The Ruin was a nickname for one of Nia Ilyssa’s best friends who passed away in 2014. She originally wrote and performed this song for his memorial. Nia decided to extend the song and add it to this project because she carries his memory everywhere with her. He was fearless and alway choose to lead his life with love. It’s a bit morbid when most of your role models are dead, but they don’t ever have to stop being an inspiration. Nia’s angels are always guiding her.
