Psychotherapist Reacts To Ren - Seven Sins

[@highlightspotent127]

Gotta say that your reaction was quite incredible in brining light to so many that may have had this genius track lost on them. Outstanding as Ren always is and you too are a pleasure to watch Cheers from 🇨🇦🍻🙂

[@MusicHealsHQ]

I appreciate that! Thanks for helping me share the healing power of music!

The Welsh at the beginning translates to…Illness is my teacher, It broke my smile, My bones feel old, Here lies the body of REN

[@Dr.Brummel]

Nice reaction 👍❤ 'The Rose That Grew from Concrete' is a poem by Tupac Shakur: “Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's laws wrong, it learned to walk without having feet. Funny, it seems to by keeping it's dreams; it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared.” And 'Stones and Stick' is a children's rhyme against verbal bullying: "Sticks and stones may break my bones. But words shall never hurt me."

[@SandraP3796]

My favorite song on the Sick Boi album. Really enjoyed your analysis of this amazing song. I live with pain like Ren described for 15 years now. I learned that I am a very strong person to cope with all these medical issues.

[@laurentyvangurewitch3940]

Not sure I've seen a better analysis/appreciation of Seven Sins. Brilliant stuff, my friend!

[@MusicHealsHQ]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@spruce381]

@@MusicHealsHQyou definitely analyse and understand the lyric, better than most. Thought he was judging the shooter’s need for attention. Need to rescue Lennon on the ‘bigger than Jesus’ quotation. He was observing how modern media reached millions of people, compared to the five thousand or so who heard Jesus directly. He was not comparing content of either message, but as now, people chose to condemn, before understanding. You’re a good dude. Ta.

[@jameslowther9792]

Absolutely loved your breakdown of this masterpiece and would really love to hear your breakdown of Eden by Ren

[@RainStartsFalling]

I agree wholeheartedly ❤

[@DumpsterDoll.]

Me too

At sixes and sevens" is an English idiom that means to be in a state of confusion, disarray, or disorder

[@STEELMENPODCAST-l4y]

I always liked the use of that phrase in the lyrics of Don't Cry For Me Argentina.

[@jarimaatta3674]

Well analyzed, Sir! English isn't my native language, with you I got even more of Ren's brilliant song.

[@fefa1414]

Same for me. Thank you, Sir. I learn a lot from an excellent profesional like you.

[@MusicHealsHQ]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@EndastJaaa]

Just noticed that you have the Sick Boi vinyl hanging on your wall. I love that! Thank you for an amazing reaction.

[@TheJenoire]

I don't know why, but I've really been putting this one off for awhile. Maybe because I needed to watch it with you? Loved your analysis and appreciation of Ren's mind. He never ceases to amaze me - his intelligence, skill and ability to reach almost all of us that listen is truly top tier. The world is a better place, having him in it. Thank you for this breakdown, I really needed this tonight.

[@jitskebu7582]

If we just had the courage to look at pain the world would look different. Thanks Jim. Enjoy your accurate and heartfelt reactions! 🙏🕊️

[@joshuawiedenbeck6944]

When the Sick Boi album came out, Ren said this was the song he was most proud of. It's full of double meanings. Just two: "Crime scene forensic/ crime scene, for Ren's sick." And "One sin for every one day of the week/ one sin for everyone, day of the weak."

[@Nanersbananers]

Love this song

[@barbaralawrence6226]

I think this might be my favorite reaction of yours. Thank you so much for your in-depth breakdown of this masterpiece. Ren's patreon has a chat specifically for sharing our favorite reaction channel videos. I'm posting yours now, though I have a feeling folks might have beaten me to it. 💖🙋‍♀️

[@Lou-xq9br]

#ren Awesome breakdown 🖤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@tafinzer]

What a great experience how you exposited on this song. Thanks, I deeply enjoyed it.

[@MusicHealsHQ]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@K8TDidToo]

Loved your appreciation of this song. This is an epic story in the Welsh tradition.

[@sampanther8854]

Amazing breakdown ❤️👌☺️

[@kylec1411]

This song is a masterpiece. Beautiful.

[@robingayle68]

Ren's wordplay is amazing 🤩 forensic=for Ren's sick and Onomatopoeia= on a mat I pee (Ren was bedridden for nearly a year)😢❤

[@robingayle68]

BTW great reaction ❤

[@notasheep4255]

Thank you❣️. One of my favorites, plays in my dreams, and I never caught that double ❣️ Appreciate your insight and the new dimensions brought by Music Heals🙏❣️

[@robingayle68]

@notasheep4255 it's one of my favorites as well ❤

[@iamsquatty]

One of my favorites from the sick boi album 🥹💜

[@Shiroar]

Seven Sins is one of my favourite Ren songs. A brilliant and *forensic* dissection of pain *for Ren’s sick*. But he is also breaking down the sins and how they can turn our species into a “sickness” of the world - especially greed. Certainly a rollercoaster of a song as you put it. The song is also just the perfect opening track for the Sick Boi album. When you get deep enough into the rabbit hole to have listened to the full album, you will notice how it’s like a Reniverse tapestry of interconnected lyrics and references with this song hinting at what’s to come. I gotta say though… as Ren keeps growing and more people get to know him, the line “prophets get dropped imagining heaven” is sounding more and more foreboding. He is out there saving lives by giving us hope, inspiring positive change in the world, and asking us to look past our differences to come together as that is the only way he imagines us surviving as a species. There better not be any crazy people out there looking for attention! 🫣 We need Ren in the world ❤🐰🕳️

[@tinagrey571]

Its Welsh 😁

[@lorihutcheon5363]

My absolute favorite off Ren’s album🔥 I almost died when you immediately picked up that the production was an indicator of a roller coaster ride‼️ Thank you Jim for your brilliant breakdown of this masterpiece. You clearly understand Ren’s artistic expression through music in addition to his personal experiences! Probably my favorite and most insightful reaction as of yet! Truly Outstanding 🎉

[@snoox27]

This and Masochist are my favourites.

[@cathrinewitty6749]

While Ren was experiencing psychosis he saw god walk to the edge and jump.

[@1individeo]

True but in Ren everything is a double entendre: It also refers, as said in the video, the loss of those who were his "gods" at time: His best friends who ended their lives

[@TheTigger31]

Love your breakdowns.

[@bodilfrausing7966]

Ren wrote "Seven Sins" at 33. (he actually sings it)😊

[@philhallbrook7008]

Thanks again Jim for another insightful reaction. You're just getting better and better at this. I see that you've already had your informed guess at Welsh confirmed, and been offered a translation. Welsh, of course, being developed in order to use up 'L's when playing Scrabble...

[@MusicHealsHQ]

🤣 Awesome! Thanks

[@francesdoll4039]

The day he fell into psychosis.

[@SandyNoblitt]

Have you heard his song called "Ready" for you? Check that out. It's one of his older songs but still great and also "Hold on".

[@JackiePlage]

Once again, your analysis blows my mind. ❤ I do think this is one of Ren's best songs, it's so deep and intense.

[@patricioeb]

"A rose emerges from a pavement cracks..." Sweet quote.👍 Yet, my favourite is "...the father, the ghost and the holy son" twist. 👌

[@1individeo]

That 's a Tupac quote. The one with cracks. It's actually a song

[@patricioeb]

@@1individeo Good to know. Tupac is a whole pending assignment for me, I will check him out. Thanks.

[@ZephyrsLoki]

I'm watching your video from the place Ren was, in pain. My autoimmune disease lives in my spine, and it's attacking me at its worst right now. I have such anger in this place. This bed has soaked in my tears, sweat, saliva, and blood. But I also know when the pain subsides, I feel doubt and guilt. I'm never sure of the pain, unless I'm feeling it. I doubt myself, do I really feel it? Is it in my head? That comes from 20 years of doctors doubting me. Less doubt lately, as the tests finally prove my pain, but the seed was planted. So even though it's proven now, and the doctors finally have pity... I don't. Unless I'm in pain. I only believe myself when I'm feeling it. Which I am at the moment. I take very strong pain meds now (now that they believe me) but the pain woke me, so I have nothing at the moment. It takes the meds 30-40 minutes to start helping. So it's definitely at its worst when it wakes me up. It feels like there are giant meat hooks in the muscles along my spine. Yes, I can swipe on my phone. 20 years practice makes you pretty good at a thing. I don't remember what my original point was, but I know I'm in the dark right now.

[@RainStartsFalling]

I hope that you find the pendulum swinging the other side soon ❤ my love and thoughts are with you!

[@kellyt5341]

So sorry you are going through this...😢

[@ZephyrsLoki]

@@RainStartsFalling Thank you so much! Any tether I feel to the outside world is golden. I appreciate you! 💜

You are not alone. Keep riding the wave till it settles down and you can rest and find moments of goodness. Then ride the next one. You belong here in the world with us. ​❤ @ZephyrsLoki

[@LaShayHaynes-t8f]

When conscious rap died in the early 2000's i was like "ugh, i guess mumble rap is it for me?" and then NF, logic, techn9ne, joyner lucas, childish gambino came and i was like yes here we go, but Ren is on a whole different and chaotic level. I haven't been trough your catalog yet for Ren but have you done Crutch with BIBI if not please do, i would love to hear your thoughts.

[@1individeo]

You should look more into UK, French or Portuguese Rap you'd be surprised... But if you ain't a polyglot then Just check ANYTHING from Akala, Dave Santan or Lowkey

[@kellyt5341]

I agree with Ren being one of a kind. So multi-talented with multiple instruments, beautiful voice, rap and all his other production skills. 🤗

[@majbrat]

❤❤❤ I love how the complexity of this amazing young nan can be studied. There are so many layered meanings. His years of being forced to lay there, unable to do anything but think, has given him a deep thoughtfulness of many past philosophers who spent years mulling over this existence if ours. Coupled with his surviving pain & agony, mental breaks, and trying to conquer an evil illness with all the damage it has left him with, gives him a very unique insight that flavours his music intricately in my opinion.

[@morecrayonsplzmcw4836]

🔥good job doc

[@Lynxeye-Youtube]

Graphically it is intense... it imposes itself, it enters through the eyes without asking for permission imposing itself through the color and brightness of the graphics and typographic size, and delivers the message without excuses... Do you want to hear it?!... Read it?!... Feel it?!... So there you have it!... Wonderful! Thanks

[@amandablythe6515]

I think this is my favorite of all your Ren reactions. Love it. Im absolutely floored

[@MusicHealsHQ]

Wow, thank you!

[@jude-isaiahcochran602]

3:40 I love how dependent light and shadow are upon each other. Shadow requires light to cast it, but without shadow light would have no meaning. They define each other, one physically, and the other conceptually. Both are just as important as the other.

[@DJLast1977]

Your line about the people walking this earth who died long ago was so powerful. I see much of this song as a narration of a fall from faith, the process of losing trust in the idea of a loving god when your real teacher is constant pain. The explanation of why to reject god reminds me a bit of an older song by German duo Wolfsheim called '"Once in a Lifetime".

[@ambercimburek6872]

I like what he says about pain being a gift. I have extreme physical pain in my life and emotional pain. I am using that to be able to help others as I am getting my masters in counseling.

[@kalenaquinones7963]

I love your extensive breakdowns. Thank you!

[@phylad]

I hadn’t thought of the image of God jumping in Ren’s psychosis as being influenced by Joe’s passing but of course it was

[@jamiereid7428]

All the imagery of Rens pain, and being bedridden and trapped and hopeless, culminating in “tell me how it feels to be buried while you breathe” was too much for me man. Just devastating.

[@Lynds77]

Awesome content, thank you so much for this one we love seeing you react to ren

great insights as always.

[@toniyoung5131]

Ren himself was 33 when he wrote this song.

[@jeffonli]

Ren is agnostic but likes to use religious references

This is one of my favorite Ren songs along with Crucify My Culture. If you ever do an Eminem song I could suggest so many that aren't crazy vulgar but the first to come to mind is his song Beautiful Pain ft. Sia 😊

[@cherrybomb1386]

Have u done his newest song Money Ties yet? Its a great one

[@ryanjackson645]

beleive u could find out on translation for the youtube menu for picking

[@ryanjackson645]

or drop a line to ren

[@ryanjackson645]

if this only ren you have heard all or most his songs make u think

[@BrianRoberts15]

4:27 we're literally born through pain

[@brigitterouleau851]

[@spruce381]

I think Ren chooses to shock fans who see him as any sort of saviour - my take is he wants folk to think. But I agree, we exile the shepherds and follow the sheep, describes much of current media.

[@msays6459]

@MusicHealsHQ Hope you and the rest of the reactor community will join the Renegades in blowing up the first track from his new Slaughterhouse album, which drops Thurs, Nov 21st. Would love it if we could all join forces one again to send our Boi some love & light while he's back in treatment in Canada! It's difficult not to be able to do something to help someone who means so much to all of us, but we can do this and maybe it would give him a bit of a boost and some hope
