Sam Smith lanzó el video de su canción “Lay Me Down” la cual originalmente trata del sentimiento de perdida de un ser amado, sin embargo, en el video trata otra temática junto con la de la perdida, que es la del derecho al matrimonio gay.
El cantante británico es abiertamente homosexual y ha utilizado parejas heterosexuales en sus videos, ya que opina que sus canciones son para todos, sin embargo esta vez decidió utilizar el tono melancólico para tocar el tema del derecho al matrimonio homosexual en la iglesia.
A continuación te presentamos la letra de “Lay Me Down“.
Yes, I do, I believe
That one day I will be where I was
Right there, right next to you
And it’s hard, the days just seem so dark
The moon, the stars are nothing without you
Your touch, your skin,
Where do I begin?
No words can explain the way Im missing you
Deny this emptiness, this hole that Im inside
These tears, they tell their own story
You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feelings overwhelming, they’re much too strong
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure youre alright?
Ill take care of you,
And I dont want to be here if I cant be with you tonight
Im reaching out to you
Can you hear my call? (who’s to say you won’t hear me?)
This hurt that Ive been through
Im missing you, missing you like crazy
You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feelings overwhelming, they’re much too strong
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure youre alright?
Ill take care of you
And I dont wanna be here if I cant be with you tonight
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure youre alright?
Ill take care of you
And I dont wanna be here if I cant be with you tonight
