Whoever is reading this: You are important

Chris you're one of us now - A Renegade! Welcome to the family :) If you need a break from the Ren-therapy definitely check out: Back on 74/Message in a Bottle Remake (Jazz), Uninvited (cheeky flirty song), and What You Want (Beasty Boys throwback). Much lighter and just shows his love for music. You're doing great, my friend, and I enjoyed this reaction! It wasn't as heavy emotionally as Hi Ren, as you mentioned, but I could still tell the exact point where the song hit you the hardest. It pulled you in so much you couldn't help but sing the lyrics alongside him - it was a magical sight.I hope that with each of these songs, the lyrics help take a bit more of that weight from your shoulders.

👏👏👏🫶👍🤝🙋‍♀️ „…Every tear …is pain…leaving the body“ ❤

At the age of 4 years old, I was ducovered to have a brain tumor. The year before, my paternal grandfather died from a brain tumor. This was in August 1954. I learned back then not to ask, "Why me" Why not me? We have to learn to play the cards we were dealt! If you could give your troubles to someone else, how would you choose who that would be? Any time I feel slighted a parable echoes in my head, "I cried because I had no shoes and then I saw a man who had no feet". The moral is, ALWAYS count your blessings! I hope this gives you a bit of help in dealing with your life. Ren is much better at the inspiration stuff.

Listening to ren and ren reactions , and reading the comments has made me realise we as humans have so much more in common than the powers that be would have us believe 🇬🇧😊

Ren isn't the only genius out there. A wise man once wrote: "And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you. No-one told you when to run. You missed the starting gun." I'm so glad you decided to do this, and not put it off. YOU are creating something great here. The time to do it is NOW. Congratulations. Subscriber here.

We listen to Ren because he wears his heart on his sleeve and he’s ALWAYS himself. So just be you and the people will hang out with you. In a time that’s polluted with fake online personas and videos and headlines etc… just be real. 👍 “Su!cide” and “Freckled Angels”(recorded version not the live) are definite must listen to’s. Tales of Jenny & Screech and Violet’s tale is one of the most masterful storytelling songs the world has ever heard. There’s a money game trilogy as well but #3 is by far the best and you don’t need to listen to them in order. So much Ren… so little time. Once you get though all his main songs there’s some absolutely beautiful busking performances Ren has done with friends that will blow your mind.

Chops, it's said that if everyone was told to throw all their problems onto a pile and then from that pile told to choose a problem they'd rather have, you'd be surprised how many people would reach for yours!. You've been thru the ringer, yet here you are!.

Hi sweet man. Lovely to have found you ❤️‍🩹

Ren has a saying he used in his 1 million subs video. A rising tide lifts all ships. Ren encourages others to raise others up. You are amazing. Keep up the great work.

A lot of us struggle and find connections through music like Ren, and others that love and understand his music. Legitimately some of the best fans out there, also consider checking out Harry Mack and his Omegle Bars series, the man might be the best freestyler on the planet and there are a lot of wholesome and feel good moments. I'm not surprised your channel is growing, you are very relatable and I just wanna hug you man. The support is here, keep going!

Just keep doing you. We are here with you. Everyone just wants connection, even thru digital means!

I see you, brother

Beautiful song, beautiful reaction. Truth is beauty. Welcome Renegade.

One of the things I love most about the communities of independent artists is the care and concern for others. We all can lean against each other and keep ourselves afloat in this crazy world. Ren likes to remind us that a rising tide lifts all boats.

💙 You are great and brave, Chris. Wonderful reaction. Thank you! (You should really try some The Big Push songs for fun as well, it was Ren's band and they were killing it! :o) I suggest "Sweet Little Lady /live/", "I Shot The Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop", "Watch Out", "It's Alright" - all this is really uplifting. :o)

Thank you 🙏🖤 Chris 🤍 for your 🐷 Ren - 🚗 Troubles (Live Acoustic) reaction! #ren #verahall #kai #josh #troublesohard #troubles #troublesliveacoustic #live #acoustic #slaughterhouse #calgary #calgarytower #roadmovie

I watched your Hi Ren reaction and it touched my heart. I’m looking forward to this one too. I gotta say you’re on the path now just stay on this path Remember that thoughts and stories we tell ourselves are not necessarily facts. Maybe we cannot push those stories out of her head, but we don’t have to linger in them walk right through it and get to the other side and remember it’s just a story. It’s not fact. I’m 67. I found Ren about a year and a half ago. I’ve listened to him every day since. He’s brightened my perspective and energized me and his music is like a warm cozy blanket when I’m sad I hope you find all those things happen to you too

Stay strong man, you’re amongst family with this bunch, and we stand here beside you today. I stole that last part ;-)

Even though we're strangers, I just gotta say that I'm so proud of you! You ventured out of your comfort zone and are creating a space of authenticity, vulnerability and compassion. It's a beautiful thing! Sending you love, light and luck, my fellow Renegade 💗🦇🌟🦇🍀

These Ren sings helped me take my life back after 3yrs of "bedrotting" with injuries and illness. I looked at him, trying to heal and find such joy in getting back out there, I wanted to try it too. Been through all the Ren song tears, it has turned cathartic. I had to get through the tears these lyrics brought up, but it left me in a better place. His pure humanity and indomitable spirit inspired me.

That phrase gives me a chuckle for us Gen X-ers. "What am I, chopped liver!". Being forced to eat liver growing up I hate it with a passion. So this is a cut down for sure. 😂Nice reaction, glad you found the community, I like it and the majority are friendly and easy to chat with. Thanks again. New sub.

I think people want to see reality. Ren and yourself are completely real, open, raw and just you. That’s more relatable than anything else.

Im glad you were able to feel positive after your first reaction. See, you can do it! I always thought the shit I went thru was not important cause I saw that some people have it so much worse, so stop bitching Kathy,, I did this for most of my life but one time I had a therapist tell me to stop thinking that way and stop putting myself down, my feelings do count. This acoustic version was beautiful and you can just feel his pain and joy. Have a good week.

Oh yeah. Comedy is definitely a must. Ren has fun songs too. Look at the other video of this. Its as great. Uninvited might make you blush lol. Down On The Beat is good

❤❤❤ Thank you for listening to the song with me.

You are the first person i'v ever felt connected with here on youtube! Your struggle, your emotions are so pure and I cry a lot in real life. I've found some friends and when i feel like i can't take it anymore i call them and sometimes i just cry and they accept me for who i am. We RENegades accept you for who you are. Don't talk about clumsiness, don't be apologetic! You're an amazing person, we all are! You should talk to Ren, he's an amazing guy! I'm gonna give him the link to your channel

Ren is also an agnostic but he likes to use religious terms in his music because they tell a story, they have loads of symbolism that many many people can understand. It also gives a mysterious and philosophical feel to it, I think. Great reaction, I really enjoy hearing your thoughts ❤

New sub here from Arizona, I'm here for any and all Ren reactions. As a 54 year old music lover my whole life, Ren has reconfigured my mind for the better and REN-EWED my heart & soul by making me really hear music for the 1st time in my life! Thank you for the great & emotional reaction! 😊 what an amazing journey awaits you!

What You Want!!!! Ren will definitely lift your spirits with that one or Power.

Keep being with us, just being you. You're doing amazing!

You can say that again, since finding Hi Ren, I'm at 4400+ Ren videos closing in on 5K! 😊 Ren's music has been in my life daily!!

Your heart on your sleeve, your candid vulnerability is the special sauce you bring to the recipe. Keep being you. ❤️❤️❤️

Love you, Chris ! Big comforting hugs from me to you ! Keep doing you !

I’m watching your videos with Ren going back to the beginning. I don’t know if you will ever read this but I would like to tell you my story. I’m 60 now with my husband and 4 beautiful adult kids. 12 years ago my Dad died in my arms and a year later my Mom disappeared on the same day and month. She was found 20 days later (I was besides myself with anger and fear). I hit a depression I’ve never experienced before and my life became a black hole. I tried to get out of life but it wasn’t my time yet. I have awful guilt for putting my children through what I was going through. 4 years later my brother was murdured. I then agreed to move to the US with my family. The stress of moving to another country was crazy. I live with chronic pain in mostly operation sites and my back is packing up on me. My knees not far behind. When I found Ren 20 months ago I was ecstatic. He has given me hope amongst other things. My kids do think i’m bonkers 😅. My Husband is getting used to my wall of Ren in the bedroom. I think he’s happy that I’m happy while still in terrible pain like his song Seven Sins. I’m here for all your Ren reactions ❤

Watching you going into this Rabbit Hole makes me hopeful you will find it as cathartic as I did. It’s like a concentrated dose of the best therapy.

❤

Good morning brother, Congratulations for having gathered the courage to open up in front of us... We can be here for you too. I feel like it's wrong of me to tell you what to react to, maybe I'd ask for a tutorial on something you can do well 😊. Bless you, bless all of us... May we live in peace 🙏

I appreciate you man,we have alot in common.🙏✌️🤙

You are so humble and kind and we all have “shit” it’s about the getting up and moving forward no matter how ugly it looks. Keep going brother!!

Such a powerful song

Great reaction! You are a real Renegade and I am really glad to have found you. Stay strong!

Ren touches our hearts, affecting our hidden pains. It hurts and it's healing. Tears are melting pain. As you said, now it can leave your body. Hard work, brother! Thanks for doing it 🙏❤️

I am really enjoying your reactions - I think because you are "real" and "authentic" and one of the things I enjoy is because I know Ren's catalogue so well, I like the anticipation of seeing your amazement and gratitude for Ren and how you will relate because it fills me with joy to see a fellow human being that has struggled / is struggling feel heard and connected because now you are being heard and we all have connected with you.

Chris, if Ren is speaking your heart then you may want to look up an artist called Nate - he goes by the name NF. Start with "The Search". Ren started the cracking of my tightly wrapped trauma and NF's music triggered my PTSD but I came out the other side so much better. Take the NF journey, friend. Greetings from Australia!

Thank you for beiing you, Ren thought me to give closure to the suicide of my godchild. He inspired me to write a letter of understanding and encouragement to the person who had to find my godchild death.... as my life is slowly ending I can relate to the reactor community... you mentioned fakebook, yep that what I call it to..... at night when I can't sleep I listnen to reactors and you already have a place in my heart, hug and kisses❤❤❤

Love Music 1-4 are fun

Loved this reaction. You're doing a great job! One of my favorites by Ren is called Hold On. Definately one to check out. Wishing you continued success.

Dude, I can already see your comfort level on cam changing, even in this short time and it’s great. I’m truly happy for you man. See you in the next one. 🤘

I noticed that you got extra emotional at the same place in the song as I do every time I listen to it. Not so much when he describes his pain and struggle but when he found help and healing. I always cry the most when I see, hear or experience something positive, joyful or beautiful. I don’t know why but I know that I’m not the only one.

Amazing reaction again! Sending love from Colorado ❤🎉 I would recommend Losing It (Fisher Retake) for some fun 🎉

Can’t wait to see what Ren will be going towards in the future. Its beautiful to see people bloom

Welcome to the Renegades, Chris. You will not find a more supportive and welcoming community anywhere. We send love. ❤❤

I love people hearing Ren for the first time,its so beautiful

big hugs man

Catharsis is such a powerful feeling. It gives me so much strength to keep pushing. If you need more suggestions, someone else I really love is Eli. (with the period) "Disappear" and "Worthless" are great places to start. Bit of a different vibe, but he has a great voice and amazing lyrics. That was the first time I listened to someone and thought, "Man, he gets it!" Keep up the great work, friend. You are strong enough to do whatever you want. It's inside of you, just reach within and grab hold of it. Much love. ❤

I'm here. I see you. I'm loving your genuine reaction. Feeling deeply should never be seen as weakness. It is absolute strength to share so openly. Also, I'd love to see you react to Ren x Chinchilla How to Be Me, live. Hauntingly beautiful. I absolutely love that one. Lol. I love them all. ❤

Thank you man more ren please

You have no idea how much just a simple reaction to a song could be so damn powerful, this mornig was one of those rougher ones, then I clicked on this video just to pass some time and about a minute and a half into it I started feeling a whole lot better man, so real, raw and true THANK YOU SO MUCH

For subtitles click on the "CC" box.

It was a great reaction. I'm so glad that you decided to face your fear and jump on here.I think you will be shocked by just how quickly you will grow.Because you're just being yourself.Don't be so hard on yourself. And remember everybody's problems are there for a reason. They helped us grow into the people that we have become. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with us. I look forward to your videos. I enjoyed your other 2 videos. I made quite a few comments, but apparently, some of them got mixed up with a different post, which I'm not sure how, but who knows. It was quite funny though because it was a comment about the F22 and it was on a cat post.😂😂😂

Ren doing accoustic and the offical video are often very different so it's worth doing reactions to both. The only one that needs to be the offical (first) is Money Game 2. The accoustic is great but it's only 1/2 the song and you need to see it all if you're doing the Trilogy, which is amazing and well worth doing. (Plus the offical version is amazing).

Watch / React to the official music video for this. On the bottom of the screen Ren wrote a lot of what you have said both in the beginning and at the end of the song. And it’s important because it shows who Ren is , apart from his musical and lyrical genius, as being not just gifted but a gift for so many of us. Welcome to the Renegades. ❤

I see the pain you carry in your heart and on your soul. Just know that what you feel and experience is valid, no matter what other people's struggles might be. Pain should not be compared. You deserve healing. Just as everybody who experiences pain. You deserve compassion and love, just as we all do. Thank you for your reaction.

Hurt people hurt people is an old and true saying. But help you, help me is one too. It's amazing when you can connect in so many unexpected ways ❤ feeling less alone is so healing. keep your head up & share what you're comfortable with. You'll be blown away by how much you are not alone in your struggles. Love, a new sub

❤❤❤

All of Ren’s music is great, but some of it is hard to hear and the feeling lingers. I highly recommend you listen to a song that shows his incredible fortitude so you can draw strength from it, too. It’s called Patience.

Yes, welcome fam. Ren's masterpiece performance can be found in "Money Game part 3" for which many think it exceeds the "Hi Ren" performance. Other suggestions: Tom MacDonald's "People So Stupid" or "Dummies" and Nova Rockafeller's "Hey You" or "Lost Girls" if you get the chance. Doin" great brother-man, so just stick with it.

REN has provided many people, myself included much needed catharsis. It sounds trite but, better out than in. If you keep it in, it eats you from the inside. Let it out. REN does have some really good fun music that others have suggested. Maybe listen to a couple of those. 😊

We are here for you man, let the healing begin. This Ren song will have some relevance for you, it's called 'Ready for you'

🌻❤️

Sending you a hug all the way from the South of England. ❤

We may not have been through the same struggles, but the way you felt on your worst day is the same way I felt on my worst day. Music has always been my "therapy." My childhood wasn't the greatest; as a result I "built up walls" and buried all emotions. Listening to music was what made me realize other people struggle with life, too. Ren though, has created an ever-growing army of people that are genuine, positive, and support one another. It's amazing. Some other songs you might like: "Let it be me" and "chalk outlines" by Ren and Chinchilla "One more light" by Linkin Park "Shine" by Lolo "Paralyzed " by NF

Keep grinding Bro

Ready for you ,also by Ren may be nice✌️🙏👍

Shit is shit mate, no matter who you are or what your shit is; it all makes us suffer and there's too much of it about. That's why your channel is so important and you don't need to be anything but what you are. Don't do it for us, we'll watch or not watch but I think strongly suspect that most of us love you because of your honesty about what you perceive as "flaws", they're your greatest strengths (in all life scenarios). Ren has been quietly making his music for years without an audience so we've now got this huge catalogue to explore he created purely for the love of it (hint hint) and there's a hugely valuable lesson it that. Likes can be "shit" for people who let them. Instead he's amassed a community around him from scratch, because he speaks his truth, without fear or favour. That's taught me a lot. Keep going exactly as you are and if not many people like you they shouldn't be watching 😆 Just subscribed to your IG channel, you look like beautiful people who make each other happy, that's it dude..... Job done 👏 Money should only be used to make people happier so I wouldn't waste it on a lavish wedding, looks like you're already on your honeymoon, enjoy it and do it forever. Hope you still do lots of Ren, love your take on him and wish you both success in your goals and happiness, Peace, then Love, Matt 🙏

Thank you for your service, my friend. Be well.

Exactly! We do want to see genuine human and often relatable emotions and reactions. Too many times we're conditioned to hear only scripted responses "Oh, this is something we've never seen before, oh this is so 'different'" and worse yet hear someone refer to Ren as "oh, that guy."

Don't let the dark consume you brother, you're a lot stronger than you give yourself credit for. Watch Rens 1mill subscriber video coz it will totally resonate with you, I promise ❤️

I am enjoying your channel. Cheers to you from California. If you would like to see another uplifting song from a much younger Ren, one of my favorites is, “It’s Alright” from his Freckled Angels album. The song and video are really something special and heart-warming! 💔❤️‍🩹❤️

Hi , I'm from Connecticut in the great US of A. I loved your reaction! Yes , we have all been through shit in our lives. You say fake book, I like that. I just use it for amazing groups like the Ren rabbit hole fan page that this great community called the Renagades resides. I'm gonna go give your Hi Ren reaction a listen, but first I would like to recommend the Love Music series it is 4 different songs just fun and good music.

Just wanted to say hi! I watched and subbed on your first Ren video and im joining you for this one too. Keep going you are doing so well, we are all vulnerable one way or another and thats ok. It is what makes us human.

👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤🙏🙏✌✌

One of my favorites of ren is Humble.

✌️💙

Right now, my health situation (possible Cirrhosis of the liver) may have been misdiagnosed as well as the Autism being mistaken for BPD and Bi-polar depression and put under numerous medications that messed up my body. That relief that right now, I am waiting for an appt with the local liver center and go from there. Troubles especially is very connecting to me now.

💙💙💙💙

Prepare yourself if you dive into the Tale of Jenny and Screech. Be sure to watch the long video, the one with Jenny’s tale first

I also am proud of myself for always being able to stand up again no matter what life threw at me. Please put Power on your Ren To-Do-List :D

If you want to listen to some happier REN songs listen to the 4 Love Music songs.

If you want something not super heavy like this or hi ren, check out his "back on 74/message in a bottle" retake. 😊💜

Check with yourself a year from now i bet you will be shocked...

It would be great for you to react to Sick Boi once the video is released from its copyright hostage situation #freesickboi ;)
