I feel touched by the commitment to vulnerability coming from men. The song states – in a nutshell – men have feelings and I am committed to honor that from now on. It was a historic moment in the 1970s, when the myth of the “strong man” – so deeply alive and engrained in many cultures even today – was debunked by some, who were able to see past the appearances and protective outer layers.
You are hearing Al Chappele reciting a few important commitment to change and then Marshall sings with a warm and tender voice. I note that in the current cultural climate, Marshall would probably be cancelled for some of his words in this song. Please remember – we have responsibility for what we hear. Make your choice.
