Freckled angels, is a song he wrote for Joe when he died and sung to his family and friends, because Joe was covered in freckles. Ren arrived at the bridge 2-5 mins too late, after a friend called him to say Joe had called her to say goodbye.

There's a lot more background about Ren's friend Joe Hughes in one of his community posts: kzitem.infoUgkxuzvMgxNIvSQrECFs5RmQcrR2Z2uIAx_q This song is partly a live performance of the last part of his previous song (kzitem.info/news/bejne/z2mAtKicomaHlWU) and also parts of his earlier song "Freckled Angels" which he also made in tribute to Joe and performed at Joe's funeral.

Ren filmed this up in Calgary Canada where he's been for treatment. His boy Sam who films almost all of his videos except for the animated videos and Animals flow, but Sam was there for a while and they filmed alot. Ren is back in the UK for a month doing more filming and yesterday was in his hometown back in Whales and gave a check for 21,000 pounds to the volunteer organization that was out immediately looking for Joe after he jumped and kept looking for him for days. All the proceeds were from his last song, su!cide Then he met with Joe's parents for the first time in 12 years and gave them 8,600 pounds also from the money made from the song. He played them this song, For Joe, said they all cried and hugged. His parents were besides themselves because they've been saving up for a camper van they wanted to name Joe and travel all over the UK and with that money they can finally afford it. He posted news clips from his visit and also bugged people out because in one news interview he was speaking Welsh and people were so confused lol

Ren was on his way to the bridge after a phone call that woke him up at 3 in the morning from a mutual friend, who Joe had called from the bridge, but he was too late, Joe had already gone. This song is amazing, beautiful and heartbreaking. Ren had said he was going to give us a live version of su!c!de but that it would be different. I wouldn't have ever thought he'd take the last verse from it, reimagine a verse from Dominoes and freckled angels and then end with the chorus from freckled angels creating a whole new song, and do it all on the piano. If you haven't checked out the songs Su!c!de, Dominoes and Freckled Angels (which Ren wrote as an homage to Joe shorty after he'd passed), you really should, it might lend more meaning to some of the lyrics. There is so much talent and skill here...and his courage to share it with us in the most vulnerable ways.

Forgive the pun, but he's a definite RENaissance man. This is a medley of Suic!de, a retake of Dominos and an original piece moving into the chorus of Freckled Angels. It's amazing. Has me in tears every time. Freckled Angels is a tribute to Joe, and the title track of his first album. Really nice discussion of the need to be open, and the darkness that can swallow some. Ren's ability to be completely vulnerable while performing lets you know it's OK to let people in. The best thing you can do for a friend on the edge is LISTEN.

You’re so wise and right about people in despair thinking they don’t deserve to be helped. I think this is why Ren, music, poetry, books all help. When you see *someone else* suffering, it frees the spirit up and you’re on their side, even if the dark feelings mean you can’t be on your own side. But wanting someone else, a stranger, to live really helps you to catch a glimpse of your own situation with compassion. It lets you step outside the clutches of depression maybe long enough to help yourself. This was a beautiful reaction. You felt it and you explained it all so well ❤

He was running to Joe in the middle of the night to stop him from jumping. He'd had a call from a friend that Joe was saying goodbyes. Got his clothes on, ran the 10min to the bridge, calling Joe on the phone along the way. Joe didn't pick up. Half way, the phone stopped ringing. He got to the bridge and no one was there. He missed Joe by minutes.
