    You have no idea how much I wanted to reach out to you, give you a big hug and reassure you everything will be alright. My daughter went to school with Ren and we’ve always known about his struggles over the years. I hope these powerful messages he is sending out to the world make people realise they are not alone. Help is always there if you need it, don’t apologise for your emotional response. Seriously it’s perfectly normal and it shows us you are real and open in willing to show us your vulnerability. Take care Ashley, my thoughts, prayers and good wishes are with you from over the pond Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 UK 🇬🇧 x

    I think the biggest thing that I’ve noticed with Ren’s music and people reacting to it is that it has seemed to open up people’s emotions for everyone to see. It’s actually affecting people at their core. It’s making everyone vulnerable and it’s been beautiful to watch in what has become a cold world. Your reactions have been heartfelt and beautiful. Thank you for showing that side of yourself and hopefully it’s all helping you too 🖤🖤🖤

It's because of him I truly understand what it the phrase "It's ok to not be ok." means. The man truly saved my life. I'm glad he's able to help people this way because pills and therapy were not it for me.

    41 yr old blue collar worker. Much of Rens work is cathartic and every time I watch Im bound to tear up.
    Some of the most unexpected (to me) reactors have become my favorite Ren reactors because we can all see that his music truly speaks to you as it does us. After all, none of us want to be alone with these kinds of emotions.
    I suggest Crutch by Ren ft Bibi. but be prepared, it seems to be a very tough time in Ren's life, capturing the desperation in his spiral down his misdiagnosed path.

    This reaction made me want to hug you. And I can tell that those songs are helping you open up a little bit more and more. They are really cathartic and help us all cope with our own struggles. Ren did it for me many times now and was able to channel my bottled up feelings from the inside once again, let them all out. It was wonderful to be able to do that again and no pill and no therapist could have done that better. It is about facing your own struggles and not constantly just running away from them, because they always will get to you eventually. So facing them head on, go through it and get healthier in the process is so vital for our own evolution as a person. Long story short: Once again I am grateful that you let us be a part of your emotional world, it is not taken for granted, it never should be.

    Im not ok.... I havent been for a long time.
    I struggle on a daily basis with my inadedquasies, my doubts, my 'black dog days'.....
    And much as i knew i wasnt alone, that others struggled it didnt hit home until the last month or so since i discovered Rens art.
    Yes, theres been artists write songs about their inner struggles, but none with the power that Ren does.
    "Chalk outlines" is one amazing piece of art. From the very moment he starts singing, i well up
    Because i know that feeling of waking up, hoping against hope that i am a differant person, that for one day i can be someone other than the car wreck i am daily.
    Ive taken a wde selection of meds to keep me afloat, and other 'drugs' that arent prescribed to put that smile on my face.
    And when Chinchilla starts to sing, the floodgates open. Its such a beautiful somg about the saddest of subjects, but everytime i hear it, which has become a daily thing, after the tears have finished and ive caught my breath i feel a little better prepared to face the world.

    "I didn't realize I needed to cry." Wow, I hope you realize that is incredible insight about yourself. We tend to stuff our emotions away into a hidden place so no one can see them. Well we are here on this planet to have a human experience and FEEL everything as part of soul growth and releasing past traumas. When we stumble across A Ren song with raw human emotion we get triggered and stuff bubbles up. This is a great thing and so beneficial for our work and connection with our true self. ❤

Isn't it amazing that we have this little community here of so many different people from so many different walks of life and so many different viewpoints but we can all come together and relate to something this beautiful. Thank you for being okay showing your vulnerability. It allows others to feel the same emotions, and sometimes isn't that what we're after? A way to let these feelings out? I can never thank Ren enough for the sountrack he's given the world. I get so fucking proud of the guy. And you know what, you're creating too. So I'm also so fucking proud of you. I heard a wise man once use the expression, "kicking down doors and punching demons in the throat". And isn't that the same sentiment in Hi Ren when he stands up and says COWER at the man I've become! As I sing from the top of my lungs! That I won't retire I'll stand in your fire inspire the meek to be strong! Ugh it gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

I’m not saying I enjoy seeing people cry, that’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying it’s nice to see someone real.

    ...'Scared of being ok, 'cause all things change.."
    Those are words of wisdom from a mind that has emerged from a very, very dark and hopeless abyss.
    After nearly 50 laps around the sun, such an amazingly profound lyric is so unbelievely cathartic.
    The message contained here fits seamlessly with 'Hi Ren'
    In the gallows standing on my toes so I can breathe / the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope.
    A master class in classy reference to bridge gaps between tracks and allude to his own work in a way that paints such a raw and real picture of the path he has traveled and the obstacles he has navigated in life to get to this point.
    That pendulum is real.
    Keep fighting the fight and making positive changes until the light shines for you.

    Amazing reaction Ash just like you said music is way to express ourselves and its like a virtual hug. When Ren says "little by little bit by bit I push it back down with a new habit..." it always reminds me that I used to push everything I had going in life and in my head by creating a new habit or addiction i uses to smoke a lot of cigarettes and vapes. Then I moved on to alcohol and that's when everything got worse because it's a bad habit a bad addiction. I actually found out from my grandparents that addictions run in my family. Even when I stop all of it and I fight it off. I somehow end up drinking or smoking again. I keep pushing it down with a new habit.

    I have anxiety, bipolar, autism, and a crap load of autoimmune/other diseases that also affect my brain.
    You look beautiful, a woman showing her emotions is powerful.
    Many of us cry at Ren’s songs, and many other songs. It’s a fantastic way to release our emotions we’ve been holding on to too tight.

    Aww hon. I think most of us understand. We put up dams and defenses so we can go about living our daily lives, and sometimes it's really hard to to open a flood gate knowing it might be hard to close it again. Ren is especially good at opening those flood gates thanks to his willingness to bare it all. 🫂💜
    As a few others have suggested, their collab How to be me (live) is another beautiful yet sad song, and I do highly recommend it. But maybe first check out Chinchilla's solo track Elements (lyric video) on her channel for a fun "boss bitch" kind of vibe.

    Ren is therapeutic on some of his songs, it relates and lets you reflect and also hits in unaspeakable ways that it moves something. On other songs he brings vibe and lyrics( Power,Genesis,What u want) , and in yet even others he goes ballistic on you(Losing it, The hunger, illest of our time). A special person with a gift, passion and way to create beautiful music and connect to ppl. Also he has quite the back catalouge.

    This song is on the same level as Hi Ren. As an empathetic person that struggles(suffers) with depression, I feel his personal take on mental health, and sometimes we all need to cry. Never be ashamed of the tears you shed. We all must try to keep the darkness away as long as possible. ✌💚🇨🇦⛰

  • @rineran

    Never apologize for being who you are and what you’re going through or have dealt with. Ren is such a powerful artist, he has the courage to express himself despite everything he’s gone through. This song got to me too. As a Psych RN the message hits home for me on the flip side because I try to help people like Ren. It’s not easy when you’re fighting against a system that’s designed to make money instead of help people. We are all human beings just trying to get through the day. Ren is doing a great job of helping bring people together. We all doubt ourselves and have that voice inside our heads like he expressed in “Hi Ren” and it’s hard to get through this life just ignoring it. Be strong and remember that we all struggle and suffer but we can all get through this together.

    Thank you for keeping it real, sometimes even badass demon slayers need to cry, never feel bad for being able to show emotion that is a strength in itself and it is something the world needs so much more of. Sometimes its just the best thing to feel heard, to know that someone out there just gets you, and I think that is the ultimate power of music especially with artists like Ren and Chinchilla who seem to effortlessly pour themselves into their work. Great reacton to a great song, keep doing what you do, you make a lot of people happy, never forget it

    It shows we are in touch with our emotions. It shows we do care, especially about what matters.
    It's ok to take that medication to help us. If you cut your finger, you put a plaster on it. So think of those tablets as a bandaid for the mind.

    You remind me so much of my friends out here in the New York hardcore, metal and punk scene. A beautiful human with a heart of gold that isn't afraid to be who you are and show us your vulnerable side. I can only speak for myself when I say that's what drew me in to you and your channel and I truly respect and appreciate you for being real, open and honest. It's so easy to fake being happy and edit out your tears and keep your struggles to yourself.
    Nothing in the universe is perfect. Perfection just doesn't exist. That includes you and me and the rest of humanity. It's our imperfections who make us who we are. So you're perfectly imperfect!
    We're all trying to figure out this existence we were thrown into without our permission on a spinning ball of mud that's floating through space.
    There's been so many times my PTSD from the trauma of being an 8 year old boy and nearly being raped in fvxking Disney World of all places and the trauma of my time in the military and my wife dying that I have nearly given up. But for some reason I'm still here. I'm trying to figure out why but here I am too stubborn to end it but struggling to make it. If it wasn't for my band and all the shows we play, and my brothers who have been there with me through it all I would have most definitely eaten a bullet by now. Plus I'm Irish and a Taurus so im too stubborn to give up lol.
    So seriously thank you for being you, being real, and showing others that they're not alone and that we all struggle.
    P.S. I was on Paxil years ago and I had to get off it. Gave me serious brain zaps and made me more suicidal than I already was.
