(Also I feel like I should say this. There are some of you who will have been following my story for a few years, and will know that my health was absolutely destroyed, leaving me disabled for years. It was only after a stem cell transplant that I started on the road to regaining my health. Before people ask me why I'm smoking after going through so much, I thought I’d just explain...
I’ve had to live like an absolute saint for so many years, missing out on the years where people are normally experimenting with every substance under the sun, watching what I eat, how much energy I use, putting everything under the microscope… I decided to have a week where I said fuck it, and did what I wanted. And you know what, It felt fuuucking great. I’ve since quit again (so you don’t have to worry mum and dad!) and gone back to seriously looking after my body and taking it easy, but it felt nice, and actually strangely quite cathartic to do something so obviously bad for me for a while. Don’t smoke or do drugs kiddies! Your body is a temple )

"I learned so many lessons from depression but in essence Im just wishin that these bad thoughts were gone." That resonated loudly.
We’ll get there my friend… it’s just learning time for now ❤️🩹 There’s a reason for it all; and we’re better for it… that’s what I’m tellin myself… ALL THE TIME!! A good cry, breaking of something (don’t get hurt though!!!), scream that scares the depth of me, and/or pounding of the piano keys (from the roadside u found it, and my driveway… where she always sits pretty for me!!! They said I couldn’t do it.. all I did to get her home!!! Just me and a gf… it’s one of our favorite moments… we share with others who want to hear a crazy story…. Okay sidetrack sally here… I gotta go out and uncover my jets and play something sassy 💁♀️)
Lol 😂 😅 😂 I totally forgot why I started writing thus response… blahahahaha… Happy Sunday Bro… should be a good one 🤞🏼🤙🏼🤞🏼
AlohaAloha, Simbel
@@gabrielcollazo3931 happy Sunday! I find that splitting wood (literally with an axe - I use a maul these days) is a good way to get it out. Side benefit is it's an amazing workout. Would love to see video of your piano... If you post one, let me know. Happy Sunday to you too!
Dude smoking a cig an hitting that high note is the craziest shit
IKR😮❤❤❤
I’ve been coming back to this every once in a while for about 3 years and it never fails to impress me holy shit
Literally what I've come back to do just now. Music is a magical thing
Same
same 🤣
Absolutely! This performance is so raw and encapsulates everything about life getting tough, for me its great to revisit regularly.
Agreed
a moment of silence for the people who couldn’t find this song.
Haha yess 😂
Fr😂😂💔
😭🤚🏼literally
Thank you
Haha love this
I love the older people in the crowd, especially that one man in the black coat. There is something so wholesome to me when something can be shared by people of different generations.
when he said "headphones only work on the left side" that hit differently
Trust me.
Tbh it kinda only hit on the left side
Can you tell me why ?
Funny my ears only work on the left side 😂
Emotional AF.
Why they gotta do us like that.
imagine actually being there and being able to witness this magic
🤟
@joe i've seen them live, the vibe's amazing they're in the brighton lanes saturdays if you're interested
So god damn jealous
I've got a brand new tune out would mean alot to me if you checked it out and if you like it give it a share ❤️ th-cam.com/video/s_nc1IVoMxc/w-d-xo.html
Its not that hard , just go to Brighton,
[Verse 1]
This Lighter don’t work, no
No flame to spark my goal
My nike’es laced in dirt, oh
I feel like i’m treading on my own soul
My headphones only working on the left side
But I try to live the right life
My eyes wide, and I strive
To stop my demons gripping, gripping from the inside
This road is dark and I can’t find the batteries for my flash light
I’m blind eyed and I’m tried
[verses 2]
These drugs don’t work
The pain it takes control
A blood stained shirt
I feel like I’m always being chased by the devil
I tried to talk but I can’t seem to get my spoken words right
And I t..t..t..t..t..t..try to keep my stutter light
And this life it can be ish right Cut you like a flick knife
Twist and make you sick right
An I think, (maybe I’ll be better off alone)
So I redirect the calls from my phone
I learnt so many lessons from depression
But in essence I’m just wishing the these bad thoughts were gone
[Verse 3] Sometimes I get these times when it’s like time is against me
In my mind I kind of mind yeah that my mind can torture me
But I rhyme ‘cause when I rhyme it’s like my rhymes they set me free
And I shine so bright, I shine those times these rhymes come out of me
Sometimes I bleed, sometimes I crawl, sometimes I slip, sometimes I fall
Sometimes times my back is up against the wall so hard that whole building could fall
Sometimes I bruise sometimes I break
Sometimes I’m true,sometimes I’m fake
Sometimes I’m hoping for a moment when the floor would just start opening and swallow me for goodness sake
I think I’m gonna break cause I ache and it’s bait I’m awake in a world full of pain superman no cape
And I’m pressing the breaks but the breaks they break and I’m driving my universe into a lake
And the weight, the weight of the world don’t wait
We make mistakes when it’s all at stake
We cook out cake we eat our cake
Sometimes no time for double takes but (That’s just the way life goes sometimes)
But I don’t want to end up in the gutter being battered by my troubles face down in puddle where the sun don’t shine So I’m coming and giving it back, upon the track and attacking ‘em
Stacking up beats like I did with this one I pack it in
And I’m praying, oh lord take this pain away
Don't forget "Ooweeooweeoo oo ooweeooweeoo. Ooweeooweeoo, ahh ahh."
too strong you're on deezer
Ren I’m obsessed, any chance you’re willing to share chords? Big love for you guys X
I've spent the last 2 days trying to figure out the chords as well lol
David James check out my instagram i made a story on my main feed going through em
I know Ren is big now but I hope I can still view a live busking session one day
Real man, surely if I go to the UK some day I can find Ren busking somewhere.
No one can rap and play the guitar at the same time
Ren: hold my talent

@@RenMakesMusicHaha I t’s funny (and great) to see you plugging Hi Ren on all these comments 😅And how it just blew up big time. Deservedly so! This busking video just highlights your humble beginnings. Keep up the good work and may your healing continue to provide us with this auditory gold 💛
I have listened this one over 100times
Nah, i rate this so much more than the actual song. Please release a studio version of this
The live version of blind eyed will be out January 18th this year on all streaming services including spotify/apple music/amazon etc.
Ren looking forward to it!!!
@@RenMakesMusic it's not the same as those one though
meanwhile "god" takes another shit on the rest of the population
The kids dancing in the back like nothing matters, that's how in tryna be
They were on LSD.
They’re grown crackheads
They made the video. I dont care what they where on, they didn't give a F@$ck so loving it.
Hows the journey going ;)
they aint kids lol. just crackheads
Ren looks like a Peaky Blinders
you two are so talented!
Et puis Fanny Thomas all the way
Yeah he is
Thomas Shelby fr
peaky fucking blinders
Sam looks like freddy Thorne bruh
3 weeks and still my favorite song it is fighting for the record.
When you're so far into Ren's rabbithole 🐇 that you're starting to recognize Sam's voice before you even see him, but you still only just now tripped over this video......
These guys gonna be big.. thumbs up
If they reply to me on facebook they will.
Jim Bun let’s hope so
No they wont

Nope

Me
Here I am again for the 100th time!!! Hairs still standing up on back of neck lol xx
I've only discovered Ren today, and wow, I'm beyond impressed. I've been craving a new sound, and this is exactly the type of thing I've been looking for. Stellar work dude, your music is incredible, thought provoking, and above all else unique. You've got your own identity, and now the masses are starting to see it, the world is in awe at your talent. Keep up the grind brother. Work hard and you'll get all the recognition you deserve. Best of luck with the recover man, much love from Liverpool bruv, if you ever rock out over here, I'd love to be there my man.
Total chill sound , , unbelievable, wish all free gigs where like these two , mega respect from Liverpool 👈🤘👌👍
Back after a couple of years still hits hard
Spread this masterpiece!!!! My favorite song at the moment.
These 2 are always such absolute MAGIC together. Such TALENTED young Men!! Thanks Ren and Sam!! For the true beauty to you contribute to society and the world at large!! Lights in an ever darkening world!! THANK YOU!!
I appreciate the people who got no sense of rhythm, yet they're the ones freely embracing this amazing performance. ❤
Absolutely incredible!!! The purest form of natural talent I’ve ever come across.
Some thankful that anything between you two exist. This is beautiful. Shoutout KG for putting me on Ren. Shout out Instagram for putting me on Sam Tompkins. Love y’all 💛💛💛
Geez, it's like I've been wanting and waiting, for years and years for this. Something fresh, something that's honest, meaningful, original and beautiful. The stripped back approach is perfect. Ironically the raw live imperfection is also much needed, an antidote to so much over-produced run of the mill crap around now. You're bringing heart and soul back into music. May the new. new wave continue.
This is like the 15th time I am listening to this in the last few hours and it just gets better and better.
I want to go to Brighton now, NOW! Preferable yesterday and all The future days.
4:20 - 4:40 gives me literal chills every time I listen to it, that vocal control is out of this world what the fuck...
He's mad! I've got a brand new tune out would mean alot to me if you checked it out and if you like it give it a share ❤️ th-cam.com/video/s_nc1IVoMxc/w-d-xo.html
@@RenMakesMusic Did it the second it came out :) Hope you're doing well bud!
totally agreed! You two play and bounce off each other well. You two are so special. Keep it up boys!
@Ren I don't think you will ever have to work your comment sections again to let us know you have a new song out. Now all you have to do is post "Hey guys, I'm about to drop a-- oh. That was fast. You lot made it here before I did."
Cant believe i am only just finding this musical superstar .i must of been living under a rock
i love how this song resonates to all different ages and walks of life. all are transfixed / immersed. It just took everyone's soul over (for a moment in time), including mine whenever i listen to it
i always come back to this song whos with me?
Please release this on Spotify the live version is my favourite ❤
i just want to say what a big part of this video i was, and how i developed the narrative. i did a great job of standing there for my 2 seconds of fame on my birthday. well deserved!!!! yay me
Sammybo 🥀
A perfect contribution on a great birthday! I've got a brand new tune out would mean alot to me if you checked it out and if you like it give it a share ❤️ th-cam.com/video/s_nc1IVoMxc/w-d-xo.html
wow This is gold, what a vocal! g8 energy
Glad u enjoyed man! I've got a brand new tune out would mean alot to me if you checked it out and if you like it give it a share ❤️ th-cam.com/video/s_nc1IVoMxc/w-d-xo.html
Goosebumps. These 2 are phenomenal!
6 years later and all I remembered was Ren and Sam. So many feelings.
this song is beautiful
Use are insane together, make an album and use will kill it. Honestly this is fireeeee, come to Australia
Boy i would buy out there entire aussie tour
We should fucking crowd fund a tour for them.
They would do so well over here
Triple j would eat them up!
The line 'maybe I'll be better off alone' is something I ask myself many times currently. Always coming back to this song, really helps when I'm down. Thank you for impacting my life in such a positive way!
Glad you liked it! I've got a brand new tune out would mean alot to me if you checked it out and if you like it give it a share ❤️ th-cam.com/video/s_nc1IVoMxc/w-d-xo.html
Some of the most underrated singers i've ever heard.
It’s so rare to find people feeling so hard the music, incredible duo!
legend
I’ve just listened to the released version of Blind Eyed and am not going to lie? But the live version is a whole lot better? but that just me,This is the version you have to put out
Callum Lewis i feel the same
always the case though, doesn't matter the artist, something so magical about live music in the street!
Capturing the raw talent of a song in the studio and making it have that same soulfulness can fail the best muscians..keep it raw. Keep.it stripped down and don't over produce it..over producing kills the soul of a track. 👍
bang on the money there mate
Live music will always sound different to the official version, you can’t change official released music whereas you can always put a twist into playing it live.
I personally think they both sound amazing🤷🏼♀️
Sooo happy I found this again!!
Legendary the intersection of your voices, simply every duet is an individual fucking masterpiece! Respect and so much love for The awesome songs 🖤💯💃🏻
See a massive improvement from these older days to videos from say 5 to 10 month ago hes really come on! Great duet we the burd both are excellent together
I lie never, my gosh thats some bloody good guitar playing.
Hes actually doing advanced everything, yet comes across so smooth and seemless.
Blessed
How talented and gorgeous , ren you’re smashing that guitar ❤️
The people around there don’t really knoW how lucky they are
Low key just sat here and rewatched this over and over again.... for the second time this week xD love this so much
So happy u liked it! I've got a brand new tune out would mean alot to me if you checked it out and if you like it give it a share ❤️ th-cam.com/video/s_nc1IVoMxc/w-d-xo.html
going on my third week since I first heard Ren, I haven't listened to anybody else!
Another amazing song! You sing with such wisdom it's like none other
Still blows me away every time I listen to this!! Lyrically, vocals and how tight these two are as a duo!! So glad I met Sam and told him he’s go far then see he’s been signed! Would of said say to Ren but not had the privilege of meeting him yet!!!
Swear down ive listened to this at least 3 times a day, you boys are mad
This is without doubt the best version of this song with the angry car park attendant a close second only due to the broken string. IMO the spotify version is over produced. Keep this street style going Ren as it separates you from the rest! Keep it coming!
Couldn’t agree more. This is the best version imo
Glad you liked it! I've got a brand new tune out would mean alot to me if you checked it out and if you like it give it a share ❤️ th-cam.com/video/s_nc1IVoMxc/w-d-xo.html
Coming back for my monthly listen
I just love listening to them. Wish i was there. Ren and everyone he sings with is so good. He's strong alone and so complimentary with others.
glad i found Ren and Sam
The street version looks and sounds so raw and authentic. Studio version's too perfect. Definitely worth seeing you perform live. Keep it up boys!
Thanks man I prefer playing this live too!I've got a brand new tune out would mean alot to me if you checked it out and if you like it give it a share ❤️ th-cam.com/video/s_nc1IVoMxc/w-d-xo.html
So incredibly talented. Both of them. The sound hit me as some of the freshest most unique material I've heard in a long time.
Masterful control of rhyme schemes, such crisp and colorful accompaniment, and real rock star presence from the duo.
They're naturals.
Really glad you enjoyed man! I've got a brand new tune out would mean alot to me if you checked it out and if you like it give it a share ❤️ th-cam.com/video/s_nc1IVoMxc/w-d-xo.html
I am Japanese. I love this song and to find this is very happy.I hope too much people will know this really good song.最高日本に来て。
So glad you liked it! I've got a brand new tune out would mean alot to me if you checked it out and if you like it give it a share ❤️ th-cam.com/video/s_nc1IVoMxc/w-d-xo.html
I was accidentally passing by, that day and was amazed!!! Talk about talent combined with hard work!!!
I wish i lived in a place where i'd be walking down the street one day and there is Ren on the corner performing.
honestly i got bare goosebumps
its A you are gay
@@jamesbartholomewthethirdjr8863 im not u tho
Glad u enjoyed!! I've got a brand new tune out would mean alot to me if you checked it out and if you like it give it a share ❤️ th-cam.com/video/s_nc1IVoMxc/w-d-xo.html
The line 'maybe I'll be better off alone' hits me hard and I think about that every single day. Maybe it is better to just be alone. Like that, there isnt anyone who can hurt you. But then...
Feeling you....
28 straight years of busking the US. Just about as confused as when I started. Thanks for your work, it helps....
Smilesotheylikeyou
There's a line towards the beginning of Ren's part that's something like, "I'm just wishing these pill bottles were guns"...I had the strongest emotional reaction to that, man, bawled my damn eyes out.
Thank you...I've never had words for this feeling before....thank you
Fire! Unreal Talent. So glad i came across your music.
One of the sickest musical moments that have ever happened, for real, I'm freakin mindblown. You guys are absolutely incredible 🔥
Better than 99.9% of everything in music. This is exceptional.
Thankyou bro! I've got a brand new tune out would mean alot to me if you checked it out and if you like it give it a share ❤️ th-cam.com/video/s_nc1IVoMxc/w-d-xo.html

This is how I came across you ren!-so glad I did/got to give Sam a shout to
I can't imagine coming across this genius walking down the street! I study behaviors for a living and I'd give anything for 20 minutes with Ren!
Freaking amazing guys, especially in the music industry today.
