Ren cries, his boys cry, his mom cries, I cry, we all cry.

Classic. I've never been happier for people I don't know.

I'm 2 years late to this party.

The last 4 days I've been crying because of the newest release "Caskets" and here I am crying for a completely different reason. Seeing all these people celebrating for Ren's success brought me to tears.

Nothing better than a call to his mum. Watched this many times. So happy for you REN

Ren's mom sounds so nice. She raised an amazing man.

Stay true to yourselves guys. Stay independent please, it’s one of your greatest strengths. We all love it. Congrats for all.

Whenever im having a bad day, the pure joy that leaks from this video always sets me right.

This makes me cry every time, just thinking about all of the time, and energy and life vulnerability that all of you put into all that makes up REN. I’m just so grateful for all of it. You deserve it Ren!

Always so good to see the celebration of friends for one of their own.  Only Connor can bust a move and end up in emergency.  Lovely moment between Ren and his mother.  The best of us.

i love how the radio guy found out ren was listening got hype "well ren HI!!! You did it mate!!" he was so pumped to have him want to hear the news from him 😍😊

So fucking wholesome. We love Ren!

Every time I watch, I always cry ugly, happy tears of joy and happiness for Ren. I'm so proud of someone who I've never met, but I feel like I know him because I so relate to his music. This is So well deserved 👏 ❤🎉

Love and prayers from Australia Ren. I am 80, and introduced to your brilliant renditions just a week ago. Im obsessed with it. The trilogy had me in tears and on the end of my seat. Sick Boi I could relate to as I am a retired Psychotherapist. Only someone who has gone through what you have, could fully relate to it, no one feels your pain. Look after yourself Ren, you are first and foremost.

The dynamic of this group of friends is beautiful. The hype and happiness for one of their own shines through the screen. Thank you so much for sharing this with us and congratulations 🎉❤

The phone call with his mom had me 😭😭😭❤️🫶🏻

“I never write hooks for the radio, they never even play me so why would I concern myself with that?” That aged like fine wine

One of the things about being a fan, about being a Renegade, is knowing, if and when we have the pleasure of meeting Ren, that what we hear, what we know, is often just the tip of the iceberg. (Actually have met him ... hugged and everything!).

Whilst we know a lot more about Ren and his story ('cause Ren has shared a LOT of it), we know it is just what Ren has been kind enough to share.

Whilst watching this video I realise that the skills and support needed for this are not simple.

It is hard work.

And not just technical ability. That we can all learn to different degrees.

The hard part is dealing with life.

Ren, and those around him, knew how the feelings would be if the outcome had been different.

Life does life things.

We all have to deal with them.

Initially, there was a sense of relief in seeing the outcome, knowing that the potential emotional turmoil didn't happen.

But then, I remembered something else.

The first half of The Secret Garden Party.

And what happened?

Issues. I was there. I, like 1,600 others, all saw.

But then we saw the reason why we were all there.

Ren handled it.

Again, from his Patreon videos, we see he didn't like how it was, felt he had underperformed.

And so, maybe for a second or two, Ren had forgotten what he had told us.

He has told us that we are NOT god's. We are NOT angels or demons.

He, just like you and me, is just a human being.

And what do we do?

We cope.

We suffer the trauma, we persevere, we overcome, we move on.

And so, my initial thought of how Ren and those around him would have felt if Sick Boi had not been Number 1, were baseless.

Ren has proven himself to his family, his friends, and his fans.

How do I know this? Because they stand beside him today.

As fans, we show our respect for Ren. We give him the space to be him.

Hmmm.

I say all of this ... but I know just how big an impact he has had on my life. And so yes, I'd love to sit and talk and listen for hours and hours (and some of you know JUST how much I can talk).

But, as I've said before to the people who gave me life, who have given me comfort and support in helping me deal with my traumas, and just like many of you out there listening to Ren ...

Thank you.

REN is such an amazing guy. No matter how life has been for him, he shines a bright light. This is the person everyone needs in their life. I wish I had a friend like him. ❤

Nobody has a better group of genuine friends and hype men/women than Ren! The “rising tide lifts all ships” philosophy that Ren lives by is most definitely a mutual benefit, and truly makes all of us route for his (and all of their) success!!!!❤❤❤ I’ve watched this many times on Patreon, because it brings me joy. 🥰 I’m so glad everyone can experience this with you all now!! Seeing all of the hard work, genius, art, collaboration and talent recognized gives me just a little bit of hope for our world! Can’t wait to see what’s next, once you are feeling healthier and more yourself, Ren. Much love from CO, USA! 🫶
