Ren - Hi Ren (Official Music Video)
Hi Ren is out now on all streaming platforms
renmakesmusic.lnk.to/hiren
Creating this song wasn't easy, but I'm so proud of how it turned out.
Want to say a big thank you for everyones support over the years. During the years trapped inside with chronic health problems the main thing that kept me going was a belief that one day I would come out the other side, and be able to achieve success through music. I don’t have a label, and sometimes pushing these things as hard as I want becomes a massive challenge, and I find myself frustrated that there aren’t enough hours in the day to push it as far as I want to. I would love to ask a favour to anyone who has ever enjoyed my music over the years, and it will only take a few minutes of your day.It would mean the world to me if you shared ‘Hi Ren’ as much as you can, over social media platforms, with friends, over email. Together, and with your help I can hopefully reach people all over the world, and get one step closer to the dream I always had! Thank you so much for the support so far!

Pre-order the Sick Boi album by clicking this link! bio.to/Ren-Sick-Boi As always here are the lyrics for anyone who wants them, thankyou so much for watching this, really proud of it, im doing everything independently so if it moved you in someway it would mean the world to me if you gave it a share as it will help spread it all over the world :) Also out on streaming platforms too! renmakesmusic.lnk.to/hiren Hi there Ren It's been a little while, Did you miss me? You thought you’d buried me, didn't you? Risky… Because I always come back Deep down you know that… Deep down you know I'm always in periphery Ren aren't you pleased to see me? it's been weeks since we spoke bro, you know you need me You’re the sheep, I'm the shepherd Not your place to lead me Not your place to be biting off the hand that feeds me Hi Ren I’ve been taking some time to be distant I’ve been taking some time to be still I've been taking some time to be by myself since my therapist told me I'm ill I've been making some progress lately, and I've learnt some new coping skills So I haven't really needed you much man I think we need to just step back and chill Ren, you sound more insane than I do You think that those doctors are really there to guide you? Been through this a million times Your civilian mind is so perfect at always being lied to Okay, take another pill boy Drown yourself in the sound of white noise Follow this 10 step program, rejoice! All your problems will be gone! Fucking dumb boy Nah mate, this time it's different man trust me I feel like things might be falling in place And my music's been kinda doing bits too Like I actually might do something great And when I'm gone maybe I'll be remembered For doing something special with myself That's why I don't think that we should talk man Cause when your with me it never seems to help You think that you can amputate me? I am you, you are me, you are I, I am we We are one, split in two that makes one so you see You got to kill you if you wanna kill me. I'm not left over dinner, I’m not scraps on the side, oh your music is thriving? Delusional guy! Where's your top ten hit? Where's your interview with Oprah? Where are your grammes Ren? Nowhere! Yeah but, my music's not commercial like that I never chased numbers, statistics or stats I Never write hooks for the radio, they never even play me so why would Iconcernn myself with that? But my music is really connecting, And the people who find it respect it , And for me that's enough ‘cause this life's been tough so it gives me a purpose I can rest in Man you sound so pretentious ! Ren your music is so self centred, No one wants to hear another song about how much you hate yourself… trust me You should be so lucky having me inside you to guide you, remind you to manage expectations, provide you perspective, that thing you neglected, I get it You wana be a big deal… Next jimi hendrix? forget it Man it's not like that Man it's just like that I'm inside you you twat Nah it's not man your wrong, when I write I belong Let me break the fourth wall by acknowledging this song Ren sits down, Has a stroke of genius, He wants to write a song that was not done previous A battle with his subconscious… Eminem did it Played on guitar Plan B did it Man your not original you criminal, rip off artist, the pinnacle of your success is stealing other people's material Ren mate we've heard it all before Ohh "she sell sea shells on the sea shore" Fuck you I don't need you, I don't need to hear this, cause I'm fine by myself, I'm a genius! and I will be great, and I will make waves, and ill shake up the whole world beneath us That's right speak your truth, your fucking god complex leaks out of you It's refreshing to actually hear you say it! In stead of down play it… “Oh the music Is all about the creative process and if people can find something to relate to within that the that's just a bonus” Fuck you ima fucking kill you Ren Well fucking kill me then let's fucking have you Ren I'm a do it, watch me prove it, who are you to doubt my music? ‘Cause I call the shots I choose if you die Yeah I call the shots and so i who choose who survives I'll tie you up in knots then I'll lock you inside News flash… I was created at the dawn of creation, I am temptation I am the snake in Eden, I am the reason for treason Beheading all Kings, I am sin with no rhyme or reason, Sun of the morning, Lucifer, Antichrist, father of lies, Mestophilies, Truth in a blender, Deceitful pretender, The Banished avenger, The righteous surrender When standing in-front of my solar eclipse, My name it is stitched to your lips so see I won't bow to the will of a mortal, feeble and normal You wana kill me? I'm enteral, immortal I live in every decision that catalysed chaos That causes division I live inside death, the beginning of ends I am you, you are me, I am you Ren Hi Ren… I’ve been taking some time to be distant, I’ve been taking some time to be still I’ve been taking some time to be by myself and I've spent half my life ill But just as sure as the tide start turning Just as sure as the night has dawn Just as sure as rain fall soon runs dry when you stand in the eye of the storm I was made to be tested and twisted I was made to be broken and beat I was made by his hand, it's all part of the plan that I stand on my own two feet And you know me my will is eternal And you know me you've met Me before Face to with a beast I will rise from the east and I'll settle on the ocean floor And I go by many names also Some people know me as hope Some people know me as the voice that you hear when u loosen the noose on the rope And you know how I know how I know that I'll prosper? Because I stand here beside you today I have stood in the flames that cremated my brain And I didn't once flinch or shake So cower at the man I've become When I sing from the top of my lungs That I won't retire I'll stand in your fire inspire the meek to be strong And when I am gone I will rise In the music that I left behind Ferocious persistent, immortal like you we’re a coin with two different sides When I was 17 years old I shouted out into an empty room, into a blank canvas, that I would defeat the forces of evil, and for the next 10 years of my life I suffered the consequences... With Illness, autoimmunity and psychosis As I got older I realised that there were no real winners or no real losers in physiological warfare But there were victims and there were students It wasn’t David verses Goliath, it's was a pendulum eternally swaying between the dark and the light, and the brighter the light shone, the darker the shadow it cast It was never a battle for me to win, it was an eternal dance, and like a dance, the more rigid I became the harder it got The more I cursed my clumsy footsteps the more i suffered And so I got older and I learned to relax, and I learned to soften, and that dance got easier It is this eternal waltz that separates human beings from angels, from demons, from gods And I must not forget, we must not forget, that we are human beings.
Fking genius ❤
My guy this art of yours comes in so many forms
Hi ren :D
I'm so grateful that I found you , holy that recommendation changed my life. Thank you, Ren
Utterly brilliant mate. Needed this. Thankyou.
I’m just a 73 year old man who over my years on this earth have learned to appreciate all forms and styles of music. I rarely comment on the majority of artists I have stumbled upon in my search for good music but you sir are one of those very rare artists that I’ve heard who can span the distance of age. Your music, style and emotion in your performance is refreshing to this old man and my belief in the younger generation of musical artists. I look very much forward to listening to more of your creations, for they are not mere songs that you share, they are life.
🙏✨️
It was interesting to say the least. I enjoyed it and love acoustic guitar. Bravo young man and best wishes. Tee in USA
Uncle Bill, this can't be explained better.. Thanks for your kind thoughts..🥰
stay safe king keep exploring till you drop dead, love you
I'm almost that elderly. I don't think this has to do with age this is a just really good artist.
This is no longer a song. This is no longer music. This is a soul splitting open and exploding into art.
beautifully put
Truth
This is life
this is america
I was thinking “of course! Music is art😊” but now 5:04 … I understand what you mean 😶
In 9 minutes and 20 seconds, I went from Smiling > Laughing > Empathizing > Appreciating > Enjoying > Respecting > Marveling > Feeling Disrupted > Feeling Inspired > and … CRYING… and then when the song ended, sitting speechless for a long while. This is the first time I have come across your music, and you are right, you are a GENIUS! Better yet, you’re a captivating artistic genius! Thank you for putting this into the world! WOW!
I was quite literally "floored" when I heard/saw this for the first time.
That was exactly my response to ❤
Me also.
My brother showed me this last night and I was captivated. The guitar skill (bass player 25+ years) with singing and rapping around... the tone, the dissonance, the timing, the lyrics... this WILL be timeless. Hi Ren, we relate to you, and all that you do, hi friend, whether you're there or you're not, we stand with you.
I’m 60, a musician and producer and I’ve heard so many great songs. But this is the most important piece of music I’ve ever heard. Period. The world has changed, but most people just don’t know it yet.
I'm 10yrs older than yourself , seen it all , as they say . I've been around a lot of Live-music and thoroughly-agree with you about this-mans music . This is the year that people will realise just how-big this World-Change is . They better 'hang-on-to-their-hats' eh...Dave nz
@@kdsowen2882 Damn right!
im 600 and i also enjoy this because how old we are matters
Not at all to take away from Ren, but I would also point you into the direction of Jon Gomm, especially his song "Telepathy"
And Jon Gomm "everything" Ren is an absolute artist, but just in case you may be looking for very emotionally driven guitarist/vocalists
Up until I was 9 years old, I would intermittently hear a voice in my head that was not my own. The voice was distinctly different to mine, and always negative. It would self criticise or urge me to do things I knew to be morally wrong. The most peculiar thing about the voice was that it took no effort on my behalf to produce. My own thoughts always felt like there was a process that required effort to bring them to the forefront of my mind, this voice appeared as though it was spoken by another. The sentences felt predetermined like they had already been constructed. I remember very vividly at 9 years old, becoming very frustrated with the voice. I stood in my back yard, internally screaming at the voice to be silent again and again, and it did. In a flash there was silence, to the point where my head felt like an empty room. I wasn't used to the quiet and that voice never returned. It almost felt lonely in my head. When I got older I had intermittent bouts with auditory hallucinations where I would hear perfect symphonies, usually at night when drifting off to sleep. They were so clear that they sounded like they were emanating from a radio in the corner of my room. I knew they weren't there, but for some reason they never came with the feeling of fear. I also recall sitting on a bus at the age of 15, and hearing the sound of a crowded room, with about 100 voices chattering away, I was the only person apart from the driver on the bus. These experiences were always very brief, and few and far between. My last hallucination was during an intense bout of psychosis in 2015, and was my first visual hallucination. I was walking down a pavement after jumping out my mums car in a crossroads in a moment of frustration and distress with my condition. I was trying to run from myself. What appeared to be a homeless man with a dark complexion approached me, and asked me what was wrong. I explained that I had been sick most my life, and I wasn't sure I had the strength to continue. He looked at me, and smiled and told me 'everything is going to be okay in the end Ren.' I had not told him my name. There was something so overpoweringly sincere about this very simple message, which brought with it an overwhelming feeling of inner peace, and in a flash, he vanished. My rational brain always linked these experiences to what the doctors have told me, that there are parts of my brain compromised by the autoimmunity in my body. That the myelin sheaths surrounding the complex electrical system that conduct my thoughts were damaged and compromised, causing these lucid experiences that I knew did not exist inside the physical world. The part of me that edges away from logical and rational thought always attributed these thoughts to some kind of otherworldly intervention, that made my thoughts the battleground of some spiritual tug of war. For a long time I never really acknowledged this part of myself, for with it brought the danger and stigma of sounding like a crazy person. I decided with my latest release, to the best of my ability, to capture and express this chess match of thought. Hi Ren comes out in just over 24 hours. I can't wait for you all to hear it.
Ren these words mean more to me than you'd ever understand. The fact you silenced that voice in your head gives me hope that I can too. Please keep on fighting. The world needs you. I've recently discovered you and TBP and you've changed my perception in ways I don't understand yet.
Can't wait, also that's very deep and I appreciate you being so open, we need that in today's world where we are supposed to be strong and independent, we need to hear about others struggles in order to deal with our own, we need to help each other.
I will add a quick story to show why being open helps others. I was trapped in a hole that I was lowered in a cage to do some work. Utter catastrophe happened and water started filling the hole. I couldn't get to the cage to get raised, I resigned to I was going to die. Luckily it got solved before I drown, I got out eventually puked out of shock and was never the same. However I didn't think about the people watching from up top, they thought they were going to watch a man die and they didn't speak about it. Not until group therapy years later and with me being completely open and crying did one guy finally let go, "I thought I was going to watch you die" saying that out loud helped him and even me understand his animosity towards me. Being vulnerable allows others to also be vulnerable and that is not a bd thing. Thank you for sharing ren, I'm sure it's going to be an amazing video
@@bookerwills8649 I'm glad you're still with us to share this story. Your story is an affirmation to my core value in life. Every interaction we have with each other is a "two way street". Travel down the other person's path before you judge or come to conclusions. If more people would Sonder this world would be a better place.
REN do u think it's a help or a hindrance when it comes to making music ? , I'm not saying it has to be one or the other just wondered if either happens to be the case
I wanted to make this track one of the most honest and raw pieces i've made. All live stripped back with just me and a guitar, It's probably my proudest works to date, and I cant wait for you guys to see it, remember to turn on the notifications button to be reminded to join me at the premier next Thursday at 7pm GMT. See you guys there. So excited for you guys to see this
So excited!!!! ❤️
Your work is always 💯 I like music again because of you👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
so excited to be here for this 🤍
Can't wait!
Wowza! I am looking forward to hearing this one, but cannot figure out how to join the wait. You pur so much of your soul into your music it's inspiring. Hopefully I'll stumble on a busk one day!
Oh my God. I am just hearing this for the first time and I am speaking the truth when I say this is one of the most beautiful works of art I have ever witnessed. You sir, are an amazing artist. There isn't one person on this earth who can't identify with this song. Simply perfect. Bravo.
I don't know how I ended up here, but I am so glad I did... What a piece of art.
"The people who find it respect it." Indeed.
Truth. Thanks to whatever youtube reactor who introduced me to Ren ❤
Found this guy about a month ago and i can’t stop listening. He’s so goddamned good. He touches a ton of different genres too. I’ve been so bored with music the last couple years, which is a shame since I’ve been a musician since I could hold a trumpet at 5. Ren had me actually feeling beats again.
clever, Mackey!!! Love it bro. If people listen to this master piece n say its not brilliant then they clearly dont know jack about music n talent. so as u say RESPECT IT!!!!!! nuff love bro natalie xx
I am a psychiatric nurse. I actually learned about you from another psych. nurse. Your music is spreading and inspiring both patients and staff. Thank you for doing this. It makes a difference. It really does.
Thank you for your comment, and your contribution to helping others find wellness! If I may share, for the years that my Lyme disease was misdiagnosed, many of my symptoms showed up as psychological and neurological. I feel so grateful to have come through the other side (7 years later) and this song really inspires me to appreciate the darkness of my past as I journey in to the light. Bless!
Amazing
This is amazing
Hi Phoenix. We taught together in Ulsan about a decade ago. It's insane to come across your name on a random youtube video. Hope all is well - Lee Teacher.
I’ve written and unwritten what I want to say but my words are so 😮, so Human ! Felt very un-alone and that someone -a Human gets it ! Thank you ☺️ Keep making waves and shaking the world ❤
this was a wild experience, thank you
It took me 56 years to get to listen to your song. It took me 56 years of imbalance, turmoil and strife, only for my life to begin again. This song and your performance, Ren, has had a profound effect on me. It has stirred feelings in me I never knew existed. Thank you. You're an inspiration.
I have come to the conclusion that this performance should win both a Grammy and an Oscar!
Fuck no! Why would we want to tarnish this artist with Hollyweird satanic ritualism and have this amazing artist involved with an evil group of has been's.
It's won hearts and minds. That's powerful.
oscars are for acting and this is real and raw no acting needed
I agree 😎❤️
RIGHT! It's like a stage play on Broadway... better add a Tony award too!!! 😁
When this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and then jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - In the Moment” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you ❤️😊
I was homeless too when I heard this. A lot can change I 18 months 😊
Mate, what a fucking track. I've no words. Here in Australia I'm a mental health & AOD peer support worker, both in community & an acute, inpatient setting. My lived/living experience does not include audio & visual hallucinations (that I didn't seek deliberately with substance) so I have always felt ill-equipt to support our consumers who live with this. I have tried to understand, to some degree, this condition but with very little success. This piece of artistic expression has given me a far greater understanding of this experience than I've been able to get from any conversations I've had. Certainly conversations had with doctors but also conversations with consumers. While I want to know, I want to understand as much as I can without experiencing, I don't feel comfortable to explore a consumers world too deeply. Thank you brother for allowing me to sit here and get even a small understanding (far more than I had previous). The Universe is ours to play in and with all the injustice in the world, bless you for the justice in the way you commentate/referee this part of the game for us 🙏🏼 Almost forgot. It says your album (vinyl) is not in stock and it will let me know. Will it be reprinted? 🤞🏼 I would absolutely love to have your work on vinyl, if possible. Keep dancin' brother ✌🏼
I commented under one of Ren's other songs talking about my depression. I have never seen so much support from another community online. YOU GUYS (including Ren) are the real treasure. Keep being awesome, the world needs you!
Just remember that sadness is different from depression... ;) 💕
World needs you too ❤

@@robindevoh 🙏🖤
damn man/mann't that's so nice, It's so nice to hear that you were heard, being heard is a huuuugeeee step, especially if you feel heard, to me it's 70% of the way of recovery. I hope you're doing better than you did a month ago. Don't tell yourself you need to improve everyday, sometimes there is a setback, which isn't back to 0, but back to the last point, it's okay and you'll do it, i have no clue who you are, but the fact that you are even thinking about if you're worth it, makes you worth it. You're great
It doesn't even feel like 9 minutes, what an amazing track
Thankuu ❤️
@@RenMakesMusic Love from Portugal! 🇵🇹
especially when the playback speed us 1.75
When the song stopped i waited for the second part because i thought that only 2 minutes has passed
Such a universal timeless sequence. ♥Gorgeous piece.
I watched this for the first time 2 weeks ago. Since then I’ve watched every video on this channel and listened to every song I could find. I have POTS, EDS and a kidney disease. I can only stand for about 10 minutes before almost passing out. Also, due to a bad reaction to some meds, I’ve also dealt with psychosis. I am beyond thankful to see someone writing about experiences like mine. I’ve cried more in the last 2 weeks watching and listening to Ren more than I’ve ever cried for any music before all combined. I’m absolutely astonished. Thank you for everything you’ve done, Ren.
I read about this artist in a Reddit thread that was discussing music. The comment specifically mentioned this song. It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen something this authentic and powerful. The emotion and the passion with how you express yourself in these lyrics is phenomenal. This is a masterpiece and it’s wonderful to see that your song has touched so many people ❤
Ren, Im a 38 year old U.S. Navy Corpsman who has been dealing with PTSD and i cant ever tell anyone how it feels to be at battle with your own insides but your song makes to so clear what its like and i cant thank you enough or your words they are beyond worthy of any award in the world but i hope my thanks is enough at this moment.
Just from some of the lyrics, I feel confident that this kind of feedback is the highest praise and satisfaction that a true, big hearted artist like this could ever want or hope for. Connection with other humans over industry praise!
37yr old Army Vet here with PTSD and severe anxiety. Ditto to your comment
Jesse, I just wanted to day thanks for your service. I was lucky enough to work with you guys during my time at NASWI SAR as a PR. You guys are seriously appreciated. Take care ! I love this song and it does help ground me when the anxiety kicks in.
He's fukin awesome. Off the scale. David Bowie would feel inferior hearing this guy
🤗
- you did something great - you will be remembered - you did something special - your music is really connected - your music is respected - you made waves - you shaked the world - you are hope
Absolute truth 💯
👌
Much Respect 🙏
I think you are a quiet genius I can’t reply to that main thread But I want you to know You are a Quiet genius I respect this song. I don’t know you so. Can’t pretend But this…..
Well said
I wish I had discovered this song 3 weeks ago. My Dad (step but my Dad my whole life) has struggled with mental health issues for a very long time. He hung himself on the 11th. If I had seen this then, I would have sent it to him. He was an incredible man. He was insanely intelligent and he was a musician like you. He had actually gotten back together and played with his band again a couple weeks before (back in the day he played guitar and sang). Though he worried he wouldn't be able to sing well enough ever again. But at least that brought him a little bit of joy in the week leading up. I know that he would have appreciated this song so much. I'm almost positive that it would have resonated with him. And idk I just feel that maybe if I had sent this, it could have given him hope and strength. Maybe filled him with motivation to overcome. I guess I'll never know and there is no point in wondering. But just know I appreciate this song entirely. It also gives me a bit of hope.
So sorry for your loss 😢
im sorry for your loss. may peace be with you 🩷
In it’s own special way, a very clever arrow. Thank you, My Friend.
I’m a therapist in my 60’s, this dragged me from high to low to high again, just like the pendulum Ren describes. Standing ovation from me 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
As hard as it is to live with constant swing from light to dark… think how much more it would take to cope with constant mediocre greyness!
Oh, you like music from retards?
My little Brothers name is REN. Ren went missing and I thought he was dead. I searched the internet high and low for clues and then I came upon your video HI-REN. It was as if My brother was singing his personal Anthem. You share his name and his struggle. After 5 months I found my brother safe. I shared with him this video, we watched it together and cried from the deepest part of our souls. Your message is so needed in this chaotic world and HOPE is the light we look to. In pure gratitude for your gift…. Thank you Ren.
❤
A tangible, believable, soul-piercing HOPE
❤

Bullshit.
Just found this song by accident and have been listening to it on repeat for the whole day. This song isn't just music but it connects to the listeners soul and tells them a deep meaningful story.
My son who is a marine sent me this song and asked me to watch it. I did and immediately loved it. You did a phenomenal job with this song, and I am so proud of you! Awesomeness!!!
This isn't a song. It's a journey through the struggle of the mind.
You are so right! But yet, it's also so much more as well. It's a shadow dance tour of the human condition from the rafters through to the sub-basement. It's effing transcendent!
Many it'll go over their heads
I think it's amazing you might think it's a journey but it makes it better ❤
Its a peice of art, and a needed one
This music reflects most humanely what life is to words, the way man speaks of faults with conviction makes one feel heared and felt
It's like Shakespeare was reborn, learnt guitar, wrote a rap lyric, and staged his own performance. Stupendous.
It's absolutely beautiful
as theyd say in PULP FICTION 2. “This some mozart shit right here“
even higher then stupendous , soul shaking, mind blowing truth from both sides of pendulum. really great@ 65 I am still amazed by some music and this IS ONE OF THOSE ! FOR SURE !
Absolutely not
@@SS-rr7by lol, thanks for the feedback 😉
I am also called Ren, and that's probably the only reason I found this masterpiece...scrolling thru vids until I saw 'HI REN' and from that moment I was captured. This was amazing! I can't wait to hear more. Thanks Ren.
Update: Ren was played on the radio today, Sick Boi sounded at BBC6music ❤
HELL YEAAAA!!
"And the people who find it respect it." Facts Ren. Facts.
Facts
When a 9+ minute song feels like it’s 30 seconds. Phenomenal. I got chills.
I didn't even realize how long it was until I read your comment. Wow, yeah. I was mesmerized
@@kelseychatski7046 I was absolutely gobsmacked by this video! It went from curious imagery to humorous chorus/hook to skillful sophistry to spiritually uplifting affirmation of humanity. Who the hell is this guy? How have I not heard of him before? Where can I listen to more of him? Brilliant, just brilliant!!!
yoooooooooooooooo
This is right up there with Buckley’s Hallelujah. Took my breath away. Standing ovation from me by the time he got to the “hope” segment (when he stands), because he didn’t drop the ball, he raised the bar, and then that speech at the end, left me speechless. This is genius. Congratulations on this masterpiece.
This song is my life. This song is my mantra. This song has saved me through my darkest times.. Renegades unite! 🙏🏻❤
I teach computer programming on my channel and this is the first time I’ve shared a non-programming related video on my community feed because I felt like it had such a good message for folks to hear. Really respect the art of this song man. Thanks so much for sharing.
Appreciate that Corey and I'm glad the song connected!!!!
Came from that post!
Thanks for sharing, Corey. I don't think I was ever so confused and amazed at the same time.
@coreyms, lol, I've just been watching your Pandas tutorial.
We r here because of you !!
Fucking perfect. Concept. Performance. Lyrics. Message. Cinematography. Deserves a Grammy. Bravo!
Taylor Swift deserves a Grammy. Ren is so far above that garbage.
@@iamwhoyousayiam6773 can't say I agree regarding Taylor Swift deserving a Grammy, but I definitely agree Ren is above all that... this is ART & I love it! Incredible talent! 💙
Thinking you mean Swift in NO WAY deserves a Grammy?? No way you could commend this dude then think she deserves any accolation for the crap she puts out! 🙄🤮@@iamwhoyousayiam6773
And to think a crap song about gushy wet twats got best song of the year.... makes me want to puke that it was even played once, anywhere. But this was utter fantastico.
LOVE THIS SONG, LOVE YOU, LOVE YOUR MESSAGE, ART, TALENT, SOUL. ❤
By far one of the best songs I've ever listened to. It really touched my soul & that never happens. Thank you for that. Thank you for making a song that is so freaking deep. This was the very first song I'd heard by this artist and it automatically made me a fan.
His music is so on point for a person who deals with a voice of self doubt I find that a relief indeed
"You gotta kill you if you wanna kill me" that line always hits me like a freight train.
Since this song comes out, everyday. We got more to live for though.
"loosen the noose on the rope"
amazing song, but thats kind of stolen from Nf
This is a moment! You have done your part! It’s up to the rest of us to bring you to fruition! Well done! We are so lucky and thankful for artists like you who can make a difference in the world
But then you may have to kill me! As I am you!
I am a woman in my seventies. I gave up on today’s music , for some years now, then last week, I heard Ren!! I haven’t felt so excited, inspired and enthralled by music, since I first heard David Bowie in the 70’s...... he said, Rock was the art form of the working class.... I think Ren just gave a voice to a whole generation of disenfranchised young people of today, and those of all ages struggling with their own mental health..... deep and wonderful , thank you Ren ❤️
He speaks for so many of us…
U ain't 70 lol
@@n0l1f3music you don’t actually have no life
Calm down ol' hag
I am a man in my 30s who'd also given up. I missed the story telling. The movie like aspect music used to carry. Growing up on marty robbins and the like there was a story for the song. This blows me away and makes me so happy that the story telling and meaningful music isn't dead. We're not limited to a beat and some words. Thank you to Ren
There are no words to express the gratitude that I hold for You sharing your gift with us.
Ren, as a physician I would like to thank you for this monumental exploration of the human condition. This is exactly what those of us that have suffered with psychic distress needed. Shame on CNN and their editorial and journalistic malpractice in creating the impression that your music is somehow dangerous to those having suicidal ideation. Of course, anything and anyone can be blamed for romanticizing self-harm but in my professional opinion, there is a greater therapeutic healing associated with an honest approach to this subject. CNN should be ashamed of themselves.
One must first be self-aware to be ashamed 😁
@@mishterpreshident BINGO!
What the hell! CNN criticized this artists music as being dangerous?? But this song is such a great powerful message. Wow SMH
CNN? Why watch drivel? Why watch dishonest journalism? Why watch television period!?!
Yes they should. If they listened to Chalk Outlines they could see a little deeper. But CNN doesn't want healing, let's be real.
This is an incredible piece of art. So proud of you, Ren. Stay strong for us.
Thanku means a lot :)
@@RenMakesMusic Hi Ren. Thanks for the amazing art. You know this wont go viral in these decades of fakeness and lies. People wear masks many faces at different places and times and The devil took the light wear it looks like the angels are actually the devils now.. and they might stabbing your back.. confusing and complicated this world is these days its kinda annoying. Like the world is upside down now. Alot of things are still wrong. Needs to be fixed. But will someone fixed it? Anyone? Who knows. A Hero Maybe. Someone. No one. You know, "Too much love will kill you." - Brian May Yeah too much colors. Too many rules we break. Whats the difference with animals? They live with no rules so... yeah And i think... I want to break those masks. Yeah its sounds silly and naive. But Thats one of my dreams in the future. I know this aint goin any easy. But Ill try my worst to make it all come true. Anyway. And you Thank you I wont forget you and your amazing work of art. Really amazing. It wont go viral no but it will have much respect from me and other big fans of yours. Its the path of music you choosed this one. Amazing. Just. Wow. 🙏🏻👍🏻
And for yourself.
I agree
I was recently diagnosed with bipolar 1 after struggling with mania and depression for the last 15 years. This song does such a good job of describing the extreme ups and downs. Thank you.
Ren, this is absolutely amazing. I am a mental health therapist and I have never seen such a perfectly captured depiction of this battle that so many face in the world. There are certainly more worlds than we see. You will be heard by so many and give hope through the comfort of "it is not just me". Thank you and your universe for this!!
You saved the life of a young man I worry about. I'm a retired teacher and after bumping into him in town, I sent him this. I envisage a huge crowd marching on Parliament to stop the attack on the NHS funding for young people's mental health with everyone singing this together. You have given me, an old lady hope. To see this amount of passion and determination in the younger generation is exhilarating. But more than that Ren - you saved a life.
My heart just exploded in the most beautiful way. 💛
To save a life is a monumental thing for anyone to do but to help many more to feel better about themselves and maybe save many more to realise death is inevitable but the longer you hang in there the better the chances of seeing there can be more to hang on to and find your own place in the world. Ren has an ability to do this and so do we all.
I think *you* saved that life x
Love your music bro n ya spirit it’s inspiring in this mad world! Much love bro
You saved him too
As a war veteran with brain injuries, many demons, and constant rumination this speaks to me. Thanks for this.
Demons gotta go bro.

Thank you for your service
@@christicameron1314Demons are ever present. The trick is becoming stronger than them.
@@christicameron1314 No, they won't go. You cannot win, you cannot let the demon go. You can embrace them and integrate them and when succesful in controlling the demon it will become less. However the demon will always remain, the demon always has been there. Trauma make the demon very loud and persistent. @OP thx for your service and the best of whishes in your future.
Hi Ren, I swear your song has helped me so much and I came here just to tell you this and to listen to your song another time. I think this song might be just the thing to pull me out. It gives me hope. That I can live with that side of me someday, even if there will still be bad days. Or bad weeks. Or bad months. Your songwriting and overall composing of the entire song got me to finally believe it for once, when I tell myself it'll be alright. So thank you so much and I hope you reach the goals in your life you have in mind, that you may have the future you wanted and that you will be happy. ❤
I swear I could keep on writing forever about how much I love this song and everything about it. You made a masterpiece. Sorry... I really can't shut up about it. I've been telling everybody and I don't feel like I will stop 😂 Sorry Ren if it's a lot to read, if you will even get to read this... I hope you have a good night and that luck will be on your side :)
I just discovered you and all I can say is thank you for being you and sharing your beautiful soul with us. My life issues pale in comparison to what you have been through. Like so many others have surely told you, your music connects, it touches something deep. Your line about it being a dance, I think about that now when my anxiety and nerves go wild on me and I start over thinking and dwelling on things I shouldn't. Thank you for reminding me I shouldn't curse my clumsy steps and to learn to dance.
I was done. Finished. Ready to check out. My military career, over. My children, raised. I was okay with becoming a statistic. I wondered, “where will I fall? 18, 12….22?” Then this song popped into my feed. Thank you Ren. Your song was like a friend reaching out in the dark to grab me just before I fall into the sweet abyss. I know there’s a lot of work ahead…but I have to save myself…I deserve being saved. Thank you. Your music is saving lives. Big love to you!
That is awesome, this to me is what should be felt, Ren is sharing and creating more awareness. We are not alone!
Hope: “The voice that u hear when u loosen the noose on the rope” That verse hit me hard. He also has a song about suicide. Perhaps it could help u too.
@@sesamesheltonst5197 which song is it? I’d love to know. I’ve only just now discovered Ren.
Be strong keep going good luck ❤xxx
You deserve to be saved. And loved. Please hold on, if not for yourself, for your family. And if you can hold on for them, eventually, you can see enough to hold onto yourself. You are not alone. Ever!
I come back to this song regularly to remind myself to not give up. I'm a 43yo single dad who's been raising 3 girls for mostly on my own for the last 10 years. I've been to the darkest depths of my mind and have been on the edge of giving up too many times. This song reminds me that I'm not alone and I'm stronger than I've led myself to believe. My eyes have leaked countless times while listening to this song. I can't put into words how this song truly effects me. One of these days I hope to give you a hug and shake your hand.
Hang in there. Your strength shines light on the path that helps guide others on when they thought their light was dimming out. Sometimes it takes just a few more steps to get through the darkness and sometimes it’s a hike. If you can find it in you self to see the experience as just that and the lesson being taught that gives you the ability to be the one to help the one’s experiencing similar, the comfort to know you are stronger than you believe and that even though it’s hard to convince ourselves but everything has a way of working out if we do the things we know we need to do. One love my brother
42 yo full time single mom of 2 boys for the last 6 years. I feeeeeeel you. Totally worth it but damn. It is THE lonliest, hardest thing I have ever done. Don't give up.
As a daughter whose father attempted suicide 2 when I was 8 and my mother once as part of post-partum psychosis. You are fighting an impossible battle, but your family will support you and count on you. I hope you be well. Your children will be grateful you are here for their graduations, weddings and life moments.
As a daughter that grew up. I love my daddy. Hang in there I know it's hard
Do you realize the number of people that instantly connected to your vulnerability? You're not alone.
This song was sent to me by a close friend. I didn’t listen to it right away. Then I found it when attempting to kick opioids. I then listened to other songs and absolutely fell in love with not only the lyrics ( which are next level ) but the way the music is played and put together. I can relate to many of the songs and the stories. Thanks for sharing yourself so openly. No easy task !! But the way you do it is magical. !
I'm 54 years old. I struggle this day. Tears in my eyes good luck with the struggle. I'm enjoying your songs videos, a breath of fresh thought. Be strong👍🇨🇦
I work in Suicide Prevention I will be definitely telling callers to listen to your song. I think this song will understand we all have darkness and light and we have to learn the dance and appreciate ourselves. I think this song will help them. ❤️
Helen, take the next step and see that there's no dancer. Just the dance.☯
Absolutely no doubt. This young lad is a genius. He is not only innately talented, but is clever and has such wisdom ,as to true this round and use it to his advantage . So many messages in this track for us all.
As a diagnosed DID person who deals a lot with these thougths i can say It does help. It shows that there are people who understand and that these peoples are able to finds the words we couldn't .
Love your work, keep on sharing, this song saves lives. #Ren thankyou
And to think that CNN falsely claimed that "Hi Ren" endorsed suicide. How wrong they are.
I'm a combat vet that suffers from PTSD, depression and bipolar. And with all the doctors I had I felt never understood me, but with this one song I felt I finally found someone that gets me. Thank you for this masterpiece.
Man. First. Thank you for your sacrifice and service. Please keep your head up keep fighting the fight.
this doesnt add up, you wouldnt have been a soldier with bipolar
@@Dpreest maybe not diagnosed till after
@@Dpreest very judgmental
For the person that said he couldn't have been a soldier of he ws diagnosed with bi polar.. I'm a US Army veteran.. 15th Signal. And I have a diagnosis of bi polar from the Department of Veterans Affairs hospital. Also depression, anxiety amd adhd. Real textbook looney bird I guess.. But went in I had a clean bill of health mind body and soul. I don't know how's any of those conditions work.. If they hand just lay dormant until they didn't. Or if they were developed post service. But there are VA hospitals all over this c mountry full of folks with conditions that would have disqualified them initially
I can't put into words how I feel about this piece. Bravo is all I've got. ❤
Thank you Ren. For seeing yourself so clearly that I can almost see myself in your reflection. Thank you for bringing to voice those things that we are not given language to speak on. Thank you for being here, continuing to write and share your art.
I was a teenager in the 80's and music was my passion. My spirit. I got older. Got pulled under by life. I lost my passion along the way. It's been a very long time since I came across music that touched me and made me feel that connection again. A month or two ago you popped up in my recommendations and I clicked. I am very glad that I did because for the first time, in a very long time, you've helped me feel that passion again. Thank you Ren. You have a gift that does not come along often.
Is right lad am happy for you. Rens music is amazing. Hope u enjoy your found again journey
💤 most slept on musician
I agree I could just listen to him play the guitar all day. Then his vocal journey is the icing on the cake.
I feel you bro. Im sort of in that funk now. Been several years since I have had that fire. I was once consumed by it, but life just drained me for every ounce of motivation I had. After nearly 25 years I just got lost and its been very hard to find my way back. And sadly, this time it will be alone. After decades of creating within a group, going solo is such a huge challenge for me. Artists like REN, are indeed rekindling that fire. Its a good feeling.
get back into music! get creating, you deserve it. there is nothing better. im the same way, and its where I found my spirality as a teen.
I am 53 years old and making music since 15. But this guy is a genius. This is perfect Art. I really respect him and what he is doing !
I agree, it’s awesome!
@@tomasrosa4430 then go?
@@tomasrosa4430then why are you here commenting ?
I am not musically inclined at all! Also completely uneducated in it. However, I can feel the frequency, the energy , explosions in my heart, and mind, now to play it again, and again gleaning the wisdom of his words. We are kindred Ren, your one of my kind✨
Is there somewhere i can find your work?
This song and you, Ren, have just become one of my most treasured discoveries of the arts. Thank you.
Blown away. In tears. This perfect performance is nothing but absolute truth.
As a Veteran who has struggled and battled with PTSD for 13 years, this song hits harder than anything I've watched or listened to. I know all too well that voice which isn't your own, putting you down at every turn. Thank you for creating this raw, emotional and beautiful masterpiece.
I'm here with you brother
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Word
🤗💗
And how hard it is when that voice IS yours and you can't stop it.
I had never heard of or listened to Ren until today. This isn’t music, this is performance artistry personified ❤

Thank you so much. So grateful for coming across your music. Absolutely genius and awe inspiring from the lyrics to the video to the duality of your nature, our nature. Peace and love from NYC. Cheers!
Unbelievable. What an amazing gift you have given to so many people on so many different levels. Thank you.
I'm 48 years old and I didn't know Ren until today. I discover him today with this piece, this story. By chance. I am overwhelmed as I have rarely been. This is more than music. Thank you.
(45 years old )hey from Holland. same as you just now listen, for the first ☆ then 3 times more...I so your comment and I totally agree, brilliant and genius and touching!!
@@tazzieflats 52, and I have been listening to the whole catalogue since coming across this by chance yesterday. What an amazing artist. Truly touched my soul.

37, also didn’t know him until today.
48 as well. Brilliant artist and beautiful soul this Ren... wonder why he's connecting to us middle age dudes??
Kicked heroin a year and half ago after 12 years of using and trying to just end it man. To be be fully honest with yall. This song has meant more than any song I've ever heard. I can't express it. Truly. How can one put into words the way a piece of art shakes and breaks your entire soul. Thank you. Thank you for creating. Thank you all for being here to support and relate to this.. I love you. You are beautiful. Things get better.
Suicide attempt survivor here, only one way....UP. LOVE in Christ to you. Hug.
He sings from his soul , doesn't he. He reminds me of someone I lost recently, who also used music to try to heal his issues, but this artist has a strength my loved one couldn't quite manage. I've survived a severe chronic pain issue that started in the late 80s so know how to fight for life. I hope you find the strength you need, when you need it. And if you don't mind my best advice... positive reinforcement works amazingly well. On my worst days, if I repeat I'm having the best day ever, 3 times, within 20 minutes I'll realize I'm doing so much better. Blessings to you.
That's beautiful. The first year & a half were the hardest for me. You're doing something incredibly difficult, so be proud. It gets a little easier as you go, so keep going.
So agree, thank you, bless you take care
Not going to lie, it’s a life long battle. It does get easier but only with time and therapy if needed and that’s your jam. I too felt this song, the lyrics in my soul. Please know, if you don’t succeed today then just try again tomorrow. You’ll get there. Best of luck to you!💜
Only just heard this. Absolutely unbelievably amazing. What incredible talent.
Ren, the impact this creative representation you have created will go beyond commercial superficiality. You have beautifully captured the quiet desperation of the struggles of Mental Health. Having continuously fought with the demons of rage since I was 5, your song has put a mirror to my own struggle, the constant dance to keep them at bay, to be civilised and the effort to not disappoint those I love. On behalf of all of us, Thank you.
Probably my favourite song I've heard Ren make! Was a pleasure to be a part of as always! I hope you all like it!
thanks for all your amazing videos really always enjoyed them
It’s a piece of art! Well done to everyone involved. I really hope this masterpiece gets the international recognition it deserves. I feel like it will go down in history and be a turning point where music meets poetry meets spoken word meets art. I feel like I’m watching in real time the evolution of music.
As a director myself - kudos to you both for gripping work
Your collaborations are a joy to watch!
Phenomenal performance from ren and for you who captured it
Jesus this brought me to tears. Lost my son just over a year ago to suicide, he was 19. He was a coding genius and game publisher at just 14 and even interned at a university in China at aged 15. Not bad for a kid from a Belfast council estate. My son struggled with his mental health for a large part of his life and just ten minutes ago I sat with his picture talking to him and then this comes up on my KZhead, it honestly feels like my son is guiding and communicating from the other side and letting my know the struggles he faced and letting me understand. Thank you Ren.
Sorry you have to endure the loss of your son, I can't imagine a harder pain for a parent to bear. It is touching that this song brings a little comfort and feeling closer to your boy ❤
@@no.1fangirl Thanks for the kind words Teresa
😢
That's heart breaking dude. I'm a father myself of 3 kids and I couldn't imagine losing any of them, it would destroy me.
@@kuroibuta Yea mate it pretty much has but we have another son that needs us and we gotta keep going. I can only "as best as I can" thank god for the amazing years I had with my son Daniel, however short it was.
You are extremely articulate both verbally and musically. Whatever spirit force drives you, allow it the room to keep inspiring you. Brilliant insight x
That lines hits so hard...every...single...time..."some people know me as the voice they hear when they loosen the noose on the rope" HOPE is what keeps pushing humanity forward.
“It’s the duty of artists to go into the darkness and bring something back that’s tangible for people to heal themselves with” - Benjamin Tod
Good quote
@@subspaceanomalycheck that guy’s music out. Start with ‘War Inside of Me’ Different style than him {folk/Americana} but guy writes amazing lyrics and lived them. Just like this guy. Authentic to the max.
Got goosebumps reading this lol
I don’t know how the heck I found myself here watching this, but to then read someone dropping a Benjamin Tod quote - someone I had almost the same reaction to years ago when first discovering (using again) is quite something. I’ve been through rehabs, filled volumes of diaries with similar lyrics and monologues, and I’ve had my ups and downs. As a musician myself, music is what’s always gotten me through. And hearing Ren describe getting older, and learning to dance that eternal dance as the pendulum swings really hit me hard. I’m in my 30s now, married, and just had a kid. I feel like the depression fell off a while back. Then it was replaced with apathy. And my creative side seemed to go away. Then my son was born and I was given a new purpose. I still haven’t reconnected with my creative half, but I squeeze in an hour or two a day of guitar or drums between diaper changes, working, fixing the house, etc. Good to hear, and remember, that we are all human. And we’re all in this together.
I love Benjamin Todd he’s a modern day poet as well
Hi Ren….I am a MH professional, I studied many years to do my job and I do it with a passion and devotion to help people. Here in this song you breached the boundaries of music, therapy, existentialism, and made art of the purest level. I cry every time I listen to this song…thank you for being so completely and utterly raw and vulnerable…but most of all for having shared this with the rest of the world…this is inspiring, it makes me a better person, a better clinician, a better human being…it gives me renewed hope for us as a species! thank you Ren! - some people will know you as hope, some people will know you as the voice that they hear when they loosen the noose on the rope…
Makes sense to me l believe we all have a Ren in us..... good bad..devil angel...we all have to balance it...find your Hope
So true
So true
Shit, you need to collaborate with Ren👏🏼
thanks from another. healthcare is not so nice. would you like another line of ___🦄 or should we enfrocsre it?
This is a masterpiece. Amazing. Thank you
This song is the most honest and transparent song I have ever heard from an artist. It blows my soul wide open. there is nothing more freeing and inspiring than an artist willing to speak truth when everything inside him tells him different. I guarantee you have reached millions of people with this one song alone. We all battle the voices within and everybody knows it whether they talk about it or not, it's a part of our humanity, and you just concorde the negative stronghold that had tormented you for half your life. Praise God! Thank you, Ren!
Wow, what a performance. This is one of the most fresh and original works of art I have seen in decades. Congratulations young man - you're awesome!

This is outstanding, you are one very talented young man
I find it very hard these days to find music that I can connect to... but this, this is sensational. As someone with a chronic illness, who is constantly battling with my demons, this song amazed me. It's something more than just music. Its prose, esoteric performance art, storytelling and raw truth. You are so ridiculously talented. Thanks for sharing your art with us, mate. Xox
I'm a songwriter, but man you have found a direct source to the primordial. You have reached down into the collective unconscious and created something very unique.
That's the best way to put it - direct access to the Divine downloads
So amazing 💯
That was - almost literally - what I thought when I heard the first minute. Nice to see other souls feeling the same, too. 🙏
Really it's just a mental battle of voices, projected into reality through music. I made a song similar to this 7-9 years ago. The demon won and I've lost track of time since due to substance abuse. My dreams died with it. Which was ultimately what the song was about. It was the last song I fully completed.
@@vohas2691 post it!
My oldest son took his life 3 weeks ago. He regretted not joining the 27 club. The funeral was packed. He never realized how many people loved him and were sad. He was 28. Drugs and depression. Take care of yourself and your friends and family. I question everything now with my two younger boys. Be there for them.
I am so sorry for your loss. May your son find peace and hope on the other side.
Jason, I am so, very sorry. I can’t even begin to imagine your pain. Or that of your Son. He’s at peace now, but I know the turmoil and agony that’s left behind. Sending my love and prayers to you and your family. I hope your Son got to look down and see how important he was, to so many people. May he Rest In Paradise 🤍🕊️🤍
So sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing.

I'm sorry brother. I lost my daughter. You're not alone.
Not my genre I wouldn’t have thought. But that just shook me to my soul. I needed to hear this. About a dozen times now. And with a headache from crying. We all do belong. ❤ Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.
i’ve been playing this song daily, multiple times back to back since i came across Rens music a week and a half ago. I can’t explain to you how much this music has helped me in such a short period of time. thankyou for choosing to be so vulnerable and raw with all of us. i am grateful 😊
As a 73 year old with a life ripped apart by multiple and severe chronic conditions it has been impossible to describe or articulate any or even some of the devastation these conditions cause both physically and emotionally. I am pleased that I have survived long enough to discover that there is a Bard who is capable of articulating these complex feelings. This is perhaps the most cathartic piece of art I have ever witnessed. I thank you for it. My sorrow is the dark journey you have had to undertake on our behalf. I applaud you sir and hope you survive and flourish the world needs you. I have great hope for you because of your conclusion in realising that "And I must not forget, we must not forget, that we are human beings" Get well the world needs you
💜💜💜
God bless you ❤
Hi reg, thanks for sharing. As you found Rena articulation moving. I have found reading your story has done the same for me.
I am Bipolar. That can feel like having that Split. One Part of me: why the fuck are you so sad.... then the other can you please stop smiling.
Yes to this, fully. And Little Girl Gone is about addressing the abusive narcissist. Excellent insight and these viewpoints need to be heard. Finally some actually intelligent life-affirming lyrics. Thanks Ren and Chinchilla too. :) And OTEP...
This song is for humanity. Ren isn't crazy, he's human. He's more sensitive to his experience, which can be either a gift or curse. It looks like he's cycled through the curse and letting his gift shine. He will help wake people up. He's a gift.
Well said!
He really is a true gift to this world. My soul has never felt more understood than when I listen to this song. To his experiences. What a special gifted soul you are Ren. I can't thank you enough. I just pace in circles balling my eyes out, knowing you exist. ✨️🙌✨️🤍🤍🤍🖤🖤🖤🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 Thank you again from the very depths of my heart and soul. 🫶🙏
Pure truth. ❤
Thank you for this brought me to tears. I felt heard and understood with every thing you said. It’s like you took every thing I’ve been feeling and going through and turned it into this!
I've got obsessed watching reactions to Hi Ren since it had about 200k views... and still I'm touched by the song every time. It's so powerful.
The line 'where's your top 10 hit' makes me smile now that he not only just got a top 10 hit, but a Number 1 album, and so well deserved!
And line that he never follow statistics but from good couple weeks once he realized he can win he is following it like crazy too :D

I’m a 42 year old man. A single song has never broken me down as much as this has. Not only am I having a major pressure release in the form of crying but the absolute emotions this brought on so many levels has opened my eyes. I have never witnessed such creative honesty in an art form. I’ve never been so touched by something. Chills… tears… lyrical beauty and talent. A life change moment for me here.
Have you dug deeper into his music? If not 3 impactful songs I found are, dignity, what kind of woman is this, and chalk outlines
Agree 100% ~ and you gotta love those chills!🥰
Sounds like you are on the path to freedom. Shalom.
We're all right there with you brother! I couldn't have said it better myself!
42 woman here, and doesn't matter how many times I listen I can't remove the feels. Different parts got me on different listens, and something that felt understood gains new depth. Every song he's done kinda adds to this, each holding their own layer of meaning and being standalone masterpieces.
I haven't had a piece of music grab my attention like this in...30 years? (I'm 34) So unique and so powerfully performed. Well done, my man. Keep dancing
I look at the comments, and I am so impressed at the way you have articulated your stories and were inspired by Ren. I listen to Hi Ren and there are no words to explain how magic this piece this is on so many levels. Somehow I am still left with more shame and inadequacy from these experiences. It is probably a good thing to be exposed.

I'm a 50 yr old man who has struggled with demons most of my adult life. On listening to this it was like those demons fucked off for a while. I cried for hrs after listening this transcends music. This is healing, this is cathartic. Cheers man.
62, Same. Peace.
Im here with tears in my eyes
48 here
43, it got me, Violet's tale as well!

Don't know why, but I keep getting back to this song. It sort of clicks with me. Keep up the good work!
