    As someone pointed out to me, its crazy how deep the song goes. Jenny grew up and inherited her mothers tendency to stay silent and freeze up, whilst Screech inherited his father's propensity for violence, and their story ends how it starts, laying side by side, but this time one street apart

    @karenbliss8719 Před rokem +87

    I was married to an abusive man and the way Ren pulls you in with all he has (voice, guitar, acting, knocking on doors, etc) which makes you feel scared, nervous, sad, and very emotional…as a survivor of physical abuse, he gets you pretty close to how it feels to be a scared young woman getting beat up. I’ve never seen anything like this or heard anything close to the brilliance of this young man. It’s also nice to see a young man like yourself embracing your emotions. It helps me to feel like maybe the younger generation hasn’t succeeded in trying to cover up their emotions by pretending they don’t have any. Thanks again!

    One point I haven't seen being conveyed is what Jenny does. She's a 14 year old girl, that walks the streets of London for 1000 times, in high heels... Her age is hidden during her tale, presented as a young woman, but then you understand she's Screech's age, 14 year old girl... the amount of layers you can thought through this trilogy is mesmerising. Thank you Chief for your reaction, absolutely loved your metaphore of the forest on Hi Ren. Cheers from Portugal!

      There is one tell in Jenny's Tale that Jenny is very young... Screech calls her "girl".
      14 year old London boys wouldn't call a woman "girl" beyond about the age of 17, it would be "lady".

    Chaucer comes to modern day London; individual tales much like Canterbury Tales that intertwine. The genius and intellect of Ren is mesmerizing you never want his storytelling to end.

    You’re SO right - Blind Eyed does expose Ren as a freaky dude and it’s magic because it allows him to do things, from moving his mouth in an odd way, or putting a weird look on his face, that would make other people uncomfortable because it’s “not done.”

    I think what truly makes REN A TRULY DIFFERENT ARTIST is that he is an extremely intentional artist in all aspects(Lyrics, Videography, Costume, Vocalization & Tonality, Cadence, Body Language & Facial/Micro-expressions, Lighting, Acoustic Instrumentality, Narrative Skills). He is so exquisitely intricate, meticulous & intentional about every single facet of his art from top to bottom, from start to finish, from idea in his beautiful mind to the beautiful minds like yours that do reaction vids lol It’s almost scary how a single human can do this and not just like once but like consistently. It’s Dope but almost alarming haha I just got hip to Ren about 3 months ago so I am still getting through his catalog. You can’t really binge his music back-to-back like most other artists. You have to listen, absorb, listen again, absorb more & then sit with what you’ve extracted from that specific piece of artistic expression and then move on to the next piece. He’s just that type of artist really just that type of human being from my limited understanding🤷🏾‍♂️

I'm not generally fond of guitars because they're sharp and jarring to me, but in these performances, that jarringness is perfect. No other instrument would do.
    I've never thought of Ren as weird, perhaps because I'm weird myself and just register him as "normal" 😂 What makes him so powerful, to me, is his raw, honest, heartfelt authenticity. It's a rare quality.

    Birds of a feather flock together. Us RENegages truly Rensonate with Ren's music and each other in the community he has built and personally I see you have that same good soul Renergy - yeah I know all those play on words was cheesy😄 but in all seriousness, I really appreciate Ren, his community and the Reactors who are sharing the love for Ren and opening up with their own vulnerabilities and experiences that flavour their take on his music - ive literally binge watched 100's and each gave me something, a different observation or trains of thought, but only a handful of those stuck in my mind - and you're one of those. It's that need for a sense of connection with others I think, we feel Touched when we see someone else's Feels and Recognise parts of our gentle, empathic selves in whats quite often these days a hardened world that can feel alien and inhospitable to us - or it does to me at least. He's opened a Portal and I'm really glad you've joined us all to step through it.
    Agreed, out of the ordinary: EXTRAordinary - is capitivating. One of the things that really amazes me about his stories & the way he delivers them is that he manages to convey an entire story and get us to care about/ become emotionally involved with the characters (including himself) in a few short minutes when even many feature length films just about ( or even fail to) do so in an hour and a half. "It's like watching the greatest movie but from the Inside" - perfectly put, that's exactly it👊

    I found your channel through your reaction to "Hi Ren". It's your realness and obvious personality that has kept me coming back. I've dove deeply down the rabbit hole of your videos. I feel now like I'm watching a friend. Wanted to share my view on why Ren affects so many people in various & deep ways. This will probably be convoluted, I hope it makes sense.
    Ren is a once in a generation multi talented genius. He is our Paganini, our Mozart, our Vivaldi. He is a Bard, a gleeman*, of immeasurable depth & talent. I believe he is all of these things in part, because his talent for music & words comes from a place of honesty. He has spent his life, as young as he is, perfecting his musical abilities. While at the same time, he has Lived. Capital L lived. Illness, it it physical or psychological that is experienced for many years and survived changes the prospective & view a person has on life, and everything it encompasses.

    Honestly, choking on what words to say is something I find is the norm when listening to Ren, his work us a masterpiece and everyone I know including me always struggle to even put words together nevermind saying how ut made us feel after listening, he's truly unique and you can feel his passion, and the way he uses the guitar to play the going back in time and forward in time beats, and how he uses it as the punching noises, damn, Ren is an actual genius

    Thanks for being weird, and this reaction was simply refreshing. Thanks Chief! May I suggest to you Benjamin Tod doing Using Again (reaction or not) I think you will enjoy this. Keep up the brutal honesty which makes your reactions so different and enjoyable from others who feel like they have to act all insane just to get views. I officially subscribed today!

    Every reaction I've watched of Hi Ren, after it ends, silence. Wiping tears and silence. People, rappers, metalheads, musicians, neurologists, psychiatrist, therapeut, everyone. You dont leave a Ren piece without feeling "gobsmacked" 😅 Ren is a whole experience, is like he invented a new genre, cause just Bardcore seems too... little. Is like busking meets bardcore meets ska meets eminem meets lin manuel miranda meets bob marley and so much more. At the same time he's unique and rare. I'd even say he's the Everything Everywhere All At Once of music.
    Loved the genuine reaction, it's always nice to see someone else who loves music and can relate to Ren's journey. And the trilogy... oof, is tooooooo much. The melodies, the guitar, the way Ren enunciates his words and how he goes from speaking music to beautifully singing, to rap, to anything else we don't expect. The scene reminded me at first of Joker, the alley, the coloring of the scene, the photography, everything. I wonder if Ren decides how the video will be or someone else does it with inspiration of his songs. Is very scripted and absolutely free at the same time and my brain can't understand but it is, and it works, it works. Glad the people are treating you well, your reactions and impressions are really cool, you don't need to apologize for giving your take, again, is a reaction, anyone who wants to see the video can go straight to Ren's page and watch it without interruption 🤷🏻‍♀️ take care of yourself, hope you feel better soon, much love from Brazil ^•^
    Btw, your forest/clearances metaphor is *chef kiss*

    Isn’t this just what we are all needing in a vacuous world of toxic superficial messages which have shaped us into something other than what we are always going to be!
    We are human, and means we have to accept we are all the wonderful and disgusting things humans can be in various mixes.
    We need reality. Ren had given it in these stories for a few years now and we are only just starting to properly respond.
    Your reaction makes me feel more part of something, and that’s from his song about a very honest and visceral part of reality.
    Thank you

    Great reaction again fella. The last time I felt really emotional about music that told a story was in 1979 with Pink Floyd's The Wall, (that's right, I'm a crumbly old geezer).
    Ren is a drop of pure water in the cesspit that music has become over the years and I thank him for it; and you for becoming a champion of him and other unseen artistes on you channel.
    Raw emotion is a great thing. Keep doing what you do buddy!!

    Well done man for getting through it! As Ren says: "we must not forget we are human beings". We all feel the same things. And tears are a part of what makes us. They never break us.
    Hope you don't get any youtube strikes for the fucks - but hey it was real! We all know Ren is a genius and we all know you are human.

    I watched my first Ren reaction a couple of months ago now when Hi Ren came out.
    I have watched over 50 now and yours on Hi Ren and the Trilogy were some of my favorites.
    You don’t mask your emotions and your voice is so calming and you make sense.
    Every time you say “****ing hell” or “you know what I mean?” when you are at a loss for words is exactly those moments when I’m thinking the same thing.
    And I want to reach out and say “YES! I know exactly what you mean!! We are on exactly the same page here.

    New sub. Came from your last Ren video. What a lovely guy you are! I'm a bit late to the party having just discovered Ren myself. The trilogy of Violet, Jenny and Screech is a work of art - what a talented man Ren is and I loved your honest reaction ✌

    Ren has a way ... that pulls your feelings out of your soul ... The videography and production of the organic environments ... coupled with some of the best classical guitar playing on the planet ... with his storytelling/singing capabilities ... allows everyone to paint a picture in their mind of exactly what is going on. No matter if you want to see it or not. He puts it our there, raw, naked, and you have no choice but react ... emotionally ....

    Everyone has to take a moment at the end of his songs. Rens years of pain and suffering have given him a clarity of society today and can expressit in away that makes us listen and hear. He is ageniusand this is a masterpiece. His art is creative and intelligent.

    Ren not only draws together people from various genres of music (like you), he draws in people not oriented toward music itself (like me). I was word-oriented and rather isolated. Now (again like you) I'm embracing and being embraced by community. "Fukkin 'ell!" This is sick, as a rapper would say. I hope you've recovered from your cough, etc. since your introduction to Ren and the characters in this trilogy. Meanwhile, I'm confident, you are drawing people together through emotionally powerful reactions like this one. Thank you, Chief.

    I haven't read the comments (and I don't watch reaction videos normally), so I'm very much not sure what this is worth, but I've watched your reactions to "Hi Ren" and this. I just want to say that I think they're both beautiful.
    When you recognize art, it's nice to have someone else in the room, so to speak. Thanks.

    Ok you actually said that so well. Ren does have this ability to make you visualize his story and I think that’s why his videos are more minimalist. He wants you to see and feel the story and yes, he does it soooo well.
    Thank you for this reaction from one of your weird friends. Love and hugs! 🫶🏼
