What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you want to support the channel check out the one take video ‘Love is Blind’ from the intro now ❤️ ruclips.net/video/4YpIG60jyHY/видео.htmlsi=_AjgonQoG0-AIIdi
Knox, No one and I mean, no one, breaks down the verses and production like you do. I listen to Ren's music, love it, absorb it, appreciate it. Then I turn to your reaction video and I'm hit with so many nuances I completely missed. Thank you for making each song even more memorable and inspirational, with so much more perspective. You sir are truly a master at this.... Let alone that your own music is great in it's own right. ❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏
The Pink Floyd comparison actually made a lot of sense. Even the visuals with the fists are greatly reminiscent of the marching hammers and everything in that section has huge Another Brick in the Wall vibes.
Knox, you really should go back and start reacting to all of Ren's older tracks. Especially his originals with The Big Push. Like Precious, All My Heroes, Watch Out & Xbox Marijuana. His solo stuff like Fire, Love Music 1thru 3, Humble and Ocean ft Eden Nash. You're missing too much of his diversity. Peace and love. You're the best at analyzing music period.
So.Many and so much variety. Been following him for years now and he still amazes me. Hope he doesn't leave the "guitar music" behind but agree there's loads from the past
Ya I just seen one yesterday I missed.. It was him and a girl dressed up kinda like clown, white clown face paint.. The beginning starts off like a horror story.. Was it "Children of the Moon?" I think it was like a reference to "Children of the Corn" I thought that song was genius. Hope Knox find that one and reacts to it.
I truly agree with you their , children of the moon ive only seen one person react to it , theirs so many old songs from 5 year ago to as far back as 10 year ago where he was rocking it and are some off the most played in my house , yeah hes new stuff with top class but if your really want to know ren then go and listen to his old stuff like youve just said
Wow! I must say Knox.....you are a Technical Surgeon with your exact break-downs and analyses. So interesting and fun to watch you bring another layer to the enjoyment of this. Absolutely loved this track!
"i lift my eyes to the hills" is a Psalms 121 reference - looking to God for help, except Ren has replaced God with pain, which fits perfectly with the "Lost Faith" theme. Also the choral / angelic voice in the production at the time fits the Bible reference.
I love watching your reactions to Ren because you immediately catch so much that I would never even think about, plus the technical explanations. You really are brilliant.
Nigella Lawson is british chef who is believed to be cocaine user, so by saying stacking "mozarella" Ren also means drug dealing, another clever double meaning from Ren))
Same, since I don't live in an English speaking Country and English isn't my first language, a lot of double meanings go lost on me, but Knox always explains it all, so I can better appreciate the layers of Ren's writing
Yes! I am excited to hear it front to back! Between the chocolate- soup- chicken buckets- Ali-backseats- the little words from a song somewhere else in the album- and you know he set up the flow from one song to the next just the way he wanted. The only full album I was excited to hear from start to finish was asleep Token- the last of the trilogy flows perfectly to just push chokehold and let it play all the way through- the ups and downs - this reminds me of how Ren does his switches and never knowing what’s coming and lyrics like no other. Excited to see MAIL!!!
In regards to the song order I know that Ren once said that he'd like to tour and for his show to have a theatrical side to it, to tell a story through his music.. I can totally see links between his songs so I hope one day we get the privilege of seeing him tour and present his art the way he sees it in his mind! Love watching you enjoy his music the way we do too ❤
I’ve watched probably close to 100 of your reactions but I still get amazed by your breakdowns and analysis and connection to the music and the lyrics. You think I’d be used to it by now…😂 Another great reaction/analysis. Thank you!!
You just hit the reality of his words right on the head! And for those of us knowing this state of existence, your explanation is just the truth ❤ Thank you
I am 6 years off of 20 years on psych meds inappropriately….it was my thyroid all along. This song describes how I ended up feeling inside on the meds. I’m so grateful I am off and healing.
I've watched/listened to this song a dozen times or more and I've come to believe that this song is a commentary on his own art and life. He is the rapper with bravado (Murderer, Down on the Beat, Animal Flow, etc...) and he's also the introvert lost in his pain and depression who can SING (Hi Ren, Sick Boi, Chalk Outlines, etc..). And in the spirit of Hi Ren he's expressing the two sides as characters in the song.
Knox, you are an absolute master at these reactions,; your insight and intelligent breakdown of each vid is really on point and you get to the heart of the meaning the artist is interpreting. Love the way you love Ren and it makes me like the both of you more as artists. Hats off to you Sir and keep it up. 👍
Always enjoy your reactions. I so appreciate all of the detail that goes into these tracks and videos. Looked up the 345 on the pill - reference to Diazapam.
Thanks Knox, your precise analysis, combined with wisdom and knowledge has turned me from an anti-rapper into one who now has a huge respect for the complexity and art behind the genre, particularly coming from Ren. Who would have thought. Big ups man.
The sound/beat, like you hear in the beginning, is the countdown song he was using for his song releases on YT. I remember during either a countdown or a Twitch stream he subtly mentioned watching out for that countdown sound, so when I heard it I was like oh shit! There it is! 🤣
Knox is genius with his break downs. I love it. Had to edit to say this song meant so much more to me after watching this reaction. Thank you for always breaking these down.
Notice when Ren says "Do it again and again and again" the puppet-string hands in the video are doing the same move that the catgirls on the washing machines in the 'Animal Flow' video do. A more spasmic version is in 'The Hunger', which has similarities in the opening beats with this track. He also raises his fists in that video, like the animation in this one. 'The Hunger' also has the tickity-tik beatboxing bit that's in 'Animal Flow'...
Rushed here straight after my first watch for the fornesic breakdown extraordinaire and as always you didn’t disappoint. Although I'm not in Ren's brain, it always feels as though you two are telepathically linked like twins and know what he's thinking or inside that crazy eclectic brain of his. The fact he shouted you out (& not for the first time) shows how close you are to being spot on
You have heard this beat before. He uses it as his intro/exit song on his Twitch. He also used it in his ad for the Sick Boi jackets. Also he said on the premiere that the chorus was inspired by System of a Down and I can totally hear that!
Lift up my eyes to the hills is a reference to Psalms 121 (hence the possible backdrop of the 'angelic'/choir-like voice when he started that bar) or 👀he could just be shouting you out, you the goat of breakdowns fam.👊
Thinking guys like Knox and BP get it early. The song drops then all the reviews it seems super intelligent because everyone rushes to watch everything. Literally everyone wins we get sick content and they help each other get views.
Ren is just unreal. He is totally unlike any other artist that has gone before. Times are changing and I genuinely believe he will be viewed in the future as one of our greats. His depth is very touching and hits a nerve every time. His ability to channel into his music is insane. His production is off the charts, always simple but very effective. His musical talent is a gift to us all and we love him for that... He is just stunning in his capabilities.. (by the way KH, you pretty damn decent too you know 😂) I think you are onto something in the tying together tracks scheme. He says "again and again and again.." And "High" "Ren" and also repeats the Muhammed Ali bar which ties into the again and again bar. Also it may be coincidence but he sings "sons and daughters" "law and order". Sons and daughters was an Australian tv series and law and order was an American tv series.. Could be a connection. I think Rens mind runs so deep there are probably a lot of things that get missed. Thanks Knox Hill for your amazing uplifting energy and sharp mind! Keep up the good and important work!
One little/big thing you missed mate… the number 345 on one of the pills. It’s known as the angel number which signifies positive change, a spark of light. Great reaction & breakdown as usual ❤🐷🇬🇧
"345" on blue pills is the identifier for the antidepressant Desipramine and on orange pills the identifier for Diazepam (another Ren song) more commonly known as Valium in the US.
@MsAquarius65 Got some UK 10mg diazepam in my bedside drawer next to me (legally prescribed, I'm also a chronic illness person who rattles from being prescribed too many things). They're blue, got a big 10 on one side and DAN, a line, then 5620 on the other. But in Canada they may look totally different!
At least four Stella references in songs. He stole a Stella from a guy in the Fatboy Slim retake "Right Here, Right Now". Stella and Toblerone owe Ren a case of each. Not that he drinks anymore or can eat sweets, but I'm sure he could find worthy recipients. Blessings.
Maybe someone else has mentioned it already, but the lyric "There is blood on the leaves where I fell, falling down" might be a reference to the song Falling Leaves by Billy Talent. A song that is about drug abuse. Given the content of Lost All Faith and the fact that Billy Talent is a Canadian group (if memory serves) and Ren has been living in Canada getting treatment, it wouldn't be that farfetched. But who knows, I could be way off.
This was by far THE BEST ONE of the series of releases he has just done. This hit me hard i really felt this. I also got the Hi ren vibes so it was funny when u said it after i was saying it ro myself. Man i have been here where he talks about . The darkness of the sickness . Love that pain is my shepherd my sword and my shield. This is just one of thise songs i want to play iver and over again 😊
I'ma be honest. Your ability to pick up bars and hear and absorb and analyse the depth and meaning in the lyrics in a split second is fascinating. I'm not even into hip hop, I love Ren and what he can do with words and music but my thing is punk, and I wish there was a reactor who could so easily see and hear depth in punk as you can in hip hop- and yes, there is depth in punk, we just not so good at picking it up...
You breakdowns is king! So glad i found this channel. Discovered Ren just a couple of months ago, have never listened to rap before, and everytime i go deeper in to his catalouge you are right next to me 😃 I am learning about the genre while appreciating the music. You are a great teacher and like a living encyclopedia and Im here for it! 🤩
Yeah Nigella is a British chef who had her own cooking TV series. Yet another great song from Ren and reaction from you. I really appreciate that you take the time to break down lyrics and their meanings. Enjoying your reactions ❤
Psalm 23!!! You caught it!! Nobody else has. Amazing. Also the pink Floyd thing was bang on. Ren speaks about a lot of the same internal angst as Roger Waters did. Fantastic!
Same here… I assume that’s on purpose. Just like when Ren dropped the ‘u’ from ‘you’ in the tribute song Suic*de to his friend. “All I find is missing y-“ then cuts out.
Definitely seeing a quartet of tracks released in reverse order Lost all faith - Introspection about his pain and illness and how it's guides him Masochist - rip everything up and start again "no one wants to hear another song about how much you hate yourself" Murderer - he's back, he's dangerous and he's going to kill it Animal flow - Journey complete the king has his crown, he is the lord of the beasts now ! Or maybe not 🤷🏼♂️
I love this one, the desperation in it speaks to me as someone who also has an auto immune illness, feeling like your body isn't your own and doesn't listen to you any more is some of the worst torment I feel you can go through.
I've spent the last like 15 months homeless and Hi Ren was always my go to. Your reaction to that video got me i'ma finally subscribe. You know your shit. And for the record can barely even eat anything so of course he drinks Stella that's why his insides hurt because of his disorder...Lyme disease
Love the Indian, almost Bhangra, feel towards the end - seriously cool. (The chorus with the high notes almost reminded me of Robbie Williams - never thought I would say that !). Loved it.
Brilliant job as always Knox 😉👍👌 I'm really diggin Ren's dark side 😍 it's brutal and raw.. Hope he's feeling better after releasing for all to see very brave ❤️
I always come straight here after the drop to have it explained to me 😂 I know how it makes me feel listening / watching Ren & I love the other perspective ... then I'll go back & watch with new eyes & ears ❤❤
I love your reactions and analysis of the songs and lyrics. Of all the latest songs Ren released this one got me a bit with that verse about being an introvert and not deserving anything and living in the constant pain. I feel like that sometimes when my depression gets heavy and it made me tear up for a second. Keep doing your thing ✌
Knox, you are amazing! You’re looking for suggestions for future reactions? I’d love to see you react to Dirt Miller. Yes please to that. Ren introduced us to him a while ago, you might remember? Fingers crossed!
Mr Hill, you know his music for suuuuuuure!. The biblical reference was right in the start to about the Shepherd. I love everything about this. When you're depressed you sometimes think you're being selfish for wanting to be better but don't know how to make yourself better. x
First off, fire reaction as always. Now to the meat of my comment, I’ve noticed that throughout the entire song there is a conversation to be heard. If you look at the colours of the lyrics in the intro (Ren, or some version of Ren in blue; and a fan, or a different obsessive, sick version in red) you will find them again in the video itself. When he sings about living for the weekend and all of that, the lyrics are red, symbolising that the sick and mad version is talking, yet when he switches to the introvert section his voice changes and so does the colour of the lyrics (from red to blue). This pattern repeats itself throughout the track. Interestingly, the chorus’s lyrics are in all sorts of colours, so I’m not too sure what’s going on there Edit: perhaps in the chorus it’s many many different personas talking/singing
Another cracking song from the Ren. Knox Hill spot on breakdown as usual. Remembering snippets from previous tracks too is pretty cool. Bad memory here so anyone who can recall stuff from a few weeks ago is awesome to me

How about another Connor Price song? And I've already seen the Love is Blind music video 10x over lol
You should react to some NEFFEX Songs!
He makes A LOT of motivational songs consistently
Ren - Ready for you, it's so good
And Ren - Dear God
Lady Leshurr - Queen's Speech Ep.4 65mil views u been sleeping
"Lift up my eyes to the hills" -> Also, "The Hills Have Eyes"-> KH has eyes, definitely a shoutout for your perception ^_^
Knox, No one and I mean, no one, breaks down the verses and production like you do. I listen to Ren's music, love it, absorb it, appreciate it.

"Pain is my shepherd, my sword and my shield"
This is insanely profound
Agreed. I deal with chronic pain and all that goes with it and that line provided a measure of peace.
A rare miss of the reference from Knox, along with “I lift my eyes to the hills” (which continues: “where does my help come from?”)
The Pink Floyd comparison actually made a lot of sense. Even the visuals with the fists are greatly reminiscent of the marching hammers and everything in that section has huge Another Brick in the Wall vibes.
Exactly what I was thinking!
Yupz the visuals are definitely part of the zeitgeist of Ren his world. Where Pink Floyd is part of
I also felt that section had kinda James Bond theme tune anthem feel as it builds up - eg Skyfall.
It reminded me of Radiohead. Paranoid Android, in particular.
Will always love Comfortably Numb ruclips.net/video/7kWl-ZGMwkQ/видео.html

I agree so muchhh
So.Many and so much variety. Been following him for years now and he still amazes me. Hope he doesn't leave the "guitar music" behind but agree there's loads from the past
He probably went through the back catalogue off camera. He still could do an analysis video I guess but it wouldn’t be a (first) reaction video
Ya I just seen one yesterday I missed.. It was him and a girl dressed up kinda like clown, white clown face paint.. The beginning starts off like a horror story.. Was it "Children of the Moon?" I think it was like a reference to "Children of the Corn" I thought that song was genius. Hope Knox find that one and reacts to it.

If Ren does't have some kind of sponsorship from Stella and Toblerone, then there truly is no justice in the world
BTW, this is the third mention of Stella. "Right Here, Right Now" (Fat Boy Slim) track mentions it as well.
Apparently Ren has drunk alcohol for over 10 years.
That would be Anheuser-Busch and Mondelez respectively…
@@sandracole2578Do you mean “hasn’t “?
Read "I'm Alan Partridge", toblerone addiction is no joke😂.
Wow! I must say Knox.....you are a Technical Surgeon with your exact break-downs and analyses. So interesting and fun to watch you bring another layer to the enjoyment of this. Absolutely loved this track!
"i lift my eyes to the hills" is a Psalms 121 reference - looking to God for help, except Ren has replaced God with pain, which fits perfectly with the "Lost Faith" theme. Also the choral / angelic voice in the production at the time fits the Bible reference.
Of course he did Knox. You both inspire love. Love to you both! And congrats for the shout out!❤🎉❤

I concur
Nigella Lawson is british chef who is believed to be cocaine user, so by saying stacking "mozarella" Ren also means drug dealing, another clever double meaning from Ren))
Ren also had the girl in a cat mask drinking a Stella in one of his videos 😆
@@IfItAintWoke-DontFixIt while also spitting
"Can of Stella, Fish and chips and
Hollyoaks and bad decisions"
After a Ren new release I always check out your reaction/break-down. BTW Love is Blind is superb.
I agree, Love is Blind is in one of my Spotify playlists currently along with Killshot.
Same, since I don't live in an English speaking Country and English isn't my first language, a lot of double meanings go lost on me, but Knox always explains it all, so I can better appreciate the layers of Ren's writing
We used to call themed albums a Concept album. Everything connected to narrate the whole story. Ren is absolutely Genius!🐇🕳️🖤Big Love Knox!
Yes! I am excited to hear it front to back! Between the chocolate- soup- chicken buckets- Ali-backseats- the little words from a song somewhere else in the album- and you know he set up the flow from one song to the next just the way he wanted.
The only full album I was excited to hear from start to finish was asleep Token- the last of the trilogy flows perfectly to just push chokehold and let it play all the way through- the ups and downs - this reminds me of how Ren does his switches and never knowing what’s coming and lyrics like no other.
Excited to see MAIL!!!
In regards to the song order I know that Ren once said that he'd like to tour and for his show to have a theatrical side to it, to tell a story through his music..

Love watching you enjoy his music the way we do too ❤
You were quick off the mark here, Knox ❤ Love that he shouted you out. The Ren effect in full flow ❤
You appreciate the song even more after listening Knox ❤
Congrats on 1 million you deserve it knox love your work
I’ve watched probably close to 100 of your reactions but I still get amazed by your breakdowns and analysis and connection to the music and the lyrics. You think I’d be used to it by now…😂 Another great reaction/analysis. Thank you!!
You just hit the reality of his words right on the head! And for those of us knowing this state of existence, your explanation is just the truth ❤ Thank you
First place I came after Ren’s stream ❤ Love your breakdowns of his songs and the friendship between you two 😊
The 345 on the pill is a reference to "Diazepam" (A drug also known as Valium, a name of one of his earlier songs).
How good is this?!?! Knox and Ren.
It is how a good marriage works.
Legend grows just like this.
I am 6 years off of
20 years on psych meds inappropriately….it was my thyroid all along. This song describes how I ended up feeling inside on the meds. I’m so grateful I am off and healing.
''Wow my last name's Hill but I can't get that high''
I'm dead xD You're so articulated man omg. Love it.
I've watched/listened to this song a dozen times or more and I've come to believe that this song is a commentary on his own art and life.

Knox your the best only you can take a song and explain it better than any other reactor can 100% I love this song God Bless Both Of You. lol
You two need to collab. Come on Knox, you know you have it on the cards...
Knox, you are an absolute master at these reactions,; your insight and intelligent breakdown of each vid is really on point and you get to the heart of the meaning the artist is interpreting. Love the way you love Ren and it makes me like the both of you more as artists. Hats off to you Sir and keep it up. 👍
That sample is the intro from his twitch stream at the start
Always enjoy your reactions. I so appreciate all of the detail that goes into these tracks and videos. Looked up the 345 on the pill - reference to Diazapam.

Reactions so soon further proving Ren's about to reach unprecedented heights.. even our fav reactors on top of this mans every move

Knox the song came out 20 minutes ago how do you do it man 😂
Probably hears it early
I think he just gets it all pre-edited intro and sits down so as soons as it comes out, he records the reaction and uploads
@@IsaacDDukehas to cuz that was actually like record breaking upload time 😂
Because Knox is goated

And "High" "Ren" and also repeats the Muhammed Ali bar which ties into the again and again bar. Also it may be coincidence but he sings "sons and daughters" "law and order". Sons and daughters was an Australian tv series and law and order was an American tv series.. Could be a connection. I think Rens mind runs so deep there are probably a lot of things that get missed.
Thanks Knox Hill for your amazing uplifting energy and sharp mind!
Keep up the good and important work!
He also mentions drinking Stella in his “Right Here, Right Now”(Fatboy Slim one shot retake” track/video
One little/big thing you missed mate… the number 345 on one of the pills.
It’s known as the angel number which signifies positive change, a spark of light.
Great reaction & breakdown as usual ❤🐷🇬🇧
Wow. I didn't knew that.
Ren's music and his videos are amazing.
So many things to discover.🤩
"345" on blue pills is the identifier for the antidepressant Desipramine and on orange pills the identifier for Diazepam (another Ren song) more commonly known as Valium in the US.
@@stevevandevender8319345 yellow pills are clozapine, an anti-psychotic too. But, like you, I think it's Diazepam being portrayed
10 mg Diazapam

No doubt! He should be getting some sort of kickback from both companies, even if he can't eat them, he could still pass them out to his buds. 🤣
Your so intelligent Knoxy. Thanks again for a great breakdown ❤
The sons and daughters bars have Bond theme all over them. The Ren tribe is my happy place.❤
Sons and daughters and Law and Order were both daytime TV fare too
Maybe someone else has mentioned it already, but the lyric "There is blood on the leaves where I fell, falling down" might be a reference to the song Falling Leaves by Billy Talent.

The beat is from Diamond Style called 'Cruel Intentions'. Love it.
Knox hill, I can't belive how well you explain the lyrics to us and teach us, its amazing.
Thank you!!!!
This was by far THE BEST ONE of the series of releases he has just done. This hit me hard i really felt this. I also got the Hi ren vibes so it was funny when u said it after i was saying it ro myself. Man i have been here where he talks about . The darkness of the sickness . Love that pain is my shepherd my sword and my shield. This is just one of thise songs i want to play iver and over again 😊
When he drops something I always listen to his original then pop over here to see if you have done a reaction yet. Love it
I friggen love that beat.
Thank you Knox that I have something to look forward to every time Ren (and all others) release something new :)
What a fantastic track. How does he surpass himself each time? and another great reaction.
Knox your reactions to Ren are sublime ❤️🤗
You have heard the beat of this song from the Stream intro/outro card on Ren's Twitch!

BRO! Imagine Ronnie Radke, Will Ramos, and Ren making a song together! That shit would be fucking 🔥
Produced my Mike Shinoda. The super group we need in these dark times.
dont know why but the chorus makes me think of a 007 film intro .....really good song
Loved it.
Not sure if intentional he sings "Lost MY faith" but the lyrics say "Lost ALL faith".
I noticed that too, wonder why...
Same here… I assume that’s on purpose. Just like when Ren dropped the ‘u’ from ‘you’ in the tribute song Suic*de to his friend.
“All I find is missing y-“ then cuts out.
KNOX HILL IS REALLY THE BEST WHEN IT COMES TO BREAKING DOWN BARS I LOVE AND ENJOY ALL YOUR REACTIONS SIR KNOX
I'm so glad i exist in a time that Ren also exists ❤
Definitely seeing a quartet of tracks released in reverse order
Lost all faith - Introspection about his pain and illness and how it's guides him
Masochist - rip everything up and start again "no one wants to hear another song about how much you hate yourself"
Murderer - he's back, he's dangerous and he's going to kill it
Animal flow - Journey complete the king has his crown, he is the lord of the beasts now !
Or maybe not 🤷🏼♂️
Currently i go to Ren and absorb his new tracks. I then come to you Knox for the breakdowns 😅
This song just gets more beautiful every time I hear it!
I love this one, the desperation in it speaks to me as someone who also has an auto immune illness, feeling like your body isn't your own and doesn't listen to you any more is some of the worst torment I feel you can go through.
I love how you explain the context and meanings to.the different.lines I have seen this reaction of yours before but find something new in every watch
I've spent the last like 15 months homeless and Hi Ren was always my go to. Your reaction to that video got me i'ma finally subscribe. You know your shit. And for the record can barely even eat anything so of course he drinks Stella that's why his insides hurt because of his disorder...Lyme disease
Knox's reaction came out faster than me finishing the song 💀
I didn't even came around to listen to it yet🤣🤣
Hey Knox! You read my mind! I thought of Pink Floyd vibes in this Ren track. Another great reaction!!
Love the Indian, almost Bhangra, feel towards the end - seriously cool. (The chorus with the high notes almost reminded me of Robbie Williams - never thought I would say that !). Loved it.
Thank you for another brilliant breakdown/reaction to another brilliant track from Ren. X
Great Reaction as usual , Love it.
Knox, im going to need you to watch a busking video of him...any busking video and get the full range of his singing voice lol
Brilliant job as always Knox 😉👍👌 I'm really diggin Ren's dark side 😍 it's brutal and raw.. Hope he's feeling better after releasing for all to see very brave ❤️
Knox breaks down the tracks like no one else.
Can't wait for the album to arrive
The moment Ren comes out with a new vibe, I watch his then immediately come here for your reaction! ❤❤❤
Knox Knox you are brilliant at breaking down the lyrics...this song is fire and Ren is a master artist...thanks love your reactions
Awesome reaction. I love the way you analyze the performance from so many different angles in a compact delivery. Bravo my friend :)
I always come straight here after the drop to have it explained to me 😂 I know how it makes me feel listening / watching Ren & I love the other perspective ... then I'll go back & watch with new eyes & ears ❤❤
I love your reactions and analysis of the songs and lyrics. Of all the latest songs Ren released this one got me a bit with that verse about being an introvert and not deserving anything and living in the constant pain. I feel like that sometimes when my depression gets heavy and it made me tear up for a second. Keep doing your thing ✌
Knox, you are amazing! You’re looking for suggestions for future reactions? I’d love to see you react to Dirt Miller. Yes please to that. Ren introduced us to him a while ago, you might remember? Fingers crossed!
Oh please do Dirt Miller!!! D1 is the room number he was in while in detox and it"s suuuch a beautiful song
The sample in the beginning is on the Bliss n Eso ft. Watsky track “Tear the Roof Off” at the very end.
Mr Hill, you know his music for suuuuuuure!. The biblical reference was right in the start to about the Shepherd. I love everything about this. When you're depressed you sometimes think you're being selfish for wanting to be better but don't know how to make yourself better. x
Awesome reaction/annalisation! so far the best I've seen ty love watching these reaction ❤
The hook sounds like muse melody...... brilliant😊
"Blood on the leafs where I fell,"
Adam and Eve reference mayde.
First off, fire reaction as always. Now to the meat of my comment, I’ve noticed that throughout the entire song there is a conversation to be heard. If you look at the colours of the lyrics in the intro (Ren, or some version of Ren in blue; and a fan, or a different obsessive, sick version in red) you will find them again in the video itself. When he sings about living for the weekend and all of that, the lyrics are red, symbolising that the sick and mad version is talking, yet when he switches to the introvert section his voice changes and so does the colour of the lyrics (from red to blue). This pattern repeats itself throughout the track. Interestingly, the chorus’s lyrics are in all sorts of colours, so I’m not too sure what’s going on there
Edit: perhaps in the chorus it’s many many different personas talking/singing
Knox, awesome analysis of an awesome track. You always allow me to enjoy Ren's tracks even more! Big ❤
Another cracking song from the Ren.
Knox Hill spot on breakdown as usual. Remembering snippets from previous tracks too is pretty cool.
Bad memory here so anyone who can recall stuff from a few weeks ago is awesome to me
I love your Ren reactions, they're so enthusiastic and deep.
Love these flows❤️🔥
