I first said I would use "personal texts". That was a dumb idea, and no one (me included) is going to find anything so I'll use
"walking h. texts"
Gonna correct this on the other post
"Catholic Boy," Jan. 8, 1995
So I'm sort of coming back, and will especially propose songs written and/or performed by queer artists during the whole month! (And I'm still open to request!)
Love and Stay Proud!
This song, released in 1992 was written by Eric Clapton after the death of his 4 year old son, in march 20th 1991.
This song is about imagining founding back his son in heaven...
[Verse 1] Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven? Would it be the same if I saw you in Heaven?
[Chorus] I must be strong and carry on ‘Cause I know I don't belong here in Heaven
[Verse 2] Would you hold my hand if I saw you in Heaven? Would you help me stand if I saw you in Heaven?
[Chorus] I'll find my way through night and day ‘Cause I know I just can't stay here in Heaven
[Bridge] Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees Time can break your heart, have you begging please Begging please
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus] Beyond the door, there's peace, I'm sure And I know there'll be no more tears in Heaven
[Verse 3] Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven? Would you be the same if I saw you in Heaven?
[Chorus/Outro] I must be strong and carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong here in Heaven

Making Radio Ga Ga (1984)
bro i LOVE indigenous fusion music i love it when indigenous people take traditional practices and language and apply them in new cool ways i love the slow decay and decolonisation of the modern music industry
Released in 1973, this cool and chill song is largely inspired by Billy Joel's personal experience as a bar pianist.
(Lyrics under the cut)
[Verse 1] It's nine o'clock on a Saturday The regular crowd shuffles in There's an old man sittin' next to me Makin' love to his tonic and gin He says, "Son, can you play me a memory? I'm not really sure how it goes But it's sad, and it's sweet, and I knew it complete When I wore a younger man's clothes"
[Refrain] La, la-la, di-dee-da La-la, di-dee-da da-dum
[Chorus] Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright
[Verse 2] Now John at the bar is a friend of mine He gets me my drinks for free And he's quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke But there's someplace that he'd rather be He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me" As the smile ran away from his face "Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star If I could get out of this place"
[Refrain] Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da La-la, di-dee-da da-dum
[Verse 3] Now Paul is a real estate novelist Who never had time for a wife And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the navy And probably will be for life And the waitress is practicing politics As the businessmen slowly get stoned Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness But it's better than drinkin' alone
[Piano Solo]
[Chorus] Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright
[Verse 4] It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday And the manager gives me a smile 'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see To forget about life for a while And the piano, it sounds like a carnival And the microphone smells like a beer And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"
[Refrain] Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da La-la, di-dee-da da-dum
[Chorus] Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright

I know the poll is still going, but I still wanted to share so here's an exemple of what Other could be...
Lyrics under the cut ;)
[Verse 1] I'll be your mirror Reflect what you are, in case you don't know I'll be the wind, the rain, and the sunset The light on your door to show that you're home
[Chorus] When you think the night has seen your mind That inside, you're twisted and unkind Let me stand to show that you are blind Please put down your hands 'Cause I see you
[Verse 2] I find it hard to believe you don't know The beauty you are But if you don't, let me be your eyes A hand to your darkness so you won't be afraid
[Chorus] When you think the night has seen your mind That inside, you're twisted and unkind Let me stand to show that you are blind Please put down your hands 'Cause I see you
[Outro] I'll be your mirror (Reflect what you are) I'll be your mirror (Reflect what you are) I'll be your mirror (Reflect what you are) I'll be your mirror (Reflect what you are)

Glycerine Queen by Suzi Quatro
My dumb self couldn't read them... like, since I opened that blog.
I'm sorry if you ever send me a rec or an advice or just anything in general, I haven't see it yet.
Will make a warning post when I'll put things back in place. You can still send stuffs, I will gladly read them when I could!
Will tag those kind of post as "personal texts"
Update : will rather use "walking h. texts"
I mainly share my favourite pre-2000s rock music, but I would also love recs from you ! (I'll try post regularly but do not expect much honestly)
