First Time Hearing | REN - Hi Ren (REACTION!!)

[@KurtisB]

Here’s a link to Ren’s “GoFundMe” if you would like to donate! www.gofundme.com/f/ren-get-better-from-lyme-disease-and-autoimmunity

[@kimzwolinski9919]

I first heard this 5 days ago 🤯 I have watched more reactions to it than I can count. I have listened to everything I can find. Love this guy and I haven’t heard anything I don’t like and it’s all very unique. The second song I listened to is Sick Boi. Enjoy the journey 😊❤

[@dianesorensen2549]

Same here. It’s ridiculous how many times I’ve listened to him lately.

[@paulmayon8821]

I've gone down a rabbit hole ,since I first got this a few weeks ago. His story is crazy. And he's a great musician. He graduated a music college in England.

[@tracyrodgers5179]

“We must not forget that we are human beings”. This is a profound acceptance of the fact that human beings have polarity which is inescapable. Without dark, we would never know light. The more we fight the dark, the more elusive the light becomes. The more we push the dark away, the less we can embrace the light, as that light casts very dark shadows. In learning to dance, in my mind,this is REN’s acceptance of the darkness as a necessity to ever knowing light. And he relaxes and accepts. Stops fighting. And it gets easier. He is a torch of light and this song means so much to me I can’t even explain it. This is the type of art that saves lives. Great reaction. Got a new sub outta that.

[@brettpereira4406]

You have to do his trilogy ’Tales’ but they MUST be in sequence. Jenny’s tale Screeches tale Violets tale They are short and I’d strongly recommend doing them back to back in one go

[@travishiland533]

[@lillyvanpug]

I think it's great that a lot more people go into reactions to Ren's music with the background knowledge of his struggle. It just puts the music into a better perspective

[@ikhwanchin2998]

Greetings from Malaysia. We loved you brother..live from Malaysia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

[@colinwhite6904]

"how do we go back to normal from here?"... Best reactor response so far! 😁 Ren - what an epic one to have found!

[@aprilpittiglio5388]

I can relate. I self sabotage myself I'm 54 and suffer high anxiety. My own self doubt has affected my entire life. Pure genius!! I was in tears.

[@vegasviking86]

Knew you'd dig it. What's even more impressive is that this was live take. Dude's a beast. He gives me faith in the future of music

[@ct5625]

Just donated to his gofundme. Everyone reading this, if you've been enjoying the reactions to his music you owe him. I doesn't have to be big, just what you can afford. Skip a couple of coffees or cook instead of ordering in one night, donate that money to Ren instead. Let's show him the KZbin community has got his back and help him out while he's in Canada.

[@PeteFindsObscureStuff]

Great reaction fella!! Welcome to the rabbit hole known as Ren. Buckle up buddy; it's an intensive ride. You won't regret it!!

[@JohnGatesIII]

All of that talent.....and it was done LIVE. If you look closely, you can see his lapel mic on his gown.

[@bikky608]

Ren has changed my life as a person who has herd that voice as you loosen the noose on the rope . i have listened to this song hundreds of times watched hundreds of reactions got to say if it don't give you goosebumps you ain't human .... Ren is our new bard step back Shakespear Ren has landed

[@G02372]

He is spectacular 😎

[@christypriest30]

Ren is pure genius!

[@fredrikcarno2159]

Great reaction, ren has a gofundme going to help with hospital costs in Canada where he is now, go check it out, this music really touches people, one person just donated 1k :)

[@lindseywhiting5110]

I LOVE your reaction x thankyou :-) I only found Hi Ren about a month ago and now have listened repeatedly to everything he has done....How multi talented and unique he is,I'm astounded every time, The World has been waiting for and needing Rens inspiration and words for such a long time.. please check out Jenny's tale then Screeches tale then Violets tale...in that sequence...trilogy....Tremendous xx

[@johnraygun9868]

as jacked up as it may sound, i think his illness may have been a blessing, got him out of the label and now he is blowing up on his own. It was a horrible struggle for him to deal with but he is fighting it and who knows what the outcome would have been if he stayed with a label, we all need to support him and help him gain traction as an independent artist!❤ great reaction!!

[@fourcornersofbrighton]

I understand what you mean. With a contract, he would have been fighting the producers at every turn to make the music the way he wants it. Also, he would be pushed to make their deadlines etc. This way, he can concentrate on his health and his music. His fans will be there for him.

I totally agree 👍Sony are evil 😈

[@tracysmith2130]

Amazing that he performs this live and in one take! Great reaction

[@hmo_mackey]

Live yes, not in one take. Check out the comments in Jonathan Hiller's reaction to this, there Samuel Perry-Falvey who filmed this explains how they did it :)

[@shirleycarter2231]

Great reaction ...... more Ren please ❤

[@gopinhead]

Dude you analyzed this perfectly. You enjoyed it and you got immersed in it. This is a once in a generation song musical whatever you wanna call it. It's a three act play. You got it I appreciate that well done thank you sir.

[@heatherbee3204]

LOVED your heartfelt reaction!! Liked and subscribed 😊 We are all experiencing a once in a lifetime talent. He is a genius, a true REN-aissance man!!😁

[@belindamelville2270]

Amazing Ren, next one? Ren, Jenny & Screech FULL, or it won't make sense...it will blow your mind!!!🙂

Many thanks great reaction love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍

[@brandonhall5615]

@4: 34 - The man himself referred to this as Bardcore. If it is good enough for Ren, it is well good enough for me. But, rap works for me too!

[@scottlaurenson3390]

The world needs more Ren ✌️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@meilaw2877]

Enjoyed your reaction. Ren is an amazing artist..vocalist...rapper...musician..guitarist...lyricist n poet. Check him out rapping..also busking( I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/ hip hop..the one w 5+ million views) to get a sense of his talents. Check out Sick boi...his trilogy Jenny, Screech n Violet...brilliant story telling through music which he termed Bardcore. Enjoy the Ren Rabbit hole as I myself is going down myself.

[@1tommymulligan]

Check out Chalk Lines (Live) after this. Slightly different in style but stunning musically and lyrics covering prescribed drugs and how they effected him Powerful stuff. Its a duet with Chinchilla.

[@azraelcales]

Great to see you finally react to this. Ren really is a great artist. I believe this is absolutely what people need to experience. Especially after everything that's been going on.🤘🔥🤘

[@midniteguardian9803]

Listen to "Money Game 2" by Ren if you wanna understand where his "she sells seashells" reference comes from in this song

[@mrsmith6763]

Its' gonna be a Ren rabbit hole if you should to explore....🤯....enjoy!

[@juliathomas3380]

Top tier reaction! Loved your interpretation! New subscriber!

[@ChrisLawton66]

Great reaction. Liked and subscribed. This song has me all emotional still after seeing at least 50 time. Ren's catalog runs pretty deep from what I've learned in my two weeks of exposure to him. He writes, raps, sings, does his own beats, and he directed and edited this video as well. And clearly he can act as well. A true Renaissance Man.

[@davideastham]

This is a live 'one take'. Ren's amazing !

[@LGDT64]

The she sells sea shells on the sea shore line is from another song of rens money game pt2.

[@AS-ok2ni]

Fast forward 10 months Sickboi is #1 on UK charts! Is definitely an album you should get if you have not already . Hi Ren not on it. This song is year old now. It never going to stop uplifting and giving hope

[@melissatopham4018]

Please react to the FULL Trilogy of the Tale of Jenny and Screech with the 3rd being Violets Tale..in that order.

[@courtneygamz]

Hi there ren It’s been a little while Did you miss me Thought you buried me didn’t you risky Cuz I always come back Deep down you know that Deep down you know I’m always in periphery Ren arnt you pleased to see me It’s been weeks since we spoke bro I know you need me Your the sheep I’m the shepherd Not your place to lead me Not your place to be biting of the hand that feeds me Hi ren I’ve been taking time to be distant I’ve been taking some time to be still I’ve been taking some time to be by myself Since my therapist told me I’m ill I’ve been making some progress lately And I’ve learnt some new coping skills So I haven’t really needed you much man I think we need to just step back and chill Ren you sound more insane than I do You think those doctors are really there to guide you Been through this a million times Your civilian mind is so perfect at always being lied to Ok take another pill boy Drown yourself in the sound of white noise Follow this 10 step program rejoice! All your problems will be gone Fucking dumb boy Nah mate This time it’s different man trust me I feel like things might be falling into place And my musics been kinda doing bits to Like I actually might do something great And when I’m gone mabye I’ll be remembered For doing something special with myself That’s why I don’t think we should talk man Cuz when your with me it never seems to help You think you can amputate me I am you You are me You are I I am we We are one split in two That makes one so you see You’ve gotta kill you if you wanna kill me I’m not left over dinner Im not scraps on the side Oh your music is thriving Delusional guy Where’s your top ten hit Where’s your interview with Oprah Where are your Grammies ren NOWHERE! Yeah but my musics not commercial like that I’ve never chased numbers satistics or stats I never write hooks for the radio They never even play me So why would I concern myself with that But my music is really connecting And the people who find it respect it And for me that’s enough Cuz this life’s been tough So it gives me a purpose I can rest in Man you sound so pretentious Ren your music is so self centred No one wants to hear another song about how much you hate yourself Trust me You should be so lucky Having me inside you to guide you Remind you to manage expectations Provide you perspective That thing you neglected I get it Wanna be a big deal Next Jimi Hendrix Forget it Man it’s not like that Man it’s just like that I’m inside you You twat Nah it’s not man your wrong When I write I belong Let me break the fourth wall by acknowledging this song Ren sits down Has a stroke of genius He wants to write a song that was not done previous A battle with his subconscious Eminem did it Played on guitar Plan B did it! Man your not original You criminal Rip off artist The pinnacle of your success is stealing other people’s material Ren mate we have heard it all before “Oh she sells sea shells on the sea shore” Fuck you I don’t need you I don’t need to hear this Cuz I’m fine by myself I’m a genius And I will be great And I will make waves And I’ll shake up the whole world beneath us That’s right speak your truth Your fucking god complex leaks out of you It’s refreshing to actually hear you say it instead of down play it “Ugh music is all about the creative process and if people can find something to relate to within that than that’s just a bonus” Fuck you Imma fucking kill you ren Well fucking kill me then Let’s fucking have you then Imma do it watch me prove it Who are you to doubt my music Cuz I call the shots I choose if you die Yeah I call the shots and so I choose who survives I’ll tie you up in knots then I’ll lock you inside News flash I was created at the dawn of creation I am temptation I am the snake in Eden I am the reason for treason Beheading all kings I am sin with no rhyme or reason Sun of the morning Lucifer Antichrist Father of lies Mestophilies Truth in a blender Deceitful pretender The banished avenger The righteous surrender When standing in front of my solar eclipse My name is stiched to your lips so see I won’t bow to the will of mortal Feeble and normal You wanna kill me I’m eternal immortal I live in every decision that catalysed chaos That causes division I live inside death The beginning of ends I am you You are me I am you ren! Hi ren I’ve been taking some time to be distant I’ve been taking some time to be still I’ve been taking some time to be by myself And I’ve spent half my life ill But assure as the tide starts turning Just as sure as the night has dawn Just as sure as the rainfall soon runs dry When you stand in the eye of the storm I was made to be tested and twisted I was made to be broken and beat I was made by his hand it’s all part of his plan that I stand on my own two feet And you know me my will is eternal And you know me you’ve met me before Face to face with a beast I’ll rise from the east And I’ll settle on the ocean floor And I go by many names also Some people know me as hope Some people know me as the voice that they hear when they loosen the noose on the rope And you know how I know how I know I’ll prosper Cuz I stand her beside you today I have stood in the flames that cremated my brain And I didn’t once flinch or shake So cower the man I’ve become When I sing from the top of my lungs That I won’t retire I’ll stand in your fire Inspire the weak to be strong And when I am gone I will rise In the music that I left behind Ferocious Persistent Immortal like you We’re a coin with two different sides When I was 17 years old I shouted out into an empty room Into a blank canvas That I would defeat the forces of evil And for the next 10 years of my life I suffered the consequences With illness Autoimmunity And psychosis As I got older I realised that there were no real winners Or no real losers in psychological warfare But there were victims And there were students It wasn’t David verses Goliath It was a pendulum Eternally swaying between the dark and the light And the brighter the light shone The darker the shadow it cast It was never a battle for me to win It was a enternal dance And like a dance The more rigid I became The harder t got The more I cursed my clumsy footsteps The more I suffered And so I got older And I learnt to relax I learnt to soften And that dance got easier It is this eternal dance that separates human beings from Angels From demons From gods And I must not forget We must not forget That we are human beings

[@courtneygamz]

Sorry about some of the mistakes I was on a 12 hour plane journey so there was some mistakes 😂

[@daxmojones9025]

I know it's not an original, but The Big Push (Ren's band) version of Bongo Bong is sooo doop. Give that a try.

[@vegasviking86]

If you want a more normal structured song, Money Game pt.2 is 🔥🔥🔥

[@mabo9352]

Even more incredible is that he did this live and in one take.

[@janetdelgadillo4539]

Not trying to be funny. But if one of the voices in my head tells me I sound crazier than they do. I'm calling my Dr to up my meds quick and let my husband know cause he will have to keep an eye on me til I come back down.

[@johno6294]

He did have a couple of attempts but that is one 1 take and live. I don’t care if you don’t like the song, the guy is a great performer.

[@toddbrown5101]

Dude. I get that as a reactor you have to comment on the video and song but In this case that is just not right. This song was meant to be heard straight thru and then commented on after it ended, By stopping the video at key points you destroyed the entire flow of the song, His message was raw and deserved to be heard uninterrupted. I'm not hating on you I'm just frustrated. Take care and I look forward to more of your reactions.
