I was married to an abusive man and the way Ren pulls you in with all he has (voice, guitar, acting, knocking on doors, etc) which makes you feel scared, nervous, sad, and very emotional…as a survivor of physical abuse, he gets you pretty close to how it feels to be a scared young woman getting beat up. I’ve never seen anything like this or heard anything close to the brilliance of this young man. It’s also nice to see a young man like yourself embracing your emotions. It helps me to feel like maybe the younger generation hasn’t succeeded in trying to cover up their emotions by pretending they don’t have any. Thanks again!

One point I haven't seen being conveyed is what Jenny does. She's a 14 year old girl, that walks the streets of London for 1000 times, in high heels... Her age is hidden during her tale, presented as a young woman, but then you understand she's Screech's age, 14 year old girl... the amount of layers you can thought through this trilogy is mesmerising. Thank you Chief for your reaction, absolutely loved your metaphore of the forest on Hi Ren. Cheers from Portugal!
@clarabenn8798 ай бұрын
There is one tell in Jenny's Tale that Jenny is very young... Screech calls her "girl". 14 year old London boys wouldn't call a woman "girl" beyond about the age of 17, it would be "lady".

I loved how in the first two, you broke down everything you heard and assembled the pieces into your view of the story's progression. Very engaging for me as my anticipation built toward seeing the same done for Violet... Where you would have all the pieces of the puzzle to see and feel the complex experience he performs as a whole. It's partly a picture where he gives you clues and details along the way, but words can only be seen and felt clearly when you have the context and circling history. Why had 14yo Jenny walked those streets a thousand times before in heels and makeup? To appreciate the depth, you need to step back and take it all in. Only then can you see the miracle Ren even mentioned, that the cycle in this tragedy broke itself! History repeated itself out of existence. Ouroboros choked on It's tail! The chain of violence, illness, silence and stillness was broken when two of its links spontaneously mutually annihilated each other. Two sides of one family curse knotted together the loose ends of its legacy.

I think what truly makes REN A TRULY DIFFERENT ARTIST is that he is an extremely intentional artist in all aspects(Lyrics, Videography, Costume, Vocalization & Tonality, Cadence, Body Language & Facial/Micro-expressions, Lighting, Acoustic Instrumentality, Narrative Skills). He is so exquisitely intricate, meticulous & intentional about every single facet of his art from top to bottom, from start to finish, from idea in his beautiful mind to the beautiful minds like yours that do reaction vids lol It’s almost scary how a single human can do this and not just like once but like consistently. It’s Dope but almost alarming haha I just got hip to Ren about 3 months ago so I am still getting through his catalog. You can’t really binge his music back-to-back like most other artists. You have to listen, absorb, listen again, absorb more & then sit with what you’ve extracted from that specific piece of artistic expression and then move on to the next piece. He’s just that type of artist really just that type of human being from my limited understanding🤷🏾♂️

Birds of a feather flock together. Us RENegages truly Rensonate with Ren's music and each other in the community he has built and personally I see you have that same good soul Renergy - yeah I know all those play on words was cheesy😄 but in all seriousness, I really appreciate Ren, his community and the Reactors who are sharing the love for Ren and opening up with their own vulnerabilities and experiences that flavour their take on his music - ive literally binge watched 100's and each gave me something, a different observation or trains of thought, but only a handful of those stuck in my mind - and you're one of those. It's that need for a sense of connection with others I think, we feel Touched when we see someone else's Feels and Recognise parts of our gentle, empathic selves in whats quite often these days a hardened world that can feel alien and inhospitable to us - or it does to me at least. He's opened a Portal and I'm really glad you've joined us all to step through it. Agreed, out of the ordinary: EXTRAordinary - is capitivating. One of the things that really amazes me about his stories & the way he delivers them is that he manages to convey an entire story and get us to care about/ become emotionally involved with the characters (including himself) in a few short minutes when even many feature length films just about ( or even fail to) do so in an hour and a half. "It's like watching the greatest movie but from the Inside" - perfectly put, that's exactly it👊

I found your channel through your reaction to "Hi Ren". It's your realness and obvious personality that has kept me coming back. I've dove deeply down the rabbit hole of your videos. I feel now like I'm watching a friend. Wanted to share my view on why Ren affects so many people in various & deep ways. This will probably be convoluted, I hope it makes sense. Ren is a once in a generation multi talented genius. He is our Paganini, our Mozart, our Vivaldi. He is a Bard, a gleeman*, of immeasurable depth & talent. I believe he is all of these things in part, because his talent for music & words comes from a place of honesty. He has spent his life, as young as he is, perfecting his musical abilities. While at the same time, he has Lived. Capital L lived. Illness, it it physical or psychological that is experienced for many years and survived changes the prospective & view a person has on life, and everything it encompasses. *Gleeman: a medieval wandering musician who performed songs or recited poetry with instrumental accompaniment.

I love your forest analogy with all of us following a different path through it and coming to a clearing where Ren and his guitar are there to entertain and enlighten us. How luck we are🎉

Isn’t this just what we are all needing in a vacuous world of toxic superficial messages which have shaped us into something other than what we are always going to be! We are human, and means we have to accept we are all the wonderful and disgusting things humans can be in various mixes. We need reality. Ren had given it in these stories for a few years now and we are only just starting to properly respond. Your reaction makes me feel more part of something, and that’s from his song about a very honest and visceral part of reality. Thank you

Absolutely love your insight and reaction. Ren is new to me but I find he has a beautiful way of pulling the humanity out of people. It’s amazing to see how with a handful of lines he can introduce 3 characters and make you care for them so much you can experience true loss. I think we could all use to be reminded a little more of our humanity before we lose sight of it completely.

I've come again after Hi Ren, to hear your thoughts on this as well. And once again, your honesty has surpassed that which I would've expected from the diehard Ren fans that like me, might not listen to metal. But I'm hooked now and looking forward to your reviews on things perhaps I wouldn't have listened to. Keep keeping it real. You're the real deal holyfield. Love from Chicago. Xo

"Divergent" is good way to refer to something as weird. Love your reactions, Chief. We would all love to see you react to more ren.
