Just him on The Piano SMH I never thought any young man besides my son could ever bring tears to this old man’s eyes, I will always from this day end my comment with saying Ren is a Gift to Us
Speaking as a man of a certain age, it’s so hard to deal with emotions generally, but when you get Ren just ripping away all levels of composure then it doesn’t give you much chance to bury your feelings. You’re not alone with the tears x
I can relate, 51 and rarely show emtions. But Ren throws the onion ninja's in the room every single time. And the weird part is I love it and to see more reactions.
This song hits me hard for another reason, i have a son called Joe who i 'lost' to his mother, we split and she took him from me, so i know it's not the same loss but it feels it sometimes.
I cry on many Ren songs even though I've heard them 10 times.... (just the sad ones, some I've heard at least 30 times....) "Made me face the world with courage... and that's all because of you". That broke me.... This song hits even more if you read his community page on how he went back to his home town for the first time in a long while and played this for Joe's family... I cannot imagine the feelings felt that day...
He helped me open my emotion and soul on so many forgotten and supressed trauma. I was a cold dead person, looking for something.. I didn't realise I was searching for myself the last 30 years of my life... Ren is this generation's Kurt Cobain. At least it feels like that to me
i used to be comfortably numb .... until i found ren about a year ago. all the years of keeping my grief inside , just flowed out , and its the best thing that has happened . it has helped me to let go of all the sorrow. thank you Ren sincerely.
#youarenotalone Ren said this after visiting and showing Joe's parents this video.... "It made me really realise I guess what I've always known. Music is far more than music. It's a channel of communication for the things that are impossible to say. It's a bridge between the living and the dead. It's a way to stay immortal. It's a way to resurrect the dead. It's a universal language. It cuts down barriers of the parts of you which are encapsulated in steel cast iron. It allows frozen rivers to thaw and become un-stagnant. I owe myself, my life, everything I am to music. Music is the closest thing to god I know. I am so grateful to be doing what I do and to tap into this mystic force. My life, my energy, myself, I eternally devote to it". Ren is right music reach's places, it crosses barriers, it has no boundaries and it is a tool that can heal even those who don't know they are broken... Take comfort in being able to enjoy his music and experience the emotions, but for one moment of fragility we may not even be here to do so.
That last part was from Freckled Angels, from his album of the same name. Definitely worth a listen, although that's kind of redundant as everything Ren has done is worth a listen.
I lost my birthfather to suicide recently. The hardest part of all these beautiful songs from Ren, for me, is how much I wish I could share them with him. He would have loved Ren's incredible talent, his love for the downtrodden, his unique approach to emotional expression through song. Thank you for sharing with us, I always appreciate you sharing your own emotional expression with us through your reactions.
I started crying even before I watched this Ren performance. I truly believe there isn't one part of this beautiful soul that doesn't know how to be a human being. He brings out the best in people, and that can only be a magnificent thing in this current climate. Thank you for your reaction, T.T. Love and peace to you.
Love your hair ! A beautiful, personal song that resonates with us all. Not just because we may have experienced things like that in our lives, but also because so many of us are now familiar with Ren's story, and the pain that he has gone through that our empathy is genuine. Ren's greatest gifts to us (apart from his wonderful music) is that he has taught us to empathise with each other, to value each other, to promote conversations on mental health that will help each other and, ultimately, to recognise that there is always hope
This was beautifully done Joe would be proud the hardest part for me was when he was saying he has done things that were hard all because of Joe. Perfect tribute x Love your new hair do it really suits you x
You should listen to the live version of Freckled Angels that he performed a few months after Joe's passing. That song hit me harder than anything I'd ever heard befor. Big hugs from the extended family❤
I always look foward to your ren reactions.. thanks for opening yourself up to us.. My best friend took his own life also. This one hits home like the last one did. On a lighter note, Hope you have a fantastic holiday wknd
I realize we don't know each other but i thank God you are still here to share this reaction with us. Your strength is unparalleled. I gain strength from each tear that rolls down your precious face.
I like your reactions to Ren, I love seeing true emotions, so many reactors seem fake. I want to say this just once, you're so damn cute :) and your hair cut looks amazing!!! I wish you the best. as for Ren, he's just amazing, I hope he can stay true to himself as this journey takes him to new well deserved heights.
This was filmed on Scotsman’s Hill in Calgary overlooking the Saddledome. I have watched fireworks from here many times. What a beautiful tribute to his friend ❤️🩹
I came across Ren a few months ago. I first heard Suicide two weeks ago. A week and a half ago I had to cut my neighbour down from the noose. Unfortunately I was also too late. Life is so strange sometimes. Ren's music has had a big impact on me.
You have a beautiful heart!! You seem so sincere. I am on the train and when I see your tears makes me😢. Thats why I enjoy Ren so much because he is so open and sincere also!!
I haven’t seen you upload in a while & hope you’re doing okay ❤️ As soon as I heard ‘Troubles’ by Ren, I couldn’t wait to check out YOUR reaction. Now I’m a bit worried & pray you’re doing well. Much love 🫶🏻
Tanya I'm new to Ur channel but I have to say u have such a warm personality and comes across as someone extremely genuine. Iv enjoyed Ur take on Rens work immensely. Stay strong. Ur a lovely girl.💙 Best wishes from Ireland🇮🇪
Oh Tachy we been through this before haha. Dunno if I can handle you on this one so stopped at the beginning. Ah man I told you to come back with more Ren so ok Ill grab a tissue lets go (edit after) hey hun you did good. Struggling with health right now so this really helps me again. Great reaction, you looking good gal love the hair. More ren please but maybe we do some more fun stuff.
Another heartfelt reaction! Ren has made many, myself included, open up shit things they didn't know they needed to open up about. Truly the Illest of our Time.
First thank you for letting the whole video play... Some videos like these and artists like him need not be paused... It was heart-wrenching but genius at the same time, thank you
Wonderful to see you Tanya! Your empathy is a thing of beauty! thank you! Life is truly a tear and a smile and it seems that Ren is stronger even though the sadness remains. Much love and peace friend🌿💔
Ren is breaking down the prison cell of repressed emotions that we human beings hide inside. He's a musical and lyrical genius, a word smith, able to unlock those painfully secured doors that so need to be ripped opened to allow years or repressed emotions to flow out. Ren is a gift to humanity, as we all are, but so few of us let our light shine too bright, for fear of revealing those hidden feelings and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable. But Ren has given us the freedom to remove these limitations and shine as bright as the midday sun.
I feel like the bottle was a metaphor for Joe, being ‘lightening’, which you can’t catch in a ‘bottle’. Like, Joe was too much for this world, so you can’t hold him. Sorry, it sounded better in my head. 🤦🏻♀️
Hi beautiful Tanya, this is a new song because You Tube force him to change name of the song Suicide,he write the new song For Joe, but intro of this song started with last part of Suicide song, big hello, big kiss, big hug from Serbia 🍀♥️🙏
Just him on The Piano SMH I never thought any young man besides my son could ever bring tears to this old man’s eyes, I will always from this day end my comment with saying Ren is a Gift to Us
I agree with you brother! He's just so good at getting into your feelings and so talented!
Speaking as a man of a certain age, it’s so hard to deal with emotions generally, but when you get Ren just ripping away all levels of composure then it doesn’t give you much chance to bury your feelings. You’re not alone with the tears x
I'll be 50 this year. I cry with every reactor, even after seeing the video multiple times.
I can relate, 51 and rarely show emtions. But Ren throws the onion ninja's in the room every single time.
And the weird part is I love it and to see more reactions.
This song hits me hard for another reason, i have a son called Joe who i 'lost' to his mother, we split and she took him from me, so i know it's not the same loss but it feels it sometimes.

62 yr. old male here, and Ren makes me feel and cry. And I am so thankful for that.
I don't know how any person isn't changed permanently after hearing Ren. He's like a reset button for the soul to get you reattached to your emotions.
He helped me open my emotion and soul on so many forgotten and supressed trauma.
I was a cold dead person, looking for something.. I didn't realise I was searching for myself the last 30 years of my life...
Ren is this generation's Kurt Cobain. At least it feels like that to me
Beautifully said. 👍
i used to be comfortably numb .... until i found ren about a year ago. all the years of keeping my grief inside , just flowed out , and its the best thing that has happened . it has helped me to let go of all the sorrow. thank you Ren sincerely.

I lost it when he started playing Freckled Angels 😇
That last part was from Freckled Angels, from his album of the same name. Definitely worth a listen, although that's kind of redundant as everything Ren has done is worth a listen.
The live version from 11 years ago is gut wrenching.
The eternal dance is like laughing and crying in one. A heart dance... So thank you for dancing with us.

Love and peace to you.
Beautiful. How he transmutes pain into art is real alchemy. Now I want to hear a piano album from him. ❤
Ren making us all cry again. 😢 Heartbreaking, emotional, beautiful tribute. 💛 Take care.
Joe was definitely with him during this giving him the courage he needed Beautiful Tribute

Big hugs from the extended family❤
This time he said indestructable as Hell.
We all cried for Ren.
....my heart's bursting, every time I hear this beautiful tribute...this is pure LOVE...🥺🩵🥹 THANK YOU, Ren...🙏🏼
One of the many things I love about Ren's music is how he connects different songs with each other. It's like listening to chapters in a book.
YOU HEARING THE MESSAGE.. MAKES ME HAVE FAITH... .. THANK YOU 😊 🙏
You're amazing. I know I say it a lot, but keep being you. Ren needs you too. We all do.
We are never alone it just feels like it in the moment bless you

I feel like the bottle was a metaphor for Joe, being ‘lightening’, which you can’t catch in a ‘bottle’. Like, Joe was too much for this world, so you can’t hold him. Sorry, it sounded better in my head. 🤦🏻♀️
