Something Catchy for a Monday

Stand Firm has posted this lovely and moving song which is super catchy to boot. I was having trouble with it loading all the way and began casting about on youtube and found the official video (not for very young viewers). You probably still want to watch in on stand firm for the words which are not on the video here.

The song is about a man who was gay and worked through it (with the help of a beautiful woman) and stopped being gay. What I particularly like is that he didn’t seem to go in for the psychotherapy and all that (not that that’s at all a bad or unhelpful thing) but rather was honest enough with himself to examine his past and present and find that he wasn’t in a good place. And then, of course, the beautiful woman was a great help. It seems to be a classic case of homosexuality–domineering mother, distant and unavailable father equals sexual identity confusion.
