In this first part of a three part series (made from one 25 minute conversation). The New Gay was lucky enough to pick the brain of Stephin Merritt. The principle member and songwriter of The Magnetic Fields, Merritt has been responsible for some of the most haunting and eclectic love songs of the last fifty years. His 1999 magnum opus, 69 Love Songs, is the most well known of his albums but is far from the only impressive collection of his career. A consumate genre-ist, Merritt has taken successful forays through synthrock, country, and even reverb-soaked rock over the course of his albums. The openly gay Merritt was in DC touring behind his most recent work, "Realism," a collection of folk-inspired tunes. Of course, as Merritt's predilection for writing queer and un-gendered songs is only surpassed by their ever-adoring fan base I didn't want to spend our whole time together talking about just music. The above video, the second of a three part series, will give you an idea of what it is like to spend a little time talking with someone too humble to admit that their genius reputation precedes them. As for his opinions on modern music and coming out, well, on some of those you might just agree to disagree.

Strange Powers: Stephin Merritt and the Magnetic Fields Shot over 10 years, this captivating film delves into the unusual world of misanthropic genius Stephin Merritt, a notorious indie rock curmudgeon whos also lauded as the Cole Porter of independent music.

I Want to be Stephin Merritt's Boyfriend (lyrics) I wish that I were the type of guy that Stephin Merritt would love. He could take my hand and make me understand what melancholy's made of. Walking around Central Park, casually quoting Sartre, I'll be so goddamn pretentious every time I fart I will call it art. Oh, would you love me then, Stephin? I'm tall and shy. And I never was that good at sporting games. All the pretty girls, they would snicker when the teachers called my name. With my headphones on, I would play 69 Love Songs. A chicken with its head cut off. Fido, you leash is too long. If I sing along, oh, would you love me then, Stephin? (G7 turnaround 2x, Gm into bridge) I'm waiting for you Stephin, and I don't care. If you're like Eeyore, then I'm a silly bear. Run away with me to the 100 Acre Wood, and I'll give you all the honey this bear could. I wish that I were the type of guy that Stephin Merritt would love. But I've a better chance of pulling rabbits out of hats with cotton gloves. Maybe if I were a magician, I'd make you appear? After all it is an illusion, thinking I could have you here. It would be so queer. Oh, would you love me then, Stephin? Are you real or just pretend? Are you gonna break my heart and say we can't be friends?

This is "Forever and a Day", a song from Stephin Merritt's soon-to-be-released rarities/compilation album titled "Obscurities". The song originates from the unfinished musical "The Song From Venus" which Stephin worked on with Daniel Handler of "A Series of Unfortunate Events" fame. "Obscurities" will be released on August 23. The video is an exercise in multitracking, simultaneous video recording and splitscreen, all new to me. It comes off rather primitive, but I'm pleased all the same! Lyrics and Chords: EB Forever and a day C#m G# We'll dream our lives away AE Our love is here to stay Bsus4 B Marry me F#m C#m EB I'll give you every color of the rainbow F#m C#m EB They'll say it can't be done but what do they know EB You'll never be alone C#m G# You're my sine qua non AE And I'm a baritone Bsus4 B Marry me F#m C#m EB I'll gaze into your eyes and say I love you There'll always be a rainbow right above you EB Forever and a day C#m G# We'll watch our children play AE I know it's a cliché but BA I love you, come what may EB Forever and a day EBC#m G# AE Bsus4 B EB Forever and a day C#m G# We'll dream our lives away AE I know it's a cliché but BA I love you, come what may EB Forever and a day (I play the song in the key of G, and capoed on fret 2, because it's easier)

This one is for my wife... it's a cover of Stephin Merritt's (of The Magnetic Fields) "Forever and a Day" from his recently released Obscurities LP. FYI, I'm playing my new Mainland red cedar pineapple uke. And, yes... I'm in my PJs. If I look tired, it's because I should be sleeping. And I need a haircut, I know :)
