You can learn guitar, it's never too late. I took it up at 30 when there was no internet to find help, I took no lessons just got a couple of floppy books, best decision I made in my life. The hardest part is getting your fingertips hard, takes about two weeks of sore fingers.

i didn't hear you mention it, so I will.....This was done entirely LIVE....No pre-recorded track and lip-syncing here. Ren is in an entirely different league than most. I see people recommending "Hunger" and "Bittersweet Symphony", and they're good. But to me, Ren's Live stuff is where he really shines. Ren was also in a band, "The Big Push" for you to check out,.....he does a hell of a cover of Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff". They also do a cover of Bongo Bong that's really awesome.

I’m so glad I went through the comments to see this!! I’ve only been listening to Ren for a week and know very little. No words exist to describe how his music makes me feel. I have 3 incurable autoimmune diseases that can affect my mental health. I am so glad I gave Ren a listen. Cliff Beats page does a great job of reacting to him (and other artists) and he always wants to know more and more about the artists so if you haven’t checked his page out too, I’m sure he’d appreciate it. NOT trying to lead people away from this channel, I subscribed in the first few seconds of the first video but if you are like me, I watch a couple reactions per song because sometimes others have different ideas regarding bars or may not realize some of the entendres
Sick Boi, Hunger - Bars Chalk Outlines- Vocal ability, lyrical depth The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full Trilogy) - Storytelling, guitar skills, bars, singing, emotion. It has everything. Dude IS a genius
You wanna see Ren rap? LOSING IT THE HUNGER He is amazing Wanna see him sing? CHALK OUTLINES DIAZEPAM HOW TO BE ME Ren is phenomenal, there are so many layers in the art that this man of concentrated talents creates. Rens rabbit hole is deep and definitely worth diving into. Enjoy!

The genius of Ren's lyrics, is that whether you've suffered with mental health 🤚🙋♀️ or not, we ALL have an inner dialogue whether we admit it or not; not all as extreme, but the extremes are covered so beautifully in this song that I feel it has literally gathered together strangers across the world to Stand like Ren - "on their own two feet" - & fight the battle through Rest (which is actually a Biblical principle). And I am so grateful & impressed that whether Ren intended to do that or just share his struggle with the world as conquering a hurdle to his peace; that there is Heart enough out there for this "space" to be created, that is literally proving to transcend time & space thanks to the internet - at least the internet is good for Something! Claiming the struggle as our own is when we consciously work at Trying Hard to get ourselves out of the hole and end up only finding more reason to stay down there. And just like ceasing to struggle in the ocean... when we learn to Rest in life, we allow ourselves to rise to the surface, take some fresh air into our lungs & have more likelihood of rescue. And right now, this piece of art has offered a global platform for healing & unity which is what the world's been crying out for, for eons. Not to mention that his style seems to be touching on all genres, even taking us back in time to minstrel days - your next port of call should definitely be, The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full) - it will blow your mind! much love & prosperity on your personal journey...
The dark side kills it. Just like it will in your head. At the end of day, and the song, the bright side is better. This whole song is an incredible metaphor both musically and lyrically. Truly a masterpiece!
Chalk outlines will show ya his singing and lyrical ability. It’s a mental health song I think you will appreciate. He does it live with chinchilla. Beautiful
Ooooo you gonna love Ren ❤️ 😍 and there's 10yrs+ of omg amazing. Oh and there is no box or lane that could ever contain this mans talent lol!! Much love and mad respect ❤️❤️
Your perception of the variety of artistic qualities of this piece on a first run through was amazing. So much to absorb. I've watched dozens of reactions and you picked up on so many things others missed, like the diffence in lyrical style and complexity between voices. Great reaction!

Not only did it makes sense , it’s on all levels. This song, in your mind , in other people, the dark side is always louder and more tempting
Ren is such a talent, this was done live and even more amazing it was done in one take, which for me is True art as it comes from the soul. You'll get a lot of requests for the sick boi and the tale of Jenny & Screech. But the song 'do you believe' is stunning and should also get the exposure it deserves! for me it's some of his finest work.
“Hunger” or “Genesis” are a few of his where he rap raps
He as the dark part is more lyrical and "cool" because bad things disguise themselves to lure.. in my mind anyway 🤷🏻♀️
Good reaction but can I give you a tip? Try using the space bar and left and right arrows for pause and play and back and forwards 5 seconds, respectively. It's less annoying than the mouse.
Legit my favorite react video. I watch "HI REN" often, and at times I feel like reaction videos validate my emotions, so I prefer them. That being said, a large percentage of these react videos seem to be people who have watched it already and then went on to create illegitimate react videos. It's abundantly obvious that nearly all react videos are not genuine, which is frustrating. Having gone over all of this, I don't care if you legitimately reacted to this video, or you are acting, because I believe you and that makes it real to me. Keep doing you, because you're authentic and interesting.

Great reaction! Some of Ren's great rap songs include Sick Boi, The Hunger, and Power. The Tale of Jenny and Screetch is rap in story telling and Chalk Outlines is just a beautiful song
I found his voice to be soothing as well and the song overall is very profound. Oh and the most mind blowing part of you didn't already know is he played this song live recording the video which he is taking his mic off in the last few seconds of the video.

Great reaction.
1:48 great spotted, it`s not a wheelchair, it`s a chair with wheels, not for a person to move himself around in, but a chair for moving patience around like furniture.
I find it so interesting that the initial melody feels cheesy then when it’s repeated at the end it feels so strong and empowering. I love this artistic expression.
So glad you did this. I JUST found this man and I'm obsessed! Feels like a much less comedic Bo Burnham, which I say with upmost respect cause Bo is a god damn genius. Can't wait to see more stuff from Ren.
I love watching people react to this video because a reaction video of is how I found this totally independent artist. Nominated this song in four categories in Prague music awards. This sharing is how he's being discovered. Thanks for finding and sharing this artist who does have an amazing story. This is such a relatable song where ever you are in life.
Beautiful reaction- thank you for being vulnerable and sharing. ❤
Really enjoyed your discussion of this mate.
Really enjoyed your reaction, new subscriber....loved your open commentary!
I love to see these reactions. Depending on where you sit personally, you see the need for either the _check yourself_ voice or the _I’m the best_ voice. He did such an amazing job of capturing the human condition that everyone can find something to relate to. That is some genius art.
I also have anxiety and panic disorder. It is physically debilitating and so overwhelming at times. I hope you have some good coping tools and you are able to enjoy the times when your brain gives you a break friend. Great reaction. I love REN’s art. Going to check out your original stuff now ❤
You're so right, his dark side is more articulate, which demonstrates his experience.
Ren = True art. Outstanding 🔥👌💚
Great reaction! Thanks for doing this!
I love how the light side starts out tentatively afraid of the dark. Then more insistent Then baited by the dark side and arguing defensively and unsure of himself And finally self assured.
Brilliant review...... thanks for checking out Ren....
Great reaction. Keepin it real bro
I think you would really enjoy his trilogy also done live like most of his videos and it really shows his musical ability as well as his acting talent. The trilogy can be found on his site here on KZread either as three individual items or as one piece if you search for the full version of the tale of Jenny and Screech.

Great breakdown man. I liked how you connected his rhythmic ability to the dark side, and the real side to the light. That’s essentially the point I think… so, subbed! Great job friend.

THANKS FOR BEING U ! WE ALL HAVE A PART OF "REN, SO...
If you want to hear him rap, I suggest The Hunger or Sick Boi. If you want to hear him sing, check out Chalk Outlines. If you want to hear his musical story telling, check out his Jenny and Screech trilogy: Jenny's Tale, The Tale of Jenny and Screech, Violet's Tale (in that order). Dude is just a phenomenal talent all around. I haven't seen a video of his that didn't blow my mind at least a little bit. (Content Warning: Too much Ren may have the unintended consequence of making other musicians feel inadequate. Watch at your own risk.)

Interesting you a 1990 child like me 😁 goatie tash like me talk like me.... Mite just be the next best me but not quit me 😂 seriously though. This song is magic. Legit magic. Your reafirmation of what people are saying about him is literally why i keep looking at how people react to him. He got the issues and problems we all want to know that others connect with and were not alone in that vein. He seems humbled from what the public eye gets of him and is a honnest open book. This lad could easily dominate if people endorsed him that little bit more and choose to openly accept the prescence of mental health that little bit more 😊
as Em once said “let me simplify the rhyme just to amplify the noise.” the important and uplifting parts are slower and more clear, because they are what we need to hear most 💜

The Hunger has Ren in beastmode
Just a side note about learning guitar...Dirty little secret, it's easy to learn to play guitar to be able to sing along with accompaniment, not difficult to learn to play the guitar competently, somewhat harder to play as well as Ren, and impossible to master. Pick a level, practice for a bit every day, and put it down when it ain't fun. Good luck either way... Oh and a really well done reaction to a beautiful performance that is bringing us all a little closer.
This is live with 3 cameras. They did several takes to get the take. So the edited 3 three cameras film- from the take.
Chalk outlines with Chinchilla is brilliant, she is a perfect singer for Ren.
Ren also films his videos in a single take.
I would add money game to the recommendations. Get ready for mad rap bro. He is a genius.
