Therapist Reacts To Ren - Hi Ren #ren #hiren #reaction #firsttime #therapy #worldmusic #psychology

Hey Rosalie, just had a chance to sit down and watch this, thank you so much for this in depth reaction, really happy the song connected with you and really appreciated the place you were coming at it from and loads of great really moving insights here! Big love!!!

Hi Rosialie, Ren's Dad Martin here. I'm a therapist also, here in the UK. I shared your tears as you responded to Ren's work. Very touched by your empathy and powerful response. I see that, like Ren, you want to reach people with some heartfelt hope. Thank you for your insights

"People are hungry for substance, hungry for quality, hungry for art."

Love how Ren always stops by reaction videos and comments on them to show appreciation. Very genuine stuff.

I am a PhD in Clinical Psych. I found Ren's offering the most artistic and genius piece I have EVER experienced. I believe Ren will be the Shakespeare of this new era of social evolution. Great job with your analysis, Thanks!!

No matter how many times I listen to Hi Ren, I always end up sobbing. If that's not art, I don't know what is.

I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this song and to reactors reacting to it as well. No matter how many times, I still get emotional when Ren hits that last verse and rises to his feet.

In my 68 years this may be the most profound piece of music I’ve ever heard. I’ve watched multiple videos of reactions to this video. Yours has been the best.

Hi Ren is the MOST powerfully profound piece of music by any artist I have heard during my 70 solar orbits. That includes other great artists such as Bob Dylan, Don McLean, and a host of other greats.

"You gotta kill you if you wanna kill me" resonated with me in a way that felt like a punch in the gut. But from the inside.

The callback vocal at the end of the song is just perfect, no longer haunting but triumphant.

Glad I'm not the only one who cries listening to Ren. 😢 All his music is so moving.

I'm a songwriter and I've never heard anything like it..the concept,the humour,the reality not to mention his musical skills.

This is by far the best reaction video I've seen of "Hi Ren". You actually went into a proper analysis, did it justice, AND Ren stopped by.

The way you get pumped and cheer for him is so relatable.

I love how he ends the song with hope..the monologue at the end just strengthens the themes of the song .🤘🙏

I suffer from Decades filled with severe Depression and Loneliness. When i first watched "Hi Ren", it shook me like an earthquake. Tears flowing, goosebumps the whole time. Never before in my 55 years of existing i have felt something so intense hearing a piece of music. Just WOW !

This song saved my life. I heard it only 3 days ago, randomly. I was down, most of my life, all of my life down. I've fought and lost and fell and gotten up and struggled with self-harm, addiction, and self-destruction of not just physical but destroying jobs and relationships intentionally. I was writing my letter, had random music playing, some was happy music and some not. Then this song came on, and I tried to ignore it, I kept writing my letter to try to let everyone know who say they love me, that it's not your fault, I'm just tired. I'm broken, flawed, and the fallout of living with knowing I've hurt people, some people for life, thei weight of that burden hurt. It hurts still, but the words kept eating at me, and I stopped and replayed. I don't know. It felt comforting to hear someone vocalize the madness that has plagued my mind, the war, the struggle, the isolation of psychotic bullshit. The rapping was solid, the words related, but the words at the end reminded me that I am human and regardless of the past that I have, maybe someday, somehow I can reach that same person who is sitting alone and lost and broken with a finger on the trigger and the cold steel wrapping around the brokenness and help them to see that they are ok, it's OK, it's beatable. We are human, we will always be what we are, how we react to what or who we are is huge. I still struggle, but this has helped me to finally see and understand that we all share common struggles with self. The ID and EGO want the same thing but go about it in different ways. Knowing these two helps. Ren is a good dude, Ren saved me from continuing the cycle of causing others pain by my lack of coping. Thank you Ren, maybe someday I can shake your hand and thank you face to face.

I've just discovered "Hi Ren" sometime in the past six hours and I can't stop listening to the track. My eyes have been flooded the entire time. I've watched several "reaction" clips and yours is the absolute top analytical as well as emotional analysis. Even at the smallest level, all are impacted by this performance piece, as they should be. Thank you.

“Some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope”. I suffered a tremendous bout of depression in my teens that almost ended my life. What saved me, was something akin to that voice he mentions. In that final moment, when I only wanted the pain to end, a thought crept in and took control. That thought was how those that cared about me would react to the news of my suicide and it caused me to remove my finger from the trigger. 30 years later, it still scares me of how badly I wanted to end it all. When I 1st heard this song, I listened to it on loop for an entire 6 hour drive. This man, this song, will save countless lives with the hope that it offers. There has never been a greater song.
