@@tretvfrmdabx2544 your work is going to be seen promise that. I find people through artists an stay for the one's I enjoy watching with. You have a track I should watch first? ❤️
You guys are about to go down a deep rabbit hole with Ren's music. His fans are growing by the day and their appetite for his content has become voracious simply because of his honesty, hard work, and talent. He's currently in Canada seeking treatment for the damage done to his body over the years of his misdiagnosis, which turned out to be Lyme Disease. Welcome to the crew, guys, a diverse group of fans that support Ren's journey and his message that we all share, that we need to lift each other up. Division is becoming too strong, we need to show what we humans are capable of, compassion, empathy, love, and courage. Sending out best wishes to you and your viewers.
Not only just Lyme disease but all the long years worth of pain with misdiagnosis and not knowing and wanting to give up…. It’s so much deeper. I love the fan base and we all have mad respect! ❤
@@ScottyRosencrance-dq4pj lol, like many Renegades, I’ve watched countless reactions to his videos, lol! This last year of following his career and life has been pretty mind blowing, I continue to be impressed by Ren’s musicianship, his humanity, the way he brought his fans to together and how we all support one another. It’s also impressive how he and his team stay independent and I’m so proud to see young artists’ hard work pay off with recognition and awards. My generation didn’t have the resources they do today, to be independent artists and make a living you had to take it to the road back in my day. Even before I discovered Ren, I knew this generation was different, and I have great hopes for the future…the empathy and intellect they have shown combined with their fierce loyalty makes me look forward to things to come.
Here is some additional information on Ren's story that I gathered from old newspaper interviews, articles, and Ren's livestreams and posts where he discussed his condition. Ren Erin Gill is a British musician/independent artist; born in Wales on March 29, 1990; he eventually moved to Brighton. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, Ren began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. 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 and develop PTSD. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure. Ren is currently in Calgary, Canada for more treatments, including surgeries, and will have to be there for at least six months (Summer of 2023) undergoing IV and other interventions five days a week. Ren recently underwent wisdom tooth removal and cavitation surgery. In addition, his Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD), which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, adrenals as well as his bones/joints. Now, Ren is receiving additional treatments for this previously undiagnosed condition. Let's keep supporting Ren as he undergoes his treatments. Check out and subscribe to his channel, if you are a content creator, ask your audience to subscribe to Ren. Listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to the world, and his work is important in these troubling times. Someone has finally created a Wikipedia page for Ren, so there is additional information available. Here is the link to Ren’s GoFundMe page to raise money for his current treatment. Ren has exceeded his initial goal. However, his goal was very conservative and did not reflect the added costs of unforeseen surgical procedures, and treatment for additional health issues such as MCAD. www.gofundme.com/f/ren-get-better-from-lyme-disease-and-autoimmunity
He is telling his story. Suffered from voices as a child and then it all started again when he got Lyme disease as a teenager. Disabled with pain,depression ,psychosis and fatigue,spending years bedridden. 2 stem cell transplants brought him back in 2016 but he is still suffering from the ravages of the disease. Currently in Canada getting treatment. Ren has a statement out there explaining how he hoped to lay the demons to rest with this song. You did a great job guys. I subbed
Great reaction guys, I wasn't expecting Phrygian mode to be dropped in the convo 🙏👌All of Ren's videos are well worth reacting too, as well as his own music there is also the band he used to busk with called the Big Push. If you want bars, watch The Hunger, Illest of our time, Losing it, Genesis, Power, What you want, Money game pt 1 & 2... there are many more. If you want to hear him sing, Chalk outlines x Chinchilla, or Bongo bong, Englishman in New York... there are loads more, and all bangers
You really got the message! Thanks for the great reaction. Lots more Ren (and friends). You might like "Power", which also gives some background to his life. He does the beats, and production for his videos. Several videos are labeled "retake", which is British for "remix", where Ren adds his rap to an existing track. "Losing It" is pretty light and bouncy, and vocally impressive.
This was a live recording. If you want to see more of his theatrical/bard side, there's a trio of live recordings compiled into "The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)". It's more of a Shakespearian tragedy with music. You haven't seen anything like it. If you want to see his rap, check out "The Hunger", "Losing it (FISHER rap retake)", and the list just goes on.
You guys are a hoot! Thanks for reacting to this masterpiece. The end signified his resolution and how he was able to bring both sides together and accept both and live in peace as one healthy whole person.
This was a pleasant surprise 😊great reaction guys ❤loved that u commented at the end , ur channels gettin better and better 🔥🔥🔥u gotta hear Ren rap, his latest song Illest of our Time is amazing xxx
Rens tracks for the most part are bars, flows and cadence flips. Emotional punches and plenty of roller coasters. Then you find his band the big push. Then you wrap with him and chinchillas live videos.
An extra nice detail about him switching sides for each voice is how the guitar is placed As the evil side he's facing with the guitar neck out Infront of him. Reminiscent of like the barrel of a gun. He's on the attack When it's his weaker side he's facing with the body of the guitar Infront of him. Reminiscent of a shield. He's defending himself
I actually never thought about that but makes sense. I noticed the body language where he leans forward on the attack side and leans backwards on the defensive side but missed the guitar.
What an amazing take!!!! So amazing 11 months later and maybe hundreds of reactions later, that’s the first comment ive seen saying that. Great looking out
Ren one of most talented artist in the world g. Check him and Sam Tompkins street performances he can sing rap play multiple instruments beatbox and produce! Also he has Lyme disease and was misdiagnosed and put on the wrong medication which sent him insane his condition is still life threatening …talented warrior
Great reaction guys. Loved how you said he was "almost genius" a few times, but gave him full creds at the end. I'd love to suggest something else by Ren, for you to react to, but they're all gold. Perhaps his latest drop from a week or two ago. It's straight rap, and lyrically impressive
This was GREAT guys. Loved it ALOT. You really HAVE to do The Tale of Jenny and Screech Full. Beautiful, but WAY not pretty. Just found you guys . Subbed right away. Looking forward to more Ren
Seeing you guys react to this I'm subbed. It's great to see people that honestly get it. This is the perfect music to smoke weed to and understand and think deeply about this because he is soo deep that a little drugs help. Love from Ireland and the Uk
Great reaction! When I saw the Hendrix shirt I smiled. interesting you mentioned The Fifth Element. Another great example of non lyrical singing is Pink Floyd's Great Gig in the sky at the Pulse concert. The recorded version is better but the live version is more visual with amazing lighting. Ren always reminds of Floyd with his great depths into life. He is the real deal.
I've watched so many reactors discover Ren through this song and then go down the Ren rabbit hole. This was one of my best experiences, as I sat back, had a toke, and took the journey with you. Enjoyed it and your perspective. Subbed and on to more of your reactions.
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole guys! So much stuff to react to and so varied. He is a rap star, a bard, a story teller and a singer. He plays guitar, bass and piano/keyboard and produces. You can even hear him beatbox in some of his songs. He does collaborations, duets, and retakes (remixes) and his band The Big Push does some creative and cool covers as well as their own songs. You won’t be disappointed. He lifts people up and inspires his fans to do the same…go!!!
Thank you... Ren was spotted busking on the streets and signed by Sony...unfortunately he became ill and was diagnosed with chronic fatigue and told it was all in his head...for 7 or do years he grew sicker and was given a selection of different drugs that didn't help and he recorded a plea for help (which is on his community page) which was seen by a doctor in America. The doctor offered him experimental stem cell surgery for free if he could get to America.... He was a little better after 2 surgeries and eventually went to see another specialist in Brussels where he was finally correctly diagnosed with Lymes Disease (from a tick bite) unfortunately the years of incorrect treatments resulted in the Lymes causing brain and autoimmune damage... Ren is currently in Canada recieving further treatment for that damage... Ren wrote and recorded music throughout his years of illness.... Creating beats,music and playing guitars, drums, piano, cello and singing kept him from giving up... Thank uou for taking the time to react to Hi Ren....much love and blessings 🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧
"If Eminem was to have a baby, it would be this right here" had me rolling.. Your reaction was so genuine and thoughtful. Thank you for that. You've earned my sub. ☺️☺️
Great reaction guys! If you want to hear him rap rap (and he can RAP RAP!!!) check out ‘Genesis’ ‘Power’ ‘illest of our time’ and ‘Hunger’. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Love from the UK.🇬🇧
I think I may have seen this Reaction a year ago - shocked that I didn’t ❤ it. It’s the kind of honest, thoughtful and knowledgeable Reaction this channel is known for. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fantastic reaction! I've subscribed to you; looking forward to more of your stuff. (Also, check out more Ren -- he has so many styles from straight rap to pop covers, from fun to really, really dark. Enjoy the rabbit hole...)
Great reaction to this true GENIUS... I'm sure you're about to find this out. Liked & subscribed in anticipation of you reacting to more Ren. Cheers lads 🍻👍
You hit the nail on the head with your reaction. And this is just the tip of the Ren iceberg! Look forward to more Ren reactions from you guys. When you mentioned him doing his music for the streets, that's exactly what he did for years as a street performer (busker). Subbed.
Thanks for the reaction guys. This was the first song I heard from Ren back in December and I've enjoyed everything I have heard so far, from his past catalog and his releases since then. Also, FYI, Ren has a new song dropping on May 4th at 3pm EST, called 'Animal Flow'. The premier set up on his RUclips channel has a 'Preview' and it's OMG..The preview itself is worth a watch. Again he want to set the 'mood' of the song to get us prepared.
Thanks for diving into Ren's material. As you say, he's connecting with fans outside mainstream commercial channels. He's also connecting with so many different communities, black, white, rap, reggae, rock. He's a force of Nature. A species wide catalyst? Like Neo in the Matrix?! We shall see. I highly recommend "I shot the Sheriff" "The Hunger" and "Money Games Part 2" to get a taste of Ren's creative talent and range. Then in 9 days he's dropping his new song "Animal Flow" which connects with George Orwell's book Animal Farm. Ren's rabbit hole goes deep. Follow the white rabbit!!!
Man, that's one of the best reactions to this video that I've seen. I know the song well, so it did not bother me at all how much you stopped and gave your thoughts, and your thoughts are why we are watching it. And, I took my passes with you.
Loved the reaction video! Love your hat, Tre. (go Cowboys!) This young man was but by a tick at 17 years old and contracted Lyme disease. He's been fighting since. And didn't he bring it home at the end?! Absolutely killer video. Thank you for covering it!
Like the fifth element reference, not heard that one mentioned before but see where your coming from. 👍 Nice reaction guys, glad you appreciated this masterpiece 👏👏👏
I've watched a LOT of "Hi Ren" reaction videos. Smiled when I saw a Hendrix t-shirt --- knew then it was going to be a fun one. It was more than fun though. The conversation and observations were genuine and insightful. Vibe was immaculate. Will be seeking out more from you both.
New sub! I enjoyed y'alls review. I look forward to going down this Ren rabbit hole with y'all. I'm a 45 year old momma who loves a wide range of music..but Ren is special!
I AM SO GLAD U ACTUALLY noticed the fifth element similarity! Out of all the reactors on this song you and one other are the only two that commennted on it!😁 It hit me as soon as i heard it and i don't know if it was inspiration for that part or purely coincidental, but i love and appreciate it either way!
Love this reaction , u guys are great 👍.... when u head down the ren rabbit hole I promise u u will be blown away... his vocals are beyond Tale of jenny and screech full . ull love , it's hard hiting... both his duets with chinchilla are stunning ... Money game pt 1 and 2 are pure brilliance , I shot the sheriff live .. he is a true artist . He does all this live and does in loads of his stuff ... welcome to ren 😊
Man y'all appreciated this. Fun to watch you both react to it. And fun to watch you pass that smoke. I'm an old white guy it's fun to watch two handsome young black guys appreciate this incredible piece of art. Nothing has ever been done like this. I had Pink Floyd and Yes and Compton boys. None of them could have done this❤.
Wow 5th Element Blue Lady! Great call! To me it sounds like the beginning and end to those old Spaghetti Westerns. The Spanish guitar followed the same melody as his voice
That was too funny I thought I was the only one rocking too Honey Cocaine..love Ren and watch almost every reaction to his stuff...it is honestly getting hard to keep up with viewing reactions to his stuff..this is typed before getting past your first pause lol
Great reaction! You both made some very interesting observations..and I can't tell you how excited I was to see that Hendrix shirt, knowing what was coming...😂 Please keep digging into Ren's music!
Beautiful, beautiful reaction. You got the vibe 💯 I welcome you to the journey. We are a community, a cult, or a family whichever way you see it I guess. And you are right, so many people can relate to this and are helped by knowing they are not alone…. They feel heard and seen by the words images and harmony. Realness and vulnerability does that. He’s been thru some shit. Still healing rn. You guys are awesome! ❤️🔥👆
I got "Fifth Element" vibes outta those vocals too. The setting, then him playing nylon string acoustic, and then those vocals kinda blows everyone's mind. And I've likely watched this a hundred times by now. Every time, the vocals make no sense in the beginning, but then do when he brings them back at the end of the song. It's brilliant. It is the song that the light and the dark dance to eternally. Oooh ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo...! Blessings.
The 5th Element wasn't Chris Rock it was Chris Tucker 🤣 😁 I had to pause because I thought about Will Smith walking up and slapping Plava Lagoona midway in her performance.
OMGosh, I have watched so many reactions of this song & always wondered where I’ve heard that tune before when he does the high oo oo’s & you’re right! The fifth element with the blue alien lady!
A few of Rens tales start and end with this country western type of hook as in there is about to be a "showdown" All of his stuff is so good and Ren doesn't fit into any 1 genre...he's so refreshing and I love all his stuff, he's a great singer, rapper. I can't get enough and everytime I hear this song I cry a little especially when he sings "so cower at the man I've become" I just lose my shit everytime. It's nice to hear you guys dissect his bars too because he plays a lot with the double entendres like EM does. Thanks for reviewing him, it's great to see more and more people appreciate real artists!
Yes it feels like a masterpiece after you have listened to your first time. Btw, trust me, you can have that song affect you 200 times in a row. Truly a masterpiece of entertainment and performance and art in music.
You're not kidding. I've seen Ren's video at least 50 times in the last 3 days, it still brings me to fucking tears so easily. It is absolutely astounding, what an incredible piece of art.
New subscriber from downunder. Ren is a total allrounder musically. He does everything himself:writes, produces, makes his own beats, street performances (busking) with friends and his band The Big Push, plays piano, bass guitar, classical guitar, acoustic, electric, raps, does one take videos with his friend/cinematographer Samuel Perry-Falvey (Hi Ren-nominated for 4 awards at the Official Prague Video Awards 2023 including best video and best video under 3K budget). He also has lyric videos and one take videos with crazy good social commentary that’s very contemporary and hard hitting. I am so impressed and I haven’t heard a song yet that I don’t enjoy and relate to on all levels. This is some of the best music I’ve heard in a very long time. Cheers from Tasmania, Australia 👋👋🦘🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺✌🏼
Bro you nailed it with the diva from 5th element!! I always loved that scene and I have watched every his video 100 times and didn’t put that together!
This young man has been through a lot. He simply is utterly brilliant, talented& gifted. I adore him 🙏❤️ I am so happy for is ongoing success now, well deserved
Been listening to several reactions on this song. First time someone mentioned the Fifth Element blue lady for the high notes. It's not the same but now you mentioned it i can't stop seeing that link. 👍
Great reaction. Please check out more of Ren's music, The Tales of Jenny and Screech (3 songs) in order all together. Genesis, The Hunger, Chalk Outlines (live) and his band The Big Push doing I shot The Sherif/Road To Zion/Hiphop and Warpigs 😊
Dude!!!! A rare and obscure reference to, not only the film, Fifth Element but also the operatic performance in it??!!! Yeah you deserve subs for that my guy.
oh how interesting, a friend just showed me this clip and said "YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS MAN!" ♡ ...such fascinating poetry, happy to see a reaction to it!!♡

You hit the nail on the head with your reaction. And this is just the tip of the Ren iceberg! Look forward to more Ren reactions from you guys. When you mentioned him doing his music for the streets, that's exactly what he did for years as a street performer (busker). Subbed.
Great content- y’all “got it” and had mad appreciation for this incredible art. I enjoyed the reaction thank you
Great Reaction guys! can't wait for you to checkout more Ren
Great reaction guys….. looking forward to your next Ren reaction ❤
He's, I will just say it, Prince level genius. He's going to do things we can't imagine.
Thanks for the reaction guys. This was the first song I heard from Ren back in December and I've enjoyed everything I have heard so far, from his past catalog and his releases since then. Also, FYI, Ren has a new song dropping on May 4th at 3pm EST, called 'Animal Flow'. The premier set up on his RUclips channel has a 'Preview' and it's OMG..The preview itself is worth a watch. Again he want to set the 'mood' of the song to get us prepared.
Thanks for diving into Ren's material. As you say, he's connecting with fans outside mainstream commercial channels. He's also connecting with so many different communities, black, white, rap, reggae, rock. He's a force of Nature. A species wide catalyst? Like Neo in the Matrix?! We shall see. I highly recommend "I shot the Sheriff" "The Hunger" and "Money Games Part 2" to get a taste of Ren's creative talent and range. Then in 9 days he's dropping his new song "Animal Flow" which connects with George Orwell's book Animal Farm. Ren's rabbit hole goes deep. Follow the white rabbit!!!
Man, that's one of the best reactions to this video that I've seen. I know the song well, so it did not bother me at all how much you stopped and gave your thoughts, and your thoughts are why we are watching it. And, I took my passes with you.
This is my first time seeing y'all. I have every word of this memorized 😅
I subbed and can't wait to see more Ren and hopefully Chinchilla, too! ❤
Loved the reaction video! Love your hat, Tre. (go Cowboys!) This young man was but by a tick at 17 years old and contracted Lyme disease. He's been fighting since. And didn't he bring it home at the end?! Absolutely killer video. Thank you for covering it!
Just found Ren a few days ago and you guys today! Plan on watching more of both! Thanks!
You two did a fantastic review! Not only am I hooked on Ren, I am hooked on your reviews! I’ll be back to your channel. Thank you!
Like the fifth element reference, not heard that one mentioned before but see where your coming from. 👍
Nice reaction guys, glad you appreciated this masterpiece 👏👏👏
I've watched a LOT of "Hi Ren" reaction videos. Smiled when I saw a Hendrix t-shirt --- knew then it was going to be a fun one. It was more than fun though. The conversation and observations were genuine and insightful. Vibe was immaculate. Will be seeking out more from you both.
New sub! I enjoyed y'alls review. I look forward to going down this Ren rabbit hole with y'all. I'm a 45 year old momma who loves a wide range of music..but Ren is special!
I AM SO GLAD U ACTUALLY noticed the fifth element similarity! Out of all the reactors on this song you and one other are the only two that commennted on it!😁 It hit me as soon as i heard it and i don't know if it was inspiration for that part or purely coincidental, but i love and appreciate it either way!
Love this reaction , u guys are great 👍.... when u head down the ren rabbit hole I promise u u will be blown away... his vocals are beyond
Tale of jenny and screech full .
ull love , it's hard hiting... both his duets with chinchilla are stunning ...
Money game pt 1 and 2 are pure brilliance ,
I shot the sheriff live ..
he is a true artist . He does all this live and does in loads of his stuff ... welcome to ren 😊
Great reaction welcome to ren some amazing music 🎶🎶🎶 to come love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍
new sub here for more ren! the hunger is 🔥
Subbing for more ren ❤
Great reaction! Oh, and 15:35 You're thinking of Criss Tucker... You had me do a double take on that one. :)
New sub from the UK, love that you guys got it immediately, Ren is a str8 genius
Man y'all appreciated this. Fun to watch you both react to it. And fun to watch you pass that smoke. I'm an old white guy it's fun to watch two handsome young black guys appreciate this incredible piece of art. Nothing has ever been done like this. I had Pink Floyd and Yes and Compton boys. None of them could have done this❤.
Wow 5th Element Blue Lady! Great call!
To me it sounds like the beginning and end to those old Spaghetti Westerns. The Spanish guitar followed the same melody as his voice
Ren lived it.
That was too funny I thought I was the only one rocking too Honey Cocaine..love Ren and watch almost every reaction to his stuff...it is honestly getting hard to keep up with viewing reactions to his stuff..this is typed before getting past your first pause lol
I'm from the UK and I never heard of the bul, decent message
Yeah more Ren you will be amazed at everything he does.
Great reaction guys! Subbed for more Ren!
Great reaction! You both made some very interesting observations..and I can't tell you how excited I was to see that Hendrix shirt, knowing what was coming...😂 Please keep digging into Ren's music!
Loved this reaction. Lots of cool perspectives.
Beautiful, beautiful reaction.
You got the vibe 💯
I welcome you to the journey.
We are a community, a cult, or a family whichever way you see it I guess. And you are right, so many people can relate to this and are helped by knowing they are not alone…. They feel heard and seen by the words images and harmony. Realness and vulnerability does that. He’s been thru some shit. Still healing rn. You guys are awesome! ❤️🔥👆
Absolutely LOVE y’all’s reaction! And HOLY FUCKING SHIZ - you’re 100% right about the “Fifth Element” reference! That’s one of my favorite movies
I got "Fifth Element" vibes outta those vocals too. The setting, then him playing nylon string acoustic, and then those vocals kinda blows everyone's mind. And I've likely watched this a hundred times by now. Every time, the vocals make no sense in the beginning, but then do when he brings them back at the end of the song. It's brilliant. It is the song that the light and the dark dance to eternally. Oooh ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo...! Blessings.
I’ve watched 10+ reactions to this and been waiting for someone to mention the 5th Element singer. Nice work!
You've got yourself a new subscriber for going down the Ren rabbit hole 🙌🏻
You earned a like and a sub . A lot of ppl totally miss his message . You were spot on and insightful and thoughtful . Thanks . ❤
Yooo, you are the first reactors I’ve seen that caught the fifth element sound… big ups!!
The 5th Element wasn't Chris Rock it was Chris Tucker 🤣 😁 I had to pause because I thought about Will Smith walking up and slapping Plava Lagoona midway in her performance.
OMGosh, I have watched so many reactions of this song & always wondered where I’ve heard that tune before when he does the high oo oo’s & you’re right! The fifth element with the blue alien lady!
Check out Ren - The Tale of Jenny and Screech(full) 🇬🇧🔥💯
Enjoyable reaction Gentlemen - well done/said and thank you for the video.
First time I’ve seen you guys - Great reaction! Appreciated your comments and insight - Excellent!
I know I am super late, but thank you for this. You were both so real and this was such an enjoyable reaction video.
Great reactions guys!!! Love your sense of humor!
This is Ren's truth. Real struggles. He is a Genuine Artist ❤
Great reaction!
Watching from Ireland you guys are great and are further a field than you know. Great reaction love Ren. Best of luck guys ❤
A few of Rens tales start and end with this country western type of hook as in there is about to be a "showdown"
All of his stuff is so good and Ren doesn't fit into any 1 genre...he's so refreshing and I love all his stuff, he's a great singer, rapper. I can't get enough and everytime I hear this song I cry a little especially when he sings "so cower at the man I've become" I just lose my shit everytime. It's nice to hear you guys dissect his bars too because he plays a lot with the double entendres like EM does. Thanks for reviewing him, it's great to see more and more people appreciate real artists!
This is the first reaction I’ve seen from you fellas and you now have a new sub.
One of the best reation vids I've seen...ever.
Thoutful with humor and great insight.
Thank you!
Ren is another lyrical genius. His music and video is so theatrical. Definitely enjoying your catalog of indie artist. 👍👍🔥🔥😎😎
Believe me his life was the inspiration and you wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Yes it feels like a masterpiece after you have listened to your first time. Btw, trust me, you can have that song affect you 200 times in a row. Truly a masterpiece of entertainment and performance and art in music.
You're not kidding. I've seen Ren's video at least 50 times in the last 3 days, it still brings me to fucking tears so easily. It is absolutely astounding, what an incredible piece of art.
New subscriber from downunder. Ren is a total allrounder musically. He does everything himself:writes, produces, makes his own beats, street performances (busking) with friends and his band The Big Push, plays piano, bass guitar, classical guitar, acoustic, electric, raps, does one take videos with his friend/cinematographer Samuel Perry-Falvey (Hi Ren-nominated for 4 awards at the Official Prague Video Awards 2023 including best video and best video under 3K budget). He also has lyric videos and one take videos with crazy good social commentary that’s very contemporary and hard hitting. I am so impressed and I haven’t heard a song yet that I don’t enjoy and relate to on all levels. This is some of the best music I’ve heard in a very long time. Cheers from Tasmania, Australia 👋👋🦘🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺✌🏼
WOW 5th Element. I've watched many reactions to this and you're the first to bring it up. I knew it reminded me of something. 👍
Gentleman, fire reaction… smooth vibes, great insight and just chilled with the message 🙏
Bro you nailed it with the diva from 5th element!! I always loved that scene and I have watched every his video 100 times and didn’t put that together!
You guys do a perfect job appreciating everything.
This young man has been through a lot. He simply is utterly brilliant, talented& gifted.
I adore him 🙏❤️
I am so happy for is ongoing success now, well deserved
Great video, guys. I really enjoyed listening to your views on this. Will definitely be watching more of your videos!
Been listening to several reactions on this song. First time someone mentioned the Fifth Element blue lady for the high notes.
It's not the same but now you mentioned it i can't stop seeing that link. 👍
Love your reactions! You have great insights and I love watching you two together.
So glad you nailed 5th Element!! Sounded so familiar to me also!! Bravo!
One of the most intelligent and insightful reactions I've seen, thank you!
Wow, thank you!
Great reaction. Please check out more of Ren's music, The Tales of Jenny and Screech (3 songs) in order all together. Genesis, The Hunger, Chalk Outlines (live) and his band The Big Push doing I shot The Sherif/Road To Zion/Hiphop and Warpigs 😊
Dude!!!! A rare and obscure reference to, not only the film, Fifth Element but also the operatic performance in it??!!! Yeah you deserve subs for that my guy.
Thank u
oh how interesting, a friend just showed me this clip and said "YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS MAN!" ♡ ...such fascinating poetry, happy to see a reaction to it!!♡
