“There’s nothing left to be done with music, all areas have been discovered.”
Ren: “hold my beer”
😂😂😂.
NICE
💯🫡😀
😂
🤣🤣🤣
I'm a 65 year old man, and I think this young man saved the rest of my life. Thanks for your reaction. You got my sub.
Amen brother
Bro we are on the same page
59 y o, ren is beyond anything
I've ever seen
Peace
I'm 60! Isn't he BRILLIANT? 😏✌️
I'm 52 and I am amazed at how Ren connects at all levels, types, and ages!
I think Ren has saved lots of lives. Can’t remember the last time a song touched me so much. I think there are so many parts of this song that so many humans can relate to. Infinitely clever. Pure artistry.
"The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)" is a goddamn masterpiece from Ren.
"Chalk Outlines", his collaboration with Chinchilla brings tears to my eyes every damn time.
Not forgetting his rap and his songs with the big push band.He does it all and everything is awesome
Chalk Outlines "live" version
"How to be me" w/ Chinchilla is amazing too. "Money game 2" & "Illest of our time" are him rapping and he is just so damn talented.....Him busking with The Big Push "I shot the Sheriff" & "Wade in the water" are freaking amazing too.....he can do it all. I am so glad "Hi Ren" took off and then we have discovered the other music he has been making for literally years !!!!
Don't forget how to be me.
It’s crazy because you hear this (Hi Ren) then go to the tales trilogy, chalked outlines, and then last I Shot The Sheriff cover and it’s all different styles of music and vocals. Ren is a true artist, don’t forget he writes and produces everything in his music, AMAZING
He jokingly calls his genre "Bardcore".
Ren is a genius. There hasn't been an artist like him in years.
So, yesterday I decided to look Ren up on Wikipedia and looked under the heading "Genre", Bardcore was on the list...it really should have just said, "He does everything" lol!
really, there hasn't been an artist like him EVER
There is a type of music called bardcore...but Ren ain't it.
I suggest neobardcore
@@markupton1417 Oooooh! I like it!
A bard ! THAT'S what I was thinking he reminded me of in the back of my head.
I swear to god, there could be an entire college level course analyzing this song. I love how Ren's monologue at the end re-contextualizes the song. The brighter the light shines, the darker the shadow it casts. The "dark" Ren doesn't escalate until Ren starts to get more confident.
I am putting together a unit to teach at high school. I teach English (written and visual) as well as psychology. This song and video is just a masterpiece and is a message everyone needs to hear.
Tears said it all. Ren hits our inner turbulence through showing his vulnerability. We become exposed to ourselves and it's beautiful. Sub'd
Love the way you worded this. It was 💯 his vulnerability that caused the dam to break. He is also very talented.
@@MatandChelsReact Heya guys! How about some less-known songs by Epica?
Only Epica can write a beautiful song about an oil rig disaster. 🙂
Deep Water Horizon (Lyrics) ruclips.net/video/cSA9cuk6KqE/видео.html
I'm 71 years old. For me there is no age gap. I have seen this presentation by Ren numerous times and I STILL am choked up. Ren just lays himself out there for us, it is simply unselfish of him. Thank you, Ren! Thank you, Mat and Chels for your heartfelt reaction!
The best I've ever heard. 65. I'm so glad I lived to see him perform. He is LIFECHANGING. His words don't have an age stamp. EVERYONE should experience this. WE NEED IT.
U guys should check out more of rens work. It's brilliant 💯
Dude! Give her a long, strong hug like she never had before.
Be advised- Ren is completely addictive. I suggest Jenny and Screech next and from there the Ren Army will guide you.
Yes we will…… Enjoy the dive friends.
Ren is different ... in all ways good. This performance has brought grown men and women to tears, and made more than one person reflect, deeply, on their own life. This song is healing and cathartic to many. It is kind of the "Bohemian Rhapsody" for mental health. Ren's life story is rough, yet he is still "standing besides us today". You should go down the Ren rabbit hole and see just how talented of a performer Ren is. He is a bard like story teller, rapper, hip hop throw back, singer, and modern day minstrel. He drags people into genres like rap and hip hop that have never listened to anything in that genre, and they are awed by the performance. Great reaction ... please let the tears flow ... new sub!
I don’t comment much…..but I have to get this thought out of my HEAD!!! This human being is on a TOTALLY different level. I was left stunned and speechless. You know that “deer in the headlight “ kind of state. There is something happening. This is the message. Everyone is listening. Thanks REN. I wish you my very best. Thanks to this channel I was able to get the courage to share my thoughts and I apologize for the lengthy comment. Peace ☮️
You're absolutely right Isabel and we thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Watching chels hold back tears is the exact same as I am every time I hear this
I have watched I believe all the reactions to this absolute Masterpiece ( 150 plus ) and yet I shed more tears watching your emotional reaction , I am so pleased more people are finding this important piece of art. I love all his stuff, Chalk Outlines Live with Chinchilla gets me in the same way. I Shot the Sheriff with his group The Big Push is another classic.
Yes, I've watched a lot but Chels got me glassy-eyed when she kept wiping hers. I don't strongly relate but the more I 'know' the reactors, the more I empathise when it hits them with noticeable weight.
First time I watched Hi Ren I cried before I got to the part that makes some people cry....
Over the following weekend I watched reaction videos of it and probably cried 30 times...not exaggerating.
I cried so much that I started worrying about myself.
Now I can watch without crying...but it's such an AMAZING performance.
"He just emotionally kicked my ass, but I'm not upset about it." That about sums it all up right there. So much of his music can be summed up that way, too! Love your honest and open reactions.
Thank you!
Welcome to the RENaissance. ❤
I think you might be the first reaction I've seen to specifically name intrusive thoughts. As Ren says, it's not a battle to fight against them, but they are a part of us and we have to learn how to live and work with them, to learn how to dance.
For those of us who are creative, we have an active channel through which to guide that dance. As a writer, I use my intrusive thoughts as fodder for my work. And once they're on paper/on the screen, then they become fiction and I can move on.
If you want to dive down the rabbit hole, the usual suggestions include:
> Chalk Outlines ft Chinchilla (live) - featuring more of his singing voice
> The Tale of Jenny & Screech (full) - a tragedy from the streets of London as told by a modern bard 😿
> Sick Boi - the 2nd release from his upcoming album 🔥
> Illest of Our Time - the 3rd and most recent release from his upcoming album 🔥🔥
The following are all more rap/hiphop and are all great to listen to:
> Losing It
> The Hunger - my personal favorite just for all of the wordplay and flow changes
> Power
> Genesis
> What You Want
> Bittersweet Symphony
> Right Here, Right Now
~ Peace 🕊
I would add Money Game & Money Game 2 (Where She Sells Seashells by the Seashore comes from).
@@melissatodd560 Indeed; I did miss putting those in. Good catch.
I've watched the Hi Ren video too many times to count, and I still find myself tearing up. You said it best, "he just emotionally kicked my ass and I'm not upset about it."!
You have to watch this video many times. 1st time can be emotional. Another time to appreciate the poetry in the lyrics. Another time to appreciate the music, yes a bit chaotic in places, to fit the theme.
The first time I was TRAUMATIZED....I started therapy....now I love to watch reactions, and am able to enjoy the music, the wordplay, the acting.....It was all TOO MUCH at first. Too much truth. Bite the bullet, watch the whole thing FIRST. Go ahead and cry, everyone does. Then go back and watch it again, and again. I love the other reactions....I'm not alone, not by a LONG SHOT....He just put SPOTLIGHTS on the elephant in the room, and calls it out without hesitation. This is so much more important than music being "pretty" or "soothing." So much more than "I can dance to it." Who cares? This....THIS is everything.
I wasn't expecting this reaction from you guys but I'm so glad it happened 🖤
Thank you for your vulnerability. You're both beautiful humans.
He's an amazing artist, enjoy the rabbit hole.
Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any piece of art that effected me like this has.
Go Bruins.
I think I’ve seen at least 50 reactions to this masterpiece and yours are one of the really good ones ❤
Welcome to the Ren rabbithole. He’s a Unicorn!
REN is genre fluid 😂. I've been down the rabbit hole over 2 months. My current favorite is ""How to be Me ". It's extremely dynamic.
Great start on Ren rabbit hole!
Now to hear how he can sing. Check out his and Chinchilla's Chalk outlines. They are awesome together 👍
Ren is just so different, for his bard-like storytelling, check out 'The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)', for some incredible singing check out Chalk Outlines (live) or How to be me (live), for Rap... The Hunger, Losing it, or his newest drop 'Illest of our time'. For some of the coolest vibe busking ever, check out him out with his band The Big Push - I shot the sheriff/Road to zion/ hip hop. New sub from me & looking forward to checking out your content. Peace
Check a rapper called complete if you haven't you won't be disappointed
Mental health is a really big problem and it needs to be spoken more about to save more lives. Thanks for the great reaction guys🤘
TRUTH!
@@MatandChelsReact and I must not forget, we must not forget that we are human beings
Great reaction. Ren became seriously ill in 2010 but his condition was misdiagnosed for 6 or 7 years. The meds he was given just made him worse and he was often stuck in bed for up to 23 hours a day. He became resigned to not surviving his 20s. In 2016 he was finally correctly diagnosed with Lyme Disease and he was given stem cell transplants which improved his health. However the years of incorrect treatments have left Ren with a badly damaged immune system and some brain damage. He is currently receiving specialist treatment in Canada which is likely to take at least 6 months
Since this came out; several friends of mine who were suffering from somewhat sudden onset of inexplicable mental issues....They tested them for Lyme disease. RIGHT AWAY. Both had it. Both are now getting APPROPRIATE help for their PHYSICAL issues. I am so grateful he has raised awareness.
Ren is just simply amazing... Period
I've seen this a million times...you guys got me glassy eyed. It hits those who relate harder because its Ren's lived experience too. But he can hit hard with any story...you'll see 😁
Everything in this clip is genius. The music, the lyrics, the videography and his performance all contributed to a piece of art.
Let's not forget about Ren's immaculate jawline 🫣
Witnessing the rise of Ren is like a disturbance in the force. I think we are all part of a change that will ripple through humanity. People are opening up about their mental health issues, being supported and comforted by strangers in the most beautiful way. I feel a change in the wind, says I 🖤🖤🖤 Rens music is pure dopamine
That video was done with a budget of 1000 pounds. Ren is a genius and so humanly real
Hiya Mat and Chels, you have so much more to come from Ren and The Big Push, enjoy 🎶🐦.
One of the amazing realizations about this song is it is so layered and profound yet it’s One man with only a guitar! It feels like so much more. That’s the amazing artistry of Ren.
just to let u know, it's a one shot live performence, took 4 tries
Samuel Perry-Falvey who filmed Hi Ren, has clarified that in the comments of Jonathan Hiller's reaction to the song. Audio was indeed recorded live but the video is not a one-shot video. You can see Samuel's comments here: ruclips.net/video/epOakEENUZw/видео.html
such a beautiful reaction, thank you. i have showed this video to friends of mine with musical tastes across the genre spectrum, and everyone loved it. his message and his story are very inspiring. he’s blowing up faster than anyone i can remember in a very long time.
Thank you so much. Words can't describe Rens diversity and talent.
Another Great Reaction, if you fall down the Ren Rabbit Hole like everyone else has the next one to check out is, Ren - The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full), make sure you do this version as it's a Trilogy of connected Songs
His dudes library is already as deep AF. I am a huge Pink Floyd and Nightwish fan, and Ren is as deep a rabbithole as them, from straight rap rap to this to amazing reggae ..I Shot the Sheriff/Zion, Sick Boi, The Illist of Our Time, the Hunger, and so much more
"It emotionally kicked my ass, and I'm not upset about it". 1st I've heard that, and it's a perfect description of its effect. Great reaction 👏👏
she's so precious, I just wanna give her a hug when I see that first tear run down 🥺 ren is amazing
This just hits. I want the world to protect Ren & I can't wait to see him well
Loved your guys' reaction. I hope you take a dive down the Ren rabbit hole because there is a lot of great stuff there.
If you do I strongly encourage you to check out these two:
The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full Version) - it's long as it is a trilogy of songs in one video but well worth the time
Chalk Outlines (Live) - Beautiful song with another artist Chinchilla
Either way, thanks for sharing your experience, it is more meaningful than you think.
Great reaction! I think you two are going to like everything Ren does...and it's all therapy for the soul...and who doesn't need that?
Loved your reaction to this true GENIUS. I've liked & subscribed in anticipation of you reacting to more Ren.
Cheers 👍🍻
By the way....this is live.
Been on your channel for a long time for the metal reactions. Really happy to see you do this song. It should be ubiquitous
Beautiful reaction. Thank you for sharing with us. The comments will point you to where down Ren Rabbit hole you might wanna go. Enjoy & welcome to the Reniverse! Thank you! 🥰🙏🏽❤️
Reniverse! We like it!
Wow! This was emotional. I had watch you guys twice for this reaction.
Great reaction guys! Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole! Hope you dive deeper into his amazing catalogue of music. He raps, sings, tells hard hitting bard-like tales and utterly defies genre. He also has busked with his band The Big Push and try as you might you won't find a bad track in any of it.
So many millions of views -- Is knowing we're dancing alone together a comfort? I think it is. Thanks Ren.
Yes I agree Everyone should hear this song! Stellar reaction. Up in the top tier of the reactions I’ve been watching for the last two months. Thousand thumbs up!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Damn & This emotionally kicked my ass. Sums it up properly, I love it. Ren is a strong buck, and his music is a huge relief this day in age. Lyrical genius and I look forward to more of your reactions, cheers!
Thank you so much for disabling the CC, they're broken for his video and inaccurate. Part of me wants to think because he's independent he may not get the same treatment as artist on a label but that's purely speculative. I believe the CC distracts from the performance with them being jumbled and inaccurate so thank you for having the intuition to disable them when you noticed it. Thank you for the sincerity you expressed, you have a new subscriber.
"Emotionally kicked my arse and am not upset about it"....Perfect description ....a TRUE reaction video, your faces spoke more words than those with pause button...Thanks.. really enjoyed watching..
Thank you for the kind words! We have more Ren coming this week!
Chels, I could not take my eyes off you for especially the last half of the video. your emotional expression was exquisite.
"I'm the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope" hits me every time I hear it. Been there, man. Such a beautiful sentiment.
ren hits different, emotional roller coster, speaking to millions with a work of art
“He emotionally kicked my ass. And I’m not upset about it”….👍👍
Great job guys.
Jenny, Screech and Violet by Ren will blow your minds..... It's a rollercoaster that every word needs hearing ✊🏽
Beautiful reaction Matt and Chels. Ren is a genius and a masterclass in storytelling. His music hits on serious mental health issues and it's very therapeutic for me as well as for many others. I hope you guys continue down his rabbit hole, you won't be disappointed I promise. Love Y'all. 🙏❤
Something to keep in mind with Ren's videos. Ren and his cinematographer Sam don't do anything by accident they are both sticklers for detail. Everything you hear or see is intentional, this includes shadows, breathing, his facial expressions... for example(spoiler free) in the tales of Jenny and Screech, he visibly shakes himself to prepare for one section.... they are fantastic together. Ren creates the art, and Sam captures it perfectly
The more you learn about Ren and his story and continued struggles the more and more you become a fan. His story alone is what made me become a fan but then I listened to his music… when people say this guy is on a whole different level, it’s really no exaggeration. He dips into so many different genres from folk to hip hop to reggae to classic rock, etc. He also plays literally every instrument, produces and mixes his own beats for his rap songs, and for his music videos it’s usually himself and his friends working the cameras. He’s a Busker in the UK and has been doing this since he was 12 years old. His latest single Illest of Our Time came out a couple weeks ago on his 33rd birthday. There’s not many people in this world that truly “get” music the way that Ren does. I truly hope you dive into more of his stuff to see his full range!
Loved your reaction, subscribed to the channel hoping I get to watch you react to some of his other material. You will be surprised at his diversity and the depth of his lyrics.
I absolutely love Ren, I've been listening to him for around 5-6 years and his music has always stuck with me and helped me through so much, especially with this song. I'm a schizophrenic so I just connect to this song so much and has thankfully helped me through a lot of darkness
Try more the Ren rabbit hole is very addictive!
🙏🏼 Thank *YOU* for a beautiful genuine heartfelt reaction to Ren’s masterful composition and performance and Sam’s incredible 🎥cinematography. Hope you’ll enjoy more of Ren’s work. 🤞🏼 It’s amazing how talented he is on so many levels and how he is connecting with people and then that’s helping those people connect to others - uplifting us all. 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼
Love this song. Our biggest critic is ourselves. If that voice wins we give up but we can always push through and prove that voice wrong.
I really appreciate your reaction. Chels, as I saw you listening, it was like me listening for the first time. Ren's material is so raw and vulnerable, and most importantly, it connects us all in a time where we are so disconnected. This performance transcends anything I have ever seen before, and it is a true work of art. Ren has suffered for so long with many illnesses, and for him to put his heart and soul into this had to be exhausting (Lyme disease can be so brutal). Like he said, he is choosing to be a student, and not a victim. How empowering!
Soooo glad you guys reacted to this!!!! As soon as I heard it I looked to see if you guys did a reaction yet. I have listened to this song at least 30 times and every time I get choked up. He is an artist….there are no words after this song…. What a wonderful reaction
Thank you, such a great song!
A bruins Jersey AND Ren.
This must be heaven
I was thinking the same thing!! when I noticed it was Chara, I figured either he’s been a long time fan or he got it off some clearance rack for a buck. haha
LET’S GO BRU-INS!!
It was nice seeing Silent Bob review this song. Sorry guys, I make jokes when shit gets too real. This song makes me cry EVERY time.
Amazing reaction guys. Ren is such a breath of fresh air. He is an unbelievable story teller. Welcome to Rens rabbit hole 😁🔥
I still cry when I watch this and I've watched it several times. It's a beautiful and powerful performance.
"I have stood in the flames that cremated my brain and I didn't once flinch or shake" was so so so good
Excellent reaction. You need to go down the Ren rabbit hole. So diverse and such a good dude.
We will be!
Ren is a Profound Performance Artist, an artist that the world needs! Great reaction video, Thank You,
The infamous words to take from this and when you hear it is "You are your own worse critic." This is true in so many ways. The fact that he expresses it so much to where the fact that when you listen to this. There are so many ways that people to relate to it. It's not just something that is true for musicians but so many other people can suffer from this. All of us have that constant internal struggle and have that consistent battle that we must overcome. We suffer through it and some people may not understand it. A LOT of people will definitely be able to relate to this. I have responded to this song on other channels and it's always refreshing to see other peoples reaction. To know that other people have some form of connection to it. To know that there are people who relate to this and I am still always enjoying said reactions. Not just from this but from the other rather deep one that he has done. I am sure you guys have reacted to it but if you haven't the name of it is called "Su*cide"
I've watched this song and reactions so many times but watching you feel it for the first time brought a tear to my eye all over again,... Go down the Ren rabbit hole, it's a special place and not all of his music will make you cry, he is cross genres x
Also also. The “she sells sea shells on the sea shore” part. He’s referring to an earlier song of his. Money game pt2. The whole verse is genius
I saw a post about the Big Push and I looked back to see if you reacted to them.
I noticed 2 things. You commented on how talented Ren is and I also saw that you guys are fans of rock music.
Ren was (not sure if he still is) on a band called The Big Push. They have a few videos of them doing street performances in the U.K.
They do War Pigs, Painted Black, Sympathy for the Devil and Paranoid by Black Sabbath. Wait until you hear how good (great actually) Ren truly is with his vocals and, especially,his guitar play! He plays the electric guitar so well he could just be a guitar player and be great
You'll see when you react. It will blow your mind!
Great reaction folks. Buckle up for the Ren Rollercoaster. It's a wild ride!!
Ren is a brilliant genius. Every time I watch this video it still brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for your lovely reaction! Hope to see more Ren-reactions from you!
Welcome to the Ren-aissance era of music! Watch your step going down the rabbit hole. Enjoy the journey!!
We all need Ren to name our inner batlles
Chels felt it! hey... we all did. it doesn't stop, I find.... Ren is doing something that not a lot of people have never even tried.
This was an enjoyable reaction. I wrote this introduction to Ren when I first discovered him earlier this year, as there wasn’t a Wikipedia entry for people to look him up prior to March 2023. I have posted this info to every “Hi Ren” reaction I have come across since, and I hope it will be of some use to the uninitiated. “Hi Ren” is the song that put Ren on everyone's radar since December; it went viral and has garnered nearly 10 million views since its debut, but he has been creating great music for more than ten years. Ren’s music videos are generally recorded live, often in a single take, although not necessarily the first take, and from various camera angles. His release, "Sick Boi," is almost another chapter to "Hi Ren." Many of Ren’s songs resonate with people because he addresses struggles that many others face every day.
Ren is an independent artist/singer/songwriter/busker from Brighton, UK. He plays multiple instruments (acoustic, electric, and bass guitar, piano, drums), has impressive vocals, is an excellent storyteller, and is quite the philosopher and poet. He is considered by many a modern-day bard; he calls his music “bardcore.” Ren’s earliest recordings on RUclips are from his time in a band called “Trick The Fox,” consisting of Ren and his buddies Charlie and Tommy. Unfortunately, the band performed only briefly due to Ren’s onset of health issues. They are very talented. A fun clip to watch is “The Mash Up.”
Ren’s trilogy "The Tale of Jenny/Screech/Violet" has been likened to a Shakespearean tragedy and is a prime example of his genius; it is a master’s class in storytelling and also showcases his guitar skills. The three acts are haunting, and the conclusion will catch you off guard. The trilogy needs to be watched in the order given, as this is the flow of the storyline and is best watched as a whole rather than piecemeal.
Ren’s collaborations with Chinchilla (“Chalk Outlines,” “How to Be Me,” “Sexual Healing,” “One Dance/Drunk in Love”) are beautiful and showcase his singing voice. His live music videos are especially impressive. Ren's personal reflections are threaded through many of his songs; "Insomnia," "Depression," “Diazepam," “Penitence,” “Dear God,” “Heretic,” “Dominos,” his "Freckled Angels" album, just to name a few, all deserve a listen. His song "Money Game" (Part I & II) is another recommendation, although it is less of a personal song than it is an indictment of greed and the resulting injustices in this world.
Ren’s Hip Hop/Rap style songs are all worth checking out if you enjoy this genre; they are pretty amazing. Check out “Genesis,” “What You Want,” “Losing it (FISHER rap retake),” “Right Here, Right Now (Fatboy Slim one shot retake),” "Life is Funny," “Love Music (Parts 1, 2, and 3),” “Crucify Your Culture,” “Power,” "Hold On," his new release “Bittersweet symphony (The Verve retake),” and his latest release "The Illest Of Our Time," just to name a few.
Ren's performances with Sam Tompkins (“Blind Eyed,” “Earned It /Mans World / Falling,” “Walking on the Moon/No Diggity,” “Feeling Good/Trouble So High/Masterblaster (Jammin'),” “Latch,” “Wild Thoughts/Crazy in love (Live Session),” “Same Old Situation (Live, feat. Ren),” “What Went Wrong” Part I&II) are definitely a must. Also, his collaborations with Eden Nash (“Humble,” “Ocean”), Bibi (“Crutch,” “Ahiahiaoha”), Molly McKinna (“Penitence”), Orlean ("Jessica"), his former bandmate Romain Axisa (“French Song”), are all great. Last but not least, Ren’s busking sessions with Liv Sangster are awesome. I recently discovered that Ren also recorded a cover of “Can't Help Falling In Love (Elvis Cover),” that is simply beautiful.
"The Big Push" (Ren Gill, Gorran Kendall, Romain Axisa, and Glen Chambers) busking sessions, concerts, and live recordings all are amazing and well worth checking out. All but the drummer sing lead vocals at times. Ren, Gorran, and Romain all play multiple instruments. Ren plays acoustic, electric, and bass guitar, piano, and drums. Gorran plays acoustic, electric, bass guitar, and harmonica. Romain plays acoustic, electric, bass guitar, ukulele, and piano. They are each incredibly gifted artists, and their solo work is completely different from each other. Well worth checking out. Their covers of "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop," "Wade in the Water/Nina Simone/Trouble so Hard," "Watch Out," “War Pigs,” “Roadhouse Blues,” "My Generation," “Paint It Black,” "An Englishman in New York," “Bongo Bong” are awesome. On “These Boots Are Made For Walking,” “Praise You” (Fatboy Slim Cover), “What Kind Of Woman Is This,” all three take a turn singing. The songs "Oh My Woman," “Swan Song,” “Sweet Little Lady," "It's Alright," “Dignity,” and so many others are equally impressive.
The band, at least for the time being, performed their last official busking session and gave their last concert in September of last year (2022) due to the fact that Ren was leaving for Canada to undergo specialized medical care and surgeries for his multiple health issues.
In anticipation of his stay in Canada, Ren prepared some music ahead of time to be released over the next six months that he expects to be gone. He released “Sick Boi” and “Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve retake),” which is another masterful work. Ren just released his newest song, “Illest Of Our Time,” on his birthday, March 29.
Great reaction. This is one of the most human songs I've ever heard. Rips me apart every time.
The ladies statement "he's emotionally kicked my ass ,but im not upset about it ."wow .young lady .🔥
Yes. YES! Sometimes you need it. You can't go through life just shoving it all down. It was cathartic for me as well. Yes, I cried like I had not cried in years....THANK YOU REN. I GOT the help I needed!
@@valkyrie1066total respect to you .👍
If you can watch this performance for the first time and not be affected! So good reaction you two and welcome to the wonder that is Ren.
You two had the prefect reaction. Just wait until you go down the Ren rabbit hole.
Brilliant reaction thank you it hits so hard, more Ren please promise you won't regret it
That was a beautiful reaction. The song resonates to every generation, bcuz most everyone has had these feelings at some point, or maybe still are.
Sorry about your Bruins. My Golden Knight’s will take care of the Cup, until y’all are ready to hoist it again!!!
BLINK MAT, BLINK!! lol and Chel’s making me cry to this song (again) but that’s ok, I’ve teared up from this song more then once. this song is unique in the fact that it transcends music to your ears and ends up scaring your soul…but in a good way. it’s a definite wake up.
Thank you for your real and emotional reaction. Enjoyed watching your reaction to Ren. He is an amazing artist.
He did it live, it took 4 takes. His medical story is huge...misdiagnosed ...for years...while Lyme disease attacked his body and mind.....Ren is a storyteller like no other, and is proficient in every genre...his back catalogue is a huge rabbit hole.....
Best song of the past 5 years, let's see if he gets a Grammy without a record label
Songs resonate with us individually in ways we only know, Chels it clearly touched your emotions quite deeply, the same for me. Ren is an incredible artist, his versatility is to behold. I th8nk it would be worth you both watching more of Ren, some you could watch; Ren ft Bibi- crutch, Ren-Genesis The Hunger, The tale of Jenny and screech(this is a trilogy, must watch), The big push(ren plays in this band) Bongo bong and many many more. ❤️ from the UK
I've seen so many grown men and women cry after hearing this, myself included. Let the RENaissance begin!
Had the exact same reaction as Chels when first time watching and hearing this and now after watching 20+ reaction videos I´m still sitting here crying next to you Chels... This is so powerful and more importantly necessary to share with the world.
Ren reaches across time and space to touch your soul. Take care ❤
