Good Among The Greed [Chapter 7 - Ren Reaction]

[@B.JAM_]

I also have a rare disease called Behcets’s Disease. I was so glad that after you said you felt guilty about not being in pain every day that you added grateful. I also have struggled with anger towards people who take their health for granted. I would never want those people to feel guilty. I definitely desire for them to have a deep gratitude for living without feeling unsafe in their bodies. Fear of an inside danger that you can’t control can’t truly be explained. Ren is a gifted representative for those of us that live with that feeling. I appreciate you not just watching but truly trying to understand. Stay grateful my friend. Bless your life 💜

I'm very sorry to hear of your disease. I had to look it up

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

Insightful comment. Thank you for sharing.

@@A-AronReacts Thank you for looking it up! That means a lot.

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

@@B.JAM_ I wish the best for you; if nothing else, a bit of relief for you.

Blind eyed was the first song that went viral. The times Ren spent busking helped make him the musical genius he has become. Thanks for your empathy.

[@MizCriz46]

Thank you for doing these. Ren & Sam also do this amazing song For Music Crowns, too. Definitely worth a listen.

[@piwaka50]

Yes, The music crowns version is the best followed by the hilarious 'angry car park attendant' version.

[@Sheilla357]

Icarus and Behind The Big Push Icarus (the BTS for the video - sort of LOL) would be a great double feature. You will laugh and want to jam along. You need to see the Blind Eyed - Angry Car Park version and MC Sessions. As good as this is, those are better. Those fRENds are amazing. He attracts fantastic people.

[@mikesimpson1866]

Hadn’t realized you hadn’t heard Blind Eye by Sam and Ren. Angry parking lot attendant cameo is the favorite of most. Sam has an amazing voice. Rare to say someone is better singer than Ren but Sam is that rare exception.

[@justme1111]

Yeah I love Sam have been to see him perform live twice and I was SGP too and got to see Ren live! What I would say is their different, Sam is better in the higher range and Ren in the lower range, Sam smooth as Silk and Ren gritty and full of character, their both amazing

[@wickedsoul5723]

Its phenomenal how much you watch the Ren story, understand his music and see the repeated lyrics as his growth in what he does. Understanding his timelines and what he has been though! Then being able to grasp what he is producing today! There are moments when i am/have been critical to myself of his repetition. (I do not that mean that in a bad way, i just haven't understood) Your follow through with these chapters have helped me understand!! (I havent seen them previously) Its rare you get to see a band/artist go through their stages and is documented in this way. I've lived through the 80's, 90's where you only see that kind of progression in their albums. Thats all you had to go by, unless you were a local person and caught them in their early stages but you rarely know a back story. How often is music misunderstood because we have no history?!? Thank you for doing these chapters. Thank you Ren for making these chapters and wow is this powerful!!

[@michaelwalsh7359]

I know you said these chapters have been emotionally taxing but I do hope you enjoyed hearing the story as much as I enjoyed watching it all with you. Thank you so much for giving it the attention it deserves. Btw have you seen the song done for ren by Wynand and the renegades? WynandFouriemusic- loves healing featuring the renegades Help us spread the love

[@Dr.Brummel]

Yes, a great idea from Wynand and an even better result. ❤❤❤

[@krikat3485]

The song, Blind Eyes, appears in REN’s catalogue a few times, and is different every time. It’s terrific.

[@MusicTherapy74]

Love that you're doing this. ❤

[@lucygonzalez-zo5nz]

At some point you need to react to Blind eyed MC sessions. BUT you have do a double feature and also react to the version that features the Angry Park attendant. It’s hilarious and I know you’ll love it. You’ll appreciate both versions. Thank you I’m loving the chapters.

[@jenniferboedeker2511]

I hope you do a reaction to Wynand's tribute to Ren. It's really good! Get the Kleenex ready! Thanks for doing these reactions! It is clear you feel big feelings and appreciation for Ren, hence the suggestion. The song is called Love's Healing, and it is so special!

[@RENfan1265]

Sam Tompkins is awesome for more Ren and Sam you can check out Same Old Situation that they mentioned at the end, it doesn't get enough reactions to. Earned It/ Man's World/ Falling, Walking On The Moon, Improvising around Stevie Wonder. On Sam's page Time Will Fly, Lose It All, Hero live at the Hammersmith.

[@Mooley81]

Blind Eyed the MC Sessions is the better video. Live too!

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

Fascinating thought about the video settings being representative. Yes, the stories are a difficult listen, but they're nowhere as difficult as what it must be like living the existence. Sam Tompkins is phenomenal, and their collaboration is extra special.

[@janegill8990]

Oh boy, Sam Tompkins is another rabbit hole to go down. Lose it all and Time will fly are beautiful songs...well anything really his voice is incredible. ❤

[@stevesharp6138]

👍👍👍👍 they are a dienamic duel

[@denalinde]

Sam & Ren “Improvising Around Stevie Wonder” is a fun busking session to watch. It might be on Sam’s channel.

[@Dr.Brummel]

Thanks for another great and compassionate reaction 👍❤ Big hugs and much love to you 🫂❤🫂❤🫂❤🫂❤🫂❤ And I just realized that you haven't reacted to Sam Tompkins up to know. This is something you should definitely catch up on 😀. 'Lose It All' is a good start.

[@SandraP3796]

Thank you for doing the Chapters. I thoroughly enjoy your Ren reactions. Living with pain 24/7 for 16 years is a lonely experience. Living with people who don’t understand or are not willing to understand is hard. I understand a lot of what Ren experiences although I don’t have Lyme disease. Ren and Sam doing Earned it/Man’s World is fantastic.

[@jackchisnall9316]

There are three more versions of Blind Eyed each a little different, also check Sam's solo work start with Loose it All.
