Ren is an incredible talent. At 69 years old I didn't expect to see see any new, unique musical innovation but Ren is the gift that keeps giving. I think the word genius is generally overused, but in Ren's case it's a very fair description. I love watching innovative independent artists.... long may he keep surprising his now massive fan base!
I am turning 69 in May and you have described exactly how I feel. There are always
new ideas, artists and occasionally indescribable geniuses like Ren.
I’m 54….been a fan since I was 53!! Found him in December of 2023……I was struggling…….as of today I am not….i have an army of REN-agades just like me
He's a great and talented artist. But yes, the word genius is over used, and it doesn't apply here.
@@seryph3140 I see your point. Genius, like charismatic, is overused and often misapplied.
What is your conception of true genius?
@@seryph3140 fair enough. Matter of opinion I suppose. :)
Ive been here for more than a year now and have accepted that he is a beautiful part of my life. As a former psychiatric social worker, i have dealt with a lot of mental illness. I had never encountered someone who has overcome, confronted, and alchemized his suffering in such a raw, authentic and and tranparent way. From his own desperate story, he has chosen to be the voice of the vouceless, suffering from chronic mental and physical illness. He has a very unique gift of expressing his emotions and thoughr in ways that resonate with his audience. I find his voice incredibly grounding.
Everyone has given great suggestions. I would add Crutch live with Bibi. It is cinematic and musical gem and it was done in 2015 when Ren was at his lowest. He directs and conceives his own videos, so that is doubly impressive.
I listen to Ren every single day. A day without Ren is a wasted day. Ren contracted Lyme disease after a tick bite. He was misdiagnosed which led to more suffering. Without being able to tour or promote his music, except for online, he managed to get a number one for his album, "Sick Boi" in the UK. You will be consistently amazed and delighte4d with the diversity of skills he brings to our eyes and ears.
He talks about not caring to make commercial music or stuff that can get on the radio and he still managed to break #1 artist in the UK last year. Proof you don't need anyone but yourself really to be a force. Also a testament to Ren's talent and experience. He's a great example of how everyone, musician or not, should tackle life. Legend.
It's a rare moment in music history that is as impactful as Hi Ren is. As an extra bonus, Ren is the next-level talent.
Ren has touched so many hearts and brought many healing tears. It's a journey, but one well worth exploring.
Hey there. Ren has Lyme's disease. Unfortunately, he was misdiagnosed for 6 years and placed on medications that tore his mind and body apart by treating mental and physical diseases he did not have while the Lyme's disease worsened. There are early videos where he vlogs about not thinking he was going to live and they are heartbreaking. A kind doctor gave him stem cell treatment which improved his condition quite a bit. He has been in Canada for the last year or so receiving treatment. He can do so many things and is so talented. He plays multiple instruments, can sing, can rap, and produces his own beats. Like Sleep Token, it's a journey that is well worth it and rewarding. I would suggest The tales of Jenny and Screech (three songs in one video), Chalk Outlines (live), and Sick Boi just to get started and to see some of the diversity.
Add Money Game I, II, and III (especially II, that's my favorite of the three)
Chalk Outlines (live version) with Chinchilla is a must! Have tissues handy! Sick Boi is also amazing! Ren’s story is heart-rending, but his authenticity and brilliance are undeniable! I have heard this song (as well as Chalk Outlines) probably 50+ times and I catch something new every single time. I also cry every single time. Welcome to the RENagades! It’s an amazing ride!
Every song of his is fire and can radically differ in style. Many consider the song "Sick.boi" a natural continuation of this songs' themes
Ren, like Sleep Token, is a huge rabbit hole. Ren is considered a modern day bard and he is completely self-made. He sings, raps, and produces everything himself. This video, like others he has, was done live in 1 take. I highly recommend watching the three part "Tale of Jenny and Screech" and "The Hunger".
I can't imagine having heard this song before and not really remember it 😕 Thank u "D" for your very heartfelt reaction. Most people have that other voice that may challenge us or be critical. It doesn't simply happen to those who are "sick or depressed". Anyone who has a sense of self can relate to this song, imo.
I didn’t suggest it because I was sure somebody else did. Ren is a once in a generation talent…enjoy the ride.
I’d love to see you guys react to this…Ren talking a bit more about what this song is about. czcams.com/video/M1Na3nQV_8Q/video.htmlsi=Ng6NH2jBxH3PohIl
Ren contracted Lyme disease which went incorrectly diagnosed for about 8 yrs
Again the pleasure is mine being here. Music is good for us and it’s better in the company of good folks. I don’t know if you caught at the end before he spoke but you can hear him unplugging the guitar, all the knocks and rattles. Doesn’t seem to matter but it shows he did that in one take ..live. You can even see the microphone on his shirt. I’ve played all my life and what he does is so impressive. Even tuned down the guitar for this song..Dude is definitely a talent that blows my mind. You guys rock and thank you 🙏
( BIG JT Fan here) I mentioned this to y'all a week ago about falling down the Ren "rabbit hole"! If you do wish to go down this hole I would suggest, in the following order, these Music Vids by Ren: Jenny's Tale, Screeches Tale, Violet's Tale, SICKBOI and Illest of our time!!!!
If you rewatch "Hi-Ren", pay attention to the flashing lamps as he changes voices and also pay attention to the different chords played on his guitar for the different voices AS WELL AS the 'different voices" he uses!
Again I am enjoying watching your reactions, Keep up the Great work girls!!!!
The Renegades will be along to fill in the gaps and talk to you about what to see next...after you have listened to those songs, you definitely should try Ren X Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines followed by How to Be Me...enjoy the journey.
Renegade here. I would suggest Sic Boi next as a natural progression down the Ren Rabbit Hole. Loved your reactions!
Chalk Outlines live
CHALK OUTLINES! THEN SICK BOI!
Patience is a song Ren did in 2011 when he was going into some of the worst of his physical and mental struggle. It was used in the documentary Unrest which is about ME. The documentary is good but for Patience the live video (Ayesha Jones) is more compelling. He is younger and frailer but displays so much strength of character.
I didn't know he was featured in Unrest. That film really helped me. I have me/CFS too. Destroyed me. I've lost everything. So glad he survived.
@@amye.mccormick923 I am so sorry to hear that, it is hard for me to imagine. 💔 All the best in everything going forward.
It more of the internal struggle we all deal within ourselves - our self doubt , self worth (especially if your an artist ).
Great reaction. You need to do The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full version) next. Don't be tempted to react to them separately as each story relates to the other. Enjoy!
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole ladies. Great reaction! I have subbed to enjoy watching you fall into the wonderland of creativity and talent that is Ren.
Hello from the UK.
As someone a bit obsessed with Hi Ren reactions, it's nice to find reactors who let the song flow and don't interrupt every 15 seconds.
Believe it or not, and i have no idea why, Ren isn't mainstream here in the UK. Not that he cares, but he deserves to be.
A truly incredible talent
Ren can never or wants to be mainstream they just wont get it a true talented honest genius a modern day Shakespeare IMO the bard of our times
Maaaaann remember all this lyrics is amazing. Its also brilliant
He has Lyme disease which was so uncommon in the UK he wasn't tested for it for years
Ren has Lyme Disease, but it went undetected for about 7 years while he was continially misdiagnoed and given medications for things he did not have. So his nervous system is a mess and developed psychosis. He has been receiving treatment in Calgary for nearly two years.
Nice reaction ladies. Have not seen you do any reactions to Ren . Autoimmunity effects people differently. It hit Ren in the worst way. And was contracted from a tick bite. And went misdiagnosed for 8 years, The whole time hundreds of Doctors telling him nothing was wrong with him. Then Psychologist with text book diagnoses. They told him it was his mind making him sick, hurt, spasms, digestive issues, bones hurting and constant fatigue. Leaving him bed ridden. And being treated for psychological disorders.. Heavy medication and the side affects were damaging his body badly..
If you are just starting down the Ren rabbit hole Welcome ! Just a RENAgade
Want Ren to make you misty eyed just by speaking to you? His Thank You short to his fans and reactors for reaching 1M subs reveals what a diamond of a human being he is. I can say this dude changed my perspective on life, and I'm 60! great reaction btw
Musically,Ren is a man of all seasons.
He was in a fantastic band called The Big Push,based in Brighton England.
A once in a generation talent…. Buckle up. Tightly
I absolutely love this song! You know what i just thought of though. What is 1000x scarrier than the voices in our heads? There are people out there with NO voices in there head, good or bad. That freaks me out.
Wow, I subscribed to your channel and you didn't even have 1000 subscribers yet and look at you now at close to 4K subscribers! Hooray for you girls
Aww! Thank you so much for the support! It wouldn’t be any fun without fans watching and supporting us! We love each and every one of you guys! 💜
It’s his internal dialogue.
I suspect that it is louder or more instrusive if you are creative in some way, and I think it’s one reason why people drink to excess or take drugs - to drown it out and get some peace and quiet for a short while. It is not the same for everyone, of course.
A jump down the Ren rabbit hole is gonna grow your channel immensely! ❤ welcome, and enjoy 😊
He did this 4 times. It's a one take video/audio recording. Very deep and impressive.
Thank you for reacting to my favourite artist ever the Ren journey is amazing, subscribed ❤❤
Morning ladies. This going to be good 🐷
Good morning! We are excited ! 🥰
The Ren rabbit hole is where you are now so go with it. Let the crowd lead you down the road of Ren. Hi Ren is his most powerful song as it depicts his inner struggle with his own mental battles for YEARS of being misdiagnosed and having had issues with all the pills he was given that he NEVER NEEDED! He's a lyrical, compositional, and story-telling genius. His guitar and piano playing skills are bar none and I want to say he's SELF TAUGHT! WOW!!!! There are some songs that are happy, some that are deeply concerning, and all in-between, but all comes from his years of agonizing pain by his physical and psychological illnesses. And BTW ladies, he did this all in one take. Different camera angles but ONE TAKE!! The dude is brilliant in so many ways. God bless you two and Ren!!
Now go immediately to "Tale of Jenny and Screech and(Violet)"
Only if you can cope with stories with challenging story lines! Really good songs but difficult emotionally
His "taken over by Evil run" at 6:50 where it sound like he is doing it with out needing to take a breath... Powerful.
Love to hear more please lady's. Rens mob will show you the route
Great reaction ladies, welcome to the rabbit hole 🎉
If you've fallen into the Ren rabbit hole count me in. I'll like, subscribe and this is my comment. You two are great and I'm so glad you're going in this direction.
Do you see the double shadows on the floor?
This is in every way a fucking masterpiece!
Thanks for a great reaction! 🖤
You'll have trouble deciding which production of Ren's is more heart wrenching if you watch the full series of The Tale of Jenny and Screech.
Great reaction. Subbed.
13 minute version! THATS SUPER IMPORTANT!
"CHALK OUTLINES" next! ❤
Just so you know, Ren doesnt copyright claim so no need to pause if you choose not to and if any copyright issues come up, get in touch with his people and they sort it straight away ❤
Not only was this done in one take and is a live performance which is incredible by itself but there's the fact that it seems to have actually been able to transcend "genre" and has found love from people of all kinds of musical backgrounds. Even with those merits I still think my favorite and most impressive thing about this song is it could inspire a decades worth of philosophical debate and tools for personal introspection that are eternal. This man is by far the most talented artist I'm aware of, that being said the level of depth to his music will get you listening on repeat as you have personal philosophical exploration triggered by his words but I know I can only do so much of that so often so I have to take breaks from it. I recently started getting the itch again and I saw he has released multiple songs since I started that break so it might just be time for me to dive in and if I get hooked I'll definitely be coming back to try and to relive that first time experience by proxy, and in order to do so I will be subscribing and will check out your other videos while I patiently wait for that cosmic face slap Ren brings in each of his songs 😆
He will become global, just reading the comments, people’s age difference that have fallen in love with REN, he’s a very uplifting artist even when he’s singing about pain, mentally and physically. It’s addictive after watching hi ren for a few times and the buzz it gives me, but I am now like a reaction junky watching other people’s first reaction and seeing others enjoying that first time, it’s like a drug ❤
How could anyone FORGET this?
Welcome to the Ren Rabbit Hole hope you become Renegades like my 81yo mom and I. Obsessed with all his genre bending work!
Welcome to Ren,enjoy the ride,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
We're hoping he's getting better. He was in Canada recieving medical treatment. Misdiagnosed years ago he was finally diagnosed with Lyme,s disease. He pretty much been through he'll but is still standing strong...He is battling himself just like most of do...
This may be my 7 or 8 hundredth time I’ve watched a reaction to this song. Still teared up right there with you😂 Also, I don’t know if that says more about him or me.😂 I just crave that same feeling I had when I first saw it. The consistent reactions at all the expected times during the video, are timestamped in my brain. I’ll suggest Chalk Outlines x Chinchilla to react to. Live version preferably. Cheers!
He is a phenomenal talent I love how genuinely invested you were, subbed for more 😊 thank you
Welcome to the world of Ren. Always surprising, never boring. This rabbit hole is so deep. I suggest you check out the song Chalk Outline next. It's a duet with the singer Chinchilla. Do the "Live" music video version.
Old Man Metal Dude sent me, glad he did! Subbing more Ren and NF
Avec Ren, vous allez avoir beaucoup de travail. C'est le mec le plus talentueux de sa génération. Il ne fait jamais deux fois la même chose.
Subbed for more REN! ❤
Ladies, you will be in one wild musical journey if you continue to discover Ren .. Do not put him in a category his category is Ren He is also in a band called "The Big Push a must to check out all members talented)" but Ren solo stuff is very expressive he plays multiple instruments, and he can do every type of music ,,, and he is known to take songs and make them his own people some only thinks of him as a rapper but he is not his singing is awesome ... ... he can even do Frank Sinatra and Tom Jones stuff if he wants ... and Ren has some very talented friends his band and , Chinchilla & Sam Tompkins is a few .. And do not be surprise if your Ren videos get watched allot ,,,he has lots of fans in every age group young and old
The battle between your negative and positive thoughts, unfortunately the negative no confidence usually wins or we all would be successful
Ren always hits hard. Always.
Welcome to the Ren-Rabbithole. I don't want to spoiler any song of him, but about 90% of his songs are mindblowing one way or the other. In one song it's the vid itself, in one it's his storytelling, in another one it's his voice. Mostly it's all together. Listen to some songs, watch some videos and u will see what i mean. Oh and btw. he does all by his own. Only the vids are recorded by a close friend of him. His own beats, lyrics, even the ideas for the vids are mostly from himself. And don't try to put him in a genere. U will fail. :P Tbh, when I think of Ren, i think the world isn't fair. How could this guy have so much talent and others... Well ok, he had a hard life, but still... This is to much talent compressed in one person. :D
Welcome to the wonderful world of Ren! He is an incredible artist and a musical genius. He is a master of one-take live videos (like this one). Please watch more 💜💜
Yes, he actually is (and has been) very very sick for a long time. Misdiagnosed Lyme Disease a long time ago took absolute hell on his body.
Ren is simply an amazing person. I highly suggest you listen to a couple of his interviews. First on the list would be The Zach Sang Show. Others are with Justin Hawkins, Knox Hill & Rosalie Elliott. Also watch his "Defining Success" post after he achieved the #1 album in the UK.
Rens amazing! You’re welcome for showing you that a while back lol. 😊
He’s so good! We are obsessed with him. And yea thank you!
Chalk outlines with chinchilla bring your tissues and then you have to go down the Chinchilla hole, especially fingers live! ❤❤❤
Dive into Ren! Take the plunge down his rabbit hole. It’s quite a wild ride. I’m coming with ya! Subbed. 😉❤️✌️
Awesome reaction and insights! Ren is always on another level
Now on to "Chalk Outlines" live with Ren and Chinchilla, prepare to be emotional!😊
I think the Pig at that start represents Ren's feelings about some doctors and therapists.........the discordant vocals and guitar are symbols of Ren's inner turmoil & chaos, as are the wildly blinking lights
Thank you! I have been wondering about the pig. I believe I asked about the pig in our newest Ren video coming out this week!-Dallas
Ren is really something different and super talented
You two are precious! Love the ren reactions you've done so far... I'm sure you're getting many requests to react to other songs, but I'd like to give you a few recommendations, please - if I may. Power is a song that is upbeat and shows another side of him... His collab with Chinchilla (who you'll also love) with Chalk Outlines and How to be Me are both epic! And if you just want a party vibe, What you Want is so fun - a nod to the Beasty Boys. Lads out being lads.
Hi ladys, really nice one...👍🤘
May I suggest "FAUN & ELUVEITIE - GWYDION", german Pagan Folk meets Swiss Folk Metal, truly a masterpiece... Stay safe and greetz from Germany
First off.... didn't need a reason to subscribe outside of the name. ALL-so, Ren......? YURP! HERE & staying.
Said it before...but...LOVE you guys and your reactions.
Bad ass! Great reaction. What A Song.
Genesis; Children of the Moon; sweet little lady by his band the big push, just keep going, he’s got 4 albums and so much more. ❤❤❤❤❤
Great reaction again you need to do the tale of jenny and screech it's a 3 part but do it all in 1
Ren has very large catalog. Do not do Jenny & Screech. Until you dive into some others. Like sick boi, chalk outlines, 7 sins, power, for Joe. Tales might be his best work. It’s unbelievable. But all of the songs are. I’ve seen few. Get the wrong idea about him. Just because how dark those are. Again all of his stuff is unbelievable. I just think diving into a few before the tales. Will truly make you appreciate the tales more!
The Tale of Jenny and Screech, Chalk Outlines, Su!cide, Sick Boi, Money Game 1,3 and 3

Old man metal dude gave you guys a shout out for being a good positive channel and I’m here for it! And all the Ren content! 😂got a sub from me 🙋🏻♀️
Awesome thanks for subbing!!! 😊
Oh that’s really cool and nice of him, when/where did he shout us out?
@@dna2001 he’s been doing shoutouts to the community before his vids- I wanted some more female reactors so I was all about you guys! Lol
Tried to post link but it’s not working for me. It’s in his how to be me with Ren and chinchilla video. He’s a solid dude! 🥰
looking at these ladies lets me know what having a dental plan is like.
😂😂 We work in the dental field actually!-Dallas
Great reaction 💛💛💛
Good reaction. Subbed for more Ren
Welcome to the Ren rabbit warren. Next try, The Tale of Jenny and Screech, the full trilogy. Here for it, new sub. ✌🇨🇦
If you think that was an emotional song Listen to Ren's "Suicide". It's about one of his friends that committed suicide.
I know I already blow up your comments enough and apologies in advance if I comment on quite a bit of these cause this is new to me and like I said in a way I feel like I’m experiencing it with you ladies. I saw this everywhere when it blew up and it was peoples titles for reactions and articles I read that made me not wanna listen to it at the time or his other music cause I just had a gut feeling that I wasn’t ready to listen to it. This was definitely intense and I can’t lie, cuts pretty deep. But I’m also so glad I finally listened to it. It’s so good to find such relatable music because it is helpful. But man this was incredible and powerful and I took a few minutes to process all of this but at the moment the only thought I have still is just… holy shit.
Hey don't you worry!! We are just happy you found a new artist you enjoy😁 That's always the best feeling, finding a new artist or band and knowing you have all these songs/albums to listen to!! But yes this song was so powerful and raw, and so creative! It blew me away the first time we heard it!!! SO GOOD! --Dallas
Sorry ladies but I had my head scrambled right at the start with the statement " I heard it a while ago but can't remember it", for THIS track that is just over a year old !!!! 😠😠
I knoooooooow I know! Definitely going to choose my words differently! Because it’s definitely not a video you can not forget! It was the lyrics I was meaning. With this being second time ever listening to it, there are lyrics I’m sure I missed from the first time hearing it. 😩. I do apologize for saying it but here we are and can’t take it back. Thank you for commenting though! 😊
If you do the tales of Jenny and screech make sure you do the full version trilogy Jenny screech and finally violet's tale in that order otherwise it won't make sense great reaction btw welcome to the Ren rollercoaster enjoy the ride 👍👍✌️
More ren please
And ren this song is amazing 🤩
This song is a masterpiece. There's really no other way to put it. It's brilliant performance art from beginning to end. No part of it is accidental. Even in the beginning when he's kinda over plucking the strings and creating a rattle sound...It's intentionally ham-fisted to portray an insecure broken young man that is trying to find the confidence to write his song. And then the ensuing battle with his cynical side. It's just perfect.
If you haven't already, please react to Iron Sky by Paolo Nutini. It has to be the Abbey Road Live performance. You won't regret it
You might have to do his band The Big Push to lighten your load then you can go back to more. Check out his rap video “loosing it” or the Hunger … you don’t have to like rap to love ren doing it !
I'm ready for you to do Ren's Chalk Outlines
I Subscribed for more Ren
Ren brought me here
Glad you’re here!
If you go down the ren rabbit hole we will come along with you renegades will subscribe and your views will grow , you should also react to Tom McDonald and HOG family will come , welcome to the awakening ladies , we will be waiting and watching , love you my sisters x
More Ren please 🤞
