    This one has been spreading like wildfire lately, all the "reaction youtubers" are giving it high praise and rightfully so, I think it's a masterpiece! Might be a bit weird at a first listen but once you get into the lyrics and get the concept and also notice visual aspects of the video as well as how he changes his voice/guitar play/facial expressions etc it's brilliant imo...

    Anyway, just wanted to check if anyone has seen it and what you think?

    No lie, this was actually really good. I checked out another couple of his videos and enjoyed them a lot.

    I'm glad I at least got one person to watch the video lol :) But yeah, Ren is really talented, it's obviously quite different to most other artists but I really enjoy it and I'm looking forward to hearing more from him, I think he has an album coming out in the summer...

    You don’t get people onto Witt mate, he just appears in their soul and burns a passionate flame brighter and hotter than any other, a beautiful blue hue.

    On the subject of the song, it’s pretty nice the music itself and the lyrics are fantastic, unfortunately, his accent, is not for me. Otherwise it’s great. And don’t let it get you down if people don’t pay attention most the nerds in here have like one style they like and everything else sucks. There’s a few good eggs though.

    Lol nah I wish I was that talented! I stumbled across this video a while back and it blew me away, just like most people I have shared it to. Went down the Ren rabbit hole on youtube and he's incredibly talented, although I can see why it's not going to be for everyone...

    Fair enough! I don't mind artists using their own accents when they sing or rap, I actually quite enjoy it. But I can understand that it might throw some people off..

    On the subject of Witt though... I'm always on the lookout to find new artists so I'd be happy to check him out. I searched on Spotify and there are a few artists called something with Witt so I don't want to check out the wrong one lol. If I had to guess it is Witt Lowry? I could be wrong though :)

    That seems to be the stages most people go through the first time watching it lol :) Like he says at the end he's struggled with different illnesses a long time, he is actually in Canada right now going through a 6 month long treatment including all sorts of things. Dude is one to look out for in the future though!
