Great reaction. Wonderful observations. I love when people realize how great the "loosen the noose on the rope" bar is. You wouldn't believe how many reactors just let that one float right by! Thank you! Keep going with Ren. He is an AMAZING storyteller. You should definitely check out The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full version... it's a trilogy but need to be done in order). Also, he can RAP RAP... you'll find a ton of great examples (Illest of our Time, The Hunger, Power, etc...) His band The Big Push is really great too... Have fun!
I also felt "loosen the noose on the rope" was completely overlooked by most reactors. And, if you ever ate Long John Silver's or Red Lobster, the "seafood pretender" is also a very real thing.
I think the line is 'deceitful pretender'.😊
Tbats what i was gonna say lol!
Lol! I meant to say deeper meanings not distant meaning.
Totally agree! That line really resonates with me!
So many of Ren’s lines are so perfect.
You did not miss much; you got so much more than hundreds of other reactors. Thank you.
100% ! Noticed the tiniest of details!
It's almost like he watched those 🧐
@@AM-oq5ik Nah he's picked up more than any other reactor I've seen. Like he just genuinely understood it
Well done bruh !!
Like the lights..the size of them and the "good" one being set back.. 😢
I'm so happy you caught the "losen the noose on the rope" line. That's tha one that gets me every time. I watched countless reaction videos and for some reason most reactors just let that one pass by. To me that is one of the strongest lines in this amazing song
Powerful!
They always have a physical reaction to it (like the gotta kill you line). they just appear too scared to address it.
I can understand. It IS very confronting for most - something most would rather not contemplate.
It's easily the most uncomfortable yet powerful phrase in the whole song.
I'm so disappointed when other reactions gloss over that line, but I think I understand why they don't dwell on it.
Yup, I've watched at least 5 reactions on that song and no one commented on that line. It's the one that hit me hardes too!!
I don't think it's just that many people are scared to address it, more that he's describing a very specific feeling that only people who have stood on that precipice and chosen to step back again can truly understand. It's something that is very difficult to put into words and though Ren did so perfectly, he still only managed to describe it to those who already know.
Welcome to the REN Rabbit Hole. This is the artist that keeps on giving. Every tune is a Banger. This one and 'Chalk Outlines' broke me. 'How To Be Me' was emotionally draining. And his Fun and Cheeky Side is done with a fantastic sense of humor and skill ... "LOSING IT" is some of the best RAP on the scene. This guy can spit it with the icons. The wordsmithing is at NEXT LEVEL with every song. And every song is so different.
I drop the 'rabbit' word at this point. It's just "the Ren hole" :) ...as I've never seen anything like it.
@@petebrown6356 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
funny you say every tune is a banger… he was born in bangor 😂
You weren't far off when you asked if this was a song about torture. It's about the mental anguish Ren has been dealing with for years. He has Lyme disease, but was misdiagnosed for nearly a decade and just fed a bunch of drugs for mental illness. The man is a true artist, very talented, and extremely brave.
Also, aside from the camera work, he's pretty much a one man band. Thanks for the reaction!
The pig butcher at the beginning…..I think it represents the medical professionals getting his diagnosis so wrong and feeling of being butchered by them
It’s amazing how you manage to notice so many of the details, so quickly and with a first viewing too. I’ve probably watched more than 100 reactions and no one has achieved what you have.
Most reactors notice the small details according to their own life experience.
Psychologists analyse to mental health issues, rappers and musicians connect with his musicality, filmmakers talk about cameras and lighting. All of them struggle to focus on details beyond the words and their special interest.
Some get so caught up on the words and feelings that they don’t hear and see anything else; they often even forget to talk.😅
You have done it all. You have an interesting mind.
I think it’s “ YOU “ who is interesting Fibi.( including your cool name)
I was turned on to REN’S work yesterday……. Have watched at least 8 reactions so far ……….
fascinating to see people’s focus on “aesthetics”( appreciation of beauty )
and you’re 100% right; Snake V was looking at every nook and cranny!!!
I was so happy to see him leaving no stone unturned!!!
As a jazz composer I too revel in REN’S musical virtuosity!
However, as a writer dabbling with short filmmaking, I certainly have to bow ty REN’S on point acting,
and to Samuel Perry Falvey’s cinematography input …… just phenomenal.
It’s because of interesting, big hearted people like you that’s cause “ Snakes “ subscribers to rise from100 yesterday…… to 662 today
5/1/23
Lastly…… I never thought I would be anxious to see someone else watch a video?……… that’s still a mystery to me………
but, it’s sooooo satisfying to see someone “ rise
in consciousness “ before my eyes!!
Idk.
Anyway, I’ve only seen 2 videos so far…… and I think, at the end of the day………… I’m impressed the most with REN’S bravery and selflessness!
If it was up to me……… I’d give him the Nobel Peace Prize!!!
His humanitarianism is a rare gift to the world.
Ok,
Stay sweet,stay safe, and stay interesting Ms. Enn
Many blessings!🕯
@@RAIN-AGAIN Yes, Ren is aesthetically pleasing to look at in all forms.
@@kellyt5341
💯%
I’m praying for his
recovery in Canada 🕯
agreed
The vocalizations at the end, before the monologue, when all the lights were blinking, is a representation of the dance between all the forces fighting within and over the psyche
nice!
I saw it as he now controls his mind and therefore the lights.
We all see differences. Have a great day from the UK. 🙂
yea the dance never ends, but i also hear his triumph over evil in that last part by accepting it as a part of himself, so in a way he won because he gave in if that makes sense...
The "WooHoo" bit at the beginning is clean and cute.
At the end it is darker, dirtier, more confident, more mature and arguably a lot better. As if an older more mature musician is performing it.
Amazing skill to pull that difference off.
Pretty much at the end its him just saying fuck it, and accepting both sides of himself. You'll notice when he gets to the end his voice is a combination of both ren's intonation.
One of the best reactions to "Hi Ren" on the internet. Just Subscribed.
I thank you for the kind words and support!
Couldn't agree more! Best reaction I've seen out of probably 50. I just subribed as a well. Great Job!
I've seen well over 20 reaction videos to HI REN and I find myself crying happy tears every time... laughing and crying at the same time.. words alone cannot express just how monumentally brilliant Ren is... I laugh and cry cause I've been in his shoes before...just without Lymes disease.. he's a hero to our generation... to our whole world!..
You can add me to the list. Great review and perfect comment. Consider me Subscribed.
You like when someone pauses every line and tells you what you just heard it ? Music is the most effective modes of communication. If a song is trending this is a especially good story teller .
Hope you get a 10 fold increase on subscribers after this reaction, I have watched over 100 reactions to Hi Ren and now just click on Hi Ren reactions just to give a thumbs up for reactors for covering it as I dont expect to hear anything fresh on this masterpiece, but you certainly have done it justice.
Thank you for that, genuinely appreciated 🤟
He went from 100 subs to 3300!!!
Also I might need to find a 12 step program, I think I'm addicted to Ren and Ren reaction videos, I cannot stop watching 😅
Wow great analysis. I watched a lot of reactions on this. Yours was ththe most insightful.
Well said man.
Thank you all! Ren proves there is strength in numbers, and it shows with you RENegades! ❤❤
That was a fantastic reaction mate. I've seen over 500, and you are the only one who has picked up on many hidden meanings in the video itself, large and smaller lights, lighter and darker shadows etc. Excellent review 👌
Knox hill has the best you can take the word from the artist
I had the same thoughts...
I've watched many too, maybe not 500, finally realized tonight that the dance at the end, is THE dance he mentions in his ending monologue. He is for the first time in the video projecting his whole self, the light and the shadow. Not sure why it took so many views for me to finally see it. I haven't got to that part of this reaction video, I'll be curious what he sees.
I think I've watched almost every reaction to Hi Ren since they all found him, and yours is one of the best. Thank you for such a thoughtful reaction. So many of us are so invested in this wonderful human being. He is loved! Hope to see you react to much more of Ren's music. Subscribed!
Same here - agreed. Just subscribed now.
Yes, I almost avoided because of the length that I saw despite RUclips recommended it today. I've seen maybe 150 by now. He went to the top 10 of my list. Really glad I watched cause I teared😢 again... cause of this newly subscribed dude. 😅🎉
I agree too, I just didnt say it as well as you did lol!
Definitely, one of the best reactions I’ve watched, and I’ve watched a lot
Similar here...I've never seen anything like this. So many reactions, so many watching them.
Great reaction…. I too was blown away by the “loosen the noose” line, and then when he started to sing I literally burst in to tears, rejoicing 🫶
Excellent reaction, matching the artist. Ren is something else. Since the release of this song he talked me off the ledge, made me realise that i do find hope daily in small things. I learnt to be less cynical, more accepting and kind to all, including myself. His art is making us better. Someone commented that he will save us all, and he certainly makes this a better place one person at a time.
Very thoughtful reaction, thank you!
You got this video in exactly the same way I did, as a retired psych nurse of 31 years. Especially the "voice that loosens the noose on the rope". SO powerful. I think this video deserves some sort of award for its brilliance. I tried to articulate what my clients were going through for years and could never make others relate. Ren does it so artistically and movingly. Whoa. Just whoa. I'm deeply moved. He's a genius. ❤❤❤❤
By the way, I subscribed.
It’s nominated for 4 awards in Prague. I hope it wins & gets nominated for more
@Danielle Graychik I completely agree. It's not just music, it's a brilliant piece of performance art.
DITTO. New sub here
First direct eye contact at the word dawn always gets me. This is the most profound work of art I have ever experienced.
That’s usually where the crying begins for me.
You went deep. That was excellent. I know Ren appreciates that. There are live streams from him where he mentions how much he loves reactors and how artists and reactors can help each other. He talks a lot about lifting each other up. But he was super excited watching Knox Hill dissect Illest of Our Time. Anyway, based on how you felt about this and how you responded to it, there's an amazing rabbit hole to go down. Ren really is a once in a generation, maybe even a lifetime talent. Here's a breakdown of the rabbit hole to get you started:
Chalk Outlines- look for the live one he did with Chinchilla (sidebar- she is incredible and has 2 joints worth checking out: Little Girl Gone and Fingers (live version of fingers will blow your mind)).
Tale of Jenny/Screech/Violet- each came out singly, but he has a video where all 3 are in order. It's the gold standard for story telling and artistry. I don't believe I'm overselling it at all if I say he has Shakespearean level of skill with his tragic story telling.
I think you'll especially appreciate how he uses ambient reverb and room sizes. These are also 1 take performances. To get an idea of the scope of what he can do, I'd break it down like this- watch those 3 together. Next I'd watch some live performances. A tremendous one is one he did with his band The Big Push. Check out "I shot the sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop." Prepare to be blown away. Next, grab "The Hunger."
Think you've got a handle on how many genres he can do masterfully? Check out Money Game Part 2, Humble (feat Eden Nash), and I forgot how to be me. (Live version with Chinchilla)
Real talk: these are all some of the most incredible, lyrically packed, musically brilliant, and masterfully performed songs ever, and I'm also a musician and super difficult to impress with new music. This guy broke my mind.
Well said Saint, I would add the MC session of "blind eyed" ..... Slava Ukraini
Great reaction .One of the best Ive seenLook forward to you doing more Ren.The tales of Jenney and Screech (full).Sic Boi ,Chalk outlines live version,For rap The hunger,Genesis,Losing it and Illest of our time.Check him out with his band The Big Push I shot the sheriff,zion,hip hop version.Everything he does is awesome you won't be disappointed
I also thought this deserved an award and I was trying to think what category you would put it in for a Grammy. It finally dawned on me the best category is actually an Academy Award for Best Short Film - this isn't a song. Aside from the cinematography, his acting is spot on - his body language changing in an instant - his voice - his facial expressions. This was a live recording (you can see the wires on his back at the end), so he didn't shoot one "character", reposition, then shoot the other "character". I think they edited in some of the closeups (especially the monologue at the end), but it's essentially live.
Ren was the Director, but cinematography was handled by Samuel Perry-Falvey. He helps put this over the top and seems to handle most of Ren's solo videos. Ren masters several genres, but with your eye for cinematography, I strongly suggest "The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)". It's comprised of three videos that are also available individually, but the full version is essentially in the tradition of a Shakespearian tragedy. Since these are also live recordings, they really use the acoustic properties of the environment (Especially in the 3rd part, "Violet's Tale").
It was actually nominated for the recent Prague music video awards and although it didn't win any of the 4 categories it was selected for it got an honourable mention in the Best European Music Video section.
Nice!
Thank you for those relevant details. I love the way Ren clearly sings upwards into the staircase and uses the long echo decay to enhance that moment and the camera follows that moment. It really does place the viewer in the setting.
I was thinking "Breakthrough Artist"
I feel like most of us with mental health issues get it right away, being that it’s his own inner voice telling him he’s not good enough no matter how many pills he takes, the darkness will always be there. Even the setting with the room and the lights. I’m not sure why more reactors don’t see all that but you did! I was so impressed! Thanks for the great reaction!
Enjoyed your in depth analysis of “Hi Ren”. You captured what many others that reacted to this masterpiece missed. A like and a sub have been earned.
Thoughtful inciteful reaction, thank you.
The wheelchair has L.D. on the back, Lyme Disease. He is confined to this and the mis diagnosis, then stands on his own two feet.
As you said, a masterpiece.
Every single song in Ren's line up is a freaking masterpiece! I look forward to watching your journey down the Ren Rabbithole
I love how you noticed the lamps and their locations, also the shadows of the "two of them" although it's just one body. The flickering lamps at the end is the two of them struggling for domination, but they are actually equal. Equal in all of us.
Another Ren rabbit hole traveller here. Your reaction picked up on the things I've been quietly screaming at my phone, watching most of the other reactions. Great reaction, +1 on your subscription button.
I enjoyed every second of your reaction to Hi Ren.
Thank you for taking the time to watch!
I don't normally watch reaction videos but have watched many for Hi Ren. Yours is by far the most illuminating and tied up so many of the loose ends in understanding the song and video and for that I thank you. The observation I made is, at the beginning of the video the lights are not flashing when Ren contentedly performed the wordless vocal before his 'demon' appears. then at the end he is content to perform the same piece with his 'demon' present (i.e. the lights flashing) signifying that he has come to terms with his 'demons'. Great reaction video 🙂
Like most responding to this excellent reaction, I have likely watched 100s of other reactions. I appreciate your observation of the flashing lights in the final vocal section that Ren has confidently come to terms with his inner demons and is thriving through this acceptance
Absolutely spot on!
Solid reaction fella- good stuff. :)
*Nobody* expects the D5 staccati at the beginning of this!
That "loosen the noose on the rope" line really rammed it home for me on first listen too. For any of us who have lost family or friends, that line demands tears.
Possibly the most profound live capture of a performance I've ever seen. And I'm oldAF, so I've seen many! LOL
Thank you for this reactions. You caught more than most others. Especially the part about the rope. I am 74 years old. My first time of hearing Ren was this one. By the end I crying like a baby. My family, myself, my children have been through hell, each with their own demons. Struggles in life with our own doubts, dreams and disappointments, and then the b.s. from others interjecting their ideas about this and that. My son is bi-polar, my daughter suffers from agoraphobia and anxiety attacks. My issue is talking to myself and hating myself, fighting my demons and at the same time trying to save everyone else. Life is sometimes a real bitch. I will sometimes shed a tear when hearing this, but I've stopped the sobbing. Ren is amazing at having us see ourselves and recognizing the trials we go through. Whether we are physically ill or just an ordinary human that is in some emotional pain. I am tired of telling my subconscious to shut the hell up! Yet the battle continues and I see it for what it is, actually helping me with decisions and life directions. Where do we go from here? Where ever it leads us, don't force it, accepting whatever or fighting it if you can.
Sometimes, you get to lead, and sometimes you don't. Just be in the moment. Come up for air even if it's for a short time.
There are two types of reactors: the ones who don't comprehend how unbelievably incredible and important the "loosen the noose on the rope" line is, and the ones who do. Thank you. That line punched me in the gut.
Wow, I watch all the "Hi Ren' reactions as they come up, and yours is one of the best. I hope you'll react to more of Ren's music; I'll gladly watch. I'm sure you'll get many suggestions and they will all be great. My favs atm are Genesis, Losing it, and Humble ft. Eden Nash.
Thank you for the support and suggestions! ❤
Wow, i really enjoyed your reaction and break down of this video. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for being here!
Great reaction! I've watched every Ren, Hi Ren reaction and, by far, I like this one the most! I say that because you brought so many unique points of observation, that in my opinion, must be spot on. Look forward to watching you do other Ren reactions.
I agree with you when you say, Ren is super intelligent. I don't think you're much different, mate.
Wow, that was really a great reaction and breakdown of this song and video. Many will point out that this was a single take video with different camera ankles and this is what I love about many of Ren's videos that he did together with director of photography Samuel Perry-Falvey! You will definitely need to do a reaction on his Trilogy about Jenny, Screetch and Violet (which may be even a longer reaction video but I wouldn't mind), Money Game Part 1, and his latest song Illest Of Our Time - but of course, there are many more incredibly diverse and interesting songs from Ren that you should check out, including his cooperations with other amazing independent artists or busking with his band The Big Push. It's just so much fun!!
Great reaction ! You got it - subscribed
It was great watching this, because your reaction is so much like my own when I first watched this a couple of months ago. I was gobsmacked by every aspect of this true piece of art.
You did an amazing job with this reaction. You caught things that no one else has, and I’ve watched hundreds of reactions. Thanks for showing me even more things in this piece than I had seen myself
This is one of the best breakdowns I have seen of this song. Thanks for giving it the time it deserves and being unapologetic about that.
He is a voice for every person who has suffered with trauma, illness, physical and psychological pain. ❤❤❤
Ren deserves rewards. I believe he is getting the real rewards. Support, love of his music, love of his message!
I truly enjoyed your honest, well thought out reaction. Well done. I had to subscribe. I think Ren's one of the true artists we all need.
Subscribed mostly because of you reaction to the "loosen the noose of the rope". I had the same feeling I guess, goosebumbs and tears, because is such a powerful and poetical line! Well done! And now just let you go down in the Renosphere. ✌️
welcome to the Ren train you wont be disappointed ❤
Great reaction, I'm looking forward to you discovering more Ren. The man's a genius.
Great reaction. You picked out so many details other people didn't mention and I've not noticed and I've watched this + reactions about 50 times 😅 Thanks for giving it the time and attention a masterpiece like this deserves 👌 It was a pleasure to watch 🙏
I appreciate that you saying that! Much love 🙏
Loved your reaction, you discovered many of the intricacies in this piece of art/music of Ren. I recommend The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff, The Road to Zion and Hip Hop( I think) it’s awesome along with actually everything Ren has done also when he has collaborated with other artists too- I subbed cos I really like your finesse in explaining and understanding his creativity and genius. Nice one 😊
100 subscribers 3 days ago. Almost 900 subscribers today after reacting to Ren! That’s the power Ren brings. Enjoy the roller coaster! It’s a great ride and he has zero bad songs.
Fantastic reaction. I love seeing others get excited and totally get every aspect of whatvRen is saying, with the production, his guitar, his voice, his body language, everything. You have my sub and I highly recommend you checking out more Ren and his band the big push. He is so diverse and everything he does is just phenomenal and means so much. Very talented young man. ❤
the interesting thing about reacting to ren.. theres a ton of us following reactions to this. watch that sub count fly.
this is one of the better reactions I have seen. You caught more than a lot of the other reactors. Good job,
Amazing analysis! I was super impressed with how many details you noticed that I had missed after watching so many times. When you mentioned the shadow and that third source of light from the top right, it made me notice the kind of “godly” light just barely shining down and the subsequent dark shadow casted to the bottom left floor, totally going along with his message of “the brighter the light shines, the darker the shadow.” Thanks for helping me understand this even better!
Great reaction 👍
Great eye for detail 👌
Yup, subd and hit the bell 😉
Ren is a very versatile ARTist... a rabbithole well worth diving into 😉
great reaction thumbs up :) subbed
One of the best reaction to this amazing performance!! Thank you!!
New subscriber due to this reaction! Thanks for the time you took to really take it all in. You did an amazing job on this one! I know you’ll be going down the REN rabbit hole and I’m all in for that ride!
You went from 100 subs to 1000 in a day! Congratulations man, it because of the amazing attention to detail! Never lose that no matter how big you get. Cause I see this channel getting big with this kind of great content 😮😮😮
If you haven’t see it yet you have to break down
Chinchilla Live version of Fingers and Aruora Murder 5,4,3,2,1 at the Nobel Peace concert. 😮😮 you’ll love ❤ those! 💯
Thanks again for the amazing reaction brother. Get it! I’ll be sharing your channel!!
WOW! I really appreciate the kind words! I'll add all of them to the list 🤟Thank you for your support
welcome to the RENaissance man! your channel will grow if you react to all of REN and his music including his band THE BIG PUSH and his colabs with friends such as SAM TOMPKINS & CHINCHILLA who stand alone as top tier artist. thank you for your reaction. im waiting for more! peace & love to everyone!
That was a fantastic reaction! You figured out that everything Ren does is intentional without having seen any of his other videos and that’s impressive! He’s an amazing artist and so versatile. Welcome to the rabbit hole 😊 subbed!
Truth in a blender. What is reality when facts and truths don't align and point in the same direction like a compass?
One of the best reactions! 👍
Your reaction was one of the best I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot! Thank you! Your channel is about to explode!
Nice to see an intelligent reaction. Well done, your channel will do well.
Pointing out that the smaller, non-flickering lamp was smaller and set back was an excellent observation. It was to mimic his timid side, almost cowering from the flickering lamp.
Oh man. The previous commenters were not exaggerating. The amount of details you caught on the first watch is INSANE. Instant subscribe.
Some of the small details I have so far only seen one person notice,.youtuber called Lightmane, who is not even a reactor, he just watched a lot of reactions and realised nobody seems to notice what he noticed, so he wanted to share it with the world. But you noticed them on the first watch!
And what amazes me the most is that you did it while at the same time remaining a normal, emotional human being! In other words, if you would be just a cold analyst with mad eye for details, it would be easier to accept (I want to believe I'd catch them too if I wasn't too overwhelmed with emotion), but no, you were very clearly strongly reacting emotionally, and still being able to notice them.
Lastly, the "wow, we hit 100 subscribers! " sounds funny 3 weeks later when you're just hitting 2K. Well deserved mate!
Welcome, I am happy you're here. It's been a wild ride but genuinely enjoyable. The lad Ren is on a different frequency of talent! Thank you for the love, cheers to you mate 🤟
Great reaction. Enjoy the Ren rabbit hole. You've just scratched the surface!!
You had really good and thorough commentary on every thing, better than a lot of people. Great review!
Great insights. I’ve watched this music video hundreds of times and one of the items I really agonized over was the flickering lights in the outro. I was afraid it was intended to say that the darkness was actually taking control. But I think your take is much more accurate, it’s him showing that he has learned to live with (and dance) with darkness. That he can still create and dance and have joy even with that darkness as a part of him. Thank you.
I get the "torture" aspect, but I also think the Pig Butcher represents the mental health care system itself. Also, both lights flickering at the end represent both sides of Ren coming together in that eternal dance.
Welcome to Ren,enjoy the ride,great reaction 👌
I watch a ton of music reactions to many genres of music, and lately Ren has consumed my interest. I really enjoyed your perspective of this song in particular. You were able to form your own theories and connections (on the fly) to how everything connected to what Ren was trying to portray and I think that was awesome. Keep up the good work man. I will be looking forward to your next reaction.
Commenting half way through your reaction, I have watched many many reactions but you are the first person to mention the room representing him being stuck inside his own head or the dark side lamp being dominate over the light side lamp. Really good thoughts, Iam enjoying your reaction and looking forward to other observations you may have as it gois along.
listened to the 2nd half and saw you picked up on the viictim and student line. I think that is important and you are the first person I have heard that agrees with that statement, if you watch it again notice that the first time he does the " yodeling" the lights are not flashing, you noticed that they were during the 2nd sequecnce of yodeling, I think that represents that he has learned that the struggles he went through are what allows him to be so creative, without his dark side he would not be the incredible artist he is. The flickering lights at the end represent the power given to his creativity by acepting and learning from all aspects of his mind. I am subscribing to you in the hope that you react to some of his other videos, he has very profound thoughts and an uncanny ability to communicate them to a very wide range of people.
Be prepared for your mind to be blown on almost every occasion you watch a Ren performance. There is no end to his talent. Your perceptive analysis did this art piece justice. Thank you.
Not a lot of people noticed the shadows
YEAH!!! I was mad at myself for missing that cuz I love photography, so that shoulda jumped right out at me!!
Great reaction! I am really looking forward to seeing you react to Ren's other stuff... Honestly you ain't seen nothing yet! Prepare to have your mind blown some more!
Ren is incredible enjoy the journey......
Welcome to the rabbit hole. Enjoy exploring his diversity.
Enjoyed your reaction. The noose on the rope gets me every time.
I second the St Paul and The Broken Bones suggestion. A generational voice.
For a quick dip into Ren diversity I suggest
Chalk Outlines (live)
Illest of our time
I shot the sheriff (live busking with his band The Big Push)
This will give you a good representation of his breadth in as few songs as possible.
You left off Money Game, The Hunger, and the epic Ballad of Jenny and Screech (and Violet)!
@@TrismegistusMx I agree but if I wanted to get someone to get a grasp of the range of skills in as few songs as possible I think mine cover the range pretty well. Not that I don’t love the ones you’ve mentioned too :)
Hi Ren, then a bit of a reprive , I Shot the Sheriff/ Road to Zion... then back deep in the story telling with the Tale of Jenny and Screech full version , then for the depth of range and styles The Hunger. Then I think you are well deep in the warren , ENJOY the look around ! IMHO
You did an amazing job breaking this down. I love Ren and his music. Hopefully you do more Ren. He’s an amazing artist.
The two lamp analogy sounds perfect.. that's why his voice cracks when he is trying to stand up to the dark
For me, the final line of this song says a lot about the meaning. Its "we're a coin minted different sides" and while he is singing, the lights are going, and he has elements from both the light and shadow sides. I think that this also echoes in his monologue where he says that it isn't a battle to win, and even at the start of the song with 'you gotta kill you if you want to kill me". Its not about one side winning and banishing the other side entirely, its about an acknowledgement that he is the light and the dark and that each day is a compromise (the dance) as he navigates both sides, sometimes with one side leading the dance, other times with the other side leading the dance. This entire performance becomes even more impressive when you realise that not only was it all shot in one take (I think that they tried this a few times, repeating the single take all the way through until they were happy and this was the fourth take - although the end monologue is from a different take) but also that both he and the guitar are mic'd up. Its a single take, performed live.
Dude. You saw things that 30 other reactors didn't connect. i.e. lamps. Very cool. Subscribed
Appreciate you being here!
Dude. This was my first time seeing your content. I've gotta say, that collection in the background is beautiful lol
Thanks for being here, and thank you for noticing the collection! 🤟
This was filmed live!! Ren mixes his own sounds!! He produces his own videos!! This man is pure genius!!!
I don’t believe he is a generational artist!!! He’s so much beyond that!!
I feel I’m able to have an opinion on this as I’m, nearly 60, and have heard, and really love the best of the best, music wise, to me anyway!
Great reaction,,,, No let me correct that, an excellent reaction .... you caught so much that many do not, subbed and looking forward to seeing more from you.....one sock longer than the other ...great observational skills, hope you react to more from Ren
Wonderful reaction. I hope Ren gets to see this one.
Incredible reaction! I've watched dozens if reactions and I can't believe how much you picked up from one viewing. I think of this as 3 voices: evil with large light, Ren with little light stuck in the corner, and hope the light above. When you get to the part where you say he has a mental break, that is what he references in his monologue about the battle of good and evil being futile. Then at the final song all three voices are able to sing together to make improvements over the intro song. Also, it is interesting to see a few reactors jump on the segment about doctors pushing pills. They agree with the dark side that doctors don't know what they are doing and go down the evil pharma rabbit hole. These reactors forget (see monologue) that doctors are students and human beings.
I’ve subscribed man. This was the reaction I’ve been waiting for. Your attention to detail is just fab. What a fucking tune though eh?! Nice work mate! 🙌
Great reaction! I'm always so excited and happy for people just discovering Ren...you have so much great music and art in you future!
Hi Ren has been nominated in four categories for the 2023 Prague Music Video Awards: best music video, best low budget video (under $3k), best cinematography, and best European music video. It's one single, live shot, and the cinematographer is Samuel Perry-Falvey, who does most of Ren's videos. 😊
Great job, reacting to this masterpiece from REN. I’ve seen this many times, I’m still awed by it.
Fantastic reaction!
He writes, produces, makes his own beats, etc. One of the most creative artists I've ever seen. The guy is amazing.
You'll find Ren a deep well; I hope you will explore his music further. He was also in a band called The Big Push, and there are quite a few awesome sets and songs performed live on the street. Great reaction, and congrats on all the new subs!
You just got a new sub!!! Your analysis was great. Ren is a force. I look forward to seeing you react to more of his work. He is an artist, and is garnering a massive community. I think when we see someone who SEES Ren, you will get supporters! Keep it up!!
I love the way you have pulled this apart... I never noticed before, The small light from the dark side is casting the strong shadow. As he mentions at the end. Great reaction top work. I have liked and subscribed
I appreciate that very much! 🤟
I found this song about a year ago when I was going through some of the worst days of my life. Huge life changes with the health of my parents that live 2 days away, a huge medical injury event with me that left me disabled and unable to sit or stand for 2 months before I could start relearning how to walk. A heart condition that would trigger psychosis in which I genuinely believed the people I loved would be so much better off without me. And the people I dared to talk about this with were going through a religious deconstruction and didn’t have space for others…so they ghosted me. This song found me then, and saved my life a couple of times, not being hyperbolic at all. I now go through binges of hearing other people discover him and feel the awe that I had…still have. Thank you for this heartfelt reaction. It was great to watch you fall into the rabbit hole.
“I would battle the forces of evil, and for the next 10 years I suffered the consequences” this is one of the most profound lines that goes unnoticed. Because for anyone who has given themselves to a life of faith, it’s unreal how fast darkness attacks you when you turn your self toward the light.
Like turning your back on a tiger, quickly becoming a susceptible prey
NICE REACTION!!! I've watched more than Im willing to admit... & you picked up on some visual clues I've not noticed or heard others notice before. Subscribed! . Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. Ren isn't limited by anything... especially not genre. You'll see.😊 Might I suggest The Tale of Jenny and Screech Trilogy [Full]. The order is important... so finding the full Trilogy video is helpful: Jenny... Screech... then Violet...in that order. Sick Boi is a good next step... followed by The Hunger. Then for a switch... Ren and Chinchilla's collaborations: How To Be Me & Chalk Outlines. Losing It and Genesis next. You can't go wrong. Oh... & his busking videos with the band The Big Push... and with Sam Tomkins... they won't disappoint either. ENJOY!!! That's just the start.
Thank you for taking your time to appreciate this beautifully raw artistic masterpiece. 🥰
I discovered Ren in January. Have watched almost nothing else but his music and 100s of his reactions. I have noticed in almost every reaction to Hi Ren is a period of silence followed by WOW 😂😂
I have watched no less than 30 reactions. You hit it better than anyone, you have amazing observation skills. The only thing I think you missed is watching this without stopping for the first time.
I see it has been mentioned below, but I will add my support for reacting to The Tale of Jenny and Screech, the trilogy. It is three separate videos and needs to be done in order of Jenny, Screech and Violet's stories. Snake, if you were moved by the songwriting, structure and performance of "Hi Ren", then you will be astounded by Jenny and Screech.
I subbed and made the bell black.
@@GhostWatcher2024 Thankyou. I have since seen this complete video. An excellent suggestion.
Thank you for the support and I look forward to checking out the Tales! 🤟
Insightful reaction 👍 The tale of Jenny & Screech (And Violet’s tale) displays his incredible command of language and storytelling, will not disappoint.
I'm looking forward to seeing his other work, but I promised myself I won't move on until I can watch this and not cry. We're on day four.
Good insights my friend... you'll enjoy going down the Ren rabbit hole and seeing how dynamic and special he truly is. Also, shout out for the Mr Robot reference, that's my favorite show.
Fantastic breakdown. Loved the progression of emotion and realization as you went through each area of lyrics and his performance. Many reactors look at this from a narrow perspective, Ren battling psychological issues instead of that macro message, the battle we all go through. The idea that you can’t really eliminate that darkness, but you can (sort of) accept who you are, that fighting it means you stumble. Awesome job bro.
