This song is about gender confusion. You'd have to have at least some degree of confusion to at least let those thoughts seriously cross your mind, I think. The last lines make me think that Tim's friend would be okay with dating a guy, except it's just different and weird and not the same as a girl.
@spoonnerz That or...could it be a statement about the legality of gay marriage? I can't remember if they got it sorted out up there, but the "so I could be your fiancé" made me wonder that.
@Tr0llShaman Nah. I don't think it's about that. He goes on to say "I'm not saying you can't be these things fro me, but it's not the same, 'cause you're a man, and so am I" Those might not be exact, since I'm typing them from memory, but that's the gist of it. That makes me think that TIm's friend is too insecure to be okay with dating a guy, but he's okay with loving him, he thinks. He isn't sure. Neither am I. :s
@spoonnerz Either way, I doubt he'd be talking about politics. There are no political allusions other than that part you just mentioned, and even then, it's a little shady.
And I do agree, it is all those things. It is partly what inspired me to pick up guitar. ;P
I liked that you sang it, disliked that he was a dick. I 'liked' and then realized that it was a bad thing, and tried to dislike. Discovered that Youtube doesn't like people who change their opinions, and I"m sorry D:
I've been listening to songs for years and I still can't tell if it's gay or not. One one hand it's a love song for a man, but on the another hand it's explicitly saying that he can't date Tim because he's not gay. This song is truly a great puzzle.
Hey guys, I just finished up a Bass cover of Of Montreal's "For our elegant caste" I'd really appreciate it if anyone would mind watching and possibly leaving insight. I really appreciate it in advance as i worked pretty hard on this one...
@SofeeShorts Well, it is different being attracted to a boy from a girl. Although i personally do not have anyone who i wish i could change the gender of, i do have somoneiwishcouldchangethesexualorientationof, and it is different.
Guys, be honest. If you had a chance to turn your best friend into the opposite sex, would you? Remember, your friend won't look ugly or resemble anything like its original form. Now, would you?
(yes, it is officially a female, or male if you're a girl)
@youcantstealmyname Kevin has said that he is surprised that he isn't gay, what with his flamboyant and effeminate nature and all, but that in spite of all that, he's just straight and there's really no getting around it. Now THAT, my friends, is a man who is truly secure with his sexuality.
I almost cried when I heard this song. I feel just the same way, but only about this girl I know. Why wasn't she born a guy?! ARJ! Or well, why isn't she gay?
@ManicsPanicClash Holy fuck! I was thinking the exact same thing (re: Robin and Superboy)!!!!! LMAO! I wanted to make a music video with this song. xD
This is the perfect song for the end of Superbad when the two guys are in bed and are holding each and saying, "I love you... how come i never told you that before?"
jaja good time's with Tim.
