Don’t apologize for crying. I think people who have a loud and harsh inner critic feel this song early. You made it FAR longer than I did. 😂
I made it to “…not your place to bite off the hand that feeds me.”
Me too 😊
Authentic reaction, beautiful!
Absolutely don't apologize for crying. Not only are you not alone, but we (as Hi Ren-reaction viewers) want to experience the same strong feelings we had earlier through you.
9 minutes and 20 sec of pure genius.
I've been following Ren since I heard this masterpiece back in January.
The guy is a lyrical genius.
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole ❤️
me as well!! the rabbit hole is life changing if you're lucky enough to have the ego fall away, let his genius settle in and heal! ren is truly a gift of acceptance of the human condition! all of its beauty, pain, anger, shame, grief, violence, abuse, happiness, hope and sometimes just silliness! i am a better human having discovered him back in late December, what a gift I received from his words!! humble is a favorite. peace✌
I must've heard this song at least five times before I realized it was 9 minutes long. Time really does fly in good company.
❤
Genius…I called my son once I heard this and he listened to and was speechless.
Ren will make you cry, dance, laugh, and shake your head in amazement. Always unexpected, always articulate, always memorable. He also has some beautiful duets with the singer Chinchilla, and with Sam Tompkins. And let's not forget his work with the street band, The Big Push. Thank you, Empress for sharing with us.
Well said
REN is still dealing with the damage to his body and brain from years of misdiagnosed Lyme disease. He was bedridden for years. Psychosis was his stress reaction. He regained some health after 2 stem cell transplants but is now being treated in Canada for the damage done to his brain organs,joints and immune system.
He is very inspiring.
Think you would love his singing in Chalk Outlines or How to be Me, live with Chinchilla.
Ren is the Original "Bardcore Genre Bender" The Master Bard himself ( Shakespeare ) would have understood exactly where Ren was coming from. Ren isn't just a songwriter but rather a Performance Art Master who blends music and character acting from all the styles over the last 500 years and makes it modern and relatable to all generations even if normally you may not be a fan of whatever genre he is currently performing. The Ren Rabbit Hole is Deep and Powerful! Get Ready for the Ride of your Life!
Opened mouth awe, and a few tears, are entirely appropriate. This guy is monumental. I was ROCKED. I couldn't speak for an hour. My mind was too busy. I felt like I just had an hour of intense therapy. Please feel free to shed some unnecessary loneliness and fear right along with me. Music IS art. So is writing, acting, filming, and speaking. I feel the ages in him; I feel Shakespeare in his rap. As far as "stealing other people's music" one studying ANY kind of art begins their study by studying those who have gone before. Then one takes those ideas and comes up with their own work. This is a musical tapestry. That's just the MUSIC...not counting the camera work; the spoken word/acting part; the fact he wrote and performed it BY HIMSELF without elaborate costumes, background dancers, or flashy graphics....just literally BARE BONES. Thanks for posting your reaction; Emperess. Your true thoughts on it will take a while to percolate. It's a LOT to digest.
Doesn't everyone of us have this inner dialog? Ren gave words to it, by showing his, he transcended it and he gave his conclusions. It resonates with so many of us, so it went viral. (And he is an independent artist, not pushed by industry) I am really grateful, to have found his music, because it was really connecting (like he said) ☀🌧🌈
I read somewhere that only between 30% and 50% of humans have an inner voice... That not only shocked me... But scared me...
That was such a beautiful reaction. Thanks for understanding that this is a masterful art piece that most people can relate to in one way or another
Its not about fighting your demons or your shadow but more of learning to dance with part of you. In my humble opinion. U have to love all of you even your shadow.
Welcome to the Ren journey, Hold on tight honey Great reaction ❤
Thank you so much @joshuaegli4033
No matter how many times I watch it, I always cry.
Ren is the most inspirational human you could ever meet.
He is still suffering with his illness, but has become a shining beacon of light.
Yes this is a true story. His story but he made it more open to everyone to recognise the same battle we all have in our heads.
I'm 61 years old , roofed houses for 40 years. But I can't get through this song without tears.
"Hi Ren" and "Su*cide" get the water works started every time.
Every time. Every damn time. And I’m not even a crier.
I believe I have watched all the Hi Ren reactions ( 100's ) and never tire of seeing new reactors. You facial expressions were really very special and made it such a powerful watch. You will be able to read more once some hardcore Ren fans start posting the amazing back story. I would suggest Ren X Chinchilla LIVE Chalk Outlines, it is very special and then chose any from the other 200 plus ( inc The Big Push )
His backstory is tragic, troubling and yet uplifting and inspiring. Just wait until you see more of his stuff. Amazing. Truly I think this generation's Bob Dylan, someone that will sparks whole new appreciation of song/story writing art.
dylan, bowie, mercury, marley........lol he is educated for sure!!
Wow that was cool! It was like Middle Ages guitar playing mixed with funk and hip hop vocals! And the commentary at the end of the song was amazing and truthful! What a great reaction Empress and your commentary was spot on! Thank you for introducing us to it and enjoy your evening!
I loved his style of music so much. Thank you @Matthewleonhardt2407 🥰
That Meryl Streep "Fatal Attraction: 'I WON'T BE IGNORED, DAN!'" moment: "I'm not leftover dinner.! I'm not scraps on the side!"
Beautiful reaction, please board the Ren train and react to more of him. You won't be disappointed, the most important artist of our generation, deserving of all the love and support. There's music.... then there's Ren.
The RENegade community is an ever growing, diverse and amazing thing to be apart of, we hope you stay lol.
@mattslade1633 I’ve now become a part of the RENegade community.
You won't be disappointed with anything he has done! They are all amazing and so different from each other.
Isn’t it funny how those of us who are labeled as “unstable or mentally ill” are the ones with such compassion for life and such emotion for describing it that we feel it in our bones, opposed to those they call “normal” who have no emotional state to something as beautiful as this.. At what point did life decide it wanted us to LIVE backwards? Because that’s just EVIL.. This is why I drown myself in liters of alcohol and Baptist myself daily in a pool full of liquor, so I can “feel normal” yet it leaves me like a tree in autumn and detaches itself from me making my depression grow in tainted soil… Sending my blessings to any and everyone ❤
Thank you for your reaction. You made me cry all over again.
Joy, your reaction is the most beautiful I have ever seen (and by now I must have watched a hundred reactions to "Hi Ren"). I still cried with you. There is no greater struggle in the cosmos than that struggle within where we determine ourselves to be a child of Hope instead of a child of despair. I loved your emotional reaction.
I love watching people react to this video. ❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
"The more I cursed my clumsy footsteps, the more I struggled" - yes indeed.
Ren makes people feel empathy and also makes people think about what’s really important in life. And that’s not about selling records or making big money, it’s about living your life with a connection to the inner you, and making the earth to a better place for other people and all the other creatures, the nature and it’s ok to not be 100% happy all the time❤️ Respect for the amazing Ren💕🎶
Wonderful and honest reaction. Thank you!
Ren has so many great songs its mind boggling
That firm nodding of the head and smile, when Ren explains that his music is connecting to real people (but he himself has no "connections" with the vile industry that sucks the soul out of everything these days) is golden to me. Not many reactors I have watched hit on that specific thought, and it is such a huge one. I love you for that, and also your good vibes.... and the three trails off to one side. Nice clean composition frame. ♥
I'm new to your channel: liked/subscribed. I envy you you seeing him for the first time and just beginning your journey into the Ren-o-verse. Ren had Lyme disease and was misdiagnosed for about 8 years. Lyme attacks EVERYTHING over time, including the brain. By the time he got his diagnosis his body and brain were trashed and he was confined to bed 23 hours a day. He's fighting his way back. Currently he's receiving daily treatment in Canada. There are still only a handful of things he can eat without his body shutting down, so he's not "well" as we normally think of it. But he's better - so much better. Working out, making music. He's from Wales, in the videos you'll see him performing in the streets of Brighton, England. As everyone has said, he's amazing. He does fun things that will make you laugh, but he's a serious artist who thinks carefully about the world around him, and his many of his lyrics carry his thoughts. One month from now he's dropping a hip hop album, so he's prepping for that now by dropping music to attract the hip hop crowd and 'put them on notice.'
Thank you for subscribing
I love watching everyone's reactions after his speech and the songs done. It's always at least a minute of just aww and silence. He's today's Shakespeare. He's phenomenal. Also. Following you. Lol
I tried to stay strong through it all, but his speech at the end got me 🥲 that was the breaking point for me. REN is GREAT!
Thank you @dustinpastula8738
Your reaction was great. You asked for help in understanding. I think your heart understood it 100%. You will get more by reading the lyrics in detail, but I could see by your emotions that you were feeling the message. I'm a long time watcher and subscriber. I love what you do. Thank you Joy! Stay awesome!
Thank you so much dear. I truly appreciate your support.
Yes, It's wonderful that Ren has this affect.
Fortunately, he has many anecdotes for the heavy song you just experienced. The crazy thing is that he's got so many styles.
You don't know this yet, but your favorite rap song is one of Ren's. It's called LOSING IT. It's fun and you'll love it. You watch him have about nine different flows and it even has a BEAST mode in the song, literally.
Your introduction reaction to Ren is as authentic and genuine as they come.
The problem is he has so many good choices after this. You have to ask yourself, what do you want.🤔...light, medium, heavy?
This boy will blow ur mind dig deep lovely;) 😢😂🎉😊
Ren is truly a genius. I am so impressed with his work. Lovely reaction Empress! 😊
I think everyone that heard this HI-Ren video for the 1st time had similar thoughts,i only discovered him from this very same video and this is the one that pushed the whole ren catalogue out there.There is so much Ren has done prior to this that no one knew of including myself.since this song i have listened to virtually all he has done both solo and with chinchilla..and we also have the band "The big push" he was in and before that the band "trick the fox" the rabbit hole of Ren is not one genre infact you cannot place him in one ! lovely reaction and be prepared if you go further for more moments like this one. 🇬🇧
As many have said before this is an experience/theatre, much more than just a song. His duets with Chinchilla are amazing then you have Chinchilla on her own. Independent artists who answer to no one
Hi Empress ! Wow, this was a beautiful and heartfelt reaction to this masterpiece of a song. Ren is a Welsh singer, songwriter, producer, actor (kind of) and multiintrumentalist, who - as you have heard in his final statements in this video - is mentally ill. And almost all of his songs deal with his illness, its consequences, its dangers and its problems. Me, I just recently, maybe two weeks ago, stumbled upon him by coincidence in another reaction video and I immediately fell in love with his music, his voice, his lyricism, and his musicaö talent in general. I can only highly rfecommend to check out mpre songs from Ren, they all have really deep and powerfui lyrics, as well as a high quality use of images and metaphors. You can check out the following songs, they are ALL amazing and will leave you speechless and emotionally touched :
Ren x Chinchilla : Chalk outlines (live)
Ren x Chinchilla : How to be me (A song he wrote after one of his best friends committed suicide.... very emotional !)
Ren : Sick boi
Ren : Trilogy - The tale of Jenny and Screech (in my opinion the most impressive work from him, but you have to hear all three songs, until the very end to understand this whole amazing story !)
That'll be enough for a start to dig more into Ren's musical world.
Best wishes from Germany : Gerry
Thank you so much for the song suggestions, Gerry @troedelgerry
Best Piece of art I've witnessed in this 21st century. As this being near the 40th time experiencing this, I hope I never stop sheading a tear every time I do in the future. His tale of Jenny and Screech is excellent and I really enjoyed his Money Game I & !! and he's currently working on Money Game III. His recent works may be a maturing from his younger self but it all is amazing art. Art will art. Peace/JT
This is the kind of artistry that gives "broken" people hope. Ren, through this performance piece, has become to a lot of people exactly what he stated in the song, "...the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope". So powerful, so impactful. The song structure itself is incredible. It starts off as a battle between his positive (Angel) and negative (Demon) aspects, the negative then makes an overpowering last ditch effort to reign supreme, tearing free and trying to take control, but ultimately fails as the final act, being the "God" aspect, emerges Triumphant, though still acknowledging and accepting that it will ALWAYS be a battle because we are all "a coin with 2 different sides". It's a beautifully cathartic and raw musical masterpiece. Ren is truly special. Welcome to the Ren rabbit-hole, it's a trip worth taking. This was the 4th take he did and yes, it was done live. Wait until you hear some of his other stuff, especially his storytelling ("The Tale of Jenny & Screech"). You haven't even touched the breadth of this young man's talent yet.
The pig character (imo) represents the doctors and therapist who have essentially butchered him for years through their misdiagnosis. It's the system that focuses on peddling more pills than on genuinely trying to help to fix broken/ill people, caring more about profit than individual health. The bastardization of the hippocratic oath. He literally thought he was going insane because he was told repeatedly that the pain and symptoms he was experiencing were all in his head (psychosomatic). He had reached a point where he literally resigned himself to dying before he reached 30. Turns out he had Lyme's disease the whole time and it ran rampant through his system for 10 years, even to the point of causing brain damage. Ironically, if Ren hadn't gone through what he has, would he have ever made the art he has? There's no question that his suffering has shaped his music and now he's finally getting the recognition he undoubtedly deserves. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Ren is special.
Try Jenny and Screech trilogy, you'll be crying again. Great reaction.
Awesome reaction sweetheart!
Darealdeal
Great Reaction!
I recommended this to you 5 months ago in my comment to the Kinks Lola .
So it was worth the wait.
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole.
Thank you so much @Nick60606 😊
Your face luv hi rens reactors faces on first viewing !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🇬🇧 renegade!❤❤
He is a musical genius!
A reaction the song deserves…
Beautiful
Subbed to watch more of your Ren reactions.
Thank you 😊
We ALL cry 🥹 Welcome to the movement that is...Ren.
Everything I've seen from this man is genius and genuine
Lovely reaction. This is definitely a piece of art that deserves many re-examinations. And the community of fans he's building are some of the most compassionate people you'll meet. We understand pain. Many of us (myself included) also deal with chronic illnesses, and have had to learn the dance of acceptance. Welcome!
Beautiful reaction
Glad you enjoyed!
When I first listened to Ren (this song, specifically), I bawled for a solid fifteen minutes before I calmed down enough to speak. No shame in releasing what your heart can't physically speak.
Listen to anything by Ren & Chinchilla it is very moving
So pleased u reacted to ren he's brilliant very beautiful reaction from you
No words needed , your reaction said it all beautiful girl ❤
Nice reaction. Can’t believe you didn’t do more Ren after such emotions.
I cry everytime I watch it too.
Wow what a genius musician and lyricist how could you not feel this emotion and cry. Wow wow man you are very very good.
Life altering for some. Life saving for others. For me, confirmation.
You are going to love Ren's Catalog of Music.
Welcome on board the Ren roller coaster - fasten your seat belt because the trip down the Ren rabbit hole will shake, rattle and roll you - a musical genius.
Ren has actually gone through mental health issues and illness he's a beautiful human being he does rap and reggae and collaborated with different artists also he has a very good singing voice try listening to some of his songs hunger,loosing it,power,to name but a few he also has a band called the big push hopefully u will react to more
He’s gone through mental health issues? Wow! I thought as much. He’s a great singer. Yes, I noticed a touch of reggae alongside the rap. Thank you for the information. I’ll surely check out other songs.
@@EMPRESSJOYJEAN He spent multiple years misdiagnosed and treated for things that weren't wrong with him when he actually had Lyme Disease which and cause mental and physical problems. There is also the mental anguish that he has from his best friend who took his own life which Freckled Angels, Su!c!de and For Joe covers.
My to ,seen ite meeby 50 times and evrythime a crying. I am a men ,men doint crying .i do crying fore HE REN😢and more ife a lisen spicial music 😊
HI Joy Jean and welcome to this beautiful RENaissance...🥹
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… just as this song also resonates.
As a person who’s never been able to escape imposter syndrome and negative self-talk, *realizing* that I can exert the strength that destructive voice questions-strength that I *know* I have-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.
Keep listening to him he does everything great
Also great reaction
I layed my oldest to rest in 2015, he passed 12/28/2014...…... I feel this song. It is a fight in my head
Welcome to the Ren train, your in for one hell of a ride, if you think that was heavy, check out his track suicide, Ren is very versatile, and can do most genres, enjoy.
Don't worry girl..I bawled when I heard this song the first time. The night I found this song and Rens music I was planning to take my own life. This song saved my life. Now I just love watching people discovering Ren. I must of watched hundreds of reacton videos. 😊
Beautiful reaction, possibly my new favourite reaction, after your Tom Jones, never love again...❤❤
that's exactly what its about him fighting his inner critic. he had to fight exally what he said at the end with mental health Psychosis and illness autoimmunity and all the doubters.
I watched almost all of the Hi Ren reactions and I like your the most.
I cried with you.
Thank you
Nice reaction....you are so beautiful and expressive. i couldn't take my eyes off you. thx
The great thing about this song is how relatable it is. Even putting mental illness aside, we have all found ourselves in that scenario where we were our own worst enemy and we had no one to help us overcome our old self other than our own self. The eternal dichotomy between good and evil are always and constantly fighting for supremacy within us. Much love. 🤗
I cried with you no need to apologize at all
Struggling from another person in this world of………the way it is. Stay strong 🦾🗝️
Great reaction. Thank you 🫶
I cry every time I watch it.... Prayers up ❤️🙏
Very nice reaction video, Empress Joy Jean.
Yeah he walks , it's a song about his past battles with being sick, mentally & physically !!!!
Absolutely amazing
That what so genuine I'd love to see you react to more of ren
😁😁😁😁😁❤ HI ""GREAT😁😂
Hi ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sing speak feel truth
Welcome down the Ren rabbit hole, the lads a genius!
Absolutely loved your reaction, thank you so much for sharing! I cried along with you listening again.
Im certainly no expert here, but rather just your average guy. That being said, its my opinion, that this guy (Ren) and his performance, reached a level that has never been reached before by any professional singer,artist,musician. I cant think of a single singer/musician that has ever been able to demonstrate talent as Ren did. Ren not only was the musician, but he perfectly performed multiple characters, and sang it in a manner that not only had a good tune to it, but first and foremost, he wrote these lyrics and sang them, while articulating them in a manner that not only was easily understood, but garnered real emotions from those listening. His performance had a command presence.
We love you empress. You have a good heart
Great reaction once again, Ren is such a good lyricist, story teller, rapper, singer and super guitarist. He is the one to watch at mo, massive. He has been through so much and his vision for his videos and one take, live, is so good. He deserves all the recognition and fame.
Beautiful reaction. I think I feel sorry for anybody that See's this and doesn't cry. But maybe I'm jealous there life has been so good they can't relate to it? Definitely Art!
So so glad you did a reaction videos to this!! Thank you so much!
Hi Ren is a masterpiece. Great job 👍
Thank you for your words and reaction for this masterpiece
Hi Joy hope your doing well and healthy today too love the video another great awesome reaction by you again like always on your youtube channel you always give the best reactions on your youtube channel always thank you so much for sharing your video with us love it.🤗👍
@stevedurnell4002 Thank you so much for always checking on me, you’re a sweetheart. Yes, I’m doing fine.
This song takes everybody on a roller coaster of emotions
❤
Good morning Empress! We all must remember we ARE Human Beings. Very comprehensive review. Thank you!
Raw reaction. Respect
So different,so brilliant,loved it.
Welcome to the RENiverse! He is incredible enjoy! Ps thank you for watching all the way through without pausing
I hope you watch this many more times. Every time I listen to it, I get something that I didn't notice before. This is a true work of art.
Ive watched reactions of yours over the last year or so and enjoyed most. I haven't subscribed to many in the past, until Ren. I subbed when i saw your reaction. Thank you.
Welcome aboard! Thank you for finally joining the family 😊
Girl when you said nothing at all.The first 30 seconds after he was done.That was the most mathematics in part of the whole reaction
