Friends…..TOMORROW….Chalk outlines or I shot the sheriff? Should I do polls in my community tab? I’m so grateful for you enjoying my videos. I feel welcome, so thanks👍🏼 P.S - rewinds will come and I’ll be bigger on screen. Thanks for the advice😀
I shot the sheriff etc will showcase The Big Push and a more diverse set of skills... Utterly awesome performance. Also consider Losing it - Fisher Retake, Bitter Sweet Symphony (The Verve) Retake and Money Game - all three parts. He's truly talented.
your find i shot the sheriff on the The Big Push Channel the one with the red braces (Americans call them suspenders) i keep telling em Ren in suspenders is a hole different thing 😄
If you want to hear his reggae voice do I shot the sheriff. He is busking for that one so you hear it raw(It is good and shows more of his vocal range). If you want to hear him singing an original do Chalk Outlines, it is also a one take(this one is my favorite)
I'm in, I'm invested! One thing all Renegades regret is that we can never watch these videos for the first time again so we live vicariously through reactors doing it lol. This channel feels special partly because you've never done reactions before and, while I love hearing expert opinions on the lyricism, musicality, psychology, cinematography etc you're just like us simply getting blown away. No need to articulate anything, it's just a pleasure watching Ren have the same impact on you as he has me/us. We'll join you every night and more will come I promise, don't try to please us, just keep reacting honestly even if there are no words, we totally get that. I really do think that I Shot The Sheriff/ Road to Zion/ Hip Hop will serve you well next (tomorrow night, please, please, please lol) but can't wait for whatever you choose. Welcome to the Reniverse 🫶
"One thing all Renegades regret is that we can never watch these videos for the first time again so we live vicariously through reactors doing it." Absolutely!
Great reaction 👍👍a couple of suggestions Genesis The Hunger Losing it Hold on Love Music 1,2,3,4 Money Game 1,2(official lyric video)3 Humble ft Eden Nash and Ocean ft Eden Nash Ren was also in a band called The Big Push check out I shot the sheriff road to Zion hip-hop the version where he has on the red braces/suspenders if your in America Chalk outlines (Live) Ren and Liv Welcome to the Ren rollercoaster enjoy the ride ✌️
great reaction , and welcome in the Rabbit Hole ,Ren is a artist incredible and this music and this character have a soul . sorry for my bad english i'am french ;p i suscrib :) to be continued.
The circle of violence. Unfortunately happening all the time. Ren is bringing all sorts of subjects to our attention. Liked your reaction again 👍 Cheers from Berlin 👍🍀😎
I am really going to enjoy watching your reactions. Now, you need to know there are some real strong voices out here who will tell you this, that and the other about how to respond to Ren. I hope you can be strong enough to block those voices and just be your natural self, because that in my opinion is going to be the real fun watching you.
56 and cried here 😄 that bugger Ren!!! So bloody good so equals the tears. The UA-cam community has been absolutely brilliant with reactions and people talking about health. Ren has swallowed a thesaurus, haha. Lyrically brilliant!!
I think you are lucky as a new reactor to have someone like ren to react to. So many fans just want to see new reactions it kick starts anyone. Sometimes I wish I could hear his stuff for the first time again and I think that's what people are looking for, re-living the first time through someone else, but then again I suppose that's what reactions are there for.
20 months ago I first heard "Hi Ren". I thought it was brilliant so I figured I'd check out his other stuff but didn't expect too much. Maybe a good song or two. I followed with this trilogy. Mind blown. I've since heard everything he's released and I've yet to be disappointed. Great reaction, btw. I'm curious. Do you have a favourite genre of music?
You have passed the "Jenny and Screech" reaction initiation, and you did an admirable job of ranting about why Ren isn't more well known to the general public! Take heart about three things: 1) Ren is independent, so he can do whatever he wants, creatively. 2) He's still reaching far corners of the world, like the New Mexican desert where I live. And 3), he has attracted the notice and praise of some pretty influential people, like Andrew Lloyd Webber, Russell Crowe, Elton John, Sinead O'Connor (R.I.P.), to name a few. Enjoyed your emotional reaction, and subbed!
Don't worry about getting tongue-tied! I'd wager that every one of us here stumbles over our words when we first fall in love! 😅 As for his one-take performances, I think he'd be awesome on Broadway or in the West End. Not only do those performers need to be on and consistent each night, but they also need to keep things fresh. So, there is a precedent for what Ren is doing, IMHO. Another awesome reaction! Cheers from across The Pond™!
Found your channel!!! Loved your introduction to the priceless world of Ren!!! Thank you! I look forward to more! Great job! Welcome!! Get the Money Games Parts 1,2 and 3 and ALL of the rest!! Ren is the genius of our time! I look forward to whichever you choose!! 💕😸💕
Yay! I'm so happy you have made another reaction to Ren so quickly 😊 I hope a lot of Renegades will come to check them out, because you are so easy to watch, comfortable and just down to earth and real, like we are 😁 See you tomorrow?!? 😎
Ren can make a swell of emotions or a fit of laughter. He's powerful with his words. Not shy to admit Ren has been my favorite artist for a couple years and he always surprises and always makes me feel something.
His storytelling is SO captivating! But it's his heart and personality that I love. He's genuine, through his music, to live streams with fans, in his interviews, and his random social media posts. He's a breath of fresh air in today's society... PLUS more talent than any human should have access to hahaha. Enjoy the ride!
Great reaction, thank you for sharing it with us! Much of Ren's music is quite visceral and evocative... If you're not feeling something when you're discovering it you're not human ❤️ As for recommendations, I really enjoyed the live versions of How To Be Me and Chalk Outlines. Power and Patience are more uplifting. You can't go wrong with Hunger, Animal Flow or Genesis. He also just dropped a new one by Prof that he features on called Pain Salesman. Seven Sins is about his relationship with chronic pain and other debilitating symptoms he's experienced from Lyme's Disease that went undetected and misdiagnosed for over a decade. Humble is a another great song that should be on the radio and is often overlooked. I think the next natural choice would be Sick Boi... It gives you a great idea of his struggle with chronic illness and trauma that's caused by the medical system. Whichever direction you choose to go you won't be disappointed. They're all vastly different in style and brimming with musicianship! Ren continues to amaze and inspire. Buckle up and happy exploring! 🫶
Well he is filming them next month, it might be 4-6 months before they are edited, produced and mastered. I just know they won't be available to watch for a while. But I'm excited as well.
I never get tired of watching reactions to Ren, but this one In particular, I love seeing everyone’s surprise. You’re in for a fabulous ride full of twists and turns in the rabbit hole. I’ve subbed so I’m here for it all ❤️
Everyone reading this.. Please make sure you have subscribed to this man. I dont know him, found him yesterday and have never left a comment like this but Im still asking. Thank you for this reaction. So glad you are enjoying the music and the love. ❤
Mind blowing, right? I love how you have to reach the end of the "tales" to fully appreciate its beginning. Jenny was a 14-year-old girl walking London streets wearing high heels with "rosey" on her cheeks and she wanted to escape the thousand times she walked that ground. Yeah, do the math. Going in the first time we don't see the full tragedy from our first impressions of the cycle until we cycle back with what we learn. Wheels within wheels. Thanks for another good reaction and I'm looking forward to more from you. You are very relatable, likable and well suited to experience Ren's depth
Fair warning Ren does a lot of deep stuff (no one can make you cry like Ren). Now that you're in the rabbit hole just know that if it gets too deep there are plenty of light, funny, naughty, and just bangers to listen too so spread them out if needed. You listen, you comment on both what you see and hear and you don't talk over the music, to quote Arnie... "I'll be back".
You’re just as gobsmacked as all of us were when we heard these songs the first time. That’s why we watch these-because we can never experience it the first time again. Now you know why he calls his stuff “Bard core.” This is a Shakespearean tragedy in 3 acts. Enjoying watching you, Sam! Have a great day!
"....Why? What did he do wrong?" He hasn't sold his soul to a record company. You want world wide fame you have to sell your soul. Ren is an independent artist.
Rather than being angry that he hasn't been pushed into the Ed Sheeran level of fame, we're celebrating the fact that his album, Sick Boi, got to no.1 in the UK charts without any tours or expensive promotion. Ren was getting daily treatment in Canada, so it was an amazing achievement. He has dedicated friends & fans who do everything they can to spread the message. Sam, you sound like you're quickly becoming an enthusiastic Renegade, too 😊
Also being bedridden for years, spending hours in treatments, and even now having to deal with health issues has given him a lot less time to push his music. But it’s happening now. There will be more and more renegades.
I would HIGHLY recommend the Money Game trio. They are the songs that got me into Ren, and they remain some of my favorites today. The best part is, pt. 3 is a one-take 9 minute video. Also, if you are going to react to them, do the lyric video for pt. 2.
Loving your reactions subscribed to see more. Nice to see a fellow Brit reacting (I watch too many of these and so many are American) I tell everyone I know about Ren because I think its criminal more people in the UK aren't aware of what an incredible talent was born here.
Take all the time you need - it’s so refreshing to see such a genuine reaction - you will love all of REN ‘s stuff - he doesn’t stick to one genre - it’s worth checking out his fun stuff such as ‘Loosin it’ to balance the emotions 😊
We can't prepare you for this rabbit hole in any possible way. Let me say this: expect the unexpected. No one is hiding him from you or the world, he's just not signed to a big label and management. He's doing everything on his own with help from friends. Basically we as his fanbase and reactors like you are his biggest and most important promoters for his music. So please keep on reacting and spreading his music. He deserves it. Welcome to the RENiverse! You're now one of us - a RENegade! ❤ Next please: Money Game 1, 2 & 3 🤑💰💸
Great reaction. Welcome to the Ren wormhole. Wait till you get round to his band The Big Push, his good friend and fellow independent singer Chinchilla. His recent colab with an artist called Prof, all the busking sessions with Sam Tompkins. You’re gonna have a ball. Welcome to the Reniverse Sam
This trilogy is the perfect example of a modern day bard. Whenever you listen or watch something new to you from ren (and friends) its almost like you are a kid on christmas isnt it? Its so exciting bc you know its gonna be FIRE 🔥 so glad to see you enjoying his artistry, there is A LOT more from him and also from people he collabs with and his previous band, the big push. Buckle up, buttercup, youre in for a ride! 😁💜💜
Great reaction!🔥 I discovered Ren a bit more than a yr ago. The journey is well worth it, I have subbed for more. I didn't know how much I needed Ren in my life until Ren entered my life!🖤💜🖤
Don't be furious or sad Ren is rising, you have no idea of his story The last year and a half of following him have been a blast The surprises and publicity have been fun The Twitch streams with thousands of new fans from around the world The viral busking videos commented on by Elton John Photo ops with Russell Crowe Celebrations of Number 1 Albums with his mates and us watching Also some challenging dramas like CNN misusing hi ren and rap battles. Also epic art like this trilogy Money Game 1, 2 and 3 Back on 74 message in a bottle retake Genesis I will shut up now😂
Don't forget the AMAZING tribute video Harry Mack made for Ren (shout out @Rika_Shae for setting that one up - legend). Ren was so happy and humbled. I cried - lots - and it wasn't even a sad video.
I'm in for the journey down the rabbit hole! I did something I don't think I've done before ... I'm watching on my phone and you were such a small percentage of the screen, I zoomed in on you to see your reaction. I've seen The Tales themselves so many times, I didn't need to see the screen to know every nuanced facial expression of Ren, but I wanted to see you. I think you captured the visual version of the old saying, "If you want someone to listen, whisper." Lol. Perhaps you could come closer to the camera or make your part of the screen a little bigger? It may seem odd to you, but when we watch reaction videos, I think many of us are waiting to see if you react the same way we did, we experience our first time watching it all over again! Nicely done. 😊
Hi Sam. I think you experienced what most RENagades did when they first watched this which was 😳 🤯. Seem like you're becoming one of us now in the best possible way. I'm 2 for 2 on your videos and subscribed. Ren is like a gemstone with many facets, all of which catch the light in their own way. Everything and every word is intentional. His music is so diverse that it's a bit of a challenge to know what to suggest next. Something serious yet beautiful? Ren x Chinchilla- Chalk Outlines LIVE. Something fun? Ren- Power. Welcome in friend and enjoy the ride. 🤘♡
None of us are surprised that it evoked an emotional response. Ren is raw and real. You'll find out just how much so when you hit some of his songs like: (Freckled Angels, For Joe, Su!cide, Dominoes, etc.) they are great group therapy. We all feel it. It's part of what makes Ren, well... Ren. Don't hold back. The further down you dive the deeper your appreciation for him as an artist will be.
Part of his draw is how he’s able to connect, the emotions he invokes…so fun. For something fun, Animal Flow, Losing It, What You Want…for more tears, Crutch, Su!cide, Freckled Angels. Can’t wait to see more!
Great reaction! It can be helpful to back up 10 seconds after pausing and discussing. People tend to miss important parts when they don’t. Just trying help.
The videographer here is Samuel Perry-Falvey, Ren's long time friend who filmed mist of the "art style videoes, like Hr Ren, Chalk Outlines, Money Game 3, illesr if our Time, Mackay, Money Game 1 and Children of the Moon. They won international awards with Ren directing for Money Game 3. The Tales were 3 one shot videoes. Money Game 1 was their 1st one shot and it took them 183 yeies to get it right. If you wTch Power, Sam is driving the car. Ren is 3 or 4 years older than Sam, but they met as teenagers before Ren got sick
I've watched countless of reactions to this trilogy and I STILL start to cry every time he's about to reveal the names of the twins. He builds up so much emotion in you throughout the song!! Great reaction again :D
Appreciate your reaction to this song. This is a VERY SAD tale; But, what I LOVE the MOST about "The Tale of Jenny and Screech" is that in the end it points out that Jenny and Screech were siblings. This gave me insight into Ren's compassion for humanity and the recognition of how wrong violence is. It should not be this way. We are all brothers and sisters. We are divine spiritual beings in mortal bodies. We should treat each other as such. Jenny and Screech grew up in the foster system so that they didn't know they were siblings. But, if we're taught like we should be taught that we are ALL BROTHER and SISTERS! That is the way we should ALL treat each other! This is what I like about this song. Hopefully, one day we will all know this. "Every so often there comes an artist that says things on a certain level that just resonates." Like Oliver Anthony? (I admit that Ren is OA x100 in a good way. OA did six months of suffering compared to at least six years of hellacious suffering for Ren. They both are prophets, in my opinion. But, I started on the OA rabbit hole before Ren. I love them, both.) Can't wait for your reaction to Ren's video, "Eden". Just curious on your take. Have a nice day!
What blows my mind about this is that they werent written with a trilogy on mind. Ren wrote Jennys Tale, 3 months later wrote Screech's Tale and then 3 YEARS later, wrote Violets Tale. He is also self taught on guitar, piano, singing, rapping, beatboxing, producing and everything else, he does it all. Cant wait to join you on this Ren rollercoaster. Strap in, its one hell of a ride...
Friends…..TOMORROW….Chalk outlines or I shot the sheriff? Should I do polls in my community tab?
I’m so grateful for you enjoying my videos. I feel welcome, so thanks👍🏼
P.S - rewinds will come and I’ll be bigger on screen. Thanks for the advice😀
I shot the sheriff/ road to Zion/ hip hop. Red suspenders video. It's the best version.
I shot the sheriff etc will showcase The Big Push and a more diverse set of skills... Utterly awesome performance.
Also consider Losing it - Fisher Retake, Bitter Sweet Symphony (The Verve) Retake and Money Game - all three parts.
He's truly talented.
your find i shot the sheriff on the The Big Push Channel the one with the red braces (Americans call them suspenders) i keep telling em Ren in suspenders is a hole different thing 😄
If you want to hear his reggae voice do I shot the sheriff. He is busking for that one so you hear it raw(It is good and shows more of his vocal range). If you want to hear him singing an original do Chalk Outlines, it is also a one take(this one is my favorite)
@@georgedowd4689 In my neck of the woods we call them "trouser straps." (Just kidding...😂)
The world should know Ren
I'm in, I'm invested!
One thing all Renegades regret is that we can never watch these videos for the first time again so we live vicariously through reactors doing it lol.
This channel feels special partly because you've never done reactions before and, while I love hearing expert opinions on the lyricism, musicality, psychology, cinematography etc you're just like us simply getting blown away.
No need to articulate anything, it's just a pleasure watching Ren have the same impact on you as he has me/us.
We'll join you every night and more will come I promise, don't try to please us, just keep reacting honestly even if there are no words, we totally get that.
I really do think that I Shot The Sheriff/ Road to Zion/ Hip Hop will serve you well next (tomorrow night, please, please, please lol) but can't wait for whatever you choose.
Welcome to the Reniverse 🫶
"One thing all Renegades regret is that we can never watch these videos for the first time again so we live vicariously through reactors doing it." Absolutely!
This was my second Ren watch too... I was dumbstruck by his talent. Little did I realise what was to come. He's a genius.
Unknown generational talent!! Let’s go! We’ll all ride with you. It’s a long way down the rabbit hole Alice!
Ren is equally good on the piano!
I think Ren gets everyone at some point :) Great reaction, raw and honest. Just what the public wants. Thanks for sharing!
It is difficult because the performance is absolutely triumphant, but the story is tragic.
Great reaction 👍👍a couple of suggestions

The Hunger
Losing it

The circle of violence. Unfortunately happening all the time. Ren is bringing all sorts of subjects to our attention.
Liked your reaction again 👍
Cheers from Berlin 👍🍀😎
Let yourself cry, dude. There is great strength in tears and vulnerability.
We look forward to more from you
I am really going to enjoy watching your reactions.
Now, you need to know there are some real strong voices out here who will tell you this, that and the other about how to respond to Ren.
I hope you can be strong enough to block those voices and just be your natural self, because that in my opinion is going to be the real fun watching you.
Noted! Appreciate the kind words and thanks for the support!
Check out Chalk outlines the live version
56 and cried here 😄 that bugger Ren!!! So bloody good so equals the tears.
The UA-cam community has been absolutely brilliant with reactions and people talking about health.
Ren has swallowed a thesaurus, haha.
Lyrically brilliant!!
All three are one takes. Respect!

Yay! I'm so happy you have made another reaction to Ren so quickly 😊 I hope a lot of Renegades will come to check them out, because you are so easy to watch, comfortable and just down to earth and real, like we are 😁 See you tomorrow?!? 😎

You earned a new subscriber. Thank you for actually reacting to the feelings evoked.
In the beginning of each song I think he tells you instrumentally what is coming❤❤❤Loving a new perspective on Ren!
We Renegades are a welcoming and forgiving bunch. I personally am just happy to see another convert. You haven't heard anything yet! ;)
New tales on the way soon.Great reaction❤
Well he is filming them next month, it might be 4-6 months before they are edited, produced and mastered. I just know they won't be available to watch for a while. But I'm excited as well.
🩷 we love our Ren. His genre is just called Ren
Ren himself calls it “bardcore”
The storytelling and playing of a medieval bard, but with very hardcore topics
The world needs to hear Ren! We are all here to push his music! Keep reacting, sir!! ❤❤
I never get tired of watching reactions to Ren, but this one In particular, I love seeing everyone’s surprise. You’re in for a fabulous ride full of twists and turns in the rabbit hole. I’ve subbed so I’m here for it all ❤️
Everyone reading this.. Please make sure you have subscribed to this man. I dont know him, found him yesterday and have never left a comment like this but Im still asking. Thank you for this reaction. So glad you are enjoying the music and the love. ❤
Yes at this time 911 views and only 613 subs. I always look at that and the likes 296. Come on Reagades, we can do better!
Done
I really liked this reactor - what a doll. Subscribed before you suggested but thank you! Lifting all the boats out here 🛶💜🥔
👍Done and dusted.
Sam is the real deal. Love your reaction! Can't wait to see what you react to next!

This 💯 👍🏻

Welcome down the rabbit hole. I'm with the 'Losing It' recommenders for a switch of pace. Enjoy your Ren journey.
Ohhhh the tales😍 Once you start watching Ren, you'll go down a rabbit hole. This actually happens to be the second video I watched as well! Thank you!
Ren the master storyteller. 💛💛💛
Narrator vs first person. Thats why hes "the bard of Brighton" brother. Keep goin
Great reaction!🔥 I discovered Ren a bit more than a yr ago. The journey is well worth it, I have subbed for more. I didn't know how much I needed Ren in my life until Ren entered my life!🖤💜🖤
Check out The Big push Rens
band. I shot the sheriff/Road to Zion/hip hop for a lighter side of Ren and another completley different side of Ren.
Such a pleasure to see you having this journey! Ren really does bring people together, we're here to support!
No we don't want the industry involved with Ren as you will see he does and releases whatever he wants he had a no 1 album last year in britain
Ren will invoke feelings in you that you never knew you even had. Down the rabbit hole you go. I'll be here watching. 😆
Don't be furious or sad
Ren is rising, you have no idea of his story
The last year and a half of following him have been a blast
The surprises and publicity have been fun
The Twitch streams with thousands of new fans from around the world
The viral busking videos commented on by Elton John
Photo ops with Russell Crowe
Celebrations of Number 1 Albums with his mates and us watching
Also some challenging dramas like CNN misusing hi ren and rap battles.
Also epic art like this trilogy
Money Game 1, 2 and 3
Back on 74 message in a bottle retake
Genesis
I will shut up now😂
💯
Don't forget the AMAZING tribute video Harry Mack made for Ren (shout out @Rika_Shae for setting that one up - legend). Ren was so happy and humbled. I cried - lots - and it wasn't even a sad video.
Ren❤❤❤❤
Ren does this to every reactor! Money game 1, 2, and 3! Chalk outlines, For Joe, Troubles! You can’t really go wrong!
Thank you for your reaction to Ren. 🐇🕳️
Don't ever apologise for your own raw emotion 🙏
Ren is a musical genius who is reminding us all what music is really about.
We will be here as you go down the rabbithole Alice (Sam) ❤
Im right there with ya, man. It gets me every time.
Dude, Ren has made us all cry at some point. Welcome to the club!
Like so many times
Many times
Many many times and for many many months ❤
I'm in for the journey down the rabbit hole! I did something I don't think I've done before ... I'm watching on my phone and you were such a small percentage of the screen, I zoomed in on you to see your reaction. I've seen The Tales themselves so many times, I didn't need to see the screen to know every nuanced facial expression of Ren, but I wanted to see you. I think you captured the visual version of the old saying, "If you want someone to listen, whisper." Lol. Perhaps you could come closer to the camera or make your part of the screen a little bigger? It may seem odd to you, but when we watch reaction videos, I think many of us are waiting to see if you react the same way we did, we experience our first time watching it all over again! Nicely done. 😊
I did the same! I zoomed in to see his face and reaction. I have definitly not done that before!
I’ll be bigger! Thanks for the input and support
Hi Sam. I think you experienced what most RENagades did when they first watched this which was 😳 🤯. Seem like you're becoming one of us now in the best possible way. I'm 2 for 2 on your videos and subscribed. Ren is like a gemstone with many facets, all of which catch the light in their own way. Everything and every word is intentional. His music is so diverse that it's a bit of a challenge to know what to suggest next. Something serious yet beautiful? Ren x Chinchilla- Chalk Outlines LIVE. Something fun? Ren- Power. Welcome in friend and enjoy the ride. 🤘♡

What a quote, love it!
@@mattralph4092 ❤️
@@mattralph4092Ren, would love your quote. Beautiful ❤
Not my quote @@Bluemoon_75, was admiring @ultraredd's, the OP
He talks through his musical instruments. They are very much part of the story each time.
Yeah, this one hits hard. For a fun one, maybe Illest of Our Time, Losing It or Power. Great reaction 💜💜
Don't be sorry for wanting to cry. Ren has that effect on lots and lots of people.
For some more great guitar, check out his Fred Again Mashup.
if that one almost got you, you got to do freckled angels, suicide, how to be me live, and for joe.
Sweet❤❤❤
REN AND CHINCHILLA ....CHALK OUTLINES ....NEXT PLS X
Welcome! you are now a Renegade. Get ready for the ride of your life. ❤
😊You’re supposed to feel sad. Welcome to the Reniverse.
Dude this was the first song I heard from him and I felt every single line of all three parts. He’s such an amazing storyteller
None of us are surprised that it evoked an emotional response. Ren is raw and real. You'll find out just how much so when you hit some of his songs like: (Freckled Angels, For Joe, Su!cide, Dominoes, etc.) they are great group therapy. We all feel it. It's part of what makes Ren, well... Ren.
Don't hold back. The further down you dive the deeper your appreciation for him as an artist will be.
When he changes up the tempo/cadence it's called "flow switch" (in rap music at least)
Part of his draw is how he’s able to connect, the emotions he invokes…so fun. For something fun, Animal Flow, Losing It, What You Want…for more tears, Crutch, Su!cide, Freckled Angels. Can’t wait to see more!
Great reaction! It can be helpful to back up 10 seconds after pausing and discussing. People tend to miss important parts when they don’t. Just trying help.
I can't wait to follow you down the Ren rabbit hole. You're in for a treat. Be sure to check out The Big Push too (Ren is in the band).
He makes a whole movie in 13 minutes,c with just himself, a guitar, and a cameraman. It's wonderful and bonkers.
The videographer here is Samuel Perry-Falvey, Ren's long time friend who filmed mist of the "art style videoes, like Hr Ren, Chalk Outlines, Money Game 3, illesr if our Time, Mackay, Money Game 1 and Children of the Moon. They won international awards with Ren directing for Money Game 3. The Tales were 3 one shot videoes. Money Game 1 was their 1st one shot and it took them 183 yeies to get it right. If you wTch Power, Sam is driving the car. Ren is 3 or 4 years older than Sam, but they met as teenagers before Ren got sick
Another amazing video! Well done sam!! Looking forward to watching you live on twitch tonight at 9pm :)
I've watched countless of reactions to this trilogy and I STILL start to cry every time he's about to reveal the names of the twins. He builds up so much emotion in you throughout the song!! Great reaction again :D
Each of the 3 videos were recorded live on separate occasions. Ren is known for his 'one-take wonders'...
Sick Boi and the songs with chinchilla are amazing. He preforms live and usually in 1 take
Definitely listen to Chalk Outlines live so you can meet Chinchilla she is amazing ❤
Appreciate your reaction to this song. This is a VERY SAD tale; But, what I LOVE the MOST about "The Tale of Jenny and Screech" is that in the end it points out that Jenny and Screech were siblings. This gave me insight into Ren's compassion for humanity and the recognition of how wrong violence is. It should not be this way. We are all brothers and sisters. We are divine spiritual beings in mortal bodies. We should treat each other as such. Jenny and Screech grew up in the foster system so that they didn't know they were siblings. But, if we're taught like we should be taught that we are ALL BROTHER and SISTERS! That is the way we should ALL treat each other! This is what I like about this song. Hopefully, one day we will all know this. "Every so often there comes an artist that says things on a certain level that just resonates." Like Oliver Anthony? (I admit that Ren is OA x100 in a good way. OA did six months of suffering compared to at least six years of hellacious suffering for Ren. They both are prophets, in my opinion. But, I started on the OA rabbit hole before Ren. I love them, both.) Can't wait for your reaction to Ren's video, "Eden". Just curious on your take. Have a nice day!
Hello and welcome, thanks for taking the time to share this and I will add Eden to my list😊
What blows my mind about this is that they werent written with a trilogy on mind. Ren wrote Jennys Tale, 3 months later wrote Screech's Tale and then 3 YEARS later, wrote Violets Tale.
He is also self taught on guitar, piano, singing, rapping, beatboxing, producing and everything else, he does it all. Cant wait to join you on this Ren rollercoaster. Strap in, its one hell of a ride...
Andrew Lloyd Webber knows a thing or two about story telling and he called Ren a genius
No...please don't let a record label k*ll his Talent. He doesn't need them he is better then them.
And it is ok to cry...we all did.
