You missed the last few seconds. It showed that it was dedicated to his friend Callum MacKay who passed away in 2011 aged 22 (just a few months after losing his best friend Joe Hughes)
Ren wanted to create a tribute to his friend Callum Mackay who passed away 6 months after Joe’s death. Ren said that he just couldn’t come up with lyrics to say what he wanted but when he sat at the piano this just naturally poured out of him. That’s the beauty of music. You don’t need words to express emotions (if done correctly) and Ren did Callum proud with this one
Oh wow! Thank you for pointing that out… I was noticing the beam of sun shining down on Ren☀️ Clearly, Callum’s spirit was all around him, what a beautiful thing to witness in every way possible💝
I did not hear one person complain that he didn’t sing. There were a couple people that were surprised he didn’t sing, but at the end all those people said I’m so beautiful it didn’t work. What is tribute to your friends passed away all right thank you for sharing your music with the world. He won’t sing over it. He said he had writers block when his friend passed, because he passed so close to Joe’s death, and the two deaths of his best friends less than six months apart he couldn’t grasp and he had a couple tributes to Joe and he just sat down at piano not too long ago and he said this just came out of him, and then he felt like he was finally at peace with callum passing . So my opinion there’s no way he would put lyrics over it.
He is an very interesting and intelligent person! I love the song where he sing"with his other self"sorry, English isn't my main language, hope ypu understand? This one was so beautiful and sad, I love it when music is both and tells a story 😢💜it looks like he is somewhere in the coast of England, wild and beautiful. So good tribute and farewell to a good friend🦋♾️
Alberta, Canada was the background. This is a tribute and he couldn't find the words, so after yrs he finally decided to speak his goodbyes through the piano's music.
Great reaction! Please please please always let REN’s video play all the way out- you missed the end where you would have seen the pic of his friend that this was a tribute to!
For many of us, we're in it for Ren as an artist. Is everything he does 'my thing'? No, not at all, but I listen and watch, and listen again and there is always something new to learn. I think he's astonishing. Not often an artist comes through who will probably fill venues with a hardcore rap/hip hop gig, and then fill a venue with his own modern classical compositions. I'd pay to go to both.
I would always recommend looking to see if Ren had anything to say about a video before you watch it - he'll sometimes put his thoughts in the video description, sometimes in a pinned comment like he did here. Also - play the video to the end! Having said that, great reaction. I love your appreciation of Ren's genius.
I liked your reaction! Subscribed. My brother, a musician for over 50 years, said that this is Ren's best so far. I wouldn't quite go that far, but I heard everything from Ren, that I could get my ears and/or eyes on. As always, Ren surprised. Ren is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get.
Because of the way he accents the top of his arpeggios in this, he almost creates an additional melody that is gentle in comparison to the turbulence of the rest of the arpeggio. Its a very poigniant effect. RIP Callum.
Привет из России! Джон, вы - один из моих любимых реакционеров. С вами легко, вы очень искренний. Я начала смотреть вас из-за Димаша. Этот парень, пианист, действительно играет прекрасно, и мелодия очень приятная и красивая. Спасибо. Всего доброго вам и вашим родным, берегите себя
Ren isn't just a piano player, he's kinda new into that. He's a rapper, guitar player and a rock star. A prodigy. Learn to play guitar on RUclips when he was 12 and the piano came later. He's concider to be the best rapper and singer on the planet except from Dimash Kudaibergen of course. 👍 🇳🇴
I may be wrong, but I think he is self taught on all instruments. And if that is true, then that just raises the bar on just how impressive this man is
If you read his comments attached to the video he explains the reason for the piece and why there are no lyrics. It's a tribute to a friend who died in an accident when Ren was 21. Really great reaction ❤
Loved your reaction. Only 1 other reactor I've seen that spoke on the playing. It really brings a better appreciation for me. Also noticed at 3:42 the butterfly 🦋 and his head goes up then. (Squeee)
I don’t know…I think I was always into his ability with instruments and composition. Like, even his production on his rap beats are so incredibly musical. I think one of the best examples is Seven Sins. Dude, the production and arrangement on that song blows me away every time I hear it. Dude just has a musical mind.
I thought the same thing when I heard this piece. This is in league with Philip Glass, Rachel Portman, Ennio Morricone, Hans Zimmer, any of the great Film score composers. I hope he gives us more of his instrumental pieces in the future. The guy is a renaissance man!
Wow, what a beautiful piano solo! As usual Ren surprises us, no lyrics, no words, just a rollercoaster of emotions played out on the keys of the piano...Sometimes there are no words and it's through music one can still express their thoughts and emotion...No Words Needed...
Filmed in Drumheller, AB, which is just northeast of Calgary. Such a beautiful tribute to Ren's friend Callum Mackay who passed away tragically. Thanks for reacting to this 💜💜
ALWAYS play a video to the end... You missed the dedication to his friend Callum Mackay, for whom this piece is a tribute. Hence the name of the piece.
I think people should perhaps not make suggestions for Ren for his own music. Ren chose to write this his own way, for his own reasons. He could have written words if he wanted to. He has chosen not to. Personally, I don't think he needs the permission or suggestion of any other people telling him what he can and can't do. Just my thoughts.
yeah I had no idea that the video played after it when black like that, meant no disrespect for sure I would have loved to see that for the reaction but have went back and saw it.
Obviously ya dont prewatch the videos! Question is... would ya have still done it and posted it knowing it was just a musical piece??? I know youre a Ren fan and all... still! Just curious! PS... ya missed the dedication at the end! For whom he did this for!
@JohnReavesLive I Knew that... just adding to the Oggle algorithm for ya! Lol Highly Highly recommend doing his Ready for You or Englishman in New York! Being a singer yourself... just saying there's Tons more Ren to see! At least watch offline! Him and the Big Push doing I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop is a Must do!!!! That version!!! His Earned it/Mansworld while busking will Definitely give ya a new respect of his singing abilities! Again... at least offline if not a reaction video
@JohnReavesLive Also Bro... any of your work available online? Betcha Rock the stage like Rents due!!! Ima hard rock guitarist of 40 years... id bet money on it!!!
You missed the last few seconds. It showed that it was dedicated to his friend Callum MacKay who passed away in 2011 aged 22 (just a few months after losing his best friend Joe Hughes)
It seems a lot of reactors do that. I've seen this happen at least 5 times already. People should know stay to the END with Ren.
@@NightFogFilms Ditto! Pretty annoying 😀
Should have let the video play out to see why he made this piece of art!
Agree !

Thank you for a beautiful explanation 💜I'm not really into "classical music" but I could listen to this for hours🎶💜
Do you think he even saw the butterfly? Awesome ❤
Oh wow! Thank you for pointing that out…
I was noticing the beam of sun shining down on Ren☀️
Clearly, Callum’s spirit was all around him, what a beautiful thing to witness in every way possible💝
Happy birthday Callum and Ren! #ren #mackay
R.I.P. Callum Mackay, R.I.P. friend and courageous would-be live-saver Lewis Darroch.
Putting his music into to natural world!!! It's so opposite of industry music, and I'm so here for it!

Ren is amazing,so is Dimash...we are lucky to experience Artists like this!😊
Do you know how many people for the first time has seen Someone plays piano, no words no asses no bullsheet?
Just music.
Just call him an artist. His main medium is music, but there’s so much more. Ren the world is yours! 🌎
I certainly got the chills and teared up. Personally I love it just as is…… it’s gold. Great reaction!
Ren is multifaceted and I find him very interesting. Thanks for your reaction
He is an very interesting and intelligent person! I love the song where he sing"with his other self"sorry, English isn't my main language, hope ypu understand?
This one was so beautiful and sad, I love it when music is both and tells a story 😢💜it looks like he is somewhere in the coast of England, wild and beautiful. So good tribute and farewell to a good friend🦋♾️
it's so beautiful and says so much without words. I can feel his memories, his grief, all of it.
I love you noting the little trill chord note near the end.
Alberta, Canada was the background. This is a tribute and he couldn't find the words, so after yrs he finally decided to speak his goodbyes through the piano's music.
Only Ren could make a butterfly appear in his tribute to his friend.
I thought I was seeing things, how cool was that
It was a butterfly?? I thought I just"saw"it cos the music kind of reminded me of a butterfly flying around you🦋💜
Ren's pianist skills made me cry.
Great reaction! Please please please always let REN’s video play all the way out- you missed the end where you would have seen the pic of his friend that this was a tribute to!
Agree 💯

It was beautiful Ren is an amazing artist...thanks appreciate you.
Sometimes there just are no words
Love your excited reaction & insights.💕👍🦇
Great reaction. The joy in your face, just appreciating the brilliance.

I may be wrong, but I think he is self taught on all instruments. And if that is true, then that just raises the bar on just how impressive this man is
Yep! He's completely self taught. He plays guitar, bass, drums, keys, and the melodica. I think he said he plays a little cello too. ❤
If you read his comments attached to the video he explains the reason for the piece and why there are no lyrics. It's a tribute to a friend who died in an accident when Ren was 21. Really great reaction ❤
I agree with you - it is like movie music and it is beautiful.
Great reaction! Thanks for doing this
Loved your reaction. Only 1 other reactor I've seen that spoke on the playing. It really brings a better appreciation for me. Also noticed at 3:42 the butterfly 🦋 and his head goes up then. (Squeee)
Nice one, its a beautiful performance for sure....
Such a beautiful piece of music, he will be writing film scores next ❤🎶
Just one word ( Sensational) 🙏
I don’t know…I think I was always into his ability with instruments and composition. Like, even his production on his rap beats are so incredibly musical.

He's a massive pianist, actually.
Don't think it needs words personally but i could imagine Romain laying some guitar over the top in the way only he could do. REN never misses 🎶🎵🍯🤌🙏🐝🍀
Wow, what a beautiful piano solo! As usual Ren surprises us, no lyrics, no words, just a rollercoaster of emotions played out on the keys of the piano...Sometimes there are no words and it's through music one can still express their thoughts and emotion...No Words Needed...
The arpeggios followed by that darker part remind me of the Downton Abbey theme.
Thank you John for sharing this. Love your channel. Take good care.❤
❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing the beautiful tribute ❤

JOHN! First thank you. QUESTION: how many sharps or flats did he use? HELP.
I think people should perhaps not make suggestions for Ren for his own music.
Ren chose to write this his own way, for his own reasons. He could have written words if he wanted to. He has chosen not to. Personally, I don't think he needs the permission or suggestion of any other people telling him what he can and can't do. Just my thoughts.
Ya gotta do his Back on 74 and Fred Again mashup!!!
Wait he hasn’t done those yet?! 🤯🤯🤯
Please do the right thing by the Artist and play the video to the end. You would have found out what it was about.
I'm getting really frustrated with reactors not letting the video play until the end.
It's not the reactors fault jesus!!!!!!!!!!! The screen goes black!
yeah I had no idea that the video played after it when black like that, meant no disrespect for sure I would have loved to see that for the reaction but have went back and saw it.

I for sure would! I love instrumentals and honestly am blown away by how good his composition is!
@JohnReavesLive I Knew that... just adding to the Oggle algorithm for ya! Lol
