Hi Guys! RENegade here. I fell down the Ren rabbit hole almost two years ago and I'm still obsessed lol. Ren's music has brought so much healing to me and so many others. Many people, especially artists, can suffer from Imposter Syndrome which Ren displays perfectly here. Sick Boi is a great follow up to Hi Ren as it explains his story a little more. This artist is widely diverse, multi-genre (he dabbles in everything), and has a catalog of music since he was a teen. You're about to get a boost to your channel! Sit back and buckle up! It's a helluva ride!

I think you were right in all of your analysis. It is the voice inside. It’s the doubt, the fear. It’s all those things we face. But I think people also find that at times in their life that they do have a darkness inside them. Ren has many songs that deal with religion and his questions. He may actually be an agnostic but he certainly includes the spiritual side of things in some of his songs. I’m 74 and the thing I enjoy about Ren is his songs make you think. They’re just not mindless drivel which I think many songs are these days. Sorry for running on so long. I just think he is close to being a genius. He shares his feelings.

There is light and darkness in all of us. This song allows us as humans to embrace both sides instead of fighting. To give ourselves grace when the dark side within us appears. Near the end of the song, he wasn't going purely biblical. He was pointing out the darkness in mankind throughout history. When it comes to Ren, nothing is done by accident. Not his words, his movements in his videos, or the images he films. Everything has a purpose. His songs provide a starting point for conversations that we as a society are unwilling to have. Great reaction and props for being invested in trying to understand the message. Welcome to the RENegade.

I just saw your Hi Ren reaction, and put this journal entry of Ren's as my comment to that reaction. jAN 01, 2023~~~rEN~ Up until I was 9 years old, I would intermittently hear a voice in my head that was not my own. The voice was distinctly different to mine, and always negative. It would self criticize or urge me to do things I knew to be morally wrong. The most peculiar thing about the voice was that it took no effort on my behalf to produce. My own thoughts always felt like there was a process that required effort to bring them to the forefront of my mind, this voice appeared as though it was spoken by another. The sentences felt predetermined like they had already been constructed. I remember very vividly at 9 years old, becoming very frustrated with the voice. I stood in my back yard, internally screaming at the voice to be silent again and again, and it did. In a flash there was silence, to the point where my head felt like an empty room. I wasn't used to the quiet and that voice never returned. It almost felt lonely in my head. When I got older I had intermittent bouts with auditory hallucinations where I would hear perfect symphonies, usually at night when drifting off to sleep. They were so clear that they sounded like they were emanating from a radio in the corner of my room. I knew they weren't there, but for some reason they never came with the feeling of fear. I also recall sitting on a bus at the age of 15, and hearing the sound of a crowded room, with about 100 voices chattering away, I was the only person apart from the driver on the bus. These experiences were always very brief, and few and far between. My last hallucination was during an intense bout of psychosis in 2015, and was my first visual hallucination. I was walking down a pavement after jumping out my mums car in a crossroads in a moment of frustration and distress with my condition. I was trying to run from myself. What appeared to be a homeless man with a dark complexion approached me, and asked me what was wrong. I explained that I had been sick most my life, and I wasn't sure I had the strength to continue. He looked at me, and smiled and told me 'everything is going to be okay in the end Ren.' I had not told him my name. There was something so overpoweringly sincere about this very simple message, which brought with it an overwhelming feeling of inner peace, and in a flash, he vanished. My rational brain always linked these experiences to what the doctors have told me, that there are parts of my brain compromised by the autoimmunity in my body. That the myelin sheaths surrounding the complex electrical system that conduct my thoughts were damaged and compromised, causing these lucid experiences that I knew did not exist inside the physical world. The part of me that edges away from logical and rational thought always attributed these thoughts to some kind of otherworldly intervention, that made my thoughts the battleground of some spiritual tug of war. For a long time I never really acknowledged this part of myself, for with it brought the danger and stigma of sounding like a crazy person. I decided with my latest release, to the best of my ability, to capture and express this chess match of thought. Hi Ren comes out in just over 24 hours. I can't wait for you all to hear it.

Hey, Renegade here, welcome to Ren. Ren likes you to interpret his songs your way. While this song blew him up, it was not his first. have a look at something like "Blind Eyed" (MC sessions version is cool) singing a song with another guy with a brilliant voice without a video. Just watch it and enjoy it, the main message in it is that we all struggle with things, it shows Ren more naturally. As for Hi Ren, I interpreted it as we all have negative thoughts and temptations, don't fight with them, listen to them and weih them up properly, sometimes they speak truth but often they are just slowing you down. You will be recommended loads of songs, all are cool and all are different, just enjoy at your own pace.

I didn't want to sound like I'm trying to set a record, it's just that I've been obsessed by this song for the past few months. I'm not proud of that either. Pretty sure this is not "normal" behavior. But I don't care because this performance (hard to just call it a song by now) had me change so many things in my life in that short period of time. I'm 1 week smoke-free when I've been smoking 5 to 10 joints every day for the past 20 years. It's tough but I now have a way to "embody" the bad feelings, the negativity that comes with withdrawal, and to directly tell it to shut up. Sorry for the selfish talk, I wish everyone the best for the future! Also sorry for the terrible grammar / vocabulary, english is not my first language.

it is always enjoyable seeing people discover Ren for the first time. I enjoyed your reaction. Thank you. Ren leaves his audience to interpret his songs in the light of their own experience, so there is no right or wrong way to understand this. He has said however, that he is agnostic about religion, but likes using religious imagery as a metaphor. When he talks about angels and demons, he is tallking about the positive and negative, or the light and the dark side of human life. And when he references gods, he is talking about power.

Renegade here. I undetstand your confusion. My first rhoughts were "who is this guy?" Think he was born with a mission. He battled with voices even as a child and at nine stood in the backyard and yelled in his head to stop and it did. He got Lyme disease at 19 and was housebound mostly until 26-27 when he got a stem cell treatment and others that brought him back half way. He had his a studio set up in his bedroom and music was his therapy..still is. Self taught on guitar,electric bass piano and drums.. he produces his own beats,directs the videos, mixes and masters the music.He has perevered through chronic mental and physical illness to create the most powerful music. Watch the 8 Chapters and you will get it direct from him.

Ren is Welsh, but lives on the south coast of England. He has a lot of layers, which you will discover as you listen to his songs. For a quick journey through his health stuff, watch Sick Boi, Seven Sins and Troubles. If you're more interested in the religious stuff, take a look at Dear God, Depression/Insomnia, (also Seven Sins), Lost all Faith, Suic*de, (also Troubles). He's an incredible storyteller, singer and multi-instrumentalist.

I forgot you asked about his backstory. Ran suffered from undiagnosed Lyme disease for years. He thought he was crazy really and was on medication for mental illness. They finally correctly diagnosed him and he received treatment in Canada. Stem cell treatment. His song Troubles goes into that.
@Codex7777
@Codex7777 Ай бұрын
He had undiagnosed Lyme's Disease and undiagnosed MCAS. The latter leading to his severe autoimmunity. He didn't think he was 'crazy' but they kept telling him he was and that it was all in his head. After many years of being bedridden, in chronic 24hr pain, which meant he never had any proper sleep and being dosed up to the eyeballs with powerful psychotropic drugs, that he didn't need, he eventually had a full psychotic break and developed fullblown psychosis. A course of antibiotics, a few months later, reduced his physical symptoms and eliminated the psychosis. At that point he realised that it had to be largely down to a pathogen. He saved up for months and sold music online, until he had enough to see a top infectious diseases specialist in Belgium. The specialist confirmed that Ren had Lyme's. His treatment was changed and his health began to improve. A few months later he had an offer of free stem cell treatment, from a doctor in LA. That's when he had his first stem cell implants. He had a second round of stem cell implants a few months later, in Frankfurt, Germany. The correct diagnosis and treatment had already made a big difference and the stem cell implants gave him a further boost. Within months, although still unwell, still in constant pain and still tiring really easily, he started busking again. He met Sam, met and formed the Big Push and played with them for several years. They broke up as Ren's health still wasn't great and he was about to start a new course of experimental treatments in Canada. NOT stem cell treatments. It was meant to last for 3 months but it kept getting extended, until he was eventually there for 18 months. It was while in Canada that he was also diagnosed with MCAS. They reckon that his Lyme's and associated 'stealth' pathogens, have been finally eliminated but he still has MCAS, severe autoimmunity, a host of associated conditions and still has to live with the damage done to his body and brain. He remains in constant, 24hr pain but it's less acute. If you're going to offer up info, try and make sure it's correct. :)

It is not about having multiple personalities because that is a different ball game, it is about the duality of mankind. The good thoughts and the bad thoughts everyone has on a daily basis are here figurally fighting each other...OR in other words the true self is batteling the inner critic who delivers thoughts of self-doubt, of fear, sometimes that inner critic does that agressively, sometimes in a mocking way ..but everyone is experiencing that, the thing is how you are capeable to handle that = for some it is no big deal at all, for others it is a kind of struggle, and some are not capeable to handle that without professional help either because of personal baggage they have to carry from things which happened to them in the past or because of a genetic disfunction or just by being very sick as like Ren was suffering many years of lyme decease...... Ren is a gem of an artist..not all his songs are about himself and his struggle with his health, but many of those are, and many others are just entertaining music tracks just for fun, or do have a moral message..but what stands out is his lyricism and his story telling and his musicality in all of those and all do have meaning..and every track will amaze you and will make you leave speechless and will make you think at the same time. So welcome to the artistic world of Ren.

A lot of commenters have already told you about the main part of Ren's backstory (with the Lyme Disease going undiagnosed for 10 years, doctors treating him with medications for mental illnesses he didn't have, etc), so I'll just add a little bit I didn't see in the other comments: Ren has mentioned in interviews that when he was at his sickest and being treated with all the wrong meds, he was sometimes seeing or hearing what he thought was the devil or other entities, talking to him, tormenting him, etc. At the end of the day, what he was actually battling with was the negative voices in his head, although the meds were likely amping all that up and causing mental problems he didn't have before (not to mention all the damage the untreated Lyme Disease was doing to his brain and body). That's what inspired him to write the negative voice here as the devil. What's genius about this song is that he wrote it in such a way that all kinds of people can relate it to their own specific experiences, whether it's a chronic mental or physical illness they're battling, crippling depression or anxiety, or even just that inner critic that everybody has to some degree (that little voice inside that keeps trying to tell you that you're not good enough or you're wasting your time trying to do the things you want to do). That's why so many people have connected so hard to this song (and to the rest of Ren's music, tbh) and why his fanbase are such rabid supporters of Ren. He made a lot of people feel seen and heard, and, as it turns out, he's actually a really smart, talented, and good guy on top of it all. I'm glad y'all found this song and I hope you decide to continue down the Ren rabbit hole. He's crazy talented, plays tons of instruments, sings, raps, produces, and makes some killer videos. If you're not fans already, I predict you will be pretty quickly. Dude's undeniable.

You’ve gone and done it now. You’re gonna have to go down the Ren rabbit hole. There are so many songs. If you like the storytelling, try Money Game. Parts 1-3. Then perhaps The Tales of Jenny and Screech, full version. He not only raps though. Multi genres.

You two where great , I usually don’t like to watch two people together reacting to a video because its obvious to me that emotions are being held back - but you two did great, it felt very “ true “ - and it was refreshing to see two people checking out ren , who you knew absolutely nothing about , that was great to me 😊

I love how he ties it up in the end. Because god is god, angels are good, devils are bad but humans are the only ones that have that pendulum. That have to make choices daily between good and evil

Definitely check out "Sick Boi" if you get a chance. It's straight-up rap and talks about his struggles with the medical industry (as well as a few other thoughts). Or, if you want to hear Ren singing rather than rapping, try "Chalk Outlines (live)" featuring Chinchilla. If you don't know Chinchilla, btw, you'll probably like her as well. And if you'd like to see another epic Ren video that tells a story, check out "Money Game pt 3."

And if you would like to just hear him sing, the song Chalk Outlines is great. You will also find he was the lead singer of the band The Big Push. Street busking or performing. He is from Wales.😮

Ren permits and even encourages reactions to his content, FYI. You don't have to do weird stuff with the reverb or any of that. If you get enough views on a recent release of his, he might stop by to thank you for watching even. He will not copyright strike anyone.

Ren has a complete range of genre, dark heavy themes and light funny ones, he raps, sings ballads, can rock, does modern, does retro. You never know what is coming next. He has a massive catalog and it is all super top quality. As if the performances were not enough he does his own production. He is an independent artist that does his own promotion but his Sick Boi album still got to no.1 in the UK last year. By the way he was born in Wales not Ireland but has lived in Brighton in England for years.

It's generally accepted by the fanbase that there are 5 characters in the song. It begins with Ren and his subconscious-- this is something that most everyone care relate to, the voice inside your head that's telling you you're an imposter, that you're not worthy, that even if things are currently going well, you'll no doubt screw it up. Then when the lights are flickering he goes into a dialog between two concepts or ideas or whatever you want to call them: I think of the first one as Despair and the second one as Hope, but I'm sure other words could fit equally well. Then finally the spoken part at the end, which is just plain Ren himself, not putting on any character, and giving us facts about his life and expressing his honest opinions. This isn't the same as the Ren in the first part of the song, because that Ren is a Ren that has separated out the part of him that is doubting and causing anxiety, and trying to live without it-- it's only at the end that we get a Ren that's complete, who has accepted that there are parts of himself that will always be there, and that rather than trying to defeat or destroy them, he needs to find a way to not beat himself up over having dark or inappropriate thoughts sometimes-- he needs to accept that he's human, and that means not being perfect, or even being as good as we want to be.

I enjoyed this review seeing your jaws drop and then start trying to interpret what was going on. My take: The song starts out with Ren having an argument between his light and dark subconscious self. The dark is that voice in our head telling us we are not good enough. The light is saying I am satisfied with what I am doing is showing progress and I am happy with it. The next part is when light tries to lock away dark thoughts and you see the ultimate evil Lucifer step in. Then the angelic Hope appears to battle Lucifer for his soul. After the battle is won by Hope is the monologue explaining this struggle is a dance that when you push and pull it gets easier when you relax and accept both sides. Oh, and the ending monologue with the auto immune and psychosis is true. He was misdiagnosed and the side effects from his meds caused the psychosis. Next song I see you just released Sick Boi, also a true event talking about his struggles with the medical industry and society problems…

Haha that was an interesting reaction, one where you could definitely tell you had no idea what was to come unlike some others who have blatantly watched it before. I’ll keep an eye out and be back if you do more Ren. From how you reacted I would suggest a song from him called ‘back on 74’ next to see what he’s really capable of
