Ren Ft. Bibi - Crutch

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 พ.ค. 2016
- Pre order my upcoming album Sick Boi here ! bio.to/Ren-Sick-Boi
This was shot with no budget at the end of a frickin ' freezing October, felt like I was going to get hypothermia lying on cold slate for a few hours, serious case of mind over matter but so happy with how it turned out :) The song came about after a nervous breakdown following lots of visits to emergency room after some scary health problems. It's a song for anybody who has faced any kind of mental challenges, depression, anxiety, or health struggles while in a relationship and all the fears that come along for the ride with that. It is also a song for the courageous and wonderful people who support their other halves, family or friends during times of crisis :) In whatever context I hope my music can help take some of the weight from anyone suffering and help people feel less alone.

Maybe if I move,
maybe my troubles wont follow me
I've got none to loose
cause everything turned to dust around me
my hope it got so bruised
cause circumstance held me and it drowned me
I'm searching for the glue
To try and fix these broken things around me
My love if I loose
my mind i'd be so ashamed if you witnessed
I try my best for you
to try and keep my head but my god its slipping
an unspoken truth...i feel my body dying
as the clock keeps ticking
and everything I knew is painted with a fear that its all for nothing
Could I interrupt?
if the weight should get too heavy ill help hold this burden
ill walk with you my love
Into the fires of hell if it should ease the burning
but please don't loose your trust
the man i know is brave so don't you dare say you're folding
I can be your crutch
until we both grow old and the curtains closing
Maybe if I move
maybe my troubles wont follow me
my love I give to you
every single inch of my soul while it bleeds
baby im confused
but i know in your arms i find relief
Baby if I loose my mind
would you stay with me?
I stumbled on to live street performance in Brighton in October and bought your cd...great job
Are u single yet 😁
💞💝💞
You've got great vibes...Great Art!
A fan of yours...Hope to cross roads!
Art.
I’m 66 years old Ren , never have I wanted an artist to make it to the top more , I love your creativity and your spirit, thank you
I believe he's "an old soul" in every sense of the phrase ❤️❤️❤️❤️
As a fifties baby, I have lived through rock'n'roll, prog, glam rock, punk, modern romance, mind numbing pop and more.
Ren's ability to write and perform at such pace is awesome.
A big fan of watching the fun busking of the Big Push and the way that they have built up such a local fanbase.
Their sell out gigs in Brighton are a sign of how much they are appreciated.
Ren... thank you for 'Hi Ren' and the masive portfolio of socio-punk and deep psycho strained music.
Lovin' it.
Me too but I truly believe that doesn't matter to Ren....true artist ❤️
I agree totally as a 61 year old.🇬🇧👍
💯
this is one of the most unseen ren songs. It did not show up as recommended for a long while. But its maybe one of his absolute best. Just perfectly stunning. Like all of his songs, it leaves you in awe of the feelings it invokes.
Totally agree 💐
Another week, another me obsessing over a different Ren song. This man’s body of work is giving like no other that I have found in at least the last 10 years. You special special man, please keep blessing us with your art.
100% agreed
Yeah Where the hell did this come from?! 😮
Splash of green. Wherever it is, im so fucking happy about it. Ren is a blessing to the 🌎
you nailed it
@@themetalheadhippi seriously! He improves my day to day.. no joke. Just by listening to his music and marveling in his artistic mind!
7 years this has been up and this guy's brilliance has still not hit the mainstream, Anyone would think the industry had its own agenda. there loss
Man, I swear I fall in love with Ren a little more with every video I watch.
He's a goddamn genius.
Same
6 yrs ago? I just fell in 3 months ago. A lyrical genious, guitarist, innovator, genre breaking, musicality beyond comprehension, story teller, actor, AND MAJORITY OF HIS VIDEOS ARE LIVE WOW... Sighs... REN YOU ROCK ON ALL LEVELS
I didn't know his videos are live! That's fucking amazing that he can create such beautiful art all in one take. Everything he does is such a masterpiece, from his music, to his vocals, and especially to his videos. There's just an element he uses to tie all three together so beautifully... And am I the only one that thinks Ren is kinda hot? I can't be.
@@steffenlee3768 non, tu n'es pas le seul,😊
Ren est effectivement "très" sexy 😁😊
Yea..I fell in about 2 months ago......Can't believe I missed this guy!!!
They don't come around like this often! Off the hook!! I'm amazed at his talent!!!
Glad I got on board!!!!
11 years ago. I fell in several months ago. Gonna listen to his yt in order amd get to hunting. He is a special type of artist. The kind where the easel and the canvas are part of the art.
Today's Sunday... I heard him for the first time on Wednesday... my lip has done a lot of wobbling in 5 days.
That moment when the crutch is just gone... wow.
That's the raw realness of what we're asked to face in this life.
I can't for the life of me understand why he isn't the biggest artist on earth . Ren is a musical & lyrical genius and a gift to us all.
Singers who can't tour or do appearances don't earn enough money for the music industry money grabbers. He was signed by Sony but they let him go years ago.
It's not about the riches or being known to the world. He's feeding us mentally messed up souls, music and stories that connect with our hearts. He's reaching the ones that needs to hear his music. We are all mentally messed up in some way. I hope you find joy today
Agreed. ❤
He is, in my head at least, and I'm pretty damn sure I'm not the only one thinking that way.
He will be!
Dammit, Ren. I am never quite prepared for my first viewing of your work. Please don't stop challenging us.
“Suicide” bought me here. After 4 months of diving headfirst into the Reniverse.. 79 tracks on my Spotify playlist, love YTing busking and reaction vids, and watch his interviews.. tonight I’ve been moved in a new way.. again. In a week, it’s really bought something. Synchronicity is so real. I spent my birthday alone yesterday. I haven’t felt darkness like this week in a while. And the last few hours has shifted my focus. Or to paraphrase “Hi Ren”.. I can feel the pendulum is swinging back to the light, because of what Ren has given. The dance is easier. I don’t quite know why or how, but Ren lifts me, and speaks to me, like nothing I’ve known.
Ren, as someone with a pretty large musical variety soundtrack of life.. you cover all bases, you are a creative genius like no other, your talent in every possible area, unmatched, and I honestly believe the way you can cut through the fog and get real with people, there’s never been anything like it. And it’s not just the music/storytelling/videography I’m mad blown away by. With great talent, comes great power, comes great responsibility.. and I have every faith and confidence that you Sir are a gem for our time. Here for your moment, at a moment in the worlds history, and I really think it needs you. Thank you for what you do, what you put into it, and I know you have a team/friends around supporting and working with you, so thank you to them as well. You are all doing something quite magical. I genuinely believe we are witnessing a “never before/never again” artist making his way to infamy and I’m so gassed to be here for the ride.
All power to ya Ren 👊🏼
I forgot to breathe during that......lost for words....just beautiful.
ME ALSO took my breath away i gasp
Holy shit Ren. Everytime I jump into another one of your songs for the first time, I think I'm fully prepared for what you'll deliver straight into my very essence, and every time, I'm actually not prepared at all! This one was a gut puch in the best of ways. Absolutely beautiful Ren. Thank you for laying yourself bare and creating these masterpieces that connect us all on such a raw, human level.
Truth 😮
Amazing
I can't stop watching it - it's incredible- as an ex dancer I can see a contemporary stage performance. POV - Someone should be developing a RENaissance theatrical stage performance. I'd sit glued to that! ❤❤❤
The rabbit hole is so very deep.
Ren is a soldier I’ll respect to the end of existence. Keep dancing my brother.
A true warrior.. Nothing but respect for him!
This made me cry
F**k me this is so powerful. 6 years ago. another Ren gem I've only just seen.
He really is in his a league of his own.
I'm a 50 year old woman. I stopped listening to the radio a few years ago. Apart from an odd song that's catchy or a rare gem that crops up from time to time. I havn't really engaged in modern music. Thought I was just getting old, especially what I hear my own parents when I say 'music these days is rubbish' 😅
I don't even remember how I came across Ren. But it was only 2 weeks ago. Since then everything has changed. I've been so deep in the rabbit hole and still finding new gems every day. I'm listening to Ren and only Ren right now. There's not one track that I have found that hasn't blown me away. Not a single filler or 'meh' tune that I want to skip through. I find a new favourite everyday and then when I go back to ' Hi Ren' or chalk outlines or what you want, the hunger, love music 1 2 and 3 etc etc etc....I could list them all. I'm in awe all over again.
I only discovered this one today and I'm listening to it with tears in my eyes.
The emotion, message, passion and talent just blew me away. I've been 'numb' for so long and this... as well as the rest of his music has made me feel deep powerful emotions that I thought I couldn't feel anymore.
Music has changed for me and Ren is just the most powerful and important musician, not only in a generation but in many generations.
I can't put into words how I feel or how he has managed to make me fall in love with music again.
Beautiful words Jane,
So many new Ren fans share the same sentiments!
Similar. I'm 53 and recently separated after 20 years. I need music to keep my feet on the ground through this, but every thing else just seemed like jelly with no substance. Ren and also Chinchilla have completely dominated my playlist ever since hearing Hi Ren. It astounds me that this guys music appeals so much to all the generations. Sign of a great artist.
Love your comment❤❤❤
💯💯👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤
👌🏼
Oh damn it, I thought by now I'd seen all of the Ren songs that were going to make me cry.
One of Ren's most underrated songs for sure....should have so many more views 🥺
Ikr I was stunned!
It will reach many now.great song and maybe he should do a remix an update for todays listener. 🇬🇧👍
It soon will.
He will be seen now. He was merely an undiscovered talent by many. Now he will finally gain the recognition and admiration he deserves ♥️🙌🏼
Absolutely Amazing 🇺🇸
I am 41 years old, with Parkinson’s disease and just separated from the woman I thought would put me in the ground… this song sums up my feelings perfectly…
Another one that hits home for me is Penitence Ft Molly McKinna 💔 beautiful but sad 😢
I'm truly sorry 😞
I can relate. I am so sorry.
Sending so much love your way. 44 here with a pituitary tumor in a state of active treatment. Fortunately, not cancer. I'm just sending so much ❤ your way for comfort and the patience life is asking of you.
Patience, by Ren, is a good one, if you haven't heard it. Had it on repeat yesterday for quite a while.
My good god. That really was art. So brutally raw and personal, that it’s almost uncomfortable to watch but also beautiful. So much talent, but so much pain for a man who was just a boy when your trials started. If you ever release a book of your story, I’d snatch it off the shelves just to know how your thoughts work.
a journal is good for your soul Run and it helps keep up with your health for notes if needed later
I've been married to the most wonderful man in the world for 23 years. He suffers from anxiety, depression and a variety of physical ailments.
This song hit hard for me, Ren. Thank you for giving a voice for so many people. It's appreciated, and you are jaw droppingly talented.
Many blessings to you and yours. ❤
Nothing I can find that is remotely mediocre.
This ‘Renegade ‘thinks he is a Musical mastermind.❤ Everything is amazing.
The courage this man has to show himself so intimately on both the outside and in. Stunning.
Dude. Everything you do is a f*cking masterpiece and that's not exaggerating
Master piece is an understatement ❤️ REVOLUTIONARY!! They don't come around to often.
100% true.
Well put couldn't agree more just wow that ren wow brilliant
The truth.
He's touching people with his music on so many levels; I can't keep up, but I know I have to have more. Listening to his music is like therapy for me: triggering, reassuring, explaining, reassuring and healing. This generation more than any other needs this music.
Ren, a 62 yr old gran in the US just discovered you like most of us with Hi Ren. I’ve loved all that I have seen and wish for you health and healing during this difficult time. It looks like you are moving in the right direction now and the possibilities for you are endless. You are so much more than a guy with a guitar. You are a man with a message. ❤️🙏🏻❤️
I've discovered Ren 4 days ago... 1st i've listened to just the one song, thinking that if i listened another, he would loose his magic for me, it happens sometimes... then I clicked another, had that on repeat for a while, because I was convinced it was my new favourite song, feeling courageous now, I clicked this one.
Only heard it once so far and even if it close to midnight, I will hear it a few times more.
As a fifties baby, I have lived through rock'n'roll, prog, glam rock, punk, modern romance, mind numbing pop and more.
Ren's ability to write and perform at such pace is awesome.
A big fan of watching the fun busking of the Big Push and the way that they have built up such a local fanbase.
Their sell out gigs in Brighton are a sign of how much they are appreciated.
Ren... thank you for 'Hi Ren' and the masive portfolio of socio-punk and deep psycho strained music.
Lovin' it.
This musicvideo deserves an award. The cinematography is stunning, the music is raw and beautiful.
Thanks for creating Ren. Your art has an impact on so many lifes, it's crazy
PROTECT REN AT ALL COSTS! Genius like Ren must be preserved and shared with the world.
❤️❤️❤️
God dammit Ren! How did you get in my subconscious and articulate that which I have been unable for so many years!? Every track of yours is a therapy session for me. Im realizing more and more about myself from you- a stranger from across the world. Thank you. Thank you. Think you!
Man this is fire.. got me in my feelings.
I think my heart just broke.
All the Ren songs that i've loved diving into, clicking that watch button with glee but with this one i felt some apprehension. Now i think i understand why. I felt this in my soul. Just beautiful, everything about it.
We see you Ren. In loosing it you said "i'm the one to make the world look" (or something like that)...finally the world is seeing you and you are a gift that we didn't know we needed. Thank you doesn't come close.
Now the wait for the reactors to discover "Crutch". This should be everywhere.
Wasn't sure how to word my comment but you nailed it for me
Seriously underrated. This is a masterpiece.
Totally 👍
God this is beautiful. One of the hardest parts for me of falling apart, was watching people I loved slowly lose all respect for me.
You are a voice for all the chronic sufferers, your talent is next level brilliant. Huge respect for exposing your pain, I look forward to seeing the rest of your work!!
I think that’s it, Stephen. So many of us can empathise, so many of us hidden in the shadows. So when we hear his music, it’s almost as if he’s speaking for us all. Pure *poetry in motion*
I don't think I've ever seen an artist paint with a larger pallet of colours. Every song so different than the last, but mesmerizing in its own right. Brilliant stuff Ren.
Ok, uh... The first time that I saw this. It SERIOUSLY broke my heart.
This is one incredible depiction of pain and fear.
At the same time, it shows SO much strength and self sacrifice.
In the midst of this torturous and horrible time.
You were willing to continue to ENDURE it.
But, not for yourself.
For another.
Bibi, oh my LORD.
What a VOICE. Absolutely the voice of an angel.
Sent to earth, for the SPECIFIC purpose of support.
But, mostly to be the ONE he would endeavor to make it through this for.
When, he himself had lost ALL hope that there would EVER be an end.
Then to have you vanish.....
Leaves us to wonder if you were all just an illusion.
Or, EXACTLY what I had said.
The ANGEL sent. Just so, this tortured young man COULD endure to persevere.
I read your quote about, showing the things that you felt UGLY about and changing into something BEAUTIFUL.
THAT you did, sir.
It was one of the most excruciatingly beautiful things I have EVER seen.
To see you so Ill and weak, was bad enough.
The gutt punch, for me.
Was to see YOU cry. OH MY GOD, every single part of my being ACHED. Because, I couldn't STOP it.
I am SO thankful, you were born with what seems to be an ENDLESS well of creativity.
Along with, the mad INTELLIGENCE to be able to EXPRESS it.
If not for that combination of gifts.
You might have been lost.
THAT would have been a TRAVESTY.
One larger than I can even come close to being able to explain.
Like I said, this thing of beauty breaks my heart.
But, I sit here. Ever so willingly eager for YOU to do it again.
I think maybe, TRUE art does that.
As my soul aches for that tortured young man.
I politely say, thank you sir. May I have another, please.
thank you for the deep statement , very beautiful
Brilliantly articulated, frend
Although Hi Ren is what first inspired me and gave me hope with my rehabilitation, this song has me thinking about my partner who has been dealing with chronic pain for almost 15 years now. We both have autoimmune issues. At 62 years we are in this together but I feel for him. I feel for you Ren. Thank you for this song. Thank you for all your music. ❤❤❤
Came for Hi Ren. Staying for all of it. Dude. I'm 56 yr old new fan. You are a stand out. Keep your authenticity, and you will never really fail. Don't sign with no label. Don't compromise any of it. Stay raw and real. Without darkness we cannot truly know the Light that is in all of us.
I'm binge watching Ren's videos - again! Pretty sure I'm addicted at this point. Ren's music has permanent occupancy in my mind from the minute I wake up till I force myself to sleep. Guys! I've started rapping bars at the supermarket and im 58!! 😅 I love The Hunger, Genesis, Illest of our Time, Sick Boi......
Another beautiful one I'm loving is Penitence ft Molly McKinna ♥️
Same here ✋😅
glad im not alone ,,, its a wonderful feeling isn't it ,, its called LOVE HOPE FREEDOM RELIEF
😄 So cute ❤
Found this at just the right time. I’m having such a shit night and can feel myself slipping back down into the dark hole of depression.
How in the hell have I not heard this for how many years .???
Outfreakinstanding..
Speechless... So happy for the reactors bringing Ren to the fore:-)
How did I miss this song?!?!? Clearly shows Ren's early genius period.
Ren popped into my existence a month ago.
Where have you been.
Every time i click on a song for the first time i have to make sure I'm in the right mind space to hear it.
Listening to Ren is like standing on the edge of a cliff. You've got to make sure you are tied on to something before you put your toes over.
One of my favorite songs by Ren. I'm in my 60's and Ren always makes me tear up. If you've ever had a nervous breakdown you understand this song. Bless you, Ren.
I recently discovered you through your song “Ren” and you are the most relatable artist I’ve ever come across. This song is especially special to myself and my partner of 11 years because he got really sick from an adverse reaction to medication this summer and nearly died. Not only did he get physically ill but he also started losing his mind, hallucinations and didn’t recognize regular items and he was terrified. This song nails our experience through those months of recovery and I want to thank you for that Ren. Keep doing you.
Ren, I want to thank you for sharing this song...this part of you. I never thought I would ever come across someone who would speak to this experience so accurately...and so beautifully to the pain, let alone, to the experience at all.
A little over a decade ago I had a psychotic breakdown, and among the many pieces of my life that proceeded to disappear, I watched helplessly as my marriage disintegrated before my eyes. And not longer after, I too disintegrated much further into darkness. I did eventually come out the other side - a phoenix rising from the flames - to fight for my life, my soul, and to rediscover who I was, but it was a very long and painful journey getting there.
Years later I was able to see how necessary it all was to my journey, because I had so much healing work to do, that could not have happened with my partner. Struggling to face my past and work through it, was not something I could have done with him...and maybe not anyone else either. I'll never know. As grateful as I am for where it led me as a person and in life generally, the depth of sadness and pain...the degradation and humiliation...and the degree of self-hatred and internalized stigma, are experiences and feelings that I will never forget.
The stigma around any illness with the prefix, "schizo" is massive, and psychosis is not something people generally want to talk about. The media has always done a fabulous job of demonizing, and creating monsters of people who suffer and struggle with this experience. And sure as hell, does not help in the process of seeking help or accessing resources to aid in healing and possible recover. I was lucky...so so blessed to recover fully. But many are not.
I thank you from the bottom and breadth of my heart, for speaking to this pain that all to often, silenced or snuffed out completely. Thank you for speaking for the many who are silenced, and long to be heard.
Sending you a whole lotta love.
Hits home so heartbreaking…..
So is life.
Some people are too much for others, the fear is always real.
OH Ren. You beautiful human. This song is for my sisters. If it was not for their love I would not be here. The way you visualize your words is pure magic. I am sending you hugs for your body to mend. Much love and gratitude, from Rachael. xxx
Geez, Ren is an amazing performer. This one just yanked my heart out.
This song is like if you combined Damien Rice with Bush and turned it up to 10. So damn powerful and moving!
Holy s**t Ren! Every song of yours....it's like your singing my thoughts, my feelings. Like you, I've been through hell physically and mentally the last 20+ years. If it wasn't for music and my fiance, well...I wouldn't be here. You are totally awesome. You are unique, a bloody god damn brilliant artist, and an honest human being who isn't scared to let the world know that life can be really crap sometimes. I have said this numerous times on some of your vids, but thank you so much. Music is the one thing that understands me and to find you, the one artist that actually puts into words so eloquently what is in my head...well..thank you so so much. I feel like I'm not alone. Peace and Love from Australia
Ren - I'm 59 years old, and your music & words have touched me, and my husband. I can feel so much pain in this and just want to wrap you in a hug. I had several years of health struggles about 18 years ago, and can in some ways relate to what you were feeling. I wish nothing more for you than continued improvement health wise, and man you are musically brilliant. Wishing you tons of success. - Coreen.
I think any chronically ill in a relationship can relate. Thank you for putting into words what so many of us feel but can never say.
Also, the song has some nostalgic 90s Nine Inch Nails and TripHop vibes. Haven't heard that in a while, awesome!
This was so heart rending. Reminded me of the time I was unable to lift up my covers for days at a time over 6 years with suspected ME I know think it was a complete mental breakdown due to CPTSD from being abused from 5 till 8 and many other things after.. So amazed at how you let your walls down, let your vulnerabilities show. This is beautiful but awfully sad. I wish we could all travel in time and come and hug you and help you through.
By the way this 57 year old finally let down some of those walls thanks to you.
I started the Ren rabbit hole a few weeks ago, what a great talent. Is there anything this young man can’t do?
The Ren rabbit hole 😂 spot on
It's been ren-week.. Actually last 6 weeks were 'him' .. his songs.. reactions.. documentaries.. vlogs.. etc.. Damn! I cant listen to anything/anyone else..
Wtf ya've done to us all mate??
❤❤❤❤❤ God bless ya.. GWS!!!
He was Born!!!
I know right, what the actual ..........
I am so grateful for Ren
My fav so far
It is sad that Ren and Bibi broke up, can feel the pain they went through in this song
That piano and first verse just bring tears to your eyes..
Beautiful 😍
A 21st century roger waters ❤️
"I am lost
I went to go find myself
If I return
Before I get back
Please tell me to wait"
❤️Note on my front door. #ren
Well you made me weep. A grown 43 year old man crying like a baby. Reminding me of the only ex I ever truly loved and a night with us both in the clutches of heroin addiction...holding each other her asking why I can't love her and me pleading with her to trust that I did. She left me abruptly two years later with no explanation and it destroyed me. I hope she is off the shit and happy
Every single Ren song I listen to is incredible in its own right. So much more than music, a true work of art.
This song got Jack White in his prime vibes. It is so beautifull, heart wrenching, perfect video. It shames me i only found it now and i think its insane that it only has 314k vieuwers. It deserves millions. Thank you for showing your vulnarabilities. I know it makes a lot of people feel more ok with their own.
This is so raw. Felt every second of it. Bibi gives me Romy from The XX vibes, absolute amazing vocals…BUT the real winner here is Ren on those raw high notes…chills man, just straight chills. And the hard rock coming in for it just made my freaking year
I cried out for help. This is how I received it. Tell me how to save my son from the torturous voices screaming in his head, telling him his son is dead.
this song is beautiful and deserves more recognition then it gets compared to his more recent popular output. it's a shame there aren't more reaction videos for this one.
Totally agree with you
Bloody hell. Just found this one. Devastating. I'm stunned yet again.
This gives me chills... Then to think that you lay on cold concrete for hours to film this... and how raw the feelings are (in this song and in your life). So beautiful. You are a gift to humanity.
My thoughts exactly
Man... This song is something else
Ren you are an advocate for mental health especially for men ❤
Beautifully painful...been there too many times. So glad for my struggles. Can't taste the sweet without the sour, my friend
Speechless, the number of times I've delted what I wanted to say because I don't know how to say it. You're expressions are so good, they make me shed tears, of hope of fear I know I'm not being very clear. I am so grateful I have found you. Thank you.
Beautiful heartfelt song Ren. Hope all is going well in Canada. I'm so happy to see people discover your art. You deserve all the good things life has to offer.
What a powerful, emotional song. WOW! Your music is so brilliantly honest.
This is not just music this is his soul being shared with the world.
Every time I think I’ve found my favourite song… I listen to another one by Ren and he proves me wrong… This was amazingly powerful. So much so that it was hard to watch.
Raw. Pure. Emotional. Spectacular. A masterpiece.
This is art… every song, every video just hits different to anything currently in the mainstream.
Look after yourself Ren, Please!
I felt this! The way you depicted a breakdown on camera was just art!
Wow and still they come,this is one of the best i have ever heard
Fffffuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!! I already loved the song but just checked out the video for the first time and you nearly broke me again. Mate, you are a national treasure and we should protect you at all costs.
Concerning the "empty hands" at the end: this is an indication that the pressure of his debilitating illness split the relationship apart. But an alternate interpretation, not supported by Ren''s song description, but this is a work of Art so the receiver can respond differently to the creator's original intention, is that the hands are empty because the "crutch" was never there. The sufferer is facing this ordeal all alone. The crutch is the product of his tormented mind imagining a comforter. At the end of song his hands drop when he realises his crutch is not real.
Bloody hell Ren! I'm speechless!! I can't wait to see what incredible things are to come... You are definitely the one for history books man.
This song would be AWESOME with the today's Ren's vocal
The only song ive ever heard that compares with the pain ren sings with that tortured voice at the end is black by pearl jam and i personally think this tops the pain eddie Vedder sang in that song. Ren, you said in hi ren with the dark voice that you, in a stroke of genius, wanted to write a hit song. You've done better than that. You've written songs that everyone, regardless of age or musical likes, will love. This song was painful because ive been there myself and wrote a song called carry on years ago about my journey from depression to complete disillusionment after divorce and loss of custody for my 3 sons. But my story had a happy ending years after this song was written. I believe yours will too. Writing got me through mine, and im sure your more brilliant writing will help you through yours.
Well wishes to your successful treatment in Canada Ren
almost sounded a little prince like at the end. Reminds me of my husband and I on this wellness journey. He's my rock. Only wants to love and support me and would do anything just to see me better. He's an angel if I ever saw one. Rob Thomas's wife, Marisol, deals with Lyme's too. I love how he supports her. The song "Her diamonds" was about her struggles.
I’m sure wherever you are, sleeping or awake, good day or bad, somewhere in the corners of your mind I bet you are still trying to carry the burden of “making it” in the music industry, or having your artistry validated, or “beating” these illnesses that plague you, or receiving the accolades that you truly deserve-all of this-YOUR JOURNEY, your talent, your bravery, your humble nature, YOUR JOURNEY is why so many people are touched by you! That journey- the one that you share so transparently, IS THE SUCCESS! You have already “made it” my friend! Try to remember to ENJOY THAT each day! Because the struggle will ALWAYS be there. It will never LEAVE… it just changes shape and keeps coming at you.
Idk if you will ever see this… just hope so- I just thought you needed to hear this today.
Woah... falling deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole. This is so powerful! I can literally feel the pain and despair.
i'm 46 and married, and this music is where I am from... not a bleak hood, but a melancholic life numbing mind that I keep hidden from the wife. Depression and Anger are my welterweight titles, and I'm about out. Ren Gill is my midnight coach and the counselor hath bespoke..
Another song that is my life. Watching this video was hard I did end up watching it more than once. I've been the one that was on the ground and not being able to get up I've also had people walk away from me because I'm ill. At one point during my illness I was dying and my boyfriend at the time said he couldn't handle me being sick. he left when I need him the most. And that's why this song hurts. Because it's brutally honest. It's amazing how many people would rather walk away then be there for somebody. It's truly sad. Thank you for coming into my world. Thank you for making me feel like I'm not alone. I genuinely appreciate you and I appreciate your music a lot. 💜
This song is the real outcome of when your struggling and literally fighting for your life day in and day out from your own two hands and mind and you see all these people saying "if you ever feel this way reach out to someone" and although it's very thoughtful of it we're that easy there would not be so many of us struggling. People say they won't judge or will be there but don't realize how dark it can be and they all leave. This is every damn feeling I've experienced during a suicidal psychosis when I've reached out and nobody answered but me. Witnessing my brothers suicide and having Ehlers Danlos syndrome causes these episodes and the only thing I find to help me get out of that dark place is music. Thank you for showing me I'm truly not alone. I'm praying for you and healing. LOVE-N-LIGHT 💕
Bless you . This song and the video had my really crying. I'm sorry you've been through similar pain and hope life gets better for you like it is for Ren ❤️🩹
Ehler Danlos sucks!
Me too friend, music is the rope that holds me here. We are everywhere.
I also have EDS. I'm sure this disorder causes us to perceive life completely differently than the majority of society. I too have been in these dark places. This song is beautiful. I wish you the best and there really is light at the end of the tunnel. Don't let these dark moments suck you in too far. If anyone reading this ever has suicidal thoughts, I would always just "wait" them out. It is only one frame of mind and Life is good. Bless you
I'm blown away by the Cinematography in this!
