"Is he a rapper? Is he a singer?" ... He's everything. Actor, storyteller, rapper, singer, performer, poet, minstrel/bard. Just everything. Edited because I forgot to add philosopher.
Hahaha YES! Ren is ART
He is BARD of the NEW AGE :)
healer, role model also...
he is Ren
It's truly without label, peer, or definition.
Having been obsessively trawling the internet for a couple of weeks now, looking for reactions to this piece of artwork, I can say that I have found about 30 reactors I'd never heard of. This in addition to the many I already watch who have posted their reactions to this. Out of those dozens, only about 3 were a disappointment, and they were predominantly vocal coaches who couldn't stop focusing on how he sang in order to listen to WHAT he sang.
You got it from the very beginning, and I truly enjoyed watching this reaction video. You are, in fact, one of the first to make it a point to praise his acting skills so highly, though a few others have made off-hand comments about it. No one yet has made much comment about the set itself, which seems to lend itself so perfectly to the feel of this piece. Or about how he didn't "resolve" the final note of the guitar accompaniment, though it gets my attention every time.
I also read 90% of the comments other people leave on the reaction videos, so I've learned a huge amount of background info on Ren's problems and the misdiagnosis that has damaged him so much. One of his sung lines, "I've stood in the fire that cremated my brain" is a powerful reference to the actual physical damage he's taken from the years of wrong medical treatment.
Thank you for your contribution to the understanding of this piece of brilliance.
I belive it because if you can do this it not an act. He is BARES you his inner mental battle,war of self, you can not contact express that the way he dose unless you been lost trying to scale the pit back to your shreded soul to stich yourself back together as human being not the controstct of what is social considered a productive member of society thefucked and selfish priorities are distance from our needs and nature. Imo 😊
The misdiagnosis is the link to political division, I should feel that as my interption.
Not diagnosing people right, costs lives, leaves people bedbound, steals your life.
It's a battle 😡 😢
The lights flicker at the end when he is singing/rejoicing showing they merged. Ren can never get rid of the doubt side, but learned to live with it.
Also why he doesnt play the last chord. The song never ends. Its an internal dance
Yep feels like they're singing together rather than any one voice singing alone, which was how the initial singing was interrupted
And he is integrating it all and triumphing , it’s more coordinated and powerful .
There is a huge Ren rabbit hole for you to dive into. Old stuff and new stuff. More comments and viewers I am sure will offer suggestions and requests. Today I will leave my ideas blank, just so you can make you our decisions. This is an artist that can not be ignored!
Great take. I suggested The Tales trilogy, but even as I was typing it, I was thinking of Chalk Outlines, Money Games (both), Genesis, the one with the smoke bombs (memory fails me) and many others including his work with The Big Push.
I found this song last night and ive spent hours watching all these reations. He has absolutely captivated millions of people with these peace of art.
If you are struggling just know you are not alone and we will survive and prosper !!! We are hope !!!
You obviously have a LOT of music knowledge and a deep appreciation for art. Thank you for this heartfelt reaction.
I'm sure others will comment, but Ren lost a friend to suicide and has written at least two songs about him. Both are gorgeous. Freckled Angels and How to Be Me (Ren x Chinchilla Live).
I dont have a ton of music knowledge, but I've played to sax for 15 years and have been obsessed with music that long or longer. I dont consider myself an expert, but I appreciate your kind words! 🙏
“Precious” is also a beautiful song Ren wrote about grief. There are a few versions with his band, The Big Push, on UA-cam.
Thanks for a thoughtful and compassionate review. I have watched hundreds of 1st reactions to Ren and the amazing thing is that in approx. 50% of these, the reactor(s) start to talk about their experiences or those of relatives/friends. These reactors cross all age groups, (human) races, national boundaries and genders. This is so important and I believe that Ren is a true genius for being the facilitator for this to happen and it will spread.
i dont want to sound esotheric but his song gonna help us transform first ourselfes and with it ,the world , evenso we will be not alive to see the second,...
@doogmann That kinda depends on how old we are now. There's always hope even if the transformation of the world seems like the most unlikely and impossible thing imaginable.
There I go, talking myself out of my own comment again...
Same here (but am on dozens of Hi Ren reaction watches thus far and keeping going). Perfectly articulated, Mikey. I agree 100%!
DITTO!
This is one of those few songs where the power of true art is shown in it's purest form.
This is just the beginning. Ren is a spectacular talent.
Great reaction, man! Sorry you lost a friend to suicide. Ren has a song (w/Chinchilla) called How to Be Me, which is about losing a friend like that. You might want to check it out. Pick the live version or do a double reaction with both versions. If that topic is too tough for you, I understand. Just thought I’d mention it.
It’s even more impressive when you realize it’s live done in a single take (on the fourth take apparently)
I'm sorry to hear about your best friend... Thanks for sharing such a personal experience with us.
Never ever feel the need to apologize for becoming emotional over this man.. we ALL have done it... and his message hits home for pretty much everyone that wayches..
Ren has changed my life and I'm nearly 70. He make me cry every time I listen to him. Ren is a genius, teacher, therapist and life creator. I am in awe of his music.
YESSSSS! I've been waiting for someone to notice that the lights are only flickering when the darker side is speaking. So many reactions, so few picked up on it. If you look at the floor, you'll see there are also two shadows.... one darker than the other. Incredible attention to detail. Did you also notice in his singing at the very end, your ear is looking for a final note that doesn't come? Like it's not over... I think that's on purpose, the eternal dance... the vocal leaves you waiting for that last "ooooh" there. I vote you go down the Ren rabbit hole....
I saw a "cinematographer reacts". He had a lot of interesting insights regarding the camera work and lights etc.
I’ve seen way too many reactions to this, over 50 and some have noticed the lights during the song but he is the only reactor that noticed the lights were still flickering at the end. A lot of reactors think he’s won the battle, but that is not how this all works, he has integrated his “shadow consciousness.” (Carl Jung, psychiatrist, philosopher). It’s just like you said, the song doesn’t finalize, it’s an eternal dance. They have to work together, but the hopeful Ren has to have the strength to not let the shadow overtake him while also not fighting against it and remembering to relax.
I've watched Hi Ren at least 40 times now and never noticed the shadows. Thank you! The shadows tell the story of the last part of the song as well as the music.
@@Beckaj5446I saw this, too, but I hadn’t worked out how to articulate it. Thank you.
“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 (Parts 1, 2, and 3),” “Crucify Your Culture,” “Power,” and his latest release, “Bittersweet symphony (The Verve retake).”
As I recently discovered, Ren also recorded a cover of “Can't Help Falling In Love (Elvis Cover),” that is simply beautiful. Then there are his performances with Sam Tompkins (“Blind Eyed,” “Earned it /Mans World / Falling,” “Walking on the moon/No Diggity”), Eden Nash (“Humble,” “Ocean”), Bibi (“Crutch,” “Ahiahiaoha”), Molly McKinna (“Penitence”), his former bandmate, Romain Axisa (“French Song”), which 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,” “Sweet Little Lady," "It's Alright," "Watch Out," “Dignity,” 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.
Beautiful reaction! There are so many Ren videos to choose from but I highly recommend Ren's "The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full)", "Ren X Chinchilla - How To Be Me (live)" and, for something in a completely different lane, Ren's band: "The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff / Road to Zion / Hip Hop" busking session.
I found this song today and Ive been binge watching reaction videos to it. Your reaction is by far my favourite. I like the way you break the song down and I'm happy that you take the time to talk about mental health issues. Im sorry for your loss. My brother commited sui last year before christmas and ive been struggling ever since. I hope everyone that's lost someone can find hope and peace.
Subbed! Keep up the great work ❤
Ren has also lost a good friend to suicide.
The song with Chinchilla How to me(?) is about his loss.
Check out his busking in the uk, great voice. Multi instrumentalist, too.
The jenny/screech/Violet trilogy (full version) sung live, is masterful
His song suicide is to his friend as well and he named a song and album freckled angel after him as well
I think ending with his oooo's and feeling triumphant that there is the other side fighting against it. Just a thought.
I like your vibe brother. Liked and subscribed in under 2 minutes.
Edit: personally I like reactors who pause when the have something to say. And you definitely do. My opinion is that if people want to watch the song uninterrupted they can go do that.
Edit 2: Samuel Perry-Falvey is the cinematographer of this with Ren as director and editor, I believe. They make a fantastic team.
gettin emotional on this is nothing u hav to apologize. It only lights up ur an feelin human being
Thank you so much for your reaction, thoughts and emotions. I was avoiding this song for very long time (don't know why) and I am happy that I took the journey with you.
My pleasure! And I'm honored!
If you are not emotional by the end of this you don’t feel. Never apologize for being human much love to you and your wife thank you for sharing ❤
your tiny channel is huge!!!
The greatest part of this song is that it's not only amazing but also the reaction videos from people exploring and portraying understanding of this song and video. The ability the video has to open a dialogue for everybody is truly incredible.
Seriously, this is a brilliant piece of work by Ren. You say you don’t like to pause too often yet here you are taking 26+ minutes to go through it!
While I was editing, I caught so much more that I would have liked to point out. It honestly is a work of art!
Subscriber straight away mate love your attitude and views my girl is still suffering anxiety and depression to see her go through it everyday kills me and this song gave me a stronger understanding of her battle keep supporting your wife were there rocks even though we also break love to you brother
seen a lot of reactions to hi ren this week and this was one of the more insightful ones. I dont get how you only have 880 subs. you got one more now :)
Ren is a modern street Bard and he seems to be huge in Bristol, I believe Sam Tomkins filmed it you can meet him in Rens video 'Power' excellent Reaction Panda me lad you earned a sub from me, i like your style.
Thank you for your kind words! 🙏
You're only the 2nd person that's mentioned that gorgeous room reverb when he stops singing. Congrats!!
Awesome reaction, thank you.
Everything about this masterpiece is outstanding, notice the lighting casting two shadows?
This needs to be part of every high school curriculum.
Just came across this, awesome reaction! Did you know he did this entire video in a single take? The man is a genius.
honestly one of the best reviews of content ive seen so far. very insightful breakdowns of each aspect. got a new subscriber in me and many others if they know what an actual reactor is.
The "melting pot" phenomenon you speak of has been going on for some time, though it does seem to be accelerating. A scary but exciting time to be on this planet! Been here since 1951 and it keeps on getting scarier but more exciting. Best of luck with your channel; you have a good vibe. Be Cool.
thank you for your reaction. I find some people react as if its whats expected of them. You came across as a nice human being. Hope you continue to be you. Your wife and friends are lucky to have you around. hugs
Dude, such a great review - I love seeing reactions from people with a technical understanding of music and singing to break down for us plebeians, I love hearing about the nuance in diminished cords and vocal tones vs just vaping and making faces is refreshing. Subscribed!
Would love to see your take on the Tale of Jenny and screech (trilogy)… dark and incredible storytelling with amazing guitar work
Also check out the Big Push, Rens singing range is absolutely nuts, he’s a once in a generation phenom.
Absolutely to everything you said!
He was offered a Sony deal but came down sick with Lyme disease -he is going through lots of surgeries and hospitalization
This has been one of my favourite reactions to this song, you say your a small channel, but dude... you get the music.
Edit::
Also, listen to his songs "Depression" and... well actually all of them!
keep it going man. you poped the 1k easy already! ^^
love your reaction and thanks for recommending mike love!
Loved your reaction...greetings from South Africa.
Great reaction…good ears on you too recognizing the diminished chords…REN is crazy good….check out Jennys Tale trilogy! You’ll love it.
Loved your reaction, Thankyou very much. We all subscribed. Please do Jenny and screeches tale, full version. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
I've watched endless amounts of reactions to this song and you were the only one to call the jimmy hendrix, was cool to watch and overall this is one of the more enjoyable reviews I've seen.
The cinematographer is www.youtube.com/@SamuelPerryFalvey.
I just found Ren a few days ago and Im completely hooked. Great reaction, luv! Keep posting, keep sharing, and keep up the awesome content! 🥰❤
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙏 and for the info!
Parking lot panda: "I'm a small channel"
Me: (instantly likes and subscribes)
I have seen COUNTLESS reactions to this song and many others from Ren; your's was FANTASTIC. You were so thoughtful and respectful. Thank you. And thank you also for sharing a part of yourself and the struggles of your loved ones. I wish you and them both, PEACE. 😎
First off, don't EVER apologize for being emotional. I have been watching dozens of reactions to this song and you are not alone...not by a longshot. I don't know anyone who can't relate to the content here. You may say you're a small channel but, honestly, by my viewing the reactions to this song, I am finding NEW channels to which I'm subscribing (including yours...and probably 20 more) so, while you are getting HIS content/genius out to others, it is reciprocal.
GREAT reaction and you will grow your channel! Peace.
Love the breakdown, you're getting a sub. Though one might say I'm a bit biased.
Thanks for the kind words! 🙏 and us pandas gotta stick together!
Awesome reaction. As an almost 50 year old man, it’s one of the best songs I have ever witnessed in my life. Your reaction mirrored my own. I appreciate your honest reaction…. I felt your reaction as you went through it.
I happened to come across your reaction to “The System” from Tom MacDonald, went to your channel to find your reaction to “Watch The World Burn” from Falling In Reverse, then moved on to this reaction. I subscribed. I completely agree that artists that are bending genres are the groundbreakers. I’m 50 years old, I never liked rap until I discovered Tom MacDonald. I absolutely love these artists who are breaking the mold and creating music that’s meaningful. Ren is an amazing gift to our world as well. ❤️
Thanks for your heartfelt reaction. I loved it and I love Ren with all my heart. He is indeed a genius and what he does is real art. I found his music and I respect it. A lot.
alos in the beginning of the video.. when the pig guy rolls him in.. the two lamps cast two different shadows on the floor.. one lighter one darker.. and they are even facing eachother...
Great analysis. Heard one other mention Bo Burnam. If you like him, you’ll be part of a huge and growing community. Ren is an independent artist and is trying to recover in Canada. Some of his music is rap, other not. New subscriber.
He is currently in Canada for long-term medical treatment .
His back story is tragic.
Out of the 50+ reaction videos ive watched, this is by far the best one.
Btw..you have a perfect radio voice!
Also.. never apologize for being emotional 💜
Thank you very much for your kind words! 🙏
@@parkinglotpanda don't apologize for being emotional big heart ♥ big feelings namaste 🙏
Mike Love - best damn Reggae singer and guitarist (and looper)! You have a good ear, man. Edit - you even noticed that lush and voluptuous reverb at the end.
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙏 and yes, Mike Love is the goat when it comes to Reggae!
I liked Panda noticing that at this last singing part the lights are flickering also though his calmer self is singing. If you tie this to that long reverb tail you mentioned: As the tail fades, the lights stay stable again. The tail is like a last breath of his "inner Gollum" that tried to maintain his grip on him by the flickering lights, because his voice had no power anymore to reach him. I guess that's why they put it so clearly audible up front. So many amazing nuggets in this.
Great reaction video. Thanks. Many people have found personal connection with REN through Hi REN.
Subscribed.
There are no winners, there are only losers... instant subscribe.
You elevate yourself above the rest by being simply human.
This is not rap. Not even entirely a song. This art. From the crack of the wall in such the barest setting, from the grip of the guitar, to the tiers of vocal poetry. Poignant message in a peripheral yet real world.
Thank you for normalizing asking for help. Ren is a talent I haven't quite ever seen in 53 years. He resonates.
Honest top 3 reactions to this, and I’ve watched hundreds. You got a sub, a like, and I’m eager to see your reaction to the “Tale trilogy”… great content mate.
I’m not gonna say that Ren has gotten me through a very difficult time in my life, but he is currently assisting me, since I’m still going through it. The clarity that this song has provided me has really been mind-altering. Modern Shakespeare, but better.
That was something I will never forget...thank you 🔥🙏🔥
I LOVED this, you seem genuine and authentic.
New sub 😘💕
Enjoyed watching this with you as this randomly popped up in my feed tonight. I’ve been a fan of REN’s since this song first came out on UA-cam last year. Like you, I just knew… here is a uniquely talented man with heart and soul bringing a needed message that is going to speak to soo many! You spoke of how we are musically in this genre shift…gratefully yes!!! for too long everyone was sounding the same. I found myself wanting to just listen to the older great artists who had their own style. How refreshing to begin hearing these new artists, many breaking out without any representation simply their own creative genius and control. Loving it 🥰. Truly dug all you had to say.
You have no reason to apologize at all friend..you like me and so many others will never forget the first time we heard this. You get blown away
I might be 30 or so views into watching 'HI REN' over these past couple of months...and I STILL laugh with tears at certain points because I understand...and to see soooo many reactioners (is that a word)...react the same way I do.. it all really hits home for me.. im gonna be 42 this year, and never really dealt with my demons... but stuff like this really gives me hope... but yet sometimes I still feel so alone.. like I have to figure it all out myself..
Brother, I knew I had to subscribe as soon as you called out the diminished tonality of the playing! 100% agreed on the end of genre. BTW, for anyone else who reads this, correctly calling out diminished tonality, chromatic progressions, etc., that means this cat KNOWS music! Just my 2 pennies. I'm really glad I found your channel. Keep it up!
Im no expert or vocal coach, but I've played the sax for 15 years and have been obsessed with music that long or longer. I appreciate your kind words! 🙏
@@parkinglotpanda nice! Sax takes a ton of skill. Music is a beautiful thing that unites keep on doing the good and creative work! 🤘🏼
I LOVE watching your videos, cause it seems like you just 'get it' you know?
You have been added to my playlist of the people who respond viscerally to “some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the news on the rope.” The most powerful line in this for me, and a lot of people just gloss past it.
I did not know it at the time, but I HEARD Rens voice about 30 years ago as the voice that loosened the rope. Strnage he was probably not alive yet, but, that voice is still with me today. Thanks Ren. Forever Inspire.
One thing I noticed is the way the spot light are arranged it puts his face in shadow when he personifies the dark half and lights his face on the timid side.
I would suggest one rethink of your final thoughts if I may be so bold, but I mean no rudeness whatsoever... I don't think he's acting even one iota, but rather, he's letting us in completely and without condition. That inner dialog is represented so perfectly, IMHO, that I can't imagine it being anything other than 100% genuine. Just my two cents. Definitely enjoyed your reaction. Cheers!
I hear you bro, this song is just simply astonishing. I have been sharing my music on here and it is hard to do when people have such short memories and need instant gratification. Ren has just came into my radar, and now I am going around watching everyone's reactions. I gave you a sub, thanks for your heartfelt reaction! Ren deserves the adoration he is getting.
It's not acting but is. It is all of his mind, but projection makes him a prominent being. His pain and his struggles forge a beauty we rarely see. Great review babes.
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/independent artist; 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
Sony ought to pay for his treatment. And apologise.
@@janebird723 We wish that they would, but it will never happen. So instead, we help him! He does have an active GoFundMe to help him with his treatments and recovery.
One of the bigger times i can relate these feelings off the top of my head is hurt by johnny cash
Don't doubt yourself, you got one more subscriber and it will keep growing. A lot of the "big" channels have gone from reactive to preaching like theirs are the only important thoughts. I prefer smaller, down to earth reactors. As for Ren, the guy is genius, as is his cinematographer. If you do the Jenny, Screech, Violet trilogy - be sure to do them together and in order.
only 4 mins into this reaction and I sub'd, enjoy your insights!
Thank you so much! 🙏 glad you enjoyed.
What about Jelly Roll and Struggle Jennings? heard of them? Love em both x
Subscribed to support your channel my friend. Great react❤️
Ren is an enigma, havent seen someone who had my jaw on the floor like this for a long long time. Mad skills. All round artist and performer. Next level. GOAT maybe, even
The line he says, I'm the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope. you said the exact same thing I was thinking, many of us have lost friends and loved ones to suicide and we all go threw that moment of blaming ourselves for the loss as our voice was not loud enough to be heard.
Great reaction! Welcome to Ren!!
I loved this reaction. and I loved how you predicted Jimmy Hendrix and Eminem like you had a crystal ball. I'm subscribing to you, you are great at reacting 😊👍
Your attention to detail is really special. I've watched (way too many) people react to Ren, I really enjoy your breakdowns and how well you pick up on things. Looking forward to watching your trip down the Ren Rabbit Hole!
Have a sub...Great reaction. Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. Also, he was unheard of before this song. It was taken in a single take, although it took 3 goes. It's also live. He's what Shakespeare would have been if he existed today.
Ren is the voice of hope for so many of us.
you don't need to apologise for being emotional. Rens work has that effect on almost everybody! i'm truly sorry to hear about your friend. very happy to subscribe.
Liked and subbed! You have a great ear! Trust me, try:
The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full), Chalk Outlines (live) w/Chinchilla, Sick Boi, Money Game 1&2, Power, Genesis, The Hunger, What You Want, Diazepam, Love Song 1,2,3... and keep going. I'll be back for more!
🤘😆
Edit to add: I've watched every single reaction to this song on UA-cam. I also happily watched a 48 minute long reaction to his 2 and a half minute long song Sick Boi. Just so you understand his fans.
Thank you for the kind words and insight! 🙏
Got my sub brother! Your chills confirmed the sub!
Yes thank you that is what I believe he is going to be a voice of hope for a generation. And the lights stayed on!
Welcome to Ren theater 😁 New subscriber. Love your insight, love your reaction and keep up the great work you do.
Your reaction was very refreshing. Thank you. I hope you enjoy much more of Ren.
Every time I see him I see more.he just showed up on my screen one day..looked interesting,so I LOOKED..I LOOKED,and I SAW.and I heard his sweet vocals ...tried to take in all the lyrics. I felt for him.im much older..saw Jimmi Hendrix in '69 Houston...Some day I hope I'll see Ren...maybe not here but in another realm. and so I send love..I know others will be able to offer him support,friendship, companionship. So to you Ren I assure you that there are those who will be able to trust and love and you will become even more than you have hoped for. Love to you and yours..Marcia in Modesto.
One of the best analyses of this work I’ve seen yet, and I’ve seen a lot. Good luck.
Man you were the best reaction channel I've seen so far. I submitted... And gonna submit to Ren right now.
I’ve cried many times to this video.. and I never cry… my mom made sure I thought crying was weak
I appreciate your reaction to this. And due to the thunder and lightning between my own ears, my heart reaches out to you and yours, and I'm a big macho Silverback of a man... and I still get it.
Brilliant reaction.
