I lost my wife in 2018 after a very long battle with cancer. This young man has pulled me out of a very, very long depression. He is so genuine in his love...not just for those who matter to him, all of us...even those of us who don't deserve it. He is an inspiration to us all. Its icing on the cake, to know....without a doubt...that we are witnessing the emergence of a legend. I truly believe that he will be counted in with all the greats that came before him. Most days, I'm ashamed of the human race...the depths of our greed and cruelty to others....i served in the military for a long time...and I've become quite jaded towards society as a whole......but then.......
I always talk about Ren...and i always say this kid.is something special. I'm 60...so i think of this young man as a kid...lol But if any young men and young women need a true role model....here he is. Not worth millions because of his ability at a sport....but rich beyond compare with what he carries in his heart. Thank you Ren....for being you...and thank you Rosalie for your truly heartfelt reactions. Love to you all
Amen.
💛 Thank you for that. I feel the same way.
Sorry about the loss of your wife. I lost my mom on January 8 2024. Thank you for your service.
Beautifully said and once again thank you Ren
Thank you Mark. I hope that you find both peace and happiness.❤x
it's not simply a beautiful piano composition, not simply a deep and emotional melody, it's rather an intimate conversation through the power of music
Perfectly said ❤
Bringing a full grown man to tears with a simple keyboard with 0 lyrics is something i will applaud without hesitation!
He knew exactly what he was doing when he said RenMakesMusic. This dude blows my mind.
Ren is made of music
My Dad died 3 weeks ago - he was 94 but it didn’t make it easier. This piece I would have loved to have had at the funeral as it is beautiful and tinged with sadness which epitomizes what you want at a funeral, memory invoking the good times whilst understanding it is sad. Absolutely perfect as a tribute to a friend or loved one
I'm sorry for your loss. ❤
I lost my then youngest child when he was 3. Such a short life, and it ended for the dumbest and most preventable reasons. 😢
Everyone mentioned his age when lamenting the tragedy. He has 4 older siblings. My pain wouldn't have been reduced - or increased - by losing one of my older children.
I joined a grieving parents group. One of the most commonly said things is, "I wish I could see him and hug him one more time."
The thing is, I did. I came home that same day from a weeks long stay in the hospital, where I very nearly passed away myself. Oh God, how I longed for home and family while I slowly recovered, learning again to walk, talk, swallow, toilet, eat, and write.
When we got home that day, my little son crawled onto the bed next to me. He chattered about his new toy and updated me on all that had happened while I was away. He remembered I was pregnant and asked me if the baby was okay. He kissed me and told me, "I love you. Mommy." Then he ran away to play, with none of us suspecting he'd leave Earth a few hours later.
For those who have a bad goodbye or angry words, I know that must be such a source of bitter regret. I had one of the best imaginable goodbyes. I can say with certainty: it's never enough.
A few years, smaller in number than the fingers on one hand... or decades by the multiple... our time with the people we love is too short. ❤
Thank you for sharing that and I am so sorry for your loss. I did get to,say goodbye to my dad before he died which was cathartic and desperately emotional at the same time. You are right that life goes on and we honor our loved ones with good memories. Best wishes.
@@sandiraymond1761 Thank you for sharing. I can't say anything to make you feel better. Nothing anyone can say will ever make things better. I just want to give you a hug. Probably because I need one right now as well. I was already on the verge of crying after the song and this... It just got me. I hope you're finding ways to deal with the loss of a child and finding ways to still be strong for your other children.❤
Gets more beautiful each time I hear it. Same guy who sings about super sizing his fries 😂?! 🤯
My biased take. When Ren gets saved, he will have an added dimension of hope.
@IsaacDDuke I too hope for Ren to find faith. He's such a talented, beautiful human. Filled with Holy Spirit... I can barely imagine.
@@IsaacDDuke My view, also biased, is that Ren is saving himself and bringing a number of people along for the ride, myself included.
Its like a piece of music you hear as a child. I never remembered the names of classical pieces but the melody is eternally etched onto my brain.
Rens ability to create a stunning piece that i perceive, has the essence to become a truly original classical song, is just spellbounding and mindblowing. He is truly the artist of our time. ❤
Ren braucht keine Worte um uns zu Tränen zu rühren! Meine Mutter starb 2006, mein Vater kurz vor Weihnachten 2019 und ich vermisse sie sehr. Rens Musik gibt so vielen Menschen Kraft und Zuversicht und daran sollten wir uns erfreuen! Danke für deine offene und aufrichtige Reaktion. Viel Liebe und alles Gute für dich.
I listen to a lot of music, on Sundays I have classic fm on in the UK, if this was played I wouldn’t question it at all, it’s really up there.
The choice Ren made to have his back not only to those beautiful hills, but also to be mere feet away from a drop-off as he plays... Speaks even more to the emotional dichotomy of sadness and joyful remembrance. There is both beauty and pain behind him, in the past...
have you been there?
"I miss you so fucking much right now" hear it in the notes.
For anyone wondering about the location, it's near Drumheller Alberta Canada, home of the Royal Tyrell museum. It's one of the biggest dinosaur fossil locations and that is what the museum is all about. It's also just a gorgeous area to hike around.
Thanks for sharing that. It adds extra dimension to what's conveyed in the video.
I can't stop watching this masterpiece. He plays the piano so beautiful and from his soul and you can feel the pain through the music. So powerful❤
I thought it was so beautiful that in the premier chat Ren told everyone to take a moment to think of their own loss, letting us share exactly what this meant to him. I thought of my sister, and in those three moments I relived a whole 39 years of pure love I had shared with her. She has been gone 7 years and this last year Ren has helped me through a lot of my grief with his music, to lead me to this moment. It absolutely broke my heart but immediately followed with such a feeling of peace and serenity that I awoke this morning feeling so much lighter. I described it as beautifully painful and painfully beautiful ❤️💔❤️
I feel Ren released a lot with “For Joe” that it made room for him to grieve Callum and pay this beautiful tribute ❤
He tells a story without words. Reflection, fun, confusion, pain, longing, hope. He articulates grief so adroitly and did not say a word.
Sending you love, Rosalie. ❤
Ren speaks so beautifully, even without saying a word. This was absolutely fantastic 💜💜
I think, with Ren's lyrical abilities, that the pure music and vocal silence says everything ❤
This once again shows the depth of not only of Ren's talent but his depth of heart. I am so glad that you found this so soon after it was released Rosalie. It affected you like it did me it me it seems. A wonderful tribute by Ren. A reminder of the cascading effects that an unexpected loss can have on wider family and friends.
Hi Rosalie E, Iam 75 years old and had my share of trauma and love to listen to your comments on Ren. I like Ren so much because because i can relate to his pain and love his versatility in different genres. Your comments help me a lot and wish to thank you for great evaluations. Bless you Rosalie E.
Theres RAPPERS..theres SINGERS Then theres REN.. so different to everyone else, everything he does will always speak to every one us no matter what life throws at us.those who have never seen or heard him before would think this is what he does a musician on a keyboard !! big surprise for those people as no one has his skillset and he moves everyone with everything he has done past & present.
In a dusty side corridor of music I did not visit, were doors that were kept firmly under lock and key and covered in undisturbed cobwebs/spider webs. Behind these doors were ballads, hip hop, rap and piano music. Then just over a year ago along came Ren and brushed aside those cobwebs and smashed the doors to splinters. I expect other doors to be destroyed also.. such a violent boy
I can feel Ren's memories and it brings me my memories of the ones I've lost (including both parents) It's just so beautiful. Thank you Rosalie.
the way you described this, is exactly how I feel. The way the music let you feel that childhood, growing up, fun stuff, then solemn again. It doesn't have words, but we all feel what he was trying to say.
Excellent, beautiful reaction. Your words and feelings add to the song. Thank you.
Thank you very much!! What a kind comment. This encourages me
@@rosalieelliottofficial you do a great job on them all, but this particular one really made me feel it. ❤️
Oh hey check out Noga Erez!
Thanks!
Thank you very much for your support!! 😊 it means very much
Like most I have recently experienced the loss of a loved one, this is a beautiful tribute to a friend. I believe that Ren will be counted among the greats in years to come. Did anyone else notice what looked like a butterfly at the bottom LH side at about 5.19? That was spiritual.
Glad you saw that too so special to see at that moment
Damn !!! Even without Voice , he told a Story .. What is He 😊😊😊😊😊
Not normally an artsy emotional person, but Ren............. Beautifully nails it.
So good Rosalie, I love you feel this so much, love you have intelligent and articulate input here, thank you 🙏
Is there anyone else like Ren right now? If so Point me in that direction
Respect and love toward you

Sometimes words get in the way. Music is were thoughts and emotions collide.
Ren fan here. I have watched countless reaction videos and can I just say your thoughts and words were superbly succinct. Many nails hit firmly on the head. An intelligent and well informed commentary that I have to drop a comment for. Keep sharing. ❤
Thank you very much! :)
Ren just showed us,you don't need to say anything to express a thought or feeling.A beautiful piano piece,flowing like a river with equally slow and fast in places.
feel parts of depeche mode "precious" on the instrument
I have listened about 10 times in last 24 hrs and I have cried each time. It is amazing how Ren can sing...or not and he can still evoke emotion. ❤❤ Thank you for your honesty with his beautiful music.
A reaction on International Piano Day, perfect timing. Bittersweet composition.🎹
The most sensitive emotions that we go through when someone we love passes. The notes feel like their childhood playing together.
Is it just me, or did Ren use the chords from Freckled Angels in the beginning and end? Like he did with "For Joe"? Its so beautiful, made me think of my oldest sister that has past away. She would love this, I think. 😢😢
I’m very sorry for your loss! ❤️🩹
Yes, he did.
It appears that Ren loves to link things together and it really is no accident!
Rosalie, such a beautiful reaction...tears are our truest response, yes? and bless your tears on this reaction...so real, so authentic thank you.. for being you!
How full of sadness and pain this composition is, but still filled with love. Ren is so talented, to be able to convey so much emotion in an instrumental.
A very insightful reaction, loved it.
He is speaking a language we’re all born with. You could be from anywhere in the world and feel all the emotions he’s putting out here while thinking about his friend. ‘Bitter sweet’ is an understatement of words. These sounds convey so much more than any spoken language ever could.
Thank you Rosalie. Loss is something I find so hard to deal with. Depression levels rise and my world becomes smaller. Rens music reaches out to you and fills that void. Hauntingly beautiful tribute to a very dear friend.
Ren is wearing a Sublime band sweatshirt here. For those that might not realize, their lead singer, Bradley Nowell died much too early in his late 20s, and all people could think of is how huge they could have been and how much more art they could have created. I think of Ren similarly. If he ever lost his health battle, people would always wonder what art we missed out on. I hope we never have to wonder how much more art Ren could bless the world with.
I have listened to this at least 20 times already and it says so much without any words at all the emotions it pulled from me were so deep I cant tthank him enough for doing this piece of art it is so beautiful and I resonate with it so much thanks for getting to this so quick and breaking down the way only you can. Another reason I am and forever will be your ride or die Eyyyy Ooooo thank you
I can imagine this one hits deep, Willey! Thank you for continuously being here and part of this community. :) Would not be the same without you. Truly.
Your emotions and words are so very real and true. ❤
It's pronounced like you are saying "Muck eye". Great reaction, cheers from the United Kingdom.
As a Mackay, I endorse this explanation 😂 Och aye, Muck Eye!
it sure isn't Mackie
That reminded me of the musical storytelling of Yann Tiersen. Beautiful!
I agree! Also reminded of some of The Theory of Everything and Twilight series scores by Johann Johannsson and Alexandre Desplat ✨ Incredible
It speaks to your core your soul. Your spirit. I will never forget how much of an impact Callum made in Ren's life. This is a song I will never forget. Ever!😢
Callum’s death was a tragic accident but a very brave friend also died trying to save him that day. Here’s an extract from the Coroner’s report:
“ Coroner Dewi Pritchard-Jones said: "The decision to go swimming in the conditions that prevailed that day wasn't wise.
"Although it wasn't difficult to go in the sea the problem was in getting out and the waves were such they were unable to get out safely.
"I think Callum's enthusiasm was too much for him in that he decided he was going swimming. It wasn't a wise decision.
"If he wasn't so enthusiastic he might not have jumped in. But he went in for the pleasure of swimming in such conditions and the fact he couldn't get out was a pure accident."
Mr Pritchard-Jones added: "Lewis hadn't intended to go swimming but when he realised his friend was in difficulties he stripped off and in his underpants dived in to try to save his friend."
The double inquest in Llangefni was told that Mr Darroch is to be nominated for a posthumous bravery award by the Carnegie Foundation.
Mr Mackay's father Steven said the award was "absolutely" justified.
He said: "We want to pay a huge tribute to Lewis Alan Darroch for his unstinting bravery in not even considering his own safety but just going in trying to rescue our son Callum.
"Just by a quirk of fate, a tragedy has happened.”
@@supertuscans9512Thanks for the info.
Thanks.
❤❤ #ren 🖤🖤
Simply beautiful ❤️
Beautiful, heartfelt emotion poured into a piece that can touch anyone individually in a profoundly unique and personal way. You gave an equally personal and thoughtful reaction as well, Rosalie. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
4:17 I'm crying again already
Edit: there is life after death on the other side
I hear. Beginning of life. Progression of life and finally our demise and conclusion.
For some reason, I kept thinking of the song "Right Here Waiting for You" by Richard Marx as Ren was playing. Sometimes, words are not needed to express one's heart. Ren just tugged at the heart strings of all of those who listened to him.
Love your Ren reactions alway come across real and honest.
Great reaction :-) Would love to see you react to The Big Push - Praise you...I think you will be blown away by the vocals and harmonies ;-) Enjoy your day!💚
Great review. Your very honest yet upbeat outlook is much appreciated. Keep making great videos. ❤
Loved your reaction. Thank you.
You bring up the fact that memories are what makes us and that we carry with us.That is one of the things that always gets me confused when people are saying.We must leave our Ed and ego.Because I personally believe that the id and ego of intergal part of what we would be bringing as far as the experience to the creator.
Ren’s melodies are full of soul!
I need an orchestra behind this - something 50 piece. INcredible!!
Maybe. At one point I could hear swelling strings accompanying this in my mind's ear (is there such a thing?).
But on the other hand, the stark simplicity of a single piano really allows the emotion to come through.
So put me down as 'undecided'. :o)
In any case, this is a magnificent piece.
I'd be happy with the string section from Money Game 3
Yeah, London symphony behind him would be stunning. But also agree just him and the piano is .... just beautiful
Day 284 without drinking ❤️
Beautiful, passionate, heartfelt ♥️
As always a wonderful reaction
Your attention ( and intention ) is wonderful Rosalie. You express yourself so well, with honesty, integrity and so much compassion. You have a great understanding of the depth and raw emotional power of music. Did you notice, when Ren played the bit near the end with crossing of his hands, an insect flew past - my dear friend, Shaun, taught me the huge spiritual significance of insects, as signs / messages from spirit. particularly butterflies / moths and dragon fly's. In fact Shaun dedicated a beautiful song to his still born son, Henry, and played a gorgeous version of this song in a chapel. Without going into too much personal detail, a miracle happened exactly a year later, to the day when Henry came into the world sleeping ; his son, Harry was born. Shaun and his beautiful wife, Lucy, are both convinced that a wee part of Henry is living inside Harry ( who is an unbelievably tender young man, mature beyond his years ) This is the song, I hope you enjoy : th-cam.com/video/YDbAnzgP3z8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nVNqlH2AAjzSFsKg ...... Much love Rosalie 🙏
Reminds me of River Flows in You by Yiruma. That song was played live at a funeral of a good mate. Got the same felling to it. Like it is taking you on a journey.
Love your reactions to Ren. It was such a moving piece of music and felt so raw 😔
What a beautiful reaction to this touching and stunning piece of music, When I cross the veil I would love to be met with the song playing the perfect welcoming.
You should listen to Dicodec’s reaction, also wordless like Ren’s song but he plays the guitar beautifully over the track without taking away from the original song.
Great Reaction Thank you
Beautiful piece! Sharing!
Pain & Beauty !! Very nice.. Thank you very nice and understanding reaction .❤
It's so good!
You've got the Callum pronunciation right, but Mackay is traditionally pronounced "Mc-Eye". It's a beautiful song and Ren showing us yet another side of his abilities. His skill is verging on the absurd with the range of styles he can perform.
It’s like a cross between an artist I love called Riopy with the piano work and Pink Floyd’s the great gig in the sky for using just music to convey an emotion.
I love Ren ❤
You look amazing Rosalie I have to say, I havent watched your a while. I am that English guy that we had a debate about Israel/Gaza months ago. I really value what you do
Hi Rosalie. Yes this is beautiful; it is a sad goodbye and at the same time it is comforting, healing. Wonderful.
You said in words everything i was feeling but could not say about this piece
He does everything what Dimash doesn't. The two worlds don't overlap, and Ren's world is wider.
Great response, much love 💞
Wonderful reaction Rosalie. In giving this tribute to Callum, Ren gave us all a tribute to all those we have lost. Thank you Ren
The last verse..made me think.. 'you know I'll always love you Cal' ❤
Beautiful reaction to watch. Thank you Rosalie ❤
Hey, I really love your content. I love how you connect with us based on our music and I must say, I loved this song right away and I'm so glad you did this. Thank you. 🖤
This is beautiful i would love to know if he was tempted to write words or if it was always ment to be instrumental
Yea so ominous just a great composition he pulls on heart strings
Loved your reaction Rosalie ❤🎉
Thank you!!!!
Glad to have heard this first time in this reaction video of yours Rosalie. Felt every emotion. Beautiful moment. Your gentle analysis on point as always.
Ren is a musical genius.
Hi from England 🏴 😊. Sounds like einaudi. I bet he influenced this composition. I love piano 🎹 😍 ♥️
Yes!!! Einaudi came to my mind as well while listening
@@rosalieelliottofficial shows the depth of his influences
❤
Ten consistently gets to the heart of the matter. ❤
Checkout Disco Doc's story of this song he goes in depth on Callum. Callum was also mention in the song For Joe
Beautiful song and tribute. Loved your reaction as always. If you love piano pieces like this also check out Riopy I Love You, it's stunning and there's a clip of Ren playing some of it too
Sounds like a song Adele wrote for a zelda game. It's magical. Was not even sad there were no words. Perfection
that was a great piano piece. requiem to callum. the setting made me think of being at the bottom of a sea
The more I listen to this piece, the deeper it hits. One thing that I felt was that at the end of it there seemed to be a call back to Freckled Angels which implied to me that Joe and Callum are together now.
A Special friendship that is lost will ever be remembered in this exquisite enduring piece
Well said!
@@rosalieelliottofficial With Ren comes immersion in his Totality, he carries one to a place in which it is glorious to be
I love you Rosalie!! Thanks for this reaction!
Great reaction
Simply a musical genius….
Great reaction and wonderful input ❤ thank you 😊
