He did all his own music, beats, mixing, and video directing! Watch Justin Hawkins interview titled "The Ren Interview"!!! He goes in detail about his illness, how he writes, how he understands music, what's next... etc... Highly Recommend it!!!
Yup. Animal Farm. And Ren as Clockwork Orange's Alex AND Willy Wonka with his funky cane walk. Many folk hear traces of the Oompa Loompa song. And the dogs playing poker. The first dogs playing poker painting was done in 1894. What a great side chuckle. Ren has said this is his favorite video to date. Can't blame him. Amazing work by his videographer. It appears to be a single take by the camera visually. Which means all the players had to be in place ready to go when the camera got there. And the camera didn't follow Ren all the time. He had to run around in the building and get in place for the camera's arrival. An amazing production. By an INDEPENDENT artist. And obviously parts of this song are him letting the world know in no uncertain terms that he WILL be the independent CEO of flow. Damn straight. Blessings.
Another one take using a bunch of his friends. Check out Ren's acoustic version of this, filmed on a moving bus, just him, his guitar and Sam his videographer (and likely some lucky passengers). The acoustic version is raw and subtly more sinister. All the beats in both versions are his own.
You are correct, this is largely based on Animal Farm by George Orwell, with a touch of clockwork orange. It means so much more and you can catch the symbolism when you watch it with that in mind.
Willy Wonka takes you on Toad's psychotic Purge tour of Animal Farm and A Clockwork Orange before welcoming you to Jurassic Park I'll give you an edited versio.. ah hell, you get it all because I'm lazy :) Welcome to the RENaissance, a home for the lost and broken; enjoy the ride - For Bardcore - check out the 3 part Tale of Jenny & Screech If you want to dive more into the rap side of his catalogue, I'd start with "What You Want" which is a brilliant homage to the Beasties, followed with "Genesis" followed by "Sick Boy" followed by "Illest of Our Time" (this one goes after the previous one so you have some grasp of the meaning) and the trail goes from there For more rock oriented fare follow the breadcrumbs to The Big Push and dive in (I personally suggest Sweet Little Lady, Swan Song, Englishman in New York, and the cherry on top 'I Shot The Sherriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop') Last but not least, don't be afraid to check down the alleys, Ren has built himself a circle of talented musician friends that will surprise you and make you glad you chose to look for hidden treasure (Hint: *Chinchilla, Eden Nash, Sam Tompkins, and so many more) (Also Humble w/ Eden Nash is just pure young punk/rude boy heaven) *Chinchilla: Take 1 part Christina, 1 part Jessie J, 1 part Rhianna, blend well and pour over your own unique style, served ice cold by the baddest bitch in town (See Fingers (Live), Little Girl Gone (the official video is just *fun*) *Gorran: I've fallen in love with his tune If (live version) *Romain: I haven't found one that just ... stabs me in the face and says "LISTEN TO ME ON REPEAT" but all of them are ridiculously good
Great reaction! You just don’t know what Ren will do when you start a video. You must play Ren’s “The Take of Jenny and Screech (Full)” trilogy. It’s another unique video. You will not be disappointed!
Ren came up with the concept, designed and directed it, and produced it. One of his friends was the cameraman and another friend let him shoot at his building flat. The set design was whatever they could get in plants and shrubs. The major costs on this video was all the animal maskes that Ren bought plus the walking stick he picked up from a second hand store. I believe Ren said they started set up and rehearsals around 7pm and finished shooting around 4am. Ren wanted to shoot it like Kubrick would have, in one shot, no cuts. Now that's what I call a wonderful group of friends and just goes to prove if your truly talented you don't need thousands of dollars for a music video.😁
Just a small correction. On his twitch stream he said that Samuel didn’t film this one. It was another friend called Luke I think. Such an amazing one!
@@mi-dz6md yep, i just watched it. Lordy it boggles my mind just thinking about all the things Ren does on his own. I'm a retired actor/director, mainly stage but some smaller gigs in television as well. I personally could only wear 1 hat at a time. In taking a job I would either act or direct. Even the artists I've known who could handle both, it's still nothing compared to Ren's accomplishments.🤯
@@robmarar especially that he accomplished all that while struggling with so many health issues! the talent he displays in the tales alone is mind blowing! My admiration for him grows every time I watch them. He’s definitely unique. I’m so happy to see him blowing up like this, he really deserves it
Two things, the video shot all in one shot which is pretty amazing, the second one the writing on the wall and the video is connected to George Orwells animal farm the writer of 1984😊
Read those 7 rules the animals made that appears on the wall early in the video (taken from Orwell’s Animal Farm when the animals rebelled) and then notice that the animals in the video were breaking every single rule. It’s like there are 2 things going on. The visuals go with the lyrics but they also stand alone with deeper meaning. Then there’s the audio song where if you close your eyes to the visual, carry’s on it’s own which aligns with some of his other rap songs -Illest of Our Time, Hunger, Losing It. Ren is a master at double meanings!!!
This song has many references to some cult classics sich as George Orwells animal farm, a clockwork orange, Willy Wonka, 1984 etc. This kid is a Genius...🤔😎🎸
This video, like a lot of his vids, was done in one continuous shot, and was filmed at his friend’s apartment. The animals are all friends he convinced to show up for the shoot.
There are soooo many callbacks to previous pieces, classic films, beyond just clockwork orange in his dress and animal farm on the wall. Talking about blood in the glass and the slaughter of the sheep but the wine glass might be full of wine disallowed by the animals or a callback to cannibalism from the first scene with what looks like a human head. Cane is a third leg - halfway between 2 and 4 legs and some of the animals followed him. There's so much more.
Just a quick FYI.. both versions of Animal Farm movies are available for free here on YT. I love the 50's animated original version the best. But the story is still there in the 90's version that used real actors. It is a story that should be absorbed by every human being and shared. XOXOXO Great reaction guys! XOXOX
Love your reactions and can tell your genuinely blind reacting!! Many others say it’s blind but you can tell it’s not their first watch. Not gonna catch all the meaning or great lyrics first time around. Hope to see more ren reactions from you guys. This song would suit you to react to live
Ren's Katalog is HUGE. Losing It, money game Part 1 and Part II. Genesis, Hunger, Dominoes, What you wont. His BAND the pig push is wauza. Ren and Sam Tompkins- what went wrong Part I and Part II. Blind Eyed whit angry Park guy. Much love from Europe-Austria
you guys are going to lose your sH!t when you see/hear The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full trilogy)---like Hi Ren, each of the 3 pieces are their own songs, all filmed live and on the move. it's' such a good story, and it's odd b/c each song/section gets BETTER. the last one, Violet's Tale, is such a good song, catchy medieval guitar, playing with the acoustics of different spaces he walks through...just BRILLIANT. also, his band The Big Push? just good indie rock, but when they're busking (playing on the streets in public) they cover reggae, old school R&B, old rock (they mash up War Pigs, Paranoid, and even throw in some Rage Against the Machine, among others)...super-versatile, and all the band members are legit band leaders--everyone but the drummer takes turns at lead vocals, and they even switch instruments. so...there's a LOT to discover, even if you don't do it all here on the channel--young as he looks, he's 33, and been making music for well over a decade. i've been watching your channel for a good while (since you were on 4 wheels), but you discovering Ren just made it for me. cheers
Remember that faux wood plastic metronome passing Back & forth & Back again It was quite the bane of my existence as a child Doom Dat Doom Dat Doom Dat “Stay on time Shawn” Nightmarish shit my bro! But I love it and will have your songs played at my funeral!
Please continue your Ren journey! Check out his rapping - Hunger, Losing It, Power, Illest of Our Time; Singing - Chalk Outlines, How to Be Me, Humble, Ocean, Blind Eyed (MC Sessions), and busking with The Big Push…❤
Soooo much better this time! I was like...ok, ill give em another chance. If he disrespects Ren by talking the whole time then never again. 😂 We're super serious about our Ren. Great reaction. Now im watching yall do Sick Boi. 🫶 (Cadence) is the word youre looking for in Sick Boi reaction. ✌️
His music is so diverse. Try genesis and his band the big push, I shot the sheriff to see more of his variety. Also his 2 songs with Eden nash.....oh I could go on and on ....
This song is truth. Ren knows that humans are the most brutal animals on earth and he cofronts the listener with this. Modern society hides this truth with our supermarket mentality. It's unnerving but it is truth nonetheless. It is brilliant really, lots of very clever references.
Next reaction VOB "KILLING IN THE NAME" RATM cover &" ENTER SANDMAN" Metalica cover VOB BAND ROCK TRIO HIJABERS 🇮🇩 VOB consert LIVE AT FRANCE.TRANS MUSICALES DE RENNES 2021👍♥️🤟
He did all his own music, beats, mixing, and video directing!
Watch Justin Hawkins interview titled "The Ren Interview"!!!
He goes in detail about his illness, how he writes, how he understands music, what's next... etc...
Highly Recommend it!!!
don't forget Sam at least, homie
Ren is an artistic fucking gem.
“ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS.”
- Animal Farm: A Fairy Story by George Orwell
How much do you wanna bet that Ren refers back to this song in a future song with a well placed, "yum yum yum yum?"
I friggin hope so!
Awesome theory! That would be crazy if you're right because it seems like thats exactly the brilliance Ren would produce
His whole catalogue of work is filled with references to previous songs and themes. There is a term for it. It's called conceptual
continuity.
It made me smile:)
20 bucks
Yup. Animal Farm. And Ren as Clockwork Orange's Alex AND Willy Wonka with his funky cane walk. Many folk hear traces of the Oompa Loompa song.

And obviously parts of this song are him letting the world know in no uncertain terms that he WILL be the independent CEO of flow. Damn straight.
Blessings.
This is definitely a statement of his power, talent and fundamental independence.
Listen to "Jenny and Screech tale" full story. Mind blowing story telling.
❤
YES!! Do the full trilogy in one vid.
Chalk outlines and the tale of Jenny & Screech full. Those are required listening.
Another one take using a bunch of his friends. Check out Ren's acoustic version of this, filmed on a moving bus, just him, his guitar and Sam his videographer (and likely some lucky passengers). The acoustic version is raw and subtly more sinister. All the beats in both versions are his own.

well said, plus a bit of Willy Wonka
yum yum yum yum yum
HAVE to do the full version of The Tale of Jenny and Screech. Next level story telling. Incredible performance art.
Willy Wonka takes you on Toad's psychotic Purge tour of Animal Farm and A Clockwork Orange before welcoming you to Jurassic Park
I'll give you an edited versio.. ah hell, you get it all because I'm lazy :)
Welcome to the RENaissance, a home for the lost and broken; enjoy the ride -
For Bardcore - check out the 3 part Tale of Jenny & Screech
If you want to dive more into the rap side of his catalogue, I'd start with "What You Want" which is a brilliant homage to the Beasties,
followed with "Genesis" followed by "Sick Boy" followed by "Illest of Our Time" (this one goes after the previous one so you have some grasp of the meaning)
and the trail goes from there
For more rock oriented fare follow the breadcrumbs to The Big Push and dive in (I personally suggest Sweet Little Lady, Swan Song, Englishman in New York,
and the cherry on top 'I Shot The Sherriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop')
Last but not least, don't be afraid to check down the alleys, Ren has built himself a circle of talented musician friends that will surprise you and
make you glad you chose to look for hidden treasure (Hint: *Chinchilla, Eden Nash, Sam Tompkins, and so many more)
(Also Humble w/ Eden Nash is just pure young punk/rude boy heaven)
*Chinchilla: Take 1 part Christina, 1 part Jessie J, 1 part Rhianna, blend well and pour over your own unique style, served ice cold by the baddest bitch in town
(See Fingers (Live), Little Girl Gone (the official video is just *fun*)
*Gorran: I've fallen in love with his tune If (live version)
*Romain: I haven't found one that just ... stabs me in the face and says "LISTEN TO ME ON REPEAT" but all of them are ridiculously good
Great reaction! You just don’t know what Ren will do when you start a video.
You must play Ren’s “The Take of Jenny and Screech (Full)” trilogy. It’s another unique video. You will not be disappointed!
Yall need to do "Losing it" "Illest of our time" & "what you want"

It was 7pm to 4am that they did multiple takes till they got it in one

Love it.. you're definitely one of us.. RENegades!
☮️💓🇬🇧
This video, like a lot of his vids, was done in one continuous shot, and was filmed at his friend’s apartment. The animals are all friends he convinced to show up for the shoot.
He released acoustic version of this song this week. Unbelievably fantastic! He is going to do a Live Acoustic version sometime today too.

Done in one take! He is genius!!! ❤
I subscribed because I want to see your Ren journey, it’s like reliving it
Video was done by a small team under the production of Ren
The rabbit hole goes deep. Every new track you discover will be a gem in its own right. Great reaction. Looking forward to more.

We've forgotten we *are* animals. We elevated ourselves to the extent that we confuse dominance with superiority.
Need to check out illest of our time and hunger
They will freak! Can't wait!!
I'm addicted to Ren too. Can't keep my eyes off him ❤❤
Try one of his earlier songs... Crutch...heartbreakingly beautiful, & him with Chinchilla, they sound amazing complementing each other...👍🐰
This dude rules.
You have some amazing Ren surprises when you go through his catalog. It's all amazing. Also the band he is in - The Big Push.
Great reaction guys❤

You should react to his song Losing It. ❤😊 Reactors have been loving it 😍
you guys are going to lose your sH!t when you see/hear The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full trilogy)---like Hi Ren, each of the 3 pieces are their own songs, all filmed live and on the move. it's' such a good story, and it's odd b/c each song/section gets BETTER. the last one, Violet's Tale, is such a good song, catchy medieval guitar, playing with the acoustics of different spaces he walks through...just BRILLIANT.

This song is truth.
Ren knows that humans are the most brutal animals on earth and he cofronts the listener with this.
Modern society hides this truth with our supermarket mentality.
It's unnerving but it is truth nonetheless.
It is brilliant really, lots of very clever references.
