    Hello beautiful people!
    Volume 1 of my Demos mixtape is out everywhere now! Four new tracks dropped today
    Check it out and let me know what you think here
    smarturl.it/RenDemos
    Lyrics:
    Hello
    Uh, its Ren
    I dont really know how to start this letter
    fuck it
    Is this life really what it seems
    ‘cause latley I’ve been in this place between awake and dreams
    i know i only reach out to you when I’m feeling blue
    i promise im not using you
    I’m just confused
    I’ve got some questions I would like some answers too
    like is there meaning to this state of short existence?
    my exestential thoughts sure hope there are cause I’m resistant
    to thinking that there won’t be something better in the distance
    and god is there and afterlife where pain is non existent
    if your up there god do you sit upon a throne?
    or a you a humble soul wearing sandals and tattered clothes
    do you mingle with the people like an equal
    then on sundays just kick back and chill and put your feet up
    did i really choose this life that I’m living now
    will my sins be forgiven if i speak them out
    i won’t lie to you god if there is a heaven
    i really hope i get there cause for real it sounds like heaven
    reading passed the lines
    i just let go
    searching for prophets
    my faith it is paper thin
    so many questions in my mind
    they replay like an echo
    they never stop my messiah is porcelain
    dear god
    why do people kill each other in your name?
    is it really what you want or have we lost our way?
    cause it seems like religion can cause division
    or people living in prisons of moral values they’re given
    what is right and what is wrong
    am i a sinner if i dont comply with everything that moses said
    or is that dumb
    and why do people disguise hatred in your name
    homophobia, a history of violent wars, and causing people
    high priests in their towers stacking riches
    women burnt at the stake called witches
    in the name of god, allah, zeus, jesus
    people claiming lives justified by your alligance
    i think its more complex than good versus evil
    i think that theres both darkness and light inside people
    and through different eyes a man called a terrorist
    could be a freedom fighter if he’s fighting for the side you’re with
    reading passed the lines
    i just let go
    searching for prophets
    my faith it is paper thin
    so many questions in my mind
    they replay like an echo
    they never stop my messiah is porcelain
    So is it ignorant to claim that we know what you want
    and if i fast for the sabbath is that what you want
    or is tradition just superstition,
    religion a human vision just crafted out of peoples ambition
    listen
    i knew a girl that lost a baby before it was born
    what is the purpose of that god
    what is it for
    why did my best friends die
    before i hit 25
    is it cause there is something better in the afterlife
    god, I’ve been feeling suicidal lately
    mental health is worsening
    feels like it might break me
    if you’re watching, you know that I’ve been strong
    but god how much longer do i have to hold on
    please just give me some solace
    so that i know you’ve got my back
    please just give me some relief
    god, is that too much to ask?

      You want it there because you can relate to the lyrics so it's confirmation bias for you. Their POV is that life is constant cope and when people think about it, they get closer to bad stuff happening to them, so it's a bad idea to remind them of how it is. So they would rather play happy braindead music.

      @@fatjuicymeatball2266 not to a lot of people. the "us vs them" mindset is the root of most racism, foreign hate, white supremacy etc. our brains are still evolutionary programmed to think "our tribe good their tribe bad" because until we started living in cities, meeting a different group of people was genuinely terrifying. it doesn't help that a large portion of our current world leaders also push narratives to polarize the people to divide and conquer, making us fight among ourselves instead of looking at what's wrong with society at a macro level. Trump is a prime example of this, and he has perfected the "art".
      so while it SHOULD be obvious, it really isn't. the Palestine vs Israel conflict is literally kids fighting for a toy, and because all Abrahamic religion has placed such an importance on the land, it'll never end.

    Hmmmm.... It's worrying to think that someone like Ren could easily slip through the cracks of a massively broken thing like the ‘Music Business’. I for one am so grateful that Ren and his fans have worked so hard at getting stuff out there to the people who need it most. Someone sent his music and poetry my way, or i found it, even if it was just the RUclips algorithm, although i'm sure it was via some Big Push viewings years ago... anyway I’m thankful and will continue to rant on about Ren to anyone who'll listen and hopefully add my little bit of promo along the way. From comments on this and other tracks it’s clear to see that Ren has literally saved lives, right here, right NOW, and will hopefully continue save those lives, or at least make people question things or seek help, for a long time to come. More than ever Music and life is changing, how we consume things and how we discover them, WE are in a position now to determine what's important to US and not rely on what the business wants to feed us. I'm hoping that Ren, an independent artist, continues in his path and blows our minds with what's coming next. Stay strong my brother.✌

I could say he this guy REN why is he not allready worldfamous I only can answer to myself because he is allready great and I think that you know this a little bit you are very smart and intelligence I trust you the way you handle this and you will find that Open Door and many I asume among us will find it and questions for God are never wrong ✍👋❤

My faith was being upended due to my brother's terminal cancer diagnosis. This song specifically (but the artist in general) really touches the soul and got me through some dark times, so thanks, man.

    The way you express your thoughts and views,It's really beautiful, sometimes I have a hard time explaining it to myself by saying it, Because this song played at a critical moment, when I thought about ahem 'killing myself' But somehow I stopped thinking about it, because I feel represented by this music, Even at the beginning of the music I already understood it, I'm not a religious person, my faith is as thin as paper, I only pray to God at critical times, Sometimes I curse God for injustice which gives birth to jealousy, I always feel pressured that I have to be better and I don't know where the pressure comes from, Sometimes religious people always spread their religion but in the end it becomes a political weapon and a trigger for war, I have a lot of regrets, I was leaning in my room and confused with my God, what do I really want? Why was I born? Why is there evil in this world? If there were you, why would you let them? And the cycle of my life goes round and round, until now.

Just like he did on the cross. He didn't bitch out and start begging for them to stop or ask his father why me, he knew. Why would anyone be mad at the Jews over Christ crucifixion. He was a Jew and it was God's will that he die for our sins. If it hadn't happened we would be truly screwed. ❤all you

    im personally atheist but dont do anything bad please. just because there isnt an afterlife, just because there isnt an inherent meaning to this mad and unknowable universe, that doesnt mean our limited life isnt worth living.
    we have an effect on people. our decisions can change things, for better or worse. so even if there isnt a higher meaning, there can be a personal meaning. a meaning to be good. to help people.
    and even if that doesnt sound like enough: maybe the meaning of life is just to live. to do what you enjoy because you enjoy it. maybe thats all you really need.

I prayed for the solace and peace that you seek. This past year I have had breast cancer surgery, been to several funerals, and my son was tempted by suicide. Yet, I have hope. You are loved. I feel like HE wants me to tell you that. It isn't often that I feel a warm comfort in my chest when I pray, but I did tonight when I prayed for you and for the people who follow you.
    HE LOVES YOU!!!!
    HE loves all of you! The pain that you may be going through, may feel unending, but HE wants you to know that he is by your side trying to take your hand and walk through this with you.
