Gothic Reacts-The Tale of Jenny and Screech

[@Kenai2008]

Jenny and Screech are Brother and Sister. Twins. They were born together and died together without ever knowing each other. Violet (the mom who was abused by her father and boyfriend) was silent (Like Jenny) and Screech was violent (Like Stevie). Generational Abuse ... another taboo topic, like Mental illness. Ren created a true Shaksperean Tragedy. Much love!

[@NEKingdom241]

Screech killed his sister, unknown to him. Such a trilogy.

[@robert_5974]

Probably don't need to add this but just in case, Violet died and Stevie went to prison so the twins were orphaned and were adopted separately or just grew up separately not adopted...whatever you want to go with. It also may have been a mis-spoken moment but the man who killed Screech was a police officer. You said His friend did it but maybe you couldn't understand the accent. His name was Richard , tall guy ( 6'3") who worked the night shift.

[@frankiek2269]

@@robert_5974. Exactly. Their characters were genetic “dispositions”! Jenny, like her mother, froze into silence, like a rabbit when confronted. Screech, like his dad Stevie, first turned to violence when confronted. Nature vs. Nurture. Their responses are the nature side of their development.

[@juliestaunton3080]

Chalk outlines live version.

[@Will_E_Wonty]

Screech was killed by a policeman. Sirens... blue light... uniform... officer...

[@ozzy7109]

That's a Renegade welcome for ya! 😁

[@rodgersmith6891]

Loved your reaction. His most theatrical video besides this is "Money Game part 3" which has won all kinds of awards. I foresee your next video being "Chalk outlines (live)" and I am down for it. Should you want to try one of his fun/naughty songs try "uninvited" or "Love Music part 4" . Keep up the great work. I realize you are not religious and that's exactly why I also wouldn't mind seeing you react to "dear God" or "eden"

[@celtzen]

Uninvited... when I need a good giggle the wordplay in that one never fails to amuse... its one of the things I really like about Ren, he is a deadly serious sentimental musician one minute - a violent gangster thug the next and then follows it up with cheeky lad...

[@PaulNoble-jb2gq]

he was in a street band, the big push, you can see Ren in his element, check out, wade on the water. Enjoy ❤😊

[@LeeannG]

Your honesty and insight into your actions is super refreshing ❤

[@ChrisLawton66]

1:14 I feel that. I was raised Catholic. Don't feel bad for having that reaction. Abuse from authority figures who represent faith is incredibly difficult to overcome. It says a lot that it shut you down when you so clearly have a strong love of music. Be well. I see some others have suggested "Chall Outlines" and I agree. It's an amazing performance and it will introduce you to Chinchilla, one of Ren's numerous incredibly talented musical cohorts.

[@Oitsugina93]

Alot of mind blowing left in this rabbit hole! Btw, Ren collabs with several other artists with their own great music. Looking forward to your journey❤

[@Lance_Arn]

Wow. Ren is not just a singer, he is a poet and a story teller. A man of the 21st Century.

[@Pascal-the-Rascal]

The intro to Violet's Tale gives me chills every time. His voice, the way his guitar sounds... and tapping on an acoustic...

[@Kram21265]

Well done GA. Back on 74, Bongo Bong, Xbox Marijuana, What You Want, are all fun Ren vid's.

[@williamparrish9954]

Ren got the idea for Jenny tale from a news paper he read about a 14 year old boy that kill a streetwalker with a Knife

[@williamparrish9954]

at the start of Voilet tale Ren does the rewind sound on guitar to show going back in time then later does it forward to come to present time

[@PHOENIXDARKFIRE5000]

I just want to add that you’re sad face at the end of screech”s TALE is so adorable 🥺

[@kylefrandsen2665]

"Jenny's Tale" was released in 2019. "Violet's Tale" is set in 2005 ("two-zero-zero-five" in the song). So yes, Violet was the mother of both 14 year olds. I have to assume they were put into the foster system (dead mother/murderer father/abusive grandparents) and raised separately never knowing they had a twin. Once you realize that Jenny was 14 years old and had "walked the streets... in high heeled shoes... a thousand times before", her life is just that much more tragic. One thing you may have missed is that each of these videos was a live and uncut performance (maybe one cut as he exits the building door in "Violet's Tale" but I'm not sure). After this, you may want to try something a little lighter. Ren doesn't stick to a single genre even within a song. I don't think I've heard country or opera out of him yet, but just about anything else (including fairly classical piano). You may like some of the busking videos with his band The Big Push - probably their cover/mashup of "War Pigs". I'm a lifelong atheist but I appreciate the mythical archetypes of religion and understand that they make for powerful songs. "God" does come up in Ren's songs from time-to-time, but you don't have to worry about him preaching it. He's very much about what people do to each other (good or bad) so he has quite a few that are commentaries on society. I think he believes in a personal god, but not the god of any religion specifically.

[@badwolf1587]

I was in the room by myself, laughing, crying and clapping within 30sec of you starting 👏 ❤️ ♥️ 😂I'm fukin excited for this! Let's go. I hope you get the twist. I'm gonna get out of comments so I can watch 1st. 😂❤

[@tmobas8395]

By the look of it you're doing chalk outlines next 😂. I think you'll love Chinchilla. Looking forward to your Ren journey

[@chguardi]

Awesome reaction, thank you for sharing and being authentic. A year and a half watching people react to Ren still does not get old. It is so fun to see you discover the Reniverse, I can't wait to see your exploration!!!!!

[@williamparrish9954]

at the start of Jenny tale Ren was beatboxing trumpet

[@badwolf1587]

This video has been reported to the proper authorities 😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@haroldyoung8174]

I subbed looking forward to more reactions, hope you find your grove. Really enjoyed your reaction

[@frontfit]

Great reaction and I’m in the camp of trying one of Ren’s more fun tracks as a palate cleanser. Back on 74/Message in a Bottle Retake shows you a whole other side of Ren.

[@Donetravlin]

I feel she deserves Mackay off camera so she can have it on her playlist. I was playing it today, and a humming bird came in for a listen I don't have a feeder and don't normally see them.... it was their for Ren

[@PHOENIXDARKFIRE5000]

Ren has a very unique ability to become the character that he is singing about at the time and to be able to seamlessly switch between characters taking on their voices their facial expressions and also altering his guitar music to suit the mood. 😊 it makes the whole story far more captivating and almost places you at the scene.

[@Prozak63]

Hi Ren was a 6-string also. To understand who Ren is, he has 8 chapters telling his life story. Or watch his video, defining success... 🤣 if you watch videos over and over again of Jimi Hendrix in slow motion, you can be self-taught like Ren is...

[@Doobbie420]

Loved it ❤❤❤. I suggest chalk outlines live version🎉

[@badwolf1587]

HUNGER, THE ILLEST OF OUR TIME, ETC.

[@ozzy7109]

You should be introduced to Chinchilla now... React to "Chalk Outlines" by Ren x Chinchilla

[@MatthewCrain-x7v]

It was awesome how we were covered in your brain matter when you realized Violet, Jenny, and Screech's relationship to each other. Buckle up, you're in for a ride!

[@colinstevens2691]

You need to watch Money Game Part 3 by Ren. An absolute masterpiece

[@Meowziez]

Welcome to the rabbithole!! ❤

[@Slymanno]

It all depends if you want fun Ren, rappy Ren, tug at your heartstrings Ren, street entertainer Ren, story Ren ... or all of the above! I'd personally recommend "What You Want" for a bit of fun ...

[@billinudgelexhaust138]

Another suggestion and a track that has not been covered much by reactors is "Children of the Moon" one of Ren's earlier tracks. A little dark with a load of fun thrown in.

[@Mogel-]

I love how invested you get ^^ It's really cool to see a really genuine reaction, and hearing your perspective on it! I vote for Sick Boi next One tap on the left arrow key goes back 5 seconds! Pretty useful :D

[@Xoxogothicangelxoxo]

Thank you for this! Def. Glad I checked comments before content. I appreciate it.

[@jasonremy1627]

Other people stay in their lane. Ren is out here off-roading. Check out "Chalk Outlines", Ren and Chinchilla, the live video version.

[@carlahelin5203]

Well, I’m super impressed with your honesty in reacting. It’s refreshing. ❤ Live version of “Chalk Outlines” is one to maybe check out next. Illist of our Times and Crutch. Heretic. Oh oh…I love them all!!!! 😂

[@ianrose56]

That's why we call it a Bardcore of tragedy.!! Welcome to Bardcore. ❤❤❤🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧👍👍✌️🙏🙏

[@willbhav]

Gothic Angel, you seem genuine - Love it :) Hope you'll continue to enjoy the rabbit hole with all of us. Cheers from Denmark Edit: As to suggestions? - I love Fisher's retake, it's just fun and so different :)

[@carlahelin5203]

Losing it! Yes, love that one.

[@ericpetty8387]

Be careful. Once you do “chalk outlines”, you will be jumping into the artist chinchilla, too.

[@noelfrancis1908]

You got it correct Jenny and Screech were brothers and sisters, it wasn't Screech's friend that shot him it was the police, remember he said an officer shaken by the boy that he claimed

[@mrmidlife2546]

Glad to know the Ren-egades are rolling out the welcome for a new reactor. From here, I'd go to "Chalk Outlines" but it will open up a second path in this amazing rabbit hole. Ren's sister-in-spirit is Chinchilla and when they sing together, magic happens right in front of you.

[@rodgersmith6891]

Keep up the great work

[@Tokin420]

Chalk outlines the live version

[@ant1010]

Great reaction. Try chalk outlines Ren and Chinchilla beautiful duet live version. Ren is self taught on guitar and piano, he does all sorts of styles as you will discover. On an older track .Dear God ,he kinda makes known his thoughts on religion etc.

[@LauKaMo]

Well, if u rly want to dive into, you should know Ren a bit more. So I would suggest "Troubles". It's the whole story of his life.

[@danielbaker2004]

Welcome to the RENegade club. Need to do the whole Ren catalogue now 😊.

[@louise11854]

hello dear!! yeah, us renegades are a passionate bunch, re our man ren!! lots of us are sick/crazy like our sick boi, and we recognize him as one of our own, and ren does the struggle with such style and class!!! you are a nice young lady, but i still am looking forward to seeing you get mind f'd by ren shortly!! and you didn't disappoint, thanks. kathleen 🙃

[@LemuelSinclairJr]

Awesome job! My favorite songs by Ren are Money Game parts 1, 2, and 3. Can't wait to see you react to them.

[@spruce381]

Stevie is charming, but a nasty piece of work / like his son Screech, who was initially charming to his girlfriend. Violet was silent and scared - defo fright, not flight, like her mum Violet. Have some fun with - what you want, or losing it, or pure pop - Univited. And Marvin Gaye like , back on 74. Hope you love the Cult ❤. Keep reacting 👍😎

[@dougoneill7266]

I would suggest a palate cleanser, Ren is not all this heavy. he has a light side too. With this in mind consider his busking in Brighton with the band he was in, The Big Push. They do a great medley of 'I shot the sheriff/Road to Zion/HipHop. well worth checking out.

[@pointlesslab4179]

Welcome to bardcore. An old tradition updated to tell a story about inter generational violence. More tales being filmed soon. If you want deep you’ve found the right artist.

[@PHOENIXDARKFIRE5000]

I find that music heals. It heals mentally physically spiritually and it’s probably why I listen to about 10 hours of music a day because my health is very poor. I have almost died close to 20 times now half of those times with With the time I was 35 I’m now 51 the first time I almost died I was 12 years old. Battling mental and physical illness And childhood abuse my entire life has surprisingly made me very resilient and strong and has given me an ironclad will;

[@williamparrish9954]

in screech tale when he make phone some think that the reason she busy is because she with Patrick that why he never answer the door

[@ManxThor]

In Hi Ren, he played a 6 string nylon guitar, in Jenny's Tale he changed to a steel 6 string. He plays a Fender Stratocaster in Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla (highly recommended!). If you check out For Joe & Money Game 3 you'll see he's pretty good on the piano too. A very talented all rounder, Ren can write, sing & play - and act too!

[@erichburger1935]

Ren and Renegades are completely different when in wonderland. It's a very wonderful community. Outside of here maybe we're not as much, but inside the reniverse it's pretty positive.

[@TombHermance]

Just subscribed. I’m totally with you in the journey down REN’s rabbit hole. Agnostics unite! I love your vibe! Keep it up - Cheers!

[@spike1976]

Great reaction. "Suicide" is a good one or "Murderer"

[@kellyt5341]

Yep, that will keep the trauma going...😂. J/K.. Maybe a brighter song next. 🤔

[@spike1976]

@kellyt5341 Yes, you're right. Haha. Sorry. They are my favourite reactions 😁😍

[@lynette.]

Jennys tale was prompted by a newspaper story and people saying its such a shame then a few months later came Screeches tale then it was nearly 2 years later he released Violets tale tying it all together. Masterpiece.

[@Codex7777]

Ren himself said the same thing and also highlighted that Jenny was a prostitute.

[@chuckw4947]

Yea!!!! warms my heart to see another bright soul connect to Ren and the amazingly positive community of surrounding souls!!!!❤❤❤ ....after Hi Ren and this rightfully legendary trilogy...I think you need some smiles....While all suggestions are proper, consider checking out "Losing It"..."Power" ....and/or his snarky "Uninvited" for a bit of his humor and overall delightful nature... as you move deeper into the rabbit hole, a must listen is the live "Chalk Outlines"...which, if you don't run into her before, will introduce you to Chinchilla (Ren's acknowledged musical/spiritual sibling).....She is a force, a bright new light of empowerment for women and the individual...and simply an endearingjoyful badass (if you haven't and/or when your ready...check out "Little Girl Gone" "Fingers Live for Hunger-tv" "1:5"....or any other song in her catalog...me thinks you will appreciate her!!) Love Ya Angel!!! ENJOY!!!!

[@fancyclan5679]

In Hi Ren, his religious rant interestingly enough are all various references to the same basic concept of good vs evil

[@papacarl2002]

🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼 Rock On Sister 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼

[@TombHermance]

At 1st I didn’t like the violent nature of this trilogy, but REN is such a great storyteller it’s hard to ignore his brilliance. None of his other videos are as brutal as these. My favourite is Money Game (1-3). Tip: there are two Money Game 2 videos. React to the lyric video - it’s the complete song. Cheers!

[@badwolf1587]

Children of the moon 🌙

[@antiqueinsider]

Certainly the most Goth track in the hole!

[@woodywoodman2319]

This, and Hi Ren, was his own genre called Bardcore... lovingly gifted him by the RENegades! He does them all... singing to rapping, all Genres! Please keep going! Suggest Back on 74, I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop... That version! And basically anything feom him... he has No Bad tracks! Enjoy! 😊

[@aixmhros]

when you meet the funny side of Ren you will fall in love.. the list is emotionaly hard to deal but when he's having fun through tracks, the world is a better place. .

[@williamparrish9954]

you should do the band Ren was in the big push I shot the sheriff/road to Zion/hip hop also u should do Ren and Sam Tompkins Earned it/man world/falling

[@woodywoodman2319]

Love it... Absolutely Love watching new people discover Ren! Buckle up Miss... his rabbit hole is DEEP!!!! Just when ya think ya have him figured out... the very next track proves ya dont! Lol More layers than an onion, more Bars than a prison! Cat does it ALL... Exceptionally Well!!! Enjoy!!! 😊

The Money Game trilogy is gripping as well. I do have to say though, I really appreciated your reaction, youre a very good study of the impact a song can make on someone. Youre absolutely right when you said you shouldve done this a long time ago...Im a sucker for honest reactions so ty chica ❤❤❤

[@Xoxogothicangelxoxo]

Absolutely! I get so invested into the passions in the music and how they speak to me. I hope I get better at my reactions and responses soon. TY!

[@neilfromstan]

Ren played a Cordoba 6 string (nylon) flamenco guitar in Hi Ren. I'm Jenny he plays a 6 string (steel) Taylor. I'm Screech and Violet he goes back to the Cordoba.

[@willeymiller4760]

Your doing great with your reactions just make sure to do these the way you want to and not let any negativity change it after all its your reaction and I like the fact you were open and honest about the first one but I do think you should give it another listen either on cam or not just so you can get the real feel of it. I think your going to be fine just enjoy this rabbit hole Ren has alot of music and it all touches on different topics if you go into each with an open mind and really focus on it like this video you will find your way through them he has a deep message for us all and it is something that is both needed and refreshing at the same time you cant ever put Ren into a box cause you will be wrong I just want him to continue putting it out there for us to hear, ok enough this got longer than I wanted but you gained a new sub cant wait to see your next ones.

[@badwolf1587]

The hunger or Ren & Sam Tompkins - Blind Eyed Ft. Angry Car Park Attendant

[@darrenl3289]

for backing up, if you use the left arrow, it will back up 5 seconds. the J key will back it up 10 seconds. right arrow and L will advance it 5 and 10. Ren covers some very dark, difficult topics with an unblinking, honest voice. If you need something lighter to bring your mood up, he also has plenty of happier tunes. Losing it, I love music 1-4, What you Want?, and plenty more. Also, check out his range of genres by looking at his busking videos with various artists and with his former band The Big Push. Some amazing performances

[@dave.james007]

Nice reaction! you get the twist at the end. you just mixed up Patrik with Richard. Richard was the officer and Patrik his friend. I recommend from REN "Murderer", "Troubles" or "back to 74/message in a bottle retake".

[@Xoxogothicangelxoxo]

Yes!! I went back through and was like "dayum the names got me." 😂😂

[@ThomasWeidner-yt7rg]

You definitely have to watch "Chalk Outlines". And if you love extraordinary quitar skills and music that sucks you in, try "Sultans of Swing" from Dire Straits, especially the "Alchemy Live" version. Its a completely other genre, but I think you will love it.

[@robzie2556]

Great reaction welcome aboard the Ren Express. If you want another trilogy the money game series is a great one or if you want to hear him sing chalk outlines

[@blackpanther3912]

Don't be fooled, the chat sections can get ugly. KZbin has it's own dark side. Best to just ignore the strictly negative comments. KEYBOARD HINT: LEFT arrow rewinds 5 seconds, RIGHT arrow Fast Forwards 5 seconds Ren's following is pretty special, it's a support group on it's own. Nice to have you. We love newcomers to the BardCore Genre! It was so great watching you entirely enraptured in the story. Thanks for sharing!! Animal Flow is a more fun song from Ren, it's really Rap oriented. The Hunger is another good rap rap song (also; sick boi, illest of our time) Anything with Chinchilla will show off his vocal range, chalk outlines is a good starting place. Most importantly, have fun!!!

[@Xoxogothicangelxoxo]

Thank you!

Fun fact for you regarding Rens guitar skills. He's completely self taught using TY tutorials for the most part. I think you're doing a great job with these reactions and the Ren fans rarely steer reactors wrong

[@heba2711]

Great reaction ... loved it. Just a tip: Instead of using the mouse to in big chunks move the time back or forward, you can use the right and left arrows for 5 sec jumps forward or backwards. I find that easier for the small "time-jumps". Edit: Forgot to give you my recommendation for your next Ren: Chalk outlines with Ren X Chinchilla (live)

[@badwolf1587]

Nah, you got it😂😂😂

[@jimkearey7686]

Great reaction, as said in comments about the story. The Ren fans know. For me, the money game trilogy is fantastic.
