      Hello!
      Thrilled you gave Ren a chance! Loved your reaction! I hope you'll continue to react to his prolific and genre-bending catalog.
      Ren is not only a PHENOMENAL musicial artist, storyteller, producer, and composer, he's also one of the best human beings on the planet :)
      If you go down this rabbit hole be prepared for your subscriber count to explode. We RENagades thrive on witnessing newbies experience Ren's genius! 🙋‍♀️💖

      It's the natural follow on to 'Hi Ren' especially as she just looked up and saw he suffered from undiagnosed Lyme Disease [who noted the Easter Egg on the back of the wheelchair?] and the resulting medical mistreatment and iatrogenic harm. The Sick Boi interaction lays that out.

      That's how I interpret it too. I think the vocalizations represent the eternal dance from the ending monologue. The intro vocalizing is quite stiff, precise and controlled. The ending vocalizing is more passionate, flowing and free.

    Welcome to the Reniverse ♥
    Pretty sure, from what I saw in this reaction, that you're gonna love it here. This guy's been a brilliant songwriter/musician/storyteller for a long time now - ridiculously prolific with astoundingly consistently high-calibre output, for an independent artist with no funding, and would have been even more prolific (in terms of volume of content available) had he not been virtually bedbound with Lyme disease for 7+ years (& still having to be very careful to keep his symptoms manageable, even now).

I also recommend you check out someone Ren refers to as a "musical sibling" : Chinchilla. Check out the live versions of "1:5" or "fingers" please

    • @KeluRolen
      @KeluRolen 27 дней назад

      Yes, it's like she got on this kick of putting DID on it and wouldn't relent, even when he said "a battle with his subconscious".
      Every time she mentioned his alter I was like... Not an alter
      Edit: reached the end of the video and at least she did eventually land on the concept of that voice of self doubt. Aside from the early DID stuff, was a great reaction.

    So, the message to take from this interaction within this song is that rejection leads nowhere. Hope isn't rejecting the darkness, it is accepting it as it is standing against anyway. We can't rid ourselves of darkness we can only dance with it.

    The collabs with Eden Nash and many a more artists.
    This guy is MUSIC AND MUSIC IS REN.
    From rock to pop to rap to just instrumentals with guitars and pianos he does it all and does it masterfully.
    He is the PRINCE of our time if i can compare him to anything out there and that doesn't even does him justice.

    Most of "us" really enjoy watching someone experience Ren for the first time. You did a wonderful job! Your initial looks of confusion quickly changed to looks of appreciation and understanding (combined with amazement and appreciation). You're good! You said, "That alter is boiling my blood!" That's one of the best comments I have heard after at LEAST 100 reactions! I would HIGHLY recommend that you listen to this again by yourself... no reaction... just you and Ren. This is SO deep that it takes multiple listens to truly start to grasp all the obvious (and not so obvious) meanings. THEN come back and read through some of the comments. Then listen again a few times. This is, in my opinion, one of the deepest and most profound musical masterpieces I have ever heard. Great reaction young lady! (p.s. Yes, he has suffered with multiple issues for years. That he can create and perform such insanely good music is incredible!)

    This really is the tip of the iceberg as far as Ren's talent you have one hell of a ride in front of you if you want to see more of him.
    Ren is self taught as far as the instruments he plays, he is so talented it's as if music flows through and out of his body.
    He was signed to Sony as a teenager but unfortunately got very sick before they could complete his first album so they parted ways. He has Lyme disease and went undiagnosed for a very long time which in turn caused irreparable damage his body and brain. He is currently in Canada receiving treatment in the hope to improve his quality of life. He has an incredible back catalogue of music and you never know what you're going to get with him. A lot of his videos are filmed live and in one take, they've even won two awards. He also played in a busking band called The Big Push and they have some incredible covers that will make your head spin. Ren really can do it all he's a once in a lifetime artist who deserves all the recognition and success. RUclips reactors have played a big part in getting him the exposure he has today, he got a number 1 album in the uk last year which is incredible for an independent artist.
    Songs I recommend covering next are.
    Sick boi
    Seven sins
    The tale of Jenny and screech
    Chalk outlines
    Suic!de
    How to be me
    The money game trilogy
    And I highly recommend watching his 1 million subscribers video.
    Welcome to the world of Ren I'm sure all the renegades will be along to support you very soon.

    Love seeing someone’s introduction to Ren through Hi Ren. Definitely a journey you will enjoy.
    There were no alters. It was all Ren battling hi subconscious. You just missed when he said it because you pause at the moment he stated it in the song. For what it’s worth you might try rewinding the song 5 seconds or so when you stop so you don’t miss parts like that, also helps with keep the flow of the song. IMHO 🙏
    Great reaction, looking forward to seeing your Ren journey. Welcome to the Renegades 🤙

  • @kylefrandsen2665
    @kylefrandsen2665 Месяц назад +3

    Ren's album, "Sick Boi" hit #1 on the U.K. charts and landed on the Billboard Top 200 Albums even though he has no record label and wasn't able to do any promotion besides social media because he was in Canada getting daily I.V. treatments (among other treatments) for months before the release. He's just THAT good.
    Ren, at times, thought his disease was going to kill him, so he cherishes the life that he has now and uses his success to uplift others and point out problems in society (even if he doesn't know the solutions). He's not only talented beyond anyone I can think of (and I've seen a lot of talent), but he genuinely seems like a nice guy.
    I try to mention to all reactors new to Ren, do NOT react to "Jenny's Tale", "Screech's Tale" or "Violet's Tale" as separate reactions. Although they are available as separate videos on his channel, they're a trilogy that should be watched in the correct order in one reaction. Happily, he's provided them put together end-to-end, in full, as a single video titled "The Tale of Jenny & Screech" (it includes "Violet's Tale even though it's not in the title). This trilogy is what's been dubbed Ren's own genre - "bardcore" - for his storytelling style. He's not just a singer/songwriter, but a well-rounded performer with great acting chops as well.
    You will notice that Ren and his usual video partner, cinematographer/videographer Samuel Perry-Falvey, are huge fans of live, continuous-shot videos. Sam was behind "Hi Ren", "The Tale of Jenny & Screech", "Money Game 1 & 3", and many more. You'll notice Ren is actually wearing a microphone and his guitar is plugged into a wireless transmitter strapped to his back in all of these videos and more.

He has such a range that he defies being limitedThe more you go into his music you’ll discover that the millions of his fans are right when they describe him as a genius. Please don’t delay on our journey. It will reward you and your followers that have yet to find him.

    Ren is a unique talent, in my 64 years Ren is the only artist who has come close to the profound influence Bowie had on me way back in my teenage years.
    Great reaction can't wait to see you do more Ren. Subscribed.

    Definitely check out the Tales of Jenny and Screech (full version) next, for more Ren magic! It’s 13 mins, but it’s a trilogy of 3 songs.

      Yes I agree on the full trilogy, "The Tale of Jenny and Screech ". Next I would suggest "Chalk Outlines" and "The Hunger". I subscribed for more Ren. Welcome to the Ren rabbit warren.✌🇨🇦

    I have a similar type of inner critic that sets the bar high and requests perfection in so much of my life. This masterpiece captures that exhaustive type of back and forth, always judging yourself and trying to meet expectations and when I fail to meet them I punish myself in subtle ways which makes it more difficult for me to meet those goals in the future. It is something I have had all of my life and it drove me for the most part and made me the best I could be in whatever I was doing. Then I had an event happen that gave me PTSD and overwhelming anxiety and depression and I couldn't meet those standards anymore but the critic did not go away. I have started to learn to quiet the critical side, although not very often and I am still not great at it but knowing I can control it somewhat has been helpful.

    Fun Fact: This whole video was done in 1 take. It took 4 tries. The lights flicker when "Evil Ren" is speaking, but NOT when "Good Ren" is speaking. This video is so complex.
    P.S. What Genre is this? It's Ren Genre.

    Ren is therapy for so many from one song he helps so many people open up in ways therapists struggle to do in person.
    First time i watched Hi Ren i had a panic attack but thought i needed to watch it again so i watched someone reacting to it
    that was the best thing i could do i have watched many times since. One thing i think about this song is it needs to be seen
    by every one even in schools after a certain age, because how many children kill themselves because of the negativity
    towards them from nasty comments and bullying to them believing what is said. I went through hell, bullied all through
    school to the point i attempted suicide twice, and to many issues in my life since then I am a recovering alcoholic 11 years
    clean I suffer PTSD and other health issues so the majority of bad days over good is high, if this bullying had been dealt
    with i may have had a reasonable life not the existence i have to deal with now

    After goosebumps and that reaction and in learning Ren's backstory... Definitely worth sitting down for a nine plus minute performance without equal, I would guess you'd agree? You have a huge volume of Ren's music to explore and it's all so unique and vast in scope. Hi Ren was an introduction for a lot of us but I'm sure a lot of Ren's music can blow your mind in other ways, but this one tends to hit deeper for being first. Thank you for your well-rounded reaction, one of the best I've seen, even if turned in late. Lol

    A really great first reaction to Ren, who can initally be quite much for the uninitiated. You were very thoughtful and respectful. Rens music is like a gallery, with many rooms full of different types of artistry displayed. No two pieces are the same, and almost all are crafted by his hands alone. When he does collaborate with other artists, the output is equally as excellent.
    Enjoy your free pass to the museum of RENaissance, but please share your visits with us RENegades.

    This is art of transcendent beauty and an *important* song.
    Artists often struggle with imposter syndrome. There’s a movie starring Olivia Munn called “Violet” that rings of this and was a transformative experience for me-much the same as this song resonates.
    As a person who’s never been able to escape negative self-talk and imposter syndrome, *realizing* that I can exert the strength that destructive voice questions-strength that already resides within me-was sooo important.
    It takes time to push past the negativity-to make your own voice stronger, but if anyone out there is struggling with this, please please please *know* that you can do it.
    *Know* that I believe in you… but you don’t need me to-just like you don’t need the shroud of doubt that feels first of protection and then as a prison.
    You are *stronger* than that voice.
    You are stronger than you can *possibly* know…
    until you push back with softness or aggression-your choice.

    Rajieen! It's 25 different MENA singers on a collaboration about Palestine. Has like 8+ million views.
    Edit: it also has English subtitles for viewers who don't speak Arabic. It's a beautiful song that reaches across genres for great cause.
