Poly friendly music?
Don't you hate it when you flip the car radio on and you're happily singing along to some upbeat song about being in love, and then it hits a line about "only you" or "you're the one"?
I'm guessing there's a scarcity of music with lines like "When you give me time to love him too, my love for you grows," but does anyone have favorite love songs that a a poly gal in love can sing wholeheartedly? I don't think Pandora can make a poly love song station... |
I kissed a girl? (and I think I liked it...I hope my boyfriend don't mind it)
(katy perry) Those lyrics are good, but the song overall, not so much. I remember being totally flopswoggled the first time I heard it. |
Poly Songs
My favorite poly song is "My Boyfriend's Girlfriend Isn't Me" by Must Be Tuesday - always turn it up loud when it comes around on my MP3 mix that MrS made for me = not really a love song though. (In my mind it's the polyamory "Theme Song" :D)
(ETA - NOT the same song as "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend Isn't Me" by Autograph, which may be a fine song for those who enjoy music that I can't understand the words to...) I also like Jane's Addiction "Three Days" - more of a sex song than a love song though... |
More...
Now you've got me started...exploring poly music - I see my afternoon wasting away...
The Roches - "You're the Two" You're the two that I want You're the two that I want Some girls'll settle for just one They don't know what they're missin' they ain't havin' any fun You're the two that I want Jane told Betty she saw me last night She had her socks shocked off but she was tryin' to be polite We were arm in arm in arm and that just didn't seem right I was walkin' with my babies in my high heel shoes Havin' so much fun I nearly lost my blues You're the two that I want He's a big strong boy he can bust out of chains Says what he means he don't play no games But you what you're missin' in muscle you make up for in brains Between you two I got my two hands full I got one to push and another one to pull Two that I want I can't believe this is happenin' to me I'm just about as happy as a girl can be With all this lovin' I feel wild and free Maybe I should press my luck and try for three :D |
Yeah, I love the lyrics of this song by Olivia Newton John. Wonder why it was never popular ;):
Oh, I know it's unconventional, It's radical but practical. I don't want to lose you. No, but I'm not gonna give him up! No! It's a culture shock But it's the only hope we've got! Tell me, why can't the three of us live together? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuULcaAypnA By the way, we already have a thread where poly songs, stories, etc. are listed. Go here: polyamory in movies/music/art? and here: poly music |

Snake River Conspiracy - You and Your Friend
"Must we go run through our lives with our eyes closed To the loving happiness that we can share I think I'm in love with you and your friend Honest I do, I can't see you and me and her without each other And I hope you feel the same way too (you and me and her)" |
Can't believe nobody has quoted Leonard Cohen yet.
Not a "poly" song except maybe in implication, but definitely a sweet tune about an even more taboo form of sex, the adult-youth variety... "People Do it All the Time" Fragile, rare occasion Out of chaos, a creation Binding into one form Lucid drunkenness Aiming, truth and openness Baby, you are a joy I want you free when you grow, boy Revive the old idea That we carry. Binding into one form Lucid drunkenness Nothing less than truth and openness Nothing less but truth and openness Baby, you are a joy I want you free when you grow, boy Revive the old idea That we carry. -Stereolab |
