He is currently living in Canada where he is receiving treatment. Tales of Jenny and Screech (13m version) is the next logical step....all his stuff is amazing.

    The reason Ren blew up is because of how authentic and relatable this video was for so many people. He portrays an internal battle that many of us fight every single day. That challenging, belittling voice is something most of us experience, and it can feel like it holds all the power. But Ren also portrayed the voice of hope, and that's what gets most of us through the day.
    I don't think I've ever seen another artist be that vulnerable, or tackle a subject in such a way as to meld my own experience with theirs. It hit me right at my core. This is beyond music. It's an experience.

He FINALLY got diagnose and in currently in Canada undergoing treatments for it. His work is nothing short of amazing....welcome to the rabbit hole that is Ren :)

    The confusion and difficulty finding words is typical after experiencing Ren. There are no criteria to qualify to listen to Ren's music, and you've checked off all the items you could ever need to become a Renegade:
    * you're open-minded,
    * you pay attention to whats happening in the music,
    * You've engaged the Renegades and elicited a dialog
    **BONUS** You have prior first-hand experience of Ren. Please share. We love that stuff, haha
    Was watching you young ladies through your Angelina discovery and path, so very happy to see you join in on this rabbit hole.

Although he is still in Canada getting treatments for Lyme disease, he did put out a Hip Hop / Rap album Sic Boi and did win #1 album in the UK. Just him and his Brighton friends who all flew to Canada to be with him. No radio play, no touring or promoting, just people on TH-cam finding him and falling in love. It's such an amazing thing and I hope he continues to get the recognition he deserves. You should watch the moment he found out he was #1, your Mom would love it!

    I'm so glad I came across this channel. I love Ren. I'm a renegade and the fact that you two used to see him busk on the street is just amazing. You lucky ladies! I'm a 51 year old man from Lexington Kentucky and I found Ren from this song about a month after it was released and I've been in love with his music ever since. I can't wait to see more of your Ren reactions

    Loved your reaction, ladies. My elder brother was a street busker for much of his life, with a period in folk singing, and then pop in the late 1960's before returning to busking [Don Partridge]. He spent his last years in Seaford and Peacehaven, close to Brighton, and often busked in Brighton, so when he died the corporation named a bus after him. So, like you, I have a special affinity for buskers and for Brighton. Ren is probably the most amazing, creative and theatrical musical artist I have ever heard or seen. I know that you will both enjoy your Ren journey!

    @OzzieMozzie777 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Just found your channel with this video, been watching reactions to the song all day. Was pleasantly surprised to hear that you saw this guy performing before he was well known. This reaction in particular is interesting to me because of how there are two generations reacting to something that my yet even younger generation has produced (the suffering caused by our circumstances that leads to the creation of art like this). The world has begun to change so quickly and all the different generations still living currently seem to struggle relating to each other. The way this message affects all these different generations is different in some ways and the same in others. Society changes at a furious pace, but simultaneously human nature has always been and always will be the same. The mum cracked me up a bit 😂. Some people when they get older and mature, lose their ability to just laugh and enjoy life. Clearly she is not afflicted by this problem lol. God bless you guys, well wishes from the US 🙏

    @NevynAtAll42 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Wow! Someone who knows him, who has seen him live on the streets. Awesome work, ladies.
    On the pausing videos, that is a way to avoid copyright strikes and such issues with reactions. Ren doesn't do that, but a lot of artists, or the rights holders for their music at least, will strike reactions to claim the revenue. Blurring the video on our screens is another way, things like that. Such methods are attempting to cover your own bottoms.
    Ren is truly amazing. I kind of wish I could have lived over there when he was active, just to experience him in such a raw state, but I'm on the other side of the planet in NZ. We have our own, New Brighton in my city. It's not the same, though.
    Keep being awesome, ladies.

  • @marcw6905
    @marcw6905 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Thank you for this wonderful reaction, both of you are absolutely delightful!
    You are coming at Ren with a fresh perspective, one that intrigues me: I see in his many busking videos all the passerby who stop to enjoy his beautiful music and yet, perhaps, are not aware of the myriad health issues that have plagued him and, in fact, inspired much of his music (latest album = Sick Boi).
    This is a very different perspective from the youtube audience such as myself who have learned about the health issues as soon as discovering Ren.
    I would love to hear, as you dive into his videos, whether your impression of him has changed since the busking days!
    BTW, I'm super envious that you got see him in those street performances!!

  • @BrilligandtheSlithyToves
    @BrilligandtheSlithyToves หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    The majority of his work that I have had the brilliant luck to come across, is more like "performance art" than just music. This piece, for example, is lyrically, and musically engrossing, in and of itself, laced with similies, metaphors, double entendre, beautifully descriptive details, and sweeping melodic outbursts, but you take: the different camera angles used for the 2 battling parts of his psyche, the different tones of voice used for each (aggressive vs. passive), the different lighting cues for each (flashing vs. steady), and the vocal inflection used for each (anger vs. calm), and you get a sense of perspective from each of those that helps to move the narrative. It's like an rock operetta. It evokes emotion, introspection, empathy, sympathy, happiness, sorrow, and even a feeling of resolution. I LOVE this performance. He definitely deserves ALL the accolades he is currently garnering from the world.

  • @sigally

  • @IcarusDrowning-gz8se

    It's so interesting to hear you mention Bob Marley at the end. There is a video of THE BIG PUSH (Ren's band that you mentioned) playing a medley of I Shot The Sheriff by Bob Marley and a song by Bob's son and some other stuff. I have some brain damage from an accident so please forgive me forgetting the proper title for a moment lol. If you search for...
    The Big Push - I shot the sheriff
    ... you will find the video. The one you should watch has Hip Hop at the end of the title, I think. It's an incredible video filmed on the streets of your lovely hometown, Brighton. Who knows? Maybe you were in the crowd that day. You will love it either way.

    You've got the Jenny and Screech trilogy (it's quite harrowung) and the Money Game trilogy to look forward too. Plus loads of other goodies.
    And you really have to watch his songs with Chinchilla as well 'Chalk Outlines and How To Be Me. There's another arc there. Glad you've got around to him. He's from North Wales originally. Don't worry the Renegades will get you both clued up with the latest.

    the first channel to do a proper reaction; both of you were great! thank you. Ren is a beautiful person and has suffered immense physical and psychological pain for many years of his life, not to mention he was mis-diagnosed for years and suffered from Lyme disease which has left permanent damage. He is a miracle and his music speaks volume.

    We'd all give at least a few fingers to go back and see Ren and/or The Big Push busking in Brighton! Really cool to see a reaction from a couple who HAVE. SO envious! and happy for you that you saw it live. I'm sure you'd enjoy The Big Push's busking performance of "Watch Out." You want the one with Ren in red suspenders.

    • @rebeccaburnell9319
      @rebeccaburnell9319 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Something I've learned from reaction channels' comment sections for their Ren reactions: suspenders = garter belt over there! Folks from the UK say "look for the thumbnail with Ren in the red braces" to describe the videos from the Red Suspenders Ren busking performance... just in case it helps these ladies figure out what we're saying!

  • @CalvinC404

    I love this reaction!! Almost all reactions to "Hi Ren" start with the words "I've never heard of Ren, but...". It was a lovely take to see Mother's reaction knowing that she knew Ren from his busking days, and that she already knew Ren is quite talented. And the facial expressions on Daughter as she experiences this video - I feel like I should have paid to watch them!
    I'm sure I won't be the first or last person to recommend you react to the Jenny & Screech trilogy next. If you do, do it in the order Jenny's tale -> Screech's tale -> Violet's tale, or better yet, use the 13 minute single video with all 3 that Ren put together. And although you both know that "talented" and "genius" only begin to describe Ren, I leave you with an almost spoiler that Mother will understand: Before watching Jenny & Screech, I figured Ren was a talented genius. Midway through the trilogy, Ren made it to highly imaginative talented genius. In the last scene of the trilogy, I immediately and unapologetically placed Ren in the same class as Rod Serling and Alfred Hitchcock. Absolutely a unique talent.

    What a lovely duo you are, I very much enjoyed your reaction to this. Much of Ren's music will invite you out of your comfort zone to address & spark conversation about subjects that often get swept aside. Ren is changing the way we digest music. No one else is doing this. Exiting times for music. Thank you.

    Welcome to the RENegades! Ren will always surprise you. Pick your poison! EDM, Reggae, Heavy Metal, Rap, Pop. He loves to challenge himself. A raunchy pop song for the radio?(Uninvited) An acappella rap using stream of consciousness? (Loco). A song that will make you cry? (Suicide/For Joe) The rabbit hole is deep and diverse. Sometimes tearful and sometimes hysterical laughter. Enjoy your journey.

    Actually, this is a perfect place to start. Of course you living in Brighton are luckily enough to have heard Sam and Ren busking live. I live over America in near San Francisco so I have to see him via his audio music and his videos.
    Please continue your journey. He did get number 1 Album in UK a couple months ago. He is currently in Calgary, Alberta in Canada finishing up some treatments. He plans on moving to L.A. By the way he is from Wales but did move to Brighton where you saw Ren and Sam busking.
    I suggest

    Great reaction! I'm from Brazil and I'm learning English in various ways, such as watching reacts, films/series and classes. I discovered Ren this year through this clip also when I was reacting to "NF-HOPE" and I saw him in the recommendations, I thought he was a lyrical genius, since then I've followed his journey. I would like you to react to "Ren- Sicki Boi", it is the sequence after this clip. I would also like you to start reacting to "NF", they are both very good and I guarantee you that you will learn a lot from them. (I USED GOOGLE TRANSLATOR TO TRANSLATE SOME THINGS);

    From what I’ve heard he was originally from Brighton but was living in London for a while before moving to Canada for treatment. Quite a few songs are storytelling, dealing with the loss of a friend, and his ability to rap is incredible. There are easily 20 videos you can react to.
    In descending order my favorites are Power, For Joe, Chalk Outlines (featuring Chinchilla), Illest of Our Time, I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip-Hop
