    Ren has proven that the Money Game can be beaten because he won #1 album in the UK. Deep this - a lad born in the quaint Welsh countryside, burdened by his illnesses, with little money and a shitload of help/friends has just beaten giants like Drake and Rick Astley😅

    Omg your brother passed away like that too! Mine did about 13 years ago. It's so hard to go through all the things in your head that you might have done to help, but ultimately it's their decision. Very difficult for any family to go through and you have my condolences because I know what kind of pain you went through. On a positive note though great reaction to Ren's MG masterpiece. Thanks for showcasing this on your channel. Amazing storyteller he is yes. Let's hope he leads people out of the dark.

    Yes kudos to the piano player who kicked Ren off the Yamaha, and continued playing flawlessly the score written by Ren. How many artists can wrap to a piano ? This was meticulously planned and executed by Ren and Samuel's team. A particular hi-light for me is the confidence Ren has in the team as he flops backward into the wheelchair and the sound of the bottle hitting the floor and rolling. Pure class. One of the violin players also sits still as some of the "rain" slightly mis-directed drenches her and her bow. Loved your reaction to this one.

    It is two one-takes. The break is when the camera pans behind the wheelchair. They could only do the rain scene once and had to move the lapel mic to his tie. The look of awe on your face when you saw the string quartet was priceless, Shae. I loved your reaction.

    The piano in sync with the voice is on another level, I write songs and use the usual chord progression, layers of textures and structures, themes and motifs etc. But what's happening here is a single line of piano that mirrors the "dialogue" in an extraordinary way. This is so exciting and makes me look at the whole thing from a different angle I can't explain how big this is for me. Generational talent !

    Ren composed all the music for this including the piano which was played by a classical pianist called Charlie (apart from the start which was Ren). I think they said that Yamaha leant them that beautiful piano and even provided someone to tune it for them. You asked if it was a one -take - there was at least one cut, when the camera went behind the wheelchair, to allow the string quartet to get into position. Absolutely stunning video !

    Yep Ren does it again, what a fantastic artist, we are so lucky that he lets his art be available to all, a true game changer in the music industry, there has to be a Ren musical/ hip hop opera in the pipeline, imagine his next album being 10 or 12 tracks all linked together along the lines of the “tales” with videos too them, now that would be a real concept album

    You did amazing here, picking up on a lot of small details that took me several views to get. Like his shirt and tie all of a sudden being all messed up. The video was a live one-take, including the piano and strings.
    As for Ren spoiling modern music it's funny you say that. When I first discovered Hi Ren I was just falling in love with a band called The Warning. I was honestly bummed out, fearing I would never see them the same after Ren. Turns out they're still bad ass though. I was relieved lol. Great job.

    Has anyone noticed the reverence to the "Wish You Were Here" Cover Art (Pink Floyd) with the two in business suits shaking hands and passing on a suitcase?
    As of now, I haven't heard a reactor jump on it, even those that did react to that Pink Floyd song with the Cover Art in a thumbnail some time ago or read a comment pointing at it, so I grabbed the chance of doing so now.
    Having watched ALL of his videos from Children Of The Moon all the way to Money Game Part 3, plus the Brighton busking and the Big Push vids, I can now savely conclude;
    Ren is the best artist to come from the British Islands since the Monty Pythons (Terry Jones being, another brilliant Welsh-Man btw, a driving force) and Peter Greenaway.
    Now Ren Gill is right next them topping a long list.

    Hope: “I’m the voice you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope…”.
    This return line from “Hi, Ren” is important. In the beginning of the video, Ren (Jimmy) loosens the noose from the “money bag” around his head. Similar bags were used when people were hanged so that the audience/executioners did not have to see the physical, human reaction to their death. Facing the truth of death, struggle, and, ultimately, being guilty of whichever crime someone is guilty of, is important.
    Ren’s tale of Jimmy is one of revelation and of hope. It is one of self-realization and regret. But also, it is one of warning to the future; a chance at something better if people would just “heed this word to the wise”.
    Brilliant!

    This was Rens first video that cost more than $1000 to produce, and most earlier productons by Ren and crew were filmed using a phone camera and on a totally restricted shoestring budget. This video, they say, was filmed with at least 1/3 the money that would have been spent on a production of equal quality by industry standards. It just goes to show that when one puts in the effort, great things can and are accomplished by those driven to make them happen. Great reaction as always with you being the Ren fangirl you've become.
