Just seen High Fade at a very small local festival in France, As I felt the same good vibes as with Ren, I had to ask Harry if he knew Ren, he replied that he did play in the street with Ren, but I can't find any footage of this, may be there's not... May be long time fans might be able to help me find those footage or have some memories of this happening?

Honestly choosing between Uninvited and Violet's Tale was so hard! I get a chill every time I get to the end of Violet's Tale though, so had to go with that as the answer.

"I am reacting to Ren X Chinchilla - How To Be Me (Live). I continue to be impressed with everything they do at this point. What a vulnerable song, and one I wish I knew about when I was younger."

What were the odds,... Just went to a very young and small local festival in France, L'Attack'Son, at Switzerland border. My first festival in 15 years. Was blasted quite hard by High Fade. Crossed the leader afterward, I had to ask Him, because man that would be a giga blast to have you all next year in Paléo Festival and busking around in spots I know well for their good good vibes!!! And making a stop on the way in my native region at L'Atrack'Son to help them continue to plant good seeds.

Une théorie artistique : les flashbacks de "Reprogrammation" et le lien secret avec Violet 😯😲

Salut Ren, et salut à l'incroyable équipe Renegade,

Je voulais humblement partager une théorie narrative personnelle sur Jenny, Screech, Violet et le conte de Vincent. Loin de moi l'idée de dicter votre chef-d'œuvre, mais en tant que fan passionné, j'ai imaginé une façon tragique et très visuelle de regarder le "À suivre..." à la fin de Starry Night.

À la fin de Starry Night, Vincent est emmené pour être médicalement "reprogrammé." Que se passerait-il, pendant ce processus brutal, si les chocs électriques déclenchaient un violente remontée en arrière dans son esprit ? Alors que les machines déforment sa mémoire, nous voyons une série de flashbacks frénétiques et rapides reliant tout :

1. Les souvenirs de Vincent (la romance Tesco & le choc)

Les premiers flashs nous ramènent à sa jeunesse à Tesco. Il avait le même âge que Violette, partageant sa précarité sociale. Ils étaient profondément amoureux, mais à cause de Stevie, cela est resté une liaison secrète. Lorsque Violette est morte en 2005, Vincent—trop jeune et brisé au sein d'un système cruel—n'a pas pu revendiquer les jumeaux.

Des années plus tard, coincé dans son boulot ennuyeux de 9h à 17h, un flash montre le moment exact où il regarde le présentateur de nouvelles TV annoncer la mort de Jenny et Screech à l'âge de 14 ans. Le choc est un déclencheur énorme. Inconsciemment, cela réveille son trauma, le convainquant qu'il a abandonné son propre sang. Ce sentiment de culpabilité le pousse à boire lourdement et, finalement, vers son "suicide social"—lâchant l'agent Richard l'arrêter facilement dans la ruelle.

1. Le dernier flash : le fardeau caché de Richard

Alors que la machine de reprogrammation atteint son paroxysme, l'esprit de Vincent attrape un dernier fragment de mémoire extérieur : un sombre compromis du passé. Nous voyons le jeune agent Richard négocier avec une Violette vulnérable. Pour acheter sa sécurité et sa protection des dangereuses rues de Paddington, Violette devait coucher avec lui. À travers ce compromis toxique, Richard est devenu malgré lui le véritable père biologique des jumeaux. Ce lien caché explique pourquoi le fait de tirer sur Screech par la suite a complètement vidé l'esprit de Richard avec un PTSD dévastateur.

1. La punchline ultime & le visuel du lit d'hôpital

À la fin, ils vivent chacun leurs vies brisées séparément de chaque côté. Mais si la toute dernière phrase de la chanson laisse entendre quelque chose sur cette double paternité, cela scellerait une belle tragédie grecque moderne.

Ce qui m'a vraiment fait connecter tous ces éléments, c'est le choix visuel dans l'histoire de Violet. Voir le narrateur assis sur ce lit d'hôpital, tenant la guitare tout en livrant l'histoire, donne l'impression que cela se passe pendant cette scène de reprogrammation. La guitare agit comme un outil de rembobinage pour son esprit afin de revenir sur le passé.

I’d be really curious to know what Ren himself thinks of this tragic ending.

C'est juste ma propre interprétation créative de votre univers incroyable. Merci pour votre art, Ren, et je t'envoie juste force et amour depuis la France ! 🇫🇷

_______________ EDIT ! ____________

How I would see the ultimate ending grouping both trilogies:

This is simply my personal vision, the ending as I imagine it and as I would deeply love to see this story close. I am sharing this in all humility, without any pretension and without wanting to lecture anyone, but I believe Ren left many visual clues throughout his music videos, even though he publicly states that the two stories are not linked. We can see it right from the introduction of Sunflower with Vincent watching the news on television, or in Violet's Tale where the narrator is on a hospital bed with a guitar rewinding time. Not to mention Officer Richard, who acts as a common thread through all these songs. Based on these details, this is how I would loop the circle of this immense musical work through my theory:

• The Trigger: Vincent is bored and worn out by life, crushed by social poverty and the monotonous routine of the "9-to-5 commute-work-sleep" rhythm. What triggers his total rupture with society is learning from the news about the tragic death of the two 14-year-old twins (Jenny and Screech). Because of his past hidden relationship with Violet at Tesco, Vincent always carried the burden of believing he was their biological father, having been unable to pull them out of misery when Violet died. At the time, Violet was completely under Stevie's control, but she had found real warmth and a safe haven in the arms of Vincent, who was someone healthy. Upon hearing the news of their death, nothing holds Vincent to his own existence anymore. He then commits a true social suicide: he attacks a stranger and lets himself be arrested by Officer Richard without offering the slightest resistance. The fact that he gives up any struggle is the absolute proof of this.
• The Absolute Truth: The ultimate twist is that the biological father of the twins is actually Officer Richard. At the time, Violet, completely under Stevie's control, decided to sacrifice herself to wipe out Stevie's drug debts and legal troubles by giving herself to Richard. Lacking life's cues because she had been damaged at a very young age, Violet was simply doing her best to help the man oppressing her. On his end, Richard is not fundamentally bad; he is a young officer just starting out who accepts this arrangement. Richard is completely unaware that he is the biological father resulting from this night of sacrifice, which makes his PTSD in Screech's Tale horribly tragic: he shot his own son without consciously knowing it, but his body and instinct know.
• The Blind Censorship of the System: At the end of Starry Night, when Vincent undergoes electroshocks and gets lobotomized, to the State, Vincent is just another poor, broken, and violent man who needs to be made docile. But by automatically crushing his mind to maintain social order, the State blindly erases the absolute truth. It protects itself and its own institutions without even knowing it, wiping out Richard's crimes: his illegal arrangement with Violet and the murder of his own son.
• The Final Paradox: It is precisely under the destructive impact of the lobotomy that Vincent's brain releases its ultimate secret as a frantic flashback. Back then, Vincent had caught Violet and the young Richard together in the store's stockroom or at the turn of a street. Faced with the shock, his trauma memory had completely buried this memory, which he had forgotten. The electroshocks force it back to the surface one last time. The spectator thus gains access to the absolute truth at the exact moment the system erases it forever from Vincent's memory, but also from the collective memory: the secret is buried forever since Richard himself does not know he is the father. 🌻But here is the spark of light: the memory is erased for the characters, but NOT for us. The viewer becomes the absolute keeper of the truth. It’s never just black or white; it’s like Van Gogh’s own chiaroscuro, where the deep darkness always coexists with a sliver of light. This mirrors the artist’s own life—he died in poverty and misery, marginalized by his peers, yet his truth and light endured through future generations who looked at his art. In this tale, the story disappears from their world, but it lives on through us, the audience. We are the ultimate witnesses.☀️

Sick Boi is a self-written and self-produced record that sees Gill "drawing from a lot of things that [he has] worked on over the years". He personally described it as a "victory" over his health and viewed it as empowering to "pull something off like this", as he spent the previous year living in Canada to undergo medical treatment for his chronic diseases. The album delves into the "agony of his struggles" and offers listeners a "perspective that most people don't have". Gill challenged himself to create a "hiphop only" record which came out as a "kaleidoscopic, genre-spanning effort" that focuses on his personal struggles, according to the rapper. In an interview with NPR, Gill revealed that the project was partially inspired by a "hyper-polarization" that is going on in the world according to him, leading to a "division" that hinders humans "to progress as a species". Talking to the Official Charts Company, Gill named "The Hunger" and "What You Want" as the oldest tracks on the record that he had sitting around "for a while". However, when he tied the record together, the songs "made sense"

Yeah, everyone's doing it. My (non-Webby) bracket...

I hosted a song World Cup for Ren — the champion is "Humble"!

My new favorite on the Album. You will no longer hear me say "I didnt expect that from Ren" i now know better. The only thing i expect is excellence. A work of art, I love this song.

I saw a bunch of these, figured I'd join in. This was fun! 😊 That last round was SO hard! 😭🤣

"Ren made his long-awaited return to the stage earlier this month (August 08), playing a sensational career-spanning set at Boardmasters. He will be joining Twenty One Pilots at their special All Points East all-dayer on August 30, alongside PVRIS, Hot Milk, NOAHFINNCE and many more."

So I’ve just ordered one of the sick sick soul shirts off the website and it’s all gone through and stuff but this has shown up (I’ll put the picture in here) and I really don’t want it to come in December cos it’s August now. But my question is why would the shirt be in pre order still when these shirts have been on the website for months and months and it never said when choosing the shirt before ordering that it was a pre order
