Hey Ren, hope today is a good day. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world just please don't let all of this push the pendulum to far, stay centered, we need your skill and imperfect perfection in this world. Much love friend across the pond.
Also thanks for making me go on a reaction to Hi Ren rabbit hole. Found your song 2 days ago and have been spending almost ally TH-cam time watching reactions to it. I love how they always kinda laugh/wtf when you start singing the ooo part then when you go back to it at the end of the song they jam out to it. Also never seen so many reactors say "I'm speechless" at the end of watching a video then just sit there staring off minds blown by what they just saw.
I’m so unbelievable grateful I found your music a few days ago, you are truly amazing! I have also spent all of my time on TH-cam down a ren rabbit hole and I just can’t get enough!
I've been watching and waiting for REN to become who he is now for many years finally we see the genius he now is. If you watch blind eyed with Sam Tompkings also on TH-cam you know it's coming. Buskers in Brighton in the UK two guys pack the street. I subscribed to you because you have the best and most insightful intellectual view of all of them my name is Markonious. To learn his future watch his passed
This sounds like a conversation between a man of God and the devil. Consider that some of the voices in our head that condemn, criticize and hate us are not ours but from the devil himself. He is the accuser of the brethren. Excellent!
Check out the song that he does with chinchilla, called Ren X Chinchilla, chalk outlines. He is a great singing voice. He also has a great reggae voice. Enjoy!
And these too (all live recorded on the street busking) th-cam.com/video/d8nBzrhd8Ro/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/DbL7Frf6nJI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/uSeCuR51rek/w-d-xo.html
Van, Ren does a lot of Reggae, and he does it so good!! Also, will you puhhhllleeeaaaseee check out The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full) from him? You will not regret it, I promise!
Well said - it's more than a song, it's a movie indeed :) There is so much talent in this, loads and loads of talent. I love your reaction and your words - this is your journey, so enjoy it - swim, flow, dance
Just when you think creativity has hit a peak, somebody fresh comes along to remind us that creativity has no bounds. If we have a gift, we must pursue it to its end. What happens along the way isn't up to us. Get it out and let the work take over. We all play a part.
When i watched 2923 Grammys and heard all the young performers i thought my goodness music today is HORRIBLE Then REN comes along with his brilliance and restores my Hope Hi Ren is a masterpiece
I freaking LOVE him!!!! I have been waiting patiently for you to check him. Thank you so much, my dear sweet brother!!!! This is some solid truth. Most ppl can’t face their own inner hate of themselves. Like you taught me….. can’t move forward without dealing with the past. Love you. Amazing reaction as always. ❤️❤️❤️
First time watching your channel. In my opinion this phenomenal work of art is more spiritual, than most would think. I’m not a hundred percent certain, but I think the lyric about standing face to face with the beast, I will rise in the East and settle on the ocean floor, is possibly a reference to the second coming of Christ. At least, that’s what I perceived it to be. Anyway, I enjoyed your reaction, and insight on understanding the lyrics.
I thought I was seeing things when LFR & Ren were in the same title 😅 At long last you've discovered our Brighton boy! 🙏 He is pure talent ✨️ 👏 Please react to more of his work. Amazing vid as always. Keep up the good work Van. Peace and love from the UK ✌️ ❤️
Thank u van this was amazing. This kid is just wow brilliant vocally guitar ridden genuinely a genius. I believe I enjoyed, learnt, ,felt and related to much if not all of his msg.. insightfully impressive at a time needed thank u
10:08 Hands down man, he's turned something so absurd and hard to conjure into a mind blowing smack in the face. This is the only song that I get the goosebumps from every fricking time I listed to it.
I am trying to remember when a song has hit me harder than this one. Maybe never. I have been intoxicated and enjoyed many songs before, but this song is more than a song. It's a message. It's a lesson. It's a reason to believe in.
WOW WOW WOW. This is a such a great song. Which at first sound moved me very positively. I can't believe how someone people can be entertaining without having anything but one acoustic guitar!! I am amazed at how he does this speed, exact time, rhythm of the guitar and words together.
I agree, he is awesome. However, you're wrong about the takes. There's an interview with him and he talks about how many takes they had to do. The final take was one solid take, which is where he is speaking to the camera at the end. But the arguing back and forth between him and himself, that took many many takes. Even if you just did it in one taken edited it, it would still take more than one individual take. That's kind of impossible
@Big Country Mountain Man respectfully, there's a difference between doing it in the FIRST take and ONE take. It might have taken him multiple times to get that ONE. a nine minute song!? Crazy
bro!!! this is fire!!!! Thank you for this video I never heard of this artist and now I get to say"I'm Woke" lol.. love the variety of uploads you have much respect! What s absolute talent with the guitar and your sick voice with beautiful words!!! Had to comment on this one! Hi Ren hope you keep this authenticity brother...💙💜
OMG! He should have just stayed with the guitar 🎸!! That’s all I could handle. I’m definitely a Zeppelin & a Skynyrd fan (original)Skynyrd! I came back and listened. Wow! He’s deep!!
Van that huge smile you had going on is infectious. Had me grinnin ear to ear as well. Ren is AMAZING! I recently discovered him also and I haven't stopped listening since. I don't need to give any suggestion for other songs as every one I've heard is great and I know you're being hit up like crazy already lol. Respect and love brother!
Yay...SARAH (I hope that's right) Great job on the pick!🤗 This is 1 of my new favorites! I'm glad you checked it out Van!😊 Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤
SO happy to see you doing this reaction. I'm a big Ren fan. I am sure someone has already told you of his health struggles. He makes this amazing music independently while suffering from the effects of years of debilitation from Lyme disease. He is truly inspirational, as are you my friend. Keep doing what you do brother.
He is, indeed a heavy thinker and his footprints leave VERY DEEP IMPRESSIONS on my mind, my soul and my heart!!! Thank your friend for asking you to react to this so that we all got the opportunity to be exposed to it!
there are guitar players, guitarists... and then people who can pick up stringed musical instruments and already know they can make it make every sound it can make and then also use that ability in a fantastic composition
Great how his caustic sounding playing coincided with his bad side, and the more normal sound came from his tea; self. Done purposely, and truly genius.
I admire you for all of your truth and support you give out from your soul. Also , fantastic reaction on Hi Ren. There is no one like him. And you are special too.❤
Listening to this Song… Many Different and Difficult but also Beautiful thoughts 💭 go through my mind! A true Song Writer/Poet, this song will be remembered for years to come! Helping people who suffer from Mental Illness by talking about the eternal struggle with that voice we all have within ourselves! Overcoming that fear and seeing what’s on the other side! #RenHiRen
On top is also this man played and singed this song live in real time, This was not pre-record, what you see is real in real time, Now that is amazing.
Long time fan of Ren & his previous group. He is truly a lyrical musical genius & awe-inspiring to go thru literal hell & come out on the other side on fire! Love the review,!
I wish I could like this video 1000 times! I love it, I loved watching you experience it for the first time. I loved watching the transition as you started to realize what it was, what it was about, and how poetic and profound it is. loved it! more of this! if you grow tired of some of the political review videos you should look at more of his stuff. it's really exceptional. there are many singers out there, many songwriters, but very few performance artists that can really move you and tell a story like this.
Yooo man! appreciate your reaction to my song man love hearing your insights and thanks so much for the support!!
Your music is really fking DOPE man !!! 🔥

You are a gift. Sending you prayers of healing your way

allmost didnt watch this one, glad I did! Very powerful!

True.
I love you, l love you God bless you forever thanks for your performance. Beautiful human beings. I have no more words to. Bless your soul
Brilliant!
Great reaction, man. Lots of interesting insights. New fan of yours.
Wow. He went off!!! Very interested creative and deep. We can relate to this conversation with self in many ways… I love this
God is great
All the time.
Because of the lighting, my first thought was that he was the guy from “Peaky Blinders”. Appreciate the review Van!
i lost the faith of my youth a long time ago, but i gotta say, man - hearing you recite scripture from heart is a beautiful thing.
Astounding TALENT Van! HUGE intellect, lifted me up, WOW. ❤❤❤
Great reaction so full of insight
i love this song , I've listen to this song soo many times
Oh my his singing voice is BEAUTIFUL! This kid is on a whole other level.
Check out the song that he does with chinchilla, called Ren X Chinchilla, chalk outlines.
He is a great singing voice. He also has a great reggae voice.
Enjoy!

You are going through a wormhole, enjoy the ride and say hello to your new life.
“A purpose you can rest in”
Just 1 of many great lines. You have a gift Ren.
That's a great message.
Van, Ren does a lot of Reggae, and he does it so good!! Also, will you puhhhllleeeaaaseee check out The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full) from him? You will not regret it, I promise!
Loved your words at the end of this. Peace to you brother.

In the feels. Truth is thicker than water, and sharper than a razor. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for showing us this video. He is very talented. I will always remember this song. I will definitely play it again and again. Very powerful.
I have been hoping one of my favorites would reviewe this song. He is special. I'm happy you see it too. ❤️
I love this! Very meaningful words of wisdom from an insightful young man. I think my sons could gain hope from this video.
If he can pull this off live. He will bring the house down!!!!!!!!!! He needs to bring a stage set that looks like this. Awesome!!!!

Thank you. I never would have watched this without you. This is an amazing young. I pray for his healing and blessings upon him.
Great reactions. Like you said top level genius. Talent and years of graft through challenging struggles. What an artist.
I freaking LOVE him!!!! I have been waiting patiently for you to check him. Thank you so much, my dear sweet brother!!!! This is some solid truth. Most ppl can’t face their own inner hate of themselves. Like you taught me….. can’t move forward without dealing with the past. Love you. Amazing reaction as always. ❤️❤️❤️
That was absolutely amazing thank you for sharing I'm glad to be part of your family
Wow! What a brilliant young man! That song/story/play/movie hit me hard... in a good way. It's a wake-up call we all need.
First time watching your channel. In my opinion this phenomenal work of art is more spiritual, than most would think.

Thank you for introducing me to this❤
Song made me choke up. It’s rare nowadays to hear something different like this.
Wow… just wow. Thanks for bringing us this Van… and whoever bullied you in to it. Going to find more on this kid. Touched.

So glad you have reviewed it.
This kid's message needs to go far.
🙏

Great Reaction Man!! Im Hooked on watching reactions to 'Hi Ren' Ever since reacting to it myself!! great job LFR, i felt the goosebumps with you!
A person who can communicate like that has been through it for a minute. He's now a Warrior. God is building his army.
Wow! That was powerful,Van. Thanks for sharing this. ❤️🥰
This has me speechless as well. What an amazing soul. May God continue to direct him and expose his soul. 🙏🏽
Yes..He raised the bar of creativity.
10:08 Hands down man, he's turned something so absurd and hard to conjure into a mind blowing smack in the face. This is the only song that I get the goosebumps from every fricking time I listed to it.
Same. It’s a masterpiece
I am trying to remember when a song has hit me harder than this one. Maybe never. I have been intoxicated and enjoyed many songs before, but this song is more than a song. It's a message. It's a lesson. It's a reason to believe in.
This was INTENSE as well as ENLIGHTENING!!! God Bless him and God, please Bless us ALL!!
Excellent....❤️
Oh, my lands! Thank you for reacting to that. That was something else. You're really wonderful, Van.
I've been looking forward to you getting to this artist. Hope you keep digging. He's a real one. ❤🔥🍻
Vam!!! I love love love that you can quote scriptures!!!!
WOW WOW WOW. This is a such a great song. Which at first sound moved me very positively. I can't believe how someone people can be entertaining without having anything but one acoustic guitar!! I am amazed at how he does this speed, exact time, rhythm of the guitar and words together.
All shot live, in just one take, straight through. He's amazing.
Yeah yeah. I loved this 👍
Big up to all the people who are struggling. Stay strong and remember - you are NOT giving in ✊🏾✊🏽
700k congratulations!
TRUTH!
I love this song so much, I have watched over 100 reaction videos just for the excuse to keep listening to the song. Your reaction was great.
I soo get him, absolutely felt this in my soul as he was strumming my pain with his pain. He put me in awe. Thank you.
Funny thing is he raps and sings and is so talented this video was live and done in 1 take this kid is amazing
And plays guitar
"The Hunger"
He is such an amazing player and singer. Do you know where to find this song? I found it under the description.
I agree, he is awesome. However, you're wrong about the takes.
There's an interview with him and he talks about how many takes they had to do. The final take was one solid take, which is where he is speaking to the camera at the end. But the arguing back and forth between him and himself, that took many many takes. Even if you just did it in one taken edited it, it would still take more than one individual take.

@Big Country Mountain Man respectfully, there's a difference between doing it in the FIRST take and ONE take. It might have taken him multiple times to get that ONE. a nine minute song!? Crazy
This guy can sing amazingly also. Check out blind eyed also by ren and Sam the street performance is awesome
🔥 song they did..I just watched it.
Van, Shane may be referring to the street performance that includes, "'Earned It, 'Man's World' (yes, That one! ❤️🔥), & 'Falling'".
That was awesome. What a wonderful soul that young an has. Thanks for that LFR
So happy to see that you’ve come across REN. When I first herd it I knew it was a message you would enjoy hearing as much as I did
Glad to see Rens genius being seen by so many.

Just discovered this yesterday and it is the best thing that I have heard in a very long time. What a talent!
OMG! He should have just stayed with the guitar 🎸!! That’s all I could handle. I’m definitely a Zeppelin & a Skynyrd fan (original)Skynyrd!
I came back and listened. Wow! He’s deep!!
Jan
I am with you. It's a bit much, or I really should say it is actually too much for me.
I just don't get it.
Van that huge smile you had going on is infectious. Had me grinnin ear to ear as well. Ren is AMAZING! I recently discovered him also and I haven't stopped listening since.

That was beautiful, I am deeply touched. Thank you.
Hey Van, thank you for bringing this video to my attention. This is outstanding. Thank you for so much excellent content!.
So cool you do reactions! This artist has blown my mind. Amazing.
Hello Van, love the LFR family.
Lenard Skinner recorded in my hometown of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Also home of Swampers. Graduated from Muscle Shoals High School
Lynyrd Skynyrd...and hi!! Bama represent!
Checkout Ren and Chinchilla song called, Chalk Outlines
V I woulda thought you'd be up on Ren by now, he's got that LFR energy. Keep being true, my friend
His remix of "Bitter Sweet Symphony" is a must watch.
Love your reaction and evaluation. And I think there is definitely a spiritual component.
On top is also this man played and singed this song live in real time, This was not pre-record, what you see is real in real time, Now that is amazing.
