Who's here re-listening after "For Joe"? 😢 Joe was so lucky to have such an amazing friend as Ren. Ren is so lucky to have met such an amazing friend as Joe.
the pain in his voice kills me
If ren sings, you now it really comes from the heart.
The live performance ♡♡♡♡♡
You can hear him cry at the end 😭
Every single time
It gives me life.
We laid my daughter to rest yesterday and I played this song along with Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix. You see, my daughter was also a freckled angel. Thank you Ren for writing a song that I could share with friends and family during our grief. You will always have a place in my heart.
❤omg I'm so sorry.... God bless her, you and your family. I know how hard it is to loose a loved one, lost my favorite cousin to suicide, ... my daughter is only living too far away from me, still kills me.. idk. Just wanted to say I'm sorry...this music helps w the bad shit
@@WarriorMongoose thanks, I miss her so much 💔.

July 1983 I lost my best friend in Uni, I don't make friends easily but the first year of Uni saw us crying with laughter as we regularly bounced off each others personalities. he was a true artistic talent and I used his standard as a level I needed to work hard to attain just to keep up. almost 40 years ago and it never leaves you, not fully, nor would i ever want it to Rest easy David
❤❤❤☮️🇬🇧
Ren - you will probably never read this but this song has hit a chord in me like a song never has, it has literally saved my life and I thank you for that. I was the one stood on the edge of a bridge not so long ago and this song talked me down it made me think of my boys who have supported me through life and how they would feel! So thank you brother keep smashing it bro you deserve all the success you are finally getting. Love Brother
happy that the realisation that there is people that care about you and would miss you! this goes so much deeper than this but its youtube comments but i understand you
Don't know you but sending you love. Thanks for making that decision.
I hope Ren does read this x I hope life is better for you now xx
Lost my brother last September. He was larger than life, both figuratively and literally. Funniest guy you ever met, and could be fiercest too. I love Ren's talent, but had been avoiding this one because Ren always pulls so hard at my heartstrings... This one broke me in the most beautiful way. My brother's name is Joe too. Wasn't expecting the ending. Thank you Ren. You are a beautifully talented, amazing soul.
I am sorry. Love from Little Rock, Arkansas. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️
@@Just_JennAy Thank you so much. That's extremely sweet.Right back at ya from Houston. 💙💙🙏
@@drewperry4626 ♥️♥️♥️ Stay strong, brother! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Sorry for your loss. Love and hugs from Ireland.
Sending you a great big hug from the U.K. 🫂stay strong hun 💕
Lyrics:
Could I have just a day
Where I'd get to see your face
I would laugh and you would skate
Hanging out by the pier cave
Chasing dreams, freckled face
No inhibitions, acest mates
Tell me everything's okay
You never meant to go away
And I need something to hold on to
And I wish I could hold on to you
'Cause I will never ever forget you
And bet, I know you'll be soaring through
Because...
Freckled angels laugh the hardest
And their hearts, they are the largest
With their wings, they fly the farthest
So I know you're gonna be okay
Freckled angels live the longest
And their minds, they are the strongest
All their friends, they are the fondest
So I know you're gonna be okay
Could I have just a sec?
Please pull me out of this wreck
Crack a joke and tense your pecks
Act the fool, but with excellence
And everytime I laugh it reminds me of you
The funniest guy I ever knew
I've got so much left to say
Hope I can tell you all some day
And I need something to hold on to
And I wish I could hold on to you
'Cause I will never ever forget you
And bet, I know you'll be soaring through
Because...
Freckled angels laugh the hardest
And their hearts, they are the largest
With their wings, they fly the farthest
So I know you're gonna be okay
Freckled angels live the longest
And their minds, they are the strongest
All their friends, they are the fondest
So I know you're gonna be okay
I hope you can hear me singing to you
'Cause if so
I'll sing until my voice shatters, and my lungs they explode
I'll sing over a crowded room so they all know
How much I really miss you...
Miss you Joe
Freckled angels laugh the hardest
And their hearts, they are the largest
With their wings, they fly the farthest
So I know you're gonna be okay
Freckled angels live the longest
And their minds, they are the strongest
All their friends, they are the fondest
So I know you're gonna be okay
Joel
@@mccullough3359 no it's Joe you can check the description of the video
It's joe. Also thank you for putting g this up
Please, explain, who is Joe?
@@ismaelb.9181 joe was one of ren’s best friends, they always hung out together and laughed, joking around, but around 8 months before ren released this song joe committed su!cide. It only gets sadder I’m sorry to say, but ren was with joe in a bar a few nights before joe died and joe told him how sad he was, then laughed it off and joe left, ren never saw him again. The night when it happened, one of ren’s other friends called him frantically in the middle of the night saying that joe was on a bridge a little while away from ren’s house, ren began running whilst trying to call joe, until the number went out of service. Ren was only 2 minutes away. Im pretty sure a portion of the money that ren earned from one of his recent songs; su!cide went to REN’s parents.
I don't think there's another artist, who can grab my heart like this and squeeze out feeling I didn't even know I had...
Hans zimmer and Howard shore.
Ren! When you talk about getting to the bridge too late in Knoxhill’s interview, it is incredibly heart-breaking!!! But, it sounds like that experience ironically ended up saving you from a similar fate years later when you wanted to give up during the worst of your illness. You knew you could not put your loved ones through that kind of pain.
Joe would be so proud of how you have honored his memory and used your music to bring others out of the darkness. 💔❤️🩹❤️
Now knowing what this song truly means to ren makes it 10 times more heart touching ❤
probably will be missed, but, thank you for this song Ren, and sorry for your loss
I lost my best friend Ash the end of 2021, and, since i found this song, it always reminds me of him, as, he sounds just the same as what you describe of Joe in the song
now i know this wont be seen but i wanted to say this, to just say a big thank you, from me, Ashleys best friend, and his family too, we all love the song
My sister lost her fight with cancer last friday and this song makes me cry so much. I do think it gets better tho
i’m so sorry i came to this as late as i did but i hope you’re coping okay
Sorry for your loss
God rest her soul 🙏
@Lia Laut God bless you. I hope it has got easier for you. I'm no stranger to loss and I know those you loved and lost come to visit your thoughts when you least expect it. 💙
The beauty of the lyrics are so powerful. Man this made me cry and realize times to short to live in the depths of pain. 😢
RIP Joe.
Lost my wife in 2015. She was truly a special person to "save a wretch like me". This song took me by the heart and made me relive the good days and the hope that I'll see her again. Thank you, Ren...your music is affecting millions of people like myself.
R.I.P. Joe Hughes, bless you bro this song brought me closer to my freckled Angel, my best mate took his life 4 years ago and this brought me closer to him in these few days than I've been in them four years gone, I have nothing but pictures to remind me of freck and they honestly do not cut it for me, this is the powerful healing your soul possess bro.
Such a fantastic Artist, Ren delivers on many levels. Many styles. Wish him all success in Canada. Wish him a speedy recovery.
Hopefully one day all his music will be available in a physical format, for a old timer like me.
This song still makes me cry and I've been listening to it for over a year. A beautiful track. Cheers to you and Joe xx
This song works so strongly also for those who lost someone still living in this world, but lost for any reason, life circumstances, mental illness... It even works for those of us who lost ourselves, our life, our years of what we could have been if we were not isolated from society... ❤️
@@VesnaMackovicconcordo;!
I'm so sorry. I believe he is soaring, proud of you
Two weeks ago we said goodbye to my daughter’s 22 yr old best friend. She had a rare form of aggressive cancer no one knew about until it was too late. She was a daughter to us, too. This song really hits home.
rip jesse :( my brother i miss you! 13 years gone to long. i miss that freckle face, im sorry the demons got you. dont worry ill always stay golden \m/ thank you ren for this song it truly means alot. its just some pain just never goes away
Hi Ren, thanks so much for your songs and the universe you share with us. My french fellows and I we luckily discovered you in Brighton singing with Sam and we fell in love. Keep going on man, your lyrics talk to everybody and I feel like humanity is still on the road ! With love from France.
Not going to comment on the relationship and loss of Joe... which is absolutely, undeniably, something that's so personal... how the fuck can I say something you about it...
in the year 2023... listening to something that was produced 6-7 years ago... is refreshing. and heartbreaking,and refreshing. its a weird juxtaposition. knowing the history and dealing with modern "ren".
Where's my heart and where's my head?
is there a difference or is it the same ... no experience ... but feeling?
this album... is 8 years too late... or should I say its 8 years stuck in time loop... and I AM FINALLY hearing a voice that has been pushed down deep into my (fill in the blank).
When I need to cry I just put play here
Gorgeous song Ren. I hope your friend is resting in peace. I’m sure he would be so proud of you for this song and your own journey. 🥃
I’ve cried so many times with a smile on my face bc of Ren. Thanks Ren.
Thank you for making such a beautiful, heartfelt, emotional song for everyone to experience
Amazing. Pure talent. Every song you write Ren shows every emotion inside and your passion is phenomenal.
For someone to go through everything that you have and put it all into your music and for it to be this good and affect and help so many people around the world with your inspiration is beautiful.
Well done and stay strong.
Also.
Love what you and Sam done on the streets of Brighton. Awesome. 🎤🎼🎸
My best friend died 25 years ago when we were 19. This makes me remember him in such a good way. Love you Tags and miss you every day
This breaks my heart. 💔 having any loss is so hard but to lose someone so young and in a tragic way. That must be a different type of hurt
The history behind this song makrs me cry
My heart just broke. I'm so sorry to anyone who has had to go through this.
I’m sorry that it has taken this long to find your music.
You’re a beautiful human.
Thank you for showing us that it’s okay to be vulnerable.
I’m sorry for your loss bro.
I hope these treatments go well.
I hope you end up getting the Grammy you deserve.
I hope that one day you’re able to make it to Australia so we can see you perform live.
You’re gonna change the world bro ❤
This song helped me get through my dog's death and is still helping me through the death of my childhood friend. Thank you so much Ren
Losing loved one's is easier when you know that they are not lost. They are with you when you need them. When you get tears thinking about them, that's when they are touching your heart. Letting you know that *they are here with you. Love is the only thing that you can take with you to the other side. Love is the most valuable thing in the world. When people are only in love with themselves I hope they see that isn't valuable to them on the other side. ❤️
Edit: missed a word * lol #ren
Different again from Ren,going backwards and discovering Ren's catalogue 🇬🇧👍
Expecting the views on this to rocket again now. For you Joe ❤
My beloved Brooke died suddenly a few weeks ago at the age of 44. She was a huge fan of you, Ren, buying all her friends and family your albums. I miss her so! She was definitely a bright light in this world, and her friends are the fondest! Thank you, Ren, for this beautiful song. XO
I came here after I read the sad story about how he met his friend Joe it’s 3am where I am right now and I am crying thanks to this man but it’s okay his lyrics are fantastic I love him I wish to meet him one day ❤️
We call freckles angel kisses at our house. My freckled daughter inherited them from her beautiful birth mother and we love them! This song really touched me. So sorry for your pain, Ren.
Beautiful. There’s something about the melody that really get me 💜
Here after “for joe”, this is beautiful Ren
Happy birthday Joe
Rip Joe Hughes

ur genuinely a fantastic musician and i hope i get to see you some day
It's a good day for rain.
damn, this got me in the feels bro, came to listen after your interview with knox. He'll be watching down on ya man and willing you on in your success guaranteed
If you have an eyelash in your eye, listen to this and it is coming out.
I could listen to songs about Joe all day long
My brother saw you in Brighton and brought your album. I listen to it way too much. It's amazing. Keep up the amazing work
This song is a painful reminder of my freckled angel brother. Tim Barnes Jr. 4-10-63 to 6-4-2023 r.i.p. I miss you bro, the funniest guy I know.
Timeless. Incomparable. Maybe the greatest love song ever written. Rip my heart out poetry. Music worthy of the angel it was written for, and I am so grateful to you for sharing this with us.
Ren you are truly a gift to this world. Thank you for everything you do.
Beautiful tribute for those who still live in our hearts. ❤️🩹🫶🏼
Going through some hard times lately.. Thank you for shining the light through the darkness my friend.. You are the best
My best friend left a while ago. This song just destroyed me in all the best ways. I haven't cried at a song like I did to this one in a long time.
This has to take the spot as my favorite song by ren. Gets me in tears every time. I even got the freckled Angels logo tattooed on me. Thank you ren, for your music.
Emojis don't exist to express how this song spoke to my soul. Thank you for opening up so we all can experience something real in art.
Wow Ren , you really are a special dude..
I think I have a anthem now..
Couldn't have be more beautifully done. Like all that you do. I listen to you guys nearly every single day. Can't get enough of you, Cory and Romain as well.
Ren I’ve listen to your music for the last two days straight!! Incredible is all I can say ❤ can’t wait to listen to more
Its almost the year anniversay of my own freckled angel left this world, my sister Vanessa. Cancer took her and this song always makes me think of what a shining light she was. Thank you for this song Ren.
my mam was a freckled angel, and i miss her, so much it makes my teeth hurt, this makes me think of her... thank u Ren
im so mad at how versatile u can be...this is so beautiful
This one hurts for real! Thank you Ren for sharing your pain, it lets me know I'm not alone. I'm sorry for the things you are going through. Would give you a hug if I could! 💙🎶⚓
Ren; There is just no end to the depth of your talent. After watching your videos for months and loving every one of them I came across this one. The quality of this piece jumped out at me and makes me feel this is your best work yet, music and lyrics are so well written. Cheers to you Ren for good health, peace and joy. Beware of the smokey air over Calgary.
Always gets me the most this one does, can't listen without a tear.
What a wonderful tribute.
I’m planing on heading to Anglesey over new year and freckled angels is on the bucket list.
Thank you Ren for giving a light in the dark.
I'm so sorry ❤
I didnt know i needed it in my life until i got that random yt video. Thanks mate, i love your work, keep it going! Greetings from poland
You're an angel my friend, keep showing people your heart with this passion.
@Ren I just watched a reaction video to this song by Black Pegasus, it was my first time hearing it and I was crying so hard because I lost my brother 4 years ago. Everything you said in the song is how I think about him. Thank you very much for the song ❤
Wow. Just fucking wow. I live in the US (Maryland) and just discovered the gift to humanity that is Ren. I’ve been going down a beautiful REN hole online every night for 2 weeks and just when I think I’ve streamed it all….
The English language hasn’t invented adjectives that adequately describe this man’s talent.
So true. I've spent a year trying but failing to tell anyone who will listen how good Ren is. This language is not adequate.
Memories will never be forgotten 🍀🌷☀️
What a great album. Only discovered your music recently and love the emotion; lyrically brilliant! (Really like The Big Push music too).
Without realising it when you wrote this song you have helped many people .
Ren! Omg this is such a heartfelt song! I love your style but the pain in your voice. It’s a really good song
Sam
Some folks journal to sort out emotions, situations etc. Ren writes lyrical masterworks. I think I heard be strong and trust the process recently. Not sure which song fits that theme though(this one or For Joe -new verses-something to think about). Thanks for the creativity. Looking forward to what comes next. Fly high and true. No more tattered wings(aak- more connections, synchronicity, eh?)
You can legit hear his tears at the end
Made me remember an awsome friend i used to have and the funny times with him! tripping eachother up, pushing eachother into doors/bushes, goodtimes!
Just wait... There are a lot of people who haven't discovered most of Ren's works.
Sobbing so hard right now - this spoke straight to my heart.
❤my best friend/fiancé, Pete, was a freckled guy. He's now in heaven. And he was amazing. I know he's ok now. I'm just not ok today. This song is so good! It literary let me have him here for a little bit. I'm crying too. ❤
Thank you for this.
Just so beautiful! 💙
I'm so sorry for your loss. You're keeping his memory alive, thank you for sharing this song with us. This song is so beautiful, it's heartbreaking.You're doing something so important with your music. It's connecting more people than you will probably ever know. It's helping more people than you will ever know. Mental health is so important to talk about and yet is still taboo for some reason. I love that you're so vulnerable and that you show so many people that it's more than ok to do that. Rap is my favorite genre, i listen to and love almost all music, but rap has always been my favorite. You are so talented in so many ways, and such a great artist/poet/ performer/ musician, but you are a f_ck!ng 🔥 rapper! Thank you for all the hard work that you and your crew do. I'm so happy for you that your music is reaching so many people now. 🖤
I allways cry when I'm listening to this song, it just tear my heart in shreds every time.
I picture Joe every time I hear this song and I remember the stories that Ren shared as if they were my own memories. And I’m from the US. So meaningful for so many people. Thank you❤❤❤🪽
everything u do hurts my heart with how lovely it is,,, damn your talented mate. so so so so happy i found u!!!
I love this so much!!
This is awesome
💜 💔
So powerful and real. Amazing
Wonderful.
I too have my own freckled angel... My beautiful momma ❤ I was only 6 years old when she sadly lost the fight with her demons. I never really got to know her so i imagine her to be just as you describe joe ❤️ Beautiful song ren! Sleep tight Joe Hughes 🦋
I've been listening to this album in my van on this good day. Love you Ren more than you could ever know ❤
Such a beautiful tribute . In this world where we are but grains of sand, we are drawn down into the grist, ground down by life, but then stars appear to light our way. Friends come for a reason and the most precious ones are beautiful angels who help to teach us what life is really about; and that is love!
I break my heart every time I listen to this !! ❤
My Jayne forever 40❤ My Jakob forever 23❤ Too beautiful for this world, taken 5 years apart on Australian roads
I miss you. Maybe they have internet up there. Rest in peace soulmother
