When you get past the big ones like Hi Ren, The Hunger, Sick Boi, all of the ones that really popped off. When you get by that and start digging into his older stuff, THAT'S when you truly realise that Ren is an incrediblly special artist. He's been doing this for a long time, those gems are all there, he can create some truly remarkable things.

He references his own music so often, he really is building his own universe of music, with all these intricate little connections. That in itself is beautiful. There's never been anyone like this. Everything he does has so many layers. I hope your voice gets better soon.
I love this one because with all Ren was going thru when he made this, if he can get up off the floor for round 2, I have no excuses and I haven't gone thru anything compared to Ren. Im 56 and this young man inspires me like no other.
I have watched other reactors break/review this song down. YOUR break down of this song, “Ready For You” is the BEST!! Thanks!! I love this song by REN!
This is my favorite also, and that's really saying something because I haven't found a Ren song I don't love. This one is simply gorgeous musically and vocally and the production is terrific. The theme of getting utterly flattened by physical/mental/emotional pain, then pulling yourself together and getting back up, to open up to life again. Finding unfailing solace and inspiration in music. Just wow. It feels like the story of my life in song. Really love your channel and your original content. ❤
Thank you - this was a GREAT reaction 👏🏼🙏🏼 - you have such a good ear for all the little treasures Ren puts into his songs and "Ready for you" deserves much more interest - I totally agree 😌👌🏼 it reminds me of so man's songs whenever I hear it...another MASTERPIECE (and it's called a demo 😅)
Thanks to the person who recommended this one which is one of my favorite songs and doesn't get as much love! I just love how Ren communicates such human feelings and emotions in this song using beautiful poetic metaphors. But he seems to do that in every song! This could well end up in a movie! I also love how in one song Ren manages to combine so many styles of music 🎶 He really is a musical genius ! Thank you Anthony for your reflections which are 💯 %!❤
Thank you for having played this twice; it's a pleasure to spend this time with you and this song is just such an enjoyment in and of itself. Definitely here for this
In my experience, my favourite Ren song changes daily. I'll make a prediction - your favourite Ren song will be the next different one you listen to. At least that isa what I found lol.
I love this song so very, very much! It shows the tremendous courage and resilience he has had throughout almost his entire life and still has. And the vocals are crrrazy! 🔥❤️
The man is a savant. The combination of his willingness to to just tinker and try things in his production and his intuitive knowledge of his voice as a multifaceted instrument all on its own makes every thing he touches dimonds.
great reaction to a strong lyrical song i always have enjoyed your reactions anthony. ❤ Ren is definitely a genius musically. to be honest i can see that with what you said by being able to a song on a bond movie. i agree this song has an amazing hook. fire is completely 🔥 losing it is one of my favorites
I had never heard rap in my life. I came to your channel through Ren and I stayed. People like him and like you make me appreciate this new genre in my life. I really like your videos and your music. Greetings from Argentina
God, I'm falling...Ren is genius, so much thought was put into this song. Great animation, music, lyrics, and vocals. I hope Ren sees this reaction...👊☝️🖼☝️🎇🤓
This is lovely and does have a bluesy/jazzy feel. (The song Daydream was originally by The Lovin' Spoonful in '66, but has been covered by a lot of folks.)
Can you imagine being asked to compile a 40 Greatest Hits album for Ren, which ones could you possibly leave out? I just love this one, but there are so many that grow and grow on you. Love your reaction.
This is an awesome song. Definite blues vibes. It really does have a Bond movie sound to it. I am REALLY enjoying watching you discover each new Ren song. Each one seems to showcase a different combination of skills and talents. Looking forward to seeing your next step in your journey.
Hey! Great commentary! I love how you broke this song down. It’s one of my favorites too. I have seen a lot of your reaction videos but can’t recall if you have done, “Pocket Full of Pain.” It deals with suic* ideation like Ren’s latest releases, but it has a hopeful and positive message, like Ready for You. The song reminds me of Sublime for some reason. I think you will enjoy it.❤
Great break down! Love the little morsels of wisdom you impart to us about rap rhymes. Check out Precious by the Big Push either official video or even better the live on stage version please. Ren features as the lead on this and it’s an awesome and heartfelt song. Thank you again.
I first heard this when i did a deep dive, a few months ago and it's my PERSONAL favorite. I think this and ocean's are beyond slept on. His lyrical catalog is extensive and if you close your eye's and open your heart, it honestly feels like you're the lyrics that he's saying. The metaphors are incredibly intricate and speak to me on such a deep level. He has the ability to connect with his viewer's and take you on a journey through his songs and i love it so much. Amazing reaction as always, Anthony.
If you want more singing…Demos Vol 1, Demos Vol 2, Freckled Angels albums, plus various singles in-between. He’s been putting out music for years. It’s ALL good.
Daydream in Blue by I Monster is the song you’re thinking of. Assuming your familiar with the early 2000’s lo-fi version, rather than the 60’s original. It’s a great tune
I have to agree with you bro this tune was by far his best musically. The hook is so catchy and the whole overall vibe is so smooth. Ren has surprised me so many times since Hi Ren I cant even imagine how much of an impact he will make as he continues. Thanks for finding this gem
Totally missed the Daydream In Blue by I Monster influence. I got a bit of Portishead vibe from it as well. I am finding it difficult to pick my favorite Ren song as there so many great ones as dive in deeper to his catalog.
Great review. Thank you. I live this song as well. I'll check your list, but wondered if you have done the acoustic version of Genesis? Since, like me, you enjoyed the Animal Fliw acoustic. The Genesis one has all the rawness of Ren a foot away from the camera on a rooftop.
I lost count of the rounds in my life and these words are so true, as someone who has 3 major medical diagnoses since I was a young kid (now 40) it’s so true how time keeps going and what I’m feeling right then will change if I give it some time
Love this 1, but Pocket full of pain is 1 of my absolute favorite songs by Ren!! You should definitely check that 1 out!! Also, you are beyond talented yourself my guy!! Much love! ❤️✌️
It's funny because this recently became my favourite Ren track also. I think a combination of the epic (yes Bondesque backing track) and fighting lyrics do it for me...I think this would make an epic set opener when Ren performs live again (ready for round 2 indeed)!
I have a good friend who has had a very successful career as a session guitar player ( Lily Allen / Mika / Sophie Ellis Bextor / Kylie Minogue ... mostly pop stuff ) He is a lovely lad and an exceptional guitar player with a beautiful tone and awesome touch BUT he astounded me when he said he didn't get all the fuss about Ren." I just don't get it - he's very average " were his words. I am sending him your breakdowns, Anthony, as you spell it out perfectly for the uninitiated in the art of lyrical genius. You are great brother 🙏
Anthony as you know REN has been doing this for many years. Many of his songs were written while he was sick. He started producing his own music at the age of ten years old.
When you get past the big ones like Hi Ren, The Hunger, Sick Boi, all of the ones that really popped off. When you get by that and start digging into his older stuff, THAT'S when you truly realise that Ren is an incrediblly special artist.
He's been doing this for a long time, those gems are all there, he can create some truly remarkable things.
Especially stuff he wrote for Sony, because he was basically a kid then. The stuff stands up. I’m grateful they gave him the rights to release them.
All the stuff on the "Trick the Fox" channel from 10+ years ago is solid too.

"When half your life is spent with death, you do not fear the reaper."
That single line holds so much information in it that it's ridiculous.
Evey song on Demos Vol 1 and Vol 2 are THIS GOOD!!!! His hip hop/rap songs are awesome. But this type of music is the pinnacle of his art IMO.
I was about to comment the same thing. Both these albums are being slept on and they’re filled with gems. Great reaction, as always 😊
I love this one because with all Ren was going thru when he made this, if he can get up off the floor for round 2, I have no excuses and I haven't gone thru anything compared to Ren. Im 56 and this young man inspires me like no other.

I freaking love your reactions when you really love what you're hearing 💜
Me too. He's got to be one of the most genuine; he really feels it.
And I'd personally love to hear his singing voice 👌

Ahhh thanks to whomever put this request in. It is so criminally slept on. It’s a f&@*ing choooooon!!! Love your reaction as always!! 🙌
Agreed! I go looking for this because I don’t see it often and it’s such a great song!
My pleasure 😊
One of my favorites!!!!
YES! Great reaction! More older Ren please! Try Everybody drops

This is true. 💯%
Facts....
thank you Anthony for continuing to react and supporting my favourite artist ever I also love your music too ❤❤❤
You have a singing voice you just have to trust it. Chris Lieppe has some great advice and videos on it. Brilliant teacher.
I love this song so very, very much! It shows the tremendous courage and resilience he has had throughout almost his entire life and still has. And the vocals are crrrazy! 🔥❤️
Great reaction as always... this song doesn't get enough love 💕
The man is a savant. The combination of his willingness to to just tinker and try things in his production and his intuitive knowledge of his voice as a multifaceted instrument all on its own makes every thing he touches dimonds.
Thank you for getting to this! The lyrics are 🔥 Glad you loved it too! ❤️
Check out his track Hold On, that was the first thing I heard of Ren and still 1 of my favourites.
I love all the tracks on his Demos albums and this one is no exception. Have you done Diazepam yet? If not, I reckon you’d love it. One of his best
great reaction to a strong lyrical song i always have enjoyed your reactions anthony. ❤ Ren is definitely a genius musically. to be honest i can see that with what you said by being able to a song on a bond movie. i agree this song has an amazing hook. fire is completely 🔥 losing it is one of my favorites
Thanks for doing this one - its a fantastic song and deserves more hits! Always love your Ren reactions, thank you!
Brilliant ❤ your reactions
1 of My favourite ren songs ❤🤘🤘 rens always on repeat
Beautiful song and a great reaction, as always and if you like this one, you will love Heretic …….❤
The one I’ve been waiting for, it’s an absolute banger!
This song is incredible.
Great reaction, this is my *favorite* song of his and your breakdown hit all the things I love about it. Satisfying watch, thanks man.
Great breakdown dude 🔥👌🤘
Finally another reactor has found Ready For You… if Ed Sheeran released this it would be a #1 hit record I reckon… this is great… all the vocal runs 🔥
Yo!! Finally.. One of my favs...
I had never heard rap in my life. I came to your channel through Ren and I stayed. People like him and like you make me appreciate this new genre in my life. I really like your videos and your music. Greetings from Argentina
Birds flying high you know how I feel is definitely a good comp for this song. #MelancholyBlues
Amy vibes definitely... I never thought of that.
Thank you Anthony. Always enjoy watching your videos
I’m wondering what will be your impression when you’ll get to hear and see “Crutch” from the same Ren❤
God, I'm falling...Ren is genius, so much thought was put into this song. Great animation, music, lyrics, and vocals. I hope Ren sees this reaction...👊☝️🖼☝️🎇🤓

So nice to watch this with you - I feel the same about it!! 😁❤️
First time hearing this one. I'm really liking it. Great reaction too, Anthony 👍🏻
👌Could be my favorite too❤,it’s hard with Ren to decide but this one hits hard
This is an awesome song. Definite blues vibes.
It really does have a Bond movie sound to it.

Thanks for this one, its fantastic - got some amazing lyrics as well as being catchy!
Very nice breakdown of this masterpiece! This CD (demo's) has been in my truck player for weeks. Start my morning on the way to work with this song!
Daydream in Blue by I Monster is the song you’re thinking of. Assuming your familiar with the early 2000’s lo-fi version, rather than the 60’s original. It’s a great tune
Now that is what I call a reaction, well done man
Oh man, another incredible track! "You've unleashed a sleeping beast!" gives me a boost every time
I have to agree with you bro this tune was by far his best musically. The hook is so catchy and the whole overall vibe is so smooth. Ren has surprised me so many times since Hi Ren I cant even imagine how much of an impact he will make as he continues. Thanks for finding this gem
Portishead Glory Box!!! THAT'S what it reminds me of! That's was driving me CRAZY. But yes, Daydream as well. Love you guys! ❤
Lupe Fiasco's Daydreamin' was the second song you were thinking of.
Loved the reaction to one of my favourite songs.
This song is a lyrics beast 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤯
I love this song. I'm glad you discovered it and reviewed it.
It’s so good!! His singing voice always surprises me because I don’t think I’d speak regular words again if I sounded like that lol
I love this song! Thank you for reacting to it!!
Wow, I've listened to this many times. Thanks for pointing stuff out! ❤
Totally missed the Daydream In Blue by I Monster influence. I got a bit of Portishead vibe from it as well. I am finding it difficult to pick my favorite Ren song as there so many great ones as dive in deeper to his catalog.
REN is a genius, golden soul, someone like him comes once in a generation. I love him soooo much ❤
Thanks for this. It’s become my fav too because of this reaction.
Yes! I love your Ren reactions ❤
I LOVE this song. 💛💛💛
Great review. Thank you. I live this song as well.
I'll check your list, but wondered if you have done the acoustic version of Genesis? Since, like me, you enjoyed the Animal Fliw acoustic. The Genesis one has all the rawness of Ren a foot away from the camera on a rooftop.
Thanks for increasing my love for this song which I thought impossible and making me laugh
Thanks for teaching us! 😁
this is my favorite Ren track for sure. fucking love it
Great breakdown of the song brother, awesome insight. Not sure if anyone else dove into this song, good job! Love your music too!
such a great reaction. keep it up, and keep making your own music as well. thumbs up brother.
Not seen many reactions to this one, love watching your reaction 🫶
that was so good brother. nice break down love your technical ear.
Love this so empowering!
I lost count of the rounds in my life and these words are so true, as someone who has 3 major medical diagnoses since I was a young kid (now 40) it’s so true how time keeps going and what I’m feeling right then will change if I give it some time
14:00 Bro, he’s waking us all up too. Get creating your expression and honey and lemon will get you high.❤
Great reaction.. you're one of the best. My fav right now by Ren is Penitence
Great reaction! Really informative. My favourite Ren song is nearly always the last one I heard 💕
Love this 1, but Pocket full of pain is 1 of my absolute favorite songs by Ren!! You should definitely check that 1 out!! Also, you are beyond talented yourself my guy!! Much love! ❤️✌️
Love this! I enjoyed it best when I closed my eyes so I could focus!
This is a favorite of mine too. Ren is a force of nature, which he stated in another favorite - Heretic.
That was fun to watch ❤❤❤
Thanks man ❤
James Bond ...spot on !
It's funny because this recently became my favourite Ren track also. I think a combination of the epic (yes Bondesque backing track) and fighting lyrics do it for me...I think this would make an epic set opener when Ren performs live again (ready for round 2 indeed)!
The opening sample I think is from Daydream in Blue by I Monster.

Love your breakdowns bro, big fan of yours, would love to see you and Ren chat sometime ❤
Right???? my new fav for several months now. wow!!
God job, Ray! Really god. Thank you!
Really great honest reaction. Fun to watch you admire appreciate and explain. Try Heretic yet?
I think I come back to this track more than any Ren song...its so good
Anthony as you know REN has been doing this for many years. Many of his songs were written while he was sick. He started producing his own music at the age of ten years old.
Love this song! ❤
Beautiful song!!
Massive attack or tricky vibes, pure trip hop style.
One of my favorite! Good reaction!
Yet another gem
I love this! ❤
