In his 1 million-subscriber thank you speech, (I may be paraphrasing slightly) Ren advised those “feeling hate against their fellow man”, to feel that hate/pain, express it, then let it go and find new peace. Seems like he is taking his own advice in Masochist and Lost All Faith. He wrote them during his darkest times, then took that pain, disillusion, desperation, depression and frustration and expressed it in songs about killing the whole world and losing his faith with everything. He created art. I’m in awe.🤯
Written mostly during his darkest times of illness. Masochist and Lost All Faith, I feel, was him just letting go of Idols and hope for a sunny day. Just his pain, his poetry, and the looming idea that he would never feel well again, until death. I think the repetition in Masochist was him just accepting that no idol, no connection people put faith in, was ever going to save, or even help him. I'm loving the tracks he's turned his pain into.
Protect this man at all cost! He is just a genius (and not just musically). I’ve never been a big rap fan, but like you say, he changes it up. “Hi Ren” opened the rabbit hole for me (like most) and I’ve been stunned by the variety & consistency of his music & videos. As far as follow-ups, an upbeat one would be “Power” & a dark one would be “Su1clde”. Great reaction, thanks!
This is probably my favourite Ren track ever - the chorus is insane the way it just builds and builds. Love the Indian/Bhangra feel towards the end. Incredible !
OMG, we are not worthy Ren. For some reason I didn't watch this until now, but when I saw it was Ashlena, I had to watch and I'm glad I waited and now glad I watched it. This is so good and Ashlena's reaction is on par with it. Now I can go back and watch the others react to it.
Doesnt work lol. Ive showed many people a lot of Rens songs and even though they liked a couple of them they never listen to him unless i play him. They are all stuck on the mainstream trash.
Hi dear Ashlena... you know what ? It's astonishing to me everytime, how much you and me have in common, concerning our musical taste and understanding. I loved this sontg from the very first time I have heard it, and yes, it has become my favourite Ren song as well ! His rapping skills are just out of this world ! Although the lyrics are rather sad, of course, but hey, this is Ren, this is his life, this is what he has to say to everyone out there ! And he does it in a freakingly awesome and impressive way. And yes, I also love the timbre of his ainging and rapping voice(s)... it's the same with Eminem. I normally don't listen to rap music at all, but it was the tone of his voice that made me want to listen to Eminem over and over again. And when you really dive into the lyrics, you will soon find out how deep and meaningful they are ! Same here with Ren ! Ashlena, I am so happy to have found YOU on youtube, because in you I found someone whose musical understanding resembles pretty much mine... although there are and - in the future - probably will be some slight differences in our musical taste and band preferences. Besides that, you are a sympathic, lovely, intelligent woman, looking really pretty, too, on top of all that. Channels like yours definitely need support and that's why I chose to become youir patreon next month.... promised ! 🙂 Best wishes from Germany : Your fan Gerry PS : Please do more Ren, there is still a lot to discover ! You still haven't reacted to the live version of "Chalk outlines", featuring Chinchilla. This was the very first song and video I ever heard and saw by Ren and it still impresses me as much as it did from the very beginning of my Ren journey.
Yea he goes from chest voice to falsetto and back again in this song ... I feel ya regarding not really into modern rap but really being into Ren's stuff ... Saw a couple reactors the other day that didn't like his stuff * they watched ' down on the beat ' Those guys were used to the modern hip hop rap they know and like and didn't get all the cultural media references he threw in for fun ... Everyone's different ... I appreciate Ren's ability at making audio collage art ... & Mixing up musical genres .
You might also like "Power" or "Humble" as both are positive. If you want an homage to 90s rap (esp Beastie Boys), check Ren's "What You Want." It's just a fun time.
B-B-B-B-ANGER!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for supporting Ren and his music and message. Im glad I found your channel with this song. Ill be spending a lot more time here! Love the reaction! What you said at the end of the song made me literally lol!
@ashlenamusic He has several "Visualizer" or "Lyrical" videos that are right up your alley!!! Life is Funny, Crucify your Culture, Diazapam, etc... Hope to see more from later on! Can't go wrong with Ren! Yeah I know... Fan Boying for him! LMBO All I can say is this 55 yo guitarist is Truly amazed by his catalog!!! If he wanted to... thankfully he doesn't want too... Any record label would snatch him up Quickly!!!! Of course you know as well as I do... that'd be like putting a curtain over a mirror!!!! Some things are meant to be as is... no change will improve him! Muffle him for sure... that'd be a Shame!!!! Good Evening Miss!!! 😀
Loved you're reaction and you're smile when realising Ren is unstoppable. May be well off but i feel like that chant is chinchilla!! That last note in particular sounds extremely like her.
This is the first time I came across you, and allow me to say that your voice is so pleasant, and your face so wholesome. I never heard "holy shit" or "that was fucking sick" sound so GP rated 😂 Loved your reaction..
I seriously appreciate his artistry and the lyrics, the music is not my piece of cake but that's not that important considering the subject of the lyrics. Mental state, disorders and psychosis are sadly often misunderstood because they don't get much of appreciation in pop culture, even though they should.
All the way Down to the 345 Angelic pill at the end! Gotta pay attention to Everything with Ren!!! Google 345 angel numbers... try tell me that wasnt intentional! Cats a True Genious!!!
@@ashlenamusic the sound of if is more like brutal and good 4 u from sour, it draws a lot of inspiration from punk in the 80s and 90s, as well as pop rock from the early 2000s like paramore and avril Lavigne. Thats a quick summary of the sound hopefully it helps you decide if you would like to listen.
@@ashlenamusic i know your critique for vampire was the fast production on a song that shouldve been slow and its the only one of that sort, i think it was just to ease the fans into the storyline of guts which is this manipulative older man who took advantage of her, but it is probably one of my least favourites after hearing songs like the grudge and logical which are gut wrenching and sound it too. It just doesnt compare in terms of the emotions it invokes through the music and not just the lyrics but it does offer great context for the album so i think it was good single selection.
It’s LITTLE offensive 2 us SUPER fans that u know so little about him .. I don’t kno ur channel enuf 2 comment on musical knowledge But u mentioned the 90’s & dance music.. So how do u not know that ‘girl who’s singing’ is a sample.. like I kno I don’t hafta go of from there.. Giant piece of luv & respect 4 REN is HIS STORY & SO MANY PEOPLE do reactions JUSF 4 clixs Which Rens said happy 2 support all.. I’m just saying YOURE missing out by only grab’n listen 4 clicks.. Ur out there tho so.. do ur thang!!
Like I always say I don’t listen to music on my channel for clicks. I listen because I’m genuinely interested in an artist. I’ve heard maybe 5 songs from him how would I know Everything about him?
You are way of base. Ash is one of the better reactors on RUclips. Because of her, I now have been introduced to Ren's music...and sadly to comments like yours. You should get to know someone before you trash them.......don't you listen to the music? Peace.

He is just so talented
That's what rap sounds like when you put it in a choke hold.
Ren is reinventing rap.
More Ren please.
Agreed. More Ren for sure

It's a great song. It's very controversial, but I like it. He sounds so desperate, which is disturbing, but also very real...
Mixing some bhangra in at the end. He always seems to make it work.
Protect this man at all cost! He is just a genius (and not just musically). I’ve never been a big rap fan, but like you say, he changes it up.

Love the reaction Ashlena. This track is definitely one of Ren's most powerful. All the best from the UK
This is probably my favourite Ren track ever - the chorus is insane the way it just builds and builds. Love the Indian/Bhangra feel towards the end. Incredible !
Agreed it’s absolutely stunning
I so agree with your reaction , this is such a brilliant track , Love your Love for Ren and his unique talent.
OMG, we are not worthy Ren.

Aww that’s so nice thank you
Show renegade uk ❤❤❤❤❤save our plant an ourselves!
Zackly... i told ya... hes truly on his own level!
Just let other people know about Ren and his music. Deserves the recognition
❤👍😁
Doesnt work lol. Ive showed many people a lot of Rens songs and even though they liked a couple of them they never listen to him unless i play him. They are all stuck on the mainstream trash.

It’s nice to know we have the same tastes in music xx
Kinda sounds like Chinchilla singing the “you’re Nirvana, could you be the one “ at the end.
Yeah, this one hits. Great reaction!
the voice Eden Nash , check HUMBLE REn and Eden nash
Yea he goes from chest voice to falsetto and back again in this song ...
I feel ya regarding not really into modern rap but really being into Ren's stuff ...
Saw a couple reactors the other day that didn't like his stuff * they watched ' down on the beat '
Those guys were used to the modern hip hop rap they know and like
and didn't get all the cultural media references he threw in for fun ...
Everyone's different ...
I appreciate Ren's ability at making audio collage art ... & Mixing up musical genres .

Have you done any of his collaborations with the singer Chinchilla? If not, you need to get into those ASAP. They are so good together.
I did chalk outlines 🤘🏽
@@ashlenamusic you should check out "How To Be Me", the live version, then. The two of them kill it again!
Great reaction!
I was hoping you'd react to it, especially after watching your Ocean vid.
There will be more Ren
i don't listen to rap like you but he is amazing😂
Im an old school country lover and i hate rap but love most of Rens songs. Ren is the only artist i listen to right now.
Love that!
Try "The Hunger"(Bars) "Bittersweet Sympathy"(Rap story) or "What You Want"(old school Rap)
B-B-B-B-ANGER!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for supporting Ren and his music and message. Im glad I found your channel with this song. Ill be spending a lot more time here! Love the reaction! What you said at the end of the song made me literally lol!
LOL thanks! I will be doing more Ren soon.
I’m similar with what rap I listen to, totally agree he is not normal in any sense of the word, awesome awesome awesome, thank you 🙏🦉❤️🐊👍
🧡🧡
🦋
This one is my favourite one that hes released so far from the upcoming album.

Life is Funny, Crucify your Culture, Diazapam, etc...

Yeah I know... Fan Boying for him! LMBO
All I can say is this 55 yo guitarist is Truly amazed by his catalog!!!
If he wanted to... thankfully he doesn't want too... Any record label would snatch him up Quickly!!!!
Of course you know as well as I do... that'd be like putting a curtain over a mirror!!!!
Some things are meant to be as is... no change will improve him! Muffle him for sure... that'd be a Shame!!!!
Good Evening Miss!!! 😀

Loved you're reaction and you're smile when realising Ren is unstoppable. May be well off but i feel like that chant is chinchilla!! That last note in particular sounds extremely like her.
Could be!!!
Love this
This is the first time I came across you, and allow me to say that your voice is so pleasant, and your face so wholesome. I never heard "holy shit" or "that was fucking sick" sound so GP rated 😂 Loved your reaction..
Hahahahahaha thanks man 🥰
Hiya, Ren is a punk rocker that raps a bit 😅🤩👍🇬🇧♥️
Hahaha
This one is in my top 5.
Same
This was great.
I just found you and subbed right away.
I will go check out your other Ren reactions.
Welcome aboard!
I seriously appreciate his artistry and the lyrics, the music is not my piece of cake but that's not that important considering the subject of the lyrics.

He really is
are you planning on listening to guts on the channel?
Not sure I have a feeling I won’t like it

I just don’t know how I feel about her music. I feel like she’s a pop start who plays rock music lol it’s weird. I’ll think about it!
PS... Ren Want you to monetize his videos! His way of giving back!
I try and they are ineligible.
