I’m a 71 year old woman who loves REN and his music. This song is one of my favorites. You did a great reaction at understanding the song and appreciating the lyrics.
Illness is my teacher It broke my smile My bones feel old Here lies the body of Ren This lyric video just released. Song part of album release Starts with the day Ren fell inti psychosis at 25, 6 years into illness. This song is the intro to Sick Boi album and got carried away!😂 Not enough Os in smooth!❤
Graphically it is intense... it imposes itself, it enters through the eyes without asking for permission imposing itself through the color and brightness of the graphics and typographic size, and delivers the message without excuses... Do you want to hear it?!... Read it?!... Feel it?!... So there you have it!... Wonderful! Thanks
I really like how you placed the words. Ren really is on another level. As a non native speaker: I have the feeling that the flashy images really shows how the pain feels - like a spark or a lightning bolt (for example how some people describe migraine)
This is on his Sick Boi Album released in October and placed at #1 Album UK charts Above Drake and Rick Astley He ran a uniquely creative promotion beforehand which was so clever and fun Appreciate your reaction.
I love your insights into Ren. Your encyclopaedic knowledge of music shines when you get to talk about how he weaves in so many different influences. I think the reason he manages to make the experience universal is that he never excludes anyone. He doesn't day "I had it worse than you". He says "my life has been hard and I know you've had hard times too". He leaves room for our pain when revealing his own.
This is my favorite song, right now. I listen to it every morning. The description of himself on the kitchen floor, I can identify with because I also have a chronic pain disorder (though I've always made it to bed or the couch). But the way the song progresses from there, it gives me energy, and the will to keep fighting Thanks for the reaction!
I loved the reaction. I have such a great appreciation of Ren. He is the next genre bender. Loved your analysis of it. Also happy to see you using your cup❤.
great reaction as always dude! what i like about this song musically is the number of flow switches it has, as well as the fact that ren has multiple different rap 'voices/tones' that he uses on different occasions, and to hold all of that together into a single song that flows between each is superb!
I am so impressed that you recognised the Welsh from Welcome to Wrexham! So pleased that the show is gaining tract in the US! New sub here from a Welsh speaker who’s been trying to keep this beautifully poetic minority language alive since I was born, or that’s how it feels at least! Diolch o Gymru! ❤🏴
Funny enough my Uncle is a huge Genesis fan. He's seen them and Phil solo every time they've ever been to Chicago. This is the only rap track I've ever caught him bopping his head to when I'm cooking dinner. When I asked him why he liked it since he hates rap he said he liked the beat 😂😂
A very thorough reaction and analysis of this song thank you. Yes Ren singing in Welsh at the beginning his native tongue. Well spotted from Welcome to Wrexham 🎶🧡🔥👩🏻🦰
Loved the reaction... again. Great perspective as always. However, "good Genesis" is Gabriel - at least for me. I'm over 60 so that might explain it. 😀
So, if you haven't heard seven sins that means you haven't listened to his album Sick Boi released on Oct 13th! Seven Sins is the first song on that album. This release of the song is the lyric video for the song, but the song itself was released a few months ago. All 18 songs on that album are bangers. Listen to the whole album!!!
Love your REN reactions! He is such an amazing artist in so many ways from his writing to his production…..then he delivers with his musical and singing talent 🔥
I think it is his best track. So much poetry in a small amount of time. I live with cronic pain and you are right. There are so many layers to this one. I am 66 and completely understand your reaction and his words. ❤ This song came out n his CD released in October. Song 1. Can't get enough of Ren. He pulled me off a dark ledge a year ago with HI REN. 2 years after losing my husband to cancer during Covid. Ren has a heart of gold ad more talent than any musician i can recall since the eary '80's.
Another fantastic reaction to Ren as an artist as well as the song itself. I appreciate hearing your perspective and insights along with all sorts of random trivia ❤
Excellent reaction!! Ren is his own genre - a master story teller, lyricist, producer & artist, not to mention a stellar human. Thankful for him, his team, his music & his truth ❤
This is my favourite track off Sick Boi and one of my favourite Ren tracks ever! Such an amazing track and so relatable for those of us with chronic pain conditions. Really enjoyed your reaction and analysis of this masterpiece ❤❤
This song has been out since 13th October, it’s from the Sickboi album, the video was released yesterday. Love this track, one of my top 3 on the album. You should check out Sickboi 2 and wicked ways, oh and loco, absolute 🔥🔥🔥🖤
That was a great reaction Eric to a badass Ren song! Your knowledge of music really shows in your comments! You seem to get what Ren is about! Ren is an artist that deserves to be heard and he is starting to pick up steam thanks to reactions such as yours!
Damn you are a good communicator. You _always_ have something genuinely interesting to say, and I'm here for it. You should be one of the biggest reactors on RUclips. Also, why do songs always sound so incredible on your channel? I figure you're doing some EQ and such, but damn...
Thank you for this reaction! I have an autoimmune disease and bipolar among other things, but I can't imagine what this has been like for him at all. The physical and mental pain every day while he was releasing epic track after epic track. Thank you Ren and the entire crew thats involved in this art. Thank you for this reaction and the support for Ren 🖤
Excellent reaction. This may be my favorite track of Ren's I've heard--- though he's got so many amazing tracks it's hard to choose. Appreciate your commentary on all your reactions.
This is so good reaction and understanding of the lyrics. Many, especially the younger, are confused by the lyrics and more so with the first part, the pain, and also don't link it to the later part. You have also deepen my understanding of the song.
Fantastic reaction to my current favourite Ren track, thank you. I can't wait for him to release a lyric video for Wicked Ways, you're going to love it! 🖤
Amazing reaction vid fella. Really like your view and take on this track. Awesome. REN is crazy talented. It's nuts, isn't it. Wow. The lyrics video somehow makes the words hit harder.
How did i not find you before now? Great reaction and review! I love your style of reaction. You freaky pay attention and don't interrupt the flow so you get the full impact of the song. New sub! This is a great track. I have the album and absolutely love it.

It would be awesome to see you interview Ren!! 🔥🔥
I concur
It would be great!! I'm sure Ren would accept an interview 🤘🏼🎶
I CONCUR
I concur
Yes this! I suggested this last reaction as well. I think this would be the best Ren interview yet.
Finally!! It's a pleasure to listen to someone who knows about the topic he's talking about.
I’m a 71 year old woman who loves REN and his music. This song is one of my favorites. You did a great reaction at understanding the song and appreciating the lyrics.
Illness is my teacher
It broke my smile
My bones feel old
Here lies the body of Ren

Not enough Os in smooth!❤
Thanks. This is the analysis that "Seven Sins" deserves.
❤
That’s great way of putting it ‘ tying the personal in with the universal’
Ren never misses.
ren is great

Damn... really well-put!
Great Reaction. Ren is that good!!
great reaction
Absolutely love your knowledgeable reaction. Hope to see more Ren reactions from you, Eric.
This is on his Sick Boi Album released in October and placed at #1 Album UK charts
Above Drake and Rick Astley

Appreciate your reaction.

Nothing more can be added to your great commentary! I hope Ren sees it! I myself am at a loss for words, so I'll have to use emojis: 🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋
Always great, Eric!!! Thanks for what you do, Sir!
That was an amazing reaction. I'm 60 this year and I love Ren. Age has no limit to a special talent. ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing your deep knowledge Eric. Always appreciated.
A very good reaction to one of my absolute favorite songs.
Keep it up, cheers from Berlin 👍🔥🍀😎
This is my favorite song, right now. I listen to it every morning.

But the way the song progresses from there, it gives me energy, and the will to keep fighting
Thanks for the reaction!
I blast it out in my workvan every single day, along with all his others and with Liv, Sam, Chinchilla, the big push.
This song is on his "Sick Boy" album, this was just the release of the lyric video version of it.
I've heard this song hundreds of times and i still don't have the words to convey to others the depth of Rens lyricism.
Thanks for another great reaction! Ren is a genius! ☮️❤️😎
Great review! great track!
I loved the reaction. I have such a great appreciation of Ren. He is the next genre bender. Loved your analysis of it. Also happy to see you using your cup❤.

Tip my hat to you brother for clocking that was the Welsh language, Diolch brawd, up the town ✊🏴🏴
A very thorough reaction and analysis of this song thank you. Yes Ren singing in Welsh at the beginning his native tongue. Well spotted from Welcome to Wrexham 🎶🧡🔥👩🏻🦰
Fantastic reaction, I think you'd conduct a great interview with Ren.
Great reaction-Thank you 👏👍🤝🙋♀️
Loved the reaction... again. Great perspective as always. However, "good Genesis" is Gabriel - at least for me. I'm over 60 so that might explain it. 😀
When Phil Collins was the drummer, you mean?
Incredible insight into Ren's song. Well done!
I’ve posted this before but I would pay good money to see this done live with a Welsh mens chorus and an orchestra. It would be fabulous.
Great reaction!
Please interview him, very approachable and intelligent.
So, if you haven't heard seven sins that means you haven't listened to his album Sick Boi released on Oct 13th! Seven Sins is the first song on that album. This release of the song is the lyric video for the song, but the song itself was released a few months ago. All 18 songs on that album are bangers. Listen to the whole album!!!
He was able to put into words what living with ME, Lyme or other diseases that cause chronic pain!
Love the Phil Collins connection, brilliant reaction to this out-of-the-world track.
The Best is That Ren Gives All of Us Understanding while Living With a Affliction. Ren is my Pain Killer ❤ great Reaction ❤
FYI this track is from his Sick Boi album that was released Oct 13 2023. The lyric video release was just a day or two ago.
Love your REN reactions! He is such an amazing artist in so many ways from his writing to his production…..then he delivers with his musical and singing talent 🔥

Every time I watch one of your reactions, I'm impressed with what you see and hear; you are a favorite of mine.
Fantastic reaction! If you haven't already, I would love to see your take on his Tale of Jenny and Screech (full version)
Actually it released on Oct 13th in his Sick Boi album and been riding on RUclips until this Lyric version replaced it.
What an incredible reaction! Thank you! 💙
This song has been out since 13th October, it’s from the Sickboi album, the video was released yesterday. Love this track, one of my top 3 on the album. You should check out Sickboi 2 and wicked ways, oh and loco, absolute 🔥🔥🔥🖤
Pretty cool reaction man...easy on the ears😊
That was a great reaction Eric to a badass Ren song! Your knowledge of music really shows in your comments! You seem to get what Ren is about! Ren is an artist that deserves to be heard and he is starting to pick up steam thanks to reactions such as yours!
It's pretty obvious Ren is very intelligent, his lyrics are so creative, and along with his musical talent, he is simply amazing.
Great voice and great reaction. REN is the best at lyric videos - Mos Def definitely.
Incredible lyricist. The visuals were awesome as well, they fit perfectly.
Ren is Iconic
Love your knowledge and ability to express yourself....much appreciated x
Loved this.. I am 55 so I got the Genesis reference right away. I love your point of view and how well you express yourself. I thank you for sharing.
Awesome, eloquent reaction. I loved that there was no real chorus in the song, just one transition into another.
Excellent reaction! Thank you!
He's intense... makes you think. And the buildup of his beats leaves you waiting for the next one. Great review!
Great reaction to this song.
Love your Ren reactions - thank you.
Enjoyed your reaction Thank you 🙏
I concur 👍
This song is all over the place, just like my life, in a good way.

🔥
I love your breakdowns! I would love to see you do Castles of Sand. It didn't make it on the album but it's fantastic!!!
Great reaction! 🔥❤✌
Damn you are a good communicator. You _always_ have something genuinely interesting to say, and I'm here for it. You should be one of the biggest reactors on RUclips.
Also, why do songs always sound so incredible on your channel? I figure you're doing some EQ and such, but damn...
Fantastic reaction! Thank you ❣ 🥁🎻🎸
Great reaction like your style we need tales of jenny and screech full version 🇬🇧

Thank you for this reaction and the support for Ren 🖤
Thanks for the great analysis of #REN it’s always interesting to get your mature perspective.
Excellent reaction. ❤ I think you might enjoy listening to the Sick Boi album in it's entirety. It kinda has a flow of it's own, IMO.
Fantastic reaction to this song. You're right, that's totally a genesis drum hit. Ha ha
Excellent reaction. This may be my favorite track of Ren's I've heard--- though he's got so many amazing tracks it's hard to choose.
Appreciate your commentary on all your reactions.
Man i always really love your reaction! break down is real! u get it so right!
This is so good reaction and understanding of the lyrics. Many, especially the younger, are confused by the lyrics and more so with the first part, the pain, and also don't link it to the later part. You have also deepen my understanding of the song.
You are very good at this.gj
Fantastic reaction to my current favourite Ren track, thank you. I can't wait for him to release a lyric video for Wicked Ways, you're going to love it! 🖤
Amazing reaction vid fella. Really like your view and take on this track. Awesome. REN is crazy talented. It's nuts, isn't it. Wow. The lyrics video somehow makes the words hit harder.
👌
It was released in 2023 on the sick boy album
The vid was released this week but he's been in Canada for over a yr getting cured (didn't mean to piss on yer chips) much love from England
How did i not find you before now? Great reaction and review! I love your style of reaction. You freaky pay attention and don't interrupt the flow so you get the full impact of the song. New sub! This is a great track. I have the album and absolutely love it.
Smoooooooooooooth. At least I tried 😅
Forensic
For Ren Sick
First time here. Appreciated your analysis. Do you do sleep token?
I love your reaction, but dang it....are you his dad??!!😂 The resemblance is crazy. Js
I'd really love to hear your thoughts on Ren's song Lost All Faith.
Who the hell uses the word 'onomatopoeia' in a rap song??? Oh, right, it's just REN. LOL What a genius rap song this is.
Dude, that Mos Def connection just made me double-take. Too accurate. I hope Mos is out there somewhere listening to Ren, because that was right on
