I grew up in the same village as both Joe and Ren, they were inseparable and always up to mischief. Ren would have this cheap 3/4 sized acoustic guitar he carried around everywhere with him. All the years later this song still gets me.

Joe sadly took his life. In the live performance he messed up on the guitar because he was trying to hold it together I believe. In Ren's song Dear God, he sings about losing two friends before he turned 25 and fighting suicidal thoughts himself. Another son of true emotions and artistry. One of my favorites has to be Crutch featuring Bibi, his former girlfriend. It will move you. But, if you do a reaction, please read Ren's message in the description so you understand the meaning of his art in that song. I'm not saying you do this, but when Ren takes the time to share how he came to write a song channels should respect him enough to read what he wrote so they know the meaning of his lyrics. His birthday is tomorrow, 29th. I think he'll be 34. Debuting a new song. He wrote about it on his community page.

Ren Sang this at Joe’s funeral 🥲

RIP Joe, nice reaction guys, his other Song for Joe is, Ren x Chinchilla song "How to be Me"(Live), that is an incredible Performance with Rens Tears at the end of the Song showing how much he misses his Friend, make sure you watch the Live version

Joes suicide was an event that has haunted Ren ever since and still plays on his mind. It was a beautiful song. Ren X Chinchila 'how to be me' (live) is a perfect song, much more recent, and it again refers to Joe " When he gave up the fight' a quick decision in the night, that stayed with me for all my life. I miss you so." Ren has such depth to his soul. Its a sad truth that so many genius musicians have such troubles...

It feels like he’s rushing so he can finish before he loses it… 😢

Thanks to Ren, thousands of people know Joe's name, and help Ren's voice carry the love for his friend across the world. Joe Hughes, RIP. He was never found, but thanks to Ren his name will not be lost.

I like the recorded version done live also. He sings with more emotion in that one . This live one is like he's trying to get through the song without crying which is totally understandable. Who am I kidding. EVERY song he does is spectacular!

If it could not get worse/sadder in the recent Knox interview he goes into Joe and it is even more tragic and how he could not get to him in time and much more....cheers for posting.

Ren via Wikipedia: Ren started a duo called Trick The Fox. He was discovered by a talent scout in 2009, when the two were busking, and in 2010, he signed a record deal with Sony Records. In 2013, Trick The Fox was listed as one of the acts performing at Beach Break Live 2013 and their music began to receive airplay. The first time they heard one of their songs on the radio was December 2013, when BBC Radio 1xtra played their song Twista. Sony Records later dropped Ren when he was diagnosed with an illness that affected his ability to perform.

Thank you for reminding people to give the flowers now. We get busy and forget that a little too often.

This for me is rens most beautiful song I've lost more friends from suicide as I did in war who never got the help they needed when we came home ,heart breaking and warming song 💔

Beautiful, respectful. Did you notice he almost cried whilst introducing the song? Great talent with a great heart.

I had only heard the studio version (which you might want to listen to just for yourselves), so this was a treat! He looks so young, but still mesmerizing. ❤ thank you

Nice reaction guys. You should look at How To Be Me, if you haven't already. Same subject.

Musically the studio version sounds better, but there’s something beautiful about him performing this song live and only 8 months after the loss. It’s a bit of a mess as it sounds like he is rushing it in places, but who can blame him? I’m sure it’s tough to be able to get through this performance at all. Ren shows some real strength here.

Subbed to you, cause i really enjoy your reactions😊😊😊

This one and How to be me really reaches into my soul after my mom was killed in January 😢😢

Joe sadly took his own life at the age of 19 (jumped off the Menai bridge around 3.00 a.m. on 28 December 2010). Beautiful photograph of them together on your table.

I think he was doing everything he could just to get through it

Love your reaction and message at the end, guys. Knowing the backstory before you watch the video makes it more poignant, and sad. Tears everytime I listen to this.

Thanks Daniel, this is a new one for me too.....and its not the money that got them to do this song, its what got them to do this song NOW, lol.

Hi guys great reaction and thanks for all the information love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍

Such a beautiful tribute. Something we can ALL relate to…the loss of someone close to us. Absolutely love Ren. Thanks for the reaction. Have a wonderful day, week… ✌🏻🙏🏻❤️😊

If you want a brutally honest and scathing indictment of our shallow indoctrinated society, please listen to “Dominoes” (official lyric video) by Ren! ❤

What's interesting is, the Ren x Chinchilla song "How to be Me".....the LIVE version, everyone thinks it's filmed on top of a roof/building .....it's actually filmed on top of a bridge. I'm not sure if it's THE bridge, but it is A Bridge. "How to be Me" ends with this verse: "When he gave up the fight A quick decision late in the night That stayed with me for all of my life I miss you so" Which is a direct tie in with "Freckled Angels" and Joe Hughes.

How to be me song with chinchilla is about Joe also 💔 rip Joe 💙 Sweet little lady live acoustic version by Ren's band The big Push. Hope you guys do more Ren & The big Push. He deserves every success coming his way 🔥💚🔥

"How to be me" is written about a friend who committed "un-aliving". He & Chinchilla performed it live on the same place his friend did it.

Don't forget Ren's birthday tomorrow and new song.. 🎉 can't wait!!! 💚 Rip Joe 💙

Ren is just so open and vulnerable in sharing his deepest emotional struggles! Please check out some really fun Ren music - Love Music parts 1-3. Clever, funny, and so Ren! Thank you!

Unfortunately Jo committed self death one day and its so hard for ren

Good reaction - thank you. Now time for a happy Ren song? (Yes, he does those too!) I suggest Bongo Bong, or Wade in the Water, with his band The Big Push. Then, How to be Me. There's just so much!!! :)

I forget where I had heard this, so take it with a grain of salt and forgive me if im incorrect, but i believe Ren was one of the people that he called from the bridge and Ren couldnt get to him in time. This is why it weighs on him so deeply.

Great Reaction! The song itself tries to be so upbeat, but you just feel the struggle within him to try and finish it. Happy Birthday Ren and Happy Premiere Day to all the Ren fans!🥳❤🎉

Have a listen to Patience 🙂

Ren😢😢😢😢❤

I’m so glad you added the bridge info. Ren & Chinchilla do a live song on this bridge called How to be me. It’s beautiful too.

He's going to be 33 tomorrow

Uncle Dan drops a dono for more ren.. ✌️✌️

I thought the same, under 20 writing lyrics like that powerful! Reminds me of a young Bernie Taupin writing “Your Song”. Thanks for searching out the backstory too, and all the great pictures.

Hello my guys.

Cedrick and Brian. What’s up guys. Hey Don’t know if you’ve done it yet but. He did another song it’s called “For Joe” y’all need to check this out… hits hard fair warning

I have heard this song not this version. Only 8mts after and I was in tears before it started. Always keep your glasses close with Ren, I hope you will always be true, maybe one day you will be able to let those glasses go and feel safe showing the emotions to all. Peace and love

You should both put 100.00 in a hat and the first one to cry

I'm bawling my eyes out 😢

is it bad i feel like ed sheeran stole rens vibe on this song❤❤

Another song written about Joe is " how to be me" please please listen to it ❤❤❤ Thanks guys

❤

I’m an Englishman and it’s been a Friday night. but I come home to my two favourite faces . i’ve never checked out reviews before. sometimes you learn sometimes you leave it on the floor. i’m watching you now black-and-white Tom Adam dax. i’ve heard it before. but watching tou to . your personality is really shines through lots of love I’m going to keep following A blessing from England keep holding that smile people like you help us go the extra mile🙏🏾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Damn. Crying. Love this young man. I’m Welsh too.

My home is Pentraeth 10 mins f4om Menai Bridge, its the name of the bridge that connects our island to the mainland but also the name of the town underneath it

Ren was born in Wales and has lived most of his life in England. All the Big Push stuff is recorded in Brighton England where Ren now lives

He was born in Wales, but is based in Brighton. I have very close friends in Wales, and Ren does not have a Welsh accent whatsoever, which leads me to believe that he was born in Wales and the family moved early in his life.

❤❤❤ren❤❤❤

"ace-est mate" = the bestest of friends; number 1 (the ace) of friends

You need to react to dear god by ren!!! It’s a deep dive video that is a little older but it is right up this alley!!!

comment

Something about age and how we react, bless you both, sending love

react to seb lowe The London Song

I see you have only done a few Ren reactions and was wondering out of all his many songs why you choose this one? Then you mentioned thanks to someone for the pay, now I see why it came up. I'm new to this and didn't know money was exchanged, I thought only (you tube) paid you with subs, likes or something like that.

JUST a great skater?!

Is that Joe playing the Bongo drum behind Ren in the "Power of Unity" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GdmodP7ZCsM.html

💔

First thing I've heard of Ren that I like ....not necessarily lyric wise but sonically, I can't stand what I've heard so far, like probably 6 before this... just some of the worst music I've ever listened to, I can catch that has lyrics but I can't make it more than a minute usually. This is a good song all around tho.

Hi, when Ren says the song is dedicated to Joe from Menai Bridge, he's referring to the town. The Welsh name for the town is Porthaethwy, but the English name given to later on is based on Menai suspension bridge, hence calling the town Menai bridge. Can be confusing when people aren't sure if an event has happened on the bridge itself or the town and reading about it in English. Welsh is spoken by the majority of people on the island and it's easier to distinguish between the two in Welsh as you have Bont Borth (Menai suspension bridge) and Porthaethwy (Menai bridge town). I've seen a lot of people mention that How to be was filmed on the bridge. It wasn't, there's a narrow walkway alongside the road, wouldnt be enough space for that setup (plus there's the noise of the cars you'd need to cancel out). You can see what I mean on the photo onthis link www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi2-prod.dailypost.co.uk%2Fincoming%2Farticle25902261.ece%2FALTERNATES%2Fs1200c%2F0_Welsh-Government-engineers-inspect-one-of-the-hangers-to-be-repaired-on-the-Menai-Suspension-Bridge-Picture-Dale.jpg&tbnid=fHCyASdKRgWuPM&vet=12ahUKEwi82tbtjLz-AhUkkScCHVpLCXcQMygZegUIARCaAg..i&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailypost.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fnorth-wales-news%2Fwork-fix-safety-issues-menai-25902340&docid=D7bJ0sB5-hD9DM&w=1200&h=1200&q=menai%20suspension%20bridge&ved=2ahUKEwi82tbtjLz-AhUkkScCHVpLCXcQMygZegUIARCaAg

Somber!
