2005, the year Jenny and Screech were born. Jenny's tale came out in 2019, when the twins were 14.
Makes sense
Yes Jenny was a working girl at 14. She wore blush on her cheeks and high heeled shoes. She walked that street a thousand times before. And death was her only escape from that abusive life she was living. It’s heart wrenching when you realize she was just a girl and her twin brother murders her in a botched robbery. Both her and her mother were silent/ still. And Screech was violent similar to his father and grandfather.
I see it now!
Actually Screech's father and grandfather was the same person.
@@gcarapGod yeh! That hadn't even occurred to me.
@@gcarap We don't know it. The father could have been the grandfather, or it could have been Stevie. We don't know quite how long Ren "rewound the hands of time for Violet's tale"
@@synp9ynir Violet had to leave home and was able to get a council flat due to being pregnant to her dad. Stevie kept calling her a liar as he knew he wasn't the father and she wouldn't tell him who was.
Welcome to the legion that were mesmerized and horrified. 🌻❤️
I am one of you.
@@teckreactionsoh you have an amazing journey ahead of you. I’m here for it. 😊
One of the morals that are immersed in the story is that apparently Jenhy has inherited her mother's fear that makes her paralyze and be silent in the face of violence unable to react, and on the other hand, Screech has inherited her father's violence.
Can wait for your reaction to Money Game Trilogy from Ren!!!! Greetings from Argentina.
Oh wow. I didn’t see that at first.
I’ve seen this well over 100 times and I cried with you. Ren wrote Screech’s Tale about a year after Jenny’s Tale and Violet’s Tale came out~3 years later. I think that it’s why Violet’s Tale is longer. Ren really is a master of his craft. He uses literary tools like metaphor, simile, alliteration and personification in such a way that, no matter who you are, your background etc, you can see and feel what is happening. Each Tale begins with an overture that sets the tone . He changes his cadence and tone with each character ( Jenny being the only one who we don’t hear anything from directly- other than Richard). His guitar is not simply “ a guitar “ . When REN is the narrator he also changes his tone of voice accordingly. In Violet’s Tale , when the camera pans up and Ren sings “ She never ( drawn out) had a chance “ you can see it , that chance, floating up and out into the darkness. And later the line “ London City, far from pretty…” is delivered for the last time, and you can hear contempt in RENs voice. This is a masterpiece and a master class in storytelling.
I agree. Thanks for being here.
The only time either of the women (Jenny was like her mother), was when Violet was begging the doctors to save her babies. And Ren alludes to the final twist by his choice of words and delivery. He says "please let my babies stay alive", but the S's are very close together. It's there if you listen.
Same 😢
When Ren sings, "the devil comes to danccccccce," I envision a snake hissing to enhance the evil that is about to come.
Still chokes me up every time when I hear his voice break when he says "turning to the doctor Violet broke her silence and she cried". Super normal to end up teary eyed when you listen to this trilogy. Looking forward to more Ren reactions!
Thank you! ❤
🎵 God bless ye merry gentlemen let nothing to dismay 🎵. Ren leads us directly into dismay 😂
Oh my goodness, he does!
I never made the connection. 👍
The hint was in Jenny's tale "maybe it was intuition bugging her"... 'twin sense'
Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
This is probably the best example of "Bardcore" which is the term Ren uses for his stories.
He is indeed writing modern folk tales, and his gift for presenting it as a wandering minstrel suit the genre very well.
I freakin’ love it.
It's funny because there's already a genre called bardcore that's already been established before Ren started calling his folk tales that, but yeah I guess you could say his folksy songs are like modern-day bard music.
Like the midevil roaming from town to town telling stories to entertain or to impart morals. Ren is well educated, intelligent, and so well versed in the English language, literature and a genius lyricist! He’s completely an independent artist who shot all of these early videos in various locations found, a basement, friends apartment etc with very little money. His friend Samuel is amazing videographer and most are live straight through. Theatrically talented and exceeds in many many genres! Beginning by busking on the streets or Brighten originally from Wales. Was sign to do an albulm with Sony early on but pulled out when struck with illness. The end of last year he released a rap album Sick Boi that went to number 1 on billboard and iTunes! I assume listeners have filled you in on his illness story after u viewed Hi Ren. If not It I will. It is essential to understanding Ren as a person and artist. You do an amazing job breaking down music! Only a few I’ve seen caught him rewinding the hands of time on his guitar! Please was Suicide and enjoy the incredible performance of Ren and The Big Push live busking of I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/hip Hop!
I've watched different reactions to this 100 times. It just occured to me that when Screech finds Patric isn't home, and he calls his girlfriend but she is "busy," not only is Patrick probably sleeping with Screech's girlfriend, but maybe Screech is just here realizing this and it is probably something that helped drive him to his ensueing suicidal rage with the cops.....
This was confirmed in Ren - Screech's Tale - Instagram Stories. I am assuming that you haven't seen them. They are absolutely fantastic and a good use of ~12 minutes of your time. Leading up to the Screech's Tale release, these were filmed as "found footage" with Ren playing Screech as a kind of promotional item. He lost a lot of followers on Instagram because people didn't get that he was playing a character and thought this artist they were following was outing himself as a terrible human being. He uploaded them all as a collection on CZcams.
Interesting.
It's even sadder. Jenny was also 14, "walked the streets a thousand times before," was walking alone in high heels late at night. She was a street walker at 14.....
Yeah, I gathered that afterwards. Sad indeed.
CHALK OUTLINES!
…?
@teckreactions have you not done Hi Ren yet? (Don't see it on your channel) "CHALK OUTLINES" is next! So many more! Have fun! ❤
@@teckreactions "Hi Ren" #1 (if you didn't do it) ❤
@@AdamBazille Yes, I did "Hi Ren." czcams.com/video/SLs-FBvuJ7M/video.htmlsi=JSd46ono8tMhyJeL

Okay, last comment... Ren has a vast variety of songs in different genres, moods, and styles... one my favorites is him busking on the streets with the band he used to play in The Big Push... a ton of good songs but "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop" is freaking awesome and gets reacted to a lot. Complete different side of him there...
I’ll check that out ❤
@@teckreactions Cool! If you do react to it, the one where Ren is wearing the red suspenders is the best version... lol
Yes, this one! 😊
You wont be disappointed. It's just going to keep getting better and better! Welcome to the RENegades!@teckreactions
Ren talks about mental health related issues, hitting it spot on and painting the story. In this case intergenerational trauma. His "songs" are more than just that. His impact with the stories are so huge.
First comment, I'm going to go ahead and say you're probably gonna be horrified, before I even watch this. I CAN'T WAIT!!!! 😆 Edited to add... at 6:34 and wow, I believe you'll be mentioning this effect again... nice! Edited at the end: Ok.. wow... what a great reaction. Yes, the more you think about it, you'll think of the terrible details... Like why Jenny getting stabbed was actually an escape... like what was JENNY doing out in the middle of the night in high-heeled shoes, and having been there a thousand times before, AT 14. Where was Patrick, and why was his girlfriend BUSY? And the 2005, Ren released these around 2019, I think, and 2005 would have been 14 years before 2019... You'll be getting quite a few more from those of us who have watched a hundred reactions to this have figured out.... Again, great reaction!
He’s so great at musically telling stories.
Love all your comments.
You’re really good at this - I really like your musical analysis. Ren is the most creative artist I’ve come across in a long time. He has some light hearted songs as well- be sure to check out the band he was in called The Big Push.
Thanks! I could use something light-hearted after this one.
@@teckreactions Check out his 1 million subscriber thank you video, I think you’d dig it. Very uplifting and insightful.
@@EarthyBlendPOVI did watch that. Very moving.
Ren is a modern day bard painting such vivid imagery with his storytelling that it pulls you in and forces you to keep watching - even when it gets physically uncomfortable during Violet’s Tale. And Ren uses this ability to shed light on far too real issues in the world. He is special.
Anyway great reaction. The one part you found confusing with Jenny escaping was a call back to the beginning of the tale where he says she wanted to escape her life of walking those same streets she’d walked a thousand times before. She did escape that life. Just not in the way she wanted to 😢 Otherwise you got it right. And even noticed him forwarding time with the guitar. Most seem to miss that even if they understand it when he is rewinding, so well done.
Now you get to wait in eager anticipation with the rest of us, cause Ren has said that he and his cinematographer Sam have plans to film a pilot to pitch to Netflix when Ren has finished treatments in Canada and moves back to the UK. All we know is that it will be in the same raw style as this trilogy, but that is enough for me to say that if Netflix doesn’t give Ren his own show, they are fools.
Also just a small side note… as an atheist I really appreciate that you’re not preaching or being critical about the cursing despite being a worshipper. It’s nice that we can all just appreciate Ren’s insane talent no matter who we are or what we believe. It’s also very fitting considering community is exactly what Ren stands for ❤️ There’s room for all RENegades in his rabbit hole 🐰🕳️
“Modern day Bard” is the BEST description I’ve heard to describe Ren so far. Very fitting. And thanks for the kind words, friend.
So they were both 14....and Jenny "walked the streets" in high heel shoes looking to escape her lifestyle...both tragic victims of "the system" in a cycle of violence that goes back at least two generations...Violet 2005 and Jenny and Screech 2019 fourteen years later. I have listened to well over 100 reactions to this song and still love the guitar through the three segments...your reactions are in my top five. Thanks!
Oh wow. What a compliment. Thank you! So Jenny was a prostitute? Is that the inference?
Yes that is an inference, she is 14 years old, out on the streets at night alone in high heel shoes, walking a street she has walked 1000 times before, in a lifestyle she wants to escape...none of that is inference...she was in "the system" and thus doesn't know her brother and he doesn't know her and that makes them both flawed and tragic characters...so I inferred the rest.@@teckreactions
Along with the many comments I don't know if you also picked up that Jenny's behavior of freezing up and staying quiet is like her mother Violet's behavior and James aka screetch has a violent unstable abusive behavior like his father.
wow! no I missed that connection...thank you so much!@@jenk4653
Stevie probably went to jail for Violet's tragic passing and Violet passed so they would have had to go into the system and, in this case, were seperated!
If you want something a little lighter and completely different check out his cover of Englishman in New York that he did with his band the Big Push. It won't freak you out ... promise!
On it.
New subscriber, awesome reaction brother, and welcome to the Renegades 👍🏻. This is a tough one for sure, but what Ren does here so masterfully is grab the viewer's full attention, and for the 1 minute following Stevie's knocking to the "fast forward", he ensures that we're all on the same page on the horror of what's being portrayed here. When he takes us through the twist at the end, there's cathartic revelation, horror, and sadness, but most importantly empathy washes in with the huge rush of emotions.
With this last part especially Ren's music has helped to open the door on non-judgmental spaces for people around the world to connect through their shared experiences, and to share encouragement, support, and love with one another. I personally have never seen anything like it, particularly not in the YT comments section, but Ren's music and the Renegades are welcome surprises, and a gift we all share.
Y’all have been so incredible. Do I count as a Renegade yet? 😊
Beautiful and true
Keep going down the Ren Rabbit Hole. He has so many different things. So many. I'm here for whatever!
This rabbit hole is crazy!
"It's a Christmas song...." Yeah, by Tim Burton😂
Ha! It’s actually “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.”
@@teckreactions I've seen countless rxtions to this, and u the first I've seen to spot this shout out. Ren is nothing if not deliberate, so sure on purpose. Also well spotted the back and forth in time motif, first I've seen to see it in the early chapters.
@@teckreactions I think u will be interested in Eden video from Ren. He is not particularly religious but is religiously knowledgable, and has said he uses is more as metaphor but has no issues with the literal interpretations, he just wants to serve and help. In Eden he says at the end "I am atheist....who believes....in us" and "we must do better...simply because we xan do better"
@@dmj4966Eden comes out this week.
And he actually says, “I’m an agnostic who believes. Believes in us.” Big difference there.
@@teckreactions sorry, yeah.
Ren is absolutely our modern day bard, among many other things. When it comes to music, ren isn't a "jack of all trades, master of none".... hes the master of them all 😂💜💜
True
The travelling minstrel who steps over a dead body to continue the story. Brilliant
REN is so awesome that it’s hard to remember the camera work. So thank you for the recognition and shout out to camera man Samuel.
You might be one of the first to really touch how he uses his instrument as an integral part of his story telling. He flows between narration, acting - sometimes within the same line with the instrument setting the mood all so fluently. All of this could be full on tv production - introduction, character development, scene setting and transition, etc all done in single takes that suck you in, I feel based on the rawness of it. Sam's skill at also using the camera to be intertwined with the story telling. Pure talent. Great reaction - having seen a ton of these you picked up this crazy story very well for a first time.
It sounds like you're getting tons of requests, Ren's catalogue is so diverse you can't go wrong in any direction. The Money Game trilogy is another great story watch.
Thank you! The Ren list is long.
Yeap, that was me when I first watched this Trilogy by Ren. I was emotionally devastated. The performance by Ren was Epic. He brings forth the darkest side of humans. Ren captivates his audience & picks at their heart strings. Great reaction!
Thank you!
Ren has a series of songs called "love music" (theres four parts) its the complete opposite of the things youve seen before: just him having fun, cracking jokes and making great music. The happiest kind though.
Love music part 3 is such a vibe.
Im finding that all.of your videos have been excellent and am loving your content. Your musical knowledge realy makes these reacts better.
Love the work dude!
Oh wow. Thank you so much! Looking forward to more!
@@teckreactions As well as the Love Music parts 1-4, you should also take a listen to the Money Game series as they are just as good. I was hooked by Hi Ren and spiraled into about 2-3 hours of watching pretty mcuh everything Ren has put up on CZcams straight after, followed by constantly listening to a playlist of every song Rens's put out onto Spotify in the car. The fact he can go from such heavy storylines in the Jenny/Screech/Violets tale to more upbeat songs like Down on The Beat (feat Viktus) and genres in between makes it very easy to only ewant to listen to Ren and nothing else. My 9 year old son absolutely loves Animal Flow which is another favourite of mine.
and his colabs!, the 2 with chinchilla are amazing 😍
@@bluechang08 yes lad! Down on the beat is a fugging banger
A sad tale of Generational Trauma. His delivery of the trilogy is excellent, you feel every anxious moment. Thank you for the reaction.
My pleasure!
Welcome to the reniverse. Us renegades are with you and for you my friend. You will learn to understand why the more you listen to ren.
I appreciate you so much.
Talk about talented huh??!!👀👀😁 Now you know why this is classed as Bard Chore music he is like a minstrel wandering the streets and entertaining the public w/stories❤The amount of times I have heard the words "Who's Violet?" LOL Love the way he chooses his locations to accentuate his music🎶 Great reaction as always🔥If you need something lighter check our Power or Losing It good fun upbeat songs!
Bardcore is a thing?!?! Looking forward to some lighter stuff next.
Wow thank you for such a beautiful reaction. I’m crying now seeing you tear up . Iv watched this hundreds of times literally with the amount of reactions I watch and this genuinely was one of the most raw, honest reactions I have seen.
Ren seriously is the best story teller out there.
This started off being based off a story Ren read in the newspaper about a young man that slashed and killed a young prostitute. The reporter ended the report with “it’s such a shame” hence Ren using that line a lot.
Jenny’s tale came out in feb 2019, screech’s in sept 2019 and violets tale in July 2022.
Patrick was with Screech’s girlfriend hence she was “busy”.
Notice how Jenny was a quiet girl like her Mom Violet and Screech was violent like his dad stevie. Generational abuse.
Such a well written and presented story but definitely very hard to watch especially when you have been through abuse yourself.
Can I suggest a much lighter one now. How about
BACK ON 74/ MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE RETAKE
Or his band THE BIG PUSH
I SHOT THE SHERIFF/ ROAD TO ZION/ HIPHOP
WADE IN THE WATER/ NINA SIMONE/ TROUBLE SO HARD
Sending you lots of love 🖤🫶
Thank you for the kind words! I’ll check Big Push and some of the lighter material. ❤
@@teckreactions great! And you’re welcome 🖤
Ren used the phrase "it's such a shame" because Jenny's Tale was based on a real incident which was reported in the news, and it's a direct quote. Thanks for your reactions, it's good to see another new perspective I might not have otherwise seen (as I'm not religious). Another one for the "who the fuck is Violet?!" t-shirt 😆
Ha!
Ren is such a stellar performer - setting the stage with his opening notes ... lyrics that crackle with energy... just chefs-kiss.
Agree
hello dear!! as i continue to chuckle, i must comment on your face going from 'oh no" at the nature of the tale and then going 'oh yes' at the music. ren often produces cognitive dissonance that is visible to the human eye!! astounding!! i believe it is one of ren's super powers. like when you were smiling when he said the devil comes to dance!! that's our man ren!!! i get entirely too much pleasure watching looks of WTF on reactors' faces!!! i would love to see you react to more ren, god shows up in much of ren's lyrics. kathleen bts renegade
Thank you for those kind words. Ren definitely played with my emotions on this one.
This was one of the best reactions to this incredible story that I have seen. Really appreciated your understanding and analysis of the chords and guitar techniques used in the story telling. Jenny was silent like her mom and froze when Screech attacked her. Screech had the temper of his father (whether that was Violet's father or Stevie is open for debate). A tragic tale of generational trauma told by a master storyteller. I would highly recommend checking out some of Ren's lighter work for awhile - the Love Music songs (at least 1-3, 4 gets a little... cheeky), Patience and It's Alright are quite light and enjoyable. The Money Game trilogy is fantastic but is a little more political. Looking forward to more reactions 💜💜
Thank you! ❤
Without parents to guide them, Jenny grew up to be Violet and Screech grew up to be Stevie. Daughter became mother and son became father. With the circumstances of their birth, Stevie was most likely locked up for murder and so the twins were split up in the system and grew up never knowing about each other.
I like that in between the rewinding and forward-winding of time sequences we get a whole new song with its own melodies and rhythms. A song within a song. Then back to the original melody.
For real!
I heard details on this reaction I don't think I've heard before on this song. Your audio set up is killer. Nice job.
Thanks!
I love your in depth breakdowns of the guitar notes. I've been hooked on Ren's rap double and triple entendres, but never considered that he has controlled every single aspect of his videos down to the slightest hair out of place. So cool. You are good at this.
Oh wow. Thanks!
I always notice the setup in the way he turns the end of the word dance into a serpent's hiss. The devil comes to dance. The devil is in the soul of Stevie and has his sights on Screech's soul.
Whoa.
Great work. Thank you for your boldness in loving Jesus too! I have been following Ren as a believer for some time now too. Similar to your comments about NF in Hi Ren, i see an embattled soul who has an amazing God given gift to tell stories. He is truly gifted. He is so great with reactors too. A true artist and I believe if he comes across your reactions he will appreciate you being an artist as well. You are picking up nuances that he loves knowing others pick up on!
Thank you for those kind words! 😊
Really interesting and informative reaction. Thank you.
This is apparently based a true story that Ren saw in a newspaper.
Developmental psychology identifies a hyper violent and aggressive attitude as a common response to childhood abuse. Screech's psychology is spot on here. Another response to abuse is to to remain silent especially under threat like Jennie and Violet. In an abusive relationship almost any response will elicit violence. Unfortunately silence also enrages aggressors.
A girl "walking the streets" (a thousand times before) is a euphemism for a sex worker. A reason why Jenny wanted to escape her life (and why she was out late at night on her own in heels.)
Interesting you should note that the video begins with a Christmas song. No other reactor I've watched has commented on that. Did you also notice that in the very last shot in Violet's Tale, there is a hoarding which bears the words "Seasons greetings".
Tesco is a large UK supermarket.
I found Pickled Bricks a little odd, but looked it up. It is the name of a company that produces 'lego' bricks in jars.
The fact that Violet's home was paid for by a welfare scheme at age 16, suggests, under British law, that she was already pregnant by her father, presumably before she met Steve. That would suggest why Steve calls her a slut and why he accuses her to lying to him. Presumably he has found out the child is not his. Steve would probably not have accepted paternity of Jennie and Screech.
❤ It only keeps getting better!!!
Crazy.
I feel the significance of the opening guitar line in reference (c. 1760 version) of "God rest ye, merry Gentlemen" translates to "may God grant you peace and happiness" is a premonition of the tales you are about to witness.
**spoiler below**
Violet was likely forced into intercourse (mentions she's 16 when she moved out), birthing twins which grow up not knowing each other, and the violence involving young (14yo) James is the full circle of Violet's violent experiences. There is speculation that Jenny's familiarity with walking these streets in high heeled shoes (also 14) is suggestive of her life is one of prostitution, again the possibility of the full circle.
To me, it calls to question where is the peace and happiness in this story? It's a tragedy that shouldn't be forgotten, and thus should be told. Stories of this kind are too prevalent, and yet, society in general is willing to be ignorant to it's existence.
Ren prepared for each of these takes by practicing the guitar pieces so much that it was muscle memory, so that he could put all his focus into his choreography and singing.
There's a whole set of supplemental videos he released on Instagram that nearly got his account deleted that he collected as Screech's Tale Instagram Stories, released in conjunction of the release of Screech's Tale. It gives some background on who Screech, Patrick, and Babe all were.
The line is "London City, far from pretty, 2-0-0-5." 2005 is the year that Violet died and the twins were born. The first two parts were released in 2019. So he foreshadowed the final revelation for those clever enough to catch it.
Here's a fun fact: The bed in Violet's Tale was actually a child's size bed they picked up accidentally. So they put it up on blocks and made sure to not show the feet of it.
To see more of his storytelling genius, you should absolutely check out Money Game pts 1, 2, and especially 3, which is a literal award-winning cinematic masterpiece.
If you'd like something less weighty but absolutely incredible for a 1-shot video, then pull up Animal Flow.
That’s crazy.
Ren is a great story teller and musician. He has gone through much. His “songs” capture us all and move our emotions and thoughts down the path. Your reaction was awesome. I like your analysis of the chords he employs.
Thanks for listening
You are one of the few ones who recognizes all the details within the first time whatiching the tale. Even the rewind thingy. Nice one :)
Wow, thank you!
I spoke to religion and spiritually in my comment on Hi Ren.
On this one I just want to tell you I appreciate your knowledge of music, life and humanity.
Thank you, friend!
Its my 614th time watching Jenny and screech reaction, but im with you brother, it's very touching...🫠

Nice. Is he just a friend? Or does he film other stuff?
Sam is a beast... Love his work..
@@teckreactions Sam's co-founder of a company Square Sun Studio, so is in the cinematography all the way
Found you through your Hi Ren reaction and subscribed. I am a Christian and a Renegade. Ren's work can be jarring (especially Masochist just FYI), but it paints such a real picture of this fallen world and the suffering people go through in their darkest moments. It reminds me to show love, empathy, and compassion when sitting with the broken. I work as an advocate for women in domestic violence situations. He encapsulates so much nuanced truth of DV relationships in Violet's Tale. Thanks for your Ren reactions.
Thanks for being here. And thank you for the important work you do in your community.
Ive watched ren reacts for 7 months solid. I watch (listen) to youtube all day as im a truck driver.. of this i listen to ren and ren reacts for probably 5 of my 10 hour shift. So yeah probably in the high hundreds. You actually brought / caught a couole things that i havent heard and i am enjoying your reacts. Keep it uo. Im subbing for the rabbithole journey. It never gets old.
Glad you enjoyed it! Welcome!
Uffff!!!... indeed! It's the Ren effect!
Welcome to Renosphere... get ready it will be a rollercoaster ride with this ARTIST (and yes... in capital letters).
Thanks for the reaction.
A big one is dropping tomorrow!
They would’ve entered, foster care as the Moms dead and the dad would more than likely be in prison for her death, seems as if they got separated. or she got adopted and he didnt.
And yes, he did drop a hint, and no other Reactor has caught it (I’ve been waiting)
Since you came close and asked if he did I’ll tell you the hint he dropped
“it was like there was something in the air, a divine intervention telling her to beware”
there’s a theory that twins are connected.
maybe that was what was the intuition that was bugging her, and making her so scared.
today, you earned my subscription.
Ahhhhhhhh
Great reaction and breakdown. Enjoyed this very much. Definitely more Ren. His music is amazing. Wait until you hear him rap lol
Looking forward to it!
The UK (and London in particular) has a knife violence problem similar to our gun violence problems. These songs started out as a discussion about that knife violence after Ren heard a news story about a young man that stabbed a prostitute. The investigating officer said something like, "it's such a shame."
Later, Ren came back and added Violet's tale to turn it into a story about generational violence. The twins got the bad side of both nature (the genes of Stevie and Violet) and nurture (grew up in the system, seemingly not good homes - Jenny walking the streets and Screech hanging out with bad kids).
I didn't take it that his girlfriend (or even Patrick) necessarily had their own apartments. I took it as they were also kids with little supervision (parents either didn't care or maybe worked late shifts).
That’s crazy. Hope things get better over there. Send some good vibes to the US as well, yeah?
That this song tugs at your emotions just means your soul is intact. It's a heartwrenching tale......but there's too many like it. That's why he says it's a shame. That's what everyone says about it all, but nothing gets done.
Sad.
After seeing 100's of Ren reactions, I have to say I love your unique musical take. Learned something new, so thank you! ❤
Wow, thank you!
Wow. Loved your reaction when you realized
Very much an appropriate reaction to the revelation at the end.
Thanks for watching!
Loved the Eric Johnson reference! Lol! Great reaction!
Thank you!
I've not heard anyone mention Eddie Van Halen on this even though the tapping sequence is similar in part to Eruption. Also, the guitar in Screeches tale is similar to thunder struck by acdc. At least in my opinion.
@@teckreactions also, your explanations of the difference between augmented and diminished chords is something I will now use when teaching my guitar students. That was really awesome!
the 2 zero zero 5 was the slight hint, love this.
Ahh.
Remarkable reaction. After watching tons of reactions to this trilogy, you're the first one to comment on the rewind, and fast forward cords played, usually it's only noticed at the rewind. I loved your real reaction at the end. A very underrated song by Ren is Crutch, please if you find the time to react to it, I would be grateful. It is one of my favorites, he is much younger, but it's a bit different and so amazing. Ren is Welsh and has Lyme disease, he was misdiagnosed for years, and it caused a lot of trauma. He currently is doing treatment in Canada, or just recently as in 2023. He is Remarkable and gives me strength. I am happy I found your channel and am newly subbed, I can't wait to see more Ren, and other reactions.
So glad you found strength! I'll add that to the list.
Ren's music has a way of playing with your emotions, songs like this and Hi Ren and plenty others will drive you to tears. And then he has songs where he raps on an EDM beat like Losing it and Down on the Beat that you will bop your head to. He is an amazing artist and you will love all his music.
My emotions have been played.
dude, we got to violet's tale and I had to pause to write this. I love the expressions on your face. I bet your friends say that you wear your heart on your sleeve because you show everything. Probably make a lousy poker player but please take my thumbs up =)
I’ve lost many a poker match in college. You’d be right!
Yeah I love the way he takes on the role of narrator and orchestra the way films are made with musical cues and indicators. The way he winds time forwards and backwards is a musical cliché, but you wouldn't want it any other way. It's perfect.
Tesco is one of the UKs biggest supermarket chains.
Violets "silence" just means she was very introverted and put up with stuff without complaining.
You guys rock! I’m learning so much.
Your reaction mirrored so many of us for sure 🫶
😢
great reaction. never tire of the shock of the story telling. as grim as it is, so beautifully executed & still get those same goosebumps.
ren rabbit hole runs deep and runs the gambit on humanity & gets you in your feels. every one will have recommended songs, we will watch all of them. there is no right order. looking forward to watching your journey 💯
Thanks for being here!
It’s a circle of violence. Screech took on the traits of his father Jenny of the mother. Epic story.
Crazy
I think you need some more fun Ren for a break from all the heaviness. Ren is also a member of a band called The Big Push. You should check them out. Much less heavy stuff. Check out their cover of the song "Englishman in New York" by Sting. Much more chill vibe. You need that.
I so do. Thanks for the recommendation!
Every time they come to the stairs I lose it...🙏❣
For real.
Honestly you have a gift in music theory knowledge and i so look forward to all of your future Ren rabbithole endeavors.
Aww. Thanks!
That last line hits like a sucker punch! Welcome to the RENaissance. We have cookies 🍪. #Renegade #RenMakesMusic ✊🏼🐷❤️🔥
Sucker punch to my emotions!
@@teckreactions Ren’s got this way of taking a dark, or unpleasant aspects of the human psyche and challenges us to face the darkness that is inside of us all. He encourages us to have, sometimes difficult, conversations and to strive to be better. Not just as individuals but also collectively. And quite often he does it with a cheery accompaniment on guitar in the background. #Renegade #RenMakesMusic ✊🏼🐷❤️🔥
I never get tired of watching reactions to this. Thanks for another good one!
Glad you enjoy it!
a tidbit that many reactors miss is in the chorus of Voilets tale he says London city, far from pretty, 2-0-0-5, meaning the year that he rewinds to that jenny and screech was born is 2005. remember they were 14 years old.. this was made in 2019.
I didn’t know when the song came out. So I thought it was a zip code.
I've watched people reacting to this many times, but today watching you react I genuinely felt those emotions all over again with you, goosebumps and all xxx this one takes a bit to recover from, but it is important that the impact is made as it makes people think deeply about the cycle of abuse and creates compassion
Thanks for watching.
I am subscribing!! You were one of the first reactors i have seen that talked about the chords Ren uses, he genuinely makes the guitar tell the story along with his words. His guitar is not just accompaniment. it's a duet. I cried along with you! I have watched almost every reactor, react to this one! I was sure you would catch it, you were there. When I first heard Violet was pregnant on my first listening of this, i knew it was Jenny and Screech *maybe because of seeing so much darkness in my own life. Thank you so much!! Isn't it incredible that Ren learned much, if not all of his guitar playing from CZcams?? Can't wait for the next one!!❤
Thanks for the sub! More to come.
Even though I've watched dozens of reactions, yours may be the best. I was so excited for you to get to Violet because I knew you were going to love the beginning.
It's so good!
Ren calls this bardcore ❤ and yes it's a one take. He's good at one takes.
So good.
The only "hint" in retrospect is the "intuition of danger" Jenny had. Similar to how twins, even ones separated at birth claim to experience.
Thank you. This was a really good reaction to a fantastic performance.
The two works you have covered from Ren are pretty unique and not representative of his main body of work, but both are extraordinary.
You may wish to cover something completely different for your next Ren experience and pick one of his more recent works of the recent album!
Some of Rens other tracks are difficult because his story is about him, and the horrible issues he has experienced trying to get well - a continued journey to this day, with Ren needing to be away from home in Canada getting specialist treatment to try and help. but there is also some great fun to be had, he's a super musician.
Looking forward to more!
How To Be Me by Ren and Chinchilla. Haunting and so so powerful ❤ The live version x
Added!
Great reaction! Kudos! I've been a RENagade for a couple years now and watched hundreds of reactions to this and you are in the top 5 of most on point with getting story and music. Great job, I too am a life long musician and you picked up on so much that many reactors don't, again kudos to you.
I will now go watch your reaction to Hi Ren, I usually see that first from people, and I'm sure I'll have things to say but I'm hopeful that you'll pick up on things most don't after watching this reaction.
Thanks for the kind words!
28:18 Ren has many facettes, some rough, some smooth edges. After losing my cousin, last year, to her depression, and the song "Suic!de" being released just days after her funeral, I had a very tough time. Ren lost his best mate Joe, who jumped off Menai Bridge, while Ren literally ran to the bridge to save him. Joe's body was never found...
So "Suic!de", "Freckled Angels", "For Joe" and my "favourite", "How ro be me" all circle around that incident.
Joe's exit pretty much kept Ren holding on to his own life, even through his toughest times.
So these are all quite heavy songs.
For lighthearted lyrics, best look at his cheeky rap stuff, like his Beastie Boys hommage "What you want".
His own dark side is best explored with "Wicked Ways", "Seven Sins" and "Illest of our Time"
I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin. Thanks for the suggestions!
Yes bro. I hit that teary moment with you
😢
Great reaction. You picked up on more than most along the way. Love how much you paid attention to the lyrics and the details.
New subscriber. Keep it going on the Ren train. He is amazing.
I appreciate that!
The earlier hint,was when Jenny whilst walking home , felt a Divine intervention telling her to be ware, maybe intuition bugging her and making her so scared! It is said that many pairs of twins share a common telepathy between one and other!,her unease was being caused by the very close proximity to her twin brother ❤❤
I see that now. So much more is learned the second listen.
Another hint that the ended up in foster care is their names. Jenny and James is basically the UK equivalent to Jane and John Doe in the US. Also, "Violet's Tale" could be seen as a play on "Violence Tale" emphasizing the underlying plot of violence often becoming a repeating cycle of generational trauma.
Oh interesting.
Oh you're in for such a treat!
Looking forward to it!
So glad you've discovered Ren! Great reaction. Subbed
Thanks for the sub!
Welcome to the Renegades. Loved your musical insight, and your Christian insight in Hi Ren. I am here for more...Subbed!
Thanks for the kind words. Welcome!
Great reaction to a genius' masterpiece...!
Thank you 🙌
Great reaction! Loved how you predicted the time travel sounds. When u said that, I was like, "oh just u wait", lol! Nice job ❤
Thank you!! 😁
Respect to you your responses throughout and your final response was brilliant ✌️❤️
Thank you 🙌
Once again, brilliant reaction.
Hi Matt, enjoyed your reaction to REN’s Tale of Jenny & Sreech very much and everything you comment on is very interesting, more so than any I’ve listened to. Looking forward to more of your reactions to REN.
Thank you! ❤
Great reaction 🙏 For me, this is always an emotionel rollercoaster.
That’s an understatement.
How blessed you are. London is a city of extremes. Seen it first hand.
Wow
Yes you got it. the twins had never met. And two zero zero five was the year he rewound to. Also, and I know this will sound like an oxymoron LOL, but when Ren fast-forwarded on the guitar, he went back to the start of Violet's Tale to the point from which he initially rewound with Violet fighting for her life in the hospital, so he was still in 2005 and not the present day (2019 at the time).
Crazy.
