I will be posting my next Ren reaction on Thursday or this upcoming weekend at latest. Subscribe to me with notifications if you want to catch it!
And please, don't be afraid to seek help, even if it's for something minor! I wish I mentioned that in this reaction
Enjoy the dive into the Ren rabbithole. His back catalog is vast and diverse covering many genres but always top quality.
i think "loosen the noose on the rope" was about voice which makes to cancel suicide, like u was right there on the edge but something made you to give it another chance in the very last moment, so u loosen the noose of the rope attached to the ceiling
“Hi Ren" is the song that put Ren on everyone's radar since December; it went viral and has garnered more than 5 million views since its debut, but he has been creating great music for more than ten years. Ren’s music videos are generally recorded live, often in a single take, although not necessarily the first take, and from various camera angles. His release, "Sick Boi," is almost another chapter to "Hi Ren." Many of his songs resonate with people because he addresses struggles that many others face every day.
Ren plays multiple instruments (acoustic, electric, and bass guitar, piano, drums), has impressive vocals, is an excellent storyteller, and is quite the philosopher and poet. He is considered by many a modern bard. His trilogy "The Tale of Jenny/Screech/Violet" is haunting and has an unforeseen conclusion. It needs to be watched in the order given, as this is the flow of the storyline. It is another example of Ren’s genius and a master’s class in storytelling. It has been likened to a Shakespearean tragedy.
Ren’s collaborations with Chinchilla (“Chalk Outlines,” “How to Be Me”) are beautiful and showcase his singing voice while addressing mental health. His live music videos are especially impressive. Ren's personal reflections are threaded through many of his songs; "Insomnia," "Depression," “Diazepam," “Penitence,” “Dear God,” “Heretic,” “Dominos,” his "Freckled Angels" album, just to name a few, all deserve a listen. His song "Money Game" (Part I & II) is another recommendation, although it is less of a personal song than it is an indictment of greed and the resulting injustices in this world.
Ren’s Hip Hop/Rap style songs are all worth checking out if you enjoy this genre; they are pretty amazing. Check out “The Hunger,” “Genesis,” “What You Want,” “Losing it (FISHER rap retake),” “Right here, right now (Fatboy Slim one shot retake),” "Life is Funny," “Love Music (1, 2, and 3),” “Crucify Your Culture,” “Power,” and his latest release, “Bittersweet symphony (The Verve retake).”
His performances with Sam Tompkins (“Blind Eyed,” “Earned it /Mans World / Falling,” “Walking on the Moon), Eden Nash (“Humble,” “Ocean”), Bibi (“Crutch,” “Ahiahiaoha”), Molly McKinna (“Penitence”), his former bandmate, Romain Axisa (“French Song”) are all great.
Ren's performances as a member of the band "The Big Push" (which unfortunately broke up), their busking (street performances), concerts, and their live recordings, are awesome and well worth checking out. Ren's covers of "I Shot the Sheriff," "Wade in the Water," "An Englishman in New York," “War Pigs,” the songs "Oh My Woman," “Swan Song,” "War Pigs," "Sweet Little Lady," "It's Alright," "Watch Out," and so many others are equally impressive.
Ren recently released his single, “Sick Boi.” In anticipation of his stay in Canada for more treatments, Ren prepared some music ahead of time to be released over the next six months that he expects to be gone. As mentioned above, his latest release, “Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve retake),” is another masterful work.
^^^^ Exactly
Ren is a phenomenal talent.
Playing this video on repeat for the past few days and trying to catch reaction vids. This video really has me looking at my issues and considering professional help.
For whatever reason, there is still so much stigma around caring for your mental health. I used to work for a mental health center when I was in university. I can tell you, not everything works for everyone. BUT, as long as people seek out help from multiple sources, they are more likely to solve whatever they are struggling with compared to someone who does not seek aid to begin with.
Hopefully you do seek help if you need it, much love 💙
Good luck on your journey and may you have more good days than bad ones.
So glad you found Ren homie, he’s a genius
I heavily recommend following this up with “Sick Boi” since it’s tangentially related. Also goes hard af and I think you’ll love it
I also would recommend you do “Jenny’s Tale”, Screech’s Tale”, and “Violet’s Tale” in one video. They’re three separate songs that tell a contiguous story and it’s pretty incredible
Finally, “The Hunger” is one of my favorite songs by him. It’s a more traditional rap song and you’ll find lots in it to comment on 👀
Thank you brother, regarding your second recommendation. I found a video from Ren which might be all 3 of these combined, it's called "Ren - The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full)". Is that correct?
I've added all your recommendations to my WL because this was an amazing first impression.
@@xFayze Just checked and that video does indeed have all three! Looking forward to your reactions :D
Ren is amazing...at all of it
Welcome to Ren's rollercoaster fella. Buckle up. It's a wild ride!!
Recommendations:
Masterpiece: Jenny and Screech’s Tale (full version)
Rap virtuosity: Losing It (Fischer Retake)
Heart wrenching vocals: Chalk Outlines (live version) with Chinchilla
Chalk outlines is also amazing.
More Ren please!! Soo much of what he’s done is amazing. The tale of Jenny & Screech (full), sick boi, money game, money game part 2 and chalk outlines are great starts!
Thank you Rana, I'm excited to go on this little journey. Haven't been this excited since NF, Harry Mack, and JID tbh.
Here is some additional information on Ren's story, in case you didn't already know. I gathered it from an old newspaper interview and Ren's livestreams and posts where he discussed his condition. Ren Eryn Gill is a British musician; born in Wales in 1990 or ‘91 (depending on which source you cite), he grew up in Brighton. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, he began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. In 2010, he was signed by Sony Records and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue and subsequently dropped by Sony.
Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which lead him to experience psychosis. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure.
Ren is currently in Canada for more treatments, including surgeries, and will have to be there for at least six months (Summer of 2023). Ren's Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder, which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, adrenals, as well as his bones/joints.
Ren stated: "It's a lot to wrap my head around having to be away from friends, family, and a successful career, and almost feels like a total juxtaposition to the fact that my music is blowing up right now and spreading to all corners of the world, but that's life, we take the good with the bad."
Let's keep supporting Ren and not pull a "Sony" on him as he undergoes his treatment. Check out and subscribe to his channel, listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to this generation, and his work is needed in these troubling times. Here is the link to Ren’s GoFundMe page to raise money for his current treatment. www.gofundme.com/f/ren-get-better-from-lyme-disease-and-autoimmunity
Thank you for taking the time to write this. I took the time to read it all as well. I hope the doctors can help him recover to atleast a sustainable level of health...
Great reaction! I thoroughly enjoyed your analasys and understanding he was a genius from the beginning.
Thank you so much!
@@xFayze Right back atcha!! 👍😊
good job really like the review. I think any song you pick of his next to review you will connect, and his army of REN fans will watch. It is such a blessing to see him getting the attention that he has work so hard and through so much to practice his art.
I will have Sick Boi reaction up on Thursday. I wanted to take the time to rewatch Hi Ren, read the comments, and watch other reactions of it before moving on to sick boi. I felt this guy had something special and thought why not take my time to discover him.
His fans, like yourself, are especially nice and informative people in the comments. Often times, an artist's fans are a reflection of himself!
@@xFayze you are not the first reactor to make a comment about Ren's fans being a good reflection of him.
We are slightly rabid in our newfound love of him, but I think so many of us relate to his struggles because we have been through similar and are so thankful to see him shining a light in the darker corners and making some of us feel seen for the first time. In return, we are happy to see him starting to get recognition and want to help him be seen.
Good reaction
Sub Conscious Ren - the light is behind him, so his face is in the dark, the lights flicker when he speaks and he strums his guitar more aggressively.
Patient Ren - the light is in front of him brightening his face, lights are calm, no flickering, and guitar strumming is smooth and melodic.
See, I was so occupied with the difference in his cadence and voice tone that I didn't catch the visual separation with the lighting. Thank you!
Very insightful reaction. I have watched dozens, and I'm constantly surprised at how many subtle differences people pick up. To see more of Ren's rap skills, check out The Hunger.
I've checked out reaction to Hi Ren now that I've done my own, and it's like everyone interprets it a little bit differently. I like that alot, he leaves room for people to digest the message in their own way
Loved your reaction and you are so cute! 😅🫶
Thanks for shooting my ego to the moon for a few months 😅. From your tiny pfp, you're a bit of a cutie too damnnn 😄
Nice reaction video, dude. Curious to see what you have to say about his other songs(works). Hi Ren moved me to the point that I’ve probably watched every reaction to it (I have some time on my hands). Check out Genesis, The Hunger, Money Game part 1 and 2, Jenny’s Tale, Screeches Tale, and then Violets Tale(in that order). Enjoy going down the rabbit hole. It’s a fun ride. Also, be sure to check out his busking videos! Cheers!
Cheers brother, thank you for taking the time to write this out!
Great reaction. Subscribed. Please react to Ren's Jenny's Tale (Full). He and Samuel push the one take video/performance further each time in that trilogy. Bardcore.
Thank you Aran, that is on my list after sick boi
Here for the next. This man...
Universal truths, here. Epic
I've seen people suggest the split personalities can represent our own egos, doubts, things that can cripple us if we let them dominate us but are also necessary in order to keep you rooted to reality and accountable.
❤❤❤✌
I'm getting that hope line tattooed.
My best friend used the noose. RIP Davíð.
Rip 🙏
Nice reaction and appreciation of the art! Really enjoyed your comments, hope this channel grows and does well!
Thank you 😊. Hope REN is getting better right now so he can keep sharing his art in the future
Really loved this reaction, gonna sub and go through the rest of your Ren reactions.
Lol everyone says he looks like Cillian Murphy but I just can’t see it 😂🖤
Really good react
Quality mate, comment for the algorithm

Great reaction and love your breakdown!
Thank you Mark
Stages of watching Hi Ren:
This looks creepy
Guitar sounds nice
Oh he’s singing
Will the whole song be like this?
Here’s the beat
Ok he’s rapping now
This guy is scary
Now he seems nice
Oh I see what he’s doing
This is interesting
This is intense
The mean guy is a jerk
This is INTENSE
Make it stop
I haven’t blinked or taken a breath in 2 minutes
Go Ren!
YES!
OOO-OO-OO-OO-OO-..
I need some time to be still…
Yooooo this is EXACTLY IT 🤣🤣🤣
Spot on
Nice job
Very good reaction buddy……thanks
Thank you too!
Please react to his song "POWER"...very fun song
7:21 - As a rap fan the first time I heard this I was like "...did NF die and come back as a renaissance bard?" Major Intro III vibes.
#Ren 🔥
Ren is an amazing vocalist. If you want to hear him sing, you can check out Chalk Outlines, even though his accompaniment kind of ruins the video imo. She can sing too, but the video was recorded live and her stage presence is a bit overbearing. His voice comes through in his rap lyrics too. He doesn't just stay on beat, he also stays in key. You can hear it very well in The Hunger which is one of his harder rap songs. The vocal flair that he puts into the lyrics just adds so much to an already incredible performance. He never fails to impress.
Wow you're the first person I've seen say something negative about Chinchilla. Is that really what you take from that video?
