I read a comment from another Renegade. Ren saw Fred Again live on his trip to Las Vegas and apparently he was "broken" when the line I've Been Lost was repeated over & over. It obviously struck a chord with him. (You should check out Fred Again's Tiny Desk Concert - mind blowing)

Fred again is a uk producer who has had many nunber 1 hits with some of the uks most influential singers. During the covid lockdown, he started doing his own stuff using emotional charged vocals that he found Internet, using them to produce beautifully emotional tracks, along with some bangers 😂. Fred and Ren both have a bit of a soft spot for D&B (drum and base), a unique jonera of UK dance music as well. This, for me is the most talented singer in the uk, showing his appreciation for Fred Agains work. As you so rightly pointed out, the Tiny Desk concert is just mind blowing. Being a fan of both, I knew the second I saw the title that I was I for a treat. Big love to you all ❤

As a writer Ren is the love child of Bob Dylan’s social commentary and Leonard Cohens emotional intelligence with Jimmy Hendrix soul and Jim Morrison’s mystical reach with Tom Waits flair for authentic and raw eclectic vocalizations, Laurie Anderson’s genius for metaphysical mental performance and that brilliance of body language developed by Antoin Artaud in his Theatre Of the absurd! Generational talent is an understatement! An artist full of greatness, walking the razors edge of genius and madness, who articulates the human condition and human suffering like the painters Van Gogh and Francis Bacon! As so many reactors have broke down and exclaimed the genre is REN! This is what they said about Picasso. This is what we say about REN! I’m so blessed his emergence has come while I’m alive. We all are. At just the very beginning of our awareness of him and we already have the gifts of Hi Ren, The Tales, The Demos, Money Game Trilogy, Chalk Outlines, How to be Me, and Now OMFG Fred Again Mashup-already no less than 10 paradigm shifting masterpieces. And let’s not forget the brilliant Flex of Sic Boi! Viva Ren!!! Lets F’ing Go Ren! Don’t put that guitar down the future of music history is waiting on your every song!

Fred Again is a British EDM artist that got huge in Britain during covid. Ren is a huge fan and saw him in concert when he was in LA. He said when he played the song Angie which is the I've been lost part of the mash up Ren started crying uncontrollably in the middle of the song because it connected with him so deeply. He has a great BTS of him writing the song and shooting the video on his patreon page. He purposely did not monetize the video so he could put it out as quickly as possible to as many people as he could. He has 3 more videos done that should start coming out soon that are all re makes or Mashups. Then a full album of these types of songs followed by an album of collaborations. He already finished a new song with Chinchilla that both teased on their igs. Great reaction as always.

2:25 The reason you, "Hear another guitar being played" is because Ren is playing with 2 fingers at the same time on his right hand. His pointer finger and his thumb. His thumb is playing the solo chord on its own which gives it the deeper DONG (similar to maybe a chello). His pointer finger is playing the rest of the notes giving the high pitched DINGing sound you hear.

If you notice he doesn't use a pic, he plucks the strings with his fingers. He can play/pluck two separate strings at the same time. His hand holding the neck is also using his thumb to hold down the thick/bass string along with his other busy fingers. So he can play a melody with one finger and the bass with the other finger. The finger picking is a different style because you need more working parts of the brain to keep track of different strings doing different things. A few guitarist commented they could never get the hang of finger picking or using their thumb on the fretboards. Besides his hands are big with long fingers making it possible to reach some serious cords.

The first two times Ren sings the line "I've been lost for a while," he turns his head in the direction of the neon SickBoi logo, the camera shifts focus from Ren to the neon SickBoi. It is subtle but once you see it you can't unsee it and it is powerful.

Regarding his health,his body is stuck in flight or fight mode due to damaged adrenals,brain, thyroid and lord knows what else. Did you notice that he grabbed his knee at the end if the song because it was shaking? I think probably a rush of adrenaline after the emotional singing. It was fine the rest of the song. I saw the bts of this on his Patreon. He did all the directing on this himself and Josh Stiles did the filming. And, ahem... he looks really healthy without a shirt on.😂❤

I did notice that! Someone else had mentioned that in his other performances he moves his legs a lot to try to relieve the pain. He had talked about that in an interview I watched as well. I had a bit of info about the damage that had been done to him from the Lyme and I can only imagine what an enormous undertaking it is to treat it! Oh, and that sort clip he posted of him in the mirror talking about his gains in the gym...I had to put my phone away. 🤣

But you can see the change in him between the Justin Hawkins interview and the Zach Sang interview.But he still has not been able to expand his food choices. He takes 100 pills a day. Has MCAS and POTS. Looking up MCAS is a little unnerving.
