This is prob. my all-time favorite song. Neko Case is one of my very favorite singer-songwriters, and this song is her at her very best. It's such a unique, creative, and powerful song. I'm in awe of it whenever I listen to it! It has a powerful message: Regardless of our individual gender, sexual orientation, race, etc. we're all members of MANKIND and are all connected to each other through that. Neko Case may be a straight female in social terms, but she FEELS like she's a man and who's to say she isn't? Gender identity is far more than one's genitals or sexual orientation. And we're all part of MANKIND and so our lives and bodies are interconnected in more ways than we realize anyway. That's my 2 cents on this song's interpretation. Brilliant Song! My Favorite.
