Ren is a Poet, a Singer, a Rapper, a Musician, a Composer, a Songwriter, a Producer, an Actor......an Artist. Keep going down the Ren rabbit hole, there's literally nothing he can't do. This video is completely LIVE....No pre-recorded music and lip-syncing here. Don't miss out on the fact that Ren was also in a band...."The Big Push". They too have lots of videos, mostly of Busking (street performing).
Ren needs all of our Thoughts, Prayers and Love right now. At 17, Ren had been discovered by Sony Records, Busking in England. They signed him to a contract and he was on his way. As he was recording his first album, he got incredibly sick. He went to the British doctors, complaining of severe pain all over his body and in his joints. The Doctors could find nothing wrong with him and insisted that it was all in his head.
Ren spent the next 8 years of his life, looking for answers, going to hundreds of different doctors. The medical community kept saying it was ALL in his head and treating as much, with Psycho-Active/Tropic drugs for his "Mental Disorder". Meanwhile, Ren was stuck in bed 23 hours a day because of the overwhelming pain. All of this nearly drove him crazy as he KNEW he was experiencing the pain that they said was made up.
A few years ago, he found a Doctor in Belgium that finally diagnosed Ren with Lyme Disease. He had his answer. However, because the Lyme disease went untreated for 8 years, it Ravaged his body to include his brain. He even received Stem Cell treatment in Canada a while ago, but the damage was already done. He is currently BACK in Canada, for 6+/- months, to try and repair some of that damage. This will include multiple surgeries. He is there by himself, without friends or family to comfort him through this grueling ordeal.
John...I have only just found this young man ...he is giving me such inspiration..I am suffering side effects from cancer treatments and learning to accept how I look and feel ..I really needed this in my life ...thank goodness we are blessed to have such a talented inspirational young man who's wisdom and talent blows me away x
@@jennymachin5532, and thank you for speaking up about yourself. These guys picked up on the aspect of Ren’s struggle being a spiritual war, as much it’s a psychological and physical battle.
Do you copy/paste this into every reactor's comments?
@@trevorlangston4219 Who cares if he copies and Pastes. There are people hearing for the first time every minute They welcome Rens story gladly
@@Barbiedoll4257 well said
That's why this song is so popular. It's making everyone philosophical. Shows we love things that make us think. Keep looking into Ren. There is nothing he can't do musically. Sick boi and The Hunger are two more great tracks. 😁😁😁
Yeah...that and it's one of the most BRILLIANT performances I've EVER seen....
Just seeing your comment now yes you are so right
"Some people know me as hope... Some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope..."
Wow... I have heard that voice many times over my 51 years! So powerful... Hope is absolutely what keeps us from slipping into the dark. Without it we are lost... what an amazing piece of art! This eternal dance is definitely what it means to be human. Thank you Ren for putting it into words so eloquently spoken!
This line hit me hard! I've never thought of wished to do something like this but my heart went wow! I understand!
This line is amazing!
I heard that voice , when my foot was pressed to the floor and my eyes were tightly closed. I'm still here.
You made me smile and cry at the same time
I've been watching Ren reactions for at least 2 weeks straight now and I gotta say this is the best conversation being had because of this song that I've heard so far ...awesome!
I'm on week eight and the urge doesn't go away. I might need help 🙈
Same. It's SO satisfying to watch other people "discover" this song and him in general isn't?! It's like getting to re-live my own discovery of it ("Hi Ren" was what popped up in my feed and how I found out about what I had been missing with this guy) over and over again, heh. How cool would it be if he got the kind of widespread appreciation he deserves...
so well said !
@@lillyvanpug have you seen a way out of this rabbit hole? 🤔
@@bobtodd5623 not yet. But I'm starting to get picky with them. So that's a start
Gentlemen. Thank you for your intelligent comments. Ren is a genius who irrespective of faith has moved people of all ages and nationalities to talk about mental health. His art is unique in this day and age and his music crosses all genres. Chose anything of his and you will not be disappointed. It was a pleasure to watch your reactions.

On a personal note.....That was a great reaction. We ALL have this battle within ourselves (if you're honest). "You're not talented enough,, you're not strong enough, you're not good looking enough, you're not smart enough, etc.". It's a rare person in which the "Light" side wins every time. Ren is a guiding light....having gone through all that he's gone through and still able to produce ART like this. There are several songs/videos in which he explores his relationship with God, as anyone would going through what he's been through. What's curious is, I'm not exactly sure where Ren sits as of present. And that's NOT a bad thing.
Everyone will tell you to listen to more songs that go down this same road....."Sick Boi", "Chalk Outlines", "How to be me", etc. I will recommend a completely different take. Take in Everything Ren has to offer. Try his cover of "I Shot the Sheriff"....Do a search for "The Big Push....Bongo Bong" and check that out. Where Ren really shines is in his Live performances. Try his Rap songs like "Power" and "What you want". And then there's "The Tale of Jenny and Screech (FULL)". It's a Masterclass in Storytelling. You can do each video separately ( "Jenny's Tale", "Screech's Tale" and "Violet's Tale") and drive your reactors MAD with anticipation....or just do the video where all 3 are put together and finish it at once. Keep going.
This young man has been taking the world by storm.
The most incredible thing about this video in particular, isn't the amazing guitar work, the lyrics or even the stellar performance.
The most astounding thing is, what is going on out here.
I have seen reactors as well as people in the comments section, coming forward with intensely personal stories of their own struggles and how they are coping each day.
Suggesting people get help if they need it. Even offering resources to do so.
People are reaching out saying that they had felt alone in their battle. To find an incredible amount of people saying that exact same thing. Proving the point, a falsehood the way no words can.
This is so relatable to people in all walks of life.
We all have inner struggles and demons that we have to go through. Whether it's doubt, self esteem, addiction or mental health issues.
Because of that, people are finding a connection to an unexpected place.
Each other.
Things are being discussed, that before weren't even whispered.
It's such a wonderful thing, that I want to shout it out from every rooftop that there is.
I think that with this one song, he has proven his own words true.
He IS a genius and the waves that he is creating are tsunami in scale.
His music may just be more important than he could ever imagine.
I wish that I had Patreon money. So, I could see your deep dive into this
But, I am on social security and barely making the bills.
This was an incredible reaction. I appreciate you both for your time and thoughts.

I loved your take on this. Your humanity was clear to see. Ren is getting medical treatment right now in Canada. There’s a gofundme to help him. He was asked to line up at Glastonbury but this treatment (surgeries, medical) will take some months. We must have Ren and his artistry and talent. He’s precious.
It’s so refreshing to watch a reaction with people who genuinely listen and study the art in front of them and are able to articulate themselves ingeniously. Oh and for supporting Ren that’s an automatic like and subscribe
Man I got goosebumps when you said the 3rd and 4th characters are the ones feeding his two inner voices. I've listened to it like 50 times and so many reactions but as soon as you said that it was like another piece fell in place. That shiver you get when you hear something and instantly know it to be profoundly correct.
Great job guys 👍
Oh yeah and you gotta do Ren The Tale Of Jenny and Screech (full) next its a journey
Yeah I felt that too, like something clicked =D
I totally agree with you. I have watched this video twenty times and all the reactions I can get my hands on and I did not pick up on that until Dre brought it up. This is the amazing part of the internet.
SAME!
I’m very much not religious and I believe Ren isn’t also (he used biblical imagery as metaphors as far as I know) but I absolutely appreciate your discussion and love that it hit you on multiple levels including your faith. Breaking down lyrics like it’s Bible study (or for me, poetry) is absolutely what I’m here for! I really loved seeing you both being so open and enthusiastic about this song.
Please, please, please react to Ren’s trilogy of songs Jenny’s Tale/Screech’s Tale/Violet’s Tale. They’re very much narratively connected and are best viewed one after the other/in one video. It includes amazing rapping, singing, guitar playing and acting like in Hi Ren but has a bard-like storytelling component that I’d be really interested to see you react to!
The lights flashing on & off is a visual reference to the pendulum swaying.
As for the sickness, his story is true & truly harrowing.
I’ve watched this video a few times and I wonder if the lights flicker based on the strength of the fight from their respective sides, since they seem to behave out of sync
I think you will love the tale of Jenny and screetch (full) as well.
It's story telling at it's best. Just ren and a guitar, all live, and he tells a story so captivating you can't turn away.
It also brings up several societal issues that need to be spoken more about. (i'll leave this spoiler free)
Lads, good reaction, I enjoyed it.
I'm sure that it will come to your attention soon enough just how unwell this guy is. As we speak he is in Canada receiving what we hope will be life saving treatment. That said, Ren is a very special talent. one of those gems that occur few and far between. I'm sure that in years to come we will realise just how important this artist is.
Guys- I'm blown away. What a calm, insightful and profound reaction. I am in awe and I really appreciate the way you approached this. Got a new sub here. I really hope you take a deep dive into the Ren rabbithole. It's full of art, raw emotion and surprises 🖤
Ren 🥰👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I was so happy when I saw two of my favorite reactors doing Ren. Keep up the good work gentlemen.
I'm 61 years old and love Ren. He is an amazing artist. I've watched 100's of reactions on Ren and you two are among my favorites. Absolutely subscribed. PS: loved the people over profits shirt. Connected.
The pendulum part hits so hard too... When your life is just OK, bad days don't seem so bad. But when you're living your dreams(Bright Light), even the slightest bad day(darkness) seems so large in comparison.
Ren is a honest highly intelligent young man who is a finely honed musician, poet, singer et Al. He has been the victim of western medicine and is still seeking help for a painful misdiagnosis that a lot of us would have crumbled under. His music is diverse and a inspiration ☮️
Well he’s the victim of Lyme’s disease and misdiagnosis of that disease.
The brutal fact is there is no cure for the disease but for some, the symptoms can be managed, oddly enough with Western medicine.
@@supertuscans9512 yes, Lyme is treatable when caught early. But because of years and years of doctors misdiagnosing him and telling him that his pain is all “in his head,” the Lyme disease was allowed to run rampant and caused irreversible damage to his body and brain. That’s why he said western medicine failed him.
"Western" medicine is just medicine. It's why we live longer today than we ever have.
I've been looking forward to this! Thanks so much! Great reaction, guys!
Great reaction guys to a piece of art. This guy lives in Brighton UK another far from me and he has done some amazing street shows. Hoping his treatment in Canada goes well and we can all see him back playing again soon. Andy UK
I thoroughly enjoyed your show today on a great video by Ren! Thanks to both of you for sharing thoughtful perspectives.😊
Amazing reaction! Thank you for finding Ren and I hope you check out more of Ren's music. It's all guaranteed to blow your mind. Love your positivity and your vid. 🥰🙏🏽❤️
Outstanding reaction! ♥ Love your insight and awareness. Great job. Human beings are very complex, each and every one of us have something that makes or breaks society. Lets keep people like Ren to stay alive and keep creating genius work.
Great reaction chaps, I've watched this countless times now and then best description of I've read in the comments is. First you think it's Ren's struggle, then you think it's your struggle, then you think it's everyone's struggle, then you realise there is no struggle.
That was brilliantly said at the end there!
“Then you realize there is no struggle!” 🙏
Top notch content guys, great quality, interesting opinions and comments, looking forward to see more from you!
Love your reaction to this video. Great perspective on this. Thank you both.
This breakdown was so insanely good. You guys are amazing at this!
His message and battle is in all of us. In my 50 years of listening music this song impacted me more than any. God Bless!
Great breakdown and reaction of a beautiful piece of art. Great job guys! Keep it up!
Incredible reaction guys. Can't wait to see more REN!!!
The best of the 25 or so reactions I have watched... I'm a little obsessed. Truly thoughtful, insightful and well done. Subscribed.
Best conversation about this song I've seen yet. Good job guys
Great reaction video guys. I've lost count of the number of videos I've watched reacting to Hi Ren. Love your balanced view and smart reactions. Keep doing what you do! 👌
I've watched so many reactions; they've renewed my faith in people to be honest. You guys stood out to me through your interpretation. You have beautiful hearts. May you be blessed all your days.
That was a GREAT Reaction and analysis!! Thank you for that guys. Cheers!!
This is fun stuff, the guy with the beard, outer space. The guy with the red hat, completely grounded in reality with spot on commentary.
Great reaction guys. This is a one take video. Fourth time lucky. So powerful and genius!! Ren's music so diverse and brilliant!!
Very insightful reaction guys. I enjoyed watching this. Keep it up 😊
Thanks guys for your perspective on this amazing song/video. You insight was very thoughtful, intelligent, and wise. My personal favorite reaction to "Hi Ren" so far.
Love you all! Great reaction. Glad you talked about the bigger picture of the lyrics.
I've seen about a dozen reaction videos to this song, but you gentlemen are my favorite. Very deeply thought out by two brilliant and wise men. Thank you
Just found y'all today and subbed. Great reactions!
Of all the reactions I’ve watched to
Hi Ren yours has been the most beautiful and respectful to his talent, his pain and how he presents his art. Thank you both.
I’ll be seeing more of you two.
Beautifully put, chaps, beautifully put.
Love the breakdown guys. Keep up the great work.
Great discussion guys. This is touching all of us in different ways. Love out.
You two are fantastic just found your channel last week. I’m glad you got headphones
Love your real intelligent analysis of Ren. Excellent brothers.
Great job breaking it down. I appreciate your perspective.
This is one of the best reactions/break downs of this song I have seen yet and I have watched many LOL Good work guys, you created a fan here today.
Really enjoyed this video. Super intelligent. Very incitefull. My ears perked when you said "spiral out". Yall keep going.
Thank you so much for an awesome reaction and break down, really enjoyed the evolution of your thoughts and observations. Hope you check out more of Ren - it just gets better and better - he never ceases to surprise in any of his musical genres - Rap: Genesis, Hunger, Power, Money Game 1 and 2 (just to start, there is too much gold there) Singing (Chalk Outlines and How to Be Me) Busking with his band The Big Push, storytelling in Trilogy of Jenny/Screech and Violet (in that order only to appreciate the twists and turns of his storytelling). It's all amazing and on the next level and so different from each other, it's refreshing to see so many different sides of a musician and artist, captivating!
Great reaction guys. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Love this reaction. Thank you guys
“Even though he’s the villain : he represents humility”
That’s what makes self doubt so real.
You can’t be sure the negativity isn’t actual truth you’ve been running away from.
Thank you for mentioning self doubt. That’s what so much of this is. So much vulnerability here, you can see these are not just thoughts he has, this is life for him. Everyday. That’s why he can put all these complex lyrics together like this. He is an absolute genius. Unfortunately it’s belief that a brilliant ultimately is also a trouble mind. The deep thinking, the constant thinking. He clearly operates on a different wavelength than most people and sees a lot more on that wavelength, both good and bad. And then not being able to relate automatically with the masses can create isolation and then the whole existence enforces that forever lingering self doubt
So many people can relate to this song. Thanks for talking it out in the end from a godly perspective
Jenny, Screech and violets tale (full) Next level stuff…unbelievable story telling.
I was so impressed with your takes on this young man!! I believe that he is a Genius!!! This is a Masterpiece!!!
Outstanding reaction and conversation!
Thx. I would love to see more Ren reactions on your channel!
Thanks guys. Great reaction!
I found you guys a couple videos ago and just went to this one next. CLEARL,. the ones I just watched were older. The upgrade in production quality is crazy! Good for you guys, keep it up! I am a new regular viewer!
To see Ren's journey, check out Dear God, Crutch, Depression, Diazepam, How to be me (Live), Chalk Outlines (live).
But then you need to get to where he's gotten to now... So there's Power, Genesis, The Hunger, What you Want, Dominoes, Love Music Part 1, 2, 3... Fisher Rap etc... So many to do... All fire...
Then there's the F the Man side, Crucify your culture, Money Game 1 & Money Game 2.
Then when you're done with that, there's his band The Big Push.
SECOND THAT
I love your sweatshirt! I want one now. You guys really are connected to humanity and it's beautiful to see to men talk about really vulnerable issues.
Ren brought me here... your reaction and knowledge is keeping me here!!. Seriously, you guys are awesome. Subscribed and hoping to see more Ren reactions!! :)
Respect. I like where you come from, and what you got out of the Ren experience.
I've spent the last 3 hours watching people's reactions to this artist/song (I'm captivated) and i would have to say this is one of the most insightful analysis/reactions i have seen.
Just found this today, and I loved it. I went and looked at your channel, and I didn't see any more Ren. He is such an amazing human being, on top of being a great musician. If you do more Ren, I will be back!
Yeah I’ve seen loads of good reactions to this and this could be the best 🙌🏻 nicely done.
Great reaction, and breakdown guys. I thoroughly enjoyed that. I recently found Ren as well, and the guy is truly talented. A breath of fresh air from what can feel stagnant at times. If your looking for more Ren suggestions here are a few.
If you want more of the thought provoking writing, storytelling, and theatrical drama then I highly suggest the "Jenny/Screech/Violet" trilogy. That was a masterful piece of art.
If you want to check out some of his rapping chops then I'd suggest "The Hunger".
And for singing "Chalk Outlines".
There are more, but as I mentioned I'm going down the Ren rabbit hole myself. Once again I truly enjoyed the reaction, and I'm looking forward to your next.
One of the best reactions I’ve seen ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Brilliant reaction! You two guys really impressed me with your thoughtful comments. Thanks.
Loved your comments at the end of this.
Absolutely amazing.
I've watched many reaction videos to Hi Ren. You nailed it for me!
I'm lubbin your honesty x thankyou
Loved it ….your reactions are on point 💯❤️🙏🏻☮️✌🏼
Your reaction was just as powerful to me. And I’ve watched this Ren video 100 times over. Stay strong
I enjoyed both your insights on this video, refreshing! This song/poetry/performance touches so many because being Human Beings we ALL have issues of some sort whether it's evaluating our own self worth, or combating our self doubt , or feeling alone going through our personal struggles this masterpiece allows, as one of you said all of us to relate to it. It is all of us. It represents (to me) the battle within ourselves whether an addiction, one contemplating suicide, one struggling with mental disorders. Whether we are religious or not , believe in god or not, it's something we ALL go through and I like to call it the Human Experience. Keep up the great work! You found another subscriber here.
Love how you guys discussed this "song". Both of you made great points and really absorbed this song.
This is THE BEST review of Hi Ren I’ve seen. Thank you.
Really enjoyed you two discussing this song. Its one of the best musical performances ive ever seen.
Hands down the best reaction and breakdown of Hi Ren. Excellent!
I’ve been watching this track for weeks now and you two did an amazing reaction video…..thank you 😎 new sub here
I am five minutes into this reaction and you guys are quickly becoming my favorite reaction duo!
Thank you for giving more people a chance to hear this precious masterpiece(super corny I know but it's true isn't it?🤘😍)!!! It's given me SO much strength that I was really needing. Seems like a lot of us need that right now. 👏💓💪
Excellent breakdown
You guys are very real, I appreciate your reaction you guys are real, and I appreciate you as people. God bless and have a great day
Thanks for an excellent reaction, mates! Subbed!😉
Great analysis one of the best I've seen
Edit: I love that you used the term "live for the morrow"
I have seen several reactors react to Ren and this song.. I absolutely loved your reaction…It was detailed and heartfelt, and I love the way you broke it down. I sub’d and will be watching your channel for sure! Hope you react to many more REN songs. He is a genius and amazing musician.
Finally a cerebral, thoughtful reaction! You guys really understand the messages here and people watching will too.
You brothers broke this down. Bravo.
Love it gentlemen, appreciate the breakdown and hope you are doing well brothers
