65; I love this man. He has helped me deal with lifelong trauma and I'm finally DIGGING OUT. Thanks to him, I might just LIVE the rest of my life, instead of living it in barely suppressed trauma. Best new artist for a VERY long time.
"I'm shining like Kubric, my method is clockwork, a full metal dude with my eyeeeeeyeeeyeeeees on the prize, with you obey will you abide!" Ren - Heretic (2020) 💞🐷
Great reaction and welcome to the Ren Rabbit hole. I am 70+ years old and this man is the artist I have been waiting for all my life. Sadly as of a few days ago, during his last video shoot Ren ended up in A&E due to problems with his autoimmunity. His accounts will be temporarily managed by his team of friends while he is resting and in recovery. Ren posted on his community page that he has had a relapse of the lyme disease co-infection bartonella. The symptoms that come with this are swollen lymph nodes, fever, headache, fatigue, burning soles, poor appetite, shin pain, depression, anxiety, panic attacks. Hallucinations, strokes and seizures are possible but not routine. He will have to head back to Canada for another long session of intensive treatment. He is in 1.6 million subscriber's prayers right now. Subbed for your journey. Kia kaha from NZ. Ren's community posts here: www.youtube.com/@RenMakesMusic/community
I'm 70 and my son introduced me to Ren and I can't get enough. So I binge watch reviewers first reactions and laugh and cry and sing with them. I have physical and mental illness and Ren makes me feel so happy. He has helped so many people and his followers are all united in sending love and support to Ren for the next stage of his journey. Ren's illness really sucks. My son and I know because my son has Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, the thing Ren got from the Lyme Disease. My son got it at 18 from Glandular Fever. I think in years to come, we'll find out the some people with "Long Covid" have MCAS. My son is 45 now. We don't have any treatment for it here in Australia. But we have Ren.
My parents are around the same age as you. I've tried several times to get them to watch it, but they wont have it. Everybody should experience hi ren x
@@NightFogFilmsYes. It’s not just that the captions are often incorrect, causing the viewer to get an inaccurate impression of the words. It’s also that, visually speaking, focusing on the captions prevents you from being immersed fully in the experience. Like A-Aron said, REN’s music isn’t “just” a song, it’s a work of art. Reading the captions distracts you from FEELING the experience. It’s okay to miss some words the first time through because as all #Renegades know from experience, you’re going to watch it again and again. I’ve watched this 100+ times on my own, plus hundreds of reaction videos because I love watching new people discover #Ren . I can never discover him again for the first time for myself, so watching reactors discovering Ren is the best way to relive that feeling of wonder. #Ren #Renegades #TheRenEffect #mentalhealth #missingmillions
@@julielong8714 I agree. I just don't tell reactors that at times because they will just ignore that fact so I like to tell them there will be spoilers reading before Ren singing. But yes, I often say it's like watching a Broadway production and when you go to the theater, you don't get captions. LOL
I believe that in the second set of "Oooo" vocalizations is him dancing with his demons. The lights are flashing, the music is a little more frantic, but you still have Ren's sweet voice. He is learning to coexist with his demons rather than keep fighting them.
👆 This! “It wasn’t David vs. Goliath, it was a pendulum…an eternal dance”. He says that he tried to defeat the forces of evil and “suffered the consequences” of autoimmunity, etc. “I am you, you are me, we are one.” Fighting your shadow is fighting yourself. You have to learn to integrate it.
Ren would be thrilled with the Kubrick reference. His favorite director. You wouldn't be the first to cry. Ren hyper focuses on music. Self taught multi instrumentalist. Ren practiced for weeks to get it all right. And he is a genuinely good guy. He is not actively psychotic now but his brain damage and autoimmunity from 7 years of untreated Lyme makes him vulnerable to depression, anxiety,. He has MCAS, which makes him allergic to all but about7 foods and this past weekend ended up in hospiL with a relapse into co infection Bartonella. Stress can short circuit everuthing. If you want to hear it from him, he has put together 8 Chapters of his 8 year nightmare getting a diagnosis and treatment. 15 minute segments with a song from that time. He has been dealing with this since 19 but also has had mental health issues all of his life. There us jyst too much to write. See his second channel Renmakesstuff.
I, um. I don't know what to say. I was physically & mentally disabled in an accident.many years ago. I have often said that 'I can't hear the voices.in your head, I can only hear the voices in my head.' Ren sure put a different spin on some of the things many go through. Amazing and masterful.
I'm a 64-year-old man and have never heard another artist at Rens level. I have watched hundreds of reactors reacting to this piece and have cried every time. His art will bring out one's emotions. Once you see more, you will understand why I see Ren as a modern-day Shakespeare with his story telling, but more than that, I see him as a modern-day Prophet; Most of his work either brings awareness or a message that humanity needs to see/hear. In the song "Sound of Silence" there is a line; "the words of the Prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls". Sometimes they come from artists like REN. Welcome to the RENiverse.
I keep watching everything but the one I just love is Mackay. It's just such a beautiful creation for Ren's friend that died. And just shows Ren's deep understand of the power of music. Ren put all his love unto that music.
The Jenny & Screech trilogy (A-Aron... please do all three in one take) is another great example how genuine and important Rens music is. I for one continue to brake down over and over again when I'm hear/watch "Su!cide" (can't listen to it more than once a week). He had already so much going on in his life and was able to take all the shit that happened to and around him and distilled it into something... better. Something that helps so many telling them that they are not alone and we all face and battle our inner demons. I'm so happy that something... someone is present in our actual time in such a challenging world.
Powerful and raw reaction A-aron. Thank you for being brave enough to show your vulnerability. Brace yourself for the Renegade army. Enjoy the journey, we'll be with you every step of the way x
When he was younger Ren felt strongly he had been put on this earth to make positive changes. He literally stood in a room and challenged evil forces. At a later date (age 19 I think), got bitten by a tick and his health spiraled downward. Ren IS making positive changes to the world and not just his masterpieces of art. So many of us with autoimmune, pain and mental health problems have been inspired by REN’s courage, vulnerability and positivity to live our lives more in the light that he radiates into the Universe. We call this the Reniverse . REN is a beautiful human being, full of empathy and love. If there were more REN’s in the world, the world would be a better place.
This was such a beautiful reaction thank you. You’ve totally grasped why us renegades are so invested and changed by Ren. His courage and vulnerability makes us all feel seen, heard and cared about. It’s also why we find such joy in watching reactors discover him. If you continue down his rabbit hole you’ll have surprises at every turn and us renegades will be piling in to share your journey with you! I’m here for it 100%!! Much love from the UK!😊xxx
@@MrDouglashed me too!! Well to be honest my first watch felt like a bit of an ambush I knew I was moved but wasn’t sure what to do with it. I returned about 3 weeks later and well the rest is history! I haven’t stopped following Rens journey since and that was Jan 23!! Glad to meet you fellow Renegade!😊xxx
@@rhonda-qc6qy Me too Rhonda!! There’s a few of Ren’s songs that even though I’ve heard them countless countless times they still catch me… the Tales, Chalk Outlines, Fred again mash up, troubles… there’s probably others tho I can’t think of them off the top of my head… and they make me cry for different reasons too!! So multilayered and just beautiful!! Lovely to meet you!! Much love from the UK!😊xxx
I second, money game part 3 reaction is due next. A-aron has me as a new follower thanks to Ren. I noticed thought I'd like reaction videos, but I absolutely love watching people hear these songs for their first time. this song still hits hard every single time I hear it.
You sir have a beautiful soul. Ren tugs at our heart strings because he is "authentic, honest, true, humble and a beautiful human being that cares about mankind and the earth. He is a musical genius, the bar he has set is ridiculously high. He was put on this earth to tell/perform his "messages" to other lost souls looking for a direction and comfort as well as to know they are not alone in their battles. 🤗
Aron I think you’ve just met a talent as huge and majestic as Angelina Jordan..I don’t say that lightly Aaron. To the Renegades..Aaron is class..one of the best reactors on the circuit..give him your love. 🙏
@@francesdoll4039 If Aaron “gets in” to Ren, there’s no ends he won’t go to to promote Ren wherever he can. Aaron has just flown half way round USA to see Angelina Jordan live..new to Angelina but already one of her key followers. He even wrote a song for Angelina..great guy, great family..tops.
@@kevingood4644 i just flew alone to UK at age of 75, newly widowed, to experience Ren LIVE at the Secret Garden Party mysuc festival, tbe first solo show in 5 years. So nice to know we arw birds of a feather.
@@francesdoll4039 I’m proud of you 🙏 awesome! Music brings us closer together..people like Ren and Angelina Jordan are worth more to me than all the money in the world.
Your facial expression was exactly the same as mine and millions of others watching HI Ren for the first time - including the tears my friend. . This video was recommended by a Member of REN’s Patreon chat . It did not dissapoint .
Renegade here to add to your algorithm! Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. Ren is an independent artist with a vast catalog spanning many genres. Ren also loves and appreciates reactors so don't ever be afraid to reach out to his team if in the future you ever get one of those automatic copyright notices and they will clear it for you.
BTW - your reaction to this is by far the best I’ve seen. You have a level of musical/artistic understanding, mental plasticity and emotional intelligence that allows you to get what this is about - and its significance as a piece of art (Angelina Jordan is like a Michelangelo, Ren is like a Picasso). Most people need several views to understand. Very well done, sir.
Devoted Renegade here. Welcome to the family. Whatever you do, please keep captions off when you listen to the Jenny/Screech/Violet trilogy. If you don’t, the captions will show you the lyrics to certain surprises and a plethora of plot twists, and you won’t be surprised within the moment. It makes things far less gut-punching and exciting. And it will ruin your reaction video. Because we Renegades are excited to see you discover these things for the very first time in real time so we can all relive that glorious moment. Many of his songs are like this, which is why you will constantly get the advice to please turn off the captions when you’re filming your first initial reaction video to each masterpiece. Then feel free to rewatch with captions on. I hope this helps. WELCOME TO THE RENAISSANCE!!! ❤️🥰
Congrats on finding Ren, and welcome to the Ren Rabbithole. This man is a multi-instrumentalist, multi-genre, storytelling and lyrical genius. Enjoy the ride! 😊❤️🔥😊
This has been the best first reaction to this masterpiece I've seen so far, and I've seen most all of them! You totally got this, and him. Your knowledge and commentry were very insightful and intelligent. I only sound surprised as I've never seen your channel before, and you didn't mention any particular qualifications or knowledge set when introducing yourself, and you said you'd only beem doing it six months. So please forgive any inferance on my part. Thank you so much, I'm so excited to see your next Ren offering. He literally is a new breed, unlike anyone before him, although he'll remind you of everybody at some point or another. He's the Bruce Lee of music, taking all the best bits and combining them into an awesome and unique artform. Never been happier to hit the sub button! 💞🐷
There have been a few reactors in the past month that have found Ren. They (including you) are passionate, insightful and spend time really diving deep. That was the scene when this released over a year ago. So yes, a second Renaissance in the reactor community!
Ren is an artists artist. Like, normal non musical people love him, but creative artistic types, seem to be blown away and connect deeply with him. They recognise that kindred spirit in him. Like he's speaking to, and for, them.
Yeah, to all the things you said about our boy Ren. He's something special on EVERY level, on EVERY track. He's not to be played with and is on the road to change ALOT of lives. My life being one of those. Welcome to the family. RENegades are here for you and got your back. Never doubt that.
Oh this was awesome! Thank zou for your insights and real reaction. We renegades love reactors and know instantly when someone is giving us their real reactions. Lots of love from a german renegade ❤
Love your reaction❤ English is my third language (as you'll see with my grammar here🙃), so usually my choice of music is dictated more by the sound than the lyrics (I still appreciate a good lyric, but it has to be a really beautiful, emotional, song for me to go google and figure it out, what exactly the person said). That's why my connection to Ren's music is so shocking and beautiful, even when I don't understand the words his music speaks to me (and after listening I climb down this rabbit hole of lyrics and google everything I don't understand, my vocabulary has really expanded lately🤓) All Love from Ukraine🇺🇦🩵💛, prayers for Ren❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Welcome!!! So cool to see you reflecting my own first reaction to Mr. Gill.❤ Oh Boy are you in for some fun...for there is a heap of amazing solo and collaborative tracks lying ahead! I agree with recommendations for you to check out "The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full 13 min compilation)...just cuz its deservingly legendary already...but...Ren is adept at a wide range of genres and I could also recommend a few dozen other tunes that are sure to dazzle the mind. I Am sure the RENegades are going to appreciate your reaction and will also be heartily sharing a wealth of info and suggestions, along with a sincere welcome to Ren's supportive community!!✌
I would encourage you strongly, even not as a reaction, to watch the 1 million subscriber post from REN. This will very briefly show you the person REN is and the impact he has had on so many lives. Then, probably Tales of Jenny and Screech (full version). I have watched Hi REN, probably in the hundreds now and still cry every time. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜. The RENegades will assemble now 😊
A lot of mental health professionals have reacted to Ren's art. And all of them I've seen have been blown away by how effective he is at communicating his message through his art and how healing it can be.
Welcome to Word of Ren😊 As you know now there is a life before and after hearing this song😂 I have struggled my whole life with my mental health, but Ren's music and the his Renegades are my new therapy.❤ Loved your reaction❤ Tale of Jenny and Screeth should be next👍
Thank you for your perceptive and honest reaction. Yes this is art. Ren is authentic, honest, kind and so very talented. I hope you will continue to go through his catalogue. It is immense, varied and so very rewarding. He has renewed my faith in music again
Would recommend you explore his earlier materials first, the "tales of Jenny and screech", "bitter sweet symphony", "chalk outlines" and of course the "money games" trilogy. You seem to be curious of the rap-side also so whatever you choose you can't really go wrong, but would recommend "power". Ren is genuine.
Ren's said that the song isn't about chronic illness, or mental illness, it's about the human condition generally. Those two things are referenced because he's telling it through the lens of his life and those things, alongside music, have been the dominant forces in his life. In fact music and the creative process is referenced even more than those things. There's also a lot of humour, especially in the first part of the song, that sometimes goes unnoticed, where he's making fun of himself and some of his attitudes. :) He's also said that darkness is part of existence, part of life, part of us. It's not something that can be banished and wasting time and energy in such an effort is pointless, self-destructive and self-defeating. He's said that once you accept this uncomfortable truth, life becomes that little bit easier and the darkness a little easier to deal with and to mitigate. He also points out that the darkness helps to shape who we are and that it's effects are just as important as the light and can often lead to surprisingly positive outcomes and points to his music and life as an example. The black and white are never wholly black or wholly white. Although you may not want to hear it, when in the thick of it, the dark can 'sometimes' lead to more positive outcomes than the light! Meaning that pursuing the impossible task of trying to eliminate all darkness from your life is, essentially, a self-destructive act! Mitigate the worst of it, fight against the worst of it but don't waste your energy of trying to eliminate it altogether. It's an integral part of existence and an integral part of life. People often mistakenly view this as Ren vs bad/negative Ren. As Ren points out, they're BOTH the 'real' Ren! :)
O.A.R. (Old-Ass RENegade) here. Welcome to the RENaissance, brother. You will smile, you will grimace; you will imagine, you will reflect; you will laugh, you will weep. But you are a RENegade yourself now, so just know that you are part of a family that is legion - and you are never alone. Call on any of us anytime you're hurting or down, we are all here for each other, just as Ren would want us to be.
I'm a mess. Yes we all were thats why we love watching people get introduced to ren. Its just him in a room playing a guitar and making more of an impact than other artists with 1000x the budget.
Welcome to the RENegade family 😜 It is a play, this is art, you're right ... This man is apart, he's an alien in the music planet ! I'm 48 and this song changed my life in many ways. I dug the rabbit hole and in the end, he quickly became my favorite artist of all times... Genius ... Multi talented, he plays guitar, bass, piano and drums ! His songs are poems in music, his lyrics are relevant and they talk about things that no one wants to talk about. But yet they exist, they are part of our lives. And you know what, most of all, he's a wonderful human beeing. His messages are beautiful, he is a messenger of peace... You're reaction was phenomenaI ! I subbed to see you dig Ren's rabbit hole 😜 Love from France 🇨🇵 Thanks 😘
Welcome to the Renegades! Looking forward to following you down this rabbit hole!! This fandom is one of the kindest I've ever been a part of. Subbing for Ren and the other artists you'll be introduced to along the way. Much love!
Great Reaction. Ren has such a vast array of music. The rabbit hole is deep with this guy. The Tale of Jenny and Screech full 13min version I would suggest going next then after that anywhere you want to go. Ren has no bad songs. ❤❤❤
Always an experience to have someone stepping through the Ren portal and seeing that transformation in real time. I can never experience Ren for the first time again, so it's amazing to still see it happen to others. Awesome reaction!
Like most of the commenters here I watched countless reactions to Ren and especially this video. Your response and thought processes were VERY similar to mine and keeping in mind that you speak to a bigger audience than most of us, I thank you pointing out and encouraging people to get help when they need to and have to. Ren already helped so many with this 9+ mins of mind blowing performance and I think it's important to share it with so many in this sometimes so harsh and demanding world. Once again: In my POV your thoughts/analysis are/is on point and I'm definitely looking forward to watch more reactions of you. Thanks & have a tremendous good time.
Fantastic reaction. The magic of Ren. He changes people. This song touches so many. You can watch it happen well beyond Hi Ren by watching reacters who have followed his music for a year or two. It’s amazing but they change and grow so much emotionally. I’ve seen grown men, big “tough guys” talk about how Ren’s music and his outlook have helped them better understand their children. She not only has Shakespearean levels of talent and skill and versatility… But he is also an exceptional human being. Truly. He takes feelings that people think they’re not supposed to have and makes it okay to express them. In all the best ways. Some of his music takes very difficult, even excruciating, topics and brings them to the forefront so that they have to be confronted, deeply felt, and maybe, God willing, prevented from happening in the future. He changes people. it’s astonishing. it is an incredibly rare and amazing thing for an artist. He makes people better… Not only makes people feel better, feel less alone, feel heard and seen, but also makes people want to be better and do better. I find myself hoping and hoping that he does truly understand how important and APPRECIATED he is by so many people. Not “just” for his art but also for his heart. ☮️♥️
What a great reaction!!!!! You got, and appreciated everything about this song!!!!!!!!!!! He is definately special!!! Welcome to the ren rabbit hole!!! Everything he has ever done, from his busking days till now is incredible!!!!!!
Another Renegade here. Subbed and here for the ride. All the Renegades are feeling concerned about Ren right now but fully supporting his music. Welcome to the Reniverse.
#RENegades assemble!! A-aron, I was ready to sub up just for the chuckle from your name, then I watched your reaction. It was beautiful. We love reactors because we can never hear a song for the very first time again. But we can see your face and your eyes and feel it right along with you. It's the next best thing. And wait till you hear his guitar skill on the Tale of Jenny and Screech! It is truly a gift to hear Ren's music. A once-in-a-lifetime artist.
Thank you so much for your review. It's really great when a new person finds Ren and feels this song. Welcome to the rabbit hole. There really is before you first heard Ren and your new life after Ren. And because Ren says a rising tide lifts all ships, I've subscribed and I'll keep coming back to watch your next review.
I woke up this morning to a link of this video posted on Ren's Patreon. Loved your reaction and am so glad another RENagade recommended it. You get it. Subscribed! Please start your way down the Ren rabbit hole. It's so worth it. Next please, The Tale of Jenny and Screech. There's a version where they're all put together in one long video. I think it's near 13 minutes long but the storytelling is so good that the time will fly.
Welcome to life with Ren! Every thing Rem does is an experience. Your reaction was beautiful. Ren is a genius and a beautiful human. He is a huge supporter of reactors…he will not copyright you. Subbed and look forward to your journey down the Rabbit Hole. ❤
I love watching new Renegades be born. It’s emotional in a way that always reaches me, and often teaches me more about the music I love. Thank you for your beautiful reaction.
Wow! What a superb reaction mate! Possibly the best I've watched and I've seen hundreds. Your appreciation and analysis was both on the money and exciting to watch. I loved your emotional vulnerability at the end and the effect that Ren's work clearly had on you. The man is a generational artist, his fans are 18-80 years old and we are all saying we've never seen anything like him.
The fact that he records most of his videos live makes it all the more magical. Ren’s musicianship, delivery, brilliant lyrical content, cadence, and raw emotion cannot be faked, and every fiber of his being can be felt through his music. It’s truly on another level. I end up with tears running down my face, as it’s so relatable. An artist hasn’t moved me like him in many years. Ren is obviously a truly special artist, and I’m glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves. His gift needs to be shared, as it is healing and has genuine positivity backing it. I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to Ren for lighting a fire in me, I’d thought had burned out. 🔊🙏🎶💜”
"Money Game 3" is his true masterpiece! It is even more like a play. Or to hear more about his personal struggles see "Sick Boi" and "Troubles." Enjoy!!!
Great reaction, you're a delight to watch! Ren's catalog is deep, over 200 songs on TH-cam, between his own channel and various bands and collaborations - take your time and savor. Storytelling, singing, rap, ballads, rock... you never know what you're gonna get. You can throw darts at anything in his catalog and find gems, but a few of my faves to add to your list: Genesis, Ready For You, Seven Sins. 🖤🖤🖤
Loved your reaction! Thank you for the sensitivity, depth and connection. Ren as you have seen is an absolute genious, it's almost supernatural. He is going through a difficult time because of this illness so it's quite nice and a beautiful tribute that you found him and reacted to this now!
Amazing reaction! It's reactors like you that allow us RENegades to be able to experience our first time hearing these words. I can't wait to watch as you dive into the Ren rabbit hole! You got a new Sub from me. Keep up the great work.
As others have said "one of the best Hi Ren reactions I've seen" and I think I've seen them all. I'm looking forward to seeing more Ren reactions. Subbed with anticipation!
Appreciate your authentic reaction and response to this masterpiece. I 💯 agree with elevating it to more than a song or just music, it’s Art in it’s highest form because it’s visual art, performance art, theater, musicianship, incredible composition, word play, rhythm…. Loved your breakdown! Really hope you keep going on this Ren journey!
I SO love seeing first time reactions to Ren. He is simply out on his own. You are in for such a wonderful experience getting to know him & his music. Great reaction 😊
Beautiful reaction ❤ Thank you for showing your emotions listening to this masterpiece. I love „the RENaissance“! Ren is a wonderful human being and a genius on every level. ❤
I think yours is the most authentic and heartfelt reaction I have had the privilege of watching and I am deep down the ‘Hi Ren’ react rabbit hole. I’m staying right here! ❤
Beautifully said. I felt the same way watching this & Ren for the first time . I see Ren as a musical Shakespeare. He is indeed redefining music and his timing is no accident. People are thirsting for REAL and to reconnect during such divisive times. Ren is speaking TRUTH and yes, his music/message is really connecting. He is a rare gem.

I'm 75 and me also. Plus I just subscribed to this guy. He's musically informed and very expressive. I loved his emoting here.
65; I love this man. He has helped me deal with lifelong trauma and I'm finally DIGGING OUT. Thanks to him, I might just LIVE the rest of my life, instead of living it in barely suppressed trauma. Best new artist for a VERY long time.
I sincerely believe that Ren would appreciate your comment of how this is like a Stanley Kubrick film
If you continue down the rabbit hole, you will see more Kubrick influence - especially in Animal Flow
You know that's right!!!
Kubrick is also mentioned in Heretic.
I clapped at this, and said out loud “Ren would LOVE you for saying that!!” Definitely a compliment!
"I'm shining like Kubric, my method is clockwork, a full metal dude with my eyeeeeeyeeeyeeeees on the prize, with you obey will you abide!"

Great reaction and welcome to the Ren Rabbit hole. I am 70+ years old and this man is the artist I have been waiting for all my life. Sadly as of a few days ago, during his last video shoot Ren ended up in A&E due to problems with his autoimmunity. His accounts will be temporarily managed by his team of friends while he is resting and in recovery. Ren posted on his community page that he has had a relapse of the lyme disease co-infection bartonella. The symptoms that come with this are swollen lymph nodes, fever, headache, fatigue, burning soles, poor appetite, shin pain, depression, anxiety, panic attacks. Hallucinations, strokes and seizures are possible but not routine. He will have to head back to Canada for another long session of intensive treatment. He is in 1.6 million subscriber's prayers right now. Subbed for your journey. Kia kaha from NZ. Ren's community posts here: www.youtube.com/@RenMakesMusic/community
I'm 70 and my son introduced me to Ren and I can't get enough. So I binge watch reviewers first reactions and laugh and cry and sing with them. I have physical and mental illness and Ren makes me feel so happy. He has helped so many people and his followers are all united in sending love and support to Ren for the next stage of his journey. Ren's illness really sucks. My son and I know because my son has Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, the thing Ren got from the Lyme Disease. My son got it at 18 from Glandular Fever. I think in years to come, we'll find out the some people with "Long Covid" have MCAS. My son is 45 now. We don't have any treatment for it here in Australia. But we have Ren.
My view on the "oohs" at the end is both the dark and the light finally merging into a beautiful hurricane of both. ❤
My parents are around the same age as you. I've tried several times to get them to watch it, but they wont have it. Everybody should experience hi ren x
You seem like a great person.
@@chrisnugent thank you sir. appreciated
Renegade here. Welcome to Reneverse. A portal beyond the mainstream music industry.
Perfect!!!
If you watch Jenny and screech be sure to watch the FULL trilogy, which has 3 parts, but all in one sitting. It's a must!
WITH NO CAPTIONS TO AVOID SPOILERS.
Dear Gods, YES....play all three in order. PLEASE don't jump back and forth. It is like a book, with three chapters.
@@NightFogFilmsYes. It’s not just that the captions are often incorrect, causing the viewer to get an inaccurate impression of the words. It’s also that, visually speaking, focusing on the captions prevents you from being immersed fully in the experience. Like A-Aron said, REN’s music isn’t “just” a song, it’s a work of art. Reading the captions distracts you from FEELING the experience. It’s okay to miss some words the first time through because as all #Renegades know from experience, you’re going to watch it again and again.
I’ve watched this 100+ times on my own, plus hundreds of reaction videos because I love watching new people discover #Ren . I can never discover him again for the first time for myself, so watching reactors discovering Ren is the best way to relive that feeling of wonder.

@@julielong8714 I agree. I just don't tell reactors that at times because they will just ignore that fact so I like to tell them there will be spoilers reading before Ren singing. But yes, I often say it's like watching a Broadway production and when you go to the theater, you don't get captions. LOL
I believe that in the second set of "Oooo" vocalizations is him dancing with his demons. The lights are flashing, the music is a little more frantic, but you still have Ren's sweet voice. He is learning to coexist with his demons rather than keep fighting them.
👆 This!
“It wasn’t David vs. Goliath, it was a pendulum…an eternal dance”. He says that he tried to defeat the forces of evil and “suffered the consequences” of autoimmunity, etc. “I am you, you are me, we are one.”
Fighting your shadow is fighting yourself. You have to learn to integrate it.
@@snapdragon8888 absolutely 💯
@@davidandrewthomas and this! 💯
Yes! I would go as far as saying he is embracing his chaos.
Yes! It's the acceptance of both sides of the self and embracing them
This is now my most favorite ever Ren reaction. Thank you. Welcome to the other side of your existence.
Agreed! And I have seen hundreds!
@@AdalineK same!!
Wowzas!!!
Agree 100% 😊
Ren would be thrilled with the Kubrick reference. His favorite director.
You wouldn't be the first to cry.
Ren hyper focuses on music. Self taught multi instrumentalist. Ren practiced for weeks to get it all right. And he is a genuinely good guy.
He is not actively psychotic now but his brain damage and autoimmunity from 7 years of untreated Lyme makes him vulnerable to depression, anxiety,. He has MCAS, which makes him allergic to all but about7 foods and this past weekend ended up in hospiL with a relapse into co infection Bartonella. Stress can short circuit everuthing. If you want to hear it from him, he has put together 8 Chapters of his 8 year nightmare getting a diagnosis and treatment. 15 minute segments with a song from that time. He has been dealing with this since 19 but also has had mental health issues all of his life. There us jyst too much to write.
See his second channel Renmakesstuff.
I, um. I don't know what to say. I was physically & mentally disabled in an accident.many years ago. I have often said that 'I can't hear the voices.in your head, I can only hear the voices in my head.' Ren sure put a different spin on some of the things many go through. Amazing and masterful.
There’s a saying that goes:
In the land of the GOATS, Ren is a Unicorn !! 😅
I love that one!❤❤❤ I've said field. I like yours better!❤❤❤
Goat worthy reactions
I'm a 64-year-old man and have never heard another artist at Rens level. I have watched hundreds of reactors reacting to this piece and have cried every time. His art will bring out one's emotions. Once you see more, you will understand why I see Ren as a modern-day Shakespeare with his story telling, but more than that, I see him as a modern-day Prophet; Most of his work either brings awareness or a message that humanity needs to see/hear. In the song "Sound of Silence" there is a line; "the words of the Prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls". Sometimes they come from artists like REN. Welcome to the RENiverse.
Looove this comment 👌
Love the term Bardcore for what Ren is creating here and he is King.
❤❤🫂🫂 YES, sir, what you said. I'm another elderly renegade! He is the voice we NEEDED.
The new genre: he calls it bardcore. Best example: 13 minute version of tales of jenny and screech. 3 live videos, each have no cuts. Mind blowing!!!
I keep watching everything but the one I just love is Mackay. It's just such a beautiful creation for Ren's friend that died. And just shows Ren's deep understand of the power of music. Ren put all his love unto that music.
The Jenny & Screech trilogy (A-Aron... please do all three in one take) is another great example how genuine and important Rens music is. I for one continue to brake down over and over again when I'm hear/watch "Su!cide" (can't listen to it more than once a week). He had already so much going on in his life and was able to take all the shit that happened to and around him and distilled it into something... better. Something that helps so many telling them that they are not alone and we all face and battle our inner demons. I'm so happy that something... someone is present in our actual time in such a challenging world.
Powerful and raw reaction A-aron. Thank you for being brave enough to show your vulnerability. Brace yourself for the Renegade army. Enjoy the journey, we'll be with you every step of the way x
When he was younger Ren felt strongly he had been put on this earth to make positive changes. He literally stood in a room and challenged evil forces. At a later date (age 19 I think), got bitten by a tick and his health spiraled downward.
Ren IS making positive changes to the world and not just his masterpieces of art. So many of us with autoimmune, pain and mental health problems have been inspired by REN’s courage, vulnerability and positivity to live our lives more in the light that he radiates into the Universe. We call this the Reniverse . REN is a beautiful human being, full of empathy and love.
If there were more REN’s in the world, the world would be a better place.
A frkn men
I had no idea it was literal. I interpreted it as he declared war on his inner demons.
Love this comment.
@@dazingvery very literal.

You speek the truth 💯
For the algo: this needs more reach. Renegades assemble!

Renegade checking in from Tx!
This was such a beautiful reaction thank you. You’ve totally grasped why us renegades are so invested and changed by Ren. His courage and vulnerability makes us all feel seen, heard and cared about. It’s also why we find such joy in watching reactors discover him. If you continue down his rabbit hole you’ll have surprises at every turn and us renegades will be piling in to share your journey with you! I’m here for it 100%!! Much love from the UK!😊xxx
Well said, he and I had very similar first time reactions. Can't believe it's only been 4 months since I discovered Ren myself.
@@MrDouglashed me too!! Well to be honest my first watch felt like a bit of an ambush I knew I was moved but wasn’t sure what to do with it. I returned about 3 weeks later and well the rest is history! I haven’t stopped following Rens journey since and that was Jan 23!! Glad to meet you fellow Renegade!😊xxx
@@nataliehughes5902 My first watch I just cried. Sobbed and sobbed and I still cry. Gets me every time and it's just wonderful. Good to meet you.
@@rhonda-qc6qy Me too Rhonda!! There’s a few of Ren’s songs that even though I’ve heard them countless countless times they still catch me… the Tales, Chalk Outlines, Fred again mash up, troubles… there’s probably others tho I can’t think of them off the top of my head… and they make me cry for different reasons too!! So multilayered and just beautiful!! Lovely to meet you!! Much love from the UK!😊xxx
@@nataliehughes5902 Great to meet you too. Hugs from Australia.
A-Aron's world is gonna be ROCKED when he watches Money game 3 😂
I second, money game part 3 reaction is due next. A-aron has me as a new follower thanks to Ren. I noticed thought I'd like reaction videos, but I absolutely love watching people hear these songs for their first time. this song still hits hard every single time I hear it.
You sir have a beautiful soul. Ren tugs at our heart strings because he is "authentic, honest, true, humble and a beautiful human being that cares about mankind and the earth. He is a musical genius, the bar he has set is ridiculously high. He was put on this earth to tell/perform his "messages" to other lost souls looking for a direction and comfort as well as to know they are not alone in their battles. 🤗
Aron I think you’ve just met a talent as huge and majestic as Angelina Jordan..I don’t say that lightly Aaron. To the Renegades..Aaron is class..one of the best reactors on the circuit..give him your love. 🙏
Thanks so much Kevin!
Respect for your loyalty.
@@francesdoll4039 If Aaron “gets in” to Ren, there’s no ends he won’t go to to promote Ren wherever he can. Aaron has just flown half way round USA to see Angelina Jordan live..new to Angelina but already one of her key followers. He even wrote a song for Angelina..great guy, great family..tops.
@@kevingood4644 i just flew alone to UK at age of 75, newly widowed, to experience Ren LIVE at the Secret Garden Party mysuc festival, tbe first solo show in 5 years. So nice to know we arw birds of a feather.

Proud RENegade 😊❤
Yes, we Renegades like to say:
"There is your life before you hear Ren... and your life after!"
New sub from me👍
Greetings from Germany 👏🤝🙋♀️
Your facial expression was exactly the same as mine and millions of others watching HI Ren for the first time - including the tears my friend. . This video was recommended by a Member of REN’s Patreon chat . It did not dissapoint .
I cried for a solid hour. Then I called a therapist. I was DONE. It as TIME for change.
Welcome to the world of the single most talented musician you have ever seen. You're gonna love it.
Renegade here to add to your algorithm! Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. Ren is an independent artist with a vast catalog spanning many genres. Ren also loves and appreciates reactors so don't ever be afraid to reach out to his team if in the future you ever get one of those automatic copyright notices and they will clear it for you.
As an Angel and Renegade myself I am happy to see you starting your Ren rabbit hole. Enjoy the ride dude
BTW - your reaction to this is by far the best I’ve seen. You have a level of musical/artistic understanding, mental plasticity and emotional intelligence that allows you to get what this is about - and its significance as a piece of art (Angelina Jordan is like a Michelangelo, Ren is like a Picasso). Most people need several views to understand. Very well done, sir.
Yes 👏👏👏👏🥰
Devoted Renegade here. Welcome to the family. Whatever you do, please keep captions off when you listen to the Jenny/Screech/Violet trilogy. If you don’t, the captions will show you the lyrics to certain surprises and a plethora of plot twists, and you won’t be surprised within the moment. It makes things far less gut-punching and exciting. And it will ruin your reaction video. Because we Renegades are excited to see you discover these things for the very first time in real time so we can all relive that glorious moment. Many of his songs are like this, which is why you will constantly get the advice to please turn off the captions when you’re filming your first initial reaction video to each masterpiece. Then feel free to rewatch with captions on. I hope this helps. WELCOME TO THE RENAISSANCE!!! ❤️🥰
Congrats on finding Ren, and welcome to the Ren Rabbithole. This man is a multi-instrumentalist, multi-genre, storytelling and lyrical genius. Enjoy the ride! 😊❤️🔥😊
I’ m 70 been watching Angelina Jordan reactions for years found Ren when he released Hi Ren , now a angel and renegade
New sub, ren is absolutely 🔥, he is self taught. 💚Edinburgh, Scotland. 🙏🏻🏴
This has been the best first reaction to this masterpiece I've seen so far, and I've seen most all of them! You totally got this, and him. Your knowledge and commentry were very insightful and intelligent. I only sound surprised as I've never seen your channel before, and you didn't mention any particular qualifications or knowledge set when introducing yourself, and you said you'd only beem doing it six months. So please forgive any inferance on my part. Thank you so much, I'm so excited to see your next Ren offering. He literally is a new breed, unlike anyone before him, although he'll remind you of everybody at some point or another. He's the Bruce Lee of music, taking all the best bits and combining them into an awesome and unique artform.
Never been happier to hit the sub button!
💞🐷
WOW. Thanks so much! I'm looking forward to going on this journey with you!
Absolutely second this! I have rarely subbed on a first Hi Ren reaction, but here we are. Subbed in the first two minutes ❤
What a wonderful reaction.
Subbed right away.
Really looking forward to seeing you discover Ren.
The man AND his music.
There have been a few reactors in the past month that have found Ren. They (including you) are passionate, insightful and spend time really diving deep. That was the scene when this released over a year ago.
So yes, a second Renaissance in the reactor community!
You are in for such a ride ♥ I have been living the autoimmune nightmare for the past 20 years. Ren helps me reconnect with my humanity.
When you suffer from mental health you hide it from family and the world. REN has made me feel included ❤
Ren is an artists artist. Like, normal non musical people love him, but creative artistic types, seem to be blown away and connect deeply with him. They recognise that kindred spirit in him. Like he's speaking to, and for, them.
Yeah, to all the things you said about our boy Ren. He's something special on EVERY level, on EVERY track. He's not to be played with and is on the road to change ALOT of lives. My life being one of those. Welcome to the family. RENegades are here for you and got your back. Never doubt that.
Oh this was awesome! Thank zou for your insights and real reaction. We renegades love reactors and know instantly when someone is giving us their real reactions. Lots of love from a german renegade ❤
Love your reaction❤
English is my third language (as you'll see with my grammar here🙃), so usually my choice of music is dictated more by the sound than the lyrics (I still appreciate a good lyric, but it has to be a really beautiful, emotional, song for me to go google and figure it out, what exactly the person said). That's why my connection to Ren's music is so shocking and beautiful, even when I don't understand the words his music speaks to me (and after listening I climb down this rabbit hole of lyrics and google everything I don't understand, my vocabulary has really expanded lately🤓) All Love from Ukraine🇺🇦🩵💛, prayers for Ren❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Welcome to the world of Ren! He will never disappoint and always amaze! Renegade in da house!!!
Welcome!!! So cool to see you reflecting my own first reaction to Mr. Gill.❤ Oh Boy are you in for some fun...for there is a heap of amazing solo and collaborative tracks lying ahead! I agree with recommendations for you to check out "The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full 13 min compilation)...just cuz its deservingly legendary already...but...Ren is adept at a wide range of genres and I could also recommend a few dozen other tunes that are sure to dazzle the mind. I Am sure the RENegades are going to appreciate your reaction and will also be heartily sharing a wealth of info and suggestions, along with a sincere welcome to Ren's supportive community!!✌
I would encourage you strongly, even not as a reaction, to watch the 1 million subscriber post from REN. This will very briefly show you the person REN is and the impact he has had on so many lives. Then, probably Tales of Jenny and Screech (full version). I have watched Hi REN, probably in the hundreds now and still cry every time. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜. The RENegades will assemble now 😊
A lot of mental health professionals have reacted to Ren's art. And all of them I've seen have been blown away by how effective he is at communicating his message through his art and how healing it can be.
2nd response. I loved your RAW, POWERFUL, REAL, EMOTIONAL reaction. As it should be. Take care of yourself ☮️❤️
Thanks for your emotional honesty in this reaction… well done!
Welcome to Word of Ren😊 As you know now there is a life before and after hearing this song😂
I have struggled my whole life with my mental health, but Ren's music and the his Renegades are my new therapy.❤
Loved your reaction❤
Tale of Jenny and Screeth should be next👍
Great reaction A-aron very understanding and perceptive, I think the renegades will embrace you, be prepared.
Thank you for your perceptive and honest reaction. Yes this is art. Ren is authentic, honest, kind and so very talented. I hope you will continue to go through his catalogue. It is immense, varied and so very rewarding. He has renewed my faith in music again
Would recommend you explore his earlier materials first, the "tales of Jenny and screech", "bitter sweet symphony", "chalk outlines" and of course the "money games" trilogy. You seem to be curious of the rap-side also so whatever you choose you can't really go wrong, but would recommend "power". Ren is genuine.
Never get tired of genuine Hi-Ren reactions, thank you Sir new Sub.
Ren's said that the song isn't about chronic illness, or mental illness, it's about the human condition generally. Those two things are referenced because he's telling it through the lens of his life and those things, alongside music, have been the dominant forces in his life. In fact music and the creative process is referenced even more than those things. There's also a lot of humour, especially in the first part of the song, that sometimes goes unnoticed, where he's making fun of himself and some of his attitudes. :)
He's also said that darkness is part of existence, part of life, part of us. It's not something that can be banished and wasting time and energy in such an effort is pointless, self-destructive and self-defeating. He's said that once you accept this uncomfortable truth, life becomes that little bit easier and the darkness a little easier to deal with and to mitigate. He also points out that the darkness helps to shape who we are and that it's effects are just as important as the light and can often lead to surprisingly positive outcomes and points to his music and life as an example. The black and white are never wholly black or wholly white. Although you may not want to hear it, when in the thick of it, the dark can 'sometimes' lead to more positive outcomes than the light! Meaning that pursuing the impossible task of trying to eliminate all darkness from your life is, essentially, a self-destructive act! Mitigate the worst of it, fight against the worst of it but don't waste your energy of trying to eliminate it altogether. It's an integral part of existence and an integral part of life. People often mistakenly view this as Ren vs bad/negative Ren. As Ren points out, they're BOTH the 'real' Ren! :)
O.A.R. (Old-Ass RENegade) here. Welcome to the RENaissance, brother.
You will smile, you will grimace; you will imagine, you will reflect; you will laugh, you will weep. But you are a RENegade yourself now, so just know that you are part of a family that is legion - and you are never alone. Call on any of us anytime you're hurting or down, we are all here for each other, just as Ren would want us to be.
O.A.R. LOL I'm going to use that! That is ALL TRUE.
I'm a mess. Yes we all were thats why we love watching people get introduced to ren. Its just him in a room playing a guitar and making more of an impact than other artists with 1000x the budget.
Welcome to the RENegade family 😜 It is a play, this is art, you're right ... This man is apart, he's an alien in the music planet ! I'm 48 and this song changed my life in many ways. I dug the rabbit hole and in the end, he quickly became my favorite artist of all times... Genius ... Multi talented, he plays guitar, bass, piano and drums ! His songs are poems in music, his lyrics are relevant and they talk about things that no one wants to talk about. But yet they exist, they are part of our lives. And you know what, most of all, he's a wonderful human beeing. His messages are beautiful, he is a messenger of peace... You're reaction was phenomenaI ! I subbed to see you dig Ren's rabbit hole 😜 Love from France 🇨🇵 Thanks 😘
Welcome to the Renegades! Looking forward to following you down this rabbit hole!! This fandom is one of the kindest I've ever been a part of. Subbing for Ren and the other artists you'll be introduced to along the way. Much love!
Welcome to the wonderful world of REN, our lyrical genius and beautiful soul. He’s relapsed now again and my heart aches for him. Subbed.
Great Reaction. Ren has such a vast array of music. The rabbit hole is deep with this guy. The Tale of Jenny and Screech full 13min version I would suggest going next then after that anywhere you want to go. Ren has no bad songs. ❤❤❤
Always an experience to have someone stepping through the Ren portal and seeing that transformation in real time. I can never experience Ren for the first time again, so it's amazing to still see it happen to others. Awesome reaction!
Brilliant reaction thank you. I found Ren a year ago, went to see him live at a festival and been following him since, I’m 66 so he’s across all ages.
Like most of the commenters here I watched countless reactions to Ren and especially this video. Your response and thought processes were VERY similar to mine and keeping in mind that you speak to a bigger audience than most of us, I thank you pointing out and encouraging people to get help when they need to and have to. Ren already helped so many with this 9+ mins of mind blowing performance and I think it's important to share it with so many in this sometimes so harsh and demanding world. Once again: In my POV your thoughts/analysis are/is on point and I'm definitely looking forward to watch more reactions of you. Thanks & have a tremendous good time.
Fantastic reaction. The magic of Ren. He changes people. This song touches so many. You can watch it happen well beyond Hi Ren by watching reacters who have followed his music for a year or two. It’s amazing but they change and grow so much emotionally. I’ve seen grown men, big “tough guys” talk about how Ren’s music and his outlook have helped them better understand their children. She not only has Shakespearean levels of talent and skill and versatility… But he is also an exceptional human being. Truly. He takes feelings that people think they’re not supposed to have and makes it okay to express them. In all the best ways. Some of his music takes very difficult, even excruciating, topics and brings them to the forefront so that they have to be confronted, deeply felt, and maybe, God willing, prevented from happening in the future.
He changes people. it’s astonishing. it is an incredibly rare and amazing thing for an artist. He makes people better… Not only makes people feel better, feel less alone, feel heard and seen, but also makes people want to be better and do better. I find myself hoping and hoping that he does truly understand how important and APPRECIATED he is by so many people. Not “just” for his art but also for his heart. ☮️♥️
You are great at this A-Aron! I'll be along for the ride
What a great reaction!!!!! You got, and appreciated everything about this song!!!!!!!!!!!
He is definately special!!!
Welcome to the ren rabbit hole!!! Everything he has ever done, from his busking days till now is incredible!!!!!!
Another Renegade here. Subbed and here for the ride. All the Renegades are feeling concerned about Ren right now but fully supporting his music. Welcome to the Reniverse.
#RENegades assemble!! A-aron, I was ready to sub up just for the chuckle from your name, then I watched your reaction. It was beautiful. We love reactors because we can never hear a song for the very first time again. But we can see your face and your eyes and feel it right along with you. It's the next best thing. And wait till you hear his guitar skill on the Tale of Jenny and Screech! It is truly a gift to hear Ren's music. A once-in-a-lifetime artist.
Thank you so much for your review. It's really great when a new person finds Ren and feels this song. Welcome to the rabbit hole. There really is before you first heard Ren and your new life after Ren. And because Ren says a rising tide lifts all ships, I've subscribed and I'll keep coming back to watch your next review.
I woke up this morning to a link of this video posted on Ren's Patreon. Loved your reaction and am so glad another RENagade recommended it. You get it. Subscribed! Please start your way down the Ren rabbit hole. It's so worth it. Next please, The Tale of Jenny and Screech. There's a version where they're all put together in one long video. I think it's near 13 minutes long but the storytelling is so good that the time will fly.
Welcome to life with Ren! Every thing Rem does is an experience. Your reaction was beautiful.
Ren is a genius and a beautiful human. He is a huge supporter of reactors…he will not copyright you. Subbed and look forward to your journey down the Rabbit Hole.
❤
I love watching new Renegades be born.
It’s emotional in a way that always reaches me, and often teaches me more about the music I love.
Thank you for your beautiful reaction.
Welcome to the life after hearing Ren 😄 Loved your reaction ❤
Wow! What a superb reaction mate! Possibly the best I've watched and I've seen hundreds. Your appreciation and analysis was both on the money and exciting to watch. I loved your emotional vulnerability at the end and the effect that Ren's work clearly had on you. The man is a generational artist, his fans are 18-80 years old and we are all saying we've never seen anything like him.
65. Absolutely the most impactful musician in my lifetime.
The fact that he records most of his videos live makes it all the more magical.
Ren’s musicianship, delivery, brilliant lyrical content, cadence, and raw emotion cannot be faked, and every fiber of his being can be felt through his music. It’s truly on another level. I end up with tears running down my face, as it’s so relatable. An artist hasn’t moved me like him in many years.
Ren is obviously a truly special artist, and I’m glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves. His gift needs to be shared, as it is healing and has genuine positivity backing it. I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to Ren for lighting a fire in me, I’d thought had burned out. 🔊🙏🎶💜”
I love seeing someone connecting with Ren’s work. Beautiful reaction 🖤
"Money Game 3" is his true masterpiece! It is even more like a play. Or to hear more about his personal struggles see "Sick Boi" and "Troubles." Enjoy!!!
ALWAYS. MG Part 1+2 FIRST!!

@@rogerstarkey5390 Usually yes, however, are they not unrelated. Did I miss something?
"Dude can sing!" Um, yeah. You are going to be discovering that the dude can everything.
Great reaction, you're a delight to watch! Ren's catalog is deep, over 200 songs on TH-cam, between his own channel and various bands and collaborations - take your time and savor. Storytelling, singing, rap, ballads, rock... you never know what you're gonna get. You can throw darts at anything in his catalog and find gems, but a few of my faves to add to your list: Genesis, Ready For You, Seven Sins. 🖤🖤🖤
I believe Ren is art on a molecular level. He exhales healing light codes.
Ren is made of music
Ren is every bit as important an artist as AJ is just on opposite sides of the music spectrum

Beautiful reaction! Ren has touched your soul, welcome to the Reneverse ❤
Yeah, he's like that. I remember my first time; life-changing..❤🎉
Great reaction my friend. Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. It’s vast and varied but all absolutely amazing.
Loved your reaction! Thank you for the sensitivity, depth and connection. Ren as you have seen is an absolute genious, it's almost supernatural. He is going through a difficult time because of this illness so it's quite nice and a beautiful tribute that you found him and reacted to this now!
Amazing reaction! It's reactors like you that allow us RENegades to be able to experience our first time hearing these words. I can't wait to watch as you dive into the Ren rabbit hole! You got a new Sub from me. Keep up the great work.
As others have said "one of the best Hi Ren reactions I've seen" and I think I've seen them all. I'm looking forward to seeing more Ren reactions. Subbed with anticipation!
Appreciate your authentic reaction and response to this masterpiece. I 💯 agree with elevating it to more than a song or just music, it’s Art in it’s highest form because it’s visual art, performance art, theater, musicianship, incredible composition, word play, rhythm….
Loved your breakdown! Really hope you keep going on this Ren journey!
I SO love seeing first time reactions to Ren. He is simply out on his own. You are in for such a wonderful experience getting to know him & his music. Great reaction 😊
Awesome reaction, thank you for sharing. This is what Ren does, it's amazing to watch. Stay safe and I can't wait to watch your journey

Dude I am here for your Journey. Top tier reaction to this. Welcome to a great community. Subbed
Beautifully said. I felt the same way watching this & Ren for the first time . I see Ren as a musical Shakespeare. He is indeed redefining music and his timing is no accident. People are thirsting for REAL and to reconnect during such divisive times. Ren is speaking TRUTH and yes, his music/message is really connecting. He is a rare gem.
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole ❤😊 dive deep, u won't regret it. Every song is different. Ren is known as the genre bender😂
Welcome to Ren. He crosses all genres and reaches all ages. I'm 62 and I'm obsessed. Welcome to the rabbit hole
