A Beautiful and Tragic Ren Song: 'For Joe'
Added 2025-05-01 17:56:42 +0000 UTCOne of Ren's many gifts is the transmutation of pain through his art. This was such a beautiful and heartbreaking way to celebrate the life of his friend Joe who took his own life.
Sending so much love and support to those of you who are suffering today.

Beautiful tribute to Joe by Ren. This was filmed in a park overlooking the City of Calgary in Canada Tim. This is a live one take filming by Sam in Late May of 2023. As you may know, Ren has spent a lot of time in Canada for treatments for the misdiagnosis of Lyme disease and the damage done by the disease. Thanks for this one Tim.

2025-05-02 08:02:54 +0000 UTCThis song is so personal to Ren, and yet so relatable to all of us. It grabs me by the heart every time I hear it. There are days when I can't listen to it at all, and that doesn't happen with many songs. I do have a musical question that I hope you don't mind me asking. I notice that when Ren uses the keyboard, both on this song and on another song "Mackay" he only uses the white keys. Is there a technical reason for that or is it just the way he happens to play?
