    Ren puts it into words so perfectly. The feeling of losing a friend to suicide is seriously hard to deal with, and the guilt of not being able to help them is the hardest part of it. This song makes me cry every time I hear it because it hits home so hard. I'm not sure I'll ever get past the 'what ifs'. He is such a word smith, and could quite easily be one of the greatest musicians out there at the moment.

    Thank you for your honest and genuine reaction. Ren's best friend, Joe Hughes, committed suicide on the 27th of December, 2010 by jumping off the Menai Bridge, a large suspension bridge connecting the mainland to the Isle of Anglesey where Ren and Joe lived. Ren alluded to it in one of his songs, stating that he lost his best friend before he was 25. The pain of this loss is evident in a few of his songs. "How to Be Me," "Freckled Angels," "Su!cIde," and this release, “To Joe,” are specifically dedicated to Joe.
    Ren recently posted some background on his relationship with Joe and the tragic suicide. Ren explained that he got a call from his friend Ella around 3 am saying that Joe was on the Menai Bridge, He’d been on the phone with her in tears saying goodbye. He told her to tell everyone he loved them. Ren went out on foot attempting to get to Joe while trying to reach him on the phone. Just minutes before Ren got to the bridge, his friend's cell phone went out of service. The Coast Guard started a search to no avail. Ren, friends, and volunteers unsuccessfully searched the shoreline for ten days; Joe’s body was never recovered.
    Ren’s song "Su!cIde" gutted me, and I was not able to watch or listen to it again until now. I have not even been able to watch a single reaction to it. It was a sad, haunting, gut-wrenching tribute. My best friend took his life 38 years ago. However, after listening to "For Joe" several times, I came to the realization that as sad and emotional as this song is, it has had a healing effect on me and has given me a sense of closure. Even the lyrics of the epilogue from "Su!cIde" that "gutted" me impacted me differently this time around.
    Anthony Ray (@AnthonyRay) said after reacting to this performance (I am paraphrasing) that he felt that after all these years, Ren seems to have found a measure of acceptance regarding the loss of his best friend. Anthony's comment suddenly made me aware of the song's impact on me, and I am actually able to watch or listen to "Su!cIde" again. Although I will probably not watch any reactions to it, as I consider this song to be much too personal, and watching someone else's grief would only compound my pain.
    Thomas Goldschmidt (@thomasgoldschmidt298) remarked, "For Joe" is a continuation of "Su!cIde," displaying the five stages of grief, adding acceptance to the end of his last song…..This song and the sobbing hug he received from Joe's mom after showing the video bring closure to all involved!
    I think ending "For Joe" with lines from "Freckles Angels" left me with a more optimistic outlook. It is as if Ren is trying to tell us that even though some of our loved ones are physically gone from our life, their memory continues to live in and through us. I think that is why I got a sense of closure and peace.

    Beautiful, heartfelt reaction both! Ren's pain and anguish in this is palpable and heartbreaking. If you read the notes below the video Ron says that he played this one for Joe's Mum and Dad when he returned to the UK from Calgary. It seems it was cathartic for all. I hope so. Ren is one of a kind. Thank you for doing reactions to his music. All the best from the UK

    Ren is an artistic genius!
    "Suicide" is a must watch for anyone who is contemplating suicide. The first part in their own view, he second part shows what that does to people left behind.
    "For Joe" adds to the second part of "Suicide", which describes the first four stages of grief, a part that describes "acceptance" and brings closure for everyone involved, especially considering that Joe's mon sobbingly hugged Ren after he showed her this video. The whole surrounding including raising 21,000 pound for the RNLI and giving Joe's parents 50% of the proceedings from "Freckled Angles" which they used to buy a campervan for what they were saving for is genius!

It’s obvious that you are open and willing to listen to give him a chance to share his heart and mind.

    Beautiful reaction! Here are a few songs that are bar heavy to give you a breather from the last two vids - The Hunger and Losing It. What you Want is also a fun song (his homage to the Beastie Boys. It’s so brave of Ren to put his life on display through his music whether it’s beautiful or tragic. I think it’s important to listen to all sides of Ren.

    Beautiful reaction both of you. Previous song was dark this performance is light - sad with Ren dealing with grief be healing even if Ren continues to deal with grief.
    If you watch the Knox 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.

    Thank you for your sensitive reaction to this. I've listened to this many times. Today for the first time it occurred to me that the repetition of the passage at the beginning of this, from suicide, is also a classic way minds work. We repeat, over and over again, word for word, the painful passages of our lives. Here he made that mental habit manifest.

    Yes, the lyrics at the start of this are from the end of the sing "Suicide". The lyrics at the end of this song are from the song "Freckled Angels" - the sing he wrote and sang at Joe's memorial. He mashed them together and added some in the middle to make it a cohesive single song.
