I am 58 and have always loved music and love to keep up with what is going on in the world of music. Listening to non-mainstream genres has always been my thing and when I hear people say there is no good music out there these days well, yer not digging deep enough THERE IS!!! Ren is a complex myriad of pain and happiness, depression and euphoria shooting from the belt. Love this man...don't stop please.
My 59th birthday today and started to introduce myself to Ren yesterday. Unbelievably talented. I have even subscribed to TH-cam to listen and get notifications. Absolutely beautiful and brilliant 🧡
Agree, I am using Ren's performances in my poetry class at the American University where I work in China. Chinese students have to memorise 80 Classical Chinese poems while at High School, without any discussion about what they mean or the emotions contained within them - just memory and recitation. What I want to do is show them how powerful poetry can be in their lives - I want to bring them the joy of the words. Showing them how the words of a Chinese poet written 1000 years ago (Su Shi, Li Bai etc) can still resonate with them, but I also want to show them that poetry is everywhere, if they love Taylor Swift (which many do in China - Luv her or hate her) they love poetry, and that's why I am putting Ren at the top of my lessons to show how poetry has a resonance in the 21st century, next to a Shakespearian sonnet, Eminem, Chinese rappers too, and any one who puts words together with love and passion. That's poetry. Peace.
I am a therapist/mental health doc and your lyrics are so relatable, understandable, and quite honestly what many of my conversations sound like in the therapy room. Deep, insightful. I can see you are a deep thinker Ren.
@@gabeparks8173 nah, it's cool. It's a legit exploit, and I see no reason to nerf it. It's not like it breaks anything. You know healers are always getting the shit buffs anyway. Frankly, it's all the min-maxing just to attempt climbing the ladder, leading to every player needing to lean so hard on their healers anyway.

What a tune! Stepped it up again.... a massive lover of a) music b) specifically your music! But I've never been to a concert, set one up in Newcastle upon tyne and im there! (I pray) On another note, I found your other channel and I've watched those videos too! I hope this world blesses you with the Health you need and deserve! May you be the next something to be something!
I am completely obsessed with this guy’s talent… in a matter of a single song I accidentally played a few hours ago when my phone tumbled into my lap. Perhaps it wasn’t an accident; it was a synchronicity of the highest order.
@@budders1258 I once did a study on Synchronicity and one the 1st questionnaire SO many people only knew the word in relation the The Police album. This was in 2004, and I was connecting it to something else, but found the Police album to be rather Synchronized with where I was then when I gave the whole a good listening.
Of course you know why. Because old generations are all about money and pretense, not about art. And so they've created shows that pretend to appreciate art but really they only appreciate luxury.
I am a 70 year old nana and I think your work is extraordinary. I also think that you are gifted and talented in the way you see the world and make art out of it. Keep doing what you are doing. You are making a difference.
@@leethal999 People at this age only thinks bout the biblical references, they do not even think about the real meaning behind all these references that Ren is delivering out Majestically. I literally, i can stand no more. Like if it's normal to a 70 or 80 years old one to hear this, and understand this... understand lyrics, concept of metric and punch line, poetry... Every single video i see, there it is, a comment like this one! Start thinking that is just someone like 24 years old telling everyone that he is 80 years old to have hype and likes. Man, it is starting to piss me off, literaly you have these only very HYPED UP songs and u have these guys out there, saying they'r 80 years old and they are enjoying it. Don't make no sense bruv. Like, is not bad that one old guy listen to this, and really think about it, is not impossible, but what bothers me is that from yesterday to like really TODAY a bunch of ancient ones have been starting to listen to these guys. Like Ren, like Livingston who droped a masterpiece single like a week ago. Don't make no sense man, i've been here on YT for like 13 years and it was never like this. I'm not mad bout the ancient ones, i'm mad about the comments. Really, FUC7 00FF!
Seriously one of the most talented artists this century and up there with the best. True poet, lyricist, writer, musician, actor, and artist. Keep it up mate; you will go down in music / art folklore!
This man needs more recognition! He's a lyrical genius and an amazing musician. How is the world sleeping on him. I'm from New Zealand so it reached the other side of the world. But he deserves to uplifted and shown off
@@RenMakesMusic you inspire me dude. I deal with chronic pain and shit. I know what it's like to fight for every day. Your music has been a safe place for my brain
NZ 🙌 me too! Ren is making waves over here! What a masterclass he is, a unbelievable talent that deserves to be heard around the world. His art speaks volumes and will surely help so many who have gone through or are going through similar struggles.
I don't think I have ever listened to an artist as much as i have since i have found Ren. The more i learn about him, the more these songs speak to me. Lyrical genius. Using his voice as an instrument like no one before.
@@elyootafaridzadeh1164 every time I listen to this song, I get something different from it. And I can't decide if I like this one better or the acoustic one.
Dude. I'm 26 year old, I've been fighting my ADHD and chronic depression my whole life, and I'm struggling with drug addiction right now, and it's not often I feel like it hits home when people try to say that they understand, but this? It hit me like a brick. It's like you've been digging out my thoughts and made art out of it. It also makes me so sorry to know that you are, or have been, somewhere dark enough for this to be created. I hope you're fighting, and god I REALLY fucking hope you don't stop making music, you're definitely going places. Your talent with words and flow is crazy, seriously. Thank you for sharing your art with us. ❤️
I'm 53 now but was your age when I became addicted,I've been clean now for three years Christmas eve,I found the only way I could quit and stay clean was too forgive myself,it doesn't make you a bad person to be an addict,that's society, keep beating yourself up just perpetuates the addiction, don't let it take 20years before you realize you are worth a life free of waking up rattling worrying,about how your gonna get though the day,if you've slept at all,believe me it is easier,keep fighting,all the best.
@@futilelamp4188 thank you so much for your lovely comment. I'll actually try to remember that. I find that some days are easier than others when it comes to forgiving and being kind towards myself, but I've yet to make it stick. Shame and self-hatred is the default. I know I'll never have kids if I don't get sober, and that's all I want, so I have to change. It's just tiring.
My wife, who's Welsh, turned me on to Ren. Now I'm totally addicted. Such a great combination of music , lyrics, vibe. Some of the greatest new music ever. Keep it coming!
Pretty much discovering Ren now, and this is my favorite new piece by him. What I find fascinating about Ren (apart from his multi talents) is the fact that even though he's handsome and charismatic, he does'nt rely on that at all. His work, his passion and his laser focus is what he brings to his music. He shows us a lot of himself, but doesnt sell the superficial. I find that bloody refreshing.
My fam loves him. We are crazy about his music ❤ enjoy. Losing it and fat boy slim song ❤❤❤❤❤ hi Ren ❤ all of it ❤ pure talent ❤ can’t get enough ❤ support algo to get his music out there ❤ comment ❤ thumb ❤ views ❤
Ren is SUCH a freaking breath of fresh air. I hate the hand of cards he was dealt with ally heart, but he's made some legendary art out of that hand. What a legend 🧡
I'm a combat ptsd veteran who also contacted systemic and discord lupus from being around the burn pits on my deployments and I swear this kid says everything I think and feel but I'm too scared to say... Thank you, Ren. From the bottom of my heart. You make life a little more bearable.
I quite possibly have sys lupus and shit it is utterly brutal ... i also have similar to narcolepsy which is debiltaiting in itself .... have ptsd from horrendous treatment... i feel you so much on how we simply get by day to day... but once we can turn that pain into our own power however that may be... we too can and do live again.. a little different than we planned .. but we get one chance at this life. We need to keep going and know we all have a purpose.
I didn't find any comments with the lyrics of the song so I just did it myself: When I'm by myself I find my mind starts drifting somewhere else It's not inside this dimension It's definitely somewhere else I wrestle with my thoughts Constant wrestle with my mental health I'm put on life support I've been put up on the highest shelf, ah My whole life I've been fighting This cake it don't have icing These mantras I'm reciting They're meant to keep me sane I don't know if they're working Cerebral cortex hurting Maybe it's all learning Maybe it's 'cause life is a lottery What an anomaly Sometimes it's riches and sometimes it's poverty Sometimes your nerves have been fried by neuropathy Begging the surgeon to have a lobotomy Honestly, I'ma speak honestly Honestly, life is ironically fucking me chronically I have been ill in myself and it bothers me License for killing myself, call me Connery, ah I'ma be straight with you now I'ma go straight for the heart Pupils dilate in the dark People die late in the dark Noah was late for the arc, hmm Noah was late for the arc Genesis, rain and it rain when it starts Genesis, pain in the art Genesis, aim for the heart Genesis Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Genesis Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne When I'm by myself I find my mind starts drifting somewhere else It's not inside this realm of thought It's definitely somewhere else Wage war upon my demons I've been knocking on the gates of hell A heretic, a heathen, I've been screaming in this padded cell It's pain making, my pain waking It's painstakingly cold My soul aching, my bones breaking When holding on to control Wrap yellow tape 'round the body shape Put the body in the bag, zip, close It's malignant, it's mutating It's such a sight to behold Uh-huh, mm-hmm Let me be real for a second, mm-hmm Tongue is a gun, is a weapon, hmm Reload, bla-bla, dead 'em, mm-hmm Beast mode, armageddon, geddon Let me take the wheel for a second Hit a hoop like Shaquille O'Neal with aggression Regroup with a three-point steal in succession Swish, whoop, and I'm making 'em feel the profession Making 'em feel the profession, making 'em feel the profession Time is the order, the lesson Time is a murderous weapon Time is a curse and a blessing Time is confined in the eye of my mind That reminds me that life is just slipping right by Take my piece of the pie and then feed and unwind I find freedom in rhymes to define my depression I'ma be straight with you now I'ma go straight for the heart Pupils dilate in the dark People die late in the dark Noah was late for the arc, hmm Noah was late for the arc Genesis, rain and it rain when it starts Genesis, pain in the art Genesis, aim for the heart Genesis Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Genesis Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne
I'm almost 70 & have been involved with the Music scene in Texas for 50 + years.. I've seen many talented musicians come & go, but have NEVER been more moved by an artist & the shear Talent of Ren. Favorite band of all time is Led Zeppelin ( real innovators ) & Ren has taken a Place Right At The Top of my list along with them. I Pray for you Ren that you recover from your illness , God had a plan for you enduring it, & you are fulfilling your True Destiny.
So many Led Zepp fans in the comments, myself included. I'd love to see Ren cover Since I've been Loving You, any Plant song really and I don't usually want to see anyone touch Plant's vocals but I think Ren would bring his own spin and he'd sound great. Love from Brighton!
@@patisan Since I've Been Loving You... is my FAV of All Time... especially the LIVE version which is so different than the Studio. > seeing Ren doing that would be Amazing!
@@lindseyfry4976 agreed! The live version is amazing. I was watching it again on TH-cam just last week. Ren would sound incredible singing it, I just know it. Reckon Romain (from The Big Push) could take on the double neck guitar and channel Jimmy Page. One can dream!
CO, US here... I just stumbled across one of your songs and I've been going down a Ren binge for the last 2 hours. I never do this. Your music has captured me, bro! Keep it up!
im 16 and i’ve suffered with mental health for 6 years now. I feel like it’s only getting worse. But your music and the words make me feel like i’m not alone
The o ly way out is threw ..theres no one like you ...only one it's TRUE..ride the growing pains like a wave...dont let your Hope cave ...get up move forward dont stay still and old😉be you ignite your art 💞🔥💞
Alone? We're most of the population girl. 💪😁May I recommend Dolores Canon's videos about wtf life really is. 🤗 It will give you something to chew on. Life is hard for a reason, we chose difficulty level HARD, before we got here. Start looking the root of the problem(through art, a therapist and DMT in a while, no need to rush it), and start fixing it, while fixing it, you'll find your self and your purpose in this game, don't be a quitter, that shit's easy. 😏
I don't know anything about your condition and it's none of my business. That being said, it may be worth giving some sort of Meditation a try. I used to mentally struggle a lot, but that stuff literally changed my life for the way better. Nowadays loads of people seem to be helpless and caught up in their own mind. Meditation is a legit way to uncover your true self and out of suffering.
Ren's accountant: " So how much do you need to fund the next music video?" Ren: "IDK like, six quid?" Accountant: "What?" Ren: "I'm hungry and my friend owns an IPhone."
Ren is literally the only musician that I would want to meet in person, its never been something that has interested me with others but the impact he has had on my life and so many others is phenomenal. Honestly I don't know if I'd have made it through this last year without your music. Much love Ren
From a girl who used to live and work in bars in Brighton.. it's a beautiful place that makes some beautiful people.. you are one of them. Big love, Ren, i and many others love your music and are hoping you're ok and get better soon. We appreciate you 🙏 ❤️ 😊 xxx
Ren is amazing. wish I would’ve found him sooner. What an amazing musician and songwriter, and the dudes charisma is off the charts. And to do a lot of this stuff live in one take? That’s unreal. He has it all and does it very well
Another reminder of this masterpiece...not that i suspect you need reminding. I'm sure its sublime geniuses is forever etched on your mind never to be ever forgotten. In the absence of the ability to personally express a truth long comes Ren to touch the truth within and validate it ...with deep reverence and humble thanks to Ren.
Hi Ren. I absolutely love your music. Perhaps I might be your oldest fan. Your lyrics and delivery are amazing. Your insights (smfh) are deeply moving. You relate to people in a way that is unique and intelligent. As a songwriter I admire you. As a human who has experienced life for a bit, I respect you. I wish you peace, harmony and wellness. Much love to you Ren. ❤
As someone here with chronic illness that makes being a conscious body a living hell, Ren's talent and willingness to share it with us is a freaking gift!! Best medicine for this "way of life". (You inspire me to dive into my own "art" again for survival. Many thanks Ren!!) Your talent and strength is beyond words! Thank you for never giving up ✨💜
@@RenMakesMusic bro I’m 54 n love you’re vibe bro .hope that dnt p,,,,u off but I know good music when I hear it , The the ,soul mining , please listen to it ,Matt Johnson genuis from the my time music .cheers for the feelings you give me ,
I feel you honestly 💜 im sorry you have a chronic condition 💖 I hope you can live when you can, when you get a bit of reprieve or just in general have a slightly better day than the day before 💜 i can empathise to a point as I've got a chronic condition myself, i say to a point because i dont know which condition you have it may be totally different to mine but their all awful, having no real control over your life is just so tough! I have had crohns disease since I was about 10 years old, first surgery for it was at 13, had 10 more surgeries since then so im pretty sure im just a walking machine at this point lol, sorry dark humour there but you have to laugh sometimes or you just cry all the time from frustration 😅 I've spent way too much time in hospitals or laid up isolated from the world 🌎 it totally messes up your mental health aswell, like my doctors have only now started to realise how much of a mental torture the whole things been so far and I'm 30 now! Took me having a psychotic break for them to even listen to me or understand at all what that does to not just your body but your mind! Nhs at its best... But listening to Rens music I find so therapeutic because I can relate to so much of what he says,and also to see him overcome his condition and do his thing musically even though it must be tiring and difficult is really inspirational 💙 it makes me feel like I can do things instead of automatically just going no I can't I have this wrong with me, I loved his music before I learnt of his condition, but after learning about that it just made so much sense as to why I related so much and made me love his artistry even more! I just want to see him live the best life he possibly can, and you aswell, anyone with chronic illnesses I just hope and wish they can do some of the things they want in life, take care 💖
Ren, i showed this song in rehab/mental health instition and i feel this song so so hard. At 1:00 - thats how i walked alot around when manic-ish. Even wrote the whole song on paper and stuck it to my closet in rehab. So many songs over the years have helped me cope through the worst times. THANK YOU❤
Like a lot of people, I fell down the Ren rabbit hole (after Hi Ren was posted in a discord I frequent about a week ago). Of course I was immediately blown away by your talent and moved by your story. But as a poet myself, with a love for wordplay, I’m completely knocked on my ass, legitimately speechless. “Pupils dilate in the dark/People die late, in the dark” is brilliant, and that’s just one of many! So add a 55 year old woman in Nashville TN to your ever growing fan base.
When has an artist had such an effect on such a large demographic ? Like seriously. I have seen so many comments from people of different ages and back grounds who say Ren has made such a difference to their outlook . Strait laced grans in their fifties admitting they are learning to appreciate Rap . What the heck . I have seen Rap artists admit - Ren is fire . Anyway I am 67 so I am the club with you.
Ren has started a Genesis in music,and we are here the first ones on the arc,set off on this journey,he is going places.And even if we all got drowned in the flod,it was already worth the ride.thank you Ren🙏
You always put out so greatly directed videoclips, even in one take. Looks like this is also going to be stuck in my head for a while. Thank you for being a musician, mate ❤
Hi Ren! You have a brand new 64y/o fan here who grew up with The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Boston, etc.. For me, very little of today’s music compares (have to look outside the mainstream usually to find rare gems). I just discovered you tonight through a reaction channel, showcasing your spectacular, ground-breaking, AMAZING Hi Ren. Now I’ve seen your brilliant version of Bittersweet Symphony and this heartbreakingly gorgeous song with your (fabulous) duet partner, showing more of your melodic songwriting skills and vocal ability. You are truly special! You are touching people - those who share their own struggles and those who just love great music! I’ve read of your ongoing medical struggles in Canada and wish you miraculously great results! Now I’m diving down the rabbit hole of your music/channel and will imminently be downloading your music on Spotify. I just had to take a moment to thank you for your artistry and your vulnerable humanity! Be well! ❤️✌🏻✌🏻❤️
@@TryingToBeKind You welcome...Ren is a hidden gem...he is so talented he can bottle it and sell it !! My playlist changed overnight ...I now have an official Ren playlist.Glad you enjoyed the song! Have a wonderful day full of blessings!
I started listening REN by accident, now I am obsessed. I started painting at the same time, cause my mind is constantly thinking, there is constant flow of thoughts. And right now my only way how to stop the thoughts and relax, is to play RENs music a paint. It's ultimate relax for my mind and I thank him for that. It's not surprise that my paintings closely knit to his music. Some of them are colorful and full of life. Some of them are dark. Like my thoughts. I am grateful to him for that. That finally me and lot of other people are understood. ( not english speaking person here). Please never stop REN 🙏
Hey I found ren in exactly the same way at the start of the year. Life’s hard but paint and ren just seem to go hand in hand. This bloke should be famous
It’s Sunday morning, 10:30a. Discovered REN in Hi Ren last Wednesday at 11:30p and haven’t been able to stop listening, watching, and experiencing his musical genius. One of the greatest artists ever. Period. Please keep it coming…
I'm 55 have had depression since November 1997 sometimes the battle feels never ending and unwinnable and then on the odd occasion I hear music that reminds me I'm not alone in this battle that has no winners or losers just survivers. Thank you Ren for giving me hope!
This is art of the highest caliber. He didn’t lie, he did in fact aim straight for the heart. His music is tippy top tier. I love everything that you’re doing for us Ren. This world needed your messages, I can say that I do.
Just started. I'm just realizing he raps too , only thought he wrote songs ! He's dam good but I will definitely burn this into the ground and circle back a month later and repeat lol gotta love ADHD! 😅
Mate im absolutely blown away.... are you even human ... i think god is using you for something bigger here than just so called music.... ❤ im deffs glad to have been given the chance to hear youre brilliance.. i dont think a word even exists for what this truely is. Dude you are something truely special and unique. Thankyou for simply being you. 😊 when pain is turned into power... wow.
Im 37 and on Saturday i was found basically dead in bed was resusitaten and luckily for me they got me bk.. i was listening to Rens music before but now for some reason his words give me real goosebumps.. this week has been scary uncertain and definitely the hardest ive ever had BUT this mans music definitely has been getting me through it!
How he hasn’t completely blew tf up is beyond me his music is magical an can we talk about that voice?!🥵its like angels singing an the beats that are changing continuously like he can obviously do it all now if only everyone can jump on this bandwagon and show him the love his music deserves !
OMG REN! I have JUST found you! I'm 60 and want to say...I'M PROUD OF YOU for realizing you have a PURPOSE! I know it TOUCHES me! 🤷♀️🤗 I'm spreading this🔥🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶as much as I can! STAY STRONG and KEEP FIGHTING! 💪💪✌️❤️🥰🇺🇸 Can't WAIT for the NEW DROP!😁😎
Ren mate you speak to my life and heart you are insanely talented and intelligent and insightful beyond your years. You rock I wish you all the happiness in the world
I'm so mad that it's taken me this long to discover you! I've never felt a connection with an artist so quickly. I've gone down a ren rabbit hole the last week and I've not had a single skip. So talented!
Better than nearly everything out there.. save for Ren's own catalog :) Watching this the day after the Grammy's... This blows away anything I saw last night... and those were some excellent tracks created. Ren is in a separate category the Grammy's have yet to understand.
I just discovered Ren a week ago and I REFUSE to binge on his songs. I don't want them to stop. So I force myself to wait a day or two before I watch the next one even though TH-cam keeps ramming them into my feed. And I think I've watched Hi Ren like 12 times. I NEVER do that. Just wow.
Mate, I gotta tell you, I'm almost 43, I have written and played music since I was 15 years old, and since I've found your channel on TH-cam, even if your music is way different than mine, you're a daily source of inspiration to me. Cheers and keep up the great vibes
Since coming across “Hi Ren” I’ve been diving into your whole catalog of music. I love the creativeness while telling your story. If really feels authentic which is something the music industry as a whole has been missing. Not to mention the emotion that you expel through the entire song. Keep up the great work bro and hope things are getting better for you medically! 🙏
Ren I,m 68 yrs. Old ,Man u FUCKING BLOW ME AWAY. I DIDN,T HEAR YOUR MUSIC UNTILL A WEEK AGO ,U AND UR PEOPLE AMAZE ME !
Cap
I'm with you, Im 70 - older and now much wiser...
I'm 51 and just found him. Never heard anything like this. Awesome
I am 58 and have always loved music and love to keep up with what is going on in the world of music. Listening to non-mainstream genres has always been my thing and when I hear people say there is no good music out there these days well, yer not digging deep enough THERE IS!!! Ren is a complex myriad of pain and happiness, depression and euphoria shooting from the belt. Love this man...don't stop please.
57 mate two two 👍
54 hear I agree good sir!👍🙏😇😁
47 and it was great to introduce my Son to this artist
My 59th birthday today and started to introduce myself to Ren yesterday. Unbelievably talented. I have even subscribed to TH-cam to listen and get notifications. Absolutely beautiful and brilliant 🧡
I'm 60 and came across Ren via a Reactor I listen to.
This is something different and from the heart, like this young man a lot.
Ren is not an ordinary singer. He is a true poet, the Shakespeare of our times.
Agree, I am using Ren's performances in my poetry class at the American University where I work in China. Chinese students have to memorise 80 Classical Chinese poems while at High School, without any discussion about what they mean or the emotions contained within them - just memory and recitation. What I want to do is show them how powerful poetry can be in their lives - I want to bring them the joy of the words. Showing them how the words of a Chinese poet written 1000 years ago (Su Shi, Li Bai etc) can still resonate with them, but I also want to show them that poetry is everywhere, if they love Taylor Swift (which many do in China - Luv her or hate her) they love poetry, and that's why I am putting Ren at the top of my lessons to show how poetry has a resonance in the 21st century, next to a Shakespearian sonnet, Eminem, Chinese rappers too, and any one who puts words together with love and passion. That's poetry. Peace.
I like his ability to tell a story.
Bardcore 😂
😂@@geraintevans6360
I am a therapist/mental health doc and your lyrics are so relatable, understandable, and quite honestly what many of my conversations sound like in the therapy room. Deep, insightful. I can see you are a deep thinker Ren.
Thank you for you!
So what you are saying is that you rap with your patients?
@@picotacos Rap Therapy is OP
The simulation devs really need to nerf the Music/Therapy skill synergy
@@gabeparks8173 nah, it's cool. It's a legit exploit, and I see no reason to nerf it. It's not like it breaks anything. You know healers are always getting the shit buffs anyway. Frankly, it's all the min-maxing just to attempt climbing the ladder, leading to every player needing to lean so hard on their healers anyway.

Lyrics here for anyone who wants them!
When I’m by myself I find my mind starts drifting somewhere else,
It’s not inside this dimension, it's definitely somewhere else,
I wrestle with my thoughts,
constant wrestle with my mental health,
I’m put on life-support
I’ve been put upon the highest shelf
My whole life I’ve been fighting
This cake it don’t have icing
These mantras I’m reciting
They’re meant to keep me sane
I don’t know if they’re working
Cerebral cortex hurting
Maybe it’s all learning?
Maybe it’s cause…
Life is a lottery,
What an anomaly
Sometimes its riches

Sometimes your nerves have been fried by neuropathy
begging the surgeon to have a lobotomy,

When I’m by myself i find my mind starts drifting some where else,
its not inside this realm of though its definitely somewhere else,
Wage war upon my deamons i’ve been knocking on the gates of hell
A heretic, a heathen i’ve been screaming in this padded cell
its pain making, my pain waking, its painstakingly cold
My soul aching my bones breaking when holding onto control
Wrap yellow tape round the body shape - put the body in the bag zip close
It’s malignant, its mutating, it’s such a sight to behold
Ah ha, mh hm

tongue is a gun its a weapon, hm

regroup with a three point steal in succession
Sswish swoop and I’m making them feel the profession
Making them feel the profession
Making them feel the profession
Time is the author, the lesson
Time is a murderous weapon
Time is a curse and a blessing
Time is confined in the eye of my mind
That reminds me that life is just slipping right by,
Take my piece of the pie
And then feed and unwind
I find freedom in rhymes
To defy my depression

What a tune! Stepped it up again.... a massive lover of a) music b) specifically your music! But I've never been to a concert, set one up in Newcastle upon tyne and im there! (I pray)
On another note, I found your other channel and I've watched those videos too! I hope this world blesses you with the Health you need and deserve! May you be the next something to be something!

@@kradonkragon2151 damn how could i miss out the most poignant lyrics i've ever written!
Stumbled upon "Hi Ren" on TH-cam and now I can't stop listening to this guy!
You and me both. 😊
I’m the same
Me too ❤
SAME
Yup I'm on the same journey!
I am completely obsessed with this guy’s talent… in a matter of a single song I accidentally played a few hours ago when my phone tumbled into my lap. Perhaps it wasn’t an accident; it was a synchronicity of the highest order.
Yes, it was meant to be. Do we remember the Album Synchronicity? lol. Ren will take you down a Rabbit hole of talent that can not be described.
Same!
There are no accidents ❤
@@budders1258 I once did a study on Synchronicity and one the 1st questionnaire SO many people only knew the word in relation the The Police album. This was in 2004, and I was connecting it to something else, but found the Police album to be rather Synchronized with where I was then when I gave the whole a good listening.
We are lucky to have singers like Ren in this new generation!❤️
means a lot!
@@RenMakesMusic I found you from Luigi so I thank Luigi
👍 ohh Yes!💪
Nice name gene ✌️
@@genewiltshire1170 😂my name’s actually Geneva (Gene’s the short for it)
I honestly don’t know why this geezer isn’t a worldwide star he’s soo talented…genius artist well done again ren
He does have 1.2m subs now. He definitely deserves more buzz, though. I've started showing his work to my kids and my friends.
no cap
Of course you know why. Because old generations are all about money and pretense, not about art. And so they've created shows that pretend to appreciate art but really they only appreciate luxury.
He’s just so good I don’t know how to describe it
Well, he's got himself at least one fan in Poland lately ;d
I am a 70 year old nana and I think your work is extraordinary. I also think that you are gifted and talented in the way you see the world and make art out of it. Keep doing what you are doing. You are making a difference.
Get a grip you fucking wierdo.
Love it!
Why does it matter your age
I Love his work; I'm 72; retired RMN.
@@leethal999 People at this age only thinks bout the biblical references, they do not even think about the real meaning behind all these references that Ren is delivering out Majestically. I literally, i can stand no more. Like if it's normal to a 70 or 80 years old one to hear this, and understand this... understand lyrics, concept of metric and punch line, poetry... Every single video i see, there it is, a comment like this one! Start thinking that is just someone like 24 years old telling everyone that he is 80 years old to have hype and likes. Man, it is starting to piss me off, literaly you have these only very HYPED UP songs and u have these guys out there, saying they'r 80 years old and they are enjoying it. Don't make no sense bruv. Like, is not bad that one old guy listen to this, and really think about it, is not impossible, but what bothers me is that from yesterday to like really TODAY a bunch of ancient ones have been starting to listen to these guys. Like Ren, like Livingston who droped a masterpiece single like a week ago. Don't make no sense man, i've been here on YT for like 13 years and it was never like this. I'm not mad bout the ancient ones, i'm mad about the comments. Really, FUC7 00FF!
Seriously one of the most talented artists this century and up there with the best. True poet, lyricist, writer, musician, actor, and artist. Keep it up mate; you will go down in music / art folklore!
He's the Baird of our time. The Shakespeare of today is all I need not even say. Lyrical savant of the modern day.
Hardcore Bardcore ❤
I think the angels held this guy back to release him now . Rite now . Cos now is the time we all need to look inside. This guys work is awesome
This man needs more recognition! He's a lyrical genius and an amazing musician. How is the world sleeping on him. I'm from New Zealand so it reached the other side of the world. But he deserves to uplifted and shown off
Thanku xx
@@RenMakesMusic you inspire me dude. I deal with chronic pain and shit. I know what it's like to fight for every day. Your music has been a safe place for my brain
Also here from new Zealand I'm glad I made this discovery and hi ren is just a master peice as well
NZ 🙌 me too! Ren is making waves over here! What a masterclass he is, a unbelievable talent that deserves to be heard around the world. His art speaks volumes and will surely help so many who have gone through or are going through similar struggles.
Here in kiwiland too.
Ren is amazing 👏.
RESPECT 🙏
I don't think I have ever listened to an artist as much as i have since i have found Ren. The more i learn about him, the more these songs speak to me. Lyrical genius. Using his voice as an instrument like no one before.
its mad how complex one song is
@@elyootafaridzadeh1164 every time I listen to this song, I get something different from it. And I can't decide if I like this one better or the acoustic one.
I so agree.
Same!!!!
Yeah me too
He literally speaks the words I cannot find myself
Dude. I'm 26 year old, I've been fighting my ADHD and chronic depression my whole life, and I'm struggling with drug addiction right now, and it's not often I feel like it hits home when people try to say that they understand, but this? It hit me like a brick. It's like you've been digging out my thoughts and made art out of it. It also makes me so sorry to know that you are, or have been, somewhere dark enough for this to be created. I hope you're fighting, and god I REALLY fucking hope you don't stop making music, you're definitely going places. Your talent with words and flow is crazy, seriously. Thank you for sharing your art with us. ❤️
Ashwagandha look into it calming
Crazy same here bro same age and all 🤙 keep safe bro
I'm 53 now but was your age when I became addicted,I've been clean now for three years Christmas eve,I found the only way I could quit and stay clean was too forgive myself,it doesn't make you a bad person to be an addict,that's society, keep beating yourself up just perpetuates the addiction, don't let it take 20years before you realize you are worth a life free of waking up rattling worrying,about how your gonna get though the day,if you've slept at all,believe me it is easier,keep fighting,all the best.
@@futilelamp4188 thank you so much for your lovely comment. I'll actually try to remember that. I find that some days are easier than others when it comes to forgiving and being kind towards myself, but I've yet to make it stick. Shame and self-hatred is the default. I know I'll never have kids if I don't get sober, and that's all I want, so I have to change. It's just tiring.

@nickytesla1596 that was 1 of my favorite parts. Skipped out of the other pattern
My wife, who's Welsh, turned me on to Ren. Now I'm totally addicted. Such a great combination of music , lyrics, vibe. Some of the greatest new music ever. Keep it coming!
Let's be honest, we all already knew it was going to be a work of art 🖤
It always is ♥️
Exactly
Word i found him a couple months ago I love his Accent I'm just the way he flows and tells his story
FACTS
Yep, not even shocked anymore just impressed.
Oh god don't you love it when you discover a new artists that you know you will listen to exclusively for next months nonstop?
True
Yes....can't wait till wine o clock tonite
You said it!
Not sure. Might be years straight 🤔
I've been on the dimash train for the last 4 years now. But I discovered Ren just last week, my new music obsession for who knows how long...
Pretty much discovering Ren now, and this is my favorite new piece by him. What I find fascinating about Ren (apart from his multi talents) is the fact that even though he's handsome and charismatic, he does'nt rely on that at all. His work, his passion and his laser focus is what he brings to his music. He shows us a lot of himself, but doesnt sell the superficial. I find that bloody refreshing.
My fam loves him. We are crazy about his music ❤ enjoy. Losing it and fat boy slim song ❤❤❤❤❤ hi Ren ❤ all of it ❤ pure talent ❤ can’t get enough ❤ support algo to get his music out there ❤ comment ❤ thumb ❤ views ❤
Agree 💯
He's so physically beautiful but that's never the focus.
Refreshing indeed lol
Legend has it the chips were still at the table till this day, left untouched, still hot and fresh for some reason
Ren is SUCH a freaking breath of fresh air. I hate the hand of cards he was dealt with ally heart, but he's made some legendary art out of that hand. What a legend 🧡
God works in mysterious ways
I'm a combat ptsd veteran who also contacted systemic and discord lupus from being around the burn pits on my deployments and I swear this kid says everything I think and feel but I'm too scared to say...
Thank you, Ren. From the bottom of my heart. You make life a little more bearable.
Thank You for your service
I quite possibly have sys lupus and shit it is utterly brutal ... i also have similar to narcolepsy which is debiltaiting in itself .... have ptsd from horrendous treatment... i feel you so much on how we simply get by day to day... but once we can turn that pain into our own power however that may be... we too can and do live again.. a little different than we planned .. but we get one chance at this life. We need to keep going and know we all have a purpose.
@@BrandiWiatrek Same C-PTSd.
Yes he does change us in so many good ways. Take care. Be kind to yourself ❤

I didn't find any comments with the lyrics of the song so I just did it myself:
When I'm by myself
I find my mind starts drifting somewhere else
It's not inside this dimension
It's definitely somewhere else
I wrestle with my thoughts
Constant wrestle with my mental health
I'm put on life support

They're meant to keep me sane

Maybe it's 'cause life is a lottery

Thank you!!!
I'm almost 70 & have been involved with the Music scene in Texas for 50 + years.. I've seen many talented musicians come & go, but have NEVER been more moved by an artist & the shear Talent of Ren. Favorite band of all time is Led Zeppelin ( real innovators ) & Ren has taken a Place Right At The Top of my list along with them. I Pray for you Ren that you recover from your illness , God had a plan for you enduring it, & you are fulfilling your True Destiny.
So many Led Zepp fans in the comments, myself included. I'd love to see Ren cover Since I've been Loving You, any Plant song really and I don't usually want to see anyone touch Plant's vocals but I think Ren would bring his own spin and he'd sound great. Love from Brighton!
@@patisan Since I've Been Loving You... is my FAV of All Time... especially the LIVE version which is so different than the Studio. > seeing Ren doing that would be Amazing!
@@lindseyfry4976 agreed! The live version is amazing. I was watching it again on TH-cam just last week. Ren would sound incredible singing it, I just know it. Reckon Romain (from The Big Push) could take on the double neck guitar and channel Jimmy Page. One can dream!
Ren is seriously the most talented musician that I know, I hope one day he gets the mass recognition he deserves!
thank u means a lot honestly
Agreed!! I am so surprised he hasn’t made it big. His song power has picked me up a lot lately. ❤
This dude deserves more than a million subs, I'll be waiting for that day
Facts !
It destroys most people that the problem and I don’t wish that on nobody
Ren’s amazing, but these single shot videos are extraordinary.
Right?!? One shot. It's insane.
theatre , really fucking brilliant theatre.
Movie called rope by Alfred Hitchcock. Shot in one take. Brilliant men have great ideas.
He chooses collaborators as talented as him. The filmmaker is fxxxing brilliant
Never liked rap/hip hop before. This guy changes everything. Check out everything he does. You won't regret it.
I am 257 years old and i love this song
Are you old enough for this?
I had stopped listening to almost all music, I have a Playlist now, and it's name is Ren. Thank You.
CO, US here... I just stumbled across one of your songs and I've been going down a Ren binge for the last 2 hours. I never do this. Your music has captured me, bro! Keep it up!
Square bizz son. Got me like, whaaa I been? Tis is fire. Nah mean?
This song is straight up genius
Came across Rem today (thanks Pat)...Loving it, I have no words seriously. Creativity is like on 200% keep doing what you're doing.
RESPECT
im 16 and i’ve suffered with mental health for 6 years now. I feel like it’s only getting worse. But your music and the words make me feel like i’m not alone
You're doing emotional strength training and one day you'll be a legend.
The o ly way out is threw ..theres no one like you ...only one it's TRUE..ride the growing pains like a wave...dont let your Hope cave ...get up move forward dont stay still and old😉be you ignite your art 💞🔥💞
Alone? We're most of the population girl. 💪😁May I recommend Dolores Canon's videos about wtf life really is. 🤗 It will give you something to chew on. Life is hard for a reason, we chose difficulty level HARD, before we got here. Start looking the root of the problem(through art, a therapist and DMT in a while, no need to rush it), and start fixing it, while fixing it, you'll find your self and your purpose in this game, don't be a quitter, that shit's easy. 😏
I don't know anything about your condition and it's none of my business.
That being said, it may be worth giving some sort of Meditation a try.
I used to mentally struggle a lot, but that stuff literally changed my life for the way better.
Nowadays loads of people seem to be helpless and caught up in their own mind.
Meditation is a legit way to uncover your true self and out of suffering.
U r not alone loz ❤
ren truly is a lyrical genius we are blessed to be experiencing such a talent
Amen 🙌 ❤️ 🙏
Ren's accountant: " So how much do you need to fund the next music video?"

And yet its still so much more watchable than so many over produced, bland, music industry videos

What happened to the Fish n Chips?
Did you go back and eat them?
I'd have said fuk the video I'm eating first!
Hahaha 😅👌🏼 💸
I’m so excited for this! The guitar in all ren’s songs is absolutely beautiful.
I've had Ren on repeat for months now. No music resonates as much as this music for me right now.
Making me wait 6 days for probably a masterpiece is just torture, can't wait to see it
Ikkkk
Same Glad it‘s Out Now
Hahaha I've been waiting for atleast a year since he put the first looks of this song on insta reels
He aint missed yet
I get shivers. This guy will be known as a genius in years to come. Power to you.
Ren is literally the only musician that I would want to meet in person, its never been something that has interested me with others but the impact he has had on my life and so many others is phenomenal. Honestly I don't know if I'd have made it through this last year without your music. Much love Ren
From a girl who used to live and work in bars in Brighton.. it's a beautiful place that makes some beautiful people.. you are one of them. Big love, Ren, i and many others love your music and are hoping you're ok and get better soon. We appreciate you 🙏 ❤️ 😊 xxx
Ren your voice is so important, you speak for those no one hears and u give hope where there is no hope anymore. Thank you so so much
Ren is amazing. wish I would’ve found him sooner. What an amazing musician and songwriter, and the dudes charisma is off the charts. And to do a lot of this stuff live in one take? That’s unreal. He has it all and does it very well
Another reminder of this masterpiece...not that i suspect you need reminding. I'm sure its sublime geniuses is forever etched on your mind never to be ever forgotten. In the absence of the ability to personally express a truth long comes Ren to touch the truth within and validate it ...with deep reverence and humble thanks to Ren.
“Pupils dilate in the dark, People die late in the dark”
Love that line for some reason. Great play on words I guess.
Amazing Brother!
Ich bin Schock verliebt in diesen Mann 😮 deine Songs sind so einzigartig und außergewöhnlich ❤
I purely love this. Pure love.
Hi Ren.
I absolutely love your music. Perhaps I might be your oldest fan. Your lyrics and delivery are amazing. Your insights (smfh) are deeply moving. You relate to people in a way that is unique and intelligent. As a songwriter I admire you. As a human who has experienced life for a bit, I respect you.
I wish you peace, harmony and wellness.
Much love to you Ren.
❤
Everything Ren's got to offer I'll take. Safest hands in British music currently. We're very, very lucky to have him.
As someone here with chronic illness that makes being a conscious body a living hell, Ren's talent and willingness to share it with us is a freaking gift!! Best medicine for this "way of life".
(You inspire me to dive into my own "art" again for survival. Many thanks Ren!!)
Your talent and strength is beyond words! Thank you for never giving up ✨💜
Sending so much love to you. Thanku!

Same Same
I feel you honestly 💜 im sorry you have a chronic condition 💖 I hope you can live when you can, when you get a bit of reprieve or just in general have a slightly better day than the day before 💜 i can empathise to a point as I've got a chronic condition myself, i say to a point because i dont know which condition you have it may be totally different to mine but their all awful, having no real control over your life is just so tough! I have had crohns disease since I was about 10 years old, first surgery for it was at 13, had 10 more surgeries since then so im pretty sure im just a walking machine at this point lol, sorry dark humour there but you have to laugh sometimes or you just cry all the time from frustration 😅 I've spent way too much time in hospitals or laid up isolated from the world 🌎 it totally messes up your mental health aswell, like my doctors have only now started to realise how much of a mental torture the whole things been so far and I'm 30 now! Took me having a psychotic break for them to even listen to me or understand at all what that does to not just your body but your mind! Nhs at its best... But listening to Rens music I find so therapeutic because I can relate to so much of what he says,and also to see him overcome his condition and do his thing musically even though it must be tiring and difficult is really inspirational 💙 it makes me feel like I can do things instead of automatically just going no I can't I have this wrong with me, I loved his music before I learnt of his condition, but after learning about that it just made so much sense as to why I related so much and made me love his artistry even more! I just want to see him live the best life he possibly can, and you aswell, anyone with chronic illnesses I just hope and wish they can do some of the things they want in life, take care 💖
Everytime I listen to this I find new meaning! Ren is more of a genius than we know yet
Ren, i showed this song in rehab/mental health instition and i feel this song so so hard. At 1:00 - thats how i walked alot around when manic-ish. Even wrote the whole song on paper and stuck it to my closet in rehab. So many songs over the years have helped me cope through the worst times. THANK YOU❤
I walk like that as well. Thank you for sharing that.
Like a lot of people, I fell down the Ren rabbit hole (after Hi Ren was posted in a discord I frequent about a week ago). Of course I was immediately blown away by your talent and moved by your story. But as a poet myself, with a love for wordplay, I’m completely knocked on my ass, legitimately speechless. “Pupils dilate in the dark/People die late, in the dark” is brilliant, and that’s just one of many! So add a 55 year old woman in Nashville TN to your ever growing fan base.
Another one too. Im bout 2be 63. Ren, when he sings... makes sense of my whole Life. Ren has created a new authentic genre in music, I believe.
When has an artist had such an effect on such a large demographic ? Like seriously. I have seen so many comments from people of different ages and back grounds who say Ren has made such a difference to their outlook . Strait laced grans in their fifties admitting they are learning to appreciate Rap . What the heck . I have seen Rap artists admit - Ren is fire . Anyway I am 67 so I am the club with you.
Ren has started a Genesis in music,and we are here the first ones on the arc,set off on this journey,he is going places.And even if we all got drowned in the flod,it was already worth the ride.thank you Ren🙏
You always put out so greatly directed videoclips, even in one take. Looks like this is also going to be stuck in my head for a while. Thank you for being a musician, mate ❤
is that Joseph? if so, thanks Joseph x
@@RenMakesMusic I can assure you that in fact it is most definetly myself.
Hi Ren! You have a brand new 64y/o fan here who grew up with The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Boston, etc.. For me, very little of today’s music compares (have to look outside the mainstream usually to find rare gems). I just discovered you tonight through a reaction channel, showcasing your spectacular, ground-breaking, AMAZING Hi Ren. Now I’ve seen your brilliant version of Bittersweet Symphony and this heartbreakingly gorgeous song with your (fabulous) duet partner, showing more of your melodic songwriting skills and vocal ability. You are truly special! You are touching people - those who share their own struggles and those who just love great music! I’ve read of your ongoing medical struggles in Canada and wish you miraculously great results! Now I’m diving down the rabbit hole of your music/channel and will imminently be downloading your music on Spotify. I just had to take a moment to thank you for your artistry and your vulnerable humanity! Be well! ❤️✌🏻✌🏻❤️
Same here... You have to listen to : Ren & BIBI~ Crutch ....its absolutely amazing !
@@henry1294 Thank you so much for the recommendation! Just watched it…WOW! ❤️✌🏻✌🏻❤️
@@TryingToBeKind You welcome...Ren is a hidden gem...he is so talented he can bottle it and sell it !! My playlist changed overnight ...I now have an official Ren playlist.Glad you enjoyed the song! Have a wonderful day full of blessings!
I started listening REN by accident, now I am obsessed. I started painting at the same time, cause my mind is constantly thinking, there is constant flow of thoughts. And right now my only way how to stop the thoughts and relax, is to play RENs music a paint. It's ultimate relax for my mind and I thank him for that. It's not surprise that my paintings closely knit to his music. Some of them are colorful and full of life. Some of them are dark. Like my thoughts. I am grateful to him for that. That finally me and lot of other people are understood. ( not english speaking person here). Please never stop REN 🙏
Hey I found ren in exactly the same way at the start of the year. Life’s hard but paint and ren just seem to go hand in hand. This bloke should be famous
Definitely my favorite artist, you're so good. Thank you for such great music, keep going man 🔥
It’s Sunday morning, 10:30a. Discovered REN in Hi Ren last Wednesday at 11:30p and haven’t been able to stop listening, watching, and experiencing his musical genius.
One of the greatest artists ever. Period.
Please keep it coming…
...me too - he's a god.
Every Ren song is an adventure, journey into the unknown.
I'm 55 have had depression since November 1997 sometimes the battle feels never ending and unwinnable and then on the odd occasion I hear music that reminds me I'm not alone in this battle that has no winners or losers just survivers. Thank you Ren for giving me hope!
This is art of the highest caliber. He didn’t lie, he did in fact aim straight for the heart. His music is tippy top tier. I love everything that you’re doing for us Ren. This world needed your messages, I can say that I do.
Time to listen again :)
I'm so proud of him I could cry 🥺
A collab with Lil Dicky would be interesting; they both have a remarkable way with puns and clever lines.
Wow! Utterly, uniquely, extraordinarily compelling.
Who else watches this everyday
Just started. I'm just realizing he raps too , only thought he wrote songs ! He's dam good but I will definitely burn this into the ground and circle back a month later and repeat lol gotta love ADHD! 😅

I'm absolutely obsessed with Ren and everything he does! He is an incredibly talented and thought-provoking artist. Speaking directly to our souls!
Im 37 and on Saturday i was found basically dead in bed was resusitaten and luckily for me they got me bk.. i was listening to Rens music before but now for some reason his words give me real goosebumps.. this week has been scary uncertain and definitely the hardest ive ever had BUT this mans music definitely has been getting me through it!
Overdose or illness?
How he hasn’t completely blew tf up is beyond me his music is magical an can we talk about that voice?!🥵its like angels singing an the beats that are changing continuously like he can obviously do it all now if only everyone can jump on this bandwagon and show him the love his music deserves !
❤❤❤❤❤ you are amazing!!! Much love!! Your music has helped me in so many ways

Can't WAIT for the NEW DROP!😁😎
The replay value on this track is crazy....
The hook is sublime.
Ren mate you speak to my life and heart you are insanely talented and intelligent and insightful beyond your years. You rock I wish you all the happiness in the world
I'm so mad that it's taken me this long to discover you! I've never felt a connection with an artist so quickly. I've gone down a ren rabbit hole the last week and I've not had a single skip. So talented!
leaving this comment so I can come back and visit soon. Ren is a master of his art I wish more people knew about him
Talent on another level . Ren you are a Bright Star of light - keep sharing your light it’s amazingly inspiring
God, I love this song. He does such a great job of speaking what so many of us are going through.
"Pupils dilate in the dark, people die late in the dark"... damn he's a Maestro
I'm 33 years old and just wanting to live a quiet life, Ren helped me through many struggles, and now luck is always on my side.
Better than nearly everything out there.. save for Ren's own catalog :) Watching this the day after the Grammy's... This blows away anything I saw last night... and those were some excellent tracks created. Ren is in a separate category the Grammy's have yet to understand.
Love you Ren. Just know your art is helping people going through tough stuff like myself.
Love you too ❤️
@@RenMakesMusicLOVE U REN ❤❤❤
If only one word, POWERFUL!!!
Woah, this man has skills,
Another world, simply the best
I just discovered Ren a week ago and I REFUSE to binge on his songs. I don't want them to stop. So I force myself to wait a day or two before I watch the next one even though TH-cam keeps ramming them into my feed. And I think I've watched Hi Ren like 12 times. I NEVER do that. Just wow.
This beat is absolute 🔥
How are all of your songs bangers? My god dude. Modern day poet. Pure class. Much respect.
This immediately became one of my favorites from you Ren! The flow..🤯 Keep em coming!!
Such a talent. Ren will go down as one of the greats, not of this generation, of all time.
One my favorite tunes of Ren and in the past 20 years.
Agreed I love all his music but this song is the one I direct people to that haven't heard of ren
Ren again and again. Hell and back again to find the Zen. Thank you Ren. Incredible!.
Mate, I gotta tell you, I'm almost 43, I have written and played music since I was 15 years old, and since I've found your channel on TH-cam, even if your music is way different than mine, you're a daily source of inspiration to me. Cheers and keep up the great vibes
Since coming across “Hi Ren” I’ve been diving into your whole catalog of music. I love the creativeness while telling your story. If really feels authentic which is something the music industry as a whole has been missing. Not to mention the emotion that you expel through the entire song. Keep up the great work bro and hope things are getting better for you medically! 🙏
Love your music ren another one that's shining light on those who suffer a truly great young man keep going ill keep watching
I just have to say it. this man is a legend.
