Ren, give us the reason for Lost All/My Faith? Maybe I'm thick, but I can't grasp it after watching 456 reactions to it 😂 See what I did there, 456 😂😂😂 If u know, you know
Ray......I got up at 5am here in the UK to see your reaction it's always the one I wait for. I love your funny reactions but I also love your reflective ones too. You always give 100% tired or not. Yes Ren was in his darkest times when he put together the words of his last few songs. Knowing that helps me to understand his darker songs like masochist. The beauty of your reactions is what you say and has meant a lot to me on so many occasions. Great reaction again. ❤
You really need to watch the live stream he did for this release. He wrote these songs years ago when he was in a very lost and dark place. He said this album sick boy is really from that time period in his life's song. And the album after this one he wants to show the more upbeat and hopeful time. REN IS JUST AMAZING
Who said this was too long? Point me at 'em!! I totally fly to your channel as soon as Ren drops a tune. I watch your react first. You're funny beyond words. You're knowlegable and now I find out you have a Cat!! And how wonderful to hear that you're moving on from your murky past with happiness and joy. Yeah we can all boast a misery somewhere in our lives, but to talk about it publicly takes a special type of strength. Peace!
I go here, Knox, Pegasus and Carly Shea - all have different takes on Ren’s art. You get it dude. What’s amazing is the creativity from it. Many in that place can barely function.
❤ needed to comment again now that I’ve watched your video…had to say so proud of your sobriety for you and your family! My mom since I was 6 has and still is an addict…started with pills…I love her because I remember who she was before but I haven’t had a mom for over 30 years now…so thankful you are here in this place now :)
Thanks Ray, hope you had a good vacation. Yeah, the songs are all connected like Russian dolls, except I reckon when we get to see the whole album we'll see more like a web of connections rather than a chain, maybe. Seems to be a pretty coherent thematic body of work. Ren said on his recent twitch stream that he mostly wrote these songs a couple of years ago when he was in a bad place, but the songs he is writing now are more positive. I'm not sure how much of the drugs stuff to take seriously because he talks about alcohol in various songs but he has said several times publicly that he hasn't drunk for about 10 years. Glad to hear that you got into recovery and managed to heal your relationships.
I'm just about to watch this. Before I do I'll say I've been waiting for you Ray. I obsessively watch Ren reactions and I get the most out of yours. Now...turning it on....
Thank you for being you!! You are funny.. you are smart, and you are BRAVE!! Ren is changing the world.. but he could not do it without you guys.. and then being brave enough to share your truths.. helping all of us connect on another level… Thank you for giving us so much while s you’re exhausted.. Love you!! Go rest… ❤
Ayo Vibe, gotta tell ya man this is my favorite Reaction youve done. 8 years ago I stopped taking Pills, when you talk about being "pilled up" man you totally get it! Thank you for your honesty and your reaction. Love ya fam Ren!! Heya Ren Community, lets give Vibe some Love ya?
Hey Unc Ray !!! Question ?!? Have ya ever noticed how, most very smart people, are lunatics ? (i.e. - Sigmond Freud, Benjamin Franklin, Tesla) just to name a few, Ren is a genius, and he has no idead where to put that energy, and it's driving him crazy. As a fan, that's what I see, I'd have never found Ren, if it weren't for you ! Thanks..... Salute Unc !
Great reaction. I am appreciative of your words speaking from your past experiences. You truly get Ren and see the gift that he is. His songs are the kick in the face we needed during this time.
For anyone who whinges about the time i could happily spend 40mins vibing with you every day of the week .will you be my younger brother from another mother 😂 love and respect ❤❤❤ oh yeh this song is🔥if you want to hear Ren sing even higher watch Heretic its like listening to a fallen angel sing 😘xx
Also biggest thing to remember is alot of the songs on Sick Boi were written before he started improving health-wise about 2 years ago. So they dont necessarily reflect his current feelings
Oh my laaaaawd I got to tell you mate I always wait for your Ren reaction, you have got to be the best reactor out there!!!!! Really REALLY REEEEALLY wanna watch you react to Ren doing a 50’s Ren vibe listen to “Oh my Woman” it’s like something from the 50’s and his vocals is on point !!!! Big love from North Wales 🏴 REN’s home town, we’re super proud of him !!!!!! Love you mate xx
Great reaction as usual. BTW The stackable dolls you are talking about are Russian Nesting Dolls.👍 As far as 1/2 Xanax and 1/2 valium, I would not even feel that.🤣
About to watch your reaction, just want to shout out myself haha and you because you have helped me understand so much about hip hop…but I actually got the Our Father prayer flip all by myself haha that Catholic guilt coming in hot hahahaha
I think the consistency in the polo shirt is either just choosing something simple to wear all the time because if you have chronic illness choosing and changing outfits etc takes your energy which you can't waste or else it's a reference to that thing where really successful people wear the same thing all the time as it's a waste of their time to choose a different wardrobe all the time. Love this new song, it hit me hard 💯
Ray, Rens play on words is like no other! Along with the theatrics could be a play, or a movie or the greatest concert you've ever been to! I don't think there's anyone in the past or present that could do all what Ren does! I've said this many times, Ren is a Lyrical Miracle Musical Genius with Theatrics! He's a master of his craft! I can only hope when he's up to it, he goes on tour in the United States and call it the Renaissance music festival! The tour would be a sellout with all his Renagades attending! Til next time, take care, and Relax...
Look at your shirt and act accordingly 😊 you only waste your vacations if you're immediately exhausted (again) one week later. Not good! ☝🏻 I ❤ your reactions.
Fire reaction Ray as always .. love it. "I contemplate existence With consistence in my polo shirt" .. Einstein reference... urban myth ... apparently Einstein wore a new set of the same clothes everyday so that he didn't have to waste any brain power on choosing clothes. He could save his thoughts for thinking about our existence. Ren saves his thoughts for his tunes and lyrics... Maybe...
@paulo4223 Interesting take on "I contemplate existence with consistence in my polo shirt."--as I remember reading that about Einstein too... My take on it was more to the point that the polo shirt is the "norm", the clothes, the cloak you put on to fit in with the world, but Ren in a polo shirt is akin to sighting Big Foot (sassysquach)
I think the use of the similar lines is in the other voice as if it's saying it back to him, like a different inner perspective. The glowing pink eye self reflection parts are all from his dark side. I love this song, top 3 Ren for me.
Hi Ray. Just wanted to let you know that I love your reactions. It is the Ren reactions that brought me to your channel. Your reactions are priceless and always brings a smile to my face. This reaction was different in so much as you talked about your own addictions. Be proud of your strength to talk about it and surviving through it. I have subscribed to your channel which I rarely do and it is because you are an authentically good guy. Much love and peace from New Zealand mate.
This is officially my favorite Ren song! Hit me in my soul! EPIC banger! Could be on a movie soundtrack.❤❤❤ Been waiting for your reaction! ❤❤ Thank you for sharing about your addiction. I can relate so much and I think that is why this song hits me so hard. Ren is the voice for those that don't know how to speak up for themselves! ❤
What you need to remember Is Ren is an Artist and Most Artists put their Pain, grief, fears, anger, etc... into their Art instead of into their life. Most of these songs are a few months or few years old. So just because someone sings or raps about checking out doesn't mean they actually Want to....❤❤❤❤
Pain is my shepherd; Youre told "this will fix you" when it harms you, you follow mindlessly "until the side effects show" Pain is my sword; (verbally/mentally/physically attack) your Loved one/unsuspecting bystander who is only trying to help. Youre shield; "dont treat me the way ive treated you, its my condition"
Love the Mind of Ren and Your Reactions are Awesome. Get Rens IQ and Let Me Know. Ren Scrambles My Mind to the End of The Earth.❤ I May Fall off as He Flatten it. Lol😂 Congratulations on winning the Fight and Beat That Dragon. I Commend You on That !!
A Nickelodeon award! LMAO ... but for real, you talking about your struggles and going back to that line 'my shepard, my sword and my shiled unlocked a ton of my own sh*t. Glad I watched this one. Stay strong and get some sleep!
The last couple songs and this one I feel are like a Ren rebirth I'm looking forward to seeing what's coming the next couple songs it's like the last couple months are hi Ren song but in chapters I think we are going to see more singing and softer tracks coming 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Im a recovering alcoholic/ drug addict. Im so glad you got thise references. Sometimes i have a hard time explaining to people what i go through every day. You articulated so well and Ren always is a wordsmitb. Thank you for your insight and your abilty to speak about it. I mighg watch this a few times to try and remember your words
People sometimes forget the entire album is a theme. It’s mostly concerning his own struggle, which is relatively all encompassing, but there are still many concepts put forth about sickness of all forms. Everyone who has struggled can relate, and if you’ve never struggled…then you’re either the luckiest few on earth, or you’re lying to yourself.
Ray.. go bed mate! As always, you deliver and don't disappoint. I've said it before but you are 💯 the best reactor, period... and I don’t mean red week!! Thanks again man, and I genuinely mean that. Thank you Ray. ❤
Dude I appreciate you on so many levels. You got me laughing and crying! And I wish all your reactions were this long! Seriously tho thank you for sharing that much of yourself. We can all learn from you! Hope you got your rest!❤
20:20 Oliver Anthony just did a podcast with Dr Jordan Peterson, I really think Ren could do the same! His story (and his intelligence) would make for an immense interview that so many people could relate to and learn from!! I love this song more than masochist (which I wasn't so keen on) and your reaction once again beats them all!!! Well done Ray!!
He has zaid this was done 2 years ago when he was in a dark place bur now he's in a better place but it just so happens that these songs are dropping now
Didn’t see it mentioned. But the 6 broken mirrors in the video. 7 years bad luck for each. That equals 42. The number 42 is especially significant to fans of science fiction novelist Douglas Adams' “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,” because that number is the answer given by a supercomputer to “the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.”
Your reactions are seriously the best! Yesterday I was crying my eyes out and you cheered me up something chronic and again this morning I get home from work and you had me nearly wetting myself howling 😂 Glad to hear you are through the other side of addiction, Iv been there too my friend 🖤 I am also the queen of letting intrusive thoughts win 😂😂🖤
RENaissance! Liked & Sub!! Thanks for your reaction. Please everyone preorder Sick Boi! Let’s get REN to #1. Aliens vs figuring out how to pay for life …….maybe it’s cheaper to live with them on another planet.
No hes saying he constantly comtemplates his existence in his polo shirt 😅 hes so slick& witty god i adore that man & feel every single word to my soul all of his music especially this song though 😮😮💯🤘❤️ you're great as well! I wish i could subscribe twice just so u could see how awesome u really r❗❗🫶
Ray you wonderful human being ❤. I love your posse (with you during your reaction) so much. The way you use them! I noticed that lately you are talking way more info the camera 😁🙏👍 Your reaction is so pure and raw again. Sharing your thoughts and meanderings! I agree with your adoration for this wonderful human called Ren. Ren himself doesn't even realise how many ride or dies he has, he doesn't think he deserves it. For him only the message is important. But we need him to get the message heard. ❤❤❤ Stay strong and courageous in your personal recovery ❤❤
"Classes on Renstory". Perfect! Those would be the most useful and engaging classes ever - no one would skip those! "When he went that high, there was a little speaker in my headphone that said Warranty Invalid"🤣😂 You know you ask like how does Ren take us from tears, to tears of elation to tears of laughter in one song. You do the same Ray - one minute you're cracking me up, and the next you're deeper than a vet's arm up a cow, pulling all the thoughts & feels out of us. Thanks for being so true & open with us. So many things you said I was like "yup, that's exactly it". When you know, you Know... Loved your message at the end for Ren too
Your reactions are fire! Is it Ren that brings that out in you? I'm 28 minutes in and thinking, "What? 28 minutes? Nah, nah, nah, song's not that long...." Love it that you keep going and replay as needed until you get it all out.
