[@iamlpinthe312]

PLEASE don’t ever, EVER apologize for pausing, going back, getting emotional … It’s everything that makes Ren Ren; it’s everything that art is supposed to do: Evoke feelings and create a space for dialogue. For me it’s “ PAIN… condescending “ because it is applicable to everyone who has suffered, regardless of what type of pain it is- it’s often in silence and often alone. Ren has made many of us feel seen, heard , and understood in ways that any medical “professional “ has , and even more than those closest to us. This was the last track Ren wrote for Sick Boi- and along with MG3 it was written while he was undergoing treatment in Canada. It opens with his eulogy in Welsh and then begins with the day when, having moved back home, his mother found him on the kitchen floor “clawing at the laminate “ and it’s when, having gone through treatments for things unrelated to his actual disease, he fell into a state of psychosis. It goes through all the things he felt back then and even now. His lyrics “ Thirty-three and hurting, cursing” “Gears are turning, future stays uncertain” “ Runnin' from the silhouette of self-doubt By now, by now Really should've figured this shit out” HE IS STILL GOING THROUGH IT AND STILL HAVING HARD TIME OF IT.

[@BLIND82]

Ren is his own human metronome, he said that his beatboxing helps create counter melodies, rhythm and flows and rapping is like a drum kit and singing is like a cello the closest thing to a human voice but he explains it far better than I just did lol.

[@audivawalsh2983]

I love most of his stuff, but for me 'Hi Ren' was an introduction to his illness, 'Sick Boi' was an addon to that. 'Seven Sins' really spelled out how much pain he's been in. And 'Troubles' answers all of the other questions about it. Thanks for continuing to react to him!

[@francesdoll4039]

Illness is my teacher It broke my smile My bones feel old Here lies the body of Ren Describing the day he fell into psychosis at 25 from reaction to another treatment. This was the most recent song written for the album. He has bern sick and in pain for 13 years.

[@sharoncarlisle9453]

Ren does play drums. He was playing drums for The Big Push when they started out, but according to Ren, he is not a very good drummer (I'm skeptical of that), and so they got Glen to be their drummer.

[@eryksun]

I've seen him drumming in a couple videos. He wasn't just being modest. He looks awkward just laying down a basic rock beat. That's not to say he doesn't have excellent rhythm and tempo as a musician, or that he couldn't gain skill and confidence on the drums with practice. But it is to say that I'm glad that they found Glenn in 2018.

[@-RalphSpencer-]

Ren is a genius, but more importantly, he is a hard working genius. Banger after banger. Top of the game. Subbed for more Ren.

[@charlesdemeillon]

Yes, it is indeed Welsh and roughly translates to: sickness is my teacher, my smile broke, my bones feel old, here lies the body of Ren

[@salishseamermaid]

What a way to start an album! Ren has a unique gift for putting deep, REAL lyrics over a catchy beat. I (a nurse) have caught myself at work humming "murderer," or "suicide, suicide, suicide." 😳🤣

[@iamsquatty]

Ren really is a once in a generation talent. Im so glad i can be on the earth the same time he is 💜💜😊

[@waxingmiracle]

I have had this exact thought.

[@Shiroar]

Ren is a genius and this is the perfect opening track to the Sick Boi album with little references to paint a picture of what’s to come while it’s already a masterpiece all on its own. Also please please please check out his song Crutch feat. Bibi. I have no doubt you will love it. It is something very special and very different than everything else he has done.

[@carlahelin5203]

Grab the Kleenex. Chief, you will love Crutch.

[@carlahelin5203]

@Shiroar love how you described this track as painting a picture for what is coming on the entire album yet stands as its own masterpiece alone, as well. So true.

[@jeffreyallen-uw9uh]

Sorry to correct you brother...my man is a GLOBAL TREASURE:) Thanks for a great reaction Subbed! -see you soon.

[@chrisyravenconlin]

This song is probably my fave. The pain and bed parts are my life story, and it’s true, he sings what I can’t figure out how to explain to people. I love the welsh at the beginning as well.

[@sabrinaskovholt7427]

Please reach out to Ren, I have faith he will be more than happy to have a chat with you ❤

[@Yougottalaugh-p9u]

Big Push Sweet little lady (live) Ren has a little bash on the drums.

[@bug1408]

I'm fully obsessed with this tune and this is one of the realest reactions I've seen - and I've seen a lot 🙂

[@jorice5528]

💯 great reaction as always Chief ❤

[@StantonMoira]

Honestly, you are by far my favorite reactor in a very high level of excellent reactors. There’s something so unique and so very real (and Gaelic) about the way you see things. Love this reaction and I totally agree with him “dancing” on top of the song (because he can). Thank you for your response. 🩵🩵🩵

[@elevown]

I agree- even tho he has been such a hit on YT and to an extent in the album charts- there are still a lot of people out there who should get to hear him who havnt.

[@yvonnewyke6897]

I’m love your reactions, your emotional reactions to REN mirror my own . He is so intense and insanely talented . His words matter, that’s why he gets to us

[@sampanther8854]

Love your Ren reactions 😍 this is a deep song but it makes you bounce and feel at same time 🤯 it gets better the more you listen to it ❤️✌️ take care

[@carlahelin5203]

@sampanther8854 it absolutely does get better with each listen. Freakin’ brilliant!

[@sampanther8854]

@@carlahelin5203 😍😊

[@Caseyd1966]

Thank you for your vulnerability in your reaction.

[@carlahelin5203]

“Gee whiskers” 🐈 😂. I know! How does Ren fit so much in a relatively short amount of time. Mind blowing 🤯. Ren gets many of us leaking from our eyeballs. It’s the connection. He is so honest and has such a gift with conveying what he has gone through and deep messages to think about. All hitting deep into our hearts and consciousness. Amazing! Brilliant! So many layers. Every time I listen to this track it hits at another deeper level. I love your Ren reactions. You are one of the first reactors I listened to when I first discovered Ren almost a year ago now. ❤

[@Turntablist_Mk2]

Down to the last song in his back catalogue, u never get used to this man's talent.

[@elwray3506]

He plays drums. I mean, what did you expect? lol

[@pufferzsola69]

It is interesting how he kinda inserted Sick Boi into it and branched out from it. Chief, you lovely man!

[@PeteFindsObscureStuff]

You nailed this Chief. This is all about the juxtapositions!!

[@momishka7]

We need more Ren from you, where have you been, I miss you. ❤❤❤😘

[@BeatrixButton]

I've suffered chronic pain for 17 years, the worst after being hit by a cat and was mostly house bound for 4 years. This song hits hard.

[@BeccaleemarieBleu]

❤Good to see you, thanks for always supporting Ren! He’s definitely a role model to so many, his authenticity is really special. I love this song , he was only going to use the beginning of it as an intro to the album but ended up writing a whole song❤

[@carlahelin5203]

BeccaleemarieBleu I didn’t know that. I love finding little gold nugget facts from other Renagades. ❤

[@renskevanderhaagen5813]

Ooya denim 😁 hey there handsome, so glad you did another Ren one 🥰 this is my absolute favorite from the new album, I'm also a sucker for strings. Much love my friend! 💜

[@pianoblacksky]

Shout out to you, for the help with this one 💜🤘

[@spomenkachekerevatz4848]

Hiya Chief 👋 love from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@suevick637]

This is one of my favorites from Ren. I guess I can say that about most of his songs, but this one says it all. I deal with pain, both physical pain and mental pain, having my husband pass away 3 years ago. All of which sent me into a downward spiral. Ren, never disappoints. All of his songs are great and he seems to be able to, so eloquently, get his story across. I this musicians come and go, but Ren is here to stay. ❤❤

[@sigally]

Always love your reactions and I'm sorry you're not feeling well. ❤ Also, 7 verses in this. I think Ren weaves in juxtaposition and duality in most of his music. He wants us to enjoy the music even though his lyrics portray pain and suffering.

[@BirgittHGer]

Thank you for this great reaction - new sub from me👍👏🤝🙋‍♀️ Greetings from Germany 👈🫶

[@junction6_m27VNC]

So many switches and rhyme schemes in this, it’s just incredible

[@CyndeLooWho]

Babe, never take Ren first thing you wake up. It’s not safe!

[@majbrat]

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 Thank you for showing your empathy and appreciation. He is a bloody genius

[@ScottWelke]

Hey Chief, Why haven't you reach out to Ren for a interview? Would be great. With a new battery of questions and direction than the other cast interview. The fans never hear of their fave artist and new peek of a genius mind!

[@jitskebu7582]

You were one of the first reactors I saw reacting on Hi Ren (somewhere April last year) just after I was blown away by it. I enjoy it so much that you're still blown away by all Ren creates! Feel the same.😊❤

[@Oitsugina93]

You still have many surprises of Ren's to uncover!❤❤ I am here for it. Maybe something from The Big Push next??

[@Codex7777]

"...Crime scene, forensic' (for Ren's sick). Genius! :)

[@stigish]

I've been listening to this on repeat since i bought his album lol. Glad to see others share my insanely deep appreciation

[@CatchAUAP]

I love your explanation of the music at 9:37 about the switch ups in the music and keeping the foundation going while some elements drop out- and Ren just dances on top-bc he can lol. While saying real shit. Upbeat while heart breaking too. You said a lot but u summed it up perfectly 🤘

[@momishka7]

Genesis! Power! More more more! Please sir May I have another! ❤❤❤

[@bethscott4330]

You are adorable and have such a beautiful voice. I enjoy your reactions. It’s always nice to see you posting. Best luck always. From Rochester, New York. 🗽

[@martinschulz-bruckner4155]

Great way to start a day off 😅 You should go down the Money Game triology or Love Music 1 - 4 some time soon. You'll love them I suppose.

[@samarafgscvs]

Ren is a master at the build up.

[@belgand5555]

❤❤❤ He did play drums for a bit in his bands, but wasn’t his strength.. but he has incredible rhythm… welcome back! Ren is genius and does it all! 🫶🏻😊🫶🏻

[@iamlpinthe312]

And you are the only one who has pointed out the IG logo behind Pride. It also looks like medical records as the background to the lyrics. I agree completely that he has made SO many people feel seen and heard- especially those of us who have suffered in silence and have felt so isolated because of it.

[@Michelle-by9vl]

I love your REN reactions ❤❤❤

[@Deeb390]

I call them his word daggers. He just throws them out and gets you right in the heart when you least expect it. I never thought I would be so invested in and affected by one artist at this stage of my life. I’ve tried to explain Ren to family and got choked up. Not sure they get it.

[@AsphaltMclen]

I think he trying to deliver this in modern way so the gen z can understand at least what he felt that way and message itself, its so fk*ng well made that deserve attention and award🙌

[@SolLunaris]

Hes able to fit all of that song in 4ish minutes because he's on that Namek timing.

[@michaelwalsh7359]

Really love these Ren reactions man! Keep em coming! 🤘

[@scottterres4119]

I always look so forward to your Ren reactions. You bring something different...there's a lot of reactors...I just don't know if they're reacting to Ren as the flavor of the week and because they know Renegades will follow, and I doubt the sincerity of their praise. Never have that with you. As much as I wish you'd react to Ren more frequently (get through the Sick Boi album and then start hitting his back catalog and collabs and Big Push), I like that you go at your pace and just dole it out every 5 or 6 weeks. It's like a wonderful little torture.

[@Yougottalaugh-p9u]

If you could fit all the most musically knowledgeable reactors on a pin head you would definitely be perched there.

[@KitstormUno]

Great reaction. Thank you!

[@jessiejames1641]

I'm obsessed with Seven Sins atm - my brain connects to the pain element so hard! I wasn't too keen on it when the album first released, because it wasnt Masochist. You're right though, the flow changes makes it seem like you're listening to different songs. Fucking love this!

[@PaulKelley-gy3hm]

Ren is an upgrade! He can download a whole novel into your brain in a song!

[@mauraleib]

Thanks for your thoughtful response to this incredible song. You’re right it takes many listens to be able to experience this one without sensory overload and catch all that’s in it ❤

[@agnespaterson6901]

Big push It's Alright. Love it.

[@beckyconlan1798]

This is one of my favourite Ren tracks and you are 100% one of my favourite reactors ❤

[@beckyconlan1798]

I’ve been clean and sober for the last 6 months… it’s since I found the sick boi album.. it can’t be a coincidence 🫶🏼

[@momishka7]

I think you need to see Ren and chinchilla how to be me

[@Rayan_MWF]

One would need an hour to dissect 4 minutes of Ren and would still miss stuff. Global treasure. By the way, please reach out to Ren; we need an interview from the two of you! Much love from Lebanon mate ❤

[@matmachin9992]

In my very humble opinion, you should react to more. I love watching them and seeing so few made me feel sad, but I'll watch whatever you put out and always thumbs up. Why some don't always baffles me, it doesn't even take one second. Keep doing what you're doing bro, it's appreciated.

[@SandraP3796]

This is my favorite on the album. It also explains my life with pain. Always love your reactions to Ren.

[@madcat528]

REN is an exceptional talent! ❤❤❤

[@Bucketheadgoat]

Gee whiskers. I'm using that from now on.

[@MalcolmMXTaylor]

The legend returns!! Another great reaction dude!!!

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

This song is such an epic start to the album.

[@adamwheeler6326]

Greatness!

[@Emma_S226]

Im a month late to this reaction, but, your Ren reactions are my favorite. I feel the same. Bouncing in my chair and gutted and the same time. Please do reach out to him! I would love to see the two of you chat together!! Love to you from Texas.

[@eddie1822]

Fantastic reaction as usual. Thank you. You have a great way of expressing in words how I feel when I listen to Ren. Also, I would LOVE to watch an interview/conversation with you and Ren!!

[@ralphsweet7291]

Great reaction! I guess Wicked ways would be a nice next one ;)

[@rudyb.]

My Sunday morning is off to a great start!! Thank you Chief!! Love your reaction!!

[@carlahelin5203]

My Sunday is also off to a great start now! Funny I was just thinking that and then read your comment. ❤

[@docdurdin]

I've always felt, Ren made the music to make the hardness of the lyric acceptable and understandable.

[@Little_Alien_Lost]

Never apologize for being moved by music, my friend. You are one of my favorite reactors BECAUSE you feel the music, not just listen to it. Math might be the universal language for scientific minds but, Music is the Universal Language of the Human Spirit. I can't do complex math problems but, I can listen to any artist perform music and understand what they are feeling, regardless of spoken language. Music is an unstoppable force. Ren wields it like a weapon in the hands of a well trained and battle scarred warrior. If you were not moved by him, I couldn't watch your videos. There would be no reason to do so. I come to watch you feel the music just like I do. It's how I know that I am not alone in the world. Keep doing you, Chief! I will keep coming back to watch you feel the music with me. 👍

[@jorice5528]

You & your brain are just fabulous Chief - fab reaction to this superb album opener - Ren makes my eyeballs leak too 😭😂❤

[@TimMcfadden-i4h]

New sub here. Love your reactions bro. And yeah, he plays drums too.

[@MooleeTube]

Hey you, loving this reaction!Hope you are keeping an eye on The Secret Garden Party, they will be starting to release their line up soon and we all are hoping for our Cult Leader to be headlining on one of the stages 🤘

[@sunsayer]

Thank you love for sharing, I feel you

[@botlus4727]

Perfect Ren reaction from you like always. Love them all!! Keep up the good work! Cheers from Berlin 👍🍀😎

[@sigally]

He can and has played drums but he said he's not very good at it. But making beats like he does he probably would be great if he chose to.

[@shazza175]

Chief, love, when are you going to remember that Ren effs you up?!? (in a good way) Love ya! Hope you are feeling better! 😘

[@ready__to__fall]

Great reaction, Chief! Seven Sins is my absolute fav on the album. ✨ Really loved your thoughts on this piece.

[@Mmmmmmmmin680]

More REN!

[@bellarebelrose5896]

Enjoy you stopping to drop insightful observations Chief! Definitely adds a new layer to further enhance the appreciation and connection, we ourselves, may not have thought of … “Pretty and cerebral”, loved it! 😉

[@kipper2626]

Just got home from performing poetry at an open mic so put youtube on to decompress. I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AGAIN AND DOING SUCH A BRILLIANT REN SONG! You're my fave reactor by far. Great reaction, great song. Take care XXX

[@fredericharmignies1519]

Amazing reaction as always! Please reach out to him! I'm sure you'll get some reply. You're reactions are some of the best, most honest and heartfelt I've seen out there...HUGE fan! :) Cheers!

[@MissMeKate]

Love watching your face as you take his music in. Gee whiskers indeed! Hope you're feeling a bit better. ❤

[@iron86]

Ren dropped a new video. Ive subscribed to wait for your reaction. Great reactions always.

[@simplyawful3420]

Should do castles made of sand by Ren next

[@Courtneyp85]

Yes. The Sick Boi exclusive.

[@julieblackwell2064]

I luv your Ren reactions! Have you seen My Grave by Paleface? I saw them live a few months back and I cried when they started My Grave (my fav on the newest album), and I realized a LOT of the crowd around me did too!

[@FireEatingNinja]

Keep it up brother. You're killing it. Thanks for doing react content. Reexperiencing powerful moments vicariously through others is so much fun. I'll join you one day.

[@peterveste6976]

thank you for reacting to my favourite artist ever ❤❤

[@malinhobbs2745]

New sub here 👋 So now I have watched all of your Ren reactions (up to date and all back to back 😅) yes, I am a Renegade 😏 But most of all I wanted to say that you, Chief is an amazing person, kind, genuine, loving and humble ❤ I love to hear your thoughts on songs and their lyrics, or I would not watch reactions 😉 so please stop apologizing for reacting, sharing your thoughts and feelings and for going on rants or side tracks. I for one love it! Thats what makes me see the person you are and not just another robot watching a video with little to nothing to say in response. Reach out to Ren, he is such a down to earth, humble and amazing human being, I am sure he would respond to you, if he has the time. Might be a lot of people reaching out to him as you might imagine. I also watched your reaction to Tommy Johansson, "O helga natt", everything you said about how you see him is spot on for how I look at you now after having seen your Ren videos. You seem like the nicest guy and an empath like most of us Renegades. That you enjoy listening to the language that is to my mother tongue just made me love you more 🥰 😅 I will listen to more of your reactions to metal bands I enjoy, now that I have got to the end of your Ren videos 😏 Really look forward to your next one 😊 Keep up the great work and stay true to who you are. Much Love from Sweden ❤

[@7cats2]

I always love your reactions... it's so obvious that you love and appreciate music and especially music that has something to say 😊

[@JasonBernardo]

Good to have you back Chief! Can’t wait for more. ✌🏼

[@tvadakia]

Phenomenal reaction. Continue to be you, sir.

[@lillyvanpug]

Hey Chief 🖤 Always makes me happy to see you've dropped another video. I hope you're doing well.

[@barbarahatcher5942]

BRILLIANT reaction! "National treasure" ... you are so right. Honestly the second and third time I heard the song I cried just at how good it is. It is a song you will still be learning from on the 10th and 20th listen. GENIUS!
