  • My first time listening to Hi Ren was not what I expected. A lyrical genius in torment, illustrates with Jekel and Hyde style tones the internal mental health battle that so many wrestle with. Check out my captivating first reaction.

    Depth is the key word. This song rocked a lot of people's worlds..
    Ren spent many years ,severely ill and misdiagnosed with bipolar,depression snd ME. He was given drugs that made him worse developed several additional illnesses due to being untreated for the Lyme disease that took 7 years to be discovered. He has been in constant pain and autoimmunity for 13 years now. He will soon be 34. He has been in Canada getting intensive treatment for more than a year now. Music is his lifeline always and he has a huge backlog of songs of survival. He has now chosen to be the voice for those made invisible by chronic mental and physical illness. Sick Boi, Crutch (2015) live with Bibi was in the height of his illness. It's a beautiful gem, done with no budget.

    Welcome to the REN-gades as others have said it is a joy to see others discover Ren and start down this very deep, winding, and emotional rabbit hole that is his Music catalogue. You completely got it Ren and his 'shadow self' in a battle for control. He has written some very moving and thought provoking music without question.
    Ren is Welsh as others have said, he spent a number of years quite ill bedridden at times with Lyme Disease as a result of a tick bite as is referenced here and another of his songs Sick Boi. Ren was also deeply affected by losing a friend to self harm that he speaks about in a very raw and real way in his music in songs like Suic*de, How To Be Me as well depression from those two things happening in his life with Chalk Outlines. Both of those performed as duets with the brilliant Chinchilla. He is still in recovery to this day.
    Then there is The Tale of Jenny and Screech(and Violet) a trilogy of songs packaged together that I have seen many reactors shedding tears galore over that one. Might need a box of tissues and a good cuppa for that one.
    Ren does have a playful, fun if not down right cheeky side though that you will discover. Enjoy the fall down the rabbit hole.

    Sometimes it's an internal battle with oneself to push through the day. It's universal. Ren has a way of encapsulating the universal and human experience with authenticity, vulnerability, and compassion.
    You have an extraordinary journey ahead of you, with Ren. We'll come along, if you don't mind. It's *almost* as good the two- or three-hundredth time! ;)
    As for what next, I always recommend something on the other side of the pendulum. In this case, something fun, lightweight, carefree:
    Love Music
    Loco
    or
    Losing It. Welcome!

Sickboi is short, but very impressive. Chalk Outlines w/Chinchilla, highlights his singing talent and the depth of meaning in his lyrics. The Hunger and Animal Flow showcase his rap skills and lyrical talent even more. What You Want and Losing It really high this lighter, more playful side. And, I’m confident you’ll enjoy his busking videos, with his former band, The Big Push. Warm wishes and I hope you enjoy your journey down the Ren rabbit hole!

    Ren, on this track, is playing a Cordoba flamenco guitar hence the Spanish sound.
    He is a very accomplished self taught guitarist, he also plays bass, piano, and others, I suspect he's one of those people who could get a tune out of any instrument. He's Welsh btw not English. You will have a wonderful journey finding out what else he has done. I'm sure other commenters will point you in the right direction, enjoy!

    Congratulations on finding Ren and his legion of fans. You'll notice even after a year, the fans still love to watch reactions of new listeners and Renegades are very welcoming and inclusive.
    As for Ren, I don't know if you've dove into the history behind him, but I highly recommend it. It helps give you a sense of who he is, why his music is important, and the battles he has
    fought just to get this far. His catalog is VERY deep and nuanced, with practically any genre you can think of being touched on. Classic Rock, EDM Rave/Techno, straight Rap, jazz, heartbreaking duets, cheeky fun songs, and of course, his own Bardcore storytelling.
    Make sure to also look at The Big Push, his former band before he had to leave for extensive medical treatment. They have several cover songs, original songs, and live busking performances. He has also done duets with several performers, both in busking and standard music video style.
    You will laugh uncontrollably, cry heavily, and think deeply. He is a one of a kind talent.

    M'Lady - first time visitor. Love your smile and your style. I'm an old Yank (a spritely 63, hehe) who only just discovered Ren late last year and have since been a dedicated RENegade. I'll sub, of course.
    Hehe two things:
    First, by choosing to react to this amazing young man, you've just unleashed your sub and view counts. Your channel is about to blow up with fans of his - among which you will undoubtedly soon be counted. We love Ren and regard him - as well as other RENegades - as family.
    Secondly - as you'll quickly realize - you've only seen about 1% of this dude's skills. Hehe just you wait - I can't wait to watch this journey unfold for you.
    Hugs from the US ❤

    Great reaction thanks for this. Happy to see this video is still being discovered. As you might see from the comments, if you continue exploring Rens art, you will be in for one hell of a ride, but also included into and supported by the community of unity known as us RENegades.
    Long live the RENegades!

    If you give in to your feelings you are at the start of a massive rabbit hole of years of top quality music. He recently beat Rick Astley to the UK no.1 album. There probably isn't a style of music that Ren can't do and every time you see him switch he does it so well. He plays guitar really well, he plays piano & keyboards. He does serious dark raps and light hearted funny raps. He does ballads and as well as his originals does covers which always have his own twist. As if that was not enough he does his own mixing, producing & beats. And if even that is not enough he was also in a band called The Big Push. There were two other singer guitarists with him who are also highly talented and now releasing their own stuff. That band had original songs and did loads of mashup covers. Their favorite thing was to go busking in Brighton (street performances). All of this is on UA-cam - enjoy your journey. 😄

    So I glad I stumbled onto your channel, wonderful reaction - and I've watched a ton of them.
    There's so much symbolism and subtleties to pick up on the more times you watch too. I don't want to completely spoil it for you but the two different shadows he casts on each side of the floor, the slightly off key chords he plays when 'darkness' tries to take hold that give that creepy feeling of dissonance and chaos, the lights flickering the way they do and when - even when he's wheeled in by the pig butcher - the "L" and "D" written on the chair for labor and delivery - as if he was delivered into the real world by a very broken healthcare system.
    Ren was misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and bipolar disorder about 7 years prior to the video - when it finally turned out that he had a serious case of Lyme disease. So they had him on a plethora of antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs that only worsened his situation and even caused him some psychosis.
    He also suffers from autoimmunity that he's receiving treatment for - so safe to say the guy has really been through the ringer and had a lot of material to be inspired from.
    But I'd never seen anything like this before, the same way you felt - it was like he was able to articulate the entire human condition (varying from person to person of course) inside of 10 minutes! And with such incredible articulation and raw talent.
    And you had a premonition! You said "this guy's a genius" at about the 5 minute mark and about 10 seconds later he said "I'm a genius!" - so bravo for that.
    I'll never get tired of this one-take performance art masterpiece and I hope you don't either - there always seems to be something else to take from another viewing.
    Looking forward to your "Chalk Outlines" reaction, it's incredible as well in a different way. Cheers from San Diego California!

      Cheers Mr Bo Jangles (great username). I didn't even pick up on the genius bit. I did something a little similar in Jenny and Screech which I posted today. I still couldn't have predicted where that song was going though. Chalk Outlines will be up soon...thanks for watching. I often wonder if I am any good at this, so your first comment was really nice to hear. Cheers from Oz 🍻

      I will make sure to check that out next, it's dark but another creative storytelling masterpiece - and he's just so good on the guitar.
      And he's doing all of these bits live - his 'director' Samuel also does such a great job - if you search, you can find interviews they've both done about their collaborations and he's very accommodating to reactors and just regular people. He's inspired a lot of very different people in a very short time for sure.
      And you are your own articulate natural self at this (and you just stay on your take while I see other reactors do multiple cuts and re-takes) in my humble opinion, so please don't stop! Thank you for the kind response. 🍻

    Ren is who we been missing and didnt even know it. Hes the best pure all around musican out now and nobody is touching him. He can make you laugh, cry he prvokes every emotion. His pure talent is something to marvel at. Story telling ability i could go on and on. Hes just a genusis

    • @westbank5436
      @westbank5436 2 місяці тому

      And nobody deserves it more than him. If we didn't have big labels picking some hot chick or dude who can't write a song to save there life to promote and if they went after true artist like him it would be a win win because he has talent you don't have to fake it for him and he would make them all the money in the world. But Ren wouldn't take it he would chose his route again and stay independent and own his masters produce his own music and put out what he want when he wants.

    Hi Swift - I, too, used to judge people based on their accent, clothing etc.
    Realise now that to express your feelings you first a) need to have them b) need a vocabulary, as you said, to identify them by and c)
    need recipients of your story. Ren has all of them now.

  • @justsaying8158

    Welcome to the wonderful (if not disturbing at times) World of Ren. I hope you enjoy delving into the genius he is, on so many levels, creatively, musically, subject matter and a total lyrical gymnast.
    He is also one of the most intelligent, well spoken and lovely guys imaginable, even though he has suffered horribly with traumatic physical and mental illness.
    Starting Recommendations for you to react to:
    Ren - Sick Boi (Official Music Video)
    Ren - Animal Flow (Official Music Video)
    And everything he's ever made.
    Strap yourself in for a wild and emotional ride ❤

    Congratulations, you have found the trapdoor into an amazing parallel universe. Please jump in with both feet, get a big box of tissues, expect tears of sadness and joy. This is not just music it is an experience that will move you deeply. If you are of a particularly sensitive nature I would recommend alternating between his more serious/darker work and his lighter side (busking/street performances with his band 'The big push'). I really look forward to joining you on the journey! Cheers from the UK.
