Your comment means so much ❤ Thank you for saying such kind words. I needed to hear this.

Thank you for such an honest reaction. This song is so hard. You didn't need to say anything more at the end to express how you felt, it showed.

Thanks for sharing yourself with us in this space. I was expressing words of comfort and encouragement to you, as you listened to it. I think we're all left with few words, and so much to be present with inside each of us...and so much respect for what Ren has gifted the world with his honesty and vulnerability. Sending you much love. May we continue to lift one another.

Rens slowly peeling back the layers.. he's capable of reaching the very depths of the soul.

Appreciate the raw, honest reaction...sending love. I lost my brother to suicide, never saw any warning signs either. There really doesnt need to be words after a video like that...thats why I love Ren; he says so many things that so many of us have a hard time finding words for.

One of my best mates... 10 metres away... I didn't hear a fking thing. You never forgive yourself ... But you learn to cope... It's been 8 years. Had a hit just over a year ago there the friend who talked me out of the same when I was younger passed away unexpectedly. (passed out and hit his head).... Oversharing now... but I don't have many close close friends... I feel kinda alone a lot of the time.... Just taking each day at a time and trying to appreciate things for the both of them.... sorry to dump on your post.. Thank you for sharing your story

More than the subject matter, this is what happens after. Suicide doesn't end with their death. It ripples. Always. My best friend did this in middle school. I'm almost 50 and it's never left. It's only morphed. 😢 May this song, in true Ren fashion, continue to bring us together, to hold each other and uplift each other.

I love your heart. Because you HAVE one. I cried when I watched this; right along with Ren. I’ve seen reactors respond to this heart wrenching video and absolutely no feelings whatsoever. Oh, maybe a casual, “Wow, man. That was deep”. And I think to myself, “is your heart made of freaking cement”? I am sorry that this video took you to a sad place personally. I don’t care if you have a commentary. Sometimes you just feel a song. That’s all. Much love ❤️

Somehow, he finds ways to cut open our deepest pains and make them beautiful, even while we're sobbing.

I'm truly sorry for your loss, brother. What you do matters and you're loved. Thank you.

Wow... Your reaction was so heart felt and powerful. Hugs Bro. I think we all share your pain. This was a beautiful and somber master peice from Ren.

Glad you are part of the Ren family.❤

Real men show there emotions. Respect bro. Ren is next level AMAZING.

Ren reminds us of our humanity, our fragility, our capacity for something way deeper than our normal-everyday sugar-coated performances reveal. The sadness is because of our ability to to love. All of us are affected, all of us are present and all of us are being reflected back to ourselves through Ren's art. I thought Hi Ren was his Magnum Opus, maybe not. Quite the talent.

The chorus is so catchy Ren doesn’t just get people talking about suicide but singing it 😅 The ending though… Adding it really completed this song but it also made it utterly heart wrenching 😢 Beautiful art.

You are a big man with an equally big heart. Thank you for your raw and honest reaction. Peace to you brother

Watching and listening to REN is a tough journey. Everything he does is so relatable and personal. Hits home hard. REN is special and very precious. Thank you REN., and thank you.

Knowing your story, before even watching your reaction, this was really brave of you to do. Thank you.

I bawled my eyes out to this. But you know what it felt good to release some of that deep stored trauma I didn't know I was holding on to. Big love to you and everyone listening ❤️

Your silence at the end hid a deep well of pain. There cannot be an adult human being alive who has not felt at least some of that pain. Ren is cleansing wounds with his music. I hope whatever surfaced for you is part of a healing process. Love and respect from Scotland, over an ocean away, but right next door.

What is amazing is how vulnerable Ren was at when he wrote this and created this video plus currently releasing to it all of us. 2nd is Ren’s loss of his childhood when he lost his innocence and feeling of immortality. He reminds me of the Maestro Tuomas Holopainen who composed most of Nightwish songs, poetry in his lyrics, and music. One theme Tuomas has is Dead Boy meaning a loss of childhood. Finally, while emphasizing the pain Ren’s friend Joe was going through also showing how hurt he was by the choice his friend Joe made along with the guilt of just possibly missing getting to Joe in time to save him or even to say goodbye plus Joe’s body was never found for closure. In other words, the choices one makes affects more then oneself. Let the River run for your brother.

nothing but love coming from this end!! sending a big hug! we are the casualties left in the wake of their pain so much love with nowhere to go. thank you for being real

All we can do really is to thank Ren for the raw honesty and pray it helps many to realise the hurt and give many a reason to live. Peace and Love.

Everyone, all reactors were struck silent last night after watching this last night, tears rolling down our faces. It's like the world was Joe's pal too. We love Ren so much, thank you Ren, spread his voice and subscribe ❤❤❤

Ren's songs don't have shock value. i know because i've watched this 10 times in 10 different reaction videos and i've cried just as hard every single time. maybe ever harder than before each time. it's not surface level, it's the genuine, human experience. it doesn't hit close to home, it hits you straight in the face, the stomach, the head, the heart. Ren transferred a small part of his pain to each person who listened and watched; each person who shared this experience with us. the weight of his burden is has been split a hundred thousand ways and shared equally by us all.

For Ren and everyone who is hurting, my heart goes out to you! I wish you all gentle days ahead❤❤❤

This one hits hard. Thank you for sharing. Losses like that cut deep into your soul 😿 I pray for peace and comfort that passes all understanding 🙏🏻 Ren only recently started talking about Joe and the events of the final days. It was actually when he talked about Joe in the Knox Hill interview that he felt inspired to add the final part to the song. It had always felt incomplete, but he was finally ready to confront the loss and regret that he felt. He blames himself for not getting to the bridge in time. But hopefully this will be a step towards healing and closure. It’s been amazing seeing the impact this song has had already. So many people opening up and connecting. But I know sometimes those wounds are too painful to open. So if you need someone to talk to, please reach out.

This song makes it so visible how much pain is going around but also how much love and support we are capable of sharing with others 🖤 The world needs more love

Feel you bro. Experienced the suicide of my younger brother. Difficult healing for some. Took me 25 years to accept and make peace. Thank you for your reaction!

Ren just says that we can hear, be open and deal with things, even a small part. He is a powerful, real and so talented. ‘Our inner demons v Our inner strength’

Ren's music is a blessing for us all, it gives us an opportunity to stand before the things that really fucking hurt. Most of the time this opportunity to face the pain comes during the worst possible moment. Everything deserves the right amount of thought so we can get through the pain and achieve balance and peace within ourselves. I hope you find your peace.

Thank you for this reaction. I've been so lucky in some ways, nobody I have known has committed suicide. But I have several brave friends who have had to deal with that grief. I wish I knew how to comfort those who have suffered this great loss. Hug your loved ones close. You never know what is going on. So many want to tear down in this world of hate and pain. I hope, for what it is worth, the love of this community lifts you up on this painful day.

The hurt we feel reminds us love is real.

I'm so sorry for your loss and thank you for being willing to put yourself out there in these reactions - it really can help to break down the taboos that keep difficult subjects hidden☮

Why do I keep watching reactions to this song, that last verse breaks me every time Ren truly making me believe & happy I failed my suicide attempt a couple years back

Humble reaction ❤ I think we all went there my friend ❤

I think when we watch a reaction of this kind of song, we aren't looking for an intelligent bar break down or an analysis, but for someone to show us there humanity and feeling just like we felt. So thankyou for sharing your feeling and truthfulness with us just like Ren did. Feeling those out there who've been through it too helps us to heal. Peace and love to all those who've lost someone.

Thank you for being willing to sit with this. Thank you for letting us sit with you for a little while. It's hard. All love.

Sending you shared love brother, many are sharing tears and contemplating. Always enjoy hearing you sing, like you did at the start of this Ren tune.💛🌎

Ren is dope. The poem was dope. And thank you for letting us share that journey with you.

respect

Songs like that put me in a mood I don't want to be but NEED to be ... thank you Ren and thank you for your reaction ...

God bless you and your family for your loss. REN certainly brings so much feelings front and forward 💔💔

So so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story too.

Loved you singing with him, He's not alone, you're not alone. Honestly, most beautiful reaction I've seen.

What you just shown is brave, man. You kinda act like me when I get emotional... no hysterics, no drama, but an underlying pain visible none the less. You know if you break then the floodgates are open, and so you fight back the tears. Takes strength to do that.

Chill my guy. I think we all have a story. I had a friend that left us when he was just 24.... I myself am a 3 time survive of su1cide attempts. I now know the secret... of life. Out of all the ways your parents DNA could have combined in just the right way to make YOU. YOU won the existence lotto... now what are YOU going yo do with it. Every breath is a gift. Peace, love, and empathy to all reading this.

I commend you for giving an unfiltered/unedited TRUE reaction my brother

You can't stop re-thinking what could have been done differently.. And it`s not a choice.. Its just there all the time.. What if.. Great reaction.. Shit i love Ren

Your silence speaks volumes brother! Love and peace to you. ❤️🙏❤️

RIP Joe Hughes ❤ Here are the Lyrics if anyone wants them **** *************** Oh I, Oh I, Oh I've fallen through the cracks of the night sky A light goes out on the other side, suicide, suicide, suicide Oh I, Oh I, Oh I'm treading on the tracks in the night time It never really felt like the right time suicide, suicide, suicide I'm so fucking lonely beneath this, narcissistic, cant keep a secret, miscount sheep, I can't sleep, a misfit Some say troubled, but some say sadistic, Bruises my brother, one time or the other, my skin felt counterfeit, silicone, rubber Bruises my sister, skin pop the blister dig deep resist the feeling when it hits you Oh I, Oh I, Oh I've fallen through the cracks of the night sky A light goes out on the other side, suicide, suicide, suicide Oh I, Oh I, Oh I'm treding on the tracks in the night time It never really felt like the right time suicide, suicide, suicide [sample] Sick boi, sick boi, bitten by a tick boi I feel like its not me its the world thats sick I'm so fucking washed up and sea sick masochistic kid with a split lip six feet deep I can't eat im nervous won't stay down 'cause my body purges useless my mother, cant keep in my supper skin so pale 'cause my cheeks leak colour Truth is my father, you choose your karma draw for the sword then drive through the armour Oh I, Oh I, Oh I've fallen through the cracks of the night sky A light goes out on the other side, suicide, suicide, suidice Oh I, Oh I, Oh I'm treding on the tracks in the night time It never really felt like the right time suicide, suicide, suicide Suicide suicide suicide Suicide suicide suicide Suicide suicide suicide Suicide suicide suicide It's hard to take off from the ground when your wings are cut, Your stomach burns when you're drinking from an empty cup, You know the entire ocean came from my tear ducts? I see the world through fibonacci sequences and Double Dutch I guess there’s some that’s born lucky, there’s some that’s not I tried to cut away my bitterness - hatchet job I locked my youth in a trunk inside a pick up truck Then dumped the whole thing over the same bridge the night you jumped I think about that sometimes , vividly What it felt like to look down and see tranquility One sudden movement in a world of possibility Only one movement to expose our fragility I fucking miss you and I miss myself I miss thinking that were indestructible as well I miss chilling by the pier cave and kicking back Wirth Callum, Hugo, Sagar, Justin, Stevie and the fuckin lads I miss missing that, I numbed myself to close the gap, I never even call em up the distance is my plaster cast, The truth is that the day you jumped my childhood jumped too, But I still can’t find the anger all I find is missing you Man I miss you, with all my rhymes I picture running 5 minutes quicker, I'm right on time I picture pulling you back over the edge and then were crying And holding you my brother and telling you that it's fine that’s not the way that I worked Coz I was late like a jerk There's not a day where I could find a way to break from the hurt Your body missing so we never got to wave to the hearse I hope your listening , I love you man, I miss you absurd Fuck

Take care of yourself, sharing your humanity is a blessing, for us all. It also helps normalise talking about a very difficult subject and makes it easier for others to reach out.

Stay strong dude, it's not weakness to show your emotions like this, it's a strength and with male suicides at record highs it's songs like this and reaction videos like this, and all the comments as well that show that hiding our emotions behind that 'male wall' doesn't help and that speaking about it will help save other lives. I thought Hi Ren was emotional, but this is equally so!! Ren hits the topics other artists could never touch!!!

I'm 39 years old. Primarily into majority of metal music but babble in other genres too. In my entire life of listening to music, I have never heard anything that could make me cry like this song did, ever. Your response was so honest and understandable, especially with how close to home it is. Ren has this ability to bring you into his world with a very infectious beat, and then hit you in the feels. Its really beautiful and amazing as its got many people talking and opening up. Ita amazing.

Your silence after the music, says more than any words

My heart breaks for you, man. Love from afar. Thank you for sharing. That was a beautiful reaction. The pain needs to be heard and felt.

As someone who is chronically suicidal, I don't know how to thank you - for being brave enough to cover this immensely important song, but most of all for your vulnerability, your realness. So many people can't even say the word or flinch uncomfortably when they hear it. If we can't say the word "suicide" we can't have a conversation about it and if we can't can't have that difficult conversation, we can't put a stop to this epidemic. My hearts aches for you and your loss. Sending gratitude, peace, and love.

Ren is making it ok to feel and be human again. Time for us to unite and push back against the forces that tell us to bury these thoughts and feelings (heck - can't even put the word in the video -instead it's all "su!cide" or su*cide" - c'mon). Empathy needs a rebirth and Ren along with other artists are showing us the way. Lead on, Ren, lead on!

For those of us that have life experiences, it takes us all back to "stuff", some stuff that we thought we had dealt with, stuff that we thought was done, but his vividness snaps us back like it was yesterday. Good reaction. My warmth is sent to you.

It hurts. Thanks for sharing.

I keep coming back here for this. I've listened to this song 6 times, and 6 times i've cried. I think the fact that you're clearly in so much pain too makes me not feel quite so alone in this grief that nobody wants to go near. But when you're in it, you can't escape. I'm right there with you, friend. I'm with you on this.

Beautiful reaction to a beautifully put together memory song by a beautiful soul, keep up the great reactions ❤ from London 🇮🇪🇮🇪 🇺🇸🇺🇸 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I think one of the most important things I've been reminded of with this song is how much EVERYONE has been impacted by loss. It's so universal. We need to remember that we all hurt. Great reaction, thank you for sharing some of yourself with this.

First time finding your reactions. I love the insight you have and the respect you give to the art and artist. I'm so sorry for your loss ❤

Beautiful and honest reaction bro.

I think this was the most realistic reaction to this video I have seen yet. No rambling or phony philosopher, just quite contemplation for at least a minute as you reflected on the song. Big love, man

Truly great reaction..your silence spoke so loudly ❤

Much love to you Sir, this is heavy stuff and your reaction was beautifully raw and honest. X

We're here with you, brother. This is such an important conversation to share, with the silences being just as important as the words exchanged. May your lost loved one be at peace.

Thank you so much for having the courage to be vulnerable with us.

Thank you for your personal bravery to react to a song/artist/topic that is so personal for you. I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for still posting your reaction, with all the heaviness you felt. It really speaks to me.

Love your reactions. Your passion for music shines bright. And always an informed, honest and heartfelt view. Thank you for what I've had the pleasure to watch so far and in advance for what follows.

This gets nearly everyone, brother. Thank you for sharing yourself with this reaction. I’m 50 years old and it got me too. Love to you. We’re all human.

This song hurts down to the core. I lost my previous boyfriend to suicide just a few years ago, and so I empathise with him on such a deep level. People need to know that this is what it looks like when someone you love commits suicide. THIS is how much you matter.

That was very brave to leave the camera rolling as long as you did, and be vulnerable for us, don't ever be ashamed of your emotions brother, it's what makes us human, it's what connects us whether we're miles or oceans apart. I know this one was hard to edit, so if you just want to pin this, I got your back.... For everyone in the U.S., last fall the federal government finally did something halfway good, and created a national life crisis/suicide hotline. Similar to 911 for physical emergencies, the life crises/suicide hotline number is just three digits also - 988 - and you will be immediately connected to a mental health care professional, who will be able to help you, and this can be completely anonymous, you will not be put on any secret list and no one will show up at your house and take you away, simply a calm voice on the other end of the line that can relate to what you are going through. On a personal note, from a long career as a paramedic, if you have a friend in trouble who has attempted the act, or is medically in trouble for any reason, NEVER be afraid to call 911, I don't care if there's drugs, hookers, whatever, they changed the laws several years ago, and you can not be arrested or charged for anything the police see when they respond with EMS for a health emergency, and they aren't allowed to search for anything not relevant to the patients well being. They didn't seem to announce it or promote it too heavily so please pass the new number along every chance you get, again it's - 988 - if you forget it, and/or still have the old 10digit number on speed dial, IT STILL WORKS, it will automatically connect to the new life crisis/suicide center. If you have other questions or need further info, here is the website to the new hotline, take care of yourselves and take care of one n other, I see you! 988lifeline.org/

I'm so sorry for your loss of your best friend, your little brother. Sending you lots of love. Saludos desde Valencia España ✌️

You didnt need words mate, one of the best reviews i have seen of this song! New subscriber here as you reactions were genuine and heart felt, pretty much how we all feel when watching this!

One friend a year ago, another 6 months ago. Never seen it coming in either one. Getting over the pain of the first was in the works and then happening again erased that progress. Now I don't question why I just remember all the things good and bad about each and watch others alot closer these days. Sorry about your brother and thanks for being real. Have a great day and better tomorrow.

Thank you for always being so genuine with your reactions.

We never met but I love you my brother. And anyone else that reads this I love you too. We've all been blessed and cursed with fellings and emotions and we're all trying to figure out what this existence we were involuntarily thrown into really means. A bunch of imperfect beings on a spinning ball of mud circling a star as we hurdle through space. Be kind to one another and most importantly be kind to yourself.

I watched this reaction on a whim,... But you pulled thoughts deeper than I could have remembered. God Bless my Brother! I love you.

this one hits hard

Damn, this song is tough! I love the background singing like you were doing in the beginning you just want to sing along but topic is so heavy. I lost my best friend the week before third 22. Not sure if it was an accident or suicide but either way, I lost one really close friends on his 40th birthday, missed call, I was at work , and a bullet to his head. For a couple years, I would think if I just answered the phone? I feel for Ren I’m still kind of blaze himself not getting that quicker because he looked the closest. He just stopped riding his verse a couple minutes there. He thinks he would’ve been on time to talk him out of it and pull him back over the edge.. but it’s not true buddy, you can’t blame yourself once someone makes up their mind about something like that it’s almost impossible to change their mind. It would’ve been another day.. he’s so smart, that he changed the eye in the song to exclamation mark to get it through the KZread censorship. you should all be so lucky to have a friends once in life like Ren.

Thank you for reacting to this and sharing in the feels. Much love

Beautiful reaction my brother. This song links us all in common heartbreak. The world is too hard for us all to not have known someone like this. Reach out to you circle. Make sure everyone is good.

Thank you for sharing your reaction , i can see how much pain you felt and i hope you are able to heal through this. Music is therapy but it sure does hurt sometimes

Hearing your personal story, just want to send you some love. My daughter attempted 5 years ago, luckily we found her in time and got her help. She's been doing much better, but I deeply empathize with anyone who has been through this. I listened to this song and it actually helped me process some stuff I hadn't dealt with personally. Sending love and hugs.

❤️ We all suffer. Be kind to one another.

No one is immune from pain loss hurt regret guilt shame and self annihilation of the mind when dark times pour shadows over us. Ren gives us an anchor and a feeling that we are not alone. He shares himself. I think we are very blessed that Ren continues to resist although the struggle is never far beneath the surface. We who are left bereft to grow old have this need to find understanding and forgiveness and it never comes easy. A very sensitive and emotional reaction from you ❤well done. I’m so sorry for your tragic loss. May the souls of our loved ones be bathed in love and perpetual light.

Honestly, your silence after this song speaks volumes. Sometimes we just don’t have the words to express our emotions effectively.

thank you for reacting to this sending big love from the UK ❤ Ren is starting a movement of love ❤❤❤

I would just like to echo those who have posted before me and thank you for a genuinely emotional and honest reaction. Thanks.

Damn! This item 1st I have heard this and I'm shook. Speechless

If I could give you a hug I would. I can't believe you were able to sit through this after your loss. I lost my little sister in 2015 to a rare and swift cancer, it still hurts. Blessings to you and your family and friends.

I don't typically comment on any reactions but... I wanted to say that I really do love all of your reactions. You're positivity, etc. This was a tough one, but you definitely did it justice. I also want to say that I am deeply sorry for your loss. Speaking for myself, If you ever need ANYTHING, I'm here.

sending so much love to you, my brother @ThatSingerReations. Great review, humbling rawness.
