My first real kinda living out of home boyfriend was when I had just turned 19. Had life gone to plan I would have never met him. Anyhow I did. And he was horrible. Took me so long to leave, thank all things that we never had kids, but he used to come in at all hours & lift up my eyelids. Like he controlled my sleep, if he wanted to talk to me when I was in the shower or on the toilet he would just follow me everywhere. It's just hit 15 years free of him but I'll never be ok. I had to go into hiding basically cos he was terrifying & knew people who could track me down etc. He grew up in a very violent & multigenerational dysfunctional family but that doesn't give him permission to be a violent jerk. "Why do you like to make me angry" while being dragged through the house by my hair at 2am vibes.

sirens sound like banshees in the night... the banshee, according to folklore, announces the imminent death of a family member of those who can hear her scream.

"Violet was a silent girl, grew up with violent starts......" Ren already added the N. Great reaction and thanks for not being long winded during your pauses. Cheers.

The reactions of violet and Jenny are the same, as is the behaviour of Screech and Steve. The insight in the line - why do you make me do this - abusers blame victims. Love your reaction.

One thing to note is the police officer is also a victim and a survivor to a large extent. Not a main part of the story but his story in a lot of ways is just as important.

I hope you'll get to meet the person you still will become -- and I'm guessing the person you have become is pretty cool, too.

Tale of Screech was written and performed first after Ren saw a news article about a police officer shot and killed a young boy. The officer was quoted as saying "it's such a shame." Several months later he wrote and performed the Tale of Jenny. Lastly, many months later he wrote Violet's Tale. I think it was nearly 3 years to write and perform all of them. He is a pure artist. He is good at absolutely everything music related.

In the top 3 of reactions of the 100+ I have watched, for the deep insight into the inter-generational abuse, actually probably top spot.

How you threw down your headphones once you came to the same realization that we all did. Priceless. All the previous analysis went out the window. That is Ren's genius

The throwing of the headphones and the "no signal" sent me! We all knew it was coming, but your reaction was priceless. THAT SAID... I love that Ren isn't scared to talk about the hard things. His ability to spread awareness and start the "gross" conversations is epic. Thank you for this break down and conversation.

The cycle of violence cannot be described better; I agree 100x100. I have seen several reactions to this trilogy and for me, yours is undoubtedly the most intelligent. To contribute something to what was said; the similarity in character of Jenny and Violet... and of Screech with Stevie. The life of the twins beginning and ending side by side...Ren suggests the configuration of the characters with very precise brushstrokes. It also takes advantage of the echoes of the rooms and all the tools at its disposal to support the narrative. He is undoubtedly a genius. A pleasure, as always, to hear your opinions with a lot of weight, undoubtedly the result of your knowledge and experience. Thank you!

Thanks for the positive vibes!

Ren's genius is so profound. He referenced an old children's rhyme but allowed you to finish it in your head in addition to that what his lyrics went on to say. "Knick Knack Paddy Whack...." Allowing our brains to finish the line "Give a dog a bone" which speaks very clearly to the focus Stevie had on his path of abusive behavior. Stevie was a dog with a bone. Which was a line Ren never even said, he allowed our brains to finish it. He is clever enough, I'm sure it was intentional on his part. So his lyrics he says are powerful and poignant as well as the lyrics he DIDN'T say. Impressive.

When I first saw these video’s months ago all I could do is just sit with my mouth hanging open for a bit. Ren is an amazing musical artist, lyric genius, and a fabulous story teller with a message. My older brother and I were the ones in my family that stopped the long cycle of abuse for our future generations

I've probably seen at least 50-75 reactors react to this. And your response to the end was one of the best. Also a great message after.

Listening to it first will to a degree spoil the impact of Su!cide since it starts with the most impactful verses of it, but told in a less raw more song like manner - so I HIGHLY recommend that even if 'For Joe' gets more requests, you save it for for AFTER the origional version - su!cide. Ren added an hopeful tone to for joe which i think is the impression he wanted to leave you with after seeing both, but dosnt make sense seeing first.

You are the first person I've seen that caught the entirety of story and its implications in their first viewing. For instance, most people will have to listen twice to think of certain things like how screech and Jenny's interaction was exactly what it was because of the default responses they got from their parents, Jenny was quiet like violet and froze when met by screech, a violent boy who felt the full frustration of her being silent, just like his father. Odd satisfaction seeing someone not miss what was there to be seen the first time through 👍

love seeing the addition of Ren's LP on your wall

You are so right about how he paints a visual… when he’s playing Stevie yelling at Violet after he has beaten her… it’s like you can almost see her huddling on the ground, silent, cowering…it’s so visceral!

Well, I was going to go to sleep. I always have to hear the psychological side of this story. Thank you. Im obsessed with why humans do what we do. Im at Violets Tale with you.

I’m always amazed at the realization that they were born together on the same night and they died together on the same night.

I've been so looking forward to reacting to this one. You did not disappoint. You should know, you might actually be the only reactor I have seen who has ever noticed the similarities between Violet and Jenny, and Stevie and Screech - before discovering the twist at the end. Now while none of us know what Ren's intentions were when he was crafting these stories, so whether this is intentional or not - is unknown, but you should be aware that in the UK the only way Violet got a council house at 16, when we have such a massive shortage of social housing, would be if she was ALREADY pregnant when she left home. Which means she would have been pregnant when she met Stevie already. This of course would mean the most likely father of Jenny and Screech would be Violet's own father, rather than is being Stevie - which might perhaps explain why Stevie was calling Violet a "little liar". I'm not sure how I feel about about Violet's mother being silent, and ignoring the abuse going on under her roof - but as a victim of child abuse, I would hypothesise that Violet's mother (as you point out with Violet herself) - very likely also was abused as a child, which is why she is silent, just like Violet - and has likely developed the drinking problem, as a way to not deal with the world. I don't excuse Violet's parents behaviour - just like I don't excuse my own biological parents behaviour. I simply try to understand what led them to here. One thing Ren HAS been very vocal about however, which I feel many reactors do miss - is that Screech in this story, is just as much a victim, as Jenny is. Now that you know a bit more Jenny's backstory via Violets tale - you now realise how old Jenny is, and that she is walking the streets in high heeled shoes with rouge on her cheeks "I swear to god I'll slice the rosy off your cheeks" - so we can have a guess that Jenny who has "walked these streets a thousand times before" - is also not in a good place in her life. Both Jenny and Screech have clearly been badly let down by the social care system, they have likely fallen through the cracks, and have been forgotten about, left to fend for themselves in whatever way they can. If Screech at 14, is involved with essentially gangs, and drugs - it's a pretty good guess - that he also is no longer in a foster home. One of the things I like about this trilogy - is that it can teach of the viewer, to consider other viewpoints than the main narrative - which we should all be doing a lot more of. Take a nature documentary as an example. We are shown a lioness with her cubs, she needs to kill to feed her cubs, so we cheer as she chases the antelope, and kills it, because her cubs will eat today. But there is of course another side to the story, if the story was being told was that the antelope was out getting food for it's own offspring, and they would die if the lioness killed the antelope, then we would be cheering if the antelope escaped from the lioness, even though that would mean the lionesses' cubs would not eat. We need to be taught to observe all aspects of a situation, rather than just being fed a narrative and following that. Thank you for a very informative reaction. Have a great day.

Well said @AndrewJonesMcGuire, it's easier said than done to break the cycle. We are all victims of victims to some extent or another. What's so great about Ren is that he is starting conversations about uncomfortable truths. He also makes the point repeatedly about holding the mirror up to ourselves rather than just blaming everyone else for society's ills.

One of the very best reactions I’ve seen to the masterpiece that is the tales and both your comments are the very best I’ve read in response. I speak from my own childhood DV experiences & how it shaped my psychology. At 53, looking back on my (and my 2 older sisters & our mum’s) “life of survival”, although we escaped many years ago, I can see very clearly how our relationships & coping mechanisms were all solidly moulded by our developed fight/flight/freeze surviving methods. Understanding how, why & where these cycles of intergenerational trauma & violence “come from”, is a crucial step in breaking those cycles. Our Father was one of 11 siblings who grew up watching their own father abuse alcohol & their mother, of the 11, 6 were boys & they “all” grew up & repeated their Fathers cycle. Of the 5 girls, 2 broke the cycle & Married wonderful men, 2 fell victim to repeating the trauma like Violet and 1, true story, drove the get away car for a bank robbery committed by Chopper Read. 2 out of 11 managed to break the cycle 🥹

Ren is such a talent, such an ability to tell a story thru music. He makes us think.

I love the way Ren poetically bookends Screech's tale with "Our story it starts right at the end" (presumably the 'end' being the death of Jenny) and "Our story it ends right at the start" (with the death of Screech). Masterful lyricism.

Enormously satisfying breakdown of a masterpiece. Concise, insightful, you did this song justice!

Violet is also phonetically not far from violate, perhaps especially to our subconscious mind.

“So how do we stop intergenerational abuse”? Brilliant ending to your video. I hope Ren sees this…your response, I believe, is what Ren was hoping to inspire with this awful trilogy. It’s why Ren wrote these songs. To dig into the ugly and inspire change. To me the most profound moment is at the beginning of Violet’s tale, after he finishes the intro and gathers himself…put’s on his Minstrel’s mask. This whole thing is hard truth, meant to make it hard to look away.

That this affected you deeply enough to go "NO SIGNAL" speaks volumes -- on Ren's art, on the authenticity of your reaction, on the profound weight of the stories of these cycles. I dunno if you're only doing new stuff, but if not, I wouldn't mind hearing your reaction to Tracy Chapman's "Behind the Wall" or Pat Benetar's "Hell is for Children". Each different than this, but both on the general topic... and powerful in their own (different) ways.

Ren is a great artist who helps us and makes us more bearable in the form of I'm not alone! I hope this art is not forgotten

I’m writing this at the end of Jenny’s tale. Even at this point your reaction and your thinking is so clear and SO line with Ren’s it’s amazing. Hearing you say “manifestation of darkness” when talking about James/Screech and knowing how Ren says he “melted into the black night”…You are good!

Have a little empathy for Violets mother. Yes, she didn't say anything , so she is culpable, but I am sure her husband was abusive to her long before he started on his daughter. She took refuge in alcohol and probably had the same character as her daughter and grand-daughter ie silent to abuse. The twins would have been taken into the care system which failed them, and alongside their genetics was a lethal combination. Speech thought Jenny was a lady, not a fourteen year old girl, because she had makeup ( rosy cheeks) and high heels etc. At 14 she had walked the floor 1000 times dressed like that so it is probable but not stated, that she was involved in prostitution from a very young age, which is very commonly the fate of girls in care in the UK.

at the start of Jenny tale Ren is beatboxing trumpet

Excellent reaction to Therapist Ren! (I'm glad you said that he's a therapist, because the effect his music has had on me has been very therapeutic.) I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks in a Jenny-and-Screech household, with two alcoholic parents who both died young or fairly young. Even though I'm a guy, my personality is more passive--so I ended up on the "victim" and co-dependent side of things, like Jenny and Violet. My bottled-up anger was directed mostly at myself in the form of depression and self-harm, though I later realized that it was also hurting other people in more indirect, passive-aggressive ways. Fortunately I was able to get therapy for a while and then continue that process as self-therapy, which I do to this day. Discovering Ren and his music (and listening to reactors like you) is an extension of that. My sister became a therapist later in life, and uses music therapy as one of her modalities. I started sharing Ren songs with her, which she has shared with some of her clients, including a woman with Lyme disease. I've seen reactions to the Trilogy many times, but you're the first one to mention some of the more subtle elements, like Screech sitting in the shadows and then descending down the stairs. Likewise, I see the spiral staircase in Violet's Tale as the metaphor for violence "spiraling out of control." Thank you for your reaction and analysis! Subbed! 🤠

Thank you for this great and important reaction. Ren is truly gifted at conveying devastating stories in a way that allows people to LIVE them, rather than being told about them. The impact is so much deeper! I have seen so many reactors vilify Screech, Stevie, and Violet’s parents. Yes, their actions are horrific, but it is hard to imagine that they came to be this abusive and neglectful any other way than by living through it themselves. Thank you for bringing more awareness to the way that this type of trauma branches out and touches so much more than most people may realize.

My favorite thing you said was "I don't know if Ren did it intentionally or not..." Ren does not take a breath in a video that isn't intentional. He is meticulous. The play on words of "violet" and "violence" comes up in a later Ren rap battle with King Dotta, which is totally worth your watch as it once and for all settles the question of who Ren is and why he is on this earth. (Sorry for the hyperbole; Ren inspires that in his fans!) Anyway, welcome to Ren's world. It is so rich psychologically -- not only his music but his life story, which continues to this day as he is literally right now starting a new chapter. Enjoy the rabbit hole.

Imagine the growing up of Violet's parents and grandparents as well. All of the issues so entertained with culture and ownership of family members. Even without such blatant abuse, everyone is victim to the culture of violence. Great analysis!❤

Awesome! Thanks! 🙏 😎🤟🎵

The publicity 'short' for the first of these "Instagram Stories: Screech" is available on Ren's YT channel, and is very worth a watch - giving context for the fictional Screech. The story is based on a real police involved shooting and the murder during a failed mugging of a prostitute by a 14 year old boy... The police spokesman relating the events kept repeating 'It's such a shame'... and that inspired this project from its insufficiency.

Been looking forward to this reaction for quite some time! Thank you ❤

My pleasure!! 😎🤟🎵

What a great reaction. And what brilliant storytelling, like (pain)ting pictures by Ren, which can inspire such a reaction. Celtic bard, combined with Shakespearean writing...

New subscriber, amazing reaction! 🙏❤ If you want to see a modern-day miracle, take a look at the comments sections on reactions to the Tales trilogy. Ren's music has manifested the Renegades, people around the world who have come together and formed safe, non-judgmental, spaces where people who have first-hand experience with the difficult topics Ren highlights so open and unflinchingly. The Tales are *so* very important because they force the viewer to understand the horrors and tragedy of this story. I've read so many accounts in these comment sections of people who feel "seen" again through the phenomenon of understanding and recognition the Tales create. I've seen the Renegades come together to give incredible, loving support to complete strangers, and in many cases have seen accounts of the healing people have experienced through the power of community by exposing these topics out into the glaring light for ALL of us to see.

Thank you 🙏❤ Jim ❤ for your 🐷 Ren - ❎❎🎸🎺🏥🔪 The Tale of Jenny and Screech reaction! #ren #taleofjennyandscreech #violetstale

This is one of the best reactions I've seen to this trilogy. To break down the character stories just from the music and your interpretation ❤ but also the reaction to the end

If you want a great insight to Screech and his life, please see Ren's depiction of it in 'Screech's Tale Instagram Stories' on his youtube. To promote the song/video being released he acted out Screech's life over a few days, showing how he is with friends, his home life, what drives him to what led to that night and meeting Jenny. Screech is desperate for love and attention but struggles desperately. Ren has done a fantastic job portraying this. We need him making films.

Really enjoyed this mate. Thanks for the reaction.

Jennyys tale was prompted by a newspaper story and people saying its such a shame then a few months later came Screeches tale then it was nearly 2 years later he released Violets tale tying it all together. Masterpiece. To me the very final shock is the realisation that Jenny is 14 too and walking the streets in high heels and all that implies.

Ren is one of the few artists I apply the term genius to, but I think it applies.

A wee part nobody ever seems to catch is why Screech's girlfriend and his best mate weren't available.... they were with each other.

Excellent reaction!!

Jenny is silent, like her mother and Screech is violent, like his father

I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction. Generational violence is true and lives in silence. Thanks for the analysis. Much love to you! ♥

People that stay in abusive relations keep hearing that voice in their head that says "If I'm just good, they'll stop". They blame themselves for their situation. They also think it will get better. I say this from experience...It will not get better. If they know they can get away with abusing you, they will never stop. Life is too short to go through it terrified. Get out. It will be painful, but not as painful as a broken bone.

Yes, talking about abuse is mandatory. So, please, please, analyse "Uninvited" by Ren, and break down the second level message in it.

History repeats itself the beginning is the end and the end is the beginning. Unfortunately this pattern happens more often than we like, although Jenny and James didn’t grow up with their birth parents many times in the foster/care system things are similar. We as society must do better. Your breakdown of Jenny’s journey in life is absolutely spot on. I think it’s very clever how Ren gave us the image that Jenny was a lady of the night without ever having to say it. May I also point out that knife crime in the UK is huge especially among teens and young adults. I would assume it’s similar to gun crime in America if they were to be compared. Violet’s tale is a hard listen but all too common and I’m sure in your profession you see many victims of situations just like this one. I don’t think I’ve seen you struggle to get through a reaction as much as you did with violet’s tale. I hope you are okay 🙂

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you’re here!

For me at the moment Ren is the best artist I know. I think you will love Ren - Domino's

I came across your channel just searching for Ren reactions and I’m glad I did. I’ve watched way too many ( maybe not lol ) reactions to this trilogy but you picked up on points nobody else I’ve seen has. Especially with the names like Violet and the trauma from generational abuse. Excellent reaction, I subscribed and hope to see you do more Ren.

Thanks for subscribing! More to come.

If this experience isn't heartwrenching to you, I don't want to know you. But the storytelling is next level. It's beautiful, and horrific, and tragic....it's Art.

Great reaction... it's clear that you have a lot of passion about what you do, and it is great to see. Your analysis was excellent all through the video.
