Theme & Lyrics

Bitmoji Image “Hold my body / Never let me go.” Woo! It’s entirely possible that I’ve taken a fancy for Hamid J – just saying. Yes, the LGBTQ Iran originating, Germany raised, Los Angeles based musician is handsome (duh), but what I most fancy is his music. In the previous edition of LGBTQ Bopz , we (I) raved about his ‘cakes’ – his “Boulangerie”, of course . This round, he’s more proactive, continuing to make us feel some type of way on an earlier 2021 single, “Hold My Body”. Surely the man didn’t think that we wouldn’t take him up on his offer ! Hey, might as well play into the thirst!

Bitmoji Image Hamid J sends his boyfriend (or love interest) an ultimatum on “Hold My Body.” “You been dragging me along for weeks, and it feels like you been searching to find,” he sings in the first verse. Hmm, sounds like a case of indecisiveness! In the second verse, he tells this boy to get his ‘sugar honey iced tea’ together – “You gotta trust the plan / Cuz somebody else may slide in /… So boy, don’t be insecure!” Tell him Hamid! The cure for the miscues this boy’s been committing against my boy, Hamid – intimacy and all it entails. The chorus sums up what he yearns while the pre-chorus, over this groovy, seductive production, lays it out:

“Show how about tonight

You come over make things right

We start with a drink or two

Put us both in the mood

I’ve been yearning all your touches

Caress my body and watch this

Desert with no rain

Spark and burst into flames.”

Damn – that’s lit!

Final Thoughts

Bitmoji Image So, do you understand why I’m falling in love with Hamid J ? It’s the music, in all its suggestive glory! There’s clearly a personal problem that he’s experiencing with a man who is indecisive about the state of their relationship or whatever it is, but more interesting is imagining the resolution . Like “Boulangerie”, “Hold My Body” is firmly planted in LGBTQ soundtrack (the music Video provides further confirmation), but the theme should be relatable to folks of all walks of life. Intimacy can be therapeutic – NO CAP!
