I’m Stepping

I’m stepping out of my comfort zone. I don’t often suggest that I actually know something. Okay, maybe I do, but I generally don’t believe it in my inner being.

Here it goes, the UK musician/artist Ren is on to something important.

The “reaction” influencers on the net speak of going down the “Ren Rabbithole”. For the last week I’ve been down there.

Yes, it’s dark, and maybe a lot of sadness, but it is also hopeful. This young guy from Wales is crafting some important messages through musicianship and masterful story telling.

I’m not a fortune teller, but I’m thinking that there are tipping points in history where things are way different from one side of an occurrence to the other side. Ren might be that occurrence. And if not, then we have missed something.

Three links, not in creation order, but the order that I think is best to understand Ren, and what’s behind his music.

1. Hi Ren

2. Tale of Jenny and Screech

3. For Joe

      There is a whole category of “reaction” videos, where “influencers” watch music videos. Some are musicians, some are therapists, some are voice coaches. I’ve watched well of a dozen of people watching Ren. They break down and cry for the most part. Speechless for the other parts.
