I'm dealing with chronic pain for some years now, its somehow comforting to know others are struggling and it's not just me. Wish you the best Ren, this is lovely
@@ekscentar1 that's not what the comment says "it's somehow comforting to know others are struggling" I don't judge it, I guess it's very human, we indeed feel better when others are equally suffering.
@@Anorectic.Bumblebee naw mate...it's a whole different thing than that. Chronic pain and illness can be so isolating. It's hard for people who don't go through it to conceptualize the mental and physical toll. We have so many thoughts, some may lead to feeling so alone in this world. But, when we can find someone who feels the same things we are feeling, it feels less lonely. Humans need to feel understood. It isn't praising the pain, but it's nice and comforting when we can say, "I get it. And it effing sucks."
REN I was shot by my stepfather in 2016 leaving me paralyzed from waste down I was 26 lost in pain and drug addiction I finally woke up around 30 I'm 34 now I'm song writer from southern USA you have given me the push I needed turn my pain into positive changes for others! thank you sir
Ren has been one of my favorite singers for several years now (since around the time jenny's tale was released) and it amazes me how he still gets better and better every album without fail. funnily enough i started listening to your music and Ren's around the same time actually :D
Wait WHAT I didn't know Stupendium watched Ren! This is awesome And by the I love your works have a good day :D Edit: how does this have like 48 likes ._.
YOOOO STUPES!! You and Dan have been my favorite nerdcore artists ever since i was a kid. So glad to see you enjoy ren as much as I do. Honestly really proud of ren for being recognised and of you for growing so much
Our daughter has Lyme disease....your songs expressed the pain and suffering she has not been able to verbalize. Thank you Ren. You have no idea how much your music has helped. Thank you.
I’m a 67-year-old U.S. poet and progressive activist who has dealt with Lyme disease for over a decade, now mostly (not completely) recovered. I’m also a fan of Ren, esp Hi Ren. In case it might be helpful for anyone struggling with Lyme disease, or trying to figure out whether they have Lyme disease or not, I have just done a video discussion (plus a poem) with Jerry Simons, an integrative health practitioner in New York with as much expertise in treating Lyme disease as anyone in the country. Jerry writes a monthly column for Lyme Times and is skilled in using both Western and holistic medicine for treating Lyme disease. There are no sales pitches here, just what we hope is a helpful discussion. The newly posted UA-cam video of our discussion is at: ua-cam.com/video/F75vKVykST4/v-deo.html
for yall wondering, here's what the lyrics say in the first part (they're in welsh) salwch yw fy athrawen - sickness is my teacher fe dorrodd fy ngwên - my smile broke mae fy esgyrn teimlo'n hen - my bones feel old yma yw gorwedd corff ren - here lies the body of Ren
It amazes me how with every song, depending upon the current mood, hits in so many different ways. The first time I saw the title of this song I knew it was significant for me…today after repeatedly listening with much pleasure, it touches me in such a deeper more empathetic way…I am trying to design a shirt with all of the specific lyrics that I connect with but I may have to do multiples. In all of the ways this music and this artist reaches each individual at pivotal moments in their lives leaves nothing more to explain about his prodigal existence. I can never again selfishly feel let down or lost in the chaos when I know Ren is my gift, our gift to the egoistic mind that can’t seem to remember that we are all one. It’s only a matter of time before the ego becomes a memory & Ren is one of the strongest that can take us there. So much love for us❤
As a person who is chronically ill, bed bound 90% of the time and often has pain flares that bring me to my knees, this song is what runs through my head, over and over. Thank you for this gift Ren, I'm so sorry that you know what it is to experience this type of suffering, I am grateful you've made it into something people like me can hold onto
This is just sick I have literally had it on repeat since I heard it first 14 hours ago it really hits ya so fxkin real raw honest open thank you for this
Ren, your music is incredible. I love music, all types, but what you write has hit something deep in my core that nothing has touched in the same way. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in my late 20s. My symptoms are very similar to those experienced by people with Lyme Disease (both illnesses are often misdiagnosed as the other), and when I heard the words of my diagnosis, my world went dark. And just recently, Ive learned I may have been fighting undiagnosed ADHD too, to add to the cognitive mess. Your music has helped me crawl out of the blackness. I've been fighting for 7 years now, and what you write has helped me see that there is hope, that I can survive and thrive. Don't stop, you are a beacon of light for so many of us chronically ill. Thank you for your music, and for sharing ypur gift with the world!
I know this masterpiece is talking about chronic pain but as something with pretty bad depression I also relate. I love how Ren’s lyrics are versatile .
Ren has captivated us all regardless of age ❤ I'm old enough to be his mama, but will be a stand in. Whenever you need a hug REN , and are visiting the states I'm sure there is a group of us ready to help 😉❤
Excellent!!!!!! Thank you, Ren. That you turned your agony into this Song is truly miraculous. I so hope your treatments in Canada will keep you from feeling this level of pain again. 💜
I'm 72 years old and I have Chronic Lyme. I've been sick and in pain for 35 years. I fell in love with your music immediately when I first heard it. I think this one is my favourite. Thank you so much for your amazing work. I hope there will be a cure for us some day.
Thank you. I have 15 genetic and autoimmune diseases/disorders. It's a life I would not wish on my enemies. Always sick. Always tire. Feeling like you are alone in everything. Your songs are beautiful and speak truth
The feeling of being alone in it, is an extremely powerful feeling. I wonder how to change this feeling, transform it, could connecting with others who have health issues that lead to the feeling of aloneness. I feel , at times so deeply in my aloneness that my psyche feels attacked. Dante’s hell feels as if it has swept me up swirling around and spinning me. Or I swingg… and I feel as if I am Waiting for Godot. Neither good doors and a human saying it’s tough im in some new type of hell or purgatory can be experienced as a ‘we are visible to some’ we are alone while within a social media platform, for a moment we can hear another’s pain, isolation. Xxx
@juliebennett8659 I'm right there with you. I am the only human being in the medical records, alive or dead, with my mixture of fucked up issues. That knowledge of loneliness in knowing for a *fact* that I am the only person to experience the hell I'm in is... it makes me feel like I'm drowning sometimes. But. I have kept going. Frankly, it is purely out of spite. I REFUSE to confirm all the beliefs of the people who told me I would fail or die before reaching adulthood. You'll make it. Your suffering is real, and I see you.
@Preseptic I'm so sorry you too know what it's like. I'm glad you have the outlook you do! I'm yhe same way. I I'm walking even though I was told I'd be in a wheelchair. I've beat my first live expectancy. My new one is 35-40 but I'm doing everything I can to extend that. I wish you all the best and I hope you have more good days then bad
There were decades in my life where I truly believed that if God was merciful, He would take me home. I began healing at 40, was healed at 52. Now 66, I am grateful for my life, feel blessed well beyond what I deserve and take every day as the gift that it is. I merely endured, then healed. All the best to you young man. You are a gift to us all.
This goes hard Listening to this all year tbh, had me hooked so hard in the beginning and kept drawing me further on Loving this Shoutout chronic pain nation, we stand strongest when supporting eachother
He will be. Mark my words. I have sought out and predicted artist who will make it for the past 20 years and I've not been wrong yet 🤞. This guy deserves it.
@sgilmour47 I definitely hope this won't be an exception for you then. He definitely deserves it and I'd absolutely LOVE to see an independent artist make it big WITHOUT needing some Big Label to do it (imo the big labels **always** end up tainting their artists at some point down the line sooner or later). Rooting for Ren!
There are a total of 7 change of music and the tone/the style of music (the beat) then the start of the seven sin, each of the change also connect to the seven sin 0:43 #1 1:24 #2 1:44 #3 2:34 #4 3:06 #5 3:23 #6 3:39 #7
Absolutely awesome lyric video. Love the colors in the standard "sick boi" attire. Red and black is such a sick combo. Song goes as hard as ever and with visuals even harder. Thank you Ren and thanks to lyricvids for this video!
Yea, it's crazy how he invented the use of Red and Black! Omg, so fire! Who woulda ever thought about putting those two colors together!!! Everything he does is so genius!
Honestly Ren has some really good wordplay in his songs, for example "dine at the table of the coroner" sounds a lot like "dyin at the table of the coroner", probably intentional but maybe not idk
i feel there are some many word plays we all miss.. . for example "Bones we're a home" i hear "Bones of Rahome" like who is Rahome?? maybe we just all see and hear want we wanna, but yeah i could totally see this except, on the coroners table we are already dead unless ..... nevermind that's to dark .... nice catch though!@@nicesquid102
Wouldn't be surprised if Ren is a member of Mensa and has a Ph.D. Bro is a 👑 amongst an infinity of fools I have been a fan of his since jump, am also a chronic pain stoic.
I'm dealing with Endometriosis for so many years. It's a different disease than yours but man almost everything from your story is similar to mine. The suffer of extreme fatigue, pain, being so much restricted from life, simple things...and so on. Your music is so empowering. Plus it sounds always like a masterpiece! Thank you so much for helping us! All the best for you Ren! ♥
I suffered with endometriosis for decades. Indescribable pain when all I could do was curl up in the fetal position and sob. The day I had my hysterectomy was one of the greatest days of my life. I was finally FREE!! My wish for you is that you somehow get the relief you deserve.
OMG Endo sister!!!❤❤❤ It's such a horrible disease 😢 and it's beyond me how is possible that it touches so many women and yet is do difficult to diagnose (well, not difficult per se, it can be done in 30 minutes, but medical professionals just KNOW SH**T about diagnostic of it and they still have the audacity to tell you you are ok instead of just telling "sorry I'm not the best at doing ultrasounds for Endo, go see someone else") And so little research and only "treatment " (not really) are hormones that fuck up with our lives... It's just so beyond me how we are completely abandoned in this society. We only started to talk about this illness more in the last 2/3 years. When someone tells me I live in an equal rights world I just want to scream... Sorry for the rant😢 I've been in so much pain the last few days I didn't sleep much and I'm easily angry 😅 Yesterday I saw an article of a doctor saying that ou fatigue compares to that of a cancer patients after chemo... I would like the world to know that. I felt validated reading that being unable to get up from my bed. More of the time people think Endo is only painful period for 4/5 days a month, so why I'm so dramatic and why I don't work? Anyway... Hugs for you sisters!
@@shoszannahSending hugs! ❤I feel you and you're so right! We're not alone. I hope that at least now something is happening in the science of endometriosis so that we can finally get some help. This has been swept under the carpet for too long.
It's like there are twelve songs being expressed one at a time. Ren always finds a way to steal my breath with his savage poetry. Another banger, boy. Anyone that can turn degression and pain into creativity and love is winning the game. Keep it up.
I agree w/you from the very first line! Great way to explain this song along w/his others! Seriously, though, that last statement (before "keep it up") is crazy deep and powerful - For real, thanks for posting that. It's certainly true for Ren and for personal reasons, makes me feel better about my sh!t... Again, thank you :)
Seriously everyone this is not a sob story. But I've just been diagnosed with stage four terminal cancer, and I'm in shit loads of pain, and at the same time, I found Ren and his music. Every day, i listen to Ren, and the messages in his lyrics help me understand the pain I'm in and what it was all about. He makes me feel stronger for1. You are a legend Ren
@user-ye5cm8to7s yo bro ... Yeah I'm still with you guys, and I'm not planning on leaving just yet. I'm making loads of fun memories and having probably some of the best times of my life with the absolute love of my life. Been travelling to california, and south africa. Just seen kings of leon at hyde park in London at this moment in time I'm not letting anything take away my smile 😀. Love and happiness to everyone and stay strong 💪. Xx
Found Ren on a reactor’s channel last week with ‘Hi Ren’, and it shook me. Might actually have renewed my spirituality and belief in a higher power. Never thought it could get better. I loved ‘Hi Ren’, but it can’t be one I listen to over and over because I cry too much. This one is going on the playlist. The combination of lyrics, music, innovation and creativity; dissonance in the most beautiful way, humanity…. this brings so much to the table.
Such a fantastic song! The lyric vids are so well done. Really highlights the lyrical imagery you paint in this track. Starting the album in Welsh was a nice touch. 🏴 Excited for what you have planned for 2024!! ❤
Hope everyone realizes how rare it is to get to experience such brilliance. Thank you Ren for sharing your masterful talent with all of us. I trully think you're a musical savant like no other out there. The once in lifetime type. Your music has been life changing. Looking forward to seeing what's next as your health improves. Love you Ren!
Right man and he has such an extreme talent in what is true pure magic The only real magic that I think I've ever experienced and probably ever exists the same magic that God used to speak/sing the entire universe into existence The same magic that the angels sang forth in astonishment at such a thing what a potent and amazing talent
I feel like taking this to my next doctors appointment. Ren says it so well. Anyone living with chronic pain must resonate with this tune. Ren you are awsome man,
Amazing song. It’s strange, I keep coming back to songs I heard from you only once or twice and they are fast becoming my favorites. I really enjoy this one and Down on the Beat (wife goes crazy for that one). You are the champ sir. Props.
HOLY SHIT REN?!?! This is perfection at its finest. unnatural skill mixed with unbelievable intelligence, coupled with good looks. Jesus man, if you weren't sick you're ego you would probably be in containable. You ARE the most talented musician I've seen/heard in my 42 years of life!. Mad love and support from Spring Hill, FL 🙏🏼🙌🏼💚
Sick boi album was so fire and finding Ren and learning about his journey has been so inspiring/motivating to me. So much so I had to go get the “sick boi” font tattooed on my leg. Ty Ren so much for sharing your heart and art with us, it has helped me so much this past year, you are truly a legend ❤️
Ren, everything about your art is mesmerising. Everything you do feels like it's always done perfectly. You are an exceptional person for sure. There is something about you that is so unique yet so familiar to one's heart. It feels like we have waited for you for ages and here you are. The world had no idea it needed you so much
I'm 55 and have been battling chronic pain since 2000 and I find some comfort knowing that I'm not the only one. Ren Thank you, your music has touched me deeply, I love all of your music you are such an artist. Keep the music coming my brother love you wish you nothing but success in everything you do.
I think I might be the "Jenny" to your "Screech!" (Just don't reach for the sheath with the blade with the teeth...) I'm also 55 and started my journey with pain in 2004. There are so many of "us" here! For good reason, of course. Nice to meet you! Hope you're having a good day?
In "Hi Ren" you say "Cause I'm fine by myself, I'ma genius And I will be great, and I will make waves And I'll shake up the whole world beneath us." I think you must be a prophet as well, because you are definitely doing that. "Hi Ren" alone was musical genius, thought provoking, reaching so many people on so many levels. Most artists never reach that level of self awareness/empathy to touch the world. But you continue to put out music that reaches to the soul of who we are as human beings. You truly are a genius. ❤
Quetiapine pregabalin diazepam mirtazapine espranor zombie here. I love him... power, genesis, chalk outlines, diazepam etc. He definitely relates to us... n us him . I used to take drugs to deal with EUPD, now I put REN on... when hes arguing with himself in hi ren n hes says my music is doing bit, it connects, it's the voice that you hear as you loosen the noose..... it's like he knows my life lol..
A friend recommended this song to me. I finally had a moment to listen. I’m sitting here stuck doing another infusion and this fucking hit me hard. I won’t lie I teared up. So now I’m required to listen to every piece of music this gentleman has done.
As a person dealing with pain each and every day and doctors have given up on me other than willing to cut nerves in my neck!!! I wanted to find an artist who could express this type of life and boy did I find it in Ren. Incredible lyrics, melody and beat. Truly amazing Ren. Keep going my Welsh friend
I am enthralled with this song . The way you managed to make others understand how corruptive true pain can really feel with music and words is not something i could not have imagined . Be well Ren . This lyric video was fire ,
I agree but for now this will do. "Loco" and "sick boi 2" are out there naked with no lyric video to cover them. Reactors will flock to it like a brand new song with a lyric video. So strange but that seems to be the way.
@@davemcc9642i dunno if Rens fine with it but even tho the visuals are pretty AI images/videos it is still stealing someone's art ,Ren's full song ,not a remix or a retake or even a reaction ,him and more & more that are doing it & then putting it on their own channels therefore competing with Ren's videos ,it is an illegal copyright violation & I think it's wrong & I don't know why youtube is letting them get away with it 🤔
Looking through the comments says it all. I don't need to tell my story. Rens music sings it 4 me/us . Spine tingling ,goosebumps everytime. I get so pumped.I don't know how I have yet another Ren favourite. Seven sins hits it ✍️
Man this song is so incredible on so many levels. The way it makes me feel with just the music direction alone. Even without knowing welsh coming into this song you can tell this is a eulogy, It sets the melancholic vibe so perfectly, to then start the sort of plucky music at the start that perfectly encapsulates the feeling that we're about to be taken on a journey through the experience of the person we're meant to mourn in the first section. The strings tell us this story is tragic, but the heavy base(?) like sounds also convey a certain defiance. It's really brilliant. Then ren is there to narrate his pain with the most articulate and tragic poetry I've ever heard. The fact that it's the first track really solidifies that feeling that this is the beginning of the narration. I wish i could speak fluently in technical music jargon so i could better articulate just how much this song makes me feel and appreciate how talented Ren is as an artist.
I live with chronic pain and this song is healing and real. Thank you Ren. I hope you always find strength to deal with your pain and good friends around your when you don’t feel like you can. ❤️
Ren brother, I feel the pain too, Lost my right leg in 2014, ever since then pains all it's ever been... I'll do you a deal, you stay strong and I'll stay strong! Love ya brother!! We all love ya brother!!! blown away with continual masterpieces, one after another, Mate, seriously, thank you!
When there’s only one person that we can rely to call the world out on it’s bullshit and make absolute bangers and songs that hit the heart and soul, honestly I found ren when I was at my lowest and he made me believe more in myself and that no matter how many times that I get shut down or repressed I will come back stronger, I thank you ren for helping me at the darkest time in my life ❤️
This is my favorite track from Sick Boi. It came out just a few weeks before my husband of 33 years died. Full volume in the car, tears streaming. Pain isn’t just physical
I have to add another comment. I have listened to your music every day for over a month now since stumbling upon it. The beat and cadence of this song is so fucking insane. I just can’t contain myself. Absolute legend in the making man. You’re on a heater and people are listening!! 🍻🇨🇦💥🔥🤯
I love this. I live with Fibromyalgia and Crohns, and when one or both are flaring and i can't leave my bed, your music distracts my brain from the all-consuming pain. I relate to you in ways no one should, but im so glad you're here ❤
So fascinating, we get to see Ren's true lyrics and meanings from this. The work that has been done to make this the way it has, emphasising what needs to be emphasised (SIX AND SEVEN with nothing else distracting), is very clever, and all the references together with the animations make this beautiful. FOR EVERY ONE DAY OF THE WEEK
He actually says "we inherit the meek" instead of "we inherit the mean"?! I had the suspicion he was saying "meek" because it's such a strange word but it was used in "Hi Ren", then I heard the interpretation that he says "mean" and what that means (which was genius) and he actually just said "meek". Crazy.
Just when I was laying down in my bed aka a pile or dirty blanket under a bridge about to listen to my usual drill I discover this artist and ren my boy you definitely made me remember what I'm here for and that life isn't given to us to waist it sleeping my life away. Message received lol thanks for sharing your gift with us.
How the hell are we going to cope with a live Ren gig not being every single track he's ever wriiten. Played twice. And a third time in the encore that never happened. Love everything so far!
As always, love this content. It's totally cool watching you step up and into who you're becoming. Thank you for sharing these windows straight into your soul. Many times, your words speak for folks who hold no voice. Keep going, we're with you for this ride. Wish someday we could converse over coffee. 😊
You know what i acually like on you? Even when there are some parts in you‘re tracks where i personally don‘t like you‘re stand to yourself to express yourself even when some people don’t like it and for that i really respect you and both can be there and only for yourself if have to be loved what you doing
All I can say is holy moly! This has been my favorite song since the album came out, and this lyric video clarifies a few words I wasn't catching. Holy wow your writing is spectacular man! Great job and thank you for what you do for this planet!
I really like the sound of this song. As someone with chronic pain and mental illnesses I can relate to this in some ways. Especially the part with the bed that doesn't give rest 😢 thank you for your music Ren! ❤
This lyric video was absolutely perfect for this song! The colors and imagery complimented it so well. Love, love, this track anyway - will be rewatching this one a lot. Much love to ya Ren 💙💙💙
This is ridiculously SO GOOD.... I introduced my mother to your music and she loves it just as much as I do, we listen to it on repeat in the car. Her favorite song is Loco :) I love this!!! Keep going Ren, I absolutely love your art. It just feels so superior in effort, quality and passion.
@@user-xo4og6bs6qthat's not what they said tho, they said Rens line "fear of the unknown preserves a religion" So because we don't know and all we have is faith that some type of God exists, it preserves all religions through the fear of "what if?"
Best way to characterize the human penchant for it. Because it's about control. Even if we're not in control, the assumption that some higher being is gives us comfort. Makes perfect sense when in our multi-thousand year history, the unknown often killed us. It's why I like science so much, because instead of thinking some other being, magic, multi-dimensional, alien or anything else has it all in the bag, it actually wants to know what in fact is going on. It seeks the unknown to know it, to better survive and thrive. It's the path of taking responsibility for existence instead of passing it on to a placeholder with no definition or parameters to be conclusive, which allows all gods to exist in a limbo of speculation to allude to some weird form of hope that things, even when they suck are actually planned. Heck, most brains think that even intentional evil done with purpose is better than pure chaos with no aim causing misery. Religion makes a lot of sense when you don't have information otherwise and are kept very fearful. Speaking as an ex-religious person, it's been fascinating to see my past thought trains and current ones in others regarding it.
Every song of yours, Ren, feels like a whole course of therapy for me. I've felt so much better since I found you, and now my wish is that you feel great. Stay safe and take care, Ren, and thanks for all you've done for us.
I can relate having cronic illness I've been suffering with Mariner's Disease most of my life . Its slowly taken away my freedom . Though I look perfectly normal . For the last 15 year's my world only goes as far as I can walk . Haven't even sat in a vehicle of any kind since then . Im gettng older and its now progressing into stage that Im loosig my balance and keep falling & injuring myself . Ive maneged my isolatin that comes with it better than most . Like REN Ive focased on my art and the things im able too do & ignoring what I can't to survive my negative thoughts. Im just killing time waiting for a cure. I so appreciate REN shareing his stuggle He's been trully inspiring too me . Having a invisible handycap having to explane to people gets real old fast . Ive even stoped dating for the fact who wants to be with someone who can't do anything ? Even if they did Id never want too stop someone from living a normal life & It would be a constant reminder of all the things I can't, making my coping skill of ignoring it impossible. So Ive been reaĺly touched RENs story and willingness to share .
Dying from diabetes and gastroparesis 😢 the chronic pain and sickness is constant and too much, the system won't help me! Pretty much pop pills all the time! They won't diagnose my adhd and schizophrenia! What I life in 28 and nearly didn't make it in December but I'm still fighting for my 5 year old! What a life it's been 😢❤ god bless you all suffering with anything in life! I'm so sorry x
So Genius written and the Sound is just awesome produced ❤️ Thanks Ren for giving us just great music and a voice for ill people they have struggle with speaking about their disease.
found your music in the midsts of coming to terms with chronic pain, it takes so much from you so quickly and changes you as a person, this song really put into words what ive been going through these past few years. Ive had treatment for it now and its really helped but going through the treatment meant dealing with even more pain. I hope your treatments go well and help with your pain too
I have been drawn to this song since my first listen but have gone back countless times to try and catch it all. The lyric video really helps. A truly impressive and impactful piece ❤
i love you ren because you speak on a mental state that is within almost all of us, you can vent that feeling out in a way that when heard by others it can be used as an outlet or a way to cope. I envy you for having the courage it takes to put these lyrics out to the world to hear, and thank you for being a warrior for the voiceless. you truly are amazing!!
![Chris Webby - Baggage (feat. Ren) [Official Video]](/img/n.gif)
I'm dealing with chronic pain for some years now, its somehow comforting to know others are struggling and it's not just me. Wish you the best Ren, this is lovely
This is amazing. Both you and stupes are ren fans? 3 of my favorite artists ever. Love all you guys. Generation gaming XXV was great!
lol this is in a way a very sad comment, how you are lifted up by the suffering of others xD
@@Anorectic.Bumblebeehe's not lifted up, just comforting that there are other ppl who can understand how is to live with pain.
@@ekscentar1 that's not what the comment says "it's somehow comforting to know others are struggling" I don't judge it, I guess it's very human, we indeed feel better when others are equally suffering.
@@Anorectic.Bumblebee naw mate...it's a whole different thing than that. Chronic pain and illness can be so isolating. It's hard for people who don't go through it to conceptualize the mental and physical toll. We have so many thoughts, some may lead to feeling so alone in this world. But, when we can find someone who feels the same things we are feeling, it feels less lonely. Humans need to feel understood. It isn't praising the pain, but it's nice and comforting when we can say, "I get it. And it effing sucks."
My favorite song, since I stumbled upon your tracks accidentally, I don't listen to anything else! Thanks, Ren. Greetings from Poland.
Ren, your ability to express our situation so vividly brings me to my feet. I hope it helps people better understand those of us who are ill.
REN I was shot by my stepfather in 2016 leaving me paralyzed from waste down I was 26 lost in pain and drug addiction I finally woke up around 30 I'm 34 now I'm song writer from southern USA you have given me the push I needed turn my pain into positive changes for others! thank you sir
Glad you are here 🖤✨️

This is the only way to describe the talent XD. Leaving everyone speechless. Damn
🎉❤
Incredible. This one might be a new favourite from you. Powerful, potent stuff and so well produced. Will be looping this for a good while.
Ren has been one of my favorite singers for several years now (since around the time jenny's tale was released) and it amazes me how he still gets better and better every album without fail. funnily enough i started listening to your music and Ren's around the same time actually :D
Wait WHAT I didn't know Stupendium watched Ren! This is awesome And by the I love your works have a good day :D
Edit: how does this have like 48 likes ._.
Hey Stupendium! Awesome to see you here! =O
YOOOO STUPES!! You and Dan have been my favorite nerdcore artists ever since i was a kid. So glad to see you enjoy ren as much as I do. Honestly really proud of ren for being recognised and of you for growing so much
WHAT NO WAY
the intro is like an epitaph on a tomb stone, "Illness is my teacher. My smile broke. My bones feel old. Here lies Ren's body."
Very close. Well done for trying
Illness is my teacher
It broke my smile
My bones feel old
Here lies the body of Ren 🏴
@@craigbullard8163 still that was pretty close. Closer than i had expected considering how shit i am at Welsh
@@TheHellhound01 you basically got it right lol
Thanks for the translation! I came to the comments just for that :)
@ItsMissShuuu glad i could help!!!
Our daughter has Lyme disease....your songs expressed the pain and suffering she has not been able to verbalize. Thank you Ren. You have no idea how much your music has helped. Thank you.

I hope your daughter recovers swiftly❤. I couldn't imagine watching my kids go through this kind of pain.
@@colinhitchon621 thank you for your kind words.
I’m a 67-year-old U.S. poet and progressive activist who has dealt with Lyme disease for over a decade, now mostly (not completely) recovered. I’m also a fan of Ren, esp Hi Ren. In case it might be helpful for anyone struggling with Lyme disease, or trying to figure out whether they have Lyme disease or not, I have just done a video discussion (plus a poem) with Jerry Simons, an integrative health practitioner in New York with as much expertise in treating Lyme disease as anyone in the country. Jerry writes a monthly column for Lyme Times and is skilled in using both Western and holistic medicine for treating Lyme disease. There are no sales pitches here, just what we hope is a helpful discussion. The newly posted UA-cam video of our discussion is at: ua-cam.com/video/F75vKVykST4/v-deo.html
Prayers for your daughter. Such a blessing to have someone speak up about this.
for yall wondering, here's what the lyrics say in the first part (they're in welsh)
salwch yw fy athrawen - sickness is my teacher
fe dorrodd fy ngwên - my smile broke
mae fy esgyrn teimlo'n hen - my bones feel old
yma yw gorwedd corff ren - here lies the body of Ren
I honestly thought it was some made up demonic language, I don't know if that says more about me or about Welsh
Thank you 🫶
Thank you SO much!! I was wondering...
Thank you
Thanks! I love that language lol. It’s so unique and classic sounding. It’s probably my favorite part of the song actually.
It amazes me how with every song, depending upon the current mood, hits in so many different ways. The first time I saw the title of this song I knew it was significant for me…today after repeatedly listening with much pleasure, it touches me in such a deeper more empathetic way…I am trying to design a shirt with all of the specific lyrics that I connect with but I may have to do multiples. In all of the ways this music and this artist reaches each individual at pivotal moments in their lives leaves nothing more to explain about his prodigal existence. I can never again selfishly feel let down or lost in the chaos when I know Ren is my gift, our gift to the egoistic mind that can’t seem to remember that we are all one. It’s only a matter of time before the ego becomes a memory & Ren is one of the strongest that can take us there. So much love for us❤
🏴🏴🏴 So proud of you highlighting the Welsh language. You're the man Ren, keep flying the flag. Arbenning! Da iawn ti, dal ati ❤
Can you translate for me please 🙏
@ghadders1629 Sickness is my teacher. He broke my smile. My bones are feeling old. Here lies the body of Ren.
@adamwilliams8177 👊 thank you
@rens Welsh?
@@Prideztherapper Yes, he's from Bangor. Moved to Brighton.
As a person who is chronically ill, bed bound 90% of the time and often has pain flares that bring me to my knees, this song is what runs through my head, over and over. Thank you for this gift Ren, I'm so sorry that you know what it is to experience this type of suffering, I am grateful you've made it into something people like me can hold onto
*huuuuuuuug* solidarity❤️🩹
Im just glad to help take care of some sould. The journey is always worthwhile even if you arent around to remenber it 😊
This is just sick I have literally had it on repeat since I heard it first 14 hours ago it really hits ya so fxkin real raw honest open thank you for this
Ren, your music is incredible. I love music, all types, but what you write has hit something deep in my core that nothing has touched in the same way. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in my late 20s. My symptoms are very similar to those experienced by people with Lyme Disease (both illnesses are often misdiagnosed as the other), and when I heard the words of my diagnosis, my world went dark. And just recently, Ive learned I may have been fighting undiagnosed ADHD too, to add to the cognitive mess. Your music has helped me crawl out of the blackness. I've been fighting for 7 years now, and what you write has helped me see that there is hope, that I can survive and thrive. Don't stop, you are a beacon of light for so many of us chronically ill. Thank you for your music, and for sharing ypur gift with the world!
I know this masterpiece is talking about chronic pain but as something with pretty bad depression I also relate. I love how Ren’s lyrics are versatile .
Mental pain is still pain. Me too. And I know Ren can relate to mental anguish as much as physical.
Same
Ren also suffers from Psychosis from brain damage.
Ren has such a strong hold on me that I get as excited as a little kid at a funfair. 😍Made my day
Frr
Me too!! And I am an old hippie lady!!!! ❤❤❤❤
he just magically use his voice to speak from our heart... its just amazing. :)
Ren has captivated us all regardless of age ❤ I'm old enough to be his mama, but will be a stand in.
Whenever you need a hug REN , and are visiting the states
I'm sure there is a group of us ready to help 😉❤
@@jeanwonnacott2718❤😂😂 yep me 😂😂😂 and me I'm a Tree hugging crazy women well Ren is a chippie so he says.. 😅 Spread the love ❤✌️
My absolute favorite track off the album! Thanks Ren can’t freaking wait…you’re a gift that just keeps on giving! Love ya to pieces little buddy💛🎶✌️🎸🤩
Excellent!!!!!! Thank you, Ren. That you turned your agony into this Song is truly miraculous. I so hope your treatments in Canada will keep you from feeling this level of pain again. 💜
I'm 72 years old and I have Chronic Lyme. I've been sick and in pain for 35 years. I fell in love with your music immediately when I first heard it. I think this one is my favourite. Thank you so much for your amazing work. I hope there will be a cure for us some day.
gentle hugs from Florida ((hug))
Thank you. I have 15 genetic and autoimmune diseases/disorders. It's a life I would not wish on my enemies. Always sick. Always tire. Feeling like you are alone in everything. Your songs are beautiful and speak truth
The feeling of being alone in it, is an extremely powerful feeling. I wonder how to change this feeling, transform it, could connecting with others who have health issues that lead to the feeling of aloneness.
I feel , at times so deeply in my aloneness that my psyche feels attacked. Dante’s hell feels as if it has swept me up swirling around and spinning me. Or I swingg… and I feel as if I am Waiting for Godot. Neither good doors and a human saying it’s tough im in some new type of hell or purgatory can be experienced as a ‘we are visible to some’
we are alone while within a social media platform, for a moment we can hear another’s pain, isolation. Xxx
@@tesskennedy49593:56
You are not alone! We are here with you. Healing thoughts!
@juliebennett8659
I'm right there with you. I am the only human being in the medical records, alive or dead, with my mixture of fucked up issues. That knowledge of loneliness in knowing for a *fact* that I am the only person to experience the hell I'm in is... it makes me feel like I'm drowning sometimes. But. I have kept going. Frankly, it is purely out of spite. I REFUSE to confirm all the beliefs of the people who told me I would fail or die before reaching adulthood. You'll make it. Your suffering is real, and I see you.
@Preseptic I'm so sorry you too know what it's like. I'm glad you have the outlook you do! I'm yhe same way. I I'm walking even though I was told I'd be in a wheelchair. I've beat my first live expectancy. My new one is 35-40 but I'm doing everything I can to extend that. I wish you all the best and I hope you have more good days then bad
There were decades in my life where I truly believed that if God was merciful, He would take me home. I began healing at 40, was healed at 52. Now 66, I am grateful for my life, feel blessed well beyond what I deserve and take every day as the gift that it is. I merely endured, then healed. All the best to you young man. You are a gift to us all.
❤️🙏🏼❤️
I absolutely love that i see so many people from the older generation enjoying Ren's music. It makes me so much happier as a 33 year old
This goes hard
Listening to this all year tbh, had me hooked so hard in the beginning and kept drawing me further on
Loving this
Shoutout chronic pain nation, we stand strongest when supporting eachother
My god. Why is this astonishing man not world famous? How have I missed this all this time?
He will be. Mark my words. I have sought out and predicted artist who will make it for the past 20 years and I've not been wrong yet 🤞. This guy deserves it.
@sgilmour47 I definitely hope this won't be an exception for you then. He definitely deserves it and I'd absolutely LOVE to see an independent artist make it big WITHOUT needing some Big Label to do it (imo the big labels **always** end up tainting their artists at some point down the line sooner or later).
Rooting for Ren!
Holy shit. This isn't just art, this one song is an entire language. Just amazing.
There are a total of 7 change of music and the tone/the style of music (the beat) then the start of the seven sin, each of the change also connect to the seven sin

I didn't know I needed this song right now. The anger of the strings. Thank you for this song.
My favorite song! Thank you Ren, you are amazing brother! NO song is similar and ALL are bangers... Incredible!
Absolutely awesome lyric video. Love the colors in the standard "sick boi" attire. Red and black is such a sick combo.
Song goes as hard as ever and with visuals even harder.
Thank you Ren and thanks to lyricvids for this video!
Yea, it's crazy how he invented the use of Red and Black! Omg, so fire! Who woulda ever thought about putting those two colors together!!! Everything he does is so genius!
@@jaNartemisinthewoods You're seriously hating on this masterpiece?
@@jaNartemisinthewoods Butthurt much?
@@Hexenkind1 😆 no, not at all...just love trolling a Simp when I can 😘🤣
@@jaNartemisinthewoods Well, now that we all had a very good laugh I wish you a beautiful day. :D
Its so mesmerizing...
I always envy a good name pun.
I quite like "For Ren's Sick = Forensic"
Honestly Ren has some really good wordplay in his songs, for example "dine at the table of the coroner" sounds a lot like "dyin at the table of the coroner", probably intentional but maybe not idk
@nicesquid102 Oh yeah ik I love his wordplay. I'm just salty I don't have a very pun-able name
@@fieryfirefly5769what's your name
i feel there are some many word plays we all miss.. . for example "Bones we're a home" i hear "Bones of Rahome" like who is Rahome?? maybe we just all see and hear want we wanna, but yeah i could totally see this except, on the coroners table we are already dead unless ..... nevermind that's to dark .... nice catch though!@@nicesquid102
Wouldn't be surprised if Ren is a member of Mensa and has a Ph.D. Bro is a 👑 amongst an infinity of fools
I have been a fan of his since jump, am also a chronic pain stoic.
I'm dealing with Endometriosis for so many years. It's a different disease than yours but man almost everything from your story is similar to mine. The suffer of extreme fatigue, pain, being so much restricted from life, simple things...and so on. Your music is so empowering. Plus it sounds always like a masterpiece! Thank you so much for helping us! All the best for you Ren! ♥
I suffered with endometriosis for decades. Indescribable pain when all I could do was curl up in the fetal position and sob. The day I had my hysterectomy was one of the greatest days of my life. I was finally FREE!! My wish for you is that you somehow get the relief you deserve.
@@sharoncasanta6840 OMG thank you so much! I'm happy to hear that you are free from your suffer. All the best for you!
OMG Endo sister!!!❤❤❤
It's such a horrible disease 😢 and it's beyond me how is possible that it touches so many women and yet is do difficult to diagnose (well, not difficult per se, it can be done in 30 minutes, but medical professionals just KNOW SH**T about diagnostic of it and they still have the audacity to tell you you are ok instead of just telling "sorry I'm not the best at doing ultrasounds for Endo, go see someone else")
And so little research and only "treatment " (not really) are hormones that fuck up with our lives...
It's just so beyond me how we are completely abandoned in this society.
We only started to talk about this illness more in the last 2/3 years. When someone tells me I live in an equal rights world I just want to scream...
Sorry for the rant😢
I've been in so much pain the last few days I didn't sleep much and I'm easily angry 😅
Yesterday I saw an article of a doctor saying that ou fatigue compares to that of a cancer patients after chemo... I would like the world to know that. I felt validated reading that being unable to get up from my bed.
More of the time people think Endo is only painful period for 4/5 days a month, so why I'm so dramatic and why I don't work?
Anyway... Hugs for you sisters!
@@shoszannahSending hugs! ❤I feel you and you're so right! We're not alone. I hope that at least now something is happening in the science of endometriosis so that we can finally get some help. This has been swept under the carpet for too long.
Always stoked for your stuff. Looking forward to your use of colour in this one.
It's like there are twelve songs being expressed one at a time. Ren always finds a way to steal my breath with his savage poetry. Another banger, boy. Anyone that can turn degression and pain into creativity and love is winning the game. Keep it up.
I agree w/you from the very first line! Great way to explain this song along w/his others! Seriously, though, that last statement (before "keep it up") is crazy deep and powerful - For real, thanks for posting that. It's certainly true for Ren and for personal reasons, makes me feel better about my sh!t... Again, thank you :)
Seriously everyone this is not a sob story. But I've just been diagnosed with stage four terminal cancer, and I'm in shit loads of pain, and at the same time, I found Ren and his music. Every day, i listen to Ren, and the messages in his lyrics help me understand the pain I'm in and what it was all about. He makes me feel stronger for1.
You are a legend Ren
You’re a legend too💪🏽💪🏽
🫂🫶🏻🫂
Yo bro u still with us ? I hope so bro stay strong 💪
@user-ye5cm8to7s yo bro ...
Yeah I'm still with you guys, and I'm not planning on leaving just yet.
I'm making loads of fun memories and having probably some of the best times of my life with the absolute love of my life.
Been travelling to california, and south africa.
Just seen kings of leon at hyde park in London at this moment in time I'm not letting anything take away my smile 😀.
Love and happiness to everyone and stay strong 💪. Xx
Found Ren on a reactor’s channel last week with ‘Hi Ren’, and it shook me. Might actually have renewed my spirituality and belief in a higher power. Never thought it could get better. I loved ‘Hi Ren’, but it can’t be one I listen to over and over because I cry too much. This one is going on the playlist. The combination of lyrics, music, innovation and creativity; dissonance in the most beautiful way, humanity…. this brings so much to the table.
Such a fantastic song! The lyric vids are so well done. Really highlights the lyrical imagery you paint in this track. Starting the album in Welsh was a nice touch. 🏴 Excited for what you have planned for 2024!! ❤
Missed a trick not getting a male voice choir 😅
@@LG-MusiqueNar Ren's a choir all by himself & he gives just the right feeling imo 🤔🥰💯
Hope everyone realizes how rare it is to get to experience such brilliance. Thank you Ren for sharing your masterful talent with all of us. I trully think you're a musical savant like no other out there. The once in lifetime type. Your music has been life changing. Looking forward to seeing what's next as your health improves. Love you Ren!
Right man and he has such an extreme talent in what is true pure magic The only real magic that I think I've ever experienced and probably ever exists the same magic that God used to speak/sing the entire universe into existence The same magic that the angels sang forth in astonishment at such a thing what a potent and amazing talent
I feel like taking this to my next doctors appointment. Ren says it so well. Anyone living with chronic pain must resonate with this tune. Ren you are awsome man,
Not a bad idea!
Amazing song. It’s strange, I keep coming back to songs I heard from you only once or twice and they are fast becoming my favorites. I really enjoy this one and Down on the Beat (wife goes crazy for that one). You are the champ sir. Props.
HOLY SHIT REN?!?! This is perfection at its finest. unnatural skill mixed with unbelievable intelligence, coupled with good looks. Jesus man, if you weren't sick you're ego you would probably be in containable. You ARE the most talented musician I've seen/heard in my 42 years of life!. Mad love and support from Spring Hill, FL 🙏🏼🙌🏼💚
Another beautiful masterpiece!!!! Thank you Ren🎨❤
Sick boi album was so fire and finding Ren and learning about his journey has been so inspiring/motivating to me. So much so I had to go get the “sick boi” font tattooed on my leg. Ty Ren so much for sharing your heart and art with us, it has helped me so much this past year, you are truly a legend ❤️
Ren, everything about your art is mesmerising. Everything you do feels like it's always done perfectly. You are an exceptional person for sure. There is something about you that is so unique yet so familiar to one's heart. It feels like we have waited for you for ages and here you are. The world had no idea it needed you so much
❤✌️👍
👍🏽🐷✌🏼
I'm 55 and have been battling chronic pain since 2000 and I find some comfort knowing that I'm not the only one. Ren Thank you, your music has touched me deeply, I love all of your music you are such an artist. Keep the music coming my brother love you wish you nothing but success in everything you do.
I think I might be the "Jenny" to your "Screech!" (Just don't reach for the sheath with the blade with the teeth...)
I'm also 55 and started my journey with pain in 2004. There are so many of "us" here! For good reason, of course.
Nice to meet you! Hope you're having a good day?
In "Hi Ren" you say "Cause I'm fine by myself, I'ma genius
And I will be great, and I will make waves
And I'll shake up the whole world beneath us." I think you must be a prophet as well, because you are definitely doing that. "Hi Ren" alone was musical genius, thought provoking, reaching so many people on so many levels. Most artists never reach that level of self awareness/empathy to touch the world. But you continue to put out music that reaches to the soul of who we are as human beings. You truly are a genius. ❤
No one writes music like you. No one. Every single song I've heard hits like a punch to the gut.
Yes. Absolutely. Phenomenal.
Ren is uplifting an army of the sick and despairing.
Showing us we aren't alone and forgotten.
Pre-zombies! 😅
Quetiapine pregabalin diazepam mirtazapine espranor zombie here. I love him... power, genesis, chalk outlines, diazepam etc. He definitely relates to us... n us him . I used to take drugs to deal with EUPD, now I put REN on... when hes arguing with himself in hi ren n hes says my music is doing bit, it connects, it's the voice that you hear as you loosen the noose..... it's like he knows my life lol..
FU*K YES!!! Good morning Ren by the way! I'll be here watching! I'm over on your patreon now as well! So excited for everything!!❤ Thank you!!
A friend recommended this song to me. I finally had a moment to listen.
I’m sitting here stuck doing another infusion and this fucking hit me hard. I won’t lie I teared up.
So now I’m required to listen to every piece of music this gentleman has done.
Uh first song of Ren? Enjoy the ride of your life. And get well/better soon!!!
As a person dealing with pain each and every day and doctors have given up on me other than willing to cut nerves in my neck!!! I wanted to find an artist who could express this type of life and boy did I find it in Ren. Incredible lyrics, melody and beat. Truly amazing Ren. Keep going my Welsh friend
I am enthralled with this song . The way you managed to make others understand how corruptive true pain can really feel with music and words is not something i could not have imagined . Be well Ren . This lyric video was fire ,
This song deserve more than a lyric video (amazing as they are), the song it's perfect
I agree but for now this will do. "Loco" and "sick boi 2" are out there naked with no lyric video to cover them. Reactors will flock to it like a brand new song with a lyric video. So strange but that seems to be the way.
Watch the Mark Lalonde Visualizer 😎
@@davemcc9642 I agree that's an absolutely stunning video to this amazing track
@@davemcc9642i dunno if Rens fine with it but even tho the visuals are pretty AI images/videos it is still stealing someone's art ,Ren's full song ,not a remix or a retake or even a reaction ,him and more & more that are doing it & then putting it on their own channels therefore competing with Ren's videos ,it is an illegal copyright violation & I think it's wrong & I don't know why youtube is letting them get away with it 🤔
Looking through the comments says it all.
I don't need to tell my story.
Rens music sings it 4 me/us .
Spine tingling ,goosebumps everytime.
I get so pumped.I don't know how I have yet another Ren favourite.
Seven sins hits it ✍️
Man this song is so incredible on so many levels. The way it makes me feel with just the music direction alone. Even without knowing welsh coming into this song you can tell this is a eulogy, It sets the melancholic vibe so perfectly, to then start the sort of plucky music at the start that perfectly encapsulates the feeling that we're about to be taken on a journey through the experience of the person we're meant to mourn in the first section. The strings tell us this story is tragic, but the heavy base(?) like sounds also convey a certain defiance. It's really brilliant. Then ren is there to narrate his pain with the most articulate and tragic poetry I've ever heard. The fact that it's the first track really solidifies that feeling that this is the beginning of the narration. I wish i could speak fluently in technical music jargon so i could better articulate just how much this song makes me feel and appreciate how talented Ren is as an artist.
I live with chronic pain and this song is healing and real. Thank you Ren. I hope you always find strength to deal with your pain and good friends around your when you don’t feel like you can. ❤️
Ren brother, I feel the pain too, Lost my right leg in 2014, ever since then pains all it's ever been... I'll do you a deal, you stay strong and I'll stay strong! Love ya brother!! We all love ya brother!!! blown away with continual masterpieces, one after another, Mate, seriously, thank you!
Bro get a mirror box .work wonders retrain your brain .no more phantom pain .
You are THE artist for our time! Thank you, for another masterpiece, Ren!
When there’s only one person that we can rely to call the world out on it’s bullshit and make absolute bangers and songs that hit the heart and soul, honestly I found ren when I was at my lowest and he made me believe more in myself and that no matter how many times that I get shut down or repressed I will come back stronger, I thank you ren for helping me at the darkest time in my life ❤️
Wow for someone who has suffered years of pain this is unbelievably powerful. Love to you, you are so talented lyrics amazing!
Awesome! Been waiting for this, Favourite track on the album
Bro I don't know how you do it. With every rhyme the bar gets higher. This is the sound of greatness.
Appreciate the welsh language bro, this track is wicked you never disappoint, Cymru am byth !🏴
I was wondering what language. Can you translate it? I have Welsh ancestry. ty. xx
@@hollylewis5302 I can speak both English and welsh fluently, it’s an amazing language and so underrated

I’ve had bipolar since 2013 and I’ve never found anyone who gets it like Ren to find someone who can put it into words so wonderfully well xxx
Freaken amazing!!! Absolutely loved it!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥 perfect visuals for the music!!
This is my favorite track from Sick Boi. It came out just a few weeks before my husband of 33 years died. Full volume in the car, tears streaming. Pain isn’t just physical
I have to add another comment. I have listened to your music every day for over a month now since stumbling upon it. The beat and cadence of this song is so fucking insane. I just can’t contain myself. Absolute legend in the making man. You’re on a heater and people are listening!! 🍻🇨🇦💥🔥🤯
Yaaaa we are! We love this guy so much my daily playlist often 6 am im like alexa play Ren mix shes like again what about your other playlists😆💖🇨🇦💯👑
I love this. I live with Fibromyalgia and Crohns, and when one or both are flaring and i can't leave my bed, your music distracts my brain from the all-consuming pain. I relate to you in ways no one should, but im so glad you're here ❤
Womp womp😂
Every time i try to comment. I come up empty. This song speaks for itself.
Experiencing breathtaking pain numerous time a day right now and this song speaks to me. Cannot imagine enduring it another week let alone years.
So fascinating, we get to see Ren's true lyrics and meanings from this.
The work that has been done to make this the way it has, emphasising what needs to be emphasised (SIX AND SEVEN with nothing else distracting), is very clever, and all the references together with the animations make this beautiful.
FOR EVERY ONE DAY OF THE WEEK
He actually says "we inherit the meek" instead of "we inherit the mean"?! I had the suspicion he was saying "meek" because it's such a strange word but it was used in "Hi Ren", then I heard the interpretation that he says "mean" and what that means (which was genius) and he actually just said "meek". Crazy.
Excellent editing, a real treat for the eyes, the night is gray and I just need this red, golden cut in your videos..love you man. ❤
Like all Ren songs, it gets better and better the more you listen. And then you start to appreciate the visuals. This is art! X
Just when I was laying down in my bed aka a pile or dirty blanket under a bridge about to listen to my usual drill I discover this artist and ren my boy you definitely made me remember what I'm here for and that life isn't given to us to waist it sleeping my life away. Message received lol thanks for sharing your gift with us.
How the hell are we going to cope with a live Ren gig not being every single track he's ever wriiten. Played twice. And a third time in the encore that never happened.
Love everything so far!
As always, love this content.
It's totally cool watching you step up and into who you're becoming. Thank you for sharing these windows straight into your soul. Many times, your words speak for folks who hold no voice. Keep going, we're with you for this ride.
Wish someday we could converse over coffee. 😊
Does this lad make any mediocre tunes... I think not, everyone is an absolute banger.... outstanding talent
There's definitely a couple that ain't my style . But yeah they are all amazingly well worded.
You know what i acually like on you? Even when there are some parts in you‘re tracks where i personally don‘t like you‘re stand to yourself to express yourself even when some people don’t like it and for that i really respect you and both can be there and only for yourself if have to be loved what you doing
Brother this is truely something, thankful for you
REN is a musician through and through.
All I can say is holy moly! This has been my favorite song since the album came out, and this lyric video clarifies a few words I wasn't catching. Holy wow your writing is spectacular man! Great job and thank you for what you do for this planet!
What a glorious work of art...both the song and the lyric video.
I really like the sound of this song. As someone with chronic pain and mental illnesses I can relate to this in some ways. Especially the part with the bed that doesn't give rest 😢 thank you for your music Ren! ❤
This lyric video was absolutely perfect for this song! The colors and imagery complimented it so well. Love, love, this track anyway - will be rewatching this one a lot. Much love to ya Ren
💙💙💙
This is ridiculously SO GOOD.... I introduced my mother to your music and she loves it just as much as I do, we listen to it on repeat in the car. Her favorite song is Loco :) I love this!!! Keep going Ren, I absolutely love your art. It just feels so superior in effort, quality and passion.
"Fear of the unknown preserves a religion"
It's scary because it's true
really we have fear of religion? you're not from uk ... just saying
@@user-xo4og6bs6qthat's not what they said tho, they said Rens line "fear of the unknown preserves a religion"

Great song 💯
Best way to characterize the human penchant for it.
Because it's about control. Even if we're not in control, the assumption that some higher being is gives us comfort. Makes perfect sense when in our multi-thousand year history, the unknown often killed us.
It's why I like science so much, because instead of thinking some other being, magic, multi-dimensional, alien or anything else has it all in the bag, it actually wants to know what in fact is going on. It seeks the unknown to know it, to better survive and thrive. It's the path of taking responsibility for existence instead of passing it on to a placeholder with no definition or parameters to be conclusive, which allows all gods to exist in a limbo of speculation to allude to some weird form of hope that things, even when they suck are actually planned. Heck, most brains think that even intentional evil done with purpose is better than pure chaos with no aim causing misery.
Religion makes a lot of sense when you don't have information otherwise and are kept very fearful. Speaking as an ex-religious person, it's been fascinating to see my past thought trains and current ones in others regarding it.
Every song of yours, Ren, feels like a whole course of therapy for me. I've felt so much better since I found you, and now my wish is that you feel great. Stay safe and take care, Ren, and thanks for all you've done for us.
💯 😍🤩
I can relate having cronic illness I've been suffering with Mariner's Disease most of my life . Its slowly taken away my freedom . Though I look perfectly normal . For the last 15 year's my world only goes as far as I can walk . Haven't even sat in a vehicle of any kind since then . Im gettng older and its now progressing into stage that Im loosig my balance and keep falling & injuring myself . Ive maneged my isolatin that comes with it better than most . Like REN Ive focased on my art and the things im able too do & ignoring what I can't to survive my negative thoughts. Im just killing time waiting for a cure. I so appreciate REN shareing his stuggle He's been trully inspiring too me . Having a invisible handycap having to explane to people gets real old fast . Ive even stoped dating for the fact who wants to be with someone who can't do anything ? Even if they did Id never want too stop someone from living a normal life & It would be a constant reminder of all the things I can't, making my coping skill of ignoring it impossible. So Ive been reaĺly touched RENs story and willingness to share .
Absolutely love this song on the album. I am so thankful for your music Ren and all it has brought to my life!
Dying from diabetes and gastroparesis 😢 the chronic pain and sickness is constant and too much, the system won't help me! Pretty much pop pills all the time! They won't diagnose my adhd and schizophrenia! What I life in 28 and nearly didn't make it in December but I'm still fighting for my 5 year old! What a life it's been 😢❤ god bless you all suffering with anything in life! I'm so sorry x
technically adhd doesn’t actually exist its just a bunch of pent up child hood trauma
Sending you love ❤️
Hugs full of love for you. I'm so sorry.
I pray for! I hope you're doing okay today.
Suck it up
Ren, you’re insanely talented! You’re music touches people on so many different levels. I’m so glad I found your music.
My goodness. This is incredible. I can't find the words to explain how this song makes me feel. Love it.
So Genius written and the Sound is just awesome produced ❤️ Thanks Ren for giving us just great music and a voice for ill people they have struggle with speaking about their disease.
I love how engaging these lyric videos are. Well done, this is one of my favorite tracks of the album!
found your music in the midsts of coming to terms with chronic pain, it takes so much from you so quickly and changes you as a person, this song really put into words what ive been going through these past few years. Ive had treatment for it now and its really helped but going through the treatment meant dealing with even more pain. I hope your treatments go well and help with your pain too
I have been drawn to this song since my first listen but have gone back countless times to try and catch it all. The lyric video really helps. A truly impressive and impactful piece ❤
i love you ren because you speak on a mental state that is within almost all of us, you can vent that feeling out in a way that when heard by others it can be used as an outlet or a way to cope. I envy you for having the courage it takes to put these lyrics out to the world to hear, and thank you for being a warrior for the voiceless. you truly are amazing!!
Ren, your music makes me feel things I've never felt before in my life. You are an absolute genius. Thank you for existing ❤
Banger after banger Ren. Wish I could see you on tour!
You are the best entire world my bro .Your voice, your, composition of music just wOw.
100000000% ❤🎉
