Original Song:
• Ren - Hi Ren (Official... - Розваги
Thank you so much for having me on, friend. I loved it and I love YOU!
❤
Such a great reaction! Keep dancing.
You were an amazing guest. Really appreciate how well you express yourself and how you added your direct experiences to Ren’s lyrics. Thank you. ❤
More Ren for Wendy reactions, please.!!
The tales rosie next ,put her through that chaos.!!
I love that the Renagades fan base just keeps growing and growing.!!
Great job, bring in newbies, bring in more..
Great reaction.
🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧😁✌️👍❤️🙏
Love you❤
As a combat veteran I will tell you that this song brings tears to my eyes. “some people know me as hope, some people know me me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope.” I’ve been there! Ren is a treasure!!
Ditto - been there & it hits home every time.
"the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope.” - I don't know how anyone can hear that line and not just want to stop and contemplate being in that place... and then bawling....
Thank you for your service! Much respect.
I've sat with a .45 to my noodle. I get it.
@@guyfyffe5920 😥
Every time someone cries I cry with them,
No matter how many times I watch dam it
Same. 😊
Empathy is a good thing and I think that I will be more concerned if I ever stop crying along with these viewers. Sensitivity to the pain another is feeling is a sense which we in this world need to improve on. Too many are hurting in our world and too few are aware of how deep it runs. The collective unconscious is wincing
Yup. EVERY fucking time, and then i'm doing the gaspy thing when he stands up.
Me too 😂😂❤❤
Omg she made me cry 😭
The first time I heard this piece, I cried for a solid hour, then made an appointment with a therapist. I have become a student...not a victim. Online...I realized I was one of MILLIONS. Wait, what? You feel like that TOO????? Six months down the road....I am lighter, stronger, happier.....The raging demon is now an inconsiderate room mate. When he stands up...on his own two feet....and the surge of reggae triumph....LOVE THIS! Watch Jenny/Screech/Violet. Same thing...hard to watch, at first.....especially for those of us who have lived it....but it NEEDED to be said; and in such a BEAUTIFUL way...
❤️❤️❤️
If you choose to watch or listen to Jenny/Screech/Violet, Ensure you watch them that specific order as it is a story running through the three songs.
Ren's music has been a huge help in me becoming sober . Thank you Ren
That's brilliant. And well done. Keep up the good work. 👍
I want peace for you. It is a forever grind that is hard as hell and revisits often. ☮☮ & 💜💜
Thank you both, truly.
I am killing myself with alcohol and I don't know what to do.
*hugs* and love!! You rock and I'm cheering for you.
Ren is the ultimate rabbit hole, a musician of a generation honestly a true artist
This!!!!!
Never seen anyone react so emotionally so quickly to this masterpiece. You should prob ease her into some of his heavier track. Great guest!!
💯

Agree. Maybe Back on 74, Losing It, Blind Eyed with the Angry Parking Attendant B4 Sick Boi, Chalk Outlines, or How to Be Me
@@dmj4966nah chuck her in the deep end😂
I shot the sheriff is so great! Check it out. :)
To this day I ask myself the question: why did I even watch this video?
It's not my taste in music, at least that's what I would have said back then, and English is difficult for me to understand, I have to work out a lot of it through translation!
So... why did I watch it and was immediately moved, even though I could only understand half of it?
Well - my answer today is probably: because it's Ren, Ren and his way of presenting this song, and that's also the reason why I'm a big fan of Ren's art today!
The translation is getting easier for me, often it's not even necessary anymore!
Ren touched me as an artist in a way like no other!
Thank you Rosalie and thank you to your good friend!
It was a pleasure to watch this analysis👏👏👏
❤️from Germany 👍🤝🙋♀️
I love how ren has formed this international Web of nice human beings in such an ugly world 🇬🇧😊
sometimes the words only get in the way
there is music but the music is a device. just like ink and papyrus. it tells of humanity... and the best thing is if you really dive into REN... he does address the darkness... but his light side... it is amazing. don't box him into a black space. DO watch the tale of Jenny & Screech and DO watch all 3 parts of money game... ... but also watch back to 74 and watch him busking and watch him in his flat singing Englishman in New York. ... he is fucking brilliant. brave enough to show the ugly. knowledgeable enough to know we need to smile.
@@McLeod2022 Yes 💯
❤️from Germany 👍🤝🙋♀️
What a great guest - so free and articulate and expressive.
Thank you so much! How kind.
Agreed 💯 Wendi you're amazing and thank you for sharing this vulnerability with us 🫶
There is something so beautiful about seeing people capable of really connecting and being able to express their emotions that it amazes me. And being so quick to react like that gave the impression of a deeper understanding of our human condition itself, not to mention the problems that Ren had experienced itself. Nice.
Definitely bring her back for the whole Ren rollercoaster! 🔥
Please 🙏
Yes, I'm here for it! ❤
there is also so much joy... he directly addresses the dark head on... and he also slays out such fantastic love. ....
“I stood in the flames that cremated my brains and didn’t once flinch or shake” is the most profound line when you realize he’s talking about overcoming brain damage.
Welcome to the RENegades. We've all shed tears over this song and several others of his. We love you!
Truth ❤
Wendi was great!!! What a genuine reaction. The fact Wendi connected with this so deeply reminded me how I felt. I saw this for the first time in early February 2023 and it changed me. I have heard this 100’s of times and watched 100’s of reactions to it. I Still cannot get through this without tears. A true masterpiece. Rosalie please bring Wendi back for more Ren❤
Yes!
I 2nd that yes 😊
Such a visceral reaction, I felt like my heart broke when Wendi’s did. As many others have said, I think it would be great to take Wendi for the whole Ren journey. Rosalie, outstanding content as always. You two have an excellent chemistry together on camera. Looking forward to more!
💯
💯
Totally agree. That was a very absorbing, intelligent conversation on the subject. Thanks to both
Same... Fantastic reaction and so honest and visceral! 🫶
The movie Wendi is thinking about is "Dogma". Also, Wendi mentioned the line "...just take another pill, boy..." but it really part of that inner critic saying, "We've been here before, this treatment won't work as all these others didn't (it lists a few)." And as Ren responds to the inner critic, notice, he becomes more and more frantic in trying push it away, citing all the good things that are happening but this only feeds the inner critic and so much so, it near dominates Ren. But just before all is lost, Ren gathers himself, calms down and responds so beautifully, accepting that all that is happening to him is for a positive reason. And my favorite line from that part is "I am known by many names also, some know me as Hope or the voice you hear when the loose the noose on the rope." As suffering of mental health issues, I don't hear voice quite like that but I self-sabotage myself by daydreaming all this grandiose things where I am best of best at some sport or might titan of industry knowing how utterly impossible it is so instead of trying for a more reachable goal, I just give up and do nothing, feeling like nothing. As far as inner critic, I wonder, as with any argument, it takes two. So, if you don't react, don't defend yourself to yourself, can you silence that part of yourself? Anyhow, thank you both for reviewing this moving song and for Wendi sharing about herself. That means alot - we are not alone - we are human beings.
Wendi ... your reaction was beautiful. Thanks Rosalie for introducing her to Ren. Much love to you both.
One of if not the best reaction so far to Hi Ren, having seen over 300 reactions and lost count of the time just playing the track it still brings a tear to my eyes every time. 60 years young and Ren is the best artist in my lifetime.
Hi bili, I am 53 years old. I say old cause I suffered a stroke and now I feel old. But that’s another story. I lost count of how many reaction videos I’ve watched and like you I cry every time I hear this song. Hi Ren was my first introduction to Ren and now I can’t get enough of him. I totally agree with you Ren is the best artist in my lifetime, by a long, long way.. He has some great music but Hi Ren is something else. I truely believe that no one, not even Ren or anyone else will ever write a song better than Hi Ren. It will stand forever as the greatest song ever written.
Yall Gotta do his Back on 74/Message in a Bottle next!!! Lol
So she can see his flexibility!
You too... one you missed as well!
It's been a year and five months since I first heard "Hi Ren" and it still brings the tears and emotions. I remember hearing it in bits and pieces on Justin Hawkins' channel and thinking " sounds really interesting but I can't imagine any sort of replay value". I couldn't have been more wrong. This song and Ren's journey have encouraged me to seek help for my own issues. It's been life changing.
💯
Whew! Wendi, there, got beat up. Love to see an empathic authentic human being ❤
Yep Wendi needs a UA-cam channel where she not only reacts to Ren and others but shares her story. I'll definitely check out her podcast, but I have a feeling she'll do really well in the UA-cam space and she can definitely help and educate others which is the most important thing!
💯
That’s so kind of you to say!
What a great thoughtful brilliant review. She really added weight and intelligence to all the bulk of reactions. She was so insightful
Awesome! Please bring her in again for more Ren :)
Thank you for showing great restraint when letting your friend just watch and absorb the song in full. Many reactions can't help themselves butting in to explain parts they think might have been missed. 👍
Enjoy your journey Wendi, the rabbitt hole awaits.
I had tears too … ❤ thank you for sharing your vulnerability. We are not alone.
I'll be 60 this year, and I have quite literally experienced THE BEST OF THE BEST in music history!! But I sincerely have never encountered anyone quite like Ren. I'm addicted to Hi Ren reactions to see just when and at what point during the song their lives change before my very eyes, and share in that moment with them. Ren is a PHENOMENON!! I blessed to be alive to witness and experience the hope I had always prayed for humanity's future. God bless you both! ❤
I literally can't breathe. When Wendy shed her first tear, something inside of me broke as if I was rewatching this beautiful masterpiece for the first time all over again. So I tried to contain myself and try to pay attention to Wendy's reaction bcs I knew for sure it would be pure gold. And it was. But containing myself not to cry all over again made me lose my breath so fast. Rosalie, thank you for showing this to Wendy. I needed this, we all needed it ❤
BIG shout out to Rosalies friend.Have a GREAT day Ladies 💯👍
Best reaction ever!
Great reaction! I love the point that you can't NOT think about , say chocolate ice cream, by not thinking about it. The only way you can do it is to think about something else.
That's A réaction!!! In silence whithout cut, just feel. Bravo from france
I love all these reactors introducing Ren to different people and adding to the family of Renegades,nice one Rosalie,much love from the UK ❤️
Wendi's reaction to this song had me in tears as well; some of those lyrics ("you have to kill you if you want to kill me!" and "I am the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope") almost always brings me to tears. As a writer I suspect Wendi would really appreciate the story-telling genius of the Jenny & Screech trilogy. My goodness I would love to watch Wendi's reaction. 🔥 Thank you Rosalie for such a great video. 🌹
Great comments from your friend. I love watching how 'Hi Ren' affects people. I know he wants to surpass it, and he came pretty close with his last Money Game video, but I really don't think he'll ever surpass it.
As Sinead O'Connor said after hearing 'Hi Ren' "This Archangel from like, twelfth heaven or somewhere, has only gone and made the entire history of songwriting and performing look like a three year old's birthday party at Burger King"
I haven't seen this quote before, thanks. Got a link?
@@ashebanow no, but just google Sinead O'Connor Hi Ren and you'll see it.
I loved the call out that everyone has a bit of darkness and can connect. I've personally never been clinically depressed or suicidal, but the battle with yourself, self confidence, self hatred, cynicism, pessimism, etc. are all completely relatable.
Thank you 🙏❤ Wendy & Rosalie ❤ for your 🐷 Ren - ♿ Hi Ren reaction! #ren #hiren
Wonderful reaction you guys, I really enjoyed that!
Ugh the look of love you (Rosalie) has towards Ren in the video says so much. Your guest getting so emotional so quickly says so many good things about her too.
(Also Rosalie your hair looks gorgeous!)
(I think the movie she is referring to is maybe Dogma (1999))
What a great point about the song being like a psalm!
Wonderful reaction! Please come back for more Ren Wendi. You're very receptive to all the nuances, and hearing your take on his art based on your own experience was very rewarding.
Thank you so much!
PLEASE do Violet's Tale Trilogy with your friend Wendi!
I guess this is really what it should be called, but the trilogy is named "The tale of Jenny and Screech". Just so anyone looking will find the correct one, since searching for Violets tale will only give you the last part of the trilogy.
We want to see her reaction everytime she see's a new one!
As an author, I wonder how she rates Ren's writing capacity. Cramming his personal journey, and those millions of others who suffer mental issues, in one video. 😊
As an author, she likely knows better than to try to describe it in numbers.
Rosalie, first off, I love your channel. The angle from which you approach your analysis results in such interesting and edifying discoveries for me. I love your compassion and how openly you discuss all matters of the mind and heart.
Your friend, Wendi is so brilliant and thoughtful as well. I can see how you two would be best friends. She said she could speak about 'Hi Ren' for hours and I for one would be delighted to watch and listen to all of it. Thank you so much for sharing this emotionally stirring and entertaining discussion with Wendi. Hearing how her life experience informed her reaction made it all the more impactful.This is one of my very favorite reactions to Hi Ren or to any performance piece offered on UA-cam for that matter. Much Love to you both,
Gjon
She is such a great guest, thank you for getting her involved.
WOW.What a privilege sharing your Dear friends intro to REN🙂
Indeed ,it was yourself who introduced me to this masterpiece. I am so grateful.
I do hope to share some more REN you and Wendyin the future😃❤👍🙏
This particular song was recorded in one take, with four cameras... As raw as it can get. I cry almost every time I hear this song. Such deep meaning.
Let your friend listen to Patience, she'll love it.
Wendi your reaction was so beautiful... i hope you come back for more Ren reactions. But i definitely agree she may need to be eased into his catalog
Your title was right she wasnt ready for ren watching her connect almost immediately and be affected so deeply was truly heartwarming and then the more it went the more it pulled her in and then towards the end it was like relief and release I liked her take on it all I think she is going to be a true fan she just gets it much like you do. as always your ride or die forever Eyyyyyy Oooooo
just wonderful reaction too
I've seen Hi Ren over 100 times, still I shed tears with you, Wendi! 😂
Great reaction! Really hits me when he says 'You know how I know that I'll prosper? Because I stand here before you today.'
I loved her genuine reaction. I still get tears at different parts of Hi Ren.
He's as close to being Shakespearian as we've had in the UK for centuries.
Her reaction to The tale of Jenny and Screech is going to be interesting!
Maybe show her something a little more uplifting from him next.
Bardcore.
love this reaction! Your friend may also want to see Chalk Outlines or How to be Me
Rosalie-i don’t think anyone is surprised that you have beautiful friends such as yourself. I love that you introduced someone to Ren. He is worth sharing. One suggestion…provide tissues. 😊i hope she is able to listen to Ren’s 1M subscribers video.
Great reaction, genuine, sincere, and touching.
Also as a sidenote, Rosalie is looking incredible in this video 🥵
Hi Wendi!! Nice to meet you. I think this hit you particularly hard, it did me too, when I first heard it. For me it was because I know that bitter little voice that Ren was talking to. I write as a hobby, and I know that voice too well. I hear it before I post or submit anything. We are all our own worst critics and I think it's even worse for writers because we have the vocabulary for that little voice to say some descriptive, hurtful comments. You have found something special with Ren. I would go so far as call him a Troubadour, or a modern-day bard.
I loved hearing your friend's perspective!
She actually was ready for it. Awesome empathy and understanding.
This was a beautiful reaction. I don't think much more needs to be said. 👏
That reaction was so insightful. Thank You Both.
You Soooo Gotta get more mental health care people on here!
Rens music is medicine... Period!!!
Must be shared... for Free!!!
Hey Wendy, beautiful guest, wonderful reaction, thank you ladies❤😊
I cried right along with your friend. Her facial features told me how deep her pain got. Ty Rosalie for bringing her on.
Please have her back for more Ren. This was a beautiful reaction allround.
Great reaction guys! Lots of insights there from Wendi, especially for a first listen! Cheers
Chalk outlines
Wow! Someone that is even MORE emphatic than me. That is not often. She literally felt the pain, with EVERY hard word, every unjust accusation. After some hundreds of reactions this hit me HARD. This is how I felt and most likely expressed, on my first watch of Hi Ren. Thank you so much, with much love from one empath to another.
Happy to see that I am not the only one to cry with Ren's song! Hope to see more reaction with your friend ! great duo :)
Thank you for being so open 🌹
I love watching new people seeing and experiencing Ren for the first, great vid and reaction
Loved your conversation
It resonates with so much in my life
Also so honest and helpful
Thank you both and Ren of course
Nice job! I’m glad someone cried as much as I did! I have to strongly disagree w/ the next song exposure. Money Game & Chalk Outlines would ease her into REN’s musical ideas better & she’ll be more invested in the bard work afterwards. Cheers!
Best reaction I've ever seen without words during the song. Her face said it all. We've all been there.
You have a cool friend. Thanks Wendy for being so open.I heard you say beauty from ashes. Super chick fan? I never thought of it as a psalm.Thank you for being Rosalie's friend.I constantly intercede for her and her family. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May his countenance shine upon you both. In the name above all names Jesus.
Wow! That is a reaction! Props to you for putting yourself out there love and respect that! I know the intensity of feelings!
Such a joy to watch Wendi run the same gauntlet of emotions most of us felt watching this piece of art. Thank you so much for sharing.
Great reaction. loved it.
Wendi's willingness to show vulnerability and her deep empathy would make her a STAR reactor. Help her get a channel going ASAP!!
What a beautiful reaction from Wendi, I felt exactly like that myself! This is what helped me such a lot with coping with my Fibromyalgia and anxiety that went with it; my anxiety is so much better now, and the way that Fibromyalgia affects me has improved. I think that introducing her to this could be therapeutic for her, even though she seems to have overcome her own devils, there’s no harm in reinforcing your strengths you’ve learned.
Edit: Jenny and Screech would be a great follow up!
I've seen it over 100 times. I was crying with her.
Excellent, heartfelt reaction from Wendi! I hope you have her on for more Ren reactions! Your introduction to Hi Ren early last year was the first Ren song/reaction I ever shared with someone else--my sister, a therapist who uses music therapy as one of her modalities. I've sent her a few other Ren song links since then, but only learned a few weeks ago that she shares his music with one of her clients, a woman with Lyme disease. As for me, I struggled with depression, co-dependency issues, PTSD and ASD--and Ren has completely healed me! Just kidding, of course. (I probably shouldn't joke about psychological issues, but it does seem to take the sting out of them.😂 ) Joking aside, I have found Ren's music to be very therapeutic, especially the whole HOPE aspect of his songs and life story! I was touched by Wendi's story of hope as well. Thank you!
21:20 your friend is one of a handful of people I've seen (and I've watched a lot of reactions to this!) that talks about that open ended note without resolution. I love that aspect of it. He doesn't 'end' the song because life is just ongoing. The little speech after it just brings that home.
OMG!I am in t for a year orso watching all the reacts from Hi Ren.Wendy you putt tears in my eyes again!That s what Ren do to is!Thank you❤
So glad you let it play through entirely, without interruption and analysis, to watch her react in real-time, one take, to the song as it's meant to be heard. That was really powerful. She got it immediately. Thanks so much for doing this.
She is a spectacular guest. I love watching reactors reacting to their friends reacting to Ren. LOL. I'm a Ren reaction addict, and several of my favorite reactors do this. She has to see "The Tale of Jenny & Screech" (Full)
Wendi had a positive and captivating response to Ren's song. She mentions a film with Ben Affleck in it, and I think she might be talking about the fantastic movie Dogma (I've already watched it countless times), which also stars Matt Damon.
That's it!I knew someone would know it 💙.
Yep, and featuring Alanis Morrisette as God!
@@cjstato SPOILER ALERT!!!
@@shawnbenn lol how is that a spoiler? It's an actor in the cast list!
@@cjstato Those who haven't watched the movie are unaware of Alanis's role.
Ren will gain recognition for all the right things. He resonates with so many because he peels back the reality to expose the bad but at the same time gives hope! Sensational young man 😊
Three beautiful people on the same video. A rare find.
Your friend seems to have a beautiful heart. God bless
Excellent….more please
Damn girl! What an amazing reaction I agree with others…a 30 min reaction is usually not deserving but you guys nailed it. Your connection was golden and said guest nailed it! Great job and thank you so much. We have watched up to hundreds. At least me. And this was with the best of the best!
I waited in the dark for a light to shine... but this light, all along, was I
He has an emotive voice that translates into everything and everyone
This video has "outed" deep empaths across the globe. Welcome to the club, Wendi. Thanks, Rosalie, you're the best.
Awe she broke my heart. I've watched this many times. It still hits me. Especially when I see another person genuinely connect with it. ❤
Omg, I enjoyed this review so much. I don't think I've ever seen a reviewer just watch a video in its entirety and then review it. I didn't know I would enjoy it so much lol. Bring her back more!
