Jenna Ryan released a song and it’s about Jesus or Trump

The story of Jenna Ryan, the Frisco real estate broker accused of participating in the January 6 raid on the United States Capitol, is like an onion. Every time a new layer is exposed to the atmosphere it smells like hell, but you can’t help but take a huge whiff.

The latest fragrant news comes in musical form. Ryan wrote and recorded an original song for a self-help YouTube channel called SelfLoveU, which sounds like a college billing itself as “the home of the Fightin ‘Wellness Journals.”

The song is called My falling heart. It’s one of those radical, inspiring ballads with heavy religious tones that Bo Burnham was probably listening to when he wrote the lyrics to “White Woman’s Instagram”.

Now, it would be unfair to give an honest review of this song because Ryan wrote it 10 years ago, long before its infamous rise to the national stage, according to his Twitter account. Even if that was not the case, Ryan is also an independent artist and music is not his main profession, so we will not hold it to the level of professional musicians with the support of a media machine of millions of people. dollars.

The news of the song’s release intrigued us nonetheless, especially once the lyrics made their way into our cochlea. It’s the sonic equivalent of a car crash on the freeway and the creeping guilt that builds up watching the carnage. Ryan claims it’s a song about faith and the enduring human spirit, but it looks like there’s something much deeper at work here.

Here’s a breakdown of the lyrics.

My falling heart
look for someone
to see me and take me
just as i am

We’re pretty sure she’s talking about former President Donald Trump here. Sure, it’s easy to believe it’s a song about Jesus, but she said she looked to receive orders from Trump before she flew to Capitol Hill.

Reach and grab
try to hang on
ask the question
Does anyone care?

This is an obvious cry for help. Who wouldn’t feel the same when the world is looking at you from the side? Is Ryan trying to send a message to Trump begging him, sorry him, to come to his aid at his hour of need? It is possible, but also just as doubtful. Trump struggles to maintain the concentration necessary to read uncoded messages written in his native language.

So i hear your voice
whisper to me
light in darkness
Your truth revealed

We try to avoid jumping to conclusions, but this part is far from subtle. However, we’re not sure Trump can whisper; her thunderous voice shouts “Me! Watch out for me!”

And I know someone loves me
His name is jesus
I know someone loves me
His name is god

Here is a fun game! Go back and replace the words “Jesus”, “someone”, “someone”, “anyone” and “God” with “Trump”, “Donald” or “My Donny-wonny” and try not to laugh at the results. You may dislocate your jaw in the process, but it’s worth it.

He is the Alpha and the Omega
My Jesus, it remains the same

This is the most damaging proof of the true nature of Ryan’s song. No one stays the same better than Trump. It is a rock. It is a stubborn, unremovable mountain of lessons not learned. If someone were to try to make an after school special based on Trump’s mistakes, the forced lesson would be that everyone is wrong that you initially thought they were.

It strengthens my heart
and i know he’s there

My heart will rest in the love of my savior
My heart will rest in the love of my savior

This part really broke our hearts. We’re sorry for Ryan. We just imagine Ryan as that poor kid at prom who couldn’t get a date and had to look out the jeweled gym window as the happy couples on the dance floor partied with Trump. .

Do not worry. The feeling will pass. Just as we imagined Ryan uttering the tearful words on “Endless Love”, we remembered that she reassured us that she would not go to jail because “I have blonde hair, good skin. white, an excellent job, a bright future “(sic) just like she did it on Twitter.
