THE BEST SONG I’VE HEARD BY REN? INSOMNIA REACTION

[@kronikassassin]

"You can offend people by being yourself" Thats a fucking bar and exactly why im only myself when I'm alone

[@TheDonDann]

@@kronikassassin yeah I spit a lot of game in all my reactions not just the Ren ones… Incase you interested in checking out my other content..

[@GabeHornne]

Damn bro thats a nice ass spot you got by the lake ❤ still watching your reaction and i think this is gonna be that song that you connect with. That has you liking Ren like i do lol. The next time you do a Ren reaction you should check out Dear God

[@gddss42]

Great recommendation! Seconded. Please check it out.

[@christina_ellis]

❤

[@TheDonDann]

Dear God? I gotcha bro.

[@dmckinney703]

You are at the beginning of an Awakening…I can feel it. The more you question the thinking you’ve always had the more you are open to a new way of living that you could only imagine for yourself.

[@TheDonDann]

Yeah I can’t say I disagree my brother

[@lucygonzalez-zo5nz]

Wow, what an incredible sunset. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful backdrop. I use to be an over thinker. I’ve done a lot of work on learning how to be more present. Just coincidentally I listen to an old podcast with a woman who defected from North Korea literally listen to it this morning. She mentioned how in North Korea they don’t think for themselves. Everything is decided for you. She said the hardest thing she had to learn after she escaped was how to think for herself. I felt really grateful to have the freedom to think. So many times in the past I just wanted to shut off my thoughts. Listening to her gave me a whole other perspective. Great reaction. Thank you

[@TheDonDann]

W comment I may need to check that out and see what she says she did to better control her mind and how she thought. I would love to check that out it could give me things to show my platform since I am ultimately trying to raise awareness for mental health and things people can do to better deal with it.

Bravo for looking words up. Feed your brain and it will reward you. “The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man who does not ask is a fool for life.” ― Confucius

[@TheDonDann]

W comment bro I love shit like that, hell yeah man I always been a believer in that myself I rather really know things then to act like it and end up getting called out on something I acted like I knew. That’s embarrassing as hell to me. So ima always admit if I don’t know then try to find out, it’s just my nature and what I believe type shit so I appreciate you for fuckin wit it bro

[@sigally]

Great reaction! I think when it comes to music like this, what you get out of it at the time is what's important. Not about right or wrong, interpretation matters most. Your next one should be Ren's Dear God. I don't believe God will strike me or anyone else for questioning things or even for not believing. About Insomnia, Ren has been recently struggling with it since he left Canada as he also quit smoking the devils lettuce. He talks about it towards the end of this clip. kzbin.info/www/bejne/joi3pWeNf75lnLssi=Jo2E0lIGMmEI3K_k

[@TheDonDann]

Yeah I aint sure what the devils lettuce is, but i definitely gotta find a way to quit this weed.

[@sigally]

@@TheDonDann lol, it's another word for weed😊

[@wellnessbeatsreacts]

You spoke to my soul with this reaction bro!! I love this song by him so much, it's a description of my life too. I've been trying to sleep ever since I can remember. You're reaction was the best reaction of this song yet that I've seen fr. Thank you for making me cry again! 😂🖤🤍✨️

[@TheDonDann]

Big ups to yu, thank you for watching and everything else you do. One day ima bless your game like you've done for me.

[@jamaykapranion1130]

Fantastic reaction, my friend! I can relate to this song so much. As far as questioning god, I think it's healthy. Now, I am not a religious person, so what I have to say, you can take it or leave it. Questioning things is how we learn. It's how we become better people. It's how we move forward. A curious mind is beautiful. 💛💛💛

[@TheDonDann]

Great opinion i choose to take it 😊

[@anitamccall4051]

Appreciate your faith 🙏♥️your reactions are always next level

[@TheDonDann]

Much love, Thank you for watching!

[@francesdoll4039]

That was a beautiful reaction. You think. You are humble. There are a lot of possible meanings. Ren stopped smoking as well and he has been having a real rpugh time sleeping. But like you, he doesnt want to be dependent on things. Goid luck with that. Yoy are never alone.

[@TheDonDann]

Yeah I’m going to take quitting serious and go head and face this

[@belgand5555]

One of the things that attracts me to Ren is his use of language … mixing the words between the street and proper … Ren is an old soul, but very fresh and new… he gathers things from everywhere and everyone and adds his unique perspective… he reminds me a lot of my other favourite artist the late David Bowie.. he was also a great collector and genre bender with a very interesting way of wording things.. Thank you my friend… I appreciate your effort’s tremendously and the scenery and things were a nice touch. ❤

[@TheDonDann]

Thank you for watching

[@Ph4n_t0m]

His lyrics are on another level, and they elevate us as listeners - the old 'rising tide lifts all ships' happening again!

[@TheDonDann]

Yeah I be struggling with the lyrics lol

[@Ph4n_t0m]

​@@TheDonDann it is a struggle that has nothing but pay-offs my brother. An increased vocabulary brings so much depth and richness and colour to our experiences it's incredible. Vocabulary is my personal treasure stash. Keep getting richer! Much love!

[@PippaHinchleyComedy]

Props to you, man, for looking words ip you dont know - it was great to watch you work it out - lots of people don't allow themselves to be SEEN to not know something like this - they just skip over it - You are so honest and it's lovely. Pippa (UK) ❤

[@TheDonDann]

Easier to be honest then put up a front.

[@daphneparkin6869]

Great reaction! All your questions made me pay attention more closely to the meaning of the lyrics and see them in different lights. Thanks!

[@TheDonDann]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@Mookeedo]

Check out Dear God by Ren

[@TheDonDann]

Bet. Stay tuned.

[@mama-llama4527]

I am 51 years old and am really really impressed by you. Respect.

[@TheDonDann]

Respect I appreciate that.. you know… it really does something to me to know I got adults watching and supporting me.. not kids who wana just see bs all the time. Means a lot to be putting content out for a real audience. Thank you for being apart of this journey. Fr 🙏🏾

[@iandavison3704]

Beyonce first group was Destinys child who had a big hit with Im a surviver ..Ren twists it by saying ..But im a surviver a child of destiny ,, Rens use of lyrics are chosen very cleverly ,

[@TheDonDann]

Damn I actually didn't even catch that 🤯

[@rednesbit4920]

I love that REN’s words inspire to learn … it’s a beautiful thing ❤️

[@TheDonDann]

Hell yeah gotta expand the vocabulary

[@suesee4855]

You got something special. If your success offends people, find new friends. Much love ❤️ Sue

[@TheDonDann]

So true! I heard that!

[@momstin58]

Back in the day, I always had the dictionary handy when listening to Eminem so I could understand his meaning 😅. Good on you wanting to understand. Stop and talk about the lyrics as much as you want, it's your stage. Love how real you are. 💜💜

[@TheDonDann]

I appreciate you for watching the content and rocking with it! Can’t wait til you see what I have coming next.

[@momstin58]

@@TheDonDann ❤️

[@Tokin420]

Loved this reaction. I love that u will stop to look up the words if u don't know their meaning. I like that u want to understand Ren's songs. And that lake was definitely an awesome view. Have u checked out ahiahiahohah by ren yet? If not check it out

[@TheDonDann]

I appreciate you for watching! 🙏

[@hummingbirdstones]

Totally enjoyed your reaction and the fact that you were trying to noodle out the meaning. Sometimes it takes some time to figure out exactly what he is saying or what he means. He's a pretty deep dude. Subbing to watch your Ren journey and because I really did enjoy your reaction. ♥

[@TheDonDann]

Cool beans the journey will not stay Ren tho, subscribe knowing that please please lol

[@hummingbirdstones]

@@TheDonDann I thought I was the only person who still said cool beans! 🤣 No worries. I don't just listen to Ren (but I do alot). I listen to other stuff, too. Much love.

[@jonesy642]

You're respect and appreciation for Ren earned you a new subscriber. You have a lot to add to the world with your introspection and thoughts on the music you listen to. Keep going man 🤙

[@TheDonDann]

I appreciate that! Thank you subbing up and being apart of the youtube journey!

[@Sonotfrench]

I’m a bit late to this but 1) loved this video and your reaction and 2) I just wanted to say - never shy away from being yourself because the people you offend by being yourself aren’t your people. Being yourself and unafraid of showing your true self and sharing your thoughts and opinions is the best way to find people that are on your wave length and worthy of being your friend. And there’ll be lots of people also that don’t always agree with you yet they will still love you for you. So let yourself be seen, remember you’re a treasure that deserves to shine in the light ✨❤love from across the pond 🇬🇧

[@LHartman-gj7dl]

Sending you such a massive virtual hug from the UK. Big love 🖤

[@TheDonDann]

Ahh huh received thank you! lol shouts out to the UK!

[@AmaBrigitte]

You are starting to see the essence of Ren! He creates music for real people! I love the guitar in it too! Now go listen to Depression, Crutch, Seven Sins,Power, Suicide, Diazepam, Ocean, Humble etc, just keep going! I am so happy I found you, you are an amazing reactor and I see you are evolving with Ren's music❤

[@TheDonDann]

Lol well here’s seven sins kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4fHZ52Md8p6fsksi=htBsCPDIpvfEGvVj Power (which is a really good song btw) kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4aXmZ17e8iYaKcsi=6c9iG4_eIcw3aXfE And Suicide kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHy0lHZsbNV5o6Msi=AeefAOTEgW9BhlB- Hope you enjoy those!

[@AmaBrigitte]

@@TheDonDann thanks for these! Can't understand how I missed them!

[@lussacmomin6178]

Incase you missed it, there were multiple Guitar Licks in this Song rare to such in a rap song especially that too played by the rapper himself

[@TheDonDann]

Yeah I might've missed that.

[@donald1379]

Great track....thanks

[@TheDonDann]

Thanks for listening!

[@dannyworten5876]

Another artist to dive into is Prof . He can be deep,and very serious ,or he can be hilarious,you never know but youll be entertained ! Hes got issues mentally but covers them with humor,to deal with his pain I guess.Fire Lessons, Creek Boy or Flower Boy are a few to start with

[@TheDonDann]

Ima go head and check him out see what’s up.

[@Roseyworthen]

Congratulations 😅 on you and your new family..give you all blessing..thanks for the book peace out

Everybody drops and Hold on next✋

[@JasonBrossa]

I'm really glad you took the time to look up the words. BTW God sent his son here so through Jesus he could feel the pain.

[@TheDonDann]

Thank you for the clarity I always appreciate it and hell yeah I gotta look words up when I don’t know them bro I just… have too I can’t help it lol

[@marielleklimsop]

Love your vibe! I subscribed. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@TheDonDann]

Thanks for subbing!

[@christina_ellis]

the constant conscious questioning of my conscience is so frequent the more I see and live with the in real time deterioration of my moms losing battle with schizophrenia and her absolute denial that there is anything wrong. Her delusions make me wanna shake a Christmas tree in frustration. I feel the need to "audit" my awareness of reality and conscious decision making is truly made on facts and verifiable information because that crazy women sees none of her crazy. I fear being blind to it.

[@TheDonDann]

We are in this together that sounds a lot like my issue.

[@B.JAM_]

I have never wished I could sit down and have a discussion with a reactor so much in my life. I’m only going to talk about the “questioning God” part even though I have so many thoughts on other things you discussed. I believe you are a parent? I was taught to view God as a father. If one of your children was hurting and crawled in your lap asking why they have to hurt I don’t believe you would look at it as a disrespectful questioning of your authority or parenting. They ask because they trust you with their pain and believe that you have the ability to lead them forward. Also, God already knows you have questions. As long as you aren’t approaching it with disrespect in your heart I don’t view it as wrong. I view it as desperately needing your daddy. Also I was taught to watch out for wanting to have good character or do right only because you fear God’s vengeance. You want to do it because you love Him and you know He loves you and wants what is best for you. I found living in fear of my creator to be restrictive to my growth as a person on earth and a child of God. Just my two cents on that subject. Loved this reaction as always. Stay real and Bless Your Life my friend ❤

[@TheDonDann]

Damn I wish I could do a video response to this comment this piece was really good I appreciate that. Thank you for sharing this with me it does give me a different way to look at that particular part of the video. Thank you for watching and shidd maybe one day we will actually get that sit down with each other. Bro one day I’m going to meet you guys one by one, when I have more money and can do some for yall watch.

[@B.JAM_]

@@TheDonDann one day! I’ve been listening to your music today. Thank you for sharing with us in many different ways. Bless your life my friend ❤️

[@Codex7777]

Bloody hell! People really do believe some utter nonsense! lol. Funnily enough, they always manage to twist that nonsense to fit what they already think/feel anyway. :)

[@Marleeboy]

God wants you too question! Free will ❤

[@kevint89]

Hahaha, Ren has a whole catalogue, not even just rap. I don't even know where to start.

[@TheDonDann]

I just chose to jump right in lol

hope is a dangerous thing for some people

[@FIDIOT-cringe]

That's your house in the background too huh? 😊❤

[@TheDonDann]

Might be might not be

[@Codex7777]

Ren was unable to get any real sleep for the best part of 7 years! Largely duto being in constant, unrelenting, 24 hour, excruciating, chronic pain. Which, in turn meant he had zero energy to do anything at all. He couldn't socialise, read, watch tv or films. He just lay there, totally and utterly exhausted, in never-ending pain.

[@TheDonDann]

Always appreciate the insight bros thank you for watching

[@StormySunshine]

This is one of my favorites by Ren. I love that you look up words that you don't know. Your reactions are always authentic and I appreciate the work you put in to push out reactions. 🖤🤍

[@TheDonDann]

Thank you!

[@nickibridges2898]

Fantastic reaction! Thank you for your insights and don't worry is people get offended. That's on them, not on you! 🫶
