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."
