@renmakesmusic: Hi Ren Just hit 10,000,000 views on YouTube. I've been incredibly moved reading comments from people all over the world about what it means to them. A little backstory for people who dont know it... for a third of my life I was disabled with an autoimmune condition and brain damage, there would sometimes be months on end I would be trapped in bed while my body was on pain, or so tired I could barley stand. I had two stem cell transplants in 2016 which enabled me to actually feel like a normal human for thr firet time in years. For years after the transplants I decided to just push my past in a little box because it was too difficult to identify with a decade of my life where I missed out on all the things I wanted to do. i missed birthdays, new years, friends getting married, growing up. When i got alot better I'd never talk about it with friends, and I just wanted to pretend I was normal. The truth is I still suffered with various mental and physical health problems but i didnt want that to limit me, so i put eveything i had into music. Making this song was part of me accepting I am who I am. I wanted to create an honest piece about what the voices in my head sound like, and the response has been massively overwhelming. By not hiding the parts of my self i have often felt ashamed or it's opened many doors that have brought my dreams and ambitions to life. I still visit doctors nearly every day, and I still am on a journey trying to reclaim my health, but I'm able to say I'm doing what I love, and that means so much to me. Thankyou everyone who has contributed to that in someway, it means so much to me.

As Ari Grossman put it. “This is no longer a song. This is no longer music. This is a soul splitting open and exploding into art.”
