From New Zealand, I found this song 2 weeks ago ... Had never heard of Ren either, took a deep dive into his other works. Speechless at his brilliance. The whole world should know about Ren. He is something else entirely.
You should check out the Big Push, they were a busking band based in Brighton UK, and importantly Ren was a part of that band...and you can find them on TH-cam and other site's. 😀
Shout out to a fellow kiwi...I want to send this to everyone I know who is struggling
Another Kiwi here, I found this 2 days ago and can't stop watching and sharing it.
Discovered him three nights ago in the Netherlands (your exact antipodes, dig a good 'le tunnel and you' can visit us).
Now on a Ren spree (and spreading the word). Tjezus this guy is brilliant.
the whole world is picking up on it about 100,000 people a day by my count lol
I'm 69 years old, and discovered Ren only last week. Wow!! I feel like he gave me an artistic blood transfusion!! Loved your reaction, man - although I watched through tear-stained eyes 👏👏
Ren has built his entire music career on sharing his content and he encourages people to share on all platforms. He would thank you, rather than ask you to take it down.
Not to mention, there's quite a few of us who are already Ren fans and have already heard these songs but it's exciting to see others becoming intrigued by and falling in love with Ren's music. It's amazing!
💯%🔥👊🧡👍🔥
Correct, he has watched and commented on many reactions for this song.
I'm 54 years old and generally more into old-school music than recent stuff, but this video blew me away and I haven't been able to stop watching it since. I hesitate to call it a song, because it's so much more than that, but glad to see I'm not the only one it's had such an impact on. Great reaction - the first of yours I've seen. Keep it up. 👍
Beat you by 2 years. I 100% agree. This is unique and needs to be known. I am very moved by this song/lyrical miracle.
Same here...have to watch it multiple times a day. Instantly became my favorite 'rap' song of 2022. I'll be 67 this summer. Got to keep up with the 'recent stuff' too!
i'll put my self in the list. i had never heard of Ren before, So the release of this was the first. i have a cousin in Ireland who is a poet and musicianBoth of us talk about the chaos and beauty of the world and share what we called 'layered vocals' . the talent and authenticity of this blows me right open. I have been very ill most of my life but just had to push through. I've listened ot this probably 3 times a day since it came out, and have found Ren's other music too. This morning this finally cracked open and i am grateful to breathe . I like all types of music for the most part but am particularly picky about rap, only a couple I like. oh, ya, 63 if we are counting
@@alysmarcus7747 I'm the same way as you about rap. My taste there is quite narrow. I love the fact that my comment seems to have drawn response from the more senior end of the audience though - can't believe I've ended up being the youngest one in the thread so far. Didn't see that coming. 😂
I’m 56. I discovered Ren a few weeks ago and I’m completely in awe of his talent. I like many genres of music, as long as it’s quality and Ren is the real deal. His music is incredible. The power of this song is off the charts. I hope we see a hell of a lot more of his music in the future because I absolutely can’t get enough of it.
This is a stand alone masterpiece. It belongs as a permanent fixture in the Tate. This is performance art at its very best, Wouldn't be out of place in the company of starry night, the Mona Lisa, and Munchs scream. Simply fabulous.
There are two type of ARTISTS..Those who make art,and those like REN who’s life is a form of art and have no choice but deliver…pure genius this man
In real life Ren really suffered from autoimmune disease and psychotic breaks. He still battles it everyday.
That why his music is so powerful and genuine and frankly beautiful..because he's REALLY suffered and puts it all into his music its visceral on another level than other musicians.
know what that is like- dealt with severe auto immune illness over 30 years....felt connected to this music
My dad was a genius classical pianist. I wish he were still alive to hear this song. He would have been blown away.
I was speechless the first time I listened to the song. I have never seen so many reviewers left speechless by it also.
Ren will love you sharing it. I've never seen so many reaction videos on a song. Enjoy the Ren rabbit hole.
I've done nothing for 3 days watching most of them.
He's an inspiration to alot of people.. as real as it comes.
Wishing him good health 🎶❤
I know Ren doesn't care about the BS industry, but he deserves every accolade and industry wide recognition for Hi Ren. Seriously, this should be song of the year, video of the year, mental health awareness campaign of the year, and more. Calling on all Ren fans - let's make this happen. Download everywhere, share everywhere, lobby everywhere. Salute. Peace.
For some more context on Hi Ren, here is what Ren posted regarding Hi Ren on an earlier video description (this was written before he released Hi Ren in December 2022):
"Nina Simone once said that it was an artists duty for their work to fearlessly reflect their life circumstances.
In 2016 I had a stem cell transplant that saved my life, this video was taken two year before that. After the transplant I decided to force my past into a little box and hide it from myself. I wouldn't ever watch this video back. There has always been a part of me that's terrified that I'll end up back here and loose myself again. That part of me always gets loudest when I'm on my own with my thoughts.
When I got better and my music started becoming successful after years of never thinking it would be possible I almost treated it as a reincarnation. I'd barley talk about where I'd come from with friends, but despite my best efforts my past usually found a way to leak into my music.
Here I was convinced I was going to die. I was severely underweight, I had severe bone pain every day, I could barley eat food, I suffered extreme fatigue to the point even standing in a shower was excruciating. I ended up in a state of stress induced psychosis, my minds only rational explanation for the level of suffering I was enduring was that it was some kind of demonic intervention or that i was part of some twisted experiment or study. This had been my life for years. I'd bounced from doctor to doctor full of hope only to have my heart repeatedly stamped on when my condition only worsened.
Cut to present day and PTSD from years of my body torturing itself stopped me from doing work that I think is vital. Shedding light on a very under-lit , underfunded, and barley understood area. The plight of the chronically sick. Millions of people all over the world are missing. Trapped inside themselves. Conditions like ME/CFS, ehlers danlos syndrome, POTS, MCAS, lyme disease, M.S. etc. Receive such little funding. To put the lack of funding into perspective, male pattern receives over one thousand times the funding than many of these chronic illnesses do combined. Recent studies found the quality of life of a person with chronic M.E. was significantly worse than someone with HIV or breast cancer. M.E. is currently one of the most underfunded disease at the national institute of health.
I was one of the exceptionally few very lucky people to escape before I died after receiving a stem cell transplant and finding a hugely restrictive diet that stopped my autoimmunity flaring to the point where it was disabling but I still suffer a wide array of symptoms every day.
To dive deeper into living up to the words of the late and great Nina Simone, who has for a long time been a great source of inspiration for me, I wanted my next piece of work to fearlessly stare my past in the face despite the trauma of doing so.
'Hi Ren' comes out on the 15th December at 7pm."
Wait... He SAT on this for SEVEN years? He's... 25 in this video? Dang! He was ahead of his time before I even thought! I had no idea! Thank you for sharing these details here.
@@christinegingrich3926 the song not the video
Thanks for this.
Its awesome to see how many people are finding Ren.
I watched Hi Ren for the first time yesterday evening.. I’ve since watched it about 40 times.. I understand it, but I still cannot articulate what it is I understand. This reaches into the very core of me. It’s as profound as the writings of Zhuangzi or Lao Tzu and equally sincere and drenched in intuitive insight and wisdom.. I’m 47 years old, I love everything from Aphex twin, to Minutemen, Minor Threat to Bjork. The Dubliners to Bob Dylan. Nothing has shook me like Ren has. Genius? I think this song is up there with ‘Its alright ma’ by Dylan. Profound and truly beautiful.. ❤ 人 ❤️
I feel the same...Well said❤️
@@lifeofreilly9943 Im 55 and seen and heard most of the greats and nothing has ever hit me so hard. Maybe a one-off? Then I watched the Jenny & Screech trilogy and he got me again. It's simply incredible work.
Watching people's reactions to this is so much fun. It's like having a Fabergé hand-grenade thrown at your emotions. The impact of the Artistic explosion effects people so differently. This was most similar to how I reacted. Pretty much just awestruck.
I'm 48 and have been involved in music for years ..Ren is the most interesting, talented and unique artist to come out of the UK for as long as I can remember..!
since Amy winehouse imo that talent level.
Agree. No one has excited me so much, since I first heard Bowie in.the 70s.
@@distanceismyplastercast strange, I was thinking Bowie as well 👍
@@santoy1000 Yeah, but needs to someone of that level and guess they don't come around that often.
FYI if you haven't heard her check out a girl.called Angelina Jordan. Simply, astounding once in a generation voice. Can't say much about her song writing yet, as she's only 17 and nit written much. But are around 100 covers out there in YT, most out do the original and like Ren they are one shot live vids, if her plus a piano or acoustic guitar and most not even rehearsed, you can literally watch turning her head to read the lyrics off her Ipad and interviews both her guitarists say they never rehearsed and that the vids are the first and only take
@@distanceismyplastercast I remember that girls jaw dropping rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody..was ridiculous ..! 👍 dont know too much else about her but she really put her own thing into that cover and was on another level..! Thanks for that bro. Allie Sherlock is another amazing busker. She’s been making big waves on TH-cam so I’m guessing your probably familiar with her
"Ren is a Wormhole" - that's exactly it - I, like thousands of his followers, see him with one performance and automatically we feel compelled to deep dive and watch everything he has produced- and each piece is so unique, a surprise, covering a multitude of genres. He's a lyrical and performance genius, yet so authentic and humble. His Reach is two- pronged - those who simply enjoy and appreciate his music and performance, and those who resonate with parts of his story as he articulates their own pain and struggles. Imo, he's a born Warrior of Light and is now stepping into his Power to shine his Light of hope, inspiration and validation through the myriad of gifts and talents he has
I found him just a few weeks ago and he is now my favorite artist!! He touch's the fabric of our own humanity. Thank you for sharing!!
I’m a new comer to Ren’s music and I found myself similarly driven to check out more after being blown away by this video. Each reaction video has been similar in that everyone is awestruck by his performance.
I think Ren is an incredible talent that deserves all the praise he is getting.
Ren is a musical and lyrical genius from Brighton, England. He's an incredible storyteller.
I love in this track how he plays different tunes on the guitar for each voice.
I'd highly recommend his Tales Trilogy; Jenny's Tale followed by Screech's Tale and finally Violet's Tale... You can find them in 1 video on his TH-cam channel.
All of his music videos are live and most filmed in 1 camera shot.
I double this suggestion... what a trilogy of songs... omg
Your reaction sums it up man! This made me speechless. I have watched this performance a couple dozen times and I get chills every time. Ren's Artistry and creativity is next level! Cant wait to see more videos! Keep it up
I only found Ren 5 days ago through a reaction to this song. Such an amazing storyteller, communicator, musician, singer, rapper... Not sure there is anything he can't do. I have yet to find a single song/video of his that is anything less than great, and most are simply outstanding.
Appreciate your reaction! As I see you did continue with more of his catalog I look forward to following you back down the Ren rabbit hole. 💜
I think he's welsh, and he is a freaking genius
Hes astonishingly talented and this piece is art in it's purest form.
Just watched your reaction to this and remember the same feelings! I'm about to check your channel to see if you've discovered Ren's London Trilogy yet. If not, you need to... It is spectacular. If you have, I know what my next 20mins or so will involve 😝.
Watching people react to this song has become a habit of mine but yours only crossed my path today.....I see by the date that you were one of the first to react and I'm surprised that Ren hasn't commented on it himself as he is known to do. It's one of the best reactions I've seen in so far as the emotions your body language displayed and the authentic awe you displayed when it was over. It's exactly how I felt too. You've earned a sub from me today :)
He is incredible👍👍thanks appreciate you.
I just found him too and my 13 year old son said, "If you like that, check out Money Game part 1 and 2." So I say to you, check out Money Game part 1 and 2!! Brilliant artist!
Check out his duet with chinchilla. Chalk Outlines. The live video is sick.
Staggering to think he does most stuff 1 take (live). He has me hooked!
Mind boggling.you come out a stronger person after listening to this opera of life
I’ve probably watched this video 30 times. It’s just so profound kudos to ren…
I'm on to Ren for about a week now. 60 last September. Once played in a rock band. I think everyone in my high school did but that was 70s in So Cal.
Life is hard. For all of us. Everyone has a cross to bear. Some are heavier than others. The suffering and alone time create new perspectives. Each of us have experienced the dark night of the soul. Probably more than once.
I personally feel this as an indictment of my selfishness. I must not forget I am a human being. Part of a single race struggling to cope and survive in a shifting landscape called the human condition.
I have watched this masterpiece over a hundred times, mostly though the experiences of each "reaction video" host. Midway through most reactions, there's a place where the reaction stops, and the experience takes over. I love to see this. It's powerful. And I remember.
I will be kinder, and softer. With others but also with myself.
Thank you Ren. 💜🎼🏆
Hi Ren, you Are genius .. the real thing.
One of the most underrated artest out there ren is amazing
So glad your going to dive in to Ren and his music singer, rapper musician, producer..... Fights illness and is a beautiful person with a good heart. So much to discover I'm a 55yr old punk/rock fan who is listening to a genius ❤️✌️🤘
This is something... wow. Just totally different. Soul wrenching. And beyond beautiful.
Your pause at the end says it all,how unique and brilliant is he,ps you will love the worm hole Ren will take you down
I am soooo glad people are finding him. I found him about a year ago and I LOVE Ren. His music is just so personal.
Ren......Authentic af
Your reaction was very muh like my own the first time I saw this video. I think most people felt that same way. Great reaction video! - Your new subscriber in Florida.
Your words at 14 minutes sums Ren up perfectly. It's just him in a room with a guitar but it talks volumes. His songs paint pictures in your head and you become emotionally involved so by the end of the song you feel like you've watched a film. I would agree with other comments about watching the jenny's tale and the other tales video's they are just as amazing so here is the link for all 3 in 1 video.th-cam.com/video/TYAnqQ--KX0/w-d-xo.html You have so much to look forward to discovering everything Ren I hope you do some reaction videos of your journey on the way
Three in one is the way to go with Jenny's Tale, Screech, and Violet.
Every single reaction video consists of grown men holding back tears.
Great reaction ren is such a great artist and we need more talent like him
That was a truly enjoyable reaction. I just learned about Ren a few days ago and have gone down this rabbit hole ever since. Ren is an amazing artist; he plays multiple instruments and has great vocal ability. I am glad you have decided to check more of him, and I hope that you will post those reactions on your channel. I would suggest you also listen/react to his musical collaborations with Chinchilla, Sam Tomkins, his solo street performances, as well as his street sessions as a member of "The Big Push," which really showcase his vocal and instrumental skills. Ren is one-of-a-kind.
I hit the jackpot, when you said you were going to do a deep dive into his music.
Enjoy I did like 3 weekends 😄
Ren loves watching reactions, i'm sure he'll stop by fairly soon to give thanks!
wonderful. i loved watching you take it all in. most people interrupt and pick things into pieces instead in allowing the journey of the music happen. and near speachless as i was
My reaction EXACTLY! BLEW ME AWAY! ✌️❤️🔥🎶🇺🇸🤗
I love seeing reaction videos to hi ren. And I still cry every time I see or hear hi ren. It's just such a magical piece. I'm not a rap fan at all. But this is sonething else.
I had the same reaction at his stuff. I related so much to his song Called Humble and his band The Big Push's My woman. I have been into him for about a year.
I have been obsessively watching and following reactions.. I wanted to see people see the genius that is Ren. I hope he is ready and balanced enough to take the tidal wave of attention that is heading his way❤️😊
great reaction! i'd love to see your reaction to The tale of Jenny and Screech, then Violet's tale :)
Thanks for the reaction video! I really appreciate ( love! ) Ren and Sam's work and the feelings of human connection it gives to me and others.
Loved your reaction! I discovered Ren and went down the rabbit hole starting about a month ago after watching Violet's Tale. Since then I've watched pretty much all of his music, including from when he was in the bands The Big Push and Trick the Fox. I'd like to see your reaction on his song, Genesis.
I had the same reaction as you, but I my intro to Ren was Jenny's story, Screach's story, Violet's story.... there is a video with all three combined... don't watch the playlist, find the three in one video... wow. I want to see your reaction of that one
This blows the mind everyone that sees our
Another speechless reaction, great!
Had the same reaction, I had to go watch as much his work as I can find. His voice ( work ) is tremendous. Let’s all wish him health & joy so we can watch his journey ☮️
Gnarly, nasty, and sick are all three slang terms that can be used to describe something so cool that it's epic. Visiting the reaction videos to make sure everybody agrees. 🖖LL&P👈
First time I watched this I felt like I had been memorised & enveloped by his performance. You just know that it’s a good track, a cut above and that Ren is something different. An acquired musician with a unique talent. I had to hear more…
My teenage son and I discovered Ren last summer when we stumbled onto Violets Tale. Weve been listening to everything of his we can find since then. The Big Push is another band of his. Check out the live version of Precious. Enjoy the journey. I think hes one of the prophets of this generation, along w kate tempest.
I love first reactions
can't wait to see your reaction vids to his other work - am truly enjoying following reaction vids to this from all facets of music peeps - seems to me an awesome example of how music matters, how thru music community can form and as a whole we can all take note of something significant. :scott:
Please feel free to check the hole playlist of Ren I did 😁
Everything he does is raw & honest.
Amazing reaction to a masterpiece! I cried when I reacted to it with my son! Subscribed! Much love & respect. 😁🙏
Good art makes you talk about the art; great art makes you think about your life.
He's phenomenal.
Ren is s modern day bard. Total genius. Listen to his Jenny screech and violet trilogy. Staggeringly brilliant.
Much love
Great reaction , not since bohemian rhapsody. Anarchy in the uk . And down in the tube station (for me) has a song lifted music to another level .
Such an absolute masterpiece.
Ren doesn’t block. He encourages. ❤❤
Great Reaction
Got my sub friend. loved this.
ya stunning!! thats how I feel too!!!
Wait til ya see his Ocean, Crucify your Culture, Life is Funny, Humble... From REN!!!
His Clearly Spoken words and Rap is OFF the Charts!!!
OMGoodness Bro... You Gotta See Them!!! You're Gonna Lose your Mind!!!!
Not many have done them yet!!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND doing them asap!!! They're gonna Blow up soon!!!
Also... Hunger, Losing It, illest of our time and Genesis!
Bro... You Gotta dive into REN... his older stuff, newer stuff... the Cats Unreal!!!
He is a gift to the world 🌎
We are all having the same reaction after listening...
'Where did I just go?'
History is being made...
Right there with you man 🤯
Check out Ren in the big push thats his band
Dig deep brother, this man is different on all levels. Much love from the England 🇬🇧 x
Let's go...I'm ready for the deep dive....I can only say one thing...GENIUS 🔥
The trilogy of tales, now I gotta see if you reacted to them. And I highly doubt ren blocks anyone from reviewing and appreciating his art
Done it 💔
Plus Hunger, Losing It, illest of our time, Genesis, Power, Bittersweet Symphony and more...
Ren is a fantastic songwriter and singer! I can also recommend his other project / band "The Big Push" as well as his street performances with Tom Tompkins! And what you said is very true: Once you've found him you want to understand him. He offers lots of thoughts and perspectives in his music. He will surprise you multiple times! For me he is the Vincent van Gogh of music, if that makes any sense.
Hope he won't cut his ear though...
He certainly has an ear for music
@@stevesallis3329 I have an ear too, but neither the voice nor the instrumental abilities to produce it actively...
So far Ren has responded to a few TH-camrs with positivity. I'm sure he'll be happy.
I've been blessed by The Works of Ren for several years he is truly Beyond genius and I would believe the hardest-working! Incredible human being!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💕
Cheers DC!
One thing I haven’t heard anyone address yet are some of the prog and metal notes in his guitar. The “Satan’s Bridge” part and some of the arpeggio lines remind me a lot of euro metal that relies a lot on classical music themes. What do you think?
10:29 - Please check Ren - The Tale of Jenny And Screech (full).
Awesome first reaction here! Subscribed and looking forward to the rest of your journey.

This masterpiece needs to be part of every high school curriculum.
It also occurs to me how much busking seems to influence his performance and composition.
That was about the gazillonth time I've watched this video. And truly there are no words, Most commentators are at a loss. Ren has said all that can be said, for now anyway. What a brilliant poet, musician, performer. Hi, Ren ... Ren forever.
I know he is so amazing I've watched the videos of people watching him just like you he had a metalhead man crying in tears and everytime I see this video it brings tears to my eyes he touches me and I think though I'm sure he touches millions
Ren is a modern-day Bard
Came for Gojira, really really enjoyed your comments and takeaways. You earned a sub today, look forward to more.
Art, in all of its forms is meant to be shared and its purpose is to evoke emotion. Ren broke the fifth wall with Hi Ren.
