My little brother took his own life in 2020, and when this was released I was nervous to watch it, but I was glad I did. I think it's BRILLIANT how Ren shows both sides, how they were feeling as well as the pain of those left behind. We can't fix what we don't discuss, and Ren has a great way of bringing up the hard subjects in a way that are more manageable to understand.
I think Ren has a remarkable ability to somehow capture the emotions of all sides involved in a situation like this.. He obviously has lived through this and also understands things from his friends perspective as well.. but his wording.. the emotions put into the words just for me it has a healing power. Rens music often stimulates necessary conversations and in doing so helps us all understand the importance articulating our feelings. Often the process of talking it through has a heeling power all its own. Powerful song. Loved this reaction.. loved your insight especially coming from your background.
Thanks for continuing to react to Ren. I love how he tackles subjects other Artists steer clear of. There are 2 other songs of his 'For Joe' & 'Freckled Angels' all linked.
Wonderful reaction and comments. This is the type of music that NEEDS to be heard…because it is real, it is relatable, it is raw and it is what many people are experiencing, living (or reliving) and dealing with.
This was wonderful. Thank you for your candor & insight. You bring a perspective that is both informative and still very human. There are a million other Ren songs I know you'll cover amazingly, but your discussion of survivors' feelings reminded me of Ren's song "Crutch", which is about how being the healthy "strong" person supporting someone who is addicted or depressed or chronically ill can break you. I think you'll get a lot from it.
Would you consider reacting to One Bedroom Apartment ny Clann Zu? It's a hauntingly raw song, and the intensely vulnerable lyrics evoke a sense of isolation and despair unlike any song I've heard before. I've seen many people listen to it and say that they hope they never feel half the pain that the song evokes. Would love to hear your thoughts. Cheers!
Unfortunately this didn’t come up on my radar, I did respond to Hi Ren but have only just had your response. I very rarely sub to a new reactor until I have had chance to listen to a few of their reactions, some work like (throwing mud at the wall hoping some will stick), it’s not very impressive that way. I’m very happy to say you obviously are not part of that group! Your reaction was thoughtful and concise, and definitely meaningful. I enjoyed your reaction to this the same as to Hi Ren, I guess you were a bit overwhelmed by the response to your first reaction, for a new channel that’s unusual - well done for that!
Then there's sick boi. Also his group "The Big Push." So, we've been given Freddie Mercury, Prince, Led Zeppelin, Dio, Pantera, Behtoveen, Bach, etc. Now we have to add Ren to that category. It's emotion we all feel, but was never talked about. Honestly, "Power" by Ren is one of my favorite he's done. Genius at work.
This seems to be a new page, starting with reacting to Ren. I'm 41 and have dealt with a lot of, let's call them individually specific situations. We all know life isn't perfect. Ten has opened my understanding of the things I've felt, while not having a way to verbalize it. Your next reaction video should be the tale of Jenny, screech and violet. I could go on, but Ren needs to go down in the history of humanity, as one of the best artists of all time. Time periods and accessibility aside, Ren's lyrics could touch 7 and a half of the 8 billion people on earth's souls.
Thank you for doing this tough one. Please do a first-time-watch reaction to Chalk Outlines Ren with Chinchilla, must be LIVE version. I would love to hear your thoughts and appreciate a real iconic performance.

Thank you for sharing and may he rest in peace. Ren has a very special way of sharing all perspectives, its amazing.
Sorry to hear that. Remember him. Cherish him. Smile with thoughts of him. I can't imagine 😢
I really appreciate you reacting to Ren's music, thank you. I know it helps people.
Thanks for watching and that is the goal!

You did a great job on this second video! All I want now is for you to introduce us to your kitty in the background.
Thank you!! Haha oh yes, her name is Jasmine!

Graat Reaction....After this, you must check: Falling in Reverse," Last Resort Reimagined"
Thanks for the recommendation!
You need some fun Ren. Check out his Love Music series.
Thank you!
You missed something with the skulls and faces. They turn into fists at the very end. A sign of resistance.
Oh very nice... thank you for telling me!
Ren is worth it raw… just a suggestion, resist pregaming.
Keep going Doc!!
Thanks!
