Hi Redhead, Iam 75 years old and i can not get enough of this guy. Love your reactions and you are very pleasant to the eye as well. God bless you my dear.
I have listened to dozens of reactions and Ren is bringing UNITY around this world the reactors are from everywhere, and funny part is all feel the same as we do. I was caught off guard also and still felt what Ren put into it .. I heard something where he said this wrote it's self one night just playing on his keyboard.. SO far Ren is around the globe sparsely but I see that changing. Like I heard someone say a man changed the world with a 3 letter equation, why can't a message or music or art do the same ? Now I am not a prophet and would never claim to be, but I hear from everywhere and feelings that he feels when he delivers his art seems to be what we all pick up ! And it is very GOOD !! I am nobody , But Ren some people know him as hope !! ( His words ) Haha !! I have that in abundance ..
Even without lyrics, you can hear/feel Ren's memories, growing up, the good times, the accident, the grief and the sad acceptance. It's all in this song. I love it.
What a wonderful tribute to his friend Callum Mackay 🙏Ren is an amazing musician,gifted artist, all round truly humble human being. Hearing anything from him gives me huge joy in my heart 😃
Ren's pinned comment and backstory to the song on the video itself: "Today is one of my favorite peoples birthday. There was a few times we shared birthday parties cause they were so close together, they were always chaotic and awesome. This is me sharing my birthday with him once more. Callum was one of those friends who was constant throughout school, he was a year older than me, always positive, always down to get up to whatever stupid shit was on the menu that day. Fond memories of getting older kids to go get us a bottle of vodka, then heading into the woods behind the co-op and getting so drunk we'd usually end up either throwing up or creating beautifully blurry memories. I loved and looked up to that guy so much. The last time I saw him was ironically at Joes funeral, I'd just won two bottles of wine on the raffle we set up, which was the last time I ever drank alcohol. I decided it would be a sensible idea to drink both, and we had a great send off, felt right all the lads being together in one place, despite the circumstances. Me and call were both absolutely hammered and reminiscing about old times and it felt just like being back in the woods. I got the news Callum had died 6 months after Joe took his life. At the age of 21 it was really difficult for me to process that two of my best friends could die in such a short space of time. Joe dying had hit me so hard that I was almost unable to process Callum going shortly after. I wanted to write something for him for such a long time to pay tribute, but there was a mental block and nothing ever felt right. One day I was sat by my piano and I started to play with no real intention, and this song came out of me that had no words, just music, and for some reason it managed to express what I wasnt able to with words. It felt fitting to hold onto it and release it for his birthday. This is for Callum Mackay Love and miss you always. Ren"
Love the Sublime shirt! (40oz to freedom) RIP Bradley Nowell and Lou Dog! 🙏❤ Bradley passed March 25,1996 so it was a pretty cool tribute from REN ro Bradley too.
Hi Red, I do not think that we will ever stop being happily surprised by Ren. What a fantastic reaction Red and what a tribute by Ren to his friend. I am in my 70's and have listened to all of the greats from the past and put Ren right up there with the best.
Thanks Red. Ren has created an incredible tribute to Callum. But in conveying those emotions in music alone he has given us each a tribute to all those we have lost. As such I tear up every time I hear this. It is an amazing piece of art from an amazing human being.
This one in particular because of my own life experiences has a lot of meaning. I thought this was such a beautiful idea for a tribute! It is my favorite piece of his now! I just think it's so well done! He never stops surprising me! He is my favorite!❤I just adore when he plays piano !!!!
Only Ren can just play the piano and make it so moving, a true tribute without any words, I think it’s really inspired to use the layers of sediment in the rocks that shows how long time is, Ren must move into doing scores for movies
Red, it had the same effect on me as it did on you.did you see the butterfly? Such a beautiful, heartfelt composition. Thank you, darlin’. Love from Annie, in cold & wet Cornwall, UK🙂🌸💞
Ren said in the live stream for this release the new album is almost done and should be out in a month or two. No rap. All singing. He also teased he has been in contact with Harry Mack to collaborate. His next album after the one coming out in a few months is all collabs including 2 with Chinchilla so maybe it will be on there. Sam and Ren shot this in Canada outside of Calgary.
I think he is just going to start releasing songs from the new album in a couple of months. The full album likely won't be for a while longer (like with Sick Boi). It's going to be a good year!
"Swiss Army Knife" is a good analogy...He raps, sings, acts, produces, writes, plays piano, guitar, bass, creates his own beats and backgrounds, and then mixes it all.
Great to see you came across this brilliant little nugget of genius by Ren so quickly.... because of would being a RENegade l like the rest of us. The fact that Ren could put pen to a blank piece of music manuscript and come up with this shows the depth of heart and genius that this man possesses. Wonderful heartfelt reaction to a brilliant tribute to Callum, to lose two friends under such circumstances as Ren did and to react to that without the need for words has me lost for them myself.
I completely understand why it took Ren so long to write this piece. I have written memorial songs for all the people I have lost, except the most important one... For my brother Aaron, my best friend, the man who is the reason I am still here. I can't... just can't.
You are not alone. I watched others waiting for him to verbalize with confused looks on their faces. Hopefully, we all learn to savor the beauty given at the moment.

If you read about the inspiration behind the song I guarantee you you will tear up so much more 😘 This song needs no words and Ren explains why - this is truly art… my eyes have teared up countless times
Just in case nobody has told you today, You're amazing! I wish I had a fraction of this mans talent. I wish I could honour and capture the people I've lost in this way but that isn't something I'm able to do. Not a single word needed and yet every emotion fell out of him and everyone watching knew what he was saying. As always Love from the UK x
There's that one note in a piano piece that brings out an intense emotional reaction. I don't remember the name of the note, but I felt it deep inside when I listened to this. Indescribably lovely.
I'm always amazed how Ren can transform a technically simple chord progression, some triads and arpeggios into an emotion packed journey and allows us to come along with him.❤&🤗
Yeah... Ren levelled up with this one. I don't understand how he just keeps getting better. I'm more excited for his new album with each new video! Loved your reaction!
You teared up because you have the most tender heart of gold I have ever seen 💛💛💛💛 We are blessed to have you in our lives truly 💗💗💗💗 #renmakesmusic #independentartist #reaction #ren #renreaction #renegade #reaction #ren #redheadedneighbor #bestreactor #beautifulcountrygirl #redsarmy Y'ALL EVERYONE TAG RED TODAY FOR HITTING 20K LETS GET HER TO 25K BY JULY 4TH
Your hair is just so fckn gorgeous it makes the music even better! lol Wish you were my neighbour, but I'm sure youve heard that 100,000 xs before. So sexy how you catch your breath too. Tysm for sharing 😊
You are the only one who conveyed what I noticed. When the camera backs up, you see the vastness of "the world so to speak" juxtaposed with Ren representing a human who is tiny in comparison. I take that as we are so small and here for such a short time. It's a snapshot of an individual vs. humanity as a whole. That's the best way I can describe it.
Just when you think Ren can't spring any more surprises! On first listen I was waiting for the singing and then like you I was just mesmerised by his playing and the setting. I'm not a big fan of instrumentals generally but that was emotional even without knowing about his friend Callum. Cheers.
Another heartfelt reaction from a beautiful and genuine lady - thank you. He's not my favourite artist, but this piece was hauntingly beautiful. I've noticed how you hear music with your whole body - you should check out the singer Aurora, who sings with her whole body, I'm sure you'd love her work. This would be a good first one ruclips.net/video/Fc7XWW_Ehb8/видео.html
Strange to come on to a top musicians video, only to say he is not my favorite artist. But listen to this one. I think of an artist as someone who sings or raps. I think of a musician as someone who plays instruments (multiple a plus) and sings like an angel many genres. Ren is a musician because every possible way to make music he makes it. Next he is a performer, composer, producer, director, actor etc.. PS..I'm glad you liked it at least.
@@kellyt5341 To think most of the world is still unaware of this guy is criminal when like you say there are people with a fraction of the talent sold to the public.
Hi love your reactions and seems like you like all sort of musics so would love you to check out OH Bla DI OH BLA DA by Mr Cowboy and any song from Richard Parker cheers
No words needed. The piano tells the story that saturates your soul. It is absolutely breath taking!
This.
Hi Redhead, Iam 75 years old and i can not get enough of this guy. Love your reactions and you are very pleasant to the eye as well. God bless you my dear.
Wow, thank you!
Great reaction video. Ren is outrageously brilliant. Thanks.

Disco Doc's reaction tells the story of Callum; makes the song even more special...
I second this. Disco Doc needs to be required viewing for this one!
Even without lyrics, you can hear/feel Ren's memories, growing up, the good times, the accident, the grief and the sad acceptance. It's all in this song. I love it.
Excellence

I have run out of words to describe Ren and his music bt i guess it speaks for its self.Thanks i always enjoy your reactions appreciate you.
I appreciate that
Ren doing his thang... does NOT get better than that!!!
Hi Red, I do not think that we will ever stop being happily surprised by Ren. What a fantastic reaction Red and what a tribute by Ren to his friend. I am in my 70's and have listened to all of the greats from the past and put Ren right up there with the best.
He is such a treat for us!
This was like a instrumental story of their friendship, I usually don't mind about just instrumental music, but this was something else..
Ren is born for art. Indeed. This lad has talent indeed. Enjoyed your reaction, Red. 🫂 for your emotions. 😎
He was born to be one of the best, despite his chronic illnesses he continues to battle.
Thanks Red. Ren has created an incredible tribute to Callum. But in conveying those emotions in music alone he has given us each a tribute to all those we have lost. As such I tear up every time I hear this. It is an amazing piece of art from an amazing human being.
REN is the Mozart/Beethoven of our time. Nothing this guy can't do!
💯

I was crying within 30 seconds of this starting the first time i watched it. It's so beautiful.
Only Ren can just play the piano and make it so moving, a true tribute without any words, I think it’s really inspired to use the layers of sediment in the rocks that shows how long time is, Ren must move into doing scores for movies

Ren as always... so moving... so expressive.. such skill and authenticity 💕💔🥲

Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece sending big love from the UK ❤❤❤
Yes, I agree, that was beautiful. Amazing talent, amazing skill.
"Swiss Army Knife" is a good analogy...He raps, sings, acts, produces, writes, plays piano, guitar, bass, creates his own beats and backgrounds, and then mixes it all.
I hate this term since president of my city was killed by one guy with Swiss Army Knife
once again i was waiting for your reaction, he definately touches souls. and yours just beams
If you read in the comments of that video Ren explains how this piece came about and what it meant to him

I love this piece - so expressive even on the piano.
This was performed close to Drumheller, Alberta. Your sensitivity is greater than mine. I was just confused waiting for Ren to sing.
You are not alone. I watched others waiting for him to verbalize with confused looks on their faces. Hopefully, we all learn to savor the beauty given at the moment.
If you read about the inspiration behind the song I guarantee you you will tear up so much more 😘

Such a beautiful tribute to his friend Callum. This is such a beautiful piece, made all the more beautiful by the heart and meaning behind it.
Just in case nobody has told you today, You're amazing!

In the live chat Ren said he would like to do a Sublime retake!
That would be AWESOME!
Hell girl, you made me tear up again. Ren is in his own league.

Everyone has teared up over this one. 🫶🏼🐰🐷🤓
It was beautiful. Big hugs. ❤
🔥
I would absolutely love for him to release an entire album of instrumental only songs. It would just constantly be on repeat in my home.
This is magnificent playing so brilliant brought tears to my eyes ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂
Your hair is just so fckn gorgeous it makes the music even better! lol Wish you were my neighbour, but I'm sure youve heard that 100,000 xs before. So sexy how you catch your breath too. Tysm for sharing 😊
Amazingly beautiful tribute 🎹🎶💗 Love how this touches the soul with no words 💞

Exactly!!
" How Gorgeous is This " perfect words to explain the beauty of Ren's abilities. Loving that you have reached 20k, especially as an early follower!
Thank you so much!
This masterpiece is definitely a continuation of For Joe just expanded.
Swiss army knife of artists.. I like that.
awesome reaction as always
lovely
Awwww I love your reactions Red...Your love and passion for music always comes over so strongly in your reactions.
Thanks and congrats on 20k!
Thank you!
We all teared up Red ❤
Big up you on 20k! Happy birthday too Ren .
Mackay means son of fire, sweet.
I've watched the performance quite a few times and Ren once again comes up with something unexpected and amazing, what an artist.
HAPPY EASTER lovely lady ❤❤
Great reation thank you my friend.
Just when you think Ren can't spring any more surprises! On first listen I was waiting for the singing and then like you I was just mesmerised by his playing and the setting. I'm not a big fan of instrumentals generally but that was emotional even without knowing about his friend Callum. Cheers.
Beautiful tribute to his friend in the style of George Winston. Powerful and Perfect.
The location of the video is Drumheller Alberta, roughly and hour and half from Calgary where Ren is continuing to receive medical treatment.
feel parts of depeche mode "precious" on the instrument
Thank you for doing this one. ❤
You're welcome 😊
I don't know if you know the neo-classical composer Max Richter but this reminds me a lot of his work.

❤❤❤❤😢
💜🖤💜
Thank you.❤❤❤
You should try Ren and Liv Sangster collab busking st the waterfront.Magnificent compositional setting.
Another heartfelt reaction from a beautiful and genuine lady - thank you. He's not my favourite artist, but this piece was hauntingly beautiful.

LESSS GOOO
what a contrast with hearing this ,and NIGHTWISH.
I wish Ren wasn't so one dimensional. 🤣🤣 A beautiful piece. I love that he just makes whatever music he feels like. Can't wait for the new album.
Right...Ren is just a plain old ones trick pony. 😂Sad how only crap music is pushed and most of those artists are one trick ponies.

@@mattmid7012 Exactly 💯...great way of putting that.
Ren wrote the back story to this piece pinned in his video comments on his channel
oh by the way, it's pronounced Mack eye (it's Scottish)
Hi Red ❤
Hello!!!!
Hi love your reactions and seems like you like all sort of musics so would love you to check out OH Bla DI OH BLA DA by Mr Cowboy and any song from Richard Parker cheers
Thank you for that suggestion!

It’s a Renstrumantal?
Are you pausing this for a sublime shirt? Really?
Absolutely!! It gives an extra insight to his musical taste and influence. 😊
