Jay Brannan - Beautifully Lyrics

One of the first songs I listened to by a gay singer, brings back memories

Oooh i spend along time looking for this song ilove it

Why is she sleeping with perfect makeup and earrings on?

whos the actress

so he is the master of serpents

What are these lyrics?

Everything I needed at some of the hardest parts of my life.

This video reminds me Taylor Swifts video Wildest Dreams

Who is the girl actress?

Love this song.  She's such a pretty lady with a beautiful smile.  Feel sorry for her.  This is a very well crafted song with great lyrics, production, singing - the works.  Jay did a great job here.

the lyrics are simply amazing, the singing is wonderful, the video is just perfect for this song, the actors emotions come across almost painfully well ... I don't understand why this doesn't have millions of views.

It's been years, and I still love this song like it's the first time I'm hearing it.

Where are the views?

its right under were it say official music video

+Coty Bussing I meant why arnt there more haha

+RelaxConnor o well I was just pointing them out lol 400,000+ views is a good amount but needs more thin that

+Coty Bussing I know right?

+RelaxConnor wish my phone would play it all the way tho keeps freezing up LG sucks ass

this is my favorite song, and I am very picky about my music(:

Not enough views

This doesn't have nearly enough views. 

I think this song is about how she treated him...she was beautiful...he loved her greatly...but how she treated him wasn't beautiful.

No baby the song is about his best friend (hag) and she fell in love with him and got a little crazy about it too im happy you started listening to Jay Brannan :) love you

This is still my fave! Amazing!

Jay is gay LOL but that's not the point haha

So cool it is.

You must have been through a lot in your life, the emotions you put in your songs are just... I feel them so badly <3

Always a good cheer me up :P Great voice ! ~--~

I was thinking the guy she was acting with was gay and thats why she "wasnt beautiful to him"

i was thinking that as well :-)

That's technically what the song is about, he wrote it about a female friend of his that was in love with him. I wish he would have shown that in the music video..

We year rok5

@Derek Phillips I kind of like that he didn't go that route with the video. It made it more surprising that he wasn't (presumably, could've been bi, you'll never know). And, also, sometimes people just aren't into other people, even if they're attracted to that gender. Although the phrasing of that line sounds harsher in that context.

Great Video!

I am your fan now!!!

Still love his music, but I will never think of him the same way after seeing Shortbus. Not that I think of him in a negative way at all, but still. Once you've seen someone have the national anthem sung into their ass, there's only so many ways you can think of someone.

reminds me of The Picture of Dorian Gray

Because if he wasn't gay this song could possibly come off as incredibly offensive LOL. I mean lets think about it some girl is like "i love you" and he's like "nah its not that you're not beautiful you're just not beautiful to me". What does that even mean if you're not gay? I don't think you're pretty enough for me? Anyway that's just my 2 cents! have a nice day everyone.

i remember when this guy was just doing songs in his bedroom, i'm super glad that he made it.

This song always gets stuck in my head! Usually my brains only choose shitty songs to stay in my head all day lng but i guess he picked a great one this time!! love it

I'm a FAN..........big time!

Cried... everywhere

This song is about friendzoning..

I love this song without the background sound.

one of my favorites of his, though like others I loved the rawness of his toilet session videos

Wow.. what a piece of shit you are.

This song still breaks my heart into a million pieces. It's been years since I heard it while recovering from a horrible break up, and it still just hits hard.

This song is so lovely. One of my all time favorites. I got the lyrics "How beautiful do I have to be?" tattooed on me

I just realized Stevie Nelson played the blonde actress. awfl;ajwefkl;aw

Never let people put you down for who you are. No matter how strong they think they are, they aren't a tenth as strong as it takes to be open about being homosexual.

you are, blind. I hope in 9 months you were able to open your eyes.

the whole concept with his lyrics is that they actually am not about any straight relationships, that's what makes him so wonderful and brave within the music industry

His face at 0:37

From the song, it made it sound like he was gay. Mostly the car part when the "song about Memphis" was playing on the radio.

Love love love.

anyone else reminded of Perfect Blue?

atta boy

This is the cutest song! And hey, guys, shut up and watch the f***ing video!

I love the love triangle/square going on! This music video put a new perspective on the song for me.

Great song and great video!

I don't understand why everyone has to talk about him bring gay, and how this is nothing like what he does.. Why can't you all just enjoy the freaking song? Makes me sick :/

Good song

unrequited love...

I remember the time you were singing your song sitting on a toilett :-) That's so much better! I wish you all the best!

i think the video would have been so much better if the guy was gay.

That Was My First Thought.

Michael Scolfield is that you?

Can you please give me the guitar chords/tabs ? I really wanna play this on guitar :)

this is a mashup? with what other song? ive heard a different one version of this song that isn't as edited as this one and yes that one is better in comparison to this one. i do think, however, that this version serves its purpose in the video better

Why did they use this horrible butchered sounding mashup song?!?!

The original is so much better.. this is awful.

Nice voice!!! :)

I agree

Beautiful music Jay. Just beautiful. :)

This is how I feel right now. How am I hung up on someone that doesn't care about me?

this describes my love life in a nut shell.

Didn't Terra Naomi write this song? She has the song writing credits on several of the lyric sites...

It freaks with my mind to think that the director in this video is actually an actor being directed by a real director.

I love this song. LOVE IT.

Oh my Gosh I wanna marry his voice!! I live him sooooo much!!

I can so get totally lost in this song...it's truly beautiful...

The blonde girl & the guy are acting as lovers in a movie. The blonde girl likes the guy, but as we find out in the end, he has a girlfriend, so the blonde girl is left heartbroken.

Okay, the video (though unrelated to the original meaning of the song, IMHO) is that an actor and actress are working on a film together as a couple. The actress starts to fall for the actor, though he has a girlfriend. The actress then starts wondering if every time he professes love, if he means it for her. Then the director interrupts, and she remembers it's just their characters. He happily goes back to his girlfriend, and the actress is alone. She's beautiful, just not to the actor.

I dont get this video! Someone explain for me! Thanks:)

This song makes sense, but I have no idea what's going on in the music video...

Dude you missed the 50s by about 60 years!

finally a music video for this amazing song :)

good for you. (:

I remember having to tell a girl that I dated for more than 6 months that I didn't love her the same way she loved me. All we had ever done was hold hands and when she started to get restless about the first kiss it became inevitable I'd have to tell her I was gay. I remember the song "Say What you Need to Say" inspired me to tell her the truth. This song reminds me of the the entire situation though.

Love this new video and song

Hey jay i'm the General manager for an internet radio station. We'd like to have your music on our station get in contact with me [email protected] or call 706-410-7810

If i was guitar i would let him play me!

gay people are humans too dumbass

this video is not accurate to the song at all.... like at all. Jay Brannan is gay. stupid.

i think this song kinda deserves more views than it has

Why do people seem absolutely convinced that the only way a guy could not like a girl who really liked him is if he was gay?

PS. We were introduced to you by one of your biggest fans, Sean A. from New York. We are thankful for the introduction.

Beautiful music! We are airing your videos online on Media Broadcasting ThatsSoGayLIVE. Please keep us posted on your music and we will make sure to air you regularly. Best wishes on this album. It's 'BEAUTIFUL'

1:11 that smile...

The most beautiful part of "beautifully" is "beautifully" itself

WHOA! That makes so much sense. "It's not that you're not beautiful You're just not beautiful to me." Duuuuuh

the accoustic version is way better, just him and his guitar :)

1:10 her lovely smile! :)

"for me, its about falling for someone who isnt attracted to you or doesn't love you back. i wrote it from the perspective of the chick, since that is the story of my life... i really wanted to write a country-style "he said / she said" story, but you cant do that with "he said / he said" because it's impossible to follow the characters! for me the feeling of rejection is universal, and our experiences are SO much bigger than pronouns & gender. " jay brannan

I love this song(: its obviously not about a gay guy ,

I'm sure that is what the song is about, a gay guy and a girl who likes him, that is. But it's harder to get views with a video like that. There are too many ignorant people who would automatically hate this song just because it has a homosexual man in it. Yeah, people are rediculous. I'm gay though so I don't care:) there are lots of songs I know about gays and they can't say it is or they have to cover it up just because they would loose fans because of it:( it's rather sad.

i love you.

20 people didnt know how beautiful they had to be

probably because it's right next to a pic of jay......
