Hi Ren is out now on all streaming platforms
https://renmakesmusic.lnk.to/hiren
Creating this song wasn’t easy, but I’m so proud of how it turned out.
Want to say a big thank you for everyones support over the years. During the years trapped inside with chronic health problems the main thing that kept me going was a belief that one day I would come out the other side, and be able to achieve success through music. I don’t have a label, and sometimes pushing these things as hard as I want becomes a massive challenge, and I find myself frustrated that there aren’t enough hours in the day to push it as far as I want to. I would love to ask a favour to anyone who has ever enjoyed my music over the years, and it will only take a few minutes of your day.It would mean the world to me if you shared ‘Hi Ren’ as much as you can, over social media platforms, with friends, over email. Together, and with your help I can hopefully reach people all over the world, and get one step closer to the dream I always had! Thank you so much for the support so far!

Hi there Ren
It's been a little while,
Did you miss me?
You thought you’d buried me, didn't you? Risky…
Because I always come back
Deep down you know that…
Deep down you know I'm always in periphery
Ren aren't you pleased to see me? it's been weeks since we spoke bro, you know you need me
You’re the sheep, I'm the shepherd
Not your place to lead me
Not your place to be biting off the hand that feeds me
Hi Ren
I’ve been taking some time to be distant
I’ve been taking some time to be still
I've been taking some time to be by myself since my therapist told me I'm ill
I've been making some progress lately, and I've learnt some new coping skills
So I haven't really needed you much man
I think we need to just step back and chill
Ren, you sound more insane than I do
You think that those doctors are really there to guide you?
Been through this a million times
Your civilian mind is so perfect at always being lied to
Okay, take another pill boy
Drown yourself in the sound of white noise
Follow this 10 step program, rejoice!
All your problems will be gone! Fucking dumb boy
Nah mate, this time it's different man trust me
I feel like things might be falling in place
And my music's been kinda doing bits too
Like I actually might do something great
And when I'm gone maybe I'll be remembered
For doing something special with myself
That's why I don't think that we should talk man
Cause when your with me it never seems to help
You think that you can amputate me?
I am you, you are me, you are I, I am we
We are one, split in two that makes one so you see
You got to kill you if you wanna kill me.
I'm not left over dinner, I’m not scraps on the side, oh your music is thriving?
Delusional guy! Where's your top ten hit? Where's your interview with Oprah?
Where are your grammes Ren?
Nowhere!
Yeah but, my music's not commercial like that
I never chased numbers, statistics or stats
I Never write hooks for the radio, they never even play me so why would Iconcernn myself with that?
But my music is really connecting,
And the people who find it respect it ,
And for me that's enough ‘cause this life's been tough so it gives me a purpose I can rest in
Man you sound so pretentious !
Ren your music is so self centred,
No one wants to hear another song about how much you hate yourself… trust me
You should be so lucky having me inside you to guide you, remind you to manage expectations,
provide you perspective, that thing you neglected, I get it
You wana be a big deal… Next jimi hendrix? forget it
Man it's not like that
Man it's just like that I'm inside you you twat
Nah it's not man your wrong, when I write I belong
Let me break the fourth wall by acknowledging this song
Ren sits down,
Has a stroke of genius,
He wants to write a song that was not done previous
A battle with his subconscious…
Eminem did it
Played on guitar
Plan B did it
Man your not original you criminal, rip off artist, the pinnacle of your success is stealing other people's material
Ren mate we've heard it all before
Ohh "she sell sea shells on the sea shore"
Fuck you I don't need you, I don't need to hear this,
cause I'm fine by myself, I'm a genius!
and I will be great, and I will make waves, and ill shake up the whole world beneath us
That's right speak your truth, your fucking god complex leaks out of you
It's refreshing to actually hear you say it!
In stead of down play it…
“Oh the music Is all about the creative process and if people can find something to relate to within that the that's just a bonus”
Fuck you ima fucking kill you Ren
Well fucking kill me then
let's fucking have you Ren
I'm a do it, watch me prove it, who are you to doubt my music?
‘Cause I call the shots I choose if you die
Yeah I call the shots and so i who choose who survives
I'll tie you up in knots then I'll lock you inside
News flash…
I was created at the dawn of creation,
I am temptation
I am the snake in Eden,
I am the reason for treason
Beheading all Kings,
I am sin with no rhyme or reason,
Sun of the morning, Lucifer,
Antichrist, father of lies,
Mestophilies,
Truth in a blender,
Deceitful pretender,
The Banished avenger,
The righteous surrender
When standing in-front of my solar eclipse,
My name it is stitched to your lips so see
I won't bow to the will of a mortal, feeble and normal
You wana kill me? I'm enteral, immortal
I live in every decision that catalysed chaos
That causes division
I live inside death, the beginning of ends
I am you, you are me, I am you Ren
Hi Ren… I’ve been taking some time to be distant,
I’ve been taking some time to be still
I’ve been taking some time to be by myself and I've spent half my life ill
But just as sure as the tide start turning
Just as sure as the night has dawn
Just as sure as rain fall soon runs dry when you stand in the eye of the storm
I was made to be tested and twisted
I was made to be broken and beat
I was made by his hand, it's all part of the plan that I stand on my own two feet
And you know me my will is eternal
And you know me you've met Me before
Face to with a beast I will rise from the east and I'll settle on the ocean floor
And I go by many names also
Some people know me as hope
Some people know me as the voice that you hear when u loosen the noose on the rope
And you know how I know how I know that I'll prosper?
Because I stand here beside you today
I have stood in the flames that cremated my brain
And I didn't once flinch or shake
So cower at the man I've become
When I sing from the top of my lungs
That I won't retire I'll stand in your fire inspire the meek to be strong
And when I am gone I will rise
In the music that I left behind
Ferocious persistent, immortal like you
we’re a coin with two different sides
When I was 17 years old I shouted out into an empty room, into a blank canvas, that I would defeat the forces of evil,
and for the next 10 years of my life I suffered the consequences…
With Illness, autoimmunity and psychosis
As I got older I realised that there were no real winners or no real losers in physiological warfare
But there were victims and there were students
It wasn’t David verses Goliath, it's was a pendulum eternally swaying between the dark and the light,
and the brighter the light shone, the darker the shadow it cast
It was never a battle for me to win, it was an eternal dance,
and like a dance, the more rigid I became the harder it got
The more I cursed my clumsy footsteps the more i suffered
And so I got older and I learned to relax, and I learned to soften, and that dance got easier
It is this eternal waltz that separates human beings from angels, from demons, from gods
And I must not forget, we must not forget, that we are human beings.
Back again…
Its nightly tbh
En français du Québec je dis té un phénomène extraordinaire tes trippes parlent 😢😢😢😢 tu me fais brailler à 62 ans!
Friggen super excepted that I stumbled upon Ren.l seriously one of the most talented musicians this side of the past greats.
You are amazing. I have never seen or heard or read anything that lays bare exactly what it feels like to live in that darkness and to dance with the fragmented pieces of a psyche. My husband saw this (he's a big music buff) and sent it to me and asked me if this is what it feels like for me. And I couldn't watch it for weeks afraid of its power. But when I watched it I cried and felt so much comfort in it. I told him, yes, this is exactly what it feels like. I said that Ren made something transcendent and extremely comforting. I then sent my husband a journal entry I wrote back in February about the ~4 versions of myself I could recognize. I don't know if you meant it that way or not, but I see four "people" in the song as well. So it was comforting to watch someone with such mastery turn all of that pain, confusion, madness, into beauty and take it full circle to the "dance". I used to also call it "surrender". Fighting against the fight only adds to the fight. Thank you for making such a beautiful work of art and for transcending the self. You give me such comfort as it sounds like you do for millions of other people on this planet.
Seriously unique. Best to you
Wow.just wow.lyrical and creative genius
Grats on the success.
this hits like a truck
Ren, what you have put together here is an absolute masterpiece. Watching this was a profound experience, your story worked its way into my soul and consciousness and had me entranced, shocked, amazed. You are so beautiful, so incredibly talented, profoundly strong. Thank you for allowing us into your consciousness, for being so brave. Sending love, and gratitude ❤
I love this💯👍
My news flash is like a Sunday morning journal on a daily base .
From 4:20 to the end has to be one of the best representations of the battle between the "good" and "bad" sides I've ever seen and Ren you did it with just a guitar and some good lighting!! You and your editor are two masters of your crafts and it shows here man! Fantastic stuff buddy and I'm so happy I came across your music by pure chance. Its truly powerful stuff👏🫡🤜🤛
Did anyone else notice how when he's arguing with the alter ego every time the alter ego speaks it sits on the left of the camera and looks to the right and every time ren speaks he sits on the right and looks to the left. Since in the song he talks about the strength god gives him and about how his alter ego is essentially Satan I wouldn't be surprised if he sits like that to reference the right-left hand paths in religion and occultism
Whoa, holy sh*t.
Ren, the enigmatic artist who has captured the attention of the music world with his latest song, has left listeners pondering the intricate layers of his introspective masterpiece. With unapologetic lyrics that delve into the realms of self-doubt and artistic identity, Ren has sparked a fiery conversation within the industry.
In "Hi Ren", the artist fearlessly confronts his inner demons, engaging in a captivating dialogue with a subconscious voice that seems to haunt his every move. Ren's lyrics effortlessly portray the delicate balance between vulnerability and defiance, grappling with the eternal struggle that resides within each of us.
Throughout the song, Ren's internal dialogue dances between profound introspection and defiant rebellion. The lyrics reveal a fascinating internal conflict, as Ren asserts his artistic independence while battling the relentless self-doubt that so often accompanies creative pursuits. It is this dichotomy that draws us deeper into the artist's psyche.
Ren's refusal to conform to commercial expectations shines through his lyrical narrative. He boldly distances himself from the lure of chart-topping hits and mainstream recognition, emphasizing his dedication to an artistic vision unbound by external pressures. It is a refreshing departure from the conventional, where authenticity and personal expression take precedence over commercial success.
The song's bridge serves as a mesmerizing testament to Ren's ability to traverse the boundaries of his own consciousness. In this section, Ren embraces the darkness within, personifying it as the catalyst for chaos and division. Yet, amidst the darkness, there is an underlying resilience, an unwavering belief that Ren possesses the strength to rise above and inspire others through his music.
Ren's lyrics also display a profound acceptance of his own flaws and the realization that they contribute to his growth as an artist. His acknowledgement of personal struggles and battles with mental health humanizes him and fosters a connection with listeners who find solace in his vulnerable confessions. Ren's willingness to confront his own demons becomes a powerful source of empowerment, paving the way for self-acceptance and resilience.
As an avid observer of the music industry, Ren's defiant spirit reminds me of the great pioneers who challenged the status quo. His refusal to conform, coupled with an unwavering belief in his own ability to inspire change, echoes the revolutionary sentiments of artists who have come before him. Ren may not have the trophies or accolades of mainstream success, but his impact lies in the raw emotions he ignites within his listeners.
In a world saturated with formulaic tunes and superficial narratives, Ren's unapologetic journey of self-discovery is a breath of fresh air. He fearlessly unearths the complexities of the human condition, unmasking the insecurities and doubts that often lay dormant within us all. Ren's artistry is a call to embrace our vulnerabilities, acknowledge our internal struggles, and find strength in our own uniqueness.
Ren's musical odyssey continues to unfold, promising a future that holds both artistic evolution and uncharted territories. As he finds his footing within this vast musical landscape, Ren's unwavering commitment to authenticity will undoubtedly leave an indelible mark on the industry.
So, let us embark on this profound journey with Ren, where his music acts as a mirror reflecting our own triumphs and tribulations. As the coin flips, revealing its different sides, we await the next chapter in Ren's artistic voyage—a chapter that promises to inspire and resonate with the deepest recesses of our souls.
This is actually so good I’m not sure I can listen to it again
He looks so much like Cillian Murphy!
Yeh, man. This is incredible. Big respect.
This would be the 100th time I have watched this and I cannot get enough. Ren, you are simply amazing brother!
One of the best songs in modern times, so much going on all the way through. A masterpiece!
