this awesome piece was also done by Blattarieva who got far into finishing this version before they re-read what instrument I said Irk plays (canonically he plays a Mandolin). since they already gotten far into production of this Guitar version they sent it my was as well. I added to lyrics to the speech bubbles though. next time I commission Blattarieva I'm gonna leave an even bigger tip for their work.

considering recent events I wanted to commission a more personal and sad piece.

the lyrics are from the song "Give Up" by Low Roar. I found the song through the game Death Stranding.

moments before he was set to perform at the Bennington pub. Irk had unfortunately discovered deeply upsetting news. the loss of someone near to him hurt in a way he never felt before. his thoughts clouded with memories of the past. the good the bad. but most of all was it his fault. being overwhelmed with life he had no time to reach out. now they're gone. he'll never know if he's to blame. this thought kept eating away at his soul. with his heart heavy he took the stage. typically he'd sing a jovial song but in this moment he needed to open up. a song of reflection and regrets manifested before the audience as the Goblin bore his soul once again. this time a part of him few see.
