    Stages of watching Hi Ren:
    This looks creepy
    Guitar sounds nice
    Oh he’s singing
    Will the whole song be like this?
    Here’s the beat
    Ok he’s rapping now
    This guy is scary
    Now he seems nice
    Oh I see what he’s doing
    This is interesting
    This is intense
    The mean guy is a jerk
    This is INTENSE
    Make it stop
    I haven’t blinked or taken a breath in 2 minutes
    Go Ren!
    YES!
    OOO-OO-OO-OO-OO-..
    I need some time to be still…

      for him
      the idea of “I’ve arrived” at least as he portrays it in his song, was that at one time it involved Oprah and him winning a Grammy.
      Who am I to judge his secret dreams and ambitions, of which I feel he wholeheartedly deserves?

    So, for context, Ren has Lyme disease, but by a tick as a teen and the medical professionals he first saw misdiagnosed him, told him it was all in his head, so it got worse, and as he saw all his friends have an eventful and fun twenties, he was bed-bound for years and it caused different levels of psychosis. He took that time to learn more about his guitar and songwriting. He's been a musician for a long while, in fact I think he was working with Sony before he was diagnosed, due to his being bed-bound, they dropped him. I might have a few things missing here, but this guy's got the walk to back his talk.

      I had no idea what the bullseye rash and flu was that I was experiencing . After being bedridden for two weeks I then carried on travelling and got worse year on year until 2012. I was nearly dead! It’s taking me years to heal with holistic medicine. It’s brutal on so many levels. Family and friends don’t believe you. The medical system totally dismisses you. The Australian government they even have Lyme there. I ended up going round and round and round in circles. I realising more and more that I need to share my story. There are so many people suffering with no help and living such crap lives because of how they’ve been failed.

    Another YT reactor said "Ren is a Wormhole, I need to deep dive this guy" and that's exactly it - I, like thousands of his Community (for that is what his presence has created amongst his followers), see him with one performance and automatically we feel compelled to deep dive and watch everything he has produced- and each piece is so unique, a surprise, covering a multitude of genres brilliantly. He's a lyrical and performance genius (his solo piano playing is exquisite) who truly captivates his audience and draws them into his world, yet so authentic and humble. His Reach is two- pronged I feel: those who simply enjoy and appreciate his musical and performance genius; and those who resonate with parts of his story as he articulates our own pain and struggles, our own battles of Darkness and Light. Imo, he's a celestial being, an Earth Angel, a born Warrior of Light and is now stepping into his Power and breathing life and blood into his wings to shine his Light of hope, inspiration and validation through the myriad of gifts and talents he has, and with this piece in particular has created a Portal for so many others now to feel safer to step into and express and expose themselves, their perfections and imperfections, their mental health struggles and demons that is normally so stigmatised and deeply misunderstood by those who've not experienced it. I'm so glad for him this deeply personal, vulnerable masterpiece is now giving him the reach and spotlight he deserves - he's worked so hard for it -"Renlentessly" - for so long whilst still battling ill health. He really will continue to rise in the music that he leaves behind...

    It's relatable to people in all walks of life.
    Because, of that people are connecting in an unexpected place. Each other.
    People have been sharing incredible stories of personal struggles and how they are coping.

    This was a very enjoyable, honest, and heartfelt reaction. God bless you. "Hi Ren" is the song that put Ren on everyone's radar over the past month; it went viral and garnered more than 2 million views in a couple of weeks, but he has been creating great music for more than 10 years. His latest release, "Sick Boi," is almost another chapter to "Hi Ren." I am 57 y/o, and I only recently learned about Ren and have gone down this rabbit hole ever since. Many of the subjects, experiences, and emotions expressed in his songs touch me on a very personal level because I can relate to and identify with many of his struggles.
    A little background on Ren that I gathered from the internet. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, he began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. In 2010, he was signed by Sony Records and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue. His illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours a day. Ren was initially diagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome. It would take seven years before he was finally correctly diagnosed with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and brain damage. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure. He is currently in Canada for more treatments.
    He plays multiple instruments, has amazing vocals, is an excellent storyteller, and is quite the philosopher and poet. Check out the trilogy "The Tale of Jenny/Screech/Violet." It is haunting and has an unforeseen conclusion; WATCH THEM IN THE STATED ORDER, as this is the flow of the storyline or just watch “The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full),” which includes “Violet’s Tale at the end. It is another example of Ren’s genius and a master’s class in storytelling.
    Ren’s collaborations with Chinchilla (“Chalk Outlines,” “How to Be Me”) are beautiful and showcase his singing voice while addressing mental health. I would watch the official live music videos. "Chalk Outlines" is one of my favorite songs right now. 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.
    His performances with Sam Tompkins (“Blind Eyed,” “Earned it /Mans World / Falling”), Eden Nash (“Humble,” “Ocean”), Bibi (“Crutch,” “Ahiahiaoha”), Molly McKinna (“Penitence”), his former bandmate, Romain Axisa (“French Song”) are all great. Ren's performances as a member of the band "The Big Push" (which unfortunately broke up) are awesome and well worth checking out, both the busking (street performances) and their live recordings. Ren's covers of "I Shot the Sheriff," "Oh My Woman," "Wade in the Water," "An Englishman in New York," and so many others are equally impressive and really give you a sample of his vocal ability.
    Ren just released his latest single, “Sick Boi.” In anticipation of his stay in Canada for more treatments, Ren prepared some music ahead of time to be released over the next 3-6 months that he expects to be gone. "Sick Boi" is almost another chapter to "Hi Ren."

      @@TrevandErin Just look for "Jenny's Song (Full)" if you want to do a reaction to all 3, but it might be a good thing to do them each individually in order, for more content - which is fine because he wrote them at different times and combined them into one big song after the third was written. Chalk Outlines (Live version) is also another decent one-take performance.

As some have already pointed out, the Trilogy of Jenny, Screech and Violet (to be watch in this order, there is a video regrouping all of them on his channel) is another great piece to discover, as are Money Game part 1 and 2 (and really, so much more of his work).

This knowledge helped me to understand a part of the « Sick Boi » song as to « why » it is in there (the first time I listened to it without knowing about the label thing, I didn't really get what I thought was a change of subject in the song, but now that I do, I completely understand how it is actually deeply related to the rest of it), so before you watch it, I thought I'd share. :)

      Jenny's Tale, Screech's Tale and Violet's Tale are a trilogy of songs that were all recorded live.

    My all time favorite reaction and I've watched more Ren reactions than I would like to admit.
    I absolutely loved watching your progression of emotions. Ren is an artist who will pull all your inner emotions out for you. All of his songs are wonderful for many reasons. Watching a person become a full fledged Renegade in a matter of one song is an awesome thing to be a part of. Thanks for this awesome reaction. ❤

    Ren is the real deal! He's walked the walk and can definitely talk the talk. He has an amazing voice, can play phenomenally, and can also beat box! He is just amazing!!! So happy people are going down the Ren rabbit hole, check out The Big Push it's the band he plays/played with.

      He really is the real deal. I'm definitely gonna do more of him! That's why I love reactions and reactors I honestly wouldn't have heard of him i don't think if I didn't get suggested this song and see all the reactors reacting to him

    Your reaction to this song was beautifully authentic.
    I'm a 45 year old mother of 3 and this song really got me ❤️
    I think Ren is a poet.

    Since I first viewed this "work of art", I have done nothing but watch reactions. Yours has been my favorite! I just wanted to point out something. When he says "I will kill you", it's not suicidal thoughts. The "sane" Ren, is saying he will ki the demon Ren. Only mistake was, he says "lock you inside". Ren has discovered a lot of truths. I wonder, just how much he truly understands about what he has learned. How deep his understanding goes. I think he has reached true discernment, in this truth. People think of the human body as a one seater. That it has one soul, and nothing more. This is wrong. Every human has a back seat. If we don't invite in the Holy Spirit, then we are left open for a demon, a fallen angel, to become the back seat driver. Notice Ren challenged evil at the age of 17. And his trouble started. He hadn't made a relationship with our Heavenly Father. And evil took him up on his challenge. And he has been sick ever since. I pray Ren evicted that evil spirit. You can't kill them. And you certainly don't even want to "lock them inside". You want to invite in the Holy Spirit. And let the Holy Spirit throw out the evil spirit. Notice how he said he "softened". Learned to relax. He became HUMBLE! "Through HIM all things are possible. But ONLY through Him! New age religions tell people that we are all gods. Evils deception! We are humans. Flawed by nature. And God's children! With the authority over evil! But only if we humble ourselves to God.
    Thank you for this reaction! It is my favorite one. GOD BLESS

      it's a bit debatable, since "demon ren" IS him. Which demon ren even expressly says.. it's fair to consider that normal ren could consider killing himself to be free of his demon.. Anyway, its got a lot of layers, and enjoyable to spend time thinkin on the layers as they apply to our own stuggles!

    It's an amazing performance. I think it's right up there with Freddie Mercury at Live Aid, or the Pink Floyd reunion for Live 8, or Hendrix on the Lulu show, or the Adele Tiny Desk concert - it's as good as any of them. Not just the musicianship of a top singer, rapper and guitarist, but the ability to inspire people to make the video, and to get them to understand and execute the vision. Make no mistake, this is the start of something very big for everyone involved.
    [And if you think Ren is the best singer in his sphere, check out his stuff with Chinchilla. I hope they are still making music together. So much talent.]

    I've been watching reaction videos to this song for 10 days now and am working on a very long blog post which might turn into more than one, not only about the song, but the reactions its causing, and I want to say yours has moved into my list of favorites.
    I LOVED how you took so much time with the words, rewinding, pondering, speaking; I LAUGHED in the middle where you became conscious of how many times you had said, "bro" (very endearing, self-deprecating/self-aware humor!); and I was MOVED by how much the song moved you. I've seen a few reaction videos where the people, for whatever reason, concealed how moved they were but to me, one of the many gifts of this song is how universally it is moving people and opening our hearts.
    Anyway, bro, lol, I'm gonna make a late add to the blog post so your video, complete with the thumbnail, gets included in my list of favorites! Well done....you've got a new subscriber in me, too!
