If you wana help secure that spot you can download Troubles on all platforms by following the link below Let's go!!! First official release of the year! renmakesmusic.lnk.to/troubles Heres the lyrics for anyone who wants them I don't reach into the past very much for these shards of shattered glass and harsh paper cuts, leave me stuck when I reach in, memories are seaped in hydrochloric acid, I go to war and get passive and freeze up, But music helped the ice to thaw, put a chizzel in the middle swing the hammer of Thor pull it out of the impossible, Excalibur sword etching note pads full of reasons why my feelings are sore The first day that I got sick ejected from cock pit of living Ninteen ,young teen, waking up Bitten posters up, man hunt, Ren went missing Hard to have faith when the gods don't listen The first year maybe was the hardest Waking in a body that was buried like a carcass Brain in the lions den Body in a sharkpit Waking up in pain again Aching broken hearted Persistent little bugger I was bouncing from a doctor to a doctor to a doctor like a table tennis game that has no end So be the fate of Ren Every single question asnwered with a question on the end The second year I came to terms with giving up my dreams mind severed from the means that helped me write these rhyme schemes brain was inflamed The fatigue was Crushing Hard to remain sane with your brain combusting And the third year was murder Living in a purga-tory full of worry wouldn't live to be thirty Life style style hurt me Always in my bed tomb Re-arrange the alphabet and all the letters spell doom Light hurt my eyes Popping pills to survive When you're 23 and mentally you steadily decline 24 I was poor disability benefits What's the benefit of disability it's irrelevant 25 and the scars that were etched... they cracked Elastic bands only stretch so far and then snap Deep in phsycosis hallucinations, troubled vision Visits from the underworld were conjuring my Superstition 25, living back at home with my mum But not because I'm a bum Alone and physically done So thin, so frail, so week I'd become And my skin so pale, never kissed by the sun One time I carved a whole in my chest, just to feel I wish that was a metaphor, the struggle was real When you're living in a holocaust you buckle and kneel There's relief in the teeth of the kiss of cold steel Facts 26 im highly medicated and the pain sophisticated while im laying broke and naked on my back I brought my microphone into my Coffin, started droppin raw thoughts with the grim reaper knocking on the track Then man, lo and behold I heard an angel beckon on this treacherous road Was a stem cell doctor with a generous glow And a cell transplant brought Me out of the Cold And my body got stronger And my skin got younger And my stomach felt hunger for a door that was closed And my soul heard music for the first time Beauty was a word I'd use for this gift of gold Oh lord I forgive you Lord I forgive you Lord I forgive you Make me whole This music I give you Pain that I live through Everything I been through Is yours to hold

I realized today that we used to know one another, I was part of the ME/CFS FB community where I met Jennifer Brea also - you've been my hero for the last two years, your music is an anthem for the pain we've experienced. One of these days, I would love to create something along side of you. Keep being brilliant, I am so stoked for tomorrow.

May is Millions missing month, or M.E. awareness month. When I was first diagnosed with M.E. the amount of support and understanding of this illness was very low. I was left to suffer with no real explanation as to why. I wasn’t told at the time that this can be a by product of conditions like Lyme, POTS, MCAS, reactivating viruses. I had to figure that out by myself and it took years of trial and error, and treatments that often left me worse off until I was a functional human again. Over a decade later and the landscape still looks very much the same. Sufferers all over the world re left with debilitating, confusing symptoms and are left to drop off the face of the earth, unnoticed, because of the limited energy people have to advocate for themselves. People go from living fully active lives to trapped in bed, sometimes for decades, with no reasons why. M.E. a debilitating and cruel condition receives less than 6 times the amount of annual funding than Male Pattern Baldness. Nancy Kilmas, a proffesor of microbiology and immunology once stated: ‘My H.I.V. patients for the most part are hale and hearty thanks to three decades of intense and excellent research and billions of dollars invested. Many of my ME/CFS patients, on the other hand, are terribly ill and unable to work or participate in the care of their families. I split my clinical time between the two illnesses, and I can tell you if I had to choose between the two illnesses (in 2009) I would rather have H.I.V.’ I first hand experienced the crushing defeat of having a condition that there is little to no support for, and it breaks my heart to know that every day people are dropping off the face of the earth, and in many instances will be left to suffer for years with no full explanation or support. I am one of the fortunate ones who managed to manage symptoms enough to resume a mostly functional life. I therefore see it as a duty to speak on behalf of people who find themselves in a position where it’s difficult to speak for themselves. I wish I’d had more stories of hope at the time. Now I’m in a position where I could actively make a dent, even if a small one. Ive spent the last month putting together a detailed account of my story in hopes that it helps the people suffering feel less alone, gives them hope, and also hopefully raises awareness and rattles enough cages to highlight the severity of this illness to the point where more is done for it. The first instalment will debut on my KZread and twitch channels tomorrow at 6:15 PM UK time, and will continue every day until the release of my next track ’Troubles’ on the 9th of may. I hope for the sake of all of us still actively fighting their hardest to participate in life, that this offers some kind of help, because I know what it’s like to feel hopeless.

Just not change things 100% for anybody with anything

My wife (GF at the time) fell ill suddenly at age 24. She spent 15 years unable to feed herself and sometimes slipping into a coma. Finally we found a clinic that could and wanted to help her. Now at 46 she has the energy of a 60-y.o. woman. Which doesn't sound all that great -- but it is amazing progress for someone who sometimes could not even speak, focus her eyes, or recognise her husband. At this very moment she's outside in the drizzle, planting seedlings in the garden. There is always hope.

I mentioned that I’d learned more about the disease through a musician called Ren. Her face immediately lit up, she described all the work he’s done to support her group - called him their hero.

And if you Google Plumb Island and Lyme disease. For a different take on it. The comments for the D C documentary video are worth reading for peoples own experiences about living with it.

Holy shit bro I needed this.

Dearest Ren, As a parent , my son has been through something very similar (started when he was 6 and he's now 18) and we are STILL trying to get help/answers. He has PANS which is a type of autoimmune disorder that results in basal ganglia encephalitis and are believed to be triggered primarily by infections or 'other' things like medications, certain vaccinations, etc. He had very abrupt onset OCD, oppositional disorder, anxiety and depression. We finally figured out what it was about 5 years ago and are still trying the different 'suggestions' for medication, IVIG, etc. Right now, his meds, take the edge off, but nothing is actually helping. It's very frustrating. But first we had to fly from Toronto to Edmonton because there was literally ONE medical doctor in Ontario who believed/treated PANS and they were backed up. When you put it in perspective of the money spent on male pattern baldness... it's insane and really pisses me off. We are literally at a standstill. Just surviving. Meanwhile he has not been able to attend high school and barely gets through the day because of his OCD. Anyway, I don't mean to whine, I just wanted to point out that I 'understand' (albeit from a different perspective) and I wish you all the best in your journey. Much love from Ontario! P.S. My whole family appreciates and respects you so much. We are so grateful that we came across your talent/genius/compassion/knowledge.

Ren - beautiful song. I was the 90th documented case of lyme in the US back in the early 70s. At that point it wasn't known what caused it. Without a causative agent to target I just got tons of antibiotics, and then sent home. They thought it was Rocky Mtn Spotted fever, RA, among others. I went back into hospitals numerous times and would sometimes get so bad that my parents would have to carry me to bed because my joints were inflamed and painful. Got lyme twice more as an adult as I live in a hot zone for deer ticks. So far I've been lucky and don't appear to have 'Long Lyme" as they now call it (chronic). As you know, the latest buzz is that Autoimmunity arises AFTER the spirochete is cleared (previous infection) and there are many experts now experimenting with steroids to suppress the response. This is a HUGE sea change from only a few years ago. I hope you continue to heal and get distance between the present and those terrible days when you were bed bound. Thank you for your music and having the stamina to make and release it. Cheers.

I live in The Lake Tahoe area of the US and was diagnosed around 2000. I had suffered for around 5 years before being tested. Found a lyme’s specialist in San Francisco (at $500 a visit, no insurance taken) was a life saver. 16 months of IV antibiotics made be feel alive again but not forever.

@@kimpreston3628 I'm sorry to hear about the lyme challenges. I'm assuming the long regimen was doxy? If your symptoms continue you might consider asking about steroids. The latest research is indicating that 'long, or chronic Lyme' is NOT due to the spirochete still being in one's system, but is the result of a previous infection that was cleared after treatment (treatment right after the tick is discovered). These researchers claim that this is why so many people don't get better when taking super long regimens of doxy...because there isn't a spirochete left in the body to clear. Steroids are showing some success and the idea is that they reduce the over-activity of the immune system (auto immunity). I'm not an MD, so please only take this as a suggestion the next time you communicate with a doctor about your symptoms. I wish you good luck.

Oh Ren. Thank you for mentioning POTS. My beautiful daughter has been living with this for 5 years - came on at 19, like you... a good chunk of youth robbed away. I just sent this to her... I think it will give her HOPE. So much love to you, sweet Ren.

I'm so glad that he is bring awareness to it now, and giving hope to keep pushing that we will have better treatment 💞 We need it more than ever now that long COVID ppl body have been damaged to their ANS and there's only 47 specialists in the entire United States😢

I only just discovered your music and your story about a month ago. I've struggled to comment on videos because I've felt profoundly moved by your personal story and music. You are an insanely talented person. More than that, though, you seem to be a genuinely kind human being who is driven, ambitious, and a true warrior in this life. I scroll through the comments on your videos as I watch, and it's the same every time. So many people thank you for giving voice to their pain, fears, and loneliness. Time and time again, people have said they were so close to giving up until they heard a lyric or a melody that helped them. You may not single-handedly defeat all evil in this world, but even one life you have changed has a ripple effect that can change the whole world. One person that you helped can go on to help many others, who can go on to help many others. I am currently in school for psychology. I am working to become a behavior therapist for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. What discovering your story and music has done for me is to highlight the areas in this profession that need change. More compassion, more empathy, more LISTENING. I plan to use this lesson to help others. I can be more compassionate and empathetic in my own work, and I can work to raise awareness within the system as well. I have worked with people with disabilities for over twenty years, and I know there are not enough advocates to speak on issues that need to be driven into the public eye. I have an astounding amount of respect for you and your work. You advocated for yourself, and you advocate for others. You have done amazing things in this world, sir, even if you don't always see the results. I believe you will do even more. Sending love and well-wishes as you continue your journey, and I look forward to continuing my journey into the rabbit hole.

I’m so thankful for everything you have taught me as a long in the tooth mental health nurse. You have made me more aware of not just my practice which I’ve always aimed it to be great care but now I see it was lacking in knowledge. But also of my now willingness to challenge more, advocate more of an allie.

Ive had symptoms of m.e for years Only thing helped is juice feasting/intermittent fasting/ drinking distilled water/u.t and high raw vegan diet. Still on the journey as i have a emotional food habit. I know for a fact you can heal with the methods i mention. There's a lot of information on YT too on it if you look into it

Pure class always shines through and this is another masterpiece, I am probably 1 of many that can relate, I take my hat of to you Ren ♥️

I am a 20+ years experienced Social Worker who specialises in Trauma and Complex Trauma…my work is diverse and heartbreaking and predominantly involves working within the horrific Mental Health System in Australia…..your words hit hard and with such INTEGRITY and TRUTH…only those who have been through the horrendous Health System which includes the Mental Health System revolving door or worked and supported and advocated for those within these systems intrinsically KNOW this…..YOU young Man are the most Inspirational, captivating, compassionate and ground-breaking musical genius I have witnessed in a very long time…and I am old enough to have witnessed the whole Michael Jackson evolution that turned the music industry upside down with his genius….. THANK YOU for all that you are and all that you do…sending Love and Blessings.

"For those of you still living in the dark, hold on." You've done it again, brother. Every time you create, you reach out and touch millions of lonely wounds. Thanks for always talking to us through your music. Your heart and words do land and make a difference. 🙏🏻❤️

I used to always see him busking, he only had a small fan base back then, and now wow !! Almost 1.5 million subs !! Keep it up ren, glad to see you chased your dream and succeeded 💯

I have ME/CFS and yes, it’s painful. Really painful. I also have two autoimmune diseases so it was ridiculous getting a diagnosis. But here I am. Thankfully I haven’t had a total breakdown. I can’t even imagine how difficult this is for such a young man. REN is such a great communicator and talent, that we’ve been the beneficiaries of his great music.

Raw vegan/juice feasting/distilled water/u.t.

Story time. A few days ago was my 39th birthday and me and a very close friend of mine (32) decided to have a celebratory acid trip. The trip was very intense, but also very good, there was a lot of laughter and love. When we were on our way down (still under it but definitely slowly coming out), we were listening to some songs on KZread and have stumbled completely randomly upon the video for Hi Ren. Listening to it for the first time our jaws remained open throughout. We were amazed how talented and versatile Ren is and how original and awesome his music is. Then we watched it for the second time, this time paying closer attention to the words. And that time we cried. A lot. Firstly we were stunned by how brutalny honest the song is, how much emotional effort it must have taken to write and produce it. But also both of us could really relate, though in different ways. For me the internal battle represented my own battles with self-loathing, debilitating need to please others, self-doubt that I'm still learning to navigate (especially in my artistic activities) and a possibly undiagnosed ADHD. For her it preresented her lifetime battle with psychological issues, depression, also undiagnosed problems she's still working out. In that context she really resonated with the internal battle of doubt in the validity of her mental issues, but also the inability to explain to other people what it's like to live inside her head. Over the following hours and days I listened to that song a couple dozen times (and other Ren's tracks, but none hit me as hard - and continues to do so every time I listen to it - as Hi Ren). Ren, I hope you are aware of how important your message is, and how appreciated your art is. You done good. You're a beautiful soul. Continue to be true to yourself and keep creating. We both wish you all the best, especially in your fight for health. Sending you a metric shitton of love from Poland.

Thanks for keeping that promise to your younger self REN , it is so powerful for those of us who suffer from these horrid illnesses to have an advocate like you out there. You are not one of the industry arse holes who as soon as they see fame buy a mountain of coke and play the money game. You are the genuine article...and it says so much about you to do this and the Chapters , man I related to so much I cried ( me a grown arse man...got M.E and Fibo at 20, got worse over the years and am now bed bound ). You're a good man Ren and I admire your humility and your talent in equal measure.

How powerful is it to twist "lord forgive me," to, "lord I forgive you?" Saying you forgive any sort of higher power that never seemed listen during the worst times... This just gets better with every listen. ❤

My girlfriend and best friend died almost one year ago, she had Lymes and for 7 years got almost zero help from the medical system here in Spain, your story resonates so much with hers. I am so happy to know Ren, that you will always champion this issue, please don't ever stop pushing for more awareness and recognition in the medical industry for this and other illnesses, it is so so needed. Thank you for being you, for your music, for the beautiful soul you are and share with us all.

He is absolutely remarkable! Multi instrumentalist ( guitar, bass, piano, drums, melodic , and a bit of cello). Lyrically a genius who also creates all his own beats, is self produced, mixed and at times mastered. Unlike this video ( which was masterfully edited using cuts) most of his videos are done live and one takes( even though it may take 4- 100+ takes to get the final version).

Right in Brighton 2 years and 1 year and 7 months near of the big wheel in London (I forgot exactly what it's called) That's where I heard about you and in 2019 I started listening to what you do. I can tell you that I felt immense pleasure to know that there is someone like you and so far from my home.I know someone is reading these comments and I hope it reaches you.. this message: "Thank you for what you are doing, keep it up! Even if the whole world is upside down...you managed to bring a ray of hope and peace to my soul and to others"Thank you for existing! I adore you and respect you the most! You are a crazy guy who calls "things" by name! You have all my appreciation and admiration ‼️I wish you more health, if that exists..we can do a lot..even move mountains"!Congratulations Ren! You deserve nothing but good... ☮️ Big Up 👍

found that track today while driving the first thing in my mind was, how did he made that melodie. Saw the short, its so awesome and unique! You're connecting alot of people with your music. People who feel the way like you , giving them hope and people like me, who re trying to understand you and others. Goat ♥

Ren, I have know idea if you read these. I've never.left a comment before but just discovered your music and videos. The only word that feels right is art. With genuine conviction, you and those around you are on a different level. Lyrically and Visually it just becomes a work of art as you experience it.
