Despite being the last song of the album, this is the first song Brendon wrote for "Death of a Bachelor". This song serves as a “eulogy” for the album’s titular dead bachelor and leaves the listener wondering about his future; after the parties and drugs, he is a [metaphorical] corpse. This is also a personal song; Brendon has said that 2016 was a very tough year for him; Spencer Smith, the former drummer of the band, just left, among other issues he battled with.
This song is a combination of pessimism and optimism: each series of pessimistic lines closes with the refrain “This impossible year”, as a reassurance that better times will come with Sarah Urie and his love of music to motivate him. He dwells on his sorrows but also seeks recovery. With this song, he tells listeners to cherish good times, but also persevere when in a struggle.
Urie explains to Coup de Main that writing this mournful song served as catharsis, a release of stress:
"It felt like for a lot of people, especially in 2016, that it was kind of an impossible year. I felt defeated a lot of times, and ultimately with fuckbag Trump whatever, that idiot in office. I think it’s nice to acknowledge that, because then you can move forward. If you say, ‘Ah, maybe this wasn’t our best, we’ll try again next year! We’ll try again and again.’ Usually I just enjoy ending albums in that kind of sullen sombre tone, a little sadder. There’s something about that that makes me happier in a weird way. I listen to a sad song and I feel better afterwards – it’s cathartic in a sense."
Urie explains to Fuse how Frank Sinatra inspired him to croon in this song, something new to him:
"I always had a deep appreciation and love for Frank Sinatra […] the timbre of his voice is so rich and the messages he’s creating and portraying is so strong. And that’s how I felt this time [when writing the song]. A lot of has to do with that I’ve never done that before. I’m always pushing myself to do something I haven’t done before, because it is exciting and it keeps it new for me so it never feels stale." Read more on Last.fm.
