Wasn't this a response to the homophobic tendencies of the hip-hop community at the time? Might be a good song to do. I love it, classic tune (on John Digweed's Bedrock mix album).
I used to know the lyrics...

Here we go, the lyrics to Morel - True (The ****** Is You):

Fagg0t breaks he says, "There's no survivors"
Jimmy's got sores, it's no suprise he can't walk as fast as you
And the sunshine burns right through his bones
His old man stumbles on the words, says
"Jesus doesn't want you -- die alone."

I woke to find that the Queen was dead
Beauty is love is what the paper said
It's true, the n*gger is you.

[chorus]
He said, "you're a pussy like Ru-Paul"
I'm a man, that is all
It's true, the fagg0t is you.

Sweet Boy lied 'cause his family despises
Sweet boys love and he realizes
That the white boy holds the key
To the truth about you and me

Taken from Richard Morel's website.

A pretty harsh and dark song. It was intended to be a sarcastic attack on the homophobic Rap community. Morel is openly gay. You can analyze the hell out of this song.

yes it is, armin has even said that in a trance.nu interview

quote:

The Story Behind: Yet Another Day
�Ray said �I�m gonna send you a song, it�s about a friend who killed himself.��

I met Ray at a club in Scotland called Room At The Top. Ray said I�m gonna send you a song, it�s about a friend who killed himself. So I gave him my card and never expected anything�That same week I got a envelope, took a listen to the CD and it was very deep. It�s so weird though- I was kind of ashamed of that track, actually. Then I made a first version, which is actually the Sunday 5PM mix. I got the accapella on Saturday and finished the mix on Sunday 5pm. We went back to the studio to tweak the lyrics. That was a few weeks before Sensation, we decided quickly to do a live performance, which was amazing. My younger brother (Eller) did the guitar live.
