Isn't "nowhere to grow old" just the saddest lyric in the whole damn melancholy song? That's what I've seen again and again when gay people talk, in columns or in youtube vids, about their feelings growing up as second class citizens. That somehow the picture of the future that all young people are taught to imagine--home, family, etc--is inaccessible. That image of "growing old together" that we hang on to--they talk about being forced to live without it. (The piece by Andrew Sullivan that LindaG23 posted in the social action thread is a very good example of this meme.) That's why that line from the song really hit me--such a sad and simple way to say it...

Yes, MWP. That's the line that hit me the most. It made me think of the kids committing suicide because they feel they have no future. It made me think of the fact that Adam lives this every damn day, even though he stays positive. I don't know how he does it...
It also made me realize why we, his fans, are so fiercely devoted to him.

Have you heard Adam Lambert’s BRAND-NEW song yet? I have. And you can hear it too if you click! t.co/A7AkyzL

The ending to Lyndsey's column:

Adam could definitely take this song the straightahead adult-pop route (a la his biggest hit, "Whataya Want From Me"), but of course I am excitedly imagining a bombastic recording that turns it into a full-blown, wind-blown power ballad (a la my favorite Lambert B-side, the epic "Can't Let You Go"). In fact, some of "Outlaws Of Love's" lyrics almost have an '80s stadium-ballad feel to them...and I mean that in the best possible way. .

But no matter what, I'm sure Adam will be singing this song in stadiums--hopefully ones in the States--soon enough!
