I’m starting to think Ren is just a hallucination from our collective consciousness…. How the heck can this guy keep making songs that resonate so profoundly? He’s amazing. I almost feel guilty I didn’t discover him until Hi Ren but I’m so glad we all know about him now. Genuine talent, a capacity to hit right to the heart of the issue with subtlety. Also how the F has Ren got less than 1M subs?

And the breadth of his abilities and mastery of a variety of genres is astonishing. Speaking of his health, he does have a GoFundMe which I’ve contributed to. If all of us could give even 2-5 pounds towards his healthcare, medical bills would be one less thing he has to worry about. I’m trying to spread the word here and there in case folks aren’t aware.

Ren created his own genre and every song hits deeper and different than ANYTHING I've ever heard. And im a passionate music lover for over 40 years. This is the first time i really consider myself a real fan and there are thousands who feel the same. Ren's an amazing director, producer, composer, songwriter, singer, multiinstrumentalist, actor and master of all genres. And don't forget that he does all of this by himself and the help of a few good friends without a huge budget. I think he's comparable to Shakespeare, Mozart or Beethoven. He's one of the greatest of all time and they'll talk about him long after he's gone. To witness something like that is a once in a century event.

That's exactly word for beautifully articulated word how I felt when I heard Ren sing for the first time ever earlier tonight. Hi Ren was my introduction to him and I immediately got excited! He's created something New! Can you imagine I mean that in and of itself but he's Powerful ,raw, intelligent articulate, introspective. I don't mean to rave on but I am genuinely excited for this. And I'm here for it!!

Ren...if you read this, I want you to understand the impact you are having not just in the musical realm (which is barrier breaking and HUGE) but also on a human level. Your music is reaching and touching so many lives. I am a 39 year old metalhead and I have sobbed like a child listening to your music. Your ability to reach inside and communicate raw emotion so beautifully is a gift. This song brings me back to myself as a teenager, inside that tomb in my head. Thankfully, I was not successful. I now have a thriving, beautiful 16 year old son...there is so much love and wonder in this world. We just have to hang on and wait for the light to shine again.

This is so beautiful. My sisters son Jess passed away unexpectedly from cancer. Just weeks after diagnosis. The grief is so overwhelming for her and all that knew him. This song represents the intense feelings. He was such a special man. He had cerebral Palsey and she cared for him his whole life. They had a special bond. He was intelligent, great sense of humor and so sensitive and loving. He is missed. To all those who have felt great loss, sending l8ve and light. ❤

The look on Ren's face when he sings, "Where is my God, where are you?" you can feel his desperation and anguish. He is truly the real deal! Total talent!

Lyrics: [Verse 1: Ren] I don't feel safe in this bed There are voices in my head I've been talking to the dead And the fear baptised me My kingdom turned to dust And I watched all my riches rust Have I lost the Midas' touch? Or do sad eyes blind me? [Chorus: both] Over and over we go Over the hills and the valleys below Oh, and it follows me, follows me home And it suffocates me, hmmm [Post-Chorus: both] Oh, I can't breathe I said oh, I can't breathe All I know is I forgot how to be me [Verse 2: Ren, both] I don't feel safe in these halls There are bruises on the walls There are bodies in the floors And they breathe so loudly I wish I could move Get up and walk right out this tomb Do our saviours die too soon? For my sins surround me [Chorus: Ren, Chinchilla, both] Over and over we go (Over and over we go) Over the hills and the valleys below (Over the hills and the valleys below) Oh, and it follows me, follows me home (Follows me, follows me) And it suffocates me, hmmm [Post-Chorus: both, Chinchilla] Oh, I can't breathe I said oh, I can't breathe All I know is I forgot how to be me Hallelujah Where is my god, where are you? Hallelujah Nothing is pulling me through Hallelujah When I don't know how to be Hallelujah I forgot how to be me [Outro: Ren] When he gave up the fight A quick decision late in the night That stayed with me for all of my life I miss you so

I thought the lyric video was so powerful. I watched and listened over and over. But this shit! Watching you two harmonizing, knowing well you’ve both lived behind those walls. Nothing touches this! I’ve been in that house recently, and every time I crawl through that door, there’s the shame that I wasn’t strong enough to stay away. Emasculating. Crippling. Dark. I think the bodies in the floor you speak on is all the times you actually go through with it, in your head. My family keeps me here. My kids keep me here. But I’ve put my body in those floors more than once. Thanks Ren, if nothing else, for being just as God made you.

@@adrianrios6926 I think it’s diff for everyone which makes it so relatable. For me I see the dark talking to the light. He’s begging to see her and she’s right there the whole time. The optimism in her voice compared to the dismal energy of his is amazing contrast.

These two together are just so captivating. Mystifying. It’s so beautiful it hurts 😭

Don't recall ever having so many chills during a song. Incredible work. Thank you.

Big shout out to chinchilla LOVE your singing and passion .

Canzone di Ren, che ascolto spesso. Mi affascina!

Holycow. Finally music gets real, all over again💜

1 yr later & I still get goosebumps when these 2 sing together. I can't imagine a better match in all my years. What an amazing melody!!!

So emotional and expressive!

Chinchilla doesnt need to go on the voice. Shes good enough as is. ❤ love both.

Ren is a master of every genre

Suddenly, at 60 years of age, I believe there is hope for the future of music. Look no further. Just wowed. 😮

You are gaining many fans without having to sell your soul to msm. Beautiful song x

you were still 3 months ahead of me 🤯

... wow... I couldn't take my eyes off you. You touched the deepest corner of my soul and heart. Ren, I needed your music and I didn't even know it 🙏❤‍🔥

My friend just showed me your music a few days ago, and it has brought me to tears. Every song has a message. I haven't gone a day without listening to your music

He's not just singing... He IS all the raw Emotion... every fiber of his Being is Vibration Soaring. & she is such an incredible artist to collaberate with. Hallelujah !

You know what amazes me about Chinchilla in this video? It was how she softened her voice at the beginning and worked her way up to belting toward the end. Such control. 👏🏻👏🏻

The best duo in the world that has ever been from the beginning of time... Amazing real voice's

Ren, I know you probably won't read this as to the video being a year old but I just wanted you to know man as someone who struggles with past trauma and other issues this one hit home man. I've lost my way in the last decade and have felt like I don't know who I've been since. I'm constantly struggling with my inner self to find my identity again so to speak and this song perfectly lays out how I've been feeling and I find comfort in knowing that I'm not alone in this chaotic journey. I appreciate you and all that you do. Thanks man!

Hang in there, you’re not the only one struggling this way. I just want you to know you’re not alone. I read your comment, I hear your struggles and I acknowledge you. Wish I had an easy answer to make your life better, but I can’t even fix my own. Maybe tomorrow will be the day everything changes for you. Never lose hope.

My therapist told me I need to find "my people". At 60, that's a tough sell. I've looked for years. I am happily married, but mental health isn't in his wheelhouse, hence my need to find "my people". Friends who simply "get you". With my avoidant traits secondary to,PTSD, it is a tough sell. Today, I FOUND them. TY for your comment. The millions of us who struggled TO EXPLAIN have now found a voice in Ren and his circle of incredible musicians. And his "community" online. So strange...

Recently discovered Ren and am blown away. Then I find this....these two are every bit as good as The Civil Wars. Hope to hear more of these two together.

Guys everytime I watch this I weep. It's so damn powerful! I can connect with the grief expressed in this song man, I'm sure I'm not the only one. As an addict in recovery I have lost countless friends and as a result I have experienced that kind of crippling grief. The hills and valleys man.. hallelujah where is my god where are you.. just makes me cry Ren. Thankyou for being so honest and so eloquently putting this into words. You are a special man.

I already love his whisper at the beginning of the song when he counts. 😅 Every single sound that comes out of this guy is a miracle. ❤

What on earth kind of affirming adjective is going to be enough to describe how great this is, how moved I am. Everything. You both. For a moment: extreme solidarity & ease is here.

I love this song and performance so much. And the way you and Chinchilla follow each other is freaky. Whether it's a staccato line, or a descending vocal run, or a bendy note, or that glorious, sweeping acapella harmony into 'I can't breathe' (2nd time especially)...you're in perfect synchronicity. Sublime.

how the hell can they keep in time with each other so perfectly while being so raw

Spotify needs this.

She uses her hands, too. And when she does it close to her or his face it's always a bit scary with her nails^^.

Honestly Ren is best with her. The more they do together, the better. Shit brings me to tears every time.

I relate to this so much. After years of a constant losing battle with my depression I really forgot how to be me. I wish I could find a way to remind myself of it, but it doesn’t seem possible anymore.

Why am I sitting here with tears rolling down my face? This is beautiful.

Absolutely amazing …. I have been fighting depression and anxiety for 50 years. I can’t explain how much this song resonates with me. I lost a friend to suicide 40 years ago… he was 14. Had his bible open to a verse. “Where is my God I can’t breathe” … Ren you touch our souls and you are creating what this world needs more of.. open discussion about our struggles with mental health and makes us know we are not alone. ❤; Thank you 🙏

Omg, I'm beyond sobbing right now.

Unbelievably good! Just 2 voices, a guitar and a song. My, my, but this is a lesson in how to blow minds and hearts

these wto are... godly... how did two genius performers who happened to have the same highly charged and disturbed energy manage to find each other? That's like... idk creative connection across time or something, one in a million

Chinchilla brings out the best of ren 😊

The last line really gave me the chills. My dad killed himself when I was 7 and at times ive felt stuck in place for eternity just for one person's decision in an instant. And i understood the song so perfectly the second time i listened to it after i heard the final line.

I'll start to cry every time when I hear that song... again and again. So much of feelings comeover me. You both convey love, pain and hope with it. I love it. It helps me to accept myself. Thank you so much.

These vocals are beautiful, happy to say i've been a Ren fanboy for a year now, you need more exposure, more labels need talent like you

Utterly captivating musicians and hauntingly beautiful song writing. At last some real artists have stepped up to show how its done. Thank you Ren and co. ✌

Please keep your originality brother you are inspirational. Don’t sell out, your mission means more than paper 🙏

If there was ever a time to reach all humanity, at any age, it is you. Thanks for the gift.

This song has brought me so much peace. It relates to my issues. I'm 56 So love music & in all my days, I have never connected to something more powerful.
