  • I thought i'd do a little vid cause i haven't done one in ages. I know the message is a cliche, but cliche's are cliche's for a reason, in that they are simple and obvious, and in a world of information i feel people feel the need to complicate truths. People get so stressed out with jobs and work, and life commitments, and forget what they are working towards. Poor or rich, starving, or spoiled, I believe we are all powerful beyond belief. We all have the choice in this very moment to unify and change this world for the better, in a world of greed, starvation, war, and huge overpopulation. We can choose to ignore the trivial things that take up so much of our time and work on building a beautiful world that works for our children, and their children, and so we should.
    Sorry for the poor video quality!

    The more I find stuff that Ren created the more I realize this guy was born for this, I swear, there is no doubt in my mind that he should be making anything else with his life but create music tunes and sacred lines for wounded souls ♥️♥️

      Crazy to think he's in the height on his disease when this was posted.
      Sounds slightly manic as he's prob having a good day.
      SO glad he's come through the other side. Even though he'll prob always be fighting it to some extent for the rest of his life.
      Unfortunately it's his pain that create the amazing music and amazing person he's become.

    One minute and thirty seven seconds.
    I have read several dozen philosophy books. I have listened to thousands of singers and bands.
    Ren gives more in 1:37 than all the rest combined.

    Yeah, just damn. I hear in reactions to Ren's music how great he is at singing, or even how good he is at playing the guitar. But as good as he is at those, Ren's most developed talent is the way he plucks at our heartstrings, or maybe it's the way he touches our minds with a turn of phrase. I love the work of this young man, and wish only that I had discovered it before my seventieth year.

    Trick the fox...quite frankly, clever. Very happy to have been shown your music. Son you have been given many gifts. Not to expand your head nor ego, but truth be told... you are a tremendous guitarist, talented writer, rapper, an excellent storyteller with a miraculous ability to put all together with love. I guess what I am trying to say is amongst the sea shells 🐚 by the sea shore, Ren you are the 🌟 starfish! Love 💘 and Light 🌟 ✝️🎙🎶💞

    I really thought that maybe the years of pain and illness were part of the path Ren had to go to be the humble and gentle soul that he is today. But actually 11 years ago he already came up with this.
    Seems he was already born with it and just learned to grow it and spread it...

    Brilliant poem Ren nice to see you creating that long ago and having the ability to conjure poems and lyrics that are evocative and meaningful. It's very difficult to have the self awareness, rationality and understanding to encompass life the universe and everything into living, so eloquently.

    So much wisdom in this young guy. Even if i don't really believe in god, it seems like a miracle how such a young person can have so much insight. I dont know, why it took so long for him to become famous. Theres a very old soul in this (still) young body. What he does is sooo creative and hearttouching like nothing else i've ever listened to. I've been a manic music lover all my life, but he has got something i can't even find words for. Nothing has touched me as deep as the art Ren creates. Like another guy said here, hes a one in a miilion artist, poet, musician and human. Although i didnt find the other ones in a million yet😄

    We were given a conscience for a reason... our decision to make the choice. Every choice is still for a reason, no right or wrong. In the moment, hindsight is always 20-20 later.

    what is the meaning of life?
    he replied with a sigh and a smile
    holding a cat on your lap
    he replied with a smile and a sigh
