I don't think one can refer to this as a song. It is performance art. If you do more Ren, a warning : he will make you cry, laugh, swear, dance, and possibly throw things. No one is ever ready for Ren. 😲

I love him and I am OLD and not really into music. I have been Renned and he is just so talented.

Ren is fine to watch without copyright issues if you get any contest them and Ren will clear it he loves people reacting to his music as he says "A rising tide lifts all boats"

​@GitanaAdelle Ren is a genius. Sick Boi, Fisher rap retake tale of Jenny and Screech with Violets tale in that order. I believe he has a video on his channel with all 3 in order. It's Like 13 minutes long, but it's so worth it. The Hunger, Murderer, The Power, and many more! Subbed!

I can vouch (as can everyone else here) that Ren gives everyone permission to play and share his music. This guy is completely different from almost every other artist with his outlook on copyrights, money, etc. He's crazy talented and a genuinely good soul. I'm almost 54 and I'm in love with this guy's music. He has managed to have crossover appeal to all age groups, men,women, all races, etc. He's special.

@GitanaAdelle Absolutely. You're safe showing his videos. Ren has said that if you ever get a violation for showing his video, you should dispute it. That will somehow make him aware of your channel. He gives you permission to play his videos, and he splits any money made 50/50. I've heard him say it with my own ears in an interview. Good luck to you.

When you have watched it 75 times it still hits, you know it's the bomb.

I’ve watched this reaction , so many times. I’m also speechless. Great reaction

you're right. It was art It was a testimony it was a sermon it was a therapy session

As an independent artist Ren has grown from under 200k subs to over a million in the last 8 months, mostly on the strength of this song. Everyone can relate, so true. Then you look at more of his work and you just start to see that he is just overflowing with talent, and a genuine person.

Stunned silence is an absolutely appropriate response to this work of art. He manages to combine musical skills, soul crushing songwriting, theatrical performance and cinematographic brilliance into something truly unique.

Welcome to the world of Ren! He's a generational talent. His music speaks to all people all ages. Brings the human condition to the forefront through his own experiences and incredible talent!

I'm 70, and I believe Ren is one of the most important artists of my lifetime. He makes you think, he makes you cry. He is fearless, he faces the world as it is - and then he lifts his viewers up and inspires them. This is only the beginning. You'll listen to a lot of Ren songs and performances before you can really have a sense of his talents.... they are incredibly broad. Try listening to Ren X Chinchilla in Chalk Outlines - her voice is incredible, and the way their voices blend is amazing. They've both said of each other that it was like finding a musical sibling.

Never fails to give me goosebumps. You’ve seen nothing yet, he’s easily the most talented artist in 30 years.

Hope you jump into his entire catelogue. It's all top tier stuff. Other notables include : "Sick boi" ; "The tale of Jenny and screech (Full version)" ; "Chalk outlines," "Money Games prs 1 and 2". The hits go on and on and on

Tissues are required for Jenny Screech and Violet.

Wow, where have you been!? So glad you finally got to this one. There is so much more for you by Ren. Ren's universe is massive, Renegades love him. He will surprise you with everything he does. No particular genre. He loves reactors. Please do more Ren.

Ren can touch your soul so many songs performances rapper independent and you will be flooded with info because he is so loved and i haven't been so impressed in year's 🔥 buckle up and enter the Ren rabbit hole. ✌️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Ps bring tissues 💔

Hi Gitana. Ren has given a few interviews to his reactors. They are all really good but I would recommend the one he gave to Justin Hawkins on his channel, "Justin Hawkins Rides Again", where he goes into detail of his life and the illness that nearly "claimed" him. It really shows his emotional intelligence. Ren is a once in a generation artist. No doubt. He is independant and encourages people to react to his music to spread it. He is in "the business" for the love not the money and fame, which is almost unheard of these days. He writes his own lyrics and beats, sings, and directs/co-directs most of his videos. He recently decided to do a rap album so most of his current releases are to be from that album, coming in the next month. I am not a fan of rap but his music and lyrics hit different from all the others out there and I have listened to most of his catalogue and haven't yet heard a song I didn't like. Ren isn't religous, by the way, but likes the mythology/iconography, hence the gods and demons references in "Hi Ren". Ren is very open about his struggles and life events a lot of which he mentions in his interviews. His misdiagnosis and about 8 years of the "wrong" treatments, which nearly "claimed" him are told with candour and humour. He is a rare talent. Check out his interview here.... kzread.info/dash/bejne/d5eJlsuHfZnOfrQ.html

Now await the trilogy... TALE OF JENNY and SCREECH

Thank you so much for starting the ren rabbit hole. Have been waiting for you to start your reactions to his music. Sick Boi should follow this,it's his shot at the Healthcare for misdiagnosing him for over 7 years. Love your reactions, keep up the great work

That was essentially a live performance with multiple cameras - the guitar was plugged in and he had a lapel mic (and probably one or more boom mics as well). Ren's spent a lot of years busking on the streets of Brighton solo, with friends, and with the band The Big Push. Although Ren really seems to be taking off recently, one of his busking videos went viral 4 years ago with his buddy Sam Tompkins. "Earned It/Man's World/Falling" has 11 million views. He's very comfortable shooting his videos with crowds of unwary pedestrians staring at him and recording live audio where the acoustics are good. I try to warn all reactors new to Ren NOT to react to "Violet's Tale" as a standalone video although it's available as one. It's the third song in a trilogy. The trilogy is available with all three full-length videos end-to-end and in the proper order as "The Tale of Jenny & Screech" which includes the piece "Violet's Tale" even though it's not in the title. Like "Hi Ren", it's more than a song - it's a modern, musical Shakespearian tale told by a modern bard and the videos are also live performances. Although "Hi Ren" is deeply personal, "The Tale of Jenny & Screech" was inspired by a real news headline and Ren used artistic license to flesh it out. Ren will leave you curled in a ball sobbing uncontrollably with some songs. He has a way of bringing every bit of pain you've ever experienced to the surface by singing openly about all of his pain - from being misdiagnosed with mental illness while his body and brain were ravaged by undiagnosed Lyme disease to songs about losing his freckled friend Joe to suicide at 19 years old. Best to have a box of tissue and a support person available. He was also raised reading dystopian social commentary books like "Nineteen Eighty Four", "Animal Farm", "Lord of the Flies" and so on. A lot of his songs are commentaries on what he sees wrong with society today even though he acknowledges he's part of the problem because he has to live within the system. Most of all, Ren just loves music. It's what got him through the days where he would spend up to 23 hours in bed in excruciating pain - it's what helped him through the loss of Joe ("Freckled Angels" is the song he wrote for Joe's memorial). He's been working on his latest album, "Sick Boi", which is a hip-hop album so most of his latest videos are in that genre, but he really defies genres. Just keep going through his catalog and I assure you you will find something you love. He's releasing "Love Music Part 4" in a couple days and you should really check out parts 1 - 3.

Ren is an independent artist and is very pro reactions so u don’t have to worry about copyright issues. He often gives shoutouts to reactors on his own channel. As a lot have already said the full version of The Tales of Jenny and Screech is a must watch.

What a reaction. 🙌 glad you have found Ren. He really is AMAZING!!!! Independant British Artist. Hope you do more!!!

Welcome to the RENiverse ❣️ I have gone deep down the Ren rabbit hole for 7 months now. I am a 65 yr old Widow that was down as low as I could get when I found Ren and his musical magic. He is a wordsmith with the voice of an angel...an old soul. Go deeper and I will come back and listen. ❤

No copy rights, Ren doesn't want that, he wants everyone to hear his Music. He's an independent!

It's about time 😊 enjoy the Ren rabbit hole.

Welcome to the RENegades. We are a huge community who love this amazing young artist. You need to go down the rabbit hole fast. ❤

Perfect reaction, Ren is truly different and an exceptional human who will continue to surprise you and send you on an emotional roller coaster. The more you listen too and read about the more you will love him along with his many collaborators. Enjoy the journey. New sub here.

I actually dont know how many reaction videos ive watched on Hi Ren but it is literally every single one I can find on KZread, which is a lot. I enjoyed your reaction ...i think i sat with my mouth open through most of it the first I watched it, too. He is an amazing artist . .. you will love going down the ren rabbit hole, I promise. Enjoy the ride. Peace and love

This was the piece that got me started down the Ren rabbit hole. I have never heard a more compelling artist, he just gets better and better.

THERE IS MUCH MORE REN.. this is just the tip of the iceberg

Ren is a rare talent. He is a once in a generation artist. He is eclectic and yet focussed. He can do it all. Check out his back catalogue, it is diverse and stunning. Welcome to the world of Ren.

Your reaction was so real, it was absolutely genuine and that’s a e. It is a masterpiece and REN is amazing, so talented and such a genuine young man. His struggles are heartbreaking and through them to have accomplished so much is amazing. I look forward to seeing your future reactions to his work, you won’t be disappointed! So nice to see a reaction from someone in England. All the best, from Annie, in Cornwall. 🙂🌸

As a mother, you will want to hug this boy, especially when you hear about his "journey". His talent is off the charts!! Check out his songs with Chinchilla and busking on the streets. He is amazing!!! God Bless!🐢

Ren is originally from Wales Ren was misdiagnosed for years, at one point he was liquid fed. Undiagnosed Lime disease. Treatment now in Canada. Welcome to Ren . Ren and Chinchilla,Chalk outlines a must ,that's just for starters. 👍

Hey GA, you want to know EVERYTHING about Ren: welcome to his beautiful world full of treasures. You will not be disappointed with him. When it comes to our human nature, Ren is the Artist with his way of illuminating things!! New subscription here - enjoy the journey. Wonderful reaction - he will leave you speechless even more often. Greetings from Germany. 👍👏🤝

Just watched this back after a little mental health break and it, pulled me through…. Back with more REN soon ❤

Get used to saying Wow if your going down the Ren rabbit hole, his music is an emotional rollercoaster

I look forward to watching your rollercoaster ride on the Ren train, I doubt you can find a song he is on that you dont like.

I’m not sure which I’m most impressed with, his lyrics, his musicianship, or the fact that he performed this all the way through unedited in one take. He’s a musical chameleon, I can’t wait for you to check out his other performances, or as some people call it “Bardcore”. 😁

Welcome to the world of Ren, make a little bit of time to go down the rabbit hole

You should follow him up!! Seriously! All of his music say a lot. Once in a while born an artist like him. He is a different “breed”

I've watched this SO many times, and it still gives me shivers and deep thoughts. I think one of the most inspirational aspects of this video is his level of courageousness to open-up to the world about his demons. He's an open book, and it's refreshing. If you want to see a very different side of Ren, watch something like Chalk Outlines or Losing it.

Thank you . More please different is good .

Thank you @GitanaAdelle for a great reaction to a great artist ❤

Gitana, I'm so happy that you've finally discovered Ren. This man is truly the UK's new national treasure, protect him at all costs. Just a quick summary of this artist, and his past battles. He spent close to seven years sick at home in his bedroom for close to 23 hrs a day feeling like he was on deaths door and all the while misdiagnosed by multiple doctors telling him it was phycological, M.E, depression ect. all the while bombarding him with anti-psychotics & other harmful meds before finally being properly diagnosed with Lyme Disease and finally receiving the proper treatments, such as stem cell replacement. Unfortunately due to being untreated for so long and tacking so much harmful meds that were not needed it took a tole on his joints, cerebral cortex (brain), and auto immune system. He's presently in Canada receiving treatments in attempt to reverse the damage done to his body. Much of his music deals with the trauma he's been through but Ren is also an activist on many social problems we face today. Ren is a Sing/Songwriter, Rapper, Poet, Multi-instrumentalist (Guitar electric/acoustic, Bass, Piano, Drums & he Beatbox's), Producer, Director, Actor, Storyteller. All these traits, for the most part, are self taught as well. I guarantee you that this is the most fulfilling rabbit hole you'll ever dive into. I'm here for the ride and will never get tired seeing reactors discover his brilliance and versatility. This is how I've described Ren in the past in the comments section: "What do you get when you combine the Poeticism of Tupac, the Lyricism of Eminem, the Musicianship of Prince and the Soulfulness of Bob Marley? .... REN every day of the week and twice on Sunday!!!🤣😎😎🤯 Enjoy the adventure luv!

Thank you again this was awesome 🎉 and thanks lucky for bringing this to her attention 😊

I've never seen you so lost in a performance before. You're reaction was totally appropriate for this amazing performance. The music, the lyrics, the set, the performance the videography were all perfectly executed. You're right when you say a MASTERPIECE, one word.

Ren is incredible and easily my favorite artist of the past 20 years. So so many great tracks.

Did it in 1 take beautiful 😢😂❤love you Ran hang in there I'm praying 🙏

I love to see people's initial reaction to this song. Ren is a master of words and emotions.

Me and you have the same reaction when I heard that song that is one powerful message and I've been going down the same rabbit hole and his music is getting better and better

Welcome to Rens Rabbit hole .You will hear some Fantastic Music and different British Artists. Who he combines with.

Down the Ren rabbit hole! buckle up!!!

This song is one of those songs that will never fade away and will always be relevant. I’d probably watched at least 50 different reactions This is an iconic masterpiece.

Damn sis never seen you that captivated by any video. Your gonna love this guy. It's a wild roller-coaster ride so strap in tight. Ren can do it all, next you should do the tail of Jenny and screech 🐺❤️

I loved your very real reaction!!!

Ren is a multi talented genius. I suggest “the tale of Jenny and screech” full length is best. It’s amazing.

You weren't speechless with nothing to say - your face spoke volumes. Welcome to the world of Ren!

Ren has that effect on all of us: Speechess, all the feelings, and a need to think about things...and an immediate desire for more.

I loved your reaction... it was the same as mine. Subbed and looking forward to you delving into the Ren Rabbit warren.

Ooooh shit...... new ren tune Thursday.... this dudes crazy amazing welcome to the renhole😂

@GitanaAdelle Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole, he will leave you speechless with a lot of his songs, he is the best independent British artist of 2023. Do a reaction, Ren Crutch I only subscribed to your channel because of this reaction I think Ren is the best thing that happened to music in a very long time!

I love ren, there's not many whom are so raw and honest with their music. He's so creative and diverse too.

I've been gone for awhile. Seeing you do this.... brought me back. Keep going. Tale of Jenny, Screech and Violets Tale, Money Game 123, and How to be Me with Chinchilla, Chalk Outlines, Eden, Sick Boi... you just can't go wrong,

It didn't take but a few seconds to captivate you with this masterful work and you can see it when you forced yourself to stop, the expression you had was one of regret and remorse. The people who take the harshest of life experiences, make them relateable and after feeling broken you are left better than you were at the start, there's just something about music which has been anointed as opposed to all the others that are not. Nice catch with the lamp shade and the hospital gown!

I’ve watched hundreds of people react to this song. Yours is perfect my dear. Kudos ❤

I've watched so many reaction vids to this song. I love your genuine reaction. Ren is brilliant. Once you go down the Ren rabbit hole, you"ll never look back.

I must also have to give kudos the the cinematographer who no doubt helped create this masterpiece.

Welcome to the world of Ren. Enjoy the musical adventures down the Ren rabbit hole. 🔥😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Only found Ren a week ago and Hi Ren hit me like a sledge hammer, watched dozens of reactions and loved yours. I'm 63 and not much into "new" music, this is not just music or art it's therapy. Ren's talent is other worldly and The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full Version) along with Violet's Tale is an emotional ride that I/you will keep buying a ticket to. Thank you for the reaction and Thank you Ren. Subscribed

Welcome to the Ren fanclub. Your in for a treat . Ive been a fan for a few years , Since the release of hi Ren hes took off, but his back catalogue is teriffic. He will always leave you feeling something. The boys a lyrical genius . Have fun in the rabbit hole, look forward to more reactions xx

Thanks for reviewing this...never heard of him. A peace of advice. We all have 2 sides. Good and bad. It's the side you nurture that is who you are.

They're BOTH who we are. Even our reaction to the dark shapes who we are and out of darkness comes new light, even though we can't always see it at the time.

Ren is fantastic. He is a singer, rapper, poet, multi-instrumentalist, beatboxer, he produces his own beats and he is always seeking healing for his Lyme's disease. Hope you take on the Ren rabbit hole, you'll have lots of company!

This is the kind of art people the world over need to see. He's brilliant in all aspects of music, he knows how to capture his audience, and he knows his message is essentially - I can name thousandsof folks that i know personally who need to hear what this man has to say. He's also one of the most kind and genuine human beings i have ever encountered. 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ He gave me the keys and the instructions I needed to restart my life after tragedy and an overlong stay in that place called Bitterness and Depression. I would love to see you explore more of his catalogue, every song he does carries a different, but still crucial, message for humanity. ❤ Love seeing you back on here, dearest one - i have missed your smiles and energy! ❤

Adelle, magnificent description!! This is the first time I see one of your reactions. Please keep digging into this rabbit hole, you won't regret it 🤘🏼🎶

Enjoyed your reaction!

Welcome to the Reniverse , 59 years old and tear up every time I listen to Hi Ren and it's at least once a day been that way for months, You need to try Chalk Outlines (Ren and Chinchilla) Sick Boi, and one that gets missed a bit is Ren love music 1,2 and 3. The Reniverse is huge, New sub and a huge like for your reaction.

Welcome to the World of Ren. His music is on another level. Keep going down this new rabbit hole

You smiled at the part that gets me every time, "when I learnt to soften, the dance (life) got easier"

New sub here, I'm here for any and all Ren reactions. As a 53 year old music lover my whole life, Ren has reconfigured my mind for the better and REN-EWED my heart & soul by making me really hear music for the 1st time in my life! Great reaction! 😊 what an amazing journey awaits you, welcome to the greatest rabbit hole! 😊

Welcome to the REN rollercoaster… you will enjoy this journey.. he loves how reactors can share his music and helps back in return.. Rising tides, raise all ships! He is so powerful with his music and message.. such an old soul but amazing person we should all strive to become

TY I have been waiting for you to do this!! Go down the rabbit hole it is Life changing!!

You moved me to almost tears ... im new to ur channel and have become a fan of ren since watching hi ren and going thru similar feelings to yourself . I cant wait to join you as you go down the ren rabbit hole ... also he has a massive supportive fan base and if your genuine like ive just seen they will love you for it too ... also thank u for you honest open reaction. Thanks for being you x

Good art makes you talk about the art; great art makes you think about your life.

"The human test" best way to check if someone is human is their reaction to this song. Next time I'm set up on a blind date this will be the icebreaker and save me countless hours of trying to find out if someone's values and ethics align with my own. I have a bizarre feeling that this will beat any Turing test approach for AI Sentience. Once AI can have unpredictable reactions to, learning from and behaviours following introduction of this song it should be classed as sentient.

Thank you for your heartfelt reaction to this gem of a performance. I read in the comments of the original post that this is a soul exploding into art and I could not agree more. Welcome to the rabbit hole.

Loved your reaction. Subscribed. Love Ren. Love you! ❤. Me too. Speechless. 🥰

It's not a music video but if you really want to understand Ren you should watch the video he put out when he hit 1M subs. He talks about success and his health and it is probably one of the most empowering videos I have ever seen. Ren is a true artist and he threw out the rules so he crosses genres and he puts out what he wants, how it wants it. His fans are a bit... protective...lol.. he's collecting the broken, damaged, forgotten, lost people and reminding them they have a voice. The he does something that is just light, fun and quirky to remind you he's not lost in the dark anymore, he just understands it.

Rapper, singer, artist, actor, musician ...Ren is perhaps the most exciting new artist since Pink Floyd

More Ren, dude is a genius artist with a whole catalogue of great music.

You never need to pause Ren videos...He will fight any copyright issues for you. He welcomes ALL reviews, even negative ones

Ren is therapy for so many from one song he helps so many people open up in ways therapists struggle to do in person. First time i watched Hi Ren i had a panic attack but thought i needed to watch it again so i watched someone reacting to it that was the best thing i could do i have watched many times since. One thing i think about this song is it needs to be seen by every one even in schools after a certain age, because how many children kill themselves because of the negativity towards them from nasty comments and bullying to them believing what is said. I went through hell, bullied all through school to the point i attempted suicide twice, and to many issues in my life since then I am a recovering alcoholic 11 years clean I suffer PTSD and other health issues so the majority of bad days over good is high, if this bullying had been dealt with i may have had a reasonable life not the existence i have to deal with now

I must’ve watched a couple of hundred reaction videos of this song and I would occasionally become emotional when witnessing certain reactors which clued me in as to the sincerity of their tears. I thought that this occurrence was no longer possible because I’ve seen so many reactions of Ren, but you made that happen again. Great reaction! Love ya!

Your reaction to hi Ren is the same we all feel. Across the board. Welcome to the RENaissance

Great reaction. Knew this would hit you. This guy is amazing. Hope for more 😉

I've been hoping you'd get around to him eventually! I know you're going to love all of his stuff. Can't wait to watch your journey down the rabbit hole. ❤❤

Excellent reaction. Thank you for reacting to Ren. You don't need to pause Ren. He will allow any reaction without objection. Ren loves reactors. Most of us heard Ren through a reaction.

I think we all felt the same way you did the first time we heard it. It is a masterpiece, a true performance work of art, i.e. once in a generation gifted multi faceted musician, lyricist, performer, producer… a true Artist. Look forward to going down the rabbit hole into his catalog as I’ve been doing so for six months now, and has not heard one song that wasn’t fantastic. It either made me laugh or cry, or cheer me up or maybe want to go help somebody!! Looking forward to more reactions by you.!!💯‼️🔥🔥

Never seen you that speechless with your jaw on the floor. ❤️he is something special. And can rap like m&m

Beautiful reaction. People will be here to watch you and give to tunes, information and all manner of stuff. He's built differently, your gonna have some fun. We all come because we can never watch it again for the first time, so we like others seeing it unfold. Subbed.

Welcome to the world of Ren. He has so kuch content and is dropping 4 songs this month. He is worth spending your time in his catalog. Have fun, I will be waiting

Welcome to the world of Ren. Almost all of his own content is original (unique). You are in for a treat if you delve into his back catalogue.

I still love seeing people react to this. I've been a music lover for a long time and I've been fortunate enough to see some brilliant artists perform over the years. I honestly don't remember the last time a performance moved me like this one. I always think, "I'll be ok tis time" but after seeing it dozens of times it still gets me. Brilliant!
