Something I really appreciate about this one is that the verses are all acknowledging how bad things are and that it's not getting better but in the chorus Ren's continuing to search for the way back to home even though he's lost. However hard it was he kept on going. Inspirational.
If you haven’t seen animated videos from Ren then does that mean you haven’t seen Ready for You, Diazepam, or Heretic? Those are all incredible, so if you haven’t seen them check them out.
I’ve been waiting to do Diazepam because I have a video of Ren singing it in my car, but my wife has the video and she never remembers to send it to me
@@justme1111......... whoa, like, I'm just so... thankful? ... to know that this universe contains a Ren, singing... mf'n *Diazepam* ... in the car of a guy he met on Discord while orchestrating an online digital scavenger hunt game for the ages. *Diazepam.* Those vocals are among my favourite vocals on the *planet,* and I'm a 50yr old music lover who worked at an indie record store in the early 90s, has played classical piano for 44 years, and whose passion was once singing in a Renaissance madrigal ensemble. I've spent my life absolutely immersed and marinating in vocals. I can't even conceive of how I'd feel if I got to see Ren do a song like Diazepam live, never mind acapella in the back seat of my vehicle. So amazed he can just ... share himself so freely with others, when he's relaxed & feeling well. ❤ Rika - yeah, it's so astonishing, when you hear Ren's story, that he was able to just keep hanging on, then just keep hanging on a little longer, until the tables turned right-side up for his health to give him more breathing room. I'll never take a single creation of his for granted. Glad you're getting to the "Demos" stuff! It's full of absolute treasures. Put me down as another for whom Heretic is SUPER important. It vies with Chalk Outlines and Sick Boi, for me.
I agree, the part when he talks about keeping his spirit kind gets to me every time. Because it’s one of the many things I admire about Ren. He’s been to hell and back - and still trying to fully get his life back - and yet he’s remained kind, compassionate, generous, and encouraging to anyone feeling trapped in the darkness. He could have easily turned bitter and resentful. But like you said, I’m glad he never gave up on his dreams 💕 I can’t wait to hear / see all of the things he’s been working on! I hope you don’t get too discouraged. Don’t give up! You are well respected and well loved within this community. And I really enjoy your reactions. We just gotta get the algorithm to play nice. As others have commented, definitely Diazepam … you need to watch it so you can add it to your playlist. I believe it was my most listened to song in 2023. And when you are ready for something deeply emotional, do both Crutch and Penitence. Both the song and video for Crutch are stunning!! And it was from before he knew it was Lyme disease that he was fighting.
Im in the uk and i appreciate ur reactions,especially the things u pick up on like the intel on the beer can,and the art work in background.no way would i have been able to see it.your art is amazing,i would pay a fortune for a drawing
I’m selling drawings for a fortune as we speak! 🤣🤣🤣 just kidding! I do have that money game poster of Ren on my store though for a lot less than a fortune
Thank you for reacting to this song. Ren is amazing in his whole being. He is working on writing his story down and has a new song coming out in a few weeks. I have been going back into Ren's Me vs M.E. and even in the darkest of times he was trying to lift others up. I am going to check out your new song. It looked interesting.
If you haven't heard Hold On... Don't hold on brother do it Right Now! Still might be my #1 and is 💯 top 3 all time Ren songs. No joke it's such a vibe I played on repeat for about a week straight, hope you haven't heard it cause it's one of THEM bro! (Sweet Little Lady is another totally different but also super dope Big Push original) My bad if you already did both! ✌️
Love this one! Not sure if u have heard anything from his Love Music album, but She makes the world, and If I leave tonight are a few of my favorites....They are all on the Ren Unreleased page....Everyone thinks those songs are off limits to react to, but they aren't....
Someone was playing it on a stream once and I was like, what’s this song, what’s that song, I gotta hurry up and get through them so I can put on my ren playlist
I’m glad you haven’t stopped, I have a special place in my heart for you ever since The Money Game. I love your reactions and your love and support for Ren. You also introduced me to Harry Mack. 🤗🌹🌹🌹. My next video is your new song.
Great Reaction Shae with perfect timing! Can’t shut my brain down enough to sleep tonight…then in comes you with our boy❣️Relatable lyrics with hope, now that we know Ren’s perseverance paid off big time! Sic Boi was released on my birthday so I like to claim it was released for me personally😂 Either way always a pleasure my friend👍🏻🫶🏻💪🏻
Great reaction again, love that you notice Rens little easter eggs in his videos, definitely check out Ready for You, Diazipan, Heritic they are amazing, imho ❤ from the UK
I was trying to scroll through your Playlist but got lazy 😂 Have you reacted to Penitence? I feel like that one is overlooked a lot. When I found Ren, I just went to his UA-cam page and watched everything 😂 His 2 hour live stream with Liv on his streaming Playlist was amazing. As a fan, you should definitely watch. As a reactor, you could break it into parts. It's them just literally jamming/free styling. Or there's a page who split it into songs you could do. I personally prefer to watch Rens so he gets the money.
Since you liked this animated video and looking for things in the writing…I made a music video for a friends band over 10 years ago now, and you might find it fun. It’s an ol’ rock song from 1977 that they covered with Ian Hunters permission - if you look for “police car” by the stretch report…I would love to see your reaction to it. I had great fun making the video and I did another couple for them but they didn’t keep going as a band although they are all still playing I think.
@@RikaShae I did try posting the link here - the comment seems to have been deleted by YT as it so often does trying to post links. :( I’ll post another comment and you might get the notification with the link in before it gets deleted :)
@@RikaShae I posted regular Let’s Play content for a while and got into making music videos for a friend after he was discussing his ideas doing a cartoon video as I had been playing with using cartoon elements in the video game videos I was making and his idea of just static pictures seemed like he’d be missing a trick with what I knew I could do with animating things for him. I finished the Police Car video, then shot some live video from a few gigs he did and made those into videos too (he did some himself too as he’s also into video as his job, and 3D animation). They had done a cover of a track called “don’t look down” which was going to be the follow up to the Police Car video (the “job in Chicago” that’s mentioned at the end of the police car video, where the gang were going to steel Al Capone’s machine gun while climbing around the outside of the building - hence the “don’t look down” part. We had lots done on that video but the band kept changing the mix and timing and messing up everything I’d done on the video so eventually I got fed up and the project was never finished. They then did another track that inspired me to do another video for them and it was going to be a really arty abstract black and white with a kaleidoscope effect with heads turning slowly and a really cool intro part that came to me in a literal fever dream when I was ill - but again, they kept changing the mix and timing and then gave me a mix that changed the whole feel and my idea just didn’t feel right for it and I lost interest again… Making a video and putting maybe a hundred hours into it is fun - but not when all you’ve done becomes trash because the band changes their mind - not when you’re doing it just for fun and for free :)

Diazepam I have a special video for, when I release it you will love it
Thank you. Love this one. One of my top 100 Ren songs. I can't pick a favorite.
Lmao!
Wow, you can narrow it down to just 100?
@@JustMe-dy8cp 😁🥔
This song is beautiful. Glad you carried on Ren ❤❤.
Of course I will!
I love that he has the blonde hair even in this animated video.
Heretic, Ready for You, and Diazepam are other great animated Rens.
Gonna get to them
Yes!! Everybody drops IS a bangger! I love this one!
I really loved it
@@RikaShae It's a really catchy one! And I love the visualizer !
Literally one of my favorites ❤
Let’s go!
Ohh, one of his best! Love your reactions!
Awww thank you!
No cartoon-like animated Ren videos?! What about Heretic? Ready for you? Diazepam?
Man... Love it!
Right when I said I started thinking of them all on my head 🤣

Just here to say - what you’re doing is not pointless (8:55) - it’s appreciated by many.

I’ll have to look, I’m not sure if I’ve done either
Penitence or Crutch, by Ren featuring Molly Mckinna and Bibi respectively are two to check out!
I have those saved I’ve just not gotten to them!
Love this one! Not sure if u have heard anything from his Love Music album, but She makes the world, and If I leave tonight are a few of my favorites....They are all on the Ren Unreleased page....Everyone thinks those songs are off limits to react to, but they aren't....
I’ll skin over it, I think I’ve seen some but not all
I love all the demo stuff got the albums always listening in my car keeps me sane 😂.
Someone was playing it on a stream once and I was like, what’s this song, what’s that song, I gotta hurry up and get through them so I can put on my ren playlist
Damn, it was lovely to watch you react to this one. The vocals on these "Demos" tracks are unreal.
I can’t wait to do some more
Thank you 🙏❤ RikaShae ❤ for your 🐷 Ren - 🚗 Everybody Drops #ren #demosvoltwo #everybodydrops
Thanks for watching 😀
Diazepam is excellent, I make connections with images from that to the Chalk Outlines lyrics….
I have been saving that one for something special
My first time for this one as well. It's dope
Let’s go!
Love me some Cartoon REN. Deserves a Musical cartoon series of his OWN 🎵🎶🍯🔥,😉😅💪🙏✌️🐝🍀
I’m teaching myself how to animate for my next music video, if I don’t break everything out of shear frustration, maybe I can start doing it 🤣
@@RikaShae 😅🤞👍🙏🐝🍀
He has quite a few of these 'visualiser' / cartoon videos - i guess they are all done by the same people? They are all done well.
I love the concept for sure
This is a playlist song, and of course it will never receive airplay unless there's a change in the commercial radio systems.
Bah the radio
@@RikaShae yeah, like he says in Power and Hi Ren, they never play me on the radio....
One of his most underrated and one of my faves of his!
I loved it!

Thank you :)

Great reaction! ✨
Hope you‘ll do Heretic too.
We will!
🔥
Thank you RikaShae! Hope you are well, much love and have a great day!
You too!!
Great reaction again, love that you notice Rens little easter eggs in his videos, definitely check out Ready for You, Diazipan, Heritic they are amazing, imho ❤ from the UK
Thank you! Will do!
We see em ! I like a lot of stuff he downloaded 6 or even 8 years ago.. Life is funny, Humble, Do you believe, Domino, just a few !! lol
I’ll be checking them all out, I did a reaction to Dominos when he was busking, it made me cry 🤣
This is 100%❤
Did you notice the green day poster when he was standing in the bathroom? 🤘😁💜
I did not! Honestly I don’t know if I’d recognize it though, did they have the skeleton hand holding a grenade or was that someone else?
@RikaShae it was for the album from 1994, Dookie. One of my fav cds! 😁💜
Great reaction Shae. You should check out his other animation videos. He has a few. They are all great :)
I will check them out for sure!
Looking through your Ren Playlist, Penitence, Humble, and Ocean appear to be missing. They may just be hanging out with my other sock.
When I find them, I’ll post the sock back to you as well! 🤣🤣🤣
Great job! Keep up the good work 😊
