I am a very old musician. I feel as though watching Hi Ren changed me. I will never again be the person I was before I saw this. I have been watching both the video and people reacting to it non stop for the last few days. It is the single purest most honest thing I have ever experienced. Cheers from Canada. ~ulrich
Same here
HI ULRICH
Gestures *art* that's what true acts of creation truly do, change us its not always pretty but its real
Me too
You spoke my truth here! I've been completely consumed since the first time I watched this video. Ren has so brilliantly and truthfully captured the human condition here. Im so grateful that he was brave enough to share it. To allow us to witness his management of the mayhem of his internal battles. He is a gift.
Ren has changed my battle with mental illness in a way that it is no longer a battle... I am older, and i have learned to see it as the dance. I dance with the highs and very dark lows, but the diffrence now is that i accept it. I no longer curse myself with self hatred. I love myself for the very first time in 40 yrs. I love me and have learned to handle the conversations with the people in my mind that only i can hear.❤
I hope you're doing well and i hope you've learned some steps to make this dance a little easier for yourself.
My favorite part of your reaction was when Ren stood up and you straightened your posture and squared your shoulders with him. You were _FEELING_ that moment, man! Chills!
THIS!!❤
Same!
That moment is marvellous, its when you feel the person is up to overcome it and fight .. its beautiful
I’ve listened to Ren for a number of years and always found it amazing that he’s not well known worldwide. So it’s so heartwarming to see how he’s starting to get the recognition he deserves.
he totally deserves every good thing that comes his way
I listened to him basking some years ago and "loosing him" in the jungle of music since then. I'm glad I found him again, thanks RUclips (if it's any good for something than that). I'm not a native English speaker,so I have some problems understanding him rapping. But, I enjoy his art very much even if I have to listen to him several times (I'm old too, you know) to catch him. What a great artist he is and his story is mine too, at least for the medical/health part (bitten by a tick and experiencing the shit the hc industry provides). I had tears in my eyes and got some hope too to overcome certain struggles I still have to endure. I hope he will get better and make music for us all who admire him. I do!
He is definitely getting the attention now all over tube.hes getting big like NF and Tom macdonald while he's in Canada going through medical treatment
He would of been already, but Sony dropped him due to his personal issues. I’ve not seen someone this multi talent since Prince Sting Marley. He’s in a tiny class of unreal talented communicators
I'm a new artist , my fan base is very Little but very warm! I just uploaded my latest videoclip "Amy Run" on my channel , which talks about Panic Attacks. I would love to make people discover my work 🖤
This video .... I've never seen so many reactors fighting tears. Several actually did cry. And maybe 50% of the reactors I follow are calling a genius. This young needs to have a chance at a normal and long life. He's absolutely amazing!
Ren's story is kind of heartbreaking. He is suffering with Lyme disease after being misdiagnosed and given useless treatments and drugs for years. He is now in Canada getting daily treatments and it's a shame because his music is blowing up right now and he's not able to perform. He will be stuck in Canada for another 5 months or so. Hopefully this treatment will work for him and relieve the symptoms he lives with daily. The pig masked person shows up in a few videos. He has PTSD from the treatment he has received from a lot of the medical community. Most didn't believe what he was telling them, told him his was mentally ill, prescribed useless medications that just caused more problems. He is such a talented storyteller. I know his lyrics resonate with a lot of people. My daughter suffers from depression and anxiety and she is the one that introduced me to Ren. I've gone down the rabbit hole and I'm amazed at his versatility and talent.
Man I love seeing people hear Ren for the first time. I’ll never get sick of these reactions. Just wait.. there’s so many songs.. that are soooo good.
I know right. Me neither. I find myself searching every 2nd day, to check, and see, how many hearts felt the impact of HI REN today?
I hear that. Never gets old.
@@izzyboot9408 Nick is a good egg. Always fun to hang out on his live streams on twitch.
I feel exactly the same
So true! It's almost embarrassing as to how many reaction videos I've watched on this song alone.
Our beloved Brighton Bard strikes once more. The modern-day minstrel with a mind full of tales is finally getting the recognition he deserves 🖤 We need to spread his inspirational music far and wide so the right people get to hear it
Peace and love from Brighton
Who or what is Brighton Bard?
@@duke1281 Ren is the bard who comes from Brighton so he is the Brighton Bard
The “Brighton Bard” ?!😂 Brilliant!!
Indeed - welcome to the RENaissance!!
Barcore, Ren. ❤
The stunned silence after watching Ren for the first time never gets old.
Listening to Ren for the first time is like listening to music/art/theater, all combined, for the first time. Ren is a modern day "Bard". His story telling capabilities are incredible. The productions of his videos ... camera work, settings, sound quality are beyond next level. If you want to experience Ren's story telling capabilities and out of this world gritty, organic, sound and scenery I suggest the trilogy that is "The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full)". If you would like to experience Ren's singing voice and be introduced to one of the most underrated female singers (Chinchilla) on YT I would suggest "Ren X Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines (live)" the most raw and dynamic duet I have heard ... probably ever. Welcome to the rabbit-hole that is Ren... enjoy your journey.
I love your connecting him to a Bard. I'm a practicing neo Druid and I completely agree. It's fitting he's from Wales. Isn't that where the story of Taliesan is from?
@@NicheCraftwithKassi Indeed. The 'Mabinogion' You can't really regard yourself as any kind of Druid if you haven't read this work about 20 times. lol
Hoorah for somebody else claiming him to being a modern day bard...I've been saying this for years. Kudos to you squire.
Yes! Omigosh, what a Shakespearean tragedy, a snapshot of gritty life that one is!! Can’t say either is better than the other - different subject, different method, but superbly original, BRILLIANT!
Thats a real good description " modern day bard". Thats fits really well what he is doing.
The Ren rabbit hole is deep and dark, sometimes scary but always fulfilling. If you think this song is an all timer, buckle up buttercup
Every song in his catalog is of this caliber. In 50 different styles. He is the most talented musical artist of our lifetimes. Enjoy the rabbit hole it's deep.
For info on Ren he is a street performer from Brighton. He got sick when he was young. When nothing worked they told him it was in his head and he spent like 7 years being given various psychological drugs he didn't need because it turns out he has had Lyme disease this whole time. It's wreaked havoc on his body and mind. He is currently in Canada receiving treatment.
Agree 100%
I can think of a half dozen fan bases who all claim the artist they Stan is the most talented musical artist of our lifetime lol
There are so many talented artists. Some are good other me are great from time to time or moment to moment. But then are those few who are simply beyond. Who are consistently great, brilliant, amazingly, skilled, and wonderful. They take what gift they been given and work to hone the craft.
Ren is Simply Beyond.
@Hey Jamie I get what you are saying. I'm nearly 40 and have listened to all different kinds of music. There are and have been many very talented artists. The thing is, though, they are legends because they were phenomenal at the 1 thing they did at that level. I have never seen someone that exhibits this much raw talent in every aspect of every style that he does. Basicly alone. No label, no management, no production crew (outside of his handful of friends he works with) no financing, ect. It is just wild and definitely not something the other "greatest artist" fan bases can say.
Ren began his music career busking in the UK. He was actually discovered and signed with Sony, but before he could release any music, he fell ill. He was initially misdiagnosed with schizophrenia and psychosis and treated accordingly. Sony dropped him at that point. The medicication actually began making him worse, and after being referred to a specialist, he was properly diagnosed with Lymes disease and has received several treatments. He is actually in Canada receiving treatments now. Check out Ren "Sick Boi" it dives pretty deep into what he has suffered. Like this one, it is amazing. If you want to see him rapping rapping, check out "The Hunger", and "Genesis". Oh, and you right, he is a genius.
Sony didn't drop him according to himself. He asked to leave. He says the dude who discovered him is a great dude. Check facts. Interview with Justin Hawkins
Recently watched sick boi for the first time and I’ve never felt so justified in my anger towards so much in my “therapy” journey. ❤
This really is brilliant. As someone who has struggled with these voices, it really not only highlights the struggle, but hints at the way out. It's not about banishing or fighting our darkness, because it only makes it stronger. It's about accepting it, without falling into it. For there is value in the darkness, but it must be balanced or the pendulum will swing too far. Likewise, when we focus solely on the light, it can swing too far the other way - "the greater the light shone the stronger the shadow it casts". I loved the line that learning to relax, and softening, makes the dance easier.
And it brilliant how in the end his song had hints of the darkness in it, with the dissonance is some of the chords and the flashing light, but fully embracing the light/hopeful side as well. Genius, indeed.
It's "shone" NOT shown..
@@AlSnoopsReid Thanks...corrected
well said
This is a song that divides your life into before... and after.
Ren was misdiagnosed by doctors and went through hell for years, wrong meds caused mental health issues. He finally got the right diagnosis and right meds and started healing, but a lot of damage had been done.
Ren usually comments with a thank you on everyone who does a reaction video. He is really appreciative of people respecting his music.
The Tale of Jenny And Screech (Full) will blow your mind. It’s a trilogy and shows off his story telling. It’s a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions.
Ren is extraordinary. You can't go wrong with anything in his extensive solo ouevre, collaborations, live busking sessions, and band The Big Push. Welcome to the rabbithole.
The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full) is similar in scale, but like I said, it's all really good.
The fact that you used the word ouvre absolutely made my day. Literacy rocks! Thank you. 🤘🏼👽
@@simontemplar3359 Agreed with all of the above!
As suggested, please check out The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full), as well as his work with The Big Push starting with Praise You, Englishman In New York, and Bongo Bong.
@@simontemplar3359 Partial credit to both of us, it's spelled oeuvre, oops. I don't get enough chances to use that word because it's rare that I feel one way about an entire body of work. Saying "[whatever person]'s oeuvre sucks" is a step too pretentious innit.
Steady now Emily, this is YouTurd we're on here. words like 'ouevre' will get people sweating. lol.
@@dougoneill7266 Access to RUclips is access to Google. YOLO
A FANTASTIC rabbit hole to FALL DEEP in! His WHOLE catalog is CRAZY good! ✌️🔥❤️🎶💯😏🙋♀️. Sick Boi follows this, BUT THEN...You HAVE to do The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full version) Chalk Outlines and MORE! He'll BLOW YOUR MIND and his BUSKING....OMG REN! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🤷♀️
We are so lucky to have Ren 🍀
Yes!!!!!🙏🥰🫶🫠🌏🌎🌍👭🧑🤝🧑👫👬💛💙🙏🩵🩷🌈☮️🌹🔮💎🌟
Absolutely brilliant first time Ren reaction. He hits home for sure.
Sick boi next but Jenny’s tale (full) is phenomenal. Also for his rapping skills the hunger.
Can't forget MoneyGame 1&2 and POWER, he just NEEDS to DO THEM ALL! 😏🤷♀️🤣🤣✌️😃
@@Spunky62 how could I!!! And chinchilla
I have heard this song over 100 times and each time it feels like a year of therapy. I cannot express in words how much I appreciate you spreading the message and sharing the love.
This is my first time listening to Ren. This is not really my style of music that I usually listen to, but like you, it hit me hard. Anybody who has struggled with their own personal demons knows all too well where he is coming from,and he is speaking the truth. We must never forget that we are just human beings, trying to forge our way through life. Thank you, Nick, for your heartfelt reaction.❤
You should definitely check out Ren's other stuff. He is so versatile you will be mind blown and likely join his ever growing legions of fans!!
Oh, Ren fans are certainly watching! I appreciate your heartfelt reaction. This was done live in a continuous run through. It was the 4th full take as I understand. What a mind-bending talent Ren is.
Check out “Sick Boi”, then the trilogy “The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)”. He is just as good in them.
REN is when you get 37 years of age and a kid can explain this "pain" in words wich i could never explain
He’s an artist!
Exactly ❤
Here is some information on Ren's story, in case you didn't already know. I gathered it from old newspaper interviews, articles, and Ren's livestreams and posts where he discussed his condition. Ren Eryn Gill is a British musician/independent artist; born in Wales on March 29, 1990, or ‘91 (depending on which source you cite), he grew up in Brighton. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, he began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. In 2010, he was signed by Sony Records and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue and subsequently dropped by Sony.
Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led him to experience psychosis. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure.
Ren is currently in Canada for more treatments, including surgeries, and will have to be there for at least six months (Summer of 2023). Ren’s Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder, which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, adrenals, as well as his bones/joints.
Ren stated: "It's a lot to wrap my head around having to be away from friends, family, and a successful career, and almost feels like a total juxtaposition to the fact that my music is blowing up right now and spreading to all corners of the world, but that's life, we take the good with the bad."
Ren’s recent wisdom tooth removal went well, but he is currently battling an infection following cavitation surgery, and he is not feeling well.
Let's keep supporting Ren as he undergoes his treatments. Check out and subscribe to his channel, listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to this generation, and his work is needed in these troubling times. Here is the link to Ren’s GoFundMe page to raise money for his current treatment. www.gofundme.com/f/ren-get-better-from-lyme-disease-and-autoimmunity
Thank you for this additional information @JensRandolff!! I have NEVER been so taken by an artist in my entire life, and I just turned 59 years old, so that is saying a lot. I am praying for Ren's health daily, and also that his music continues to reach more people, as it is truly transforming people's lives for the better. Ren is changing the world for the better, as one RUclips reaction channel said, "Ren's like a tide that lifts everyone up!"
Someone special to me over the last year of my life, who I had to let go due to circumstances, introduced me to Ren. Still on my journey. For me, it took awhile to absorb his art, as some can be quite dark. But it changes your perspective on things, and for me it made my question why this man came into my life. It shook up everything and made me go deeper into myself to really find who I am. And finding Ren, and other independent artists have been a big part of that. This man came into my life for a reason, but not a season. Never underestimate any interactions with others, because all may shift your perception, even if in minute ways we don't even realise.
As Ren says, I am you, you are me, that makes one, split in two.
We are all human beings in this eternal dance between the light and the dark.
Ha, welcome to the Ren matrix. You’ve been Red Pilled. You think this is insane, bruh - the Jenny Tale trilogy will fry your brain.
All his stuff is literally on a whole different level. I don’t know man, I’ve spent a whole month watching reactions to his stuff every day. He’s like a siren or something.
His rap game is on point, his collab game is ridiculous. His live stuff just street performing is infectious.
Buckle in dude.
Kid. Lol! He's around your age! Born in 1990. ( Although you're both young enough to be MY kids, so I shouldn't talk) Great reaction Nick, as always!
Ren leaves viewers speechless. Guy is a genius, followed him for about 5 years now. Singer, musician, poet, bard, rapper, philosopher. Seen him & his band (The Big Push ) live ....amazing gig
Great reaction Nick 👏👏! As you said at the beginning of your video: is he crazy or a genius? His illness (his madness) makes him genius; which makes his independent creativity unique and above most independent or non-independent artists. 👌
If you love Ren now, you should react to other songs like "Sick boi" or Ren's trilogy "Jenny, Screech and Violet's tale" you won't be disappointed! 🙏
Nick, so glad to hear your reaction to REN! I felt the same way when I saw this video the first time! It really has a lot of universal truths in it! Thanks for playing!
When he talks about getting older and learning to relax, you kinda think how many troubled youths just learn to deal with it, and never really treat it, suffering in silence all along.
Yay glad you found Ren he is a musical genius Thanks Nick x
Your reaction was gold; loved it.
Ren is an exceptionally talented and gifted artist and all of his songs are worth hearing. He's a natural performer and it's an amazing experience to watch his videos.
His story is one that resonates with so many people - he's got quite the following.
The fact that he plays the guitar riffs backwards at the end is just pure genious...
I am a Ren follower. I am 70 years old. Welcome to the Ren Universe. Glad you are here with all of us. Subscribed.
Welcome! You're going to love this guy. He has SO much to offer, and his talent seems endless.
Both mad and a genius, a mad genius. Up next "Sick Boi".
That was my reaction. Your jaw is dropped and you can't find any words. It's a masterpiece. And his other videos are remarkable too. This kid is all superstar.
I didn't think you would ever get to Ren. Almost began to lose hope to see reaction to Ren from you. ♥Almost 2 months waiting. Finally, so glad you are here now and your would will be rocked when you delve further into his catalog, he goes back a good number of years, so many styles, his singing voice is amazing. ♥His guitar talent is out of this world for such a young man. We must all wish him well and get him seen and heard all over the world. I do believe he is going to be the one that wakes the world up to mental illness and the failure of standard medical care. Keep doing Ren reactions, you will not be disappointed.
Yes Nick, he is a genius. I've fallen down the Ren rabbithole,busy exploring him.
Hi...listen to : Ren & BIBI~ Crutch.....absolutely phenomenal ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
See how good your instincts are?? Your FIRST words... "What is going on?? I can't tell if this dude is completely mad, or a genius." You're right. Both. Especially genius. I truly appreciate your humanity coming through as you reacted to the depth of his message and his wisdom. You likened it to a painting, statue or sculpture. Yes. This was art. Great reaction. Really. I'm already subscribed. If I could, I'd give you 5 thumbs up for this one.
I love that pretty much the entire video, you're left speechless with your mouth dropped open. Yep. That's all of us when we see this. ❤
I've been listening to a ton of reaction videos to REN HI REN. One reactor made a slip of the tongue trying to explain it and referred to Mental Hellness. Crazy. Thanks for your reation. {One more thing} For the rest of my life I'll never have to explain to another therapist. I'll just hit play
I discovered Ren about 6 weeks ago, and was instantly hooked. As brilliant as "Hi Ren" is, "The Tale of Jenny and Screech" (full) is even better. Talk about a gut-punch.
Dude go down the rabbit hole. It's pure heaven
The shot of the reactor with mouth agape in astonishment is one I’ve seen countless times. That’s what Ren’s artistry does.
In I think 2009 (maybe 2010) he was signed by Sony but he had to break his contract because he started having symptoms of illness that couldn't be dx. Apparently he went through years before the correct dx was made which was Lyme Disease. He spent 23 hours of every day in bed as a result. Then, a stem cell doctor saw his vlog on YT and offered to provide treatment for free if he could get to LA. After a little while, he started to feel better after his various procedures. Then, he released this in December along with some other music. Unfortunately, his treatment has revealed that he has another Autoimune illness and he's currently being treated for it in Canada. He won't be done with treatment until the end of Summer.
He has played in some other bands. Check out his earlier work Busking with Sam Thomsan and he was in The Big Push. All of those acts are also genius - but in a different way. He breaks through genres with ease, he can play multiple instruments, etc. I can't learn enough about him. Hope this helps. He does have a go fund me page that explains some of the current stuff, too.
LOVED this vid! You're the first one, I've seen, that acknowledged 'student' that really struck me too.
Dive into his catalog l, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Thx for reacting to this. Could not wait for u to see this.
This is a one-man full on play. He incapsulates all of the characters *flawlessly.* An incredible work of pure art and a display of absolute genius. 🎉❤️🩹🫂
I just saw this video in my feed, and clicked on it immediately. I became a massive fan immediately after the first time I saw this video about a month ago, and I'm so incredibly glad that you decided to react to this video too. I had a feeling that it would blow your mind, and you had pretty much the same reaction to it that I did. Your reaction at the end was spot on too, and I could see and feel how genuinely moved you were by the entire experience. The ending was powerful and very personal, and hit really hard for me. Ren is not only an artistic and musical genius, but he is such a brilliant story teller too. He has this uncanny ability to reach your heart and soul, and deliver a performance and message so powerful and moving, that it leaves you nearly speechless. A lot of his performances are Live (you can see the mic attached to the collar of his shirt), which makes them even more impressive. You should definitely react to his trilogy "The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full)." "Sick Boi," "Genesis," "The Hunger," "Power," and "Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve Retake)" all put his incredible rapping skills on full display. If you want two great examples of his singing ability, check out "Chalk Outlines (feat Chinchilla) (Live)" and "How to Be Me (feat Chinchilla) (Live)." You really can't go wrong with any of his songs, and with every performance being different and memorable in its own way, the rabbit hole of Ren's catalog is pretty remarkable.
He's 33, no kid lol....but he does have a very young face. Loved watching your jaw drop ;)
Check out the Jenny and Screech trilogy - do the full trilogy. He does so much across genres. He's got a ton of great rap.
Hey there Saucey Dad. Great reaction. I was speechless the first time I heard this song 3 days ago. Can't wait to see more Ren reactions!!
Ren is music, talent and brilliance. There is no one who can touch his level of talent.
Welcome to Ren's rabbit hole..get ready for your mind to be blown every time you react to him. He's a great vocalist..rapper..lyricist..amazing talent.
Yes! Haven't watched yet but was wondering of you'd get on the Ren train!
"I can't tell if this guy is mad or a genius" It doesn't really matter, it's the same thing here.
Ren has disrupted my whole RUclips habit. instead of tracking Pentatonix and Paolo Nutini and young people discovering Queen and other 70s bands for the first time, I've been watching almost nothing but Ren and Ren reactions for a month now.
He is a singer, rapper, storyteller, guitarist (all types) pianist and in an interview he said he even played the cello a bit, but I haven't seen a video with that yet! He has stated he has ADHD.
he was signed by Sony at 19, then started getting weird symptoms, pain, exhaustion and they dropped him. they couldn't find a physical cause and decided it was mental. so spent the next 8 years exhausted and in pain and being told it was all in his head, and taking drugs to fix what wasn't broken, or rather, what was breaking worse and worse. Lyme disease symptoms are vague and the blood tests unreliable at first, but if undiagnosed and untreated, it damages many parts of your body, including your brain. so as time went on the treatments for the misdiagnosis and the pain and exhaustion and inappropriate drugs plus the psychosis from the untreated Lyme disease *were* doing his head in. the pig mask guy has to do with his medical PTSD from all of this.
but about 6 years ago he got the right diagnosis, got stem cell treatment in the US and began healing and restarted his career, which had been limping along from home when he could manage. he looks a bit younger than he is, in pictures of him from before the illness he seems to be rather babyfaced. that and staying indoors for most of a decade has kept him young looking I guess. He's 31 or 32 now.
Currently he is in Canada seeking follow up treatment, fixing more things that being sick for so long broke. He'll be there about 6 months, has a stockpile of records and videos to edit and release month by month. He also has a go-fund me to help pay for it all, nice to mention to your fans at least once. look around his YT page and you'll find links.
he is independent and does not make copyright claims, he wants everything shared so more people come watch for themselves. if you get a claim, tell him and he will clear it.
What to listen to next?
the tale of Jenny and Screech (FULL) is 3 videos in one which tell a story. so its another long one. listen carefully, there's clues in each that will make since in the following. Have tissues on hand, it a beautiful but harsh thing to listen
Sick Boi, another one about his medical history
Chalk Outlines (live) Ren x Chinchilla = take your meds. (yes, her fingernails are very very long)
money 1 & 2 = capitalism is bad.
Love Music 1, 2, & 3 = music is good!
Verve Bittersweet Symphony retake = He loves his town, Brighton
The Hunger = he raps. also Genesis and What you want.
older stuff: look for vids of him busking with Sam Tompkins. Ren & Sam Tompkins - Earned it /Mans World / Falling , it Warning, Sam Tompkins plus Mitch Grassi in the same day might overload you on beautiful high tenors, proceed with caution.
He also busks as part of The Big Push. I Shot the Sheriff seems to be the crowd favourite. more than a few reactors noticed this a few years back but again, it didn't quite get them a contract.
If you dig deep enough you'll find an earlier band, Trick the Fox
Thank you @NilZed1 for this additional information on Ren. I am praying for him every day since discovering his music in January and learning he suffers from Lyme disease. It feels so amazing to know Ren's genius is bringing so much transformation to so many people. I'm 59 years old and feeling so fortunate to have heard his music during my lifetime.
@@heatherbee3204 I turned 58 this week!
@@NilZed1 Happy Belated Birthday @NilZed1🎂
It is IMPOSSIBLE to know what to expect in this performance. It's a mind-boggling punch right in the heart 🤯 ❤️🩹 ending with a powerful message of hope that resonates on so many levels ❤️🔥
The word you were looking for is art. This is art.
Ren does something so rare. He IMPACTS us. When we all heard this piece for the first time it charged us. That's not hyperbole. Ren changed us in a real and permanent way. I cannot think of another artist who has done that before. And that's no disrespect to anyone else. It's just how I feel. Ren genuinely shifted my perspective on my own existence. It's so much more than just music.
im a huge insane fan ... bro your gonna go through the most brain ORGAZIMS that you never even knew you could have so many in such a short amount of time.. 3 big ones is monster, chalked out lines, and MAKE SURE You combine all 3 parts into 1 video review called 1.jennys tail #2 screech #3
This has become one of my favorite pieces of art in my adult life. It's a tremendous accomplishment, truly.
So far this is the only video I have seen, it’s so powerful and accurate. I have to be ready to watch another one, this is brilliant. I clicked as soon as I saw that you were reacting to this, I knew that you would appreciate the genius and accuracy of this.
“Sick Boi” is in a similar 15:44 aspects, check out “The Tale of Jenny & Screech” (Full) which is a fantastic trilogy. “The Hunger” is more old school hip hop rap. “What You Want” reminds me of the Beastie Boys and “Power” is like pop radio play rap. But to truly appreciate the greatness of @renmakesmusic, then you need to see his total diverse abilities and check out him doing “Bittersweet Symphony”, Can’t Help Falling In Love”, “Chalk Outlines”, “Money Game”, “Money Game, Part 2” and then some of his work with The Big Push and Sam Thompkins like “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World”, “I Shot The Sheriff” and “War Pigs”.
I love me some REN ✨he is a incredible human being
I’m obsessed his music is amazing
can’t wait for you do more of his catalogue 🎶
🎶music is life ! 🎶
The world needs REN ✨prayers for REN 🙏🏽💫🌎 🎶music heals our souls ❤️🩹
enjoyed your reaction! 😉✌🏽
I am not a big fan of reaction videos but have binged reactions for this song. I love seeing how it hits everyone hard, no matter who they are or how different their backgrounds are. It also cuts through the more 'superficial' or fake reactions you can see sometimes. You can tell that people are having a deep, genuine emotional reaction.
Side note: been a huge fan of ren since hearing this song. If interested in more songs, id suggest 'hunger' and 'illest of our time' if you like rap. For deeper songs like this, check out 'chalk outlines' and 'how to be me'.
This is one of those songs you wish you could here for the first time 1,000 times.
Probably the most important song of this century.
There came a moment in this where you ceased being a reactor, you became so focused on this masterpiece and it was beautiful to behold. You will get many suggestions for what to listen to from Ren, Spoiler Alert it's all gold, different ecclectic and wonderfully honest. Keep it Saucy! 🐺❤️
I have watched so many of these. The line “there were victims and there students” hits hard. You’re the first reactor I have seen who commented on that. I was surprised no one else did. And I think I have seen at least 15 of these.
Watch Sick Boi, Chalk outlines, Bitter sweet symphony (The bass player of Verve the original singers of Bitter sweet symphony sent him a guitar as a gift after he released his version). Indeed Ren is a genius!
Ren has lead me on a path of understanding my own mental illness and fighting it better, stronger, and healthier. He truly is amazing, he's changing lives and bringing hope with the story of his own life and his own demons.
People who have passed through suffering have gained wisdom beyond their years.
Ren has so many great tracks, and even better none of them sound alike, he's all over the place in terms of genre. Really a multi talented artist.
Ren has posted his almost Shakespearean three song musical tragedy which plays out in "London City not so pretty." This masterpiece is on RUclips with the tittle: "The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full)" -- Be sure to watch the (full) version -- it has all three songs in order, one after the other. It's time well spent
I'm a fan of Ren since about 4 years I guess, and I'm so really fucking happy to see people discovering him. I feel like a mom, not even kidding. As I like to say, I live inside the Ren-aissance, it's my place and forever will be. There's room for everyone, come in.
Great Reaction Saucey!! Found Ren about a month ago. Multi talented . Guitar,Rap,story teller, Etc !! You will enjoy this journey Promise. Ty.
Losing It is another great one. It will get you moving and it will be stuck in your head for a week. Very catchy.
There are no real winners, just victims...and students. We needed this guy much more than we realized. If you don't spend half the video with your mouth open thinking WTF???? You weren't paying attention! He is a fucking genius.
The first eye contact at the word "dawn". Every moment and nuance of this is so carefully, masterfully crafted. A cornerstone work of the 21st century.
Every single reaction video to this song is the same. Intense focus and mouth agape. Normally followed by tears and self reflection. Legit genius to have that affect on people.
This isn't a music video, but rather an ACTUAL PERFORMANCE. This is true gold
I loved your response. I had the same response, he’s definitely a genius, but also kind, and thankful to be alive. He’s loved by millions now, and it was from just people pushing it to others, the same way it came to you. Thank you for watching and sharing him with others. All of his music is amazing, and all different.
I have to say I've never seen you so quiet during a reaction. ✌❤😎
Definitely listen to Chalk Outlines with Ren and Chinchilla also Sick Boi. He has a lot of clips of him busking in Brighton England, which is where he's from, on his channel. 😎
I've watched a lot of these. You're the only one that caught "students"
I am proud to come from Brighton, the same city that REN has put his pen to paper from. I am extremely fortunate to have seen REN perform with his band ‘The Big Push’, both busking on the streets & performing at local gigs. Thanks REN x
As soon as he starts singing I get goose bumps.. every time...
I just love how he has boiled down the human condition into a masterpiece that can reach people from all walks of life. Such a breath of fresh air, especially with the world the way it is right now.
Welcome to the Ren-naissance. ❤️
I look forward to your reactions as you go down this rabbit hole.
“I don’t know if it’s a song or what” is what I’m still saying after watching dozens of times. ❤
Other than patients in a hospital, I've never seen anyone hold their mouth open speechless for so long. Priceless!~
Dive into his back catalogue 👍 I'm sure you will get a lot of suggestions you can't go wrong with Ren ✌️❤️🏴
The "Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)" will hit you even harder...!
When you said
"Jesus, that just hit me right in the heart"
I FELT THAT TOO.
THAT HIT DEEP.
AND IVE FELT IT DEEPER and DEEPER FROM THE 2ND WATCH TO THE 200TH TIME.. EVERY WORD HITS DEEP AND I LOVE IT
Ren Gill is a Welsh lad based in Brighton UK who now has a fanatic cohort of wild eyed, rabbit hole wandering sadomasochists. We like your reaction. It is like watching a uboat being hunted with depth chargers whilst silent running.
There were no survivors..
Got your feels huh. I haven't seen one reactor yet that didn't come to tears. Even tho some were trying not to show it. This kids so amazing. He's got so much music. This kid is a genius.
