July 1983 I lost my best friend in Uni, I don't make friends easily but the first year of Uni saw us crying with laughter as we regularly bounced off each others personalities. he was a true artistic talent and I used his standard as a level I needed to work hard to attain just to keep up. almost 40 years ago and it never leaves you, not fully, nor would i ever want it to Rest easy David

Lyrics:
Could I have just a day
Where I'd get to see your face
I would laugh and you would skate
Hanging out by the pier cave
Chasing dreams, freckled face
No inhibitions, acest mates
Tell me everything's okay
You never meant to go away

And I need something to hold on to
And I wish I could hold on to you
'Cause I will never ever forget you
And bet, I know you'll be soaring through
Because...

Freckled angels laugh the hardest
And their hearts, they are the largest
With their wings, they fly the farthest
So I know you're gonna be okay

Freckled angels live the longest
And their minds, they are the strongest
All their friends, they are the fondest
So I know you're gonna be okay

Could I have just a sec?
Please pull me out of this wreck
Crack a joke and tense your pecks
Act the fool, but with excellence
And everytime I laugh it reminds me of you
The funniest guy I ever knew
I've got so much left to say
Hope I can tell you all some day

And I need something to hold on to
And I wish I could hold on to you
'Cause I will never ever forget you
And bet, I know you'll be soaring through
Because...

Freckled angels laugh the hardest
And their hearts, they are the largest
With their wings, they fly the farthest
So I know you're gonna be okay

Freckled angels live the longest
And their minds, they are the strongest
All their friends, they are the fondest
So I know you're gonna be okay

I hope you can hear me singing to you
'Cause if so
I'll sing until my voice shatters, and my lungs they explode
I'll sing over a crowded room so they all know
How much I really miss you...
Miss you Joe

Freckled angels laugh the hardest
And their hearts, they are the largest
With their wings, they fly the farthest
So I know you're gonna be okay

Freckled angels live the longest
And their minds, they are the strongest
All their friends, they are the fondest
So I know you're gonna be okay

We laid my daughter to rest yesterday and I played this song along with Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix. You see, my daughter was also a freckled angel. Thank you Ren for writing a song that I could share with friends and family during our grief. You will always have a place in my heart.

[michaelgoganjr]

The beauty of the lyrics are so powerful. Man this made me cry and realize times to short to live in the depths of pain. 😢

[DaleMortimer]

Ren - you will probably never read this but this song has hit a chord in me like a song never has, it has literally saved my life and I thank you for that. I was the one stood on the edge of a bridge not so long ago and this song talked me down it made me think of my boys who have supported me through life and how they would feel! So thank you brother keep smashing it bro you deserve all the success you are finally getting. Love Brother

[rafapatatyn]

I don't think there's another artist, who can grab my heart like this and squeeze out feeling I didn't even know I had...

[drewperry]

Lost my brother last September. He was larger than life, both figuratively and literally. Funniest guy you ever met, and could be fiercest too. I love Ren's talent, but had been avoiding this one because Ren always pulls so hard at my heartstrings... This one broke me in the most beautiful way. My brother's name is Joe too. Wasn't expecting the ending. Thank you Ren. You are a beautifully talented, amazing soul.

Lost my wife in 2015. She was truly a special person to "save a wretch like me". This song took me by the heart and made me relive the good days and the hope that I'll see her again. Thank you, Ren...your music is affecting millions of people like myself.

[sebsairsoft]

probably will be missed, but, thank you for this song Ren, and sorry for your loss

I lost my best friend Ash the end of 2021, and, since i found this song, it always reminds me of him, as, he sounds just the same as what you describe of Joe in the song
now i know this wont be seen but i wanted to say this, to just say a big thank you, from me, Ashleys best friend, and his family too, we all love the song <3

[stevekeale]

Such a fantastic Artist, Ren delivers on many levels. Many styles. Wish him all success in Canada. Wish him a speedy recovery.
Hopefully one day all his music will be available in a physical format, for a old timer like me.

[barenjager]

Now knowing what this song truly means to ren makes it 10 times more heart touching ❤

[BellalunaGames]

Man, this man mirrors so much of my life. My freckled sister lost her battle with cancer in 2010. She was the funniest person I knew- the only one in all of my 62 years of life, that literally made me roll around in tears of laughter streaming down my face. I miss that raw joy, happiness and laughter.Her birthday is 9/8… I going to share this with my family and friends on Facebook on 9/8. I love you Ren! ((Hugs))

[lutinlaut]

My sister lost her fight with cancer last friday and this song makes me cry so much. I do think it gets better tho

[ivadenuff]

This song still makes me cry and I've been listening to it for over a year. A beautiful track. Cheers to you and Joe xx

[deanodevereux]

R.I.P. Joe Hughes, bless you bro this song brought me closer to my freckled Angel, my best mate took his life 4 years ago and this brought me closer to him in these few days than I've been in them four years gone, I have nothing but pictures to remind me of freck and they honestly do not cut it for me, this is the powerful healing your soul possess bro.

[SiameseDreams]

❤my best friend/fiancé, Pete, was a freckled guy. He's now in heaven. And he was amazing. I know he's ok now. I'm just not ok today. This song is so good! It literary let me have him here for a little bit. I'm crying too. ❤

Two weeks ago we said goodbye to my daughter’s 22 yr old best friend. She had a rare form of aggressive cancer no one knew about until it was too late. She was a daughter to us, too. This song really hits home.

[marianneszijj]

Ren! When you talk about getting to the bridge too late in Knoxhill’s interview, it is incredibly heart-breaking!!! But, it sounds like that experience ironically ended up saving you from a similar fate years later when you wanted to give up during the worst of your illness. You knew you could not put your loved ones through that kind of pain.
Joe would be so proud of how you have honored his memory and used your music to bring others out of the darkness. 💔❤️‍🩹❤️

[samuelsomething]

Not going to comment on the relationship and loss of Joe... which is absolutely, undeniably, something that's so personal... how the fuck can I say something you about it...

in the year 2023... listening to something that was produced 6-7 years ago... is refreshing. and heartbreaking, and refreshing. its a weird juxtaposition. knowing the history and dealing with modern "ren".

Where's my heart and where's my head?

is there a difference or is it the same ... no experience ... but feeling?

this album... is 8 years too late... or should I say its 8 years stuck in time loop... and I AM FINALLY hearing a voice that has been pushed down deep into my (fill in the blank).
