This is the kind of artistry that gives "broken" people hope. Ren, through this performance piece, has become to a lot of people exactly what he stated in the song, "...the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope". So powerful, so impactful. The song structure itself is incredible. It starts off as a battle between his positive (Angel) and negative (Demon) aspects, the negative then makes an overpowering last ditch effort to reign supreme, tearing free and trying to take control, but ultimately fails as the final act, being the "God" aspect, emerges Triumphant, though still acknowledging and accepting that it will ALWAYS be a battle because we are all "a coin with 2 different sides". It's a beautifully cathartic and raw musical masterpiece. Ren is truly special. Welcome to the Ren rabbit-hole, it's a trip worth taking. This was the 4th take he did and yes, it was done live. Wait until you hear some of his other stuff, especially his storytelling ("The Tale of Jenny & Screech"). You haven't even touched the breadth of this young man's talent yet. The pig character (imo) represents the doctors and therapist who have essentially butchered him for years through their misdiagnosis. It's the system that focuses on peddling more pills than on genuinely trying to help to fix broken/ill people, caring more about profit than individual health. The bastardization of the hippocratic oath. He literally thought he was going insane because he was told repeatedly that the pain and symptoms he was experiencing were all in his head (psychosomatic). Turns out he had Lyme's disease the whole time and it ran rampant through his system for 10 years, even to the point of causing brain damage. Ironically, if Ren hadn't gone through what he has, would he have ever made the art he has? There's no question that his suffering has shaped his music and now he's finally getting the recognition he undoubtedly deserves. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Ren is special.

Your interpretation of the pig mask character makes a lot of sense, especially after watching Sick Boi. It’s terrible what he had to go through 😿 But what a gift and a blessing to all of us that he was able to channel it into something so powerful. I also like that Ren is trying to increase awareness of Lyme disease. More resources need to be devoted to improve diagnosis and treatment.

Your Ren journey has only just begun, enjoy!

TRUTH!! Ren is all genre's in one (popularly played types).

My favourite occupation at the moment is watching people react to Hi Ren for the first time. What joy! I don't know if it has been pointed out in any of the comments below but this was live and done in one take

Audio was recorded live but it's not a one-take video though. Samuel Perry-Falvey who filmed it, clarifies that in the comments of Jonathan Hiller's (Filmmaker Reacts) reaction to Hi Ren.

This is THE MOST BRILLIANT performance I've EVER seen!

This is performance art in its finest! Crazy that he performed this live. You should also check out the Tales of Jenny and Screech (full trilogy version). It’s unreal.

yes! It's like both parts of himself reconcile, merge , accept one another. We are all a coin with 2 different sides. Nice reaction man!

I think your analysis is spot on. The two sides integrate at the end; you have to live with both, and he's working out how to do just that. Love your reactions! The Tale of Jenny and Screech should definitely be next for you!

Never been took aback to a performance what a shock in the best way. Great story teller love the guitar playing. 👏👌🇬🇧

Hey man Ren is in your neck of the woods right now getting specialized treatment for lyme's disease

Yes, Ren mentioned in the Justin Hawkins vid recently that he had two lessons - but is mostly self taught - using youtube videos.

Welcome to Ren!!

Love your reaction, please keep going with Ren you will be amazed every time. ❤

Ren is such a gift. Looking forward to your next reactions to his music.

Ren calls his style "BARDcore".... & the more you hear, the more you'll feel why. He has an epic digital-based fan base with flocks of love & support. (I wonder if $ony hates their choice yet?🤔). Welcome Sir... to oUR RenAISSANCE.

I have no words for this performance, so I will paraphrase Ren's own.....it cremated my brain. Enjoyed your reaction, I really like reactions from people with knowledge of the musicality and vocal talent required as they can best describe what we all are witnessing..

Both energies coming together is absolutely correct! Not many pick up on that 👌🤌👏

Thanks for the reaction to Ren. He is changing lives globally through honesty, talent and clarity of the issues he broaches.

Hey! I’m late to the party for your Ren reactions but have come to the beginning to give you a bumpity bump. He really is incredible! My fave artist of all time! 🖤

Perfect reaction to this amazing performance.

You definitely need to check Jenny, screech and Violets tale next buddy the full video of the 3 songs it is ridiculously good🙏🏽❤️

So happy you've found Ren! Really looking forward to your insightful analysis in the Ren arena!! Awesome, awesome, awesome! |-/🤍💛🤍

I've been down the rabbit hole with such amazing results, the guy is soo likeable and a musical genius, he was lead singer with the big push ... go down that rabbit hole, and chinchillas' music is simply amazing too, love your reactions ❤

This guy is unique in the best way. Just watched your reaction to Mackay yesterday and now this. I can’t figure out what to expect next but enjoying this rabbit hole so far. Thanks for starting this journey

@@Beldvlmnt Sick Boi and Chalk Outlines follows this in terms of the health journey aspect, but I think jumping to Tale of Jenny & Screetch (full trilogy version) follows this well in terms of watching Ren as a storyteller. It’s not as intricate as the TØP lore where you would be lost. I see the Tale of Jenny & Screetch as a standalone 3-part play/performance art. It’s powerful. Even the way it was filmed is stunning.

This showed up late for me, but welcome to Ren. Can’t wait to see other reactions to his music. ❤ That face you made near the end is ALL OF US. you’re officially a RENagade.

This was such fun to watch! It’s a joy to witness a lover of music find a rare gem.

Great reaction! So much Ren to explore. For rap.. check out his latest (Illest of our time).. or for storytelling, check out The Tale of Jenny & Screech (full).

if you get to watch "money game part 2" you will see why dark Ren referenced she sells sea shells on the sea shore. another good reaction man 👍

My man Ren. Lost in the glow ,Ren.❤

I noticed that his father does the same finger picking ❤ Martin Gill

Ren comes from a family of musicians and they likely taught him as opposed to being self taught. That said, the overly aggressive finger picking at the beginning was intentional as a representation of the "negative Ren". You'll find that very little with Ren is not very well thought out.

I'm surprised you're not familiar with the "fourth wall" term. It's that imaginary wall separating performers/artists from the audience. In the Dead Pool movies, Dead Pool breaks the fourth wall often when he talks directly with us (the audience). Ferris Bueller famously did this back in the 1980's.
