A little background. Ren is Welsh (Bangor, North Wales but lives in Brighton, England) and became ill in his late teens and doctors diagnosed mental heal health issues and psychosis and medicated him for that. For 8 years. During that time they could not work out why he was not improving and told him that all his problems were in his head. He was finally and correctly diagnosed 8 years later with Lyme disease - by which time it had ravaged his body making him bed-ridden for 23 hours a day. By the time of his correct diagnosis the damage had been done. He is currently in Canada undergoing treatments including stem cell therapy, to try and repair as much of the damage as they can. The video is a LIVE performance (note the lav mike on his neckline) filmed in ONE take - though it took 4 or 5 attempts. It is told from his direct personal experience.
The Ren rabbit Hole is a deep dive, the hard part is trying not binge watching Rens videos without reacting lol he’s an incredible artist and you will not be disappointed by anything he’s done
Welcome to the wonderful world of ren, where you can always expect the unexpected 😊 he is our modern day bard and a master lyricist and musician! Its a long way down into the rabbit hole alice....see ya at the bottom! 👋😁💜
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just saw your Hi Ren reaction, and put this journal entry of Ren's as my comment to that reaction. jAN 01, 2023 rEN~ Up until I was 9 years old, I would intermittently hear a voice in my head that was not my own. The voice was distinctly different to mine, and always negative. It would self criticize or urge me to do things I knew to be morally wrong. The most peculiar thing about the voice was that it took no effort on my behalf to produce. My own thoughts always felt like there was a process that required effort to bring them to the forefront of my mind, this voice appeared as though it was spoken by another. The sentences felt predetermined like they had already been constructed. I remember very vividly at 9 years old, becoming very frustrated with the voice. I stood in my back yard, internally screaming at the voice to be silent again and again, and it did. In a flash there was silence, to the point where my head felt like an empty room. I wasn't used to the quiet and that voice never returned. It almost felt lonely in my head. When I got older I had intermittent bouts with auditory hallucinations where I would hear perfect symphonies, usually at night when drifting off to sleep. They were so clear that they sounded like they were emanating from a radio in the corner of my room. I knew they weren't there, but for some reason they never came with the feeling of fear. I also recall sitting on a bus at the age of 15, and hearing the sound of a crowded room, with about 100 voices chattering away, I was the only person apart from the driver on the bus. These experiences were always very brief, and few and far between. My last hallucination was during an intense bout of psychosis in 2015, and was my first visual hallucination. I was walking down a pavement after jumping out my mums car in a crossroads in a moment of frustration and distress with my condition. I was trying to run from myself. What appeared to be a homeless man with a dark complexion approached me, and asked me what was wrong. I explained that I had been sick most my life, and I wasn't sure I had the strength to continue. He looked at me, and smiled and told me 'everything is going to be okay in the end Ren.' I had not told him my name. There was something so overpoweringly sincere about this very simple message, which brought with it an overwhelming feeling of inner peace, and in a flash, he vanished. My rational brain always linked these experiences to what the doctors have told me, that there are parts of my brain compromised by the autoimmunity in my body. That the myelin sheaths surrounding the complex electrical system that conduct my thoughts were damaged and compromised, causing these lucid experiences that I knew did not exist inside the physical world. The part of me that edges away from logical and rational thought always attributed these thoughts to some kind of otherworldly intervention, that made my thoughts the battleground of some spiritual tug of war. For a long time I never really acknowledged this part of myself, for with it brought the danger and stigma of sounding like a crazy person. I decided with my latest release, to the best of my ability, to capture and express this chess match of thought. Hi Ren comes out in just over 24 hours. I can't wait for you all to hear it.
Bless you sister. I have watched millions of lives changed forever due to Ren. Now it is your job to reach down into the pit of despair pull them out lift them up and push them ahead of yourself.With blessings a Renegade called Troy. God bless and Jesus Saves.
I subscribed to catch more of your reactions to Ren. He is a multi-talented musical genius, but he is also a survivor of a lot of pain and suffering. He's had to endure a hell on Earth for years, but it made him the amazing and inspiring artist he is now. He has a large collection of music to react to already and I'm sure you are going to get plenty of recommendations for what to react to next, but I'll love and like any Ren reactions you do. You seem like an empathic person so I'm really looking forward to your next one
Thank you for watching my reaction and subscribing,i really appreciate you.I enjoyed listening to this amazing and talented artist, I also look forward to listening to more from Ren.
If you do the tales of Jenny and screech make sure you do the full version trilogy Jenny screech and finally violet's tale in that order otherwise it won't make sense 13:30 minutes of 🧠💥 fantastic reaction welcome to the Ren rollercoaster enjoy the ride 👍👍✌️
0:32 "Oh this is going to be interesting. I like how original it is." Grrrrl. You have no idea what you're in for. I cannot wait to see your reaction. Welcome to the Renaissance. Just nice to have a new Renegade!
You could see on your face; you didn't just hear this song you felt it. Ren is an amazing artist who is very hard to categorize. Her's a rapper in some songs, a vocalist in others, and he also sings with his band 'The Big Push'. Can't wait to join you as you discover more of his work. ✌🏻❤😀🙏🏻
Good reaction. This is live one-take with multiple cameras but with 1 cut. The monologue at the end was from the 3rd take. It took 4 takes in total. He is a rapper and a Bard. He's Bardcore.

I think, based upon your reaction to this, that you would enjoy his latest release "Troubles" acoustic version. It highlights his singing, guitar playing, and his rapping. While telling the story of his illness in beautiful poetry. This song is an offering of hope to those suffering similar illnesses. Jenny and Screech can wait.
welcome to the RENaissance my new sister RENegade! this was a lovely reaction, very happy to subscribe in anticipation of more Ren reactions. also, once you're ready, be sure to check out Ren adjacent artists such as Sam Tompkins and Chinchilla and Rens former bands "the big push" and "trick the fox". thanks so much for sharing your experience, much love to you and yours🙂🙂🙂❤❤❤
Renegades are here for this. Seeing people take this journey, hear the messages, see the lyrical and musical genius, and the amazing skills of the people who work with him. New Subbie here - hoping you check out Genesis, Jenny and Screech, Chalk Outlines and How to be Me. :)
Suggestions for more tracks to react to Back on 74 message in a bottle retake for Soul vibe Troubles a recent release The Hunger or Genesis for rap Or with a band The Big Push I Shot the Sheriff Road to Zion Hip hop version
I'd be a terrible reactor because once i found Ren thats all the reactions id do (sprinkle in Brodnax, Jam Wayne, Upchurch, Chris Webby, Falling In Reverse and Slaughter to Prevail the first 4 being Independent GOATS just like Ren)

And then the other trilogy. Money game 3 is his best production.
two old lamps, a wheelchair, a guitar and a genius. together they make the most important video of our lifetime.
That sounds like the start of a joke. Two lamps and a genius walk into a bar... 😄
