Songs about Coming Out of the Closet! THe only one i know is Deeper and Deeper by Madonna
"Never gonna hide it again, never gonna have to pretend" Of course there's MJ's In the CLoset, but it seems to have the opposite effect. | |

How about Diana Ross' "I'm Coming Out"? Actually, I don't know if she talking about what you're talking about, but this could be a gay anthem.
I’m coming out I’m coming I’m coming out I’m coming out I’m coming out I’m coming out I’m coming out I want the world to know Got to let it show I’m coming out I want the world to know I got to let it show There’s a new me coming out And I just had to live And I wanna give I’m completely positive I think this time around I am gonna do it Like you never do it Like you never knew it Ooh, I’ll make it through The time has come for me To break out of the shell I have to shout That I’m coming out I’m coming out I want the world to know Got to let it show I’m coming out I want the world to know I got to let it show I’m coming out I want the world to know Got to let it show I’m coming out I want the world to know I got to let it show I’ve got to show the world All that I wanna be And all my billities There’s so much more to me Somehow, I have to make them Just understand I got it well in hand And, oh, how I’ve planned I’m spreadin’ love There’s no need to fear And I just feel so glad Everytime I hear: I’m coming out I want the world to know Got to let it show I’m coming out I want the world to know I got to let it show I like Barbara Mason's club classic "Another Man". Maybe I've had it all wrong all these years but I think she's singing about her "down low" man. Can't find the lyrics but it goes something like caught in the middle I don't know what to do/what can you do when your man is untrue/there's another man...beatin' my time. In other words, her man is cheating on her with another man. Song cracks me up. | |

songs I think are: Damn I wish i was your lover - sophie b. hawkins Freedom - george michael waiting for that day - george michael Deeper and deeper is about coming out. I think it has been said before. ANyway the way i interpret it is that a person being raised by their parents to be a certain way so they have to repress their true feelings and hide themselves. But at the end she says how she's "never gonna hide it again," and "never gonna have to pretend," even though she was raised with certain morals. This song doesn't pertain to Madonna specifically. | |

METAMORPHOSIS - Pet Shop Boys
----- Please allow me to try and explain I'm living proof that man can change I knew what I wanted I knew how to get it It didn't make it happy so I started again What I wanted to be was a family man but nature had some alternative plans So I did without the lot put emotion on hold and hoped my instincts would do what they were told I wanna know yeah I wanna know But every now and then often at night a particular feeling would surface in spite of what I told myself and tried to deny I kept on asking the question: why? I wanna know yeah I wanna know You grow up and experience this a total metamorphosis It's all about change It's a metamorphosis With time and age I had to change 'cause my behaviour was getting strange People on the street caught my eye and I began to think I might be their kind of guy The long-term suppression of an adolescent urge was in retreat and I was on the verge of falling in love or having fun Time was running out Something had to be done I wanna know yeah I wanna know I wanna know yeah Tell me what's the reason Where was I? Laying down the law dancing with others out on the floor Music and smoke What did it mean? Somebody spoke and I went into a dream I had what I wanted madly in love Nothing else mattered This was enough Questions were answered which used to perplex in particular those about the big s.e.x. I wanna know yeah I wanna know I wanna know yeah Tell me what's the reason You grow up and experience this A total metamorphosis It's all about love It's a metamorphosis Dreaming is easy life is tough I got the picture The most important thing is not to end up bitter 'cause when you start to feel increasingly forlorner woomph! love comes right around the corner It may not last but here am I once a caterpillar now a butterfly It can seem strange but when you reminisce It's all about change It's a metamorphosis I wanna know yeah I wanna know I wanna know It's all about love It's a metamorphosis You grow up and experience this A total metamorphosis It's all about change It's a metamorphosis I wanna know yeah I wanna know I wanna know yeah I wanna know It's all about change It's a metamorphosis I wanna know yeah I wanna know It's all about love It's a metamorphosis | |

Coming Out Of Hiding
Rupaul From the album RuPaul RedHot (RuPaul / Tom Trujillo) I've been living in the shadows A dark and lonely place An empty room without a window No sun upon my face But I'm coming out Into the light of day Don't stand in my way I've made up my mind It's time for me to shine This moment is all mine I'm coming out of hiding I'm coming out of hiding -I'm coming out My time is now no time for tomorrow No more livin' in shame And if I have to beg, steal or borrow You will remember my name Yes, I'm movin on I've found respect for me I see my destiny there Yes, I will be strong Got someone lovin me And that someone is me! No more hiding - light of day Not givin' up - can't keep me down Not givin in - I'm comin' out. | |

Coming Out Of The Dark
Gloria Estefan Why be afraid if I'm not alone Though life is never easy the rest in unkown Up to now for me it's been hands against stone Spent each and every moment Searching for what to believe (chorus) Coming out of the dark, I finally see the light now It's shinning on me Coming out of the dark, I know the love that saved me You're sharing with me Starting again is part of the plan And I'll be so much stronger holding your hand Step by step I'll make it through I know I can It may not make it easier but I have felt you Near all the way (repeat chorus) Forever, forever I stand on the rock of your love Forever I'll stand on the rock Forever, forever I stand on the rock of your love Love is all it takes, no matter what we face (chorus out) Space for sale... | |

Over The Rainbow (Arlen-Harburg) ----- Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true Some day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemondrops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I? Some day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemondrops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I?

Andre Cymone's "Book of Love":
Once a friend came to me and asked me if I knew the way He said his woman stepped out and he really thinks he's turning gay So I took him by his hand and looked him right in the eyes I said falling in love with a man ain't no surprise Andy is a four letter word. | |

The Barkays' "Loose Talk":
Rumors here and rumors there Idle gossip everywhere Am I a king or am I a queen No one knows the inside scene Well I've been told that I'm obscene But is your closet really clean They chit and chat about what I am But frankly I don't give a damn Andy is a four letter word. | |

you know, for some reason (maybe i read it, i'm not sure) i always thought secret was about heroin addiction and recovery. i'd have to actually read the article about deeper and deeper being about coming out. to me, it does not sound gender specific or focused on any one sexuality. the lyrics simply suggest someone is in love and is going to respect it and celebrate it and tell the world. this could be a straight person or a gay person. but that's just my [Edited 9/16/04 22:31pm] | |

Well, the ultimate song about that subject is properly called "I'm Gay" and can be downloaded on this webpage (go to July 5th):
http://www.ubu.com/outsid.../07-1.html Too lazy to transcribe the lyrics, but here's a commentary from the webpage: The smash hit, sexually revolutionary, 1974 Musical: Let My People Come! Insipid! Banal! Insane! Seeing that punk rock was born out of the schlock of the 70's, and mostly of the homosexual/weirdo/druggie/nihilist breed, listening to this song makes me understand why punk rock happened at all. Anyone who felt they didn't fit in ran screaming from the music you hear on this page and began a culture of Nastiness. In a way it's good this cheeseball music was made as it was something to turn against, I guess... | |
