12. Song "Same Love" (23.11.14)

Ich möchte euch heute einen Song vorstellen, den ich als sehr wichtig erachte. Er hat eine wirklich wichtige Botschaft, die so langsam endlich mal jeder von uns verinnerlichen sollte! Und zwar geht es heute um den Song

Same Love von Macklemore

Das Lied ist wirklich großartig und wie schon oben erwähnt, hat er eine wichtige Message. Macklemore sagt in diesem Song, dass man sich seine Sexualität nicht aussucht und das es keinen Unterschied macht. Man sucht es sich nicht aus und man kann es auch nicht verändern und das Wichtigste: MAN MUSS ES AUCH NICHT! 

Es ist egal, ob man schwul oder lesbisch oder bi oder asexuell ist. Man bleibt der gleiche Mensch und Liebe ist Liebe. Und vielleicht wird jetzt ein mancher von euch sagen: "Warum regt die sich so auf? Homosexuelle haben doch die gleichen Rechte wie Heteros. Sie sind doch inzwischen akzeptiert in der Gesellschaft." 

Nein, so ist es aber nicht. Allein, dass das Wort "schwul" noch immer als Schimpfwort gebraucht wird, zeigt wie intolerant die Gesellschaft noch immer ist. Oder das Homosexuelle nicht heiraten dürfen. Oder keine Kinder adoptieren dürfen. Oder kein Blut spenden dürfen. Könnt ihr euch das vorstellen? Homosexuelle Menschen dürfen kein Blut spenden. Da frag ich mich wirklich, in was für einer Gesellschaft leben wir eigentlich? Macht euch darüber mal Gedanken! 

Hier noch der Songtext: 

When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay 
'Cause I could draw, my uncle was, and I kept my room straight 
I told my mom tears rushing down my face 
She's like "Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k tripping, " 
Yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she? 
Bunch of stereotypes all in my head. 
I remember doing the math like, "Yeah, I'm good at little league" 
A preconceived idea of what it all meant 
For those that liked the same sex 
Had the characteristics 
The right wing conservatives think it's a decision 
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion 
Man-made rewiring of a predisposition 
Playing God, aw nah here we go 
America the brave still fears what we don't know 
And God loves all his children, is somehow forgotten 
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago 
I don't know

And I can't change 
Even if I tried 
Even if I wanted to 
I can't change 
Even if I try 
Even if I wanted to 
My love 
My love 
My love 
She keeps me warm 
She keeps me warm 
She keeps me warm 
She keeps me warm

If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me 
Have you read the YouTube comments lately? 
"Man, that's gay" gets dropped on the daily 
We become so numb to what we're saying 
A culture founded from oppression 
Yet we don't have acceptance for 'em 
Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board 
A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it 
Gay is synonymous with the lesser 
It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion 
Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment 
The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins 
It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference! 
Live on and be yourself 
When I was at church they taught me something else 
If you preach hate at the service those words aren't anointed 
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned 
When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless 
Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen 
I might not be the same, but that's not important 
No freedom till we're equal, damn right I support it

(I don't know)

And I can't change 
Even if I tried 
Even if I wanted to 
My love 
My love 
My love 
She keeps me warm 
She keeps me warm 
She keeps me warm 
She keeps me warm

We press play, don't press pause 
Progress, march on 
With the veil over our eyes 
We turn our back on the cause 
Till the day that my uncles can be united by law 
When kids are walking 'round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart 
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are 
And a certificate on paper isn't gonna solve it all 
But it's a damn good place to start 
No law is gonna change us 
We have to change us 
Whatever God you believe in 
We come from the same one 
Strip away the fear 
Underneath it's all the same love 
About time that we raised up

And I can't change 
Even if I tried 
Even if I wanted to 
I can't change 
Even if I try 
Even if I wanted to 
My love 
My love 
My love 
She keeps me warm 
She keeps me warm 
She keeps me warm 
She keeps me warm 
Love is patient 
Love is kind 
Love is patient 
Love is kind 
(I'm not crying on Sundays) 
Love is patient 
(I'm not crying on Sundays) 
Love is kind 
(I'm not crying on Sundays) 
Love is patient 
(I'm not crying on Sundays) 
Love is kind 
(I'm not crying on Sundays) 
Love is patient 
(I'm not crying on Sundays) 
Love is kind 
(I'm not crying on Sundays) 
Love is patient 
Love is kind
