Hey everyone, I had a tough time downloading and uploading this video. For whatever reason my editing software would not download the "fully" edited final version and kept leaving the "Title" caption at 19:55. Here is what that section should have: Voice of Hope - Ren - Lights flicker (in order of sequence). Thank you to everyone who pushed for this video! I was impressed with the acting, storytelling, rapping, singing, and videography. Truly a breath of fresh air.

Ren and more ren please !❤ Also check out Sam Tompkins and Chinchilla 😍 They are all off the charts amazing artists. If you want more of another theatrical from ren definitely do Tale of Jenny and Screech ( full version) Ren and Chinchilla: Chalk Outline, How to be me (live) Sam Tompkins: lose it all, time will fly, see me Chinchilla: Fingers,( live) Little girl gone ( live) Thank you❤

Great reaction and analysis. I would also recommend "Chalk Outlines" and/or "How to be Me" with Chinchilla. Also, Chinchilla by herself is worth a listen. Fingers" live, "Little Girl Gone" are two good ones. Ren has quite a catalog of music videos to select from, solo, collaboration with others or with the band, "The Big Push." It would also be good to look into his background to understand what he has gone through, and is still battling with. It will help to put some of his songs and lyrics into perspective.

It's pretty clear to anyone who performs, that this is "live" (not performed over a track). That being said, this is no more "live" than any other studio performance. Every studio take is "LIVE" as it's being performed. Learn what you are talking about...

Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole, it runs deep, but is a wonderful journey! Nope, no post production, I know, I had a hard time believing it myself, as I have a little background in studio and sound engineering. This was recorded 100% live, one take, 3 camera angles, It took them 4 tries to get it, but what you saw was one take, the only cut they made post production was between the song and the spoken word part at the end. Up until very recently, most of his videos are done with just Ren and his buddy, and incredible videographer, Sam, and they pride themselves on doing it live in one take, though it often takes them many attempts. Ren had a development deal with an agent who worked under Sony's umbrella when he was 17, he was discovered "busking" which is U.K. slang for street performing, and quite popular in certain cities like Brighton, where Ren spent his teen years, he's originally from Wales. He fell ill shortly after the deal and had to back out. He spent the next 8 years undiagnosed and eventually the medical community telling him it was all in his head, He spent years on experimental drugs, and agonizing pain, at it's worst, he spent several years in his early 20s spending 23hrs a day in bed, and just taking a shower caused him excruciating pain. He has stated at this point, he was convinced he'd never see the age of 30. He's now 34 or soon to be 34. Luckily due to his own determination and research, he stumbled on a doctor about 5hrs north of him, that he had sent all his medical records and labs to, who said he knew what Ren had, but wanted to run tests to be certain. After a quick go-fund-me campaign he traveled north to the doctor who eventually confirmed Ren had Lyme disease. Ren was ecstatic to finally have a diagnosis, the problem was, doctors had never treated a patient that suffered from Lyme disease for so long (7-8 years) without diagnosis or treatment, people perished or were diagnosed before that time. So the disease had done a number on not just his mental health, but his muscle mass and bone structure, so Ren hopped back on the research wagon, and started doing music again. As luck would have it, a kid in Florida who was into small independent artists, was a fan of Ren's, and his dad just so happened to be a surgeon on the cutting edge of stem cell research. He told Ren if he could get to Florida that he could stay with his family and he'd do the stem cell surgery on Ren free of charge, but that there was no guarantee it would work. Another go-fund-me and Ren was off to the states, the surgery was painful but after 6mos of recovery Ren's muscle mass and bone density returned to almost normal. That was 4-5 years ago, he is still not out of the woods completely and still has bad days, but life is much much better for him. He's currently doing on again off again treatment in Canada, at a clinic that specializes in autoimmune disorders, where they put you on crazy amounts of natural vitamins, do neuro treatments to repair damaged synapses in brain and neuro pathways, and find a diet for the patients that best keeps away any future issues, and allows a better homeostasis for your bodies immune system. Sorry for the ramble, but now you are caught up on Ren's health issues, and I will let you discovery his musical past and future journey on your own, I've been playing or a part of music my entire life, I am 53yrs old, and I have never seen a person with such a diverse set of talents when it comes to all things music, in all genres, and he's completely self taught. You truly are in for a treat exploring his catalogue further. I REALLY REALLY enjoyed your break down and synopsis of this song, very unique, intelligent and informative, keep up the great work, I REALLY look forward to checking out more of your content!! Cheers!! ✌️💚

Nice breakdown! Whether you choose to do any other Ren works or not, I would recommend the "Tales of Jenny and Screech". In a similar vein style-wise, each person has their own unique signature.

It was done live, it was one take with different camera angles but this take that they decided on was actually the 4th take I believe. You can tell it’s live, it would be impossible to match this video accurately with a separate audio recording. Everything he releases, or that I have seen so far, is in this same format. Check out him ‘busking’ with his band ‘the big push’ ( I am from the UK & assumed everyone was aware of the term ‘busking’, but apparently not so in the US. It is basically performing for free on street corners etc)

Thank you for your insights and and breakdown on this very special piece of music. Love how you talked about voice control and you had me smiling when you thought that his breathing might have been edited out. Nope. Ren is “blessed with an iron lung” as he says in one of his songs. I also appreciate you mentioning his acting skills. All self taught and honed during his days busking on the streets of Brighton. I’m a new subscriber and will be watching for more.

Great reaction. As an opera singer, I expected you to appreciate the theatre, the drama, the performance. As already mentioned in the comments, his trilogy of Jenny and Screach is another masterclass in storytelling. Cheers 🙂

Hey Jess, great reaction. Love having your insight. I think next from Ren you should be looking into either "Chalk Outlines" or "How to be Me" live with chinchilla, or his live version of "for joe". For more storytelling, "The tale of Jenny and Screech" is also fantastic.

Your reactions are just SO good! You pick up on some of the nuances that I haven't heard any other reactor mention. I've watched Hi Ren maybe a hundred times and you made me appreciate it in a whole new way. In terms of what else to listen to, PLEASE react to Ren's duets with Chinchilla. There are live versions of Chalk Outlines and How to Be Me. Both will give you a whole new side of Ren and his vocal abilities. Then, listen to Chinchilla's solo stuff. I think you will be blown away by Fingers (Live).

Performed live by Ren, in one take with multiple cameras. Took a total of 4 attempts before he was happy with it. He is extremely talented and I'm so happy to see him getting exposure and recognition. He deserves it.

Hi and thank you for this finetuned and profound reaction - enjoyed it. Welcome to this beautiful RENaissance 😌

Wow, thanks a bunch and welcome to the community!

It's like a modern day mini opera. Incredibly creative and original. True art. I didn't feel bored for one second.

I love this song so much. Ren is amazing. One bit you'll probably appreciate is that he really likes reactors - he links to them on his page when someone reacts to one of his songs. He was diagnosed in like 2014 with Lyme disease. ...unfortunately, he actually *got* Lyme disease several years earlier, and had endured years of misdiagnosis, and mistreatment, leading to episodes of psychosis and chronic fatigue that kept him bedridden up to 23 hours a day. He had been on track to release an album for Sony, but they dropped him when he got ill. I don't know how, but he kept fighting for a doctor that could help him, and he's finally getting better. His new album drops in like 2 weeks! I've already bought it. He's completely independent now - no label. You might like "Sick Boi" as a song to react to. An artist that I love that hasn't gotten much attention from the reactor community is Julia Fordham. Probably "Porcelain" is a good place to start, though my personal favorite song of hers is "Falling Forward".

Trust the stranger on the interweb... his breath control and range is Unreal!!! Coming from a guitarist/musician of 40 plus years... ive never seen anyone like him!!! Youve truly just fell into the deepest rabbit hole on the interweb!!! From Rap to Rock, from Pop to Reggae, to his own genre called Bardcore... made-up by his fans... he crosses Genres with ease and perfection! I beg you to dig into the RENaissance and prepare to be blown away! Im sure Thousands of fans will recommend tracks... so ill just suggest one! Jenny and Screech trilogy (Full Version a Must!) should be the next in your journey! Also... he did this in 3.5 takes... getting kicked out of the property during 4th take! He choose the 3rd try using one audio and the 3 different video angles to make this Masterpiece! FYI... pick any 10 random tracks aside from this and the Tales... and you might find two that are similar!!! Seriously... buckle up! Especially when reacting to him and his band... the Big Push, and the many duets hes done!!! Seriously... DEEP!!!! Lol

He just took #1 in the charts!!!

This was a great analysis of Ren's masterpiece. Thank you so much. I absolutely recommend that you watch The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full) next. The 13 min version on Ren's channel. You are going to appreciate it so much, i can tell ❤

Loved your breakdown of this song!

Yes! Another opera singer reactor to follow! The algorithm has done me right. I loved your analysis of this piece. Especially the fact you caught on to the “reality check” at the end. A lot of reactors seem to think it’s just good vs. evil, good wins, the end. I get so frustrated that they miss the entire message that life isn’t just black and white, good vs evil, etc… I like to refer to the voices as “negative inner voice”, “unhelpful positive inner voice”, and the third “accepting inner voice” which understands that we all will experience times of euphoria and happiness, times of depression and anxiety, and everything in between. In fact right before the negative inner voice goes haywire, you can hear the unhelpful positive voice getting frustrated in tone. Can’t wait to view more of your videos.

Bravo for taking the time and really paying attention to so many details and actually try to understand all the moving pieces as one big whole. You interpreted it so cohesively within the message of the piece. I rarely see anyone so attentive to every little detail not only on youtube but in real life. I love your approach.

I adore Ren and every other song of his I want everyone to hear him! You did a wonderful job putting the pieces of this song together musically. Thank you, I really appreciate it ❤

Best reaction ever about this video and I saw so many on KZread, seriously. Great sensitivity, knowledge and artist perspective. Now you're into this Rens rabbit hole, you should react to these other masterpieces: 1. The tale of Jenny and Screetch (three live videos, it'sa trilogy) 2. How to be me x Chinchilla (live version) 3. Chalk Outlines x Chinchilla (live version) 4. For Joe (live performance). For this one, you need to watch Suicide at least 5. Humble x Eden Nush, oficial lyrics video 6. Ocean x Eden Nush, oficial video This last two are the studio version, for me two of my Rens favorite songs, your mind will blow up!! Enjoy my short list 🤘🏼😆🎶

Oh wow!!! This was an amazing analysis. I knew I loved it before I saw it. You catch all the most minute and relevant details. If you are open to suggestions, there is a live video of Ren busking with his band "The Big Push." He's wearing red suspenders in the video I'm thinking of where he sings parts of, "I Shot The Sheriff", "The Road to Zion" and "Hip Hop." It's a whole other side to his musicality and leadership. (Not every band leader does it so smoothly.)

Good evening Jess, I first saw Hi REN @ 3 months ago...... I'm an older man in his 50's and as you can imagine have a classic rock background. I have since watched dozens of reaction videos to this song as others from Ren, but I feel only a handful have had the keen insight, and ear to analyze it as deeply as you've shown.

So this is easily one one the most in depth reactions to this piece. You found so much in the first listen. Superb! Welcome to Ren. I’ll definitely be very interested to follow your journey. Just subscribed lol.

this was a brilliant reaction, thank you so much for sharing. if you're curious about Ren and you're looking for some insight into his character i highly recommend watching the video he made when he hit 1 million subscribers on youtube, "defining success". also, look out for his work with his band "the big push" and any collabs he does. i promise you won't be disappointed! thanks once again, much love to you and yours.

This was a joy and so educational to watch as well.

And the editing is very well done. Lots of work gone into this. Bravo!

I bet this is your most viewed video in a couple months by far!!! Over a million I'd bet! Very good reaction, great commentary! Dont be surprised if Ren replies personally! Hope ya do more! At least the Tales! (FULL Version!)

You clearly put real work and effort into this reaction video, and I appreciate that.

Awesome breakdown of what is truly to become a classis. I believe the last musical section of him standing and playing the guitar represents him doing "the dance" with his two selves.. that's why the lights are flickering a bit in time to the music. Thanks again for doing this ❤

@sopranoNotes I've watched a LOT of reactions. Yours really stood out. I love what you picked out and made note of. Looking forward to you hopefully reacting to more of Ren's rabbit hole of intriguing and fun works.

I am so happy you got around to this work of genius. It is one of the most powerful pieces of art I've ever come across. Thanks for your in depth breakdown. It was a real treat!

His Videographer is Sam Perry-Falvey. Just the other day, Joe E. Sparks did a good long interview with him and Sam explains a lot about his team and his process. It's a great watch.

Excellent reaction, good job. The tale of Jenny & Screech trilogy, (Ren has all 3 vids stitched together on his channel), from a live performance prospective will blow your mind, all 3 are 1 take live performances. Money Game part 1 (another 1 take but took over 180 goes to get the one he was happy with!), also incredible. The Ren rabbit hole is rapid but incredibly satisfying. Bongo bong by his band The Big Push great fun, all the big push stuff live recordings of their street busking performances or them just chilling at home. Ren x Chinchilla Chalk Outlines live is an emotional experience, Chinchilla's voice will blow your mind...

I've been watching a bunch of different reactions to this in the past month or so and this was definitely one of the best. Thanks 🙏.

I appreciate that, thank you!

This is one of the best reactions i’ve ever seen.

What a great reaction! New sub here. Can't wait to see you do more Ren.

Incredible work. This is one of the most detailed and thoughtful (and informative!) breakdowns of this great piece of art I have seen.

you have a long and winding road with this one , full of smiles and surprises and admiration . Welcome to the Renegades .

I loved the way you broke this down and put notes for us on the screen

I don’t know if he removed any breaths but he IS a master of breath control and can hold his breath for 3 and a half minutes. He follows Wim Hoff with breathing exercises to reduce inflamation in his body ..plus ice baths. He does have Lyme disease, autoimmunity and Mcas also the damage done fromv7 years of misdiagnosis. I don’t think he cut out any breathing. We do often discuss his lung capacity😂 He does an acousticl ive version of Animal Flow sitting in the back seat of a moving bus that is epic. Think you woukd love the Tales of Jenny and Screech FULL.

I love your format! Your face is so emotive but doesn't look like you're exaggerating on purpose, which is beautiful. I'm assuming that's your choice at the end and WOW! Gorgeous! Thank you so much for the wonderful cards on the screen spelling it out for those of us that learn so much better when given multiple types of input.

So ive watched probably 50 of the hi ren reactions.. i really enjoyed uour analysis and how you went back and had the description bubbles for the specific scenes about which you were speaking. I cant wait for you to see the tales of jenny and screech (and violet) but also he and sam tompkins do some really fun atuff that shows more of his vocal range.. i think you'll enjoy thay as well

Great and insightful reaction 🔥👏👏

Thank you for a wonderful and insightful reaction. You appear to have spotted many things in your first viewing that I didn't notice until about the tenth or twelfth time of watching this masterwork of performance art.

We have another one that fell in the Ren rabbit hole!! Welcome we love company! Awesome reaction!

Besides the "Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full version)", please check out the theatricality and brilliance in his video "Money Game part 3" 🙏

Wonderful reaction, emotional and technical. I saw dozens of hi ren reactions, but none of them with an Rachmaninow extro of one of my favorite ever pieces - the vocalise. Thank you so well!

Welcome to the rollercoaster of Ren.. you are in for a wonderful treat when you react to more of his videos and his music. REN fans “RENegades” will be more the. Answer questions that you have.. he has a die hard fan base and he is such a talent that you are going to enjoy.. this particular video is a live one take session that took him a total of four tries to film and get thru. He and his good friend Sam have such a vision of how a simple video and music can touch people. Can’t express how much of his music has touched millions and can’t wait till you see and hear more

Really happy to watch your video and the breakdown. Also really happy that you discovered Ren.
