    I... am not a good person. I watch these react videos for the panic. I'm at the 8:30 mark and I am looking forward to that moment when what you're experiencing is going to outstrip your faith in your ability to describe it and put it in context.
    At 9:58, you can see the shadow cast by Kyle's own imposter syndrome as it goes over his face. There's the moment when some of the surprise and joy leaks out and worry comes in. Don't feel called out, Kyle. You and your brother _are_ doing a great job in this video. This part of the song does the exact same thing to every artist who listens to it with intent to give their own perspective. I didn't learn to call it "the shadow cast by imposter syndrome crawling across their face" watching _this_ video. I've been doing this for days.
    It hits Eric's face ten seconds later. Same expression, actually. Definitely brothers in spirit.
    I'm not just watching emotional gore videos, though. I'm also here for that moment around 10:58 when Kyle is fully taken out of his job and is living in the moment. Glorying and believing in what he's watching. That's a universal part of the experience too, and it's even more fun than the panic.
    Alas, the best review for this song has already been written. It lives as a comment on the original video. "You will never be the next Jimmy Hendrix. You are already the first Ren."

    Ren is suffering with Lyme disease and has just flown out to Canada to receive treatment for the next 6-12 Months, Ren was misdiagnosed for years as having Bipolar disorder as his illness has not only affected his body but damaged his brain so he has suffered with episodes of Psychosis. Whilst receiving his treatment he is releasing this collection of art (I will not call it an album as it so much more) with this and many of his videos Ren does one take performances live which is incredible. If you want to dive further down the rabbit hole that is Ren I would highly recommend doing the Jenny’s tale, Screech’s tale and Violets tale (in that order) In my opinion this is the greatest trilogy story I have ever come across.

    I don't know if anyone will ever understand just how many lives Ren saved with this song. I watched as entire online communities came together to shine a light on all the things he brings up in this song, all the ignored mental and physical health issues people suffer through silently. Those communities have grown to do some wonderful things to this day. I remember finding this song myself. I had never heard him before. I was in a terrible place mentally, as so many were, and this piece gave me hope and life. He really is a beacon of hope for countless people around the globe. If this man doesn't make it into the history books, I will be severely disappointed in humanity.

I have even more respect for Ren because I am chronically unwell and have CF. Ren has pushed with all his might to produce his work. His body will feel heavy and flu like, no doubt 24/7. I doubt he sleeps well. It creates alot of anxiety and is mentally challenging. Chronic conditions are really hell to live with. He expresses that hell here and he can because he has been there.

    I'm 52 and I got sick in navy 91, as I've fought, raged , broke, pulled myself back up, then to some level accepted that my body is broken. Autoimmune illnesses rheumatoid arthritis sjogrens fibromyalgia dysautonomia p.o.t.s dercums disease hypogammaglobulinemia trigeminal neuralgia, seizures and complex chronic migraine. So many comorbidities too many to list. The song explains perfectly. In the beginning, you doubt it. Then you freak out then get pissed. The why me, depression. But as someone smart once said lol. " you never know how strong you are until you don't have a choice ". I'm so glad ren discovered it was Lyme disease and is getting treatment. Not knowing what is attacking you is a bad place. Dr the other day ( one I've been seeing 18 years said "yeah a medical student asked me how to describe Autoimmune illnesses to someone... I told him good thing, atleast it's not cancer. Bad thing, it's not cancer" I busted out laughing because although very dark humor it's perfect way. You realize when taking dozen tablets a day, infusions of chemical the nurses put on protective wear just to connect i.v,, that this is your life.
    Sick boi ren speaks about a drs visit and what's really going on inside the mind. Feelings that you keep to yourself. Some drs need new reminder of their oath " first do no harm" and understand that it isn't just physical harm they can cause.

    I heard this first 🤯 my second song was Sick Boi 😁 this guy is one of a kind and super talented. He does it all. Undiagnosed Lyme disease cased him to be bedridden for around 8 year with chronic pain and other issues. Enjoy the ride 😊

    I have listened to this song so many times and you have to watch it several times to really take in everything and appreciate the video. When he's fighting with the dark the lights are going off and on, the production put into this video takes it to the next level, then you take the lyrics, this is a full package song and is truly something special and so powerful. Gives me chills every time.

    This video is beautifully simple but its SO enthrallingly rich of a performance. Every facet of this performance was well polished and thoughtful and it's baffling how he sings, plays guitar, raps, acts out 2 characters brilliantly, has such a raw and powerful message, perfect execution, pacing, utilization of tension etc. I've seen more reactions to this song than I'm proud of and I'm always awe struck at the performance.

    Ren used to literally hear a voice when he was younger. He speaks about it in the comments of this video.
    It used to talk to him and put him down and tell him to do things.

    Great reaction… first time to your channel. Found myself watching all the reactions to this song/performance as it’s great to see when it hits people. A bit of a role reversal going on, Ren is introducing me to new reactors! Definitely a channel I will be revisiting 👍👍

    I just reacted to this yesterday! I was overwhelmed with so many emotions that I still can't quite put my finger on it completely. This, is Performance Art at it's finest! It hit HARD! Loved your reaction & break down. I am planning to do the trilogy next. I AM HOOKED! He is INSANELY talented and I love how he left everything out there for us to ponder. Ren is something so "Extra"- Talent like his doesn't come around very often. What I have noticed over the years is that those that suffer in silence, through physical or mental health crisis, tell the best stories. They have LIVED the pain and the shame and became stronger from it. THAT is what makes this so very special. A VICTORY! Cheers!

    This is the best video I have ever seen! If there were Oscars for this type of material, this would get one, and deservedly so. It is ridiculous, but I am frightened to watch other videos by Ren - I know I will, but I'll have to work myself up to it. This is art, this is truth, this is reality, this is genius - my respect goes to Ren.

Not sure I have ever seens something like it. i have gone on to watch it an untold amount of times. What I really take away is the enormous talent Ren has. I have seen his other vidoes since then and its all amazing. hes a unique talent.

    What a gift from Ren to us all. Finally a voice, a mirror reflecting life experiences in part or in whole, that we as human beings have struggled to face alone. It is through Ren, through this shared experience of Ren's making that we know we are far from alone. We are stronger now in these newly found numbers. Remembering who we truly are. Humans, simply being.
    Much love guys for this video and your reactions were far from surprising. We have just witnessed the art of a once in a generation trail blazer. To love me is to love we. Peace friends of humanity

    So glad you reacted to this song. Ren is on another level. His music and lyrics are sooo captivating. It makes it hard to do reactions because you don’t want to “pause”; you want it to just keep playing 😉. He is such a masterful story teller. You’ll see what I mean when you react to the tale of Jenny, screech, violet 🤯
    Can’t wait for that one. ✌🏻❤️😊

    Reaction to this video is classic! Just saw his video this week for the first time, also never heard of him before so I went down the rabbit hole of RUclips regarding this dude. He's fuckin great! For sure a performance that stands above most shit you see nowadays. Live recording, raw and powerful lyrics, dope guitar skills...it's amazing.
    ! - You guys should really check out Money Game and his trilogy Jenny's Tale, Screech's Tale, Violet's Tale. You won't be disappointed, promise!

    Do Jennys tale, Screethch"s tale and Violets tail in that oeder. its a trilogy. It will blow you away. Then do Chaulk Outlines.Shit do it all. Welcome to the Ren Gough Rabbit Hole. Your find out about his illness and his tragic story that is finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. Hes actully in the hospital again right now. Id say pray for him, but just enjoy his art and share it

    This is one of the best reactions out of the 100s I've watched so far. I enjoy the surprise each review has and wtf expressions when Ren starts with the oooos. To watch your faces change as you get drawn into his message is awesome. You both had jaws dropped for a lot of the song, and I loved that. To come full circle at the end oooos when you're rocking out with Ren, the wtf is long forgotten, is perfect. Rens message is powerful and is going to help millions of people who are suffering from physical and mental illnesses.

    Great reaction, hits hard doesn't it, and leaves you sitting there like a stunned mullet, with the realisation your crying. and the thought that God has sent an Angel to make the dark diminish.
    profound, and to touch the souls of kids, and 70 year olds, and everyone in between.... is incredible.
    In all my 52 years I don't think ive ever seen such a diverse reaction to a song. From all generations, to all types of genre. A master class in poetry, skills in the playing of a nylon strung classical guitar, in the cinematography, in singing.
    Check out 'Violets Tales' for guitar skills, omfg incredible, did a little Eddie Van Halen Eruption stylee in that song.
