Its title comes from Walt Whitman's Song of Myself, and it was released as a single in April 2020.
The words
An aging narrator describes himself as a bundle of contradictions holding many selves at once.
An aging narrator describes himself as a bundle of contradictions, holding many selves and moods at once. The verses work like a self-portrait made of opposites and borrowed figures, naming people from Anne Frank and Indiana Jones to the Rolling Stones, as he admits to both tenderness and menace. The tone is calm, sly and quietly unsettling. It is a soft, almost hushed performance over gentle guitar, letting each verse unfold slowly.
