Ren - Money Ties Reaction

[@CaptainDonato22]

This just may be the greatest reaction, to this song, that I have seen. It was touching to see how much it affected you - I’ve listened to Money Ties and watched many reactions and I get wonderfully emotional every single time. The magic of Ren is that you not only, hear him - you feel him, you believe him and he makes you want, or actually desire, to take everything he says to heart. I’ve never experienced this with any other artist…ever!! It’s blissful.

[@barbaralawrence6226]

Yes! Every word you wrote is exactly how I experience Ren's music. This song in particular brings tears to my eyes every time it resonates with me so deeply. 💖

[@kellyt5341]

💯.... Beautiful summary. 🤗

👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

[@spruce381]

Agree with 95% of that comment Izzy. I’ve always seen you as a fan, with a healthy cynicism / never give up your Weltenshaung, without finding new knowledge empirically, or as a confirmation of a strongly suspected view. 😂 Don’t mind me, I’m a confident contrary cnut - I coined renangelist, before renegades - and still think it’s more Susie Dent than Renagade. The former, was me being excited to tell everyone all over the world about Ren. The latter is a betrayer or a desterter, but hey, it’s shorter 😎. Track wise, it’s a song of love and hope, will always dig that as a hippy, mod, casual scooter boy, with verbal IBS. Ta Iizzy ❤️👍🏽👍☘️

[@spruce381]

That echoed for you ❤️

[@sharis9095]

Ren may be a singer and a musician, but his true gift is his pen, his ability to take a few words and make something that makes you think and feel and perhaps, grow.

Great insight. He finds profound meaning in such few words. He is, to me, the greatest lyricist of his time.

He’s just different isn’t he? I also believe that he is a beacon, spreading a message of hope for the times we live in. Music is the universal language to deliver a message to the masses. Ren is special.

The beginning is a Bible reading. 1st Timothy chapter 6.

[@LoutTsu]

Probably not 3% of reactors I've seen recognized it was scripture, but many are visibly moved by it. It sets the message that truth endures.

[@ant1010]

@@LoutTsu Yes,you're spot on. Also so many people misquote it and say 'Money is the root of all evil' rather than'The love of Money' etc

[@beth2010cp]

Choosing which bible to quote could be quite tricky. They vary so much in the accessibility of understanding the intent. Then again, typos can be a problem too (can't help but laugh at evil's).

"Bumpy as shit." I remembered that, somewhere, he said that he was regularly beaten up when he was growing up. He said it happened the 1st time when he was 5 & how that experience was such a shock to his innocence & outlook on life. So many bumps after that.

One of Ren's best. Great reaction video thanks Izzy

[@hazmania]

Ps and YES! Inspiring. He is truly worthy of the admiration we have for him and he isn’t seeking self aggrandisement, just happiness & justice for everyone. Best message ever!

[@LetsGoEers3]

Wow, wow wow! Amazing reactions I am finding out! Myself, I don’t think anyone can appreciate Rens abilities completely until you also watch “Earned it/Mans Woeld!” That changed everything for me I was lucky that I went from Hi Ren, his bmost impressive, most agree, then Man’s World, his best vocal performance…IMO and then “The Hunger,” his best rapIMO and hundreds of reactors opinion. ❤ So by the time that afternoon was over 18 months ago, my life had never been the same and I’ve never found another artist woth the wide spread, world renowned abilities that Ren holds. I love the story telling, his lyrics are also unmatched, but when I witnessed those 2 talents, I haven’t listened to another artist hardly ever since. And of all songs, right now, this may be my favorite! Can’t wait to watch more. Thank you guys and kind sir!

[@LetsGoEers3]

Hahaha I’m so sorry I just found your “Earned it/Mans World” reaction. I was gonna be a little disappointed if a RENegade didn’t make you watch it! On my way to watch it now

[@C0c0puffs01]

Izzy, You have a tough job there; trying to put the "all that is Ren" into words. The speechlessness says it all. ❤

[@jessietucker9342]

Ren can't be described, he doesn't fit in a genre, he transcends that. Love your reaction!❤

[@michaelwalsh7359]

Such a great reaction! Loved it man! I was very much like you when I heard this one. It’s incredible how he continues to elevate his craft to levels few have reached and beyond. I feel like if I were to pluck any one track and show it to someone that has never heard of ren that this would be the best track. Stand alone, easily digestible, relatable, heartfelt, motivational, and an absolute banger of a tune that I think would even be well accepted mainstream! It’s another brilliant work by ren and another great reaction! Always appreciate your take on rens music and your voice is like warm blanket out of the dryer! Keep em comin!

[@JohnSparksScotland]

Hey man - one of the most connected reactions I have felt. As a 73 year old guy with sons of REN’s age, it is a joy to know there are people like Ren and yourself holding an ever brightening torch in these darkening times 🙏🏻🎶❤️

My creativity has been restored. Gratitude 🙏 ❤

These times we will be led by the pure of heart. Not the parfect,perfect, the lovers. Let the others just fade away. The strings are a sample brought by Nayz the producer Ten hired who was also victimized by Kujo. He got the deal Ren offered Kujo snd another ship is lifted. Thanks Izzy. You day is just bound to lighter.

[@Snarky_Tart]

We know exactly what you mean. Some things hit so deep they don't need to be put into words. Ren is one of those.

[@vickyknight4461]

He’s one special guy, that’s for sure. ☺️ I was so pleased you’d had a chance to react to this. (I knew you would get round to it.) There aren’t enough adjectives in the dictionary to describe how incredible he is as an artist, creator and man are there?! It was overwhelming to watch, this song was supposed to be released on his sister’s birthday but liquid got spilt on his laptop which corrupted the files. I don’t think his declining health helped either. The love for his sister made me feel quite emotional. The track was produced by Nayz, who had a similar experience with Kujo some years ago so they agreed to collaborate on his 50/50! Again shows was a man Ren is. A wonderful reaction as always Izzy, I bet you’ve listened to the song a few times over by now! 😂 Take care, catch you on the next one. 😊👍

[@IzzyIzenstain]

Thanks, Vicky! Yeah, I think its one of my most listened Ren songs already.

Izzy, this is one of the best reaction videos I've seen for Money Ties. I'm always moved, and feel blessed, when I witness reactors experiencing this song in such a profound way. I've watched dozens of reactions and listened to this song many times and my eyes well up every time. When I experienced Money Ties during the premiere, I broke down into tears and could barely see the screen, it touched me so deeply. I just shared the link to this reaction in Ren's Patreon reactions chat asking if someone could personally get it to him. I hope Ren personally gets to see this and hear your ending thoughts. I think he'd be deeply moved and it might help keep his spirit up. Much love to you 💖🙋‍♀️

Knowing that Ren wrote this for his little sister’s birthday colored all the b&w for me from the young girl’s bible quote to ‘no ppl no prophet’, her innocence brought REN’s message into sharp focus for me and for the future of our children… who are also so simple yet so profound. I’m happy ppl are resonating with this. Thank you Iz

[@falloncj]

Money Game Part 3, the intro especially, up to when he starts rapping about Jimmy - when he does the haunting cries he sounds like Adele on her Bond track. I've been convinced Ren has the potential to make an iconic Bond intro in him.

[@peaceofiona9198]

Jesus. Just stop this Bond nonsense. He doesn't need this. He's more than that

[@Jinxy44]

Yes. Yes. Yes. Agree that the lyrics are the truth - great message. And the story with the piano is so beautiful. I particularly liked his use of the word ‘rich’ and ‘treasure’ unrelated to money. I’m going to remember this going forward. Great reaction, enjoyed it. Thanks ❤

[@LetsGoEers3]

I wish I could take every one of you beautiful Reactors, and let’s just say, die this song here, and have a continuous video of it take every one of your breaths away. Making the most talkative and opinionated KZbinrs out there, speechless I’ve never been a part of something where my feelings, emotions, get validated, every day of my life. I think almost every single one of us feel the same way But when that speechlessness happens, it almost brings me to tears every time And I can’t thank you enough This is my first Ren reaction of yours, and I’m ready to buckle up and experience the he journey you have to have went through, getting this far.

there is just no words, where does he get the ideas from? my guess is he had many years sick in solitude and just kept writing things down. While we were all arguing and getting more and more divided as a society, he had partially escaped from the every day curse of the money game eating into us.... what was his song where he spoke about 'a blessing and a curse'.... great reaction as always dude!!

The thing that got me (aside from the emotional talking to his sister) was how money made the Sick Boi sicker. All this business with Kujo and the money has had an impact on his health. We must protect Ren at all costs (no pun intended) as he is a beacon for so many. Great reaction.

This is a collaboration with a producer called @nayz, who also had a bad interaction with Kujo beats! Ren & @nayz are splitting everything 50/50, so they both benefit! (Yah boo sucks to Kujo beats! Who turned down a similar deal!) I think, for me, this is RENs loveliest song, awesome message, beautifully presented, produced and delivered with RENs open hearted kindness, with a new mate. If I’ve got any of that wrong, apologies. Love from Annie, in Cornwall🙂🌸

[@kellyt5341]

[@IzzyIzenstain]

[@GarnetJ]

One of the greatest things about this song is it is a positive collaboration that came out of the nightmare situation with Kujo. Ren worked with a producer (Nayz) who had also had unfortunate dealings with Kujo. Ren wanted to do Kujo Beat Down all on his own, but they decided to do a different song together. I’m so glad they did!! Yet again Ren channels and transforms the challenges in life into such beautiful and powerful art 🎁 This is becoming one of my favorites, especially the part for his sister ✨ It brings tears to my eyes. And the B&W video is stunning! The intro passage is directly from the Bible, 1 Timothy 6: 6-10. But it’s consistent with Ren’s ongoing message. And I believe Nayz said they found an orchestral sample from an obscure Japanese film from the 70s. They made sure to clear the sample 😜

[@frankquinn6872]

Great reaction Izzy. Ren's work is like some form of 4-D chess - it can be affecting on so many different levels. You could just listen to the music on this track and get some much from it . Similarly the lyrics by themselves are poetic enough to stand alone. Then it's taken to a whole new level with a video that is stylistically beautiful enough to be worthy of Anton Corbijn (yet, fittingly in light of the song's subject matter, probably cost pennies to make in comparison to most major mainstream artists' videos. But then, creativity is not measured in £££). Ren has said he is not religious but he is spiritual enough to be able to use a fitting bible verse to preface his song. The man is a genius.

Ren delivers a very important message to the times we live in. Somehow his message needs to be heard by the masses not just his KZbin community. How can his message become mainstream as an independent artist?? That is the next step I just don’t know how that happens.

[@JoeYo77]

He’s the only artist in my lifetime that I could think of that cause always willing to try something different and still never misses! I mean the whole Kujo beat thing all the other features he had going on, triggered him and put him in the hospital and he still put this out! What can you say aside from Hansel once in the generation artist probably even better person with a relentless work habit! That’s a stick on his message of greed and money to start out with a Bible verse with an orchestra in the background is just a for sure way to lure you in and quickly! Another wonderful breakdown and I love how you mentioned profits early on and then at the end he uses just that no people no prophets, to put a spin on no money no profits! I’m pretty sure we all feel the same way that you do about him. I’ve been following him for four years and just like you whenever I think he’s reached the pinnacle of where he can go because I think he should be known by everybody and I think he will be like a Michael Jackson mega star, but as far as creatively Lyrically how much higher can go and it seems like there’s no limit all while carrying the burden of getting treatments every day and being sick but he’s not going to let anything get in his way from being the voice for the voice and for possibly being the inspiration for someone going through What he was and still is going through and needs a positive message and role model to keep them holding on! Like he says, when I was at my lowest praying, clawing at the laminate I wish there were more stories of hope! Sorry for such a long message but what a great piece of art and I know that you will read it and understand me and relate to what I’m saying and most likely agree.

[@IzzyIzenstain]

I think his fame and success will continue to grow. He's put out a lot of songs, but only 1 album so far. I feel like it's only the beginning. It is a great piece and great to have more great messages out there. Stay cool, Joe! Love to ya!
