Yay! First comment! Let me be the first then to welcome you to the Ren-gades. 😊 Like many of us, Ren has left you in awe of his talent, honesty and vulnerability with this masterpiece and hopefully captured your attention to discover more of his art bc this guy is not a one hit wonder!
For a little info on him let me start by stating that this video was recorded as a 'live one take' (after around 4 attempts) something he has become quite known for doing. I'm glad u noticed the lights and how they changed. Did u also notice the shadows on the floor and on his face? Did you see that the light on the 'bad side' was bold, big and standing right in front, whereas the lamp on the 'good side l' was small and tucked away in a little corner? The room itself represents 'Ren's mind; dilapidated and run down. Now there is a reason for this. Unfortunately, when Ren was around 17 he got 'discovered' busking and got signed to a big label. Ren was ecstatic and thought he finally made his childhood dreams come true. Unfortunately, he soon became ill and as time went on got progressively worse until they parted ways and the contract was no more. After many negative tests, Drs decided Ren's ailment must be in his head and he got misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and manic depression among other things. As a result he received a lot of wrong medication that just aggrevated his condition to the point of suffering psychosis as he mentions here. Unfortunately, it took around 10 years of suffering extreme pain and fatigue (among other symptoms) to discover that he actually had Lyme's Disease but by then the disease has progressed affecting his organs including his brain and his immune system. At his worst Ren spent 23hs a day in bed and couldn't even stand in a shower bc of the excruciating pain. And this is how he spent most of his 20s, watching the World go by while he suffered. Thankfully, he has recently been having treatment for his condition in Calgary, Canada, where he is now and doing much better. Despite all this, Ren never stopped writing music and recently released an album which actually got to #1 here in the UK a couple of weeks or so ago...one heck of an achievement especially considering Ren is completely independent and most of his videos are made on a shoestring budget. He taught himself to play the guitar and I believe the piano too plus he plays other instruments such as drums and bass as well as composing and producing his music too.
I hope my comment was helpful and apologies for being so long but i really do hope you decide to react to more. My recommendation for the next video is Sick Boi which will give you more insight into what I've explained above. Subbing in the hope to hear more❤
Wow. Thank you for such a great comment. What a sad and beautiful story. He is an amazing artist and cant wait to hear more from him. Do you have any recommendations? cheers
@@AudioLunch You could dive into the Tale of Jenny and Screech then follow it up with Violet's Tale but to be honest, it's all amazing.
Hello from Canada! Perfect comment. I discovered Ren about late Feb and my hubby and I STILL can't stop listening to him almost daily.
@@AudioLunch If you do "The Tale of Jenny & Screech", make sure you do the full "Official Music Video" version. It's actually three videos (although one isn't listed in the title) that are available individually as "Jenny's Tale", "Screech's Tale", and "Violet's Tale", but you really do need to see/react to them together. All three are also live recording and continuous-shot videos done with his friend Samuel Perry-Falvey.
@@AudioLunch Right now, his new album is #1 in the UK, I think it's #11 in the US... a guy who's been in Canada for the last 6 months or so getting stem cell treatments from the damage misdiagnosed Lyme Disease did to his brain and body as referenced in this song. No label, just him with his friends making astounding music and videos. Need to check out "Money Games" 1-3. That's his latest videos and has a bit more budget. "Hi Ren" was done for about $1000 in his landlord's basement without permission. "Tale of Jenny and Screech" and "Violet's tale" also done on change and are amazing story telling. Ren is a master of rap, self taught guitarist, makes his own beats since he was about 12, added other talents and skills as needed. He's been through the wringer medically and it's astounding he's still alive... much less one of the most respected musicians out there at the moment. He has a huge back catalog of work you can dive as deep as you want into... none of it sucks.
Welcome to the wonder that is REN. He's a master of 1 take audio/video's and he breaks rules (as easily as he broke the 4th wall). He is self taught so he doesn't worry about "correct" only that it's right for what he's trying to express. His cult... I mean fans... are fiercely loyal, protective and welcome all opinions as long as they are sincere and without malice. If you do more Ren, we'll be here. We can't watch him again for the 1st time so we enjoy watching others find out what we already know. He's a rare, deep, thoughtful musical poet.
What a rare artist. We will for sure watch more by him. Thanks for the great comment
Well said.
Check out The Tale of Jenny and Screech and Violets Tale (a trilogy) best done together..., Chalk Outlines, Money Game 1,2,&3 if you have the time, together would be cool.
Your delight in Hi Ren was contagious: a roller coaster ride of astonishment and appreciation. Well done, and i believe your Ren Rabbit Hole journey will result in a musical enlightenment beyond expectation.
Yes, Wasn't expecting that. So thankfully we were able to finally come across his amazing art
Ren is a beautiful human who now has a huge community of people from all over the world.
And yes, he also happens to be a genius.
Stay in his rabbit hole guys ❤
absolutely! He is such an amazing artist can wait to hear more from him. any recommendations?
@@AudioLunch Follow up with Sick Boi, the name of his new #1 album in the UK late Oct/23. It's a perfect follow up to Hi Ren.
@@AudioLunchthere is so much!
Sick Boi
How to be Me and Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla

For Joe
Su1cide
and so much more.
He is so talented across so many genres
@@mixy5179agreed
Don't forget to listen to the full version of Jenny and Screech, in order. You've never seen anything like it. Can't wait for more of your Ren reactions ❤️
This reaction was a delight to watch. Very “kid at Christmas” expressions on your faces - thanks for sharing!
Enjoy the ride! 😁💜
Thank you for watching, cant wait to experience more by him.
This information gives you some background on Ren and puts much of his music and performance art in perspective. I gathered the information from old newspaper interviews, articles, and Ren's public livestreams and posts. All the information here was gathered exclusively from sources Ren personally approved for public release.
Ren is a Welsh independent artist, musician, producer, and mostly self-taught multi-instrumentalist. He 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, which eventually caused him to discontinue his studies and return home. In addition, Ren was signed by Sony Records in 2010 and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point that he was unable to go on; consequently, his contract with Sony was dissolved. Ren would later relocate to Brighton.
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 undergoing treatments. 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, and adrenals as well as his bones/joints. Hence, Ren is receiving additional treatments for this previously undiagnosed condition. He recently took a break from treatments and returned to the UK to visit family and friends, and to produce some very ambitious musical projects which he just released. 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's channel; he is an artist with something to say to the world, and his work is important in these troubling times.
Hello friend
Hi Jens, You're saving us the trouble again.😊 Thanks. Hope you are well.✌
❤
Thank you for the great comment. His story is sad and beautiful at the same time. He is an amazing artist. Very rare. We are excited to experience more of him. Thanks you
🥰
Ren did a couple of collaborations with Chinchilla also. Their voices are magic together, so look out for How to be Me (live) and Chalk Outlines with the 2 of them.
Yours was one of the most genuine and honest I have seen in a while. Thanks for sharing this moment with us. I look forward to hearing what you have to say about his other masterpieces.
Folks already said it all, just one more thing from me: please do not edit to cut it short, we want to hear your thoughts, that is why we came here. So... fire away, and do not mind the clock.
I enjoyed your reaction very much, so thank you, gentlemen!
Welcome to the wonderful world of ren! Where things you thought not possible become possible and the only genre he needs is "ren". Its truly amazing. Subbed in hopes of more ren! 😊💜💜🐷
thank you for the great comment. We would love to review for Ren. we a total fans now. cheers!
Welcome to the world of Ren! Genre doesn't define him... anything you pick to react to will not disappoint! I'm sure you'll get tons of recs from us Renagades!! Great reaction! Subbed.
Awesome! so thankfully to finally start the Ren journey
I am so glad Ren is really starting to be known,enjoined and appreciated in the U.S. I'm a New Yorker who discovered this remarkable artist about a year ago,this man is so so so talented and has ability to bring out emotions in listener's like no one I've ever heard. I'm a 52 year old music junkie as well.He independently was able with no shows or promotion besides social media he reached #1 in the u.k. with the release of sic Boi. His catalog is remarkable. You are in for a extremely versatile, talented, lyrical master, of a artist that if continues to put out art he's displayed so far,I 30 years he will be in the conversation of G.O.A.T.If he chooses he could make a great living as a actor as well.Spread the experience. Nice to meet you and so glad you discovered ren. RICKY MARTIN (haha not that one)queensbury, New York
Welcome to Ren,enjoy the ride,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Subscribing to follow you on the the Ren-adventure, because it's a RIDE.
Thank you. We are excited for more
Off of the strength of this Video and its power to introduce so many people to his music, that little Indi Album he threw together, Just Hit #1 on the UK Charts 2 weeks ago!! Beating out Rick Astley for the spot in a head to head competition in the final 24hrs before the charts released!!
Check out More From REN!!!
That is awesome! Cant wait to check out more his music. we are now fans.
Ren is phenomenal! He breaks the barriers for all genres of music!
Welcome! As musicians you'll find this only the beginning of constant surprises and reaffirming "this guy is special."
For background on him as a person, Jens has already provided their excellent synopsis.
But I also highly recommend watching his interviews with Justin Hawkins, Knox Hill, Rosalie Reacts, The Charismatic Voice, Chris Liepe etc. Some contain musical "spoilers" so keep that in mind if you're wanting to have blind reactions to other songs by him.
Nevertheless, us Renegades welcome you. He's been life changing for most of us, and his reach transcends age, politics, genre preferences, culture etc
Great info. Thanks. So excited that Ren has made it our way. He truly is special. Cant watch experience more of him. Cheers
I will just add to what my fellow RENnegades have commented that I hope you realise that ground breaking though "Hi Ren" is, it is just the tip of a Titanic sized iceberg. Ren is his own genre generally referred to as Bardcore. Thanks for your joyful reaction and welcome aboard.
Thank you for the great comment. And we are ready for more. What an artist!
Recorded live, and this is all one take (they did do it 4 times, but they chose this entire last full take for the video). I have been watching reactions to this song for 2 days straight and yours did not disappoint! Great video. Earned my sub!
oh, be sure to check out The Hunger where he shows that he's also an unbelievable rapper and beat boxer.
Thank you for the comment and recommendation. Cant wait
He is our beautiful genius and that was a glorious reaction to this masterpiece
Hope to see you both again exploring the always surprising creative music of this artist 🎶💛
Indeed. What are excited for more. Thank you
Welcome to Ren. That was a one take live performance, completely recorded in the moment. Good luck boys. You’re never getting off the Ren train now
Amazing!
Dudes, why don’t you guys have millions of subs. The energy you guys give off while reacting is so contagious I feel like I’m sat in the room. Love it.
Welcome to the RENegades! Part of the secret of Ren's success is that he encourages people to make reaction videos & he used to comment on all of them, but that would be a full-time job these days. I've added this video to my Hi Ren reactions playlist & it's no. 740. I still find more new & old ones every day.
RENegades... Engage! We needed some kind of call to arms! Wicked reactions Brothas! The 🎢 down the Ren 🐇 🕳️ goes deep! Pure artist. Nothing else like him. Andrew Lloyd Webber is calling out his Money Game 3 video. Mixes beats, produces, guitar, little bit of drums, piano and could seriously tune a fish. Everything.Take your time and have a wicked blast. I'll sub to see more. Ren has a huge bag of tricks. Try "The Hunger". It's a complete 180 from Hi Ren. You will never ever get the same thing twice. He does reuse bars but in all different kinds of context. He has wicked knowledge of the English language too. A wordsmith. I'm sure the rest of the details will be listed in your comments. Enjoy!
Awesome. Thank you for the recommendation. Cheers
i keep coming back to reaction of this master piece is something beyond even music .....this is a "picasso" as you said xD cheers ! and big up to ren for not giving up and make something great of his struggles and finding that talent inside and helping others to follow that path
How does everyone find Ren reactions before me? Great job guys you got a sub. Ski boi is next.
Thanks!
This was by far one of the best reactions I've seen to this song!! Watching you get so absorbed into the video and be so amazed by Ren's endless talent brought me so much joy!!
Please react to more by him, i guarantee you'll love more songs from him!
And bonus info: he's officially number 1 on the UK chart with his album Sick Boi!
I highly recommend checking out the songs: *The Tale Of Jenny and Screech* (FULL version, prepare yourself for a rollercoaster), *Money Game* (part 1, 2 and he recently released the 3rd and final part, which was an absolute masterpiece), Sick Boi, Su*cide -the list goes on honestly. Any of these, but especially The Tale Of Jenny and Screech, would be great to react to after Hi Ren!
Enjoy the ride and thank you for this awesome energy you brought! :)
What a beautiful reaction! Ren is truly next level and there is so much more of his music to explore. No two songs are the same, no two performances fall into predictable patterns. From the minute I heard Hi Ren, I felt like someone was speaking for me in a way that I couldn't express myself. Watched this video so many times and I always get goosebumps at least once during the performance. I do hope you'll do more reactions to his music. So many good suggestions in the comments. Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole!
Welcome to the world of Ren! Loved your reaction and hope to see more. We are known as "renegades'" and will help you with any info you need to travel down the rabbit hole! I suggest your next video should be The Rakes if Jenny, Screech and Violets tale (fill version).
Thank you! You are so nice. Excited about your recommendations . Cheers
Awesome! Thanks for the recommendation
This was a live audio recording with a single lavalier microphone. During Ren's interview with The Charismatic Voice, he says he gained a LOT of experience by producing the recordings of The Big Push busking videos and my have to adjust note-for-note in some sections (like when he turns his head away or toward the mic). This is just scratching the surface of the Ren rabbit hole. I'll sub to join you on your journey.
His album "Sick Boi" just released #1 in the U.K. and on the Billboard Top 200 albums. He did it without a record label, without a tour, without radio play or promotion beyond social media/TH-cam while he was in Canada with an I.V. in his arm 5 days a week getting treatment for the damage done by his illnesses and (hopefully) preventing further damage. Guitarist, pianist, and a few more instruments - singer, rapper, beatboxer, producer, actor (in his videos), songwriter, poet/lyricist, and whatever else you can think of, Ren will continue to surprise you.
His friend Samuel Perry-Falvey was the cinematographer on this and many of Ren's videos. They didn't have permission to use this location and just as they were ready to start recording, the landlord told them to leave. After much begging, they were able to get in 4 attempts. He's a king of guerilla video shoots - something like this may have cost about 500 pounds.
Yesss. Please more Ren. ❤❤❤
Can’t wait to watch you discover REN’s catalog! New sub here!!❤
This reaction just got you a new fan!! I just subbed! Looking forward to more of your Ren reactions.🎶🔥✌
Thank you! We are excited about more Ren as well! Cheers
Chalk Outlines, the live performance video not the lyric video. You will love it
Nice! Thanks for the recommendation
Its so wonderful seeing your reaction and joy. I stumbled across REN about 5 weeks ago, I’m 67 years of age and bemoaned todays music like all old people seem to, REN and his body of work restored my faith in the power of new music and its capability to touch and inform people. Your joint reaction warmed me. 🙏 thank you for it❤
That is great! Ren is truly special. Thanks for the great comment. Cheers
The look of fascination in your eyes-is the reason I’ve watched sooo many of these. 65 and still trying to learn Ren songs,so I really appreciate your musical background as well.Great job guys.
I've watched so many reactions to this song, and EVERY TIME he gets to his "stand on my own two feet" verse, I get chills, everytime. And you guys are so right, this transcends being a "song" and is full blown "art"
Welcome to the Ren Rabbit Hole. Enjoy your ride. His fans are loyal and true. Please look through his catalogue and react. I suggest Ren and Chinchilla Chalked Outlines live and How to be Me live. Enjoy :)
REN is all about performance art. And meaning. Great reaction ❤
Great to see your reaction as musicians and story tellers. HI Ren is a brilliantly structured and told piece. 'Bard Core' with shades of Shakespearian structure, storytelling, humor, biting sarcasm, iambic meter et al So many elements showing that Ren during his process through hardships and illness was always when he was able and even when he was not able, refining his craft. I'm sure you will be discovering more. HIs 'Big Push' work you know a bit, but you will see it differently now that you have said 'hi to Ren'...welcome to the REN egades...remembering and feeling that we are human and offering our best and when we fall short or are in the dark...reaching out for the hope full side...
I never get tired of watching Hi REN for the first time.
great reaction! There is a lot of deep songs, fun songs, cheeky songs from Ren that you should check out. The Renegades are sure to show up for it if you do! I'd be interested to see what you think of Chalk Outlines by Ren x Chinchilla
Welcome to the Ren Rabbit hole, Ren will blow your mind with his music!
Your awe and excitement was a joy to watch! I think you really understood the song and recognize the unbelievable talent. I hope you jump down the Ren rabbit hole with the rest of us!
Tale of Jenny & Screetch, and Violets tale, a trilogy so watch the vidoe with all three, as they were not all released at the same time.
Its another great performance piece, and well worth watching, if just for the many difference musical styles and elements he had knitted together ❤️
I loved the hand on the shoulder at the beginning - "Buckle up brother"
love your reaction, Ren is genius and is raw concentrated talent. Ren has done something no other musician or band has ever done, for me at least, he has evoked emotional and physiological response. I have been in awe, stunned, silent reverence, cried, laughed, chills, danced, restored my hope, put me back to a path of healing, shown me the power and importance of unity, leaving me in a safe place. all this from a man I have never met.
I used to laugh at the film clips of women at Beatles or Elvis concerts crying.....now I get it. those clips always showed people of the same age. Ren once he is able to do a "tour" (I suspect that will have a whole new experience and meaning to) the RENegades will be every age....I know you will feel the energy of the crowd miles before you hit the parking lot!
I also feel that people who live near the venues that he chooses, whether they know of Ren or not, will pick up on that energy ~ I am betting there will be many, many random acts of kindness just from being in proximity to those vibes!
looking forward to meeting my fellow RENegades in person!
all the best to you & yours!
♥️🎶🙏🎶♥️
what a brilliant comment. i too often thought what idiots those youngkids screaming and crying at people like elvis and the beatles, but i will admit as an eighty year old young-at -heart man i would be crying my eyes out if i could ever go to a ren concert. for me it gives hope that this world isn't as bad as the news would make us seem. when you read the comments left on reactors comment section what other artist has helped fix and save so many lives. someone suggested the nobel peace prize and i agree, also the macarthur genius grants.
Buckle up. Ren is a wild ride. Keep diving down the rabbit hole.
Love watching people show hi ren when they have seen it. You’re hilarious with your eye rolls and gestures.
Ren IS an absolute Genius. Everything he writes is insanely good. Great job fellas.
Love watching yall react to Ren ...he is versitle, you never know what he will do next but you will always know it will be done well ...his music is smart and quirky and you just cant help but to love it ... Youre gonna have fun going down the Ren Rabbit Hole.
Hi Ren is a rare masterpiece but his other atuff wont disappoint.
My recommendations:
Tale of Jenny & Screech (full trilogy)
Sic Boi
Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla (the live version, not the one with lyrics as video)
Hunger
Animal Flow (original &acustic version)
Illist
Murdered (original & acustic versions)
Power
One of my favorites is Humble but no one ever does a reaction to it (hint) also Bongo Bongo and the Big Push misic is great too
I'm sure youll get many more recommendations from others too.
Truly loved yalls reaction. Its so great to watch someone see the genius and art of Hi Ren for the first time.
Il6l be here for other Ren reactions
Peace
✌️
Thank for the great comment. Excited about your recommendations too. Cheers
More Ren please. His art must be shared :) great reaction
Three minutes in and they’ve already noticed the lights. This’ll be a good heartfelt reaction I’m sure
I discovered Ren in Feb 2023 and have watched thousands of reaction… this song STILL makes me get goosebumps and cry. It is an incredible piece of art! I loved watching your reaction! I subbed and will be going through your reactions. The Ren rabbit hole is deep and filled with beauty, sadness, hope and fun. He is my favorite artist and he surrounds himself with talented people. I see you did his collabs with chinchilla… off to see if you have discovered his song Blind Eyed ( best version is music crowns live ) with Sam Tompkins….if not, do yourself a favor, and check it out… You will absolutely love it
That's the best "Ren face" I've seen for a while!
I love how he opens it with "performer Ren", with the vocalisations and then by the end he closes again going back to performer Ren, having won out against his shadow... for the time being.
Loved the look on your faces from the very start. I've subbed to see you discover Ren, you've such a treat ahead of you guys. He doesn't miss, ever
Every time you listen to another Ren song you will be surprised.
Every. Time.
You will think at least you'll be braced for the surprise - but NOPE! No one *ever* is.
😍 Loved this reaction ... Ren is so relatable but clearly this song was directly connect to you.
What an authentic reaction! Ren’s music is healing, resonant, educational, enlightening…exquisite. I can’t wait to watch your journey down the Ren Rabbit Hole. 🙌💖😇
Thank you. We cant wait either
Been watching Ren from a far. These series of videos have brought Ren to my home! I don't listen to rap yet his rhymes brings me peace. I can relate to so much of what he says. This is special. He could do a concert like this. keeps me on the edge of my seat....most unique.
Ren recently did an interview on The Zach Sang Show, I recommend watching it. He doesn't hold back on what he has been through and it puts into perspective what he has managed to achieve....
Haha! Love it! - You guys got a wild ride ahead of you.
I'm sure you've got dozens of suggestions - mine would be "The Tale of Jenny and Screech". It's a trilogy of songs, and a modern day Shakespearian tragedy set in the mean streets of London. It'll blow you away .
Storytelling.
Vulnerability.
Honesty.
Since the beginning of time (stories painted on cave walls), we've resonated with those stories which have all three.
Every so often, a person comes along and exponentially advances and re-invents all three.
A force multiplier, if you will.
That's Ren.
The fist bumps are endearing. My kind of people!
My first comment about this was, Performance Art. ❤
totally!
And NOW, he got the #1 spot on the album chart in the UK!!! He's come far and deserves it all.
Ren and his music and his whole world are so easy to love. Really enjoyed watching your reaction. Have a great day!
Ren is an amazing artist❤his music.His Sick Boi Album is on another level...thanks guys appreciate you.
We cant wait to check it out. Thank you for watching.
Welcome to the Ren journey!! Enjoy the ride!! He don’t have an ok song, he is very good!
Great reaction.
Welcome to the RENaissance!!!
I just found you as a renagade I can’t understand how I missed you!!! 😮 so I have been bingeing your Ren reaction so good! 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥welcome down the Ren🐇🕳️
Welcome! And Thank you! Cheers to Ren 🍻
Guys! I loved your reaction. Especially as serious musicians. It looks like I got lucky and found you. This was the song that made me a 70 year-old Ren fan. Subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you so much and thanks for the great comment
Welcome to the rabbit hole of REN!
Ren is therapy for so many from one song he helps so many people open up in ways therapists struggle to do in person.
First time i watched Hi Ren i had a panic attack but thought i needed to watch it again so i watched someone reacting to it
that was the best thing i could do i have watched many times since. One thing i think about this song is it needs to be seen
by every one even in schools after a certain age, because how many children kill themselves because of the negativity
towards them from nasty comments and bullying to them believing what is said. I went through hell, bullied all through
school to the point i attempted suicide twice, and to many issues in my life since then I am a recovering alcoholic 11 years
clean I suffer PTSD and other health issues so the majority of bad days over good is high, if this bullying had been dealt
with i may have had a reasonable life not the existence i have to deal with now
The tale of jenny and screech full version - you will be astounded
Another reaction. Another GOOD reaction !!!
I have watched hundreds. Special is correct.
Special.
This is such an incredible song and performance! Really enjoyed your reaction ❤❤
You made me feel like i was watching it for the first time again. I thought i was done crying when i hear this song 😂
Loved your reactions guys, can’t wait to ride the Ren train with you while you discover the almost impossible depths of his talent 🙏🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I found Ren this time last year. I'm still choppin onions. He's an international treasure.
The crazy thing that was also just one live take. He doesn't even tap his foot!
Such a great reaction omg! The dropped jaws with the cheeky smiles of excitement cuz you’re like did I just hear what I heard?! Where is this going holy shit…. Loved it!
Champion reaction guys. Into the realms of Bard-Core.
I just found you guys yesterday, through my own love of watching peeps react to Ren. This was classic, and I love all your reactions!
Matt - I just wanted to say one thing though - I don't know if you've ever had some sort of severe anxiety disorder... if you have, I am glad that "learning to calm down ... relax" worked for you. Yes, we do all battle with our own anxieties, but you are wrong when you say "they can be controlled when you learn to relax". That is just not true for people with anxiety disorders, and it feels like you're putting the blame on them for not being able to manage it themselves.
Definitely touched home. My life I hate but for some reason ren made me feel great. Thanks to him I’m alive
Edited to add that I loved your reaction. Subscribed! Someone may have already mentioned in the comments, but the line where his dark side mocks him saying, "She sells sea shells by the sea shore." is from one of his earlier songs, Money Game Part 2 (one of my favorite Ren songs). He just dropped Money Game Part 3 maybe a month ago, and if you thought this one-take video was amazing, wait until you see Money Game Part 3. If you watch all 3 in order you'll really get a sense of how much he's learned and grown. You've started an incredible journey and as musicians you'll be able to appreciate every moment.
You really don’t know what you’ve let yourselves into . Enjoy the ride, Ren will blow your mind again and again
First view of the channel. I've loved Ren since first hear and am so glad he and his crew topped the UK as independent artists. His one shots are so dam well done (let us not neglect the many rehearsals needed to make any theatrical performance top) and his live busking is soooo uplifting. Sub'd halfway though. Looking to work back down your posts. This energy is real. Thank you!!! **i think it takes someone who is a "creative" like you both to really see this in real time... your reactions were so damn spot on of "yeah... i've been here". My greatest writings are from twisted moments. our smooth lines are comforting, but our jagged edges make us interesting.
Ren is amazing. We are so glad we finally found him. Thanks for the sub and for the great comment. Cheers
Special is an understatement. I honestly believe his talent is a once in a generation gift.
I am now following you because of your wonderful, wide-eyed amazement at the generational talent of Ren Gill. I am looking forward to watching you continue to discover more of his music. BTW, his new album, Sick Boi, is number one in the UK.
Yay and our community just got bigger! Welcome to his fan base :)
New sub here from Arizona, I'm here for any and all Ren reactions. As a 53 year old music lover my whole life, Ren has reconfigured my mind for the better and REN-EWED my heart & soul by making me really hear music for the 1st time in my life! Great reaction! 😊 What a wonderful journey awaits you!
I’ve always said , this is a modern day new version of bohemian rhapsody and Stan. Genius

Love you guys,, here we go. You'll never be the same.
Ren's album sic boi recently hit #1 in the U.K. totally independent not being able to tour as he's spent most of the year being treated for his auto immunity years of being prescribed the wrong medications being told it's in his head to after years hes had lyme disease. I've watched many interviews with ren but if you really want to know his struggles his interview with the charismatic voice Elizabeth is a world renown opera singer who specializes in breaking down the voice but she was great at finding out how rens history of health issues and thinking he thought his opportunity had passed him by also his interviews with Dustin Hawkins an Knox Hill , Black Pegasus. Among others are very insightful. Ren blew everyone away in 2023 an it couldn't have happened to a more deserving individual everyone who hasn't support rens music if you can 🙂
