    Violet's tale happened in 2005 (two zero zero five). Jenny and Screech happened in 2019 14 years later when the songs were released. Jenny inherited her mother's silence and Screech inherited his father's violence which is why she was still and silent when Screech killed her. Also an interesting part is when Screech knocks on the door and Patrick isn't home then he calls his girlfriend who said she was busy, they were actually together behind his back. This is brilliant storytelling. It's a story of how history repeats in the lives of people. Ren truly is brilliant. He describes his genre as "Bardcore" which is perfect as he's a modern day minstrel or bard. Great breakdown as usual...

    Jenny and James are apparently typical twin names. Also consider her freezing statue like, and her silence their sets Screech off, just as Violet's silence was his father's trigger. There are tons of little connectors. Jenny's Tale and Screech's both finish with 'It's such a shame', and Screech's Tale is bookended with .The Story is starts right at the end and ends with 'The story it ends right at the start.

    The similarities between the twins are not that obvious. There are some parallels in their stories that make it apparent when you listen to it again. Like them lying close to each other at the end of Screech's and Violet's tale respectively, as well as the "such a shame" line. But I like how Jenny and Screech resemble their parents. Jenny freezing up in front of Screech and Screech getting more violent because of that. Also how Screech talks to the woman on the phone. And the knocking from Screech and from Stevie respectively. The devil theme throughout the trilogy. There is so much to discover, even after dozens of listens. Everything is interwoven so well. I could fanboy the whole evening about Ren's songs.

    • @GrahamDixonUK
      @GrahamDixonUK Рік тому +6

      It's taken many re-watches and listens to realise that Ren told us early on in Violet's tale that she was pregnant. "Violet was a quiet girl, and Violet, she fell fast". Fell fast, means she quickly fell pregnant (I'm not sure if this is just a British phrasing which is why I explained it).
      I also now think the tales begin and end at Christmastide. The guitar intro for Jenny's tale is reminiscent of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" which is played around with up to and including his trumpeting.
      Graffiti Christmas tree as he first sings "Jenny walked alone she was dragging her feet".
      And at the end of Violet's Tale as "a lady down in Paddington just lost the fight to stay alive" we stop at a shop which has "Seasonal Greetings" in the window.
      Because of the gap in recording these epic tales and Ren's attention to detail, I think it was planned, not coincidence.

    Thanks for completing the trilogy. It’s weird as I am an almost 65 year old man who grew up on rock/metal music so my taste leans more towards Ren/The Big Push doing covers of Sabbath’s War Pigs and Paranoid. Most of the elements in Hi Ren and this trilogy tale are things I’m not into (classical guitar, rap, talking, sounds) and yet, he weaves it all together to make it so compelling, captivating and mesmerizing. So much so, that it stays in your head. I would so much rather see him do one of his songs live on the Grammys than most of the performances that night

His story telling is top notch and he delivers so well, all while doing it in rhyme schemes and acting out the characters and playing guitar with it, genius.

    At the beginning it talks about jenny being adopted, then talks about screech being in the system and aging out. Baby girls adopt easier than boys, boys left in fostercare is a common trope. With Violet shes out alone at 16 does not have anyone but the abusive partner/father of the twins. He goes to jail for murder, and the twins go into protective services... Then quiet jenny (like mom) and aggressive screech (like dad) meet by chance and die together in the same cycle of violence....

    Yes those are seagulls. Ren lives in Brighton UK, which is a tourist town which is why so many buskers have success there. Most of his videos are filmed around the town, a block or two from the beachfront. His band did a great one-take live cover of a Manu Chao song on the rooftop of their apartment and another song in a public laundromat. The "hospital" location at the beginning of Violet's tale was actually a friend's kitchen that they dressed. All locations you can find on Google maps if you look around a bit. I don't think he gets permission for any of it, he's so used to busking, he just does it and hopes no one interrupts them before they get it done. The Ren rabbit hole runs deep and most people think it only goes back 5 or 6 years but you can find stuff as far back as when he was trying to make his boy band successful as a teenager.

    Something else that was beautiful is how he paralleled the birth and deaths of Jenny and Screech. At the end of Screech’s tale, he mentions how it’s two bodies laying just one street apart, and he parallels that to “two twins laying side by side.”
    The other part I love is the deliberate misdirection with when she finally speaks out. As a listener, I heard, “please let my baby stay alive,” but what she actually said was, “please let my babies stay alive.” It’s genius the way he structured that. Thank you for all of the breakdowns, man. I love your videos.

    This was, as usual, a very enjoyable reaction and an excellent analysis. This trilogy is 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, and really showcases Ren's beautiful singing voice.
    Looking forward to more Ren reactions from you. God bless.

    There’s a moment in Jenny’s tale where the narration says something akin to : I walk these streets all the time but for some reason this time feels different. “The hands of fate” I think was used. Something felt wrong. Could be the twin sense letting her know that there was something bigger afoot. It’s a beautifully written story. A Grecian tragedy like you said

      Violet is on life support, the guitar played on the neck indicates the frantic activity there. The ethereal vocal after it and the camera work facing upwards and towards the light indicates she did not survive. Rewind is to show how she got there. After the beating he forwards time on the guitar so he can tell the rest of the tale in retropect.
