As soon as he mentioned the Ren rabbithole, I knew I had to subscribe. It's wild being addicted to watching other people discover Ren for the first time.
Also voting for "Losing It" to be the next one! It's Ren going ham, rapping his ass off over the EDM track Losing It by the Australian producer Fisher. Great Fun!
@Benholio1 Although weirdly, many miss the forward wind later on. I think because the rewind is after the 'we must rewind the hands of time...' line, whereas the forward wind has no lyrical cue to go with it.
I love your excitement and appreciation. Yes, he really does THAT. 🙂 Each and every time. Creativity on 10. I am SO happy to be here for your journey and to watch you GROW. Nearly 900 sub's today. Woo hoo. You have one AMAZING day.
Great reaction🤯, of all the reactions in last year+ only the second to come close to getting the tie back from 2019 Jenny & Schreech to 2005 Violet (14 years). A bardcore masterpiece from the master...
You’re right. I think Ren is Screetch in another universe. I really liked how you didn’t immediately think of Screech as ‘evil’ (just “a victim of circumstance“) shows what kind of a guy you are. Enjoyed your reaction. Thanks ❤
I'm enjoying your journey. Liked and subbed for it. Trust that he does lots of fun upbeat stuff too. He is REALLY smart and outrageously funny. You could spend a year down here and not get bored. Or at least I seem to have misplaced a year around here somewhere. Time well spent.
Watch money game 1,2 and 3....its not as traumatic but definitely a shared experience....or you could go for 'seven sins' or 'suicide'...if you prefer more rapping then 'illest of our time' or 'murderer'. Theres is also 'chalk outlines' for a vocal singing collab. Rens a chameleon....very good at many things so the taste is pretty diverse.
8:30 Ren is acting out the part of Screech calling his girlfriend. She refuses to let him come over. Maybe that has something to do with Patrick not being home... 😉
The riff you felt was you going down the Ren rabbit hole, is actually the reverse of the 'rewind' you heard earlier. After the rewind to tell the story of how Violet got to the stage of 'rhythmic beeps and boodstained sheets' at the hospital, he forward winds back to Violet in the hospital. It's a very clever bit of musical arrangement that is sadly missed by many.
Breathing is recommended. Even if it’s difficult to remember sometimes when listening to this time travelling genius 😂 Ren is a modern day bard painting such vivid imagery with his storytelling that it pulls you in and forces you to keep watching - even when it gets physically uncomfortable during Violet’s Tale. And Ren uses this ability to shed light on far too real issues in the world. Ren is special.
"He is fingering the shit out of that guitar" brilliant 😂 subbed! First reaction of yours ive seen..ill check out some more. Welcome to the team Renegade ✊
Hey from the UK 😁been loving your reactions... Ren touches across all ages and backgrounds. A light for the lost and a mouthpiece for the silent. Needed more than ever. I love how he reaches people and helps them without ever knowing. Bless this guy ❤️❤️❤️
OMG wow i had to pause it at the part ya said "I have to remember to breathe cuz yea i was not breathing either & also was as shocked as you bout EVERYthing like OMG THE **Creativity** the **Uniqueness** of it ALL just **Blows My Mind** & i was not breathing either watching THIS reaction ahaha i am so very much luvin watchin these with YOU Thank YOU ever so! YOUR reactions are so freakin awesome & it makes me feel like i am watching them for the 1st time that is great!
Another great one is Ren's retake of "Back On 74/Message In A Bottle" with backup singers. And busking with Chinchilla performing "One Dance/Drunken Love"! Don’t forgot to check out "The Hunger" to see him rap, rap and "I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip Hop" (busking in red suspenders)
If you’re looking for singing, chalk outlines, how to be me, Fred again mashup, back on 74… looking for rap, the hunger, genesis, wicked ways, there’s a ton of them (all great) If you want to hear him rapping about his story of illness. “Troubles” but you have to do both the recorded and live acoustic version
Here for it…. You are the first person to kinda guess (even though you were like throwing that comment away…. You were on it) the twist before it got there that I’ve seen on a reaction video…. (STANDING UP, CLAPPING). LOVED IT!
This was my very first track I ever saw of REN’s and I fell in love with because I really enjoy theater and can you describe this as anything better pure musical theater? Glad you enjoyed it as well
I never get tired of watching people’s faces as they’re trying to figure things out 😁the funny thing is, Ren’s songs get better and better and deeper and deeper the more reactors add their interpretations and ideas. Thanks so much! Can’t wait to see more❤
@mrsapplegate while he was close, I’ve seen one reactor guess the twist in the middle of violets tale, and a couple others right before the reveal. So fun to watch regardless of when it hits them. ❤
It is always so much fun to see the expressions on the faces of people hearing this for the first time. Ren never fails to amaze! So happy to welcome you down the rabbit hole! Ren is a multi genre artist, often performing live (as in this one). He sings, raps, plays guitar, bass, and piano. He has won awards, with his friend, Samuel Perry-Falvey, for directing his videos. He writes, records, and mixes his own music, in most cases. Enjoy!
Next up, something more fun and lighthearted! I like Murderer, both the official music video and the live acoustic, both in one video, but Losing It is also a lot of fun. My favorite fun Ren songs have got to be his Love Music series of four, which you should definitely get to! (When you do, maybe 1 & 2 in one reaction video, 3 & 4? I get so excited for the next one, I hate having to wait for it!) (But you do it the way you like best, I'll be here!)
Great reaction! If you are anything like the average Renegade, you will soon have memorised every single word too! Welcome to our Renegade community my friend! Ps Hope you have a great Christmas,and best wishes for both the New Year and your channel ❤
Was so excited when this came up! 🔥 Loving your reactions & new sub for SURE!🎉🎉 Sidenote: i see you have the book House of Leaves!🤩 there is an artist (author's sister) called Poe with an album called Haunted that accompanied the book!😉 It's amazing! I agree with my fellow Renegades that it's time for you to hit some fun Ren next...😊 no matter what, you'll always be blown away!
Nice reaction. The rift were you said you were falling down the rabbit hole is the reversing time rift he plays at the beginning but played forwards to bring it back to the present. Guy's a genius. Maybe try something a bit lighter like Losing it or Power
Ahh, I forgot: He did the trilogy as a life performance on the streets of Brighton as well: The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full 360 Live Performance). Crazy event 😀 And you can find lots of locations (including those for the tales) in Brighton where Ren shot videos on a Google Maps project called "Ren's Brighton". Check out the Rencyclopedia to find it.
Seven Sins (Lyric video not the one with just music) , Troubles (2 versions Official and acoustic), Lost All Faith, all 4 Love Music (2 are music only, 2 are lyric videos), the video Patience is a must. I love both the live and official videos. The live one is heart wrenching both excellent. Some reactors have 60 to 80 Ren reactions - good luck!
Great reaction!❤❤❤ subbed and ready for more Renny boi. Check out his 8 chapters to learn more about Rens journey and watch his 1 million subscriber video to learn about his vision for the future. Much love once again from a New Zealand RENegade.❤️🐷🐰
Thanks for recording your reaction I love watching people discover for the first time. We can’t do it again which is why yours reflects the original thrill 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤣😂🤣🫶🏻
Sorry last comment i swear. I think before moving on in his music you should react to his 1 million subscriber defini g success video that way you will go on with the context f the person Ren is. Ren has such deep meaning in most of his work 97 percent. Its about humanity in the world greed and also his sickness but he often goes from his personal experience and than has a way of broadening it out to us as humanity how we live our world. Rens music is awesome for ppl who like his beats his lyricism etc and its life changing for people who absorb the things he actually saying on a deeper context of the words idk it might just be only my perception I am a girl from North Dakota lol. Losing it is fun its definitely not a deep song lol its very pop culture. My favorite song by Ren that tou hes my soul is his Fred Again Mashup. Omg beautiful. My other favorite song by Ren is his song called Crucify your Culture. 🎉 Im probably the odd one out on requests lol i really think some of his best work is looked past easily because some is older and ppl generally hear his newer stuff and request that. But he has some Gems.
Bro you are flying through the subs!! Glad to see it man keep it up. actually inspiring to watch you grow like this. :D 1 week ago I was saying congrats on 100 subs so your killin it.. Road to 1k even though it seems to be short! :D
you see why we told you to do all three. good reaction. that moment you realize how deep the tragedy is. try money game if you want more like this or try losing it if you need something lite.
Understandably you want to carry on with the genius of Ren but, if you want to vary it a little and attract other groups of followers, try “Ghost Love Score” by Nightwish (live at Wacken), “Pisces” by Jinjer (Studio live), “Evolve” by The Warning (live at the MTV awards), “”Murder Song 54321” by Aurora (live at the Nobel Prize Concert) or “Don’t” Lose Sight” by Lawrence (Accoustic-ish). All of these are exceptional performances.
New sub. There are more like that. But there’s also crazy good raps, fun, raunchy and intense tunes as well. He collabs with some great people and has a great busking catalogue with his band The Big Push. He plays multiple instruments. His voice is bonkers with range. Some of his stuff will have you on the floor in tears. Don’t worry. All reactors go there and the Renegades are a connective and forgiving group. Here are some quick options: Rap: Wicked Ways, The Hunger, Genesis Fun: Love music series (4 tunes, 2 with videos), “What you Want”, Losing It Serious: Suicide, Troubles, How to be Me (with Chinchilla), Chalk Outlines (also with Chinchilla), Money Game trilogy The Big Push: Praise You, What Kind of Woman is This, I Shot the Sherrif (the one where he’s in red suspenders), War Pigs It goes on and on. Enjoy!
@ great song but even I need a switch up, Bongo Bong is my go to, but without seeing I shot the Sheriff and meeting the Big Push I don’t like to commit to a song lol 🙏🐊❤️🦉👍
@@badwolf1587 In my opinion, any tears Ren's music evoke are healing tears. Though I get the need to mix it up with a bit of beauty and a few jokes too.
❤❤❤ BARDCORE ❤❤❤ After hundreds of listens I still get tears, and still get goosebumps when Ren starts singing in Violets tale. Btw Ren was acting as Screech on the phone calling his girl after he could not hide at Patricks. He was freaking out.
Excellent reaction man 👍 Happy to have subbed, I'm enjoying to see you dive into Ren's rabbit hole 😜 He's such a storyteller... You have many options now : you could see Ren in rap songs with Genesis, Losing it or The Hunger. You could see him preach with more stories with the trilogy of Money Game. Or you could listen to him sing sing in Back on 74 / Message in a bottle retake or in Fred Again mashup or with his older band The Big Push busking on Brighton's streets with I shot the sherrif/ Road to Zion / Hip Hop live performance, the audio is amazing, incredible one !! Well, it's your choise now 😉 Thanks 😘
In Great Britain children without names are called Jennifer and James, much like our Jane Doe here in the states. Since Violet, their mother died at birth, they would have been put into an orphanage and possibly foster care. Some kind of government-run program for orphans and unwanted children. It breaks my heart because Jenny and Screech most likely grew up with no sense of real identity and no sense of belonging They grew up without the support and love of a family that truly cared about them. (And here, all along they would have had each other had they only known about each other. Would that have made a difference in their lives? You can't say if it would have or not, and that is also very painful to the soul. ) It is a beautiful, ugly tale, and the way that Ren plays and sings and delivers the story, you can just SEE and HEAR that he is disgusted with this type of life circumstance, especially for two young children and their quiet, gentle mother. 😢 (I have many more observations that I feel have been missed by many reactors, but, there is so much in this tale and so many layers that one simply cannot point everything out!) ha! Not taking away from any of the reactors, of course! Y'all are absolutely awesome For real. ❤ ....And even though they didn't know their real parents, and most likely due to biological as well as environmental influences, Jenny grew up to be silent like Violet and Screech grew up to be violent like their father, Stevie, that prick. The song is a horrible tale about generational abuse and transcends time because generational abuse has been around forever and doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Ren beautifully pointed out through his storytelling the many factors that stoke this fire, such as societal and individual silence, lack of family or other emotional support, etc. Btw, to answer one of your questions you posed while you were listening to the phone call, Screech was calling his girlfriend in the video who said she was busy. I have read comments before that suggest his girlfriend and his buddy Patrick were together and that's why his girlfriend said she was too busy for him to stop by, after which Screech called her a bitch and hung up on her. (And of course people like Screech who have grown up without love and support and feel unworthy of love deep inside would naturally have friends and girlfriends who are the untrustworthy type.) I have also been privy to comments suggesting Jenny had turned to prostitution at 14 years old, and that is the life that she wanted to escape, which Ren sings about in the very beginning. And when Screech kills her, the words are then, I guess she escaped. 😢 I have read that Ren had heard or read a story in the newspaper about a 14 year old boy who had killed and/or mugged somebody on the street. From that story his mind wondered how a 14 year old boy could get to that point in life and the Tale of Jenny and Screech was penned. Okay, I have written you a dissertation. I apologize!😂 But, love your work, bud! 👍🤓🥰
One thing you're quickly going to find out with Ren is how everything he does has a purpose. Just like you saw him tie the three stories together, literally everything he does is meticulously thought out, planned and purposeful. Regardless of what he's doing, this is a man who doesn't know the meaning of "half-assed"
I feel like the playing on the neck of the guitar, is to represent the panic of delivering the twins by c-section. Then the ooing is the twins looking out into the cruel world they've been born into 😢 11:42
Renegade subbed. ❤this reaction. I can't wait to watch you fall down the Ren rabbit hole. Remember to put your seatbelt on, and for some of his tracks your going to need a five point harness and a roll cage 😅😅😂
Awesome reaction 👍👍 losing it or the hunger, definitely love music 1,2,3,4 anything really there all bangers 😊 welcome to the Ren rollercoaster enjoy the ride ✌️
I watch a few Ren reactions most nights when I want to wind down. I don't subscribe to many but I did to yours probably on your first one. I've been invested in your journey. ha. Looking forward to what will probably be a reaction to Losing It? Hopefully!
So I think Patrick was with Screech's girlfriend, Violet's tale began in 2005, 2 0 0 5, which is when Violet died. I believe the The song was written in 2019 which would be 14 years later which was how old Jenny and screech were when they died.
I'm not sure I would call this busking, as that implies a performance for people on the street. These tales were filmed late at night to avoid people, though there is somebody visible in Jenny's tale. It seems like Screech was a sort of alter ego of Ren's before Sick Boi. Ren appears as Screech in one scene of the Big Push's music video Why My Woman, and is later mentioned in the lyrics of Illest of our Time and Ren's King Dotta diss, Dumb King Come. 6:15 Yes, absolutely! Well said. This is a story about generational trauma. 8:08 This was Screech calling his girlfriend. He flipped out when he realised he was cornered, with no place of refuge. There were some Instagram stories that came out in the lead up to the release of Screech's tale which I think you would appreciate. There is a whole Jenny and Screech playlist on Ren's channel that includes them. The description to the Instagram stories video is really interesting. 12:05 He did make a song with no lyrics. Just beautiful piano playing and a lovely backdrop. It's called McKay, and it is in honour of a friend of his, Callum, who died in a tragic accident. He also made a song called For Joe, which does have lyrics but also some beautiful wailing singing. (Ren is a huge fan of Jeff Buckley and I think it shows in this kind of singing.) It is a live version of the end of the song Suic*de, plus extra lyrics. Ren's childhood friend Joe died tragically young, and it had a huge effect on Ren's life. He talked about it first in an interview with Knox Hill, and then later expanded on it in the first of his 8 autobiographical Chapters, where he tells his story from age 19 to 33. These Tales were filmed on virtually no budget. Ren has a new set of tales written but not yet filmed. The second one is apparently called Vincent's Tale (based on Van Gogh). He tried to film it in September, but had a health relapse/autoimmune flare up that involved him losing the sight in one eye for several days and being taken to hospital in a huge amount of pain. Thankfully he is on the mend, and seems to be planning to try again with the video shoot early next year. Since you love Ren's singing voice, I would suggest you listen to his 'retake' of Back on 74/Message in a bottle. Retake, in Ren speak, seems to be some combination of cover/mashup/take a beat without words and rap over it/take a well known song and update the words. There are several of them on UA-cam, all excellent.
Enjoying your reactions. Along with his solo stuff, you should check out his band, The Big Push. A busking band that was based out of Brighton. Unfortunately, they’re no longer together, but some rally great performances. Two of my favorite Ren songs… “Seven Sins” and “Diazepam”
The riff you mentioned at the end, is the reverse if the ascending riff he does at the start where he reverses time. He plays the descending scheme to bring us back to the present day and start talking about Violet in the hospital again. Do the money game series next, doesn't have to be done as 1 video for those. I commented on Hi Ren your subs were about to blow. Congrats on your soon to be 1k haha 👍
Love the react! I’m here for it!!! You want another wild ride check out money game 1,2+3 (2 is the official lyric video) or dominoes! Both very deep and impactful like this one!
The inevitable “who’s Violet?”
My response every time: "OH NOooo!" 🤣
There is life before Ren, and life after Ren. There is no going back now
True that!!! All of our Ren lovers lives have changed forever! That is a fact Jack!
Yup!
😂 abso f..king lutely!❤
Word!!!❤
Exactly right. 👍
“That’s me falling down the ren rabbit hole” was the most on point shit ever lmao
😂...yep. I literally imagined physically tumbling down the hole.
As soon as he mentioned the Ren rabbithole, I knew I had to subscribe. It's wild being addicted to watching other people discover Ren for the first time.
Also voting for "Losing It" to be the next one! It's Ren going ham, rapping his ass off over the EDM track Losing It by the Australian producer Fisher. Great Fun!
Agree... Time for some fun.... Then maybe the Love Music set before getting serious again.
If you missed something REWIND!!! We won't mind, you need to hear what the story is.
oh boy here we go.... How about a FUN Ren song next? Try "Losing It' for crazy bars and laughs!
When Ren was screaming on the phone, he was Screech calling his girlfriend trying to find a place to go. He freaked out on her because she was "busy".
I agree let's lighten things up and go with losing it next😊
"Losing it" would be just perfect! Let's get the party started!
I endorse this suggestion!
@@TanyaQueen182 getting busy, more like 🤦♀
Excellent reaction - looking forward to seeing you go further down the rabbit hole.
12:42 always glad when someone recognizes the rewind 🔥
Not many recognise the guitar "unwind" riff. This occurred as our man announced that this was the sound of him falling down the rabbit hole..
@ 💯
@Benholio1 Although weirdly, many miss the forward wind later on.
I think because the rewind is after the 'we must rewind the hands of time...' line, whereas the forward wind has no lyrical cue to go with it.
I love your excitement and appreciation.
Yes, he really does THAT. 🙂
Each and every time.
Creativity on 10.
I am SO happy to be here for your journey and to watch you GROW.
Nearly 900 sub's today.
Woo hoo.
You have one AMAZING day.
I knew it would be worth it! Man, you are just the right one for this rabbit hole.
And you will love every level. Keep diggin, please!
Yes, his thoughts were mine- loved that!

Watch money game 1,2 and 3....its not as traumatic but definitely a shared experience....or you could go for 'seven sins' or 'suicide'...if you prefer more rapping then 'illest of our time' or 'murderer'. Theres is also 'chalk outlines' for a vocal singing collab.
Rens a chameleon....very good at many things so the taste is pretty diverse.
I said you would be at 1000 subscribers by next week. I was wrong you might make it there today.
Congratulations well deserved.
Looks like he just did!
@ niiiocee
Thank you!!
8:30 Ren is acting out the part of Screech calling his girlfriend. She refuses to let him come over. Maybe that has something to do with Patrick not being home... 😉

20.36: Screech call his girlfeind for shelter, she turns him down. 😊
The girlfriend was humping Patrick at the time. That is why she could not or would not respond.
Patrick was with his girlfriend 😮
One of the greatest plot twists in music history 😀
"He is fingering the shit out of that guitar" brilliant 😂 subbed! First reaction of yours ive seen..ill check out some more. Welcome to the team Renegade ✊
Get your Ren playlist ready 😊 He is his own genre
great reaction!! its getting harder to find people new to Ren ! glad to find you ..down the rabbit hole you go and we'll be right there with you 😂 xx
Hey from the UK 😁been loving your reactions... Ren touches across all ages and backgrounds. A light for the lost and a mouthpiece for the silent. Needed more than ever. I love how he reaches people and helps them without ever knowing. Bless this guy ❤️❤️❤️

Loved all 3 of your Ren reactions! May I suggest “Money Games, 2 & 3” for your next Ren videos.
This was my very first track I ever saw of REN’s and I fell in love with because I really enjoy theater and can you describe this as anything better pure musical theater?
Glad you enjoyed it as well
I never get tired of watching people’s faces as they’re trying to figure things out 😁the funny thing is, Ren’s songs get better and better and deeper and deeper the more reactors add their interpretations and ideas. Thanks so much! Can’t wait to see more❤
Subscribed! He's our modern-day Shakespeare! And a good guy too. Any song you pick will be fire.
your in now, no escape from here, "loosing it" or "masochist" next please
i was thinking based on his comments in hi ren that he'd like masochist. especially being an eminem fan.
@mrsapplegate while he was close, I’ve seen one reactor guess the twist in the middle of violets tale, and a couple others right before the reveal. So fun to watch regardless of when it hits them. ❤

But be ready to weep.

How does he……..because he’s Ren!
I absolutely love the “reveal moment”. Everyone is shocked and asking “WTF”😂😂
Love it
Caution....21st centry Shakespeare at work!!!❤
Bro you are flying through the subs!! Glad to see it man keep it up. actually inspiring to watch you grow like this. :D 1 week ago I was saying congrats on 100 subs so your killin it.. Road to 1k even though it seems to be short! :D
I appreciate each and every one of y'all!!!
Not for nobody. For us.
"Uh oh, uh oh guys". Correct.
Welcome to the family! Best wishes ❤
you see why we told you to do all three. good reaction. that moment you realize how deep the tragedy is. try money game if you want more like this or try losing it if you need something lite.
Your reactions to Ren are priceless!
The look on your face at the end! Priceless!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Understandably you want to carry on with the genius of Ren but, if you want to vary it a little and attract other groups of followers, try “Ghost Love Score” by Nightwish (live at Wacken), “Pisces” by Jinjer (Studio live), “Evolve” by The Warning (live at the MTV awards), “”Murder Song 54321” by Aurora (live at the Nobel Prize Concert) or “Don’t” Lose Sight” by Lawrence (Accoustic-ish). All of these are exceptional performances.
New sub. There are more like that. But there’s also crazy good raps, fun, raunchy and intense tunes as well. He collabs with some great people and has a great busking catalogue with his band The Big Push. He plays multiple instruments. His voice is bonkers with range. Some of his stuff will have you on the floor in tears. Don’t worry. All reactors go there and the Renegades are a connective and forgiving group.
Here are some quick options:
Rap: Wicked Ways, The Hunger, Genesis
Fun: Love music series (4 tunes, 2 with videos), “What you Want”, Losing It
Serious: Suicide, Troubles, How to be Me (with Chinchilla), Chalk Outlines (also with Chinchilla), Money Game trilogy
The Big Push: Praise You, What Kind of Woman is This, I Shot the Sherrif (the one where he’s in red suspenders), War Pigs
It goes on and on.
Enjoy!
gut punch reaction is perfect lol
Brilliant reaction ❤ subbed 😊
Ren does have a live on stage 360 version of this to.
Thank you Sir, loved it, you deserve a happy one next, what’s your favourite genre? Ren will certainly accommodate it, many blessings 🙏🦉❤️🐊👍
Someone said suicide and for joe... I was thinking WTF you trying to do to the guy???
@ great song but even I need a switch up, Bongo Bong is my go to, but without seeing I shot the Sheriff and meeting the Big Push I don’t like to commit to a song lol 🙏🐊❤️🦉👍
@@badwolf1587 In my opinion, any tears Ren's music evoke are healing tears. Though I get the need to mix it up with a bit of beauty and a few jokes too.
❤❤❤ BARDCORE ❤❤❤
After hundreds of listens I still get tears, and still get goosebumps when Ren starts singing in Violets tale.
Btw Ren was acting as Screech on the phone calling his girl after he could not hide at Patricks. He was freaking out.
Our modern day bard 🥹💜
Excellent reaction man 👍 Happy to have subbed, I'm enjoying to see you dive into Ren's rabbit hole 😜 He's such a storyteller... You have many options now : you could see Ren in rap songs with Genesis, Losing it or The Hunger. You could see him preach with more stories with the trilogy of Money Game. Or you could listen to him sing sing in Back on 74 / Message in a bottle retake or in Fred Again mashup or with his older band The Big Push busking on Brighton's streets with I shot the sherrif/ Road to Zion / Hip Hop live performance, the audio is amazing, incredible one !! Well, it's your choise now 😉 Thanks 😘
In Great Britain children without names are called Jennifer and James, much like our Jane Doe here in the states.
Since Violet, their mother died at birth, they would have been put into an orphanage and possibly foster care. Some kind of government-run program for orphans and unwanted children.
It breaks my heart because Jenny and Screech most likely grew up with no sense of real identity and no sense of belonging They grew up without the support and love of a family that truly cared about them. (And here, all along they would have had each other had they only known about each other. Would that have made a difference in their lives? You can't say if it would have or not, and that is also very painful to the soul. ) It is a beautiful, ugly tale, and the way that Ren plays and sings and delivers the story, you can just SEE and HEAR that he is disgusted with this type of life circumstance, especially for two young children and their quiet, gentle mother. 😢
(I have many more observations that I feel have been missed by many reactors, but, there is so much in this tale and so many layers that one simply cannot point everything out!) ha! Not taking away from any of the reactors, of course! Y'all are absolutely awesome For real. ❤
....And even though they didn't know their real parents, and most likely due to biological as well as environmental influences, Jenny grew up to be silent like Violet and Screech grew up to be violent like their father, Stevie, that prick.
The song is a horrible tale about generational abuse and transcends time because generational abuse has been around forever and doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Ren beautifully pointed out through his storytelling the many factors that stoke this fire, such as societal and individual silence, lack of family or other emotional support, etc.
Btw, to answer one of your questions you posed while you were listening to the phone call, Screech was calling his girlfriend in the video who said she was busy. I have read comments before that suggest his girlfriend and his buddy Patrick were together and that's why his girlfriend said she was too busy for him to stop by, after which Screech called her a bitch and hung up on her. (And of course people like Screech who have grown up without love and support and feel unworthy of love deep inside would naturally have friends and girlfriends who are the untrustworthy type.)
I have also been privy to comments suggesting Jenny had turned to prostitution at 14 years old, and that is the life that she wanted to escape, which Ren sings about in the very beginning. And when Screech kills her, the words are then, I guess she escaped. 😢
I have read that Ren had heard or read a story in the newspaper about a 14 year old boy who had killed and/or mugged somebody on the street. From that story his mind wondered how a 14 year old boy could get to that point in life and the Tale of Jenny and Screech was penned.
Okay, I have written you a dissertation. I apologize!😂
But, love your work, bud! 👍🤓🥰
One thing you're quickly going to find out with Ren is how everything he does has a purpose. Just like you saw him tie the three stories together, literally everything he does is meticulously thought out, planned and purposeful. Regardless of what he's doing, this is a man who doesn't know the meaning of "half-assed"
Hey man, another great reaction. Thanks 👍❤
Thank you!
There is more. And more. And more, to come for you. And none of it will be like any Ren you experienced already.
I would recommend Genesis, Illest of our Time, Power What you want! You can't go wrong with any of his songs though. He is the best! Subbed for more.
Ren got the idea for Jenny tale from news paper he read about a 14 year old boy that kill a streetwalker with a knife
Back for more Ren 😙
I feel like the playing on the neck of the guitar, is to represent the panic of delivering the twins by c-section. Then the ooing is the twins looking out into the cruel world they've been born into 😢 11:42
Yooo! Just clicked play, so hyped for your face! 😂
It happened
I love this so much, great reaction, especially the end as the penny dropped lol😅
Renegade subbed. ❤this reaction. I can't wait to watch you fall down the Ren rabbit hole. Remember to put your seatbelt on, and for some of his tracks your going to need a five point harness and a roll cage 😅😅😂
Awesome reaction 👍👍 losing it or the hunger, definitely love music 1,2,3,4 anything really there all bangers 😊 welcome to the Ren rollercoaster enjoy the ride ✌️
Minds get blown and down the rabbit hole they fall 😂. Welcome to wonderland Alice 😂
Reminds me of Crucify your Culture!
@KittyInTheGarden intentional easter egg 🫡😎. Thanks for noticing 😁
I watch a few Ren reactions most nights when I want to wind down. I don't subscribe to many but I did to yours probably on your first one. I've been invested in your journey. ha. Looking forward to what will probably be a reaction to Losing It? Hopefully!
I appreciate that!
So I think Patrick was with Screech's girlfriend, Violet's tale began in 2005, 2 0 0 5, which is when Violet died. I believe the The song was written in 2019 which would be 14 years later which was how old Jenny and screech were when they died.
I'm not sure I would call this busking, as that implies a performance for people on the street. These tales were filmed late at night to avoid people, though there is somebody visible in Jenny's tale.
It seems like Screech was a sort of alter ego of Ren's before Sick Boi. Ren appears as Screech in one scene of the Big Push's music video Why My Woman, and is later mentioned in the lyrics of Illest of our Time and Ren's King Dotta diss, Dumb King Come.
6:15 Yes, absolutely! Well said. This is a story about generational trauma.
8:08 This was Screech calling his girlfriend. He flipped out when he realised he was cornered, with no place of refuge. There were some Instagram stories that came out in the lead up to the release of Screech's tale which I think you would appreciate. There is a whole Jenny and Screech playlist on Ren's channel that includes them. The description to the Instagram stories video is really interesting.
12:05 He did make a song with no lyrics. Just beautiful piano playing and a lovely backdrop. It's called McKay, and it is in honour of a friend of his, Callum, who died in a tragic accident. He also made a song called For Joe, which does have lyrics but also some beautiful wailing singing. (Ren is a huge fan of Jeff Buckley and I think it shows in this kind of singing.) It is a live version of the end of the song Suic*de, plus extra lyrics. Ren's childhood friend Joe died tragically young, and it had a huge effect on Ren's life. He talked about it first in an interview with Knox Hill, and then later expanded on it in the first of his 8 autobiographical Chapters, where he tells his story from age 19 to 33.
These Tales were filmed on virtually no budget. Ren has a new set of tales written but not yet filmed. The second one is apparently called Vincent's Tale (based on Van Gogh). He tried to film it in September, but had a health relapse/autoimmune flare up that involved him losing the sight in one eye for several days and being taken to hospital in a huge amount of pain. Thankfully he is on the mend, and seems to be planning to try again with the video shoot early next year.
Since you love Ren's singing voice, I would suggest you listen to his 'retake' of Back on 74/Message in a bottle. Retake, in Ren speak, seems to be some combination of cover/mashup/take a beat without words and rap over it/take a well known song and update the words. There are several of them on UA-cam, all excellent.
Recommend chalk outlines live soon!! Subbed
Enjoying your reactions. Along with his solo stuff, you should check out his band, The Big Push. A busking band that was based out of Brighton. Unfortunately, they’re no longer together, but some rally great performances.
Two of my favorite Ren songs… “Seven Sins” and “Diazepam”
Hehehe loved your reaction. ❤️
Glad you liked it!
The riff you mentioned at the end, is the reverse if the ascending riff he does at the start where he reverses time. He plays the descending scheme to bring us back to the present day and start talking about Violet in the hospital again.
Do the money game series next, doesn't have to be done as 1 video for those.
I commented on Hi Ren your subs were about to blow. Congrats on your soon to be 1k haha 👍
Bro, welcome to the brilliance of Ren.
Reaction to the twist....priceless!❤❤❤
Love the react! I’m here for it!!! You want another wild ride check out money game 1,2+3 (2 is the official lyric video) or dominoes! Both very deep and impactful like this one!
Patrick from number 54 is with Rens girl, that's why he isn't answering the door and she says she is "busy"
