**FIRST TIME** Streamer Reacts: Ren - Hi Ren

Stages of watching Hi Ren: This looks creepy Guitar sounds nice Oh he’s singing Will the whole song be like this? Here’s the beat Ok he’s rapping now This guy is scary Now he seems nice Oh I see what he’s doing This is interesting This is intense The mean guy is a jerk This is INTENSE Make it stop I haven’t blinked or taken a breath in 2 minutes Go Ren! YES! OOO-OO-OO-OO-OO-.. I need some time to be still

The strange thing about humans is there is such a narrow sweet spot. There are so many that live this same life. But, there are those that don't have that inner struggle. They don't get it. They've lived their entire life with no one, not even themselves, challenging them.

[@sammyd8860]

There is no genre for Ren, his talent genuinely breaks all boundaries. He writes, sings, raps, produces, beat boxes, you name it. Try Sick Boi, Chalk Outlines (live version with Chinchilla), Diazepam, Genesis, How To be Me (live version with Chinchilla). If you fancy some brilliant story-telling try the Violet/Jenny/Screech trilogy. If you fancy rap try The Hunger, Losing It and What You Want

Loved this reaction. You're so right when you talked about how we need to not beat ourselves up. Like ren said, it's not a battle to win. it's a pendulum. Angels and demons dont have tonworry abiut the dance. They are either all good or all evil. Human beings are both. If we spend our whole lives trying to be perfect, trying to overcome, we will realize one day we haven't actually lived at all.

It's impossible to pick a favourite song...my opinion changes daily. It depends what mood you're in. Serious/deep mood...Sick Boi, Chalk Outlines, How to be me, Diazepan, insomnia, Depression, Money Game, Crucify your Culture Fun mood...Losing it, The Hunger, What you Want, Power,Genesis.1990's, Bittersweet Symphony, Praise You To hear him sing..any of his busking sessions with his band The Big Push or Sam Tompkins. That's just a few...there is so much more! Subbed because I loved your reaction, and its nice to see another British Reactor loving Ren.

He calls his music " Bardcore " i ain't gonna argue with him about that ✌♥️

[@slcncr]

I know nothing about the physical and mental struggles that come with an auto immune illness, but i suffer from severe chronic depression and immense loneliness for more than 30 years. I *know* that evil and nagging voice inside my head, i hear it every single day. It is so powerful and exhausting. Self doubt, self hate, low to no self esteem, lost the ability to experience joy, nothing excites me anymore. Literally *nothing.* But a few months ago, Ren pops up on my video suggestions. Now I pretty much listen only to his songs and collabs and with his Band "The big Push". This bard, multi - instrumentalist, rapper, songwriter, singer, lyricist, producer ... has left me speechless and "WOW !" so many times. I have watched hundreds of reaction videos to his songs and i really like watching people´s faces and body language when they are blown away by Ren. I am absolutely certain that he WILL win Grammys in the future.

[@mburkitt7678]

Loved your reaction. Ren realized that in order to avoid becoming a victim, he must become a student and learn how to cope. In the end, he also learned that the dance is eternal; however loudly or softly one's own demons speak to them, they are always looking for new opportunities to control us and they never give up.

[@dannford-premiersothebysin9057]

His catalog is so deep, and his lyrics are profound and have sunstance. He's a breath of fresh air.

[@vegasjh]

Love that I found Hi Ren reaction vids because I sit and watch all of them. This video & song together are brilliant. With his facial changes, vein in his neck and lights flickering when bad Ren is talking... genius showing the different sides. & towards the end when he hits some singing notes, damn, he can really sing too. "And I go by many names also, Some people know me as "hope".... Some people know me as the voice that you hear, When you loosen the noose on the rope" My wife hung herself in 2020. That line hits me hard. She battled her own self & lost. Maybe that is why I am drawn to this song/video so much.

[@JensRandolff]

Here is some additional information on Ren's story that I gathered from old newspaper interviews, articles, and Ren's livestreams and posts where he discussed his condition. Ren Erin Gill is a British musician/independent artist; born in Wales on March 29, 1990; he eventually moved to Brighton. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, Ren began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. In 2010, he was signed by Sony Records and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue and subsequently dropped by Sony. Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led him to experience psychosis and develop PTSD. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure. Ren is currently in Calgary, Canada for more treatments, including surgeries, and will have to be there for at least six months (Summer of 2023) undergoing IV and other interventions five days a week. Ren recently underwent wisdom tooth removal and cavitation surgery. In addition, his Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD), which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, adrenals as well as his bones/joints. Now, Ren is receiving additional treatments for this previously undiagnosed condition. Let's keep supporting Ren as he undergoes his treatments. Check out and subscribe to his channel, if you are a content creator, ask your audience to subscribe to Ren. Listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to the world, and his work is important in these troubling times. Someone has finally created a Wikipedia page for Ren, so there is additional information available. Here is the link to Ren’s GoFundMe page to raise money for his current treatment. Ren has exceeded his initial goal. However, his goal was very conservative and did not reflect the added costs of unforeseen surgical procedures, and treatment for additional health issues such as MCAD. www.gofundme.com/f/ren-get-better-from-lyme-disease-and-autoimmunity

[@clayschuetz899]

First of all, first time visiting your channel, and wow,you are absolutely gorgeous, had to get that out of the way lol. This work of art that Ren has created, it's more than just music, more than just art, it's his soul given for all to see and experience, I must have watched it a hundred times in the past couple weeks since I discovered it. I honestly had to stop it first time, I had to turn it off, it reached soo deep inside and I realized, that's me, I've dealt with that psychosis all my life, I was born with those voices and never went through therapy or took medication, I learned the same things he did on my own, but when I buckled up and went back to watch it all the way through, I'm in tears right now typing this, it gave me such empowerment, I still struggle, but this beautiful piece Ren has created, has helped me gain more peace, and he has such courage to do what he has done, and I now have courage to come out to people and say, yes, I have this problem, I've had it all my life, but I'm human and I'm flawed,but I'm ok, and I am better than what my other self says. This is not just art, it's a beautiful gift of knowledge , given by one who has endured the flames, and come out forged and stronger than ever, sooo beautiful. OK that was a long comment, please watch his video with chinchilla, it's called Chalk Outlines, another amazing work of art.

Welcome to the RENaissance, a home for the lost and broken; enjoy the ride If you want to dive more into the rap side of his catalogue, I'd start with "What You Want" which is a brilliant homage to the Beasties, followed with "Genesis" followed by "Sick Boy" followed by "Illest of Our Time" (this one goes after the previous one so you have some grasp of the meaning) and the trail goes from there For more ... Rock(?) fare... Follow the breadcrumbs to The Big Push ... and dive in (I personally suggest Sweet Little Lady, Swan Song, Englishman in New York, and the cherry on top ... I Shot The Sherriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop)

@@chlooeeeexo yeah, that one is a beast and perfectly explains why people refer to Ren as 'Bardcore', the way he's able to spin the tale is captivating. One thing I'll give you a heads up on because I caught myself in the same trap, I call it 'Ren & Friends', the man has surrounded himself with incredible talent and it's easy to overlook some of them so make sure you don't limit yourself, explore. Sam Tompkins (as an example) has been a revelation, and I'm just now discovering Eden Nash. All of them deserve attention because they're all exceptional, so spread the love as they say, you won't regret it, I promise.

If you want to really understand just how eclectic REN'S range is, you can watch the video "Losing It" kzbin.info/www/bejne/o33ZcnqgnammqcU (the Fisher Rap Remake) and see his fun side. It is crazy just how talented this guy is, from his Reggae take kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4TIdKiIapalm80 on Bob Marley's "I shot the Sherriff" by the Big Push (that band is no longer together, however, as REN has gone solo) to duets like "Chalk Outlines" that continue on the mental illness theme. duckduckgo.com/?q=ren+x+chinchilla+-+chalk+outlines&atb=v358-1&t=chromentp&iar=videos&iax=videos&ia=videos&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D35yALr_opeg He has been around for a long time, and his KZbin rabbit hole runs deep, as I now have a playlist with at least 10 REN excellent songs and another 10 good ones.

[@kablegames2446]

So fun facts about the song and ren is he isn't trained to play guitar he is self taught and learned from KZbin videos also he did this song as a 1 take and live so there was 4 versions of the song done all 1 takes and this was the best one if you see at the top of the robe aswell there is a mic for the live recording

He genuinely appreciates all Reactors and also his videos are not copyrighted so will wave any claims to them 🙏 This was live and four takes with close-ups added to the end. Cost £1000 to make and his friend Samuel Perry-Falvey filmed it. Ren and Chinchilla Chalk Outlines and How To Be Me live are so good. Sick Boi his new album will be out this year and 16 tracks. Rap to Rock to Reggae influences that lyrically get you sucked in and can hear words. I'm 55 and hated Rap tbh. Poetry/art/music though he really is great. Just subbed 👍👍👍

There are many little bits in this video... When he first plays the guitar, 1/2 through he makes this interesting smile and his guitar playing changes... like there was some chaos added in there.

Before he tries to lock up bad Ren he seems to have a moment of doubt - he looks at his guitar and finishes the task. What an amazing work.

[@efrat394]

Ren calls his style "Bardcore" which is a good description because his acoustic guitar has nylon strings which makes it sound more like a lute. His storytelling style is most evident in "The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full)." The "sequel" to "Hi Ren" is "Sick Boi" and his most recent release is "Illest of Our Time" which is a double entendre given the knowledge of his health issues. The most popular of his collabs is "Chalk Outlines" with Chinchilla.

[@efrat394]

I also like The Hunger.

[@stephenlackey5852]

This is art of transcendent beauty and an *important* song. Artists often struggle with imposter syndrome. There’s a movie starring Olivia Munn called “Violet” that rings of this and was a transformative experience for me-much the same as this song resonates. As a person who’s never been able to escape negative self-talk and imposter syndrome, *realizing* that I can exert the strength that destructive voice questions-strength that already resides within me-was sooo important. It takes time to push past the negativity-to make your own voice stronger, but if anyone out there is struggling with this, please please please *know* that you can do it. *Know* that I believe in you… but you don’t need me to-just like you don’t need the shroud of doubt that feels first of protection and then as a prison. You are *stronger* than that voice. You are stronger than you can *possibly* know… until you push back with softness or aggression-your choice.

For example, epic storytelling: "The tale of Jenny and screech (Full version)" ; fun, upbeat, positive jams ("humble", "what you want" etc,) for straight on rap rap ("The Hunger," "Losing it," "Illest of our times," "Ocean," "Life is funny" etc), Discussion of serious topics (eg "Dominoes," "Genesis " "Dear God," "Insomnia" etc), political criticism ("Money game I &II," "Crucify your culture)" straight on singing ("Chalk outlines," "How to be me"). Hope you go down the rabbit hole and do more postings 🙏

Amazing reaction, heartfelt and spot on, so glad you found him because there is a deep dive ahead of you!

[@jeffreygreer]

first off Chlooeeeexo thanks for not pausing every 10 seconds like most do, this is fuqin genious, it brings mental health into light and shows each of us we have that negative voice putting fear or depression on us and how we fight it off i don't care if you're muhammed ali bruce lee we all have that eternal dance for me its alcohol, weed and tobacco, hooked on all 3 when i was 7, and being forced to go to sunday school and church every sunday aged 4-16, it was the swing 60's now i'm 60 and 8 years post massive stroke, tobacco every minute....smoke a cig it relaxes you curbs your appetite me.... they are so bad for me, they stink my girlfriend and friends hate em, tobacco, we've been together 43 years you can't quit me, and so on every one of has a negative thought pattern trying to tear us down, just remember people we are'nt angels, and not as bad as demons, so stay strong baby its a scary rough world much love from central cali from a desert rat 70's metalhead

Chalk Outlines is another top song by Ren..Where has this guy been ?? Actually it’s a duet with a girl named Chinchilla.😊

I'm only coming late to REN. But I just wanted to say that Cloe pretty much was me. Initially.... wtf, then realising what and who we just watched and listened to. And if that portrayed just Ren's story or more everyman. Whatever way we see it or take it, it's powerful, connecting, visceral deep, and deserving of praise for pushing the viewer's introspection. A class act. And great reaction, Chloe, to something so dynamic and deep.

[@chlooeeeexo]

I'm so late to the party too but it's ok Sean we're both HERE now :D I love how everyone connects with it in a different way. Difference is you all SEE my thoughts, but with comments I hear y'all

[@PaulEngineer]

You're on a roll chlooeeeexo !! Several great bits of conetent/reaction/discussion in a row. Means I'll probably have to stick around ;) I'm pretty new to Ren... defer to others.

Thank you! Loving Ren, and so much more.

my connection to this song is only the similarity of struggle,, i'm undiagnosed autistic and have struggled with being a bit weird my whole life i had to start my own business because i had problems holding a job with sleep disorders and high ethics.. but managed to stay in business the last 40 years without needing to advertise or even carry a card, i run a lawn and tree service, a 1st responder thru 40 years of hurricanes in fla ,and do all phases of construction and kind of an inventor on the side, after six years of development i figured out a disaster response product that could help millions worldwide .. then my insurance agent forgot to post a payment back in 2020 and the state took everything i worked the last 40 years for away .. stuck at home like a prisoner i came online and saw people helping others so i started making videos explaining what i was. trying to do to get help, and found out if the platform your uploading to doesn't promote you your just talking to your phone, and then i see stuff like this and get jealous because i will never write a song that gets peoples attn like this. so my chances of bringing my ideas to the world are fading. and it's scary as hell to think of all that could be, but it may all be lost because one person forgot to hit enter on there keyboard.. and my chances of succeeding alone are close to those of getting out of quicksand alone..

After this you definitely need to watch the full video of Jenny &Screech’s tale the full 3 songs🙏🏽

[@mohamedalimaaroufi4327]

I started following you cause I loved your accent and it was by accident when I clicked on a KZbin suggestion that's to say how sometimes the algorithms do it right , the same that it did to you to discover Ren I love the guy, his song had helped me cope with my crippling depression and anxiety last year all his songs totally describe situations that if you don't experience you don't know how it feels really

[@chlooeeeexo]

Thank you so so much. I really hope you're doing alright and I'm glad he's helping you find yourself and more about coping. Massive props to you & hugs your way! Love how he makes people feel.

Lovely reaction. It really is that powerful.

[@chlooeeeexo]

Super powerful.

[@z3rocoo142]

Love the fact that you let it just play and commented at end. Your visual cues were all that were needed during his performance. Also was filmed in one take...let that sink in a min.

[@chlooeeeexo]

Thank you, that means so much. I know!! it's crazy how much I learn from you all haha

[@worsethanweanticipated9789]

Have you ever offered a kind word to someone simply because you recognized it was needed? Fed someone who was hungry? Provided an encouraging hug? Of course, you have. These connections are necessary for the healthy growth of humanity. As humans, we are all born with the capacity to be each other's therapist in moments. We are all good enough.

Pretty much most music you listen to but with Ren you feel it.

[@chlooeeeexo]

I feel a lot with a lot of my music tbh!

[@nancymunroe3672]

You really need to react to Ren's Thank You Speech celebrating his 1 millionth Subscriber!! We want to be there with you when you watch it!!

[@toditron]

I've heard people describe this as Bard Core, which is not wrong.

[@colinlear9757]

If you want an astonished view of Rens range & talent, watch these. The Hunger, Losing it, Money game, Ocean, Dear God, Do you believe , The big push, I shot the sheriff & Animal. You will be stunned at his range Rap, Reggae, jazz, there's just no end to his genres. He plays every instrument produces & performs. He is very sick check out Ren interview with Justin Hawkins from the Darkness if you want to know him.

[@chlooeeeexo]

[@kevinlangley3782]

Full version of the Jenny , Screech and Violet tales should be your next listen if you enjoyed this emotional roller coaster...

[@chlooeeeexo]

I am so ready, I think.. maybe, not really but this week.....

[@patrickquinlan3056]

Ah! Other songs by Ren? "Sick Boy" naturally follows on from this despite being quite different. I have been on a quest for a not very good Ren song for several months. I have failed in my quest. My favourite is the Jenny, Screech and Violet trilogy. I have watched many Hi Ren reactions and this one I really liked. Well done. React to more Ren please. Any more Ren!

[@chlooeeeexo]

Sick boi, J&S, so many to come!!!

i still get chills listening to the song ive heard over 100 times

Ren is epic and I think that his storytelling is definitely Shakespearean and bardic for a modern audience.
