"You're not getting rid of the pain, you're only moving it to other people," AMEN!! My brother took his own life & I spent my 18th birthday burying his body, so, now, I don't just miss my big brother, who was also 1 of my best friends, I also hate the date of my birth!! It's devastating!! 😢
I am so sorry to hear about your terrible loss. Sending you lots of strength and love.
The short bit at the end is for his best friend Joe, who took his own life when they were just 19 years old.
Thanks for sharing, Jason.
Really the whole song is, the song is about regrets and not knowing how to be himself without Joe in his life.
The songs "Freckled Angels", "How To Be Me", "Suicide" and "For Joe" all reference Ren's best buddy from childhood, Joe.
Ahh, I can rely on you. Every evening I can watch your latest reaction(s). Great. ☺
Yea, right. Those four songs are for/about Joe. At least with 'Su!cIde' and 'For Joe' it makes sense to do them in that order. They all are heavy stuff so take care for yourself ❤. For 'Freckled Angels' you should do the 'Live Performance'.
Will get to all of those at some point. Thank you for watching.
The day i lost my youngest daughter Aleisha 17 suddenly in her sleep, i also lost me, i too forgot who i was before, my life could never be the same.This song expresses the pain.
I can not begin to imagine such a terrible loss. Sending you so much strength and love. ❤️
RIP JOE HUGHES ❤ Thank you for reacting ❤
Thank you for watching.
Was waiting for you to react to that - it's one of my absolute favourites. Loved the reaction! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It introduces you to another theme in Ren's music - the loss of a beloved friend (Joe) when Ren was about 20. I didn't realize you hadn't heard about that one yet.
Now i am a little more familiar with Joe's story. A tragic and terrible loss for Ren and all Joe's loved ones.
You should watch "For Joe" as this song is also about his friend. It's a beautiful tribute to his friend.
Will do.
Oh yess, I saw a glimpse of this savage cool party guy in your "loosing it" reaction and in my opinion having this persona as part of your history fits you very well and makes you vivid. Especially with all the experiences you've had to pay the price for that and overcome it. It's that unique mixture of boldness and wisdom that makes a person really interesting and worth listening to! Your reactions are really special and a joy to watch!
Wow, humbled by this comment and grateful. It has definitely been a journey of self discovery and little improvements that added up over time. Looking back now, its like a different life. Have a wonderful day.
@@SaeedReacts.🤩
The last bit was about his best friend Joe Hughes who sadly took his own life at age 19, jumping off the Menai Bridge around 3.00 a.m on 28th December 2010. Ren wrote the song Freckled Angels about him and dedicated the album of the same name in his memory. More recently he has also released For Joe (which features the final part of the song Suic!de which references Joe)
A terrible loss. Hope to get to those songs eventually. I know I need to be in a good headspace for that.
well, I guess in service of context, "For Joe" is next (beautiful reaction by the way, your sensibility has been refreshing, thank you for that!)
Will definitely get to that song. Want to learn more about Joe's story. I just know i need to be in a good headspace for it. Have a wonderful day.
You've become an intricate part of my day.... you & Ren! ❤
I've always tried to be a "glass half full" thinker, but sometimes that glass is half full of tears.
His music has helped me so much, and reactors like yourself that GET IT! This one hits hard, as i was introduced to it when i felt SUCH heaviness in my heart (nothing was pulling me through) i feel every word....
I think you've more than earned another happier Ren song! Give your mind & heart a little rest!
I see the Chinchilla requests flying. She is amazing! My favorite is the official video for Little Girl Gone!!🔥 it gives heavy Natural Born Killers vibes for me, lol
Yeah, i like that dark stuff, apparently. 😂
You take good care of yourself & see you on the next one!❤✌️
Thank you so much for spending time with me. I truly appreciate it. Little gone girl sounds great!
@SaeedReacts. it's insane, I think you'll like it 😉
Thanks for writing back, have a great day!❤️
This is an excerpt of a post Ren wrote about Joe 8 months ago in his UA-cam Community page: "On Christmas Eve 2010 I was sitting in a pub with Joe, he’d been feeling low after a couple of consecutive break ups. He tried to check himself into a mental health outpatient facility a few weeks earlier but they turned him away because he didn’t have an appointment. He turned to me and said that sometimes he wished he could just walk into the sea and keep walking. He said it in a kind of half joking throw away comment type of way, then took a sip of his drink, walked over to the juke box and put Dig by Incubus on. If I knew that was the last time I’d see Joe id have hugged him, told him how much I loved him, how much I looked up to him, how much we all loved him, and I wouldn’t have left that pub. I didn’t know that, so I finished my drink, said happy Christmas and left.
Two nights after Christmas I got woken up by a phone call at 3am, it was my friend Ella. She told me Joe was on the Menai Bridge, a large suspension bridge connecting the main land to the isle of Anglesey where we lived. He’d been on the phone to her in tears saying goodbye. He told her to tell everyone he loved them. I pulled on my clothes as fast as I could and started running toward the bridge. It was up a hill. I lived about a ten minute walk away, I could run it in five. As I ran I started dialling then redialing his number. The line was busy, which was a good sign, it meant he was still on the phone to someone. As I got about halfway, the busy tone changed. It told me the line was out of service. I got a sinking feeling and picked up my speed. I arrived to the bridge minutes after I left my house. It was deafeningly quiet. I was the first person to arrive. I got there probably about 2 minutes too late.
Joe’s body was never found.
Initially we refused to believe he was gone. The coastguard came out that night, with boats, and helicopters. Me and my friends spent the next 10 days putting up missing posters everywhere we could, walking up and down beaches with flashlights, getting about 3 hours sleep a night. When you’re walking up and down a beach with a torch when its dark everything looks like a body. We still haven’t found Joe.
As his birthday came around, I wrote a song, freckled angels, a song I dedicated to Joe which I sang in front of his friends and family. A charity football match was put on for him, raising money for the RNLI where I won two bottles of wine in a raffle, I drank them both as quickly as I could, naturally, turned to my friend and probably slurred something along the lines of “This is the last time I ever drink” That was 12 years ago, I haven’t touched a drop of alcohol since.
My first ever album I named Freckled Angels in tribute of one of the best people I ever knew."
Heartbreaking. Thanks for sharing.
Goosebumps still happen no matter how many times I watch this.
So good.
Same
As already mentioned, he is referring to his best friend Joe in that last verse. When you get round to “For Joe” may I suggest you read what Ren wrote in the song description before listening to it. It really does give you context for the song.
I think anyone who has battled in life, no matter how small or large that battle may have been, they relate to Ren on a deep level. I can see you truly feel what he sings, that’s why I enjoy your reactions 🫶
Thank you for letting me know about this. Will keep that in mind.
Saeed, beautiful reaction ❤
Thank you ❤️
Yes Ren was talking about his best friend Joe Hughes who committed su!cide that's the track you can only play when the sun is shining and after that the follow up is for Joe....not a request by the way just a little bit of information about these songs.
Thank you again for caring 😊 I'm so looking forward for your reaction to the love music quad triplet series and of course Money game,see you on the next adventure ✌️
Thanks for the information! Excited for all of those. I am hoping to get to the money game trilogy by this weekend.
You have quickly become one of my favorite reactors. Your passion is beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much! You just put a smile on my face 😀❤️
I love this one. It resonates with everyone since we have all forgotten how to be ourselves at one point or another 💜💜💜
Resonates with me on so many levels. And as you said with so many others. We are not alone ❤️
Some things can change us so drastically that we lose part of ourselves and forget how to be that person we used to be. For Ren, one of those moments was losing his best friend to suicide 😢
Make sure to do the other songs related to the topic in this order: Freckled Angels - Suicide - For Joe.
That is devestating. I know this first hand. Thank you for letting me know about the order of these songs.
@@SaeedReacts. I’m sorry you can relate. Definitely don’t binge the songs then cause it’s probably going to be tough just getting through one at a time. Maybe break them up with the Love Music series. Like putting plasters on the wounds before ripping it off again 😅
This one above all the beauty’s from Ren (and stunning Chinchilla) is my Achilles heel 🥺😔 Lovely reaction again Saeed ❤
Great piece of art. Thank you.
@@SaeedReacts. 🥰
Chinchillas song fingers live version is amazing hope you get a chance to react to it ❤❤
I will definitely get to that one as well.
Yes! This is my favorite performance of hers
Ren is talking about his mate Joe Hughes who unalived himself as I understand it.
A terrible loss. I am all too familiar with. Thanks for sharing.
Review for joe live geez ...subbed by one of rens biggest fans
I will definitely get to that song.
Thank you for reacting to these very emotional songs and putting a lot of your own story in there and how you connect with the music. Loved this ❤
Have a beautiful day!
Thank you, Martin. Truly grateful for your support. Hoping to get to the Money Game songs by this weekend.
@@SaeedReacts. Hi Saeed, I hope all is good and the laptop is working fine. The videos look great now really!
The Money Game triology would be a treat for the weekend. Don't you spoil us 😅 Just kidding, you'll enjoy it, I'm pretty sure and we love to follow the journey with you!
Have a great day!
He's talking about his best friend Joe. I'm surprised you haven't heard about Joe yet. Ren has several songs that are either partly, or entirely, about Joe. "For Joe" being the most obvious but also "Suicide", "Freckled Angels" and this one, of course. There are also sideways references in several songs. All of the 'Joe' songs are heartachingly beautiful! If you do decide to listen to any of them, I'd suggest leaving "For Joe" for last. You'll see why, when you play it. :)
Now some people did tell me about Joe. Someone told me to do Freckled Angels, Suicide and then For Joe. That should be the right order?
Excellent reaction to a great song. Also, congrats on the 2½!
Thank you so much!
Really enjoyed your reactions!
Thanks, Jason!
Ren lost his friend that he had since childhood. Ren forgot how to be himself without his friend. That's how I take it.
Loved ones are part of us. When they leave us, we are forever changed.
Yes, Su!c*de will expand on this. Highly recommend. Also watch For Joe, which he performs live in front of Joe's parents (I think). Crutch is another excellent Ren duet track that deals with his illness.
For non-sad Ren stuff The Hunger, Murderer, Animal Flow.
... and "humble", "Down to the Beat", "Loco", ... ;)
Will definitely check those out. Reaction to Crutch is on my channel now.
As others have said, the ending references Joe, his friend. It is a truly beautiful song. As you said, we love REN as he is so relatable as well as being a complete genius. ❤
Beautiful song and he really is a once in a generation artist.
Powerful song! So many can relate to that feeling of forgetting how to be themselves, who they are. Really enjoyed your reaction. Thanks for sharing how you connect with the song.
So powerful ! Thank you for watching.
I really like your Ren reactions . The songs really make you the feel. I’m sorry you have been through so much .
Have you watched power? For Joe also tugs hard ❤
Thank you so much. I appreciate the support. I will also listen to those songs at some point.
This is such a beautiful song, thank you for sharing your reactions to it. RIP Joe
Truly beautiful.
Doesn't matter how many times I listen to this I always get chills ❤
So good.
RIP Joe Hughes
R.I.P. Joe 😞
There really is no good order to watch all these masterpieces. Maybe For Joe or Su!cide would have given you some insight but it doesn't really matter. Now you probably wannna get into that anyway. To me, this one is all about the delivery and chemistry
Will definitely get to those songs as well. So many to look forward to.
Great reaction
Thanks!
Great reaction, as usually. We can see the words come easy to you, the right ones. ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️ Have a wonderful day.
Beautiful reaction to an amazing song 💜💜💜
Thank you so much!
Beautiful reaction thank you so much. Got a sub from me. RIP Joe!
Thank you so much ❤️
Great song. RIP Joe Hughes.
Really amazing song.
Now he’s in your head and your soul. And you’re hooked just like the rest of us. Real art can hurt but it’s still good for you.
Totally hooked!
❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
geezus....your breakdowns KILL ME. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Apologies! Dont want to hurt anyone
If you watch "For Joe" you will get context for the entire song, but also specifically that final part of the song.
Will definitely get to For Joe as well. Thanks!
Loving your channel bro!
Thanks, Adam! Appreciate you!
@SaeedReacts. just a quick request: it's out of the blue but I GUARANTEE you and your fans on your channel will love it! "HYPA HYPA" by Electric Callboy! You're from Belgium, just remembered that so you might if heard them already but if not! I pray 🙏 you react to that song! ❤️
R.I.P Joe Hedges 🙏
Context: That's THE bridge in the background. RIP Joe.
Heartbreaking! RIP Joe.
I love this live version
Beautiful!
Thanks for doing this. i thought you would like it. good for you man for finding sobriety. its a take one day at a time thing.
My pleasure. Thanks so much. It truly is! Appreciate you, brother!
i miss the old me tbh. keep smiling folks
I feel that. Take care!
sending lots of love, i hope you are doing ok, i appreciate how open and vulnerable you are but please look after yourself ❤🤗
Thank you for checking in! I am doing good! Have a wonderful day.
His best friend Joe jumped off the Menai bridge in Wales, he called Ren as he was on the bridge Ren was talking to him whilst running to the bridge, before it cut off, but he got there too late.
Sorry , but its not true, Joe didnt call Ren from the bridge.
Ren got a call from a friend who told him, Joe has been on the bridge. And Ren immediately sprinted off to the bridge, but he hasnt been on time...😢
Saeed, if you wanna know the hole story about Joe, listen to "ForJoe"
Its a really touching song❤
Joe called a mutual friend and that friend told Ren what’s up. Ren ran to the bridge trying to call and was getting a busy signal so thought he was still talking on the phone. Eventually no busy signal and phone went to out of order or something? Maybe I shouldn’t be correcting as I’m not remembering what message Ren got but when he got to the bridge Joe was already gone. I’ll try to pull up the story and put it in the comments. Edit: I’m going to reach out to FB Rens Rabbit Hole fan page to get the story. I can’t seem to find it.
@@magdalenakotyrba4151f you want the full story listen to freckled angels then how to be me sy1cide and for joe they all connect
@@carlahelin5203 you are on point, from watching Ren telling that story to Knox, and writing about it, you have to right story 👍 🙂
to complete the story, the water police searched for the body and never found it. That's pretty hard. I want to know, he is not spooking around and had his place resting. Hard for the head.
Please react to Chinchilla "Cut you off"
I will add that one to my list. Many Thanks.
❤❤❤Great Reaction❤❤❤
Thank you, Caitlin!
It was about his best friend joe who killed himself freckled angels one of his older songs su1c1de and for joe all connect, hes got some fun songs if you havnt already reacted , wat you want is fun, he does a retake of bitter sweet symphony thats fun, fatboy slim retake another, just breaks up the deep ones lol
Thank you for sharing this and also for the recommendations. Will check those out.
@@SaeedReacts. no problem love your reactions 👍
For Joe x
Will get to that song as well ❤️
Joe Hughs RIP. But it did keep Ren from kìlling himself in his darkest illness years. Wishing instead his illness would kill him.
Really enjoyed your reaction, though this one gets me every time.😢
Thank you. This one definitely hits hard.
The Su!cide them is in 4 song, as many other explain, The song Su!cide by itself is in 2 part, one Ren's talking about how he look at it, taught about it, the second part is about how he felt after his friend did it. ''For Joe'' take the second part of Su!cide and follow more in depth how he felt, how Joe influence him on a way. For me the song For Joe a gemme, going true the full cycle of greif, it's a master piece. Take care of you my friend ❤🩹
Thank you for sharing this. I hope to get to these songs eventually. I am working my way up to them.
❤
❤️
you should do Ren and Sam Tompkins Earned it /mans world/falling also you should do Sam Tompkins Lose it all live hero and phones in heaven
Will add it to my list. Many thanks.
This was performed on the same bridge where his best friend Joe commited suicide .
Oh wow, thanks for sharing that.
Its about his best freind joe who commited suicide watch for joe live much love bro from 🇬🇧
Thanks for sharing. Will watch that one at some point. Love from Belgium
Rip Joe his brother from another mother
Add Freckled angels , and Suicide to your list
Consider it done!
This song is so beautifully sad
💯
Wow, you animal.
You don't look in for a moment and umpteen new videos ^^
I wrote that I wanted to draw your attention to another rabbithole, namely "Harry Mack Omegle", the freestyle god.
Episode 1 is very very good, 45 and 52 incredible. No hurry, you have enough projects, but I haven't found it on your site yet and I'm sure you'll love it.
Edit: Triggerwarning for the song "For Joe" by Ren. See it on a sunny beautyful day, just like Suicide.
And you don't watch "Oogie Boogie Song" by Voiceplay yet, maybe i'm wrong. Great "Nightmare before christmas" theme.
I trust the other Renegades will tell you about Joe. 4 o'clock, i had to sleep (holyday, but ...)
Thanks for watching and taking the time to write this. I do want to get to Harry Mack as well. I have seen a handful of videos of him few years ago, but need to explore more. Have a wonderful day.

Hey. Just remember while you are reacting to all of these very deep and poignant songs by Ren to please take care of yourself!
Thank you for checking in. Will do! ❤️
You need to do his songs...suicide and for Joe!
Will definitely do these songs at some point.
Mmmmm....ja tack!
These two are so good together.
@@SaeedReacts. Så bra att det nästan är overkligt 🤗
❤💋🐷
❤️
I'm always moved by how they lead into "I can't breathe" with a mmmm that sounds like theyre struggling for air.
Yes! That was beautiful.
