has released what may be his least untrustworthy, most reliably narrated number ever: “Stay Away,” a short tune he put on social media at the behest of a radio station that had asked him to weigh in on life during the“I’ve been asked by KPCC [a public radio talk station in Pasadena] to say some words about social distancing, because of my scientific background,” he says at the start of the clip, adding that “apparently there’s some disease that’s going around.
And then Newman sets those sentiments to song — a love song, of sorts — that looks forward to all the things that can happen after the pandemic eases up while reiterating the things that can’t happen now . An unseen dog offers quiet support from near the piano, human/canine contact being a safer bet.
It is not the most tightly or classically structured song Newman has ever put out in his five-decade-plus career, but it will strike a chord among shut-in listeners. And although he is probably in no danger of joining the ranks of exclusively confessional songwriters, the reference to having been with a “Venus in sweatpants” for “30 years together” does seem to reaffirm that he is writing out of character here. Newman even offers a PSA of sorts as an addendum.
“I wish everyone well, and wish myself well, to some extent,” he says at song’s conclusion. “Stay safe. It’s hard for Americans that don’t like being told what to do at all. But in this case, let’s do it, and we’ll be all right.”
