HEAVEN

HEAVEN is a stunning song by Troye Sivan from his album blue neighbourhood (so go listen to it now please). The song acknowledges the feelings and inner conflict many members of the LGBTQ+ community feel due to things like uncertainty, internalized homophobia (within themselves, society and religion) and the inner process they have to go through in order to fully accept themselves for who they are. HEAVEN is an emotional queer anthem to scream out loud and (as also seen in the music video) acknowledge the journey and fights the community have gone through and are still going through today. The song is about truth and love and the expressive, deeply honest, personal lyrics ring true to what so many people are feeling but can't put to words or aren't allowed to say. Even though you can hear the pain in the lyrics due to things like heteronormativity, homophobia in religion and the fear of not being accepted, the lyrics outline a a larger importance. This importance is the knowing that love is love, valid and not wrong in any way, and how we truly feel is a fundamental and unchangeable part of who we are. GO THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY AND THANK YOU TROYE FOR THIS ANTHEM AND EMOTIONAL BOP!!!!!!!!

"Without losing a piece of me
How do I get to HEAVEN?
Without changing a part of me
How do I get to HEAVEN?"
