Some of George Michael's most powerful songs are ambiguous: "
* Father Figure" and "One More Try" for example. It can be about a man-woman relationship, but the intensity and agony can also lend itself to having to be secret with man-man relationship and feeling cold, isolated wanting someone to love. * oh, and I always trip on the line in "I want your sex" when he says "there are boys you can trust and girls that you don't." He could have written that the other way around, but he didn't and I think it's hilarious. He was dating a woman at the time of this album so maybe this is all subconscious ambiguity ... but he's also said he was sexually confused at that time ... so I don't know if it was intentional or not. But you know all of G.M's solo songs are like this and that's why I loved them. When he was with Wham, he used the "she" pronoun. But not in the fabulous "I'm Your Man!" This song has got Ambiguity with a capital A: "You're divine Wanna take you, wanna make you But they tell me it's a crime! Everybody knows where the good people go But where we're going baby Ain't no such word as bad.... "I ain't asking for no sacrifice -- baby, our friends do not need to know!" . . | |
