Lost Souls in A Haunted World (Reaction) Ren - Fred Again Mash Up

[@MissMeKate]

He caught me completely off-guard at the end with how visible he made his pain. Shifted the tone in such a beautifully bittersweet way. ❤

[@snakevenomv]

Couldn't agree more! 💔❤

[@geofthompson3844]

There's very few artists in history who can truly move me.
Ren is at the top of that very short list. He is able to traslate his pain to us in a way that doesn't feel like an act. He is as genuine as it gets.

[@spomenkachekerevatz4848]

Yeah, definitely the Tales Vibes ❤

[@MargaretKichenama]

@@snakevenomv tears in my eyes and sandwiched between two blankets. Subbed!

[@MissMeKate]

​@@snakevenomv This reaction was included in the reaction compilation that Ren has shared on his community page. You guys made him cry! ❤ Just in case you haven't seen it.

[@Hexenkind1]

If anybody is curious about the "Fred Again..." songs Ren "mashed up" in his newest track they are as follows:
- Jungle
- Delilah (pull me out of this)
- leavemealone
- Clara (the night is dark)
- Angie (i’ve been lost)

[@snakevenomv]

Thank you my friend!

[@Cabiriad]

@Hexenkind1 Thanks!

[@snakevenomv]

Hey @@Cabiriad hope you've been well. I reached out to you via email awhile back, not sure if you had seen it yet?

[@Cabiriad]

@@snakevenomv Hi! No, I never got it. I replied here earlier with my email, but it was removed, I guess, by youtube. Try the one in PPal, that should have worked.
(Sorry Harry for yakking in your thread :)

[@cradlegrl]

My god. Ren is just amazing! No artist can touch his talent!

[@snakevenomv]

[@AviarSavijon]

Yes Josh did an outstanding job as videographer/ cameraman. It's specutive. But the red and blue lighting is the melding of the two stages of battle and trying. Great reaction as always.

[@snakevenomv]

Thanks for that! Good point!

[@sampanther8854]

Oh man Ren is the healthier way of medicating ones self.. Is it only me that feels like we been close to cold turkey then over prescribed and just got greedy and ingested the whole dam lot... The soul of this beautiful human ❤ love your take on it.. We've all missed him and wish him well 🤗take care snake 🐍✌️

[@snakevenomv]

Truth! Thank you Sam 🐍❤

[@helenajrgensen3157]

Felt this. Very emotional ❤a deep sense that these were not "just" Fred Again's words, but that they had been made into Ren's words.

[@snakevenomv]

Ren is great at doing that, this is probably a more upbeat tempo song but Ren brought a whole new realm to it 💔💙❤

[@Lou-xq9br]

❤ #ren
Its so beautiful! My heart 🥺❤️🖤

[@snakevenomv]

Absolutely! ❤💙

[@Lou-xq9br]

​@@snakevenomv❤ I definitely felt lost until I found Ren & The Big Push 15 mths ago ❤ I listen to him/them daily. He is a very special human 🥰🖤

[@yolandescheepers7262]

Josh did a 🔥 job with the camera....love this song..😢😢

[@snakevenomv]

I can't stop listening! If Sam can't make it to a video shoot, never fear Josh is hear! They make a great 3 musketeers

[@allisonal]

I remember someone saying that Josh was the one pulling focus on the original Money Game video, so it makes total sense that he brought in that neat focus change. And don’t forget the money game 7 sins videos he put together! He’s been a wizard behind the scenes for a long time now!!

[@snakevenomv]

@@allisonal Great point! ❤❤

[@jeanhiebert3425]

Remember how Kasey Chambers made Lose Yourself her own? I feel Ren just did that with Fred Again. In my opinion, you can't get that kind of emotion with EDM.

[@snakevenomv]

Straight truth! Ren stripped it down and gave new life to it

[@manuelper]

I went and checked these tracks out from Fred and of course, all the credit to the original creator; but Ren raised the stock of these tracks imo.

[@SCash-rl5ee]

Really liked your take on the change of the camera angle and focus during the "I've been lost" portion of the song. You're the first I've heard to mention that.

[@snakevenomv]

THank you, my pleasure!

[@Deeb390]

I feel sometimes that he must feel the weight of carrying so many people’s expectations and pain. I think these words must ring true, at least, in some respects for his life. This is just stunning. Thank you for your beautiful words of wisdom, as well.❤️

[@snakevenomv]

Absolutely! The more eyes, the more pressure. I feel he's letting us know he's just as lost as us, but maybe we can be guides for one another. Thank you for being here, much love ❤

[@aaronbeecher]

Why do Ren’s videos seem so much more … purposeful than anything else I’ve ever seen ? He’s magical. And you sir, react and breakdown videos better than anyone! Keep it up bro bro

[@snakevenomv]

Agree 💯% Much love my dude, I'm grateful of the kind words

[@ThtGuyBradd]

I’ve watched countless reaction vids to this, no I’m not sick of the song it’s amazing. And all the different perspectives is great to see!
You are the first person to notice the focus in and out with him looking away! I’m impressed and that deserves a sub 🎉

So beautiful, so melancholic, so touching. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction!

[@bethstratton3391]

This track is so fire, just look at that skyline. It was shot so beautifully by Josh, The ‘Red pill/blue pill’ tells you all you need to know - Ren is Neo! The Sick Boi lamp flashing sending out that distress signal or beacon of hope signal to the sky. I love the whole Yin Yang to this track. Definitely a re-mix you were spot on Snake. The guitar was lush and Ren’s voice is so gorgeous, I mean who can resist, right?!
The FRED tracks: Jungle, Delilah (Pull Me Out Of This), Leave Me Alone, Mission and Clara (The Night Is Dark) were all in this Mash-Up.

[@snakevenomv]

THank you Beth! The whole compound of everything was immaculate and well thought out! Thanks for the Fred tracklist btw! ❤💙

[@bethstratton3391]

@@snakevenomv So right! I thought since you aren’t familiar with FRED Again. Btw check out his tiny desk concert you’ll love it I promise.

[@Singlespeedjo]

This was incredible. REN never misses. I got goosebumps several times! Great reaction as always❤😊

[@snakevenomv]

Agreed! Thank you! 💙❤

[@julieturner5037]

Ren does have a way of making us feel both joy and sadness simultaneously doesn't he? And the acoustic guitar just seems like a part of him, if that makes sense. As for being lost, I think the world we live in makes us feel that way. I can't remember who said it but there's a quote that stuck with me: Life is about the journey and not the destination. 💙❤

[@snakevenomv]

Yup I always agree with that quote! When I played the indie game Journey there was no commentary or spoken word, but I was enthralled because as the title suggest it's all about the 'Journey' ❤ and what a journey it was

[@julieturner5037]

I've played that too - it's a beautiful game - I love the shimmering sand when your character is gliding down the sand dunes 🤩

[@Jason_xofilos]

Did you notice aside from duality of red and blue sides of Ren’s face the wall behind is a blend of red and blue, in other word purple.
IMHO Ren doesn’t peer away but looks at the Sick Boi illuminated logo twice during singing Angie (I’ve been lost). A lot of us needed to have Ren sing words/music of Fred Again especially for me, Angie. I think you are wrong abut being lost. It’s like depression we all have moments of being depressed or lost or both. But some of live most of a good portion of our lives lost or depressed or in pain. That is when we have moments of giving up or darkness envelopes us. That is Ren’s duality living between light and darkness in the Eternal Dance and Ren stated in “Hi Ren”.

The red and blue lighting has been used for a long time in film with different kinds of symbolism, but usually with some kind of duality.
