I was trying to find the words to say after that reaction when I realised I had the perfect wisdom that was imparted on me; "Brother, I am so honored that you shared a part of your story here. I am sending the best energy towards the adjustment in life that's ahead of you and am believing in a positive transition for you. I'm believing in you overcoming yourself, my friend. Lest we forget how far we've come." - Walterooski, April 2023.

Dude…. Using my own words against me…. you magnificent sonuva beeeeshhhh. I love you, thank you so so much ❤️

I’m so glad you made the choice to live. Both my parents committed suicide, my brother has attempted suicide more than once, and I was also in the bathtub filled with hot water and a razor blade, thinking as you did that would be the least messy place for whoever had to clean up after me. Ultimately my cats saved me, the longer I sat in the bath, thinking that since I’d pushed everyone out of my life it might be weeks before anyone found my body and my cats might die too. I won’t go into any more depth, just to say that was 23 yrs ago and I’m still here and grateful that I am. Much love to you, Beautiful Soul.❤

What a touching, honest, living & breathing embodiment of Hi Ren's Eternal dance: the pendulum swings. My favorite thing about your channel is the exuberant JOY you express... & it brings me joy. It's infectious! It's honest, authentic joy.... and honest [vs. that dilusional "reality" so prevalent on social media] will share the entire "dance". I hope you know what a rare gift that it! An entire generation is comparing themselves to a "reality" that doesn't exist... and suffering as a result. Just as Ren does with his music, ...you shine an authentic light on the things of life. I, for one, am so grateful for the gift that you and Ren are. There's no telling how many lives you saved today & forevermore... just by being real ...because no matter how dark that day was... it was followed by joy. That, my beautiful friend, exemplifies HOPE.

illest of our time, dear god, the verve one, old skool rap one, just so many . i had fun, im sure you will too

This was a tough one. Walter. I'm so glad you shared. Hopefully we can help you lift some of the weight. We freakin' love you!❤ Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤

We barely know each other, but I can say I honestly wept the first time I heard this. I remembered how I felt in a moment I wish not upon my worst enemy. A cloying, black but cold blanket which seemed to never let go. It smothered my peripheral vision narrowing to just a pinprick of light to cling to. I've not cried since, after watching countless other reactions. Except now. Sharing what you shared and recounting vicariously through your eloquent and harrowing words took steel and bravery. Allowing yourself to be so exposed and vulnerable is not, as we imagine, inflicting some voyeuristic hell on those who do not understand your sorrow. We are a collective of souls built to seek connections which help us understand our lot in life. You have, you did. Thank you.

Brother, I love your genuine empathetic nature, as well as your love of music. You’re one of those humans I’d feel comfortable talking about my sturggles with you (and that’s saying alot for me).

such a truly honest and vulnerable song AND reaction - thank you for that and for the story you shared after the song. Walter, I feel honored to have found you early in your reaction journey - happy to be a Rooski, rooting for all of the other human beings in this world to find love and compassion... for themselves and for others.

This community that formed around Ren's music feels to me like battle weary soldiers that gather together periodically after whatever war. We found people here who truly understand what it is like in the dark cold mental trenches and we can have conversations and share feelings that would sometimes be impossible even to our most beloved to understand because most of them weren't THERE, thank the universe for that kindness... so, thank you Walter and y'all, for letting your scars and wounds show. Much love.

Fate made sure you were available and ready to make reaction videos just at the exact time that Ren started to explode. It s just a perfect combination, just like pearls and tuning forks ❤

The timing of them coming back together on the lyrics is amazing.

You are the best reactor out there. You pour your heart and soul into each one. You allow yourself to feel, really feel, the music and to openly communicate those feelings to your viewers without holding back. You are a top notch reactor and a beautiful human. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your story and emotions with us ❤ Ren also wrote Freckled Angels about the friend he lost and it is a beautiful tribute. I recommend listening to the studio version first, but there is also a very emotional live version from only 8 months after the loss. Musically it isn’t quite as good as Ren seems to be rushing it at times. However, it is obviously because it is a tough song to get through, and it is beautiful in its rawness. Unsure if you can handle reacting to the song, but it might be good for you to at least check them out on your own then. One of the strengths of Ren is how he shares his experiences and emotions so openly so we can feel a little less alone in this world.

Chinchilla- Fingers (Live on Hunger TV) will melt your face off... One of the most beautifully hauntingly stunning vocal performances I've ever heard or seen in my 54 years of eliptically orbiting the Sun on this floating iron spaceship... Can't hype it enough. :D

I am so sorry you lost someone so close to you. May his voice in your head help you to find peace; when we're talking to the dead, it's not madness but a slow healing of the heart. ❤‍🩹

I loved the studio version when I heard it a couple of years ago, but when I saw this last year, it became my all-time favorite duet. I could talk about the lyrical or technical aspects of what they're doing here, but it's the visceral, passionate way it's delivered that doesn't need anything more than listening. It astonishes me how Ren-and in this case, Ren and Chinchilla-have unleashed so many kind, generous, caring, beautiful souls to share their stories with strangers. The world becomes a better place every time we open up and every time we accept the experience of others. Thanks.

The agonies of your words make visible the pain you hold. Let it drain away, my friend, and swirl down the gutter of memories into forgetfulness. A stronger light shines now, and fills you with a radiance undimmed by the past. Be well, you are appreciated, nay, loved.

Your writing is totally beautiful. I was right there with you the whole time. I went on to read what I could on the screen. Take so much care listening to Ren's music. His story has so many harrowing moments too and speaking for myself I'm grappling with the pure beauty and healing that comes from listening, plus the remembrance of past events / sorrow / grief and then what Ren has gone through himself and what he is going through now. Every single one of these needs pause, gentleness and care. Jan 6 was when I first heard Hi Ren and the overwhelm (in all wonderful though still challenging ways) continues.

Thank you for this intense and vulnerable reaction. Thank you for being you. It is such a shame that many people don't realize they don't want to stop living until they have taken steps toward an exit. I'm glad you (and your roommate) continue on the path. Your mention of The Civil Wars made me want to recommend that you watch "All is Well" by Avi Kaplan (formerly of Pentatonix) and Joy Williams (formerly of the Civil Wars); although recommending another song after such an intense song and reaction seems almost sacrilegious.

Oh walterooski the live version is THE one. This one is good but the live version is out of this world amazing. Please do that one as well sometime soon! Ren is possibly the only artist I've known, where his live on the street performances outshine the studio ones - possibly due to his years busking on the streets. His artistry shines so much brighter when raw - the visceral, untainted, unpolished beauty... C'est magnifique (chefs kiss) 🔥✌️

"gather up all your loose change." some hugs for the early-days version of walterooski who went through that with his friend, and hugs for the version of walterooski that wrote in medias res, and hugs for today-walterooski. this song just kind of punches you in the gut, doesn't it? in a beautiful way, but still. it's still a punch. at some point, when you feel like you can hear this song again, do check out the non-live version. it's worth hearing it for the strings, imo. not saying you need to react to it, just enjoy it if/when you're up for it.

Ren can relate to just about everyone it seems. Genuine emotions from an artist is gonna hit you feels every time. What you want or losing it - are an extremely different tone if your wanting to feel better. Just get ready to squint when he starts rapping fast. And when you want to go back down the emotional rabbit hole Pocket full of pain - is a rollercoaster insomnia - hits me like a truck 1990s - fun I love music 1 2 3 - is a dynamic trilogy Been on the Ren train for a month now and it's just not the same off of it

Gahhhh, I'm crying hysterically watching you talk at the end. It's funny because when you spoke of self-hatred and of your hopeless existence, I felt sadness and empathy for you. I don't extend that to myself. Thank you for the beautiful reaction. 💜

Ren would be tearing up if he saw this. Well done. And, of course, "Fingers" live by Chinchilla is probably the best first go at pearl clutching with her. Which you will. Blessings.

Also -- others have made excellent suggestions of Ren's more upbeat tracks for a next reaction. There's one lesser-known song that I feel makes a good chaser for the emotional ones -- "Ready For You" is a quietly fierce song about coping with depression. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hm2VsKdwmqy-gcY.html

Yo Walterooski!! Again, your reaction has made my day. Crying with you this morning was so therapeutic. Thank you for that. So excited for the stream tonight!!! I’ve been meaning to make a few suggestions for future reactions. It sounds like the content audio is quite a bit lower than your reaction audio. (In pre-recorded like this one) Maybe bring up the original content audio just a bit. As you grow and more people access your stuff I feel like a lot might get turned off in the beginning of your reactions if you interrupt more than once within the first 20 seconds of something. I don’t really care myself but I’ve seen LOTS of people move on too soon because of it. I want them to stick around to see your awesomeness 😊. Rooting for you and so thankful you’re here sharing yourself with all of us!! I’d buy you a brewski if I could!

You're the only reactor I've seen catch the reference to King Midis. You've restored my faith in humanity. The "round" is also classic to a lot of "religious" music which leads into the religious undertone at the end. It really is good. Another Edit: I find it fascinating watching these, as I like to judge the emotional reaction to certain parts of songs. This can be quite difficult because songs have different meanings to different people. But certain words hold weight.... words like "hope" and "hallelujah". They are a universal truth, as when we lose hope, we've lost everything and really he's singing about losing hope. I think that hit heavy with you as it does a lot of us, because hope is the last thing to go before we have nothing. Hope is the will to go on in the desire for something better. So anyone who reads this that gives a single fuck, keep hoping.

Thank you for baring your soul to us. I hope that you're in a happier and more positive place now. Rens art has hit people/reactors in a very different way to any other artist I've ever seen. This man is gonna be a legend and will change the industry forever. If you want to check out chinchilla doing some solo work, as others have said 'fingers live for hunger tv' is the one to hit.

G'day Roo 👋 I knew this one would cut deep - It did with me too. My husband suicided when our children were 15, 13, 9 and 6. He was a gentle & emotional person, a talented artist, and a great dad, but the inability to accept who he was consumed him. Years of body dysmorphia, anorexia, bullemia, therapists, meds....... The unrelenting mental anguish he felt manifested into internal physical pain. His behaviour became very odd as he tried to find himself, and failed repeatedly. He hanged himself in the backyard shed. He was 6'3" tall and his feet were touching the ground - He could have saved himself, but he chose not to. This is my last image of him. Im so very grateful for this growing tribe of people who are normalsing vulnerability and creating a supportive environment in which to share and support each other. Much Love ❤

You are a true inspiration, Walterooski. Keep on being you and shining your light. I'm so glad that the Ren rabbit hole led me here. Big hugs my friend.

Ma'am, I am so honored. I can't thank you enough for those kind words; I apologize I'm only just seeing them. I have found that, when I got to the point where I was finally willing to talk about my past and my pains, there was tremendous liberation in sharing my stories. I won't deny that it is a scary and vulnerable place to bare myself in that way, but the freedom that comes from recognizing how far I've come outweighs the desire stay hidden. I don't know that I'll ever be able to fathom somebody saying I'm an inspiration, but I'm truly grateful that my words seemed to mean something to you and thankful that you went out of your way to be so kind. I should be thank you and giving you hugs, not the other way around.
