Hi Rosalie. Ren did a couple shout-outs to you today when he was live on Twitch. He appreciates reactors so much. When he pulled up a youtube query for "Ren Reactions" right after the premier and already saw you and others there, he started crying. It felt so wholesome and touching. Then it was super fun to hear him talking about the various reactors, whom he says feel like friends and family to him, and I already know and follow all of them too. (One of which is you). Thank you for your contribution to this unusual community and this wild ride for the last couple months. Very special.
Was watching Ren on Twitch when he saw that you reacted to his video. He was excited because he really appreciates your videos. He teared up because there were 10 reactions in the first hour.
It was so fun to watch the new trailer today as the hours wound down. Ren was on the chat on youtube too, making jokes right up until the magic moment. Then he said "Here comes the coolest countdown clock". And now here it is and I'm a 60 year old fan girl. Enjoying your reaction too!!! Thank you so much.
Agree entirely. It made me feel like i was back in the 90s waiting inline at HMV for the latest release. Only better as the chat Live chat was crazy with Ren interacting.
Ren was in a livestream earlier and got emotional seeing that you and some others had already reacted to his new song. He gave you a shout out as well and sent love to reactors as a whole.
His lyrical use of double entendres is amazing, "’I'm heavy, I’m Mercury, I am Freddy,..." Mercury being a HEAVY metal, Freddy Mercury....😵💫 C'MON! Even the title is a double entendre - "Illest of our Time". He's firing warning shots in this one and making sure everyone takes notice. Nice to see him showing some attitude and confidence, being a little braggadocious. I Love it.
The elevator is the "tunnel" to his mind... The "Pig Doc" is leading him to the his mind where he have to deal with this others "animals", representations of fears, nightmares and so ons... Or something like that
Hi Rosalie. I have been a musician for many years writing songs and performing with bands and other friends. These last years of my life i had fallen a bit away from writing and playing i was struggeling to find meaning in the only solid thing i have in my life "music". Then one day i came across "Hi - Ren" and it mirrored my feelings...I was blown away with the honesty in his songs because i listened to everything at ones!! All his songs hehe. And i have now picked up the gitar again and started to write..thats the magic of REN! And this one is brutal and beautiful..
Thanks for Reacting to this. And anyone saying this was fast needs to know she happens to be one of Rens favorite reactors and I'm 100 percent sure he gave her permission
Ya I know she is one of his favorites I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't start sending her his stuff a little early. She's one of my favorite Ren reactors
Ren crosses age, race & gender. They are beautiful for the music they create and share. Edit: Not for any sympathy because I am totally at ease with life but I respect what you say about music and therapy. My wife suffers from dementia but when we listen to music we both appreciated when we were more together I always marvel at how it (music) is the key to unlock many doors and it is a true gift in our lives. xx
Depression is a blessing in disguise As someone who suffers from depression tmyself I find this is so true. One blessing is that you discover your true friends
The bar about turning it up to 11, he's a Demogorgon, is a straight reference to Stranger Things. Fun fact for you ☺️ We talked about you on Rens twitch stream today too! Spreading the love!
The bar about traveling to the corner of my cornea had me kind of giggling since I'm pretty sure there's no corners in a cornea 🤣🤣🤣 so basically you getting lost looking for a corner in his cornea 🤣🤣
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it but Ren made this amazing video and all the rest of his new Sick Boi Album way before he even went to Canada and definitely before NF dropped his new songs wearing white so he would of had no idea what NF was going to do ,I guess they just both look great in white and decided independently of each other to wear it in their music videos , love them both and am so excited about their new music , so 🔥🔥...tho as an all rounder Ren is the !!
Ive said it on other comment threads that i truly believe that the world needs something right now to pull us thru these tough times. Ren is fresh and topical and the world needs him right now. I really think thats why hes blowing up now.
There is a reference to flying up and touching the sky. He did a song called Icarus with his band. He throws in so many references to his other work in all that he does. This was very angry but I loved it. It gives me the band "Mushroomhead" vibes with the animal masks and chaos. I love that he films videos with what is around him in a lower costs way which gives it the great street quality style. The cinematography is always amazing. I am not into rap at all but I always look forward to what Ren has to say because he says so much in such simple phrases with big impact. Powerful!
You brought it for this one!! This was not an easy song to analyze. He was certainly bringing the punches!! He definitely pushed some of my buttons, but I also reserve that space for him because I know he is provoking us to think more deeply about our world ❤Your enthusiasm during the song ads so much. Looooved it again!! 🌟🙌🌟
Yes, all generations do seem to be interested in his work! 🤠 I'm 64, a musician and visual artist, and one who has struggled with my own mental illness issues--as have others in my family. That struggle hasn't only been in my head, but in my artistic endeavors, because I've been more on the passive side of things (i.e. co-dependency, depression) and have always felt that my own creative work has been "missing the mark," authenticity-wise. Discovering Ren has been one of recognition and joy for me in the past few weeks. His willingness to face his inner demons and uncompromisingly show the ugliness and beauty of that battle has been a great inspiration for me and other artists and, from what I've seen in the comments of so many reactor channels, for anyone dealing with the rough edges of life. My sister is a therapist, and I shared your Hi Ren reaction with her last week. She loved it!
He is demanding the respect that he hasnt gotten much of except from us fans. I think he is respected by people that have been exposed to him. Im sure he felt disrespected by sony bailing out on him while he was down, but thats a blessing in disguise because he owns his music and his lyrics are amazing
Loved what you said about choosing the light. It reminds me that we have to deal with our responses, which can feel tough as we do have a choice. To allow oneself to connect with the choices we make when we have healed from trauma and begin choose to take the turn onto the path of healing and light.
You're to cool not to subscribe to, I'm on a Ren binge..just found the dude not long ago and that's all I been doing lately. Much love to both of you guys..he's just different. Literally the best, creative artists all around I've heard in 20-30 years. I'm 42 and feel like a kid again binging on an artist, he's the goat of our time right now imo
Ren has flexed his rapping skills and made statements about who he is as a rapper before in tracks like The Hunger and Losing It, but this feels like him stepping up to say he is ready to FIGHT. And I am here for it.
*Ren, in white, leading the animals :* _"Pull up, pull up, pull up to the place. When I pull it, bang, a bullet sang, it shot right into space"_ *Ren, bare chested, leading hooligans :* _"Music for the hooligans let loose on the estate, call the police and the riot vans the people want to play, hey!"_ He's leading both groups. Firstly, the animals _(yes, including the Pig)_ ... is this his commoditisation of his art? selling himself? ... and then also leading the hooligans 'on the estate' an angry disenfranchised youth rioting against the system. Seems like a duality of purpose here. Perhaps a nagging sense of hypocrisy. A nod to having a foot in both camps? I think the idea ties back to his other work. Like in "Sick Boi" where he says _"While I'm bleeding, I'm the reason 'cus I'm doing the same"_ or in "Money Game" where he says _"Point the mirror at ourselves. We're ALL part of this old money game"_ ... he's quick to point out that we are all part of the system too. And he's _"bleeding himself"_ for fame, as 'Sick Boi' phrases it : ) And so, here he is, leading two groups in a fight! He's become king, in successfully selling himself in the UK music scene. Commoditising himself. And he's become king to those railing against commercialisation and greed. Just a thought. I may be reading too much into it.
Maybe you are reading too much into it, but nice mind gymnastics there. I agree that theme of good and evil in every human is a recurring theme even in his 10 year old songs (pig representing the greed in oneself or in icons like corporations I think), also there is the contrast of ill(good meaning) Ren vs ill(medical meaning) Ren in 2 parts of the song.
He has so many layers of detail in his work, it takes a half dozen of the smartest reactors to put it all together. As such... I doubt we've attributed too much thought to it.
Wow thankyou for doing this I am so impressed by Ren and I have done most of his catalog now this rap was no surprise for me I know that he can go hard but the content is really good his lyrics are just crazy and the call backs to some of his other work was cool he really is a poet I love your breakdown and I think you really hit it on the head you are so very good at this as always your ride or die forever Eyyyyy Ooooo what a awesome ride today
Rosalie, I have completely run out of superlatives for Ren. You, on the other hand, break down and detail and describe every aspect of a video produced by Ren. I absolutely appreciate and marvel at your reaction! I also applaud your honesty concerning a reference Ren made in his lyrics, which completely went over my head but I get it. Thanks for playing Ren's "Illest of Our Time" and for another great reaction!
The wanton soup reference was great, that is what his brain feels like after all the misdiagnoses and medications he took. The wrestling reference, Hardy Boys(Jeff Hardy) doing their signature move The Swanton Bomb. Freddy Mercury was good too, he is Heavy like Freddy he is Mercury, which is a heavy metal used in thermometers, which goes in hand when your ill, and need a temperature. The 456 crucifix is a reference to Freddy Kreugers rhyme
@@nondetection8882 but does #456 of the game have to do with a Crucifix? Freddy Kreuger is because 5,6 grab your crucifix, just the flow of it and because Freddy Kreuger is dead in the movies, but he creates nightmares in the mind
He did a live stream right after the video dropped yesterday (on Twitch), and to see his genuine, emotional reaction to how many reaction channels had already posted videos within an hour of the songs release, was truly heartwarming. This young man deserves every bit of love , support, and success he's finally getting. I couldn't be happier for him, especially for someone so talented, so driven, and without question, someone who has been forged through fire. Love this kid! Fan for life.
Ooohhh looks like you did the first reaction video! Thanks for reacting to this brand new track!! I'm still trying to catch all the lyrics. The video was excellent - loving the new Ren!! ❤
I’ve been making a playlist on Spotify called “Ren. The Twisted Tales.” and I quickly ran into one major problem. They can’t ALL go at the TOP!!! Another awesome reaction Rosalie. 😁
Ren did it again. A video to make you go hmm. His rap skills put him in my personal top five. Ren. ,NF, T bone, Prime Minista, Eminem. Ren is truly unique. There isn't a thing he cannot do. He speaks so much truth.
I'm 42 years old and absolutely love Ren and not only his music but his character and his story telling. The guy's voice is incredible but it has nothing on his lyrical genius and his ability to make his instruments perfectly coincide with the lyrics. I wont even talk about the amount of genres just one song covers.
So cool you did this right off the bat! A few notes - 1. white clothes/NF similarity - it's totally coincidental, but very, very intriguing, there have been a number of similarities between them with their new releases (another one is Hope) but Ren mentions in his comments to the video it was done last summer -actually a pretty cool and creepy story, worth checking it out! 2. Am I tripping, or were there two different Ren's in the video? Ren in White and tied up Ren, also when White Ren with animal masks faces off hooligans, there is another Ren on their side as well - I picked up some duality here, still trying to match it with the lyrics. Any thoughts, anyone? This video was loaded with symbology and so are lyrics.
I saw Black Pegasis make the connection between the white clothes and the characters in A Clockwork Orange. The baseball bats and the siren apparently also fit that interpretation as they are in that movie too.
I’m 68-years-old. My Dad was a music reviewer for the first National music magazine, “Tape Recording”. This was when it was all reel-to-reel tapes back then. Ren is so incredibly Amazing, a real music pioneer. I adore what he does. Such an Artist!! ❤❤❤❤ This was quite a time for this to come out, too.
What I'm seeing so far f in this, beyond what you've highlighted, is the next stage of the Sick Boi story arc, much like the stages of grief... here, we've moved bey9nd Frustration and Depression, and just starting to dip toes into the onset of Anger (with a dash of Determination thrown in for flavor)
Hey Rosalie, did you see that Ren was talking about you and the love your give him. He was looking at all the reactions shortly after he posted video and got really emotional and it was just so moving to see the effect it had on him. A lot of people in his comments section were talking about how much they love you and your reactions to his music and he was saying it as well. It was just a beautiful thing. There's a bunch of videos sharing about it online ❤ I LOVE your reactions my friend
Ren promises that from this song on he really will get serious. Because he is a masochist, the type to kill a pacifist (doesn't fear to fight), an alchemist of words (what is the objective of Alchemy?), an evangelist, spreading the good word but in a way that you think he is a cancerous pragmatist, and yes "think before I speak then I answer it" (he has the answers, but first you have to find the questions). As in 'Hi Ren' he tells as that he is Mercury (the messenger of Gods, also the trickster, who gets all the ladies he want), and he is Freddy (I think this is a reference to F. Kruger, the evil child killer) in one person (and actually playing with the name of Freddy Mercury in the same time). Don't just hear my word "eat my word fill your belly" because there is much to ponder. He is a fallen angel on his way to get back to heaven, so he fully shows himself to everybody, and if you go deep into " the corner of my cornea and mind" you may find the answers that even Ren could not find. Who (Ren and his audience) could ask for anything more?
I thought the same about the white outfit and NF but the video would have been recorded months ago before he left for Canada, so pretty sure a coincidence.
@@rosalieelliottofficial Well, I have never rushed to buy a t-shirt so quickly in my life. You have a very beautiful soul Rosalie. Thank you for being so you. The t-shirt idea is super cool. Can't wait for it to arrive.
Illest - slang for best illest To be among the best of somthing but in a unique ground breaking manner. To raise the bar. Change the game. To surpass the best and take them to school. To take something and make it your own. To broaden the minds of others in what you create or build or preform. That is the illest shit I've ever seen yo! From Urban Dictionary
I first came across ren on tiktok looked in to his music no musical talent has hit like every single tune ren has made has helped me more than i can thank him for then also only just came across this channle and i love the channel glad to have came across this video 😊
Back in the day, I was the guy that would always play you a song. I kept a good library of music and loved introducing certain music to my friends. Naturally, reactors on YT became something I enjoyed. I especially enjoy reactors that bring a different look at a song. All of which brings us to your channel. Your intelligent, non biased and heartwarming enthusiasm is a sight for sore eyes. I agree with you here. Ren is making a statement with this. Don't underestimate or box him in. Fire in every aspect. Keep up the good work lady. I enjoy your content.
The line that jumps out for me is 'I was cast out of heaven...! Its a metaphore for Lucifer, the morning star, bringer of light, who offered humanity the choice of free will! This is perhaps one of the greatest artistic acheivements lyricaly & visualy I've ever seen in my 4 yrs of browsing creativity on youtube.
Watching this after hearing For Joe hits different. 'I want to spread these tattered wings, hold them high. Banished from the heavens but I'm knocking on the sky. Living with depression is a blessing in disguise. Never second guessing, intuition getting wise. Want to sink into the pupil of my eye, travel to the corner of my cornea and mind. Look for all the answers that I never seem to find" - - This all his SO MUCH HARDER after learning about the story of Joe, and his tribute.
Thanks Rosalie - was struggling to understand why he wrote the line 'Words are kind of muffled when you’re sucking on my massive…' but what you said made sense - wanting to cause outrage and break limits/barriers - breaking free.
Thanks so much for watching Everyone! Make sure to stop by Ren's page, SUBSCRIBE and like the original video.

*Ren, in white, leading the animals :* _"Pull up, pull up, pull up to the place. When I pull it, bang, a bullet sang, it shot right into space"_
*Ren, bare chested, leading hooligans :* _"Music for the hooligans let loose on the estate, call the police and the riot vans the people want to play, hey!"_
He's leading both groups. Firstly, the animals _(yes, including the Pig)_ ... is this his commoditisation of his art? selling himself? ... and then also leading the hooligans 'on the estate' an angry disenfranchised youth rioting against the system. Seems like a duality of purpose here. Perhaps a nagging sense of hypocrisy. A nod to having a foot in both camps?

And so, here he is, leading two groups in a fight!
He's become king, in successfully selling himself in the UK music scene. Commoditising himself.
And he's become king to those railing against commercialisation and greed.
Just a thought. I may be reading too much into it.
Maybe you are reading too much into it, but nice mind gymnastics there.

And also he said that the point of Jenny and Screech was about the ambiguity of good and evil. Yin and yang
He has so many layers of detail in his work, it takes a half dozen of the smartest reactors to put it all together.
As such... I doubt we've attributed too much thought to it.

The wanton soup reference was great, that is what his brain feels like after all the misdiagnoses and medications he took. The wrestling reference, Hardy Boys(Jeff Hardy) doing their signature move The Swanton Bomb. Freddy Mercury was good too, he is Heavy like Freddy he is Mercury, which is a heavy metal used in thermometers, which goes in hand when your ill, and need a temperature. The 456 crucifix is a reference to Freddy Kreugers rhyme
456 could be Squid Game, too.
@@nondetection8882 but does #456 of the game have to do with a Crucifix? Freddy Kreuger is because 5,6 grab your crucifix, just the flow of it and because Freddy Kreuger is dead in the movies, but he creates nightmares in the mind
Im 50 and love Ren, his music is so fresh that its addictive ill be buying his albums without a doubt
He did a live stream right after the video dropped yesterday (on Twitch), and to see his genuine, emotional reaction to how many reaction channels had already posted videos within an hour of the songs release, was truly heartwarming. This young man deserves every bit of love , support, and success he's finally getting. I couldn't be happier for him, especially for someone so talented, so driven, and without question, someone who has been forged through fire. Love this kid! Fan for life.
Thank you, for making this more thru your interpretation. I am a sick girl and your showing me some light. Peace
Ooohhh looks like you did the first reaction video!
Thanks for reacting to this brand new track!! I'm still trying to catch all the lyrics. The video was excellent - loving the new Ren!! ❤
Animal masks? Animal Farm by George Orwell, maybe? Another commentary on society?
I couldn't wait for this and was not disappointed!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow you were on this one in a hurry!
I’ve been making a playlist on Spotify called “Ren. The Twisted Tales.” and I quickly ran into one major problem. They can’t ALL go at the TOP!!!
Another awesome reaction Rosalie. 😁
Ren did it again. A video to make you go hmm. His rap skills put him in my personal top five. Ren. ,NF, T bone, Prime Minista, Eminem. Ren is truly unique. There isn't a thing he cannot do. He speaks so much truth.
If there's anything better than Ren, it's listening to you react to Ren. Your voice is so beautiful. ❤
thank you very much!! :)
I'm 42 years old and absolutely love Ren and not only his music but his character and his story telling. The guy's voice is incredible but it has nothing on his lyrical genius and his ability to make his instruments perfectly coincide with the lyrics. I wont even talk about the amount of genres just one song covers.
So cool you did this right off the bat! A few notes - 1. white clothes/NF similarity - it's totally coincidental, but very, very intriguing, there have been a number of similarities between them with their new releases (another one is Hope) but Ren mentions in his comments to the video it was done last summer -actually a pretty cool and creepy story, worth checking it out! 2. Am I tripping, or were there two different Ren's in the video? Ren in White and tied up Ren, also when White Ren with animal masks faces off hooligans, there is another Ren on their side as well - I picked up some duality here, still trying to match it with the lyrics. Any thoughts, anyone? This video was loaded with symbology and so are lyrics.
The white clothes reminded me of the live Chalk Outlines video.
I saw Black Pegasis make the connection between the white clothes and the characters in A Clockwork Orange. The baseball bats and the siren apparently also fit that interpretation as they are in that movie too.
I love the wordplay that coffin sounds like coughin', and six six six sounds like sick sick sick!
I’m 68-years-old. My Dad was a music reviewer for the first National music magazine, “Tape Recording”. This was when it was all reel-to-reel tapes back then.
Ren is so incredibly Amazing, a real music pioneer. I adore what he does. Such an Artist!! ❤❤❤❤
This was quite a time for this to come out, too.
What I'm seeing so far f in this, beyond what you've highlighted, is the next stage of the Sick Boi story arc, much like the stages of grief... here, we've moved bey9nd Frustration and Depression, and just starting to dip toes into the onset of Anger (with a dash of Determination thrown in for flavor)
Full-album story arc is going to be INSANE when it's all put together. Keep in mind, "Murder" is the title of one if the upcoming tracks
Hey Rosalie, did you see that Ren was talking about you and the love your give him. He was looking at all the reactions shortly after he posted video and got really emotional and it was just so moving to see the effect it had on him. A lot of people in his comments section were talking about how much they love you and your reactions to his music and he was saying it as well. It was just a beautiful thing. There's a bunch of videos sharing about it online ❤
I LOVE your reactions my friend
Don’t forget that “sick” and “ill” are slang words used to describe something as “good” or “cool” things like that
true. I speak on that later in the video. as in dope/best
I've no doubt Ren used both meanings.
Nearly 60years here.
Loving REN.
Have you heard The Hunger yet? The switch ups in that one are amazing.
Ren promises that from this song on he really will get serious. Because he is a masochist, the type to kill a pacifist (doesn't fear to fight), an alchemist of words (what is the objective of Alchemy?), an evangelist, spreading the good word but in a way that you think he is a cancerous pragmatist, and yes "think before I speak then I answer it" (he has the answers, but first you have to find the questions). As in 'Hi Ren' he tells as that he is Mercury (the messenger of Gods, also the trickster, who gets all the ladies he want), and he is Freddy (I think this is a reference to F. Kruger, the evil child killer) in one person (and actually playing with the name of Freddy Mercury in the same time). Don't just hear my word "eat my word fill your belly" because there is much to ponder. He is a fallen angel on his way to get back to heaven, so he fully shows himself to everybody, and if you go deep into " the corner of my cornea and mind" you may find the answers that even Ren could not find. Who (Ren and his audience) could ask for anything more?
Freddie Mercury lead singer of queen an epic rock band..I think those lyrics tie to both. this man is pure talent. . art
Your react is worth at least One Million views!
Wow thank you for that
"Illest" also means the "goat" in urban spit (tongue).... 😍
I still haven't groked what "goat" means. 😏
@@patrickquinlan3056
Goat = Greatest Of All Time
I thought the same about the white outfit and NF but the video would have been recorded months ago before he left for Canada, so pretty sure a coincidence.
Read Rens description about the video, explains why the atmosphere is so tense.
Knew you'd be on top of this! Cheers!
Can't wait to see Ren rocking one of those t-shirts🤞🤞🤞
oh I would be SOOOOO excited!!!
@@rosalieelliottofficial Well, I have never rushed to buy a t-shirt so quickly in my life. You have a very beautiful soul Rosalie. Thank you for being so you. The t-shirt idea is super cool. Can't wait for it to arrive.
@@Natasha-A-Omega oh this makes me so happy to hear!! Thank you
17:36 love your reactions and insights. Looking forward to more from you.
You should send one of those shirts to Ren to sport!!! I love it soo much! Always engulfed in your reactions! Thank you!
Happy Bard'day Ren ya wee Legend....
Illest - slang for best
illest
To be among the best of somthing but in a unique ground breaking manner. To raise the bar. Change the game. To surpass the best and take them to school. To take something and make it your own. To broaden the minds of others in what you create or build or preform.
That is the illest shit I've ever seen yo!
From Urban Dictionary
Sick- good / brilliant LDN slang
Happy bday ren
Happy Ren Day.
I first came across ren on tiktok looked in to his music no musical talent has hit like every single tune ren has made has helped me more than i can thank him for then also only just came across this channle and i love the channel glad to have came across this video 😊
on the money Rosalie!!!
respect is nice in this sense > you deserve it for sure> keep dancing ! keep sharing the light !
He's marking his territory! See Losing It to see just how much he wants it!
Your first ❤ Awsome live experience ! 62 years old here 👍🇬🇧
Back in the day, I was the guy that would always play you a song. I kept a good library of music and loved introducing certain music to my friends. Naturally, reactors on YT became something I enjoyed. I especially enjoy reactors that bring a different look at a song. All of which brings us to your channel. Your intelligent, non biased and heartwarming enthusiasm is a sight for sore eyes. I agree with you here. Ren is making a statement with this. Don't underestimate or box him in. Fire in every aspect. Keep up the good work lady. I enjoy your content.
The line that jumps out for me is 'I was cast out of heaven...! Its a metaphore for Lucifer, the morning star, bringer of light, who offered humanity the choice of free will! This is perhaps one of the greatest artistic acheivements lyricaly & visualy I've ever seen in my 4 yrs of browsing creativity on youtube.
Watching this after hearing For Joe hits different. 'I want to spread these tattered wings, hold them high. Banished from the heavens but I'm knocking on the sky. Living with depression is a blessing in disguise. Never second guessing, intuition getting wise. Want to sink into the pupil of my eye, travel to the corner of my cornea and mind. Look for all the answers that I never seem to find" - - This all his SO MUCH HARDER after learning about the story of Joe, and his tribute.
The Big Push-> I shot the Sheriff Live Ren is the Lead Singer! What a cover, Absolutely amazing
Great react again and again. I watched the premiere and broke my eyeballs watching the turbocharged Live chat hahaha
Much love and love much ✌💜
haha me too. i was getting dizzy
He switches cadences so well. His work is Ren featuring Ren
The track "hunger" also goes off on his rap skills.
Lets goooo! It time for #Ren
Ren says "I'm a Gorilla in the jungle" next to and interacting with a 🦍 in his "Losin' It" video 😊
Ren - hold on is definitely worth a visit
Thanks Rosalie - was struggling to understand why he wrote the line 'Words are kind of muffled when you’re sucking on my massive…' but what you said made sense - wanting to cause outrage and break limits/barriers - breaking free.
I love your analysis, stay on that Ren train because the man is a genuis, one who only comes along once in a very long time, he is Golden.
Underrated song. By several miles
I like that: "The individuals influence is the observation!"
