Banksy's words, based in Jewish tradition - "they say you die twice, once when you stop breathing, and then later on, when someone says your name for the last time." Ren, Joe means something to all of us now, and everyone is speaking his name.

The way Ren and Chinchilla connect in this duet is so intense and complete that it feels like I’m almost intruding on a private moment. When two talents like this come together, they create a critical mass and make art explode.

[@henry1294]

[@stevenmeyer9674]

Not autotune, but every recording in the past 50+ years has had production corrections and improvements before the recording was finished.

[@drivechannelyt]

It prob does.... Even bands like ZZtop use auto tune . It's a tool like any other. Not every song with auto tune sounds like a robotic Cher.

[@ddevil4980]

​@DRIVE you can hear every inflection in their voice, definitely no autotune. Definitely has compression and auto gain control. But nothing that would effect their pitch.

@@ddevil4980 Just because you can hear inflection doesn't mean there is no auto tune. Lmao

[@moohHa22]

I’m starting to think Ren is just a hallucination from our collective consciousness…. How the heck can this guy keep making songs that resonate so profoundly? He’s amazing. I almost feel guilty I didn’t discover him until Hi Ren but I’m so glad we all know about him now. Genuine talent, a capacity to hit right to the heart of the issue with subtlety. Also how the F has Ren got less than 1M subs?

[@remymontagnon4001]

I'm 100% with you, I discovered him on Hi Ren too.. It was yesterday.. And I can't get him out of my head but I love it so much! Great talent and such good taste for featurings!!

[@hervigdewilde3599]

I saw this impressive "I Shot the Sheriff" busking medley vid a few months ago and then this oddly fascinating "Hi Ren" performance by some Peaky Blinder in a wheelchair - then finally realised a few weeks later that it was the same geezer... - Would Recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@jessicajae7777]

A month later he has over a million now. I subscribed the first song I heard which was Hi Ren also about 2 hours ago and I have just been blown away each minute since and have to really express how fortunate I feel I am that the universe decided I needed or deserved to be gifted with the experience of life with this brilliant being contributing words to thoughts I've had but couldn't quite articulate and all the added genius I could only dream of dreaming up myself which I know I couldn't but definitely have a slot in space time for that I suspect has been reserved for him since before his first thought became one. I'm really relieved that life didn't pass me by without introducing me to this multi faceted artist of all kinds of beauty and pain and awe. Thank you universe.

Ren is without doubt the most original and important artist (and I mean that in every sense of the word!) in music today. As a composer/producer and University lecturer in music I have introduced both colleagues and students to his work. Not one has failed to be completely blown away by his music, talent and artistry. Thank you so much. I wish you peace, happiness and most importantly at this point in your life, good health (both mentally and physically).

[@stuartmcdonagh7245]

Important is too amall a word, I've never been blown away so severely by what one man can do or say. A legend is born.

[@CumulusSkies]

I wholeheartedly agree. I have 41 years of music training and performance experience and it’s been a very long time since I’ve been this obsessed with an musical artist. And the breadth of his abilities and mastery of a variety of genres is astonishing. Speaking of his health, he does have a GoFundMe which I’ve contributed to. If all of us could give even 2-5 pounds towards his healthcare, medical bills would be one less thing he has to worry about. I’m trying to spread the word here and there in case folks aren’t aware. Cheers. :)

[@heatherpound8046]

Ren...if you read this, I want you to understand the impact you are having not just in the musical realm (which is barrier breaking and HUGE) but also on a human level. Your music is reaching and touching so many lives. I am a 39 year old metalhead and I have sobbed like a child listening to your music. Your ability to reach inside and communicate raw emotion so beautifully is a gift. This song brings me back to myself as a teenager, inside that tomb in my head. Thankfully, I was not successful. I now have a thriving, beautiful 16 year old son...there is so much love and wonder in this world. We just have to hang on and wait for the light to shine again. Thank you Ren and Chinchilla, for this moving masterpiece ❤️

[@EzraWithAnA]

Wow so moving. So glad you survive and came through the darkness

[@kristalcornwell]

Ive lived a completely different life to you, but same my friend. I shed tears of pain pleasure anger and sadness to Rens songs. despite the difference between all of us this artistry crosses divides and speaks to all of us. it speaks to humanity. I am, we are human beings.

[@heatherpound8046]

Ren created his own genre and every song hits deeper and different than ANYTHING I've ever heard. And im a passionate music lover for over 40 years. This is the first time i really consider myself a real fan and there are thousands who feel the same. Ren's an amazing director, producer, composer, songwriter, singer, multiinstrumentalist, actor and master of all genres. And don't forget that he does all of this by himself and the help of a few good friends without a huge budget. I think he's comparable to Shakespeare, Mozart or Beethoven. He's one of the greatest of all time and they'll talk about him long after he's gone. To witness something like that is a once in a century event.

[@annholt1087]

I'm 68 and cannot get enough of him!!!!!! Genius is genius, no matter the age or circumstances. A modern-day Shakespeare. As a poster said.....This isn't just music, it's art.

[@SigmaUni38]

That's exactly word for beautifully articulated word how I felt when I heard Ren sing for the first time ever earlier tonight. Hi Ren was my introduction to him and I immediately got excited! He's created something New! Can you imagine I mean that in and of itself but he's Powerful ,raw, intelligent articulate, introspective. I don't mean to rave on but I am genuinely excited for this. And I'm here for it!!

Or do sad eyes blind me? [Chorus: both] Over and over we go Over the hills and the valleys below Oh, and it follows me, follows me home And it suffocates me, hmmm [Post-Chorus: both] Oh, I can't breathe I said oh, I can't breathe All I know is I forgot how to be me [Verse 2: Ren, both] I don't feel safe in these halls There are bruises on the walls There are bodies in the floors And they breathe so loudly I wish I could move Get up and walk right out this tomb Do our saviours die too soon? For my sins surround me [Chorus: Ren, Chinchilla, both] Over and over we go (Over and over we go) Over the hills and the valleys below (Over the hills and the valleys below) Oh, and it follows me, follows me home (Follows me, follows me) And it suffocates me, hmmm [Post-Chorus: both, Chinchilla] Oh, I can't breathe I said oh, I can't breathe All I know is I forgot how to be me Hallelujah Where is my god, where are you?

The sharpness of their sudden stops... 2 people so in tune with each others skill!!! The entirety of the lyrics, attitude to the performance hits on every level. Bloody profound/home hitting!!!!!

[@zeno44]

Is there anything Ren can’t do? Brilliant isn’t a strong enough word. Not only do I love every single release, he’s introduced me to countless amazing artists through his collabs. Amazing.

[@jenniferyelvington1291]

This song gets better every time I listen to it . Something magical happens between Ren and Chinchilla when they perform together. This particular performance moved me to tears . I wish the both of you all the success in the world.

[@RoarinRoots]

Agreed.they are good together. I really enjoyed their "Chalk outlines"

[@nikkel6793]

most musicians use their hands for vocal harmonies. i love how well chinchilla can do it witg eye contact. beautiful

[@traceybeukes4468]

She is lovely.

[@corncutter]

She uses her hands, too. And when she does it close to her or his face it's always a bit scary with her nails^^.

[@tomasamalbert9018]

Imagine being down on the street below hearing these angels sing from above. ❤️

[@wcoasttigger]

This is so beautiful. My sisters son Jess passed away unexpectedly from cancer. Just weeks after diagnosis. The grief is so overwhelming for her and all that knew him. This song represents the intense feelings. He was such a special man. He had cerebral Palsey and she cared for him his whole life. They had a special bond. He was intelligent, great sense of humor and so sensitive and loving. He is missed. To all those who have felt great loss, sending l8ve and light. ❤

[@kellymarie8922]

This might be the most captivating duet that Ive ever witnessed. 2 angels💞

I found you from Justin Hawkins today. I spent the whole day digging through your music. I am stunned. Talent like this comes around once a generation. I’m thrilled to have found you. Truly inspiring. Cheers from Texas, US. (Prayers for you whilst in Calgary) 🙏

As with many others Im on the older side of life,discovered Ren maybe a year ago an was in Oh Phuk moment! Just revisted t nite,an again,Oh Phuk! These 2 together!! Ive heard wonderfull duets over the yrs, but these 2 r beyond My words.. just magic is all i got.

[@jabbazabba23]

I thought the lyric video was so powerful. I watched and listened over and over. But this shit! Watching you two harmonizing, knowing well you’ve both lived behind those walls. Nothing touches this! I’ve been in that house recently, and every time I crawl through that door, there’s the shame that I wasn’t strong enough to stay away. Emasculating. Crippling. Dark. I think the bodies in the floor you speak on is all the times you actually go through with it, in your head. My family keeps me here. My kids keep me here. But I’ve put my body in those floors more than once. Thanks Ren, if nothing else, for being just as God made you.

[@eapinkerton17]

The last line really gave me the chills. My dad killed himself when I was 7 and at times ive felt stuck in place for eternity just for one person's decision in an instant. And i understood the song so perfectly the second time i listened to it after i heard the final line.

[@orangemonsoon1883]

I'm old the best was Stevie nicks n Lyndsey Buckingham until now this is a new feeling 😮

[@robertpfister363]

Whoa! As a 67 year old Canadain retired and living in Zambia, Africa, I came across this incredibly talented young man while surfing KZbin. OMG! This is beyond any simple words I could say at this point! So, yeah, I'm a huge fan. This man speaks from the heart, and anyone listening to him will feel an ethereal pull towards him. Chinchilla is so amazing, her voice is a perfect compliment to Rens, and she is a great singer in her own right! Chinchilla and Ren speak directly to our minds and hearts like few others can. I am humbled immensely by this.

[@Whitehawk-]

These vocals are beautiful, happy to say i've been a Ren fanboy for a year now, you need more exposure, more labels need talent like you

[@joaquingirod5716]

Someone correct if im wrong, but he used to have a label but due to Lyme disease he couldnt abide to the contract so he became an independent musician

[@Hack--rz1io]

More exposure, more visibility, more partnership but please no labels. Having someone overlook the music creation would be terrible

I have noticed a lot of the people, who have been here longer, resonate with Ren’s music 🎧

i do

That fact that this doesn’t have a billion views is absolutely a atrocity ren ur such a role model plz keep it coming ur saving our life’s one song at a time

[@danielguyan1750]

Truth bud. Guy is a genius. Way to big for radio, and brings shame to bigger name's. Shows them all how it's done. Music is from the spirit and should provoke emotions. Amazing loving Ren and Chinchilla they are so in sink fantastic together not anyone else else that could take her place singing with Ren. To me they understand/get each other. And thank you Ren for introducing me to Chinchilla what a violet's and passion

[@SpeakLife406]

Their voices are perfect together they know exactly how to compliment eachother

[@CorgiDaddy2]

Their chemistry is insane.

Maybe not… lucky for us this is not their only duet! Chalk outlines is my current favorite, but I am only just started down REN’s rabbit hole.

@@whimsysmith2835 yes chalk outlines is just as beautiful they mould as one and you really feel their emotions 😍

If we can put McDonald on the Billboard top as number 1, we can put Ren there as well. He is equally deserving and far more talented than corporate musicians these days.

[@sarahmerrifield2394]

I agree!!!

Has MacDonald heard this guy? I think it would be a good "friendship"

Back here watching again a year later, and the lyrics hit my heart in such a deep and different way. ❤️‍🩹 My brother overdosed in the middle of the night almost a year ago. Since then…this has been my life…I still can’t figure out how to be myself anymore and it’s so hard to breathe.

This and Chalk Outlines heal something in my soul that I didn’t know was still broken ❤ Thank you both for this! I love the extra expression that Chinchilla’s nails provide. They’re like an extension of her vocal range and passion

[@hazelcoggane6419]

This is so beautiful the singing the tune the harmony. The words are just unfortunately in my head day and night living in this glass bell jar as I call it is hell, who wants to hear it . Just people on the ren site he has saved so many of us. No pressure just keep being you stay safe and well. ❤😊

[@TheLizItIs]

I think everyone can relate to this. For me it was chasing dopamine and running from my trauma. Ren thank you for helping me find myself again. ❤

[@adrianrios6926]

"Chasing dopamine and running from my trauma"... la mejor forma de explicar una adicción. Gracias por tu comentario tan profundo

[@TheLizItIs]

@@adrianrios6926 I think it’s diff for everyone which makes it so relatable. For me I see the dark talking to the light. He’s begging to see her and she’s right there the whole time. The optimism in her voice compared to the dismal energy of his is amazing contrast.

[@Louiseb21]
