    I have said this before and will say it again. Ren is not only someone who has walked through hell so many times that he knows where all the exits are he also on one of his journeys stumbled on to the lock that unlocks every soul on earth. With this song, he forged the key. I think it's amazing that he says in this that "he might actually do something great." Well Ren, look at the world you have created now. ❤

      Perfectly put. Imo Ren is a Celestial being, a Warrior of Light who hasn't just cast a pebble into a lake, he's cast a meteorite into the ocean and created a Tsunami. A Portal through which others feel safer to open up and discuss things that a taboo or tainted with shame and embarrassment. And he's creating an army of other supportivr Light-minded souls amongst his Collective

    As someone who's never been into reaction videos and always thought they were a ridiculous concept, it wasn't until this piece of work came out that I have had zero hesitation to click on every reaction I've seen to this. And I think it's important to let you know that it isn't just Ren and yourself who relate... The only word I have to describe this song if you can even call it that is VISCERAL. It is a battle we have been simultaneously fighting and losing to for years. Decades. Millennia. Keep that in mind when you interact with people in the world. We're all fighting our own demons and trying to learn the steps to this eternal dance... Be kind to one another and be aware that you're not alone in the fight brother. Welcome to the #Renaissance and please check out more from him. You'll quickly learn that Ren is one of the most flexible, talented, and deserving artists who has been working day after day for almost 2 decades to get to where he is now. He's humble, he's grateful, and he's real.

    Ren became seriously ill in 2010 but his condition was misdiagnosed for the next 6 or 7 years. The meds he was given just made him worse, to the point where he often spent up to 23 hours a day in bed. In 2016 he was finally correctly diagnosed with Lyme Disease, he received stem cell transplants and his health improved. However, the years of incorrect treatment have left Ren with a badly damaged immune system and some brain damage. He is currently receiving specialist treatment in Canada where he is likely to be for at least 6 months. Ren is a crazily talented musician, singer, songwriter, rapper, producer - he does it all. He has a fantastic back catalogue for you to explore (including collaborations with Chinchilla, Sam Tompkins and the busking band The Big Push). Start with Sick Boi, Chalk Outlines (live version with Chinchilla), Diazepam, Genesis, How to be Me (live version with Chinchilla), Money Game Parts 1 & 2. Enjoy !

    This hits emotionally for many reasons it is a brilliant performance , a one take shot from differant angles ,so it has a raw ,honest quality we are not used to any more . It truly sums up the creative ,see-saw ,between hope and doubt . it is in a symbolic way the story of Ren life and his relationship with the pain that nearly drove him mad and the music that kept him sane . It is a powerful portrait of the knife edge we all sit on .
    Ren has a vast back catalogue of quality work , we ( his fans ) call the Ren Rabbit Hole. It goes back to when he was a teen and even those songs are masterful and sprinkled with wisdom .
    Ren has been a busker in Brighton England for many years perfecting his skills .
    He is presently in Canada receiving treatment for the Lyme disease that was misdiagnosed and left untreated to ravage his body and his brain .
    Welcome to the rabbit hole you will never quite be the same again , its the Ren effect.you may wish to pre order his new album to be released very soon

    I discovered Ren through The Charismatic Voice. Her thumbnail shows her crying, and the title says, "Ren has me in tears." On that particular day I wasn't sure I wanted to go that emotional route, but for some reason I knew I had to. That was about three weeks ago, and I've been on that emotional rollercoaster ever since--and enjoying every minute of it, watching reactions like yours and exploring his other songs. Speaking of metal, Ren's band, The Big Push, has their own take on "War Pigs," which I think segues into "Paranoid." Great "speechless" reaction. Subbed! 🤠

'song on repeat for an hour ' ... test. This song was pivotal for me. I was afraid to admit to anyone that I had been suffering mentally from all the external residual goings on in the world for the past few years. After seeing this I was able to admit that it wasn't weak to ask for help. And now I see it as a source of strength to be able to talk out the things that are affecting me. Ren is right ... this isn't a battle to win or lose, it is a dance. My creativity is up and my esteem may come back one day if I keep using my new tools.
    Now on the other hand the song ... ' CHALK OUTLINES ' ... is a different story. That song broke me ... for completely different reasons. I'll leave you a link.

    When we're born, our first wake-up-and-breathe introduction to life is a slap. Over time, we numb out... until something like Ren's trilogy, or someone like Ren himself, slaps us into fresh awareness and shifts our responses to life. You are now part of the Ren community that you're helping to inspire. Thank you, JustDunk.

    I rarely watch reaction videos, but I have been watching a lot of reaction videos to this song. In a way, it is like sharing emotions with another human being. I have shared it with people I know. I watched a few of them as they saw the video. IMHO, it is a masterpiece. It tore me to shreds the first time I heard it.

    Hi Man. Loved you reaction to Hi Ren. It is very affecting. I’m not ashamed to tell you that on first watch i sobbed at the end. In fact, tears welled up in my eyes right through the whole nine minutes. Not wanting to detract from the obvious artistry but his choices of setting, lighting and humour all contribute, I believe, to the overall result. “Shadow REN” as i think of him, is not overtly aggressive. He wheedles and cajoles. He mocks. “You wanna be a big deal: next Jimmy Hendrix?”, “she sells seashells”, “music is all about the creative process”. All darkly funny lines. This makes Shadow Ren more relatable. Even in the frantic, spitting, diatribe, with the lights flashing and the guitar thrashing his character is still relatable. Ren comes back to that. Starting so softly and building in confidence again and again until he finally pushes himself up out of the chair. Still he builds his strength until he literally finds his voice and sings! The next part mirrors the first. Just guitar and voice. But unlike before there is joy in it. There’s exuberance in it. And the lights are flashing. Just like when Shadow Ren talked. I believe that this is reconciliation,reunionification, resolution. Ren and Shadow Ren have found a place for each other in their dance. As Ren himself so moving puts it, in the final spoken segment. A master class. I’m so glad that I’m not alone in the emotional response that i gained from first watching this song. You are a human being. Peace

    I think many of us can relate to it on different levels...Maybe some of us had some serious mental issues or traumas we had to deal with or maybe some of us have a part of us that holds us back or talks us down but thats what is making this video go viral along with the extreme artistic way he delivers his message....Its a masterpiece plain and simple.

  • @consentofthegoverned5145

    I've been singing the gospel of Ren ever since I first saw Hi Ren. He is so talented. His album FRECKLED ANGELS is amazing. I emplore you to take a listen. I've watched the Hi Ren video dizenc of times and still get the lump in my throat and tears in my eyes every time I see it. Ren Gills is a breath of fresh air...
    His band THE BIG PUSH is pretty awesome too.

    The most spoken sentence after (any) Rens song: "I was not expecting that!"
    That alone makes him unique, but there are lot more things like this.
    So when others are shouting "I'm a genius!" they usually lie. But he is telling the truth.

    Whenever I feel like I can't keep going without my mom, this song fills me with such hope that life can still be beautiful and I can find peace, that I'm not alone. Whenever I feel like ending, I hear my mom's voice saying many of the things the 'good Ren' says. I bawled for days when this song came out.

    To soften, as Ren's vocal chords do when he pronounced those words, is what every eternal pacificator between brain sides(as us) should do.
    I hope the resonance of those words will give light and reignite the courage and give us the trust.
    Courage! To loose the noose on the rope.
    Trust! That we will never be fighting alone.

    The smart part is how he's dipped in culture and destroys boundaries in such a simple way it's genius. Taking common things and presents it in an original uncommon Flo in using elements everybody relates too and tells the whole story of physical, mental, emotional disorder, chaos and the struggle and ends it with the purest and simplest common sense that when you hear the words, you can't ignore how true a fact the words are

    We all battle daily with that ‘other voice’ in one way or another. We are all different people in our solitude, yet once we are not alone we slip on our ‘disguise’ for the outside world.
