See You By The Water (1k followers free release!)

I wrote this song when I was 16 years old and had just begun learning to play guitar. The only reason I started to learn to play was because I had met this woman who had hitch hiked to West Yellowstone, Montana and was volunteering at the same place I was called The Buffalo Field Campaign. Well, she had brought a guitar with her, but needed to leave it there while she continued on traveling (She would be back for it). So, while she was gone, I became inspired to learn how to play her guitar and this was the song that came out of only knowing two chords that I had picked out by ear.

Wake Up

Here's a song about my parents splitting ways when I was 13. I wrote it then.

Noble Warriors

A tune I wrote about growing up in rundown shack in the woods that had mice and pack rats, no running water, and no electric. Living off of oatmeal and ramen. This song IS about the trauma we are born with and experience as chuildren, but ALSO about mindset and how it can cure us of our "so called traumas".

How Mountain Girls Can Love

This here track is a demo for a movie soundtrack. The main character is injured in an explosion. As he lies on the ground in shock, images and recollections flash through his head. The lyrics, in describing this experience, are somewhat fragmented. Mostly the theme centers around his love interest back home and his desire to see her again. The lyrics also describe scenes from the movie. This is a very early version of this song. Expect more versions as the song develops. I played this on a thirty year old Taylor guitar.

Wooly Bear is a caterpillar who is orange/brown with a black waist. He's called a wooly bear because he looks like a wooly bear. This instrumental is played on a 1934 Dobro prototype.

Wooly Bear

A song dedicated to my son and all the other sons, fathers and parents that share a strong, loving and undying bond with each other. It's an ode, a poem, a message set to melodic, spacey folk music.

The Ballad of Big Bear Lake for Viola and  Piano

The Ballad of Big Bear Lake for Viola and Piano

"Utah Beginnings" - Track 1 from "Echoes of a Life"

A folk ballad that opens in the heart of Utah's Wasatch Mountains, where childhood innocence meets family complexity. Set in Payson against the backdrop of mining country, this song weaves together the story of an unexpected fifth son, hardworking parents, and the changing tides of family life. With gentle acoustic guitar, piano, and contemplative male vocals, the track captures seven years of early memories - from a doctor grandfather's delivery room to a mother's late-night waitressing shifts and a father's work in the mines.

This opening track sets the stage for a larger musical journey through time and place, blending personal history with the majestic landscape of Utah's mountain country. Influenced by the storytelling traditions of folk music, "Utah Beginnings" paints a portrait of both innocence and understanding, as seen through the eyes of both child and adult.

Utah Beginnings

WILDFIRE (CHIEF NIWOT’S CURSE)


Wildfire spread
August 21st
Blaze lit up the town
You could hear a daughter’s father’s prayers
All the years
Burning just the same
All the years
Burning just the same

Steel hummingbirds    
With red chemicals
Call in the volunteers
Gotta carry on the town

Oh, but it spread
Oh, but it spread
You can hear the townsfolk scream,
“This is my town,
Don’t let it go down.
Don’t let it burn,
Don’t let it burn down”

 Safe in a mind where a place has no time
Wake up to find out that
You’ve been left behind
Where have they gone?
Those times we sing about
Burning embers
Decay to the dawn

Time will tell
The heroes from the fallen
Dream your dream
Let it rise with the morning sun

Hello world! 

My name is Ella Wren Running-rabbit. I’m an enrolled member of the Muscogee(Creek) Nation and have been writing songs from my heart since I was just a child. Lyrics come naturally to me and I have learned to accompany myself with self taught guitar or piano. 

I grew up with heavy bluegrass and blues rock influence, and got to watch many talented musicians from my area like Leftover Salmon, Elephant Revival, Fruition, The Gasoline Lollipops, and many others blossom into local fame and all of them have inspired me to take the musical path more seriously. 

So here I am! A small town girl who was born at home and has lived off the grid for her whole life, way up in the mountains of Colorado. Here are my songs. Sometimes played with friends, which I will always mention. I express them proudly to you, so I hope you enjoy them and that they cause you to connect deeper to a part of yourself and/or the world around you. 

With all my love and gratitude,
Ella Wren
