Dude we all cry. I've seen this video probably 200 times in the last 2 weeks. It still hits me in the feels. I'm crying right now as a matter of fact. Show your feelings.
Dude… Yes to everything you just said. This song has definitely got me in my feels for sure! Hope all is well for you… 👍
@@bShawreacts hiya! So.... freakin random.... but, my sister was going to need a transplant, and it did not go trough....but, I'm ready. So, if you need a piece of liver..
@@bShawreacts the contribution of the Welsh influence here on Merseyside has often been overlooked, despite the FAB4 having Irish roots, John Lennon reputedly was descended from Owain Glyndwr, peace and love..E..❤❤
I'm not crying... my eyes are sweating. It's all those ocular crunches I've been doing, trying to get those six pack oc's. Yep... that's my story and I'm stickin to it!
Ya man… this def hits a lot of us who’ve been through it pretty hard (whatever “it” may be).
This is THE most powerful song I have ever heard in my 46 years, hands down.
Completely agree!
Sorry to hear you’re going through it right now. And so sorry to hear at the beginning of the vid that you recently lost your pup. That’s one of the toughest things. I hope you hang in there. You genuinely seem like a great guy with a good heart and I wish the best for you.
Thank you so much! Means the world! 👍
@@bShawreacts echo that sentiment too...😊
@@eamonnclabby7067 Thank you!
@@bShawreacts 😊
@@bShawreacts We are all here for ya brother! May not know us in person, but we all feel like we know you man so know we a rooting for good things for you, keep being the best you man.
This is true. Ren was attending music school, and under contract with Sony records. He started getting sick and sleeping up to 20 hours a day, Sony dropped him, and the doctors kept telling him the pain etc was in his head. They treated him as a with all kinds on meds. After over seven years, a doctor in Wales discovered he was suffering from lyme disease. He came to the US for stem cell treatment, and is now in Canada under going more treatment for issues caused by all the meds he was given that destroyed nerve sheaths in his brain.
Ren is a modern musical and story telling genius. Some people react very emotionally, and others are just speechless.
You should react to his trilogy of Jenny and Screech
Thanks for your reaction.
I’m completely blown away right now. Makes my struggle seem trivial but I feel we are each carrying our own burden. It’s what we do with our lives that counts for me, not so much about how long we will live. Poor guy…. I hope he is feeling better and will soon be able to get past his struggles. Thank you for the information on Ren. Hope all is well for you also…👍
@@bShawreacts nothing trivial ,you are valued , my daughter is keeping going too, plodding on is what we do..❤❤
A slight correction: A doctor in Belgium, not Wales, diagnosed his Lyme disease.
@@Colleen998 Yea, my error. He is from Wales not diagnosed there.
@@bShawreacts At least we can share our burdens with each other through artistry like Ren's, he's connecting so many of us. Takes a special person to do that. i'm so sorry for your loss as well, it's hell losing a beloved pet, they're family.
Ren is a voice for those who are suffering from chronic illness. He sings about his pains & mental illnesses. I felt your tears & sending you positive vibes.
Thank you so much. 👍
I felt them too. I cried right alongside with you. Stay strong and keep listening to music..thats what I do..😊
I thought you were going to bail at more than one point, but you stuck with it and as a result we all got to witness one of the most raw, honest reactions out there to this genius creation - and I've watched a LOT of them. Between your health problems and the loss of your pup, you're obviously going through a lot right now, but you just showed us all how strong you can be, so keep going, brother! Much love from the UK.
Thank you my friend. Means a lot for sure! 👍
@@bShawreacts Yes, One of the most honest raw reactions to this song on RUclips. It's therapeutic for anybody that watches but especially for those that have louder voices and issues talking in their head. We all have them.
Perfectly said!
Spot on reply, this guy had me in tears. I hope he finds strength in REN’s message.
I'm a 50 yr old man and Ren has made me cry more in the last 2 months than I have in 20 yrs. But his music has also made me feel more hope and self acceptance than I have in a long, long time. Let him wash over you, it's worth the ride.
Perfect, just perfect. big hug for you from me.🇦🇺 (53 yr old Mum to a 17yr old). Ren is an absolute gift to humanity (A Messiah, an Angel, two words I think of when I think of Ren, I love him like a brother)❤
Thank you!
Other than my age (66 vs. 50), 100% the same journey for me. What a blessing he is, as is the community that we are all now a part of through him. I call it “Ren’s Island of Misfit Toys”. Great reaction - one of many, many I have watched since I first stumbled across this via @TheCharismaticVoice and her also great and moving reaction. You captured so many of the emotions I felt during my first watching. Recapturing those first emotions is why I suspect most of us constantly make the rounds of his reaction videos (as well as daily visits back to the content and sharing it widely). Welcome to the @RenMakesMusic Rabbithole - dozens of brilliant, diverse, powerful, beautiful, jarring, amazing, sad, funny works of art. Peace and many days of light to you, @bShawreacts
Do you know why we all watch reaction videos? At least for me, it's the fact that I can only experience a song for the first time, once....but reaction videos let me re-experience others first time with that same song. Your reaction to this emotional song hit the nail on the head. I appreciate your willingness to share that with us all.
Thank you!
You put so concisely what I rambled on about. I hope I can just add a heartfelt "ditto"!
100% this. This is exactly how I explained it to another person when they were curious why someone would watch reaction videos. Especially with this song it’s that living vicariously through others hearing it for the first time. Blew me away the first time I heard it. Cried for an hour and watched countless times
I’m 50yo now, and I’ve been doing reactions way before reactions were a thing. Since I was a kid, I remember introducing movies to friends on HBO and VHS, sitting near them, loving the classics with new eyes as I tried not to on-the-nose telegraph my excitement for pivotal scenes/dialogue hits… and indeed trying not to be noticed that I was *clearly* vicariously re-introducing myself through their eyes by watching👀 their physical/emotional reactions… reliving the impactful beauty of the art.
I love to see the comments in Ren reactions. So full of compassion, empathy and humanity.
I completely agree! 👍
@@bShawreactsThe Ren fan community shows so much love and support to each other. Hope you can feel it coming your way!
I've watched more reactions to this song than I can count and that's one of the purest most honest reactions I've seen.
Evidently a tough task but one you stuck to. Please be proud and empowered that you made it through.
Rens struggles are well documented and very real.
This.... Art.,shines a light on the struggles many face from nagging doubts to far harsher things and that some form of acceptance will ultimately see us through.
We are human beings,
New sub
Thank you so very much for the kind words. I honestly thought not to post this reaction but I promised myself to always be genuine and honest, especially when it comes to emotions. The more I tried to push them down and never speak about my “struggle” the more it hurt. It’s tough. We are told as Men that we have to be strong and not be afraid to do what has to be done. I agree with that statement. I’m also a firm believer that it’s okay to struggle and feel tired. As you and Ren both have said… I am only human. I hope all is well for you! 👍
@@bShawreacts ❤
@@bShawreacts Stay strong brother
@@bShawreacts❤
Genuine emotion, don’t ever be afraid to show it brother. Ren’s music has a way of drawing it out and trust me, his fans appreciate when we see it connect to people for the first time. This is quite the rabbit hole as he is limitless in his musical and creative talents, he’s basically a genre chameleon and it is shocking just how good he is at everything. Also check out his former band(hopefully temporarily) The Big Push, it’s WELL worth it.
Thank you for the kind words. It is so incredibly inspiring to see so many people who care. It’s humbling… honestly. Hope all is well for you! 👍
I seriously need an app to keep count of how many Ren videos I have watched and how many reactions to this I have seen. This song broke me the first time I heard it and the more I listened to it the more layers I found. I have cried and stood and cheered analyzed every part of this song and excitedly watched others react to this.
But you sir brought me back to that first time.
Your heart felt and deeply honest reaction to this made me cry right along with you. I am so sorry about your loss and perhaps this may not have been the best time to experience this. Or perhaps it was the perfect time? Either way I quickly and enthusiastically subbed, liked and told my circle to watch this reaction in particular.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR VULNERABILITY. and for sharing this masterpiece with your circle.
Thank you! Means the world to me… truly it does. I hope you are doing well my friend…
I could not agree more and it’s stunning how many people have had similar experiences upon finding his music. It’s quite a phenomenon
Reading your comment….i could feel what you felt. I could feel what he felt. I cried for the first time in about the last 50 of the 200 times I watched. Sir, your emotions….THANK YOU. More than you will ever know. Both of you. For the comment writer but especially bShaw. Your reaction was what thousands NEEDED to hear and see. The last year, This song and the comments and Ren and reactors, have showed me I’m not alone. But you two, I am you, you are me. We are one, Can’t you see.
I just needed this.
We must remember, we are only human beings, and we can only live in the moment Day by day. Trying to be as grateful as humanly possible. Moving forward. We have got this!!
We must remember,
Our Ren "community" rallies around him; wishing for him that he recovers well. I hope you find continued strength and comfort to fight your illness.
Thank you! Means the world to me…. Honestly. 👍
Seen 200 Reactions to this masterpiece and for what its worth yours tops the list. So sorry to hear about the appalling health problems you've been enduring at such a young age. So young that the medical tech (stem cells, etc...) could yet roll in for you. No question life can be total bitch but IMO works of art like this and honest reactions such as yours speak to our higher nature. So all best wishes and hang in there.
Thank you so much for the kind words. Truly means a lot! I’m trying to keep the faith and be strong it’s just tough sometimes ya know? Thank you for checking out the reaction and the support you have given! Hope all is going well for you! Take care my friend… 👍
We are junkies I lost count myself 😢
@@steinsway10 who’s counting? 😜
@@bShawreacts thoughts and prayers to you...❤❤😊😊
I am so glad you shared this reaction. And please don’t ever apologize for showing your emotions. Too often we put on a brave face, rather than allow ourselves to process the pain we feel.
I’ve watched countless reactions to Hi Ren and it resonates deeply with people of all ages and backgrounds. That’s the power of music and art like this that comes from deep within an artist’s soul.
As others have commented, yes, this was a live recording and it represents a real internal struggle triggered by undiagnosed/misdiagnosed Lyme disease and periods of psychosis. He lost most of his 20s and Sony dropped him from the label when he got sick. But he’s a fighter and he is making waves as an independent artist.
Ren posted vlogs documenting the various stages of his illness and one that I watched recently was only 6 years into his battle - before he was diagnosed with Lyme disease - and he said that the one blessing was that his experience gave him empathy. And as you noted, it gave him tremendous wisdom, well beyond his years.
He is using his tremendous gifts and his heartbreaking struggles to help others and share a message of hope. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything as powerful as the closing monologue. The imagery of a pendulum and our dance between the dark and the light will stick with me always. I hope that it gives you something to make your own medical and mental health journey more bearable.
The Ren rabbit hole is filled with many gems 💎 from a broad range of styles. And as you can see, the Ren community (RENegades) is incredibly supportive. I’ve subscribed and hope you will react to more Ren. Be kind to yourself 🥰
Thank you. Your words are beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing with me! 👍
❤
A very compassionate and well written post, thank you for sharing this, Elizabeth..😊
This is the most vulnerable and genuine reaction so far.. and I have seen dozens of Hi ren reactions. Thank you man. BE STRONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you my friend. I’m trying with all that I have!
This song hit me just like it hit you and I also cried. When you face difficulty and hear something so powerful as this, you get it. I’m so glad you did this reaction and showed your vulnerability. That is what true bravery is. ❤
Thank you… I almost didn’t post it but I am not ashamed of emotions. I just really didn’t want it to come across in the wrong way when I spoke to my health. This song is just so real I couldn’t help but share. Thank you again for watching and commenting. Means a lot… honestly! Hope all is well for you! 👍
Just a heads up, Ren actually publicly said you don't need to distort audio at all to react to his music, if the video gets copyright claimed, just dispute it & he says it'll fix automatically from there. Ren actually LOVES the support he gets from the reaction community of RUclips
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this with me! 👍
Proud of you for making it through brother. Ren can put you through a ringer, but the message of hope is there. It's tough, but it's cathartic. Wishing you better health & less struggles.
Thank you!
Thanks for your bravery, man. Your video will speak to many. It feels like it adds yet another layer to Ren's piece. Wish I could just get over to wherever you are and give you a big hug.
Thank you so much! I’ll just think of it as a “virtual hug”! That was a tough one for sure! Hope all is well on your end of things…👍
A rare talent from the land of song...a one off❤❤
That was very brave of you. You faced the pain head on which is exactly what Ren is asking us to do. Well done!
Thank you! 👍
Aww peace friend. Have been living with lupus since 2004 and understand doing everything you can to survive the micromoment just to get on to the next one. Ren has helped me to face and think on things that are so deeply buried and are quite frankly terrifying on a level that I cannot really put into words, I just don't know how. Being able to relate to relate on a human level in this way is something I didn't know was possible. Whether Ren's artistry brings a modicum of relief or a moment of utter clarity, he will move you and make you think. Appreciate your reaction and hope you gain some peace and contentment. Peace #Renolution
This song completely changes everything for me. I feel every ounce of what you just explained. I know what I want to say just don’t have the words to express my feelings. It’s tough. The positive is that we are never truly “Alone”. There is always someone who can relate to what we are going through and it is comforting for me to be reminded of that. Didn’t expect that reminder today while checking out Ren for the first time but I am so very grateful. I hope and wish that all is well on your end and that we can all continue to move forward through the kindness and love of others. Which is exactly what you just did… I felt it. Honestly. Thank you. Means the world to me for sure. Take care and know you made my day! 👍
@@bShawreacts Best wishes my friend. I hope Ren helps you with your dance. He's taught me to start learning how to dance instead of fighting. It has been a valuable lesson. Stay strong. Remember, those dark shadows only exist cos there is a bright light around the corner.
I lost my dog of 17 years last Thursday. She was dying but I still wasn’t ready to let her go. I still cry into her blanket. I’ve had leukemia for four years, and the nausea, etc… is devastating. Ren has Lyme disease, so he really understands. You are okay even though you aren’t.
I’m so sorry to hear about your pup. We weren’t ready either but it was time. He was suffering. I’m still heartbroken. He was literally like son to me for 12 years! So hard to say goodbye but I know he isn’t suffering. I’ll be praying for you and that you can find the strength to keep going! 👍
@@bShawreacts nutha hug for you❤
Ren Erin Gill is a British musician/independent artist; born in Wales on March 29, 1990; he eventually moved to Brighton. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, Ren began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. In 2010, he was signed by Sony Records and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue and subsequently dropped by Sony.
Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led him to experience psychosis and develop PTSD. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure.
Ren is currently in Calgary, Canada for more treatments, including surgeries, and will have to be there for at least six months (Summer of 2023) undergoing IV and other interventions five days a week. Ren recently underwent wisdom tooth removal and cavitation surgery. In addition, his Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD), which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, adrenals as well as his bones/joints. Now, Ren is receiving additional treatments for this previously undiagnosed condition.
I hope that Ren’s music brings you some comfort and helps you come to terms with whatever parts of yourself you’re fighting right now ❤
Thank you so very much! His music is incredible and has already opened my mind! Sorry I was so all over the place with emotions in this reaction. It just hit me in the feels… hope all is well for you also! 👍
Both of you are marvellous for sharing...❤❤
Welcome to the Renaissance. Ren is by far the most humble, genuine, raw, extremely gifted artist I have come across in a very long time. He is a gift to us all. And for those of us who are chronically ill he exposes our realities to the masses and there is comfort there. It is rare that an artist comes along and is able to touch one’s soul but he does. He has a song for every mood and a style for everybody. He is incredibly well read and often pays homage to other artists that have inspired him. He is unafraid of speaking truth to power or tackling the grittier sides of life but without being exploitative in the process. Thank you for your reaction. It was honest and genuine. Sorry to hear that you are suffering. There are many of us in similar situations. Know that we are out here if you ever need support or simply need a place to let your guard down. We understand the battle. I wish you peace.
Sharing your road with you, we made it over the hurdles and came through fire to be here today, stronger than ever. Kudo's to you, I don;t know your journey, but can see by what you wrote you have your own tales to tell. Keep on keeping on. Life IS a gift.
Thank you!
From a fellow "viking" 😉 brother from Sweden with alot of the health issues you talked about and also Ren's. I knew what you got into and could just hope for you to get through it. And you did. Now just keep on fighting. With a little bit of help from Ren, and knowing not being alone in this. 👊
Thank you so much for this comment my friend! 👍
This is the song that everyone didn't know they needed.
There has not been one person that I have seen react to this that didn't breakdown and weep or sit in sheer awe.
I've seen this quite a few times and I still tear up. I'm thankful that I did not have the camera on me when I first seen/heard this.
I melted down. I have not been the same since.
In a beautiful way.
I hope peace finds you my friend.
Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤
Thank you!
As a certain fellow scouser was wont to say ( Richard Starkey aka Ringo Starr) ...peace and love..E.😊
@@bShawreacts ❤Youre welcome
Same sister, I feel the exact same, life is changed forever, in a good way. Music is my passion and #Ren has given me hope for the next generation. That there is still incredible music we have yet to hear. It's infinite, thankfully. Peace and love to you.
PS my first thought as tears rolled down my face when I first heard this was just one word, all I could think of...PROFOUND, and I haven't stopped sharing Ren's amazing back catalogue, and playing #Ren #TheBigPush #SamTomkins on a loop.
World needs #Ren so badly right now. Like we've been sent an Angel, it truly is.
@@zed4225 I hear what you're saying for sure and I totally agree with you. I've been sharing as well in hopes the people I love around me would feel it too. I feel as you do about Ren.
I believe he is an angel too.
Whole heartedly!
Be well friend.❤
Thank you for sharing you reaction , one of the most pure, genuine and honest reactions ive seen in the last 3 months . Rens lyrics will stick in you head for a long time ...stay strong
Thank you! You are so right! Hit me extremely hard! Hope all is well for you! 👍
Ren's community has your back ❤ 1.1k views in a matter of 3hrs.
Ren is 100% wise beyond his years. And this song has brought so many people together, and has helped many people too.
I have a close friend that is very ill... She doesnt know how long she has left. She has been secluding herself, its a dark place to be. 😔
But you're looking great man! Anyone that has a heart cries sometimes. And those who dont, are just eating themselves up inside. Its good to release sometimes. I wish you all the luck and the best ❤😊
So very sorry to hear about your friend. I secluded myself from it all about 5 years ago and it nearly destroyed me. I have found that being completely and wholeheartedly honest with those who want to help is the only way I can pull through this struggle. I hope the entire world gets a chance to experience this song at least once! Hope all is well for you… 👍
@@bShawreacts Thank you! So glad you crawled out of that seclusion somehow ❤️ and yes, I wish everyone would hear it at least once!!
I’ve watched more reactions to this video than I can count. Yours is sincere and exceptionally done.
Thank you….
I've seen a lot of reactions to Hi Ren, and I think I'm addicted to watching them because each one peals away another layer of this onion of a masterpiece of music. This reaction video, however, reached deeper than any I have seen before. Thank you for sharing your honesty and vulnerability with us. BShaw, I wish you the best.
Thank you!
Well done. You made it through Ren's 's journey from one end of his personal hell to the other. The fact that you never gave up means you can now enjoy more of Ren's music which is quite extensive especially when we include several collaborations and his busking street band, The Great Push. Many of Ren's fans have struggles of their own to contend with and Ren performs for us all, transforming our pain into art. Every one of his performances are unique and surprising. We never know where Ren will take us.
Thank you for this reaction. I am going through some stuff too and it was the same reaction for me - " i am not sure i need this right now". Turns out Ren is exactly what i needed. A voice i do not have and who managed to start a wave of empathy among so many people. Please do not apologise for being emotional-we all cry. I hope his music and this community can bring you a bit of comfort and joy. Feel yourself hugged ❤
Thank you so much! 👍
He did this LIVE. Took 4 attempts and he went with the best take 💥👏. Dig deep into his catalogue. He is top tier in all genres BELIEVE ME 🍯🤌🎶🎵🙏
I am about 40000 watches into Ren and I cry 80% of the time, his messages hit, he gets everyone in the feels. I have zero mental health issues and life is great, but we are all human.
Hello, I to have watched so many reactions to this but yours is one of the most honest and heartfelt. There is something about Ren that brings people together no matter what their experience of life. He is magical in his ability to touch our hearts and make us cry or laugh out loud alongside him. If you venture down the Ren rabbit hole you might be changed but you'll never regret it. Sending best wishes from the UK.
Here is some additional information on Ren's story that I gathered from old newspaper interviews, articles, and Ren's livestreams and posts where he discussed his condition. Ren Erin Gill is a British musician/independent artist; born in Wales on March 29, 1990; he eventually moved to Brighton. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, Ren began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures.

Now, Ren is receiving additional treatments for this previously undiagnosed condition.
Let's keep supporting Ren as he undergoes his treatments. Check out and subscribe to his channel, if you are a content creator, ask your audience to subscribe to Ren. Listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to the world, and his work is important in these troubling times. Someone has finally created a Wikipedia page for Ren, so there is additional information available.
Here is the link to Ren’s GoFundMe page to raise money for his current treatment. Ren has exceeded his initial goal. However, his goal was very conservative and did not reflect the added costs of unforeseen surgical procedures, and treatment for additional health issues such as MCAD. www.gofundme.com/f/ren-get-better-from-lyme-disease-and-autoimmunity
Consider it done! I’ll do anything I can to help out Ren as he goes through this. Wow… what a talented and inspiring young man he is. 👍
@@bShawreacts Thank you for your kindness and generosity. For what it's worth, I have added you to my daily prayers my friend. I am truly sorry to hear about your health struggles.
@@bShawreacts Ask and we will help❤❤
@@JensRandolff You are welcome my friend. I was asked by many to start a Gofundmepage so I did (even though truthfully it is so hard to ask for help like that to me). Here is the link gofund.me/b2b8c2cd If you can find some time to share it and read the information on the page it will better describe my health situation as well. I’m really just trying to spread awareness about the importance of taking care of your liver as it contributes to more than 500 things to your body. That is so much more important to me than anything else honestly. Most people (myself included) don’t realize how important the liver is until it’s too late to reverse the effects of damaging it. I didn’t personally do anything to damage my liver (just unlucky genes in my family) but I hope you understand what I’m trying to say and do by sharing my experience. Thank you for spreading the love and support for Ren my friend… the messages has been received by so many! Much love and respect to you and everyone who has/is helping him. He deserves every little bit of it with all he has gone through. Also, I hope you got the chance to see my latest reaction video to Chalk Outlines… literally my new favorite song! 💙
@@JensRandolff thank you 🙏 same to to my friend 💙
Thank you. For your vulnerability , for your empathy, for your emotion. I appreciate you and your reaction so much!
Thank you! Right back at you my friend!
That is the most beautiful reaction to Hi Ren that I’ve seen and I’ve seen almost all of them. Good on you for sharing your honest emotions and struggles. Hang tough. And thank you so much for letting me see this masterpiece freshly through your eyes as if I was seeing for the first time. Welcome to the RENaissance.
Thank you! Whew, that was a tough one! 👍
My heart goes out to you because you touched mine. This masterpiece is almost a gift to humanity because it has an ability to unlock the doors that protect our deepest emotions. Beautiful to see this gift from you. Thank you 👊
Thank you…
Been touched by performance art many times, even many Broadway shows with many of the greats performing at the top of their craft, but I never had quite the religious experience of watching Hi Ren for the first time. Thanks for the wonderful reaction. Wish you the very best in getting your health issues managed.
Thank you!
I’m surprised that a few people haven’t cried in their reaction videos. Ren is remarkable.
I'm so sorry about the loss of your pup. That's one of the hardest things in the world.
Thank you for sharing your raw reaction. I still break down while watching this, and I've seen it more times than I can remember. At first, my tears are of pain and sadness. At the end, though, when the vocalizations from the beginning are repeated but in defiance and triumph, when he's dancing with that guitar, they are tears of joy.
I wish you the best in your ongoing treatment. I also hope you find some peace.
Thank you!
Best reaction I’ve seen this far, and I’ve watched a ton! I appreciate your raw emotions and allowing them to guide you through this experience. It was moving. I’ve watched this sooo many times and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon. The fact that he leaves us with light is so refreshing. I’m so sorry that you are having to fight so much darkness but I hope you have more days of light than dark in your future. Remember to always dance softly with the dark and accept that it is there and continue towards the light. Thank you for having the courage to make this reaction. I appreciate you and you’re amazing.
Thank you so much! It definitely gets tough at times but things like this make it at the very least bearable! Hope you are well! 👍
I've seen literally every reaction to this song. This one is in my top twenty. Sitting here crying with you. Glad this found you.
Sorry to hear you're struggling. Keep fighting and holding on to hope. Remember what matters. I wish you the best and I believe in you.
Welcome to the catalog of a brilliant man. Make sure to see Chalk Outlines (live) w/Chinchilla as well as The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full) when you start digging in. Any that you react to, I'll be here. Liked and subbed.
Thank you so very much. Means a lot to me when people share their thoughts with me! Hope all is going well for you! 👍
The most authentic, genuine and heartfelt reaction to Hi Ren that I have seen and I have watched a lot of them. Thank you for posting this 🙏
Thank you so much!
we are conected man - REN did that - go watch and listen to other stuff of him - he is a soulful healer on so many levels.
I plan to do exactly that! Thanks for taking time to respond and watch the reaction! Means a lot… hope all is going well for you! 👍
Glad you got this responsive experience. Seems like finding Ren and checking out his story might help with you and your story.
The Ren journey is going to help you in so many ways!! Be strong and keep playing!
Hey mate. All power to you for pushing through this impactful video. Your very human reaction to our daily hurt and pain speaks to us all. Thank you for being you and putting this out. Showing your vulnerability like this is a very Ren thing to do. You’ll get a lot of love from the Ren community. Know that we are on your side and wish you well in your daily struggle.
😢. Thank you so much. That is so kind of you! 👍
Thank you for this heartfelt reaction. I'm sorry for what you're going through - somehow this song found you at the right moment. Take care of yourself brother.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing, this video gets me every time...especially how it effects other people. This is a masterpiece at the Shakespeare level. And talent is beyond what passes for great music today. But then this is music today. So lucky to have heard it. I hope your health improves and you stay strong through your music.
Thank you!
Man, this thing is so powerful. Calling it a song feels disrespectful, it is an absolute masterpiece in all areas, music, theatrics, poetry, exploring how fragile the mind is and how we battle against ourselves. Nothing wrong about crying to this beautiful piece or art that reaches the deepest parts of us. As a failed musician, there are parts that resonate so hard with me on how I wanted to change the world with my music, but I was never able to break into the industry and life took me on a different career path. Also having battled with depression and a lot of internal conflict against my negative side, it just moves me beyond words.
Well you had me in tears too. So sorry to hear about your dog and your liver problems. You and Ren are in a very relatable situation to each other. I hope for both of you that you will get what you need to restore your health. May there be brighter days ahead, all the best.
Thank you so much. It’s been a tough journey for sure but as you said I am trying to focus on the brighter days ahead! Hope I didn’t ruin the reaction with all the blubbering I was doing. This hit me in the feels extremely hard and I was doing my best to hold it together! Thank you for taking the time to watch and commenting. All the best! 👍
@@bShawreacts Your reaction was raw and honest and that is a beautiful thing.
You gotta hold on brother. No matter what we cant go down without a fight. You GOT THIS. You hear me? If its one message that Ren wants to put out through this song is that no matter how difficult the cicurmstances you never bow to your demons and you always keep your head up high. You're strong I know it. I believe in you and I know you've got this.
Thank you!
You showed some heart here sir. No matter how you may look back on it, you went through it. You did not run away even though you struggled from the start. Respect, utmost reapect because this is what it’s all about.
It was tough for sure. It captured me from the first second of the song. So incredibly talented. Hope you are doing well! 👍
@@bShawreacts I understand, i felt the same way.. not doing ok,but I’m not alone im that regard..
I've watched hi ren 50 odd times so far and it hit me every time.
We are all vulnerable and this song is like a depression detector. It reveals your feelings and starts the healing in under 10 minutes.
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your reaction to this piece of art and your story and personal health problems. I echo the sentiments of others when I say that yours was one of best reactions I've seen. I hope that you are ok and that you continue doing more Ren reactions (or the Big Push, the band that Ren was a part of until recently). I have found his music, his messages, and the community that has built up around him, to be a valuable source of strength over the last month since I discovered him and I hope that you find the same. ❤
Thank you so much! This song is incredible and definitely hit me in the feels! 👍
“But my music is really connecting”… It always feels so soothing to share the emotions, and I was crying with you through all of it. Thank you for your heartfelt and honest reaction!
Thank you for going on the journey with me as I experienced Ren for the first time! So incredibly inspiring! Hope you are doing well! Take care my friend…
Just like everyone else I’ve been caught in the rabbit hole of Ren and Ren reactions. I really really appreciated your reaction. Everytime you stopped and struggled I’m telling my TV, keep going and get to the Hope and you’ll be okay. First time viewer and I’m glad I found you brother!
Thank you. It was a struggle to get through… very rare of me to back down from a struggle but this reaction almost got me! I’m so glad I didn’t stop. Wanted to but didn’t. Thank you for the kind words my friend. Means more than you could possibly know! 👍
7:38 the moment a new Renegade was born ❤️ So sorry to hear you've been going through it, here's a big virtual hug 🥰 You've stumbled into the right place at the right time it seems! Read the descriptions on his videos, here gives more info. Ren has helped so many of us going through it. This is the best community, so much love here. I'm excited to watch your journey down the rabbit hole! I think "how to be me" and "chalk outlines" should be next for you. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! It is incredibly touching to know there are so many people out there who are willing to share and support anyone who may need. Your absolutely correct also… I am definitely a Renegade now… can’t wait to see what else Ren has to share with us! Hope you are doing well… 👍
@@bShawreacts ❤️❤️❤️
@@bShawreacts 🙌🫶😊
Ive seen so many reaction vids to this in the last few months and this one got me double. Ren is phenomenal and you should definitely check out more Ren, and his band the big push. Also i am sorry you are going through so much with youre health, you seem like youre a genuine nice guy , dont woery about showing emotion, we all did it with this. Great reaction, got my sub. Take care and hugs to you❤
Thank you! Means so much!!! Truly… take care my friend.
Be and stay strong brother, life is tough indeed! We all have our struggles and our demons to cope with but the course of life is like a pendulum, we just need to try to relax, to soften, so the dance go easer and enjoy the good that comes from it. Respect from an Italian living in France touched from your reaction.💪
PS: Would like to say more but my English is kind of limited.
Your English is great! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me and I hope all is well for you! 👍
Great reaction dude. This kinda mirrored my own reaction when seeing this the first time. Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole, it's tough but it's given me so much hope. I won't go into all the details but the struggle is real. This hits hard with people that can relate.
So true! Thank you! Stay strong my friend! 👍
Sorry for your struggles. You were saying "I don't know if I'm going to make it to the end" and I'm so glad you did so you could get the positive message. This work of art gets me almost every time and I've watched it many times. We ALL feel this to one degree or another - as he says, "we are human beings". Oddly, it seems to hit the older guys (like me) harder than some of the younger reactors I've seen. I guess the longer you live, the more chance of having the pendulum swing very far to the dark side. I genuinely hope you get to see it swing to the light side again.
I think Ren's 33 now and others have listed his very real medical/psychiatric battles since he was a teenager, so yes, about half his life. Also yes, this is essentially a live recording, but I think they edited in some of the close-ups.
Thank you … 👍 Seems you are correct. The longer I live, the harder it gets. I guess that can be said for almost everyone. Thank you so much for taking time to watch and for sharing your thoughts in the comments. Means the world to me my friend. It truly does! Hope you are well! 👍
Sorry to hear about your health problems. Glad you found Ren…he’s becoming a true global voice and advocate for awareness and building community. Cheers, and all the best.
Ren definitely has the musical skills. The song is his reaction to years of misdiagnosed and mistreated health issues which eventually turned out to be Lyme Disease.
Come along for the ride. His back catalog is amazing. This song is part of an album recorded last year he is producing & releasing song by song while undergoing further treatment overseas.
I’ve watched so many reactors and learned so much from people with different skill sets and histories and backgrounds.
Oh wow… that makes perfect sense now. That’s tough… hope he is doing okay! He seems to be extremely tough to be going through it all yet find the strength to share his story through music with the world. I definitely should’ve reacted to this sooner. Honestly, I’m just blown away by the message and artistry and don’t know why I’m just hearing about Ren! Hope all is well for you and thank you for sharing with me… 👍
You ask if it’s true. Pretty much. His descriptions and timings have sone poetic license. A guy name Jens will likely be along pretty soon to post a well written bio of Ren, so if you don’t want to look it up Jens has got your back.
I subscribed, see you next time.
@@bShawreacts Ren's song Power explains how music is how he deals with it all. At times the inflammation in his brain stops his ability to create, and those are his darkest days...
First time here... NEVER feel guilty about any reaction as a REACTOR!! Good or bad, indifferent or crying your eyes out, people that watch you respond to honesty in reactors first and foremost! Stay well.
Thank you! Means so much to me! Take care my friend!
I appreciate your honesty and courage to share some of your own story, and I can empathize with you. I am 57 y/o, a totally and permanently disabled veteran who has been suffering from Chronic Multisymptom Illness (Gulf War Illness) for nearly 30 years. I have been dealing with mental health issues (Major Clinical Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and Unspecified Mood Disorder) in addition to various chronic physical issues. My mental health cost me a successful military career, a marriage, and friendships to the point that I have become a total recluse for the past 13 years. Very rarely do I interact with others outside of the occasional social media (RUclips, Twitter) post. My condition was brought on by prolonged exposure to low-dose sarin nerve gas and experimental vaccines and meds during the Gulf War. A few years later, the now black-boxed use of the anti-malarial "Mefloquine" pushed me over the edge, and I experienced a psychotic episode. For over 15 years, I was prescribed a cocktail of max doses of psychotropics until I decided to carefully wean myself off all medications in 2014. The side effects of the drugs were too many and too severe, left me an emotional zombie and the benefits were negligible. I struggle with my mental health, as well as physical symptoms, daily, but I rather feel pain than nothing at all. Ren has been able to express through his songs what I have been unsuccessfully trying to communicate to others regarding my mental, emotional, and physical struggles. Each new day, I wholly rely on God for my strength and remind myself that I am doing better than I deserve; without Him, I would have "checked out" a long time ago.
Wow. First, Thank you for your service. Second, you are obviously a tough son of a gun to go through all of that and still be here to help support Ren and other people who are suffering by sharing your story. It’s not easy to get through each and every day. I had a psychotic episode in September because my ammonia levels were elevated and I completely checked out for 4 days. No recollection of anything I did. The Dr. Finally put me into a medically induced coma as I was a danger to myself and anyone around me. They had to get the levels of ammonia corrected until they finally woke me up. One of the many occasions of when my illnesses have gotten the better of me. I pray that in some way there is a way for you to find peace as we go through this journey of life. Thanks again and I will continue to send healing vibes! 👍
@@bShawreacts My friend, I am no tougher than you. We have our struggles and do what we can to get through every day as best as possible. Again, I will keep you in my prayers. God bless you.
Bless you. Thanks for sharing. What a wonderful community Ren has created.
I am so glad you are still here, Jens! I think Ren was sent by God for us all. And man I can relate to the psych meds; they are brutal and impossible to get off of.
@@jennymeyers1890 Thank you for your kind words. Psychotropics are indeed difficult to get off of, but not impossible. One has to be smart about it. At one point in time I just quit cold turkey and consequently ended up in handcuffs in the back of a police cruiser, being taken to a psych ward. I learned my lesson and 5 years later very slowly weaned myself off of psych meds and have never again taken any pharmaceuticals of any kind; not even aspirin. God bless you.
I'm glad you didn't bail on this one, because Ren's music touches a lot of people who need it. And it helps us find each other and lift each other. I'm sorry you're going through it, but it helps to know so many others can emphasise and maybe lessen our burden. I'll see you on more reactions - hopefully more Ren (he's going to blow your mind, it'll be great to share him with you). And shout out to the Ren army. Such a loving crowd,
Back atcha #Binary Bad, love n peace to you and yours❣🤜🏼🤛🏼
Thank you! I almost didn’t post this reaction because I was such an emotional wreck and didn’t want to ruin the experience of what is Ren for everyone. After some thought I asked myself why hide it? Would Ren hide it? No… so neither will I. I must say I am so incredibly grateful that I did share. You guys are so amazing with all of the love and support being given to me… just some random guy on the internet. It’s mind blowing! Hope all is well!
Welcome to the rabbit hole of Ren - where we all fall into and learn more about him and ourselves and about human nature in general. Ren tackles personal and social issues in his lyrics and puts us all in a contemplative state with each line and song he delivers. As he once said in one of his short videos vs. CNN - there are social and mental issues that get swept under the rug which nobody wants to talk about. But only by talking about them do we get people to understand and engaged in finding solutions.
A lot of us have shed tears over his songs so you're in good company!
Please feel free to do more of Ren's songs!
Peace to you brother. Thank you for your reaction. I think we are all witnessing brilliance and maybe once in a lifetime talent. Not sure either how talent like this stayed hidden. From his busking days, the crowds were large. I can't imagine being able to see him perform live. He is real and raw. Anything I have watched that he as done is brilliant. I am very glad Sony missed out. We would all be witnessing something different I am afraid. Everything I have seen also shows how down to earth and kind hearted he is.
Jenny, Screech and Violet's tale - Do the full version and watch then together.
Not sure how good his voice is.. Chalk Outlines and How to be Me
Can he Rap - Hunger, Genesis, Losing it, Sick Boi
Live busking videos - What an experience that must have been for those that saw him and his band The Big Push.
Anyway. Wishing for you peace and healing.
Thank you!
There's always HOPE my friend, Ren touches so many people 🙏🥰
First time I saw hi ren my reaction was just the same as yours.
I've suffered with mental health issues since I was 15 and I'm now 43. I mostly handled the manic depression well and did my best to navigate society and social norms but the last 10 years I've struggled with sever social anxiety and panic attacks, which in turn increased the severity of depression and also has led to severe agoraphobia.
Hi ren had me on the verge of tears almost immediately but fully broke me at hope 'the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope".
The ending is beautifully uplifting though and I found it quite cathartic.
It's so cleverly done throughout and what hits me the most that nearly all reactors I've watched have failed to notice or speculate is that when he goes back into the yodelling at the end, it's like his emotional battle has gone full circle and the yodelling with the lights flickering seems to imply that he's back at the start of the battle and about to go through it all over again such as a real mental health/psychosis episode often would do.
Like many others who've watched multiple reactions to this, seeing the reactor get teary sets me off too lol but it's good ro be able to feel so strongly for other's and have that empathy.
Great reaction, keep it up and keep well fella.
I plan to watch again for everything I missed on the first listen. So much going on throughout the video that it is nearly impossible to catch it all on first listen. Thank you for the kind words and please remember you are not alone in this either. I know it’s tough at times but we must keep on keeping on. I hope all is well for you my friend. Take care… 👍
@@bShawreacts yeah it's definitely worth giving a few listens. I can't imagine anyone would catch everything in one go.
I'm doing okay really. Had to move back in with my parents in 2015 and have been here since.
I've not worked since 2015 either due to the panic attacks and agoraphobia and it's been very tough losing so many aspects of personal independence but over time I've learned to lessen expectations of myself and become content with the few little things I can do and I'm now just focusing on fixing the physical problems that have amounted over time due to not being able to make or attend dental or medical appointments for the last 8 years.
I have a roof over my head and a little bit of money to keep me going so I'm okay, I just struggle a lot with what most people wouldn't give a second thought, eg dentist apps, phone calls, even going to the shop 5 mins down the road is very hard but I'm going to do prolonged exposure therapy soon and with small steps hopefully get back to being comfortable leaving the house for extended periods of time.
Anyway, I let you be! Thanks for replying!
Take care man.
Oh and I'll just quickly add, I've always been fortune to find good uplifting music that helps when going through tough times.
If you've not heard of them already, you may enjoy a band called "sunny day real estate" the "rising tide" album is one of my favourites and if you have a look for it you'll likely get suggested some other great bands of the late 90's to mid 00's.

Wow one of the most wonderful reactions to this one. I'm addicted to seeing how it affects everyone. Your complete genuine vulnerable reaction to it was WELL worth it. Thank you man. Just remember for all the dark that comes with the light, flipside for all the dark you deal with, with your own health issues, I truly believe there will be as much light my man. Cheers! I'm def. a new subscriber now!
Thank you so much. I struggled with whether or not to post this reaction as I don’t want to come across as ungrateful or angry about my struggles. We each have our own battles to fight and I am here to fight. I have a beautiful loving wife and son who are always there for me but I try to not burden them with all of my health issues. You are absolutely correct when it comes to being trapped in the “Darkness”. I must remember that even in the darkest times there will always be light. I genuinely hope all is well for you and I appreciate you taking the time to share and respond to the reaction! 👍
@@bShawreacts anytime man. We all need support whether we ask for it, or it falls upon us. Like Ren said, we are human beings. We have heart my brother. I wish you well and will be watchin more of your reactions. Cheers!
Agree 100%
@@bShawreacts maybe it proves that you are a decent person..❤❤
People like Ren seems to have gone through stuff and gained experience so that they may help others. His message is pure and honest. That's why we cry. We recognise our own pain, don't we.
From my own experience, I can say there are ways out. I was there. Pain to the edge of life itself. Been there, done that. It's effing hard, gruelling. As long as we fight ourselves. When we start to dance, becoming our own best partner, soften, things may change.
So true! You seem like a person I could sit and share life’s experiences with. I sincerely hope you are doing well! Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts with me! 👍
@@bShawreacts Share on! The turning point for me, I think, was when someone said "Incurable means curable from within". The feeling of actually having my destiny in my own hands if I choose to, was refreshing. I started looking inside and saw how I mistreated myself, telling me I was worthless-stupid-dysfunctional. Instead, I started telling my body, organ by organ, that I love them. Like "Hi, there Liver. You know I love you right? You're important, you know." etc, sending good vibes and emotions to each organ.
In 2009 my body was ready to pack down. My physician actually didn't want to see me because I'm over-weight. (Not obese, mind you.) Which made the decision simple, to try new ways. Two years later I found a specialist who told me I had had about a week to live at that time, if I hadn't gotten the help I needed. Which was not through the public health system btw.
Keep on dancing #Amema, all things change and time heals all. Life is such a gift. The world we call home is such a gift, there is a beauty in life everywhere we look. Tinged with sadness because with life, comes death.
Grief is the price we pay for love.
When you get over hurdle after hurdle you feel invincible. Made of Tungsten steel. Nothing will keep you down. You'll keep getting up.
Peace and love to you and yours ❤
@@zed4225 I completely agree with everything you shared here!!! Thank you!
Це неймовірна пісня і неймовірна реакція на неї! Я не можу перестати її слухати! Це відрізняється від звичної для мене музики! REN у кожній своїй пісні заставляє задуматися і має глибокий смисл!
Re: The Saw pig at the beginning. Its playing a character from a slasher film Saw. I saw an interview where he talked about how we live in this time of extremes- the world is just burying us in content that is made to trigger our emotions. All the sex, violence, its about shock value and grabbing our attention, and we feel all that, its everywhere around us, but also none of it is real. So what he wants to do with his music is create something real. Emotion that is real. And more than anything, thats what people are craving, seeking out in this fake plastic world. There are so many references here. When you start to unpack what he is talking about, its amazing.
Yup, this was real. And I really appreciate your honesty and bravery in your reaction. Like yourself this hit me hard and at a time (still am) facing some difficulty within myself. I broke down too because I was able to relate to something, someone on what I was feeling inside and now I had a tool to share with those close to me to help explain the struggles I have been feeling within myself. I appreciate you and I too wish you a virtual hug. You are not alone.
Thank you. Please know you are not alone as well. This song hits hard in the feels. It was tough. I completely connected to it and it happened so fast! Wasn’t expecting it to do that but that is what is so great about Music! I’ll definitely be checking out more from Ren. I hope that in some way, you can find some peace and comfort in this crazy journey we call life. Take care my friend. 👍
@@bShawreacts You are so real my brother and I love you take the time for your community
Dear brother this is my first time watching your reactions. Please know how deeply sorry I am to hear the struggles you are going through right now. I can relate I myself have my own medical issues that cause many of the symptoms you are having today. I was told nearly 15 years ago that if I didn’t do what this Dr wanted me to do I wouldn’t live another 6-8 weeks. But her I am I went from weight of 208 to now a weight of 138. I still have pain every day and force myself to eat at least once a day! You are not alone!! I will be praying for you every day!! Just remember you are never alone and know there’s always HOPE!! I know how hard it can be but you must never give up Hope!!! I pray that you will soon get your liver but until then remember every day that prayers are going up for you and you can make it through this!! Know that you have Love and support from all of us that subscribe and click on just to watch your reactions!! Thanks for sharing your story!! Prayers for relief, healing, strength, quick transplant, and PEACE!!
Thank you so very much! I’m so glad that Dr. was wrong and that you are still here with us! I’ll be praying for you as well my friend! I sincerely hope all is going well for you! 👍
I really appreciate the honesty of your reaction. I am deep into the Ren rabbit hole. His music brings up so many emotions - you’re not alone. Check out some of his other music. My recommendation for your next reaction would be The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full version).
Thank you! 👍
@@bShawreacts Make sure you choose the full version because it has to be watched in the right order for it to make sense
This was the most emotionally powerful and overwhelming reactions to this that I’ve seen and I’ve seen them all. I’ve been chronically ill with severe long Covid for over 3 years now. I got sick in March 2020 and I’ve not had a day without pain since. I could feel your emotions leaping off the screen. Most days I can’t get out of bed but Ren’s music has been such a light in the darkness and I’m glad you found it, too. My boys’ father died of Covid in Aug 2021 so it’s been a very tough road. But I find dealing with my emotional pain and embracing it helps me fight through the physical pain, neuropathy, and a brain that is shutting down and fighting against me.
My heart goes out to you. I felt all of it here. When you’re feeling like you can handle it emotionally you should react to Sick Boi, Chalk outlines, Genesis, and Crutch. REN’s music is so cathartic to those who are struggling with pain, illness, and mental health issues.
I’m so glad I found your channel. Thanks for doing this. 💛
Wow 😪. So very sorry to hear all of this. I’m blown away by your fortitude and ability to fight through all of that and carry on! Please continue to fight the good fight. For your boy and just as important for yourself! I will be sending you nothing but positive vibes! Take care my friend… 💙
57 year old man. 'Hi Ren' changed my life. No Lie.
So much happier now that I have the insight how to deal with my internal critical voice.
Embrace it. New chapter starts today.
TBH I get emotional whenever I see art that blows me away, even if it's not a touchy subject. The depth of his talent and this live performance is mind numbing.
I stuck with you the whole way through, my guy. I’ve seen many reactors break down to this song.
I’m being tested for liver cirrhosis in three weeks. Been a heavy drinker for 20+ years. I quit drinking six weeks ago after I starting having some serious issues. So yeah, I get it. I’ve come to terms of what it could eventually mean.
I wish you the best, truly.
Right back at you! I hope you get the best of results from your test. I have never even taken a sip of alcohol. It just never really seemed to be something I wanted to try. The non-alcoholic cirrhosis was inherited from my biological family. I was adopted at 11 days old and never even considered getting tested until obviously it was too late and my liver is completely destroyed. Stay strong and do your best to stay calm. It’s tough. Here for you my friend if ever you need to just vent or talk about anything. Take care… 👍
Wow, wishing you success and inner peace. You got this. Your an inspiration just by writing this. Massive virtual hug for you. From one who knows the road, and many others beside it, and have come through the fire stronger.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and never a truer sentence. You feel almost invincible. But with so much love, empathy and compassion for anyone going through their own personal he*l.
Makes you want to pick others up, to let them know, they aren't alone. You are strong and you will prevail.
Love n hugs x
Ok, before the reaction even starts.
I can tell, Ren is a PERFECT fit for you.
I mean ALL of his music.
Now on to the reaction.
You are so right! Sorry I was a blubbering mess throughout most of it. Hopefully you were able to enjoy the reaction! 👍
@@bShawreacts don’t apologize. It came from your heart 🥰
And I agree, you will enjoy the Ren journey
I was so worried that you weren't going to get through this,and desperately hope you would. Consequently you reaction is one of the best I've seen,and I've seen hundreds. I guess that Ren intended for this song to evoke deep feelings,that we can all relate to, as we all have an inner voice. I'm so sorry that you are going through pain, but never apologise for showing true emotion. Thank you.
Thank you! Means so much to me. Truly. Take care my friend…
Ren's music brings up a lot of emotions for a lot of people. It can't be a lot to process, but also very cathartic. And his fan base is an incredibly supportive community of people who are not afraid to address the elephants in the room or the monsters under the bed.
I'm so sorry you've been suffering. I wish you ease.
❤
Thank you!
First of all, yes the end monologue was from Ren about his pathway and struggles. Secondly, I hope you gain some positive vibes after the emotional roller coaster of the song, and see the message is one of hope. You are here today, celebrate that fact. I have been where you are now 10 years ago, so Hi Ren hits me in a similar way, but if I had of seen it 10 years ago, I would have been a lot like your reaction. Peace and love from Tasmania Australia.
Congrats on getting the new AFL stadium, it's awesome, and about time.
Don't be sorry for being human, we all felt what Ren was saying 😢
Great, emotional reaction! I'm not one to hide my emotions either. Ren hit me hard in the feels, too, especially since I had also been through the mental health treadmill most of my life. Very few artists hit the nail on the head like he does, and his music has been acting like therapy for me. I hope all goes well for you, and that you get the treatment you need!
Thank you!
"I'm not going to cry, because who wants to see that, right."
Bro. We all want to see you cry, like we did/do the first time, and every time.
Ren is in sync with humanity.
You will enjoy his music rabbit hole I'm sure.
Although you will probably experience more tears on a few other songs.
But it's incredibly powerful and therapeutic.
This was a powerful reaction. From my own health history i know nobody can offer the correct advice for you, although many will try.
Stay strong.
I have watched people cry, laugh, smile, and shake their heads to this music video. This is by far the most emotionally moving reaction I’ve seen. And that’s what REN’s music is, whether it’s the deeper storytelling tracks or his upbeat raps, he makes you feel it.
Brother trust in the music. It will always bring us together on so many levels
I had to watch it over 20 times before I could get through it without tearing up... but I still find my eyes watering every time a reactor tears up ... thanks for sharing your tears and story with us today... it was so touching and genuine. I really loved it and sincerely hope you join us RENegades down his wonderous rabbit hole. Bless you!
Thank you! I’m definitely going down this rabbit hole! So inspiring! Hope all is well… 👍

You are who you are because you're a beast. A monster in battle. Deep breath, clear your thoughts, grab your sword and keep swinging. Crush it all and stand upon your own ashes as you've done so many times before.
Gosh man it seems like you're really going through it.
First of all condolences on the loss of your pup, that is heartbreaking. I have my cat Honey and she is the highlight of my day each day. The love for this beautiful being is unconditional ❤️
Second the health issues that you're experiencing sound terrible, I don't know enough to comment much on that except for to wish you well.
Third, Ren will bring out all sorts of emotions, thoughts and feelings we didn't know we needed really. That is absolutely nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. If you need to cry then we are here for you. I believe one of the biggest issues that we face today is a disconnect from others around us, which in an age of being pretty much able to speak to anyone in the world (e.g me writing this to you right now from the UK) doesn't really make sense.
I see through these reaction channels listening to this song in particular that we can connect. We want to connect! We are not divided! We are all human beings and we need to stop being so hard on ourselves. Big love ❤️
Thank you so much! You are absolutely 100% correct. The outpouring of love I have received since posting this is completely overwhelming (in a good way of course)! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch and for sharing your thoughts with me! Means a lot! Honestly. Hope all is well! 👍
