    This man has literally said he is new to making reaction videos. I love the suggestions (key word) offered to him about rewind a little after pausing and pausing mid line, and I have seen other reactors take this advice when suggested, but some people are just going about it in a rude way. Besides, I don't think one has full control over their body when first experiencing Ren! 😊

    He guides us to loathe the violence being perpetrated through melodies that sound mostly "cute" and "cheerful". People call this shakesperian, but Violet and her children feel like something out of a Grimm's tale to me, because they seem like their cautionary tales' characters that get a very heavy penalty to make the message stick to children's minds. What really impress me and gladdens my heart is the artistry and connection achieved with such very limited resources (except talent and hard work, of course) in a world where entertainment seems to revolve around CGI and millions of whatever monetary unity.

That’s speaks to how much I enjoy his music, and I’m hoping it puts in perspective how much you have to stand out to get a click on your own reactions. Something about your thumbnail but thought I would take time to drop you a comment and say that you got a new sub and I think you are very authentic so for what that is worth, it’s why your channel got my vote and not a different one. Keep cranking them out please sir I love your enthusiasm and actual genuine passion also. Thanks for existing

    Couple of things first. Has YT changed its subtitle generator? Up to now all subtitles on Ren's videos have been truly awful and thoroughly misleading. The ones in this reaction are pretty good! Secondly many congratulations on providing the greatest one liner in the history of reaction videos...... that 'tuning fork' line had me laughing out loud. In future reactions could I suggest that when you pause to comment, you rewind a few seconds before carrying on? There were several fairly significant moments where you split the line in two and the full point wasn't then clear. As you're heading into the Renosphere, don't forget to check out his amazing work, busking on the streets of Brighton with his band The Big Push, where see his as an extraordinarily talented singer, lead guitarist, rhythm guitarist and bass player. Suggest I shot The Sheriff, War Pigs, Nina Simone, and his collaborations with Sam Tompkins and Chinchilla. There's some amazing stuff for you to find. Happy hunting!

      Nope... he needs more pauses. Forget this amateur hour stuff where he merely cuts all the bars in half. He should pause it after each word and try to psychoanalyze each of them in excruciating detail like a jealous girlfriend dissecting a text message.
      I mean, why would he rewind and catch the overall meaning? Are you trying to make him understand the story or something?

    I think I may have found a new favourite Ren reactor. Fantastic insight throughout. Though did you catch that Jenny and Screech were sister and brother?
    I think if you’re delving into his back catalog further I’d suggest ‘Money Game pt. 1 and 2’ - the second part became a meme hence the views. Perhaps also ’Genesis’ which is a rap/hip-hop song which made me realise just how multifaceted he is an artist. His ability as both an MC and beat creator/producer is pretty incredible. Subscribed.

    • @Mr.Ekshin

    When he is dark, he is very dark, but when he is light and cheeky, he is literally a delight.

    I don’t how much you know about his backstory, but he has has been sick for about 10 years, pretty much glued to the bed. Doctors kept misdiagnose him with bipolar, M.E., depression and anxiety, until one day a specialist test him and found out he has had Lyme disease for nearly a decade. The medication etc before that seriously screwed him and he ended up with a stress induced psychosis. He then finally got a stem cell transplant by pure luck because a doctor saw his early teen blogs of him in pain. The stem cell treatment finally gave him hope, life and energy. He is now I’m Canada and has been for nearly 7 months to get treatment for his Lyme disease so he can get well again. So if you wanna support him, watch his videos, spread the word about them. Or you can always done to his gofundme.

    Absolutely loved this reaction. You were very genuine and entertaining ("a tuning fork is literally ringing in my loins" had me cracking up for a solid 30 seconds), but also committed to taking in as much of the experience as you could, from the music to the cinematography to the sound mixing and beyond. I loved watching your expressions shift as Ren did something insanely creative or when the story took a turn.
    I did have to laugh at "oh this got dark" when Stevie started beating Violet because her tale started with an admission that her dad sexually abused her and then "history repeats itself, [Stevie]'d paint her black and blue" in the stairwell. Let me be clear, I don't blame you if you missed it- there's a lot to take in and most people (thank god) aren't primed to pick up on that kind of stuff like I am. I just thought it was funny, especially because you were like 12 minutes into a story about dead teenagers. It's crazy to me how many reaction videos there are where men act like they don't care about the shit Stevie did to her, and I really appreciated that this was not one of those (which, that's not to say that women don't abuse men or that men don't get abused, obviously, but I haven't seen a woman react the same way yet).
    It adds to the story to know those things, though. Screech and Jenny were twins separated at birth. Screech grew up violent and uncontrolled like his dad, and Jenny grew up silent and afraid like her mom. Their dad killed their mom, and then Screech killed Jenny. (I also think it's worth noting that it's implied that Jenny is a prostitute, walking around in the middle of the night in high-heeled shoes at 14, like she'd done "a thousand times before," she wanted to escape, etc, which I take as a parallel to the sexual exploitation of their mother.) Iirc, Ren said that the original inspiration for this song was a news story in London about a 14-year-old that killed a prostitute and then was shot to death by police in the same night, one street over. Senseless. Then it somehow turned into a 13-minute triptych about cyclical violence haha.

      I did realize at the end that Violet was the mother, it just took a moment because of that pause. Admittedly, a lot more of the finer points of the revelation came upon reflection, but I did catch the familial conventions in the initial reaction.

    I would love to hear your thoughts on videos of Ren and Liv Sangster. I'm not necessarily suggesting a reaction video, but I definitely think it's something you would thoroughly enjoy as it's very raw. They are freestyle busking in one video and in another, doing a live freestyle that was streamed from Ren's place. Liv sings more in these videos, and the fact that she (and Ren) are singing whatever comes to mind is amazing to me. Some commenters have said they thought they were listening to Jeff Buckley when they heard her before seeing her. Janis Joplin is who came to mind when I watched her, but more so in the sense that the music and soul were just oozing out of her! In the video streamed at Ren's, you can see the pure joy that Ren and Liv are having!

He tried to go to class two times but it didn't work at all. He taught himself from RUclips videos and by trying to find the most efficient ways to create the sounds and melodies he hear in his head.

      I feel like it’d be a little cringe to make my camera bigger than the content I’m reacting to 😂 Honestly, I’ve been perpetually worried that my camera in general is too large and invasive over top of the content I react to so this actually really spoke into an insecurity of mine. Thank YOU.
      I’ve honestly never watched other Ren reactors; I worry that it’ll screw with my brain and that I’ll potentially lose some of what is special about this organic thing I’ve stumbled upon. I worry that I’ll get in my head thinking that I should be doing XYZ because ABC was doing it, ya know? I like that these reactions are truly just me hitting a record button alone in my office and blooperfumbling my way through an intro until I’m confident enough to hit the play button on the content I’ll react to. It’s also super rewarding to decide that I typically approach that recording genuinely excited think I’ll probably really love the song. It makes this both fun and fulfilling.
      Thank you for your comment, my friend.
      🖖

    He isn’t classically trained. He just did an interview with Justin Hawking. His brain wasn’t able to learn in a conventional way. He took only 2 music classes and they didn’t work out. He taught himself, mostly RUclips. It’s astounding. Like he said, he was lucky he realized what he wanted to do when he was like 10 years old. He’s been practicing since then. Except when illness kept him from it. Anyway, I was so glad to find your Ren videos. You are doing a great job with them, lots of insight. 😊

    17:13 - 17:25 did you feel that? when the guitar comes back in, damn!!thats soo goood!!!!!
    17:44 - 18:00 and this part, when he went acapella, although the guitar wasn't played, it almost feels like you can hear the guitar in your head (from that part "..pilot..hit like hailstone, one to the collarbone...") , damn! he's so good! if he did that on purpose, he really is a fucking musical genius!

    Reactioneering (if that's a thing) is a talent you have in abundance my friend Walterooski. I watched this multiple times before I could join even some of the dots you drew on your first listen. Props, great job and to be frank - what a phenomenal talent Ren is.

    I’ve loved both of your Ren reactions and I really hope you do more. This was a very realistic story of the truth of inter generational violence. Jenny was quiet and still like her Mum and Screech was violent like his father. Ren has some great upbeat songs lit losing it, and what you want. you might want to check out to balance out the heaviness.

    You literally can't go wrong. Pick any song in his baglog and you will love it. Wanna dig farther check his band The Big Push. Want even deeper? His first band Trick the Fox (The Mash up and Living room poetry are my fav). He was a kid then and talented then.

  • @Tim31NJ
    @Tim31NJ Год назад

    Ren's band, The Big Push covers English Man in New York by Sting and had a busking performance of Message in a Bottle. He is one of many influences you'll hear in his music. He's a student of all genre's, becoming a teacher of his own genre.

      So, look. My whole life, I've gotten shit for wearing my heart on my sleeve... Comments like this mean the world to me. It is unbelievably flattering to me that people seem to watch for the very thing that I've gotten crap for my whole life and they approach it with a support that I don't know how to comprehend... I don't mean to wax poetic, but I do mean to thank you. So much.

    I think the off tune guitar notes and discordant singing tone is on purpose to match the the subject matter. He is acting and singing, rapping, walking and playing guitar, many times all at the same time is amazing. He was undiagnosed and subsequently unsuccessfully treated for Lyme disease. Funds were raised and he recently went to Canada for specialized treatment.

    I wanted you to just acknowledge that you understood who Violet is...and that this was although created years after Jen and Screech...he made it clear the hands of time must be rewound in order to tell her tale...after the Wait..she stayed silent, his guitar Riff moves time to the present...so now we as listeners are now invested into when....and any stories that we've read, heard, or an intuition we've Felt, revealing the information that makes sense of it all come full circle is why we love Sequels....or those endings that say To be continued. We are left Wanting...there MUST be closure of some sort before our minds allow it to be processed to be understood to the point of ok...an opening, a center, and the Fin .

    A very warm welcome to the “RENaissance”. Can I suggest listening to Heretic. It’s got this incredible slightly discordant toy piano accompaniment in parts of it! Ren is by far the most exciting artist for a long, long time. I have lost count of how many times I’ve listened to The Tale of Jenny and Screech and it still gives me chills. What a wonderful reaction. Especially when, on a couple of occasions, you tried to speak but were left speechless. That happens a lot when listening to Ren. His musicality and use of language alone is incredible but he “becomes” his characters to the point that his posture, stance, facial expression and energy can change in a heartbeat as he transitions from one to the next. He can do in 3 minutes what a lot of big budget movies struggle to do in 2 hours or more. I personally think that he is a genius. P.S. Subbed. 😁👌🏻
