Ren is self taught. He recently said that he doesn’t know the (musical) rules and therefore isn’t constrained by them ( paraphrased)

You spotted Ren's use of the built environment to master the sound production in the use of natural reverb. You perfectly realized it is a Three Act Shakespearian tragedy. Ren has self identified his style as Bardcore. He is promoting a 2nd renaissance of the role of the bard/wondering minstrel by merging rap, hip hop and baroque folk.

And boy does it work!

Ren said on a livestream recently that the total budget for the third video (Violet's tale) was just $500. The hospital bed was a child's bed with no legs, so they had to shoot it from just the right angle so it didn't look too off. BTW, as for your "formula" notion (fair point), only 2 of his 50-odd songs to date are like Hi Ren and the Tales trilogy ("bardcore" genre). Everything else is way different. Cheers! Oh, if you want to hear him singing more do How to be me live or Chalk Outlines live, both with Chinchilla. Both are incredible. Make sure you get the live ones. Thanks!

I mean, initially, it's 4, not 2 as the tales series are 3 songs, plus Hi Ren. And i wouldn't even class Hi Ren as Bardcore anyway. But way more songs can be classed as Bardcore. I'm not going to list them all because there's a lot. Think about his songs. It's not just the Tales and Hi Ren that are Bardcore. And again, if you class Hi Ren as Bardcore (which i do not, at all) then you have to include a hell of a lot more. Not hating. Just giving my opinion.

Bardcore is a made-up term and therefore everyone's definition will likely be different. It's not a word that Ren even uses or endorses. I am 100% correct by my definition - broadly, a person with an acoustic guitar conveying a dramatic, detailed, longform story with challenging content - and I am sure you are 100% correct by yours, too.@@SR1Records

That performance pierces my heart. Ren and Chinchilla are riveting as a duet. They look into each other's soul and connect. Electric.

22:07 it's not the devil's theme (though that's a cool take) - at the start of Violet's Tale he says we must rewind the hands of time and then he plays a little "rewind" sound on his guitar. This part is the opposite of the rewind, taking us back to present day.

These dudes are really two sides of the same coin. Classic vs. self-taught, but they get each other. I hope no one takes offense to this, but they are both so far outside the average listener they see and get things the rest of us just miss. A brilliant reaction. He sees the opera and theatrical connections. LOVE THIS DUDE!!

GREAT REACTION... you guys got a new sub! FYI: Violet's Tale freezes up on the music video until the KNOCK, but the music & reaction video shot is fine, which is the important part. I think that people that follow reactions will know exactly what's going on up to that point. I'm curious what happened right before the full reveal, it looked like it clicked right then, but there's a cut at that point. Just a suggestion: usually something much lighter is recommended after the Tales, a big favorite is Ren busking with his band The Big Push, particularly the mashup "I Shot the Sheriff / Road to Zion / Hip Hop" (look for the version with the RED SUSPENDERS).

Fear like liquid nitrogen (granted, _aaalmost_ cliché but I think there's still a few uses allowed), The statue she was turned to butter (call-back to 'like a knife through butter') in a breath... just brilliant and let's not forget the intelligence of concealing the plural "babies" by having homonymous lyrics "please let my baby stay alive" so he keeps the secret till the very end.

Definitely, but he also walks past a satanic symbol (brimstone) while playing that part

Roaming Minstrels have always been a part of blighty's history and colour, lush that Ren gives a nod to this rich tradition of these fair isles but adds the juxtaposition of modern day brutality. The strongest message I get from this is the line "history repeats itself he paints her black and blue and dark, she never stood a chance". The fact that Screech turns out like his father Stevie one presumes (even though he never met the guy) and Jenny like her mother, a victim. We see this in every aspect of our lives, particularly when it comes to physical abuse and social settings (a big city with no consciousness or empathy). The chords going up the fret to my mind, is Ren fast forwarding through time. He goes from Violet being beaten up to forwarding the time to when she is in the hospital? I might be clutching but thanks for the reaction mate, the dogs bollocks.

Yes. It's a Trilogy. A Three Part Play. This is Modern Street Theatre called BARDCORE, ( Ren Style) where he mixes some medieval Bard Street Minstrel approaches and melodies with contemporary spoken word poetry, narration, song and patches of Rap. With a musical 'intro' and 'outro' to each. You're right; he and his Videographer carefully planned out the setting and rehearsed how and when to move and where within the flow of the performance, making deliberate use of the available acoustics. Clever and creative.

Great reaction! If you want to check out a song with stunning vocals from Ren I’d recommend Chalk Outlines.

Jenny is like her mother Violet; quiet, shy, and freezes in fear. Screech is like his father Stevie; angry, reactive, and violent.

Meet Ren Night Shyamalan!!! And I give major PROPS to his videographer, Sam. Together they are modern magic. I subbed up the minute Judson did his 'rewind sound' at the very beginning.

Northwestern Wisconsin here. About 60 miles Northeast of that shithole the twin cities, Mnpls/St.Paul MN. I love me some Ren, he is all I listen to along with his band The Big Push and Chinchilla.

Absolutely spot on about the Performance Art, this blurs the lines between many genres....Music, Poetry, Story Telling, Acting.....The only thing that is missing is seeing Ren pick up a Spray can and Graffiti the walls :) If you gonna be a reaction channel, then you shouldn't cut the reaction. The Big reveal at the end of the song is the reaction that many would watch this for.

You’re right Ren does like doing his videos live. They got Hi Ren in four attempts. He said it’s not always like that, on Money Game 1 they worked through the night til 6 in the morning. It took 182 attempts to get a single take video because there is so much movement in that scene which made the choreography very difficult.

I loved your piano work at the beginning so I subscribed within the first 90 seconds.

What a perspective - a much appreciated, classy reaction - just subscribed, thank you☮

If he likes the singing I would suggest one of two live duets Ren does with chinchilla. The first is called “chalk outlines” (live) and the second (my fave) is “how to be me” (live). The vocals in both are extraordinary and both are moving emotionally

Ren is Iconic

Damned. I was so hoping for a more visceral reaction to THAT moment, when it all sinks in and you GET it.

Love your ren reactions so I subbed

This is an important and educating story, told with so much respect and love for everyone involved in this tragedy, about generational trauma which refers to trauma that is passed from a trauma survivor to their descendants and he points out many of the markers that characterise the phenomenon. It sadly happens every day and it brings so much trauma to so many people.

Nice piano piece at the beginning! Thx for the reaction!

Ren - For Joe (Live Performance) I think this one will be sincerely appreciated from a fellow piano playing perspective and emotionally fueled written one as well ♥️ It’s about Ren’s best friend whom he lost to suicide and I’ll leave it at that as it’s best to just experience the ride of the music and feeling itself rather than a vivid description of words. I missed you guys and was rewatching your other videos on repeat impatiently awaiting a new upload ♥️ The longer I see the length of the video the more I honestly get excited as well 😊 Looking forward to your daily and further success as a channel, as always 🎼 🤘🏻🎹 I have to add, “The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop” from Ren and his band. It’s at almost 10 million views as we speak! The musicality, energy and passion of Ren and his band is such a refreshing rush 🎸 See you guys in the next one! - Cassie

I love your Ren reactions. Earned a sub with this one 💖

I'm not sure I'd recommend it as the VERY NEXT Ren song to take on because there are others that are more... idk, prominently important? songs in his catalogue - BUT: Do NOT sleep on Swan Song, which was from The Big Push days. It doesn't see much light of day, but it would be SO worthwhile for you two to react to. It's like nothing else you'll see Ren involved with (so far, anyway).

“Tapping that tale.” Big respect😃😎👍

High time now for Ren to write the "TAIL" of Jenny and Sreech...I'm down for that 'Lizard People Trilogy' 🤣

"Tapping that Tale" ❤ Your reactions to this trilogy was a joy to experience. For singing: may I suggest hmmmm.... "Freckled Angel", "Hold on" , "For Joe", "Lost All Faith"

Loved your perspective on this. It feels like a play to me too, all the characters are conveyed so vibrantly.

Love the reaction ❤

I was waiting for this reaction!

There are so many songs where Ren sings. I don't know what types of music you guys like, but there are many live busking sessions available with Ren's band "The Big Push"; including covers of Reggae or Rap songs. Also busking and live sessions available with Ren's Sam Thompson, (search Ren and Sam). Also, singing collaborations with Chinchilla, and with Eden Nash.

Enjoyed this reaction!

🥳 so glad you got to the ‘tales’ guys 👏 it was nice that Judson recognised the waltz in Screech’s tale. If Judson would like to her more of REN singing please try listening to Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla (live) or How To Be Me with with Chinchilla (live) again, or even Suicide or For Joe are well worth listening to for some singing. Stay well fellas 🤍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌️ Raine

Great reaction to Ren's Bardcore trilogy - sad story about all day violence and abuse, told and played masterful in a shakespearian way... I agree, his singing is so touching, vulnerable and always in character, even as a narrater. How he uses (and planned) the different reverse of the rooms and streets is breathtaking - the one in the staircase gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it - so beautiful and sad at the same time. 🥹 Not to mention how he turned the awful battering of the pregnant Violet into music...a heartbreaking monument against domestic violence. Ren's talent is another level!

Ren has decades of solo stuff, and his various collaborations with Chinchilla, Sam Tompkins, Eden Nash, Bibi, Liv Sanger, and The Big Push are all awesome. Have fun down the rabbit hole, there's lots to explore!

Loved the reaction! Y'all have quickly become one of my new fave channels. It sounds like y'all may be somewhere in the South...I'm in Alabama. Ren is amazing for sure. So much great music to explore with him! He's extremely versatile. I'm sure plenty have already told you everything about Ren so I won't be redundant. Side note - with Judson's classical background, I think I have a band he may really enjoy, and you too! The band is Nightwish. They are a Symphonic Metal band out of Finland with a Dutch lead vocalist (who is also a classically trained singer). They do sing in English, so no worries about any language barrier for lyrics. They have a huge catalog of music y'all can explore too! Live performances are what you want to do with Nightwish. They have very few official videos. Though, they do have some amazing lyric videos out for every track on their most recent album. They've been around since 1996, and are currently working on a new album. The song of theirs I'd like to suggest first is Ghost Love Score Live from Wacken 2013. I think y'all will really enjoy them! Thanks for sharing y'alls thoughts with us! I'm here for the musical journeys! Blessings to both of you guys from Bama!

This was great guys. It makes me so happy to see a couple of guys just start something like this from scratch. I know that if you keep at it, it will grow big. A few notes - Ren really nailed this "bardcore" type of storytelling song. And he is in the process of pitching a whole series of these to Netflix. Mic technique - these were all shot live with sound. Guitar is plugged in. He wears a lapel mic, but also has other mics hidden somewhere. Maybe a shotgun (directional) somewhere? But he has said that he's keeping the full setup a secret and not giving up his "tricks of the trade" One other thing I haven't seen anyone mention here is that he goes out of his way to support YT reactors. And has put it out there that if you end up getting a copyright strike on ANY of his videos, to make sure and dispute it and he will make sure it gets cleared so you can make a profit on them. Best wishes💚 You should do "Chalk Outlines", "How to be Me", or "I shot the Sherriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop" mash up next. The one where he's wearing the red suspenders as others have pointed out.

Love your energy

Loving these reactions ❤ love the honesty and unique perspective. Maybe Ocean next either that or How to be me with Chinchilla.❤

This man is different...

There’s not a ton of foreshadowing, because they were written years apart and weren’t planned out as far as I know. So he wrote the tale of Screech without even knowing he’d write the other two Still, does some cool things with the writing. In Screech at the beginning, “she was headed back home to sleep”, and she knew this town she knew this floor…she wanted to escape” and at the end “Jenny lay still on the cold concrete, she found somewhere to sleep, she knew this town she knew this floor…I guess that she escaped” Another one, as you pointed out, in Jenny’s Tale “young Screech and poor Jenny lying one street apart” paralleling the line in Violet’s Tale “two twins aligned side by side” Other ones include Jenny inheriting, for lack of a better word, Violet’s tendency to freeze up when encountering a threat, and Screech inheriting his fathers and grandfathers abusive nature. It’s at least in a part a song about the cyclical nature of life, and how to some degree how one is dealt a fate through inheriting certain characteristics and generational trauma. As he says in Violet’s Tale, “history repeats itself” And in the spirit of that cyclicality(?) I’d like to return to the first thing I said, and mention a potential foreshadowing I thought of for the first time while writing this. In Screech’s Tale “our story it ends, right at the start” (mirroring the first line of the song, forgot to mention that one but anyways)…”our story it ends, right at the start”, sort of foreshadowing this element of fate. As in they were fated to meet this end from the very start, being born to a dying mother and placed into the foster system, destined to meet again at the end of their tales. Anyways, great reaction, low key one of my favorite reactors so far, and apologies for such a long comment

Followed by I Shot the Sheriff with Ren's band The Big Push (specifically the performance with Ren in red suspenders busking), Murderer (original and acoustic), The Hunger, and Money Game (Part 1 & 2...part 3 to be released Oct). 🎶

I love this guy

the 'devil sound' that he did was the time forwarding, since we moved back in time to hear violets story ^^

Nice reaction.....he was winding time back forward in that guitar riff that you said he was playing like it was the devil as in "hi ren".

I get the feeling that he did not want to like it. But as he talked he could not say to much bad. I hope he just chills and takes in the many levels of talent.

I live this guy. He is not the Standard (for lack of better word) reactor. I’d love to meet him as he seems very straight laced but has a sleeve of tattoos. Very interesting! Keep them coming.

wish I could play piano like you!

Two new vocabulary words : "Tavernwave" and "Bardcore"

Ren the Bard of Brighton is a wonderful rabbit hole.

Chalk outlines live with chinchilla. Is great singing performance

You're the first person to make the point to say his guitar and singing in the Tale of Screech at the start was like an Italian waltz. He even does the poor me Italian wail at the end of the verse "This Screech, dear boy, wheeere did he go?"

Sometimes he uses the guitar notes as a sound effect in Violet he does rewind at the start and fast forward after Stevie beat Violet to signify a return to the point in the story at which the song starts. Not so much the devil as fast forward and rewind but he does use deminished tones for the devil side in Hi Ren so your corelation is correct.
