| Genesis – Say It's Alright Joe Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| I believe it is the story of a sad young gay man, who’s in love for Joe, possibly the piano player at a bar, or “play me a song” may be just a methafor. He wants Joe to accept his love, which he possibly has never told him about clearly. At that time, young gay people were really afraid of revealing their desires. It was a time when almost everybody were still in the closet. Gay sex was practiced anonimously, in obscure places: “never seen the same face twice, never walked the same way”. In his dreams, he listens to kings, or angels, who laugh of his suffering. They just tell him to lead the parade. Go on, shine on, live your dreams. The lights shine on him and on Joe. Joe is the guy. He just have to say it is alright. The song is sort of an announcement of love freedom in the near future, as it has really happened to a great extension. | |
