    I met Ren on Saturday. I just wanted to tell him that he’s a Prophet and he blows my mind. He was genuinely appreciative and asked me to sit with him. We spoke about this song and his visit to Angelsey and he had tears in his eyes whilst talking to me about it. I cry every time I hear this. I told him it’s beautiful and Joe would be proud. I’m more convinced now after meeting him that he’s an Angel sent from God 🙏🏾 He’s the most beautiful human with the most amazing soul and presence and his music, words and actions come directly from the heart and his kindness, pureness and morals are inspirational. I’m a 53 yr old man and have seen it all in music. Ren is an enigma. Cherish him. Be like Ren ☮️

    I don't know how he mustered up the courage to play this to Joe's parents before he released it. Imagine the emotion the day he played that nevermind the emotion in this. This song should depress me after losing my brother to suicide but instead it has uplifted me and inspired me. Only genius that is Ren manages to do this.

    I'm sure there's a few recommendations for it already. It being the title track for that album and one of the most impactful songs Ren has ever created, it would be wonderful to have you look back to this one, especially knowing some of the details around the story and having the foresight to see where Ren is now.
    Thanks for the videos, both breakdown and original music.

    Hey Knox, on the money again, lovely reaction. This song knits together the bond and struggles Ren continues to have from his closing lines of Suicide, with the positive messaging from Freckled Angels, the strength that gives him, with Joe always in his heart. The whole vibe of this with the piano accompaniment is beautiful.

  • @Jason_xofilos
    @Jason_xofilos Год назад +14

    Great reaction and analysis as usual, Knox. I didn’t he could play piano/keyboard like that. I am sure Joe’s parents treasured and appreciated this video.
    From your interview Ren intellectually and logically knows there wasn’t anything he could have done that night but emotionally is another thing… the empty cup.
    But notice there is a bottle of light (lights) to fill the empty cup.
    The previous produced video was dark and filled with pain and frustration. This starts with that pain but continues with what Joe and all his actions has taught and given Ren. That bottle of light to fill the empty cup. Not only a crafted masterpiece but preformed extremely well with the help from Sam.

    Great reaction. Heartbreaking and beautiful, yet uplifting too and he does it with such courage and vulnerability... When Ren said he was going to give us a live version of Suic!de I don't think anyone expected him to take the last verse and make a new song that he ended with the chorus from Freckled Angels. In between sounds like he took inspiration from Dominoes and Freckled Angels... if you haven't checked those out, you really should.

Also his selflessness and encouragement when it comes to other artists. Never loose that REN

    Since that reaction it has been inspiring to see the bond deepen between you two heart centered artists. I am a fan of your work too and suspect some form of collaboration is in the pipeleine with yáll !! ♥ I sure hope so. Huge hug from a Kiwi in New Zealand.

      It’s not. He is just referencing the song. Like he mentioned Screech in Illest of Our Time.

A brilliant way of tying the songs together and inventing something entirely new. What a genius.

    I can't imagine how hard that performance must've been for him, as you said you can really feel the emotion in his voice. Such a beautiful tribute to Joe. You should definitely do Freckled Angels soon! There's some lyrics from it on this one actually, starting from the last piano change with "freckled angels laugh the hardest". Everything in between the end of su!cide and that part are new lyrics. Also don't feel bad for crying, we've all done it! Hard not to, tbh 😂 thanks for your reaction and the move to Ren as always!

  • @AdgerSyndicate

    That acapella part he does at the end is actually the chorus for Freckled Angel it was from his debut album around 7 or 8 years ago Both are absolutely beautiful songs but this one right here I've never felt this way from any other song or music. There's no words to describe how creative and poetic Ren is

  • @shaundewar7397
    @shaundewar7397 Год назад +1

    Knox, you are spot on at the end when you say this goes full circle. It starts with the end of the last song which is overtly linked to Joe's passing, and it ends with a piece of Freckled Angel, Rens first song dedicated to Joe written shortly after Joe's death. This song like there is some redemption and some closure for Ren, starting with the pure sadness and details of losing his friend and then ends with a beautiful and uplifting illustration of who joe was and what he has given Ren even in tragedy. This is art not just a song

  • @soullessminds

    This was so hard for me to watch. As someone who has attempted suicide, and who has lost the most important person to me, this was rough. I didn't know I could still feel this kinda emotion, till I heard this song. When Ren drops the piano and its just raw vocals is when I feel all the emotions flowing back to me. I can't help but, to recall those emotions.

    Wonderfully insightful and respectful reaction Knox. I hope that the writing and the performing of this beautiful tribute is cathartic and healing for Ren. But seeing him struggle to hold it together at the end and hearing his voice crack was tough.

You’re a genius too Knox, I love your break downs of his music, you always highlight what I miss so I’m even more in awe. Thank you.
    And I love that you guys are being real and talking about this stuff and feeling and sharing your emotions. I’m a 57 yr old woman and I’ve waited a long time for these moments. Gratitude brother.
    On another note, Knox, you’re always looking over my left shoulder, I’d love if you were to ‘look me in the eye’ sometime and look straight on 😜😘

    Great breakdown as always, but i can't help but notice the very first few notes of his piano playing is almost exactly the same as the Alice Cooper song "Steven" and I wonder if you think it's a tribute to that song, or if it's more of an influential coincidence... Great work as always!!!

    I love how he took three of his previously published songs, all about similar topics, and combined them in a backwards order - newest first, then the middle one and oldest song last. Like he's taking a trip down memory lane of his grieving process...

    That’s the thing about Ren’s music. I’ve listened to “Hi, Ren” dozens, maybe up to 100 times, and I still get whole body goosebumps. I can hear this as many times and still feel the grief. I can’t hear the Tale of Jenny and Screech without that feeling of being gut-punched. It is so real, it never gets old. Every time I hear it, it feels new, even though I know what’s coming.

    The truth is we have mass trauma in this world, we have all been exposed to so much suffering, whether it's our own or the suffering of others, starvation, war crimes, evil corporations, slavery... we have all lost our childhoods, and our children are losing their childhoods even faster. We all morn our lost childhoods... we long for hope, magic, miracles... maybe we should try to connect to helping each other without judgement. 😊❤ Love for all, hate for none...

    My best friend died at the Calgary Foothills hospital in 2004 after a workplace accident in Banff (a resort mountain town 2 hours away in the Rockies). We moved out there the previous winter to be ski bums and mountain bike in the summers. I've never gotten over that sudden death and seeing Ren do this song with the backdrop of Calgary about a best friend who died just brought out every emotion that I've kept to myself for 20+ years and only let out once in while by myself when something seems to hit me a particular way. Thanks Ren and Knox Hill, you make this world that much better to live in. Cheers
