| Pet Shop Boys – It's A Sin Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
After years, listening back I suddenly hear the geniality of this song. Hidden in the bit outdated sounds lies a beautiful arrangment. It's a classic!! But that's not all of my point. The lyrics strike me as very honest and profound. It touched me. In my opinion, the singer talks about the results of his catholic upbringings, not so much about the upbringing itself. How shame, acquiered in your early youth, still works as a toxic poison, lingers through all aspects of your life, defining it. Sexuality, work, friendships, family relations. Even when you don't have a clue. For all people who recognise this, I can strongly advise to read Alan Downs book: The Velvet Rage. It unraffels into great detail how shame influences gay men in a very unobtrusive yet toxic way. A must read!! This book deals with all things the Pet Shop Boys bring here into this wonderful song. Thank you, PSB!! |
