It is because of her, why I am still here. She is the reason I am becoming who I am today. I came out after my wife died, with her blessing. I’m not talking simple tears, I broke down sobbing. I’m not a good singer, although I sang this one, and I cried. I heard Calum sing this, then I got the lyrics. This leads to, “You are the Reason.” Calum won BGT the same year my beautiful wife of 40 years died. Yet, it was my wife who loved me, No matter what. Life was not always easy, and my adopted mother didn’t make it any easier, in fact for as long as that woman was alive, she made my married life hell and tried everything to destroy my marriage. I met and married my beautiful wife in 1974.

My adopted mother nearly killed me when she discovered it in 1970. There goes my heart beating Cause you are the reason Im losing my sleep Please come back now There goes my mind. His song, “No Matter What,” is sadly something I would never hear from my parents about being gay. I’m also gay, and several of his songs are about how I felt growing up in the 1960s & 70s as a gay boy. Verse 1 There goes my heart beating 'Cause you are the reason I'm losing my sleep Please come back now And there goes my mind racing And you are the reason That I'm still breathing I'm hopeless. I caught the video of his performance on BGT in 2015, with “Dancing On My Own.” I loved his voice. You’re the reason why I’m who I am today Yeah you’re the reason why I’ll never be the same You’re the reason why Yeah youre the reason why We used to laugh and cry You know its been a crazy ride Wouldnt trade it for my life We had our ups and downs, but we got to safe the town And we make it back go round Tell me what will be on. I had never heard of Calum until a little over a year ago, 2019.
