Ren - Genesis 

My wife, who's Welsh, turned me on to Ren. Now I'm totally addicted. Such a great combination of music , lyrics, vibe. Some of the greatest new music ever. Keep it coming!

I am 58 and have always loved music and love to keep up with what is going on in the world of music. Listening to non-mainstream genres has always been my thing and when I hear people say there is no good music out there these days well, yer not digging deep enough THERE IS!!! Ren is a complex myriad of pain and happiness, depression and euphoria shooting from the belt. Love this man...don't stop please.

I don't think I have ever listened to an artist as much as i have since i have found Ren. The more i learn about him, the more these songs speak to me. Lyrical genius. Using his voice as an instrument like no one before.

I honestly don’t know why this geezer isn’t a worldwide star he’s soo talented…genius artist well done again ren

I am a therapist/mental health doc and your lyrics are so relatable, understandable, and quite honestly what many of my conversations sound like in the therapy room. Deep, insightful. I can see you are a deep thinker Ren.

We are lucky to have singers like Ren in this new generation!❤️

I am completely obsessed with this guy’s talent… in a matter of a single song I accidentally played a few hours ago when my phone tumbled into my lap. Perhaps it wasn’t an accident; it was a synchronicity of the highest order.

Ren I,m 68 yrs. Old ,Man u FUCKING BLOW ME AWAY. I DIDN,T HEAR YOUR MUSIC UNTILL A WEEK AGO ,U AND UR PEOPLE AMAZE ME !

Let's be honest, we all already knew it was going to be a work of art 🖤

Ren’s amazing, but these single shot videos are extraordinary.

Everytime I listen to this I find new meaning! Ren is more of a genius than we know yet

He literally speaks the words I cannot find myself

This man needs more recognition! He's a lyrical genius and an amazing musician. How is the world sleeping on him. I'm from New Zealand so it reached the other side of the world. But he deserves to uplifted and shown off

Oh god don't you love it when you discover a new artists that you know you will listen to exclusively for next months nonstop?

Pretty much discovering Ren now, and this is my favorite new piece by him. What I find fascinating about Ren (apart from his multi talents) is the fact that even though he's handsome and charismatic, he does'nt rely on that at all. His work, his passion and his laser focus is what he brings to his music. He shows us a lot of himself, but doesnt sell the superficial. I find that bloody refreshing.

Who else watches this everyday

Dude. I'm 26 year old, I've been fighting my ADHD and chronic depression my whole life, and I'm struggling with drug addiction right now, and it's not often I feel like it hits home when people try to say that they understand, but this? It hit me like a brick. It's like you've been digging out my thoughts and made art out of it. It also makes me so sorry to know that you are, or have been, somewhere dark enough for this to be created. I hope you're fighting, and god I REALLY fucking hope you don't stop making music, you're definitely going places. Your talent with words and flow is crazy, seriously. Thank you for sharing your art with us. ❤️

I am a 70 year old nana and I think your work is extraordinary. I also think that you are gifted and talented in the way you see the world and make art out of it. Keep doing what you are doing. You are making a difference.

I'm almost 70 & have been involved with the Music scene in Texas for 50 + years.. I've seen many talented musicians come & go, but have NEVER been more moved by an artist & the shear Talent of Ren. Favorite band of all time is Led Zeppelin ( real innovators ) & Ren has taken a Place Right At The Top of my list along with them. I Pray for you Ren that you recover from your illness , God had a plan for you enduring it, & you are fulfilling your True Destiny.

I’m leaving this comment here so every time someone replies I will get a notification just to remind me about this masterpiece. (PS thank u for the love u r showing on my music videos 🖤)

When I’m by myself I find my mind starts drifting somewhere else, It’s not inside this dimension, it's definitely somewhere else, I wrestle with my thoughts, constant wrestle with my mental health, I’m put on life-support I’ve been put upon the highest shelf My whole life I’ve been fighting This cake it don’t have icing These mantras I’m reciting They’re meant to keep me sane I don’t know if they’re working Cerebral cortex hurting Maybe it’s all learning? Maybe it’s cause… Life is a lottery, What an anomaly Sometimes its riches and sometimes its poverty Sometimes your nerves have been fried by neuropathy begging the surgeon to have a lobotomy, honestly, I’m a speak honestly, honestly, life is ironically fucking me chronically I have been ill in myself and it bothers me, License for killing myself, call me Connery Ah, I’m a be straight with you now I’m a go straight for the heart Pupils dilate in the dark people die-late in the dark Noah was late for the ark Hmm Noah was late for the ark genesis rain and it rain when it starts Genesis pain in the art Genesis aim for the heart Genesis Genesis When I’m by myself i find my mind starts drifting some where else, its not inside this realm of though its definitely somewhere else, Wage war upon my deamons i’ve been knocking on the gates of hell A heretic, a heathen i’ve been screaming in this padded cell its pain making, my pain waking, its painstakingly cold My soul aching my bones breaking when holding onto control Wrap yellow tape round the body shape - put the body in the bag zip close It’s malignant, its mutating, it’s such a sight to behold Ah ha, mh hm let me be real for a second, mhm tongue is a gun its a weapon, hm reload blat, blat ,dead em Mh hm beast mode, armageddon get em let me take the wheel for a second hit a hoop like Shaquille O’Neal with aggression regroup with a three point steal in succession Sswish swoop and I’m making them feel the profession Making them feel the profession Making them feel the profession Time is the author, the lesson Time is a murderous weapon Time is a curse and a blessing Time is confined in the eye of my mind That reminds me that life is just slipping right by, Take my piece of the pie And then feed and unwind I find freedom in rhymes To defy my depression I’m a be straight with you now I’m a go straight for the heart Pupils dilate in the dark people die-late in the dark Noah was late for the ark Hmm Noah was late for the ark genesis rain and it rain when it starts Genesis pain in the art Genesis aim for the heart Genesis

I had stopped listening to almost all music, I have a Playlist now, and it's name is Ren. Thank You.

Another reminder of this masterpiece...not that i suspect you need reminding. I'm sure its sublime geniuses is forever etched on your mind never to be ever forgotten. In the absence of the ability to personally express a truth long comes Ren to touch the truth within and validate it ...with deep reverence and humble thanks to Ren.

This is not music...it's Art.

Ren is seriously the most talented musician that I know, I hope one day he gets the mass recognition he deserves!

Bro... The beat, the lyrics, the flow, the video, everything about this is just INSANE. WTF REN YOU'RE THE GOAT BRUHHH

I just have to say it. this man is a legend.

Every Ren song is an adventure, journey into the unknown.

Making me wait 6 days for probably a masterpiece is just torture, can't wait to see it

I didn't find any comments with the lyrics of the song so I just did it myself: When I'm by myself I find my mind starts drifting somewhere else It's not inside this dimension It's definitely somewhere else I wrestle with my thoughts Constant wrestle with my mental health I'm put on life support I've been put up on the highest shelf, ah My whole life I've been fighting This cake it don't have icing These mantras I'm reciting They're meant to keep me sane I don't know if they're working Cerebral cortex hurting Maybe it's all learning Maybe it's 'cause life is a lottery What an anomaly Sometimes it's riches and sometimes it's poverty Sometimes your nerves have been fried by neuropathy Begging the surgeon to have a lobotomy Honestly, I'ma speak honestly Honestly, life is ironically fucking me chronically I have been ill in myself and it bothers me License for killing myself, call me Connery, ah I'ma be straight with you now I'ma go straight for the heart Pupils dilate in the dark People die late in the dark Noah was late for the arc, hmm Noah was late for the arc Genesis, rain and it rain when it starts Genesis, pain in the art Genesis, aim for the heart Genesis Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Genesis Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne When I'm by myself I find my mind starts drifting somewhere else It's not inside this realm of thought It's definitely somewhere else Wage war upon my demons I've been knocking on the gates of hell A heretic, a heathen, I've been screaming in this padded cell It's pain making, my pain waking It's painstakingly cold My soul aching, my bones breaking When holding on to control Wrap yellow tape 'round the body shape Put the body in the bag, zip, close It's malignant, it's mutating It's such a sight to behold Uh-huh, mm-hmm Let me be real for a second, mm-hmm Tongue is a gun, is a weapon, hmm Reload, bla-bla, dead 'em, mm-hmm Beast mode, armageddon, geddon Let me take the wheel for a second Hit a hoop like Shaquille O'Neal with aggression Regroup with a three-point steal in succession Swish, whoop, and I'm making 'em feel the profession Making 'em feel the profession, making 'em feel the profession Time is the order, the lesson Time is a murderous weapon Time is a curse and a blessing Time is confined in the eye of my mind That reminds me that life is just slipping right by Take my piece of the pie and then feed and unwind I find freedom in rhymes to define my depression I'ma be straight with you now I'ma go straight for the heart Pupils dilate in the dark People die late in the dark Noah was late for the arc, hmm Noah was late for the arc Genesis, rain and it rain when it starts Genesis, pain in the art Genesis, aim for the heart Genesis Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Genesis Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne Ah-ne-ne-ne-na-na-na-na-na-ne-ne-ne

Came across Rem today (thanks Pat)...Loving it, I have no words seriously. Creativity is like on 200% keep doing what you're doing. RESPECT

How he hasn’t completely blew tf up is beyond me his music is magical an can we talk about that voice?!🥵its like angels singing an the beats that are changing continuously like he can obviously do it all now if only everyone can jump on this bandwagon and show him the love his music deserves !

Ren is SUCH a freaking breath of fresh air. I hate the hand of cards he was dealt with ally heart, but he's made some legendary art out of that hand. What a legend 🧡

Ren's accountant: " So how much do you need to fund the next music video?" Ren: "IDK like, six quid?" Accountant: "What?" Ren: "I'm hungry and my friend owns an IPhone."

This song is straight up genius

"Pupils dilate in the dark, people die late in the dark" this dude 😮

I just want more and buy album

im 16 and i’ve suffered with mental health for 6 years now. I feel like it’s only getting worse. But your music and the words make me feel like i’m not alone

Genesis is breathtaking. Lyrics, music, man.

I'm a 50something here in the shit hole US. Just found Ren. Better than anything my psychiatrist ever prescribed, better than I ever got at a party. ❤

Legend has it the chips were still at the table till this day, left untouched, still hot and fresh for some reason

I've had Ren on repeat for months now. No music resonates as much as this music for me right now.

Ren is literally the only musician that I would want to meet in person, its never been something that has interested me with others but the impact he has had on my life and so many others is phenomenal. Honestly I don't know if I'd have made it through this last year without your music. Much love Ren

Seriously one of the most talented artists this century and up there with the best. True poet, lyricist, writer, musician, actor, and artist. Keep it up mate; you will go down in music / art folklore!

“Pupils dilate in the dark, People die late in the dark” Love that line for some reason. Great play on words I guess.

Ich bin Schock verliebt in diesen Mann 😮 deine Songs sind so einzigartig und außergewöhnlich ❤

Ren is amazing. wish I would’ve found him sooner. What an amazing musician and songwriter, and the dudes charisma is off the charts. And to do a lot of this stuff live in one take? That’s unreal. He has it all and does it very well

Bruh each of this dude's songs is a masterpiece!

I get shivers. This guy will be known as a genius in years to come. Power to you.

CO, US here... I just stumbled across one of your songs and I've been going down a Ren binge for the last 2 hours. I never do this. Your music has captured me, bro! Keep it up!

"Pupils dilate in the dark, people die late in the dark"... damn he's a Maestro

leaving this comment so I can come back and visit soon. Ren is a master of his art I wish more people knew about him

As someone here with chronic illness that makes being a conscious body a living hell, Ren's talent and willingness to share it with us is a freaking gift!! Best medicine for this "way of life". (You inspire me to dive into my own "art" again for survival. Many thanks Ren!!) Your talent and strength is beyond words! Thank you for never giving up ✨💜

From a girl who used to live and work in bars in Brighton.. it's a beautiful place that makes some beautiful people.. you are one of them. Big love, Ren, i and many others love your music and are hoping you're ok and get better soon. We appreciate you 🙏 ❤️ 😊 xxx

"Pupils dilate in the dark. People die late in the dark" 👌🏼

Ren I fckin LOVE YOU, you’re a generational talent my boi.. I’m SO excited for the magic you’ll make in the future

I’m so excited for this! The guitar in all ren’s songs is absolutely beautiful.

Hi Ren! You have a brand new 64y/o fan here who grew up with The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Boston, etc.. For me, very little of today’s music compares (have to look outside the mainstream usually to find rare gems). I just discovered you tonight through a reaction channel, showcasing your spectacular, ground-breaking, AMAZING Hi Ren. Now I’ve seen your brilliant version of Bittersweet Symphony and this heartbreakingly gorgeous song with your (fabulous) duet partner, showing more of your melodic songwriting skills and vocal ability. You are truly special! You are touching people - those who share their own struggles and those who just love great music! I’ve read of your ongoing medical struggles in Canada and wish you miraculously great results! Now I’m diving down the rabbit hole of your music/channel and will imminently be downloading your music on Spotify. I just had to take a moment to thank you for your artistry and your vulnerable humanity! Be well! ❤️✌🏻✌🏻❤️

Played this in the car at the traffic lights I had a pair of older women let me know how good this track was spreading the word of REN ❤️🥰

Hi Ren. I absolutely love your music. Perhaps I might be your oldest fan. Your lyrics and delivery are amazing. Your insights (smfh) are deeply moving. You relate to people in a way that is unique and intelligent. As a songwriter I admire you. As a human who has experienced life for a bit, I respect you. I wish you peace, harmony and wellness. Much love to you Ren. ❤

Everything Ren's got to offer I'll take. Safest hands in British music currently. We're very, very lucky to have him.

You always put out so greatly directed videoclips, even in one take. Looks like this is also going to be stuck in my head for a while. Thank you for being a musician, mate ❤

I started listening REN by accident, now I am obsessed. I started painting at the same time, cause my mind is constantly thinking, there is constant flow of thoughts. And right now my only way how to stop the thoughts and relax, is to play RENs music a paint. It's ultimate relax for my mind and I thank him for that. It's not surprise that my paintings closely knit to his music. Some of them are colorful and full of life. Some of them are dark. Like my thoughts. I am grateful to him for that. That finally me and lot of other people are understood. ( not english speaking person here). Please never stop REN 🙏

Im 37 and on Saturday i was found basically dead in bed was resusitaten and luckily for me they got me bk.. i was listening to Rens music before but now for some reason his words give me real goosebumps.. this week has been scary uncertain and definitely the hardest ive ever had BUT this mans music definitely has been getting me through it!

OMG REN! I have JUST found you! I'm 60 and want to say...I'M PROUD OF YOU for realizing you have a PURPOSE! I know it TOUCHES me! 🤷‍♀️🤗 I'm spreading this🔥🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶as much as I can! STAY STRONG and KEEP FIGHTING! 💪💪✌️❤️🥰🇺🇸 Can't WAIT for the NEW DROP!😁😎

Great song but take a step back and really watch, he did this in one continuous take, Well done to you and your crew mate.

It Never gets old.

God, I love this song. He does such a great job of speaking what so many of us are going through.

This is art of the highest caliber. He didn’t lie, he did in fact aim straight for the heart. His music is tippy top tier. I love everything that you’re doing for us Ren. This world needed your messages, I can say that I do.

how is ren not num 1 in music everywher

A fucking legend. Got the feeling Ren is a prophet like those before....Tupac...Bob Marley...etc. He's fucking special

Ren again and again. Hell and back again to find the Zen. Thank you Ren. Incredible!.

2.3 million views man that’s just amazing ❤

No matter how many times I listen to this tune REN You hit a nerve with this one BROTHER 🔥 Umm umm GENIUS

Thanks Ren,my partner is going through hell at the moment with undiagnosed symptoms that elude the medical world. You, your strength and music have helped her battle day to day knowing she,s not alone. I love your talent music and tapestry you weave through your music. Pure joy to us both. Ben.

WHY DOES REN MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO BE ENGLISH LETS GOOOOO 🎉❤

One my favorite tunes of Ren and in the past 20 years.

This is one of my favorites ❤️

Better than nearly everything out there.. save for Ren's own catalog :) Watching this the day after the Grammy's... This blows away anything I saw last night... and those were some excellent tracks created. Ren is in a separate category the Grammy's have yet to understand.

Ren has started a Genesis in music,and we are here the first ones on the arc,set off on this journey,he is going places.And even if we all got drowned in the flod,it was already worth the ride.thank you Ren🙏

Definitely my favorite artist, you're so good. Thank you for such great music, keep going man 🔥

Love you Ren. Just know your art is helping people going through tough stuff like myself.

I'm 100% positive if this was released today, it would be his most watched newer video besides Hi Ren. It is definitely his best rap/hip hop song.

You’ve saved my life on multiple occasions of thinking there wasn’t a way out of my bipolar. Thank you Ren You’re unique and will go far in life xx

listened to violet's tale a while ago and i was obsessed immediately. now this came out and once again, goosebumps. ren is a genius

This boy is a blessing for the music industry 🙏🏻 Greetings from Germany ❤

I'm 33 years old and just wanting to live a quiet life, Ren helped me through many struggles, and now luck is always on my side.

❤❤❤❤❤ you are amazing!!! Much love!! Your music has helped me in so many ways

Like a lot of people, I fell down the Ren rabbit hole (after Hi Ren was posted in a discord I frequent about a week ago). Of course I was immediately blown away by your talent and moved by your story. But as a poet myself, with a love for wordplay, I’m completely knocked on my ass, legitimately speechless. “Pupils dilate in the dark/People die late, in the dark” is brilliant, and that’s just one of many! So add a 55 year old woman in Nashville TN to your ever growing fan base.

My 40 year old analogue amp loves ths song so hard.

Talented and inspirational messages in the music, he deserves more recognition, making music with a deeper meaning. True artist

okay but why doesn't this have 100+ million views? The lyricism of Ren is up there with Goats.

I had no idea I was missing intelligent rap in my life. The spring depression is gone

True Talent, absolute Genius.

Who knew Thomas Shelby had such bars. Big ups to Ren.

I'm 55 have had depression since November 1997 sometimes the battle feels never ending and unwinnable and then on the odd occasion I hear music that reminds me I'm not alone in this battle that has no winners or losers just survivers. Thank you Ren for giving me hope!

Lyrically and musically beautiful ❤😎

The line "Life is ironically f***ing me chronically" is so painfully perfect. It's like Ren was blessed with an unusual amount of talent but to almost reign it in, the Universe made him sick.

Every song by ren is a work of art. This guy is so talented. His music has a meaning ❤

This song is perfect.
