~For some of us who may suffer from mental issues ourselves it's so relatable that it keeps hitting like a truck. And opens our eyes that we are far from unique with our problems.
Your reaction to this is simply beautiful and so kind and gentle to the subject matter, this is such an amazing performance. His Chalk outines LIVE with Chinchilla is stunning!
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
Here is some additional information on Ren's story that I gathered from old newspaper interviews, articles, and Ren's livestreams and posts where he discussed his condition. Ren Erin Gill is a British musician/independent artist; born in Wales on March 29, 1990; he eventually moved to Brighton. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, Ren began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. In 2010, he was signed by Sony Records and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue and subsequently his contract with Sony was dissolved. Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led him to experience psychosis and develop PTSD. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure. Ren is currently in Calgary, Canada for more treatments, including surgeries, and will have to be there for at least six months (Summer of 2023) undergoing IV and other interventions five days a week. Ren recently underwent wisdom tooth removal and cavitation surgery. In addition, his Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD), which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, adrenals as well as his bones/joints. Now, Ren is receiving additional treatments for this previously undiagnosed condition. Let's keep supporting Ren as he undergoes his treatments. Check out and subscribe to his channel, if you are a content creator, ask your audience to subscribe to Ren. Listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to the world, and his work is important in these troubling times. Someone has finally created a Wikipedia page for Ren, so there is additional information available. Here is the link to Ren’s GoFundMe page to raise money for his current treatment. Ren has exceeded his initial goal. However, his goal was very conservative and did not reflect the added costs of unforeseen surgical procedures, and treatment for additional health issues such as MCAD. www.gofundme.com/f/ren-get-better-from-lyme-disease-and-autoimmunity
When he stood up and said the word ”HOPE” and when he talked about the clock pendulum swinging from the light to dark are the two most powerful things I’ve heard in a song for a very long time! WOW! It gets better every time you listen to it. Great song and reaction!
I just found about Ren and Hi Ren like a week ago. I am 53, in recovery and sober for 13 years, and just so in awe of this breakdown of the soul learning how to survive in the midst of our chaotic journey called life. I listen to this daily, and it brings me to tears, each time remembering and appreciating my journey and discovering how to navigate my dance, as he so aptly describes it. I'm very excited to watch and hear your reaction to this beautiful soul awakening.
We (somewhat morbidly) learn so much from cadavers-people we literally open up to see what went on inside. This is a virtual autopsy of sorts, that the patient is doing on himself while still alive. He’s opening himself wide for others to inspect and comment and learn on. That’s pretty damn brave IMO. And a gift.
I saw someone else describe it perfect. He basically wrote and performed a mini Opera. He really takes you on a journey through a story. It's really well done.
been obsessed with music for around 35 years and sometimes I get in this rut where I think I've heard everything worth hearing and that there's really nothing new under the sun and then I found Ren and all those jaded thoughts were immediately reset.
Excellent reaction. Welcome to Ren! He is a healthy force. There is also the band "The Big Push". His music there is great, too. They are mainly buskers. (Street corner performers).
You have so many videos (this is going to be my next rabbit hole cause i love your breakdowns & your emotions!!) It took me a while to find this & you didn't disappoint!! Once again, YOU ARE AWESOME!!! THANK YOU for doing this & sharing with us! 💐
I've been waiting for weeks for you to get this......and I guess I missed it the first time 😞 Looking forward to your reaction to this (IMO) masterpiece commentary on the human condition. Excited to be here live-ish for it too!
The first time I heard this it blow my mind, firstly just how talented he is on guitar, how amazing his voice is especially as he sings in different styles and just his incredible song writing. The monologue at the end was also just incredible.
Thank you for taking the time to share this original reaction. I've seen "Hi, Ren" countless times, but enjoy watching reactors when they first hear it. And your reaction was great!
It is incredible that just standing up has such a powerful reaction, the lights flashing while the negative entity has control, the lad's are geniuses.try the tale of jenny and screech and violet tale animal flow and and money game parts 1, 2 and 3
Very cool 😎 mind blowing 🔥 I love the way he used the lamps in the back, the bigger lamp is negative thoughts and was on when dumb Ren was speaking then you have the smaller lamp in back which is the inner child Ren that was on when the beautiful Ren was speaking, and when both lamps are on its the whole Ren 😊 Beautiful words from Ren at end, I love that, eternal dance, just beautiful 🔥
2 wolves live. Insider. Each other of us one. Good one bad which 1 comes out you decide the 1 that you feed doesAnd he does this song in one take and he keeps beat the. Same beat? Throughout the whole song if you ever notice
Britt this was worth the wait! You did this video so beautifully from beginning to end. I think having your reaction in real time made it that much better for a song like this. Appreciate you and you have the day you deserve too❤
Don' let this one scare you. He has a lighter side as well. Try looking at his street song with the big Push (the group he was in) "I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion Hip Hop mix, or some of his raps like "Right Here Right Now or "What You Want". One of my favourites is "Why My Woman" from The Big Push and Rens version of "Bittersweet Symphony"
Not crazy genius God sent this genius man 2 world and ran suffered. The cost of points is that trying to defeat evil but. So harness both sides.😢😅😅😅😂❤❤ love you Ren
The entire video it's a fixed type camera filming. Then after the "devil" segment it turns into "freecam" filming...its dope af. It represents him being free from his negative thoughts
Perfect. I'm looking forward to this one, as a Ren fanboy who has watched an embarrassing amount of reactions to his work. I'm sure you won't disappoint lass x
That song is utterly amazing and I really hope you react more of his music and show your fans his work so they can support him as well. He was very sick with Lyme disease and nearly died and now he’s making killer hits amazing.
"Some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope." This is the line that stands out for me as the defining moment of this masterpiece (and I've never use that word for a contemporary song).
This is art of transcendent beauty and an *important* song. Artists often struggle with imposter syndrome. There’s a movie starring Olivia Munn called “Violet” that rings of this and was a transformative experience for me… just as this song also resonates. As a person who’s never been able to escape imposter syndrome and negative self-talk, *realizing* that I can exert the strength that destructive voice questions-strength that I *know* I have-was sooo important. It takes time to push past the negativity-to make your own voice stronger, but if anyone out there is struggling with this, please please please *know* that you can do it. *Know* that I believe in you… but you don’t need me to-just like you don’t need the shroud of doubt that feels first of protection and then as a prison. You are *stronger* than that voice. You are stronger than you can *possibly* know… until you push back with softness or aggression-your choice.
There’s some reference to Animal Farm in the video. It was done in a single take that he performed for the video. The lights flicker when it’s the darkness in his psyche coming through. It’s an incredible piece of art by an amazing artist.
About time! Nice reaction! ❤ Now it's time for you to do, Jenny and Screech's tale, Violet's tale, 3 songs 1 story! Do the full triology, all at once! 😊
Agreed 100%. If you think this one hit hard I would say The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full) hits even harder. Definitely watch the full 13minute video all at once (all 3 songs back-to-back).
The voice of reason, the voice of hope, THE VOICE THAT LOOSENS THE NOOSE ON THE ROPE. So sorry I missed this live. You're a great reactor, Britt. Always a good time ❤
I've watched several dozen reaction videos for this song and I'm surprised by the number of "reactors" who miss this line. They hit on the "hope" word and are reacting, and either pause at that moment to discuss and when it starts up again they aren't ready and the "noose" line just gets lost, or since they are still vocalizing as a reaction they miss the next phrase completely. That phrase is probably the most powerful line in the whole song. It speaks to purpose - his purpose - his reason for creating music. He wants that connection and through his music he reaches out to get it. But other people want that connection as well, and he knows this, and sometimes music is their only conduit to that connection - even if it's one way. It's a life line. I like the reactors who go back 5-10 seconds and before getting back to the song, because the ones that did that get taken back and have to stop again because they realized they missed that "noose on the rope" line. Such a powerful song and message.
Wow!! Fantastic review Britt!! In my humble opinion, having worked in mental health fir a few decades, this is the most eloquent mental health education I have ever encountered. Ren is like a modern messiah!! 🙏
I have watched almost all the reactions to hi ren (some were too cringy) You find his performance tests reactors skills. Britt is clearly at the top with Knox Hill or Carasmatic Voice. ❤ it... won't gush too much. More ren is good. To get a full view of his many talents
It still hits me and I have also seen it about 50 times. PLEASE do more Ren songs...his rapping is awesome and his version Live of I shot the sherrif/Road to Zion/Hip Hop is also fire.
In my opinion the biggest mistake anyone can make is, after listening to "Hi - Ren", not listening to "Tale of Jenny and Screech (trilogy - Full)" (Or the tales of Jenny, Screech and Violet in that exact order). Then, to surprise you even more, "Humble", "Ocean", "Losing It", "Genesis", "English man in New York" and "Bongo Bong" (as a member of The Big Push")... and more ! Just dive in and enjoy... I did it!
Love Ren, can talk about this performance forever, but just wanted to thank you for giving the people what they asked for (not me, just stumbled upon you video, which is great, so you got yourself a new subscriber). Also you are pleasant to watch and listen to.
This man is clearly a genius. Amen. And I found a comment that tells that he got ill and his disease was not diagnosticed correctly but the medicaments gaven injured him seriousely and he had to spend most of his day in the bed. But it seems that he finally was diagnosted right and he can receive correct treatment in Canada.
I was blown away by REN yesterday and watched everything I could find. Brilliant. I'm so glad you are reacting. I will come back later today or tomorrow cause I don't think I can get in there again today. Thanks for doing a reaction, though .. I appreciate it and will be back.
Ren was eventually diagnosed with Lyme disease. This video was the 4th take and if you look you can see the mic on his left shoulder as well as see him unplug the guitar.
I used to think Hi Ren was the best I could possibly see from Ren. Then the other day I saw The Tale of Jenny and Screech, and it was even better. Do yourself a favor and do a react to The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full). It's unbelievably good.
That was an amazing reaction! I can't remember if I watched your original because I've watched over 100 so far but yours is one of the best. Thanks Britt!
The flickering lights accompany the chaotic voice. In the beginning, the falsetto singing had steady lighting, but that section followed the chaotic guitar, and was more peaceful. At the end, the last voice was the voice of calm, and the chaos re-emerged in the falsetto singing. And of course, that chaos was the setup for the supremely calm, spoken word free verse at the end. We are both parts. It is all us, we are one.
oh, and when the calm voice tries to kill the chaotic voice, the lights start flickering, showing that he's losing control of the calm portion in the process of trying to kill the chaotic voice. just brilliant and meticulously thought out!
"Incredible" was the only word I could think of too. I'm sure some more descriptive words will come as this sinks in. I'm gonna go have the day I deserve...thanks for sharing. 😉
One of the most exquisite pieces of music ever written
Absolutely
Ren rabbit hole initiated!!
The problem is that once you go down it, you turn into the mad hatter 😂❤
Exactly where I’m going. A little nervous, but excited.
@@anthonyperrello9540 whatever you do dont follow the giant white rabbit .. or do its up to you
She's three months in already. Love that it was in a livestream as well.
Once you go down the rabbit hole you will not return
I've watched this about 50 times and it still hits me like a train. **sobs**
It gets better after about 100.
@@Pejt lol, thanks
Same here @Carol - Pejt says it gets better after 100 views, lol.

fifty times lol noob . i reckon i have seen ALL reactors of this ALWAYS hits .
'Hi Ren' is the best 9 minute therapy session ever!
he is exactly that , this should be played in hospital waiting rooms
I love how people think the first "yodel" is kinda weird, but then they get down with the one at the end.
Your reaction to this is simply beautiful and so kind and gentle to the subject matter, this is such an amazing performance. His Chalk outines LIVE with Chinchilla is stunning!
Watched that for the first time today. Absolute chills. No crying though, never crying. I did sweat from my eyeballs a bit, however.
Same, I think it's the visuals, I'm not crying at rens songs it's just my eyes get so hot watching that water appears on my face 🤔
It doesn’t matter how many times I watch the video to this song. It’s still such a powerful gut punch every single time.
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

She is actually the first reactor I've seen that seem to be moved when he says hope. To me it was the most powerful part of the performance.

Eyes open ears on ✌️❤️🏴
Wow that silence at the end of the monolog says it all. Powerful love it
I cried the first time I ever heard this song. It's sooo human, and I think every human can relate to it in some way.
You are so right: THIS IS TRUTH !!!
Thank you for this amazing reaction !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!! Fantastic review Britt!!

Thanks for sharing this! Loved it!

Wow, my favorite reactors to Ren also! I like Britt's too
The reaction to him singing (not yodeling) in the beginning juxtaposed to the ending is always priceless
Like #HOG, we will protect Ren at all costs.
#HOG & #RENaissance collide. In the best of ways

I did exactly that with my therapist. I love your reaction to this
Music is essentially about capturing the human experience. Ren is a master at it.
That was an amazing reaction! I can't remember if I watched your original because I've watched over 100 so far but yours is one of the best. Thanks Britt!
Thx to you and Thx to Betterhelp
Bardcore for life 😎
this man is so ridiculously talent he can do it all at a very high level pls do more of his content
He is a real artist. Next you should hear chalk outlines👍🤗
this brother rings different, speaks to us all
The lights only Flickr when evil Ren is talking.
You would love his "love music" trilogy! If you're looking for happy/bouncey that's it! 😊❤ also, losing it
I don't know if I've ever enjoyed a live reaction or any of them as much as this one.
Britt nails it, per usual. Much love and respect.
He’s brilliant.
1st time hearing this song...WOW!!❤
It actually reminds me of "Best Rapper Ever" by Tom Macdonald. You should DEFINITELY do that one!
#HOG #Hangovergang concurs.
Most common post performance reaction is "Wow." The lad is a genius. Doesn't have a badly written or performed song that I have seen.
The flickering lights accompany the chaotic voice. In the beginning, the falsetto singing had steady lighting, but that section followed the chaotic guitar, and was more peaceful. At the end, the last voice was the voice of calm, and the chaos re-emerged in the falsetto singing. And of course, that chaos was the setup for the supremely calm, spoken word free verse at the end. We are both parts. It is all us, we are one.
oh, and when the calm voice tries to kill the chaotic voice, the lights start flickering, showing that he's losing control of the calm portion in the process of trying to kill the chaotic voice. just brilliant and meticulously thought out!
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole😂
"Incredible" was the only word I could think of too. I'm sure some more descriptive words will come as this sinks in. I'm gonna go have the day I deserve...thanks for sharing. 😉
And you have a good day too lovely lady.
