This song gets played all the time on country radio AND pop radio. Great reaction! Note for you, when you pause and talk, your speaking volume is much lower than that of the song. I don't know how you fix that, but I just wanted to let you know. I appreciate that you are trying to grow your channel and try all these very different artists. May I suggest some metal? Please take a look at "Nu Delhi" by Bloodywood, an Indian metal group. I would love to see your reaction.

Awwwww, baby Ren! So cute. This was before he got sick. I'm digging this approach - you have a lot to discover, I kind of envy you! But thanks for sharing your discovery with us, it's always fun to watch someone on their Ren journey 🙂

This and Way Off are my favorite Tom MacDonald tracks. Hardly anyone reacts to either, much less both. Good on you! Lol

🔥

(This is long, longer than intended; but I felt it was fair to respond to him on this video than put it in a reaction video, feel free to skip if you’d like, or read and see if you agree 🤷🏼‍♀️. ❤ I subbed the other day. I like to listen for a few videos and decide. I watched a couple artists that I personally love that you reacted to, the reactions were great and THOUGHTFUL. Which I appreciate, because only my favorite reactors actually take the time to think about it and also if they don’t see something a certain way, if they take the time to tell me their perspective or maybe a lyric hits and you think “oh….I’ve never looked it that way before…..so I can SEE how they feel like that.” Those are the rectors I love to watch because it’s shifting perspectives to LEARN, it’s our best weapon towards peace, is UNDERSTANDING and RESPECT. Once we have that, we can change the world with it. I actually waited for you to do Whiteboy by Tom to see if you were going to be the reactor that listens and tries to understand OR like some reactors, they hear “triggering” words and they shut off. It’s like they are allergic to other perspectives. I don’t expect a reactor to agree with everything, that’s just stupid. But if you give these artists and us (who request them) the time and attention and are open to seeing someone else’s perspective and experience…..then I’m going to be watching (and I subbed) but I appreciate that. I also appreciate how hard you’re working to grow your channel. I love that your cousin is who he is because he’s one of the best in this game. So you have a great example as to how to do this thing that for some reason we love to watch lol. I don’t like reactors who hear a word in a song and shut down or they don’t like a sound so they dismiss the artist or song completely but….. you LISTEN and I appreciate that. You also ask us questions when you don’t understand something or don’t know a piece of the artist’s background history that would help make something make more sense, so you can learn too. 🌟I’m sorry, I know this is long but I’ve been watching since I saw you on MR.LB’s channel and I appreciate the work you’re putting in. I can also see his influence in you in the way that he’s another one who is successful because he listens and learns as well. 🌟It’s also long because I felt this video is feedback worthy and wanted you to know that some of us out here see how you’re doing this and appreciate it. While a lot of people “use” Tom and Ren and some Chris Stapleton to grow their channels, there’s nothing wrong with that, unless we get fake reactions to it. And as a proud member of the crazy, fun, loving and supporting, but crazy and dysfunctional Hang Over Gang family and have been for a long time now, I see people “fake react” to his stuff to get us to show up. We see through that and also don’t appreciate when people “use” us for numbers and growing their channel. HOWEVER, from what I’ve seen, you’re NOT that kind of reactor and we appreciate that. You may be choosing artists with large loyal fanbases but you GET why we are…..and not the type of reactor saying “this person is awful but I need his fans to show up”. I’ve seen you listen and add your perspective and also understand where Tom or any artist like Ren are coming from because it’s a different perspective that matters. So I appreciate that. I know this is long but I haven’t commented much on the videos until I had some time to figure out who YOU were first. So with all that said, I subbed a few videos ago and I look forward to more reactions! I also apologize for the long comment but I figure only you will read it lol. God bless and I look forward to watching your channel grow 💗🙏🏼🇺🇸

At 6:33, you accurately articulated, "If something you say doesn't correspond..." In all honesty, it pertains to whatever is distorted to fit the prevailing "truth." I phrase it in this manner because it doesn't necessarily have to be objectively true; rather, it is determined by whoever possesses the most authoritative voice and the largest number of supporters vocalizing it.

I believe he wrote this when he was 15, but this recording was around the time he was signed to Sony and early days of undiagnosed Lyme disease Nearly two years into being a Ren fan , loving all eras of his music Been subbed to your cousin longer than that though and loved your reaction on his channel subbed from watching it ❤

Baby ren 🥹 I LOVE the standing bass in this one 💜💜

Thank you for taking us through this journey. I saw you on Black Pegasus, new subscriber/ renegade. I loved your reaction and the fact you’re starting from the beginning. Gonna stay for the ride.

If you want to check out some more folk or country check out Benjamin Tod. This man writes amazing lyrics and has passion like no other. He has battle his addictions, got sober and he is seeing his musical rise, got his debut at the Grand Ol Opry recently. Genuinely love his music. Ill link a song if you do decide to listen, this one is not as "heavy" as some of his others, he has some seriously emotional lyrics. Great songs like "I Will Rise", "Using Again", "Wyoming", "Shooting Star" and on an on. Benjamin Tod - We Aint Even Kin kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH_KeIuVbbuhaKM

Based off comments guessing Boyd how came across lol was thinking who talking about how cousin showed Tom, shout-out Britt as well, y'all all some real ones

"The video he put out yesterday or whenever his last song was" Ha, you weren't far off! You posted this on a Sunday - not sure when you recorded - and his last drop was Thursday 😂 "Did he say six pints and a shot?" "On stage he's in his element" Absolutely. Ren was a party boy before he got sick... he says it was social anxiety and the only place he feels free is performing. Which is especially sad for him, since doctors have recently told him he can probably never tour again. His timeline is pretty insane, though, going by his interviews. First stole cigarettes at 10, looking for "the most scenic places to smoke Marijuana" at 11, outdrinking his friend's brother who was buying for them at 14, passing out in crazy places by 19. In one of his songs he references "in the kitchen racking up lines til my nose bled" at 16. He also makes a lot of sly references to party drugs a decent amount, but doesn't address much head on. But he says he stopped drinking at 20, after a friend's death, and gave up most drugs early on in his illness as well. When he first went to Canada for his treatments and Marijuana was legal he says he overindulged a bit but cut that off when it messed with his productivity 😅 At this point, he smokes weed and struggles with quitting cigarettes, as he's been a chain smoker for years and all his friends smoke. Dude was stuck in bed for years and still managed to pack more experiences in and live more life than most people would ever dream. I find his interviews and autobiographical videos fascinating.

Enjoying your channel

I put this in the comments of MrL and your reaction to Cold. He's been writing for others longer than he's been officially singing IF I'm remembering right. This is generally my thoughts on Chris *blues, southern rock, rockabilly, bluegrass, country (85% Outlaw Country/15% 'Mainstream' Country), soul' all together, there's an element of each of those in his body & soul. I know why he's classified Country, I just don't think there's a box to put him in 100%* !! ❤‍🔥💚💜💙

Saw you on Mr. Boyd's - great reaction. Came over to subscribe and saw you already dropped this. I don't know if there has been a reactor yet to go wayyy back to Street Lights for their start of the journey. Nicely Done!!!

He is one of those that sounds better live than the studio version. It's wild, but awesome. :)

Love your reactions. I think you would enjoy names

No response, Dont look down, this house, sorry, God mode, and on and on.

Did you say lyrics can't talk?? Lol you'll change your mind with ren!!! His lyrics are on par with some of the greatest poets ever! He can make you feel as though your the character in whatever story he's telling.

I love that you did this!!! I haven't even seen this and I'm a 6mo old renegade! Lol yes this man IS music! Subbed for your ren journey!

Saw you on your cuz show but found you separately didn't link it for couple vids lol love you both smart fair good people!❤😊👍

You might also like his song, " Nobody to Blame."

I’m so excited for your journey!

Brainwashed

I caught your reaction to Hi Ren with Mr. Boyd, looking forward to more Ren - welcome to the Renegade family!

'Chantilly Lace' by The Big Bopper and 'Runaround Sue' by Dion, are a couple of good ones. Oh, yeah, and also Little Richard doing 'Good Golly, Miss Molly" and Fats Domino with 'Blueberry Hill'. If you wanna see some of the moves that Elvis' was making before they started trying to censor him on TV, go watch him do 'Hound Dog' on THE MILTON BERLE SHOW. The audio is not the greatest quality, but the video part is fantastic and more than makes up for it! I enjoyed your reaction!👍 Thanks for doing it!

Yall thought whites couldn't sing....yall were major racists for the last 50+ yrs and u missed out on a lot of cool

Elvis "Lhomme le plus connu on va dire de la planète 😇💯💥💫👏🙏🙏🙏"

Great reaction ❤ Stray Kids are amazing and I love seeing other people enjoy their music ❤

Carl Perkins wrote the song, and he had a hit with it before Elvis did. Elvis recorded it but didn't let it be released until after Carl's version had run it's course. Carl said he and his band were playing a club somewhere and he got the inspiration for the song after he heard a guy telling his girlfriend, 'Lay off my suedes, Baby!' as they were coming off the dance floor.

❤❤

Your reaction is spot on. I really appreciate your views on this. New sub.

it must be in the family u do good reactions too. keep up with ren you'll do fine

Subscribed for your Ren journey ❤

New UK subscriber here for your Ren journey. Even Baby Ren is a joy to listen to.🔥

Tom just turned 36 in sept. Tom's past is not what you'd expect. He's been through some sh*t. You'll learn as you go thru his videos. He's completely open/transparent about his life. He's got a huge catalog and it's worth the journey! I have a list of his work in order. If you start from the beginning, you will see his art developing over time and the troubles he fought through to get to where he is today. His early music has a different sound and the videos are cinematic. He has about 12 albums from when he was young but he focuses on clean Tom. You'll see the transformation from addict to being sober. He helps start hard conversations that need to be had. He is highly intelligent and super talented! Nova Rockafeller, his girlfriend, shoots all of his videos. She's wicked talented, as well, in her own right as an artist, rapper, visionary, genius!! Tom is "independent" in every sense of the word!!!! It's literally Tom, Nova, Tom's Sister Jenna, Jenna's husband Corey, Tom's mom and dad, Friend Evan Morgan does some editing and Friend Jared Potter doing some VFX. That's the team. Enjoy the Journey! I'm here for it!! This is what I have in order of video release: I suggest starting with "DEAR RAPPERS" but that's up to you, of course...

No Good 3astards 🎉Seems to be One You’ll Love 🥰

I haven't seen this one before! He could rap back then too!

Found you via your cousin. Loved your takes over there. I'm here for it!

Loved the reaction ❤️. I saw you on your cousin MRLBoyd's channel and subbed. Ren was about 19 yrs old here (he's 34 now, 32 when he filmed Hi Ren) . It was the 1st year that he fell sick with a "mysterious" Illness that left him in pain and trapped for the next 8 years. He had Lyme Disease that went undiagnosed and misdiagnosed for about 6 years but by then the disease progressed to the point where he still struggles and suffers with pain, brain damage and a host of other mental and physical disorders. That's just a small snippet of Ren's backstory. His 1st album released in 2016 was recorded from his bedroom. Many of the songs were written and recorded from the time of this track. (2010-2012). So his timeline will be very different. 😊💗 Ren will record a song and release it years later sometimes.

If you get the chance can you give blue october or miracle of sound a listen?

This is an original and refreshing way to react to Ren and I'm here for it. I think this is going to be the most fun way in the end, because he ties many songs together. I respect your patience lol.

Baby Ren! 💜

You need to check out his trilogy "Hour Glass" / "Who I Am" / "Bout It" from 9 years ago with his best friend Brandon Hart .

I have been Loving your reactions I hope your channel really takes off. 💛💛HogFamily

Most people are alike: Trying to put three cars in a two car garage and can't figure out why they don't fit.

They do all their own song writing, dances and production for their songs.
