(Also I feel like I should say this. There are some of you who will have been following my story for a few years, and will know that my health was absolutely destroyed, leaving me disabled for years. It was only after a stem cell transplant that I started on the road to regaining my health. Before people ask me why I'm smoking after going through so much, I thought I’d just explain...
I’ve had to live like an absolute saint for so many years, missing out on the years where people are normally experimenting with every substance under the sun, watching what I eat, how much energy I use, putting everything under the microscope… I decided to have a week where I said fuck it, and did what I wanted. And you know what, It felt fuuucking great. I’ve since quit again (so you don’t have to worry mum and dad!) and gone back to seriously looking after my body and taking it easy, but it felt nice, and actually strangely quite cathartic to do something so obviously bad for me for a while. Don’t smoke or do drugs kiddies! Your body is a temple )

"I learned so many lessons from depression but in essence Im just wishin that these bad thoughts were gone." That resonated loudly.

[Verse 1] This Lighter don’t work, no No flame to spark my goal My nike’es laced in dirt, oh I feel like i’m treading on my own soul My headphones only working on the left side But I try to live the right life My eyes wide, and I strive To stop my demons gripping, gripping from the inside This road is dark and I can’t find the batteries for my flash light I’m blind eyed and I’m tried [verses 2] These drugs don’t work The pain it takes control A blood stained shirt I feel like I’m always being chased by the devil I tried to talk but I can’t seem to get my spoken words right And I t..t..t..t..t..t..try to keep my stutter light And this life it can be ish right Cut you like a flick knife Twist and make you sick right An I think, (maybe I’ll be better off alone) So I redirect the calls from my phone I learnt so many lessons from depression But in essence I’m just wishing the these bad thoughts were gone [Verse 3] Sometimes I get these times when it’s like time is against me In my mind I kind of mind yeah that my mind can torture me But I rhyme ‘cause when I rhyme it’s like my rhymes they set me free And I shine so bright, I shine those times these rhymes come out of me Sometimes I bleed, sometimes I crawl, sometimes I slip, sometimes I fall Sometimes times my back is up against the wall so hard that whole building could fall Sometimes I bruise sometimes I break Sometimes I’m true,sometimes I’m fake Sometimes I’m hoping for a moment when the floor would just start opening and swallow me for goodness sake I think I’m gonna break cause I ache and it’s bait I’m awake in a world full of pain superman no cape And I’m pressing the breaks but the breaks they break and I’m driving my universe into a lake And the weight, the weight of the world don’t wait We make mistakes when it’s all at stake We cook out cake we eat our cake Sometimes no time for double takes but (That’s just the way life goes sometimes) But I don’t want to end up in the gutter being battered by my troubles face down in puddle where the sun don’t shine So I’m coming and giving it back, upon the track and attacking ‘em Stacking up beats like I did with this one I pack it in And I’m praying, oh lord take this pain away

I've spent the last 2 days trying to figure out the chords as well lol

[@RenMakesMusic]

David James check out my instagram i made a story on my main feed going through em

[@Tiga1966]

This is without doubt the best version of this song with the angry car park attendant a close second only due to the broken string. IMO the spotify version is over produced. Keep this street style going Ren as it separates you from the rest! Keep it coming!

Couldn’t agree more. This is the best version imo

I’ve just listened to the released version of Blind Eyed and am not going to lie? But the live version is a whole lot better? but that just me,This is the version you have to put out

[@tanjajohansen2832]

Callum Lewis i feel the same

[@robjones1366]

always the case though, doesn't matter the artist, something so magical about live music in the street!

[@M24sMusic]

Capturing the raw talent of a song in the studio and making it have that same soulfulness can fail the best muscians..keep it raw. Keep.it stripped down and don't over produce it..over producing kills the soul of a track. 👍

[@robjones1366]

bang on the money there mate

[@libertyx234]

Live music will always sound different to the official version, you can’t change official released music whereas you can always put a twist into playing it live. I personally think they both sound amazing🤷🏼‍♀️

[@FruitNinja1999]

Nah, i rate this so much more than the actual song. Please release a studio version of this

[@RenMakesMusic]

The live version of blind eyed will be out January 18th this year on all streaming services including spotify/apple music/amazon etc.

[@pmatti01]

Geez, it's like I've been wanting and waiting, for years and years for this. Something fresh, something that's honest, meaningful, original and beautiful. The stripped back approach is perfect. Ironically the raw live imperfection is also much needed, an antidote to so much over-produced run of the mill crap around now. You're bringing heart and soul back into music. May the new. new wave continue.
