'TC and Honeybear' from John Grant - Song about getting pozzed


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

This song has always reminded me of the process of falling in love with a poz guy, then getting infected, then loosing your partner to death.

The song is around 3 years old and it's a beautiful song. John Grant is a gay american singer and recently, about a year ago, he confirmed he is HIV +

The lyrics go like this:

For TC and his Honeybear, the world will not stop moving,

For rendezvous and longing stares and hearts that won't stop burning.

Before that Honeybear had given up. He felt so sad and lonely.

Then one night he looked up and he saw, he saw his one and only

When TC came onto the scene, he entered in on golden wings,

And with him he brought butterflies, of crimson red and emerald green.

'Cause before TC, Honeybear was waiting, was waiting for him patiently.

TC took his fears away, became his one and only.

The world came crashing down on them with all of its ferocity,

And Honeybear was terrified. He said, "Do not take him; take me."

Before that, Honeybear had given up. He felt so sad and lonely.

Then one night he looked up and he saw, he saw his one and only.

And he said, "Please don't take him 'cause I love him. He's my joy and my life."

For my love I won't hesitate.

I will give him all that his heart can take,

And I'll trust him fearlessly.

I want him to be free.

It's unusual for me to feel much attraction for professional musicians (even though I'm a pretty big music lover in my own way), but Grant is one of the very, very few exceptions, possibly a minority of one. It doesn't hurt that many of his life experiences have mirrored my own. He's not just physically attractive, but has a beautiful soul too. Or at least that's the impression I get.

I saw John perform here in DC in a small venue a few weeks ago. Yes, he is a good looking man and, yes, he does talk about having HIV. Nice to see a reaction of support from the crowd. It was a pleasure to see his concert!
