I love this song - though it is so sad. If this doesn't make you want to not drink to excess, I don't know what would... At any rate, so much of this song has overtones of one's own willful choice of headed towards self-distruction: the song referenced actually goes "sometimes I live in the country/sometimes I live in town/sometimes I get a good notion/to jump in the river and drown/Irene goodnight...." This is such a great song...Moxy Fruvous has this incredible ability to mix great song writing with musical talent...I love these guys...
