Few easter eggs for you. 1. Violet died in 2005. The first song (when Jenny died) was in 2019. They were twins and, in the song, Ren says that Screech was a 14yo boy. 2019 - 2005... the timeline of the song being posted, was in sync with the story. 2. Jenny was a 14yo girl, walking late in the night after probably "work", in high heel shoes, with heavy makeup ("roses on your cheeks"). What do you think she was working with? 3. Screech's best friend wasn't at home in the middle of the night, and his girlfriend was "busy". O.O 4. Ren posted a series of Instagram stories back then roleplaying as Screech. On those, he told more about Screech's backstory and how he was being abused by his foster father. 5. The environment that created an abused father who sexually abused her daughter and a mother who stayed quiet knowing this. This environment created Violet who also was quiet while being abused and a boyfriend who abused her. And since children, even after going into the foster system and being separated, since they were still influenced by that environment, made Screech being a violent delinquent and Jenny, a sex worker who stayed quiet and "frozen", not given Screech her purse and being killed because of it. That's transgenerational violence for you!
Exactly. Jenny was as much like her mother as James was his prick father. Another note, I heard in the UK they name orphan girls 'Jenny' and the boys they name 'James'. That right?
@@nEthing4Her I think just happened that Jenny and James were pretty popular names in the 80's and 90's. So, there are just a lot of children with these names in general. Especially James which is still a pretty popular basic name I'd say. Most of the children in care are from poor families, so I assume that basic popular names are more often present in children's homes. Also, I'd assume that if a baby is given for adoption and for any given reason, the biological parents did not have the chance to give them a name, the "system" would choose a quite basic name to avoid any possible problem for the child as they grow. Just assumptions to be honest.
Was just about to mention that...@@jamesbrooks7698 That would also explain why Stevie calls her a liar a lot. He hangs it over her head to control the relationship.
I don't know why but my favourite part is the moment of processing that happens at the end. When you fill in the gaps on how this could happen. I've subbed for more Ren because you have so much to watch and I love the thoughtful reaction. Welcome to the Renegades... we are a loyal, protective bunch but the community is great. Ren jokes we're a cult, he just did a festival and it looks like a bunch of fans showed up in hospital gowns, didn't help the denial. Something a bit more upbeat or different, Animal Flow, Murderer, Uninvited, Love Music, Power, Genesis... I could name so many.
Didn't realize REN started the cult thing but he is a smart man lol. Never thought I'd be in a cult but the first time I likened him to Jesus I knew I was in deep. 😂😂😂
@@workingit3055 I don't know if he started it but he was the first I heard reference it. I've seen several times he jokes about it. His fans are a bit more... invested.. than usual. Trauma bonding is a real thing. Truth is, I'd react to him like one of my kids. If he needed someone to drive 5 hours and pick him up in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night, I'd do it without question. Plus, the number of people with Ren tattoo's is increasing daily.
I just love your reactions! You just 'get' it! You wouldn't believe how many people don't understand these songs. The way your mind works and your honest and kind soul is such a blessing ❤ I'm not often one for regular comments, but the sheer time you take with each reaction, going back and pulling it apart is a marvel! I can't wait to watch your journey continue. And whether I comment in the future or not, just know I'll always be right here watching and loving every second!
thank you, Rain. Its a little nerve-racking to do music reactions with such a beloved artist, but the more I do, the more comfortable I'm getting with it!
😊 It’s not just like Father like son. It’s also like Mother like daughter. Jenny was quiet like her mother. They both stayed silent. Thank sir, another great reaction.
Ren doesn't miss the details. He is portraying a troubador/minstrel/bard & he starts with that "trumpet" sound which is actually a semi-occluded vocal warm-up technique. Then he gives a little cough to clear his throat & the minstrel is ready to begin his performance.
Insane is a perfect word. I've searched the English language and can't find one that fits him better. Great reaction, The first time I heard this, I dreamed about finding Stevie for a "chat" and would wake up pissed for 3 days. That's how much he can make a story come alive.
, no cuts or edits. Ren and his crew, all long time good friends, are masters of it. The story of the twins is loosely based on a real life event. It's such a shame was a news headline for the story. Great reaction once again, really enjoying the new content. 🐺❤️
@@DFQreactsI think he used the words "Nick nack paddy wack" because the next line of that nursery rhyme is "Give a dog a bone", just as he breaks her bones in the attack. I am in my 60's, I thought I had heard it all as far as music that I like was concerned but Ren has changed that for me, who would have thought I could love rap?
As a survivor, i can only really watch the trilogy through other people. People like you. Normally, i can get through it without crying because I'm enjoying the reaction. I cried hard today. Watching you react was magical. You were so drawn in, and you took me right along with you. I wrote a huge thing for the Hi Ren reaction, recommending a lot of Ren and Ren adjacent people. So I'll try and keep this a little shorter. 😊 (edit. Reading this back, i failed 😂) Fred Again Mashup. Beautiful showcase of Ren just being Ren. What Kind of Woman is This by The Big Push. All three of the boys get to shine. It's a Leadbelly cover. War Pigs by The Big Push. It's a busking session that is so much more than War Pigs. The Ren in red suspenders is the best version, imho. Losing It (FISHER Rap Version) You keep using the word insane for Ren's stuff. That applies here more than most. I won't spoiler it. But you might want to follow it up with The Hunger. And i can't leave without encouraging you to check out both of his duets with CHINCHILLA. Live versions. Trust me on that. Chinchilla kinda disappeared in the studio tracks. So, How to be Me & Chalk Outlines. Both deal with mental health to some degree. And then you'll head down the CHINCHILLA rabbit hole. That's it for me today. You're awesome and I'm going to check out your Dr.Who reactions. You'll be my first TV reactor. Lol. Have a great day! Really looking forward to more from the Reniverse.
Oh I feel honored to be your first TV show reaction and Doctor Who is my absolute FAVORITE thing on Earth, so enjoy my fangirling! haha Got those written down, and I must say I am sorry for what happened to you, but I'm happy you can find comfort in the poetry of Ren!
The one thing I always found crazy was when he flipped up her eyelids, it flips from blurry to clear, like focusing. It was a really cool touch, another moment like that was in Illest of Our Time, again with the eyes. I want to know if ya see it too, when you get to that song. Please continue down the rabbit hole
"Far from pretty." You are awesome, sir. I like that you've picked all the things I find so intriguing. (The composure with a deep intake when finished the phone call! Oh my! Incredible!) Thank you! 💙
Yeah Hunger, with the crazy flows, but Murderer is also great but my favourite funny song is LOSING IT. The fastest rap rap song ever. Ren is the GOAT, the king of bars and flow. BTW Ren love his home country. He has spent so many years in Canada for treatment of Lyme decice. He was home in Brighton last week having a small consert at the SGP (Secret garden party). He's still under treatment and probably will be for the rest of his life. 👍 🇳🇴
I’m sure you’ve heard by now but with the money game trilogy money game 2 is a lyric video not the live. Money game is a masterpiece and you’ll enjoy it. A shorter song of Ren that I think isn’t played enough is DOMINOES. I’m looking forward to taking the ren journey with you as your newest sub! Maybe a big suggestion would be to take a bit and watch the chapters 1-8 under the troubles playlist on renmakesmusic. He walks you through his life and will shed incredible insight for future ren reactions. Troubles the song summarizes the chapters and would make for a great follow up react. Keep up the great reviews! Welcome to the Renegades!
You saying "Screech's mom maybe" casually in passing; all of us going 😮. 😅 You'd be surprised at how many people are confused all thru all 3 stories. I live for people's faces at the end of Violets Tale now 😅. Oh, when he was looking confused, it's because that was Violet waking up in the hospital battered and bloody. Then he rewinds time to tell how she got there. Another great reaction 💜💜
Welcome to the Renaissance! 3 months into my journey down the Ren rabbit hole - should you choose to dive in you are going to have the most amazing roller coaster ride, and I’ve subscribed so I can watch your journey! Enjoy! From a 55 yr old guy proud to be a Renegade!
Damn, dude, great response to this. When I try to describe Ren to someone who doesn't know of him, I keep coming back to "it's more than just 'good music' - this is a work of Art". I saw a quote recently that went something along the lines of "if you walk out of a play thinking about the play - that was a good performance. If you walk out thinking about *your life* - **that** is Art." And Ren surely does make me think about Life, a lot :) Have fun goin down the rabbithole - us Renegades are happy to come along for the ride :)
His catalog is huge...all genres...rock, Raggae, blues, pop, hiphop, rap.....and he plays classical guitar and electric guitar and bass guitar and piano and drums and is a master storyteller, a Shakespearian Bard of our time! He makes his own beats, produces, writes his own lyrics, edits, mixes.......does it all
The “tales” are a masterpiece and a hard watch at times that needs to be on the curriculum of universities they are that important, I’ve done a playlist on my YT with my theories about all the main characters and how things fit together,
I just love how he draws you into each story feeling a little different with his guitar. He’s pure genius as well as Sam who doesn’t always get enough credit for his camera work and I love that you commented on that as well.
@@DFQreacts yes. Lol. It's a glimmer for me. Watching someone else experience the flood of emotions that I felt when I saw it for the first time. I used to get the same feeling watching friends see movies like The Usual Suspects for the first time.
Every time I hear 'Hi Ren' it affects me personally but gives me hope. Every time I hear Jenny and Screech it HURTS me and there is no silver lining. Damn you Ren! You got me again!
Nice onet!! 💜💜💜 Also: Jenny was, just like her brother, 14 years old, walking home in the middle of the night, in high heel shoes, with rosy cheeks aka make up, ... you get it?! Thanks for reacting and welcome to the RENegades. If you want more of THIS kind of ART from Ren AND you like getting chills all over your body then you should check out "Ren X Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines (live)" and "Ren X Chinchilla - How To Be Me (Live)" As always we're very sorry but there's no way to prepare yourself for everything that's going to come your way down the Ren Rabbit Hole. If you want to hear something totally different then check out "Ren - Power (Official Music Video)" or anything else besides Money Game 1-3 which is probably recommended a lot and will blow your mind too.
And Ren has confirmed that Screech's friend Patrick isn't home, and Screech's girlfriend is 'busy' because the 2 of them are together. A dark byzantine tale.
Thanks, ella! Ya I guess i didn't realize the age or the profession of Jenny...and her brother mirroring her journey on the other side is just a tragedy. But thank you, I've got those written down and will get to them as soon as I can!
@@DFQreacts Ren did an INSANE promo for J&S where he faked Screech stealing the real Ren's phone and filming himself being abusive and committing crimes with it. People believed it was true and unsubscribed to Ren and YT nearly cancelled his account because they too believed it was real, so Ren fessed up, and people STILL didn't believe it was fake. He's posted all those videos on his channel. Can't think of another artist that would commit to a stunt like that so completely... except, of course, Ren.
You need to react to Ren's 1 Million Subscribers Thank You video. Bring us with you!! 😊 BTW, Jenny was a streetwalker! Ren is the 21st Century Shakespear!!!
The most amazing thing about this is that the three parts were NOT written together, but with long gaps inbetween! Like many answers to your questions you need to understand how ill Ren was from 19 thru 29. He couldn't do many of the things he wanted to.
Ren did grow up with parents that were heavily into music, singing and playing instruments. They spent summers at performance camps, I'm sure that made him develop his talent for performing from an early age. Great reaction, loved the analysis at the end!
If you go to Ren’s channel or search you can find a video where he and two others act out the interaction screech, Patrick and the girl had earlier in the night of the murder of Jenny and death of screech. So apparently when everyone had went home or went separate ways screech ran into Jenny and this is what happened. It’s pretty cool to watch and gives more insight to who screech was.
The Tales is a full-length movie or novel performed in 13 minutes. It has the same impact as a great, thought-provoking movie. Teachers of English, creative writing or filmmaking could present The Tales to their students as an example of telling a compelling story without wasting a single word. Great reaction, and subbed!
This was a fantastic reaction... so glad you read my comment and replied and also that you incorporated my feedback :) Glad you are pausing during the song to make immediate remarks and reactions and that then you go back and do the deep dive! LOVE IT!!! Regarding this one, you caught so many things that most people I've seen reacting don't get... it's not easy because there's an ocean of information given with the 3 songs, but you got most of it :) Still, I like to point out some "crucial" things in these songs, like I said, you caught most of them, but I'm going to list some of the most impressive things: Ren is indeed a genius, a fantastic performer, singer, actor, songwriter, composer, etc, etc he can do it all... - the way he uses his words and sets the scene for example when he could've simply say that Screech stabbed Jenny, he does it in a much more poetic way (and continues to do it in other instances in the songs, like when the Police is coming for Screech "the shrill cry of justice like a Banshee in the night"), just the same when Jenny froze he says it in a fantastic manner that sets a scene in your head... The way he used the Guitar to knock on the door in Screech's tale, the frantic camera going around him while he stood still to show the state of mind Screech was in, how he used the phone in the middle of the song with pauses and all to wait for the call to connect... how he said the police was coming instead of just saying "the police are coming" is truly amazing, and how he said that Screech was going against the police without saying just the obvious words... how he alternates between characters and narrator, both in voice and acting (see how at the end of the call to the girlfriend he's panting, gasping for air as Screech and in the next second he's completely composed when he becomes the Narrator again, he even gets his posture to be more upright)... how he uses the guitar to fire the shots and the cameraman getting shot and falling to the floor... an amazing storyteller. - The way he tells that history repeats itself on Violet's tale, from being abused by her father to the cycle repeating with her boyfriend that ends up killing her... the way he knocks on the door and then shows how he picks her eyelids and opens them and he's right there face first on the camera, out of focus... how he again uses the guitar to simbolize the sounds of violence when Stevie hits Violet, like a crashing pilot! - The way he rewinds time at the start of Violet's Tale when he says "We must rewind time for Violet's Tale" and then he makes the rewind time sound with the guitar and then starts Violet's story... then after Violet gets beaten up he uses the guitar again, this time to un-rewind time (back to 2005 in London City) and gets us back to the start of the song when you heard the sounds of the hospital machines, now we know why those sounds were there and how everything happened... it's pure genius!!! - Also, it's inevitable to draw parallels between Jenny and Violet and Screech and Stevie (his father) and the grandfather... despite not knowing any of their relatives, Jenny was just like her mother, Violet was silent, didn't fight back when she was abused and ended up being killed... Jenny when confronted by Screech completely froze, like a statue, wasn't able to move, to say anything, to defend herself, just like her mother... Screech was violent and troubled and ended up a murderer just like his father... All very tragic!! - To tie it all up, the Tales from Jenny and Screech were recorded in 2019 and Violet's Tale is, because of that set in 2005 (two zero zero five), 14 years before because in Jenny's tale we are told that Screech was 14 years old! Cheers
Thank you, Paulo! ya this (and I'm guessing every single one of) Ren's songs are made so you catch new things every time you listen. Parts of the story will start to click on subsequent listens, thats the type of music I love, so its almost like you're hearing a new song every time! Thank you for your run downs! I do read it all, there's just so many more comments than I'm used to! lol
Awesome reaction to Ren's tragic trilogy. I love how you first watch the whole video...and then, come back and break it down and give your thoughts. I think it makes it easier for you as well as the viewer. Glad you're enjoying discovering Ren's many talents. ❤
I loved your reaction!! This song is heavy and it hits us all. I would recommend Chalk Outlines and How To Be Me, they're duets with Chinchilla (an amazing singer you should check out on her own too). I've been obsessed with Ocean by Ren and Eden, I feel like it doesn't get enough recognition. Keep on going down the rabbit hole of Ren's music.
Ren is a modern day bard painting such vivid imagery with his storytelling that it pulls you in and forces you to keep watching - even when it gets physically uncomfortable during Violet’s Tale. And Ren uses this ability to shed light on far too real issues in the world. Ren is special.
Great reaction. I have been listening to music for 5 decades and Ren is the most original and captivating artist I have had the pleasure to experience in all that time!
You my friend are going into my 'Fave Ren Reactions' playlist! (Yes, i have such a playlist🙈...Don't judge me 😅). Fabulous reaction to this amazing Oscar and Grammy worthy piece of art! Can't wait for you to do more 😊.
Hey man, found your channel today and it's great! About pausing and speaking over, do remember that are your reaction and toughts that we came here to see, once most people that chose to click on thi video already watched the original. And for those who didn't, the fact that you put all the song/video info on screen should help a lot. Oh, and you may want to put Ren X Chinchila - Chalk Outlines (live) on the reaction queue. EDIT: Grammar and recommendation
Great reaction Dusty🔥I have subbed for your Ren journey you will not be disappointed!! Nice to see my fellow Renegades are helping w/the journey... we are an awesome group of humans who do support each other. The trilogy is a hard dark story. looking forward to your next reactions. All the songs are diverse you never know what you are gonna get. Greeting from Canada🍁🖤🍁
Something in your reaction got me thinking: both Jenny and Screech had walked these streets thousands of times before, and neither one seemed to have a way out of their situation. I wonder how many times they’d walked past each other and narrowly avoided such an outcome. Gives a sense of inevitability to their final interaction. Freezing and fighting in the face of danger is a bad combo. If it hadn’t happened on this occasion, what would have changed to prevent it from happening on some future night? And yet, they were both looking for safety and could have supported each other. Such a shame indeed.
No one is ready for these songs I couldn't get through it for a while Several watches of them helps gather all the parts together I found You did very well with this reaction to this tragedy
Nobody is ever ready for this song. It still brings me to tears. And that's ok. Art is supposed to make us feel. It's a shame that we arent more accustomed to experiencing art that can bring such profound feelings. And you will get a lot of that with Ren.
Tragically sad and beautiful. As you said, "I don't like that, I mean I love that." Ren has frequently left me with similar feelings, trying to reconcile my cognitive dissonance of 'wtf' and 'amazing.' To help summarize Ren (if possible), I like what Sinéad wrote about him: "Every song and or artist in history even Willie Dixon, Chuck Berry, The Beatles, NWA, Ice Cube, and even Bob Dylan, is officially relegated to class B. As are every actor in history or legend: living or dead, male or female. We all are now defunct." - Sinéad O'Connor
Jennys tale was prompted by a newspaper story and people saying its such a shame then a few months later came Screeches tale then it was nearly 2 years later he released Violets tale tying it all together. Masterpiece.
Great reaction... you earned a sub from me... thanku 💚 welcome to the Ren rabbit hole... prepare yourself as your journey has only just begun... and it is going to be the most amazing journey as you discover the very special world that is Ren. Delighted to be able to share your journey 💚 its great fun, like discovering Ren again through your eyes. Ren is an absolute genius and his talents are endless. 💚 (also... everything Ren does is on purpose... )
Love this reaction, you are the first (out of countless reactions I have seen) who takes the time to step back and disect this piece of art. You gained a RENegate subscriber 😊 Will look through your other videos too.
Let's see if Ren won't surprise us with a new story... I love music and being a recovering addict, Ren has helped me so much... and you reactors I love seeing your reaction to Ren's art, you are also part of my recovery... I love you...continues to respond to Ren and has a new sub... PS-I'm from Portugal, I don't speak Portuguese, I had to use Google Translate, sorry for any mistakes. love from PORTUGAL
bem, farei o mesmo e espero que traduza bem! haha Posso ver como a música do Ren pode ajudar no processo de cura. Envio todo o meu amor a você em Portugal para que continue se recuperando! Obrigado por assistir! (just in case that translation was awful:) well I'll do the same and hope it translates well! lol I can see how Ren's music can help the healing process. I'm sending all my love to you in Portugal for your continued recovery! Thanks for watching!
Haha.. I don't think anyone is ready or expecting that end. Another great reaction! I look forward to seeing your other reactions to Ren's videos and music. 😊
Wow. You don't miss much. You caught way a lot of things than all the reactors I've watched. You're the only one who guessed that Violet was Screech's mom in the beginning of the story. And so much more. I truly enjoy hearing you go over the verses. Who knows, I might learn something new from your perspective.
Jenny and James are names that are often given to babies that are orphaned nameless, in the UK. Jenny was walking the streets late at night, going back from work, in high heeled shoes. Streets she knew well, having walked a thousand times before. James never recognised that she was as young as him (14)... probably because she was made up to look older (the rosy on her cheeks).. Jenny was a prostitute, at 14. Both kids were put in the system and ended up in broken foster homes, and bad situations. There are some instagram posts where Screech "steals Ren's phone" and that's how he knows about the story... it is hinted that Patrick and Screech's girlfriend, who appear in the posts, are together when Screech is looking for a safe haven. The story takes inspiration from a news piece that Ren read about a young kid mugging and killing a prostitute and ending up killed by cops himself. Ren made up the blood relation in the third song, which he wrote a few years after the first ones. I liken this to Tarantino's Pulp fiction. the social environments, the violence, the language, the gritty description.. and the scrambled timeline with the surprise ending.. it's just as masterful as Tarantino could have ever written it (and we know that Ren's a fan of the director). I don't believe that Violet's father was the one who got her pregnant... for the simple reason that she was helped by social services to get her own place at 16 and be emancipated... I find it more likely that if she had been pregnant at that time, social services would not have just dropped her like that, but would have been involved in the pregnancy (and maybe even moved to terminate it?).. I doubt she would have been completely unsupervised, to the point that she had the time to also, in 9 months, enter a relationship made of systemic violence and abuse. also, she talks about her baby, singular.. she didn't know there were 2, another sign that social services most likely weren't around anymore, because she would have gotten an ultrasound or two if they had been. My guess is that by the time she gets pregnant (off of Stevie), she was at least of legal age, so this would be at least 2 years later, ruling out her father. as a matter of fact, she might well be in her late twenties, by the time she meets her end, because, as you say, we don't know the timeline. some people counter with the fact that Stevie called her a liar, hinting that he knew he was not the father.. I think he just called her a liar in the moment, because she was pretending to sleep to escape another beating... or simply because, true or not, it gave him a pretext to give her one... and that's all an abuser needs.
well that puts me more at ease about the pregnancy. But I liked that remark about Tarantino as he's one of my favorite Directors as well! Ya i took it as she was trying to pretend to be asleep and he wouldnt have that...god such a terrible tale, but one told so beautifully!
I remember watching the Tales for the first time and i wanted to crawl out of my own skin. As a fellow Violet I felt it in every fiber of my body and soul. I was shook and thankful at the same time. Shook because he managed to portray the situation in such an intense and raw way, thankful because he shines a light on the ugliness that is abuse. Subbed for more Ren and your journey down the rabbit hole 🖤
Great work - this, Hi Ren and Money Game are great music but are just one aspect of REN’s music so if you like rap, hip hop, reggae, rock, ballads he does it all. Something for everyone. Enjoy 🫶
welcome RENegade! this was by far the best breakdown I have seen of this trilogy. Ren is an experience. his ability to invoke and evoke the emotions. creating them and and willing your to come out for the experience is unmatched. this trilogy is an amazing tool too. it is , when age appropriate, a way to teach your kids the warning signs, what to look out for so they don't have to live it to learn it. Ren is definitely masterclass. the kings bard for sure. if you need a break from some of the emotionally intense songs there are two that are so beautiful.... i can't help falling in love with you (Elvis cover) read the comment section on that one, those are some of the most heartfelt comments I have ever seen. the other is from his band the big push and it is called precious. one more by the big push, dignity. when it comes down to it, take the swan dive, dive deep into the rabbit hole. every song is worth it. Ren is incapable of making a bad song. his musical magic come from every cell, his soul, and every emotion. he is truly a beautiful and exceptional human being. it is an honor to be along for the ride and witness a legend on his rise. enjoy the rabbit hole! 🌸❤️🎶🙏🎶❤️🌸
@@DFQreacts I know you will enjoy it! that is a difficult one to cover, but read the comments....some break your heart, and others tell of love that never forgotten.... the age ranges on that one are astounding too! have an excellent weekend! 🌸❤️🎶🙏🎶❤️🌸
One of the better, more considered post reaction analysis. Ren can also be fun, when you need some joy and laughter try "What You Want", "Uninvited", "Love Music parts 1-4" (each part is a stand alone song) and any of The Big Push's street performances. Liked and subscribed. Thank you.
LUV your reaction I’ve watched so many reactors and they don’t break it down as well as you just did so thank you so much for taking the time to do that. You have a new subscriber.
thank you for saying that because thats the part that terrifies me in these reactions haha am i getting what he's saying, am I saying it right, am i making sense!? lol so I appreciate it!
@@DFQreacts there’s no right or wrong really, just some people get different things out of it and I do appreciate getting to see so many perspectives, I respect each one of them but, it does hit a little more special when you find someone that has the same ideas and understanding. That’s why it’s so important to get YOUR voice out there because there’s millions of us and we’re not all going to agree so, if you don’t, then wish them well and move on my friend!!! God bless and I wish you the best success 😊🇺🇸🙏🏻
This is Ren's Bardcore music. He's a master story teller and embodies his characters so well. Samuel's filming techniques were a perfect match to Ren's story telling sense.
You are a natural reactor. Once again Fabulous job! After watching this for the first time, I needed to know the person who created this. I would recommend you watch his one million subscribers video. It really gives you insight into who he is as a person.
Watching the emotions flash across your face during Violet’s Tale is beautiful, micro expressions become full blown astonishment! Fantastic reaction new Brother Renegade! The Rabbit Hole runs deep and the Renegades will always guide you through. We are a loyal and slightly rabid group 😂.
Bravo!!! I've seen hundreds of reactions to these songs, and yours are right up there with the best. You just GET IT. Thank you!!! Can't wait for you to do more Ren! I subbed and aside from the MONEY GAMES trilogy, I will be waiting for you to also do CHALK OUTLINES (LIVE), HOW TO BE ME (LIVE), CRUTCH, GENESIS, SU*C!DE, THE HUNGER, ILLEST OF OUR TIME, SICK BOI... On and on and on!
Really fine reaction!! I'm sure they've told you, but just this week I've seen 2 reactors do the "wrong" version of MONEY GAME PT. 2 and both had to go back to react to the "right" version. The fans will want you to react to MONEY GAME PT. 2 (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO). The LIVE version is only 1/3 of the whole song with no music.
You had such a visible visceral reaction to hearing what poor Violet suffered at the hands of the bastard & later with the prick. I felt the same fury I saw in you. I really appreciate your reactions🖤
One thing i haven't seen anyone pick up on. The beginning when jenny is walking down the street qnd is feeling scared for qn unknown reason, saying maybe intuition or something. It was the mysterious connection we hear qbout with twins. She was seconds from meeting her twin brother for possibly the first time ever🤯🤯🤯
You have great energy. Is that a cat tree in the back? Please share your cat with us😊 #RENegades. Subbed. Pausing is fine. We’d rather you pause and go back a few seconds than talk over him as Ren doesn’t waste words. Thank you for sharing his artistry. He has changed a lot of lives.
A really really great breakdown and reaction. I’ve seen probably a hundred reactions of this video by now but yours is one of the best. Great job. Liked and subscribed.
I love one of his first pieces of art: "Crutch", also "Su!cide" for me are to of my favourites. Great reaction! You have got a New subscriber. I like how you make to lisens, one living more fully the experience and another commenting ❤ Saludos from Spain 😊
Thanks, Kaef! Greetings from Michigan...that doesn't sound as cool as Spain lol but thank you! I actually didn't have those songs on my list so I added them!
Few easter eggs for you.
1. Violet died in 2005. The first song (when Jenny died) was in 2019. They were twins and, in the song, Ren says that Screech was a 14yo boy. 2019 - 2005... the timeline of the song being posted, was in sync with the story.
2. Jenny was a 14yo girl, walking late in the night after probably "work", in high heel shoes, with heavy makeup ("roses on your cheeks"). What do you think she was working with?
3. Screech's best friend wasn't at home in the middle of the night, and his girlfriend was "busy". O.O
4. Ren posted a series of Instagram stories back then roleplaying as Screech. On those, he told more about Screech's backstory and how he was being abused by his foster father.
5. The environment that created an abused father who sexually abused her daughter and a mother who stayed quiet knowing this. This environment created Violet who also was quiet while being abused and a boyfriend who abused her. And since children, even after going into the foster system and being separated, since they were still influenced by that environment, made Screech being a violent delinquent and Jenny, a sex worker who stayed quiet and "frozen", not given Screech her purse and being killed because of it. That's transgenerational violence for you!
Exactly. Jenny was as much like her mother as James was his prick father. Another note, I heard in the UK they name orphan girls 'Jenny' and the boys they name 'James'. That right?
@@nEthing4Her I think just happened that Jenny and James were pretty popular names in the 80's and 90's. So, there are just a lot of children with these names in general. Especially James which is still a pretty popular basic name I'd say. Most of the children in care are from poor families, so I assume that basic popular names are more often present in children's homes. Also, I'd assume that if a baby is given for adoption and for any given reason, the biological parents did not have the chance to give them a name, the "system" would choose a quite basic name to avoid any possible problem for the child as they grow. Just assumptions to be honest.
@@IKronosI Ah, thx 🙂
You missed the darkest one.
Barring exceptional circumstances, a 16 year old in England is really not likely to get given a council flat.
Was just about to mention that...@@jamesbrooks7698
That would also explain why Stevie calls her a liar a lot.
He hangs it over her head to control the relationship.
I don't know why but my favourite part is the moment of processing that happens at the end. When you fill in the gaps on how this could happen. I've subbed for more Ren because you have so much to watch and I love the thoughtful reaction. Welcome to the Renegades... we are a loyal, protective bunch but the community is great. Ren jokes we're a cult, he just did a festival and it looks like a bunch of fans showed up in hospital gowns, didn't help the denial. Something a bit more upbeat or different, Animal Flow, Murderer, Uninvited, Love Music, Power, Genesis... I could name so many.
Didn't realize REN started the cult thing but he is a smart man lol. Never thought I'd be in a cult but the first time I likened him to Jesus I knew I was in deep. 😂😂😂
@@workingit3055 I don't know if he started it but he was the first I heard reference it. I've seen several times he jokes about it. His fans are a bit more... invested.. than usual. Trauma bonding is a real thing. Truth is, I'd react to him like one of my kids. If he needed someone to drive 5 hours and pick him up in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night, I'd do it without question. Plus, the number of people with Ren tattoo's is increasing daily.
I can definitely tell, but it doesnt seem toxic, it seems very loving and supportive!
@@workingit3055 I don't know how long ago it was, Ren wears a Cult Leader shirt. too funny
I just love your reactions! You just 'get' it! You wouldn't believe how many people don't understand these songs. The way your mind works and your honest and kind soul is such a blessing ❤
I'm not often one for regular comments, but the sheer time you take with each reaction, going back and pulling it apart is a marvel! I can't wait to watch your journey continue. And whether I comment in the future or not, just know I'll always be right here watching and loving every second!
thank you, Rain. Its a little nerve-racking to do music reactions with such a beloved artist, but the more I do, the more comfortable I'm getting with it!
Couldn't say it any better!
Now something happy.
Love Music parts 1 - 4.
it won't be the next one, but I wrote it down! Thanks!
😊 It’s not just like Father like son. It’s also like Mother like daughter. Jenny was quiet like her mother. They both stayed silent. Thank sir, another great reaction.
It goes back one generation further... violet's dad was violent.. her mother was silent about what was happening
Thanks, Lucy! You're absolutely right. Its a generational trauma that probably goes back further than anybody can know.
exactly, and how much further back does that trauma go? its such a sha-a-a-a-a-ame
Ren doesn't miss the details. He is portraying a troubador/minstrel/bard & he starts with that "trumpet" sound which is actually a semi-occluded vocal warm-up technique. Then he gives a little cough to clear his throat & the minstrel is ready to begin his performance.
Insane is a perfect word. I've searched the English language and can't find one that fits him better. Great reaction, The first time I heard this, I dreamed about finding Stevie for a "chat" and would wake up pissed for 3 days. That's how much he can make a story come alive.
I’d ’chat’ with intent.
@spruce381 Oh, you and me both. Intent is all I would have.
he's can just put you front row in the story he's telling and really make you feel it!
Just FYI, The Money Games can be done separately. So far, the Tales is the only series where it’s important to do them together and in order.
I think I'll do them all together, though! for you all (and for me lol)
@@DFQreacts It's better to do them all in a go... to tie them together :)
For Money Game II, find the lyric video though. There is another version, but it's not the whole song :)
, no cuts or edits. Ren and his crew, all long time good friends, are masters of it. The story of the twins is loosely based on a real life event. It's such a shame was a news headline for the story.
Great reaction once again, really enjoying the new content. 🐺❤️
Thanks, Stuart! His music video's are so methodical like his choice of lyrics!
@@DFQreactsI think he used the words "Nick nack paddy wack" because the next line of that nursery rhyme is "Give a dog a bone", just as he breaks her bones in the attack. I am in my 60's, I thought I had heard it all as far as music that I like was concerned but Ren has changed that for me, who would have thought I could love rap?
As a survivor, i can only really watch the trilogy through other people. People like you. Normally, i can get through it without crying because I'm enjoying the reaction. I cried hard today. Watching you react was magical. You were so drawn in, and you took me right along with you.
I wrote a huge thing for the Hi Ren reaction, recommending a lot of Ren and Ren adjacent people. So I'll try and keep this a little shorter. 😊 (edit. Reading this back, i failed 😂)
Fred Again Mashup. Beautiful showcase of Ren just being Ren.
What Kind of Woman is This by The Big Push. All three of the boys get to shine. It's a Leadbelly cover.
War Pigs by The Big Push. It's a busking session that is so much more than War Pigs. The Ren in red suspenders is the best version, imho.
Losing It (FISHER Rap Version) You keep using the word insane for Ren's stuff. That applies here more than most. I won't spoiler it. But you might want to follow it up with The Hunger.
And i can't leave without encouraging you to check out both of his duets with CHINCHILLA. Live versions. Trust me on that. Chinchilla kinda disappeared in the studio tracks. So, How to be Me & Chalk Outlines. Both deal with mental health to some degree. And then you'll head down the CHINCHILLA rabbit hole.
That's it for me today. You're awesome and I'm going to check out your Dr.Who reactions. You'll be my first TV reactor. Lol.
Have a great day! Really looking forward to more from the Reniverse.
Thank you so much for the recs! And yes Chalk Lines is amazing!
@@thekawaiislartibartfast42 I'm always happy to recommend Reniverse music. Please feel free to let me know if you need more. Lol.
Oh I feel honored to be your first TV show reaction and Doctor Who is my absolute FAVORITE thing on Earth, so enjoy my fangirling! haha Got those written down, and I must say I am sorry for what happened to you, but I'm happy you can find comfort in the poetry of Ren!
The one thing I always found crazy was when he flipped up her eyelids, it flips from blurry to clear, like focusing. It was a really cool touch, another moment like that was in Illest of Our Time, again with the eyes. I want to know if ya see it too, when you get to that song. Please continue down the rabbit hole
it was also so unsettling and expertly used!
"Far from pretty."
You are awesome, sir. I like that you've picked all the things I find so intriguing. (The composure with a deep intake when finished the phone call! Oh my! Incredible!) Thank you! 💙
Do The Hunger or Losing It next for some levity. Edit: And baaaars! 🌻❤️
...interesting that you'd say: The Hunger.
@@DFQreacts the beat is chaotic fire.
Yeah Hunger, with the crazy flows, but Murderer is also great but my favourite funny song is LOSING IT. The fastest rap rap song ever. Ren is the GOAT, the king of bars and flow. BTW Ren love his home country. He has spent so many years in Canada for treatment of Lyme decice. He was home in Brighton last week having a small consert at the SGP (Secret garden party). He's still under treatment and probably will be for the rest of his life. 👍 🇳🇴
Losing it is where I go for a fun “lighter” song but you’ll soon find out that whichever song you land on is great.
Genesis is so good! I feel it’s so underrated!!!
I like how you picked out the intentional imperfections, he always does it, it keeps people on their toes.
I’m sure you’ve heard by now but with the money game trilogy money game 2 is a lyric video not the live. Money game is a masterpiece and you’ll enjoy it. A shorter song of Ren that I think isn’t played enough is DOMINOES. I’m looking forward to taking the ren journey with you as your newest sub! Maybe a big suggestion would be to take a bit and watch the chapters 1-8 under the troubles playlist on renmakesmusic. He walks you through his life and will shed incredible insight for future ren reactions. Troubles the song summarizes the chapters and would make for a great follow up react. Keep up the great reviews! Welcome to the Renegades!
You saying "Screech's mom maybe" casually in passing; all of us going 😮. 😅 You'd be surprised at how many people are confused all thru all 3 stories. I live for people's faces at the end of Violets Tale now 😅. Oh, when he was looking confused, it's because that was Violet waking up in the hospital battered and bloody. Then he rewinds time to tell how she got there. Another great reaction 💜💜
ya I could see how that would be messed up, but I couldn't see the bigger, more heartbreaking picture.
Welcome to the Renaissance! 3 months into my journey down the Ren rabbit hole - should you choose to dive in you are going to have the most amazing roller coaster ride, and I’ve subscribed so I can watch your journey! Enjoy! From a 55 yr old guy proud to be a Renegade!
Damn, dude, great response to this. When I try to describe Ren to someone who doesn't know of him, I keep coming back to "it's more than just 'good music' - this is a work of Art". I saw a quote recently that went something along the lines of "if you walk out of a play thinking about the play - that was a good performance. If you walk out thinking about *your life* - **that** is Art." And Ren surely does make me think about Life, a lot :)
Have fun goin down the rabbithole - us Renegades are happy to come along for the ride :)
@@srslyboomer that is a fantastic quote. Thanks for sharing.
His catalog is huge...all genres...rock, Raggae, blues, pop, hiphop, rap.....and he plays classical guitar and electric guitar and bass guitar and piano and drums and is a master storyteller, a Shakespearian Bard of our time! He makes his own beats, produces, writes his own lyrics, edits, mixes.......does it all
The “tales” are a masterpiece and a hard watch at times that needs to be on the curriculum of universities they are that important, I’ve done a playlist on my YT with my theories about all the main characters and how things fit together,
certainly a masterclass of lyricism and storytelling!
I just love how he draws you into each story feeling a little different with his guitar. He’s pure genius as well as Sam who doesn’t always get enough credit for his camera work and I love that you commented on that as well.
Love your attention to detail! ❤ Many people do not get it at the end. You almost had it at the beginn8ng. Very smart!👍
Thanks, Oit! I was just thinking what would be the saddest thing...not knowing Ren had something even more tragic to tell us lol
You’re in for many further treats as you work your way through his catalogue. Keep up the good work.
thanks, BK!
It hit us all like that every time.
That's why Ren fans seek out reactions, huh? To feel that 'umpf' one more time! lol
@@DFQreacts that. And we're trying to push that algorithm like crazy... 🙃
@@DFQreacts yes. Lol. It's a glimmer for me. Watching someone else experience the flood of emotions that I felt when I saw it for the first time. I used to get the same feeling watching friends see movies like The Usual Suspects for the first time.
Every time I hear 'Hi Ren' it affects me personally but gives me hope. Every time I hear Jenny and Screech it HURTS me and there is no silver lining. Damn you Ren! You got me again!
Nice onet!! 💜💜💜
Also: Jenny was, just like her brother, 14 years old, walking home in the middle of the night, in high heel shoes, with rosy cheeks aka make up, ... you get it?! Thanks for reacting and welcome to the RENegades. If you want more of THIS kind of ART from Ren AND you like getting chills all over your body then you should check out "Ren X Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines (live)" and "Ren X Chinchilla - How To Be Me (Live)"
As always we're very sorry but there's no way to prepare yourself for everything that's going to come your way down the Ren Rabbit Hole.
If you want to hear something totally different then check out "Ren - Power (Official Music Video)" or anything else besides Money Game 1-3 which is probably recommended a lot and will blow your mind too.
And Ren has confirmed that Screech's friend Patrick isn't home, and Screech's girlfriend is 'busy' because the 2 of them are together. A dark byzantine tale.
Thanks, ella! Ya I guess i didn't realize the age or the profession of Jenny...and her brother mirroring her journey on the other side is just a tragedy. But thank you, I've got those written down and will get to them as soon as I can!
so that was confirmed, I just saw another commenter say this, but he wasn't sure...damn.
@@DFQreacts Ren did an INSANE promo for J&S where he faked Screech stealing the real Ren's phone and filming himself being abusive and committing crimes with it. People believed it was true and unsubscribed to Ren and YT nearly cancelled his account because they too believed it was real, so Ren fessed up, and people STILL didn't believe it was fake. He's posted all those videos on his channel. Can't think of another artist that would commit to a stunt like that so completely... except, of course, Ren.
@@DFQreacts Don't worry, I didn't get it until my (at least) 10th time watching it XD
You need to react to Ren's 1 Million Subscribers Thank You video. Bring us with you!! 😊
BTW, Jenny was a streetwalker!
Ren is the 21st Century Shakespear!!!
The most amazing thing about this is that the three parts were NOT written together, but with long gaps inbetween! Like many answers to your questions you need to understand how ill Ren was from 19 thru 29. He couldn't do many of the things he wanted to.
oh for real? I figured the videos weren't shot together, but was sure the songs were for how perfectly they fit together! Amazing!
You wait until you see him really singing. You will be blown away.
cant wait!
Ren did grow up with parents that were heavily into music, singing and playing instruments. They spent summers at performance camps, I'm sure that made him develop his talent for performing from an early age. Great reaction, loved the analysis at the end!
If you go to Ren’s channel or search you can find a video where he and two others act out the interaction screech, Patrick and the girl had earlier in the night of the murder of Jenny and death of screech. So apparently when everyone had went home or went separate ways screech ran into Jenny and this is what happened. It’s pretty cool to watch and gives more insight to who screech was.
"Astonishing"! A great word that should be used more often!..
Great detailed reaction! Heard some new things that other reviewers didn't mention. Starting to follow you🙌
the music at the start of Violet's tale is so beautiful and haunting, we all should have known it was going to be very dark
The Tales is a full-length movie or novel performed in 13 minutes. It has the same impact as a great, thought-provoking movie. Teachers of English, creative writing or filmmaking could present The Tales to their students as an example of telling a compelling story without wasting a single word. Great reaction, and subbed!
This was a fantastic reaction... so glad you read my comment and replied and also that you incorporated my feedback :) Glad you are pausing during the song to make immediate remarks and reactions and that then you go back and do the deep dive! LOVE IT!!!
Regarding this one, you caught so many things that most people I've seen reacting don't get... it's not easy because there's an ocean of information given with the 3 songs, but you got most of it :)
Still, I like to point out some "crucial" things in these songs, like I said, you caught most of them, but I'm going to list some of the most impressive things:
Ren is indeed a genius, a fantastic performer, singer, actor, songwriter, composer, etc, etc he can do it all...
- the way he uses his words and sets the scene for example when he could've simply say that Screech stabbed Jenny, he does it in a much more poetic way (and continues to do it in other instances in the songs, like when the Police is coming for Screech "the shrill cry of justice like a Banshee in the night"), just the same when Jenny froze he says it in a fantastic manner that sets a scene in your head...
The way he used the Guitar to knock on the door in Screech's tale, the frantic camera going around him while he stood still to show the state of mind Screech was in, how he used the phone in the middle of the song with pauses and all to wait for the call to connect... how he said the police was coming instead of just saying "the police are coming" is truly amazing, and how he said that Screech was going against the police without saying just the obvious words... how he alternates between characters and narrator, both in voice and acting (see how at the end of the call to the girlfriend he's panting, gasping for air as Screech and in the next second he's completely composed when he becomes the Narrator again, he even gets his posture to be more upright)... how he uses the guitar to fire the shots and the cameraman getting shot and falling to the floor... an amazing storyteller.
- The way he tells that history repeats itself on Violet's tale, from being abused by her father to the cycle repeating with her boyfriend that ends up killing her... the way he knocks on the door and then shows how he picks her eyelids and opens them and he's right there face first on the camera, out of focus... how he again uses the guitar to simbolize the sounds of violence when Stevie hits Violet, like a crashing pilot!
- The way he rewinds time at the start of Violet's Tale when he says "We must rewind time for Violet's Tale" and then he makes the rewind time sound with the guitar and then starts Violet's story... then after Violet gets beaten up he uses the guitar again, this time to un-rewind time (back to 2005 in London City) and gets us back to the start of the song when you heard the sounds of the hospital machines, now we know why those sounds were there and how everything happened... it's pure genius!!!
- Also, it's inevitable to draw parallels between Jenny and Violet and Screech and Stevie (his father) and the grandfather... despite not knowing any of their relatives, Jenny was just like her mother, Violet was silent, didn't fight back when she was abused and ended up being killed... Jenny when confronted by Screech completely froze, like a statue, wasn't able to move, to say anything, to defend herself, just like her mother...
Screech was violent and troubled and ended up a murderer just like his father...
All very tragic!!
- To tie it all up, the Tales from Jenny and Screech were recorded in 2019 and Violet's Tale is, because of that set in 2005 (two zero zero five), 14 years before because in Jenny's tale we are told that Screech was 14 years old!
Cheers
Thank you, Paulo! ya this (and I'm guessing every single one of) Ren's songs are made so you catch new things every time you listen. Parts of the story will start to click on subsequent listens, thats the type of music I love, so its almost like you're hearing a new song every time! Thank you for your run downs! I do read it all, there's just so many more comments than I'm used to! lol
Amazing reaction. Thank you for your breakdown of these tragic tales. Subscribed 🙂
Awesome reaction to Ren's tragic trilogy. I love how you first watch the whole video...and then, come back and break it down and give your thoughts. I think it makes it easier for you as well as the viewer. Glad you're enjoying discovering Ren's many talents. ❤
I loved your reaction!! This song is heavy and it hits us all. I would recommend Chalk Outlines and How To Be Me, they're duets with Chinchilla (an amazing singer you should check out on her own too). I've been obsessed with Ocean by Ren and Eden, I feel like it doesn't get enough recognition. Keep on going down the rabbit hole of Ren's music.
Nobody is ready for that...😂 good reaction. Keep'em coming, man!
in Voilet tale he does the rewind sound on guitar to go back in time then later does it forward to come to present time
its such a clever tool to use to give the illusion of time like that!
Ren is a modern day bard painting such vivid imagery with his storytelling that it pulls you in and forces you to keep watching - even when it gets physically uncomfortable during Violet’s Tale. And Ren uses this ability to shed light on far too real issues in the world. Ren is special.
Great review. You got it. Keep going down the Ren rabbit hole. Subbed.
Great reaction. I have been listening to music for 5 decades and Ren is the most original and captivating artist I have had the pleasure to experience in all that time!
He does seem to be so distinctive amongst his contemporaries today.
You my friend are going into my 'Fave Ren Reactions' playlist! (Yes, i have such a playlist🙈...Don't judge me 😅).
Fabulous reaction to this amazing Oscar and Grammy worthy piece of art! Can't wait for you to do more 😊.
oh I'm judging you, alright! And you're awesome! lol
Hey man, found your channel today and it's great!
About pausing and speaking over, do remember that are your reaction and toughts that we came here to see, once most people that chose to click on thi video already watched the original. And for those who didn't, the fact that you put all the song/video info on screen should help a lot.
Oh, and you may want to put Ren X Chinchila - Chalk Outlines (live) on the reaction queue.
EDIT: Grammar and recommendation
got that written down, so I will get to it soon!
Great reaction Dusty🔥I have subbed for your Ren journey you will not be disappointed!! Nice to see my fellow Renegades are helping w/the journey... we are an awesome group of humans who do support each other. The trilogy is a hard dark story. looking forward to your next reactions. All the songs are diverse you never know what you are gonna get. Greeting from Canada🍁🖤🍁
thanks, Brenda! More's coming soon!
Something in your reaction got me thinking: both Jenny and Screech had walked these streets thousands of times before, and neither one seemed to have a way out of their situation. I wonder how many times they’d walked past each other and narrowly avoided such an outcome. Gives a sense of inevitability to their final interaction. Freezing and fighting in the face of danger is a bad combo. If it hadn’t happened on this occasion, what would have changed to prevent it from happening on some future night? And yet, they were both looking for safety and could have supported each other. Such a shame indeed.
damn...that is true. They may have even known each other from elementary school or something, and then one night he just makes the wrong choice.
No one is ready for these songs
I couldn't get through it for a while
Several watches of them helps gather all the parts together I found
You did very well with this reaction to this tragedy
Welcome to the Reniverse!!! 🥰Fab reaction! 🥰
Thank you!! 😊
Nobody is ever ready for this song. It still brings me to tears. And that's ok. Art is supposed to make us feel. It's a shame that we arent more accustomed to experiencing art that can bring such profound feelings. And you will get a lot of that with Ren.
Tragically sad and beautiful. As you said, "I don't like that, I mean I love that." Ren has frequently left me with similar feelings, trying to reconcile my cognitive dissonance of 'wtf' and 'amazing.' To help summarize Ren (if possible), I like what Sinéad wrote about him:
"Every song and or artist in history even Willie Dixon, Chuck Berry, The Beatles, NWA, Ice Cube, and even Bob Dylan, is officially relegated to class B. As are every actor in history or legend: living or dead, male or female. We all are now defunct." - Sinéad O'Connor
she wrote that about Ren!? WOW! that is exceptional praise from an amazing artist herself!
Jennys tale was prompted by a newspaper story and people saying its such a shame then a few months later came Screeches tale then it was nearly 2 years later he released Violets tale tying it all together. Masterpiece.
Great reaction... you earned a sub from me... thanku 💚 welcome to the Ren rabbit hole... prepare yourself as your journey has only just begun... and it is going to be the most amazing journey as you discover the very special world that is Ren.
Delighted to be able to share your journey 💚 its great fun, like discovering Ren again through your eyes.
Ren is an absolute genius and his talents are endless. 💚
(also... everything Ren does is on purpose... )
The 💡 moment when every one realizes the ending lol. You did not disappoint 😊
Love this reaction, you are the first (out of countless reactions I have seen) who takes the time to step back and disect this piece of art.
You gained a RENegate subscriber 😊
Will look through your other videos too.
really!? How can they not go back over it? Theres so much you miss the first time listening!
Love that you got the French troubadour feel at the start of Violet’s tale.
i may not have known the term, but glad you knew what i was getting at! lol
Let's see if Ren won't surprise us with a new story... I love music and being a recovering addict, Ren has helped me so much... and you reactors I love seeing your reaction to Ren's art, you are also part of my recovery...
I love you...continues to respond to Ren and has a new sub...
PS-I'm from Portugal, I don't speak Portuguese, I had to use Google Translate, sorry for any mistakes.
love from PORTUGAL
bem, farei o mesmo e espero que traduza bem! haha Posso ver como a música do Ren pode ajudar no processo de cura. Envio todo o meu amor a você em Portugal para que continue se recuperando! Obrigado por assistir!
(just in case that translation was awful:)
well I'll do the same and hope it translates well! lol I can see how Ren's music can help the healing process. I'm sending all my love to you in Portugal for your continued recovery! Thanks for watching!
💔💔💔heartbreaking story.
Welcome to the RENiverse!!!
Thanks, Jamay!
An amazing breakdown, thanks!!
Glad you liked it, surray!
The look of dawning comprehension at the end is priceless
i can't wait to watch reactors to this song now! lol
There's not a bad song in his incredibly diverse catalog. Subscribing so I can tag along on this wild ride.
Lovely! A double reaction! Great format!
Haha.. I don't think anyone is ready or expecting that end. Another great reaction! I look forward to seeing your other reactions to Ren's videos and music. 😊
haha I've seen a few since and I agree lol
Wow. You don't miss much. You caught way a lot of things than all the reactors I've watched. You're the only one who guessed that Violet was Screech's mom in the beginning of the story. And so much more.
I truly enjoy hearing you go over the verses. Who knows, I might learn something new from your perspective.
thanks Karen! I'm still nervous trying to break down songs, but I'm warming up! lol
Jenny and James are names that are often given to babies that are orphaned nameless, in the UK.
Jenny was walking the streets late at night, going back from work, in high heeled shoes. Streets she knew well, having walked a thousand times before.
James never recognised that she was as young as him (14)... probably because she was made up to look older (the rosy on her cheeks)..
Jenny was a prostitute, at 14.
Both kids were put in the system and ended up in broken foster homes, and bad situations.
There are some instagram posts where Screech "steals Ren's phone" and that's how he knows about the story... it is hinted that Patrick and Screech's girlfriend, who appear in the posts, are together when Screech is looking for a safe haven.
The story takes inspiration from a news piece that Ren read about a young kid mugging and killing a prostitute and ending up killed by cops himself. Ren made up the blood relation in the third song, which he wrote a few years after the first ones.
I liken this to Tarantino's Pulp fiction. the social environments, the violence, the language, the gritty description.. and the scrambled timeline with the surprise ending.. it's just as masterful as Tarantino could have ever written it (and we know that Ren's a fan of the director).
I don't believe that Violet's father was the one who got her pregnant... for the simple reason that she was helped by social services to get her own place at 16 and be emancipated... I find it more likely that if she had been pregnant at that time, social services would not have just dropped her like that, but would have been involved in the pregnancy (and maybe even moved to terminate it?).. I doubt she would have been completely unsupervised, to the point that she had the time to also, in 9 months, enter a relationship made of systemic violence and abuse.
also, she talks about her baby, singular.. she didn't know there were 2, another sign that social services most likely weren't around anymore, because she would have gotten an ultrasound or two if they had been. My guess is that by the time she gets pregnant (off of Stevie), she was at least of legal age, so this would be at least 2 years later, ruling out her father. as a matter of fact, she might well be in her late twenties, by the time she meets her end, because, as you say, we don't know the timeline.
some people counter with the fact that Stevie called her a liar, hinting that he knew he was not the father.. I think he just called her a liar in the moment, because she was pretending to sleep to escape another beating... or simply because, true or not, it gave him a pretext to give her one... and that's all an abuser needs.
well that puts me more at ease about the pregnancy. But I liked that remark about Tarantino as he's one of my favorite Directors as well! Ya i took it as she was trying to pretend to be asleep and he wouldnt have that...god such a terrible tale, but one told so beautifully!
I remember watching the Tales for the first time and i wanted to crawl out of my own skin.
As a fellow Violet I felt it in every fiber of my body and soul.
I was shook and thankful at the same time.
Shook because he managed to portray the situation in such an intense and raw way, thankful because he shines a light on the ugliness that is abuse.
Subbed for more Ren and your journey down the rabbit hole 🖤
I'm so sorry your life mirrored violet's but I hope you're in a better place now. sending you nothing but love!
@@DFQreacts thank you for your kind works. It is a lot better. 🖤
Have you seen Dark Reflections react to this. It's very emotional. He talks about growing up in a violent household and breaking the cycle
Great work - this, Hi Ren and Money Game are great music but are just one aspect of REN’s music so if you like rap, hip hop, reggae, rock, ballads he does it all. Something for everyone. Enjoy 🫶
welcome RENegade!
this was by far the best breakdown I have seen of this trilogy.
Ren is an experience. his ability to invoke and evoke the emotions. creating them and and willing your to come out for the experience is unmatched.
this trilogy is an amazing tool too. it is , when age appropriate, a way to teach your kids the warning signs, what to look out for so they don't have to live it to learn it.
Ren is definitely masterclass.
the kings bard for sure.
if you need a break from some of the emotionally intense songs there are two that are so beautiful....
i can't help falling in love with you (Elvis cover)
read the comment section on that one, those are some of the most heartfelt comments I have ever seen.
the other is from his band the big push and it is called precious.
one more by the big push,
dignity.
when it comes down to it, take the swan dive, dive deep into the rabbit hole. every song is worth it.
Ren is incapable of making a bad song. his musical magic come from every cell, his soul, and every emotion. he is truly a beautiful and exceptional human being.
it is an honor to be along for the ride and witness a legend on his rise.
enjoy the rabbit hole!
🌸❤️🎶🙏🎶❤️🌸
thanks, Ann! I wrote down that Elvis cover!
@@DFQreacts I know you will enjoy it! that is a difficult one to cover, but read the comments....some break your heart, and others tell of love that never forgotten....
the age ranges on that one are astounding too!
have an excellent weekend!
🌸❤️🎶🙏🎶❤️🌸
I also really like your format of going back and playing parts again. It’s a great idea. I’ve not seen many people do that. 😊👍
Glad you enjoy it! I'm surprised its not common to be honest!
One of the better, more considered post reaction analysis. Ren can also be fun, when you need some joy and laughter try "What You Want", "Uninvited", "Love Music parts 1-4" (each part is a stand alone song) and any of The Big Push's street performances. Liked and subscribed. Thank you.
Thanks, Mikey! I got those written down and will get to them soon! Next week is The hunger!
Amazing, heartfelt reaction to this masterful performance piece. ♥️☮️
and all live and one take is just amazing!
LUV your reaction I’ve watched so many reactors and they don’t break it down as well as you just did so thank you so much for taking the time to do that. You have a new subscriber.
thank you for saying that because thats the part that terrifies me in these reactions haha am i getting what he's saying, am I saying it right, am i making sense!? lol so I appreciate it!
@@DFQreacts there’s no right or wrong really, just some people get different things out of it and I do appreciate getting to see so many perspectives, I respect each one of them but, it does hit a little more special when you find someone that has the same ideas and understanding. That’s why it’s so important to get YOUR voice out there because there’s millions of us and we’re not all going to agree so, if you don’t, then wish them well and move on my friend!!! God bless and I wish you the best success 😊🇺🇸🙏🏻
This is Ren's Bardcore music. He's a master story teller and embodies his characters so well. Samuel's filming techniques were a perfect match to Ren's story telling sense.
both of them together make absolute insanity!
You are a natural reactor. Once again Fabulous job! After watching this for the first time, I needed to know the person who created this. I would recommend you watch his one million subscribers video. It really gives you insight into who he is as a person.
That means so much! Thank you! I've got that one written down, I'll get to it soon!
Watching the emotions flash across your face during Violet’s Tale is beautiful, micro expressions become full blown astonishment! Fantastic reaction new Brother Renegade! The Rabbit Hole runs deep and the Renegades will always guide you through. We are a loyal and slightly rabid group 😂.
haha thanks, Tracey! I've gotten about 99.9% of nothing but love and encouragement!
Bravo!!! I've seen hundreds of reactions to these songs, and yours are right up there with the best. You just GET IT. Thank you!!! Can't wait for you to do more Ren! I subbed and aside from the MONEY GAMES trilogy, I will be waiting for you to also do CHALK OUTLINES (LIVE), HOW TO BE ME (LIVE), CRUTCH, GENESIS, SU*C!DE, THE HUNGER, ILLEST OF OUR TIME, SICK BOI... On and on and on!
TYSM, Poly! I've got The Hunger coming up next!
@@DFQreacts Yaaaasssss!
Really fine reaction!! I'm sure they've told you, but just this week I've seen 2 reactors do the "wrong" version of MONEY GAME PT. 2 and both had to go back to react to the "right" version.
The fans will want you to react to MONEY GAME PT. 2 (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO). The LIVE version is only 1/3 of the whole song with no music.
haha got that one written down, underlined and in BOLD lol
Love the format and quality of your reaction. 💕 Welcome Renegade ☺️
Thanks, AAAAAAAAAA! lol
You had such a visible visceral reaction to hearing what poor Violet suffered at the hands of the bastard & later with the prick. I felt the same fury I saw in you. I really appreciate your reactions🖤
thanks pital!
One thing i haven't seen anyone pick up on. The beginning when jenny is walking down the street qnd is feeling scared for qn unknown reason, saying maybe intuition or something. It was the mysterious connection we hear qbout with twins. She was seconds from meeting her twin brother for possibly the first time ever🤯🤯🤯
What a cool reaction, I loved how you went back through the video and pointed out your favorite parts. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed!
Subbed to follow and enjoy your plunge into the Ren rabbit hole :) enjoy!!
Love your style of reactions with a deep breakdown afterwards! Keep the Ren reactions coming!
Thanks, Roots! I've got The Hunger coming on Thursday!
The pick dropping into the guitar is the first sound, It depicts the cocking of the gun.
Thank you. I've been trying to figure out how he made that sound
ahhh how clever!
Youve got another sub here mate! Great breakdown of Rens stories 🎉
thanks Ordinary!
A great reaction, I really enjoyed your thoughts on this epic trilogy. Thanks 😊
💞🐷
thanks for watching!
Really enjoying your reactions mate. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
he won't disappoint brother
You have great energy. Is that a cat tree in the back? Please share your cat with us😊 #RENegades. Subbed. Pausing is fine. We’d rather you pause and go back a few seconds than talk over him as Ren doesn’t waste words. Thank you for sharing his artistry. He has changed a lot of lives.
ya, but she doesn't like to make many appearances...just Orange Cat things lol
A really really great breakdown and reaction. I’ve seen probably a hundred reactions of this video by now but yours is one of the best. Great job. Liked and subscribed.
oh thank you so much, Well in garden!
When he heavy plucks ,I think of an exclamation point. Also when he sings "where did he go!" I think of someone finding Jenny and crying.
I like that, an exclamation point to the music...nice!
I love one of his first pieces of art: "Crutch", also "Su!cide" for me are to of my favourites. Great reaction! You have got a New subscriber. I like how you make to lisens, one living more fully the experience and another commenting ❤ Saludos from Spain 😊
Thanks, Kaef! Greetings from Michigan...that doesn't sound as cool as Spain lol but thank you! I actually didn't have those songs on my list so I added them!
Congrats dude,looks like your channel is picking up
haha ya, just a lot! lol Thanks, Ron! (TV Reactions ARE coming back next week though!)
🔥🔥🔥 Reaction My G 😎❤️💛💚🖤✊🏿🇯🇲🏴
thank you!
Power for the uplifting side of Ren (Ren, 2 cellphones and Samuel Perry-Falvey=❤🎉 Also Genesis (both official and live because they both are amazing)
Great reaction and well analysed.
Thank you so much 😊
Youre so gracious honey...you definitely deserve it...I love your reactions ❤❤❤
thank you so much, Amber! That truly means a lot!
❤ren❤
I know it doesn't mean much, but you earned my sub with this video. Great reaction, great job, your personality is awesome. Keep up the good work!
are you kidding? That means EVERYTHING! Thank you so much! I'll have more coming soon!
