A New Ocean Was Made by Ren For Joe Emotional Reaction 

Ren raised £21,000 with donations for his Local RNLI who searched for Joe, which is about $26,000, he also gave a Cheque to Joes Family for £8,500 about $10,500. The Artistry in this piece are stunning, the Visuals, the Lyrics, the Musicianship, Ren is Freakishly Talented but for me his biggest assets are, probably because of what he's gone through, he's thankful for everything he has, and he has a Beautiful Soul.

Ren is 100% Changing the whole Music game all by himself!!!

This guys talent just blows me away.

Awesome reaction as always! Ren filmed this up in Calgary Canada where he's been for treatment. His boy Sam who films almost all of his videos except for the animated videos and Animals flow, but Sam was there for a while and they filmed alot. Ren is back in the UK for a month doing more filming and yesterday was in his hometown back in Whales and gave a check that was originally 14,000 pounds but it blew up so much he gave them 21,000 pounds to the volunteer organization that was out immediately looking for Joe after he jumped and kept looking for him for days. All the proceeds were from his last song, su!cide Then he met with Joe's parents for the first time in 12 years and gave them 8,600 pounds also from the money made from the song. He played them this song, For Joe, said they all cried and hugged. His parents were besides themselves because they've been saving up for a camper van they wanted to name Joe and travel all over the UK and with that money they can finally afford it. He posted news clips from his visit and also bugged people out because in one news interview he was speaking Welsh and people were so confused lol This one hits hard. I've lost too many friends, family and brothers I served with to suicide. And only because of my own stubbornness and not wanting to put my family and friends through the same pain I've suffered with every loss to suicide is the reason I'm still here. I've been getting help through the VA but it's not enough and I don't want meds shoved down my throat because antidepressants made me more suicidal and suffer from brain zaps so slowly I'm getting better. I need to do what so many other veterans have done and do the magic mushroom therapy or a ayahuasca retreat. Listening to Binaural Beats really helps too when my brain goes too haywire. I'll listen to Theta Binaural Beats here on RU-vid and it brings me down into a meditating type state. Sleeping I listen to Delta Binaural Beats and I'm out like a log lol

We are witnessing the most talented and versatile artist this world has seen in my opinion. This guy is talented beyond belief. The world really needs this guy right now. He is a gift to humanity in these dark times.

I truly hope that Ren saw this reaction, because it’s so raw & you didn’t try to hide how much it touched your heart. It, also, shows people that it’s perfectly natural/normal for a song to cause someone to become emotional, & have such a visceral response to it. Thanks for showing me that I wasn’t the only one who cried through the entire song! ❤️ Keep up your amazing work, you two! 🫶🏻

Joe was definitely with him during this giving him the courage he needed Beautiful Tribute

The best way to describe is that Ren is making us REMEMBER our HUMANITY.

You can look through thr comments on any of his community posts and find loads of people saying thank you because if they hadn't heard a song of his when they did, they might not be here anymore. He is definitely affecting lives in the best way, and I'm sure Joe would be proud of that.

I don't know if you have heard the song Freckled Angels that he added at the end, but it was his first song For Joe. He sang it at the memorial service they held in lieu of a funeral. This week, he played this video to Joe's parents and have them the money from the cd sales. They had been saving for a caravan and can now buy it. They are going to call it Joe, so that he can be with them on their adventures. The RNLI eventually received 21k to help their search and rescue volunteers to do for other families what they tried to do for Joe. Together Joe and Ren are saving lives. ❤

This song broke me too ❤❤. He was able to give 21k in the end. His freckled angels part rips my heart I lost my mom in 2019 she was the boat beautiful ginger with the fairest of skin covered in freckles. ❤❤luv yall

Ren will be one of the biggest artists on the world within 12 months and in years to come he will be a legend spoken about in the same way as people like Dylqn, Bowie, Hendrix, the stones and the beatles

There is an acceptance vibe undertone to this song. I hope he finally gets over Joe's suicide. What we witnessed in many of Ren's songs was his long term processing of that event, which ran parallel to his own health struggles. Ren's is a journey of talent and suffering. But, even if it means less art, I do wish him to get over his pains. To paraphrase, it's not a war we have to win, it's a dance. The brighter the light, the darker the shadow. I wish him all the best. May he sing about happier things.

Oh bless you! I was shouting at the screen "Give her a hug!" cos I couldn't lol

Just starting this reaction….but love how you explained how REN has a “magical” ability to express feelings so well ….for those of us that cannot. Blessed are we to have REN as our Earth Angel. ❤

This is such a tough song and you can't help but feel that pain. Your reactions are entirely valid. From this song I do take some positivity. Out of such a tragic situation, Joe impacted on so many people in a positive way and also made Ren the person he is now and he acknowledges that in the song. Whilst that void Joe left can't be filled, what he was has helped positively shape those who knew him. Thank you so much for your reaction.

Suicide is the song that saved me i was ready to end it all and hearing how my friends would feel caused me to stay ive been waiting to see the mental health team for 14 months so far and im struggling more and more but that stopped me ending my struggle and making it someone elses ❤

this is the only reaction of yours i have seen. your facial expressions and tears felt so sincere and and gave the room to do so as well.i felt this.thankyou.

Ren is one of a kind. He's built different. He's a breath if fresh air to music. Touching review. I've cried to both the videos and cried watching the raw emotion to this video.

Sister, I reacted just like you did. When he came in on the piano after the suicide verse, I fell apart. So beautiful, so powerful. ❤

Thanks guys. Pure genius... Btw, Ren gave £21k to the lifeboats...

I feel the same way after losing my wife 39 years ago yesterday. It's been a very long time but I still think of her every day and still miss her like crazy even though I later remarried. It's a hurt that never leaves, that never gets better, you just learn to live with it. I haven't had a single truly happy moment since. I'll be glad when it's over and oblivion finally consumes me.

I can believe how ren has captivated me into his music , he's a genius, there's not 1 song I haven't liked of his..dear god is awesome and heretic..

Hang in there! I promise Ren's next song won't make you cry! Murderer is being released in 2 weeks and he teased on IG a long time ago when he was writing it. It's a really upbeat song with a catchy chorus and lots of fast rap flows!

I felt every word of that...nothing but love for Ren 🔥🙏🔥

I listened to this the day it was released and I’ve been suffering ptsd from war for years and was close to taking my life after it I opened up to my girlfriend were now looking at help this really could have saved my life

Thanks for directing me here from your community page. This is such a great performance.

Great reaction love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍

Absolutely Beautiful reaction, so on point with the message. People should never be ashamed of their emotions or be afraid to share with others, even when times seem the darkest there is always someone nearby that will do the smallest things that make the biggest difference, like just listening, sharing a smile or giving a hug. If you see someone in pain, even if you don't know that person, please take five minutes out of your day just to see if they are alright, it may just save someone's life. Peace.

Absolutely beautiful .... the song .... Ren .... and you two ! Thank you both for your humanity ❤❤🙏

Ren is a angel in a mortal body. Hes up there with the like of lennon hendricks cobain tupac... those people that promote love while the cruel world fights back.

One of the hardest things when someone ends their existence is, in an effort not to cause pain, people stop talking about them. It becomes like the persons whole existence disappears. They become so lost eventually only a few even carry memories of them. What Ren's done is share Joe with the world. He gave the family something precious, the comfort that Joe lived. He is not and will not be forgotten. Even if we didn't know Joe we carry him now too.

I know this feeling too well i hope that thirteen years after i can be as strong as him in knowing that she is okay. Rip Caldonia Rip Joe

You guys did great. Thanks for the tears. Helped me out with mine.

God man give her a hug.🫂

Absolutely beautiful reaction to an epically damning tune... Thank you both for sharing his music. Pls stay wonderfully y'all, y'all.

If you watch the Knox interview Ren intellectually and logically knows there wasn’t anything he could have done that night but emotionally is another thing… the empty cup. But notice there is a bottle of light (lights) to fill the empty cup. The previous produced video was dark and filled with pain and frustration. This starts with that pain but continues with what Joe and all his actions has taught and given Ren. That bottle of light to fill the empty cup. Not only a crafted masterpiece but preformed extremely well with the help from Sam.

I love REN and all of his music. I think I’ve listened to every single song he’s done on RU-vid and then some back from when he was in band. The big push during street performances in England is so talented and gifted and threw him. I found choke outlines where I was first introduced to his collaboration with chinchilla who has now become a massive musical influence in my life as well, the two of them compliment each other so perfectly and chinchilla can bout out notes like a younger Adele plus her style is so fresh and kickin “. I seen Ren in an interview and when asked what genre he considered his music to be, he said it’s Bardcore. Kind of reminds me of the Bard in the Netflix series, the Witcher. His music and storytelling and the way he films everything reminds me of very Shakespearean. I think he is redefining music. I think is the next evolution in music genres and I really expect big things in the future for him

I was sobbing with you n I've watched the video around eight times already ❤

Peace hope and love never end! Thanks for your reaction to Ren's tribute to Joe Hughs with the song For Ren which is for a lack of other words a mash up from S, Dominos and freckled angels it was so sweet so deep and a beauty from his personal tragedy my heart turns to ashes from his bits that was stolen from his soul by the event.😊

She has soooo much more empathy, than him! She's just a far more sensitive soul. ❤

That was a beautiful reaction to such a moving song for Joe! ❤

what a beautiful reaction :) thank you so much for sharing :) :)

Ren raised 15k, but when presenting the cheque, he upped it to 21k. Also, not a huge fan of TS, but she's actually one of very few who actually does write her own songs, but your point is still valid and true. Most musicians do have others write their songs for them.

thank you for reacting and supporting my favourite artist ever sending big love from the UK ❤❤

Thank you! Great reaction.

We all had to take a deep breath both before and after watching this But we are learning in such a beautiful way through his music thst we are connected in these feelings and there should never be any shame in showing them... It can only bring us together, like we are supposed to be. RIP Joe .. you have left such a beautiful legacy that will never be forgotten. ❤

And the piano. Holy s--- by God the talent, it's so beautiful.

You two are just the best. Stay awesome!

Loved this reaction, it really got to me! Thank you for your raw emotions!

With every reaction ive watched i cry everytime. So good. I needed this song.

your not only one that got too im 6Oyear old man and seeing you cry i did too as i seen it many times and still its so lovely the way he sings plays and the words ,,,it will hit you loved it

New sub here, touched deeply but your honest raw emotional reaction ❤

Such wonderful you folks are, heart felt reaction.

Love the reaction, I love your love for Ren because it mirrors our families love for him. I say it all the time, we are so fortunate to be living in a time with Rens music. It must have been how those going to the theatre to watch Shakespeare’s works, or hearing the stories of the adventures straight from Christopher Columbus. We are so blessed.

im a special needs person. and as a child I had a dog, he was my rock, going through alot he was there constantly, i lost him about 3 years ago, at 17 years old, and the pain still hasn't left my heart, but Ren, and this song, has allowed me to process the loss, I'll never forget him, and it will never not hurt, but hes happier now, and when i do finally grow my wings, ill be able to see him again. but till then, I can only let him live through me, live for the life that was lost and even though he was just a dog, I'm gonna do everything in my power to be a person he would be proud of.

cried with you.....shout out from South Africa

Great honest and Raw reaction, thank you. Ren is an absolute genius that I believe is the greatest artist across any generation. Especially at breaking barriers to discuss things that matter and draw true emotion. There is so much you haven’t listened too please keep diving in the rabbit hole for Ren. Peace

He was singing this live in front of Joe’s parents while he was getting treatment in Calgary 🇨🇦 The freckles refer to his childhood friend being a red head. Just a beautiful tribute for Joe’s parents and a gift to our whole for all our journeys ❤

The man next to you, knows you so very well. Cherish that. It only took him a glance to know how to comfort you with his Not trying to. I send my thoughts.

21,000 plus actually! Plus almost 9000 to Joe's Mom!

Cry on, girl. Add your tears to the ocean 🥹💜🫂

tst awwwe...Queen Taylor 🥺❤❤

It's OK.. Blessing & friendship. All we have is each other, when we forget that we will all fall away.

Miss Queen (I guess), you are so Empathic it s scary, I got emotional looking at you. Mr McKnight you and your lady are such kind souls. incredible how this Guy Ren gets so many together through his songs and these reactions/ you guys are awesome!

1sr time watching you two. Great reaction to such a beautiful song. Please give that woman a great big hug...she felt every bit of that song. I was crying along with her. Ren does that to you...I'm a huge fan of his ..what a very special person Ren is to be able to convey such raw emotion that we all feel when we lose someone special. Love from Ireland.❤

Such a beautiful emotional tribute ❤😢

Ren is the master of bringing us all back down to reality ❤️ Beautiful reaction guys xx

I kindof love you two x

Lovely reaction ❤️

your reaction was the best and the emotion Ren invokes is nothing to be ashamed of.

It's OK to cry

he raised £21000...for Rnli ....who are all volunteers and searched a full week for Joes body ....They're an awesome bunch and don't get the funding and recognition they deserve ...😢❤

When people look back from the future at this time they will be watching us watching Ren emerge. And make no mistake, they will be watching, just like we look back at Shakespeare or The Beatles. Ren is THIS epoch's genius, our genius, and as we share this journey with him he isn't distant and remote, separated by time and space, he's right here with us, and we with him. This is what video sharing was made for, to allow a man like Ren to shine through his videography and music, not get swallowed up and destroyed by the evil corporations that seem to turn everything grey and lifeless. Ren is a bright spark in a drab world, and if that spark lights us up we should let everyone see the fire, tell everyone that there is hope, there is beauty, that we are OK, that we can suffer the pain and survive it, and grow to respect it for what it tells us about ourselves. We can transcend. Ren's art says, it's OK to be us, and that's not nothing.

Ren is so very talented ❤❤❤

Hi Crest Crew, it broke me too! ❤️💔👍🇬🇧 Ren raised £21K for the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) even the BBC News covered that and RENs life story, which was great exposure for Ren.

Beautiful comments ❤

I told my story of my attempt.. hell, I can't even say attempt because I followed through.. 12 yrs old, in an abusive home. I ran away, went to throw rocks at my best friend Aaron's window so I could say goodbye. Then I ran off, climbed a tree, tied the rope, and jumped. I was unconscious but awoke to see Aaron's face right in front of mine. He had brought me back. He took a jagged rock and hammered away at the rope to get me down. Had he of not done that, I wouldn't be here. This was in 1992, sadly 13 yrs later my best friend was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver. I was so angry, so hurt. It should have been me gone and him still here... I want to join him right then but I waited till we buried him. Seeing his Mom (he was her only child) so broken, distraught and thinking of my Grandma who raised and how she would react, I decided then & there I would live my best life FOR Aaron, he didn't have a say in his demise... I had NEVER told that story, till I watched Ren's song Suic!de. As much as it makes me uncomfortable to talk about such a dark time in my life, I knew I had to let it out. My family didn't even know about the attempt because I ran away. I eventually went to my Grandparents house and they took me in and took over raising me. I got through it all. Even tho now I am suffering from Chronic illness, I still fight! For Aaron, RIP brother

That piano omg thanks guys:)

Wow.....in tears...thank guys

Beautiful. Ren gave well over his stated target to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. (RNLI) and a good bung from his album sales to Joe's family.

How do I find the words, both for REN’s music, and Queenie’s reaction. As soon as this started watching I knew this was going to reach somewhere deep into your and my heart. Thank you both.
