So nice to see a fellow Australian reaction. A couple of years ago I sent this to all my musically inclined friends as I couldn’t believe what I had just heard
Next: Ren was a member of The Big Push band, they were a busking band on the streets of Brighton, UK. In this busking session they do a mashup covers of Bob Marley’s “I Shot The Sheriff”, Damian Marley’s “Road To Zion”, DJ Luck/MC Neat’s “Little Bit of Luck” & Dead Prez’s “Hip Hop”. Ren is wearing Red Suspenders in the video. It’s a busking classic. Loved your reaction BTW.
Ren also does some fantastic Retakes of original songs, Bittersweet Symphony - Verve, Right Here, Right Now - Fat Boy Slim, Loosing It - Fisher & More.
Busking suggestion: The Big Push - I Shot The Shetiff / Road To Zion / Hip Hop. Look for Ren in red suspenders :) If you are unaware, The Big Push was Ren's Band until 2022.
Welcome to 'Bardcore'. Ren read a newspaper article about a 14 year old boy who had killed a prostitute. Ren wrote and performed Jenny's Tale based on that incident. with the comment 'It's such a shame' which seems to be the standard, banal response when these terrible events occur. A couple of years later he elaborated with Screech's Tale. and a couple of years after that he tied it all up with Violet's Tale. turning the the trilogy into a comment on generational trauma. There are a million Easter egg's in the trilogy.
I was just as devastated as you the first time I listened to this. In fact, it took me a couple of weeks to muster the courage to watch it again. Second time round, the shock was lessened and I came to really appreciate this masterpiece. Great reaction, BTW.
Oh honey we could be long lost family for all we know. You do actually look like my 1/2 dutch aunty. Don't be a stranger! Thanks for the hug though. I don't get a lot of those since my daughter got too cool for that. 🤦♀️🙏🍻
@@SwiftReactions good luck with your chanel, I do enjoy your reactions. And if you want to hear the best voice in the world, please try dimash sos.... you will not believe his range... by the way hé is goodlooking also, that is a bonus.... ruclips.net/video/W29zEuZVaxs/видео.htmlfeature=shared
great reaction 🦋 brilliant ain’t he? the most hard hitting part for me emotionally, the part that can turn me into a sobbing mess, still after having seen it a couple of hundred times, if my mood is so (even slightly) inclined is the fact that in violets tale ren tells us that she’s a silent girl and this line he repeats several times. through all of her story we don’t hear her say a single word, not even when abused does she break her silence right… which makes this hit so fucking hard “you see violet she was pregnant, poor violet she was nine months gone. >turning to the doctor violet ***broke her silence and she cried*** !!!! >if i’m to die right here tonight please let my babies stay alive.!!!< it made me gasp for air the first few times cuz without really saying much, while still saying everything ! you feel her love for her babies (i believe she’s aware she’s expecting twins, i think he’s hiding the S at the at the end in the start of the next word babie/s/tay, but you feel the mountainous amount of love she has for her babies, this girl that’su been abused her whole life and neglected by her mother, and the fact that he makes you feel that love and part desperation from her with with othe nly 7 simple words “violet broke her silence and she cried and the emotion in his voice in
I have watched dozens of people react to this video and you were the first one that caught onto the fact that he ended the first two stories with the line "such a shame".
Another great reaction! I've watched a great number of these reactions for the trilogy and it seems women are more sensitive to the line about Violet's father tucking her in but never leaving the room. It's like automatic that we know, sad really. You seem so empathetic and Ren gotcha in the feels with this. Astute of you to think Violet might be Screech's mum. Thanks so much. Can't wait for whatever u choose next! 🎉
I thought that Maybe Jenny froze cuz She Saw the Resemblance to Screech. Born on the Street Together and Die on the Street together. Peace OOt from Canada@@SwiftReactions
His busking collabs with Sam Tompkins are so good to watch and listen to. But be prepared to go down another rabbit hole with Sam Tompkins solo work. They met when Sam was busking when he was around 16 and new to the game. He had no accompaniment and no mic. Ren (who was around 24 and a bit more seasoned at busking) saw him and thought he was good but needed some help so he lent him a mic and played guitar for him. There is a recording of this first meeting and on Sam's video for "Time Will Fly"
Yes you got it right, The more you think about the situation with the characters in his storys you can see how it comes to this tragic end . He is a wonderful story teller. His older lyrical videos are good . Nice reaction look forward to the next one .
You said, "What a storyteller..." That is a nutshell description of Ren. He is often called a bard. An artist. A master. A lyricist. A poet. A guitarist. A genius. I say.... yes. Great reaction! you have good instincts, and clearly you are an empathetic soul.
Thank you for doing this tough one, and Ren reminding us of some of life's realities. Busking....One of the best ever sessions is " I shot the sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop the BIG PUSH, the band Ren was in, it is truly epic ( Red Braces version ) . Also he did a busking session with Chinchilla and the mix of One Dance.Drunk in Love is stunning. And of course " ChalkOutlines Live " is a must then " How to be Me " Loving your Ren journey so far.
For The Big Push, depending on what floats your boat, I Shot the Sheriff or War Pigs, part of the same set busking on a street. The crowd vibe is great. Praise You - Fatboy Slim and Bongo Bong - Manu Chao are band videos but have a very cool vibe, very! Don't forget the collabs, Chinchilla will have you on your feet. Really enjoying your reactions, thank you.
Great reaction busking ren and the big push are the kings of busking - I shoot the sheriff - road to Zion - hip hop awesome love and respect from the UK 👍👍😀😀🌟 amazing channel 👍
Great reaction! Ren is an incredible story teller, and talented in so many ways. His diversity will impress you I'm sure. The rabbithole is deep, and full of surprises. The fact that his album sick boi made it to #1 in the UK totally independent, speaks volumes in itself.
Really, anything Ren does is fantastic. Go to his RUclips channel, find something with a lot of views or with a title that's interesting. It's all great.
Great reaction🖤Would love to see your thoughts on Sick Boi and Money Game 1,2 & 3 these will blow your mind!! 💥Ren is such an old soul and he speaks often on behalf of the planet and where we are headed if we don't wake up!!
Another great reaction! My face went 😮 a couple times too when he really went into the darker characters at first - and these are more like Broadway performance pieces it feels with his versatility and animated acting ability. And that guitar is like an extension of him and does have that Spanish/Hispanic Flamenco sound to it at times with the nylon strings that give it a fuller, more gritty sound. And then he changes it up and we get vibes of alternative rock (in my opinion). I think the director Sam really shines on this one, was so creative - especially with the 4 bullets shot at him part. My favorite part was the third act - "Violet's Tale". Did you notice how he went in reverse in his chord progression when he said they needed to "rewind the hands of time"? And such an eerie vibe on that hospital bed when he's looking at and wondering about god knows what was behind those curtains, lol. I see you have a ton of requests for more Ren already so I'm just going to stay quiet on recommendations and enjoy the ride 😅 I will have a request eventually for another artist and I'm not sure how it works with you - but you'll get your time and energy filled up with more Ren for the foreseeable future if you continue going down the rabbit hole. 🍻
@@SwiftReactions Fantastic, thank you. It's Pink Floyd - On The Turning Away - live version from their "Delicate Sound of Thunder" tour. If you love emotive and incredible guitar playing, think you'll really enjoy this one. Also has a great message. Some people might automatically think "Pink Floyd" and associate them with psychedelic or space rock, but they're really so much more than that. Been watching your reaction videos and just got done with your reaction to Eminem - Stan - so love that you enjoy & appreciate different genres of music. And definitely the live version of PF - there's no comparison with the studio version. Cheers! 🍻
Dominoes is awesome how to be me ren and chinchilla and chalk outlines brilliant both live versions , but many many more to watch ,ren best music on RUclips
That why we call him a bard.!! And this is bardcore because of the subject matter. Think of Shakespeare all those centuries ago, Rens the next one.!!! Good reaction, keep going. 🇬🇧🇫🇴🇬🇧🇫🇴🇬🇧👍❤️❤️
When I saw this I guessed you would get emotional about it, it’s a bit of a bitter pill to swallow when you realise what’s happening. It’s Ren at his best really, his story telling and lyrical genius is outstanding! Anything Ren is good, but don’t ignore The Big Push, it was some guys he knocked around with when he was a busker. Edit: if you’re interested in really good acoustic guitarists Mike Dawes would be interesting to take a look at - He did a tribute to Eddie Van Halen (RIP) that’s 🤯🤯🤯 it’s called Jump 🌹
He does fun stuff also!! Losing It, What You Want, Love Music 1-4(2'smyfav), Genesis and busking I Shot the Sheriff/Zion/Hip Hop, War Pigs......there's so much!!😁
The Big Push busking I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/HipHop medley that many have mentioned is a great one, but my other recommendations would be to watch one of his duets with Chinchilla (Chalk Outlines or How to Be Me are both incredible), or the Music Crowns version of Blind-Eyed that he and Sam Tompkins do, or For Joe. Then when you are ready to dive into Ren’s rap side, my favorites there are The Hunger and Genesis. Have fun!!
Great reaction! I'd go next with "Chalk Outlines Ren X Chinchilla Live". It highlights more of his talent, while also showing how awesome he is when collaborating with others, which will become clear the deeper you dive, After that one, I'd try something more fun and upbeat like his retake of "Losing It". But honestly, you can just See Ren, Push Play, and Enjoy! The talent is limitless! Cheers!
@@SwiftReactions Cool! Like many here, I like the way you react to their art (I can't dissociate Sam from Ren as I do believe he represents a huge part in his/their success). Chalk outlines is a beautiful/sad song but don't expect a love story from him. Even "love story part 1 to 4" isn't really one. If you like his story telling, I believe you're ready for Money Game part 1,2,3 and then, Animal flow which is... 🤔 super strange! But anyway, he never falls into some easy work, he likes to surprise us and mix different styles. Even if playing a little melody on the guitar + singing with no lyrics (hi ren, Violet's tales...) is something he likes to start a song. Have a great...up to you 😉
Money Game 1,2 and 3. Glad I joined. I see your subs have shot up. That's the Renegades, You're one of us now. One more of us. one less of them. Welcome sister.
Lol. Yes the Renegades are very supportive. I'm really enjoying all the comments from REN's fanbase. Lots of really great info and most people have been really kind and welcoming. The Nightwish Army have also descended on my channel and have helped with the subs too. I'm glad you joined. I'll check out the Money Game soon... cheers 🍻🇦🇺👋
I might be wrong, but I look at it as Violet's children being Jenny and Screech meaning that it (Violence) continues on and on and that only if Violet speaks and most importantly we hear, that the cycle can change.
Your the first to think violet was a Transplant patient 👌👍 running with the storyline 👌♥️. You are going to be blown away by the back catalog of Ren his love music 1,2,3.and 4 are fun money game 1,2and3 more serious and his Duets with Chinchilla /Eden Nash /Molly Mckenna. Spoilt for choice and his recent release is tribute to the old school Hip hop Gs. Not end to his talent. ✌️♥️🏴
I found it funny that I guessed his mum first. I didnt say it but I thought that his mum was maybe identifying him at the hospital...not what actually happened...I did not pick that! Plenty more REN reactions to come. I'm legitimately hooked. Thanks for your comment.
Eventually you will go through the 'Money Game trilogy'. Watch 'Crucify your culture' first. It is kind of a prelude to them. I'm enjoying your reactions. I'm a Ren reaction addict. lol I love his older music most these days like his demo's. Love 'Children of the moon' as well. Everything he does is amazing and will surprise you in different ways
When you realize that Jenny is fourteen years old herself it puts her life in quite a different context.. Walking the streets late at night in heels. We can assume that the foster system failed her just as badly as it has her brother.. "it's such a shame"
Welcome to the RENconnaissance. You’re officially a RENagade. Depending on what pill you take we will see how far down the rabbit hole you’ll go. May I make a suggestion? You may want to make a separate playlist for Ren so when others catch up they can find him more easily.
This is a story about victims of generational trauma. It refers to trauma that is passed down from survivals of trauma to their descendants.I feel that Violets tale deepens the tragedy of Jenny and Screech tale. If Jenny would have had a childhood, feeling wanted, loved and cared for that would have allowed her to be the child that she was, - instead of "walking the streets". And if James (Screech) "dear boy", ( as Ren so respectfully says) had felt loved, and safe... Yes, that is the thoughts this story brings to mind. They all gro up in a society that put blame and shame on the most fragile victims of the tremendous inequality this system create. Both Jenny, James, Violet, and Steve reacts the way science tells us
A generational cyclic tragedy that come to a final end with the unknown closure of the blood line. Shakespeare would have felt proud of his achievement if he wrote this. Ren is the greatest bard of our time.
I could write a book on just about every Ren song... These are a few things I like to mention sometimes. Jenny's Tale you have to ask yourself what was a 14 year old girl wearing heels and "rosy cheeks" doing at night on a road "she walked a 1000 times before".
At the start of Screech's Tale, Ren starts the song by saying, "A story it starts at the end". Patrick was "missing" and Screech's GF was "Busy" because they were together. Then at the end as Ren does so often he brings it full circle and says, "A story it ends at the start" . Violate Tale - I LOVE the guitar rifts throughout the ENTIRE song. Ren so often does, he plays the part of Violate here on the bed after the rifts... (Violate waking up looking around confused as to how she got here and where is here?) With haunting/eerie hymns he sets the stage. Many catch the rewind . MANY more miss the speeding back up to real time when Ren/Violate wakes up on the table (After the fight between her and Stevie as he starts walking away). Lastly, Violet moved out at 16 into a flat paid by a "welfare scheme". It is logical to think that violet was already pregnant by this time. A teenage runaway might have a chance at being a beneficiary of this but a pregnant teenage runaway certainly has the qualifications to be granted this benefit. This was before she met Stevie who most would assume was the father of Jenny and Screech. If what was speculated was true, Stevie did some maths and figured that the numbers didn't add up, the baby wasn't his. He beats up Violet and calls her a "slut" which was quite specific when compared to usual cuss words like "bitch" or "cunt". This would also answer as to why Stevie asked "Why're you lying to me, violet?" And would make the slightly off phrase "Do you think I wanna do this, Violet" fit more consistently into the story.
The back story i heard is Ren saw a story on a back page of a newspaper about a street murder and the article ended with "it's such a shame " he thought that was cold and disingenuous so wrote the first two tales, added rhe third chapter later. Th3 pt of "it's such a shame" is intentionally ironic
New subscriber here. Since so many have recommended The Big Push busking videos, I'm going to suggest Ren and Sam Tompkins "Earned It/Man's World/Falling".
Your going to get a million suggestions. But, Ren dropped a track 2 weeks ago called Back on 74/Message in a Bottle Retake that's very different, but musically gorgeous and happy. It's a live music video, where you get a feel for some of Ren's vocals and more plus it's current. The other suggestions are great but years old.
Lol. The suggestion list is getting long but I dare say I will do back on 74/message in a bottle as I have had lots of suggestions for that. It's kinda turning into a voting system at this point so keep your requests coming no matter how many times others have suggested them. REN is amazing, plenty more to come. Cheers from Oz 👍🍻🇦🇺
I am committing one of the 7 deadly sins at the moment..---'Envy', as I am so jealous of you being at the early stages of discovering the enormous catalogue of.. .. well, you will find out for yourself
@@SwiftReactions Wow, I don't know Australia yet, now all the more reason I'll have to go one day... A big shout out from a Chilean with very little English from Zurich, Switzerland. Oh, and if possible, a kiss too.
The story is even more horrifying when you think back that if Screech was 14 years old, so was Jenny. And she was walking down a street "she'd walked a thousand times before" in high heels, wearing makeup... very late at night.
"CHALK OUTLINES" 😊
LIVE! 😁
@@jjkehrley 100%👍❤️
So nice to see a fellow Australian reaction. A couple of years ago I sent this to all my musically inclined friends as I couldn’t believe what I had just heard

Ren is wearing Red Suspenders in the video. It’s a busking classic. Loved your reaction BTW.
Ren also does some fantastic Retakes of original songs, Bittersweet Symphony - Verve, Right Here, Right Now - Fat Boy Slim, Loosing It - Fisher & More.
Loosing it is his song he just raps to the EDM that fisher made, he also did a great cover of bongo bong. @@wembley636
The one with Ren in red suspenders is top.
They were a band who went busking but they were just a band that did gigs and made albums.
Busking suggestion: The Big Push - I Shot The Shetiff / Road To Zion / Hip Hop. Look for Ren in red suspenders :)
If you are unaware, The Big Push was Ren's Band until 2022.
She will love it.

Pick anything he does and you will be amazed. Anything!
This is his most disturbing piece to date, yet a piece of art. Loved your shocked reaction!

I feel a little envious because you are just starting this journey, and I wish i could rediscover Ren all over again. Enjoy 🙂
Thanks! I would normally suggest Chalk Outlines next, but I think you need some busking...The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip-Hop
Chalk Outlines is done...up in a few days...busking is next!
Thank you for continuing to react and support my favourite artist ever, subscribed ❤❤❤
Mine too! ❤️❤️
Your face putting the jigsaw together at the end was priceless. 🤘😊

A funny love story! 😂
Yes you got it right, The more you think about the situation with the characters in his storys you can see how it comes to this tragic end . He is a wonderful story teller. His older lyrical videos are good . Nice reaction look forward to the next one .

Thank you for doing this tough one, and Ren reminding us of some of life's realities. Busking....One of the best ever sessions is " I shot the sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop the BIG PUSH, the band Ren was in, it is truly epic ( Red Braces version ) . Also he did a busking session with Chinchilla and the mix of One Dance.Drunk in Love is stunning. And of course " ChalkOutlines Live " is a must then " How to be Me " Loving your Ren journey so far.
Very expressive facial expressions, Swift. Love your reaction.
For The Big Push, depending on what floats your boat, I Shot the Sheriff or War Pigs, part of the same set busking on a street. The crowd vibe is great. Praise You - Fatboy Slim and Bongo Bong - Manu Chao are band videos but have a very cool vibe, very!
Don't forget the collabs, Chinchilla will have you on your feet.
Really enjoying your reactions, thank you.
Great reaction to a great artist. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.❤

But anyway, he never falls into some easy work, he likes to surprise us and mix different styles. Even if playing a little melody on the guitar + singing with no lyrics (hi ren, Violet's tales...) is something he likes to start a song.
Have a great...up to you 😉
Love music not love story...my bad 😊
Money Game 1,2 and 3. Glad I joined. I see your subs have shot up. That's the Renegades, You're one of us now. One more of us. one less of them. Welcome sister.
Lol. Yes the Renegades are very supportive. I'm really enjoying all the comments from REN's fanbase. Lots of really great info and most people have been really kind and welcoming. The Nightwish Army have also descended on my channel and have helped with the subs too. I'm glad you joined. I'll check out the Money Game soon... cheers 🍻🇦🇺👋
I never get tired of that question "Who's Violet?"
I might be wrong, but I look at it as Violet's children being Jenny and Screech meaning that it (Violence) continues on and on and that only if Violet speaks and most importantly we hear, that the cycle can change.
Your the first to think violet was a Transplant patient 👌👍 running with the storyline 👌♥️. You are going to be blown away by the back catalog of Ren his love music 1,2,3.and 4 are fun money game 1,2and3 more serious and his Duets with Chinchilla /Eden Nash /Molly Mckenna.
Spoilt for choice and his recent release is tribute to the old school Hip hop Gs.
Not end to his talent. ✌️♥️🏴
I found it funny that I guessed his mum first. I didnt say it but I thought that his mum was maybe identifying him at the hospital...not what actually happened...I did not pick that!
Plenty more REN reactions to come. I'm legitimately hooked. Thanks for your comment.
in Voilet tale he does the rewind sound on guitar to show going back in time and later on it does it forward to show going into the present time
Wow. Is that what he is doing? Freaking maniac genius that is!
Beautiful reaction 🎉
You caught Violet was his mum as Violet's Tale started!! OMG
Yeah but I was still so wrong. I thought his mum was identifying him or something.
I would definitely recommend his two songs called Chalk Outlines & How to be with Chinchilla 🙌💚
Chalk Outlines will be up soon.
@@SwiftReactions will look out for the reaction can’t wait 🥰🥰
Yep. Chalk Outlines, Live with Chinchilla.
Coming very soon ...
at the start of Jenny tale Ren was beatboxing trumpet
Great reaction, Swift! A very dark and sad tale, but unfortunately, the cycle of multi-generational poverty and violence is all too common.
Eventually you will go through the 'Money Game trilogy'. Watch 'Crucify your culture' first. It is kind of a prelude to them.
I'm enjoying your reactions. I'm a Ren reaction addict. lol
I love his older music most these days like his demo's. Love 'Children of the moon' as well.
Everything he does is amazing and will surprise you in different ways
Bringing awareness to intergenerational domestic violence, how often the cycle perpetuates.
Don't worry, he has plenty of up beat music as well...😄
Welcome to the Renegades :) strongly recommend Chalk Outlines and Sick Boi!
Sick Boi I have done and uploaded, Chalk Outlines will be coming very soon.
I'M LOVING ❤️ THIS JOURNEY WITH YOU!
Can't wait until you get to Tom MacDonald.
Tom MacDonald...send me which song you want!
When you realize that Jenny is fourteen years old herself it puts her life in quite a different context.. Walking the streets late at night in heels. We can assume that the foster system failed her just as badly as it has her brother.. "it's such a shame"
Welcome to the RENconnaissance. You’re officially a RENagade.
Depending on what pill you take we will see how far down the rabbit hole you’ll go.
May I make a suggestion? You may want to make a separate playlist for Ren so when others catch up they can find him more easily.
I'm feeling the RENergy! Great idea. REN playlist, thy will be done! Cheers!
@@SwiftReactions 👍❤️
You could do Blind Eyed ft angry car park attendant with Sam Tompkins. It’s a live one.
This is a story about victims of generational trauma. It refers to trauma that is passed down from survivals of trauma to their descendants.I feel that Violets tale deepens the tragedy of Jenny and Screech tale. If Jenny would have had a childhood, feeling wanted, loved and cared for that would have allowed her to be the child that she was, - instead of "walking the streets". And if James (Screech) "dear boy", ( as Ren so respectfully says) had felt loved, and safe... Yes, that is the thoughts this story brings to mind. They all gro up in a society that put blame and shame on the most fragile victims of the tremendous inequality this system create. Both Jenny, James, Violet, and Steve reacts the way science tells us
Welcome again to the Ren rabbit hole...please enjoy your stay
Ren's triology is based on a true story.
1 of my favourite ❤
A generational cyclic tragedy that come to a final end with the unknown closure of the blood line. Shakespeare would have felt proud of his achievement if he wrote this. Ren is the greatest bard of our time.
Great reaction keep going,Ren has lots of great video/songs! You should check his money game 3 video! It’s long but worth your time to watch!!!
Jenny and Screech were born and died on the same day as each other laying side by side ….
I really enjoy your reactions to Ren. I’m gonna have to play catch up on your older reactions. I subbed. 😉❤️✌️
Cheers Abby. So glad you joined our little community of music lovers. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Between Ren, Floor Jansen and Nightwish you're going to be in bits by the end of your musical odyssey.
Can i just appreciate your thumbnail....i like to think have your picture twice is a reference to twins...which is brilliant if deliberate
😎
Ren is a modern day Bard. Ren calls it Bardcore!
I could write a book on just about every Ren song... These are a few things I like to mention sometimes.
Jenny's Tale you have to ask yourself what was a 14 year old girl wearing heels and "rosy cheeks" doing at night on a road "she walked a 1000 times before".
At the start of Screech's Tale, Ren starts the song by saying, "A story it starts at the end". Patrick was "missing" and Screech's GF was "Busy" because they were together. Then at the end as Ren does so often he brings it full circle and says, "A story it ends at the start" .
Violate Tale - I LOVE the guitar rifts throughout the ENTIRE song. Ren so often does, he plays the part of Violate here on the bed after the rifts...
(Violate waking up looking around confused as to how she got here and where is here?) With haunting/eerie hymns he sets the stage.
Many catch the rewind . MANY more miss the speeding back up to real time when Ren/Violate wakes up on the table (After the fight between her and Stevie as he starts walking away).
Lastly,
Violet moved out at 16 into a flat paid by a "welfare scheme". It is logical to think that violet was already pregnant by this time. A teenage runaway might have a chance at being a beneficiary of this but a pregnant teenage runaway certainly has the qualifications to be granted this benefit. This was before she met Stevie who most would assume was the father of Jenny and Screech. If what was speculated was true, Stevie did some maths and figured that the numbers didn't add up, the baby wasn't his. He beats up Violet and calls her a "slut" which was quite specific when compared to usual cuss words like "bitch" or "cunt". This would also answer as to why Stevie asked "Why're you lying to me, violet?" And would make the slightly off phrase "Do you think I wanna do this, Violet" fit more consistently into the story.
New sub here. I suggest "Chalk Outlines " for next your next Ren experience. 🇨🇦
Ren Is a pure genius
Lurving the Ren love!
There is plenty of REN love at Swift Reactions!
The back story i heard is Ren saw a story on a back page of a newspaper about a street murder and the article ended with "it's such a shame " he thought that was cold and disingenuous so wrote the first two tales, added rhe third chapter later. Th3 pt of "it's such a shame" is intentionally ironic
Very sweet reaction. Would love to see you react to Harry Mack Omegle Bars 18. Ren and Harry Mack are highly trending on RUclips.
Cheers. Can you send me a link for it? I'm not sure if I am finding the right one.
New subscriber here.
Since so many have recommended The Big Push busking videos, I'm going to suggest Ren and Sam Tompkins "Earned It/Man's World/Falling".
Your going to get a million suggestions. But, Ren dropped a track 2 weeks ago called Back on 74/Message in a Bottle Retake that's very different, but musically gorgeous and happy. It's a live music video, where you get a feel for some of Ren's vocals and more plus it's current. The other suggestions are great but years old.
Lol. The suggestion list is getting long but I dare say I will do back on 74/message in a bottle as I have had lots of suggestions for that. It's kinda turning into a voting system at this point so keep your requests coming no matter how many times others have suggested them. REN is amazing, plenty more to come. Cheers from Oz 👍🍻🇦🇺
Yep, yep, and yep.
Narrator mode stops us hating him. Just an amazing bard. Imagine a full first hand experience of this. Cancelled
I am committing one of the 7 deadly sins at the moment..---'Envy', as I am so jealous of you being at the early stages of discovering the enormous catalogue of.. .. well, you will find out for yourself
Dear lady, with this reaction, very similar to mine, by emotionality and authenticity, I have fallen in love with you. A hug
Lol. I'm glad you enjoyed my reaction. A big hello from Oz👋🇦🇺🍻
@@SwiftReactions Wow, I don't know Australia yet, now all the more reason I'll have to go one day... A big shout out from a Chilean with very little English from Zurich, Switzerland. Oh, and if possible, a kiss too.
Australia is an awesome place. I'm sure you would enjoy it. Thanks Robert 🍻
Any Ren and/Chinchilla.
I'm sure there's tons of suggestions to watch next id go with some happy music ...his love music 1 to 4 be a nice change for you
The story is even more horrifying when you think back that if Screech was 14 years old, so was Jenny. And she was walking down a street "she'd walked a thousand times before" in high heels, wearing makeup... very late at night.
❤👏👏
