Inside Out (1999) is an album by voice artist Cam Clarke. It consists essentially of covers of popular romantic songs. As a peculiar twist, some lyrics were changed by Clarke to fit the perspective of a gay man.
On the album's booklet, he explained the idea behind the album, as well as its title:
There are love songs in everyone's life that have special meaning. Especially those we heard when we "came of age". Well, when coming of age also includes the realization that you're gay, you learn to overlook the fact that every love song has a man singing about a woman (or vice versa) and your experience is from the outside looking in. I often thought, wouldn't it be nice if I could hear love songs from my perspective?[1]
