“You don’t have to say I love you to say I love you”—Troye Sivan ft. All Day “for him.”
Viral YouTube star turned pop sensation Troye Sivan dropped his debut album Blue Neighbourhood today. To celebrate the release, Sivan took to Genius to annotate some of the album’s best tracks.
In an annotation on “Heaven,” Sivan talks about how his sexuality has influenced his feelings about religion, “It’s kind of sad, I think I had a lot more faith when I was young. But because of my sexuality, the idea that before I’ve even woken up in the morning I’m some sort of sinner kind of threw me off and put me off religion in general.”
But Sivan’s shift in ideology hasn’t affected his faith in love. In an annotation on “for him.,” Sivan talks about what it really means to love someone, “Love can be communicated in just a look or a gesture or whatever, and I often feel like those are the kind of things that hit home a lot harder than someone looking at your and being like “I love you.” Love is not something that you express when you say “I love you” necessarily, it’s something that you express in a million little gestures throughout every single day.”
