I was really unsure about posting this video. It's been 24 hours, and we 1300+ views, 332 likes and 65+ comments.... to just 1 dislike. Reading all these comments has made it clear to me that I made the right choice in posting this. Thank ALL of you so much who watch this and sub and comment. It's amazing. Thank you ALL for sharing your stories, your support and your love. You're the fkn BEST. Let';s all do what we can to support those suffering with these diseases and their families, even if it's just to let them know YOU BELIEVE THEM, and you're there for them.
Yay more Ren! Moby actually sampled Vera Hall's "Trouble so Hard". Ren paid for the licence to sample Vera Hall's song :) it's a very meaningful song for him.
Ohh man, I could feel how it hit you. Great heartfelt reaction. ❤😢 There's nothing to apologize for. Life is hard to bear sometimes. And Rens songs hit you very deeply. My wife is suffering from M.E. for nine years now. I know what it feels like to be left alone, even by people you should be able to trust in. And how hard it is to keep up hope. Much love and big hugs to you man. ❤🫂 As others already said, Ren did a kind of autobiographical reading on his RenMakesStuff channel. From the end of his friend Joe over becoming ill, getting and losing the contract with Sony, via his odyssey through various diagnosis and attempts of treatments to becoming at least better after his stem cell treatment. Very personal and emotional videos. Even if you thought you understood Ren's songs beforehand, you understand them even better afterwards and they become even more intense.
Thank you for speaking up for those struggling as your mother did. As someone with severe M.E, I promise you that your empathy and acceptance will have helped her so much. When we are doubted and dismissed by so many people, just being loved, believed, and supported is HUGE. It may not have saved her life, but you will absolutely have been the thing that made it worth living. I hope you have the same compassion from the people around you as you deal with your own issues. ❤
Truth truth truth, I get how you feel about the disbelief and people deciding they know whats wrong about someone else based on their own experiences People living this reality with Lyme disease fibromyalgia etc soon have to become experts on all this stuff Its like having salt rubbed into the wounds when people are sceptical So sorry about you Mum Ren promised if he got well enough he would advocate for those people still in the dark missing because of medical gaslighting and lack of funding Medication makes people rich Discovering cures often doesn't Totally get what you are saying Love and hugs
That's ABSOLUTELY correct on how people have to become experts themselves on this stuff, and its because they can't get the help needed from the Medical Establishment in most cases. SMH. Thank you for watching and commentating. I love what Ren is doing.
ABSOLUTELY NOT HIJACKING ! And NEVER apologize for showing your emotions. I think that you are experiencing what so so many of us drew us into Hi Ren. He made so many of us feel seen, heard, and understood- often for the first time. The comment section is full of people telling their stories or the stories of someone they love , perhaps even lost. His mental health steadily declined as his symptoms either worsened and/ or were added to. For the week leading up to the release of “ Troubles” he put out The Chapters ( 1-8) on YT @ RenMakesStuff . It’s a chronicle of his journey, all the different treatments he tried, the research he did, as well as very personal stories about how much his illness cost him- in terms of relationships etc. It’s very emotional and raw and took a great deal of courage to put it all out there. As such, it’s really not for reacting to but ,as he stated in the end,he hopes that it makes people who are living with similar struggles don’t feel like they’re so alone. He’s described pain as condescending and sophisticated, and it is both. His video on Defining Success ( when he hit 1M subscribers) IS WHO REN IS, AS A HUMAN BEING. ❤
Thanks for sharing man. I know it wasnt easy. My kid is going through something similar. They cannot figure out what is going on and most of the doctors keep telling her its in her head. She changed almost overnight from a bouncy fleet footed child into a bed ridden out of breath and exhausted kid. Doctor to doctor to doctor all of them just making it sound like she is fabricating it and its enfuriating. The medical industry can suck it.
Dear lord, that was a pure genuine heartfelt reaction that I totally get. You did an absolutely tremendous job taking us through this video of struggles and beauty. I totally get the struggles you have gone through yourself. In the last two and a half years I have lost my mother my father and just most recently my fiance who wanted to try and make it to the eclipse up here in the Northeast during April. Unfortunately she passed in March. She would get So much hope listening to Ren. It just seems that Ren is putting the medical industry on notice. I just wish I had the platform that he has now to bring light to all of these conditions that seem to be brushed aside. I believe though, that all of these stories that we all can share, can make an impact for a lot of people in the near future. Thanks to you and thanks to Ren. Amen!
I wish your mom were here to see Ren. He didn’t have money either just luck. A doctor saw his health vlogs and took a shine to him bc his son was a musician. He offered to give Ren a transplant. He knows people suffer in silence. There isn’t enough funding. Little awareness. He’s turning his pain, his luck, and his hard work into a gift for others.
I am sooooo sorry that your mother had to live with this illness. My condolences for your loss 🫶 Ren raises awareness with this song, that's his goal, because soooo many people have to suffer from these diseases. He has my complete respect for that! Sub from me👏👏👏 Greetings from Germany 👍🤝🙋♀️
I'm pretty sure this song was MADE for people like you and your family. His 8 part story is hard to listen to, but goes deep into what those years looked like. Sending love your way #hope
Fibromyalgia is no joke and it sucks because it is a disease of elimination. There's not "marker" for it. I'm sorry your mom suffered for so long with so many people doubting her pain. *hugs* 💜
Hi Man. No one thinks you were hogging the video. Ren makes music specifically to get people to have open conversations. It’s only with more discussion and demands to the medical professionals and with governments. It’s a brilliant song. Well done.
I'm heartbroken for you listening how much your Mom suffered. 💔 Ren's 7 Sins explains his pain filled journey and is very impactful. If you choose to watch it be aware it's very heavy. As others have/will mention Ren preceded this release with 8 chapters of his journey ending each with a relevant track. Stay strong with the knowledge that there is a huge community of people who understand and support you 🤗🙏
7 sins is one of his best songs imo never heard someone able to describe pain the way he does in that. Just for some context @lvme it’s written from the moment he enter psychosis so a lot of it is things he did and say while in that episode.
Gut wrenching reaction, man. I’ve watched multiple reactions to this song. I fricken love Ren for putting his story out there and bringing awareness to these things. He’s truly a special human being. My heart goes out to you my friend. I teared up right along with you. I just lost my godmother (my aunt) a week ago, so I can empathize with your loss. May I suggest checking out Rens “Back on 74/Message in a bottle” retake, for something much more lighthearted. The Back on 74 is a retake of a song by Jungle, which came out just a few years ago, and Message in a Bottle, which is a retake from The Police (Sting). It’s a fun track that highlights Rens versatility. Even has a rap portion in it that Ren added (not on either of the tracks he’s doing the retake of). It’s really good and has a great vibe. Be well, catch ya on the next one. ✊🏻
Thank you very much . I almost didn't post this video but now I am glad I did. And I am going to take your suggestion on the "Back on 74/Message in a bottle” retake. Gonna react to that one tonight after work
Ren was making video blogs when he first got sick, hoping to figure out what was wrong with him. He had so many people in his same situation all discussing natural remedies, supplements, cleanses etc. They all tried things together. A doctor found Ren's blogs and offered him the stem cell transplant $25, 000 for free. The deal was Ren had to document his progress. The stem cell saved him from the brink of death. He had other symptoms get worse but it still saved his life. This was a short and super condensed version of what he went through. He tells it all in his "Chapters 1-8" he reads each section telling what happened. Keeping his promise to the doctor and the chronic illness community. Sorry about your mom, how heart breaking. 😢
Just a warning that if you go watch the Chapters it will probably trigger bad memories for you. You’ll be able to relate a lot of your mom’s story as well as your own. I’ve been dealing with it myself since age 20 & I’m in my late 50s now. I understood your mom more than you’ll know. Thank you for sharing it. 💜
Phil's wife Susan here. This is the best reaction I have seen of Ren's song #Troubles because you really get it. I have had ME/CFS since 1981, life is hard because in lots of ways I have been medically neglected. In Australia we have outdated guidelines for ME/CFS that are based on flawed science which influence our medical professionals to ignore our symptoms. I have been crying my eyes out while watching your reaction because I am also a Mum. Having an energy limiting chronic illness (#ELCI) negatively impacts my children. An energy impairment is difficult for people around you to understand. I am like a phone that is broken which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't and if I am not careful with how it is used could break completely. Thank you for posting this video and being vulnerable. I think the tears were cathartic, hearing you talk about your Mum helped me feel seen. You are right about there being so much more suffering out there. So many are housebound, bedridden and dying from these illnesses.
Thank you for sharing with the community. It is always positive to get the truth out and spread the information. Many renegades are intimate with suffering. So very sorry for your mom, and that you had to watch your mom go through that 💔
Thank you for the wonderful reaction friend. Thoughts and well wishing for you and your mom as well. Ren released his story, set out in chapters prior to this track release, in his renmakesstuff channel, that chronicles this subject. (I'm sure someone mentioned this already) And you're right, he mentioned how people didn't think the fatigue, pain was real, even including some of the doctors he visited.
At 37 I was diagnosed with young onset Parkinson’s disease. I don’t have much tremor which most people associate with Parkinson’s. But I have massive amounts of rigidity in my body . I am disabled but push myself every waking moment. And I have heard many times I was faking things. I am 60 now and I have huge struggles but I can’t let them be my identity
Beleive me, many of us totally understand what you went through. So very sorry to hear mom was lost to you because of this. ♥ Ren's, Seven Sins is a masterpiece to me. The first cut on his Sick Boi album. Ren read us an 8 chapter tale of his journey that you would really enjoy, It's emotional but right in your face. Ren wants people to understand, he wants people to know about the 1000's who are suffering.
So sorry about the loss of your mother. I appreciate how Ren's basic motive (he said something like this in his 1 Million Subscribers video) is to foster a sense of empathy and compassion for those who are suffering. In that he said we have a basic responsibility to put out untainted love. I hope conversations like this ripple out and people do become more compassionate and caring as a result.
No need to be sorry, this obviously resonated with you, as it does for many of us. I'm so sorry your mom suffered so much. Chronic pain and fatigue is terrible, and you're right that people who don't know, cannot understand. I really think you should check out Ren's 8 chapters that tell the story of his illness. They are very raw and honest. I'm sure you would related to much of it. They can be found on his renmakesstuff channel.
I add my love and support. My mom was dismissed by doctors for many things including migrains, menopause and fibromyalgia. She was told to go for a walk. I feel your pain. Ren walks the walk. Whether it charts or not, this is an important song and it is seriously beautiful. A small clip of him singing Trouble back in 2018 went super viral and gave him hope for a second chance at a career.
Concur with many other comments, relating is not hijacking, ren makes us feel, and opens up discussions on subjects that desperately needs to be discussed. Subbing
Thank you for really getting it!! I personally think that you’re understanding what Ren’s trying to get across about fatigue being severe etc., these diseases being incredibly serious but stigmatized/ misunderstood. He’s advocating and hoping for this exact type of discussion. I know he’s spent a lot of his limited time/energy trying to help people in the ME community and the logo “Missing” on his profile photo is for the ME awareness campaign “Millions Missing”. Because there are very literally millions missing from their lives. Many do get sick pretty young (children/teens are more rare but twenties are not) when it comes to ME at least. Many people think we’re faking it. Exactly. Insult to injury doesn’t begin to describe the suffering that this causes. You’re honouring your mom and all of us stuck living as shells of our former selves by explaining this to people so clearly. Thank you 🙏
Subscription added to help you get to 10,000. Your reaction to this important song was moving. I am sorry about your mother's suffering and thank you for talking about her. My condolences for your loss of her.
So sorry for your mom! Ren also lived years in bed with a lot pain. His story is touching as yours and others peolple are, too. Thank you for this honnest reaction! 😇
I'm a bit late, but your heartfelt & very real reaction really got me - I kept wanting to tell you that you have nothing to apologize for! Thank you for your bravery - sharing our stories is so hard, but like you said about Ren, we need to get the word out. You telling your experiences with your dear Mother (may she rest with no more pain) may reach someone who needs to hear it. I was just diagnosed with MCAS last year...after 7+ years of being misdiagnosed, ignored, not being believed...I'm sure you know how that goes. More understanding in the world is imperative, and thank you for contributing to that in such a beautiful & powerful way. Had to subscribe ❤
Okay, you made me cry! My son didn't go to college as planned, I got really sick with also a myriad of immune system malfunctions and he worked as much as he could to support us. I have been through so much, but here I am. My son is 29 now, 10 years later, and I am 63, 10 years later, still sick but still trying. I currently live on my own, was able to return to work but decided to retire early so can enjoy what is left of my life. My son? Well he lives down the road with his girlfriend. He still keeps a close eye on me ;) I miss my mom too as she went before we expected and it has been 6 years, sorry but some things like that we just have to learn to live with.
I loved this reaction.🥰 I think the purpose of Ren's music is supposed to be related to by people. I'm so sorry about your mom's suffering. Thank you for sharing your pain. Ren got clearance to use the sample the same way Mobi did. The original was Vera Hall's 1937 Trouble So Hard. It has a lot of meaning for him. Ren put out a 8 chapter video essay leading up to the release of this song that was raw and unfiltered. You could see how difficult it was for him to put the details of his life out there. It's to share his story with others, to help others. It's on his other channel renmakesstuff if you want to watch them. It's inspiring.
Thank you. I was unsure if I should post this video and now I am glad I did. I assumed it was a Moby remix , I as happy to learn its not. I'm pretty unfamiliar with Moby in general and Vera Hall also. I am going to watch the 8 Chapter videos later today I think.
Amazing lyrically & musically how Ren took his 20's of pain & Misdiagnosis and put into a 4 min song 🎶to bring peace to himself and Awareness & Hope 🌷🌷to others. I hope this touches millions hurting and more funding & awareness to stop the pain in the future. 🙏🙏 Sorry you had to watch your mom suffer, I get it took 13 years to get correct diagnosis and was very lonely time suffering. Now I can just take one day at a time ((( BIG LOVING HEALING COMFORTING HUGS)))) 💕💕💕
Most relatable reaction I've seen for this one. So sorry to hear about your mother 😢 we need more empathy for people going through unexplained illnesses. Too often they're not believed and called hypochondriacs.
Thanks for sharing your heartfelt thoughts. I'm 24years into living with this, since my early 20s. Neglect, disdain and no medical care. The biggest medical scandal of our time, raising awareness brings me hope.
Thank you for your reaction. I feel for you. Ren is just an incredible human being. Im so glad we found him. As he has said he wants to be a voice for the voiceless and he wants to use his platform to help bring more awareness and compassion for people with these conditions. ❤❤❤
I’m so sorry that your mom went through so much pain and that her loved ones had to watch her suffer. This is exactly why Ren feels a calling to use his platform. To validate the ones suffering and give them hope, and bring awareness to those who don’t know how bad it is. I hope his music and some of the comments give you a little peace.
You are one of my favorite reactors I have had fibromyalgia for about 20 yrs now…..it is no joke for sure….thank you for sharing your family struggles, I too relate very much to Ren….such a talent he is! Really appreciate you for being so open and honest….great review!
I'm so sorry to hear about your mother and what you all went through but I'm so glad that Ren is speaking up for the millions of people who are suffering.
Condolences for your Loss... theirs Strength in your comments> you opened up> Ren's able with his own experience to do this to Folk> Never Apologise Son [ 66 years Old Renegade-Yorkshire UK [ Subbed ]
I’m sorry. It’s hard to lose your mom. Mine passed suddenly due to suicide at 50. She also had chronic pain and she was a nurse. My brother was addicted to opiates at 58 after a stroke. He also passed suddenly from a heart attack caused we think by the opiates. I felt your tears in my eyes. Sorry for all your trials. I have always enjoyed your reactions. Peace
Sorry to hear about your Mom bro. So glad REN made it out because without that free offer to REN for the stem cells he would probably still be in the thick of the struggle. REN says it himself that stem cells is science on the edge of working or not working but for him it worked enough to get his mind back out of some of the mess it was in. It is sad we don’t yet have a better understanding of what these ailments are. Loved the reaction and thank you for putting it out there. I hope it goes even bigger. ❤
One thing Ive learned on my autoimmune journey, those who dont also suffer (or are close to someone who does) have a hard time understanding our pain and lack of energy. Ren helps me not feel alone in this.
So very sorry you had to watch your mom go through that pain❤❤❤🫶🏼Ren released this song for Awareness x more needs to be done for those people who are suffering x
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
hello dear!! thanks for your sincere reaction. i also am ren's medical little sister, fibromyalgia!! i so appreciated your thoughts about your mum, cuz this ish is real, i'm 72yo and live there. thank you for sharing your familial pain, cuz you're helping us all by sharing the truth like ren does. the opiod crisis has been a life cruncher to me. i was literally told i had to choose between being treated for pain or crazy, my choice. i had to choose pain, so i'm "still crazy after alll these years"-lol and just to prove i'm a cranky old lady, i want to point out that if people want to get stem cell surgery in the usa, they have to leave the country. bcuz our world of health care is "brought to you by your friends at ph!ser" sorry this is so long, but i don't get to talk to someone like you who gets it. you are a good son. i gotta go and smoke my pain pipe, too!! after 40yrs of pain clinics with naxi leanings, i left opiods (sigh, methadone works on pains so cleanly), i am that old lady who sits in a rocking chair on a mountian side smokin' and smiling (in my dreams) kathleen 🙃
That's right, my mom would have had to go to Germany for Stem Cell treatment at the time. It was impossible. Thank you for commenting, make it as long as you want. I DO get it, and I'm glad you watched and shared a bit of your story as well. Take care of yourself Kathleen, 🙏
he told a story in one of his chapters that he wake up naked on the street at the time where he suffers hard under the mental illnes. I think this was the reference. btw: trouble so hard is from vera hall RIP for your Mom!
@TheLVME I know exactly what Ren went through I have been in severe pain for the last 1O years and have traveled thousands of kilometers hopping from specialist to specialist and still no proper diagnosis, now going for my third operation, lucky for me I live in France and they have me on morphine. I have been bedridden for the last 7 months due to the previous botched operation, so as you said when you know you know, was also treated like a junkie and that it was all in my head by certain people, thank you Ren, for highlighting this constant fight, but my hopes for a cure are fading fast, a great reaction by the way, and sorry for your loss😪
If you would like to see how Ren made the beat in Troubles, he did a short here: ua-cam.com/users/shortsQ29bspwvkSY My condolences for the loss of your mom and prayers for you and your family. Keep fighting the good fight.
It’s ok to cry and vent . We all need to at times. I get it. My older brother has Parkinson’s disease at age of 58 and my younger brother 51 had Juvenile arthritis since he was 5 hrs old and now has stills disease (an autoimmune disorder) from it since he was 21 and my mom has fibromyalgia. It’s sometimes scary to think about what awaits me . Just feel blessed but also a since of guilt at the same time . At least I am ok to help take care of them when they need me . I get how you feel . 😢 keep up the reactions and if you get a chance please react to Ren and chinchilla doing Marvin Gaye sexual healing cover . Much love to you and your family
I was taking a pain med a bunch of years ago. I was taking it on time. For some reason I got off of it. Not sure. Now doctors have been denying it for years now. Luckily I live in Florida because I have my pot card.
2 dear friends had to rely on opioids just to get out of bed. One due to arthritis, arthritis and fibromyalgia for the other one. If you don’t know you don’t know, but if you do know you know you know.
I think you would resonate with his story in more detail he put this out on Chapters 1-8 on #RenMakesStuff. Just for context. Subbed for music reactions . See you get this. ☮️
I really like your style - subbed! I binged three so far, gonna dive in for more :) My wife passed october 2023 after being bedridden for 12 years in extreme constant pain. She suffered from Ehlers Danlos Syndrome with Hypermobility which caused her to dislocate at least 50 to 60 joints every day. Thumbs, jaw, ankles, knees, you name it. She used to describe her skeleton in her skin like scrabble tiles in that vevlet bag. Just a loose jumble. EDS aside, it invites a slew of 'comorbidities' - other similar autoimmune complications, allergies, digestive issues, POTS, and so many other issues. We couldn't get a proper diagnosis and her family didn't believe her. They shut her out. Her own brother blocked her. I don't need to tell you more because you clearly know. She voluntarily didn't combat the diabetes that she ended-up getting, and then she pushed it to worsen so she could be relieved of this torturous life. I still haven't been able to touch a single one of her belongings. I'll get there someday but not today...
Severed from his dreams. He had a record deal with Sony and the dropped him because he wasn't able to fulfill his side of the contract because of the illness. People dream of getting signed. To do that at 19 or 20 is a pretty big accomplishment. To lose it is like losing a winning lottery ticket. Every day after that all you can think about is the life you might of had. But one you are a great product and not a gimmick you can't be held down. Never give up on your dreams!
Just found you and watched your amazing Halftime video from Ren. Im so sorry for your loss. She must have been an amazing woman for bringing up such a caring and intelligent son like you. Looking forward seeing for reaction videos from you. Love your content.
My mom suffered from chronic back pain from multiple discs degenerating, etc. She, of course, got scipts for Oxy and slipped easily into opioid addiction. We lost her for years to her abuse of the pills. She was, vacant, was the best way to describe her. We had to move her to assisted living to monitor her pill intake. It took months for the clouds to lift and she was finally coming back to who she had always been when she passed from an unrelated issue. My cousin's wife was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in the early 90s and was one of the ones that you mentioned who weren't taken seriously. She ultimately took action on herself and is gone today, leaving behind a husband and a teenage daughter. Tragedy walks hand in hand with these conditions.
SO glad you posted thus reaction. My heart goes out to you for your mom and your own struggles with pain. After 20+ years of treatments that didn't help, then being told, " There's nothing we can do for you. You just have to learn to live with your pain" I was diagnosed last year with dysautonomia. I deeply appreciate your willingness to be vulnerable and share your experience. As someone else mentioned, not hijacking - you're relating. New subscriber! Much live and blessings to you. 🙋♀️💖
First of all my brother I'm so very sorry for your loss💔, may her soul be at peace now. Take a little solace; like I do, that Ren is out here fighting the good fight, so that fewer of us will suffer like that in the future.🙏🙏FYI bro, this track is nothing like Moby's version on the Natural Blues Album from 1999, I should know I've got the album at home 😜and when I'm in the mood I give that vinyl a spin every once in a while. In fact Ren purchased the rights to use the exact sample that Moby used, Vera Hall, Trouble So Hard 1937. Ren personally mixed this track on his own from top to bottom adding the guitar licks, percussion and strings as well as all the synths and distortions by altering the sample itself. The actual sample by Vera Hall has no instrumental whatsoever. You can pull it up the original Vera Hall sample on UA-cam and take a listen for yourself. Ren has a short on his channel that shows himself producing parts of this track and what methods he used to get certain sounds.🔥🔥🔥✌
That.s really great to hear about the music. I am very unfamiliar with Vera Hall and Moby also, I just remember hearing it back in the day and assumed it was a remix.
2008 I was detected my mental illness, nobody understand what any of us going trought. more than 16 years... Losing it... and I seaking the way out of my illness, Pscihiaters (More than 10) Psichologist ( more than 5 ) and they said... for my lost years: "Your Minds Make you Sick"... Till i Find REN, I get extra hope... Trought Ren.
No, it was appropriate for you to talk about about your situation on this video. From what he has said, I believe that Ren wants us to relate our own troubles to his, and to find comfort and hope in his music. I’m so sorry about your mum. xx
I was really unsure about posting this video. It's been 24 hours, and we 1300+ views, 332 likes and 65+ comments.... to just 1 dislike. Reading all these comments has made it clear to me that I made the right choice in posting this. Thank ALL of you so much who watch this and sub and comment. It's amazing. Thank you ALL for sharing your stories, your support and your love. You're the fkn BEST. Let';s all do what we can to support those suffering with these diseases and their families, even if it's just to let them know YOU BELIEVE THEM, and you're there for them.
There is a HUGE difference between hijacking and relating.
NEVER appologize for that.
❤🤗❤
🙏
I was told I was suffering from “female hysteria” in the 1990s. In the 2000s, about 15 years later I got a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. 💜
That type of thing makes me SO mad to hear. It's just plain WRONG. I'm glad you finally got a diagnosis.
Yay more Ren!
Moby actually sampled Vera Hall's "Trouble so Hard". Ren paid for the licence to sample Vera Hall's song :) it's a very meaningful song for him.
Thank you for the info, I am pretty unfamiliar with the sample.
Ohh man, I could feel how it hit you. Great heartfelt reaction. ❤😢
There's nothing to apologize for. Life is hard to bear sometimes. And Rens songs hit you very deeply.
My wife is suffering from M.E. for nine years now. I know what it feels like to be left alone, even by people you should be able to trust in. And how hard it is to keep up hope. Much love and big hugs to you man. ❤🫂
As others already said, Ren did a kind of autobiographical reading on his RenMakesStuff channel. From the end of his friend Joe over becoming ill, getting and losing the contract with Sony, via his odyssey through various diagnosis and attempts of treatments to becoming at least better after his stem cell treatment. Very personal and emotional videos.
Even if you thought you understood Ren's songs beforehand, you understand them even better afterwards and they become even more intense.
Thank you. I really do appreciate it. I wish the best for you and your wife. 🙏♥
Thank you for speaking up for those struggling as your mother did. As someone with severe M.E, I promise you that your empathy and acceptance will have helped her so much. When we are doubted and dismissed by so many people, just being loved, believed, and supported is HUGE. It may not have saved her life, but you will absolutely have been the thing that made it worth living.
I hope you have the same compassion from the people around you as you deal with your own issues. ❤
Thank you, that's very kind. I sincerely appreciate it. I was unsure about posting this video, I am glad that I did.
Truth truth truth, I get how you feel about the disbelief and people deciding they know whats wrong about someone else based on their own experiences
People living this reality with Lyme disease fibromyalgia etc soon have to become experts on all this stuff
Its like having salt rubbed into the wounds when people are sceptical
So sorry about you Mum
Ren promised if he got well enough he would advocate for those people still in the dark missing because of medical gaslighting and lack of funding
Medication makes people rich
Discovering cures often doesn't
Totally get what you are saying
Love and hugs
That's ABSOLUTELY correct on how people have to become experts themselves on this stuff, and its because they can't get the help needed from the Medical Establishment in most cases. SMH. Thank you for watching and commentating. I love what Ren is doing.
ABSOLUTELY NOT HIJACKING ! And NEVER apologize for showing your emotions. I think that you are experiencing what so so many of us drew us into Hi Ren. He made so many of us feel seen, heard, and understood- often for the first time. The comment section is full of people telling their stories or the stories of someone they love , perhaps even lost.
His mental health steadily declined as his symptoms either worsened and/ or were added to.
For the week leading up to the release of “ Troubles” he put out The Chapters ( 1-8) on YT @ RenMakesStuff . It’s a chronicle of his journey, all the different treatments he tried, the research he did, as well as very personal stories about how much his illness cost him- in terms of relationships etc. It’s very emotional and raw and took a great deal of courage to put it all out there. As such, it’s really not for reacting to but ,as he stated in the end,he hopes that it makes people who are living with similar struggles don’t feel like they’re so alone. He’s described pain as condescending and sophisticated, and it is both.
His video on Defining Success ( when he hit 1M subscribers) IS WHO REN IS, AS A HUMAN BEING. ❤
Thanks for sharing man. I know it wasnt easy. My kid is going through something similar. They cannot figure out what is going on and most of the doctors keep telling her its in her head. She changed almost overnight from a bouncy fleet footed child into a bed ridden out of breath and exhausted kid. Doctor to doctor to doctor all of them just making it sound like she is fabricating it and its enfuriating. The medical industry can suck it.
Dear lord, that was a pure genuine heartfelt reaction that I totally get. You did an absolutely tremendous job taking us through this video of struggles and beauty. I totally get the struggles you have gone through yourself. In the last two and a half years I have lost my mother my father and just most recently my fiance who wanted to try and make it to the eclipse up here in the Northeast during April. Unfortunately she passed in March. She would get So much hope listening to Ren. It just seems that Ren is putting the medical industry on notice. I just wish I had the platform that he has now to bring light to all of these conditions that seem to be brushed aside. I believe though, that all of these stories that we all can share, can make an impact for a lot of people in the near future. Thanks to you and thanks to Ren. Amen!
I wish your mom were here to see Ren. He didn’t have money either just luck. A doctor saw his health vlogs and took a shine to him bc his son was a musician. He offered to give Ren a transplant. He knows people suffer in silence. There isn’t enough funding. Little awareness. He’s turning his pain, his luck, and his hard work into a gift for others.
I wish she was too.
I am sooooo sorry that your mother had to live with this illness.
My condolences for your loss 🫶
Ren raises awareness with this song, that's his goal, because soooo many people have to suffer from these diseases. He has my complete respect for that!
Sub from me👏👏👏
Greetings from Germany 👍🤝🙋♀️
Not a Moby remix. His own sample from original Vera Hall track which he paid for.
Thank you for sharing. It is not hijacking, it is letting his words bring validation as only Ren can.
I'm pretty sure this song was MADE for people like you and your family. His 8 part story is hard to listen to, but goes deep into what those years looked like. Sending love your way #hope
Thank you very miuch
Fibromyalgia is no joke and it sucks because it is a disease of elimination. There's not "marker" for it. I'm sorry your mom suffered for so long with so many people doubting her pain. *hugs* 💜
🙏
Hi Man. No one thinks you were hogging the video. Ren makes music specifically to get people to have open conversations. It’s only with more discussion and demands to the medical professionals and with governments. It’s a brilliant song. Well done.
I hope you get this hug 🫂 I felt every word about your mom. She is well loved; it's plain to see. She and you are exactly who REN did this for ❤
Thank you very much. 🙏
I'm heartbroken for you listening how much your Mom suffered. 💔
Ren's 7 Sins explains his pain filled journey and is very impactful.
If you choose to watch it be aware it's very heavy.
As others have/will mention Ren preceded this release with 8 chapters of his journey ending each with a relevant track.
Stay strong with the knowledge that there is a huge community of people who understand and support you 🤗🙏
I'm gonna watch/listen to 7 Sins for sure.
7 sins is one of his best songs imo never heard someone able to describe pain the way he does in that. Just for some context @lvme it’s written from the moment he enter psychosis so a lot of it is things he did and say while in that episode.
Gut wrenching reaction, man. I’ve watched multiple reactions to this song. I fricken love Ren for putting his story out there and bringing awareness to these things. He’s truly a special human being. My heart goes out to you my friend. I teared up right along with you. I just lost my godmother (my aunt) a week ago, so I can empathize with your loss. May I suggest checking out Rens “Back on 74/Message in a bottle” retake, for something much more lighthearted. The Back on 74 is a retake of a song by Jungle, which came out just a few years ago, and Message in a Bottle, which is a retake from The Police (Sting). It’s a fun track that highlights Rens versatility. Even has a rap portion in it that Ren added (not on either of the tracks he’s doing the retake of). It’s really good and has a great vibe. Be well, catch ya on the next one. ✊🏻
Thank you very much . I almost didn't post this video but now I am glad I did. And I am going to take your suggestion on the "Back on 74/Message in a bottle” retake. Gonna react to that one tonight after work
Totally get you. I’m living it. Ren gets it. But you getting it is a real gift. Subscribed. Thank you. ❤
🙏♥
Ren was making video blogs when he first got sick, hoping to figure out what was wrong with him. He had so many people in his same situation all discussing natural remedies, supplements, cleanses etc.
They all tried things together. A doctor found Ren's blogs and offered him the stem cell transplant $25, 000 for free. The deal was Ren had to document his progress.
The stem cell saved him from the brink of death. He had other symptoms get worse but it still saved his life.
This was a short and super condensed version of what he went through. He tells it all in his "Chapters 1-8" he reads each section telling what happened.
Keeping his promise to the doctor and the chronic illness community. Sorry about your mom, how heart breaking. 😢
Just a warning that if you go watch the Chapters it will probably trigger bad memories for you. You’ll be able to relate a lot of your mom’s story as well as your own. I’ve been dealing with it myself since age 20 & I’m in my late 50s now. I understood your mom more than you’ll know. Thank you for sharing it. 💜
Thank you for sharing the info. I appreciate it
Phil's wife Susan here. This is the best reaction I have seen of Ren's song #Troubles because you really get it. I have had ME/CFS since 1981, life is hard because in lots of ways I have been medically neglected. In Australia we have outdated guidelines for ME/CFS that are based on flawed science which influence our medical professionals to ignore our symptoms. I have been crying my eyes out while watching your reaction because I am also a Mum. Having an energy limiting chronic illness (#ELCI) negatively impacts my children. An energy impairment is difficult for people around you to understand. I am like a phone that is broken which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't and if I am not careful with how it is used could break completely. Thank you for posting this video and being vulnerable. I think the tears were cathartic, hearing you talk about your Mum helped me feel seen. You are right about there being so much more suffering out there. So many are housebound, bedridden and dying from these illnesses.
Brilliant reaction thanks for your absolute honesty, brought me to tears bro 🇬🇧😊
Thank you for sharing with the community. It is always positive to get the truth out and spread the information. Many renegades are intimate with suffering. So very sorry for your mom, and that you had to watch your mom go through that 💔
Thank you for the wonderful reaction friend.
Thoughts and well wishing for you and your mom as well.
Ren released his story, set out in chapters prior to this track release, in his renmakesstuff channel, that chronicles this subject. (I'm sure someone mentioned this already)
And you're right, he mentioned how people didn't think the fatigue, pain was real, even including some of the doctors he visited.
At 37 I was diagnosed with young onset Parkinson’s disease. I don’t have much tremor which most people associate with Parkinson’s. But I have massive amounts of rigidity in my body . I am disabled but push myself every waking moment. And I have heard many times I was faking things. I am 60 now and I have huge struggles but I can’t let them be my identity
Thank you for sharing. Keep pushing yourself. 🙏
Beleive me, many of us totally understand what you went through. So very sorry to hear mom was lost to you because of this. ♥ Ren's, Seven Sins is a masterpiece to me. The first cut on his Sick Boi album. Ren read us an 8 chapter tale of his journey that you would really enjoy, It's emotional but right in your face. Ren wants people to understand, he wants people to know about the 1000's who are suffering.
So sorry about the loss of your mother. I appreciate how Ren's basic motive (he said something like this in his 1 Million Subscribers video) is to foster a sense of empathy and compassion for those who are suffering. In that he said we have a basic responsibility to put out untainted love. I hope conversations like this ripple out and people do become more compassionate and caring as a result.
No need to be sorry, this obviously resonated with you, as it does for many of us. I'm so sorry your mom suffered so much. Chronic pain and fatigue is terrible, and you're right that people who don't know, cannot understand. I really think you should check out Ren's 8 chapters that tell the story of his illness. They are very raw and honest. I'm sure you would related to much of it. They can be found on his renmakesstuff channel.
I will check out those videos on his other channel, thank you. I appreciate your comments 🙏
I add my love and support. My mom was dismissed by doctors for many things including migrains, menopause and fibromyalgia. She was told to go for a walk. I feel your pain.
Ren walks the walk.
Whether it charts or not, this is an important song and it is seriously beautiful. A small clip of him singing Trouble back in 2018 went super viral and gave him hope for a second chance at a career.
🙏❤
Its beyond frustrating to see our sick loved ones treated in that way, as if they weren't already dealing with so much.
Concur with many other comments, relating is not hijacking, ren makes us feel, and opens up discussions on subjects that desperately needs to be discussed. Subbing
Thank you for really getting it!! I personally think that you’re understanding what Ren’s trying to get across about fatigue being severe etc., these diseases being incredibly serious but stigmatized/ misunderstood. He’s advocating and hoping for this exact type of discussion. I know he’s spent a lot of his limited time/energy trying to help people in the ME community and the logo “Missing” on his profile photo is for the ME awareness campaign “Millions Missing”. Because there are very literally millions missing from their lives. Many do get sick pretty young (children/teens are more rare but twenties are not) when it comes to ME at least.
Many people think we’re faking it. Exactly. Insult to injury doesn’t begin to describe the suffering that this causes. You’re honouring your mom and all of us stuck living as shells of our former selves by explaining this to people so clearly. Thank you 🙏
The hashtag #MiilionsMissing will help anyone interested to know more about these protests.
Beautiful reaction, please don't be sorry, thank you for sharing ur story with us, may ur mum rest in eternal peace ❤
Subscription added to help you get to 10,000. Your reaction to this important song was moving. I am sorry about your mother's suffering and thank you for talking about her. My condolences for your loss of her.
Thank you very much. I was unsure If should post this video. I'm glad I did.
🔥🔥🔥 Reaction My G! One Love 😎❤️💛💚🖤✊🏿🇯🇲🏴
So sorry for your mom!
Ren also lived years in bed with a lot pain. His story is touching as yours and others peolple are, too. Thank you for this honnest reaction! 😇
Thank you. I wasn't sure if I should post this video or not... I'm glad I did,
Yes thank you 🙏
No apologies necessary. This song is SO FREAKING IMPORTANT!!!
I'm a bit late, but your heartfelt & very real reaction really got me - I kept wanting to tell you that you have nothing to apologize for! Thank you for your bravery - sharing our stories is so hard, but like you said about Ren, we need to get the word out. You telling your experiences with your dear Mother (may she rest with no more pain) may reach someone who needs to hear it.
I was just diagnosed with MCAS last year...after 7+ years of being misdiagnosed, ignored, not being believed...I'm sure you know how that goes.
More understanding in the world is imperative, and thank you for contributing to that in such a beautiful & powerful way. Had to subscribe ❤
Okay, you made me cry! My son didn't go to college as planned, I got really sick with also a myriad of immune system malfunctions and he worked as much as he could to support us. I have been through so much, but here I am. My son is 29 now, 10 years later, and I am 63, 10 years later, still sick but still trying. I currently live on my own, was able to return to work but decided to retire early so can enjoy what is left of my life. My son? Well he lives down the road with his girlfriend. He still keeps a close eye on me ;) I miss my mom too as she went before we expected and it has been 6 years, sorry but some things like that we just have to learn to live with.
I loved this reaction.🥰 I think the purpose of Ren's music is supposed to be related to by people. I'm so sorry about your mom's suffering. Thank you for sharing your pain. Ren got clearance to use the sample the same way Mobi did. The original was Vera Hall's 1937 Trouble So Hard. It has a lot of meaning for him. Ren put out a 8 chapter video essay leading up to the release of this song that was raw and unfiltered. You could see how difficult it was for him to put the details of his life out there. It's to share his story with others, to help others. It's on his other channel renmakesstuff if you want to watch them. It's inspiring.
Thank you. I was unsure if I should post this video and now I am glad I did.
I assumed it was a Moby remix , I as happy to learn its not. I'm pretty unfamiliar with Moby in general and Vera Hall also.
I am going to watch the 8 Chapter videos later today I think.
Amazing lyrically & musically how Ren took his 20's of pain & Misdiagnosis and put into a 4 min song 🎶to bring peace to himself and Awareness & Hope 🌷🌷to others. I hope this touches millions hurting and more funding & awareness to stop the pain in the future. 🙏🙏 Sorry you had to watch your mom suffer, I get it
took 13 years to get correct diagnosis and was very lonely time suffering. Now I can just take one day at a time ((( BIG LOVING HEALING COMFORTING HUGS)))) 💕💕💕
Sorry your mom went through all of that! You never know what Ren will bring, but it always impacts us in some way❤️❤️
Most relatable reaction I've seen for this one. So sorry to hear about your mother 😢 we need more empathy for people going through unexplained illnesses. Too often they're not believed and called hypochondriacs.
Sending so much love your way. The more noise we make about how these illnesses are personally affecting us the more change we can create.
Facts. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your heartfelt thoughts. I'm 24years into living with this, since my early 20s. Neglect, disdain and no medical care. The biggest medical scandal of our time, raising awareness brings me hope.
Thank you for your reaction. I feel for you. Ren is just an incredible human being. Im so glad we found him. As he has said he wants to be a voice for the voiceless and he wants to use his platform to help bring more awareness and compassion for people with these conditions. ❤❤❤
I’m so sorry that your mom went through so much pain and that her loved ones had to watch her suffer. This is exactly why Ren feels a calling to use his platform. To validate the ones suffering and give them hope, and bring awareness to those who don’t know how bad it is. I hope his music and some of the comments give you a little peace.
The sample is Vera Hall's "Trouble so Hard" ren has a short (maybe video) of him creating/putting his twist on it.
I'm sorry about your mom. Thank you for sharing.
You are one of my favorite reactors I have had fibromyalgia for about 20 yrs now…..it is no joke for sure….thank you for sharing your family struggles, I too relate very much to Ren….such a talent he is! Really appreciate you for being so open and honest….great review!
Thanks for the reaction...
I’m sorry your mom suffered and that you still feel the pain so intensely. Love and hugs. Peace, friend.
I'm so sorry to hear about your mother and what you all went through but I'm so glad that Ren is speaking up for the millions of people who are suffering.
Thank you for sharing. ❤🙏🔥
Thanks for sharing no problem stopping
This was a beautiful reaction thank you! Subbed today. Much love from the UK xxx
It's for awareness. ❤❤❤ Sorry for your Mom 😢
Condolences for your Loss... theirs Strength in your comments> you opened up> Ren's able with his own experience to do this to Folk> Never Apologise Son [ 66 years Old Renegade-Yorkshire UK [ Subbed ]
Sending my love from Wales ❤️
Thank you for sharing. I love listening to you.
I’m sorry. It’s hard to lose your mom. Mine passed suddenly due to suicide at 50. She also had chronic pain and she was a nurse. My brother was addicted to opiates at 58 after a stroke. He also passed suddenly from a heart attack caused we think by the opiates. I felt your tears in my eyes. Sorry for all your trials. I have always enjoyed your reactions. Peace
Sorry to hear about your Mom bro. So glad REN made it out because without that free offer to REN for the stem cells he would probably still be in the thick of the struggle. REN says it himself that stem cells is science on the edge of working or not working but for him it worked enough to get his mind back out of some of the mess it was in. It is sad we don’t yet have a better understanding of what these ailments are. Loved the reaction and thank you for putting it out there. I hope it goes even bigger. ❤
One thing Ive learned on my autoimmune journey, those who dont also suffer (or are close to someone who does) have a hard time understanding our pain and lack of energy. Ren helps me not feel alone in this.
So very sorry you had to watch your mom go through that pain❤❤❤🫶🏼Ren released this song for Awareness x more needs to be done for those people who are suffering x
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
hello dear!! thanks for your sincere reaction. i also am ren's medical little sister, fibromyalgia!! i so appreciated your thoughts about your mum, cuz this ish is real, i'm 72yo and live there. thank you for sharing your familial pain, cuz you're helping us all by sharing the truth like ren does. the opiod crisis has been a life cruncher to me. i was literally told i had to choose between being treated for pain or crazy, my choice. i had to choose pain, so i'm "still crazy after alll these years"-lol and just to prove i'm a cranky old lady, i want to point out that if people want to get stem cell surgery in the usa, they have to leave the country. bcuz our world of health care is "brought to you by your friends at ph!ser" sorry this is so long, but i don't get to talk to someone like you who gets it. you are a good son. i gotta go and smoke my pain pipe, too!! after 40yrs of pain clinics with naxi leanings, i left opiods (sigh, methadone works on pains so cleanly), i am that old lady who sits in a rocking chair on a mountian side smokin' and smiling (in my dreams) kathleen 🙃
Love & Hugs 😎❤️💛💚🖤✊🏿🇯🇲🏴
That's right, my mom would have had to go to Germany for Stem Cell treatment at the time. It was impossible.
Thank you for commenting, make it as long as you want. I DO get it, and I'm glad you watched and shared a bit of your story as well. Take care of yourself Kathleen, 🙏
Love your reactions 😊 May I suggest Back on 74 and the entire Sic Boi album 🔥🔥🔥
Wow bro, felt that with you 🙏
Thanks Ren for bringing light and hope to people silently fighting these conditions 👍🙏❤️
It's reactions like yours that are important and worthwhile for this track. Hugs.
he told a story in one of his chapters that he wake up naked on the street at the time where he suffers hard under the mental illnes. I think this was the reference.
btw: trouble so hard is from vera hall
RIP for your Mom!
You are one of way to many people that NEEDS this song and an artist like Ren. Thank you so much for this reaction ❤
@TheLVME I know exactly what Ren went through I have been in severe pain for the last 1O years and have traveled thousands of kilometers hopping from specialist to specialist and still no proper diagnosis, now going for my third operation, lucky for me I live in France and they have me on morphine.
I have been bedridden for the last 7 months due to the previous botched operation, so as you said when you know you know, was also treated like a junkie and that it was all in my head by certain people, thank you Ren, for highlighting this constant fight, but my hopes for a cure are fading fast, a great reaction by the way, and sorry for your loss😪
Hey, peace to you. Music can heal the soul.
❤❤❤❤❤😢
If you would like to see how Ren made the beat in Troubles, he did a short here: ua-cam.com/users/shortsQ29bspwvkSY
My condolences for the loss of your mom and prayers for you and your family. Keep fighting the good fight.
❤️❤️❤️
Damn! I could see your pain. I am sorry.💕🦇
Thank you for sharing your own story. This song needs to be heard! Sending hugs to you. ❤
It’s ok to cry and vent . We all need to at times. I get it. My older brother has Parkinson’s disease at age of 58 and my younger brother 51 had Juvenile arthritis since he was 5 hrs old and now has stills disease (an autoimmune disorder) from it since he was 21 and my mom has fibromyalgia. It’s sometimes scary to think about what awaits me . Just feel blessed but also a since of guilt at the same time . At least I am ok to help take care of them when they need me . I get how you feel . 😢 keep up the reactions and if you get a chance please react to Ren and chinchilla doing Marvin Gaye sexual healing cover . Much love to you and your family
❤❤❤
I was taking a pain med a bunch of years ago. I was taking it on time. For some reason I got off of it. Not sure. Now doctors have been denying it for years now. Luckily I live in Florida because I have my pot card.
There are no Ren fans without compassion and empathy. Thanks for your reactions, somber or happy. We renegades are here for it all ❤
❤
Subbing
2 dear friends had to rely on opioids just to get out of bed. One due to arthritis, arthritis and fibromyalgia for the other one. If you don’t know you don’t know, but if you do know you know you know.
Thank you for your honesty. May your Mum rest in peace. Thank you for your reaction.
I think you would resonate with his story in more detail he put this out on Chapters 1-8 on #RenMakesStuff. Just for context. Subbed for music reactions . See you get this. ☮️
💖💖
💪🙏🐝🍀
I really like your style - subbed! I binged three so far, gonna dive in for more :)
My wife passed october 2023 after being bedridden for 12 years in extreme constant pain. She suffered from Ehlers Danlos Syndrome with Hypermobility which caused her to dislocate at least 50 to 60 joints every day. Thumbs, jaw, ankles, knees, you name it. She used to describe her skeleton in her skin like scrabble tiles in that vevlet bag. Just a loose jumble. EDS aside, it invites a slew of 'comorbidities' - other similar autoimmune complications, allergies, digestive issues, POTS, and so many other issues. We couldn't get a proper diagnosis and her family didn't believe her. They shut her out. Her own brother blocked her. I don't need to tell you more because you clearly know. She voluntarily didn't combat the diabetes that she ended-up getting, and then she pushed it to worsen so she could be relieved of this torturous life. I still haven't been able to touch a single one of her belongings. I'll get there someday but not today...
❤❤❤ 🇦🇺
Severed from his dreams. He had a record deal with Sony and the dropped him because he wasn't able to fulfill his side of the contract because of the illness.
People dream of getting signed. To do that at 19 or 20 is a pretty big accomplishment. To lose it is like losing a winning lottery ticket. Every day after that all you can think about is the life you might of had.
But one you are a great product and not a gimmick you can't be held down. Never give up on your dreams!
Stem cell a doctor saw his health blogs on UA-cam offered ren free treatment if he could get himself to LA and if his treatment was blogged.
Just found you and watched your amazing Halftime video from Ren. Im so sorry for your loss. She must have been an amazing woman for bringing up such a caring and intelligent son like you. Looking forward seeing for reaction videos from you. Love your content.
My mom suffered from chronic back pain from multiple discs degenerating, etc. She, of course, got scipts for Oxy and slipped easily into opioid addiction. We lost her for years to her abuse of the pills. She was, vacant, was the best way to describe her. We had to move her to assisted living to monitor her pill intake. It took months for the clouds to lift and she was finally coming back to who she had always been when she passed from an unrelated issue. My cousin's wife was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in the early 90s and was one of the ones that you mentioned who weren't taken seriously. She ultimately took action on herself and is gone today, leaving behind a husband and a teenage daughter. Tragedy walks hand in hand with these conditions.
SO glad you posted thus reaction. My heart goes out to you for your mom and your own struggles with pain. After 20+ years of treatments that didn't help, then being told, " There's nothing we can do for you. You just have to learn to live with your pain" I was diagnosed last year with dysautonomia.
I deeply appreciate your willingness to be vulnerable and share your experience. As someone else mentioned, not hijacking - you're relating. New subscriber! Much live and blessings to you. 🙋♀️💖
First of all my brother I'm so very sorry for your loss💔, may her soul be at peace now. Take a little solace; like I do, that Ren is out here fighting the good fight, so that fewer of us will suffer like that in the future.🙏🙏FYI bro, this track is nothing like Moby's version on the Natural Blues Album from 1999, I should know I've got the album at home 😜and when I'm in the mood I give that vinyl a spin every once in a while.
In fact Ren purchased the rights to use the exact sample that Moby used, Vera Hall, Trouble So Hard 1937. Ren personally mixed this track on his own from top to bottom adding the guitar licks, percussion and strings as well as all the synths and distortions by altering the sample itself. The actual sample by Vera Hall has no instrumental whatsoever. You can pull it up the original Vera Hall sample on UA-cam and take a listen for yourself. Ren has a short on his channel that shows himself producing parts of this track and what methods he used to get certain sounds.🔥🔥🔥✌
That.s really great to hear about the music. I am very unfamiliar with Vera Hall and Moby also, I just remember hearing it back in the day and assumed it was a remix.
I feel for you Bruv, you've have shown me how much you care & you exposed your feelings ( that's a big thing to do ) hope you are ok? Big love ❤x

No, it was appropriate for you to talk about about your situation on this video. From what he has said, I believe that Ren wants us to relate our own troubles to his, and to find comfort and hope in his music.
I’m so sorry about your mum. xx
