New Ren Music! | Worship Drummer Reacts to "Mackay" by Ren 

That’s a cool point.

@@teckreactions Disco Doc has done a nice in depth background story on this track and the death of Callum ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--tuFDe3xT5g.html

Happy to help 😊

It’s pretty good.

That was what i was thinking. Couldn't find the words though...you're right on point. Couldn't have said it any better..

Looking forward to it.

Cool

They work so beautifully together. Heartbreaking ❤️‍🔥

Looking forward to it.

You could add “How to be Me” to those three. 😘❤️✌️

Ditto here.

Music is a universal language.

My pleasure.

A beautiful piano movement in a beautiful setting which looks a great place for reflection. The interview I heard from Callums friend that was there - 4 of them went to the coastal cliffs with fishing rods at Cable Bay. Sadie I believe Callums gf was there too. Callum made a decision to go swimming in the sea and the sea was choppy and he struggled to get back another of Callums friends Lewis went in to rescue him. They both drowned Lewis having received a posthumous award for his bravery. So tragically two 22 year old young men lost their lives. The helicopter rescue recovered Lewis soon after but he had died. Callums body was recovered 5 days later. Other comments are made that imply that Callum went overboard from a boat. I know in the grand scheme of things he still lost his life but sadly Lewis did aswell RIP to both of them . Thank you for recognising the other friend of Callums 🎵🧡🔥👩‍🦰

So sad

@@user-qj5lc8bm2m yes Disco Doc Reacts has done an excellent respectful video about Callum.

Thank you 💙

Relentless. That's the one. For me, it's my 3 year old. When I gave birth to him and his older siblings, I used a coping technique that many women use: remember that I can endure anything for such a short duration as a contraction. That method is meaningless with grief. There's no pattern, or reason to when the waves hit, how hard they crash, or how long they'll wash over. And always - always - the pain returns with equally deep intensity as before. No matter how long we try, we cannot wait it out. This pain endures forever. I'm so sorry that you, too, have to live with this knowledge. ❤😢

@@sandiraymond1761 No, there’s no waiting it out. The only reliable relief I’ve found has been been maladaptive so far: good old dissociation, my childhood coping strategy. I try to be conscious of this and stay present, but I’m still losing so much time to it. At least the waves hit less often with time, but I don’t think they’ll ever be anything but all-consuming when they do arrive. I know it’s the deal implicit in loving that loss will follow, but it still seems profoundly shocking that we find ourselves here. I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a child, suicide loss, both likely very “complicated” I’m told. I think this is true. Both losses are so freaking offensive against the blithely secure folks amongst us for whom losing a child or a suicide in a relatively young spouse, father to school-aged children, is absolutely impossible and unthinkable. I get that it’s too horrifying to comfortably sit with these possibilities for those who don’t have to, but still I find the loneliness of being intentionally not seen fully by others anymore to be an unexpected heaping of insult to injury. I miss not knowing these things. I have to believe it will get longer and longer between waves for us both. Or that the edge is taken off by healing with time. Something has to give, surely. ❤️ 😔

I’m so sorry for your loss, friend 🙏🏻

​@@teckreactionsFire is the best Chili Peppers song not performed by RHCP. :) You can hear that John Frusciante is one of Ren's favourite guitarists.

Ahhh.

Oh man. I never played FF.

On it

Ha! Good one. Thanks for the kind words. I’m a drummer today, but I grew up performing in professional symphonies and orchestras as well as studied Music Education in college. All the theory speak comes from those roots. Thanks!

Feels very modal to me.

@@teckreactions the overall vibe, yes. Especially when he's walking those fifths (you were right) up and down. I'm not super familiar with modes, but I have an idea of what they can sound like.

@@aditsu actually, rewatching it, he’s walking sixths up and down. I didn’t catch that. Sixths or inverted thirds, however you want to say it. That lends more to modes. Here’s a good run down. www.learnjazzstandards.com/blog/what-are-modes-in-music/

​@@teckreactionsif you're talking about 3:49, those are fifths. He's playing A-E A-E G-D F-C E-B D-A E-B F-C E-B D-A C-G B-F A-E G-D A-E B-F etc Somehow my brain was registering the first A above the E so I thought it was fourths, but I looked at his keyboard and it's indeed fifths.

@@aditsu We're looking at two different places. I was looking at 2:35. He does switch to fifths at your time marker.

Will do
