The best thing about this song isn't even the lyrics, the performance, the artistry etc. It's the fact it's made such an insane uproar in the music community. It doesn't matter what your preferred genre is this immediately becomes relevant to anyone who hears it.
The support for Ren from reactors and vice versa is a whole different aspect. I've found so many amazing people on youtube just watching them react to Ren. (You included)
"I will never be the same after seeing this." That echoes what do many of us have experienced with Ren.
You said you didn't know how to react, that you were not qualified to do so.
Then you reacted exactly the same as everyone else who gets it - mesmerised, enthralled, riveted to the screen, holding back tears, stunned silence at the end.
Pretty much the perfect reaction, I'd say. You done good, man. Real good.
The first time I cried…. I have now heard it a bunch of times, and each time strikes me and I tear up. This is true art.
Yeah dude. Me too. Seen it a hundred times, tear up every time, and at different bits.
Mind, I'm a bit mental & it rips my heart out
The part at the end from I have stood in the flames that cremated my brain and never once flinched all the way through the end hits me like a freight train every time.
I'm here with you brother. Can't cry for personal tragedy, but this shit tears me apart
Same, every time there's at least one bar or strophe that gets me. But it has also inspired me to dare more, write more, hope more.
same, can't watch it without having tears in my eyes
Ren isn't a one trick pony, he's a unicorn. Dive into his story, look at his music which is always pure genius, spans any and all genre's and even in creates it's own. And he is helping so many people even while he's fighting his own massive issues. He's a whole world to discover.
This is a masterpiece. Ren was bitten by a tick and got Lyme disease he was misdiagnosed for 7yrs and was treated for mental illness when they finally picked it up it had done a lot of damage. this all drove Ren into psychosis and is a raw, vulnerable ,heartfelt depiction of his experience . I think most people can relate to the inner dialogue even slightly. A very talented young man. He has a lot of work, Sick Boi and Chalk outlines with Chinchilla relate to his experiences. Ren does Rap, Reggae, Rock so many styles and has a band called The Big Push a clever and versatile artist.
This was such an honest and sincere reaction. Thank you Alex.
No, you had an excellent reaction. Something like this can only have a reaction from the heart and that's where yours was from.
Thank You for your honesty.
I'm 60 years old and I am a huge Ren fan. His music moves people of ALL ages and is so important. He is amazing. I've watched a lot of reacts to this song, but yours was my favourite. Ren speaks to so many people in so many different situations. I am glad his music moves you, too. Thanks for the reaction!
Hi Doreen. I am 49yrs old yesterday...:) I have stumbled upon this genius of a musician, poet, rapper.....shamen....just a couple of days ago, and I have not been able to get him out of my mind......and thats a good thing. I don not suffer from mental illness, or auto immunity or (thankfully) anything that Ren is dealing with....but that doesn't matter, he seems to be channeling something incredibly deep within the human subconscious and it means A LOT to me....I feel something with this guy. Or super conscious godmind. I am literally in awe of this mans talent, and emotional depth transposed to music....be well Doreen Taylor.- Dave, from Seattle.
I'm 70 and have never in all my years been moved so much by a music video. One guy in a room with a guitar and it turns out to be a night out at the theatre! Loosen the noose on the rope... the brighter the light shines the darker the shadow it casts... the kind of lines I'd expect from Lennon Dylan Cohen Waits.
What an incredible performance on many layers.
I hope hospital is going well for you Ren and you're maybe up and about now.
I'm 59 and have probably watched almost 20 reactions to Hi Ren, but this is one of the best. Sincere and emotional.
53. Agreed. I haven't been this moved by music in 20 years. Hi Ren. Greetings from Switzerland
I'm 57 and I'm deep in the rabbit warren! This was a great reaction and it spoke to you like it spoke to me. I'm looking forward to seeing more reactions to the rest of his catalog! I suggest as the next step down the hole would be his trilogy, Jenny's Tale, Screech's Tale and Violet's Tale in that order at the same time one after the other.✌out brother.
I've watched every reaction to this I could find over the last few weeks and I thought I've seen it all. I cried watching this touch you so much. This is my new favorite reaction. You have gained a loyal fan with your vulnerability and raw honest words. Ren has somehow tapped in to the lock that opens every soul on earth.. no matter our difference or views. We are all longing to feel what this brings to us. Thank you.
Yes it has touched him like it touched me. I loved his reaction the best so far .. so raw x
I agree. I also seen every reaction. Chasing that feeling I got when I first watched it. Amazing.
@Brad Hollmann The only down side is that we can never hear it for the first time so I too live vicariously through these reactors. I heard Ren called "Adhd proof" and I've never agreed to anything more.
@@sanoraray same. such great stuff
Yes that's similar to the way I view that Ren has opened a Portal for other beautiful souls to feel safer as a Collective exposing and discussing their "flaws", demons and Darkness and finding strength & inspiration through Ren, the others And themselves. He's a Warrior of Light and long may he shine
I'm hoping Ren sees your reaction.!! He'd be touched by seeing how deeply this moving, musical masterpiece of his moved you.
I agree 💯 this was a brilliant reaction
Its ok dude.....REN drags your human being to the surface whether you want it to or not..........This is your new Bohemian Rhapsody for this century.....
saying you don't know how to react to this then reacting in a very honest way is absolutely the only way to react to this...a beautiful reaction
Many of us wish we could hear this song for the first time again. Ren is a genius.
Who would think that an odd little person in a hospital gown playing guitar could create such an emotional masterpiece? I've never seen music reactors so affected by a song before. Ren is amazing!
Well put
I’ve watched nearly every reaction to this song. But seriously you didn’t need to say a word. The expression on your face personified every emotion I felt the first time I saw it. Liked and subbed brother.
Ren is the Swiss Army knife of music for this time. He doesn’t miss the target in any of his music. His videos are some of the best in music video history.
I've watched about 40 hours of reactions to hi ren now. And this, by far is my favourite! Bro, you didn't pause too much, you just got captivated by ren as most of us do. And your were just real! Raw! And didn't edit or hide yourself! Thank you for being real brother 👌🤌👏❤️
I am a 60 years old. I have loved music my whole life. This changes everything. Damn.
I cried every time I watched this performance for the first month. And every time I watch it i discover new depths. There are so meny levels of detail in this. His brilliant guitar playing with subtle changes when he switch persona. How he switch in the blink of an eye his all being between different states of mind, facial expressions, body language. How the light flicker and go wild when the bad part of him is active and how is stays strong when he is in his good side. His literary skill, the wordplaybis impeccable and perfect in almost every aspect. You can't give this guy enough praise.
And you reacted exactly how everyone should react. This is a masterpiece and the message is so powerful there are no words that are correct to describe it. This is a message everyone should hear.
I been watching so many reaction videos just to relive how I felt when I first saw this.
You gained my respect with this reaction.
Awesome reaction to an awesome performance! Ren really is a modern day bard
The fact u said this song should be translated in every language....that statement makes the most sense ive heard ina llllooooonnnngggg time!!!!! U speak nothing but truth and ppl need to hear Ren....
One amazing thing about this song is that it was all done live. You can see a lavalier mic cliped to his hospital gown, and recording equipment hooked to his back when he turns around to place his guitar in the wheelchair. He truly is the type of talent you only find once-in-a-generation.
I’ve heard this 50+ times, and it still hits hard. Every time.
"I will never be the same after this song" - that's the Ren effect - he gets to the heart of us all like that and shines a light on our own demons and Darkness in such a way that instead of making us feel vulnerable for being exposed, we feel Empowered and Safer to speak about the things that were so taboo and felt shameful before. IMO he's a Celestial being who has opened a Portal through which people now feel safer amongst a Collective of other beautiful souls who all Rensonate and support each other. Welcome to the world of Ren and his people. Enjoy his vast catalogue that excels and surpasses and surprises in a myriad of genres and feels
“Hi Ren" is the song that put Ren on everyone's radar since December; it went viral and has garnered more than 6 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 Ren’s 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; he calls his music “bardcore.” Ren’s earliest recordings on UA-cam are from his time in a band called “Trick The Fox,” consisting of Ren and his buddies Charlie and Tommy. Unfortunately, the band performed only briefly due to Ren’s onset of health issues. They are very talented. A fun clip to watch is “The Mash Up.”
Ren’s trilogy "The Tale of Jenny/Screech/Violet" has been likened to a Shakespearean tragedy and is a prime example of his genius; it is a master’s class in storytelling. The three acts are haunting, and the conclusion will catch you off guard. The trilogy needs to be watched in the order given, as this is the flow of the storyline and is best watched as a whole rather than piecemeal.
Ren’s collaborations with Chinchilla (“Chalk Outlines,” “How to Be Me,” “Sexual Healing,” “One Dance/Drunk in Love”) are beautiful and showcase his singing voice. 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.
"The Big Push" busking sessions, concerts, and live recordings all are awesome and well worth checking out. Their covers of "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop," "Wade in the Water/Nina Simone/Trouble so Hard," "An Englishman in New York," “Bongo Bong,” “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.
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. He released “Sick Boi” and “Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve retake),” which is another masterful work.
I’ve watched so many reaction videos I’ve lost count, but yours is my favorite. You said more by your gaze and silence. A very honest reaction. This video still takes my breath away, literally. True art.
Watching you @AlexNChannel react to this one-of-a-kind song and how you KNOW it is not a song but instead "Hi Ren" is ART! Thank you Ren❣
I fell down the Ren rabbit hole a few months ago. Hi Ren was unexpected and life altering. I've watched much of his channel and seen dozens of reactions since. Your reaction looked like what it felt to experience it the first time. Your respect and reverence for the internal battle, vulnerability and honesty as well as the talent that is Ren, was so touching. Thank you.
This is art of transcendent beauty and an *important* song. Artists often struggle with imposter syndrome.
There’s a movie starring Olivia Munn called “Violet” that rings of this and was a transformative experience for me… just as this song also resonates.
As a person who’s never been able to escape imposter syndrome and negative self-talk, *realizing* that I can exert the strength that destructive voice questions-strength that I *know* I have-was sooo important.
It takes time to push past the negativity-to make your own voice stronger, but if anyone out there is struggling with this, please please please *know* that you can do it.
*Know* that I believe in you… but you don’t need me to-just like you don’t need the shroud of doubt that feels first of protection and then as a prison.
You are *stronger* than that voice.
You are stronger than you can *possibly* know…
until you push back with softness or aggression-your choice.
I've watched 100+ Reactions to Hi Ren. Most are very moving and insightful. And IMO your's tops that list.
Thank you so much for not being afraid to bare your heart after seeing such a moving piece of art. Ren is a gift to be cherished.
It blew my mind, his naked honesty laid bare for all to see and learn from... Thank you for your very real human reaction brother... ✊🏽 You should check out his trilogy Jenny, Screech, and Violet the full version,,, Ren is a storytelling genius....
Its very touching seeing you taking the "subject matters" aspect seriously outside of acknowledging it as an Art. Because for me its the same. I do realize that it is a great music video, song and an art-form. But much more I am glad that at last this form of mental state of "divided personality" got this fantastic image and people can finally see what it is like and feel what it is like. This "thing" is hard to describe and even when people go visiting doctor they can not put into right words what they feel and what they are going through. Ren made a fantastic snap shot of this emotional and mental state and I am sure it will help thousands or millions of people.
Yes! I have a youtube channel, but I dont normally do reaction videos. I posted my own analysis of this song, an in depth look at the spiritual messages hidden in this masterpiece. Its truly a seed planting, life changing, kind of song.
It's been at least 75- 100 reactions I've watched since the first one....and not until yours have I literally broke down and sobbed as you were fighting back not to.....I sincerely pray you follow and subscribe to REN yourself....and I will forever watch your channel!!
The song structure itself is incredible. It starts off as a battle between his positive (Angel) and negative (Demon) aspects, the negative makes an overpowering last ditch effort to reign supreme, but ultimately fails as the final act, being the "God" aspect, emerges Triumphant, though still acknowledging and accepting that it will always be a battle because we are all "a coin with 2 different sides". It's a powerful piece of performance art that gives "broken" people HOPE. It's a beautifully raw musical masterpiece. Ren is special. Welcome to the Ren rabbit-hole, it's a trip worth taking.
This man has been sent at the right time in humans evolving! OR NOT!
Your reaction deserved my subscribing, I am a 67 Yr old woman and have never been so moved in my whole life. I could also see how moved you were by both the art form of this and also the mental health message within.
Thank-you for your honest reaction.
Hey mate. Visceral, huh?
I've spent a year not knowing if I'd ever walk again, had to learn to do so twice, PTSD blah blah. Constant pain. 25 years on.
When we can we fight. When we're weak we suffer. But trials and tribulations make us who we are.
This isn't just a song, this is a play. And it's just brilliant. I tear up every time I hear that ending.
It's also amazing because he performed this live. It's 1 take. (he had to do it a few times but the vocals are 1 take). Whenever I watch this it makes me feel like I'm peeking into someone's underwear drawer. Like taking a glimpse into their most private place. I am always a bit overwhelmed by the courage it would take to put yourself out there like this. Especially on social media which is usually not kind.
*I could never think about being that unbelievably honest with myself. ART is a good word to describe this masterpiece. If this* *song get’s one person going through a tough time to just think about loosining the noose on the rope it’s all worth it!.*
Totally agree that every language should hear this translated. It touches to every humans core.
Every time. It’s not just catchy, it stirs you. We ARE all human beings.
Best reaction to this masterpiece. Well said sir.
I’ve watched dozens of reactions to this in search of reactions like yours. One of the greatest pieces of art ever made by man.
"He used work of art to show his soul." Best description I have heard yet!
he is special......love your reaction
Great reaction to Ren! Also you should check the trilogy.. Jeeny tale, Screech tale and Violet tale!!! 🙏👍
Hi Alex, As Doreen below, I am 60 and have watched Hi Ren probably 50 times and seen at least 30 reaction videos. Yours is my favorite. You show your emotion, your heart, and your love. I feel the same as you. Thanks so much for your reaction.
every time i hear this a new lyric hits me. This time it was "cower at the man i've become when i sing at the top of my lungs"....the defiance in the face of adversity. This has to be the most important piece of music...art even, in a generation or more.
A Real reaction my brother, being a nurse for many years, it's unbelievable how this guy explain a fucking mental problem,wow... I think neither a doctor can explain like REN, RESPECT!
"I will never be the same after this song".... me too brother. Me too.
Beautiful reaction Alex.. Ren touches the heart and soul. He made me cry knowing how true it is.
Incredible reaction Alex. I have watched this song by Ren so many time recently and every time it hits me the same. When he sings "That I won't retire I'll stand in your fire inspire the meek to be strong" I still get tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. It is powerful stuff that speaks to so many people.
I stumbled on hi ren early this morning on my usual pentatonix new reactors search. I threw my usual routine of live with kelly and ryan, the view, and price is right to the wind to watch50 reactors react to this. yours is the first one i have left a comment on -i guess save the best for last applies- your reaction was so understated, but man could i know exactly what was going on in your mind , your face and your eyes. . if ren can produce this masterpiece despite years of his lyme disease being misdiagnosed as schizophrenia what could he have done had he been properly treated. This is the most powerful and important video i have evverseen. is there a way to petition the macarther genius committee to make them aware of him. he should be at the top of the list. . thank you for you magnificent reaction
This just might be my favorite reaction to this song yet and I've seen plenty. It was raw, honest and humble. Judging by your background we also have a similar taste in music so I think I'll have fun exploring the rest of your channel and subscribing for future videos as well. Also Hi Ren is definitely a masterpiece but his true masterpiece imo is The tale of Jenny and Screech (full). If you want to hear more of Ren I would recommend that one.
I have listened to this song over and over and cry every time. This hits home for me as my mother and uncle whom i was close with struggled with mental illness. Both of them took their own lives and devastated my world. This IS art, He is very talented and this is unlike anything i have ever heard. This subject cannot be touched enough since so many people in this world are hurting. This lets them know that they are not alone and to be strong.
Please share this and pass this to anyone and everyone even if you think they are not hurting. This needs worldwide recognition!!! Thank you ren for putting out this masterpiece!
This song wrecked me for days because I’ve gone thru a ton of issues. But it helps each time I listen.
Excellent reaction! You are I. For a treat since Ren has so much more music/art out there!
Unbelieveable... doing this live in one take!
I cried my eyes out 1st time i saw this and i love to see peoples first reaction to it.
It touches people cause we can all empathise with Ren.
Calling it a song or music isnt doing it justice its an artistic performance.
I have watched more than thirty reactions to this song...and I've cried every time. It is a truly astonishing piece of work.
yep, same here. I've listened to it dozens of times and watched many reaction vids. This is now my favorite. I agree with everything you said.
Great reaction. I couldn’t talk and sometimes still brings me up while hitting me hard. Amazing song.
Ren is pure healing.
Hope you gonna check out some more of his output over the last years and we get to see how you feel and think about it. 🙏
I am a metal head too and I heard this and it changed my whole outlook on my own mental illness, you saying you are not entitled to say anything, i disagree this was a very thoughtful and compassionate reaction and I thank you for that. This is the kind of reaction, after seeing, it must be hundreds of Ren reactions, the kind of reaction that truly matters, as fans of Ren we cherish and thank you for your time in doing a reaction to a topic, that is as profound, powerful, and emotionally charged as this one is.
I loved your line” soul exploding into art.” How well put. Your reaction touched me deeply. So, Thankyou.
Thank you, Alex, for one of the most real, intelligent and emotionally mature reactions to Hi Ren out here!
God DAMNIT. I've seen this video at least 100 times. And I'm standing here bawling. Your reaction was just perfect. Thank you.
I agree pure art.
I've watched more reactions than is probably healthy... This was my favourite!
Great Reaction! When I first saw this I cried too.
Dig your lights in the background btw.
You may want to watch Ren's "The Tale of Jenny and Screech" full version(Violet's Tale is the 3rd part) Pay close attention, big twist at the end.
Btw, I started listening to Metallica my freshman year in HS in 1982. I wore out my "Kill'em All" cassette. Got to see them live at Monsters of Rock in Houston Texas in 87 with the Scorpions and Van Hallen. Show was crazy good.
This song embodies the soul battling to express itself against all the forces arrayed against it.
I too cried the first, second, third, fourth...time I heard it. And I have watched many reaction channels comment on this. I have to say your reaction was so real, honest and one of the best in so many ways! Thank you!!
It's a masterpiece. The only thing I could even remotely compare it to was when I watched the video of Hurt by Johnny Cash. However, I was 23 when that came out. A whole lot has happened to me in those 20 years, good and bad. One of the bad things is the deterioration of my mental health. I've never connected more with anything else like I have with this.
Oh it has happened to him more than any human should have to bear.
I have heard this song at least 150 times and just cried again.
Liked and subscribed brother, truly thank you for sharing. This is the first time I've come across your channel, and I'm glad for it. Since I first saw this work of art in January, I may have seen close to 100 reactions to it, and while most are special in their own right, yours was one of the most authentic, heartfelt, and sincere.
This one kicks all of us in the gut, but it also opens up a place in the heart to be vulnerable and to self-assess without the overwhelming negativity that usually comes with that. It's like this song fills your heart so much that some of it spills over. It is a much needed cathartic release from some of our self-imposed burdens, if only for a little while.
Yeah this song gets me every time. I have had plenty of troubling times. I can very much relate to this song. I believe you, sir, are wrong about it now being your place to comment on this song. I believe this song is a gift from Ren, who might have bared his soul so that other may as well too. I think any human should have the right to talk this and should talk and share more. I believe that may be part of the reason for the problems of today. People who don't talk. People who feel alone in a world FULL of people. And I believe some modern stuff only makes it worse. Yeah, you can talk to people without even leaving your house now. Thousands if not millions of people, all on a little screen. But you are all alone. I don't think it's a good substitute for the personal touch. I could go on forever. But I thank you for the reaction video. This Ren really makes reaction videos true to their names. I have never seen such a reaction from virtually every reaction channel. I've seen metalheads and hard core rapper guys break down into tears. I've seen ones that would normally stop the video 50 times that didn't stop it, because they didn't feel it right to stop what he was saying. I've seen ones that normally have a lot to say at the end, who were absolutely speechless. It's just interesting. His song is just so easy to relate too. I believe everyone has an inner voice. Young, old, rich, poor, whether you had a supportive environment or your parents had you locked in the basement. Some people's voices are louder than others. And some, (off their meds) may see the person with the voice. See what I mean about going on forever? Thanks man, dig the channel!!
REN Live i shot the Sheriff with the Big Push Band , another aspect of Ren s musicality , enjoy
Great reaction to this music. You showed true emotion and that is good. We are all human after all.
Recommend you listen to 'The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full)' next.
Empathy and sincerity is what drew me to Ren, and its what made me like and subscribe your reaction
Being a music lover all my life this breaks all the boundaries and cuts to the soul there is no other way to put it is art in its truest form.
I cried about the first 3 times. But get goosebumps every time
The first time I heard that shit, I didn't really compute. It was like an error 404. I had to listen to a few more times to fully appreciate it and really make my opinion. Obviously, it is a masterpiece. The sang part, when Hope starts singing, never fails to move me. Ren is such a great actor.
Thank you, your reaction was beautiful. :)
Thank you for sharing your reaction. It makes me feel connected to you (and other authentic reactors) that we share this emotional experience. Great job.
When you say you will never be the same after this song.i feel the same and millions of people think the same way.this is THE BEST SONG OF 2023 ,BUT ,it came out December
High art. It cannot be denied. It demands to be listened to all the way through - several times.
Oprah should interview this guy.
Beat ren reaction I've seen. He is a genius
He has changed my life in a really positive way with his Masterpiece.
Hi. I'm new subscriber from this reaction. I could feel your heart. Creative people like ren have been few in my lifetime. Freddie mercury, sting, Kurt Cobain, David bowie, johnny Cash, Garth Brooks, Elton John, Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, Elvis, Prince, Chester Bennington. You see my point, I can give you nostalgic memories of when I first heard each of those artists. I love all genres.
Ren having gone thru struggle has imo made him be a to truly see the human soul connection. It's important to appreciate life with all the good and bad. Recognize we are all going thru something. Music is emotion like a feeling of home to me. iT allows me to feel sad, happy, hurt, gratitude so many emotions. Feeds the soul. Ren is that artist of his generation that will stand out in music as a Great. Please check out Freckled Angels ( live) , chalk outlines with chinchilla ( live), how to be me ( live) you won't be disappointed but maybe a bit tearful.
Easily the best reaction I've seen by far. Awesome Sir, cheers
I struggle with this everyday. I have to listen to this song to keep me calm and relaxed.. Bless anyone who listens to this work of art!!
He's not preaching a 'how to win' self help guide. It's His story, what He went through & how He deals with it.
Everybody is taken aback with his first bars using falsetto/head-voice at the beginning, but then you're almost singing along at the end reprise.
At the start his singing is so timid/tentative, like a little mouse peeking out & then his alter-ego immediately starts worming it's way in, putting him down and turning his every positive thought against him.
After he takes back control his singing is more assured/confident, even celebratory.
He acted the part so well for the video too - so timid & cautious - while his alter-ego was so sarcastic & clearly dominant.
The final monologue has everyone sitting still to hear every word and I think all the more powerful because it offers a measure of hope without a quick fix solution.
If anyone can watch this and be unaffected in any way at all, then they can't be human!!! This is a masterpiece!!!! Bravo!!!
Danke für Ihre Reaktion!
How often do we want to go back and experience something this profound and wonderful again for the first time? I can't time travel, but I imagine watching your reaction is as close as I am going to get to reliving it again. Thank you.
Love your authentic reaction. I’d LOVE to see how The Tale of Jenny & Screech (full) affects you. Made me cry like a baby.
