Default Coming Out Songs

I was wondering if anyone knows of any songs that I could play to my friends to "tell" them that I am gay. I'm not talking about stuff like the song/video "What What in the Butt." I mean like serious songs. This is (kinda) an example. I told my crush that I liked him by sending him the lyrics to a Price song called "I Feel for You" which really got my point across. But I'm talking about legit, serious songs to come out to.

I'm gay, but not "fabulous" so that may seem a little too....how do I say this....."gay" (for lack of a better word).

This is gonna be hard search, cuz there can only be 1 song for me out there.

And if anyone is curious as to what the lyrics to the Prince song is, I'll paste them below.
(Prince says "baby" a lot in the song, so I took them out when I sent it to my "crush". I would never say "baby". This way, it is more like a poem)

When I look at you
I get a warm feeling inside
Theres something about the things you do
That keeps me satisfied
I wouldnt lie to you.
Its mainly a physical thing
This feeling that I got for you.
It makes me wanna sing
I feel for you--i think I love you
I feel for you--i think I love you


This is only the first verse, by the way.

I was thinking of Billy Brown too
How about Dear Prudence? Ever since Across The Universe used the song to get Prudence out of the closet, it's been my song when I came out to my friends.

Ummm

Reach - Sclub 7

that song is sooo about the gayness

"And when the rainbows shining over you, that's when your dreams will al come true"

That's kinda flamboyant too

I don't know if this helps. It's helped me through a lot.

Darren Hayes - Darkness

t doesn't really matter where it all began
All I know
I was covered in darkness
Covered in darkness

Turning pages over
Run away to nowhere
And it's hard to take control
When your enemy's old and afraid of you
You'll discover that the monster you were running from
Is the monster in you

Better to hold on to love
Cuz all I know
I was lost
I was lost
Change will come

I really like this one!!!
But I think I'm gonna have to go with Billy Brown. I don't know.....I mean, they lyrics to Darkness are perfect, but only when presented as poem-like. Billy Brown works better if I am going to play him the song.

I do like the song Dear Prudence, but I don't think it would fit for me. [EDIT: oh man...I just got it. she's literally coming out of the closet. I'm kinda slow]

Thanks for all your help!

Haha, this thread's title ended up with me getting this mental image going of someone coming out in song lol, like a musical...

"Hey, I have to tell you something"
"What would that be?"
"I'm gay, I have to say, I'm gay"
"What's that you say?"
"I said I'm gay!!!!"
*enter random group of people singing*
- "He says he's gay! Sha la-la-laaaa...."

Umm... yeah... I'm weird.

On a more serious note, since it seems like you've decided on a song to use, good luck!

Damn...you know what? I was gonna send him a link to the song on youtube, but he has dial-up, it would take forever to load, so i just sent him a poem i wrote instead. I guess I'll have to use the song for someone else.

Damn you Martin you got here first....well actually I was going to say Here's Where I Stand:

+ YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.


Here in the Dark
I stand before you
This is my chance to show you my heart
This is the start, this is the start.

I have so much to say and I'm hoping
That your Arms are open
Don't turn away, don't you need me?
But you have to hear me.

Here's where I stand,
Here's who I am
Love me, but don't tell me who I have to be
Here's who I am,
I'm what you see.

You said I had to change and I was trying
But my heart was lying
I'm not a child any longer
I am stroooongerrrr

Here's where I stand,
Here's who I am
Help me, to move on but please don't tell me how
I'm on my way, I'm moving out


In this life we've come so far
but we're only who we are (who we are)
Courage of love (Courage of Love)
will show us the way (Show us the way)
Unlock the power
To stand up and saaaaa--aaaaayyy (Stand upppp)

(Up and say!)
Herreeeee's where I stand
Here's who I am
(Stand Up) I'll be counting, counting on you
If you're with me, we'll make it through

Here's where I stand,
Here's who I am
Love me, Love me, Love me, and we'll make it through

Here's where I stand,
Baby, Baby, Baby, I'm counting on you

Here's where I stand
Love me, Love me, Love me, and we'll make it through

Personally, I can't think of a better song, although I really like Billy Brown. I'm actually going to use this song to introduce me next time I do a speech at Kairos (a semi-religious but more spiritual retreat)

The extremely famous song, Tainted love was written for the artists gay lover. I think this is the least gay thing I can think of.

Tainted love by soft cell.

I'm coming out
I'm coming
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 knew it
Ooh, I'll make it through

The time has come for me
To break out of this shell
I have to shout
That I am coming out

I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show
I'm coming out

I've got to show the world
All that I wanna be
And all my abillities
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 is no need to fear
And I just feel so good
Everytime I hear

I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show
I'm coming out

I think i may know a song Its from afi "love like Winter"


It's in the blood,It's in the blood
I met my love,before I was born
He wanted love,I taste of blood
He bit my lip,and drank my war
From years before,from years before


but then later on itn the song replace the he with she
