A Little Juice 🧃

12 days ago

It's the last 15 minutes of the first Tuesday of the second to last month.
In actuality it's nothing special, but November is the month where I decided to restart my Instagram writing account. It's been off for almost eight months so I guess there's that.
In actuality, it has been a while since I wrote a story on here, I'm one who's moved by passion so my writing schedule is rather erratic.
Regardless, I've been thinking a lot about stories, about how they're given, how people accept it, how they interpret it and how they interact with it.

I decided to listen to some artists and one really stood up to the challenge.
An artist whose death truly exponentially increased his fame, his story changed, the way it was interpreted changed.
I was his fan when he was alive and to be honest I slumped out when he died, to me the story in his songs had changed, yet his fan base increased and is still increasing now.

Juice Wrld held my 2020. This is no joke, I was convinced that we had similar voices and at such I memorized and sang almost all his songs, I sung them well too.
His songs about depression, love, drugs, religion and death were invigorating to me.
I didn't really fancy the 999 cult but I did like the music.

I believe when my love for him reached it's peak was 2021 when he released his last set of songs.

This song was used in the first Spiderman into the spider verse chronicles.
His slow reverb voice made the ode even sweeter.
It's just a song I vibe with.

Life's a Mess ~ Juice Wrld ft Halsey

This is one song that really helped me during some tough times, the intro and outro were perfect.
That perfect melodic first verse that just lays all emotions bare in a poetic rushing way.
It carried the song, the chorus and later part were just add ons.
As you listen, I urge you to use headphones with the volume at max, let the words wash over you ✨

Legends ~ Juice Wrld

There were some controversial rumors that he sold his soul to the devil, and that he knew he would soon die.
To be honest, the supposed hints about the end being at 21 seemed quite incriminating.
I didn't care much about those rumors though, not that I don't believe in the illuminati, more like I couldn't be bothered about them.
Regardless this tune amongst many other was released after his death, this song in my opinion summed up his story.

From the first piano amd guitar notes, it was clear that this was going to be a solemn tune. I loved it. This was the first post mortem song that I entirely wholesomely loved.
The emotions felt so real, the words hit hard, the chorus was everything.
As I'm writing this, I'm listening to the song and the only thing I can say is that he did it.
Juice Wrld became a legend, his songs would be sung over and over. His story isn't dead.

To be honest, like most of my writings, I don't know why I chose this artist or these songs.
Mostly driven by my passion's so my decisions are made on the spot.
Regardless Jusicewrld is one artist I dont usually present here so these would be my entry to @ablaze's #threetunestuesday.
