    I've found that many reactors suddenly decide to become truly vulnerable and share something about themselves that they haven't shared with others and I think it's spreading and connecting so many. We all needed Ren right here right now in 2023 gives me hope. Thank You

    Concerning your doubts: 1. When someone comes along and raises the bar of what’s possible in any activity, it elevates the activity to those participating by making everyone’s expectations and effort rise and they tend to elevate the whole game to new levels and aspirations. It has happened since the beginning of time. A four minute mile was once thought impossible, now every good distance runner can do it. 2. People who make those comments are putting you down in hopes of making themselves feel better about about their inability to reach that level. 3. People are comparing you to Harry Mack, in my book that’s a win! 4. If everyone compared themselves to the Top in their field and gave up we wouldn’t have Google, Apple, Facebook, LeBron James, Eminem, and just about everyone and everything else wonderful and great in the world. Competition breads excellence. 5. You are by far my 2nd favorite freestyler on the planet, and there are many that feel as I do. You have a lot of support out here. Never stop striving to be the best you can be. Haters only come at you when they feel threatened, it’s their last line of defense.

    I don't know why I find it so hard to share this information, I guess because I never wanted to make my health problems my identity, I feel like Ren the person is so much more than Ren the health victim, but if this journey I'm on can help anyone else going through the same thing, its worth swallowing my pride.
    A lot of people have been asking me for my treatment update, and ive been replying individually but then getting a lot of emails and messages which is quite overwhelming to try and respond to them all, especially during treatment, so I'd be super grateful if anyone sees comments on my videos/posts etc asking how treatments going if you could point them in the direction of this post.
    I've been treating here in canada for the past week and a half now.
    I sat down with the doctor and he explained last week that through all the extensive testing he did back in October, including lots of blood work ups, X-rays, samples etc. and MRI scans of my brain that the damage to my body from a having misdiagnosed Lyme disease and autoimmunity was quite extensive. There was significant damage to parts of my brain and many inflammatory markers in my body.
    The obvious markers of pathology were antibodies to the myelin in my brain, thyroid, adrenals, and bones and a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder which would explain my symptom picture quite well. To put it simply my immune cells have been attacking my own body. Because my immune systems been compromised by years of basically being at war by itself it has also held on to some long standing viral infections and not been able to detox things like mould/heavy metals/and toxins properly.
    Initially the plan was to be here for 3 months but because of the complexity of what's going on he's said i'll need to be here for 6 months minimum.
    It's a lot to wrap my head around having to be away from friends, family and a successful career and almost feels like a total juxtaposition to the fact that my music is blowing up right now and spreading to all corners of the world, but thats life, we take the good with the bad.
    The good news is because we now know what's wrong, we now have a road map for healing. I know its not going to be an easy path, but I know its one im determined to walk.
    I had to quit smoking cold turkey last week for obvious reasons while going through treatment which was one of my crutches for when I was stressed, so have felt the withdrawals messing with my mood a bit this week, but i've got a solid reason to quit, so I'm just bareknucling it.
    Im currently going into the clinic for IV's every Monday to Friday for an hour, firstly trying to build my body up by correcting all the nutritional deficiencies that were found due to being on a restricted diet for so long, and also implementing a lot of stress reduction techniques to get my body optimised for healing. Also found some low grade inflammation from some dental problems so will be going in for surgery to correct that in February to ensure theres nothing contributing to inflammation in my body. Once i'm in a stronger place to deal with it I'll start treating with antivirals and more aggressive treatments.
    The most positive thing, is I looked my doctor in the eye, who is used to treating countless very complex cases, and asked him, if theres a chance I can get back to being in a pain free body with the energy of a healthy person, and he said if I stick to this, there is a good chance I can either get my autoimmunity into remission and recover or at least make enough improvements to live a much more comfortable life.
    Want to thank everyone for supporting my music because thats been the best silver lining to this I could have asked for, reading through comments of support for Hi Ren and Sick Boi has really elevated my spirits, and having an exciting future to look forward too makes this process much easier, so thank you!
    Ren

      Hi REN! Listen, you know that your music has been blowing up right now, and more then that, it is deeply affecting, and profoundly connecting. You hit like a tsunami, going from word of mouth recommendation to favorite artist of all time with one dang song. You break our molds and conceptions and show us something new. I discovered you last week, only just beginning to explore your music, and I feel euphoric, like a kid inheriting a candy store. Because it is just possible that you might read this, I am going to make a request. On behalf of every long time fan, every person who has only just discovered you, and all the people who have not yet had the pleasure: please take the time you need. We’ll wait, as long as you need, you are not a passing fad, you don’t need to push yourself to keep our attention, or strike while the iron is hot. You had us at HI REN. I want to be listening to your latest song 40 years from now. Whether you produce more live videos, whether you put on a world tour, or if you take a hiatus and just show us all the stuff we missed because you need some time to heal, we are here for it. Go in any direction you choose, you will be successful. Because you are indeed a genius, and your voice has gained momentum, it cannot be stopped now. You are becoming a hero and a legend to many so take care of yourself for the sake of my favorite song of all time, the one I know you are going to write, 30 years from now. And thank you for sharing your art with us.

I wish you the very best of luck on your journey. It's odd to love the soul of someone I've never met, and surely never will, yet here we are😊❤ Get it, Ren!❤

    This was performed live, and in one take. You really need to look into his backstory. He had a rough go of it for about 10 years. Misdiagnosed with schizophenia, dropped from Sony before ever producing any music because of it, and dealing with his actual illness, that turned out to be Lyme's disease.

    Ive watched many reactions of this song, and the one thing ive noticed from all the reactors who are new to this song, is they start off joking around and light hearted, then the song plays, and you can see this song and how it opens something up inside them and the tone changes 180. It shows how wonderful this song is and how much of this is listening art, and what it means to everyone, a lil different for everyone, but the same. Great reaction

    When I first heard Ren...it was Hi Ren...I cried twice ...first time I saw it...once about halfway through and again at the end.
    I ended up crying 20 to 30 times then before I could finally watch without crying.
    Then I started watching reaction videos of Hi Ren and saw that a lot of people were emotionally moved by the message in the song.
    It wrecked me because of the BEAUTY of the performance. Just the reverb trail at the end before Ren speaks probably made me cry 10 times.

    I"m another person who has seen Hi Ren I don't know how many times now, from the original video popping up in my suggestions to watching the countless reaction videos. It still hits home on so many levels each time. Sometimes giving me the sniffles or getting me outright sobbing, depending on my emotional state at the moment. I'm so glad that It showed up in my TH-cam feed and that Ren is getting so much recognition. He calls this genre "bardcore". which I think is a fabulous name. encompassing telling his story through music and getting a bit hardcore with his guitar playing and the tonal contrast he gets.

    I’m so glad you talked about your experience w battling your mind about freestyling too! I’m a lyricist of 18 years, before falling into writers Block since 2013. (Started rhyming in’95) Recently, between this track and NF’s Hope, I’ve been inspired & Happy because I’ve only written 4 rhymes that I actually like since 2013 & 2 of them (newer for me, written in 2020 & 2021) are about Mental Health and I’ve been wanting to do an album about my physical & mental health, but have been battling myself the same way, thinking Em, MF Doom, NF & now Ren + others have already done it. Just today I came to peace with it and have started writing. Keep going! I know you’ll get back into it as long as you want to. I’m rooting for ya!

    BREAKING NEWS: You have to try PATRICE!!!
    Amazing Ren reactions and interview!!! Ren has reignited my love of music after feeling very disconnected for a long time following trauma. Thank you Ren!! I have been listening to loads of his stuff and started listening to my old albums again. If you want to discover someone CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED please look at Patrice!! 'Murderer' would be a perfect one to start with (you're gonna love it I promise). 'Stupidness is no excuse' is another banger for something on a more acoustic ragga tip. 'Everyday good' is a beautiful song followed by 'soulstorm'. That should be enough to get you hooked! I've loved his stuff for 20 years and just seen on yt that has only a small response to his videos. Honestly it's criminal how underrated AND how good he is! I'm sure Ren might know his stuff, if not PLEASE show Ren too, I think he'd love it!! ❤🙏 One Love and Be Lucky!!

    but i wonder if this is how people felt about Morrison the
    first time they heard him? someone so different. so
    special. once in a generation artist.

    Face to face with the beast
    Hi there Ren,
    I don’t know if you will ever see this, but this is an attempt to give you something back. I hope you find in this, some small measure of the comfort I experience when I hear your words as if they were from my own consciousness. Hopefully one or two lines will resonate with you in that same way. It is one of the most beautiful things in life when those connections happen. You have given so much to so many by being your authentic self. Even the parts from which you might want to run.
    I wish you peace and improved health on your journey. You are making such a positive impact on this world. Especially with a population, with which I relate, that is often overlooked and shunned because mental health is not understood.
    Thank you for showing me how to accept all parts of myself, the light with the dark, and the dark with the light. Helping me realize that while both sides are capable of creating, only one side destroys. The power you have given others should come back to you in some way. If not through this, then it will happen by other means.
    If of interest, and by way of background, this is how I found you…otherwise, skip straight to the verses.
    I found you by chance on June 2nd of 2023. I am so grateful I did. I have not been myself for a long time. Reading often helps me escape. While reading Tolkien, fixating on his poetry and how that sounds when sung, I searched for misty mountains arrangements.
    After digging through that for a while, discovering the Peter Hollins with Tim Foust version (epic arrangement and worth a listen), I stumbled across some reaction channels; namely, the Charismatic Voice, reviewing that same Misty Mountains rendition. Then, a thumbnail showed up of the Charismatic Voice reacting to a video of some guy, wearing a hospital gown, holding a guitar. I was instantly curious.
    Thus began my journey on the Ren roller coaster. I spent the next several hours, days and weeks devouring your content. Such breadth and depth had never been experienced by me in one artist. Stops included countless interviews and reactors. I loved watching people see your gifts for the first time, catching glimpses of the moments where I was first blown away being experienced by others. I especially enjoyed hearing their different views of what your words meant to them, and their learning from their own journeys.
    I spent a good deal of time with Black Pegasus, watching him excitedly bring your talent to so many. Then I watched Rosalie Reacts, followed by Sabina, Virgin Rock, LeahReuben, Beth Roars, It’s Your Girl, Just Liz!, Kso Big Dipper, Life with Recklezz, Sing with Emma today, Watch BizMatik, tretvfrmdabx, Three Shades of Whatever, Knox Hill and so many more! The journey was endless, and therapeutic.
    So why write this now? The last few days have been dark. My poetry even darker. While listening to your Freckled Angels album, your early version of Patience recorded in a living room, and a little more Hi Ren, this all just fell out of me. You know the feeling when you are in flow with the words and how they fit together? Things just work. I hope you enjoy the various Easter eggs from your catalogue and interviews.
    So without further ado, here is something I hope brings you some joy, and some comfort as you profoundly influence lives for the better.
    Face to Face
    No words have hit this hard
    Insights - a modern bard
    My own darkness within
    Threat’ning always to win
    Your journey a blessing
    To the uninitiated, distressing
    Gratitude flows out
    Overcoming doubt
    Wrestling yourself back from the ledge
    Feeling your pain for Joe
    Though your suicide never flowed
    Allowing us your presence/presents ever after
    At times I’ve lost all faith
    Your love of music, great
    At bringing me back from my ledge
    Wishing I was gone
    Tired of being a pawn
    My own warped version of escape
    Though I’ve never had a plan
    At times, my life a sham
    Your perspective helps me with my own
    Resonating with your pain
    Watching your fame
    Giving hope to those without
    Rising from the East
    Rhymes slaying the beast
    Reverberate among all who listen
    Those yearning to rise above
    So many feelings numb
    Your light finding ways to reach through
    To the floor of the ocean
    Overcome with emotion
    The fear of always being in the dark
    If light can truly settle
    To the ocean’s deep levels
    Light will find you wherever you are
    You have already risen
    To heights reserved for heaven
    As you help those who feel beyond hope
    Patience, it’s ok, it’s all right
    My tears have kissed my cheeks this night
    That’s the beauty of what you do
    Giving the numb feeling
    Even though left reeling
    Waking emotions long unstirred
    Thank you for being you
    Your authenticity true
    Helping me remember how to be me
    So cower at the man I’ve become
    Listening to you stretch your lungs
    I think I may be coming into my own
    Poetry becoming my voice
    Finally, by my own choice
    To publish a side always hidden
    Overwhelming self criticism
    Fear of depressive recidivism
    Fades behind me as I move
    Forward, never back
    Take up the line, clear the slack
    Embarking on a journey with meaning
    Though winds and waves reign
    Overcoming the pain
    To see there is beauty left in this life
    I am here for the rest
    Feeling somehow blessed
    Finding my broken self in you
    Your courage to be out there
    A risky game of dare
    Has had a profound impact on my light
    Finding my own balance
    John Frusciante with Aurora Borealis
    Is a fight not easily won
    Gaining strength from others’ journeys
    Leaves me constantly yearning
    To dance away the darkness that’s my friend
    Connections with people
    Becoming my new steeple
    Gives me hope for what’s to come
    Yolked together we are strong
    Pushing through life’s busy throng
    That would have us ignore all that is good
    Borders torn down
    No more fences found
    Peace now becomes the human condition
    How I hope this is not fiction
    Setting in place a new tradition
    Where love and kindness overcome
    The petty division
    From those lacking vision
    That want to keep us in ages dark
    Your message of unity and love
    Peace of spirit, like a dove
    Is helping to heal many wounds
    Even flipping the diss
    Not taking the piss
    Is a beautiful sight to behold
    Love will live long and prosper
    If we can but foster
    The people to see
    Keep turning the world on its head
    I now no longer dread
    The darkness I find all around
    A better life is in front
    If our divisions we punt
    Into the recesses of history
    Props for who your are
    The making of your star
    Hope shines through in all you do
    Light, I want more
    To settle on the ocean floor
    Piercing through the darkest days
    Peace, Ren
    Forward the pen
    And the light of your own true self

    Also, yes Ren is from the UK. He's simply a musician. He raps, he sings, he mixes music, he plays guitar in different bands, he's spent many years busking and trying to start different bands. He even had a "boy band" about a decade ago that didn't get much traction. He had Lyme disease that went untreated for nearly a decade and caused a lot of irreversible health issues for him, so he'll never be 100%. During that time he claims he had a voice talking to him. He does loads of covers, everything from Bob Marley to top pop songs. Several of his videos are just of him walking around the streets of his neighborhood singing and playing.

    Brooooooo, really hit me when i heard you had doubts about freestyling and thinking to stop, PLEASE NEVER STOP!!! Honestly love the sound of your voice when you freestlye and the themes you bring in and the connections your mind makes, but most importantly i just feel you have an incrediblly distinct freestyle voice. You may not be as technical as Harry Mack but your freestlyes honestly have sometimes outdone some of his when you get in your bag and you start flowinggg, can definitely tell you have had a decent amount of experience in the past. Prefer the routes your freestyle starts taking and the fun you have with it, personally its all about seeing the enjoyment of the freestyler and them having fun with it and experimenting. Like stand-up comedy, sometimes you will be absolutely amazing and sometimes you may miss the mark, but you'll never know if you dont keep experimenting and learning. Never stop your freestyle game as long as you are still having fun with it, you have loads of fans who love the content just as much

  • @Parula06
    @Parula06 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The Lucifer breakdown IMO is the toxic part of his shadow asserting its integral and eternal, plus attempting to gain ultimate dominance. And it overwhelms the light side Ren, whom we don't hear again. But the Ren coming out afterward is the new Intergrated Ren, the Ren who isn't trying to suppress his darkness but is accepting it and embracing it -- dancing with it, as well as with his lown light. And thus becoming bigger than both.

    • @_bats_
      @_bats_ ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is also reflected musically. The dark side of him is somewhat discordant at parts, and during the Lucifer breakdown it's super chromatic and ugly as shit, while the light side Ren is always on-key and pretty. But, the main theme (the intro and outro) has elements of both. It's very musical and mostly on-key but then has a few chromatic elements (both in the guitar and the vocal melodies) that, to be honest, make it so much more interesting. He's better off with that part of him folded into the whole.
