Check out the 8 Chapters he has on his RenMakesStuff channel when you have time - these go into much more. This song is a great summary of it, but there is so much more.

[@K1NGD0M]

^THIS, PLEASE WATCH THE CHAPTERS!

[@gizellefuentes1195]

Yes they need to

[@clarissathompson]

Totally! You don't need to react to them, but make sure you watch them!

[@chucknorris5141]

I agree with this as well.

[@ethank1127]

Agreed^ I never knew it was as serious as it is until I got to hear him go into detail

[@elicia93]

I sincerely love and appreciate that you guys are still following Rens music. Not only are you my favorite reactors but Ren is my favorite artist. He means so much to so many people around the world and it's great to see more people spreading his messages and his story. He truly is one of a kind in this generation and not someone to be looked over. He does plan on doing a live version of this as well! And he will be releasing more music in the near future so stay tuned guys! Much love to you both!

[@leahvalure-qe7gn]

he is mine toooooo he is my only artist on sportify for me

[@doughill2616]

Eric looks like he’s drinking out of Thor’s hammer

[@meerimew7741]

I noticed that immediately when he took a drink after they paused to address the Thor hammer line!

[@winterlady]

Right? Lol perfect timing? 🤔😁

[@RenNotRen]

Awesome reaction guys ❤ Lyrics for anyone that wants: ** Lyrics: I don't reach into the past very much for these shards of shattered glass and harsh paper cuts, leave me stuck when I reach in, memories are seaped in hydrochloric acid, I go to war and get passive and freeze up, But music helped the ice to thaw, put a chisel in the middle swing the hammer of Thor pull it out of the impossible, Excalibur sword etching note pads full of reasons why my feelings are sore The first day that I got sick ejected from cock pit of living Nineteen ,young teen, waking up Bitten posters up, man hunt, Ren went missing Hard to have faith when the gods don't listen The first year maybe was the hardest Waking in a body that was buried like a carcass Brain in the lions den Body in a shark pit Waking up in pain again Aching broken hearted Persistent little bugger I was bouncing from a doctor to a doctor to a doctor like a table tennis game that has no end So be the fate of Ren Every single question answered with a question on the end The second year I came to terms with giving up my dreams mind severed from the means that helped me write these rhyme schemes brain was inflamed The fatigue was Crushing Hard to remain sane with your brain combusting And the third year was murder Living in a purga-tory full of worry wouldn't live to be thirty Life style style hurt me Always in my bed tomb Re-arrange the alphabet and all the letters spell doom Light hurt my eyes Popping pills to survive When you're 23 and mentally you steadily decline 24 I was poor disability benefits What's the benefit of disability it's irrelevant 25 and the scars that were etched... they cracked Elastic bands only stretch so far and then snap Deep in psychosis hallucinations, troubled vision Visits from the underworld were conjuring my Superstition 25, living back at home with my mum But not because I'm a bum Alone and physically done So thin, so frail, so week I'd become And my skin so pale, never kissed by the sun One time I carved a whole in my chest, just to feel I wish that was a metaphor, the struggle was real When you're living in a holocaust you buckle and kneel There's relief in the teeth of the kiss of cold steel Facts 26 im highly medicated and the pain sophisticated while im laying broke and naked on my back I brought my microphone into my Coffin, started droppin raw thoughts with the grim reaper knocking on the track Then man, lo and behold I heard an angel beckon on this treacherous road Was a stem cell doctor with a generous glow And a cell transplant brought Me out of the Cold And my body got stronger And my skin got younger And my stomach felt hunger for a door that was closed And my soul heard music for the first time Beauty was a word I'd use for this gift of gold Oh lord I forgive you Lord I forgive you Lord I forgive you Make me whole This music I give you Pain that I live through Everything I been through Is yours to hold

[@CatMamma94]

Thank you!!

[@sammyd8860]

You mentioned the cool "plucking" sound. Ren has a video on his Patreon account which shows how he created that. Basically he took the Vera Hall vocal sample, added a tuner to it so that it followed his chord changes, then added a filter that just picked up the highest peaks/notes. The result is that cool plucking synth sound. Yet more proof that the guy is a freaking genius !

[@yilomina2047]

So cool! I think he also posted a short with that on KZbin

[@ericgrady5102]

Dude is absolutely an alien!

[@Michaeldanson]

He did an yt short on the way he made the sample in to the synth

[@ghostfacedkilla2849]

Got a friend who's not into rap music at all into Ren. He's the one who informs me when a video drops. Even though I already know ha.

[@celtzen]

I'm not into rap- I'm a complete rock girl (ok old bat really) and I absolutely adore Ren his music transcends genre bias.

[@psychosomaticl0v]

He is a god send, whether he knows it or not, to so many people. I see that all of his fans have found him when they needed him the most. I found Hi Ren when I was feeling the most lost I had ever felt in 44 years. As I went down the rabbit hole, I discovered just how similar our paths were, minus the excelling music career. I’ve been struggling with a mystery illness that doctors said the same thing. Finally, after years of misdiagnosis….And finding a doctor to actually listen to, they found lesions on my ocular nerves and brain. He is an inspiration for so many reasons, and I believe they need to make a movie about his life and what he has been through and what he has overcome and still persists.

[@michaelphipps8647]

Ren's story of Survival, Hope and Victory!!!

[@cosetterolfes4100]

Just curious if you two have listened to the "Chapter" videos Ren uploaded once a day for the entire week leading up to this song's release? If not, I highly recommend them. Ren really goes into so much detail of what he went through to get to where he is today, and the journey is just so emotional and beautiful. Great reaction, guys!

[@MsPoeticVisions]

I've been struggling with several chronic illnesses, including Fibromyalgia, for over 13 years. Sorry to hear your mom has had to deal with this. Ren holds a very special place in my heart for opening up and sharing his story. Thank you so much for reacting to his songs and being so compassionate. I'm so very happy the reaction community has embraced him. Believe it or not, there are so many folks out there that could care less about the day to day struggle and toll it can take on you. #hope 💜

[@Sarahxl29]

I’m sorry to hear this, I hope you’re doing okay ❤️ I’ve recently joined the chronic illness boat and was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Is there anything that helps your symptoms at all? Nothing I do is helping. Sending much love and hoping you’re coping okay xxxx

[@MsPoeticVisions]

@@Sarahxl29 Thank you. So sorry you are having to deal with FMS. I have Rx for nerve & muscle pain. I also attend a chronic pain group every Wed. We share our struggles, learn meditation techniques, and support each other. The thing that has helped most, is to try not to sit and dwell in misery. Find something that keeps your mind busy. I wish there was some miracle cure...but there isn't. I have found the coping skills are the best "medicine" so far. Keep the hope that some day there will be a cure. 💜

[@PlymouthLad76]

Lyrics " I carved a hole in my chest" was actually a thing he did. In one over his 8 part biographies he's just finished Ren said that he picked up an old TV and smashed it on the ground, the screen smashed and one pice was like a knife so he sta88ed himself in the chest to feel alive. Ren, we love you dearly ❤

[@im2yz4u17]

Didya notice, when Ren is singing about the hammer of Thor, you took a big ass drink from that hammer lookalike bottle! Synchronicity.

[@MissMeKate]

Love this one. Really hope it charts. Will be the first time a song about these illnesses ever has if it does. He is such a good ambassador for those suffering invisibly.

[@mine-mine-gimme]

That "plucky" sound is actually the sample "trouble so hard" lyric synthed out. A tuner and a filter so only little moments come thru. Basically ren just going mad scientist on a sample and coming up with a ridiculously catchy sound

[@DogDocKat]

Such an incredible, impactful song. There is a cool BTS video of how he made the synth sounds in this from the original sample. Ren is a genius and so strong for sharing his story. Great reaction! 💜💜

[@RyanESmail]

Check out that short of him turning the sample into a sunth

[@SCash-rl5ee]

Parts of this song just make your gut hurt to hear and brought tears to my eyes. But I smiled so big when he threw out his arms talking about beauty and the gift of gold. I thought that would be the highlight and then he began the "Lord I forgive you" through "yours to hold" that hit even harder and made me happy in the same way when NF said "Mama, I forgive you" Ren deserves all the wonderful things that have been happening. I really hope his health continues to improve. I also hope this video will bring a lot of attention to the health struggles of all those suffering daily and feel forgotten or ignored.

[@rowanelessar5892]

Thank you for supporting Ren! 🙏🏻 I always love your reactions because you really get into the music and you also pay attention to what matters.

[@Earthling-12358]

This is a powerful message that needs to reach as many sufferers, and carers as possible. Thank you for the support you provide! 👏

[@losronjos]

thank you for reacting and thus raising awareness for ME💙🎗

[@johnnymayweather7476]

Ren is Iconic!!! Thank you y'all finally got the hint that Ren doesn't copyright his videos, so it was wonderful to watch the video as well, awesome!!!

[@BallisticAero]

Ren has rediscovered how to put SOUL back into rap

[@GoodGirlGone]

Thank you!!!

[@sonicfear4472]

After having listened to Ren's Chapter Series Intently and multiple times, this track just encapsulates his story so well and serves as musical accompaniment for The Chapters. Ren's experiences are very familiar to me to say the least, as is often the case with many of his supporters. Ren's success is so deserved and I do truly hope it continues. Ren is the medicine many of us need. So raw, combined with his naturally emotive performance! Indeed Ren....Your Limo has finally arrived!!!

[@donald1379]

I will say it again and again Ren is a musical Genius...thanks guys great reaction👍👍

[@LadyGnomeofthewoods]

I am so grateful Ren never gave up on himself. I get the bitterness from unanswered prayers. This song was straight from the heart, so the impact for me is tremendous.

[@Shiroar]

With great power comes great responsibility, and Ren is truly a hero! He is using his growing powers and platform for so much more than simply creating brilliant music. Ren has said that he always had this feeling that he was meant to change the world for the better. So much that he defiantly yelled a challenge to evil into an empty room. And then he got sick… Ren has now shared the full story of his health journey in 8 video chapters leading up to the release of this song and what a journey it has been. If anyone hasn’t already watched them, I highly recommend you do. With all the chapters he is showing immense strength in sharing his story that is so hard to tell, being vulnerable and telling it because he hopes it will help others and raise awareness. And here he is with another rendition of that story, now told through music with a fire beat and delivering a message of hope. A beautiful hero that the world needs ❤️🐰🕳️

[@dubbayabird6680]

Great reaction guys. I think he said that this song is the true ending of the sick boi project. It's amazing. Check out his Missing chapters 1-8 on Ren makes stuff. Very inspiring story.b

[@aixmhros]

the eyes goes soft when ppl talk about Ren.. the faces calming.. this mdfk saves lives.-

[@mckenziepaigemusic]

This song shot to the top of my Ren playlist immediately. The Sample he used was Vera Hall, Trouble so hard, which Ren said is a very important song to him. He is absolutely an inspiration. Love your reactions, love his music. I'm totally here for it! Thanks for another awesome reaction!

[@ReadTheBible1]

Omgosh. I just realized that Ren has like 2 personalities, and both personalities have their own voice! This actually just blew my mind 😅

[@scottphillips5798]

Ren just can not miss!!

[@allenhay1073]

Check out his chapters he did before releasing this

[@johnmurphy2987]

Respect to both of you. Another inspirational song to many ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

[@brezengirl]

Ren is outstanding with his lyrics and how he does things.

[@stacie9229]

Loved your reaction to this and all of Ren. We have all found such a huge place in our hearts for this man, he has given us all so much joy and understanding.

[@as7326]

Ren has become a beacon of hope for our ignored community of sufferers. 🔥💜💜💜

[@coryflynn4007]

The sample in this song is the Moby song “Natural Blues”

[@benbattersby9239]

Watch Rens shorts to see how Ren did that plucking sound in the background. Pretty sure its a vocal sample heavily modified to get the sound. Shows the incredible skills he has in mixing and producing.

[@mldkenny]

Always love your Ren reactions .

[@Markerman_642]

Crazy how that strange plucking is actually Vera’s voice ran through a filter. Haunting sound. And cool. Paid for the rights to use her track and used it he did. There’s a little video on his Patreon that details how he did it. Very talented. Such a cool guy. So glad he’s on the road to recovery

[@sergusbower1270]

Ren is an entity to himself. Love your reactions

[@gwynethzen77]

Thanks for always covering ren guys! This one hits hard for me! Much love! ❤✌️

[@cbird02]

Check out his last short! That background synthesizer sound is actually the original audio sample put through a filter...so he basically sampled the sample for multiple uses. Insane talent

[@StantonMoira]

Great reaction. ❤

[@GW-kf1be]

Love Ren, he is just an amazing talented artist and human being. Love you guys your amazing too. Thank you ❤❤❤

[@michelleboussiala4470]

The day Ren dropped this it was #1-2 streaming

[@LeeannG]

That sound in the back is still the sample 🙌🏼

[@user-tz3dh6bu1p]

It is a difficult and wonderful song to hear ! I feel more and understand more every time I listen to it. The phrase that hit my heart is the teeth and the relief of cold steel, Just the expression on his face makes it very real. So much pain with no wound no visible cause. But if you created the wound that would be affirming of the pain ! Breaks my heart ! And funny my heart has to go out to his mother and Sister to. I can not Imagine my child enduring all Ren has went through. Being a single farther of 2 I had non of these issues just the ones that 2 teenage girls brought !! And I can say that was harder then they will ever know !! They are women now with family's and everybody is good !! But back in the day !! Nice reaction guys

[@knightngail1]

Finally diagnosed at 24 almost 40 years later STILL suffering

[@jessehelton9031]

Many have stated it and I’ll echo the same sentiment: Please do yourself a favor if you’re a fan of this man and check out his 8 chapters that he did. Dudes reads the story of his struggles. It is the window into the man. Absolute must watch.

[@woodywoodman2319]

For those who haven't yet... ya Gotta watch his 8 chapters describing what he lived thru! (Its basically his life story in 8 video chapters, read by Ren, located in his Troubles playlist!) His lyrics are Truly His Story... clawed at the laminate... from Seven Sins... I mean Come On Man!!!

[@Daffodil-Grace]

Thank you for this reaction.

[@LHartman-gj7dl]

Been waiting for this one and as usual you didn't let me down! Ren and Ren reactors bring me such joy! 🖤🖤🖤

[@frankoconnor806]

Another great reaction jem guys 👏. Peace and love from Australia ❤ Btw the little smile on his face when the unexpected limo pulled in behind him while he was filming is a classic photobombing 😂 moment

[@seagull01-cp8pb]

Great reaction. Respect for your continued support of Ren.💕👍🦇

[@dave.james007]

The acoustic version hits different ✌️

[@ransom2405]

About time guys, been waiting for ya

[@JamieHotlaps]

YESSS FINALLYY IVE BEEN WAITING🙏😭

[@xaviergillard9649]

I know, right? I was litteraly refreshing youtube these last days, hoping for that video!!

[@JamieHotlaps]

@@xaviergillard9649 Haha same!

[@cheetos1231000]

i saw this on my feed. i didn't watch it alone but i'm glad i got to watch it with you guys. Ren makes really powerful shit

[@TheDougMan]

I was waiting for your reaction to this one. Very thoughtful. Take care.

[@colcar3136]

incredible personal storytelling again from Ren. his descriptions and use of words that make sense and still fit the music is just brilliant. super cool but super powerful as usual

[@Jonesy32]

“Hammer of Thor” as he drinks from The Hammer of Thor! lol

[@MalcolmMXTaylor]

Great reaction as always guys! What a strong message of hope and to raise awareness!! Ren says he hopes this could get into the UK charts this week so let's see!!

[@skurkela]

This might be the last of "Sick Boi". Next album is more guitar and vocals. Can't fucking wait for it!

[@stranger2Utube]

Always a pleasure experiencing Ren with you mates ❤‍🔥

[@JoH4LH44]

Yep. It definitely has soul. Love the beat too and synth like sounds. Thanks for your reaction. ❤

[@caitlinholloway2627]

Hopefully this doesn't come across as creepy or too much, but i really appreciate how open and vulnerable yall let yourselves be when reacting to music. Thank you for doing what yall do, and just existing in general

[@rykerroadMOM3123]

I get so excited for Ren!! 🤗😎

[@user-dv3gv7hh5w]

Love you two!!!

[@DinoNuggiez11]

I think it would be really cool if you reacted to Livingston, his ability to sing is a masterpiece I would recommend listening to shadow

[@coleeg69]

Yeah Ren been dropping these "Chapters" (Missing) on his channels... RenMakesStuff.... about his life and everything. That cutting a hole in his chest was a legit thing he did. Found a TV in an alley and start smashing it then took a piece with him home and decided to cut a hole in his chest to feel "something." Sad, true, powerful... this song is HOPE.

[@braca977]

Hollywood spat me out !😂😂😂😂

[@doylewilks9067]

Same here love you guys

[@PeteFindsObscureStuff]

This feels like a nice book end to Hi Ren. Very grateful that you have followed him and his journey for well over a year now. Cheers fellas!!

[@coleeg69]

Swinging Thor Hammer while Eric is drinking from the hammer of Thor 😆 🤣

[@ginagifun6734]

Subbed and binged all your Ren reactions. Really enjoying your Ren journey. You guys are awesome!

[@marianneszijj3362]

Thank you for continuing to showcase Ren and help him spread awareness and hope with this powerful, autobiographical song. 💔❤️‍🩹❤️

[@CaptainDonato22]

I could really see the emotions (and maybe even past pain/hurt) get to Eric near the end - right when the ‘Lord I forgive you’ part hit. You could see it in his eyes and feel it by the need to curb the emotions with some help from Thor’s Get-Hammered😂 Seemed like a much needed swallow in that moment. But just know that it’s a Superhero kind of thing to be able to allow those emotions to come through. There’s no shame in it, at all. Enjoyed the reaction and seeing you guys appreciate that this isn’t just music… it’s therapy, it’s a vital message, it’s much needed awareness, and it’s a lifeline for many who struggle and are looking for hope and a way to hold on (like ‘the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope’). Honestly, it’s a breath of fresh air in this current mainstream music/diss track state.

[@runnerbean.]

Brilliant reaction guys! ❤

[@exiled666]

If you like the sample have a look at Ren's KZbin short about how he mixed it - very good. Its still part of the "Troubles" sample.

[@gurulimbo]

Great reaction again! 🤛👊🏻😎👍 🔥🌳🌬💨

[@kiwi6665]

Love it when you guys do Ren 🤘🔥

[@francesdoll4039]

Been waiting fir you guys. It's powerful stuff indeed, especially after watching the Chapters.

[@tayaa4846]

Chronic illness here & doctor to doctor is no lie. Still trying to get appropriate treatment. The only good thing has been my ability to advocate for my child. I get ignored & passed around (genetic connective tissue disorder & MCAS) but they listen to me about my child (she’s 12 with the same disorder & POTS).

[@FierceAngel77]

HELL YES!!!!!!!!!

[@juliehoward9654]

Awesome reaction. Hope you will be reacting to Chinchilla's new song 1:5, the live version. It is so so beautiful your going to be blown away. I can't wait until Ren and her drop the new songs they've recorded. They are both so special.

[@JoseCastro-ql7bf]

Yesssssss ❤

I feel Ren is ready to close the Sick Boi chapter now, and ready for the next 🫶

[@Chip_Uchiha]

Always look forward to Rykerroad reactions, you're my favourite reactors by far guys. And also Ren has quickly become one of my favourite artists. Such a talent. Keep it up guys! 😁

Yooo what's good boys get it!

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Ren is proof

you like the background noises Ren released a YT short showing how he did it, it's amazing look it up.....

You should react to "pardon me, I have to go now" by hanabie!!
