- I was not expecting this profound of a performance and display of writing! Once again a simple reaction video has found away to make me re-think what I should expect in today's industry. Hi Ren is nothing less than an emotional musical masterpiece, and YOU need to see it! Period.
Original video: Hi Ren
• Ren - Hi Ren (Official...
Get a better camera!
you want to buy me a new camera? WOW, thanx.. you are so cool. HEY EVERYBODY, Jeffrey grubbs said he wants to buy me a new camera... can you believe that? so awesome. thanx grub
I'm confused. What's wrong with her camera? I know I have bad eye sight but I can clearly see her beauty with the one she has.
@@themcsyoutubechannel the fact that you pinned this petty comment makes you awesome in my book! 🤣
@@tommyv1270 hey thank you!
jeffery grubbs thanks for offering get her a new camera ! Sooooooo kind of you !
It's been 20 years. I finally heard something absolutely original, right down to the non-borrowed chords. Keep that noose on your throat loose..
Ren is a Poet, a Singer, a Rapper, a Musician, a Composer, a Songwriter, a Storyteller, an Actor.......An ARTIST. He's completely in a class by himself. He's a mix between the singer/songwriters of the 70s and the Bards of the 16th/17th century. He self-identifies his "genre" as BARDCORE. Ren was also a part of a band, "the Big Push"; they've got a bunch of videos also, especially of them playing live.
Ren has suffered the last 10+ years with mis-diagnosed Lyme disease. He went into the doctors complaining of pain all over his body and joints. As they never found what was causing it, they instead said it was all in his head and treated him with psych-active/tropic drugs. Meanwhile, the Lyme not only damaged his body but also his brain. He's currently in Canada trying to heal his body.
One thing that I never heard you mention, maybe because as a performer it's what you're use to and didn't find it So special is, that was done entirely LIVE. No pre-recorded music and lip-syncing in this video. Yes, there were multiple camera angles, but it was still LIVE (you can see the mic at the top of his gown).
Just to echo/add to the excellent summary from John.... only recently discovered this magnificent talent, although I'd see stuff by The Big Push previously. It's when you compare the drive/vigour and raw energy of The BP's music, with this post BP work (the band is no more, other than fabulous videos on YT) and realise the reasons for Ren's long term illness, that the full scale of this man's talent and versatility come into sharp focus. I really hope his current treatment gives him some long term peace and that he goes on to secure the fame that his talent demands. I have rarely, if ever, been so dramatically affected by a piece of art.
Lyme disease is known in the medical profession as the great pretender because it mimicks so many other diseases and also often remains hidden or dormant for years or decades.
All this alone makes it incredibly difficult to diagnose what what makes it even harder most people who go to develop symptoms don’t even realise that they’ve ever been bitten by a tick because especially if bitten by an immature tick, they are almost impossible to spot, being about the size of a pin head.
The percentage of undiagnosed people with Lyme’s is huge and growing as Lymes becomes more and more widespread.
Conversely it seems some people appear to be lucky and have a natural immunity to Lymes.
This is a horrible affliction that we still understand very little about. This is unlikely to change significantly in the near future.
Spot on, John!
Excellently explained Mate .
Except for the Bardy part, Ren is sort of another Prince. A do-it-yourselfer.
Ren is THE most versatile artist I have come across. And belive me, I've had a lot of time 🤣 he reaches forward and grabs your soul
NFfNF
Go check out NF
I'm in complete agreement. This can't be viewed as a song, but a piece of artwork. He's obviously talented with the guitar, probably classically trained. The cadence of his music, even singing a capella, is on point, the range of his vocals and guttural stops are insane. The depth of his lyrics gives us all ACTUAL substance that we want, and can all relate to. The man isn't afraid to be vulnerable, and it is that authenticity that's lacking in the mainstream.
I just discovered Ren, and only heard this song a several times. This was really an impressing piece of art, and I surthenly will dive in to more Ren.
If you like versatile artists, one of my favorite artists are Hua Chenyu.
im a 60 year old martial arts student, been on it for like 35 years. when i saw Ren for the first time performing that, it got me, deep inside me as a human, it touched me, and i cried. hes an amazing storyteller, and a wise one if you ask me. respect for Ren, what he does, and how he does it. nuf said for me:D
This guy is a special talent. and right now he needs all the support he can get. he is presently in Canada getting help with his physical issues and sharing his stuff across all platforms will help him enormously.
I'm 60 yrs. Ren is one of the most creative people it has been my pleasure to experience. He is just so good at everything. pure breath of fresh air.
I enjoyed your reaction.
I have noticed that there are so many older people who seem to love Ren, I am 58 years old myself. His fans seem to be very diverse in every regard. He is just such an amazing artist, and this song in particular makes me emotional each time I hear it....which has been many times since first discovering it last week. I have been watching reactions to it endlessly....lol. It just feels so inspirational when he stands and delivers that knockout verse !!!
@Cindi Aker Same here! 66 years old and obsessed with this young extremely talented man. I've had his songs in my head for weeks now....😆
If God that is such a tragedy for a super talented young artist, to discover you write music , which is liked by a large percentage of people with ‘one foot in the grave’
I mean it’s great they like it it’s just tragic if it’s’ the majority of his audience, ‘cos few of these old buzzards are gonna be buying music or going to gigs.
@@supertuscans9512 Although I'm feeling a bit butt hurt about the "old buzzards with one foot in the grave" remark, you're right that we won't be going out to the concerts. 😆 I hope younger people connect to Ren. Sad if they don't.
Hmmm I think I'm still cougar aged at 46 😅 and would totally go to a show... I think his music just speaks to a diverse audience is all
Isn't he just the best thing around? Beautiful reaction! Hi Ren should have a disclaimer at the start to warn that this song is highly addictive and will have you hooked on Ren for life!
For a change of pace, check out some of his live busking performances with his group "the Big Push"
@@stevenmeyer9674 Yeah, I've seen some videos of him busking alone too just Raw Ren!
I’ve been beating myself up for days - years! - so I felt like screaming; this song helped me stop.
Same as that I’ve never thought of the voices as the devil and god as I’m not religious but this has helped me turn the volume down on the devil 👿 I feel so much lighter
The most impressive part to me is that his videos are mostly one shot, all performed live and super well choreographed.
FYI, this was a single shot. While there are multiple cams, he did all of this in a single shot.
A single shot.
You're the first person to react to his line "I've spent half my life ill". Just a little grimace, but I've always felt that line was so sad, and no one seems to notice it. So subbed for that alone.
that one got me!
Nice reaction.
This should be part of every high school curriculum.
A modern day Bard. In that a bard is a musical storytelling artist. You won't be disappointed.
I've never known a song to spawn so many reaction videos in so short a time. Well done Ren, well deserved recognition for a great artist!
I have severe mental illness. This song resonates with me.
thank you for sharing my friend!
Ren is a modern day bard.
He is a brilliant artist in every respect, he was misdiagnosed for years ,living in sickness and mental health issues when he actually had Lyme disease which has compromised his immune system among several other very serious health conditions, he is currently here in Canada undergoing daily iv treatments and treatments to try to heal the neuro pathways in his brain with surgeries lurking down the road, he is a wordsmith, a rapper, singer and amazingly brilliant storyteller, great reaction, i suggest, The Hunger or The Money Game parts 1 and 2 from him.
I love the way he didn't play the last note, because his song is not over. It goes on.
i am a julia too :) Love ren. I am 55 and grew up listening to the best- reminds me of being excited about music again. I also have had a severe chronic illness for 30 years so his work speaks to me.
Negative self talk is brutal - and many people suffer from it. This recording is live, which makes it that much more impressive.
I just heard Ren for the first time less than 2 weeks ago. I have not been this invested in an artist ever. 😊 I’m so happy that people are sharing this and keeping the momentum going.
FRESH doesn't even begin to describe the artistry Ren shares with us mortals- he's a special dude.
Nearly EVERY reaction I saw ends this with silence, "wow", "profound" and "i have not the vocabluary to describe this". Also the moment the reactors are captured in the moment when he talks to the intimest feelings in us at the end is fabulous. Watch them breath heavier as it is beginning to hit even the "hardest" males.
Welcome to Ren!! Great reaction!
He is bringing all of us together
Your channel is small so far, but I think that will change. I see you're both smart and expressive, aware of various genres, and capable of finding life-changing music early!
I'm subscribed now, happy to support your growth. I look forward to seeing more Ren with you. This was his big break, but he's got lots of great work out there!
Then, when you're ready for rapid expansion, I'd highly recommend Nightwish, too. Very different genres, of course (symphonIc metal vs whatever Ren is doing...rap, mostly?), but like Ren, Nightwish has amazingly poetic lyrics, emotional pull, and an enthusiastic fan base.
Best of luck on your YT journey!
thank you !
I loved how Ren's creative intensity and your responsivity flowed so harmoniously together.
Great reaction! Ren is really bringing out the best in some reactors, making them break down and come to terms with serious issues on mental health and awareness. Well played. I would say maybe after you pause to rewind it by 10 seconds or so? It allows the flow to almost reset without starting exactly where you stopped it and possibly miss any meaning or musical crescendo. A tonne of top reactors always go back a little bit and I think it's helps. Just and observation. Keep going!
Great reaction, this song is genius!
Ren is a break-out artist, that is just beginning to get some of the attention he deserves. I’m drawn to profound meaning and emotions in art and music, and this guy’s got it in spades. Good job on your reaction!
This line is so damn deep, "As I got older I realised that there were no real winners, Or no real losers in physiological warfare, But there were victims and there were students"
Psychological warfare meaning the lies, games and tricks our own minds play on us. Inner thoughts telling us one minute such positive and happy thoughts only to be trampled over and crushed by the thoughts of how worthless we are, we should give up whatever we do as individuals that we enjoy or do to express ourselves as individuals. But that Negative Bias we've been hardwired with since man first walked the earth and we needed it to survive back then, but now it only serves to destroy our own hopes and dreams with thoughts and words no one else can hear but us.
And when he said, "But there were victims and students" meaning are you going to roll over and let that war inside your head keep you depressed, beaten and broken? Or will you learn from it, grow and be in better control of those thoughts when they arise.
This was a great reaction. I am so glad that he brought me to you. I am a first time viewer and an instant subscriber.
This performance is sending shock waves around the world.
It's so relatable to people in all walks of life.
We all have inner struggles and demons that we have to go through.
Whether it's doubt, self esteem, addiction or mental health issues.
So, people are finding a connection to an unexpected place.
Each other.
I have seen reactors as well as people in the comments section telling stories about their own personal struggles and how they are coping each day.
An amazing amount of people are reaching out, saying that they felt alone in their battle.
To find an astounding amount of people saying that same exact thing.
Proving the point, a falsehood the way no words can.
I think that with just one song, he has proven his own words true.
He IS a genius and the waves that he is creating are tsunami in scale.
This may be more important than he could ever imagine.
Beautifully written, I feel the love you have for our musical savior of sorts.
@@scottwatson9453 I really appreciate your reply.
Have the best day ever. 😸
@@dawnpatterson8708And you have the best Life ever!! 😊
Beautifully put, Dawn. Stay amazing!
Great reaction. New subscriber. Welcome to the amazing rabbit hole that is the music of Ren. He is a phenomenon, a truly incredible artist.
Awesome thank you!
I had the exact same reaction the first time I heard this. The creative artistry, on every level, is second to none. The topic, the musicality, the setting, the cinematography ( I love the use of lighting, which helps emphasise the contrast between his two identities ) the lyrics and the passion of their delivery, the vocal control, the diction ( even at pace ), the incredible guitar techniques, the fact that a 9 minute song can hold our attention so intently for every millisecond. This is flawless, meaningful art and medication for the soul. I have posted so many links, of the song, and its reactionary videos, to my social media sites and I know, instantly, from the comments i receive, those " friends " who understand the difference between nice music and creative genius. I would suggest ; those who truly understand this incredible piece, have experienced some degree of mental health issues or at the very least understand the constant internal struggle of the human condition. Those who aren't emotionally moved by this piece of creative genius are, probably, the lucky ones who stroll through life without any real concerns or set backs.
Definitely a performance that has a haunting effect.
Loved seeing someone appreciate him like I do. I think this kid is special.
He is so original , insightful and versatile guitarist
Nice to see a reaction of yours, really enjoyed watching you see the artistry that is Ren. I hope to see you do more Ren reactions. I am now going to look at your other reactions. I really hope to see a reaction to a song by LP. If you haven't reacted to her you should. Her blend of opera and folk vocals is something I think you'll find intriguing.
A work of art, a master piece.
That was the word i came to first....PROFOUND, and left me in tears and fighting for words.
Had to donate to Ren, and share him with everyone I know.
Great react @The MC"s Channel
Violets Tale hits hard for me x
subbed, great reaction, more Ren please! Peace and love from Bavaria!
Great genuine reaction. I stumbled upon Ren a couple months ago. I am amazed at his sincere emotional delivery of sounds and content that reinforce each other. Masterful artist, actor and entertainer.
That was a really insightful reaction, thank you. Can I suggest you take a look at Rens trilogy, The Tale of Jenny and Screech, there is a live version on here, performed in Brighton, UK. It's actually a 360 performance, so you get to see the crowds reaction too. Peace ✌🏻
Thank you for such a heartwarming and honest reaction and for helping bring Ren's music to a wider audience.
If you thought this was an emotional musical masterpiece, then check out his triogy The Tale of Jenny and Screech (the full version has all 3 in one video). It blows this out of the water in terms of emotional impact and storytelling ability. Genuinely a modern day Shakespearean tragedy in 3 parts.
got you!
Two completely different topics. One is personal, the other a three part play. Both fantastic and also unfair to compare them.
I have been obsessed with "Hi Ren" reactions. I love yours!!! First time hearing you. New Subscriber! Would you consider doing "The Tale of Jenny & Screech"?
thaNK YOU SO MUCH FOR THat, but wow, this song did it!
It is a wonderful moment when true beauty pops up in my feed, a Rossetti 'Wilding' for the U Tube age, so Thank You for that ! Who would see that jump from Tolkein's lyricism to REN's poetry, but you're right it is there. Lovely sensitive reaction also. On a personal level, I have been following REN most of this year for many reasons. It's a relief actually ! Not to be continually harking back ... to Bach, Zeppelin, Nina Simone and Billy H, Coltrane, Sabbath etc And as you say this speaking truth to things, directly and with poetry, through so many artistic mechanisms is remarkable, I'm hooked. Is REN our hybrid Savant, our fluid chameleon genius ? I do hope you react some more to his work.
I think that was a beautiful reaction.
And you made me cry with it on this one
You might like this particular Ren video. It's one of those rare songs that I can't get out of my head. It's a duet, and was recorded a year ago, and it's titled: 'Ren X Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines (live)'. It isn't exactly opera, but it's hauntingly beautiful, especially with the two voices blended together:
ruclips.net/video/35yALr_opeg/видео.html
I appreciate your use of "profound" at the end. Its always been my best explanation of Ren and his work. ALL of his work.
Hi really interested to see an opera singer react to this, there’s definitely an operatic quality to this, musical storytelling connecting human emotions to big biblical/eternal themes. His sung introduction put me in mind of the Queen of the Night aria from the Magic Flute; which also paints a musical journey through day and night towards a deeper understanding of love and happiness.
Absolute masterpiece by my favourite artist of all time. Loved your reaction. You seem so kind and gentle. And respectfully from one woman to another, you are stunning! 🖤
i love ren and especially this song of im, but this video also shows what a wonderful person you are - you can see how you go with im through his emotions and thoughts - i was able to experience the song even deeper through your reaction to his music, the expressions in the face - thank you!
awww thank you!
Jennys tale, Screechs Tale, Violets Tale (full)
Enjoy :)
I thought about Golem, too!!! It's one of my favorite scenes from Lord of the Rings. You are the first reactor who makes this connection (I've watched about 15, I think). I love your facial reactions, too :)
Wow, thank you!
I'm so happy he's getting the attention he deserves. I've been his fan for years now, and I've hoped for this moment. Thank you so much for the reaction, it was great!!
10 second rewind helps reset the mood of the song. I know you understand. You are awesome. You do let the songs run and feel the emotions. Thank you.
Thank you, unfortunately RUclips is mad about that... lol, so we may have to have a few more stops in future videos, but we will always try to keep it as inspiring as possible
Sometimes a piece of artistic work comes along that changes everything. When I first heard this piece I was blown away by the writing, then I was blown by the visuals of the dichotomy of the inner and outer characters, then I was blown away when I put the pieces together.
I sat quietly for awhile and realized I had just witnessed one of the greatest pieces of art I have ever seen. To recognize in words that voice we all have both inner and outer than defines who we are.
Our experience, our mental shape, our dreams and hopes and our regrets.
I think over time this song and performance may be seen as one the greatest works of art to shape humanity in 10 generations. In an era of AI where braindead souls ask a machine for help, here we have a guy trying to figure himself out by himself and doing a damn fine job at it.
You had my sub at LoTR fan!! lol.
This man is an amazing performance artist...amongst other things.
Ren Has Become Our Wren
A Bird that is beautiful and frail
Yet the song his reaches beyond the visual
In the face of adversity the song becomes everything we need to hold onto
A must watch is Jennys tale, screechs tale, violet's tale.
But it MUST be in that order.
Now 😢
That was great, thanks mate!
You looked suitably stunned 😆
I've been watching the reactions since it came out, and finally someone mentioned Gollum.
And....this is a live piece of performance art. There are very few, if any, perceptible edits. He's jacked in, mic'ed up and wailing on this.
A masterpiece
Watch his announcement of this video. It’s hard to watch but important that people do.
A very beautiful reaction. I'm loving watching reactions to Hi Ren almost as much as I enjoy watching Hi Ren. This man has taken art to a new level. Hope he changes the world. Thank you for this very real and very genuine reaction.
Thank you so much 😁
@@themcsyoutubechannel You're very welcome. My brother hates this, and thinks Ren is nuts, lol. He's a cranky old musician though : )
10/10 Very honest reaction! Keep the good work :)
Great reaction thank you, i just discover Ren 3 days ago hes amazing, cant stop watching ppl reaction to this track its really touching. Can you do NF-Hope, hes a great artist too, im sure you will love it.
That was a journey....it was amazing & I loved it 🔥🙏🔥
Ren is right on time, at a time society needs to self reflect.
Wouldn't this make an amazing idea for a modern opera if he fleshed it out? It's literally like a mini-English language opera if you think of it. It holds the ability to evoke strong emotion, first dark and then light, and finally triumphant.
Luv your reaction...... Ren is a creative genius & great suffering has brought him great wisdom at a very young age..... I think you are ready to meet the King now...... the Greatest Vocalist alive in this world - Dimash..... SOS Slavic Bizarre 2018 or SOS Chinese song competition the Singer 2017...... start there & be ready for your entire Life to change & your channel to grow wildly..... Best of Luck
Got it! I have a bunch of requests for this
This piece is on par with Shakespeare but in modern form.
it captures the essence of all emotions in an amalgamation and manifestation of the primordial struggle in the human psyche.
An eternal battle that is as old as the dawn of time.
This is more than just a song, it is apiece of art that i'm sure will last the test of time.
It's quite hard to put words on the feelings of our inner struggles but this is spot on.
And regardless of the severity of our struggles what he depict here is completely relatable to everyone and that is the genius and bravery of it.
It takes some real guts and a really special person to be this vulnerable.
Love your videos keep em coming, and ur absolutely beautiful... that smile is so amazing ❤❤
Great review. The rest of these comments are spot on. Nothing more to add except…..MORE
I appreciate that!
I caught Ren's, Violets Tale on RUclips and blew me away. His trilogy and diverse music so very well written. His videos mostly 1 take too. Boy can play, sing, act and write and then some. Check out The Big Push with Ren and some great busking videos with friends. They're all musically awesome 👌
i enjoyed your reaction much ---thank you indeed
Glad you enjoyed it
Please react to his masterpiece that is a trilogy of 3 songs that weave together to make a mind blowing story with a twist ending..The tales of Jenny and Screech (full)....that includes the 3rd on which is VIOLETS TALE...and must be watched together and in that order ...also..his song Chalk Outlines (live)...with Chinchilla..
Just liked and subscribed to your channel.. great reaction.. you definitely need to check out more of REN's music. , Hi there from Northern Ireland 🇮🇪
Thanks for subbing!
Please read his comments on the Community tab on his channel. It will open your eyes to his story.
Thanks for the great reaction! Ren has many videos to choose from. The Tale of Jenny, screech and Violet further demonstrates Ren's intellect and artistic talents by producing a suspenseful trilogy with edge of your seat storytelling. Play the title Ren - The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)
Thanks for the info!
This is an important song. Creative people often struggle with imposter syndrome.
There’s a movie starring Olivia Munn called “Violet” that rings of this. It was a transformative experience for me… just as this song also resonates.
As a person who’s never been able to escape negative self-talk, *realizing* that you can exert the strength that destructive voice questions-strength that you *know* you have-is 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.
(I feel weird commenting. Name alike's & such whatnot...) Thank you for reacting to this. His rabbit hole is a beautifully dark depiction into a mirror for some & reflection for those who need us more than Poly-tic-$hun$... also, an enlightening introduction for those unaware.
Nice to get another opera singer's opinion on ren. May I recommend you look at "how to be me" or "chalk outlines" both songs feature the singer Chinchilla and feature more singing and great duets
Older video at this point. I assune youve seen Ren's "The Tale of Jenny and Screech." Classically trained and employed musician, myself. That one is raw performance art, highest respect. Its a whole trilogy set, so you have to be dure youre seeing the fifteen minute version. A modern bard song.
Some Smiles are made to Brighten Everyones Day
You have suchhh a lovely speaking voice lol sorry … hope that’s not awkward to say … it’s just beautiful … thanks for reaching to ren :)
You don't have the words because Ren has taken them all.
Ren is his own genre of music! A true artist!
I love how the melody NOT ends at 10:22 IT is still on going The eternal dance
What a lovely reaction.
I might be way off base here but, besides the Shakespearean connection, I also get Mozart vibes too. I'm thinking The Magic Flute/Don Giovanni style!!
yes.. the movement from major to minor mid phrase, and playing with the rythms, just has that Mozart feel
I love peoples reactions alost as much as I love the song. And you are about the 3rd in about 40 who thought of golum. Love it.
i almost expected you to do some harmonising with him in the end "ooh-ing" bit 😅
HAHA I should have!
You must see Huger next.... so sick!
Go that Way Girl. Do it.
This is live and all one continuous take. He uses 4 camera men and blocks it out and blows out of the park with a mic on his lapel.
wow, i didnt know that
You've got to listen to "Chalk Outlines" by Ren...completely different and haunting!
Spend more time listening. Less time worrying about you’re close up. And what’s to smile about.
well, a smart person can do both, seeing as how the close ups dont happen until the editing room by my editor.... not me
Thanks for reaction Ren is great
New fan of you. Subscribed.
Thank You!!
