- Therapist analyzes the lyrics to Money Games 1,2 & 3 by REN to discuss how hypocrisy + lack of empathy always leads to tragedy. The solve for this is humility and to look inside ourselves for the ways in which we participate in our own suffering and the suffering of others.

Shell Oil Company was started by a man who had a business that sold exotic seashells on the seashore. That is how/why the logo is a Shell
The rarer than a diamond line always gets considering they're common but a Debeers marketing campaign and strict control of supply is what actually made them valuable
Played up in 'Some Like it Hot' when one of the musicians pretends to be a millionaire and hints at who by displaying a scallop shell he finds on the beach.
Meanwhile his friend is being swept off his feet by the real owner...
Ren mate, we’ve heard it all before “she sells seashells on the seashore”
ooooo i didn't know this!! Thanks for sharing - T :)
Close. The Samuel family had an antique business and were based in London. They started importing shells primarily for use as inlays in expensive furniture and curiosities. But yes, that is how the shell logo originated.
"Hypocrisy + a lack of empathy always = tragedy."
That's a powerful summary. Thank you.
thank you :) - T
The money bags over everyone's heads throughout the trilogy represent being blinded by greed. When he drew the eyes on in part one, he saw himself as part of the problem. When he took his mask off in part three, he was staring into a mirror and saw himself for who he really is again. Everything is intentional with Ren 🙂
Loved your reaction, as usual!!!
SO GOOD!! Ren is brilliant - T
I appreciate your comment, just wondering something. In what way does drawing the eyes make it symbolize himself. I always saw it as him trying to get at least one person to not be blinded by greed.
For me its more that the bag makes them anonymous, which means it could be anyone or it is everyone, so we are all part of the problem. It just makes it all so general, there’s no specific person, but we all are part of of it
His Sackman bobble heads are epic.
Part 2 is what 'bad' Ren is referring to in Hi Ren:
We've heard is all before: "She sells seashells on the seashore'
Great call out!! Glad you remembered. 😊
And "Jimmy and the cookie jar" were called out in the newest song "Kujo beatdown"
All that Ren shares with us is interconnected in a way I have not seen since Pink Floyd.
@@TrianglesAndCirclesthe thing that i find insane is foreshadowing. He sometimes uses the bars from his works that come way later (eg. mentioned ‘she sells sea shells’)
I've been waiting for this day!!! You - SPECIFICALLY - need to react to Ren's song Troubles
Here to warn her she will probably need tissues if she does Troubles.
She needs to see the acoustic version where he's in a car.
And to "Dominoes" too!
She did react to the music video.
Shes already done troubles bud 😎
The strings sound familiar because they are a slowed-down version of the hook from the first two songs.
When I hear it I immediately think of On the nature of daylight, the beginning is very similar.
Really good analysis! So many reactors hear this and go on to talk about those bastards over there (them) who are kicking the little guys (us). Almost nobody gets the point of this trilogy that "we're all part of this old money game." Well done. I learned something important from you as well when you labeled the first "hypocrisy," the second "empathy," and the third "humility," and put them together in an equation. You drew some extra, unnoticed meaning from this trilogy. Thanks!
I have seen quite a few who do realize That WE are ALL part of the money game. As the saying goes, don’t hatefully the player, hate the game.
Being a capitalist and being greedy are very different things. Likewise in MG 3 when daddy says to his 5 y.o. “ You have to learn to be a man; a man who works for what he wants.” I think that it’s lost on a ( most) 5 year olds but it isn’t wrong. Think about the inherited stupidity and laziness that comes with inherited wealth.
Thank you so much!! Means a lot that you liked it! - T
Love that you did all three together, fabulous reaction. What a gift Ren is to this world!
All three in a row was great! c:
After Ren went viral with "Hi Ren" his channel grew from just over 300K to over one million sub's in a little more than 7 months. As a thank you to his community and as way to impart a few thought's by the artist behind the art he released a 5 minute video to the YT community with a personal message from his heart. The video is titled:
🔥" ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS - Defining success" 🔥
This is a closer look into the mind of the artist behind the art. Believe me, you'll find this video a treasure to react to and will be a wonderful addition to your channel and the Ren playlist you've got.
Cheers, and Thank you for another great Ren reaction. I hope to see this one on here as well. ✌
Ren is genuinely the greatest artist of the last 30 years. Nobody has dealt with these issues with such artistic integrity since the 90s. A great that’s not recognised.
💯..agree.
There is NF, I put them both on the 1st place
@@Alikespan I think Ren gets the top spot (in my opinion) because he can do it all. A master at multiple instruments, can sing every genre, has a big range on his voice, a bardcore story teller that no one has matched, beatboxer, rapper, using his emotions and lyrics. Sound engineer, makes most of his own beats, acts, directs and produces his own videos. He has done this for years all while fighting a chronic disease. He is a human juke box, he just needs his guitar and his voice to crank out songs like a radio. Being emotionally attached to another artist is fine, I'm just comparing the total talent.
@@kellyt5341 In this Ren is better but NF can storytell very well too. Ren is better musically (Not saying he makes better music) but i love NF bc i can just relate and that puts him on 1st place for me
@@Alikespan I totally understand...🤗
I think this might be one of the best reactions and analysis to this series. Very impressive. Well done. I would love to see you check out his song Dominoes.
I concur
Seconded
Please! This one has an important message
💯
Thank you so much! So glad you're here - T
The violins cellos etc are an arrangement of the money game theme you've been listening to in the last two, that's why it feels familiar
It’s also very similar to “on the nature of daylight” which has been used in a lot of shows/movies so that could be why it seemed familiar.
Your empathy is truly humbling - your insight gives me hope for the future.
Yes sir
awww thank you
The strings are playing the melody Ren hums when he draws the eyes on the guitar player in Money Game 1.
Your commentary is probably more in line with rens message than any other reactor I’ve seen. Watching with you is so much fun
thanks so much!
You always seem shocked by Rens' brillance / sad songs. I recomend something light harted - "Back in 74", It shows how much of a fantastic musician he is.
18:51 this was the funniest thing I’ve seen all week! “I’m in danger” 😂😂😂
Watching you is therapeutic especially as I'm struggling right now. Thank you for all that you do.
You got this. So glad you're here. you're not alone!!! - T
I haven’t watched the MG trilogy in such a long time, but I had to click immediately when I saw that you reacted to it. I cried the whole time, you are so spot on!
❤❤ You made an amazing connection between all the songs. Out of All the reactions to this song I've see, you actually expanded my knowledge and made the deepest connection 😁.
I loved watching you !! The comment you made about Ren telling a story and knowing that it won’t be a happy one 😂
Can you check out Dominos by Ren .. it is a great song and has a really important message- pretty please I know you won’t be disappointed❤
One of the best reactions to this trilogy I've seen. I loved your analysis.
Nice to see Ren back on the channel, really hoping you get to chalk outlines sometime soon.
Thank you, thank you, thank you gor more Ren! ❤
To my mind Jimmy's dad is metaphor for society, cultural assimilation, peer pressure, and general expectations , etc...also notice the gun dry fires, so the solution he points to is open to interpretation but he may have been given/given himself a second chance once he recognized his complicity
note that the lyrics go "presses on the trigger OF THE MONEY GAME". not the trigger of the gun. so he decided to end the money game, not his life.
@@huldradraco nice distinction, agreed
I take it more literally because I grew being told I was worthless if I didn't work for everything. I was worthless if I accepted or asked for help. If I couldn't do whatever perfectly then I was bum ass deadbeat like my own father. I heard that everyday for most of my child hood so money game 3 resonates extremely powerfully for me
@@joryjennings7527 metaphor can be specific to a personal scenario, so my sympathy to your situation and I think but the macro and micro can be equally useful as a perspective.
Taylor, thank you for opening my eyes on these 3 songs. I looked at them as society, governmental, and then personal involvement in the strive for money, greed and fame.
You gave me a deeper perspective as to how each version affects everyone.
You were the first reactor that I see that understood the faceless meaning on part 1. You are amazing! ❤
Good reactions. Ironically, I was planning on messaging you today to.ask you react to either "Depression," "lost all faith," or "humble" by Ren lol
Glad you reacted to all of these together. This was sooooo good ❤
Great reaction. Thanks for doing it.
Great reaction. About time, you nailed this one.
That our REN.!!!
Renagades Roll ❤❤
🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧👍👏👏👏👏
"The Problem could feel so big... when we are talking about political issues". That's the beautiful part of Ren. He agrees with you and his way of showing it is during his last album release prior to it he had a contest where people could win money. In the contest people could work together. In fact he encouraged people to work together to figure out the puzzles. To show when we want something we will work together with others to achieve something we cannot do alone. Then he released a Poem called Eden that show cases what you talk about here. How a lot of people feel like we can't change anything and problems are too big. But that we are capable of doing great things and achieving things out of our reach. I always feel bad when someone does a reaction to Eden without context or thinking its a song instead of a Poem.
Rain, rain, rain, rain... A storm it comes our way. Such a great reaction. Ren's genius is so real.
Great reaction! For further insight into what Ren is calling us to do, check out Ren's video calked Eden. It is the last 'prize' in the social media treasure hunt he had people playing online to market MG3. The treasure hunts were set up in such a way that each hunt required so many divergent skill sets that online communities started developing that included all these skill sets to solve the riddles. The treasure hunt showed the power of a group working together to something that just one person can't.
Eden really is the culmination of MG1 2 & 3th. It so compelling and hard to explain. It gives me chills every time I listen to it and gives great insight in to Ren's message. Would love to watch you react to it!
Ahh thanks you posted it. I wanted to do that as well 👍.
And I wanted to recommend Crucify Your Culture. I think the song strikes the same chord. But that has already been recommended as well 🙂. You can count on the Renegades .❤
i'm sick, i can't express myself with words but hugs. So here we go 🤗
This trilogy is calling us out to change our habits as human beings and as consumer's. Reduce, recycle, reuse. Whenever possible make sure your purchases are ethically sourced. Whenever possible buy organic and locally. Participate in government and community making. He’s asking a lot, but the human race has painted itself into to a corner. Time to do or die. 😊💜😊
Can't wait for money game 3. Just starting the vid!
Great reaction...to the greatest musical piece i can remember
Ren has two songs called Insomnia and Depression that I think would be good to hear your perspective of. Honestly poetry in its finest form for me
Insomnia embodies insomnia. I find it calming.
Great analysis and take aways, really enjoyed this today.
Great job on this complex series
24:06 Yes! It sounds like Money Game... it's the lead motif from the first two, played on strings. ;-)
Man, I really want to see you dive into his past catalog some. Songs like Crutch & Dominoes would be great to see your reaction.
Amazing reaction, was waiting for this. Count me for votes for Dominoes and Troubles soon
If you haven't already reacted to it, given your final comments - Ren + Eden - Humble - is definitely worth a listen, and is a bit more upbeat
Hope you will react to Ren - Back on 74 / Message In A Bottle retake by Ren, it shows a lighter side to him and shows his incredible music range
Been waiting for this one, well done and thank you 😊
Masterpiece of a reaction! I am humbled by your breakdown and summation 💗
I feel it like knots inside me. Many of the knots tied between my soul, my body, the world and cosmos were helpful at first. But I've outgrown a lot of them and it trips me up in the world. I spent a large portion of my twenties somewhat recklessly untying knots without knowing myself or the world enough to know what purpose they were serving. In my thirties I tied a lot of knots as a fear response. The thing about this analogy is our patterns and programs know the knots intimately while it's our biggest blindspot as a person. There is no way to navigate the untying and tying of these soul knots without life experience, self awareness and humility.
Making this work a priority in our lives (I believe) is the best thing we can do to affect positive change.
Thank you for your part in this 🌟
It’s a story about Jimmy, but it’s a story about our broken culture and systems. They hurt all of us, even the ones who stand to benefit the most. WHO has the highest suicide rate in the US? It’s a wake up call to me and my people to join the fight. ❤
I feel like it can’t be understated that Ren is mic’d up and this video was one shot no cuts. Just like all his other videos. That part always adds so much more to the way I look at his music.
I've watched this hundreds of times and i cry as soon as i hear those strings every time!❤it sounded familiar to you bc it's the same tune from the 1st two money games😊Ren is a creative genius.
💯...🤗
AWESOMENESS!!!!!!! Ren is a genius! Love your channel! 🫶🏻🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
You weren't ready... Awsome reaction !!
I've watched his Money Game series so many times, but watching you watch it made me cry all over again like the first time.
This man is such an old soul, wise far beyond his years, compassionate, loving.. we need more like him - and you.
thank you sm! so glad it resonated! Ren is a gift!
Yes finally more ren 😂😎 thanks
Wonderfully detailed reaction with very helpful insights
Appreciated your thoughts
YES!!! Finally some Ren! ❤❤
I knew this song already, havent listened to Ren for a while though anymore. Listened to one of his new songs and came back to this one and damn, I always get shivers during Money Game 3... amazing song and a great reaction, thank you for spreading the song even more.
#Ren really opens up the 3rd eye ❤
He can also induce a degree of "pucker"...
.
Oh! You did mean THAT "eye"?
😉
@@rogerstarkey5390 put that tongue back in your cheek
Edit: song recommendation Prof "Figured Out"🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@rogerstarkey5390 😂
In another piece I think it was The Story of Eden, he references the fact that in the treasure hunt participants had to some degree achieved hive mind to solve it. He mentions it as a possible means of ending the money game. A means creating the nirvana he alludes to here in 3.
He is the most talented artist I’ve seen I decades. True talent.
Love the butterfly
Thank you for the reaction! watching it now
Thanks Taylor❤
Your passion is infectious and makes me want to be better. For you.
Your breakdown of Ren's messaging is insightful, inspired and intuitive.
Your arrival at an understanding of Ren's art is with conviction and a certainty that excludes any other interpretation. That's not a "bad" thing since more often than not, you're not just correct, but you've expanded the message to it's logical conclusion.
I'm done. You're not "becoming" you "are" my favorite TH-camr.❤
Yay I’m so glad you’re back!
In 'hi Ren' when his darker side mocks the lighter sides work efforts he says "uhgg, she sells sea shells by the sea shore", that's meant to mock money game part 2!!
Took me way too long to pick this little fact out so hope someone enjoys it
🎧👍🏻this song is just real! And I love it !
good work. Pls note, that Moneygame 3 is a 2 take film masterpiece and has won awards for its brilliance.
Best breakdown and insight by flippin’ far!!! You have a formidable analytical mindset don’t you? Kudos to you!!!
It sounded, like the part he hummed in Money game 1+2. Great video. Heard it so often already and sit here again with Goosebumps as always
love that you are back! hugs all around! but only one word! BUTTERFLYSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! lol
Ren hinted that a new Tale is on the way.
He is filming it next month. Probably 6 months before we see them air. Hopefully sooner. 😊
Love your math equation analogy with these 3 songs. It’s definitely humility. It’s the only way to solve this problem.
Wow, I love your commentary on how we need to work within our circle of influence. Thank you for sharing. :)
Loved ur reaction to these 3 songs.
Great insight...thanks!
When the song starts out with "taking his first steps and running quickly, and his first words were mine mine gimme" and then later in life it turned into "he cursed the words mine mine gimme, at 41 he wasn't walking, 42 not walking quickly". That turn of events.. WOW
Soooo amazing for a live performance
You should do one million subscribers.
Yeah! REN!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Preach GIRL IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY GAME
I think one of the most important things is to understand what words mean. Hypocrisy and lack of empathy stem from ignorance. The important point here is with empathy, greed never takes root in the first place, being thrown away because its damaging. There is also the fact that some have less emotional empathy, where i dont know what to do, but over all, schools and parenting have to change.
That ending to Part 1 might be hard to watch, but it literally instantly proves the point you made seconds before about the message of the song.
You need to do Ren and Eden Nash "Humble"!
Great reaction and commentary. Possibly the best I’ve seen for the money game reactions. Well done!
part 3 is basically one shot, and its so cool, and i watched behind the scene on this one...its so cool how camera moves and all actors do their part and the angels, so impressive. you need to watch this 3more time to see all of it :D
You know the two best musicians on youtube are the best to show us the crap our society is.... They are not technically not born in America
Aww yay! Ive been waiting for this for soo long haha. Im glad youre doing all three in one.
Yours is the first reaction I've seen that links the 3 and talked about the different roles each play - very cool!
Always appreciate you ❤😊
❤ great reaction - Thanks
I was already laughing my az off when you said "think about how his stories end" then the SIMPSONS GIF popped up I I literally choked 😂😂😂😂
Fantastic reaction and insight, humble by Ren is a great song btw, love love loved your insight, thank you 🙏🐊❤️🦉👍
The moment you mentioned that the masked guy was faceless, and thus easy to harm... Ren gave him a face, and couldnt hurt him anymore, had to face himself. I've watched this video countless times, but this didnt click untill you mentioned the faceless bit.. thanks for your insights!
Wow, Taylor! I love you as a reactor. You convert so much complexity into soluble clarity in the things you say. I also love how you bring an appreciable humanity to issues that are not easy to dissect and understand. Whilst appreciating the artistry of the videos and music that you react to, you are always able to find a relevance for those stuggling with their personal response to difficulties that they are experiencing with being alive. It's another another form of artistry and genius! Go you.
Love your necklace💜💜💜
"I've never heard Ren tell a story about a specific person and have it end well..." 😆 I never thought of it that way, but you're right. Great reaction and insight!
Your reactions are so much more insightful than most. I love your genuine emotion with the breakdown to the deepest levels of the song. You are truly amazing! Thank You!
It's not a sad story. It's a sad reality.
There are so many ways to look at the same subject, and all are relevant. Intellect, Emotion, and Stagnation. It's fine to project a song from the emotional viewpoint ( as many songs are) but it doesn't address how exhausting it can be to cater to emotional blackmail. When you are raised with a parent who abuses your emotions, you have little pity for those who drag all of society into stagnation. There must be a middle ground between those who produce and those who drain resources. That's called reality.
