I am quite disturbed, yet fascinated and entertained by a new artist from Europe called Tatu…especially by their international smash hit single called “All the Things She Said”!
I love the song…the music is powerful and energizing and mesmerizing…hypnotic, sensual, seductive…etc. etc.. but the thing that bothers me for some reason is that it is plainly a pro lesbian song.
Now…I am not a bigot or prude or anything like that. I consider myself a modern day renaissance man who is open minded and very empathetic to every walk of life…but the whole subject of gay/lesbianism relationships have always confused me. Despite all the scientific studies and professional opinions spewed forth on this subject through the years (even as far back as Ancient Greece!), there is still no definitive answer as to whether or not being homosexual is genetic or simply a choice. Thus, I don’t know if it’s right or wrong…or natural, for lack of a better term. Another argument against homosexuality is the matter of procreation. Simply put, God created a man and woman in such a way as to be able to create life…period. A man cannot impregnate another man and a woman can’t get another woman pregnant. End of discussion…
However, when it comes to matters of the heart, one must take homosexual relationships seriously. I don’t doubt that they are just as many if not more healthy gay or lesbian romantic relationships as there are heterosexual relationships. For goodness sakes…more than half of straight marriages end in divorce! So, I can understand and respect the fact that a person could fall in love with a person from the same sex.
That brings me to the song..”All the Things She Said” and the artist TaTu. I found the song and music video (especially the live performance video of tatu at the Italian Festival concert) very haunting and entrancing.
Here are two beautiful creatures with voices like angels singing about the love they have for one another…and they are wrapped with guilt and remorse because of their fears and concerns about how society and most of all how their friends and family members will react to their still forbidden relationship. It’s like a mini movie and rings very true. I can feel the pain and angst that countless young girls all over the world must experience in
similar situations. The same would apply for boys…maybe more so since the world as a whole seems to more harsh towards gay men than lesbians.
What the hell am I trying to say? Who knows…all I know is that this is a beautiful song that has made me think and ponder some serious issues that don’t sit well with me. What more can you ask from a pop song? It sure beats the snot out of the drivel from the stuff that comes out of people like emenen or nsync….sheesh.
Here are the lyrics…
All The Things She Said
Home : >>>MORE TATU : All The Things She Said
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
This is not enough
I’m in serious s–t, I feel totally lost
If I’m asking for help it’s only because
Being with you has opened my eyes
Could I ever believe such a perfect surprise?
I keep asking myself, wondering how
I keep closing my eyes but I can’t block you out
Wanna fly to a place where it’s just you and me
Nobody else so we can be free
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
This is not enough
This is not enough
All the things she said
All the things she said
And I’m all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed
They say it’s my fault but I want her so much
Wanna fly her away where the sun and rain
Come in over my face, wash away all the shame
When they stop and stare – don’t worry me
Cause I’m feeling for her what she’s feeling for me
I can try to pretend, I can try to forget
But it’s driving me mad, going out of my head
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
This is not enough
This is not enough
All the things she said
All the things she said
Mother looking at me
Tell me what do you see?
Yes, I’ve lost my mind
Daddy looking at me
Will I ever be free?
Have I crossed the line?
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
This is not enough
This is not enough
All the things she said
All the things she said
