Inspired by one of the 'Lion' star's close friends, 'I Am Samantha' imagines a world entirely populated by trans-identified people.
Though Scheuer is cisgender and straight, he hoped the song would capture Williams’ experience before her gender confirmation and, as such, found it most effective to write directly from her perspective. Though he’s aware this choice may rankle some critics, he said he sees it as part of his artistic mission to “tell other people’s stories,” acting as a musical anthropologist of sorts.“Most of being a songwriter and performer is listening,” he told HuffPost.
