Therapist Reacts to Hi Ren by Ren (feat. Melissa Cross)

Best Buckle up... Rens Rabbit Hole is a True Rabbit Hole, and its DEEP AF!!!!

I had never heard that song before. I'm kind of blown away by this.

This guy turned himself inside out for us all to understand ourselves. A major service to humanity to be sure!

I would like everyone to listen to the yodeling at the beginning compared to the end. The first was trepidatious, a false bravado, a whistling past the graveyard. Whereas the second was full throated and triumphant. This young man is a genius. There is no wasted space in this piece

Rens music and community has been the most positive thing to happen in the last 5 years. He's truly a gift ❤

This man completely changed my life. My entire outlook on humanity. I am not the same person I was a year ago. I can't even quantify it. I could tell you my children see a definite change. My co-workers asked me what I've done. I told him I'd listened. I sing this song everyday word for word. On top of the other 25 tracks of his. Bardcore RENegade for life. Ladies you're just now stepping into a world that you did not know existed. The emotional roller coaster this man brings through multiple genres of music is unheard of. Enjoy ladies. Spread his art.

When I introduce people to this song, I tell them it's the single most important piece of art that I've ever experienced.

Brief Ren bio: at 17 he contracted Lyme disease...was MIS-diagnosed with "mental" problems...given psychotropic meds that wrecked his physical and mental health...luckily, he received the correct diagnosis...has been in treatment for years and may be for life :face-blue-wide-eyes:...........thank you both for your insightful comments ! I think the Pig/Butcher represents Ren's opinion of many doctors and therapists

Ren is the artist of our age, we’re just waiting for the rest of the world to discover that.

From what I understand is that he did this in one take so to have the conversation authentic and fluid. Amazing artist

The "loosen the noose on the rope" line is one of the greatest lines ever written!!! Ren is a force of nature and his rabbit hole is DEEEEP!! Enjoy going down it.

"Some people know me as hope, some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope" I tear up every time when I hear this line. It doesnt hit close, its a straight up bullseye.

As someone that has and still do live with severe depression for over 45 years now, this piece of art is unparalleled. He manages to capture that inner voice in away that makes it so relatable to every single person on the planet regardless of what walk of life we come from, what status we have in society or where we are born or if we are rich or poor. He tells this story in such a profound way that it is extremely hard for me to not get emotional watching this.

Holy shit I really didn’t think you’d ACTUALLY do this song after messaging you on insta but my heart exploded when I opened YouTube. THANK YOU for watching! Told you he was next level 😏

Holly Molly, I have never heard of Ren before, and as someone who has and is still struggling with mental health, and have had several attempts, to end the pain. Ren's song and words are SO powerful and true. I now need to hear more from him. I have recently relapsed after a year of semi peace, so when YouTube showed this on my page, i think its a sign. Thank you for spreading this.

Been a psychologist and therapist myself for the last 25 years, and this one has been my introduction to Ren. It IS incredibly powerful and truthful. 🙂 Yep, you're right, that "dark" part is not an enemy, although it can "act" as one and have the results an enemy would. That's why one of the ways I used to teach my patients to deal with that sort of inner voices has been to "meet" them, acknowledge them, thank them for what they were doing "with a good intention", and then "ask them to let you know what exactly that intention is". And then, to make a long story short, once established what the real purpose was (and yes, "protection" of some kind is quite common), negotiate on the basis of a simple question: "How ELSE could you achieve the result you want?". It's a way to learn to dance in a more reciprocally compatible way, and it's been consistently effective. 🙂 Ren, IMHO, shows here an "integration" phase, and the basis for this is his knowledge of who he is and his standing by his "hope", which to me looks more like a certainty: "I shall overcome", or something like it. And he "dances the dance", which is a beautiful metaphor for this process. In the beginning the two "parts" dance different dances, in the end he learns to dance THE SAME dance, even if in different styles, but the same dance nonetheless. At least, this is what I get from this video. And, even now that I know it by memory, I can't help but crying warm tears especially at the end. Thank you for your beautiful reaction and breakdown on the psychological level. Really interesting and spot on. Lovely. 🙂 If you want to explore another Ren's piece that is relevant on a psychological level, try "The tale of Jenny and Screech - full". I won't spoiler ANYTHING about it, but it's another masterpiece. 🙂 See you next time.

Thank you for this reaction. ❤ The next Ren song needs to be Sick Boi it follows Hi Ren perfectly.

Now that you've opened Pandora Box of Ren, would love to see your reaction to Full Tale of Jenny and Screech

This kid is so unbelievably talented. This was the first song I heard by him around 9-10 months ago and I was sold

I am a Welsh Irish singer and teacher who comes from an extremely challenging childhood of abuse. A friend shared this song the other day and I haven't been able to stop listening. I live with autoimmunity illness and everything expressed in this song. True musical brilliance because the guitar reminds me of the usher waltz by Nikita koshkin. To express his soul on guitar in harmony with his voice is truly amazing.
