βMen / Donβt feel like one of them,β Welsh singer/songwriter DONT MAKE THIS WEIRD sings on their brief but telling single, βmenβ.Β Despite not feeling like a man, they continue, βBut I want βem / Lord knows, I want βem.βΒ On this brief but stunning piano ballad, DONT MAKE THIS WEIRD sings expressively with great authenticity.Β Their vocals are tender and moving.Β These lyrics seem to address lacking masculinity yet fulfilling it through the desire of a male partner.Β DONT MAKE THIS WEIRD penned βmenβ while Oscar Moos produced it.
Despite its brevity, βmenβ is deep.Β There is no lack of depth or opportunity to reflect. βIs it irony? / To worship gods I donβt believe,β DONT MAKE THIS WEIRD sings, likening men to gods while also speaking to the slippery slope of religion and, likely, men themselves.Β Still, like many men who desire and sleep with men, itβs a special experience: βTo feel free when heβs on top of me / Leaving church with bruised knees.β Why are they leaving the church with bruised knees? It could be because of various reasons β use your imagination in some cases. DONT MAKE THIS WEIRD still has questions about who they are (βHowβd I become a thing / Donβt understandβ) but acknowledges, βIβm a man, Iβm a man.β Interestingly, DONT MAKE THIS WEIRD mentions the lack of a dad, hence daddy issues, which contributes to all the things swirling around their mind on βmenβ. This song is a jam-packed, βcanβt missβ Β one-minute-and-change.
