Jude York, All I See Is Him | LGBTQ Bopz 🌈🎶

In the 25^th edition of LGBTQ Bopz 🌈🎶 (2023), we highlight the song, “All I See Is Him” performed by Australian pop artist, Jude York.  

Be prepared to #SLAY! LGBTQ Bopz 🌈🎶 embraces, highlights, and celebrates singles and tracks by LGBTQIA musicians or allies.  In this column, we provide background and insight into the respective musician(s), as well as analyze + go gaga over the decadent bops being served up.  Furthermore, when the music dictates deeper, more transcendent discussion, we ensure the point is articulated to the fullest.  All styles of music are welcome while the BOPZ can be classics or brand-spanking new. So, without further ado, in the 25^th edition of LGBTQ Bopz 🌈🎶 (2023), we highlight 🎵 “All I See Is Him” performed by 🎙 Jude York.

“Everybody sees him as a million things / But all I see is him.” Sigh, how beautiful, 🎙 Jude York. Furthermore, it is clear that this boy is special to the Australian pop artist.  The expression and nuance that York sings with on 🎵 “All I See Is Him” is fitting given his ode to this special individual.  For some context, “All I See Is Him” marks York’s second appearance on LGBTQ Bopz 🌈🎶 in 2023.  Sure, Pride month has expired, but those bops – expanding the catalog of LGBTQ songs – never stops.  “All I See Is Him” is a stellar follow up with York’s first entry in the column, 🎵 “Mr Porcelain”. 

This boy that Jude sings about on “All I See Is Him” is viewed as ‘many things’ by others. However, it is how special he is to Jude that matters. York perfectly paints a gay boy fantasy: “He’s every torso on the sand / He’s every daydream in slow motion that I’ve ever had.” Still, the moments that resonate the most are dedicated and sentimental. Perhaps it’s still partial fantasy, but the at end of the first verse, it sounds incredibly sweet when Jude sings, “And, as he drifts off in the ocean, he whispers my name.” More colorful and realistic is the second verse, where the boyfriend’s flaws and idiosyncrasies endear him to York.  “He’s like drunk dancing in the rain,” he sings at the end of the second verse, “‘Cause, when his laugh makes me dizzy, it heals all the pain.”  Of course, it is the chorus that is the centerpiece, where #Relationship Goals arrive in all their glory:

“When he holds me

Wrapped in our bed sheets

Nobody else sees

But he’s got a piece of me

And he knows it

The way he juxtaposes

Everybody sees him as a million things

But all I see is him.”

Honestly, listening to 🎵 “All I See Is Him” makes me want to find love – oh, the feels, the feels, the feels.  Makes sense, given the fact that Jude York penned this as a gay wedding song. And, it doesn’t matter the type of feels – LOVE IS LOVE, BABY! Jude shines, once again!
