"I remember writing 'For Today I Am a Boy' in like 1995 and thinking, 'I could never play this to anyone. This is the most embarrassing song Iāve ever written, the most shameful ā how could I even sing this? Itās so freaky.' And then I thought, 'Oh! Thatās great!' It made me uncomfortable when I wrote it, and there must be something in that, so Iāll just try it. And I ended up singing that song for the whole, bio-diverse world. I ended up singing it for nature and for every living thing. ... And then the producer Hal Willner started to promote me, and introduced me to the broader, dare I say, heterosexual music world. A lot of those artists heard me sing and embraced me, and as a trans artist, identity hadnāt been pecked apart in the public sphere in this kind of Roman Coliseum way that it has now, so people werenāt necessarily perceiving my identity as grounds for not listening to my music. They were just curious about the music. So I Am A Bird Now was very interestingly marketed to the general public, whereas the album I just released, My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross, itās very difficult to convince anyone not to market it solely to a queer audience, just because thatās the way that demographic commercial marketing has taken this ugly turn. Itās crude and myopic. Iāve been writing albums about the environment and our relationship to the natural world, but youād be hard-pressed to find anyone that listens to PJ Harvey or Nick Cave still listening to my music, because they donāt think itās their lane. I find that really perverse, and itās been mostly true in the U.S., but itās less true in Europe.
My experience with I Am A Bird Now has been my lifelong experience ā which is that, as a person like me, your survival depends on the kindness of strangers: your own family, your own community, your own church decides if you live or die. They decide if theyāre going to 'tolerate' you, and the extent of your freedom in the community is based on the extent of the space allotted to you.
... Iāll give the advice that Lou [Reed] would have given me, which is, just donāt trust anyone that wants you to sign anything. Understand everything that youāre signing, understand what youāre giving away. That sounds very proprietary, but Lou was the one that prevented me from selling all my publishing for just a few dollars, at a moment when I was desperate. He just said, 'Never, ever. Even if no one is telling you that youāre valued, continue to retain knowledge of your value.' Whether or not it ever translates into money, according to the culture and the temperature of the era, your value is eternal. I turned down a lot of opportunities before I finally did what I did ā I Am a Bird Now came out when I was 35, I wasnāt young. I was 10, 15 years older than most of the other people in my peer group who were coming up that year, and I was worldly in certain regards, but I wasnāt worldly traveling through the media and understanding what that transaction was. It took me a long time to understand how a culture eats an artist, and now I am very clear about it.Ā Thatās what I would talk to young people about ā to understand that this is not a world that has your best interests at heart. You need to consider the structures that support you, first and foremost, in any level of disclosure or spelling of interior value. You need to fully vet and understand the consequences of that, to the best of your ability, before you throw yourself into it.
Iāve become much more aware of how meaningful the music has been developmentally for young trans people, in the same way that Boy Georgeās music was meaningful to me when I was 14 or 15, and Iām super grateful to be seen as representation of difference in culture. At the same time, I also resent the quarantine of the messaging ā I resent that the music isnāt heard because of the algorithm, because of the way that culture is contained. I got a career because a bunch of heterosexual musicians said I was a musician, and because a bunch of straight, respected guys decided that they were gonna force the issue, that I should be allowed to participate in music.Ā
Thatās what happened with I Am A Bird Now ā everyone heard it at the dinner table, because it was thrust into the imagination of the entire UK after the Mercury Prize. During the tour in 2005, there would be gangs of football players singing 'For Today I Am a Boy' in Spain. It was nuts ā heterosexual kids were listening to it too, because it was just considered part of the fabric of the year. Iāll always be grateful for my life ā I canāt believe I got a chance to do it, because so many people of my demographic could never get a chance to do anything like that. I really was one of the very few thatās had a chance to fully express my feeling. Iām able to mirror and voice how it feels to see the world through eyes like mine. And thatās a miracle."
