TropeNamer for RedRightHand.

!! Tropes written by someone without a red right hand

* AlbumTitleDrop: "I Let Love In".
* AlliterativeTitle: "Jangling Jack", "Red Right Hand"
* AntiLoveSong: "Do You Love Me?"
* BreakUpSong: "Ain't Gonna Rain Anymore".
* BookEnds: ''Let Love In'' ends with a reprisal of the first song "Do You Love Me?". The former song describes an abusive relationship with a woman, the latter [[spoiler: [[FreudianExcuse the character's molestation as a child]]. ]]
* CallBack: The first song on the album ''Murder Ballads'', "Song of Joy" (About a man telling the story of how his wife and daughters were murdered by a serial killer) has two back to the previous album ''Let Love In''. The first is the speaker using the phrase "All things move towards their end", which is a phrase used similarly in the song "Do You Love Me?". Another during his description of the murder scene, where the killer has used blood to write the words "His RedRightHand" on the wall. This is cited as a reference to Creator/JohnMilton's Literature/ParadiseLost, but is also a reference to the song "Red Right Hand".
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: "Nobody's Baby Now" in which the protagonist has read several religious texts and travelled the world, but alas.
* MommasBoy: Jangling Jack says: "Momma, momma, is that you?"
* MurderBallad: It may be easier to name the songs that aren't ones.
* MysteriousStranger: The long tall man in "Red Right Hand".
* ObsessionSong: "Let Love In".
* OneManSong: "Loverman", "Jangling Jack".

(The song was inspired by Creator/JohnMilton's use of the phrase...which was, despite the vaguely Satanic implications of much of the uses of the trope and indeed the song itself, referencing ''God''.)
