Ren - Genesis 

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 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.

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 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."

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

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. ❤

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

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

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.

He literally speaks the words I cannot find myself

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?

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.

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

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.

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

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

Who else watches this everyday

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.

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. ❤️

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 🧡

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.

See, man? This is what I am talking about? (My comment on your other video, the Sick Boi music video) You are not at an epic party, not on a rich boat, car, or some other hollywood bullshit. You are just taking a walk at night spitting real shit, man. We are just listening to you talk/rap. Just a conversation. Not a full blown fucking orgy party "I'm the richest egotist in the world" crap. Awesome. Thank you for this. I am not just hearing you, Ren. I am listening.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 ✨💜

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 ❤

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

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🙏

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.

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

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!

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 !

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! ❤️✌🏻✌🏻❤️

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.

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

Genesis is breathtaking. Lyrics, music, man.

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

Damn this boy slays it like a hot knife through cold butter, he spreads those lyrics sunny side up and surprises you like pop tarts bouncing out your toaster. Mad respect.

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

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

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

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

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

It’s Sunday morning, 10:30a. Discovered REN in Hi Ren last Wednesday at 11:30p and haven’t been able to stop listening, watching, and experiencing his musical genius. One of the greatest artists ever. Period. Please keep it coming…

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

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

He's so unique, he can go to rap to pop, to story telling in such a talented way!!! Never disappoints... He's a artist like no other!!!

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

Such a talent. Ren will go down as one of the greats, not of this generation, of all time.

You're not just a rapper,you're a literal poet fr!

how is ren not num 1 in music everywher

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.

Ren starting the music video at a fish and chip shop is the most british thing ever and I love it

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

This song is straight up genius

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

Let's gooooooo! Sick, man! Can't wait to hear the rest of them and have that precious album on my hands!! Give us the letters Ren pleaseeee

the fish'n'chips vendor is probably still wondering if he'll ever come back^^

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 🙏

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

You are a freaking genius, thank you for making my days better. Jenny screech and violet are a mainstay everyday I have to listen

How are all of your songs bangers? My god dude. Modern day poet. Pure class. Much respect.

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.

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

He’s like a leather bound book with soul and a dope ass story to tell 🔥

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 🖤)

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

Can't get enough Ren. Such a talented man.

You`re a boss, man. Lyrics, Style, Beats, Vocals.....you`re fu**ing good!

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. ❤

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

2.3 million views man that’s just amazing ❤

Mate, I gotta tell you, I'm almost 43, I have written and played music since I was 15 years old, and since I've found your channel on RU-vid, even if your music is way different than mine, you're a daily source of inspiration to me. Cheers and keep up the great vibes

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.

I wish I could add a new like everyone I listened to this it’s so epic all of music is epic please don’t stop your songs speak to my soul more than any other artist ever. I love how deep, how extreme your songs are. Keep discovering yourself and don’t let anyone hinder your progress you’re freaking doing so good

Personally ren, this is the dopest track and that's from someone's who's been with you long. Big up the frcjlef angels and everything but you a dawg in this. Big up
