Ren - Freckled Angel

[@fibienn250]

How amazing is it that Joe died so many years ago and now people all over the world know his name and face. This bittersweet song is a beautiful homage.

[@tesskennedy4959]

It is quite the wonder.

[@nikitrash]

Incredibly well put. It was the Egyptians that said it before Banksy did, but; " They say you die twice. The first time is when you take your last breath. And the second, when someone says your name for the last time." Ren, in all his humbling and selfless glory, has immortalized the people he's lost. There IS, no higher honor.

[@ezrasace]

Beautiful tribute. Joe was lucky to have a friend love him so much.

[@spiritofhonuguidanceforlife]

Ren, I think it's safe to say Joe is so very proud of the strong man you have become. You have more than just honored his memory...it's 2023 and you are helping to bring so many people out of the dark 💗

[@tesskennedy4959]

So very very true xxx

My younger brother was killed in a hit and run accident when he was 17 and this beautiful song could have been written for him, right down to the freckles. Heaven has too many freckled angels if you ask me. Thank you Ren for your beautiful heart and for sharing your awesome talents with us ❤

My baby sister, Heather, was killed in a skydiving accident on February 18, 2023. She wasn’t only my sister, she was my person. The last 6 months have been the hardest days of my life because we would talk everyday and we were such a huge part of each other’s lives. August 23 will be her first birthday in the spirit world. Your song for Joe resonates so deeply with me, Ren, and is everything I want to say to my sister. I prayed and asked her to help me find a song to record for her as a dedication and that’s when I found your music and this song. My sister was a musician and would often go live on Facebook for cover jam sessions. I never missed those! So this year, even tho my body will no longer allow me to play a guitar, I would love to sing along with your recording and record myself singing and post it as a dedication to my sister if that’s okay. I know that Joe and Heather are okay, and that they are proud of us! ❤

May you continue to celebrate the life of your sister. Her death, is only 1 day of hundreds....remember all those amazing days. Much love💙🙏

[@andibay3736]

I have no idea how Ren got through this song without crying. I never met this beautiful boy and yet my heart is broken and I shed tears in Joe having to leave earth so suddenly … The harmony at the end did me in. 🥲 Ren’s voice was absolutely beautiful. I have a feeling Joe has made up a ridiculous dance to it that he makes all the angels do with him whenever he hears it🥹💞 Peace and soar high, sweet freckled Angel 🙏🕊️

[@ninjahaz0180]

After “for joe”, this is beautiful Ren

[@jaeljade3609]

He sure was cute. He must have been in a lot of pain to do what he did. I know from experience since I'm a survivor. The doctors gave my husband a 50/50 chance I'd pull through. It took me a long time to get past being angry that I lived, but now I couldn't imagine not being here, and seeing what I did to family and friends really taught me a lesson. I never in a million yrs wanted to hurt anyone, I just needed a break from the mental and physical pain. I don't think most people really want to die and they just make a rash decision that half way through they might regret. There needs to be much better help out there for the depressed and really sad people.

[@Pebeoblue]

Not being able to reach out, for me, is def a big part of it.

[@tesskennedy4959]

I’m a survivor and your comment resonated. I’m also glad I got through the two times. That was 40 years ago Glad you have healed ❤️‍🩹

[@jaeljade3609]

@@tesskennedy4959 same here, glad you're doing well. I still have tough times trying to get through and suicide does still crop up in my mind occasionally, but it's just because of chronic pain I deal with. I know that I can never let those thoughts take over again and I have to find better ways of coping. I never thought I'd get to the age I am now because suicide was always on my mind, but I've done a good job realizing that that those are just thoughts that don't serve me or other's well in any way. I'll probably always need to reach out for help for the rest of my life.

Who would have thought in this old forgotten corner of Ren's story would be my favorite version of this song! Fly high you freckled angel!

Ren there's nothing you can't do bro, in my prayers each day..

Rens video made me not ever want to go through with it- again. Knowing the pain left behind is something my kids never should ever go through, no matter what I feel.

I've always had alot of respect for this song! I just lost my best friend about a month ago and now I know the passion that went into this song! I can't listen to it now without getting goosebumps and feeling like he's right here with me! Great job Ren this song always reminds me that "Everything is going to be okay!" Keep it up!

[@amypence8753]

You got me crying...I'm so sorry Ren. My last 2 boyfriends committed suicide. One did it after I said I though we should just be friends cause we wanted diffrent things in life and the other when I ended things. It looks like Joe was a very fun, humorous, life of the party kinda guy. I know you miss him and I'm sure he's with you. I at times feel like I'm a curse. I've been single for 6yrs because of it, I don't want anyone else hurting themselves. Don't blame yourself for being a little late. It was his choice, you being a little late wasn't why he did it. You know that. I don't know if you have ever heard the song Vincent by Don McLean. It's been awhile since I've heard it but the jist of it is that someone people are too beautiful for this world. It's a beautiful song. I feel guilt too. I know it's not my fault. The last one i was with, Jeff had threatened to do it before and I call the police and I got yelled at saying I was waisting their time. So I didn't call the last time and he did it. I relate, but I won't pretend to know how you feel cause everyone thinks, feels and processes things differently. He is your freckled angel and I'm so sorry you lost your friend.

[@amypence8753]

The song Vincent is about Vincent Van Gogh. The line I was thinking about is "I could've told you Vincent, this world is not ment for someone as beautiful as you."

[@hawayo_]

Wow i absoulutely love this "older" versoin of the song!

[@Microplancakes]

My god!! Such an horrific loss. I really don’t know what to say except this is a beautiful tribute to Joe!! I’m sure he hears when you think and sing for him!!

[@JulesboatgrlUS]

Sad, beautiful guy, a shame , over failed relationships, these lost souls are usually the most brightest funniest can light up a room , thy hide it... so sad, Joe is deff watching over Ren, it's his time to shine, Joe just might be seeing that through, Thy are our Angels,loosing someone this way is the worst, no matter how much time passes , it creeps bck up certain times & it feels like that same day those same feelings come flooding back , What if's would of's could of's are all gone & a permanent decision for a temporary problem , just so sad, Prayers to all these Angeles, there is a way out, at times we don't see it, we all were put here for a reason, God has a plan for all of us, We just need to believe... Beautiful song!!! ❤🙏

[@Cynthiabecker24]

My brother committed Suicide when he was 24yo and I was 21yo. Im the youngest and only girl of 7. Our childhood was horrible, but the bonds that were formed between us siblings was solid. Losing my freckled angel was bittersweet. Although I understood his pain and his eyes said everything I needed to know. Having that loss, made all of our connections different and life altering. Yes, we continued to live, but in a very different way. I'm at peace that he no longer suffers, but I'm sad, he never got to know that life could have improved. My relatives often tell me i look much like my bro, and damn that makes me feel freaking awesome.🙏💙

[@harzfreak3456]

[@bethstratton3391]

I firmly believe that there are certain people we are destined to meet in our lifetime, because we are naturally drawn to certain energy and flow states that draw together as vibrating atoms and lightbody energy. We all give off a resonance and we attract each other. When we attract that special set of atoms in human shape we feel it deep inside and we glow with love, compassion and kindness. Ren, Joe was that set of atoms for you at that time in space. The universe is filled with vibrations in space, interconnected and unified in constant communication, if we give it our passion, it sends us ideas or people to support in return. We know nothing in the universe is ever lost so take comfort in knowing Joe will always be with you in heart, soul and vibration. That is what angels are manifestations of the essence of nature, or put more simply our natural messengers of universal heart in guide form. Happy Birthday Joe long may you be blessed in the universal light and long may you be Ren’s guiding light.
