This makes me think about the pendulum swinging. The brighter the light the darker the shadow?
bruh that terrorist line... that's deep... man has so many different layers in his music.. this song tho is about god but he isn't just preaching to everyone to believe in god he's worded this so well so it can be liked by all faiths
🔥❤️💯❤️🔥
Or none
Yes, that is definitely my favourite line from this song, the way it puts everything in perspective... Ren is such a philosopher.
That line is so powerful... The only difference between a "terrorist" and a "freedom fighter" is in the eye of the oppressor....
Nah, is overrated line.
In his interview with Justin Hawkins, Ren spoke about how many different things he tried to ease his suffering, including seeing a Shaman, and seeing an Exorcist. He reached out in every direction and to multiple 'Gods' and asked questions about why his life was so hard.
I can’t think of a song writer who has more vocal religious iconography in their music than Ren. There are so many biblical references in his music that it’s extraordinary.
@@supertuscans9512 I think part of that is because he often weaves it in as pop-culture rather than something as loaded as 'faith'. He uses Noah and Genesis the same way he might reel off Tom Cruise films or Bond references, and I think part of that is because he's said he loves the stories and folkloric mythology of religion more than anything. He is respectful but not reverential, which gives him more flexibility, and I like the fact that here and in Hi Ren he refers to 'gods' plural as well as more traditional Christian 'his hand/his plan' imagery. It allows people to pick up or put down those elements to suit their own beliefs.
Insomnia is needed next!
Ren❤❤❤❤
This song/video is heartbreaking in its honesty from Ren. I don't think a person has really LIVED, until they've (unfortunately) reached this point in their lives where they call/cry out for help. To feel that Unbearable PAIN, whether mental, physical or emotional, is part of our human existence. How YOU, as a human being, personally respond to that pain, is what makes you special and unique.
I believe, if you've lived long enough, every one of us will get to where Ren was when he wrote this song. The problem is, in this day and age of "Online Presence", most people only Show the Positive sides of their lives. No one wants to show their "perfect" life imploding for the whole world to see. So, we look around, and see that everyone else has their "stuff" together; why is OUR life falling apart?
It's gotten to the point, that when we DO see someone's life falling apart, it's even that much more shocking. Steven Crowder's life is blowing up in front of our eyes, and he's being shown to NOT be the "Perfect Example" of what a man is, and it's even that much more shocking. The reality is......when your life really does come crashing down around you, even if you have 3 million, 5 million, 10 million followers; in the End, more than likely you are almost completely alone.
Not only he was in really bad pain both physically and psychologically, but he thought he wasn't gonna live for much longer. After I learned that, the line in "Hi Ren" when he says "and maybe when I'm gone I'll be remembered, for doing something great with myself" hits so much differently, at first I just thought he didn't expect to ever become famous, not in his lifetime at least, but now I know that at the time he hadn't started all his treatments yet and so he was literally talking about leaving a legacy. Makes also a lot more sense as to why he's so wise, when you think you only have a couple years left to live at barely 30 years of age, you think deep about a lot of things. And after all of that, he's still making music, still fighting, still finding happiness. It's honestly such a big inspiration for me, because when I feel like something is impossible to do because my depression tells me so, I think of all that he overcame, and suddenly I have more strength. And for that I'll forever be thankful to him.
I love rens raw honesty in his lyrics, many will resonate with what he's saying. Please review born in the 90s by ren, it's upbeat and different from his norm. Love you guys ❤❤ stay safe
I think the title is 'Ren - 1990s' but I get where you are coming from cos the chorus is so damn catchy!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
So happy you mentioned the 90s. It's one of my faves especially the version he is just back porch
Good morning y'all here for you guys and #Ren always ❤️
#Ren let's goooo 💙🔥💙
#HOG also 🤟
💙💙💙
NF has a similar song called Oh Lord that would really make you think. It can be listened to out of order. It wouldn't ruin the "Journey"
I love NF’s Oh Lord! Agree…
Ren's 'Dear God' is the message we all pen at some point in our lives. There is always a point--even if you perhaps don't believe in God now--where you will reach and question. This makes me think of 'Hi Ren' where HOPE counters the devil inside Ren. My belief is God is in everyone and every being and our struggle for balance is true LIFE. Look inside yourself.
Thank you guys and good morning. Thank you for starting my day with Ren. Even if another sad one. Got my sunglasses ready.
❤️💯❤️
Of course we have both light/dark, good/evil. For all fall short of Glory. Good job guys.
I love the double on the line searching for prophets/profits, my faith it is paper thin.
This is so good guys thank you loved it ❤❤❤❤❤
Hopsin also has a dear god track, only his is titled Ill Mind of Hopsin 7.
Ren, The Great Bard
The great bard indeed!! 👍🏾. - C -
Great reaction as always Cedric and Brian! I understood where Ren was coming from. I've known many with the same thoughts. I was blessed to have my faith my entire life. I'll be 49 in a couple weeks. I had extreme abuse at a young age from my biological mother. I then was raised by my wonderful father. Who then got sick and taken from me. I've lost all family. (Besides husband, children and grandkids) Watched people die so cruel like and in suffering. But still I don't blame God. The way I am see things is I know I will be in a beautiful afterlife, God always provides for me on earth. It might not be what I want but I get what I need. When children suffer, that is the hardest for me. I remember my oldest son who is 31 now, ask me when he was real young..why does God allow starvation, death and abuse to children. I told him God does not allow it, the evil on earth does. He said but God is powerful and could stop it. I tried explaining to him that God does not interfere. It is for the faithful to keep strong and know in the end, all good will overcome.
❤️💯❤️
I appreciate y’all so much! You’re not just a reaction channel, in my opinion. ❤
Thank you, Grace! Hope you have an incredible Friday, and an even better weekend, my friend. - C -
Ren has part of a twitch sesdion in his livestreams regarding Hi Ren on the release date. He talks a bit about where he was at emotionally and spiritually at the time.
Got to remember too that ad wise as he is, this was his early 2os. Can you remember back that far? The normal angst PLUS having to deal with daily pains and disability. No wondet he cries out.
One of my favorites is Pocket Full of Pain on the Freckled Angel album.
Another great song from Ren. Love reaction channels ❤ This one is class!
Great reaction. Another super powerful song by REN. I can relate to the suffering he was in, and am just so grateful he is doing better❤
I love y’all’s reactions!!! I haven’t seen your other stuff now I’m curious!! Gonna go check it out!! ❤❤❤❤much love
Every single time I listen to this song, the pain in his voice, brings out the maternal instinct in me & the tears start flowing, maybe because my own son is around the same age & struggling with his own mental health issues.
Thank you Michael! I think this song resonates with a lot of men who are struggling with what it means to be a “man“; fatherhood; family; work, etc., etc.
- C -
@@CedricandBrian Lol, it's Michaela, I am 100% female ;) but yes, I agree with you re men, especially young men. I live in the USA but moved here from my hometown in Wales UK (I had a business in Bangor) my son still lives in Wales. I am always referring him to Ren, I too feel, his music is inspirational to anyone who is struggling, especially young men who can see themselves in him.
@@michaelaghmalone-hansen5656 My apologies Michaela. I need to slow down a bit when responding to comments, and thank you for verifying that you’re 100% female 😉. I don’t know if you saw our video where I took the ancestry.com DNA test; but it came back that I am 1% Wales, so we may be distant cousins. Once again, thank you for watching and make it a great day.

So silly to think our tiny struggles matter. We barely dust in the wind. ❤
Great song and great reaction! Haven't heard this one from Ren.😎🤜🤛
I started watching reactions over a year ago when That Singer Reactions reacted to Australias best voice John Farnham and hip hop artists Hilltop Hoods and I was hooked. Then Hi Ren was realesed and the rabbit hole got blown open after listening to his entire catalouge I needed more so I searched Ren reactions and found Black Pegasus, knox Hill and many others and finally you guys popped up. Your reactions are raw emotions and relate because of your own personal struggles. Struggles that far to many of us have to deal with daily.
First time watching y'all was Ren's Ren react vid and this gal has been hooked ever since. I love how you don't just react to the artistry of the songs, but you dig deep into the heart and soul of the music. With some of the statements you made in this react vid, I'd love to hear your thoughts on something I just discovered myself... Watch the World Burn by Falling in Reverse. OR... one of my all time faves Time and Time Again by Chronic Future!
I think God answered his prayers.. Being on Every reaction channel.. I’d say.. I hope Rens outlook on life changed.. Because he is so talented and he is helping So many people out there that are struggling.. The world needs him.. Great Reaction guys 🙏🏻
Y'all kill it❤️ Ren has so much talent it's unreal. I hope he's doing better now. Animal acoustic is really good y'all should check it out.
Have you heard Ren's "Humble"? Based on your response to "Dear God", it would be interesting for us all. It's

SPOILER

another song about pain and life and fate that I think people who have lived through chronic suffering can relate to. It's a bit more pop/upbeat than his usual, and features Eden Nash. They also collaborated on "Ocean" which is my current Ren favorite (alongside "Power").
Wow! That sounds very interesting Lisa, and we just may have to give that a listen. Thank you for the recommendation my friend and for taking the time to watch our channel. - C -
In combat there are very few non-believers! LOL
I love this one. See you guys in a few hours for animal flow live?
See ya there 2 more hours
🤘🐷🐷🤟
Can't wait (but will be holding my breath waiting lol)for you to watch Tom's Dear God definitely going to be a...
🤯
🙏 Moment. Amen
Great Reaction guys!! Should have a listen to Ren - Diazepam also Ren - Freckled Angel (song he wrote about his best friend who passed away.
Awesome!! We love recommendations because we wouldn’t be aware of most of these artists, and songs, if it wasn’t for people suggesting them. We uploaded a reaction to ‘Freckled Angels’ a few weeks back (see link below.) and I’ll save your comment in the event we react to ‘Diazepam.’ Thank you for the support, my friend, and make it a great day. - C -

I love listening to you guys. I wish you guys had a podcast. I could listen to you both 1-2 hours a few days a week. I love how practical Brian is and how spiritual Cedric is. When you talk, Cedric, I can really hear the teacher in you. What subject did you teach and why don't you teach anymore?
🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥 an the s/o 🙏Thank you
Y'all r doing good $#!+ with these Ren reacts, I feel. He's a breath of fresh, in a world that has seemingly lost the ability to dig deep, and express things outside of the current trends. Don't be ashamed of reacting to this guy, cause he's casting a light out, into so much.... Darkness? $#!+ness? Idiocracy? This "Present Age" needs this man, more than most of us know. Thx2U2.....
Thank you, my friend; we appreciate that!! It’s really a challenge to capsulize Rens songs into a 20 minute video but that is part of his brilliance. Thank you for taking the time to watch our channel.
- C -
I can relate to this and “forgot how to be me” by Ren and chinchilla when I was going through chemo last year. I prayed more than I had in ‘ever’ and I also forgot how to be me.
Keep the faith but row for shore
Just by asking these questions in his 20s, Ren proves himself to be a very spiritual and wise person. And with his vast talent he does it in such an artistic way, which penetrates souls.
Oh this is one of my favourites ❤
It was definitely a great song to react to Susan. Thank you for watching our channel my friend.
- C -
@@CedricandBrian oh it's absolutely my pleasure, I love your channel and being a Brit I love Ren , although he's a Welsh boy as you know I am from the south coast area and know Brighton extremely well ,as my daughter lived there from the age of 18 after she moved there for uni ,she now in Hove , just a stone's throw as it's actually called Brighton and Hove ... it's the place to be when you are young! They call it little London...
Hey guys, great video as always! I am unsure if you have reacted to his latest track Animal Flow, but Ren JUST dropped a live acoustic version of it and wow! It's is great... never did I think he could pull off a cover of that song acoustically, but I stand corrected and I am ALLLLLL here for it!
Love this song guys. Keep up the good work.✌️🤘🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you William!! There are a lot of content creators out there, and we appreciate you taking the time to watch our channel. 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏾. - C -
New Sub
Really enjoyed the reaction
A little bit about myself I'm 54 years old and since I was 19 I've suffered with Fibromyalgia and Muscle Fatigue Syndrome so I'm in constant pain everyday and I will be honest I'm not religious in any way but I've found myself at times if there is a God asking why did he give me this life of constant suffering and another question I also find myself asking if reincarnation is real am I being punished for sins I commented in a previous life
I know these questions will never be answered but still I sometimes ask
So I get this song I think we all look for answers throughout our lives and that will never change because we are human beings and it's in our nature
Always amazes me how overtly religious many Americans seem to be, and they are confused when the majority of those outside the USA aren't! Here in the UK the biggest difference is that we seperate politics / law / education from religion. You have to opt into a religious education. Just 27% of the UK believe in god(s). Ren's been through a lot and has openly talked about turning to any religion he can to seek solace or comfort from his pain (physical & neurological) from Christianity to Shamanism. Life is short, believe in what you will, but please don't assume others think the same. You guys are great reactors don't get me wrong. I just personally hate all religion, as in the man made self-selving bullsh!t spouted. Ren seems to stand for lifting others up and connecting regardless of faith, ethnicity, sexuality, gender etc. Infact the only faith I have is in humanity...and the only thing close to religion?....music. It's universal and unifying.
Sorry Matt, I’m not a religious guy, but having your faith in humanity alone will let you down. Not sure how old you are, but humanity doesn’t have a good track record. I used to be pretty agnostic, but I’m growing out of it. - B -
Yay, Cedric, that was Pseudo-Dionysius! He went further and argued that, since good is divine as is being, nothing that exists can be fully evil, because that would mean fully being without the light that is creation. Gothic architecture was built as a theology in stone for the the definition of light as the divine good, and the light shining through the stained glass window of a medieval church are designed to be inspired and illuminated by that divine light. The colourful reflection on tge floor and tge space in between would thus also become inspired place.
I always felt like this was a counterpart to "Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip - A Letter From God to Man", which was released in 2007/8. Scroobius Pip is a British spoken word artist/poet that started to put his words over electronic beats by Dan Le Sac creating an amazing fusion of Hip Hop, poetry and electric beats. They're a small rabbit hole that is well worth is exploring!!
❤
If you haven't already, watch some videos of Rens band The Big Push. Shows another different side to him. They have music videos on their channel for some really good original tracks (such as Dignity, Precious, Why My Woman etc) and there are a few videos of them doing covers whilst busking also.
good and evil are human constructs...there's what we agree on as a society to benefit us and propagating the species and as a social species, pack animals, we lay down laws
God gave us free will. It is up to us what we do with it.
Ren Dominoes
I like that Ren pointed out that there have been wars and violence in the name of God and religion. Because I've never heard of any spiritual people starting wars and committing violence in the name of spirituality. Anyways basing off of Brian's comment about spiritual people. It sounded like he doesn't know much about spirituality. Because spiritual people believe in good and evil, just like religious people do. Also spiritual people believe that people have good and evil in them. So Brian unless I misheard you. You said that spiritual people should read about the good and bad things that have happened in history. Well I think that you should read more about spirituality and what spiritual people believe. Oh fun fact, Hinduism is the oldest religion in the world. Which means Hinduism is older than Christianity. And Hindu people tend to consider themselves spiritual people. By the way I'm not Hindu and I'm not religious. But I am a spiritual person and I do in God. Brian I just don't like the comment you made about spiritual people.
Great video. I would say that you might want to rethink what it means to believe something. It is not a choice one makes. You either believe something or you do not. I do t know anyone who doesn't believe in a higher power based on how they want to live their life.
Heyhey hey morning seent
🤣❤️💯
Also react to life is funny by ren from the same album
Also a lot of people weren't necessarily raised knowing that they should have God in their life. So it's not that they go to him when times are tough, they just kind of try to discover him at that time. Idk
That’s an awesome comment Jessica!! You’re absolutely correct in saying that most people can’t go to a God who they have never been introduced to, or established a personal relationship with.
That’s why I think it’s a beautiful thing when agnostics, atheists, etc., etc. instinctively reach out to Him in times of trouble because, in my personal opinion, we have this innate desire to worship, and acknowledge, our Creator.
Again, you’re absolutely right my friend, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to watch our channel and leave a comment. - C -
A belief is a conclusion one arrives at. It doesn't matter how one arrives at their beliefs because a belief requires zero explanation to be or exist. You and you alone decide in your beliefs. Faith can be arrived at but unlike a belief faith resides in the foundation of hope. Like a belief faith requires zero explanation to be and again is yours alone to choose should you choose as such. Faith is often associated with expressing one's position to, or relationship with what one believes when pertaining to a higher deity, or God. An oath of sorts to bolster one's commitment to their chosen belief. Neither have any governing attributes or rules of language tying their use exclusively to God or a higher deity when the subject. You can hold a belief in anything and have faith in everything should you choose to and no one can stop you doing so. What you choose will be real and true to you. You may choose to have no beliefs and faith in nothing at all. Again, your choice and no one can stop you and this also will be real and true to you. So now getting to the point of all this I ask,
What is it you really believe in and what is it you really have faith in? Only one word and you all know the answer. You know the answer so much better than anything else you know. It is written above in plain sight. It is you and you alone who will know that you are correct when you know it is you. I have faith in you, I believe in you. Just as I believe in and have faith in me too. This much I know to be true
Twenty one pilots "ode to sleep"
Ive been in a foxhole as an atheist
Good on you 👍🏾 - C -
Grace or no grace
Can I ask that you don't equate MacDonald w/ Ren? Seriously, one is full of vile spite and hate for what appears to be damn near everything that doesn't glorify himself, the other wants people to live and build each other up, they're so incredibly different in perspective that even mentioning them in the same sentence is offensive.
Dear God. Like 2 thousands of them. Which one?
It was fairly well worded, but the phrasing could be better, and something else added to keep the interest, key changes, a synth solo or breakdown. 5/10
Avenged Sevenfold - Dear God 😅
didnt capitalise god? which of the thousand sof gods are you pissed of about ? lol
No one is pissed. Just making an observation that the ‘G’ in God, or Yahweh (YHWH), is capitalized. I was personally referring to the God of the Bible. Thank you for watching our channel. - C -
you have that backwards... cold is just the absence of heat. darkness is just the absence of light.. you can take a light into darkness but you cant take dark into light. The idea is then proposed that good and evil work similar. Evil is just the absence of good. But, I contest that this is an arbitrary abstraction and is inaccurate based on the fact that both heat and light are measurable quantities while good is not. You might as well say that Good is just the absence of evil, which is more appro po if you really consider it. Many would say that they both have their own scales and levels to be measured by, separate and distinct..... but I, personally, believe that neither actually exist. What you qualify as good and I qualify as good and another person calls good are all different, either slightly or widely in areas.... and if there is no objective consensual 'good' and only millions of subjective concepts, then it doesn't exist outside our perception and isn't actually a thing... merely a portion of our individual experience along with our likes and dislikes, which we claim not to impose on others and give wide berths to when we speak about them. preferences, really.
I’ll have to listen to it again because we uploaded this a while back but I thought I said cold is the absence of heat; and darkness is the absence of light, but I’ll check it out again. Thanks for watching our channel. - C -
That comment is ridiculous. No atheists in foxholes is very snobbish to say.
It’s not snobbish. It’s just an analogy to illustrate the point that 99% of people won’t acknowledge the fact that they need God in their lives, until a situation arises where they actually need him. You are in the 1%, and should be commended for that. Thank you for watching our channel. - C -
Never have understood religion.
Does not God love the drug addict? What if his addiction is where he found God?
Those last lines i have prayed please either take my suffering or take me?
Hi Cedric, I'm being a pedant here, but you don't measure heat by the absence of cold, nor light by the absence of darkness. Those are both nulls, a lack of action, which is the eventual default given entropy. The bit that worried me was you said here's the keys, but there will be repercussions, but that implies punishment engendering an atmosphere of fear, whereas using the word consequences doesn't place yourself in a position of judgement, it says that the subject should take responsibility. Sorry if this comes off as overly confrontational, that's not intended, was just that that phrasing really jumped out at me having heard similar in the past
Love it!!! I appreciate your response my friend, and don’t ever worry about being confrontational with me because you’ve come off as extremely polite, congenial, and just expressing your point of view.
In short, I was saying, God has given us free will, but there will still be consequences for our actions.
I can leave my house right now, and go rob the local bank; and God will forgive me if I ask Him to…. but I’ll still serve time in jail. (At least, we used to but now it seems the judicial system will ascertain how much I really needed the money before handing down punishment 🤷🏽♂️😉)
In all sincerity, I appreciate you taking the time to comment, because Lord knows I don’t have all the right answers, and I would be a sad, sorry individual if I couldn’t take the time to entertain, and respect, another persons point of view.
- C -
@@CedricandBrian That's all good, glad you understood it was a question not an accusation. Thank you for the response. I'm English and maybe it's just slightly different uses of words, but yeah "repercussions" seems very different to "consequences" to my ears. I definitely hear your point about how the judiciary seems more about money than justice these days, we don't have as many privately managed jails as you guys yet, but it does feel that slavery is never far from the door, just always transferred from one group to another. Have a cracking day, and cheers for the responses, have enjoyed watching the pair of you dive down the Ren rabbithole. That said tell Brian he doesn't need to stick his shades on, we're all allowed to have emotional responses, this is a safe space
Looking thru ya phone not good.5 mins in 😬
I guess we’ll have to work on that, and improve. Thanks. - C -
Oh boy, quoting Dennis Prager....... yikes... otherwise, good reaction.
Why yikes?
@@CedricandBrian Dennis Prager and Prager U push a massive amount of ultra conservative viewpoints and disinformation. I really don't like them.
None of there stuff is disinformation. It’s all been fact checked and nothing is ever found to be false. Also, what are you calling ultra conservative? Have you ever actually listened to it?
It's so bad it's funny. You're so uptight. You even check yourself when you start to groove and enjoy it.... then you go off the rails! This song is not for you. It's so profound and you're missing it
