Original Video: • Ren - The Tale of Jenn...
@RenMakesMusic
Screech is James’ nickname.
I work at a Womens Refuge in the UK, sadly Violets tale is all too common. Through his artistic gifts Ren is bringing the dark, ugly, hidden (or ignored!) truths up to the table. Your reaction was great!!
You really don't have to apologize when you pause the video this "early". The reason why I (and I think most of us) clicked on the video was to watch the song through your eyes. This is it what makes reactions so intreaging💯😅
Oh you’d be surprised at how many people expect me to sit and listen to the entire song without commentary and then just end the “ reaction” at that point… which makes no sense to me whatsoever…. I don’t want to watch some ugly a-hole listen to a song for a few minutes…. Why would anyone else want that? 😂
Jenny was silent like her mom and screech was violent like his dad
And grandfather..
@@nopowerups And the grandmother was silent too.
Apparently out of 30+ reactors you’re the first one that actually listens to it.
👍 great job
I knew before I started this channel I wasn’t “cool” or “interesting” enough to get away with the head bobbing style of reaction, so I figured I would have to bring something else to the table instead… 🤣!
Since grade school I have been really good with metaphors and symbolism, so it was a natural crossover.
I LOVE that answer!
Very true, you actually listen
Ren is a musical and lyrical genius! The modern day Shakespeare!!!
Just to note, Violet's Tale was written/released over 2 years after Jenny and Screech's Tales!
Highly recommend reacting to Ren's Chalk Outlines feat. Chinchilla (the live version). 👍🏻🏴
Agreed
Definitely the live version!
Subscribing because you shaved your beard for you wife.
The react was okay too.
Ren is Goat.
😂
I think everyone should be giving kudos and a shout out to the camera guy, Ren’s friend. Amazing the videos the two of them do. I don’t know if it’s the same guy for every video, one mentioned a Samuel, so kudos to you Samuel. So odd you shaved yours, when I want my husband to grow his back, and keep it! LOL
Wow is a great way to describe it! That twist and how he ties them all together is amazing! Such a good storyteller to be able to paint such a vivid picture that the listener/viewer can see it in their mind. Better than any movie I've seen lately. Loved your reaction!
Thank you 🙏
Like a David Lynch movie what is playing in your mind with the twist at the end, so dark, so sad and yet so real. That's the life of people we don't know because we don't really see them. They, could have been saved in the first place, but a pregnant woman had to die senselessly and so her kids. Ren made a incredible artistic story telling while using what he knows best, using thoughtful words and stylistic music on top of it. Never listened or experienced reality that way ever. We all have to wake up and cure our societies beginning with ourselves and not shy away from hurtful experiences we might have to endure when interfering, getting in the way of others when being hartless thugs. It shouldn't end here with experiencing Ren only and being deeply touched by his art and story telling.
It is a brilliant Bard’s tale… a tragedy through and through. He is a masterful storyteller.
First of all, brilliant reaction. I loved it. But, just like everyone else that already heard these songs, I was waiting for you to get to the end to see you react to the big reveal. You didn't disappoint. The look of shock on your face was great. You said you liked stories, and Ren didn't disappoint. He is such a gifted story teller. Thanks for your work!!
The opening riff is “ God rest, ye weary gentlemen”. A murder ballad that starts with Christmas music. I need a minute.
Waiting for your react on this. Was not disappointed. No need to write-back. Keep up the reactions! You missed it in the beginning Ren told us that James was called Screech by his boys on the street. Easy to miss a detail when Ren's throwing so much at us. A detail that a lot of people miss, that was implied. The sinister thing between his missing Patrick at Flat number 54 and the Phone call to his girl friend... is that Patrick is what she was "busy" with. This is revealed by Ren in depth in other sources.... but hinted at in the transition at the end of the Knocking on the door/guitar sequence and the beginning of the phone call.
He says earlier that James is called Screech by his mates, I think you paused it at the wrong moment lol. Also Jenny and James are twin names too.
And yet again with the savage poetry from Ren.
Jenny and Screech starting and ending their lives laid side by side.
He didn't come home he never left home he smoked and drank at home and got irate at home.
So enjoyed your reaction, Ren is like a modern day Shakespeare #bardcore
Love the details all working together like Violet being quiet, and Jenny dying because she froze and was quiet. And James like his father was violent, and died because he went into a rage.
To all the Ren fans, Ren has a Go Fund Me page atm. He is in Calgary for medical treatment and has just found out that he needs more treatment than originally expected and needs to stay there for 6 months instead of the original 3 months. So if you've enjoyed his music PLEASE if at all possible, help him, no matter how little you can spare 🙏
Hey there, thx for mentioning it. Just keep spreading, so hopefully we all can take a bit of that burden off his shoulders.
Thanks for sharing!
The saddest thing about this is the fact each of these things are happening in every town, city, and country at this very moment and the cycle continues
I subbed to your channel, because of your reaction. I can't believe someone in your comments thought you did not understand this. You totally got it. Awesome reaction. Best of times to you and your wonderful family
Thank you! No worries though, I think sometimes people already have their comment made before they watch the video… it’s really the only explanation 🤷♂️ 😂
Heres two tidbits of info. Patrick wasnt home. His gf was busy. Yep you got it.
Violets tale was written after jenny and screech (james) but the 2005 refers to the year violets (violent) tale was set in. Jenny and screech was written in 2019. Theres a 14 year gap. Their age at the time of their deaths.
Wow! Mind blown. What a tale! Again, great breakdown of this trilogy. I have to tell you, this Ren dude has songs that you can’t listen to while driving, songs about subject matter I don’t care for and in a style I don’t care for, and yet, it’s all so compelling and mesmerizing. He is extremely talented. From what I’ve read, he’s recuperating from Lyme Disease, but this dude should have performed “Hi Ren” at the Grammy’s instead of some other wacko crap that was done
The perfect bard’s tragic tale. Thanks.
If you listen again he does say James is known by Screech, earlier in the song.
I'm following all the people who, like you are helping Ren reach the heights I always knew he would. I've been following him for years, waiting for this to happen and I'm beyond thrilled that it's finally happening. So the least I can do is follow those who are helping him get there
Naming the vignettes "Screech's Tale," "Jenny's Tale," and "Violet's Tale" reminds me of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, each a vignette about a different person. The the guitar intros have a strange middle ages vibe to them.
Just found your reaction channel - really like it.. go Browns from NW Pennsylvania!
I know this is a reaction to Ren's trilogy, but
one comment on the song Hi Ren in particular if I may: I dont think he fully grasps yet what he's accomplished with that song. It is blowing up because it connects on such a primal level - most artists dream of being able to impact in this way. I myself can't stop replaying it, and its way out of my usual genre of folk/rock.
What really blows my mind is that the song is about the song. He literally wrote the song about his hesitation over writing it. Never seen this before.. the man is a genius, and beyond talented.
When he talks about James he says his mates call him screech...that's the introduction to screech, then Jenny turns the corner and meets eyes with screech....
Just wanted to say that I only listened to Ren for the first time about 2 weeks ago. Obviously the video was Hi Ren. I immediately sent it to a good friend of mine. With the message. Genius. He replied. "Bit late on parade". I thought he had seen the video. Met up with him Friday. And said to him. "When did you watch the video ". He said that he he had seen him live a little while ago. And he added. He was in a Band, (Group) .He said that it was the best gig that he had ever seen. Outstanding. He is nearly 60 years old. And has been to many gigs and concerts. Very few real Artists nowadays. But I am now a fan. Very talented. Adrian. From Guildford. England. Love your reaction.
Reminds me of so many artists and groups I found back in the day before they got big… next thing you know you hear them on the radio or your friend is listening to them and your like “WTF? That’s MY diamond in the rough!”….
Always a bittersweet feeling, your glad they are blowing up, but sad that they are no longer something special that only YOU know about! 😂
God bless you. Very little Artists around nowadays.
@@MAWGReacts OMG that is EXACTLY the feeling my daughter have been having for the last month or so. We are both thrilled that the guy we've been following is finally getting the attention he deserves, but at the same time we've got that feeling of "but, he's OUR Ren, we found him first" 😂😂
I only found ren by chance a couple month's ago, listened to ren chalk outlines. Was hooked. Everything he has done is amazing. Such an amazing talented person
Ren is amazing, love everything i have listen too. I can highly recommend Money Game part 1 and part 2. I think this man is a lyrical genius, and like he said in Hi Ren anyone that finds his music will respect it. Respect Respect Repect.
Yours is easily the best reaction video to this song that I've seen, and I'm running out of reactions to it to watch on UA-cam! Great work! Thanks!
I normally have problems with hearing a reactor repeat the story as me, a listener, already knows the plot. But man. You do it in a way that is truly fantastic. Because you really give a shit. I love it. I didn’t skip at all. I really liked this. Thank you.
This kind of talent only comes around once in a generation! Ren is the real thing!
DOH!! You paused at just the wrong moment @3:46.
Regardless; a great reaction buddy!! It's a Shakespearean Tragedy. Or as Ren calls it; Bardcore!!
I was wondering how I missed the James/screech connection, now I see I paused right when he started to say it, and unpaused without going back a few seconds. 😂
It is amazing to think that this is live and each story is done in One take!
I think one of the best things about Ren is he doesn't really have videos like other people do where there are characters being played by actors or CGI but as you said the imagery that he paints with his words paints a picture in your mind. He truly reminds me of the bards of old. I wouldn't be surprised if two thousand years from now if humans were still around Ren's name wasn't talked about as far as art and music goes he is definitely in the league with Beethoven and Picasso.
Said this in a previous comment, but worthy of consideration:
Chalk Outlines (ua-cam.com/video/4Vn_N5IHHoc/v-deo.html)
- A brutally honest examination of struggles with dependence, depression, suicidal ideation, etc delivered with profound insight and beauty.
The Hunger (ua-cam.com/video/1T_fLytBFM4/v-deo.html)
- An incredible demonstration of Ren's spitting chops, 450+ words in 149 seconds with continuous changeups in cadence. The lyrics (found in the comments) are absolutely amazing, telling the story of where he comes from and where he sees himself going.
Jenny and screech is at present. Then he takes us back to 2005 to tell violets tale. Iv seen a couple of reaction vids. It’s interesting how most don’t get that. Great vid though. Thank you.
Thanks for watching….. but I did understand that violets tale happens before Jenny and screech…. That was kind of the big reveal at the end of the song….. not sure what makes you think I didn’t understand that. I mean she’s their mother so the only time it could take place is before Jenny and screech’s tale….
Unless your saying he hints at it early in the song and nobody picks it up?
Edit: I get it now… he says 2 zero zero 5 several times early in the song…. Your absolutely correct in what you said.
This story is sooo tragic, but told sooo well. Ren’s storytelling ability is just off the charts amazing, and don’t even get me started on his insane musical ability. He is so captivating. You instantly get pulled in and then go on an emotional roller coaster through the story. Just brilliant. Really enjoyed the reaction. The twist at the end always leaves me speechless with goosebumps. I was the same way on my first listen. I was like “no way. Holy crap”. 👏👏👏EPIC!
✌🏻❤️😊
10/7-23 You have the courage to face Rens telling and messages, the core of it. Thats why I like your reactionvideos on REN. Thank you for honest reactions:)
the story is impressive..... but for me the impressive stuff is.... almost all his video are live, one shot..... micro on his shirt and guitar plug.... this is genius and art
The best happy ending here is that neither one of them left behind children to continue the generational trauma. It's over.
I've just watched your reaction to Hi Ren and your perception and intuition was spot on x thankyou :-)
Cant wait to hear what you have to say about this trilogy...I'm excited for you :-)❤
FULL SCRIPT HERE!!!>>>>>> JENNY, SCREECH, AND VIOLET
She walked this street countless times. The graffiti on the walls, the lights in the windows, it was all a picturesque image in her head she knew bit by bit at this point. She counted the bricks the way she counted her steps, for a girl like Jenny, this street was more like hers than the flat she called home.
There was a chill in the air, and with it, something more.
Something she couldn’t quite define.
Something sinister and foreboding, whispering in her ear something she couldn’t quite interpret.
“Turn around Jenny. Choose a different route. Turn around, stupid girl.”
But the words fell flat, quieter than the silence that filled the air.
She walks under the streetlights and feels illuminated for a moment in time, feeling the presence of someone not there; someone who should be. Someone who isn’t.
She hears the smashing of glass a few streets away, followed by the warning barks of a dog. She hears the shouts of neighbours warning trespassers to go. She sees nobody, and for the moment, she’s happy the sound is so far away from her.
Jenny turns the corner, feeling a fraction of happiness for the minute amount of time she doesn’t see him. That moment, she doesn’t collect the image of the man standing outside of the light. She doesn’t pick up the image of someone just outside of her vision.
It’s that moment that she thinks of when she chooses a spot on the ground to sleep tonight.
“Gimme your fuckin’ money bitch.” he says beneath baited breath, “Don’t think twice about screaming, don’t you dare fuckin’ scream.”
She doesn’t see the blade.
She doesn’t see his eyes.
“Hurry up now, I don’t have all night.”
The response is in her head but her throat catches it before she can speak it.
I have no money on me.
She stands there silent and motionless, a shell of who she was a moment ago.
She tries to see his face, to see the human standing before her.
She sees a husk.
She sees something in a black hoodie.
She still doesn’t see the knife.
“You think I got time for this, bitch?”
She doesn’t see it.
She feels warmth in her stomach.
She doesn’t look down.
The brain doesn’t register.
Jenny doesn’t even have time to notice his arm swinging at her stomach over and over.
Her mind keeps her safe as she goes weak.
“You should’ve just listened.”
The figure turns and runs before she even goes to her knees.
Wishing she even had the strength to pray.
It was there, under that streetlight.
It’s here that Jenny chooses to sleep tonight.
Her eyes grow heavy and her stomach gets wet.
Jenny closes her eyes and chooses to sleep here, on the street she’s walked countless times before.
Screech slams on his buddies door, only a street over from where he saw her.
“Come on man, let me in. I think I fucked up. I’m not sure,” He shouts so loud he feels the blood in his throat.
He hits the door over and over with such force he feels his knuckles pop and his skin tear, yet no one responds.
No refuge for our villain, from the bitter hands of fate.
No, something far more bitter surely does await.
In the distance he hears the banshee-like scream of the sirens coming closer.
He continues to knock, yet no one responds.
From the street he just left, he hears a scream.
One from someone he did not know.
From someone who isn’t Jenny.
It’s at that moment that the knife in his pocket feels heavier than obsidian. It feels like something alive. Something with purpose.
Screech turns around and goes to the corner that connects the streets and pulls out his phone. He runs through his contacts, looking for anyone who might answer his call at this time of night.
He sees his girlfriend's name.
“Hey babe, you up?”
“Hey baby, yeah what’re you up to?”
“I’m just wondering if I can pop by. I miss you.”
“It’s past midnight, have you been drinking?”
“What? No.”
“You’re high then.”
“The fuck does that mean?”
“Screech, go home. It’s too late to be dealing with this right n-”
“Fuck you bitch. You fucking-”
Dial tone.
Silence.
Screech is left in the sound of Jenny.
The black of night is filled with the blue and red now.
Only feet from him, he sees the cars.
He can see the men step out of their vehicles and stand above Jenny.
One kneels down and puts his hand to her neck.
They look at her stomach, where Screech left Jenny silent.
One of the officers looked up the road, directly at Screech.
They start to walk towards him.
The omnipresent power of justice looms over Screech, but he was never one to walk away from a fight.
It was at this moment that his knife felt lighter and he held it in his palm once again as the man stepped beneath the streetlights, slowly approaching Screech.
He could see the man’s blue eyes now, like the lights that blinded his eyes. He could see his hand on his holster, like the Screech’s on his knife.
“Come on you fucking cunt!” The words left his mouth before they passed through his mind.
“Let’s fucking go, I’m the ender of Jenny. You think that fuckin’ uniform you’re wearing means that you own these streets? These are my fuckin’ streets, and they call me fuckin’ Screech!”
It was at this moment, as Screech approached the officer, that his friend Patrick’s house had lit up behind him.
Far too late for Screech to realise or care.
When officer James Richard took the call, he didn’t think he’d be in this moment. A woman in distress had called dispatch to report what she believed was a body. James and his partner took the call, they were only two blocks away. When they pulled up on this street, James was familiar with it already.
He walked this street countless times before.
It was instant that he saw Jenny and where she chose to sleep.
James and his partner immediately checked her out, knowing far too soon that she would never wake up.
Her stomach was far too red; Jenny was now long dead.
It was only moments after that James saw the figure up ahead.
He wanted to ask them questions, but thought to feel for his holster instead.
It was good that he did so, as Screech was prepared.
“Come at me you fuckin’ coward, see how well Jenny fared?!”
He saw the glint of metal in Screech’s hand.
James had no time to hesitate.
He fired four shots into Screech’s chest.
One made Screech’s legs get weak.
The next made him cry.
The third dropped him to his knees.
The last one made him die.
The story seemed to end, right where it would start.
With Screech, and poor Jenny, lying only one street apart.
An officer, left shaken.
And two bodies were left broken.
At a hospital not far from these streets, a woman lay in bed fighting for her life.
Bloodstained sheets.
The monitors make a rhythmic beat.
Covered in sweat, running from a fate she wasn’t ready for.
Dealing with the hand she was dealt.
To know Violet’s tale, we must rewind the hands of time only just a little.
Violet was a quiet girl. Her mother was loud and drunk.
Her father was a prick, a bastard, nothing short of a fucking punk.
Every night, he tucks her into bed, and the things he’d do…
Her mother knew.
She’d stay quiet, like her daughter Violet.
And her father he’d have his way.
But Violet, she’d stay silent, and her father he’d always say. “Violet, you stay quiet and I promise this will be quick.”
For fuck sakes, my poor Violet, your father’s one awful prick.
When Violet turned sixteen, she moved over and found her own place to stay. Lying to the government was what it took for her to get away.
She worked odds and ends to make amends for the hand that she was dealt.
Until she met Stephen, that other prick, who reminded her how it felt.
Stephen tucked her in at night, and now he’d repeat her fathers words.
The things Stephen would do…I’ll save you the trouble of hearing.
Late one night, Stephen had his way and things took a violent turn.
Punching into Violet's chest, he’d scream and holler and cry.
“Say something Violet, quit being so silent.”
But Violet held her tongue.
“Say something you fucking cunt.”
Until Violet had gone numb.
“Violet?”
The first thing the doctor noticed was Violet was nine months in.
Then he saw the scarring and the bruises on her skin.
“Please don’t let me lose this child.” She cried and begged and pleaded.
Keeping her baby alive was all the Violet needed.
`As her world went black, and Violet lost her fight, the doctor’s were sure of one thing and one thing only.
Her two babies were healthy, and they’d live long lives.
When asked what he wanted them to be named, the father took a moment before two names came to mind.
“Jenny and Screech.”
Jenny and James - very twin-ish names. Why did his mates start to call him Screech? I haven’t figured that out yet. Seems like Jenny was walking the streets by the time she was 14. Incredibly sad tale!!!!
@@dogtrainerjen Simple./ he was fast on his feet.
I would also recommend you also check out Ren's collaboration with Chinchilla, "Chalk Outlines" and "How to Be Me," as well as their busking sessions in Brighton. As for "Chalk Outlines," it is one of my favorite songs right now; it is beautiful yet sad.
I'm only a few into your vids, and you don't miss anything, generally. So I was surprised when you missed him coming right out and telling you that James' friends called him Screech. Like your others, this was an awesome reaction
Stopped because I saw the Browns gear (Go Brownies), and loved the reaction man. Looking forward toward your next!
Ren is a genius. A torched soul fighting for life.
Sorry I am a bit late... I loved the way you slowly broke all this down... respect from the UK good man.
definitely react to Money Game Part 2 and The Hunger by Ren for his rapping skills. And he also has many collaborations with various artists with street performances. Sam Tompkins and Ren have amazing performances busking on the streets
His mates called James screech!! Quick on his s feet
He is the medieval minstrel bought up to date. Masterpiece.
Screech=James
4:22
Amazing reaction!
Regards from Scotland 😎👌
Those who have the ability to prevent evil have the responsibility.
10/10 great reaction well done and thank you 🏅
Im so glad u got to listen in the right order. It is hard to listen to for sure. People need to know that generational abuse and trauma exist and we need more services to help abusive mothers (and fathers) and services for kids that come from these homes. Thanks for another reaction.
REN really is a genius like he said in Hi REN 🖤
🤯 I have watched this a couple times the picture he paints Is so vivid.💔
Ren is brilliance!His work is a masterpiece it's so powerful he is a genius. he will blow anyone off the stage what a artist he is and the best rapper. I love him as a person and he is very good looking for sure. Misdiagnosed is the worst he's in the hospital and i am praying for him. All the Doctor's treated him with drugs saying it was all in his head for 10 years 23 hours a day suffering before it was found out he had lyme disease!!!God Bless him always
Love seeing people's reactions to this song;) ❤️
I'm only 7 minutes in but your talking about that intuition...when I was 24 I was at my brother's house and he lived off a highway that connected to another major highway about 10 miles down the road. I was about to leave and that voice in the back of my head told me to wait. I didn't know why I felt the need to wait but I listened. I thought maybe I forgot something so I checked to make sure I had my purse and everything. I went to my car and still had that feeling to wait...so I cleaned out the little trash I had and took my time doing it. Then all the sudden that feeling was gone so I left. As I approached the highways connection stop light I saw that a truck had not stopped and slammed into the cars waiting at the red light. He must of been going at 70 mph cause the 4 cars waiting at the light had been pushed into the major highway causing a massive wreck. This had JUST happened as there wasn't any police or medical on scene yet. I saw 3 bodies laying in the road and a lady (must not have had a seat belt on) was partially through the windshield of the car she was in. A total of 6 people died in that wreck. If I had left and ignored that voice then I would of been in that line of cars at the light. ALWAYS LISTEN TO THAT VOICE!!! I FULLY believe it's your Guardian Angel!! That was the 2nd time mine saved me...and it wasn't the last!
The last line hits hard doesn't it.
On the night Jenny was killed, she felt that something was wrong. This blew my mind when I thought about the fact that Jenny and Screech were twins and how they say twins are connected. 🤯
By far this is the best reaction to this masterpiece of storytelling 👍
You gotta listen to those Spidey senses! They've saved me before.
Yep… they are typically right on the money…. And if they aren’t, 99 times out of 100 it doesn’t hurt to listen to them anyway!
@@MAWGReacts yep that's the problem with it. They only prove right when they are ignored and tragedy happens or if you are the one who avoided a tragedy and then they're dismissed as luck.
It is a tragedy in true Shakespearean style.
THIS GUY IS GENIUS! TODAY'S VERSION OF SHAKESPEARE......
Cheers for the video mate and yeah I do watch for da beard bro... lol 😎👌
Awesome reaction!
The beard is cool and all, but I found you and subscribed for one reason only.
The astoundingly profound artist known as Ren 🧡
Fair enough! You would be surprised at why some people say they subscribed… one person was disappointed I wasn’t wearing my hood up anymore because that’s why they subscribed. 😂
I had to explain to them that during the summer I typically don’t wear hoodies and if I was the hood definitely wouldn’t be up.
@@MAWGReacts 🤣
Finally some one actually reacting to the song. I don't understand people who don't want you to actually react.
(Google translation) You are fine without your beard and Madame must be happy. In any case, I had subscribed to your channel during your previous reaction to Ren :) I particularly like the care you take to listen to the lyrics and transcribe them with your words. It helps me to understand some passages that I can't understand, since I don't speak English well enough. Thank you so much ! And I love your sensitivity so obvious, so direct!
As for Ren, I know as I write these words, that you have already reacted to Money 1 and 2. For my part, I became an instant fan of Ren, at the first hearing of "Hi Ren" and everything he does, all his videos, all his texts, his music, EVERYTHING overwhelms me. But I admit to having a particular crush on the two songs with Chinchilla.
Finally a small "commercial" or "utilitarian" suggestion: if you want to see your channel grow in number of views and subscribers, you should perhaps react to Dimash Kudaibergen... the vocal phenomenon! If you ever do, start with his iconic song that made him known to millions: SOS d'un terrien en distress (Slavic Bazar version).
But back to Ren: the only singer who has moved me to tears for... more than thirty years! Thank you for continuing to react to his videos, he needs to be seen and heard so much, he deserves it and... we are fulfilled!
Michel, from France.
Love you’re reaction! And your a friend of the land Nice!!!
Ren wants the streets to know that when you go and hurt the world, you never know how you hurt your own when you target.
Ren wants the streets to know that when you go and hurt the world, the pain you use to justify yourself maybe be suffered by your target.
This is a Shakesperian tragedy. Even the guitar riffs you like so much, to British people are instantly recognisable as being inspired by medieval (Shakesperian times) minstrels lyre riffs.
Thought for the night. Isn't that intuition that you say you should listen too, not at least sometimes the voice of fear or self doubt, which for example, in "Hi Ren" is telling him not to do or release his music?
Lol I shave my beard on wife’s birthday too!…every year! 😂
I do about 4-5 shaves a year, and some trims in between.
Wife’s birthday shave in January, spring shave before summer, midsummer shave, and then clean up for the holidays typically! 😂
I think his theme here is the generational cycle of abuse continuing. When he introduced Jenny she had been walking the streets and wanted to escape - and we now know she was only 14. It was clear that Screech was troubled, had anger issues and out on the streets into trouble regularly at the age of 14.
So Violet from an early age was introduced to abuse and an unhealthy family role models. She moved out young. And fell for someone who would also abuse her.
Jenny and Screech both went into foster care. I would say they too were abused or neglected. Just like Violet.
Sound too deep? Consider this…his father is a therapist or something like that and he even shot a video when Ren was a teen showing teens making one stupid bad decision that went wrong. The video was part of his meeting with the Corrections system to discuss the difference between hard criminals and those perpetrated by single bad momentary choices. I’d say when you are raised in a home like Ren, you certainly have been exposed to the discussions about abuse patterns continuing through the generations. This trilogy is hard but he is trying to bring awareness about real hard issues.
Glad to know he has a lot of ‘beautiful’ stuff too. Check out his Bittersweet Symphony (a Verve retake).
You should listen & watch REN’s “Money Game” wow!!!!
Had that experiance too and in an alley when I was 17 it was a dark wet evening and I see two girls come out of the alley and I thought it must be okay they just went though so I went in and I walked a little way in the hear bells from the church on the other side I immediately thought that is an omen Something bad is gonna happen and I was grappling with that in my head, my gut turned and then I was around a third of the way in when I turned around to see a man had just walked into the alley same way I did I tried to convince myself it was okay but I just knew it was not I tried to turn my head to see if he was faster in than he should have been walking normally but I could not turn my head fully I was scared but I turned my ear like I say it wa raining the rain was making noise but I turned my ear enough to think them foot steps sound nearer than they should and I dropped my head so my chin was my neck and got my hands out my pockets. I knew he was behind me seconds later and as he went to grab my head/mouth with both hands I throw my head back at him as fast and hard as I could which the older me reflects and knows was dangerous but it was the best decision as he was not hoping for a fight from a 17 year old he did try further by pushing me to the green mesh fence again putting a hand on my mouth and I went to smack him up across the side of the head and his hat come off him my hand in the process he made one more attempt to push me me and punch me, missed and grabbed his hat and ran off.
Them few moments of intuition and the moments to think made that difference I mean I froze watching him run and know I could not because if he used his brains he would have waited until I was on the iron bridge the alley was heading into which was wet from the rain and I had to make sure he was gone before I went over it but I was of course shocked and tried to scream as there were houses each side of the ally opening he was leaving from but nothing came out when I tried because I was that shock up but in that moment it happened I had that little warning in my head that allowed me to contemplate that one action that shock him up a little too
Wow that’s crazy. Glad you made it through that ok!
@@MAWGReacts At the foot of the bed he's in at the start of Act III...it says Violet...
Yes. Ren.
Please do These 2 Flows In 1 reaction....The Hunger and Genesis!!
il y a du Sting, du Tom Waits, du Edward Gorey, du Bukowski, du Genesis époque Gabriel, du Eminem, avec une patte très personnelle: un grand conteur.
Another great reaction by you.
Thank you 🙏. I’m going to
be doing some of the newer rens soon, either later this week or early next.
@@MAWGReacts Thank you for replying to my comment.I look forward to hearing more reactions to Ren.
This is why you need to pay attention, lol. :) You were wondering when Screech had appeared, after he'd already been introduced. "James... his mates call him Screech..." I worry how confused you're going to be by the end of Violet's Tale! :) If you miss a line with Ren, not only have you likely missed some beautiful poetry, amazing wordplay, hilarious dry as a bone humour, or some heartbreaking pathos, if he's telling a tale, you could end up missing a vital piece of information. Maybe even the lynchpin of the entire narrative. Ren's definitely not background music. You do need to listen, to fully appreciate it. :)
Chalk Lines, Hi Ren, I shot the sheriff/road to Zion/hip hop, his versatility is different level.
Ooo he has an “I shot the sheriff”?
@@MAWGReacts He's got two versions of I shot the Sheriff. You want the 8 min medley he does with The Big Push (his band).
You missed the most important part of the cycle of violence. Violet grew up trained to stay quiet. She would have feared for her life even more than the day-to-day. You think you’d stand up to that?! You’re kidding yourself.
The mother who allowed violets father to rape her is what I was talking about…. Not violet.
Great reaction
The only thing I would say about the Mum in that situation is that she is often being heavily abused herself and threatened with her life. From personal experience it took the violence nearly reaching the point one of us would die that our Mum could finally break us all out of it. so i think we need to be cautious not to say the Mum's are worse, they are often the worst victim. Great reaction vid though.
Hey there fellow Ohioan 😎 I'm surprised your reaction didn't get more attention. I felt like it was real and you understood what was going on. I know I'm a little late seeing it sounds like you may have had a cold or something going on hope you're feeling better ☺️
Actually 7800 views is pretty good for my channel! I typically sit between 1k and 2k views per video. 😂 But I’m grinding out an audience slowly but surely!
And yes this winter has sucked with the yo yoing weather… how many times are we going to go from 60 to 20 in a 24 hour period? It’s been doing a number on my sinuses, but it’s been a lot better lately.
@@MAWGReacts all I meant was it had less than 800 likes and I felt like that should have been a higher number. I'm nobody in the scheme of things just letting you know I thought it should have been higher because I really enjoyed your reaction ❤️ I subscribed to his page as well months ago.. he has a really great set of songs called Money Game parts 1 & 2. I swear this guy needs to be on any major theater production in the big cities 😎
@@MAWGReacts and yes I feel that I live in Toledo and it's been insane 🤦 I'm glad you are feeling better. Keep up the good work because I'm glad I finally came across your reaction. Some of these folks out here are so freaking boring it's ridiculous 😂
Believe it or not 10% like to view ratio isn’t too bad, and only 14 dislikes on it… the reason there isn’t more, is because there are three things I NEVER say in a video, because I just find it so irritating because EVERY SINGLE CHANNEL says it…
“Like, subscribe, and hit the bell for notifications.”
I know it really helps to remind people to do stuff like that, and I am probably doing myself a disservice by not saying it, but I decided long ago I would NEVER say those words in a video! 😂
You'd like La Dispute if you're into storytelling + the hardcore/post-hardcore sound, I'd say start with their first full length release and go forward from there - just .. just trust me on this
Great reaction. Lived every minute of it with you. If you haven't tried the other version of this please do. Ren did a special live performance of this in front of his home crowd in Brighton, where he is adored! I wasn't sure it could work as a live performance, but it does, brilliantly. It's worth watching that one as it has a couple of extra items which aren't in the original films. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/S_hs8EkWeZg/v-deo.html
When you are back, try ren and chinchilla, chalk outlines .
And then maybe look into some of his old busking stuff with the big push, he has some amazing song/covers with them.
He has a pretty tragic past will illness mantal and physical, but he is immensely talented.
He takes us to 2005 (two zero zero five)
And Jenny’s and Screech’s tale were from 2019. Screech was fourteen.
I subscribed for the REN reactions and stayed cuz I like ya ha
That was a shock and a half. WOw
Nicely done man. Appreciate your reactions and perspective. I think he says Screech is 40, not 14. He is the same person as James (I believe), he mentions it quickly in the prior verses.
Screech is 14, same age as his sister, born in 2005.
@@MegaWookie12 Ok. Sorry, I guess I confused it. I was thinking they were both older but I guess that math makes more sense.
