The thing that stands out the most, with this song. Passion

This song should be part of every school curriculum because of the values it holds in teaching youth about the pitfalls and pressures in society and the insecurities that start at a young age for all genders! I love Ren for writing lyrics and music with substance! Thanks Anthony for your enlightening reactions and your continued support of Ren ❤❤

I imagine, especially in the US, that astroturfed 'grassroots' parents groups, funded by corporate money, would start agitating to shut this down pretty damn quick. The whole idea of advertising is to indoctrinate people into a consumer mindset as young as possible. Anything which threatens to educate children on the dangers of competitive consumption, is dangerous to their bottom line, and must be suppressed. Children, and teens, especially, have the most disposable income of any demographic, and are easy to train in instant gratification and FOMO. When you add the toxic effect of social media 'influencers' and curated Instagram, perfect lives, it's amazing there is not more depression and teen suicide.

Money games should be required too :)

I think that THIS is one of his MORE important songs. Everyone should hear it. Personally, I appreciate the way you do things. You let it play through, showing respect. Then on the second play, you break things down. THAT is when, you become the teacher and I the student. Thank you so much. I have learned A LOT.

I totally agree!!!!

this song is SO underrated and i'm beyond thrilled that you reacted to it!! It's one of my favourite songs of all time, from any artist. It's incredibly powerful, and I think that every single person in the world needs to hear it - society would be a kinder place x [EDIT: i also recommend finding the version of him busking and playing this song - you feel his emotion more strongly in it, it's incredibly powerful]

I always think the reveres tapping you mentions, is the sound real dominos falling make. This is a emotive tune bringing up multiple issues with not just the youth, but with society in general. Ren alway has a story to tell.

I love this tune, considering it's not a recent release, it's amazing how apt it is to the current social climate. Great reaction, bro 👍🏻

I have 2 daughters 1 is 23 2 is 12 Been through all this at a lesser level with 1 But 2 is closing in on 13 & she’s been exposed much more to all of these so called beauty tips & challenges! It’s hard to keep up 10 years after 1 for 2! 1 won’t let 2 fall into the abyss though I’m confident of that! 🤞

Surprised more reactors haven't reacted to this one seeing as it's one of his best

This is such a powerful song 💛

I'm so happy lots of people were mentioning this song. I had no idea. The lyrics are just perfect and so important and I didn't know other people could relate so much. It means a lot because I've been fighting for this topic for years thinking I was crazy alone. Yah and thanks for your video

Ren is a facts teller...song had me in tears for some reason....thanks

I heard this once and it stuck with me: "Selling is getting rid of what you have; marketing is having what you can get rid of." Let's help each other become less persuadable toward what doesn't serve us."

Ren's little video on dealing with "haters" on social media, makes similar points about how we are not made to deal with all the opinions that are incoming on social media to people like him and you. Before sm, artists were pretty much shielded from all that. It came be damaging if you are not able to handle it. A lot to deal with.

Deep song, love these

I absolutely love your reactions, music, and videos. Always walk away, feeling happier

Almost exactly a week before my mom passed unexpectedly (new years eve 2022 just 64 years old) my parents, my teenage son and myself played dominoes and she was crowned ‘world champion’ after winning 3 of 4 games and that when I think of her, that night is what my mind first goes to (not watching her die as we waited for the ambulance) and I wrote her obituary just hours after her death because I needed to do something, anything. I put the dominoes story in it and we had so many mourners that told us that reading her obit they had an even better sense of who she was as a person. I held off listening to this song once I first came across it and while I know it’s not a literal game of dominoes, I couldn’t help making the connection because two nights ago we played dominoes for the first time without her. She fell, hit her head and help arrived too late. It happened in my home. I’m a hospice social worker and I have totally changed my outlook of how I interact with others going through grief. Super long comment I know so I apologize.

This speaks to me…. I have gone through so many issues mentioned. REN is amazing, and he is right. I think everyone should hear this song! Great reaction Anthony thanks!

One of my favorite Ren songs, so true

This is one of my favourite Ren tracks and everyone should hear it and start to really understand what is happening to us all and how we just let it happen and perpetuate it. This is why Ren is so important... He writes this in a way we can all empathise with. He also does it without pointing fingers directly (because everyone even the influencers are victims too. The community and movement that is coming up due to Rens music, the "education" and connections he has made in the industry and beyond that he is also supporting and bringing up with him, is proof of what we can all do for each other... I was starting to think that society was just f*cked... But now and especially through the reaction videos too, I can see we do have hope, as long as we all take this onboard and pass the love and support forward.... There ARE more of us out there, we just need to all demonstrate that, even if it's just one small thing a day ❤

Love your reactions mate, and the respect you pay the material and artist. You deserve ALL the subscribes!

Such an important conversation.

I like how the line ‘for the first time in her life, she felt ugly’ breaks the rhyme scheme. Word painting.

Talent shows. "The only thing real about them is the art," you said. True... a contestant comes on stage; their most emotional story is drawn out of them; and the trajectory of their future performances is a glitzed-up look, the accompaniment of flashy backgrounds, choruses and dancers, and singer-battles. I assume the winner will forfeit autonomy to support the music industry. But I once saw a contestant resist all that, week after week. It was herself and her guitar and Bob Marley songs, which was just as well, because Bob Marley wasn't much in vogue in that arena. But she did provoke thought and she did leave an impression on many people. That's what we need more of.

I do the same thing. Every song i hear is my new favorite song lol. Sadly since i first heard ren through his first band Trick The Fox. Before big push. I have long since heard every one of his songs. Over and over. But they dont get old

I love the Freckled Angels album, I play it all the time ❤

I believe this may be his best with important message. He always delivers what is important.

Halfway through your reactions I was startled to realize how fortuitous it was that I connected with you and Ren this way. My self-therapy, journal and joy is writing poerms and I'm continually surprised how varied they can be. Today's was written just before coming here and relates to some of the things you said: SOUNDS RIGHT I remember him he was a scientist philosopher success counselor and or whatever I remember him saying and I paraphrase people die they die and of what of what do they die in this day and age at whatever age they die at? they die of complexity * * *

lol, "Wind's howling" ...I was cutting down an endrega warrior on The Witcher 3 as you said that! Amazing reaction man, I love your videos, keep up the good work!

Anthony just heard your last two new songs and absolutely love them, as the reaction to this song and any song you react to, because you are always true to yourself and that makes a reaction even more valuable, because it is authentic. Very interesting as well the topic brought about being young and kids just picking on your different features, it's 100% real, you just want to be the less different you can to others, and man, when you grow up and come to terms with your uniqueness, at least in my case, I feel proud for every feature (physical or intelectual) that makes me different to the common maintstream group/matrix or whatever we want to call it, that they want us to conform to. Keep rocking man, loving your music releases

Deep and so very important!❤

We need an Insomnia reaction or Crutch.. by REN of course. All older songs, but so beautiful.

I love this song so much.

A target rating point (abbreviated as TRP; also television rating point for televisions) is a metric used in marketing and advertising to compare target audience impressions of a campaign or advertisement through a communication medium relative to the target audience population size.

Love your reaction!

anthony i love your break downs and views. keep doing the great reactions and making your sick music.

Simply glad that you decided to spend time with this song . Also so thank you for sharing your personal feelings, and stories in regards to the lyrics.

Wow. This is such a meaningful song. amazing. Thanks for a great reaction😊

One of his best songs , really ! The problem is all his songs are best songs , but we will deal with it.

Yes SUBSTANCE. I'm gobsmacked that is came out 4 years ago - But ANY time this message gets out is the Right Time. Ren has a Huge HEART. Once again he uses his platform and reach for important social commentary. He's determined to tell it like it IS - and Make a DIFFERENCE! I want ALL Schools ( and Shopping Malls! ) to play this on continuous loop! Kids HAVE to learn, and then to to apply, some critical analysis and have peer groups who spread these messages. Not to be just open 'Social Media Sponges'. To build the understanding that these Social Media images of the so called 'Ideal' are manufactured - Not REAL. That NOBODY is groomed within an inch of their lives, and always 'up and happy'. That so many of these are photoshopped or otherwise 'filtered'. NOONE is perfect or has a perfect life! We need a targeted "GET REAL!" campaign. Starting in the last couple of years of Primary school - at least! We also need to educate ALL our kids - and our girls in particular -but also our boys - about what 'Objectification' is, and what being 'Sexualised' is about. How this has come out of the porn industry and has nothing to do with the inner person. nor real respectful caring reciprocal relationships. How damaging and distorted these images are. How TOXIC to relationships- to self esteem. Toxic to individuals and to society. Keep up YOUR good work too. 😊❤

I think this has been the best reaction video I've seen in a long time because of the themes you bring up and talk about Anthony. Thanks ❤ You are completely right. I can certainly identify with many of the things you are saying. I'm not built for it, or at least I don't have the energy to deal with everything I'm bombarded with on a daily basis. About 1 year ago I stopped watching TV, I rarely log into my Facebook and am now at a point where I am considering shutting it down completely. I only use my Instagram to follow talented artists - people who really KNOW ore CAN something I admire. I have become much, much happier since making those changes in my life.

This song is one of my fav by Ren and I just love the message, he speak so much truth on it. I wish more people listened to it because it's brilliant. Thanks for your reaction!

Even a simple song holds a complicated message when written by Ren.

My fave tune ❤🌹

Awesome breakdown brother. Right on the money

Such an important message in this one! Great reaction.

I love your wisdom. ❤ self preservation, internal dialogue, self awareness ❤ I love the boundaries your setting ❤

Someone may have already answered this, but, "The TRP or Target Rating Point is the metric used by the marketing and advertising agencies to evaluate this viewership. TRP or Television Rating Point is the tool to judge which programs are watched the most and to index the viewers' choices."

❤Ren x Thanks Anthony

Plasticine is modeling clay = infinitely moldable. TRP is Target Rating Point = advertising aimed at a specific audience to maximize sells.

Love this one too! So powerful!

Thanks for this. I’d forgotten just how hard this one hits. ❤

Anthony this warrants way more views 👏👏👏👍

Great breakdown

Great reaction, man!

My favorite ren song. Love it.

You are one of the best motivational speaker. ❤

A great reaction as always dude! You are right about parents keeping an eye on their kids and what they consuming on social media, but these issues affect the parents as well so the first step in that is to get control of our own consumption as well haha. These last 10-15 years of social media have affected us all in ways that this song portrays, and it's only in the last few years people are realising this as mental health issues have increased. Ren has once again highlighted an issue that affects us all and makes us think

I really like your dive into this. I too have had issues keeping weight on; people focus on those trying to lose, but not being able to maintain a healthy balance is a challenge on both sides. This "You gotta have this" philosophy is what the entire advertising and marketing industry is about. "If you haven't got a shell then you're just a f*cking wasteman." Dude, I watch reactions to watch you REACT to the song. I will never bitch about you pausing the video. It still boggles me how many people don't want to like, hear your comments and opinions, when they come here for that.

Very meaningful lyrics thanks for your reaction ❤

Definitely one of my favorites .❤😊

Ren has got me back into playing music !! Playing guitar for decades & lost the fresh need to play ! Nobody i have heard plays guitar sings & raps solo live acoustic ! So clean Bro Ren

Awesome

I take the sound to be dominoes falling when you line them all up next to each other.

Love your style Anthony...i see insecuri-teeth as referring to having 'imperfect' teeth.

I love this ❤song love them all.

Hello geezer I enjoy your reactions and view points, stay KoOl brother

Just think if Ren wouldn't of gotten sick so many years ago,how many lives Ren would of saved or touched, so many people and teenagers can Benefit from his beautiful and Kind Heart

Powerful song.

Great reaction. I love your style ❤ Ren hits another important topic. I hope it can help make a change. I've dealt with weight issues my entire life. I get positive comments when I loose weight, but the catch is that I only loose weight when my mental health is spiraling. So the worse I feel the more validation I receive. 😢

One of my favourite Ren songs which tends to fall under the radar. The tapping in the first verse to me is someone typing on a computer keyboard. To me it's another way of Ren highlighting what affects teenagers nowadays 'cyberbullying', plus most of the things that they watch are online (beauty tips, influences, etc...). That's my take on it at least.

"Another domino it falls..." was a direct reference to this song. I've said it before, but Ren put his friend Joe in the middle of his music with that dedication, at the heart of everything he does.

Perhaps already said, but I believe the sound you are hearing are dominoes actually falling. They’re clicking sounds as they touch one another.

Read "The Nymphetamine Girls". How 'privelage', total freedom, and outside validation from social media can become life-threatening. One of the best books about the dangers of hiding behind money and outside validation with no self-love.

Ren is so astute as we all know by now as we go down the rabbit hole , and great breakdown & reaction....

We really need Love Music 3 ❣️❣️❣️

❤❤❤

You still need to do Sweet little lady LIVE ACOUSTIC version!

Nice reaction! Whatever happened with your reaction to “Love Music Pt. 3”? If you can, check out “Jessica ft. Orlean”, an often missed Ren track.

Danke!

This song is also one on Ren's favourites himself.

ohh look a skincare ad for "wonderskin" right before this video

Upchurch's new album Blue Genes is straight 🔥🔥💯🥵. Gotta hop on it soon. Don't sleep.

Body's are just a way to get your soul around so it doesn't matter what it looks like. Just be kind people. We're not here long so why make it awfull. Live people it's not a practice it's only a short while. Love everyone. That's my oppinion .❤❤and I think the world would be happier.

That's why religions start at a young age, cause it is easier to form the mind.

He flags up a very serious problem among youngsters. Beautifully put together.

Hi Ray!

It's falling dominoes that you can hear.

✌️

😮

Here we go 😅 i personally love this song😅

Very Interesting !! You must not have heard of PUTRI ARIANI who has literally takin the Internet by Storm for the past few weeks now.

The tapping sound is (imo) supposed to represent falling dominoes.

😊

Renism, ✌️

Isn't the sound effect at the beging of the song just Dominoes falling on a table and being recorded?

Top tune ren exposing our fragile nature again! Renegade uk

100% you do you Anthony my man…. If they want to complain then can they not just search for the content WITHOUT a reaction!!?i want to hear your thoughts on this track, that’s WHY I’m here…. People man 😂

Ren making music, when much younger. So talented, and talented friends. This is fabulous, kzread.info/dash/bejne/rImTqdCDlLfFds4.html Who is Orlean? I can't find more about him. Orlean has a great singing voice.
