I love how you love Ren so much that you can't help but bring everyone else to him to react as well.

[@mckalcm7494]

TRUTH!

[@Brown614]

Same homie

[@jenniferedwards9005]

I was gonna say same thing. Idk how many I've seen him introduce to Ren. Its been quite a few and I'm here for it.. Love it!

[@Rosannasfriend]

That's the way he does things. He's done it with Harry Mack for about 2 years now. Always introducing his guests to everything Harry Mack does. The guy is a genius freestyle rapper, check him out! A lot of people who are not even into rap or into that guy, he makes it very approachable to everybody to watch.

[@Printed_Riffs]

I do this to strangers at truck stops lol.

[@kennethmichael5404]

Ren will be 33 on March 29th, he'll be releasing a new song on that day. The pig character in the beginning is a recurring theme in his videos, it represents the doctors and therapists that have essentially been butchering him for years through their misdiagnosis. I agree 100%, if not for what he has gone through, would he have ever made this amazing piece of art that is "Hi Ren"? Maybe not, though he has made some amazing music even before "Hi Ren". His suffering has shaped his art and the world has now discovered him through it, and we get to experience the artistry and genius of his talents. He writes his own lyrics, plays multiple instruments (guitar, bass, piano, drums, keyboards) mixes and makes his own beats, sings, raps, shoots his own videos, beat boxes...he's EXTREMELY talented. His well deserved recognition is long overdue.

[@sianradford237]

I concur.....And the greatest gift he gives us through this video is the reminder our our own humanity and vulnerability. I'm a 66 year old woman who went down the Ren rabbit hole a week ago. I've fallen in love with rap because of Ren. He's taken me to the chambers of my own heart and echoed in placed I never knew existed and I want to remain there..... I wish you well................

[@kennethmichael5404]

This is the kind of artistry that gives "broken" people hope. Ren, through this performance piece, has become to a lot of people exactly what he stated in the song, "...the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope". So powerful, so impactful. The song structure itself is incredible. It starts off as a battle between his positive (Angel) and negative (Demon) aspects, the negative then makes an overpowering last ditch effort to reign supreme, but ultimately fails as the final act, being the "God" aspect, emerges Triumphant, though still acknowledging and accepting that it will ALWAYS be a battle because we are all "a coin with 2 different sides". It's a beautifully cathartic and raw musical masterpiece. Ren is truly special. Welcome to the Ren rabbit-hole, it's a trip worth taking. This was the 4th take he did and yes, it was done live. Wait until you hear some of his other stuff, especially his storytelling ("The Tale of Jenny & Screech"). You haven't even touched the breadth of this young man's talent yet. #PerformanceArtPinnacle

[@char_lou]

Ren's insight, and his articulation and portrayal of his thoughts is so intelligent, honest and raw ❤

[@mjdagnino]

"...the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope" This is one of the most powerful lines I have ever heard. Knowing anyone who has thought of or tried to take their own lives... it just screams real life issues.

[@Mike_H76]

Be wary of anyone that claims they aren't at all "broken", they are probably the MOST "broken"! We're all a facking mess.

[@ydo-bc5wj]

So true! Also, hi Kenneth! So nice to see you again, after that epic 8 hour Renathon by That's Not Acting Either!

[@thehazelinthejane]

That was incredibly well put. Thank you for voicing so eloquently how so many of us feel about Ren.

[@rbbea]

Man, Ren spent years locked in his bed in pain misdiagnosed with Bi-polar and Chronic Fatigue syndrome before he was finally correctly diagnosed with Lymes Disease. It ravaged his body and brain. He’s has stem cell treatment which helped and now he’s in Canada having specialist treatment. Also when he was young a friend committed suicide and it had a huge effect on him. So when you mention foreshadowing you hit the nail. He’s struggled with suicidal thoughts thinking he couldn’t go on in pain and living in his bed while life went on. The fact that he’s been able to get through this has given him an insight and a maturity beyond his years. I believe it also made him realize that he wanted to do his own thing and not be controlled by a record company.

[@elenaorujev3494]

Ren started making and selling beats as a young teen. Writes his own songs. Such clever word play! So versatile!

[@ceciliasilvera9799]

Hi Ren is a spiritual awakening, both the realization that we all know them, the devil inside and the divine. With our human selves smacked down in the middle. And in his own story where he overcomes it. It’s truly a multi faceted story of awakening

[@justinatest9456]

'Losing It' is absolutely bananas for a rap song. "How To Be Me (live)" with Chinchilla is beautiful.

[@JustInvertedFpv]

The live performance of how to be me is amazing. The way their voices go together and the control and range Chinchilla has is nuts!

[@TheChristafershawn]

Agreed, Really looking for them to check out both of those. Heretic, Diazepam and Crutch would also be interesting to see them check out as they are a totally different from the rest.

[@fsot4524]

Цікаво, багато українців слухать Рена? :)

[@jonasmandersson]

Yes, these two please! The live version of How to be me, with Ren and Chinchilla on top of a bridge, with a song about the early departure of Rens friend Joe. Makes me cry at the end every single time. So damn soulful and emotional.

[@steviesbadtv]

No. It’s good. But life is funny as much better….🤷🏻‍♂️

[@smack_pop7]

😂😂 this is awesome,thank you man for getting this ppl to see Ren is so fun watching their reaction and YOURS to their reaction ❤️❤️❤️looveee it, so awesome 😎

[@helenjarvis7755]

Ren writes his own raps, songs and beats. He does covers and uses other peoples samples too. There is nothing musically he can't do. Music just pours out of him. I'm happily hooked

[@patparker4280]

"he's actually kinda lyrical" 😂😂 you don't say lol. Loving this reaction

[@ginamakescrochet]

Yes PLEASE more Ren! The acoustic live version of Genesis is amazing, please react to that too, you can just feel the emotion behind the lyrics. It’s incredible.

[@kdavidreeves]

This was great. I would love to see you guys react to 'Jenny and Screech' full trilogy, 'Wade in the Water' with Big Push and 'Money Game pts 1 and 2'. Great to see and so many good points made; especially we may not have seen curent Ren if he had continued with Sony which was (fortunately in my mind since they likely would have put restrictions on his talent) derailed by his illness. Please Don do more Ren.

[@eddiebirdie1545]

I couldn't agree more Rens very unfortunate illness could well be a blessing in disguise, Sony would have undoubtedly restricted his output, all the best from Eddie Birdie 🐦.

[@margaritasaloscerdos5]

hahaha I second this petition for the 3 songs haha :)

[@JensRandolff]

"Chalk Outlines" touches me deeply no matter how many times I watch this video or hear this song. Ren has been able to express through his songs what I have been unsuccessfully trying to communicate to others regarding my mental, emotional, and physical struggles. I would recommend you also check out Ren's other collaboration with Chinchilla, the "How to Be Me" live version, as well as their busking sessions in Brighton, performing “Sexual Healing” (Marvin Gaye cover) and “One Dance / Drunk in love” (Drake/Beyoncé cover). As for "Chalk Outlines," it is one of my favorite songs right now; it is beautiful yet sad. The studio version is also incredible. However, in my personal opinion, it does not come close to the live version. This performance is so much more raw, emotional, and visceral, and Chinchilla's performance here elevates the song to a whole new plain. I wish the live version would be available on Spotify. Someone (Obj Owl @JoesTheBestInTheWorl) shared his interpretation, I think fittingly so, “The sound of the folding chair opening up fills the empty space with echoes emanating from the walls and then diminishes. Ren uses this to compose the song, with Chalk Outlines representing the empty space that he feels within. Chinchilla, who also emerges from the walls and echos Ren throughout and suitably for an echo, has the last word, leaving a dark empty space. It's dark on the gallows.” Given Ren's medical history, I assume this song addresses mental illness diagnoses, and prescription psychotropics, which leave you emotionally dead (hence, the chalk outlines around your dead self). Even on a relatively good day when you might not want to take your pills, you take them "just in case," and you never truly enjoy "being ok because all things change," i.e., your well-being is usually short-lived and followed by another bout with depression. In her opening line, Chinchilla even mentions the antidepressant (SSRI) "Sertraline" and references serotonin. I can attest to the reality of this; for over 15 years, I was prescribed a cocktail of max doses of psychotropics, including Sertraline, until I decided to carefully wean myself off all medications in 2014. The side effects of the drugs were too many and too severe, left me an emotional zombie, and the benefits were negligible. I rather feel pain than nothing at all.

[@crunchydragontreats6692]

The Army of Ren marches on. Grab your ketchup and crunch away my friends.

[@kp-iv2mp]

This song breaks barriers. I’ve had bipolar 1 w mania and psychosis for 28 years. To my knowledge, no one has quite come out like this when it comes to mania and psychosis. When I was diagnosed, mental illness was a cuss word. So this is very moving.

[@britpackdog4545]

Stay strong kp. God loves you

[@jasonguest5820]

Ren x Chinchilla - "How To Be Me" is one you gotta hear too, like others are saying. It's pretty haunting if you can figure out what it's about right away. Also, they both kill it on the vocals, of course.

[@jeremyeldredge8405]

Gotta love that reaction videos of Ren are now reactors sharing Ren to get other people reactions. Shows how impactful his music is.

[@sicmuvva11]

There is an old quote “Not by age but by disposition, is wisdom acquired” he has been through it alright. love the reaction!

[@nthsum5509]

Yes. Keep showing people Ren.

[@wilky952]

I'm flabbergasted that from 5 seconds of guitar your man established Ren is not only British but that he also blends genre's. Mans a genius.

[@TheRoSho]

Im loving this introducing others to multiple Ren songs at a time. It so highlights his range.

[@Eclecticompany]

'What you want' is a fun homage to the 90s. 'The Hunger', and 'Losing It', are two of his best raps.

[@rustyshak1857]

add "What you want" to those suggestions

[@jonasmandersson]

Have to say this is one of the best reaction channels I’ve ever come across. There are a few others analyzing singing and guitar playing, but this is up there. Love your open-ness and respect for the artists.

[@Gearmeshkutt]

You need to keep going with Ren. There is so much going on with Ren. It is worth seeing new people taking this type of art in. Keep up the good work.

[@lindapease620]

His beats, his lyrics he's the whole package! Do 'Losing It'.retake. The energy in that rap is insane! YES do more do more!!!

[@MrNifts]

Subbed, noticed and love how you been sharing and pushing Ren's music. Respect from UK

[@sassyslsgrl]

Love all Ren content... losing it, blind eye, crutch... Sooo many masterpieces

[@salishseamermaid]

Love it! Do more!! Ren has said that for a long time he didn't think he'd love to see 30, because he was so sick, so you picking up on that sentiment wasn't too far off. However, he'll turn 32 on the 29th of this month, and is releasing a new song that day. 😊 And yes, Chalk Outlines is an original song, and yes, he makes his own beats and samples.v

[@stephaniegeer1691]

I've watched you introduce Ren to another friend of yours and I loved it sooo much I'm watching this one too!! 😃Your original reaction to Hi Ren was so much fun as well,im here for all of it!! Thank you for spreading the word about how amazing Ren is!!😄🎶✌

[@IronRaspberry]

Ren will be 33 on the 29th. And yes this is a Ren original and he writes his own music. Have Don react to Ren’s trilogy and The Big Push “I shot the sheriff/road to Zion/hiphop”, and you should also check out “Money Game part 1 & 2”… and “What You want” for a real old-school vibe.

[@char_lou]

Ren is a busker, so he is experienced performing live. Yes, he is high level creative! And chinchilla is gorgeous and so so talented too

[@ramonacooper2283]

The live version of Genesis is sooo good too. “Losing it”is a must see and personally I really love his band The Big Push, their Bob Marley covers are awesome. Also Bongo Bong with the Big Push. Sam Tomkins and Ren doing Earned it, Mans World and Falling is epic. 😁✨

[@J.LS.]

I've read that he was signed to Sony but they dropped him after getting sick. Also supposedly he started music making beats. He's an amazing talent

[@amygone2pot]

That was a great way to react to Ren, covering more of his range in one sitting. It just makes him tower higher before the rest of us.

[@rbfromsd6432]

Glad Don is back!! I’ve watched numerous Hi Ren reactions and nobody compared it to Bohemian Rhapsody…I thought that the first thing I watched it.

[@christygill1632]

Oh yes! More Ren reactions for Don please! Definitely do the Tales with him and keep it coming after that! Loooooove this! I am really enjoying the fact that you are putting Ren out there in front of others and bringing us along for the ride!

[@danalynn2404]

I can't listen to Chalk Outlines without crying. My daughter had a chemical imbalance at 16 that caused her to suicidal and I spent 2 years hovering around her to make sure she lived threw it. She grew out of the worst and learned to manage the remains of it. Don't ever give in. There is light at the end of every struggle ❤

[@rbruceBruce]

The Tale of Jenny and Screech will blow both of your minds. Just make sure you do the full version with Violets Tale. Rap Money Game 2, life is Funny and the lighter side Power. Great job as always 👏

[@Fo-Flats]

Definitely keep this going guys! Love the way BP is helping spread love for Ren. It's a wonderful thing to watch the spell of his music take hold of other people.

[@gothbaubles]

Thank you both for wonderful perspective and your reaction and thoughts on Ren. He's and anomaly. One that I can't stop listening to, watching and waiting with anticipation for his next drop. I can count on one hand how many bands/artist I can say that about these days. Not bad for an independent artist that bucks the trend of labels telling you what is going to sell the most music and make the most money. Finally, an nobody artist comes out of the blue and great tribulations in his life, with self principles who simply has something profound to say and wants to share with the world based on real experience. Fame and fortune be dammed. He is about to receive both of those things into his life doing it his way. Glorious.

[@char_lou]

Well said ❤

[@Mozza1207]

Hell yeah! More Ren!

[@cbird02]

Totally epic Ren session! Great trio selection to highlight his versatility. Encore: Jenny & Screech, Sheriff/ Zion/Hip Hop and end with What You Want (serious old school beastie boys style) or Losing It(House beat with crazy punchlines and flows). That way, he gets the bard, the band, and you get a new first-time rap song

[@MrNocolon21]

For rap: What you want. I’m also 43… trust me you’ll recognize the vibe.

[@natejosich]

Yo that was fire! Thanks for putting Ren on my radar

[@Donjuanabe]

One! What’s up fam! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@PeteFindsObscureStuff]

I love when you get your buddies in to react. Quality!!!

[@loganyarborough7783]

Loved this and that you are actively introducing more people to Ren! I always think of Deadpool talking to the camera when I define breaking the 4th wall lol

[@cas9065]

I love your make others watch Ren reactions! This was such a joy. All of these are 100% Ren, beat and all.

[@cas9065]

Yes, please, do more!

[@ciaranl7590]

Loved it! More please! ! Like everyone commenting, recently discovered Ren and now addicted. I was a huge Prince fan and for similar reasons. Generational talent. 🤯

[@JensRandolff]

As always, great reaction. I really enjoy the format of your reaction videos, introducing your friends and fellow artists to Ren. I have posted the following comment on at least one of your other reactions. In case you, or your audience missed it, here it is again. I will spare everyone the lengthy Ren catalog post I usually share. Here is some additional information on Ren's story that I gathered from old newspaper interviews, articles, and Ren's livestreams and posts where he discussed his condition. Ren Erin Gill is a British musician/independent artist; born in Wales on March 29, 1990; he eventually moved to Brighton. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, he began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. In 2010, he was signed by Sony Records and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue and subsequently dropped by Sony. Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led him to experience psychosis. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure. Ren is currently in Calgary, Canada for more treatments, including surgeries, and will have to be there for at least six months (Summer of 2023). Ren’s Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder, which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, adrenals, as well as his bones/joints. Ren’s recent wisdom tooth removal went well, and the infection in his jaw following the cavitation surgery has finally cleared up; Ren is able to eat solid food again. Let's keep supporting Ren as he undergoes his treatments. Check out and subscribe to his channel, listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to this generation, and his work is needed in these troubling times. Someone has finally created a Wikipedia page for Ren, so there is additional information available. Here is the link to Ren’s GoFundMe page to raise money for his current treatment. www.gofundme.com/f/ren-get-better-from-lyme-disease-and-autoimmunity

[@crunchydragontreats6692]

You post em. I find em. Bump. The Army of Ren marches on. Grab your ketchup and crunch away my friends.

[@leeankt]

I’d definitely watch more Ren videos! I like that you start with Hi Ren and have started to react to stuff you haven’t seen before. I think you’d dig the old school sound of his song What You Want if you haven’t heard it yet. Super fun nostalgic vibe.

[@lizgander9172]

50+ year old here… not into rap or hip hop but damn, I’m into Ren. And through him I’ve now found several other folks, like yourselves (hi Don… nice smile you got there 😊) and I’m so enjoying watching you have the same reactions I’m having discovering this talent. This unique talent, I feel so very grateful to be able to immerse myself in. And he can sing! Lord he can sing. Like a demented angel or something. Unbelievable. God DAMN he moves me.

[@ChrisLawton66]

The man is a musical genius. You guys have some fantastic insights. Keep bringing on the Ren. We need to hear more great, diverse music. Don, you're new to me, but you definitely know your shit.

[@nateekis3982]

“Power” would be sick! WHAT YOU WANT” is a great one. Also “Bittersweet Symphony”

[@LeeannG]

More! More! More! Great reaction as always. Living for these convos with your guests. Sad it had to come to an end :(

[@benstarmes6356]

Loved this react, glad you finally got to see Chalk Outlines live etc. Our man REN is so versatile it's ridiculous

[@Shiroar]

Love seeing this videos where you bring more people down the Ren rabbit hole 🐰 🕳️ Oh also I highly recommend Crutch feat Bibi for another beautiful and emotional song. And maybe the song Blind Eyed with Sam - but the live version featuring angry car park attendant cause it’s a blast and you get to see them casually killing the song while stuff goes wrong. The talent is ridiculous.

[@AndaraBledin]

Hey, Don, welcome to the RENaissance. Samuel Perry-Falvey is the cinematographer for much of Ren's work, and he commented on another reaction that they did a total of 4 tries and the vid is a 2-fer. One take for the fixed cameras and another for the handheld 'cause if you tried to go in one take, you'd get the handheld in the fixed cam shots. I can't wait for your reaction on The Tale of Jenny & Screech. It's got nearly everything. Amazing guitar, incredible acting, a deep story, and Sam's outstanding camera-work.

[@jmango2636]

My absolutely favourite line in Genesis is “Pupils dilate in the dark people die late in the dark” Ridiculous

[@cherylmack1260]

It took me a few listens to this but I finally realize that his high pitch woohooo singing was also done in the 5th element as a performance. Kudos to him for making it his own in this great production of good and bad, dark and light, angels and demons psychological performance.

[@patparker4280]

I understand that Ren is dropping his next song, Illest in the World, on 29th which will be his 33rd birthday.

[@HarryWful]

You definitely need to check out his rap retake of 'Losing it" and his song " what you want"

[@char_lou]

Admiration and respect for Ren's talent goes up every time I see his hi ren masterpiece. Interesting to see your reactions, and analysis guys cheers ❤

[@lostcomicjunkie2724]

Chalk Outlines. My fave. The beginning I knew something special, with vocals, was foreshadowed. The snap of the chair sets it all up. Echos right down that hall. Kills me every time. Chinchilla opens with "Sertraline and a sip of serotonin" 😮. The duet is just, no words...

[@MissMeKate]

I love these so much, it's brilliant when you introduce people to Ren and watch their heads explode trying to figure out what he is. Really hope you keep doing these! Loved the different insights today, and the way each person you've shown Ren's stuff brings something new to the table.

[@annebiebrich9155]

He was with Sony but they dropped him when he got sick. He's a solo artist and with his band are super popular in Brighton, England and were doing live concerts ! There last concert was 4 or 6 ,months ago because Ren had to leave for Canada to get the treatments

[@darcieturner5423]

Very enjoyable! Money game 2 is also great, can't wait to see the trilogy! xo

[@Amenras]

Keep this ish up! Ren is such a talented person that you need to keep spotlighting. There's so much for both of you to see of his.

[@ChrisJones-we4in]

The connection between Ren and Chinchilla is immense. I really urge you to check out and react to another one of their duets How To Be Me Live - again written by Ren. Others have already mentioned the story behind the song but it is even more heart wrenching and the connection between the two of them is perhaps even stronger. There are also some videos of Ren and Chinchilla busking together which are well worth checking out - they are both supremely talented.

[@TheChristafershawn]

Ren actually turns the infamous 33 on March 29th. He has a new track dropping that day as well. All three of these songs were written by our boy.

[@skater61991]

Really liked this reaction! Look forward to the next installment!

[@StanHowse]

The breaking of the 4th wall was literally THE first comment I ever left on the OG vid, when I first seen it.. Not only does he do that, but it's so seething, sarcastic, and cutting.. You couldn't make it up. You couldn't manufacture that. That is 110% Human at it's (Ren) finest. It's ABSOLUTLEY, psychologically, Perfect. Text book duality of Man. This is Masterful like Shakespeare. (Sidenote Ren is NOT "talking to the Devil")

[@Microplancakes]

Yes, Ren makes all his own beats, mixes his own sounds and music!! He writes and produces!! He plays guitar and piano and is an all round amazingly talented fellow!!! You've got to listen to Ren and his band, The Big Push!! War Pigs!! Please do!! Your mind will be blown!!

[@po_xy]

Thank you for introducing Ren to so many people

[@raygrapes7391]

I have watched over 50 reactions to Hi Ren and can say that without fail not one person has failed to say that it doesn’t feel like a 9 min song. And I personally forget that still when I watch it because it never feels like it’s that long. He grips your attention so well you don’t think about time.

[@JustVisiting_]

I've listened to the song that many times and I was shocked to learn it was 9 minutes

Another rap - there is still so many golden nuggets Money Game 2 with serious message, Hold On, Love Music 2 and 3 for wild fun, Ocean, Humble ft Eden Nash (another divine voice)

I've been loving "Heretic" and it has some really great lines in it! I think he should hear "The Hunger" as it shows off the layers of style, flow, and lyrical ability. If you want to do one with Sam Tompkins, do "blind eyed" for one you haven't seen yet either. I really like the version of it live on the street corner. There are several of them doing it live though.

[@MizCriz46]

When you're aware of the years he had been in pain - terrible physical as well as mental pain - the line that his music gives him "a purpose I can rest in" becomes very significant.

[@dianeemanuel8541]

He writes his own songs abd beats and does his own production. Look at his Retakes- Bittersweet Symphony, Loosing It. It would be interesting to do a reaction listening to an original video or song and REN’s retake.

Songs you should check out. "What you want", is a nod to Beastie boys. And his new song "Losing it" . Both are fire. I just recently discovered Ren and loving everything I've seen. Thanks for the reactions they are alot of fun.

I love Ren so much. Chinchilla’s voice always gives me the shivers. Their voices sound so good together.

[@brigittemainella6412]

Please do this again! Loved it! My suggestions are the Trilogy of Jenny and Screech, How To Be Me, I Shot the Sheriff, Losing It, I Love Music 1 -3, and The Money Game 1 -2! Love your reactions and your guests!😊

I love how there is so much to break down and see/hear in his performances and even tho ive seen hi ren 5 times i just this time picked up on the L.D highlighted on the back of the chair i'm assuming for his lime disease . like when he talks about poison in his veins as he has a tick and head twitch in hunger to represent being bitten by a tick . love the reactions keep it up

[@kennethmichael5404]

DEFINITELY do the "Tale of Jenny and Screech". For rap you need to do "Power" and "What you want", (Of course "Hunger" and "Losin' it" if you haven't already), but for singing, check out some of his Big Push stuff like "Precious" and one of my personal favorites, "It's Alright" (live). Live street performances with Big Push are great as well, especially "I shot the sheriff". He also does another live one with Chinchilla called "How to be me" (a song written for a friend (Joe) who committed suicide). He also did some collabs with singer Eden Nash, one I really like is called "Humble". ALL of them are worth your time.

If you really want to see Rens Rapping and Writing ability, I suggest you plug into Ren - Love Music pt3. It floors me every time..

This channel is quickly becoming one of my favourites. I found it following Hi Ren reactions but it's opened up so much amazing content. Plus your own music is awesome too. I want to see Don's reaction to The Big Push's I shot the sheriff. Dominoes by Ren is also a must. It only has a lyric video, but that won't stop you getting immersed in what he says. So many other songs worth a listen too. Losing It comes to mind, just so you can hear yet another facet to Ren's artistic ability.

I know he lost his best friend to suicide at 19 and that can definitely make you think about what you want to leave behind. Then to have Lyme disease it makes sense for him to think about things like that. The song How to be Me with Chinchilla is about his friend and is absolutely chilling!

[@Umdude77]

Yeah!!!! Tale of Jenny and Screech, How to be me (live), The Hunger or Losing It. Love the reactions!!!

Giving your appreciation of genesis I recommend reacting to What went wrong 1&2 - Ren X Sam Tompkins And Blind eyed - ren x Sam Tompkins (this was the track that introduced me to both of them)

Great re-action, thanks for explaining the fourth wall, you read between the lines of that so very well. loved Dons perspective where you been hiding him excellent, the pod cast just got better. Let me return that fourth wall explanation with some information maybe you dont know. The reference within the lyrics " She sells sea shells" refers to Rens tune Money Game (part 2) , you should check it out the lyrics in this rhym schem are Genius. I would love to see your oppinion of Money game there are three parts but part 2 is the bomb out of the three. Big Love keep up the good work. Just love you chanel x

The green stuff with the fish and chips isn't guacamole, it's mushy peas. Literally mashed up peas.
