      Check out my comment below. But I would do "The Tales of Jenny and Screech" even though it's a trilogy, it's all in one video, so it looks 13 something minutes long! I wrote you a brief thing about Ren's health down below. I want to see more of you. You seem cool! Come on down the Ren 🐇🕳

    Welcome to the multitalented genius Ren. This masterpiece is just the tip of the iceberg. A powerful icing on the Ren-cake if you will 😅 He is a relatable voice for everyone dancing in the darkness as he eloquently, with all the authenticity of someone who is painfully familiar with it, lets us know that we are not alone and inspires us to keep dancing. And in doing so, Ren has literally saved lives with his art.
    I trust that other RENegades will fill you in on his backstory and probably recommend Sick Boi for insight into his frustrations from being misdiagnosed for years. I will just add a suggestion to check out one of my personal favourites: Crutch feat. Bibi. It’s an older song from before Ren was finally correctly diagnosed with Lyme disease and was written after a breakdown following multiple emergency trips to the hospital. It is heart wrenching and stunning.
    Also if you want to understand the man behind the art (and why we all love him so dearly), check out his 1m subscribers video on defining success. Ren is not just a brilliant artist but a genuinely good human being who wants to inspire positive change in the world.
    Hope to see you deep down the Ren rabbit hole with the rest of us 🐰

    Ren is one of a kind...a MASTER story teller...performer.... no 2 songs are the same.... Please react to his MASTERPIECE that is a trilogy of 3 songs woven together to make an amazing story ending... The Tale of Jenny and Screech (FULL)...which includes the 3rd one Violets Tale... MUST be watched together and in order to "GET":...the ending...

      Yes in order but I think its good either way.
      Listen to each one.
      It's long to watch all together
      I find it a lot to take in all together as one.
      I love when reactors find the hidden gems. Of which there are many.
      My preference is a mix of the funny ones and the freckled angels too.
      Ren has such talent being able to do different genres
      Happy Sunday 😊

    Some Renegades will respond - please take their advice on REN suggestions - Ren is unique and his subscribers are as well. It’s all love! Listen to REN’s Thank-you to his subscribers when he hit a million followers; it will tell you all you need to know about his character and heart. If you want to understand uniqueness in the industry listen to his battle rap Dumb King Come. Go deep down the Alice in Wonderland Rabbit Hole! 🎉

  • @Jasonfarley1984
    @Jasonfarley1984 5 месяцев назад +71

      @kyndkristen 4 месяца назад +4

      It has been years since I’ve been this excited about an artist and he easily joins the ranks of some of the best musicians/bands of all time.
      I am completely in awe of Ren’s talent and range of skill and style.
      I usually avoid reaction videos but watching Ren reactions, it’s often like watching a blind man seeing the sun, the awe and emotions on reactors’ faces.

    Ren is amazing! He does everything; sings, raps, plays multiple instruments, writes, produces his own beats. You never know what you're going to get when you listen to him. He's brilliant! His story is incredible too. I really enjoyed your reaction, and I'll definitely come back to watch more.

  • @DogDocKat
    @DogDocKat 5 месяцев назад +31

    Ren is one of the most talented artists I have ever encountered. There is literally nothing he can't do. Definitely check out more. He has quite the story. Mis-diagnosed with Lyme disease for many years and now dealing with chronic conditions as a result. He has so much amazing music to discover! His solo work is great, as are his bands The Big Push and Trick the Fox. New sub from Calgary 💜💜

  • @darleendionne6403
    @darleendionne6403 5 месяцев назад +32

    Eddie, glad to see you back to music reactions. I stayed subscribed hoping you would come back and kept watching your movie reactions. Ren is an amazing person, cares about individuals, humanity and the world. I see someone suggested watching his 1M subscribers speech which I think does a lot to illustrate who Ren actually is. Even if you don't react, check it out for your own understanding.
    A little about Ren - he got sick in late teens, and was diagnosed with mental health issues. After years (13), of pain, and misdiagnosis, he was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease. This disease is often fully curable by early treatment but if left untreated the bacteria that cause Lyme can attack many systems of your body, including the skin, heart, nerves, joints and even the brain. He is currently, and has been since Jan 2023, in Calgary getting treatment for Lyme disease damage.
    Also, in his late teens, his best friend committed suicide by jumping off a bridge, I think in Wales, while Ren was running to try to stop him. This event had a profound effect on Ren and he has some songs that talk about/allude to, his friend Joe.
    Ren is Welsh, but he actually lives in Brighton, England. He busked with his band, The Big Push. If you want to hear them, my suggestion is the "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop" medley to start with. He also collaborates with other artists, my favourite are his collaborations with Chinchilla, a female artist he calls his musical sibling. Of those, my favourite is "How to Be Me".
    Ren is not tied to one genre. He considers his genre to be "Bardcore". One of his greatest pieces of art is "The Tale of Jenny & Screech" (Full). It is difficult to listen to this trilogy but unfortunately, it is true to life.
    I am a loyal Ren fan and I am happy to welcome you as you tunnel down the Ren rabbit hole.

      What a great comment @darleendionne6403. Just wanted to let you know Ren got his diagnoses of Lyme Disease in December 2015, and his 1st stem cell transplant some months later. Of course he was still in pain and struggled a lot until recently. We all wish him to get to 100% ❤❤

    Also, if you want some background, check out one of the many interviews, like Zach Sang or The Charismatic Voice.
    Also, Knox, Justin Hawkins, Rosalie, Chris Liepe, BBC - and others. Funny you mentioned Rabbithole. Welcome to the Ren Rabbithole! Subbed. 💛 Renegade

    - I’ll tie you up in knots when I lock you inside.
    7:21 “ooooOOHh, issues much?!”
    Man this comment sent me 😂😂 you’ve seen him arguing himself back and forth for SEVEN minutes but it takes ren saying to bad ren inside his mind that he’ll lock him up somewhere for you to question if he has issues. I love that, pure gold 😂😂😂
    Awesome reaction, I’ve liked and subscribed and can’t wait for whatever ren you’ll be recommended by the my fellow renegades, I’d trust them to steer you in the right direction even if ren’s music had any bad directions, but I’ve listen to everything that’s out there to find and I don’t dislike a single one, its insane 😅

  • @tundiel
    @tundiel 5 месяцев назад +23

    Yay Eddie! You found Ren! When I saw you were posting again (missed your PTX reactions!), I was hoping you would come across Ren. My absolute favourite artist. I fell down the Ren rabbit hole a year ago, and I haven't looked back. Pick a genre, and Ren has most likely done it. He raps, Sings, plays guitar (acoustic, electric AND bass), plays the piano, writes all his own stuff (music and lyrics), beat boxes, produces and directs his own videos (with some help from his friends. Just... everything. And he's totally independent.
    You are going to LOVE him. Solo stuff, collaborative stuff, and stuff with his band 'The Big Push'. All fantastic! I am SO here to follow the journey with you! Welcome back ❤

    • @NewfieReactions

    Nice to see you back. I can't wait to see more Ren reactions by you, I am going to love seeing those. What a hoot. You will be amazed, confused, shocked, happy, sad, crying in the variety of videos you see from Ren. He has no genre, he is his own genre.
    Have fun, but hold on to your seat for some you will hear.

    You can go down Ren's rabbit hole and stay there for a long time regardless of you genre preference. Hiphop, metal, blues, R&B, pop, reggae... everything is in Ren's toolbox. The old and the new. And of superb quality.

    @rodgersmith6891 5 месяцев назад +5

    As a fellow Newfoundlander and Renegade, I have recommended this song at least twice and an so, so, happy that you did it. Hopefully, you will continue down the rabbithole. His entire catelogue is pure Gold. A few song suggestions, off the type of my head, that I think you would like include: "Sick boi," "Back on '74/Message in a bottle retake," "Humble," "Genesis," "Chalk Outlines (live)," "Tale of Jenny and screech (make sure to react to the complete 13 minute version), "Murderer," "Losing it," "what you want". The.list can go.on and on and is never ending. Her live duets with Chinchilla ("Chalk Outlines" and "How to be me" are absolutely amazing and, hopefully, you will start reacting to her solo stuff and go down that rabbithole as well. Keep on with the great work

    Fantastic reaction. Welcome to the rabbit hole . Welcome to the Renegades .
    Money game part 1 ,2 and three being the best
    Chalk outlines, Fred again, sevin sins , sick boi…..oh man there are so many . He changes everything up each time it’s incredible .
    Tale of Jenny and screech including violets tale (full in sequential order for a major twist)
    Ren was misdiagnosed and treated for mental health issues while all the time it was Lymes disease. It destroyed important neural pathways . He got worse and worse until one day they figured out what was going on. He’s been coming to Canada for treatment for months at a time where he writes and produces his own stuff. Without a label and in most cases it’s one continuous shot live !!

    Oooh, you're in for a treat. Ren does so many different genres (haven't heard a country song yet but you never know!). His very latest is a gorgeous piano piece called Mackey, in tribute yo a friend who tragically dies.

  • @CrimzonFangz
    @CrimzonFangz 5 месяцев назад +4

    Very nice reaction, very pure. I've been addicted to Ren ever since I heard this song a few months ago. His new album is insane. You should check out "Illest of our time" from Ren. It's amazing. Also if you're into story telling you really should check out Fade in/ Fade Out from Nothing More. It's a tear jerker but it's amazing. You've gained a subscriber with this one even if you don't check out my suggestions lol keep up the good work!

  • @Blend-24
    @Blend-24 5 месяцев назад +3

  • @sanfordgfogg
    @sanfordgfogg 5 месяцев назад +2

    When I look at this live performance, I see it as the intro and start of creativity up thru the yodel. It is then interrupted by doubt, and the proverbial curtains part, and we witness the internal conversation between the 2 sides. it culminates in doubt declaring it's existence is in everyone and is everywhere and an individual is helpless to prevent that. Then hope steps up and helps return Ren to be distant and still, and states his ever persistence and presence as well. "We are coin of two different sides." The creativity is then allowed to continue (back to the yodels). This time, however, both sides are present, as indicated by the set lights flashing (they were not in the first yodel). The poem at the end is part of the performance in every version I've heard of it.
    What I get most from that poem is the first line: "When I was 17 years old, I shouted out into an empty room, into a blank canvas, that I would defeat the forces of evil." I feel this shows how we do not start with the life experiences to understand the implications of creating balance within ourselves. We have naive expectations of black and white, good and bad, positive and negative. Meanwhile, we miss the importance of recognizing grayness. "We must not forget, that we are human beings."
    My final thoughts are that navigating through life is a balancing act of that coin of 2 different sides. The expectation of either extreme (such as total salvation or absolute corruption) are deceptive, in that there will be internal struggles in everyone's lives at some point in time. Growth, development, and teachings are tools to give the individual to create that balance, allowing movement forward, rather than any other direction.

    This kid is a musical genius! Restored my love of music! I have been obsessed with everything Ren for a year and a half! I just have trouble listening to anything else! Everything pales in comparison! Then there is also the fact that he is an incredible humanitarian, very humble and very respectful and thankful for his fans!!!

    just a tip, especially for serious Ren songs, go back 2 or 3 seconds when you pause to keep the flow and the context

    • @NewfieReactions
      @NewfieReactions  5 месяцев назад +6

      I used to do that all the time, but it caused my videos to get blocked. I tested it uploading one with and without going back 5 seconds. By going back each time I paused caused it to block when not going back didn't. So weird. So I stopped doing it. But I hear Ren is good at removing copyright issues, so I'll try and keep that in mind. Thanks.

    Ren is a delight, and a genre unto himself. He does use religious imagery, but culturally, not evangelically. This piece is really in the realm of performance art. Done 4 full times in one take, he picked the best, and this is that one.
    And yes, he struggles with misdiagnosed Lyme disease that became a nightmare.

    This was one of the best "Hi Ren" reactions I have watched. I have watched dozens and dozens. GREAT job!

    Love that I found Hi Ren reaction vids because I sit and watch all of them. This video & song together are brilliant. With his facial changes, vein in his neck and lights flickering when bad Ren is talking... genius showing the different sides. & towards the end when he hits some singing notes, damn, he can really sing too.
    "And I go by many names also, Some people know me as "hope"
    Some people know me as the voice that you hear, When you loosen the noose on the rope"
    Wife hung herself in 2020. That line hits me hard. She battled her own self. Maybe that is why I am drawn to this song/video so much.

    Your going to need to deep dive him. He is a true artist... I'm sure the renegades will fill you in on his backstory. He can rap and sing and play guitar and piano. Most of his videos including this one are all recorded live. Keep going you will become a fan

  • @niky9226
    @niky9226 5 месяцев назад

    OMG YESSSS 🙌🙌
    Edit: So glad you are back, and sooo glad you discovered Ren. Please keep going down the rabbit hole, he supports reactions to his music too 😊
    I may be repeating suggestions but anywho:
    -The 3 tales (tales of jenny, screech and violet in that order) I believe he has a compilation of all 3 in a video. This is one is long but I believe its the best ever story telling thats ever been done.
    -Sick Boi
    -His duets with Chinchilla: Chalks Outlines, How to be Me
    - anything from his old band called The Big Push, especially shot the sherrif/road to zion performance (with Ren in the orange suspenders )
    - The Hunger
    - If ur willing to go even darker, Sui*ide, For Joe
    -Money Game parts 1, 2 (lyric video), and 3

    Great reaction! Hope you do dive into more Ren. You can't go wrong with any of his stuff ... all different, some dark and deep, some silly and fun, story telling, rap, singing, covers, originals ... Welcome aboard the Ren Rollercoaster.

  • @Weadle2145
    @Weadle2145 5 месяцев назад +2

    Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole! I have yet to find a Ren song that I don't love! For story telling check out the Jenny & Screech trilogy. Hip hop genesis or hunger or what you want
    Money game 1,2,&3
    Anything with Big Push. They have a lot of street footage from busking.
    His lives with Chinchilla are haunting and beautiful.
    His stuff with Sam Thompkins is incredible.
    I mean really pick one and be surprised because you NEVER know what to expect from Ren. Ren does everything from rock to hip hop to reggae to being a modern day Shakespearian bard with his story telling.
    I've said before Ren is capable of breaking you and fixing you in one song and has some deep messaging in his music.
    Enjoy the ride this should be fun to watch!

    Great reaction! I won't repeat all the superlatives here, they're all facts, but a good follow up to react to is tbe song Sick Boi. It's the title track to his HipHop album that he dropped right after Hi Ren. (made it to #1 on the UK charts). Hope to see another reaction. 😊

    @dehro 5 месяцев назад +2

    it is something of a rite of passage for reactors to listen to the tales of Jenny and Screech next (be sure to pick the 13 minutes version that also includes the third chapter of this triplet)
    Sick boi is also a valid alternative, if you want to delve more into Ren's battles with his health.
    I am sure there will be people telling you all about how he struggled with years of undiagnosed/misdiagnosed Lyme's disease and its consequences.
    Musically, you can't really go wrong with Ren, depending on your tastes. He does Reggae, Rap, Folk, Rock, Metal, Musical Theatre, covers, busking, funny, dramatic, introspective, social commentary.. solo, in duets, with a band... and he does it all extremely well.
    other titles that are worth checking out? How to be me (live), Humble, I shot the sheriff/Road to Zion, War pigs, Freckled angels, Su!cide, the Love music tetralogy, The hunger, Uninvited, Genesis, Murderer, Diazepam, the Money game trilogy... really, the list goes on and they're all, in one way or the other, worth a listen to.

    As a Renegade I Love seeing people experience Ren for the first time. Enjoyed your reaction and subbed for more Ren. When asked what genre Ren's music is the only answer I can give is "Yes".
    As far as his backstory, Ren suffered severe health problems that were misdiagnosed as mental health issues such as bipolar disorder psychosis & chronic fatigue syndrome for many years. When in fact he was suffering from the effects of Lyme's disease. He has been undergoing constant treatment since the correct diagnosis. There is a ton more to his story which he is very open about and I recommend reading more about him.
    Let us know what genre you want to hear and we can recommend a Ren song for you.
    His talent seems limitless and he supports reactors.
    A few songs of his that I absolutely love that you should check out (by category)
    Now that you've met Ren
    Mental Health:
    Sick Boi
    Diazapam
    Dominos
    Collabs:
    Ren & Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines & How to be me
    Ren & Sam Tompkins - BlindEyed
    Bardcore (Hardcore storytelling)
    Tales of Jenny & Screech (all 3 at once)
    MoneyGame Pt3 (I'd recommend all 3 in order)
    I could keep going and going, but this is a good start.
    You've started your trip down the Ren rabbit hole. And it's a beautiful ride!

    Cool really enjoyed your reaction to Rens masterpiece
    He has over two hundred songs so lots to choose from practically every genre. So pick whatever you like although you will get lots of suggestions.
    Discovering ren music is quite an adventure I discovered over a year ago.
    Ren has suffered from 14 years of physical sickness leading also to psychological issues.
    Misdiagnosed for 7 which increased the pain and damage. Unable to make music and housebound for years.
    Ren had Lyme disease from a tick bite
    He is a gifted musician and wordsmith as well as being a lovely human

    Welcome to the REN rabbit hole! Definitely keep checking out his music, there is literally no bad choice. You will get a different version each time, he's literally been called a different human being each time.
    Recommendations: Tales of Jenny & Screech (full trilogy, you'll know becuase it's 13 minutes long), Sick Boi, Animal Flow and Murderer. Those are my favorites

    Newfie! So happy to see you back listening to music! And to have found Ren....whew. hope youre ready for the rabbit hole. I'd rec Sick Boi (to understand more of his current journey) and some epic stories like the money game trilogy or jenny/screech trilogy...one of my absolute favs though is Ren x Chinchilla How to Be Me LIVE. Welcome back to music!

  • @RootsMj
    @RootsMj 5 месяцев назад

    Hi and welcome to the world of Ren! Next steps would be the Jenny & Screech trilogy (full version where all three parts are in order) or maybe Chalk Outlines feat. Chinchilla to see more of his singing capabilities. Or Genesis to see more of his rapping skills. Subbing to follow your journey down this rabbit hole, it's a beautiful place to be in.

  • @coryflynn4007
    @coryflynn4007 4 месяца назад +1

    Fellow Newfie here. Good work on the channel. If you want the channel to grow even more I suggest more Ren as well as 21 pilots and Falling in Reverse.
    Big fan bases who love watching reactors. A good jumping off point for Falling In Reverse is Popular Monster
    21 pilots - Car Radio
    Ren - Chalk Outlines.

    • @NewfieReactions
      @NewfieReactions  4 месяца назад

      I just recorded Ren - Tale of Jenny & Screech but it's flagged for mature audiences. So working on that.

  • @monykasaso
    @monykasaso 4 месяца назад

    I used this song to explain to my mom the battle inside my head. She finally got it. I'm very thankful for Ren. You should check out The Tale of Jenny and Screech (the longer version, three songs together), Money Game (the three parts). Also Chalk Outlines and How To Be Me by Ren and Chinchilla.

  • @jasonremy1627
    @jasonremy1627 5 месяцев назад

    Ren is made of music. One thing you need to know, no matter which song you do next, you will NOT be prepared. Anything. Pick anything. It will blow you away.
