Ren - Dominoes (Reaction)

[@seantaylor4095]

This song is very impactful. I have a 14 year old daughter who has an eating disorder and self-harms. She is stunningly beautiful but doesn't have the self-esteem to see it. Fortunately she is getting counselling to help her. Out of all of Ren's songs, this one hits with me the most.

[@SilviaA.M.]

Much love to you and your daughter ❤

[@kellyt5341]

I'm so sorry...😥

[@MatandChelsReact]

We’re so sorry your daughter is going through those struggles and wish her and you the best. ❤️

[@markhughes6574]

I have a 7 and a 4-year-old daughter. I’m terrified of how society will treat them and how it’ll make them feel. So scared of them growing up 😔

[@tracycrook2574]

I think every young person should listen to this song, it has such a powerful message. Great reaction 😊

[@willasacco9898]

They should make this song a mandatory listen in grammar school, when there is some possibility of really teaching.

[@CraigT-L]

Social media is the downfall of society.

[@kellyt5341]

💯....😥

[@MsCheesemonster13]

Commercials too. Once advertising started in the nineteenth century, self-worth starts to be associated with the product almost immediately, although it was limited to newspapers and the sides of buildings. Fast-forward to today, and it is almost impossible to avoid, especially online, and advertisers are well aware that the young are particularly susceptible, and target them accordingly.

[@MatandChelsReact]

We feel it’s media in general but social media has amplified it to a disgusting level.

[@CraigT-L]

@@MatandChelsReact oh for sure. Media spin is terrible for mental health these days. Doom and gloom constantly. I ignore it all now.

[@AnotherFacelessDigitalNoOne]

Wtf? Media?

[@denalinde]

The ironic thing is that sonically this song could easily be played on the radio, but it wouldn’t be allowed because it’s just too real. We’re lucky to have someone like Ren who releases what he wants, when he wants. I’m glad he’s found enough success to keep going, both for him and for us all. 💜🎶

[@sharoncarlisle9453]

Great reaction guys. This song really hits home if you're a parent or grandparent, and you can see the kids you love being affected by this stuff.

[@mldkenny]

Ren certainly knows how to get us all thinking!!! Great reaction.

[@hjr6139]

Great reaction! Ren masterfully tells us a scourge that seems inevitable in society; which, as you point out, has always existed, but now it is catapulted by social networks, which magnify everything, both the kind and the sinister of the human being. The way to tell it is in a catchy song that simmers and continues in a crescendo, ending with a small but important reflection. Thank you for your wonderful and emotional reaction. I suscribe.

[@kellyt5341]

Nicely put. 😊

[@fredatkins5890]

This one of the most powerful songs of our time. One of my favourites. Nice reaction guys.

[@dobstair_bmw]

Ren always brings tears to my eyes… it’s so real and deep and from his soul

[@Lift_Eachother_Up]

❤ Thanks again for Ren. #FreeSickboi #SaveSickboi

[@peterwaltham4834]

Through my high school years i was bullied to the point left school very early, and even now at the age of 42 yo my self confidence and self belief is almost no existent, i have been acting confident etc for that long i have almost forgotten what its like to be "normal". i feel for those who go through this now at school because there is no escape because of social media etc it isn't fair, Great work guy keep up the great videos, thanks for sharing.

[@kellyt5341]

😥

[@MatandChelsReact]

We’re so sorry when went through that. ❤️

[@donald1379]

Such a powerful message...thanks guys appreciate you👍👍

[@leonbond9275]

A thoughtful and thought provoking reaction. Ren definitely 'bops' you in and makes you think - "Yeah, strong message - catchy hook - nice" and then he drops the hammer blow in the second half with a scenario we have *all* had some experience of in one way or another, and he masterfully strips everything down and laser-focuses your mind and does not let you off by simply finishing as he did. Genius, and SO impactful.

[@Dad-JanieWorld]

I legit think this should be shown on the first day of school for like middle school kids. Every year.

[@MatandChelsReact]

Absolutely!

[@philbarker2214]

The moment Chel welled up 🥺 I did too. Huge hugs ❤ it’s hits like a train this one!!

[@silentwhisp4r670]

Thank you for the awesome reaction! You never know what you will get with Ren. Sometimes you will be laughing out of laughter. Sometimes you will be laughing out of sadness. Hope to see you two do more Ren!

[@belindamelville2270]

Ren❤❤❤

[@shannonlasell]

it's terrible and sad. worst part is its spot on. 100% i remember in school we had a culinary like teacher. one of the classes was learning about comercials on tv and magazines and how they lie to make money and use you to keep money coming in.

[@EarthyBlendPOV]

Enjoyed this!

[@davidholwell2060]

🎉🎉🎉. Thank you.

[@TheBradsk1379]

This song was a great reality check, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and yalls reaction, side note, as soon as this popped up I thought "this is gonna get Chels"....great reaction yall

[@philbrown4431]

He sings reality he's amazing how he puts a twist to a song

[@JulitaPio]

Always appreciate you guys ❤😊

[@leecowell5301]

Watching my daughter who is 16 now growing up, he just so super aware of the world and they way it REALLY works. I mean how old was he when he done this song?

[@jeffmartin_UK]

Thank you for an emotionally deep reaction! ❤

[@bardown7628]

People are beautiful with out makeup

[@Marleeboy]

Bless u both an ren❤

[@petebrown6356]

One of the most powerful songs I've ever heard.

[@RudivanZyl]

Ren always speaks truth and makes us see things in this world we might miss normally. As a father of 2 teenage daughters this got me as well the first time I heard it, and when I got home I sat them down and played them this song and told them don't ever fall into that trap or believe that you are not good enough.

[@MatandChelsReact]

❤️

[@megraminiak1662]

The sound in the background at the beginning is dominoes falling. Cool, eh? One of REN’s tragically underrated/heard tracks.

[@LorenzoFrausto]

Oooooooooh thanks 🙏🏽 haha

[@MatandChelsReact]

That’s what that sound was! Thank you!

[@meghanelizondo774]

You actually phrased it really well when kids question "is it ok to look like you?"

[@stevecody9878]

Lovely, appropriate reaction ❤

[@StefanVillkatt]

Thank you!

[@feedthemonkey83]

These Lyrics are just painfully true. I mean if you want to put your mood very far down ... listen to this song. But on the other side I love it. It is one of my most favorite songs of him. But it hurts every time. And even as a grown up man ... I almost cry every time I hear it because even though I am not a girl I can relate to the pain of not thinking to be enough and beautiful enough. And also the part where you buy stuff to get happy because you cannot get happy with yourself.

[@TheAxeification]

Like the CC hoodie. A friend of mine, Jeremy Turner, filled in on for their tour after Jack quit. Got to see them play and hang with George, Alex and Paul, and my buddy after a show in Lawrence, KS many moons ago before they left for the next gig. George is super cool. Talked football and gaming mostly. lol Jeremy has played with Origin and was a founding member of Unmerciful who he still plays with. Both bands from my hometown. My band's last album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Clint from Unmerciful. Was a good deal. We helped him finish building the studio in his basement and had, basically, unlimited time to work on the album. Anywho- I need to check out your metal reactions as well as Ren as I love many genres of music. All my best. Cheers.

[@MatandChelsReact]

Oh that’s awesome!

[@headingley72]

The best thing I ever heard was don't try to be someone else that role is already taken, the only role left free is you and you fit that role perfectly. Ren is a total Legend banger after banger and always making you think long and hard.

[@janinewalker1748]

Chels!... You are so so beautiful and mat are so supportive, good looking and sweet ❤❤❤

[@MatandChelsReact]

Thank you so much!❤️

[@janinewalker1748]

@@MatandChelsReact very welcome 🤗

[@MalcolmMXTaylor]

a simple lyric video, but just wow... always a message in rens music, sometimes a deep meaning, sometimes (like this) straight at you! and in a way it all leads back to the money game! great reaction!!! some other ren 'classics' i think you should listen to are - Heretic Crutch Big Push - Swan Song and some newer ones - Back on 74/Message in a bottle retake Fred Again mashup Webby ft Ren - Baggage Think i caught up and seen all your ren reactions now! Look forward to more!

[@badwolf1587]

Definitely must go on to "For Joe" THEN freckled angels.... they literally are a continuation of each other.

[@Vmcf1968]

very nice reaction

[@hevimonkey5960]

Nowadays a large number of people determine your worth by what you own and how attractive you are on the outside.

[@WanderlustWarrior46]

Sorry, I'm just getting this. i don't know how I missed it. My sister sent me a clip of ren insta you're in it. Edit: Great reaction. It was how I felt and resonated with me and helped me process. Thanks To All 3 of you

[@rendzen3586]

you are both beautiful. In your minds and in your body! Love from Latvia!

[@beardandbelly6003]

In this day and age, being human is a competition. And you are judged by what you have or show and not by who you are. Technology is advancing but we are taking steps back.

[@scottgate4983]

There's a difference between beautiful and pretty, Beautiful is your character your integrity and morality, your heart and empathy for others, pretty is what they try to sell you as beautiful; anybody can be beautiful and most people are, pretty is something some people are just born with but that doesn't make them beautiful automatically; as a lot a just shallow and are a hollow shell of a human being.

[@giordani64]

It was always this way, yes. But there was only some people around you who may told you're you're "ugly" or "not enough". But in this social media day and age, there are hundreds and thousands outside who are just waiting to tell you're these lies within minutes . And that destroys people's life

[@MatandChelsReact]

It’s because they hate their own lives.

[@Scoggie]

You should definitely check out Ren and Chinchilla How to be me live and Ren's For Joe

[@woodywoodman2319]

Oh boy... I saw this and thought this is gonna be a tough one! I don't know y'all, but you guys know what Ren can do with words and music! I think everybody feels this in one way or another! Sadly... young ladies seem to be targeted by society to be More More More... yada yada! Anywho... Great Reaction! How about some fun next time... his Love Music series autta do that! Lol

[@alessandromalvasi7768]

Hi ren is objectively his masterpiece, but for me...dominoes take the crown. I'm a walking stereotype, a bald fat nerd metalhead, I hate how I look, I don't feel that what I look reflects at all how I am and in a way I feel a lot like an "ariah".

[@Peteuncable]

Guys, please react to BabyMetal’s song Monochrome ^^ awesome suzuka ´s voice !

[@Suziejouk-zj6eo]

I thank you for reacting to Ren ...absolutely hate your introduction 😂

We wish the best for Ren over such a fucked up situation.

[@Beanstalks314]

…I enjoy your reactions-but I kinda think you missed the intensity of ⭐️HER response ⭐️ to the message within this song (of which is amazing)-and I hope you’ve been able to discuss these themes. Keep on, keeping on.

[@MatandChelsReact]

Interesting take. How exactly did I miss her response?
