Stages of watching Hi Ren:
This looks creepy
Guitar sounds nice
Oh he’s singing
Will the whole song be like this?
Here’s the beat
Ok he’s rapping now
This guy is scary
Now he seems nice
Oh I see what he’s doing
This is interesting
This is intense
The mean guy is a jerk
This is INTENSE
Make it stop
I haven’t blinked or taken a breath in 2 minutes
Go Ren!
YES!
OOO-OO-OO-OO-OO-..
I need some time to be still…
Lol, nailed it!
This is one of the most raw, honest reactions I’ve ever seen to this song. Thank you for being so vulnerable, and thank you for staying. You are loved. ❤️
❤🙏❤
I'm 57, a huge PF, NW, Eminem and many others fan....i say this without intentional hyperbole....Ren may be the most important artist out there right now....
I’ve lost a beloved friend to depression last year. If he’s still here he’ll be the same age as Ren. Hate myself being so ignorant about the illness before. Glad Ren is raising the awareness. Thank you and your wife too for sharing your feelings.
I just saw your Hi Ren reaction, and put this journal entry of Ren's as my comment to that reaction.
I'm posting it here , so you don't miss it.
jAN 01, 2023
rEN~
Up until I was 9 years old, I would intermittently hear a voice in my head that was not my own. The voice was distinctly different to mine, and always negative. It would self criticise or urge me to do things I knew to be morally wrong. The most peculiar thing about the voice was that it took no effort on my behalf to produce. My own thoughts always felt like there was a process that required effort to bring them to the forefront of my mind, this voice appeared as though it was spoken by another. The sentences felt predetermined like they had already been constructed.
I remember very vividly at 9 years old, becoming very frustrated with the voice. I stood in my back yard, internally screaming at the voice to be silent again and again, and it did. In a flash there was silence, to the point where my head felt like an empty room. I wasn't used to the quiet and that voice never returned. It almost felt lonely in my head.
When I got older I had intermittent bouts with auditory hallucinations where I would hear perfect symphonies, usually at night when drifting off to sleep. They were so clear that they sounded like they were emanating from a radio in the corner of my room. I knew they weren't there, but for some reason they never came with the feeling of fear. I also recall sitting on a bus at the age of 15, and hearing the sound of a crowded room, with about 100 voices chattering away, I was the only person apart from the driver on the bus.
These experiences were always very brief, and few and far between.
My last hallucination was during an intense bout of psychosis in 2015, and was my first visual hallucination. I was walking down a pavement after jumping out my mums car in a crossroads in a moment of frustration and distress with my condition. I was trying to run from myself. What appeared to be a homeless man with a dark complexion approached me, and asked me what was wrong. I explained that I had been sick most my life, and I wasn't sure I had the strength to continue. He looked at me, and smiled and told me 'everything is going to be okay in the end Ren.' I had not told him my name. There was something so overpoweringly sincere about this very simple message, which brought with it an overwhelming feeling of inner peace, and in a flash, he vanished.
My rational brain always linked these experiences to what the doctors have told me, that there are parts of my brain compromised by the autoimmunity in my body. That the myelin sheaths surrounding the complex electrical system that conduct my thoughts were damaged and compromised, causing these lucid experiences that I knew did not exist inside the physical world.
The part of me that edges away from logical and rational thought always attributed these thoughts to some kind of otherworldly intervention, that made my thoughts the battleground of some spiritual tug of war.
For a long time I never really acknowledged this part of myself, for with it brought the danger and stigma of sounding like a crazy person.
I decided with my latest release, to the best of my ability, to capture and express this chess match of thought.
Hi Ren comes out in just over 24 hours.
I can't wait for you all to hear it.
I think chalk outlines live acoustic version by ren would be a excellent one to watch very relevant to what you were discussing
You're so right... Chalk outlines is a MUST!
Definitely need chalkoutlines next
Agreed. You'll love it. Please use the live version.
I’ve watched this video over 500 times I’ve watched probably half of the reactors have reacted to it along with all the times that I’ve watched it on my own or just listen to the song in the car and I cry almost every time I listen to it, so even when I’m watching someone react
Absolutely! She needs to hear Chalk Outlines! She'll relate to it SOO much!
Ohh I love the wife. So brave and open such a strong person she is. God bless your family
You will find a companion in Ren and in many of us Renegades. He has chosen to be the voice for the voiceless who have nentsl illness as he does and have been made invisible by chronic illness.
Do the 1 million subscribers video. I❤
We ALL cry. Welcome to the movement that is Ren. We RENegades have found a landing spot, a home in Ren and his music. My favorite lines are also "and I go by many names also. Some people know me as HOPE, some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope." I heard that voice years ago. Welcome, new Renegades. 🥹🫂
That moment you see “hope” take root in the reactor’s face. That smile when his words on hope rang out warmed my heart. Exactly how I felt. 💙💙💙. Your reaction was one of the rawest, most honest reactions I’ve seen. Hugs and 100% agree.
What a perfect explaination of depression. Thank you for sharing, it helped me start climbing out of the deep deep dark dark pit.❤❤❤
I completely empathize with your wife 😢 I also suffer from depression and anxiety disorder and like Ren said as I got older I did learn to relax and learned to dance and balance with my shadow self because both sides of you (the balance) makes you YOU. You just have to keep the dark side in check because even though you are one you are the real you, the one you want to be, the one you are supposed to be and the one you will always be. The symbolism in this song really shows our struggle out loud and it's because of this song I'm in therapy because Ren gave me hope and strength and realized sometimes existing can be exhausting and it's ok to not be ok because like Ren said we are all just human beings. Blessed be to the both of you 🌒🌕🌘
Def Chaulk Outlines (Live) next... It's about how the meds make you feel. Amazing performance as well.
Also the live version of For Joe which addressses how a person can be affected for life by someones actions.
BEAUTIFUL reaction!! Sir, I subbed when you said you always felt the line "I'm the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope", I know exactly what you mean. The first time I saw this video, that same line destroyed me. It completely broke me because I've been there, I've heard that voice too. And, ma'am, (I'm sorry, I didn't catch your names! *cringe*) I know what depression is like and you nailed it right there when you said you don't know which way the pendulum is going to swing. I feel you 💯there. There is another song by Ren called 'Chalk Outlines' that he performs with Chinchilla. Let me warn you!!! It will hit you even harder than this one did, and you might not want to react to it, but please... Listen to it. 🔥🎶😊🙏✌
Thank you for your open words and for showing your emotions. I’m sure, there are a lot of Ren-Songs you can relate to. Stay strong, there are people who love you!
Amazing reaction and response. Sorry to here you have been through so much and still dealing with depression. I think you will like to discover more music by Ren and not just the sad ones that give you the 'feels' but also the ones that bring you Up and give you strength. Id recommend 'Power' and 'Genesis' amongst others for that, but also for more that will help you see his continued take on the issues of depression and his struggle through illness would be 'Chalk out lines' live with Chinchilla and, 'Sick Boi', and also 'For Joe' live.
Additionally try out the full version of Tales of Jenny and Screech, and Money Game 1, 2 and 3. Enjoy the journey and I'm looking forward to joining you on the way.
Man, thank you so much for sharing this with us. I’m from NSW Australia so I’m prob half way around the world from you guys but I wish I could just reach out and give you guys a hug, from one human to two others consider this a virtual hug.
Lots of us struggle with depression, and we are our own worst enemies, but there is hope, you guys expressed it in this video.
Thank you
🙏
Ren is from Wales but lives and busk in Brighton UK. He turned 33 in September.
33 on March 29th.
your correct I had me dates mixed up@@francesdoll4039
He'll be 34 this March 👍❤
He turned 33 last March.😊
Thank you, Mrs History Buff, brilliant description of depression. ❤
I think one of Ren's main points is that the 'good voice' can be just as destructive as the 'bad voice'. As he says in the song "I'm a genius"; I suspect some listeners would think that's a good mindset, but being over confident/deluded can be just as detrimental as succumbing to negativity. (Although, Ren IS a musical genius...😊)
It's a wonderful thing to feel seen and to know that someone else is walking that difficult path alongside us. There are plenty more deep songs of his that will make you weep. Maybe checkout his song Power for a more straightforwardly uplifting song next. I recommend his 1 million subscribers video as a beautiful, succinct summary of his philosophy of life. You'll be impressed.
Please do not worry about interruptions from kids or pets for most of us it's relatable. I recently watched a reaction to the show The Wire on a channel called You, me and the movies and during almost every episode at one point or another their little girl would wander into frame asking for a drink or some such and rather than editing it out they just played a round of applause everytime she showed up it was great. We've all been there as I said relatable.
Great reaction by the way!
Empathised with you response, feelings expressed with honesty is what creates "true" connections between us.
Thank you for being so open. Hoping that bit of a release helped a little ❤️
It wasn't for a while that I realised your shirt said "Cheer Mom". I thought it was "Beer Mom" with a big glass of ale! Anywayy Mrs Cheer Mom ... thank you for being so honest and open. It was a sincere and truthful reaction, and thank you for sharing your story. New sub ❤
What a beautifully honest reaction, thank you so much for sharing this!
Ren’s art is my therapy. He has helped me more than any therapist that I’ve visited or self-help book that I’ve read.
A great .... and emotional reaction.... he certainly makes you think and open up dialogue....
To the lady. My mom suffered of bi-polar- depression for most of her life ( past at 91) Went tru all kind of traitment from medication to electochok, hospitalisation for months. She learned to dance with it and accepted that some day would be long and some other to short. She learn to give herself time and accepted that the ideal mom she tought she was supose to be would never become a reality, puting less on her shoulder and taking pride on just being the best version of herself for that day was anaugh. I didn't always understand was going on in her minde but I always knew that she loved me. She gave me the best of her and being around her was precious, growing with open hearth and minde, acceptence of other's difference,. PLZ never doubt of your hability to give to your children life lesson that they would never have other way. Big hug.
This was an absolutely beautiful reaction to Ren’s masterpiece. You are so correct that this is an honest depiction of depression ❤❤
Ren❤❤❤❤
Ren is 33 from Anglesey Wales
Resides in Brighton England but has been in treatment for chronic autoimmunity following Lymes disease since last January
He hopes to be finished by late April in better condition to continue making his fantastic music
I love C S Lewis too btw
Love and Hugs from Devon England
You are enough sweetheart let yourself of the hook.
Rest and relax intensionally
I know that's not always easy with kids to care for.
You were forgiven before the foundations of the earth and it sounds like your doing brilliantly and being honest with yourself
As Ren says you are human practice loving yourself even if you mess up
I have had depression too so can relate
💕
He turned 34 a couple months ago.
I am sorry, but I love watching other people cry to this song, just like I did. I ugly cried when I heard this song. It's a beautiful masterpiece. Big hugs to the wife. Been there and done that. xoxo
This is such an important topic. I'm so glad Ren is singing about this. I made ny therapist listen to him and he loved him. 😊
People please take care of yourself because no one else can. Much love to you all. ❤ ✌️
Thank you for sharing your inner struggle...may the Lord Bless you both and may he reveal your purpose to you...
The description of depression you described resonates heavily with me on a daily basis...
Hi guys! Great reaction! New subscriber here. Didn't scroll through all the comments so I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but Ren actually filmed this live as a 1 take. If you look closely you can see the mic and you can actually see the guitar strings moving as he plays. He filmed it 4 times, each one in a single take and chose the one he felt was the best. My recommendation would be to check out su!ciDe and For Joe in order. Both were meant as tributes to his friend that took his own life.
Wooo, if us Welsh are your people, then your our people too sister. Diolch👍🏼
Thank u for ur reaction to our sick boi and for being so genuine and raw.My heart broke for u beautiful
Xx
Thank you for your raw reaction, wanted to give you a big hug. Love from Wales ❤
Thank you for sharing your struggles & a big thank you to Ren for making this topic easier to talk about ❤️
Loved your reaction to this GENIUS ❤
Liked & subscribed in anticipation of you reacting to more Ren
Cheers 🍻😀
Thank you for sharing your story and your thoughts-very powerful ❤
You guys are adorable and seem very supportive of other - wishing you all the best ❤
Bless you. I hear you. Have a virtual hug x
Loved this reaction, guys! I very much feel for your wife, and she's so right in everything she said. I think she is someone who will greatly benefit from Rens music and messages. Would love to see you guys react to the live version of "How to be me" Ren x Chinchilla. I think that one hits equally as hard as this one when it comes to that internal struggle, but the singing in it by Ren and Chinchilla is just out of this world great! Patiently waiting for it 😊 Gladly a new sub.
Bless you both. I too recognise the challenge you have shared.
This is what Ren does .He gets people to Think about the issues what matters and to inspire those who think they suffer alone .
So pleased I got to hear your reaction.
I hope you get to see other masterpiece from this remarkable individual.
My best wishes to you both🙂👍👃💜
❤still get teary eyed and chills every time ❤
If you are interested in Ren’s religuous perspective and general worldview you shoud check out his video called “Eden”. This is not a song but it is art. And it’s extremely powerful and gives the viewer a lot of food for thought.
The ChinchillaxRen Chalk Outlines video, and the Sick Boi video, would probably be interesting as will as part of his mental health series
Your wife gets it , depression is a life condition., ren has given us a tune allowing us to openly talk about it, thanks, Ren.
❤❤❤
Excellent reaction. Chalk Outlines is appropriate.. but may be incredibly emotional. ❤
Ren is 33. But he does look like he's still a baby!
Amazing reaction. I also missed your names, but ma'am, i hear you. I see you. It's hard, but you're still here. I hope you'll just keep getting older with me. Cause I'm still here too. You're fighting and you matter.
Thanks! Believe it or not, in 3 years, I've never revealed my name on this channel. There are a few artists I've interviewed and when they say it, I bleep it out. So you're the first! My name is Matt, and my wife is Brandy. Very nice to meet you!
Are you drinking wine out of a planter?
Thank you for opening up about your own experience. If you are up to it you will really relate to Chalk Outlines by Ren x Chinchilla. Hugs💕👍🦇
Your wife is not a survivor, SHE’s A CHAMPION, and both of you make this messed up place we all live in a much more beautiful and loving world. Too bad you can’t sing cause I would be listening to your music and your message!🫶
I had a call come in during your discussion at the end. I came back to listen to it and I’m glad I did. Thanks for your openness and raw reaction. You should be super proud of all you have accomplished and your sharing is profound. Wishing you all the best. You should keep reacting to Ren. If you haven’t done it Chalk outlines live is a must. And his newest release Troubles will give you even more insight about his journey. It’s inspiring and so are you. Best. New sub.
Thanks for the sub and welcome! On a call? Are you a firefighter/paramedic by chance?
@@HistoryBuff I'm not, literally a business call that interrupted me. Not nearly as important as what those folks do for us all.
@@jasonryan6877 lol, I was only asking because I'm a career firefighter, and suddenly leaving for a "call" just brought back memories. Certainly not to take away from what you do!
@@HistoryBuff well there are the protectors and only a handful of professions, all of which are under appreciated generally. Oddly i have a history and philosophy degree which is difficult to translate to things other than teaching, politics, or law but somehow ended up on a different path. That said have a passion for history and historians as the understanding of that will likely dictate our future. I appreciate what you have done in your career for sure. Many may not say it, but one of the most important things anyone can do in our society. sure hope you both continue the Ren journey. he is amazing and has consumed too much of my time over the last year and a half, but I have sure enjoyed it.
@jasonryan6877 well now, both of us also have history degrees! Did we just become best friends!?
It's a good cry! Yes! ❤
Great reaction. Also, I love that big drinking glass. Hopefully that was tea and not whiskey! Please react to more Ren, you will love it. You spoke about Ren's religeon. Ren is agnostic; he stated this unambiguously in 'Eden'. Thoughout his work you get the distinct feeling that Ran lost faith over time due to his illness, the pain as such and through drug use and psychotic behavior. You battle for so long that you lose interest or faith in a higher being either benevolent or benign. In any case, this theme is prevalent in his body of work. Ren is 33 years old.
That was a whole bottle of champagne! 🍾 🥂
Fantastic video and you guys are an amazing couple -Fellow Welsh American
Ren is 21st cen Shakespeare.
Agreed with others here. Chalk Outlines (LIVE), should be the next one...
Welcome to the Rennaissance @HistoryBuff & Wifey and 🙏 thank you ❤ for your empathetic and insightful Ren reaction! I liked 👍 it and subscribed 🔔.

the person in pig mask is Ren friend Viktus Ren said the pig Represents the medical industry for him Viktus is in other Ren video with pig mask on
Your wife describes me. It’s a constant struggle. Hugs to both of you.
I am probably two decades further along on my journey than you are. If I could go back and help myself, it would be this:
We need connection. We need meaning. We need companionship and we need to be part of something larger.
And when I found it, it wasn't what or where I expected it:
It is me. I am all of those things. I just needed to learn how to connect with myself. Truly connect. I had been depriving myself of my deepest and most present friend for decades. Once I connected all of those things, the things you talk about, the sadness, the fear, the rage, became...simply present.
Once I expanded my own awareness and connection to myself, all of those things became smaller, more manageable and integrated into one whole. I didn't have to fight it anymore. It is an equal part of me and has always been. Sometimes it just needs a little extra hug and wants to be told it is accepted and loved. So I sit in stillness, solitude and silence. I don't even think. Language is a prison. But it takes purpose, practice and persistence. It is something you cultivate over time, like a bonsai tree.
I love this . I totally agree about needing connection, meaning, companionship and being part of something larger.👍
+1 sub for the Rennercoaster! 'Chalk Outlines (Live)' next please! Or 'How to be Me'
Beautiful reaction.
Welcome to your wife to the Ren roller-coaster
The guy is a genius with words he can rap .make great happy songs and can also blindside you welcome to the ren try losing it then do the trilogy
LESSS GOOO
If you do the tales of Jenny and screech make sure you do the full version trilogy Jenny screech and finally violet's tale in that order otherwise it won't make sense great reaction btw ✌️
Buskers don't make a lot of money. Ren is in his early 30s. ❤🐷🐰🤓
You definitely be to show her the live version of Ren and Chinchillas song "Chalk Outlines" especially because she understands how we all feel when we're medicated. Great reaction, I dropped a sub.
Bard-core
In America we think of Busking as a form of panhandling
Exactly. That's what I was trying to get across
Girl, depression is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Check into Autism. It's not what you probably think, and self-hatred is hard-wired into us.
It. Checks. Every. Box.
Good luck on your jouney. ❤
Lots of love.
Please check out the big push one of the bands ren is in. War pigs black Sabbath cover, wade in the water/Nina simone/trouble so hard and also sympathy for the devil rolling stones cover ❤❤❤ I've subscribed for this heart warming reaction😘
you should do chalk outlines live with Ren and chinchilla also how to be me live Ren Sick Boi and seven sins
Show her sick boi
👌
I think this one "song" made the Kleenex stock go up.
That and your YT handle lol
@@HistoryBuff LOL

Thanx for the honest and emotional reaction, that I feel very connected with.
Will send you a pm on Discord later
Ren the welsh bard ❤ ren y bardd cymraeg
Check out a day in the life of Ren: ruclips.net/video/W6jKUMTlfW4/видео.htmlsi=zYtRweMcp44mQjIc
Thats an English accent not Welsh oddly enough ..
And Adele is English and sounds American
And Madonna is American and sounds brittish
