They produce, write, and sing. The pair started playing drums at a very young age and began producing beats and writing songs while studying at Loyola University in New Orleans.

Reunion
Mulherin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hope that I turned her right, how will I know?
Or did all the time magnify all your emotions?
Is it wrong that I said that I love what you did with your hair?
And my eyes are dry while you cry right in the opposite chair
And I'm sorry I seem to feel nothing at all these days
Wish that I did (Wish that I did)
And no matter how hard I try
I'll always feel the same

(Don't you have something to say?)
(I thought you had something to say) (Say)
So where's my alibi? Where did I go cold?
And how did I sleep at night? You need to know
But I think that we probably had this all gone well before
So I pay the bill, change the subject as we walk out the door
And I'm sorry, I wish that I had something more to say
Wish that I did (Wish that I did)
Better think of a better lie right as I'm driving away
That I'll never say
(Don't you have something to say?)

I wish I had something to say, mmm
Wish I had something to say

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mulherin's song Reunion convey a sense of regret and questioning about a past relationship. The singer seems to be unsure if they did the right thing, wondering if they have caused their former partner emotional pain. They reflect on their behavior in the relationship, perhaps remorseful about not being more present or emotionally connected. The lines "And I'm sorry I seem to feel nothing at all these days / Wish that I did" suggest that the singer has lost touch with their emotions and is struggling to process their feelings.

As the song progresses, the singer questions where they went wrong in the relationship, wondering where they went "cold." They seem to be searching for an explanation or justification for their behavior, or perhaps seeking absolution from their former partner. Ultimately, though, they cannot find the words to express their regret, saying "I wish I had something to say."

The song's tone is introspective and melancholic, using sparse instrumentation to emphasize the weight of the lyrics. The repetition of the phrase "Wish that I did" adds to the sense of longing and regret that permeates the song.
