Mercury—Part 1, frontman Instagram of himself playing its latest single "Wrecked" on an acoustic guitar while sitting on a beach at sunset. While the setting sounds serene, the song actually has a pretty heartbreaking backstory that Reynolds explained in a statement upon its release. "Wrecked" is about his step sister Alisha Durtschi Reynolds passing away after a battle with cancer. “She was the brightest light. A beacon of joy and strength for everyone she met. Her sudden passing has shaken me in ways that I still am unable to express," he said. "I was with her and my brother when she passed, and it was the first time in my life that I had witnessed death in this way. It sealed into my mind the fragility of life and finality of this all. I’ve watched my brother face something that no one should have to. But I’ve also seen his faith bring him hope in a future with her. I can only hope for the same."
