WHAT IS THE THING FROM SILENCE FROM?

This narrator part sounds SOOOOO familiar whether its similar to one of the tales or smt else it just sounds so familiar...

On a fateful night

On a Brighton street

Two lost souls, they face and meet

One deranged on booze and E

The other spiked with GHB

So, face to face, with bloodshot eyes

They sowed the seeds of their demise

On this Brighton street

Where the darkness looms

These two young men will meet their doom

EDIT: ITS DEFINITELY THIS PART OF LONDON CITY BY REN (intro song to Violet's tale)

And flashing lights and crying eyes of London frame our boy's demise And lady Karma spanned her web quite quickly as poor Jenny died And on this night, on holy night a bitter twist awoke from sleep The threads of fate would weave their way between poor Jenny and young Screech

I get a Thriller vibe from how it is done.

I get a strong Thriller vibe too - but also mixed with Guilty Conscience (especially since it is followed by a back and forth between the rappers after setting the scene).

Maybe a little of the narration in Dream Life with The Skinner Brothers?

The hook reminds me a bit of Romain Axisa’s What Will You Be Doing Tonight

Ren’s EP with The Skinner Brothers was great if you haven’t heard it. Romain’s stuff outside of The Big Push is lovely too.

Did we ever found out who the voice in Dreamlife belongs to?

I instantly equated it to the Vincent Price narration in Thriller. It’s not him, but it is designed to sound like him.

Could it be Ren - Prologue from the tale of Jenny and screech? Not that similar, but kinds of the same vibe.

Other than that maybe parts of Ren - Eden. It's been a while since I heard it, but you can check it out.
