Stages of watching Hi Ren: This looks creepy Guitar sounds nice Oh he’s singing Will the whole song be like this? Here’s the beat Ok he’s rapping now This guy is scary Now he seems nice Oh I see what he’s doing This is interesting This is intense The mean guy is a jerk This is INTENSE Make it stop I haven’t blinked or taken a breath in 2 minutes Go Ren! YES! OOO-OO-OO-OO-OO-.. I need some time to be still…
Only Ren can make a guy with ADHD sit still to listen 😆. You can’t go wrong with ANY of his tracks and they’re all so different from each other. So very talented and versatile!
I think because he made it so visual (from the dialogue) and even just theblughts flickering was enough to keep focussed. Also no real heavy beat or sudden bar intensity so no changes that make the brain react. Just story telling bars that felt movie like.
Ren's song....THE TALE OF JENNY AND SCREECH....THE FULL VERSION! THREE VIDEOS TELLING THE STORY, AND ITS ALL DONE LIVE! This man is genius! Prayers to Ren that he recovers soon!
Totally absolutely fucking-100% agree!!!! I am even dropping the link here - th-cam.com/video/TYAnqQ--KX0/w-d-xo.html 😱🔥🔥It is harrowing and disturbing and GENIUS!!!!!
LISTEN. How dare you go and hide from me for so long. I watch a TON of reaction channels and I'm just barely finding the one I resonate with the most!? F*** off bruh. Love ya dude, keep doing what you do, its amazing ❤
For months people been telling me to check out ren bro i only gave in a week ago and im hooked now....i even donated some money to him on his gofundme to help with his life saving treatment because he is fuckin special man....i havnt heard somebody this talented for a long time man
@@brainsqueezereactions his live stuff does that, it sucks you in. His way of story telling puts you there in the room where it’s happening. Should you want to react to more Ren then you can’t go wrong with the trilogy tales (Jenny, Screech and violet in that order). Totally gripping performances and dark subject matter. There is a video that combines all 3 running 13 mins in total, so if you thought 9 mins was long, buckle up. It goes by in a flash btw with a real sting in the tail of these tales
Ren calls this style Bardcore (it's a real thing). He has others in this style but also has true rock (a lot of covers but some originals) and some rap rap (remixes and originals). He is a busker. He's done it alone, with friends and with his band The Big Push.
I just watched this 12/13/23. Seeing you be totally into listening and calming your adhd was amazing. Keep reacting to videos Brother. The world needs your perspective and your love.
Ren is one of the most important artists out of the UK in years. Affected by Lymes disease, he was misdiagnosed and put on drugs that really screwed him up. He lost so many of his teenage years, suffering disabling pain, so he spent years in bed, playing and writing. Thankfully, he's on the road to recovery. He is a fantastic story teller, singer, actor, artist. He has done a brilliant interpretation of Beastie Boys (What you want), Soul stuff (Ocean ft Eden Nash), and an absolute MUST is the Tale of Jenny and Screech, which must be watched in full, starting with Jenny, then Screech then Violet. Trust me, Hector!
Yes Jordan Complete ...as soon as I heard this I thought of that one. So similar yet so different. I had to do some research on this kid and found out he was very very ill from the time he was like 19 to a point where he couldn't even leave his bed as his pain was debilitating. He went from Dr to Dr seeking help with no improvement, only worse which then left him in a state of mental psychosis as he was left in constant crippling pain. Close to 10 years later he was finally diagnosed properly with Lyme's disease. The years of being misdiagnosed left him with irreversible damage to his immune system. I mean this kid has been through hell and the only thing he said that kept him going was his love for music. He's in Canada now getting some special treatments to hopefully help build his immune system back up. I believe at some point he couldn't even walk. My partner used to be a caregiver for a guy who was misdiagnosed with Lyme's disease. It does so much damage to the body 😭 So glad you finally got around to this. Absolutely brilliant. I haven't heard anything else of his except Sick Boi. You'd like that one as well.
Some fellow Renegades I know have recommended your reactions and I’m starting from the beginning. Hi Ren reactions are so good to watch, an opportunity to relive the experiences I had watching Hi Ren for the first time through another’s eyes. You’re so right, this track speaks for itself. Subbed. 🔥
I have watched about 35 different reactions to Hi Ren and you are one of the few who grooves out on his humming in the beginning and not freaked out by it! Many just stop the video and have a confused look on their face. I knew you'd get it! I love this effing channel ❤
I KNEW you'd like this one! 😁😎 His WHOLE catalog is CRAZY good! 🤷♀️😏✌️❤️🔥🎶💯 He's in Canada now for treatment for Lyme disease. 🙏💐 SO while this man is going thru this, he chooses to STILL entertain us! WHAT A GUY! 👏👏👏🤷♀️🙏 he JUST released Bitter Sweet Symphony cover that is 🔥🔥🔥
I donated a few bucks to his gofundme page to go towards his treatment...i only gave in to my homies about a week ago and checked ren out but im allready hooked and he is a special 1 that needs all the support he can get
@Matthew Day Word. If someone had told me a few weeks ago that I would be donating to the gfm for a musician from the UK I would have told them their brain has fallen out because I dont donate money to people, only dogs. But if they had said "You're gonna come across an incredible song that describes how you feel everyday and it's going to help you get past some of this and then you're going to fall madly in love with many more of the artists works and when he asks for help so he can get better you will help because this man and his music could change music altogether and start bringing people past the bs we've all been buried under" Now that I might have believed......
@@mistyramsey1840 i never donated money to anybody in my life its not because i dont give a shit about the cause its just because i have never been convinced that the money will reach the people its supposed to be for...i heard hi ren that shit blew my mind then i see the video he put up with him at his worst spilling his heart out then i noticed the link to his gofundme and i just felt like i had to help him out....he is like a modern day bard from the middle ages he is defo a special 1 that we need to save and protect people like that dont come around very often and the fact he does that with the illness he has just makes it even more incredible
@@mistyramsey1840 hi ren is exactly how i feel wen it comes to my music...i uploaded my album just over a week ago now and it has 0 views and i allways go through my pissed of phases and my chilled out phases for the most part i just love music and it is just therapeutic to me and i really dont care who finds my music and hears it or not...but then sometimes il go through a phase where i cant be bothered to write any music because i dont see the point in taking time away from ny wife and kids to put effort into something that wont be heard and il go months without writing new matieral
@Matthew Day I feel that way about things I try to create or even to some extent about anything I want to do- will the time I spend produce something that will be worth it, even it's just a memory or time spent happy. It's why I don't draw anymore or game, too much time on things that don't really benefit me. But expressing yourself is important and every so often I can take time to make things as long as I just make them for myself. There's no pressure so I just go at it. If someone likes it, maybe it becomes more but the fastest way to kill motivation is doubt about how others will view what you've done so just factor them out 🤟
I just want to tip my hat to you sir! I've enjoyed the lyrical breakdowns of this song but you are the first I've seen that reacted this way. I agree with you people need to just listen and sit with it. Keep doin you and much love from TX!
Finally. Ngl I’ve avoided commenting suggesting this one because you was definitely going to get enough but also that you’d started quite a few new rabbit holes and once you start this one there’s no going back. Going to watch now but I already know how you’ll react. All love my bro. Fuck the haters.
Finally a reaction that respects this most powerful masterpiece the way it best should be: a person needs to just experience it, and then be still and sit with it. Liked, commented, subscribed. Looking forward to running in your rabbit hole.
@@brainsqueezereactions not an iota. But did I miss your reactions on the rest of the Ren catalogue? People commented with a plethora of suggestions, I subscribe to all of them, however you might particularly enjoy Animal Flow (both studio and acoustic). Am I blind, Hector?
It scared me at the beginning, but at the end I cried my eyes!!!!!!!!!!!! He's amazing, incredible, perfect, Unmatched!!! 🔥🔥🔥 I love every second of it ❤️❤️💯
Thank you for doing this song💜💜💜 Wusah, it's totally worth it. The penny has dropped! Exactly! #fate I appreciate that you heard it. You're always amazing Hector 💜💜💜
15:00 (Where you do some explaining) PERFECT AWESOME decision in my opinion. You are SO RIGHT! It's funny, you are my favorite reactor (certainly top ten) and I can't believe that I have finally been down the Ren rabbit hole for a few days now; and JUST NOW getting to enjoy your reaction on Ren! What a nice surprise! Keep it up, Hector, and THANKS! 🙂❤
Thank you so much for taking the route you did. I was wondering how you would react to this. I agree with you 100. It just needs to be heard. Great reaction.
Wow. This was my first time hearing Hi Ren too. I almost forgot to breath😅 I'm here for it. I found you through Tom Macky D, been catching up on your NF reactions an now I have to follow you for more Hi Ren🤯 I'm excited!!!!
I clicked on this the second I saw it immediately hyped but also instantly panicked at seeing the time stamp knowing how this one hit me the first time ... not that it ever seems to lose its impact Here for it and you ♥️
This reaction is 6 months old, so I hope you see my comment. Just before watching this, I watched your Valhalla calling reaction from VoicePlay. Loved it. So, I went to your page to see if you had seen Hi Ren. I immediately clicked onto this. I was not disappointed. You were obviously mesmerized and "sucked into" Ren's world. You closing monologue was exceptional. I've watched a hundred (no lie) reactions to this, and yours was easily top 5. I LOVED how you said that you were giving it the respect it deserved... just to be heard. Amazing. I'll be keeping my eye out for your reactions, and sometimes looking at your past stuff. You are unique... AND gifted!!
Great reaction! I love how you changed your mind about dissecting the lyrics. I found Ren on Saturday and spent 2 days watching #HiRen reactions, and then you popped up in my #TomMacDonald reactions feed, and here I am and here I'll stay. What's funny is that only one reactor, so far, has made the comparison of #HiRen to Tom's "Best Rapper Ever". #HOG
Awesome and interesting! This is my first time listening to this artist, too, and all I can say is that it’s a very great performance from him, like he’s telling his own story so expressively. Thanks so much for sharing your reaction and lyrics dissection and it’s a like and thumbs up.😄👍#ren
ADHD here, too! I always joke that if I weren't a writer, I'd be a serial killer. I love your reactions. So much energy and life and insight. Love it! I have learned a rather important and amusing tell you have. The more often you say on conjugate 'f*ck" the more you love the music.
Just rewatched this reaction after your recent couple of RENaction videos to try and find out what took you so long to get back to the rabbit hole. This didn’t clear it up since you obviously liked this song too 😅 Well glad you are 100% committed to the deep dive now anyway. Looking forward to witnessing your brain being repeatedly blown 😂
So funny to see this reaction after your other Ren reactions. You were so quiet. I liked your expression when you heard my favoreite part, "Some people know me as "hope" / Some people know me as the voice that you hear / When you loosen the noose on the rope." Reminds you that rap is about Rhythm And Poetry. 😊
Ok, let's address the elephant in the room... he talks to himself and self-reflects just like NF does. Of course, two VERY different styles though. I've heard this and The Tale of Jenny and Screech. That one made me very emotional. This Ren guy is growing on me. He is special in a different way. Just like NF.
@@brainsqueezereactions I know right. I've listened to it over 50 times this week. It's still hits exactly the same as if I was listening to it for the first time
Thanks for a unique reaction - the beginning made me laugh and you now know that Ren-World fans are loyal, persistent and passionate. You clearly recognise Ren's creativity, talent and brilliance. You probably already know that Ren too has ADHD. I have been watching Ren performing live for seven years and it is great that he is finally going global. Another great thing about his music is that it is encouraging other people to discuss and share their own mental health issues. The stigma is melting, slowly but surely. If you want to watch something hauntingly beautiful, check out Chalk Outlines (live). Also, watch some of his busking videos with The Big Push to hear his beautiful singing voice. Enjoy!
How on earth did you manage not to go down the Ren rabbit hole? All of the reactors I've seen have become Ren stans and reacting to all of his content. He is amazing, I think you'll really enjoy his rap tracks. I would love to see your mind explode listening to him go off, lol.
@@brainsqueezereactions lol, it's very entertaining to watch you react to rap. I found you by way of your Hit Em Up reaction. The sheer glee I experienced by witnessing your glee was immaculate! When you feel like getting your entire life, you might want to check out The Hunger or Illest of Our Time. His bars have bars and those bars have more bars. I went from not knowing who he was to outright fangirl in a day.
I’ve been waiting for so long for this and you did not disappoint. While I am disappointed that we didn’t get to see you go back and I dissect it I do understand your reasoning not to. Great reaction as always I hope you do more of his stuff.
Great reaction. I think you would like "Money Game, part 2" by Ren. (There is a "part 1" but it is quite different and much darker than "part 2". They are related but different songs.) It has amazing bars and is a very astute social commentary. Kudos to you for this reaction.
Ren may have brought me here, but you had me liking and subscribing within your first two minutes. Excellent. Edit: and yes, absolutely "Jordan" by Complete. I think it must've been an influence as the similarities are too many to ignore. Having said that, the differences are even more.
This Song from Ren made me cry so hard because iam Mentaly Ill too.. I have 2 Peronalities myself (multiple personality disorder (MPD)) and i know how hard it is.
I have just found you and this is my first look and I am already hooked! You are so engaging and quirky! Subbed and can’t wait to binge your channel. It is amazing to me that I still get goosebumps when Ren starts singing🤗❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Can't believe i missed this!! Like i said in you DM. Hope you will do more Ren on the channel. All his songs are great. He is an amazing artist. So creative.
I don't think I've ever seen you listen and absorb so intensely as you did at the end when he was talking. Your eyes spoke for your silence. Freaking love this!!
I'm so happy that Ren, specifically, led me to your channel. As someone with ADHD i wasnt sure how well I'd handle someone else's ADHD thought processes, but i was right there with you the whole time and i subbed and will spend the rest of my weekend going through your Ren stuff and seeing what other journeys i can join you on. Well done, sir. Really loved this.
Bro I watch all your reactions and this is one that I've never seen ya so "into" the music ,so many reactors laugh and kidd on this serious shit that so many struggle with and your reaction through the song was entertaining if that makes sense.......#brainsqueeze🐐
@@brainsqueezereactions The trilogy is Jenny's tale, Screech's Tale, and Violets tale. Ren made a compilation that includes all three called The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full).
"That doesn't need to be dissected it just needs to be heard" Well said. I figured that you weren't dissecting it when I realized how long your video was. And I was wondering at which point you were going to realize that the message is so powerful that you would have to be dead inside, not to feel it. You are 100% my favorite reactor right now. Hands down, no questions asked and I follow a shit ton of reactors. I feel so blessed that I found your channel this morning.
Been really waiting for you to do this! Disappointed you didn't go through the bars, but I understand why! And actually a lot of reactors do that. Cause it says it all itself! Many have mentioned the triology, it too, will amaze you. It's songs, a theatrical performance, and a tragedy all in one
Yeah obviously intention was there from the start as always...but I dont think it was needed on a first run through as its alot to take in and digest and wasnt actually "bar heavy" but more a story of his life so felt it was just not needed to dissect as they were pretty much there in the open, if that makes any sense???
Ren is the most talented ive ever seen and his mind is somewhat different i follow every word i feel all emotions and your reaction 😊 you get it keep doing what you do Ive liked subscribed and now im stalking 😂 have you reacted to luke combs ?
I was about to do a joke about the song and ADHD, it's a good thing I waited till the end. Mad props to you, mad respect for your reaction. You don't know how much of a gem you have there, right in your own backyard. Even going down the hole 7 years past, he was already was making beautiful music, and he rap-raps too.. He is a genre bender. The best I've ever heard.. Leave it to the UK to come up with the best Music artists, and pioneers.. From The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Clash, Queen, The Police and now - Ren. Thanks for showing some love for my homie Ez Mil, I can't wait for you to show some for your homie. Stay wild! Cheers mate! 👊✌
I still love the fact that that most of the first part of the song he is battling with himself and its all consuming, he is not making eye contact with us at all, then after the take over and then the return (acceptance), he finally looks up at us and invite us in so we can be part of the song!!!! He is fucking incredible and I'm sure every little thing was planned by him and everything thing was for a reason!!! I must have seen this over 250+ times now and I know that's fucking insane but I'm not done yet it seems and I think I will never be! ❤❤
I have fallen into the REN rabbit hole since I first saw, Hi Ren. The genius of his body of work is mind-blowing to say the least. Like he said in, Hi Ren, he really is a genius. Having the No. 1 album in the UK speaks for itself. Hope to see some more REN reactions from u in the near future. Really enjoy your channel. You rock, Hector! Keep up the good work!
Bro... Buckle up!!! Ren has more layers than an onion! More Bars than a prison! Think if Eminem, Shakespeare, Bob Marley, and Jimi Hendrix had a Baby... That's Ren!!! Suggest Hunger, Losing it, Illest of our Time, Chaulk Outlines, Crutch, Life Is Funny, Hold On, Love Story pt3, Crucify your Culture, Bittersweet Symphony, What you Want and Fire, etc.... (Cannot find a bad track! Very few are the same style/genre!) Of Course... Jenny and Screech Tales (Full version!) Are a Must!!! He's the Tom Macky D of Britain!!!
Stages of watching Hi Ren:
This looks creepy
Guitar sounds nice
Oh he’s singing
Will the whole song be like this?
Here’s the beat
Ok he’s rapping now
This guy is scary
Now he seems nice
Oh I see what he’s doing
This is interesting
This is intense
The mean guy is a jerk
This is INTENSE
Make it stop
I haven’t blinked or taken a breath in 2 minutes
Go Ren!
YES!
OOO-OO-OO-OO-OO-..
I need some time to be still…
😂 Nailed it 👊
This!!!
Can I copy this please?
@@lillyvanpug Sure!
@@jbledsoe7555 I credit you of course
Only Ren can make a guy with ADHD sit still to listen 😆. You can’t go wrong with ANY of his tracks and they’re all so different from each other. So very talented and versatile!
I was going to comment something similar. I have adhd and my mind usually wanders like crazy. Ren actually keeps my attention the entire time! 😊
Ren's a fellow ADHDer, so he knows how to hold our interest.
Very true! 😄
I think because he made it so visual (from the dialogue) and even just theblughts flickering was enough to keep focussed. Also no real heavy beat or sudden bar intensity so no changes that make the brain react. Just story telling bars that felt movie like.
And I didn't think that was possible...LOL....PEACE OUT..."70"
Ren's song....THE TALE OF JENNY AND SCREECH....THE FULL VERSION! THREE VIDEOS TELLING THE STORY, AND ITS ALL DONE LIVE! This man is genius! Prayers to Ren that he recovers soon!
YES!
For sure.
Yes, but you have to do all three at one time!
This is the next way to go for sure ... such an amazing artist!!! Thanks for the reaction !!

Thank you so much for taking the route you did. I was wondering how you would react to this. I agree with you 100. It just needs to be heard. Great reaction.
This is an amazing dramatic piece put to music.
I totally agree, he broke it down enough with that incredible performance.
Wow. This was my first time hearing Hi Ren too. I almost forgot to breath😅 I'm here for it.
I found you through Tom Macky D, been catching up on your NF reactions an now I have to follow you for more Hi Ren🤯 I'm excited!!!!
The howling vocals remind my of a cookoo singing crazy like. 'one flew over the cookoo's nest?' ;)
I clicked on this the second I saw it immediately hyped but also instantly panicked at seeing the time stamp knowing how this one hit me the first time ... not that it ever seems to lose its impact
Here for it and you ♥️
I know right. I'm re re re watching thought I'd say hi W4ll ❤️
This reaction is 6 months old, so I hope you see my comment. Just before watching this, I watched your Valhalla calling reaction from VoicePlay. Loved it. So, I went to your page to see if you had seen Hi Ren. I immediately clicked onto this. I was not disappointed. You were obviously mesmerized and "sucked into" Ren's world. You closing monologue was exceptional. I've watched a hundred (no lie) reactions to this, and yours was easily top 5. I LOVED how you said that you were giving it the respect it deserved... just to be heard. Amazing. I'll be keeping my eye out for your reactions, and sometimes looking at your past stuff. You are unique... AND gifted!!
Yes!!!!!
Great reaction! I love how you changed your mind about dissecting the lyrics.
I found Ren on Saturday and spent 2 days watching #HiRen reactions, and then you popped up in my #TomMacDonald reactions feed, and here I am and here I'll stay.
What's funny is that only one reactor, so far, has made the comparison of #HiRen to Tom's "Best Rapper Ever".
#HOG
Which one?
@@gregory6592 I wish I remembered!!
Awesome and interesting! This is my first time listening to this artist, too, and all I can say is that it’s a very great performance from him, like he’s telling his own story so expressively. Thanks so much for sharing your reaction and lyrics dissection and it’s a like and thumbs up.😄👍#ren
First time hearing this song to your reaction. Mind blown and his tune in the beginning is beautiful! Just wow.
ADHD here, too! I always joke that if I weren't a writer, I'd be a serial killer. I love your reactions. So much energy and life and insight. Love it! I have learned a rather important and amusing tell you have. The more often you say on conjugate 'f*ck" the more you love the music.
Just rewatched this reaction after your recent couple of RENaction videos to try and find out what took you so long to get back to the rabbit hole. This didn’t clear it up since you obviously liked this song too 😅 Well glad you are 100% committed to the deep dive now anyway. Looking forward to witnessing your brain being repeatedly blown 😂
So funny to see this reaction after your other Ren reactions. You were so quiet. I liked your expression when you heard my favoreite part, "Some people know me as "hope" / Some people know me as the voice that you hear / When you loosen the noose on the rope." Reminds you that rap is about Rhythm And Poetry. 😊
Ok, let's address the elephant in the room... he talks to himself and self-reflects just like NF does. Of course, two VERY different styles though. I've heard this and The Tale of Jenny and Screech. That one made me very emotional. This Ren guy is growing on me. He is special in a different way. Just like NF.
8:22 that's him mocking his own "Money Game Pt.2", another great #Ren song, btw.
Mark’s reaction: 🤯
That’s pretty much all it needs. If you listen, you’ll get it. It’s brilliant.
Thanks for bowing to peer pressure.
yes yes the best of the best
I don't think I've ever seen you so quiet. I love this song.🎉💞
Yeah it was quite intense story and i didnt want to miss a single part, felt movie like.
@@brainsqueezereactions I know right. I've listened to it over 50 times this week. It's still hits exactly the same as if I was listening to it for the first time
I’ve literally been waiting weeks for this video
Me too!!
Thanks for a unique reaction - the beginning made me laugh and you now know that Ren-World fans are loyal, persistent and passionate.
You clearly recognise Ren's creativity, talent and brilliance. You probably already know that Ren too has ADHD.
I have been watching Ren performing live for seven years and it is great that he is finally going global.
Another great thing about his music is that it is encouraging other people to discuss and share their own mental health issues. The stigma is melting, slowly but surely.
If you want to watch something hauntingly beautiful, check out Chalk Outlines (live). Also, watch some of his busking videos with The Big Push to hear his beautiful singing voice.
Enjoy!
It just needs to be heard! Couldn't agree more Hector! Great reaction! Jenny and Screech!!!
Love, love love your reaction. Thank you. Enough said.
How on earth did you manage not to go down the Ren rabbit hole? All of the reactors I've seen have become Ren stans and reacting to all of his content. He is amazing, I think you'll really enjoy his rap tracks. I would love to see your mind explode listening to him go off, lol.
Im an enigma and follow crazy music pathways!
@@brainsqueezereactions lol, it's very entertaining to watch you react to rap. I found you by way of your Hit Em Up reaction. The sheer glee I experienced by witnessing your glee was immaculate!
When you feel like getting your entire life, you might want to check out The Hunger or Illest of Our Time. His bars have bars and those bars have more bars. I went from not knowing who he was to outright fangirl in a day.
Wow, that was cool! It' waa worth the wait! I've seen it everywhere and haven't listened until now.
I can’t WAIT to watch this mind explosion reaction
I know right 😂 me too 😊
I’ve been waiting for so long for this and you did not disappoint. While I am disappointed that we didn’t get to see you go back and I dissect it I do understand your reasoning not to. Great reaction as always I hope you do more of his stuff.
You are f..king awesome, so glad I found your channel. So much energy I love it!
Well....you're f**king awesome too!!!!!
Great reaction. I think you would like "Money Game, part 2" by Ren. (There is a "part 1" but it is quite different and much darker than "part 2". They are related but different songs.) It has amazing bars and is a very astute social commentary. Kudos to you for this reaction.
Ren may have brought me here, but you had me liking and subscribing within your first two minutes. Excellent.
Edit: and yes, absolutely "Jordan" by Complete. I think it must've been an influence as the similarities are too many to ignore. Having said that, the differences are even more.
This has ro be the best reaction to Hi Ren Ive seen ( and I can't help but watch one after.another) You are wonderful. Much love
This Song from Ren made me cry so hard because iam Mentaly Ill too.. I have 2 Peronalities myself (multiple personality disorder (MPD)) and i know how hard it is.
Ren is another of the generational talents from this era along with artists like Chris Stapleton, Gary Clark Jr and Aurora.
The best Hi Ren reaction ever. ❤
I have just found you and this is my first look and I am already hooked! You are so engaging and quirky! Subbed and can’t wait to binge your channel. It is amazing to me that I still get goosebumps when Ren starts singing🤗❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Your mind is going to be blown on every single one of his songs. 😂
Best reaction to this ever. And I’ve seen many. Thank you.❤
Can't believe i missed this!!
Like i said in you DM. Hope you will do more Ren on the channel. All his songs are great. He is an amazing artist. So creative.
That is exactly how I felt. Speechless. I love watching you. You make me love music more. Thank you!
Worth the wait!!! I can’t wait to hear you do THE HUNGER by him!! It’s fantastic really shows how killer he can rap!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
😂, that moment you figure out WTF is going on. Gotta love the facial expression.
Sin duda una de las mejores reacciones que he visto hasta la fecha!!
Really great reaction ❤️ thanks!! More Ren please
Thank you 😊😊😊😊
I don't think I've ever seen you listen and absorb so intensely as you did at the end when he was talking. Your eyes spoke for your silence. Freaking love this!!
I'm so happy that Ren, specifically, led me to your channel. As someone with ADHD i wasnt sure how well I'd handle someone else's ADHD thought processes, but i was right there with you the whole time and i subbed and will spend the rest of my weekend going through your Ren stuff and seeing what other journeys i can join you on. Well done, sir. Really loved this.
I'm so glad you did this one! Saw another reactor do it, and I thought it was very creative
For the respect shown to a brilliant track......Kudos! I absolutely loved this reaction 😊
Good luck with his whole back catalogue this guy is awesome 👌 👏
Check out more ren! He has so many different kinds, and theyre all amazing!
SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE!!!!!!
Bro I watch all your reactions and this is one that I've never seen ya so "into" the music ,so many reactors laugh and kidd on this serious shit that so many struggle with and your reaction through the song was entertaining if that makes sense.......#brainsqueeze🐐
Yessssss!!!! I’ve been waiting for you to do this one! I can’t wait to see you do the trilogy
Theres a trilogy!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
@@brainsqueezereactions The trilogy is Jenny's tale, Screech's Tale, and Violets tale. Ren made a compilation that includes all three called The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full).
If just the idea of a trilogy blows your mind, you’ll need to wear a helmet when you actually watch it. Don’t say you weren’t warned. 😉👍
"That doesn't need to be dissected it just needs to be heard"
Well said. I figured that you weren't dissecting it when I realized how long your video was. And I was wondering at which point you were going to realize that the message is so powerful that you would have to be dead inside, not to feel it. You are 100% my favorite reactor right now. Hands down, no questions asked and I follow a shit ton of reactors. I feel so blessed that I found your channel this morning.
You are amazing!!!!
Been really waiting for you to do this!
Disappointed you didn't go through the bars, but I understand why! And actually a lot of reactors do that. Cause it says it all itself!
Many have mentioned the triology, it too, will amaze you. It's songs, a theatrical performance, and a tragedy all in one
Yeah obviously intention was there from the start as always...but I dont think it was needed on a first run through as its alot to take in and digest and wasnt actually "bar heavy" but more a story of his life so felt it was just not needed to dissect as they were pretty much there in the open, if that makes any sense???
Ren is the most talented ive ever seen and his mind is somewhat different i follow every word i feel all emotions and your reaction 😊 you get it keep doing what you do Ive liked subscribed and now im stalking 😂 have you reacted to luke combs ?
I was about to do a joke about the song and ADHD, it's a good thing I waited till the end. Mad props to you, mad respect for your reaction.
You don't know how much of a gem you have there, right in your own backyard. Even going down the hole 7 years past, he was already was making beautiful music, and he rap-raps too.. He is a genre bender. The best I've ever heard..
Leave it to the UK to come up with the best Music artists, and pioneers.. From The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Clash, Queen, The Police and now - Ren.
Thanks for showing some love for my homie Ez Mil, I can't wait for you to show some for your homie. Stay wild! Cheers mate! 👊✌
Honestly came to you for the breakdown. But in real time watching this completely agree with how you switched course. Carry on
I still love the fact that that most of the first part of the song he is battling with himself and its all consuming, he is not making eye contact with us at all, then after the take over and then the return (acceptance), he finally looks up at us and invite us in so we can be part of the song!!!! He is fucking incredible and I'm sure every little thing was planned by him and everything thing was for a reason!!! I must have seen this over 250+ times now and I know that's fucking insane but I'm not done yet it seems and I think I will never be! ❤❤
I have fallen into the REN rabbit hole since I first saw, Hi Ren. The genius of his body of work is mind-blowing to say the least. Like he said in, Hi Ren, he really is a genius. Having the No. 1 album in the UK speaks for itself. Hope to see some more REN reactions from u in the near future. Really enjoy your channel. You rock, Hector! Keep up the good work!
About time! So been looking forward to this
You know me, I dont ride the hype train...like to let things settle a bit. Or......I just forgot one of the two 🤣🤣🤣
Great reaction, this needs to be part of every high school curriculum.
Bro... Buckle up!!! Ren has more layers than an onion! More Bars than a prison!
Think if Eminem, Shakespeare, Bob Marley, and Jimi Hendrix had a Baby... That's Ren!!!
Suggest Hunger, Losing it, Illest of our Time, Chaulk Outlines, Crutch, Life Is Funny, Hold On, Love Story pt3, Crucify your Culture, Bittersweet Symphony, What you Want and Fire, etc.... (Cannot find a bad track! Very few are the same style/genre!)
Of Course... Jenny and Screech Tales (Full version!) Are a Must!!!
He's the Tom Macky D of Britain!!!
You just have to listen to the version of “blind eyed” recorded live for the TV company - it is simply stunning!!
WoW Hector! I'm amazed at this reaction. You are a gem of a reactor. This is the most intense reaction to this song.
I’m so glad you reacted to this 😊
That just blew me away!!!
Thank you for sharing your reaction brother xx one love xx
That was one of the most intelligent react out there well done. Loved it man keep up the great work kudos.
