I have yet to find any info on if he has or not. Which maybe doesn't matter. The point was to tribute and honor not get a pat on the back. Still - damn banger mashup REN. ❤
My son sent me a link to "Hi Ren" while i was in mentalhospital once again, dealing with my illness. The song gave me ..... HOPE. And now, home again, I listen to Rens music EVERY day! And I would so much like to thank him for how he have litelary saved me, and given me a voice. I love ALL of his music and really connet with it. And now The Big Push is on the radar, and I can sit and listen to everything Ren does all day - and reaction videos. I am soon 60 years old, and never even listen to music before - but "oh my days" how this young tremenduosly talented young man has change that. I am SO grateful for U Ren
That was the one sentence that stuck with me after having seen the video as an example in my art class. at one point I was like "I have to check out his music" and I'm obsessed now.
I'd pretty much lost interest in music around 2003. Then 20 years later i hear Hi Ren and dive into the Ren rabbit hole and found my love for music again. Thanks Ren
I know a schizophrenic that was very lost and couldn't find his voice amongst the others. Then his ear was piqued by Ren. Now he uses Ren's music to rediscover his voice every morning. I'm ever grateful for this.
That is beautiful on so many levels, dang, music, compassion, understanding and respect is so underestimated as tools for healing or just getting through those days that seem to be impossible to even start from the moment you open you eyes in the morning. ❤

No disrespect, but are you referring to a person with a mental illness, or are they nothing but the label? My sister suffers from the same illness, and I would NEVER refer to her as a mental illness, because she is so much more than that.
I heard a rapper on one of the reaction videos of FUQ radio say that he’s the Greatest of all times in his brilliance of Artistry and even mentioned Prince and Michael Jackson and I puffed out my chest with pride as a mother of a son REN’s age and I forwarded the video to REN cause I know he would feel proud to hear such a high opinion from his peers He really is a true Artist In the purest way. I’m constantly making people watch his videos like a proud mama he truly did restore my faith in todays generation 😊
People say things. He is very creative and talented tho. Doing a lot for an independent creative. I'm happy creative beings have a platform to express from and get their truth out there to be received.

Eddie. Maynard. ... .. .. i listen to Ren every day. I listen to Ren's work every day and i has sustained me through cancer and mental distress.

God Speed! Those of us lucky to reach middle or old age will encounter fatal medical scares. My grandfather survived so many cancers, he finally died of “I want to go” at 96. He only lived that long because he wanted to. I hope you want to live and I send all the positive vibes I can think of to support you. 😮
Yeh …. It’s sad what they have done to creative here in the states……. Spoiled brats won’t even let people create freely … at least that’s what seems to have been happening …… killing the creative industries in the process …. It’s so infuriating…. It would be one thing if they were producing masterpieces….. it they ain’t …. Or even close ….. in fact they want to use a.i. or computers to take out all the actual talent required…. The dedication to mastering an instrument….. it’s insane what is happening……
So I’m gonna be 60 in a couple of months, my music tastes are eclectic. I have never followed ANYONE with such hunger to hear every little note that you make. I get caught up in your lyrics, I sob, then smile like a bloody maniac. Man I fucking love you. Surrey, UK
It's the nostalgia hitting you. While it's all new and amazing (minus the covers), he takes us back to the time of storyteller's, folk and early rock. Let alone the fact that it's been decades since we've had an artist who didn't need all the production and auto-tune to sound great. Then throw in the fact that he's just so down to earth open, brutally honest, intelligent, approachable and you have a recipe for that rare gravity that resides in so few humans these days. That gravity has been pulling me in from day one. There was no denying it or turning away. I think weve all been lost for a while Ren. Thanks for helping us find our way. 💛🤘🤙✌️
@@rexrogers1859 I've been blessed all my life with music from seeing Bowie live and all the greats including live aid with Queen. Loads of festivals with Radio head, chilli peppers. But Ren is something else ❤️
73 yr old Gma here… I’ve been listening to this all afternoon… just can’t get enough of REN. Grew up on 60s/70s music - when it was actually music.. Ren is the only current music talent I’ve listened to for years. I watch vids of old stuff.. but any new artists (IMO) for the most part are ‘rinse and repeat’ - all the same. Ren couldn’t be more opposite from all of them; you never know what you’re gonna get with him.. it’s incredibly refreshing! Thank-you Ren… couldn’t love you more!
Ok, I totally understand where you all are coming from. But what your opinion shows is just that you have not listened to enough music. Radio is NOT a way to find talent 99.9%of the time. There's been a lot of very innovative, incredibly talented and unique bands in the last 20 years, but it's no guarantee that you personally will like them. For example, Igorrr is absolute madman and incredible songwriter - as long as you can stomach the idea of combining ANY genre with ANY other genre about 20 times per song. Or Meshuggah completely reinvented metal, which now has been aped to death. Or the incredible compositions of Tool, or the absolutely mind-blowing melodies of ISIS from their last album. My list is very metal oriented because I listen more metal than anything else. But saying that there is nothing new or great is just a sign of not looking for anything good hard enough. Totally understandable. Who wants to sift through crap for days and weeks on end to find one decent artist, and once a year finding someone great? But that is the reality. There's so much music that finding the good stuff takes real effort, and people just don't want to bother. That said, I'm glad that you all found Ren, he's definitely the best I've heard in the pop music sphere so far.
There's this artist called NF who has some extremely relatable music. He had a huge following, but isn't spoken of by the mainstream. He got me into newer music. I first heard of him back in 2018. Him and Ren give me similar feelings.
I'm crying. I'm 70. Best music since I sat on stage during Bob Marley's performance in Montego Bay 1979. I'm stunned. The video work - All of this is gold. What a discovery I made about a month ago - this man is the new world stage. "I've been really trying...." sobbing. A masterpiece.
Also, check out Ren with The Big Push if you haven't already. Just to see people play for joy. It doesn't seem like a thing anymore. They play because they want to, and it shows. You will ❤ them.
@@Kel0027 with the Big Push, I think this was the first time I ever saw Ren Was blown away…. And then he kept showing up….and my admiration went deeper every time… want to just sit and watch him up close….melt into his instrument, and his guitar.
Man... so im here now, 43, and saw this guy, Hi Ren being used on one of those first time reaction videos, i scrolled a little more and there he was again. So i gave it a listen and ive been stuck listening to each and every song as they come up and omg, this is not "just a good" song kinda guy. Hes a whole experience! He has a gift that is pretty powerful and its clear to me as a single mom with severe depression and anxiety, theres NO WAY no one can describe these things if not feeling them theirselves. God has spared him for his testimony to save others! Hes got the most beautiful mind and way with words... its a very nice change from what im used too! Best of Wishes Ren! I pray you continue to share your story and TOUCH some lives. Give THEM the will to change it!
Doesn’t matter how many times I listen to this song it still moves me to tears. The emotion is palpable.Ren you really are a once in a generation artist.
I am playing this video. Vocal part starts and suddenly my 3.5 years old stop painting, turns and says loudly "Ren !! Mom , Ren ! " 😂❤ I love that she recognizes my fav artists.
I'm 57 and have never heard a voice that contains so much despair, agony and torment. Ren, you have turned all of your anguish into deep euphonious music. Thank you from an old girl that admires what you are doing, may it continue for a very long time.
I am old. I was a Beatles and Stones baby, born in '60. I was just the right age for the explosion of good music in the late '70s and early '80s. And then came Prince, the GOAT, who saved my life over and over again from deep depression - 17 days, Erotic City, Another Lonely Christmas, and on and on and on. Since Prince, nothing has really touched me (and Ren, did you get that flash drive?). Ren, you are saving people's lives - they are lost, and they are really trying. Thank you. :)
I grew up on Prince. He was the only artist I cried when he passed. The hours I spent in the 80s pouring over every Prince Album are probably uncountable. While of course I was introduced to Prince because of his popular songs it was always his songs that were never played on radio that were his best. I love music and appreciate most forms of music but the last 20 years music has lost its soul, it’s empty and hallow. REN’s music is different, it really does take me back to a time when artists were unique and super talented musicians. THIS is music, it’s what music should be. It’s beautiful, tragic, it breaths fire, but it calms the soul… There just aren’t many musicians today who can capture that spirit.
He’s simply the best. Not many artists can wow me such as Ren has. It takes a special person, someone I truly feel connected to and that is you and your music Ren. Thank you ❤
As a woman in her 50's I can say with total honesty I have never logged in waiting for an artist to release a new offering. Total fan-gurl and just love your music, passion and energy. from Pittsburgh PA, USA with love Ren!
Same , I'm 53 and fallen in love with music, I loved it in the 80s but for the last two decades I didn't really like much until a year ago when I discovered Ren
You guys keep crushing it. You work together, and you also go solo . . . and there’s always genuine support for each other’s talents at the end of the day. I love the music, but I respect the camaraderie and how truly professional you guys are. ❤
"I've been lost for a while. But I've been really trying." Sounds so simple, but if you have suffered from chronic fatigue or other chronic illnesses involving fatigue, that sums it up pretty perfectly.
@@mikemedrano8579 My heart goes out to you. I was finally diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, but for thirty years I had no idea what was wrong. People just thought I was lazy or crazy. I have a friend with Crohns, and my dad was an alcoholic, so I know a little about the struggle you go though. I hope you keep on your path to recovery. Thank you so much for the comment.
@@buffy2658 I am lucky I don't have the fibro, but I do have the cfs. It is crazy the number of people who lose such a huge chunk of their lives and yet the doctors sometimes blow them off. I hope you navigate a road to recovery. Thanks so much for the kind comment.
57 yr old Aussie rocker hear who since the 90's had lost interest in music , thinking that even then music was just repeating what went down in the 60's & 70's . Then , to my amazement,I hear this young guy putting out true inspirational tunes that struck such a deep chord , I was blown away . Ren you have given me hope for the human race and music . Keep going brother,you have what very few have , intelligence , a great ability to put life into words and great musical ability.
Totally agree with you, he's the new gold standard for musicians in my book! He's got the "it" factor in spades, and he reminds me of no one, which is super rare! If I was forced into making a comparison, it would be Paul McCartney in his younger years when anything he touched was pure gold! The way music pours out of Ren's body is amazing, when I heard & saw him and The Big Push play Sympathy For The Devil, I was just blown away. I've never heard a band ever, beat up a Rolling Stones song, but Ren just destroyed that song, I was left speechless! I live on a lake, and have been blaring Ren for 3 years, I can't tell you how many people have stopped and asked who it was! Yet, I've yet to hear him on the radio, just goes to show how screwed up the world really is. A big thanks to Yahoo for playing his tunes, I hope he takes over the world!
But lets face it, A LOT of amazing music came out of those eras. When I look back and think about the early 90s and the "Grunge movement" - it may have been short, but MY GOD so much incredible music came out of the very late 80s and early 90s. I listen to albums like Ten by Pearl Jam or Dirt by AIC or BloodSugarSexMagic by RHCP. I don't like anything else they've ever done, but that was a great album. Start to finish. Not too many albums can you listen to start to finish and every track is great. Of course Sean Parker/napster + slow internet speeds changed the game by changing the focus from albums to singles. And after years of trying to kill off the p2p platforms, someone had the idea to change the game to streaming over ownership and it stuck to this day. So I understand why artists post Napster stopped trying so hard to make great albums and only worried about great singles. But its a shame, because great albums are such a thing of rare beauty these days. And most of them are from the 90s or earlier.
Mate I, I never comment but I really, I just wanted you to know... I've lost my father recently and I'm not very proficient at grief but, this song just, the katharsis it gave me, it helped just let the tears flow out. Thank you.
So sorry for your loss. Open yourself up to it. We can teach ourselves that which we were never taught. I was same, nature healed me. Also just self care yourself back slowly with nourishing your body. I’m an eastern practitioner. Magnesium and sea salt baths are very healing. Herbal help when sad: St. John’s wort, hawthorn (don’t take hawthorn if on 🧡 meds already, linden tincture or tea, rose tincture or tea, milky oats seed (tincture). Also try to let yourself truly feel it. It’s so freeing. On bad days try to implement some laughter with friends or even just gratitude where you see it - laughter or films or friends or comedy. It’ll help balance the grief out in the lung area which is where grief is held. If it’s really bad some days, get a lot of sunlight & juice 12 oranges (the hold the light) Other really rejuvenating herbs if it’s REALLY bad: astragalus, ginseng which will also help with energy. I wish you a lot of love and healing & found your comment touching. I feel a lot of people can’t even say that part out loud but you did.
Ren the 21st century Freddie Mercury. Yes I can say that as I was around and a massive fan of Queen. I was born in 1973 & Ren and the Big Push brought the UK back with awesome music.
We all love you, @Ren. We are all sending healing thoughts and vibes. And we will all still be here waiting when you are better. Rest up and get your ass back to feeling like the God you are. ❤❤❤
Ren not monetizing this tells you exactly who Ren is. He comes out with a song that legit is in the class of For Joe, Chalk Outlines and How To Be Me. Gets us renegades who never heard of Fred Again to want to check him out and the same for his fans who never heard of Ren. All for just his love of music and that artist in particular. There are many things that make Ren one of one but this is up there as to why.
I believe a mashup is using other songs as part of a mixed track. In this case 4 or 5 ones of Fred Again. If Fred Again would be part of this it would get another name@@DJdeliverance
One of One. Finally. That's what it is. I have tried to make lists. Socrates, Mozart, Picasso, Ren. Elvis, Dylan, Hendrix, Ren. Valid lists, I think, but your take is the reality. Here is the entire list. REN.
Most artists spend months, sometimes years in studios surrounded by experts who effectively tear up their original songs and commercialise them to the point they are no longer original. Thank you Ren for not giving in to a big label. I don’t think there is another artist on this planet as talented you. It’s no longer music. It pure art
Lost alone in a big city, still getting treatment and fortunately still producing mesmerizing music. I admire you for the resilience you have developed in all this years. You are an immortal legend.
One of my favourite things about you Ren is (as other folks have said) we never know what genre the next song will be. You don't define yourself to one genre and whether it's rap, EDM, folk, pop, rock, reggae or acapella... I'm here to listen to you and am enjoying being there to share your journey!
Ren. I've been too scared to actually say it until now but your music quite literally saved my life. I don't know what would have happened if I didn't hear your words/the message that day. I love the way your music makes me feel. Thank you. ❤
62-year-old here... SIL introduced me to the joys of both Ren and Fred again. As someone else on here said, it's been great to discover that there IS still original, exciting music being made. You just need to discover it. Thanks, Ren.
I continue to watch more and more of your stuff Ren and each and every song is just so beautifully crafted you leave me on the verge of tears with how expressive you are. You are otherworldly, so amazingly gifted. I hope you bless us with many many years of this greatness. Take care of yourself always.
Same, it's just beautiful, so raw, so honest and heartfelt..incredible. That bit from 3.58 when he sings I've been lost is just stunning, his voice is incredible it hits me everytime.
I'm 41. Been lost most of my life. This hit home hard. Brilliant. Just Brilliant. Brought me to tears. Won't lie it felt nice to cry and hear a song that makes me feel not so alone. ❤
Well said, don't know if you've listened to the original by Fred Again..if you haven't check his music out. I discovered Fred Again shortly after being a Ren fan & was so happy to see Ren paying tribute to a fellow artist & realized he is a fan of Fred Again...like this fan of his😊
The whole atmosphere, the whole vibe, the lush guitars and a heartfelt delivery with those beautiful highs at the end. Gorgeous. Instantly replayable a thousand times. If anybody is curious about the "Fred Again..." songs he "mashed up" there they are as follows: - Jungle - Delilah (pull me out of this) - leavemealone - Clara (the night is dark) - Angie (i’ve been lost)
thank you for throwing light on the mash up...wow...gives it more kudos. xx *so not tom jones, david bowie or michael jackson...just kidding...but I do love MJs 'leave me alone'.
I was told I might lose my job yesterday which for me, means losing my house, medical care, pension as I am old. This song kept me alive today. Thank you.
It's gotten really fucking difficult to not want to off my self as of recent but this man has validated my near entire existence just by sharing his bare soul with us all. If you're human. Call someone and tell them wtf they mean to you. Hug someone. Be. There. For. Someone. You never know if your conversation came as a saving grace to somebody losing their balance off that cliff.
REN! Your music is the only music I get really excited to hear even if its a cover I don't care. You in my opinion are one of the greatest musicians I've ever come across and can never wait for the next ear worm you will inevitably get stuck in my head! Keep doing what you're doing the world needs it... I need ita
As a 36 yr old guy i want to say thank you Ren! You are the only guy that makes me feel like a little boy again! For real, i can not explain how much joy i felt when i saw a premiere is coming from you. I am German and i literally tell everyone about you and your music. I can not imagine what else will come from you in future. But i think that you really could be one of the reeeaaaalllly big artists that people will talk about in decades! If you improve the way you did before.... i am beyond thrilled to follow your journey!
U saved my life. I realized i was being poisoned for 13 years. I stopped the med and awakened from the coma. Where the fvck have I been? Life & health are devastated. It's very fresh & raw. The fact that I can even write this is remarkable. I had lost my God. The brutal devastation Biggie Farm and dozens of quacks caused me is unfathomable. I'm so angry. But I know I will find healthy outlets for that. Another mind-boggling concept! But i have never been more hopeful for healing. It's a rebirth. I see you, I feel you and I thank you.💜💜💜
We are all in the presence of greatness, just take a moment to appreciate the fact we all exist at the same time as Ren, he's an absolute phenomenon, i feel blessed i get to listen to him. ❤
Another incredible performance, thank you. For a supposed hard arse 61 year old ex copper you are singlehandedly responsible for restoring my faith in young peoples ability to create amazing real music and for making me cry more times in the last year than I have in my whole previous 60 years. You're an amazing and unique talent and I sincerely hope you find the good health you so thoroughly deserve. Thank you again mate.
Out of any song ive ever heard in my 61 years, this is way way way up there with my all time faves. I cant listen to it once, have to play it back to back 2 or 3 times at least
Found REN on my rattle .. emotions are all over the shop. Think I'm going to make it through this time,I've been numb for 30 years so it's about time. Thank you for the inspiration REN #Bonafide Genius.
This man has changed my life for the better there have been thoughts and feelings that I have never been able to express until I heard his lyrics. Depression is a song that resonates with me daily
The Genius mind of Ren! Huge fan of Fred Again. The re-arrangement, vocals, your playing and emotion to make it your own. Big respect and in awe how you've done this.
aww mannn....thank you for the reply. Im on my guitar right now trying to figure it out. Big love and wishes for your health from Wales brother@@RenMakesMusic
for anyone that may read this and hopefully Ren has helped start your Fred journey. Have to check out not only Tiny Desk but Studio Live, Actual Life and Boiler Room sets. Thanks again Ren
Have you ever felt pain? Neropathy IS insidious. The problem is the difference between knowledge versus understanding. I directly relate. What really touches is "Leave me alone" & "I've been lost, but I'm really trying". Ren expresses Fred Again's work fantastically in Ren's way!
hey bro, glad you're with us, thanks for your little bedtime story, this helped me through a difficult time I was very shocked by your shorts this morning
I wanted to thank you for what you do for people. I have considered suicide more then 1000 times, but your music helps me to get through days, it makes me feel like im not alone.
I would love to see Freds reaction to this
I have yet to find any info on if he has or not. Which maybe doesn't matter. The point was to tribute and honor not get a pat on the back. Still - damn banger mashup REN. ❤

Love that you’re here in Colorado BP!

Ren is the only artist I know who can make you feel that the lyrics are coming from your own soul...every single time
Try Mike Scott and his band The Waterboys and songs like Too Close To Heaven, In My Time On Earth.
My son sent me a link to "Hi Ren" while i was in mentalhospital once again, dealing with my illness. The song gave me ..... HOPE. And now, home again, I listen to Rens music EVERY day!

@@rexrogers1859 I've been blessed all my life with music from seeing Bowie live and all the greats including live aid with Queen. Loads of festivals with Radio head, chilli peppers. But Ren is something else ❤️
73 yr old Gma here… I’ve been listening to this all afternoon… just can’t get enough of REN. Grew up on 60s/70s music - when it was actually music.. Ren is the only current music talent I’ve listened to for years. I watch vids of old stuff.. but any new artists (IMO) for the most part are ‘rinse and repeat’ - all the same. Ren couldn’t be more opposite from all of them; you never know what you’re gonna get with him.. it’s incredibly refreshing! Thank-you Ren… couldn’t love you more!
I always listen to a new Ren song with my grandma first. She loves him.
100% I’m a new grandma and I feel his music on a deep level. It’s crazy!!
Ok, I totally understand where you all are coming from. But what your opinion shows is just that you have not listened to enough music. Radio is NOT a way to find talent 99.9%of the time. There's been a lot of very innovative, incredibly talented and unique bands in the last 20 years, but it's no guarantee that you personally will like them. For example, Igorrr is absolute madman and incredible songwriter - as long as you can stomach the idea of combining ANY genre with ANY other genre about 20 times per song. Or Meshuggah completely reinvented metal, which now has been aped to death. Or the incredible compositions of Tool, or the absolutely mind-blowing melodies of ISIS from their last album.
My list is very metal oriented because I listen more metal than anything else. But saying that there is nothing new or great is just a sign of not looking for anything good hard enough.
Totally understandable. Who wants to sift through crap for days and weeks on end to find one decent artist, and once a year finding someone great? But that is the reality. There's so much music that finding the good stuff takes real effort, and people just don't want to bother.
That said, I'm glad that you all found Ren, he's definitely the best I've heard in the pop music sphere so far.
As nothing on Ben Howard
There's this artist called NF who has some extremely relatable music. He had a huge following, but isn't spoken of by the mainstream. He got me into newer music. I first heard of him back in 2018. Him and Ren give me similar feelings.
We need a button for “Fucking brilliant”.
“Like” just isn’t sufficient no matter how many times I press it
100%
Also a 1000% button 🎉
I will, however, press like it every time.
I want a button that says "Timeless Masterpiece".
They need a 🙌 button...which I think says it: Aw aye, this 🙌
Just try to press a pair number of times 😂
I'm crying. I'm 70. Best music since I sat on stage during Bob Marley's performance in Montego Bay 1979. I'm stunned. The video work - All of this is gold. What a discovery I made about a month ago - this man is the new world stage. "I've been really trying...." sobbing. A masterpiece.
Same I had given up on music Ren gave me hope againx
Also, check out Ren with The Big Push if you haven't already. Just to see people play for joy. It doesn't seem like a thing anymore. They play because they want to, and it shows. You will ❤ them.
Also I love you for crying and I love for you that you had that experience onstage with Bob Marley. Amazing.
I just now found this. th-cam.com/video/dUhzbqY7_s4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fW3Os6Q9Eg470rKw
@@Kel0027 with the Big Push, I think this was the first time I ever saw Ren Was blown away…. And then he kept showing up….and my admiration went deeper every time… want to just sit and watch him up close….melt into his instrument, and his guitar.
Can't get enough of this. Again and again. So much emotion throughout. The Angie part get's me everytime... Godspeed brother.
He leads me back from being lost every day!
Man... so im here now, 43, and saw this guy, Hi Ren being used on one of those first time reaction videos, i scrolled a little more and there he was again. So i gave it a listen and ive been stuck listening to each and every song as they come up and omg, this is not "just a good" song kinda guy. Hes a whole experience! He has a gift that is pretty powerful and its clear to me as a single mom with severe depression and anxiety, theres NO WAY no one can describe these things if not feeling them theirselves. God has spared him for his testimony to save others! Hes got the most beautiful mind and way with words... its a very nice change from what im used too! Best of Wishes Ren! I pray you continue to share your story and TOUCH some lives. Give THEM the will to change it!
I totally agree
Doesn’t matter how many times I listen to this song it still moves me to tears. The emotion is palpable.Ren you really are a once in a generation artist.
Once in a lifetime.
Imma go w/once. Ren's just "once... "
I am playing this video. Vocal part starts and suddenly my 3.5 years old stop painting, turns and says loudly "Ren !! Mom , Ren ! " 😂❤ I love that she recognizes my fav artists.
If I ever have a baby and he/she doesn't make it, it won't be my baby XD

Best Comment Ever . Thanks
I'm 57 and have never heard a voice that contains so much despair, agony and torment. Ren, you have turned all of your anguish into deep euphonious music. Thank you from an old girl that admires what you are doing, may it continue for a very long time.
Ditto
56 here. Me too. All of it. The guitar skills are fantastic, too.
58 next month im here for it all
59 here. Ditto ❤
Hello Old girl, 59 here. Lol.
I am old. I was a Beatles and Stones baby, born in '60. I was just the right age for the explosion of good music in the late '70s and early '80s. And then came Prince, the GOAT, who saved my life over and over again from deep depression - 17 days, Erotic City, Another Lonely Christmas, and on and on and on. Since Prince, nothing has really touched me (and Ren, did you get that flash drive?). Ren, you are saving people's lives - they are lost, and they are really trying. Thank you. :)
Wow! Great words.
What a compliment. 🫡
Wow on ya 2:04😮
I grew up on Prince. He was the only artist I cried when he passed. The hours I spent in the 80s pouring over every Prince Album are probably uncountable. While of course I was introduced to Prince because of his popular songs it was always his songs that were never played on radio that were his best. I love music and appreciate most forms of music but the last 20 years music has lost its soul, it’s empty and hallow. REN’s music is different, it really does take me back to a time when artists were unique and super talented musicians. THIS is music, it’s what music should be. It’s beautiful, tragic, it breaths fire, but it calms the soul… There just aren’t many musicians today who can capture that spirit.
@@crystalcaffrey9788 Exactly. I'm older, but songs like 17 Days saved me several times....
I wonder why this beauty doesn’t already have 1M views ?
Yup. -Been watching, re-watching and so also been waiting And wondering the same thing for a while...

So simple with the blue and red, so effective 💯
Damn it, my money was on Kai, respect Josh. @@RenMakesMusic
He’s simply the best. Not many artists can wow me such as Ren has. It takes a special person, someone I truly feel connected to and that is you and your music Ren. Thank you ❤
One of Ren's best, in my opinion.
As a woman in her 50's I can say with total honesty I have never logged in waiting for an artist to release a new offering. Total fan-gurl and just love your music, passion and energy. from Pittsburgh PA, USA with love Ren!
I’m right there with you sister!! Just south of you outside of DC
Same , I'm 53 and fallen in love with music, I loved it in the 80s but for the last two decades I didn't really like much until a year ago when I discovered Ren
hey don‘t forget me here ! same numbers here 😅
Except I'm in my 60's. Way west of you in Idaho.
Same here! 🙋♀❤
Your voice sounds great in this bro. Some mad guitar work too ❤️
And your latest song is beautiful!
You guys keep crushing it. You work together, and you also go solo . . . and there’s always genuine support for each other’s talents at the end of the day. I love the music, but I respect the camaraderie and how truly professional you guys are. ❤
Love you Romain! Your new releases have been beautiful!!! 💚💚💚
Both you guys are so special! I love both your work and will certainly continue to watch 2 of my favorites grow😊
How two such amazing guitarists found each other is truly a gift to the world. Sometimes, I think you need it to breathe, Romain. ❤
"I've been lost for a while. But I've been really trying." Sounds so simple, but if you have suffered from chronic fatigue or other chronic illnesses involving fatigue, that sums it up pretty perfectly.
Alcoholism and Crohns disease sufferer here. I've listened to this at least ten times already and that line makes me tear up every time.
Fibro and cfs sufferer, lost 10 yrs of my life but I keep fighting everyday thru the pain, I felt this so deeply 😢
@@mikemedrano8579 My heart goes out to you. I was finally diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, but for thirty years I had no idea what was wrong. People just thought I was lazy or crazy. I have a friend with Crohns, and my dad was an alcoholic, so I know a little about the struggle you go though. I hope you keep on your path to recovery. Thank you so much for the comment.
@@buffy2658 I am lucky I don't have the fibro, but I do have the cfs. It is crazy the number of people who lose such a huge chunk of their lives and yet the doctors sometimes blow them off. I hope you navigate a road to recovery. Thanks so much for the kind comment.
Had spinal surgery 7 days ago after years and years of being lost, addiction, pain, shame shame shame. This is me now, I’m trying trying.
57 yr old Aussie rocker hear who since the 90's had lost interest in music , thinking that even then music was just repeating what went down in the 60's & 70's . Then , to my amazement,I hear this young guy putting out true inspirational tunes that struck such a deep chord , I was blown away . Ren you have given me hope for the human race and music . Keep going brother,you have what very few have , intelligence , a great ability to put life into words and great musical ability.
Totally agree with you, he's the new gold standard for musicians in my book! He's got the "it" factor in spades, and he reminds me of no one, which is super rare! If I was forced into making a comparison, it would be Paul McCartney in his younger years when anything he touched was pure gold! The way music pours out of Ren's body is amazing, when I heard & saw him and The Big Push play Sympathy For The Devil, I was just blown away. I've never heard a band ever, beat up a Rolling Stones song, but Ren just destroyed that song, I was left speechless! I live on a lake, and have been blaring Ren for 3 years, I can't tell you how many people have stopped and asked who it was! Yet, I've yet to hear him on the radio, just goes to show how screwed up the world really is. A big thanks to Yahoo for playing his tunes, I hope he takes over the world!
LOL I'm 49 this year and 90% of what I listen to is from the 70s and 90s :)
But lets face it, A LOT of amazing music came out of those eras. When I look back and think about the early 90s and the "Grunge movement" - it may have been short, but MY GOD so much incredible music came out of the very late 80s and early 90s. I listen to albums like Ten by Pearl Jam or Dirt by AIC or BloodSugarSexMagic by RHCP. I don't like anything else they've ever done, but that was a great album. Start to finish. Not too many albums can you listen to start to finish and every track is great.
Of course Sean Parker/napster + slow internet speeds changed the game by changing the focus from albums to singles. And after years of trying to kill off the p2p platforms, someone had the idea to change the game to streaming over ownership and it stuck to this day.
So I understand why artists post Napster stopped trying so hard to make great albums and only worried about great singles. But its a shame, because great albums are such a thing of rare beauty these days. And most of them are from the 90s or earlier.
Fred Again is such a beautiful artist. Can't wait to see what Ren has to share with us. 2024-The year of Ren
Mate I, I never comment but I really, I just wanted you to know... I've lost my father recently and I'm not very proficient at grief but, this song just, the katharsis it gave me, it helped just let the tears flow out. Thank you.
I am really sorry for your loss. sending you so much love, strength & support ❤
Ahh bless you, so sorry for the loss of your Dad xxx 🙏♥️
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Heaven took her angel home
So sorry for your loss. Open yourself up to it. We can teach ourselves that which we were never taught. I was same, nature healed me. Also just self care yourself back slowly with nourishing your body. I’m an eastern practitioner. Magnesium and sea salt baths are very healing. Herbal help when sad: St. John’s wort, hawthorn (don’t take hawthorn if on 🧡 meds already, linden tincture or tea, rose tincture or tea, milky oats seed (tincture). Also try to let yourself truly feel it. It’s so freeing. On bad days try to implement some laughter with friends or even just gratitude where you see it - laughter or films or friends or comedy. It’ll help balance the grief out in the lung area which is where grief is held. If it’s really bad some days, get a lot of sunlight & juice 12 oranges (the hold the light)
Other really rejuvenating herbs if it’s REALLY bad: astragalus, ginseng which will also help with energy. I wish you a lot of love and healing & found your comment touching. I feel a lot of people can’t even say that part out loud but you did.
So sorry for your loss, hope you can find some comfort here.
Ren the 21st century Freddie Mercury. Yes I can say that as I was around and a massive fan of Queen. I was born in 1973 & Ren and the Big Push brought the UK back with awesome music.
Absolutely.
Amen
🙌
Do MC Hammer next, please. Thanks
Omg he is and I'm the biggest queen fan ever
When Ren says' i just want to make music." Get ready for something beautiful. His voice transports us to a special heart space. Thanks Ren.
I swear Ren can sing any style of music and it will always be great.
We all love you, @Ren. We are all sending healing thoughts and vibes. And we will all still be here waiting when you are better. Rest up and get your ass back to feeling like the God you are. ❤❤❤
Amen to that
Ren not monetizing this tells you exactly who Ren is. He comes out with a song that legit is in the class of For Joe, Chalk Outlines and How To Be Me. Gets us renegades who never heard of Fred Again to want to check him out and the same for his fans who never heard of Ren. All for just his love of music and that artist in particular. There are many things that make Ren one of one but this is up there as to why.
Ditto ❣️❤️🔥🥹
I'm confused where's Fred again on this track I only seen him play at the boiler room once IDK maybe I'm thinking of another guy? Lol
I believe a mashup is using other songs as part of a mixed track. In this case 4 or 5 ones of Fred Again. If Fred Again would be part of this it would get another name@@DJdeliverance
That is well said. Ren is special above and beyond.
One of One. Finally. That's what it is.
I have tried to make lists.
Socrates, Mozart, Picasso, Ren.
Elvis, Dylan, Hendrix, Ren.
Valid lists, I think, but your take is the reality.
Here is the entire list.
REN.
One kid with just a guitar and his voice blows everyone away in the industry....
Feels like he's the one real thing in a ocean of fake.
Most artists spend months, sometimes years in studios surrounded by experts who effectively tear up their original songs and commercialise them to the point they are no longer original. Thank you Ren for not giving in to a big label.
I don’t think there is another artist on this planet as talented you.
It’s no longer music. It pure art
Art 🎨, perfectly captures Ren
Yeah there is and his name is NF
Lost alone in a big city, still getting treatment and fortunately still producing mesmerizing music. I admire you for the resilience you have developed in all this years. You are an immortal legend.
One of my favourite things about you Ren is (as other folks have said) we never know what genre the next song will be. You don't define yourself to one genre and whether it's rap, EDM, folk, pop, rock, reggae or acapella... I'm here to listen to you and am enjoying being there to share your journey!
Getting stuck into one genre is VERY limiting thing.
Wow, just wow. He's the most creative, amazing, honest artist on the planet!❤️🖤❤️
I watched this several times, but the whole artistry gone into this from visuals to acoustics, moved me.
Ren. I've been too scared to actually say it until now but your music quite literally saved my life. I don't know what would have happened if I didn't hear your words/the message that day. I love the way your music makes me feel. Thank you. ❤
62-year-old here...
SIL introduced me to the joys of both Ren and Fred again. As someone else on here said, it's been great to discover that there IS still original, exciting music being made. You just need to discover it. Thanks, Ren.
I continue to watch more and more of your stuff Ren and each and every song is just so beautifully crafted you leave me on the verge of tears with how expressive you are. You are otherworldly, so amazingly gifted. I hope you bless us with many many years of this greatness. Take care of yourself always.
This is so beautiful and heartbreaking. Ren you are a gift.
All of this - Truth.
A man and his guitar. That VOICE!! It's so beautiful. Why am I crying?

Same, it's just beautiful, so raw, so honest and heartfelt..incredible. That bit from 3.58 when he sings I've been lost is just stunning, his voice is incredible it hits me everytime.
I'm 41. Been lost most of my life. This hit home hard. Brilliant. Just Brilliant. Brought me to tears. Won't lie it felt nice to cry and hear a song that makes me feel not so alone. ❤
Well said, don't know if you've listened to the original by Fred Again..if you haven't check his music out. I discovered Fred Again shortly after being a Ren fan & was so happy to see Ren paying tribute to a fellow artist & realized he is a fan of Fred Again...like this fan of his😊

If anybody is curious about the "Fred Again..." songs he "mashed up" there they are as follows:
- Jungle
- Delilah (pull me out of this)
- leavemealone
- Clara (the night is dark)
- Angie (i’ve been lost)
Yes.. I can't stop play it over and over ..and over again now.. 😬😂
Thanks for the info, love you
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice
Thanks for sharing, I wasn’t sure what I was missing. ❤
thank you for throwing light on the mash up...wow...gives it more kudos. xx *so not tom jones, david bowie or michael jackson...just kidding...but I do love MJs 'leave me alone'.
When you've given an old man reason to start listening to the lyrics again. You are intelligent and you have a wonderful voice,
Ren gives me hope for the future of music.
How can you come from releasing a rap album straight to this? What a phenomenal talent. Ren. Its been emotional AGAIN
Nice song brother!!
Man, that's heavy ,so raw,unique, and real. I only discovered your music yesterday and can't stop listening.keep it going brother 👊🙏
THIS is singing from your soul about things that actually matter in life
I was told I might lose my job yesterday which for me, means losing my house, medical care, pension as I am old. This song kept me alive today. Thank you.
don't give up! Bless you
I’ve been lost for a while -but I’m really trying… keep trying ❤
Lots of love to you friend. Keep going. Stay with us. It will be ok.

Bless you and don’t give Up love ❤
To be able to turn these 3 songs into this, amazing. Plays with nothing but feeling. Feel every note he hits
Damn. That end section. When you hear and see someone not just sing the lyrics but experience them it hits different. Beautiful.
Yeah that last part is just awesome.
Don't get me wrong, I liked everything up to then, but that final bit just moves me deeply.
Amazing. I wasn't expecting it to be so emotional. The last part, "I've been lost" hit hard. Perfect.
Yes! The last few bars just wrecked me! ❤😢🤩
@@1n20DnD He's such a master at making music resonate.
The original hit pretty hard when I heard it got the first time. But oh man, this one hit me like a Mack truck
The most unique fucking musician of our time. You're the GOAT and the world needs to hear the words you weave into each of your songs across genres.
It's gotten really fucking difficult to not want to off my self as of recent but this man has validated my near entire existence just by sharing his bare soul with us all.
If you're human. Call someone and tell them wtf they mean to you. Hug someone.
Be. There. For. Someone.
You never know if your conversation came as a saving grace to somebody losing their balance off that cliff.
Hope things are going better for you 🙏💖
REN! Your music is the only music I get really excited to hear even if its a cover I don't care. You in my opinion are one of the greatest musicians I've ever come across and can never wait for the next ear worm you will inevitably get stuck in my head! Keep doing what you're doing the world needs it... I need ita
As a 36 yr old guy i want to say thank you Ren! You are the only guy that makes me feel like a little boy again! For real, i can not explain how much joy i felt when i saw a premiere is coming from you. I am German and i literally tell everyone about you and your music. I can not imagine what else will come from you in future. But i think that you really could be one of the reeeaaaalllly big artists that people will talk about in decades! If you improve the way you did before.... i am beyond thrilled to follow your journey!

The reverb or whatever that is in the end, where his voice seems to just hang out in space. Glad I’m in that space.
U saved my life. I realized i was being poisoned for 13 years. I stopped the med and awakened from the coma. Where the fvck have I been? Life & health are devastated. It's very fresh & raw. The fact that I can even write this is remarkable. I had lost my God. The brutal devastation Biggie Farm and dozens of quacks caused me is unfathomable. I'm so angry. But I know I will find healthy outlets for that. Another mind-boggling concept! But i have never been more hopeful for healing. It's a rebirth. I see you, I feel you and I thank you.💜💜💜
We are all in the presence of greatness, just take a moment to appreciate the fact we all exist at the same time as Ren, he's an absolute phenomenon, i feel blessed i get to listen to him. ❤
Yes - This! :)
Another incredible performance, thank you. For a supposed hard arse 61 year old ex copper you are singlehandedly responsible for restoring my faith in young peoples ability to create amazing real music and for making me cry more times in the last year than I have in my whole previous 60 years. You're an amazing and unique talent and I sincerely hope you find the good health you so thoroughly deserve. Thank you again mate.
I would cry if fred performed live and the track just stopped for you to appear with your guitar 🫠😍💚
Arguably one his best. I don’t think Ben know how many time I have listened to this. That pure raw emotion at the end.
Out of any song ive ever heard in my 61 years, this is way way way up there with my all time faves. I cant listen to it once, have to play it back to back 2 or 3 times at least
same. In all my 49 years. :)

Thank you for the inspiration REN #Bonafide Genius.
Clarity is returning by the day...1 month in the bank...Fuck yeah!
This man has changed my life for the better there have been thoughts and feelings that I have never been able to express until I heard his lyrics. Depression is a song that resonates with me daily
Two months later still can't get enough of this performance.
3 months later, still sticking it on repeat! :)
No matter if he's singing, rapping or playing a instrument - all is pure art and a genius way to connect with the world ❤
Pure is the best word for Ren. It’s the closest word I can think of to convey his talent
The Genius mind of Ren! Huge fan of Fred Again. The re-arrangement, vocals, your playing and emotion to make it your own. Big respect and in awe how you've done this.

Hello from Erie, CO. How awesome would it be to see Ren perform at red rocks?
Getting any of REN’s music is like Christmas all over again
Have you ever felt pain? Neropathy IS insidious. The problem is the difference between knowledge versus understanding. I directly relate. What really touches is "Leave me alone" & "I've been lost, but I'm really trying". Ren expresses Fred Again's work fantastically in Ren's way!
hey bro, glad you're with us, thanks for your little bedtime story, this helped me through a difficult time I was very shocked by your shorts this morning

There aren't many artists that I can sit and binge listen to... Ren, though. He speaks to my soul. So much respect for him, his talent, his message ❤

Goes straight to my soul. Every word, every guitar note, every strum.
