David Byrne has shared ‘She Explains Things to Me’, the second single from his forthcoming album Who Is the Sky?. Following lead cut ‘Everybody Laughs’, the track was inspired by Rebecca Solnit’s book Men Explain Things to Me and scans as a wholesome twist on the mansplaining phenomenon. Check it out below.
“Many times I have marveled at how a friend (usually a female friend) seems to clock what is going on in a film between characters way before I do,” Byrne explained in a press release. “Sometimes I understand poetry, but sometimes I need help. Though inspired by the Solnit book ‘men explain things to me’ there is a huge difference- mansplaining is usually unasked for, in this case I am the one asking.”
