"Be Me"
by VINCINT

This song will be familiar to anyone who watches Queer Eye, since they use it for the theme song of that show. After watching one of the latest seasons, I added it to my playlist because it's such an affirming, positive song that really inspires me to embrace who I am, faults and all.

It also reminds me of what a great show Queer Eye is. It's one of the few instances where a hit show is rebooted and turned into an even better version than the original. I always found the initial Queer Eye for the Straight Guy kind of bland because it always fixated on making guys "datable" and teaching them skills to be a better partner in a relationship, but the new Queer Eye is about people (anybody) improving themselves, often for themselves. Loved ones nominate them, but in addition to spouses and significant others, they are nominated by people's parents, kids, neighbors, coworkers, friends, etc. and rather than just focusing on some new clothes, styling, etc. they also take a look at the person's home environment, relationships, view of themselves, etc. and tackle the whole thing. Rather than it being about making someone more "dateable" it's about making someone seeing themselves and embracing themselves for who they truly are and want to be.

I do think this music video leaves a little bit to be desired. There are so many incredible moments from the show, if they were going to go with a montage of what the show is about I think there were a lot of stronger options with more engaging moments from the series to choose from. Given how much of the video focused on the five hosts and not the subjects themselves, I wonder if it was a situation where they couldn't (or didn't want to) clear the subjects of each episode. *Think* Still, I love this song (and the show) and I found myself listening to it a lot this past year when I needed something affirming and confidence-building.
