Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat comes to mind

there’s a deep uncertainty and vulnerability embedded. Left by themselves on the page, they evoke feelings of doubt, longing, fear, and hesitation. But there’s a wonderfully discordant effect to the airy, lively, and synth-driven song they’re transplanted on top of. And there’s a powerful poignancy and mystery to the musical decision to allow the lyrics to stand in such bold defiance to the melody and harmony at hand.
