Hahahaha I was looking for a genre to put this in 'classical bipolar core' fits nicely. Thanks for listening and reacting to my track man! Appreciate the support!
Phenomenal job man 👏🏼
Hope I got a couple of metalheads to check out your music too haha
@@METALBIRB gona have to up my growl game for the next track
@@RenMakesMusiclmao!
@@METALBIRB i believe he can😂the only genre that's left for him to cover up
😂😂 made me laugh ✌️
I am 42 years old and i listen metal mostly but this shit man is dope af.His creativity and intellect left me speechless.This dude just delivered a piece of himself straight to us in a raw and genius way.Brilliant,just brilliant.
41 here but i can copy and paste everything else.
Well said...
❤
This is such a piece of genius you are the 27th reviewer I've watched reviewing Hi Ren, still not got bored of listening to different takes by people who know something about music.
glad its not just me doing that lol
ahahah honestly same, then scrolling to see everyone’s opinions and to see if ren has commented too 😭😭
Hi! I'm currently starting my journey, this is my third video 😆
@@colinricketts1415 im totally not watching analysis videos to justify listening to that song on loop for the past 2 1/2 hours...
I had to go to my history and loom and I've watched near 50. My first reaction to this was recorded for me to post but I've been so enamored watching others react I've yet to edit and post.
I was hoping for a metal reviewer to tackle this. It's too interesting and unique to not be spread to every corner of the music world.
Tale of Jenny and screech is a creative masterpiece 👌👌
What's most amazing is he shoots all his videos as live performances in one take.
Was just gonna post the same... except - not sure about 1 take. It'd be fukkin amazing I'd he got the whole performance in 10 takes.
@@WhakkMedia it's take four in this case according to him. But yeah, one continuous shot.
Bid respect also needs to.go to Samuel who shoots his videos for his talent and creativity. It looks simple, but it's not, especially to do it as a live single shot, which Ren and Samuel.always do.
Recommend that everyone goes to Ren's YT channel, where all his music is available free, and experience his talent and diversity (pure rap to pop). Don't forget to show some love with a sub and some likes.
@@WhakkMedia Apparently this was the 4th take.
@@dimitri502 the videographer responds to a comment about this somewhere and says its a mix off all 4 takes. definetly not one take. but still amazing
I've watched at least 20 reactions to this song. I really think that between this song and Ren getting some progress on his health, he's about to blow up. Such a great artist.
Great reaction. "Hi Ren" is the song that put Ren on everyone's radar over the past month; it went viral and garnered more than 2 million views in a couple of weeks. His latest release, "Sick Boi," is almost another chapter to "Hi Ren." 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."
Thank you for all your info. He deserves all the help we can give him.
Wow this was incredible, the rapping, the guitar playing , the singing, the songwriting, the substance in the lyrical themes, the song writing and the damn spoken word at the end, progression at it's damn finest!
Ren is an incredible talent
Bro I’m glad you are checking out more independent underground artists. Ren’s a legend :)
I appreciate you uploading this even though its not metal. Deathcore is my daily rotation but Ren is an absolute creative genius. I found him a few weeks ago and just blown away and I'm happy seeing his music blowing up!
Great reaction fella! Welcome to the rabbit hole known as Ren. The ooh, ooh sections are a total earworm!!
I wasnt expecting this. Ren suddenly appeared in my recomendations with Violet's Tale last year. This is pure music
the trilogy w violets tale in is incredible, hope he checks it out too :)
Thanks for playing this MB, this guy really reaches so many. He is an incredible personification of loss, despair and hope. And an amazing talent.
Dude I love the split screen format. I don't think I can think of another reaction channel that uses it. Great reaction.
Ridiculously artistic. Music, emotion, acting, presenting. So different, so cool, so weird. I'm so confused........but I liked it! Thank you for exposing this, MetalBirb!
Entire performance. Cinematography, lighting switches matching characters, matching character voice with playing style at the switches, etc. The guitar playing sneakily very good, the time switches between the light and dark sides of his character seemed completely authentic as they were not always switching on even bars, etc. A video of that length goes by in the blink of an eye because everything is on point and fully engaging.
This is really cool you reacted to this man. I discovered this song by Ren a couple weeks ago and it grabbed my attention the whole way through. A powerful message alot of people can relate too.
This was so cool! I'm definitely gonna have to check out some more of his songs
IM SO GLAD YOURE REACTING TO REN!!!!! He is so good!!!!
It touches you in your soul, and I am saying that as someone who has never had the challenges he and others face. It just reaches anyone with a heart. You can tell in the reactions to this song, many are left speechless, trying to find the words. Ren is so talented, after watching many of his other things, I just think he WILL be remembered . His vocals are unmatched, guitar, his words,writing, rap he is a poet and actor. He is amazing,. Check him out in band The Big Push when he was younger , and he collaborates with other singers, all around talent.
This metalhead dig this! Ren, lornashore, its all about the musicianship.
Ren is BRILLIANT! ❤️🔥❤️🔥 SOOO glad he's getting his flowers 💐 😍👏👏👏✌️❤️🔥🎶💯 The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full version),The Hunger, MoneyGame...HELL, his WHOLE CATALOG IS RIDICULOUS! 🤷♀️😯🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥
haha I love how he starts out laughing and being weirded out but open-minded, talking over it a bit, making jokes, and then by the end of it he's just silent, not wanting to miss a word.
This is super cool
Yea this is amazing! Finally was able to watch the whole thing and focus on it! Really cool, and he's super talented for sure.
Thanks for coming back to check it out homie!
@@METALBIRB of course gotta get them Views up!😉
Rens video came up as a ad on here for me. Only skippable ad I’ve ever not skipped, outstanding
His style is quite eclectic (although he says he will make his current album purely hiphop), he was part of a rock band called The Big Push as well. He did not do any songs that can be labeled "metal" but he says he was influenced by nu-metal, RATM (check out Crucify Your Culture by him), Korn, SOAD etc. So maybe he will make some metal songs in the future. As for this one, I felt like this is kind of metal in a sense from the moment I heard it (his Tales trilogy too). I am myself an old metalhead (also usually listen to other guitar based music like rock, blues, punk etc.) and don't like rap, but love all of his catalogue. Found him out a couple of years ago and a big fan now :)
If your one of the lucky ones that have never suffered any kind of depression whatsoever, you will never understand how great this song really is. This song is going to help a lot of people get through.
Fr fr
everyone has suffered in some regard, even if you may not think they did.
just like this song said, it's the hallmark of a human.
let's not gatekeep suffering
Yes most of my life & he has touch my soul on so many levels
@@grischad20 Anyone that keeps smiling like Metalbirb through this song really doesn't get it. And if you think everyone suffers from this, you don't know what suffering is. You're comparing a cold to brain cancer. That's not gatekeeping, that's ignorance on your side. I sincerely hope you'll never find out what suffering is.
@@arturama8581 He didn't say that everyone is suffering from this specific thing. He said that everyone has felt suffering of some kind.
Definitely check out his other music! Been following for years he has an amazing catalog
He's incredible.
Nice one.
The next "one" to check out, is Jenny and Screech's Tale (Full), three short stories somehow connected. Amazing guitar playing and a huge cinematic masterpiece all around! 🤘
A amazing piece of theater
The big push is a band hes in (not sure if he still is or not) but they have some live street preformances that are breathtaking
They have broke up now as Ren is in Canada at the min having treatment! But the big push are so good i agree
I'm on a bender tonight of watching people react to this performance. I was initially bummed out that yours was during a live stream as reactors have a bad habit of reading the comments and being too distracted by others to focus. So imagine my delight when three quarters of the way through, your face got serious and you stopped chatting and looking over at what people were typing - you got completely drawn in and I loved every second of that part. Ren is a such a fantastic and rare talent.
he is so unique and talented
Fantastic reaction love this guy 67 year great granddad love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍
Liked and subbed. Coming back for the metal... and maybe some more Ren?
It was brilliant... We all go through these emotions, feelings, and battles. Towards the end you were intently curious to see where Ren was going with this song. Fun to see how people react to it for it really leaves an impression on the soul. I cried the first time I saw it and the 2nd time because I know that doubt and still know that doubt and yet it made me feel better. That is what music is all about. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it very much.
This is amazing
I always give a thumbs up to all reactors who are speechless at the end. I had the same reaction. Love the meta conversation.
I love finding authentic reactions to this song. Rare thing these days on here. Great reaction mate.
New sub, great reaction! Discovered Ren, 'Hi, Ren' about two weeks ago. Been stuck in a Ren rabbit hole since-The world has been blessed by this man. ❤️🔥 with love from TN
He has so much more. He sings beautifully, he loves rock, he raps ridiculously well. He is a part of a band in Brighton. Some other songs: Chalk Outlines. How to be me. Sick boi. Genesis. Power. Hunger. Losing it.
Loved this react ❤
I'm obsessed with Ren he's brilliant
I love how you brought the heartbeat into this. Sort of blew my mind. Glad you loved Hi Ren. He's a mad rapper, you oughta check out "The Hunger".
Love your reaction 😂
Phenomenal job for sure !
I found this about a month or so back and it's honestly fucken brilliant, glad to see him getting more love.
This is my favourite song on earth
Follow this brilliant artist Ren … please support this man ❤
Amazing 😮❤❤❤
Great reaction man, great reaction👌👌
That laugh at the end was one of them "If I don't laugh, I'll fookin' cry"
Loved this reaction. You started a little bold listening to the vocal style but then you really got into it and your face changed. This song hits hard ❤
You need to check out The tale of jenny and screech full version by Ren too
thomas shelby rips on the guitar
"Classical Bi-Polar Core". YES!
Just brilliant, can't stop watching it and reactions to it.
Ren is brilliant. You should check out his new one Sick Boi
It’s like watching “Hamilton” for the first time. Broadway or Lin Manuel Miranda, someone needs to get Ren on the phone.
That’s what I thought when I first saw this music video. I was in awe.
Thank you for appreciating Ren's story and song. I just "found" him in the past month or two and remain utterly blown away by the crafting of his lyrics, voice, personal challenges - the whole works. He's a gem.
❤🔥ren
The genius and beauty of this performance is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to know what to expect! It's a visceral, mind-boggling punch right in the head and heart 🤯 💔 ending with a resonating, powerful message of inspiration and hope ❤️🔥 🙏 ❤️🩹 Classical Bi-polar Core, indeed!!! Hahahah!
The guy is so diverse it's unreal, great talent
Dude went for it and I dig it. I may never listen to it again but I'm glad I heard it.
I'm so enjoying watching people's reactions to this. People are either in tears, or entirely bewildliy in tears.
People seriously need to watch more of this gadges vocal, and performing art. GENUINELY, PLEASE ✌️
Erm can I change that to bewildered and in tears, gotta love a bust up phone, plus predictive. H🅰️h🅰️
I've heard a LOT of reactions to this (as well as the official version lots of times). You are the FIRST one to mention the occasional 'intentionally sloppy" guitar work. My very FIRST reaction to the opening 'classical' portion was , "Wow... some of this is out of tune." Followed by, "But now it's IN tune... huh?" I am absolutely confident that Ren knew (knows) exactly what he's doing. I suppose that if it's intentional (for impact), then it isn't 'sloppy,' right? Unless he discusses the "out of tune" sections, I'm only guessing. I think it helps add to the feeling of chaos, and disjointed thoughts flying around. Anyway, very perceptive of you! Great reaction!
Sneaking in here for the first time - coming from Rens Rabbit Hole.
Your reminder in Chat to eat more hittet different. xD Talked just yesterday with my husband about the fact, that I oft just eat once per day - in the evening.. xD haha. It's 11 AM here right now - lets try to have a little breakfast. x)
Besides this - you definitly should check out more of Ren :D He will catch you in so many ways!
❤❤❤
Okay little nitpick - it’s pronounced “KILLIAN Murphy,” not “Sillian Murphy”
Ok that out of the way, this song is hard asf. It was like adding a guitar to slam poetry.
Kind of blew my mind by now realizing it’s Killian haha
@@METALBIRB haha me too, that’s how I pronounced it for a long time
@Jack Mitchell I did too, but in Irish a "C" is always pronounced "K"
@@MadailinBurnhope yeah true
Check out the trilogy Jenny screech and violets tales in that order... and money game parts 1 amd 2
❤🤟🤙 yes mate you should do Rens fisher 🤟🤙
Heads up! Ren also plays piano. Sam Tompkins & Ren Feeling Good/Trouble So High.
Ren also plays Piano.

🔥🔥🔥🙏
You struggled in the beginning, but he got you...
Luv it
Bro you need to check out his street performance of the track Blind Eyes with Sam Tompkins. Absolutely incredible track!
Welcome to the Rennaissance @METALBIRB and 🙏 thank you ❤ for your empathetic and insightful Ren reaction! I liked 👍 it and subscribed 🔔. I wonder why you did no more Ren after it? If it has to be metal, the masterly storytelling of horrendously sad stories in 🎸🎺🏥🔪 The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full 13 min version) fits the category, although it is played on the classical guitar only.
Ren has got an awesome back catalogue, and I'd be really happy looking forward to you discovering it. What do you want to see and hear next? A ballady thing w/guitar? 🎸🧑🎤🧑🎤💊⚪ Ren X Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines (live). Rap? 🐟&🍟🚢🌊 Genesis. Fun stuff? 👯👯👯👯❤🎶 Love Music. Raggae? 🎸🎸🎸🥁 The Big Push - I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip Hop (red suspenders). Hard beats? 💉🐷💊 Sick Boi or 🦁🐷🦍 Animal Flow. Goofy madness? 🚲🐺🦍 Losing It! (FISHER Rap). Another great one-take storytelling short movie? 🚗🔫 Murderer or 💰🐚 Money Game! Deep thoughts? ☁ Dear God or Dominoes. Trippy electronica? 🎹💊 Diazepam. Souly-folksy Rap? "Do you Believe?". Bluesy? "Hold On!" or Everybody Drops. More singing? 🧑🎤 Humble. Have great fun!
If you want to e-meet Ren, he is on Twitch at @renmakestwitch . Usually when there is a release of new songs, in 2023 he released 17 music videos, and for a time that happened roughly every other week. Often on a Thursday.
Ren's new album 🎶💿🐷 Sick Boi has just come out in October. It is 🔥🔥🔥... check it out! And is doing really well in a number of countries. #ineverchasednumbersstatisticsorstars #hiren #ren
Check out his video 🎻🎻🎹💰🐚 Money Game, Part 3.
Now know, what you just watched was done live, That was singing and playing in real time!
I’m on a year long Ren deep dive at this point and he never stops impressing me
All shot in one take. He is definitely a one in a generational talent. Definitely worth going down the rabbit hole that is Ren. He calls his style bardcore.
This is the song for 2023 it's hits so hard!
Had to get high to listen to this again. Man the message at the end felt like my life in a nutshell. Crazy good.
Absolutely, I second every single thing that you said in this.
You HAVE to react to The Tale of Jenny and Screech full.
It's a whole different kind of MASTERPIECE.
Great art transcends genre
Thanks for doing this. It's my introduction to you. Gotta be honest though, most of the people in the chat were annoying. LOL... YOUR reaction was great though.
Ren is simply amazing
Do his trilogy next! Bardcore
Smiling/laughing through this and sprinkling in your patronizing ok’s is telling
Number 71 in top music video when i watched this.
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, a 1st responder thru 40 years of hurricanes in fla ,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 what 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 of bringing my ideas to the world 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.. and my chances of succeeding alone are close to those of getting out of quicksand alone..
I think this is on par with, Eminem Darkness.
We should all climb out of our music boxes occasionally. Since you posted this I have committed to listening to some metal for the first time since 1972. Any suggestions? Be gentle.
I loved the live reactions. Subbed.
Check out Ren's channel. Metal is my 'go to' genre, but I like to give everything a go. This does hit hard, hence its millions of views. He crosses genres and generations, and thats quite something to achieve. Original, even though the way it's done has been done before.
Love Plan B and Eminem, has to be said.
Great reaction , you have to do The Tale of Jenny and Screech mind blowing again
Alot of people in your live definitely didn't understand this song
