Great reaction. Wonderful observations. I love when people realize how great the "loosen the noose on the rope" bar is. You wouldn't believe how many reactors just let that one float right by! Thank you! Keep going with Ren. He is an AMAZING storyteller. You should definitely check out The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full version... it's a trilogy but need to be done in order). Also, he can RAP RAP... you'll find a ton of great examples (Illest of our Time, The Hunger, Power, etc...) His band The Big Push is really great too... Have fun!

[@fnegnilr10]

I also felt "loosen the noose on the rope" was completely overlooked by most reactors. And, if you ever ate Long John Silver's or Red Lobster, the "seafood pretender" is also a very real thing.

[@becbrown212]

I think the line is 'deceitful pretender'.😊

You like when someone pauses every line and tells you what you just heard it ? Music is the most effective modes of communication. If a song is trending this is a especially good story teller .

[@karlbecker8775]

You weren't far off when you asked if this was a song about torture. It's about the mental anguish Ren has been dealing with for years. He has Lyme disease, but was misdiagnosed for nearly a decade and just fed a bunch of drugs for mental illness. The man is a true artist, very talented, and extremely brave. Also, aside from the camera work, he's pretty much a one man band. Thanks for the reaction!

[@mstash164]

The pig butcher at the beginning…..I think it represents the medical professionals getting his diagnosis so wrong and feeling of being butchered by them

[@Defiance-77]

I'm so happy you caught the "losen the noose on the rope" line. That's tha one that gets me every time. I watched countless reaction videos and for some reason most reactors just let that one pass by. To me that is one of the strongest lines in this amazing song

[@snakevenomv]

Powerful!

[@flfl2]

They always have a physical reaction to it (like the gotta kill you line). they just appear too scared to address it. I can understand. It IS very confronting for most - something most would rather not contemplate. It's easily the most uncomfortable yet powerful phrase in the whole song.

[@bluefloyd1]

I'm so disappointed when other reactions gloss over that line, but I think I understand why they don't dwell on it.

[@camillafuchs7347]

Yup, I've watched at least 5 reactions on that song and no one commented on that line. It's the one that hit me hardes too!!

[@GenuineUntelligence]

I don't think it's just that many people are scared to address it, more that he's describing a very specific feeling that only people who have stood on that precipice and chosen to step back again can truly understand. It's something that is very difficult to put into words and though Ren did so perfectly, he still only managed to describe it to those who already know.

[@fibienn250]

It’s amazing how you manage to notice so many of the details, so quickly and with a first viewing too. I’ve probably watched more than 100 reactions and no one has achieved what you have. Most reactors notice the small details according to their own life experience. Psychologists analyse to mental health issues, rappers and musicians connect with his musicality, filmmakers talk about cameras and lighting. All of them struggle to focus on details beyond the words and their special interest. Some get so caught up on the words and feelings that they don’t hear and see anything else; they often even forget to talk.😅 You have done it all. You have an interesting mind.

[@RAIN-AGAIN]

I think it’s “ YOU “ who is interesting Fibi.( including your cool name) I was turned on to REN’S work yesterday……. Have watched at least 8 reactions so far ………. fascinating to see people’s focus on “aesthetics”( appreciation of beauty ) and you’re 100% right; Snake V was looking at every nook and cranny!!! I was so happy to see him leaving no stone unturned!!! As a jazz composer I too revel in REN’S musical virtuosity! However, as a writer dabbling with short filmmaking, I certainly have to bow ty REN’S on point acting, and to Samuel Perry Falvey’s cinematography input …… just phenomenal. It’s because of interesting, big hearted people like you that’s cause “ Snakes “ subscribers to rise from100 yesterday…… to 662 today 5/1/23 Lastly…… I never thought I would be anxious to see someone else watch a video?……… that’s still a mystery to me……… but, it’s sooooo satisfying to see someone “ rise in consciousness “ before my eyes!! Idk. Anyway, I’ve only seen 2 videos so far…… and I think, at the end of the day………… I’m impressed the most with REN’S bravery and selflessness! If it was up to me……… I’d give him the Nobel Peace Prize!!! His humanitarianism is a rare gift to the world. Ok, Stay sweet,stay safe, and stay interesting Ms. Enn Many blessings!🕯

I saw it as he now controls his mind and therefore the lights. We all see differences. Have a great day from the UK. 🙂

[@Sagovindar]

yea the dance never ends, but i also hear his triumph over evil in that last part by accepting it as a part of himself, so in a way he won because he gave in if that makes sense...

[@5353Jumper]

The "WooHoo" bit at the beginning is clean and cute. At the end it is darker, dirtier, more confident, more mature and arguably a lot better. As if an older more mature musician is performing it. Amazing skill to pull that difference off.

[@dillonpatterson4310]

Pretty much at the end its him just saying fuck it, and accepting both sides of himself. You'll notice when he gets to the end his voice is a combination of both ren's intonation.

[@jamesbell8861]

Welcome to the REN Rabbit Hole. This is the artist that keeps on giving. Every tune is a Banger. This one and 'Chalk Outlines' broke me. 'How To Be Me' was emotionally draining. And his Fun and Cheeky Side is done with a fantastic sense of humor and skill ... "LOSING IT" is some of the best RAP on the scene. This guy can spit it with the icons. The wordsmithing is at NEXT LEVEL with every song. And every song is so different.

[@kylefrandsen2665]

I also thought this deserved an award and I was trying to think what category you would put it in for a Grammy. It finally dawned on me the best category is actually an Academy Award for Best Short Film - this isn't a song. Aside from the cinematography, his acting is spot on - his body language changing in an instant - his voice - his facial expressions. This was a live recording (you can see the wires on his back at the end), so he didn't shoot one "character", reposition, then shoot the other "character". I think they edited in some of the closeups (especially the monologue at the end), but it's essentially live. Ren was the Director, but cinematography was handled by Samuel Perry-Falvey. He helps put this over the top and seems to handle most of Ren's solo videos. Ren masters several genres, but with your eye for cinematography, I strongly suggest "The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)". It's comprised of three videos that are also available individually, but the full version is essentially in the tradition of a Shakespearian tragedy. Since these are also live recordings, they really use the acoustic properties of the environment (Especially in the 3rd part, "Violet's Tale").

[@davidjames3080]

It was actually nominated for the recent Prague music video awards and although it didn't win any of the 4 categories it was selected for it got an honourable mention in the Best European Music Video section.

[@juliedavis1040]

Nice!

[@jeffreywhitehead9386]

Thank you for those relevant details. I love the way Ren clearly sings upwards into the staircase and uses the long echo decay to enhance that moment and the camera follows that moment. It really does place the viewer in the setting.

[@steakandsanity]

I was thinking "Breakthrough Artist"

[@eddysimnett]

I don't normally watch reaction videos but have watched many for Hi Ren. Yours is by far the most illuminating and tied up so many of the loose ends in understanding the song and video and for that I thank you. The observation I made is, at the beginning of the video the lights are not flashing when Ren contentedly performed the wordless vocal before his 'demon' appears. then at the end he is content to perform the same piece with his 'demon' present (i.e. the lights flashing) signifying that he has come to terms with his 'demons'. Great reaction video 🙂

[@BruceMcRae-ez6st]

Like most responding to this excellent reaction, I have likely watched 100s of other reactions. I appreciate your observation of the flashing lights in the final vocal section that Ren has confidently come to terms with his inner demons and is thriving through this acceptance

[@snakevenomv]

Absolutely spot on!

[@iandism]

That was a fantastic reaction mate. I've seen over 500, and you are the only one who has picked up on many hidden meanings in the video itself, large and smaller lights, lighter and darker shadows etc. Excellent review 👌

[@andipatel5044]

Knox hill has the best you can take the word from the artist

[@Dryndal]

I had the same thoughts...

[@tamaraknezic1310]

I've watched many too, maybe not 500, finally realized tonight that the dance at the end, is THE dance he mentions in his ending monologue. He is for the first time in the video projecting his whole self, the light and the shadow. Not sure why it took so many views for me to finally see it. I haven't got to that part of this reaction video, I'll be curious what he sees.

[@davidmarcus5833]

Hope you get a 10 fold increase on subscribers after this reaction, I have watched over 100 reactions to Hi Ren and now just click on Hi Ren reactions just to give a thumbs up for reactors for covering it as I dont expect to hear anything fresh on this masterpiece, but you certainly have done it justice.

I feel like most of us with mental health issues get it right away, being that it’s his own inner voice telling him he’s not good enough no matter how many pills he takes, the darkness will always be there. Even the setting with the room and the lights. I’m not sure why more reactors don’t see all that but you did! I was so impressed! Thanks for the great reaction!

[@kymsalow7676]

You got this video in exactly the same way I did, as a retired psych nurse of 31 years. Especially the "voice that loosens the noose on the rope". SO powerful. I think this video deserves some sort of award for its brilliance. I tried to articulate what my clients were going through for years and could never make others relate. Ren does it so artistically and movingly. Whoa. Just whoa. I'm deeply moved. He's a genius. ❤❤❤❤

Thoughtful inciteful reaction, thank you. The wheelchair has L.D. on the back, Lyme Disease. He is confined to this and the mis diagnosis, then stands on his own two feet. As you said, a masterpiece.

[@simontemplar3359]

You went deep. That was excellent. I know Ren appreciates that. There are live streams from him where he mentions how much he loves reactors and how artists and reactors can help each other. He talks a lot about lifting each other up. But he was super excited watching Knox Hill dissect Illest of Our Time. Anyway, based on how you felt about this and how you responded to it, there's an amazing rabbit hole to go down. Ren really is a once in a generation, maybe even a lifetime talent. Here's a breakdown of the rabbit hole to get you started: Chalk Outlines- look for the live one he did with Chinchilla (sidebar- she is incredible and has 2 joints worth checking out: Little Girl Gone and Fingers (live version of fingers will blow your mind)). Tale of Jenny/Screech/Violet- each came out singly, but he has a video where all 3 are in order. It's the gold standard for story telling and artistry. I don't believe I'm overselling it at all if I say he has Shakespearean level of skill with his tragic story telling. I think you'll especially appreciate how he uses ambient reverb and room sizes. These are also 1 take performances. To get an idea of the scope of what he can do, I'd break it down like this- watch those 3 together. Next I'd watch some live performances. A tremendous one is one he did with his band The Big Push. Check out "I shot the sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop." Prepare to be blown away. Next, grab "The Hunger." Think you've got a handle on how many genres he can do masterfully? Check out Money Game Part 2, Humble (feat Eden Nash), and I forgot how to be me. (Live version with Chinchilla) Real talk: these are all some of the most incredible, lyrically packed, musically brilliant, and masterfully performed songs ever, and I'm also a musician and super difficult to impress with new music. This guy broke my mind.

Excellent reaction, matching the artist. Ren is something else. Since the release of this song he talked me off the ledge, made me realise that i do find hope daily in small things. I learnt to be less cynical, more accepting and kind to all, including myself. His art is making us better. Someone commented that he will save us all, and he certainly makes this a better place one person at a time. Very thoughtful reaction, thank you!

[@adam.4487]

Thank you for this reactions. You caught more than most others. Especially the part about the rope. I am 74 years old. My first time of hearing Ren was this one. By the end I crying like a baby. My family, myself, my children have been through hell, each with their own demons. Struggles in life with our own doubts, dreams and disappointments, and then the b.s. from others interjecting their ideas about this and that. My son is bi-polar, my daughter suffers from agoraphobia and anxiety attacks. My issue is talking to myself and hating myself, fighting my demons and at the same time trying to save everyone else. Life is sometimes a real bitch. I will sometimes shed a tear when hearing this, but I've stopped the sobbing. Ren is amazing at having us see ourselves and recognizing the trials we go through. Whether we are physically ill or just an ordinary human that is in some emotional pain. I am tired of telling my subconscious to shut the hell up! Yet the battle continues and I see it for what it is, actually helping me with decisions and life directions. Where do we go from here? Where ever it leads us, don't force it, accepting whatever or fighting it if you can.

Oh man. The previous commenters were not exaggerating. The amount of details you caught on the first watch is INSANE. Instant subscribe. Some of the small details I have so far only seen one person notice,.youtuber called Lightmane, who is not even a reactor, he just watched a lot of reactions and realised nobody seems to notice what he noticed, so he wanted to share it with the world. But you noticed them on the first watch! And what amazes me the most is that you did it while at the same time remaining a normal, emotional human being! In other words, if you would be just a cold analyst with mad eye for details, it would be easier to accept (I want to believe I'd catch them too if I wasn't too overwhelmed with emotion), but no, you were very clearly strongly reacting emotionally, and still being able to notice them.

Wow, that was really a great reaction and breakdown of this song and video. Many will point out that this was a single take video with different camera ankles and this is what I love about many of Ren's videos that he did together with director of photography Samuel Perry-Falvey! You will definitely need to do a reaction on his Trilogy about Jenny, Screetch and Violet (which may be even a longer reaction video but I wouldn't mind), Money Game Part 1, and his latest song Illest Of Our Time - but of course, there are many more incredibly diverse and interesting songs from Ren that you should check out, including his cooperations with other amazing independent artists or busking with his band The Big Push. It's just so much fun!!

I see it has been mentioned below, but I will add my support for reacting to The Tale of Jenny and Screech, the trilogy. It is three separate videos and needs to be done in order of Jenny, Screech and Violet's stories.

WOW! I really appreciate the kind words! I'll add all of them to the list 🤟Thank you for your support

[@donald1379]

Ren is incredible enjoy the journey......

[@AllenZerr]

I truly enjoyed your honest, well thought out reaction. Well done. I had to subscribe. I think Ren's one of the true artists we all need.

[@beccaduncan3443]

Fantastic reaction. I love seeing others get excited and totally get every aspect of whatvRen is saying, with the production, his guitar, his voice, his body language, everything. You have my sub and I highly recommend you checking out more Ren and his band the big push. He is so diverse and everything he does is just phenomenal and means so much. Very talented young man. ❤

[@art2736]

Pointing out that the smaller, non-flickering lamp was smaller and set back was an excellent observation. It was to mimic his timid side, almost cowering from the flickering lamp.

[@amygone2pot]

It was great watching this, because your reaction is so much like my own when I first watched this a couple of months ago. I was gobsmacked by every aspect of this true piece of art.

[@LaurindaTimmins]

Great reaction. Enjoy the Ren rabbit hole. You've just scratched the surface!!

[@danaoleary680]

The next Ren you should do is Jenny and Screech full version... great reaction

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

Sick Boi might be good next too. It's in the same room.

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

@@GhostWatcher2024 Absolutely. There are so many shades of Ren - he's like a prism. His work with The Big Push - things like Bongo Bong and I shot the Sherriff/ Road to Zion/ Hip Hop with Ren in red suspenders are all upbeat fun and happy.

[@Kana668]

Amazing analysis! I was super impressed with how many details you noticed that I had missed after watching so many times. When you mentioned the shadow and that third source of light from the top right, it made me notice the kind of “godly” light just barely shining down and the subsequent dark shadow casted to the bottom left floor, totally going along with his message of “the brighter the light shines, the darker the shadow.” Thanks for helping me understand this even better!

[@marktaylor1799]

Commenting half way through your reaction, I have watched many many reactions but you are the first person to mention the room representing him being stuck inside his own head or the dark side lamp being dominate over the light side lamp. Really good thoughts, Iam enjoying your reaction and looking forward to other observations you may have as it gois along.

[@marktaylor1799]

listened to the 2nd half and saw you picked up on the viictim and student line. I think that is important and you are the first person I have heard that agrees with that statement, if you watch it again notice that the first time he does the " yodeling" the lights are not flashing, you noticed that they were during the 2nd sequecnce of yodeling, I think that represents that he has learned that the struggles he went through are what allows him to be so creative, without his dark side he would not be the incredible artist he is. The flickering lights at the end represent the power given to his creativity by acepting and learning from all aspects of his mind. I am subscribing to you in the hope that you react to some of his other videos, he has very profound thoughts and an uncanny ability to communicate them to a very wide range of people.

[@mi-dz6md]

That was a fantastic reaction! You figured out that everything Ren does is intentional without having seen any of his other videos and that’s impressive! He’s an amazing artist and so versatile. Welcome to the rabbit hole 😊 subbed!

[@jenniferedwards9005]

Only one other reactor pointed out when he looks forward to "us". I noticed it after couple times seeing it but no one ever mentions it. Well now only two have said it.. i just thought that was cool u noticed it. When he says f*** you, to the bad Ren, where his voice cracks, almost breaks me everytime. Like u can feel his pain/emotions. And then i almost cry, but a good cry, when he stands.. its just such a beautiful song. Beautifully done. I hope u dive into more of his music. You wont be disappointed. I love seeing more reactors listening to his music..He definitely deserves it. Thank you..

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

Truth in a blender. What is reality when facts and truths don't align and point in the same direction like a compass?

[@LHartman-gj7dl]

Great reaction, I'm looking forward to you discovering more Ren. The man's a genius.

[@RonNL70]

Great reaction 👍 Great eye for detail 👌 Yup, subd and hit the bell 😉 Ren is a very versatile ARTist... a rabbithole well worth diving into 😉

[@MikeyPea72]

Be prepared for your mind to be blown on almost every occasion you watch a Ren performance. There is no end to his talent. Your perceptive analysis did this art piece justice. Thank you.

[@jurgenhess134]

One of the best reactions! 👍

[@emilianoserranosouza1991]

One of the best reaction to this amazing performance!! Thank you!!

[@kmercer9632]

Incredible reaction! I've watched dozens if reactions and I can't believe how much you picked up from one viewing. I think of this as 3 voices: evil with large light, Ren with little light stuck in the corner, and hope the light above. When you get to the part where you say he has a mental break, that is what he references in his monologue about the battle of good and evil being futile. Then at the final song all three voices are able to sing together to make improvements over the intro song. Also, it is interesting to see a few reactors jump on the segment about doctors pushing pills. They agree with the dark side that doctors don't know what they are doing and go down the evil pharma rabbit hole. These reactors forget (see monologue) that doctors are students and human beings.

[@dalton642]

Great insights. I’ve watched this music video hundreds of times and one of the items I really agonized over was the flickering lights in the outro. I was afraid it was intended to say that the darkness was actually taking control. But I think your take is much more accurate, it’s him showing that he has learned to live with (and dance) with darkness. That he can still create and dance and have joy even with that darkness as a part of him. Thank you.

[@richardstratton7689]

“I would battle the forces of evil, and for the next 10 years I suffered the consequences” this is one of the most profound lines that goes unnoticed. Because for anyone who has given themselves to a life of faith, it’s unreal how fast darkness attacks you when you turn your self toward the light.

[@snakevenomv]

Like turning your back on a tiger, quickly becoming a susceptible prey

[@G02372]

Insightful reaction 👍 The tale of Jenny & Screech (And Violet’s tale) displays his incredible command of language and storytelling, will not disappoint.

[@emptymonkey]

I'm looking forward to seeing his other work, but I promised myself I won't move on until I can watch this and not cry. We're on day four.

[@boxicuk1620]

Welcome to Ren,enjoy the ride,great reaction 👌

[@seth1455]

great review man, look forward to more, he has a huge back catalogue but as other commenters have said "Jenny and Screech(full)" next, it's like nothing you have seen before🙂

[@CPegRun]

This was filmed live!! Ren mixes his own sounds!! He produces his own videos!! This man is pure genius!!! I don’t believe he is a generational artist!!! He’s so much beyond that!! I feel I’m able to have an opinion on this as I’m, nearly 60, and have heard, and really love the best of the best, music wise, to me anyway!

[@gggg-zl2ih]

great reaction thumbs up :) subbed

[@p12440134]

I watch a ton of music reactions to many genres of music, and lately Ren has consumed my interest. I really enjoyed your perspective of this song in particular. You were able to form your own theories and connections (on the fly) to how everything connected to what Ren was trying to portray and I think that was awesome. Keep up the good work man. I will be looking forward to your next reaction.

[@WariWahab]

Not a lot of people noticed the shadows

[@marlafowler3543]

YEAH!!! I was mad at myself for missing that cuz I love photography, so that shoulda jumped right out at me!!

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

Seeing your reaction, particularly the end portion, I think you will really enjoy Chalk Outlines. Another great kind exploration is Mansion by the artist NF.

[@darelynborunda3376]

Wonderful reaction. I hope Ren gets to see this one.

[@art2736]

I get the "torture" aspect, but I also think the Pig Butcher represents the mental health care system itself. Also, both lights flickering at the end represent both sides of Ren coming together in that eternal dance.

[@rickyfrost8352]

Nice to see an intelligent reaction. Well done, your channel will do well.

[@paulslee341]

this is one of the better reactions I have seen. You caught more than a lot of the other reactors. Good job,

[@StephiesCorner]

Great review! You definitely caught some things others missed. New sub. I think: There are 3 Rens. The dark, the light, and the whole Ren. I think the whole Ren may be represented by the the spotlight from above, as it is much brighter than the other 2. If you notice, after the dark has his rant, the whole Ren comes in, and the voice is different than the other 2. Just my opinion. I look forward to more reactions. I will have to check to see if you've reviewed Ren's busking and one of his collaborators, Chinchilla. She is amazing, too.

[@Bleeglesplotch]

I apologize for any negativity in your comment section. As with everything in life, where there is so much good, well... opposites attract. I appreciated your lengthy in depth analysis of this song and video. So for the naysayers telling you you're doing wrong, I am here to balance the scales and tell you the opposite. Keep doing what you enjoy, people like that!

[@AudioVile]

I have listened to this masterpiece almost 30 times. You have interpreted this lyric (and all of the other sights and sounds) with more empathy and eloquence than anyone else I have yet heard. This single reaction will stand out in my mind for a long time. Liked and subscribed. (you say 100 in this video? At the time of MY listening you clock in at 2.56K subscribers. I can see why you are growing that quickly! You're good!

[@snakevenomv]

I really appreciate those kind words and your support! Thank you and much love ❤

[@gregdurham2730]

Your reaction was one of the best I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot! Thank you! Your channel is about to explode!

[@ChrisSlaughter-pz6zr]

He writes, produces, makes his own beats, etc. One of the most creative artists I've ever seen. The guy is amazing.

[@geralynsteppe5974]

You'll find Ren a deep well; I hope you will explore his music further. He was also in a band called The Big Push, and there are quite a few awesome sets and songs performed live on the street. Great reaction, and congrats on all the new subs!

[@LadyGnomeofthewoods]

Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. Definitely react to the Tale of Jenny and Screech, long version. I predict you will be blown away again!

[@snakevenomv]

Looking forward to it!

[@rapzilla76]

Very good and detailed reaction. Seen many Hi Ren reactions and this one is probably my fav one so far. Keep doing videos because you’re doing a bang-up job.

[@snakevenomv]

I really appreciate the kind words. Thank you!

[@PazEdenMoor]

I love the way you have pulled this apart... I never noticed before, The small light from the dark side is casting the strong shadow. As he mentions at the end. Great reaction top work. I have liked and subscribed

[@snakevenomv]

I appreciate that very much! 🤟

[@kevinlangley3782]

Your next listen should be his " Tale of Jenny and Screech" (full version) , then Chalk outlines (live) that he did with Chinchilla, then Hunger or losing it for his rap skills. The guy does it all ,excellently.

[@mikemurphy7519]

I have watched no less than 30 reactions. You hit it better than anyone, you have amazing observation skills. The only thing I think you missed is watching this without stopping for the first time.

[@truthseeker6046]

Thank you for taking your time to appreciate this beautifully raw artistic masterpiece. 🥰

[@agape843]

Fantastic reaction!

[@seanleo3464]

Let’s not forget Ren writes and produces all his music. His beats are sick. If this guy didn’t do music he’d make a great actor. Glad he chose music, A TRUE ARTIST

[@treeboar711]

He sure as farck did speak into existence the hope that loosened the noose on my rope. Very well said I've watched a couple hundred reaction vids for this and yours is among my choice for best and I'm only about halfway through. 1,000 subs coming up Edit: I now fully understand what he meant by victims and students thanks to your insight even though I'm both. You touched on so many points often overlooked. Dude...Sir, you nailed this reaction

[@snakevenomv]

I appreciate that, thank you for being here with us!

[@braca977]

The best reaction so far...PERIOD. and that line:"some people know me as hope"... So beautiful 😃
