I mean seriously, who isn't trapped in the Ren rabbit hole lol. Ren is a musical genius and not stuck to just one thing. It is always a mystery what he will do next which makes it so exciting. Cya on the next one neighbor.
I'm going to be really interested in the lyrics/subject matter on his next album, which he said is guitar based, because it seems that this album has been a real therapeutic process of getting out all his frustrations from his years of illness, from being misdiagnosed for years by doctores, being fed full of pills he didn't need to the years of pain and suffering. The other thing that I find so ironic is the line in Hi Ren when he says I never write hooks for the radio. Then proceeds to have a bucket load of catchy hooks on this album!
That part immediately after the 2nd chorus is the sound you hear in the 1st Matrix when Neo is being pulled out of the Matrix for the first time. It sounds like Ren is trapped between the Matrix and what is actually real. His mind can't decide which way it's supposed to go.
I'm so sad that this is it until Money Game pt 3 next month! 😭 Ren was saying he still doesn't know how to take compliments, or when people tell him that his music has helped them out. He thinks, "Nah mate, thanks, but you got the wrong guy."
Great reaction. Yes I think the cracks in the mirror is the ultra critical nature of how we judge ourselves too harshly. From the outside we see all the positive conversations around the world that Ren has created and we reflect on that as there are no cracks in a positive thought as it is truthful to our feelings ❤
Haha, funny how we all seem to find something different in it. For me it sounds like a 60s-70s revolutionary type of tune and the visuals in the chorus go full spaghetti western.
I can understand having those feelings and thoughts. I have had them when I was younger. It felt like there was no way out of my pain. Hugs, I am proud of you for giving yourself another day. 💕💕 I mean that with all sincerity.
Nigela Lawson is a English celebrity chef who father was once the chancellor of the exchequer in UK, he was called Nigel. For those that don’t know who she is
Excellent, thoughtful reaction, with great words at the end about supporting each other as we work through pain and depression. That, I think, is the main point of what Ren does as an artist. Because he's so raw, honest, vulnerable, it's like his music gives us "permission" to be the same way. Much healthier than holding it all in. Already I've listened to the song three times today, and it was the third listen--during your reaction--that brought tears to my eyes. As if the feeling or message of the song finally sunk in. 😢
Perhaps that’s a nugget left for you to discover. It actually could be him expressing a crisis of faith. People have those. Especially if they have been desperate.
🙏🏼 for your well balanced reacting and your words at the end. As someone who is bipolar with ptsd they mean a lot. Hope you have a lovely weekend.😊🙏🏼again🫶🏼🌻🌻🌻😉
One thing that really stood out for me that nobody has pointed out is the part in the video where the arms are like puppets on strings really hits home cos when your mentally ill and on meds you feel like you are a puppet and your going along for the ride like a puppet someone else is pulling the strings
I'm catching up with peoples reactions (flitting in and out of France watching World Cup rugby matches), loved your reaction to this. The person doing his lyric videos is properly talented with words and visuals. Ren name checked him recently, rightly so. This is a deep and exceptional song. I almost get the impression that using these songs as vehicles to tell his current and past life stories/struggles is very cathartic for him. Sumptuous hook in the singing parts.
It most definitely feels like it has therapeutic quality. Singer/songwriter’s usually have a story to tell and boy does he ever do that. I can’t imagine the fun you must be having! I have always dreamed of attending a match in person. It is so exciting!
@@redheadedneighbor We did 2 matches in Marseille then holidayed in Nice for another. Popped over to Lille for Eng v Chile, Nantes in 2 weeks then Paris for both semi finals. SA v Ire was match of the tournament so far, highlights on the RWC site. Back to Ren, what a talent!
Hey, again! 😊 I love how well you received this song. ❤ Noticing some of the comments towards the song were maybe coming from a place of misperceptions. He's very transparent about his illness, struggles, etc.... i think listeners need to realize that these songs were written in times of utter despair. Yes, it can be dark ,but i agree with you 💯! ! These things need to be talked about... Tbh, my Previous M.H. career that has been cut short due to illnesses. Isolation, pain, has taken me to very dark places & i know that will be a continuous process. I will always advocate for M.H. ,and appreciate you for speaking on it. Ren has brought me to tears, made me laugh, and be happy everyday. So much appreciation for his genius!🙏🙏 Didn't plan on writing a novel today😮😂 Thx.again ,Appreciate you.
I'm going to therapy for the first time tomorrow for being bipolar with me delusion and apparently psychosis because why not.. won't lie I'm terrified to open up but these kinda videos really help so thank you 👍💕
Someone mentioned the significance of the 6 broken mirrors shown in the video. 7 years bad luck for each, equals 42. The number 42 has significant meaning in the Reniverse.
The number 42 is especially significant to fans of science fiction novelist Douglas Adams' “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,” because that number is the answer given by a supercomputer to “the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.”
Just a thought . Could be someone (or himself) judging him hard , brow beating . The next voice admits it or says agreement like a puppet. I notice the codemning voice is like the one in Hi Ren that is chirping about art in the song ...pretentious type, maybe . . .
Valium + alcohol is not a trip you want to get into... Even the "dark night of the soul" (where the brightest dawn is about to happen...) seems a confortable journey with Ren.
He doesn't drink, according to an article i read. When his friend Joe died he got very drunk after the funeral, then vowed never to drink again. That line depicts what many people do.
I thinks it's time to move away from the sick boi now. I love REN, and I know this put him on the map for everyone but can't wait until he does some more songs like FIRE off the Freckled Angel album. If you haven't reacted to Fire yet, OMG do that one you will absolutely love . Oh and Children of the Moon during October.
This sounds like a nightmare. Absolute garbage. He's preaching death and destruction. I will pray for this man but he might be in love with the darkness. I won't expect to see him in the kingdom, I won't hold my breath. Sounds like he is trying to lead many astray, may the Lord have mercy on his soul.
To me, it sounds like a song within a dark moment. It’s very hard to hear people talk about these things. But it is something people feel every day. And don’t talk about. I don’t see it as a call for mass suicide. I see it as a frustration, a capture of a bad day, or week or season of life. Yes, please pray for this man. There will be some within the kingdom that will surprise us.
I mean seriously, who isn't trapped in the Ren rabbit hole lol. Ren is a musical genius and not stuck to just one thing. It is always a mystery what he will do next which makes it so exciting. Cya on the next one neighbor.
I’m not trapped in it but God I do love popping down the burrow for a visit.
See ya! Thank you for stopping in!

He said on the live stream today, that the next album will be more of the bright, and sick Boi is the darkness
@@Plague073 Good to know, thanks for that.
Exactly!

Ohhh. Hadn’t thought of that
Let's get him to number 1! He deserves it!!!! Love your reactions!!!!
Absolutely! Thank you.
Love this song so much! Kind of reminds me of Hi Ren how he goes back and forth between his fun/happy and darker side. Loved your reaction ❤
Thank you. It was kind of like Hi Ren!
Love it! This track is REALLY underated! ❤👩🏻🦰
An incredible talent, The Bitchin Bard, Shaking things up with Spear in hand.
🔥🔥🔥so amazing
I'm so sad that this is it until Money Game pt 3 next month! 😭
Ren was saying he still doesn't know how to take compliments, or when people tell him that his music has helped them out. He thinks, "Nah mate, thanks, but you got the wrong guy."
Yeah Thursdays just won’t be the same without a Ren drop
That sounds right.

Quite deep, isn’t it? Incredible writing.
James Bond vibes in the chorus
I can see that
Sounds very muse like ..... brilliant😊
Haha, funny how we all seem to find something different in it. For me it sounds like a 60s-70s revolutionary type of tune and the visuals in the chorus go full spaghetti western.
Dont miss out on the other drop tonight hun. You will find an impromptu acoustic session on his twitch from tonight.
Thank you!
That session was excellent! Other people mentioned that it deserves its own reactions. Ren was on a roll!
@@ClearTheRubble7 he sounds like he was in rare form!
@@ClearTheRubble7 Deffo surprised the reactors haven't jumped on it yet
I have major depression and it really is how it is. Sometimes the thought of S is a comfort
I can understand having those feelings and thoughts. I have had them when I was younger. It felt like there was no way out of my pain. Hugs, I am proud of you for giving yourself another day. 💕💕 I mean that with all sincerity.

She’s also a proper fox.

It’s a hard hitting song. Painful. But it’s how people feel sometimes
The title and lyrics say "Lost All Faith", but it sounds like he sings "Lost My Faith". I wonder why.
Perhaps that’s a nugget left for you to discover. It actually could be him expressing a crisis of faith. People have those. Especially if they have been desperate.
🙏🏼 for your well balanced reacting and your words at the end. As someone who is bipolar with ptsd they mean a lot. Hope you have a lovely weekend.😊🙏🏼again🫶🏼🌻🌻🌻😉

thank you for reacting and supporting my favourite artist ever I absolutely love this one ❤❤
💕good!
Super apreciative of your connecting music
Appreciate you!
I want a t-shirt with that profile of Ren with the red eyes, either side view, front or both.
That would fly off the shelves

Thx.again ,Appreciate you.
You have no idea how much I appreciate you. I’m uploading your vid now. 💕
It should be out in 20. 💕
@redheadedneighbor Yeahhh!!!! T.y.!❤️
Thank you so much for the reassuring words. They helped me through a bad day.
That genuinely makes me happy. 💕
might be his best piece 💛
I have such a difficult picking a favorite with him. He is constantly pushing himself and allowing for change
@@redheadedneighbor he got to do better to overcome this!
Hi Ren and Tales of j+s are out of competition!
@@stankal901 seriously top notch

💕💕
of the last 3 songs this is my favorite, such a great vibe
💕
Thank you very much. I'm so grateful that this treatment he's receiving in Canada is working.
So am I!
Does the lady at the end sing, "your're my armour, could you be the one?".
Hmm. I’ll have to go back and check

Can't wait for the album!
Gonna be 🔥🔥

Yeah he’s kinda talking to himself again
Hope you didn’t say he does (listens).

I’m excited to see what he does next. I loved him with the big push. I am curious about where he takes the next album.
Yes! he said he was going back to rock on the next one. stoked for that. Thanks so much for even taking the time to respond.

Ooohh dear… 👀
Forgive him and move on if that’s you’re jam!
You sound so full of compassion and love. Jesus would be proud.
@@mikmook4781I hope so. I know that I’m not worthy and He is more compassionate than we can fathom.
It is interesting in the chorus he sings 'my faith' but the video lyrics says 'all faith'
I think the graphics guy made a boo boo.
Others are noticing a discrepancy as well. Intentional?
