@@leif1075Because queer people haven’t felt comfortable sharing these sorts of niche experiences like unrequited gay crushes on seemingly straight peers, it’s good to see it happening now because it’s inspiring confidence in people who grew up at a time where being gay wasn’t an ok thing. It’s cathartic, I think.
@@r0ckmomoh thanks for answering and sharing. It's even more sad It's still an issue. And indidnt realize in the song and video his crush is straight or perhaps not...and another issue is ppl still aren't OK with ppl being polyamorous or other things that aren't traditional.
I feel like I've been transported back to a concert with one of those singer-songwriters from the 70s--Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, etc. A lot of groovy folksy vibes. A brilliant move on his part.
His voice is butter, great talent! and I LOVE this song. So happy # TheView is helping to end the stigma with this wonderful, loving community! Good on you View!!!!!
@@leif1075 if you don't get within the song then you won't get at all. But from my perspective if you watch the official music video of this song you will see that this song is about a gay boy who really likes a boy who is straight most if not all gay men I know had a crush on straight men. And even thou we life in modern times this is a secret that every gay boy/man must keep for multiple obvious reasons. When it comes to Ben Platt his talent is only outmatched by his relatable humanity and modesty. He writes, compose and sings music that would effortlessly fit into the best music of a bygone era but yet it's catching which makes relevant to today's youngsters. This makes him yes a master of his graft. If you listen and look properly his music mirrors music of the big musicians who stood the test of time. Elton John, Barry Gibbs, Freddie Mercury Paul McCartney, John Lennon just to name a few. I also find that this specific song is extremely haunting and lingering and find myself often humming the tune which in turns prove my point of its lasting longevity.
As always your music, voice and lyrics touches me me so deeply that it feels like I need this like the air I breathe…you REALLY push my emotional button like no one else can do….except my last boyfriend…who pushed my buttons too….but that’s a different story 😎
We all look forward to this segment. Without these performances our lives would mean nothing. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Your banjo and song is more than perfect. Its flawless. Jesus is envious
"you don't want to kiss me, cause I'm not at all, like the girls in your posters that hang on your wall" - guts me EVERY time. i'm in tears every time I hear this song. . such a beautiful catharsis, and I so wish this had been out when I was going thru my first crush and was confused, terrified, and heartbroken.
