Never apologize for emotions. I'm a 54 year old, long haired biker type and this song makes me cry EVERY single time. Music is powerful, especially when EVERYONE can relate so deeply. Everyone has that battle with themselves at some point. Keep up what you are doing, I just found your channel today and am subscribing. I'm glad you are here, and I'm proud of you too.
Me too😂
THANK YOU SOO MUCH... this means a lot to me!
Hey Mike, try James Blunt's song "Monsters". Had me balling like a little girl 😂😂
He hit it right on new subscriber here😊
Hey 47 year old long haired biker in UK. Well said Mike. Same here, I want to hug everyone I see reacting to this song. And yes James Blunt Monsters is a must for any one. Get the tissues ready. Also Alterbridge, In loving memory gets me too.
I think the line "Some know me as hope. Some people know me as the voice you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope" is one of the most powerful lyrics I've ever heard and you shouldn't apologize for how that line hit your heart. I can't get it out of my mind. Bless you.
Agreed. As well as the line "In the Gallows, I'm balanced on my toes so I can breathe." From Chalk Outlines are some of his most powerful lyrics he's written. And he's written a lot of them lol.
I agree, that line came out of nowhere and it presses tears out of my eyes each time.
That one floored me.
Agreed. That’s the line where the tears start flowing for me, too…my heart feels like it’s going explode…it lasts til the very end of the poem at the end of the song. Ren is brilliant.
Edit: In truth, the tears start to gather, and my heart starts to hurt, w the line, “I was made to be tested and twisted…” By the time he stands on his own 2 feet and then talks about being known as hope, I’m crying. And when he starts to sing, it’s game over.
And don’t get me started on the loosening of the noose on the rope. The guy is brilliant. And he gets it. He knows. Knowing there are people out there who understand is comforting. He really is Hope.
Its the "I go many names also"
We hear of so many names for lucifer and the devil that wed tend to forget that we have just as many words for hope and positivity and faith.
I've lost count how many times I've listened to this song. Both alone and in reaction videos. I flat out bawl every time,. Even when I watched 3 hours of reaction videos in a row. It's so cathartic for me
Same. I….yeah….same.
Yes... Just yes
I'm literally 4 hours down that rabbit hole right now!
Same! Every single time
two days in so far and rips into me every time
I’ve never seen this, heard this. I didn’t even know he existed until yesterday and this is my first time seeing him. And I have to tell you how much of a comfort it was to watch this “with” someone who’s tears started at the same moments of the song that it really hit me.
Humanity shared. It is good. Don’t ever change. ❤
Man this guy REN is an actual genius isn’t he? Wow! This song is going to be stuck with me for a while.
No turning back now!!! Your hooked! Peace n ❤️
Cry every time I watch it and that's after bout 50 views!! An I'm hard-core 48 year old skater! An still skating....🛹✌️
Dude, never apologize for showing emotion…that’s why we’re here, to find other people that feel a connection to something that was special to us. I’ve watched the Hi Ren vid 30 times and haven’t made it through once without at least tearing up. You are doing a fucking stellar job and I can’t wait for you to put out more! 🖤
Thank you 🥺🫂
@@SlashleyReacts I'm a 46 year old guy who cried like a baby when I watched it the first time. No need to apologize. I teared up today myself.
If this video doesnt leave someone crying and speechless...I dont think they have emotions and dont wanna hear their opinion. I get mad at the reactioners that cut away and edit out their actual reactions. The crying is your reaction and the true one. I am 54 yr old male and Im obsessed with Ren atm ...inspired, because of this video, Ive seen Hi Ren almost 50 times by now and it still gets to me.
@@yarbafett 58 year old male here...exactly. I've probably seen it more than 100 times now, and I can get through the actual song now without crying, but when I see a reactor showing such emotion, I'm right back there wiping the tears away.
@@markhenderson7930 56 and same here m8
Really quick, before I go through all of the comments from today, here and on other videos.
I just wanted to thank all of you for your kind words.. Seriously... Music in many ways brings so many people together and also makes us feel less alone in such a BIG world..
I hope today you were able to find a reason to smile. laugh... hell.. if you needed to... cry even... We got this.. We will always have this.. and we will ALWAYS conquer this.
HUGS to all of you, my friends 🫂
Great to see Ren reaching reactors, like yourself, who take genuine inspiration and ultimately kinship from Hi Ren. His 'Jenny and Screech Tale (Full version)' is amazing...difficult subject matter but incredible 3 part in one-take performances. To lighten the mood, I recommend some inspiring ladies of rock...kick off with a nice gothic, creepy MV (on 8mm film), song 'Rinne' (pronounced Reen-Eh...means reincarnation) by Band-Maid. If you like that, then their 'Play' Official Live is another must-see. Great musicians and the gothic style of my favourite singer Saiki...got me through covid 😁 Reactions or just your own enjoyment, either way...wishing you well from the UK 👍
Hi slashley new sub here and you had my heart strings going 😢 I’m very PROUD of you too! And you should be too! THANK YOU for such a beautiful reaction. Stay strong! Be you! And never stop fighting, the struggles are real and your not alone x
So proud of you for the way you handled getting through this. You are loved Ashley :)
Greatful for pain for I wudnt Kno the levels that joy has even during pain...!!! I love you I see you an am so proud your part of the sound Trac that is my life!! New sub!! ✌🏼💗😊
Young lady, I have listened to this at least 50 times now. You made ME cry when your emotions run free. It was beautiful. You said, "I may look crazy doing it, but, um, I mean what's wrong with some crazy, you know?" Such an honest and sincere, even raw and emotional thing to say. If that was crazy, then I am ALL IN for it. Remarkable. You touched a deep nerve within me. As many times as I have listened to this, you helped me feel something in a new, different, and unexpected way. Thank you for your beautiful reaction to this incredible work of art.
No one expects anything going into it and then no matter who you are, it pulls your vulnerabilities out whether you want it to or not.
Don't you dare apologize for being human, your reaction was real and unscripted and beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!🥺
@@SlashleyReacts never apologise for the state of your mind I've had this battle every day
I love when he starts to sing - "So cower at the man I've become
When I sing from the top of my lungs
That I won't retire I'll stand in your fire
inspire the meek to be strong " that part of the song is so strong emotionally. I've watched this 50+ times and it still moves me.
i just read that.. and got the chills.. holy shit.. XD
thank you!
When he starts singing it's like he has transcended and that is why it's a new voice.
Give the devil a big ole L today friends.
Same…i always gets to me.
What a precious gift this young man has given to the world.
This is supremely emotional, I’m 53, and I’ve never been this emotionally involved in a song such as this
I've listened to this song a dozen times now and I still tear up every time. I've never heard anything like this.
Don't apologise for crying. I am a British woman of nearly 70 years old and cry every single time I watch this video by Ren. I truly believe this young master was sent by a higher power to help humanity. His words and observations are truly remarkable and relatable and will go down in history!
exactly this. this is why we love ashe she is human
I agree, this is a gift to humanity.
I am from Brazil, English isn't my first language, however you don't need to understand all this, the video and voice tone is a huge part to making me cry every single time and watch it. You got 1 more sub, who doesn't cry might be little broken 😢❤
I hope Ren realizes how incredibly powerful of a song he's created.
I honestly hope so too!
yeah I think him commenting on a load of reactions and seeing he has close to amillion subs now, and had like half of that a few months ago, and all the thousands of comments saying how this song moved them, I think he's got a pretty good idea
I think he knows. This song made me cry😢so many people struggle with this. He’s a legend 1000 perfect ❤
Oh he knows. He’s doing something raw and relatable with this song and it’s brought awareness to his music and his struggles. He’s a genius.
49 year old woman here. I absolutely love this song because it speaks to me. I’ve dealt with anxiety/ depression for the better part of my life and I’m just so thankful it’s much more open to talk about now. Just know your emotions are genuine because you feel it. I don’t know you but I love you. You have a mom if needed in SC.
Anger, doubt, sadness...and finally hope..brought to us in a few minutes of Ren being himself. We need more of this in the world, truly.
Your reaction to Ren's emotionally charged performance (filmed and recorded live btw) was honest and moving. Power on my friend!
Thank you very much! Yea.. the rawness was there for sure..I debated on even posting this because I was like.... I...broke...down 🥺
@@SlashleyReacts That's what made your reaction so fantastic. The honesty of it. When he said "some people call me hope" you can see the impact it had on you....beautiful
@@SlashleyReacts Nothing wrong with a raw reaction, especially to a song as raw as Hi Ren.
I basically reacted the same way (and still do) simply because of how the song hits, going from dark depression, over elation, to a more somber, realistic (but hopeful) note...it's heart wrenching and joyful.
actually he is wonderfully lip-syncing to a pre-recorded track (as most videos are) but it's really well made.
This is one of the greatest music performance tracks I've ever heard. Ren is a genius. He's somehow managed to put down EXACTLY what mental health is - truly amazing.
And chronic illness! Its really validating
Yeah, it's mental health and health in general... for me it tied in perfectly with a misdiagnosed disorder that affects physical/ cognitive/ immune system. Plus misdiagnosed mental health issues which turned out to be autism.
Another theme that comes up again and again is the "imposter syndrome" almost all my friends and family suffer, and Ren helped them find the language and tap into the emotions and sway with the dance.
I love that everyone can find a message/ theme in Hi Ren that's personal to them or a loved one. It's such a powerful tool to cut down mental roadblocks and language roadblocks that keep feelings at a distance.
Don't worry Darlin, this song hits this way to all of us. I've watched it a thousand times and a thousand different reactions and I still get choked up every time.
That "Darlin" of yours made me miss my dad so much. Thanks!💕
Ren's performance is raw, beautiful, and brilliant. His message is strong and has reached so many people, I'm grateful for it. Deep breath. Never apologize for feeling. I'm happy you are here and I'm proud of you, too. You got this.
It's fairly rare for someone to watch this and not be moved. There's a reason this has almost 10 million views in just a few months - it captures a part of the human experience that we all deal with to one degree or another. This work of art reminds us that we're not alone in these struggles - you are not alone.
thank you so much!!
@SlashleyReacts you reacted so genuinely! You are wonderful and that was an amazing reaction. Never be sorry for feeling when a wonderful piece of art moves you. Keep being beautiful and unique!
This is literally what happens everyone who listens to this song it's powerful as hell. Whatever you went though I hope you can work through it but I think Ren is helping a lot of people see their own struggles because he's making his so public and honest.
Thank you!!
No not everyone gets emotional hearing this song. I’m so glad I’m on meds, cause this song would send me right into a nightmare psychosis
@goon3310 I can see where that would come from but it's incredibly reductionist and generalising.
37 year old construction worker here. Whilst having my own struggles this song makes me bawl. In a good way.
I have seen many reacts to this song. Yours was close to how I felt when I first saw this video.
Thank you for saying you're proud of "me". I needed that. I'm proud of you too!
Of course! Thank you for being here 🥺
I’m 55 years old, and I cried watching YOU cry. You experienced this song EXACTLY as I think it’s best experienced; through the lens of empathy. I’ve now watched dozens of reactions to this song - and I otherwise never watch reaction videos - and yours is the most empathetic reaction by far. It’s a strong recommendation for your humanity.
Same.
70 years old here, and I feel the same way. This hit me right in the feels.
same Ren use to be in my uncle band in uni and iv been following him on this ride and its incredible to see so many powerful reaction
Same...50 here
Great reaction my friend don't worry about crying to this video it makes a lot of people cry it has a great message we are all human love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍
Thank you 🫂
Please have a look at marcelito pomoy - the prayer live on the wish bus many thanks love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍
Even the StrongDad reactor cried, and I dont know why but I love to see it, the humanity 😃
I'm 77 and shed tears every time I watch this. I'm reaching through the screen to give you a hug. Thanks for your reaction.
Aweee thank you!
And please if you accept hugs, I hope you can take one from me too!! 🫂
I've watched this video an uncountable amount of times including an uncountable amount of reaction videos and it hits me hard every single time. I'm a grown ass man and this brings tears to my eyes every time, even more so when a content creator doing a reaction gets emotional as well. The message of his song is so POWERFUL! The fact that Ren hasn't won some sort of award for this song is astounding.
Welcome to the RENaissance. ❤
Ren is a truly talented musician, songwriter, and storyteller.
For more emotional content with some haunting singing, you should check out Chalk Outlines ft Chinchilla (live).
For a dive into his storytelling and guitar greatness, then try The Tale of Jenny & Screech (full). Make sure it's the full, as it was originally released in three parts.
He also does some great hiphop/rap tracks with some ferocious flow and wondrous wordplay: Losing It. The Hunger. What You Want. Power. Genesis.
And his last two releases both go hard; Sick Boi, and Illest of Our Time.
But his entire catalog is full of absolute gems so feel free to browse.
~ Peace
Thank you for the welcome! I'm going to definitely have to check out these other videos/songs as well!
Ren is my favorite Bard.
@Clyde Shelton It's only fair since I stole it from someone else. 😁
...& watching Ren react to reactors reacting to Illest Of Our Time... a legit RenCEPTION.
@Clyde Shelton I call him a "Ren-agade"
watching Ren is like watching performance art
I've watched Ren for awhile now nearly everyday and it always makes me cry! It's so moving. Amazing song. He could have never written that song without going through whatever he went through. It's brilliant.
15:00 - Didn't realise how much I needed this right now. I'm a week post-surgery, dealing with a massive infection, in pain, bedbound by chronic health issues and now on my 4th procedure in the last few months, with - in all likelihood - a much bigger and riskier one needed because of the complications I'm having. I'm exhausted, sick, in constant pain and struggling to keep pushing forward right now, and maybe it's stupid, but just hearing some random person telling me that they're glad I'm here and they're proud of me when it feels like I have nothing buoying me up right now... thank you.
The storytelling of The Tales of Jenny and Screech (FULL) trilogy will hit all the feels.
I'm going to have to go through all of this
Don‘t forget the tissues. You will need them.
At the end of Violet I was completely speechless.
@@SlashleyReacts i'd suggest watching the two duets with Chincilla first, they're meaningful but a bit softer. Jenny and Screech is great storytelling but a tough watch.
I found it tough to watch you cry but found your reaction genuine and real and that's the biggest compliment I can pay you
What you said at the end resonates with Ren's closing message too. "We must not forget, we are human beings" and how that dance between the light and dark is what makes us human. It's a dance we all are learning
Absolutely 🥺 thank you
Sweetheart.....I am a Momma and a Nana and I am proud of YOU. Ren just perfectly expressed such human feelings we can relate to on such a deep level, and in a way I have neeeeever heard before. Soooo real, and so true and raw. What an impressive musical and lyrical genius he is. How fortunate we are to have experienced his music and message. And likewise, thank you for being here with your raw emotions so we can also feel human and have a connection to you, and to others.
It's cathartic, I think, that we've had such a visceral reaction to this. And it stays with us....in a good way.
Hugs to you.
Finally someone's reaction that gets what this song is really about. My son sent me this song about a year ago saying mom this is me. He struggles with depression and bipolar. And has been hospitalized more than once. I cried so hard. But, it also have me insight on the chaos that goes on in his brain. The end when Ren stated his story it was a mirror image of my son. Still makes me cry but he has learned to cope with who he is now. Although, I'll never stop worrying.
What a beautiful reaction. You're not the first one to cry and you won't be the last. Ren has a way of reaching out and touching your soul like no one I have heard from in a very long time.
thank you!
Girl, I was crying with you. ❤
I've heard this song a million times and have cried nearly everytime.
I feel this!! 🥺
This song has the same effect on me. Everyone who has struggled recognizes this battle. And Ren's delivery is so beautiful and powerful. It is actually good to see others have this reaction as well
"Combats Depression" is a great way of expressing it; it illustrates your efforts against a miserable condition.
Never ever apologize for feeling. There’s a reason so many people resonate with this song? Performance? Art piece? We are all human beings. We’re proud of you too
Wait ... weren't you supposed to feed us with profound insights and unique observations (about a music video that most of us have probably seen more times than Ren has at this point LOL?) No. Stop. Your reaction was as authentic and human as any I've seen. Besides, if I'm a talented artist, I'm going to choose making people cry over making people describe shit ... ALL DAY LONG. So thank you for having the courage to share your vulnerable moments with a bunch of strangers on the internet.
thank you 🥺
❤❤❤
Wholeheartedly agree.!❤️❤️❤️
We ALL shed those tears of pain and empathy
Anyone NOT moved by this song is not someone I want to know. I've watched literally hundreds of reactions to Hi Ren and yours was great! I'm subscribing to your channel for your honesty, openness and intelligence. P.S. - Watch more Ren. He has a HUGE variety of music styles, I'm sure you'll love a lot of it.
thank you!!
Feeling seen is a pretty profound feeling when you feel alone or unheard or misunderstood...i had a similar reaction to this.
Yea... it's a very overwhelming feeling. But surrounding yourself with the right kind of people/love (including self love) makes all the difference
Your emotions are valid.. YOU are valid. It's okay to cry I totally cry every time I listen to this song.... Don't be sorry be silly, it's like Ren says... We must NOT forget we are human. ❤ And also thank you because I needed to hear that someone's proud of me for once. I appreciate you
I will say that I responded just as strongly as you did. A friend sent this to me, randomly, on a night where I was drinking alcohol alone. I was bawling. I watched it so many more times and sent it to all of my friends. It still makes my eyes water everytime I listen to this song. I learned more about Ren as well. He was diagnosed with Lime disease, and was unable to even walk for years. That was the significance of him standing up at the end when his positive, strong, and triumphant return happens. I absolutely love this song. It is by farm my favorite song ever... Know you aren't alone in your struggle, your fight. So many people feel just like you do listening to this song.
I've seen this song make loads of people cry. You're not alone. Over seen it a hundred times, and I cry every time. It speaks to everyone, because everyone struggles with something. From depression and anxiety, to self doubt. When you check out his older stuff, bring tissues. I recommend How To Be Me (live) next. It's amazing.
i have so many of his songs that i need to listen to.. and i look forward to it... as welll as being handy with A LOT of tissues!
This is the most beautiful reaction I've seen. The fact that you let your emotions show and didn't cut away shows you're a true content creator.
thank you so much 😢
@@SlashleyReacts thank you. This is by far the most raw reaction to this I've seen, and I've probably watched 200 or so.
I’ve watched probably all the Hi Ren reactions and this is my fave. When he says “hope” toward the end, your shoulder drops. Then he says “loosen the noose on the rope” and you lose it (and I think you looked at someone off camera like “what should I do”). I had the same reactions in those two moments.
I've seen easily 100+ reactions to this. I've seen therapists, psychologists, cinematographer, vocal coaches, rappers, guitarosts and tons of others. For me, initially, this song just blew me away. The openness, vulnerability, and truth of this is so moving.
Your reaction stands out because it is so honest, visceral and raw. For that, I want to genuinely THANK you!
Love and Light.
As someone who should (by all rights) not be here anymore, this song hit me like a semi-truck, and still does countless times later, so you have no need to apologise, lass. I'd go so far as to say that exact emotional response and borderline speechlessness is the purest response a work of art like this can receive.
Don't apologize, I cried too. Ren is so authentic and caring himself, he pulls that out of us too. His journey was so long and traumatic, and it so wonderful to see him finally achieving his dreams. Watch the Jenny and Screech trilogy. He has a very large catalogue, and he can do almost anything. A creative genius and a force of nature. Thank you for your excellent reaction.
thank YOU for being here!!
I am glad I stumbled upon this video. I’m 58 & I cried too.
Just remember, whatever your situation is: things could ALWAYS BE WORSE. Every day I have that thought, so I’m grateful for the “little things”. Everything is a blessing
This song sneaks into our psyche and without realising it we find ourselves suddenly identifying to a greater or lesser extent. Before we realise it we are crying and feeling the pain of his struggle and yet at the same time hearing the joy and hope that he believes in. Ren is a bard, a tale teller capable of amazing music woven into a tapestry of skillful music.
I cried. The voice that you hear when you loosen. Exceptional artist . It is a positive song. He stands .we stand strong!!
Never apologise for having emotions; for being human.
This piece of performance art is raw, authentic, and powerful. That it affected you so deeply is a sign of its power to connect; and also a sign that you understand it. That you grok it.
You have heard your inner critic, just like Ren; and you know what it means when he sings about his struggles.
"And I have many names also : some people know me as Hope / Some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope. " This hits so hard.
Thank you
This kid is indeed a genius. And I have cried a few times already listening and watching him. I am a 62 years old man and I respect him deeply. And you have just shown us how human you are too. Take care.
You’re reaction to this song was the most heartfelt and emotional reaction I have ever seen. Thank you for not making it all about you, which seems abundant in most other videos of this kind of content. I think I’m one of the lucky ones that, to this point in my life has not had to deal with the issues of depression or anxiety. I’m not a religious person but for some reason I feel compelled to say. God be with you on your journey.
A truly beautiful reaction. This piece is changing so many lives for the better.
❤❤❤❤
Ren has touched to many people with his music especially this song / art and has baught people from all walks of life and all ages together because we all have struggles and can relate.
Dont worry this song has made pretty much all of us shed a tear or 2 lol
You have just touched the surface of Ren and i hope you continue to do more of his music, he has so many styles and every song he does is amazing. You could check out Sick boi which is kinda a follow up, and also the trilogy of Jenny and Screech (make sure its the full one not indicidule ones if you do as its a whole story/performace.) Pick any Ren track and you wont be dissapointed.
I can see this for sure... and yea.. I may have shed 1 or 2 tears with this one 🤣
Even when I went back to edit.. it got me again 🥹🤣
@@SlashleyReacts aww well at least it shows how great his performance is I’m sure you will enjoy alot of his other work too and don’t worry not all of them will make you cry haha
NICE comment 👍
@@SlashleyReacts Quite understandable. I've seen perhaps 60 or 70 reaction videos for this video and I still tear up most of the times.
For me, a genuine and heartfelt reaction gives me hope for humanity; I think it's a very human thing to react like you did, and I want to thank you for not cutting away from it but rather let your emotions show. There's great power in being sensitive.
I'm a 42 year old goth and just found your channel. Ren is amazing, it's ok to cry. Beauty in darkness. Thanks for your reaction video.
Girl, Ren made me realize I'm not alone but so did you. I can't watch this vid without crying and clearly neither can you. It's all good. The song is POWERFUL!
I felt like I was punched in the gut the first time I heard this song and shed tears MANY listens later. Still do sometimes but mainly now it's when it hits reactors like it did me. I don't want to see anyone cry but I seek out reactors who got it the way I and so many people do. Ren can do all genres of music. Some fun and some that really hit you in the feels. "Chalk Outlines"with Chinchilla is another that hit me like this. Check that out and literally all of his other stuff. Dude is a master storyteller and he can RAP rap. Peace and strength to you.
Thank you!
I am proud of you for not only making it through that reaction, but opening up and sharing with your audience the struggles that you have. Ren has a way of touching your soul, and even though I've watched the song and reactions to it literally hundreds of times, it still hits me every single time, especially when I see the vulnerability of the reactors as they watch. You are not alone! Blessings to you!
TRUTH! ☝️☝️☝️
thank you so much! i hope you are well! 😊
This song does it to me everytime. This is the art of Ren, to convey emotion so vividly.
Never be sorry for showing true emotion , awesome reaction .. I also cried like a baby take care :) WE ARE ALL HUMANS and we all have emotions :)
Please, don't be apologetic for being moved. The message of the song, it's raw emotion and vulnerability reached you. Those of us watching these reactions are hoping for honest reactions that can't be hidden. Especially is we were so moved and we want to experience that move again, for the first time, through the lens of someone else's reaction.
Ren is a rabbit hole and a swiss army knife of an artist with a deep back catalog. If you choose to pursue it, I hope you enjoy the journey.
Even as an old metalhead from several generations back, when personal expectations were more compressed and even keel was the expected norm, this song is impressive as hell. We are not our struggles. Keep up the good work.
Thank you🥺
I thought that he was doing a play on Ren and Stimpy at first, but he got deep, very, very quickly.
Its been so many years since something surprised me musically but this is something else, not only musically but the depth, mastery of so many angles (message, rap, guitar command, singing, meaning, coordination music and lyrics to mean something, etc, etc). Masterwork! and beyond
I agreeee
Reactions like these are why I've binged "Hi Ren" reactions over the past week. That honest feeling of emotion this evokes, that feeling of thinking "I'm not the only one." These reactions allow me to experience that feeling all over again. It's a provides a wonderful catharsis (my SAT word for the day) that I can't get enough of.
thank you for coming by here!!!!!
I love how human this song makes everyone that blindly reacts to it become. It’s so utterly emotional: the struggle of life
Never apologize for your tears. I cry and get goosebumps every time I hear this song. Ren's story and his strength is incredible.
I've watched many reactions to this song and this one is the most authentic because that was the moment I cried too. The moment light won over darkness. Everyone wants hope and this guy nailed it. When he said "I'm the voice you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope" that's when most human beings with conscience lose it. It's ok to cry
You shouldn't apologize when music brings you to tears. Never! It means you're dancing the dance. It means you're a human being. And we must not forget that!
"It doesn't lessen your struggles" A good thing to keep in mind.
The emotions are never worth apologizing, the human in us is what's needed so much more these days. I love your content, keep it up Ash
Still the best reaction ever to Hi Ren. Hits home to many who are suffering, anxiety, depression, loneliness .
This was a beautiful reaction video. So real and raw, and exactly how this song hit me the first time I heard it. I have had 2 of the hardest weeks of my life, and discovering Ren during this time has helped me more than I can ever trluy put into words. I was so dark, and I feel so much lighter now than I had. This old goth gets it, he really does.
I wrote this when I had only seen about half of your reaction. You are a lovely person, and thank you for sharing your truth.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you are doing well
64 years old here, with a rough life behind him. I was also reduced to a puddle of tears by this song. 😭 I even teared up at your reaction. 😪
I have listened to this countless times and cry every time for so many reasons. Do not aplogize.
When you started out it was a bubbly "let's listen to this together" followed by an admiration for his playing skills, then the freight train hits you dead in the chest. This is something more people need to experience because some or all of this by every single person on the planet at some time.
I have watched many Ren reacts videos as I am a big Ren fan. But I absolutely love yours. You got me crying, watching your tears. Your reaction was raw and real. Your words were authentic, valuable, sweet and sincere. Keep it up Sistar, just be yourself as you are perfect just the way you are. I was a goth in the early 80s and so loved that you dabbed your teary make-up with a black handkerchief - a perfect goth moment. You've captured my heart. Thank you. ❤
this hit me in the heart... hard... thank you so much... and i really hope those tears were good tears.. and even if they weren't that's ok too.. biggest of hugs to you if that's ok!
Never be ashamed of your emotions. That is your true heart and soul showing through. I loved your reaction and I as a 58 year old male cried right along with you. Earned a like and a sub.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH 😟
That line hits me so hard too. “The voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope”
I'm also 54 and I cried the first time i heard it and every time since. Ren's music is powerful. He really is a talented wordsmith. Some know me as hope. Some people know me as the voice you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope hit me hard because one of my children tried to take his life this way. This song speaks to all our dark parts and calls out to all our bright ones and in the end, we must not forget, we are human. And that's okay. Enjoy the dance. Go ahead and cry, we're crying with you. Great react video.
I think the best tribute to a musician, Artist, or Actor is to be moved by their performance....And for Musicians we rarely get moved like this...Seems, our musicians may be able to get us up and dancing or to shake a fist in the air violently but few can move us as Ren just did....He makes us cry but also makes us think about humanity and ourselves...Its truly a talent for someone who can reach deep inside himself and weave a one man performance in such a way that we sit staring and listening totally transfixed to his every word.
This is a beautiful work of art, and your reaction is/was (as has been said) powerful, honest, and from the heart and soul. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for being the person you are.
Thank YOU for the kind words.. truly means a lot 🫂
@@SlashleyReacts, you're very welcome!
Must be close to my 50th time watching someone react to this! Hands down best reaction, it’s not even close ❤
I've watched this so many times and still cry at the same bit every time. It's an incredibly powerful song that i think everyone on the planet can relate to in some way. Whether they admit it or not.
You are not alone. I too wept towards the end of Ren’s performance, a live take (four attempts).
I am 62 man who deals chronic pain due to my diabetes, diabetic polyneuropathy and hypertension.
Ren is an amazing artist. This not not just a music video it us artistic performance. I hope you continue your journey with Ren, Nightwish, Floor Jansen, and Jinger. All this artists, musicians, and groups are simply beyond.
I agree whole heartedly. I hope you are well
@@SlashleyReacts - Now THAT my dear... was the proper reaction to this song. By the end of this, I didn't know if I was crying in sadness... or at the sheer poetic beauty of his performance.
The song hit you hardest at the same moment it did me. When he says - 'the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope'. So profound and lyrical at the same time. Its the moment you forgive yourself. The other line just after that where he says 'And I didn't once flinch or shake' - puts me to a moment in life when I felt the same pride for not flinching or shaking when I maybe should have.
You should never apologise. If you don't cry to this song then you're one of the lucky few to have never gone through it.
Love this reaction. Thank you for being open , vulnerable and honest. Ren is a special person. This song is powerful and beautiful.
Thank you for your empathy and heartfelt reaction. I'm a 56 yo man with a mohawk and I bawl like a baby at many of Rens songs. They touch you in a way that few things can, but that shared experience with all of us who are falling down the Ren rabbit hole is cathartic. Knowing you are not alone and recognising that our darkest moments are part of what it means to be human is a liberating thing that can really help, and you don't need to look far to see that Rens messages and experiences are saving lives.
Ren is an absolute prodigy of almost any genre. I hope you choose to see more of what he does, he can sing like an angel, tell a tale like a troubadour of old times and Rap like he was born spitting bars.
If you are prepared for the emotions, check Ren and chinchilla , either 'I forgot how to be me (live)' or 'chalk outlines' (live). Beautiful haunting music that will be with you for ever.
If you want to lighten it up, check out 'Losing it' . A personnel fave is 'Blind eyed', but watch this version as its not on any ren sites so people often miss it and its simply the best: ua-cam.com/video/6z7ug3B_Sts/v-deo.html
Your genuine reaction has earned you a well deserved sub from me.
This is literally like the 30th reaction to this song I've seen after already seeing it 30 times on my own. I cried along with you. I have yet to listen to this and not be struck into tears.
🥺🥺🥺🥺
I cry every time. Music touches the SOUL 🫶🏼
This is a musical play. It hits home even more when you know Ren has Lyme disease and he was in a wheelchair for quite some time and he struggled with psychosis because of the disease.
Thank you for such a sincere reaction. Don't ever apologize for your emotions. Several people around the world have reacted in the same way because Ren's masterpiece is also so sincere, emotional, and relatable! You are doing a great job and we love your reactions!
Thank you 🥺
