Ren is absolute 🔥
okay, we'll play along! I think Ren & his fans are gonna knock your socks off - guarantee you've not heard anything like him before. But it isn't hard to remember words, even I know the words to this song. :)
Yeah I guess when you’re truly into the band or singer it doesn’t take long to remember the lyrics!! This was a very interesting video and lyrical song. 🔥🔥🔥
@@chasalbert5113, @politicallypink is absolutely right about Ren's fan base. We are a loyal a supportive bunch. Not just supportive of Ren and reactors, but of each other. He's managed to bring millions (?) together to learn what it's like to look for the positive in ourselves and each other with encouragement. Stay along for the ride. I don't think you'll regret it. If you want to try something that shows a completely different side of Ren, try I Shot The Sheriff, (the one with the thumbnail of him wearing a tank T-shirt. There are so many to choose from. He can't be boxed into any genre because he does them all! Hope to see you again soon!
So well said. Thank you. @@rockyroad64
The I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop video with Ren in red suspenders showcases Rens incredible talent as well as his other band mates in The Big Push.
The kindness revolution is on route
Welcome to the wonderful world of ren! Cant wait to see you dive into the never ending rabbit hole which is ren 😂 💜💜
Like the song that never ends…Rens rabbit hole never ends! ❤
You're going to get lots of Ren's loyal fans checking you out as you react to his content. Many, if not all, will like & subscribe to your channel. It's a good idea to gain a little insight to who Ren actually is. Take a look at his saying thank you to 1 million subscribers. You can react to it at the start of your next Ren video.
Cheers pal 👍🍻
I know all the words!!! This is a Masterpiece!!
Welcome to Ren's Rabbit hole...... I have yet to find a bad or so-so Ren song. Ren, the writer, the poet, the multi-instrumentalist, the producer, the director,the actor and most of all a great human being. He writes all of his own beats and music, the king of one take videos. He also just hit #1 on the UK music charts for his album Sick Boi. Enjoy the journey. Cheers from The RENagades
There is NO one that does storytelling like Ren can. His Jenny and Screech trilogy and Money Game trilogy (3rd being my friend and most recent MV) but for rap craziness is Losing It and Hunger. Also, this is a live one take as is a lot of his music and even MV’s are also. Murderer MV is amazing but the live of it will blow your mind, as well as For Joe which was written about losing his friend to suicide 13 years ago. Just his personal life story is thought provoking and painful and he puts all of that in his music.
He wrote the song, writes ALL his lyrics, of course he remembers them. He’s played live on the streets of Brighton (in England) for years, with his band The Big Push, so he’s absolutely professional and used to performing, and getting it right first time. He’s AWESOME live!
according to Ren he memorizes his lyrics as he writes, line by line. Street performers are different…and he did it for years❤
@@margaretkichenama6022 that's exactly what I just said! He's an excellent busker, The Big Push were awesome. I understand why they went their separate ways, but it's our (their audience's)loss.
Let's not forget that theater is a thing. Remembering two hours of text is common.
@@TWFydGlu indeed. It makes me laugh when reactors say “how does he remember all those words?”. Well for one thing they’re his words, he practices A LOT, and as you say a play requires the actors to memorise thousands of words, actions, emotions. Do these people, these reactors, never go to the theatre? Have they never seen an actual performance of, say, Shakespeare? Or Wilde? How sad that people have such narrow views of art. If they think Minaj is talented, I feel sorry for them. Education is obviously lacking for far too many people who put themselves “out there” on RUclips. They end up looking foolish & asking ignorant questions.
Hell I know every word of this song now after listening to it 47,952 times. I love Ren if that wasn't obvious😁
Omg.. the You g Ones.. that brings me back to jr. High…ahhhhhhh😂😂
Everyone that watched this has probably seen Hi Ren at least 100 times already. But we still enjoy watching others experience him .
You should check out some more Ren, he is pretty amazing!
Neil!!😂 Loved that show!
I loved how much this fired you up! You will be blown away by his creativity & genre bending! He is his own genre!
Really enjoyed your reaction, thanks!❤✌️
Yeah the words make you really think..we all have an inner self we battle so this hits home for most of us!!💪
Ren’s album Sick Boi is currently #1 in UK. I think people are crying out for “deep” so don’t apologise for it! He’s a generational artist and is independent, working with a small group of his friends, so thanks for helping to spread the word in the USA! I really hope you react to more - subbed in the hope that you do! 😁
ren is great
That song shows his talent for sure…sounds like a very complicated song to compose..lyrically and musically. I enjoyed it! 🔥🔥
@chasalbert5113 You ain't seen nothing yet!
Diolch yn fawr, Thank-you very much for your reaction. I have seen Hi Ren literally thousands of times, and the joy of watching new reactions always warms my heart. You sir have introduced a new layer to what this song means to me. Neil from the young ones was on point, made me laugh out loud. Happy days welcome to Ren your in for a treat dude.🏴🇺🇸👍
There is so much gold in his music. His new album Sick Boy is also amazing.
A number of his songs are really lifted with amazing, yet low budget, videos. Often one takes.
The video production on Money Game pt 3 is really fantastic.
Love Ren. The Rabbit hole is well worth the journey. He'll surprise you at every turn.
YES!!! Neil!! You are so right. I hadn't snapped to that until you said it just now.
This was a live take Chas, that is really impressive.
Ren does most of his videos live.
The guys a lyrical genius 👌
That makes it even more impressive 💪💪💪
@@chasalbert5113 While it was Live...it was not contiguous..at least not the video part. Ren said they had to shoot the video about 4 times to get all the shots in. You can tell when there is a close up of him and then they switch to the Long Shot...if it was live you would see the cameraman standing right in front of Ren...Live Audio Recording of one of the takes, yes..but the video was a compilation of his 4 run throughs.
Still an awesome video!!
@@watcher2554
I thought it was a one take live that took 4 run throughs to get the right take ... all shot from multiple angles at once??
@@charlo7518 Thats what I heard
@@watcher2554it was a one take, multiple cameras. Had to do it 4 times. Not a compilation.
Wow!! I always ask everyone if they remember the Young Ones and nobody ever does! My favorite was Neil. Youre the first person Ive heard mention that show in years .... Anyway, I'm a Renegade and I came for Ren .. I've heard this so many times I have all the words memorized and I cant even tell you my phone number without looking it up 🙄
great reaction video ❤
have fun going down the Ren Rabbit Hole ...you wont regret it!
Peace
✌️
You have no idea what you've just stepped in. The Ren Rabbit Hole is deep and wide man. Keep exploring, you're going to find some amazing stuff!
Thanks for joining the community of Ren reactors, I enjoyed your episode. Ren is a generational artist and someone who will continually amaze you with his lyrics, mad skills on guitar, bass and piano and acting. For over ten years he has uploaded music to RUclips so you have a lot to discover. We fans call ourselves RENegades and we welcome you with open arms. If you would like to continue on your journey thru Ren’s catalog you might look at Sick Boi, sort of a sequel or continuation on his theme of his battle with mental illness and a battle with the healthcare system. You have a new subscriber so I’ll be watching.
This song like most of his videos are done live in one take, he had to make a bunch of attempts to nail it but this is a full live performance shot with just different camera angles
you look like an astronaut , subbed for the Rens
RENegade here.. sub’d to be part of your REN adventure.. you won’t be sorry! REN’s an amazing artist; singer, songwriter, performer, musician… and on!! BTW - this performance (as most of his) is live - one take. He does multiple full takes and then picks the best one. He chooses the site and set up.. he works with a videographer (Sam) who does all of the filming. Great reaction.. happy to be along for the ride!
I heard that from another person..that just blows my mind!! 😳….AMAZING
Start with his number 1 album on the UK charts called (sick boi) 18 songs on the album, all different and bangers. The album will blow you away, he is a gifted artist/musician. He raps with the best of them and loves hip hop. His band plays Ozzie, Bob Marley, Rolling Stones, Who..etc. He does it all with a tiny team. Him and his camera man for his solo stuff. People want substance and are tired of mainstream rappers. That is why Ren is loved. He has made music for the last 12 or so yrs all while fighting chronic illness.
💁 it is Ren - a GREAT artist 😀
Thanks for your reaction 🤝👍👏
Greetings from Germany 🙋♀️
Tommy Shelby jr. Keep diving in Ren's amazing ocean, great reaction.
Great reaction Chas, I think this is a future classic, up there with Bohemian Rhapsody, Stairway to heaven, American Pie etc. I have to say well done for making me chuckle when you mentioned Neil from the 'Young ones'! I hadn't noticed it before but now I won't be able to unhear it!
Ren is a Genius❤ great reaction thanks brother.
This information gives you some background on Ren and puts much of his music and performance art in perspective. I gathered the information from old newspaper interviews, articles, and Ren's public livestreams and posts. A handful of people frequently post an earlier version of my comment to various reactions that they copied and pasted verbatim, so if this is a repeat just ignore this comment. I keep editing the information, as needed, and have removed details about Ren that some found to be too personal, such as his full name and D.O.B. All the information here was gathered exclusively from sources Ren personally approved for public release.
Ren is a Welsh musician/independent artist/producer, self-taught multi-instrumentalist. He pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, Ren began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures, which eventually caused him to discontinue his studies and return home. In addition, Ren was signed by Sony Records in 2010 and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point that he was unable to go on; consequently, his contract with Sony was dissolved. Ren would later relocate to Brighton.
Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led him to experience psychosis and develop PTSD. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure.
Ren is in Calgary, Canada undergoing treatments such as IV therapy and other interventions five days a week, as well as surgeries (wisdom tooth removal and cavitation surgery). His Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD), which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, and adrenals as well as his bones/joints. Hence, Ren is receiving additional treatments for this previously undiagnosed condition. He recently took a break from treatments and returned to the UK to visit family and friends, and to produce some very ambitious musical projects to be released soon.
Let's keep supporting Ren as he undergoes his treatments. Check out and subscribe to his channel; if you are a content creator, ask your audience to subscribe to Ren. Ren's YT channel just surpassed 1 million subscribers. and his videos have garnered millions and millions of views. Listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to the world, and his work is important in these troubling times. Someone has finally created a Wikipedia page for Ren, so there is additional information available.
Wow..thank you so much for the additional info..this was a great read🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@chasalbert5113 Glad you found it of some use. I left you another comment with his musical background and music catalog but YT hid it again. It will either show up in your spam folder or in your comment section in a couple of weeks.
@@chasalbert5113 when @JensRandolff gives you the info you know your doing well and should expect an up-tick in subs , including me , i wont be surprised if Ren shows up to the party to acknowledge you reaction , info , Ren values reactors , they,re like family to him , welcome to the family , welcome to the Renegades . its a revolution in itself .
@JensRandolff I thought I beat you to this one. Should have known better! lol
Always want to say hello, Jens!!! Luv ya!!!
I had no idea you had returned to reacting. I was watching back when you did all your Nightwish reactions and then disappeared for a couple of years lol. Welcome back. Ren is the guy who managed to break the Nightwish dominance on my Spotify.
Holy smokes ..yeah that was a blast from the past! I took some time off..work and Family come first 😁..I have some new found time during my days so I am trying to get back into it 🙏🏻
Welcome to the RENaissance. You’ll be a RENegade before you know it. Enjoyed the reaction. Liked and sub! Looking forward to more.
Thanks for the sub! SWEET!!!
About Ren.
Welcome to the Renaissance! Ren is my favourite artist of all time. I say artist because he is a multifaceted diamond! From singing (all styles) to rapping (bars/flows/schemes for days), Bardcore (story telling) beatbox, makes his own beats, scatting and a multi instrumentalist (guitars, bass, drums, melodica and more). On top of that he is the most beautiful human being inside and out who has been through and continues to go through absolute hell.
He’s 33 from Anglesey, Wales originally but spent most his life in Brighton, England. He’s been living in Calgary, Canada all year receiving intense medical treatment for his brain damage and mast cell activation disorder amongst other things.
He started off making beats at 12 and selling CDs then moved on to busking. He was part of a band called Trick The Fox and was signed to Sony but they didn’t renew the contract after his health deteriorated. He then started The Big Push. They went on hiatus the end of last year after 5 years partly due to his move to Canada and also because the other members are also soloists and were moving around too.
I have a list of songs to check out of all styles. Obviously this is no where near everything but gives you places to start. 🖤

More Ren sweetie
Ren❤❤❤❤
Cillian Murphy…😂 he’s looking more like REN every day 😂😂
So glad you not only gave Ren a chance, but enjoyed it.
Whoa, I have not heard anyone mention The Young Ones in many decades. I was a kid, but I remember the guy with orange hair and metal bits on his face. I had never seen anyone look like that before, but curiosity led me to discovering a whole genre of music my family disapproved of. 😅
Love Ren. Mad talented. Independent, literally does it all (from composing to creating the video, from producing his own beats to playing multiple instruments, etc. And he does it in various genres. The Ren rabbit hole is deep my friend.
He's got stories - The Tales of Jenny and Screech (full) or his Money Game series; personal stuff - Sick Boi or Illest of Our Time; fun rap - The Hunger or Losing It; bluesy/soulful songs - Hold On or Ocean; islandy music - Humble or Murderer; it goes on and on. He's hard to define, and you never know what the next song will sound like-just good.
Would love to hear more Ren reactions from you.
Welcome to Ren,enjoy the ride,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Ive heard this so many times that i can sing along. But its tough to play a guitar and remember the words. And also The Hu song Wolf Totem. And its in Mongolian lol. Youd have to turn on the CC to understand of course. Good reaction. What did you forget to turn off. I couldnt see that word.
Ren is an amazing talent , he’s blown my mind with his music
You'll never be bored with any artwork from Ren and By Ren along with a few mates. Illest of out time is great. Time means nothing and you'll be sadden when it's over besides your brain is Scrambled.
Ren is All and then some in any and all Genres. There isn't w box that Cold Hold Him as He is a Force to be Reconed with ❤
Yep - spot in with the young ones reference.
Love your reaction - getting sucked in to the brilliance of this art.
😁🤣💪💪thanks much love 🙏🏻
Totally agree with you that he sounded like Niel from The Young Ones. Much love and strength from Queensland Australia 🦘❤
Such a unique and super talented artist! He's incredible and this song is a work of genius. When I first heard it, to be honest I thought it was kind of weird, but the more I listened to it, the more I liked it and the more I realized how deep it is. Amazing stuff! i see by the view count that this is also a very popular video to react to...great to see your channel attracting more viewers. Great reaction man! Cheers!
Subbed. Anyone who references The Young Ones on a Hi Ren reaction video deserves my attention
Chas you make me smile
I'm also an old fart x
Subbed
😁..Susan you understand then..it creeps up on you😂😅
Imagine taking a bunch of songs you had written over the years and thinking...humm, there might be enough here for an Album!
No Lable, just Raw Talent and a group of Mates that has his back and knew how to work a camera..LoL!!!... REN just hit #1 on the UK Album Charts!! (#137 in the USA on "Billboard 200" chart). Amazing Feat!!!!
Enjoy the roller coaster ride that is Ren! Just subbed to follow your journey. He is amazingly talented and will constantly surprise you! Welcome to the Reniverse! ☮️❤️😎
“So… let’s get into some craziness…”.
Little did he know… the craziness would get into him… just a little.
Welcome to the ren rabbit hole he is a genius
Ha ! It's not just me then! 🇬🇧 I remember watching the young ones when it first aired here in the UK 🇬🇧 and the first time I heard hi ren way back that's the first thing that came to my mind he sounded like Neil from the young ones !
Lyrics aren’t hard to remember if you really like a song, regardless of length. Especially when the artist is as phenomenal as Ren.
Got to love Ren ❤ thanks for the reaction 😊
Love Ren, will sub for Ren reactions...the song Sick Boi is after Hi Ren of you want to check it out. It will give you the rest of the story..❤❤
Ok it’s a deal..more Ren it is!😁
Beautiful reaction
So for people with ADD style stuff that had music as the first language we learned, this is the sort of song we sorta memorized by the second time we heard it.
Great reaction and observations! Thank you!
So glad you found Ren & i found you! Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole! Youre in Great company ❤ new sub
Thanks you so much!!🙏🏻🙏🏻..I am glad I stumbled upon this one too
Welcome to Ren!! Im here for it!!
New sub here 👋 enjoy falling down the Ren rabbithole...hes a lyrical genius 😊
Subbed in the hope you will watch more Ren
Yo the young ones can't believe you know that show man haha it was a classic
Yeah it was sooooo good!! 🔥🔥😁
Thanks to JensRandolff (comments below) for the Ren bio........Ren may be in treatment for the rest of his life........my thoughts: the Pig is a butcher, I think Ren's opinion of many doctors and therapists........the discordant guitar and vocals are intentional, symbolizing his internal chaos, as are the wild blinking lights.......
Your comment about Neil from the young ones was epic 😂. Seen this song a million times and never made that connection.
😁😂…I could unsee it🤷♂️🔥🔥
It's a Poltergust Saturday night baths in the same water....Rick was my fav
Cillian Murphy….. it’s his son! Kidding
Ren is brilliant
I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. We're all dudes.
-Kel Mitchell
Thanks I feel better now 😁😂💪💪
Peaky fookin blinders
Tommy Shelby is the man and yes Ren could be in the movie as one of the Peaky Blinders!!! ❤
Uh YES!! Thomas Shelby!! 🤣😅😁🔥🔥🔥…thanks I couldn’t freaking remember the name 💪💪💪
Cillian Murphy
@@debbiehealy1783 and he’s so easy on the eyes! ❤️
Cillian Murphy. I see the resemblance, too Love your Reaction!
Cillian is an actor but it was about his character - Thomas Shelby
Sub. More Ren please ❤
I know every word I think, is this a RUclips challenge? 😊
Ohhhh Goobydoot don’t you make me do it!!! 😁😂😅
Here for the Ren show! If you go down this 🐇 🕳️ you won’t be disappointed 😊
Thanks !! It will be fun.
❤❤❤
You just stated “young ones “ !! Automatic pass!!😂
it reminds me of Neil too . lol
Yes he looks similar to Cillian Murphy. He is a performer it would be unfair to call him a musician, he's a storyteller, he adopts different personas for tracks and videos, he acts sings raps beatboxes, plays almost every instrument all self taught whilst he was ill, is totally independant and doesn't make happy beats for the radio as he doesn't give a shit about stats and such.....oh yeah and he's just made no.1 in the UK charts..independently!
Funny Thing: Nobody knows the guy behind Peaky Blinders... Everybody should know Ren.
Got to do Sick Boi
