When you guys see Ren's The Tale Of Jenny and Screech (full) it's gonna blow your minds. It's a trilogy that you have to see in order, so make sure it's the full version.
You can never ever “expect” anything Ren does. That’s why we love him. Try Bongo Bong with his ban The Big Push. They do a street performance off I Shot The Sheriff/Road to Zion/ Hip Hop that is excellent sound quality
Blind Eyed like @fourcomersofbrighton said is amazing. In terms of covers, there's a ton but I personally love their cover version of "Earned It / Mans World / Falling"
Welcome to the world of Ren. I just went through his whole catalog on Spotify along with everything he's done with his band Big push. What an amazing artist. He made this old man a fan. Peace ✌️
Brilliant reaction. I have been watching Ren busking in Brighton (UK) for seven years and he is never less than captivating. He has many videos showing his beautiful voice but Chalk Outlines is one of my favourites. I hope you will continue on your Ren journey. It's an exciting ride!
oh my my , i was hesitant to listen to more REN because hi ren was so amazing , but this is on a level of its own , i,m scared to be well . THAT WAS ME FOR SO MANY YEARS ! tears again ren and chinchila xxx
As a serious mental health sufferer there's a line in this masterpiece that answers the title.chinchilla says take a pill and the feeling goes and walk around the chalk outline,basically the drugs make you dead inside so even though your physically alive you are in essence completely dead and numb
In the gallows, I stand on my toes so that I can breathe. That line gets me every time. I think we can all relate to that feeling of when things get super overwhelming and you're just trying to keep breathing.
Beside these solo projects and with some collaborations, check out Ren and his band The Big Push. He can sing anything and play anything also. Incredible talent.
This boy can do it all ive never seen or heard someone so talented just hope his health is getting better i know he in canada getting help.LOVE TO YOU REN BRO
Ren spent so long being misdiagnosed and trying to cope with his illness, that it felt like he was walking around with a signal of his own death following him. That’s how I interpret it, that and the immediate feeling of being in a space where you’ve lost yourself like you say, and you can view yourself outside your body, like you saw yourself as the victim of the crime scene. Just the day to day of being medicated and how jagged the path from illness to wellness can be. Thanks for this, I was interested to see how Asia felt about Chinchilla as a female vocalist. I think she’s really great. Check out her solo stuff; it’s as loud and colorful as Ren is NOT, but just as savage. (I’d start with Fingers).
Certain artists have this uncanny ability to draw from their heartaches, struggles and pain and show it in their art. And damn Ren has had more than his fair share and it changes the character of his voice. Without knowing any of his backstory you could tell he's young (well much younger than me) but he's been through it. and no matter how tough the subject matter gets, you take hope from the fact he's still able to perform.
Tears... just tears. Tears of regret, tears of joy. I reached out to the one I tried to destroy. Strange thing is, that person is me. A scared lil boy living in my memory. Hi Asia, BJ, and the gang. How special is this guy and his message?
If you want to hear him singing check out him busking with Sam Tomkins. Sam is a lovely singer but Ren really explodes in this th-cam.com/video/d8nBzrhd8Ro/w-d-xo.html
"It's such a perfect day. Take it just in case." "I scared of being ok because all things change." Anyone who deals with a chronic illness (or multiple) like myself and Ren understands these thoughts on a deep level.
Yes on the word for word bc I have lyme disease 🦠 and some other autoimmune conditions and been thru similar conditions and fights he has been thru. This is exactly how you feel, like the walking dead. I’ve been bedridden for nearly a year and struggling to live; But to hear someone actually say what I feel gives me some hope. God bless Ren and ty for doing Ren reactions bc it finally gives me a voice
“in the gallows, balanced on my toes, so I can breathe”. Hits so damn hard.. gallows being where you’d be hanging sentences to death in front of the crowds back in very old times..
You can see Ren with his band "The Big Push" He does a lot of Cover Songs. Kinda gives you a different look at his talents. He does Black Sabbath, Bob Marley etc.
Thank you for such a real, honest to God reaction, you hit the nail right on the head when you said people need to hear this kind of song, maybe then they will realise they might have been going about things in the wrong manner and change the direction of their lives. Power like this really can make a difference in people's lives and help them out of a deep dark place when they are lost.
If you want to hear him rap rap check out Ren’s “The Hunger”. And definitely check out his trilogy “The Tale of Jenny & Screech (full)” - story telling at it’s finest.
Along with the Jenny & Screech trilogy, How to be Me, Blind Eyed, Sick Boi please try Money Game pt1&2, Power, Humble, Genesis (acoustic version) anything with The Big Push . Such a talented and eclectic artist there is so much to discover
You guys are great! I really enjoy watching your reactions. Old man fan! This song really reaches me. My kids have all struggled with mental health issues and music like this helps me to connect with them.
REN's voice carries so much soul! It's a soul filled to the brim with a lifetime of suffering, add a genius level of a creative mind to that? Yeah it's very heavy stuff. REN got some really good up-beat songs too though! He is an incredible artist of the likes i haven't seen before.
I just found this dude the other day and went down a rabbit hole. He’s phenomenal, if you want a more “fun” less serious song check out What You Want it’s a throw back to old school Hip Hop(specifically The Beastie Boys).
when he‘s singing the line „hiding himself behind a big smile“ it always reminds me of freddie mercury‘s „my make-up may be flaking but my smile still stays on“ in „the show must go on“.
If you want to hear another side to ren check out his work in the band : "The Big Push" and a cover mash up called "I shot the sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop" You will see how he performs on the street
Ren reaches out to us all and reminds us what it is to be human. I've heard him described as a Swiss Army Knife Artist, which just about sums up his limitless diverse talents.
Notice how they're both wearing microphones?... its cuz this isn't a regular music video, it's a live performance that just looks like a music video... that makes it 100× more amazing!
Ren performs he is a true modern Bard. He's going thru treatment in Canada I can empathize autoimmune illnesses has crippled me over last 30 yrs. Chronic pain changes you. I hope his treatment will help. The world needs his artistry. The big push - bandmates and him. I shot the sheriff. All amazing musicians and anyone tat wants to help go to rens community for updates
The chalk outlines are symbolic of how the medication erases who you are killing the life within you leaving just a chalk outline, that numb existence becomes so comforting and even if you are having a good day still take the medication from fear of living again!
Definately check out The Tale Of Jenny and Screech (full) amazing story telling! make sure you do the full version, best watched one after the other in order
Asia & BJ I love your heartfelt reaction and uplifting energy!! I'm a subscriber now after listening to your Hi Ren & Chalk Outlines reactions. Everything Ren does seems to bring people together from so many walks of life and all age groups from all across the world. Thank you for spreading such a positive message and promoting this a once in a lifetime talent; Ren, the Ren-aissance man!! 🥰
That is a beautiful song, very poignant. Perfection. Thanks for your reaction on this tune. All the best to you both. Ain't love grand, if your lucky enough to be blessed in meeting the right one
Fantastic song guys. Please can you do a reaction to Sydney Youngblood "If only I could" one of my favourite artists from the 80s, or if its not popular enough then Terrence Trent D'arby "If you let me stay". Terrence Trent D'arby is one of the best known musicians from that era. I would say his talent is a cross between Michael Jackson and Prince.
When I saw that, I was afraid that she would scratch him with those nails. But it didn't happen and what can I say about it. Beautiful harmony of voices, perfect guitar, good lyrics. I have been waiting for something new for a very long time.
What a great reaction. Bj i can tell you really felt this like i did. And your depiction was definately heartfelt. Your words after hearing this made me feel like I just had to comment. Stay on this jouney. Much love to you both.
you really need to check out ow to be me live. another one with chinchilla. also if you want to hear him sing he did english man in newyork cover with big push
Someone recommended Terence Trent D’Arby and I totally second that! But I’d recommend As Yet Untitled if you want deeper lyrics or Sign Your Name and Wishing Well if you want to experience what he was more popularly known for. I’d love to see all three as a reaction from you so whatever you pick I’d be jazzed for.
I'm a long time fan of your channel. I was impressed with your first Ren reaction, or even that you were reacting to something by a "new" artist. If you like this, check out "Ren X Chinchilla - How To Be Me (live)" I can guarantee you've never heard any other duet like it.
For a storytelling journey, please check out Ren “The Tale of Jenny & Screech (full)”. It is a trilogy of songs that are best watched back to back in correct order, so do the full version instead of each tale separately. Ren can paint pictures with music. However, these videos may contain triggers. Also check out “The Hunger” to hear Ren’s rapping abilities. “Genesis” is pretty dope too. For a fun old school rap sound, check out “What You Want” 😊
Great reaction, welcome to the Ren rabbit hole ;) its a deep one..pls check out: Ren - The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full) /// The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop /// you will not be disapointed by this genius ;)
I could be way off but from my personal experience, the chalk outlines are the part we kill with the next prescription they say you need, and then that pill needs another and kills another part of you. We just keep replacing parts searching for being “ok” . My medication killed the best parts of me over 12 years. I’m finally off that crap and I’m still never going to find the real me 😢
Bro, this man as I’m sure, hits so deeply for me. Almost like that part from the fugues “killing me softly with his song, singing my life with his words “. I don’t know what’s going on, but I feel change. Good change, but change. . . .
So much love! Thank you 🫶
You're so welcome! Keep bringing us these bangers!!
You and Ren are so incredible!!! Huge follower of you both from Gorliz, Bizkaia (the Basque Country)!! Love this song!!!
When you guys see Ren's The Tale Of Jenny and Screech (full) it's gonna blow your minds. It's a trilogy that you have to see in order, so make sure it's the full version.
Please guys do it!!!!! 1 shot each part!!! it will blow your mind too!!!!

I second that! You HAVE TO DO IT!

Ren - The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full)
I'm waiting for the trilogy as well!
You can never ever “expect” anything Ren does. That’s why we love him. Try Bongo Bong with his ban The Big Push. They do a street performance off I Shot The Sheriff/Road to Zion/ Hip Hop that is excellent sound quality
Ren and Chinchilla used to busk together back in the day, real chemistry!
To hear his vocal range, his busking with Sam Tomkins is a must listen.
it's Sam Tompkins, who is a fabulous R&B singer and they are great together..thanks David!
Also, Ren and Sam Tomkins Blind Eyed ft. Angry Car Park Attendant just because it's amazing!
Blind Eyed like @fourcomersofbrighton said is amazing. In terms of covers, there's a ton but I personally love their cover version of "Earned It / Mans World / Falling"
Ren x Chincilla sing another one. “How to be me”. It’s beautiful
Totally agree, awesome song, with superb harmonies and so meaningful.
@@jonreed6448 yup
It feels like a throwback, does anyone else get that? Like to the crooners of the 40s?
It's my favourite Ren song. Hits home!
The power of truth in song! The hundredth time listening to this beautiful performance, and it still brings me to tears.
Yes on repeat
Each and every time!
Welcome to the world of Ren. I just went through his whole catalog on Spotify along with everything he's done with his band Big push. What an amazing artist. He made this old man a fan. Peace ✌️
ah those busking sessions with the big push
Brilliant reaction. I have been watching Ren busking in Brighton (UK) for seven years and he is never less than captivating. He has many videos showing his beautiful voice but Chalk Outlines is one of my favourites. I hope you will continue on your Ren journey. It's an exciting ride!
One of the best, most thoughtful, and compassionate reactions I’ve seen to this song. Excellent breakdown. Subbed.
Wow, thank you!
Great reaction guys. The love from the reaction community for this brilliant talent is just great to see.
Most definitely!
oh my my , i was hesitant to listen to more REN because hi ren was so amazing , but this is on a level of its own , i,m scared to be well . THAT WAS ME FOR SO MANY YEARS ! tears again ren and chinchila xxx
As a serious mental health sufferer there's a line in this masterpiece that answers the title.chinchilla says take a pill and the feeling goes and walk around the chalk outline,basically the drugs make you dead inside so even though your physically alive you are in essence completely dead and numb
Yeah, that's how I interpret this as well. I was in the military for 17yrs medically retired for BPD and chronic pain. I understand.
Yes. I'm also a serious mental health sufferer. I agree with that line.
Agreed. I eventually stopped taking the meds all together because I would rather feel pain than nothing at all
Ren and his music is a gift the world needs to hear during these times.
Truth. 👌🏻
@@TheBorderRyker Brings us closer and brings out the best in us all. Rare gift
@@achebwahs1111 he’s the kind of talent that only comes along once in a lifetime. 👌🏻
He came at the right time in my life. He has saved my life, at least for now.
So glad this song is getting around 🙌 😌 😍 love this song crazy 😜 Ren came in from left field and is hitting it our of the park.
In the gallows, I stand on my toes so that I can breathe. That line gets me every time. I think we can all relate to that feeling of when things get super overwhelming and you're just trying to keep breathing.
Beside these solo projects and with some collaborations, check out Ren and his band The Big Push. He can sing anything and play anything also. Incredible talent.
Love how it’s not overproduced, not perfect. It feels so real and genuine.
This boy can do it all ive never seen or heard someone so talented just hope his health is getting better i know he in canada getting help.LOVE TO YOU REN BRO
I've been feeling really fuck*d up these days because borderline, and this song and other of his songs have literally been keeping me sane.
Am BPD myself and yeah, I am a Deathcore fan, I haven't listened to anything but Ren for the last 2 days.
It’s good to feel heard. Doesn’t matter where it comes from.
Ren spent so long being misdiagnosed and trying to cope with his illness, that it felt like he was walking around with a signal of his own death following him. That’s how I interpret it, that and the immediate feeling of being in a space where you’ve lost yourself like you say, and you can view yourself outside your body, like you saw yourself as the victim of the crime scene.

The Tale of Jenny & Screech (full) - you won't be disappointed :)
This melody gets stuck in your head, a few weeks ago i had it going round and round for days. This song comes from the soul.
Ren is one of the most underrated artists of our time. His talent is endless, limitless, and just so good.
I love this one!! I listen to this song everyday!!✌️😊💜🧿
Well done guys great reaction. It was totally live in an abandoned hallway
Tears... just tears. Tears of regret, tears of joy. I reached out to the one I tried to destroy. Strange thing is, that person is me. A scared lil boy living in my memory. Hi Asia, BJ, and the gang. How special is this guy and his message?
You two are amazing humans!
Ren just continues to blow my mind, every time I watch a new video I need a few minutes to compose myself.
I have watched this many times over the last few days and I still feel it every time ❤
6:50 gooseflesh everytime ❤️ how I know it's real
If you want to hear him singing check out him busking with Sam Tomkins. Sam is a lovely singer but Ren really explodes in this th-cam.com/video/d8nBzrhd8Ro/w-d-xo.html
A must
This is such a powerful song. Thank you for the reaction 💖🦋
"It's such a perfect day. Take it just in case."
"I scared of being ok because all things change."
Anyone who deals with a chronic illness (or multiple) like myself and Ren understands these thoughts on a deep level.

God bless Ren and ty for doing Ren reactions bc it finally gives me a voice
Please don't miss their song "How To Be Me". ❤🔥🍻
The talent is absolutely mind boggling. He’s just amazing
“in the gallows, balanced on my toes, so I can breathe”. Hits so damn hard.. gallows being where you’d be hanging sentences to death in front of the crowds back in very old times..
Lovely reaction, thank you! Chinchilla alone is worth listening to as well. But How to be me with her is a must.
Now you absolutely MUST check out his rap-side in "Losing it" and "What you want". I think you'll love it and will have trouble sitting still!😊
You can see Ren with his band "The Big Push" He does a lot of Cover Songs. Kinda gives you a different look at his talents. He does Black Sabbath, Bob Marley etc.
His musical ability is alien, Bass, guitar, rapping, singing sooo good
Thank you for such a real, honest to God reaction, you hit the nail right on the head when you said people need to hear this kind of song, maybe then they will realise they might have been going about things in the wrong manner and change the direction of their lives.
Power like this really can make a difference in people's lives and help them out of a deep dark place when they are lost.
At the end of the song I had to remind myself to breathe .
Everything Ren creates is out-of-this world- fantastic.
It's actually insane he's able to rap the way he does and be able to switch to this style
If you want to hear him rap rap check out Ren’s “The Hunger”.
And definitely check out his trilogy “The Tale of Jenny & Screech (full)” - story telling at it’s finest.
Sam & Ren busking "man's world" vocals off the charts.
Ren x Chinchilla "how to be me" beautiful. ❤🌹
Along with the Jenny & Screech trilogy, How to be Me, Blind Eyed, Sick Boi please try Money Game pt1&2, Power, Humble, Genesis (acoustic version) anything with The Big Push . Such a talented and eclectic artist there is so much to discover
I don’t of a more versatile artist than Ren right now. And I love you guys. You’re so genuine!
You guys are great! I really enjoy watching your reactions. Old man fan! This song really reaches me. My kids have all struggled with mental health issues and music like this helps me to connect with them.
Words can't describe the talent💯🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤
Hauntingly beautiful....ren ty I relate. Ty both for your reaction❤👍🔥
REN's voice carries so much soul!
It's a soul filled to the brim with a lifetime of suffering, add a genius level of a creative mind to that?
Yeah it's very heavy stuff.
REN got some really good up-beat songs too though!
He is an incredible artist of the likes i haven't seen before.
I’ve been a subscriber and I listen there for quite a while. You guys do a fantastic job. I know you’re gonna love this guy.
Awesome thank you!
They are angels in the basement of a hospital near the morgue, sending us a clarion message… let that sink in
I just found this dude the other day and went down a rabbit hole. He’s phenomenal, if you want a more “fun” less serious song check out What You Want it’s a throw back to old school Hip Hop(specifically The Beastie Boys).
Loved your reaction! Asia could totally sing Chinchilla’s part!!!!! I can hear you in my head, girl! 💕💕💕

Love your reviews you guys. Really enjoy the way you compliment each other's perspectives.
You can feel the emotions coming from the song, this song gives me goose bumps fr
Great reaction! Most of his music videos are Live.
He's speaking, mainly, about mental health medication.
Notice how they're both wearing microphones?... its cuz this isn't a regular music video, it's a live performance that just looks like a music video... that makes it 100× more amazing!

What a great reaction. Bj i can tell you really felt this like i did. And your depiction was definately heartfelt. Your words after hearing this made me feel like I just had to comment. Stay on this jouney. Much love to you both.
You guys *have* to check out "Ocean (Bonus Track)" by him. Eden even raps on it. There's no video sadly, but it's heartwarming. 😌
Great reaction, check out Ren-The Hunger or Sick Boi or The Tale of Jenny and Screech and Violet's Tale (trilogy). All are more than worthy. Peace.
you really need to check out ow to be me live. another one with chinchilla. also if you want to hear him sing he did english man in newyork cover with big push
Ren is dope Y’all are dope! Cutest couple ever (next to me and my girl 😎) please keep it coming
All Ren's videos are live. At least the ones I've seen so far. He always sings in places where there are great acoustics.
Check out his song Patience. Just him very young in a room with an acoustic guitar.
oh man , been waiting for someone to do this - FIRE!!!!!
Someone recommended Terence Trent D’Arby and I totally second that! But I’d recommend As Yet Untitled if you want deeper lyrics or Sign Your Name and Wishing Well if you want to experience what he was more popularly known for. I’d love to see all three as a reaction from you so whatever you pick I’d be jazzed for.

Also check out “The Hunger” to hear Ren’s rapping abilities. “Genesis” is pretty dope too.
For a fun old school rap sound, check out “What You Want” 😊
Fun fact: One of his big vocal and guitar influences is Jeff Buckley, and it really shows in this song.

An how to be me. 🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥
Edit: Live version please ❤️
