Haha Sometimes rabbit holes are annoying, but I'm legit excited for this one.

That was a genuine reaction. That moment when you see her eyes reflect the emotional tsunami can not be faked. Welcome to the RENvolution❤

Yeah, it got me. Right in the heart. Cheers!

[@MichaelCRush]

Great reaction! Now RUN, don't walk, to do The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)... More guitar, more story--it's gonna blow your mind.

[@KoalityReactions]

Oh my god, can’t wait! Thank you!!

[@burner3200]

The Jenny and schreech trilogy is amazing!

[@SeanWorlock]

Getting the lyrics is generally good with Ren's content as his words can be hard to follow at times and the captions are laughably wrong. But..... In the case of the Jenny/Screech tales go in blind or at least don't read ahead... this is really important!!!

[@supertuscans9512]

For God’s sake make sure you watch them in the right order: Jenny’s tale Screeche’s tale Violets tale. You also need to do them as one single video.

[@alrounder8025]

I go around watching countless reaction videos to Ren's content. I just love watching people's faces and seeing how they are affected by the twists and turns of the song and what emotions it brings up from them. From that standpoint, this was enjoyable to watch since your in-the-moment reactions were expressive and you did get emotional watching this. I recommend reacting to the song called Su!cIde by Ren next

[@KoalityReactions]

Thank you, that’s a lovely compliment! Can’t wait to watch more of Ren’s stuff. So glad I found his music!

[@jerzyjurekg1457]

If you really want to get to know Ren more you have to listen to 'Sick Boy' and 'Power'. Very personal lyrics. For the story telling - 'Jenny and Screech' trilogy. The last part 'Violet's tale' is on another level. Masterpiece x

[@KoalityReactions]

Yessss, Jenny and Screech and Violet's Tale have been recommended! Very excited. Will def listen to the others as well.

[@DanBeaird]

@@KoalityReactions If I may I would suggest doing "The Tail of Jenny and Screech - FULL" in encompasses all three short stories into a trilogy. Ren put them all into a single video so you don't get them in the incorrect order.

[@KoalityReactions]

@@DanBeaird Yes! This was highly recommended so definitely doing it in the next batch. Can’t wait!

[@thgeremilrivera-thorsen9556]

This is the way. After Jenny & Screech, take a look at Sick Boi which looks at his struggle from a different angle - then either segue into some of the more fun rap stuff such as Power, Losing It out The Hunger, or the two super soulful duets with Chinchilla.

[@Sunshine-yp7km]

Ren is the most original artist at the moment I think. He is absolutely amazing! ❤❤❤

Glad you got to hear this. This helped many people through tough times because of the impactful statement this song makes

[@KoalityReactions]

Totally understand why. Loved the message. 🤍

[@DarrellW_UK]

This is just so dark but relatable to! I can relate to this because I’ve had Fibromyalgia for nearly 20 years now but only got a firm diagnosis 3 years ago! Anxiety and depression was terrible but I eventually realised that although my thoughts told me I was dying I wasn’t, after all the time I was like it I was still alive and kicking! During this long time I was given strong painkillers which didn’t work! It got to the point where the only place to go for pain relief was Fentanyl! I was lucky to realise that regardless of how strong they were they wouldn’t work so I went to my Doctor and told him I wanted to get off painkillers! He agreed with me and told me that he would help and also insist that the Pain clinic got me a formal diagnosis. It took me nearly 2 years to get off the painkillers, and get my formal diagnosis, now I can live with minimal medication and very little problems with anxiety and depression. Life goes on…… Nice reaction and comments, one of the best interpretations I’ve seen, you really got it how it was 🌹🌹🌹

[@KoalityReactions]

Awe thank you Darrell! I definitely feel like this message is super relatable. I’m so sorry you had to deal with undiagnosed pain for so long, and the complications that come with that. 🤍 But I’m glad they finally got the right diagnosis and were able to help you.

[@JoelMyaer]

New sub here, I'm here for any and all Ren reactions. As a 53 year old music lover my whole life, Ren has reconfigured my mind for the better and REN-EWED my heart & soul by making me really hear music for the 1st time in my life! Great reaction! 😊 what an amazing journey awaits you if continue with Ren's music.

[@KoalityReactions]

Awwwe I love this. Art is so powerful, and I'm happy that Ren is reaching people like that... especially because it's clear (just from this one song I listened to) that that's his goal. Amazing!

[@PoliticallyPink]

Ren is the most impactful musician I've known in my lifetime, & I'm no spring chicken. I listen almost exclusively to Ren these days because he has such a broad range of talent. He does every genre, then invents new ones. I look forward to your next Ren reaction!

[@KoalityReactions]

Yeah, I can't wait to see what else he has to offer. I hear it'll be quite the ride. Cheers!

[@perpetual_muse]

This was another one I've not heard, and I liked your reaction to this one a lot better too! The song's very unique and probably connects deeply with a lot of people too. I often love just one person and an acoustic guitar, though this song stood out much more lyrically and visually than anything else, which I wasn't expecting. He did manage to get some interesting sounds out of that classical guitar!

[@KoalityReactions]

Same! It was a very simple but impactful video. Loved the concept.

[@MMacAttack]

The visual is so incredible, the lighting , the Two shadows on the floor and at the end when he rises his one tall shadow. The last note also …. Like the battles not over. What a masterpiece. I’ve listened to Hi Ren endlessly, watched tons of reactions Ren is a true talent

[@im2yz4u17]

You can use the left arrow key to shift the video backwards when you comment. The space bar will stop and start with no break. Great reaction to Ren. You have stumbled onto one of the most unique and vibrant artists you can imagine. His community of fans are fanatical. I hope to see more of your reactions in the future.

[@KoalityReactions]

Unfortunately I repel technology and even when I use the spacebar the video buffers. But someone else mentioned the arrow keys so I'm using those now - much easier! Thanks so much.

[@richwwardrugby]

What a lovely, natural and heartfelt reaction. Welcome to the absolute rollercoaster ride that is Ren. I advise you to look into his backstory as it clarifies a great deal regarding his journey. Dive deep into his music, his collaborations, his band The Big Push, his covers but especially his own original work. He is in my humble opinion a musical genius. Strap in and enjoy the ride. 😊

[@KoalityReactions]

I can already tell I'm going to enjoy this ride! Can't wait.

[@wopaah]

If you can think and speak normally after watching Hi Ren for the first time, there's something wrong with you. I think you're also going to love Ren's duets with Chinchilla (another great artist you may not have heard of): 'Chalk Outlines' and 'How To Be Me' (watch the 'live' versions), and as someone else already told you, the Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full Version!) is another 'experience'.

[@KoalityReactions]

Hahaha well I never claimed there wasn’t something wrong with me! ;) Maybe that’s why I connect with Ren’s music so much?! Hah Thanks for the recs! Never heard of Chinchilla (but I love the animal so very excited to listen). On the list!

I suspect @JensRandolff will be along shortly to drop his post in about Ren's history so I won't comment on that but I will point out that the vid you watched was a live 1 take (best of 4 attempts) using 3 static camaras and a hand held. Keep that in mind when you watch Ren's content as he likes to produce stuff that way. Also Ren produces/plays/writes everything. The two major influences on Ren are his illness issues and the suicide of his friend Joe when Ren was 21ish. Finally do ensure you do the complete Jenny/Screech/Violet Tale which is approx one 15min vid

[@KoalityReactions]

Wow! That’s insane. As an actor/director I know how tough a one take shot can be, so this is actually incredible. I love that he writes & produces everything! Definition of a true artist, in all forms.

Hi. In my opinion, it is great to rewind a few seconds when you pause to react. it helps with getting back into the flow. Also great that you didn't bother with captions. they don't mix well with Ren at all. Not only are they confusing but they give punchlines away and in some of Ren's work this is crucial. leave the timing and punchlines to Ren, not captions. "I don't know what's happening right now" That's ok, Ren is happening🙂 Loved your reaction, by the way, it was well worth a like and subscribe from me. So, welcome to Renworld, Bardcore. This lad is one of the most interesting and engaging artists that it has been my pleasure to bump into in my 60 years. his fan base is growing and is very diverse in it's make up. all of us it seems to me are mostly helpful and supportive of each other and it has been really pleasing to interact with almost all of the ones I've encountered. Good luck with your channel. be yourself and you'll be great, don't go chasing likes.

Also, follow his journey. He was misdiagnosed for nearly a decade while Lyme disease ran rampant through his body. Doctors diagnosed him with ME/CFS and dosed him with psychotropic meds that he didn't need while refusing to take his pain seriously. They tried to convince him it was all in his head and treated him as an attention seeker. They denied him retesting and the hallucinations and delusions he was having only reinforced their convictions that it was all mental illness. He suffered a psychotic break due to their brushing off his needs. He was finally diagnosed properly with lyme disease and got stem cell transplants and is receiving other treatment in Canada. However, the damage the lyme disease caused to his brain and nerve sheaths may be permanent. His courage and intellect and utter motivation is amazing. Only exceeded by his love and loyalty. His talent is unmitigated and unmatched and is growing every day as he pushes his own boundaries and widens his already immense capacity. His goals to also wake the world up and open our eyes about greed and politics and the damage it does. He's succeeding. Seriously, though, watch him. He's going to wake up the world, and we can only hope it isn't too late. There's a reason he's blowing up all over the internet! ❤

One of the most creative artists to come along in decades. If you want to see a counterpoint to this 'raw' piece, but also with the emotional content, take a reaction to his song "Su!cide"...... illustrates not only his songwriting/performance, but his engineering/production skills.

[@tyghe_bright]

This performance speaks deeply to so many people, but especially to anyone who has had serious (physical as well as mental health struggles) and to anyone involved in creative expression. Ren struggled for many years with pain and fatigue from Lyme disease that was mis-diagnosed and given the wrong medications. This led to psychosis, on top of pre-existing mental health struggles. He's getting reparative therapy in Canada right now, but it takes several months of being focused on the treatments.

Ren is therapy for so many from one song he helps so many people open up in ways therapists struggle to do in person. First time i watched Hi Ren i had a panic attack but thought i needed to watch it again so i watched someone reacting to it that was the best thing i could do i have watched many times since. One thing i think about this song is it needs to be seen by every one even in schools after a certain age, because how many children kill themselves because of the negativity towards them from nasty comments and bullying to them believing what is said. I went through hell, bullied all through school to the point i attempted suicide twice, and to many issues in my life since then I am a recovering alcoholic 11 years clean I suffer PTSD and other health issues so the majority of bad days over good is high, if this bullying had been dealt with i may have had a reasonable life not the existence i have to deal with now

[@baronr999]

Nothing wrong with you. Ren just has a way of connecting with your emotions. He shares his life and struggles. He definitely helps so many of us connect and not feel as alone. As someone that battles with the mental darkness, listening to Ren and watching others like yourself react to him, makes me feel more connected. You can watch other’s reactions and be like, “ yes, they get it too”. I am a huge Ren fan but it’s been a while since I watched a reaction to his Hi Ren video. Thank you for your reaction. You have at least one new follower now. Enjoy the ride and welcome to a whole new community. ❤

This is the kind of artistry that gives "broken" people hope. Ren, through this performance piece, has become to a lot of people exactly what he stated in the song, "...the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope". So powerful, so impactful. The song structure itself is incredible. It starts off as a battle between his positive (Angel) and negative (Demon) aspects, the negative then makes an overpowering last ditch effort to reign supreme, tearing free and trying to take control, but ultimately fails as the final act, being the "God" aspect, emerges Triumphant, though still acknowledging and accepting that it will ALWAYS be a battle because we are all "a coin with 2 different sides". It's a beautifully cathartic and raw musical masterpiece. Ren is truly special. Welcome to the Ren rabbit-hole, it's a trip worth taking. This was the 4th take he did and yes, it was done live. Wait until you hear some of his other stuff, especially his storytelling ("The Tale of Jenny & Screech"). You haven't even touched the breadth of this young man's talent yet. The pig character (imo) represents the doctors and therapist who have essentially butchered him for years through their misdiagnosis. It's the system that focuses on peddling more pills than on genuinely trying to help to fix broken/ill people, caring more about profit than individual health. The bastardization of the hippocratic oath. He literally thought he was going insane because he was told repeatedly that the pain and symptoms he was experiencing were all in his head (psychosomatic). He had reached a point where he literally resigned himself to dying before he reached 30. Turns out he had Lyme's disease the whole time and it ran rampant through his system for 10 years, even to the point of causing brain damage. Ironically, if Ren hadn't gone through what he has, would he have ever made the art he has? There's no question that his suffering has shaped his music and now he's finally getting the recognition he undoubtedly deserves. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Ren is special.

Ren is addicting so Lock yourself in and Enjoy the Ride.

[@KoalityReactions]

Haha Thanks!!

[@jeffreyfouty5165]

Love your reaction. Honest and open….I think a lot of us enjoy watching the first time because we remember our first time with something that affects most of us, right to our soul. He’s an amazing artist and as original as they come. What a gift❤️

[@Pablopax4]

Possibly your new favourite artist but beware, he can make you cry sometimes.

[@KoalityReactions]

Hahaha I cry at maaaany art forms, so I don’t doubt this at all.

[@mburkitt7678]

The simplicity of the set emphasizes the importance of the story being told above anything else that is going on around it.

[@PhoenixWoody]

Awesome Reaction! During the guitar intro I felt as if two different people were playing! The lights flickering when bad Ren was singing... and then the final part where they were BOTH playing and singing and the lights were flickering. So much going on in there!

[@chris6770]

Ren's an inspiration, not a bad song in his decade long catalogue. He's reaching so many people this year. His storytelling genre we call Bardcore. Watch the full thirteen minute 'Tale Of Jenny & Screech' (three videos including 'Violets Tale') to see what I mean. Then try some of his street performances with his old band The Big Push, such as ' I Shot The Sheriff mashup', then some of his rap like Genesis, The Hunger, Losing It. Plus dozens more like Why My Woman, Bongo Bong, Sick Boi, the list is huge. Welcome to the Reniverse 😊

[@KoalityReactions]

My list is so long, I have a bunch of these on there already. Can't wait - thank you!

[@stan5409]

Scroll through KZbin and you'll see so many reviews of this song by MDs, Psychologists, singers, voice coaches, and even a Neurologist. NOT ONE was left unaffected or dry-eyed. I'm a 74 yr. old man who has watched this 20 times and still tears up at the end. Ren has been bedridden for 1/2 of his life and still needs daily treatments at the hospital after his stem cell transplant. This song is a true reenactment of what Ren has gone through and still struggles with although he's come a long way in his fight to get well.

[@jonathankall3062]

I’m so glad I ran across your channel in watching REN’s ART! I think we all felt exactly how you did the first time we heard this!! Rent is a genius, an artist, a performer, a musician, and as you come to find out one of the most humble and big hearted people on the planet!! he’s truly a once, in a generation, musical, lyrical artist. He plays every genre of music at the masters level. He plays every instrument at the masters level. He sings, he raps he produces he reaches on beats. You can see how good he is at the performing arts…. His music has lyrics. They’re all substance, and he is all about affecting the world in a positive way.! I’ve listen to most of his catalog hello stuff seems to come out of the woodwork deeper I go, and I have not heard one song that wasn’t a piece of art like good like really good!! I’m sure people have suggested the next songs for you to watch such as chalk outline’s, the Tale of Jenny and screech, but I’d like to recommend you watch one of my personal favorites, and I have a hunch you’ll love it as well, … a masterpiece call “Dominos”. 🔥🔥 I really really enjoyed watching you react as you’ve got such a fantastic personality and the Looks and the intelligence all put together ! I can see why you’d be a fantastic actress! Looking forward to more! 💯‼️🔥🔥

[@karlbecker8775]

Thank you for Giving Ren the time. The man is otherworldly with his artistic ability! New sub here.

[@KoalityReactions]

Totally agree. So glad I found him! Truly.

[@nathancrutchfield1169]

Its crazy your second rection ever was this song. This song is so huge and you found it he speaks what others wont say and he did so this song is Iconic and will stand in History and you reacted to it so awesome.

[@bettylocks9753]

It's a lot! I know! But SO incredibly beautiful! Ren truly is a music/lyrical genius! This 100% is art and I will gladly go to war with anyone else who contradicts that! ❤❤

[@Edde0425]

Loved this reaction and song. Ren is amazing...Just a little tip that you can hit the back arrow on your keyboard and go back 5 seconds each click. Thanks for the great reaction :)

[@4arrows4all]

Yeah I felt this with you like it was MY first time. Not all reactors make me re-experience it. Thanks for that and I hope you keep reacting to more music :)

[@KoalityReactions]

Wow, that's a compliment Thanks so much.

[@minneyruth]

Ren, will see this ❤ there's nobody like Ren ❤

[@KoalityReactions]

I believe you. Unique and incredible.

[@scottm2649]

Subbed. Great reaction. I'm not sure if someone posted this or not, but when Ren was younger he was bitten by a tick and contracted Lyme disease. He suffered for years and all the doctors kept telling him it was in his mind and were treating him for mental illness. He was bedridden for most of the day. Because it took so long for a doctor to finally diagnose him the damage was done to his body and his mind. He is still undergoing stem cell treatment in Canada the last I heard and is getting better but won't be the same. This explains the monologue he had at the end stating he had illness and psychosis. He has a rightfully so distrust of the medical system that caused him pain for so many years as evident in his song sick boi. He is a really nice guy who has stated over and over again that if any reaction channel gets a copyright strike he will have it removed. He is just so thankful that after years of producing music, he finally blew up with this song.

[@sunshynff]

Great reaction, welcome to the biggest rabbit hole of music you'll ever have the pleasure to journey down. You mentioned really liking the lines like... "maybe I'll be remembered, for doing something special with myself" and "When I am gone, I will rise in the music I leave behind". I'm sure by now you know a little bit about his past health issues, being misdiagnosed with chronic pain due to psychosis, and after 7-8yrs finding out it was actually Lyme Disease. For a few of those years, he was in bed for 23hrs a day, and just standing in the shower caused agonizing pain. He honestly thought that he would never in a million years make it to the age of 30. So while he found treatment and is doing much better, he was still not out of the woods completely when he wrote this song, and those lines stem from his belief at one time he would not be on this earth much longer, and that fact still is what drives him, every moment that his health is not getting in his way, to make the most of every minute. I'm sure you are getting bombarded with songs/videos you "must do first" or "have to see to understand Ren"...lol. The Ren-aissance fans are very passionate and loyal, to a fault, but don't feel too pressured or overwhelmed, no matter what order or which genre's you choose to follow, you will not be disappointed, Other than doing any trilogy songs like Jenny n Screech in chronological order for story cohesion, whatever songs peek your interest, go for it, and he has a HUGE catalog for a 33yr old, who was bed ridden for 4-5yrs in his 20s!! Cheers!! ✌️💚

[@peterveste6976]

Ren has a great back catalogue he also played with a band big push there song bongo bong is one of my favourites I have followed Ren for years he is my favourite artist ever, thank you for reacting to this masterpiece ❤❤❤❤

[@davidmorris3914]

I cry every time I hear the line " I'm the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope"

[@candybanks8717]

It's like he read you his diary and it sounded suspiciously like your own.

[@KoalityReactions]

Oh my gosh, YES. Exactly this!

[@lpucci]

just remember this was a one take performance which makes it even more impressive

[@robertovasquez1538]

Don't worry, nobody knows what happened the first time we saw this video. It's just Ren and his powerful music. Thanks God we can enjoy this journey and thanks to you for this reaction and your sensitivity!

[@KoalityReactions]

Glad I'm not alone! Hah! Thanks so much.

[@Rob-bt3ev]

Subbed based on this reaction - Ren is the most exciting artist I have seen in years and worth going down the rabbit hole especially as you'll discover a lot of other amazing artists he collaborates with

[@jgreen2015]

Great reaction :) Regarding pausing - yes always rewind a little. It's not annoying. It help get back into the flow and if a thing is annoying when people don't rewind and just resume halfway through a line Also I think it's great that you didnt pause a lot. I get the temptation to have to pause to say something and sometimes that's appropriate. But for media like this it's nice to watch someone go through the journey uninterrupted and just experience it rather than keep stopping and starting every line

[@shannonkrause983]

I have watched at least 20 reactions to this video and you had the best comments and I loved your purity in your reaction. 💚🙏

[@Jillightful1]

I love that you keep saying "I don't know what's happening". It's like some sort of psychedelic experience rewiring our brains.

[@root6302]

Ren is our Shakespeare 🖤

[@PabloRichardFernandez]

I think we all appreciate a short rewind... it always helps get back into the flow and the rhythm. As for what was happening? You were having an honest emotional reaction to a brilliant piece of art. I know, a rare thing these days, isn't it?
