- This is not just a music video, this is true art and raw talent!
BIG LOVE and props to Ren for creating this video:
• Ren - Hi Ren (Official...
Check me out on twitch every week:
/ zerocooldrl
This was my first EVER reaction video and WOW this was so amazing!
I've watched his video 100 times,and 100 reactions,,and EVERY time,by the end,I have tears in my eyes and I'm literally breathless.....
It’s truly incredible! I have watched the original and many other reactions to this exact video. I’m addicted
I thought it was just me.
@Erwin Felis Not just you,at this point it's millions of us~!! Ren has left the WORLD breathless........
@@vivienneclarke2421 I meant the fact that I have watched it dozens of times, both the original video and the reaction videos. Plus the fact that it's able to bring tears to my eyes on almost every single listen. I suspect most normal people would give it a listen and move on. It's refreshing to see that I'm not the only one who is obsessed. It's not often I am that impressed by a single song, but this is a song that belongs in museums because it's a work of art. It's a masterpiece.
Me too!!! 🥲
I am a 73 year old woman, not a rap fan, but this young man is, indeed, a GENIUS!!
I love watching people's jaws hit the floor before they ask, "whoa! What is this?!?!?!" It takes no time for people to see how amazing this is. And people who realize it's live are even more affected.
I have been binge-watching reaction videos on Hi Ren for the last two weeks and I can't seem to stop. Watching people's reactions to this Message which I can not explain other than the Truth. I find myself in tears every time I see when someone 'gets' the Message. It is the entire Gospel of Christ in one song. First, we just sing along, then the inner battle, then Satan reveals himself and then Christ comes and Stands up in authority over us and claims us to be redeemed. Our Saviour and Eternal Hope. And finally, it is ok. Because we have been made to be trailed and tested, we are human.
Revelation 3:20
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me."
Mephistopheles, also known as Mephisto, is a demon featured in German folklore. He originally appeared in literature as the demon in the Faust legend, and he has since appeared in other works as a stock character. Wikipedia
Thankyou for the description! BIG LOVE
As a german student i can get rid of the feeling that the devil speech seems some kind of familiar.
For whatever reason (and its not Goethes Faust) my brain places a similar monologue in a work of Goethe or Kafka (and i dont know how my brain mixes them but okay i guess).
PS: I dont say he stole anything, just that i got hardcore flashback towards class 12 german class lol
But he said "Mistoffelees", like the character from "Cats". I'm sure he MEANT "Mephistopheles" (a servant of the devil) though.
Stages of watching Hi Ren:
This looks creepy
Guitar sounds nice
Oh he’s singing
Will the whole song be like this?
Here’s the beat
Ok he’s rapping now
This guy is scary
Now he seems nice
Oh I see what he’s doing
This is interesting
This is intense
The mean guy is a jerk
This is INTENSE
Make it stop
I haven’t blinked or taken a breath in 2 minutes
Go Ren!
YES!
OOO-OO-OO-OO-OO-..
I need some time to be still…
Ren is the modern day minstrel man ..mixing old English tales with modern music and rhyme ..genius work
Definitely Genius work here!
I would add prophet to the description: Prophet Minstrel.
I heard he calls it Bard Core😂
What a perfect way to describe it.
He has a lyme desise that was undiognosed almost 10 years , 5 years bedriddend.
Thankyou for the info... I didn't know that
You MUST react to his Trilogy the Tale of Jenny and Screech.. (FULL)..with the 3rd being Violets Tale..which MUST be seen in sequence... It was like watching a movie....deserves an award.
Thankyou for the info. Haven’t seen it yet but I’m recording it today after my haircut. And uploading it today…Fresh look - fresh reaction.
He is LIVE..he has a mic on his collar and his guitar is plugged into a wireless power behind his back... the trilogy I recommended below is also LIVE..MANY clues that show you he is...the acoustics change as he goes from a large space to small spaces...
You’re absolutely correct. I love the whole vibe with this.
Yep, it's all one take, and according to Ren, this was the 4th take.
You did a great job reacting. I loved watching you process and breakdown REN’s performance. He’s so theatrical and deep. I’m a 54 year old woman and I can’t stop watching him. Those voices are real in all humans regardless of age.
You’re absolutely correct. I am just a small person in the grand scheme of things but the fact I can take from this artwork and it can help me to fix me a little bit, connecting to someone and something in such a quick amount of time, it’s heart warming.
Ditto
Hey, me too! 54 & love Ren
Except for me, my inner voice was slain in a power struggle!
As best as I can tell this was recorded in one take and he had several cameras recording from different angles and the changes of camera angle are done in editing when they put it all together.
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. You have an exciting journey ahead.
Oh the journey is well under way
I'm sure someone else has answered, but, yes, the video was recorded live. Samuel Perry-Falvey, the cinematographer has said they did 4 takes, with 2 of them in use for the video; one for the fixed cams and the other for the shots with the handheld. I'm fairly certain the audio is from the fixed-cam take.
Great reaction. I only recently learned about Ren and have gone down this rabbit hole ever since. Many of the subjects, experiences, and emotions expressed in his songs touch me on a very personal level because I can relate to and identify with many of his struggles.
A little background on Ren that I gathered from the internet. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, he began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. In 2010, he was signed by Sony Records and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue. His illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours a day. Ren was initially diagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome. It would take seven years before he was finally correctly diagnosed with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and brain damage. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure. He is currently in Canada for more treatments.
Ren is an incredible and unique artist; he plays multiple instruments, has great vocal ability, is an excellent storyteller, and is quite the philosopher and poet. From what I read, his videos are generally shot live, all in one take by his friend. I recommend you check out some of his other work. The trilogy "The Tale of Jenny/Screech/Violet" is haunting and has an unexpected ending; WATCH THEM IN THE STATED ORDER, as this is the flow of the storyline or just watch “The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full)” which includes “Violet’s Tale at the end. It is another example of Ren’s genius and a master’s class in storytelling.
Ren’s collaborations with Chinchilla (“Chalk Outlines,” “How to Be Me”) are beautiful and showcase his singing voice while addressing mental health. I would watch the official live music video. "Chalk Outlines" is one of my favorite songs right now. Ren's personal reflections are threaded through many of his songs; "Insomnia," "Depression," “Diazepam," “Penitence,” “Dear God,” “Heretic,” “Dominos,” his "Freckled Angels" album, just to name a few, all deserve a listen. His song "Money Game" (Part I & II) is another recommendation.
As a solo act, Ren performs a range of genres, much of it hip-hop/rap influenced, as well as guitar-based ballads. His performances with Sam Tompkins (“Blind Eyed,” “Earned it /Mans World / Falling”), Eden Nash (“Humble,” “Ocean”), Bibi (“Crutch,” “Ahiahiaoha”), Molly McKinna (“Penitence”), his former bandmate, Romain Axisa (“French Song”) and any of his performances as a member of the band "The Big Push" (which unfortunately broke up) are awesome and well worth checking out, both the busking (street performances) and their live recordings. Ren has impressive vocal and instrumental skills. He is one-of-a-kind and appears mature beyond his years.
Ren just released his latest single, “Sick Boi.” In anticipation of his stay in Canada for more treatments, Ren prepared some music ahead of time to be released over the next 3-6 months that he expects to be gone. "Sick Boi" is almost another chapter to "Hi Ren."
Thanks for that info BIG LOVE
He’s recently (like. In the last day or two) been rediagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. (His body is basically attacking itself)
Oh wow. Okay that’s interesting.
@@rmeredithm If so, that would be pretty cool, because it's mostly treatable with off the shelf antihistamines (allergy medication), asthma medicine, and low dose aspirin, with steroids on hand for severe episodes. Yeah, that's a bunch of pills, but it can make him pretty much symptomless relatively easily...
@@rmeredithm Same way the Mrna shot affects the body
"Holy shit! What is this?!?! I wasn't expecting that!!!!"
You and the rest of us mate. You and the rest of us 🙌
Many thanks my friend love ren 67 year old great grandad this is pure genius love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍
Transformative. I tell people to watch it. They ask what KIND of music it is....well, jaw-dropping, staring WTF life-changing kind. NO comparison to anything else. I'm 63 and a BIG Ren fan. In truth, he had my attention with that first guitar piece!
F**k YEAH! I get to see another grown man cry! You're going to LOVE this.
Ren was on the spaceship that came to Earth carrying him, Bjork, Dylan and PJ Harvey.
And bob marley and Eminem and John dowland… don’t forget dowland
I enjoy seeing youtubers getting their minds blown with musical art.
I have watched and listened to a couple hundred HI REN reactions and look for new youtubers, to me,and you got a new subscriber in me.
Keep doing what ya doin.
KEEP MOVING FORWARD.
🤜🤛
SHARING IS CARING
1 more subscriber for your channel to 100k😁
Ren's music is the word that is like the song needed for peace in BILL AND TEDS movie,from WYLD STALLIONS.
...the brighter the light, the darker the shadow it casts.
...you can't recognize light without the darkness.
...pendulum, eternal dance...
...suffering and joy...
...yin and yang...
I don't know if Ren knows it but that last spoken word section embodied some of the core concepts of Buddhism. Plenty of Westerners have come to these truths of their own accord, it doesn't take a religion or even being exposed to eastern culture to come to this realization.
And there are even fewer who are able to translate that wisdom to a Western audience. Alan Watts was one such person, but he made it very clear that this is what he is doing.
I am not even sure Ren knows this is what he is doing. Perhaps. But I assure you, after watching easily over 70 reactions to this piece of music and theater, almost everybody instantly understands it, but nobody seems to know it is a wisdom thousands of years old.
Likewise I feel that he ended the musical part before the ending monologue 1) a note short… perhaps it’s meant to represent the semicolon, the pause that conveys that the story is not over and 2) on the high note.
To answer your question, one take live, with about 3 cameras.
Welcome to the Rennaissance @ZerooReacts and 🙏 thank you ❤ for your empathetic and insightful Ren reaction! I liked 👍 it and subscribed 🔔.

There really is only one thing the renegades prefer reactors NOT to do, it is to start the Tales trilogy at the wrong end (Violet's Tale) because it is the resolution to The Tale of Jenny and Screech, best to start with ❎❎Jenny, and the 13 min-long version.
he rap fkn well in LOVE THIS MUSIC PART 3... and sing intensly in CHALK OUTLINES with Chinchilla. he is great on any level. a lot of previous stuff to watch from him. oh and by the way, you re so expressive, awesome reaction vid
Mephistopheles (Satan) is a character in Goethe's tragic play "Faust," who makes a bet with God.
Ahh okay. Yes I did read up on him. Thankyou
Not sure if you caught it, but he also said “son of the Morning” as in Lucifer, the morning star.
If you’re curious, and for the sake of brevity, you can check out why he’s known as the morning star if you look up “Lucifer” on Wikipedia. 😉
@@rmeredithm Thank you for your comment. Yes, I did notice all the allusions to Satan; the snake in Eden, Son of the Morning, or Morning Star, depending on which translation you use. Both Jesus and Satan are referred to as such; Jesus being the genuine Morning Star and Satan being the counterfeit. I am currently doing a one-year study of the Book of Revelation, and in Revelation 22:16, Jesus identifies Himself as the Bright Morning Star.
I’ve never seen your channel before but im deff a sub now. Hope I’m not mistaken here but you sound British. As an American I just want to say you Brit’s don’t get nearly enough credit for your accomplishments. If we even try to quantify the amount of talent, inventions, scientist, discoveries ect that have come out of a tiny island in the northwest of Europe. It’s actually mind boggling. Shakespeare, dickens, sir Isaac newton, Charles Darwin, Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Elton John. Amazing.
I've been meandering down the Ren rabbit hole this past week, savouring his music and watching reaction after reaction to Hi Ren ..I genuinely loved Your reaction, you can tell the amazing heartfelt performance of Hi Ren genuinely touched your heart and soul..like it has for so so Many of us! ....I think anyone who has struggled with their own demons , mental health or chronic illness will totally relate to Hi Ren. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for supporting him as an artist! Ren is an absolute Gem 💎
It’s super hard to open up to the world I’ll be honest. This touched me in more ways than I would have liked to admit due to embarrassment and such. I really appreciate your kind comment and Thankyou so much
“Bard Core” an amazing artist and storyteller
Check out Sick Boi ... his latest release.
It’s on the list to react to. Haven’t seen it yet
Watch what happens to the lamps while he is switching personalities
Check out also his live Chalk outlines and How to be me with Chinchilla, Money game part 2 or any other song, you can't miss, he is amazing🔥🔥🤗
Yes! Chalk outlines and How to be Me!
Lighting posture tone strumming facial expression ……wow. ! Message WOW!!!
great reaction. Mephistopheles does show up in Faust. But the word and concept is much older than that. It's a Greek word for 'Satan'.. it's literal meaning is 'Lord of the Flies' (yes, Goldman's 'Lord of the Flies' novel relies up this foreshadowing. Oh, and in dramatic section in the middle of Ren's song here, at the end before he goes to the quiet part, the dissonant chords he's playing is a chromatic ascending of flatted 5th chords... also known as the 'Devil's Triad'. All of the construction of the song is purposeful on Ren's part. He has levels upon levels.
Easy sub, love your genuine astonishment. I hope Ren sees this one.
Bruhh I’m but a tiny fish in a massive ocean of reactions. But really Thankyou for your love! BIG LOVE
@@ZerooReacts You'd be surprised, he takes an interest in the interest. I've seen him coment on tons of reactors, big and small. Ren day 1ers out there, someone hit him up with this one please.
@@gavinwilson2071 But you know... a lot of reactions where released lately... could take some time until Ren will comment every reaction ;-) But I'm sure he will do!!!
Definitely listen to his trilogy on Jennys tale, Screeches tale and Violets tale. Amazing story telling. ❤️
It’s being uploaded as we speak! It’s a masterpiece!
@@ZerooReactsdefinitely genius, for his more hip hop sound listen to Genesis and Blindeyed. ❤️
Damn you don’t miss a thing. I didn’t notice the “forget it” for awhile.
Any level of music is good to do , keep messing around , you’ll surprise yourself you least expect it
Ren is a blessing and a lesson to all of us. Watch the Twitch show where he speaks of his health journey! Thanks for the great comments. ♥ Aloha from Hawaii!
Mahalo for the W comment! BIG LOVE!
You are correct this was done live in a single take. He is both an incredible musician and an incredible human.
Not only is it about the song, but also Ren being the director of this video...
Great reaction! Thanks for putting your soul into your words and expressions, just like Ren! Yeah, go check Ren's work. And after Chalk Outlines and I Shot the Sheriff, check Eden - be prepared!
Thanks brother. Love your reality. Keep up the good work! 👍
Love to you bro!
Peace friend!
💪✌️✌️💪✌️🤘🇨🇦
You broke the number one youtube reaction rule: always have a guitar on the wall in the background shot.
You looked like you had been crying before the video i normally crack halfway through. Jokes aside its one of the best musical performances ive seen and such a powerful song.
Dude! you need more subs, of which I just became one! I guess I'm gonna have to look at you on twitch of which I've never been there before. You know there is always someone, sometimes more than one that you just know you could be friends with, someone you can imagine comes from your hood. and you are one of them to me! very enjoyable to watch you react to this! Yes, Ren is special! you can find out about him if you go to his page with this on it, the first two comments he tells about himself. amazing!
Great react 👍thank you for your thoughts. Ren is amazing and there is so much more for you to find. Will be here for more reacts. Keep stepping forwards 💙
I appreciate the kind words and love. BIG LOVE
He's a musical genius!
37th review of Hi Ren I've watched, you guys are still coming out with brilliant takes on Rens brilliance, You have to check out the trilogy Jenny's, Screech, Violets tale (complete) modern day minstrel/Baird.
If you head to the channel page I have reacted to it. Those three tales were amazing! BIG LOVE
He also emphasised the importance of learning to relax (and soften)... Take note! lol :)
Loved your reaction 🙂 this is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I have ever seen.
Thankyou so much c:
He has a way of touching you on a different level, he's an absolute genius!!!! He has done a retake of fisher losing it and it is fireeeee, also chalk outlines, diazepam and 1990's are in my top ren songs
Gotcha! Thanks for the info
@@ZerooReacts looking forward to new reacts from you to watch X
i was blown away...so much talent
Writing this comment before watching to completion, but I don't know if you noticed the lights flickering whenever the "devil" was talking, but never when the "angel" was
🤣, that look when you figure it out. 😲
Great reaction! ❤
And yeah, Ren just does it all. He’s a singer, rapper, multi instrumentalist, producer, performer, and creative genius. I know you’ve already done the trilogy where he showcases his abilities as a modern day bard, but if you want to hear more of his singing I recommend Chalk Outlines (live) with Chinchilla, and to see his rap skills on display The Hunger and Losing It are brilliant choices. I’m pretty sure Ren can just master anything he puts his mind to. He is something else. Not sure we deserve him, but we certainly need him in this world.
Keep going down this rabbit hole- he can switch flows and genres at will.
He also is in a band - The Big Push-who have great originals, but first check out a busking video. They do these covers- mashup’s if 3 songs and making them theirs. I’d suggest I Shot The Sherry/Road To Zion/Hip Hop.
He also colabs w the Chinchilla-haunting songs and Sam Tompkins-soulful songs.
Yeah, it's a live, unedited take. He said it was the 4th try.
Rewatching ❤️
Thanks BIG LOVE
Loved your reaction. Welcome to the REN rabbit hole. Such a great place to be ❤
Love it so much, the reactions are gold. Once you think you have it figured out, he knocks the floor out from under you. Straight masterpiece.
Well done, friend. I enjoyed your reaction to "Hi Ren".
YES. its live, he is a one take master. Mephistopheles is another name for the devil, or Lucifer.
Thanks for letting me know. BIG LOVE
@@ZerooReacts yqw. Peace & Love
I can't tell for sure, but I'm getting a hint of Welsh from your accent - and if so, your boy here is a fellow countryman. He's from Bangor, and, honestly, the absolute Pride of Wales! Incredible talent!
Yes a hint of Welsh indeed. From Barry and I am well travelled hence the “slight”
Loved your sincere reaction...greetings from South Africa.
If you want to hear more of his story, check out his interview with Justin Hawkins.
You are talented! Some people's talents come in the form of creating and others talents come in the form of truly understanding and appreciating ❤️
Thank you so much. BIG LOVE to you
Hi you, finished watching your reaction to Hi Ren, after lots and lots of others. Only you noticed the misplacement of the line "forget it" belonging to the darkside, but said in the lightside position.
0:18 0:18 0:18 I
Your the first reaction to stop and rewind the spoken ending :::::
RENegade here! Loved your honest reaction. Liked and sub! Hope to see more Ren reactions.
You're wonderful to watch
One love xx
Mestopholies is the demon in the German Faust legend who Faust sold his soul to. I don’t know if I spelled that right!
been looking all the reactions to this song since i discovered it 2 days ago, i guess im loosing it but hey, yours was one of the best tbh, keep it up.
Dude I subscribed for your moustache! Nice work brother!
I love you and your human reaction. ♥️
New sub, beautiful reaction to an amazing talent! Thank you! With ❤️ from TN US
BIG LOVE to you too and Thankyou
I've seen him play many styles of guitar and he's a monster at all of them.
That's it. I'm growing a moustache. Oh and great reaction too!
LOL Thankyou!
Live well spotted JP
Totally loved your reaction!!!
Everyone has walked different paths, Regardless, the humanity within me recognizes the humanity within him. That’s his biggest gift, in my eyes.
I absolutely love Ren, I have spent far too much time watching reactions to this video and I loved your reaction.
I've just found your reaction and I'm hoping you reacted to more.
I really enjoyed your reaction! It was authentic and I loved it.
I freaking LOVED your reaction and I’m so glad I stumbled across you. Subscribed and I’m a fan of yours. (I’m obsessed with REN’s art.)
Loved the video man
Appreciate you
I appreciate you taking the time to share not only this song, but your relatable reaction! Gladly subbed mah boy!! This is only the start!!
You’re too kind Thankyou so much! BIG LOVE. More content coming this week
New sub for you buddy, excellent reaction. Great to finally hear a British voice on a Ren reaction.
Thanks for the sub!
Goosebumps tears etc wtf 1 take nuttz. JP
Loved your insight and reaction bro. Respect!
My first time watching you and I'm a fan!!! Ren is truly phenomenal and he can do it all, sing with old school soul, rap, beat box, and obviously play. He is the real deal!!!! Loved your reaction and break down. Big prayers to Ren with his treatments in Canada, hoping his brain and body get the much needed pain relief. #Ren#TheBigPush!!!!!
BIG LOVE to you also, Thankyou for experiencing this with me and I will keep REN in my thoughts and I'm sure he will be in all of our prayers! Wishing him a speedy recovery. BIG LOVE
Great reaction man...loved it.
Yep ....Ren is...JUST WOW! ♥
Welcome to Ren!! You need to check out Jenny and sceechs tale full version by Ren
I too know that demon 'mental'. Much easier when the dance is slow, and I learned to dance to the flow. Ren, touches us with truth.
Been watching Ren for years. Look at his older stuff like "Ren Gill - Amazing performance". He had mad skills 10 years ago and beyond!
Great reaction!
Evil Ren has the light behind him so his face is in the dark, the light flicker when he speaks and he strums his guitar more aggressively.
Ren himself has the light in front of him brightening him, lights don't flicker and guitar strumming is smooth and low.
Wonderful reaction, really enjoyed watching it! Thank you!
