I've heard this song about 20 times and I'm amazed that I still pick up on new things every time I hear it.
"London City, far from pretty, 2-0-0-5"
I had been assuming that number was a postal code, but I just realized it's the year. It was foreshadowing the first 2 songs, because Jenny and Screech were 14 years old.
2005 + 14 = 2019. That's right around when the Tale of Jenny Screech was released.
Just what I thought the first time
Absolutely....
I’ve heard this song far more than 20 times now and this is the first I’ve realized this.
And I have dozens of friends in the UK. How did I not know? 😭🤣
For me, it was when he revealed they were twins, and the realisation that he said Screech was only 14 when he killed Jenny. That means Jenny was "walking the streets in high-heeled shoes," who "wanted to escape," suggesting she was a prostitute at 14, too! 😢
I'd listened too many times before I realized Jenny was a sex worker, and he even says it I think...he calls her a pro
Ren calls this genre "BardCore". Like a medieval minstrel, but telling stories that carry emotional impact and weight to them.
Plan B did it.
@@JonnyHyperbole2090yo...
@@JonnyHyperbole2090 Watch "Hi Ren" its part of that song.
I love Bardcore!
Not to be rude , but that is an acctual thing 😊
Best reaction to this!!! I'm sorry Jay. I should of warned you but I didn't wanna ruin the story. Amazing and real reaction. Best ending because what can you say. Babies were put into the system. They never knew eachother. Poor mama violet is dead, stevie the dad in prison I'm sure. What a interwined tale that keeps your attention.
Ya he wasn't ready for that ending at all Mel🤷♂️
@@jonathanshoop8554 I don't think anyone ever is ready for it lol
But what's the story of Richard - the poor Police officer who was forced to shoot screeech?
He’s so layered. Composition, storytelling, singing, rapping, beatboxing, guitar, vocal and facial expression, acting etc He shows an amazing understanding of acoustics. He plans to an unbelievable level of detail. It’s all paced out so carefully and yet it still feels very natural and unspoiled. There seems to be hidden meaning in almost everything. I’ve watch this so many times and I’m still finding something new. For example, I only just twigged that two zero zero five is not the postcode of London city (where I live postcodes are a series of 4 numbers). He’s actually foreshadowing the twist to the story.
Sure there are many fantastic artist’s out there, some do different things even better than Ren; but no one person does it all.
Btw: How spot on we’re his parents when they named him Ren! He is the literal definition of a renaissance man.
@@fibienn250 the two zero zero five was a clue. The tale of Jenny and the tale of Screech were both released in 2019. They were twins and we know Screech was a boy of 14 years old. 2019 minus 14 puts the year at 2005. Like a great detective whodunnit, the clues were all there. But to put them altogether the first time watching is tricky. =)
I find that he's also extremely powerful when he chooses to make eye contact with the camera... it's not talked about often, but his ability to connect when necessary is impeccable
When he's in Violets face, opening her eyes, the blur, the too closeness of it feels so threatening. It's so well done.
"Big Ben? that's a big ass clock bruh.." 😂💯
Big Ben is a big ass Bell
@@jomi568huh???
Legendary ending! Don't ever apologize for being genuine man, that's what we're here for. Most honest reaction I've seen yet for that twist.
I reacted the same. I had to go outside for some air just to contemplate what just happened
For violets tale they took 20 takes and ended up with 6 or 7 full live takes to choose from. This one they chose was take #2. Ren did all the sound mixing on these videos as well. He said the sound mixing took a long time to get right on violets tail since each room and hallway had different acoustics.
This is exactly why I hope Ren stays an independent artist! I don't want his creative process and musical and storytelling genius to be diluted in any way!
He's the most relevant artist out there and I wish him only the best outcome for his health and all the success he deserves!!! 🤩🤩🥰🙏
But where did his socks go?
@@thecellshop8779 he has them on the whole time, I think? they just don't stand out as much in the green light at the end.
@@thecellshop8779 He still has them on, if you look closely you can't see his toes in the final scene. His hospital socks were green in the first scene and the colour grading in the final scene was very green, had to freeze frame and enlarge the image just to check after reading your comment 🤣 (also spent 30 mins looking for an invisible cut in the video " ADHD issue) so it seems the green colour grading made them blend in with his skin tone( at least that's what my eyes think!)
@@TARTANTAFF I like your commitment😆 I thought there may have been a cut after he walks through the door and the camera is close to his face.
I'm dying here, that ending was perfect!
He was like „aaw fuck“, and left 😂
Ren is the most versatile, talented and inspirational artist that this world has seen in at least the last 3 decades…
Im 62, I havw seen a lot of artist. I agree with you, in decades
Just brilliant I love music this wee man has me hooked
It’s refreshing
I agree this guy is beyond talented
I’ve loved all kinds of music in my 41 years, I’ve never experienced anyone like Ren. I doubt anyone will ever experience anyone like him ever again.
😢Still hits my heart everytime.
I've heard this about 50 times now.
You had the perfect ending.
Speechless
Peace and love always until there is no more!❤
100%. Every time. And still I can't help but listen and experience it anew with first time reactions.
@@JP33zy Me too. It's beyond anything my brain can compute. I hear it and every time I think Violet is literally on the floor->and me knowing no one isn't there.
Its a mental mind F#^%.
I don't understand how something can be so tragically beautiful.
The most powerful reaction I have seen was actually the Strawhat Twin... Kinda understood because they were twin... I recommend watching their reaction to HI Ren first, as they did so you can see them fall in love with ren and be moved... Then watching their reaction to violets tale when then put it together....epic
@@Donetravlin Awww...I will have to check then out. I like anyone who likes Ren. It seems like those who do are usually good people (as far as I can tell from this side of the screen anyways)
Peace And love always friend✌❤
Yo, I'm definitely subscribing. That reaction at the end was pure genuine anger and frustration. That's how you know Ren did it right. It wasn't about Ren. You got involved in that story and the heartbreak was real. That's how it should be. Music can be so much more. Awesome reaction, bro. Subbed for sure.
you are right the perfect ending
Generational cycles of violence and trauma. Jenny (frozen like a statue in high-heeled shoes) reacted much like her mother Violet (she stays silent.) Screech is abusive and aggressive like his father Stevie. Those cycles continued even though the twins didn't know their parents. The saddest thing is that this isn't some crazy made up fairy tale. It happens everyday.
@@susanmarshall9118yeah but it's also implied that Stevie was r4p1ng her like her dad did. Or at the very least some form of sexual abuse. Which could be the case.
My brain was hurting. Thank you for helping me clear up who was who awesome video
Except the babies aren’t Stevie’s. Violet’s children are also Violet’s siblings... this is how Violet gets that welfare flat and crummy job stacking shelves. Why do you think Violet falls fast for Stevie, except that she didn’t have much time before she began to show, and why do you think Stevie calls her a liar, but because he knows that he didn’t make her pregnant, and I am betting she didn’t tell Stevie what her dad did to her, and tried to claim he was her first. He was the first she chose anyway. Either that or she DID tell him exactly what happened and it is so bad that even Stevie who also beats her refuses to believe she was raped by her own father, decides she must be a slut. Even though REN doesn’t exactly say it, the word choices give their own clues. The system that was supposed to protect her did a crummy job, not just for her kids but her too. To me, that is part of what the “it’s such a shame” means. Rather like “thoughts and prayers” the system voices sympathy but the help they provide is inadequate and next to nothing, allowing the cycle to continue instead of breaking it.
This is a Greek tragedy of a tale, and what Greek tragedy is complete without incest and fratricide? It is a modern day twist on Oedipus…
23:23 - Yep, perfectly said. I hadn't fully caught this reaction video until just now, and I definitely feel for you. You can tell who the song hits the hardest and who it misses.
The next time you listen to the trilogy, note that the words are either narration or the men speaking. The only words by either woman were Violet's plea to save her children. Perhaps it's a plea to us all, to do all we can to break the cycle.
As much as I wanted to hear your final take on that twist... that was the perfect ending to your reaction. Thank you!
As soon as you said "y'all didn't tell me it was sad bro...", my first thought was, Oh man, he has NO idea yet. Loved your visceral reactions throughout.....it hit you. (Like it did me) For "Screech's Tale", it seems that almost no one catches that Screech's girlfriend and his friend Patrick, happen to be "busy", or not available, at the same time. Consider why. Maybe they were together? Patrick wasn't home...was he with Screech's girl at her place and that's why she was "busy"? It adds a whole other layer to the story. Also consider that Jenny and Screech were born side by side, and essentially died side by side, one street apart. Born on the same day (2005), died on the same day (2019). An entire family, mother and twins that never knew each other, wiped out by a cycle of violence. An abused mother, a 14 year old prostitute, and a 14 year old thug/murderer. Powerful stuff. Not sure if you caught it or not, but he did all 3 songs in a single take each, just like "Hi Ren". In the "Violet's Tale", the way he uses the acoustics of his environment to accentuate the song is absolute brilliance. Did you catch how he rewound time with his guitar? The man is truly special.
I never had the thought of jenny being a prostitute.
Nowhere in the song does it say Jenny was prostitute. She was dragging her feet from a long day at work, she went that way a 1000 times before because she probably had to walk from work to home, and just because she had heels does not mean she was a prostitute. Her wanting to escape is entirely understandable just by knowing she was a poor kid in the system going to work after school. No need to speculate and invent more tragedy as nothing said confirms it or suggests it.
Here's the answer wether Patrick and Screech’s gf were busy with eachother or not...
th-cam.com/video/BICvZAS1FR0/w-d-xo.html
@@brandonS0001 haha that was always my thought too!!
@@brandonS0001 Jenny a prostitute? Well it’s debatable. Ren’s choice of words can suggest she was. And it was based on a real article/story about the murder on a young prostitute. She walked the floor… floor as in the street was her work-floor? Prostitutes are also called streetwalkers. What kind of work did she do with high heels on? If she was a waitress or had another job she would have warn easy shoes no high heels, I suppose. She dragged her feet, she was tired because she did walk all evening long or stand all night long? She wanted to escape? The hood or the profession? Can you blame? No, you can’t, maybe she was forced into prostitution due to her living conditions or circumstances. Jenny felt scared when she walked that night and not the other nights. Why? Because she knew the streets, she knew the safe places, maybe because it was her work territory? The only one who knows the answer to all of this is Ren himself. And he wants us, listeners, to interpret his songs/works as we want or comprehend.
It's very hard to find something different (unique) in music these days, but Ren is amazing, all different types of music in one and an amazing story teller. I love a wide range of music. Ren is clever, deffo my best artist of 2024. x
This is definitely the era of the RENaissance !! Thank you both for showing us “we are all human”
Brilliant!
I love this reaction so much. This is such a real and honest reaction. Because there is nothing to say. He expertly told these stories to become invested in each of the characters. Life isn’t fair though, things rarely are. And Ren destroys us all at the end.
Just get up and walk away!!….. says it all…respect!… what CAN you say?
Best reaction that I have seen and I have seen many.
There are no words to describe Ren- He supplies the words, the rhymes, the stories and the music for us. We can just sit back and be entertained, amazed and enlightened.
yup the walk away in silence at the end - thats a true reaction
In my life i have seen 2 actors make me forget they were the actor.
Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad and the late Heath ledger as the joker.
Until now..
Ren sucks you in with his performance..
So much so that you feel the music as emotion
and as he is acting it out on screen you can imagine a whole combined scene in your mind..
Its simply a masterpiece..
I watch all Ren reactions. This got me. He got the assignment. Most don't.
Think I fell in respect ❤
You did an excellent reaction to this tale of tragedy. I got chills at the foreshadowing of his "crazy eyes" at the beginning of Violet's Tale. What I saw was him saying, "This is insane! How can this exist?! How can this be allowed to happen?!" The "this" of course is generational violence & trauma. He's pointing & saying, "Don't you see this?!"
I love at like 4:10 when you’re like “screech! Leave her alone! She’s got her own shit” 😂😂😂
A very fun and insightful reaction!
You almost killed me.. Violents tale gets me every time. Here I am driving to work and as soon as you find out she is pregnant my eyes start to water and I start to sniffle. Not a good combination while on the road lol. How you ended the video was priceless because what the hell are you supposed to say after piecing all that together? Ren is a genius and you are the goat! Been on this wagon with you for a little over 2 years now. Congrats on the 17k. Much Love H8 ✌️💚💪
It took me like 20 minutes to gather my thoughts after hearing this one the first time.
“Magical dust in the air and shit” one of my favourite lines from a reaction 😂
Bro this was also my favorite reaction to this by one of my top favorite reactors !!!
Ren is the Master that tells everyone to sit down, pay attention and feel whatever it is that he wants you to !
Here months later. I've heard this song so many times & there is more trauma to release Ebro time. Your reaction was healing in its authenticity & genuine empathy. Just a shout out. We all are in this together. Ren speaks the human condition & allows human emotional evolution. So, thanks for doing your part! 🙏🏻🫡💗 #AllTogetherNow #AllForOne #FreePalestine #FreeCongo #FreeSudan #FreeAfrica #FreeTheWorld ❤
It's crazy when you realize that they take after their parents. Jenny's always quiet, does talk very much. And screech is easily angered and quick to violence. Just like Stevie
“He harmonising the fuck out of that shame” 😂 🙌🏻
The way you just walked off at the end 😂
Ren is not singer. He's a painter. And his paintings are beautiful!
"Sound mythical bro" 😂😂 like your reaction to this, bloody love me some Ren ❤
5:57 "that made my heart hurt bro" I then said out loud,,aw man,your hearts gonna hurt a lot worse before this is over........
Reggae/Ska is much more in mainstream musical culture here than in the US. Good reaction bruv.
to be fair, how you just dumped your headphones and walked off, that was exactly how i felt, when i first heard this song, it is devastating, i've heard it multiple times, and it still gets me, yet i know where it's going and what is coming, and yet it still gets me, deep in my soul. Shakespeare would have difficulty telling this tale,
Thank you. This gets me every time.
the most impressive part about violets tale is how Ren uses the building he was in as an instrument, each room and corridor having different resonances to them and the way he used it to his advantage
"He crashin out bruh, knife to a gunfight. im sorry yall." best line ive heard to that
Ren is a modern Shakespeare, you've found the rabbit hole, now down you go, Sir 😊.
New sub here , love from Australia.
Great reaction! I kept waiting to see if you'd walk back in the room😂😂. It's definitely a tough one to handle if you get the twist at the end. You'd be surprised how many reactors don't get it, which always amazes me.
Don't feel bad my friend, I've been playing the guitar for over 30 years and I wish I could do that. Lol.
I agree with Melanie,best damn reaction to the trio I've seen,soooooo many reactors at the end don't put the pieces together cause they don't FUCKEN listen...... loved your energy in this.... 🔥 🔥 Reaction homie
I think a headphone drop, walk off and end video is the sincerest form of flattery.
"Like an elvin forest with magical dust in the air" will be a lyric in a Sword-Rock song I'm writing. You'll be credited.
One of the best reactions I've seen to this..and I've seen them all! Thank you.
You are the first reactor to this that I’ve watched so far who mentioned the reggae feel at the beginning of Jenny’s tale, and I’ve watched a lot of reactions to this - definitely loved yours!!!!!
(He also has Spanish guitar and Baroque era influences in his music!!!)
"THE LAST THINGS YOU SEE WILL BE A BOY CALLED"
"Screech reached for the sheaf...."
One of the best transitions I've ever heard, so glad you rewound it.
It's fk'in 🔥🔥
Yes, it's a tragic story. But how incredible is this amazing storytelling by Ren! He is such a talented performer! I am still on my Ren journey and enjoying it all! I hope you do too! Great reaction! Hope you recovered😊
I love your reaction especially when you pause the video to speak and just talk over the song ❤❤
I don't know if this is true but I think the reason of him being in the hospital for violets tale is because each chapter is played in the area described in the chapter
(Jenny is in an alleyway and screech moves from the end of jennys chapter and walks to another alley one street over)
I'm not sure if Ren was in hospital at that point but I will take bets on the fact that some hospital is missing one of its robes, and you can't say he hasn't made good use out of it
Hi…my new hobby has become watching people react to REN… I loved your reaction to this trilogy… I’m now a new subscriber to your channel… hope you do more ren reactions … I enjoyed listening to you and watching your facial expressions… thank you
I always enjoy your reactions. This was a tough one to get through. Thanks for what you do.
Ren Story Time for Adults. Ren will scramble up your Brains and you will go back for more. Great Reaction ❤
Outstanding reaction. This trilogy is unreal on all musical levels. Ren is god.
this one was tough. Ren has some super uplifting songs too.
my prescription to you is Rens band the big push
they do a cover of Bob Marley's I shot the sheriff road to Zion and hip hop.
that will bring you back to the zen zone and feeling good!
♥️🎶🙏🎶♥️
Watching this in 2025 and not knowing who REN is this story is amazing like his delivery and like someone mentioned his eye contact to the camera is everything! Also Jay reaction was 100% as well!!
His theatrical performance is simply beautiful no need for fancy visuals with the genius of Ren
And 100% live. No voice over. He evidently decided he wanted to play one day and watched Jimi Hendrix videos on extreme slow mo and taught himself. He’s multi instrumental talented to boot. The acoustics in the building for Violets tale were amazing.
His sweet vocals telling this dark story is an enigma for sure. Oh and can we give a shout out to his cinematographer (Ima guess that’s Samuel)
I’m sitting here watching you all the while knowing how it ends. Your reactions were so raw and real.
man i really enjoyed this reaction to Ren got yourself a new sub!!! man is so talented he can do anything musically..
In violets tale when it shows the end of the hospital bed it shows violets name, and I've also heard asking for "Dr. Violet" at a hospital is code word for abuse. I think it's a really nice touch and I loved your reaction bro
Best reaction to the tales I've seen, seriously! You paused just often enough to show you were truly listening and absorbing the story and always went back so the story didn't get disjointed. That look at the camera after he "rewound" time on the guitar spoke volumes! I'm definitely gonna need to do a deep dive on your vids.
Highly recommend one of the collabs Ren did with Chinchilla... Chalk Outlines (live). It's beautiful and nicely showcases his singing talent. 💜
You My Bro. Man with 3 names here. I SO GLAD YOU FINALLY GOT ROUND TO THIS. Your about to go down the rabbithole again for sure. EDIT... got to the end and you feel how everybody feels the first time hearing this. Emotionally drained. Whatever frewuency this palys out on, its the emotion trigger one. This whole story kicks me in the feels every time
I have the upmost respect for your reaction to the ending even tho I wanted to see how it made you feel but that 2 seconds at the end told me everything much love keep grinding
Quite possibly the best reaction to any song I've ever seen, thank you 👍
Just epic... new sub after this... I can't wait to see what's next
I reacted the exact same way when it tragically came together. A tragedy of cycles of violence and systems
It did the same to me mate . He lives in pain every single day . But I love the unique nest of ren
"thats a big ass clock bro" idk why but that had me cracking up. Yes Jay, it is a big ass clock 🤣
Our beloved Brighton Bard strikes again 🤯 His storytelling is unmatched, haunting and vivid to perfection
Great reaction. I am so hooked on reactions to that final line. Doesn't get old ever 🫣
Oh Man Jay, should’ve warned you. No happy ending
Watch Rens band The Big Push do Bongo Bong cover.
That’ll cheer you
Matter of fact react to it if you haven’t it’s nice 👍
Great reaction my friend
Glad I found your channel. Thanks for sharing this amazing artist with the world. #renmakesmusic #RENaissance
He keep harmonizing the fuck out that SHAME......😂😂😂
"I'm not gonna pause it much..."
Goes on to pause every 10 seconds 🤣
Was waiting for this one. Was not disappointed. Great reaction to a great performance!!
Most honest reaction I've seen.
and I've seen a lot.
This broke me the first time and still does every time.
Heart wrenching story. I heard this before, but wanted to see your reaction. Thank you for doing this. That was deep, sometimes there's just nothing to say. I felt your emotions here. Best reaction. God bless
The trilogy is not for the weak. I love this man for how he keeps you on the tippyty toes for 20minutes while just playing the guitar. He's an artist.
My husband says you have great demeanor, and I think you're just amazing what a great reaction thank you for sharing ❤
Best reaction I've ever seen. Reminds me of my first time.
your reaction made me realise Ren, in place of where other writers would put a cliche', he comes up with something new to say the same thing
Great reaction bro. This is definitely a tough one, and your reaction was wholly appropriate for such a heavy topic. I've seen some reactors legit smile through the entire thing, and I'm like...huh??? Glad to see normal genuineness here.
Island patois for sure. He loves dub I feel like and it’s no secret Bob Marley conquered the working class British punks in the 70s and the UK hasn’t been the same since.
I think you’re the only reaction content creator I’ve gone back and watched multiple times without realizing it. Lol
You mirror my own reactions to his music so perfectly. Props bro.
The one thing about Ren is he really knows how to grip you with his storytelling
I haven’t even finished your reaction yet… BUT… its my favourite reaction I have seen by far… and I’ve watched a lot 🙈 Ren is a wordsmith worth of ”bard-ship” (I’m aware I just made up word/term 😂 ) - thank you for your reaction ❤
I love watching reactions to these songs. I always like watching dude's face when he gets to the knocking part of Violet's tale. It gives me hope for humanity, because pretty much every guy gets REAL quiet during that part. The vast majority are like you, mean mugging. We all get mad. We don't like what we're hearing. Which is also a testament to Ren's performance, he invokes an emotion to his listeners... Which is the purest form of art.
I'm 8 months behind on this, but holy fuck. The first time I heard the song, I had to listen to it a second time to make sure I heard EVERY thing this song said...your reaction is exactly how I felt the first time. I teared up and just had to contemplate the whole song...thank you, for being genuine.
I agree! Lol I felt the same way!!! Thank u for cheering me up , watching u react was as much fun as listening to Ren 4 the 1st time 😊
Oh I knew you’d get to this sometime soon. It really socks you in the gut and breaks your heart. Ren is brilliant. ❤️🔥
Hands down the best reaction to this masterpiece and I've seen many.
Credit due.
His pre song yodeling just get you in the place you need to be for the song… noticed the tone in others and where he wants to take you
That was amazing. Ren must have masterd playing that guitar while in his room allday in pain suffering, have heard him play piano aswel and it sounded like he's masterd that too, a wonder what other instruments he can play, like he says in hi ren, I am a genius,
Amazing..great reaction 👍.. 😎🔥🔥
Ren is a beast
It would be insane if they made a movie to this. He is absolutely amazing
