REACTING to REN (The Tale Of Jenny & Screech - FULL) 🔥🤯🙌

I didn't imagine a world in which there would be another song from Ren that would hit me as hard as Hi Ren did....I was wrong. The Tale Of Jenny & Screech was something entirely different, and beyond special.

"We must protect Ren at all costs" best comment on Ren ever. Thanks for your awesome reaction.

[@philproffitt8363]

It's like he's revived some medieval art...a story-telling style we dared to forget. I feel every dirty city had minstrels like this. Ren is a master conduit for things not discussed openly enough in my 52 years.

A Bard, a poet, a Troubadour, a Wandering Minstrel, a Thespian. Yes, as you say, he must be protected. Bringing back the sounds of Medieval times. I can't wait 'till he does a performance of this type of music actually playing a Lute.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Yeah it's something special alright.

[@surrayahsjewels]

[@JohnDoe-xr8lr]

If you gonna do more Ren, I recommend you do the live version of Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla.

[@tjh5716]

Agree

Agree

[@TheGiusinoGirl]

This! I cant wait for Chase to flip out over the environment sounds in that one. Its really my favorite 🥰

[@smack_pop7]

Yup definitely this one next ✌️ also how to be me ft chinchilla both song the live version for sureeee

[@jrmfsu]

Yes please

[@MissMeKate]

Your thoughtful, considered, response to Ren's music has made your reactions some of my favourites. Ren's storytelling is exceptional. He cried when he saw how many reactions there were to his new song on his birthday yesterday, so I hope you know how much the support of reactors means to him. (Someone clipped that section of his livestream: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHy4aneYlq6MpdU) I think you'd appreciate the songs he did with Chinchilla: How to be Me (live) was written about his best friend who lost his life to suicide. And Chalk Outlines (live) is also a very raw and beautiful song. Both are more melodic than Hi Ren and the Trilogy of Tales, and give you another side of him as a performer. Money Game pt1 is cinematic and profound, with pt2 being blunter and less interperative but still very honest. Sick Boi tackles mental health and other themes in a grungier, rappier way that is still very different to anything else out there. If you'd like something more joyful from him then his band (The Big Push) have some uplifting things like It's Alright, Praise You, or the busking session I Shot the Sherrif/Rd to Zion/Hip Hop. There is so much to explore, and it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on whichever facet of his work intrigues you the most.

[@ydo-bc5wj]

These are so many great suggestions! I agree!

[@joguipo]

​@@ydo-bc5wj Me too

[@TheEverydayPoet]

In your HI REN reaction, which also caught you by surprise, you led off with comments about bravery and authenticity (on the part of the artist) and expectation (on the part of the listener/viewer). At some point in my life, I came to realize that I'd been holding an expectation only when it was violated. Since then, it''s become almost a joy when I notice those violations and attendant aha's. I've never encountered an individual who provides more of those aha's than Ren, who always surprises. By now, you and I and many others are months into these treasured Ren joys, and community has formed around that, along with the sufferings, copings, and healings that are essential to the human condition. I didn't mean to say much more than a deep thank-you, Chase, but I trust you understand.

[@TauriReacts]

That ending had me shaken for quite some time.... such a lyrical genius!

[@ChaseCarneson]

It’s remarkable. Still has my mind and heart on a string.

[@sentenced03]

I get a Shakespearian vibe from this it has this strong tragedy feel to it. I love this so much its awakened a feeling of something very old and forgotten yet modern and relevant.

[@Jason_xofilos]

Shakespeare level with the depths of a Greek Tragedy.

[@TomPhotoix]

I listened to this yesterday for the first time, but only after watching this now, did I actually catch the ending properly. That completely passed me by the first time somehow. It’s been said thousands of times, but here we go.. I’m an old metal head who rarely ventures out of that genre.. But this guy is something special.. a true storyteller. A Bard of modern times.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Hey man, yeah this guy is something special. Honestly one of my favourite videos I've done. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and support!

[@donlynn]

I’m 67 and his music is probably, no definitely, the best I’ve heard, I have music from just about every genre in my collection, everything is so special, his duets with Chinchilla are magical and his band, The Big Push, wonderful, I’d suggest you try them all

[@llSplice]

Greatest storyteller musician of our time.

[@violindylan]

I genuinely like your calm and analytic way of reacting. However, even though you might not express too many emotions verbally, I could definitely see in your facial expressions how much this was emotionally affecting you. Thank you for sharing this moment!

[@ChaseCarneson]

This definitely hit me very hard. Editing the videos and watching the premiere i saw that even more. It’s a special song, from a very special artist.

[@TheBorderRyker]

Wow. That was an incredible reaction. You can see the various emotions going across your face in the harrowing last lines of Violet’s tale. Just before the final sucker punch to the gut! I fell down the Rabbit hole when I, like you, experienced “Hi Ren” for the first time a few months ago and my brain exploded (I have MS, anxiety and depression.). This one song resonated in every fibre of my being. It took me a couple of days to fully process that this young man (I’m 56) in under 3 minutes both musically blew me away and gave a voice to my inner struggles) Then I did a KZbin search for Ren and stumbled across “The Trilogy”! Clicked on the full version and I was drawn into the genius that is Ren Gill. I’d recommend Money Game parts one and two next. Just incredible. Or yesterday (Ren’s birthday) his latest track “Illest of Our Time” (also incredible.)went live. Oh, or “Chalk Outlines (I don’t think I need to repeat myself lol) where he duets with Chinchilla! Either way you have many wonders to discover. Ren is truly a rare talent. I haven’t been this exited by an act since I saw AC/DC live in a small 2500 seat venue a long, long time ago. I was just passing through but I think I’ll stick around. Now to watch your “Hi Ren” reaction. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤘🏻 P.S. Welcome to the RENaissance.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and also for comment with such kind words. Really appreciate it. Ren is beyond special and I’m so incredibly lucky to share my journey with you all. Thank you 🙏

[@DukeOfTwist]

Must've been in regional Australia in the 70's to see AC/DC in a venue that small?

[@TheBorderRyker]

@@DukeOfTwist That must have been pretty awesome. Best rock band to ever take to the stage. I only got to see them that one time unfortunately but damn what a show! Brian Johnson strode past me with Angus Young on his shoulders playing one of his famous extended solos. Angus was (and still is) a true rock god!

[@oberon190848]

The falsetto directed up into the stairwell gets me everytime

[@lonl2119]

Have no words for this beautiful sad performance. And you re right, Ren is "only" telling the story. In order to be able to do that, he literally shakes himself before the beginning of this tragically brutal story at 16:21

[@russ9839]

I say it's time to have your mind blown in a fun upbeat way. Check out "The Hunger", "Losing It", and "What You Want" and after that check out him with his band The Big Push specifically doing their cover of "I shot the sheriff". Limitless talent this guy has.

[@jamie4993]

Like many I suppose, my first exposure to Ren's work was "Hi Ren". Now seeing this, the kid has one hell of a musical vision doesn't he? Here's hoping he and his vision can finally break through.

[@aiden5star5]

Honestly when the line "twin lay side by side" my brain Instant went back to the line "jenny and screech lay 1 street apart" and dots connected and when ren confrimed it my heart sank.

[@yilomina2047]

Chase, I just want to echo others' suggestions to watch Ren x Chinchilla live: Chalk Outlines. They're absolutely beautiful together!

[@kylebrooks338]

This god damn storytelling man! Maybe it’s weird, but beginning of violets tale, ren gets up and does a shake. I felt that. I used to do that all the time in theatre to get into character

[@stacey37m]

I have noticed that also , His "acting" is somewhat underrated

[@sistermoon1970]

One of my very favourite reactions to this and Hi Ren and I have been in a reaction rabbit hole for weeks. The respect you have for the talent, the artistry and the work put in to the videos is also very authentic. I look forward to seeing more Ren reactions, because trust me you are never going to get bored. I also suggest you look up “Ren reacts to reactors” taken from his twitch stream on his birthday when his latest song was dropped. It will validate your worth to him and I’m sure all the other reactions you do. Having followed him for a few years it absolutely broke me to see such raw humbleness. Oh also his band, The Big Push worth checking out too, Bongo Bong & I Shot the Sherrif/Road to Zion/Hip Hop are my personal favourites. New UK subscriber here. Peace and respect ✌️✊🫶

[@michellelevert5128]

I’m so excited for you to see How To Be Me (live) for the first time. I already know you’re going to love it.

[@JMaster23]

I've seen a few reacts to this, but I could tell from your eyes that you caught the twist before Ren articulated it clearly. Great reaction and quick thinking! 👍

[@ChaseCarneson]

Yeah it hit me a little before and it was an enormous rush of emotion. What he can do with music is surreal. Thanks for watching and supporting 🙏

[@tabsterpt5464]

Chase, loved your reaction! You get it. And I appreciate that you do. There will be ton of suggestions for the next one for you to react. They're all good, but different styles from what you've been exposed so far. But that's ok. You can pick any confidently. Ren doesn't do bad music. It's all a matter of style and personal taste. I would like to personally recommend you one of his collabs with Sam Tompkins that I usually don't see having much love on the comments section. It's an original song by them called "Blind eyed". There are several live versions on yt. Pick the MC sessions one, please. An absolute 💎 of a performance by these two gentlemen! Thanks and keep going! ❤😉

[@davealfdergraue3266]

Ren has a really wonderful soul. There're much other good and brilliant things to say about him, but for me that's the ultimate core of his fantastic art. ♥️😇

[@KoRnyRocks]

What i honestly loved about your reaction to this, is when i Violets tale, you talk about the choices to leave some sounds in, the ambient noise etc. I could actually see you got emotionel about it because you loved the pureness of it.

[@Runeforged]

Man I went through a rollercoaster of flashbacks and emotions with this musical story. I Haven’t lived that kind of life for over 20 years now but it came back so clear.

[@no54atu]

Great reaction to this masterpiece buddy🙏🏽 Some details about this amazing performance - Violet was silent just like Jenny and Screech was violent like the father - they were both lined side by side in the hospital and when they died on the street - Patrick was not at home when he knocked bc he was with her girlfriend cheating on screech who was busy - Every song words start with the guitar high note banging on the string saying someone is about to die - 2005 in violets tale was the date she gave birth and 2019 is when Jenny’s tale came out which makes her 14 years old

[@rebeccawallace6443]

I love your authentic reactions to Ren's music. Along with the other suggestions below, Crutch, featuring Bibi is a powerful track.

[@Tearnofear]

You can tell how he and his Team got better and better from one to the next. Jenny is him as a Bard, busking on the Street. In Screech the play with surroundings and Camerawork starts. Violet.... i mean, it's pure Art. In every aspect

[@euieui8920]

Honestly I've been watching so many reactions to Ren because I remember how it made me feel the first time I watched it and I love seeing it happen again and again. But your reaction is by far the best 👌 you've earned my like and subscribe, your not overly analytical and you're not afraid to just listen and feel and then describe those feelings... good work man keep it up

[@_Sixthstep]

As far as I'm aware, Ren doesn't have any other "epics" yet in the same way as "Hi Ren" and the tales trilogy (by which i mean longer, explicitly narrative driven songs, and I could be wrong on that, I only discovered him in December when he released "Hi Ren"), but i absolutely adore his song "Blind Eyed". Awesome reaction, as per usual, love the thoughts you manage to put into words, like at 7:15

[@badsabre5917]

Yea I love Blinded-eyes with the Parking Garage Attendant. He and Sam are amazing.

[@ydo-bc5wj]

Blind Eyed (with Sam Tompkins) is a great song. Personally, I love the live versions of Blind Eyed so much more than the produced one.

[@tabsterpt5464]

Yes, definitely "Blind eyed"! There are several live versions out there. I would personally recommend the MC sessions one. An absolute 💎 ! He and Sam are crazy good together.

[@arrowbennett7681]

I love watching Ren blow people's minds ❤

[@ChaseCarneson]

He’s special

[@sistermoon1970]

I’m so glad you picked up on the conscious decision to leave certain background noises in. I feel this get overlooked a lot. They are very deliberate to draw us in 👏👏

[@Thomas.Saunders]

Thanks for your reaction. Our guy Ren always leaves us feeling that we were hit by a bus, does he not? But we always come back for more because of the beauty of his music and depth of his words. Take care.

[@ShinnaDEW]

Its such a pleasure listen to your reactions. Usualy i only listen to them without watching the actual video itself. Your take is so different on many levels. Looking forward to more Ren reactions! Keep up the great work mate!

[@jarimaatta3674]

Thanks! I really was waiting for this reaction. And there's so much more Ren just waiting for you. :D

[@WitsEndGirl]

[@timdupont3227]

Loved your reaction to this wonderful story

[@pami333]

Good to see you're back. And good to see you falling into Ren's art. It was his birthday yesterday, btw. And if he doesn't stumble over your reaction anyway, maybe just reach out for him? He's currently still in Canada for treatment, away from home and friends, I think it wouldn't be a bad thing to get in touch with other musicians, that are sold right after the first song from him and even more so after the second.

[@ordinaryvalley]

Takes a genius to recognize a genius.

[@juliem660]

I look forward to your next Ren video. It will be worth the wait... for just as Ren is a gift at just the right time for this world... so, too, is your authentic, insightful, thoughtful analysis/reaction. The quality of your words... & what underlies them... is just as needed today as Ren's inspired art. May you be blessed. Til next time... enjoy the view.

[@studmuffin169]

Your jaw to the floor at the end says it all.

[@Art_Vandelay_Industries]

That's just incredible. The songwriting, the performance and cinematography are out of this world. Also: i think the guitar playing and the compositions, especially of the intros are really wonderful and highly impressive. Thanks for giving it justice with a wonderful and thoughtful reaction. I can highly recommend Ren's busking gigs with sam thompkins as well

[@Ranik-Jason]

Thank you for your reaction and the calmfully and analytic words at the end. I loved the way you could summarize what made this such a special experience. "and it feels like he's telling the story, it doesn't feel like he's trying to tell a sad story... it feels like the story is sad... it feels like the story is sad... he's just telling it... these are two diffrent things" - this was the best way to explain what many of us are feeling while listening to him and seeing it effecting us emotionally but can't describe what he does exactly to make that happen :) Hope to see more of you in the future!

[@davidhaworth7152]

I heard this first. Probably a few months before I saw/heard Hi Ren. It’s gold. Pure gold.

[@sharis9095]

My favourite Ren is Crutch (with Bibi). He wrote it 6 years ago before he had the Lyme's diagnosis and was really struggling with his health. (both mental and physical.) It is a completely different side to him.

[@francesdoll4039]

CHALK outlines and Crutch. Thank you. I shared this to Ren's Rabbit Hole Fans page.

[@simplysimon9868]

The ending hits hard like sledge hammer! Before release he did short videos on his phone getting stolen by Screech. It nearly backfired as people unsubscribed and friends blocked Ren. You see Patrick and friends with his girlfriend. You could tell Patrick wanted to get Screech's girlfriend away from him. Screech bullying Patrick and friends. Added to the whole story. Great reaction 👍 subbed brother.

[@eddyspliff4090]

Your on point with that. its not about making a sad song, its about a sad story thats need to be told.

[@Shiroar]

Ren is a modern day bard. And so much more. He is a multitalented genius. I already see multiple suggestions for Chalk Outlines (live), so I just want to add Crutch feat. Bibi to the list of recommendations too. It is a stunning piece of raw emotion.

[@brandenh4313]

This ^^^ Absolutely he should do both of those songs. You have to watch the video for Crutch though, it will leave you in tears!

[@aaronlombard3119]

Ren is just amazing, all his stuff is so good, and the range of different genres. The big push is also amazing

[@linmonash1244]

You're right. It's not 'A Song' It's a whole piece of Street Theatre and Videography with the full drama and tragedy & twists and turns of the human condition, laid out in Shakespearian depth. Ren is master lyricist, musician, singer, actor, composer, script writer, director, story teller... Stunningly good. Yes, I believe we have, not a National, but an International Treasure here. A true and inspirational Creative. There are Music and Drama Teachers/ Lecturers coming out now and saying they are adding this content to their curriculum for their students to study. I hope Ren is seeing this development. To my mind this is a far greater accolade than any Grammy! I believe with just the one song/ performance; 'Hi Ren', he has done more to engage understanding and empathy for people with mental illness, than decades of Public Awareness Campaigns aimed at reducing stigma. Right HERE he has done the same for: Domestic Violence, Social Breakdown, At Risk Youth and Street Violence. He engages you - not just as a 'viewer' - but as a WITNESS! He screams; You can't look away from this!" This is real - happening every day. You - I - We need to do what we can to address these issues. To make a difference. Yes, we all want Ren to be well and to stay well and to pace himself as he moves forward in his career.

[@AdamDray]

This is the best musical analysis of this trio of songs I've yet seen. Please keep doing what you do.

[@AdamDray]

I think every musician/composer/artist who watches these Ren videos, at some point, think to themselves, "Man, I really need to up my game."

[@ChaseCarneson]

Very much appreciate that, I know there are lord out there. I really enjoyed my experience of these and glad you liked it.

[@blazeparabellum7325]

You said "its happening again" (pulling you in)..exactly.

[@divinevibrationsyqr]

When you started explaining about playing the happy music when he is telling the worst parts of the story I 100% agree on it as well I also think these stories take a toll on him, so he intentionally writes in happy music while singing the saddest parts to sort of balance out the good and evil. If you see in Violets tale right before he leaves the room he takes a deep breath like he is preparing himself for what I feel is the saddest part of the 3 part masterpiece. I loved your reaction man!

[@SuperSt4rkey]

Freckled angels is a personal favourite of mine the way he conveys his emotions and story about his friend. It’s more of a commercial song but my goodness the way you here him pour his heart out at the end… chills

I made some of my kids watch today. They just thought it was weird. Fortunately my bf loves REN as much as I do. We have his album on repeat in the car.

[@margaretc5679]

It's amazing how Ren connects us with strangers through music. Great reaction!

[@AnAnonymousIdiot]

You hit the nail on the head with the reasons these performances are impactful. Mostly, it’s the authenticity. I love that you call back to the Every Time I Die show you experienced, as that’s one of my favorite bands. In fact, I have somewhat of a unique set of live ETID videos on my page that give you a sense of being there. Check it out to see what I mean. Thanks for the great commentary!

[@dehro]

for something different but still in Ren's catalogue, you can go with pretty much any one of his busking videos where he sings covers from Police, Bob Marley or Black Sabbath, to name a few... or you can go down the rapping river... Yesterday was his birthday and he released an original rap song..otherwise, another one that really showcases his skills is Hunger.

[@taramclelland9240]

Great reaction to such a poignantly beautiful but tragic piece. You say so much with your expressions, and the few carefully chosen words you use are very insightful: "To harness so much sadness... and pain... and to be able to funnel and aim it down a barrel of creativity takes a strength beyond what i am able to tell you with words". Yes. Very eloquently put. Thank you. Earned a subscriber here. Looking forward to sharing more of your Ren journey;)

[@titntin5178]

Thank you for reaction, I felt your experience much as when I first heard this.

[@anticafo]

This was worth the wait! And will be here for the next one! As you explore Ren's music - it's a Reniverse - a world of its own, with versatility, ingenuity and variety - he easily breaks out of any box one tries to put him in by categorizing him. It just doesn't work with Ren. So please make sure you cover different shades of Ren, not just deep and moving like this and Chalk Outlines, How to Be Me, Dominoes, Depression, Insomnia, Diazepam, Pocketful of Pain. But also, jammy, fun as well busking with his former band The Big Push or his pal (and amaZing vocalist) Sam Tompkins - they create magic! Or his rap - Hunger, Power, Love Music 2 and 3. And of course there are the Money Game 1 and 2. Most people miss the symbology in the part one - it would be great to hear your thoughts on that! Thanks again:)

I'd love to see your reaction to Precious by The Big Push. The Big Push is the band Ren has been playing with before his current medical treatment in Canada. I've not seen any other reactor do it...and it's very special.

[@farrahwalker6222]

Great reaction. I fell silent too after listening to Jenny, screech and violets tale.

[@janpulliambracey1732]

You, yourself have a very poetic way of expressing yourself.

On a note to what u mentioned "When editing and cleaning up music these are conscious choices to leave them in"- except there is no editing, all of these are a LIVE performance done in ONE TAKE type of recording/singing/performing and so on...

[@TaiTheDoggo]

If you're looking for another Ren Song to react to I would suggest Dominoes. It might not be as authentic as these three and Hi Ren, since it is more "produced", but I still very much connected with it, emotionally.

[@tjh5716]

I enjoy the fact that you definitively do first reactions.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Ive always been very vocal about the sheer amount of channels lying and claiming “first time reactions”. It’s incredibly important to be honest and authentic, so I very much appreciate the support and the comment

[@tjh5716]

@@ChaseCarneson I found you years ago because I am a huge Sleep Token fan. I watch to see your takes and analysis. I thought your discussion of the background noise and authenticity was spot on and not mentioned by anyone else I watched. In addition, your silence speaks volumes. I can infer the emotion, appreciation, and analysis without the spoken word. Keep it up.

[@ChaseCarneson]

@@tjh5716 honestly this means a lot. Promise there will always be more videos 💪

[@tjh5716]

I would love for you to react to the song Binding Ornaments from the band Vulkan

[@Biempje]

Thank you for your great, heartfelt reaction.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Thank you for watching and supporting 🙏

Bardcore, woot woot!

[@danieldoble669]

Chase, I'm Daniel. I've seen hundreds of Ren reactions, but NONE as intriguing as yours. Awesome. Now I am off to watch your "Hi Ren" reaction. Cheers from California.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Wow, thank you so much. Really glad you’re enjoying these and I’m grateful you took the time to watch and write this. Appreciate it man.

He is an artist : it's all about emotions

I've seen that people are suggesting Ren X Chinchilla Chalk Outlines (live) next, but I think you need some playful, uplifting Ren next. So my suggestion is What You Want, then do Chalk Outlines or How to be Me (also the live version).or Freckled Angels (live).
