Tugged on my heart strings | First Time Reaction | Ren- Dominoes 😔

[@dannford-premiersothebysin9057]

Facts Cliff. This song is so powerful and does need to reach the masses! REN is different from other artist. He isn't preaching or naking fun of people, he is compassionate!

[@francesdoll4039]

And thiswas written in his bedroom right before his biggest health crisis and psychosis. This man is such a warrior

[@annefirethorn3847]

That "she never felt enough" kills me every time. That is a damn relatable feeling.

[@lucketvids]

You just need to believe in yourself. You're truly on your own in the world - make it what you want. You can do anything.

[@Singlespeedjo]

I agree that “this needs to be played everywhere “. I have been in recovery from Anorexia and self harm since 2019. It almost killed me but I am so grateful to be here and to be living life to the fullest. This song is so important for both women and men to hear. So many of us can relate. REN’s lyrics just always hit me so hard. He always puts me in my feelings too. Thank you for your heartfelt and honest reactions Cliff. I pray that you get better soon💕🙏

[@lalunacee9168]

Your strength is admired. This song sure hits but not on the same level as yourself. Wanted to share some love and admiration for an amazing recovery. ❤ Am curious, what some of your other top tunes from Ren are? 🤍

[@thatcanadianwhitetrashguy]

It's in the Poop . You find Out which Gut Bacteria You were Missing when the Problem Started and Replace the Missing Bacteria, Your Condition Fades away in Days. I Promise You this , You were Suffering from a Bacteria Lose in the Tummy and the medical people aren't telling You, they are Studying the Affect of Your Disease to make a Profit.

[@petebrown6356]

As soon as this song talks about Ariah....watch out, it's like a baseball bat of truth to the skull. It has to be one of the most impactful things I've ever heard. I'm now a granddad of two granddaughters, 5 and 7, the realization that this is exactly the world we're bringing them into hits really hard. I've no idea where he gets this stuff.

[@tomsawyer6324]

Being born in 1964 things were a little different than it has become. I was skinny and still am today. At 5ft 10 140lb since 9th grade I was subjected to many forms of ridicule. Hang him up in the health room as a skeleton, stand sideways with tongue out and I look like a zipper. I accepted my body and still do. The inner me is what matters to me and having that way of thinking has been a blessing. I have lost a few friends due to them not accepting who they were inside and it's still painful today to never get to see what they could have become. Inner strength and positive attitude will always make for a better life. Thanks Cliff for having such a big heart

[@nondetection8882]

I think what is great about this song is the way it builds up. Sounds like a pop song, lots of chorus, repetition, there seems to be some social commentary but then towards the end Ren starts firing the words, you are almost caught unaware. Impactful song indeed.

[@TheSyncos]

Look at you, Cliff. At the time of commenting you're at 200k subs. Crushing it.

[@CliffBeatsOfficial]

All because of you guys and amazing artists like Ren ❤️

[@2nicnag2]

@@CliffBeatsOfficialbest music breakdown page!! I learn so very much based on your work within the music industry and music knowledge, as someone who deals with anxiety/depression as well as 3 autoimmune illnesses that have almost killed me several times and how incredible the artists I’ve come across on your page you are my go to page! You deserve to bave 2 million instead of 200,000

[@dawnpatterson8708]

This one, I feel is such an important song. I recommended it to a mental health professional that I see from time to time. Every single line is unfortunate AND true. Each delivered with conviction and a cry in his voice. The passion, you spoke of. The thing about Ren's music, is he writes through the eyes of human experience. Something we ALL have in common. That is why it appeals to people of ALL age brackets. There are certain songs of his that are so important, the world should HEAR them. This is INDEED one of them.

[@darcieturner5423]

Ren shouted out Dirt Miller,and omg, he is amazing, definitely worth checking out, another hidden gem xo

[@QueenofPutrescence]

As a 40 yr old woman, I have been through the ringer of not feeling enough for societies expectations. I've come to realize that I could look absolutely perfect and it still wouldn't be enough. In "Hi Ren" when he said "we are all human beings" a light switched on. I am only human, the beautiful people on magazines are only human, we all go through the exact same struggles, why do we suffer together instead of lifting each other up? I have always been deeply empathetic and loving to everyone I meet, but I would shove that part of me down and focus on how I looked. In my Ren induced state of enlightenment, I realized that is what makes me beautiful; I care for people and their wellbeing. I since have started making it a point to compliment as many strangers as possible every day. When I see I've Brightened someone's day, it lifts us both up and ripples out further into the world. I would like to encourage anyone reading this to do this as well. When someone allows me to go ahead of them in line I look at them lovingly and say "you are so kind thank you!" or I see someone looking extra grumpy, I find something about them, exaggerate it, and tell them how beautiful it is. I am now addicted to seeing confidence wash over these strangers. I feel more secure with every compliment I give and that is beauty.🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Beckaj5446]

Look at what Ren is doing! I have honestly been in awe seeing this incredible movement of people have their lives completely changed by Ren. I’ve read so many comments of positive change people have made in their life, somewhat like you have, though yours is unique and I love it! What is astonishing is that because of their initial positive changes, it leads directly to someone else finding hope in their life (like deciding to live) or the courage to take a leap toward a goal/project they’ve avoided. Or musicians that had months/years long writers block, that just disappeared soon after reacting to Hi Ren. Others who decided to start playing their instruments, singing or doing art again after being inspired by Ren. One of my favorites though is a mental health worker (can’t remember exactly what CD d) who saw Sick Boi. At first he seemed irritated by the depiction of the Doctor, but I think it was more disgusted. He said he always felt like he showed attentive care, but then he asked “Have I actually shown it though, have I ever came across like this to my patients?.” I was honestly shocked, but then I teared up. It might be a small gesture within healthcare but it’s certainly something Ren wants to see changes in and to have someone take your words and internalize them to make sure they are being a better Doctor/person, it’s so wonderful. I know there are many more stories, but for me personally, at first I was just so grateful to have found his amazing music. I love music and have hated mainstream almost everything for a long time. He is a breath of fresh air for sure. But now, now I’m overwhelmingly grateful to have found him as a person and very thankful that I took the time to learn more about who he is. After everything he’s been through, his resolve is something to admire and aspire to. His capacity to show empathy for what seems like everyone, sometimes even all at once, it is incredible and overwhelming to me and I can’t imagine what that might feel like for him. He has restored a little chunk of my faith in humanity and I feel lucky to get to witness his rise and watch as he rises up anyone that he can along his way.

[@Beckaj5446]

Sorry this is so long btw, got carried away I guess.

[@QueenofPutrescence]

@@Beckaj5446 I actually responded to that doctors reaction video, I've struggled with my mental health my whole life and I've never had a doctor willing to take me seriously because of that. When he asked "how can I be better?" I unleashed and told him. What I said amounted to just listen to patients. I am so grateful for Ren, the world will be a much better place once all 7 billion of us hear his message. 💗💗💗

[@QueenofPutrescence]

@@Beckaj5446 Also Mr. Cliff, you are doing the world such a great service as well! Every video you invite us all to go to your ig if we need someone to talk to. That's a good heart right there! So much love for you!! 💗

[@tjh5716]

Great comment.

[@TeahVickery]

The reason I kept coming back to your channel after I first stumbled upon it, Cliff, is that you are as disarmingly honest and real as Ren is. It was clear to see that you are genuinely genuine, it's not a show, you aren't afraid to show the bad with the good, and it's a breath of fucking fresh air, pardon the language. I'm so happy to see you're at 200k, it makes my heart full to see you getting the following you and your message deserve. Always remember during the hard times that you are loved by so many people. ❤❤❤

Not only does REN content need to be shared but your video and reaction needs to be share to people and our youth. Our youth need to see reactions like this so they can understand more and it took us all a while to understand this but we did not have inspiration like you and Ren

[@John_McDonnell_76]

Parents of young girls need to hear this. I have 2 teenage daughters and I constantly try to build them up and show them just how special and amazing they are.

[@bhudzietz333]

My thoughts exactly.

[@Fubar42]

I listened to this tune before but it hit me hard today. Ren speaks so much truth that the whole world could do with hearing, he speaks it with love. Doing therapy right now for all the childhood trauma, rape, bullying, anorexia, self harm, drugs. Ren's music always provides perspective, a moment of reflection, a lesson. Thanks for the reaction Cliff.

[@elanorfairbairn]

This song is mind blowingly haunting and unfortunately accurate. Getting bullied for my weight and looks was soul crushing as a kid and finding self love and acceptance as I grow older is a challlenge in this society. Lovely reaction my man!

[@suemiller2522]

I have this in my playlist and it came up while I was out for a walk the other day, so there I was bawling by myself while walking past the happy little ducks. Ren, man. He's amazing and he nailed it yet again. Love your channel, Cliff.

[@antonyainsworth1665]

No matter how much I see and hear of Ren he just never fails, we really really need him now to open the eyes of the world. Great reaction thanks brother

[@elevown]

It shouldnt be that we are suprised and moved that someone sings about things like this- yet we are. Should be a LOT more artists calling out facts like this than Ren, but im very glad he does. And even with such impactful words he still gives us great tunes.

[@kirstyoneill6609]

Let's show some love to Ren guys and give him a follow xx Cliff awesome reaction xx ❤ xx

[@AlexMH1991]

The first time I listened to this song it brought me to tears because I was bullied as a teen, struggled with an ED and SH and the song just hit too close to home. As you said, it's a powerful song with a powerful message and everyone should listen to it because it speaks so much truth. Thank you for reacting to it and for always supporting Ren!

[@bewilderedboy1]

200k 🎉 Congratulations dude, you deserve it. Back to Ren - it’s so good to see someone like you, a professional songwriter, giving props to his writing. It is THAT GOOD. He genuinely is a once in a lifetime artist and we need to celebrate him. Keep up the great work, much love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Well done Cliff for 200k. Amazing reaction to very brilliant and sensitive song. Ren makes you stop and think about issues people are not talking about. Stay strong all ✌️

[@alexiaspaedt-mcintosh5311]

I absolutely love this song... I had my kids listen so they know that they are perfect as they are and the message to love themselves as such!

[@notanormi]

I really appreciate how real you are! I'm going through a time in my life where I feel like something reached down into my soul and ripped out my joy and desire to live life. I'm not suicidal. I just feel empty. You seem like someone I could break bread with and just talk it out. Ya know? Thank you for showcasing Ren and just being you.❤

[@Shiroar]

Remember how he did very briefly touch upon this topic in the response to CNN? He said something about how maybe all those things on TikTok that they were criticising weren’t cautionary but reactionary since we live in an epidemic of insecurity. Ren is brilliant in the ways he speaks out about problems.

[@justicedelayed]

You've quickly become one of my favorite reacters. Thank you for what you do. It's amazing that not only are you spotlighting amazing artists, but you're also putting yourself out there to help others who may not have anyone else. We need more of this in the world, on social media. Less spite and hate and division and more of this. Also enjoy your reactions.

[@melissasantiago4056]

This song hits me at my core, I'm 41 and remember as a little girl in early elementary school praying to God that he would wake up beautiful and skinny. I was a bit of a chubby kid. I still have a lot of insecurities but now I have a 20 and 13 year old daughters that I try my best to lift them up. But in this world anymore it is so difficult.

[@lk2275]

Beautiful and powerful song from Ren. Thank you Cliff for your kind thoughts and support. Bless your heart. It starts young and just becomes worse for females as they grow older and it truly never ends until we say enough. Women get dumped by their husbands in their 50s even if they are a year apart because she's just too old and ugly. I'm down today, but I will be up again someday.

[@elenaorujev3494]

Ren goes straight to the heart of the issues!

[@drealyn1486]

Great reaction. This song is so powerful, I think, because we all have insecurities, it's just so relatable.

Wow. Haven´t heard this one from Ren before. Love to share the first time with this community. Thank you from within

[@catherinerobbins3887]

He really is just so wonderful and humble and kind. He shouted out my 10 year old to keep going with his music. Im raising a kid whose tested out over genius levels and hes been playing classical piano since he was 4. Picking it up by ear. He also has many many disabilities..which also brings out his incredible artistic capabilities. Ren pushed him foward. His birthday is tomorrow hell be 11 and he felt like he got a birthday present from ren just for that message. Just stunned by this amazing human being.

I had never watched any reaction videos until i found Ren... Now i watch them all rhe time to prove that other people feel exactly the same way i do, we just havent talked about it openly.... Until now He's giving us permission to be vulnerable and connect with other humans ... We ARE all connected by our emotions and the more we connect and bring each other up the more we can all make a REAL difference not just for ourselves but for others... And the feeling of being able to help others is so much better rhan anything money can buy Thank you for helping to spread this message and be open on a public platform. ❤

[@ms.lisamarie82]

Ren has this innovative way for putting lyrics together that cause this knee jerk reaction of emotion as if I were watching In real time. As in my heart wants to pick Ariah up and hug her, and then track down whoever made him ever feel that way and throw hands.

[@ifelthope100]

Ren writes the kind of music that changes lives. What a beautiful gift that man shares with the world.

This is one of Ren’s songs that I usually don’t listen to. It’s a great song and has a great message, but damn 🥺😭 I only watched this because it’s your reaction, there is only a few reactions of it that I’d watch. Loved your reaction, Ren has a way with his words, I’ve seen his music elicit every emotion, sometimes even in one song.

[@sammyd8860]

Ren has a way of calling out the simple ugly truths of our society, in pointing out the inhumanity of certain sections of "humanity", and offering a hand to anyone who feels overlooked or at the bottom of the pile. Like he says in The Hunger, he doesn't preach but he does teach. A beautiful moving song. Love your reactions as ever.

[@Sabrina-wz9ko]

Congrats on 200K 🥳💜 So glad someone requested this one. Songs like this and Baz Luhrmann's Everybody's free (to wear Sunscreen) might not be able to cure people, but I truly believe they help remind us that we are all human, we all have struggles of some sort or other, we should all embrace our uniqueness, and we are not alone. You've probably already heard it, but maybe you could react to Baz's song anyway, the 7min version. Help bring it back a bit... a lot of really good advice in it for everyone in a mellow yet positive tone. It's certainly helped me during some dark times over the last 20+ years.

Lovely thoughtful reaction Cliff, as always. A great follow on from this song would be See Me - the song just released by Sam Thomkins, Ren's busking brother which is a really raw and vulnerable offering from Sam about not feeling good enough. I know you'd do a reaction to it and Sam's talent justice
