- We've been waiting to get to this one. Worth it. This song is a familiar story teller side of Ren coming out. It took us back to when we first heard Hi Ren. I dont know anyone else who makes music like this. He is a true artist. Everything Ren does is at another level.
Just learning about Ren these past 4 months with all of you has been a great experience for us both. There’s been so much great music and positive conversation. Thank you to everyone who’ve followed us down this rabbit hole. We’re gonna keep it going. Sue and I are looking forward to reacting to Ren’s new music 🌎✌️❤️

If you'd like to support our channel you can buy us a beer! Cheers 🍻

You are the first reactor that has made the Patrick and gf "hanging out" connection
Years of assuming the worst pays off!
Yes and jenny was like her mum and screech was like his father. Ren making people aware of what happens everyday every where
Great point
exactly.
(just a personal nitpick of "his 'LANGUAGE', some of his language is rough"...🙄🙄🙄 .! im just like " ugh, yeah 💁🏻♀️ yeah, the world / life can be and IS a really dark, ugly place. his language is simply painting the uncomfortable, yet accurate picture of reality.
@@deadassdgaf100 no sugar coating of the devil's cycle
Aye generational abuse and trauma tis real :)
@@neighborsue word.
The thing that I find incredible about Ren is the clarity of his words even when doing the most emotional scenes every word is crystal clear and the fact that his music can have us bobbing our heads along to the tune as his vocals explain some pretty upsetting violence he’s a true master of his art. We are lucky we live in a time that enables us to witness this masterpiece
I am so guilty of that, his ability to ignite multi senses all at once is outstanding
Well said 🌎✌️❤️
Well spotted about Patrick being with Screech’s girlfriend. 👏🏻 You’re the first reaction channel I’ve seen get that connection right away like that. Awesome!
Wait, was he though?
@@secondhandreactions yup. There are videos over on his instagram with clues to details in the story. Ren’s music is full of Easter eggs and references to other songs by him. Great reaction by the way. Welcome to the RENaissance. 🐇🕳
@@secondhandreactions you had a hunch!
I’m not sure screech even had a girlfriend, I think the call was to Patrick’s daughter who is probably 17 or 18 and screech just thinks she’s his girlfriend but she just thinks of him as a little kid, which he is. I think Patrick is his boxing coach as in London lots of street kids are encouraged to take up boxing to channel their aggression. I doubt screeches ego would allow him to run to a friends house panicking and almost in tears but Patrick was older and screech respected him because he was his coach. I’m doing a breakdown of all the characters on my YT if you wanna look
I jumped on here to say the same. I can't think of any reactors who got the Patrick and Screech Mrs part. And I've lost count how many I've seen 👏
This is why Ren once called his style Bardcore.... (it's a real thing... who knew). I love how at the end of a 13 minutes song you're like... that's the end???? Although I agree... While most of the time I want to bake him cookies and make sure he has his mittens (Canadian here) sometimes Ren can be a bit scary... he'd make a great evil mastermind.
Agreed! Scary in all the right moments!
8:00 “oh screech is f’ed”
Modern day oracle, you have no idea how bad yet 😬
Ren would tell you that we can't heal what we hide and sadly , ( this goes on all the time) as you can tell by his cadence, he said Violet's part with anger and disgust. London City FAR FROM PRETTY 2005. That's was the way it impacted me. I hope his message brings more awareness to domestic violence.
It’s a hideous cycle
@@secondhandreactions Yes it is and I always enjoy you two. The Investigator had to know. LOL. The story is amazing as the two 14 year old children became street urchins meeting past destinies.
Yes Ren is a musical genius and a lyrical genius and a Shakespearian Bard of our time !!
Amen 🙏
It's the mark of a special artist that can elicit such visceral emotions in his audience through a screen, just him and his guitar. Each one recorded live and one take. The story came about when Ren saw a TV news reporter comment 'It's such a shame' after telling the audience of a teenage boy that had stabbed and killed a young prostitute in London several years ago. He felt that those words couldn't really express the far reaching ramifications of what happened. In this story Ren attempts to tell us how generational violence affects our society and children. Of how that situation is likely to have come to happen in the first place. When you watch this back again and contemplate further on it (which u will, trust me), you'll realise that Jenny was also 14 y/o and what the hell was she doing walking around in high heels with rosy cheeks in the middle of the night? What did she need to escape? It's then u realise that Jenny must've suffered a similar fate to her mother in that she was 'molested' by a guardian which must have led her to prostitution at that young age. She was probably saving up to get away from the whole situation when Screech attacked her. In my mind, neither were adopted despite separation and ended up with different foster families who messed them up (it's less likely adoptive parents would've been that bad as adoption in the UK is a hard, rigorous and lengthy process and not anyone qualifies). Furthermore, Jenny inherits her mother's 'deer in the headlights' reaction to violence whereas Screech seems to have taken on his father's quick to rage temperament. Anyway, sorry I went so long. It was a fantastic reaction (and I've seen many!) where u not only realised the Patrick/girlfriend affair (bc why would she be busy so late at night right?) but also guessed the ending by realising the date. Can u believe hardly anyone paid attention to the date?! 😮
Anyway kudos to you guys! 👏👏👍
It was really a roller coaster. Beautiful song. I like your point about how Jenny froze like her Mother. Abuse is passed on in all sort of different forms. Thanks for watching and taking the time to write this all out. 🙏
nature/nurture: life is hard enough, Jenny and Screech weren't given a chance
It’s like a Shakespearean tragedy, set with a modern world. Tremendous art.
Absolutely tremendous I agree with you wholeheartedly
Man you guys were right to wait on this one. Sue might not have wanted to see more Ren after this trilogy. Women always struggle the most wih this one because Ren is so good at becoming the characters.
Even as the narrator he gives me chills. Nightcrawler vibes, maybe even Mr Glass from Unbreakable vibes
Yo!!! Night crawler vibes for sure. Great call. 🌎✌️❤️
I so felt that! He is creepy at all the right moments!
Ren is the Original "Bardcore Genre Bender" The Master Bard himself ( Shakespeare ) would have understood exactly where Ren was coming from. Ren isn't just a songwriter but rather a Performance Art Master who blends music and character acting from all the styles over the last 500 years and makes it modern and relatable to all generations even if normally you may not be a fan of whatever genre he is currently performing. In recent interviews Res has mentioned he is in Talks with Netflix, Can't wait for that branch of the Ren Rabbit Hole!
I didn’t know about the Netflix show idea until the comments here today. That’s fantastic. I hope it works out.
He thinks Netflix will understand his next idea. I don't think it's happened yet he is still concentrating on his treatment in Canada.
I always say Ren makes music for adults and I think he is so good at it because he's actually served his apprenticeship, not only in music but in life aswel.
He isn't some bubbled kid that thinks they know it all n thinks they have the right to tell "normal" everyday working people people what they should think or believe.
He's playing with the idea of a medieval bard. Hence the overall style of the piece and all those old and medieval licks on the guitar. This particular style of his has been dubbed 'bardcore'. His very own genre! :)
I think he would be successful at anything he up puts his mind and heart to.
He’s a modern day Bard doing Bardcore. Bard as in Shakespeare and the character in The Witcher or The Canterbury Tales and a whole host of medieval stuff.
I’ve seen people write bardcore before but didn’t know what it meant until this video
yes that explains his expressions, voices, and incredible timimg
Here’s the backstory/precursor to the tales in case you’re interested. I read somewhere that Ren almost got kicked off of RUclips while promoting the tales as he was portraying Screech in the promo and people were confused about how he was acting. See here: ruclips.net/video/BICvZAS1FR0/видео.html
OMG!!😮 I had heard of this but never found it! Thank you for sharing ❤ the investment Ren has put into his art and music is ASTOUNDING!❤🎉
Like dakotadog said - this level of commitment is astounding
You did right to wait......."thank you" for your realness and sharing your reaction. Bardcore! A strolling minstrel 🎵
🌎✌️❤️
Yes he is always on the move...keeping it flowing.
I always like how people think things are surely going to get better but they just get worse and worse.
This certainly did get worse and worse
Ren tells the stories and the filming of the stories are all done so well i found myself looking for the bodies laying on the ground. The saddest thing about this is the fact each of these things are happening in every country at this very moment and the cycle continues
Brilliant way to shine a light
A modern troubadour, telling tales to music.
Violets tale was released in 2019... making them 14... like he said!
The fact he did these Sooo Far apart, yet connected them Sooo seamlessly!
Brilliant
The twins were 14. Jenny walked the streets a thousand times and in high heeled shoes. She wanted to escape. She was a sexually exploited child. History repeats itself. It’s a shocking commentary on child protective services. Children are the least funded group when it comes to actual care, with the least rights too.
I think he was commenting on a much wider and deeper topic than that. Child protective services have a tough time. They're attacked if they don't intervene and are attacked if they do intervene. They're always the convenient scapegoat for the press and people love a bandwagon that they can jump on. What the situation was with child protection services, social services, healthcare systems, schools, care services, therapeutic services, fostering agencies and adoption services, we don't know. We can only speculate without conclusion, as they are never mentioned directly in the trilogy...
@@Codex7777 Hi Codex7777. I work within Child Protection Services, though not US. Corporate Parenting isn’t working. Services are starved of resources to adequately support already marginalised children. With service delivery based on the demands of archaic legislation. Jenny, Screech and Violet desperately needed positive intervention. I agree it’s just one facet of this stunning piece of art. The reality of children’s services needs to be addressed. We’re failing these children. The lack of interest to rectify this are very real in their consequences. So I’m not knocking CPS, I’m appealing for reform and modernising service into the 21st Century. Thanks for replying.
It's such a, sha-a-a-ame
That's the publics response to tragedies. Yet, talk about reparations, student loans, sending people to prison whom you don't like, then people become concerned. A Trans-child needs help?!?!? Let me put on my superman suit. Oh abused child, not my problem.
@@jwarrior852 I’m afraid so jwarrior. Children are by definition the most vulnerable in our society, yet they have the least protected rights. It’s scandalous.
6:05 “I gotta put an ad blocker on here. What was that, it was like a message from another universe?” 😂😅 I haven’t belly laughed that hard in a LONG time! And I certainly wasn’t expecting to do it watching a reaction to the tale of Jenny and screech! I have been watching Ren reactions for three months, this is my first time on your channel, and you two are amazing! I am so impressed that you waited to watch this particular video until after going through the whole catalog. I must say, it is a very unique reaction to see two people who know Ren deeply and love him watch this for the first time…❤❤❤I’m now going through your back catalog 🥹
Lol - thanks 🙏 We did Hi Ren four months ago and I realized there was much more to this artist than just that song. His fan base fiercely loves him. I’m so happy we dove in. Ren has brought so much great music into our lives since then. We even expanded and reacted to all his friend’s music too like Sam Tompkins and chinchilla. There’s so much great music coming out of this scene in Brighton it gives me hope for the world. Thanks for watching along with us. 🌎✌️❤️
Such a fan of a good belly laugh!!!!! We are still learning but loving the process, thank you for your support!
love it! dont cry sue! it will just be ok
Catharsis going on here, I managed to keep it down
make sure to look after each other after watching that, it's intense. it brings up a lot of painful feelings in a lot of people
Heavy one for sure. ✌️ We’re good. Thanks for checking in.
Much appreciation
Raw Shakespearean storytelling, loosley based on a newspaper artical and crime statistics.
Ren and his Cameraman Samuel are working on something they hope to pitch to Netflix or the like in the future.
I couldn't cope with the realism in this performance for a while. Have watched so many reactions now I am inoculated somewhat.
Very perceptive and accurate reaction by the way
This was amazing start to finish. We were sucked into the story. That realism is something I don’t know if I’ve seen as part of a song before. On Broadway sure, but from an Indy artist like ren? No.
This was a tough one to swallow and process but so much of reality indeed
2005 was 14 years before the tale of Jenny and James (Screech). Jenny and Screech were 14 when the original tale occurred
The tale of Jenny was prompted from a newspaper article and people saying what a shame.. later came Screeches tale then nearly 2 years later he released Violets tale tying the story together.
I watch a ton of y'alls reactions and I guess I assumed you'd done this one before. Awesome song(s).
We waited to get to know Ren a bit better before we jumped into this reaction. Glad we did. This was great. Thanks for watching
Thanks for joining us along this crazy adventure!
I've never seen anyone like him in my 55 years... No One Compares to him! He is Litterally on his Own Level... all by himself!!! Brilliant!!!
Yes!!!
This is my feeling too, and why I’m so excited by his music. It’s rare to be alive as long as us and hear something completely unique. Especially with just an acoustic guitar. Ren is refreshing to witness if that makes sense.
at the start of Jenny tale Ren was beatboxing doing trumpet
🎺
Based on a true story he read in the news
11:06 fun fact: he ends the tale of Jenny and Screech with “it’s such a shame” to highlight peoples typical response to hearing tragedies (especially authority figures when they’re making statements)
Ack. He’s right
That's what I was feeling, we are so programmed as a society, double Ack!
Grandma would always reply to grandpa "But what Ach papa?"
BARDCORE! This was when many of us saw Ren as Shakespeare's equal.
Ohhhhhh I didn’t know what hardcore meant. It all makes sense now lol
SO much to take in with this brilliant Shakespearean tragedy. I get frustrated with some reactions when it's missed how he describes Jenny....why would a 14 year old be walking the same street a 1000 times, in high heel shoes? Almost no one seems to catch that. Also, for "Screech's Tale", it seems that almost no one catches that Screech's girlfriend and his friend Patrick, happen to be "busy", or not available, at the same time. Maybe they were together? This is literally the first reaction I've seen (and I've watched dozens) that caught that. It adds a whole other layer to the story. Also consider that Jenny and Screech were born side by side, and essentially died side by side, one street apart. Born on the same day (2005), died on the same day (2019). An entire family, mother and twins that never knew each other, wiped out by a cycle of violence. An abused mother, a 14 year old prostitute, and a 14 year old thug/murderer. Powerful stuff. In "Violet's Tale", the way he uses the acoustics of his environment to accentuate the song is absolute brilliance....and btw, not sure if you know this or not, but Ren is self taught on the guitar. Just one of many instruments he plays including drums, bass, & piano.The man is truly special. A prodigy.
From what I understand, he wrote the first 2 songs after reading an article about a very young man murdering a young woman in London, he didn't write "Violet's Tale" until a few years later and that one was of his own making. He said that there are 2 songs so far that he wrote, that he knew in his gut were special. "Hi Ren" (of course) and "Violet's Tale". (He was right on both counts imo.) He also said he feels like he has a 3rd one ("Money Game" 3) that fits that same feeling coming out with his new album. He has yet to release it or shoot the video. It's coming soon.
I definitely missed the true meaning behind ‘walked these streets 1000 times’ on this first listen. I thought he just meant like ‘she was normally safe going about a routine, but tonight something was different’. On the next couple listens I got it and a couple of people pointed it out now in these comments. I love how the song evolved the more times I’ve heard it.
We’re so excited for money game 3! The first two were brilliant and if he’s doing the 3rd in this same feel it’s gonna be amazing. ✌️🌎❤️
Born and died on the same day. This is a masterpiece like Hi Ren. Ren loves music period why do people want to stick him in a box? I love the variation so wonderful he is independent!
Awesome reaction thank you, I’ve watched this 100’s of times and it still gets to me, thank you 🙏👍🐊❤️🦉
Thank🙏you for watching!
Such a hard pill to swallow
He is like a medieval minstrel brought up to date. Masterpiece.
Agreed
Ren is just amazing! When i was at school in the 70s/80s there was a small traveling drama group called The Kneehigh Theatre company. There were 3 or 4 people that put on shows at all the schools in the area. They would perform real life situation stories in the middle of the school hall and the kids would sit all around them to watch the show. One of them played a guitar and narrated and sang while the other's acted out the story. The stories were not as dark as this, but this reminds me of school drama shows. Great video thanks.
I bet they were great!
You guys hit it out of the park, much Ren always does.😊❤️😊
Thanks for watching with us! So this is a hard one for me to go back and watch. Right before we recorded this I had found out a close work friend passed away. I was overly emotional and reactionary. lol. I can see it leaking out of me. Watching it now brings it all back. In retrospect, I wish I had waited to do this reaction. I felt ok at the time, but it hadn’t hit me when we started to record. It is a powerful song and performance though, so maybe all these things somehow work together. ✌️
@@secondhandreactionsI think it was perfect Clay, no apology necessary.
"I'm choking on a pretzel". Best initial reaction ever. 🤣
Haha!!! I never know what is going to come out of my mouth!!! But ya know how pretzel salt can attack haha
Thanks for watching 🙏
Your the first person to mention Patrick hanging out with screech's girl that pretty damn good. Well done good sir
🙏
Its like a Shakespearen tragedy
Wow super cool of you to wait this long. Sue, you have such a good heart ❤.
🙏
Thank you for noticing, i am afraid it is mostly in charge 💛
I watch SOOOOO many reactions to this and yours is the MOST spot on and attentive I’ve seen! BRAVO!!!👏🏼 👏🏼
Thank🙏you
Hey thank you for the positive words!!!
Not since dance with the devil had a song hit me that hard.
It definitely hits
Thank you very much for an amazing reaction
Thank🙏you
Jenny... walking the street... 1000 times before... roses cheeks... yep... She Was!
Like you said... Patrick was Busy alright... with his girl who wouldn't answer!
Generational trauma, the care system, the media as in the newspaper” it’s such a shame” not pointing why this happens over and over again! I’m sure this has reached so many who could tell similar stories and felt forgotten by the system! Well done getting through it but it’s worth it. It makes you think we must do better in society and never say it’s such a shame but not what needs fixing!
Valid perspective!
It's the cycle of abuse the abuse become abusers themselves without intervention. By being an abuser or by being abused these are cycles that repeat themselves.
I know I'm late to this video, but you never need to apologize for getting emotional. Ren is a master of tugging at heartstrings.
Thank🙏you
yes, his word choice is powerful and the delivery backs that up with intensity
As a survivor of 17 yrs of DV,Rens portrayal is so accurate. It's like he was a fly on the wall of so many years of my life.....
This must be a rough one for you to watch. I’m sorry you went through that. I wish I could snap my fingers and stop it from ever happening again. It’s terrifying and suffocating. ❤️
@secondhandreactions It's super hard to watch,,but I can't stop. Idk,it's weird. Thank you for your compassion........
@@vivienneclarke2421 I’m sure there’s some sort of psychology behind that that I’m too uneducated to comment on, but if it’s somehow comforting you, then it’s a good thing, right? I feel like Ren’s music puts voice to a lot of difficult topics. People are deeply touched by his songs and in some cases relate to his medical experiences. He’s really touched on some things that are important to people or needs illumination. I think he’s an important force for good in our time. His popularity is gonna keep growing. I think the world needs his positivity and message right now. ✌️
Apprecite your comment DV just isn’t fair
😢❤🔥
🤯
Seriously
Ren=👽
Out of this world!!!!
when Ren starts tapping the gutar and vocalising at the beginning of Violet's Tale... it totally reminds me of Ennio Morricone's theme music for Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns, particulary the Clint Eastwood trilogy 😎🤘
Respect & Peace ☘
Interesting. I don’t know this - I’m gonna go investigate.
This was awesome. Both your personalities just match each-other, genuine reactions from both. Thank you my heart was broken too lol x
Aw thank🙏you. Appreciate you watching along with us
Love your response, and the feedback, means a lot. Thank you❤
Musics ultimate mic drop
Respect from UK, ren is the goat
🙏 - Agreed man. We’re enjoying everything he’s done
Jenny and Screech were 14 years old. They were released in 2019. That the 2005 reference
I've only recently found REN and REN reactors,subscribed n working my way through yours,like them. I don't know if you're aware but on the REN makes music channel there's a vid of him performing this trilogy outside to a crowd in Brighton plus an extra pzrt. Well worth reacting to,a great performance. Guys a genius im 66 and an instant fan
Hey Ant- Thanks for the heads up! Appreciate it. I'm 52. Any time one of my friends say 'There's no good music anymore' I point them to Ren. If you haven't already, Check out Ren's band 'The Big Push'!!!
Instant love for Ren, his style is incredibly surprising and always outstanding! Cheers!
Ren❤❤❤❤
🎵🎶🎵
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤renegade!! Uk
Ren is a modern day bard
Apparently He got the concept for the song from a true story in the news and the closest type of thing you could say for some of Ren's stuff is Jeff Wayne's war of the world the way he tells a story that leads you into a visual image of following the song and narration
We were so sucked into this one
swirls inside a snail shell
I’d love to see Ren do something from sublime like “Wrong Way” Jenny’s story made me think of a sublime vibe. Great reaction guys can’t wait to see more 👍
Oh I like this idea. Wrong Way would be a great sublime cover for Ren too. Thanks for watching! 🙏
Best freaking reaction. This one hit you all hard.
Oh yes, catharsis in the best way
🙏We got sucked in
Ren is helping, through sites such as this one, to provide safe spaces in which people can talk about these issues, sadly, in todays world. incidents such as these are rising and places to discuss them are getting less and less. due in part to hyper polarisation. no one takes any notice of anyone else if they're not in their camp. it just degrades into an insult fest. These spaces are very important now.
This is a great point. We gotta all figure out how to drop the divide and come back together. 🌎✌️❤️
Safe spaces are crucial
Bard core!
Jenny and Screech was released in 2018, they were 14. Violet's tale was set in 2005 exactly 14 years earlier
no offence, but i pity your math teacher
@DavidDArcy1975 Considering that the 8 is just to the left of 9 on both phone and computer keyboards, it is very probable that the person above made a typo and wrote '2018' when what they really wanted to write was '2019'.... Which is something you seemed to do a lot on your comment too. Why couldn't you just kindly ask the person to change it from 2018 to 2019 instead of insinuating that the other person is bad at math and a stain on their supposed math teacher's reputation without knowing anything about them? Or perhaps you just wanted attention?? I happened to have some freetime right now so I gave you some, but please be more considerate with what you say to other people in the future... I would understand if it were on a toxic fandom comment section. But the ones in this one are mostly, if not entirely, respectful. And your comment feels a bit out of place.
Not many people pick up the 2005 line first time… sharp work young man!
He accented it so hard: 2 - 0 - 0 - 5 It just stood out to me. Felt like it was an important piece of the story.
Yes, screech's girl and patrick were together
❤❤❤
🌎✌️❤️
Chills
I'll say it again... No One Compares to Ren! No One!!!!
One of a kind for sure!!!
Completely unique artist
that why she was busy she was with Patrick that why he never answer the door
❤❤
🌎✌️❤️
It’s performance art.
Incredible!
Loved your reaction folks!!
Thanks again Pete!
Love your company!!!
lol "WTF!!" seems to be the go-to reaction for this one.
lol I was shocked!
❤🔥
🌎✌️
8:59 “maybe she’s hanging out with Patrick?”
Omg, only reaction I’ve seen that caught it
I only caught on after watching Rens “publicity stunt” leading up to its release
There’s a compilation video on RUclips of all Rens insta stories…he essentially filmed it to look like his phone had been stolen (by Screech) and Screech was just going around posting stories of his shenanigan’s, it’s a really cool concept and he almost lost his account because people really believed/kept reporting Screech
Very interesting addition to Rens catalogue if you haven’t watched it yet 😁
I said that as such a throwaway comment too. Haha I just assumed the worst situation. That’s really cool what ren did with his phone. I wanna see that video. We’ll find it and react to it
@@secondhandreactions not to be an over achiever, but here’s the link, it’s on Ren’s channel as well if that’s easier to find later
He gives an explanation in the description box of the video

@@chalsey224 🙏🙏🙏
Bardcore!! ❤
Very good job love listening so far
Wow! Thank🙏you. We appreciate the support. Glad you like the reaction. Great song. Ren is on another level.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback, this set of character stories was a lot to digest.
Hardcore Bardcore
A little disappointed that, with all those guitars on the wall, no mention of his playing in this. The beginning of Jenny's tale transported me to France, circa 1940's, etc.. Otherwise a great, and genuine, reaction. And I too would love to see Ren on Broadway in a one-act show, with a musical narrative through-line.
Yea good point. I should’ve said something. I e talked about his guitar playing in a lot of other reactions. I should’ve mentioned here too. Absolutely amazing. To do all this in 1 take is pretty freaking incredible.
from what i understand this story is real
We did some digging after this reaction. The story seems to be inspired by something Ren read in the news, but not based on actual events. ✌️
FYI... he has some short clips of him just playing around on Twitch... he does some either Frank Sinatra or Bing Crosby that Blew my Mind!!!!
He asked before the release of For Joe what kinda music should he sing... I gave a $20 super chat Begging for a Frank or Bing track! He NAILS IT!!!!
Nails everything!!! Gonna look for that!
That’s awesome. Looks like Sue’s on it and we’ll be reacting to them ✌️
Shakespearean Theatre..
That ad was fucking hilarious
Fucking hate ads. Lol
Haha Clay handled the out of this world communication!!!
Violet died thinking she was pregnant with one child (Ren's lyrics read "please let my baby stay alive"). She had had very little to no pre-maternal care - certainly not an ultrasound (which would have immediately shown the two fetuses) and maybe not even a fetal heartbeat check (although the second heartbeat can be missed in that early early exam).
Victims of domestic abuse often avoid interacting with any kind of health care that might expose the fact that they're being abused, if they're not ready/are too scared to leave the abuser... and of course abusers can intimidate their victims/refuse to let them seek health care services, to try to prevent them from being convinced to leave (or have law enforcement end up involved).
It never fails to astound me that Ren wrote that detail into the story.
Holy crap! What a catch!!! That’s an amazing tiny detail. Ren is thinking it all through
@@secondhandreactions yeah - "please let my baby stay alive" sounds EXACTLY like "please let my babies stay alive" so he could EASILY have just written "babies" - almost every listener's ear would have assumed single baby, so the twist would still have hit on all the same levels. But he chose to have the only words Violet speaks in the whole song, be said around the word "baby," singular.
Ren sometimes has typos/misspellings/etc in his lyrics, but this one doesn't feel like a slip-up/typo.
@@rebeccaburnell9319 I agree with you. It was written this way for a reason. Thanks for sharing
ren did an interview with black pegasus the other week and he said hes pitching a concept to netflix what sounds exactly like what the lady said she'd like to see him do, he was saying all the youtube views has given him proof of concept to present to them, so it might get a green light
I bet they give it a shot. Netflix needs the content
I heard Ren is trying to work something out with Netflix. I hope he can do something with this.
I would like to see him get something on Netflix but the more I think about it the more I think I would love to see him just release it on RUclips. Netflix would potentially give him a wider audience at first, but they’ll own the content. If he releases it independently, he’ll keep control over it. We’ll see what happens. Either way I’m excited by this and rooting for Ren.
The cycle of violence
"Remember in 2023 when this dude named Ren got the entire internet talking about domestic violence?"
Thanks for a great reaction.
🌎✌️❤️
A strong and sincere voice, Ren is inspirational!
Hey guys, been enjoying your reactions, especially the Ren ones. Anyway, while you have reacted to so many songs featuring Ren, his band and collaborations, there are still so many to go. So here’s a list of songs featuring Ren that I think you should put into your reaction queue: “Life is Funny”, “Humble”(with Eden Nash), “Power”, “What You Want”, “1990s”, “Genesis”, “Earned It / Man’s World / Falling”(with Sam Tompkins), “Bittersweet Symphony”(The Verve Retake) and The Big Push mashup in a laundromat “These Boots are Made for Walking / Satisfaction / Everybody”. Trust me, there’s still so much more. I’m 65 years old and I just cannot believe how many high quality (yet relatively unknown) songs Ren has been involved with by his current age of 33 @renmakesmusic #ren #bigpush
Hey Proud! Thanks for watching along with us. We really appreciate it. 🙏 We’re absolutely blown away by Ren’s talent and diversity. He’s like a modern day Prince because he does it all so well. I even get a little John and Paul vibe happening with him and Romain too. We have no plans on stopping. I just felt like I needed to know him better before we got to this one. Thank🙏you for these suggestions. We’ll get to them as we continue to dive in. I’m looking forward to it! ✌️
@@secondhandreactions thanks for the very prompt reply. He also reminds me of Ed Sheeran, who may be the most famous street busker. I forgot to list his song “Fire”, which if you’re a fan of MJ’s (and Alien Ant Farm’s cover) “Smooth Criminal”. I’m also still trying to get a reactor to introduce the Milennials and Gen Z’ers to Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes (they have over 20 great songs). But I’m guessing you know them.
@@Proud.American58 Oh yea... I was born in New Jersey. They steep you in Springsteen and Southside Johnny before you can walk. lol
@@secondhandreactions 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you enjoying ren along with us! Just added to the list thanks to you!
Ren is British, like myself, and our addresses don't go to the same kind of numbers that American addresses do. We don't have blocks that go on for miles and miles. Every street- or American block- is separate with a different name, and on big roads- such as an A road that is a major road through a city- you can even have a street on a street. For instance: Evergreen Terrace on London Street, so most house numbers never go above 100 unless it's a really long street. So any number in the thousands is almost always going to be a year.
I'm only pointing this out as I have seen a few North Americans assume/speculate that it's an address, whereas a house with the street number 2005 is a completely alien concept to a Brit.
Great information to know. Thank you! Btw - one of my favorite RUclips channels is Lost in the Pond. I love finding out all the little differences between our cultures
ohhh okay, I'm learning 🙂
tradedy like homer.
Hope Sue has recovered from that. It's a tough one I know.
Such a really heavy subject but ridiculously beautifully told. Ren draws people in so expertly to all of his songs but when the subject matter is heavy and possibly triggering to some, it really hits harder. Ren is the modern day Bard (hence Bardcore) and I have never seen anyone do this.
Well done Clay on catching a lot of the story - the more you think and reflect on it. the more strands to this story there are. It is intimated that Patrick was indeed "busy" with Screech's girlfriend. We are also left with the question of who exactly was the father of Jenny and Screech (Stevie or Violet's dad ?).
Bit of context - Ren saw a newspaper article which the first two tales are largely based on. Violet's tale came directly from his own imagination to tie up the loose ends and put a bow on the story.
Ren is hoping to use these tales and other bodies of work to pursue his dream of getting a Netflix series along similar musical storytelling lines.
Ren has written two more completely unrelated "tales" which we can look forward to at some stage.
Thanks Chris - that was a roller coaster ride. I learned what bardcore is because of this video - and also that Ren pitched a Netflix series. That’s cool as hell. I bet he gets it. Netflix needs all the content it can get. Thanks for watching and I can pass along (although she’ll probably comment herself when she finds this) Sue is just fine. Definitely brought up some emotions for her, but she’s a tough one. ✌️Thanks for watching and all the info you passed along 🙏
Thanks for looking out, I was having more of an emotional response than a cognitive one, so I was missing all the facts, instead feeling more than thinking
Yo man. My first time listening to you. I’m not trying to be a dick, but I am going to be. If you don’t want ads, pay for RUclips. If you’re a reaction channel pay the measly monthly RUclips fee so you don’t get commercials. Stop bitching about it. Do something about it. It’s easy.
Now back to my regularly scheduled normal self: loving your reaction so far. Subscribed. Edit: this is one of the best reactions I’ve ever seen to this ever. And I watched 1 million of them. You guys are fucking dope.
You’re not being a dick. It’s an obvious solution. I had a bit of a of line in the sand about it. I’ve been paying for RUclipsTV since it launched. It’s more than doubled in price since then and now they’re running non-skippable ads on shows you’ve recorded. (Used to be able to fast forward everything) I get it. They gotta make money, but at least throw us a bone. They could’ve thrown in YT premium with all the money we’re paying and ads we now have to watch. So yea - at this point YT videos without ads is more important to me than my line in the sand. I’m gonna drop YTTV and just pay for premium. We’ve only been doing this channel 4 months. We’re still figuring it out. Over the next coming weeks, I’m changing rooms where we record, and getting a new computer system for better quality and smoother videos. I’ll add premium at that point. Thanks for watching and for the sub. We really appreciate it 🙏
Bardcore!
