![mgk - I Think I’m OKAY (with YUNGBLUD) (Sad Version) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7AC1uqQLIg4/mqdefault.jpg)
I think Ren might be one of the greatest singer/songwriters The UK has ever had, ever.
Not just the UK....worldwide. Hes making history
The world for sure
The world, really. I'm completely in love with Ren
I think you're wrong. He's one of the greatest singer/songwriters THE WORLD has ever known.
Same here 😍
Seriously. Can anyone provoke feelings like Ren? How many art forms does he squeeze into his songs? Ren is the 8th wonder of the world!
Yebba does in "My Mind", but it's "one thought" as most songs are. Almost nobody does a full story where you feel fear, pity, hate, sorrow all in different sections. Maybe Metallica's One?
Oh down the the ren hole he goes... I've subbed
Anyone who finds Ren goes down the hole
Exactly my tactic recently
I’m looking forward to the impact Ren is going to have on your life and you
And the fact that these were each filmed and recorded live, with one continous shot... This man is a musical genius.
Ren has made me cry more tears than any other artist I can recall. And I keep going back for more. Love your raw reaction. We can all relate.
same
Same here. Proud Punk Rocker here, and Ren's music and stories have completely floored me, broke me and will heal me. It's crazy how much impact his music is having on people finally. We are truly blessed to have talent like that sharing their story with the world.
💯! I'm 58 years old and I have bawled my eyes out so many times listening to several of his songs( especially Crutch w/ Bibi)..... I think he has an " old soul' as they say ❤️ 😎
Yep, same....
Violet's Tale is one of the best pieces of anything I've ever seen.
"Violet why are you always so quiet, Violet?"
It would be nothing without Jenny and Screech though (well, maybe not nothing, but you know what I mean).
First of all, I think it was very heartwarming to see your reaction. So many of us can relate and are deeply moved by his music. He makes the people who have been through the trenches gravitate towards each other for comfort, support and just spreading love.
The first time I've seen the trilogy, I was shook 🥺 As a fellow "Violet" I was not prepared to witness Ren's rendition of Stevie, which unfortunately was very realistic. But it is also very important to bring the issue of domestic abuse of women and men in the open. Ren makes people deal with issues they would rather avoid and gets them to face their emotions in every way.
I appreciate you and your story. I know you are strong, and through your experiences you’ve become even stronger. I agree wholeheartedly with your viewpoint and applaud your courage to share your story, Thank You 🙏
He was incredibly accurate...... I always wonder where he gained that insight 😕 Congrats on being a survivor as we know so many aren't 😔❤
Yes. Very well stated!
Ditto Lilly and I share your sentiments that Ren has created (and inspired) a Collective of beautiful Light-minded Souls who (I believe) were made to tested and twisted for our own insights and journeys and the empathy we van share to support each other. He's created a safe space for us to open up and reveal our vulnerabilities with less shame and far less isolation. I know I certainly feel less alone and am amongst kindred spirits now "my people" and conversations I've had or comments I've read etc have been better for me than any therapy session with a professional who hasn't experienced any of that (Sick Boi vibes there for my experience of MH and medical professionals as well as Safeguarding teams who just seem to treat everyone as a tick box exercise
@@Veeliscious I hear you & I understand exactly what you're saying. No, you're not alone... there's many of us out there...and to dare to trust other human beings will make us strong(er) and less afraid to speak our voice. Lots of love ✌️
The saddest thing about this is the fact each of these things are happening in every town, city, and country at this very moment and the cycle continues
That’s one of the things that tore me apart at the end.
And, for all time, David.
There is no practical way to end the cycle. I don’t agree with it, the state of the world today is completely screwed up, but there’s no logical way to make people come together. That will never happen. The only thing we can do is keep moving forward and focus on how we treat people and problems, rather than how society treats people and problems
The ones that survive hard times, persevere and strive beyond strife and survival towards at least stoicism are greater beings.
“Lessons learned hard are learned well” : tragedy tempers the few that aren’t crippled by these injustices to a degree that can’t be achieved by an easier life.
No one should have to experience what it takes to overcome these dark corridors but devoid of choice - there are occasions where trials by fire forms fortuitous forces
We all have been sucked down the Ren rabbit hole. Such an artist, musician, storyteller, actor.
He depicts generational violence so well, doesn't he? We're so used to Hollywood showing the sensationalised gore but Ren makes us picture it ourselves, and the horror of it is clearer than ever.
I started to worry that you needed to breathe as he came toward the end of Violet's Tale. It's so immersive that I think I held mine at the point, too. I've seen it several times now and it doesn't get any easier, nor do I marvel at less at the storytelling.
Lots of things get called 'Shakespearian' but I think this is one of very few that actually deserves it.
As a survivor of DV.. I genuinely appreciate your emotional reaction to this.
People need to be exposed to this kind of art. People SHOULD be disgusted, horrified, sad and angry when they witness this.
This brings awareness to the general population.. on how dire these situations are. How something needs to be done. And how it flows through generations.
Big props for your authenticity ❤
❤
He wrote it because he was upset at a policeman saying "it's such a shame". He was upset people just say a thing like that and go on with their lives. So he made songs that make people face it and feel it instead of just going "such a shame".
"I'm a father to a little girl... Oh my God" is the most genuine reaction i've seen.
I've watched this tale at least 100 times or so now and it gets me every time! But I love the way you do your reactions by just sitting and letting your raw emotions show! You got me crying along side you bro like its the first time I heard it! Much love man 👌🤌👏🔥❤️
It's like a Shakespearian tragedy. Ren calls this Bardcore. Bards were Medieval singers who sang about what was happening at the time. Here he's highlighting dark issues that need to be brought into the light. Yes, it's a hard listen but hopefully it makes people more aware and think about how things could be changed.
Please note that not all of Ren's stuff is heavy - he does fun stuff too! Check out Bongo Bong with his band The Big Push :)
I think his calling of this is right. Bardcore matches alot of artists i found in the last years which all bring these important subjects up - it's always these storytelling type songs that deliver it to the masses "the right way" - and i can't find a better word for it than what he found for it.
For me the three biggest Bardcore talents right now are: Ren, NF and Santan Dave. But thats just my personal taste - there are tons of new artists practicing it and there were alot back in the days which contributed in this style.
Hope his will rise and motivate more musicians to follow this path and bring up these subjects - sadly there are far too much that are under the radar.
@@Ranik-Jason virtual hug from the UK ❤
Bongo Bong is oddly fantastic!
Another funny song "Losing It (fisher rap retake)" 😊
@@Avatar_AnaSofia ... and "What We Want"
He's a musical, lyrical, choreographic and theatrical genius 🤯
I get so frustrated with some reactions when they miss the line "he swung possessed with the devil in his chest"....he killed her. So many miss that, some never catch it, even through the whole story. Also, for "Screech's Tale", it seems that almost no one catches that Screech's girlfriend and his friend Patrick, happen to be "busy", or not available, at the same time. Consider why. Maybe they were together? Patrick wasn't home...was he with Screech's girl at her place and that's why she was "busy"? It adds a whole other layer to the story. Also consider that Jenny and Screech were born side by side, and essentially died side by side, one street apart. Born on the same day (2005), died on the same day (2019). An entire family, mother and twins that never knew each other, wiped out by a cycle of violence. An abused mother, a 14 year old prostitute, and a 14 year old thug/murderer. Powerful stuff. Not sure if you caught it or not, but he did all 3 songs in a single take each, just like "Hi Ren". In the "Violet's Tale", the way he uses the acoustics of his environment to accentuate the song is absolute brilliance. The man is truly special.
I love that he says in the first part that Screech's real name is James. Jenny and James, twin names.
yes! perfectly said!
Illest of our time references Screech and the ‘kill a pacifist’ … Jenny
“You think that uniform you’re wearing” people miss so many lines
Also Violets parents. Her mother turned to silence and her father to violence. Violet and Stevie did the same and so did Jenny and James. That Violet got abused is clear as day, but Jenny? She was 14, walked home in the middle of the night in high heels? One can only imagine what she did for work. She "walked the floor", streetwalker. She was abused just like her mother. Doesn't seem like everyone is catching that. 3 generations that turned to the same awful fate.
One other little nugget. Screech is calling Jennys cheeks rosy, as in red. Screech is standing in the blue light dying. Mix red and blue and you get Violet.
There are so many lyrical little nuggets.
Ren is a Bard, modern day story teller. His band The Push is incredible . Master of the live, one take videos .
Here for you and #Ren always ❤️
OMG I am so glad I found you. Thank you so much for modeling male vulnerability and feelings like a fucking boss. Please do not for one second entertain the thought that you should have “held it together”. That BS kills good men for no good reason. Do you know how many men I have watched react to this who sit there, showing no real emotion, and their commentary is mostly about the storytelling, and how amazing it is. It astonishes me that people can watch such a perfect and real musical depiction of violence, and not feel something, or refuse to show their feelings. I’m a women’s health expert, and I also care about men’s health, because it directly affects women’s health and vice versa. Men need more role models like you. Your feelings are real and that is why people come to watch Ren reactions. I would actually give a lot to be able to see that again for the first time because it hit me so hard. I have taken care of those women. A lot of women have been subject to violence, either verbal, physical or sexual. It is an almost universal experience in one way or another. I am certain that if men were able to express their emotions and talk about their experiences without ridicule, the rates in men would be astonishingly high. A lot of men suffer abuse at the hands of women, but it isn’t always safe to report that. The culture that tells man to man up and push that shit down is killing good men and I appreciate you very much for the courage to show your feelings. New sub. Watching your reaction was as close as I can get to seeing it again for the first time. It was beautiful to watch it through your eyes. Thank you for letting us in. Your subs gonna go up up up. Just watch it happen. ❤️
And Ren punches you in the gut on the regular, so take a break from the hard hitting stuff and react to “what you Want” to see a lighter side of Ren. Or “The Hunger” which shows that he can rap rap.
The gut punchers are “chalk outlines” and “how to be me”. Bring your tissues and let yourself feel. It’s Rens superpower. Let it happen. He’s a beautiful human being. I secretly want his babies even though I’m in menopause 🤣🤣🤣
Very true and wise words 🫶🏻
I genuinely appreciate your response on this. I’m deeply humbled and truly grateful to be able to share my thoughts and experiences through this journey. I’ve stuffed my emotions and feelings for years, it basically started to boil over. I had to look within myself and fight for my own voice. Be transparent about everything, and I’ll be honest, once I started feeling instead of talking, it felt like a weight had been lifted tenfold. I broke down at the end because I felt the climax hit me like a ton of bricks. Thank you. :)
Oh that’s so great to hear. That’s your body telling you that you’re on the right track. I really have come to believe that suppressed negative emotion is the number one cause of chronic illness and mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Unfortunately, Western medicine is more interested in which prescription drugs treat which symptoms, as opposed to looking into biologic causes of disease and the impact of stress. And of course, the flipside of the coin is that those issues are difficult to explore without making people think you’re saying it’s all in their head. Once your caregiver decides that it is a “mental health issue”, they’re no longer curious about whether or not you have some thing like Lyme disease. Because mental health and disease processes in the body are completely disconnected from one another in healthcare. It’s a circular problem because we’re not coming at it from the right perspective and that has become more and more clear to me over the course of my career.
I’m glad you are feeling the benefits of no longer holding that beachball under water. It gets exhausting
Yes! ❤💯❗
Ren has taught me how to cry again ... and that is not a bad thing. I am glad he is independent and can perform on topics that are usually deemed "taboo". Generational domestic violence is real and among us right now ... the more we ignore that it is happening the worse it gets. Listening to Ren's music can be tough ... but it is also healing. Know that Ren is not always a tear factory, he has some great fun songs as well. "Losing it", "What you want", "Power", etc ... Stay strong brother and know that you are loved.
Ren is just a master in talent, artistry and every other form you can imagine!
Ren is an absolute tear factory because of his mastery. Even if you've forgotten where your soul is he just reaches right in yanks it out and proceeds to give it an emotional kicking to remind you we are all in this together and that bad shit happens and you can't ignore it.
Your comment about being a father at the end had me choking up. My reaction to this was similar: as a man I had a leap of realisation; of the full horror of DV and SV against women. I had a similar reaction when the youtuber kallmekris recently spoke about her own struggles and history.
Love to all you girls (and boys) out there showing empathy and kindness to one another. 💓
As a father to a daughter called Jenny who's suffering from PTSD after a bad marriage these stories hit hard.
This is the bestest reaction that I have ever watched from Ren's Tales of Jenny, Screech and Violet... It's so pure and emotional..
So now it’s time to take a happy break and listen to some of REN’s more lighthearted songs. 🥰
Ren has the ability to touch anyone and everyone in the deepest recess of their souls, regardless of age. This young man has an insightful consciousness unlike anything many of us have ever experienced in our lives. His brilliance is beyond measure. Just unreal.
Thank you for your honest and unfiltered reaction to this masterwork. Speaking as a woman it's truly lovely to see a man so openly and profoundly affected. After watching Violet's Tale the first time I couldn't go back to it for about a month, due to the overwhelming feelings it evoked in me. I've now watched multiple times, and without fail am crying from "ah, she never stood a chance" to the end.
Ren also has a ton of upbeat stuff, songs I play regularly to make myself feel great. Love Music Parts 1, 2 & 3, Losing It (Fisher Rap Retake), What You Want (totally fun homage - check it out, you'll see what I mean). And if you want to cry again, there's Ren + Chinchilla singing How To Be Me. Basically, with Ren, you cannot go wrong. He's always putting everything he has into every track, and he's so incredibly talented across so many genres it's kinda mind-boggling.
Wonderful comments! I suggest an upbeat one next, try 'Losing it, Fisher retake ' if you don't laugh at the 'dick' line I will be very surprised! It's a fun video to watch!
I've watched a ton of reactions to this and often see that male reactors laugh when Ren calls Stevie a little prick, but female reactors rarely do. I think women know where it's going before men based on their own experiences or that of another female in their life.
Love ur raw reaction.. Big hug from a father too..
Dude, you need cheering up, that hit you hard. Try I shot the sherrif, busking. Then try loseing it. Ha ha, I'd love to see that.
Oh I recommend losing it too, Rens very playful in that one
@@LeeannG
He hasn't seen that side yet, I imagine a 'wtf' moment. 😁
I agree!
Subbed after your Hi Ren reaction. Think I'm going to be here with you for a long time 💕
Great to catch up with you again, we appreciate you 🇬🇧👍❤️
He is like a medieval minstrel brought up to date. Masterpiece
Think about Jenny walking the streets at fourteen in high heel shoes suggests she has not had an easy life either.
This 1 allways hits me so hard i came from a whole family of gangbangers the only decent person i ever had in my life was my mom i lost her to cancer wen i was 15 my mom was like a violet and my piece of shit father was a stevie....so violets tale hits hard because i grew uo watching my mom go thru that same domestic violence....then wen i was 18 amd i decided i was moving away from the hood to get as far away from that shit as possible my own brother and cousin stabbed and shot me up because they was gangmembers and has that "blood in blood out/death before dishonor" mentality so jennys and screeches tale hits me hard aswell because my whole family are full of screeches and i was very nearly like jenny and killed by my own brother....these 3 tales are just like a flashback to the darkest parts of my life
I appreciate very much you telling your story. I am saddened that this happened to you, it seems to have made you a stronger person and that my friend is true growth. I love you, and others here do as well.
glad you got out bro!.....GL for the future
Hugs hunny. I wish you all the best in life.
Glad you were able to get out of that life and God Bless you. I hope you stay safe!!
So sorry you had those horrendous experiences. I do believe (although it's hard to swallow sometimes in the midst of it when we just want to curl up and lament "why me, why me?!") that many of us, like Ren has now realised, we're meant to be "tested and twisted" - sometimes the insight of "why" and what we have "gained" from those experiences can be a long time coming - I'm 55 now and it's only the last couple of years I realised I have a higher purpose and likely chose this tortured path because I can now reach out to and support others who've had similar journeys with full empathy and understanding rather than the "Sick Boi" attitude of being talked at and our feelings and experiences so downplayed by the professionals leaving us feel even more alone, unheard and unvalidated. I hope it will not be too long before you can find "the why" of your experiences and perhaps it may be to reach others who right now feel lost and unreachable, or perhaps you might become an amazing writer who can use your experiences to bring a book or film true to life - or whatever way it comes to you 🙌
I really love your reactions. Ren brings most people to tears. I've cried more tears in 2 weeks than I have in 10 years. Ren is a chameleon. An artist like no other, a poet, a story teller, and a truly great rapper. For your own sanity check out The Hunger, Money Game Part 1 and 2 and Illest of our time for a different side of Ren 😉🥰
Ren is AMAZING. Love your reaction for HI REN. New subb. My Favorite almost everything from him, his Band BIG PUSH, Songs whit SAM and whit Chinchilla. Bring open mind. Much love from Europe-Austria
Yeah man... this kid wrecks me too.
He's mastered his craft such that he can make you feel what he wants you to feel. That's power. That's powerful.
You've still several choice tracks ahead of you just catching up with his current catalog. I am quite excited for the future. And I look forward to new tracks with his band The Big Push, too. If there is any justice in this universe, we're all looking at the next superstar.
I LOVE your reaction videos to REN. No words are needed, just the pure, sincere emotional pouring as you watch and digest the whole story. So many youtube reactors, stop the video far too many times, which interrupts the flow, so they miss the important continuity of the piece. Ren's stories require total concentration and conviction as each minute detail is paramount to the whole experience. As so many people have already pointed out ; Ren is no ordinary singer songwriter. He is a social commentator with an incredible ability to move people with his message. He may be THE greatest creative musical artist out there today. Excellent stuff brother. Thank you for your sincere emotional reaction. 🙏
Not everything Ren does is dark.Listen to Ren with his band The Big Push.I recomend there cover of I shot the sheriff Road to zion hip hop version and war pigs.For rap The hunger,Losing it,Power,Genesis.
To me, Ren is a soul that has taken the journey of the medicine man.
His songs touch us so deeply because he has bought that medicine into his music and tales.
He is the art in heart.
And we aare deeply affected.
Violet was the mother of twins Jenny & James/Screech. When I first realized that and listened again I cried 10x more.
Not every song or performance by Ren is a masterpiece, but so far I haven't found one that isn't one. Such variety, you will never be sure of what you will get before the music starts. That's the best part of Ren. He is just a genius. Thank you for your reaction and your emotions, so many of us feel the same. Chills, revulsion or a mixture of so many feelings watching Ren.
#RenGillGOAT
Man, your reaction is just as mine was… The story telling, the delivery, just so packed with latent emotion. Gets me every time, makes my mind go places it wouldn’t normally. Makes me want to reach in to the screen and help as many lost souls as possible. REN is a genius at connecting with people, but also letting us see, just how many like minded Good souls are in this world. Stay true to yourself my friend 💜
Ren is changing the world.
Ok now listen to I shot The Sherrif by Ren and the Big Push.... For some decompression. Your stunned silence kind of said it all👍
That is a proper response to such a gut-wrenching tale as this. Go hug your daughter, big dawg.
I love that your reaction, the best reaction possible, is empathic silence. Was you said at the end of Hi Ren, I can't say anything because everything's just been said. Thank you for reacting to this epic trilogy. 💜
Hey, really, appreciating your reactions, for some thing, a little more fun and light, By Ren, check out “ I shot the Sheriff/road to Zion/hip-hop”. By him and his band called the big push.
You need a happy Ren song after two heavy weights, I would suggest you try his complete retake on The Verve's Bittersweet Symphony, it's uplifting.
Or Power. Or Losing It. Or the War Pigs cover with The Big Push. Thanks for the great heartfelt reactions. Both were touching.
This is an EXCELLENT suggestion! It's so good that the guitarist (bassist?) of The Verve sent Ren a guitar as a gift of appreciation! It has a sticker on it that says "Music Saves"... Ren saves. For sure.
He does do more upbeat songs, too. He has no genre. Raps wicked good. Try those to stop the sadness. I was happy to find some music that did not make me cry. Your reactions are so very authentic. Shout out to you, sir. Loving this channel.
Thank you very very much my friend :)
We need more entertainment like this. The world is hurting and Ren doesn't let us close our eyes to reality. His music stirs the soul, and is deeply purposeful, relevant, haunting, and poignant. He is a true artist, unlike most, here to help keep us in touch with reality, draw us together through shared sentiments, and strengthen us to keep moving forward. Thank you for showing up, Ren.
Yup.
Me too, my friend. I had the same reaction the first time I watched this too. ... Same with "Hi Ren".
This guy is an absolute force, not to be overlooked. I'm 56 years old and have never, despite my wide range of musical interests, been so overwhelmingly moved by any one artist's works as I have been since I first listened to him about a month ago.
I had to hear more, so I looked to see if he had anything else out there in YT land, and I've been blown away!
He's not only a musician/singer/rapper, he's also a great story teller, playwright, director, producer, and performer.
I've subbed to your channel, because I really felt your reaction, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see you jumping into this rabbit hole, and I'd really like to see you react to more of Ren's work. ... (not all of it is as brutally emotional as this..)
Thank you!
Cheers, from Saskatchewan, Canada!
49 yo, otherwise 👆 what he said.
I have a different favourite, every day.
For cheekie bars in a Beastie Boys pastiche, do "What you want"!
YEP , I know, he is beyond !
Dunk, thank you for sharing your heartfelt reaction because we all know it does happen, it hits most the same way. So honest and so bold that Ren puts life right in our faces and says STOP IT. We can STOP IT.
And did you notice that each clips are done in one continuous shot... I don't know how many takes they made before doing it right, but it's realy impressive, specialy the Violet one regarding the distance he walks while playing.
I call my Playlist Renverse. Because it includes everything Ren, Chinchilla, Sam Tompkins, and The Big Push.
Welcome to the Renverse my friend. There's is more dropped jaw coming
what a storyteller! what an artist! emotions and skill and voice combined!
Real life ren....yes. He makes the message clear. Ty for supporting his art.❤
To help lighten things try some of Ren's street performances with his band The Big Push
You're not alone in having this type of reaction and its good to see people connecting over Rens songs. Check out him performing with his band The Big Push for a more uplifting side of him - I shot the sheriff / Road to Zion / Hip Hop mash up is an absolute just to see and I guarantee will blow you away and make you grin like a loon. Cheers from the UK
That was the most heartfelt, honest reaction I've ever seen! Biiiig hug and thank you!!!
Real men cry. Thanks for sharing your compassion. Serenity!
Its therapeutic. When your internal voices become externalized.
Before this starts.... I bet you love this. I'll finish after.
YUP! AWEsum reACTion, Man. THAT ending face....! FROZEN IN "wUUUUUUt??" His self titled style of "BARDcore" rings 💯 accurate. No clue what it is to be a Father... but I'm an uncle & think of them as my own. Being trained in the nature of combat for 8yrs... "I have a particular set of skills" that I don't like too know... but will utilize if needed.
Ren changes your life. That's just it.
A masterpiece of social commentary on generational abuse.
We have all cried together.
Love how real you are in your reactions. He does highly charged emotional stuff really well, but that's also true of his more upbeat stuff. I look forward to seeing your reactions to both.
Ren has a special way of singing straight into the soul ! ❤
You are a real one my friend. Many blessings to you and yours.
I really hope there's something cathartic in these videos because I do not know why I keep doing this to myself. Must be 20 reaction videos to this and as well as the song getting me, if the reactor clicks to that plot twist I lose it every time. Don't feel like you need to do more than what you did, realism is why we're here. Unbelievable isn't he. I'll admit I am not a big music buff but this man seems once in a generation or even more rare. I'm blown away. There must be 30 masterpieces I've come across now, may I suggest the money game ones next. There's 2 of them in typical Ren style of complexity and simplicity at the same time. Loved your authenticity in these 2 Ren videos bro. We don't know what other people are going through, the only way out of this mess is love. ✌️❤️
5.7k views in 7 hours. now you are reacting to the right stuff :D Many of us who are touched by his music just trawl the reactions to see other people having the same reaction we did because we cant experience it for the first time again so we just watch other people going through the same rollercoaster
Wow, 2 Ren days in a row..and 2 of the toughest ones first. They're truly incredible but so visceral. Your reaction was heartfelt and honest. Be kind to yourself and enjoy the rest of the Ren ride. He is an exceptional artist!!
It’s crazy how talented Ren is! 🖤
Love to you brother. You earned a sub. Ren affects me the same, just more tears. He's something different. He's something new and it has the power to make change.
I've been wanting to watch these three songs and I've been putting it off because I've seen comments about people getting emotional and I just wasn't ready but I watched all three with you and your reaction is exactly what I'm going through right now. I can't even believe the twist at the end. That just broke me. 😢
Keep it up with these genuine reactions please
This is the most authentic and real reaction I've seen to a Ren video. Really enjoyable watch my man.
Don’t feel bad man. Every song gets me every time. He’s a mastermind and genius.
The official video for "Watch Out" features an adorable 4 year old girl named Autumn California Bailey, whose passion in life is skateboarding. Being a dad of two girls, you'll find it heartwarming, I'm sure. ✌🏼
I'm 61 years old and run a small 911 center. Hi Ren and The tale of Jenny and Screech connected with me so much. We talk to people daily losing the battle with themselves. We see the effects of domestic violence daily and it mostly is generational. Here I am, watching other people of all walks of life connect through Rens music. First, I was getting Rap reactors, shock of all shocks, I completely underestamated their compassion. Now people into metal music and am so surprised how deep they are. Maybe, this was Rens plan or an unintended consequence, who knows? But my mind has been opened. We are all human. Loved your reaction. Subscribed ❤️
Thanks so much Lulu I appreciate you and your work!
All the hugs, man. I've been crying about this one for days.
i get chills everytime i watch it,crazy storytelling,thank you for being real,alot of reacters watched it before hand it shows,but you stayed real,loved it,subbed,looking forward to other reacts
Wow, thank you!
Dude, you're amazing. You express what many of us feel watching this. I am sorry this has hit you so hard; it rocked me the first time too. I just want to hug you.
This started with Ren reading an article about a kid knifing a streetwalker, then being shot by police. Ren spun it into Jenny's Tale, later continuing the story with Screech's Tale. It was a few years before Violet's Tale came along. It's an amazingly written story, performed with each act recorded in a single continuous take while recording it with a lavalier (Note the passerby at various points).
Now, Screech and Jenny were twins. Most likely fostered out to different families (Steve's going to prison, pretty sure) So Jenny was a 14-year old "Statue in high-heeled shoes" on streets "...she'd walked it about a thousand times before." A 14 year old in heels late at night?
A tidbit to add to the story: Screech's buddy Patrick wasn't home because he was with Screech's girl at her place (which is why she was busy).
It's crazy...Screech turned out like his father and grandfather; Jenny was quiet...silent even.
Ren is a really cool unique addition to the music world, he brings with him storytelling and theater and feeling far more than just bopping your head to a beat. His words makes you THINK. He dips his toes into classical, opera, rap and singing, and does it really well. He composes, writes and produces his own stuff, even beat boxing on his tracks. And what he can do on a guitar is IMPRESSIVE. I’m not sure the world has experienced such a well rounded musical genius since Freddie Mercury. For real. That’s not even hyperbole.
Ren is such a modern day Bard it is unbelievable. He gives hints of it throughout these 3, but at the very end how he dances around and does VERY medieval bard flourishes and possess. This trilogy is probably what you would have listened to in a Medieval taverns, they sang AND performed solo.... not a Medieval Performance Troop.
Thank you also for supporting other artists . Respect to you for sharing yourself also
Great reaction so genuine
It’s amazing how you hear about things like this in the news and yes it’s upsetting but it doesn’t hit you as hard as Ren does.
He is such s as talent (well he is Welsh🏴🏴) and I don’t think I’ve heard a bad song yet, my playlist is full of just Ren songs.
Thank you for not sugarcoating your feelings, that’s why I subscribed 🤟🤟🏴🏴
that triggered me. so many tears
Ren is an enigma, he has the midas touch. I love everything he's ever produced. I've never felt so many emotions when listening to his tunes. Thanks for a great reaction. The Ren rabbit hole is an amazing one to go down! ❤❤
I love how so many Ren reactions end in stunned silence.
Another great reaction! And the journey down/up the Ren rabbit hole begins. I grew up in a dysfunctional family, on the "wrong side of the tracks," so his songs have hit me hard. But they have also been a kind of therapy for me, as they seem to be for a lot of people. Thanks for this presentation!
Great raw reaction. Pause as much as you want about anything. So many of us are watching every reactor we can find to his work and you’ll for sure bring a new perspective.
Intense reaction dude. It is reality, expressed through fantastic art. Thanks.
I love that this moved you! That the parent came out with so many feelings at once! This might be long and rambley but since everyone is bonding and sharing the love I’m just gonna go with it…
One day in the future when your little girl is looking at the man she fancies, maybe he’s new or maybe they’ve been together for years now and she’s contemplating whether to let slide the stupid, hurtful thing he did. Feeling insecure over him running his mouth. Creating excuses in her mind to justify and take the blame for a violently red red flag he’s so apologetic for. Whatever it is, cuz there will inevitably be something. She’s gonna take a moment to turn and look back at you and realise that she knows the true measure of a man. She knows her own worth. Knows she is loved. That she isn’t alone in her problems and her people will always be there and give her a soft place to fall when she needs it. Because of that she won’t ever settle for a life like violets. She’ll fight. She won’t settle, period.
Personally, knowing that my family genuinely loved and accepted me, unconditionally and without limit made all the difference in life. It may not protect you from horrible things happening but it gives you an inner strength, a will and a fearlessness in the face of any situation. It’s a built in sword and shield that allows a confidence and sense of ~safety~ of peace in your own skin. And even when that feeling is difficult to find through the gloom sometimes, you know it never actually leaves. It’s the best gift that any parent could ever give their child.
I could have come home with blood on my hands, told them I’d become some murderous, satanic, pregnant, lesbian, junkie hooker. Pierce my eyeballs and shave my head. Whatever… and tho they may not understand, may truly hate my choices, not support my actions, be pissed beyond belief… at the end of the day, none of it would ever change the fact that I am theirs and they are mine. Your heart recognises them as ‘home’. And ya know, having that one thing that is forever unshakable, solid and unequivocally true can save your life. It encourages you to be free to be the best version of yourself possible. Free to explore, to learn, to fuck up and find joy. It’s magic. I hope one day you get to see your bubs all grown and standing tall with a big smile all full of that feeling. 💜 much love bro, to you and the rest of the community sharing the moment 🫶
Screeches Girlfriend was busy whit Patrick. And Jenny was silence like her Mother Violet and Screech abusive like his Father Steve. Whole cirkle. You can only Listen and you See everything. Sorry for my Englisch
Ren made a video compilation of him "getting into Screetch's mindset" which cost him fan's... fyi
@@mckalcm7494 Really???
Yes - It is on RUclips. You will want to see it to give some rare, interesting background on a piece by a master.
Wow, Patrick and Screech’s girlfriend, never made that connection.
@@GhostWatcher2024 True, it is an interesting garnish on a very moving and, unfortunately, realistic musical theatre.
As I've read it both Jenny and Screech were real people. Ren read the newspaper one day in 2019 and buried on the 6th or 7th page was a short "write-up" [I guess you'd call it] on the tragic death of two 14-year-olds; a girl, Jenny, and her killer [proper name James somebody] known in the Neiborhood as Screech. He thought that kind of news [of the decay in society that resolves in such ways] deserved more attention. So, he wrote the first two of the trilogy shortly after reading of them. These few years later he took on the task of writing a fictional story to further drive home the point that this continuing cycle of violence and decay in society should be paid attention to. So, the entire Violet story he designed to fit the personalities of those two and how they are made. Very impressive writing [and storytelling] and motivation resulted in Violet's Tale. Easily imagined they were brought up in separate foster homes. Jenny took on the quiet nature [still nature] of her mom [freezing in her tracks, unable to move when commanded to give up her goods] while Screech took on the character of his father. 14 years after two zero zero five they met each other probably for the first time and a newspaper article on the 6th or 7th page is what became of it. [as Ren has imagined it for us] His story telling has purpose. Real purpose. That is what has him stand alone [it seems] in today's society. [unique as an artist]
I am soo thankful that you are all here with me. You all keep giving strength and hope and we'll change the world
