This was about his friend Joe.
I have been putting off watching this one. Avoiding it, but here we are.😭😭
2021 My nephew took his life. This song was tough. This song was also needed. I’m thankful he recorded this. So thankful.
Please, if you are someone having these thoughts, there is help. Talk to someone. You can talk to me, even.
This was Ren's post about Joe:
Today I want to write something beautiful and eloquent but I’ve been staring at my computer screen for the past 10 minutes blankly. So I’ll just write.
Today, the 1st of June is my friend Joe’s birthday.
I first met Joe when I was 8 years old, my friend Josh said I had to meet this guy, so we both walked over to his, it took about 10 minutes from my house. I was greeted by this kid covered head to toe in freckles, he grinned at us, climbed onto the back of his sofa and screamed “Swanton Bomb!” then front flipped off the top and landed right onto his back on a stone floor. He lay still for a moment, twitched a few times, then got up, grinned at us, brushed himself off, and did it again.
This was Joe. He’d do anything to make people laugh. He ended up becoming one of my best friends. He was there when we stole our first cigarettes out of his mums pack, way too young. He was there when I had my first kiss, with a girl twice my size on the back of the 42 bus. He was there when I first got so drunk I threw up in the woods after drinking as much white lightning Cider as we could. I was there when he did his first backflip on skates, and saw him do a 720 off of the pier cave, that moment became legendary.
Joe was the funny one in our friend group, he’d make us laugh till it hurt. No one had a bad word to say about him. It was impossible not to like him. Usually we put celebrities, athletes and actors on pedestals, turn them into role models and admire them from a far. The person I admired was Joe.
Him and Sagar knew every word to the songs id write, we’d get drunk at parties and they’d be singing along as loud as they could. It gave me a lot of confidence back then.
On Christmas Eve 2010 I was sitting in a pub with Joe, he’d been feeling low after a couple of consecutive break ups. He tried to check himself into a mental health outpatient facility a few weeks earlier but they turned him away because he didn’t have an appointment. He turned to me and said that sometimes he wished he could just walk into the sea and keep walking. He said it in a kind of half joking throw away comment type of way, then took a sip of his drink, walked over to the juke box and put Dig by Incubus on. If I knew that was the last time I’d see Joe id have hugged him, told him how much I loved him, how much I looked up to him, how much we all loved him, and I wouldn’t have left that pub. I didn’t know that, so I finished my drink, said happy Christmas and left.
Two nights after Christmas I got woken up by a phone call at 3am, it was my friend Ella. She told me Joe was on the Menai Bridge, a large suspension bridge connecting the main land to the isle of Anglesey where we lived. He’d been on the phone to her in tears saying goodbye. He told her to tell everyone he loved them. I pulled on my clothes as fast as I could and started running toward the bridge. It was up a hill. I lived about a ten minute walk away, I could run it in five. As I ran I started dialling then redialing his number. The line was busy, which was a good sign, it meant he was still on the phone to someone. As I got about halfway, the busy tone changed. It told me the line was out of service. I got a sinking feeling and picked up my speed. I arrived to the bridge minutes after I left my house. It was deafeningly quiet. I was the first person to arrive. I got there probably about 2 minutes too late.
Joe’s body was never found.
Initially we refused to believe he was gone. The coastguard came out that night, with boats, and helicopters. Me and my friends spent the next 10 days putting up missing posters everywhere we could, walking up and down beaches with flashlights, getting about 3 hours sleep a night. When you’re walking up and down a beach with a torch when its dark everything looks like a body. We still haven’t found Joe.
As his birthday came around, I wrote a song, freckled angels, a song I dedicated to Joe which I sang in front of his friends and family. A charity football match was put on for him, raising money for the RNLI where I won two bottles of wine in a raffle, I drank them both as quickly as I could, naturally, turned to my friend and probably slurred something along the lines of “This is the last time I ever drink” That was 12 years ago, I haven’t touched a drop of alcohol since.
My first ever album I named Freckled Angels in tribute of one of the best people I ever knew.
Skip forward some years. I’d been sitting on this song I wrote a few years ago. It always felt a little incomplete. It was going to be my next release, but I was dreading it because of this feeling of incompletion. I decided, very last minute, to do something about it. I sat by my piano, and the rest of the song fell out of me. I hadn’t thought about Joe in a little while, and the song initially wasn’t going to be about him, but the words all fell out of me. I wrote and recorded a whole 2 minutes extra, recording each part as I wrote it. Tears spewing out of my eyes pretty much the whole time, and decided not to do my usual thing of perfecting each line, I just recorded every line as it came. This will be my next release. You can turn on notifications by following the link in the comments below
During this campaign I will be raising money for the RNLI, the group of brave men and women who spent hours tirelessly looking for Joe after the night he went missing. I'll also be donating 50% of the profit on all copies of the 'Freckled Angels' album directly to Joes family as a nice surprise gift. I will include links to the RNLI donation page below where 100% of the money will go to support them, I will be travelling to the UK later this month to make a music video, and have carved out a couple of days where I will travel to my home town on the isle of Anglesey to present the royal national lifeboat institution with a cheque of all the money raised.
Wow that makes it hit so much harder
@@RobReacts22 Yeah it's hard to imagine being that close to maybe making a difference. I can't fathom what that makes you do to yourself.
REN always hits straight to the heart! 😢❤
Ren. Literally saving lives one song at a time. And,sadly,he'll probably still take that guilt to his grave. I'm 58 and still carry the guilt that I might have prevented my father dying when I was only 16.......logically I know I couldn't have,but in my heart I feel like I failed him😔
His beautiful tribute to Joe. Ren is truly an amazing human being and hoping he will work through his survivor guilt.❤
His best friend Joe Hughes. He tells the story on his community page. Ren's Freckled Angels album is dedicated to Joe. Also the song How to be Me by Ren and Chinchilla is about this.
RIP Joe. Ren is such a special human with what he does and how he can hit us right in the heart.
It's really weird to watch reactors that are dry eyed at the end of this.. you're not one of them. Nice reaction man!
Yes ! Ren is mesmerizing... his music captivates my soul ! Ren you are the GOAT brother ! Thank you !!! Renegade hugs for everybody ! Great reaction ! Appreciated !
SOO sad for him. Survivors guilt will EAT YOU UP! 😭😭😭 BEAUTIFULLY SAD! 😏✌️🫶🫂🔥🎶
RIP Joe Hughes 🖤
There really is little one can say....other than this is probably the most powerful song I've ever heard. Can anyone name another?
I definitely can but this is right up there with all of them...so good
@@RobReacts22 I can name a lot but they are ghostwriters and their music is in so many videos and have views in the billions all over CZcams. But I dont know of one person eho can do it like Ren other then Prince and other greats
Ren got ya and RIP Joe great reaction ~~~~ I wrote what I think peole have made Ren or The Ren out to be. They've named me a wandering bard,
A timeless and enigmatic nomad,
But I feel lost within myself,
Unsure of where my heart is at,
A chameleon of the human race,
A trickster, a sage, a shifting face,
THE SAGE OF TALES, untamed and wild,
Unraveling truths with a knowing smile.
I wonder if I still possess,
The fire, the strength, the tenderness,
To sing with the voice of countless years,
And dance like dreams that never wither,
Can I still weave a web of tales,
Drawing wisdom from hidden wells,
No longer certain, I hesitate,
As I stand at destiny's gate.
My goal was once to bring delight,
Through melodies that dance in flight,
Yet now I question my own role,
In the grand scheme of the cosmic whole,
Is it laughter or the bitter truth,
That I must share with the world uncouth,
As the minstrel who sees the core,
Of what humanity's striving for.
The jester, they say, can speak the truth,
While others hide in masks uncouth,
A voice of reason in a world of lies,
I am the proof, the truth that cries,
But now I wonder if I have the strength,
To bear the weight of truth's full length,
To guide the lost and heal the blind,
And bring the world a peace of mind.
To break the chains of false belief,
And offer solace, hope, relief,
I must return to innocence,
Embrace the child within, and hence,
Confront the lies, the pain, the strife,
And start anew, a fresh new life,
For I am stronger than I know,
In this journey where truth must grow.
No longer here for jest or scorn,
For kings and queens who've long been worn,
I stand before you, truth in hand,
To save mankind from its own demand,
From savagery and cruel fate,
I share my wisdom, love, and hate,
A guide, a friend, a soul reborn,
Just a human, seeking truth's forlorn.
Keith B Moran
Yeah, that ending hits hard, doesn’t it? It’s a more recent addition to the song that really completed it. And made it absolutely heart wrenching. Stunning vulnerability and beautiful song.
suicide, suicide, suidice
Oh I, Oh I, Oh I've
fallen through the cracks of the night sky
A light goes out on the other side,
suicide, suicide, suidice
Oh I, Oh I, Oh I'm
treading on the tracks in the night time
It never really felt like the right time
suicide, suicide, suicide
I'm so fucking lonely beneath this,
narcisistic, cant keep a secret,
miscount sheep, I can't sleep, a misfit
Some say troubled, but some say sadistic,
Bruises my brother, one time or the other,
my skin felt counterfeit, silicone, rubber
Bruises my sister, skin pop the blister
dig deep resist the feeling when it hits you
Oh I, Oh I, Oh I've
fallen through the cracks of the night sky
A light goes out on the other side,
suicide, suicide, suidice
Oh I, Oh I, Oh I'm
treding on the tracks in the night time
It never really felt like the right time
suicide, suicide, suicide
[sample] Sick boi, sick boi, bitten by a tick boi
I feel like its not me its the world thats sick
I'm so fucking washed up and sea sick
masochistic kid with a split lip
six feet deep I can't eat im nervous
won't stay down 'cause my body purges
useless my mother, cant keep in my supper
skin so pale 'cause my cheeks leak colour
Truth is my father, you choose your karma
draw for the sword then drive through the armour
Oh I, Oh I, Oh I've
fallen through the cracks of the night sky
A light goes out on the other side,
suicide, suicide, suidice
Oh I, Oh I, Oh I'm
treding on the tracks in the night time
It never really felt like the right time
suicide, suicide, suicide
Suicide suicide suicide
Suicide suicide suicide
Suicide suicide suicide
Suicide suicide suicide
It's hard to take off from the ground when your wings are cut,
Your stomach burns when you're drinking from an empty cup,
You know the entire ocean came from my tear ducts?
I see the world through fibonacci sequences and Double Dutch
I guess there’s some that’s born lucky, there’s some that’s not
I tried to cut away my bitterness - hatchet job
I locked my youth in a trunk inside a pick up truck
Then dumped the whole thing over the same bridge the night you jumped
I think about that sometimes , vividly
What it felt like to look down and see tranquility
One sudden movement in a world of possibility
Only one movement to expose our fragility
I fucking miss you and I miss myself
I miss thinking that were indestructible as well
I miss chilling by the pier cave and kicking back
Wirth Callum, Hugo, Sagar, Justin, Stevie and the fuckin lads
I miss missing that, I numbed myself to close the gap,
I never even call em up the distance is my plaster cast,
The truth is that the day you jumped my childhood jumped too,
But I still can’t find the anger all I find is missing you
Man I miss you,
with all my rhymes
I picture running 5 minutes quicker, I'm right on time
I picture pulling you back over the edge and then were crying
And holding you my brother and telling you that it's fine
that’s not the way that I worked
Coz I was late like a jerk
There's not a day where I could find a way to break from the hurt
Your body missing so we never got to wave to the hearse
I hope your listening , I love you man, I miss you absurd
Fuck
1st part is his perspective.. which he felt was unfinished.. added the second part about Joe after the Know Hill interview.
What a Heart of Gold Ren has to be brave enough to share this one.
This is the rawest song I've ever heard.
This one does hit hard and goes straight to the heart, but I love that Ren is willing to let us come along on all of his musical journeys, and all of the places they take us. If you’re looking for a lighter song to bring the mood back up, you should try his song “what you want”
That last part hit me harder than any song ever has. Much ❤ for Ren. Great reaction btw.
Hey Rob how u been? U like that rodeo clown vid i sent? Lol. This one is a roller coaster of emotion. The style really reminds me of The Gorillaz which is one of my favorite bands of all time. Ren out did himself with this one and im sure Joe would be proud to have this masterpiece made in his honor.
Well done Ren. And I really hope he knows that it doesnt matter what anyone elses opinion is about this because this one was for his well being and it's helping others from making the same irreversible tragic choice of ending it all.
You did better than me Rob ,i was a crying mess 😢
I read this video was created using AI.
Rest easy Joe.
Rip :Joe Hughes , God bless.
🎶🎶❤️🎶🎶Joined at the soul with a pair of headphones 🎧❤️
Ren give us all permission to cry! mad respect for you reaction! thank you
Thank you for a very heartfelt reaction. ❤
The wnd of this song made me ugly cry the dirst time I heard it. The only other song that sis that to me is NF's " How Could You Leave Us". I love when artists give us raw emotion in their songs. It helps to relate to them. I love this song so much anway though.
Much love, Rob ❣️✌️
thank you for reacting to this beautiful and powerful song sending big love from the UK ❤❤
Bro I love your reactions!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you man I got through a lot of stuff and I like that you are available.
Heart wrenching and so important!
Bro, appreciate your reaction and the person you are.
Yeah, this one is hard to digest.
He leveled up from Hi Ren.
Didn’t think that was possible yet here we are.
Glad to see you again been missing your reactions hope all is well
Bro you deserve 10x the views and comments on your reactions! This one was tough, so you might consider a Ren palate cleanser with his banger Losing It, or What You Want…sure fire ways to put a smile on your face!🔥🔥🔥
🖤🖤🖤
To me, the beauty of this structure is hard to compass. The first section gets inside the urge to do it - while counseling restraint - and then at the end he goes straight for the heart to vividly tell us what we'll leave behind if if we do it. Like Chalk Outlines is the best anti-drug song I've ever heard, this is the best anti-suicide song I can imagine.
Wondered where you were, glad you are back.
Amazing reaction as usual bro
Ed Sheeran is very good at what he does but he is not Ren. Ren is special, no one touches his talent. He is in a league of his own and the genre is called "Ren". Other artist will have to practice (for yrs) in every facet of music and excel to compete with him. Ren would never ever say that but as a fan that loves him, I am.
💕💕💕💕
R.I.P. Joe
Pretty sure Ren is not saying “Useless (is) my mother” - instead he is using “mother” “father” “brother” “sister” in the same way - ie as part of a sentence (I am) useless (my mother), (cos I) can’t keep in my supper ….
You could substitute father, brother or sister for mother (except they don’t fit the rhyme scheme) …..
Hmmm ok
❤
988 in the US for help
I need help
Not sure if I can help...I'm a good listener though if u need to talk
@@RobReacts22 I have a very bad spiked kidney stone that makes it not function anymore and I also have fistula (bridge) that goes from my kidney to my colon. So every few days I have to go to the hospital to get IV antibiotics. They want to remove my fistula and part of my colon and reattached the colon. But it's two of the rarest things anyone can get and every hospital is scared to do the surgery because it's so complex....I have a 10 your daughter that have to live for. That's my story
How can I reach out to you ?

Wooooowwww. Knox is straight up bullying this dude. Maybe he’ll learn to stop calling people out well above his weight class. 😂 clout chasing for real…
Ffs! Just read the lyrics. It would be a lot less painful to watch. Almost 10 minutes in and we've finally reached the second half of the song. If you do the same, to this darkly poetic expression oheartfelt anguish and guilt, I'm out of here...
Sayys 'I'm going to let it run". 10 seconds later... pauses unnecessarily to say he's not going to pause...
What's your channel name ill watch how you do it...
