I'm honored and proud to be a small part of this massive community, Ren. Thank you for opening this door for all of us to be united with authenticity. Very proud of you, your crew, and all of us miscreants.😊 😊😊😊
me too Ren as a fellow lyme patient and other autoimmunity Been sick in some way really since age 2 but Lyme 30 yrs and now I’m 60 and still fighting . You are my voice!!! 🦠💚💚💚💚🦠🦠🦠
@@lisadavenport2390 Well Done for keeping up the personal fight. I can empathise with you.( 25yrs+ chronic pain) It's bloody hard work to always keep fighting. So I just wanted to acknowledge you for continuing to do so ❤🙏👊
So proud of you, glad to be a tiny part of this. Te quiero mucho Ren. You've shone light on some topics that are hardly spoken of, and brought a lot of awareness around mental health and chronic illness, so much that you inspired me to write my thesis for my nursing degree focusing on chronic illness. Ty❤
I look up to him so much! He's had to work so much harder than most people! He helps me through hard times even just listening to him talk! I doubt he'll ever revisit this post given how much he has going on and I don't do social media normally, but he is inspiring to watch ! It would make my life to hear from someone like him, but I'm happy to see so many people love him! SO GLAD TO HAVE FOUND HIS MUSIC!! His variety is refreshing!
Ren, I wish I had the words to explain what happens to my heart when I sit in your music! 4.5years of not working due to my mental health, last year, your music helped me find hope. That hope has grown into enough self belief to apply for a job in the public Mental Health system. That little bit of self belief got me through the interview (Ren blaring in the car on the way 😂). I didn't nail the interview, but at that moment, I liked myself enough to be me. Being me, fully authentic. ❤ I got the job ❤ I hope I can shine a light for people that are sitting in the dark to find their hope. Thanks man xx
This is so touching and beautiful - Ren moves Note than His own world and the music business with his inner power and music... Wish you all the best - hold on, go on...✨
In my 47 years never have I purchased an album that I have liked every song on until yours. Thank you for the beautiful roller coaster of music you bring to the world. Much love to you Ren 💖🖤💖Take good care of yourself!
Your journey has been incredible to watch over the past 8 months. I wish I heard of you sooner. As someone in a similar health situation as you, thanks for enlightening me to realize I’m not meant to just sit in my house. I can still be creative! I wish you the best! Congratulations on your number 1 album. Praying for you. I hope you can relax for a bit now.
Ren, you're raising the bar for artists. Why? You make art with responsibility to not just comment on topics of the day but to reach into the hearts of those afflicted and buoy them. This is revolutionary. I look forward to seeing other artists step up to the mark to stand beside you as a movement of artists leading the world and ethos we live by.
So so happy for you Ren. Your win is a win for all of us with chronic illnesses. I have organ failure and 14 other illnesses/diseases and syndromes. Physical and mental. You are our guardian angel and are helping all of your fans disabled or able through empathy, understanding, and humanity. Keep being you and raising us up and we'll keep raising you up in return. Now go get some rest! 😊💖💖💖
At 37 years old I was diagnosed with young onset Parkinsons disease. And never have another persons music comforted my pain. Thank you. When I was first diagnosed it turned my world upside down and my doctors told me life as I knew it was over. I lost my career my marriage my life. I was so depressed that I never left my home. I got a new doctor after a few years and he looked me straight in the eyes and said. “No Jeff this isn’t how you do it. You have to get up everyday like it’s going to be the best day of your life” it was like a switch inside of me ,my life was inspired. Now at 60 years old I have huge struggles but I have a beautiful Happy life with an amazing new wife ! REN’s fight is different than mine but his inspiration and talent make me strive even more to reach higher everyday to make it the best day of my life. Thank you!
Hey Ren. I have not been gifted by a silver tongue like you did. I find it fascinating that what you sang in Hi Ren was a prophecy: - I found your music and I respect it (a lot) - You're a genius (what you do is so refreshing) - You made waves (well a noticable crowd now follows you) - You shook the world beneath them (...) For a long time my observation of mainstream music clips was that it's a glued series of 1-2 second takes. Seeing so many of yours being just one or a few is, well, next level. Credit also goes to Sam, obviously, no questions asked. But the most important thing in it all is the subjects that you touch upon. Mass media is allergic to talking about the rot that eats our society. I think we all craved the moment that somebody speaks up. Happened to be you, and I'm quite happy that you did. I wish you all the best. Keep on keeping on!
Amazing!! I've lived with chronic illness for over twenty years and never have I heard such authentic music that puts this into perspective!! Ehlers danlos and M.E. I was told my mind was making me sick. I was a hyperchondriac with no hope and lived years in that self doubt. Here is Ren, making amazing music and putting one forward for the team INVISIBLE ILLNESSES!!! Fucking love you and everything you do!
This is what the mainstream world 🌎 needs to actually show the real stats in an abstract way of sales & chart position! THANK YOU 🐸 REN FOR BEING THIS VOICE 4 US ALL WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS & MENTAL HEATH STRUGGLES (which feel is the majority of people, whether personally or someone close) So HAPPY to have been a micro 🌟dust of a part of this! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love how they cut the chorus out at the end, still some words that can't be said, even when the whole thing was about mental health. Bought your album last Thursday and I've listedned to it every day since. I love how your music can be so serious and heartfelt on one track and then bounce back to fun and playful on the next. It mirrors my own struggles with mental health so well. Take care man, you're doing good.
The community of this is everything. Early on, after Hi Ren first came out, I heard a reactor talk about how the song would save lives. I think we all feel like your music and message is changing the world. At least, we desperately want to believe that. Thank you.
So necessary to speak on Men’s Mental Health awareness. Such an underserved part of the global community. Good job Ren! I think you took her by surprise. Keep up the good work! 💙🦋
Love the alien on the wall behind you Ren! 👽Now the chorus of Murderer is in my head, "A-lee-a-a-an"! I've finally listened to every song on the album, you definitely deserved #1. Congrats!
I cannot express how happy I am for Ren. Neither I ever was so happy for someone i do not know closely in my 18 year life experience. Just, good job. We are all proud of you.
The spotlight lands on Ren, and Ren has something to SAY! Love it. This was so well put-together, from the questions, to your responses, to the super fitting interspersed clips.
The hubby loves punk and ska, I'm usually an 80's synth girl, our 21 year old daughter loves rap, and our 8 year old usually watches Minecraft videos. But we ALL get hyped when you release something. Just a small example of how much you touch so many people s lives. Much love to you and your wonderful team, you're all superstars and so deserving of everything coming your way! Cwtches to all! ❤
Thankyou Ren! My partner introduced you to me a few months ago and your words have helped me tremendously! ❤ Im so so proud of you! Ive been watching your busking videos lately and cant believe i only heard of you a few months ago! Keep up the good work and best of luck with your treatment! All the best! ❤
Oh my golly gosh I feel overwhelmed with joy and purpose for you Ren.. I can't explain in words how proud and justifying I feel. All your hard work and dark times in despair.. I just want to hug you man. 🤗 And I don't do hugs or cry.. You are something special and I'm glad to witness this.. This is your time and we all need you in our lives.. Love you Ren ❤ please take care of yourself 🙏
Ren you're someone I look up to and admire so much! You give me hope and calm me down when I need it. Thank you for everything! If people were wonders of the world you'd certainly be one!
I have no opinion. No agenda. I just truly love the path you are taking and very much enjoy following you. My only advice, as a 66 yr old Grandma... stay you. Don't let all of the hype and attention change who you are as a human or an artist. That is the man that got you here...stick with him. ❤🎉
I can't find where I originally posted the comment. I want to thank you so much for our chat on the Spotify listening party. You inspired and motivated me personally and I needed that happiness.
Thank you for being that voice for the voiceless. I am glad that our collective voice has now been augmented and is giving you the recognition you deserve. I know it must be overwhelming at times, but I’m glad to hear it affirms and pushes you to go farther as well. Please continue to always push the envelope regardless of what anyone might think of you. So many of us are here for the long haul and will support you regardless, even if we some day happen to disagree with or question what you have to say or how you say it. Love and peace to you, Ren. You are a damn good human.
Your music helps me so much Ren♥ I am 50 and have been fighting my own battle for the past 10 years, your cd makes me feel less alone; like I finally found recognition!
Keep spreading that positive message mate, today the national news .... Tomorrow could be the world!! And it's only what you deserve Ren with your crazy work ethic! We're all behind you 101% Congratulations on the number 1 album also.......But I feel like I have bragging rights too.... because Rick Astley is from my Town. 😂😂😂😂😂
Being just over 50 ,its been a long time since ive bought a album ,used to love a bit of rap but fell out of love with it ,thanks for bringing it back into my life ,i love the fact i can find a track that suits how you are feeling ,happy ,sad ,in a dancing mood . It sounds strange to say you are proud of someone you dont know ,but i am proud ,i love the community that you have built up ,Renagades are the best ,so pleased for you ,made a middleage girly very happy .best wishes.x
Much Love to you and your mates, for all the hard work and passion you have given to the world. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of that #1 spot. Hope you invested in some real nails this time, so that award doesn’t suffer the RU-vid award fate.😂
What a fantastic interview. You really have been the voice for so many who were voiceless. But also connected to the many who have experienced physical or mental health issues. Like many have said before me. We are all extremely proud of you and to be a small part of this.
Ren ❤️ You are “organic” with your profound ability to lyrically, musically, visually, emotionally & spiritually transport us to the depths of ourselves and challenge us to look openly & honestly in the mirror ☯️⚛️🙏 Big Up to you & your team - so happy & privileged to be walking on this spinny ball in your time ❤️
You've brought music back into my life, which, looking back, sounds absurd - how on Earth could I have let the music drain out of my life?!? Thank you, Ren.
It makes my heart super happy to see this! I've never been so fucking proud of someone I dont even know!! Even tho I feel like I've known u my whole life! Much love Ren! 🙌🫶
I was in a pretty bad place when I first found your music. Not only have the songs given me some hope that things can and will get better, getting to watch you live that over the last few months has been so incredibly uplifting. Thank you for that, and for taking us along on the ride. So proud and happy for you, lots of love ❤
Never stop believing in your talent or your visions , you have a way of putting what a lot of people go through into words . And it’s beautiful to see thank you .
Glad to be apart of your beginnings with this channel! You've inspired me to start writing and singing again. I've been in a terrible headspace this past year after losing my childhood friend to her taking her life and dealing with alcoholism. I'm doing much better now and taking it one day at a time. But people like you are precious and greatly appreciated ❤🙏
Huge thank you for allowing us to have front row seats on your incredible journey this past year. It's been fun, heartbreaking and something new to look forward to almost every week. You truly are wonderful human. Enjoy your journey. ❤
Oh my goodness😍 Yay.... That's really awesome that someone did a proper job talking WITH you... unlike some that we know of!😊 You did a great job Ren!❤
I have been OBSESSED with Ren's music. My ADHD is going berserk playing his songs on repeat. It's his kind demeanor, his singing, his creativity the story telling. I could gush all day and i haven't crushed on someone since seeing Legolas when lotr came out😅 BUT that being said. I have never cheered on a stranger this much before you go man YOU HECKIN DESERVE IT
Ren is without doubt my favorite blasphemous alchemist, if any man deserves a heated toilet seat it is surely him. Like many others i feel inspired having watched this happen. Not been so moved by an artist for 30 odd years. Long may he reign
I'm so stoked to see you getting recognized. The more, the better. Thank you for giving the silently suffering a voice! sending LOVE and LIGHT always your way Ren!
Ren, you were so diplomatic and kind here in places where you could have been polarizing; I just love to hear you bring light and love into dark and grey places. I'm inspired. Big love.
Hi Ren (voice transcription misspelled it at first sorry) I'm so happy for you man! Thanks for elucidating while being intelligent, pragmatic, yet revealing truths in a careful way on the news. It helps open crusty eyes. Well done and I hope your subsequent interviews help more and more people awaken to a potential better path we can all construct together. Love you bro!
Ren, I feel like you speak for people like me and for me in particular. I've always had shaky mental health but in 2021 I lost my voice, since then ive almost been trapped inside my own mind 24/7. My friends dont bother with me anymore, I can't go out and about because no one can hear me.. I'm a full time carer to my disabled lad (who absolutely bops to ALL of your music) and on particularly tough days... I put my headphones in and listen to your words and it makes that prison in my mind seem a littke less scary and a little less lonely. Keep being authentically you ❤
So deserved! Only been on the Ren Rollacoaster for just over a year or so after being captivated by "Hi Ren" and becoming obsessed with his music and him as an artist ever since. Its amazing what he has managed to achieve during this time. 👏👏👏👏👏
Just complete congrats to you, Ren and your crew!!! You deserve nothing less than top billing!! You are amazing and I've already said in way too many reactors comments how you have affected my life, so I'm just going to keep this brief and tell you that you are amazing, you are loved and you are worthy of every second of all of this!! We are all so proud of you! ❤ So much good in your future, and so much potential to turn sour. Just take care of yourself. Hydrate, rest and above all, _LISTEN TO YOUR BODY_! I can't stress that enough. When it says take a breath/ break/vacation... listen and heed it. Oh! And have a BLAST in Vegas!! ❤🌻💜🌻
I love how she pulled up a chair in front of the screen to interview you, as if the two of you were in the room together 😅. But yes. Super cool to see you getting some hard-earned recognition 💛
I saw this channel 4 news report last week. I think it showed an eclectic selection of your recent music and the interview was balanced and good. I'm still so happy that you made it ❤ (I've just noticed that "eclectic selection" sounds pretty good 😉)
Ren I hope you are well enough to tour the world and spread your art, message and positivity. You've got a lot of talent. I tell people about you often.
Ahh Ren, you are always so eloquent. I am truly blessed to have found you. It is so life affirming to be part of something you have created that is so beautiful. It has given me hope. Blessings ❤
The rest of the world can wake up now, to the brilliance in the things you create. Congratulations on your number 1 album (have acquired several versions 😮)
