It always has everyone emotional, and it's a great song. Check it out if you've not reacted to it already mate

      Hi! Ren is a divine gift to this world! Ive yet to find anything of his i didn't absolutely love. Another divine gift is Chris Stapleton. I dont know if you ever heard (of) him? He has an Amazing voice & effortlessly delivers jaw dropping, goosebump worthy live performances. He's in the country music genre, so to speak, but is unique & talented enough to transcend genres. Its important to note than when checking out Chris Stapleton's music, check out the live versions. The studio versions are Amazing, but Live Stapleton takes it to a whole new level. 😮 If he's new to you, id suggest starting with Chris Stapleton "Tennessee Whiskey" live from Austin City Limits ❤️‍🔥 ;-) Thank you!

    Music heals, and I've seen more healing happening in reaction to Ren's music than any other artist I can recall.
    If you want another intense, and intensely beautiful, one from Ren and Chinchilla, How To Be Me is gorgeous. (But a word of caution: it addresses that decision to end things.)

So thankful you’re still here with us. Keep fighting strong

    Thank you for sharing your story with us, and for such a heartfelt, genuine reaction. The way music can speak to us is intensely beautiful. I'm so glad that you are still with us.
    I think you'd like the Ren and Chinchilla song How to be Me. But it was written about Ren's friend Joe whose life was lost to the darkness you survived. It is a profoundly beautiful song but you need to be in the right head space to listen to it. I hope you do listen as I think it will resonate.

  • @philk9227
    @philk9227 Před rokem +17

    Don't apologise for the honest and genuine reaction my friend. Ren has this ability to reach in and grab us by the emotions in a powerful and ultimately cathartic way. There is so much more that binds us together as humans than there is that divides us. It is just in the turmoil of living we forget. Ren helps us remember that we are not alone and brings us together to support each other in these crazy times. Much respect m8 from the UK

    Thank you for your story and for sharing your touching reaction to this song. I tear up every time and I must have watched it 100 times. Never underestimate the power of music! I'm happy to be here with you sharing this art and appreciate your video.
    If you wish to watch another emotive example of these two weaving magic, then please listen to 'how to be me (live version)', but be warned its also an emotional roller coaster! For more ren fun, try some of the less dark stuff - 'losing it' is a fun uptempo rap masterpiece with catchy rythems, Ren spiting fire and having a right laugh. Try that as a counterpoint to something like this, it will offer some catharsis!

    Don't you say sorry my friend! It was wonderful seeing someone spill some honest tears, the beauty and darkness combined in this song should bring someone to tears... And I personally feel that if they don't get emotional that they are literally not human lol or just simply disconnected from themselves and reality.
    Thank you for being bold!

    That's how I am (even worse) when I hear Freckled Angels. I lost my husband/best friend to lung cancer 7 years ago and every time I hear that song it just all comes back and I bawl. This guy does something different and can produce the strongest emotions in us (the listeners). It's magic. I have no other explanation.

    @seana2646 Před rokem +6

    Never say sorry for being yourself. Its a strange thing to listen to music that makes you feel nothing when one of the gifts of music is to make you feel. I guess sometimes we all want a bit of background noise. But when you want to feel connected, understood & part of something bigger Music is most peoples link. I think Ren is a bit special & through his own understanding of pain is able to embrace others, to lift them up. Its a rare gift & why its lovely to see you so happy to have found him.

    You have made giant strides to turn your life around
    And in doing so take pride that you are inspiring others to do the same.

    You are giving back more than you took
    And that is the key

    As someone who's dealt with self-scarring, drug abuse, and suicidal ideation for over twenty years, there's something both cathartic and hopeful in watching these kinds of videos. I dont know what you've been through, but just knowing that this song might have united us in that space, even if we've had to survive it, feels both saddening and hopeful. I hope you know what I mean... it;s terrible, but still thrilling to know that we went through those flames and still came out alive.

      Thanks so much Julio 💜 Primary school was awesome didn't have much bullying going on there but going to the high school I went to I lost a lot of my primary school friends & yeah my high school days where pretty horrible luckily I left the school I was in after 3 years and went to study music but those 3 years in high school taught me lots about how people really can be if you just think a little differently then them. I've dealt with that trauma tho but in my twenties i just went down a huge spiral but glad to be out of that life. Past couple years have been really good and I'm enjoying life again 💜 Appreciate you dude for taking the time to comment. Will never forget those primary school and soccer days 🤘

Was on meds for a while due to a miss diagnosis of a mental disorder. This song, and your reaction, resonates within me. This song is my latest addiction. It gets the tears out, and allows me to feel the emotions that got blocked at a young age. It also gets me singing out loud. Peace friend.

    Your reaction was so emotional and heartfelt. I wish you the best seeing how hard it hit you. This song sounds like my life. I’m 59 and bipolar, and have battled it for decades. I’ve tried every kind of medication for extreme mania causing days of insomnia and the crippling depression that always follows. I understand walking around as a floating chalk outline. I’ve traced and erased myself in that outline all of my life.
    This song is incredible. It’s perfectly written, played and sung. The fact that this song doesn’t have the recognition it deserves is a musical crime. I’m sure recognition for his insane talent will come soon.
    Your reaction was so heartfelt, thank you so much.

    I love the fact that you are feeling the music as strongly as you do. I also have a strong emotional reaction to Ren’s Music. I am a guy that has lots of tattoos and I ride a Harley and people think of me as a “tough guy”, but when I hear beautiful music like Ren and Chinchilla, I get chills and tears almost every time. Keep up the good work in growing as a person, and making CZcams videos. Well done

    When describing Ren's music, "cathartically gutting" is the term I've used frequently. He knows how to connect.

    So much respect, showing emotion isn't a weakness it's a sign that you are connected to your inner self.

    Your reaction is pure 🔥 because it is genuine and your emotion only enhances it further. You a clearly a very strong person to be able to overcome your demons, get healthy and have 8yrs of sobriety (super inspiring). So glad to have found you through Ren

    I have seen this song several times, cried and cried and finally could listen without crying. You, my friend, your reaction made me cry once again. Isn't it amazing how Ren puts us all together? Thank you for such a beautiful worthy reaction.

    i love you man, and i love how Ren's music is bringing these issues and truths to light. i see people commenting about their trauma and issues, opening up to strangers, when they've maybe never even spoken to ANYONE about them before. it's such heavy and sad stuff but brings about healing and understanding and closure and connection that many people would have never otherwise experienced. we all feel so fucking alone at times or all the time, but we have more in common than we think.

    I'm so happy that you are in a better place mentally now, I love your enthusiasm and raw reactions to music. I've said it before elsewhere but it's still true. Ren rips out your soul lays it bare and hands it back better than before. There is something comforting about a performer as talented as Ren showing the world what we all feel at times. Keep doing you and much love from TX(USA)❤

    Hey Shaney. I’m truly caught in the ‘Ren Rabbit hole’ and I love it here. I’ve watched most of the ‘Hi Ren’ reactions and am now doing the rounds of ‘Chalk outlines’. As a fellow depression sufferer also blessed to be sober for 10 years, I know that this is going to be an emotional watch. The song itself tears at my heart as the identification is palpable. I’m looking forward to watching…
    Your reaction was so moving. Thank you for allowing yourself to be so emotional, honest and transparent. You cried, I cried, Ren is a genius. You have a new sub. LIF.

    My guy, I know your pain. I was on two anti-depressants for over a year that nearly killed me. I lost 20 pounds in a month from Lexapro because I couldn't eat more than a few hundred calories a day. Threw up a countless amount of times every day. It was the hardest time of my life. I got on nortriptyline after that, and for the next 8 months, my personality and emotions became numb. I wasn't myself anymore, and had even worse anxiety. I'm on the tail-end of this darkness now. Keep to the path. There really is light.

    Ren’s medical story is similar to mine except for my age of almost 60. His words cut through scars I thought were healed and lay bare the still excruciating wounds. Yet somehow, knowing I’m not so alone on this rocky path of mine makes the journey a little easier.
    Thank you for being courageous enough to share your honest feelings.

    i cried a bit to ren and chinchilla how to be me, even after watching that vid a few times now, it still leaves me with a lump in my throat.
    brilliant and genuine reaction man, be well.

    I too have suffered from depression and still do. I’m a 54 year old woman and feel great empathy for you. I think REN’s gift to us is to create art where he and chinchilla reflect back and articulate where we sometimes can’t find the right way to express ourselves. It’s beautiful and your beautiful. Good luck with your channel. I’m a new subscriber!
