I have obsessively watched dozens of reactions to this song. This may be the best. Almost no one else brought up the fact that "bad"Ren is telling "good" Ren to kill himself. Also...picking up on the celebratory nature of the singing at the end....really good man

I couldnt agree more with Lawrence. I've watched easily dozens of these reaction videos (I love watching people have this almost profound experience reacting to this song) - and this is 100% the best reaction and analysis I've seen for sure. Truly great job and helping to unpack all these details of the song, the cadence, the structure - you picked up on so many things that I hadn't noticed at all in other reactions!! Loved it, thank you

The same!! I think this is my 50th reaction video. When he said “pendulum” I gasped! This was the most spot on analysis I’ve seen. It was poignant enough to make me cry. First one I’ve seen to remark that the voice changes after the demonic passage. He has synergized the light and the dark. He starts on the dark bass notes and before he sings his first verse of hope, he deftly floats in the high notes while still integrating the bass notes until they are drowned out. And yes the singing with abandon at the end with both lights flickering as if to say “Bring it on, Darkness, I’ll meet you with the Light and we’ll let the sparks fly! I need you to strengthen me!”

What an absolutely brilliant, insightful, in depth analysis. I am a psychologist and you picked up on themes that even I hadn’t even picked up on (and I have done a lot of deep thinking about this song, and watched countless reaction videos). You have really made me think. You are clearly a really deep thinker and I’m glad I found this channel :)

I just can't get past the dream of the Pig Man wheeling him onto the main stage at Glastonbury with the world watching and him just captivating the entire planet - it's a masterpiece. The new Bohemian Rhapsody performed live on one guitar, a microphone, a digital reverb with a mate flicking lamps on and off.

Oh my Lord, I have missed you so much. You have this passion in the way that you speak. You used to call them "rants". You explain things in such a way, that there is no doubt. You have got to be one of the most genuine people I have had the pleasure of viewing. Ok enough of that. I thought that you might start with this one. Ren is taking the internet by storm. Rightly so. I knew that it was going to all that people were saying and so much more. He so expertly described the mind's battle and the extremes of it. The one side being dark and hard. While the other side was nearly childlike and innocent. It was truly an incredible dramatic piece put to music. Ending with the perfect monologue summing it all up. What I take away from this, is try to strive for center. The closer the get, the smaller the swings. Anyway, thank you again and welcome back. May your day be filled with hope, joy and love. Share it with EVERYONE you come in contact with. The world will be a better place. 😸

Then comes the enjoyment of the conversation between the two sides. Next comes the grimace with a bit of a pullback during the darks rant. And lastly the tears and utter awe struck feeling of hope. I'll say it again, it's as if Ren pulls out your soul, lays it bare and puts it back better than before. I can't thank you enough for your insights into why this song makes me feel the way it does.

Really beautiful in-the-moment analysis; by now I've watched what seems like a million reactions to Hi Ren, and very few of them rise to this level. The song is so lyrically dense, it's entirely understandable that even EXCELLENT reactors might "miss" all sorts of stuff so I never fault them if a bunch of stuff slips through their fingers & can enjoy those reactions too, but I love when someone REALLY gets so much of it on first listen. Don't mind me; I'm off to binge-watch the rest of your Ren playlist now :) Happy birthday, Hi Ren reaction video!

Fantastic reaction. Thank you! In the last verse after he does his singing and goes into the triumphant humming or howling, The lights begin to Flash like they only did when the character was the darker part of him. I think that perfectly draws together the duality of man. Many christians take this as only a fight with the darkness or the devil. I can see the Christian perspective but I think the deeper meaning of the story is that when we no longer shrink from that voice in our head that tends to be negative and dark and seems to always overpower. And when we actually incorporate that power in our outward life we can triumph. Ren is truly an amazingly special gift to us. He is a unicorn Swiss army knife of talent wirh a way of using every blade and tool wirh surgical prowess.

Dude. When you said that about the pendulum it gave me goosebumps hearing that because I knew what was coming. I love your reaction as REN is a very intelligent young man as you can probably tell. I knew that everything he did had a reason. It was supposed to be there so I loved when you broke it down to some reasoning I'm pretty sure you're right. I love it I've watched him for a bit infact I can't quit watching him. He's about the age of my son who is no longer with me. As I'm finding out more things about REN he had brought me out of the dark place I was sliding into. I've lost all of my family & the guilt & shame I felt was overpowering me. I know my son would have loved him. Both my kids would have & I feel them with me & I feel like it's Ok. I'm going to be Ok. I'm not alone with my feelings because others feel the same. I've watched grown men cry like I did the 1st time. I love watching the reactions so much because you can just tell he's touching them in one way or another & they are so lost in the video they forget they're supposed to be reacting cause they're really reacting but it's in the raw. I'm sure you'll probably do some research on him. I know he was sick for a long time. When he was stuck in his room for a while he really had a lot of time studying music. He knew how to make this happen. I feel so proud of him.

You’ll have to forgive me for finding it difficult to believe that this was your first time listening to this art piece, because if you watch other reactions, most of them get so absorbed in the magic of what is happening in front of them, that their brain short circuits. You hit so many points, and I think the gift of your reaction is if this is the first time people stumble across this masterpiece, you lay it out for them so beautifully . Well done. I’d like to add one observation. You are right, and that he starts out as defensive and trying to explain himself to his shadow. It almost comes across like he’s as much trying to convince himself as he is trying to convince his darker side. As the argument progresses, it becomes progressively clearer that you can not argue with an entity that will just shift gears and paint you into a corner. His desire to kill this darker aspect of himself is honest and raw. It is when the darker side escalates that he surrenders and excepts that without darkness you cannot know light. They go together in the polarity that is the universe. Insides and outsides. Crests and troughs. And he integrates. His resolve comes not from being unable to “defeat” his shadow but in accepting it and learning to dance with it while staying grounded in his light. It’s magnificent and I can’t stop watching it. React to more Ren please and if this was a true first watch, then you, my friend , have clearly done some self work and reflection. Either way , great job.

Excellent reaction and analysis! The performance follows a music maker's journey or method. I like how his guitar playing gets a little messed up in the beginning, as the creative process is developing, and the voice of doubt creeps in. Then the singing in the beginning is a technique of just singing nonsense and the words will come later. Then when he tries to shut out the voice of doubt, he starts to stumble again on the guitar. In the end he finds the words, the nonsense singing even expands and then the song is left on an unresolved chord.

The same!! I think this is my 50th reaction video. When he said “pendulum” I gasped! This was the most spot on analysis I’ve seen. It was poignant enough to make me cry. First one I’ve seen to remark that the voice changes after the demonic passage. He has synergized the light and the dark. He starts on the dark bass notes and before he sings his first verse of hope, he deftly floats in the high notes while still integrating the bass notes until they are drowned out. And yes the singing with abandon at the end with both lights flickering as if to say “Bring it on, Darkness, I’ll meet you with the Light and we’ll let the sparks fly! I need you to strengthen me!”
What an absolutely brilliant, insightful, in depth analysis. I am a psychologist and you picked up on themes that even I hadn’t even picked up on (and I have done a lot of deep thinking about this song, and watched countless reaction videos). You have really made me think. You are clearly a really deep thinker and I’m glad I found this channel :)

If you go to Jonathan Hiller's (Filmmaker Reacts) reaction to Hi Ren, in the comments you'll see the cinematographer Samuel Perry-Falvey clarify that this was not a one-shot video like many of Ren's other videos. A masterpiece nonetheless.
Celebration yes. Not of victory but of acceptance of his duality.
What an incredibly talented guy. Amazing ….
Yes! At 5:15 you mention a pendulum from dark to light! I almost lost my shit. You are sooooo good. I have watched hundreds of reactions to this and you have been so on point this whole time.

He is an absolute treasure. Your reaction was brilliant, I love how you explain your thoughts, one of my favourite reaction Channels ❤
Beautiful.... A rising tide. Because it raises all ships. You are as eloquent as Ren. I loved your reaction to this. Very insightful. You got my subscription when you said he was a rising tide, deeply profound. I'm glad Ren brought me to you! All the best to you & yours Ann
Yours is the best reaction video to Hi Ren that I've seen and I've watched 50+. No doubt Ren himself will drop a comment before long. Great job. I just can't get past the dream of the Pig Man wheeling him onto the main stage at Glastonbury with the world watching and him just captivating the entire planet - it's a masterpiece. The new Bohemian Rhapsody performed live on one guitar, a microphone, a digital reverb with a mate flicking lamps on and off.
Now that you have been blown away by Ren can you believe he only has 500000 subs please give Ren some love and subscribe to this genius. Great reaction as usual
Another great one is his trilogy: Jenny, Screech, & Violets Tale. There is a video with all 3 together.
Holy crap m8! That was officially the very best reaction I have ever seen to anything music. The fact that you're able to find the right wording so easily and so extremely straight off the bat is REALLY impressive. It takes at least 16 cores to fire simultaneously to be able to do that 🙂 The scary part is that you have only ONE core 😉My virtual hat goes off to you, Sir. BIG time. Thanks for this.

Oh my Lord, I have missed you so much. You have this passion in the way that you speak. You used to call them "rants". You explain things in such a way, that there is no doubt. You have got to be one of the most genuine people I have had the pleasure of viewing. Ok enough of that. I thought that you might start with this one. Ren is taking the internet by storm. Rightly so. I knew that it was going to all that people were saying and so much more. He so expertly described the mind's battle and the extremes of it. The one side being dark and hard. While the other side was nearly childlike and innocent. It was truly an incredible dramatic piece put to music. Ending with the perfect monologue summing it all up. What I take away from this, is try to strive for center. The closer the get, the smaller the swings. Anyway, thank you again and welcome back. May your day be filled with hope, joy and love. Share it with EVERYONE you come in contact with. The world will be a better place. 😸
I can't believe you said he was a rising tide . I had that same thought. I have watched more than a few reactions, and you are the only one that has used this expression. Thank you for a wonderful review.
So true. The beginning sounded like madness. The end sounded like an ode to Joy. Very nice @The Fable Sphere.
I've loved watching the evolution of emotion cycle through people. First, bewildered respect and semi confusion with the guitar and vocals. Then comes the enjoyment of the conversation between the two sides. Next comes the grimace with a bit of a pullback during the darks rant. And lastly the tears and utter awe struck feeling of hope. I'll say it again, it's as if Ren pulls out your soul, lays it bare and puts it back better than before. I can't thank you enough for your insights into why this song makes me feel the way it does. You have a new sub and we are sending much love from TX!

I have struggled for over 40 yrs.& it NEVER goes away but, you have to learn the management (the dance) to not drown in the dark shadow of the pendulum. THANK YOU for such an accurate interpretation of his work.
I can’t get enough of Ren and I”m so glad you found this as instrumental as I did. Ren = Master story teller. Please react to Jenny’s tale, Screech’s Tale and Violets Tale in that order.
You nailed it, as soon as you said it at the beginning I thought shit, did he hear it already lol great reaction!❤
I found this and it means so much to me . I won't explain that which he has described perfectly.
I've found your channel on the 1 year + 1 day anniversary of the video. Really beautiful in-the-moment analysis; by now I've watched what seems like a million reactions to Hi Ren, and very few of them rise to this level. The song is so lyrically dense, it's entirely understandable that even EXCELLENT reactors might "miss" all sorts of stuff so I never fault them if a bunch of stuff slips through their fingers & can enjoy those reactions too, but I love when someone REALLY gets so much of it on first listen. Don't mind me; I'm off to binge-watch the rest of your Ren playlist now :) Happy birthday, Hi Ren reaction video!
I have no idea how many times I've watched/listened to this piece of art, nor how many times I have watched reactors to this masterpiece. I don't know why your reaction wasn't offered to me until now, but I'm so glad it was, finally. The line "the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope" crushed me the first time I heard it (and still does). You're the first reactor I've seen that had the same visceral reaction I had when I first heard it, and here I am again, eyes full of tears because of your reaction, and I just want to say thank you. Masterful.
I (as well as many others) have been obsessed with this song and I gotta say, that I loved you indepth reaction to this song! I have watched about a hundred reactions and your one of the deeper thoughtful ones! WELL DONE!!!
insanely clever
Fantastic reaction. Thank you! In the last verse after he does his singing and goes into the triumphant humming or howling, The lights begin to Flash like they only did when the character was the darker part of him. I think that perfectly draws together the duality of man. Many christians take this as only a fight with the darkness or the devil. I can see the Christian perspective but I think the deeper meaning of the story is that when we no longer shrink from that voice in our head that tends to be negative and dark and seems to always overpower. And when we actually incorporate that power in our outward life we can triumph. Ren is truly an amazingly special gift to us. He is a unicorn Swiss army knife of talent wirh a way of using every blade and tool wirh surgical prowess.
Brilliant reaction and thoughtful reflections on this masterpiece of music and artistic expression. I was blown away by this video and this was after knowing Ren from his busking in my local town. It is a very sophisticated psychological and spiritual message with a purposeful trajectory. The delivery is just something else. To do all that in one take is just something else. Pure genius.

Absolutely beautiful reaction to this masterpiece. I’ve watched so many reactions to Hi Ren and yours is by far the best🙌🏾👊🏽🙏🏽
great reaction, thanks for sharing your thoughts! the "she sells seashells on a sea shore" has some kind of double meaning: first, it underlines the doubts, that he is not capable of writing his own lyrics, he is depending on inspiration and "steals" good stuff from other, even when it is an old tongue-twister, and second, its some kind of reminiscence to his song "money game part 2", where he took this line as some kind of basestructure of how economics work nowadays. funnily, this brought different people on the trip, when it was used as a meme in a luigi-video.
The algorhythms just brought me to your amazing philosophical reaction to Ren's "Dear God" (so good I immediately shared it to my FB page) and I was an instant subscriber and eagerly jumped to see if you had reacted to this or Ren's other incredible work. You didn't disappoint with this perceptive and insightful reaction. Am about to watch your reaction to Chalk Outlines. I can't see any others for Ren but in particular I would love you to react to: How to be Me (also with Chinchilla), Depression (funnily enough one line says "like pigs to the slaughter" which you mentioned here in Hi Ren), Do You Beleive?, Depression, Insomnia, Diazepam, Humble and Heretic - All his work is amazing but I feel those pieces will be especially good for your insights
by far the best, most insightful reaction to this performance I have seen. Bravo. I hope you react to more of Ren's work.

I've watched so many people react to this song..just to see if they are as mind blown and amazed as me.
Loved your reaction! Great attention to details and interesting analytical observations. Also welcome to the genius that is Ren. The authenticity, the clever mind, and the strength to not only survive his struggles but to share his story and inspire others to keep going too. It’s beautiful.
Firstly, great reaction. Very insightful. Secondly, the "Loosen the noose on the rope" line was an Effen BAR and I'm glad you had such a visceral reaction to it. I'm sure other reactors haven't all missed it, and perhaps were just too entranced to comment, but it's a heccen bar my man!
I wish I had watched this reaction 8 months ago! This was the best reaction I've seen to this video! ❤ I hope Ren sees your reactions to his work at some point. He would really feel seen and heard! ❤
Eminem has a song that starts with "she sells seashells on the seashore" so it's also a reference to that. Yes, you did say the pendulum thing at the start. Great reaction, great insights.
What a fantastic reaction. Nice one 👍 Love to see you react to . Full version, tales of Jenny and screech. They are so original , though negative side of REN would probably say it was copied from a minstrel. 😂

Dude. When you said that about the pendulum it gave me goosebumps hearing that because I knew what was coming. I love your reaction as REN is a very intelligent young man as you can probably tell. I knew that everything he did had a reason. It was supposed to be there so I loved when you broke it down to some reasoning I'm pretty sure you're right. I love it I've watched him for a bit infact I can't quit watching him. He's about the age of my son who is no longer with me. As I'm finding out more things about REN he had brought me out of the dark place I was sliding into. I've lost all of my family & the guilt & shame I felt was overpowering me. I know my son would have loved him. Both my kids would have & I feel them with me & I feel like it's Ok. I'm going to be Ok. I'm not alone with my feelings because others feel the same. I've watched grown men cry like I did the 1st time. I love watching the reactions so much because you can just tell he's touching them in one way or another & they are so lost in the video they forget they're supposed to be reacting cause they're really reacting but it's in the raw. I'm sure you'll probably do some research on him. I know he was sick for a long time. When he was stuck in his room for a while he really had a lot of time studying music. He knew how to make this happen. I feel so proud of him.

Thank you very much for sharing this. I'm very sorry to hear about your kids. I do agree with you, artists like this are incredibly important, it's just a pity that society at large don't appreciate people like Ren and prefer to push the music that's empty.
There's more to his setting than most realize... he often finds great spaces for acoustic value. The way his voice resonates isn't by accident.
One of the best and most profound reflections on this wonderful work. Thank you very much!

You deserve a million subscribers, man. Love your intelligent reactions. I watched many reactors, but haven't yet come across one as perceptive and eloquent as you.
Brilliant! You are the ONLY reactor I've watched review this who's picked up on all these various deeper nuances; inferences & comparisons to other artists (a few got Eminem); the progression/taunting/resolution of different aspects of his internal personae; the change in cadence at the end (1 other noted that tbf); & the change in the intro & ending. You did make an analogy to it being representative of a pendulum. I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts & absolutely agree that this piece is masterful. I admire Ren tremendously for sharing something so personal. It's resonated with a lot of people. I'm definitely one of them. Great reaction.
I wrote one of the comments and recommended this song to you and I am so so happy you watched it and enjoyed it. 🙂 If you haven't seen The Tale of Jenny and Screech trilogy from Ren you should. You won't regret. Thank you for consideration.

Hi, @thefablesphere, First time watcher, and new subscriber. This was an absolutely excellent video that really did a fantastic job of breaking down this song. You’ll have to forgive me for finding it difficult to believe that this was your first time listening to this art piece, because if you watch other reactions, most of them get so absorbed in the magic of what is happening in front of them, that their brain short circuits. You hit so many points, and I think the gift of your reaction is if this is the first time people stumble across this masterpiece, you lay it out for them so beautifully . Well done. I’d like to add one observation. You are right, and that he starts out as defensive and trying to explain himself to his shadow. It almost comes across like he’s as much trying to convince himself as he is trying to convince his darker side. As the argument progresses, it becomes progressively clearer that you can not argue with an entity that will just shift gears and paint you into a corner. His desire to kill this darker aspect of himself is honest and raw. It is when the darker side escalates that he surrenders and excepts that without darkness you cannot know light. They go together in the polarity that is the universe. Insides and outsides. Crests and troughs. And he integrates. His resolve comes not from being unable to “defeat” his shadow but in accepting it and learning to dance with it while staying grounded in his light. It’s magnificent and I can’t stop watching it. React to more Ren please and if this was a true first watch, then you, my friend , have clearly done some self work and reflection. Either way , great job.

I'm so glad you did this dude, thankyou, I can't wait until you find his hip hop stuff. This guy can spit. Check out The Hunger. 😎😎😎
This was such a spot on breakdown of this song. You understood everything that happened thats taken me I don’t know how many times listening to this to get a grasp of. Brilliant breakdown and reaction I loved it.
I was so hoping you would come back for this one!!!
That was truly the best reaction I have seen this for this song so far. And I saw many of them. Thank you for your thoughts and for sharing them. Some of them helped me to understand the lyrics better as I am not a native English speaker. Also you show everyone how much you respect and appreciate Ren's Art.
First class observations and analysis, I believe you didn’t miss a beat of what I have observed after watching many reactions to this. Superb, thanks you 👍🇬🇧
Well done!! You captured the whole piece brilliantly as we all knew you would. This is what we all miss by not having our philosophical friend Fil analyzing and dissecting the video/lyrics. This reaction reminds me of how you would break down every TOP video you reacted to. We all miss you my friend. Next up if your feeling up to it 🙂 Ren: "Sick Boi" " Ren and Chichilla- "Chalk Outlines"

You reacted to a song by Ren that I personally asked you on Instagram 2 years ago! I still watch that video because it helped me a lot. I'm glad that you're reacting to him again.
Loved this reaction. Subbed as soon as I saw the copy of 1984 behind you.

Great reaction, welcome to the Ren rabbit hole ;) its a deep one..pls check out: Ren - The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full) /// The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop /// Ren X Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines (live) you will not be disapointed by this genius ;)
An eloquent and perceptive reaction, thanks for exploring this one. Please, when able to, react to more Ren!
Great Reaction, I strongly suggest The FULL VERSION of The Tale Jenny & Screech, it's mind blowing, Bardcore is the genre BTW Think of a Storyteller with elements of Theater & Plays, updated, You did say Pendulum at the beginning, Good Call!
Great reaction. The video Jenny’s Tale, Screech’s Tale and Violet’s Tale (full) has put all three together in their proper order and will blow your mind..
This is the FIRST time the relevance of the pig-costume and the bloody apron is analyzed. Best reaction.
I've lost count on how many reactions I've watched to this video, but I know that this is one of the very best. Well done on such an articulate and emotional response.
this song pierces me! but it is very complicated for me to really understand the text because my English is not good enough and the translation is really nonsense! but I'm going to take my time to understand the depth of this text because for you it's great! thank you Fil and see you soon🤗❤
I only discovered him on Saturday, I've been watching reactions because I'll never get to watch this for the first time again. I've seen him put a comment in the section. I hope he gets to see this, you're the best reaction I've seen.
U have no idea how brilliantly ya have explained his brilience.. I can only thank ya mate.. TC

Excellent reaction and analysis! The performance follows a music maker's journey or method. I like how his guitar playing gets a little messed up in the beginning, as the creative process is developing, and the voice of doubt creeps in. Then the singing in the beginning is a technique of just singing nonsense and the words will come later. Then when he tries to shut out the voice of doubt, he starts to stumble again on the guitar. In the end he finds the words, the nonsense singing even expands and then the song is left on an unresolved chord.
Best reaction I've seen for this song. Great job. 👍
This was definitely one of the best reactions I've seen, you are so good at picking apart songs and their meanings. I watched your Ren reactions when you first released them 2 years ago and you loved them. I hope you continue reacting to Ren and do his whole catalogue. Or at least most. One of my favourites of his is called Pocket full of pain and I hope you react to it one day. Much love bro
Best reaction to this song I have seen and I have been a Ren fan and heard so many reactions before this but I saw you review Chalk Outlines and added a sub. Great job. God love Ren 🙏
Sick boi by Ren is another one you should watch. Then Jenny Screech and Violets tale as 1 piece. Then he released Bittersweet Symphony retake yesterday. All of his stuff is amazing
You should be doing talks... doesn´t matter the topic. Your are a true speaker man. Awesome reaction to an awesome piece of art. Big hug from Mexico. Cheers.
