    A perfect day is a “beautiful shame” because you can’t enjoy it… waiting for something bad to happen. I don’t know how you could sum it up any better than “a beautiful shame”

    The line that hits SO HARD for me in this is, "I'm scared of being okay cuz all things change." Like I felt that in my being. Scared of good times because you know bad times are coming too. Oof. Reminds me of the pendulum of dark and light he talks about in Hi Ren.

      These lyrics. I suppose it's a Beatles reference to, "Let It Be" If, indeed it is a Beatles reference..... Flippen brilliant! It would be fitting since they're both from Britain.
      But so it goes, let it be
      In the gallows, I balanced on my toes
      So I can breathe

    If Ren should teach us all one thing, it should be this: if you always give your best even at your worst, you bring out the best in those around you. I love what this man is doing to help people, even when he needs help himself. Ren may feel his life was cursed, but he was truly blessed; and I am blessed by his testimony. ❤🔥🍻

    I so loved this reaction! Ren is my new favorite artist. Notice I said artist. I found his go fund me back when he first put it out....donated what I could. I love he's independent, doing what he can on his own. I know Sony dropped him when they realized how long his recovery would be. Stupid on their part, but yay for his fans. Being misdiagnosed for years, I feel for Ren. Like you, Jai, I'm in love ❤️

    I love : How Ren uses architectural acoustics, whether inside or out on the streets, for their inherent musical resonance, and also how he graciously defers to those he pairs up with for a song -- even when busking, he allows his bandmates or fellow vocalists to shine -- he blends himself in and lets their contributions radiate until it is his time to roar. Above all his talent and skill, he seems to be a good soul and an admirable champion in the face of so many painful foes. Thank you for calling out for his emotional support, his financial support, and for divine intervention on his behalf. #HOG#

    What I take from this song is the struggle with antidepressants and anti psycotics. As a person who has lived with a partner for 25 years who struggles with depression daily. Taking these pills basically erases her personality and makes her numb, essentially a "chalk outline" of her actual self. Years of her sitting in my lap and crying because she is so tired of feeling this way makes this song so impactful for me.

    I just found Ren an you 2 beautiful souls .. When I go thru Ren's play list.. I feel him . I agree he's is reminiscent of many great minstrels, story tellers for the world they live in. Yet our lives an as humans no matter how different nor distant we are. Suffering is a human condition an we all find Beauty in the pain. Coming together in that beauty, we all feel an see in this Brilliant man ourselves.. !
    I cried their voices are sublime. Being a live recording made it all so much more visceral. Sitting here in Baltimore, bawlin like a baby... Feeling every word.. an wishing I was smelling fried chicken cookin whilst doing all that. You two really made my day . New subscriber here!! Wishing you both lottsa luv an blessings ✌🏼💗😊

    Ren's voice is so emotional, I love that his music is so versatile, very few people can couple a great rap cadence with an equally impressive singing voice. But holy cow, Chinchilla's voice.... her soft notes and high notes at the end are probably the most heartbreaking sounds I've ever heard in a song, it literally sounds like she's crying out desperately, a cathartic release. I think the only other time I've been so emotionally drawn into someone's voice is James Blunt's in Monster. This was awesome.
