Hey, I have a request/suggestion for you! Rag 'n Bone man. 2 song I'd recommend to start with is Remains (Bastel vs rag 'n bone man vs Skunk Anasie), and Rain (Ft Kate Tempest). I'd love to see your reactions to them.

What's mind-blowing to me, besides the whole thing 😅 Is that you're watching an independent artist. A guy and his friends put this together. 🤯

[@kevintunaley5079]

bro the camera work was sic, making it look like the 2nd masked guy was getting off the floor but he was just walking. Super cool idea and to pull it off so well is just so awesome.

[@DandelionCollab]

@@kevintunaley5079 I *LOVE* that moment and very few people mention it. It is a small, brilliant moment that makes you question the reality in front of you.

[@PeteAxeShields]

@@DandelionCollab My favourite moments in the whole video are when the telephone rings and the globe stops turning ( signifying Jimmy's world comes to an abrupt halt ) at the exact same time he picks up the phone to receive the message of his father's death ..... and when Ren slumps down into the wheelchair without flinching as he knows the chair will be in the exact position for him to fall into .... such is the precision and timing of Ren and Sam's meticulous videos ... every single element, visually, lyrically and musically, worked out to perfection. 🙏

You’ve quickly become one of my favorite Ren reactors. Love seeing you showing how these songs hit you emotionally. It’s validating to the emotions a lot of us have when we watch these vids.

[@robmarar]

I can't wait to see your reaction to Ren's latest release "Money Ties". I personally refer to it as the unofficial MG4 😁. It's also a tear jerker because Ren dedicates it to his sister and get very personal in this one, in were it's a story about Ren not the fictional Jimmy. Hope you read this & take my suggestion to react to it soon. ❤✌🏾

[@Markus-uc5jq]

Hi Nicole, Ren has written a piece for his friend Mackay, who passed away in 2010: "Mackay". Instrumental, only piano. Surprise guaranteed. And congrats to the 10.000 subs!

[@kalijhawk70]

I know you probably don’t need any more suggestions but, Chinchilla is a REN friend who is off the charts good. If you try FINGERS Live, I guarantee you will LOVE it. Loved this reaction BTW 💜💜💜💜

[@aimeeparrott9204]

Yes pleeeeeease. And also Ren's first duets with Chinchilla. Chalk Outlines, How to be Me

[@bunnyshredderrl8689]

One of Rens absolute masterpieces. He wrote the music/arraingement for this one himself. Brilliant artist.

[@sarahcp6117]

You so perfectly captured the feeling of "REN. GD IT! I wanna squish your stupid, beautiful, brilliant, evil head!" He really is a genius.

[@SR1Records]

I didn't realise that you hadn't reacted to this yet! I little bit of trivia, the sprinkler system malfunctioned on this shoot. If you look at the voila player on the left, when the sprinklers go off she moves her bow. Because of the malfunction, the water went on her and her viola/bow! But she sat through it like a champ and Ren thanked her and payed for her voila and bow to be restrung.

[@dimwitdave9344]

There I was thinking I knew all the Ren trivia and there you was thinking nah dimwit, you know nothing!

[@namoric]

The man on the right I think almost got hit, too, you see him drop his hand to cover the bottom of the instrument.

I think you're the first reactor that expressed as much emotion when that quartet starts up as I do. I don't even know why it moves me every time...but it moves me. Every time.

[@fredwds5178]

I really enjoy the addition of your operatic interpretations to REN’s original work. Hopefully Ren will be alerted and get to hear them. Perhaps a collaboration will result on a future Ren masterpiece!

[@NikolettaOfficial]

That would be cool! We jus have to have enough of us bugging him to do it!

[@fracker8258]

It may be easier to get a hold of him for interview but you may have to travel to Calgary, Canada. Because that’s where his is doing his treatment again.

[@darkmatter6714]

If you want to see him play an instrument most people won’t have seen in their lives, react to “Swan Song”, with his band, The Big Push. He said it was his favorite song with them.

[@BigPsiClone]

You're going to love reacting to "Mackay" when you get to it. Keep up the good work!

[@LiannaBabeli]

It'll be such a piece that drives home for her how much Ren is capable of using an external instrument to create incredible emotive pieces.

[@LiannaBabeli]

Hey Nicole! Good morning. ^^ First, Congratulations on reaching 10,000 subscribers! An incredible milestone and you totally deserve it. You are a lovely and amazing human being. We appreciate you so much. Second, this is the most extravagant piece that Ren has ever produced. Nearly 26,000 USD was spent on this video and piece, almost 26 times more than any other video he's ever produced, even with all his latest pieces since Money Game Part 3. Third, this has won several awards, including Best Music Video twice, Best Direction, and Best Audio. Fourth, the piano he and then Charlie, the man who replaced him at the piano (a friend who is a part of his production team who is a classically trained musician and that's why Ren wanted him to play the remainder of the piano arrangement as he felt that Charlie would be much better at handling its complexity properly), was a 175,000 USD grand piano gifted to him by Yamaha. They heard the work he is doing and chose to gift him one of their most expensive pieces JUST for this video. Here is the BTS of Charlie and Ren practicing the piano section together from Ren's second channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWOtn5lvfahmrcUsi=lNXs6KJsS5scdbun and the BTS of the strings practice from that same channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHTOmWV8qpmcjMksi=YiEvtHkPxcfyRAvm Fifth, almost everything about this video's Behind the Scenes is available via an amazing extended cut video by @TheWolfJohnson and I HIGHLY recommend you watch it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnrNd2idasp3ercsi=G686J00qL3wAV98j Sixth, the piano and strings sections were composed and arranged by Ren. The first half of the piano at the very beginning of the song is his version of the intro of Grieg's Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 16. Seventh, the female violist on the left side of the quartet got wet during the rain sequence and ruined her bow and parts of her viola. Ren felt so awful about it that he replaced her bow and paid for her instrument to be repaired and restrung out of his own pocket to guarantee she wouldn't have to worry about her ability to play her music. It was designed so that the rain dispensers were SUPPOSED to avoid the quartet, but somehow did not miss her and malfunctioned during the take. Makes me cry thinking about how truly selfless he really is because violins, as you know, are VERY expensive instruments. Eighth, this entire video was the culmination of Ren's nearly 20 year journey about everything, but it is only the tip of the iceberg. He recently put together a series of videos called 'Chapters' on his second channel (listen to the playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PLKFO0C0E7JcvUyYZSyte8omVITyIKoS17&si=iiVKr0kCCPokAyVx), and then released a song summarizing all of them called 'Troubles'. It is immensely heartbreaking and 100% true to Ren's journey, forcing himself to relive all those terrible moments that he's had, and sometimes continues to have, but it certainly must be absolutely therapeutic and cathartic to release even more of his pain through telling his story to the people who care and love for him. Ninth, I just want to celebrate and appreciate you for getting so intimate and personal with your own problems and issues to give insight on how this song makes you feel. Something that the RENegades have discovered about the Money Game series is this: each song represents different aspects of Greed. Part 1 is about the Systems/Government, Part 2 is about the Methods/Intent, Part 3 is about the Example/Individual experiencing or causing or victim of Greed. Tenth, we love you and we appreciate you. Your vulnerable, sweet soul speaks volumes of the integrity and intelligence of a person who truly cares about themselves and others. You are an inspiration and I hope you never lose sight of that. I can't wait for more as you go through the journey of Ren! Much peace and love to you. ^^

[@LiannaBabeli]

Oh just remembered: something people miss a lot... when the call comes that Jimmy has lost his father, the spinning globe stops PRECISELY as the call is picked up ON North America AND South America. Totally accidental, but it is visually stunning...

[@rodgersmith6891]

You certainly did not disappoint with this. This was a fantastic reaction. I definitely think that your next reaction should be Ren's latest track "Money Ties" which, for all intents and purposes, could have be called Money Game part 4. It only came out last week. Going forward, if you want to focus on his singing my top picks would be 1) "Genesis (acoustic live version) 2) "Blind Eyed" (MC sessions w/ Sam Tomkins 3) "How to be me" (live w/Chichilla) 4) " Fred Again Mashup" and, if you are super duper brave 5) "suicide" + "For Joe". If you want more of his rapping, some top suggestions would be "Seven sins," "wicked ways," " Love Music parts 1,2,3, or 4" or "The hunger". Anyways you are superb at what you do. Congrats on hitting 10k. Can't wait for you to discuss "MG3" with Charlie

You’re a breath of fresh air in the reactor community. I could tell right away that this one hit differently with you. Not money, the love of money is the root of all evil.

So I learned today that music can cause cute aggression in certain people. That's fascinating. Beautiful as always. You mentioned that he brought back "presses on the trigger of a money game", but he also brought back "Rain, rain, rain, rain, a storm it comes our way", by having it literally rain. And lastly, your cat is adorable. It’s amazing how animals pick up our energy. And singing, by its nature, IS energy. Of course your cat wanted to help with whatever you had going on. They love you. It was very sweet.

And he pointed the mirror at himself at the beginning of the song literally instead of singing the chorus.

Ok, 27 minutes in and you've got me ugly crying over this song for the first time since I first heard it... ya monster, lol...

[@majbrat]

❤❤❤ Genius in story, composition, and performance. Poor Jimmy was misled and driven to a terrible life & fate by greed. It infected him from his father when he had so much promise. We need to do better for our kids & provide examples of why greed is always the wrong path. Rens' piano composition for this piece is stellar. The swells and runs are deep and exciting exactly where they need to be to drive our emotions. He is not classically trained (self-taught and still a student), and he composed a very challenging piece. The pianist who is trained was having difficulty and spoke about figuring out a bit different way to play the notes he wanted more economically because Ren made an almost impossible sequence to stretch your hands to play or something. He figured it out, and Ren asked him to please video his hands so he could play it better as well. Super artist who has NO Ego, a student of all music, and truly inspiring. Your vocals were beautiful and haunting. Thank you.

[@sigally]

Wow❤️fabulous! This is what I love about reaction videos. I get to live my emotions thru you. I realize one of the reasons Ren is so captivating. He looks right at us and talks directly to us.

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1430">23:50</a> Here we go, get ready for another level. After I watched Hi Ren I commented @Ren on the video to not worry about ever trying to top Hi Ren as that is a Magnum Opus on the human condition. That it is a once in a life time work and no matter what it will stand on it's own. Then he went and dropped this and I realized I should just kick back and watch the show.

It is important to note that the gun didn't fire. It clicked. If Ren had meant it to fire, they would have added it in post. This not only allows the potential of a future Tale, but it reinforces Ren's belief that such an end is unnecessary because things can change. I do hope Ren sees this. I think he would be touched to see the impact his work has on so many of us.

[@ETucker1967]

What a beautiful reaction to REN’s work here. For way too many years, almost all of my choices were based on the thought, ‘What will my mom think about this?’ I went down so many paths that I thought would make her proud to call me her son, yet never received the praise she lavished on my brother. At 37 years of age, I let go of the desire to make her ‘proud’ of me, but I had no idea who I was, nor what direction I wanted to move in life. After much reading, soul searching, and seeking the support of others, I decided I just wanted to be happy with who I was as a person and that the rest would then work itself out. One thing I learned was that change is instantaneous. You flip a switch and the light turns on or off. It doesn’t take time for the lightbulb to change. However, my decision to actually flip the switch can take a long time. Fear of what flipping that switch can lead to interrupts our decision to just flip it. I learned to ask myself, would I rather remain in the dark or flip this switch and face the dangers of what it may shed light on? Since I was more afraid of stagnating in the darkness in which I existed, I just began flipping the switches of change. BAM!! I began changing. If I liked the change, I kept the switch on. If I didn’t like the change, I flipped the switch off and found another switch to flip on. I really like the man I became, once I dropped the fears of rejection, the fears of change, the fears of the unknown. I am 57 years old. I am happy. I shed tears with you during this video. I smiled with you during this video. And, I love that I know longer worry how others may judge me for either. Love and warm wishes!!

This is Rens most expensive production to date most of his videos are under £1500 ($2000) this one cost Ren around £30,000 ($39,000) to make. Ren tried to rent a grand piano for this shoot and wasn't able to get one, Yamaha stepped up and loaned Ren the £100,000 Grand you see in the production (yes I called it a production not a video) along with a tech to keep it tuned for him. If you want to know what Ren can't do..... play Basketball (Losing it), Box (Murderer) and fold a suit Jacket (Money Game III). The "only" cut in the video (the vocals are all one take) is as the camera pans behind the wheel chair, this was done so that Ren could switch his mic into a water proof container and insert it into his tie... "Rain, Rain, Rain" isn't sung in this production, it is represented by it actually raining on Ren... Ren commented after the shoot that as they cleared up the shoot site and left for home that evening, they could have been in real trouble if the police had stopped them, they had a bag full of fake drug's, fake money and a decommissioned firearm with bullets in the back of the van.... Great reaction Nicole you brighten my Tuesdays with your genuine reactions and little surprises...

Ya missed one off the list of things Ren cant do. Fail. Good talk man

[@DiscoverwithJason]

No, there are two cuts, first when he takes off his money sack in front of the mirror (he was sweating to much from he sack) and the second from the behind the wheelchair before the string quartet. Still impressive though.

[@InconSteveHable]

@@DiscoverwithJason Thats why I put ONLY in "'s I remember Ren saying there was 1 cut but then Sam said there were 2...

[@k4xtt]

Ren, possibly the ultimate story teller in this genre A Bard for sure.. Love you voice and the fills you provided at the end. Stay well...

[@chrisstallings8381]

His songs bring so much out of people! Great reaction! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@SickBoiRENegade]

What a beautiful MG3 reaction!!❤❤❤ The week leading up to this song dropping was truly magical. The games, the treasure hunt, Eden, then this masterpiece! To all the RENegades that were blessed enough to experience that week along with me...i luv you🫶A rising tide lifts all ships🌊🚢✌️

[@johnwalters5939]

Ren and Sam won awards for this stunning cinematography. Another fabulous reaction and watching you get emotional made me tear up again. Congratulations on the 10k. Mackay is a piano piece by Ren you might want to react to soon.

[@helenjarvis7755]

Also for the Music video itself

[@RenRabbitHole]

You are an absolutely amazing reactor! Talented, warm-hearted, and beautiful inside and out. I think I cracked the screen on my phone clicking so fast when seeing you had a new video out 😂

[@NikolettaOfficial]

Wow, thank you!

[@MoreThanNot]

I absolutely love your obviously genuine reactions. I couldn't help but watch all your reactions to Ren. He is something special and so are you. Thank you for opening up for us to see. It's a very special thing.

[@In_42_Space]

Wow I have watched this and people react to this a whole lot of times. But your reaction brought the emotion all back and had me tearing up. Thank you so much. If you want to see more of Ren’s piano skills you should react to Makay but actually only after “how to be me -live” “su!cide” and “for Joe” to get the full context. You are in for a wild ride.

[@pepinosylvie8887]

Oh my god... That was absolutly delicious to hear you sing with him at the end of the video... That was a really special moment... Wonderful 😍 You're so good... Thanks, really ❤️

[@NikolettaOfficial]

Thank you so much!!

[@christophervisavati8983]

Listen to Mackay, I think it is. He wrote it for another friend of his that passed. No singing, just beautiful piano. I love your reaction videos. 😊

[@cliff4xs7145]

Once again brilliant reaction, we noticed how excited you were when the strings started. You will flip when you get to 'Ren - Bitter Sweet Symphony (Live)' it is magic.

[@Vmcf1968]

that surprise was insanely good.

[@NikolettaOfficial]

Thank you:)

[@tetsumcneil1545]

I love how you keep saying you are ready...we are never ready for Ren, even when it's a happy one.

[@NikolettaOfficial]

So true!

[@margothealy6881]

You are my favourite reactor (along with Disco Doc)….and I watched anticipating your reaction to the strings coming in ❤….but your surprise brought me to tears and it was like your cat was expressing my feelings. Ren with all his musical genius and you with your pure emotion classical opera voice would produce magic in a collab ✨🤍

[@sarag1521]

The surprise was perfect! Also, Cat comes in: Are you ok mom?

[@NikolettaOfficial]

Every time!

[@MissMeKate]

We only get one life, we can't afford to let someone live it for us. ❤ Sending you a hug. Ren reminds us that music tells universal stories.

[@s2kkev292]

10K let’s gooooo you deserve all of it and more. Now on to 100K 💪

[@highlightshadow]

There's just not the words to express how amazingly talented this song is. Sam is a master with this video and Ren's performance is captivating. There's always twists and turns in these productions and it keeps you enthralled with each bit. Who else can make an almost 10 minute video with moments of total silence engrossing in this day and age. It's masterful creation.

[@jmas43]

I hope Ren calls you for some vocals someday, because you two would make absolute magic together.

[@byongyi2714]

I think you should check out Ren- Mackay

[@LiannaBabeli]

I second this choice. She will absolutely adore that piece considering its entirely instrumental and one of the showcases of Ren's capability with a piano.

[@byongyi2714]

Yeah those were my thoughts exactly 💯 ​@@LiannaBabeli

[@LiannaBabeli]

@@byongyi2714 Unfortunately, some of his best piano pieces are in very sad, melancholic songs... For Joe and Mackay, specifically.

[@seagull01-cp8pb]

I thought this even before the reaction started😁💕👍🦇

[@seth1455]

Need to read the back story first, gives the piece context

[@JonniPants]

*hugs* That was a wonderful reaction. Thank you for always being so vulnerable with the art. 💜 And congrats on hitting 10k!!

[@NikolettaOfficial]

Thank you so much!!

[@CalebTrimblify]

I love his early stuff where he's busking. His "Man's World" rendition is great.

[@sarawoods9838]

Absolutely love your reactions, Ren brought me to your channel, he s just incredible isn't he ! I would love to see you react to For Joe and Mackay , they are absolutely beautiful, heartfelt and stunning ❤

[@Doit4achewit007]

Brilliant! To watch from beginning and see the art of mindfuck unfold before my eyes.... Nearly a tear because it's sad, but the music geek so gleeful about the 'art' of it at exactly the same time.... Ren does this to all of us! Love your reaction..... Can't believe you're only doing it now tho....❤

[@MrJab1978]

When those strings come in I'm gone every time!
