I re-watched my reaction a few times while editing and I'm happy to say I didn't catch many things I missed on my initial reaction. You know what that means...? Deciding when to talk has little to no effect on my comprehension of the video. If I feel like I've missed something, I will rewind it. OBVIOUSLY. I'll continue to record my videos how I want. Having comments tell me when and when not to talk is CRAZY and rude. Imagine if I said that to you mid-convo in real life😂Thank you!❤
You caught a lot more than many reactors! Never heard Luke and Leia comparison but it’s pretty good. You said screech was “Losing It” at the beginning…that settles it, Losing It should be next!🔥🔥🔥
@@sammig0203 Both bangers, no argument. Losing It is a fast fun flex of flows to not take too seriously. My only problem track is Love Music 4🤢…just because of the hook.
Yeah, the Renegades are pretty crazy. I used to comment on these videos, now I just sit back and let all these wonderful folks that have been touched by this music amaze the host. It is pretty cool. Ren's discord is pretty wild as well lol
You’ve probably already heard that Ren loves reactors! Watch his one million subscriber video and you’ll get a lot more insight into the mind of Ren. He’s incredible, both as an artist and as a person. You’ll probably hear from him yourself soon! Next you should do Sick Boi, then my two personal favorites, Genesis and Power. I think you’ll really enjoy Power. Anywho, welcome to the rollercoaster of Ren! PS-Ren is 6’1”. I asked him in a twitch stream and he answered. 😂
Great reaction! You caught the stuff. Chalk Outlines, live with Chinchilla. Time ro hear him really singing powerfully. And you'll get inteoduced to his musical sibling.
I watch a lot of reactions to Ren, I like seeing people’s reactions first time seeing his vids you are the only one I saw catch Ren talking to the camera in character and looking away as narrator… achievement unlocked 😁
Just wait until you do the money game trilogy. Ren has so many amazing songs and some of the videos are mind blowing especially when you take into account that they are filmed live and in one take. You really have only seen the tip of the iceberg with Ren he is without a doubt one of the most gifted musicians of my lifetime.
I completely agree on doing the money game trilogy... Just a note on the money game trilogy, you should react t the lyric video of Money game part 2 as the live version is only half the song. He released it during COVID, hence the lyric video being the definitive version...
I think people assume that Jenny had a good life. Remember she was also 14, walking the streets she had walked a thousand times before. In the beginning Ren says she was dragging her feet (foot dragger), and he stops briefly in front of graffiti that says Lick and says Can you Blame? And then, the “lady” freezes in high-heeled shoes when James was gonna “slice the rosy” off her cheeks. So, 14, makeup, high heels, walking the streets, dragging her feet, looking for a place to sleep, silent like the mom she never knew, killed by her twin who she never knew who took on the violence of the father they never knew. Ren is brilliant
I've never heard the expression 'foot dragger' before. Is that an American thing? Dragging her feet in the UK usually means reluctance or being a result of tiredness
Ren - (back on 74/message in a bottle) retake. Beautiful vocals, harmonies with back up singers and excellent guitar work. This is one of his latest that came out a few months ago.
❤ #ren Shared 🔥 He love's the reaction community sharing & reacting to his music 🎶 💕 Ren is 6' 1" hes a big boi 😉 All Ren songs are amazing but my fav's right now is dominos, Fred again mash up & back on 74/msg in a btl.. oh you should do Children of the mood, creepy vibes 💀🖤
Children of the Moon is like his emo phase and it is pretty fun. I promise you all this, if/when my daughter gets married, I am going to dance with her at the reception and the song will be Patience by Ren, it means that much to me, and reminds me so much of her
Look at the dates too. Released in 2019. James (Screech) was 14 years old. Violet’s tale starts with “London city, far from pretty, 2005.” 2019-2005 = 14. The twins were 14, and their mother died at their birth. They didn’t know the mother, and the father wasn’t present. Genetics and generational trauma.
I'm commenting at the start of Violets Tale ("the anticipation is killing me") just to tell you that it's killing me too to see your reaction when you find out who Violet is :D This is the first reaction from you I see but I'm loving it so far, so smart and enthusiastic! Subbed! Also: love your cap XD Much love from Vienna!
Go back to some of his early stuff with his band, The Big Push, busking on the streets of Brighton. I Shot The Sheriff, gives you even more of an example of his genre bending versatility .
Hi there you need to do Ren's bans The Big Push . It's a busking video filmed in Brighton,England it's a cover/mash up,I shot the sheriff/road to Zion/hip-hop.its the one where Ren is wearing red bracers or as you call them suspenders it's fun and amazing😊
Great reaction!! Well, a 14 year old from a bad upbringing, not taught how to handle emotions, and he's that killed someone, most of us would probably lose it completely in that situation when rejected and not finding a safe space. Poor kid :(
Great reaction. It was a lot of fun. You're good at this reaction thing. 😂😂😢. I would love to see your reaction to some of Ren's new stuff. Back on 74 /Message in a Bottle Retake is a totally different Ren. It's so good. He's got a lot of great tracks on his last album. Ren's old band The Big Push is it's own Rabbit Hole.
My current favs are Genesis and Seven Sins (lyric video). But to show his versatility, I'd also agree with suggestions of his band The Big Push, either War Pigs, or I shot the sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip hop (the video where Ren is wearing red suspenders), both from the same busking set.
Great reaction to this trilogy by Ren. His performance was Epic!! First time I watched the video, I was emotionally disturbed, especially Violet’s Tale. After Hi Ren, it’s the Tales that’s the top of my favorites. NEXT: The Big Push band mashup covers: Bob Marley’s “I Shot The Sheriff”, Damian Marley’s, “Road To Zion”, DJ Luck/MC Neat’s “Little Bit of Luck” & Dead Prez’s “Hip Hop”. It’s a busking classic. Ren is wearing red suspenders in this video.
Subbed homie! So you’ve said “Losing it” a few times in your Ren reactions, so therefore I submit that your next one should be…Ren - Losin’ It (Fisher Rap Remix) 🔥👍🏼🎤

Next Rensday you mean 😂 I personally like to see an artists beginnings to get an idea of their progress. Good news is, Rens early recordings are also great. Nothing is like the other, maybe theme wise, but each song sounds different. He’s been talented for a while. The Big Push, his old band are all super talented as well. That’s a fun journey. Also his collaborations with various talented artists, male and female. It’s all good. All of it.

Ren is a modern day bard painting such vivid imagery with his storytelling that it pulls you in and forces you to keep watching - even when it gets physically uncomfortable during Violet’s Tale. And Ren uses this ability to shed light on far too real issues in the world. Ren is special. Anyway great reaction! Now you get to wait in eager anticipation with the rest of us, cause Ren has said that he and his cinematographer Sam have plans to film a pilot to pitch to Netflix when Ren has finished treatments in Canada. All we know is that it will be in the same raw style as this trilogy, but that is enough for me to say that if Netflix doesn’t give Ren his own show, they are fools 😂
As a suggestion i would make a Ren playlist, fantastic reaction 👍👍 as a suggestion....Ren and Sam Tompkins ..Earned it/mans world or Humble ft Eden Nash but to be honest anything you choose will be awesome and a must is his i million subscribers video he addresses the UA-cam reaction community.😊....Ren has another UA-cam channel called ren makes stuff.. Harry Mack does a tribute to Ren and it's 🧠💥anyhoo hope that helps ✌️
❤❤❤DEFINITELY DO "LOSING IT FISCHER RETAKE" YOU GOTTA DO IT NEXT LOL BECAUSE HOW LOUD AND CLEAR YOU SAID HE'S LOSING IT!!!!!❤❤❤ HUGS from ND. Also is that your song in the intro? I absolutely love that music it brings me back to living in Cali. Side note- do the videos hoe you want to, if you want to pause do it. Ppl who don't like are free to go somewhere else my friend just be you.
Thank you for being, i believe the 2nd reactor ive seen in over a year get that thetes a person sitting on the balcony in jennys tale. No one ever gets that but they always remark how awesome it would be seeing someones reaction tobthat scenario lol. Just look up in act 1 😊
Fine reaction. You’ll enjoy most anything Ren does. I suggest three of Ren’s work: Crutch, Animal Flow or Genesis. You’ll do the Money Game trilogy too, of course. Enjoy!
When you said domestic violence bothers u more that horror movies, I yelled at the screen "stop watching sweetie!", lol. I wanted to protect u from what was coming but u handled it like a pro! Greatly story, great reaction! Looking forward to whatever Ren u choose next 😊
Okay, I did not hear the intro in the last video and I LOVE it! 😅🫶 7:05 Disclaimer-I suck at waiting to comment until I’ve watched the entire thing. 😅 So, there was this amazing reactor to this song who was a therapist and I loved her analysis. She said that Screech showcases trauma and only knows how to express his needs in unusual ways and when those needs aren’t met, he has the trauma response of violence. And she also said, “Silence feels like a threat to those who are violent because then all that is left for them is their wound.” I think that explains why he became aggressive so quickly.
Yeah definately Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla next another step to discover Rens true versatility, then maybe some with Ren's band The Big Push they kill it for sure
You were following along very well until you questioned what the point of Violet's tale was. Very nice recovery from that detour once you caught on that she wasn’t dead yet. Every reactor catches the guitar rewind, but very few catch the fast forward after the beating. Don't beat yourself up about it... Screech will take care of it.
New subscriber and Ren fan here. I love your running commentary throughout the videos. The only thing I would suggest is to make your screen of the videos a little bigger as it is cutting off some of the content. Have a good one. ❤
If you are truly a fan of Halloween and all things horror related, the logical choice for your next reaction to Ren should be Children of the Moon. All I will give away is that he pays homage to the genre. On a side note, I believe it is also the first time that he and his friend/DP/co-director Samuel Perry-Falvey worked together. Hopefully the Renegades will up-vote this! Cheers.
Some takeaways on this trilogy, one theme is generational trauma. In Screech's tale, he opens with "the story it starts, just as it ends," then alludes back to Jenny's tale. But as he closes, he says, "the story it ends, just as it starts." To me, that encapsulates the cycle of violence. Violet, in her tale, comes to personify that very cycle. Instead of Ren having to spell out that cycle, Violet lives it. Childhood sexual abuse leaves her vulnerable to sexual violence and domestic abuse in the adult world. In Violet you see, in her traumatized self-silencing, the seeds of Jenny, who also freezes when cornered. Similarly, you can see in his grandfather (perhaps father?) and in Stevie, the seeds of Screech And we can't forget, in separating the twins and placing them in different homes, all the adults, and the state acting on behalf of those babies, all fail them miserably. The very circumstances that placed both 14 year-olds in a London alley in "2 zero one nine" make obvious that those placements in those homes, and allowing them to stay there or not intervening before they became runaways, or even since they became runaways, that fault lays.with society itself. At 14, as a child of the streets, Screech is a predator surviving by mugging people. His twin, on the other hand, is surviving on sex work or survival sex, dragging her tired feet home in high-heeled shoes. At age 14, the kind of home she is so desperate to return to, if only to sleep, that we are left only to imagine. Yet we know clearly, that if she wishes to escape, then surely, in at least one way, she feels trapped. We are tempted, especially as survivors viewing all this, to condemn Ren for acting out these brutal men as they terrorize women, but upon reflection we can't help but realize the social commentary he's performing. By the time he spits out his last "far from pretty," we realize he's crying out for a way to break this cycle that isn't as brutal as one member of the family line literally murdering and ending that family line. Yet we know either that family line, or the dysfunction fueling it, one of them must end for all this trauma to stop repeating itself. Like Jenny, we are frozen in denial, not wanting to see or think about any of it, wanting it all to end and needing to know how it will end. Because it must end. So, even as it seems to glorify violence, in the end it's holding a mirror to us, showing us the violence we create when we ignore social problems and allow them to fester. Sentencing so many, by accident of birth, to deep, structural poverty that must exist if we are to insist that some be afforded great wealth, that seems to be the deepest cry out/call out to end the violence by targeting its root causes.
I mean this kindly… if you talk and speculate while he’s playing you’ll sometimes miss the sense and have to post-produce with the “I missed…” There’s a lot to be said for listening then pausing then commenting. It gives time to absorb meaning and it allows a smoother experience for the viewer who will also be missing stuff because you’re talking..
Appreciate this feedback. I get this comment every video. I'll continue to do what feels natural to me as a music lover. I usually pause to talk when there's a lot going on lyrically.
Ren is amazing and appreciates the reaction community whether you have a few subscribers or a million. Each reactor brings his music forward. You are actually the first that I can recall that addressed the fact that Ren is looking right at the camera when Screech. Yes, Ren put the separate videos into one long video so people could view them at one time in the correct order. He took a hit on the original video counts when he did that for us. If I may make a suggestion with Ren videos, when you stop to talk about the video go back about 10 seconds before resuming. Ren packs a bunch into his songs and you can miss things if you just resume the video. You hit most of the points. Yes, Jenny and Screech are twins, therefore they are both 14 years old. You might wonder why Jenny did not come across as a girl to Screech (says Jenny was a lady which indicates an adult woman) and why was she walking the streets in high-heeled shoes late at night. However Ren meant the original age of Jenny when he wrote that song, with the Tale of Violet it speaks to generational violence and abuse. My suggestions, if you want something lighthearted, is Uninvited from the Sick Boi album. Otherwise Seven Sins is a good one.
Yeah, his work is *so* lyrically dense; so often there's no pause before he hurtles into the next part of the lyrics, and for however much stuff, there's not even a chorus or hook where you might be able to catch your breath and collect your desperately racing thoughts... And he almost never puts "filler" lyrics in; there's almost always important info in each line.
Hey man, I’m assuming the music at the beginning of your vids is your band. You should check out this band called Something Corporate, if you haven’t heard of them already, I think you’d dig them. For Ren’s stuff, you should check out a song called Patience which was featured in a documentary. I don’t see a ton of reactions on it, so it could be a nice stand out for you. Anyway, great reaction, really enjoying your channel. Keep up the good work.
You caught a lot. One thing that is harder to catch the farther from the original release of the first videos, is the line, "London City, far from pretty, 2-0-0-5." It's not so hard to figure out that is a year, but if you know that they were released back in 2019, then you might realize that Violet's Tale takes place 14 years prior to Jenny and Screech meeting. Also, every time he recites the "London City" line, he's angrier than the last until he's nearly spitting the words on the final recitation. My understanding is that he wrote the trilogy after coming across an article in the paper about a 14-year-old boy stabbing a woman and being shot by police and being upset that such a human tragedy was buried in the middle of the paper and not more prominent. Supposedly the line, "It's such a shame" is a quote from some official. He practiced the guitar parts until they were muscle memory so that when it came time to film each video he could concentrate on walking and singing and not worry about the playing.
Not sure of your age… your certainly younger than me but if you’re familiar with Warren G’s regulate.. I got sense in “the tale of Jenny” opens with a similar vibe both in cadence and even lyrically.. just curious on your thoughts ?! Great reaction!!
WITCHER? sorry but thats Gilligan Isaland or the tale of Moby Dick "sit right back as I tell you a tale" I think sticking with computers is your best course
The sections without lyrics are not free time for you to talk over. They're some of the best parts. You're missing out. :) Also, if you rewind a little, after pausing, you won't miss anything. :) You're missing so much by talking over it. If you have something worthwhile to say, pause it, with a rewind, then you won't miss so much. :)

And there are many, many more but this is a start.
Ren is a modern day bard painting such vivid imagery with his storytelling that it pulls you in and forces you to keep watching - even when it gets physically uncomfortable during Violet’s Tale. And Ren uses this ability to shed light on far too real issues in the world. Ren is special.
Anyway great reaction! Now you get to wait in eager anticipation with the rest of us, cause Ren has said that he and his cinematographer Sam have plans to film a pilot to pitch to Netflix when Ren has finished treatments in Canada. All we know is that it will be in the same raw style as this trilogy, but that is enough for me to say that if Netflix doesn’t give Ren his own show, they are fools 😂
As a suggestion i would make a Ren playlist, fantastic reaction 👍👍 as a suggestion....Ren and Sam Tompkins ..Earned it/mans world or Humble ft Eden Nash but to be honest anything you choose will be awesome and a must is his i million subscribers video he addresses the UA-cam reaction community.😊....Ren has another UA-cam channel called ren makes stuff.. Harry Mack does a tribute to Ren and it's 🧠💥anyhoo hope that helps ✌️
❤❤❤DEFINITELY DO "LOSING IT FISCHER RETAKE" YOU GOTTA DO IT NEXT LOL BECAUSE HOW LOUD AND CLEAR YOU SAID HE'S LOSING IT!!!!!❤❤❤ HUGS from ND. Also is that your song in the intro? I absolutely love that music it brings me back to living in Cali. Side note- do the videos hoe you want to, if you want to pause do it. Ppl who don't like are free to go somewhere else my friend just be you.
Thank you for being, i believe the 2nd reactor ive seen in over a year get that thetes a person sitting on the balcony in jennys tale. No one ever gets that but they always remark how awesome it would be seeing someones reaction tobthat scenario lol. Just look up in act 1 😊
Next up should be "The Hunger"
This was too fun to watch! If you love Halloween, you gotta watch Ren's Children of the Moon!!
Fine reaction. You’ll enjoy most anything Ren does. I suggest three of Ren’s work: Crutch, Animal Flow or Genesis. You’ll do the Money Game trilogy too, of course. Enjoy!
I'm an American so I don't know but have seen posts that in the UK, John and Jane Doe are James and Jennifer.
Every time Ren has the guitar 🎸 it’s a one take and most of his videos are also , he plays numerous instruments , all genres and does his own beats
Luke and Leía - cool. Hadn’t heard it described like that before great reaction
When you said domestic violence bothers u more that horror movies, I yelled at the screen "stop watching sweetie!", lol. I wanted to protect u from what was coming but u handled it like a pro! Greatly story, great reaction! Looking forward to whatever Ren u choose next 😊
Okay, I did not hear the intro in the last video and I LOVE it! 😅🫶
7:05 Disclaimer-I suck at waiting to comment until I’ve watched the entire thing. 😅 So, there was this amazing reactor to this song who was a therapist and I loved her analysis. She said that Screech showcases trauma and only knows how to express his needs in unusual ways and when those needs aren’t met, he has the trauma response of violence. And she also said, “Silence feels like a threat to those who are violent because then all that is left for them is their wound.” I think that explains why he became aggressive so quickly.
❤
Chalk Outlines ✌🇨🇦 My next suggestion after that is The Hunger.
Ren fan here and I subscribed. Sorry I was one who watched and didn't sub last ren reaction.
According to the internet, REN is 6’ 1” 😊
Confirmed via a Twitch stream. I asked and he answered! ❤
That means he would "look up" to me...literally😂
@@KidVisionReacts how tall are you??
@@francesdoll4039 Just 6' 2" lolol
@@KidVisionReacts I was honestly shook when he answered me. I thought he was like 5’8”. Lol
Money Game trilogy with 2 being the lyric version! Great reaction to the Tales of Jenny and Screech ❤
The first 2 are out already!
Yeah definately Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla next another step to discover Rens true versatility, then maybe some with Ren's band The Big Push they kill it for sure
Money game part 1,2 and 3❤
You were following along very well until you questioned what the point of Violet's tale was. Very nice recovery from that detour once you caught on that she wasn’t dead yet. Every reactor catches the guitar rewind, but very few catch the fast forward after the beating. Don't beat yourself up about it... Screech will take care of it.
New subscriber and Ren fan here. I love your running commentary throughout the videos. The only thing I would suggest is to make your screen of the videos a little bigger as it is cutting off some of the content.
Have a good one. ❤
You make me so frustrated because of your ignorance of Ren's history and talents, but i'm having so much fun and pleasure watching your discoveries.
You caught it!
"The Hunger " does not disappoint
For a bit of funny horror vibe please try Rens CHILDREN OF THE MOON 🎉😅🎵🎶🔥🤌🙏✌️🐝🍀
I'd do Chalk Outlines next, then The BIg Push's "I Shot The Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip-Hop"
Don’t worry you are one of the many 100’s of people who has said “who’s violet” 🤣
You mean all of them, except a few not paying attention. 😂 T-shirt.."Who TF is Violet".
If you are truly a fan of Halloween and all things horror related, the logical choice for your next reaction to Ren should be Children of the Moon. All I will give away is that he pays homage to the genre. On a side note, I believe it is also the first time that he and his friend/DP/co-director Samuel Perry-Falvey worked together. Hopefully the Renegades will up-vote this! Cheers.
My vote is to take a walk on the lighter side of Ren with a song that also highlights his versatility. Love Music Part 1.
Love Music part 1 is a great suggestion! 👍
🔥
Some takeaways on this trilogy, one theme is generational trauma. In Screech's tale, he opens with "the story it starts, just as it ends," then alludes back to Jenny's tale. But as he closes, he says, "the story it ends, just as it starts." To me, that encapsulates the cycle of violence. Violet, in her tale, comes to personify that very cycle.
Instead of Ren having to spell out that cycle, Violet lives it. Childhood sexual abuse leaves her vulnerable to sexual violence and domestic abuse in the adult world. In Violet you see, in her traumatized self-silencing, the seeds of Jenny, who also freezes when cornered. Similarly, you can see in his grandfather (perhaps father?) and in Stevie, the seeds of Screech
And we can't forget, in separating the twins and placing them in different homes, all the adults, and the state acting on behalf of those babies, all fail them miserably. The very circumstances that placed both 14 year-olds in a London alley in "2 zero one nine" make obvious that those placements in those homes, and allowing them to stay there or not intervening before they became runaways, or even since they became runaways, that fault lays.with society itself.
At 14, as a child of the streets, Screech is a predator surviving by mugging people. His twin, on the other hand, is surviving on sex work or survival sex, dragging her tired feet home in high-heeled shoes. At age 14, the kind of home she is so desperate to return to, if only to sleep, that we are left only to imagine. Yet we know clearly, that if she wishes to escape, then surely, in at least one way, she feels trapped.
We are tempted, especially as survivors viewing all this, to condemn Ren for acting out these brutal men as they terrorize women, but upon reflection we can't help but realize the social commentary he's performing. By the time he spits out his last "far from pretty," we realize he's crying out for a way to break this cycle that isn't as brutal as one member of the family line literally murdering and ending that family line.
Yet we know either that family line, or the dysfunction fueling it, one of them must end for all this trauma to stop repeating itself. Like Jenny, we are frozen in denial, not wanting to see or think about any of it, wanting it all to end and needing to know how it will end.
Because it must end.
So, even as it seems to glorify violence, in the end it's holding a mirror to us, showing us the violence we create when we ignore social problems and allow them to fester. Sentencing so many, by accident of birth, to deep, structural poverty that must exist if we are to insist that some be afforded great wealth, that seems to be the deepest cry out/call out to end the violence by targeting its root causes.
I mean this kindly… if you talk and speculate while he’s playing you’ll sometimes miss the sense and have to post-produce with the “I missed…” There’s a lot to be said for listening then pausing then commenting. It gives time to absorb meaning and it allows a smoother experience for the viewer who will also be missing stuff because you’re talking..
Appreciate this feedback. I get this comment every video. I'll continue to do what feels natural to me as a music lover. I usually pause to talk when there's a lot going on lyrically.
time for a fun ren song next!! :)
Ren is amazing and appreciates the reaction community whether you have a few subscribers or a million. Each reactor brings his music forward. You are actually the first that I can recall that addressed the fact that Ren is looking right at the camera when Screech. Yes, Ren put the separate videos into one long video so people could view them at one time in the correct order. He took a hit on the original video counts when he did that for us.
If I may make a suggestion with Ren videos, when you stop to talk about the video go back about 10 seconds before resuming. Ren packs a bunch into his songs and you can miss things if you just resume the video.
You hit most of the points. Yes, Jenny and Screech are twins, therefore they are both 14 years old. You might wonder why Jenny did not come across as a girl to Screech (says Jenny was a lady which indicates an adult woman) and why was she walking the streets in high-heeled shoes late at night. However Ren meant the original age of Jenny when he wrote that song, with the Tale of Violet it speaks to generational violence and abuse.
My suggestions, if you want something lighthearted, is Uninvited from the Sick Boi album. Otherwise Seven Sins is a good one.
Yeah, his work is *so* lyrically dense; so often there's no pause before he hurtles into the next part of the lyrics, and for however much stuff, there's not even a chorus or hook where you might be able to catch your breath and collect your desperately racing thoughts...
And he almost never puts "filler" lyrics in; there's almost always important info in each line.
Ren got the idea for Jenny tale from a new paper he read about a 14 year old boy killing a young streetwalker with a knife
Money game 1-3
Nice. Subbed
I think you should do "Everybody drops" or "Heretic" next.
Hey man, I’m assuming the music at the beginning of your vids is your band. You should check out this band called Something Corporate, if you haven’t heard of them already, I think you’d dig them. For Ren’s stuff, you should check out a song called Patience which was featured in a documentary. I don’t see a ton of reactions on it, so it could be a nice stand out for you. Anyway, great reaction, really enjoying your channel. Keep up the good work.
Yes it is, but I'm a solo artist! I will definitely take not of that💯
You caught a lot.
One thing that is harder to catch the farther from the original release of the first videos, is the line, "London City, far from pretty, 2-0-0-5." It's not so hard to figure out that is a year, but if you know that they were released back in 2019, then you might realize that Violet's Tale takes place 14 years prior to Jenny and Screech meeting. Also, every time he recites the "London City" line, he's angrier than the last until he's nearly spitting the words on the final recitation.
My understanding is that he wrote the trilogy after coming across an article in the paper about a 14-year-old boy stabbing a woman and being shot by police and being upset that such a human tragedy was buried in the middle of the paper and not more prominent. Supposedly the line, "It's such a shame" is a quote from some official.
He practiced the guitar parts until they were muscle memory so that when it came time to film each video he could concentrate on walking and singing and not worry about the playing.
Such a clever way to depict the cycles of generational violence.
For sure you need to do the money game trilogy but maybe first do chalk outlines with Ren and Chinchilla then "how to be me" also Ren and chinchilla
Yor not the first to think violet was the girl friend new sub uk
Also: Go Sherry XD
💯😂
Sherry gets to go down in history as a part of a Trilogy reaction!
Pretty cool little badge, in a way.
in Screech tale when he make phone she busy because she with Patrick that why he never answer the door
Whee! :)
Attention span of a gnat! lol. :)
Ren is ewrythng 🪄🎼✨💯
🤘😊👍💙🇫🇮
at the start of Jenny tale Ren is beatboxing trumpet
Oh yes this trilogy left me broken for a while and it reminds me that dispite a rough upbringing people could have it worse then you.
The trilogy of Money Game.
Not sure of your age… your certainly younger than me but if you’re familiar with Warren G’s regulate.. I got sense in “the tale of Jenny” opens with a similar vibe both in cadence and even lyrically.. just curious on your thoughts ?! Great reaction!!
WITCHER? sorry but thats Gilligan Isaland or the tale of Moby Dick "sit right back as I tell you a tale" I think sticking with computers is your best course
I vote money game part 3
The sections without lyrics are not free time for you to talk over. They're some of the best parts. You're missing out. :)
Also, if you rewind a little, after pausing, you won't miss anything. :)
You're missing so much by talking over it. If you have something worthwhile to say, pause it, with a rewind, then you won't miss so much. :)
Time for money game trilogy
17:53 what was meant by THIS?! I'm so confused...he didn't FORGET the guitar, he just wasn't using at that moment.wth?! 🤷🏻♀️ lol.
Yeah it was a joke
He combined the videos into one because viewing out of order looses the effect
She had a scared feeling or divine intervention was her twin was close
