Your going to need a Case of Tissues when You show the Ladies Jenny and Screech as well as For Joe. Don't forget to Load Up and Maybe bring a Huggie Blanket.
yo. love your videos. I think you need to update your definition of stoicism, dude. Stoicism is rad. You are a stoic. The Stoics are especially known for teaching that "virtue is the only good" for human beings, and that external things, such as health, wealth, and pleasure, are not good or bad in themselves (adiaphora) but have value as "material for virtue to act upon". Many Stoics-such as Seneca and Epictetus-emphasized that because "virtue is sufficient for happiness", a sage would be emotionally resilient to misfortune. The Stoics also held that certain destructive emotions resulted from errors of judgment, and they believed people should aim to maintain a will (called prohairesis) that is "in accordance with nature". Because of this, the Stoics thought the best indication of an individual's philosophy was not what a person said but how a person behaved.[3] To live a good life, one had to understand the rules of the natural order since they believed everything was rooted in nature. Love you guys... 40!!!
Wow! Your explanation of the vulnerability is not only so true, it literally led to each woman expressing trauma. Your wife’s example wow and for her to trust in you to bring up that topic is beautiful to see
Please bring them back! Not only for our sake, but for theirs as well. It looks though they all need Ren and his ever growing community of honesty and empathy.
I lost my boy to cancer twenty years ago, when he was 3. The trauma is real and eternal. Like Ren said in Hi Ren, at some point you come to accept it's not something to beat, but something to dance with.
I think you're strong to be able to share your personal trauma. I have some real trauma as well but I've never lost a child; the worst loss of all. My heart goes out to you and I pray that you continue on your path with the same strength you've shown. You shine the light of hope in the tunnel of darkness that others may be going through.❤
I loved all three ladies and there energy and humour BP. Whenever it's possible please have them on asap! Additionally, bring your magnificent and beautiful wife back, it was very special and very touching to see you light up with her on and reacting to her real life and unexpected reaction to music we know is so special to you. The sincerity and unabashed respect I see in your face as you mouth the words along to hi ren in all your guest reaction videos fkn chokes me up and I freaking cry a little bit every freaking time! BUT I appreciate it though because I FEEL it too (and as in IT I mean ALL the damn feels from empathizing wi th ren and all the shit thats been thrown his way to how amazing he is and the unexplainable feelings of respect, humilty, admiration, enjoyment, the feelings of wanting to someway somehow help him carry some of his heavy burdens and the feelings of being grateful to be witness, be apart of , engage with awhole ass community that has formed from the ability to have been given strength from him and his freaking music to FEEL shit , be angry , happy, sad, frustrated, desperation, frisky, cocky, and never feeling alone and without someone in that community) I feel all the things that are left unsaid, when I mouth the words alongside with y'all and with ren. It's something to behold. So thank you. Holy shit sorry that comment is like a whole ass book lol.
That comment is also everything I feel as well! So thank you for finding the words I so often search for! I was ready it and shaking my head in affirmation of every word!❤
Awesome to see your wife and her lovely friends here. Very strong women and a very strong man all....to be so vulnerable and to share with all of us is incredibly brave. Xoxo!!! Be kind to yourselves
All you ladies are lovely. Definitely be nice to have you back. We definitely are sat here thinking, yeah feel those feels, its ok to cry, man or woman. Thats how the healing happens. The libne on this song that always kills me is 'I'm scared of feeling ok, coz all things change' so so so so very true. The more I hear the more I release, its cathartic. Su!cide breaks me but I never knew the trauma I held onto until I heard that song. And yeah we should definitely show our kids its ok to hurt, but how to deal with that hurt is the diffcult bit. If you are angry, punch a punch bag not a person, or yell into a ravine. If you are sad, be sad but go out into nature, hug a tree and feel its magic. If you want to comfort someone make sure to hug them for +20 seconds. Between 10 and 20 seconds you will feel them stiffen after the initial hug as they feel awkward, after 20 seconds they will relax and the healing can begin, no words are needed, just arms. ❤
Can anyone honestly say they did not cry or at least tear up when watching Hi Ren? I.m 74 and have never cried at my best friend of 40 years funeral, the death of my loved dog and Mother BUT after 19 viewings I still cry
I can honestly say that I did not cry or even tear up. I laughed through most of it because what he is singing about is the story of my own journey in many ways and the way he nails every aspect just strikes me as funny. Not haha funny but holy shit this is one of the most relatable experiences I've had with music.
Loved these girls! Such a good vibe! Do bring them back, please. And also, BP, your Mrs is something special, man! Loved her energy and how caring she is to her friends, and loved the interaction between the two of you. You are such a good match, brother! Beautiful! Thank you all for the reaction, and... BP... bro, you should've shown them Sam and Ren busking, the one "Earned it /Mans World / Falling", and leave Chinchilla for the next round. There will be a next round, right? Please?
As a mom, now 18 and 21, I struggled so much when they were little. Every thought every second was eaten up by them. I lost myself and all my energy. I have learned that the greatest thing that I could give my children was a healthy mom. And as far as pushing things down not wanting to upset them because we might be dealing with some thing is the wrong way to go about it. Of course we don’t show that really sad side of when they’re causing it, but seeing us sad or overwhelmed or in tears teaches them to be vulnerable and share their emotions as well and that emotions are a human experience that teach us things and can bring us closer together. It seems like you were all so dedicated to your motherhood and I wouldn’t worry so much. You do what you can every day. But I’ve also learned that sometimes I can ask my daughter for a hug, not always just giving her hugs, but saying “I had a really rough day and a hug from you would really make me feel so much better.” I love seeing you guys react!!! So relatable! ❤🫶🏻☀️🌻✌️😞
For most of my life my name was "Patnicktom"... Yeah, needless to say I'm the third and yeah... my Dad could never get it down right hahahah No hard feelings - I know it's just a brain-fart thing, happens to the best of us! Glad to have you with us ladies! BP doing great and I appreciate the entertainment while making supper :)
Bring wifey back for sure if not all three beautiful ladies. They need their own podcast.... the more women talk about our lives and the good the bad the ugly of being women the better! Love this reaction along with part 1. I cried for them since they were nervous... I let it go for them. Much love to BP and the realist house wives! ❤
It is so interesting that being able to share feelings over music allows us to connect on an emotional and human level. It is the greatest proof that it isn’t problem solving or tools that make us human but rather art, literature, music…. There is a reason they are called the humanities. Social media allowing us to socially share our humanity.
I'm glad you guys got right into the song ,Ren and Chinchilla just have a way of getting right into your soul with their vocal talent. Pure musical healing at its best. 🇬🇧👍🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵
I think the ability to be vulnerable and HAVING EMPATHY is a super power. Empathy is literally being able to put yourself in someone else's shoes, and even though the individual experiences might be different, the emotions and thoughts are the same. The more people start to try to LIVE empathy, the more we can all realize we're all the same. EVERYONE hurts. EVERYONE has felt alone at some point. EVERYONE has felt things that everyone else has gone through. The more people realize that, the closer we are to becoming more than "race" or "color" or whatever. We could become "The Human Race". One planet. One people.
Bring them back! The conversations that open up are amazing. Ren is doing something big here and I hope it grows and continues to make a difference in people's lives. BP, you are an instrument in the design of the Grand Plan of hope and healing. Keep doing what youre doing! ❤️👍🏼
Love these ladies, I think they’d lose it for How To Be Me. Lots of moms struggle in the transition from independent, carefree women to mothers with the life, safety and well-being of a new tiny little fragile human thrust upon us. It knocks even the strongest person confidence. It’s confusing and really difficult. So most of us can really relate to that one. We often lose ourselves in motherhood and forget who we are and how to be in this new totally life changing role we’ve taken on. It’s an emotional rollercoaster. But eventually we learn we’re still us, just different, if that makes sense.
I gotta say, I takes reaching adulthood to truly appreciate and understand just how superhuman Moms have had to be. Some make it, some don't. Some cope with "new habits"... and sometimes those habits take them over... I don't blame my mother for what she went through. Those were different times and she had to deal with it without access to internet and the general consciousness-raising access we have today. She raised three boys and did alright
Dads are just as super human to lol. I raised my 2 sons as a single father and I worked a full time job at the same time. I would wake up at 05:30 get my boys ready for school, walk them to their Nan's so I could be in work for 06 :30. I would run an average of between 6 to 8 miles and hand load around 2-2.5 ton of recycled waste into the bin wagon I ran because it was a job & knock job. Quicker I finished quicker I got home to do house work before picking my son's up from school.
@@ASUTASTUD- You remind me of the dad from Taken. You aren’t just parenting sounds like you are raising your kids like it is a vital mission. Which it is. Way to go father.
There is such beauty and strength that goes unsung in our daily struggles. To have the tapestry of our humanity plucked in notes and lyrics is to be seen, heard and acknowledged.
These moms need to here How to be Me with Ren x Chinchilla. Tale of Jenny and Screech will be so heavy so prepare them but, i loved how they reacted after you encouraged them to react because we cried our first time watching as well because we all relate. I have CPTSD and have lived with it for nearly 60 years because i didn't have a safe place to lay my head or food security until i was over 40
They were brilliant, you have a beautiful family/friend unit there. If I can say, it's totally fine to just let those emotions flow out, it's healing for us all and we connect on a deeper level with you all. Hugs to every one who needs and wants them.
I am a 42 year old man. I seen this video atleast 50 times and I still tear up because it hits home hard. And I am not ashamed to say so. I cry, deal with it. Lol. Loved the reaction. More from BP and the ladies please hehe
Love This, this is the part of Ren I love, his voice his playing guitar, he just shines the most when he has his Guitar, His Voice is awesome Vocal Percussions ,His Rap is Good, But this Part of Ren ,he blows it out of the park, 💯🎶💙
It is so amazing that you and your wife can talk about tough stuff together but that you can say it in front of the world just shows youve both been through together and you came out the other side together! And brother, the way you look at her is all I need to see to the quality of your character! You two are good folks for sure!
I love these women. Such relatable insights, especially as a parent and someone that has struggled with addiction in the family and my own mental studies. They are clever and lovely 😊
Please bring them back. They really look like they need some Ren in their lives to see that it’s okay to be open and vulnerable sometimes. We’re all human. But also maybe show them the fun side of Ren too after you break them with How To Be Me 😂 Discovering Ren’s art for the first time is a beautiful but sometimes very tough experience. He will make you cry, but he can also make us all laugh. We need both. Anyway I still can’t quite believe your wife hadn’t heard any Ren before these reactions 😮 How have you not played anything for her off cam at least for this long? I would have been too eager to share the music 😅
One of the defining moments of motherhood for me was when I was in a low spot with my bipolar. I wasn't being treated right, my marriage was shit, but in front of my kids, I plastered on a smile and did all the things a good mom should do. One day, I was laying on the couch, minding my own business, deep in my depression, and my son, three years old, comes over to me and says, "Mama, why you so sad?" Even now my heart breaks, and it's been 10 years since that happened. Ladies, you can try to hide it, but they will know. They're perceptive little shits. It's better to be open and emotionally engaged and to teach them it's okay to be sad, and that sometimes, our sad is so big we need a doctor's help.
This was wonderful, these women are super honest about what they know to be true without being harsh or crude or in your face. I love that. So many people think that being "real" means you have to be harsh, and that's not the case at all. This video was awesome, and yes you SHOULD facilitate that podcast. Subbed already 🥰🙃
I think as a man being stoic is not about never ever showing emotion and vulnerability. But it's about not letting whatever you feel dictate your actions. And always act with thoughtfulness and logic. A hard thing to do....
I think it’s amazing how each person relates to and interprets it in a different way. I understand it as an opioid addiction just switched to an benzo addiction to replace and wrap yourself in a bubble. It’s really interesting to hear people them all relating to something different . My favourite guests of yours I think
It'll be ok ladies, you're all beautiful and, as far as I can tell, intelligent women and life has a way of working itself out as long as you keep a positive mindset. That's not to say ignore the hard times because they are a part of life, but it's good to keep an eye on the silver linings that come with the hard times.
Love the ladies reaction, they need to hear Humble, Fire, Love music (all), Dominos, Freckled Angel, Ocean, Crutch, Trick the Fox - Lost Boys, Power, Losing It, Big Push - Sweet Little Lady, the Tales of Jenny, Screech, and Violet...
i’ve just join your channel love your opinion. sorry about the trauma your wife and you been through. that is what makes Ren so relatable. suffered from PTSD borderline personality disorder ADHD. for 40 years now 60 years old. he is an amazing artist. from Wales lives in Brighton which is just down the road from me. Love your channel keep it going lots of love England 🙏🏾🏴🇬🇧
I loved their surprise. They thought you were gonna show them some misogynist insinuating everyday normal songs and were so surprised with the new open and honest you. Also loved how completely protective they were of each other. I mean I think your wife may have knocked you off your chair to hit pause if she would have seen her friends getting overwhelmed. Bradly's (?) balance of checking on Kelsey and reassuring your wife that it was ok was perfection. And for Kelsey to deal with not only her fears and issues that she must be going thru, but being on camera and having to keep reassuring that it was ok to deal with this, was so commendable. It is always our friends reaction to stress on us to protect, and Kelsey was supported and strong, being such an example to others that it's ok to feel, it's ok to be "triggered" and then to even appreciate it enough to say that she will be adding it to her regular listening is brilliant. In this day and age not only is it sometimes assumed men do not feel and are strong, women are to not bring up emotional topics, never complain, and handle everything. By removing anything that would trigger us we don't allow ourselves to process and heal. I hope they all continue to listen and use the familiarity of the pain to get a sense that they are not alone in their struggles and as a way to help understand their feelings, sit with them, and process them because that is the only way to get past them. Oh, and next time maybe say "And would you feel comfortable sharing why?" Your poor wife caught in the headlights when you were just like, "na, it's ok, we're open books now." Baby steps tho, you did great in navigating what was a walking on eggshells couple of moments.
Your wife seems like a truly amazing person. From how strong she seems, from how much we know she's been through as a mother to the care she shows to her friends, constantly checking to see if they're ok during this emotional reaction. I'm sure she's an amazing mom, a super supportive friend and a rock of a partner.
"Losing babies." 😞 This reaction has probably been one of the better examples of how Ren's music reaches people. Loved having these three on, their experiences as mothers and friends have been a good watch.
After listening to this song 100 or so times it just hit me about the line "walk around in the floating chalk outlines". This verse comes after "wash it down and you'll be fine" which means taking a pill, more often than not an antidepressant/SSRI. Chalk Outlines are most frequently associated with being the outline of a dead body, so what I believe he is saying is that the pills essentially make your feelings/emotions, or even ones self dead inside, hence you're walking around in these chalk outlines.
Yes your exactly right,the meds they give you numb you to the point your emotionally dead inside but just a shell of a person on the outside.its strange to explain as your there but also your not
Yep, it's about that feeling you get from taking those medications that leave you feeling hollow, like a ghost. It's also a play on the fact that most pills are primarily made of chalk, with the drug as the additive. Chalk is inert, chemically inactive, so it's used as the medium to deliver the dose of the compound. And, of course, chalk outlines are traditionally associated with a crime scene (even though that's more of a cinematic thing from the 1950s) That's the beauty of what Ren does though, there are three angles to view the use of chalk in these lyrics, which is what really makes him a poet and not "just" an excellent song writer and lyricist.
That hit me too. "The feeling goes and you draw a chalk outline." As in killing the feeling. But then, "erase ourselves in these chalk outlines." Our eventual disappearance into the absence of feeling ..
Hello mate, have been keeping up with your reactions for a while, top draw stuff my friend, great seeing you introducing people to all the music you listen too. It would be really nice to see how you would review Paolo Nutini singing Iron Sky, he’s a Scottish singer and I think he is very under appreciated. Listening/watching from the UK 👍
Definitely bring the girls back - its been nice having the feminine energy brought to the table. And you're absolutely right BP that Ren has quite literally opened a Portal others find themselves Relieved to step through into a Safe space to be authentic, be vulnerable, speak about the things we normally bury through shame and to not only find the world Doesn’t swallow us or ridicule us but instead Validates and supports us, for some people for the first time in their lives. He's a Warrior of Light shining his Light on our Darkness and helping show us a way out of the Darkness through unity, connection and compassion for others - And Ourselves ✨️ I would really like to see them react to Violet's Tale!
ren is about love. Accepting what is. owning it. and forgiving it. we are all fucked up. we all have light and dark. dude just says "you are ok". how powerful is that? you are ok.
You have got to get them to react to Chinchillas song Little Girl Gone!! I know you said it, but its a MUST!! That song is so empowering for women who have ever been made to feel small, weak, or beaten in any way.

You learn to dance with a limp.

I’m so sorry for your loss. 😥.

They really are the realist people. Loved them. Please all come back on 😊❤❤❤❤
One of my favourite reactions ever BP . The girls bring a venerability and honesty that men can’t always reach .
Please bring them back soon
Lovely ladies ❤ - you’re emotions are beautiful and demonstrate your ability to love. Thanks for opening up to us.

Thank you all for the reaction, and... BP... bro, you should've shown them Sam and Ren busking, the one "Earned it /Mans World / Falling", and leave Chinchilla for the next round.
There will be a next round, right? Please?
Absolutely show them Man's World. Every female in the busking audience was enthralled when that sound came from Ren's mouth.

Now THAT was a therapy session you never saw coming.. way cool !! These three ladies are great guests.
My Anxiety is a result of no more room to push things down in. Let out the raw emotions, even if it's just into a pillow. Awesome reaction!
Definitely bring them back. I love hearing people have conversations about the content Ren puts out.
Thanks BP, 💯 he hits us all and we are all in this together. It’s great to get a Ladies perspective. You should definitely bring them back. ❤👍👍
There is such beauty and strength that goes unsung in our daily struggles. To have the tapestry of our humanity plucked in notes and lyrics is to be seen, heard and acknowledged.
Yes please bring them back asap
Bring them back
I can only praise that woman for being so honest with her answer. Most people in that situation would never be so open. Pain shared is pain halved.
It's hard to imagine that what the reactors say would make a bigger impact that what Ren's song does ... but you managed to do that ..love you guys!
These moms need to here How to be Me with Ren x Chinchilla. Tale of Jenny and Screech will be so heavy so prepare them but, i loved how they reacted after you encouraged them to react because we cried our first time watching as well because we all relate. I have CPTSD and have lived with it for nearly 60 years because i didn't have a safe place to lay my head or food security until i was over 40
BP
Man, this was mind blowing, your wife and your wife’s friends …. So so beautiful so so real man… respect to you all
Shopping is therapy!
Bring them back
🤓🇸🇪
Awesome Part 2 with the Ladies
Please bring these ladies back, they are wonderful ❤
Yes...bring them back ! And bring your daughter on again ! She's adorable!
They were brilliant, you have a beautiful family/friend unit there. If I can say, it's totally fine to just let those emotions flow out, it's healing for us all and we connect on a deeper level with you all. Hugs to every one who needs and wants them.
I loved every moment of these reactions. Hopefully they come back! This was wholesome and very entertaining. I’m so glad they got to watch Ren!
I am a 42 year old man. I seen this video atleast 50 times and I still tear up because it hits home hard. And I am not ashamed to say so. I cry, deal with it. Lol. Loved the reaction. More from BP and the ladies please hehe
Love This, this is the part of Ren I love, his voice his playing guitar, he just shines the most when he has his Guitar, His Voice is awesome Vocal Percussions ,His Rap is Good, But this Part of Ren ,he blows it out of the park, 💯🎶💙
It is so amazing that you and your wife can talk about tough stuff together but that you can say it in front of the world just shows youve both been through together and you came out the other side together! And brother, the way you look at her is all I need to see to the quality of your character! You two are good folks for sure!
Everyone comes across way more comfortable in this one...genuine, not suppressed emotions..great stuff
Definitely bring these ladies back
I love these women. Such relatable insights, especially as a parent and someone that has struggled with addiction in the family and my own mental studies. They are clever and lovely 😊
Best guests you've ever had! These ladies really deserve a moment for themselves.
The line that always hits me is "I'm scared of being ok, because all things change," it really resonates with me.
Please bring them back. They really look like they need some Ren in their lives to see that it’s okay to be open and vulnerable sometimes. We’re all human. But also maybe show them the fun side of Ren too after you break them with How To Be Me 😂 Discovering Ren’s art for the first time is a beautiful but sometimes very tough experience. He will make you cry, but he can also make us all laugh. We need both.
Anyway I still can’t quite believe your wife hadn’t heard any Ren before these reactions 😮 How have you not played anything for her off cam at least for this long? I would have been too eager to share the music 😅
lmao, no isht, when i heard him say that, my first thought was, "Bro, do you even love her?!"
I love how they each look over at each other...are you crying? I'm not crying are you? I feel like you should be crying....
One of the defining moments of motherhood for me was when I was in a low spot with my bipolar. I wasn't being treated right, my marriage was shit, but in front of my kids, I plastered on a smile and did all the things a good mom should do. One day, I was laying on the couch, minding my own business, deep in my depression, and my son, three years old, comes over to me and says, "Mama, why you so sad?" Even now my heart breaks, and it's been 10 years since that happened.
Ladies, you can try to hide it, but they will know. They're perceptive little shits. It's better to be open and emotionally engaged and to teach them it's okay to be sad, and that sometimes, our sad is so big we need a doctor's help.
This was wonderful, these women are super honest about what they know to be true without being harsh or crude or in your face. I love that. So many people think that being "real" means you have to be harsh, and that's not the case at all. This video was awesome, and yes you SHOULD facilitate that podcast. Subbed already 🥰🙃
I think as a man being stoic is not about never ever showing emotion and vulnerability. But it's about not letting whatever you feel dictate your actions. And always act with thoughtfulness and logic.
A hard thing to do....
I think it’s amazing how each person relates to and interprets it in a different way. I understand it as an opioid addiction just switched to an benzo addiction to replace and wrap yourself in a bubble. It’s really interesting to hear people them all relating to something different . My favourite guests of yours I think
I still cry when I hear this one, and when I hear "Hi Ren", and anything for Joe.
Would love to have them back for Freckled angels, How to be me, Suicide and For Joe.
Just remember to stock up on tissues.
Keep up the good work!
It'll be ok ladies, you're all beautiful and, as far as I can tell, intelligent women and life has a way of working itself out as long as you keep a positive mindset. That's not to say ignore the hard times because they are a part of life, but it's good to keep an eye on the silver linings that come with the hard times.
Please bring them back and do chinchilla little girl gone, show them some girl power love as always
Love the ladies reaction, they need to hear Humble, Fire, Love music (all), Dominos, Freckled Angel, Ocean, Crutch, Trick the Fox - Lost Boys, Power, Losing It, Big Push - Sweet Little Lady, the Tales of Jenny, Screech, and Violet...
Now they HAVE TO see Fingers!!!
Bring them back please ;-)
Lovely reaction from you & the girls. They’re all lovely and they deserve a little Ren.
Good choice. Kids need to know that being sad is ok too. You can demonstrate it in healthy ways. How it too can pass. These ladies need Fingers live.
i’ve just join your channel love your opinion. sorry about the trauma your wife and you been through. that is what makes Ren so relatable. suffered from PTSD borderline personality disorder ADHD. for 40 years now 60 years old. he is an amazing artist. from Wales lives in Brighton which is just down the road from me. Love your channel keep it going lots of love England 🙏🏾🏴🇬🇧
Names be damned not literally , but all the girls are gifts of life.
I love the spirit of women 🤍. Thank you ladies for being real
I loved their surprise. They thought you were gonna show them some misogynist insinuating everyday normal songs and were so surprised with the new open and honest you.
Also loved how completely protective they were of each other. I mean I think your wife may have knocked you off your chair to hit pause if she would have seen her friends getting overwhelmed.
Bradly's (?) balance of checking on Kelsey and reassuring your wife that it was ok was perfection.
And for Kelsey to deal with not only her fears and issues that she must be going thru, but being on camera and having to keep reassuring that it was ok to deal with this, was so commendable. It is always our friends reaction to stress on us to protect, and Kelsey was supported and strong, being such an example to others that it's ok to feel, it's ok to be "triggered" and then to even appreciate it enough to say that she will be adding it to her regular listening is brilliant.
In this day and age not only is it sometimes assumed men do not feel and are strong, women are to not bring up emotional topics, never complain, and handle everything. By removing anything that would trigger us we don't allow ourselves to process and heal. I hope they all continue to listen and use the familiarity of the pain to get a sense that they are not alone in their struggles and as a way to help understand their feelings, sit with them, and process them because that is the only way to get past them.
Oh, and next time maybe say "And would you feel comfortable sharing why?" Your poor wife caught in the headlights when you were just like, "na, it's ok, we're open books now."
Baby steps tho, you did great in navigating what was a walking on eggshells couple of moments.
Your wife seems like a truly amazing person. From how strong she seems, from how much we know she's been through as a mother to the care she shows to her friends, constantly checking to see if they're ok during this emotional reaction. I'm sure she's an amazing mom, a super supportive friend and a rock of a partner.
Excellent reaction! Make them come back .
"Losing babies." 😞 This reaction has probably been one of the better examples of how Ren's music reaches people. Loved having these three on, their experiences as mothers and friends have been a good watch.
Yes, bring these ladies back! Love them and the perspectives they provide!
After listening to this song 100 or so times it just hit me about the line "walk around in the floating chalk outlines". This verse comes after "wash it down and you'll be fine" which means taking a pill, more often than not an antidepressant/SSRI. Chalk Outlines are most frequently associated with being the outline of a dead body, so what I believe he is saying is that the pills essentially make your feelings/emotions, or even ones self dead inside, hence you're walking around in these chalk outlines.
Yes your exactly right,the meds they give you numb you to the point your emotionally dead inside but just a shell of a person on the outside.its strange to explain as your there but also your not
Yep, it's about that feeling you get from taking those medications that leave you feeling hollow, like a ghost. It's also a play on the fact that most pills are primarily made of chalk, with the drug as the additive. Chalk is inert, chemically inactive, so it's used as the medium to deliver the dose of the compound. And, of course, chalk outlines are traditionally associated with a crime scene (even though that's more of a cinematic thing from the 1950s)
That's the beauty of what Ren does though, there are three angles to view the use of chalk in these lyrics, which is what really makes him a poet and not "just" an excellent song writer and lyricist.
That hit me too. "The feeling goes and you draw a chalk outline." As in killing the feeling. But then, "erase ourselves in these chalk outlines." Our eventual disappearance into the absence of feeling ..
Hello mate, have been keeping up with your reactions for a while, top draw stuff my friend, great seeing you introducing people to all the music you listen too. It would be really nice to see how you would review Paolo Nutini singing Iron Sky, he’s a Scottish singer and I think he is very under appreciated. Listening/watching from the UK 👍
bring them back !:)
big love from ren army xthanks for spreading the love
Thank you for sharing your truth . Crying with you girls xxx
Definitely bring the girls back - its been nice having the feminine energy brought to the table. And you're absolutely right BP that Ren has quite literally opened a Portal others find themselves Relieved to step through into a Safe space to be authentic, be vulnerable, speak about the things we normally bury through shame and to not only find the world Doesn’t swallow us or ridicule us but instead Validates and supports us, for some people for the first time in their lives. He's a Warrior of Light shining his Light on our Darkness and helping show us a way out of the Darkness through unity, connection and compassion for others - And Ourselves ✨️
I would really like to see them react to Violet's Tale!
love these ladies and love to see your interactions with your wife ❤ please bring em back!
I was waiting for this wondering where the Bonded Trauma Mama's went to ever since Hi Ren! Love you ladies! 💝 Love yalls openess and honesty.
ren is about love. Accepting what is. owning it. and forgiving it. we are all fucked up. we all have light and dark. dude just says "you are ok". how powerful is that? you are ok.
Great reaction. Glad to see Pt 2. You should have ended with Little Girl Gone for them to give them the balance back into the strong women vibe.
My child may grind me to dust but that smile on their face is all I can ask for in life.
The natural real reactions is why people comeback. Keep up the great videos
love these reactions with the ladys ..also love your humour as shown here and loved your parody song :)
Awesome as always, please come back, fantastic reactions, love the honesty 🐊❤️🙏👍🦉
Ok, these girls bring back my belief in American Women hood. Great reaction , love to all of you .B.P. take those girls shopping .
Bring them back of course.
That's the way you deal with it, sit and feel it, express the emotions and let it go.
I believe that his choice for some locations are simply acoustic quality it’s beautiful echoing down the hall💗
Beautiful reaction. I think they need Ren. Bring them back and/ or your wife!❤
You and the ladies and your good lady are magnificent at this!!
This was a great reaction. The ladies opening up snd habing discussions. That is what its all about!! 🔥 as always
Bring them back they are great
You have got to get them to react to Chinchillas song Little Girl Gone!! I know you said it, but its a MUST!! That song is so empowering for women who have ever been made to feel small, weak, or beaten in any way.
I could have sworn you guys had a channel together ❤
Great lyrics and it has a great hook. Ren is so talented.
please please bring them back more Ren ❤❤❤
My heart goes out to you, losing children is hardest thing to bear...
