I think this is why we all gather and connect with REN. The struggles, the sharing, the reality the messages. Also his talent, but he is connecting. Giving hope and uplifting.
I have seen the bts of this. The mic stand had been broken off so there was tape and his feet and legs holding the mic in place. There was also the computer and leads in the foot well and the neon light taped to the back of the drivers seat. Kinda looked like a Rubik's Cube back there. This was filmed in a Tesla for the quiet and was done a month before the other one . I think Ren is anti religion but connected to his own higher self. He says he envys people of faith.
"Troubles so hard" was originally done by Vera Hall back in the 1930s. Moby, a techno artist, also used the refrain in his own way. I think Ren obtained the rights for it from whoever is in charge of the Vera Hall original.
@@supertuscans9512.. The Library of Congress holds the copyright to that particular Vera Hall recording, which is just that, a recording of her singing Troubles So Hard, no music, while sitting on her front porch on a hot Alabama day in 1937.
I’m surprised that is still within copyright but then I profess no great expertise on the subject of Copyright but vaguely recall they typically expire after 70 years or so. Seems a bit strange as I think drug patents only last 15 years or so.
Ren has stated that he is Agnostic , I am too & I think maybe like me & a lot of others who have been thru so much pain in this life we have questions ,we want to believe but we are searching for answers & we are searching for relief ..
He is my voice. Our stories are very similar - lyme and autoimmune disease 🦠 He tells his story but tells mine at the same time. He tells 💯 the truth 😊🦠💚🦠💚
The song is a summary of his struggles with health and mental issues. For a detailed account, check out his narrated story that he filmed in 8 chapters before the song dropped. Found on his other YT channel, Renmakesstuff.
Great reaction as always. I would love to see you react to Ren - Back on 74 / Message In A Bottle (Live retake). It's a great mix of styles and song from different eras that really work well together.
There is a studio version of this with cool production/video. There is also an instrumental version - which allows you to hear the backing music/production better without Ren's vocals
Ren is first to admit his spirituality fluctuates from nihilistic to agnostic to more spieitual. He went months without his cross earring abd fairly recently started wearing a cross necklace. He has sampled many religions, always cynical about mankind's ability to twist any message for his own greed and desire for power. He does talk about it in his 8 Chapters, documenting his nightmare trying to find healing.
Shure SM7B Dynamic Vocal Microphone. My Guess for the recording equipment probably a Zoom R24, R16 or R8. Very portable can be battery powered. 8 Inputs so multiple mics plus plug in the guitar with EQ and Compression. Saves multi track to SDHC cards. What I would use in that kind of environment. Certainly with the R24 plenty of room to mix down the track on the road loads of effect such as reverb and compression built in and you can link it straight to a DAW.
In the original he explains his story somewhat in msgs at the bottom of the MV its what he pulls from his life has been torture IDK if I could have done the same and struggled through what this man went through...Thats why every time he sings/raps/performs you feel it right down in the middle of your soul.
the "Trouble so hard" Lyric at the begining and end is von Vera Hall. Ren is not a normal beliver in a religious way. But maybe he belives in a God. I can not tell. He mention somthing like this in the stream after his Hi Ren Video, where he explained what he meant with "...what seperate us from angles, demons and God!"
It’s a Shure SM7B. Love this version, Ren always kills his acoustic takes, but the context provided in the original video with the messages about chronic illness and the need for hope, especially if you take the time to watch his 8 ‘episodes’ on his RenMakesStuff channel where he talks about his journey, accompanied by relevant music, is incredibly powerful. Said it a thousand times but for me he’s the most important artist in decades. Love your reaction, as always.
Pertaining to Ren, I am still hoping to see you react to "Money Game part 3" and "Back on '74/Message in a bottle retake". Great job here. Hope you react to Chinchilla's "1:5 (live)" sooner than later too
@@samanthazwickel.. Don't ya love people forgetting the "in us" part so conveniently. It's weird, every time I see someone do that, they happen to be of a particular theological ideology if ya catch my drift 😂😂
He's said in the past he was agnostic (I think it was in The Charismatic Voice interview iirc but it may have been one of his lives) but only because in his time of psychosis he thought the maybe he was battling evil and truly studied world religions searching for healing but there was no answer so because of that he had to conclude he just had no way of knowing. That being said, all his songs that touch on religion in the past have been based around Christianity and in the last few it seems to me at least, he may be being drawn to Christianity. It also may simply be parts are resonating with him now. His post today on his second channel had a lot of Biblical themes sprinkled in
Lyme, myalgic encephalomyelitis, other invisible illnesses can be incredibly insidious. Ren was lucky to get the opportunity to try stem cells, and them be effective. They aren’t effective for many. Thank you for the reaction. I believe you were thinking of Shure, as the microphone name.
I think I prefer the original video, for it's raw power and grit. This one is a tad more plaintive. What you don't see is how Ren is wedged in the back seat with all the sound equipment, and the mic gaffer taped to hold it up. Josh driving, avoiding potholes, and Kai (possibly gaffer taped as well 😉) filming and not falling over. No idea how many takes. They do a lot of route, and site scouting before hand.
hugs fun reaction time for Murderer produced and then murderer live i think u will love reacting to both these track on one vid! , u can then talk about the diffence cause u are a rapper and a singer u would get this! also time for a 4th friend eden nash Ren and Eden does a song called Humble! and one last one blind eyed ( must be mc session live verison )
Hello seen your reactions really cool. would love to see you react to ren love music part 2,3 and 4 And ren down on the beat If you like rens cheeky british humour lol Much love from 🇬🇧🏴
Listen, if you want to swim in you won delusions of an omnipotent sky daddy and his zombie son coming to save all of us, that is your prerogative, but please don't claim something so personal for someone else, and put that on them as a matter of fact statement. Sheesh, such typical "true believer" behavior.
I'm going to throw this in. You don't have to be religious to be connected to your Spirit. In fact, in many ways it is an advantage to not have a middleman between yourself and the Divine. Your journey is then being guided by your wise higher-self rather than a bloke in a frock being guided by his tribe and ego.
I love you and your reactions BUT I have been begging you to do one you somehow missed and it's one of his best. You even commented back to me that you would but you still haven't... WHYYYY?!!! BACK ON 74/ MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE RETAKE!!!!
Well then you obviously don't know the definition of music, which is fine, so is not caring for Ren's style of music, but to go out of your way to make a comment denying it's music, and calling it "crap", just shows your lack of any cognitive reasoning or honest interpretation of things, and the world around you. In case that went over your head, it means you lack intelligence so you must lash out at things you can't comprehend.
Moby's did NOT make this song ,Moby sampled Vera Hall's original song Trouble so Hard but Ren paid for the rights to use the sample & reportedly Moby did not but eventually gave credit after legal threats were made ,Ren did it the right way to begin with as he has always had a lot of respect for Vera Hall ..
REN's music is more an experience than just a good listen, and it is an experience that so many people can relate to.
I think this is why we all gather and connect with REN. The struggles, the sharing, the reality the messages. Also his talent, but he is connecting. Giving hope and uplifting.

Thank you for the summary. I saw it on his patreon, but ai appreciate you writing it out.

Most likely out of Copyright.

For many reasons REN's music is important.
I'll say it 100 times, Ren is so refreshing
He is my voice. Our stories are very similar - lyme and autoimmune disease 🦠 He tells his story but tells mine at the same time. He tells 💯 the truth 😊🦠💚🦠💚
Thank you for another great reaction! I think you would love Chinchilla's new 1:5 (the live version!).
I always appreciate your insight and reactions. He has a video of this that you might enjoy (non acoustic)
We missed you on ren reactions. You've missed a couple of new releases from ren. Would love for you to hear your reactions. ❤
The song is a summary of his struggles with health and mental issues. For a detailed account, check out his narrated story that he filmed in 8 chapters before the song dropped. Found on his other YT channel, Renmakesstuff.

The dude is totally beyond awesome 🔥🔥🔥
There is a studio version of this with cool production/video. There is also an instrumental version - which allows you to hear the backing music/production better without Ren's vocals
If you want to hear his full story that goes along with this song, he created 8 Chapters on his RenMakesStuff page that goes into those years.
His style is amazing right > Whether it's a Leopard fur coat. pants suit or track suits - Ren looks amazing
Hi. Ren is agnostic, but he has a wide knowledge and understanding of religions, from a sociological perspective.
Outwardly agnostic, but in his last few songs i can sense a change of heart. The holy spirit is most definitely at work
Yup. He knows Christian symbolism and uses it as it’s culturally pervasive, even if your not a follower.
@@defaultbeasty7964 In the eyes of a believer all signs point to god. I hear only despair.
@@defaultbeasty7964that is your opinion. People don’t need to be religious to be spiritual. Especially life paths 7’s like Ren.

This is an acoustic version of his original Troubles that dropped May 9th
He is just so incredible...thanks

Don't miss Chinchilla 1:5 live. It's 🔥
He says at the end of one of his tracks (maybe Dear God, Depression, or Insomnia) that he is an agnostic who believes.
An agnostic who believes in us.
It was in his Eden video that was made to conclude his scavenger hunt for his Money Game trilogy.

Love ren!
In his work "Eden" Ren states that he is agnostic.

You still havent done his PDC song, Back on 74. You'll love it
Soon!

Kai gaffer taped..😂
No he isn't a believer ...he believes in people ❤❤❤
Pleez do Ren's - Back to 74 / Message in a bottle retake
Great stuff.. did you react to rens back on 74 yet.. if not,i think you will love it
hugs fun reaction time for Murderer produced and then murderer live i think u will love reacting to both these track on one vid! , u can then talk about the diffence cause u are a rapper and a singer u would get this! also time for a 4th friend eden nash Ren and Eden does a song called Humble! and one last one blind eyed ( must be mc session live verison )
The mic is probably a Shure brand microphone.
Ren is agnostic, he has said this a number of times
Ren is fire. Your reaction? Also fire!
React to Meet Karl Pilkington!
I think he’s in the limo (hearse) we see in the other video of Troubles!
as a musician i can tell you SURE MICROPHONES are the premier mics for any need
Well as someone who read your comment, i can tell you you're not a musician or haven't been one long enough to know wtf you're talking about.
Hello seen your reactions really cool. would love to see you react to ren love music part 2,3 and 4
And ren down on the beat
If you like rens cheeky british humour lol
Much love from 🇬🇧🏴
🔥👏👏
shure sm7-b is the mic
Agnostic
It's a Shure SM7B
Hi! I did a short from this video. Where can I send it to you?
Hi , would you react to back on 74 by Ren. I don't know if you have reacted to it , I think you would like it x
😍😍👍👍✔✔
I like the acoustic version, but musically, I prefer the original.
Ren says he's confused a little but does believe in a higher power,if you want to call that God then I don't believe he would argue
If you want to know his religious views, watch EDEN. It's not a song, but it's still incredible.
science is the GOD, thank stemcells...
nope at most an agnostic...hes a thinking person🙂, oops saw another (previous poster)already posted almost same my bad... :-)
far as i know he agnostic
You need to go back to Hi Ren for research
♥♥♥REN Back on 74/message in a bottle retake Please...♥♥♥
You can say "No!", to God, but if you do what is in order with his will, you are a beleiver! Ren is such beleiver!
Listen, if you want to swim in you won delusions of an omnipotent sky daddy and his zombie son coming to save all of us, that is your prerogative, but please don't claim something so personal for someone else, and put that on them as a matter of fact statement. Sheesh, such typical "true believer" behavior.
Which god?
I'm going to throw this in.
You don't have to be religious to be connected to your Spirit.

When will you react to Brazilian artists? We are waiting.
Which ones?
@@brittreacts “O melhor pra mim” Eli Soares feat. Ed Motta. Or “É isso aí” Ana Carolina feat. Seu Jorge.
Thought id check out my girl britt .. you get a chance check out laurah Louisa- don't know why and hunter dan can't lett'em breathe

BACK ON 74/ MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE RETAKE!!!!
He's agnostic, but I think he comes down on the side of faith when push comes to shove
This is such crap! Not music!
Well then you obviously don't know the definition of music, which is fine, so is not caring for Ren's style of music, but to go out of your way to make a comment denying it's music, and calling it "crap", just shows your lack of any cognitive reasoning or honest interpretation of things, and the world around you.

Canadian called Moby made this song go listen
its origionally first recorded in the late 1920's i think,, its an old gospel type thing from the southern states
Britt, listen to the other version of this to at least hear the first 45 seconds.
Moby's did NOT make this song ,Moby sampled Vera Hall's original song Trouble so Hard but Ren paid for the rights to use the sample & reportedly Moby did not but eventually gave credit after legal threats were made ,Ren did it the right way to begin with as he has always had a lot of respect for Vera Hall ..
Ren paid Vera Halls family for the rights to the original 1930. Moby sampled it as well.
