THE 10 GAYT SMHS SONGS, RANKED
* the smiths gay songs *
We all know the Smhs wrote an awful lot of songs that, whether or not was tentnal, sound pretty gay. ” Ok was surprisgly hard to put together, only bee I cid to orr them om least to most gay, and “angsty reprsn” is basilly the entire field we’re workg wh here. I also chose to select certa particularly strikg lyrics om each song to clu my analysis, but that don’t mean that they reprent the only gay subtext to be found.
I Keep Me HidnHate, Love and WarForce emotns to the foreBut not for me of urse, of urseI keep me hidnI’m a twenty-dig batn to unlockWh a past where to be touchedMeant to be mentalReprsg your feelgs is a fundamental gay experience.

10 GREAT GAY SONGS OM SLEATER-KNEY, THE SMHS, GEE MICHAEL AND MORE
Sam Smh's "Man I Am" is extremely that's sayg a lot, nsirg some of their most recent releas. * the smiths gay songs *
Well this is te…and yet, ’s falseThe entire song referenc the speaker’s school days wh a mix of nostalgia and bterns, and I need hardly mentn the long list of works ntag subtextual and not-so-subtextual gayns at sendary schools. That ntext, the ambiguy of state of this relatnship, and the sperate repetn of “to the back of your r” as the song fas out, mak this sound like an exprsn of nfed sire for an old, there’s a whole subgenre of Smhs songs about beg people’s rs, and they’re all gay. It has somethg to do wh the gays n’t drive meme, as this tumblr post lays out.
I bated the placement of this one, bee ’s got the most textual gay implitns, but the speaker isn’t necsarily the gay one. However, do fall to the “beg gay someone’s r” tegory, and the imagery of “the leather ns smooth on the passenger seat” is so evotive that I always thk that the speaker is at least somewhat sced.
It sure sounds like fiance the face of homophobic strangers.
SAM SMH’S NEW SGLE ‘MAN I AM’ IS THEIR GAYT SONG YET
On Sam Smh’s “Barbie” soundtrack song “Man I Am,” the performer sgs about a Ken who’s “not gay, bro,” but has “been on that lay low.” So, a Bicur Ken? * the smiths gay songs *
Alright, maybe that isn’t a universal experience, but ’s still a gay experience, at least my life. The self-loathg is what really tips this one to gay subtext terrory. There Is A Light That Never Go OutDrivg your rOh, please don’t drop me homeBee ’s not my home, ’s their home and I’m wele no moreAnd the darkened unrpassI thought oh God, my chance has e at lastBut then a strange fear gripped me and I jt uldn’t askThis is the pnacle of beg gay rs.
Even when I was a young queer who hadn’t yet cid to project gay terpretatns onto works by (probably) straight artists, I thought the speaker of this song had gotten rejected by their homophobic fay. And wantg to ask your iend wh the r somethg a dark, seclud space, only to panic and keep silent, is for sure a gay mood.

I Want The One I Can’t HaveAnd if you ever need self-validatnJt meet me the alley by the Railway statnIt’s all over my faceMuch like Buzzcks’ “Ever Fallen Love (Wh Someone You Shouldn’t’ve), ” another anthem for gay longg, the tle kd of says all wh this one. And if that isn’t a gay theme, what is? "I'm not the man you thk I am" and "I uld have been wild and I uld have been ee/ but nature played this trick on me" and "I lost my fah womanhood" and the reference to hand glove right at the end -This might be more ntroversial but I Know Its Over I stantly intified the le "love is natural and real but not for such as you and I my love" as a queer one and also the "s so easy to lgh s so easy to hate" le n be about how people mocked and bshed off gay love back then.
