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!

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.
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’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.
My son has suffered with schizophrenia for the last 20 years. Your music makes him feel like he's not alone in his suffering. Thank you.
got same suffering
Your son is far from alone... Also, look up Zbiegniev Preisner's "10 easy pieces for Piano" for the sound and feeling of venturing out into the world of sunlight and happiness and life after living in darkness with shuttered windows.... The very first song is the pain and hesitancy of stepping out into that sunlight for the first time...
None of us are alone, that’s what makes this music so powerful to me. It reminds me of that fact. Your son is lucky to have such an amazing and understanding father. I wish you both the absolute best in this world
Well you knew when you had a child that it could happen
@@Melnokina.-. Really? What's wrong with you?
“Some people know as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope”. Powerful words and only people who have been there will know that voice. Is Ren story true? I’d love to know I think I’d love it even more if it is.
100% true! Ren just recently told his story in a series of videos, ending with the release of his newest song, Troubles earlier this month. If you want to know more of his story (which I highly recommend), check it his Troubles playlist.
@@kathrynrogers4808 thank you I will.
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 😶
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!
There's rarely ever a time that you'd see my father cry, but when we found your song, especially the bit at the end around hope, we were moved to tears. Things aren't easy in our family, and not long before your song came out we'd lost a loved one who dealt with depression and psychosis to them hanging themself (The ' some people know me as hope, some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope' line REALLY got us). I think for my father, hearing the song and what you told us at the end really made him think more about others' experiences and took him out of his own opinions and mindset.
This song is raw, very open and insightful. It's beautiful and I cry every time I hear it.
Thank you for being open with us and thank you for making such a strong song.
I'm sorry for your loss but glad to know Ren was able to comfort your family in this way.
@@TanyaQueen182 Thank you ❤️
Beautiful, thanks for sharing and opening up!
@@ILTOMBA thank you for the kind comment! This comment section is filled with lovely people 😊
I'm still crying five minutes after listening. That line about the noose got me, too. I still have the scar on my neck.
Every time I come back to this video, I cry. I cry for different reasons, but I cry. Today, they are happy tears. Thank you Ren from the bottom of my soul.
Being sick is not easy for any of us. The light that music brings is eternal and life-giving. 💙
Cool so I'm not the only one lol
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 ❤
"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
Yes I will surely come off as crazy as Ren to some but I think music can find us when we need it. It's magical. I dunno if other magic is real but music exists so checkmate. Even animals like it. It makes the mammals and even plants react. Water I think I forget whatever Japanese experiment something about water and emotions maybe maybe music maybe both I don't know.
Truer words have never been uttered...in this case, eloquently, vociferously, beautifully, forcefully, benevolently....sung.
Hit home reduced to tears. Brighter the light, the darker the shadows.
You are hope. You’re souls purpose is to show hope, to spread hope, to be hope to all of us. Your art is beautiful. Heart wrentching, soul penetrating, and vibing at a frequency I never experienced before. Thank you. For your art, for your voice, for being you. ❤ I become more too, just from listening to you. Words don’t do this justice, words don’t do you justice. Just thank you.
- 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
This just blew me away. Never seen or heard anything like this.
Tragic, beautiful, immense, riveting
When people say EPIC this is what it really means.
Somewhere, Shakespeare is applauding 🙏🏻
Totally fucking agree 💯❤
What an awesome comment! 👏👏👏
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.
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?
I don't think you understand the meaning of this song. He's proving that you are the bad guy as a therapist. As well psychologists are the bad guys. You're never going to beat mental illness it's just going to exist whether you try to extinguish it or not. And all of your so-called therapies do more harm than good. You're hurting people with your practice it's not medicine but government incentivize torture of a vulnerable group. Anyone who knows what they're talking about knows that's the fact
georgekaknes, sorry that you've had such a bad experience with therapists. Like everything, there are good and bad therapists out there. And this song is not about that in any way. You're just reading into it. Ren does criticize the medical system, including the kind of therapists that are dismissive of their patient's true concerns, but he doesn't paint all of them with that brush
@@cathywethington5913 you would be right except for the fact that the only good therapist and this is a scientific fact proven by math and statistics. The only good therapist out their base their their findings on brain scans and objective evidence it's actually called objective evidence-based science. None of that is actually available to poor people or people on disability benefits. Unfortunately I have no evidence of a disability but the system especially the mental health system and my own family screwed me the f*** over. Not only do I have more intelligence than we don't have any intellectual disability there's no evidence of any kind of disability. Even the doctors that treat me knew this you know I was not only not intellectually disabled but brilliant they had no evidence you have no evidence to make any of their claims. Of course if you're rich this is a very different story. Do you know how many doctors that go towards poor people just don't care. Again it's not their fault you're concentrating of vulnerable presource.the toxic combination of extreme poverty usually people that actually would normally be in that situation are vulnerable because their families are horrible families like my own. Can you usually there's a lack of common Sense on the part of the parents that think that you know these things are happening. You're right there's a small very insignificant amount of therapists that will do the right thing but it's not because they're good people it's because their clientele rich people can brutally sue their asses and have a lot of say so because they have money. Are the the vast majority including those people would hurt anyone and would do everything based on complete pseudoscientific quackery and don't really care what they do to people because human beings are inherently more evil than good there is a shred of good in every human being the most nasty human has a little bit of good but the majority of humans in fact All humans regardless of if they say I'm an empath there's no such thing as a human there's no such thing as an inherently good or more good than bad human there are only really self-aware effective bad people who gather bad but there's others but they are aware of their badness so they're not going to hurt anybody with and they can channel it in a healthy way. Then finally there are people who have some kind of reward or something the consequence for their actions that can and will be done against. Since most mental health is done to vulnerable people who have been stripped of their credibility to be able to talk on behalf of these things the instructor of everything they've been they've been horribly treated there's there's no such thing as anything and it attracts predators it's like why are there so many pedophiles in school because you're got a vulnerable group that's never going to be taken seriously that will never in a million years be listened to that is unfortunately all densely packed in a single area. And it's like snakes or lions or tigers if you concentrate a prayer source you're going to attract predators.
I just stumbled upon Ren a few days ago and have been binging his work ever since. I grew up listening to CCR, the Eagles and The Beatles as a kid, then 90s grunge as a teen, later Indy Rock, watching the success of actual artists in music decline. They are still out there, but so often get lost amongst the manufactured models singing with auto tune. Songs written by some guy in Denmark. No soul, no depth. Empty.
Ren resonates with us because he is able to put into words to the human condition, the struggles that we all feel, the inner voice that tells us we are unworthy, frauds, that what we put into the world is trash. And in this song specifically, the feeling of hope and inherent ability we all have to overcome. On top of this message, the storytelling, the actual genius of the poetry in the lyrics. The flow of the lyrics and the masterful talent on a simple acoustic guitar. It is theater. It is art in a way that we rarely see today. This is the kind of art that feeds the soul. The absence of which in our mainstream society leaving many of us empty and hollow, filling that void with antidepressants and excess. Keep up the good fight Ren, and know that your work is making a difference.❤️
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole!
I hope you've checked out his stuff with his band, The Big Push?
Only 2 other songs have touched as deeply as this song. It is profoundly deep and captivating in performance and message. This is the proof that words are magic and the bard is the most powerful magician of them all.
Stay humble Ren. ❤
I’m interested to know what two songs you’re referring to. I love discovering new-to-me music, especially stuff that moves people.
Recently discovered Ren, Jelly Roll, and Oliver Anthony. Talk about 3 totally different personalities! All 3 artists have touched my soul in a way I didn't think possible.
Pink Floyd The Final Cut@@iputthemeinmediocre
What other songs might those be?
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
"And the people who find it respect it."
Facts Ren. Facts.
Facts
Thank you for saying the hard to say out loud, peace and light brother.
When he stands and belts it out, it’s breathtaking. Literally. I gasp every time I watch this. ❤
Me, too
🧸fr
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
🤗
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!!! 😁
This song never gets old. Hundreds of listens and it still gives me chills! Amazing piece of art!
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.
This could be the most powerful thing I've ever watched...
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 ❤

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
I’m commenting again.
I’m 53 and divorcing. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to this and how most times it brings me to agonizing tears. Now. Months later it brings me some of joy for having overcome most of the hardest parts of this journey I’m on. There are no winners and there are victims and this song has helped keep my son from being one through this. That’s all I concentrate on and in order to best serve him and his needs I have to face mine and this helps!
Thank you a thousand times over. Thanks for the fight. Thanks for the tears.
Ren, I really hope you are aware of what a masterpiece you've created.
I'm fighting against depression for several years now. This song is a catharsis... It's the voice I hear when I loosen the noose on the rope.
Love from Spain.
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.
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
Genuinely one of the most cleverly arranged and high impact songs I've ever heard. You're something special
Wow! I just came across this video/song and I am left covered in goosebumps and a bit dazed in thought! Thank you for creating this and sharing it with the world!
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.
As a war veteran with brain injuries, many demons, and constant rumination this speaks to me. Thanks for this.
Demons gotta go bro.

@@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'm just here to remind you, to tell you, to share.
Your song is amazing, harmonic, unique I dare.
Your poetry's flowing, blowing, your courage to bear.
Thank you for sharing, creating, for shouting the care.
Tim Ferriss sent me here. I'm still trying to process what I just experienced. My insides feel like jelly. I'm impacted by this but not sure how yet. Amazing Ren. Wow.
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 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.
This is beyond music my guy. This is a monologue turned into a song. Pure art. great job.
I seriously think Ren might be my new favorite musician. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I can't think of any other artist in recent memory where every single new song I've heard from them could be described as "masterpiece after masterpiece." I haven't had music effect me like this and get me emotional to this degree for the past 10 years. This guy is amazing man...
With you there. Every song, every video is a masterpiece
I've been in and out of the mental hospital since I was a teenager, by my count eight times now. Without sharing my diagnoses (I have a lot), I regularly have psychosis on top of mood swings and panic attacks, and as hard as its been for me, it's been harder for my family that can't understand. My father showed me this, and I think he was excited to be able to feel connected to me through music that he could relate to my mental health problems.
I'm not really one to leave comments, but I wanted to say thank you.
And I want to say thank you for leaving this comment as it is just as beautiful as this song and video. 💜
“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
I've heard this song maybe 100 times. It still hits the same. I've literally heard the voice when you loosen the noose on the rope. I've heard that voice! It spoke to me! That line breaks me down everytime. Thank you Ren. This has helped me so much every time I hear it.
that line hit me like a train. About 5 years ago i was going to kill myself by being hit by a train and the only thing that stopped me was thinking if I survived.
Stay strong mate.
This song has had a profound impact on me. Truly amazing. It's like the perfect depiction/explanation of my mental state at times. Like you've explained my own emotions/thoughts and feelings better than I ever could. Can't wait to hear your other stuff! Unbelievable talent ❤
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
Oh my, this is the first time in a while that I actually love the artist and not just a song. All of your songs are so deep. Thank you for sharing with the world
Absolutely blown away by this, an incredible piece, the set, the lighting, the guitar, the costume, your performance, and the words, such powerful, incredible and moving words… you have truly blown me away! Thank you!
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!
I hear u💛
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!
Thank you for this. It helped me when I struggled to feel like others didn't understand what psychosis does to you and how one copes inside.
Absolutely the way I feel each day! Great story in a form you are obviously gifted with, all my love Ren!
Cor this song is exactly my head some days,glad I've found you @RenMakeMusic....keep it going
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
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. ❤
Tim Ferriss recommended I listen to this. I have a loved one who suffers from mental illness, so I could relate to this. Thank you. I liked and subscribed. Enjoying - if that is even possibly the right word - your other videos. I could not even begin to express my praise for your musical and poetic abilities, let alone your insights into your problems and solutions. I am already sharing.
WOW! What a work of art. A friend shared it to me, so will I certainly share it on here in Oz and abroad. What a breath of fresh air for such a poetic performance and best of all to finish in the Light. Thank you for an incredible experience.
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 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.
Incredible Lyric, so many self proclaimed main stream media pop music muscians, artists (whatever) havent a clue the function of such genious expression... and more importantly how to articulate and present it.. communicating a message so abstarctly CLEAR!
30 Million 🎉🎉 Let's celebrate!!!
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
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?
I have just randomly stumbled on ren here n I got to say u mate are a genius
Love you music n the way u get them across
Can’t wait to hear more from ya
holy shit what a journey that song was ! glad i discovered this piece right here tonight ! amazingly done ! deff gonna look for more of your stuff keep up the good work
This guy may not be the next Jimi Hendrix but he will be the first Ren. And what I've heard from him in music and poetry over the last few years is already making waves. Ren is a concentrate of talent and creativity that connects. People of different musical genres, skin colors and age groups come together and enjoy his works. This is so much more than music!
Great bit of advert writing there. Bud
"... but he will be the first Ren."
Holy shit, dude. Would that anyone ever had reason to say that about me.
There will be songs in the future referencing "you think you're the next Ren?". Guaranteed!
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...
I didn’t expect much. But this is one of THE best performances I have seen in many many years! Beautiful work. Wonderful, Ren
Thank you for this song Ren, it has helped me more than I am willing to say here. Thanks mate.. much love..
Holy shit. This isn't a song, this is a dissertation on the raw, internal struggle of man kind written and performed by a poet and musician.
"some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope"
the raw honesty here is just an incredibly rare thing that most people won't show you. mad respect to you Ren
Yesssss ... ugh
I just stumbled across this song, and everytime I play it, it gets a little more beautiful. I can't seem to word it properly, but the struggle in this song seems something so relevant to my mate that had his life cut short so suddenly. Thank you for persisting, Ren. Thank you for pushing through all your struggles and creating music that make us think and reflect. Few artists can do that, and they're not heard on the radio.
Dude, you are my new Jamb. I totally saw myself in your story of time. Human we are. And life of love we all seek. The battle to find ourselves is real. And the walks of life are real. And a friend to have along the way. Is a blessing.
You Rock Ren. A Totally amazing out of the box song. Original indeed.
Ren, this was incredible.
At 14 I began fighting autoimmunity. At 20 began illness and dialysis
At 26 was diagnosed with PTSD and Psychosis.
I've never been able to speak of my battles. Nobody understood. Man, that speech in the end broke me. I know how to describe my life to the ones I love man.
Thank you.
Look up Andrew Wommack's A Better Way To Pray and How To Hear God's Voice series on RUclips.Then read Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer.😇
Also look up nervus vagus therapy and parasymphatic tuning. They are reaching extraordinary results with both illnesses.Evidence based!
Chronic fatigue syndrome here and CTPSD. I believe the two are linked - one goes down, the other does. Physical and mental.. Hugely grateful to Ren for the superbly creative way to express all this and others for sharing their journey. xxxx
I have a suggestion for you, since it started with autoimmunity, look into nutritional therapy, carnivore diet, keto diet modifications, doctors are introducing that as a treatment, paychiatrist Chris Palmer is one. Please look into things that are even very unpopular at this time. You are accountable for your health, don’t just deal with symptoms.
@@JC-du6sn god isn't real! If there truly was a creator do you honestly believe he'd be happy with humankind destroying and polluting 'His' creation? Humankind CONSTANTLY killing each other? No! There is no higher power, there is only humans exploiting each other, killing each other, hating each other! Your prayers have no effect. Religion is just a tool of oppression, keeping others under control and in fear.
“You think 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 gotta kill you if you wanna kill me”

Appreciate that Corey and I'm glad the song connected!!!!
Came from that post!

@coreyms, lol, I've just been watching your Pandas tutorial.
We r here because of you !!
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!💜
Hi Ren. Your music means so much to me. Today, another day has passed, with the yet again renewed sting of a new medical provider’s abject antipathy towards me, so I came back to listen to your catalogue again, looking for the strength to have continued hope. Your music has kept me floating many times. I wanted to say thank you for today in particular.
Congratulations Ren 🎊 Many more millions need to see this masterpiece 👏👏 and hear your other songs🎶🎶🎶 such a versatile artist, an amazing lyricist & musician 👍
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.
"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!

Amazing 😍 I heard Hi Ren for the first time this week. I can relate in so many ways. You're a gift to this world. Thank you.
Ren, I'm 66 years old. I've been a music fan for as long as I can remember. This isn't a song, this is opera, this is something altogether new. This has touched me like nothing before. Keep fighting the good fight. And remember there is always "Hope" .
Man I'm 61yo and totally agree... this is inspiring and brilliant, sad yet eye opening
Fucking perfect. Concept. Performance. Lyrics. Message. Cinematography. Deserves a Grammy. Bravo!

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
Just wanted to say I’m a 46 year old man, I’ve been to war, through tragedy, watched my mother and father pass in hospitals in the span of 18 months. I’ve dealt with what came to me as a father of four cuz I’ve had to. Through it all I’ve barely shown emotion, not understanding how to deal with any and all of it. This song hit me so hard. I’ve listened to it over a dozen times and I have a hard time not tearing up each and every time. It’s literally hope. It’s the epitome of watching someone rise above struggle come manifest before my eyes. I have no words to describe how much I appreciate this song, your lyrics, your performance. Thank you
Brother you are valuable, your feelings are real and deserve expression. Treat yourself the way you treat everyone else. I am a 43 year old father of 5. Recently accepted the fact that even though I am the strongest man in the room, I have never had a relationship that wasnt a bitch abusively plundering my life, especially the one with my recently dead father. Realize and celebrate yourself, bones to the rest of them for a minute.
Love you man, life’s not always easy but it is worth it in the end and then onto the unknown
SKILLLLL ISSUE!
@@TekPoy have some respect
get a job lil nigga
And every year i find that ONE jewel.... Keep it up Ren !!! We NEED artists. REAL ones... You struck me in the hart man !!! ❤❤❤
Pure truth, love your music brother, found it on a random drop and im hooked, thank you for making this its something special lad 😀
Today at 11:50pm I found this piece. And it’s the last 10 minutes of the 4th anniversary of losing my father to suicide. He endured a long battle with depression, drug abuse, and extremely severe psychosis. Eventually the demons won and took him from us. I know that if he were here he would have loved this video. In my years of seeing my fathers struggle, I’ve never quite heard anyone put it into perspective like this. And for that, I thank you Ren. RIP papa I love you ❤️
Lost my sister Oct 29, 2021 to suicide.. Agree with your comment. Wishing you love & peace until you're reunited with your Daddy..❤🕊️❤️

Phil's wife Susan here. Have you listened to Ren's song "Suicide". I lost my Dad to this when I was nine years old and found Ren's songs about this subject cathartic to listen to. Just hearing the word being sung out loud which nobody would talk about back then. If you enjoyed "Hi Ren" I recommend checking out more of his catalogue. There is heaps of great music on it.
God bless
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.
Ren, I am healing from childhood narc abuse and learning how to deal with my unknown neurodivergence. For the first time i truly believe someone else understands what it's like to break the conditioning. Tell your inner crazy, mine said to stfu and leave you alone. ❤
This is an absolute master peace. 10/20 years from now ill be back listening to this. good work man and i relate,,,.. perfection
I'm discovering this after losing my daughter, we wrote music together , and had an amazing relationship .. since losing her I have been unable to play, I am surrounded by instruments and fun equipment but yet cannot even play a note..
I was on the edge , questioning my purpose on this earth .
I watched your performance and it hit me differently than anything else.
All I can say is thank you..
No you did not cure me , but you have made me aware .
I scheduled my first therapy session and although I still can't make music, I am hopeful that I can overcome these demons that have overtaken my mind..
Thank you Ren.
Sorry for your loss brother, I couldn't even imagine. Hope that you will get back into music because in the end, music is the therapy and music is life. My condolences and much love.
All the best brother. Some day you will be together again and untill then Champ: DO IT! Much Love.
Sorry for your loss brother.
I believe in you, Seth. The music stood silent the day you lost your daughter. But I hope one day you'll play again. For although she lives in your heart, she comes alive within your music. I wish you all the best in the future. One day you'll play a note, and it'll be the most beautiful note... I'm rooting for you.
If you ever need someone to talk to, message me.
I’m so sorry for you pain & loss Seth, please know your Daughter is still with you, she’s just in the next room ❤️🤗✝️🙏🏽 God Bless you 🎶💕
