Ren tells the stories and the filming of the stories are all done so well i found myself looking for the bodies laying on the ground. The saddest thing about this is the fact each of these things are happening in every country at this very moment and the cycle continues
I have been with Ren on this Journey from Hi Ren, watched this song 30 times but just realized he has a lot of Johnny Cash characteristics in this performance, Cash would use his guitar as a gun and other sounds also. And that is a compliment Cash is a legend himself. Thanks for reacting ❤
What impresses me is Ren’s economy and efficiency at giving you facts. Eg. From hospital bed to end of one corridor he has perfectly set the background of Violet’s upbringing. One corridor and a set of stairs and we are in no doubt about her current situation. Brilliant.
This whole video was just incredible! All three! And the fact that it started on the street, and I assume it ended a block away (on the street). The door, staircase, everything just worked so well.
I am so pleased you read the comment someone explaining about Violets mother! Such an amazing performance. If you want a lighter note I would do Bongo Bong with his band The Big Push or the mash up " I Shot the Sheriff /Road to Zion/ Hiphop again the Big Push, his band mates are also awesome. However for vocals " CHALK OUTLINES LIVE with Chinchila " truly out of this world.
Yes, and not only that. "How To Be Me" also with Chinchila is amazing as well, then you have the songs with Eden Nash "Humble" and "Ocean". "Dominoes" is also amazing. The cover of "Englishman in New York" is astonishing. All simply great.
Thank you! And yes, there's a lot to unpack there. A lot! You need to watch it more then once to realize the intertwined paths all these characters have.
A bunch of people probably already told you but in Ren's interview he did with the reactor Black Pegasus he had his cameraman Sam with him and they talked about how they have a pilot or concept video done with them being able to make five more and they're pitching it to Netflix. In the future he wants established artists and especially up and coming artists to be on the show if it works out. It will be like musical theater but done simply the way him and Sam did The Tales of Jenny and screech. Because when it's simple like this and not all flashy with cut scenes, it literally brings you into the story even more cause there's nothing else to distract you. So you have to act like you're living it and perform, play guitar, rap, piano whatever and do it convincingly like Ren did or us the viewers will see right through it. If you want to see what Sam his cameraman looks like he's the dude driving Ren around in his rap video "Power" which is awesome song BTW and a little back story in it about Ren. And it's actually an uplifting Ren song for once haha not sad and an uppercut to the feels like some of the stuff you've reacted to already lol. Another amazing Ren one take is "Money Game" it's a one take, but it took them 128 takes to get the ONE take haha. Amazing acting and storytelling by Ren in that one too. There's a Money Game 2 and Money Game is in the works! Awesome reaction as always!
Oh!! I'll look that up! I'm interested to see what exactly he is planning! Oh man... it'll probably ground breaking. Strong. Impactful. Ohh! Exciting! Also - yes! Both Power and Money game are on my list! And Holly heck! 128 takes?!? They must have been exhausted by the end of it! 🤯
I just loved how you let it play all the way through! Also, your reaction was superb! Not to mention that for a long video your wrap-up reaction was on point and I appreciate you for keeping it Direct and I love your Insight!
Dear Roni... here is an exceptional piece by..The Big Push and Ren! I think you are really going to enjoy this request! Hope you play this and I'll be waiting! Would love to see your reaction th-cam.com/video/-jpVJIoIv9g/w-d-xo.html
What a great working class opera in 3 acts... Reminds me a little of "The Threepenny Opera" by Brecht and Weill. And what a great reaction, heartfelt, short and precise... Subscribed... Other recommondation? An older one, (4 years) and really great: "Dominoes" ☀🌧🌈
I am SO impressed by your ability to take in a performance, allowing the art to speak, without the repeated ADHD interruptions of verbal diarrhea typical of nearly all reactors. I can not tell you how refreshing it is to watch someone who recognizes the artistic and musical nuances, is able to take mental notes, and is perfectly fine talking about all of it after being able to experience the piece as the artist intended - as a continuous performance. It hurts my brain when I see reactors who are clearly recognizing what they're watching as something special, decide to derail their own 1st time experience in order to blather on, or ask the most inane questions of a comment section that exists only in the future. They'll do it for minutes at a time, some doing so 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 times over the course of the song. I feel bad for them because you never get second chances at 1st time experiences.
It makes me really sad, that we are losing the ability to truly engage. I see it with my 17yo son. As he's watching a movie he's also looking up stuff about that movie on his phone. He argues that it extends his understanding of what's going on, but I think it derails his empathetic connection to the characters and storyline. When reactors continually stop to add their own comments, they're failing to allow the emotional impact of what they're seeing. Part of the absolute genius of Ren is these terrible dichotomies he creates; moments where we are in awe of the sublime creativity at the same time as being hit with the brutal content of the lyrics. It makes for some very uncomfortable moments, wherein we are challenged to examine our own responses and ideals. This is the point of his music. I think we are losing that ability to self-interrogate, and I worry about what that means for our emotional growth as a society. Anyway, that's my two cents worth. I really enjoyed this reaction.
Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback! I guess every one has their own way of soaking in the art. For me - is just to let it flow until the end. If I forget to say something, so be it. I don't want to disturb it. Also - I come from the arts. So I have an additional level of respect to someone's performance. However - I respect anyone with their own way of absorbing the art. (: Thanks again. Made me smile.
It's really interesting to see how younger generations deal with society and emotions. Scary at times. but intriguing. They are so open from one hand... and so... closed off on the other. I can't really put it into words right now. Been a long day. But I appreciate your two cents. (:
I have been following Ren since January, he is truely amazing . You have a lot to discover still about how versatile and talented he is but to me he is just kind, smart and uniquely talented at communicating with a very broad group of people from all walks and ilks. I subscribed to I can watch you experiience his diversity. If I were to suggest something I would ask that you listen to Losing it as a chance to see some more skills in a work that is simply fun to watch rather than mood altering.
Ren just raised 23,000 pounds for this Volunteer Nautical Search & Rescue Team from his hometown in Whales, UK. They were the people who searched; night & day for almost a week, for the body of Ren's best friend Joe Hughes. Joe committed suicide jumping from a bridge. Ren released a tribute song to Joe 13yrs after his passing to raise the money in his memory. Ren recorded this LIVE From Calgary, where Ren has been in treatment for his Lyme Disease. Ren - For Joe (A Live Piano & Lyrical Tribute by Ren) Get your tissues out 😭💔😭!!
OMG Rob... I just shot a "reaction" video for Freckled Angles". I can't call it reaction because... Well - you guys will see. I couldn't even finish my video. But! I was HEAVILY inspired to do something special... (:
Sometimes the world makes you so hard, you protect yourself against alot of things, but Ren always lowers my inner guard... thx Ren for making me feel alive inside..
Like your approach to reacting 👌 absorption then reaction 👍. Your going to love your journey into the Renaverse, Ive been lost in hear for nearly a year 🔥🔥🔥. Not a bad track from this Man and hes got me loving his rapping lots of live one take videos as well as Duets his former Band The big Push so much to see and learn very insightful and Raw comments on the world we live in and life itself. ✌️❤️ New sub from Scotland 🏴.
I'm loving it so far! A lot! I listened to a few of his tracks now, but I can't keep up with the editing pace yet. I'll release hopefully more and more videos soon! (I'm grateful to have a day job, but man - I prefer to do this more then anything!). Also - Thank you for your feedback! Really appreciate it!
Now THAT'S how to do a reaction. Both during and with the monologue afterwards. Others should take note. Needless to say, have subscribed and thoroughly looking forward to watching you as you descend further in to the Ren rabbit hole.
I watched your Hi Ren video today 7/4/23 and I was pleasantly surprised you did another so quickly. I subbed to you. I am a retired 64yr, and I am so hooked on watching reactor reacting to Ren. At least 200 reactions. I would put your reaction in the top for sure and the top 5 on getting it emotionally. I could go on, but your pure reaction is priceless. PS just like Hi Ren these were on take video live performances. Best of times to you and your loved ones. Welcome to the Ren Rabbit hole
Lmao the frickin facial expression you have on the thumbnail for this video made me almost choke on my food from laughing😆. Matches what it's like listening to this song perfectly.
Excellent reaction to this great work of art--the power of a two-hour movie condensed into 13 minutes! Ren, in at least two interviews and/or Twitch sessions, talked about him and his videographer Samuel preparing material to present to Netflix as a proposal for a series. I might have gotten that wrong; maybe they're already "in talks" with Netflix. Either way, you could see Ren's face light up when he mentioned it. He truly is a bard and a minstrel at heart, maybe even a reincarnated one. 🤠
I wish nothing more then us binge watching his show on NETFLIX!!!!! Once they sort out the whole writer's strike thing... Writers, creators and artists should receive what they deserve. (: But yes I look forward to it. And in case I get to audition to it - or be a part of it?? Oh my God. Dream come true!
@@ronireacts_to_all Ah, yes! When you mentioned auditioning, I had to look at your NF - Happy cover and thought that you have the voice, expressions, aura and confident manner of an actress! That'd be great if you could audition and "snag" a part for Ren's Netflix series (which I'm sure will happen, especially when Ren's 1,000,000 Ren-egades all start bombarding Netflix with emails and petitions to make his project happen!). And yes, writers and artists definitely deserve to be paid well for their work! After all, no artists = no art = dictators rule the world.
Since you are really enjoying this Rens journey, now is time to watch to and react to a different side of this actual Shakespeare, his singing voice. Please do "Chalk Outlines" and "How to be me" both live versions and featuring Chinchilla, she's amazing too. GREAT REACTION BY THE WAY, I LOVE YOUR SENSITIVITY!! 🤘🏼🎶
Gosh darn it Roni. I swore I was not going to watch this tale again, I end up bawling each time. So do me a favor Roni, stop being so bloody charming and human... K?
Loved your reaction Really appreciate extra effort with the editing For a less guitar centric songs by Ren I would recommend Genesis, otherwise mash-up of I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop with his band Big Push might be worth considering Regardless see you in the next reaction
I love your clarity of mind to be able to listen to the entire thing as intended, and then come out the other side and convey your thoughts and emotions.
Lol you can literally see the realisation on your face when you figure out that last line before he said it. Us too. That last line was a freight train. I listened to this song an hour ago and I'm still crying
Great reaction Roni! I could feel your reactions through your visual expressions! It’s really nice to see and feel your raw emotion with no imitation that I’m so tired of seeing in so many reaction videos! That was fun, as I think all of us had fun watching it with you! Have a great day!
Thanks for sharing your emotional reaction. Also for recognizing the one-take and the skills that are required. Thanks for sharing the perspective of your viewers about the piece. I liked that you appreciated the elements of production and those who are involved. Thanks for sharing the situations which make you feel afraid. Thanks for focusing on the positive response.
This is what playing in the streets of Brighton for years and years gets you, performance skills, couple that with being immersed in music and instruments from an early age and we have Ren.
Thank you for your honest and heartfelt reactions to Ren. I'm a 67 year old grandfather that grew up with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. My sister made me watch "Hi Ren" and I fought liking it until I started watching reaction videos. Thank you, again, for helping me to realize the pure genius that is Ren. I'm off to watch more of your reactions!
Thank you so much for your comment. I appreciate it so much (and hope you enjoyed the other videos). Sometimes it takes a while to "get" a certain artist or a certain video/song, and sometimes, it's just not your type of music. When I was younger I tried to listen to Pink Floyd and didn't connect with it. I'm going to try again soon. (: 🎸🎶
Thank You, Roni. I enjoy all your reactions and can't wait for you to give Pink Floyd a second chance. Comfortably Numb, live, would be a good start. Thanks again!❤ @@ronireacts_to_all
I love your reaction to this! Such authentic emotions and intelligent commentary. But you really get a new sub just for that sweater, which speaks to my style taste! Lol. Great job! 😊😉
This is my first time to your channel and I loved your reaction, so I subbed for more! I totally understand the feeling when something is off or women’s intuition. However in Jenny’s case I feel like she felt something much deeper because her twin was the one who was around the corner.
Oooof! That makes sense! I didn't catch that on my first view (which was my reaction). But after looking at the comments and watching it again - I caught that. I love that added value to that feeling! Also - so sorry you felt that. I hate that feeling. And thank you for coming in to the channel! Welcome!
I hope he does... Maybe one day. I hope he sees that he had an impact on a girl named Roni. And that he inspired me to push myself beyond my limits and imagination.
Thank you so much. There is so much! For arts sake, do Crutch fearuring Bibi. A tru Gem done in 2015 after a serious health breakdown . And then do last week's release. For Joe.
I saw that "For Joe" just came out! I listened to Frackled Angeles this week and... oh man... the tears would not stop. I definitely want to see "For Joe", but need a little recuperate time. Freckled Angeles really did a number on me. 🩷😭
He has to be the most creative artist we’ve had (at least that has been known) in decades if not longer. Just the concept for this song alone. Who else has done something like this in this way that it comes across like a movie or theatre? Tying everything together at the end with Jenny and Screech being twins separated at birth because their mother died due to violence, just for them to both die of violence and one at the hand of the other. Crazy creativity.
I love your reactions, very heartfelt and quick on the uptake, the music and art appreciation you show. Some seem to miss the import of certain phrases, or the penny doesn't drop with the twist at the end, some reactors expressions are dramatic as the words hit, so I'm am never sure if everyone gets some bits. Like in 'Hi Ren' near the end where he says 'Some people know me as Hope... Some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope...' That second line hit some hard, as it does me, because that is how a friend of mine took his life only days after a long online chat with me, it was his dad who found him. I had messaged mutual friends that I was worried, people who were nearer him (he was in the UK), so that is also why the end of 'Suic*de' hits hard, the sense you were late, you could have done more. In 'The Tales,' I think some miss this part: 'every night he tuck her tight but never left the room...' 'I'll spare you with the things he did, I'm sure her mother knew...' 'moved out at 16, a semi-detached council flat provided by a welfare scheme...' The only girl who would get a council flat like that in the UK would be pregnant... she was likely pregnant by her father. Multigenerational trauma and abuse. Perhaps part of 'Stevie's' anger and calling her a liar? These videos were actually made a year apart. The basis of the idea came from a newspaper article about two youths who lost their lives, first a young prostitute in Paddington who was killed during a mugging, then the young offender who killed her shot dead by responding officer. There is a line that was a quote from the article where the commanding officer said 'they were so young, it's such a shame.' So Ren uses it, 'It's such a shame.' Originally it was just the two videos, but the third part was created to bring them back together as a way to understand the origins of the characters, the generational abuse, neglect, and trauma that led to their lives, a repeat of their parents, and the resulting continuing tragedy. Shakespearean indeed.
Very theatrical, and very gut wrenching. Some of the things I missed on the first watch (and sometimes even on the second), other things I caught. I love what he makes and how he makes it. He puts so much of himself in his art. Just like artists are supposed to do. I try to do the same. And it's not easy, so my appreciation for him is immense.
The whole trilogy is so moving full of twists & turns !! Ren is an amazing Actor! Brilliant song writer' guitarist' producer' poet' wordsmith'& so much more besides :-):-):-)
What an honest beautiful reaction Roni. Great job. To have something effect you so deeply is a wonderful thing to be able to behold and experience. Thanks for letting us into your world . Keep up the good work.
Wonderful reaction - showing both the wonder and appreciation for Ren's Magic and the emotion that comes with listening to this dark storyline. Greetings from another Ronnie
I so enjoyed your reaction both during and after the video, it truly is an amazing story and you are right, he really pulls us into the streets as he tells it.
U may really like his singing in "I shot the sheriff road to Zion" by the big push. Make sure it's the video of him wearing red suspenders! It's far better than the other older one with more views.
This is rough, it's hard going. But, Ren is providing us with a safe space to understand a little more and hopefully discuss these issues in a place away from the usual 'hyper-polarised' societies that we increasingly find ourselves in, where who says something is more important than what is being said. 'He/she said it, they are over there, who cares what they have to say.' In these spaces that are being created, such as your own here, regardless of our affiliations we can be charitable and kind to each other and try to help each other grow. Massive hug to anyone who might be in need of one. big kiss and just remember that Ren has a lot of light hearted stuff. too. x
its a trickle of adrenaline that runs down ones spine when you are alerted but cant tell why it could be a faint scent , a distant echo ... anything .. but not enough to point to it as soldier on patrol . or a woman alone . you are primed to pay attention .. but if you cant identify the threat this is all you get.... your Mind IS NOT playing tricks on you ,,, you just cant consciously perceive everything your senses detect
My Nf friend! Hello again ms. Roni, so great reaction ma’am! I can easily see you becoming immersed from start to finish in this video, your emotions overflowing and ceasing you’re body language to a perfect still. Which only conveys to me what I already knew, you feel the art through your bones. As tough as it was to sit through the video I give this man his praise , with each verse of each song he’s making it a point to say that you may not be familiar or relate to this scenario but you’re going to hear about this way of life in the first two songs and if you still can’t see what I’m projecting Then my third song will slap you in the face with a shovel and then you’ll open your eyes. Well at least that’s my interpretation and why I love music as well because it means something different to all of us! Again amazing reaction and I’ll see you next video ma’am!!
You seemed to exercise emotional restraint through most of the video, which (for me) made it very satisfying when you expressed your feelings so powerfully in your summary. Thank you for all the impressions, information, and other details you shared, Roni.
Good reaction. Thank you. However, did you miss the fact that Violet was the mother of both Jenny and Screech? Not everyone notices it. I didn't at first. Ren re-winded to 2005 for a good reason.
@@ronireacts_to_all thought you missed it, Screech and Jenny were brother and sister, but didn't know it. Grew up apart no doubt. It never ceases to amaze me how we get so emotionally involved with fictious characters, in various mediums. Part of me thinks it's good to feel, but part of me thinks, getting upset (or whatever) over something that isn't real is a bit odd.
@seth1455 Well I feel like it is real. Somewhere in the world it happened, and still happening. Names are different, countries are different, but nevertheless - it happens. For me it was real. But I also cried in "The Lion King" so... 😁🤷🏻♀️
@@ronireacts_to_all There is an ancient philosophical tradition which says that anything we can think about is just as real as something we can see or touch. Quite independently Jesus taught the same thing in relation to the concept of sin: thinking about it makes us as sinful as doing it. Putting sin aside, Gandalf, James Bond, Spiderman and even Jesus are considered fictitious by some but I say everything is real and magic is real but it is sometimes real in unexpected ways. I have so much more to say... Ren is so inspiring.
Jenny had her mother's stillness in the face of violence. Screech had his father's violence etched into him. I do not forgive him and I do not fault her... but Violet... I cried for her.
His playing and singing imperfections used to bug me at first... now... it shows me just how Genious he is!!!! Imperfect perfection!!! So gonna get a shirt made with that on it!
The one thing I think some people may miss or not realize is that the policeman who shot Screech is also a victim in some ways however he survives the encounter only to now have to deal with the effects of shooting someone.
I'd love to see your reaction to some of Ren's work when he was sick & didn't yet know he was misdiagnosed, to see that as a series of songs you cover. Can I suggest Depression, Insomnia, Crutch, Diazepam, Dear God, Patience, Heretic, Ready for you & Dominoes as a series of Ren songs... I know it's a lot, but that order makes the most sense to me. Great stuff, new subscriber
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. Love your reaction. So much more to see. The man is pure genius. It will be interesting to see what you think about the Money Game. You also need to look at the busking days of the Big Push, in Brighton UK and some rare delights with Liv, outside the upside down house at sunset.
I so enjoyed watching your reaction and hearing your impressions! Wonderfully done. On a side note: I have only heard 1 person in my life pronounce guitar the way you do. That person was my mother, who passed many years ago... it brought cheerful tears of rememberance to my eyes. Thank you.😊
Love the reaction you need to delve into frekaled angle album. And the big push Fire and pockets full of pain, those two ren tracks helped save me. Youll see how.
Before the end of the day, or better yet at the beginning of tomorrow's day... Watch Rens "Power" video! Great way to start the day! Or at the gym, or driving down the road! Or cleaning the house... etc! As is Ready for you! Heard that the first time this morning... it's been playing on repeat for hours! Love his musical abilities! He's NOT just a GCD artist, his musical abilities are Far Above most people's abilities! Says a Hard Rock guitarist who has been playing a LONG Time!!!
@ronireacts_to_all It's another one of those tracks that's just catchy as heck, pure Vibability! Love driving down the road to it... top down... turnt up... and just simply VIBE!!! Lol
The Man can literally tell a tale by the particular Notes he chooses alone! Including the lack of notes, efficiency and emotional tonality combined at its best! Much More than the basic major minor happiness foreboding thing! Musically he truly is Brilliant!
@@ronireacts_to_all yes and it’s equally fantastic. What a mesh up! I don’t understand this guy. As a musician/writer myself I just want to quit after listening to this man. It’s inspiring for sure but damn, who can beat that?
Peace and Love to you and yours Bae. Honestly 💜.... Seen this maybe 40x now and it still hits for the right reasons. New to your channel. Instant sub. Look forward to going back through your vids. Peace and Love darlin'. Make sure you watch his busking he alone, he w the Big Push, he w Chinchilla... this man has talent that is generational. [edited because i cannot spell as fast as i scribe so... Fidiot? yeah thats me]
Oh thank you so much! Really appreciate you coming over and subbing! Also - please don't feel bad about spelling! I'm not great at it either! lol! And yes I have his busking performances listed on my list! Thank you for the suggestions!
For me, as a 90's kid, it is long overdue for us to have something that means something. It's dark, it's painful, but it's real. I've spent 20 plus years waiting for this feeling again. Not for the feeling of darkness, just for a feeling. He has some glorious, light-heated songs that deserve recognition as well. But, let us all take a step back. Music finally, hits us again! Music should be about our story. Bad, or good, is it honest? It's not, generally! Now, it's in your face! I couldn't give a shit whether you agree or not. I'll wake up tomorrow knowing I'm being the guy that cares.
@@ronireacts_to_all Nicely said. And just for the record, please know that the line " I couldn't give a shit whether you agree or not" was obviously not personal. It was directed at the people who live in the :shallow waters of music. Which, definitely, is not where you come from. Much love and look forward to looking into more of your stuff.
You have never heard Ren sing, watch "Chalk Outlines" by Ren and Chinchilla to watch Ren sing. (Remember Chinchilla's first Verse it's the key to the song).
this thing blew my mind the first time. it was like a homer tragedy for me. no one write tragedy like this anymore. and the message of domestic violence. if we could all realize we are brothers and sisters maybe we could stop this bs.
If we could only replace anger and frustration with love and compassion. Just understanding that what you think may not be what I think (and be OK with it) and what I do affects you, and vice versa, so I could change my ways a bit, and you could change your perception of it a bit. Meet in the middle. Balance. Hmm... I'd like that.
Ooof. I had to learn that. Life lessons. Now, every time my senses tingle, I stay on hyper alert and try to get away from that area/situation/person asap.
Ren...the only artist that can off 3 people in one setting and it be considered a masterpiece
He is so good. One in a lifetime.
The true mastery is the fact that he's able to get us so deeply invested in each one of these characters in less than 2 min
To be fair, Shakespeare did a pretty good job of that too. But no music so, yeah, REN’s still the guy to beat.
LOL -too true!
@@ronireacts_to_all Generational talent. We must protect him at any cost!
The line 'she never stood a chance' gives me full body goosebumps and shivers every single time
Ren is a musical and lyrical genius. He is a master of many genres of music. Rap, hip hop, reggae, rock and more. He's unique and awesome.
Yes he is!!
@@tomharris9954Peace, and enjoy today. ✌️
To hear Ren sing sing (and meet another compelling artist), do "Chalk Outlines (Live)."
It's on my list! Looking forward to it!!!
Also need to hear Oceans , and Humble...
@@kevinlangley3782 Added to my list! Thank you! 🙏
Ren tells the stories and the filming of the stories are all done so well i found myself looking for the bodies laying on the ground. The saddest thing about this is the fact each of these things are happening in every country at this very moment and the cycle continues
I know.. it's so sad...
I have been with Ren on this Journey from Hi Ren, watched this song 30 times but just realized he has a lot of Johnny Cash characteristics in this performance, Cash would use his guitar as a gun and other sounds also. And that is a compliment Cash is a legend himself. Thanks for reacting ❤
Oh I can kinda sorta see the resemblance. And yes "Hurt" is one of my favorite gut wrench songs by Cash.
What impresses me is Ren’s economy and efficiency at giving you facts. Eg. From hospital bed to end of one corridor he has perfectly set the background of Violet’s upbringing. One corridor and a set of stairs and we are in no doubt about her current situation. Brilliant.
This whole video was just incredible! All three! And the fact that it started on the street, and I assume it ended a block away (on the street). The door, staircase, everything just worked so well.
I am so pleased you read the comment someone explaining about Violets mother! Such an amazing performance. If you want a lighter note I would do Bongo Bong with his band The Big Push or the mash up " I Shot the Sheriff /Road to Zion/ Hiphop again the Big Push, his band mates are also awesome. However for vocals " CHALK OUTLINES LIVE with Chinchila " truly out of this world.
Oh thank you! All of those are already on my list!
Yes, and not only that.
"How To Be Me" also with Chinchila is amazing as well, then you have the songs with Eden Nash "Humble" and "Ocean". "Dominoes" is also amazing. The cover of "Englishman in New York" is astonishing.
All simply great.
@@JustaGuy2.0 Looking forward to hearing all of those! Thank you! 🙏
That bit at the bottom of the staircase is stunning. Combination of shocking lyrics, great camera work, timing and the chords he uses.
also the echo up that stairwell adds such depth to the sound !
I can see Ren as a portal into a world hundreds of years ago when he entertained Kings and Queens.
And he always got to keep is head! 😂
@@Calmontheoutside Good point. And I laughed like a madman. Thank you! Hoot!
The Tales are hard to fathom for many. The kicker at the end is a freak kick to the gut. Your reaction was great to watch.
Thank you! And yes, there's a lot to unpack there. A lot! You need to watch it more then once to realize the intertwined paths all these characters have.
Not just an incredible artist and songwritter, he's also quite an incredible actor too
I would cast him to a show or a movie in a heart beat.
Ren is going to become an amazing actor down the track. His talent is endless ❤
I'd cast him in a heart beat to be in a movie or a TV show.
A bunch of people probably already told you but in Ren's interview he did with the reactor Black Pegasus he had his cameraman Sam with him and they talked about how they have a pilot or concept video done with them being able to make five more and they're pitching it to Netflix. In the future he wants established artists and especially up and coming artists to be on the show if it works out. It will be like musical theater but done simply the way him and Sam did The Tales of Jenny and screech. Because when it's simple like this and not all flashy with cut scenes, it literally brings you into the story even more cause there's nothing else to distract you. So you have to act like you're living it and perform, play guitar, rap, piano whatever and do it convincingly like Ren did or us the viewers will see right through it.
If you want to see what Sam his cameraman looks like he's the dude driving Ren around in his rap video "Power" which is awesome song BTW and a little back story in it about Ren. And it's actually an uplifting Ren song for once haha not sad and an uppercut to the feels like some of the stuff you've reacted to already lol.
Another amazing Ren one take is "Money Game" it's a one take, but it took them 128 takes to get the ONE take haha. Amazing acting and storytelling by Ren in that one too. There's a Money Game 2 and Money Game is in the works!
Awesome reaction as always!
Oh!! I'll look that up! I'm interested to see what exactly he is planning! Oh man... it'll probably ground breaking. Strong. Impactful. Ohh! Exciting! Also - yes! Both Power and Money game are on my list! And Holly heck! 128 takes?!? They must have been exhausted by the end of it! 🤯
Ren makes us care. That's it. Incredibly hard to do but so powerful.
Right?
I just loved how you let it play all the way through! Also, your reaction was superb! Not to mention that for a long video your wrap-up reaction was on point and I appreciate you for keeping it Direct and I love your Insight!
Thank you! I tired my best! I missed a lot of things, of course, but I like giving the respect to the artist and video I'm watching. 🩷🙏🎶🎸
Thanks again for replying Roni !! 🙏🏼Bless you on your journey! You are are fun to watch and your responses are on point! Carpe diem!
@@lisar6510 Carpe Diem! Love it!
Dear Roni... here is an exceptional piece by..The Big Push and Ren! I think you are really going to enjoy this request! Hope you play this and I'll be waiting! Would love to see your reaction th-cam.com/video/-jpVJIoIv9g/w-d-xo.html
He really is one of the best songwriters I know and he tackles such difficult subject matter unflinchingly.
I agree! 🎶💜🙏
Well spoke my friend! ❤ uk marlee
What a great working class opera in 3 acts... Reminds me a little of "The Threepenny Opera" by Brecht and Weill. And what a great reaction, heartfelt, short and precise... Subscribed... Other recommondation? An older one, (4 years) and really great: "Dominoes" ☀🌧🌈
Thank you so much! I'll add it to my list!
The man is criminally talented
So well and accurately put!
I am SO impressed by your ability to take in a performance, allowing the art to speak, without the repeated ADHD interruptions of verbal diarrhea typical of nearly all reactors. I can not tell you how refreshing it is to watch someone who recognizes the artistic and musical nuances, is able to take mental notes, and is perfectly fine talking about all of it after being able to experience the piece as the artist intended - as a continuous performance. It hurts my brain when I see reactors who are clearly recognizing what they're watching as something special, decide to derail their own 1st time experience in order to blather on, or ask the most inane questions of a comment section that exists only in the future. They'll do it for minutes at a time, some doing so 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 times over the course of the song. I feel bad for them because you never get second chances at 1st time experiences.
Put about as well as could be put.
It makes me really sad, that we are losing the ability to truly engage. I see it with my 17yo son. As he's watching a movie he's also looking up stuff about that movie on his phone. He argues that it extends his understanding of what's going on, but I think it derails his empathetic connection to the characters and storyline. When reactors continually stop to add their own comments, they're failing to allow the emotional impact of what they're seeing. Part of the absolute genius of Ren is these terrible dichotomies he creates; moments where we are in awe of the sublime creativity at the same time as being hit with the brutal content of the lyrics. It makes for some very uncomfortable moments, wherein we are challenged to examine our own responses and ideals. This is the point of his music. I think we are losing that ability to self-interrogate, and I worry about what that means for our emotional growth as a society. Anyway, that's my two cents worth. I really enjoyed this reaction.
@@Q.Q. Well, thank you. That's very kind of you to say. I try
Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback! I guess every one has their own way of soaking in the art. For me - is just to let it flow until the end. If I forget to say something, so be it. I don't want to disturb it. Also - I come from the arts. So I have an additional level of respect to someone's performance. However - I respect anyone with their own way of absorbing the art. (: Thanks again. Made me smile.
It's really interesting to see how younger generations deal with society and emotions. Scary at times. but intriguing. They are so open from one hand... and so... closed off on the other. I can't really put it into words right now. Been a long day. But I appreciate your two cents. (:
I have been following Ren since January, he is truely amazing . You have a lot to discover still about how versatile and talented he is but to me he is just kind, smart and uniquely talented at communicating with a very broad group of people from all walks and ilks. I subscribed to I can watch you experiience his diversity. If I were to suggest something I would ask that you listen to Losing it as a chance to see some more skills in a work that is simply fun to watch rather than mood altering.
Oh! Yes! That one is also on my list! Might take me a hot minute to get to it, but def going to watch it. Also - thank you. (:
Ren just raised 23,000 pounds for this Volunteer Nautical Search & Rescue Team from his hometown in Whales, UK. They were the people who searched; night & day for almost a week, for the body of Ren's best friend Joe Hughes. Joe committed suicide jumping from a bridge.
Ren released a tribute song to Joe 13yrs after his passing to raise the money in his memory.
Ren recorded this LIVE From Calgary, where Ren has been in treatment for his Lyme Disease.
Ren - For Joe (A Live Piano & Lyrical Tribute by Ren)
Get your tissues out 😭💔😭!!
OMG Rob... I just shot a "reaction" video for Freckled Angles". I can't call it reaction because... Well - you guys will see. I couldn't even finish my video. But! I was HEAVILY inspired to do something special... (:
*Wales.
Sometimes I randomly recite “London city, far from pretty. Two zero zero five” lol … goat Ren
Ha! It did run through my head a few times at work already.
Sometimes the world makes you so hard, you protect yourself against alot of things, but Ren always lowers my inner guard... thx Ren for making me feel alive inside..
True! And that is such a beautiful thing about art and artists. They make it safe for us to feel, with no logic or blocks or guards. Just. Feel.
our smooth lines might be pretty but it is our jagged edges that make us interesting.
Like your approach to reacting 👌 absorption then reaction 👍.
Your going to love your journey into the Renaverse,
Ive been lost in hear for nearly a year 🔥🔥🔥.
Not a bad track from this Man and hes got me loving his rapping lots of live one take videos as well as Duets his former Band The big Push so much to see and learn very insightful and Raw comments on the world we live in and life itself. ✌️❤️ New sub from Scotland 🏴.
I'm loving it so far! A lot! I listened to a few of his tracks now, but I can't keep up with the editing pace yet. I'll release hopefully more and more videos soon! (I'm grateful to have a day job, but man - I prefer to do this more then anything!).
Also - Thank you for your feedback! Really appreciate it!
Now THAT'S how to do a reaction. Both during and with the monologue afterwards. Others should take note. Needless to say, have subscribed and thoroughly looking forward to watching you as you descend further in to the Ren rabbit hole.
Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback! I have been spiraling up and down and sideways with him. What a fun rollercoaster!
@@ronireacts_to_all ...And you've not scratched the surface!
I watched your Hi Ren video today 7/4/23 and I was pleasantly surprised you did another so quickly. I subbed to you. I am a retired 64yr, and I am so hooked on watching reactor reacting to Ren. At least 200 reactions. I would put your reaction in the top for sure and the top 5 on getting it emotionally. I could go on, but your pure reaction is priceless. PS just like Hi Ren these were on take video live performances. Best of times to you and your loved ones. Welcome to the Ren Rabbit hole
Oh thank you so much for the compliment and feedback! 🩷🙏 I can't wait to watch more!
Lmao the frickin facial expression you have on the thumbnail for this video made me almost choke on my food from laughing😆. Matches what it's like listening to this song perfectly.
Hahaha! Yup! 🤣🤪🔥🤟🙏
A powerful reaction to a powerful performance. Thank you!
Thank you! He is indeed powerful!
Excellent reaction to this great work of art--the power of a two-hour movie condensed into 13 minutes! Ren, in at least two interviews and/or Twitch sessions, talked about him and his videographer Samuel preparing material to present to Netflix as a proposal for a series. I might have gotten that wrong; maybe they're already "in talks" with Netflix. Either way, you could see Ren's face light up when he mentioned it. He truly is a bard and a minstrel at heart, maybe even a reincarnated one. 🤠
I wish nothing more then us binge watching his show on NETFLIX!!!!! Once they sort out the whole writer's strike thing... Writers, creators and artists should receive what they deserve. (:
But yes I look forward to it. And in case I get to audition to it - or be a part of it?? Oh my God. Dream come true!
@@ronireacts_to_all Ah, yes! When you mentioned auditioning, I had to look at your NF - Happy cover and thought that you have the voice, expressions, aura and confident manner of an actress! That'd be great if you could audition and "snag" a part for Ren's Netflix series (which I'm sure will happen, especially when Ren's 1,000,000 Ren-egades all start bombarding Netflix with emails and petitions to make his project happen!). And yes, writers and artists definitely deserve to be paid well for their work! After all, no artists = no art = dictators rule the world.
Oh, forgot to request a cover of Ren's Humble. 🤠
@@ClearTheRubble7 noted!
Since you are really enjoying this Rens journey, now is time to watch to and react to a different side of this actual Shakespeare, his singing voice. Please do "Chalk Outlines" and "How to be me" both live versions and featuring Chinchilla, she's amazing too. GREAT REACTION BY THE WAY, I LOVE YOUR SENSITIVITY!! 🤘🏼🎶
Thanks Robert! I just watched a few more videos by Ren and wow!!!! Wow! WOW! Trying to keep up with the editing - so I can publish more often.
@@ronireacts_to_all That sounds great! I'll be counting the seconds to enjoy your reactions. Thanks to you!! 🤘🏼🎶
Gosh darn it Roni. I swore I was not going to watch this tale again, I end up bawling each time. So do me a favor Roni, stop being so bloody charming and human... K?
Ah man... thank you. 💜🙏🫂
Great reaction ty 🙏👍🐊❤️🦉
Thank you!!!
Excellent reaction. You have a new fan! Thanks.
Oh yay! Thank you!! 🙏💜
At 8:04 though... right! A simple line of pull offs yet Damn... sounded Sooo Good!
So good.
Loved your reaction
Really appreciate extra effort with the editing
For a less guitar centric songs by Ren I would recommend Genesis, otherwise mash-up of I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop with his band Big Push might be worth considering
Regardless see you in the next reaction
Thank you! I'm doing my best to get better with each video. Also - YES! I have those on my list!
thank you for reacting and supporting my favourite artist ever ❤❤❤
Yay!!!! Thank YOU for being here!
I love your clarity of mind to be able to listen to the entire thing as intended, and then come out the other side and convey your thoughts and emotions.
Thank you! I like to let it all play. Respect the piece. Kinda like watching a movie at the theater and only afterwards talking about it. 💜🎶
Lol you can literally see the realisation on your face when you figure out that last line before he said it. Us too. That last line was a freight train. I listened to this song an hour ago and I'm still crying
Oh man yes. It hits HARD! classic Ren. 🙏💜🎸🎶🔥
It is like watching a play.
He is brilliant.
Unique.
Yes! Indeed!
This is a modern day Bard....
Yes. And it is awesome!
Great reaction Roni! I could feel your reactions through your visual expressions! It’s really nice to see and feel your raw emotion with no imitation that I’m so tired of seeing in so many reaction videos! That was fun, as I think all of us had fun watching it with you! Have a great day!
Thank you! I hope you did! Have fun I mean.
Thanks for sharing your emotional reaction. Also for recognizing the one-take and the skills that are required. Thanks for sharing the perspective of your viewers about the piece. I liked that you appreciated the elements of production and those who are involved. Thanks for sharing the situations which make you feel afraid. Thanks for focusing on the positive response.
Thank you/ I really appreciate your comment. 💜🙏
This is what playing in the streets of Brighton for years and years gets you, performance skills, couple that with being immersed in music and instruments from an early age and we have Ren.
We are lucky. 🎶🎸💜
Thank you for your honest and heartfelt reactions to Ren. I'm a 67 year old grandfather that grew up with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. My sister made me watch "Hi Ren" and I fought liking it until I started watching reaction videos. Thank you, again, for helping me to realize the pure genius that is Ren. I'm off to watch more of your reactions!
Thank you so much for your comment. I appreciate it so much (and hope you enjoyed the other videos). Sometimes it takes a while to "get" a certain artist or a certain video/song, and sometimes, it's just not your type of music. When I was younger I tried to listen to Pink Floyd and didn't connect with it. I'm going to try again soon. (: 🎸🎶
Thank You, Roni. I enjoy all your reactions and can't wait for you to give Pink Floyd a second chance. Comfortably Numb, live, would be a good start.
Thanks again!❤ @@ronireacts_to_all
I love your reaction to this! Such authentic emotions and intelligent commentary. But you really get a new sub just for that sweater, which speaks to my style taste! Lol. Great job! 😊😉
Haha! Yes! Thank you!🙏💜 I love that sweater too. It's starting to rip apart though. 😥
This is my first time to your channel and I loved your reaction, so I subbed for more! I totally understand the feeling when something is off or women’s intuition. However in Jenny’s case I feel like she felt something much deeper because her twin was the one who was around the corner.
Oooof! That makes sense! I didn't catch that on my first view (which was my reaction). But after looking at the comments and watching it again - I caught that. I love that added value to that feeling! Also - so sorry you felt that. I hate that feeling.
And thank you for coming in to the channel! Welcome!
He likes watching reaction videos, I hope he gets the chance to see this one.
I hope he does... Maybe one day. I hope he sees that he had an impact on a girl named Roni. And that he inspired me to push myself beyond my limits and imagination.
Glad you recovered Roni, they are hard hitting stories and heart breaking. Ren is an amazing performer and artist, a star has been born.
Thank you. Definitely hard hitting.
Thank you so much. There is so much! For arts sake, do Crutch fearuring Bibi. A tru Gem done in 2015 after a serious health breakdown . And then do last week's release. For Joe.
I saw that "For Joe" just came out! I listened to Frackled Angeles this week and... oh man... the tears would not stop. I definitely want to see "For Joe", but need a little recuperate time. Freckled Angeles really did a number on me. 🩷😭
Ok so I’m enamored with this guy!!! His playing is amazing but his words!!!, he makes you feel something. Very special artist.
Right?!?!? He just hits. Every single time.
He has to be the most creative artist we’ve had (at least that has been known) in decades if not longer. Just the concept for this song alone. Who else has done something like this in this way that it comes across like a movie or theatre? Tying everything together at the end with Jenny and Screech being twins separated at birth because their mother died due to violence, just for them to both die of violence and one at the hand of the other. Crazy creativity.
Totally agree with you. He is so creative and his lyrics are powerful. I was blown away from this.
Love your reactions. Your expressions are like a window to how you are feeling. Love it. Thank you for continuing to do Ren reactions. Love that man.
Thank you! And yes Ren deserves all the love. Such an inspiration.
I love your reactions, very heartfelt and quick on the uptake, the music and art appreciation you show.
Some seem to miss the import of certain phrases, or the penny doesn't drop with the twist at the end, some reactors expressions are dramatic as the words hit, so I'm am never sure if everyone gets some bits.
Like in 'Hi Ren' near the end where he says 'Some people know me as Hope... Some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope...'
That second line hit some hard, as it does me, because that is how a friend of mine took his life only days after a long online chat with me, it was his dad who found him. I had messaged mutual friends that I was worried, people who were nearer him (he was in the UK), so that is also why the end of 'Suic*de' hits hard, the sense you were late, you could have done more.
In 'The Tales,' I think some miss this part:
'every night he tuck her tight but never left the room...'
'I'll spare you with the things he did, I'm sure her mother knew...'
'moved out at 16, a semi-detached council flat provided by a welfare scheme...'
The only girl who would get a council flat like that in the UK would be pregnant... she was likely pregnant by her father. Multigenerational trauma and abuse. Perhaps part of 'Stevie's' anger and calling her a liar?
These videos were actually made a year apart. The basis of the idea came from a newspaper article about two youths who lost their lives, first a young prostitute in Paddington who was killed during a mugging, then the young offender who killed her shot dead by responding officer.
There is a line that was a quote from the article where the commanding officer said 'they were so young, it's such a shame.' So Ren uses it, 'It's such a shame.'
Originally it was just the two videos, but the third part was created to bring them back together as a way to understand the origins of the characters, the generational abuse, neglect, and trauma that led to their lives, a repeat of their parents, and the resulting continuing tragedy. Shakespearean indeed.
Very theatrical, and very gut wrenching. Some of the things I missed on the first watch (and sometimes even on the second), other things I caught. I love what he makes and how he makes it. He puts so much of himself in his art. Just like artists are supposed to do.
I try to do the same.
And it's not easy, so my appreciation for him is immense.
he released another video a few days ago for his friend that killed himself years ago worth a look hit you right in the feels
I watched it. LOVED how he connected Freckled Angels to it.
@ronireacts_to_all hi rwn only popped up on my feed while watching luke kelly I have been down the ren rabbit hole the last few days
The whole trilogy is so moving full of twists & turns !! Ren is an amazing Actor! Brilliant song writer' guitarist' producer' poet' wordsmith'& so much more besides :-):-):-)
RIGHT?!?!? Blew my mind.
I have watched this video many, many times both on Ren's own channel and on lots of reaction channels. I still feel the bullets hit my chest.
Such a genius moment in this video.
You are so amazing! Grate aura of positive energy
Wow! Thank you! 🙏💜🫂🤗
What an honest beautiful reaction Roni. Great job. To have something effect you so deeply is a wonderful thing to be able to behold and experience. Thanks for letting us into your world . Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I'm trying to keep it honest. No masks, no over the top. Just me and how it makes me feel.
Fantastic reaction!
🙏🙏🙏
REN is absolutely incredible. That is all. Nice reaction on your part 🖤
He really is. And thank you! 💜🎸
Chalk Outlines.. Live version
He sings with an artist named Chinchilla..
Beautiful and haunting.
YES!!!!!I just watched it! (will edit as soon as I can and upload) What a ride!!!!
@ronireacts_to_all remember that Ren waives all copyright too.
So you can react without worry.
@@leebex100 He is awesome is so many ways.
Wonderful reaction - showing both the wonder and appreciation for Ren's Magic and the emotion that comes with listening to this dark storyline. Greetings from another Ronnie
Oh yay! Hi Ronnie! Thank you for your lovely comment!
Ready and waiting my friend this will be great love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍 love ren 😃
Thank you!!! 🙏 💜
I so enjoyed your reaction both during and after the video, it truly is an amazing story and you are right, he really pulls us into the streets as he tells it.
First of all thank you!
Secondly - I really felt like I was there. He is really talented.
U may really like his singing in "I shot the sheriff road to Zion" by the big push.
Make sure it's the video of him wearing red suspenders! It's far better than the other older one with more views.
Suspenders! Got it! Thank you!
OK you already reacted to this lol, I just found this
Ha! Beat you to it!
Haunting start!😂😢😊
🙏
Roni, you have a fan!
😍🙏🤪🥹
Edit: Can I be YOUR fan as well?
This is rough, it's hard going. But, Ren is providing us with a safe space to understand a little more and hopefully discuss these issues in a place away from the usual 'hyper-polarised' societies that we increasingly find ourselves in, where who says something is more important than what is being said. 'He/she said it, they are over there, who cares what they have to say.'
In these spaces that are being created, such as your own here, regardless of our affiliations we can be charitable and kind to each other and try to help each other grow.
Massive hug to anyone who might be in need of one. big kiss and just remember that Ren has a lot of light hearted stuff. too. x
Love you comment and thank you! I love how Ren addresses these things. Especially HOW he addresses it. What a talent.
❤ nice reaction. 🍁
Thank you!
its a trickle of adrenaline that runs down ones spine when you are alerted but cant tell why it could be a faint scent , a distant echo ... anything .. but not enough to point to it as soldier on patrol . or a woman alone . you are primed to pay attention .. but if you cant identify the threat this is all you get.... your Mind IS NOT playing tricks on you ,,, you just cant consciously perceive everything your senses detect
I know that feeling so well, it's almost like a "Spidey sense". And yes I'm a nerd.
My Nf friend! Hello again ms. Roni, so great reaction ma’am! I can easily see you becoming immersed from start to finish in this video, your emotions overflowing and ceasing you’re body language to a perfect still. Which only conveys to me what I already knew, you feel the art through your bones. As tough as it was to sit through the video I give this man his praise , with each verse of each song he’s making it a point to say that you may not be familiar or relate to this scenario but you’re going to hear about this way of life in the first two songs and if you still can’t see what I’m projecting Then my third song will slap you in the face with a shovel and then you’ll open your eyes. Well at least that’s my interpretation and why I love music as well because it means something different to all of us! Again amazing reaction and I’ll see you next video ma’am!!
Thank you so much! Oh man, I really appreciate your comment! Hope you are doing well!
You seemed to exercise emotional restraint through most of the video, which (for me) made it very satisfying when you expressed your feelings so powerfully in your summary. Thank you for all the impressions, information, and other details you shared, Roni.
Thank you so much Jo! I really appreciate that you watched it! I love how he tells stories through music and just swoops us away in to his world!
@@ronireacts_to_all Yes he does!
Amazing reaction! Really appreciate you checking Ren out!
First of all thank Ren! For being such an incredible artist, and thank you! For coming over! Appreciate you!
Good reaction. Thank you. However, did you miss the fact that Violet was the mother of both Jenny and Screech? Not everyone notices it. I didn't at first. Ren re-winded to 2005 for a good reason.
You know? I TOTALLY missed it! It makes even more sense now! Wow!!! Thanks for pointing it out!
@@ronireacts_to_all thought you missed it, Screech and Jenny were brother and sister, but didn't know it. Grew up apart no doubt.
It never ceases to amaze me how we get so emotionally involved with fictious characters, in various mediums.
Part of me thinks it's good to feel, but part of me thinks, getting upset (or whatever) over something that isn't real is a bit odd.
@seth1455 Well I feel like it is real. Somewhere in the world it happened, and still happening. Names are different, countries are different, but nevertheless - it happens. For me it was real. But I also cried in "The Lion King" so... 😁🤷🏻♀️
@@ronireacts_to_all There is an ancient philosophical tradition which says that anything we can think about is just as real as something we can see or touch. Quite independently Jesus taught the same thing in relation to the concept of sin: thinking about it makes us as sinful as doing it.
Putting sin aside, Gandalf, James Bond, Spiderman and even Jesus are considered fictitious by some but I say everything is real and magic is real but it is sometimes real in unexpected ways. I have so much more to say... Ren is so inspiring.
Jenny had her mother's stillness in the face of violence. Screech had his father's violence etched into him. I do not forgive him and I do not fault her... but Violet... I cried for her.
His playing and singing imperfections used to bug me at first... now... it shows me just how Genious he is!!!!
Imperfect perfection!!!
So gonna get a shirt made with that on it!
Ha! He is perfectly imperfect. Just like us.
The one thing I think some people may miss or not realize is that the policeman who shot Screech is also a victim in some ways however
he survives the encounter only to now have to deal with the effects of shooting someone.
Interesting. Your comment reminds me of a short film I saw about this.
I'd love to see your reaction to some of Ren's work when he was sick & didn't yet know he was misdiagnosed, to see that as a series of songs you cover.
Can I suggest Depression, Insomnia, Crutch, Diazepam, Dear God, Patience, Heretic, Ready for you & Dominoes as a series of Ren songs... I know it's a lot, but that order makes the most sense to me.
Great stuff, new subscriber
Thanks for the suggestions (and sub!) I wrote those all down! Might take me some time to get to them, but I'll do my best!
Welcome to the Rabbit hole miss 🥰
Haha! Loving it!
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. Love your reaction. So much more to see. The man is pure genius. It will be interesting to see what you think about the Money Game. You also need to look at the busking days of the Big Push, in Brighton UK and some rare delights with Liv, outside the upside down house at sunset.
Peter! Thanks for coming in the comment section! I have a lot of Ren and The Big Push videos in here. I absolutely love them! 🎸🎶🙏
It wasn't obvious if you realized Jenny & Screech were twins that never knew each other.
I missed it on a first watch. But then I read the comments and watched it again.
I so enjoyed watching your reaction and hearing your impressions! Wonderfully done.
On a side note: I have only heard 1 person in my life pronounce guitar the way you do. That person was my mother, who passed many years ago... it brought cheerful tears of rememberance to my eyes. Thank you.😊
OMG Debra! I'll say guitar 20 times in a row for you if you wish!
I do have an accent and I am so happy it reminded you of your mama. Hugz!
@@ronireacts_to_all Thank you! A very generous offer. But I'm good. It was just such a delightful surprise, that suddenly it felt as if she was here.
Love the reaction you need to delve into frekaled angle album. And the big push
Fire and pockets full of pain, those two ren tracks helped save me. Youll see how.
Oh, I loved Freckled Angels! Broke me down. And obsessed with The Big Push! They are such a feel-good fun group! I hope they get back to perform..
Before the end of the day, or better yet at the beginning of tomorrow's day...
Watch Rens "Power" video!
Great way to start the day! Or at the gym, or driving down the road! Or cleaning the house... etc!
As is Ready for you! Heard that the first time this morning... it's been playing on repeat for hours!
Love his musical abilities! He's NOT just a GCD artist, his musical abilities are Far Above most people's abilities!
Says a Hard Rock guitarist who has been playing a LONG Time!!!
I love that!
Hmm... Should I... Should I react to this song while running? Or will I get a heart attack? 😅⚡🥊
@@ronireacts_to_all lol... he's fully clothed... I think you'll be fine! Lol

Time for a happy video ❤
Yes! There are a lot to choose from!

The Man can literally tell a tale by the particular Notes he chooses alone! Including the lack of notes, efficiency and emotional tonality combined at its best! Much More than the basic major minor happiness foreboding thing!
Musically he truly is Brilliant!
Really is!
Thank you for the wonderful reaction!
Thank you for watching!
Every single song this man produces rips me to pieces.
Oof!! Yes! Have you heard him play with The Big Push though?
Made me feel amazing!
@@ronireacts_to_all yes and it’s equally fantastic. What a mesh up! I don’t understand this guy. As a musician/writer myself I just want to quit after listening to this man. It’s inspiring for sure but damn, who can beat that?
Peace and Love to you and yours Bae. Honestly 💜.... Seen this maybe 40x now and it still hits for the right reasons. New to your channel. Instant sub. Look forward to going back through your vids. Peace and Love darlin'. Make sure you watch his busking he alone, he w the Big Push, he w Chinchilla... this man has talent that is generational.

Oh thank you so much! Really appreciate you coming over and subbing! Also - please don't feel bad about spelling! I'm not great at it either! lol! And yes I have his busking performances listed on my list! Thank you for the suggestions!
For me, as a 90's kid, it is long overdue for us to have something that means something. It's dark, it's painful, but it's real. I've spent 20 plus years waiting for this feeling again. Not for the feeling of darkness, just for a feeling. He has some glorious, light-heated songs that deserve recognition as well. But, let us all take a step back. Music finally, hits us again! Music should be about our story. Bad, or good, is it honest? It's not, generally! Now, it's in your face! I couldn't give a shit whether you agree or not. I'll wake up tomorrow knowing I'm being the guy that cares.
I'm here for it! Music in my face (or ears)! Keep being the guy who cares. I'll be the girl who feels.
@@ronireacts_to_all Nicely said. And just for the record, please know that the line " I couldn't give a shit whether you agree or not" was obviously not personal. It was directed at the people who live in the :shallow waters of music. Which, definitely, is not where you come from. Much love and look forward to looking into more of your stuff.
@@jodypowell7052 Oh! I didn't take it that way! But thank you for clarifying!
You have never heard Ren sing, watch "Chalk Outlines" by Ren and Chinchilla to watch Ren sing. (Remember Chinchilla's first Verse it's the key to the song).
Thanks for the heads up for the first verse! I'll try to keep it in mind! Thank you!
@@ronireacts_to_all I think you will enjoy it greatly.
@@sketchtherapy1218 I sure did LOVE IT! Thank you!
this thing blew my mind the first time. it was like a homer tragedy for me. no one write tragedy like this anymore. and the message of domestic violence. if we could all realize we are brothers and sisters maybe we could stop this bs.
If we could only replace anger and frustration with love and compassion. Just understanding that what you think may not be what I think (and be OK with it) and what I do affects you, and vice versa, so I could change my ways a bit, and you could change your perception of it a bit. Meet in the middle. Balance. Hmm... I'd like that.
Never ignore or override a gut feeling. Get out of the situation immediately.
Ooof. I had to learn that. Life lessons. Now, every time my senses tingle, I stay on hyper alert and try to get away from that area/situation/person asap.
