This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I have a story I think you should hear
so sit down my friend and pour yourself a beer
He was born in the homeland in 1819
And Sean Reilly was the drunkest man this world has ever seen
He started bright and early with that rare old mountain dew
He’d drink down one pint, and then he’d drink down two
He would finish his jug, and head toward the door
And go down to the local pub to drink again some more
So raise up your glasses and hail to the king
Sean Reilly was the drunkest man this world has ever seen
Drink down your whiskey when you hear that ceilidh call
Cause there’s a little bit, yes a little of Sean Reilly in us all
Sean Reilly would challenge the roughest of men
He’d drink until they all passed out and challenge them again
They would gather together from all over town
But nary a man could drink Sean Reilly down
So raise up your glasses and hail to the king
Sean Reilly was the drunkest man this world has ever seen
Drink down your whiskey when you hear that ceilidh call
Cause there’s a little bit, yes a little of Sean Reilly in us all
Then one night as he sat and drank in walked an Irish lass
She looked him in the eye and said, “I’ll drink you off your ass”
They sat down at the table and poured the whiskey round
And before the night was over she had drunk Sean Reilly down
Soon after they were married, it was the grandest thing
For when she out-drunk him he had finally found his queen
They drank together the rest of their life
As the drunkest of couples: Sean Reilly and his wife
So raise up your glasses and hail to the king
Sean Reilly was the drunkest man this world has ever seen
But his lady could drink until she made Sean Reilly fall
So there’s a little bit, yes a little of Mrs. Reilly in us all!

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
