Ren posted the following about this song on June 1: "Today I want to write something beautiful and eloquent but I’ve been staring at my computer screen for the past 10 minutes blankly. So I’ll just write. Today, the 1st of June is my friend Joe’s birthday. I first met Joe when I was 8 years old, my friend Josh said I had to meet this guy, so we both walked over to his, it took about 10 minutes from my house. I was greeted by this kid covered head to toe in freckles, he grinned at us, climbed onto the back of his sofa and screamed “Swanton Bomb!” then front flipped off the top and landed right onto his back on a stone floor. He lay still for a moment, twitched a few times, then got up, grinned at us, brushed himself off, and did it again. This was Joe. He’d do anything to make people laugh. He ended up becoming one of my best friends. He was there when we stole our first cigarettes out of his mums pack, way too young. He was there when I had my first kiss, with a girl twice my size on the back of the 42 bus. He was there when I first got so drunk I threw up in the woods after drinking as much white lightning Cider as we could. I was there when he did his first backflip on skates, and saw him do a 720 off of the pier cave, that moment became legendary. Joe was the funny one in our friend group, he’d make us laugh till it hurt. No one had a bad word to say about him. It was impossible not to like him. Usually we put celebrities, athletes and actors on pedestals, turn them into role models and admire them from a far. The person I admired was Joe. Him and Sagar knew every word to the songs id write, we’d get drunk at parties and they’d be singing along as loud as they could. It gave me a lot of confidence back then. On Christmas Eve 2010 I was sitting in a pub with Joe, he’d been feeling low after a couple of consecutive break ups. He tried to check himself into a mental health outpatient facility a few weeks earlier but they turned him away because he didn’t have an appointment. He turned to me and said that sometimes he wished he could just walk into the sea and keep walking. He said it in a kind of half joking throw away comment type of way, then took a sip of his drink, walked over to the juke box and put Dig by Incubus on. If I knew that was the last time I’d see Joe id have hugged him, told him how much I loved him, how much I looked up to him, how much we all loved him, and I wouldn’t have left that pub. I didn’t know that, so I finished my drink, said happy Christmas and left. Two nights after Christmas I got woken up by a phone call at 3am, it was my friend Ella. She told me Joe was on the Menai Bridge, a large suspension bridge connecting the main land to the isle of Anglesey where we lived. He’d been on the phone to her in tears saying goodbye. He told her to tell everyone he loved them. I pulled on my clothes as fast as I could and started running toward the bridge. It was up a hill. I lived about a ten minute walk away, I could run it in five. As I ran I started dialling then redialing his number. The line was busy, which was a good sign, it meant he was still on the phone to someone. As I got about halfway, the busy tone changed. It told me the line was out of service. I got a sinking feeling and picked up my speed. I arrived to the bridge minutes after I left my house. It was deafeningly quiet. I was the first person to arrive. I got there probably about 2 minutes too late. Joe’s body was never found. Initially we refused to believe he was gone. The coastguard came out that night, with boats, and helicopters. Me and my friends spent the next 10 days putting up missing posters everywhere we could, walking up and down beaches with flashlights, getting about 3 hours sleep a night. When you’re walking up and down a beach with a torch when its dark everything looks like a body. We still haven’t found Joe. As his birthday came around, I wrote a song, freckled angels, a song I dedicated to Joe which I sang in front of his friends and family. A charity football match was put on for him, raising money for the RNLI where I won two bottles of wine in a raffle, I drank them both as quickly as I could, naturally, turned to my friend and probably slurred something along the lines of “This is the last time I ever drink” That was 12 years ago, I haven’t touched a drop of alcohol since. My first ever album I named Freckled Angels in tribute of one of the best people I ever knew. Skip forward some years. I’d been sitting on this song I wrote a few years ago. It always felt a little incomplete. It was going to be my next release, but I was dreading it because of this feeling of incompletion. I decided, very last minute, to do something about it. I sat by my piano, and the rest of the song fell out of me. I hadn’t thought about Joe in a little while, and the song initially wasn’t going to be about him, but the words all fell out of me. I wrote and recorded a whole 2 minutes extra, recording each part as I wrote it. Tears spewing out of my eyes pretty much the whole time, and decided not to do my usual thing of perfecting each line, I just recorded every line as it came. This will be my next release. You can turn on notifications by following the link in the comments below During this campaign I will be raising money for the RNLI, the group of brave men and women who spent hours tirelessly looking for Joe after the night he went missing. I'll also be donating 50% of the profit on all copies of the 'Freckled Angels' album directly to Joes family as a nice surprise gift. I will include links to the RNLI donation page below where 100% of the money will go to support them, I will be travelling to the UK later this month to make a music video, and have carved out a couple of days where I will travel to my home town on the isle of Anglesey to present the royal national lifeboat institution with a cheque of all the money raised."

Ren is someone the world needs to spread the message in a raw form to get the word out about mental health, depression and suicide. I know their have been other artist who have done all that, such as Logic, but none of them had that raw emotion. They didn't cry during the recording and leave it in. It is the second time he has cried on a song. The first one was about Joe, his bestmate, and he cried in that, too. I have seen people leave comments on Ren videos on how he has helped them to finally reach out and get the help. I can't wait for Ren to blow up soon. Proud of the guy, man.

Difficult subject for sure! Ren did an interview with Rolling Stone magazine that came out today. He said in the first paragraph, “Dark topics don’t always have to be ugly and there can be a lot of beauty and richness to be found in those moments,” “Sometimes by facing them fearlessly maybe we can understand them better…”

Ren posted about his friend Joe and the full background behind him and Joe's friendship and what happened to him. This next part is a direct quote from his comment for added context on this song... "Skip forward some years. I’d been sitting on this song I wrote a few years ago. It always felt a little incomplete. It was going to be my next release, but I was dreading it because of this feeling of incompletion. I decided, very last minute, to do something about it.

The album 'Freckled Angels' is about his friend Joe who took his life in 2010. This ending is about Joe. Ren got a call from a friend at 3am one morning, telling him Joe was on the local bridge about to end it. Ren started heading to the bridge running as fast as he could. He was trying to call Joe on the way but the line was constantly busy, then as he was getting to the bridge he tried calling again to be told the number was out of service, his heart sank & as he got on the bridge there was no sign of Joe, and as it says in the song, he's never been found.

Ren wrote Freckled Angels for Joe right after his death. He named his first album for it, and continues to give 50% of the profits to Joe's family. 50% of this one will go to Joe's family too. He's recently said that he's headed back to the UK shortly, and will be stopping over in his home town in Wales. He has collected funds that he will be presenting to the rescue organization that searched for Joe.

As others have said, read the story then re-listen and that last verse hits even harder. The first two verses are really Ren describing the dark times he experienced, how those thoughts crept into his head. The last verse is just a visceral outpouring of Ren’s grief and regret over his friend Joe’s death. Grief is bad enough, combine it with regret and it’s something which will never leave you. Your sentiment is correct, we all have to have this guys back because he’s really really special 👍

Just the fact that he repeats the word Suicide so many times - because it's a subject we have to deal with. That he uses the first 2 verses to tell about how he himself has thought about it; but that it was like there was never "the right time" - Also from there move on to what it did to him that his friend Joe committed suicide. It makes an enormously painful impression. I love Ren and I found this track his most brutal, but also his most vulnerable. I love the lyrics and I love the visual expression ❤

One day I'm going to write a song titled "Hell Ren!?" because every time he fucking nails me. What a great talent!

Freckled Angels and How To Be Me are also both about and for Joe Hughes, his childhood friend.

Thank you for doing this one Jamel, Ren has no bounds, as his health gets stronger, the world won’t be able to ignore him. 2nd coming of Eminem in my opinion. Great reaction, and thank you. Have a great day!

The actual song "Freckled Angels" is a tribute to his friend Joe, which Ren wrote and performed at his funeral.

Great reaction video bro :) really sad stuff though i feel so bad for ren. i will be praying them and for those who lost someone close to suicide. MY co worker killed himself i think. Im not really sure but why was our boss crying a lot when she was telling all of us that he passed away. I also wanna point out her lost his father the last of his family shortly before he passed away. I also remember this dude walking up to me before asking me how im doing and i said im doing good and when i asked him how he was doing he made a weird face and didnt say anything. most likely he did kill himself. my co worker seems to think so he told me before. I got really sad a few times about the guy suicide is really scary and dark and depressing

Watch 'How to Be me" and 'Chalk Outlines' if you haven't already. Similar themes.

Ren obviously blame’s him self for not getting to his friend in time and thinks he should have seen the signs . We all have lost someone and we would have said and done things differently.

Why are we so afraid to face difficult topics...you can say the word...SUICIDE is real & we need to open the door of discussion & be real about its profound effects on those left behind...life is a blessing...if your living a happy one ?

He has 2 other songs freckled angel and how to be me. It was he best friend named joe hughes. He got the call at 3am from a fellow friend and ran as hard and fast as he could to reach the bridge. If he had been 5 min faster he woulda been able to reach him in time. Its guilt he has lived with for 10 years
