Ren - Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve Retake)
seven sins by ren
pls check him n his stuff out
he doesn't stick to one genre, he does whatever he feels
his art n story speak to me as a chronically ill, mentally fucked outcast who desperately needs that voice in the dark
This is amazing. If you want to see a modern day bard spin a tragedy, watch it. It is… An experience. This tale has three parts. These gifs are from Jenny. Next will be Screech. If you like music - art… Watch it. It’s talent. Each of the three parts are done in single takes. And with live recording using the natural acoustics around him to bring it to life. A Shakespearean tragedy really.
Appreciate some of the lyrics:
Jenny freezes, statue like A lady shaped stalactite Fear like liquid nitrogen in the dark night She tried to find strength to move But stayed as still as a Statue in high heeled shoes
Did I mention I love ren
I can't stop listening to his new song about his battle with chronic illness and mental health. Sadness and hope, anger and determination and so much texture in the music, I keep hearing new things!
Please listen and reblog to help Ren spread awareness and conversation about the #MillionsMissing due to chronic illnesses like Lyme Disease, MCAS, POTS, EDS, ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and long Covid, as well as chronic pain, anxiety and other issues that lead to people (and their caretakers) going #MISSING from the rest of society.
"DrOwn yoURself IN the sound of wHIte noise"
You ever hear a song that makes you feel like someone has been secretly attending your psychiatrist appointments?
some of the rawest lines Ren wrote
"Ren Eryn Gill (born Ren Erin Gill, 29 March 1990), known professionally as Ren, is a multi-award-winning Welsh singer-songwriter, musician, rapper, producer, and director. Formerly a member of Trick the Fox and the Big Push, Ren has independently released two albums, Freckled Angels (2016) and Sick Boi (2023). His second major album Sick Boi reached the number one spot on the UK charts on October 20, 2023, beating out Rick Astley's new release in a battle for number one and surpassing both Drake and Troye Sivan. In the US, the album debuted at No. 137 on the top 200 Billboard. Ren also debuted at No. 4 on Billboard's Emerging Artists chart and No. 54 on the Billboard 100 Artists chart.
Ren’s breakthrough came when he released "Hi Ren" in 2022. It went viral, receiving 6.8 million views on YouTube in two months and charted worldwide in YouTube's trending music video chart. The song received an honourable mention for best European music video at the Prague Music Video Awards and was nominated for best music video at Camerimage 2023. As of April 2025, it has 50 million views.
As part of Ren's second studio album, Sick Boi, the single "Money Game part 3" won numerous awards, including Best Music Video, Best Director, Best Concept, and received an Honourable Mention for Best Cinematography. The single was also chosen for the British Arrows Y24 Shortlist in the categories of Music Video Director and Music Video Producer.
Ren has been dealing with Lyme disease and its side effects since 2009. He was misdiagnosed with depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, and bipolar disorder for years. At the end of 2015 he was properly diagnosed. The following year he received an experimental treatment that included stem cell transplants. He did not completely recover. He has autoimmune issues, brain damage, PTSD, and fatigues easily. He continues to try experimental treatments to improve his health. Many of his songs reflect what he has been through and he is an advocate for discussing mental health issues more openly."
i highly encourage people, esp disabled folks, to check out ren's music and his story. i truly believe that his music can help.
plus, ren is just a really great guy. he inspires me to keep going through the dark.

Ahhhhhhhhh I miss flying ;^; its such a nice day and it'd be so wonderful if I could use my wings right now 😩
Being a therian and seeing myself as an animal is so funny sometimes to me, because when someone says I look like another human, I don’t really see it. Then, two minutes later, I’ll show them a picture and be like, “This is so me!” But the picture in question is this:
Mad dragon god
The temperamental Dragon Gods govern agriculture, their displeasure brings disaster to farmers all over the world.
I kind of enjoy being human in this life as well! Just, yeah. Not psyched about being in human society.
But the sensations and experiences I have in this life, I treasure. The feeling of a hot shower on my skin--I didn't have that before, for example. And isn't that quite wonderful? I had always been curious about humans and their lives that I visited in dreams.
I'm excited to rejoin the divine when my energy leaves this vessel, but for now I'll honor being a human by doing these things I haven't yet gotten to.
Being in a human body can suck, but for me, that's mostly cause it traps me in human society
I actually quite enjoy my human body as is, and wanted to make a post about it cause I think it's important to spread positivity about our physical attributes!
One thing I think is really cool about humans is for how long they can run. They may not be the fastest, but a trained human's stamina is basically never ending, and they wear their prey down due to it, almost like a hyena. Something also quite hyena-esk is how absurdly strong the human jaw is relative to body size. In a fight, a human can rip someone else's throat out rather easily. And our teeth tear through flesh and break through bones!
A human bite is also incredibly dangerous due to how many bacteria we have in our mouths.
Humans can digest a TON of stuff!! They eat almost everything they come across, which is really cool in my opinion...
Then there's human hands. An absolute masterpiece of evolution. Almost no other animalscan grab things like a primate does! And I don't just mean picking stuff up. Go to your kitchen and get a glass, some cutlery, maybe a bowl... And just be amazed by how your fingers wrap around the tools, how you can hold all those things with just one limb.
Isn't that so amazing?
Humans are also excellent climbers. You may feel like you're slow on top of trees when compared to squirrels or other monkeys, but look at all the other species! You are one of the beings BEST equipped on the entire planet when it comes to climbing!
Our shoulder's joints differ from most other species', and allow us to hang from branches, swinging back and fourth easily. That's so cool....
I guess what I'm trying to say is... There's lots of cool stuff you can do in a human body.
If you're physically a human it doesn't make you any less cool.
Biologically you're literally an extremely intelligent ape that hunts its prey down in packs until it just collapses, with incredibly dangerous jaws, never-ending stamina, a really strong sense of smell, and overall one of the most adaptable beings on the entire planet.
Many species didn't make it through the ice age. But homo sapiens did.
You're badass

I am nonhuman. My spirit has lived long in this universe, and it was once divine. A star shining brightly in the sky, it could change form and walk the Earth as birds, a wolf, and a deer. Each form my spirit took, it intertwined itself with that being. For some reason, I have fallen. My human vessel carries a spirit, a soul, with stories from long ago. Every day, I rediscover a part of that story. A piece of this human life is combined with all my lives before this one to create me. I am all these wonderful creatures, and they are all me. My spirit may not be what it once was, but it will forever carry the echoes of the past. I am nonhuman, beautiful and strange.
We are other
LIFE LIKE THIS IS SUCH A MIRACLE. HOW DO SUCH TINY TINY TINY THINGS ON SUCH A MINIATURE SPECK OF DUST GROW TO HAVE SUCH COMPLEX MINDS? DO YOU KNOW HOW LARGE EARTH IS COMPARED TO THE SUN? SO ENDEARINGLY TINY. EASILY MISSED. AND YET THE SHAPE MATTER TAKES ON IT IS SO COMPLEX. ORGANS. A BRAIN THAT FEARS, LOVES AND JEERS. A HEART THAT BEATS. LUNGS THAT BREATHE. SO VERY SWEET.
I got my hair cut and feel so much better!!! No longer do I have long hair that feels unnatural!!
One more step to feeling more like myself :3
not painted yet or attached to the gloves but here's what i have rn
i always mean it when i say i love you btw
Man researching demons lately and. Theyre so interesting!!
Apparently the word demon comes from daemon (greek) and means "spirit replete with wisdom" and aren't actually evil as people think they are. Many cataloged demons are actually old pre-christian pagan gods that Christianity demonized once it became the dominant religion! Or fallen angels now cataloged as demons.
Many demons show up in different forms and have certain associations--for example, Sariel being associated to the moon & dragons.
umm fucking sniffsniffsniffsniffsniff ??? ? (x)
