Violet's tale happened in 2005 (two zero zero five) and Jenny and Screech's tale happened in 2019, 14 years later. Twins separated at birth and then Screech ends up killing his twin without knowing she existed. Jenny inherited her mother's silence and Screech inherited his father's violence. Another interesting part is when he knocks on his friend Patrick's door and he wasn't there and then calls his girlfriend who said she was busy was because they were actually together behind his back. He's such an amazing storyteller. He calls his musical genre "Bardcore" which is perfect...
I have always said Ren was a bard! I love it! ❤️ You said everything I caught during tat song. Patrick and Screeches GF were together. Which is why he wasn't home & she was busy. Loved it! You said everything I was going to point out! 😊
Violet didn’t make it, Jenny froze just like V and Screech was just like his father. This is such a brilliant view of generational domestic violence. This man is so engaging .
thats the history repeating itself over and over again! Not just repeating itself for Violet choosing to be with a man like her father but her daughter repeated her defense mechanism of staying quiet and frozen which got them all in trouble she needed a new strategy on defence .... And Screetch was just like his Father! You gotta break the cycle somehow before its too late! So wicked ! Next level Genius Mr Ren!!!!
Never noticed it until this listen, but when speaking of Violets abuse he uses the line "the devil comes to dance" and in Jenny's tale that the devil was after Screech's soul, but the the devil's in his chest as he kills Jenny. Like an onion this song is.
@@MrBurnout22 listen to the start of each song and the end of each song... history repeats itself. The start of each song mirrors the end of each song he also rhymes the ending of the first two songs blame, shame
Clearly I’m not the only one that had just discovers the genius that is Ren. Honestly cannot remember being excited by any artist at all in my life. He’s on another level to anyone else on the planet right now. Pray he stays true to himself.
Pray he gets better soon, he is currently in Canada getting treatment (barely being able to afford it). I'm not a big believer, but I certainly pray for his health!
@@Frogger Ditto....Ren needs our prayers! It's okay to believe, we didn't come from nowhere! The more you believe and trust the better you heart will always feel and that's where so much emotion derives from inside. Have a great day!
I know this is an older reaction video so you guys may not see this but this was by far the best reaction I’ve seen to this story. A lot of people I’ve watched react to this got lost in the musical talent (not that anyone could blame them) and completely missed the plot. You guys did so great in being able to take in both, kinda made me feel like I heard the song for the first time again so thank you!! This is such a powerful take on generational violence.
Yeah the dude is next level. He has a GoFundMe up to help pay for is extremely expensive treatment up in Calgary. Maybe bring it to people's attention next time? Dude deserves our support for sure, giving us this art for free. Thanks again for further exposing and supporting him. Peace ✌️
Violet's mother was silent and her father was violent. Then Violet was silent when Stevie was violent. And finally, Jenny was silent as Screech became violent. - Three generations of silence and violence. Lather... rinse... repeat.
Ren pulls a couple of tricks on the listener near the end of Violet's Tale, firstly the lyric "please let my baby stay alive" can easily be "babies stay alive" & then he implants Screech's name in your head with the preceding lyric "it happened on these very streets". Genius.
Wow....yes...I never thought about planting Screeches name in your head. Because James would not of made as big of an impact because his nickname was used. Also the US uses generic names for people they can't identify "John and Jane Doe". The UK uses James and Jenny as their genetic names for nameless orphans. At least in the past they did.
Shout out to the director/camera operator, the lighting and choreography in this video is amazing. I love everything about this. It's thrilling and heartbreaking in equal measure. It's like an immersive experience. Gives me chills!.
Nah you guys had the best reaction because you actually paid close attention and seemed like you cared. 10/10 reaction, songs were incredible as well as the story telling. I hate when reactors don’t react to what we actually want them to but you guys are spectacular. Great job, earned a sub.
His friend Patrick isn't in because he is with Screech's girlfriend and that's why she was busy. Also take the n out of violent and you are left with Violet. Keep up the good work ✌🏻
He made a bunch of Instagram stories telling more of the backstories, I didn't see them just read about it but it was quite extensive from what I read.
Also, the 40 y/o guy named James randomly mentioned in Jenny's Tale (at 3:50)...initially, I couldn't figure out where he fit into the story...but after hearing Violet's Tale, I realized James is actually their dad. Absolutely Brilliant!
Screech had outbursts of rage and mood swings, tried to manipulate his girlfriend Jenny wanted to escape raninto danger and froze like a statue Violet tried to escape her abusive household ran into danger and stayed silent Violet's boyfriend had explosive outbursts and mood swings, tried to manipulate his girlfriend Violet's mother tried to escape into alcoholism and stayed silent when her daughter was being abused Violet's father was abusive and manipulated his wife and daughter Endless cycle of tragedy
Yeah,Ren blew me away when I first listened to him. He's a true one off. Never have I been so emotionally attached to a song on its first listen than I have been with everything Ren has done. The kid is ridiculously talented.
Jenny and Screech and Steve and Violets lives mirror each other. The deep part for me is how Jenny and Screech’s introduction to the world and their final day also run parallel.
Ren takes me back to the days when music was relatable. You could feel it in your soul. He shares his stories through his music and you can't help but feel it. He's amazing.
It never ceases to amaze me what a man with mad talent and a single instrument can do. Ren is a gift to this world. Great reaction as always! Y’all are among my favorites.
He is going through many health treatments right now . SEND LOVE AND POSSIBLY DONATE TO HIS FUNDRAISER to help him sustain the cost of his treatments for his aliment is much worse off than thought before.
@@cas9065 Thanks heaps I must have missed it too busy being enthralled with his music lol what a great idea paying the cost of an album makes so much sense!
You two are beautiful. Absolutely cherish your heartfelt reactions. Ren makes me weep constantly. So profound and powerful. I lost my mother two years ago in February to dementia. I beg you to watch “Constance” from Spiritbox. It was written for Courtney’s grandmother. Pay attention to items (memories) disappearing throughout. Heart wrenching. Love you two ❤
There's so much symbolism in this video. From the lights flickering when darkness speaks, to the shadow being darker on his dark side and lighter on his hopeful side... this is an incredible piece of cinematic musical art that needs to reach anyone struggling with mental illness, suicidal thoughts or depression.
I'd recommend Chalk Outlines for the next one, he does it with Chinchilla and it really highlights his singing abilities. Oh and it's another one that's performed live.
Hi y’all first time here will be a return listener just to say it’s called “suicide by cop” over here I love Ren and so happy getting the coverage and interest he is Stay safe one love ❤️
jennys tale was only ever meant to be a single project, but ren felt it needed fleshin out a bit more, so he added screeches tale, which lead to violets tale, but it couldve been 5 tales or more, there where disscussions about patricks tale, and richard(the cop)tale, but decided to keep it a trilogy. imagine if these tales where made into an hour long netflix special.
Didn´t know that (but I've only been a Dutch Ren addict for two weeks). I would love to hear a Patrick's and Richard's tale sometime in the future. Like a said earlier; This man is genius. This song is a classical Greek tragedy, not heard since time immemorial.
@@theglanconer6463 iv only just found that out myself by watching ren and samuel chat over on ren's twitch channel, remakesmusic. fasinating chat about how the two makes music vids.
Like you all, I've become obsessed with Ren over the past couple of days. Been watching LOTS of reaction videos because I love to see the love. Your videos are so great to watch. Feels like we're really enjoying it together.
I was waiting for this!So glad you found this little gem.This guy is pure addiction and you are spreading this addiction to the world.That makes you dealers!My favourite dealers for sure:)
I love your disapproving glances to the camera. You're both as invested in this musical play as I am. Top work by you and Ren. He's an artist, that's for sure.
I love how tapping impresseses people so much when guitarists know it's lightwork... Except for the swag and tone he provides by his skill. Not saying I can do what he did simply but it always looks more impressive than we know it is 😅
This was, as usual, a very enjoyable reaction. This trilogy was another example of Ren's genius and a master's class in storytelling. It has been likened to a Shakespearean tragedy. I would also recommend you check out Ren's collaborations with Chinchilla, "Chalk Outlines," "How to Be Me," and their busking sessions in Brighton. As for "Chalk Outlines," it is one of my favorite songs right now; it is beautiful yet sad. Looking forward to more Ren reactions from you. God bless.
I watched like a dozen reactions of the tale so far. It's like an addiction... You're the first one to think about the hopeless situation of Screech and that he ended his own life on purpose. I never came to that thought but I think you're right. He wasn't just a maniac, he was broken and desperate, didn't see any good in his own life.
It’s so cool to see the love you two share! Y’all are Real, and I appreciate that so much! Isn’t Ren amazing? I discovered him a week or 2 before “Sick Boi” dropped and I’ve been getting to know his music. Talk about talented, he can do it all! I love his storytelling and I agree, feels like watching a play on stage. From what I understand, a lot of his music is done in 1 take, and live! That is unbelievable! He makes his own beats, plays the instruments, mixes, produces - truly an independent artist, and I have big respect for that! He comments to reactors when they do his songs, he just wants people to share his music. I love his different rapping styles - y’all might enjoy “Power” and “Losing It - Fisher Rap Retake” - I’ve had those on repeat lately! I hope his treatments are going great so he can get back to a healthy body! What he’s been through hurts my heart. We gotta keep supporting him! Love your good vibes, new subscriber here!! ✌️❤️
Great reaction! You are really paying attention to the words said to understand what he is trying to get across. He's a poet, reciting his poetry to music.
So glad you guys are going down the Ren rabbit hole! I found out he was in a band too (the big push) and there's a lot of busking vids on here that are brilliant. One vid I haven't seen be reacted too a lot is a duet he did with chinchilla called 'how to be me' that is truly haunting in a beautiful way imo 😊 xxx
This song (story) is soooo sad, but impressive as well. This man's mind is just different. He reminds me quite a bit like NF. Both such amazing story tellers. There are so many independent artists out there it just amazes me!
Ren tells the stories and the filming of the stories are all done so well i found myself looking for the bodies laying on the ground. The saddest thing about this is the fact each of these things are happening in every country at this very moment and the cycle continues
I love the way he uses different composition methods depending on the character, jenny's music was was tense and quick, Screeches music was defined by the way he attacked each and every note, but violets was a combination of the 2 , coupled with clever use of sound echos to heighten the experience - Pure genius composition, visually were were subjected to the most engrossing atmospherics, His direct stare into the camera engages you, pulls you in and you cannot help but be transposed into the scene where you are immersed in fear, anger and sadness. this man is a Pure modern Shakespearean Bard, at once grim but you are unable to stop looking. thank you for an excellent reaction.
A couple of things. I don't know what your relationship is but you are beautiful together. Period. Your analysis is pleasurable to watch. I have watched dozens of these reactions to Ren. And yours is one of the best in my opinion. /salute You make me feel like I have two new family members. Thank you for that. Life is better with ya'll in it.
I was thinking the same thing, that the works of Ren (and his great cameraman, Samuel Perry-Falvey) would be perfect for stage plays (like Hamilton) or movies. I picture his concerts to be something like that, too. Hope he tours the US and Canada (after his recovery in Calgary). Great reaction!
Hey you two, good vibes right back at ya! Loving your reactions to Ren's tunes over the past few days I think you would both love both Money Game part one and two, and also the beautiful harmonies and lyrics of Ren and Chinchillas song Chalk outlines! There really is no end to Ren's talents. Never bothered watching reacts until Ren started blowing up here It's awesome to share the joy of others discovering and watching his performances for the first time and be just as wowed as I felt discovering him! and now I cant stop watching ya all! Thanks for sharing!
Donate to his go fund me page- I just did. Every dollar counts. This man is legit dying. My girlfriend and I both have people that have the same symptoms, and the doctors can't even give them an idea of how long they will live. It's very sad and there's no cure for any of it. It's depressing to say the least.
@@Frogger I'm with you man. I'm healthy and not young so his illness is even more concerning. Just keep him going. His talent is crazy & not enough folks know who he is.
Im so glad to see somebody react to his rewinding time at the beginning of violet's tale, its such a small detail, yet so genius Did you catch the unrewind at 17:53 to continue the story where he rewinded?
"I am sure her mother knew." I see two different layers in this line. One, chances are that, at least on some level, her mother did know some of those "things" Violet's father was doing but for various reasons either "pretended" not to see or pushed it away out of her consciousness so she wouldn't have to deal with her own dilemma and/or guilt about it. And, even more critical, from the "big picture" perspective and in keeping with the theme of these tales, there is the strong possibility that Violet's mother went through the same kind of thing when she was a child. That is the nature of these cycles, they are passed along from one generation to the next. A child is born into it, grows up believing this is "just the way it is," ends up in a different version of what is essentially the same tale when they are adults and so on and on.
FYI on Screech's tale. In an interview Ren said the reason Patrick wasn't in.was that he was at Screech's girlfriend place, hence her being busy. So the stories are even more intertwined than they first appear.
The story telling is better than a movie or play because with the aide of the music along with Ren our imaginations fill in the visuals. We don't get to use that part of our brains anymore. That's the unique beauty of Ren it's him and the music in unique locations, but real locations and often done at one time. The talent is never ending if Ren stays true to himself it may not be easy, but perhaps acts why his journey is going the way it is. Music is trending and everyone so excited while Ren spends 6months in medical treatments and trials. With such talent our creator figured just to keep Ren genuine and authentic and not get so allowed up by the evils of instant success, music industry, and ego. Like before with Sony as he's going to get signed he got too sick and never did sign away his soul away and his destiny was for world to hear his talents and find someone like them to show them even through great darkness there is light and we're stronger than we know physically and mentally. Kinda like Jesus the people needed someone they could all relate to who was different than all the others, but represented the masses and under represented. So through his illness and difficulties Rens soul continues to be saved from music industry and his own ego. He remains grateful a slave only to himself and his illness but his souls expression and passion his unique talent all remain unchained and free from the devils greatest partners music industry and inflated unchecked ego. So many souls lost by instant fame and being forced to become something other than authenticity. So I beleive there was absolutely no other way to keep such a talented human beings ego in check and save Ren from fames vultures, self sacrifice and destruction, keeping him grounded, superior while still more of an equal with the majority of Earths people and forced to step out of successes spotlight so as to remain untouched by soul stealing evils and fueling the greatness inside that we now know, as Ren the one we never knew we needed because we hadn't experienced anything so uniquely different yet so universally relatable and shared through various forms of art . Ren creative genius Spiritual inspiration Stirrer of emotion, imagination, story telling through music that makes us feel again and get 3xcited about something captivated by the simple or left out visuals and depth and complexity of the sounds delivered with such timing and methods and movements. A Genuine Earth Angel
Ren is very sick and stuck in Canada for 6 months for medical treatments. If you go to his channel look at his comments page, he describes the issue and politely asks for donations if anyone is able to help. He promises more free music when he's back in his health.
The power of music can be profound, but normally you never get these type of reactions when listening to the regurgitated music that is played on the radio
Violet's tale happened in 2005 (two zero zero five) and Jenny and Screech's tale happened in 2019, 14 years later. Twins separated at birth and then Screech ends up killing his twin without knowing she existed. Jenny inherited her mother's silence and Screech inherited his father's violence. Another interesting part is when he knocks on his friend Patrick's door and he wasn't there and then calls his girlfriend who said she was busy was because they were actually together behind his back. He's such an amazing storyteller. He calls his musical genre "Bardcore" which is perfect...
"BARDCORE " I like it❤
Hahaha I just posted a poorer version of this.
I have always said Ren was a bard! I love it! ❤️ You said everything I caught during tat song. Patrick and Screeches GF were together. Which is why he wasn't home & she was busy. Loved it! You said everything I was going to point out! 😊
Thank you!!

Never noticed it until this listen, but when speaking of Violets abuse he uses the line "the devil comes to dance" and in Jenny's tale that the devil was after Screech's soul, but the the devil's in his chest as he kills Jenny. Like an onion this song is.
I enjoy Ed. This so much ❤️❤️
Also violet left an abusive household to escape and then she found the same person as her father Stevie, he beat her just like her dad did
@@MrBurnout22 listen to the start of each song and the end of each song... history repeats itself. The start of each song mirrors the end of each song he also rhymes the ending of the first two songs blame, shame
“Two twins are lying side-by-side…” They were born side-by-side, and they died side-by-side. So epic.
Clearly I’m not the only one that had just discovers the genius that is Ren. Honestly cannot remember being excited by any artist at all in my life. He’s on another level to anyone else on the planet right now. Pray he stays true to himself.
Pray he gets better soon, he is currently in Canada getting treatment (barely being able to afford it). I'm not a big believer, but I certainly pray for his health!

Love how ren uses the acoustics of the environment as another instrument

Jenny & Violet never break their silence no matter what is happening to them, the only time this changes is when Violet pleads for her babies lives.
Oo that’s a good point
Violet's mother was silent and her father was violent.
Then Violet was silent when Stevie was violent.
And finally, Jenny was silent as Screech became violent.
- Three generations of silence and violence. Lather... rinse... repeat.
Ren is the definition of a bard on modern days, such an amazing artist.
He calls his music 'bardcore'
It never fails to impress me when he starts going down the stairs while playing guitar,and it’s live, and in one take
Ren pulls a couple of tricks on the listener near the end of Violet's Tale, firstly the lyric "please let my baby stay alive" can easily be "babies stay alive" & then he implants Screech's name in your head with the preceding lyric "it happened on these very streets". Genius.

it's just him and his guitar yet you can see all of the scenes and characters. he's an amazing talent

Screech had outbursts of rage and mood swings, tried to manipulate his girlfriend
Jenny wanted to escape raninto danger and froze like a statue
Violet tried to escape her abusive household ran into danger and stayed silent
Violet's boyfriend had explosive outbursts and mood swings, tried to manipulate his girlfriend
Violet's mother tried to escape into alcoholism and stayed silent when her daughter was being abused
Violet's father was abusive and manipulated his wife and daughter
Endless cycle of tragedy
Yeah,Ren blew me away when I first listened to him. He's a true one off. Never have I been so emotionally attached to a song on its first listen than I have been with everything Ren has done. The kid is ridiculously talented.
I was so nervous for Jai to hear Violet's tale, you could tell Half was too by the way he kept checking on her. Such a heartbreaking story.
I see REN’s music as Slam poetry with a melody. However he’s an amazing guitarist and vocalist. My favourite new artist.
Jenny and Screech and Steve and Violets lives mirror each other. The deep part for me is how Jenny and Screech’s introduction to the world and their final day also run parallel.
It’s so cool to see ren get the recognition he so rightly deserves
Ren takes me back to the days when music was relatable. You could feel it in your soul. He shares his stories through his music and you can't help but feel it. He's amazing.
He’s this generations Bob Dylan. A consummate story teller
It never ceases to amaze me what a man with mad talent and a single instrument can do. Ren is a gift to this world. Great reaction as always! Y’all are among my favorites.
Holy crap on a cracker 🤯 I didn't expect the two of you to react to this. I'm glad you did, though 🤘🏻
He is going through many health treatments right now . SEND LOVE AND POSSIBLY DONATE TO HIS FUNDRAISER to help him sustain the cost of his treatments for his aliment is much worse off than thought before.
Nice one he needs all the support we can give him let’s hope his time in Canada is helping over all must be the fight of his young life 😢
Fundraiser link is on the YT page community. A number of people send the value of a CD or an MP3 download on amazon.
@@cas9065 Thanks heaps I must have missed it too busy being enthralled with his music lol what a great idea paying the cost of an album makes so much sense!

The fact this is done live is amazing
This is just a masterpiece of art! Ren is just crazy talented! Enjoyed your reaction!
Wait til you hear his singing voice. As others have stated "Chalk Outlines" with Chinchilla next. The live version.
I agree the live version has a better sound, but the animated lyrics video hits different imo
@@Frogger I personally love both versions equally, but I do love the live version for the visuals and overall feel.

Wow... This was amazing. Ren should be better known in the States.
Ren tells the stories and the filming of the stories are all done so well i found myself looking for the bodies laying on the ground. The saddest thing about this is the fact each of these things are happening in every country at this very moment and the cycle continues
I love the way he uses different composition methods depending on the character, jenny's music was was tense and quick, Screeches music was defined by the way he attacked each and every note, but violets was a combination of the 2 , coupled with clever use of sound echos to heighten the experience - Pure genius composition,
visually were were subjected to the most engrossing atmospherics, His direct stare into the camera engages you, pulls you in and you cannot help but be transposed into the scene where you are immersed in fear, anger and sadness. this man is a Pure modern Shakespearean Bard, at once grim but you are unable to stop looking. thank you for an excellent reaction.
I'm so happy you reacted to this one!!! Thank you so much.
You two never fail to put a smile on my face. Thanks for being so lively and likable; we need more of that in this sad world
I too really enjoy their energy.
This trio of songs left me in tears.
A couple of things. I don't know what your relationship is but you are beautiful together. Period. Your analysis is pleasurable to watch. I have watched dozens of these reactions to Ren. And yours is one of the best in my opinion. /salute You make me feel like I have two new family members. Thank you for that. Life is better with ya'll in it.
Dudes doin hammer ons and pull offs with acoustic, that's impressive.
I was thinking the same thing, that the works of Ren (and his great cameraman, Samuel Perry-Falvey) would be perfect for stage plays (like Hamilton) or movies. I picture his concerts to be something like that, too. Hope he tours the US and Canada (after his recovery in Calgary). Great reaction!
I love how you guys move your heads the same way I do when listening
A true prodigious artist! Hear him rap! Wow!
Fire reaction!! Ren live version of Chalk Outlines is a must see!! ✌❤💪
Defo!
Ren is a bard, like in castle bards where they sing & act out their poetry.
#Ren is a highly talented story teller. Just brilliant!
You are AMAZING at what you do guys! that's like a 100th reaction of the trilogy i watch and you are in the top 5 for sure!
Hey you two, good vibes right back at ya! Loving your reactions to Ren's tunes over the past few days I think you would both love both Money Game part one and two, and also the beautiful harmonies and lyrics of Ren and Chinchillas song Chalk outlines!
There really is no end to Ren's talents. Never bothered watching reacts until Ren started blowing up here It's awesome to share the joy of others discovering and watching his performances for the first time and be just as wowed as I felt discovering him! and now I cant stop watching ya all! Thanks for sharing!
Hard part is knowing Ren is trying to bring a voice to events that happen all over the world daily.
much love Ya'll
YES!!! You caught the 'side by side' double! SO many reactors miss it and it drives me nuts.....subbed and liked! mad respect to ya'll
Great reaction. Chalk Outlines is absolutely beautiful.
FINALLY you two are the first reators to get it. Thank you so much for paying attention. If I wasn't already subbed to yas I would be now
Donate to his go fund me page- I just did. Every dollar counts. This man is legit dying. My girlfriend and I both have people that have the same symptoms, and the doctors can't even give them an idea of how long they will live.
It's very sad and there's no cure for any of it. It's depressing to say the least.
word! I just donated too. Most people can afford to give a few bucks but the world can't afford to lose musical genius like his!
@@Frogger I'm with you man. I'm healthy and not young so his illness is even more concerning. Just keep him going. His talent is crazy & not enough folks know who he is.
Brilliant reaction guys and had to subscribe you two are a breath of fresh air
amazing reaction..love you two..genuine, sensitive, recognized talent and love the grounded clean reactions . following you guys now. respect ❤❤
Ren's Losing It, Money Game 1 and 2, The Hunger Game, What You Want, Life is Funny are some greats as well
Ren is a genius
Born on the same night. Died on the same night. "It happened on these very streets." So many layers.
Love you guys! I see in ur eyes love, positive, peace and everything good! Thank you for reaction
Im so glad to see somebody react to his rewinding time at the beginning of violet's tale, its such a small detail, yet so genius
Did you catch the unrewind at 17:53 to continue the story where he rewinded?
"I am sure her mother knew." I see two different layers in this line. One, chances are that, at least on some level, her mother did know some of those "things" Violet's father was doing but for various reasons either "pretended" not to see or pushed it away out of her consciousness so she wouldn't have to deal with her own dilemma and/or guilt about it. And, even more critical, from the "big picture" perspective and in keeping with the theme of these tales, there is the strong possibility that Violet's mother went through the same kind of thing when she was a child. That is the nature of these cycles, they are passed along from one generation to the next. A child is born into it, grows up believing this is "just the way it is," ends up in a different version of what is essentially the same tale when they are adults and so on and on.
So frigging deep..best song I've heard
I have watched many reactions to this trilogy and it never misses to give goosebumps and make me cry. What great masterpieces!!!
It’s called suicide by cop
FYI on Screech's tale. In an interview Ren said the reason Patrick wasn't in.was that he was at Screech's girlfriend place, hence her being busy.
So the stories are even more intertwined than they first appear.
The story telling is better than a movie or play because with the aide of the music along with Ren our imaginations fill in the visuals. We don't get to use that part of our brains anymore. That's the unique beauty of Ren it's him and the music in unique locations, but real locations and often done at one time.
The talent is never ending if Ren stays true to himself it may not be easy, but perhaps acts why his journey is going the way it is. Music is trending and everyone so excited while Ren spends 6months in medical treatments and trials. With such talent our creator figured just to keep Ren genuine and authentic and not get so allowed up by the evils of instant success, music industry, and ego. Like before with Sony as he's going to get signed he got too sick and never did sign away his soul away and his destiny was for world to hear his talents and find someone like them to show them even through great darkness there is light and we're stronger than we know physically and mentally. Kinda like Jesus the people needed someone they could all relate to who was different than all the others, but represented the masses and under represented. So through his illness and difficulties Rens soul continues to be saved from music industry and his own ego. He remains grateful a slave only to himself and his illness but his souls expression and passion his unique talent all remain unchained and free from the devils greatest partners music industry and inflated unchecked ego. So many souls lost by instant fame and being forced to become something other than authenticity.
So I beleive there was absolutely no other way to keep such a talented human beings ego in check and save Ren from fames vultures, self sacrifice and destruction, keeping him grounded, superior while still more of an equal with the majority of Earths people and forced to step out of successes spotlight so as to remain untouched by soul stealing evils and fueling the greatness inside that we now know, as Ren the one we never knew we needed because we hadn't experienced anything so uniquely different yet so universally relatable and shared through various forms of art .
Ren creative genius
Spiritual inspiration
Stirrer of emotion, imagination, story telling through music that makes us feel again and get 3xcited about something captivated by the simple or left out visuals and depth and complexity of the sounds delivered with such timing and methods and movements.
A Genuine Earth Angel
These are not just songs..they are art that touches souls ...at least I hope
Ren is very sick and stuck in Canada for 6 months for medical treatments. If you go to his channel look at his comments page, he describes the issue and politely asks for donations if anyone is able to help. He promises more free music when he's back in his health.
The power of music can be profound, but normally you never get these type of reactions when listening to the regurgitated music that is played on the radio
HECK YES!!! BEEN WAITING on y'all. Pls do "Chalk Outlines" next.
#Ren
my favourite song of his!
there are so many songs you could make out of all the changes in rythm with the giutar in his songs. so many surprises
That's a Broadway hit for sure. Great call guys #MADRESPECT
The man is a genius. A classical Greek tragedy, not heard since 500 BC.
Such a prolific statement on the systemic effects of poverty and other societal generational ills🌿💔
Light and blessings for you all !
