You and Ren are a match made in heaven, because there is something so innocent and joyous about you both, even though you’ve been through hard things. And I love how much you sincerely love, admire, and appreciate “your brotha” Ren. There’s something about that boy that just inspires tenderness in us all, but I see people reacting to you in the same way. Keep doin’ your thing man, your positive energy truly makes you stand out among the other reactors. ❤
❤🎉😊My dear! I absolutely ADORE your style, your beautiful smile, this little sadness in your eyes, your amazing voice (you are SO talented!) and your generous, profound and intelligent analyses. Thank you for ALL your sharings and your hard work!! You have my subscription for life! Take care beautiful human! xxx❤
he has referenced at least 2 jazz players in his music so far ( or more ) Django Reinhardt ( Hunger ) and Dizzie Gillespie ( Losing it ) are you Dizzie, are you dumb .. he loves all music and incorporates every one into his music , is why us oldies love him .
Another great reaction. Thank you for sharing your experience with psych meds, as MANY of us can totally relate. I get everything you're saying, and everything this song is saying. It helps to know you're not alone, even though I wish others didn't have to deal with these issues. There is NO shame in sharing your journey. It absolutely will help someone 💜
Fantastic reaction. This is one of my very favourite songs from Ren - love the dreamy music, the guitar, both his higher & lower voice ... and the lyrics - so completely authentic.
Something so great about Ren, is how he can write such incredible music and connect so deeply with us on the subject matter, that reactors will forget and skip over how awesome the song was and go right into their experience with the narrative. That is in my opinion the ultimate compliment to a songwriter. Great Reaction!!!
I feel this so much. I take 3 different medications for ADHD and depression. If they are working correctly I can truly feel great and “normal”. When I don’t have them or they aren’t working right I just feel frantic and scattered. I have a love hate relationship!!!
Diazepam meant for short term use. Anxiety and depression usually go hand in hand. Benzodiazepines are to be avoided if you can, like Nick said to be used for emergencies.
Great reaction Dom x Thank you as always for sharing your own journey with mental health & what works for you. Definitely a jazzie/reggae vibe, REN’s ability to switch vocal genres within a track & it still works & flows is mind blowing 🤯 ❤
I can hear and see you're fighting poorliness recording this. I hope things are heading in a better direction. Your honesty and your congruent response to the song is really great to see. Mental health conversations are really important for us all. Another lovely reaction.
Great reaction ☺️ One of my absolute favourite Ren tracks, his soulful voice really draws you in and the almost psychedelic production just complements it so well. That guitar solo is amazing, you can really hear the John Frusciante influence there . ❤
Always love your thoughtful reactions. You’re so right about quitting prescribed meds. I was on an antidepressant and my doctors dropped my dosage too quickly - I wound up in the emergency room with no idea what was wrong with me. Glad you pointed that out. ❤️
I always love your Ren reaction. You so clearly love his voice and songs. Always give me the impression that you can’t help but want to sing. Plus it’s nice to see someone really appreciate his skills when it comes to singing. Especially since it seems to be forgotten a bit these days with all the rap tracks coming out. I don’t think anyone is in doubt that the man can rap rap, but sometimes we forget that he can SING too. I am not only super hyped for the release of Sick Boi but also the stuff he’s got in store for us next knowing that he is going back to more singing. Such a multitalented artist that it never gets boring.
I love this song, but the music and production are so good! Ren describes perfectly what it feels like to be on diazepam! Thank you for your reaction 😊
Xanax is way way stronger than diazapam. Believe me. Many think diazapam is for depression, but it is for anxiety and to relax the muscles in the entire body. Thank you so much for your honest reaction. 👍
Benzodiazepine are a handful of psychological meditation. From Lorazepam to Valium all are addictive but it is the most prescribed. They can be prescribed for anything from anxiety to schizophrenia. My experience on lorazepam was horrible. Especially when trying to get off it. You have to ease yourself off of it. I didn't have the option to wing myself off of it. Horrible feeling. Be cautious about taking it. It makes a lot of people worse.
I love Ren's openness about this. He says he overdoes anything that makes him feel good. Including his phone. Afmits that he is an addict. He boughr a phe safe that licked his phone for 6 hrs. during the lockdiwn. This song show his srlf awarness and strength as well as his darknrss.
Valium is the brand name of diazepam, so it's not like valium, it IS valium. And yeah it's a benzo, more geared towards anxiety relief than being an anti-depressant
great reaction the cold turkey with benzos never had an issue my self i was on 4 20 mg tezapam 4 10mg diazapam 2 10 mg nitazapam 125 mg amytripline 6 30mg dihyrocodine felt like a zombie the following day ,,had to take amphetimiines to make me normal till i topped taken them
Same here Nick. I think about the tolerance and dependency of medications. Even for sleeping I will ask for the least strength medicine. You introduced me to Ren and I’m a new fan thanks to you Nick. As with some other artists. Thanks and keep up the good work 🫶🏽.
Diazepam/valium is highly addictive, and not often prescribed anymore. This song so effectively captures the feeling it creates, both the up and down. You get it.
This song and chalk outlines made me start to taper off my anti-anxiety meds. I’d like to get it to emergency only, as well. “self-destructive healing, it’s one and the same” truth! I don’t fuck with my anti-depressants, but the anti anxiety has that cloudy chalk outline effect!! I’ve got it down .5 and going to work on going lower every month. But working closely with psychiatrist to do it! Thanks for sharing your truth. You really are one of my favs ❤
That vocal sound you are referring to is called "vocal fry." It's why so many women love Eddie Vedars voice from Pearl Jam. Just a raspy, gravely sound.
The peace of mind that exists just having xanax available cannot be overstated. I'm fortunate enough that i have avoided panic attacks long enough that my xanax has expired, but if I didnt have that bottle available, I would have had panic attacks every single day. They're a security blanket for me, so I understand exactly what you mean. It's amazing how even the instrumentation of this song reminds me of how benzos make you feel.
Hi Nick, appreciate you sharing about your journey with health and medicines. Alot of people today are going through this and are reluctant to share, but Ren, yourself and so many others have made a path, that it's ok to be. To be knowledgeable, understanding and aware of what, why, and how medicines affect us...Peace🤙☝️🤓
This song help me to UNDERSTAND SUFFERING AND let go medicament Diazepam .When I saw Ren s video I decided don t take anymore and here I am",with You, with Ren with myself "and without
Medical intervention for depression/anxiety can be very helpful, but your fears aren't unfounded. I'd talk to your doctor about them and if getting off is a good choice, consider it, or if not, see if they will give you an extra month or two for emergency use. My dr's receptionist got confused and wouldn't refill my ssri prescription unless I came in while I was on the other side of the country dealing with my father's hospice. Not ideal. It's good to have a backup plan.
I was on Diazepam for a while but it had absolutely no effect on me whatsoever so I quit; this song makes me wonder why i didn't feel what Ren obviously felt...? This was one of the few songs of his I hadn't heard yet before this reaction. Love his raspy voice on this song wow - be careful with medications, Sertraline gave me a rare form of cancer which nearly killed me because i was misdiagnosed
alprazolam or lorazepam hard diazepam are oxazepam are clonazepam or Tenuate phentermine methamphetamine Oxy-methamphetamine methylphenidate dioxideHydromorphone Dilaudid ,laudanum oxyhydomorphone Quaalude quazepam deoxy quazepam
It a good idea to have tools. To know you have them. If you are worried get more tools in your tool box. Practice using them. Than if you need them. You already there ( like muscle memory). Sorry you get panic attacks they suck. I know they come with warning. Glad you found someone & things that help you
In the UK I would hear a Reggae/Jamaican influence in the vocals of this song, which you are perhaps hearing as Jazzy distortion... I'd not overstress that, it's an influence, no more. A fair few of Ren's vocals have such a flavour, which I'm not sure how many Americans are familiar with. It might be easy for you to miss Jamaican influences in some British music. You guys never really had Ska in the same way... You might find the subject of black influences in British music interesting, as it's an alternate history to your own.
Have you tried CBT? Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? Cal/Mag is a natural supplement finally given for PTSD. I like to see people progressing so they can be free from meds.
@ThatSingerReactions I would sit in front of a white wall calmly and I'd be freaking out. Took a year of bouncing around to different doctors for a naturopath to tell me I had no magnesium in me. That (cal/mag) fixed me right up.
What I love about this song that alot of people don't pick up on is how Diazepam makes you emotionally numb and mutes your feelings when you take it. So Ren knowing this played the guitar solo like it was on Diazepam. The tone is flat and muted, there's no color or warmth to it so it doesn't make you feel good or excited when you hear it.... It's just there existing.

that raspie sound in his voice is called ' fry ' in the game i believe , Ren uses it lots to good effect , he is the master of music .
he has referenced at least 2 jazz players in his music so far ( or more ) Django Reinhardt ( Hunger ) and Dizzie Gillespie ( Losing it ) are you Dizzie, are you dumb .. he loves all music and incorporates every one into his music , is why us oldies love him .
Ren is my Diazepam. ❤

Yup..
Same here. Went for a swim and then drowned in his ocean

You and Ren are precious human beings

This is one of my favorites! Ren flexin the soulful voice in this one ❤️
Thank you. And thank you Ren. I keep seeing you doing interviews with different artists.

I loved how well you understood the meaning behind this song and appreciated all those gorgeous vocals.💕👍🦇
Dom thanks for sharing some of your story - it helps others just to normalize these conversations. Love seeing your appreciation of REN ❤
Another catchy song with a deep message.
Diazepam = Valium, a benzodiazapine used for anxiety. Highly addictive and very difficult to quit once you have a tolerance.
Diazepam meant for short term use. Anxiety and depression usually go hand in hand. Benzodiazepines are to be avoided if you can, like Nick said to be used for emergencies.
benzodiazepine is also used as a muscle relaxant
Um this is a dark one hopefully everyone who sees this is okay.
It’s weed meets heroin!! Very addictive!! Numbs you up!! But you got it from the doctor 😵💫👍🏻
This is a fantastic creation from Ren!❤
Great reaction Dom x Thank you as always for sharing your own journey with mental health & what works for you. Definitely a jazzie/reggae vibe, REN’s ability to switch vocal genres within a track & it still works & flows is mind blowing 🤯 ❤
This is one of my favorite songs!!! Everything on that demo mixtape is 🔥 ❤

One of my favourite Ren songs/videos. The guitar break in the middle is just beautiful ! Great reaction as always !
Always love your thoughtful reactions. You’re so right about quitting prescribed meds. I was on an antidepressant and my doctors dropped my dosage too quickly - I wound up in the emergency room with no idea what was wrong with me. Glad you pointed that out. ❤️
Self destructive/healing it's one in the same. That has to be so hard because it's healing, but it is also self destructive....
Another great reaction, thanks 🖤
Love how open you are and real. Love your reactions and love the little tasters of your beautiful voice.

Great reaction! Welcome to the world of Ren!
❤
I can relate also man. Appreciate ya stay gold 🙏✌️🤙
I take Lexapro too! It works like a champ!!😁😁
Over depending on meds is terrifying and* a very good point that i missed on my first listen to the song
You are a good dude man. I watch you because you get it all.
Ren is a bit like an Onion there are multiple layers and he'll often bring a tear to my eye
Sad such an amazing tune like this get so few views!!! :(
I love your reactions!

You are a joy to watch
Thanks for doing this one and sharing your own experience

Diazapam is basically the same thing as Xanax. Same effect.
Yep was gonna say the same👌🏽
Much love to you man x

Xanax is basically diazepam but xanax is even stronger and more addictive. So good choice. Loved your take on this
I took effexor and it helped. But when I felt better, and I wanted to take myself off it, bit was scary. I would get what I call brain zaps.
I take both of those myself
Zanax is a type of diazapam..... Be careful with that shit...
Gotta make sure you take it only the way your doctor prescribed it or only if needed I'm lucky on the 1mg dosage
I'm sure they were giving him large doses. I take 1mg before bed for leg pain at night.
Have you tried CBT? Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? Cal/Mag is a natural supplement finally given for PTSD. I like to see people progressing so they can be free from meds.
That was an option I remember being so cripples from the anxiety I couldn't get in a car or walk to even get to the appointments
@ThatSingerReactions I would sit in front of a white wall calmly and I'd be freaking out. Took a year of bouncing around to different doctors for a naturopath to tell me I had no magnesium in me. That (cal/mag) fixed me right up.
Ren had Lyme disease but was wrongly diagnosed and given the wrong medication.
What I love about this song that alot of people don't pick up on is how Diazepam makes you emotionally numb and mutes your feelings when you take it. So Ren knowing this played the guitar solo like it was on Diazepam. The tone is flat and muted, there's no color or warmth to it so it doesn't make you feel good or excited when you hear it....

They aint medicine bro. they drugs
