Others have already pointed out that it’s about the grief over his friend committing suicide (not easy to catch - especially not before the end of the song), but I just want to add that Ren has an older song called Freckled Angels that’s dedicated to Joe. It is beautiful and worth checking out ❤

Agreed. Watching that before this one came out made a much bigger impact.

'For Joe' is also a beautiful tribute to his friend, love Ren and his ability to use music to work through his emotions, he's so real and vulnerable on these kinds of tracks ❤

As others have said, it's about his friend who sadly took his own life. Ren touches on it in his other song "Depression" which is a must listen to song

I 2nd that... I want more reactors to due a dbl take of "Depression" and "Insomnia" which are both almost spoken word songs, short, and heart wrenching yet beautiful. Then again, "Pentinence" is also astounding, as is "Do You Believe", "Crutch", and on and on... for the 'emotional side' journey of Ren. I keep finding new gems. I just discovered his "Its Alright" video yesterday, not the Big Push one, but his solo video and it swelled my heart and made me want to go out and do something good for others. Pure gold there as well!

I, personally, think this song is about grief, and how it can consume you so completely you forget how to laugh and live, the way you did before you lost that piece of yourself. Trauma can do it too, it changes you.

His name was Joe Hughes and he took his own life in 2010 I think. The song “freckled angels” was written about him, it’s on an album with the same name.

Rensday is the BEST day ❤ Others have filled you in on the meaning of this song. Ren wrote 'Freckled Angels' for his friend, too. Quite early in his career, too, and it absolutely already has that trademark 'hit you in the feels' feeling to it. I love these two together, they just sound beautiful 😍

Thanks for the reaction. It could be interpreted in one of two ways (possibly more). Either from the point of view of the person that has taken their life, describing the feelings of despair. Or from the point of view of those left behind afterwards. I lean more towards the latter. Ren wrote it about a friend who took that quick decision and it clearly is something that has stayed with him. His song Freckled Angels is a beautiful tribute to his friend. RIP Joe. ❤️

The song was written about his friend who committed suicide. The bridge they sang on for this video is where his friend jumped from and his body has never been found. Its a trauma that affected Ren greatly. Great music (unfortunately) always seems to steam from tragedy… great reaction though! Not knowing the backstory I can definitely see where you got your interpretation 😊

Joe jumped off a different bridge. It almost looks like they are on a rooftop. It would be hard to close a bridge to all traffic while they likely took a handful of takes to get it perfect.

I can really see how you might think that this was written about how his life changed when he got sick. This is a song about grief and loss after all . I'm sure Ren had to grieve what he had lost ( his health ) his twenties. The life he thought he was going to have . Thanks so much for your reactions. I am really enjoying them. These two make magic together.

This is about how it feels to be depressed and to carry it around with you. I think it is multi-perspectual, from the point of views of his friend Joe and from his own life. We all change and can never be the same as before, with every major event in our life. It's definitely also from the perspective of mourning a loss, of a friend, and of the person he was before.

I looked up the semicolon symbol as it obviously had some significance. Apparently, the semicolon is a representation of strength in the middle of a storm. It is used as an affirmation of solidarity against a plethora of mental health issues including suicide, eating disorders and addictive behaviours.

"A quick decision late in the night" - I think, really not sure, his friend decided to jump rather abruptly. I guess there wasn't a lot of time between decision ... and action "That stayed with me, for all of my life" - I think we know what Ren is saying here. I can't imagine his pain. But at least now the story of his friend isn't going to just be remembered with his friends family and Ren, but with millions of other people around the world. Oh how drastically a seemingly quick decision can effect so many people.

Enjoyed your reaction to this masterpiece. Like yourself I was thinking the same that it was about his illness but as usual he hits you with those last lines. From my reading of many reactions it was about his friend Joe Hughes who jumped from the bridge where the song was recorded I believe. Here's a recording of him singing it in his bedroom and breaks down. kzitem.info/news/bejne/qa6X3XqsZqygeKg
