I THOUGHT I WAS READY! Ren - Mackay | First Time Reaction  

Amen.

💛 Thank you for that. I feel the same way.

Sorry about the loss of your wife. I lost my mom on January 8 2024. Thank you for your service.

Beautifully said and once again thank you Ren

Thank you Mark. I hope that you find both peace and happiness.❤x

Perfectly said ❤

Ren is made of music

My biased take. When Ren gets saved, he will have an added dimension of hope.

​@IsaacDDuke I too hope for Ren to find faith. He's such a talented, beautiful human. Filled with Holy Spirit... I can barely imagine.

@@IsaacDDuke My view, also biased, is that Ren is saving himself and bringing a number of people along for the ride, myself included.

have you been there?

I'm sorry for your loss. ❤ I lost my then youngest child when he was 3. Such a short life, and it ended for the dumbest and most preventable reasons. 😢 Everyone mentioned his age when lamenting the tragedy. He has 4 older siblings. My pain wouldn't have been reduced - or increased - by losing one of my older children. I joined a grieving parents group. One of the most commonly said things is, "I wish I could see him and hug him one more time." The thing is, I did. I came home that same day from a weeks long stay in the hospital, where I very nearly passed away myself. Oh God, how I longed for home and family while I slowly recovered, learning again to walk, talk, swallow, toilet, eat, and write. When we got home that day, my little son crawled onto the bed next to me. He chattered about his new toy and updated me on all that had happened while I was away. He remembered I was pregnant and asked me if the baby was okay. He kissed me and told me, "I love you. Mommy." Then he ran away to play, with none of us suspecting he'd leave Earth a few hours later. For those who have a bad goodbye or angry words, I know that must be such a source of bitter regret. I had one of the best imaginable goodbyes. I can say with certainty: it's never enough. A few years, smaller in number than the fingers on one hand... or decades by the multiple... our time with the people we love is too short. ❤

Thank you for sharing that and I am so sorry for your loss. I did get to,say goodbye to my dad before he died which was cathartic and desperately emotional at the same time. You are right that life goes on and we honor our loved ones with good memories. Best wishes.

@@sandiraymond1761 Thank you for sharing. I can't say anything to make you feel better. Nothing anyone can say will ever make things better. I just want to give you a hug. Probably because I need one right now as well. I was already on the verge of crying after the song and this... It just got me. I hope you're finding ways to deal with the loss of a child and finding ways to still be strong for your other children.❤

Thanks for sharing that. It adds extra dimension to what's conveyed in the video.

the way you described this, is exactly how I feel. The way the music let you feel that childhood, growing up, fun stuff, then solemn again. It doesn't have words, but we all feel what he was trying to say.

Thank you very much! :)

I’m very sorry for your loss! ❤️‍🩹

Yes, he did. It appears that Ren loves to link things together and it really is no accident!

I agree! Also reminded of some of The Theory of Everything and Twilight series scores by Johann Johannsson and Alexandre Desplat ✨ Incredible

Callum’s death was a tragic accident but a very brave friend also died trying to save him that day. Here’s an extract from the Coroner’s report: “ Coroner Dewi Pritchard-Jones said: "The decision to go swimming in the conditions that prevailed that day wasn't wise. "Although it wasn't difficult to go in the sea the problem was in getting out and the waves were such they were unable to get out safely. "I think Callum's enthusiasm was too much for him in that he decided he was going swimming. It wasn't a wise decision. "If he wasn't so enthusiastic he might not have jumped in. But he went in for the pleasure of swimming in such conditions and the fact he couldn't get out was a pure accident." Mr Pritchard-Jones added: "Lewis hadn't intended to go swimming but when he realised his friend was in difficulties he stripped off and in his underpants dived in to try to save his friend." The double inquest in Llangefni was told that Mr Darroch is to be nominated for a posthumous bravery award by the Carnegie Foundation. Mr Mackay's father Steven said the award was "absolutely" justified. He said: "We want to pay a huge tribute to Lewis Alan Darroch for his unstinting bravery in not even considering his own safety but just going in trying to rescue our son Callum. "Just by a quirk of fate, a tragedy has happened.”

@@supertuscans9512Thanks for the info.

Thanks.

Thank you very much!! What a kind comment. This encourages me

@@rosalieelliottofficial you do a great job on them all, but this particular one really made me feel it. ❤️ Oh hey check out Noga Erez!

I can imagine this one hits deep, Willey! Thank you for continuously being here and part of this community. :) Would not be the same without you. Truly.

Glad you saw that too so special to see at that moment

As a Mackay, I endorse this explanation 😂 Och aye, Muck Eye!

it sure isn't Mackie

Maybe. At one point I could hear swelling strings accompanying this in my mind's ear (is there such a thing?). But on the other hand, the stark simplicity of a single piano really allows the emotion to come through. So put me down as 'undecided'. :o) In any case, this is a magnificent piece.

I'd be happy with the string section from Money Game 3

Yeah, London symphony behind him would be stunning. But also agree just him and the piano is .... just beautiful

Yes!!! Einaudi came to my mind as well while listening

@@rosalieelliottofficial shows the depth of his influences

Thank you very much for your support!! 😊 it means very much

Well said!

@@rosalieelliottofficial With Ren comes immersion in his Totality, he carries one to a place in which it is glorious to be
