"Magnolia" is a song by Australian alternative rock band Gang of Youths, released on 17 April 2015 as the third and final single from their debut studio album, The Positions.
The song recounts the experience of frontman David Le'aupepe on a "week-long bender that precluded sleep and eating" and his subsequent attempt to commit suicide on 3 June 2014.
[4] On 3 June 2014, Gang of Youths frontman David Le'aupepe, at the end of a week-long bender consisting of "plenty of drinking, smoking and vomiting up blood", was walking drunk with a bottle of Southern Comfort in his band through Strathfield, New South Wales.
[6] In a state of puerile drunken delirium, reeling from having my heart fucked beyond all recognition and knowing my marriage was about to fall apart, I tried to kill myself.
[7] In 2018, on the fourth anniversary of the incident, he shared a lengthy post on social media thanking his friends for saving his life and further opening up about his mental health struggles.
