This song and "Insomnia" feel like a pair to me. Ren found just the right balance between spoken word and music to express these difficult thoughts in a very naked way. It's beautiful but boy does it hurt too. I always enjoy your reactions to Ren and I'm so glad you found ways to improve your life.
the first time I can remember being depressed I was 5. I'm now almost 70. I've lived with dysthymia most of my life. The only relief I've found is after listening to Ren. I woke up one morning a little over a year ago and for the first time in years I wasn't thinking of death. It took a few days for me to realize what I felt was Normal. It was wonderful. Unfortunately the recent election in the US sent me into a deep depression. I'm better now, but not longer normal. the depression is back but at a level of mild I can live with. It takes a poet to know exactly how awful depression is and put it into words that can explain to others what we live with. I wonder sometimes if Ren realizes how many people he's helped.
Wonderful reaction and commentary. Ren is such an amazing lyricist and an even better poet. Honestly, I truly feel that he is up there with some of the greatest poetic minds. Really enjoyed your reaction and your continued appreciation and support of Ren.
Hi, new sub. I've had anxiety and depression since about 11 or 12. At 7 my Mom married an abusive alcoholic and as I got older, it got worse. I ended up locking myself in my room most of the time with my dresser pushed in front. Anxiety developed and over the years depression, even though they divorced when I was 13. He was still a threat for years and the stress did a number. I'm 62 now and only in the last 2 years of therapy have I seen some light. Depression and anxiety SUCK!.
I’ve been diagnosed with major depressive disorder after major trauma and PTSD which caused major anxiety. I am a s survivor and I’m not sure it’s like that anymore but I keep taking the antidepressants that work. Just in case it can back full force. Thanks for doing these Ren songs. Will look out for the podcast.

I have a friend with depression & anxiety, so this is very relateable. Thanks for continuing on the Ren journey.
