This is arguably the finest work of art created in the modern era. At 58 years old, I assumed my days of finding new music that moved me were over.

How awesome is it that this was even possible. I thought my days of being blown away were over! Now that I discovered ren a few months ago, I’m blown away every day.

[@Silvermachine7]

I am 65 and I too am blown away by Ren. We grew up in an era of some of the most fantastic music, the 60's, 70's and 80's paved the way for the future of music. My main genre was and is Progressive Rock, with the likes of Yes and Pink Floyd etc. They set new and different standards, often mixing classical influences with modern music. Something special went on back then and I have to say I thought it was lost. I never thought we would ever see the likes of those bands and artists ever again, now we have auto tuning and Ai. I am so glad to be able to say that I have been proved wrong, Ren is a once in a generation music/performer genius. I hate to make comparisons but I will anyway. There is one person I feel made the impact I think Ren is about to make on the world and I never thought there would ever be anyone else who would come close and that is David Bowie.

[@StantonMoira]

This track is a masterclass in so many things. Poetry, guitar skills, songwriting, storytelling, direction, diction, acting, filming, the list kinda goes on.

[@karenbliss8719]

I am 60 years old and I’m definitely not into rap. I watch reaction videos almost every evening. I saw where a lot of people were reacting to this video and I just kept skipping over it. I finally watched someone react to it a few weeks ago and I’ve probably watched at least 25-30 other people react to it since which means I’ve heard and seen it a lot! The first time I watched it, I cried. His pure talent is undeniable. I know a song is really good if… 1) it makes me cry or laugh really hard, 2) gives me goose bumps, &/or 3) leaves me absolutely speechless! (Just ask my husband…I talk ALL THE TIME!) 😂 This one really got to me and I cried because I don’t know anyone personally with mental illness (the mental illness part is just how I see this song/video). After about the 3rd or 4th time seeing/hearing it, I could actually make it through the song without crying and I really paid attention to everything going on; the lights, the guitar, his two voices, etc. To me, this was the closest illustration I’ve ever seen showing how someone might feel with a mental illness and I didn’t have a clue at how difficult it must be on the person with the mental illness. This kid’s talent is just totally unbelievable! His writing skills are beyond genius, the theatrics, the guitar playing, everything was so uniquely genius! I too hope he gets all the recognition he deserves. God bless him and thank you for your reaction!!

Hi Karen. Your 3 criteria for a good song, 100% aligns with myself. I love how you have described how/why you like it. I have watched the video, and the reaction videos more times than I can count now. I have shared this song, and much of his music with any one that I know who appreciates a wonderful/talented/raw/honest/beautiful/creative..............................could go on and on...musician/performer. I am still, within myself, trying to find, place, and express all that I feel when hearing this song. I cannot. I do not think that I ever will. I feel like there is no one or even combined adjectives to describe this. Maybe that is the point. Cheers to you. Be well, be safe. Be you, always.

Me too. I'm in the US and I'm the only one who knows who he is except for ONE friend who asked me if I saw this.

[@rorysrail841]

Even when you hear those opening guitar chords you can hear some notes are overplayed, I believe this is on purpose as he is establishing the feeling that something is not quite right. Every aspect of this performance is a work of craftsmanship that is seldom even approached by other artists. Another indication of the genius behind the performance is the fact that it was filmed "Live", and as such comes, so close to the perfection (If not slightly eclipsing Queens Live Aid performance back in '85). Truly I hope Ren reaches the levels that he so richly deserves. D.J. Fat Cat 1989 - 2019 retired.

This is an outpouring of the mind, the bleeding of a heart, the wrenching of the guts, the cry of the soul…..

From an musician's perspective I see this is like a magnum opus from a musical genius. I say like because I don't what else he is capable of and he is still so young. pure fkn genius. His use of dimished is perfection. This combined with the dissonance he creates that signifies the dark side painting a haunting picture with amazing sonic imagery. I knew this was something very very special from the very beginning. Almost like a bard would've done from ye olde times.

Rap is just writing. There’s bad poetry not set to beats for to fill 100 libraries. And then there’s poetry that connects.

Coming of age in the 80’s I perceived rap as being mostly poor quality poetry spoken over sampled beats. Since discovering a select few modern artists I now wish I had paid more attention (though my critic still holds for many rappers). Now, especially, when I find a rapper that puts together their own beats and writes amazing poetry, I eat it up. Ren is one of those but so much more on top of that.

He brings something extra special to the party. REN deserves every accolade available. This tune in particular just blows me away! Thank you REN xx

[@JennyAnton]

I have been watching Ren busking in Brighton for seven years. Enjoy catching up on your Ren journey.

[@leejones1319]

Just truly amazing song on many levels. It is an experience that stays with you and simmers at the depth of your soul. I have been feeling emotions that were locked away and this song has helped me to connect to these hidden shadows.

[@JesseJames7-8-9]

Oh, he’ll get recognized. Might not win a Grammy or see Oprah, but who cares? WE recognize him. He’ll be just fine 🎵

[@SteveWhipp]

He's created a new genre! "Bardcore" not entirely jokingly described it himself 🙂

[@DerekStrong-yb5ok]

I have watched this song over and over. I have followed this guy since he started singing with his band The Big Push and his friend Sam Tomkins. I am 68yrs Old, i remember when the Beatles wrote Help and the reaction people had, how it resonated with them. this, for me, is beyond that. It's a work of genius. It should be owned by the public especially in todays world of mental stress. Wow, well done REN, I FOR ONE BELIEVE IN YOU. Love the reaction.

[@christilehman-starr4428]

Yes, as iconic as the release of the Beatles,but more so because he is a by the people for the people independent which is the power in what he does and a good part of why hi Ren is so powerful. I hear people say they feel heard by this vulnerable bard like they’ve never been before in their life because it’s so relatable. It has the impact of the Beatles with the mental acuity and heaviness of Paul Atreides of Arrakis. This carries with it a beacon that no self serving media corporation promotion could ever equal. It’s a new form. Performance art is the most powerful media on the planet. This genius knows that. Boom

[@IratePuffin]

I’ve watched at least few dozen reactors reacting to this song. I have yet to come across someone who didn’t like this song or at least appreciate the artistry on display. I’ve not even seen a single negative comment. You’ve got to react to his trilogy! Look for all 3 songs in one video on his channel titled “The Tale of Jenny and Screech(FULL). You’ll love it!!!

[@kimzwolinski9919]

I never heard of Ren before this song about a week ago. It’s very interesting to see you react as someone who knew him from other things. I have watched a lot of videos of him busking since then and I think it has to be even more unexpected for you than not knowing anything about him like me. I hope he gets the recognition that he deserves from this 😊 I think Sam is an amazing singer as well ❤

[@djagnew420]

This song randomly came up on my shuffle and I had to find more of Ren. Love all of his stuff now but this is a masterpiece.

[@IkramKahn-ov8fq]

I was waiting on pins and needles for you to react to this. You did not disappoint

[@Finis08]

I really hope the world recognizes this for what it is, which is way more than just music. I haven't felt a song so personally like this in a long time. He is a phenomenal musician and a true artist.

[@cherylwitter5038]

Masterpiece

[@michellepetrillo2235]

Dear Music Junkie: I know I’m late to this reaction but I just had to respond to your reaction. I am a 63 year old grandmother who is a complete “rocker chick”. I have to point out where you were right and wrong in your assessment of Hi Ren. You were wrong when you said ‘this might not be your cup of tea’. I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY at the brilliance of this young man and his masterpiece. I have shared it with many of my friends, neighbors, and coworkers, none of whom (myself included) care for rap music. Everyone has absolutely LOVED this performance. This transcends the genre of ‘rap’, and rather encapsulates something we can all relate to- that struggle between good and evil, happy and sad, sanity and insanity. He is sheer genius, and I am so thankful I came across this song. I can identify with it as I have been struggling as well, and cannot wait to share it with my therapist on my next visit. You are 100% correct when you said he needs recognition for this. I keep hoping that someone starts a petition to the American Grammy Institution to have this included somehow in their next awards, even if they have to make up a category to do it. I love this song so much I am now going through all the reactors seeing it for the first time. I still cry. This is the most brilliant, beautiful, relatable, and genius work of art that I have ever seen/heard in my 63 years. Trust me when I say that I am sharing it far and wide. ❤

[@davideastham]

Welcome to Ren's Musical Theater !

[@Sassyglbeauty]

This is the Mona Lisa, Magnum Opus, it’s such a masterpiece.

[@Hopefulforabetterworld]

I found this guy by accident listened to one song and was totally obsessed listening to everything I could find on KZbin. Now I’m watching reaction videos on him just because I love to read how others feel about Rens music and the KZbin channels reposting him. He is pure genius , his talent is beyond and visually mind blowing ❤

[@inuchan74]

You're the only reactor I've seen so far that was familiar with Ren beforehand and that's really cool! 3 months and Hi Ren is almost to 10 million views. Never seen a video take off like that, especially considering the length and the world's very short attention span. But it is so engrossing that you don't even notice. His last video, Illest of Our Time, dropped 9 days ago and is just about at a million views.

[@stillsearching5184]

I love this song, and I love the responses to it. No one knows how to classify it, but just watching ones hands clench in response. it hits on that visceral level

[@Veeliscious]

Ren calls it Bardcore!

[@JulieAiken]

I've watched dozens of reactions to this song since a friend turned me on to it about a month ago, and yours is the absolute best! Thank you for a great video. Ren HAS become iconic, and it's fantastic that you've seen him live. I hope with every fiber of my being that a) he regains his health, which he seems to be on the way to and b) he gets the recognition he serves, which also seems to be happening. It's a dark time, and he is my ray of hope at the moment. Where there's poetry and music this amazing, there is hope.

[@thefattony2011]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Not only did you get a new subscriber, you put me on REN AND SAM!!! THANK YOU BROTHER!

[@angiedeaver7909]

I keep watching reactions on this, for the past two days. I just can't remember when a work of art made me feel so much. This feels untouchable and unforgettable.

[@TheChristafershawn]

Everybody has been blown away with this tune and others. Dude has a bright future ahead for sure. Cool you got to see him in his early years. Subbed.

[@mattleccese]

Nice to see another realising just how good this masterpiece is 🖤

[@guygowan]

This was a very good watch. Humbling and honest. Thank you. There is a legacy music industry, making outrageous amounts of money safely sitting behind the huge walls of the establishment they created for their own gains. "And the walls came crumbling down" This piece of art, this performance, this performer... Changed the future of music.

[@ScottauchterlonieMusic]

Thanks so much for your comment, I need to revisit this one!! Just so you know I’m not posting on this account anymore and have a new one, would be great if you could support us there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGXZhWOJebmMe6ssi=2h1G9xt3uDfc6C_6

[@jonathanshaw3755]

Definitely iconic. Great reaction brother!

[@AversaS2]

I started watching this in a reaction video and had to stop to find it to listen to it without interruption. I’m now a fan. This was so beyond anything I’ve heard before. The spoken words of it…it’s mind blowing.

[@kellywaller8829]

The other reactions I have seen from this song are all people's first time seeing Ren. It is so refreshing to see someone already familiar with his work amazed with this masterpiece. It's so heartwarming to see that your first time reaction was very close to ours, your mouth still dropped to the floor at the end. I am so excited for Ren's star to rise, and show Sony they made a HUGE mistake dropping him.

[@epicmage82]

This was the first song of his Ive heard. I've been obsessed with it. Pure art, and vulnerability that connects deeply people.

[@ericdamexican]

It's genuinely smart, and should be remembered!!!

[@larae2812]

How fortunate you are to have seen him live. Ren is a great gift and I, too, hope he gets the recognition he so well deserves.

[@toddashworth]

Freaking amazing....loss for words

[@cronixblack6582]

i have been watching reactions to this absolute genius piece of ART and your the first one who actually gets it. Well done.

[@gliebzeit]

Thank you for your reaction and for responding to all of the artistic facets of Ren's performance. Without your guidance, I would not have grasped the significance of his talent. I'm really glad to have subscribed to your channel recently.

[@Tarlain]

Thank you for your reaction. Even though you'd seen him previously, it was fun getting to see you blown away by Hi Ren. I agree with you completely. Ren needs major recognition for this song. It is brilliant in every possible way. Thanks for what you do!

[@jamescurrie7678]

I went over so many different things to say but all I came up with is Thank You ❤

[@claymore609]

Somber, hopeful, clarity.

[@AA-qt1hi]

The first few seconds I was thinking Eminem...but THEN I really started listening with my eyes closed. I have shivers. It's like an audible one man play. There' so much going on that I am ENGAGED with nearly all my senses. My brain is lit listening to him. The flow ...that thing he's doing with his mouth?? The guitar!!! THE GUITAR! I can't deal!!!!

[@laluba3603]

Thank you.❤ Believe me. I Loved it. And I Loved your "jaw-dropped" reaction. In fact, so much that I'm gonna stay here for you two for a while. Thank you agan. A little bit for your😺 , too, miew
