@@cosmiczosoexactly. You only get to discover Ren once, and it's so great watching someone just get into him for the first time. Reliving all the emotions through someone else's eyes is so cool.
Getting the lyrics is generally good with Ren's content as his words can be hard to follow at times and the captions are laughably wrong. But..... In the case of the Jenny/Screech tales go in blind or at least don't read ahead... this is really important!!!
13:52 "it's more of an emotional roller coaster than I thought it was gonna be." Oh, we've all been there sister, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. 😉♥
If you really want to get to know Ren more you have to listen to 'Sick Boy' and 'Power'. Very personal lyrics. For the story telling - 'Jenny and Screech' trilogy. The last part 'Violet's tale' is on another level. Masterpiece x
@@KoalityReactions If I may I would suggest doing "The Tail of Jenny and Screech - FULL" in encompasses all three short stories into a trilogy. Ren put them all into a single video so you don't get them in the incorrect order.
This is the way. After Jenny & Screech, take a look at Sick Boi which looks at his struggle from a different angle - then either segue into some of the more fun rap stuff such as Power, Losing It out The Hunger, or the two super soulful duets with Chinchilla.
I go around watching countless reaction videos to Ren's content. I just love watching people's faces and seeing how they are affected by the twists and turns of the song and what emotions it brings up from them. From that standpoint, this was enjoyable to watch since your in-the-moment reactions were expressive and you did get emotional watching this. I recommend reacting to the song called Su!cIde by Ren next
@@KoalityReactions for sure. As big of a Ren fan as I am,I can’t listen to it, once was enough. I get enough feels from his other stuff, don’t need to be bawling all day
This is just so dark but relatable to! I can relate to this because I’ve had Fibromyalgia for nearly 20 years now but only got a firm diagnosis 3 years ago! Anxiety and depression was terrible but I eventually realised that although my thoughts told me I was dying I wasn’t, after all the time I was like it I was still alive and kicking! During this long time I was given strong painkillers which didn’t work! It got to the point where the only place to go for pain relief was Fentanyl! I was lucky to realise that regardless of how strong they were they wouldn’t work so I went to my Doctor and told him I wanted to get off painkillers! He agreed with me and told me that he would help and also insist that the Pain clinic got me a formal diagnosis. It took me nearly 2 years to get off the painkillers, and get my formal diagnosis, now I can live with minimal medication and very little problems with anxiety and depression. Life goes on…… Nice reaction and comments, one of the best interpretations I’ve seen, you really got it how it was 🌹🌹🌹
Awe thank you Darrell! I definitely feel like this message is super relatable. I’m so sorry you had to deal with undiagnosed pain for so long, and the complications that come with that. 🤍 But I’m glad they finally got the right diagnosis and were able to help you.
New sub here, I'm here for any and all Ren reactions. As a 53 year old music lover my whole life, Ren has reconfigured my mind for the better and REN-EWED my heart & soul by making me really hear music for the 1st time in my life! Great reaction! 😊 what an amazing journey awaits you if continue with Ren's music.
Awwwe I love this. Art is so powerful, and I'm happy that Ren is reaching people like that... especially because it's clear (just from this one song I listened to) that that's his goal. Amazing!
Ren is the most impactful musician I've known in my lifetime, & I'm no spring chicken. I listen almost exclusively to Ren these days because he has such a broad range of talent. He does every genre, then invents new ones. I look forward to your next Ren reaction!
You can use the left arrow key to shift the video backwards when you comment. The space bar will stop and start with no break. Great reaction to Ren. You have stumbled onto one of the most unique and vibrant artists you can imagine. His community of fans are fanatical. I hope to see more of your reactions in the future.
Unfortunately I repel technology and even when I use the spacebar the video buffers. But someone else mentioned the arrow keys so I'm using those now - much easier! Thanks so much.
Hi. In my opinion, it is great to rewind a few seconds when you pause to react. it helps with getting back into the flow. Also great that you didn't bother with captions. they don't mix well with Ren at all. Not only are they confusing but they give punchlines away and in some of Ren's work this is crucial. leave the timing and punchlines to Ren, not captions. "I don't know what's happening right now" That's ok, Ren is happening🙂 Loved your reaction, by the way, it was well worth a like and subscribe from me. So, welcome to Renworld, Bardcore. This lad is one of the most interesting and engaging artists that it has been my pleasure to bump into in my 60 years. his fan base is growing and is very diverse in it's make up. all of us it seems to me are mostly helpful and supportive of each other and it has been really pleasing to interact with almost all of the ones I've encountered. Good luck with your channel. be yourself and you'll be great, don't go chasing likes.
Thank you for the considerate comment! I actually just started rewinding in other videos because I’ve been having trouble with RUclips buffering - so good suggestion, thank you. I can see why his music is creating such a close-knit and compassionate community. Thanks for the kind words. I’ll definitely keep just being me… never been one to chase likes anyway. 🤍
Great job. Something about Ren (besides having a full library of incredible songs) is that he doesn't claim copyrights on legitimate reators. If someone claims the copyright it may be a 3rd party. Be sure to contest it. Your reaction was very good. I'll be waiting for the next one.
This was another one I've not heard, and I liked your reaction to this one a lot better too! The song's very unique and probably connects deeply with a lot of people too. I often love just one person and an acoustic guitar, though this song stood out much more lyrically and visually than anything else, which I wasn't expecting. He did manage to get some interesting sounds out of that classical guitar!
I have seriously watched this video 1000 times and I have never noticed it was a Pink wheelchair. Lovely reaction to this masterpiece. Look forward to your next one, just a few to choose from!!!!
What a lovely, natural and heartfelt reaction. Welcome to the absolute rollercoaster ride that is Ren. I advise you to look into his backstory as it clarifies a great deal regarding his journey. Dive deep into his music, his collaborations, his band The Big Push, his covers but especially his own original work. He is in my humble opinion a musical genius. Strap in and enjoy the ride. 😊
For a new channel you're a natural at reactions....Really good, well done! Its nice to see reactionists show emotion when they connect with the music. A great band to check out is SleepToken. They wear masks as they want to keep their identity secret. Which adds to the mystery. Anyway New sub here!
So true! I never listened to the radio anyway, I got stuck in the oldies that I was raised on (which are still lovely). But discovering new music has been amazing. Can't wait for more!
Love your reaction! This was all live. He's the king of one takes! Shot with several cameras, and they went through it all 4 times before finding the take they wanted. Welcome to Ren!
I hope you continue in the Ren community. Subbed. You mentioned being an actor. You may be interested in the Tale of Jenny & Screech (full) [includes Violet’s Tale at the end]. Ren is acting, singing, playing the guitar - his own lyrics. If you decide to react to this, please do all 3 consecutively in one sitting. It makes a huge difference. I’ll be watching you.
Yes! This has been highly recommended so it’ll be next for my list of Ren stuff. Can’t wait! Though nobody has really mentioned that I’d be interested because he’s acting in it. Even more exciting! Thanks for being here, cheers.
Also, follow his journey. He was misdiagnosed for nearly a decade while Lyme disease ran rampant through his body. Doctors diagnosed him with ME/CFS and dosed him with psychotropic meds that he didn't need while refusing to take his pain seriously. They tried to convince him it was all in his head and treated him as an attention seeker. They denied him retesting and the hallucinations and delusions he was having only reinforced their convictions that it was all mental illness. He suffered a psychotic break due to their brushing off his needs. He was finally diagnosed properly with lyme disease and got stem cell transplants and is receiving other treatment in Canada. However, the damage the lyme disease caused to his brain and nerve sheaths may be permanent. His courage and intellect and utter motivation is amazing. Only exceeded by his love and loyalty. His talent is unmitigated and unmatched and is growing every day as he pushes his own boundaries and widens his already immense capacity. His goals to also wake the world up and open our eyes about greed and politics and the damage it does. He's succeeding. Seriously, though, watch him. He's going to wake up the world, and we can only hope it isn't too late. There's a reason he's blowing up all over the internet! ❤
It is a favorite thing of mine to watch reactors who are introduced to Ren with the song "Hi Ren". I've probably watched the faces of a couple of hundred reactors at this point. Always fun to watch them feeling the same thing I did first time I met Ren with this song. You didn't disappoint. Blessings.
Ren is therapy for so many from one song he helps so many people open up in ways therapists struggle to do in person. First time i watched Hi Ren i had a panic attack but thought i needed to watch it again so i watched someone reacting to it that was the best thing i could do i have watched many times since. One thing i think about this song is it needs to be seen by every one even in schools after a certain age, because how many children kill themselves because of the negativity towards them from nasty comments and bullying to them believing what is said. I went through hell, bullied all through school to the point i attempted suicide twice, and to many issues in my life since then I am a recovering alcoholic 11 years clean I suffer PTSD and other health issues so the majority of bad days over good is high, if this bullying had been dealt with i may have had a reasonable life not the existence i have to deal with now
Nothing wrong with you. Ren just has a way of connecting with your emotions. He shares his life and struggles. He definitely helps so many of us connect and not feel as alone. As someone that battles with the mental darkness, listening to Ren and watching others like yourself react to him, makes me feel more connected. You can watch other’s reactions and be like, “ yes, they get it too”. I am a huge Ren fan but it’s been a while since I watched a reaction to his Hi Ren video. Thank you for your reaction. You have at least one new follower now. Enjoy the ride and welcome to a whole new community. ❤
The visual is so incredible, the lighting , the Two shadows on the floor and at the end when he rises his one tall shadow. The last note also …. Like the battles not over. What a masterpiece. I’ve listened to Hi Ren endlessly, watched tons of reactions Ren is a true talent
The experience will sink in fully and maybe like the rest of us you will search for more and want others around you to join and embrace the feelings created!
I suspect @JensRandolff will be along shortly to drop his post in about Ren's history so I won't comment on that but I will point out that the vid you watched was a live 1 take (best of 4 attempts) using 3 static camaras and a hand held. Keep that in mind when you watch Ren's content as he likes to produce stuff that way. Also Ren produces/plays/writes everything. The two major influences on Ren are his illness issues and the suicide of his friend Joe when Ren was 21ish. Finally do ensure you do the complete Jenny/Screech/Violet Tale which is approx one 15min vid
Wow! That’s insane. As an actor/director I know how tough a one take shot can be, so this is actually incredible. I love that he writes & produces everything! Definition of a true artist, in all forms.
Awesome Reaction! During the guitar intro I felt as if two different people were playing! The lights flickering when bad Ren was singing... and then the final part where they were BOTH playing and singing and the lights were flickering. So much going on in there!
Koality, such an authentic, real reaction....and luv how you try to give credit to the original creator....new subscriber here....thank you for reacting to this artists true genius! they only made ONE of REN... "some people know me as hope!" 11
Reaction videos to Hi Ren is my favorite subject to watch. As someone that has struggled with emotional chaos, it's kinda therapeutic to see the expression as others go on the rollercoaster.
I’m so glad I ran across your channel in watching REN’s ART! I think we all felt exactly how you did the first time we heard this!! Rent is a genius, an artist, a performer, a musician, and as you come to find out one of the most humble and big hearted people on the planet!! he’s truly a once, in a generation, musical, lyrical artist. He plays every genre of music at the masters level. He plays every instrument at the masters level. He sings, he raps he produces he reaches on beats. You can see how good he is at the performing arts…. His music has lyrics. They’re all substance, and he is all about affecting the world in a positive way.! I’ve listen to most of his catalog hello stuff seems to come out of the woodwork deeper I go, and I have not heard one song that wasn’t a piece of art like good like really good!! I’m sure people have suggested the next songs for you to watch such as chalk outline’s, the Tale of Jenny and screech, but I’d like to recommend you watch one of my personal favorites, and I have a hunch you’ll love it as well, … a masterpiece call “Dominos”. 🔥🔥 I really really enjoyed watching you react as you’ve got such a fantastic personality and the Looks and the intelligence all put together ! I can see why you’d be a fantastic actress! Looking forward to more! 💯‼️🔥🔥
Great reaction :) Regarding pausing - yes always rewind a little. It's not annoying. It help get back into the flow and if a thing is annoying when people don't rewind and just resume halfway through a line Also I think it's great that you didnt pause a lot. I get the temptation to have to pause to say something and sometimes that's appropriate. But for media like this it's nice to watch someone go through the journey uninterrupted and just experience it rather than keep stopping and starting every line
Ren has a great back catalogue he also played with a band big push there song bongo bong is one of my favourites I have followed Ren for years he is my favourite artist ever, thank you for reacting to this masterpiece ❤❤❤❤
Welcome to the world of Ren! I've probably watched his video 100 times, and every reaction video out there. It IS an emotional rollercoaster. Now fall down his rabbit hole.
Subbed based on this reaction - Ren is the most exciting artist I have seen in years and worth going down the rabbit hole especially as you'll discover a lot of other amazing artists he collaborates with
This is art of transcendent beauty and an *important* song. Artists often struggle with imposter syndrome. There’s a movie starring Olivia Munn called “Violet” that rings of this and was a transformative experience for me… just as this song also resonates. As a person who’s never been able to escape imposter syndrome and negative self-talk, *realizing* that I can exert the strength that destructive voice questions-strength that I *know* I have-was sooo important. It takes time to push past the negativity-to make your own voice stronger, but if anyone out there is struggling with this, please please please *know* that you can do it. *Know* that I believe in you… but you don’t need me to-just like you don’t need the shroud of doubt that feels first of protection and then as a prison. You are *stronger* than that voice. You are stronger than you can *possibly* know… until you push back with softness or aggression-your choice.
What a fantastic reaction, seeing the power and emotion hitting you reflects exactly how I first reacted to this song. I also sat there saying "I don't know what's happening" as tears streamed down my face.
Man I love art. I love how it affects everyone differently and can bring a bunch of strangers together. It's so powerful. I'm glad we felt the same way. Cheers!
Welcome to the reactions community. Last few weeks I have listened to a lot of Hi Ren reactions. Probably to refeel those emotions that surprised you and me. I think I've figured out another deep thing the Hi Ren did for me. He went all the way from struggle to triumph. Dealing with my MH issues I seemed to have a part figured here and there. And because I've been at those places that he traveled thru in one song I get to see my life struggles resolved in one song. Yay
Great reaction! Can't wait for more Ren content, you for sure got a new subscriber. I think skipping back 5 or ten seconds when starting back up the video is a good idea, it makes it a better listening experience for the viewer as well as it lets you get back into the flow before the "new stuff" happens. And if you want a keyboard shortcut for skipping back and forth just use the arrow keys, they let you skip in 5 second increments (also you can pause by just hitting spacebar; also also if you know all this stuff and just want to do it manually that's completely fine, not complaining here).
Yeah, I’ve been using the arrow keys to go back now! I was always using the spacebar but I found it buffered less if I clicked on it instead of using the spacebar. (Weird I know.) Now I just let it buffer because technology is technology. 🤷🏻♀️😂 Thanks so much!! 🤍
I think we all appreciate a short rewind... it always helps get back into the flow and the rhythm. As for what was happening? You were having an honest emotional reaction to a brilliant piece of art. I know, a rare thing these days, isn't it?
❤ my favorite line is the same one that you loved too! I have found that even all these months later from when I first experienced Hi Ren I can feel it all over again when I watch a new reaction from someone like you who also feel his words 🥰 thank you!
Ren has blown my mind. Watching his reactions for months. Best artist I’ve seen in years. A great way to start your channel would be to go down the rabbit hole. He can sing, rap, play several instruments, reggae, it’s unreal. Next should be Chalk Outlines.
Its crazy your second rection ever was this song. This song is so huge and you found it he speaks what others wont say and he did so this song is Iconic and will stand in History and you reacted to it so awesome.
Liked and subscribed. You’re in for a treat. Since I came across Ren several months ago (also seeing this video as my introduction), I’ve been floored. His discography hasn’t produced a single song that I haven’t not only liked, but thoroughly enjoyed.
Love your reaction. Honest and open….I think a lot of us enjoy watching the first time because we remember our first time with something that affects most of us, right to our soul. He’s an amazing artist and as original as they come. What a gift❤️
Great reaction, welcome to the biggest rabbit hole of music you'll ever have the pleasure to journey down. You mentioned really liking the lines like... "maybe I'll be remembered, for doing something special with myself" and "When I am gone, I will rise in the music I leave behind". I'm sure by now you know a little bit about his past health issues, being misdiagnosed with chronic pain due to psychosis, and after 7-8yrs finding out it was actually Lyme Disease. For a few of those years, he was in bed for 23hrs a day, and just standing in the shower caused agonizing pain. He honestly thought that he would never in a million years make it to the age of 30. So while he found treatment and is doing much better, he was still not out of the woods completely when he wrote this song, and those lines stem from his belief at one time he would not be on this earth much longer, and that fact still is what drives him, every moment that his health is not getting in his way, to make the most of every minute. I'm sure you are getting bombarded with songs/videos you "must do first" or "have to see to understand Ren"...lol. The Ren-aissance fans are very passionate and loyal, to a fault, but don't feel too pressured or overwhelmed, no matter what order or which genre's you choose to follow, you will not be disappointed, Other than doing any trilogy songs like Jenny n Screech in chronological order for story cohesion, whatever songs peek your interest, go for it, and he has a HUGE catalog for a 33yr old, who was bed ridden for 4-5yrs in his 20s!! Cheers!! ✌️💚
@@KoalityReactions Ooh in that case.. I’d recommend ‘Crutch’ ft. Bibi.. and ‘Ready for You’. Crutch is from when he was in the depths of his physical and mental illness. He was underweight, and spent 23 hours a day in bed. Bibi was his girlfriend at the time. Ready for You is a fight song. About not giving up in the face of mental illness. Incredibly empowering.
“I don’t know what is happening right now?” Your beauty is revealed in your honesty. On my first take of the song, I realized over the course of so many minutes my mask of persona had been lifted off. That mask we all wear, that thin veneer that allows one to hide their insecurities, their doubts, vulnerabilities and fears. When REN says, “I must not forget, we must not forget, that we are human beings”. It’s here you realize, you are sitting naked, nothing to hide the beautiful human being you are. Unsure if you should run and hide, cover yourself with the mask of your creation or just sit there and let the world see you, the real you. In the naked raw emotion, you can feel the first liberating breath you have been able to take in a long time. Your reaction screams, “I’ll take the breath!” Thank you for not running to hide and sharing the courage to face and accept the raw vulnerability of the moment, acknowledging the beauty in simply being human and allowing yourself to be seen. Thank you for being a human being.
I just watched after now than a week after your video so you may already know, but this is even more impactful when you read about his medical history, signing by Sony Records and then losing his contact as a result of his illness. Plus, stuff further into how he's called out other artists (musicians, videographers, photographers...) to shine a light on their talents. He has a prominent "rising tides raises all ships", support other independent artists humbleness and solidarity about him that's really warming. @renmakesmusic I truly appreciate your vulnerability while watching. Thoroughly enjoyed the reaction. And if the many dozens of reactions I've watched, i lived you had the lyrics in standby. Must don't.
I love Ren for sharing his gift with us, inspiring an motivate us. Listened to his whole catalogue which shows so much versatility. Lately searched gor new artists and discovered the austrian rap scene for myself. For everyone that enjoyed Hi Ren i definitly recommend to give COMPLETE - Jordan, a chance. It got created 5 years earlier but both tracks share alot of wisdom and the peformance of both is outstanding.
Ren is so dope. This video is so impactful, but his bag is deep.. for someone just starting, you've got a ton of material to roll with and a huge community of people INTO it! Liked the reaction, keep em coming..
Welcome to the Ren rabbit warren! You definitely got it, enjoy your trip of discovery! Im here for it if you chose to share your trip of discovery . I think you are going to have fun!🇨🇦 I subscribed.
Young lady, watching YOU watch REN was an absolute pleasure! I've watched the original (official) version and so many reactions that I've lost count. I really liked this reaction. You were transfixed (as most are their first or 20th time). Your commentary was insightful, sincere, and genuine. You're seemingly wiser than your years should allow. I like that. I don't normally subscribe based on one reaction, but I subscribed gave a like. Side not, I see that you are very new to doing reactions. As an avid reaction watcher, I would offer two pieces of 'advice.' #1) MOST folks appreciate commentary during a song/video. It's not 'mandatory,' but it IS a reaction video! So, when you pause and comment, PLEASE rewind 5 seconds or so. That way we (you AND us) can get back into the 'groove.' #2) I can't tell because of your hair, but you REALLY need to do music reactions with good quality ear or headphones. I prefer over the ear headphones, but you do what's comfortable... but my advice is to use GOOD quality sound equipment. Lastly, I LOVE the name... "koality" rather than the standard 'quality.' I also LOVE the title of Professional Shower Singer!! Too clever! Best of luck as you go forward. I'll be watching!! 🙂
Good morning again. I am a few days late to this reaction, but you have really picked some cool rabbit holes to go down. Ren is one of the most unique artists you will find and one of the best story tellers. His videos and songs offer a vast variety of styles and genres, but they are all brilliant and enjoyable. He can go to some pretty dark and emotional places, or just take you out for a fun ride. For pausing, if you are not doing so, use the Space Bar to pause, and use the back arrow to automatically go back 10 seconds. This is the most common way for reactors to do it, since it preserves the flow of the song and it ensures you are not missing a key moment or lyric.
I love that so many reactors have the same emotions. And you did a great job! This one speaks so much, it's nice that you didn't pauae on every line like some do. Good job! I'm a new fan of your channel
What a beautiful reaction!!! I have been watching hundreds by now (literally), but yours stood out in the way one could read all the emotions on your face that I feel every single time when watching it. Subscribed!
Great reaction! I think you're really going to enjoy exploring all Ren has to offer as an artist. And I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions to him and to other artists as well!
Loved this reaction and song. Ren is amazing...Just a little tip that you can hit the back arrow on your keyboard and go back 5 seconds each click. Thanks for the great reaction :)
Video was one take (out of 4 done). Music was done live (sweetened in post, of course) as well. This guy has an amazing musical and emotional range - from hiphop to folk/busking to blues. One of the most creative artists to come along in decades. If you want to see a counterpoint to this 'raw' piece, but also with the emotional content, take a reaction to his song "Su!cide"...... illustrates not only his songwriting/performance, but his engineering/production skills. Also the video makes use of cutting edge AI art.... bring a box of tissues on set if you react.
This is just the beginning of an odd yet wonderful trip into the unique talent of Ren. There are so many facets of his talents. Freakishly unique talent never before seen. Keep listening. Explore. Let us know what you think. Well done ! There is nothing he cant do. Don't miss anything!❤
If you can think and speak normally after watching Hi Ren for the first time, there's something wrong with you. I think you're also going to love Ren's duets with Chinchilla (another great artist you may not have heard of): 'Chalk Outlines' and 'How To Be Me' (watch the 'live' versions), and as someone else already told you, the Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full Version!) is another 'experience'.
Hahaha well I never claimed there wasn’t something wrong with me! ;) Maybe that’s why I connect with Ren’s music so much?! Hah Thanks for the recs! Never heard of Chinchilla (but I love the animal so very excited to listen). On the list!
Great reaction! I love watching people discover Ren for the first time. I've never seen anybody like him in my 60 years. And definitely check out and react to the tale of Jenny and Screech (full version). Everything about that trilogy is phenomenal, his guitar playing, his songwriting, his acting and the videography. Be ready for another emotional rollercoaster.
We know the experience.❤ Lovely reaction. Thank you fir your insights. Ren speaks for many who have been silenced by illness and isolation . He makes himsrlf vulnerable and is so authentic.
Great! We’ll buckle up join you on the journey with Ren, Chinchilla, The Big Push, Sam Tompkins and the warren of special rabbit holes that lead from Ren. Sub from the UK 👍🇬🇧x
@@KoalityReactionsThe Big Push is a Band Ren was with till December 22. Sam Tompkins is a UK vocalist with a special voice Ren used to ‘busk’ with (research UK busking scene lol). The world of Ren and associates is your oyster 👍🇬🇧❤️
I know that this is a second comment but I forgot to mention this before.... 1:42 "wtf is this weird shit they got me watching".... 11:42 "This is my mf'in JAM!!!!" lmao
Subbed. Who can resist watching someone new falling into the Ren rabbit hole and have their mind evaporate.
Haha Sometimes rabbit holes are annoying, but I'm legit excited for this one.
im jealous your only just starting it..enjoy
@@cosmiczosoexactly. You only get to discover Ren once, and it's so great watching someone just get into him for the first time. Reliving all the emotions through someone else's eyes is so cool.
@@KoalityReactions It'll change your life.
Exactly. This song is what got me into watching reactions for real. I just got a good feeling watching others hear this for the first time
Great reaction! Now RUN, don't walk, to do The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)... More guitar, more story--it's gonna blow your mind.
Oh my god, can’t wait! Thank you!!
The Jenny and schreech trilogy is amazing!
Getting the lyrics is generally good with Ren's content as his words can be hard to follow at times and the captions are laughably wrong. But..... In the case of the Jenny/Screech tales go in blind or at least don't read ahead... this is really important!!!
For God’s sake make sure you watch them in the right order:
Jenny’s tale
Screeche’s tale
Violets tale.
You also need to do them as one single video.
@@SeanWorlockNoted - I won’t read lyrics ahead of time!!
He's not a singer songwriter. He's a bard in the most real sense of the word. He performs the story as much as he sings it.
That was a genuine reaction. That moment when you see her eyes reflect the emotional tsunami can not be faked. Welcome to the RENvolution❤
Yeah, it got me. Right in the heart. Cheers!
13:52 "it's more of an emotional roller coaster than I thought it was gonna be."
Oh, we've all been there sister, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. 😉♥
Hahaha Glad I'm not alone. Excited for more!
Welcome to the Renagades. You are one of us now. Subbed 😊
If you really want to get to know Ren more you have to listen to 'Sick Boy' and 'Power'. Very personal lyrics.
For the story telling - 'Jenny and Screech' trilogy. The last part 'Violet's tale' is on another level. Masterpiece x
Yessss, Jenny and Screech and Violet's Tale have been recommended! Very excited. Will def listen to the others as well.
@@KoalityReactions If I may I would suggest doing "The Tail of Jenny and Screech - FULL" in encompasses all three short stories into a trilogy. Ren put them all into a single video so you don't get them in the incorrect order.
@@DanBeaird Yes! This was highly recommended so definitely doing it in the next batch. Can’t wait!
This is the way.
After Jenny & Screech, take a look at Sick Boi which looks at his struggle from a different angle - then either segue into some of the more fun rap stuff such as Power, Losing It out The Hunger, or the two super soulful duets with Chinchilla.
I go around watching countless reaction videos to Ren's content. I just love watching people's faces and seeing how they are affected by the twists and turns of the song and what emotions it brings up from them. From that standpoint, this was enjoyable to watch since your in-the-moment reactions were expressive and you did get emotional watching this. I recommend reacting to the song called Su!cIde by Ren next
Thank you, that’s a lovely compliment! Can’t wait to watch more of Ren’s stuff. So glad I found his music!
Man, maybe something a bit lighter first?
@@dannymartin208 Yeah the title of the song already suggests a bit of a dark journey for sure. Hah 😬😅
@@KoalityReactions for sure. As big of a Ren fan as I am,I can’t listen to it, once was enough. I get enough feels from his other stuff, don’t need to be bawling all day
@@KoalityReactions On the other hand, both myself and my daughter found Suicide to be uplifting. Its all in the listener.
Ren x Chinchilla 'Chalk Outlines' and 'How to be me' are great. To be fair there isn't much Ren does that won't leave you admiring his talent.
So I've heard! Haha I've made notes for those songs too, from other recommendations so they must be good. Can't wait, thanks!
@@KoalityReactionsmake sure it’s the live versions of both.
Possibly your new favourite artist but beware, he can make you cry sometimes.
Hahaha I cry at maaaany art forms, so I don’t doubt this at all.
Ren is the most original artist at the moment I think. He is absolutely amazing! ❤❤❤
So original! I love that.
This is just so dark but relatable to! I can relate to this because I’ve had Fibromyalgia for nearly 20 years now but only got a firm diagnosis 3 years ago! Anxiety and depression was terrible but I eventually realised that although my thoughts told me I was dying I wasn’t, after all the time I was like it I was still alive and kicking! During this long time I was given strong painkillers which didn’t work! It got to the point where the only place to go for pain relief was Fentanyl! I was lucky to realise that regardless of how strong they were they wouldn’t work so I went to my Doctor and told him I wanted to get off painkillers! He agreed with me and told me that he would help and also insist that the Pain clinic got me a formal diagnosis. It took me nearly 2 years to get off the painkillers, and get my formal diagnosis, now I can live with minimal medication and very little problems with anxiety and depression.
Life goes on……
Nice reaction and comments, one of the best interpretations I’ve seen, you really got it how it was 🌹🌹🌹
Awe thank you Darrell! I definitely feel like this message is super relatable. I’m so sorry you had to deal with undiagnosed pain for so long, and the complications that come with that. 🤍 But I’m glad they finally got the right diagnosis and were able to help you.
Just so’s you know, I hate it when people DON’T rewind after a stop - you need to hear it all! Great reaction - I hope Ren sees it.
Haha Good to know! Learning new things on this journey every day. Appreciate it!
JKL - keyboard shortcuts. K stop and play. J 10 sec back, L 10 sec forward.@@KoalityReactions
10 sec back is great!
@@gzignl space bar and arrow keys work the same.
New sub here, I'm here for any and all Ren reactions. As a 53 year old music lover my whole life, Ren has reconfigured my mind for the better and REN-EWED my heart & soul by making me really hear music for the 1st time in my life! Great reaction! 😊 what an amazing journey awaits you if continue with Ren's music.
Awwwe I love this. Art is so powerful, and I'm happy that Ren is reaching people like that... especially because it's clear (just from this one song I listened to) that that's his goal. Amazing!
Ren is the most impactful musician I've known in my lifetime, & I'm no spring chicken. I listen almost exclusively to Ren these days because he has such a broad range of talent. He does every genre, then invents new ones. I look forward to your next Ren reaction!
Yeah, I can't wait to see what else he has to offer. I hear it'll be quite the ride. Cheers!
You can use the left arrow key to shift the video backwards when you comment. The space bar will stop and start with no break. Great reaction to Ren. You have stumbled onto one of the most unique and vibrant artists you can imagine. His community of fans are fanatical. I hope to see more of your reactions in the future.
Unfortunately I repel technology and even when I use the spacebar the video buffers. But someone else mentioned the arrow keys so I'm using those now - much easier! Thanks so much.
Hi. In my opinion, it is great to rewind a few seconds when you pause to react. it helps with getting back into the flow. Also great that you didn't bother with captions. they don't mix well with Ren at all. Not only are they confusing but they give punchlines away and in some of Ren's work this is crucial. leave the timing and punchlines to Ren, not captions.
"I don't know what's happening right now" That's ok, Ren is happening🙂
Loved your reaction, by the way, it was well worth a like and subscribe from me. So, welcome to Renworld, Bardcore. This lad is one of the most interesting and engaging artists that it has been my pleasure to bump into in my 60 years. his fan base is growing and is very diverse in it's make up. all of us it seems to me are mostly helpful and supportive of each other and it has been really pleasing to interact with almost all of the ones I've encountered.
Good luck with your channel. be yourself and you'll be great, don't go chasing likes.
Thank you for the considerate comment! I actually just started rewinding in other videos because I’ve been having trouble with RUclips buffering - so good suggestion, thank you. I can see why his music is creating such a close-knit and compassionate community.
Thanks for the kind words. I’ll definitely keep just being me… never been one to chase likes anyway. 🤍
@@KoalityReactions Pro tip (from not a pro) Press j to rewind 10 seconds or press the left arrow to rewind five seconds.
@@timwilson1339 Whaaaat! Mind blown. Definitely will try this. 😂 Thank you!
Glad you got to hear this. This helped many people through tough times because of the impactful statement this song makes
Totally understand why. Loved the message. 🤍
Welcome to the world of Ren enjoy the rabbit hole 🐰 🕳️ . Love your reaction 🫶
Thank you! Very excited to fall down the rabbit hole. 👀
@@KoalityReactions I’ve subbed and I’m sure you will have lots of RENegades subbing soon. Ren likes to quote “A rising tide lifts all boats”⛵️🫶
Great job. Something about Ren (besides having a full library of incredible songs) is that he doesn't claim copyrights on legitimate reators. If someone claims the copyright it may be a 3rd party. Be sure to contest it.
Your reaction was very good. I'll be waiting for the next one.
Someone else just gave this tip - that's SO kind. Thank you!!
Hi Jenna, Ren is a true master of all his talents, can't wait for you to do more of his content!
welcome to the looking glass alice. this song made me cry my eyes out the first time i heard it. i still emotional every single time
It's such a relatable song, on so many levels. Love this.
This was another one I've not heard, and I liked your reaction to this one a lot better too! The song's very unique and probably connects deeply with a lot of people too. I often love just one person and an acoustic guitar, though this song stood out much more lyrically and visually than anything else, which I wasn't expecting. He did manage to get some interesting sounds out of that classical guitar!
Same! It was a very simple but impactful video. Loved the concept.
I have seriously watched this video 1000 times and I have never noticed it was a Pink wheelchair. Lovely reaction to this masterpiece. Look forward to your next one, just a few to choose from!!!!
Haha it’s like a pink and purple tye dye chair, almost! Very unique. Love that you’ve never noticed before! Thanks for being here.
What a lovely, natural and heartfelt reaction. Welcome to the absolute rollercoaster ride that is Ren. I advise you to look into his backstory as it clarifies a great deal regarding his journey. Dive deep into his music, his collaborations, his band The Big Push, his covers but especially his own original work. He is in my humble opinion a musical genius. Strap in and enjoy the ride. 😊
I can already tell I'm going to enjoy this ride! Can't wait.
Rewinding after pauses is absolutely the preferred method so you don't miss things, Koality.
Perf!
Great reaction and welcome to Ren, he is special.
Agreed, and thanks!
For a new channel you're a natural at reactions....Really good, well done! Its nice to see reactionists show emotion when they connect with the music.
A great band to check out is SleepToken. They wear masks as they want to keep their identity secret. Which adds to the mystery.
Anyway New sub here!
Awe thank you, that’s so kind! Also - I literally just added a Sleep Token to my list last night. Great minds!! Can’t wait.
I loved this reaction! You were effected by Ren and I was effected by YOU! So lovely! ❤️❤️
Awww thanks, that’s so sweet. ☺️☺️🤍
When we leave corporate radio behind and go searching for new artists and music. What wonderful jewels there is to find. Keep going and enjoy.
So true! I never listened to the radio anyway, I got stuck in the oldies that I was raised on (which are still lovely). But discovering new music has been amazing. Can't wait for more!
Great reactions, observations and comments! It's hard NOT going on especially with a 9 min Ren song.
Thank you doing this song justice, Jen!
Wow thank you, that’s so nice!! 🤍
Love your reaction! This was all live. He's the king of one takes! Shot with several cameras, and they went through it all 4 times before finding the take they wanted. Welcome to Ren!
Ren effects us all like that. Subscribed!
Right??!! Ugh. So good.
I hope you continue in the Ren community. Subbed. You mentioned being an actor. You may be interested in the Tale of Jenny & Screech (full) [includes Violet’s Tale at the end]. Ren is acting, singing, playing the guitar - his own lyrics. If you decide to react to this, please do all 3 consecutively in one sitting. It makes a huge difference. I’ll be watching you.
Yes! This has been highly recommended so it’ll be next for my list of Ren stuff. Can’t wait! Though nobody has really mentioned that I’d be interested because he’s acting in it. Even more exciting! Thanks for being here, cheers.
You have an amazing journey ahead of you! Ren is so full of talent he glows!
Welcome to the Reniverse 😊
Renegades welcome you❤
Also, follow his journey. He was misdiagnosed for nearly a decade while Lyme disease ran rampant through his body. Doctors diagnosed him with ME/CFS and dosed him with psychotropic meds that he didn't need while refusing to take his pain seriously. They tried to convince him it was all in his head and treated him as an attention seeker. They denied him retesting and the hallucinations and delusions he was having only reinforced their convictions that it was all mental illness. He suffered a psychotic break due to their brushing off his needs. He was finally diagnosed properly with lyme disease and got stem cell transplants and is receiving other treatment in Canada. However, the damage the lyme disease caused to his brain and nerve sheaths may be permanent.
His courage and intellect and utter motivation is amazing. Only exceeded by his love and loyalty. His talent is unmitigated and unmatched and is growing every day as he pushes his own boundaries and widens his already immense capacity.
His goals to also wake the world up and open our eyes about greed and politics and the damage it does. He's succeeding.
Seriously, though, watch him. He's going to wake up the world, and we can only hope it isn't too late.
There's a reason he's blowing up all over the internet! ❤
Agreed - it's magnetic! Thank you.
Welcome to the world of Ren. He will make you emotional. If he isn't making you cry he will make you laugh
Ren is addicting so Lock yourself in and Enjoy the Ride.
Haha Thanks!!
It is a favorite thing of mine to watch reactors who are introduced to Ren with the song "Hi Ren". I've probably watched the faces of a couple of hundred reactors at this point. Always fun to watch them feeling the same thing I did first time I met Ren with this song. You didn't disappoint. Blessings.
This was a great reaction, love the emotion. As a fellow lifelong musician you and Ren both articulated everything perfectly. The struggle is real! 🙌🙌
Ren is therapy for so many from one song he helps so many people open up in ways therapists struggle to do in person.
First time i watched Hi Ren i had a panic attack but thought i needed to watch it again so i watched someone reacting to it
that was the best thing i could do i have watched many times since. One thing i think about this song is it needs to be seen
by every one even in schools after a certain age, because how many children kill themselves because of the negativity
towards them from nasty comments and bullying to them believing what is said. I went through hell, bullied all through
school to the point i attempted suicide twice, and to many issues in my life since then I am a recovering alcoholic 11 years
clean I suffer PTSD and other health issues so the majority of bad days over good is high, if this bullying had been dealt
with i may have had a reasonable life not the existence i have to deal with now
Thank you for reacting to Ren, blessings from Puerto Rico.
Thanks for being here! Blessings to you too!
When he hit me was when he said he was Hope and the voice when you hear the voice when you loosen the noose of the rope.
Nothing wrong with you. Ren just has a way of connecting with your emotions. He shares his life and struggles. He definitely helps so many of us connect and not feel as alone. As someone that battles with the mental darkness, listening to Ren and watching others like yourself react to him, makes me feel more connected. You can watch other’s reactions and be like, “ yes, they get it too”. I am a huge Ren fan but it’s been a while since I watched a reaction to his Hi Ren video. Thank you for your reaction. You have at least one new follower now. Enjoy the ride and welcome to a whole new community. ❤
The visual is so incredible, the lighting , the Two shadows on the floor and at the end when he rises his one tall shadow. The last note also …. Like the battles not over.
What a masterpiece. I’ve listened to Hi Ren endlessly, watched tons of reactions Ren is a true talent
The experience will sink in fully and maybe like the rest of us you will search for more and want others around you to join and embrace the feelings created!
I suspect @JensRandolff will be along shortly to drop his post in about Ren's history so I won't comment on that but I will point out that the vid you watched was a live 1 take (best of 4 attempts) using 3 static camaras and a hand held. Keep that in mind when you watch Ren's content as he likes to produce stuff that way. Also Ren produces/plays/writes everything. The two major influences on Ren are his illness issues and the suicide of his friend Joe when Ren was 21ish. Finally do ensure you do the complete Jenny/Screech/Violet Tale which is approx one 15min vid
Wow! That’s insane. As an actor/director I know how tough a one take shot can be, so this is actually incredible. I love that he writes & produces everything! Definition of a true artist, in all forms.
Lol. Here I am, my friend. Sorry for being late; this reaction was hidden from my search results earlier-stupid YT algorithm.
I'm sure he will be - I'd be disappointed if he didn't.
@@IfItAintWoke-DontFixIt 😂😂 you’ll get him on the next one!
@@IfItAintWoke-DontFixIt if you ever do beat him, you’ll probably be sad anyway. Because the chase will be over. 😂
Thank you 😁😁🤗🤗 No matter how many times I watch this, it affects me the same way.
I believe you! I'm still thinking about it! Hah
😆
💙💎🕊️
Awesome Reaction! During the guitar intro I felt as if two different people were playing! The lights flickering when bad Ren was singing... and then the final part where they were BOTH playing and singing and the lights were flickering. So much going on in there!
Koality, such an authentic, real reaction....and luv how you try to give credit to the original creator....new subscriber here....thank you for reacting to this artists true genius! they only made ONE of REN... "some people know me as hope!"

And this reaction is why we watch. I, we, were all in awe of this, still
Reaction videos to Hi Ren is my favorite subject to watch. As someone that has struggled with emotional chaos, it's kinda therapeutic to see the expression as others go on the rollercoaster.
I’m so glad I ran across your channel in watching REN’s ART! I think we all felt exactly how you did the first time we heard this!! Rent is a genius, an artist, a performer, a musician, and as you come to find out one of the most humble and big hearted people on the planet!! he’s truly a once, in a generation, musical, lyrical artist. He plays every genre of music at the masters level. He plays every instrument at the masters level. He sings, he raps he produces he reaches on beats. You can see how good he is at the performing arts…. His music has lyrics. They’re all substance, and he is all about affecting the world in a positive way.! I’ve listen to most of his catalog hello stuff seems to come out of the woodwork deeper I go, and I have not heard one song that wasn’t a piece of art like good like really good!! I’m sure people have suggested the next songs for you to watch such as chalk outline’s, the Tale of Jenny and screech, but I’d like to recommend you watch one of my personal favorites, and I have a hunch you’ll love it as well, … a masterpiece call “Dominos”. 🔥🔥
I really really enjoyed watching you react as you’ve got such a fantastic personality and the Looks and the intelligence all put together ! I can see why you’d be a fantastic actress! Looking forward to more! 💯‼️🔥🔥
Great reaction :)
Regarding pausing - yes always rewind a little. It's not annoying. It help get back into the flow and if a thing is annoying when people don't rewind and just resume halfway through a line
Also I think it's great that you didnt pause a lot. I get the temptation to have to pause to say something and sometimes that's appropriate. But for media like this it's nice to watch someone go through the journey uninterrupted and just experience it rather than keep stopping and starting every line
Ren has a great back catalogue he also played with a band big push there song bongo bong is one of my favourites I have followed Ren for years he is my favourite artist ever, thank you for reacting to this masterpiece ❤❤❤❤
Welcome to the world of Ren! I've probably watched his video 100 times, and every reaction video out there. It IS an emotional rollercoaster. Now fall down his rabbit hole.
Such an emotional rollercoaster! Can't wait to keep riding. Thanks!
Oh you are such a vibe. I'm so thrilled you're on this journey along with us now 💙
Hah! Oh my gosh, thank you! Very excited to be here with you all. Can't wait for more.
Subbed based on this reaction - Ren is the most exciting artist I have seen in years and worth going down the rabbit hole especially as you'll discover a lot of other amazing artists he collaborates with
This is art of transcendent beauty and an *important* song. Artists often struggle with imposter syndrome.
There’s a movie starring Olivia Munn called “Violet” that rings of this and was a transformative experience for me… just as this song also resonates.
As a person who’s never been able to escape imposter syndrome and negative self-talk, *realizing* that I can exert the strength that destructive voice questions-strength that I *know* I have-was sooo important.
It takes time to push past the negativity-to make your own voice stronger, but if anyone out there is struggling with this, please please please *know* that you can do it.
*Know* that I believe in you… but you don’t need me to-just like you don’t need the shroud of doubt that feels first of protection and then as a prison.
You are *stronger* than that voice.
You are stronger than you can *possibly* know…
until you push back with softness or aggression-your choice.
Great reaction! Ren is an amazing artist! Go down his rabbit hole. You won't be disappointed. Welcome to the community!
Definitely will, thanks!!
What a fantastic reaction, seeing the power and emotion hitting you reflects exactly how I first reacted to this song. I also sat there saying "I don't know what's happening" as tears streamed down my face.
Man I love art. I love how it affects everyone differently and can bring a bunch of strangers together. It's so powerful. I'm glad we felt the same way. Cheers!
Welcome to the reactions community. Last few weeks I have listened to a lot of Hi Ren reactions. Probably to refeel those emotions that surprised you and me. I think I've figured out another deep thing the Hi Ren did for me. He went all the way from struggle to triumph. Dealing with my MH issues I seemed to have a part figured here and there. And because I've been at those places that he traveled thru in one song I get to see my life struggles resolved in one song. Yay
Yeah, it's describing the struggle and then finding the hope at the end that got me. Loved it.
Great reaction! Can't wait for more Ren content, you for sure got a new subscriber. I think skipping back 5 or ten seconds when starting back up the video is a good idea, it makes it a better listening experience for the viewer as well as it lets you get back into the flow before the "new stuff" happens. And if you want a keyboard shortcut for skipping back and forth just use the arrow keys, they let you skip in 5 second increments (also you can pause by just hitting spacebar; also also if you know all this stuff and just want to do it manually that's completely fine, not complaining here).
Yeah, I’ve been using the arrow keys to go back now! I was always using the spacebar but I found it buffered less if I clicked on it instead of using the spacebar. (Weird I know.) Now I just let it buffer because technology is technology. 🤷🏻♀️😂 Thanks so much!! 🤍
By the way, now is time to do the trilogy. The Jenny's and Screetch's Tale, all at once. There's a complete video where you can find the three videos
I will - thank you!!
I think we all appreciate a short rewind... it always helps get back into the flow and the rhythm.
As for what was happening? You were having an honest emotional reaction to a brilliant piece of art. I know, a rare thing these days, isn't it?
❤ my favorite line is the same one that you loved too! I have found that even all these months later from when I first experienced Hi Ren I can feel it all over again when I watch a new reaction from someone like you who also feel his words 🥰 thank you!
Totally. It's just one of those lines that stays with you. I love when art can impact you this much! The best.
Ren has blown my mind. Watching his reactions for months. Best artist I’ve seen in years. A great way to start your channel would be to go down the rabbit hole. He can sing, rap, play several instruments, reggae, it’s unreal. Next should be Chalk Outlines.
Its crazy your second rection ever was this song. This song is so huge and you found it he speaks what others wont say and he did so this song is Iconic and will stand in History and you reacted to it so awesome.
Subbed. Ren is going to blow your mind. Then you'll find Chinchilla. You're in for quite a ride.
So I've heard! Can't wait. Thanks!
Great reaction 👍 (keyboard shortcuts for RUclips; spacebar = pause and left-arrow-key = rewind 5 seconds...elevates you to reactor Jedi level 😁)
Liked and subscribed. You’re in for a treat. Since I came across Ren several months ago (also seeing this video as my introduction), I’ve been floored. His discography hasn’t produced a single song that I haven’t not only liked, but thoroughly enjoyed.
I believe it! I think I might feel the same way. Can't wait to hear more.
Love your reaction. Honest and open….I think a lot of us enjoy watching the first time because we remember our first time with something that affects most of us, right to our soul. He’s an amazing artist and as original as they come. What a gift❤️
Great reaction, welcome to the biggest rabbit hole of music you'll ever have the pleasure to journey down.
You mentioned really liking the lines like... "maybe I'll be remembered, for doing something special with myself" and "When I am gone, I will rise in the music I leave behind". I'm sure by now you know a little bit about his past health issues, being misdiagnosed with chronic pain due to psychosis, and after 7-8yrs finding out it was actually Lyme Disease. For a few of those years, he was in bed for 23hrs a day, and just standing in the shower caused agonizing pain. He honestly thought that he would never in a million years make it to the age of 30. So while he found treatment and is doing much better, he was still not out of the woods completely when he wrote this song, and those lines stem from his belief at one time he would not be on this earth much longer, and that fact still is what drives him, every moment that his health is not getting in his way, to make the most of every minute.
I'm sure you are getting bombarded with songs/videos you "must do first" or "have to see to understand Ren"...lol. The Ren-aissance fans are very passionate and loyal, to a fault, but don't feel too pressured or overwhelmed, no matter what order or which genre's you choose to follow, you will not be disappointed, Other than doing any trilogy songs like Jenny n Screech in chronological order for story cohesion, whatever songs peek your interest, go for it, and he has a HUGE catalog for a 33yr old, who was bed ridden for 4-5yrs in his 20s!! Cheers!! ✌️💚
Here for your Ren journey! I’m sure you’ve already gotten a tonne of suggestions.. so I won’t pile on.
Big love from Australia. ❤
Mostly The Tale of Jenny and Screech. If you have favs, I'd love to hear! Thanks for being here. Love from Canada!
@@KoalityReactions Ooh in that case.. I’d recommend ‘Crutch’ ft. Bibi.. and ‘Ready for You’.
Crutch is from when he was in the depths of his physical and mental illness. He was underweight, and spent 23 hours a day in bed. Bibi was his girlfriend at the time.
Ready for You is a fight song. About not giving up in the face of mental illness. Incredibly empowering.
@@ranahooke1907Perfect, wrote these down! Thank you!
@@KoalityReactions Thanks for taking my requests on board! I appreciate it. ❤️
“I don’t know what is happening right now?” Your beauty is revealed in your honesty. On my first take of the song, I realized over the course of so many minutes my mask of persona had been lifted off. That mask we all wear, that thin veneer that allows one to hide their insecurities, their doubts, vulnerabilities and fears. When REN says, “I must not forget, we must not forget, that we are human beings”. It’s here you realize, you are sitting naked, nothing to hide the beautiful human being you are. Unsure if you should run and hide, cover yourself with the mask of your creation or just sit there and let the world see you, the real you. In the naked raw emotion, you can feel the first liberating breath you have been able to take in a long time. Your reaction screams, “I’ll take the breath!” Thank you for not running to hide and sharing the courage to face and accept the raw vulnerability of the moment, acknowledging the beauty in simply being human and allowing yourself to be seen. Thank you for being a human being.
I just watched after now than a week after your video so you may already know, but this is even more impactful when you read about his medical history, signing by Sony Records and then losing his contact as a result of his illness.
Plus, stuff further into how he's called out other artists (musicians, videographers, photographers...) to shine a light on their talents. He has a prominent "rising tides raises all ships", support other independent artists humbleness and solidarity about him that's really warming. @renmakesmusic
I truly appreciate your vulnerability while watching. Thoroughly enjoyed the reaction. And if the many dozens of reactions I've watched, i lived you had the lyrics in standby. Must don't.
What a delightful reaction/reactor.
Now you HAVE to see "Chalk Outlines" with him and Chinchilla! She's an amazingly talented independent artist as well!
I love Ren for sharing his gift with us, inspiring an motivate us. Listened to his whole catalogue which shows so much versatility.
Lately searched gor new artists and discovered the austrian rap scene for myself.
For everyone that enjoyed Hi Ren i definitly recommend to give COMPLETE - Jordan, a chance.
It got created 5 years earlier but both tracks share alot of wisdom and the peformance of both is outstanding.
Ren is so dope. This video is so impactful, but his bag is deep.. for someone just starting, you've got a ton of material to roll with and a huge community of people INTO it! Liked the reaction, keep em coming..
Yes, I'm learning I'm in for a good ride. Can't wait! Thanks for hanging out.
Loved your reaction. Honest, transparent, and fun. It was great.
Subscribed! Keep the Ren train going. It’s amazing
Awe thank you! Shall do!
Welcome to the Ren rabbit warren! You definitely got it, enjoy your trip of discovery! Im here for it if you chose to share your trip of discovery . I think you are going to have fun!🇨🇦 I subscribed.
Young lady, watching YOU watch REN was an absolute pleasure! I've watched the original (official) version and so many reactions that I've lost count. I really liked this reaction. You were transfixed (as most are their first or 20th time). Your commentary was insightful, sincere, and genuine. You're seemingly wiser than your years should allow. I like that. I don't normally subscribe based on one reaction, but I subscribed gave a like. Side not, I see that you are very new to doing reactions. As an avid reaction watcher, I would offer two pieces of 'advice.' #1) MOST folks appreciate commentary during a song/video. It's not 'mandatory,' but it IS a reaction video! So, when you pause and comment, PLEASE rewind 5 seconds or so. That way we (you AND us) can get back into the 'groove.' #2) I can't tell because of your hair, but you REALLY need to do music reactions with good quality ear or headphones. I prefer over the ear headphones, but you do what's comfortable... but my advice is to use GOOD quality sound equipment. Lastly, I LOVE the name... "koality" rather than the standard 'quality.' I also LOVE the title of Professional Shower Singer!! Too clever! Best of luck as you go forward. I'll be watching!! 🙂
Good morning again. I am a few days late to this reaction, but you have really picked some cool rabbit holes to go down. Ren is one of the most unique artists you will find and one of the best story tellers. His videos and songs offer a vast variety of styles and genres, but they are all brilliant and enjoyable. He can go to some pretty dark and emotional places, or just take you out for a fun ride.
For pausing, if you are not doing so, use the Space Bar to pause, and use the back arrow to automatically go back 10 seconds. This is the most common way for reactors to do it, since it preserves the flow of the song and it ensures you are not missing a key moment or lyric.
Yes, thank you! I'll be doing that from now on. And I agree... I've got some good videos to watch ahead of me. Cheers!
I love that so many reactors have the same emotions. And you did a great job! This one speaks so much, it's nice that you didn't pauae on every line like some do. Good job! I'm a new fan of your channel
Thank you so much!!
showing honest emotional reaction to the content is the hallmark of a great reactor -- great video, i am certain your channel will flourish
What a beautiful reaction!!! I have been watching hundreds by now (literally), but yours stood out in the way one could read all the emotions on your face that I feel every single time when watching it. Subscribed!
Great reaction! I think you're really going to enjoy exploring all Ren has to offer as an artist. And I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions to him and to other artists as well!
Thanks, I can't wait to hear more from him. I'm already planning to do more!
Loved this reaction and song. Ren is amazing...Just a little tip that you can hit the back arrow on your keyboard and go back 5 seconds each click. Thanks for the great reaction :)
Video was one take (out of 4 done). Music was done live (sweetened in post, of course) as well. This guy has an amazing musical and emotional range - from hiphop to folk/busking to blues. One of the most creative artists to come along in decades. If you want to see a counterpoint to this 'raw' piece, but also with the emotional content, take a reaction to his song "Su!cide"...... illustrates not only his songwriting/performance, but his engineering/production skills. Also the video makes use of cutting edge AI art.... bring a box of tissues on set if you react.
I made a note for this one already, so hopefully it'll be soon. Thanks!!
"I stood in the flames that cremated my brains and I didn't once flinch or shake, so cower at the man I've become.." What an amazing line!
This is just the beginning of an odd yet wonderful trip into the unique talent of Ren. There are so many facets of his talents. Freakishly unique talent never before seen. Keep listening. Explore. Let us know what you think. Well done ! There is nothing he cant do. Don't miss anything!❤
It's an emotional rollercoaster for me every time I listen to it. Great reaction.
If you can think and speak normally after watching Hi Ren for the first time, there's something wrong with you.
I think you're also going to love Ren's duets with Chinchilla (another great artist you may not have heard of): 'Chalk Outlines' and 'How To Be Me' (watch the 'live' versions), and as someone else already told you, the Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full Version!) is another 'experience'.
Hahaha well I never claimed there wasn’t something wrong with me! ;) Maybe that’s why I connect with Ren’s music so much?! Hah Thanks for the recs! Never heard of Chinchilla (but I love the animal so very excited to listen). On the list!
Great reaction! I love watching people discover Ren for the first time. I've never seen anybody like him in my 60 years. And definitely check out and react to the tale of Jenny and Screech (full version). Everything about that trilogy is phenomenal, his guitar playing, his songwriting, his acting and the videography. Be ready for another emotional rollercoaster.
That's next, I'm so excited! Woo! And thanks so much.
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. I loved your reaction... so real. I look forward to seeing more.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for your thoughtful, earnest, insightful, and vulnerable approach to reacting. I didn't expect to be so drawn in.
Subscribed... Nice reaction... This is a rabbit hole you NEVER wanna leave...
I believe you. I'm so in. Thanks!
We know the experience.❤
Lovely reaction.
Thank you fir your insights. Ren speaks for many who have been silenced by illness and isolation .
He makes himsrlf vulnerable and is so authentic.
Vulnerability is a powerful thing. Thanks so much! Cheers.
Great! We’ll buckle up join you on the journey with Ren, Chinchilla, The Big Push, Sam Tompkins and the warren of special rabbit holes that lead from Ren.
Sub from the UK 👍🇬🇧x
Ooh, someone has mentioned Chinchilla but not the others. Can’t wait!! Thanks for being here, cheers.
@@KoalityReactionsThe Big Push is a Band Ren was with till December 22. Sam Tompkins is a UK vocalist with a special voice Ren used to ‘busk’ with (research UK busking scene lol). The world of Ren and associates is your oyster 👍🇬🇧❤️
I know that this is a second comment but I forgot to mention this before.... 1:42 "wtf is this weird shit they got me watching".... 11:42 "This is my mf'in JAM!!!!" lmao
Well the beginning really throws you off with the pig mask and blood. Hahaha
I have watched at least 20 reactions to this video and you had the best comments and I loved your purity in your reaction. 💚🙏
