I don't care who or what he is singing, I'm fine with him humming his grocery list. Just want to hear his beautiful voice. 😇

[@esmepoms]

He could make a grocery list epic! Now I kinda wanna hear that!

[@yeahnahbeauty]

lowkey would be funny

[@aarflow1]

I’d listen to him recite the numbers of PI 3.1416 ad infinitum…

[@iamtheevening]

Rens commentsection always hits different. Especially when all these people come out and share their life stories and worries.

[@dancedout60]

I am old. I was a Beatles and Stones baby, born in '60. I was just the right age for the explosion of good music in the late '70s and early '80s. And then came Prince, the GOAT, who saved my life over and over again from deep depression - 17 days, Erotic City, Another Lonely Christmas, and on and on and on. Since Prince, nothing has really touched me (and Ren, did you get that flash drive?). Ren, you are saving people's lives - they are lost, and they are really trying. Thank you. :)

[@jasonkart1651]

Ren not monetizing this tells you exactly who Ren is. He comes out with a song that legit is in the class of For Joe, Chalk Outlines and How To Be Me. Gets us renegades who never heard of Fred Again to want to check him out and the same for his fans who never heard of Ren. All for just his love of music and that artist in particular. There are many things that make Ren one of one but this is up there as to why.

[@Mello4fee]

[@DJdeliverance]

I'm confused where's Fred again on this track I only seen him play at the boiler room once IDK maybe I'm thinking of another guy? Lol

[@A-fn4pq]

I believe a mashup is using other songs as part of a mixed track. In this case 4 or 5 ones of Fred Again. If Fred Again would be part of this it would get another name@@DJdeliverance

[@Ken-mn2nh]

That is well said. Ren is special above and beyond.

[@Ken-mn2nh]

One of One. Finally. That's what it is. I have tried to make lists. Socrates, Mozart, Picasso, Ren. Elvis, Dylan, Hendrix, Ren. Valid lists, I think, but your take is the reality. Here is the entire list. REN.

[@dogtagcognitio4059]

I know a schizophrenic that was very lost and couldn't find his voice amongst the others. Then his ear was piqued by Ren. Now he uses Ren's music to rediscover his voice every morning. I'm ever grateful for this.

[@hannaftw3684]

That is beautiful on so many levels, dang, music, compassion, understanding and respect is so underestimated as tools for healing or just getting through those days that seem to be impossible to even start from the moment you open you eyes in the morning. ❤

I'm 60 this year and I thought I'd seen it all till Ren came along. From Bob marley, Bowie and all the greats. Ren blows me away ❤❤❤

[@rexrogers1859]

Wonderful comment 😊

[@jeffreyaverett1800]

It's the nostalgia hitting you. While it's all new and amazing (minus the covers), he takes us back to the time of storyteller's, folk and early rock. Let alone the fact that it's been decades since we've had an artist who didn't need all the production and auto-tune to sound great. Then throw in the fact that he's just so down to earth open, brutally honest, intelligent, approachable and you have a recipe for that rare gravity that resides in so few humans these days. That gravity has been pulling me in from day one. There was no denying it or turning away. I think weve all been lost for a while Ren. Thanks for helping us find our way. 💛🤘🤙✌️

[@pom-pom]

@@rexrogers1859 I've been blessed all my life with music from seeing Bowie live and all the greats including live aid with Queen. Loads of festivals with Radio head, chilli peppers. But Ren is something else ❤️

[@StevenShires]

I'm crying. I'm 70. Best music since I sat on stage during Bob Marley's performance in Montego Bay 1979. I'm stunned. The video work - All of this is gold. What a discovery I made about a month ago - this man is the new world stage. "I've been really trying...." sobbing. A masterpiece.

Same I had given up on music Ren gave me hope againx

[@Kel0027]

Also, check out Ren with The Big Push if you haven't already. Just to see people play for joy. It doesn't seem like a thing anymore. They play because they want to, and it shows. You will ❤ them.

[@nrsvlda70]

73 yr old Gma here… I’ve been listening to this all afternoon… just can’t get enough of REN. Grew up on 60s/70s music - when it was actually music.. Ren is the only current music talent I’ve listened to for years. I watch vids of old stuff.. but any new artists (IMO) for the most part are ‘rinse and repeat’ - all the same. Ren couldn’t be more opposite from all of them; you never know what you’re gonna get with him.. it’s incredibly refreshing! Thank-you Ren… couldn’t love you more!

[@Dankskees]

I always listen to a new Ren song with my grandma first. She loves him.

[@monicajamba3056]

100% I’m a new grandma and I feel his music on a deep level. It’s crazy!!

[@nomindseye]

Ok, I totally understand where you all are coming from. But what your opinion shows is just that you have not listened to enough music. Radio is NOT a way to find talent 99.9%of the time. There's been a lot of very innovative, incredibly talented and unique bands in the last 20 years, but it's no guarantee that you personally will like them. For example, Igorrr is absolute madman and incredible songwriter - as long as you can stomach the idea of combining ANY genre with ANY other genre about 20 times per song. Or Meshuggah completely reinvented metal, which now has been aped to death. Or the incredible compositions of Tool, or the absolutely mind-blowing melodies of ISIS from their last album. My list is very metal oriented because I listen more metal than anything else. But saying that there is nothing new or great is just a sign of not looking for anything good hard enough. Totally understandable. Who wants to sift through crap for days and weeks on end to find one decent artist, and once a year finding someone great? But that is the reality. There's so much music that finding the good stuff takes real effort, and people just don't want to bother. That said, I'm glad that you all found Ren, he's definitely the best I've heard in the pop music sphere so far.

[@darrenbell9790]

As nothing on Ben Howard

[@JoiceVaderd]

There's this artist called NF who has some extremely relatable music. He had a huge following, but isn't spoken of by the mainstream. He got me into newer music. I first heard of him back in 2018. Him and Ren give me similar feelings.

[@JayGundry]

One of my favourite things about you Ren is (as other folks have said) we never know what genre the next song will be. You don't define yourself to one genre and whether it's rap, EDM, folk, pop, rock, reggae or acapella... I'm here to listen to you and am enjoying being there to share your journey!

[@xoen6]

Getting stuck into one genre is VERY limiting thing.

[@tiredmdntblggr]

"I've been lost for a while. But I've been really trying." Sounds so simple, but if you have suffered from chronic fatigue or other chronic illnesses involving fatigue, that sums it up pretty perfectly.

[@AshleyLebedev]

So sorry for your loss. Open yourself up to it. We can teach ourselves that which we were never taught. I was same, nature healed me. Also just self care yourself back slowly with nourishing your body. I’m an eastern practitioner. Magnesium and sea salt baths are very healing. Herbal help when sad: St. John’s wort, hawthorn (don’t take hawthorn if on 🧡 meds already, linden tincture or tea, rose tincture or tea, milky oats seed (tincture). Also try to let yourself truly feel it. It’s so freeing. On bad days try to implement some laughter with friends or even just gratitude where you see it - laughter or films or friends or comedy. It’ll help balance the grief out in the lung area which is where grief is held. If it’s really bad some days, get a lot of sunlight & juice 12 oranges (the hold the light) Other really rejuvenating herbs if it’s REALLY bad: astragalus, ginseng which will also help with energy. I wish you a lot of love and healing & found your comment touching. I feel a lot of people can’t even say that part out loud but you did.

There is nothing Ren can't do. I'm in awe every single song, no matter how many times I've listened to it. Ren, you're saving lives. I hope you know that. We've all been lost, but at least you've built a community where we can be lost together. Lost doesn't have to equal alone anymore. YOU did that.

REN! Your music is the only music I get really excited to hear even if its a cover I don't care. You in my opinion are one of the greatest musicians I've ever come across and can never wait for the next ear worm you will inevitably get stuck in my head! Keep doing what you're doing the world needs it... I need ita

The original hit pretty hard when I heard it got the first time. But oh man, this one hit me like a Mack truck

[@Anitamcnamara]

I watched this when it originally dropped. Then a couple more times. Left it for a couple days. Saw the BTS on patreon. Watched the Fred Again's videos of each song and then a video using Fred Again's songs, matching Ren's mash-up. And now back to Ren. This cuts deep. It's hard to actually listen to it as it causes my emotions to scatter, very hard to contain them. Every pluck of the string, tap on the guitar, tremble in the voice, grimace on the face and oh God, the looking out the window as if to compose himself. So raw!

[@shawnmason6876]

Ever since I discovered you after falling down the usual internet rabbit hole, I feel...different. I can't explain it. It's a chaotic shake up of words when I try. You draw me in to an emotional firestorm, and it's just as energizing as it is mesmerizing. You take me places that I never thought I could revisit. But once arrived, I feel safe, understood, and warmly embraced. I feel calm. I feel connected. Thank you, Ren. From the bottom of my sucker punched heart. You will never be forgotten. ♥️

[@garysherwin3316]

Beutiful words

[@M8OFMINE]

You have no idea how many times I have now watched this... I spent around 18 months obsessed with Fred again before you dropped Hi-Ren and I have been obsessed with you since that moment. This was like a day dream in my own mind coming true... Thank you Ren. It is amazing to hear you acoustic with such powerful lyrics by another artist. This is my favourite live performance for a while ❤❤❤

No matter if he's singing, rapping or playing a instrument - all is pure art and a genius way to connect with the world ❤

[@undistortedX]

Ren is one of the few artists I don't have connectivity issues with. I listen to his work without the hassle of all kind of adapters, just the right protocols on my interface, having direct access to my heart and soul. He uses the human interface and that is beyond refreshing.

As a 36 yr old guy i want to say thank you Ren! You are the only guy that makes me feel like a little boy again! For real, i can not explain how much joy i felt when i saw a premiere is coming from you. I am German and i literally tell everyone about you and your music. I can not imagine what else will come from you in future. But i think that you really could be one of the reeeaaaalllly big artists that people will talk about in decades! If you improve the way you did before.... i am beyond thrilled to follow your journey!

40 years old and had pretty much given up on music. Don't know when or even why. But when someone would ask what I listen to , I'd think for a second and realize, I don't anymore. Until I came across some new music coming out of the bluegrass area. I wouldn't call it country but I assume that's what others call it. I've never cared for country music. But on my journey they that untapped treasure chest, I kept seeing hi ren in my feed. When I finally clicked on it, I didn'teven make it past the "yodeling" and was out 😂. But then I kept seeing reaction videos for hi ren, and thought maybe I needed to check it out fr. And my god mate. What a piece of art that song is. Anyway, just wanted to thank you for helping to open up a 40 year old man to music again. Def helps get thru the day God speed sir

How can this man make me go from happy to chill to vibing to sobbing in unser 5 minutes with nothing but his voice and a guitar? First i was bawling my eyes out because he expressed my feeling of being so fucking lost as if he sang it to me after reading my soul, and when I just got myself back together and was thinking about the shear amount of different vocal styles and ways to play a guitar in this acoustic mashup of high BPM electronic music and that I can't come up with any other artist coming even close to that versatility, skill and unfiltered honesty in every single piece he creates and then I remembered that the world and all of humanity almost had him stolen from a fucking bite of a tick and I started sobbing again. Ren, of all humans I ever saw or heard of, you are the most beautiful, in every way a human can be beautiful. You may feel lost, but the truth is we all are, and I thought I lost hope for a long time, but you give me hope. It may sound stupid but the way you connect to peoples souls makes me feel like you are an angel, and if everyone would hear it, the money game, greed, hate and disconnection between people would finally be over and we would be back in eden. Thank you for not getting lost and keep trying, this world would be so much colder if you were not here my brother! 🫶🥹

[@joshuahufnagel5594]

When Ren looks towards the window and sings 'I've Been Lost' : that subtle look - being in that city represents loss - the 'Sick Boi' neon sign represents loss: in the sense of what those tunes meant - - but he's singing with hope by facing away from the window - looking over his shoulder at the past.

[@jimm254]

The head snap to the side is something Ren does regularly when singing emotionally. I think he does it to control his emotions. He does it more than once in For Joe and in How To Be Me - on each occasion he is visibly shaken. As the camera pans away at the end of this track, Ren moves his hand from guitar to knee and he is visibly shaking. This song cut deep.

[@jujugar9442]

I’ve spent the whole waking hours I’ve had this weekend listening to this & all of the Fred Again tracks & more. This is the greatest acoustic version of an EDM song I’ve ever heard. I’m from the ‘90’s era of raver babysitter so the music for me was it I was smoking a little weed here & there but that was it. Paul Oakenfold sets were absolutely crazy. Just learning about Fred Again now so it’s giving me serious nostalgic feelings! Ren you got me paying attention to what I’m listening to again & good sir I thank you for that!!!

I had some few songs in the past 15 years that i really liked. Before that, ive been listening 2 to 3 hrs a day. But i never thought i would ever get so deeply involved with a musician again. Its like he smashed in the barrier in my head to let the feelings flow again. In fact this is the first time I consider myself a real fan. I adored alot of music in my life but in this case its kind of a personal connection. Almost every song is touching me so deeply, i don't have words for it. I can't compare it to anything ive ever heard or seen. His gentle and humble soul shines through almost every song, his versatility and talent is mindblowing as well as the cinematography of the videos. This gave me the drive to search for more great new musicians and I've found a few. Theres still real art out there if you dig deep enough. Anyways they all can't really keep up with Ren. But im passionate about music again and thats the greatest gift i got since i found him two years ago. Thanks Ren!
