Nayz did a post speaking of how impressed he was of how Ren works. Worth a read.
Where is that?
@@michaelgoyettemusic Nayz community post.
Yo! 😊 Connor said that it was filmed and edited by Ren, Kai, Josh, and Flackerz. (I think they did a lot of it when they went to the Sky Arts awards.)
wow, Portishead vibes, a while since ive heard them metioned, kudos for tapping into that memory. great song from Ren once again. great reaction.
Portishead were awesome…their blend of samples and real instruments was a sonic delight!!
Yo Yo Yo! Really appreciate the musical knowledge you're giving us. Swing beat, 'wet' vs 'dry' and understanding what 'compression' is. Money Ties/Monetize is most probably an intended double. The "no people no prophet/profit" also.
I have a story…. 😂…. One time in a band group chat one member was using dictation apps to type and in discussing a certain expense, he proclaimed this activity was “killing all the prophets” so there you have an unintended double entendres. 😂
However I don’t think Ren made it unintentionally. Thanks the kind words. Always appreciated. ✌️
In one of the comments in Nayz' post, he says the intro instrumental is a sample from an old Japanese film. Yo!
Yo, Ren has the lyrics pinned to the video now. 💜
I’ll give it a read. Thanks 🙏
Mike, the song Ren performs with The Big Push called “Swan Song” is his favorite piece with them. Criminally underrated and an absolute masterpiece of lyricism.
"Swan Song" lyrics and music are from Gorran Kendall. He wrote this in 2016 - before he met Ren and they form (with Romain Axisa) The Big Push. But it is probably an example, how similar thinking both or influence each other.
Man, I have a 10 year old daughter, and this absolutely slaps me awake. She is one of those people like Ren's sister. She is fill of positive, loving and playful energy, trusting people, herself amd the universe.
Yet here in this modern era she is already being scorned and pushed aside by the other girls and assholes of this world. It breaks my heart but I know I have to atay strong and help her kearn to push forward, hopefully knowing her father loves every punce of who she is with no hesitation and no conditions.
I just hope it will be enough.
The scariest thing is I’ve never spoken to a woman about such things who’s never been assaulted or abused herself…..and kind hearted boys don’t have it easy as kids either.
@michaelgoyettemusic Spot on. My son is almost 13 and is very honest, sincere, shy and sensitive. And unbelievably intellectually intelligent. He stores information and data at an extremely high level. But instead of loving math or science (though he is amazing at them both), he values the gathering of human stories and describes it as storing other people's experiences as pictures, almost paintings with extreme detail. Yet he is already wounded because seriously, where would he have ever found friends or people like him. Plus, he is male and certain things are expected of him...and that doesn't include that amazing skill.
I have had to find ways to help him toughen up because grade school absolutely destroyed his soul. Seriously, he loves learning, but feels betrayed by school. It has stolen real learning from him and replaced it with a superficial veneer. He's amazing, but already hiding from the world.
Thanks for reading. I don't always know where to take this stuff. So why not just toss it into the public sphere in UA-cam comments, eh 🤔
@@Mhantrax yeah being a kid is tough…..I got picked on as well but if not for that I never would’ve practiced guitar for hrs every day. His day will come. ❤️
Knox Hill said the female voice at the start was Kit, his Calgary contact. She will be on his next album. The sample, according to Ren, was Nayz. They’ve done a 50/50 split on this, he says. A sweet finger to Kujo! There is beautiful music in this, playing in the background, while Ren lays down the heavy words on the track. It turned out Nayz was screwed over by Kujo in the past, so the two have much in common. Two producers on this one. Somehow it works.
It certainly does work!! ❤️
The narrator in the intro is Kit (666Slaughterhouse) Canadian artist who has done several collabs with Ren and designed his tattoos.
Oh neat. That makes sense…Canadians sound a lot like Californians when we’re sober. ;).
Yo, finally got to finish this late today. Cheers. I really like this track more after each listen.
Yeah I’m only on listen 2 or 3 and I was learning the song for the last 2! I need a few more to absorb it. Hope you’re doing well. Cheers
Fully agree .This is a powerful piece. The message gets stronger every listen.
Yo, love, love, love this song! Very powerful messages and great production! Will definitely check Nayz out! Ren is the best artist ever! Thank you for your detailed reaction and sending hhugs❤
Thanks for the hugs!! ❤️
I've said it other reactions, and I will say it again; I Believe Ren is a Prophet. Like Prophets of old, Ren was challenged by "Our Creator" with illness and suffering to test his worthiness to bring "HIS WORD"; Ren has proven his worthiness. He speaks/sings 'Truth', bringing messages that 'Mankind' NEEDS to hear. In the song "Sound of Silence", there is a verse where they say, "The Words of the Prophets are Written on the Subway Walls, and Tenement Halls"; Ren brings the 'Word' through his music. God Bless!
I think you are correct - Money Ties is meant to sound like Monetize ( Money is the noun, Monetize is turning it into a verb). Likewise with the words “ prophets” and “ profits”. Ren is making the distinction between money, as a necessity, a tool, a means to achieve , create , or produce something that can be meaningful to BOTH oneself and to the whole ; and money as THE thing that is created. This reminds me of a time when I was in HS and all the parents were together for an event. My father asked my friends’s father what he liked to do as a hobby ( counter to the usual “ for a living “) and when the answer he got was “ I like to make money.” he found it so crass and distasteful that it became a lesson to be learned.
YO! I think I read the strings used in the intro are from a Japanese film (and, yes, they cleared it). But once again a solid piece of work from Ren. Hope you're well, Michael.
That makes sense….as far as I know an arrangement like that is expensive….but things are changing every day so I’m never certain. ✌️
The into is biblical from the book of Timothy!
This piece makes me feel like a big hug from Ren, beautifully written and filmed💫
And to think I had religion class every day in Catholic school!! I don’t remember a thing from it!😂
@@michaelgoyettemusic No shame Mike! I learned from previous reactions myself🤦♀️
It most closely correlates to the English Standard Version of the Bible with a couple of minor changes. 1 Timothy 6:6-10. The passage had sounded familiar so I had to look it up. It was then I realized how much the different translations of the text differed. King James Version uses the often misquoted “For the love of money is the root of all evil” whereas the English Standard Version uses the less black & white “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.”
Thanks Mike…what a great and sentimental song as well… there were more than one or two tears shed… yo I did great! Thanks!♥️ oh btw I got it on good faith the video was filmed by Josh Styles, Joe Flack and Kai Lacey these are three of REN’s immediate team and great film masters… also the girl reading at the beginning is Kat from Slaughterhouse REN’s musical partner from Canada… ♥️ very talented in her own right…
Thank you ❤✌️
His sister suffered yrs of domestic abuse, his words are so meaningful!!
Ahhhh fuck…..who did that to her?
@michaelgoyettemusic her partner, I don't know if uv reacted 2 Rens, jenny/screech an violets tales?? Violets tale really resonated with him an gave him the, I don't wanna say inspiration!! But I guess that's the only word I can find 2 that explains!! Its fukked up bruvva!!
@@funkdoobe2610 not literally inspired by the song I hope?
My big sister was married to a psychopath so I get it it a little.
Top tier Ren, this one, I think.
No arguments from me! ✌️
#Renagades no people no prophet
❤❤❤ Excellence ❤❤❤
The intro is a sample from a Japanese Movie Nayz found and Ren loved. They cleared it of course. 😉
Imagine if they got copyrighted? The Renegades would take down the entire Japanese Movie industry! 😂
@@michaelgoyettemusic LOL facts. It was cleared though; they just could not pronounce it nor read it, lolol.
Yo! This is prob 15th time I’ve listened to this and I had this weird feeling of nostalgia for his sisters part and just now I realized where the feeling came from. (It’s a weird one)
Oh, the Places You’ll go (which always had me on the verge of tears when I read it to my kids too)
Where did it come from? I’m so curious right now! :)
@@michaelgoyettemusic I think @LeeannG might be talking about the Dr Zeus book "Oh, the places you'll go" it gives that same choked up feeling making ya a lil teary ...
@@BeeyaCreativeSelf oh yeah. Good catch.
@@michaelgoyettemusic “oh the places you’ll go”! It’s a book by Dr suess!
I thought you said its the purgatory Reacts in the beginning. 😂😂 My bad. Language barrier. 😅Best regards from Norway 🇳🇴
Yo. Thanks for speaking about the production. It's stuff you don't necessarily notice until someone with knowledge points it out.
Notice that it was the queen on the note; not the new guy.....
We have the Queen on our notes in Canada….I’ve yet to see a note with the king but I assume they’re coming.
@@michaelgoyettemusic guess it takes a while. I suppose the queen notes will be keepsakes.
@@hollyryalsgrubb1273 some day they will be rare.
Money itself is not the root of evil, but the Love of Money IS. Money is just a tool for easier trade, but some abuse the tool. In the 1988 movie, "They Live", staring 'Rowdy Roddy Piper', aliens have 'Cloaked' everything so humans would not discover them, but with special 'Sunglasses' people could 'See' the Truth; my point, when 'Piper' wore them, he looked at money and it was plain paper with the words "This Is Your God"; everything else had cloaked messages also. In our world today there are people that Worship money like it Was God. With messages like this song, maybe 'We Humans' will wake the 'F' up, and strive to change the ills of this world; and Only worship 'Our Creator'; however one's Faith defines 'Him'. God Bless!
Yo
How are you Mike?
Really appreciate you man.
Had some financial hiccups the last couple weeks hence you might have noticed my membership to your channel briefly disconnected… and has now re connected.
I hope you are well
Take care man
Daz
Hope all is now solid Daz. Cheers.
@@martinrobinson936 thank you friend
Take care Martin
🙏
Never worry about that Daz….I’m glad you’re back on better footing from the sounds of it!! I appreciate you too! ✌️
Ren doesn't do anything by accident. The fact that it sounds like monetize, and the message of the song, I would bet 100% it's supposed to come across that way. I caught it early too, and that's all I hear when he says it now.😅
Exactly….I heard it that way the first time I said it out loud before I’d heard Ren say it!! Nice one bro!! ✌️
@@michaelgoyettemusic love how sharp your ears are. Love your reactions brother.
Yo! ❤
(drive by yo - got shit I need to do, but I enjoyed your commentary as always!)
Have a great day. ❤️
Yo!
This is in my top 3 ren songs Mike. H
BTW, Have you seen the new yamaha tag3 transacoustic. I know it has nothing to do with ren l, but damn what an acoustic guitar
I know nothing about the guitar you speak of. Tell me more!!
Yo ❤
Yo
You're not equipped to react. You need the whole story.
Do your research..you seem very kind..go research..you don't know the background..not your fault..trust me it will be worth your time. I have never been inspired..I hope you do the background ro truly appreciate what you're responding to.❤
You can’t just say what it is? I don’t even know what I’d be researching. 🤔
I'm a die hard Renegade and have no idea what you're talking about Jennifer. Can you expand for us?
