Ren - For Joe (Live Performance Video)
After Joe died the visits I paid to North Wales were fleeting. By being somewhere new I could be someone new. Brighton didn't just offer me a new chapter, it offered me a new book, and a whole new character.
On Monday I would make the difficult journey home because of music and the fund raising efforts of my incredible following. We managed to raise an incredible Ā£21,000 for the RNLI, an incredible team of volunteers, who risk their lives without pay to aid calls of distress from British shores. The night Joe went missing they were out on the choppy stretch of water between Anglesey and the Mainland, until 5am, looking for Joe, without pay, from the goodness of their hearts. They continued the search efforts for the entire following week until hope dwindled. They owed us nothing, and gave us everything.
Yesterday I decided to pay a visit to Joe's mum and dad. I was asked to play them the new live session I recorded in Calgary. It was probably the most nervous I've been playing someone a video that I'd made. The topic isn't an easy one, especially for parents who have lost an incredible son. I nervously hit play, and the gravity of what I was showing sunk in and I began to cry. In the end we sat in silence, silently sobbing. Joes mum turned to me and smiled and we hugged, and I felt much lighter.
It made me really realise I guess what I've always known. Music is far more than music. It's a channel of communication for the things that are impossible to say. It's a bridge between the living and the dead. It's a way to stay immortal. It's a way to resurrect the dead. It's a universal language. It cuts down barriers of the parts of you which are encapsulated in steel cast iron. It allows frozen rivers to thaw and become un-stagnant. I owe myself, my life, everything I am to music. Music is the closest thing to god I know. I am so grateful to be doing what I do and to tap into this mystic force. My life, my energy, myself, I eternally devote to it.

This is what YouTube is for. Making a star from the ground up. No record company reaping profits from his talent. No radio station manipulation. Just a man with extraordinary talent who has smashed through the chests of an audience with his ability to tell stories through music. Ren - you are already a legend.

They killed one of my best friends in Atlanta last month. This song is a small island of peace.

I lost my best friend to the sea when I was 17, 44 now, and this is the closest to closure I have ever felt. Thank you, bro š

As always lyrics here for everyone who wants them:
Its hard to take off from the ground when your wings are cut
Your stomach burns when your 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 thereās some thatās born lucky and thereās some thatās not
I tried to cut away my bitterness hatchet job
I locked my troubles in a trunk inside a pick up truck
Then dumped the whole thing over the same bridge the one 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 hell
I miss chilling by the pier cave and kicking back
Wirth Callum Hugo saga 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 canāt find the anger all I find is missing you
Man I miss you
with all my rhymes
I picture running 5 minutes quicker im right on time
I Picure pulling you back over the edge and then were crying
And holding you my brother and telling you that its fine
thatās not the way that I worked
Coz I was late like a jerk
Theres not a day I didnāt find a way to break from the hurt
Your body missing so we never got to wave to the herse
I hope your listening , I love you man, I miss you absurd
Fuck āØāØ
Burn Burn Burn on
Burn Burn Burn on
Another domino it falls
Across the way anotherās born
How you supposed to raise a child?
And give it courage from a storm
In a world that is confusing
Contradictions pave our floors
Some will say āweāre only humanāāØ
Others judge us for a flaws
Some get born In sheets of satin
Some get by in tattered clothes
Some will die before they live
Thats just how the story goes
But for those of us still with us
Who reside inside our hearts
Tell them proudly how you feel
And for those of us who arenāt
Freckled angels stand strong
Freckled angels live on
Freckled angels climb higher
Freckled angels still inspire
Freckled angels wont forget you
Teach me to live my life better
Thirteen years and still I miss you
Now my wings are missing feather
Otherwise id come and join you
But for now im here on earth
Stuck inside this mortal body
But for everything its worth
Made me stronger, made me wiser, made me braver, made me true
Made me face the world with courage,
And thats all because of you
Freckled angels laugh the hardest
And their hearts they are the largest
With their wings they fly the farthest
So I know youāre gonna be okay
Freckled angels live the longest
And their minds they are the strongest
Oh their friends they are the fondest
So I know youāre going to be okay

After listening to Ren, all other music I hear sounds dull and incomplete. Ren is on another level

I'm 52 years old. I don't even know how to describe what it's like listening to your music. It's unlike anything I've ever heard. Your music isn't just sound, it's an experience. I've shown people your music, and to be honest, most people don't get it. But, that's the beauty of your talent, not everyone will understand it. But those of us that do are forever grateful to you for creating art instead of noise. Noise dies, art is eternal. Your music is art. Never stop creating, and more importantly, sharing your creation with those of us that are hungry for something other than the audible diarrhea currently on display on the radio. Thank you for sharing your gift with us, I'd love to meet you some day and tell you in person. And I don't even like people lol

This song saved my life! I didnāt lose my friend to suicide. It was a car wreck that took a kids life and left me with a TBI. I lost sight of why I kept fighting everyday, couldnāt see the light and was ready to give up. Thanks Ren, for reminding me that I live on for the kid that wasnāt given the chance.

You know that joy you feel when the right one looks at you and says "i love you"? Seems i get those same butterflies now with the three little words: "New Ren Music" šā¤š

everyone: there's just no honest and relatable music being released nowadays.
Ren: hold my Shakesbeer.

Dear Ren, This is the first time I react to something on youtube. I am old enough to be in the last phase of my life and I feel myself so fortunate that I discovered you and your music. I cannot express in words what it means to feel the emotions you get across and set free at the same time. I feel honored that your music could become a part of my life this way.... Thx man ...

I lost my wife last year. Listening to this song in broke down for the first time in 9 months. Discovered you today. Iāve been listening tonthis song on repeat for an hour and crying. I know inhave to get strong and continue with my life, but right now injust want to listen to this and cry

Lit by a bottle of light, the backdrop a city of light.
Whatever darkness Ren has experienced, whatever pain, his exploration of it floods us with that same light, allowing each and every one of us to see how we hurt. Maybe for some of us it's the first time we've ever seen our true selves, because we have hidden ourselves from ourselves. To explore the hurt alone is to invite it to overwhelm us. But with Ren beside us we are suddenly able to transcend the deficit which previously limited our horizons.
I'm nearly seventy, and my horizons are naturally limited, but if I was a young man I'd be getting ready to follow and support Ren for the next few decades, as I'm sure many young people are. I've never seen or heard anyone like Ren Gill. It's not just that he is a genius, he is OUR genius, present in our time and our place, in our minds and hearts today. He's not some dusty figure from the past that we learn about from books. He's here. Now.
Ren has already changed lives, and I hope and believe that as he emerges into his butterfly stage he will change the world just enough to make a difference.

You are the definition of why music was invented. To create. To express. To connect. To laugh. To cry. To just be, YOU
This was BEAUTIFUL ššš

My comment is going to be lost amongst the crowd, but I felt the need to comment. I've only just found your music and I'm just blown away. Your story telling, and poetic lyrics discuss topics that are not talked about enough. So many people struggle in silence, not wanting to be a burden to others. Just having that small branch of finding something or someone that resonates so much, can make so much difference. Thank you Ren. Much love.

I'm 51, like many of us I have been to hell and back within those 51 years, but thankfully, I am still here, and I learned the magic trick Ren spoke of, I learned to relax. Ren, thank you mate for your music and thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting into words the thoughts and feelings so many of us have to live with and overcome. Peace and good health to you, stay strong.

Beautiful tribute Ren.
Simply beautiful.
Iām sure he hears you.
Iām not your father, but as a fatherā¦
Iām damn proud of you.
And Iām sure a certain freckled angel is too.
Well done.
