#108 of 366: Violet’s Tale, Ren (London City intro, Jenny’s Tale, Screetch’s Tale bonus recs)

Trigger warning. This song is not a happy one. It’s a tale of a pregnant girl dying from domestic abuse after giving birth. Feel free to skip this post if you feel like you’re not up to it. No judgment. It even makes me cringe when I listen to it.

If you’re still with us, this song contains some of the craziest guitar work I’ve ever heard. Seriously, I’ve never heard a guitar do some of this stuff.

Given the subject matter, I’m not going to share the lyrics. Sometimes music isn’t there to make us happy, or feel good, or love. Sometimes it’s meant to tell a story that chills us. A cautionary tale. A reminder to look out for our loved ones. I think that’s honestly what the song (and related ones, London City, Jenny’s Tale and Screetch’s Tale) were written for. I’ll link em at the end.

If you’re into some sad and sometimes painful song listens, these songs are a narrative he’s created and it’s pretty amazing in it’s originality.

Hard to recommend “enjoying” this song, but, if you take them for what they are, it’s a poignant tale spun by Ren. Some of the coolest guitar work if nothing else!

  1. The world is so full of so much that is awful and tragic. So much pain. Stupidity. Hate. Violence. And beauty. Love. Kindness.

    It is so overwhelming if we let it be.
