I totally agree with you my friend but instead of generational I'd say cuz we are human as ren said we must not forget we are human beings

I never get sick of this reaction. It goes from wtf to no seriously WTF to bewilderment to realization to amazement to the brink of tears. Amazing

In my 69 years on this planet I have never been moved in this way before, he is truly here on earth to help mankind. Lovely reaction.

Ren has suffered from Lyme's disease for over 10 years due to a mis diagnosis, This has affected him physically and psychologically. He is in Canada right now getting treatment, say a prayer for him. He's a true artist.✌️❤

I pray for this world, but why would anyone go to Canada for health care?

I just recently found this song and others from Ren and went down the rabbit hole. He's a special type of artist, and I'm glad he's getting the recognition he deserves!

Here is some information on Ren's story, in case you didn't already know. I gathered it from old newspaper interviews, articles, and Ren's livestreams and posts where he discussed his condition. Ren Eryn Gill is a British musician/independent artist; born in Wales on March 29, 1990, or ‘91 (depending on which source you cite), he grew up in Brighton. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, he began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. In 2010, he was signed by Sony Records and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue and subsequently dropped by Sony. Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led him to experience psychosis. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure. Ren is currently in Canada for more treatments, including surgeries, and will have to be there for at least six months (Summer of 2023). His most recent surgery went well. Ren's Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder, which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, adrenals, as well as his bones/joints. Ren stated: "It's a lot to wrap my head around having to be away from friends, family, and a successful career, and almost feels like a total juxtaposition to the fact that my music is blowing up right now and spreading to all corners of the world, but that's life, we take the good with the bad." Let's keep supporting Ren as he undergoes his treatments. Check out and subscribe to his channel, listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to this generation, and his work is needed in these troubling times. Here is the link to Ren’s GoFundMe page to raise money for his current treatment. www.gofundme.com/f/ren-get-better-from-lyme-disease-and-autoimmunity

Ren was eventually diagnosed with Lyme disease, but it took years of misdiagnosing and being treated for things he didn't have - which is the worst possible thing to do for someone with lyme disease. A lot of the medications he took made it so much worse for him, which is how he got to psychosis and such.

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

I have watched this video/reaction at least 50 times now and the thing that stood out to me the most besides the speech at the end was. "You can't kill me I am Temptation and I am IMMORTAL! Oh yeah? Well I'm HOPE and I'm ETERNAL! We are a coin of different sides...". Opposing forces battling throughout the history of time. Ren is Shakespeare like in both poetically and musically.

Worth noting that the two faces of a coin do not oppose or battle each other. Ren is pointing out that that hope is eternally within us as human beings; so too is the urge to protect oneself, which the mind does by “managing expectations, that thing you neglected”, self-criticizing and self-sabotaging (to avoid failure). These forces seem opposed in the context of our conscious goals (because one feels “good” and the other feels “bad”), but they are actually equally important and integral parts of our minds that must both be accepted and integrated to stop the war within ourselves; to “soften” so the “dance [can get] easier”.

It's a reflection of his life's struggle. It's so profound and powerful. There's nothing quite like it anywhere. Calling him a "true artist" is an understatement to say the least.

You would love Ren x Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines (LIVE) It's a beautiful song.

To me this is not a song. It is art. To me this is the amalgamation and manifestation of the eternal battle between our dark and bright sides of the human psyche. He perfectly capture the essence of the emotions we may have that is so hard to put into words.

I knew this would blow your mind. He really had sickness and was miss diagnosed for a long time. I really enjoy seeing you guys reacting to these new artists. Love you guys ❤️

You really want to watch "Jenny, Screech, and Violet's tale" by Ren, it'll blow your mind.

Great reaction! I'm 69 yrs old and discovered this by accident the day it was released. It crosses age, language, taste in music, all kinds of barriers. It went far beyond Ren's expectations because he just threw out mana from heaven, so to speak, and it's still raining down, and everyone who tastes it is enlightened.

Our beloved Brighton Bard strikes once more. The modern day minstrel with a mind full of tales is finally getting the recognition he deserves 🖤 bless him 🙌🏻

Ren could read the back of a shampoo bottle, and I'd hang on every word. It was a great reaction, guys!

He calls his Music jokingly ,BARDCORE, but I think it's Perfect for his use of words and musical abilities. It's a combination of theatre , Poetry and music.

Don't forget he is from Wales, the land of the Eisteddfod. A Chair is presented to the poet (Bard) who wins.

He is having treatment for his illness - he has misdiagnosed Lymes Disease from a Tick infection 10 years ago.

He is a very wise and talented and of course brave young man. loved your thoughts!

Stages of watching Hi Ren: This looks creepy Guitar sounds nice Oh he’s singing Will the whole song be like this? Here’s the beat Ok he’s rapping now This guy is scary Now he seems nice Oh I see what he’s doing This is interesting This is intense The mean guy is a jerk This is INTENSE Make it stop I haven’t blinked or taken a breath in 2 minutes Go Ren! YES! OOO-OO-OO-OO-OO-.. I need some time to be still…

Well put sir. ♥

Ren is so talented, and has an fairly large catalog to listen to while he is in Canada receiving treatment for the next few months. He is amazing💗 Peace

I love this reaction, but i love how Ren is connecting people from all over the world and spreading his positivity. ❤

Yeah, Ren's guitar use definitely has a purpose. The hard plucking means something.

Woahh this is my first listen too and that was intense!

I knew you'd love this ‼️‼️ Please go down the rabbit hole. His music is so dope. #Ren 💯💯💯♥️♥️♥️

Everybody has that reaction. ❤ Silence, then "wow", then disbelief. Always tears.

This is a piece of performance art that gives "broken" people, HOPE. #PerformanceArtPinnacle #MusicalMasterpiece #Powerful

Ren is the most humble and caring person. He is really a nice guy in every way. He is also a modern Shakespeare in his storytelling. Great reaction Thank you.

You said it, young lady! Those 2 words also summed my reaction up perfectly. Holy SH** Great reaction you two.

Ren x chinchilla - chalk outlines (live) showcases his singing voice and is stunning please do Subbed

This is the most befuddled and speechless I've ever seen yall after a reaction. That's good. It means you soaked it in and experienced it instead of simply listening to lyrics or a beat. This, as Carol said, is simply art. A one-man show.

U guys are genuinely such amazing reactors, keep it going. U are better than 99% of your rivals. 🤟

I loved how when the title of the song came up he waved, a reflexive action from a genuinely friendly person. 👍

Very nice. I appreciate your reaction as you did not bother to break down specifics, details - but spoke to the emotional reaction experienced. Cheers.

Oooo! Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole😊 This guy is something!! Excellent reaction 👊

Simply....."yes"....please explore more 🎵💯

We all feel it. All of us. This is the genuine gentleman genuis of ren

Oh,,,, I will watch these reactions for years to come for this song, as the tears that build up behind the ones who get it, and fight, fight, fight to keep those tears back, is just so beautiful. I cry everytime. Namaste

Exactly how I felt when I first watched it. Speechless. Then WTF was that? Ren is genius and we are lucky to be alive to see it.

How he depicts evil with his "run" at 6:12 as it sounds like its all in one breath, is just...

True art speaks to the soul, and Ren's art does just that. And Ren shows us that we can use the arts to express ourselves and resolve unresolved inner pain that we tend to bottle up and suppress, using art allows us to grow spiritually, and is a way for the soul to shine. 😊

I love the reactions where people have so much to say, but can't really say anything. The depth of it is so real, I loved your reaction!

Great reaction guys . Got my sub 👍

Ren is such a talented musical artist/musician and I consider his music to be gifts! Thank you for your beautiful reactions!

Ren is very versatile , you will find a lot of treasures on his channel for sure , chalk outlines live with chinchilla is awesome too

GOOD JOB, GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MR. WHOM PUT THE RING ON THE MRS. FINGER. SEEN THIS PERFORMANCE SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY, VERY IMPRESSED. "MUCH LOVE AND GOD BLESS. THE DEMON WE FACE IS NOT IMMORTAL."

PERSONIFICATION OF THE CRAZY OF THE WORLD IN PRESENTATION. "MUCH LOVE AND GOD BLESS. THE DEMON WE FACE IS NOT IMMORTAL."

I have been waiting for you two to react to this performance, and I even left a comment suggesting this song in one of your recent reactions. As I expected, you did not disappoint. “Hi Ren" is the song that put Ren on everyone's radar since December; it went viral and has garnered more than 5 million views since its debut, but he has been creating great music for more than ten years. Ren’s music videos are generally recorded live, often in a single take, although not necessarily the first take, and from various camera angles. His release, "Sick Boi," is almost another chapter to "Hi Ren." Many of Ren’s songs resonate with people because he addresses struggles that many others face every day. Ren plays multiple instruments (acoustic, electric, and bass guitar, piano, drums), has impressive vocals, is an excellent storyteller, and is quite the philosopher and poet. He is considered by many a modern bard; he calls his music “bardcore.” Ren’s earliest recordings on KZread are from his time in a band called “Trick The Fox,” consisting of Ren and his buddies Charlie and Tommy. Unfortunately, the band performed only briefly due to Ren’s onset of health issues. They are very talented. A fun clip to watch is “The Mash Up.” Ren’s trilogy "The Tale of Jenny/Screech/Violet" has been likened to a Shakespearean tragedy and is a prime example of his genius; it is a master’s class in storytelling. The three acts are haunting, and the conclusion will catch you off guard. The trilogy needs to be watched in the order given, as this is the flow of the storyline and is best watched as a whole rather than piecemeal. Ren’s collaborations with Chinchilla (“Chalk Outlines,” “How to Be Me,” “Sexual Healing,” “One Dance/Drunk in Love”) are beautiful and showcase his singing voice. His live music videos are especially impressive. Ren's personal reflections are threaded through many of his songs; "Insomnia," "Depression," “Diazepam," “Penitence,” “Dear God,” “Heretic,” “Dominos,” his "Freckled Angels" album, just to name a few, all deserve a listen. His song "Money Game" (Part I & II) is another recommendation, although it is less of a personal song than it is an indictment of greed and the resulting injustices in this world. Ren’s Hip Hop/Rap style songs are all worth checking out if you enjoy this genre; they are pretty amazing. Check out “The Hunger,” “Genesis,” “What You Want,” “Losing it (FISHER rap retake),” “Right here, right now (Fatboy Slim one shot retake),” "Life is Funny," “Love Music (Parts 1, 2, and 3),” “Crucify Your Culture,” “Power,” and his latest release, “Bittersweet symphony (The Verve retake).” As I recently discovered, Ren also recorded a cover of “Can't Help Falling In Love (Elvis Cover),” that is simply beautiful. Then there are his performances with Sam Tompkins (“Blind Eyed,” “Earned it /Mans World / Falling,” “Walking on the moon/No Diggity”), Eden Nash (“Humble,” “Ocean”), Bibi (“Crutch,” “Ahiahiaoha”), Molly McKinna (“Penitence”), his former bandmate, Romain Axisa (“French Song”), which are all great. Ren's performances as a member of the band "The Big Push" (which unfortunately broke up), their busking (street performances), concerts, and their live recordings, are awesome and well worth checking out. Ren's covers of "I Shot the Sheriff," "Wade in the Water," "An Englishman in New York," “Bongo Bong,” “War Pigs,” the songs "Oh My Woman," “Swan Song,” “Sweet Little Lady," "It's Alright," "Watch Out," “Dignity,” and so many others are equally impressive. In anticipation of his stay in Canada for more treatments, Ren prepared some music ahead of time to be released over the next six months that he expects to be gone. He released “Sick Boi” and “Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve retake),” which is another masterful work.

Ren is a multi talented artist who has honed his skills busking in the streets of Brighton. The band The Big Push he was phenomenal of styles that are played with the joy and skill that we haven’t seen in too long. The rapping videos are intelligent, fun,heartbreaking mix ,without bs . He works with a variety of collaborators . Brilliant but relatable, he is a talent that shines a beam of light that art comes from the human soul not from a industry machine.

Enjoy a good cry it's freeing. When I 1st watched it I cried like a baby. Now I get so much joy watching people react. You can't hide raw emotion. He wanted to heal people and he has. I've seen grown men cry. The more I listen & watch when people talk about it. We all can find peace knowing other's feel like we do. It's so hard to tell people how you feel. He gives you words

Great reacton. You should listen to his trilogy, Jenny's tale, Screeche's Tale and Violet's tale in that order. Its simply the best story set to music I ever heard.

I understand your struggle to come up with the words to describe your feelings. I had to listen to it a few times in a row and work through it, because it touched my heart. Thanks for a great reaction

Incredibly powerful performance 👏 Ren is truly a master of his art He has become a master with years of hard work and it truly shows. ❤

I've never heard this guys music. Thanks for introducing me to Ren fam 🙏

Welcome to a new rabbit hole with Ren. He's another who crosses genres, but comprehensively I think his art is untouchably above every else I've seen and heard.

Thank you both for your reaction to this genius.

My new favorite couples' reaction page!! You two are adorable and mate, your curls are freaking amazing!! 👍👍

All of his songs are amazing. Dig deep. Not one moment spent with Ren is wasted. Brilliant. Beautiful. Genius. Talent. Creativity. Honesty. Love. Salvation.

he was glued to his bed for almost 10 years because he had Lyme disease, the problem was that for almost 8-9 years this wasnt diagnosed. He was misdiagnosed with Bipolar, Anxiety, depression etc. So medications made him more sick. The Lyme disease finally got diagnosed after 8 years by a specialist. Because of the Lyme disease he was allergic to about 95% of food, so all he ate was meat and some veggies. During his sickness he got a stress induced psychosis. He finally got a stemcell transplant that made him better, but that was before the Lyme disease was noticed. Luckily today he has been in Canada for the better half of a year to undergo treatment by a Lyme disease specialist to become as healthy as his can despite of his body being destroyed by this for nearly a decade. He missed out on being a young adult, trying to see what life would bring him in the twenties, missing parties, new years etc. He actually at one point resigned to the fact that he probably would live to see his thirties because of all this. (this was before he finally got the proper help). He just turned 33 in March. Like he said, he doesnt care if he only gets 80% well, as long as he can outlive his dream which is making music, then he is okay with that.

"I felt him" says it all. Perfect ❤️

He just about says all there is to say in a pretty unique way, he definitely joins the dots for me, how about you guys ?

He is absolutely an artist. ❤

There are levels to this music game ... and above that there's Ren.

theatrical, creating tension, changing his voice with the character even the playing of the guitar changed between the characters, chords that use dissonance which we might normally associate with being false he made them make totally sense, the faster pace of the lights going on and off, the change of dynamics, the fight between the two characters not only musically and lyrically but also visually and then in the end the speech.... sooo much to discover and indeed totally different and unique from anything i saw so far.

The bro in this power couple reminds me of some Egyptian god from like Assassins Creed. Love their vibe!

Her reaction is why men invented music; to see that expression, directed toward them.

Welcome to the world of REN -enjoy the rabbit hole!!:)

Great reaction and nice to see people try and process this performance art.

I'm so happy I've found your channel in my Ren journey. First of all you both of GORGEOUS human beings. Second of all, your reaction is so powerful. I love that about this particular video. It evokes such genuine emotion, empathy, understanding and appreciation for what an masterpiece it is from every standpoint. Bravo!

The plus is you had to think about your thoughts and feelings on the subject matter. That in it's self tells me that Ren did his job by bring a conversation into us being human.

A FREAKING GENIUS WHY IS IT RAINING IN MY HOUSE ( TEARS)

Fantastic reaction! Hope you get the chance to listen and react to more Ren. He truly is an incredible storyteller, musician and poet. A bard with the ability to grab the audience by the emotions and take them on a journey.

Again… never seen more speechless people in my life.

You two are such a beautiful and nice couple :) Really enjoyed ur reaction. Greatings from germany :D Humans are not lost yet ;)

Great stuff. This outstanding, next level, modern masterpiece needs to be part of every high school curriculum.

You guys are beautiful I loved watching your reaction to this song! Please do more Ren! Subbing

You both are so beautiful and your reactions were very relatable to everyone else’ reaction to this amazing work. God bless you.

Ren is a genius.....great reaction guys

I remember indie music having struggled to be embrace by the mainstream audience/market. Now, internet plays a big role to get music, movies and everything in the world. The hit in the 90's that was not in any major label was the Stay by Liza Loeb.

Amazing reaction, but my man’s on reactionhair is just as impressive!! As always your partner is stunning also 😂✌🏽❤️🙏🏽

I know it’s off topic but I just found your channel earlier tonight and I started my binge and I can’t get over how beautiful y’all are as a couple! Well, obviously individually too but together..shockingly beautiful

BARDCORE!!!!!!!!!!

Be sure to get the lyrics... read them a few times and have them with you when you watch it again.

I enjoyed watching you two experience this profound video. I had a similar reaction when I watched the first time. I'm glad it seems to be having such a positive impact on such a wide variety of people, as that's exactly what good art does, and should do.

i swear my fave pastime is watching new reactors reacting to hi ren .... paused @0:43 so will reserve judgement lol

So yea some facts on ren. 1. the song was done live if you look to the top of the gown you will see the mic and he did this as a 1 take so in total there were 4 versions of this in 1 take form and this was the one he finished on. 2. Ren was not trained on guitar he was/is self taught and learned from youtube videos. 3. So the song is about illness and mental health ren was misdiagnosed as a kid for years with depression, bipolar and other illnesses so was fed wrong medications untill finally he got a proper diagnosed with lyme disease and is now still going through treatment. Finally while he was misdiagnosed he actually signed with sony studios but due to his illness and not being able to keep his comitments with sony they dropped him and is a independent artist

I loved your reaction to Ren guys and thought you two were such an adorable couple. I love how Rens message breaks through any cultural or language divides and leaves us all feeling like we've just experienced a profound piece of Art and Truth. Had to subscribe Greetings from the USA !!

Please do more Ren!

Look up Ren's music its addictive. 🔥🔥🔥💛

Take a look at Jenny and Screech's tale make sure you look at the full version that way you get them in order. the "Tales" shows off his bardic talents

So beautiful you guys ❤️

Love your reactions guys. Ren's music is incredible and refreshing to see talking about illness and his misdiagnosed Lymes disease. Ren and The Big Push are awesome.

he did. it's a brilliant story. but this is an "art piece", not a song, not a video, not a play, but all of these with emotion and heart.

I appreciate your response to this masterpiece!

my connection to this song is only the similarity of struggle,, i'm undiagnosed autistic and have struggled with being a bit weird my whole life i had to start my own business because i had problems holding a job with sleep disorders and high ethics.. but managed to stay in business the last 40 years without needing to advertise or even carry a card, i run a lawn and tree service, a 1st responder thru 40 years of hurricanes in fla ,and do all phases of construction and kind of an inventor on the side, after six years of development i figured out a disaster response product that could help millions worldwide .. then my insurance agent forgot to post a payment back in 2020 and the state took everything i worked the last 40 years for away .. stuck at home like a prisoner i came online and saw people helping others so i started making videos explaining what i was. trying to do to get help, and found out if the platform your uploading to doesn't promote you your just talking to your phone, and then i see stuff like this and get jealous because i will never write a song that gets peoples attn like this. so my chances of bringing my ideas to the world are fading. and it's scary as hell to think of all that could be, but it may all be lost because one person forgot to hit enter on there keyboard.. and my chances of succeeding alone are close to those of getting out of quicksand alone..

Great reaction ...love REN

I adore you both! I feel both your responses are the most dead on to mine and the majority!

He did that LIVE .... see the microphone on his shirt. Check out Chalk outlines. He in a league of his own.
