I'm very grateful for Ren. His music is brilliant but beyond that he seems to have the ability to unite people across social divides and talk about previously unshared subjects which divided and scared us into hiding. So very grateful ❤️

[@JoelBryantVideos]

That's exactly it - a unique talent who's art is transcendent. And how open and raw he is has started the most important, revealing conversations. Super grateful.

[@ClearTheRubble7]

Amen to that! I've also been down the depression "pit" throughout my life, and found Hi Ren and pretty much all of his music therapeutic. Not just therapeutic, but very entertaining at the same time! Thanks for posting this, and enjoy your stay in Paris. 🤠

[@JoelBryantVideos]

His work is honestly the perfect salve for "those days."

[@peterveste6976]

Ren is starting a movement of love ❤️

[@JoelBryantVideos]

Happy to be a part of it :)

[@ricksurratt9034]

I think he’s shaking the whole world beneath us…

[@JoelBryantVideos]

...in the best, and most necessary, way possible.

Hi Ren is what I'm grateful for this week, late to the party but now diving down the Ren rabbit hole and so grateful for all of it, and for him, but especially for Hi Ren. I've cried like I've never cried before, tears of healing rather than despair. This young man has injected a huge dose of hope into me. I appreciate that rather than post a reaction video you've simply talked about it and pointed viewers his way. That's a sub from me :)

[@JoelBryantVideos]

Thank you! I completely agree with everything you've said about "Hi Ren." I can't count the number of times I've watched it, shed a good tear and was able to move on with the day. The guy's a generational talent and one of the sweetest musical rabbit holes I've ever found myself sliding down. Well worth the journey! And when someone like that comes along I'm not going to ride his coattails. Sure, some reactors offer clinical, intriguing breakdowns, but I'd rather people went to his site, subscribed to him, streamed his music and supported his art. He's got something to say. (But still: Thx for the sub :)

[@franticfish1644]

@@JoelBryantVideos Completely agree with everything you've said! Looking forward to checking out some of your other stuff - I see you have quite a career, I thought I recognized your face. So many sweet rabbit holes opening up since discovering Ren :)

❤Thank you for supporting Ren❤️

[@JoelBryantVideos]

He’s a gift and I’m happy to be witness to him :)

[@madcat528]

REN has definitely been a blessing! Amazing person! ❤

[@JoelBryantVideos]

Absolutely!!

[@NilZed1]

Thank you for making this wee tiny 'reaction' video. I discovered Ren via Hi Ren about 3 months ago. it's an amazing video. The man was determined to live his dream, even when he was ill, when a 'good' day came along, he made music which he released here. He stayed true to his dreams even through nearly a decade of crap. which is quite a lesson for others of us who have given up in the face of far less trying circumstances. Some of his music is pleasant and happy and positive, but honestly quite a bit of it is dark and about hard subjects. It is all worth listening to though.

[@JoelBryantVideos]

Yes to all of this and thank you for the comment! As much as I am loving discovering his music - from the fun, loose tracks to the more serious, introspective personal pieces - I do think it's his story and his perseverance and his creativity and his soulfulness just adds to the message: Keep going, it does get better :)

[@hilarycharman-2924]

Thank you for posting this. Yes it should be played in schools and colleges and anywhere where people will see it. Ren is a beautiful person and an amazing artist.

[@JoelBryantVideos]

All the Yes's to this!

[@craigmitchell604]

Damn dude. Well done. And you took the time. Much thanks. This is important. Thanks for beckoning a village. I just joined it. 🌹

[@JoelBryantVideos]

Appreciate it man! Sometimes you're just moved enough by art and a unique creative spirit that you do want to be part of that village, and hope to add to it. I feel like Ren is creating his own solar system of like-minded positive heads and I'm happy to be a small comet in that swirling Milky Way.

Greatest video for mental health ever! I've been singing its praises since I discovered it in April. I couldn't stop watching all the reactions waiting to see if they found it equally chillingly accurate and exceptionally good. The only person that said anything bad about it was my big sister. She hates everything I love so she said he sounded annoying to her. She couldn't tell me about the message so, I know she started it and immediately turned it off. Her loss! This is what he calls Bardcore. So fitting. Watch the Tale of Jenny and Screech next or Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla is awesome

[@JoelBryantVideos]

Ahhhh aren't siblings the best lol This one truly nails mental health in a way I haven't seen. I've also gone down the reactors' rabbit hole as well....which I've also already done - probably way too much - for the "Tale" trilogy and anything with him and Chinchilla. But the more we keep putting it out there, the more eyes and ears will find it and the more people will benefit - so keep on spreading the message! (The other thing I love about Ren's music: It's connecting positive, like-minded people and having an affect on social media as well. Keeping it positive!)

[@momishka7]

Ren IS a masterpiece

[@tedlitschauer9061]

Great video and great suggestion

[@norahdenovan8658]

I am in love with REN. He is a golden soul with talent, gift, rawness, humility& love. He truly is helping to saves lives. He did come close to calling it a day, thank god something stopped him. He also on top of his own struggles lost his best friend who jumped off a bridge. REN& Vessel from Sleep Token are the best of people out there just now. WORSHIP ❤

[@JoelBryantVideos]

100% agree - pure artistic genius as a musician and human being

[@donnaewe3692]

Thank you! Ren is a divine gift to this world. ❤️‍🔥 you just got another new sub ;-)

[@JoelBryantVideos]

Aw that's very kind. Love the Ren community and the support they/we show. Absolute gift. I truly made this video just so more people sub him and check him out, but I appreciate the reverse sub as well :)
