YT did a special premium after party thing for this song. I think YT is letting this go because Ren got to be successful through TH-cam (you know aside from also having massive amounts of talent) and that's great PR for the company.
I’ve watched this video 100 times, and although a few reactors have commented on the trigger safety thing, no one else has had to block out the whole video once he’s picked up the gun.
Yes, that's Ren playing piano at the beginning! He also composed the music for piano and strings! He directed the video and produced the music/audio. It was recorded live but it's not quite 1 take. They had to make a single edit, before the water, for obvious reasons. Yet another incredible performance from Ren! Overall, an absolute masterpiece... again! :)
@MissRobinHansen No, he said he did play the intro, and composed the rest, although he couldn't play all of it and had a classically trained player do it. He said he could hear it in his head but couldn't play all the parts. But the opening was Ren playing.
@MH-by6kt you're right! I went back and rewatched. I remembered him talking about not having the technical capacity and that he had help. But when I rewatched, I caught that he said he practiced a lot to do it.
TH-cam Music put the section with the violin players on a billboard in the US to advertise the album. Rolling Stone Magazine published an album breakdown and NME released a 30 minute interview. He made it.
Came back to see if you added a comment since your prediction about this vid being one of his ‘least viewed’… it’s currently at 4M and counting. Didn’t see where you updated in the comments..
I don't know on your assessment about the views. This is already at 1.5 million after 6 days. For reference, Murderer is only at 1.9 million after 2 months. Su!cIde is at 1.9 million after 4 months, and Animal Flow is at 2.2 million after 5 months. So unless the views for this just fall off of a cliff because of the algorithm, this has a chance to at least be his biggest song in the last 6 months. Even if it only gains another 700 thousand views or more. Beyond that is Sick Boi, 8 months ago with 4.5 million views, and Hi Ren 10 months ago with 20 million views. I don't know if it has that kind of steam and I don't think he cares. I don't either. I'm just enjoying watching him push himself as an artist and staying true to his vision. As long as he does that, I'll keep showing up.
I've seen a ton of reactions to this and you are the only one that covered up the final scene so I don't think they are going to go around deleting a bunch of channels (especially if they let Ren leave the original video up), but respect for playing it safe.
damn, it was not youtube you censored yourself, the other reactors have all shown the whole thing. You were the only reactor have seen, and I have watched a hell of a lot of them and you were the only one who was cowardly enough to censor this video
IKIGAI, dude. The sweat spot, our right place in life - is the intersection of 4: what we love doing, what we're good at, what the world needs, and what ppl are willing to pay for.
Yea they took it out of trending but it doesn’t matter because it’s got almost a million views.. It suck’s TH-cam has to penalize everyone for the content people view.. just goes to show that nobody can parent themselves.. TH-cam and other similar platforms have to parent everyone for them.. Ren is a Genius and we must protect him at all costs.. The world needs him.. Great reaction as always!
Always a great reaction! Thank you. Oh, and at the time of typing the official video has had over 214,000 views, over 36,000 likes and generated 6,935 comments, all in 14 hours. Not doing bad.
I love everything that you do. Truly! IMO A huge disservice To the Art At the price Of a guideline... I totally understand but, Big brother will never feel the push of dissent, If all it hears is compliance Through the Pitter patter Of tippy toes! Again thank you for everything you do. Looking forward to your next drop.
watched a lot of your Ren reactions.. not usually an issue but you have major Audio issues on this one as others have said its clipping and distorted (im on headphones good ones at that ) not only that not so sure you need to worry about the last scene if it breaks guidelines then there is much worse out there which is still on show !
The audio on this one was terrible for sure. Nothing that can be fixed now of course but hopefully he figured out what went wrong for future videos as it was a painful listen to a great song.
I think he does those things because he cares... if he didn't care he would peddle some mainstream shit because he has skills and could be huge mainstream singer
You need to watch to watch Part 1 & 2 appreciate this fully. And to know this isn't just gratuitous violence for the sake of it (Ren's above that. That's not how he gets his kicks). This is wholly acceptable in the parametors of the story and as a piece of art.
Love how he’s talking to all the billionaires watching! “You took advantage of someone, you did! You absolutely did!” Come on any billionaires watching, prove him wrong! lol! Another great reaction to another great Ren song! 👍
@@GenericThomas I was joking around! If you listen back to how he said it, it sounded like he was talking directly to them & it made me chuckle! That’s all.
Wonderful reaction man. I always love your in-depth insights and observations! (small heads-up: somewhere in your setup the sound of the video goes in the red or something, I hear a layer of clipping/distortion on it. It should be something that is relatively easy to fix)
Ren should really really consider taking his work to the West End or even Broadway.....I'm sure it would be amazing on the stage as almost everything he does is a work of art performance
I think he's well known enough now that it doesn't really matter about the algorithms. Look at how many people are creating reaction videos to his content. Although some of the content may be on the edge of community guidelines, he is still speaking the truth and people like that and share what he does. Always enjoy your analogy of his songs.
You are refreshing. Thank you for allowing us to bother you and big ups for seemingly figuring out how to not let our current landscape of whatever the flip social media is evolving or devolving the collective "us" into, effect or affect you. Detrimentally? Not sure if this vid is after the audio adjustments but it sounds double amped or double eq'd.
ren is bold af, he be like nah i dont care i'll do it anyways because IT MEANS SOMETHING, IT MEANS THE TRUTH. the world (syst**) is tryna hide the truth and keep us living in this matrix bs.
This is a great react. Ren's new album slaps and I strongly recommend. I'm really interested in what you said about knowing by 30 what your parents are really like. I think for the most part? You're right. But for some? It's not so easy. It depends on programming and how their brain works. I mostly wanna gently remind everyone that no two people have exactly the same series of experiences, that occur in exactly the same ways. I think that's ok too. Often with people in the positions of Jimmy, are very under developed neurologically. It's sad really. The world just makes me sad. It's one of the least viewed cause it literally came out on the 12th of October. It's 4 days old.
Love the song, amazing story. Appreciate your reaction. 11hrs and 185k views at present time. Respect to you, Ren, Samual and Square Sun Studios for the production. All amazing !!
Interestingly enough this song is trending really well for Ren and I think it’s possible he completely bypasses the limits of the algorithm
I’ve seen some pretty unhinged content on TH-cam that gets millions of views easily. I think TH-cam just doesn’t like some people.
1.3 million views and counting :)
2 million + now

This man is a musical genius and has an incredible ability to tell stories that deal with real problems in this world. Major respect.
‘He doesn’t care’ (what other people think..) Ren is unfiltered and raw, also considered and thoughtful-we need more of this in the world
Actually I find he does care, but it doesn't let it stop him. Subtle difference imo
@@DenTweedYes, agreed 👍
I’ve watched this video 100 times, and although a few reactors have commented on the trigger safety thing, no one else has had to block out the whole video once he’s picked up the gun.
Only reactor that blocked that last part. All others reactors have shown the full vid with no problems 😉😊

The intro (the first part he played), is a classical composition, not one he wrote.
@@TwistedSisler Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious, lol. 🙂
@@Codex7777 You're welcome! And good job liking your own comment! 😂
The fact that Ren could create, perform (both musically and visually) and produce something like this is boggling. He really is in his own genre.
You didn't have to hide the end.
Coming here 6 months later and it is absolutely fascinating that as of the writing of this comment that video has 5.7 million views.
This is one of his most popular songs.
TH-cam Music put the section with the violin players on a billboard in the US to advertise the album. Rolling Stone Magazine published an album breakdown and NME released a 30 minute interview. He made it.

Ought to review Disney songs then if he scurred
@@mattcoffee1269You would be to if it was your livelihood
By the way, this is his most viewed song, it's real.
Don't b'é so scared, fear will kill you.
Guideline for the community: education.

"We must be better simply because the option exists." - Ren
I get so engulfed in Rens stories that when the song ends, I'm like 'thats it?!?!' I need more!!!
Fastest 9 minutes song ever!!!!
I believe your prediction of this being "one of his least viewed songs" was off by a long shot.
Def not gonna be least viewed! Barely a day, and it has over half a million views!
I love how Ren is completely raw and does not care for guidelines etc. he will do what he needs to do to get his message across.
TH-cam music is promoting it on billboards. 🎉
You need to see Parts 1 and 2 This completes the trilogy
Balzac wrote "Behind every great fortune lies a great crime".
Always. 💯
Every single time. Even when it's not obvious, all it takes is a little digging, and you'll uncover the rot.
187,000 views in 11 hours....not so sure it will stay hidden on TH-cam long
524k in 24 hours.
100% spot on about no billionaire that hasn't taken advantage of someone. That's just how resource hoarding works.
I see the "father" as a metaphor for greed.
This will not be his least viewed video. Genius can not be suppressed! I appreciate you MRLBOYD!!
I think the song is about a boy that only wants his dad’s approval and never gets it, once his dad is dead he can never get what he always wanted.
I wish it wasn’t covered up. It is an amazing story with an important message. Ren is a genius!
IKIGAI, dude. The sweat spot, our right place in life - is the intersection of 4: what we love doing, what we're good at, what the world needs, and what ppl are willing to pay for.
If you thought that his solution was to unalive, then you don't know Ren
Ren is playing. Self taught
I'm giving a thumbs up because I specifically like this specific kind of content. Much love MrLBoyd!
Yea they took it out of trending but it doesn’t matter because it’s got almost a million views..

There are Ren billboards on US and UK TH-cam headquarters today celebrating the Sick Boi album release. This will not be his least viewed video.
Always a great reaction! Thank you. Oh, and at the time of typing the official video has had over 214,000 views, over 36,000 likes and generated 6,935 comments, all in 14 hours. Not doing bad.
Wow. Those views and likes figures are way out now after just 4 hours. Views are now 327,000. Likes are 41,000 and there are now 7,460 comments.
Over half a million views in the first day, but he does not care about numbers statistics and stats 😊
As an independent artist, screw youtube! You may consider showing the whole video once a couple weeks go by.
I get where you're coming from, but his views on this video are already almost at 500k, higher than some of his content from the last few months.
So glad you are here for the ren releases. Keep doing what you doing sir!
It’s one of his most viewed in shortest times from what I can see so far. 250k views in 16hrs

Sickboi album has just been released its pure art
I swear I get Lin Manuel Miranda in this song. Which really makes me want to see a musical made by Ren and company.
I see Ren I click.

As of now, he’s #2 in the UK charts just behind Rick Astlley. Let’s get REN to #1!! 💜💜🔥🔥
Don’t let Ren get Rick Rolled.
He didn't get rolled he topped the chart in the UK Album chart
@@ricci8497 yayyyyyy🎉🎉 I’m so happy 😁💜💜

You're the ONLY reactor that did that....js
Sound design is genius! You can hear Ren’s foot come off the piano pedal as he stands up! @renmakesmusic
This will definitely be one of his biggest watched art pieces a masterpiece! Love you man great reaction!
Ren should really really consider taking his work to the West End or even Broadway.....I'm sure it would be amazing on the stage as almost everything he does is a work of art performance
He is working on a deal with Netflix

I was waiting for you since the premiere 🙂 Thank you for getting on this one so quickly ❤
Sometimes it feels like it goes over your head mate
I think he missed the importance of one of the main points, but maybe that's just me.
2.1 Million views now. 😉
How can a channel like DemolitionRanch shoot all day long but he can't show his finger on a trigger!?!?!
Safe trigger management, and will pass for instructional. Also have seen him put a gun to his head once 🤷🏾♂️
Rain, rain rain rain, a storm it comes our way..
And those who rise through distorted lies….
A real man does not rewrite his story or change his art so it will fit RULES thank God we have Ren.
Great reaction, love this album so far. Note: May have just been me, but there was some minor distortion on the audio.
No I had to check my headphones too. It was on his end
Yes, and it was a definite distortion, not Minor but still loved The reaction... As always 🫶
Might have been on purpose to avoid copyright claims. I haven't listened to enough of his other music content to tell for sure.
Ren doesnt push copyright claims and he knows that by now 🧐
@@levi-aija1819 doesn't mean it's not still a good idea from the creators perspective to do it on all videos regardless as a precaution.
Thank you, Mr. Boyd. I love your reviews .
seen dozens of reactions, not a single one had the ending covered.. not a single one of them was taken down or delisted...
I'll throw it on repeat to keep the views up if i have to. Awesome video. Great album ❤

It looks like 190k views so far today. Let’s see where it goes from here.
If you'll note..... he never actually racked the slide. The hammer falls...... on an empty action 😉
Yup, and the screen blacked out before he pulled the trigger. He thought of everything, and I think he’d win at an appeal if it was removed.

9 minutes 19 seconds of ren feels like 2 minutes and when it ends, it's like oh man don't finish I Need another 10 minutes 😂 ❤
The storytelling in this song is hugely reminiscent of 'The River Runs Deep' by TomPepe

100's of youtubers have reacted and shown the ending of the video already and theirs was never banned 🤷♂️
Oh man you put a banner up!!! Almost 600,000 views now on the original! I respect it, but ahhhh!
why bow to the you tube lords, don't lose my respect, this was art.
3:40 What you're saying here is to essentially foster a sane sense of "enough".
Did you react to part 1 and 2? I can't find the videos. I think the progression through the 3 songs is an important context.
