I am going to with improvised on this one. I saw Hawksley live and he explained that this song was written about one drunken night. I am paraphrasing her but he said he was fed up with the world's injustices and didn't see the point in making music anymore. Making music seemed trivial when he looked at the bigger picture. But his friend convinced him that music, song and celebration were important and that music plays a role in sweetening our world. What's the use in fighting and advocating for a world that isn't pleasant to live in? Then this song was born.
