*REACTION* Ren - Hold On

[@Codex7777]

Although Ren's still seriously ill, he was in a REALLY bad place when he wrote this. Bedridden for years, in constant, unrelenting chronic pain, unable to sleep properlybecause of this, for years! Much of the time even unable to read, watch tv or even socialise. Not going out of the house for years and suffering from autoimmunity and a whole host of illnesses and associated conditions, physical and mental. Even taking a shower, every few days, was excruciatingly painful and exhausting and even standing up was almost too much to bear... and this went on for 7 years! It definitely makes the lyrics even more poignant when you realise the torture he was going through... and he's still going through it, although much improved. He has brain damage, extensive nerve damage, damage to his bones, joints and internal organs and is still in constant pain, which is still frequently chronic pain. He's spent almost the entirety of 2023 far from home, in a clinic in Canada, undergoing experimental medical treatments, in an attempt to repair some of that damage and he'll be there for several months yet. Despite being unable to tour, or promote his music properly, he still scored a number 1 album in the UK! Going straight in at number 1, knocking Drake off the top spot! It went top 10 in quite a few other countries around the World too! What makes it even more amazing, is that he did this as a fully independent artist! The first fully independent artist to achieve a number 1 UK album! No label, no financial backing, no PR machine, no management. Just sheer talent! Every label under the Sun has tried to sign Ren. He's turned them all down! With Ren it really is all about the music! :)

One of my fav Ren songs❤❤thanks guys great reaction...appreciciate you.

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

It's hard to narrow down my favorite Ren songs, but this is continually in my top 5 Ren songs. So good.

[@67goat]

If you did the wrong I Shot the Sheriff video, then you really haven't heard it. That song is different in itself, but it is the rest of the mashup is what makes it really special.

[@TAHBofficial]

Maybe one day we will get to it.

[@67goat]

@@TAHBofficial Even if you don't want to react to it, since it does contain the same song you already reacted to - and since it is a mashup of covers rather than original material, I highly recommend watching it. It really highlights how good they got as a band while playing together.

[@Lynnie_14]

​@TAHBofficial I have to chime in 2 months later. You MUST do "I Shot the Sherrif-Road to Zion-Hip Hop" It's nothing like the one you watched. You'll be annoyed that it took you so long to get around to it - It's that good. Trust me - I'm an Aussie and we'll let you know straight up 😆🇦🇺🥰

[@jasonklenetsky5687]

The one with Ren in red suspenders is literally my favorite video on KZbin. Nuff said

[@MissyGail4eva]

Literally beat me to it, LoL.. so, as a fellow RENegade and with a polite sincerity, I'll second that notion. ×͜× જ⁀➴ -ˋˏ🌈ᥫ᭡

[@NanaM1984]

Ren did this song in a live stream just with the acoustic guitar.

[@pohjiebarbosa]

❤ you guys! Ready for You and Ocean with Eden is awesome.

[@carlahelin5203]

Love how you all really take a deep listen and have a lot of thoughtful input. ❤

[@user-iq42]

Guys keep going. Jenny and Screech is a MUST see and Money Game 1,2,3. Trust me.

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

I completely understand the pauses! And sorry for all the comments. I comment in real time as I"m watching it.

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

P.S. I think you guys are great. I feel like your channel should be bigger! I wish you all the success!

[@TAHBofficial]

Thank you, we really appreciate it!!

[@lafatte24]

The Hunger has Ren's rapping and flows on full display. Full on flex song.

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

This song and The Big Push' It's Alright are always in my top 5 Ren. If you haven't reacted to It's Alright by The Big Push, then please do that next.

[@onwardinfortwurth]

Anything man anything by this guy is genius brilliant and the newest ones got out of Frederick and mashup dude you've got to you got to check that out dude it is so moving at the end and it's a he's doing a cover of it like a EDM that guy but he does it on his guitar and emoji emotion and provokes it and gets it out

Hey fellas I subscribed I've been seeing rain for a long time I love the dude I'm 50 year old rock and roll music rock and roll like 90s but to the left I don't know how to explain it anyways I got a music on my channel. Beren has inspired me sometimes I'm a little won't even quit makes me want to not even write music but f*** that he inspires me to be the best I can him and God do that for me and his music f****** moves me so f******bst t times it's almost too much for me to handle because I'm going through a lot I have been for a long time the hard life I'm no victim everything is done is a choice but I'm trying to get better man I'm trying to be better and it just seems hard it's like nothing changes but I'm not going to f****** go down like that rens songs movie to the core I don't know he's like the people's champ man you know and I'm he's an amazing guy too he's really cool and his music is beyond music it's it's real like it it gets deep into your bones and your soul and I just always have to give him praise cuz he's the best artist I've seen since Eddie better when Eddie vedder was in his you know I think he puts any better to shame now but back in the 90s Eddie when he came out it was real and it meant something it still does but nothing new stuff anyways long-winded love what you guys are doing and I'm glad to be subscribed piece I'm glad you found ran too

[@TAHBofficial]

[@christina_ellis]

❤❤❤❤

[@lostcomicjunkie2724]

New Sub. Wicked reaction Brothas! Demos(do not share) is a wicked album. I love this track. I'll definitely check out your library. If you have not, try "Fire". It's John Frusciante meets Michael Jackson...

[@kiwi6665]

If you like the vocal flex check out chalk out lines . . Good chance you'll fall over deadn😊

[@thetwistedfirestarter]

[@carlahelin5203]

He’s knockin’ those udders dude. 😂

[@onwardinfortwurth]

If you haven't already you should totally check out crucify your culture. It's it's a banger.

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

I know what you mean about this no video and being able to just listen. But still, I feel like this song would be huge if it had a video... It's so underrated! Such a good song.

[@Create834TY]

[@TAHBofficial]

😂

[@alifc1082]

This one reminds me of Gorillaz...

[@jamestalkington6306]

Listen to the lyrics, there's still intensity there, but it isn't delivered in a melancholic way.
