Discover the story of the song > The Sad Ballad of Danny Boy – Floater

The protagonist, Danny Boy, loves drinking and going out to pubs at night. However, his wife is worried because he often comes home late and his children don't recognize him anymore. She tries to tell him that his violent behavior is not okay and that he needs to change, but he doesn't seem to listen. The song ends with someone soothingly singing "Sleep, floating child" to try to calm Danny down and show him affection.
