“Grief” by Saguru – A Song Feature

 

     For two minutes, “Grief” radiates a vocals-driven steady warmth, then the single from Saguru transforms into a crescendo-driven instrumental intensity riser. The song begins with gentle guitar and the voice of Saguru, with harmonization for references to never being the same. At times, the rhythm section deserves points for originality.

     It’s around the two-minute mark that the vocals cease, and the crescendo invigorates the song for almost a minute. The energy build is not consistent with the subject matter. Saguru says:
  It's a song that means a lot to me and which I wrote after the sudden death of my grandma. Knowing that death is a part of life, the innocent, naive child inside of me, who always thought that everything would just go on forever, died that day. This world no longer exists: "We will never be the same."
 
     Saguru was started by Chris Rappel in 2016. He is based in Munich. Germany. His website helps explain the inconsistency of “Grief.” The bio states that Saguru “songs are melancholically dark, but also always contain a sense of departure, a view, clarity and lightness. The moment after the rain.”
