That's one hell of a statement that throws so many awesome songs to the wayside so deliberately and unceremoniously...........And I can't argue against it.
ONLY TEN YEARS!!?? There are still reactions on RUclips of Moonlight Sonata TWO HUNDRED YEARS after it was written (and Beethoven couldn't beatbox for shit)!!
LOCAL BOY MAKES GOOD!!! Nearly every reactor (and there are hundreds) that watch his busking videos says, "My god, what I wouldn't give to have seen him busk live!" You ladies are SO LUCKY!! ...and we're all jealous!!! Big up, Brighton!!!
The majority of his work that I have had the brilliant luck to come across, is more like "performance art" than just music. This piece, for example, is lyrically, and musically engrossing, in and of itself, laced with similies, metaphors, double entendre, beautifully descriptive details, and sweeping melodic outbursts, but you take: the different camera angles used for the 2 battling parts of his psyche, the different tones of voice used for each (aggressive vs. passive), the different lighting cues for each (flashing vs. steady), and the vocal inflection used for each (anger vs. calm), and you get a sense of perspective from each of those that helps to move the narrative. It's like an rock operetta. It evokes emotion, introspection, empathy, sympathy, happiness, sorrow, and even a feeling of resolution. I LOVE this performance. He definitely deserves ALL the accolades he is currently garnering from the world.
The reason Ren blew up is because of how authentic and relatable this video was for so many people. He portrays an internal battle that many of us fight every single day. That challenging, belittling voice is something most of us experience, and it can feel like it holds all the power. But Ren also portrayed the voice of hope, and that's what gets most of us through the day. I don't think I've ever seen another artist be that vulnerable, or tackle a subject in such a way as to meld my own experience with theirs. It hit me right at my core. This is beyond music. It's an experience.
Ren is a generational talent and a fine human being. Thank you, Brighton, for sharing your native son with the world. We are all humbled in his presence.
@@glennrowe2961 I knew he was Welsh; had no idea that he lived there as long as he did. I stand corrected on his origin but his talent transcends time and location. I've known of his existence for 10 days now and my life is forever altered.
I think the Ren fans on RUclips have been waiting for somebody from Brighton who is familiar with Ren but has no idea what he’s been up to to post reactions. Welcome to a flood of new subs…Ren has been a busy boy!
Ren is originally from North Wales...fairly close to the north of England...hence the slightly northern twang. He has Lyme disease which went undiagnosed for years causing his illness. He is currently living in Canada where he is receiving treatment. Tales of Jenny and Screech (13m version) is the next logical step....all his stuff is amazing.
I have seen probably 80 or more reactions, but, you are the first I have seen who are from his transplanted hometown, Brighton. Be forewarned, once you enter the Ren wormhole, you may never come back. He will take you to another part of the universe🎶
You both should watch this again. Without a camara in your faces and then explain your giggling. Rens' truth in this song is anything but funny, it's a brilliant testimony to the good and evil that lives within us all. Maybe it was the gin. Listen once again and hear the words...
This was a live performance. He is the King of live one take videos. He is one of the most talented people I've ever seen. His album reached number 1 in the UK. Have a blast watching him
I think you're going to love the Ren train. I keep saying to people that this is one of the most important artists of our time. Nice one. 'A rising tide lifts all boats' just go with it. get that worthiness thing out of your heads.
I fell in love with your channel when you reacted to AJ. And fell in love with Ren a year ago. Helped get his album to no 1 in the UK album charts in October by buying a copy. Would love to see you react to the tales of jenny and screech the full video.
Your Brighton Busker Boi is now an international star. I hope his music changes your life like it has so many others. My suggestion is to react to 'Sick Boi', 'Seven Sins' and then recent works like 'Back on 74'.
I'm so glad I came across this channel. I love Ren. I'm a renegade and the fact that you two used to see him busk on the street is just amazing. You lucky ladies! I'm a 51 year old man from Lexington Kentucky and I found Ren from this song about a month after it was released and I've been in love with his music ever since. I can't wait to see more of your Ren reactions
This is a one-man opera from the heart. It goes so deep, with such great talent. A once-in-a-lifetime piece. If he never did anything else, he'll be remembered. But he's doing so much more! Love your channel, ladies, and happy you reacted to this.
His album debuted last year ar Number 1 in the UK. I hope you do more Ren reactions. He has a great dining voice. Check out "Back on '74/Message in a bottle retake " and "Chalk Outlines (live version). Cheers
Great reaction! I'm from Brazil and I'm learning English in various ways, such as watching reacts, films/series and classes. I discovered Ren this year through this clip also when I was reacting to "NF-HOPE" and I saw him in the recommendations, I thought he was a lyrical genius, since then I've followed his journey. I would like you to react to "Ren- Sicki Boi", it is the sequence after this clip. I would also like you to start reacting to "NF", they are both very good and I guarantee you that you will learn a lot from them. (I USED GOOGLE TRANSLATOR TO TRANSLATE SOME THINGS);
Just seeing you for the first time. Been a Ren fan for 2 years now. Your mother is amazing and I have subscribed to watch you two. Her age that she jokes about is what gives her this understanding of Ren that the younger generations are delving into because of him. It's almost spiritual. Cannot wait to watch your new understanding of him.
I’ve watched a few people react to this song now. It’s interesting to see how different people react. Some smile, some weep, some just sit there and reflect. What’s apparent is that we all understand what he is saying inside.
I have never seen a reaction to this from people who are already familiar with Ren and what a great singer and performer he is. Usually when someone sees a busking video after seeing Hi Ren they are shocked at how great he is as a singer. It was great seeing your reaction to this 😊
I was not as lucky as you as to be able to actually see Ren in person, but after seeing Hi Ren, I fell in love and watched everything of his. Although he is still in Canada getting treatments for Lyme disease, he did put out a Hip Hop / Rap album Sic Boi and did win #1 album in the UK. Just him and his Brighton friends who all flew to Canada to be with him. No radio play, no touring or promoting, just people on RUclips finding him and falling in love. It's such an amazing thing and I hope he continues to get the recognition he deserves. You should watch the moment he found out he was #1, your Mom would love it!
Sooo ur mum is incredible btw,she was feeling that song❤ i went to brighton for the first time 2 weeks ago and im in love with the place,cant wait to go back
Oh, and in case you didn't know... The Brighton "Sick Boi" also managed to achieve a No.1 album in the UK, and all while being independent. He's a legend already... but I think there is so much more to come. Can't wait.
Welcome to the gate to the Ren rabbit hole, enjoy the ride. Please dive deep, appreciate so many of his different genres of music/entertainment. Definitely make sure to also react to videos by his band, The Big Push, and his different collaborations. You will love the sights of him busking.
Chalk Outlines LIVE version with Chinchilla is a perfect next stop and his 2nd to latest " Back on 74 " is out of this world style and vocal-wise. Then as you say there is The Big Push. He won an International award for Money Game 3 video. Big up from Eastbourne just along the road to Brighton.
Poetry and performance - and he did this in one take, no edits. You're going to be blown away by what he's doing these days. Out of the misery and suffering of his illness an awe inspiring talent has blossomed. Others (below) will tell you about what he's been through, and then I suggest you listen to "Sick Boi", which will offer you his perspective on the medical profession. He's currently in Canada, receiving stem cell treatment.
this video is an amalgam of four different takes and some hand held camera work. He has some fabulous one takes, and some fabulous minimal cut takes. This is not one. The mic appears and disappears through the clip and his gown length changes between camera cuts. Doesn't diminish this work of art but it does take away from his actual one takes to be promoting this as one as people who can see it's not will start to doubt his actual one takes.
@@CreativePhotoWS Ren himself states that all the shots for the video are from the same take, so I'm not sure where you got this info unless it's just you thinking a lapel mic disappearing into bunched fabric is concrete evidence.
@@4tr0phy show me where he states that. Name the interview. I’ve watched every interview. And yes, sometimes the mic goes behind the gown. Other times it appears and disappears almost instantly. Then there’s the gown length variations early in the piece that go from above knee to below to above again. The. There’s the hand held close ups which cannot be shot in one take or the camera man would be in the shot. Keep believing what you will. I could care less. But you detract greatly from his actual one takes by declaring this to be one. I’m a 40+ year professional image maker. I train people to spot mistakes in their work.
It's so interesting to hear you mention Bob Marley at the end. There is a video of THE BIG PUSH (Ren's band that you mentioned) playing a medley of I Shot The Sheriff by Bob Marley and a song by Bob's son and some other stuff. I have some brain damage from an accident so please forgive me forgetting the proper title for a moment lol. If you search for... The Big Push - I shot the sheriff ... you will find the video. The one you should watch has Hip Hop at the end of the title, I think. It's an incredible video filmed on the streets of your lovely hometown, Brighton. Who knows? Maybe you were in the crowd that day. You will love it either way.
The confusion and difficulty finding words is typical after experiencing Ren. There are no criteria to qualify to listen to Ren's music, and you've checked off all the items you could ever need to become a Renegade: * you're open-minded, * you pay attention to whats happening in the music, * You've engaged the Renegades and elicited a dialog **BONUS** You have prior first-hand experience of Ren. Please share. We love that stuff, haha Was watching you young ladies through your Angelina discovery and path, so very happy to see you join in on this rabbit hole. The Renegades are very engaging, supportive, knowledgable, and always happy to help with any questions, insider information, and/or direction to follow the Ren rabbit hole. ❤❤
Well done, girls. You are now officially Renegades 😊 How lucky you are to have seen Ren in Brighton! I am envious. The Tales are the next one, if you ask me, but honestly, you can watch anything and everything. Hugs from Sally in Sweden xx
The World Will Know Ren:) 2 lovely ladies -so glad to have found you through our dude!:) Ren is BEYOND. So much great music on his page -collabs, etc...check out Power for a good vibe. Much Love Ladies!:)
You ladies are amazing! The properly dressed, sweater over the shoulders mum. The daughter in a hoodie. You play off of each other very well. Looking forward to more Ren reactions!
Ren has many fans of all ages from all round the world . I am 71 and from Australia and not the only fan in their 70s I have seen in the comments. I you have seen Ren perform live you will be envied by many . Great reaction ,thank you
😂 your mum ‘ he shouldn’t be performing with women’ wow you are in for a ride. Chalk outlines live version with chinchilla. New sub and looking forward to you both seeing just how international ren has reached. Much love ❤️
I love him too. You two are positively adorable. Ren is an encyclopedia of knowledge. A musician, a writer and an actor. He has a talent the likes of which I’ve not seen before. He has been a gift to me. Cheers.
Loved your reaction, ladies. My elder brother was a street busker for much of his life, with a period in folk singing, and then pop in the late 1960's before returning to busking [Don Partridge]. He spent his last years in Seaford and Peacehaven, close to Brighton, and often busked in Brighton, so when he died the corporation named a bus after him. So, like you, I have a special affinity for buskers and for Brighton. Ren is probably the most amazing, creative and theatrical musical artist I have ever heard or seen. I know that you will both enjoy your Ren journey!
Wow - yes we've just researched Don; you can see him perform 'Rosie' featured on Humberto Gonzalez Espinoza RUclips channel. Lovely! Thank you for watching
I work in the mental health field with addiction recovery. This guy is breaking barriers and educating people. I just learned of him last evening and I can't get enough.
This was an exciting reaction , renegade here from the Ren rabbit hole. I can’t wait for you to react to more Ren, he has a lot so be prepared and it is ALL fantastic. And I’m sure you will like chinchilla… she’s just ‘fabulous’ 🙌🏼🥰
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-much the same as this song resonates. As a person who’s never been able to escape negative self-talk and imposter syndrome, *realizing* that I can exert the strength that destructive voice questions-strength that already resides within me-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.
From what I’ve heard he was originally from Brighton but was living in London for a while before moving to Canada for treatment. Quite a few songs are storytelling, dealing with the loss of a friend, and his ability to rap is incredible. There are easily 20 videos you can react to. In descending order my favorites are Power, For Joe, Chalk Outlines (featuring Chinchilla), Illest of Our Time, I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip-Hop
There's nothing more beautiful than Ren and Chinchilla ladies! And by the way, Ren hit #1 on the charts in the UK against Rick Ashley despite not having any airplay or a label!!!
Hi Guys, great reaction. I also consider myself lucky enough to have seen Ren and the Big Push Busking Live. I own the Shell Shop on Brighton Beach and REN used to busk directly opposite (remember this if you ever react to the Money Game Trilogy). I had many a conversation with him about his illness and his fight to get to Canada to get the right treatment. In fact we used to look after all his busking gear in his wheelbarrow. I thought he was gifted and talented back then but now I am just in awe in how far he has come considering all the battles he has faced. Beware, the REN rabbithole is deep and very rewarding. Us Renegades are not only here for him but we are here to help spread every message he is giving us. He is making people talk and get help for things that were too often kept quiet and wrongly never spoken about. REN with his talents is bringing people together and helping them realise that they are not alone. REN is BARDCORE. REN is saving lives
You two are absolutely adorable, I’m in Ontario Canada and you lovely ladies just made my whole day. Quite entertaining. Thanks for the fun. I just love REN , your reactions were great.
I'm 65 and this is the most IMPACTFUL performance I have seen/heard IN MY LIFE. For....dozens of reasons. It should be required. NO...not on radio, you'd miss so very MUCH of the performance if you only listened to it. It DESERVES more than "a listen" It's a ten-minute life-changing performance. I don't have high enough praise.
Just found your channel with this video, been watching reactions to the song all day. Was pleasantly surprised to hear that you saw this guy performing before he was well known. This reaction in particular is interesting to me because of how there are two generations reacting to something that my yet even younger generation has produced (the suffering caused by our circumstances that leads to the creation of art like this). The world has begun to change so quickly and all the different generations still living currently seem to struggle relating to each other. The way this message affects all these different generations is different in some ways and the same in others. Society changes at a furious pace, but simultaneously human nature has always been and always will be the same. The mum cracked me up a bit 😂. Some people when they get older and mature, lose their ability to just laugh and enjoy life. Clearly she is not afflicted by this problem lol. God bless you guys, well wishes from the US 🙏
the first channel to do a proper reaction; both of you were great! thank you. Ren is a beautiful person and has suffered immense physical and psychological pain for many years of his life, not to mention he was mis-diagnosed for years and suffered from Lyme disease which has left permanent damage. He is a miracle and his music speaks volume.
The one thing I love the most about these ..... "Ren reactions" is when you see people realize how honest he is and how he pierces through the shells of our daily lives. Honesty is a thing that frightens most people. The song with Chincilla is called "Chalk Outlines", it's just as great as this one.
Hello and welcome to the RENiverse, ladies. Let me introduce you to... Ren Gill, he is a 34 year old Welsh native (Wales from the United Kingdom, specifically from the Island of Anglesey off the northwestern coast of Wales) and currently resides in Brighton, England (a southern English Channel beach town with an insanely active busking [live street performing] scene). He has been performing since he was 12 years old. He is entirely self-trained. He speaks native Welsh, English, French, and I do believe a bit of Italian, IIRC? He is exceptional at the guitar, piano, and vocalisation. He is a totally independent artist who has no record label to represent him or, more importantly, control him. He is a rapper, a multi-instrumentalist, a producer, a singer-songwriter, a composer, and truly the definition of genre-less. He can do any genre, produce any sound or beat, and he can do it all for nothing. No song is like another, no beat is the same, no way to judge anything based on what each song is. Again, it must be repeated: he is SELF-trained and has never had formal training for his music or productions. At the age of 19, he contracted Lyme Disease from a tick bite he received while on a trip with his friends. He was misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led to severe psychosis, for several years until he was properly diagnosed by a Swiss physician. Due to not receiving the appropriate treatment for Lyme Disease within the very short time frame after contraction, the disease has ravaged his body and mind, causing permanent brain damage, severe issues with digestion, sleep, nerves, and various other health problems. It caused him horrendous, chronic, violent pain to the point of being bedridden for years. Music is the reason he has survived. I'd like to provide some cultural context for this artist from another extremely talented artist: This is what the Irish folk rock artist Sinead O’Connor posted on social media after watching Hi Ren: “Holy motherfuckin SHIT! Someone just showed me this at the weekend. This Archangel from like, twelfth heaven or somewhere, has only gone and made the entire history of songwriting and performing look like a three year old's birthday party at Burger King. Every song and or artist in history even Willie Dixon, Chuck Berry, The Beatles, NWA, Ice Cube, and even Bob Dylan, is officially relegated to class B. As are every actor in history or legend: living or dead, male or female. We all are now defunct." Posted on May 17th, 2023, 2 months before self-deletion in July 2023. I recommend watching Sick Boi, Troubles, and the 'Chapters' from his RenMakesStuff (BTS channel for Ren) for a much deeper comprehension of his journey. Hi Ren was recorded live in the basement of an apartment building in Brighton, England. It was literally a crew of five people, cost 50 quid (~$62) to make, and the audio is entirely one take. The video is spliced across four one takes. It is recorded live with a lavalier lapel microphone, a portable guitar amp and recording device, three cameras, and Ren's laptop. He rehearsed this piece literally thousands of times before he even recorded the music video to provide certainty that he would get the guitar notes perfectly and his delivery as perfect as possible. This piece is a very personal one for Ren and was the first time in his musicianship to properly acknowledge his ailment, his journey, and his issues musically. He has hinted at it in all of his previous works prior to it, but this was the first time it was out in the open, purposefully. The 'Pig' from the beginning is an essential symbol in the RENiverse and appears in many, if not most, of his other music videos and media. It represents the corrupted and abused systems of the world that take and take and take and never give back to the people they are supposed to support: medicine, music, finances, trade, commerce, government, etc… There are actually four characters in this piece: the yodeller at the beginning and end (representing a call to aspirations), self (the calm and soft one on the 'right'), doubt (the 'evil' one on the 'left'), and hope (the one in the 'centre' near the end of the piece). The written poetry at the end of the piece is a very simplified summary of his real journey and represents his most primary belief system. Hi Ren is a continuation of Sick Boi, which is recorded live (though not a one take) in the same basement a few weeks prior to Hi Ren. It was also produced for practically no money and it represents his feelings on commoditization, greed, the healthcare industry, and the music industry in a generalised yet very specific manner. So glad to finally hear from someone familiar with Brighton and Ren's/The Big Push's work being locals. I am sure by now, since I am posting this several months after you originally posted and have already reacted to other songs of his, you realise how exceptionally important he is to so many people around the world. He has literally saved hundreds of thousands of lives and changed the lives of millions of people. He is the epitome of 21st century music and I love him so much. I can't wait to afford the ability to come to Brighton and see his old haunts and experience Brighton's culture. Trust me, I pay quite a bit of attention to the background of his busking videos hehe. You both really need to do more Ren. You have not even touched a 60th of his total catalogue, not even including his work with The Big Push, his band, or his collaborations, or his many busking moments. Have fun! Welcome to the RENegades and the RENiverse. Much peace and love to you. ^^
Luv you ladies! The Tales of Jenny and Screech (13 minute version has all 3 tales in the right order) is storytelling at its finest. He has recent great stuff you'd like Back on 74 /Message in a Bottle Retake and Fred Again Mashup. Both great.
I’ve seen SO many reactions to this performance - seeing the different people from different backgrounds all react in the same ways to Hi Ren is almost addictive! That said… you two ladies have a unique approach and style… and I am so glad that you are happy I am here! 😂😂😂
You have started something .. a journey. Happy watching. You have a list to go through. Make sure you watch the money game videos in the correct order. Genesis. Do you believe it's morning (not many people seem to watch that one) The story of Jenny and Screech. The last goes on 😊
We'd all give at least a few fingers to go back and see Ren and/or The Big Push busking in Brighton! Really cool to see a reaction from a couple who HAVE. SO envious! and happy for you that you saw it live. I'm sure you'd enjoy The Big Push's busking performance of "Watch Out." You want the one with Ren in red suspenders.
Something I've learned from reaction channels' comment sections for their Ren reactions: suspenders = garter belt over there! Folks from the UK say "look for the thumbnail with Ren in the red braces" to describe the videos from the Red Suspenders Ren busking performance... just in case it helps these ladies figure out what we're saying! (they may already know about the vocab thing, but... just in case!)
This reaction is a perfect example of the other side. The side that just hears the music. The depth this song actually reaches, will be hopefully talked about for many year's.
Ren is addictive, I have watched so much of him and his friends over the last amazing year I'm pretty sure I've seen Mum in the crowds of busking videos in Brighton Looking forward to seeing more Ren with you. He has been in treatment for over a year in Calgary Canada
Thank you for this wonderful reaction, both of you are absolutely delightful! You are coming at Ren with a fresh perspective, one that intrigues me: I see in his many busking videos all the passerby who stop to enjoy his beautiful music and yet, perhaps, are not aware of the myriad health issues that have plagued him and, in fact, inspired much of his music (latest album = Sick Boi). This is a very different perspective from the youtube audience such as myself who have learned about the health issues as soon as discovering Ren. I would love to hear, as you dive into his videos, whether your impression of him has changed since the busking days! BTW, I'm super envious that you got see him in those street performances!!
We may not realise it today, but this is the most insightful and influential 'song' of the 21st century so far.
Some people have started to realize it. Look for Sinead O'Connor's (RIP) tweets about him from May 17th 2023
I agree ❤
That's one hell of a statement that throws so many awesome songs to the wayside so deliberately and unceremoniously...........And I can't argue against it.
I agree. This is absolutely a song that is historical and timeless.
Right up there with Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit".

Ren rabbit hole
Facts prepare to be amazed
The majority of his work that I have had the brilliant luck to come across, is more like "performance art" than just music. This piece, for example, is lyrically, and musically engrossing, in and of itself, laced with similies, metaphors, double entendre, beautifully descriptive details, and sweeping melodic outbursts, but you take: the different camera angles used for the 2 battling parts of his psyche, the different tones of voice used for each (aggressive vs. passive), the different lighting cues for each (flashing vs. steady), and the vocal inflection used for each (anger vs. calm), and you get a sense of perspective from each of those that helps to move the narrative. It's like an rock operetta. It evokes emotion, introspection, empathy, sympathy, happiness, sorrow, and even a feeling of resolution. I LOVE this performance. He definitely deserves ALL the accolades he is currently garnering from the world.
Video was shot in one take.
Well said, performance art indeed.
Your mother would love back on 74 he released it about a month ago. You would love it to
Yes please this one
Now on the list! Lovely memories of Brighton
Your mother is adorable. I loved how hard she felt this.
This is one reaction I hope Ren genuinely sees.
So do I! 😆
Absolutely agree
Yeah wealthy rich people
@@johnforkan1492 Work harder and quit crying.
@johnforkan1492 you didn't hear the end of his song, huh?
Just humans appreciating a wonderful piece of art, and sharing their experience.
The reason Ren blew up is because of how authentic and relatable this video was for so many people. He portrays an internal battle that many of us fight every single day. That challenging, belittling voice is something most of us experience, and it can feel like it holds all the power. But Ren also portrayed the voice of hope, and that's what gets most of us through the day.
I don't think I've ever seen another artist be that vulnerable, or tackle a subject in such a way as to meld my own experience with theirs. It hit me right at my core. This is beyond music. It's an experience.
Totally agree, it's a personal truth that is true to so many people x
Dude your Mum is COMPLETELY adorable... adore that woman, what a true gem!!!
I thought of her as an alcoholic...
Ren is a generational talent and a fine human being. Thank you, Brighton, for sharing your native son with the world. We are all humbled in his presence.
He’s Welsh, he moved to Brighton😜
He's not from Brighton but Wales! 🏴🏴🏴
@@glennrowe2961 I knew he was Welsh; had no idea that he lived there as long as he did. I stand corrected on his origin but his talent transcends time and location. I've known of his existence for 10 days now and my life is forever altered.
Thank you for watching Russell!
@@ogribiker8535Anglesey.
Ren gives thanks to all reactors. He would probably love a shout out from people that knew him back then.
I think the Ren fans on RUclips have been waiting for somebody from Brighton who is familiar with Ren but has no idea what he’s been up to to post reactions.
Welcome to a flood of new subs…Ren has been a busy boy!
We really appreciate learning more about the artist from his fans - so thank you.
@@TravellingwithMotherI'm from California but now live in Texas and want to know more about him.
You got a lot of catching up to do ladies, your boy has been busy ✌
Now on to "Chalk Outlines" with Ren and Chinchilla!
Make sure you do the LIVE version of Chalk Outlines. It's AMAZING!
And How to be Me (Live) 😊
"CHALK OUTLINES" FOR SURE NEXT!
Thank you for watching - it's on the list!
@@TravellingwithMotherand don't miss Chinchilla's 'Fingers' Live video...amazing 👌
I love that you're mom loves him so much! It keeps getting better from here!
Yes, she really loves his music, the whole production, him and his words. We'll definitely react to more Ren.
@@TravellingwithMother ❤️
Ren is originally from North Wales...fairly close to the north of England...hence the slightly northern twang. He has Lyme disease which went undiagnosed for years causing his illness. He is currently living in Canada where he is receiving treatment. Tales of Jenny and Screech (13m version) is the next logical step....all his stuff is amazing.
He moved to Brighton remember.
@@jimmaga of course
@@YorkshireRippler Did you just explain Ren to someone who's seen him busking on the streets? XD
@@lanmandragoran8337 They may have seen him busking but did not know much about him smart arse 😂
😮@@lanmandragoran8337
Ren and Chinchilla together are stunning: "Chalk Outlines" (live) and "How to Be Me" (live).
Yes! The videos where you can see them sing, NOT the studio tracks.
Those 2 tracks and "Humble" with Eden Nash are probably up in my top 5 of Ren songs. Absolutely phenomenal.
Only problem with listening to Chalk Outlines is I sing it in my head for the rest of the day, great song
His Band is The Big Push to jog your memory 💜✌🏽
The Big Push is a brilliant band.
Yes, yes - that's right! Mother told me eventually 😂
I have seen probably 80 or more reactions, but, you are the first I have seen who are from his transplanted hometown, Brighton.
Be forewarned, once you enter the Ren wormhole, you may never come back. He will take you to another part of the universe🎶
We're ready! Thank you for watching
@@TravellingwithMother Thank you for your unique perspectives.
You are in for an amazing, unique and educational experience👍
You both should watch this again. Without a camara in your faces and then explain your giggling. Rens' truth in this song is anything but funny, it's a brilliant testimony to the good and evil that lives within us all. Maybe it was the gin. Listen once again and hear the words...
@@jaywoodruff8129how pretentious!

Guess you missed the whole bit about them having actually known him, and not realising just how he'd blown up since "Hi, Ren".
This was a live performance. He is the King of live one take videos. He is one of the most talented people I've ever seen. His album reached number 1 in the UK. Have a blast watching him
He is the king of one takes. This however isn't one but an amalgam of the four takes they did plus some handheld camera work.
I think you're going to love the Ren train. I keep saying to people that this is one of the most important artists of our time. Nice one.
'A rising tide lifts all boats' just go with it. get that worthiness thing out of your heads.
💯
I really appreciate you watching and thank you for the request.
"He's communicating to everything on earth" is the best observation I have heard.
I fell in love with your channel when you reacted to AJ. And fell in love with Ren a year ago. Helped get his album to no 1 in the UK album charts in October by buying a copy. Would love to see you react to the tales of jenny and screech the full video.
On the list! Thank you for watching.
Love you ladies. Your mother is delightful ❤
Your Brighton Busker Boi is now an international star. I hope his music changes your life like it has so many others. My suggestion is to react to 'Sick Boi', 'Seven Sins' and then recent works like 'Back on 74'.
He's Welsh !!!! 🏴🏴🏴
Thank you for watching. Now on the long list of tracks we want to react to
Back on 74 is how I found Ren.
I'm so glad I came across this channel. I love Ren. I'm a renegade and the fact that you two used to see him busk on the street is just amazing. You lucky ladies! I'm a 51 year old man from Lexington Kentucky and I found Ren from this song about a month after it was released and I've been in love with his music ever since. I can't wait to see more of your Ren reactions
Btw there are many of his and sM Tompkins And the big push busking videos on RUclips
This is a one-man opera from the heart. It goes so deep, with such great talent. A once-in-a-lifetime piece. If he never did anything else, he'll be remembered. But he's doing so much more! Love your channel, ladies, and happy you reacted to this.
Thank you for watching.
His album debuted last year ar Number 1 in the UK. I hope you do more Ren reactions. He has a great dining voice. Check out "Back on '74/Message in a bottle retake " and "Chalk Outlines (live version). Cheers
Definitely plan to react to more of Ren. Yes, those tracks are on the list!
Great reaction! I'm from Brazil and I'm learning English in various ways, such as watching reacts, films/series and classes. I discovered Ren this year through this clip also when I was reacting to "NF-HOPE" and I saw him in the recommendations, I thought he was a lyrical genius, since then I've followed his journey. I would like you to react to "Ren- Sicki Boi", it is the sequence after this clip. I would also like you to start reacting to "NF", they are both very good and I guarantee you that you will learn a lot from them. (I USED GOOGLE TRANSLATOR TO TRANSLATE SOME THINGS);
This was a breath of fresh air mum was very happy 😂loved her enthusiasm and you young lady great reaction more please!
More on the way! Thank you for watching
Just seeing you for the first time. Been a Ren fan for 2 years now. Your mother is amazing and I have subscribed to watch you two. Her age that she jokes about is what gives her this understanding of Ren that the younger generations are delving into because of him. It's almost spiritual. Cannot wait to watch your new understanding of him.
There's a lot more of this genius to feature on our channel! Thank you for watching
I’ve watched a few people react to this song now. It’s interesting to see how different people react. Some smile, some weep, some just sit there and reflect. What’s apparent is that we all understand what he is saying inside.
I have never seen a reaction to this from people who are already familiar with Ren and what a great singer and performer he is. Usually when someone sees a busking video after seeing Hi Ren they are shocked at how great he is as a singer. It was great seeing your reaction to this 😊
I was not as lucky as you as to be able to actually see Ren in person, but after seeing Hi Ren, I fell in love and watched everything of his. Although he is still in Canada getting treatments for Lyme disease, he did put out a Hip Hop / Rap album Sic Boi and did win #1 album in the UK. Just him and his Brighton friends who all flew to Canada to be with him. No radio play, no touring or promoting, just people on RUclips finding him and falling in love. It's such an amazing thing and I hope he continues to get the recognition he deserves. You should watch the moment he found out he was #1, your Mom would love it!
Sooo ur mum is incredible btw,she was feeling that song❤ i went to brighton for the first time 2 weeks ago and im in love with the place,cant wait to go back
Wonderful reaction and ladies are worthy
Oh, and in case you didn't know... The Brighton "Sick Boi" also managed to achieve a No.1 album in the UK, and all while being independent. He's a legend already... but I think there is so much more to come. Can't wait.
Welcome to Ren,enjoy the ride,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Welcome to the gate to the Ren rabbit hole, enjoy the ride. Please dive deep, appreciate so many of his different genres of music/entertainment.
Definitely make sure to also react to videos by his band, The Big Push, and his different collaborations. You will love the sights of him busking.
Mother loves his work with The Big Push - it's going on the list
"We haven't done any research" best reactor line ever.
A beautiful response from both of you xxx
Welcome to The Renegades
He's a lyrical genius
Everything you will experience is unique
Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
Chalk Outlines LIVE version with Chinchilla is a perfect next stop and his 2nd to latest " Back on 74 " is out of this world style and vocal-wise. Then as you say there is The Big Push. He won an International award for Money Game 3 video. Big up from Eastbourne just along the road to Brighton.
Loved this reaction! Please do more Ren... based on your other videos I think you guys would love his more recent duets with Chinchilla.
Poetry and performance - and he did this in one take, no edits. You're going to be blown away by what he's doing these days. Out of the misery and suffering of his illness an awe inspiring talent has blossomed. Others (below) will tell you about what he's been through, and then I suggest you listen to "Sick Boi", which will offer you his perspective on the medical profession. He's currently in Canada, receiving stem cell treatment.
Always happy to hear from Ren's fans. Thank you and thank you for watching.
this video is an amalgam of four different takes and some hand held camera work. He has some fabulous one takes, and some fabulous minimal cut takes. This is not one. The mic appears and disappears through the clip and his gown length changes between camera cuts. Doesn't diminish this work of art but it does take away from his actual one takes to be promoting this as one as people who can see it's not will start to doubt his actual one takes.
Needles s to say, I wasn't there - just passing on what I was told.@@CreativePhotoWS
@@CreativePhotoWS Ren himself states that all the shots for the video are from the same take, so I'm not sure where you got this info unless it's just you thinking a lapel mic disappearing into bunched fabric is concrete evidence.
@@4tr0phy show me where he states that. Name the interview. I’ve watched every interview. And yes, sometimes the mic goes behind the gown. Other times it appears and disappears almost instantly. Then there’s the gown length variations early in the piece that go from above knee to below to above again. The. There’s the hand held close ups which cannot be shot in one take or the camera man would be in the shot.
Keep believing what you will. I could care less. But you detract greatly from his actual one takes by declaring this to be one. I’m a 40+ year professional image maker. I train people to spot mistakes in their work.
It's so interesting to hear you mention Bob Marley at the end. There is a video of THE BIG PUSH (Ren's band that you mentioned) playing a medley of I Shot The Sheriff by Bob Marley and a song by Bob's son and some other stuff. I have some brain damage from an accident so please forgive me forgetting the proper title for a moment lol. If you search for...
The Big Push - I shot the sheriff
... you will find the video. The one you should watch has Hip Hop at the end of the title, I think. It's an incredible video filmed on the streets of your lovely hometown, Brighton. Who knows? Maybe you were in the crowd that day. You will love it either way.
Very good reaction. Ren has helped me with my mental health just by being Ren.
The confusion and difficulty finding words is typical after experiencing Ren. There are no criteria to qualify to listen to Ren's music, and you've checked off all the items you could ever need to become a Renegade:
* you're open-minded,
* you pay attention to whats happening in the music,
* You've engaged the Renegades and elicited a dialog
**BONUS** You have prior first-hand experience of Ren. Please share. We love that stuff, haha
Was watching you young ladies through your Angelina discovery and path, so very happy to see you join in on this rabbit hole. The Renegades are very engaging, supportive, knowledgable, and always happy to help with any questions, insider information, and/or direction to follow the Ren rabbit hole. ❤❤
Thank you so much! We definitely will react to more Ren.
Well done, girls. You are now officially Renegades 😊 How lucky you are to have seen Ren in Brighton! I am envious. The Tales are the next one, if you ask me, but honestly, you can watch anything and everything.
Hugs from Sally in Sweden xx
Thank you for watching, Sally! Just added your request.
The World Will Know Ren:) 2 lovely ladies -so glad to have found you through our dude!:) Ren is BEYOND. So much great music on his page -collabs, etc...check out Power for a good vibe. Much Love Ladies!:)
I love your mums reaction and excitement so much! Both of you are just so sweet
You ladies are amazing! The properly dressed, sweater over the shoulders mum. The daughter in a hoodie. You play off of each other very well. Looking forward to more Ren reactions!
Ren has many fans of all ages from all round the world . I am 71 and from Australia and not the only fan in their 70s I have seen in the comments. I you have seen Ren perform live you will be envied by many .
Great reaction ,thank you
😂 your mum ‘ he shouldn’t be performing with women’ wow you are in for a ride. Chalk outlines live version with chinchilla. New sub and looking forward to you both seeing just how international ren has reached. Much love ❤️
Yes, I have to be careful what she says sometimes! 😂 Thank you for watching
@@TravellingwithMother too funny :)
@@TravellingwithMotheryou two are going to love Chinchilla
I love him too.
You two are positively adorable.
Ren is an encyclopedia of knowledge. A musician, a writer and an actor. He has a talent the likes of which I’ve not seen before. He has been a gift to me.
Cheers.
Loved your reaction, ladies. My elder brother was a street busker for much of his life, with a period in folk singing, and then pop in the late 1960's before returning to busking [Don Partridge]. He spent his last years in Seaford and Peacehaven, close to Brighton, and often busked in Brighton, so when he died the corporation named a bus after him. So, like you, I have a special affinity for buskers and for Brighton. Ren is probably the most amazing, creative and theatrical musical artist I have ever heard or seen. I know that you will both enjoy your Ren journey!
Wow - yes we've just researched Don; you can see him perform 'Rosie' featured on Humberto Gonzalez Espinoza RUclips channel. Lovely! Thank you for watching
I came for Ren, I'm staying because your mother is everything!! Love her so much! What a fantastic pair you two make. ❤
I enjoyed your video so much. How refreshing to hear the whole song without it stopping 🙏✌️❤️. I love Ren especially 1974. Hope to hear you review it💚
I work in the mental health field with addiction recovery. This guy is breaking barriers and educating people. I just learned of him last evening and I can't get enough.
Welcome to the rabbit hole!
He is everywhere and relates to everyone ❣️ I am a 66 yr old Widow in the US and I have heard all of his songs since finding this one last year. ❤
This was an exciting reaction , renegade here from the Ren rabbit hole. I can’t wait for you to react to more Ren, he has a lot so be prepared and it is ALL fantastic. And I’m sure you will like chinchilla… she’s just ‘fabulous’ 🙌🏼🥰
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT (and refreshing) that you don't pause.
So glad you agree with us. Thank you
Moms got rhythm. Crazy rhythm, she had an ear for it you can tell.
I cant get enough of this song. i think i have played it 100x times now. Something about it rings so true to me...absolute masterpiece
Loved your reaction to, as you know, a true GENIUS
Liked & subscribed in anticipation of you reacting to more Ren
Thank you ❤
The Tale of Jenny and Screech is a rough one .. but hang in there when you listen to it .. thanks for your reactions to this
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-much the same as this song resonates.
As a person who’s never been able to escape negative self-talk and imposter syndrome, *realizing* that I can exert the strength that destructive voice questions-strength that already resides within me-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.
Hes got treatment in canada for his lymedisease,now that he got many,he come nr 1 in Englands hitlist😊
This was heartwarming to watch!
And yes, I am jealous of the Brighton busking scene.
I used to live in Brighton as well…was probably watching alongside you lot. REN is amazing.
Well said lady's, you surprised me so you got my subscription 😊
From what I’ve heard he was originally from Brighton but was living in London for a while before moving to Canada for treatment. Quite a few songs are storytelling, dealing with the loss of a friend, and his ability to rap is incredible. There are easily 20 videos you can react to.
In descending order my favorites are Power, For Joe, Chalk Outlines (featuring Chinchilla), Illest of Our Time, I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip-Hop
I've had psychotic fits. This is the best description of the internal conflict I have found in music.
Loved this reaction, you ladies are a trip!
There's nothing more beautiful than Ren and Chinchilla ladies!
And by the way, Ren hit #1 on the charts in the UK against Rick Ashley despite not having any airplay or a label!!!
Hi Guys, great reaction. I also consider myself lucky enough to have seen Ren and the Big Push Busking Live. I own the Shell Shop on Brighton Beach and REN used to busk directly opposite (remember this if you ever react to the Money Game Trilogy). I had many a conversation with him about his illness and his fight to get to Canada to get the right treatment. In fact we used to look after all his busking gear in his wheelbarrow. I thought he was gifted and talented back then but now I am just in awe in how far he has come considering all the battles he has faced. Beware, the REN rabbithole is deep and very rewarding. Us Renegades are not only here for him but we are here to help spread every message he is giving us. He is making people talk and get help for things that were too often kept quiet and wrongly never spoken about. REN with his talents is bringing people together and helping them realise that they are not alone. REN is BARDCORE. REN is saving lives
I just came across this vid, now with this Hi Ren vid, look at him then Cillian Murphy aka Peaky blinders
i love ren and you guys are too cute 😍
You two are absolutely adorable, I’m in Ontario Canada and you lovely ladies just made my whole day. Quite entertaining. Thanks for the fun. I just love REN , your reactions were great.
I'm 65 and this is the most IMPACTFUL performance I have seen/heard IN MY LIFE. For....dozens of reasons. It should be required. NO...not on radio, you'd miss so very MUCH of the performance if you only listened to it. It DESERVES more than "a listen" It's a ten-minute life-changing performance. I don't have high enough praise.
Just found your channel with this video, been watching reactions to the song all day. Was pleasantly surprised to hear that you saw this guy performing before he was well known. This reaction in particular is interesting to me because of how there are two generations reacting to something that my yet even younger generation has produced (the suffering caused by our circumstances that leads to the creation of art like this). The world has begun to change so quickly and all the different generations still living currently seem to struggle relating to each other. The way this message affects all these different generations is different in some ways and the same in others. Society changes at a furious pace, but simultaneously human nature has always been and always will be the same. The mum cracked me up a bit 😂. Some people when they get older and mature, lose their ability to just laugh and enjoy life. Clearly she is not afflicted by this problem lol. God bless you guys, well wishes from the US 🙏
the first channel to do a proper reaction; both of you were great! thank you. Ren is a beautiful person and has suffered immense physical and psychological pain for many years of his life, not to mention he was mis-diagnosed for years and suffered from Lyme disease which has left permanent damage. He is a miracle and his music speaks volume.
The one thing I love the most about these ..... "Ren reactions" is when you see people realize how honest he is and how he pierces through the shells of our daily lives. Honesty is a thing that frightens most people.
The song with Chincilla is called "Chalk Outlines", it's just as great as this one.
Hello and welcome to the RENiverse, ladies.
Let me introduce you to... Ren Gill, he is a 34 year old Welsh native (Wales from the United Kingdom, specifically from the Island of Anglesey off the northwestern coast of Wales) and currently resides in Brighton, England (a southern English Channel beach town with an insanely active busking [live street performing] scene). He has been performing since he was 12 years old.
He is entirely self-trained. He speaks native Welsh, English, French, and I do believe a bit of Italian, IIRC? He is exceptional at the guitar, piano, and vocalisation. He is a totally independent artist who has no record label to represent him or, more importantly, control him. He is a rapper, a multi-instrumentalist, a producer, a singer-songwriter, a composer, and truly the definition of genre-less. He can do any genre, produce any sound or beat, and he can do it all for nothing. No song is like another, no beat is the same, no way to judge anything based on what each song is. Again, it must be repeated: he is SELF-trained and has never had formal training for his music or productions.
At the age of 19, he contracted Lyme Disease from a tick bite he received while on a trip with his friends. He was misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led to severe psychosis, for several years until he was properly diagnosed by a Swiss physician. Due to not receiving the appropriate treatment for Lyme Disease within the very short time frame after contraction, the disease has ravaged his body and mind, causing permanent brain damage, severe issues with digestion, sleep, nerves, and various other health problems. It caused him horrendous, chronic, violent pain to the point of being bedridden for years. Music is the reason he has survived.
I'd like to provide some cultural context for this artist from another extremely talented artist:
This is what the Irish folk rock artist Sinead O’Connor posted on social media after watching Hi Ren: “Holy motherfuckin SHIT! Someone just showed me this at the weekend. This Archangel from like, twelfth heaven or somewhere, has only gone and made the entire history of songwriting and performing look like a three year old's birthday party at Burger King.
Every song and or artist in history even Willie Dixon, Chuck Berry, The Beatles, NWA, Ice Cube, and even Bob Dylan, is officially relegated to class B. As are every actor in history or legend: living or dead, male or female. We all are now defunct." Posted on May 17th, 2023, 2 months before self-deletion in July 2023.
I recommend watching Sick Boi, Troubles, and the 'Chapters' from his RenMakesStuff (BTS channel for Ren) for a much deeper comprehension of his journey.
Hi Ren was recorded live in the basement of an apartment building in Brighton, England. It was literally a crew of five people, cost 50 quid (~$62) to make, and the audio is entirely one take. The video is spliced across four one takes. It is recorded live with a lavalier lapel microphone, a portable guitar amp and recording device, three cameras, and Ren's laptop. He rehearsed this piece literally thousands of times before he even recorded the music video to provide certainty that he would get the guitar notes perfectly and his delivery as perfect as possible.
This piece is a very personal one for Ren and was the first time in his musicianship to properly acknowledge his ailment, his journey, and his issues musically. He has hinted at it in all of his previous works prior to it, but this was the first time it was out in the open, purposefully.
The 'Pig' from the beginning is an essential symbol in the RENiverse and appears in many, if not most, of his other music videos and media. It represents the corrupted and abused systems of the world that take and take and take and never give back to the people they are supposed to support: medicine, music, finances, trade, commerce, government, etc…
There are actually four characters in this piece: the yodeller at the beginning and end (representing a call to aspirations), self (the calm and soft one on the 'right'), doubt (the 'evil' one on the 'left'), and hope (the one in the 'centre' near the end of the piece).
The written poetry at the end of the piece is a very simplified summary of his real journey and represents his most primary belief system.
Hi Ren is a continuation of Sick Boi, which is recorded live (though not a one take) in the same basement a few weeks prior to Hi Ren. It was also produced for practically no money and it represents his feelings on commoditization, greed, the healthcare industry, and the music industry in a generalised yet very specific manner.
So glad to finally hear from someone familiar with Brighton and Ren's/The Big Push's work being locals. I am sure by now, since I am posting this several months after you originally posted and have already reacted to other songs of his, you realise how exceptionally important he is to so many people around the world. He has literally saved hundreds of thousands of lives and changed the lives of millions of people. He is the epitome of 21st century music and I love him so much. I can't wait to afford the ability to come to Brighton and see his old haunts and experience Brighton's culture. Trust me, I pay quite a bit of attention to the background of his busking videos hehe.
You both really need to do more Ren. You have not even touched a 60th of his total catalogue, not even including his work with The Big Push, his band, or his collaborations, or his many busking moments.
Have fun! Welcome to the RENegades and the RENiverse. Much peace and love to you. ^^
Luv you ladies! The Tales of Jenny and Screech (13 minute version has all 3 tales in the right order) is storytelling at its finest. He has recent great stuff you'd like Back on 74 /Message in a Bottle Retake and Fred Again Mashup. Both great.
I’ve seen SO many reactions to this performance - seeing the different people from different backgrounds all react in the same ways to Hi Ren is almost addictive! That said… you two ladies have a unique approach and style… and I am so glad that you are happy I am here! 😂😂😂
I love all his music!❤❤❤
You have started something .. a journey. Happy watching. You have a list to go through. Make sure you watch the money game videos in the correct order. Genesis. Do you believe it's morning (not many people seem to watch that one) The story of Jenny and Screech. The last goes on 😊
You mothers face at start of ren coming on ,has made my day
We'd all give at least a few fingers to go back and see Ren and/or The Big Push busking in Brighton! Really cool to see a reaction from a couple who HAVE. SO envious! and happy for you that you saw it live. I'm sure you'd enjoy The Big Push's busking performance of "Watch Out." You want the one with Ren in red suspenders.
Something I've learned from reaction channels' comment sections for their Ren reactions: suspenders = garter belt over there! Folks from the UK say "look for the thumbnail with Ren in the red braces" to describe the videos from the Red Suspenders Ren busking performance... just in case it helps these ladies figure out what we're saying!
(they may already know about the vocab thing, but... just in case!)
This reaction is a perfect example of the other side. The side that just hears the music. The depth this song actually reaches, will be hopefully talked about for many year's.
Ren has two trilogi you must see, moneygame 1,2,3 and another jenny&scretch, and violet( My spelling is terrible,i am from sweden)
Screech
OMG you two are so sweet! Loved this reaction. More REN reactions from you two, please.
Ren is addictive, I have watched so much of him and his friends over the last amazing year I'm pretty sure I've seen Mum in the crowds of busking videos in Brighton
Looking forward to seeing more Ren with you.
He has been in treatment for over a year in Calgary Canada
Thank you for this wonderful reaction, both of you are absolutely delightful!
You are coming at Ren with a fresh perspective, one that intrigues me: I see in his many busking videos all the passerby who stop to enjoy his beautiful music and yet, perhaps, are not aware of the myriad health issues that have plagued him and, in fact, inspired much of his music (latest album = Sick Boi).
This is a very different perspective from the youtube audience such as myself who have learned about the health issues as soon as discovering Ren.
I would love to hear, as you dive into his videos, whether your impression of him has changed since the busking days!
BTW, I'm super envious that you got see him in those street performances!!
Excellent reaction , ❤ the connection to u knowing Mr. Gill
Mom is a little bit extra and i love it! 😂❤
Good choice
Glad you think so!
