Thank you for doing this!❤ Bibi did end up leaving him for her own mental health. She was there long enough to help him in his first gofundme to find a diagnoses. He never gave any details, but she did help him through this most difficult time. He was literally losing his mind. In and out of emergency rooms. Very thin, very sick. But she left him standing. I believe she came back to do this video. It's all about his fear of losing her and being unlovable when he was that sick.
This was end 2015 when Ren was at his illest/lowest point. He was terrified of losing his mind (which he thought he was at the time). This was before he finally got the correct diagnosis of Lyme Disease (in 2016). It is a tough watch - to see someone go through so much pain. But also quite incredible that someone, anyone, could produce such a beautiful piece of art, when they were struggling with such a debilitating illness. The woman was Bibi, his gf at the time. He didn't want to drive her away with his madness. I'm not entirely sure what the ending of the video means. Was it an artistic expression of his madness/delusion at the time ? Was it an expression that, no matter how much you may need a crutch/love from another person, the only thing that will make you survive is you yourself ? I don't know. I am happy not to know the exact meaning and appreciate the overall art for what it is.
This is one of my absolute favorites from Ren. I think the beginning is the romantic idea of supporting someone through a mental health crisis and then the heavy bit is the reality. Bibi was actually is girlfriend and he was really ill at this point.
This is what Ren wrote about this ... This was shot with no budget at the end of a frickin ' freezing October, felt like I was going to get hypothermia lying on cold slate for a few hours, serious case of mind over matter but so happy with how it turned out :) The song came about after a nervous breakdown following lots of visits to emergency room after some scary health problems. It's a song for anybody who has faced any kind of mental challenges, depression, anxiety, or health struggles while in a relationship and all the fears that come along for the ride with that. It is also a song for the courageous and wonderful people who support their other halves, family or friends during times of crisis :) In whatever context I hope my music can help take some of the weight from anyone suffering and help people feel less alone.
Bro, if you don't know what this message of the song is from the lyrics and imagery, no worries, don't stress or guess, just read what Ren wrote in the description area on the video itself. ✌
One of my absolute favourite Ren songs. It is a perfect depiction of agony and fair in voice, lyrics, music, and even the video. And never has distorted guitar sounded so emotional. A masterpiece. Raw and heart wrenching.
Ren isn’t a rapper he’s an all round musician and artist that covers all forms of music from rap to Rolling Stones (who ironically he’s just beat in the pre sale chart) to EDM to busking, all sorts. There’s a lot you should check out, I think I added a list to a different video but il add it here too Ren song list Here’s a list to get you going (I know you’ve seen a few) 🖤 Rap type The hunger Illest of our time Power Losing it Genesis (also the acoustic one) Sick boi Animal flow (also the acoustic) What you want (beastie boys homage) Bardcore The tale of Jenny and screech (full) Hi Ren MoneyGame part 1 MoneyGame part 2 Singing ones Chalk outlines (live) How to be me (live) Humble Ocean Fire Funny 1990s (watch the video one) Love music Love music part 2 Love music part 3 Love music part 4 Down on the beat Dear God Depression Insomnia Ren&Sam Tompkins- what went wrong 1&2 Loads of busking ones with his band The Big Push, ones with Sam Tompkins and Chinchilla.

Other than what Ren said, i have no idea what the end meant. Your comment section helped me understand it more. The song and video are absolute works of art. Thanks for another great reaction. I was laughing at you trying to pronounce Bibi 😂
Bibi was his girl at that time. 2015 . she raised money to get him help because he truly thought he would die at that time. she got enough money to get him the first treaments an the correct treaments that saved his life. The song is well. when you get sick most people leave you because they will not handle it. I think that is horrible for anyone to do but it happend to me!! SHE PROMISED ME FOREVER AND LOVED ME AS I LOVED HER BUT SHE COULD NOT TAKE ME BEING SICK.
I know Ren said this was his fear... no one would stay... but I first thought she was a delusion. "If I lose my mind would you stay"... could be saying if I get better will you leave? So is he fighting to keep the delusion? Either way she fought to get him on his feet but a crutch is designed to get you up ... eventually you have to find a way to "walk" on your own.
"Crusify your Culture" isnt part of the money game series, but it is another with a political message. You should check it out while we are waiting for money game part 3
Ren raps, but that’s not his main genre. He is more at home singing with his guitar. You’ve seen a lot of rap stuff from Ren lately because he does like to rap and challenged himself to release a rap album. After the “Sick Boi” album release, he’ll be going back to singing. He does everything, including reggae, ska, and rock.
Are you open to doing non-rap songs? Because he has many. He is currently releasing his rap album. But his next one will be song,guitar, piano and more if a timeless mysical album. He has liads if singing stuff. Try Chalk Outlines live with Chinchilla. Very powerful! Alsi had a band The Big Push and that was alk singinf, bot covers and iriginals. Try Wade in the Water/Trouble So Hard/ Nina Simone mash up
Thank you for doing this!❤
