"Requiem for a Dying Song" comes from Float, the fourth album by Celtic punk band Flogging Molly, released on March 4, 2008. The whole band has a hand in the writing, with Dave King, Bridget Regan, Dennis Casey, Nathen Maxwell, Robert Schmidt and George Schwindt all credited, and they produced it with Ryan Hewitt, who also recorded and mixed it.
Float was the band turning darker and more political, easing off the whimsy and the punk rush of earlier records, and this song sits right in that shift. AllMusic singled it out among the album's songs about what was going wrong with America's capitalist economy, which gives the title's funeral note a pointed edge.
