The Ren Effect It’s his bottle of light That fills empty cups It’s his melody that touches our souls It’s the words that hit home For the scared and alone That leads them past the fiery coals It’s a glimmer of hope A pause in the scope That allows us a moment to feel To connect in a sense Under no false pretense To the sounds with a vast loved appeal It’s his journey embarked That we feel apart Watching him grow and transform In front of our eyes His music revives And shields us from the eye of the storm From mainstream to obscure His message is pure He sings, and the audience hears His guitar is his wand That tightens the bond To the things that we all hold most dear And it’s artists like him That keep us filled to the brim With joy that they’re sharing their gift With something to say In a meaningful way Through performances that shouldn’t be missed He implements ideas That brings crowds to tears When evoking emotional tones Or he’s quick with a pun In lighthearted fun Using beats that he made on his own He’s a writer, producer A linguistic abuser Using rhymes that are multi-complex His schemes are unreal He’s got skill; the real deal And he’s not shy to show you or flex He’s a force on the scene Far from routine He’s got a voice that needs to be heard He’s got an ear for his pitch That’s melodic and rich And he’s got talent that’s borderline absurd

I thought maybe he was going for a walk, headphones in. Maybe he was meeting someone. After a few minutes he walked up to a tree, and fired four shots into it. One into himself. Leaving six shells on the ground. 5 bullet shells, and one, the shell of a man I looked up to. Thank you, Ren, and community for providing a space to share this. Irl people don't want to hear it.

Giving his time and his energy to us. He admitted that here, and I'm just glad he recognizes it. He has given us so very much of himself. I'm very grateful and thankful!

Ren (Chinese: 仁, meaning "co-humanity" or "humaneness") is a Confucian virtue meaning the good quality of a virtuous human when reaching for higher ideals or when being altruistic. Ren is exemplified by functional, instinctual, parental feelings and intentions of encouragement and protection for their children. It is considered the outward expression of Confucian ideals.

I got a puppy 8 years ago. I struggled with what to name him. It took a few weeks, after a lot of research, I decided on "Ren". There's a few meanings to the name depending on language. It also means love. The only reason I found this Ren is KZitem suggested a song called 'Hi Ren'. What a gift that he shares his soul and talent with us. How lucky are we? P.s. my dog's nature with children and other dogs tells me I name him correctly. He's patient, gentle and just the best.

All I know is when ppl tell you how much you’ve helped them they aren’t exaggerating. I battle childhood trauma, depression and anxiety every day. Over a year ago life did a 180 and really fell apart. Somehow, right then, I found Hi Ren. Yes you’re extremely talented and your music speaks to so many, but you’re also passionate, open, empathetic, humble and know how to relate to others without judging because you’ve been there too.

Today's been a roller coaster of emotions. I attended my aunt's funeral. Too sudden and too soon, yet after 30 years finally reunited with her son. He died of an accidental overdose age 20. Hugging my family and feeling their love was profound and filled my heart. Then I arrived home to some wonderful photos of my 6 year old autistic granddaughter, beaming from ear to ear. Things have been hard lately for my daughter. Raising a child with special needs alone. And my first thought regarding my granddaughter was "I hope the world is kind to her". I hope she smiles forever. This video of Ren sharing his life and some of those terrible dark moments caused me to break down. Life can be so cruel. And I only pray we learn to start lifting eachother up, and hug eachother more. Hug eachother TOO much. As you never know when it will be the last hug you receive from someone ❤

At times I felt trapped because there was nothing I could do and I watched my sister and everyone around me having children and it was the one thing I wanted most in the world. It made relationships hard to navigate and is something I still have to live with but life brought me to a relationship that I can still take care of 2 beautiful children like they're my own.

Right from the start I could feel how hard this was on Ren and the impact it was probably having on everyone watching. My dad drowned on holiday but only he and my mum were abroad and at 10 it was so hard not being there to know I could have saved him. In short he was jet lagged and went snorkling without any rest and I'm told he passed out then he washed up on the shore. It affected mentally in ways that are insane to try and explain but it hardened me up and I bottled it inside. None of my family ever helped me though it, no therapy and moving away just about stopped me going down a very dark path. Drinking and smoking by the age of 12 and taking drugs a few years later. Moving away was a fresh start but it took years to find the real me and be confident and talkative. It wasn't till I turned 21 I even visited where my dad is buried. Partly because my mum didn't bring me after the funeral and I suppose I never wanted to accept or embrace seeing it. I finally opened up and talked about it. Found a partner, had a kid and do OK for myself. I still struggle daily but mentally I hold it together well but wish everyone would show more love and kindness towards each other. I love music and life and my family though I feel like expressing it is so hard. That's one thing I think I'll always struggle to do. I hope Ren looks after himself and every day people who suffer take care of themselves. Suicide is not the way to go. Life and love is precious and you only get one chance at it.

Pots is postural orthostatic tachycardia. So that means that my blood pressure drops and my heart rate goes up when my body changes positions if I sit in one position too long like in a car with my legs hanging down all the blood will pool in my legs and it will start to hurt. This also makes it very hard to stay hydrated because your blood just doesn’t seem to absorb what you drink so you have to drink a lot of electrolytes, salt, potassium, magnesium. I have a very high sodium diet and I’m constantly drinking something. I would really search dysautonomia. There are a lot of things that can help but it takes a lot of time. I would recommend getting compression garments and looking into electrolyte drinks and salt tablets. And watching carbs when you eat.

I went to bed and the next day I woke up with full blown arthritis. Nobody knows how or why it happened but it did. I can relate to feeling like you’ve woken up in the wrong body, that this isn’t normal. I can also relate to people telling you it will go just as quickly as it arrived. People say it to bring comfort but when you suddenly feel so alien it’s hard to feel that there will be any positive outcome.

I've lost everyone that I've ever loved and now there's nobody left. I wish I could swap places with any of them. Between 2005 and 2011 I lost my mum, my dad, my dog (who really was my sidekick) and then split up with my then girlfriend of 13 years. We stayed as best best friends and never really stopped loving each other although I feel hers was feeling sorry for me too. True to her word when we split she still took my new dog at night so i could work nightshift and not leave the seperation anxiety dog alone and in 8 years she never let me down with babysitting him even once. She regularly came over and stayed and we spoke daily. It was what it was. Then in 2020 that dog died and she followed in 2022. Life stinks and weed helps a little but alcohol defo doesn't. Oh one more thing I also got diagnosed with probable ms 8 years ago though luckily nothing else has really happened with it since. Life stinks so open the window and take a deep breath. Now try and ignore that overwhelming stink and try and smell the roses above it. It's not easy but once in a while u get a floral scent. That's my life in a nutshell. What a shame!

REN is simply incredible! A poet of the past, present and future, he’s timeless and real and seems to find a way of communicating it perfectly. Life is just so hard and beautiful at the same time. I love what he has done, what he’s doing today and the promise of hearing what he’s going to do next! Bravo! And condolences at the same time… please keep going, the world needs you more than you will ever know

Thank you for sharing your story. It takes courage to stand up and do so. I was taught in my medical training to always listen to the patient. If they tell you something is wrong in their body, believe them. Don't write them off or dismiss them. The way I practice medicine is to keep searching for answers until I find them. It is a blessing to me to be able to work with patients like you who have been dismissed and traumatized by our medical system. I recommend your videos and music to my patients. Thank you for your inspiration.

Thank you dearest Ren for so selflessly sharing your story in order to raise awareness to chronic illnesses like ME and Lyme and also give inspiration & comfort to those still suffering. I didn’t think I could personally respect and feel so much love for someone I’ve not met in person. You ARE making a difference in the world. Thank you for sharing your light. “A rising tide lifts all ships”. ❤

I`m speechless right now. It takes a lot of courage and strength and it`s painful and uncomfortable not only to go back to those kind of memories and feelings and to confronting yourself with them in such an uncompromising way but also to share those experiences and emotions so authenticly with people to offer them visibility and companionship. Take care for yourself while doing so. I have massive respect and love for you! Thank you. ❤

Ren- if you read this great, if not it’s ok because I just need to say this. I’m much older and have lived my life struggling like everyone does, no matter what kind of life they have. Like you said in another of your songs, we are all human and we are all involved in the human condition in our own way. You are def meant for something great. I know you didn’t mean to, but you’ve already helped so many by giving them a reason to hold on one more day. You are the voice of your generation, without a doubt. I hope you find what you are searching for…I hope you are able to find your happy. Chapter 1 was beautiful and inspiring and I can’t wait to hear more. For Joe was so beautiful…thank you for sharing your heart with us…

thank you REN. Es fällt mir schwer meine Gefühle in Worten auszudrücken, noch schwerer in Englisch als in Deutsch. Du berührst mein Herz. Deine Musik kam auch bei mir zu einem Zeitpunkt an dem der Schmerz am größten war, zwar endlich diagnostiziert aber mit dieser Beigeschmack des Leidens der letzten Jahre. Auch bei mir wurde die Psyche verantwortlich gemacht für meinw ‚Symptome‘ obwohl der zeitliche Ablauf anders herum war - die psychischen Probleme kamen als mir immer wieder gesagt wurde, ich hätte ‚nichts‘. Wir hEDS Patienten nennen uns 🦓 weil bei Hufgetrappel immer alle erstmal an Pferde denken - wir aber auch Hufe haben. Unsere Symptome sind vielseitig, es ist eine Bindegewebserkrankung. If you can‘t find the issue, think connective tissue…. Das wusste ich sogar, weil ich 4 Jahre lang in der Histopathologie gearbeitet habe. Aber es kam mir nicht in den Sinn, das auf mich selbst zu beziehen. Es wäre leicht sich jetzt als dämlich zu bezeichnen, aber damit höre ich geade auc. Alle Schritte führten zu diesem Punkt in meinem Leben. Deine Geschichte in all ihrer Klarheit, dein Ärger und deine Worte helfen mir im Heilungsprozess. Wir singen deine Lieder hier in Deutschland, bei unseren Mini Brun Fest gab es schon letztes Jahr einen Tribut für dich. Also nochmals, danke. Ich werde weiter zuhören 🫶

Love the Aldous Huxley reference at 2m30s, Ren. He was the hero of the intellectual awakening of my 20's and his brilliant mind has stayed with me in the following 3 decades, even though I haven't read his books for many years. "After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music" Aldous Huxley Music At Night book 1948 Bless you Ren, you are a messenger for the best side of humanity. Here is another Aldous quote for you, Ren. "The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm". That's you, that is, Ren.

Thanks for sharing your story with us, Ren. I’m glad you are bringing awareness, which I hope will lead to much needed changes. I relate all too well with losing a close friend to S. I was the one who found my best friend after he’d done the deed. Then just a few months later, my overseas girlfriend decided she’d had enough as well, and ended it. Today, I lost my godmother, my aunt, after a year of battling a brain tumor and cancer. Life is so fragile. I’m glad I’ve survived long enough to discover your amazing talent. Be well, Ren.

Ren, two things about that *knowing* that you were meant to do something important that changes the world for the better: 1) You most definitely are. You'll never know how many minds you touch, hearts you lift, lives you save. None of us ever can, and there's a tragic beauty in that, isn't there? Tragic in that we should all be able to see - truly *see* - the light and positivity which any of us spread forth into the world. Tragic we don't see the truth of our loving efforts. How reassuring it is, assuring us that it's all worth it, that the hurts and the heartache are worth it. Beautiful in that if we ever did see all of that light we spread, it would blind us. Beautiful in that would leave us washed away by a tidal wave of taking on the heavy weight of obligation to do it forevermore. It is that ignorance of our true impact on this world which protects us from an intense pressure we don't deserve - especially for those of us who DO feel that calling. I feel one, too, and I'm thrilled you've found ways to live into it! ❤ 2) I want to share but one example of your impact. One year ago today, my friend's son (who had also battled with both physical and psychiatric health issues) accidentally killed himself by overdose of his psych meds. He had gone without his medications and went into psychosis, experiencing an episode during which he apparently scrambled to course correct and took a progressively lethal dose. The autopsy and toxicology results show that he had taken the pills over the course of several hours, likely not remembering that he had already taken them, or desperate to make the voices go away. But he had sworn to his mother that after watching her go through burying his brother even the boys were young, he would never do that to her. He would never kill himself. He regularly promised this throughout the second ⅔ of his life. That's how she instinctively knew it was accidental. But a month later, I was struck with this incredibly DO THIS - DO THIS NOW kind of feelings that I HAD to share both Hi Ren and Patience (my favorite version, the one on Ayesha Jones' channel) with her. I did so with a trigger warning, and the insistence there was no rush and to listen when she feels ready. She listened immediately, having been hit hard with a similar overwhelming feeling to trust me and my timing and to listen now. After she listened to both, she called me to thank me for being her son's voice, for letting him offer her reassurance from beyond. Now I'm a believer, so that was a beautiful thing to feel as though I had a hand in it, but it was only a hand. I'm honored to have been a conductor, but it was your art which truly offered her that reassurance, that peace. She's since become another huge fan of yours. How could she not? Your music is raw, honest, authentic. It speaks to so much for so many, and that's fucking RAD, Ren. We've never met, but I'm proud of you as hell. ❤

I had lost hope in today's music, never listening to new releases, never finding new artists memorable. My day was the 90s rap scene, grunge, alternative, and 80s new wave. I stick mostly to what I know and appreciate. I just happened to come across reaction videos on KZitem, a new rabbit hole to explore, and man, I am glad I did. I found Ren this way and in turn Chinchilla. My faith in music continues and amazing artists blowing away the greats of our history are alive and well in the UK.

Ren, I know you probably won't read this, but I'll write it anyway. I, around the same age as you, also screamed to a void in my room that I would defeat evil, and challenged them. Even saying that if I lost, I would give myself up if they were to free everyone else from my own fate. Then for the past decade, things have shifted from bad, to worse, to different things getting healed but overall a steady decline, and i can't help but think about that day. I'm not a super religious person, but knowing that someone as brilliant as you went through the same struggles and ideas as me, gives me so much hope. I'm doing better today, and i hope to be even better tomorrow. Thank you for your music, and thank you even more for sharing your story. It has helped me immensely.
