  • We MUST Protect Ren as ALL COSTS. This is beyond art. One of the most brilliant videos I've looked at on my channel to date and Hi Ren delivers a message that is desperately needed. This one is special...important.

    Chase: *pause* "Wow. Yeah. Tell me music can't save lives... and I will show you this." *unpause"
    Ren: "So cower at the man I've become when I sing from the top of my lungs. That I won't retire, or stand in your fire, inspire the meek to be strong"
    I don't think I've seen a comment during a reaction be as on point as quickly as that before.

    What a beautiful reaction & eloquent analysis.You're dead on when you say this piece of art will save lives.
    I also have an autimmune disease, a different one to Ren, but it's super difficult for my family to understand the struggle I have day to day & most of the time I feel stupid and useless which fosters dark thoughts.
    For example, my Dad can't wrap his head around the fact that exercise fucks me up more so whenever I mention how weak I am he'll suggest "you should get out the house and get some exercise" even though I've had this for 4 years now and holding a phone to my ear legitimately exhausts me lol.
    I've listened to this song and watched every reaction I can find to it ad nauseum since it came out and it's truly helped me negotiate my illness in my mind and give me an alternative way of looking at the struggle I face. Also in a strange way it feels like I have someone who understands what I'm going through to talk to, even though it's obviously very much one way ha.

  • @FriendoftheSubReddit
    @FriendoftheSubReddit Před měsícem +1

    You know, one thing that always strikes me is how at the beginning of the song, the yodeling throws everyone off track, and they’re like, “what is this!?” And then when he picks it back up at the end, everyone smiles when they hear it…like they get it now. ❤

    There isn't any melody to your words, but you are lyrical too ! And obviously a thinking man, and an empathetic one. I'm glad to have found your channel and am pleased that you "get" our Ren. Sinead O Connor called him an archangel from 12th Heaven. Another reactor said, " Ren is playing 4-D chess while the rest of the music industry is playing checkers. He is the bard from Brighton and the once and future writer/composer/director of dark Netflix series and movies. He has an amazing arsenal of talents.

    I have to say that of the over a hundred reactions, dude, you did it. You are in the top, best handful. You are so perceptive and speak as smoothly as a scholar. But I appreciate you for doing this. Ren is F ing nuts. As in talent wise. And wisdom. And love of his work. I’m blown away a few times a day listening to him and Ren Virgins(yes that deserves a proper noun) reaction to it.

    @JohnGatesIII Před rokem +155

    Ren is a Poet, a Singer, a Rapper, a Songwriter, a Composer, a Musician, an Actor......An ARTIST. There's NO ONE out there doing what Ren is doing right now. Add to that that this is a LIVE taping....No pre-recorded music and lip-syncing in this one. Just Ren, Sam (the videographer), Ren's Guitar and 3 cameras for the 3 different perspectives. Look closely and you'll see the Mic on the top of his gown as well as his guitar plugged in (remote pack).

    • @noorieiversen
      @noorieiversen Před rokem +10

      He is also a film director, and creator. The Tales of Jenny, Screech and Violet were all followed by a series of social media posts that follow the story of Screech from the angle of him stealing Rens phone, he has collected all the clips in one short film, about 11 minutes. We learn a lot about Screeches back-story. Ren is a pure storyteller. He teaches empathy, a very important lesson for us all. Not one of us is innocent. We are all full of inner battles between our dark and light. The more we seek purity and one correct path, the more we alienate each other and judge, the harder we make life for those struggling. ❤️

      You forgot genius of the highest level! He's a master. I am 57. I haven't seen his level of talent in my life. People have gotten close. But I believe he's in a class of his own. Watching Ren play must be how it felt to see DaVinci paint, or Michelangelo sculpt. I am extremely excited to think that I may be able to one day see him live. And I am envious of everyone who has seen him in Brighton. Lucky buggers!

  • @JensRandolff
    @JensRandolff Před rokem +125

    What a great reaction and commentary. I just subscribed to your channel. “Hi Ren" is the song that put Ren on everyone's radar since December; it went viral and has garnered more than 5 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 his songs resonate with people because he addresses struggles that many others face every day.
    Ren 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 bard. His trilogy "The Tale of Jenny/Screech/Violet" is haunting and has an unforeseen conclusion. It needs to be watched in the order given, as this is the flow of the storyline. It is another example of Ren’s genius and a master’s class in storytelling. It has been likened to a Shakespearean tragedy.
    Ren’s collaborations with Chinchilla (“Chalk Outlines,” “How to Be Me”) are beautiful and showcase his singing voice while addressing mental health. 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 “The Hunger,” “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,” and his latest release, “Bittersweet symphony (The Verve retake).”
    As I recently discovered, Ren also recorded a cover of “Can't Help Falling In Love (Elvis Cover),” that is simply beautiful. Then there are his performances with Sam Tompkins (“Blind Eyed,” “Earned it /Mans World / Falling,” “Walking on the moon/No Diggity”), Eden Nash (“Humble,” “Ocean”), Bibi (“Crutch,” “Ahiahiaoha”), Molly McKinna (“Penitence”), his former bandmate, Romain Axisa (“French Song”), which are all great.
    Ren's performances as a member of the band "The Big Push" (which unfortunately broke up), their busking (street performances), concerts, and their live recordings, are awesome and well worth checking out. Ren's covers of "I Shot the Sheriff," "Wade in the Water," "An Englishman in New York," “War Pigs,” the songs "Oh My Woman," “Swan Song,” “Sweet Little Lady," "It's Alright," "Watch Out," “Dignity,” and so many others are equally impressive.
    Ren recently released his single, “Sick Boi.” In anticipation of his stay in Canada for more treatments, Ren prepared some music ahead of time to be released over the next six months that he expects to be gone. As mentioned above, his latest release, “Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve retake),” is another masterful work.

    Ren needs to be shared far and wide. This performance, this utter baring of a soul is unlike anything I've ever seen.
    Ren lays bare the inner struggles we all share between doubt and confidence in ourselves.
    Ren, while going through his own personal shit, gives voice to all of us.
    Ren is a poet, a storyteller, a singular artist.
    He's fucking special!

  • @Bobbias
    @Bobbias Před rokem +13

    Apparently this recording is a single take, and it only took 4 tries to get it.
    As someone who has struggled with mental health for most of my life, what he says here rings true. While he couches things in the language of music, the truth in what he is saying shines through. And the vulnerability he shows through this is incredibly brave.
    His ultimate message of self compassion is incredibly valuable. Anyone who has suffered from mental health problems knows full well that voice of self hate/doubt/negativity, and how poisonous and self sabotaging it can be. And unfortunately, the temptation is to try to fight against it rather than recognize, and accept that voice as just another side of yourself. Doing so can be, paradoxically, liberating.
    Sometimes what you need is to be able to let yourself fail, but not beat yourself up about it. Some days just suck, and that's ok. It's not about the days when you fail. It's about picking yourself up after. As long as you pick yourself up and keep going, that's what matters.

    Fantastic reaction as I knew it would be as soon as I saw it pop up on my feed. On your own time or on the channel, you'd love more of what Ren has done - be it more of his storytelling Bardcore (The tale of Jenny and Screech - three songs that need to be listened to on order, Jenny, Screech and Violet) or his incredible oldscool inspired bars (The Hunger, Genesis, Power, what you want) or his band The Big Push (Man's world, I shot the Sheriff, Bongo Bong). Do it all. He's amazing.

    This the first time I heard this. I didn’t get beyond the first minute or two of this video before writing this comment. It is absolutely brilliant. This is reminiscent of the theatrical production of “Pinball Wizard” all wrapped up in a 9 minute song with a single classical acoustic electric, and one man poetically playing two parts of this insane musical broadway play! Just wow, “brilliant” doesn’t even capture the essence of what Ren has done here. Crossing musical genres and theater and blending them in such a way to take the listener on a complete musical odyssey in the span of a 9 minute and change song! Bravo!!!!

    As a longtime poet and activist, who has been through my own long struggle with Lyme disease, I enjoyed your thoughtful reactions to this very poetic and psychologically insightful song and video. I appreciated how Ren showed--through words, terrific music, performance, and stagiing-- that one has to work through one's struggles to reach a well-earned state of hope. And once Ren is in that state of hope, he can stand, he can do his opera-like singing even through fast-blinking lights in the room, and he can even stand on one leg for a moment while doing that singing. And what nice and insightful spoken word piece at the end.

    Every reaction video regarding this song is always met with stunned silence. I must've watched the original video at least a hundred times and each time I am in tears.

    If you're looking for songs that are emotional, angry, raw, honest, and incredibly artistic across a virtuosic range of styles, you will love Ren.
    Great reaction.

    Also what is great about Ren he is doing this independent. And getting regocnicion. And it's not polished by studios that wanna make money. No, he lets his creativity and talent shine and that is what makes so many connect with his music. It's honest and raw

    This was a truly powerful commentary. It made me relive my first reaction. This is transformative. It is saving lives. As to what you said we need today, Ren does all of that. You have found someone truly special today. There are no misses in his back catalog.

    Im coming back to this video to thank you for exposing me to this song. I found you as a ST fan when i was hungry for any and all Sleepy content. But then you posted this and it took me a couple weeks to finally watch it. From there i fell into the Ren-hole which helped me along on my journey of healing that i started when i found ST. Today, Ren is my son's favorite artist, and we get to share our love for his music while we wait for the rest of his newest album to release.
    TLDR; your channel is doing such great work. Thank you 🙏

    Thanks Chase!
    This is ART with one of the most POWERFUL messages I've seen delivered in a long time.
    I think this is one of the rare few videos and messages that deserve the hype and widest possible distribution. For the very reason you mentioned...
    It will save lives.
    The aria at the climax to the song is as uplifting as I've ever experienced.
    Different art/theme/concept than SHOEMAKER, but brought a similar response from me...tears of 'release'.
    SHOEMAKER released a thrill of emotion. HI REN released a spiritual awakening and a flood of tears, nearly sobbing, and alarming those around me. Powerful to the third degree.
    Thanks again

    @Suicideshakes Před rokem +5

    I probably should have read through your comments because I'm sure it's somewhere but he has been sick and misdiagnosed most of his life but he's in Canada getting great help. There is a song about Jenny, also incredibly haunting and emotional. Please, don't stop with song. You must see more ♥

  • @NZWozza
    @NZWozza Před rokem +2

    Some Ren songs are like this, a lot are not. The integrity, authenticity and lyricism is a constant through all his genres though.
    Enjoyed your reaction, you are always knowledgeable and take time to articulate your thoughts.

  • @Tijuanabill

    The lights are even brilliant themselves. In addition to flashing for the demon, and not flashing for Ren, he is sitting at slightly different angles, for left and right, so when Ren is speaking, his face is fully lit, but when the demon speaks, you can't see the face as well. This lets the animated nature of the demon come through, nearly in silhouette, and lets the more tender expressions of Ren come through as you can see right in to his eyes.

    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 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 hat 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 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..

    It's easy to lean on hyperbole when listening to something that impresses you for the first time - It's the most unique thing I've ever heard / this is true art / he's a genius / this could be the most important song ever written about mental health.
    However after listening to this multiple times.... I'm still saying the same things. This chap has that 'something' that I don't think I've ever heard before. This isn't music; it's performance art, and it moves me every time I hear it. Some of the lines in it are so brutally honest, but they come from a place of perspective (The voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope / You'll have to kill you if you want to kill me). This, and him, are just special. It's a stunning piece.

    Hi Chase it's been a while since I made a comment on your channel.
    I haven't watched any other reactors do this I WAITED FOR YOUR GOOD SELF simply because IMO if anyone can appreciate and do this performance justice it would be you.
    Your words were bang on as always.
    Just my opinion again
    HI REN GENIUS.

    Anyone notice the guitar intro is like the Overture of a piece of classical music? It has a preview of each part of the song to come.

    Thank you for this reaction video. It made me quite emotional - almost the way Hi Ren itself did when I watched it for the first time. I saw a lot of my own emotions mirrored in you - and then you managed to put them into words!
    I ended up subscribing to your channel, and I'd love to see more Ren reactions from you! He's an immensely talented artist and storyteller, and does he have stories to tell! I don't even know where to start.
    I think I'd like to point you towards some more of his songs which stand for courage and vulnerability for me:
    Heretic, Chalk Outlines live with Chinchilla, Depression, Dominoes.
    There's a lot more to Ren - he's a modern minstrel, a rapper, an amazing instrumentalist and singer.
    As far as I know, Ren was signed with Sony in the past, but they dropped him when he got severely chronically ill. He went through a medical odyssey of misdiagnoses. Right now, he's in Canada for treatment for lyme disease.

    Ren was miss diagnosed when he was bitten by a tick and contracted Lymes disease ,they treated him for mental illness for 7yrs befor they picked it up this song Sick Boi and Chalk outlines relate to his experiences, we get to hear his great voice in that. He also does hiphop Rap and does collaborate with other artist. He was signed to a label but they dropped him when he was sick. He does all this with a few friends he is amazing.I love The hunger, Losing it and What you want.
