This is a tribute for one of my best friends Callum Mackay. For a long time I wanted to write him a song, but every time I sat down I couldn't think of the right words which left me feeling frustrated. Callum died very shortly after Joe, another very dear friend. Trying to process both created a bit of a block, and to be honest ever since I haven't really been able to fully grieve whenever I loose someone close to me.
One day while sat at the piano I was playing around with melodies and this came out. Sometimes I don't have words to explain or express the thing that wants to be expressed. In those moments I'm so grateful for music
This is for you Callum Mackay

One of the reasons I love Ren, coming off the back of a number one album most artists would be desperately searching for their next number one hit, Ren has kept it very low key, and announces he's releasing a piano only instrumental, you can tell he's just in it because he loves and respects music so much and we all benefit by getting raw and real content, respect!

I am a HS music teacher and this Hans Christian Anderson quote has been on my wall for 25 years. "Where words fail, music speaks." Keep making music, Ren!

Ren, I am a 54-year-old father of 2 sons close to your age in New Jersey, America. My generation was raised to not display ANY emotion if you are a male and I realized as I got older that this was just fundamentally wrong and really bad for my mental health, I did not raise my children this way and I know it was the correct decision. I have been a RENegade for over a year now and I just wanted to tell you that you are a true inspiration to even me. I love that you have persevered through more than most and can still be so loving and in touch with others with great perspective and Insight. All of this and still have the determination to put out such meaningful and poignant art. I say art because, it's so much more than just music, you're a poet, entertainer, a true artist in every sense of the word. I have never seen anyone that I would rather my own sons look up to than you, and not because of your music, but because of your immense character.

The lost art of saying something without using words. You're something else man, hands down the best performer there is. Don't ever fit in a singular box, be you.

Single mom of a son who lost his dad at 14 heâs 25 now. I heard him singing this weird tune when he thought I couldnât hear him. Had no clue what it was then a friend showed me Hi Ren. I immediately knew what he had been singing. At first I was scared it was so dark and beautiful. Then me and my son had a talk and he showed me more and more of what youâve done. Then I watched interviews and learned even more. My son actually said mom thatâs the only album Iâve ever bought. I was so happy to hear that. He doesnât talk about his grief but I truly believe youâve helped him through your music. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. If you ever come to Washington state weâll be there to watch.

Masterpiece.
My 5 year old walks in, âthis is beautiful music. Is he real? Can we see him?â
Good on you, mate. Youâre a gem.

I donât know why, but this piece sounds like water - tears, rainfall, waterfalls, the swell of waves, and the tide ebbing and flowing, I love it Ren, thank you.

What adds to the tragedy of the drowning of Callum Mackay is that another lad also 22 died from drowning trying to save Callum's life . Lewis Darroch received a posthumous bravery award . He was holding Callum in the water trying to pull on to some rocks but was unsuccessful , tired and swept out to sea aswell

Mackay in Gaelic means Son of Fire. The sunlight blazing away on the deep time lines of the rock face behind seems fitting for such a tribute. Happy birthday Callum, and happy birthday Ren!

Is there any limit to this man's talent?
Writing, playing multi instruments, rapping, singing, doing covers his way.
He is a MASSIVE ray of musical hope and joy.

I have worked in the music business for years with many bands. I have NEVER come across ANY artist as gifted as REN. Pure talent in ANY genre. How on earth Ren has these skills and ability is incredible. Literally outstanding. Also keep in mind that I have worked with so much talentless crap that I am the most critical person on earth ! REN is in a league of his own. Bizarrely I found REN by mistake as my surname is Fisher ! So after 'Losing it' I found REN, Best artist ever !!!! Genius !!!!

I lost my boyfriend to suicide in 1999. I was 18 and he was 20 at the time of his death. Almost 25 years later and I still miss him and think about him every day. This lovely piano piece made me think of the sadness I felt losing him but the gratitude I feel that I was lucky enough to have him. Im quite literally in tears here! Thank you Ren. I am a lover of all things music and come from a very musically inclined family myself. I have been losing interest lately because there is nothing out there exciting or capturing me emotionally.....until i accidentally stumbled upon a YouTube video of someone reacting to Hi Ren and that was it. Your music invokes a response from me in all the best ways. I think you are a rare talent. An exceptionally gifted young man and I'm so damn glad I stumbled across that video. You connect with people on a different level. And not everyone has that gift. I hope to be following your journey as an artist and enjoying your music for many years to come. Wishing you all the success and happiness you can handle!

In an era where an instrumental is nearly forbidden in popular music...once again:
Here comes REN!!!

I can't quite believe this, it was my friends funeral today. Shona Mackay. R.I.P. An incredible coincidence and a beautiful piece of music. â¤

To me Ren isn't 'just like' or 'the next' or 'this generation's', that would seem to diminish him. He is simply Ren, a man unto his own talent, style, a unique human being. Complicated while exuding simplicity and ease. The work he puts in to appearing effortless is extraordinary, and I'm grateful every time I listen that I've had this opportunity before there were no more đâď¸

The reverence Iâve developed for Ren has been a continual evolution and itâs derived out of the many of hours spent watching and experiencing his works of art! How do you know when someone is beyond compare? When they create a deep desire in others to want to be better humans! That is just one of the many gifts Ren continues to bless us with! Thank You Ren!

You can download Mackay here renmakesmusic.lnk.to/mackay Today is one of my favorite peoples birthday. There was a few times we shared birthday parties cause they were so close together, they were always chaotic and awesome. This is me sharing my birthday with him once more. Callum was one of those friends who was constant throughout school, he was a year older than me, always positive, always down to get up to whatever stupid shit was on the menu that day. Fond memories of getting older kids to go get us a bottle of vodka, then heading into the woods behind the co-op and getting so drunk we'd usually end up either throwing up or creating beautifully blurry memories. I loved and looked up to that guy so much. The last time I saw him was ironically at Joes funeral, I'd just won two bottles of wine on the raffle we set up, which was the last time I ever drank alcohol. I decided it would be a sensible idea to drink both, and we had a great send off, felt right all the lads being together in one place, despite the circumstances. Me and call were both absolutely hammered and reminiscing about old times and it felt just like being back in the woods. I got the news Callum had died 6 months after Joe took his life. At the age of 21 it was really difficult for me to process that two of my best friends could die in such a short space of time. Joe dying had hit me so hard that I was almost unable to process Callum going shortly after. I wanted to write something for him for such a long time to pay tribute, but there was a mental block and nothing ever felt right. One day I was sat by my piano and I started to play with no real intention, and this song came out of me that had no words, just music, and for some reason it managed to express what I wasnt able to with words. It felt fitting to hold onto it and release it for his birthday. This is for Callum Mackay Love and miss you always. Ren
