The tale of Jenny was based on a newspaper article he read about a boy who mugged and killed a prostitute, the tale of Screech and Voilet was just further from his own imagination. The reason you hear the ocean and seagulls on Violets tale is because it was shot in Brighton which is near the ocean. Yes Violet was the mother who died giving birth after being beaten up. So the father Stevie probably went to jail and they went to foster care. They got split up and grew up not knowing each other and then they meet on the streets 14 years later and Screech kills his own sister not knowing who she was. Jenny was quite and timid like her mother and Screech was violent and crazy like his father. They were born together on the same night and died on the same night. The history of violence repeats itself.
Seagulls are scavengers and will feed on flesh, it's an edited sound, although you think Ren conjured up a flock of seagulls at that exact moment 😂, but seagulls are to be seen and found on the River Thames ... the story is set in London, not Brighton ... Ren is a genius and I adore him but he is not Dr Dolittle (animal flow) nor is he David Attenborough (King Dotta Diss), so please don't hate me all .... just saying ❤
@@davemcc9642 Yes, the seagulls were added for effect. The story is indeed set in London but it is performed in Brighton and I believe that is why he added the seagulls. I lived in London for decades and I only once saw a seagull. I have no idea what your Dr Dolittle or David Attenborough comments mean.
Are Jennie and Screech Stevie's children? The song hints that they are not. If violet was housed at a welfare scheme at the age of 16 she would have had to be "in priority need". That probably means she was already pregnant, presumably by her father. That might then explain why Stevie calls her a slut and what it was that he says she hadn't told him. Had he just found out that he was not the father of her child/children? Just a thought. It would make sense.
It’s a one take in the back streets of Brighton, a seaside town on the south coast of England hence the seagulls
Maybe you have figured out that a bunch of obsessed Renegades LOVE watching reactors discover Ren. It is especially great when it is from someone like you who I see can really appeciate the talent! ❤
Thank you 🙏
Since you're a metalhead, you should check out Ren with his band, The Big Push. They did a mash-up that includes War Pigs, Rage Against the Machine, etc.
On it 👍
And youll realise Ren doesnt stick to one genre. He has a bunch of rap beauties, Genesis, Power, The Hunger, Seven Sins off his award winning album Sick Boi, abliet particular favs of mine, and Im not been a fan of rap.
His busking with his band The Big Push are a revelation as are many others collaborating with friends of his.
Well worth a look.
That is an EPIC one!
I'm 69 and I've seen lots of musical innovation across lots of genres, but Ren is unique and very special. I've never come across anyone quite like him. His writing is second to none and everything he does is immaculately planned. This is performance art of an incredibly high standard............. and to cap it all he seems like a really nice bloke! I'm intrigued to follow his career. It is virtually unheard of for an independent artist to top the album charts in the UK like he did with his Sick Boi album..... it's always nice to see someone shake up the self obsessed 'hierarchy'...... Money Game 3 is genius!!
52 Nan of 6 & 💯 with you on all you’ve said - he’s gunna be remembered & the world will know his name 🙏❤️ Beyond phenomenal artist, musician, lyricist, actor & top notch human 😊
The seagulls can be heard because all three Tales are filmed live. No cuts. Something Ren does a lot of. Also, it explains why all the reverb in the hallway and stairs. In a recent interview with The Charismatic Voice, Ren talked about the painstakingly meticulous way we mixes his live videos. And they sound good!
And it's film in Brighton - an hour south from London, city by the north sea.
I thought it was supposed to be an ambulance or police siren where he mentioned it. Though I've never listened in good headphones so maybe there are that I'm just not picking up.
I guess the sound of the seagulls appear in this very moment, because that's when the reality hits back for Stevie and Violet. Before that they both were so sucked in in this scene of violance, that they forgot about the reality. The moment Stevie realized what he did, the sound of something extremly real overflows him, like the waves of the ocean.
The acoustics are part of the live recording captured at the time of the
performance
Due to severe depression and immense loneliness for more than 3 decades, i almost completely lost my ability to experience joy, any joy. Nothing excites me anymore.
But Music and good, meaningful lyrics have always been a love of mine, healing, calming, letting me FEEL something again.
At the beginning of 2023 i stumbled upon "Hi Ren" on TH-cam. And it hit me like a punch to the stomach. Never before in my life have i felt so heard and understood.
REN is a once in a generation artist, multi - instrumentalist, a phenomenal, modern day Shakespearean storyteller, lyricist, bard, rapper, producer, creative *genius.*
And i have fallen in love with music again, he has lit a fire in me that i thought was completely lost. Yes, REN changes lives. And i love him for that.
Don't worry. Pretty sure the jacket is purely for fashion. He's in Brighton, England, where they know as much about american football as we know about cricket.
Such great story telling in this trilogy. It starts with Jenny walking home late at night. At the end of Violet's tale we realize that Jenny was 14 years old walking the streets late at night in high heel shoes and rosie on her cheeks. This paints a whole new image of her. In Screech's tale he starts the song by saying we start the song right at the end because in chronological order Screech would be the final tale. At the end of Screech's tale he says the story ends right at the start with the image of Jenny and Screech lying one street apart foreshadowing to the end of Violet's tale and twins lying side by side.
And then all neatly wrapped in a bow in Violet's tale with the life of Violet being one of violence and abuse resulting in her death and the twins likely separated at birth. A masterful story played out acted and narrated by Ren
Ren is a modern day bard painting such vivid imagery with his storytelling that it pulls you in and forces you to keep watching - even when it gets physically uncomfortable. And Ren uses this ability to shed light on far too real issues.
Also you might be as excited as the rest of us to know that Ren and his cinematographer Sam plan on filming a pilot to pitch something for Netflix sometime next year when Ren has finished treatments in Canada and is back in the UK. If Netflix doesn’t jump on it and give this man his own show, they are fools 😅
Anyway please check out Crutch feat. Bibi. As a metalhead I think you will love it 🖤
Ren is every genre, and he is his own genre. The rabbit hole is deep my friend, i’m looking forward to seeing you explore everything Ren.
Ren is 33, from Wales but has been living in Brighton for some years. Until recently, he was also in a band, The Big Push. There are lots of their videos too, usually busking on the streets of Brighton. Their mash up of I Shot the Sheriff / Road to Zion / Hip Hop is wonderful - the video with the red braces.
Ren has/has had some serious health problems from years of undiagnosed Lymes disease, which has left him with multiple health problems. It derailed his career - he'd just been signed by Sony, but they had to let him go because he was too ill to work.
Now, he's an independent artist working with a small group of friends who are involved with producing videos etc. His second album just got to number 1 in the UK charts.
He's been in Canada for the last 12 months undergoing treatment.
Also, look out for his collaborations with Chinchilla, Sam Tomkins, Eden Nash.
The Ren rabbit hole is a whole warren.
Each part is a live, one take performance so the sound is natural with no reverb. Recorded in Brighton, a seaside town in England hence the seagulls. Nice reaction.
Seagulls galore when there is a chance of easy food and as dawn rises (Brighton resident).
Everything Ren does in his videos is strategic. The attention to detail is incredible.
Its being filmed in Brighton, which is on the south coast of England, that is why you can hear seagulls - just ambient noise as they're recording outside.
Each tale is a one take - no edits.
I'd suggest doing Money Game. It's in 3 parts, and while each one can stand alone, they make more sense when watched in sequence.
Enjoying your reaction.
Don't take offence at the jacket, in the UK its just an American style jacket. In another video someone said he was wearing a Dolphin's shirt 🤷♀️
Ren also has quite a few bangers, like "Down on the Beat" and "Losing It". The first features Viktus, who plays the pig character in his videos, and is out of the mask in several other videos, including "Losing It".
Violet was jenny and screeches mum they was adopted as kids so never knew each other thats why he rewinds the hands of time in violets tale..2005 from the year he brought this out was 14 years earlier they are both 14 ..says screeches age in one of the tales..you gotta react to money game 1, 2 and 3 youl love them ..
The above nailed it!!!
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole, you will never be the same again! Much love ❤
Jenny and James (aka screech) is UK equivalent of John and Jane doe. That guitar riff in the hospital bed was to rewind to 2005 to tell the story of of the parents.
Another RENegade subscribing - we all love Ren & The Big Push - & Chinchilla - you're embarking on a roller coaster ride down the Ren rabbit hole
@20:25. Ren spent a lot of time in Brighton.. which is a costal town in England. The local football team's nickname are the "Seagulls"
Also, this one and Hi Ren were both recorded live. That's natural reverb! Also, that's where the seagulls came from. Just noise from the environment.
Hahaha i agree with the Cowboys statement 🤣 (coming from a poor old Bearcats and Bengals fan lol)... If you noticed in the 1st video he's wearing a throwback Nebraska Cornhusker's jacket. Both were powerhouses in the 90s and Ren LOVES the 90s.
Ha! You’ve found the Renegades. We can get a little too excited but mean well. I love how quickly process all the little details in his work. Every breath seems to be intentional. I’m glad you like it.
I'm so glad you did this one! My suggestion would be to hit Money Game parts 1-3 next. They are all great. For Money Game 2, be sure to pick the official lyric video. There is a live version, but it is not complete (it's only one of the verses). Part 3 is recent, and it's a fucking masterpiece!
I agree, on to money game!
Yessss..
The big push Praise You cover. The positivity from Ren fans is unparalleled. The big push. I shot the Sheriff, Road to Zion and hip hop mashup super good live basking on the streets of Brighton. I’ve been going down the red rabbit hole for the last six months. It’s amazing the quantity and quality of his work. Chalk outline with chinchilla amazing most of his stuff is one take money, game part 1, two and three. Ren love music, part 1 through four
The 'such a shame' line he repeats at the end of Jenny's & Screech's tales is a comment on society when we hear or read of such awful tragedies that's often said then people just carry on without another thought. How desensitized some have become we hear so many awful things day in & out. There is nothing really in these tales far fetched enough to not have the possibility of being true, sobering thought 😔 loved your "WTF" reaction 😊 Ren can mess your mind in the best possible ways 😊
If you want even more theatrical ren, check out the money game series specifically 1 and 3. Ren has said jennys tale was inspired by a true story he had read about when i was 18 or so, the other two tales are just ren being the master wordsmith he is 💜💜 he is also so clever with how he uses silence, like you mentioned. You see it a lot in his music. Silence can speak more than words sometimes. Also, he lived in brighton in the uk, its right on the ocean 😉
Awesome I’ll add it to the ren list thank you 🙏
@@GP42Reacts yeah bro take that money game trip. It's as awesome ❤️
You hear seagulls because Ren Wants you to hear seagulls!!! Brighton of course. I am not from the UK, yet have always understood Brighton is a seaside town. Ren makes the most of what he has around him and draws from real life. You will enjoy the Ren rabbit hole of differing masterpieces which elicit a variety of emotions from heartfelt tears, to dark emotions , to wonderfully upbeat, cheery ditties. Enjoy, there is not a bad song amongst his collection (although some I might not listen to regularly, I can appreciate the skill of them and the performance). Edited to add: he did it (a live version of this trilogy) on a 360 degree stage in a carpark. (where Screech's tale was filmed?) Look for it on his channel. It is Interactive - so move it like google maps to watch the crowd etc....
Thank you for your reaction.
In case no one has told you: Ren will never copyright strike a Reactor and he allows Reactors to monitize his songs. Any YT bot auto strike just contest it and Ren has a part of his team ready and able to clear it for you.
"A rising tide lifts all ships" is a favored mindset of Ren. Welcome to the world and harbor of Ren.
oh debbie you sound very interesting
Nice reaction. You commented on Ren using his surroundings like the stairwell for reverb. You'll see in "Chalk Outlines" that he does with a woman named Chinchilla uses the surroundings for effect too. I see you've done one of his songs busking with the Big Push now; much of Ren's music is unconventional rap, but he's got a ton of range. Bongo Bong with the Big Push is a fun, silly remake of the song. He's got a homage to the Beastie Boys with "What You Want". The guy can just do a ton of different stuff.
The idea came from a news story in the UK about a 14 year old who killed someone. (Or something like that). Generational poverty and trauma. Time for Money Game 1 though 3. You can do them separately this time. "Money Game" is a live one-take again (possibly my favorite). Money Game 2 is a lyric video (so good) and Money Game 3 is live again.
You are in the room sunshine. Acoustics trump effects
Answer why you hear seagulls: It's filmed in Brighton, right next to the beach.
Ren is a Genius...amazing trilogy...thanks for reacting❤
Ideas?
Hi Ren - he's talking about his own experience. Strikes a chord with everyone - universal experience.
The Tales - I've heard that the idea was based on a news story. Delivered in the style of a Shakespeare play.
Money Game - self explanatory when you watch them.
You can hear seagulls and the sea because it’s done in Brighton which is a seaside town. Defo need more REN! Just subbed for more 🖤
Loved your reaction! You could see it on your face when it all clicked together😳
Each song was filmed live all done in one take, it was filmed in his hometown of Brighton a seaside town in the UK that's why you hear seagulls.
The snow effect coming down on screen freaked me out at first, then I got it. After your first pausing of the video, I noticed Santa in the top left and laughed; now I keep seeing him pop out lmao. Ren is phenomenal! (everything else has pretty much been said, so I won't repeat (anything else haha)). Great reaction dude, just wish that your square was a bit smaller so it doesn't cut part of the middle of the video off (just a thought).
On Ren's TH-cam Channel he has him doing the trilogy live in one of the alleyways he recorded one of the three videos in. It was recorded before he blew up but it's amazing seeing how many fans show up and packed the area. Even Ren was taken back by the turnout.
But he has a PA set up that he uses busking, a little stage and everyone in almost total silence in awe watching him sign and act out all three songs and he even added a fourth that doesn't at all contribute to the story, but it's a good filler that adds to the live performance.
He put it out on the internet ejat
Bro, you did a good job 👏 the best cryptic clue to the final twist came at the end of Screechs tale when he sings "our story it ends, right at the start"... thats a reference to Violets tale being the beginning of the story, their birth. 🤯 its also a reversal of how he starts Screechs tale... "our story it starts, right at the end.... (of the life of poor Jenny)" . Hes a fucking alien 😂 next level genius 🔥
I didn’t notice that geeez
@GP42Reacts don't worry, noone does!! Me included! I've watched it 100 times and still notice new things 😂
I don't know how much of him you've picked up so far but he's so multi-faceted.
Here's my recommendations...
His band - The Big Push - I shot the sheriff (the red braces version), War Pigs, Sweet little lady (and acoustic version)
His rapping - The Hunger, Illest of our time, Love Music 3 (but watch all 4).
His Collabs - 'Chalk Outlines' and 'How to be me' with Chinchilla. 'Worth it/ Man's World' and 'Waking on the Moon/ No Diggity' with Sam Tomkins.
His Political/ Societal stuff - 'Money Game' 1-4 in order. Sick Boi.
Retakes/ Remixes - Losing It, Praise You, Right Here right now.
That will keep you busy, you may forget about Tom McDonald for a while! 😂😂
Just hit the sub button, looking forward to the journey 'mo chara' (Google it) Peace from Ireland 🇮🇪
The seagulls as others mention are part of the background of Brighton (so the English Channel not the Ocean) but I believe it's seagull sample used for dramatic emphasis. He uses a seagull sample to emphasise in his retake of the Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony". Like you say, everything he adds in is done for a reason. This is the first reaction I've seen you do and I like your music love, easy sub. Thank you.
Thank you for this great reaction! I have seen a lot of reactors react to this piece of artwork for the past 10 months or so, and you are the first to mention the fade out when Screach died. I happen to love that part and you are the first to notice. It's like the spirit leaving the body. Such an awesome effect. Thank you! I am a new sub. Please react to Ren's Sick Boi
RENegade here.🐷Nice reaction dude. Ren has loads of music to check out but definitely do Money Game 1,2 and 3. Ren makes his own beats, is fond of making one shot live videos and is fully independent with a great and talented team of mates behind him. His story is inspiring and makes what he has achieved even more impressive. Subbed and ready for more!!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 🙏
You hear seagulls because Brighton where Ren lives lays by the sea
His style has been dubbed "BardCore"... Quite fitting!
By the way, there's a LIVE 360 video of this trilogy where he performs it on an outdoor stage. It's amazing. There are little kids in the audience singing along with the lyrics.
Those seagulls squawking are typical sounds of Brighton in the UK.....
Another metal head here just to say I felt the same way when I heard this, now I live for Ren's one take genius it's nothing like I have ever seen and I am convinced there is no genre of music that Ren can't completely dominate with ease. Once you see him perform on the streets of Brighton in the band The Big Push I shot the I Shot the Sheriff / Road to Zion / Hip Hop, it all becomes clear why I believe this.
I enjoyed your reaction to this. Every time I watch it I feel like I have been transported through time and am merrily frolicking, meandering down some winding path as the Pied Piper continues to play 10 yards in front of me.
Loved your reaction. Ren shot this in Brighton which is at the beach, thus the gulls. You will find the farther down the Ren rabbit hole he is a musical genius. Looking forward to more!
I am so excited to see you go down the rabbit hole that is the RENiverse! You are intelligent, intuitive, clearly artistic, articulate, quick witted, appreciative, expressive- you are the exact kind of reactor who belongs on the Ren Rollercoaster, and the exact kind of reactor that the RENegades LOVE to react to. PLEASE stay the course! I’ve subbed in anticipation of many more EXCELLENT REN reactions to come! PS. When you said that Ren does everything with purpose, you couldn’t be more accurate. In that hall scene, you’ll notice he finishes that section by singing, “The devil comes to danceeeeeee”… he is so intentional, that he holds out the S sound in dance as he slithers over to the door to knock on it, to signify the sound a snake makes (and everyone knows that a snake represents evil/satan/the devil). Every lighting technique, every bar, every flick of the wrist, every pluck or strum of the strings… it all has purpose. He IS a GENIUS.
Thank you 🙏
Rens biggest dream us to have a netflix show in the atyle of this. Different stories every episode. Hopefully one day
New sub here bro. Welcome to your rabbit hole journey. We will be with you for the while ride. Renagades through and through ❤
Ren said his dream is to have a Netflix series, which he is working towards
All 3 songs were recored live. He has a lappelle mic on. So the acoustics you hear when he goes in the stairs is totaly environmental. Also the Seagals.
A good reaction, thank you. I have heard it said many times, as you did, that Ren could write plays and with his vivid imagination he just might. Looking forward to many more Ren reactions in the future. On a technical note, you might want to consider drooping the size of your inset box by just a little as it seems to block a substantial portion of the video at the moment. Thanks again.
You heard him say "to set the scene we must rewind "....he made the rewind sound on guitar.....ok Violet gave birth to Jenny and Screech, then she died and Stevie, the father, would have gone to jail for doing it which put the babies in the system and assume they were adopted or fostered separately so never knew each other
The video was filmed in Brighton at night, as usual without permission...and it is live! One takes are a trademark of Ren.
This were three interconnected one takes.
"wow, wait, what"...the more u watch Ren the more you'll say that...
Brighton, where they filmed this is a seaside town, hence seagulls.
Great reaction. Ren is a 🔥Artist in his own lane with a old school vibe
Great reaction! Mind blowing to say the least isn’t it 🤯 Mad Renegade here & followed The Big Push for a few years now - Enjoy the deep, deep, beautiful, soul altering rabbit hole ❤
Violet was their Mum, she’s passed at birth, they’ve grown up orphans not knowing they had a twin. Their life trajectory’s set up by genetics & environment led poor Jenny (quiet like her mum) to a life “on the red light street” & Screech to violence & anger like his dad. Brother killed his sister - And it’s such a shame! I’ve read it’s loosely based on a news article Ren had read. There is an interesting & visceral back story video out there where he set the scene for these tales - a prequel performed with his friends, Ren acting as Screech & his friends Jenny, Patrick etc - it nearly got banned from insta (I think it was) as it was thought to be “real”.
Interesting fact: Patrick wasn’t home at No. 54 & “Babe” his GF was busy when he called…..I’ll leave it there 👍🏻😊
wait.....wha... yes that's a reaction many of us have had when first hearing the twisted circular tale ( it reminds me of ouroboros, the circular serpent eating it's own tail) violence begats violence. I first watched your reaction to the war pigs mash up and would recommend you listen to I shot the sheriff which was recorded on the same day as war pigs... another amazing performance. There are so many great songs by this guy and so many different genres that he seems to be at home with.. not a singer, not a rapper but a true performance artist the likes of which or seen all too rarely. Subbed to watch more insightful reactions from you. ... oh and yes well spotted the under lying reggae tones found in so many of his songs.
Great Reaction! I fell in love with Ren and those reacting to his masterpieces. I've seen more than one guy have to stop the video when the spot the Cowboys jacket, and I thought one in particular was going to lose it completely. His wife was able to reel him back in by convincing him that Ren was not Ren at the moment, but acting as Screech - the real asshole wearing the Cowboys jacket was Screech. It worked for him. 🤷♀️ ymmv.
As for videos to react to of Ren's and a couple from his guest featured artists....
The Money Game trilogy - as mentioned, Money Game 2 should be the Lyric video, not the live version as the live version is missing verses and is more spoken word. Very disappointing when reactors get this wrong. These three productions are going to blow your mind.

Welcome to the Rabbit Hole.
I was so shocked by this that it took me several days to have the courage to look at it again. So, I felt your reaction. Thank you, and please keep the Ren reactions coming.
The Money Game trilogy provide more examples of Ren's "Bardcore" style. However, there is much more than that to enjoy (e.g. reggae, Rap/Hip Hop, ballads....),.So buckle up for a wonderous ride!
More on the way man
Yeah it took me a while to cope with this one okay now though
Ren is truly a musical genius. His storytelling is phenomenal! Really enjoyed your reaction to this masterpiece ❤❤
Just subscribed for Ren.
Seagulls because this was performed and filmed in Brighton Beach
A lot of his stuff is like 10 minute musicals. He’s not genre - he’s an artist, with a mission.
Do 2 a week - I’ll follow.
Firstly the reason why you heard seagulls might be simpler then you think:
Ren records those live... And when you record stuff live you might just hear seagulls not because of some creative decision but simply because they where close by.
Secondly as far as I know the story originated from a news article Ren read that made him think "what could drive a young boy to do something like that?"
But I myself spend some time at psych wards, like Ren, and I can tell you that you hear and meet people with such stories there... I guess some of the inspiration also came from such experiences.
3:00 What is CRAZY is that my favorite reactors to Ren are themselves GUITAR PLAYERS! Love it! (Sorry that you are getting over a cold. Hope you get better soon!) Loving your reaction, so far! 🙂❤
To me, the reason for so much appreciation for Ren's Tale of Jenny and Screech is it shows Ren's tremendous empathy for the tragedy of us humans. It hurts him so he is compelled to illustrate the horrible taking of life and shining a light on it, maybe we will, somehow try to do better?
For your subsequent viewing of this trilogy there is a single compilation so you won't have to put up with the ads....cool reaction.
You hear seagulls and the ocean in the background because (despite the story being set in London) it is filmed in Brighton, where Ren lives. Brighton is a beach town on the south coast of England. The audio you hear in all 3 parts is all recorded live during the shooting of the video. The reason you hear the reverb in the building is because that's actually the acoustics in the building. He's boosted bits here and there to clean it all up, but this is in essence, 3 single take videos (audio and visuals) stitched together
Loved your reaction. You can't really miss with Ren.
Great reaction, friend. I'm sure we all felt the same way after watching this the first time!! Ren is magnificent!
It’s not seagulls - it’s the sound of ambulance sirens in the UK
hello dear! i believe ren is a fan of the style and not the team, i could be wrong. at one time i heard ren was working up something for netflix, perhaps based on the tales. who knows. hey dude, you're rocking this channel-that's why we're here! kathleen bts renegade
Thank you
Cowboys jacket is perfect. It's Screech afterall. 😆
Just watched your two Ren reactions. I am sure the “Renegades” will assist you in the comments. I just want to say, as a lifelong NY Giants fan, you had me with your Cowboys and Eagles commentary (🤣🤣). Enjoy your analysis on the songs/videos. Also, welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. This very, very deep and diverse. On your way down you will be introduced to other great artists that you probably haven’t heard of until you see them. Like Ren’s band The Big Push or His collabs with Chinchilla, Sam Tompkins, Eden Nash and others. You will also be amazed at just how much content Ren has put out. Enjoy
Thanks man hopefully you guys get your qb situation figured out
@@GP42Reacts We’re riding with Tommy cutlets till he moves out of his parents house !!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@GP42Reacts Haha, had to laugh at the Dallas comment. I'm not a fan either. Still have PTSD from the Aikman days when they would beat my Packers every time they played. Kept them from advancing in the playoffs so many times! Also, Philly knocked the Packers out with a completed pass on 4th and 24! LOL. Still hurts. Guess they probably didn't deserve to go if they couldn't stop them right?
Loving your Ren reactions!
😅 when I first watched this I felt like I witnessed a crime 😮 thanks for a great reaction 😊
a reactor with Wentworth millers eyes, who loves Christmas and guitars, Subscribed! 😂
Welcome to the renagades ❤ you did realy good ❤
You hear seagulls as the video was shot in Brighton.
BTW, here are some other rabbit holes to get started down:
Electric Callboy - "Hypa Hypa"
In This Moment - "Big Bad Wolf"
Avatar - "Bloody Angel"
The Hu - "Wolf Totem"
Otyken - "Altay"
Jenny’s Tale came first and was based on a real event ( a 14 y.o. killed a woman with a knife). Screech’s Tale came a year later and Violet’s Tale came 3 years after. Ren has said that he has ADHD ( as do I) and while he was confined to his bed for long stretches of time ( upwards of 23 hours a day) his mind, when not in a fog brought on by constant pain , was working…overtime. When he was able to,he made music on his computer from his bed and I have no doubt that there are notebooks filled with lyrics, poems, beats… all drawing a picture of what his active mind stuck in an inactive body looked, felt , and sounded like.
He is clearly well read and intelligent beyond just the obvious “IQ” - he is also highly emphatically ,ranking equally high in EQ. It’s how his songs are not just songs ; they are narratives , they are stories , they paint a picture. They are art. And art, in all its forms, is meant to provoke a feeling, a thought, an emotion.
These are recorded live and in one take in these spaces! This is why you hear the reverb change when he moves from room to room (especially evident in Violet's tale), and you can hear the seagulls when he's outside. You can see his lapel mic. 🙂
You gotta do some of the hip hop now. Sick Boi, Genesis, Power…you really can’t go wrong with our Renny Boi!
He has iver 60 songs and they are all bangers. He hinestly dosnt miss bro. Guys on point!!
I understand the location for violet's tale was the basement of a friends apartment block, the hospital room was the bicycle storage room which they cleared out and 'dressed' for the shoot. The hospital bed was something Ren ordered from Argos and when it arrived it turned out he had ordered a childs bed so they had to put packing under the legs to get it to work for the story. The imagination to put all the elements together to produce this is phenomonal. He does it time and again. Mudererer and Bongo Bongo same location, as are parts of losing it. Animal flow is apparently also a friend's apartment.
Animal Flow was shot in the same building as Violet's tale (according to a Viktus interview) just upstairs. This is the same doorway Ren eventually walks through at the end into the alley where his "animal followings" then gatheres behind him.
There's no need to cover the image. Ren doesn't stop any reactors from his playing his videos. He appreciates that reactors have got him the exposure he has now.
The back story I heard, which is probably mostly accurate, is that he saw a small back page article in a newspaper that without much detail reported a 14 yr old female's death and ended with "what a shame " Ren supposedly feel that was disingenuous and cold, and thus wrote this trilogy to humanize the scenario with a bit of the cycle of violence as a bigger picture motif
Violet gave birth to Jenny and James (Screech), then she died. The rest is ambiguous, but it's fair to assume Stevie the Father went to prison, and the twins were separated and put into foster care, which we can tell was a success for these kids. Also notable is that Jenny stayed silent just like her Mother did the night she was killed. As far as the birds, I believe this was recorded live in Brighton, which is right on the shoreline, so the I think the birds made it in unexpectedly, and were kept. All these were live, one takes, which makes it even more impressive.
If you watch Animal Flow you will noticed that this is the same building, On here he started in the bike locker with the hospital bed. All 3 of these songs were done on less than a 100 pounds not bad.
It’s because it’s all a one take and he uses the natural reverb from the buildings when he walks from Hall to Hall and up staircases and then it’s where he records. The purpose for you to hear the seagulls is the location.
Loving your honest reactions. Welcome down the ren rabbit hole, it's definitely a journey. Thank you 👍
Absolutely loved your reaction! I love Metal music myself and I discovered Ren last year & I have been a Renegade since. I even enjoy his hip hop sound cuz it’s different. This guy is multi-talented and a genre bender. You will love the band The Big Push that he was part of. Sadly he is going through treatments in Canada now for Lyme disease but he is still producing music. Subbed!
You can’t go wrong, but I think now that you have been clobbered with his “performance art” masterpieces, i would enjoy immensely your reactions to two Big Push street performances: “I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/ HipHop” medley and “War Pigs” medley. You could do them both in the time you just spent on the trilogy. They are incredible and a totally different side of him.
