Melanie Safka sings "Do You Believe". She just passed away on Jan. 23rd at the age of 76. Beautiful voice. This is one of my favorite Ren songs.

Mine too. ❤It would be even more sad if it wasn’t 8 years later.

I'm way late on learning about Ren, but he has absolutely consumed my mind. Been stuck scrolling, for a week straight, to anything with him I can find. That being said I like your reactions the best man. Thank you for your guidance through my journey of Ren! Much love man. Thank you

I want to one more thing. Ray brother, the more I get into your reactions the more your opinions make my respect for you grow stronger. You keep hitting home with points on life and struggle that just connect to my soul. You are a very wise man, funny as a mofo too. I can't wait to see what comes next. Once again, Thank you.

Check out his early group. “ Trick the fox “.

❤I just want you to know Ray, that you have definitely helped hundreds of people including me. Your empathy is so genuine. When Ren wrote this he had no idea what an incredible future was in store for him! You and Ren give hope to those who need to hear it. I truly appreciate your love and support for him!❤

Even as an older person who is not hugely into rap, I can appreciate Ren and this song. It makes my heart ache that this young man seems to have been through so much pain and sadness so early in his life. From some of his other songs I have listened to here, he seems to be in a better place. At least I pray that is the case. And Ray - being able to go somewhere deep into the forest, or down by the stream (Oliver Anthony) and just sitting and absorbing the wonders of nature and the miracles visible there can be so magical. Just looking at Creation all around you and absorbing the peace and calmness. Think I'm gonna go do that tomorrow. Love you guys. KP

This is definitely one of my favorites. I absolutely love Do You Believe by Melanie. Ren was genius to use it.

One of my favourites. Thanks for your channel from the deepest south, New Zealand

This track is so underrated by so many. Spot on it’s an absolute classic.

great Ren, great reaction. keep on keepin on! 💗 (and farewell Ms. Melanie 🛼)

Thanks Ray.. yes sadly most of us as Ren fans just discovered Melanie Safka through Ren and she passed away a few days ago.. that could be why it felt familiar or from Wu Tang Clan? But either way it is a great song.. I kind of felt you may have done it too.. but all good.. We love you Ray and you definitely help many.. next song from TBP maybe Heroes or Watch Out.. peace!♥️

Ray, I'm going through exactly what you talked about today and it really hit home with me. I wish I could email you and ask a couple questions, u inspire me so much because you have been where I am now and your light shines so bright. I hope one day I can get there too. You and your channel have done so much, helped so many, and truly changed the world because you have changed the people in it and inspired them. That butterfly effect has already and is still currently spreading around the world - and that's because of you my friend ❤. You're family, your light, your beliefs, your faith, and your personality and experiences are helping save people daily- I'm one of them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

The song/sample (at the beginning) you're trying to remember is "Do You Believe" by Melanie from 1972. Wu-Tang Clan also used it in one of their tracks.

Ren credited Phoniks in the video description. Phoniks produced this beat in 2013, including the Melanie sample, for a remix of the Wu-Tang Clan song "Back in the Game". Here's the track from Phoniks: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hWSA1ct9hbOtirA.html

Iloveu too ray thanku❤❤❤❤

Thank you Ray for your reaction and encouraging words. Sometimes our thoughts can cause us to spiral into a dark place and it's difficult to find a way out. I agree that getting outside and taking a walk can help. I know if I start to feel overwhelmed from being surrounded with negativity I try to get outside to speed walk or run and it helps alot. Just getting outside and feel fresh air for awhile might be very helpful also try to think about what we have to be grateful about in our lives. Thank you Ray for another insightful reaction. ❤

This is really creative. Really true. Great- love it. You're doing it Ray.

Yo Ray! Keep going on Ren our Raycicles! How about: Ren - Street Lights, I think you’ll get a kick out of the lyrics. Get your finest British voice ready 😂 Cheers!

Ray, absolutely love your reactions...

Hey Ray. Great reaction to a great track. Thanks. As for the big push I would love you to react to Heroes David Bowie cover. Filmed during lockdown. Great cover they make it their own.

No drama in our house! Love you Ray!

The human species is screwing itself. Life on the planet will be fine on a geologic time-frame. Species come and go. Ice ages come and go. Asteroid collisions come and go. The biosphere adapts, filling in ecological gaps like flowing water. George Carlin was right. The planet will shake us off like a bad case of fleas, a surface nuisance.

Melanie was 1 of just a few solo female performers at Woodstock.

Yes 😂😂😂so true

Will it be possible to see the reactions afterwards? If not, I will miss your reactions terribly. Or have I misunderstood what you said?
