Part of me wants to think because he's independent he may not get the same treatment as artist on a label but that's purely speculative. I believe the CC distracts from the performance with them being jumbled and inaccurate so thank you for having the intuition to disable them when you noticed it.

Ren is different ... in all ways good. This performance has brought grown men and women to tears, and made more than one person reflect, deeply, on their own life. This song is healing and cathartic to many. It is kind of the "Bohemian Rhapsody" for mental health. Ren's life story is rough, yet he is still "standing besides us today". You should go down the Ren rabbit hole and see just how talented of a performer Ren is. He is a bard like story teller, rapper, hip hop throw back, singer, and modern day minstrel. He drags people into genres like rap and hip hop that have never listened to anything in that genre, and they are awed by the performance. Great reaction ... please let the tears flow ... new sub!

Welcome to the RENaissance. ❤ I think you might be the first reaction I've seen to specifically name intrusive thoughts. As Ren says, it's not a battle to fight against them, but they are a part of us and we have to learn how to live and work with them, to learn how to dance. For those of us who are creative, we have an active channel through which to guide that dance. As a writer, I use my intrusive thoughts as fodder for my work. And once they're on paper/on the screen, then they become fiction and I can move on. If you want to dive down the rabbit hole, the usual suggestions include: > Chalk Outlines ft Chinchilla (live) - featuring more of his singing voice > The Tale of Jenny & Screech (full) - a tragedy from the streets of London as told by a modern bard 😿 > Sick Boi - the 2nd release from his upcoming album 🔥 > Illest of Our Time - the 3rd and most recent release from his upcoming album 🔥🔥 The following are all more rap/hiphop and are all great to listen to: > Losing It > The Hunger - my personal favorite just for all of the wordplay and flow changes > Power > Genesis > What You Want > Bittersweet Symphony > Right Here, Right Now ~ Peace 🕊

The first time I was TRAUMATIZED....I started therapy....now I love to watch reactions, and am able to enjoy the music, the wordplay, the acting.....It was all TOO MUCH at first. Too much truth. Bite the bullet, watch the whole thing FIRST. Go ahead and cry, everyone does. Then go back and watch it again, and again. I love the other reactions....I'm not alone, not by a LONG SHOT....He just put SPOTLIGHTS on the elephant in the room, and calls it out without hesitation. This is so much more important than music being "pretty" or "soothing." So much more than "I can dance to it." Who cares? This....THIS is everything.

I really appreciate your reaction. Chels, as I saw you listening, it was like me listening for the first time. Ren's material is so raw and vulnerable, and most importantly, it connects us all in a time where we are so disconnected. This performance transcends anything I have ever seen before, and it is a true work of art. Ren has suffered for so long with many illnesses, and for him to put his heart and soul into this had to be exhausting (Lyme disease can be so brutal). Like he said, he is choosing to be a student, and not a victim. How empowering!

The more you learn about Ren and his story and continued struggles the more and more you become a fan. His story alone is what made me become a fan but then I listened to his music… when people say this guy is on a whole different level, it’s really no exaggeration. He dips into so many different genres from folk to hip hop to reggae to classic rock, etc. He also plays literally every instrument, produces and mixes his own beats for his rap songs, and for his music videos it’s usually himself and his friends working the cameras. He’s a Busker in the UK and has been doing this since he was 12 years old. His latest single Illest of Our Time came out a couple weeks ago on his 33rd birthday. There’s not many people in this world that truly “get” music the way that Ren does. I truly hope you dive into more of his stuff to see his full range!

Great reaction. Ren became seriously ill in 2010 but his condition was misdiagnosed for 6 or 7 years. The meds he was given just made him worse and he was often stuck in bed for up to 23 hours a day. He became resigned to not surviving his 20s. In 2016 he was finally correctly diagnosed with Lyme Disease and he was given stem cell transplants which improved his health. However the years of incorrect treatments have left Ren with a badly damaged immune system and some brain damage. He is currently receiving specialist treatment in Canada which is likely to take at least 6 months

The infamous words to take from this and when you hear it is "You are your own worse critic." This is true in so many ways. The fact that he expresses it so much to where the fact that when you listen to this. There are so many ways that people to relate to it. It's not just something that is true for musicians but so many other people can suffer from this. All of us have that constant internal struggle and have that consistent battle that we must overcome. We suffer through it and some people may not understand it. A LOT of people will definitely be able to relate to this. I have responded to this song on other channels and it's always refreshing to see other peoples reaction. To know that other people have some form of connection to it. To know that there are people who relate to this and I am still always enjoying said reactions. Not just from this but from the other rather deep one that he has done. I am sure you guys have reacted to it but if you haven't the name of it is called "Su*cide"

His dudes library is already as deep AF. I am a huge Pink Floyd and Nightwish fan, and Ren is as deep a rabbithole as them, from straight rap rap to this to amazing reggae ..I Shot the Sheriff/Zion, Sick Boi, The Illist of Our Time, the Hunger, and so much more

I was thinking the same thing!! when I noticed it was Chara, I figured either he’s been a long time fan or he got it off some clearance rack for a buck. haha LET’S GO BRU-INS!!

The other thing I think is genius about this, is just the structure of the song, the form of it is unique and flows so well

Songs resonate with us individually in ways we only know, Chels it clearly touched your emotions quite deeply, the same for me. Ren is an incredible artist, his versatility is to behold. I th8nk it would be worth you both watching more of Ren, some you could watch; Ren ft Bibi- crutch, Ren-Genesis The Hunger, The tale of Jenny and screech(this is a trilogy, must watch), The big push(ren plays in this band) Bongo bong and many many more. ❤️ from the UK

I think everyone can relate to this song which is why it is so impactful. As others have stated in other comments, run through some of his other works. There is no end to his talent.

Thank you. Good call on getting rid of captions. He’s got a lot of heavy stuff but he’s actually a fun loving and funny guy. Absolutely agree with other suggestions but I really enjoyed his lighter side with I Shot the Sheriff/ Road to Zion/ Hip Hop mashup.
