MADE ME CRY AT THE END!! 😕 | Ren - Hi Ren | REACTION 

thanks for checking out my song guys so glad you enjoyed it and it moved u!

Ohhhh Recklezz.... You dont know... But you will have a long journey with Ren

As a 42 yr old guy with lifelong anxiety, I bawled the first couple times I watched this and teared up the next dozen. Angels and demons have it easy. They're pure good or evil, they don't have self doubt. The rest of us have this battle in our heads every day.

I’ve must’ve seen this and the reactions hundreds of times and it still moves me

This is the kind of artistry that gives "broken" people hope. Ren, through this performance piece, has become to a lot of people exactly what he stated in the song, "...the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope". So powerful, so impactful. The song structure itself is incredible. It starts off as a battle between his positive (Angel) and negative (Demon) aspects, the negative then makes an overpowering last ditch effort to reign supreme, tearing free and trying to take control, but ultimately fails as the final act, being the "God" aspect, emerges Triumphant, though still acknowledging and accepting that it will ALWAYS be a battle because we are all "a coin with 2 different sides". It's a beautifully cathartic and raw musical masterpiece. Ren is truly special. Welcome to the Ren rabbit-hole, it's a trip worth taking. This was the 4th take he did and yes, it was done live. Wait until you hear some of his other stuff, especially his storytelling ("The Tale of Jenny & Screech"). You haven't even touched the breadth of this young man's talent yet. The pig character (imo) represents the doctors and therapist who have essentially butchered him for years through their misdiagnosis. It's the system that focuses on peddling more pills than on genuinely trying to help to fix broken/ill people, caring more about profit than individual health. The bastardization of the hippocratic oath. He literally thought he was going insane because he was told repeatedly that the pain and symptoms he was experiencing were all in his head (psychosomatic). He had reached a point where he literally resigned himself to dying before he reached 30. Turns out he had Lyme's disease the whole time and it ran rampant through his system for 10 years, even to the point of causing brain damage. Ironically, if Ren hadn't gone through what he has, would he have ever made the art he has? There's no question that his suffering has shaped his music and now he's finally getting the recognition he undoubtedly deserves. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Ren is special.

Mate this song made me tear too. He connected into the human condition so much. We all have that inner critical voice and we contend with it like a dance as Ren said. Your tears just mean you’re human 😊

Brother the point where he's talking about cursing his clumsy feet and getting older and learning to relax... I see the emotion in your eyes and overall facial expression, and that hit me watching your reaction. Keep your chin up you're a pretty special guy from what we see in your reactions. You seem to be a great spouse and great dad and talented content creator 💯❤️

I'm a 60 year old that has been fighting lymphoma for over 20 years. This song makes me tear up every time I hear it.

Yes. Meditation is a huge help with not letting You get in your own way. 🖤 sending my love & prayers Recklezz.

Bro your in for it. This dude is going to blow your mind. From story telling to musicality. This dude is amazing

Omg. I am so ready for this reaction. 🤘🖤 love you guys.

1) The Big Push ( His Band ) I Shot The Sheriff /Road to Zion 2 ) Chalk Out Lines LIVE with Chinchilla 3 ) anyone of the other 200 videos, they are all so different and awesome.Welcome to Ren's world.

Hop , like good little bunnies, down the Ren rabbit-hole. Astonishment awaits! Also, confusion, pain, and delight. And possibly whiplash.

Welcome to the RENaissance, a home for the lost and broken; enjoy the ride - For more Bardcore - check out the 3 part Tale of Jenny & Screech If you want to dive more into the rap side of his catalogue, I'd start with "What You Want" which is a brilliant homage to the Beasties, followed with "Genesis" followed by "Sick Boy" followed by "Illest of Our Time" (this one goes after the previous one so you have some grasp of the meaning) and the trail goes from there For more rock oriented fare follow the breadcrumbs to The Big Push and dive in (I personally suggest Sweet Little Lady, Swan Song, Englishman in New York, and the cherry on top 'I Shot The Sherriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop') Last but not least, don't be afraid to check down the alleys, Ren has built himself a circle of talented musician friends that will surprise you and make you glad you chose to look for hidden treasure (Hint: *Chinchilla, Eden Nash, Sam Tompkins, and so many more) (Also Humble w/ Eden Nash is just pure young punk/rude boy heaven) *Chinchilla: Take 1 part Christina, 1 part Jessie J, 1 part Rhianna, blend well and pour over your own unique style, served ice cold by the baddest bitch in town (See Fingers (Live), Little Girl Gone (the official video is just *fun*)

Shizzz… I’m in my 40’s. I’m “old” and this re-inspired me to pick up music again. I have a very expensive guitar & rig that I haven’t played for years (had a kid/career change/no one to bounce off of/etc). Ren is what we all need to spark the next wave, and I’m along for the ride 🤙

My dude, I stumbled upon your reaction and I have a lot of sympathy for you. I, myself, have dealt with and learned to manage anxiety, mostly health anxiety. Ren is right, its part of you, and you really have to learn to dance with yourself, imperfection and flaws included. I’ve managed to grab a hold on my life and significantly reduce the amount of anxiety attacks I experience, almost to a point where I don’t have them anymore. I don’t know you, you don’t know me… but if you wanna talk about it, I’d be more than happy to shoot the shit. Share my experience, etc. I guess that’s the beauty of Hi Ren, it gets people talking about mental health and it connects people. Reach out anytime, good luck bro. ❤

This is such a beautiful creative piece of performance art, I’ve watched about a thousand reactions to it too. It’s such a deeply meaningful song that just about everyone can relate to in some very personal way. He’s gifted beyond belief and a lot of it was born of pain and hardship. You got lots more of Ren to discover and connect with. From mental illness to physical illness, he’s battled it all. Still working towards wellness today. He writes, composes, even produces his own beats on most of what he does except his retakes (Bittersweet Symphony, Losing it and a couple other songs borrowed that he rapped over) complete with his own beat boxing on some tracks, and he directs his own videos, shoots them with his trusty talented, cameraman and friend Sam. Glad you’re working on yourself, remember these few bits of advice: no one can love you more or better than you should love yourself. Offer yourself the same grace and kindness that you offer to others, your no less worthy. And don’t give up, you got babies depending on you for a lead to follow. Be the man your children need and deserve. You got this. Not saying its easy but it is achievable, as long as you take it one second at a time. You getting yourself right will be the example your children will follow. They too will place value on themselves and their own physical and mental well-being, self-care is a priceless lesson in and act of LOVE. What you’re doing for yourself, you’re really doing for them. Good luck my friends, good to see you both back ♥️

It amazes me and makes me happy that these reactions get so many people to open up and share their own struggles. It's like it brings us all together to uplift each other and spread positivity and strength 🖤 I wish you strength and positivity

WOW ....not seen your reaction yet ......BUT KNEW YOU WOULD....you are now down the rabbit hole X

The Tale of Jenny and Screech next!! The long version. It's 13 minute long.

To hear his singing... Chaulk Outlines and How to be me! They're duos with Chinchilla! Don't miss her new video that was released yesterday called "Little Girl Gone"... your Lady Will dig it for Sure!!! She's the definition of Bad Bitxh!!!

Yall look beautiful as usual happy belated bir th day to your lil toddler !

Ren is amazing and incredibly versatile. His band The Big Push “I Shot the Sheriff/ Road to Zion/Hip Hop” (please do this version and not just “I I Shot the Sheriff”…it’s so much better). Also Ren can rap rap….”Illest of Our Time”, “The Hunger”, “Power” and his song featuring Chincilla “Chaulk Outlines” live version (might need tissues on this one but worth it) Ren is battling lime disease…he went through a huge struggle for years because they misdiagnosed him for a decade. Much more to his story though. Salute from northeast 🏎Indy😁 🙂🙏💜✌️

i am so here for any reaction you do to Ren or his band the big push. jump into the rabbit hole my friends, you most definitely will not be disappointed! much love to you and yours.

FINALLY, you are in for a ride with REN. He is fire and can rap his a$% off and sing. He is brilliant!

He can rap rap, do ska, rock , reggae, pop you name it, he’s a musical Swiss Army knife.

He is so amazing!❤ hope you will explore his other stuff! Great to see you two!!

Hunger, Losing It, Illest of our time next... Also... don't miss his "Jenny and Screech" trilogy... the Full Version!!!

Young man, idk what you're going through in life, but I remember you from another reaction video over a year ago. I see growth. Keep pushing man, you got this.

As A 6,3 feet 275 pound guy i never not felt chills whilst listening to this

welcome to the rabbithole man. Been following you for a while and glad you're back and found Ren. His story and music is insane.

So nice to watch this amazing performance and experience y’all’s heartfelt reaction. 13:56 - indeed we all are human. Please do you and us a favor and enjoy more Ren! 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼

9minutes of theatrical, lyrically, instrumental, theatrical masterpiece!!! Genius!!

Ren is honestly one of the best newer talents out now period

Stay strong brother we all get knocked down but its how we get back up.

Recklezz, you get it. You're wise beyond your 25 years. I hope what you're going through improves.

Bro I been waiting for this. This dude is so talented make sure u keep going down the Ren rabbit hole. He's dope

This guy is the real deal, probably the most talented all around musician i ever heard..literally. he does these live to. He raps and sings to,huge catalog. Has the best fanbase on youtube,nothing but love

Hey guys meet Ren! He is one of the most amazing artists of our time and that is not over statement! He can do anything! You can’t put him in one genre. Ren is a journey you need to go on. He is medicine for me! My favorite artist right now and I don’t know if that will ever change! Ren is love! I have PTSD as Ren does as well. Anxiety and depression are hand in hand with PTSD. So my heart goes out to you! Even if it’s not the same trauma I understand! Hugs to you both!!

Make sure you check out his street performances. Hes in a band called the big push and he does busking with sam tompkins as well.

Great reaction love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍

Justin Hawkins just did a 2 hr. Interview with Ren yesterday. Wonderful look into Ren's creative mind and difficult path.

Ren is an artist that will make you have more insight in your life. And ren has struggles in his life. He has been in life support and a lot more. But i feel you for opening up at the end about how you do certain things in your life. To help you.

Powerful .. masterful lyric right at the beginning of him singing! ... so cower at the man I've become as I sing at the top of my lungs!

Recklezz, ☮️💟🕉️. Y’all rock. Ren rocks.

He's the British version of Tom Macdonald in a way! This Cat plays All the instruments, makes all his beats and videos! Usually in One Shot! Recorded live!!!

This song always moves me. Thank you for sharing and your reaction! 🙏🏻🔥

Welcome to the Renaverse it's a beautiful deep fun musical place been here for months. Dominos is a favourite ❤️ Ren speaks the truth and is a wonderful Human being enjoy ✌️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I pray you find peace in whatever you’re going through.

Im so glad you guys found Ren. He can literally do anything...sing, rap, storytell..and does it all incredibly! I have been a long time follower of you guys and hate to know what you're going through. I also have PTSD and it does things to you physically and emotionally that is hard to explain. Keep up your self work and remember to give yourself grace. You and your precious family are in my prayers. You've got this.

Thank you for sharing your personal struggles. It is hard to be vulnerable! You are helping people!! I have also suffered from anxiety, especially health related. Good luck on your journey! Keep keeping on!!❤

I've watched this probably 50 times, if not more, I tear up every time. The inner struggle is real.

Loved you guys for ages.....so glad you are checking out Ren....loads to discover

Meditation is a game changer.Its not necessarily easy at first, but definitely worth it.

I don’t know why everyone that pushes reactors to watch this video doesn’t also tell them to leave the captions off.

Ren is super multi talented..he can do everything! Rap..sing..story tell...

Ah..You just discovered Ren Discovered him myself just a few weeks ago...You can add him to your list of great Independents to explore....seems like these independence are becoming more and more interesting and deep then any of the main stream crap thats shoved down our throats.

I’ve been following you for ages and I’m so glad you guys finally reacted to this! I knew you would love it ☺️❤️

Someone must have already mentioned that this was filmed live. He said he films it over and over until they get that one take. Genius!

It's such a beautiful expression of thoughts, feelings and emotion. I never thought I'd be who I am today, when I imagined my future from childhood and adolescence. But at the age of 30 I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Through that fight treatment, recovery and remission I have developed fairly debilitating (at times) anxiety amongst other side effects and issues. But it's in art made by others like this and through my own personal artistic expressions that I've found so much comfort and understanding. I am eternally greatful to Artists like Ren, NF, Dave, Radiohead, The Smiths, Joy Division, The Velvet Underground, Peter Doherty, Kate Bush, The Doors, The Beatles, Wu-Tang Clan, The Kinks and my all time favourite artist David Bowie.

Ren makes you think !! In ways that when you try to describe how it impacts you, you use words that you don't normally use and in ways that you don't normally do. Ren has changed Music forever. His genre-bending/Blending and storytelling has raised the Bar !! he is musically gifted. Welcome to Ren-World. The Rabbit hole is deep !!

Hell yes my favorite reaction channel finally reacts to Ren. I recommend Genesis for rap and Chalk Outlines for his singing.

Thank you guys for your transparent honest review

Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole strap in and hang on!!!

@ren sad you weren't recognized sooner when you were signed on,,, but at the same time, those who find you, you have helped them through tough times. Hang in there brother, we need more like you... as for @lifewith recklezz, great reaction.

Ren is as deep a rabbithole as Pink Floyd and Nightwish. Maybe Sick Boi next for rap rap, only 4 minutes long, or the Illest of Our Time. This video has rxers opening up and sharing, which is important to normalize this message

you're trying to reach people through your yt channel rather than only profit.💗

So glad you guys reacted to this. I think most of us can relate to his words in some way💕💕all of his music is powerful. I struggle with terrible anxiety. Never feel like it’s Corny to meditate, journal or do yoga. These things can really make a difference 🙏💕😊. Thanks for your vulnerability and great reaction.

welcome to Ren,enjoy the ride

thank you for reacting to my favourite artist of all time ❤❤

Thanks for being real. Peace and love to you.

REN IS AMAZING...SO DAM TALENTED!

Must've watched at least 50 to 60 reactions to this and they all end the same way....stunned silence.....deeply moving ❤

I really appreciated your reaction....hugs to you both. Rens message is amazing.❤😊 ty.

waiting for this one. next check out some more of him - illest of our time, sick boy, what you want, loosing it, dear god, and more

Been watching you since you started. Always happy to see a new video. Thank you for sharing, man. You don’t know how many people you helped just by talking about it. Peace.

Mate, he speaks to us all. I reckon it’s a human condition thing. That’s what so amazing about this song.

Take off down this rabbit hole you'll love it!!!

Beautifully connects with the soul & human spirit across generations doesn't it! Above backgrounds, borders, & oceans. Living proof, you must hope & prosper, rise above challenges. Fire in the belly, is a wonderful thing. To be that talented, and have that humanity and awareness is rare. Greetings from UK.

"Don't die with your music still in you." This is one of my favorite quotes, by Wayne Dyer. Ren's music is the power of song and his story as told through it. I agree that he's a true artist, a once-in-a-lifetime artist IMO. But each of us has "music" to share, something we specifically have to offer others and the world. This, what you're doing here, is your music. Thank you for sharing it. You're helping people. And seeing people like you being positive influences for others, gives me hope for the world. "I swear to God." "On my mama!" Lol

Great reaction! I'm glad you watched this, brother. I don't know what you're going through, but I'll pray for you man. Sounds like you're on the right path, though. Stay strong, bro!

For anyone who isn't aware, Ren is releasing a new song in 2 days. Looking forward to it!

So glad you got onto Ren, Chalk Outlines is a good one by him and Chinchilla, made me cry many times Ren has, the rabbit hole is deep and is so so worth it. I hope you're OK, life isn't easy at times and I'm pretty sure most people are affected in one way or another I know I am, life has been cruel to me at times too. Much love to you guys ❤❤

Our society still hasn't accepted the fact that it's ok to not be ok. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help, and even more to talk about it publically. I think that's why this performance resonates. So many people have been able to use it as an opening to the conversation. I'm glad you're taking care of yourself.

Thanks for doing this one! Can’t wait for you do explore more of Ren’s music. Tales of Jenny and Screech is hauntingly masterful. Welcome to Ren!!!

Glad you found Ren, need to continue down the Ren rabbit hole, amazing British artist who lives in my home town Brighton. Check out as much as you can, he does all genres of music. Sending peace and respect to you

Angelina Jordan. Golden buzzer winner with Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT at 13! She auditioned with Gloomy Sunday on NGT at 7 and won the show at 8! For a real treat check out her I Put A Spell On You, (black and white video) she just turned 9 two months before this recording!

My grandmother told me despite war, poverty, death, and so much more on the way to a great life she just had to remember to breathe. In-out-repeat, it is all you have to do. Hope loves you, it fights for you and your peace. Let it.

Really enjoyed your reaction and insight, and I'm glad you're finally on the Ren train. Wish all the best for you.

Wow Crystal is really in to this great music keeps it up 👍

Your reaction moved me: insightful and authentic - just subscribed. I hope you continue to explore Ren's art.

Bro be strong it’s all a mental game I’ve been suffering from all sorts of stuff since the age of 12 and still. Ren will help you as he has seen it all but expressed it within music the guy is so talented and a genius!

Hang in there. Take care of yourselves, and each other. ❤️

Recklezz, I think what you were trying to say is that you want to be an inspiration to others. And I am sure that you are. You are authentic and clearly care about others. Keep it up my brother. You two are a great team. 🧡

So glad you're finally reacting to Ren, hes amazing.

Please PLEASE do How To Be Me (LIVE VERSION) & Chalk Outlines ft Chinchilla if you wanna get in your feels. Chills everytime. Every song by Ren is so different and all 🔥🔥🔥

I call my meditation "Silencing the lambs." Lol. Sometimes it helps to rename things if you're woo-woo resistant! The practice itself, for a lot of us, is really about quieting our minds and calming our nervous systems. It feels like doing nothing at first, but honestly, after getting more into the habit of it, it's probably the most productive thing I do. Thank you for sharing your experiences. You're helping people in ways you don't even know. P.S. May is mental health month. Did you already know that and do this on purpose? If not, good timing!

It's good to talk about the good stuff and the bad. I completely understand, much love over the pond brother (London)👍❤

Your great man keep doing what your doing young king 💪🏾👑

Ren says writing and performing is his release, most of his songs are really deep and he has the abiilty to make a wide varity of people understand what he is saying about the world. I think you are really going to enjoy listening all of his songs.
