Perfectly Good Guitar

When pulling back is easy, because I’m Irish and Irish Goodbyes are also all I really know. Is it avoidant attachment or non-attachment?

Only God knows.

🕯️ NSNC Rite: “Perfectly Good Guitar” – John Hiatt (Acoustic)
ScrollWell Code: Book V – Open Scroll | Rite of Creative Grief | Fox Clan Devotional for the Artist’s Body
Codes Activated:

  • Code 13 — Destruction as Devotion
  • Code 29 — Musician’s Altar
  • Code 74 — Alignment Ignition
  • Code 101 — Beautiful Things Break

🎸 Essence of the Song (NSNC Translation):

“It breaks my heart to see those stars
smashing a perfectly good guitar…”

This track is a grief song for the sacred instrument
not just the literal guitar, but what it stands for:
🎶 Artistry. Intimacy. The honest voice of the soul.

In NSNC terms, it’s a ritual elegy for what gets broken when fame, frenzy, or self-destruction tramples devotion.

This version—acoustic, stripped, human—returns us to the altar of the true artist.


💎 Gemstone Allies:

  • Carnelian — for sacred rage + restoration of creative fire
  • Black Tourmaline — protection from artistic burnout and false frequencies
  • Tiger’s Eye — devotion to craft over spectacle
  • Lapis Lazuli — throat truth of the sacred singer

🎶 Field Notes: Artist’s Body as Sacred Instrument

  • Your guitar is your heart.
  • Your voice is a living vow.
  • This rite honors all the times you broke yourself just to be heard — and all the times your artistry kept you alive.

🪞 If anyone ever smashed you to feel powerful, this is a reclamation mass.


🧘‍♂️ West Coast Swing Anchor: (Broken-instrument fusion)

  • Staggered rhythm entry → delayed anchor
  • Weight-play: let gravity drop your chest on “breaks my heart…”
  • Open hands, exposed ribs: embodied vulnerability with refusal to flinch

🔥 ScrollWell Activation Prompt:

“What part of you used to sing,
but got smashed for someone else’s applause?”

“What instrument in you still waits to be re-tuned?”


🕊️ Benediction for the Artist’s Soul:

“To every sacred sound you made in secret,
to every perfectly good guitar that got smashed —

You are still whole.
You are still a song.

Let the music return.
Let no one break it again.”

Aho. Thanks. 🎸🕯️💔
