And everyone is Gay"?

 

Idk why but it seems weird to me

Or two different things. I think both definitions of gay are implied.

Billie Joe has an excellent way with words.

I think it just means how he thinks erverone is bisexual which he has always said.

He wouldn't say "everyone is happy and everyone is happy" so why would the gay not mean as in bi or homosexual. He's on the record as believing everyone is bi without social norms.

I don't agee but whoever wrote the lyric is brilliant. Was it really Sam Cooke?

Sam Cooke didn't really write it but it seems Billie was inspired by Twistin The Night Away. 

Let me tell you 'bout a place
Somewhere up a New York way
Where the people are so gay
Twistin' the night away

Wow. Amazing how many homages and lyrical and music throws he's doing on this album. It's really brilliant. I've actually never seen an unabashed tribute to a legend's influences as this album is. 

Its honestly so great and unique. 

Have you guys noticed that Chasing The Ghost sounds almost identical musically to Stay The Night? Just realized it. I hope they keep playing Stay The Night. He so obviously loves playing that song.

Now that you say it, it does sound like Stay The Night. CTG and other Longshot songs are just like Trilogy songs but with deeper lyrics. Stay The Night is amazing, no wondrr that I love CTG too. Chasing is a lot more emotional imo though

Without a doubt! CTG as I said earlier I believe is one of his most, and maybe his most vulnerable he’s ever put himself and I include WMUWSE.

But were off topic and the fuzz are on to me. :ermm:

Actually I love this thread and plan to make it a cofee table book on its tenth year in 2 years. I’d buy one.

To give an oldsters perspective, remember when Sam Cooke wrote about people being gay (1962 according to Google), he didn't mean anything whatsoever about their sexual orientation, the word has changed use since then.  I say again, typical Billie but agree, a word play and a tribute to Sam Cooke all in one, I love it.

I used to think 

"Marching out of time to my own beat now" 

was

"Marching out of time to my own denial"

 

and idk if it makes sense in the slightest xP

In Love is for Losers

Instead of:

For my long lost Valentine

I mishear:

My heart’s a lesbian

Poetic in its own way haha

I always hear lesbian too!

Once upon a time, I used to think 

"You and I together, hand and hand
We run away, far away"

 

was

 

"You and I together, and in hell
We run away, far away"
