I would just like to apologize long rant and reply to my first try at unpacking what this beautiful song means to me. Thinking about my old boyfriend made me drink while I was writing, and I didn't realize my old boyfriend was going to react like that. He was always into the zombie shows, but I had no idea it had gone so far. It seems he even took one for his wife. (there I go again!) Why he thought I owed him anything, I will never understand. But I still love him very much. Again, I'm very sorry for what occurred on this song. It's a beautiful song about coming out of the closet and how we are all human. I better apologize to all the fans out there that my ex-lover so viciously put down. |

This song is very powerful to me as a listener. It reminds of the when I finally came out of the closet. It was exactly like the feeling when you walk over a long bridge. This was very difficult for me to write. I hope you enjoy my song and feel it in your heart as deeply as it is for me. If not, I apologize for this disturbance that will surely rattle your brain. It is a very pivotal moment when a boy becomes man and a man becomes a father. well I walked over the bridge into the city where I live and I saw my old landlord His ball and chain (his boyfriend) in the studio. well, we both said hello there was nowhere else to go cause his rent I couldn’t afford The boyfriend he was seeing, suddenly wanted a lot of money. well relationships change though I think its kind of strange how money makes a man grow His boyfriend had been a gold digger all the time, but this one lost because he didn't wait, so he threw money at him in a crying storm. some people they claim if you get enough fame He decide right then and there, that he was going to be famous and nothing, not even having to shave his beard and carry a microphone and putting the guitar aside until he need to pick it up. He had to hop across the stage. It's a put down to his boyfriend. you live over the rainbow it's a relief not feel the suffering he brought him and he wasn't going to feel that pain again. you live somewhere over the rainbow flag, of being categorized, Mainstream, or Anti-Mainstream, beyond this, like a Tantric master, but exactly the opposite. over the rainbow non stop sexual feelings but the people on the street out on buses or on feet we all got the same blood flow Here is threatening people. Just letting you know, you bleed too. oh, in society every dollar got a deed He is furiously upset how he was lead on by this man who told him he loved him and was his first love. We met in college. we all need a place where we can go We is used here as the Royal We. He is actually telling his former long term boyfriend that he can go to hell. i was amazed and upset because he asked for money, that money was going to be his anyway. i loved him. my money was of course his money. He got nervous, I don't know. I had no intention of leaving him, I don't know what he was thinking. We couldn't marry back then. Isn't it hard enough without 2 gay men being able to get married? and feel over the rainbow Where do we go to get free sex? To those that were born to people that were free sexually. and sometimes we forget what we got He forgot all about his boyfriend, and the money he took from him. who we are, I am a gay lover. and who we are not I think we got a chance to make it right keep it loose keep it tight keep it tight I’m in love with a girl who’s in love with the world girl is used in the "You Go Girl" sense. It turned out my old boyfriend was cheating on me, he was meeting men on Craigslist and then inviting them to gather in a large party setting. Those men counseled him to leave me after i came home from my world symposium tour: "How to Survive Torture" and get the money he owed him for being the person who inspired him to write those songs. and I can’t help but follow he follows the weekend home and parties all the time now, (my past boyfriend.) though I know someday she is bound to go away Again the She is use "She So Sexy" phrase mostly heard by stylish, effementish gay men, cross dressers, and stay over the rainbow gotta learn how to let her go Again with the reversed homovulpine use of the personal her over the rainbow Over the rainbow flag, beyond gay into another space where he would not get hurt. sometimes we forget who we got My boyfriend, FOR SURE, forgot who he got who they are and who they are not there is so much more in love than black and white Anti-Mainstream: Bears, Cubs, Lumberjack Hipster (notice no beard:signifying mainstream love and sex), sado masochism, necrophiliacs, cannibalistic necrophiliacs, goreaphiles: people who obsess over gaping wounds in a large muscle group, even creating them a victim and using it as their cavity of choice: those that eat dead bodies while engaging in sex with the dead body they are eating at the same time.molesters, rapists, sado masochists, people with only 3 emotions: jealousy, anger, self pity, they do exist. These are people actual people, they are not animals as they would rather be, but they have two hands, feet, 1 face, a torso, 2 ears, 2 eyes, 1 mouth, all parts of the human. We know they exist, it is impossible to deny. Then there is the other side of that,which experiences more popularity called, Mainstream. At least there is almost none of the other going on. If we find out they cross over to the other side of the bridge. Which I did, it was time to move on in my life. I walked over the bridge. Black and White. I learned there was no gray area in love. It actually was black and white. There are 2 sides and only 2. That is why I am going over the rainbow. keep it loose child gotta keep it tight keep it loose child keep it tight keep it tight The last I saw of him was in a coffee shop. He didn't recognize me. I had changed. He was talking to a man in his twenties, sounded like he was sharing about his gay relationships in the past. But of course it would. It's just sort of weird and fun. I like women. I wasn't born gay. I tried it, it didn't turn me off. I now keep my legs crossed very very tight. They both laughed. i didn't know what it meant exactly. It could be relating a story and I caught only one end of it. It could be that he was bi-sexual instead of gay and then he was planning on "giving it all up" to be straight. Say goodbye like My Private Idaho. The Bridge he walked over, for me, was the Golden Gate Bridge, to the city where I live. But for him it seemed he had decided not to be gay? All I know was that I didn't feel pain anymore. it had been white knuckle deep down in my bones pain with cancer and other chronic problems with fatique syndrom and chrones disease, two very difficult disease which are very difficult to diagnose and cause severe chronic pain. |

Dear BeeSea, i am at your service and here to help. My very sympathetic advice to you to is to, "try to have fun no matter what you do." German researchers in the early 70's found that brain scan activity taken of a person who's leg has been broken, is the exact same activity registered when a person is struggling through the emotional pain of a break up! Most fascinating of all is, breaking a bone pain is the same as heartbreak pain, heartbreak pain lasts much longer than broken leg pain! Mostly, because if we choose to use it, we now have the technology to reset a bone and the invention of anesthesia. German laboratories are always on the cutting edge of pain! As Americans, it is our duty to systematize this knowledge for our benefit, to make lemonade out of lemons x25. Remember, it's your problem, it's not other people. |
