tructure/Style
The song begins with a fingerpicking section combined with and Interpolation of the melody of Beethoven's Ode to Joy. The song slowly builds up as the song progresses. The final verse has Conor addressing issues regarding himself "Well I could have been a famous singer/if I had someone else's voice/but failures always sounded better/let's fuck it up boys, make some noise"
The song explodes into a frenzy where drums, trumpets and horns all come in, eventually fading.
