Musician/Producer Reacts to "The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full)" by Ren

[@AP-gb3eh]

One of the many reasons I’m a huge Ren fan, (I’m 64 )is that he is awakening the young to being creative- not just stylistic. That it’s him and his creative friends using their skills and environment to create amazing work that attracts 16-80 year olds without industry. They are learning that human talent is better than machine bs. Humanity has taken a backseat to popular culture for way too long

[@cherylmack1260]

I"m so glad you had the same reaction that I did, I'm 68 and I have not had this much interest in a singer in a long time. It is so refreshing to feel this way again. Thank you Ren and thanks to all you wonderful reactionaries.

[@nicolenicolerson5200]

He is a rare gem, for sure.

[@soshie]

Representing the 52 year olds in this parade

[@salishseamermaid]

53. Yep.

[@Van1973Auken]

I'll be 50 this month, and I can't get enough of this guy. His mediocre works in his catalog are still great.

[@staceysmith4868]

I'm 65 and feel the same way as you do about not having this much interest in a singer in a long time. Ren is blowing my life wide open... and I LOVE IT!

[@richwwardrugby]

Watching the jaw drop reaction to the twist at the end reminded me of my own reaction on first seeing this masterpiece. Ren was in school with my daughter and it’s clear from the beginning he was special. He has suffered a lot of adversity in his life so it’s wonderful to see so many people living his artistry. He can leap in and out of any genre, he’s a multi instrumentalist, his lyrics are amazing, he rap and sing at the highest level. Has there ever been anyone like him before? I think he is truly unique and I’m going to say it, he’s a genius. Loving your reactions keep them coming.

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you Rich!

[@alimac1469]

I've lived through a lot of decades, and Ren is a genius, I agree with you. This particular piece is a masterpiece, a compelling commentary on generational violence and inherited traits. This could easily be incorporated into curriculums for study - sociology, psychology, music, film studies etc. It was lovely to read that you knew of him earlier and that he was somebody special ❤

[@blueisback3683]

That pause Ren takes before he goes into the Violet rap gets me every time. Just his face says that Violet's tale hits hard.

[@thedearjohnblog]

"I love this guy's brain." > Couldn't have put it better myself. :)

[@StrateleStudios]

🙂🙂🙂

[@Tom-in6fk]

a few people mention the cough, but one sound they never mention is the bang from when he leans against the wall. I think both sounds are very intentional

[@arklilbro]

I believe everything in a Ren video is intentional

[@justinatest9456]

100% intentional, imo. He's establishing the fact that it is a live performance.

[@StrateleStudios]

Yes! Great point!

[@Cunning.Stunt7]

Bardcore at its finest! (Bardcore is an actual genre here in the uk) it's spot on isn't it!

[@StrateleStudios]

Great term!!!

[@ytnineoj]

the look on your face has been seen many times at the end of this performance.... a sublime twist don't you think?

[@StrateleStudios]

😮

[@docdurdin]

What you saw in Hi Ren, was truly his reality. Misdiagnosed with Lyme disease for 7 years by conventional doctors who deemed him mentally ill, when patients are experiencing neurological symptoms, they very often become misdiagnosed. Lyme disease can present itself as many neurological conditions including Acute Transverse Myelitis[3], Ptosis[4], Seizures, and Chronic Fatigue[1] and these symptoms can be often misdiagnosed or deemed psychosomatic. Second is dealing with the symptoms of Lyme neuroborreliosis, these neurological symptoms often leave patients feeling drained and debilitated as they begin losing their quality of life. Over time, patients find themselves unable to do the things they love as they struggle to get ahead of their progressing symptoms.

[@Tom-in6fk]

Avril Lavigne and Kathleen Hanna (the original riot grrrrl, Bikini Kill) both had their careers derailed from lyme disease

[@docdurdin]

@@Tom-in6fk I did not know that Avril had Lyme. It truly is hell living with multiple illnesses and not knowing.

[@petebrown6356]

We go from "that's terribly dark", to "even darker", to "an absolute tragedy"....only knowing the truth after the very last word is spoken. Genius. ...and Screech's girl was "busy", guess where Patrick was? ;p

[@polyesterspecter]

Wait until you hear his duets with Chinchilla CHALK OUTLINES (LIVE), and HOW TO BE ME (LIVE). Both done live and in one take. He's a genius.

[@ScottDJohnston]

A really fantastic reaction! Ren mentioned during a livestream that he's working on a new two-part Tale! It's not related to Jenny and Screech, but can't wait to see what he has in store.

[@StrateleStudios]

Oh great, can't wait to see/hear it!

[@Lloocii]

There's so many great details in this. My favorite part is in Violet's Tale how when the story is about Violet is escaping or running away the camera moves away and the reverb opens up. And when she's trapped and can't escape the camera is close and the audio is tight. Such a great detail.

[@StrateleStudios]

Nice catch!

[@justinatest9456]

He's a fully self-taught guitar player, he only knows the pentatonic scale as a shape. He knows 'patterns', not scales or intervals, and just works out the parts until they sound good. That's as impressive as it is frustrating to hear. I got by for years with little understanding of theory until very recently, and in hindsight I'm kicking myself. Theory is so helpful, and very enlightening and interesting to learn.

[@TXTrojan]

Saw that in his interview with JHRA. Pretty cool

[@ladonna9938]

His cover of Bongo Bong with his band The Big Push, Humble with Eden Nash, or How To Be Me with Chinchilla ❤

[@TXTrojan]

Songs released in 2019. Jenny and Screech were 14 years old. At the beginning of Violets tale it starts in "Two Zero Zero Five" 2005. The year they were born. I missed that the first time not realizing it went back in time. What is amazing is that he released the video for Violets tale 2 years after Jenny and Screech. Wow...the preplanning putting all of that together.

[@scottrhodes5234]

I read that he wrote the first two based off a news article on a woman getting killed. The its such a shame part was a quote from the police. Violet came about later when he was thinking about how they unded up where they were and really tied it all together.

[@silverash63]

I appreciate the way you react after the video is finished

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you! I do this for all my reactions. 🫶

[@Accolonian]

You are the first one I hear mention the cough. I also think that gives a lot of authenticity to the experience. There is also a vocal error at "She wanted to escape" that would have made a producer go "cut" . But they just continue and it gives you the feeling that you are really there with them.

[@StrateleStudios]

Yes!!!

[@Cunning.Stunt7]

Fantastic reaction 👌 Yessss to Rensday. Thank you 😊

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you!

[@daviddriscoll5056]

I loved your visceral response to this. Your appreciation and understanding were clear to see. Not everyone understands the ending as quickly as you did - well done!

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you David! 😊

[@thehazelinthejane]

"Let's do this again. I'm ready for this ride." Are you sure about that? Kidding, I'll update this comment after I finish the reaction. Edit: RENsday is a fabulous idea! Between your Ren reactions and another reactor I watch (Millennial Meets Music) deciding to implement The Warning Wednesdays I now have a new favorite day of the week! Back to this trilogy of tales now. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you consume these stories. I really enjoy watching people watch things. It sounds very odd to say but it's always interesting to get a different perspective on things, and it is by far more entertaining when you're watching someone that truly appreciates what they're seeing. Somebody who is honestly taking in every bit of it. Just the way I would have. Just the way I did. Also, your appreciation and knowledge of music goes a long way. I will never knock a reactor for doing something like pausing, I think that's silly when people do that, however I would like to point out that I do like the way that you chose to react to these tales. I think it was smart to listen to the whole tale and comment mostly in between. So to reiterate my original question/comment... Were you really ready? Ren has a rather large back catalogue of music to go through, not to mention as of yet unreleased tracks. He had a lot of music already prepared for release when he went to Canada for treatment. I, too, want this guy's brain. There's no such thing as an overnight success as we all know. Ren has worked very very hard for 20+ years to get to this point, through literal blood, sweat, and tears and I am so thankful for his sake that he is finally getting the recognition he deserves. How disappointing if we had all discovered him posthumously. I'm looking forward to the next one!

[@testpattern23]

oh he's excellent...I haven't heard a bad song...everything from bard core like these songs to straight eminem type rapping to duets to reggae with his band The Big Push

[@Hundhammer]

Great reaction, thank you, can't wait for next Rensday! Peace and love from Bavaria!

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you!

[@kehmesis]

That's my favorite reaction to this trilogy so far. Instant sub.

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you!!!

[@douglasdog1]

So incredible, art at its finest. Theres so many details within the performance. Like during Violets Tale, when he rewinds her story he goes up the neck of the guitar, then when he brings the story back to the present, he descends back down on the neck.

[@ericstevens1979]

I watched this whole thing just to see your mouth hit the floor at the end. :) Great reaction man

[@StrateleStudios]

😂😂😂👏👏👏❤️

[@woodywoodman2319]

At 12:24 you see him kinda Shake off what he Knows to be a Heavy story in preparation! Respect!

[@justinatest9456]

That next song that cued up 'Patience - Ren Gill - M.E.' is very recommended. It's not a strong song, but it was recorded at a time when he was just beginning his battles with his illness, and is very illuminating to his journey, and his mindset. Something to keep on the back burner maybe. Another great reaction man.

[@thehazelinthejane]

I actually love that song and I think it's a strong song for all of the reasons you just said. I hope to see more people listen to that song and react to that song.

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you!

[@craigmitchell604]

I will never tire of a reaction from yet another someone who knows much more than I do. Thank you sir. Enjoy the rabbit hole. See you there.

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you!

[@vixendixon6943]

Every time I listen to it I say "I've enjoyed that" then I stop to think the subject matter. Hows and whys come flooding .. He somehow manages to give the message without depressing you. ❤❤❤

Wow…so well put! 👏👏👏

[@candice3559]

He is a genie.

[@clairebishop8676]

Great reaction, you could try I shot the Sheriff,Road to Zion live with Rens band The Big Push, it's stunning 😍

[@hilarycharman-2924]

Yes please

[@MySnottyattaC]

Yes! A Rensday would be awesome. I listen to new songs as for older ones; it's really hard to choose any "special" - just because they're all special. The band "The Big Push" is also so worth while listening to. He and his band mates play both originals and do covers! Or his duets with Chinchilla or Eden Nash. He's just extremely talented, clever & we're lucky he's amongst us! Thank you the reaction: that face....great! Saludos desde Valencia España ✌️

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you!

[@davidrichard1851]

You are one of my favorite reactors, Jeff, because you bring a wonderful skill set and thoughtfulness to your comments and a genuine empathy for the artist and your subs that is unmatched in my experiences. So looking forward to your journey with Ren !

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you for getting what it is that I do! 🫶🫶🫶

[@aimeekeel]

The live busking style version of this is also amazing. Great reaction.

[@lk2275]

Rensday! I love it. Thank you for reacting and sharing your thoughts with us. I am so inspired by Ren and his amazing talents. It's been so long that I have had this much interest in anything. So grateful I found him or he found us and able to connect with like-minded folks. He's a genius.

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you!

Thank you Lee!

[@snakecharm13]

Ren every Wed? You just got my sub. I'm 49... Haven't been this excited about a musical artist in many years.

[@annaspurlock439]

So glad you started this Ren journey! I followed you throughout your journey through Aurora’s catalogue. I find Ren has a similar authenticity to Aurora, though obviously stylistically very different. You should definitely check out Ren’s song Chalk Outlines featuring Chinchilla (the live version). You’ll find with every Ren song you see it will something different! Rap, reggae, ska, rock, ballads, spoken word, pop, anything and everything and always so good!

[@davidrichard1851]

You are so on the mark with this comment ! I have fantasized about a Ren/Aurora colab but understand that is unlikely. They both channel directly to my soul with their art and I love them for that reason.

[@StrateleStudios]

Collab with Ren and Aurora some day?!

[@Silkytoaster]

Love your reaction . Ren is really a unique and special human being. A once in a generation artist .

[@jmm6srac]

We got another one on the hook and down the rabbit hole we go!!

[@johnekare8376]

Great reaction! There is so much great music from Ren. May I suggest Money Game part 1 and 2? (Part 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZprZgqqtnLxnhbs) (Part 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6DRhGyVhq-Vppo)

[@JensRandolff]

Another great reaction and analysis. Ren’s trilogy has been likened to a Shakespearean tragedy and is a prime example of his genius; it is a master’s class in storytelling and really showcases his guitar skills. Ren’s earliest recordings on KZbin are from his time in a band called “Trick The Fox,” consisting of Ren and his buddies Charlie and Tommy. Unfortunately, the band performed only briefly due to Ren’s onset of health issues. They are very talented. A fun clip to watch is “The Mash Up.” Ren’s collaborations with Chinchilla (“Chalk Outlines,” “How to Be Me,” “Sexual Healing,” “One Dance/Drunk in Love”) are beautiful and showcase his singing voice. His live music videos are especially impressive. Ren's personal reflections are threaded through many of his songs; "Insomnia," "Depression," “Diazepam," “Penitence,” “Dear God,” “Heretic,” “Dominos,” his "Freckled Angels" album, just to name a few, all deserve a listen. His song "Money Game" (Part I & II) is another recommendation, although it is less of a personal song than it is an indictment of greed and the resulting injustices in this world. Ren’s Hip Hop/Rap style songs are all worth checking out if you enjoy this genre; they are pretty amazing. Check out “The Hunger,” “Genesis,” “What You Want,” “Losing it (FISHER rap retake),” “Right Here, Right Now (Fatboy Slim one shot retake),” "Life is Funny," “Love Music (Parts 1, 2, and 3),” “Crucify Your Culture,” “Power,” "Hold On," “Bittersweet symphony (The Verve retake),” his recent release "The Illest Of Our Time," and his latest song “Animal Flow,” both the full production and the live acoustic version, just to name a few. Ren's performances with Sam Tompkins (“Blind Eyed,” “Earned It /Mans World / Falling,” “Walking on the Moon/No Diggity,” “Feeling Good/Trouble So High/Masterblaster (Jammin'),” “Latch,” “Wild Thoughts/Crazy in love (Live Session),” “Same Old Situation (Live, feat. Ren),” “Improvising Around Stevie Wonder,” “What Went Wrong” Part I&II) are definitely a must. Also, his collaborations with Eden Nash (“Humble,” “Ocean”), Bibi (“Crutch,” “Ahiahiaoha”), Molly McKinna (“Penitence”), Orlean ("Jessica"), his former bandmate Romain Axisa (“French Song”), are all great. Last but not least, Ren’s busking sessions with Liv Sangster are awesome. I recently discovered that Ren also recorded a cover of “Can't Help Falling In Love (Elvis Cover),” that is simply beautiful. "The Big Push" (Ren Gill, Gorran Kendall, Romain Axisa, and Glen Chambers) busking sessions, concerts, and live recordings all are amazing and well worth checking out. All but the drummer sing lead vocals at times. Ren, Gorran, and Romain all play multiple instruments. Ren plays acoustic, electric, and bass guitar, piano, and drums. Gorran plays acoustic, electric, bass guitar, and harmonica. Romain plays acoustic, electric, bass guitar, ukulele, and piano. They are each incredibly gifted artists, and their solo work is completely different from each other. Well worth checking out. Their covers of "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop," "Wade in the Water/Nina Simone/Trouble so Hard," "Watch Out," “War Pigs,” “Roadhouse Blues,” "My Generation," “Paint It Black,” "An Englishman in New York," “Bongo Bong” are awesome. On “These Boots Are Made For Walking,” “Praise You” (Fatboy Slim Cover), “What Kind Of Woman Is This,” all three take a turn singing. The songs "Oh My Woman," “Swan Song,” “Sweet Little Lady," "It's Alright," “Dignity,” and so many others are equally impressive. I am looking forward to watch you continue down the Ren rabbithole.

[@scramblesish]

He’s the complete package - clever without showing off, telling complex stories with minimal wordplay and doing it all live in one take 😮

[@d2ndborn]

Jenny's tell came from a newspaper article he had read. He added the other 2 later. I remember waiting months for each of them.

Suggest Hunger, Losing it, Chaulk Outlines, Crutch, Life Is Funny, Hold On, Love Story pt3, Bittersweet Symphony, What you Want and Fire, etc.... (Cannot find a bad track! Very few are the same style/genre!) Of Course... Don't miss his band "The Big Push"... I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop, War Pigs and Mansworld!

[@StrateleStudios]

Can't wait!

[@ClearTheRubble7]

Another excellent reaction! When you talked about how he chooses just the right words for his lyrics, I happened to be thinking about the line: "That's the sound of his fists when they fall like a crashing pilot." At first I glossed over it without realizing that an abuser is someone who wants to be in control of other people to hide their own insecurities, and a pilot of course is supposed to be in control of a plane. A bad pilot, however, will bring the whole thing down by f***ing things up. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I've seen enough Ren videos and interviews to know that he intuitively and almost subconsciously knows exactly what he's doing.

[@StrateleStudios]

Love the thoughtful analysis! That's what music is all about...finding connections to make it as impactful as we can. Bravo!

[@duizeltjeeekhoorn6890]

Violet's tale.......that hit's hard. And yes Rensday! I concur with that.

[@justinatest9456]

Violet's Tale is maybe a stronger all around piece than even Hi Ren. Those opening haunting vocals, the brutality of the lyrics and his delivery of them, and the moment he opens Violet's eyes, it's all so strong. Ren really shines a new light on all of the music I used to consider 'great'. And to quote one of the greatest philosophers of our time: "The brighter the light shines, the darker the shadow it casts". He's buried most of the 'classics', entire albums, and indeed entire bands for me. Few individual works by the greats can even stand up for consideration next to these songs. He's special. And when you finally see him speak you'll find him to be very genuine and humble, which is another breath of fresh air in an industry filled with so many duds and dirtbags.

[@Silkytoaster]

Love that idea - Rensday . Just subscribed and looking forward to your other Ren reactions .

[@StephiesCorner]

I love how your mouth dropped open at the twist. Awesome reaction. ❤

[@StrateleStudios]

Totally unexpected 😲

[@kazpwright]

I love watching reactions to Rens music.... 3 months down this rabbit hole. Ren is the gift that keeps on giving. I noticed a comment somewhere else where the writer wrote 'Why do Ren fans feel they have to mention their age?' - for me it's amazing to find a community of ALL ages and I personally have said how old I am (57) cos I can't believe I've become so obsessed with this guy.... but it's not just that - Ren has made me enjoy music again - and . I also love that he knows who he is and stands by it. I'm learning a lot from this young man and we need more of what shines out of him in this world. Already collecting the hardware :)... see ya next week!!

[@walkerig1]

He is next level as you say.

[@juanitapoynter1422]

I have listened and watched this and Rens other songs so many times and they always give me goosebumps . Amazing

[@80summerrae]

Love this reaction Rensday should be a Holliday. Many are catching on to it. He is known to many is a Modern Day Bard. I also like a comment I saw that said “Shakespeare never wrote such a beautiful tragedy as this”. I have seen many of his livestreams on Twitch and he has done a couple interviews with reactors now. He is currently in Canada getting treatment and he loves and appreciates his fans. He still gets emotional when he releases songs during his live stream and he sees just how many people who love everything he does. He is humble. I have heard many many of his songs now that not only just him but also with his band he was in called The Big Push along with his many talents he has brought in. They all adore him also. Deep diving into Ren is an experience and he literally does everything. I have seen hundreds of reactors react to him and it’s a new experience each time. I can’t wait to see more of your reactions to his catalog. You could literally just close your eyes and pick and you will get a new experience and it will be great. ❤

[@StrateleStudios]

Can't wait to see more of Ren's world.

[@morbiouslenoir]

[@manjitu4253]

Sweety x loved this reaction too. Loved how you got underneath the surface and discussed how he pulls us into the stories... we don't just watch...we feel in the story. Ren has a huge vocabulary and draws from his exposure to diverse readings and literature and music genres... this is like the story of 'Everyman'...almost like a parable...we can ponder on the narrator/ minstrel telling us the tales...and every now and then he becomes Screech and Stevie ...and then back to the narrator...these stories help us to see the humanity even underneath even the flawed characters...by the end we can see why Screech is how he was...we can grow and be transformed through these tales... Please do more...'Crutch' is one of his early ones...

[@laluba3603]

Ren is an amazing talent. Im 66 and have not been excited by an artist since i discovered Cohen in the 70s. His storytelling, his timing. The waybhe jumps from narrator to characters is mesmorising. He has an intellectual insightsite not seen for a .ong time. I hope artists all round the world discover his genius and learn something.

[@elcardil]

It's Romeo and Juliet. Straight up, but what an awesome shift. Genius.

[@mldkenny]

Such an amazing skill to make such a tragedy so compelling to watch, a true gem. Chalk Outlines Live with Chinchilla could be a good next one, unless you jump to his band The Big Push doing I Shot The Sheriff /Road to Zion / Hiphop ( not single version ) you will be stunned. Loved your reaction as well.

[@Van1973Auken]

I'm so glad to see people in my age group enjoying Ren. We've witnessed the inception of rap in our lifetimes. The Sugar Hill Gang, Kool Moe Dee, Afrika Bambata to the Beastie Boys to Snoop and Dre to E-40 and to Ren. It's such a fabulous evolution of music, I've loved being a witness to it.

[@davidarmes747]

Hey, you might be surprised to know Ren is entirely self-taught on that guitar. Just a natural doing what he was born to do 🤷🏻‍♀️👏👏👏♥️

So fun to watch someone discover Ren❤I loved your reaction and analysis. Every video you open will be a sweet surprise, he is so diverse and talented. Welcome to the world of Ren🎉

One of the best reactions to this trilogy on KZbin. I should know, I’ve seen them all. :) I know you’ll be inundated with suggestions so I’ll add my weight to How To Be Me (live). It’s a great step into another side of him.

Terrific react. Just terrific. It’s nice when you can just share it with someone. Loved sharing your experience. Thank you ❤

[@Tartarus-xj7du]

Great reaction. I feel with you.

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you my friend!

[@MrMonsterwar]

Your reaction videos are some of the better ones out there. You just seem genuine, not forcing a reaction at all.

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you so much, I appreciate that!

Yep. We all hope “he keeps his health intact”. Thanks I wasn’t disappointed. 👍
