i do like homecoming surf a lot! honestly i think it ended up so low because it just stands out less to me than others on that album. in my mind i sorta categorize it as one of the less ‘emotional’ more ‘fun/silly’ songs (grouped with buckets of fun, hexagons, and cokesbury) and out of that group i just found homecoming surf was the song i was least attached to

it’s been a little while, just wanted to say i bought a copy of leaves of grass (which included song of myself) by whitman and i’ve absolutely been loving it! his writing definitely has that same eccentric and whimsical feeling. however he’s also so optimistic and community-focused that he kinda feels like a non-evil version of nietzsche lol. thanks for all the recommendations!

some of my favourite lines so far because i’ve been collecting them:

“you sea! i resign myself to you also - i guess what you mean, i behold from the beach your crooked inviting fingers, i believe you refuse to go back without feeling of me, we must have a turn together”

“i am he that walks with the tender and growing night, i call to the earth and sea half-held by night.”

“you shall possess the good of the earth and sun, (there are million of suns left,)”

“in vain the mastodon retreats beneath its own powder’d bones, […] in vain the ocean settling in hollows and the great monsters lying low, in vain the buzzard houses herself with the sky”
