Hope you all enjoy my review and thoughts on Ren’s masterpiece trilogy. Amazed at his work. Remember you are loved and you matter!!! It’s all connected ❤ oh and remember to SUBSCRIBE
The high heels, the rosy on her cheeks, walking the streets a thousand times, she was a hooker...neither her nor screech had a good childhood. Edit: Ah, you got there eventually after in the end, my bad. Figured you'd have brought that up during the first time around XD
Violet's tale happened in 2005 (two zero zero five) and Jenny and Screech's tale happened in 2019, 14 years later. Twins separated at birth and then Screech ends up killing his twin without knowing she existed. Jenny inherited her mother's silence and Screech inherited his father's violence. Jenny knew the streets and walked them in high heels which tells you a bit about her and what she became. Another interesting part is when he knocks on his friend Patrick's door and he wasn't there and then calls his girlfriend who said she was busy was because they were actually together behind his back. He made some Instagram stories to fill in the gaps. It's a story of how history repeats and how tragedy follows through generations. He's such an amazing storyteller. He calls his musical genre "Bardcore" which is perfect. He's a modern day minstrel or bard...
Tho I was aware of all of those details (many ppl are not) this is the best concise written summary I've seen. Also, the high heels throw a lot of ppl off from realizing that Jenny was only 14 years old, as she was 14 year old Screech's twin sister. This trilogy/song hits so heavy & so close to home, as my birthmother was also SA/violently abused and I was given up for adoption at birth, never knowing my birthmother and also never knowing or realizing I had a birth sister, until over 40 years later.
@@markstone1619Also, the fact that she knew the streets and the night life while walking on high heel shoes softly implies that Jenny could have been a prostitute, which makes it that more fucking disturbing considering her age.
I (61) just discovered Ren via seeing "Hi Ren" just under two weeks ago. That video blew me away and I shared and recommended it a "Gesamtkunstwerk" since it entails everything (lyrics, music acting and cinematography) at least 30 times, the video and the artist are that important. I cannot get enough of Ren. I became a Ren-dear: I watched all his videos and listend to all his songs (some don't have videos) on Spotify. You can just listen to his songs which is sufficient to admire him and his art, but you miss out on his acting and the masterful cinematography of his friend Sam.
I'm a 54-year-old avowed metalhead who's seen some sh*t, but that last line in Violet's Tale was a punch to my gut the first time I heard it. Even now, coming up on nearly a dozen different reactions viewed, I still tear up. It's such a tragically perfect framing of the generational cycle of violence within families.
Same! Hated Rap my whole life! Until Ren! Imo... it's cause Ren is so intelligent... lyrically pertinent in his songs! That I believe, is the reason most Rappers don't like him, cause they don't have the grasp of the english language, to know or understand, the meanings in his lyrics! I've seen countless reactions from so called rappers/reactors... who don't know the meaning of what I call basic words! Missing the main meaning of his stories! As an intelligent Rapper today... it's gonna make alot of uneducated people dislike him for that reason alone... instead of looking up the meaning of words... they just dismiss him as another bad White Rapper! Sad really!
That Jenny, in the beginning, who we later find out to be the daughter of Violet, stays still as a statue, when Violet stays silent. So much juxtaposition between the tales, when you listen back a few times. A storyteller is Ren, whether by rap or by rhyme.
In Jenny’s tale, after Screech reached for his Knife in the sheath, you paused mid verse then didn’t rewind back a few seconds, I think this is why you missed the reason she was lying on the floor: “he swung possessed with the devil in his chest and the statue she was turned to butter in a breath”, meaning he quickly cut her down. She found someplace to sleep (eternal sleep) and she escaped, but not in the way she wanted (escaped in death).
I took it to mean that she wanted to escape her life, not just escape London. I wondered if Jenny was a teenage prostitute. Not many 14 year old girls have walked those streets 1000 times, late at night, and dream of escaping.
@@AnthonyLauder yes. I get the feeling that she was possibly a prostitute as well. Whether she wanted to escape that life as well as where she lived depends on the interpretation. But either way, her escape in the end wasn’t what she intended.
Ren did an interview where he spoke on the task of entertaining people who were simultaneously desisitized and ultra sensitized. We are very desensitized to violence and another reactor made a very good guess that this was Rens way of making us face it for just a moment, what it really is. When he stands from the hospital bed and pauses to shake himself, it's looks like he's preparing to be the entertainer but knowing how bad it will be. I've wondered how he was able to portray such an accurate performance of such situations- did he read survivor stories, does he have friends who have been through it, has he been through it himself? Because the details there were startling.... There's nothing like him that I know of. His depth and ability seem to never end. You in particular would probably like his Big Push covers, the vocals he puts out are just ridiculous. But also Money Game 1& 2- this man has conviction like no other. His passionate stance on the way greed is destroying our world and his focus on reminding us that we are all a part of it whether we know it or not, jeeeebus. I really can't understand how this man has been overlooked for so long, that in itself is heartbreaking 💔 If you needed proof that our money driven systems really just want us bobbing our heads to cardi b while they burn the world down behind us, here it is. THIS should have been played at the Grammys. Every year. Just so we don't forget what art looks like, we humans are forgetful like that.......
@@GhostWatcher2024 It was more the calling Violet a fckjng slut, which could have been just to fit the ryhme but slut and whore are two of the most commonly used slurs when abusive men get angry. Like their first thing is always to try to down grade the women verbally, make her appear as shitty as they feel. Then there was the way she pretended to sleep when he came in. Again, could have just been coincidence but this is a tactic I think most abused women use. Treat the mfer like a T-Rex, if I don't move he might not notice me or just get distracted and walk away from me. I've done it. I luckily left that relationship before it became physically abusive but I remember tucking myself into the corner of our room and pretending to read when he would come in, hoping he would just walk back out if I stayed quiet and still. He would also accuse me of lying all the time, cheating (why you such a little liar?) even though my world revolved around him. My life was work, home, cleaning, cooking and somehow he still fabricated this crazy idea that I was just using him. Found out later that's HIS game, using women for money and then just going psycho on them. He got me to pay $2000 of his court shit but I still consider it a bargain considering what I escaped. Just feels like he isn't just guessing at how those fateful moments go down.....
Modern day Chaucer; Canterbury Tales individual stories that intertwine. Medieval bard in modern day London; not just his musicality, but his intellect is mesmerizing. Genius may be an understatement when it comes to Ren.🙏🏻🇺🇸🇬🇧✨💖🌹
Rosalie is the "ren" of reaction videos ... his music(art) makes you feel things , then you watch reaction videos in the hope that someone experienced it the same way. Rosalie seems like one of the only few who shares that emotion and influence, and truly appreciates his work, not just using his work for views.... grateful for his genius, greatful for her realness😊
Wow! 😮 thank you for this comment. This really means a lot. I love his work and it means a lot to hear that being myself and sharing my thoughts brings value to the world. Thank you
@@rosalieelliottofficial it does bring value to the world... And like... it was so interesting hearing you talk about what Screech's background might have been, and how that could influence his behaviors.... knowing you hadn't yet watched Violet's tale. Of course it wasn't prescient, because it's just you being aware of these phenomena that are all too common... but it was a lovely juxtaposition, and I appreciated you saying it _before_ you "knew".
The thing I find crazy is that Jenny and Screech's tales were written 7 years before Violet's tale and how well violets story builds upon her kids. Ren is oh so talented.
The interconnectedness - Ren even mentions the cop kind of being forced to kill. His life was changed too. Also, I just LOVE his guitar being a used as a prop. So creative that man is. Thanks for a great reaction.
You're going to get so much extra content. This trilogy is crazy. Yeah I reckon Jenny was a street walker, no 14yr old wears high heeled shoes, screech had no chance. They were born side by side and died side by side (one street apart)😭
@@davem12dim17 not in the UK they don't which is where this is performed. They generally wear trainers or boots. I haven't seen any teenager let alone a 14yr old wearing high heels unless they're trying to look older(eg get into pub) It was at night, she'd walked the streets a thousand times and wanted to escape.
@@davem12dim17 I knew you were going to come back with Newcastle🤣, yeah I'll give you that, Newcastle is a law unto themselves, they also refuse to wear coats in -5°🤣 half my family are Geordies
@@davem12dim17 14 year olds wear heels walking the streets at night thousands of times? Try to get the context again, it is quite clear she was a street walker.
The tune he uses in the intro is "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" let nothing you dismay....oh tidings of comfort and joy. References A Christmas Carol, and, for me, The Little Match Girl.
The fact that twins usually see the lights of life on the same day makes it even more beautiful and sad... Twins that never knew each other died on the same day. Ren is a wonderful and mesmerizing, he's a modern Bard. Imagine having him with a guitare around a fire camp on a clear night sky.
Fun fact: the beginning of Jennys Tale is from "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" which may be a nod to how Jenny found a place to "sleep" or another word for sleep is rest
Maybe loosely similar to the carol melody but definitely not an exact match. I think the meaning correlation is a stretch. I've heard people compare his melody to many songs.
That's why is says,"London city, far from pretty, 2-0-0-5, a lady down in Paddington just lost the will to stay alive." (2005)+14=2019 when he wrote the song.
I just love the way he walks around with that guitar all over town and tells a hell of a story. I'm easily distracted and I stayed glued to the screen. 😆
Yeah. This. When I first saw Hi Ren, I didn't think I'd ever see anything so raw, authentic and powerful again. Then I saw the full Tale of Jenny and Screech. Violet's tale in particular hits so deeply.
This trilogy/song hits so hard & so close to home, as my birthmother was also SA/violently abused and I was given up for adoption at birth, never knowing my birthmother and also never knowing or realizing I had a sister, until over 45 years later. When I finally did meet my sister we were both shocked to learn we hung out in the exact same neighborhood and we likely saw each other in passing, yet totally unaware we were brother & sister. Ren even far surpasses the 'one of a million' category of talent/creativity qualities and all of his work is simply jaw-dropping.
I've listened to/watched this song over a dozen times in the last month. I've watched another dozen or more reactions. When you came to the realization at the end of Violet's Tale and just said "no," my eyes totally welled up with tears.
Same here. Proves what Rosalie stated earlier about the ripple effect, It happened when our eyes welled up of what had just happened in dismay. Heart strings, tear jerkers heck I don’t know what you call this very raw emotional state. Shockified, petrified and mortified; pleading feeling within myself with feeling of sorrow; pleading don’t let this happen! I’m still mortified, horrified half past midnight I’m afraid to sleep after watching this. I’m having nightmares of imaginary in my head and feel completely sick to my stomach thinking about the blade and the teeth on a knife and the violence, messed up lives gone in a flash. Our society is broken. What does it take to SAVE A LIFE? I think of another story to long to mention here but it’s about ironicly a girl named Jenny fighting drug addiction. Her story is on line; you can search under “To Write LOVE ON HER ARMS. I bought the tshirt 15-20 years ago and still have it to remind myself to have empathy for people like Jenny because the last thing they need is criticism when they are trying to fight their demons.
What you thought sounded hopeful at the start of Violets Tale was actually harrowing, a different kind of upbeat, but a frantic or urgent sort. He’s genius with his ability to paint a whole picture. Honestly.
Ren has a special power to move me in ways I've never thought possible. I truly believe he is a gift to the world! Rosalie, thank you for your heartfelt reaction and insightful analysis 🙏🙏🙏
Can’t wait to see your reaction. I bet it broke you.. like it broke me. As a survivor of DV and childhood trauma.. it hit me like a tonne of bricks. But it’s sooo important for people to witness and be disgusted by it through art.. so that maybe things might shift in society.
It’s incredible how quickly we become invested in the characters in the trilogy. We are deeply affected by what befalls them. This is testament to Ren’s talent. His storytelling is off the charts. Ren truly is a real artist. I am so thankful that I discovered Ren’s music. I am 56 and I am excited about an artist for the first time in decades. Thank you for this reaction Rosalie. I love how you go deep into a song and go through the psychology behind the different parts of it. I have been looking forward to this reaction for a while and it was worth the wait. Violet’s Tale is like a punch to the gut the first time you hear those last words. I think most of us felt that same pain as realisation of what we’ve just heard sinks in. Great video, thank you Rosalie. 🏴🙏🏻
I am 70 and suffer from one of the many autoimmune diseases not only has he given my situation voice but my love of poetry and storytelling is totally satiated.
I'm really shocked that Violets Tale has no warning for DA survivors, I saw a reactor that was abused just break down and have to walk away before finishing the song.
Rosalie's reactions are like the cherry on top of Ren's creations ❤️ The depth of her emotions and knowledge in her analysis are the match his music deserves ❤️❤️❤️ It truly helps me process Ren's work, and others, now that I've found her channel! With music this heavy, if we can't "talk" about it with others doesn't have a proper release ❤️ I appreciate you, Rosalie!!
SERIOUSLY I thought about you when I watched this trilogy for the first time because I know how deeply you feel the lyrics and true emotions artists like Ren and NF bring out of us, so right when I saw this I said to myself with a giggle, "Yep, Ren's going to have Rosalie crying again when she gets around to reacting to this one" at the time time I'm wiping a few of my own years away and blowing my nose haha. Now I have to have to wait till eleven am, that's eight and a half hours from now to sob along with you 😂😢 On his RUclips page Ren has a video up from 6 months ago where he does all three songs live in front of a big crowd in a event he set up in one of the alleyways he filmed the original videos. He throws in a 4th song in between "The Tale of Screech" and "Violets Tale" that fits with the trilogy. But it's not an important part of the story. But Ren was blown away by the turn out.
The CD has a few extra tracks that go with the story but they don't change the story just add a bit more context. So stoked to get at least one of his CDs all the others were sold out.
Oh my, you are precious! What you said after the reaction is so valuable. Having faced death twice, once as a child with leukaemia, again at 41 with cancer, and still here battling with the after effects at 62 I learned what matters in life. Leave a positive footstep wherever you walk, even in difficult circumstances. If you can’t be positive say nothing. As my late mom used to say, ‘silence is golden’. A valuable 44 minutes of my life spent here, unlike the myriad of 44 minutes wasted on soaps and reality TV entertainment. Live life and make it count every minute possible, because it can change or end dramatically in the blink of an eye ❤️🇬🇧
I really love how this at times sounds like a murder ballad from Victorian times (or even earlier). Apart from being a most fitting choice of style for this tale, it also seems to show how timeless this story is.
I have watched the trilogy many times now, mostly in reactions. Now 60 I cannot recall an artists like Ren, singer, guitarist, storyteller, actor an observer of life and the world around us. I do hope as Rens star rightly rises his friend Sam is not overlooked. I think of two friends planning the filming of these pieces, I'm sure Sam also contributed greatly in the conception of the videos we see. It has struck me also with this wandering minstral approach of days of old when these people would sing stories as Ren does across the country, like precursors to news readers. Rosalie, thank you again for great insight and analysis.
I follow Ren reactions because I’m a Ren fan, however I have discovered some RUclips sites, as a result of this, that are outstanding in their analysis. You are top of that list. Subscribed.
At the start of Violet's Tale when you said "This sounds hopeful" I felt bad having listened to these songs many many times and knowing how hope was completely lost. Ren is such a brilliant story teller and musician and is phenomenal at taking you on an emotional rollercoaster.
A message of hope from Ren, watch the back ally performance to hear the whole thing but to paraphrase This shows what can happen to people who come from the same source. As is now with the far left oversensitive and far right over angry... we all come from the same place and if we love ❤️ the people who annoy us most we'll meet in the middle and hope these tragedies won't happen Love your reactions... I've had to steal my brothers phone to leave this message Thanks for everything x
Old English medieval music vibes. Medieval storyteller's were called minstrels they travelled from village to village telling stories of woe and heroes. Ren captures this long lost art in this trilogy. Fascinating
Many reacts don't get it at first but right at the start of Jenny's Tale when she is going home to sleep we are told she is trying to escape her life/lifestyle/neighborhood. It's totally understandable to miss that bid since it's right at the beginning and a first listener is still "landing on Ren's dimension", confused, overwhelmed and in shock.
Jenny and Screech were twins making her 14 years-old as well. She walks the streets about a thousand times before in high-heeled shoes. She's as much of a street kid as screech.
Amazing Reaction, and such an important message at the end. Thank you. May I put my name behind Dominoes, Humble, Power? He has so many songs that fit your channel so well. I think I keep watching this as a commitment, as a repeated promise to myself to do what you say, to not close the door behind me and hide, but to reach out, to see and listen as much as I can, to smile and encourage. Never give up.
"I'm going to rewind, this sounds more hopeful and upbeat" - oh you poor summer child. Seriously, I was trying to work out why this hits so hard, but I think you hit on the reason. I'm now sure Ren purposely started Violet's tale with an upbeat tune, so when the story gut punches you, it hits even harder.
I love art. And this ranks pretty high in the art category. Shakespeare and Beethoven would be proud of what this young man can do with a single instrument and some words. I've just never really heard an artist like him in my 41 years on this floating rock.
Great reaction, please do Crutch next, Filmed 6 years ago when Ren basically had a breakdown as he did not have a diagnoses of what was happening to him.
Great breakdown of the song Rosalie, it's a very heartbreaking one to absorb, Ren is a master of all trades, not just rap and guitar but the way he performs his songs, his honesty, so raw and relatable, he really is the bard for our time.
ooh! I get excited at the start of this every time! (to see the reactor's mind get blown! 🤯😅 yes, when you get to the end the image of Jenny (a 14year old) walking the streets at night in high heeled shoes, the streets she's walked a thousand times, suggests that she was a "lady of the night" (albeit she was just 14years old) - another hidden tragedy within the rest.
If you have seen this trilogy read on, otherwise STOP HERE: . . . . I Hope you had on your seat belt while seeing this one. That last bit of Violets tale, where we first meet "a girl named Jenny and a boy named Screech" wrecked my freaking mind. I also saw a post from Ren saying Patrick his friend was not home because he was at Screeches GF place, having an affair with her. This is my opinion, his finding out his boy Patric nor his GF were loyal, this sent Screech even further into rage mode as the cop arrived. This contributed to him being mad enough to face off with the cop knowing he had a knife and was charging someone with a gun. A suicide by cop scenario ensued. Peace everyone.
This was a great reaction and analysis. This one shows how much Ren is like a modern bard with how he’s able to be poetic with guitar accompaniment and perform theatrically in these videos and songs as the sole performer. He’s so captivating and able to pull us into the depths of the stories he tells and feel the profound meaning of his message. His stories and lyrics are also very relatable and with how things are in the world today, this is refreshing to hear art like this that has powerful meanings. I love his talent with the guitar. At the beginning of Violet’s tale, the second melody gave me a medieval vibe like you’d hear is a troupe or tavern as a bard is preparing the audience for the story he’s about to tell. Also in Screech’s tale, after the guitar intro, when he starts singing, the music almost didn’t sound like it was a guitar to me the first time I heard it. Almost sound like it was coming fome a keyboard synthesizer. It’s amazing his skill with the guitar and how versatile he is with an acoustic/classical guitar.
Love how he includes all his musical influences in his work. The rap,classical guitar, and when he sings you can hear that reggae in there. Reggae music is one if his biggest influences. This dude is special
Greetings from Germany and a very big thanks for your very wholesome words!!! They mean a lot to me and are like the light at the end of a long and dark tunnel! Hope and Love are by far the strongest and I would also say most important Feelings in this universe!
I want the story of Jenny, Screech, and Violet to be made into a movie. And Ren must be the writer, producer, and the actor performing as Screech. No exceptions.
Hi! Thank you for your great reaction. I discovered Ren few weeks ago and I like so much his music, the text, how he could play to the guitar. Following your reaction I have possibility to understand more deeply the content of lyrics.❤❤❤
About Jenny; she was portraited as 14 years old girl who walks the same streets over and over again in high heels. Then as she gets murdered Ren finishes her story with "I guess she escaped". I personally get the idea of Jenny was kind of forced into a life of a prostitute and been victim of this abusive world and been always quiet about it. Just like her mother Violet. And.. people seem to forget Violet's mother was also quiet to her husband's abuse. Same pattern follows with Screech. Just brilliant details in such simple yet amazing storytelling.
Ren uses the building to reverberate his voice. And when his voice travels up the staircase, there’s no light at the top… a sign of the darkness about to be told.
Love the openness and genuine emotion in your reactions. Really appreciate the depth you go to analysing Ren’s music and I love how much you “get” it. Much love from Scotland 🏴
the thing I think most don't talk about is what he doesn't say. the story becomes more personal because we fill in the blanks he leaves so it is a personal story. so many talk about his story telling but we help write it by filling in the blanks. conclusion he brings the story teller out in us
As a backdrop to this. The UK is suffering from an almost epidemic of knife crime, and London is particularly bad. There are so many teens out there right now carrying knives. It is a terrible situation. I have been looking forwards to seeing you react to these tales. Ren's ability to create stories with all the tools available to him is remarkable. This is a modern day Shakesperian tragedy, in a terrifyingly real setting, told by a modern day bard. Jenny, quiet and still like her mother, Screech agressive and short temperd like his father - traits crossing generations but who knew? Another astonishing fact. All 3 tales were recorded in one take. And live. I have been on this crazy spinning rock for over half a century, but I have never in my life seen a tallent like Ren! Amazing. Great reaction. You brought some interesting new perspectives which I enjoyed.
You could even take it back one more generation. Violets dad was violent, abusing her and her mom stayed silent, even though she knew what he was doing.
Almost like all those gun control laws and bans didn't do anything to stop violent crime... hmm. I'll take the hate for saying this, I just wanted to point that out.
@@noodles7157 No hate. You are just wrong. I mean we had 1 mass shooting. We banned guns. We have never had another mass shooting. It is pretty plain to see. And yes there is a knife crime problem, but it is among the youths. Not accross the board like with guns. 2022 saw 11,517 knife crime reports in the UK (Not just deaths, over all crime rate), and 49,000 gun deaths in the US. I just wanted to point that out.
@@MattDavey68 have you taken into account the total population in the UK vs the total population in the US? Bc that matters. The UK pop. In 2022 was 67,500,000 and the USA pop. Was 338,000,000. That is a bit over 5 times the people in the UK. When taken into account that means there was more knife violence per person in the UK than gun violence per person in the US. People will do evil things no matter the tool they use. Gun violence statistics also most of the time include suicides for whatever reason. Suicides by gun account for 54% of gun deaths in 2022. Again, Im not trying to be aggressive.
Hi! I'm from Czech republic. I watched this video beforehand and after that I was watching some reactions, and when Violet's tale was ending I knew, that you feel it coming. That crazy ending twist. And to be honest I was in therapeutic community to cure myself from PC games addiction, and as you said it wasn't easy in any way. First I was in denial, because I was sent there by my mom, but after some time I've opened my eyes, and saw the problem at hand. Truth is, that I didn't made it to this day without any problem, but I'm trying, and I know, that it will stay with me for rest of my life.
3:24 - #Bardcore for life! Ren's a master at using old traditional refrains that keep popping up through folk and classical music to the modern day. That's almost something you'd expect to hear at market during the late Renaissance. We need to get Brandon Acker to analyze and place Ren's playing...
This is one of the best reactions to this, thank you. As cold as it may sound, I wanted to see someone to react to this and the sudden realisation of the complexity of the story exposed. Thank you. And thanks too to #Ren for his story telling.
Hallo/ Hola/ Hello Rosalie, I've been waiting patiently for you to do more ren reactions I had suggested a few (including this) in a past comment and wanted you to do this. I'm writing this midway through your analysis so sorry I paused your beautiful soul hehe. I just wanted to add my two cents (also if you have the same thoughts and I just haven't listed them yet I'm sorry). So here it is: 1. I found it very interesting how jenny inherited her mother's Flight/Flight/Freeze response. Violet (V) " was a silent girl" Jenny (J) "Jenny freezes, statue-like, a lady-shaped stalactite Fear like liquid nitrogen in the dark night, She tried to find the strength to move But stayed as still as a statue in high-heeled shoes" Where screech (S) seemingly inherited his father's predisposition for violence and anger. *I tried to convey my meaning here but my dyslexia sometimes makes it hard to get my thoughts down using the proper words. I hope you understand what I am trying to say. The line about J I just quoted blew me away "Lady-shaped stalactite" I mean WOW! THE TALES are such a sad reality of a society where children, adults and the elderly abuse (oh and animals) does occur. I used to work work with the elderly up until my botched spinal surgery left me disabled. I'm currently looking into opportunities to volunteer with one or more of these groups but I am not physically well enough, so might be with animals for the time being and maybe try and find a service be it online or by phone where I could maybe do my part to try and combat loneliness whether that be phone calls or online. Being in that field if you know any remorse I could youse I'd appreciate the tip. I completed a biomedical science degree intending to go on and study Neuropsychopharmacology (as so many people are suffering and it breaks my heart) with an interest in using psyidelc s as medication ie death anxiety and stuff the research I've read fascinates me. Anyway enough about me. Bla bla bla lol There's a ren song(s) I think you should react to it's called " Depression ". Its a lyrical video and I believe there's another called "Insomnia " Oh and there is a song you have to check out ren and chinchilla's "how to be me" *some background it is filmed on a bridge and is about a friend who took his own life by jumping g off a bridge. And unfortunately, his body was never recovered (Hope that's not a spoiler I just feel the song hits differently when you know ). I hope you see this if you do could you like it or comment I hate not knowing things and my anxiety will make me feel stupid for writing an essay lol. Anyway back to your video I love your reactions and can't wait to hear your insights. Much love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤️. Gerard Ps Hope I didn't go on too much haha Tschüss
Hope you all enjoy my review and thoughts on Ren’s masterpiece trilogy. Amazed at his work. Remember you are loved and you matter!!! It’s all connected ❤ oh and remember to SUBSCRIBE
Loved your reaction, your interruptation and your takeaway message. Brilliant. Choose life.💙
The high heels, the rosy on her cheeks, walking the streets a thousand times, she was a hooker...neither her nor screech had a good childhood.
Edit: Ah, you got there eventually after in the end, my bad. Figured you'd have brought that up during the first time around XD
We are all in this together. Its a participatory world - there are no observers, only threads in the fabric of the space/time continuum.
@@TrianglesAndCircles beautifully said!! :)
@@Cynthiabecker24 thank you very much :)
Violet's tale happened in 2005 (two zero zero five) and Jenny and Screech's tale happened in 2019, 14 years later. Twins separated at birth and then Screech ends up killing his twin without knowing she existed. Jenny inherited her mother's silence and Screech inherited his father's violence. Jenny knew the streets and walked them in high heels which tells you a bit about her and what she became. Another interesting part is when he knocks on his friend Patrick's door and he wasn't there and then calls his girlfriend who said she was busy was because they were actually together behind his back. He made some Instagram stories to fill in the gaps. It's a story of how history repeats and how tragedy follows through generations. He's such an amazing storyteller. He calls his musical genre "Bardcore" which is perfect. He's a modern day minstrel or bard...
Grateful for this breakdown
Tho I was aware of all of those details (many ppl are not) this is the best concise written summary I've seen.
Also, the high heels throw a lot of ppl off from realizing that Jenny was only 14 years old, as she was 14 year old Screech's twin sister.
This trilogy/song hits so heavy & so close to home, as my birthmother was also SA/violently abused and I was given up for adoption at birth, never knowing my birthmother and also never knowing or realizing I had a birth sister, until over 40 years later.
@@markstone1619Also, the fact that she knew the streets and the night life while walking on high heel shoes softly implies that Jenny could have been a prostitute, which makes it that more fucking disturbing considering her age.
This whole story could easily be adapted into a A24 film.
Yes! Bardcore is the closest I've heard for defining Rens genre, love it 😍.
Oh boy. This is a good one. The dude packs a lifetime of data into 3 short songs. Ren so far is the king of subcontext.
I (61) just discovered Ren via seeing "Hi Ren" just under two weeks ago. That video blew me away and I shared and recommended it a "Gesamtkunstwerk" since it entails everything (lyrics, music acting and cinematography) at least 30 times, the video and the artist are that important.
I cannot get enough of Ren. I became a Ren-dear: I watched all his videos and listend to all his songs (some don't have videos) on Spotify.
You can just listen to his songs which is sufficient to admire him and his art, but you miss out on his acting and the masterful cinematography of his friend Sam.
I'm a 54-year-old avowed metalhead who's seen some sh*t, but that last line in Violet's Tale was a punch to my gut the first time I heard it. Even now, coming up on nearly a dozen different reactions viewed, I still tear up. It's such a tragically perfect framing of the generational cycle of violence within families.
Same! Hated Rap my whole life! Until Ren! Imo... it's cause Ren is so intelligent... lyrically pertinent in his songs! That I believe, is the reason most Rappers don't like him, cause they don't have the grasp of the english language, to know or understand, the meanings in his lyrics!
I've seen countless reactions from so called rappers/reactors... who don't know the meaning of what I call basic words! Missing the main meaning of his stories!
As an intelligent Rapper today... it's gonna make alot of uneducated people dislike him for that reason alone... instead of looking up the meaning of words... they just dismiss him as another bad White Rapper!
Sad really!
That Jenny, in the beginning, who we later find out to be the daughter of Violet, stays still as a statue, when Violet stays silent. So much juxtaposition between the tales, when you listen back a few times.
A storyteller is Ren, whether by rap or by rhyme.
I'm a fellow guy born -69, so same age, could not agree more. ;)
@@stefankarlsson4652 55 here, it's starting to look like a meeting for old men!!😂😂
🙈🙉🙊
32 year old USMC veteran here. fuckin same.
In Jenny’s tale, after Screech reached for his Knife in the sheath, you paused mid verse then didn’t rewind back a few seconds, I think this is why you missed the reason she was lying on the floor: “he swung possessed with the devil in his chest and the statue she was turned to butter in a breath”, meaning he quickly cut her down. She found someplace to sleep (eternal sleep) and she escaped, but not in the way she wanted (escaped in death).
Thank you for this response. it clears up a situation many were confused about.
I appreciate that you pointed this out because I was debating it before I read the comments.
When she restarted it, it played, Idk if she caught it but it was playing that part about “swung possessed”
I took it to mean that she wanted to escape her life, not just escape London. I wondered if Jenny was a teenage prostitute. Not many 14 year old girls have walked those streets 1000 times, late at night, and dream of escaping.
@@AnthonyLauder yes. I get the feeling that she was possibly a prostitute as well. Whether she wanted to escape that life as well as where she lived depends on the interpretation. But either way, her escape in the end wasn’t what she intended.
At the start of Violets tale... "It feels more hopefull, it feels more upbeat... " oh dear...
Ren did an interview where he spoke on the task of entertaining people who were simultaneously desisitized and ultra sensitized. We are very desensitized to violence and another reactor made a very good guess that this was Rens way of making us face it for just a moment, what it really is. When he stands from the hospital bed and pauses to shake himself, it's looks like he's preparing to be the entertainer but knowing how bad it will be. I've wondered how he was able to portray such an accurate performance of such situations- did he read survivor stories, does he have friends who have been through it, has he been through it himself? Because the details there were startling....
There's nothing like him that I know of. His depth and ability seem to never end. You in particular would probably like his Big Push covers, the vocals he puts out are just ridiculous. But also Money Game 1& 2- this man has conviction like no other. His passionate stance on the way greed is destroying our world and his focus on reminding us that we are all a part of it whether we know it or not, jeeeebus.
I really can't understand how this man has been overlooked for so long, that in itself is heartbreaking 💔 If you needed proof that our money driven systems really just want us bobbing our heads to cardi b while they burn the world down behind us, here it is. THIS should have been played at the Grammys. Every year. Just so we don't forget what art looks like, we humans are forgetful like that.......
@@GhostWatcher2024 It was more the calling Violet a fckjng slut, which could have been just to fit the ryhme but slut and whore are two of the most commonly used slurs when abusive men get angry. Like their first thing is always to try to down grade the women verbally, make her appear as shitty as they feel.
Then there was the way she pretended to sleep when he came in. Again, could have just been coincidence but this is a tactic I think most abused women use. Treat the mfer like a T-Rex, if I don't move he might not notice me or just get distracted and walk away from me. I've done it. I luckily left that relationship before it became physically abusive but I remember tucking myself into the corner of our room and pretending to read when he would come in, hoping he would just walk back out if I stayed quiet and still. He would also accuse me of lying all the time, cheating (why you such a little liar?) even though my world revolved around him. My life was work, home, cleaning, cooking and somehow he still fabricated this crazy idea that I was just using him. Found out later that's HIS game, using women for money and then just going psycho on them. He got me to pay $2000 of his court shit but I still consider it a bargain considering what I escaped.
Just feels like he isn't just guessing at how those fateful moments go down.....
Well said❤️🤟🙏.
I think he is understanding there are a lot of people that understand,but he has given it voice. I thank him.
@@jeffwilson3205es totally agree, watched those reactions yesterday.. probably the best I've seen.
👏👏👏👏👏👏 perfectly said ❤️
Modern day Chaucer; Canterbury Tales individual stories that intertwine. Medieval bard in modern day London; not just his musicality, but his intellect is mesmerizing. Genius may be an understatement when it comes to Ren.🙏🏻🇺🇸🇬🇧✨💖🌹
Rosalie is the "ren" of reaction videos ... his music(art) makes you feel things , then you watch reaction videos in the hope that someone experienced it the same way. Rosalie seems like one of the only few who shares that emotion and influence, and truly appreciates his work, not just using his work for views.... grateful for his genius, greatful for her realness😊
Wow! 😮 thank you for this comment. This really means a lot. I love his work and it means a lot to hear that being myself and sharing my thoughts brings value to the world. Thank you
@@rosalieelliottofficial it does bring value to the world... And like... it was so interesting hearing you talk about what Screech's background might have been, and how that could influence his behaviors.... knowing you hadn't yet watched Violet's tale. Of course it wasn't prescient, because it's just you being aware of these phenomena that are all too common... but it was a lovely juxtaposition, and I appreciated you saying it _before_ you "knew".
The thing I find crazy is that Jenny and Screech's tales were written 7 years before Violet's tale and how well violets story builds upon her kids. Ren is oh so talented.
The interconnectedness - Ren even mentions the cop kind of being forced to kill. His life was changed too. Also, I just LOVE his guitar being a used as a prop. So creative that man is. Thanks for a great reaction.
You're going to get so much extra content. This trilogy is crazy. Yeah I reckon Jenny was a street walker, no 14yr old wears high heeled shoes, screech had no chance. They were born side by side and died side by side (one street apart)😭
Loads of 14 year olds wear heels, wut?
@@davem12dim17 not in the UK they don't which is where this is performed. They generally wear trainers or boots. I haven't seen any teenager let alone a 14yr old wearing high heels unless they're trying to look older(eg get into pub) It was at night, she'd walked the streets a thousand times and wanted to escape.
@@baobhansith5522 you've never been to Newcastle then 🤣
@@davem12dim17 I knew you were going to come back with Newcastle🤣, yeah I'll give you that, Newcastle is a law unto themselves, they also refuse to wear coats in -5°🤣 half my family are Geordies
@@davem12dim17 14 year olds wear heels walking the streets at night thousands of times? Try to get the context again, it is quite clear she was a street walker.
Kinda crazy how he walks through several generations carrying abuse through to the next....
The tune he uses in the intro is "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" let nothing you dismay....oh tidings of comfort and joy. References A Christmas Carol, and, for me, The Little Match Girl.
The fact that twins usually see the lights of life on the same day makes it even more beautiful and sad...
Twins that never knew each other died on the same day.
Ren is a wonderful and mesmerizing, he's a modern Bard.
Imagine having him with a guitare around a fire camp on a clear night sky.
Fun fact: the beginning of Jennys Tale is from "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" which may be a nod to how Jenny found a place to "sleep" or another word for sleep is rest
Maybe loosely similar to the carol melody but definitely not an exact match. I think the meaning correlation is a stretch. I've heard people compare his melody to many songs.
Your talk reminded me of a quote from Ted Lasso, "there's something far worse than being sad, and that's being alone and sad."
That's why is says,"London city, far from pretty, 2-0-0-5, a lady down in Paddington just lost the will to stay alive." (2005)+14=2019 when he wrote the song.
This one bites, the behavioural cycles and the cinematic feel hit home
Spot on
"God rest yee merry gentleman, let nothing you dismay...." I'd what I always hear from the beginning of Jenny's Tale
I just love the way he walks around with that guitar all over town and tells a hell of a story. I'm easily distracted and I stayed glued to the screen. 😆
People who listen can be everything.
Yeah. This.
When I first saw Hi Ren, I didn't think I'd ever see anything so raw, authentic and powerful again.
Then I saw the full Tale of Jenny and Screech. Violet's tale in particular hits so deeply.
This trilogy/song hits so hard & so close to home, as my birthmother was also SA/violently abused and I was given up for adoption at birth, never knowing my birthmother and also never knowing or realizing I had a sister, until over 45 years later. When I finally did meet my sister we were both shocked to learn we hung out in the exact same neighborhood and we likely saw each other in passing, yet totally unaware we were brother & sister.
Ren even far surpasses the 'one of a million' category of talent/creativity qualities and all of his work is simply jaw-dropping.
I've listened to/watched this song over a dozen times in the last month. I've watched another dozen or more reactions. When you came to the realization at the end of Violet's Tale and just said "no," my eyes totally welled up with tears.
same here 😢
Same here. Proves what Rosalie stated earlier about the ripple effect,
It happened when our eyes welled up of what had just happened in dismay.
Heart strings, tear jerkers heck I don’t know what you call this very raw emotional state. Shockified, petrified and mortified; pleading feeling within myself with feeling of sorrow; pleading don’t let this happen! I’m still mortified, horrified half past midnight I’m afraid to sleep after watching this. I’m having nightmares of imaginary in my head and feel completely sick to my stomach thinking about the blade and the teeth on a knife and the violence, messed up lives gone in a flash.
Our society is broken. What does it take to SAVE A LIFE? I think of another story to long to mention here but it’s about ironicly a girl named Jenny fighting drug addiction. Her story is on line; you can search under “To Write LOVE ON HER ARMS.
I bought the tshirt 15-20 years ago and still have it to remind myself to have empathy for people like Jenny because the last thing they need is criticism when they are trying to fight their demons.
What you thought sounded hopeful at the start of Violets Tale was actually harrowing, a different kind of upbeat, but a frantic or urgent sort. He’s genius with his ability to paint a whole picture. Honestly.
Ren has a special power to move me in ways I've never thought possible. I truly believe he is a gift to the world!
Rosalie, thank you for your heartfelt reaction and insightful analysis 🙏🙏🙏
you don't know how much I love Ren and your reactions of his songs❤
Can’t wait to see your reaction. I bet it broke you.. like it broke me. As a survivor of DV and childhood trauma.. it hit me like a tonne of bricks. But it’s sooo important for people to witness and be disgusted by it through art.. so that maybe things might shift in society.
It’s incredible how quickly we become invested in the characters in the trilogy. We are deeply affected by what befalls them. This is testament to Ren’s talent. His storytelling is off the charts. Ren truly is a real artist. I am so thankful that I discovered Ren’s music. I am 56 and I am excited about an artist for the first time in decades. Thank you for this reaction Rosalie. I love how you go deep into a song and go through the psychology behind the different parts of it. I have been looking forward to this reaction for a while and it was worth the wait. Violet’s Tale is like a punch to the gut the first time you hear those last words. I think most of us felt that same pain as realisation of what we’ve just heard sinks in. Great video, thank you Rosalie. 🏴🙏🏻
50yr old fart Herr and u couldn't agree more mate. Music and art are in great, amd loving hands!!
I am 70 and suffer from one of the many autoimmune diseases not only has he given my situation voice but my love of poetry and storytelling is totally satiated.
@@lynette. I have MS. I know exactly what you mean. 👌🏻
@@TheBorderRyker You know like me it's not the hand we are dealt it's how we deal with it.😊🤗👍
Thank you for your kind comment. I agree. He is a very special artist indeed.
Been looking forward to this. Trigger alerts. "Far from pretty"
I'm really shocked that Violets Tale has no warning for DA survivors, I saw a reactor that was abused just break down and have to walk away before finishing the song.
Rosalie's reactions are like the cherry on top of Ren's creations ❤️ The depth of her emotions and knowledge in her analysis are the match his music deserves ❤️❤️❤️ It truly helps me process Ren's work, and others, now that I've found her channel! With music this heavy, if we can't "talk" about it with others doesn't have a proper release ❤️ I appreciate you, Rosalie!!
Thank you very much :)
@@GhostWatcher2024 I couldn't stop tears if I tried! Lol 😅🥹🥺😭
SERIOUSLY I thought about you when I watched this trilogy for the first time because I know how deeply you feel the lyrics and true emotions artists like Ren and NF bring out of us, so right when I saw this I said to myself with a giggle, "Yep, Ren's going to have Rosalie crying again when she gets around to reacting to this one" at the time time I'm wiping a few of my own years away and blowing my nose haha.
Now I have to have to wait till eleven am, that's eight and a half hours from now to sob along with you 😂😢
On his RUclips page Ren has a video up from 6 months ago where he does all three songs live in front of a big crowd in a event he set up in one of the alleyways he filmed the original videos. He throws in a 4th song in between "The Tale of Screech" and "Violets Tale" that fits with the trilogy. But it's not an important part of the story. But Ren was blown away by the turn out.
almost time :) thank you for your patience. and thank you for the info.
The CD has a few extra tracks that go with the story but they don't change the story just add a bit more context. So stoked to get at least one of his CDs all the others were sold out.
Me too! 😂
Oh my, you are precious! What you said after the reaction is so valuable. Having faced death twice, once as a child with leukaemia, again at 41 with cancer, and still here battling with the after effects at 62 I learned what matters in life. Leave a positive footstep wherever you walk, even in difficult circumstances. If you can’t be positive say nothing. As my late mom used to say, ‘silence is golden’. A valuable 44 minutes of my life spent here, unlike the myriad of 44 minutes wasted on soaps and reality TV entertainment. Live life and make it count every minute possible, because it can change or end dramatically in the blink of an eye ❤️🇬🇧
Thank you for sharing parts of your story and for your kind comment. Well said! I’m glad you’re here to remind us all of this. Well
said indeed.
I really love how this at times sounds like a murder ballad from Victorian times (or even earlier). Apart from being a most fitting choice of style for this tale, it also seems to show how timeless this story is.
I have watched the trilogy many times now, mostly in reactions.
Now 60 I cannot recall an artists like Ren, singer, guitarist, storyteller, actor an observer of life and the world around us. I do hope as Rens star rightly rises his friend Sam is not overlooked. I think of two friends planning the filming of these pieces, I'm sure Sam also contributed greatly in the conception of the videos we see.
It has struck me also with this wandering minstral approach of days of old when these people would sing stories as Ren does across the country, like precursors to news readers.
Rosalie, thank you again for great insight and analysis.
This young man is a modern day Shakespeare
I follow Ren reactions because I’m a Ren fan, however I have discovered some RUclips sites, as a result of this, that are outstanding in their analysis. You are top of that list. Subscribed.
thank you very much!! :)
Same.
Rosalie’s Hi Ren reaction was my first REN reaction. She and he are pretty inspiring.
I love when he plucks the guitar like it sounds the strings are almost about to break.
she last "found a place to sleep" , reminds me of wordplay from Shakespear as in the sleep of death
At the start of Violet's Tale when you said "This sounds hopeful" I felt bad having listened to these songs many many times and knowing how hope was completely lost. Ren is such a brilliant story teller and musician and is phenomenal at taking you on an emotional rollercoaster.
An absolutely fantastic reaction to this crazy phenomenal story by this genius Ren
"This feels more upbeat!"
...oh honey...
I am SO VERY glad you watched the full 3 part with Violet also. The 3rd part is VITAL to see the whole story unfold.
A message of hope from Ren, watch the back ally performance to hear the whole thing but to paraphrase
This shows what can happen to people who come from the same source. As is now with the far left oversensitive and far right over angry... we all come from the same place and if we love ❤️ the people who annoy us most we'll meet in the middle and hope these tragedies won't happen
Love your reactions... I've had to steal my brothers phone to leave this message
Thanks for everything x
Old English medieval music vibes. Medieval storyteller's were called minstrels they travelled from village to village telling stories of woe and heroes. Ren captures this long lost art in this trilogy. Fascinating
The riff at the start of Jenny's tale reminds me of something too. A Christmas song called God rest ye merry gentlemen
Many reacts don't get it at first but right at the start of Jenny's Tale when she is going home to sleep we are told she is trying to escape her life/lifestyle/neighborhood.
It's totally understandable to miss that bid since it's right at the beginning and a first listener is still "landing on Ren's dimension", confused, overwhelmed and in shock.
“It feel’s more upbeat and hopeful.”
Laughs in Ren
Jenny and Screech were twins making her 14 years-old as well. She walks the streets about a thousand times before in high-heeled shoes. She's as much of a street kid as screech.
His writing ability is amazing......Not to mention his skills on guitar.......Genius....
Rosalie "it feels more upbeat, more hopeful" at the beginning of Violet's tale... and then
Amazing Reaction, and such an important message at the end. Thank you. May I put my name behind Dominoes, Humble, Power? He has so many songs that fit your channel so well. I think I keep watching this as a commitment, as a repeated promise to myself to do what you say, to not close the door behind me and hide, but to reach out, to see and listen as much as I can, to smile and encourage. Never give up.
"there are wages to what we do" i've never heard it said like that and i love it
When you find out she is 14 too the high heels make you wonder that her life not so easy either.
Wow, good point. I did not catch that aspect. What other small details did Ren put in the story I wonder?
"I'm going to rewind, this sounds more hopeful and upbeat" - oh you poor summer child.
Seriously, I was trying to work out why this hits so hard, but I think you hit on the reason. I'm now sure Ren purposely started Violet's tale with an upbeat tune, so when the story gut punches you, it hits even harder.
Haha poor summer child. That’s a new one :) so many facets to his work. You may be right. Perhaps to add to the impact
I love art. And this ranks pretty high in the art category. Shakespeare and Beethoven would be proud of what this young man can do with a single instrument and some words.
I've just never really heard an artist like him in my 41 years on this floating rock.
Great reaction, please do Crutch next,
Filmed 6 years ago when Ren basically had a breakdown as he did not have a diagnoses of what was happening to him.
Great breakdown of the song Rosalie, it's a very heartbreaking one to absorb, Ren is a master of all trades, not just rap and guitar but the way he performs his songs, his honesty, so raw and relatable, he really is the bard for our time.
ooh! I get excited at the start of this every time! (to see the reactor's mind get blown! 🤯😅
yes, when you get to the end the image of Jenny (a 14year old) walking the streets at night in high heeled shoes, the streets she's walked a thousand times, suggests that she was a "lady of the night" (albeit she was just 14years old) - another hidden tragedy within the rest.
I like how at the beginning of Violets Tape you looked back at your guitar and was like hey you didn't tell me you could do that.
If you have seen this trilogy read on, otherwise STOP HERE:

I Hope you had on your seat belt while seeing this one. That last bit of Violets tale, where we first meet "a girl named Jenny and a boy named Screech" wrecked my freaking mind. I also saw a post from Ren saying Patrick his friend was not home because he was at Screeches GF place, having an affair with her.
This is my opinion, his finding out his boy Patric nor his GF were loyal, this sent Screech even further into rage mode as the cop arrived. This contributed to him being mad enough to face off with the cop knowing he had a knife and was charging someone with a gun. A suicide by cop scenario ensued. Peace everyone.
A beautiful triptych. Painted with words. A altarpiece of the soul.
I’m crying with you!
This was a great reaction and analysis.
This one shows how much Ren is like a modern bard with how he’s able to be poetic with guitar accompaniment and perform theatrically in these videos and songs as the sole performer. He’s so captivating and able to pull us into the depths of the stories he tells and feel the profound meaning of his message. His stories and lyrics are also very relatable and with how things are in the world today, this is refreshing to hear art like this that has powerful meanings.
I love his talent with the guitar. At the beginning of Violet’s tale, the second melody gave me a medieval vibe like you’d hear is a troupe or tavern as a bard is preparing the audience for the story he’s about to tell. Also in Screech’s tale, after the guitar intro, when he starts singing, the music almost didn’t sound like it was a guitar to me the first time I heard it. Almost sound like it was coming fome a keyboard synthesizer. It’s amazing his skill with the guitar and how versatile he is with an acoustic/classical guitar.
Notifications: [on]/off
Can’t wait 🏴🏴
Intro to Violet's Tale: "feels more upbeat." Ooof.
Love how he includes all his musical influences in his work. The rap,classical guitar, and when he sings you can hear that reggae in there. Reggae music is one if his biggest influences. This dude is special
This is the one I've been waiting for!
If you really wanna be blown away by his rap, go watch The hunger its mindblowing
Greetings from Germany and a very big thanks for your very wholesome words!!!
They mean a lot to me and are like the light at the end of a long and dark tunnel!
Hope and Love are by far the strongest and I would also say most important Feelings in this universe!
Ren.. such a professional artist!
I guess several of his is recorded in 1 clip? Like “Violets tale”..?
Amazing!!
The "feels more upbeat, feels more hopeful" got me. Oh boy. 😅
I want the story of Jenny, Screech, and Violet to be made into a movie. And Ren must be the writer, producer, and the actor performing as Screech. No exceptions.
Hi! Thank you for your great reaction. I discovered Ren few weeks ago and I like so much his music, the text, how he could play to the guitar. Following your reaction I have possibility to understand more deeply the content of lyrics.❤❤❤
I love that I'm not the only one absolutely astounded by his word play. Ren's a lyrical genius. Doesn't hurt that he gives great aural too.
This kind of music deserves a new official genre.
Yeah, it's Bardcore.
Interesting that your channel focuses on music and psychology. Well Ren is the epitome of music and psychology!
About Jenny; she was portraited as 14 years old girl who walks the same streets over and over again in high heels. Then as she gets murdered Ren finishes her story with "I guess she escaped". I personally get the idea of Jenny was kind of forced into a life of a prostitute and been victim of this abusive world and been always quiet about it. Just like her mother Violet. And.. people seem to forget Violet's mother was also quiet to her husband's abuse. Same pattern follows with Screech. Just brilliant details in such simple yet amazing storytelling.
Ren uses the building to reverberate his voice. And when his voice travels up the staircase, there’s no light at the top… a sign of the darkness about to be told.
I LOVE YOUR SENSITIVITY, PERIOD!!! GREETINGS FROM BOLIVIA 🇧🇴 !!!
I listened to all three in a row the first time I heard it too and had the same reaction. Eyes wide open and no words to speak. Masterpiece really.
Please react to Christian Burrows' X-Factor audition. You'll love his lyrics I think, it's a tearjerker
WHAT A REACTION ! Thanks you for those tears of joy ! Thanks to Ren for being so musically impactful on souls
I like the "He's rewinding!" my exact reaction.
Love the openness and genuine emotion in your reactions. Really appreciate the depth you go to analysing Ren’s music and I love how much you “get” it.
Much love from Scotland 🏴
Thank you very much
This saga deserves your detail and thoughtful analysis. So appreciated!
the thing I think most don't talk about is what he doesn't say. the story becomes more personal because we fill in the blanks he leaves so it is a personal story. so many talk about his story telling but we help write it by filling in the blanks. conclusion he brings the story teller out in us
Ren is a minstrel telling a story like Chaucer's Canterbury tales
Please do Ren-The Hunger! Your reality will break again! Promise🙏❤️
As a backdrop to this. The UK is suffering from an almost epidemic of knife crime, and London is particularly bad. There are so many teens out there right now carrying knives. It is a terrible situation.
I have been looking forwards to seeing you react to these tales. Ren's ability to create stories with all the tools available to him is remarkable. This is a modern day Shakesperian tragedy, in a terrifyingly real setting, told by a modern day bard. Jenny, quiet and still like her mother, Screech agressive and short temperd like his father - traits crossing generations but who knew?
Another astonishing fact. All 3 tales were recorded in one take. And live. I have been on this crazy spinning rock for over half a century, but I have never in my life seen a tallent like Ren! Amazing.
Great reaction. You brought some interesting new perspectives which I enjoyed.
You could even take it back one more generation. Violets dad was violent, abusing her and her mom stayed silent, even though she knew what he was doing.
@@marycomerford1456 Gosh indeed yes! I hadn't twigged that but you're spot on. So many layers!
Almost like all those gun control laws and bans didn't do anything to stop violent crime... hmm.
I'll take the hate for saying this, I just wanted to point that out.
@@noodles7157 No hate. You are just wrong. I mean we had 1 mass shooting. We banned guns. We have never had another mass shooting. It is pretty plain to see. And yes there is a knife crime problem, but it is among the youths. Not accross the board like with guns.
2022 saw 11,517 knife crime reports in the UK (Not just deaths, over all crime rate), and 49,000 gun deaths in the US. I just wanted to point that out.
@@MattDavey68 have you taken into account the total population in the UK vs the total population in the US? Bc that matters. The UK pop. In 2022 was 67,500,000 and the USA pop. Was 338,000,000. That is a bit over 5 times the people in the UK. When taken into account that means there was more knife violence per person in the UK than gun violence per person in the US. People will do evil things no matter the tool they use. Gun violence statistics also most of the time include suicides for whatever reason. Suicides by gun account for 54% of gun deaths in 2022. Again, Im not trying to be aggressive.
Hi! I'm from Czech republic.
I watched this video beforehand and after that I was watching some reactions, and when Violet's tale was ending I knew, that you feel it coming.
That crazy ending twist.
And to be honest I was in therapeutic community to cure myself from PC games addiction, and as you said it wasn't easy in any way.
First I was in denial, because I was sent there by my mom, but after some time I've opened my eyes, and saw the problem at hand.
Truth is, that I didn't made it to this day without any problem, but I'm trying, and I know, that it will stay with me for rest of my life.
Thank you for sharing that. Keep fighting. Keep going. You deserve to be free and live life to the fullest.
3:24 - #Bardcore for life! Ren's a master at using old traditional refrains that keep popping up through folk and classical music to the modern day. That's almost something you'd expect to hear at market during the late Renaissance. We need to get Brandon Acker to analyze and place Ren's playing...
"Feels more upbeat, feels more hopeful, now we're in a hospital setting."
Oh, sweet summer child.
Love your Ren reactions ❤ And your lovely warm personality shines through. This trilogy is phenomenal in every way
This is one of the best reactions to this, thank you. As cold as it may sound, I wanted to see someone to react to this and the sudden realisation of the complexity of the story exposed. Thank you. And thanks too to #Ren for his story telling.
Waiting with excited anticipation! 🇬🇧👍
Hallo/ Hola/ Hello Rosalie,
I've been waiting patiently for you to do more ren reactions I had suggested a few (including this) in a past comment and wanted you to do this. I'm writing this midway through your analysis so sorry I paused your beautiful soul hehe. I just wanted to add my two cents (also if you have the same thoughts and I just haven't listed them yet I'm sorry). So here it is:
1. I found it very interesting how jenny inherited her mother's Flight/Flight/Freeze response.
Violet (V) " was a silent girl" Jenny (J) "Jenny freezes, statue-like, a lady-shaped stalactite
Fear like liquid nitrogen in the dark night, She tried to find the strength to move
But stayed as still as a statue in high-heeled shoes"
Where screech (S) seemingly inherited his father's predisposition for violence and anger.
*I tried to convey my meaning here but my dyslexia sometimes makes it hard to get my thoughts down using the proper words. I hope you understand what I am trying to say.
The line about J I just quoted blew me away "Lady-shaped stalactite" I mean WOW!
THE TALES are such a sad reality of a society where children, adults and the elderly abuse (oh and animals) does occur. I used to work work with the elderly up until my botched spinal surgery left me disabled. I'm currently looking into opportunities to volunteer with one or more of these groups but I am not physically well enough, so might be with animals for the time being and maybe try and find a service be it online or by phone where I could maybe do my part to try and combat loneliness whether that be phone calls or online. Being in that field if you know any remorse I could youse I'd appreciate the tip.
I completed a biomedical science degree intending to go on and study Neuropsychopharmacology (as so many people are suffering and it breaks my heart) with an interest in using psyidelc s as medication ie death anxiety and stuff the research I've read fascinates me.
Anyway enough about me. Bla bla bla lol
There's a ren song(s) I think you should react to it's called " Depression ". Its a lyrical video and I believe there's another called "Insomnia "
Oh and there is a song you have to check out ren and chinchilla's "how to be me"
*some background it is filmed on a bridge and is about a friend who took his own life by jumping g off a bridge. And unfortunately, his body was never recovered (Hope that's not a spoiler I just feel the song hits differently when you know ).
I hope you see this if you do could you like it or comment I hate not knowing things and my anxiety will make me feel stupid for writing an essay lol.
Anyway back to your video I love your reactions and can't wait to hear your insights.
Much love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤️.

Ps
Hope I didn't go on too much haha
Tschüss
It's truth 💯
I share my name with my sister who was killed by domestic violence.
