“The untold want, by life and land ne’er granted,
Now, Voyager, sail thou forth, to seek and find.”
― Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

A little short on time this morning (what’s new?) but I wanted to share this new song from an upcoming album by a favorite of mine, Rhiannon Giddens. She has one of those voices that always seems absolute and powerful. A beautiful rarity. I felt that this particular song fit right in with the theme behind much of my work, especially in the line in its chorus :
Don’t know where I’m going but I know what to do
Does anyone really know what they’re looking for in this life? Just doing the right thing and being honest with ourselves is all we can do as we search.
So, give a listen and keep on seeking, folks. Have a great day.
She may be the best voice of our time. Or last time, or next time, for that matter. Wonderful.
It is an amazing voice.
As I recall, that quote was the source of the title of one of the better Bette Davis films, “Now, Voyager.”
Great film. And yes, this line of verse was the source of its title.
