Over gently plucked chords, Kahan\u2019s folk lament shows the stubborn endurance of childhood trauma, addiction, and the consequences of unresolved disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>I Stole the Last Beer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Noah Kahan - Willing and Able (Official Lyric Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2f4gu97XWFg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The song opens with a fight. The narrator drives home, leaving the argument unresolved. And taking the last beer from the fridge isn\u2019t just uncouth; it foreshadows a deeper problem between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Oh, when my weight left the room, did you take a deep breath?<br>I stole a beer, drove home; there was only one left.<br>And I wrestle the feeling you\u2019re still thinking about that,<br>Wide awake in your room, just seething about that<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Noah Kahan leaves, he\u2019s the jerk. But if he stays, then the couple drinks and fights. They relive childhood traumas. And those old ghosts resurface and continue to haunt and ruin future relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>When I make my flight, I\u2019m the devil,<br>But when I stay the night, then we drink.<br>And we stay up and fight \u2019bout the childhood lie,<br>That we both had the courage to leave<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chorus finds Kahan willing to take on the fight. But what\u2019s obvious here is the couple even fights about fighting. The entire affair appears fueled by animosity and booze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I\u2019m willing and able,<br>If you wanna kick this rock around.<br>If you\u2019ve got a bone to pick with me,<br>If you\u2019ve got a flag, plant it in the ground.<br>Oh, I\u2019ll stay here till morning,<br>Oh, we can fight like we used to fight.<br>Bony-limbed, red-faced, and teary-eyed,<br>Under the glow of the TV light<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>If I Call You Out<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf I call you out, I\u2019m an a**hole,\u201d he sings. But Kahan says he tells the truth when he drinks. While drinking can relax shyness. It also emboldens. And depending on the person, that can be dicey and cruel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the bridge, Kahan wishes for a lazy day in the yard with his partner. He hopes for a peaceful relationship. He\u2019s open to a d\u00e9tente. But it takes two to tangle, and so does a truce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Christopher Polk\/Penske Media via Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWilling And Able\u201d finds Noah Kahan dealing with a tumultuous relationship.
