- For my first music reaction on this channel I'm doing Hi Ren by Ren. I've seen this everywhere in the last few weeks and thought it would be perfect for my first reaction and WOW. Absolutely mind blowing talent by @RenMakesMusic . Never heard anything like this in my life and it's so hard to articulate feelings.
Thank God for the internet and giving people a voice and a platform.
Now I need to check his other stuff.
Leave a comment suggesting what I should react to next. Any genre, any time period.

*Ren Erin Gill (born 29 March 1990), known professionally as Ren, is a Welsh musician, singer-songwriter, rapper, poet, producer, busker, and multi-instrumentalist. He was a member of the indie hip-hop band Trick The Fox and The Big Push, a British busking band based in Brighton. He has collaborated with Sam Tompkins, Eden Nash, and CHINCHILLA and supported Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly on tour.
Ren is an independent artist. In 2022, Ren released "Hi Ren". The video went viral and appeared in both the United Kingdom and Worldwide Trending Music Video Charts on RUclips, and had 6.8 million views in two months. The next three songs Ren released, "Sick Boi", "Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve Retake)", and Illest of Our Time, also appeared in the United Kingdom's Trending Music Video Chart on RUclips. Ren was invited to play at Glastonbury 2023, film festivals, and other major UK summer music festivals.
I feel like I should have taken a moment at the end before saying anything but at that moment I had no idea how to describe how I felt.
I get it. I've seen Hi Ren everywhere. Finally I took the time to watch a reaction vid a month ago. Been a fan since!🔴🔴🔴🔴
I LOVED your reaction!! It was said all over you!👍👍😊😊❤❤
Nice one 😊
Interesting fact: Ren caught lime disease from a Japanese tick.
Ren reaches every emotion, that every human goes through. Life's not easy, life's hard. I've battled chronic illness for years and feel more understood by listening to Ren, than I have any medical person. ❤ Definately listen to Jenny, Screech & Violet, but he's an amazing rapper too, try Hunger, Genesis xx Its hard to listen to anyone else after Ren. 😊
Isn't it just incredible. I've never watched so many people brought to such emotion by a piece of music/art.
i played video for my mens peer support group and it took a ong silence befire anyone could talk then the openss of the conversation was very deep. this lads done the world a service.
Yes, I showed it to staff at a day program I go to. One staff wants to do a group class using this and some of his other songs to start dialogue on really tough issues. I am so excited about it. Ren will help heal us! I truely believe that.
That's amazing
You are genuine man. This is my favorite reaction so far. What you said was accurate but seeing you feel it made me believe what you said. This song is about me.
Welcome to our world (never too late) sweaty sock lol. Great reaction ! Follow it up and watch the subs follow you. Its a better ride than you can imagine
Thanks for the reaction, Mate. You're spot on with your observations.
Most of us feel the same way after hearing this.. Thank you
You couldn't have started with a better piece. Welcome to the Ren-naissance. 🙂
🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥 #Ren
We see you. It's all good. Thsnks fir reacting and supporting Ren
Honest reactions are the best.
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction 🙏
Ren is a very versatile ARTist and well worth going down the rabbithole... I'll join gladly ✌️
Sick Boi might be a good follow-up 😉
All the feels. Ren leaves everybody speechless.
Absolutely
Welcome to Rens beautifully twisted universe.
Welcome to the Ren Rabbithole 🐇🕳 Make yourself comfortable, buckle up, be prepared not to be prepared for Rens songs...ever 😂
There are dozens of tracks to chose from and it doesn't ever get boring. Have fun and soread positivity 🙌🏻
Love your reaction from the heart Now you have to do more Ren video reaction. Welcome to the rabbit hole my friend 😀
Welcome to the RENaissance, a home for the lost and broken; enjoy the ride
If you want to dive more into the rap side of his catalogue, I'd start with "What You Want" which is a brilliant homage to the Beasties, followed with "Genesis" followed by "Sick Boy" followed by "Illest of Our Time" (this one goes after the previous one so you have some grasp of the meaning) and the trail goes from there
For more ... Rock(?) fare... Follow the breadcrumbs to The Big Push ... and dive in (I personally suggest Sweet Little Lady, Swan Song, Englishman in New York, and the cherry on top ... I Shot The Sherriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop)
Last but not least, don't be afraid to check down the alleys, Ren has built himself a circle of talented musician friends that will surprise you and make you glad you chose to look for hidden treasure.
Thank you. The RENaissance, I like that
Nice reaction; I think you just might be a true Scotsman...:)
100% Highlander
Yes - those voices that feed cripplingly insecurities is right. Your reaction was spot on. Hi Ren is the most honest piece of art I think I've ever seen, heard, experienced. For me, Ren has touched that part of our being that is so vulnerable we don't want anyone to know it. And then he goes and says it's okay.
Such a range of emotions
HI REN - Voices #music #scottish #ren #reaction
welcome to the Ren train you wont be disappointed ❤
His talent is really remarkable - best find in ages
Enjoy the journey with this special talent mate ..from a fellow Scotsman from Glasgow :)
Enjoyed that thank you 🏴 try Chalk outlines- Ren and Chinchilla
It is incredible the impact of this video, this song. So many emotions stirred up all at once. What gets me every time I hear this song, I know how the song made me feel, like a real, very real experience. Then I realize, it was all from one guy, just vocals and a guitar, and two lamps that would flicker here and there. There's not even drums, he does that on guitar as he plays. That is real talent for one guy to cause such an experience....
We've seen it and heard it a few times before in niche artists but never done this well or broad, he takes it to the heights of the battle of good and evil and meets it with the duality of man, using himself as the center point. Regardless of it been done before or if the multilayered themes are by design or not, it's artistic genius. Can't wait to see where Ren will take himself and his talent in the next few years.
You don't need to put your video in mirror view. Ren welcomes reactors!😊
Scotsman reacts to Welshman🏴🏴. An expected emotional reaction. We all get it and you are not alone.
Thank you my friend
This is, from start to finish, the most relatable song I've ever heard in my lifetime. A visceral, mind-boggling punch right in the head, heart, and soul, ending with a powerful, resonating, and enduring message of inspiration and hope ❤️🔥❤️🩹
Great Reaction!
Here is some additional information on Ren's story that I gathered from old newspaper interviews, articles, and Ren's livestreams and posts where he discussed his condition. Ren Erin Gill is a British musician/independent artist; born in Wales on March 29, 1990; he eventually moved to Brighton. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, Ren began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. In 2010, he was signed by Sony Records and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue and subsequently dropped by Sony.
Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led him to experience psychosis and develop PTSD. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure.
Ren is currently in Calgary, Canada for more treatments, including surgeries, and will have to be there for at least six months (Summer of 2023) undergoing IV and other interventions five days a week. Ren recently underwent wisdom tooth removal and cavitation surgery. In addition, his Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD), which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, adrenals as well as his bones/joints. Now, Ren is receiving additional treatments for this previously undiagnosed condition.
Let's keep supporting Ren as he undergoes his treatments. Check out and subscribe to his channel, if you are a content creator, ask your audience to subscribe to Ren. Listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to the world, and his work is important in these troubling times. Someone has finally created a Wikipedia page for Ren, so there is additional information available.
Here is the link to Ren’s GoFundMe page to raise money for his current treatment. Ren has exceeded his initial goal. However, his goal was very conservative and did not reflect the added costs of unforeseen surgical procedures, and treatment for additional health issues such as MCAD. www.gofundme.com/f/ren-get-better-from-lyme-disease-and-autoimmunity
@Jens Randolff Jens, you're awesome... do you know that? 🤗
@@Budini67 Lol. Thank you kindly. I know lots of people who would disagree with you, but I take the compliment. Bless you. ☺
Thank you for sharing your genuine reaction. Ren is quite a ride. Pain, fun, beauty and truth await you. You might like the live version of Genesis. It's raw but perfectly controlled. Ren always provides a paradox and rarely disappoints. I haven't listened to anything else since I stumbled across him.
Nice reaction buddy. Please delve mor down REN’s rabbit hole. There is no genre he cannot cover. He produces a lot of his own music as well as writing and performing them.
I plan to do much more
Ren from nwa. I have to give props for that one. Made me smile and I don't smile much.
I’ve had those voices during crippling bouts of physical and mental illness and I’ve had them in everyday living. The everyday living ones for me are when Ren sings about that voice being there to “manage expectations” and “provide perspective.” At different times I’ve thought of that voice as common sense, but it’s also held me back, helped me rationalize not taking chances. Great reaction! New sub from the Midwest of US.
It would be a different world if people listened to that voice a little less and were more willing to take risks and fail.
I love watching Hi Ren reactions so much. It is really a breath of fresh air in a world that is downing in divisive and hateful rhetoric. He has done such an amazing job of boiling down the human condition to something that every human can relate to. So powerful.
Great start on your new reaction channel. I enjoy your reaction style and I'll definitely be back. Good luck from California!!
I don't know how I missed this one G. I love Ren's music, so glad you enjoyed it too. Yep, he is a genius.
*I’ve watched 80+ reactions so far and yours is in my top ten. Great job not pausing it every 15 seconds like most*
*reactors do. They try to show how smart they are and explain something that absolutely needs no explaining whatsoever*
*React to some more Ren he’s the Swiss Army knife of music*
Thank you my friend
It's so powerful. Just awesome.
Hit Rens Retake of Fishers "Losing It" you'll love it.
Thanks mate
fantastic man, thank you
What a genuine reaction. 🙏🥰
Yooo geo.. Nice reaction, big fan of ren and love seeing new rations to his stuff.. But I'll throw you a curveball.. Should check out the teskey brothers song called rain.. But tbh will keep an eye out for your reactions n see what other ones you do ☺
Great reaction!
I had the exact same reaction when I first watched this, it fuckin shocked me man, may or may not have shed a brief tear. Didn’t even really know why.
The extended arms were everything ❤
Thank you for your very human reaction. You were visibly moved, like me, every time I listen to it.
I’m about 3 months in to having found Ren and have not listened or watch much else since. He evokes all the feelings you mentioned. Every time I watch Hi Ren it makes me feel a different way each time. Thanks for your honesty about your insecurities when you were younger- that struck a chord with me and may be one of the major reasons I connected to this song immediately. Enjoy the Ren journey you’re about to go on! I’m here for it!
For great storytelling, "The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full)." This is a 3-part video that is absolutely incredible. For some real vocal show-off time, catch Ren in the band "The Big Push" singing a mashup of "I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip-Hop." There are a couple different version and you want the one where he's wearing red suspenders - it shows incredible vocal range and different styles of music all in one performance. I am addicted to Ren's music!
Can we just declare Ren Gill a 'Heritage Artist' or something?? He's like a world treasure. I loved your reaction, Geo. +1 sub and looking forward to more videos on your musical journey. 🎶🔥😎💖🙏🏼
That was so honest and vulnerable of you to say what you said. You spoke truth. Thank you
Amazingly honest reaction brother ! Everyone has those demons talking to us. Victims of depression becoming Students is very powerful.
Everything Ren puts out is mind blowing x all done by himself, one take videos, etc. His story telling has you on the edge of your seat. Got to try violets tale trilogy, but he's got 20-30 amazing hits out there, all different. Dundee Ren Top fan x
your reaction was beautiful and honest and lovely to be able to witness. suggestion, try Ren x Chinchilla either 'Chalk Outlines or To Be Me. Ren is an amazing artist and I wish he had come out about 12 years ago, maybe my friend would still be with us...saw he was not alone in how he felt and not given up on the fight.
This was a great reaction Sir ❤
Thank You
The RENaissance is upon us. Welcome brother 😎✌
A thoughtful reaction, thank you.
Amazing artist
Much love ❤️ Sue
Way to accidentally jump in the DEEP end of the pool on your first go. Not one to be meek and safe are ya? ;) I’ve been binge watching this video (and reactions) for months. Doesn’t get old.
Great reaction! I very much enjoyed hearing your sharing. Wonderful vulnerability and honesty. Please react to anything by Pentatinix.
You are good enough… always remember that!! Never listen to the devil on your shoulder. I did that for so long. Then I picked him up and threw his ass in the trash can. I always listen to the angel on my shoulder telling me I AM good enough!
Hits you hard, doesn't it? This was my introduction to Ren as it has been for so many. He is a child of Hope and child of Apollo. And he is making BIG waves.
Amazing
This reaction was awesome! The emotion on your face as it went on must have matches mine when I first saw it.
You can see the ones that have loosened the noose on the rope!
Great job! Another Renegade just found you! ❤
watching you react to this was emotional ❤
Goosebumps EVERY SINGLE TIME...........
At the beginning hes not causing disruption on the guitar hes playing diminished cords
Good reaction, this will affect people for years to come. You should watch jenny n screech full video next.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Great vid man! New sub 😘💕
Thank You
Hello there, your new sub here. Loved your reaction to Ren ❤
Watch the lights and the shadows, dark and light so clever, he reminds me of the day I discovered Floyd only better. Stay you Sir, love and peace 🏴🏴🏴🏴Tommy This should be in schools. You are a real man 😊
Better than Floyd is quite a complement my man. Thanks brother
No problem, I suffer for the past 14 years with psychosis and various ailments only on 56 tablets daily or 21 different medications but I always remember that some people have it harder, stay you, stay real, stay loved🤯👀🤯
❤
Good, honest, emotional reaction. Subbed. If you do the "London Trilogy" make sure you do all 3 at the same time, eh? (Jenny's Tale, Screech's Tale, Violet's Tale).
Absolutely. And thank you my man.
Found and sub'd ya today 122th sub. Here for you and #Ren always. #chinchilla dropped a new video today called little girl gone 🔥🔥🔥 Chinchilla is Ren's musical soul mate ❤️
Great reaction bro. It’s truly a masterpiece.
I think I watched your reaction to the film Dead Man’s Shoes a few weeks back? Weird that
Well you know the internet is a small place, pal. 😉
@@ge.0 apparently so! Great film by the way.
There’s people who still think this is about split personality disorder halfway thru the song and then there’s people like this who get it after the first few lines.
I know that you are speaking English. I know this, but i can only understand about every third word or so. I don't say that to be disparaging, and it's no fault of yours that I can't fully understand you. I say all of that because despite the partial language barrier, I very much enjoyed watching your reaction to this masterpiece. All the best to you and yours my friend.
hello from bellshill....
My man
He chose the red pill….
Just your luck to pick this song as the first to react to.
I had the same reaction, thanks for sharing man
