Thankyou for reacting to my video guys! The support is massively appreciated, and grateful for the kind words! Will be checking out more reaction videos from you guys for sure!
I’d seen you vid before but wanted to see the lads reaction. I’ve had a rough few years and coming out the other side of the tunnel. This song is such a good articulation of the constant struggle for our soul and hope moving forward. Touched me deep. Keep doing what you doing!! Mad to see you comment on these guys channel too 😊
Absolutely I love to watch their face when he turns it around and stands up. And then the end , like an epitaph. And a prayer. It’s fucking fantastic to watch. I love it! Watch the ones from those that deal with mental health. And this one, with multiple people.! This could be a pastime for a long ass time! Have fun!
I jumped on the #Ren train through #HiRen, like 10 days ago, and I can't stop watching reactions. But I've watched Cartier reactions, for a looong time, already. So my boy in green on the left keeping his cool, for once, was hilarious to see. He's the cute showboat of the bunch, and he knows it, and seeing him doing the 🤯 gesture was a genuine reaction I appreciate. 10 points from Griffyndor for your man on the right putting on shades when he got hit in his feels. That kind of depletes the purpose of the video, because you want to see the reactor's eyes, most. It was a telling moment and he revealed some vulnerability and self-consciousness by doing that.
YES! MY ONLY QUESTION... SO SO SO SILENT! WHY NOW? DUDE ON THE RIGHT, SUNGLASSES, GREY HOODIE! U FEEL SOOO MUCH! YOU ARE MY YOUNGEST SON. SHUT DOWN AND FEEL THE TREMENDOUS PAIN. BLESS Y'ALL!🤗
Ren prior to releasing this song. " Up until I was 9 years old, I would intermittently hear a voice in my head that was not my own. The voice was distinctly different to mine, and always negative. It would self criticise or urge me to do things I knew to be morally wrong. The most peculiar thing about the voice was that it took no effort on my behalf to produce. My own thoughts always felt like there was a process that required effort to bring them to the forefront of my mind, this voice appeared as though it was spoken by another. The sentences felt predetermined like they had already been constructed. I remember very vividly at 9 years old, becoming very frustrated with the voice. I stood in my back yard, internally screaming at the voice to be silent again and again, and it did. In a flash there was silence, to the point where my head felt like an empty room. I wasn't used to the quiet and that voice never returned. It almost felt lonely in my head. When I got older I had intermittent bouts with auditory hallucinations where I would hear perfect symphonies, usually at night when drifting off to sleep. They were so clear that they sounded like they were emanating from a radio in the corner of my room. I knew they weren't there, but for some reason they never came with the feeling of fear.

I know Ren doesn't care about the BS industry, but he deserves every accolade and industry wide recognition for this. Seriously, this should be song of the year, video of the year, mental health awareness campaign of the year, and more. Calling on all Ren fans - let's make this happen. Download everywhere, share everywhere, lobby everywhere. Salute. Peace.
@@amydavies2529 friend that's how independent artists work, independent artist doesn't mean making the music and not putting it out anywhere, it means working outside of the mainstream publishers and companies
BRILLIANT! I cried at the young man’s ability to express the internal/ mental struggle. He fought both physically and mentally for years after his diagnosis. God Bless him. HOPE!!!
“That just messed up my frequencies real bad right now.” 😂😂😂 We need to be scrambled every now and then. Thank the algorithm gods for recommending Ren to me - straight obsessed! ❤
It’s mad to think cardi b is blowing up and actual musicians like ren have to put every last breath into it just to be noticed. crazy the work he’s been in
This song is absolutely incredible, this man is a lyrical genius. This song is a back and forth battle with his subconscious, he mentioned suffering from psychosis so maybe this is a character he’s playing. He also plays temptation and hope and the structure to this song is just beautiful. It’s so interesting and different and melodically perfect I can tell this man is going places!
Not only is Ren a blosoming genius, he is an excellent guitar player and vocalist. His minstral triology is a must: Jenny, Screech and Violet in that order or you mess up the reveal. If you want to hear him rapping then check out Genesis - both versions! He covers similar areas that X covered but his songs are longer. Can't believe he has not had a hit yet - but maybe because he was messed up with lymes disease for several years. I think Power was an easy radio hit but not noticed by the mainstream. All of his material is excellent!
Exactly!! There is nothing out there, and hasn't been for some time, that even approaches this in terms of artistry. If the music and art 'award systems' fail to recognise this then the world is even more fkd up than we thought.
It takes a lot to have all yall in the same room locked in like this. I have never heard of this dude but he just took me on a journey. The universe works in mysterious ways. Tonight i been on the final brink of my existence teetering back and forth. Something told me to turn my phone on and go to your page. Yall just saved my life. Thank you
God bless you . I hope you can come to know Jesus who has a unique plan for your life "I know the plans i have for you , plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a future and a hope" Jeremiah chpt 29 verse 11 I dont know your story but i know that there is nothing in this world like experiencing Gods love for you on a personal level-its what each person in the world was made for, its the only thing that makes everything else make sense and fills the emptiness within us all. Heres a prayer that helps to begin that one -to -one personal relationship should you decide to try it- "Jesus please forgive all my sins , COME INTO MY LIFE and Be my PERSONAL SAVIOUR. Show me the plans you have for me -GIVE ME A FUTURE AND HOPE."
Please pay attention to the thoughts going on in your mind. Anything harmful that comes up is not you. The thoughts are floating around and we attract them according to what attitude we are engaging in. The ego is self protection but it is also a parasite. Thank it and tell it see ya down the road. Any helpful or good thoughts are what you want to pay attention to. Save them up like you have a wallet where you can bring them back when you remember they are there. Breathe life into them like they are a flower opening…. Like he did when he stood up. Notice your breath deepening when you have these thoughts…. Feel you are one with them through the breath. Breathe into the thought. Allow yourself to relax with the breath. Allow yourself to be the breath itself. This will also keep you alive. Breathe the thoughts you are letting go out. Breathe in and keep the ones you want If you need to, say silently “I am the breath …. Just breathe”. In doing this, you are affirming life Good luck. You are doing the most important work on the planet - bless you! I love you❤️❤️🔥✨ Ps go to the uncut song and watch it when you are down Place your hand or hands over your heart as you breathe. Try saying I love you to your own heart. If you can’t do it at first, keep trying. Hang in there 🌺🌺🌺🙏🦋
Ren also is a busker on the streets who also plays with a band playing every style of music imagineable. He can sing like James Brown Bob Marley and everyone in between while doing beat box. Ren is the most talented musical poet that currently exists.
I actually read it as the internal struggles we face ARE the evil in the world. It's not an externality. We're all capable of good and evil. That is the dance.
I see it as battling with his inner demons, as he does mention issues with psychosis. The conversation between the two sides can be applied to a number of things. The struggle between light and dark is eternal and internal. As someone with anxiety I can relate to the conflicting argument within. He’s portrayed this struggle masterfully because he’s walked it. Yet he carries compassion and is also providing a light of Hope for others
I first heard this song two days ago watching a reaction video of someone else.. and maaann I was blown away to read and learn about the backstory regarding this song in particular. Mental illness and emotional disorders are real and legit. We need to open our hearts and minds up to this community and remember to be kind and help when and if we can. I can relate to Ren in so many ways. A total stranger. I have never related to a human or song more than this.
One of my favourite parts of REN’s music is watching people experience his art for the first time. The commonality of expression and experiencing emotions is wild
Perhaps this song means different things to different people. But to me, it illustrates the eternal battle between good and evil that mankind has endured since the dawn of time. All human beings must fight this battle in our subconscious. Ren’s song allows us to see what we can't see and feel what we can't feel.
Dudes! This was my first time hearing this song, or seeing Ren at all. What a powerful performance, and I am so glad you reacted to it and that I got to see it. I will be checking Ren out. That was no genre at all: it was a totally unique and soul-filled creative treasure, and it moved me to tears.
It was so good to see their reactions. So many people don't realize that shadow Ren speaks of is in ALL OF US. We think we are going to be able to "get rid" of it, but that only makes it worse. Make friends with your unconscious ya'll. If you don't know what it is, become a student, cause it's the only way we are going to get through the next few centuries is if we recognize our own selves in what we want to reject.
This song hit me so deep! Similar to Ren, many years of my life were disrupted by Lyme disease (which caused many symptoms of mental illness as the disease inflamed my brain). I have been seeing a lot of reaction videos in the past two days, and this one was great. What I saw from you, is that music doesn't even need to fit in to a category in order to move and effect us. Thank you!
My dad had Lyme that destroyed his short term memory. They thought it was Alzheimer’s disease, disabled him for almost 10 years, and cost him his marriage. Bad stuff.
Don't ever apologize for feeling and having emotions! Art is supposed to bring out emotions like sadness, anger, hope, happiness, etc and it makes your reaction that much better and more real because Ren's art touched you as it has all of the people that have been sharing his music and asking reactors to react to it. We know that Ren is someone special and his ability to create art that we can connect to and feel because of is not something that every artist can do, especially to the extent that Ren seems to be able to. ❤❤❤Much love and I am now a subscriber because of your realness and rawness!
I was mesmerized. What a message. Thanks to Ren and to all of you for reacting.....it's something the world needs to hear....we are all human beings. Swing that pendulum to the light....hope.
Ren is a different type of guy and his music is immense. One of 🇬🇧’s up and coming stars. You can see as he says he is def influenced by Eminem & Plan B. Plan B another trend setter in the U.K. rap/grime scene
Pick any other song he has from the last two years, they are all bangers too!!!!! This dude is crazy crazy brilliant. Thank you for spreading the word.
I am so glad that Ren is being listened to by the world, and making people sit up and listen! Hey, Ren, you are already making a change in the world! You will not be forgotten! It's awesome! No matter what happens in your life from now on, good or bad, try and remember where you come from and all the things that you have been through, that are making you be as you are now, and in the future! You have touched many, and that's ALOT for one man as young as you are, to be a le to do in such a short time! I pray to hear more from you! I pray for your health, physically, and mentally. I pray for your family and freinds, and anyone that you have around you that supports you and is there for you. And you are there for them. And for us out here, that will ne er be the same, after listening g to your words and music in" HI, Ren:! You should be proud of yourself! I am proud of you, a d don't even know you! Or you me! But, I am proud to ha e been able to share in this moment with you! Thank you! Be safe and take care of yourself!
I've never had an urge before to watch every single reaction video, and share a performance with everyone I know and meet. I didn't discover Ren until 3/26/2023 when you tube inexplicably recommended "Ren - Hi Ren" to me. I'm a 52 year old man, and I am forever changed by this.
I've watched this too many times to count, and I cry every time. The personal battle we each fight in ourselves, good against evil, is too perfectly expressed in this song.
My sister sent me this video because she knew I would love it, since then I've checked out a lot of his music...like Violets tale, Jenny, Screeches Tales...so moved....he plays several instruments, life stories, poetry, put to music, music put to poetry, his own genre, he raps...I call him Young Bard, a 21st century bard..more rap, than folk music, just my opinion..this 64 year old woman from NC, via CA, USA loves his music, whatever genre it is, it touched my heart, blew me away....
WOW!!! That was great! The eternal struggle between good and evil. Noone is all good. There's that little voice sometimes that tries to convince you to do something you shouldn't. There's that depression (which I suffer from) that tries to take over and you have to fight it. He said he learned to relax. That's something. Over-thinking is so tiring.
I love Ren , he is super talented a Genius really, and I’m in my 70’s . Listen to it a second time and really listen to him talking to his inner self. We all do it. Thanks you reacting
No link for his song? Check out his other songs... Genesis, Heretic, Everybody Drops... Love watching you guys, first thing in the morning always puts a smile on my face.
I'm hoping y'all do more reactions to his videos. This man is the swiss army knife of music. He does rap, folk, classic rock, and reggae, all VERY WELL. I am in awe of his talent & he deserves all the recognition 💜
I am blown away that almost all of these reaction videos... no one is pausing like they normally do. It is absolutely enthralling. This is an absolute masterpiece performance. Literally unbelievable.
I’ve watched dozens of not dozens upon dozens of reactions to this song. I honestly watched this to see your facial and bodily reactions. I’ve loved watching y’all react to Rage and other artists from the 90’s& have loved it. In your bodily and facial expressions I saw cynicism, doubt, rejection and excitement. I love how you can be dubious but are also able to accept a different paradigm so readily. I think that the challenges in society are dismissed so easily by older folks who are so cemented in their thinking. Y’all give me so much hope for future generations. I’m an Xer who has seen younger generations vilified or scapegoated by elders who did little or nothing to better society & then blame their negligence on their own children. Please see that we are all human beings, warts & all & we are all worthy of compassion and also accountability.
What a fabulous random reaction from you . I loved watching your faces, and i think you are the first have watched -all the way through without interrupting. Ren is really something else. interesting because he does do folk, more music you hear of his ; if he chose to learn it, he'd play it. Very very talented
Dear CartierFamily, I love you guys. I wanted to comment on Ren by saying that I got a better understanding of this young man and what this song means after I researched him and the things he's been through. His busking history is surely worth checking into. There are so many facets to this multitalented person and I feel as if his many trials and tribulations are what gave life to his many talents. If the interviews and videos I've seen are true to the man, then he's someone I would be priveledged to know, to even hang out with and talk to for an hour. I feel like the universe has saved him for something very special. This song, all of his music, might be only the beginning. I certainly wish him the best as I feel he has earned it. 100% a fan. I find him amazing. I hope that you gentlemen will keep doin' what you're doin'. I enjoy your reaction videos completely! Thank you!
Wild Ass Song!! It’s everyone’s subconscious in a song.. it’s art.. wild! Before every bad decision, before every Fight with a spouse, abuse, rape, beatings, before any trigger ever pulled on any person be it military or civilian.. there’s a voice inside us all.. do it.. don’t do it.. it’s the devil inside that drives the hate, the fear, jealousy, the grief, the pain..to go through with any bad decision.. there’s also the good inside what says “don’t.. you will get through this.. no one else needs to hurt like you do.. no one is worth the mental nightmares or self made subconscious prison the bad decision will cost you.. love all, make good choices.. because one day we will all be tested.. it’s a deep song.. it’s like folk, rap, rock, metal.. all combined. It’s life. 🤯
The purely riveted presence you all have is like the first witnesses we humans have of the most greatest artists of every age. Gobsmacked. We're all witnessing musical history. I love seeing the witnessing of YOU men. Thanks for doing this. Love watching you all!
Love the video and wanted to hear your reaction! it's AWESOME...it's crazy....it's REN. If someone asked you "What kind of music is this?" It's REN! It's a whole new way of looking at music/performance. He is raw, and real, and incredible. You will NEVER hear him on the radio; they can't handle the TRUTH!!!
Wow! I’m blown away by your talent and resilience! I’m nearly 59 so you are reaching a wide audience! You are truly incredible! Keep going because the world needs to hear you x
Dude on the right, you're not fooling anyone with those sunglasses! Never be afraid to show emotion, even with the most manly men, women find it appealing, to an extent! We like knowing you have empathy and compassion. Love you guys ! Rein
the dude in the middle of the group is the most emotionally intelligent of the group. Dude understood the gravity of this song immediately. dude in the glasses recommending the Oceans is spot on too. That shit is a goddamn masterpiece.So it this song.
I just found your channel and I absolutely love you all. Thanks to Ren, I've subscribed to another amazing channel to help me cope. Ren is bringing people together... With truth. It's always been a battle of good vs evil... We know how the story ends. It's living in this broken world that breaks the mind and crushes the soul. You almost lost faith in my boy! I admit I was shook when I first saw it and he started speaking in that demonic voice but then he stands. He knows who created him and that's why he won't give up! I won't either. "I knew it was a Christian song" gave me goosebumps. I love you guys! ❤❤❤❤❤
THERE'S THR SAME VIDEO WITH LYRICS ... BLOWN MY MIND . Listen to his other pieces too. This dude is next level . Mental health genius artist . NEXT LEVEL 😮
I absolutely love you guys! Thanks so much for stepping into the same room I had just walked into. Today we got to see each, one to another, clearly. I love you. Stay blessed.
Goose bumps!!!On so many levels ,so many layers, dark,raw ,honest,relatable,provocative,blew me away......music to feel.think and ask questions...You are a talent!!!
Poet, storyteller and lyrical master amazing working it's hard to keep up with all your amazing work Ren can't stop listening to your music amazing always fire keep it up
Need to check out his songs "Sick Boi", "Hunger", "The Tale of Jenny and Screech" & "Money Game" just for some variation. The guy is stunning in his art and is hard to place in a genre. I feel he is first and foremost a storyteller and the style and genre he uses shifts to best tell the story. Regardless, whatever he does, he is off the charts talented.
I’ve been watching Ren for a handful years and better, watch them win he was younger you’ll see if you look that he has been in the music industry for years had a lot of ups and downs, and went through a lot of stuff but it’s an amazing artist with nothing but time to show that he’s one of the best
His work is powerful and profound. He uses his pain and suffering to relate to all of us. We aren’t angels or demons, and we certainly aren’t God. We are humans. Whether Ren is Christian, or not, he’s doing God’s work. Historically, he may have been called a prophet. At least appreciate the power of his message.
Ren I've only discovered your music a couple of months ago. You've taken music and sharing and helping people with their own issues to new levels, off the chart smart
Yall were all right. The devil and the dark side of our subconscious are the same figure in this. The idea is that we always fight with the darker parts of our subconscious, but as ge said at the end, you have to approach it as a dance, because you cannot win it as a battle. You have to relax and accept the darker thoughts but keep moving through it. It's the human condition.
I really enjoyed watching you guys react to this incredible piece of art. I found Ren, and your channel around the same time. I've watched a lot of reactions to this song...I'm obsessed...but yours was the best! I'm sorry I don't know your names yet but the young man in yellow nailed it ❤
Only come across this Ren guy today on another reaction video so had to watch yours, song is a brilliant interpretation of ones battle with internal conflict. I think many can't relate to this song on so many different levels. Ten I wish you all the future success & happiness your talent surly deserves.
Wow your reaction was the same as mine! I’m obsessed. Sending love from the UK - following so I don’t miss any future reactions to songs that hit hard. Sending love from England #renfanforver #newfan #loveyourreaction
It’s not a Christian song. He’s battling with the darkness inside himself. That line about the devil is about the struggle of darkness that has always been inside all men, and the light that we use to defeat those dark thoughts. It’s not literal.
It is a christian song though maybe not be intention. The christian belief is that all humans are corrupt and evil as the default (which is 100% true). Why have an internal battle if there is no actual internal battle? That would be just delusion. If there was no Satan, there would be no internal struggle. Gotta have evil to show the good in comparison.
Ren is a bloody genius, a musician, a writer, an actor. For years he suffered from Lyme Disease, but at first they treated him for mental illness. Eventually they found out what was wrong and his treatment is ongoing. He comes from Dwyran on the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales. And that was not folk music.
So glad I caught this reaction and your channel, I will be subscribing for more Ren reactions! This man has bars, music and resilience! Check out Genesis and The Hunger!
Thankyou for reacting to my video guys! The support is massively appreciated, and grateful for the kind words! Will be checking out more reaction videos from you guys for sure!
You blew their minds! 🤯😁❤️
I’d seen you vid before but wanted to see the lads reaction. I’ve had a rough few years and coming out the other side of the tunnel. This song is such a good articulation of the constant struggle for our soul and hope moving forward. Touched me deep. Keep doing what you doing!! Mad to see you comment on these guys channel too 😊
You will be big dude
Talented af! Turn the pain into promise
Hi Ren.
Watching Ren turn a room from wtf to HOLY FK is my new favorite thing
Absolutely
I love to watch their face when he turns it around and stands up. And then the end , like an epitaph. And a prayer. It’s fucking fantastic to watch. I love it! Watch the ones from those that deal with mental health. And this one, with multiple people.! This could be a pastime for a long ass time! Have fun!

10 points from Griffyndor for your man on the right putting on shades when he got hit in his feels. That kind of depletes the purpose of the video, because you want to see the reactor's eyes, most.
It was a telling moment and he revealed some vulnerability and self-consciousness by doing that.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
every time lol. happened to me
@redbandita020 lol yeah the guy in the green gets fully involved. love it. Are all these dudes brothers?
Never seen Cartier family so quiet. Says a lot about how powerful and captivating this song is
YES! MY ONLY QUESTION... SO SO SO SILENT! WHY NOW?
DUDE ON THE RIGHT, SUNGLASSES, GREY HOODIE! U FEEL SOOO MUCH! YOU ARE MY YOUNGEST SON. SHUT DOWN AND FEEL THE TREMENDOUS PAIN.
BLESS Y'ALL!🤗

Hi Ren comes out in just over 24 hours.
I can't wait for you all to hear it."
Thanks so much for posting this
Ditto
Thank you
Whoa…🤯🤯🤯
Just…wow.
With that explanation from #Ren , I think the only reason he hasn’t succumbed to the “voices”, is the protecting Hands 🙌 of God.
Ren is very sick, I wonder how much these were the voices speaking to him. Much love.
@@LayDeeTee1 He doesn't seem to be very religious. I don't think any god helped him with anything. It was just himself who did it.
The eternal battle between good and evil that resides within each and everyone's mind. This song is Ren expressing his battle between his two sides.
I couldn't understand how that went over their heads.
@@Scribble336 it didn’t to one of them but to the others it did
@@wesburbstally7391 Which one?
Kinda. It's a little more literal with ren in that he actually heard voices in his head
no, its about his psychosis
I know Ren doesn't care about the BS industry, but he deserves every accolade and industry wide recognition for this. Seriously, this should be song of the year, video of the year, mental health awareness campaign of the year, and more. Calling on all Ren fans - let's make this happen. Download everywhere, share everywhere, lobby everywhere. Salute. Peace.
he was signed by sony years ago and they dropped him when he became ill hence the never played on radio referance in this song
This song is on Amazon, Spotify...I'm sure it's on iTunes. As are some of his other songs.
@@amydavies2529 friend that's how independent artists work, independent artist doesn't mean making the music and not putting it out anywhere, it means working outside of the mainstream publishers and companies
@@pogobear123 oh I know, but many thought this specific song didn't make any platform. I know he's independent. 🙂
He's a genius. He's been invited to play Glastonbury this year, so things could go crazy.
BRILLIANT! I cried at the young man’s ability to express the internal/ mental struggle. He fought both physically and mentally for years after his diagnosis. God Bless him. HOPE!!!
Legit. Homeboy has made me cry more than once.
“That just messed up my frequencies real bad right now.” 😂😂😂 We need to be scrambled every now and then. Thank the algorithm gods for recommending Ren to me - straight obsessed! ❤
i cried like a baby with this song
this is something else
Try jorden by the rapper complete he did something like this before ren and it's more deep. But this is good tho
Here is a tissue. I've gone through a box. This guy gets me in the FEELS.
It’s mad to think cardi b is blowing up and actual musicians like ren have to put every last breath into it just to be noticed. crazy the work he’s been in
No need to put her down to put up someone else, I love Ren but his goals with music are completely different then cardi's
@@ameliabones191 no need to put someone down who admitted to drugging and raping men? How brainwashed are you?
@@ameliabones191 so true
Personally I don't like her music but I guess she's pretty good in her genre and she has a lot of women support
"Cardi B writes music for the kind of women who shoplift at yard sales" - Unknown
This song is absolutely incredible, this man is a lyrical genius. This song is a back and forth battle with his subconscious, he mentioned suffering from psychosis so maybe this is a character he’s playing. He also plays temptation and hope and the structure to this song is just beautiful. It’s so interesting and different and melodically perfect I can tell this man is going places!
Not only is Ren a blosoming genius, he is an excellent guitar player and vocalist. His minstral triology is a must: Jenny, Screech and Violet in that order or you mess up the reveal. If you want to hear him rapping then check out Genesis - both versions! He covers similar areas that X covered but his songs are longer. Can't believe he has not had a hit yet - but maybe because he was messed up with lymes disease for several years. I think Power was an easy radio hit but not noticed by the mainstream. All of his material is excellent!
Follow it up with anything from his demos. Money game has great flow that gives ten references. Shades of tribe with some conscious hip hop
@@teampetreville8408 Listened to them all - stunniingly brilliant!
Bless his heart 😢!
That was an artistic masterpiece!
Exactly!! There is nothing out there, and hasn't been for some time, that even approaches this in terms of artistry. If the music and art 'award systems' fail to recognise this then the world is even more fkd up than we thought.
It takes a lot to have all yall in the same room locked in like this. I have never heard of this dude but he just took me on a journey.
The universe works in mysterious ways. Tonight i been on the final brink of my existence teetering back and forth. Something told me to turn my phone on and go to your page. Yall just saved my life.
Thank you
Keep your head up and push on . Hope u ok 👌
@ste caton I'm alive and that's all that matters. Thank you for checking in. I appreciate you.♥️
God bless you . I hope you can come to know Jesus who has a unique plan for your life "I know the plans i have for you , plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a future and a hope" Jeremiah chpt 29 verse 11
I dont know your story but i know that there is nothing in this world like experiencing Gods love for you on a personal level-its what each person in the world was made for, its the only thing that makes everything else make sense and fills the emptiness within us all.
Heres a prayer that helps to begin that one -to -one personal relationship should you decide to try it-
"Jesus please forgive all my sins , COME INTO MY LIFE and Be my PERSONAL SAVIOUR. Show me the plans you have for me -GIVE ME A FUTURE AND HOPE."
Please pay attention to the thoughts going on in your mind. Anything harmful that comes up is not you. The thoughts are floating around and we attract them according to what attitude we are engaging in. The ego is self protection but it is also a parasite. Thank it and tell it see ya down the road. Any helpful or good thoughts are what you want to pay attention to. Save them up like you have a wallet where you can bring them back when you remember they are there. Breathe life into them like they are a flower opening…. Like he did when he stood up. Notice your breath deepening when you have these thoughts…. Feel you are one with them through the breath. Breathe into the thought. Allow yourself to relax with the breath. Allow yourself to be the breath itself. This will also keep you alive. Breathe the thoughts you are letting go out. Breathe in and keep the ones you want
If you need to, say silently “I am the breath …. Just breathe”. In doing this, you are affirming life
Good luck. You are doing the most important work on the planet - bless you! I love you❤️❤️🔥✨
Ps go to the uncut song and watch it when you are down
Place your hand or hands over your heart as you breathe. Try saying I love you to your own heart. If you can’t do it at first, keep trying. Hang in there 🌺🌺🌺🙏🦋

REN’s words before the release of this song could be important for you🤟
Ren also is a busker on the streets who also plays with a band playing every style of music imagineable. He can sing like James Brown Bob Marley and everyone in between while doing beat box. Ren is the most talented musical poet that currently exists.
The first verse was a battle between him and himself, fighting his subconscious and his 2nd and 3rd verse was Evil And Light talking to him.
I actually read it as the internal struggles we face ARE the evil in the world. It's not an externality. We're all capable of good and evil. That is the dance.
@@TacoMental , you nailed it.
talking through him - he is showing us that it is not separate from us. i am very grateful to him
@@TacoMental Yes, the world, the nature, the universe is neutral, it is us humans that make thing evil or good. And both of these are inside of us.
I see it as battling with his inner demons, as he does mention issues with psychosis.
The conversation between the two sides can be applied to a number of things.
The struggle between light and dark is eternal and internal.
As someone with anxiety I can relate to the conflicting argument within.
He’s portrayed this struggle masterfully because he’s walked it.
Yet he carries compassion and is also providing a light of Hope for others
I first heard this song two days ago watching a reaction video of someone else.. and maaann I was blown away to read and learn about the backstory regarding this song in particular. Mental illness and emotional disorders are real and legit. We need to open our hearts and minds up to this community and remember to be kind and help when and if we can. I can relate to Ren in so many ways. A total stranger. I have never related to a human or song more than this.
One of my favourite parts of REN’s music is watching people experience his art for the first time. The commonality of expression and experiencing emotions is wild
Perhaps this song means different things to different people. But to me, it illustrates the eternal battle between good and evil that mankind has endured since the dawn of time. All human beings must fight this battle in our subconscious. Ren’s song allows us to see what we can't see and feel what we can't feel.
Dudes! This was my first time hearing this song, or seeing Ren at all. What a powerful performance, and I am so glad you reacted to it and that I got to see it. I will be checking Ren out. That was no genre at all: it was a totally unique and soul-filled creative treasure, and it moved me to tears.
It was so good to see their reactions. So many people don't realize that shadow Ren speaks of is in ALL OF US. We think we are going to be able to "get rid" of it, but that only makes it worse. Make friends with your unconscious ya'll. If you don't know what it is, become a student, cause it's the only way we are going to get through the next few centuries is if we recognize our own selves in what we want to reject.
You nailed it! I hope someone will explain the meaning of this video to these young men.
This song hit me so deep! Similar to Ren, many years of my life were disrupted by Lyme disease (which caused many symptoms of mental illness as the disease inflamed my brain). I have been seeing a lot of reaction videos in the past two days, and this one was great. What I saw from you, is that music doesn't even need to fit in to a category in order to move and effect us. Thank you!
My dad had Lyme that destroyed his short term memory. They thought it was Alzheimer’s disease, disabled him for almost 10 years, and cost him his marriage. Bad stuff.
This is genius. That was like poetry. His guitar skills are on another level. That was incredible. Never seen or heard anything like it!
Don't ever apologize for feeling and having emotions! Art is supposed to bring out emotions like sadness, anger, hope, happiness, etc and it makes your reaction that much better and more real because Ren's art touched you as it has all of the people that have been sharing his music and asking reactors to react to it. We know that Ren is someone special and his ability to create art that we can connect to and feel because of is not something that every artist can do, especially to the extent that Ren seems to be able to.
❤❤❤Much love and I am now a subscriber because of your realness and rawness!
This artist just invented a new genre on the spot. Unbelievable amazing.
Hello gentleman I've been watching Ren for seven years he is a trip! He's all about peace love and healing! Exceptional Talent thank you!
I was mesmerized. What a message. Thanks to Ren and to all of you for reacting.....it's something the world needs to hear....we are all human beings. Swing that pendulum to the light....hope.
Ren is a different type of guy and his music is immense. One of 🇬🇧’s up and coming stars.
You can see as he says he is def influenced by Eminem & Plan B.
Plan B another trend setter in the U.K. rap/grime scene
Pick any other song he has from the last two years, they are all bangers too!!!!! This dude is crazy crazy brilliant. Thank you for spreading the word.
I love that this song is making waves and that it is moving others as much as it moves me. I am INSPIRED!!!
I am so glad that Ren is being listened to by the world, and making people sit up and listen! Hey, Ren, you are already making a change in the world! You will not be forgotten! It's awesome! No matter what happens in your life from now on, good or bad, try and remember where you come from and all the things that you have been through, that are making you be as you are now, and in the future! You have touched many, and that's ALOT for one man as young as you are, to be a le to do in such a short time! I pray to hear more from you! I pray for your health, physically, and mentally. I pray for your family and freinds, and anyone that you have around you that supports you and is there for you. And you are there for them. And for us out here, that will ne er be the same, after listening g to your words and music in" HI, Ren:! You should be proud of yourself! I am proud of you, a d don't even know you! Or you me! But, I am proud to ha e been able to share in this moment with you! Thank you! Be safe and take care of yourself!
Not going to be on the radio, thats why we need great reacters like yourselves to promote! Thank you for doing so, great reaction!
Does anyone under the age of 60 still use the radio?
Profound!!!! what an inspirational young man, we can all take hope from what he says. Thanks guys for your reaction to this new sensation that is Ren.
I've never had an urge before to watch every single reaction video, and share a performance with everyone I know and meet. I didn't discover Ren until 3/26/2023 when you tube inexplicably recommended "Ren - Hi Ren" to me. I'm a 52 year old man, and I am forever changed by this.
43 here and I just found him 3/25/2023! I’ve definitely been traveling down the rabbit hole, you?
Almost 70 here
I'd seen him busking on videos and really liked him
This has blown my mind
Billy Strings is another I love
I've watched this too many times to count, and I cry every time.
The personal battle we each fight in ourselves, good against evil, is too perfectly expressed in this song.
Same
You’ve definitely got to listen to the tale of Jenny and screech and violets tale by ren, in that order
REN - HUNGER or MONEY GAME or FISHER all amazing rap ✌️
🤣 one of the best "reactions" I've seen. You guys are a riot and have a great taste in music! ✌
My sister sent me this video because she knew I would love it, since then I've checked out a lot of his music...like Violets tale, Jenny, Screeches Tales...so moved....he plays several instruments, life stories, poetry, put to music, music put to poetry, his own genre, he raps...I call him Young Bard, a 21st century bard..more rap, than folk music, just my opinion..this 64 year old woman from NC, via CA, USA loves his music, whatever genre it is, it touched my heart, blew me away....
I've been waiting for this! This song shifted my entire perspective on a lot of things!
WOW!!! That was great! The eternal struggle between good and evil. Noone is all good. There's that little voice sometimes that tries to convince you to do something you shouldn't. There's that depression (which I suffer from) that tries to take over and you have to fight it.
He said he learned to relax. That's something. Over-thinking is so tiring.
Love seeing the families expressiona change from joking and playing to listening and appreciate Ren's talent.
I love Ren , he is super talented a Genius really, and I’m in my 70’s . Listen to it a second time and really listen to him talking to his inner self. We all do it. Thanks you reacting
0:13 “IM TRYING TO HELP YO NOSTRIL… IT STANK. IT STANKKKK!!” y’all always got me dying bruh i love y’all 💀
No link for his song? Check out his other songs... Genesis, Heretic, Everybody Drops...
Love watching you guys, first thing in the morning always puts a smile on my face.
love how y'all are just *entranced* with this.. & give it's due respect..
thumbs up, hit up Sick Boi..
I'm hoping y'all do more reactions to his videos. This man is the swiss army knife of music. He does rap, folk, classic rock, and reggae, all VERY WELL.
I am in awe of his talent & he deserves all the recognition 💜
That was a very awesome, beautiful, unique, masterpiece 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you for introducing me to this 💕
I am blown away that almost all of these reaction videos... no one is pausing like they normally do. It is absolutely enthralling. This is an absolute masterpiece performance. Literally unbelievable.
I’ve watched dozens of not dozens upon dozens of reactions to this song. I honestly watched this to see your facial and bodily reactions. I’ve loved watching y’all react to Rage and other artists from the 90’s& have loved it. In your bodily and facial expressions I saw cynicism, doubt, rejection and excitement. I love how you can be dubious but are also able to accept a different paradigm so readily. I think that the challenges in society are dismissed so easily by older folks who are so cemented in their thinking. Y’all give me so much hope for future generations. I’m an Xer who has seen younger generations vilified or scapegoated by elders who did little or nothing to better society & then blame their negligence on their own children. Please see that we are all human beings, warts & all & we are all worthy of compassion and also accountability.
What a fabulous random reaction from you . I loved watching your faces, and i think you are the first have watched -all the way through without interrupting. Ren is really something else. interesting because he does do folk, more music you hear of his ; if he chose to learn it, he'd play it. Very very talented
Dear CartierFamily, I love you guys. I wanted to comment on Ren by saying that I got a better understanding of this young man and what this song means after I researched him and the things he's been through. His busking history is surely worth checking into. There are so many facets to this multitalented person and I feel as if his many trials and tribulations are what gave life to his many talents. If the interviews and videos I've seen are true to the man, then he's someone I would be priveledged to know, to even hang out with and talk to for an hour. I feel like the universe has saved him for something very special. This song, all of his music, might be only the beginning. I certainly wish him the best as I feel he has earned it. 100% a fan. I find him amazing. I hope that you gentlemen will keep doin' what you're doin'. I enjoy your reaction videos completely! Thank you!
Wild Ass Song!! It’s everyone’s subconscious in a song.. it’s art.. wild! Before every bad decision, before every Fight with a spouse, abuse, rape, beatings, before any trigger ever pulled on any person be it military or civilian.. there’s a voice inside us all.. do it.. don’t do it.. it’s the devil inside that drives the hate, the fear, jealousy, the grief, the pain..to go through with any bad decision.. there’s also the good inside what says “don’t.. you will get through this.. no one else needs to hurt like you do.. no one is worth the mental nightmares or self made subconscious prison the bad decision will cost you.. love all, make good choices.. because one day we will all be tested.. it’s a deep song.. it’s like folk, rap, rock, metal.. all combined. It’s life. 🤯
The purely riveted presence you all have is like the first witnesses we humans have of the most greatest artists of every age. Gobsmacked. We're all witnessing musical history. I love seeing the witnessing of YOU men. Thanks for doing this. Love watching you all!
Love the video and wanted to hear your reaction! it's AWESOME...it's crazy....it's REN. If someone asked you "What kind of music is this?" It's REN! It's a whole new way of looking at music/performance. He is raw, and real, and incredible. You will NEVER hear him on the radio; they can't handle the TRUTH!!!
Love watching y'all! Thanks for reacting to Ren. He has a lot of brilliant songs, and you might be surprised at what a tremendous rapper he is
Wow! I’m blown away by your talent and resilience! I’m nearly 59 so you are reaching a wide audience! You are truly incredible! Keep going because the world needs to hear you x
Dude on the right, you're not fooling anyone with those sunglasses! Never be afraid to show emotion, even with the most manly men, women find it appealing, to an extent! We like knowing you have empathy and compassion. Love you guys ! Rein
Story telling at its finest, this lad with his dark subject content and sublime lyrics is a breath of fresh air in todays manufactured chart junk.
the dude in the middle of the group is the most emotionally intelligent of the group. Dude understood the gravity of this song immediately. dude in the glasses recommending the Oceans is spot on too. That shit is a goddamn masterpiece.So it this song.
I’ve been watching Ren for a couple of years now, and he’s the best artist in the UK, including the people he works with. Keep it up Ren!
I just found your channel and I absolutely love you all. Thanks to Ren, I've subscribed to another amazing channel to help me cope. Ren is bringing people together... With truth. It's always been a battle of good vs evil... We know how the story ends. It's living in this broken world that breaks the mind and crushes the soul. You almost lost faith in my boy! I admit I was shook when I first saw it and he started speaking in that demonic voice but then he stands. He knows who created him and that's why he won't give up! I won't either. "I knew it was a Christian song" gave me goosebumps.
I love you guys! ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, that really was kind of mind-blowing! Very interesting, different, and unique. Thanks for reacting to this! ✌💙✌
You know a song is so good when you can't stop watching and listening. This is one amazing song.
"Not for the radio" was what they said about Bohemian Rhapsody... history bears witness...
This song reaches so many different cultures, ages, demographics, races, genders and religious people. So deep, great watching your reactions boys.
Wonderful reaction video underlining the power of the song.
Whether conveying a message, or art for art’s sake. Like it or not, it evokes emotions, thus it’s art.
THERE'S THR SAME VIDEO WITH LYRICS ... BLOWN MY MIND .
Listen to his other pieces too. This dude is next level . Mental health genius artist . NEXT LEVEL 😮
I absolutely love you guys! Thanks so much for stepping into the same room I had just walked into. Today we got to see each, one to another, clearly. I love you. Stay blessed.
Thanks for introducing me to Ren.
This was my first time listening an this was so dope I’m blown away by the poetical lyrics
Goose bumps!!!On so many levels ,so many layers, dark,raw ,honest,relatable,provocative,blew me away......music to feel.think and ask questions...You are a talent!!!
Poet, storyteller and lyrical master amazing working it's hard to keep up with all your amazing work Ren can't stop listening to your music amazing always fire keep it up
Need to check out his songs "Sick Boi", "Hunger", "The Tale of Jenny and Screech" & "Money Game" just for some variation.
The guy is stunning in his art and is hard to place in a genre.
I feel he is first and foremost a storyteller and the style and genre he uses shifts to best tell the story.
Regardless, whatever he does, he is off the charts talented.
Great reaction. Everything ren does is award worthy. Just a masterpiece
I’ve been watching Ren for a handful years and better, watch them win he was younger you’ll see if you look that he has been in the music industry for years had a lot of ups and downs, and went through a lot of stuff but it’s an amazing artist with nothing but time to show that he’s one of the best
Put the dude in the back with the dark cap up front! His expressions are priceless!
Ren's music is addictive
His work is powerful and profound. He uses his pain and suffering to relate to all of us. We aren’t angels or demons, and we certainly aren’t God. We are humans. Whether Ren is Christian, or not, he’s doing God’s work. Historically, he may have been called a prophet. At least appreciate the power of his message.
Ren I've only discovered your music a couple of months ago. You've taken music and sharing and helping people with their own issues to new levels, off the chart smart
I've been hit up so many times on CZcams to hear this song. I chose the right channel to finally watch/listen to it. No question.
Yall were all right. The devil and the dark side of our subconscious are the same figure in this. The idea is that we always fight with the darker parts of our subconscious, but as ge said at the end, you have to approach it as a dance, because you cannot win it as a battle. You have to relax and accept the darker thoughts but keep moving through it. It's the human condition.
Ren is like a modern day English Bard
I really enjoyed watching you guys react to this incredible piece of art. I found Ren, and your channel around the same time. I've watched a lot of reactions to this song...I'm obsessed...but yours was the best! I'm sorry I don't know your names yet but the young man in yellow nailed it ❤
Only come across this Ren guy today on another reaction video so had to watch yours, song is a brilliant interpretation of ones battle with internal conflict. I think many can't relate to this song on so many different levels. Ten I wish you all the future success & happiness your talent surly deserves.
AMAZING! He is so talented! Such an Important message!!
Ren is a Complete artist A-Z
Wow your reaction was the same as mine! I’m obsessed. Sending love from the UK - following so I don’t miss any future reactions to songs that hit hard. Sending love from England #renfanforver #newfan #loveyourreaction
I love the line one of you came out with; "This just messed up my frequencies." Great reaction, lads.
It’s not a Christian song. He’s battling with the darkness inside himself. That line about the devil is about the struggle of darkness that has always been inside all men, and the light that we use to defeat those dark thoughts. It’s not literal.
It is a christian song though maybe not be intention. The christian belief is that all humans are corrupt and evil as the default (which is 100% true). Why have an internal battle if there is no actual internal battle? That would be just delusion. If there was no Satan, there would be no internal struggle. Gotta have evil to show the good in comparison.
Idk wtf this was but I know I need more! ❤🔥❤️
Love watching you all trying to categorise Ren. It isn't possible. Just enjoy the trip, and the message.
Ren is a bloody genius, a musician, a writer, an actor. For years he suffered from Lyme Disease, but at first they treated him for mental illness. Eventually they found out what was wrong and his treatment is ongoing. He comes from Dwyran on the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales. And that was not folk music.
Check his new rap song... 'What you want' by Ren it's better than any old school hip hop rap songs you've ever heard
Great in a broadway play 🔥🔥
this needs to be blown up! so real! Thanks for doing a react to it!!!
So glad I caught this reaction and your channel, I will be subscribing for more Ren reactions! This man has bars, music and resilience! Check out Genesis and The Hunger!
Ross with the stink bomb had me in stitches...lmao
