SPEAKER_00:

I am right hell and happy new review from Hollywood Queer Voice. Tonight we are going to journey into the future. 2023. But before we get there, we're going to take you back in time for 2014. When Lady Loyal was on the airway with Hell. We heard it. Let's go back into the highway, lady. We're going to do the homework again. Happy New Year.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't care. Now you're in my way. I trained my soul for a wish. I knew sometimes for a kiss. I wasn't looking for this, but now you're in my way. Your stair was holding ripped jeans. It was showing. At night, wind was blowing. Where you think you're going, baby? Hey, I just met you. And this is crazy. But here's my number. Don't call me, maybe. It's hard to look right at you, baby. But here's my number. Don't call me, maybe. Hey, I just met you. And this is crazy. But here's my number. Don't call me, maybe. And all the other boys, they try to chase me. But here's my number. Don't call me, maybe. You took your time with the call. I took no time with the fall. You gave me nothing at all. But still, you're in my way. I beg and borrow and steal. At first sight, and it's real. I didn't know I would feel it, but it's in my way. Your stay was holding, ripped jeans, skin was showing. Hot night, wind was blowing. Where you think you're going, baby? I just met you, and this is crazy. But here's my number. So call me, baby. It's hard to look right at you, baby. But here's my number. So call me, baby. I just met you. And this is crazy. But here's my number. So call me, baby. And all the other boys. They try to choose me. But here's my number. Don't call me baby. Before you came into my life, I miss you so bad. I miss you so bad. I miss you so bad. Before you came into my life, I miss you so bad. I miss you know that. I miss you so bad. It's hard to look right. At you, baby. But here's my number. So call me maybe. Hey, I just met you. And this is crazy. But here's my number. So call me, baby. It's hard to look right. At you, baby. But here's my number. So call me baby. Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad. I miss you so bad. I missed you so bad. Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad. I miss you know bad. So call me baby. You said it love me, but I love you the more. You said it love me, but I love you more. Oh you said you love me, I love you more you love.

SPEAKER_01:

Love you more is by an artist just going by Kramo. From this new album that feels so good. The songs are Apologies Wasted and Runaway Apologies Wasted.

SPEAKER_03:

If you meant it, there'd be no mistaken. I cannot believe that what you say is true. When nothing changes, we never start anew. Cause that's what's in your heart, and it's what you do until you change your ways. I'll have to start anew. You will make me feel like I can make a mistake. You won't make me feel like I am broken. Don't treat me good enough to be by your side. How can you call it love? When it's trained you brain, yeah, I just realized so words are mean things, your good intentions made. Oh what we wrote a hell? I can't just turn out, I stand on me too. Apologies with human beings. I am good to be by yourself by yourself by yourself by yourself, by yourself. I love you birds, and when you have so much your pretty words, yeah, they're such a nice touch And things have changed, my soul is changed And we become less enjoying Your apologies, your stories always say that you make me feel like I give me good me feel like I am broken Don't take me good enough to be by your side by your side by your side by your side by your side I know we didn't start to think of how a broken work and be I know we didn't take the time to give your heart me Don't hesitate, would you take my hand? Cause I can take you to another land Run away from me, I can make you believe, I can make you see what you need, I can do unlocking, run away with me, leave it all in the past.

unknown:

I mean all you need if you leave with me. There's all my love out there for you and me to see if you just run the love away with me.

SPEAKER_03:

Tell him you just don't mean a thing, but that's the past cause now I'm here. You'll get a different taste of love. I'll show you how it all can be. Now it's the time to take my hand to get to know a different man. Run away with me. I can make you believe, I can make you see. I got you unlocking my gun. Leave it all be how to I know beyond you. If you leave with me, there's no way for you and me to see if you just run away with me. A shielded heart from the past, you'll have a reason to smile at last. You can believe in love tonight. Cause there's no other in my sight, and I'm a deer, already a there. I'll be your hero. Yeah, baby, as we go, those promises were broken, and now your hearts are open. Don't make me pay for that. Cause I can live your own.

unknown:

Because I love the past be high. I mean, I can be so my world out there for you and me to see if you go away.

SPEAKER_01:

This is JD Doyle. You're listening to Queer Voices, and this is a mini segment for September of my show Queer Music Heritage. The theme is Trash Disco, as done by LGBT artists, and we're already rolling. Of course, that was Sylvester from 1979 and his classic, You Make Me Feel Mighty Real. Now, what is trash disco? Well, that's a bit subjective, but to me, it was Dan's oldies, mostly his, prior to say, 1985. And in many cities in the years after that, at local clubs, music sometimes got a special day of the week. For example, in Houston, it was Sunday Trash Disco at the Montrose Mining Company. I spent many, many hours.

SPEAKER_03:

You want that to my heart. You got a fashion that you can't stop. You keep me fit through the whole light. I feel measuring your heart. You know, I can't get enough. I found a shy star. When I look into your eyes, it's hot check. I just found this hate baby. I'm so happy it must be real. That's why I'm watching the lady in my platform all alone. How I hate to spend the evening on my own. All two winds throwing outside the window as I look around the room. And it makes me so depressed to see the truth. There's not a soul out there. No one should hear my prayers. Won't somebody help me take the shadows away? Take me through the darkness till the break of the day. It's so different from the world I live in. Outside of T I open the window and I gaze into the night. But there's nothing that you see, no one inside. There's not a soul out there. No one to hear my praise. Will somebody help me chase the shadows away? Take me through the darkness till the break of the day. I can make it make a man at to midnight. Take me through the darkness till I break up the day. I've got to find me on him. I want no disguises, I'm just surprised. Someone who I'll understand. I don't need a guy who fell lonely one night. Then tell me he's got no more time. I'm looking for someone to share my life I better move all down the line. I'm looking for love. I've got to find a man's excite me, but don't invite me. Don't even notice it seems I'm always waiting, anticipating all for the man of my dreams. You need to be handsome and watching love, baby, just gotta be sweet and fun. But there's so many wanting on reading the same. I got a move on down the line. Sarden, I'm looking for love. All the time I can search, I'm looking for love. I've got to find me a man. Everybody's okay. Looking for love. I got to find a man.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

My heart's giving, my mind's dripping. I play this scene. Might be crazy, thinking maybe could this be the one I've been waiting for? Then you turn the corner, nearly lost my breath, gathered my composure. But when I looked into those eyes, well, that was it. Just you, I knew, just you, knew that I loved you, just you, I knew, just knew, knew that I love you. Oh, I've been in love in the past, but nothing ever changed that. No, this was nothing I felt before. When you got me under my skin, you took me where I've never been. It's time to know what we say. It's time to know what we say. There are too many places that I can't go. Everywhere's got a sign saying no known.

SPEAKER_04:

People pick it in peace. It's like another kind of war. But Peter Cradle in the town did it uproar.

SPEAKER_03:

The color of the skin is not a sin. And who she loves is not judged by the one above. It's not okay. It's time to know what we say. It's not okay. It's time to know what we say. Police run the people while the people run the streets. You can run in high or badge of time. Cause they're going in lots. Cause they already got love.

SPEAKER_01:

Another song with a message. Laura Cheadle sang that it's not okay. And next is Mary Lambert, who got a lot of attention last year for helping out MacLeore and Lewis on their smash hit the same love. Her own work deals with some interesting topics, like in her song Secret.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay. There we go. I've got bipolar disorder. My shit's not in order. I'm overweight. I'm always late. I've got too many things to say. I rock mom jeans, cat earrings, extrapolate my feelings. My family is dysfunctional, but we have a good time killing each other. They tell us from the time we're young to hide the things that we don't like about ourselves. Inside ourselves. Well, I'm over it. The world knows what my secrets are. Secrets are. Secrets are. I can't think straight. I'm so gay. Sometimes I cry a whole day. I care a lot. Use an analog clock and never know when to stop. And I'm passive, aggressive. I'm scared of the dark and the dentist. I love my butt and won't shut up. And I never really grew up. They tell us from the time we're young to hide the things that we don't like about ourselves. Inside ourselves. Secrets are. The world knows what my secrets are. Secrets are.

SPEAKER_03:

Why do you have to do that? I won't do it now. You just have to do that, can put my head still. Why do you make me want you again and again? I'm like a telly to be joking into the bed. What should I do now? I've been around the circle. What should I do now? You're always looking down. I know the ending to the spiral. I know the ending to the spell. I want the film. Stop playing on the film.

unknown:

Stop the film.

SPEAKER_03:

Stop playing on the film. I stop the scene and you say action and we keep rolling like around that. I stop the scene and you say that star and all the actions we went. Stop playing the film Stop playing film. Stop playing the film, stop playing the film. Stop playing the film, stop playing the film. Stop playing the film, stop playing the film. Stop playing the film, stop playing the film, stop playing the film. Meeting Mr. Wright, the man of my dreams, the one who shows me true love, or at least it seems. With brown cocoa skin and curly black hair. Just the way he looks at me, that gentle loving stare. Finally, you gotta know the way I feel about you induced. Can you wrong no? If you only knew the way I feel about you, I just can't describe it. Oh no! Finally it's happened by the front of my face. I just can't describe it. Finally it's happened by the front of my face, and I just gotta hide it. You seem to be the one with only ever want to walk so have a little fun. Now you've come along, I'm bright enough my work. The way I feel about you and just get me wrong, no, if you only knew the way I feel about you. I just can't describe it. Oh no no, I don't think it's happened.

SPEAKER_01:

He had a CD this past year called Covers, where that's what he did. Including that one originally by CC Tenison. Finally, this is JD Doyle, and I think weird voices for giving me this extra segment as well. You can hear what others are like for the rest of the year. January 1st on the website.com. Taking this out is one I think sounds quite anathematic. It's my Canadian artist Megan Lane, and it's called Someday We Will Leave This Town.

SPEAKER_02:

I see what you see, so I'll pick up your saggage of things I'll help you pack so we can run the while. I know we feel, nobody's out of bed, nobody's got a bad.

unknown:

So someday we will leave this town. Some day we will leave this down.

SPEAKER_02:

Together I see you waiting for the storm to let up. Music is to lift your head up. We can travel along. I hear there are places where we don't have to feel nervous. Where people just let us be who the world I hear there are faces where people have a fact, where people have a fact.

unknown:

Don't worry, we have to leave the back Don't work, we just don't wake up.

SPEAKER_03:

Some day we will leave this time, one day we will be this time together. Some day we will be this time. Some day we will leave this time. Some day we will be this time together.

unknown:

Some day we will leave this.
