I was wondering when you guys would review this, not just for the talent but the message. God bless!!
Ren talking about "Hi Ren" on Twitch
th-cam.com/video/M1Na3nQV_8Q/w-d-xo.html
was waiting for this one. yall never disappoint. btw yall know NF dropping a new album this year...right?.
You guys should definitely to react to Ren’s band “The Big Push” and their cover of “I Shot The Sheriff”. People keep reacting to this but not their street performances which is what blew them up overtime.
Ren responded in these comments!!!
Loved watching you both react to my video guys! Appreciate the kind words and support!
We appreciate you making such great music!!! Keep putting REAL music out there for us that still appreciates the meaning behind it! Much love and respect for stopping by! 💪🏾
You’re a mfing boss
Ren?? Nah that's Tommy from Peaky Blinders! Kiddin'... but Ren is killin' it like Tommy from P.B.r's
I'm 67 Ren I've been dancing that Eternal dance since I was a teen and still ! I hear you loud and clear! Sing to God young man !! ohh ohh ohh ohh oohh oooh !!!!!!!!! Amen!
Your creative genius is incredible. Thankyou for helping others to see HOPE ❤ and thanks to this channel for sharing 😊
Im so glad you guys found Ren. You have to do his trilogy. Jennys tale, Schreeches tale and Violet's tale in that order.
Bring tissues.
👍
Yes, definitely! They are great individually, and amazing together (if that makes any sense lol).✌️
You guys HAVE to watch that trilogy
But that have to do them all at the same time in a reaction video . That would be the only way for it to make a impact . 👍
I cry every time I watch a reaction. This is me without that musical talent. I have severe Lupus and PTSD from childhood trauma. I don’t know how many times I have had conversations with myself just like that! Thanks guys!!
You and me both. We'll I'm going in for my like 300th time. And I cry everytime and it's fascinating because they are both happy and sad tears. Ren is my favourite artist atm. He's something different and it's special
me too, it slays me, I cant get through it without ballin, and I am not afraid to admit it. It's powerful stuff how can one man with an Acoustic guitar make music that feels like it could crush Demons. Its a Masterpiece, and I think it has something that everyone could relate to, whether people believe in spiritual side of things or not, I think he beautifully sums up the human condition. Also of course mental health, but not in the usual sterile cold, well meaning but miss understanding way. Its from a direct experience, some people can relate to that very every day but none less challenging reality. But even a relatively mental healthy person has doubts and gnawng internal dialogs, so even they can relate.
This is all a long way of me saying it's genius
@@bookerwills8649 I know what you mean, it's realease tears, good and bad, its not grief, I think its just hitting crazy deep in the Subconscious/Jungian/Soul whatever the hell anyone wants to call it, It rings like a bell and people feel it, even if they dont know what they are feeling (I am not sure anyone really knows lool)
That's everyone. You won't be happy until you stop looking back. Don't use brain drugs. They are simply stopping mental growth. Let life happen and enjoy today. I don't say this out of anger or spite. I say it because there is a better way. Hope your journey ends with a smile. Life's about attitude. Change the attitude find happiness
This is all of us. That's why it's so special. It transcends every division to touch every human soul. The last line said it perfectly. "We must not forget, that we are human beings." Respect for this reaction too. They understood it immediately. Much love to you all in your quests to keep that pendulum in the light.
Every reaction I watch makes me cry. Think it's tears of joy, rather than sadness. Watching it hit people is amazing.
i enjoy that too- seeing people react to such art. Half and jai seem like good souls too
It's just so comforting to know everyone who comes across this song connects with it and I'm not alone in feeling like ren has felt with the battles he's had in his life
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. You have an exciting journey ahead. Sick Boi, the Jenny and Screech trilogy AND Chalk Outlines next please. Enjoy!
Chalk Outlines is a whole other journey.
I absolutely love all the reactors in the beginning when Ren starts his “oooh 🎼 🎶 “ they are not quite sure what to think, but at the end of song when he goes into his “oooh 🎶 🎼” all reactors are bobbing their heads and completely into the song! ❤
A must follow up to this is “Jenny’s Tale, Screech’s Tale and Violet’s Tale....in that order I believe there is a video that contains all three.
Much love ❤
Yes, I've now watched about 30 reaction videos and am writing some blog posts about this whole experience, but yeah, watching the difference between those two moments is definitely one of the most rewarding things!
@@bryanwinchell2485 My bandmate shared this with a week ago and I’ve been OBSESSED by Hi Ren. And of course tears are often involved.
@@bryanwinchell2485 what’s your blog post? I would love to follow along!
@@reneeterra9863 p
This amazing HUMAN is currently in Canada undergoing some procedure to help with his autoimmune disorder. I love this song because it's an inspiration to me because I struggle with bipolar disorder anxiety and chronic pain issues for over 20 years now. This came at the right time and the world needs to hear this! Thanks for doing this!
Amen Steve, keep fighting brother
Please give to Rens gofundme if you enjoy his shit. He gives his music away free. Lets give him something back.
41 years of life listening to all different genres of music i have never heard a song like this. Hes a musical and lyrical genius.
absolutly Incredible.
Ren is the best thing I’ve discovered in a long time. Massive shout out to Justin Hawkins for introducing me and others to Ren on his channel 🤘🏻
Damn I was not ready for this Undeniably Talented, Half and Jai this is straight fire
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 Wow 👌🏽 👏🏽
Out of this world and destined to be the best ambassador ever for Mental Health.
When he says some people know him as hope... goosebumps in the chillibum 💚
Only a next level talent like Ren could get you two headbanging to acoustic guitar yodeling. Loved it.
this dude is a one take live video producer! Insane performer , like a modern day Shakespear.
Good reaction!
So powerful I feel. This is art and real. #Ren
he is his own genre. 1 of 1. Highest compliment I can give a musician.
I loved y'all reacting to this. You felt it. This song is like a spiritual journey.
Sick boi just dropped, it’s equally as groundbreaking as Hi Ren and his trilogy Screech’s tale, Jenny’s tale and Violet’s tale is brilliant. If you notice also that he wears a microphone in his videos as he is really performing and not lip syncing like most artists do.
This is probably the 20th reaction video I've watched of this now and I will continue watching all the reaction videos. It's honestly the greatest song I've heard in a long, LONG, time and it makes me tear up every time
The trilogy of jenny screech and violets tales is a masterclass x
Excellent reaction. I've just ran across Ren over the last couple weeks and have watched about 25 reactions or so to this song. Was wondering if you guys would pick it up and you did! Thanks! Not really my type of music, but this is something more to me and comes at a fortuitous time for us all as we, most of us, can relate, I think. This is art in raw form and speaks to a deeper part of us. Thanks again for your reaction! Long time follower and fan and I look forward to more!
I agree 100%. This isn’t simply music. It’s so much bigger than that. It’s a masterpiece
There are three different characters in this song. He's fighting with the demon within and his sickness, then he comes out as himself to fight back. Then he's goes in turmoil at the end, then his angel comes out to let him know he's still there, and to never lose hope, and he's strong still. Or at least that's what I take out of it
I had never heard of Ren until a coule of weeks ago when I clicked on a reaction to this very song. I haven't stopped clicking since and I went and dived deeper into his catalogue and continue to be awed, amazed and impressed. I needed this in my life. And add to everything that this is being performed & shot LIVE! Loved your reaction! I suggest you keep going with him. The Tale of Jenny & Screech (FULL VERSION) is another masterpiece of storytelling that will blow your mind. He can sign so beautifully too - Chalk Outlines, How To Be Me, Crutch. And he can rap, like rap rap - Hunger, What You Want. Then he has songs about real world issues - Money Game & Money Game 2. It just goes on & on. Hopefully you will enjoy discovering his music as much as I have.
Great reaction, as usual. "Hi Ren" is the song that put Ren on everyone's radar over the past month; it went viral and has garnered more than 3.5 million views since its debut, but he has been creating great music for more than 10 years. Ren's songs are generally recorded live. His latest release, "Sick Boi," is almost another chapter to "Hi Ren." I am 57 y/o, and I only recently learned about Ren and have gone down this rabbit hole ever since. Many of his songs resonate with me because he addresses struggles that I myself face every day.
A little background on Ren that I gathered from the internet. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, he began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. In 2010, he was signed by Sony Records and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue. His illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours a day. Ren was initially diagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome. It would take seven years before he was finally correctly diagnosed with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting brain damage. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure. He is currently in Canada for more treatments.
He plays multiple instruments, has amazing vocals, is an excellent storyteller, and is quite the philosopher and poet. Check out the trilogy "The Tale of Jenny/Screech/Violet." It is haunting and has an unforeseen conclusion; WATCH THEM IN THE STATED ORDER, as this is the flow of the storyline or just watch “The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full),” which includes “Violet’s Tale at the end. It is another example of Ren’s genius and a master’s class in storytelling.
Ren’s collaborations with Chinchilla (“Chalk Outlines,” “How to Be Me”) are beautiful and showcase his singing voice while addressing mental health. I would watch the official live music videos. "Chalk Outlines" is one of my favorite songs right now. Ren's personal reflections are threaded through many of his songs; "Insomnia," "Depression," “Diazepam," “Penitence,” “Dear God,” “Heretic,” “Dominos,” his "Freckled Angels" album, just to name a few, all deserve a listen. His song "Money Game" (Part I & II) is another recommendation.
His performances with Sam Tompkins (“Blind Eyed,” “Earned it /Mans World / Falling,” “Walking on the Moon), Eden Nash (“Humble,” “Ocean”), Bibi (“Crutch,” “Ahiahiaoha”), Molly McKinna (“Penitence”), his former bandmate, Romain Axisa (“French Song”) are all great. Ren's performances as a member of the band "The Big Push" (which unfortunately broke up) are awesome and well worth checking out, both the busking (street performances) and their live recordings. Ren's covers of "I Shot the Sheriff," "Oh My Woman," "Wade in the Water," "An Englishman in New York," and so many others are equally impressive and really give you a sample of his vocal ability.
Ren just released his latest single, “Sick Boi.” In anticipation of his stay in Canada for more treatments, Ren prepared some music ahead of time to be released over the next 3-6 months that he expects to be gone. "Sick Boi" is almost another chapter to "Hi Ren."
Hell ya! You need to start his Wikipedia page. You answered so many things I’ve been trying to piece together since I discovered him 2 weeks ago
Hey guys, I'm thrilled you finally reacted to #Ren, highly recommend Money Game parts 1 and 2, What you Want, and The Tale of Jenny and Screech for your next reactions from him. AMAZING!!!!
Sounds like his singing from the point of view of someone with multiple personalities,or someone possessed.Awesome tune.God bless
The trilogy of jennys tale ,screechs tale and violet's tale , it will blow your mind
Her reaction is priceless, let the emotions go, that’s also human .
I've listened to this a few time now, and I'm certain it will go down as one of the greatest pieces of performance art ever.
It’s even better knowing this was performed live. All his videos are.
Yall gotta do his Jenny's Tale, Screeches tale, and violets tale. AMAZING SERIES!
I've been waiting on ya'll to react to this. I can't wait.
I knew it was gonna be my favorite reaction. I discovered this dude like 3 days ago and I can't get enough of his content. He really did rise above a terrible situation that probably would've broke most folks.
He is amazing, He did that video in one take... BRILLIANT 👏
Money Game Part 1 and Part 2. by Ren is also mind blowing, and Sick Boi, and for some more singing Chalk Outlines.... hell, do the whole catalog.
I'm so glad you guys went down this road. This young man is an unbelievable story teller. Please do more 🙏. The next one has to be the tale of Jenny and Screech. Full version .
Wow. Not losers and winners, rather victims and students. Just wow. This Ren has been inside the belly of the beast and is standing on a mountaintop now.
Heavy in emotions and meaning. A masterpiece.
First time here. I have to say, you both are awesome and the chemistry between you is perfect!! I love Ren, Daria, and Jordan!! This song is so deep and thought consuming!!- Thank you for sharing!! I love you guys!!
Can't wait for this !!! I just watched this last week. He is a freaking talented genius.
I’m was not expecting that! Super powerful, I’m gonna have to check this dude out.
Thank you for bringing a new and beautiful talent to my life. Wow. I am in such awe, like miss Jai❤
I think ALOT of people needed to hear something like this
Deep with happy tears...amazing...peace and connections brothers and sisters ☘
This was so needed. This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You gotta watch the Tale of Jenny, Screech and Violet in that exact order. There are separate video but there's also a full version out there.
Fucking Hell Ren!
I also got goosebumps!
Convo is running on loop in my head!!!! (& has been forever)
Love the energy you guys bring! Keep the positive vibes going. The world needs more people like you.
Love love love your reaction to this...I have watched this beautiful piece of art over and over and over the past couple of days. This man has changed my whole outlook on life through this experience. It was lovely to see you both be NOT judgmental, rather be so open minded to go on the journey and really hear him and recognize this beautiful opus. Thank you REN for inspiring this artist so deeply, and make me feel no so alone in that dance between the light and the dark. To soften and grow and stand proudly as a Human Being. You guys are amazing!
Thanks for putting this on my radar. It's brilliant.
This song is amazing!!
Loved your guys' reaction and seeing how moved you were by this incredible song! I've been on a two-week journey watching reactions to "Hi, Ren" and am writing a series of blog posts about the song, its many meanings, and the amazing reactions. For me, each reaction video is a fascinating experience, to see how different people react, but now my favorites are usually ones like this one where reactors get emotional and I connect to that with some tears flowing. Well done!
Loved every minute of this video.
Love your honest genuine reaction ❤❤❤
I know I'm not the only person to ask for this song. But thank you for reacting to Ren. And there is 3 songs that tell a story. #Ren
Probably my favorite reaction y’all have done. Loved it. So glad y’all did this one.
This song hit my heart strings, i've been in that limbo for some time and this song resonates with the battle against how i've viewed myself and how the simple encouragements in life have made things better. I've began to count every day i wake up as a blessing. Thank you both for reacting to this!
Sitting down for the night and you guys pop up. Yall lookin good! Take care ✌️
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole! I'd love to watch more of your Ren reactions!
He is absolutely amazing. Great Job!
My girl! You’re my musical reaction soulmate. 😂 And your smile is straight contagious! Love y’all!
First time channel viewer - a great reaction to Ren, you got it instantly and kept your reaction real.
Great reactions guys. Really enjoyed it.
What an experience! As I watched you both watching him I found my head bobbing in exact rhythm with yours.. it felt like I was there with you experiencing this in real time with you.. great vid! Glad we were able to find Ren together! Looking forward to everything that's to come!
Definitely check out David Udel's comment and Jenny's tale, Screeches tale, and Violet's tale IN THAT ORDER. It will blow your mind.
Great reaction guys!!! Ten’s music is sooo moving loved seeing y’all jam too it!
Since finding Ren recently I've been binging reactions to his music, there is something so connecting about how his songs hit, it has been really cathartic for me and countless others it seems. I really loved your reaction, it was so touching and raw. Plus your 'Daria' t-shirt rocks! Big love from Ireland ❤🇮🇪
Thank the Algorithm I found you both! Such genuine positive energy. I'm gonna check your other content. Much love!
You have just scratched the surface of the creativity & versatility of the enigma that is Ren, amazing seeing the music flow through you.
Thank y'all! I found Ren one night months ago and forgot his name. I'm so glad y'all did this review! He also sung with some other guys (I believe)..he was definitely the stand out of the group.
It is such a blessing to see people from different walks of life enjoy the same music. Some in different way and some in similar but there is a connection. Props to you too. You are wonderful.
WOW, What a wake up for me. That touched me in ways I will have to sort out. Strong! I am a veteran, but this speaks to a different kind of warfare. Spiritual, soulful. I command battles in my mind, but I'm a victim of the war in my heart! Love you guys, thanks for sharing.
So amazing! So talented! I wish him the best!
I love the fact that every video I've watched of him so far. He is playing and singing live. Amazingly talent young man
Awesome, I was so hoping you guys would check out Ren. Thank you!
Great reaction 😊 I’m so glad this is getting so much attention. This guy really deserves it. His most recent song is Sick Boi and it was the song I listened to second ❤
found you on my very own Ren journey and i love your Energy! You got a new Fan.
You guys are awesome
We love your channel
Enjoyed your reaction ❤ Ren is a story teller like no other, he encapsulates you with his performance…Violet’s Tale is a perfect example of his brilliance.
Loved this reaction. Most folks are either brought to tears or overwhelmed and just left speechless. It was great to see something so different. Truly Ren's gift is next level.
A masterpiece for sure. Love your reaction!
My Nf friends! I’ve watched all your Nf reactions and absolutely love you guys, truly! Especially as a couple I love y’all’s connection to one another and I’m so very glad y’all found Ren and reacted to him! I’m sooo looking forward to seeing y’all do his trilogy...Jenny’s tale, screeches tale, and violets tale in that order and he also does those live, but this man can sang something unreal my friends. So God bless y’all and I’ll be here for the next video!!
thanks for bringing this discussion!
I’m going down the Ren rabbit hole and finding the most amazing talent. Watching you react made me smile the entire time. Thank you. I just subscribed and I’m looking forward to getting to know your channel
So glad you guys reacted to this! Thanks
You two are going to love the trilogy. By the way he is performing it Live. He is wearing a mic. He does not record it and then shoot the video. All in one take. Time for Jenny, Screech and Violets Tale
New song 'Sick Boi' new song just released. Also The Tale of Jenny and Screech (FULL) is amazing,as is The Hunger. He has many more. An amazing talent.
thank you so much for this he is amazing artist, dive deep into the ren rabbit hole
I discovered Ren because of you guys and his music has really helped me especially this song as I have been suffering with mental health battles recently. To hear someone like Ren speak these words makes me realise I'm not alone in my thoughts. So thank you Half and Jai and thank you Ren x
Hi ! Love your reaction, I've been watching lots of Hi Ren reactions. Yours was really moving,made me feel like the first time I caught Ren. Tidy
Hey Ren. You are so nice to respond to people! You are blowing up!! You deserve it my friend!!!😊
The best reaction I've seen to this video, you two are great, love ❤ the both of you.
Omg that was amazing. Sometimes I just randomly come to a reaction of this song. This song is so meaningful. And you knew that right off. Lovely.
This artest is amazing, thank you two for this
How could this NOT hit you in the feels??
I would love to see a full show performed by this man.
I watch y'all's reactions pretty often but no kidding this is the first one that has me reacting out loud, in public, with my earbuds in.
Loved your reaction- It blew my mind and stuck with me for days, too.
Music is Therapy for what ever your going through. Just discovered Ren the other day and his health issues have him still dealing with the autoimmune issues and the treatments for that.. but his music I feel is his therapy for dealing with the health issues. Definitely hear the passion in his music.
I’m SO glad I’ve just found you 2!
❤
i like your vibes both of you. keep up the good work. Thank you
