I always lose it in the Ariah section. A 50 year old Autistic male, reduced to tears ... literally every damned time. Ren is giving us music that matters... music that can literally save lives. It's one thing to have talent, but it's another thing entirely to have such brutal, and beautiful, emotional honesty. He's not just a musical genius, he's a rare gem of a man.
You don’t need to apologise. As you said, Ren’s songs need to be discussed because that’s what they’re designed & structured for. Great reaction once again. 💐
Thanks for opening up and being vulnerable, it makes the reaction even more powerful. We are just getting started on our Ren journey with you so buckle up bucko 😂💜🦌
Thank you so much for the amazing suggestion Jess and for being in The Herd! You are an incredible person! Can't wait for many more Ren songs in the future!!
I love this one The main thing I hate about society is that people always say "You need communication all the time, you are wrong if you don't think so, you should live in society" and then somewhere there is always "You are not right. You are different. You are not good (or not good enough). You are not a part of it. You should be better and be another to be here". Crazy I absolutely love how in every reaction I see that you're trying to always be yourself and be honest, that's brilliant, you're amazing And you're SO beautiful 😍😍😍 Just to mention Thank you for this reaction, sunshine 💙
I remember being bullied all of 5th & 6th grade for not wearing clothes that fit a high class standard,was horrible!!! At age 16 I was anorexic,it was another form of trying to somehow fit in!!!! Ive struggled with loving & respecting myself for over 40years now!!! Thank you Ren for being REAL!!!
Ren definitely doesn’t pull punches when it comes to speaking truths. He is a word wizard of both complex metaphors and double meanings as well as such simple lines that cut straight through everything and hits you hard. There is just something about the way he writes and delivers it that makes it impossible to ignore or brush off. And for someone with such empathy and passion for making the world better to have such power is truly something we need.
Thank you, beautiful human, for being so open and so true to yourself in these reactions. You are showing us a side of yourself that is so raw and natural and it is incredible. Thank you for being you and talking to us. Never ever apologise for your rants because they are part of you and who you are has made the community that we are a part of. You make us better people by bringing us together. Thank you also to Jess for bringing this to our attention and making us hear these words that hit so hard.
Thanks for your open and honest reaction. This song is a masterpiece. Ren is an amazing songwriter and musician. I love the way he chose to end it rather than going back into the chorus as it is more impactful this way. Really enjoying your reactions and looking forward to more ❤️
I love your VoicePlay and Geoff reactions and am thrilled to see you really getting the impact of Ren. He has a way of making us open up and connect with each other. Ren covers the hard topics and makes them approachable. I look forward to your eventually doing Money Game 1 and 2 which are a whole other topic that Ithink you'll like. And the combined tales of Jenny and Screech (trilogy) is another social topic.
He is a musical genius and a wordsmith. The combo makes him SO very amazing ❣️ All of his songs have a message and his community is growing daily. Welcome to it and down the Ren rabbit hole. ❤❤
I thought it would really resonate with you, especially after you mentioned your eating disorder recently. You might also love Chalk Outlines and How to be me. which are More of his mental health related songs (his best friend Joe committed suicide 13 years ago and this has really shaped Ren, who has been living here in my town of Calgary for the past 9 months getting treatment for Lyme Disease). ...I won't get into his rap as that list is too long. @@dj_410
Insecurities also hold us back from making our dreams come true. I know first-hand what it's like to feel this way. Thanks for sharing your beautiful soul and being so humble. You are helping others to feel good about themselves when they don't. BEAUTIFUL... Ren is from another time and place of awesomeness.
High school is hell. Pure and simple. I have no idea how old you are, but I'm probably old enough to be your mom (43). In the 80s, the movies geared toward teens depicted a level of bullying that was bizarre for the time. Teenagers can be horrid and harsh, but most bullying at that time was gossip and isolation. I currently have 3 teens. The bullying they and their friends face is of the caliber the movies I grew up with depicted for the sake of being over the top and ridiculous. It breaks my heart.
After your last Ren reaction, I warned you about this song as I was worried about how the issues it covers (like eating disorders) might affect you. Glad to see that I was worried for nothing and you handled the issues beautifully. Great reaction as always.
Just at the start now, you didn't know Ren could sing like that. HA! Ren will continue to surprise you with everything he can do (well!) Can't wait for your next one!
On my Ren journey with you at the same time DJ. His voice is definitely what makes the songs hit, and lyrically this is hard hitting. Very emotional, and such a commentary on the social media culture that has grown over the last 20 years or so. That rape section hits soooooo freaking hard, something that I resonate way too much with, too much like my teenage experience. I am with you DJ, although I was about 18 when I started to embrace my true self, and am only really getting back to that again now in my mid 30s. Thank you for requesting this Jess, and thank you for such a great and honest reaction DJ. As always, it is a pleasure being part of our mega inclusive and supportive community! #HerdLife #HerdLove #DJsHerd
Thank you for being so vulnerable. Ren does 2 great things, pulls all emotions out of us and starts conversations! He’s very good at making heavy subject tracks sound upbeat too, it’s a common thing with him. 🖤
I can't believe I'm just now coming across your channel! This was one of the most open, honest, and beautiful reactions to this song I've ever seen. And it was something I really needed to hear tonight, so thank you. 🖤
It’s that he is as emotionally and empathetically intelligent as he is intellectually intelligent and he’s an active observer of LIFE and his surroundings. I never had issues with myself until the age of 13. I’m beyond grateful that I grew up ( a LONG time ago) before social media. Nonetheless it was the decade that ushered in the birth of the “supermodel “ .
A nice, honest reaction. I hope that opening up helps you navigate your problems. Just remember to keep things in perspective as you move forward in life. Retail therapy (as you suggested) is not a good way to make yourself feel better. Much better for someone to go and help someone worse off than themselves to put life into perspective and give a sense of self worth. Help out at a local charity centre, volunteer to walk dogs at the local shelter, pick up rubbish in the park, offer to weed an elderly neighbour's garden...... These are non self absorbed activities which are more likely to help give a person a sense of self worth, than adding to a throw away society and buying unwarranted items. Ren has a way of keeping his listeners "safe". If the lyrics are dark, the music counteracts in places. If the music is dark, the lyrics can be cheeky. Looking forward to seeing you do more Ren reactions. He has so many fabulous songs, all very different to the last. You need to look at some of the Big Push videos also, as well as Ren and Chinchilla.
So glad to see you doing Ren. He is worth the time. He just got #1 charted album in UK. The first song on album is Seven Sins. Please react to it when you get a chance. It is the mist recent song he wrote! Describing the day he fell into pdychosis in 2015 at 25 after 6 years of pain, fatigue and disappointment. I love your reactions
Great song choice and really enjoyed ur reaction..Ren has an incredible and unapologetic understanding of the human condition. His songs provoke such raw emotions and create a space for genuine and thought provoking conversations that inspire opportunities for real connection. He is so unbelievably vulnerable and honest and without a doubt i believe he is such an important and necessary voice in a world where toxicity, negativity and bullshit has become the norm xx

Ren gets us all talking and feeling so many deep emotions! Keep on the Ren rabbit hole and you won’t be disappointed
Yes, he’s a very intelligent (and emotional intelligent) young man. Those years stuck in his room were used to educate himself.

Oh, just wait until Chalk Outlines! And Chinchilla will floor you!
Chalk outlines is definitely on my radar to get to eventually!
Do the live version
absolutely the best one!

I love your honesty and introspection.

Just watched your Hi Ren reaction before this one, and I'm so happy to see you've gotten to react to another Ren song!
This song makes me cry, every single time! ❤
I can definitely see why! The lyrics are incredible!
Fantastic reaction video ...... Thanks
Thank you so much 🥰
Brilliant reaction and love that you did a song most people miss.
He is a musical genius and a wordsmith. The combo makes him SO very amazing ❣️ All of his songs have a message and his community is growing daily. Welcome to it and down the Ren rabbit hole. ❤❤
Cannot wait to see your reaction to this it crushed me but what a powerful message.😢
Incredible message and brilliantly presented

His lyricism is incredible every time, no matter what genres he's playing around with.

I can deeply relate to you & Ren both!!!! Thank you for your reaction & sharing your authenticity with us!!!🙏🥰☮️🆓️🕊🌈💜
