- This was my FIRST ever reaction listening to Ren, special shoutout to Vimbto for giving me this recommendation. I was conflicted with spewing, screaming or just nearly making me ball my eyes out. It also blew my mind HE'S FROM WALES!!!!!!! GO ON WALES
Did you catch the little subtle bits in the song? comments
There are so many parts to this video, the lyrics, the art, the choreography. I am SHOOK. The absolute dissing in this track, if you did pick up on it... LETS TALK in comments.. The concept is there. I like to react, you get to see the raw reaction.. This is nuts. Don't judge a book by it's COVER.

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
...and ever so often "Wow".....'wow'....wow
Bro spot on. Been watching a few reacts because I needed a good cry day and this is everyone.
Ren IS the genre. 🔥 Welcome to the journey. Ren doesn't do bad music. The amount of talent in this one person should be criminal. 💓💗
Perfectly said
Let the RENaissance begin.
@@TrianglesAndCircles nice
well said ....
he describes it himself as bardcore...
He is this generations Freddy Mercury.
Metalhead here and I've got to say that Ren is a fucking genius. I got all my metalhead buddies listening to him. Hail bardcore! Everyone has already said songs and such so just go down the rabbit hole of brilliance. And many of his vids are one takes. His busking performances are brilliant too
I love metal & more, I get really strong la dispute vibes, like proper art / spoken poetry ha
My daughter sings in a Metal band but it was her who put me on to Ren. He is a Genius.
All I will say is Enjoy your trip down the "Ren" rabbit hole. Its an amazing journey! This gent is so talented and his art crosses all boundaries. Great reaction to this video!
Yes I totally agree with that .ENJOY
Ren is therapy for so many from one song he helps so many people open up in ways therapists struggle to do in person
I feel this ya know
Loved your reaction. Ren realized that in order to avoid becoming a victim, he must become a student and learn how to cope. In the end, he also learned that the dance is eternal; however loudly or softly one's own demons speak to them, they are always looking for new opportunities to control us and they never give up.
There is no genre for Ren, his talent genuinely breaks all boundaries. He writes, sings, raps, produces, beat boxes, you name it. Try Sick Boi, Chalk Outlines (live version with Chinchilla), Diazepam, Genesis, How To be Me (live version with Chinchilla). If you fancy some brilliant story-telling try the Violet/Jenny/Screech trilogy. If you fancy rap try The Hunger, Losing It and What You Want
Bardcore
@@nerddwarf thank you, just posted above with this answer,
Bardcore
@@thegreenxeno9430 "Bardcore[a] or tavernwave is a musical microgenre that became popular in 2020, consisting of medieval-inspired remakes of popular songs.[2]" Not sure much of Ren's work fits that definition
Yes there is. He's bardcore lol
Ren is multiple genres...I'm a goth/industrial head and he's one of my new favorite artists...rapper, singer, performance artist, bard...Sick Boi is a good next one
Loved this reaction. You're so right when you talked about how we need to not beat ourselves up. Like ren said, it's not a battle to win. it's a pendulum. Angels and demons dont have tonworry abiut the dance. They are either all good or all evil. Human beings are both. If we spend our whole lives trying to be perfect, trying to overcome, we will realize one day we haven't actually lived at all.
Here is some additional information on Ren's story that I gathered from old newspaper interviews, articles, and Ren's livestreams and posts where he discussed his condition. Ren Erin Gill is a British musician/independent artist; born in Wales on March 29, 1990; he eventually moved to Brighton. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, Ren began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. In 2010, he was signed by Sony Records and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue and subsequently dropped by Sony.
Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led him to experience psychosis and develop PTSD. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure.
Ren is currently in Calgary, Canada for more treatments, including surgeries, and will have to be there for at least six months (Summer of 2023) undergoing IV and other interventions five days a week. Ren recently underwent wisdom tooth removal and cavitation surgery. In addition, his Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD), which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, adrenals as well as his bones/joints. Now, Ren is receiving additional treatments for this previously undiagnosed condition.
Let's keep supporting Ren as he undergoes his treatments. Check out and subscribe to his channel, if you are a content creator, ask your audience to subscribe to Ren. Listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to the world, and his work is important in these troubling times. Someone has finally created a Wikipedia page for Ren, so there is additional information available.
Here is the link to Ren’s GoFundMe page to raise money for his current treatment. Ren has exceeded his initial goal. However, his goal was very conservative and did not reflect the added costs of unforeseen surgical procedures, and treatment for additional health issues such as MCAD. www.gofundme.com/f/ren-get-better-from-lyme-disease-and-autoimmunity
Thank you so much for sharing this info with everyone. 😊
@@reneedevry4361 I hope it is useful to those unfamiliar with Ren.
@@JensRandolff I am a big fan and there were a few things that I did not know so I think it will help. 🥰 hugs from 🇨🇦
@@reneedevry4361 Glad to hear it. Love from ND.
Love that I found Hi Ren reaction vids because I sit and watch all of them. This video & song together are brilliant. With his facial changes, vein in his neck and lights flickering when bad Ren is talking... genius showing the different sides. & towards the end when he hits some singing notes, damn, he can really sing too.
"And I go by many names also, Some people know me as "hope".... Some people know me as the voice that you hear, When you loosen the noose on the rope"
My wife hung herself in 2020. That line hits me hard. She battled her own self & lost. Maybe that is why I am drawn to this song/video so much.
His catalog is so deep, and his lyrics are profound and have sunstance. He's a breath of fresh air.
Amazing how this song has touched so many people from all walks of life, all around the world and everyone can find something in it to connect with. The power of music.
Honestly love it 😢
Yeah it's not just this song many songs have touched people around the world. Music brings people together.
I said the same in my comment
Great reaction!!! Loved that you didn’t pause it.
'Renspeare' ..........21'st century 'Bardcore' artistry & story teller , rapper/singer/poet......and more...
Ren simply cannot be put in a box. I've never seen you before but you have a great vibe. Thoroughly enjoyed you. If you liked this you will absolutely love the tale of Jenny and Screech. (Full). Whether you react to it or not, watch it. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don't. Have a great day :)
Your break down of the monologue is really good. That ending was pretty much CBT done without a therapist and it genuinely has changed my thought processes just with that dance metaphor.
Last thing my friend said to me was how ren made him feel like he isnt alone. Hes no longer here, love you turtle.
It's impossible to pick a favourite song...my opinion changes daily. It depends what mood you're in.
Serious/deep mood...Sick Boi, Chalk Outlines, How to be me, Diazepan, insomnia, Depression, Money Game, Crucify your Culture
Fun mood...Losing it, The Hunger, What you Want, Power,Genesis.1990's, Bittersweet Symphony, Praise You
To hear him sing..any of his busking sessions with his band The Big Push or Sam Tompkins.
That's just a few...there is so much more! Subbed because I loved your reaction, and its nice to see another British Reactor loving Ren.
Thank you Alison! I appreciate this :)
Jenny & Screech & Violets Tale is TODAY!!!! ruclips.net/video/0LUM-j6sfjU/видео.html
Ren is his own genre
Renre ?
@@sammyd8860 welcome to the renaissance
@@sammyd8860 XD
Beautiful reaction) Thank you for sharing!

The thing I love most about ren is that everyone loves him. From other rappers to numerous metal and death metal reactors. To musicians and vocal coaches to just everyday people. Everyone loves ren and enjoys his content. It's very rare to find someone who shatters everything. I go back to falling in reverse as another example or nf
Honestly there's so much variety!! Me recording reacts means Im constantly shown them on my homepage too ahah! mad variety
I know nothing about the physical and mental struggles that come with an auto immune illness,
but i suffer from severe chronic depression and immense loneliness for more than 30 years.
I *know* that evil and nagging voice inside my head, i hear it every single day. It is so powerful and exhausting.
Self doubt, self hate, low to no self esteem, lost the ability to experience joy, nothing excites me anymore. Literally *nothing.*
But a few months ago, Ren pops up on my video suggestions. Now I pretty much listen only to his songs and collabs and with his Band "The big Push".
This bard, multi - instrumentalist, rapper, songwriter, singer, lyricist, producer ... has left me speechless and "WOW !" so many times.
I have watched hundreds of reaction videos to his songs and i really like watching people´s faces and body language when they are blown away by Ren.
I am absolutely certain that he WILL win Grammys in the future.
Awesome reaction. I think most people are left lost for words after watching this first time round. You did a great job in summarising :) I would love to see you react to The Jenny & Screech Tales... If you do this one, please watch the full version with Violets tale included. It's called "Ren - The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full)" and is 13:32 minutes in length.
Honestly this is how I felt! My summarising feels awful sometimes but I've got you with J&S!!! I AM SO EXCITED
Great reaction. Ren is so talented and seems to be able to take any genre and smash it.
he really is. I've found a lot of talent on YT. happy days
I'm 64 years old, I grew up on the Beatles the Stones, The who , zeppelin, Joan Armatrading, Black Sabbath,Stone roses, guns n' roses, AC/DC, James, blur,The Prodigy and Radiohead !! I could go on but you know what I mean.
Discovered Ren less than a week ago, and already think he's the most talented artist performer and writer of mylifetime.🤯
So jealous that you get to experience this man’s widely remarkable catalog for the first time. Enjoy sub added.
I have a big ol' catalogue to get through!! AHHHH
Thanks for the sub :D
Ren is a phenomenal Performance Artist! Great reaction video thank you.
first off Chlooeeeexo thanks for not pausing every 10 seconds like most do, this is fuqin genious, it brings mental health into light and shows each of us we have that negative voice putting fear or depression on us and how we fight it off i don't care if you're muhammed ali bruce lee we all have that eternal dance for me its alcohol, weed and tobacco, hooked on all 3 when i was 7, and being forced to go to sunday school and church every sunday aged 4-16, it was the swing 60's now i'm 60 and 8 years post massive stroke, tobacco every minute....smoke a cig it relaxes you curbs your appetite me.... they are so bad for me, they stink my girlfriend and friends hate em, tobacco, we've been together 43 years you can't quit me, and so on every one of has a negative thought pattern trying to tear us down, just remember people we are'nt angels, and not as bad as demons, so stay strong baby its a scary rough world much love from central cali from a desert rat 70's metalhead
Thank you for not stopping the song. You have an amazing review.
I try not to, sometimes its impossible haha
Ren calls his style "Bardcore" which is a good description because his acoustic guitar has nylon strings which makes it sound more like a lute. His storytelling style is most evident in "The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full)." The "sequel" to "Hi Ren" is "Sick Boi" and his most recent release is "Illest of Our Time" which is a double entendre given the knowledge of his health issues. The most popular of his collabs is "Chalk Outlines" with Chinchilla.
I also like The Hunger.
Welcome! Welcome to the rabbit hole that is REN!! You will see and feel his inspiration that has been given to so many of his fans. He's so talented and so musically versatile! Story telling to rap and reggae. Enjoy 😉 love Ren 💙
I’ve heard the term ‘Bardcore’ thrown about. Seems pretty fitting ☺️
I see this a lot!! ahhh
Ren is an amazing artist, he has managed to verbally show the constant subconscious battle that so many of us play against daily due to depression, low self esteem and anxiety for taken that leap for urself. As someone who has unfortunately suffered with this battle for many years and still today iv always struggled in how to explain things to friends and family and Ren has been able to be that voice for so many of us
I feel this. I think a lot of people relate to this video for these exact reasons
Thank you for reacting to Ren! Sick boi is a great next step
Anytime!! I will check it out :D
If you're all aboard the Ren train now, the next place to go from here has to be the Tale of Jenny and Screech (full version with all 3 songs of the trilogy). After that, it gets hard to pick, I've watched a lot of his stuff since I heard Hi Ren, and he never misses. But the Tales are on another level entirely - genuine Shakespearean masterpiece stuff
Honestly I'm ready!! J&S next!!
Agree
Wellcome to Ren's World, he and his friends are really amazing!! Great reaction, thank you!!
First of all, first time visiting your channel, and wow,you are absolutely gorgeous, had to get that out of the way lol.
This work of art that Ren has created, it's more than just music, more than just art, it's his soul given for all to see and experience, I must have watched it a hundred times in the past couple weeks since I discovered it.
I honestly had to stop it first time, I had to turn it off, it reached soo deep inside and I realized, that's me, I've dealt with that psychosis all my life, I was born with those voices and never went through therapy or took medication, I learned the same things he did on my own, but when I buckled up and went back to watch it all the way through, I'm in tears right now typing this, it gave me such empowerment, I still struggle, but this beautiful piece Ren has created, has helped me gain more peace, and he has such courage to do what he has done, and I now have courage to come out to people and say, yes, I have this problem, I've had it all my life, but I'm human and I'm flawed,but I'm ok, and I am better than what my other self says.
This is not just art, it's a beautiful gift of knowledge , given by one who has endured the flames, and come out forged and stronger than ever, sooo beautiful.
OK that was a long comment, please watch his video with chinchilla, it's called Chalk Outlines, another amazing work of art.
Thank you Clay, I appreciate it :) It is a gift, a different, beautiful gift. I will be checking out the next songs don't you worry! :D
Keep an eye for the next ones!!
Awesome reaction to this. Thank you for sharing! I have become obsessed with Ren. You definitely should check out the other songs, "similar to this". HOWEVER, I think next, to see a different side, you should do his video with his band "The Big Push" doing the cover/mash up of "I shot the Sheriff". But the one on the street, where he is wearing the red suspenders. PLEASE. You WILL be blown away. I promise.
There are many little bits in this video... When he first plays the guitar, 1/2 through he makes this interesting smile and his guitar playing changes... like there was some chaos added in there. The OOO OOO OOO at the beginning of the end remind me of a narrator... an angelic narrator. Before he tries to lock up bad Ren he seems to have a moment of doubt - he looks at his guitar and finishes the task. What an amazing work.
I'm only coming late to REN. But I just wanted to say that Cloe pretty much was me. Initially.... wtf, then realising what and who we just watched and listened to. And if that portrayed just Ren's story or more everyman. Whatever way we see it or take it, it's powerful, connecting, visceral deep, and deserving of praise for pushing the viewer's introspection.
A class act. And great reaction, Chloe, to something so dynamic and deep.
I'm so late to the party too but it's ok Sean we're both HERE now :D I love how everyone connects with it in a different way. Difference is you all SEE my thoughts, but with comments I hear y'all
He's one of those guys that will suck you in a rabbit hole..I heard this a couple months back now the first half of my Playlist I listen to daily is nothing but him. He's so good that when you listen to someone else it's kinda disappointing lol..he has a huge catalog. The journey begins..he does all these live to btw..he raps to. Plays every instrument,sings etc..all in one type
This is art with big A. Like someone once says "the best,most beautyfull things comes from the broken ones".... True AF
Welcome to the Renegades! ❤️ Next you should do the tale of jenny and screech (full) be sure to do the one that says "full" it's 3 parts.
Great reaction to a true GENIUS. Liked & subscribed in anticipation of you reacting to more Ren.
Cheers 👍🍻
I really found sooo much of myself in this too! It's so relatable. He's a pure freaking genius!
He's what they call a generational talent. Seeing and hearing this video is akin to that time in the early 1960s when people first heard Bob Dylan. They knew it was unconventional (for the times), but brilliant.
my connection to this song is only the similarity of struggle,,
i'm undiagnosed autistic and have struggled with being a bit weird my whole life i had to start my own business because i had problems holding a job with sleep disorders and high ethics.. but managed to stay in business the last 40 years without needing to advertise or even carry a card, i run a lawn and tree service, a 1st responder thru 40 years of hurricanes in fla ,and do all phases of construction and kind of an inventor on the side, after six years of development i figured out a disaster response product that could help millions worldwide .. then my insurance agent forgot to post a payment back in 2020 and the state took everything i worked the last 40 years for away .. stuck at home like a prisoner i came online and saw people helping others so i started making videos explaining what i was. trying to do to get help, and found out if the platform your uploading to doesn't promote you your just talking to your phone, and then i see stuff like this and get jealous because i will never write a song that gets peoples attn like this. so my chances of bringing my ideas to the world are fading. and it's scary as hell to think of all that could be, but it may all be lost because one person forgot to hit enter on there keyboard.. and my chances of succeeding alone are close to those of getting out of quicksand alone..
Ren's genre = Yes! He does it all.
Whatever genre it is, wicked.
Amazing reaction, heartfelt and spot on, so glad you found him because there is a deep dive ahead of you!
Very nice reaction. Ren quickly became my favorite artist. Hope you check out more of his music on his channel, as well as the band he played with, The Big Push. They're awesome.
I’ll check the band! I got recommended some live stuff of him busking in Brighton! So moving the effect his music has on people
@@chlooeeeexo it sure is. I've yet to listen to something by him that wasn't great. Enjoy 🙂
Really true and honest reaction, thanks. Much love from Queensland Australia 🦘💜
You are right on point- There are no adequate words to describe this unique, moving and truly therapeutic work of art.
However, your reaction was, itself, moving and a brilliant summary. I am now a new subscriber.
Honestly so hard to describe this. Extraordinary is a good one.
@@chlooeeeexoI think that the best way to appreciate Ren is to keep an open mind and draw your own meaning, which is what you did.👍
Love how you compared it to a painting in a museum. I listen to this song constantly cause I deal with similar issues, but you're not wrong. This song is not a daily thing. It rips your emotions and psyche out in front of yourself and makes you really look at yourself.
You're right, i cant listen to it everyday the feeling you get from watching it for the first time is NUTS.
Thank you for watching
I found you because of Ren. You are definitely good enough. I enjoyed watching you. You're doing a great job x
Ren is epic and I think that his storytelling is definitely Shakespearean and bardic for a modern audience.
Cringe
Really liked your reaction to this. From the first time that I heard it I knew that it was really special. Genre wise, for me, it has to go performance art. I can’t see this tune having the impact that it does as it’s portrayed here if it were simply an audio track.
You need that visual along with that audio. It is certainly a unique work as far as I’m concerned.
I literally watch a reaction video every night because I want reaction contributors to be as blown away as I was when I first watched it.
Absolutely stunning piece of work. Mind blowing! 🤯 x
Honestly I agree, performance art! I think I love it a lot because when I was a lot younger I listened to a lot of spoken word / emo / post hardcore haha. I know it's a completely different genre but this was great :D Enjoy your reaction vids, honestly so worth it seeing these first realisation moments!
Lovely reaction. It really is that powerful.
Super powerful.
Thank you for not stopping and starting to comment. Watching your face was enough. Thank you for sharing to your subscribers. Everyone should experience this.
Honestly this means a lot. Maybe I need to pause LESS XD
You're on a roll chlooeeeexo !! Several great bits of conetent/reaction/discussion in a row. Means I'll probably have to stick around ;) I'm pretty new to Ren... defer to others.
Thank you! Loving Ren, and so much more.
This is art of transcendent beauty and an *important* song.
Artists often struggle with imposter syndrome. There’s a movie starring Olivia Munn called “Violet” that rings of this and was a transformative experience for me-much the same as this song resonates.
As a person who’s never been able to escape negative self-talk and imposter syndrome, *realizing* that I can exert the strength that destructive voice questions-strength that already resides within me-was sooo important.
It takes time to push past the negativity-to make your own voice stronger, but if anyone out there is struggling with this, please please please *know* that you can do it.
*Know* that I believe in you… but you don’t need me to-just like you don’t need the shroud of doubt that feels first of protection and then as a prison.
You are *stronger* than that voice.
You are stronger than you can *possibly* know…
until you push back with softness or aggression-your choice.
Awesome reaction! I hope to hear you do more reactions to Ren!
I’m ready!!!
Any genre and so musically great. Watched over 200 reactions now just on Hi Ren. Been down his rabbit hole and nothing disappoints. He genuinely appreciates all Reactors and also his videos are not copyrighted so will wave any claims to them 🙏
This was live and four takes with close-ups added to the end. Cost £1000 to make and his friend Samuel Perry-Falvey filmed it.
Ren and Chinchilla Chalk Outlines and How To Be Me live are so good.
Sick Boi his new album will be out this year and 16 tracks.
Rap to Rock to Reggae influences that lyrically get you sucked in and can hear words. I'm 55 and hated Rap tbh. Poetry/art/music though he really is great.
Just subbed 👍👍👍
100 reactions!! UNREAL!!
£1000 for this, UNREAL too and now look at the reactions and viewership! WORTH.
Unreaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal. Thats it. I used to love a lot of whiny emo / artsy poetry like a band called La dispute proper got me in to it when I was younger haha
Great reaction welcome to ren some amazing songs to come love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍
Thank you!!!
He calls his music " Bardcore " i ain't gonna argue with him about that ✌♥️
Love the fact that you let it just play and commented at end. Your visual cues were all that were needed during his performance. Also was filmed in one take...let that sink in a min.
Thank you, that means so much. I know!! it's crazy how much I learn from you all haha
You would love the Jenny, screech and violet trilogy (full version) played back to back. An emotional rollercoaster!
I reacted to Jenny, Screech & Violets trilogy... ruclips.net/video/0LUM-j6sfjU/видео.html You're right, I was emotional ha
After this you definitely need to watch the full video of Jenny &Screech’s tale the full 3 songs🙏🏽
Is that a dreamcatcher tat? Nice, Native American here, we're all one right? You're a beautiful soul, stay strong youngster❤️
Every single song of his is 🔥 🔥 🔥. A lot of people react to sick boi next as it seems like a natural continuation from showing the importance of mental health to his criticism of the Healthcare industry. It all depends what you would like to explore. For example, epic storytelling: "The tale of Jenny and screech (Full version)" ; fun, upbeat, positive jams ("humble", "what you want" etc,) for straight on rap rap ("The Hunger," "Losing it," "Illest of our times," "Ocean," "Life is funny" etc), Discussion of serious topics (eg "Dominoes," "Genesis " "Dear God," "Insomnia" etc), political criticism ("Money game I &II," "Crucify your culture)" straight on singing ("Chalk outlines," "How to be me"). Hope you go down the rabbit hole and do more postings 🙏
❤️
The strange thing about humans is there is such a narrow sweet spot. There are so many that live this same life. But, there are those that don't have that inner struggle. They don't get it. They've lived their entire life with no one, not even themselves, challenging them.
Exceptional reaction -- thanks! I'll be subscribing to your channel.
Ren has self-identified his music as bardcore. His background as a busker you can liken to the position of the wondering minstrel all the way back to Greek times; they were often referred to as bards in Britain.
Ren's songs have been my stability since the beginning of the year. It is amazing how he gets people to connect, uplift and comfort each other. Those who have been through the trenches can relate and they gravitate towards each other. It's beautiful how his music and positivity ripples through humanity.
Welcome to the Ren Rabbithole 🫶🏻
Im enjoying it so far! I know I have a lot to get through
Alllllll aboard! Rabbit hole activated. Enjoy the Ren experience. Dope reactions, subbed.
Thats awesome, i appreciate it.
What an amazing reaction ! Much love, Cloee !
Welcome to the world of Ren! Great true reaction. There are lots of reactions to this piece of art. Some of the best are from folks who start by trying to analyse it but end up being overcome by it. Keep Reacting! for more info see comments below.
Thank you! I appreciate it. Always putting off videos so I can offer a true reaction.
Bard-core is his genre. A true artist. He has an amazing catalog. Dive in and enjoy!!!
You're right!
Great reaction! You are right...this is not a song, it is a piece of amazing performance art.
I started following you cause I loved your accent and it was by accident when I clicked on a RUclips suggestion that's to say how sometimes the algorithms do it right , the same that it did to you to discover Ren I love the guy, his song had helped me cope with my crippling depression and anxiety last year all his songs totally describe situations that if you don't experience you don't know how it feels really
Thank you so so much. I really hope you're doing alright and I'm glad he's helping you find yourself and more about coping.
Massive props to you & hugs your way!
Love how he makes people feel.
@@chlooeeeexo Thank you the same goes to you ❤❤
Love your reaction!
Let me know your favourite Ren song.. Is there a specific order to these songs? Everyone says different things!! AHH
This song is a solo song you good, but if you do fall down this glorious rabbit hole and do (which you will get asked at least 100 times) is The tale of Jenny and Screech, which Ren does have a full video on his channel which is in correct order ( I do recommend all at once ) Good luck on this journey :)
Money game parts 1 and 2 would explain the sea shells
His band the " The Big Push" is also amazing
@@X-Stream24 he has a band!!!!!???
@@chlooeeeexo The Big Push is a busking band, check out the cover of I Shot the Sheriff.
Have you ever offered a kind word to someone simply because you recognized it was needed? Fed someone who was hungry? Provided an encouraging hug? Of course, you have. These connections are necessary for the healthy growth of humanity. As humans, we are all born with the capacity to be each other's therapist in moments. We are all good enough.
This.
Your in for a treat!!
Ahhh, the Ren jaw drop! 😂
I wrote this introduction to Ren when I first discovered him earlier this year, as there wasn’t a Wikipedia entry for people to look him up prior to March 2023. I have posted this info to every “Hi Ren” reaction I have come across since, and I hope it will be of some use to the uninitiated. “Hi Ren” is the song that put Ren on everyone's radar since December; it went viral and has garnered over 10 million views since its debut, but he has been creating great music for more than ten years. Ren’s music videos are generally recorded live, often in a single take, although not necessarily the first take, and from various camera angles. His release, "Sick Boi," is almost another chapter to "Hi Ren." Many of Ren’s songs resonate with people because he addresses struggles that many others face every day.
Ren is an independent artist/singer/songwriter/busker from Brighton, UK. He plays multiple instruments (acoustic, electric, and bass guitar, piano, drums), has impressive vocals, is an excellent storyteller, and is quite the philosopher and poet. He is considered by many a modern-day bard; he calls his music “bardcore.” Ren’s earliest recordings on RUclips are from his time in a band called “Trick The Fox,” consisting of Ren and his buddies Charlie and Tommy. Unfortunately, the band performed only briefly due to Ren’s onset of health issues. They are very talented. A fun clip to watch is “The Mash Up.”
Ren’s trilogy "The Tale of Jenny/Screech/Violet" has been likened to a Shakespearean tragedy and is a prime example of his genius; it is a master’s class in storytelling and also showcases his guitar skills. The three acts are haunting, and the conclusion will catch you off guard. The trilogy needs to be watched in the order given, as this is the flow of the storyline and is best watched as a whole rather than piecemeal.
Ren’s collaborations with Chinchilla (“Chalk Outlines,” “How to Be Me,” “Sexual Healing,” “One Dance/Drunk in Love”) are beautiful and showcase his singing voice. His live music videos are especially impressive. 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, although it is less of a personal song than it is an indictment of greed and the resulting injustices in this world.
Ren’s Hip Hop/Rap style songs are all worth checking out if you enjoy this genre; they are pretty amazing. Check out “Genesis,” “What You Want,” “Losing it (FISHER rap retake),” “Right Here, Right Now (Fatboy Slim one shot retake),” "Life is Funny," “Love Music (Parts 1, 2, and 3),” “Crucify Your Culture,” “Power,” "Hold On," his new release “Bittersweet symphony (The Verve retake),” and his latest release "The Illest Of Our Time," just to name a few.
Ren's performances with Sam Tompkins (“Blind Eyed,” “Earned It /Mans World / Falling,” “Walking on the Moon/No Diggity,” “Feeling Good/Trouble So High/Masterblaster (Jammin'),” “Latch,” “Wild Thoughts/Crazy in love (Live Session),” “Same Old Situation (Live, feat. Ren),” “Improvising Around Stevie Wonder,” “What Went Wrong” Part I&II) are definitely a must. Also, his collaborations with Eden Nash (“Humble,” “Ocean”), Bibi (“Crutch,” “Ahiahiaoha”), Molly McKinna (“Penitence”), Orlean ("Jessica"), his former bandmate Romain Axisa (“French Song”), are all great. Last but not least, Ren’s busking sessions with Liv Sangster are awesome. I recently discovered that Ren also recorded a cover of “Can't Help Falling In Love (Elvis Cover),” that is simply beautiful.
"The Big Push" (Ren Gill, Gorran Kendall, Romain Axisa, and Glen Chambers) busking sessions, concerts, and live recordings all are amazing and well worth checking out. All but the drummer sing lead vocals at times. Ren, Gorran, and Romain all play multiple instruments. Ren plays acoustic, electric, and bass guitar, piano, and drums. Gorran plays acoustic, electric, bass guitar, and harmonica. Romain plays acoustic, electric, bass guitar, ukulele, and piano. They are each incredibly gifted artists, and their solo work is completely different from each other. Well worth checking out. Their covers of "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop," "Wade in the Water/Nina Simone/Trouble so Hard," "Watch Out," “War Pigs,” “Roadhouse Blues,” "My Generation," “Paint It Black,” "An Englishman in New York," “Bongo Bong” are awesome. On “These Boots Are Made For Walking,” “Praise You” (Fatboy Slim Cover), “What Kind Of Woman Is This,” all three take a turn singing. The songs "Oh My Woman," “Swan Song,” “Sweet Little Lady," "It's Alright," “Dignity,” and so many others are equally impressive.
The band, at least for the time being, performed their last official busking session and gave their last concert in September of last year (2022) due to the fact that Ren was leaving for Canada to undergo specialized medical care and surgeries for his multiple health issues.
In anticipation of his stay in Canada, Ren prepared some music ahead of time to be released over the next six months that he expects to be gone. He released “Sick Boi” and “Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve retake),” which is another masterful work. Ren just released his newest song, “Illest Of Our Time,” on his birthday, March 29.
Nice reaction to a masterpiece. Welcome to the rabbit hole!
No matter how many times I hear this....I cry because it hits really close to home

It's a beautiful shirt! I saw them at bloodstock 21 they were incredible 🤘
I loved your reaction to this video.
Great reaction ❤
Thank you!
If you want to really understand just how eclectic REN'S range is, you can watch the video "Losing It" ruclips.net/video/mLvAGjhDssc/видео.html (the Fisher Rap Remake) and see his fun side. It is crazy just how talented this guy is, from his Reggae take ruclips.net/video/uSeCuR51rek/видео.html on Bob Marley's "I shot the Sherriff" by the Big Push (that band is no longer together, however, as REN has gone solo) to duets like "Chalk Outlines" that continue on the mental illness theme. duckduckgo.com/?q=ren+x+chinchilla+-+chalk+outlines&atb=v358-1&t=chromentp&iar=videos&iax=videos&ia=videos&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D35yALr_opeg He has been around for a long time, and his RUclips rabbit hole runs deep, as I now have a playlist with at least 10 REN excellent songs and another 10 good ones.
If you want an astonished view of Rens range & talent, watch these. The Hunger, Losing it, Money game, Ocean, Dear God, Do you believe , The big push, I shot the sheriff & Animal. You will be stunned at his range Rap, Reggae, jazz, there's just no end to his genres. He plays every instrument produces & performs. He is very sick check out Ren interview with Justin Hawkins from the Darkness if you want to know him.
So fun facts about the song and ren is he isn't trained to play guitar he is self taught and learned from RUclips videos also he did this song as a 1 take and live so there was 4 versions of the song done all 1 takes and this was the best one if you see at the top of the robe aswell there is a mic for the live recording
Great take on this song.
I would consider Ren his own genre
Oh you bet
You really need to react to Ren's Thank You Speech celebrating his 1 millionth Subscriber!! We want to be there with you when you watch it!!
Full version of the Jenny , Screech and Violet tales should be your next listen if you enjoyed this emotional roller coaster...
I am so ready, I think.. maybe, not really but this week.....
