💯 It would be an incredible case study. If nothing else than to not be so dismissive when patients are sharing their symptoms. I can’t even imagine the mental and emotional torture of being treated like a hypochondriac. And there is so much stigma with people suffering with chronic illness and auto immune diseases.
#MillionsMissing are ignored, told they are making it up, sent to Physchitrist or wards. They are not heard! The beauty in this song by Ren! Is HOPE! Thank you for helping spread awareness
And if that many people brought the song it would chart. So come on lets get this song right up there. As high as possible. He did it in the U K. To have a number one in the album charts. Buy it and stream it many times.
I just want to say I know that you didn't mean any disrespect. By telling a very large fan base where many of us have diseases that do not go away that if you want to you can beat it is extremely disingenuous. We will never be our diseases. They will always be a part of us. Run makes it very much known that he was the lucky one and that many are not for this very reason. To let people know the men are out there in the dark and they can't fight because they are too sick. It would be great if people take that message to heart, i promise you probably know someone going through it that you're just passing off as someone that's just not trying to "help themselves" That last part is too anyone who may read this, not just the guy who did this video. Thank you man for posting and helping spread awareness
Ren is a gift. Now that he is better (not well) he could easily have just focused on himself. Instead he is making good on his promise to bring awareness to all those still missing. It means a lot to those of us still in the midst of the fight.
After having listened to Ren's Chapter Series Intently and multiple times, this track just encapsulates his story so well and serves as musical accompaniment for The Chapters. Ren's experiences are very familiar to me to say the least, as is often the case with many of his supporters. Ren's success is so deserved and I do truly hope it continues. Ren is the medicine many of us need. So raw, combined with his naturally emotive performance! Indeed Ren....Your Limo has finally arrived...Great Reaction and a poignant narrative supporting Ren's Message.
I relate to "the kiss of cold steel" bar in a very deep way. I don't suffer from this disease that he's singing about, but I do know depression. I've known depression for all of my existence, and been down that road myself. I'm not proud of it, but I'm not ashamed either. If I had to do it again... yes there'd be some changes, but that road would probably be the same... I wasn't made like I should've been and I really never cared about this f'd up world... I don't wanna die but sometimes I don't wanna live either, and that's a hard thing to have to feel... I don't know if I'll ever be free of the depression(but one day, it would be nice not to be tangled/intertwined with the darkness of my own mind)... although if anyone is reading this and your on that road, chances are that you might be able to put it behind you, and succeed where I can't... Never give up!!!
I’m very sorry for your struggles, but I understand your comment. I have bipolar disorder, but I also wouldn’t change that. It helped make me who I am today, which is someone who is stronger bc of it.
@@ctobolsk I know exactly what you mean... I would never have become the strong man I am today if I wasn't autistic and chronically depressed. Instead I would be a weak p___y, and nobody wants to see that.
Ren has frequently spoken of creating "empathy windows" with his art, and he chose to resurrect times in his life that are intensely hard as part of that--for all of us... those who suffer and those who need to learn about the depths. Thank you Ren. May we continue to be worthy of your trust.
Always love your reactions, too! REN’s life is a tribute to people who suffer these conditions, like Lyme, ME, MCAS, MS, etc. we love our ‘stem cell poster boi’.
I am still fighting severe chronic pain that started 15 years ago and gets worse every day. Ren is my Angel and Ambassador of Hope. Love your reactions
Ren is a shining star 🌟 beautiful soul I'm so glad I found him he's made a difference for me in my thinking his positive talent and determination to live is so inspirational 😊 thank you for sharing ❤
Americans always seem very keen to make Ren a Christian, lol. He's said, on several occasions, that he's not religious. He's said it in interviews, he's written it, he said it in Eden. He even said so in one of the Chapters. He described that when he became desperate his rational mind receded and he was willing to try anything. He got involved with various relgions and belief systems, including Christianity, including Shamanism and including 'dark magic'. Funnily enough, none of them worked... He says the problem he had, even with the ones he enjoyed, like the Korean Buddhist chanting, was that he was never able to believe in any of them. Ren enjoys exploring and utilising religious imagery, of all kinds but he's not a believer. He hasn't entirely ruled any of them out but his lack of belief in any of them, means that he most definitely hasn't ruled any of them IN. I think he'd like to believe but just idoesn't. He'll sometimes 'speak to god' anyway, just in case but so far has received no answers and found no belief. Even his 'maybe' god is a generic god, rather than one specific to any particular religion. :)
There's a very good documentary on RUclips. Called "Lyme disease and the fight for recognition" they talk to people that are suffering from it. And their experiences. And it's just how Ren describes it. It on the D C documentary channel. Worth watch for anyone interested in what it's like to live with. Very moving in parts. The comments are worth reading too.
Ren is a lyrical genius! And this song gets me every time!!... Due to having fibromyalgia and him mentioning it, amongst other illnesses. I appreciate him for that. And him working to get it out there for us who suffer. Thanks for the reaction, respect always. Love from the UK 💯🙌🖐️
We keep the fight going for sure! Ren has helped me, after 2 years away from singing, (because of illness knocking me off my feet!)....im getting my band back together! And that is thanks to Rens inspirational story, shared with us (had to add this comment too) 💯🙏🙌 I gave up on life,but hope and faith brought me back. And I want to thank Ren for so much. I hope he knows how many people he's helped..I am but one mere mortal. But one he has helped for sure 🙏💯
The elastic band reference is what people are told by mental health teams, put on your wrist to feel pain instead of self harm and cutting yourself, harm reduction.
REN- TROUBLES [Intro: Vera Hall] Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard Repeating [Verse] I don't reach into the past very much For these shards of shattered glass and harsh paper cuts Leave me stuck when I reach in memories are seeped in hydrochloric acid I go to war and get passive and freeze up But music helped the ice to thaw Put a chisel in the middle swing the hammer of Thor Pull it out of the impossible, excalibur sword Etching note pads full of reasons why my feelings arе sore The first day that I got sick ejеcted from cockpit of living Nineteen, young teen, waking up bitten Posters up, manhunt, Ren went missing Hard to have faith when the gods don't listen The first year maybe was the hardest Waking in a body that was buried like a carcass Brain in the lions den, body in a shark pit Waking up in pain again, aching, brokenhearted Persistent little bugger I was bouncing from a doctor To a doctor to a doctor like a table tennis game that has no end So be the fate of Ren Every single question answered with a question on the end The second year I came to terms with giving up my dreams Mind was severed from the means that helped me write these rhyme schemes Brain was inflamed. the fatigue was crushing Hard to remain sane with your brain combusting And the third year was murder, living in a purga- Tory full of worry, wouldn't live to be thirty Lifestyle hurt me, always in my bed tomb Re-arrange the alphabet and all the letters spell "doom" Light hurt my eyes, popping pills to survive When you're twenty-three and mentally you steadily decline Twenty-four I was poor, disability benefits What's the benefit of disability? It's irrelevant Twenty-five and the scars that were etched, they cracked Elastic bands only stretch so far and then snap Deep in psychosis, hallucinations, troubled vision Visits from the underworld were conjuring my superstition Twenty-five, living back at home with my mum But not because I'm a bum, alone and physically done So thin, so frail, so weak I'd become And my skin so pale, never kissed by the Sun One time I carved a whole in my chest, just to feel I wish that was a metaphor, the struggle was real When you're living in a holocaust you buckle and kneel There's relief in the teeth of the kiss of cold steel Facts, twenty-six I'm highly medicated and the pain sophisticated While I'm laying broke and naked on my back I brought my microphone into my coffin, started droppin' Raw thoughts with the grim reaper knocking on the track Then man, lo and behold I heard an angel beckon on this treacherous road Was a stem cell doctor with a generous glow And a cell transplant brought me out of the cold And my skin got younger and my body got stronger And my stomach felt hunger for a door that was closed And my soul heard music for the first time Beauty was a word I'd use for this gift of gold Oh Lord, I forgive you, Lord I forgive you Lord, I forgive you, make me whole This music I give you, pain that I live through Everything I've been through is yours to hold
Canada and Britain won't treat Lyme disease. I believe it's an insurance thing. They do a test here in Canada but it's a red herring. People have to go to the states for the test. It's obscene that they'd rather turn a blind eye toward it, leaving those suffering to circle the drain of mis-diagnosis and incorrect treatment than actually test and treat.
❤❤ I know this is maybe a crazy 🤪 request, but I just came across this reactor she is a very old Irish grandma who loves Ren. Her channel is pretty small but if you remember next time you talk to Ren or can send him a note to drop a comment on her page it wld probably mean the world to her. Her channel is TheScottishGran ❤ ❤
Now we need to get this to the ears of the people inflicting this misery, who disappear the inconvenient truths…the people suffering. Looking forward to his new chapters..hope and the light twinkling at the end of the tunnel. 🪽🫶🏻🫂🏴🤍
Love you brother ❤
Love you too !
Love you to bro just seeing this
Love that you watch the reactions and take the time from your busy life, respect man! 🙏💯🙌
The 8 Chapters and this song should be required in medical schools
Amen to that!
Here here! 100%. Coming from someone who has worked in the Medical Field for nearly 30 years, I couldn’t agree more with this statement 👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Zackly... as HI Ren autta be mandatory for the psych classes!
💯 It would be an incredible case study. If nothing else than to not be so dismissive when patients are sharing their symptoms.

REN- TROUBLES
[Intro: Vera Hall]
Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
Repeating
[Verse]
I don't reach into the past very much
For these shards of shattered glass and harsh paper cuts
Leave me stuck when I reach in memories are seeped in hydrochloric acid
I go to war and get passive and freeze up
But music helped the ice to thaw
Put a chisel in the middle swing the hammer of Thor
Pull it out of the impossible, excalibur sword
Etching note pads full of reasons why my feelings arе sore
The first day that I got sick ejеcted from cockpit of living
Nineteen, young teen, waking up bitten
Posters up, manhunt, Ren went missing
Hard to have faith when the gods don't listen
The first year maybe was the hardest
Waking in a body that was buried like a carcass
Brain in the lions den, body in a shark pit
Waking up in pain again, aching, brokenhearted
Persistent little bugger I was bouncing from a doctor
To a doctor to a doctor like a table tennis game that has no end
So be the fate of Ren
Every single question answered with a question on the end
The second year I came to terms with giving up my dreams
Mind was severed from the means that helped me write these rhyme schemes
Brain was inflamed. the fatigue was crushing
Hard to remain sane with your brain combusting
And the third year was murder, living in a purga-
Tory full of worry, wouldn't live to be thirty
Lifestyle hurt me, always in my bed tomb
Re-arrange the alphabet and all the letters spell "doom"
Light hurt my eyes, popping pills to survive
When you're twenty-three and mentally you steadily decline
Twenty-four I was poor, disability benefits
What's the benefit of disability? It's irrelevant
Twenty-five and the scars that were etched, they cracked
Elastic bands only stretch so far and then snap
Deep in psychosis, hallucinations, troubled vision
Visits from the underworld were conjuring my superstition
Twenty-five, living back at home with my mum
But not because I'm a bum, alone and physically done
So thin, so frail, so weak I'd become
And my skin so pale, never kissed by the Sun
One time I carved a whole in my chest, just to feel
I wish that was a metaphor, the struggle was real
When you're living in a holocaust you buckle and kneel
There's relief in the teeth of the kiss of cold steel
Facts, twenty-six I'm highly medicated and the pain sophisticated
While I'm laying broke and naked on my back
I brought my microphone into my coffin, started droppin'
Raw thoughts with the grim reaper knocking on the track
Then man, lo and behold
I heard an angel beckon on this treacherous road
Was a stem cell doctor with a generous glow
And a cell transplant brought me out of the cold
And my skin got younger and my body got stronger
And my stomach felt hunger for a door that was closed
And my soul heard music for the first time
Beauty was a word I'd use for this gift of gold
Oh Lord, I forgive you, Lord I forgive you
Lord, I forgive you, make me whole
This music I give you, pain that I live through
Everything I've been through is yours to hold
Thankyou for your thoughtful reaction ❤
Great reaction ❤️🕊️👏🏻
❤ love your reactions and always worth the wait 😊
awesome Nick 💜
Hope
So good
❤❤❤❤
It doesn’t have to be the same thing. It can be anyone going through anything
