《MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)》是由
利尔·纳斯·X演唱,利尔·纳斯·X、Denzel Baptiste、David Biral、Omer Fedi和Roy Lenzo作词、作曲的歌曲,于2021年3月26日以单曲形式发行,后收录至利尔·纳斯·X的首张录音室专辑《
MONTERO》。
创作背景
2020年,利尔·纳斯·X到朋友家做客,而那时的他对那位朋友很有好感,同时他还联想到了电影《
请以你的名字呼唤我》的情节,于是创作了该曲,并以自己的本名Montero命名该曲。利尔·纳斯·X认为异性恋的歌曲中已经有许多露骨直白的歌词,但对同性之间的性欲描绘的歌曲却不多见,于是他在歌词中毫不避讳地描绘同性间的性欲,并希望听众听了不会感到奇怪。
歌曲歌词
I caught it bad just today
You hit with me with a call to your place
Ain't been out in a while anyway
Was I hoping I could catch you throwin' smiles at my face
Romantic talking You don't even have to try
You're cute enough to f**k with me tonight
Lookin' at the table all I see is weed and white
Baby you livin' the life but nigga you ain't living right
Cocaine and drinking witcha' friends
You live in the dark, boy, I cannot pretend
I'm not fazed, only here to sin
If Eve ain't in your garden, you know that you can
Call me when you want
Call me when you need
Call me in the morning
I'll be on the way
Call me when you want
Call me when you need
Call me out by my your name
I'll be on the way, like
I wanna sell what you're buying
I wanna feel on your ass in Hawaii
I want that jet lag from f**kin' and flyin'
Sh**t a child in your mouth while I'm ridin'
Oh, oh... Why me
A sign of the times every time that I speak
A dime and a nine, it was mine every week
What a time, an incline, God was shining on me
Now I can't leave
And now I'm actin' hella elite
Never walk with niggas that's in my league
I want to f**k the ones I envy (I envy)
Cocaine and drinking witcha' friends
You live in the dark, boy, I cannot pretend
I'm not fazed, only here to sin
If Eve ain't in your garden, you know that you can
Call me when you want
Call me when you need
Call me in the morning
I'll be on the way
Call me when you want
Call me when you need
Call me by your name
I'll be on the way, like
Call me by your name
Tell me you love me in private
Call me by your name
I do not care if you're lying
歌曲鉴赏
该曲探讨了“同志”情欲,并结合地狱撒旦等禁忌主题,歌词中听众能感受到利尔·纳斯·X正炽热地爱着一个人。歌词中利尔·纳斯·X也在庆祝自我认同,其中包含一段他给14岁的自己的支持宣言:“我知道我们保证永远不会公开出柜,我知道我们保证永远不会成为‘那’类的同性恋,我知道我们保证会带着秘密死去,但这么做可以为许多其他酷儿族群敞开正当存在的大门。”这段歌词美丽且有力量。
歌曲MV
该曲MV的编舞是Kelly Yvonne,钢管舞的灵感来自FKA twigs的《
Cellophane》MV。而创作地狱的画面的灵感则是由于利尔·纳斯·X从小被“同性恋会下地狱”这句话“洗脑”,使得他在青少年时期非常厌恶自己的性倾向,所以一方面他希望通过该MV让宗教人士感受到他的愤怒与抗议,另一方面,从天使坠入地狱,到与撒旦性感热舞,甚至篡位成为撒旦,都是他在表达解放自己的一种方式。
该曲MV剧情从圣经出发,在伊甸园的利尔·纳斯·X被半人半蛇的怪物吸引,援引撒旦诱拐夏娃反叛上帝,他跳着钢管舞,一路跳进地狱。
