No one is making art like Ren right now. He's in a class of his own.
Jenny was just a 14 yr old girl walking home. Screech mugged her and slit her throat, leaving her dead. He had no where to run because his friend Patrick didn't answer his door because he was sleeping with screech's gf. With no where to run or hide, he charged the police officer and was shot down,dying one street down from Jenny. Violet was their mother who died from physical abuse when she was pregnant. Doctors saved the twins, and they ended up in the system, never knowing each other or knowing they were twin siblings. Jenny was like her mother and James (screech) ended up like his father before meeting their fate. That "feeling" of divine intervention to beware was ironic because of the bond twins share. She felt her brother and the danger.
Jenny was definitely a prostitute. That’s what Ren is meaning by “walked the streets a thousand times before” and she’s “trying to escape”.
She grew up in the foster system and had no support. She had to survive.
Jenny was a 14 year old in high heels who had walked the street a 1000 times.
@@inspiredfunkmark she walked the floor, not the street
I disagree. I think Jenny was 21 screech was on a child’s TV show in the 90s and Violet was my grandmother.
@@John-209 😂😂😂
Three generations of silence and violence.
Violet's mother and father... silent and violent.
Violet and Stevie... silent and violent.
Jenny and Screech... silent and violent.
- Lather - Rinse - Repeat -
I'd say there are more than 3 generations of Trauma here, the true impact of the entire negativity these characters seem to already have some knowledge of indicates to me that this is a way of life for these poor souls & I'm sure Violet's character came from a long line of victim's. [I don't condone violent behaviour in any way but listening & imaging "Jenny" & "James" situation has put a lot of things into perspective for me & for that I am grateful!
Screech real name is James, twin name for Jenny and James.
where did you get her mother being silent, she was apathetic sure but not silent. And jenny stood still like a statue. Feels like a reach tbh lol
@@charg1nmalaz0r51 - The women were all silent about the abuse they suffered. If it's never reported, abuse tends to go on forever. Well... until death. It's a cycle that we see all too often.
Such a brilliant trilogy , Ren is beyond a story teller .
@Clyde Shelton why not both?
He's only ever had 2 guitar lessons, he just figured it out for himself. He just did a fascinating interview with Justin Hawkins on YT, and answered pretty much any questions you might have.
not sure about those 2 lessons. the internet says he‘s studied music performance at Bath Spa University. so he‘s indeed educated in this direction what explains his diverse musical abilities a bit more. maybe he hasn‘t finished and the rest is self-taught or self-taught before university? at least he‘s possibly got the tool from university to develop himself. also i think his mother had something to do with music if i remember rightly. so there might indeed have been some classical training, but who knows. in any case he most likely has been influenced by classically trained close persons.
@@greenogre22 he taught himself from guitar from TH-cam videos according to an interview he did a couple of months ago. He reckons his technique isn't very efficient because of it.
@@greenogre22 he has said he got his first guitar at 12 and taught himself carrying it everywhere with him to the point of annoying his teachers and he used TH-cam to improve. He said he’s had no formal lessons with the guitar and just sees patterns on the fretboard when he plays
Ren's way of story telling is so immersive. I am a retired UK police officer who is very obsessive about things being correct and a single crewed vehicle would have had me spitting bullets. But I was so captivated by the story I didn't even consider it. Well done Ren you are a true bard.
#renmakesmusic
I don't think it actually says he's on his own, he's just the one who used a gun. The bit I wondered about was the officer having a gun but a Met officer who's a good friend says it's not far fetched.
Rens catalog is A to Z. A trip down the rabbit hole 🕳 it's worth the experience of each gem.
Everything isn't for everyone, yet it seems in Rens case it is.
Great reaction, welcome to the journey, enjoy. ✌️
Just like he was saying yes, Ren has jokingly referred to his music as bardcore. And a lot of people have referenced the Witcher when referring to Ren. The other thing I wanted to mention is that I do believe that y'all got it right initially when saying that Jenny might have been a prostitute. Because what other reason would a 14-year-old girl be walking the streets late at night in high heels? That was a great reaction y'all. You have a new sub here. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you guys do whether by Ren or anyone else for that matter. Thanks for taking the time to watch this and watch this in full. It just loses something when you break it up into three songs or three videos. 🖖
Not only had Jenny walked those same streets in high heels a thousand times before... but as a 14 year old, you can do the math and safely assume she's been in that line of work for several years. Sadly, she must have run away from the foster care system at age 11 or 12. And as the lyrics say... she was looking for a way to escape that life (and "succeeded" in doing so).
I got that vibe too. Sadly; I've seen it happen. Many years ago, working as a cab driver for a couple of years
I really don't think Jenny was a prostitute.
That was not Ren's intention in my interpretation.
She's just a typical young girl like the ones I went to school with in England.
Girls can look older than their counterpart boys do with make up and heels...hence they go out to places they shouldn't be able to....and trouble can ensue.
don't forget "slice the rosy off you cheeks" as well, wearing heavy makeup. Plus Screech was "up all night" ... so it is Very Early hours of the day...
... it's also questionable if the twins were incest babies or not, because Violet was 9 months gone, and what Exactly did Stevie think she was lying about? Why call her a "fucking slut"?
one thing people in general don't seem to get with Ren, he does not WASTE a single word. They all FIT and have meaning, plus he repeats, in reverse, the themes.
@@grimmliberty7447 - She was lying by pretending to be asleep.
jenny is "walking the floor", a lyric detail most reactors miss, also violet gets a punch at the throat while trying to deflect punches so is likely **not able** to speak after that instead of "not wanting to speak". Ren's got mad lyric skills.
He's a real artist, and it's clear this story lived within him for a while because he didn't release Violet's Tale for two years after the first two, but he had a back story for the characters and released little details about them on social media now and then. As a painter and having known a few artists, I completely understand this process. When you really get caught in creating something you can't stop until it feels fully formed, and he couldn't stop until he'd told the tale of Violet. It's hard to explain, but it's like a painting you never think is finished, something about it just isn't right, until one day you just add that perfect brush stroke and you're happy to end it, because it finally feels done.
He definitely is a bard. The storyteller of old. Such an artist.
Ok so ren wrote this after reading a newspaper story on this awful cluster of one families murder and how history repeats itself from the parents to the children 😢
Great reaction guys ive subscribed 😀
He is straight up a Bard & definitely very much like Jaskier...He's a musician & storyteller...he's a modern day bard. Imagine giving him the reigns to write & direct a musical!
Great reaction guys.
Each of the 3 videos were performed live and each in 1 camera shot.
Also, Violet's Tale was written/released over 2 years after Jenny and Screech's Tales! 🏴🇬🇧
Hi guys, great reaction. Your faces during the song says it all.
"Fun fact" if I'm not wrong "Violet's tale" was released in 2019, 14 years after "Two Zero Zero Five"... Jenny and Screech they were 14 years old when they meet on that street... Such a genius way to think
No violets tale was released in 2022 but Jenny and Screeches tale takes place in 2019, 14 years after 2005 so ur half right
Everything about Ren fascinates me but I think what I'm most impressed with is the cinematography of his videos. It's just brilliant every single time.
"painted her black and blue" beautiful words for something really violent. and also thought two zero zero five was a time. until the end. when it was a year
he is like a 21st century version of a troubadour of past times
The reaction guy face like an actor of psychological horror movie, Its so menacing🥶😁
I watched an interview with Ren. He enjoys creating all types of music. He especially enjoys creating stories,when he’s in the mood. Good reaction. Subscribing.
Ren once described his music as 'bardcore'
I love how focused you both were on this video. I think a car could have driven through your room behind you and you wouldn't have lost focus. Great reaction.
ren is just great
He is THE Welsh bard. Ren is next level.
He is a modern day bard
He calls his music Bardcore. the tale of Violet was written years after the first two. Each tale is a single take.For something lighter try some of his street performances with his band The Big Push.
All signs point to Jenny being a prostitute. 14 year old walking home alone late at night in heels? Streets she’s walked 1000 times before? Wanting to escape the life she was living?
It’s a story about the power of generational violence. And it’s fascinating that for as many reactions I’ve seen, no one had ever done a trigger warning even though he describes graphic domestic violence in Violets Tale. That’s the difference between art and exploitation I guess.
Also…if you want to get more background on Screech, his girlfriend, and Patrick, Ren nearly got kicked off of Instagram for posting these fake stories about them. Patrick was not home and Screech’s girlfriend was busy because they were together. 😳 m.th-cam.com/video/BICvZAS1FR0/w-d-xo.html
Nailed it.
you mixed things up, Jenny was going home at the age of 14, Violet was 16 moving out from home. Violet most likely wasn't a prostitute as she was pregnant from her "Boyfriend". It could be that Jenny did prostitute herself
Thank You ao much bro! I just watched the vid about screech... It really added more to The Tale of Jenny and Screech... Damn Ren! Such dedication for his Art!
@@Tearnofear you’re right! Typed Violet while thinking Jenny. Edited to fix…good catch!
Thanks for posting the link, I had suspected that Patrick and Screech's girl might have been hooking up and that paranoid realisation may have been one of many compounding factors that contributed to Screech's reaction to his final interaction ....... normaly would not have ever considered a complicated back story in any other artists music. The tales of Jenny and Screech is a true modern day tragic master piece, extraordinary performance, with so many layers, exposing a confronting social commentary ...... not only in the subject matter but extending to his audience's reaction ....... amazing
I also agree with the rest of your summary ...... there is so much more in this story, the tragic consequences of drug and alcohol abuse, the insidious cost of domestic violence and sexual abuse, failures of an over burdened social welfare system, the extreme human challenges that police are faced with.
"He's way better than you.."...you just ripped that poor man's heart out; keep on jamming dude I swear to you practice and willpower all you need..also awesome reaction love yall gladness discovered your channel
the opening guitar melody to violets tale is a baroque style guitar phrase then goes into and ennio morricone spaghetti western homage...stunning
He’s absolutely incredible, have never met another man so talented at what he does.
brilliant reaction thank you his new song is out tomorrow ANIMAL FLOW ❤❤
want to keep watching and listening to ren. My favorite song and video from him "crutch" Ft. Bibi.
Alas poor Jenny and Screetch we didn't know them well till .....now 😢
Bardcore is what this has been dubed and a modern tragedy so well done buy Ren and SamuelPerry-Falvey. For little or no money this gets maximum impact. Violets Tale was videoed later but Ren actually released a few shorts on his phone being stolen by Screetch. It nearly backfired as subscribers left and friends blocked his number thinking it had been stolen. TH-cam were going to close Ren's TH-cam as people reporting what had happened.
Great reaction guys 🙏🙏🙏
You need to watch Ren's other music, such as Sick Boi, Losing It, What You Want, Power, Genesis, and his recent Illest Of Our Time. Plus live tracks from his old band The Big Push. The Ren rabbit hole is deep, but you'll love it.
He wasn’t a bard in a past life. He’s a bard today in his current life.
You guys autta check out his Beastie Boys style throw back... What you Want!
Also... Bittersweet Symphony, Power, Right Here Right Now, Genesis!
Great reaction, hope you travel further down the rabbit hole of Ren's music. It is not all darkness and tragedy but it is all brilliant. He was part of a band called The Big Push and they have some fantastic medleys filmed while busking on the streets of Brighton and some incredible original songs too. Then there are the other collaboration Ren has done, with Chinchilla, with Sam Tompkins and with Eden Nash. So much great stuff to explore, even if you do not react to them on TH-cam.
Amanda, your ink is beautiful! Great reaction. You 'get' Ren. You are my people. New sub. 🙂
I appreciate you reacting. One small critique...I feel you may be robbing yourself of fully connecting to Ren's artistry by focusing on the lyrics. I feel like I'm watching 2 people read subtitles. I wish you all the best.
So I watched the Jenny part and for 4 minutes I've learned.... she has tattoos and he has gauged ears! bravo!! Art!!!
Awesome reaction.
Ren is a phenomenal artist.
He is Welsh and Bardism originates from Wales. Bardd is Bard and Barddaeth is Bardism.
The Bard traditionally was highly educated and knowledgeable and studied everything that needed to be known and once they “graduated” they would become Bardd Ynys Prydain, a principle bard of the Isle of Britain.
A bards job was as a philosopher and teacher, someone to pass on the knowledge throughout the land and down the generations. This was back before books etc and was often done in the form of music and poetry, back when oral tradition was how knowledge was gained and passed on, so i find it fitting that the person who is championing the whole bardcore thing is a Welshman, it’s a big part of the cultural heritage
That's the bards tragedy, in 3 parts like a play too
Each of these was an un-edited single shot. Tomorrow, May 4th, Ren's releasing "Animal Flow". If I understood correctly, he also did that as a single shot (multiple attempts before getting it right).
Great reaction ❤️
Ren really is a modern day Bard, his music and the story that he tells through are captivating. He has been a long time Busker in Brighton which really lends itself to the ability to connect with the audience in so many ways.
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
You have got to see Hi Ren and Chalk Outlines, and so much more.
Ren comes from Wales the home of the Bardd, along with the Eisteddfod, he was from Dwyran on the Isle of Anglesey (Ynys Mon) in North Wales.
Jenny had her mothers silence. Screech had his fathers violence.
It was a cold dark night in the LBC
On a mission trying to find mr warren g 😂
You are right, Ren has used the term 'Bardcore' for this style of music.
Nice reaction. Subbing! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Missing the the wind back and semi wind up of the guitar in Violet's tale can cause confusion.
Niceassociation with the bard in Witcher - this was Ren in bard mode, but he has many other attributes with his musicality and rapping skills.
Apparently Ren read a newspaper story about a young teen prostitute murdered during an attempted mugging, then an officer shot and killed the assailant who was also a young teen. Part of the lyrics are about the commanding officer being quoted as saying 'they were both so young, it's such a shame.'
There were teasers for the release of each video I think they were put out on Instagram, they included a 'Prologue:'
It was a cheerless night in London
It's always like that after a storm
The rain seized fire on it's siege on the capital
And rolled like teardrops down it's wall
It's as though the city was sobbing
Like this concrete kingdom weeps
For never, was there a story more tragic
Than the tale of Jenny and Screech
Then a short clip with sirens, feet pounding on pavement, a spoken sentence, and pounding on a door called 'Run, Screech, Run!'
*Sirens blaring*
[Spoken]
I'm fucked
*Knocking on a door*
The third was called 'Call For Backup:"
[Spoken: Officer Richard]
*Transceiver connects*
Any units in the area, please could you respond
I was assaulted by a minor, I had no choice, I drew my gun
We have a wounded Caucasian male, with four bullet wounds down
Please send an ambulance and back-up unit
Over and out
*Transceiver disconnects*
These are all tracks on the album(EP), but does not include the final part in the Trilogy of 'Violet's Tale.'
His best mate and gf both not answering....
Jenny wanted to escape at beginning of her tale, then at end i guess she escaped...
He is so intense. Great reaction. Thanks.
the internet says he‘s studied music performance at Bath Spa University. so he‘s indeed educated in this direction what explains his diverse musical abilities a bit more. maybe he hasn‘t finished and the rest is self-taught or self-taught before university? at least he‘s possibly got the tool from university to develop himself. also i think his mother had something to do with music if i remember rightly. so there might indeed have been some classical training, but who knows. in any case he most likely has been influenced by classically trained close persons.
He is like a medieval minstrel brought up to date. Masterpiece. When he was asked what style of music he called it "bardcore ". Ren is Welsh and there is a very traditional poetry competion for the bards chair.
He's the story teller of today.
I was at McDonalds contemplating this video and I read somewhere the inspiration for this happened over years. So that being said this story is one that stays with you so what accrued to me about this story was that Steve was probably the father of the twins which adds to the irony that Violet’s father was abusive then she went to Steve who was the same and she gave birth to Screach who was the final part of this sad legacy of violence 🙏
This was another very enjoyable reaction. This trilogy is another example of Ren's genius and a master's class in storytelling. It has been likened to a Shakespearean tragedy. As you pointed out, Ren describes his style of music as "bardcore," so comparing him to the bard of old is accurate.
Good spot with Jenny being a sex worker.
Ren wrote this after reading a newspaper story about a young sex worker murdered by a 14 year old robber who was later that day shot and killed by the police . The article talked about the robber but little about the victim - hence in his music he didn’t tell us much about Jenny.
The reason Screech doesn’t go far is he is 14 and his world isn’t that big, he is a lad from the Paddington area and his support system is small.
Then Violet is the tale of generational trauma and how the system is broken with children fall into the system and end up repeating cycles. Jenny is like Violet in how she deals trauma and Screech is like Stevie - however is it nature or nurture? We see the reflection of their parents but reality is that the system builds these as well. Boys often deal with fear through aggression and violence whilst traumatized girls may close down. It’s thing I saw as a London police officer time and time again - damaged children can become damaged parents and have damaged children, unless the cycle is stopped! I think the staircase in Jenny’s Tale represents the ongoing cycle.
Trust your instincts. You were the first reactor that I have seen who caught on to the fact that Jenny was a "street walker". And after Violet's Tale, you realize Jenny's story is even more tragic as she's a 14 year-old prostitute who has walked those "streets a thousand times before."
Ren has never had a guitar lesson. He has ADHD.. He taught himself in small increments.
The cycle of violence 😢
Dam bro your girl want you to learn his finger motions
😂
hes crazy good...thanks
Great reaction.. you caught a lot more than many reactors. I’d be super grateful if you would check out Ren - Crutch ft. Bibi. It’s an old one.. from when he was in the depths of his illness and was in a very dark place. Bibi was his girlfriend at the time. It’s so powerful and doesn’t get enough attention!! It deserves WAY more views than it has.
Big love from Australia. ❤️
In his Live shows he goes into more detail... like Jenny being a street walker, getting stopped by the cop Richard!
Also... Patrick doesn't answer because he's Busy with his girl... the one he calls, being told she's Busy!
He catches them... flips out... kills Jenny, then gets himeslf killed by the Cop, Richard, that his girl called when she got caught with Patrick!
There's more... but I'll save that... as I see him making part 4... Richard's Tale!
Maybe... Perhaps!?!
That would be great! I'd also like to see Stevie's tale where gets what he deserves for beating up Violet.. maybe a young Richard takes care of him!
I don't see Ren going that direction at all. It would be great to see the tales continued but I just don't see that happening. I have nothing to base that on so I don't know why I say that. It's just a gut feeling I guess. Perhaps this is where fanfiction could come in. You might consider taking your ideas and running with it. 🤷🏼♀️
what would be the point of Richards tale we have got everything out of this story, he wrapped it up in a perfect circle
Ren himself mentioned continuing with Richard's Tale! Still a possibility!
@charg1nmalaz0r51 if ya can't see any possibility of continuing the tales... you prolly didn't catch the twist as is!
Richard, Stevie, and Patrick all have the possibility of it! Especially since Ren himself said so!
A Bard for our times, for sure. Watch Money Game part 2, Crucify Your Culture, Chalk Outlines (the "studio"/official cut - not the live action one)--he's talking about the culture we're living in--just like a bard.
'Renspeare' the 21st century bard......Yes 'Bardcore' and i do get the Witcher reference and
he would make a great minstrel or bard character in a D & D TV series or movie .....Or a
Rapper in a Rap movie or any musical related project actually....lol
you had it the 1st time, Jenny was a street walker.
yes x
Let the RENaissance begin.
NEW SUB, JENNY WAS A HOOKER. PATRICK AND SCREECH'S GIRL WAS BUSY TOGETHER. REMOVE THE "N" FROM VIOLENT, WHAT REMAINS IS VIOLET. WHO KNOWS HOW LONG AGO SHE MOVED OUT BEFORE MEETING STEVIE S9 IS STEVIE THE TWINS DADDY OR GRAMPS?
Ren is a next level GENIUS 🕊
Ren is 🔥
NOW you get it, lol
He’s a genius.
Jenny was a prostitute. When Ren says things like, “she walked this floor, 1000 times before, she was a statue in high heels, and most importantly, she just wanted to escape, can you blame?“ All these things are references to her being a prostitute.
Screech killed his sister but did not know it
The reason patrick from number 54 is not there, is likely the same reason screech his gf is "busy" ? Anyway great reaction! Loved it alot. Keep up the great content
I’m not sure how you guys did not pick up on Screech killing Jenny in the first part. Seemed to be pretty clear. I think that is what happens when people try to read what’s happening instead of actually listening to the lyrics. Ren speaks pretty clearly. You do not need the subtitles. Also you miss what’s going on in the video if you’re focusing on text.
Jordan & Amanda React that is a great analogy of Ren being a bard in his past life. The Witcher rocks BTW. Jordan would love it.
He is a hard core Bard BardCore.
Shining light on the tragedy of social issues like sexual abuse and generational violence.
SCREECH KILLED HIS SISTER
I hope you guys are brother & sister.
she was a lady of the night. youre first impression was right
Check out his band The Big push, they do I Shot the Sheriff Road to Zion and Hip-Hop live on the streets of Brighton it's absolutely fantastic!
Right over their heads. lol well one head
2 untold stories within the Tales:
Yes, Jenny was a prostitute
Patrick was not home for the very same reason why Screech's girlfriend was "busy"
When you realise Jenny is 14 too it makes you question a 14 year old girl wearing high heels.
A fourteen year old girl in high healed shoes? She might have been a prostitute.
And maybe the reason Patrick didn't answer the door and screech's girlfriend was busy is because they were together and that sent screech off the deep end?
👍🤟🔥
Ren call this style Bardcore and here's the origin story of the trilogy 🤩😁🤯
This wasn't originally a trilogy story. Ren read in the paper one day with a small article about a 14 yr old boy killing a young prostitute in an attempted robbery and then being shot and killed by the police later that evening. It disturbed him, so he set out to write a commentary on not just senseless violence, but on how desensitized we are in today's society. This wasn't big news, it wasn't even front page, being buried somewhere 0n pg.6 or 7. The main example of this is in the words he ends both Jenny and Screech's Tales with "It's such a Shame". We say these words all to often and just move on without a second thought. The article quoted the lead inspector at the scene say " So Young, Its such a shame" shaking his head, he walked away.
Violets Tale was written over 2 years later adding another layer of commentary by Ren. Not only generational violence but making us think of how both these lives be so cursed. Born out of violence on the same day and then both killed with brutal violence on the same night. Also, his lyrics have multiple meanings if read in between the lines you'll more then likely hear something that'll make you think. Here's an example of things that made me go Hmm...🤔🤔
Example: Jenny has the same traits as her mother Violet, quiet, voiceless, and timid. Where as Screech mirrors his father Stevie in every way, Loud, obnoxious, and easily prone & provoked to violence. They didn't know one another and had never met their biological parents. Yet, what made these kids so much like their parents? Was it simply Nature, inherited traits in their genetic make-up or Nurture, being brought up in the broken system of broken children?
Love your channel, Cheers 🥂
It's time to review 'Money Game pts 1&2'. Part 2 contains the 'She Sells Seashells' Easter Egg mentioned in HI Ren
Ren never actually described himself as bardcore, it was a name people watching this video gave him and he kinda liked it.
🔥Great reaction!! I'm a new sub after watching you last Ren reaction. Jenny was a working girl, Patrick wasn't home and Screech's girlfriend was busy,, where do you think Patrick was? So I loved your reaction but please turn off the captions, hes not usually hard to understand and I think it takes away from getting the whole impact of the piece. Welcome to the rabbit warren! As a further watch, not being fans of Rap I would recommend Genesis for your first foray into the Rap genre. Then carry on... Cherrs.
