I/Me/Myself (COVER) - Original by Will Wood
0Sometimes, I make a song, not because I want people to like my cover, but to piss people off.
Also, fun fact: only the segment of this video past 3:11 was flagged for copyright, making it demonetized (again, I can't monetize my videos yet anyways, I do not care), despite literally the whole thing being recorded/arranged by myself. I don't know, YouTube is dumb.
I/Me/Myself is a song that I absolutely love that I absolutely cannot stand the meaning of. Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against Mr. Wood, and given the context of his lived experiences, I completely understand his perspective in making these lyrics. However, as someone who takes great joy and pride in my identity, I will never be able to sing lyrics like "The privilege of being born to be a man" or "All identities are equally invalid, don't you think that there's a chance that you could live without it" straight. So, instead, I expanded on the idea of the multiple singers in "Thankk you Marsha" and tried to make it clear what's my honest feelings. The first two choruses being performance, acting as though the idea of not being a cis man is just a joke to be used frivolously, with the last one being hard and real links to...you know what, I don't need to explain myself to any of you. If it sounds intentionally bad, it's because it is intentional.
