Ren - Hi Ren (Official Music Video)
Hi Ren is out now on all streaming platforms
renmakesmusic.lnk.to/hiren
Creating this song wasn't easy, but I'm so proud of how it turned out.
Want to say a big thank you for everyones support over the years. During the years trapped inside with chronic health problems the main thing that kept me going was a belief that one day I would come out the other side, and be able to achieve success through music. I don’t have a label, and sometimes pushing these things as hard as I want becomes a massive challenge, and I find myself frustrated that there aren’t enough hours in the day to push it as far as I want to. I would love to ask a favour to anyone who has ever enjoyed my music over the years, and it will only take a few minutes of your day.It would mean the world to me if you shared ‘Hi Ren’ as much as you can, over social media platforms, with friends, over email. Together, and with your help I can hopefully reach people all over the world, and get one step closer to the dream I always had! Thank you so much for the support so far!

Were close to being able to hit a top 10 record spot, maybe even a number one! Pretty unbelievable for an independent record! You can help push that even further! Pre-order the Sick Boi album by clicking this link! bio.to/Ren-Sick-Boi As always here are the lyrics for anyone who wants them, thankyou so much for watching this, really proud of it, im doing everything independently so if it moved you in someway it would mean the world to me if you gave it a share as it will help spread it all over the world :) Also out on streaming platforms too! renmakesmusic.lnk.to/hiren Hi there Ren It's been a little while, Did you miss me? You thought you’d buried me, didn't you? Risky… Because I always come back Deep down you know that… Deep down you know I'm always in periphery Ren aren't you pleased to see me? it's been weeks since we spoke bro, you know you need me You’re the sheep, I'm the shepherd Not your place to lead me Not your place to be biting off the hand that feeds me Hi Ren I’ve been taking some time to be distant I’ve been taking some time to be still I've been taking some time to be by myself since my therapist told me I'm ill I've been making some progress lately, and I've learnt some new coping skills So I haven't really needed you much man I think we need to just step back and chill Ren, you sound more insane than I do You think that those doctors are really there to guide you? Been through this a million times Your civilian mind is so perfect at always being lied to Okay, take another pill boy Drown yourself in the sound of white noise Follow this 10 step program, rejoice! All your problems will be gone! Fucking dumb boy Nah mate, this time it's different man trust me I feel like things might be falling in place And my music's been kinda doing bits too Like I actually might do something great And when I'm gone maybe I'll be remembered For doing something special with myself That's why I don't think that we should talk man Cause when your with me it never seems to help You think that you can amputate me? I am you, you are me, you are I, I am we We are one, split in two that makes one so you see You got to kill you if you wanna kill me. I'm not left over dinner, I’m not scraps on the side, oh your music is thriving? Delusional guy! Where's your top ten hit? Where's your interview with Oprah? Where are your grammes Ren? Nowhere! Yeah but, my music's not commercial like that I never chased numbers, statistics or stats I Never write hooks for the radio, they never even play me so why would Iconcernn myself with that? But my music is really connecting, And the people who find it respect it , And for me that's enough ‘cause this life's been tough so it gives me a purpose I can rest in Man you sound so pretentious ! Ren your music is so self centred, No one wants to hear another song about how much you hate yourself… trust me You should be so lucky having me inside you to guide you, remind you to manage expectations, provide you perspective, that thing you neglected, I get it You wana be a big deal… Next jimi hendrix? forget it Man it's not like that Man it's just like that I'm inside you you twat Nah it's not man your wrong, when I write I belong Let me break the fourth wall by acknowledging this song Ren sits down, Has a stroke of genius, He wants to write a song that was not done previous A battle with his subconscious… Eminem did it Played on guitar Plan B did it Man your not original you criminal, rip off artist, the pinnacle of your success is stealing other people's material Ren mate we've heard it all before Ohh "she sell sea shells on the sea shore" Fuck you I don't need you, I don't need to hear this, cause I'm fine by myself, I'm a genius! and I will be great, and I will make waves, and ill shake up the whole world beneath us That's right speak your truth, your fucking god complex leaks out of you It's refreshing to actually hear you say it! In stead of down play it… “Oh the music Is all about the creative process and if people can find something to relate to within that the that's just a bonus” Fuck you ima fucking kill you Ren Well fucking kill me then let's fucking have you Ren I'm a do it, watch me prove it, who are you to doubt my music? ‘Cause I call the shots I choose if you die Yeah I call the shots and so i who choose who survives I'll tie you up in knots then I'll lock you inside News flash… I was created at the dawn of creation, I am temptation I am the snake in Eden, I am the reason for treason Beheading all Kings, I am sin with no rhyme or reason, Sun of the morning, Lucifer, Antichrist, father of lies, Mestophilies, Truth in a blender, Deceitful pretender, The Banished avenger, The righteous surrender When standing in-front of my solar eclipse, My name it is stitched to your lips so see I won't bow to the will of a mortal, feeble and normal You wana kill me? I'm enteral, immortal I live in every decision that catalysed chaos That causes division I live inside death, the beginning of ends I am you, you are me, I am you Ren Hi Ren… I’ve been taking some time to be distant, I’ve been taking some time to be still I’ve been taking some time to be by myself and I've spent half my life ill But just as sure as the tide start turning Just as sure as the night has dawn Just as sure as rain fall soon runs dry when you stand in the eye of the storm I was made to be tested and twisted I was made to be broken and beat I was made by his hand, it's all part of the plan that I stand on my own two feet And you know me my will is eternal And you know me you've met Me before Face to with a beast I will rise from the east and I'll settle on the ocean floor And I go by many names also Some people know me as hope Some people know me as the voice that you hear when u loosen the noose on the rope And you know how I know how I know that I'll prosper? Because I stand here beside you today I have stood in the flames that cremated my brain And I didn't once flinch or shake So cower at the man I've become When I sing from the top of my lungs That I won't retire I'll stand in your fire inspire the meek to be strong And when I am gone I will rise In the music that I left behind Ferocious persistent, immortal like you we’re a coin with two different sides When I was 17 years old I shouted out into an empty room, into a blank canvas, that I would defeat the forces of evil, and for the next 10 years of my life I suffered the consequences... With Illness, autoimmunity and psychosis As I got older I realised that there were no real winners or no real losers in physiological warfare But there were victims and there were students It wasn’t David verses Goliath, it's was a pendulum eternally swaying between the dark and the light, and the brighter the light shone, the darker the shadow it cast It was never a battle for me to win, it was an eternal dance, and like a dance, the more rigid I became the harder it got The more I cursed my clumsy footsteps the more i suffered And so I got older and I learned to relax, and I learned to soften, and that dance got easier It is this eternal waltz that separates human beings from angels, from demons, from gods And I must not forget, we must not forget, that we are human beings.

I’m just a 73 year old man who over my years on this earth have learned to appreciate all forms and styles of music. I rarely comment on the majority of artists I have stumbled upon in my search for good music but you sir are one of those very rare artists that I’ve heard who can span the distance of age. Your music, style and emotion in your performance is refreshing to this old man and my belief in the younger generation of musical artists. I look very much forward to listening to more of your creations, for they are not mere songs that you share, they are life.

im 600 and i also enjoy this because how old we are matters

[@RenMakesMusic]

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 criticise 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.

[@striderman-]

Ren these words mean more to me than you'd ever understand. The fact you silenced that voice in your head gives me hope that I can too. Please keep on fighting. The world needs you. I've recently discovered you and TBP and you've changed my perception in ways I don't understand yet.

[@bookerwills8649]

Can't wait, also that's very deep and I appreciate you being so open, we need that in today's world where we are supposed to be strong and independent, we need to hear about others struggles in order to deal with our own, we need to help each other.

[@bookerwills8649]

I will add a quick story to show why being open helps others. I was trapped in a hole that I was lowered in a cage to do some work. Utter catastrophe happened and water started filling the hole. I couldn't get to the cage to get raised, I resigned to I was going to die. Luckily it got solved before I drown, I got out eventually puked out of shock and was never the same. However I didn't think about the people watching from up top, they thought they were going to watch a man die and they didn't speak about it. Not until group therapy years later and with me being completely open and crying did one guy finally let go, "I thought I was going to watch you die" saying that out loud helped him and even me understand his animosity towards me. Being vulnerable allows others to also be vulnerable and that is not a bd thing. Thank you for sharing ren, I'm sure it's going to be an amazing video

[@striderman-]

@@bookerwills8649 I'm glad you're still with us to share this story. Your story is an affirmation to my core value in life. Every interaction we have with each other is a "two way street". Travel down the other person's path before you judge or come to conclusions. If more people would Sonder this world would be a better place.

I wish I had discovered this song 3 weeks ago. My Dad (step but my Dad my whole life) has struggled with mental health issues for a very long time. He hung himself on the 11th. If I had seen this then, I would have sent it to him. He was an incredible man. He was insanely intelligent and he was a musician like you. He had actually gotten back together and played with his band again a couple weeks before (back in the day he played guitar and sang). Though he worried he wouldn't be able to sing well enough ever again. But at least that brought him a little bit of joy in the week leading up. I know that he would have appreciated this song so much. I'm almost positive that it would have resonated with him. And idk I just feel that maybe if I had sent this, it could have given him hope and strength. Maybe filled him with motivation to overcome. I guess I'll never know and there is no point in wondering. But just know I appreciate this song entirely. It also gives me a bit of hope.

My sister is bipolar and she is in psychosis now. This is the first time I have ever seen anything close to showing and explaining this disorder combined with the track Sick Boi. She explains what she sees and what is like. I love her and I see her and I understand her. I want to help her now more than ever and seeing you lets me is a recovery is possible and I believe in her. I can not rip her out of her head and it kills me. She feels like a part of me physically and that part of missing and we both are fighting to get back to each other. She is hyper intelligent and all things good until the other her takes her away. I do not want an apology as I know enduring it is the lesser offence then having to be her. I'll bleed for her as many times as it takes. I just knew what I could do to help her come back to me, to escape this mind prison. Thank you Ren for showing yourself. It did make a difference to me. I feel less alone in my own way. May you dance stay as balanced as it can. I know it never ever stops.

Without sharing my diagnoses (I have a lot), I regularly have psychosis on top of mood swings and panic attacks, and as hard as its been for me, it's been harder for my family that can't understand. My father showed me this, and I think he was excited to be able to feel connected to me through music that he could relate to my mental health problems. I'm not really one to leave comments, but I wanted to say thank you.

After nearly 25 years I just got lost and its been very hard to find my way back. And sadly, this time it will be alone. After decades of creating within a group, going solo is such a huge challenge for me. Artists like REN, are indeed rekindling that fire. Its a good feeling.

Hi Ren, I swear your song has helped me so much and I came here just to tell you this and to listen to your song another time. I think this song might be just the thing to pull me out. It gives me hope. That I can live with that side of me someday, even if there will still be bad days. Or bad weeks. Or bad months. Your songwriting and overall composing of the entire song got me to finally believe it for once, when I tell myself it'll be alright. So thank you so much and I hope you reach the goals in your life you have in mind, that you may have the future you wanted and that you will be happy. ❤

This song has changed my life because you gave words to feelings, moments and events in my life that I don't dare ever bring up, therefore I don't have words to express my head. And here comes this song. Perfectly representing so much in just 9 minutes. In 9 minutes you capsulated years of my struggles. Struggles I'm starting to see aren't foreign to many. I'm not alone. I think I said that while sobbing the first 100 times I saw this video. Finally decided to share it with my students...I teach art history and we end classes with windows and mirrors - I show them art weather it's music, theatre, paintings, sculptures, graffiti (urban art as it should be called) and if they relate they flash a mirror, if they don't relate they flash a window). I'm not afraid to show them controversy. High school kids are bored in classrooms. Us teachers have to learn to listen all over again because this generation is different. COVID did something. And it hit a lot of us in our mental health. Again. All this to say - you gave me the biggest mirror of my life - in a song - that I found on tiktok first - now here - how to share it - and it will probably change someone else's life too. Thank you for your art. We're listening.

[@roseii2634]

There are certain people born in every generation that are just.. more. Sometimes it's the voice that catches your interest in the beginning but even that changes. The more you listen the more you realize that they are a lot more than that. In history bards were the ones that car around fires singing songs, but more importantly they were the ones that passed on history. Through them you learned about what came before, and with their tones, strumming, and words they learned what not to repeat from the past, and more importantly they gave hope for the future. They could make you laugh, cry, THINK. They are the ones that stir those feelings of love, hate, comradery... and so much more. Through their voice they sway history, for the better or worse. You not only share your history and what you have gone through, but make people think and open their eyes to what's going on around them. What's REALLY going on. You not only show them, us, but let everyone know they aren't alone. There are others going through the same things, and encourage people to stand together and help each other. Some people scream to an empty room while others scream in a room full of others, and are never heard. Never seen and over looked. We all hear the whispers and feel the pain, thinking that there is no one out there going through the same thing. It only takes that one person to smile at a random person to make a day better. That one person to reach out and help. That one person to SEE you, and help you get out of that hole. Shine that light. We are taught that we need no one, that no one is there. You're one of the people that remind people that it was all lies... there are other people out there. And to fight against it. All of the little things people do add up and create those butterfly effects, then that other person sees and reaches out to someone else. Lol I talk way to much. I'm sorry. Thank you for being one of the few bards in our time. Thank you for being you. Your love of what you do shines through everything you do, and the people that you keep close to you. I still feel like I didn't say it all right, but it's the closest I can get to it. Thank you again. You and your friends have fun in your travels, I can't wait to see what you do next.

G-day, I’m a 54 year old Australian woman who has British ancestry. 😊 I’ve always enjoyed British music, comedy etc. I’ve never really got into this kind of music, until now discovered this talented young man through Justin Hawkins of the Darkness who’s British rock band I really enjoy there music. I just felt the need to comment welcome to the world of you tube commenting lol. Hope you & your family are doing well in this crazy messed up world at the moment. 🇦🇺🇬🇧😊🐨🦘🦈🐊

Not really proud to admit it, but I think the words really are more elegant over there than it is here in the states. It’s like they have more meaning and they are aesthetically pleasing as well. I’ve been wanting to add proper as an adjective and call my friends mates but it wouldn’t sound right here I don’t think! 😂

[@RebeccaBarner-vj4yf]

By far one of the best songs I've ever listened to. It really touched my soul & that never happens. Thank you for that. Thank you for making a song that is so freaking deep. This was the very first song I'd heard by this artist and it automatically made me a fan.

[@LeonLush]

this was a wild experience, thank you

[@yuriination]

That's one of the finest, most authentic, most moving, pieces of work I've heard in YEARS. Like, 20 freakin years. This isn't a song. This is Art. This is a Masterpiece. This is Michaelangelo on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Keep listening to Hope. ♡

Ren, I'm 66 years old. I've been a music fan for as long as I can remember. This isn't a song, this is opera, this is something altogether new. This has touched me like nothing before. Keep fighting the good fight. And remember there is always "Hope" .

I’m Glad you’re here

Same it's so provocative

[@Terri_MacKay]

I don't really know what to say. I'm 60 years old, and I honestly can't remember ever hearing a song for the first time that stopped me in my tracks like this one did. That brought me to tears like this one. This song demands to be heard...it needs to be heard...it's a song for every human being who has ever struggled with mental illness and thought that there was no way through, no light at the end of the tunnel. I was one of them. Thank you for baring your soul. ❤️

[@jaysea1553]

my heart goes out to you my son who is 44 years old has been off his meds for 8 month's now and he is coming back to us,l will most certainly make sure he listens to this, l was going to say song but it is more a work of fine art a masterpiece you would think he can't top this but it would not matter

[@seejayjames]

I was stopped in my tracks too. So many hard-hitting ideas that need to be heard, and felt. Amazing.

[@Terri_MacKay]

@@jaysea1553 I'm so glad that you're getting your son back...and that he's finding himself again. Much love and healing thoughts to you, your son, and your whole family. Much better days are ahead. ❤️

[@heqitao]

I look at the comments, and I am so impressed at the way you have articulated your stories and were inspired by Ren. I listen to Hi Ren and there are no words to explain how magic this piece this is on so many levels. Somehow I am still left with more shame and inadequacy from these experiences. It is probably a good thing to be exposed.

[@feedbackking1316]

Thank you Ren, this means so much to me, to hear your struggles and to be able to relate.

[@TufanPozan]

I am 53 years old and making music since 15. But this guy is a genius. This is perfect Art. I really respect him and what he is doing !

I am not musically inclined at all! Also completely uneducated in it. However, I can feel the frequency, the energy , explosions in my heart, and mind, now to play it again, and again gleaning the wisdom of his words. We are kindred Ren, your one of my kind✨

Is there somewhere i can find your work?

[@allancaswell9793]

I have been a full time career songwriter since 1979. I have been successful and I thought I knew the whole thing. This piece has shown me how amazing songwriting can be ... I found you accidentally ... I need other people to hear it ... I love this

[@asbjrnnygard3203]

one of the most brilliant pieces of work in our day and time. Bless you Ren

[@Dirty-Blue-Groove]

As is often the case I am pretty late to the party here. I just heard this today for the first time and am quite blown away by the material and intensity of the artist. Many people speak of being honest in their music but I rarely think thats the case when I hear their material. This is genuine and beautiful in its integrity and sincerity. Beautiful work Ren! just beautiful

[@andrewwest8334]

“And I go by many names also. Some people know me as hope. Some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope.” Absolute chills. Just a stunning piece of work, the entire 9 minutes. Huge respect and admiration.

[@savache27]

Those lyrics got me also.

[@Ballbagsaggins]

That's the bit that finally cracked me the first time through.😭

[@XXChacowXX]

Just wanted to say I’m a 46 year old man, I’ve been to war, through tragedy, watched my mother and father pass in hospitals in the span of 18 months. I’ve dealt with what came to me as a father of four cuz I’ve had to. Through it all I’ve barely shown emotion, not understanding how to deal with any and all of it. This song hit me so hard. I’ve listened to it over a dozen times and I have a hard time not tearing up each and every time. It’s literally hope. It’s the epitome of watching someone rise above struggle come manifest before my eyes. I have no words to describe how much I appreciate this song, your lyrics, your performance. Thank you

[@waltertaylor7667]

Brother you are valuable, your feelings are real and deserve expression. Treat yourself the way you treat everyone else. I am a 43 year old father of 5. Recently accepted the fact that even though I am the strongest man in the room, I have never had a relationship that wasnt a bitch abusively plundering my life, especially the one with my recently dead father. Realize and celebrate yourself, bones to the rest of them for a minute.

As a Veteran who has struggled and battled with PTSD for 13 years, this song hits harder than anything I've watched or listened to. I know all too well that voice which isn't your own, putting you down at every turn. Thank you for creating this raw, emotional and beautiful masterpiece.

I am a musician, writer, and artist, and all I can say is I have never produced nor seen anything as genuine and moving as this. A most exceptional approach to demon-killing and expression.
