How can 1 man make all of us sit and enjoy a piano piece when most of us would never dream of seeking out something in this genre

[@meag_aperry]

Imo, you're missing out if you don't listen to this genre❤

[@MsCheesemonster13]

@@meag_aperry You are right of course. Ren is blurring the lines between the genres for us, and teaching us to appreciate all good music.

[@cas9065]

@@MsCheesemonster13 My sentiment exactly. Reactors do something similar, I think. The ones that are open to exploring new horizons take a lot of us with them. There are certain things I don't clock on, but I usually give everything at least one chance. I have found so many new artists, but also get to understand so many perspectives that I normally wouldn't encounter.

[@GeminiPurPower]

Ren said it was only six months after his buddy Joe jumped off the bridge and committed suicide, his other friend Callum died. Two friends in 6 months. That’s a heavy load. Beautiful tribute.

[@Annie_MaycoxMUA]

Have you watched disco doc’s reaction to this it’s beautifully done with all the info there. I remember when it happened it really shook the local community x

[@Bizcutdaartist]

To be mom a was

[@Bizcutdaartist]

When I had finished crying I sent him a message to his his website and I didn't expect to get an answer but he actually wants to talk to me because of how I felt and he did and it was the most amazing experience and he sent me a voicemail just so I😅

[@Bizcutdaartist]

He truly cares about his fans and I really understand his pain and he understood mine so that's it I just wanted to let you know he's such a kind

[@Bizcutdaartist]

I the Bob Dylan effect was I had to do with pieces on it in college and did Bob Dylan would take a song and captivate anybody with it and he started singing people were immediately drawn to him he suffered a lot in his life and friends doing the same thing I noticed that he anybody he captivates with his music I think it's safe to say that we're going to the renbeffect when I did my study of it was in college and you guys were teachers so you probably know about this it was people that had that kind of ability had a lot of tragedy and a lot of suffering and pain in their life and they were able to take pay back their pain and their tragedy and trauma to the world to music or through whatever they were gifted with are I'm an artist myself and I've been an artist on the street for 20 years and I can tell you this he affected this artist big time and that takes a lot

[@arielbussart1305]

In the premier, Ren was in chat letting us know there were no lyrics, and he wanted us to think of anyone we've lost while listening. That this goes out to all the loved ones no longer with us in the physical world. I also feel that "see you on the other side" sad, not bawling/angry sad, but I'm so grateful I knew you and you're always on my mind sad. And yes, Ren also writes/composes most of his music. In MG3, he wrote everything from the words, to the piano to the strings. Fully self-taught by slowing down KZbin videos.

[@maximus6622]

A Scotsman on another channel, said that in Scotland, it's pronounced " Muck-Eye " Your American, will let you off 😂 Beautiful tribute to Callum ❤ RIP Callum. Also to the brave lad Lewis who lost his life trying to save Callum. God bless them both 🙏

[@jessietucker9342]

Wow, that was cryptic, I understand we need to respect the loss, leaves me wondering how the loss happened. RIP

[@Colleen998]

@@jessietucker9342 Watch Disco Doc’s reaction to Mackay to learn more about the story.

[@catsandcrafts171]

In England we would say m'k-eye, the emphasis on the 'eye' part.

[@StrawhatDynasty]

Thanks for understanding the accent! And yes it was very beautiful

[@matildafishes9931]

I found it interesting that you both swayed the whole reaction. I've never seen you do that while recording before. His theme of the sway between the sadness and happiness takes hold of me, too! ❤ R.I.P. Ren's friends Joe and Callum. And let us not forget Lewis Darroch, who perished while trying to rescue Callum. Thank you to Ren for honoring their lives with such love. The emotion is riveting.

[@Silkytoaster]

Did not know that - havent heard the story behind Callums passing yet .

[@Calmontheoutside]

@@SilkytoasterDisco Doc did the full story-even Prince William was involved.

[@Professor_Greenleaf]

Probably will never happen, but after listening to this I would LOVE Ren to release a full instrumental album. That shit would be fire.

[@scottrobertson2426]

Not sure if you're up for electronic music but I'd urge you to try koan sounds album from.last year. It's one of the greatest pieces of music I ever heard.

[@sistermoon1970]

Look at you both rocking yourselves for comfort 🥰 everyone seems to pick up the same emotions, I described it as beautifully painful/painfully beautiful ❤️

[@StrawhatDynasty]

I agree! It was awesome in so many ways !

[@coleeg69]

HEY! You can't trick us by switching spots! I saw what you did 😆 🤣 👀

[@Cdaddy78]

😆 twins love those games. 🤫

[@mldkenny]

Stunning performance, such an inspired piece of work. The reactor Disco Doc has done an amazing backstory to this tribute, really worth watching as it goes very deep.

[@StrawhatDynasty]

We’ll check it out !

[@daniellegotheridge6406]

Love how you both are still swaying to the melody way after the track finishes... self soothing. Would love to see videos of you both just break dancing... an art that has become lost.

[@user-tz3dh6bu1p]

I got from the piece, it is a letter to a friend with love of a friend joy from the friendship a little confusion why you left , and the promise that came from his support growing up that I can do it and do something great. And I will send you this letter from a mountain top to be sure you heard it . I hear this is somewhere in Alberta ? And final in his letter is I will see you again and I love and miss you !! Just my impression and take I got from it . OPINION that's all. And you guys should do 2 his big push, I shot the sheriff-road to Zion & rap. Then his Murderer live on acoustic. Both are really good his guitar and singing .. Thanks guys NICE !

[@dezkenob1]

@StrawhatDynasty - You guys just "get it". Your ability to show and share your own emotions and thoughts is lovely to see. You understand when something is sad or happy or in-between. I've watched all of your Ren reactions and they are all great. You're both so genuine. You know what you're talking about when it comes to rap in particular but you also appreciate other styles and genres and it shows that you listen to your watchers when they give suggestions or advice on maybe what things you react to. Personally, I just want to see you make your way through Ren's extensive catalogue of music from his solo work, his collaborations, his duets, his busking (Street performing if you're not sure what busking is), his music from when he was part of a band called "The Big Push" and also "Trick the Fox" from many years ago, his retakes and just about everything he does. I can't think of another artist from my 50 years on this planet that has touched me as much as Ren has. Keep up the great work and please also show us some of your Break Dancing. I've seen very small snippets but I want more. 😁 ❤

[@StrawhatDynasty]

These are the type of comments we live for !! thank you so much for noticing our efforts to stand out from the rest of the reaction/break down community, We really appreciate it, and yes we will be taking a deeper dive into RENS collabs and older works from when he was with " The Big Push ". Thank you so much - The Strawhat Twins

[@dezkenob1]

@@StrawhatDynasty You're welcome. I watch a lot of reactors and there's only a handful that I just love to watch, especially when it comes to Ren and you guys are on that list. Keep doing what you're doing because you're doing a great job. ❤️

[@Professor_Greenleaf]

Nailed it guys. I’ve watched a lot of these reactions and your summary of the feelings you experienced was the most comprehensive and relatable. “Closure”. Perfect.

[@StrawhatDynasty]

Thank you!

[@musochickburns8212]

Ren as always... so moving... so expressive.. such skill and authenticity 💕💔🥲

[@coleeg69]

"Suic!de" has to be next for his other friend JOE. Tribute for his friends. For Joe is the acoustic ish version of Suic!de

[@jonathonfleming8679]

For Joe is actually a piece built off verses from several songs about Joe and the piece was used to raise money for the search and rescue team that searched for Joe.

[@StrawhatDynasty]

We will get to it!

[@noctuscp]

This is a perfect example of how music can transcend words and make a feel what is hard to express otherwise. During Ren's live debut of this song he had everyone start putting the names of those they had lost in the chat. He has a way of bringing together people from all walks of life, it was absolutely beautiful.

[@StrawhatDynasty]

It was amazing

[@LifeUpgradeTV]

You both look so beautifully entranced by this. Thanks for sharing. I love your reactions and good vibes. ❤

[@StrawhatDynasty]

Thank you! We truly were!

[@feighfarr8393]

The piano, Was the voice..you felt every word of Mackay ~ didnt you? That was a love letter.

[@StrawhatDynasty]

We truly did. I myself (trix) was somewhat choked up and trying to be composed but the melodies reminded me of close family I’ve lost recently

[@KitstormUno]

I love how we can see how this made you feel, you continue to rock, back and forth, long ofter the song was over. He can make you feel and you don’t even realize how deep you feel it.

[@StrawhatDynasty]

The power of music !

[@grandmabaddie]

Thank you guys for a great reaction to a beautiful piano piece by the incredible Ren ❤

[@StrawhatDynasty]

Thank you for tuning in!

[@newguy2878]

It's amazing how ren can make us feel.

[@StrawhatDynasty]

It really is

[@jukeboxdave6026]

Great reaction guys music from the soul that touches over people's souls 🙏

[@SpiritOfWanderlust]

I feel like going directly from reacting to "The Hunger" to reacting to "Mackay" is pretty much the perfect encapsulation of just how diverse an artist Ren really is. You do not get further apart in terms of genre/style, and he kicks the ass of both.

[@PoliticallyPink]

Your rocking was a treat to watch! Kinda weird, but worth it! Thank you!

[@benballard-ho7tu]

Ren has a unique ability to instantly bring a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye. There are a few of his songs that I listen to with a clenched jaw and tight lipped. I've lost a couple of friends in similar circumstances to Ren. It's one facet of why he resonates so much with me. There's a cathartic catalyst element to his music for me. One day I'd like to shake his hand, give him a hug, say a big heartfelt Thankyou to him and explain why.

[@user-vp1qw1ft2k]

The beauty of Ren is you never know what he's going to do but I can guarantee it will be fire, raw and absolutely creative, I've listened to him for almost a year now and am far from being bored, just pure talent, it's just a shame he had has to suffer for it, ironically and selfishly I'm glad, spot on reaction btw

[@toniyoung5131]

A couple of music and piano teachers told us about the actual chords Ren played that evoke a certain emotion, such as melancholy, as you said. He's a very clever young man. 😍

[@Shiroar]

I’m very rarely into purely instrumental music, but this somehow felt like Ren was playing words. A stunning and perfect tribute to his friend 🖤🐰🕳️

[@dancerbird76]

I can see the impact that this piece has had on you…..think that this is the beauty of an instrumental piece…..it allows us to feel the music and talk about the emotions it evokes. Love your reaction…..💜 A few people have already mentioned this but I would definitely recommend checking out Disco Doc’s reaction to this…..it gives the full story and, as with all his reactions, so well put together. Thanks guys…..oh and we noticed the seat change for this one. 💜😉

[@optimistinmyprime]

I agree it feels like a sense of (recent) closure. Through his music Ren seems to have shown us every stage of grief over the years. (and this is filmed in Drumheller, Alberta, Canada).

[@JamisonGallagher]

Can definitely tell y'all twins. Subliminally swaying in unison . You even stop and start at the same times. TWINNN SEEENNNSE!!!

[@sonicfear4472]

You asked the question if Ren reads and writes music, he studied music at Bath University, so yes he can read and write music in the traditional sense. But in regards to instrumentation, he is self taught when it comes to guitar, piano, cello and other instruments.

[@lisaeaker9064]

This honestly was the most beautiful and impactful thing because it's without words but yet no matter who you are and what your going thru it brings up that emotion

[@guppie19833]

can't help to giggle a little when u guys simultaneously began to move side to side. the first and last part of this piece reminded me of the song he wrote for Joe, Freckled angels.

Oooof. It’s early here and a holiday so I’m chilling with a coffee and your reaction. You guys got me good. 😢❤ Your self soothing sway you both are doing, even after the music ended is how it feels to watch it. As others mentioned, he lost Joe and Callum within 6months of each other. The song Suic!de was for Joe but a big old warning on that. It’s devastating beautiful. Took me awhile to be okay from that song. Another brilliant reaction. You guys never leave anything out. You nail it every time. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I know this one was heavy so take care of yourselves. Until the next one. Much love. ❤️ ❤️ PS For someone who isn’t hip and cool, what do we call you as individuals?
