Back again to watch this beautiful wholesome video/song. Ren has been a beautiful soul from a very young age. He went through the depths of hell and is coming out the other side. He deserves all the happiness and success!
Hang on… That little girl with the doll who drew the heart on the pavement is me! I was probably about three. I’m now eleven and it was only until a friend of ours brought this video up that we realised it was me in the video.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness Only light 💡 can do that Hate cannot drive out hate Only love can do that !! So fkn true You’re blessed to be marked in history especially WEN YOU’RE SEEING REN
Brings tears to my eye's watching this video, just seeing the love and light from you all and those smiles; just goes to prove simple things can make a big difference in someone else's life, so many people would've gone home with an extra skip in their step, just from being around or even part of this lovely gesture from Ren and his friends to share a bit of love around. You were lucky enough to be there and be part of something very special and I'm sure you are going to have fond memories for the rest of your life, congrats you finally realised.💖💖💖
Ren, I know you will likely never see this message. The medical issues I face have destroyed my body and I also face the likelihood of an early final chapter in my life. I’m not hear to cry to you, my story is available for those interested. I just want to tell you to keep going! The world needs to see those of us that are invisible.
I hope that Ren does see your comment, & I’m sure he will reply to you,maybe just not as a ‘reply’ I think he touches a lot of us who have & are dealing with a crappy hand of cards, especially medical wise, mine won’t kill me, but it gives me a closer understanding, & don’t give up on yourself or what can be done to help you, it’s never over until that ‘chubby’ lady sings at the top of her lungs, so hold on, grab hold of hope & don’t F’n let it go, your worth more than that, there’s only one you.
There are no "invisible people" Just those that are made to feel that way from outside influences. All are loved and seen by him/her. I love ya all too. Have a great day my fellow travelers in this world
Your not invisible ,thank you for your message I like you struggle as do others I know and love who no one's seems to care about us we are important enough or famous enough or rich enough for then to care because there soul is shallow and there vision clogged but one does watch and one does care and one know everything that happens to us and that is God the lord has shown us by speaking truth walked in love and gave everything to reach us ,to open our hearts and minds and show us the truth he is the light the truth and the way . And he is always with us ,ren is a light he shows us what we are missing in our lives our humanity ,our compassion for others ,our equality to each other the things he shows are things we need to see and I hook will open Hearts to open to the truth and encourage people to see the truth for them selves he is kind and charitable he tries to uplift others and better the lives of others the more he grows in popularity the more he able to achieve and that's how we should all be hopefully he will continue to remind us of who we are suppose to be of all that we could be and in doing so bring people to the truth change people lives for the better and help. Is. Grow as human beings it would help for us all to know we are human to help one another and this planet instead of destroying it with greed and hate we live at amazing time when all things are possible and the fulfillment of what was said like a revelation or revealing to the world what the truth is cause the truth will never change it will always be truth. and will be praying for your health and your situation and hope to hear miraculous stories form you in the future may God peace be upon you and may the truth guide you thank you for being you and for not being afraid to share just wanted you to Know that we see you your not invisible that cared about that your important that you mean something because we all need know that we are cared about that we are important and that we matter and you do matter take care love ya
Dear REN, my mom loved your music! Tuesday March 5th 2024 my mom passed away from a massive heart attack while asleep ❤ this was her favourite song and I've been listening to it since she passed and been crying because I feel like she's telling me it's alright mommy is okay. I'm scared, lost and broken without her
Hugs. I listen to this when I'm in my head (Cptsd) and it pulls me right on out. My mom's last words were "love each otger" - i love that someone else is reminded of their mom.
Your mom isn't gone forever, shes watching over you every second of the day, guiding you, there to pick you up when you are down...your guardian angel. She lives inside you...all that you are comes from your mom's love. I feel your pain,, I lost my mom to a brain aneurysm when i was 18, I was so fckng broken. I have 2 younger brothers 14years old and 16years old when my mom passed and i became their legal guardian, if it wasn't for the help, strength and love my brothers gave me i wouldn't be here today. I came to realise that everything happens for a reason, them reasons can be so fckd up a hurt like hell. Please sit back and think about this... your mom is always by your side so how miserably sad do you think she will be to watch you so broken and beat?.. its hard to carry on, i know, but you have her strength inside you 🫶🫶🫶
This is the first listen for my morning & it has definitely set a vibe for my day. My wish is to live in a world where this type of love emanates from every person with ease. ❤ I wonder if Ren can comprehend the phenomenal impact he has upon every person that finds him. It’s almost unbelievable.❤ Ty Ren!!
2023 and still beautiful message we haven't quite put into practise yet. But now I "go by many names also, some people know me as hope", A brilliant man.
And when he stands up. Every time. Literally like he pulled conversations I've had in my head, and in nightmares, and on paper - in journals going back now more a decade - and put them into a song. I was made to broken so I could learn how to stand. Pendulums.
I’d say Pink Floyd and Queen. Maybe the Beatles, who went through major transformations with every album, just over one a year for the 10 years they were together. The Beatles had this linear progression, tho.
I feel like Ren is the only musician who can make people feel depressed, happy, sad, smart, dumb, save and in danger in his wide range of music just by hearing one song or seeing one musicvideo. He´s also the only musician who can awake our inner child without noticing it and fill us with happiness no matter how bad we feel at the time we see a video like this. Thanks for this gift dear universe!
This song & video made me very emotional. We are so divided here in America, so something as simple as people joining in drawing the hearts on a sidewalk,-that just touched my heart. There's so much hate all around us everyday. The world needs Ren, he brings people together in such a beautiful way.
When Ren's filling stadiums, headlining festivals and walking up red carpets, I'm going to come back to this and do what I spent the last four minutes doing. Smile deep into my heart. 💜
It started when the youtube algorithm suggested Hi Ren to me. Here I am every day finding these incredible pieces of art. I can't put into words how great of an artist Ren really is.
I just found this video and I want to cry because it's like finding home knowing others out there have been feeling and living the same way without even knowing it we are connected.
Finally got time to work my way through your full back catalogue bro. This is great, anyone listening to this six years ago could have seen clearly you were destined for big things. Keep killing it.
I love how people joined in, this is exactly what a performance art piece should be. Encouraging everyone to partake and share in the message. I really love this.
Hey, as a co-star in this video and the creator of the project, Love Trail, I just want to say thanks a lot. It was my life for almost a year, travelling around, taking donations and befriending strangers as a then 19 year old. It started in Bristol, then went to Brighton, London, Madrid, Eindhoven, and finally New York City. In the end, nobody paid us any notice there, so we sadly had to pack up and go home. Comments like yours make me consider starting it again (possibly without the bohemian lifestyle) but I'd have to trial it first and see. All the best!
This song and Chalk Outlines hits me hard, but it's the kind of emotional crying that we all need to do every now and then. Ren pulls the feelings right out of you. I absolutely love the sound of his voice, and his songwriting skills are just ridiculously good. He's an amazing talent. ❤
The video brings back so many meaningful memories of organizing & sharing Free Hugs in NYC and across the US & 29 countries. One day, a homeless woman whispered in my ear, "Thank you, I ain't been touched in 20 years." She inspired me to seek out unhoused folx and offer hugs and sharing a meal together. Those moments saved my life. It's Alright!❤
The more I discover and watch of Ren the more I find that he's been at this level of good for far too long, far too consistently, and across far too many genres to not be genius. This is 7 years old but it's new to me and I still think it's just as brilliant as any of his releases in the past 12 months. Just keep going Ren. You're too good, too often to not impact millions. Too skilled, too creative to not inspire. Too fun, too admired to not be a friend.
71 yr old feels: DEAR SON of my heart, as i sit at 6am out side with tears of hope and jonesing (old speak for: where did my doctor/ dealer go?) you and your music/soul have been with me every step of the way. my faith and friends like you have turned the tide in my favor. when i discovered your beautiful kindred spirit, i also discovered there are things called coping skills. who knew? but i know now. i will search them out. maybe my mind will chill the fuck out!!!! i pray for your healing daily. God's will be done. please take heart, son, and realize the love and prayers sent out for you.
I had the fortune of stumbling upon your videos a couple of days ago, and have been binging my way through your channel. Out of all of your music - a lot of which hits very close to home in my heart - this was the song that had me in tears. Something about these lyrics and the video unlocked a part of me that's been closed down for years. I know this feeling won't last but right now I'm basking in a cathartic glow and feel like I'm able to breathe in the first time since I don't know when. Thank you ❤
Apparently healing has a shape & its tear shaped. Been doing a lot of that too lately. Deep breath sweetpea & very much love from a stranger in Australia 💖Shine on & everywhere xxx
I so feel this, after 10 years of living with a rare disorder and with a medical system that looks for horses not zebra, is alienating to the point of abuse, it's such a relief that you can speak the words I feel but can't form. Thank you 🧎🏻♀️
It's 8 years later and this has still a massive impact as it did when you first released this. Hate is always conditional and comes with conquences. Love is unconditional and only comes with love. ❤
These older videos just hit different. Huge fan of the new stuff but music is intertwined with Ren’s soul…and he practices what he preaches, this here is video proof of that love he wants to put out into the world. Honestly, I can’t stand commenting on RUclips, or any public platform really…but I can’t seem to help it whenever I finish a new (to me) Ren song, I just have to acknowledge it!
It's 2023 and I'm just discovering this song. I feel like I need to make up for all the lost time that I missed. At 45, finally at a good place in my life, I have been moved so incredibly by Ren that it has caused me to re-evaluate so many things in regards to what I consume, how I spend my time, and what my daily focus is. I have enjoyed many artists in my years on this earth, some more influential in my life than others, and I can say with full confidence and honesty that no artist has made a greater impact on my life in such a short time. It's an amazing phenomenon that I'm seeing in others as they discover his work and just the beautiful human that he is. ❤
This song has helped motivate me to get up and face the day on many occasions. Ive shared it several times and it has helped others also. Expressing my gratitude is all i can do and right now i have so much of it for Ren's gift and spreading love. Thank you Ren AND crew! ❤❤❤
When the fucking algorithm get's it right.. You fuckin Rock Ren!! You have so many people that love you and support you!! I hope you go bigtime and never sell your soul to Hollywood!
ren.. i'm a filmmaker and i can't describe to you with words how the whole discovery of you and your art is inspiring. man... just do what you are doing, you are giving me the chills and hopefully, we work together one day.
You have no idea how much this song has got me through, through the difficulties, through the hardships, especially in the last 5 months, my ex has cut all contact with me and our children, lied to the police which it's only just been discovered, I have been lost, and this song has helped me through, thank you Ren, deeply brother
I'm stuck in bed just sick for yrs which i know you get. all i have is my computer and my cat. Music is everything to me and finding yours has been such a blessing and a change. i cry with a lot of it, but that's ok, it's just because I hear the words that have been in my head for so long in nearly every song. the side of you with so much hope is where i aspire to be someday. i know that being grateful is the most important thing, and man am i grateful for my husband who deals with me and loves me through it, and my cat that never leaves my side.
This was the song that got me hooked on your music and I've been following you from the beginning. With your recent breakthroughs I really want to see a live/accoustic version 🫶
I dropped a reaction to this and I honestly loved this song it shows so much love and support and kindness that Ren has he’s been like it since birth ❤️
I am crying - I know I’m 7 years late . Yet , wow the talent of not only gorgeous talent - your emotions are clearer and message than just words can do . Thank you again for hanging in there and wowza to the band !
i think this is a perfect example of performance art, simple, effective and puts a smile on everybodys face! also: damn, why does this not have more views...
I've listened to this song on Spotify but it's the first time I've seen the video. It's a hell of a jam but this video hits a whole different way. There's something beautiful in kindness and sharing those little moments with others. I'm a cynic that really wants to be an optimistic so just seeing or experiencing small interactions between humans based solely on the appreciation of others, makes me all emotional.
Lyrics from Genius [Verse 1] And I've walked through the darkest of days With no light, with no light, with no light Stumbling through my heads maze Left and right, left and right, left and right Heard that same old beautiful phrase "It's alright", "It's alright", "It's alright" Loose myself into the dark Of the night, of the night, of the night Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh It's alright, it's alright, it's alright Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh It's alright, it's alright, it's alright [Verse 2] And so I sit here in solitude In the quiet, in the quiet, in the quiet And if my body asks to move I won't fight, I won't fight, I won't fight it And as I search for the way out Out of sight, out of sight, out of sight Repeat that same old beautiful phrase "It's alright", "it's alright", "it's alright" Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh It's alright, it's alright, it's alright Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh It's alright, it's alright, it's alright Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh It's alright, it's alright, it's alright Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh It's alright, it's alright, it's alright [Bridge] Take this with both hands, never gonna let go Take this with both hands, never gonna let go Take this with both hands, never gonna let go Take this with both hands [Bridge] I'm gonna take this with both hands, never gonna let go Take this with both hands, never gonna let go Take this with both hands, never gonna let go Take this with both hands, never gonna let go Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh It's alright, it's alright, it's alright Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh It's alright, it's alright, it's alright Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh It's alright, it's alright, it's alright Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh It's alright, it's alright, it's alright Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh It's alright, it's alright, it's alright Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Love you Truck loads Bro your truly Blessed sending all your music to my 17 year old daughter Lilly don't sell your soul to Babylon Bro keep doing what you do 🙏❤️
Wow. The gift I didn’t realize I needed today. Beyond grateful that you exist. What an honor it is to walk the same planet with you. Much ❤ from Maryland, and welcome to the US!
Beautiful song, beautiful man. ❤ (But yeah, he seriously looks like a teenager here, just too adorable. But I already feel a bit like a dirty old lady with him being 33, so this feels all kinds of wrong! 😂)
Just when I thought I couldn't like you anymore as an artist, and then I find this gem. You, Ren, have a heart of gold, and a soul made of love and light. You genuinely inspire me to be a better person through actions not just words and thoughts. Thank you, sir!
REN think I might be a fan boy for first time in my life I feel like some of ur songs could be about me . Ur so talented it’s unbelievable n I av never at 40 years old appreciated anyone’s music as much as I do urs ,
Another beautiful song from Ren. Keep finding these little gems of his music and love them all ❤❤❤
Back again to watch this beautiful wholesome video/song. Ren has been a beautiful soul from a very young age. He went through the depths of hell and is coming out the other side. He deserves all the happiness and success!
Hang on… That little girl with the doll who drew the heart on the pavement is me! I was probably about three. I’m now eleven and it was only until a friend of ours brought this video up that we realised it was me in the video.
awww ❤ I'm not much older but that's so coollll
Darkness cannot drive out darkness
Only light 💡 can do that
Hate cannot drive out hate
Only love can do that !! So fkn true
You’re blessed to be marked in history especially WEN YOU’RE SEEING REN
Brings tears to my eye's watching this video, just seeing the love and light from you all and those smiles; just goes to prove simple things can make a big difference in someone else's life, so many people would've gone home with an extra skip in their step, just from being around or even part of this lovely gesture from Ren and his friends to share a bit of love around. You were lucky enough to be there and be part of something very special and I'm sure you are going to have fond memories for the rest of your life, congrats you finally realised.💖💖💖
At 2:51 ?
Ahh Violet ❤Indeed A Very Spectacular Timeless 💜 🎵 song & Beautiful Melody for you you 'To This Gem With Both Hands & Never Let Go!'...LoL ❤️ 😅
Just when I think Ren is peaking (mid 2023) I discover this little gem from ages ago. There is not a "peak" it's just continuous...
This makes me weep. I miss my everyone. They're all gone. And it's not alright.
I understand. Hold on to who you have today and tell them you love them ❤
Ren, I know you will likely never see this message. The medical issues I face have destroyed my body and I also face the likelihood of an early final chapter in my life. I’m not hear to cry to you, my story is available for those interested. I just want to tell you to keep going! The world needs to see those of us that are invisible.
I hope that Ren does see your comment, & I’m sure he will reply to you,maybe just not as a ‘reply’
I think he touches a lot of us who have & are dealing with a crappy hand of cards, especially medical wise, mine won’t kill me, but it gives me a closer understanding, & don’t give up on yourself or what can be done to help you, it’s never over until that ‘chubby’ lady sings at the top of her lungs, so hold on, grab hold of hope & don’t F’n let it go, your worth more than that, there’s only one you.
Praying for your strength and peace. Courageous suffering begets fierce joy.
There are no "invisible people" Just those that are made to feel that way from outside influences. All are loved and seen by him/her. I love ya all too. Have a great day my fellow travelers in this world
@@MartinDominicLanzaCould you try telling that to my doctor then?

Dear REN, my mom loved your music! Tuesday March 5th 2024 my mom passed away from a massive heart attack while asleep ❤ this was her favourite song and I've been listening to it since she passed and been crying because I feel like she's telling me it's alright mommy is okay. I'm scared, lost and broken without her
I'm sorry for your loss, sending you love and hugs. It's alright 💜
Hugs. I listen to this when I'm in my head (Cptsd) and it pulls me right on out. My mom's last words were "love each otger" - i love that someone else is reminded of their mom.
Your mom isn't gone forever, shes watching over you every second of the day, guiding you, there to pick you up when you are down...your guardian angel. She lives inside you...all that you are comes from your mom's love.
I feel your pain,, I lost my mom to a brain aneurysm when i was 18, I was so fckng broken. I have 2 younger brothers 14years old and 16years old when my mom passed and i became their legal guardian, if it wasn't for the help, strength and love my brothers gave me i wouldn't be here today. I came to realise that everything happens for a reason, them reasons can be so fckd up a hurt like hell. Please sit back and think about this... your mom is always by your side so how miserably sad do you think she will be to watch you so broken and beat?.. its hard to carry on, i know, but you have her strength inside you 🫶🫶🫶
So sorry for your loss! I'm glad Ren's music is bringing you comfort ❤️
I am so sorry 😔 I'm glad you're finding healing through this amazing song 🎶((( BIG LOVIN HEALING COMFORTING HUGS)))💞
This is the first listen for my morning & it has definitely set a vibe for my day. My wish is to live in a world where this type of love emanates from every person with ease. ❤ I wonder if Ren can comprehend the phenomenal impact he has upon every person that finds him. It’s almost unbelievable.❤ Ty Ren!!
Thank you Ren, it's beautiful 💜
2023 and still beautiful message we haven't quite put into practise yet. But now I "go by many names also, some people know me as hope", A brilliant man.
People are always putting it into practice. Not all people are in the same place at the same time. Cycle of life, Ren's pendulum swings.
But I also like to go by the name of hope? But occasionally it's fun to catalyse chaos tbf.
@@Ccm1970 Where chaos and anarchy roam?
That's my favorite line from that song. I've listened to it a thousand times and still get chills when he says that.
And when he stands up. Every time. Literally like he pulled conversations I've had in my head, and in nightmares, and on paper - in journals going back now more a decade - and put them into a song. I was made to broken so I could learn how to stand. Pendulums.
This song always comforts me when I'm having a bad day ❤
Lost a friend of mine very unexpectedly today and while weeping over his passing, I keep coming back to this song. Thank you, Ren.
So sorry for your loss.. Wishing you love & peace.. Your friend is watching from above until you meet again!❤🕊️
Oh Ren .... How many times are you going to make me cry? Happy tears, soul tears. Thank you
❤
Soul tears
That's a really good term for it.
Yesterday Humble was my favourite Ren song. Today It's Alright It's Alright It's Alright.
I can’t ever recall a performer so unique and versatile before, I’m sure there’s been some it’s just none spring to mind.
I’d say Pink Floyd and Queen. Maybe the Beatles, who went through major transformations with every album, just over one a year for the 10 years they were together. The Beatles had this linear progression, tho.
Such a positive message in a super catchy tune!
I feel like Ren is the only musician who can make people feel depressed, happy, sad, smart, dumb, save and in danger in his wide range of music just by hearing one song or seeing one musicvideo. He´s also the only musician who can awake our inner child without noticing it and fill us with happiness no matter how bad we feel at the time we see a video like this. Thanks for this gift dear universe!
REN IS NOW 53rd ON THE EFFING USA TOP 100- one week on the charts!!!
This song & video made me very emotional. We are so divided here in America, so something as simple as people joining in drawing the hearts on a sidewalk,-that just touched my heart. There's so much hate all around us everyday. The world needs Ren, he brings people together in such a beautiful way.
In the future, we're all Ren fans...we're all Renegades
How is this not a worldwide theme song by now, love you Ren
Same reason "Jesus loves me" isn't. 😢❤❤❤❤🌏🌎🌍✝️⚰️🙃😉
Because the powers that be don't want alright, they want it all!
When Ren's filling stadiums, headlining festivals and walking up red carpets, I'm going to come back to this and do what I spent the last four minutes doing. Smile deep into my heart. 💜
It started when the youtube algorithm suggested Hi Ren to me. Here I am every day finding these incredible pieces of art. I can't put into words how great of an artist Ren really is.
you just did😊
Same here ❤
Same here. Grateful to that algorithm. I found Chinchilla through Ren. She is great too!
Same … the hole is deep but oh what a journey
I just found this video and I want to cry because it's like finding home knowing others out there have been feeling and living the same way without even knowing it we are connected.
Finally got time to work my way through your full back catalogue bro. This is great, anyone listening to this six years ago could have seen clearly you were destined for big things. Keep killing it.

You have a beautiful soul xx please start again, the world needs more people like you and Ren xx
This song and Chalk Outlines hits me hard, but it's the kind of emotional crying that we all need to do every now and then. Ren pulls the feelings right out of you. I absolutely love the sound of his voice, and his songwriting skills are just ridiculously good. He's an amazing talent. ❤
It's 2020 and this song is so encouraging and beautiful...
Pain is temporary.. It's a passing wind.. It's alright.

It’s 2019 and this is still so beautiful
2020:)
Always will be time doesn't matter :)
2022
2023 and its absolutely perfectly beautiful
May 2023 and I'm here for it.
This is so beautiful. The world needs so much more of this.
Very time you watch this music video. It just uplifts your soul. Makes you want to go buy some chalk and d go make the streets beautiful with hearts.
71 yr old feels: DEAR SON of my heart, as i sit at 6am out side with tears of hope and jonesing (old speak for: where did my doctor/ dealer go?) you and your music/soul have been with me every step of the way. my faith and friends like you have turned the tide in my favor. when i discovered your beautiful kindred spirit, i also discovered there are things called coping skills. who knew? but i know now. i will search them out. maybe my mind will chill the fuck out!!!! i pray for your healing daily.

I had the fortune of stumbling upon your videos a couple of days ago, and have been binging my way through your channel.
Out of all of your music - a lot of which hits very close to home in my heart - this was the song that had me in tears.
Something about these lyrics and the video unlocked a part of me that's been closed down for years. I know this feeling won't last but right now I'm basking in a cathartic glow and feel like I'm able to breathe in the first time since I don't know when.
Thank you ❤

Apparently healing has a shape & its tear shaped. Been doing a lot of that too lately. Deep breath sweetpea & very much love from a stranger in Australia 💖Shine on & everywhere xxx
What a fantastic gesture. Made so many people happy. Lovely.
Come thru when you text me I'd telly to you hut hey if I lied I would be raised wavelengths lest the blessed aren't at sll
I so feel this, after 10 years of living with a rare disorder and with a medical system that looks for horses not zebra, is alienating to the point of abuse, it's such a relief that you can speak the words I feel but can't form. Thank you 🧎🏻♀️
Only songs like this keeping me alive and sane
Great music with a great message ❤
This is the video by Ren that deserves 14illion views. My heart explodes with joy for the world everytime I listen to it.
It's 8 years later and this has still a massive impact as it did when you first released this. Hate is always conditional and comes with conquences. Love is unconditional and only comes with love. ❤
Beautiful comment
Ren, you're a beautiful soul. The world needs more people like you and your friends
If you see this comment youre real ren fan
2024 This is truly needed… hopefully we all feel this someday ☺️🖤
I'm glad the algorithm served this to me today. I needed to see it. ❤
These older videos just hit different. Huge fan of the new stuff but music is intertwined with Ren’s soul…and he practices what he preaches, this here is video proof of that love he wants to put out into the world. Honestly, I can’t stand commenting on RUclips, or any public platform really…but I can’t seem to help it whenever I finish a new (to me) Ren song, I just have to acknowledge it!
Amazing as always ❤️
What could be better than interactive street art - that's all about Love. Beautiful.
You are made of Light and Love! 💛💛💛🎹🎺🎼
What beautiful sentiments,the world could learn from this,there is lots of pain out there,we all need to look after each personthat needs help
Love you for all the light YOU give 🤌✨🖤🌙🥰
Its 2023 and this is still my most played song.
It's 2023 and I'm just discovering this song. I feel like I need to make up for all the lost time that I missed. At 45, finally at a good place in my life, I have been moved so incredibly by Ren that it has caused me to re-evaluate so many things in regards to what I consume, how I spend my time, and what my daily focus is. I have enjoyed many artists in my years on this earth, some more influential in my life than others, and I can say with full confidence and honesty that no artist has made a greater impact on my life in such a short time. It's an amazing phenomenon that I'm seeing in others as they discover his work and just the beautiful human that he is. ❤
This song has helped motivate me to get up and face the day on many occasions. Ive shared it several times and it has helped others also. Expressing my gratitude is all i can do and right now i have so much of it for Ren's gift and spreading love. Thank you Ren AND crew! ❤❤❤
Such a beautiful song and video ❤
When the fucking algorithm get's it right.. You fuckin Rock Ren!! You have so many people that love you and support you!! I hope you go bigtime and never sell your soul to Hollywood!
Putting music to hope.❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
If only we all did the things we say we should do when we're in front of the camera. Beautiful song.
Agreed.
I don't have a way to express the messages you deliver but they are very i.portamt to take to heart
If you made it here, you now this is a prodigy. Stay multi genre is all you do man ;)
I heard this for the first time this morning, and felt a real sense of emotion for your journey, Ren.
Beautiful song.
"Love is the answer" John Lennon
It only needs to be spread with random acts of kindness ❤
Thanx for reminding us Ren
Digging through your back catalogue and found this little gem!! Love it fella.
ren.. i'm a filmmaker and i can't describe to you with words how the whole discovery of you and your art is inspiring. man... just do what you are doing, you are giving me the chills and hopefully, we work together one day.
You are such a beautifull spirited soul ren. Love all you do and how you care after all your troubles. Love you dude❤
Just found this… and it’s beautiful. ❤
Thank you for this today.
This is lovely 😍
Wow, didn't know this song meant so much to me. I got tears in my eyes. I love music & spreading it around ✌️💙🎵🫂
You have no idea how much this song has got me through, through the difficulties, through the hardships, especially in the last 5 months, my ex has cut all contact with me and our children, lied to the police which it's only just been discovered, I have been lost, and this song has helped me through, thank you Ren, deeply brother
I'm stuck in bed just sick for yrs which i know you get. all i have is my computer and my cat. Music is everything to me and finding yours has been such a blessing and a change. i cry with a lot of it, but that's ok, it's just because I hear the words that have been in my head for so long in nearly every song. the side of you with so much hope is where i aspire to be someday. i know that being grateful is the most important thing, and man am i grateful for my husband who deals with me and loves me through it, and my cat that never leaves my side.
And not necessarily in that order, right?!🐈
This was the song that got me hooked on your music and I've been following you from the beginning. With your recent breakthroughs I really want to see a live/accoustic version 🫶
The world of Ren is pretty incredible. Thanks for sharing the love! This is beautiful music and a beautiful thing you all did as well.
I dropped a reaction to this and I honestly loved this song it shows so much love and support and kindness that Ren has he’s been like it since birth ❤️
I'm so touched by this song. Ren is such a beautiful soul. ❤❤❤
Nice to see people smiling. Also a sweet way to identify which people might be a tad OCD. ❤️
I am crying - I know I’m 7 years late . Yet , wow the talent of not only gorgeous talent - your emotions are clearer and message than just words can do . Thank you again for hanging in there and wowza to the band !
It's 2022 and this song is still beautifull and hopegiving
i think this is a perfect example of performance art, simple, effective and puts a smile on everybodys face!
also: damn, why does this not have more views...
I've listened to this song on Spotify but it's the first time I've seen the video. It's a hell of a jam but this video hits a whole different way. There's something beautiful in kindness and sharing those little moments with others. I'm a cynic that really wants to be an optimistic so just seeing or experiencing small interactions between humans based solely on the appreciation of others, makes me all emotional.
8 years ago 🤯 i just found and fell in love with you in 2024.
Beautiful.... absolutely beautiful
Lyrics from Genius
[Verse 1]
And I've walked through the darkest of days
With no light, with no light, with no light
Stumbling through my heads maze
Left and right, left and right, left and right
Heard that same old beautiful phrase
"It's alright", "It's alright", "It's alright"
Loose myself into the dark
Of the night, of the night, of the night
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
[Verse 2]
And so I sit here in solitude
In the quiet, in the quiet, in the quiet
And if my body asks to move
I won't fight, I won't fight, I won't fight it
And as I search for the way out
Out of sight, out of sight, out of sight
Repeat that same old beautiful phrase
"It's alright", "it's alright", "it's alright"
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
[Bridge]
Take this with both hands, never gonna let go
Take this with both hands, never gonna let go
Take this with both hands, never gonna let go
Take this with both hands
[Bridge]
I'm gonna take this with both hands, never gonna let go
Take this with both hands, never gonna let go
Take this with both hands, never gonna let go
Take this with both hands, never gonna let go
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

This has become one of my favorite videos.
I don't know how it hasent gotten 1 million views yet.
So much raw love and kindness spread in this video.
♥️ such a great song!!! And that baby face Ren has 🤭😅
Beautiful song, beautiful man. ❤
(But yeah, he seriously looks like a teenager here, just too adorable. But I already feel a bit like a dirty old lady with him being 33, so this feels all kinds of wrong! 😂)
Just when I thought I couldn't like you anymore as an artist, and then I find this gem. You, Ren, have a heart of gold, and a soul made of love and light. You genuinely inspire me to be a better person through actions not just words and thoughts. Thank you, sir!
Wonderful
