Two hours ago I had no idea who this man was. Now here I am plowing through his catalog and sharing it with anybody that will listen. Thanks for this fantastic art. Can't wait to hear it all!

[nsrfreak]

I'm 44 and haven't been this excited about an artist in many many years. I basically still listen to stuff I liked in the 90s. This gives me hope.

[daddiocall]

43 year old man here who grew up on heavy metal. I haven’t been this captivated by an artist in a really long time. This man pierces my soul.

[mandyjohnson]

I feel like he read my diary. Shout out to the ones who don’t want to live but stay on their toes for the people who would be devastated by their loss.

[tamrarusheed]

I read somewhere that a wise man once said, “when you’re happy you enjoy the melody, but when you’re broken you understand the lyrics.”

[kendragon]

"I'm scared of being okay because all things change." That line broke me.

[kevlovespp]

I simply can't fathom how creative and clever Ren is when composing. He's wildly underrated, and every little detail in his music is out of this world. Thank you for your music genuinely.

[kathymartin]

I love when singers really really feel their lyrics. These two are both unbelievably talented.

I’m a 42 year old gynaecologist from Sweden. Father of two. I’m a fairly boring man. I don’t listen to new music. I have stayed with the bands i liked as a teenager. I found your music via #thefairyvoicemother. Absolutely incredible! I’ve been struggeling with depression and anxiety for years. Trying to stay sober. Your music is fucking with my brain! I JUST CAN’T STOP LISTENING! Yesterday i must’ve listened to Hi Ren at least 20 times and today i decided that i really need to try another of your songs. Unbelieveble! I have now decided that this is my new theme song. It cuts right through my defenses. Best i heard in loong time.

Thank You!

A week of listening to Ren has utterly broken me, but in a way that I might rebuild stronger than before. Ren (if you happen to see this comment) I want you to know that you've been such a good friend to me this week. Me and countless others. Thanks mate.

[maggiebonnett]

12 years working within mental health care, 50 years of bouts of poor mental health. Your songs are such an accurate description of the way that most of us live our lives.

[ashleyboyer]

I honestly think he's the best artist in the UK right now.
And Chinchilla's voice is a powerhouse of strength, range and has a gorgeous tone to her vocals

[nicoleherrington]

Their voices together, man 🤌 fucking amazing.

[OuchingTigerLimpingDragon]

Watching them sing their hearts out with locked eyes just gave me chills for some reason. It was so powerful and raw.

[FantasticBabblings]

Im 70 and I don’t listen to much contemporary music because it sounds overproduced with embalming fluid. It’s such a joy, and a sense of relief, to see/hear music that is so alive. You’re beautiful, Ren.

[yegti]

i get goosebumps every single time I listen to this. Ren is definiletly the most underrated and talented artist of our generation.

[laurafromliverpool]

I never thought I'd have to psych myself up to listen to a song. But when i accidentally came accross "Hi Ren" this morning and it blew my mind i knew I'd have to be feeling strong to listen to this one.

Ren, i truely believe you might be the person this world needs right now.

LYRICS (we all love to sing along dont we)

I'm still here in this bed that I crawled in
I hope that I'm someone else in the morning
So take this one, wash it down and you'll be fine
Then walk around in a floating chalk outline
But so it goes, let it be
In the gallows I balanced on my toes so I can breathe
But little by little, bit by bit
I push it back down with a new habit
If not for long, just for a while
I'll bury myself with a great big smile
(Oh my my, oh my my)
We trace ourselves in these chalk outlines
(Oh my my, oh my my)
Erase ourselves in these chalk outlines
Sertraline and a sip of serotonin
Don't cry 'cause there's a pill for everything
Take this one, wash it down and you'll be fine
The feeling goes and you draw a chalk outline
And so it goes, let it be
In the gallows, I balanced on my toes so I can breathe
But little by little, bit by bit
I push it back down with a new habit
If not for long, just for a while
I'll bury myself with a great big smile
(Oh my my, oh my my)
We trace ourselves in these chalk outlines
(Oh my my, oh my my)
Erase ourselves
Such a perfect day, take it just in case, take it just in case
I'm scared of being okay, 'cause all things change, all things change
Such a perfect day, it's a beautiful shame, it's a beautiful shame
I'm scared of being okay, 'cause all things change
But little by little, bit by bit
I push it back down with a new habit
If not for long, just for a while
I'll bury myself with a great big smile
(Oh my my, oh my my)
We trace ourselves in these chalk outlines
(Oh my my, oh my my)
Erase ourselves in these chalk outlines

Ren, this is how special you are to my family, and I, I battled depression and heroin after being sober from meth for 16 yrs and now going on 7 yrs clean. Your music has helped me thru some tough times. I was going through my playlist while dropping my 20 yr old son to work this morning, and this song came up. About 3 mins in, I look over and see my son with tears in his eyes. He only listens to death metal and doesn't cry easily, so for this song to hit him like that shows you how powerful your music is. Keep it going Ren, because you are making an impact on many ppl. I wish so badly that you put on a show in the USA. That'd be a dream come true!
