    Ren has a lot more to offer. He raps (see The Hunger, Genesis, Money Game 1 and 2, Sick Boi), he is a master story teller (see Jenny/Screech/Violet's Tale trilogy), and he has an absolute beautiful singing voice (Chalk Outlines w/ Chinchilla). Evocative. AND AND - many of his videos are live/one take. One of a kind.

Tale and violets tale is a TRILOGY.start with Jenny's tale,then Screetchs tale,and last is Violets tale.welcome to the wormhole that is REN.🙂✌

      I agree. Ren is a genius and this song made me go down the Ren rabbit hole. He is so versatile and you haven’t seen nothing jet of him. As someone with multiple autoimmune diseases I get him. He is the greatest artist I have ever come across in my entire 56 years of my life. What sets him apart from other artists are his lyrics and performances. He has something profound to say and his use of language is superior. He is so intelligent and philosophical and a great thinker. On top of that he is a masterful musician. I just hope his treatment in Canada the next 6 months will help him to make more music. Having gone through what he has gone through, misdiagnosed with several physical and mental illnesses when he had active bacterial infection of Lyme disease. A disease that all the doctors missed for almost a decade. It left him with several organ damages, his brain included. What a journey. Sony dropped him as soon as he got sick. So he just kept busking with his friends whenever he could.

    Thank you for doing this reaction guys. I am a little surprised that you both said it wasn't really one you would go back to, except to perhaps make further interpretation of the lyrics. That said, I appreciate that you both felt it was very creative and talented, and felt that Ryan's suggestion that it is something he would share is important. I was wondering why? The reason being, I also felt an overwhelming urge to share it too after I first listened to this song. I've mainly shared it with folk without mental health issues, but I have seen all over the internet folk with problems connecting with this song. And even if you don't, as George says, we can all recognise the struggle between the light and dark sides of ourselves. I have shared it with friends, family and even with patients and for different reasons, but always because I think that they will also get something from it, be it the creativity, the insight or that they will empathise.
    Cheers guys.

    Here is some additional information on Ren's story that I gathered from old newspaper interviews, articles, and Ren's public livestreams and posts. A handful of people frequently post an earlier version of my comment to various reactions that they copied and pasted verbatim, so if this is a repeat just ignore this comment. I keep editing the information, as needed, and have removed details about Ren that some found to be too personal, such as his full name and D.O.B. All the information here was gathered exclusively from sources Ren personally approved for public release.
    Ren is a British musician/independent artist/producer, self-taught multi-instrumentalist; originally from Wales. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, Ren began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures, which eventually caused him to discontinue his studies and return home. In addition, Ren was signed by Sony Records in 2010 and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point that he was unable to go on; consequently, his contract with Sony was dissolved. Ren would later relocate to Brighton.
    Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led him to experience psychosis and develop PTSD. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure.
    Ren is in Calgary, Canada for at least six months (Summer of 2023), undergoing treatments such as IV therapy and other interventions five days a week, as well as surgeries (wisdom tooth removal and cavitation surgery). His Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD), which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, and adrenals as well as his bones/joints. Hence, Ren is receiving additional treatments for this previously undiagnosed condition. He recently took a break from treatments and returned to the UK to visit family and friends, and to produce some very ambitious musical projects to be released soon.
    Let's keep supporting Ren as he undergoes his treatments. Check out and subscribe to his channel; if you are a content creator, ask your audience to subscribe to Ren. Ren's YT channel just surpassed 1 million subscribers. and his videos have garnered millions and millions of views. Listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to the world, and his work is important in these troubling times. Someone has finally created a Wikipedia page for Ren, so there is additional information available.

Fugg a book that says shrimp, immodest colors in woman's dress and murder are equal tickets to hell when modern philosophy contemplates the possibility that there exists a unique world for every choice contemplated. The unholy unimportance of this life in the face of eternal existence is much more frightening than the thought of the flame of this life being the only light we ever get. Dont waste this light hoping for better later. This might be all there is and it would be a shame if you wasted it dreaming of what someone told you might come after.

      1) The Bible is the most relevant book ever. It influences everything. There have been many attempts to "undress" it, but all have fallen short.
      2) Your comment about shrimp and clothing displays demonstrates your lack of comprehension, regarding the Bible.
      3) Please expound on which modern philosophies you are referencing. Free will vs Determinism? Or are you speaking of the philosophy of "Do what thou wilt."?

  • @JensRandolff
    @JensRandolff ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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.

You guys would love Losing It, The Hunger, Power and he just brought out his Bittersweet Symphony retake.
    Edit: You guys would also love his Money Game Pt. 1, 2 & 3 series. It's what the "She sells sea shells on the sea shore" is referencing as he uses it as a metaphor for capitalism in Money Game Pt.2 .

If you want to listen to the song uninterrupted, go watch the original video because you've missed the point lol. If the reactor doesn't pause the video, it makes it more likely to have a copyright strike. These people just like to complain lmao.

    This is an important song. Artists often struggle with imposter syndrome.
    There’s also a movie starring Olivia Munn called “Violet” that rings of this. It was a transformative experience for me… just as this song also resonates.
    As a person who’s never been able to escape negative self-talk, *realizing* that you can exert the strength that destructive voice questions-strength that you *know* you have-is sooo important.
    It takes time to push past the negativity-to make your own voice stronger, but if anyone out there is struggling with this, please please please *know* that you can do it.
    *Know* that I believe in you… but you don’t need me to-just like you don’t need the shroud of doubt that feels first of protection and then as a prison.
    You are *stronger* than that voice.
    You are stronger than you can *possibly* know…
    until you push back with softness or aggression-your choice.

    Late comment here so you may know his story by now. He has Lyme disease but he was misdiagnosed for 10 yrs. He suffered horrible physical & mental pain. He was bed-bound, housebound, told it was all in his head, overmedicated & given medications that make Lyme disease worse. There is every possibility that it could have killed him. He is currently receiving treatment in Calgary to try to mitigate the damage done.
