Song meaning of Jake's Piano / Long Island by Zach Bryan

Ah, Zach Bryan, singing about the age-old struggle of trying to quit smoking and drinking, only to realize that the best parts of your loved one are still missing. It's like trying to solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded while riding a unicycle on a tightrope - it's just not gonna happen, my friend. And then we have "Long Island," where Zach's mind ain't well, but he can't figure out why. Maybe it's all those late nights at the old bar, staying out way past a sensible bedtime on a Tuesday. But hey, at least he's got drunk dreams of his ex dancing down the shore. It's like a twisted version of "The Great Gatsby" set in a Long Island bar, with Zach playing the role of Jay Gatsby and alcohol-induced hallucinations taking the place of his beloved Daisy. Can't say I ever thought I'd see that scenario play out, but here we are. Cheers to you, Zach Bryan, for giving us some heartbreaking yet oddly entertaining tunes.
