This song, written by Ren Gill, is so beautiful! I had it on repeat for at least 24 hours after shooting it. It's one of those songs that you want to put on when you’ve very nearly given up hope, or you're struggling to harness the motivation to start your day. I couldn't keep it to myself any longer so please- enjoy, share, support!

If you want to know what kind of guy Ren is, im dying of leukaemia and reached out to him because i wanted this song played at my funeral but im not tech savvy enough to edit it - he went and edited out the beginning where hes talking and emailed me the audio of the song. This guy isnt just talented and passionate, hes a real 1 in a billion gem of an artist who still takes tjme to connect with and help his ever growing fan base. This song has become the theme tune to my treatment despite none of it working. Ive tried to introduce everyone i know to his music and so far not a single person has been critical. All ages and walks of life love it. Thank you Ren.
Thank you for sharing. Sending love and compassion to you and those close to you. Ren is a real class act and this just confirms it so much further for me.
I’ve typed so much and erased. No words for this. Bless you robertchale.
That he did that for you - I am weeping here - I hope your journey is not hard .
I want to wish you the best! I am a cancer survivor and know exactly how you are feeling! Stay strong and keep on being positive, your state of mind will help you immensely! I'm with you in spirit!
So much love to you.
Damn, I can not believe that I am still finding songs from Ren that touch me. This song needs to be everywhere, not buried int the UA-cam Algorithm.
❤❤❤😂😂😂AMEN
An Angel and a protector of Love,Hope and inspiration, Bless you Ren 🙏😁🤗
Watching this in 2023 is just pure joy. Cant explain how happy I am for you Ren, after all you went and still going thru you are now in a place you once dreamt and worked hard for. We your fans are truly proud of you. i hope you continue to inspire us Ren. May you continue to be blessed and healthy!
I just found you tonight and I've been watching your videos for 3 hours now. My brother, I do not know where all this beautiful pain comes from...but I want you to know you are a gift to this world. Your words will be here forever and help so many. Thank you so much for sharing your entire soul. Your fulfilling your purpous. Keep shining. You are so loved.
The film ‘Unrest’ will provide a lot of insight. Ren and this song were featured in it x
@@spellywelly thank you I'll check it out:)
Well put
Very well said.
This isn’t even his channel.
At 54 years old who can not live without music.. not one musician ever in my life has touched my heart like Ren has.. thank you for truly helping me every day ❤
Awww baby ren. He's such a rare gem, we must protect him at all costs.
Truth
Yes!
Yup, worried abt the wee scone wen he was in America! ❤❤❤🏴🏴🏴
This is such an incredible song. Such an incredible story. Such a powerful man - even at this in his early , young life. And such a devastating realization.
I’ve been going down this rabbit hole for about a year. I can’t believe Hi Ren has over 23 million views!!! Congratulations Ren!!!!
My friend turned me onto your music recently. I’m an elder and I didn’t expect, at this time, to find a young musician, poet, seer, lyricist, songwriter that would affect my very soul. After listèning to ‘Hi Ren’ over and over and realizing that this resonated with me on so many different emotions and meanings, I searched out the genesis of this genius. What a journey that seemed to encompass every genre of music, the lyrics f your original songs is poetic mastery - authentic, raw, honest, human…. Thank you Ren, for giving this elder reason for HOPE in this age of confusion - you are an old soul, a wise soul and I’m happy that I have lived long enough to experience your talent.
I am 64 and I turned my grandkids on to Ren. I love this guy. I also suffer from mental illness.
Welcome. You are not alone in your elder status nor your awe. It's a phenomenon.
🩵
Such a brilliant song writer. Love this guy
I came to Ren just 3 weeks ago, but his words in many of his songs feel like the same ones that come straight out of my journals from the past 15 years. For the role you played in helping bring his music and story to the world, thank you. Amazing that this was 8 years ago.
Welcome to the soundtrack of our healing . I wish you strength and support.
@@carolinesser-miles6608 Thank you very much! I wish you the same. I'm learning some Ren lyrics and songs to continue carrying the chain of meaningful impact forward.
Baby Ren was doing his thing even back then...i just love him....thanks
I hate algorithms because I should have found you years ago. I also suffer invisible diseases and have kids who do as well. Just so grateful to have you now.
Playing the rhythm and lead parts at the same time, on an acoustic! This man never ceases to amaze. 💛🤘🤙✌️
This is the best song ever. I don't know how I've missed it. My person. Thx bruv. Amen
Watching this a few days after Ren topped the UK charts. I'm so glad he is still with us.
Like a dimmer switch, light and dark are different levels of the same frequency, Ren understands this and also brings everyone else up with him into the light. He is unique and amazing.
Im just hearing this. I have Lupus/M.E. Misdiagnosed from the age of four until 40. I thought I would go insane, or just die. Tortured with pills, chemo, seizures, and now at 52 my body will never recover. You have no idea the people out here you are touching. Dont ever stop. You are the north star on the darkest of nights friend.
Beautiful post. I'm sure it will cross my mind many times in the future, and My heart and thoughts will be as well.
I have lupus to,stay strong !am so tired now,but dont give UP 🖤💜
Sending you love xo
MCAS here likely linked to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (finally diagnosed at 41yrs) and the trauma of having so much unexplained serious medical stuff, lungs popping, serious atraumatic injuries including fractured vertebrae, and all the neurological and cognitive impacts alongside EDS; only to have them downplayed, outright ignoring hard evidence like scans, or dismissed as coincidental and weird for decades.... well anyway that really really hit my mental and physical health worse than anything my body threw at me.
Even the fractured vertebrae were missed by the radiologist, I could see them clearly (former veterinary nurse) and a family member working in medical imaging managed to intervene from interstate for the specialist to have another look... meanwhile I'd been stuck with a broken back for a week and a GP who thought I was making stuff up for drug-seeking.
He was a bit put out that I didn't want heavy painkillers, and then started implying Munchausen's. When the second report confirming the fractures came back he barely said anything just handballed me to another medical practice.
Had a psychotic break not long after, the cause of which was never really determined, but my current GP believes likely brought on more by a physical process than the PTSD I was experiencing.
This year diagnosed with MCAS, and it's both relief and all the manifestations of grief and anger at all the wasted years... the wasted time actually starting to believe the doctors who thought it was just hysteria and psychiatric illness/ personality disorder.
I'm learning it's not only right to feel all that pain about how I was treated, but that it will never quite go away entirely. Us who were misdiagnosed, minimised, ignored and treated as crazy by clinicians have a lot of trauma to process. And a lot of motivation to push for things like that to never happen to anyone else.
I've started with my younger family members who obviously had the same genetic abnormality for EDS and managed to get three teenage nieces formally diagnosed in the 6 months prior to my diagnosis. At least that will help them through any other "weird medical shite" when doctors can't connect the dots. It's helped with accessing a lot of preventative therapies too, that help address the worst manifestations of connective tissue disorders.
@@Skittenmeow wow! I actually suffered a fractured vertebrae as well! Spondylolisthesis Pars defect level 3. I will need surgery at some point but have avoided it for quite a few years. It is progressive though and something I am seriously dreading. I finally have found a doctor in my team of doctors that I really and truly trust and that has made a huge difference in my life...but I dont know if you ever fully recover from the trauma of being essentially abused as a patient for so many years. And YES, IMO telling people with real medical issues that it is "mental" is ABUSE. I hope you are getting better care these days friend. I was just blown away when you mentioned a fractured vertebrae as it is not something you can really find in common with very many people. I am fortunate that mine was diagnosed quickly, however the care was horrific. Pushed heavily narcotics on me which literally did NOTHING for the pain because it was all nerve pain. I had several nerves that were being completely crushed by the slipped vertebrae. Narcotics do nothing for nerve pain. Then you are treated like some sort of pill chaser when you tell them the pills are not doing anything for the pain. After two months in my bed never leaving it fate intervened and I was able to see a different doctor compeltely by chance. He recognized immediately that i needed something for nerve pain and with in two days i was almost pain free and went shopping for groceries. I remember having thoughts that my life was over during those two months and maybe I should just end it. To know that a VERY easy fix was right under the fingertips of these doctors, and a MUCH less addictive and harmful drug was the solution that i still take to this day to deal with the nerve pain...its absolutely criminal to leave people suffering in that way. I wish you all the best....always fight for yourself, and if something doesnt seem right then you keep fighting until you get someone to listen! Best of luck to you friend.
Thank you Ren for not giving up. I don't know how you did it but thank god you did.
Just everytime we send our love his way is acknowledging his heart and worth. Let's do the very least for this beautiful man who tells it as it is.
I was diagnosed with M.E. back in 1990 at only 11 years old. There wasn't any internet back then, so my life in bed was pretty lonely.
Thankfully, after ten years of what we're supposed to be my formative years, I eventually reached a point of recovery, although it's wasn't official as there's no proper measurement for diagnosis or recovery.
Since finding Ren's tune a couple of months ago, and hearing his story, I immediately connected to much of what he he wrote about, even though I'm about 11 years older than him.
I found writing to be a great way to process my own story too, although not to the same level of Ren.
It's a fucking privilege and a half living with this man.
Thank you for being such a good friend while on this epic mission to finding answers to an illness that we still know so little about Ren x
great song, great comment
🔥🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥🎉
I second that motion
Wow…. Having a friend like this is special. Not just because of his talent, that’s amazing on its own, but watching him push through life with the strength of an army is infectious and inspirational. I hope you two are still friends 7 years later.
@@xbatman9649 heh
We sure are. He's a busy boy between tending to his health and his work passions but despite living in different cities now we hang out and he's still like a brother 😌
I love reading how he's touched people's lives.
As someone who has Addison’s Disease, insulin dependent diabetic - age 3, and a separate kidney disease due to a genetic disorder, your willingness to pour your soul, pain & courage into art that reaches into other’s souls and helps us tolerate the pain & fight is irreplaceable. May you be well. May you be happy. May you be free from suffering & the causes of suffering. May you be at peace. I am grateful for the “mantras” you create to help everyone heal through HOPE. I wish YOU continued healing & PLEASE don’t stop with your art. You are a true bardd in everything that means.
Ren, I have been enjoying your music.I am a mother of three boys and lost my oldest at 27.Medical and emotional support isn't given freely in the states.Young men are listening, keep giving them hope.Thank you!!
this should really have 20mil views, it's so beautiful
Most widely-seen artists don’t share their deepest and most true emotions unprocessed like this. Your ability to be so true to yourself in those moments is so validating for others who’ve faced trauma or hardship but who have stowed away emotions they didn’t feel safe expressing. And in validating us, you allow folks like myself to grieve. And when we can grieve, we can release the trauma that’s haunted us. Forgive me for intellectualizing emotions - it’s sort of the polar opposite of what an artist does, isn’t it? I’m trying to put my finger on why your songs pierce my heart so deeply, over and over again.
I FUCKING LOVE this song.
The raw talent before the rise of a legend 👌👌👌👌
W O W !! To watch this now, when he's just got his UK no.1 album (in a completely different genre) is incredible! His rapping and word play is unparalleled, but this little acoustic song touched me harder than any other song of his.
Musically this is more like John Butler, beautiful! I can't wait to see Ren explore more traditional song writing like this.
I’ve been misdiagnosed and medically gaslit for so long, until my infectious disease doctor dx’d me with Lyme. Thank you for putting this life in the spotlight. We still has dreams, we still want to participate in life… until the medical establishment gaslights until you have no where to turn. Thank you for shining a light on this. If you read the comments - you’re making a difference in my life.
My same experience until Google came along and I figured out what I have, a chromosome mutation where I cannot clean my blood.
I completely agree with you. It’s heartbreaking how we have been treated.
Seriously well done finding that out, when dr's left you out of nhs.
Hope you have the correct good treatment now.
That calling Ren. Even 7 years ago it was there. Pull people out of despair . Encourage them. Push them upward. Its always here. On your music. Why street music? The connection. Keeping it real. You were put on this earth for such a time as this. Thank you brother from another mother. For all your did for me. I give you all I can to you. My prayers for your happiness and healing.
Exactly!!
Yes!!
"When I was 17, I shouted out into an empty room.... that I would one day defeat the forces of Evil" - and so speaketh Archangel Ren.... and now he flexes and breathes blood into his tattered wings, rising like a Pheonix from the Ashes, a true Warrior of Light to shine the brighest light upon and into the Darkness, illuminating the way out for both our inner darkness as we reveal and explore ourselves, finding solace and strength as the spotlight is shone on our fellows who were there in the darkness all along with us, and the exterior Darkness that wishes to keep us captive in that darkness through corporate greed and control with most of us not realising, as we idolise and prioritise the wrong ideals that we are consuming ourselves into oblivion...
Jeez REN has been so good for so long . Beautiful song
Re n you are so clever love you I am super woman really a scared littltle girl of seventy love yoh 3:17
The more I hear this song, the more I'm sure that it's one of the most well written songs I've ever heard.
That little self-satisfied giggle at the end is like watching my son walk for the first time.
The strength and courage of Ren has now gotten him a VERYwell deserved number 1 album! What an inspiration!
I LOVE you! Cried like a baby watching this, knowing what you were going to have to endure after singing it!
Those lyrics:
"Although you test me, my God! Ill take all you throw at me"
They pierced my heart!
Remember this... Like Job, God did NOT throw all the pain he endured... Losing everything, including his health... BUT KNOWING how strong his love and faith was, alowed the devil to do his best to take him down!
BUT... like you, Job did not give in. Even at the end when things got so bad, he cried out to God begging for his life to end... He still endured!
YOU are a bright and shinning STAR in these dark times, a beacon, standing on a mountain, giving light to those all around the world in need of hope.
There is NO doubt in this old womans mind that like Job, God will bless you twice as much for your faith and endurance to make it throgh all the trials and tribulation you have suffered!
God be with you always!❤
In your own words. “When you’ve gone you’ll rise, in the music that you’ve left behind “. 👊🏻❤️👊🏻
This one IS and will ALWAYS be my favorite.
He captured my HEART.
Such STRENGTH in a time of weakness.
I play it EVERY DAY.
I'm 56 years old and the guys words resonate in my soul so deep! Where have you been kid! We could have used your insight years ago. But thank you for coming forward now! Your words are wine for my soul!
In tears right now after watching this for a million different reasons but the main reason is because of how amazing you are, were and will be my friend. 🧡
Every so often .. God makes another brilliant story teller. Ren, your songs are magic carpet rides.
I am a very patient person who has gotten a number of comments from people saying, "I wish I had your patience." I tell them I haven't always been this way, I have to practice my patience whenever the opportunity presents itself. I most definitely recommend that everyone practice their patience at every opportunity.
Look at how bright-red his hands are-Raynauds, Dysautonomia
I have severe ME/CFS and these lyrics brings me so much comfort.
I'm 63 soon but know a good song when I hear it and know raw talent when I see it, love ya Ren :-)
AHHH...Sweet Ren. I just love you. I love your spirit. I love your vibe. I love your perseverence. You are by far my favorite artist...and I am sad that I only just discovered you in the last few months. Keep shining that bright light my friend. It is so needed in this dark world.
Wild to see this years later, after REN was CORRECTLY diagnosed with Lyme disease. God bless REN, you really are BRILLIANT.🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶
I’m 66 and think you are genius. While I cry as I listen to your music. You are so real. Thank you for that.
This hits me harder than I think any song ever has.
I wish i had known aboiyt your music a long time ago. Like many of your fans i have CFS/ME and was diagnosed at 28 (10years ago now). The lyrics are so real not just for this but allof them. You are just stuck in limbo waiting for your body to get better, but it never does. Thre isn't much help out there for us, but we can at least all be there for each other, be kind and be patient with us. Thanks for this. X
Shiver bumps, tearful eyes, beating heart, standing up wanting to fight for your health
I'm so glad I found this gem in the middle of the night when I needed it the most. You can tell this comes from Ren's whole heart and soul. What a beautiful person. I feel so lucky to have found his art
It’s so weird, I refound Ren after he started releasing all his new music, I knew of him before from his covers, but although I like covers, they’re not typically something I play more than a few times. When I found him again, I fully fell in love with him and all his original music, so I shared some of it with my best friend who just so happens to suffer from ME. I hadn’t listened to this song at the time and to my surprise she knew of it and of Ren and she sent me this link. I never listened to it at the time (I think I was afraid it would upset me as I would think of her and her suffering) until today, I finally clicked on it when I truly needed it the most. I’ve had the worst day, a huge step I was about to take in my life was cancelled, my small happiness was ripped from me before I could fully grab a hold and I was so close to giving up and letting go of the tiny fragment of light I have been refusing to let go of for almost ten years now. I was so close to allowing myself to surrender to the darkness and stop fighting as I was starting to believe that that was what the universe wants for me, but listening to this song and reading the comments, I am reminded of the strength we all have inside us, the strength I have inside me. I don’t want to stop fighting while I am fortunate enough to be alive and able.
I hope you continue to look for the light. 🙏
I did not realize how old this video is. Unbelievable. Young Ren before his most recent amazing work. This brought me to tears. God bless you, Ren, we are all with you and love your music.
This makes me cry, every time.
You remind me so much of myself.
Not musically nor your intellect.
But your fragility and strength at a young age. And keeping that fragility and strength as you grow. I’m 51. You remind me of so much things I have forgotten.
Cheers Ren.
Annan
❤ brother
Just heard you for the first time tonight. Man, what an artist, what amazing talent, music that moves every part of one's soul. I don't know you in person but who cares. But I can tell you one thing i know you are a legend. You offer inspiration to Millions.
Look at you now. What a talent spirit, human being. God bless you.
Bless his soul for healing ours, he was meant to be here for us! 🙏
I’m happy to have been able to hear this man’s words I feel his words are that of a prophet
Ren u have no idea wat ur music does to help me through, Ihave MS N it really is soooooo hard I put on a smile for everyone but no one knows the struggle only music gets me through n ur tunes fully resignate😅with me it pulls me through 🙏🙏THANKU🙏I’ll love to meet u one day or even c u live🙏✌️✌️✌️🙏🙏✌️✌️✌️
The second time Ren has brought a tear to my eye in less than an hour ..... one of the most powerful musicians i have seen for a very very long time .......
It's amazing to read back to comments like this, knowing the amazing things he's gone on to create since then. Still so true, this guy is something else!
Thank you for sharing this video. A message for REN.
I have been listening to you for 4 weeks, you are so unbelievably gifted, I am so sorry you are going through so much pain. I gave a kidney away altruistically 3 years ago, if I could give a part of me that would make you better I would, you are the sort of person that makes life worth living, you are as many have said, a gift. Long may you continue to give such thought provoking art. God bless you and those that support you. Never give up.
They say my unborn son has a heart defect and will need open heart surgery when he is born. Lately, I have been deeply down and depressed and filled with anxiety. When I heard this song this morning Ren, I cried for the first time about my son. I have been trying to stay so strong and calm for my family, but I am scared. I feel your soul, strength, and hope in this and all of your songs. I am so sorry you had to go through your suffering, but I want you to know it is giving me the faith, hope, and patience that I need to face this day. Thank you Ren. I'll be humming, "I have the strength of a mountain," all day.
Prayers for baby and you as well! Just sing Rens songs so the baby can hear and God Bless you!
Just remember you are not alone, many on here with stories who can empathise.
Thanks for making this video so many years ago. Ren is such a cool guy. He really seems to be everything you want someone to be. No one’s perfect, but he’s really making an impact on people and he deserves all the praise and appreciation he’s been receiving.
Exquisite. Invigorating. Charged
. Powerful. Liberating. Vibrational. E=Mc 2. A song that's been 'tumbled' - put through the wash - without the intent or a want to disrespect & disregard it. The most curious, splend, soul touching song i've ever heard from 'my' much loved & revered song bird REN... I'm not 'religious but you'e made a lil' church with this one REN. A song to be sung with heart & conviction. Oh my REN... You've really done it this time.... blah blah blah. A rather flurid pnemonia induced reaction... I have the heart of a lion x
These lyrics are so incredible, the blessing that has come out of Ren’s cursed illness is the inspiration he gives with his beautiful music! ❤🙏🏼
I’m beyond sorry for what you’ve gone/going through
Your voice saved my life
I love you brother
I couldn't stand there being no lyrics for this song.
Forgive me for any errors in words or formatting
Its alright, it's okay
I'm feeling brave gonna face this day
It's okay it's alright
no tears will kiss my cheeks tonight
And it's all good, I'm just fine
My words ring out like hollow shells
Just slow down
It takes time
But time moves slow I know this well
And my heart breaks 1000 times a day
But for every hope that dies another one takes it's place
Because
I have the strength of a mountain
And I've got the courage of the deep blue sea
And I have the heart of a lion
And the stars burn bright inside of me
And although you test me, my god
I stand so proudly can't you see
That I have the strength of a mountain
And I'll take all you throw at me
This world is quite scary
I know that 'cause I've been for here some time
But all that prepares me
For a day I can truly shine
Cause I've been so broken
And pickin up fragments of myself
I'll glue them
Back together
So I can stand at the edge of this world and yell
That my heart breaks 1000 times a day
For every hope that dies another one takes it's place
Because I've got the strength of a mountain
And I've got the courage of the deep blue sea
And I have the heart of a lion
And the stars burn bright inside of me
And although you test me, my god
I stand so proudly can't you see
But I have the strength of a mountain
And I'll take all you throw at me
I'll dust the cobwebs
Off this sheath
And I'll take the sword of my belief
And in this storm I will not flinch
And I will not move
No, not an inch.
Because
I have the strength of a mountain
I have got the courage of the deep blue sea
And I have the heart of a lion
And the stars they burn bright inside of me
But although you test me, my god
I stand so proudly can't you see
I have the strength of a mountain
And I'll take all you throw at me
I went down with this at 21. . Your heart gets broken as you can’t join in anymore. Your heart breaks again when the medical profession refuse to believe you, and then again when you find out there is no treatment. I can’t believe this is still the case after so many years, the state has failed us hugely. If they realized how much they are losing in out working taxes, as we cannot work, then they might spend more on research
@@omygod9062 wishing you the best stranger
Thank you. These lyrics are so powerful. I am so thankful Ren truly does have the strength of a mountain.
Thank you for lyrics. Ren lyrics are solid diagold. Not one wasted word.🦍🐷🪘🎸🌕
I love this raw and real version of you bro. Your music helps me so much
The light and hope you just gave me in your darkest hour 7 years on.
Oh baby boy, I just wish I could bring you nourishing soup and protein smoothies and soft weighted blankets and squishy pillows. I’m old enough to be your mother and those are the things I do for my adult children when they’re sick or just having a bad time. I’m keeping you in my prayers and hoping you can keep creating and performing your wonderful inspiring art. Love to you.
Yes agree, he brings out that maternal instinct, yesterday listening to his music I just wanted to give him a huge hug that I would give my own son of a similar age.
@P M musik OK so it's not just me!
Same. I live with my 33yo daughter, we both have EDS and a host of comorbidities. I will do the same for her when i can. I've been living on my back because my vertebre are all either subluxing or disintegrating. The bones in my neck are slowly disintegrating and are compressing my brainstem giving me blinding headaches and screaming nerve pain. And I'm scared of surgery.
Ren and my beautiful daughter give me hope for the world. These 'kids' are changing the world. My grandson doesn't appreciate music yet, but you can be sure that his musical education will include Ren!
Love to all my Zebras and butterflies. Let's not forget the bullseye and all the other chronic sufferers. Sending a rainbow of Love, hope, and peace to you all. The light in me, sees and recognizes the light in you. Nameste. ❤❤❤ 😊
@@deathbysnusnu1970I'm with you. Love 💗
After 29 years with ME, I thought I had covered all the emotions...thanks for this.
Ren is an angel.
This song will save lives!
OK ..This song is absolutely flipping amazing. You know for years, we hear about heart and soul. In REN, we are witnessing the combination of the two.
I wish I knew how to reach out to REN and tell him how awesome he is and that I Truly Honestly him and what his messages are and speaking his truth about MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, AND FOR NOT BEING AFRAID TO BE HONEST ON "TABOO" OR "UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT NECESSARY! TOPICS & DISCUSSIONS", ESPECIALLY AROUND MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES",
THANKS REN FOR YOUR HONESTY AND FOR HIS VULNERABILITY BUT STILL SPEAKING UP! AND TO NOT BE AFRAID TO HAVE THESE NECESSARY CONVERSATIONS
. !!❤❤❤
THANKYOU REN!!
My girlfriend suffers with CFS. I watched Unrest to better understand her condition and I looked up this song after the film thinking it was Ed Sheeran or someone (Admittedly I don't listen to chart music) I was really surprised to find it was Ren from the film (An actual ME/CFS Sufferer). It's an amazing song and deserves a lot more recognition than what it is getting.
Those lyrics sounded like they came out hard, with pain. Felt every word love. 💯
God damn Ren. This is beautiful.
Ren, I'm in One of your groups. This made me cry, not just because the lyrics resonate with all of us who go through chronic illness, but because watching you sing it makes me feel what you feel. I love what you say about a thousand things that don't work, we can never give up.
Thank U for writing this ... Ur completely right :*
Thank you for the comment, and I needed a positive reminder I'm not the only person dealing with chronic illnesses. Ren, you are truly amazing and your ability to express the struggles of the war within impact a tremendous amount of people previously hidden in the shadows. Thank you
@@TryM.yVivier So true.
especially when you see that the comment is 8years old :O@@TryM.yVivier
Iam a grown man supposedly ❤an your lyrics make me cry with joy an sad memories but all good❤love you ren 🎉
I’m an M.E girl here .. i feel and hear you
Tears... Sad happy, and feeling like this is your song but also mine. In the same way u wrote it, no spin of interpretation. All it is, all you feel. All your battles... Im. In ur boat... Not giving up. Moving but stuck still, but go hard when I can. N god n I talk more than any other. 🐍🐉Hardest battles for strongest soldiers. 👫🦁🐱Lion strong! 🐏God got us. Ren. Signed your " first mate" on this boat of life⁂Jen⁂🦀
How have I not found Ren sooner? Amazing artist x
Perfection. Beautiful. Masterpiece.
He’s such an incredible musician and writer. Can’t quit watching his videos
Oh Ren ❤. Where you were hiding till now 🙈. Talent beyond measures xx
This song should be massive. Thats how great it is.
10/10REN10/10. It’s one thing to face adversity and come out better for the experience. It’s another when a body, mind and soul are tested to the nth degree of their limitations some come away stripped of the societal and self imposed barriers all the better for the journey. Stay strong Ren (whatever strength means to you at any given moment. Be it the strength to shut down for a day to spend in bed or to tackle a physical, emotional or spiritual barrier or battle). It’s how the diamond comes to be.

I don’t know what Muse this beautiful soul works under but to this 73 year old American he’s a treasure and I hope he’s around a long time! Fascinating insight into music and he can open that World to me! Bravo!
Could not agree more . ( a 67 yr old Canadian here )❤
this song will save lives!
I swear at this point I can't even handle how legendary you are but also how much I relate to one lyric after another. 1990s my Gen too, I was bedridden and trapped with nervous system issues for over a decade and way better now. Stronger for it. Wiser for it. Humbled by it.
Patience, man, i can't count the times I told myself, one day, one day I'll be well and healthy again. I'll never give up, and I never did.
And now I'm here listening to this song after damn near fainting from hearing clutch for the first time....and then 5 more times after that
Just, man, fucking legend, you are
Even 7 years ago, just absolutely amazing and inspiring ❤️
Currently in rehab...this is helping❤
The way he's sitting would destroy my old knees. Good on Ren.
What a beautiful soul.
Happy Easter Renegades❤
