Today, I discovered that one of my favourite, relatable sad songs is actually a song about gay sex. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend wrote a song for me. As he was singing it to me I realized it was actually a breakup song. FML
Today, I found out that the very good-looking woman who sings for one of my favorite bands is actually a guy. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years, who is a fabulous guitarist and singer, told me he wrote me a song. I was so excited. Turns out it was a break up song. FML
Today, my love life is so godawful that I started ugly-crying when the song "Love Hurts" began playing on the radio while I was driving. I had to pull over. Several people passing by stopped to see if I needed help. FML
Today, a friend sent me a song. I didn't have time to listen to it all, so I listened to the first 30 seconds of it to get a feel for it. It was nice and uplifting, so I sent it to my mom. Turns out, after the first 30 seconds, the singer brightens his day by singing about his enormous penis. FML
Today, I found out the reason my crush has been talking so openly to me. Not because she likes me back, but because she thinks I'm gay. FML
Today, I discovered the importance of having sex before marriage. We found out that my husband is gay on our wedding night. FML
Today, I learned that the girl I love thinks I'm gay. To be honest, I'm having doubts too. FML
Today, out of pure boredom, I decided to listen to the soundtrack from a musical. When I got to the love song, I thought about my anxiety and where I stood with this one guy, and ended up crying to myself. The musical was Jesus Christ Superstar. FML
Today, I phoned my ex, who I only broke up with a week ago. I then told her about the song I'd written about her. I have written a song, but it's shite and I would die of embarrassment if I ever had to play it to her. I’ll have to play it to her and confess my simpy, wet ways. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If it helped you feel better, why worry about what the artist meant.

So? One of my favourite songs (alive by Pearl Jam) is about incest. Doesn't mean I want to do my family.

So what gay people can't be sad

I don't think OP meant it that way, I think it's more of a FML bc the song didn't mean what OP thought it did. I went to HS with a girl who was devastated when we told her Meatloaf's "I will do anything for love" was not a song about abstinence.

what type of gay people are you talking about? Might not be as offrnsive as some people think. Because technically you aren't wrong if you mean gay people when using gay as meaning happy. As that was the first definition of the word.

wait. you are missing a question mark aren't you? if so, my bad, ignore my previous comment.

So what if the song is about gay people? You don't have to be gay to enjoy it. Hell, I listen to songs in other languages and can't understand a word, but I still enjoy listening to them. The point being, if it's a good song and you feel like you can vibe with it, the rest shouldn't matter. And if a song you related to being written about gay people is really the biggest thing you can complain about, you must have a pretty good life. Also it kinda makes you sound like a bigot for posting an FML about it, because it leaves the implication that the "gay" part is what's bugging you about it. But that's not my place to assume.

I think it's more that the song's about sex than it is that it's about gay people. Granted, they didn't have to specify, but I didn't get the feeling there was any homophobia in the post. They're just disappointed it's about sex and not sadness.

Fair point, but all the same, my original point still stands. You can make your own meaning out of it. There are ways to enjoy a song without having to know or acknowledge what it's about.

Songs can be about both.
