After listening to almost every song that Ren has released and even the unreleased songs, I can confidently say that I have never encountered a musical artist with such an incredibly broad spectrum of genius level talent. Ren is a once in a lifetime musical prodigy.

[chrisg.]

I'm not entirely sure this world deserves this extraordinary man but it certainly needs him.

[buddhathashoota]

Having nearly died in such a gruesome way, I’m struggling with terrifying memories. This song hits so perfect.

[johnwittner]

I have NEVER in my 49 yrs., Loved every single song of any artist except REN!!!

[billjohnston]

RIP Melanie. It's a beautiful sample Ren.
Thank you

[allenortega]

This Ren rabbit hole is crazy. This song completely destroyed me. I've suffered from depression for 36 years now, not knowing how I've been able to survive. Two months of hearing this guy's music and damn near every song touches my soul. This one was tears from the beginning. It's good to know someone out there truly understands and can actually put the feelings I feel every day to words in a way I never could. Thank you Ren.

[katiemathews]

I have never had an artist make me feel more understood than anyone I've ever met. I cry not only for our shared pain, but also because I know I am not alone. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Ren ❤️

[TeslasTeaParty]

How the hell did I miss this guy everything he touches is pure gold!

Chorus: Melanie Safka]
Do you believe it's morning?
I'm alive but that's the last thing on my mind
Do you believe it's morning?
I'm alive but that's the last thing on my mind

[Verse 1: Ren]
Dear future self, I hope you're in good health
I'm writing 'cause I'm frightened, I've been fighting with myself
I wake up in the morning
Rain is poring but I don't mean outside
I mean a storm is roaring in the corners deep in my mind
And I've been funding my friends for advice to break the ice
How would you?

[Verse 2: Ren]
Yeah I'm nice
Actually, I'm fucking sore inside
I'm border lined to a side
But I'm really trying to try and shine in this dark, dark life of mine
The film "Life of Brian", I watched it 50 times
Because I'm always searching for the brighter side of life
And maybe one day the thoughts will pay off
But 'til then, my future self, I'm feeling lost, ha

[Chorus: Melanie Safka]
Do you believe it's morning?
I'm alive but that's the last thing on my mind
Do you believe it's morning?
I'm alive but that's the last thing on my mind


[Verse 3: Ren]
Dear future self, why am I unwell?
Will I ever find a way to climb right out of this hell?
Will I ever find a way to leave my demons?
Find a breath that keeps me breathing?
Find a hope to keep believing?
Find the way out?
Huh

[Verse 4: Ren]
'Cause something funny happens when you're always sick
When you wake up every day praying that day might be it
That you might turn a corner into life or into death
'Cause you hate that state of limbo
'Cause you hate that state of stress

[Verse 5: Ren]
And many lessons I have learned
Being burned by the fires of depression as they scorch up my earth
I have learned that I'm stronger than I ever thought I was
'Cause I'm still here and breathin', my heart's beating blood
But I'm a paradox, I feel so alone
Yet I isolate myself, it's no ones fault

[Verse 6: Ren]
But my own heart is broken 'cause of the friends that I've had to have died
Heart is broken 'cause I've been sick for a third of my life
Heart is broken 'cause we live on a planet that values money more than life
And we're damaging that planet that we need to survive
My broken heart, it breaks every time I feel the breaks on my brain when it aches

[Verse 7: Ren]
Bringing the bruises back to faith, feeding my demons while they wait
Ask my angels why for sake have faith
Take away this pain in my brain
And bring the rain, rain on my soul
Future self, could you put me out this hole, ha?

[Chorus: Melanie Safka, Ren]
Do you believe it's morning?
I'm alive but that's the last thing on my mind
Do you believe it's morning?
I'm alive but that's the last thing on my mind
Do you believe it's morning?
I'm alive but that's the last thing on my mind
Do you believe it's morning?
I'm alive but that's the last thing on my, my, my, my mind

I just posted this to my FB and Instagram with this message.... I am struggling to find the words. Tears are streaming down my face. Ren was just awarded BEST ALBUM in the UK without ever having a record deal! He has been described as Eminem, Beethoven and Shakespeare packaged into one very talented soul.
He is the voice of all those who have dealt with long term, chronic illness whether it be mental, physical, or both.
He tackles difficult subjects in his music.
He allows those who haven't been able to find the words to use his.
He has left his handprint on my soul.
Yes, he uses foul language in some of his songs and shocking images in his videos at times, but I believe he has had the courage to voice what many think and is helping create a world where we will no longer turn a blind eye to things we have been previously unwilling to address.

[ceekayy]

7 years into the Ren rabbit hole and I'm beginning to think he's not real. Every song speaks to me and feels like I've been listening to it my entire time.

[Jinty]

This is insane, I have never connected so much with an artist who seems to write such thought provoking lyrics and banger songs. Anytime I am struggling with the monotony of my long-term illnesses, a new Ren song to me, pulls me out of my melancholy. He is such a deep thinker and I know he has become a voice for those who feel discarded and neglected by the medical profession. 20 years of fighting, some times I feel like throwing the towel in, but listening to Ren makes me appreciate how lucky I am. I have managed to hold down a full-time job even though I don't have a social life due to the unrelenting body aches and fatigue and mental brain fog. I got ill at 33/34, turn 54 next week but to see someone like Ren cut down in their prime at such a young age is beyond awful. I have food issues where I have a list of foods I can't touch, about 1 or 2 antibiotics I can tolerate. My mind can't comprehend the insanely limited diet Ren has had to endure for years. To see him celebrating being able to eat a rice cake was both happy and exceptionally sad at the same time. I pray that Ren's future self continues to put his health first and that it continues to improve and that he gets more rewards musically when his next album drops.

[garethwilliams]

Every time I listen to a new song I think it’s my favourite. Then I listen to the next one and boom he blows your mind all over again. DO YOU BELIEVE is pure poetry.

[voorrnaamachterrnaam]

So this hits home... crying on the toilet at 5 am.... i fought my battle and sort of won. 42 years old now. Pure poetry

[marisascott]

Ren fills my heart. These old songs give me goose bumps everytime. My 18 month son loves the sound of Rens voice and his guitar playing. He will stop whatever he's doing to listen to his music💙

[edoliva]

I dont care how old Ren is, he deserves a Lifetime achievement award right now!

[liamdiacci]

This much talent in one man is staggering. The story surrounding Ren is truly poetic, his struggle has played its part in his music and elevated it to some truly mind-blowing heights. I'm in awe of Ren.

[jayeshleman]

A fan for life when Cobain and Cornell passed I honestly didn't think I would care for any musician the way I loved you ren are the only one to break through that barrier for me. Keep yourself true to yourself always my brother

[Mamaw]

I have auto immune diseases, double heart transplant, numerous surgeries, ex addict, dealt with depression, isolation, lost all my family to illness and then I find REN and I’m sobbing while I’m connecting with this unmatched talent. I’m 45 and I never heard such a talented person! His song HI Ren opened up the flood gates of his talent and made want to hold on during a night I was very sick with my disease.

[mariamason]

I knew in a second I was hearing Melanie's voice. REN and Melanie Safka... perfect sound - gorgeous collaboration. This is just breathtaking. I don't cry like I used to. REN's music opens a place in my heart and the tears begin to fall. Thank you REN and Melanie. True perfection.
