  • Hello everyone, welcome to my reaction video to "Ren-Hi Ren". As someone who's new to Ren's music, I have to say that I was completely taken aback by this amazing piece of work. I've become an instant fan and I'm excited to explore more of Ren's music in the future.
    In this video, you'll see my initial reactions to the music, and how my curiosity about Ren grew as I delved deeper into their artistry. I'm grateful to Valley for introducing me to Ren and their incredible music.
    I would love to start a conversation with you all in the comments section below. Have you heard of Ren before? What do you think of their music? Let's share our thoughts and opinions and explore Ren's music together.

    I saw a quote once, and I'll paraphrase it badly. The difference between a hero and a villain is in how they respond to experiencing pain. A villain feels pain and lashes out, inflicting pain on others. A hero experiences pain and wants to help others who experience it too or stop them having to. Pretty obvious which one Ren is.

      Also 52....and the strength and courage and perseverance this lad has consistently had to muster to continue his craft, and utilize the Gift he's been given along with a curse of sorts in the misdiagnosis of Lyme disease for far far to long to ultimately worsen into Autoimmunity is beyond Remarkable.....For a kid in Brighton to have a Contract with Sony at his fingertips...only to be taken away because of the incompetence of the Doctors that simply weren't thorough enough in their diagnosis....and creating themselves a more sick Ren than was to begin with in the administration of medication on top of medication cocktails.....this is in my observation the Pig Masked figure that is portrayed in his videos.... The Medical Quacks....Those with prescription tablets to just use ink on....and perhaps a smidgen of Therapists, psychologists...and Big pharma itself.

      I watch a lot of reaction videos, and a month ago I kept seeing people reacting to Hi Ren. I kept ignoring it, in the same way I've been ignoring Dimesh reactions. Then, youtube chose it for me as an autoplay thing, Mind blown. So I watched the Jenny, Stitch, Violet trilogy. What was left of my mind, blown again. I think I've now watched everything. Even borrowed a headset thing to watch the 360 of Jenny and Screech. Ren is like a 21stC Shakespeare.

    the j cash vs nin versions of hurt is perfection, it's all about actually.
    “Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to."

    You said "making art is about making friends around the world". I've never heard somebody put it in this way, but it really clicked with me. As an artist, our real goal is to reach people and tell a story through artistic communication. It doesn't just boil down to the mechanics of composing a song or painting a piece of art. Thanks

    • @patroden
      @patroden  Год назад +5

      It's all about connecting :)
      When I'm making my solo music, I'm always considering how the reaction of the listener will be, and how each song can serve a purpose connecting my experiences and reflections to the ones the listener will also endure. At the end, we have to dig deep inside ourselves to find that common ground with other human beings.
      I always criticize the fact that there are so many musicians that practice a lot and can play all the notes up and down in all the tempos, but when it comes to communicate they never have something valuable to say. Most of my favourite musicians are kind of raw and make stuff from the heart.
      Thank you for your comment Jeff!

      @@patroden That's what I thought, too. Striving for perfection and expanding your technical skills is important, but it doesn't make you an artist. If you use those skills and that repertoire to express your inner self so that other people can grasp what you want to express, you are a good artist.
      But if you are able to relate to other people and even communicate with them through the art, you are a great artist. Then there is not only beauty in art, but also meaning.
      And Ren is certainly a great artist.
      He has very good skills and a wide range of techniques. And he uses them very well to express himself and connect with other people without being restricted to any boundaries.

    I have been binge-watching reaction videos on Hi Ren for the last two weeks and I can't seem to stop. Watching people's reactions to this Message which I can not explain other than the Truth. I find myself in tears every time I see when someone 'gets' the Message. It is the entire Gospel of Christ in one song. First, we just sing along, then the inner battle, then Satan reveals himself and then Christ comes and Stands up in authority over us and claims us to be redeemed. Our Saviour and Eternal Hope. And finally, it is ok. Because we have been made to be trailed and tested, we are human.

    I don't have your technical knowledge of the difference in sound between a plugged-in acoustic and one that is amplified by a microphone.
    But it's possible that Ren made his choice because he felt this sound fit the struggle between him and his shadow. It could also be because this was filmed and recorded live, and a visible microphone would have broken the fourth wall as well as affecting his ability to move around, especially at the end.
    In any case, it sounded pretty damn amazing to me!

    The following was collated by Jens Randolff so props to him for that.
    Here is a little bit about his background, in case you don't know already. I gathered it from an old newspaper interview and Ren's livestreams and posts where he discussed his condition. Ren Eryn Gill is a British musician born in Wales on March 29 1990. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, he 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 lead him to experience psychosis. 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 Canada for more treatments, including surgeries, and will have to be there for at least six months (Summer of 2023). Ren's Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder, which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, adrenals, as well as his bones/joints. Ren stated: "It's a lot to wrap my head around having to be away from friends, family, and a successful career, and almost feels like a total juxtaposition to the fact that my music is blowing up right now and spreading to all corners of the world, but that's life, we take the good with the bad." Let's keep supporting Ren and not pull a "Sony" on him as he undergoes his treatment. Check out his channel, 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 this generation, and his work is needed in these troubling times. Here is the link to Ren’s GoFundMe page to raise money for his current treatment. www.gofundme.com/f/ren-get-better-from-lyme-disease-and-autoimmuni

Having the context of his medical struggles and treatment and his experience as a young artist being signed by (and then dropped by) Sony due to his illness will greatly enhance your understanding of his work.
    He’s a once in a generation artist I think. I’ve been a musician for 35 years and I still struggle to wrap by head around the depth and variety of his skills. Guitar, piano, writing and producing, rapping, singing, acting, planning the elaborate live 1-take videos, busking in London and Brighton with his band (The Big Push), all while being incredibly ill. 🤯
    I also appreciate when people realize he’s doing it live (and in one take). According to the director that was the 4th take, and the video was made for less than 1,000 pounds. 🤯

    This song has so so many nuances to it. It is not just a song. This is a piece of living art. But it also has a deeper or wider message. I have watched 10 different reactions, yours included of course. But nobody seems to have picked up on it. The song is very much about his own experiences and how he delt/is dealing with them himself. However, there is a line: "And You know how I know I will prosper? Because I am standing here BESIDE you today". He could have very easily used "standing here before you today". I believe he chose BESIDE deliberately. You don't need to go through it alone. And if you see somebody going through it, don't let them go through it alone. "We are (all of us) human beings" after all!! ❤ This is one of those "once in a generation" pieces. Beautiful.

    Great reaction overall, very good thoughts.
    Also I like your beard! Very clean point under your chin.
    P.S. As for the guitar... yeah, it's not the most super-clean sound. He isn't even all that careful about tuning it, and he often plucks the bass strings so hard the extra tension from the vibrational energy makes the notes sharp.
    But Ren moves _a lot_ while he plays. Usually walking from one place to another, outdoors, in the cold (which will demolish tuning in a hurry anyway), so it's much more important that everything that captures his performance is _on_ him, physically, totally mobile. It's more than a worthy sacrifice of some sound quality for that level of meaning and performance art. He's also a busker, as I'm sure you've discovered since this, so in some sense, that kind of portable "just set up on a street corner and play" is the kind of gear he _has._
    He's a guerilla artist, making use of what he has in ways that make stuff with a million times the budget or more look pathetic.

    I've seen a ton of reactions to this song, yours was one of my favorites for sure. I really like the dichotomy of you're attitude in the beginning ( well, I prefer an acoustic guitar be mic'd up rather than plugged in but lets see what happens...lol, it's ok, I used to work in a sound studio, I feel the same way) to your total transformation by the end, and being in awe, like I was the first time I saw it. I especially liked your comment after Ren said he didn't care about the radio, but his music was connecting with people. I know you were struggling a bit to express yourself, but I knew exactly what you meant, and it was profound, music does connect us all, it's a way to meet friends, ones that are on the same frequency, such a beautiful way to think about it.
    Not sure it was an interview or what, but I once heard Sully Erna, lead singer of Godsmack, say the most moving thing about music I ever heard, I'm paraphrasing, hope I do it justice. Oh, he was talking to a auditorium full of middle school students........What is a single note plucked on a guitar, or tapped on a piano? Well scientifically it's simply the shaking of that string, at a certain frequency or speed, which pushes waves of molecules and atoms in the air, which the fine hairs in our inner ear drum sense and it sends an electrical impulse to our brain in the form of a tone or note. Why is it then, when you put a bunch of those notes together in different ways and formations and play them at different speeds and pitches, that those simple invisible waves can draw such emotion from our depths, something so seemingly simply can bring tears, profound joy, fear, pride, or just about any emotion we are capable of? Well I don't have the answer really, but what I believe is, that it's the universe's way of telling us that we belong, that we are all children of star dust, and the magical waves we call notes and music, were meant to bring us together, and connect us as humans, through a universal language..........
    Sorry, I just always loved that explanation, and your comment during that part of the song reminded me of it and I just wanted to share it with you. Great reaction, take care, cheers!

      Hey Sunshyn, I'm glad my reaction clicked with you! I was in doubt about publishing this video, because the reaction is 100% real and while editing the video I saw how naive and dumb I am at the beginning, commenting about the audio and then the whole thing flips like a pancake.
      But I set myself to be honest and published it anyway, this is for me a conversation, where we all learn someting and make our brains more colorful!
      What you mention from the singer of Godsmack is indeed great wisdom. Art is magic, an extra dimension of reality in which we all tap in and out, like a portal to somewhere far away in the universe.
      Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me, I appreciate it a lot!

    Ren was misdiagnosed for 7yrs before they found his Lyme disease, he was treated for mental illness, all this drove him into psychosis. This song Sick Boi and Chalk outlines with Chinchilla relate to his experiences. He is very talented does so many genres Rap,reggae,rock,hiphop and has a band called The big push. He is trying to get well in Canada at the moment.

    I’ve had many experiences with dmt that mirrored the structure of this song. I experienced rapid flashes of thousands of images that bounced back and forth between every instance of pain, chaos and malevolence along with every instance of nurturing and good will. They flashed so quickly; and all the while a grandparent-esk entity “sat” present with me impressioning me to integrate the images together. It broke me apart because I couldn’t find a way to reconcile them. I was taught from such a young age that duality (good and evil) are irreconcilable forces. I was led to believe the universe is divided against itself. This made sense because physical forces work oppositionally to allow nature to become. (Ex. Newtons 3rd law of motion.) The resolve in this divide, much like this song, was felt emotionally and not merely as a proposition to be believed. I realized at that point that every instance in my own life that I had aspired toward goodness came from my reaction to the pain and suffering of others. I feel very deeply that I don’t want others to suffer the way I have and because of this I will give my life to lift up every human being that comes into my life. I don’t believe this choice would have the same weight or significance if it weren’t for the duality. Which (IMO) is expressed to perfection within this song. Bravo to Ren and thank you for you reaction. ❤

I have autoimmune diseases and therefore v isolated. But I feel the connection of meaning which I h w been seeking all of my life. Meaning and connection. I had a long therapeutic journey and now I live with physical pain, which led to my trauma as a psychotherapist over 24 years ago. He heals me in quite an unexpected manner.

    This is the most awe inspiring performance art I have seen. It has everything that is organic. He is a poet, artist, rapper, director, producer. The dichotomy of perspective from an internal struggle made me sit in wonderment at what I was watching around truth and understanding of self. First time I have sat back speechless. Then I explored his back catalogue and I was blown away. He is a genius and unique. I really hops he gets some solace with his treatment in Canada. Not many if any RENs about and I have only found a few in my 60 yrs of listening. I am so affected by this performance that it has changed my perspective on life the has not happened since my teens.
