ohh cut the fucking smuggness act davideye, its not very attractive...


can we get back to the topic now?


Then back to the topic then.

Davideye might appercaite this one.

Donna Summer's "All Systems Go" album seems to have several songs that MIGHT be alluding to AIDs (and this is surprising since at the time she was in hot air with her gay fans about alleged comments as well as the fact that she had turned down a song about AIDs from Paul Jabara years later, but that's a whole different thread). "Bad Reputation" is a song that says "Don't fuck around" but it's only concern is reputation. "Love Shock" COULD be just a silly song about falling in love but ALSO might be implying that screwing around might get you "infected". Listening to this song and it's upbeat pace and carefree seemingly carefree attitude, I might be reading into it. Now the song that really feels like a compassionate AIDs anthem is "Voices Cryin' Out", which is a huge 80s ballad (and probably her best song on the album, if not a highlight of her entire 80s career). The song is about people suffering but it isn't very specfic. It might be hunger since she says "from some foreign shore" but that just might mean how the public is dissconnected from AIDs. Judge for yourself.

Voices cryin' out, voices cryin' out
Voices cryin' out in the night hear them call
Voices cryin' out hear them call

It's a night
Like no other night
It's a day
Almost turning grey
It's a heart
Like a broken heart
It's a wheel
At the end of day
It's the plight
Of a boy who's scared
Of the waves rushing out
And the wind in the air
It's the sight
Of one longing to taste
Of life

Voices crying out in the night hear them call
Voices from some foreign shore
Visions that seem an incredible dream
Echoing for more
Voices crying out in the night hear them call
Voices crying out hear them call

It's a song
Of a love unsung
It's the pain
Of just being young
It's a cry
Of a voice unheard
Of a face
Speaking silent words
It's the hope
That the time goes by
Take you upon a wing
Teach your soul to fly
It's a wish
That you'll live your experience life

Voices crying out in the night hear them call
Voices from some foreign shore
Vision that seem an incredible dream
Echoing for more
Voices crying out in the night hear them call
Voices crying out hear them call

Oh do you know how it feels to be free
Walking your path of life
Embracing destiny one day at a time

Voices cryin' out...Oh can't you hear them
Voices cryin' out...Listen please, listen to the future
Voices cryin' out...Millions and millions and millions of voices
Voices cryin' out...Oh oh oh oh

Voices crying out in the night hear them call
Voices from some foreign shore
Vision that seem an incredible dream
Echoing for more
Voices crying out in the night hear them call
Voices crying out hear them call

Voices crying out in the night hear them call
Voices from some foreign shore
Vision that seem an incredible dream
Echoing for more
Voices cryin' out
Voices cryin' out
Voices cryin' out...


The lyrics are credited to Donna, the music to Harold Faltemeyer.

This is the cover of the single, not the album, but I prefer it more.

Italian but not gay. I know sterotypically those things usually go together...huh? I do beleive and want gay rights because I think that all people should be treated equally and have read and even witnessed way too much discrimination in the past and see a slide backwards if gay men and women do not get treated equally. And I love me some Donna Summer, Kylie, Madonna, Cher, etc., child!...And I don't usually say "child" so I can see how you would get confused.

Liza....uh, no! Altough she did make an album with the Pet Shop Boys...I do like a lot of rock and other types of music but don't know as much of the history of it as I do with divas.

Thank you for putting us back on topic. I never realized my sexuality and age would be such a hot topic.
