songs interpreted through BL

I wanted to share some songs I like, but thought that just throwing out links would be boring so I'm providing some "context" for the songs. Though these songs obviously apply to all relationships, I'm stained with BL mania so it's the most natural way for me to describe the songs. XDXD

No Sleep Tonight by The Faders
Alpha-bastard seme rapist declaring his intent in an upbeat song. Seriously, check out the lyrics.

I got you, i got you on my mind

And it's time to make you see (what i want)
So I'll just make this a little more obvious

Cause I get what I want, and I want you to get with me! 


Don't think you know,

How far I'm gonna do


You Oughta Know by The Killing Moon
Bitter angsty anthem of the spurned woman by Alannis Morissette covered so well by a guy...Thus making me think of the uke whose been dumped by his lover so that the lover can marry a woman.

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive


Complicated by Carolyn Dawn Johnson
Entire manga/books have been all about the guy who finds that he's in love with a friend and agonizes over it, sometimes in a touching, affecting way and sometimes in an irritating "just get over it or confess already!" way.

I'm so scared that the way that I feel
Is written all over my face
When you walk into the room
I wanna find a hiding place
We used to laugh, we used to hug,
The way that all friends do
But now a smile and a touch of your hand
Just makes me come unglued,

Such a contridiction,
Do I lie or tell the truth,
Is it fact or fiction,
Oh the way I feel for you


Last Night on Earth by Delta Goodrem
Typical angsty declaration of love, always useful when the lovers think they might be separated for whatever reason.

If tomorrow never comes I want you to know right now that I
I'm gonna love you until the day I die
If tomorrow falls asleep can you hold me first
I'm gonna love you like it's the last night on earth


Guess It May by Rosie Thomas
Song for the character who has love and happiness but is horribly insecure and resigned to the fact that things might not work out. Of course something (or things) happen, often completely trivial (or a complete misunderstanding), that tip the insecurity into full-blown anxiety and angst.

I’m still learning what love is
When I’m walking close to you
The best way to hold your hand in mine
The best way to comfort you

Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
It may always be this way
