Lyrics:
Who’s gonna tell us the stories
That our textbooks don’t?
Tales of love that stay blurry
‘Cause our courses won’t
Ignore the way they’re designed
To erase the past
To keep good intentions secret
To force a mask
Too many handwritten letters
Signed to “my dearest, with love”
All pulled from their papers
Ripped out as cover-up
To disguise endearment as friendly notes
It doesn’t take a scholar
To know how this one goes
And historians will call them
Close friends besties, roommates, colleagues
Anything but lovers
History hates lovers
Sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies
Anything but lovers
History hates lovers
40 years living together
Wearing the same wedding bands
Two kids and a golden retriever
“Just friends” don’t live like that
They don’t look at each other
with love in their eyes
With hopes to settle down
For the rest of their lives
How many decades of hiding?
Twenty-one centuries of hate
Some things may not have been okay back then
But it’s sure alright today
Too afraid to call it what it is
Doesn’t take a scholar
To understand this
And historians will call them
Close friends besties, roommates, colleagues
Anything but lovers
History hates lovers
Sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies
Anything but lovers
History hates lovers
Keep it hidden
Rewrite history
Leave it wrapped up
In a mystery
Because no one can figure it out
(I think they’ve figured it out)
Stash the proof
Hide the evidence
Keep it locked up
‘Til it’s relevant
Because they can’t figure it out
(They figured it out.They figured it out.)
Because no one can figure it out
I think they figured it out.
And historians will call them
Close friends besties, roommates, colleagues
Anything but lovers
History hates lovers
Sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies
Anything but lovers
History hates lovers

about Chopin:
"In one letter to a male school friend, he wrote: “You don’t like being kissed. Please allow me to do so today. You have to pay for the dirty dream I had about you last night.”
There are 22 letters on record from Chopin to the same friend, Tytus Woyciechowski, and he often began them with “my dearest life”, and signed off: “Give me a kiss, dearest lover.”
But the English-Canadian biographer Alan Walker insisted in his 2018 book Fryderyk Chopin: A Life and Times that the homoerotic love letters penned by Chopin were the result of “psychological confusion”, and added that Woyciechowski was a “bosom friend”.
Chopin bisexual icon
History hates lovers...
Really? Where can i read more about it??? 💖
Dear Lord JUST LET IT BE A ROMANCE BRO
Yea, we were talking about non-hetero stuff once when studing (writting studies, one hour of lecture was for non-hetoro literature) and we are from Poland - country from a very polish-sounding-named Chopin was too, and like... Chopin was told to be one of people to have "same-sex romantic friendship" (romantic because of era "romantism", but like... do they hear themselfs?). Like seriously how is that even a term? How did they came up with this term? "And they had same-sex romantic friendship. Utterly platonic of course"
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

LUCKYYYY I WANT TO HAVE THAT KIND OF TEACHER!!!
sounds like best teacher ever
It has actually been confirmed by historians that they were lovers
your teacher must’ve been veri epic 😌
what if we were comrades in the trojan war? haha jk... unless?
I remember we were reading a story in history class and we were reading about two woman who were “best friends”, my history teacher literally said “And we all know they were more of lovers but historians suck so that’s not going to happen” and honestly that was amazing

Some historians are scared to "call them lovers" because of hate though. They are not all homophobic, just scared of death threats.
@@go-cm4rz I think it's more to do with making academic statements. See, even if every sign points to two historic people being lovers, unless they actually called each other that, we can't say it with 100% certainty - so even if subjectively you think "duh, they were gay", it's not something you can present as an objective fact if you don't have any hard evidence for it.
You could potentially suggest it as a _possibility_ at least, but even then, you'd have to word it carefully.
Academic circles are very strict about subjective statements, and that's probably why a lot of people use more general, objective terms. Can you prove with 100% certainty that they were lovers? No, likely not. But can you prove that they lived together? Yes. Sigh, roommates it is...
This isn't just the case for same sex couples, mind. In archaeology, we can always _speculate_ about the cultural aspects of a place or item, but presenting anything as a hard fact when you can't prove it is a slippery slope.
Academics are very strict like that. :'D
@@huntersden5119 Nobody cares about your opinion.
Fun fact because why the heck not: Emily Dickenson, a well-known poet from the Victorian Era, was secretly in love with a woman. Don't believe me? Look it up, it's such an interesting story!
wow yes! I love this story!
Her and Adrienne Rich are on the official English curriculum I have to study for my exams this year :)
Another fun fact: she's my distant relative and I never knew that. Ig history really does hate lovers :/
She was in love with Sue Gilbert. Sue loved her back they were my gay awakening. They made me feel like i belong Sue even married Emily's brother Austin so she would never be apart from Emily. If you like the too you should wach "dikinson" Hailie stinefeld is Emily and Ella Hunt is Sue. Awsome chemistry
Mary Shelley (got reminded bc it's whereabouts of the same time) was bi and so was her husband Percy Bysse Shelley and literally one of the reasons she wrote Frankenstein was because she got bored out of her skull when they ended up isolated in a beach house during a storm with a "family friend" and the friend's "friend", and her husband was too busy sleeping with said friend because he "didn't often get him to himself away from prying eyes" so she went "ok have fun I'll just be over here changing the history of literature for funsies" 😂😂😂😂😂
Btw the "friend" was Lord Byron lmaooo
As a Bi-woman who has a passion for queer history, this song slams me in the chest. I want to blast this to the world. I love how cheerful the song sounds but at the same time, damn does it just hit me like a semi-truck.

"Too many hand written letters signed to my dearest with love."
"To my dear Historia....
As I write this, Reiner is standing at my side. He knows that this is a love letter and yet he's still sneaking peeks. It's no wonder that creep's still single.
That said, he did give me his word that he'd deliver this letter to you. He says he owes me for the time I doubled back to save him.
I'm sorry about then... I never would have imagined choosing those two... Over you....
I'm going to die soon... But... I'll die without regrets.
Or that's what I'd like to say.
The truth is, I do have one.
*It's that I never got to marry you....*
With love...

PLEASE STOP IM BAWLING MY EYES NOW
YES I CRIED AT THAT SCENE
LITERALLY
PERFECT EXAMPLE AHHH I'M CRYING
STOPSTOPSTOP NO I THOUGHT I'VE ALREADY MOVED ON FROM THIS...
I love how the song says nothing about it being an lgbt relationship, we all just know it is.
That's cause this bullshit doesn't happen with straight relationships throughout history, never in my life have i seen anyone uniroically say a man and a woman were very close best friends. I'd say the opposite is more true, people tend to assume they were a couple with minimal evidence
Just perfect, am i right?
The song Is literally about a LGTB topic
@@user-sf7rk9wl9z
I-- yes...? But where in the song does it say so? It doesn't. We just infer it.

- Alexander Hamilton, to his best friend John Laurens.
"best friend"
@@entitledpussy1411 Obviously /s
@@Nau_ru didn't mean it in a rude way srry
@@entitledpussy1411 Oh no, don't worry! I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way either
Its actually confirmed that Alexander's son crossed out some parts of the letters between them before publishing them, wonder why.
A posible secret romantic relationship is also touched upon in Alexander Hamilton's biography (the one that inspired the creation of the Brodway musical), and i don't know if this is historically accurate ( don't remember if i read it on the internet or on the biography) but i think someone close to Hamilton used to call Laffayette, Laurens and Hamilton somethig along the lines of "the gay trio"
This song, this just reminds me of two very different things.
One.
Historically, Alexander Hamilton and John Laurence.
Alex LITERALLY said he didn't want to be married to a woman and wanted John.
Like. wHAT?
And then.
Fuckin Gravity Falls.
Thank god Alex Hirsch has made it very clear about Durland and Blubs.
Because DAMN DISNEY.

"They're just close"

"Cold in my professions, warm in my friendships" wasn't enough for fucking historians WTF, what a shame 😪

@@adrianaalves6655 Really?!?! Thank you!! ^w^
Add in Isabella of Prama and her sister-in-law. There are VERY EXPLICIT letters between the two. They were so clearly lovers!
That song reminds me of one of my French teachers. She didn't seem really comfortable explaining how Rimbaud and Verlaine (two of the most famous French writers) were a couple for years (it ended quite sadly but we stan a good gay couple that's recognized) and she was keeping her face down as she didn't want to see our faces while she was saying it 😂
ouais sauf que Verlaine était beaucoup plus vieux que Rimbaud c'était un peu zarb et en plus il lui a tiré dans la jambe ce bâtard.
moi c'était l'opposé complet. mon prof était hyper progressiste sur la question du coup on avait droit à la vie sentimentale complète de tous les auteurs.
du style, oui Marguerite Yourcenar et Grace Frick elle vivaient toutes les deux dans une petite maison aux US, Jean-Luc Lagarce il était gay et quand il a écrit "Juste la fin du monde" il venait de choper le sida et il croyait qu'il allait mourir.
et y en a plein d'autres...Marcel Proust dit dans son questionnaire qu'il aime chez les hommes les "charmes féminins" ;)
et Van Gogh qui a proposé à Gauguin qu'il vienne vivre avec lui quand il était dans la merde, puis après quand Gauguin s'est barré, Van Gogh a pété une crise et s'est coupé l'oreille...ça met la puce à l'oreille, sans mauvais jeu de mots.

My gf and I joke about being ‘gal pals’ and ‘close friends’ because we find it funny, as when we are together we are obviously _together_.
But I still call her ‘my friend’ when I’m talking to ppl I don’t really know. And every time it feels like I’m putting up a little shield to keep those people away, but in doing so I lose her in that version of me. It’s such a little thing, just four letter missing in front of the word ‘friend’. Dut in doing so, feels like a part of me and my life is missing.
I don’t want to lose her in any version of me. I love her in all of them. Even if history would hate us.
A sucky thing that an unfortunate number of queer people relate to.
i’m sorry this is so random but- this. this is so beautifully written and i didn’t expect to be on the verge of tears on a tuesday night at 12 am wtf
We must live in pride the love others lived in shame
“I don’t want to lose her in any version of me. I love her in all of them. Even if history would hate us.”

@@hetsteills2748 wtf? i'm also here on the verge of tears (aka weeping) on a tuesday night at 12 am :o
My dumbass was interpreting “those four words” to be best. Like best friends. And I was like “did you even hear the song??” Promptly realized the 4 letters are girl and I am stupid
I’m realizing how lucky i was with my highschool teachers, who (mostly) didn’t give two flying F*cks of historian’s hate of loving relationships, and just told us of most of the queer relationships, that they knew of.
Of course they couldn’t get away with everything. I remember when my literature teacher taught us the biography of Giacomo Leopardi, one of the most esteemed and respected poets of Italian Literature, and when she told us how he lived the last part of his life with the writer Antonio Ranieri, who took care of him and was his emotional support at the very end of his sickness, she told us “just remember that there still is a hot debate among historians about what exactly the nature of their “Friendship” was”, and she paused and gave us that look, that look that says “You know what I mean…”
Leopardi couldn't have been more bi if he'd trained for it like....
OMG IM ITALIAN AND HAD NO CLUE
WHY DON'T THEY WRITE THIS STUFF IN BOOKS ISTG I LIVE NEAR LEOPARDI'S HOMETOWN
@@sirmodstan5489 I think "why don't they write this stuff in books" is the whole point xD
I honestly think if Wilde hadn't gone out the way he did, they'd be talking about his "close friendship" with Bosie Douglas
DaVinci literally doodled d*cks in his sketchbooks and little comments about his model/lover (the one who posed for Saint John The Baptist) as well as various of his apprentices and apparently whether or not he was into men is "up for debate", too
"2 kids and a golden retriever" 😫😫 loved it
My favorite composer: -writes "love me as I love you" in a letter to his "friend"
-Starts a letter to said "friend" stating that the kiss he sent him comes from his heart
-states in the same letter that all the sirens (aka ladies who flirted with him) in the world doesn't really matter to him and all he cares about was for the continuation of him and the "friend" 's "friendship"
-Asks in the ending of a letter to the "friend" about his alleged marriage whether he still loves him or not, and vows that he (the composer) shall love the "friend" until his dying day
Historians: Ah yes, a completely heterosexual dude who's also a total Casanova.

“close friends, besties, roommates, colleagues anything but lovers” this part playing in my mind on repeat

during the WW II there were three Polish guys - Tadeusz Zawadzki - his nickname was Zośka, Jan Bytnar - nickname Rudy and Maciej Aleksy Dawidowski - nickname Alek. They were best friends. They were about 20 years old when they were fighting against the Nazis by for example recapturing the prisoners, taking off the Nazi flags or writing texts against them on the walls. But between two of them - Rudy and Zośka - there was a special relationship. Then the Nazis captured Rudy and tortured him to get the information about the organization he was in. He didn't say anything. The Nazis hurt him so badly that he was dying. Zośka visited him in the prison. Rudy was complaining about his pain, but in the same time he was saying how wonderful he was feeling. He said that they will travel to the countryside and live together while he would heal. Then he told Zośka to lie down next to him. He hugged his head and felt asleep.
Yeah, historians call them best friends.
Historians say that telling that they were in love is offending the memory about them.
History hates lovers...
Ok even if they were actually "only friends" the sentence "historians say that telling that they were in love is offending their memory" is so funny to me. Oh yes the most insulting thing in the world, saying that someone might have not been straight
Is there any confirmed info that they might not be besties, but in love? Or only denying?
Oh bless you for writing about them! It's an absolutely heartbreaking story
Didn’t they have girlfriends?
@@dr.petrov9630 Wilde had a wife, don't think that's much of a point
as someone who is deeply invested in history i love this, i can confirm that almost every historian will ignore the fact that two same sex "friends" are actually in love. btw this song is so damn catchy like i can't-
I love this song so much. I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT PATROCHILLES 💖💖💖
Same!! This song is for them!! Like clearly Achilles and Patroclus were mad lovers
I need other version of this but with: "And history will call them... enemies, foes, opponents"
YES THO
As a aspiring historian who's in school right now this song is my anthem.
LGBT+ history is something I'd love to research and publish about because of the historians brought up in the song.
We've evolved past the point where my peers need to keep things in the dark for any reason, and I'll be damned if I follow the path that these past historians traveled.
There are so many historical perspectives and relationships that we know about that fit their agenda, but there are way too many that are just too obviously gay to be ignored.
It's frustrating, but thankfully I'm not alone in trying to right the wrongs of ignorant historians.
Fantastic work with the song!

Achilles and Patroclus?
This song makes me think a lot about Alexander Hamilton and John Laurens, especially the part of "too many handwritten letters, signed to my dearest with love". If you have read the letters, you know what I'm talking about, if you haven't, I suggest you do and tell me if you agree with historians calling them "best buddies"
YOU CAN'T TELL ME THEY WEREN'T IN LOVE
I AGREE WITH THIS SO MUCH
Hamilton’s grandson (maybe great correct me if I’m wrong) call Lafayette, Lauren’s, and Hamilton the “gay trio” and everyone’s argument is that it means happy but the name happy trio? Doesn’t make sense to me.

Alexander Hamilton to John Laurens
"Cold in my professions, warm in my friendships, I wish, my dear Laurens, it might be in my power by action rather than words to convince you that I love you. I shall only tell you that till you bade us adieu, I hardly knew the value you taught my heart to set upon you. Indeed, my friend, it was not well done. You know the opinion I entertain of mankind and how much it is my desire to preserve myself free from particular attachments and to keep my happiness independent to the caprice of others. You should not have taken advantage of my sensibility to steal into my affections without consent. But as you have done it and as we are generally indulgent to those we love, I shall not scruple to pardon the fraud you have committed, on condition that for my sake, if not for your own, you will always continue to merit the partiality, which you have artfully instilled into me.”
Historians: Ah yes, bEsT FriENdS.

I LITERALLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS AND IT CAME OUT YESTERDAY AND I WAS RUSHING TO LOOK FOR THIS WHEN I REMEMBERED
I LOVE IT SO MUCH-
Whos
@@Cup_o_Caffeine i corrected it I hope now it makes more sense,I was rushing to write that because I needed to help my father with soemthing
George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Achilles, Patroclus, Sappho, and so many more needed to bee seen! I love this song so much!
@YVES well, it is possible that George Washington could've been gay. Of course, it'll be hard to know because of the same reason this song was made.
@YVES fair, I may have gotten my research wrong. There's a lot of suspiciously flowery personal letters.
One of my favourite examples of this was the tomb of the “brothers”! They are literally depicted in the same position that married couples were in on all the tomb paintings! And yet the historians are like “ah yes! Brothers!”
First thing coming up to my mind: Achilles and Patrochilles. Our teacher told us right away, that even though our text books say they were only friends and cousins, they were also lovers. And back then it was pretty common. Many other things controversial now, were normal back then. Why should we cover it up? Because it would piss off some people that can't accept the fact that love is love?
This is giving me so much Patroclus and Achilles vibes.. Also, all those LGBT couples from the Greek Era.. That was somehow revised to the morning tales.. Making them just friends..
This reminds me of the "friendship" between John Laurens and Alexander Hamilton because there is proof they did love each other
THIS!
When a man writes to another man saying “If I could marry you I would, but the law stands between us, my dearest, lover. How do you think about running away to a small remote island where there will only be two of us, please consider this my lover, I’m tired of hiding my love towards you around others. I don’t care about anyone else but you love. - Yours sincerely”
Historians: “sUcH cLoSe FRieNds”
When a man writes to a woman “dear”
Historians: LOVERS
"Cold in my professions- warm in my friendships- I wish, my Dear Laurens, it were in my power, by actions rather than words, to convince you that I love you. I shall only tell you that 'till you bade us Adieu, I hardly knew the value you had taught my heart to set upon you." - A bit of Alexander Hamilton's letter to John Laurens.
Historians: Naw bro, they were best friends!
YESS I WAS JUST ABT TO COMMENT ABT THEM !! also hamilton signing off letters to laurens w "yrs for ever" and writing to him while he was imprisoned, but sure they were just Very Close Friends
@@elidrawz8346 they had more intimacy then he had with the schuyler sisters because what he wanted from them was legacy.
"Alexander, you're the *closest friend* I got"
@YVES Sorry! I kind of just focused on the most popular bit people know-
And when you try and bring up the multiple accounts of evidence showing that they were clearly in love, people be like "WhY dO yOu HaVe To MaKe EvErYtHiNg GaY???"
Because that IS GAY! You can't tell me otherwise. If we see gay then it's gay. I will never understant people who think that we make everything gay cause'that is gay🏳️🌈
People living together, sleeping in the same bed, kissing, having kids etc.
Historians: "They were friends, good friends, acquaintances 😊👌"
~and historians will call them~
Close friends
Besties
Roomates
Colleagues
Anything but lovers,
history hates lovers
Sidekicks
Family
Good pals
Buddies
Anything but lovers
~history hates lovers~
This song:
Future historians: Yes yes, a very hetero song about very hetero people, obviously
Obviously about interracial straight couples suffering from discriminate
Historical couples that were writted as "friends" here.
I start:
Gabriela Mistral and Doris Dana
Hamilton and Laurens
achilles and patroclus
Alexander the great and Hephaestion
@@user-qi2wi8uy9h I was gonna say that how dare you-
eren and floch
i wanna become a historian basically to change this...
I'm French and in my textbook it was written that Rimbaud and Verlaine had a "passionate friendship" and my teacher told us they weren't friends but lovers-
But I think their couple is one of the most recognised gay couple of history (in another textbook it was clear they weren't just friends it was written that they had a passionate relation but the words couple or lovers were never written)
I love those gay people
Historical Alexander Hamilton and John Laurence that’s all I gotta says
This song makes me want to be a historian just so I can know the truth about all the "close friends"
It's honestly not that difficult-
I mean, as aa Historian this song feels almost like an attack on me, but I am one of a kind and will admit that honosexuals existed before the 1960's.
Historians will always try to hide the gay historic relationships, but for Apollo from Greek Mythology… they can’t even, he was such a raging bisexual that they practically don’t even try to cover it up
The entire Greek history is gay and they don't even try to hide it
They can't cover it up he's too gay
They did try tho 😂😂
Yeah cause him and Hyacinthus were just “really good friends”
“with whom I am more in love than ever”
“My God, what an angelic creature and how I long to be his slave, his plaything, his property!
”My rendezvous had been arranged for this evening. A truly bitter-sweet dilemma! Finally I decided to go. I spent two absolutely wonderful hours in the most romantic circumstances; I was scared, I was thrilled, I was afraid of the slightest sound. Embraces, kisses, an out-of-the-way apartment… tender talk, what delight!”
-Tchaikovsky
EXCUSE ME????
"how I long to be his slave"
damn, I didn't know Tchaikovsky was this... kin-
@@sachsoup omg i didnt even notice that 😭😭😭😭
@@sachsoup and plaything and property, too!
kInkYyy
Reminds me of an argument I had with my history teacher about a dude being gay because normal freinds don't wanna have their ashes mixed
As a Historian, some of us are trying to change this!
I'm so happy that the complete song _came out_
As a Hamilton fan, I recently found out that Ham and Laurens were apparently more than just friends.
They're just friends (sarcastic)
As a historian, I can say that I 100% do NOT hate lovers. I do annoy my colleagues a bit though because I may or may not have a bit of hair trigger for saying “or MAYBE they were lovers have we thought of that yet?!” You would be SHOCKED how many historical documents heavily hint at close close relationships that COULD very well be lovers and it’s immediately dismissed.
They both loved eachother. She wanted to protect her from this cruel world. She joined the Survey Corps just for her, after all. The girl with royal blood.
She didn't expect to fall in love with her though. She was like a goddess. Everyone loved her.
She never told her how she felt. All she did was make jokes about marrying her. At least, everyone saw them as jokes.
Eventually... Everything came to an end when she picked the wrong side and they were forced apart. She had little time to live. So she wrote a letter as a final goodbye... Saying how she regretted that she never married her.
And so, the tale of the girl with royal blood and her protector ended in a tragedy.
Because Historians hate lovers.
Why must you do this? That hurted.
@@loki1456 Sorry 😭😭 I also wanted to do an Eremika version-
@@aruxani DO IT PLEASE
@@tiya8431 I might 👀
Hamilton: writes s3xual, romantic things to John Laurens as a married man.
Historians: oh they're just best friends!
Also Hamilton: Puts a comma in a phrase to Angelica
Historians: 😨😨😨
**achilles and Patroclus jamming this song in chiron's cave**
I have feelings for you
I have feelings.....for you
THE FEELING WAS FRIENDSHIP
BUT NEITHER OF THEM HAVE EXPERIENCED IT
Historians: right! He wrote a letter once to a woman.. Theyre inlove!
Hamilton: literally describes how he loves John Laurens.
Historians: and they're best friends 😊😊
This is really making me wonder how many beautiful love stories history has forgotten because certain people deemed them wrong
"The kiss I send you comes from my heart... All the sirens in the world may go to the devil. All I care for is the continuance of your friendship."
"Although I miss your companionship, you sent me such a dear and charming letter, that not content with reading it myself, I enlivened a brilliant conversation with extracts from it."
"Let me soon have the joy of clasping you to my heart. I have so many things to say to you that will give you pleasure. Love me as I love you."
"How are you, mio caro? Do you still love me? I shall love you till my dying day."
"Times are not too auspicious, but life is too short. It bids us not to waste it. Heaven send that I may see you again before I die."
"Do not cease to love me. I live only for you and for my son."
"If I return home and live near you, I shall prolong my days."
"Without you I am a body without a soul."
"Come post haste. I am in need of your comfort."
"I hope to live many more years and to have the happiness of embracing you again-a consolation which may almost be compared to the bliss of lovely and genuine music."
"I beseech you to love me."
"Never stop loving me. I cannot tell you what a comfort your letter was.[...] I embrace you tenderly."

Achilles: Mingle our ashes when I’m dead
Patroclus: *Fights in Achilles’s armor and acts as him in order to keep his status up*
Historians: yes BESTIES 😍
Hollywood: THATS WHAT ID DO WITH MY CoUSin TOO😍😍☝️☝️☝️
Artemis: only inside my temple are ONLY WOMEN aloud and virgins too… Virgin women
Historians: yup Artemis is straight 😍☝️
Artemis and hestia de Ace Queens :3
Artemis is the ace queen we all need sometimes
This has got to be one of the best songs I’ve ever heard, by far. I cannot explain how much this song means to me, as a queer trans man :]
"Do you want to be close friends, in a historical way" is now the best way to flirt with someone
Historians: Sappho was simply writing about her students and the _platonic_ love she felt for them!
Us: “THEIR IS NO HETEROSEXUAL EXPLANATION FOR THIS!”
This song just makes me so so sad to think of how many lovers are buried away from each other because no one wanted to see them as more than just good friends and now they’re separated forever
the way she says colleagues makes my brain go watery, i love it sm
This song is amazing
i fell inlove with this girl at school during a school production we were in and i told my mum and she just said "it was just the heat of the stage, and what about that boy you met?" I NEVER LIKD HIM BRUH
I love how many people said Alexander Hamilton and John Lauren’s
As a historian, I can say that indeed, we don't actually call people who are in love "lovers". Especially, when love for them is forbidden.
May I ask why that is?
@@jeff4762 what forbidden means? It's when u are not allowed to have something. In this case, maybe the people we are talking about are the same gender, or from different families that are currently at war
@@stuartwilliams3206 Ah, that makes sense! Thanks for clearing that up.
Even If those people are long dead?
@@sleepydreams9046 in what way for u mean?
i heard the chorus in a meme and came to the song and damn this hits way harder than i expected i think i might cry
I think the best thing about this is the fact that it isn't explicitly gay. To me, that just makes it feel more honest and treats these relationships like what they are, real love between two people.
Also, I can just see some homophobe singing this thinking it's some Romeo and Juliette story.
That last bit would be funny
I come back to this song when I feel horrible about the state of the USA, and cry. I hope ANYONE being effected by these new laws against the LGBTQA+ community stays safe and know even though the government wants to erase you, you will never be silenced and you are loved by many people who will support you.
Es increíble el arte que hace, no solo la canción de banana fish, sino está y las demás de su canal, espero que sigas creciendo ❤️
De qué? 👁💧👄💧👁
Banana Fish? 🥲💔
Did Google Translate goof up or did this amazing songwriter write a song about banana fish?
@@lapinatadelafiesta hizo una canción que Eiji le dedicaba a Ash
@@cadennemcdaris788 Google has not been wrong, I really create one and it is impressive
This song is LITERALLY about Alexander Hamilton And john laurens relationship and NO ONE will tell me otherwise!!!!!
Bro this is exactly what I thought
it's abt many major gay couples in history's relationship
"he is half my soul, as the poets say."
Can you please tell me where this quote is from? I’d love to do research on it.
@@MinisDunyasi5 hi! this quote is from a book called "the song of achilles" by madeline miller
@@cam6230 Thank you!
HELL NAH DUDE THAT SHIT MAKES ME CRY-
I was listening to this nonstop in history class and almost cried. Definitely one of my new favorite songs.
Yep, kissed in public, must be friends.
During pride month this will blasted on my lgbtq+ playlist to the whole world!
