      Also: No copyright claims with Ren, he's not signed to anyone and makes sure to remove any that are automatically spawned by CZcams. You fight it and he'll allow it.

      Well put. If you have a broken leg, you don't drag it around for ten years before getting a doctor's help. And we all tend to do that when it comes to mental health. Until we just can't stand the pain anymore. Curing mental health is all ABOUT self knowledge. "Mental health" doesn't affect you, or me, it is US. Just as common as a dental cleaning. It is maintenance of the human soul.

If you haven’t checked them out yet, try Chalk Outlines, featuring Chinchilla, and The Ballad of Jenny and Screech. The last one is over 13 minutes long. Enjoy going down the Ren rabbit hole.

  • @steveherman6909
    @steveherman6909 Před rokem +10

    I first caught this on another reaction channel on 3 Jan (I just looked it up), and immediately following that viewing, I went to the original video link to sub to Ren and read his story. About a week prior to the launch of "Hi Ren", he posted a video to represent the "before" to the "after" that is this piece of art. After watching the manic Ren, then seeing this again, I appreciated more how this is meant to inform and inspire. The metaphors of the pendulum and the dance during the closing moments are meant to show how folks need to maintain the balance between raw emotion (evil, as many describe it) and logical intellect (good) as he has during his years of dealing with his own issues. As we are human, there is dark and light in all of us. It is our burden to weigh down the pendulum unlike the angels and demons who have it easy. It is also our duty to understand that other people sometimes encounter difficulty with keeping emotions in check with coherent thought, and not to ostracize them .

    This is #Transcendent. I was worried that y'all were mid-giggle-fit when you started the vid, but you seemed to settle into things & let the experience happen alright. Super impressive that this is a live capture (albeit take 4 I believe, & with some post production obvy). I daresay that's what years of busking does for your ability to just *do the thing* :)
    p.s. he's indy, so you don't need to worry about Sony'd or UMG'd !! If the algo tries to block, contact him & he will have his distributor cancel the block for genuine reaction vids. ;)

  • @JensRandolff
    @JensRandolff Před rokem +10

    Great reaction. “Hi Ren" is the song that put Ren on everyone's radar since December; it went viral and has garnered more than 4 million views since its debut, but he has been creating great music for more than ten years. Ren’s music videos are often recorded live in a single take (although not necessarily the first take). 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 also worth checking out; they are simply 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 (1, 2, and 3),” “Crucify Your Culture,” “Power,” and his latest release, “Bittersweet symphony (The Verve retake).”
    His performances with Sam Tompkins (“Blind Eyed,” “Earned it /Mans World / Falling,” “Walking on the Moon), Eden Nash (“Humble,” “Ocean”), Bibi (“Crutch,” “Ahiahiaoha”), Molly McKinna (“Penitence”), his former bandmate, Romain Axisa (“French Song”) 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,” "War Pigs," "Sweet Little Lady," "It's Alright," "Watch Out," 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 is from Wales. When he was 17, he was busking in London and someone from Sony saw him and he was signed to a contract. Then he was misdiagnosed with Schizophrenia and was dropped by Sony. 10 years later we find out he had Lyme Disease, not Schizophrenia. I can't even imagine how taking medication for Schizophrenia would screw up your mind and body. Also, this video was recorded live. Check out his busking videos.

    No, the monologue at the end was for you the audience. he puts his guitar down, and breaks down for the (second time) the fourth wall. He wants you to know his situation to bring awareness. I know it was eye opening for me. What he said about the pendulum swing was both sad and hopeful at the same time, if you know what I mean. Sad because it will be with you forever and hopeful because it can get easer.

Need to check out his back story and why his music is reaching thru so many people of different ages. Check out Chalk Outlines Live with Chinchilla. Just the 2 of them and a guitar. Also if you get hit with a block dispute it and his team will make sure it goes thru. He's big on reactors and actually tries to watch as many as he can.

    That is aout the knowledge of good and evil which we were not supposed to aquire and embraced defilantly regarless of the warning. Remarkable and authentic rendition coming out of that young soul. Plenty of food-for-thought dished out in this remarkable song. Much love Ren.

    I just recently discovered Ren and this song specifically is very relatable for me, dealing with severe anxiety/panic attacks/OCD/compulsive overthinking/analyzing. Listening to him and NF helps me in ways that I am so thankful for. Battling good vs evil is how I best describe my mind. Fear, pain, overthinking, self doubt, self hate...my burdens I carry on a daily basis. It's not something I would never wish on anyone, not even an enemy if I had one. The emptiness and deep fear in the pit of your stomach, tightness of your chest, your heart palpatating into your throat, your heart feeling like it's going to come out of your chest, the scary thoughts that run through your mind that just keeps the anxiety reaching high levels into a panic attack. Your mind tells you the negative wicked things, but you TRY to fight back with positive thoughts. It all subsides...until the next time. It sucks!!!

    Hey guys.. Ren doesn’t do the copyright thing… you can save commentary till whenever…
    And he is telling about the mental battle he went through when…. He naively took on the forces of evil declaring he would beat them on his own. He learned that people don’t know what they’re dealing with. Ten is on a journey. There are levels and layers to this song and Tens journey.

    You mentioned the 'rastafarian' sound to his voice. He has videos with his former band The Big Push that embrace a fully ska/reggae vibe (I shot the Sherriff specifically). They're not the deep psychological dives like this, but are a ton of fun. They also display his guitar chops in a different light.

    Its funny how people first complain about a 9 minute song
    Back in the 70's we would relax listening to multiple albums of 9+ minute songs.........
    Good reaction though!
    For young healthy people you were able to go deeper into the meaning.
    Being diagnosed with Primary Progressive MS at 61, I can also relate to this in a much deeper way. The pendulum for me swings hour to hour with my physical limitations.
    I'm sure he goes through the same thing with Lyme.
    Both diseases also lead to mental issues dealing with these limitations
    I cant imagine having to suffer with Lyme disease at such a young age. Autoimmune problems rob you of so much of your life and with invisible illnesses such as Lyme and MS you can look normal so its hard for to people understand the struggle. He is a huge inspiration.
    I have taught myself guitar to help deal with the my physical struggles and I really enjoy it.
    Creativity is a great way to deal with these issues and highly recommend it.
    Also being a Industrial designer have a been working on products to assist handicap people with their mobility issues which brings a new positive relevance to my life.
    Everything happens for a reason and Ren has proven that to us with this beautiful artistic piece.

      @ThatguyPurps Před rokem +1

      That's only because "artists" now days put out a 1m 20s "song" and their whole album is the length of 1 led zeppelin song 🤷‍♂️🤣 so the new gen can't fathom a song can be entertaining if it's longer than 4 minutes, but true art rarely is performed in a 2 min song.

    • @Killermcknight
      @Killermcknight  Před rokem +1

      So sorry to hear about your struggles, I’m glad you are finding ways to get through them, same as with him ♥️ As an artist my self (not musically), I strongly believe creativity is key for success in a lot of different aspects. I’ve dove a little bit deeper into Ren’s background and it makes me so much more excited to react to more of Ren 🥰-Taylor

    We all have that discussion. And we will KEEP having the debate for our entire lives. THAT is the human condition. Those two sides are in everyone, and conflict....or cooperate. You can't get RID of that voice as it is part of you. You need to learn to live as a referee between the two, and understand...that is life. Not a "weird" thing that happens to some people. Thank you for your reaction; I LOVE watching new reactions, to hear everyone's comments, emotions, and personal growth. He is the medication for the disease we all suffer from. WHY....why don't we teach self reflection? Self learning? Personal growth? It is so very very important for us to learn that EARLY.

    This is a human condition just like he says at the end, not just about mental illness. Everyone struggles with doubt, but with most people it is manageable, then when it is not manageable it becomes an illness. But it is a human condition! Everyone can relate to this in some way to some degree.

    I think that the message was: "LIFE IS MENTAL (and every other kind of) ILLNESS", and we better all loosen up. No one can successfully deny this goes on in all of our heads every second of every day. We may have responses on auto pilot, but it's there following the whole ride. LUV that you shared it!

    I've heard reactions from musicians, pastors, cinematographers, psychologists and psychiatrists and several other experts in other fields and it's been very educational, but I prefer an undirected candid reaction not limited to a single aspect of the whole. This performance is deep on so many levels. It clearly involves the subject of mental health and wellness and balance, but it speaks to the human condition far beyond that too. Plainly put, it is what it is, profound performance art masterfully constructed to be experienced subjectively. Short version... Everyone sees what they see. It's really fascinating.
