I went down the Ren rabbit hole more than a year ago. It is deep and fun and serious, all at the same time. I think Ren is going to be a generational talent. You should explore further. Try “Losing It” for a Ren song completely different in tone.

I've always taken this song as commentary-- not on mental illness, not on an artist's struggle, but commentary on what it is to be human. We ALL can relate to having that negative voice in his or her head. What? you don't think it's good to get in people's head? I think that's the essence of true art: it makes you think, it makes you feel! Please, MORE REN!

@jessibankston2441 25 күн бұрын

I totally respect how you guys feel about this. He intentionally reaches into the mental space and emotions of those who watch. For some, it is downing and hard. For some, it's cathartic. For me personally, as someone who deals with strong, "chronic"mental health issues, this performance is so validating. It addresses self- doubt, imposter syndrome, and in general that negativity that we as people deal with daily (some more/stronger than others). From my understanding, he isn't religious, but he uses wording because it helps some people connect to the feelings, the thoughts, the struggle... because we all see these struggles differently. From exploring his other "personal struggle" music, not only is he doing this for him, but it is also reaching and helping so many. He also has a lot of music that isn't based on his personal struggle and is more hip-hop or rap. It's worth looking into more of his catalog, for sure.

@jessibankston2441 25 күн бұрын

If you have any interest in looking into more of his work, I would be happy to give you some insight (without ruining them) into what I have heard, so you have a better idea of what route you want to take because he does have a wide range. Just an offer.

😂 I’ve heard this song over 1000 times over this last year and a half. It’s a masterpiece imo. He has some deep songs, but he has a lot of other songs that aren’t. You can’t put Ren in a box. He does multi-genres and plays multiple instruments 🎹 🥁 🎸 This is the song that sent me down a rabbit hole that I still haven’t come out of. And I have no desire to leave.

@francesdoll4039 25 күн бұрын

Interesting for me to see what angle you came at this from. The monologue at the end was Ren being totally transparent and authentic. There are millions of people who are struggling through not only mental health issues but also chronic health issues. They have been beaten down and discounted by society and the medical community. Ren was house bound and bedridden for 7 years before finding the correct diagnosis. By listening to his struggles many feel seen and heard. He is, in this song showing us everything and allowing himself to " stand in the fire and inspire the meek to be strong." That is what all the hype is about. If that is too heavy for you, maybe watch Murderer and the acoustic version of that. Two very different vibes and both excellent rapping. BTW: Don't know how old you are bur Ren us now 34 years old and his 2nd album Sick Boi, was #1 in the Uk last Oct.and his video Money Game 3 has won several internaional music video awards.

Ren is a multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter/rapper, poet, storyteller, actor, director. produces his own beats and all these attributes are self taught. Not everything he does is this heavy or "Artsy" but everything he performs is captivating, entertaining and he can't be put into a single genre, he bends and blends them at will and always successfully. The rabbit hole is deep, entertaining and utterly rewarding. As an independent artist yourself you knows the struggles of the industry but Ren is a master at building his audience without the trappings of a label, so much so that his last album "Sick Boi" went #1 on the official UK charts. His band "The Big Push" has many original releases that you'd find more your speed and much of his earlier solo work as well. His next album is more melodic and less rap, unlike Sick Boi which was more rap then melodic. Hope you and your wife decide to explore more of his genius work. Cheers🍻.

I have listened to this song a lot. It touches the center of what it is to be human and a way to navigate the pitfalls and also give grace to others who are struggling.

Ren does his videos live in one take. I watched him receive the news that his album was No.1 in the UK last winter. I also loved watching you do all the Queen reactions, and hope that you will do some more: Hint: Innuendo album, Barcelona album videos.

Nice commentary, folks. I suggest you watch 'Sick Boi' next. Just so you know, Ren is agnostic; he states this emphatically in 'Eden'. The verbal imagery of the devil and angel are just that. I find the reference to be appealling since he really mentions 'Temptation' and 'Hope' specifically. Our demons are internal; our hope is internal. His final lines are a reference to us being human and not gods. But the way Ren structures the lyrics appeals to those on both sides of belief. The objective is for us individually to realize that balance is the key to success. Balance your hopes and dreams against the harsh reality of life, but never stop hoping or dreaming.

Imagine being in so much pain that you cannot even stand up. For years. Now imagine being in a psychotic state because you can no longer stand the pain. That vicious inner voice is dramatically amplified, and much more sinister than we would experience.

@@JustinPanarielloi would think that would always be true..in more than music as well! There is an intersection of talent and skill/ balls to put it out there/ and the luck of having it seen by the right people. Ren started guitar at 10,producing at 12 and rapping and singing soon after that . HE LOST A DEAL WITH Sony at 20 due to his illness and came back independent with a small group of loyal friends and fans.

I am still watching your reaction, He is a lyrical genius and has a tragic story. I post this small explanation should give you a little incite. A lot of his music deals with his past illness. He is very very intelligent and pretty much a regular bloke in his vernacular.. LOL Ren has been through some nasty shit, I copied this and post it on new reactors messages. He was bitten by a tick when he was 16 or 17 He got really sick from it and went to doctors and they could not figure what was wrong with him. When he had joint pain, muscle spasms, skin rashes, boils, internal organs started shutting down, And Doctors had no idea what was going on. He was loosing weight and had constant fatigue could not even stand to shower.. Doctors started sending him to psychological evaluations, They told him his mind was making him sick ! And started treating him for that with some heavy pharmaceuticals. And all that shit really fucked with his mind, He started believing he was crazy. And this went on for 8 fucking years !! 8 YEARS !! He pursued his own symptoms and lead to a Doctor that gave test for Lyme disease. Where he lived it was very rear to ever contract Lyme disease so he was never tested. When he went in described his symptoms the Doctor knew what he had. Ran the DNA test and found it in his system. However it has been in there for 8 years and has done a lot of damage to his body. He can only eat like 6 things his bones still hurt and the autoimmunity may never be healed. He had to go into surgery to remove tissue to generate stem cells grown outside his body then under go treatment taking the stem cells to help with the autoimmunity and help heal his deterioration of muscle, and a very aggressive antibiotics regiment to cure the Lyme disease chromosome. That was in LA then he went to Calgary and under going treatment on the damage the Lyme left.. He is still there until June. Welcome to Ren he is a talent I have never seen. And I have seen a LOT !! He has 209 songs on u tube no joke I pretty much like them all new and old !! His older lyrical videos are great try, every

Yes, over thinking, self doubt. I am creative and like to design things. I don't always like to share because of my doubt, will they like it, would they buy it? stuff like that. It finally dawned on me, I do it because I love doing it, and I love what I am making even with the voices in my head that might call me stupid or lazy, or lacking this or that skill. It can be a battle. On TOP of all that, I do have some health issues that hold me back from more than I am capable of. Heart failure for one, and slow vision loss, chronic pain are huge factors. Every day that I feel good and want to work on something, I get that nasty voice telling me so slow down and relax, it will get done, maybe not perfect but it will be done.

I recomend you Sick Boy Also, believe me, you will have to get used to it if you continue reacting to Ren since he will play very heavy songs, not always but often that is how his songs are, without further ado to say welcome to the world of Ren

Not hating but im pretty sure you didn't understand what you just watched. You babbled about nothing really and to say the ending was a diatribe was totally baffling.

Everyone connects with this. No just artist steuggke. It represents the factual human condition. We are neither just good or just evil but of the animal kingdom and exist in a constant flux of that battle. Good luck to you both but as a Dr. Of Philosophy I don't get people who don't get these fundamental truths. ❤

I’m not sure you really got it…? At least all the talking afterwards about artists and overthinking vs just doing seemed like a strange thing to fixate on. Not sure if you were talking about Ren or he just inspired a conversation about things in general? Also how old are you/the husband? Maybe I misinterpreted what you intended to say, but it sounded a little like “I have more life experience so I know that Ren should just stop being so in his head”. Firstly, Ren isn’t a kid. He’s 34. Secondly, he has been through HELL and gained a lot of life experience and wisdom, so he most definitely knows what he’s talking about. Which leads me to the other thing I wanted to say… you/the wife saying the song brings you down definitely makes me thing it went a little over your head or that you are lucky enough to never have had to struggle enough to recognise what Ren is trying to say. This song is about human nature, acceptance, and hope. Ren is an inspiration and has literally saved lives with this masterpiece. Oh well, Ren isn’t for everybody and that’s fine. Just unfortunate that you seemed to miss the message. Glad you at least checked it out cause everyone deserves the chance to let Ren into their lives ❤🐰🕳️

Does "overthinking" mean deep thought? I don't think "overthinking" is a bad thing and it's much better than "underthinking". Especially when answers aren't easy to come by yet have the power to release you from real angst in your life. Food for thought anyway so thx for the reaction.

Overthinking causing paralysis. Inaction. Spinning you in a circle. Or thinking so much in a circle you find a way to justify your biases which may or may not be accurate. That's what I mean or am talking about regarding overthinking.

I suggest you you check out his other stuff, then maybe come back to this. Also, perhaps read what people say that relate to the struggle of mental illness. It may give you a bit of insight on the things that make you uncomfortable. Just a gentle suggestion.

@xarexes7070 20 күн бұрын

Maybe Ren really isn't for you. Every Ren song I've heard has been different than expected and a surprise. The boy has as many facets as a sequin suit, but let me tell you something: I stopped three times during Hi-Ren and had to sort through my many thoughts before I had the courage to continue listening. The play explained the illness of paranoia far too realistically for me. It really affected me. I had to process that first and I consumed Ren with much more caution. I think it's crass that you didn't even stop and talk about what you'd heard. There are two of you, I wouldn't have been able to. It would have been more interesting, by the way, because I've heard the song 100+ times by now and I can see the reactions to it. Almost every Renegade knows Hi-Ren the first time. If you want to give Ren another chance, check out "The big Push", it's about music, soul and having fun with these elements. I think the "Bongo Bong" cover is great, although the "I shot the sherrif/ Road to Zion / HipHop" medley is probably more impressive.
