7 Sins "Salwch yw fy athrawen Fe dorrodd fy ngwên Mae fy esgyrn yn teimlo'n hen Yma y gorwedd corff Ren" [Welsh] (Illness is my teacher My smile broke My bones feel old Here lies Ren's body) I lay broken on the kitchen floor I clawed at the laminate Pain wandered my body, an uninvited guest Bones of a home where the devil could rest I cursed the gods, cursed my messiah Cursed my maker, I cursed all of creation There I lay, feeble and thin (Sick boi, sick boi, sever my sins) Have you ever felt pain? Stomach wrenching, unrelenting, tell me Have you ever felt pain? Condescending, muscles clenching, tell me Have you ever felt pain? A rose emerges from the pavement cracks They'll write my eulogy with broken glass Eternal parallax, pain Pain the author, I accept this Pain the teacher, bruised apprentice Pain the system, pain will come Pain the mother, I'm the son Pain that splits you in two when it hits you The dark and the light are converged to one Pain that twists you, the Heavens dismiss you The Father, the Ghost, and the Holy Son Body bags, body bags, body-bagging me Zip it up quick if things don't be I search for peace in the belly of a beast Sick boi, sick boi, onomatopoeia Running up a fever, followin' a leader Wanna be me, ha? Grass isn't greener Bright light seizure, dynamite dealer Dine at the table of the coroner, eat up, fuck Thirteen years and I've been feelin' so stuck Lucky number thirteen, just my luck Empires tumble, rubbles and dust The universe shrinks and the planets combust In God we trust God tied a noose to his neck And he walked to the edge and he jumped Angels wept And I beared witness watching the whole thing unfold from my bed A bed where I never deep rest A bed where I'm always depressed A bed with a human oppressed A bed for the tomb where I slept A bed in this room that's a womb for this mess Sick boi, bitten by a tick boy Tell me how it feels to be buried while you breathe Stones and sticks, boy, pain is a gift, boy Hard to make a stand when you crawl on your knees And I kneel I kneel at the altar of my own disease and I beg I begged the sky for mercy Mercy never came, I did me dirty Thirty-three and hurting, cursing Jesus died at 33 and still, my sins are lurking Gears are turning, future stays uncertain Surgeon incision, murder ambition Fear of the unknown preserves a religion Denounced the gods when my body went missing Back then the pain sprayed ricocheted like a MAC 10 Hot lead hit the bed I was trapped in Red wings, seraphim, one of God's grace Cried tears from Heaven like Clapton Stick pins in a voodoo, Hendrix Thick skin, stay humble-Kendrick Stay skeptic, check the biometrics Bloodstain crime scene, forensics Lights on, lights out Fade into the background Slow down, slow down Runnin' from the silhouette of self-doubt By now, by now Really should've figured this shit out Lights on, lights out Smackdown Let it be, let it be, quote John Lennon Click-clack, John got shot for attention What does that tell you about the good of intentions? Bitterness formed in the storm of aggression Prophets get dropped, imagining heaven Martin Luther, Mahatma, more deadness Six, six, followed by six and seven Build 'em, praise 'em, bury 'em, dead 'em I was born to be half a man with half a chance My heart is in half, half-righteous, half is damned And half a gram, heart goes troubles end Thoughts stay darker than Uruk-Hai's masterplan Sharper than glass, shards splinter and Sinner man, sinner man, irony could kill a man Hay makes money when the music lands, expand Pay me my cheese, rain down parmesan Six followed by seven Seven whole sins for a self-made Armageddon Sin one: Pride Pride makes a man kill a man for his ego to survive Sin two: Lust Lust makes the grass look greener, crucifies trust Sin three: Gluttony Humans consume and consume, planet Earth gets a frontal lobotomy Four: Sloth Rinse and repeat, reruns, repeat, time lost Sin five: Envy That's when one man's win is an another man's frenzy Sin six: Wrath Rage, vengeance, kill it, psychopath Sin seven: Greed Greed plants a seed that will destroy us all if we succumb to greed If we take what we need Then take more than we need, then our oceans will bleed Still, we feed and we feed and we sleep and repeat Then we exile the shepherds and follow the sheep We inherit the mean We inherit this world that we bruised and we beat We inherit this vanity, circles of greed Inherit the liars, the murderous thieves One sin for every one day of the week
I am often asked, "Sir, what is the best Ren song in your esteemed view?" Well now, that is a hard one. Almost every Ren song is the best one, so brilliant that it is virtually impossible to single out one song. However, right now, Seven Sins is the best Ren song. I have listened to this over and over and it only gets better. This a grower. Plant it, water it and enjoy it.
My favourite, since it came out, has been "Wicked Ways". I seem to always incorporate it somewhere on both my spontaneous Ren Commute song queues, to work and back home.
It’s in the the realm of which Ren song am I currently listening to and what my mood is much like Nightwish songs and performances what I currently at that moment listening to in my favorite. That said while I appreciate and enjoy his produced songs his acoustic live performances are amazing.
First of all, I saw the reaction in your faces and that was worth more than words. This song gets better each time I hear it (there's a lot going on in this one). Congrats btw. I enjoyed this.
Yeah it was a lot of fun Ren ran a great social media campaign. The excitement of new releases, live acoustic and back catalogue made it 🤯 caught the 🌊 A good year for music.
Fan club is great, usnt it? Full of love and support for all. Seven Sins describes the day he fell into psychosis at 25 when another treatment caused reaction and excruciating pain . Sych a powerful song. It was just done before album release and meant to be the intro. I belong to his Patreon and he has a BTS sorta that shows him bulding this song.
Part of me wants to give Ren a hug and part of me is just proud of him which is weird because I don't know even know him. I don't love every track but I find the ones that aren't my favourites are the ones I listen to when I'm in a mood. Go Figure.
sometimes for first time reactions even anyone just listening or seeing this for the first time i think as reactors why wouldnt you watch it through in its entirety at first and then react to it by watching and commenting a second time. but anyways great reaction, im glad you guys got involved with money game etc. love you guys
The simple answer is for copyright but we didn't pause this video at all because we were just digesting the song. As far as random comments being thrown out there I think it's just because you're watching a video with someone. At the end of the day we're just a couple that explores music together in the basement of our house ya know.
@@Killermcknight guys sorry, i didnt mean it to come across as a critiscm or anything it was just a thought based off your comments after you watched the video. im saying in some cases it would be a cool way to react and maybe dissect the song. it wasnt a dig at how you do your videos or anything like that my sincere apolgies if thats how it seemed.
No, you didn’t come across bad at all. Sorry if my comment made it seem that way, or if mine came across that way. I also just reread your initial comment and realized I misunderstood what you were saying. Yeah, I feel like we would comprehend the act song better if we listened to it a first time and came back a second time to react. There would be more to dissect, for sure. But we also like them to be real, genuine first time reactions. And I know that means sometimes we process less about the song, because it does sometimes take multiple times to listen to it to catch a lot of the things. But we enjoy giving genuine reactions more than we do having certain things to say. I think if we were more educated on music itself (knowing the terms, processes, etc), we would probably do it that way, because we would talk more in depth about those things. But since we’re just strictly music lovers with none of that sort of knowledge, our whole thing is really just how our first initial genuine reaction is. If that makes sense haha
Congratulations on the arrival of your precious boy! So happy to see you reacting to Ren again. You two are so expressive, even when you don't speak! This song is living in my brain - every time I wake up, it's playing.
Hi! New to your channel via Ren. I'm commenting prior to watching your reaction because I don't want to forget. I contacted Music Glue a few days ago about the status of my order of "Sick Boi" vinyl (Special Edition). I ordered early Oct. They're sold out, writing that possibly some orders were damaged in shipment. They refunded my money the next day and asked me to keep checking for when it's back in stock. I don't have a record player, but I bought it to support Ren in his push for the #1UK album. 🙋♀️
Finding another RENegade even in the UK is always a great feeling, you know instantly you have something in common,have you done Rens version of The Verve’s “bittersweet symphony”
These songs from sick boi are true stuff folks. Its not just fiction. He h a s lymes disease. He is being treated in Canada for it. Was misdiagnosd for about10 years. Hi Ren was his introduction to his situation he has been living through. ns written as he was living through his nightmare.he is amazing for sure. So many layers to Ren. Brilliant guy but so level headed and down to earth.
I just can't imagine anyone not enjoying Ren. LOL.. I just can't. Great reaction. This is a fabulous song. I think I read somewhere that this is his favorite from the album. In a way, it might be for me too. ONLY because I am not 100% thrilled with the version of Money Game Part 3 on the album. THAT is my 2nd favorite Ren song of all time. BUT, I love the video version so much, and the album version is different enough that I am a bit disappointed. Just subtle differences, but it's the subtle parts that I enjoyed from the video. You know? Don't get me worng though I adore everything about Ren. I play the CD constantly in my car. I hope you got your vinyl by now. It seems as though you must have tried to post this a while back? Because it's been out a while, and I believe you said it just dropped.
I do love rap music - the beat, the tune, also the rhyme in the song ... but since I'm not a native of English, I can't really understand the message right away - have to listen two or five more times, lol - I know about the seven sins, but can't grab it when I watched ure reaction 😂🙏 Funny, when most non English speakers - in Indonesia for example - can only understand English rapping with cheesy or silly lyric in basic English, but not types of lyric like in this song, making kind of "stereotype" that rap music is an American "street" music, with all those dirty, rude, classless words spoken by the singers but anyway, thank you so much for this reaction, S&T ❤️❤️❤️ really great suggestion, I think ... I'm honestly curious and want to dig more about those lyrics 👍 Have a great day ❤️
Congratulations on your baby! How exciting. Please react to Asaf Avidan. He is a true gem. At times i have some trouble catvhing all the lyrics. But hevdoes have lyric vids to listen after. At first i suggest the live videos.
Thank you Stephen and Taylor for another great reaction, Please tell me you’ve already reacted to RENS fred again mash up. Can’t wait till your reaction
Another Amazing artist supposedly he recommended we watch named Asaf Avidan....just wow!! This guy is one in a million also.try 900 days first. Hurry folks. He writes his own stuff also
If you haven't already reacted to heretic and everybody drops, please could you react to these songs? I've subscribed in the hope of you doing so. Great reaction to this song by the way. I would donate in order for you to react to the songs I've asked for but times are hard for me at the moment sorry guys. ❤❤❤
Great reaction as always!! Ren has managed to bring back my love for music after years of only hearing dull formulaic factory generated crap I just stopped listening to it all. Ren breaks all the rules in what he makes, there are no 2 tracks that sound the same, it's brought the fun back that you never really know what you are going to get!
I'm confused -- this video came out 1/27/24, but you said this song came out a few days ago? It came out last October. Is RU-vid showing me the incorrect date on your reaction? Great reaction tho! Many thanks, and, as ever: MORE REN!
The song came without video back in Oktober as it was the first song at the Sick Boi album. There were reactors that did react Back then already. About 3 weeks ago the Lyric video was released. That is what they refer to I believe.
Great question! When we recorded this, it was a day after the lyrical video was posted by Ren. however, this reaction video wasn't edited and ready to be released until today. Taylor gave birth to our son in December so I had to hire a video editor for our videos. We batch record 10 or 20 videos at a time and our editor edits as they come in. if you look back you'd probably see us in the same clothes lol
