Ren caught lyme disease after being bitten by a tick. The illness was misdiagnosed for many years. Ren is currently undergoing treatment in Canada. There is a back catalogue of his work, all worth listening to. Nice reaction, thank you.
One of the best ren reactions I've seen because your reaction was just like mine when I first saw this video... Lovely comments so much so that when you got emotional it made me well up..... Great lucie loved it. Xx
Check his back catalogue. It is amazing. His 3-part morality tale (sung live) called The Tale of Jenny and Screech, with the last part called Violet's Tale, is Shakespeare for 21st century. Can I also recommend his duet with Chinchilla called Chalk Outlines again, sung live it is heartbreaking. But there is much more to find. Including his busking video. He has a tragic back story, which will explain a lot, he had stem cell treatment in the States, and is currently in Canada for further treatment.
Please react to his trilogy. Jenny and Screech and Violets tale. There is a video with all three. The stories are told so uniquely... he is truly amazing, and the stories all interconnect. Thanks for a great reaction. ❤️
Hi Ren, is the 2023 Pandemic of love and self-healing. And the emotional Collective that resonates with this song is the dry wheat field that it's Spark has lit on fire. That fire is spreading wildly across the world to turn our attention to the fact that we are human beings, United through Love. Bless you Ren and Bless everyone. Let's make 2023 the best year ever by turning our attention away from all the divisive social media mainstream or other that only serves to swing the pendulum to the beat of conflict and Division. Thank you so much Ren
I think I have watched about 50 reaction videos now. I tear up every time I hear this piece. Ren just touched so many lives and I noticed he comments on almost every reaction video. What a connection he is making with us; the world. Especially in these days of division he is brining us together with his powerful words and talent. #GodWins
You are very accurate stating that you didnt see anything like that before. Because this video and the track are very much original. The "theme" of a inner battle with subconscious is not new. But the way it was performed, arranged and captured on screen - makes me wanna say it`s an Original approach. And I am 49 years old being a music lover ince age of 7.
Totally agree with you man. I'll see your 49 & raise you to 64. Listening to music since the early 70's & I can honestly say I've never heard or seen anything like this in all that time.
Maybe you already found the Ren story by clicking around, but to summerize... He is a street performer/busker at heart and thanks to some of his incredible performances and gigs, he was due to sign with Sony. They cancelled and backed out around the time they noticed his health took a drastic turn for the worse. His energy levels collapsed and was forced, due to bad medical advice and misdiagnosis, to be bed-bound. For the next 10 years he's battled with an undetected form of Lyme's disease which virtually crippled him, causing his mental health to suffer horribly. He finally began to recieve treatment, which has helped somewhat although from what I understand, there is a constant pain which manifests itself in changes in his appearance sometimes. These recent songs seem to be a mixture of catharsis and screaming in rage at the injustice of how his healthcare has been mishandled for years. Awesome, mercurial performer with poetry and artistry in everything he does. One of a kind... Let's hope his current treatment (going on in canada right now) gives him the freedom to finally enjoy his successes.
Great reaction. Since two weeks I'm watching reaction videos to Hi Ren every day... you're the first who mentioned the "british haircut". I love that every reaction is unique.
Beautiful reaction my dear. It may well be a deep, dark, twisted, battle, but watching his triumphant dance and joyful singing at the end, made my heart soar like a hawk.
Great job with your reaction to Hi Ren from Ren if you pay attention to the shallows on the floor during the this video they change between the dark and light personally during the video.
Hi, Lucy. I really love your simple and honest reaction, and even though it is short, your reaction to Ren covers a few important things. Yes, he is brilliant and I agree that he can regarded as a genius. His use of words is definitely poetic, especially given the amount of imagery he uses. I believe this to be a sort of breakdown on what transpired in his life. Amidst all the struggles, he uses his knowledge and expertise to bravely lay his life bare to the public. This sketch of self is ingeniously delivered.
Definitely the Trilogy Jenny's, Screech, Violets tale takes storytelling to a new level and then his collaboration with Sam Tomkins shows his amazing versatility.
Lucie, Lucie, Lucie.....FINALLY!!! Finally someone laughs at the truly funny parts. Yes, this is top level genius, Leonardo and Michelangelo level. But the man has a sense of humour and you are the first person to laugh out loud of all the reactions. You get it! Thanks for being honest and open. I really appreciate your honest reaction to this exceptional art.
Dude...Ren. you're definitely paying your dues. I'm just drinking myself into oblivion in Alaska watching reaction videos to this song because I love it so much and u respond to almost everyone
10 years ago he was bitten by a tick and contracted Lymes disease. He had just signed with Sony records and they dropped him when he became ill. Ten years of misdiagnosis and treatment experiments followed. Ren didn't just from a cloud he has been plugging away with his music all the time. He is a good human being and you might want to check out some of his other songs or stuff from the band he is in The Big Push. On a side note. if you check out Jenny's Tale or Screech's Tale Do the whole extended set because it is a trilogy with Violet's Tale and Violet's Tale needs to be heard last.
Great reaction. Welcome down the rabbit hole known as Ren. The Tale of Jenny and Screech, (FULL) is a must. Also Money Game 1&2. Sick Boi that dropped last week and all the others that have been mentioned previously. You got a new sub here!!
Who is Ren? Ren is a man who dances with his devils, sings with his demons, and leaves us all better for having heard that he existed. Because his daily struggle is so much more than most of our lives struggles combined. But he is so humble he would say he is only telling his stories. When in reality, he is telling all the dirty rotten and sad stories that everyone is afraid to share
Ren comes from Wales, UK (born in Bangor, raised on Anglesey) and lives in Brighton, UK. He was treated for mental health issues and psychosis for nearly 10 years and was told that his problems were 'all in his head'. He was finally correctly diagnosed by Dutch doctor as having Lyme disease - by which time the damages to his systems had been done. He is now in Canada receiving treatment to try and repair as much of that damage as possible. This was shot live and in one take (but 4 attempts.)
Great reaction. I only recently learned about Ren and have gone down this rabbit hole ever since. Many of the subjects, experiences, and emotions expressed in his songs touch me on a very personal level because I can relate to and identify with many of his struggles. A little background on Ren that I gathered from the internet. 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. His illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours a day. Ren was initially diagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome. It would take seven years before he was finally correctly diagnosed with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and brain damage. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure. He is currently in Canada for more treatments. Ren is an incredible and unique artist; he plays multiple instruments, has great vocal ability, is an excellent storyteller, and is quite the philosopher and poet. From what I read, his videos are generally shot live, all in one take by his friend. I recommend you check out some of his other work. The trilogy "The Tale of Jenny/Screech/Violet" is haunting and has an unexpected ending; WATCH THEM IN THE STATED ORDER, as this is the flow of the storyline or just watch “The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full)” which includes “Violet’s Tale at the end. It is another example of Ren’s genius and a master’s class in storytelling. Ren’s collaborations with Chinchilla (“Chalk Outlines,” “How to Be Me”) are beautiful and showcase his singing voice while addressing mental health. I would watch the official live music video. "Chalk Outlines" is one of my favorite songs right now. Ren's personal reflections are threaded through many of his songs; "Insomnia," "Depression," “Diazepam," “Penitence,” “Dear God,” “Heretic,” “Dominos,” his "Freckled Angels" album, just to name a few, all deserve a listen. His song "Money Game" (Part I & II) is another recommendation. As a solo act, Ren performs a range of genres, much of it hip-hop/rap influenced, as well as guitar-based ballads. His performances with Sam Tompkins (“Blind Eyed,” “Earned it /Mans World / Falling”), Eden Nash (“Humble,” “Ocean”), Bibi (“Crutch,” “Ahiahiaoha”), Molly McKinna (“Penitence”), his former bandmate, Romain Axisa (“French Song”) and any of his performances as a member of the band "The Big Push" (which unfortunately broke up) are awesome and well worth checking out, both the busking (street performances) and their live recordings. Ren has impressive vocal and instrumental skills. He is one-of-a-kind and appears mature beyond his years. Ren just released his latest single, “Sick Boi.” In anticipation of his stay in Canada for more treatments, Ren prepared some music ahead of time to be released over the next 3-6 months that he expects to be gone. "Sick Boi" is almost another chapter to "Hi Ren."
my connection to this song is only the similarity of struggle,, i'm undiagnosed autistic and have struggled with being a bit weird my whole life i had to start my own business because i had problems holding a job with sleep disorders and high ethics.. but managed to stay in business the last 40 years without needing to advertise or even carry a card, i run a lawn and tree service and do all phases of construction and kind of an inventor on the side after six years of development i figured out a disaster response product that could help millions worldwide .. then my insurance agent forgot to post a payment back in 2020 and the state took everything i worked the last 40 years for away .. stuck at home like a prisoner i came online and saw people helping others so i started making videos explaining hat i was. trying to do to get help and found out if the platform your uploading to doesn't promote you your just talking to your phone, and then i see stuff like this and get jealous because i will never write a song that gets peoples attn like this. so my chances are fading. and it's scary as hell to think of all that could be, but it may all be lost because one person forgot to hit enter on there keyboard..
Ren was wrongly diagnosed Ren could hardly stand in the shower,his food was being liquidised and in constant pain as well as being medicated alledgely wrongly. Ren had to have 2 lots stem cell treatment. Currently being treated on an intensive course in Canada.Lime disease . I guess years of being misdiagnosed helped him ironically to write his music and this in turn helps others.
Check out my other reaction to Ren: ruclips.net/video/gCWwdSKhqC8/видео.html&ab_channel=LucieV
Thanks for the reaction and for the nice words Lucie!!
The fact that you are commenting thank you on every reaction video speaks volumes. Your music is inspiring bud.
Hey Ren, you don't know me ,i just wanted to wish you all the best in Canada, hope all goes well stay strong.
Nah man. This is different. He takes the time to comment on everybody that reacts. Nobody else does that.
@@trentbobo4171 i know another artist who does it as well, but yeah Ren is pretty amazing!
The entire world wants to give you a hug, Ren. We love you.
Ren caught lyme disease after being bitten by a tick. The illness was misdiagnosed for many years. Ren is currently undergoing treatment in Canada. There is a back catalogue of his work, all worth listening to. Nice reaction, thank you.
Sick boi sick boi, bitten by a tick boi
Thank u...saved me from writing this .
Check out his trilogy videos, Jenny's tale, Screech's tale & Violet's tale & in that specific order & be prepared to have your mind blown again
One of the best ren reactions I've seen because your reaction was just like mine when I first saw this video... Lovely comments so much so that when you got emotional it made me well up..... Great lucie loved it. Xx
Yea, I had a hard time keeping it together. What a masterpiece!
His trilogy of Jenny and Screeches tales is something you should immerse yourself in. And sick Boi.
Ren is the renegade that resonates!
Amazing! Thank you! Please do Chalk Outlines Live by Ren and Chinchilla… raw emotion! Vocal perfection.
Check his back catalogue.
It is amazing.
His 3-part morality tale (sung live) called The Tale of Jenny and Screech, with the last part called Violet's Tale, is Shakespeare for 21st century.
Can I also recommend his duet with Chinchilla called Chalk Outlines again, sung live it is heartbreaking.
But there is much more to find.
Including his busking video.
He has a tragic back story, which will explain a lot, he had stem cell treatment in the States, and is currently in Canada for further treatment.
Ren is amazing , a true breath of fresh air!
He just released Sick boi. Its a banger!
Ren is a BRILLIANT ARTIST! His story of Jenny and Screech (full version) is CRAZY!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
HONESTLY...HIS WHOLE CATALOG is 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯😎🤷♀️
This man stands alone 🔥🙏🔥
Please react to his trilogy. Jenny and Screech and Violets tale. There is a video with all three. The stories are told so uniquely... he is truly amazing, and the stories all interconnect. Thanks for a great reaction. ❤️
Wonderful reaction, Lucie! Thank you!
I enjoyed your react. Welcome to the world of Ren. Enjoy the journey, keep stepping forwards 💙
Welcome to the beginning of your Ren journey. Maybe you should do Sick Boi first then the trilogy. You have an exciting time ahead!

He was mis-diagnosed for 10 years before he was finally diagnosed with Lyme Disease. Chalk Outlines is a tear jerker for sure.

By far one of my favorite reactions to this song! Just happened upon your channel. Great reaction! 👍
@@lucievreacts well keep it up!
Definitely the Trilogy Jenny's, Screech, Violets tale takes storytelling to a new level and then his collaboration with Sam Tomkins shows his amazing versatility.
Hey look! It's LucyV our favorite reactor! Thank you again for your insightful observations and commentary.
Next level…. Perfect 💯
I was totally own away by this truly imaginative and artistic rendition. This guy deserves an Oscar
It is incredible indeed it’s not just one dimensional it’s an experience…amazing
Lucie, Lucie, Lucie.....FINALLY!!! Finally someone laughs at the truly funny parts. Yes, this is top level genius, Leonardo and Michelangelo level.

"Looks like a very British hair cut, that." 😂
He has lyme desise , that was undiognosed for 10 years .
Love the art amt lighting behind you.
You should react to Jenny and screechs tale full version from Ren
Check out any of his music. He is a REAL artist. He has a cover of I Shot the Sheriff that is really good.
10 years ago he was bitten by a tick and contracted Lymes disease. He had just signed with Sony records and they dropped him when he became ill.

Profoundly said. thanks for the reaction and thanks to Ren. Its amazing when you realise that we arent the only ones dancing within
Great reaction. Welcome down the rabbit hole known as Ren. The Tale of Jenny and Screech, (FULL) is a must. Also Money Game 1&2. Sick Boi that dropped last week and all the others that have been mentioned previously. You got a new sub here!!
He's a generational genius 🇺🇸
Touching reaction
Thank you for reacting to this song and performance, Lucie. Please think about reacting to Ren's 'The Tale of Jenny and Screech' and 'Violet's Tale'.
Loved your reaction ❤

My personal favourite song that he sings with The Big Push Wade in the water 💦
Ren comes from Wales, UK (born in Bangor, raised on Anglesey) and lives in Brighton, UK. He was treated for mental health issues and psychosis for nearly 10 years and was told that his problems were 'all in his head'.

He is now in Canada receiving treatment to try and repair as much of that damage as possible.
This was shot live and in one take (but 4 attempts.)
Well Done, Lucie!
He played This live. He wrote THE song.
Great reaction. If this doesn't affect a person emotionally, they should check their pulse.
Great reaction. I only recently learned about Ren and have gone down this rabbit hole ever since. Many of the subjects, experiences, and emotions expressed in his songs touch me on a very personal level because I can relate to and identify with many of his struggles.

❤
Ren was wrongly diagnosed
Ren could hardly stand in the shower,his food was being liquidised and in constant pain as well as being medicated alledgely wrongly.
Ren had to have 2 lots stem cell treatment.
Currently being treated on an intensive course in Canada.Lime disease .
I guess years of being misdiagnosed helped him ironically to write his music and this in turn helps others.
He fought 11 years with Lyme disease without knowing it. This is the story of his struggle
May I recommend Chalk Outlines (live) by Ren x Chinchilla
It’s heavy… I believe you’re looking for…
So what many people don't realise is alot of ren music videos are done live but also as 1 take so no edits
😍
🤟👍🔥
You want fun? Ren love music parts 1, 2 and 3 next pls.
🕊️🍉🕊️
Can you react to REN money game? Also, Colicchie drug addiction?
Please react to Tool song called The Pot.. please.
Waht happened to him? He got Lyme Disease and encountered the mdial industry.
