THIS IS A BANGER! | Ren - "LOST ALL FAITH" | Reaction

[@craigthir6578]

When a 66 yr. old Canadian who grew up listening to Jim Reeves loves Ren, then you know this man is special. This man is so unique and so talented. Love and respect, kids, hog fam Canada 🇨🇦 ❤

[@horsehollerer]

I'm also partial to a bit of Jim from time to time. I have fond memories of my dad playing Welcome to My World and I Love You Because on our old record player. What a gorgeous vocal he had! (JR, that is, although my Dad wasn't bad when he sang along 🤣). I'm also a big Billie Eilish fan, and I like a lot of like a lot of metal and punk/alternative bands. Ren has opened up my eyes to hip hop as an art form (not just a culture), and several great channels like this one are helping me understand it and enjoy it. Cheers.

The British avoid hangovers by eating late night kebabs so dodgy the food poisoning will purge the alcohol before it does us any harm ;)

[@amyaeschbach3581]

You guys get so much. But listen closely to this comment about late night kabobs giving salmonella!! Right on. But the refers to Nigella Lawson stacking mozzarella. Ok so the cook stacking cheese. But also with Salmonella you need nigella- “Nigella sativa controls and protects against Salmonella” so maybe nigella La-son, mozzarella- type of string cheese in Uk known for medicinal properties. Ren doubles and triples.

[@fiz_g2912]

crazy how many styles he can perfect

[@spruce381]

I was 57 on Saturday - Marley, Bowie, Costello, Rowland, Chuck D, and many more - thought I’d heard the best - but Feb 23, found an artist as good as anybody up to now. Rap, Reggae, Rock, Jazz, Pop, Dance, Ska, Crooning - he draws from obvious knowledge and love of them all, and more.

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

This song and most of this album was written two years ago after he'd just had a medical setback and was angry at the world. I can't wait for the next album where he's in a better place. He's said it's going to be more singing and guitars. Can't wait. And also can't wait for Money Game 3! Come on October 13! Everybody who can afford $4.99 should pre-order his digital album, Sick Boi so we can try to get our boy to #1! He's currently #2 behind Rolling Stones. That may be a big hurdle to overcome!

[@MegsD79]

This is officially my favorite Ren song! It speaks to my soul!! ❤️❤️

[@MegsD79]

There are so many Ren songs that I haven't seen you guys react to yet. Maybe I didn't find them cuz they are on a live stream or something. But his catalog goes back over 10 years. I think you guys would bring a different vibe and perspective to Ren's songs that not many of the other reactors have. If there are more then what I'm seeing listed out when I go thru the videos page can someone please point me in the right direction to find them? ❤ Money Game 3 is being released on Oct 12th, the day before the Album release date. Ren said Money Game 3 is about as long as Hi Ren and that it is his favorite song he's made so far and the one he is most proud of. If it's better then this song and The Tales Of Jenny, Screech and Violet and better then Money Game 1 and 2 and better then Hi Ren than I guess Money Game 3 is going to EPIC! He also says he has almost finished writing for the next album and that's going to lean more on his singing then on the rapping. I love the songs where he combines the singing and rapping. He said he also wrote another song similar to The Tales trilogy.

[@Shiroar]

Such a fricking masterpiece. The contrast between the raw rapping and beautiful singing is just perfect and the production is amazing. Ren is truly something special. Also I love all the little bits of reoccurring lyrics throughout these songs. It’s like everything is connected in a Reniverse tapestry and I can’t wait to hear how the entire album works together. Clever, creative, and so authentic 🐰🕳️

[@samuelsomething6059]

Had to like and had to comment. Was great watching you both dissect the lyrics. I think there's an interplay between this song and "Masochist". They both must've been written around the same time? Lost All Faith: "Pain is my sheppard, my sword and my shield" - This is a masochist. Someone who is guided by and feels comfort in pain. Masochist: "Kill all these metaphors I write to all attachments in this life" - This is what someone would do if they lost all faith and gave up on "life". Also the lyric, "I find refuge in patience and pills" to me means that his only hope was that his treatments would eventually help. (Thankfully, they are making a difference!) Anyway, extremely deep and dark lyrically. Ren was definitely in a bad place a couple of years ago. Thanks for the reaction, watch you guys often.

[@andrewsears16]

Good spotting sir.

[@darrenmcaleese5139]

In the UK there’s a massive drinking culture. Living for the weekend means to go out and get drunk on cans of Stella. After the drinking and before you go home everyone buys food which is usually horrible kebabs which can give you food poisoning

[@BoldDreadman]

Exactly... Great UK reference❤

[@brandonbuckles826]

@@darrenmcaleese5139 Yeah I remember when I lived in the UK, the kebab place by my flat was the only place open late

[@survivalrush]

Love your reactions, man. The bad kebabs line was a reference to UK culture. It's extremely common after going out to a pub, or club, to go get a kebab from somewhere afterwards. There're a lot of smaller takeaways, and even street vendors in some cities, that sell kebabs, chips, etc for those finishing a night out in the early hours 🙂

I think Ren wrote these song 2 years ago, even before he wrote Hi Ren. He has songs about his illness & pains going back 3 years ago, “Everybody Drops”, “Penitence”, “Do You Believe It’s Morning”…

Fire reaction to my new favourite Ren song. This man never misses. I was a little on the fence with Down on the Beat but it turns out it was a grower. Cheers from Tasmania Australia 👋👋👋🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🐨🐨🐨✌🏼

[@miggy051]

The "The Blood on The Leaves" line comes from a song by Billie Holiday, and the song’s name is Strange Fruit, about lynchings in the south during the1930’s. It was a very controversial song for the time, and she was not allowed to play it live. Great reaction as always. Cheers mate.

[@wainsws57]

Great breakdown guys👍. Ren has a gift to relate to us all but somehow leaving each bar to our own interpretation. Amazing skill.

[@francesdoll4039]

2 things to add. When Ren was housebound he would judge how much weight he was losing by the way his shirt fit. ( cosistency) And when he first got sick he talked about vomiting up blood and not saying anything about it so he could keep his dream alive. This song is si powerful. You guys did a great job.

Yooooo, the Ali G callout was epic. I've not seen anyone else get that. It's 100% Ren to put that line in.

[@paulo4223]

Love the reactions guys. Subbed. "I contemplate existence with consistence in my polo shirt " Einstein reference?..maybe?.. Theres a story .. possibly an urban myth.. that Einstein wore a clean set of identical clothes everyday. That way he didn't have to waste any brain power on choosing what clothes to put on each day, while he contemplated our existence. Ren is superb. In Life Is Funny, he raps about 'splitting atoms' and 'molecule divided' and 'Hadron Collider' (CERN in Switzerland). I love his little easter eggs and little motifs he slips in ❤. Love what you do guys.

[@idiostylze]

I read somewhere that Ren had said that he used to have a polo shirt he wore to assess the state of his body - how much weight he'd lost, how the shirt fit day to day etc. Sure someone will come along with a source eventually:)

[@grizm]

He's consistently so high in a level. He's like a poet but over incredible beats and with an incredible flow. What a talent Great reaction as always, love how you give an insight into the meaning of the wordplay.

. Kebab shops are a British extension of a nightclub, and always the best bit of the night!

[@annegreen9499]

The "pain is my shepherd, my sword & my shield etc" is the 23rd Psalm "The Lord's My Shepherd", but he's flipped the lyrics. There's quite a lot of religious imagery/word play in it. Ali G is from England.

[@jlock6901]

I f'n love your Ren reactions 💯! You both get it! Dude is real af in a world full of copy/paste music.

[@DyvmSlorm]

No idea if this is where Ren was thinking but, when you hunt bigger game, it often doesn't die right away. You go search where you shot it and look for blood on the leaves and then follow the trail. So, this could mean Ren feels like a wounded animal who leaves blood on the leaves when he fell.

[@Bethany0420]

That's an amazing interpretation of that line, I would've never thought of that, but it makes perfect sense. 💯

[@AlanMordue-hx5wv]

Fire reaction again! Love how you look up every word you can't interpret, right away. That's an education...

[@fulltimefreelance]

when your talking about the bad kebabs and salmonela bar - I think it references the fact that here in the UK at the weekend, people go out to bars and clubs, they close in the early hours of the morning and there is usually a dodgy kebab shop nearby so people buy one on the way home.

[@loneyb11]

Kebabs is what you eat after a night out in the UK. Bars close, hit the hole in the wall food joints!!!

[@stormingjales]

can you imagine this one when sings in his shows??? everybody singing the chorus like crazy? this is my top1 by him out of all his catalog, and i hate picking favorites.

[@matthewwalker5430]

The Kebab bar is probably a bit too specifically British for you to pick up on maybe. In the UK Kebab shops are everywhere and they're usually open quite late at night. They're sort of like fast-food but they're not part of any sort of chain. There are some really good quality Kebab shops around but there are also quite a few which are, how do I put it, quite dirty and not well looked after. It is pretty standard behaviour for a typical drunken night out to end with a Doner Kebab in the UK and the notion is that when you're drunk you don't really have the wits about you to evaluate the quality of the Kebab shop you've ended up in. It's very common to wake up in the morning with a bad stomach, usually a result of too much drinking, but blame it on the Kebab from the night before, lol

[@NastyCrabcakes]

I absolutely love this song. Great reaction as always guys.

[@CaseyStuht]

If you haven't done it yet I think you would enjoy his song "Power". Great reaction though it's awesome to see people work through the lyrics and find their own meetings instead of how many reactors just act like they know exactly what an artist meant.

The lady singer was a sample. But he is working on a song with Eden Nash on his next album

Brilliant breakdown.. thank you… and ps not Chinchilla just a sample 😁

[@garyb7837]

BluRay cover to : The hills have eyes III, is kinda similar to the imagery of RENs eyes on the landscape and the 345 pills? I googled the following: The number 3 represents creativity and communication, 4 signifies stability and foundation, and 5 symbolizes change and adventure. Together, these numbers amplify the message of positive transformation and encourage you to embrace the journey ahead.

[@amandacollins2854]

When you are weekend late night drinking ,kebabs are the food of choice , either from a kebabs shop if you are lucky, if not ,a food truck , and depending on the time of night, they might not be very fresh .Thus Samenella ( food poisoning). None of which Ren dose, because he has a strict food diet, his body rejects many of the things we take for granted.

In the UK, people go out on weekends, to clubs/pubs and end up eating kebabs from dodgy street food vendors ......salmonella reference. When he was bedridden, living in his room 23hrs per day, he would use his shirt size to monitor his weight loss/gain ...:)

[@iandavison3704]

This song is Rens search for the cure for his illness ..while being misdiagnosed for an illness he never had and going through the pain suffering and many symptoms and different side affects from being on the wrong medications ..this is confirmed with the lyrics and distorted sounds at the end the visuals showing the pills being taken and the Repeated words... Could you be the one ? basically could you be the one medication that cures my pain and suffering . Thas is my own opinion on how i read the song ... nice reaction guys

[@1Beerme]

Salmonella and kebabs....if u were out in UK pubbin & clubbin, (visiting bars and nightclubs), in 80's / 90's, u always got a dodgy kebab covered in chilli sauce at 3am on the way home resulting in a "salmonella enhanced" hangover!! The best times lol

[@leonantoniou6192]

The bad kebab reference: here in the uk we go out and get drunk on the weekends - and on the way home we stop by a dodgy kebab shop and roll the dice whether we are sick in the morning Refuge is to seek a form of shelter and to hide from an external dangerous force. Somewhat like a safe-space

[@ratmackay]

Blood on the leaves as a reference to lynchings comes from Strange Fruit...i don't think Ren was going for a reference to that or anything specific...but he does know his Nina Simone, so the phrase may just live in his head.

[@sigally]

Pretty sure I found the connection with his Muhammed Ali references. A NY times magazine series called "The lives they lived" Here's an excerpt from the piece. "Ali leaned out and shouted to Joe: “You’re my brother! I love you, and I couldn’t lie to you.” Soon, he made his way to the fire escape, put an arm around Joe and guided him inside.

I think he says i calm my nerves by plotting for the day thay i might leave this earth.. is about because hes in so much pain living (lyme disease and the infections along with that etc, hes very poorly and in pain) so it actual calms him to know one day he will no longer be living in pain, one day he will be gone painfree and at peace. But also he says plotting ,for that, and he has said theres been many times hes been suic*dal due to his mental and physical illnesses/ suffering. He's been quite a fighter all his life through a lot of adversity.

[@griffygut7683]

'Lifting my eyes to the hills' feels like an old religious reference of looking for your savior (who in Christianity did on that hill.) Instead Ren finds his trinity of pain. Freaking bar

[@griffygut7683]

Feels like there is a strong trinity play. Ren segments the song in 3 sections of leads with drinking, sex, drugs. Feels like a nod to the British poet John Keat, who claimed his trinity to be 'Wine, women, and snuff until I cry out 'hold enough.'" I may be reading into it, but Ren is that kind of deep too
