Watching Ash's face go from joy and fun to serious staring during Jenny's track is so telling of how masterfully Ren controls the viewer's/listener's emotions.

[@shanemason4031]

You could see the angst on Ash's face, when Violet's tale was playing, you were definitely feeling the song.

[@Q.Q.]

The extraordinarily intense eyes of the boy on the cover of U2's "War" album. Ash's eyes during "Violet's Tale" were exactly like that.

[@williamparrish9954]

Ren has the number 1 album in Uk now there a video of him finding out you should watch it

[@dropbarracuda]

Oh wow... been waiting for this one. And as others have said, our Ren made #1, with the kind congratulations of Rick Astley himself. Good on him, he deserves every bit accolade he receives ❤

[@Stewniverse]

The first reaction ive seen that picked out "lady shaped stalactite" which, for me, is the best line in the song

[@victoriamason8765]

Crutch, Dominoes, Dear God, Depression, Insomnia, Freckled Angels, Penitence ,Do you believe ,Hold on Are all powerful songs by Ren that you have not reacted to yet.

[@alessandromalvasi7768]

Dominoes Is my favourite ren Song. Probably its not a "hit" in that way but to me the song it hits so hard that i can't help but listen to It at least 2-3 times each day.

[@woodywoodman2319]

Also Ready For You, Ocean, Humble and Diazapam.... etc... Basically to me... all his works are top notch!!! I Love his visualizers/lyric Videos!

[@ericdixon7412]

tor me its Hold On its so danceable and yet serious

[@mldkenny]

Great choices.

[@annmason3408]

I love all those songs sooo much ❤

[@Samurai_Stoner]

This is probably my favorite song he's done, just a heartbreaking story told well

[@darrenl3289]

it was sweet that you were able to get some laughs out of your system at the start... cuz wow we all knew there wasn't gonna be laughter afterwards. This one is haunting and tragic. His lyrical poetry throughout these performances are just superlative. Combine that with the planning out of locations to use natural acoustics and the environment for the story, and Ren is truly the master of his own genre of performance art. (notice, all three are one shots)

[@joedunning6973]

The first reactors to spot the banksy :)

[@Sky14318]

Phew. You handled that waaaaay better than I did. Great reaction. ☮️♥️

[@Tarel420]

Money game PT 1,2,3 has to be done all at once lol

[@ryderjohnson1293]

Ren somehow transforms his pain into art. And quite beautifully, full stop. It's so rare that we are able to witness artists like him. From his performances, his musicality, and context within the music..who else actually does this?

[@atwellorama]

Was great to see Ren come in with the NUMBER ONE!

[@michaelbradley7529]

Well, we now know this video was recorded several days ago, knowing Rens album is actually #1 in the UK.

[@GhostWatcher2024]

Uh...yeah..how did you think this worked??? A lot of these reaction channels do a whole week of recordings, then upload them all at the end of the week or over the course of a few days. At the very least, the upload is a couple days after the recording. This aint real time unless you're watching a live stream. Why? Editing...if they're making money on it they want it to look and sound good for you. But even "no script off the rip" has to prep a video for upload...and then have time for the upload. Stop going to a steak house and then pissing about it taking more than 5 minutes to make your meal.

[@rudyb.]

This trilogy of the Tales are my second most favorite of REN’s songs. It’s a masterpiece! It’s Epic indeed! Great reaction btw!

[@gjstone368]

Was holding my breath watching Ash when it got to the third piece… so glad she’s in a place to process it ok… 🤟🏽

[@thepan777]

I thought Ash was about to bite a hole in her lip.................Great reaction - well done you both!

[@Bbowers3428]

First, love the reactions. Thank you for all your content. I love the contrast with you two. Her eyes are beautifully big and her face is full of emotions. You have darts for eyes but I can see the moments hit as well. It’s nice to see

[@deanc486]

Great reaction and feels fresh having not watched the Tales for a good while. Yes the guy in the car in Ren's 'Power' video Samuel Perry Falvey films many of Ren's videos, these included.

[@notDreadful]

John 5's song I'm assuming it's the Noche Acosador song. It's amazing!

[@camillelayonne97]

Everything you said is spot on, great reaction and I've watched a lot of Hi Ren and Jenny and Screech. When you pointed out the guitar at the beginning of Screeches tale the rapid playing reminded me of someone running at a frantic pace to distance himself of what he just did.

[@RyanESmail]

Through interviews of both Ren and Samuel Im confident I can say they just have a genuine symmetry with each other but they are also both huge perfectionists so they will put in every bit of effort need to get that one perfect result. They even said they took a total of 183 takes for one of their videos. I can’t remember if it was Money Game pt. 1 or Genesis

[@tan5taafl]

Y’all are a glorious couple. Thanks for sharing ✌️

[@STILL-KICKIN]

A couple things often over looked (hidden subtext): 1. Jenny was a teenage prostitute, that’s why she was in high heeled shoes and had walked the that street 1000 times before… 2. Screech’s girlfriend and his boy Patrick were cheating on him, that’s why there was no answer at Patrick’s place and his girlfriend was “busy”…

[@jbart4183]

3. and violet is pregnant before she met stevie from the line, "she moved out at sixteen, a semi-detached council flat, paid by welfare scheme" means the government is paying children when they get pregnant. 4. and violet got pregnant by her dad, so jenny and screech dad was their own grandpa from the line, "every night he tucked her tight but never left the room. I spare you with the details, I'm sure her mother knew." Probably explains why Stevie is mad at Violet because he realized the twin's wasn't his, explains the lines Stevie said "why you lying to me violet?" so with no regard to the welfare of the kids, he beats Violet to death.

[@valentijnrozeveld3773]

@@jbart4183 That's a stretch, 16 year olds can also be removed and put in welfare flats when they are abused at home. Why are you lying to me Violet can also be pretending to be asleep. every night he tucked her in and history repeats itself probably means the cycle of violence where victims often seek out relationships that are similar to bad situationships at home. I'm not saying you're wrong I am just saying it's a stretch and there are others explainations.

[@Sky14318]

OMG. Okay, two things: y’all are the first reacters I’ve seen mention “lady shaped stalactite”… and it’s one of my favorite lines. Most of all tho… I just came from your Chinchilla Fingers reactions. I had commented about the levels of emotion in Ash’s eyes while watching that. Seeing your face during Jenny’s Tale makes me worry about whether or not proper warning was given regarding Violets Tale. I don’t know you, obviously. But as a survivor myself, IT. WAS.. ROUGH my first time hearing it. And the 2nd. And the 3rd. Haha. It’s always rough. I think it’s really difficult for most women in general. It’s BRILLIANT and genius and it does so much good to be told. I’ve seen it start some very real and very necessary, needed conversations regarding generational trauma and violence. It raises awareness, certainly. But that doesn’t necessarily make it easier. Anyway, I’m rambling. Just nervous. 🌹

[@rickgiles3633]

Lyrically, instrumentally, Ren is a modern day Amadeus. Absolutely beautiful music.

[@jsspyder24ify]

I’ve probably watched this video 50 times and every time get choked up Rens amazing

[@gurulimbo]

Yes, that is #SamuelPerryFalvey in “Power” driving the car. He is awesome!

[@mrsainsburys1]

Great reaction, unfortunately it is not unreal for lots of people, what an amazing way to portray this message of cyclical abuse, thanks for the reaction, I’ll wear my SB jacket tomorrow 🦉🙏❤️🐊👍

[@nobodynemoq]

Ren is an amazing storyteller. Violet's take sucks you in so well, that you forget about orevious ones and the fact it must be somehow connected - what ends up with listener being caught offguard ❤ And it took me a while before it came to me what Jenny, 14, did in high heels on night streets of London 🙄

[@spencerg8449]

All 3 of these segments were done in one take

[@Silkytoaster]

I love you guys - the energy between you is lovely and your reactions are spot on

[@rodgersmith6891]

It's number 1 on the charts

[@jmango2636]

RENs new album was named the number 1 album in the UK

[@spinalobifida]

I like the term Ren-core. Nice one. I wonder if Patrick went to see the girl Ren called. And thats why she was busy. It was confirmed by Ren that Patrick was with her

[@djfinster83]

Finally get to see this reaction. Best song, video and story by ren for me 👌🏻

[@billi-shakespeare]

Ridiculously late to the party! I think we can officially call it being Ren-rolled now!

[@aceaceington2759]

I love the fact you thought that the girl on the swing was a Banksy lol because I did too, but obviously it's just a copy 🙂

[@spinalobifida]

I seen a picture of a lady's tattoo of the lady in the birdcage

[@kraytosgodofwar431]

Always enjoy Ren, and you two make a great watch it’s a difficult song but I love it

[@phyush355]

That's Sublime 101 he's just imitating their Style of 30 years ago

[@d2ndborn]

Ash your face said it all at the end of Violets tale. Just little plus. the bed he was in was a child's bed that is why it was so small, and this is the same building as Animal Flow

[@stubyles1654]

Ive always questioned if that is a Bansky on the door aswell

[@firefighterchick]

I've never people get their knickers in a twist over comparing musicians and singers. Of course everyone is inspired by other artists they grew up listening to. We are all inspired by someone or something in our lives.

[@spinalobifida]

I seen a picture of a fan of Ren's with a girl in the birdcage tattoo

[@williamparrish9954]

at the start of Jenny tale Ren was beatboxing trumpet

[@idontuseahandle]

I usually sub for the Ren reaction. But this time, for the pre-video comedy chat - a great duo! I haven't been with you until now, but I like what I see!

[@Hello_I_am_Jeff]

It’s been a long time since I saw a great Tales reaction. You guys are great at this and seen most of your Ren videos. Always a treat. Seven Sins - can’t wait to see that one!

[@laurencemayshroom5940]

Ren has always said he loves juxtaposition. Great reaction!

[@OlleStahlberg]

Seems like his bard intros hints what is coming in the story. Also like "the hands of time" sound effect.

[@williamparrish9954]

you may not of caught it but when Ren make phone call she busy because she with Patrick that why he never answer the door

[@dropbarracuda]

I'll be honest, I'm expecting this to be a difficult one, after the reaction to the Bill Burr video about hitting women. This entire series stands as an important work that not only discusses the often taboo topic of DA, but also is capable of drawing the listener in and MAKING them experience of what he's performing, because in most cases people don't consider the gravity of the subject. Many survivors of DA have spoken up about how important it is to them to bring this to the table, and that many say they 'felt seen' again. Reading through the many comments of many reactors to this trilogy, you'll find incredible stories of healing, connection, and growth of people from all demographics, ages, and sexes due to the Tales. Ren is truly a phenomenon.

[@TwistedSisler]

Huge congrats to Ren for doing the unthinkable and getting #1 in the UK! I actually saw Rick Astly's congratulations video to Ren and it was super heartwarming.

[@TinaGregory-qv3dt]

Love these songs

[@dukecunning7046]

This is a VERY SAD tale; But, what I LOVE the MOST about "The Tale of Jenny and Screech" is that in the end it points out that Jenny and Screech were siblings. Christ teaches us that we all brothers and sisters. That we are divine spiritual beings in mortal bodies. We should treat each other as such. Jenny and Screech grew up in the foster system so that they didn't know they were siblings. But, if were taught like we should be taught that we are ALL BROTHER and SISTERS! That is the way we should ALL treat each other! This is what I like about this song. Hopefully, one day we will all know this. 🙂❤🙏

[@mhandanunnerybosarge1690]

Jenny's Tale and Screech's Tale were written 2 years before Ren wrote Violet's Tale. The 1st two were of course amazing, but hearing Violet's Tale just sucks you in and you can almost feel every single knock and punch.

[@TanyaQueen182]

Violets tale talks about what I consider to be some of the darkest topics that exist. Thank God for Ren for not being afraid to talk about it.

[@k-town873]

I've said it before: he's Ren Night Shyamalan

[@roryoconnor7239]

Holy shit man. that girl is in love with you. There's a way a woman looks at a man when she is in love that leaves her completely exposed. Nothing can be hidden on that face when she looks that look. And bro that is how she looks at you. God I love that look. Don't take that look for granted bro. That look would literally do anything for you.

[@robingayle68]

#1 Rick Astley was Ren rolled!

[@McLeod2022]

Ash on the channel is fantastic... and Fk'em who b!tch about banter. It's a GD react vid. Talk all ja need. You both bring a fantastic vibe. Cheers.

I triple dog dare you to watch the American Idol winner Iam Tongi with James Blunt. A high schooler who lost his dad and sings "Monsters" is James blunt who originally wrote it. 👃

[@billi-shakespeare]

Well spotted on the fake Banksy! we did have the original “kissing coppers” just up the road from where Ren filmed this but it was bought by an art collector and the piece of wall was removed. (bit of useless info for you) ❤

When the guy say show off, its funny cause make me think ur a cute guy when react to it😂

Notice how silent Jenny was in the first track. History tends to repeat itself. Just like her mother she never knew. Thought-provoking to say the least.

also you guys know for each of these videos were done live and done as 1 take aswell

he beat rick rolled

[@ericpetty8387]

Clarify something for us in the States. I’ve heard people comment that they did not think the police in the UK carried weapons. I was of that opinion also. Is that incorrect?

[@serendipitish]

Most ordinary police on the street do not carry guns. But there are armed response units, and that's who they might send out in response to a murder on the street like Jenny's.

[@Kipperbob]

I guess Rick got rolled by Ren, No 1 album in the UK.

[@Hailme75]

I can say something about Ren that I can’t say about any other artist or band. Not even my favorites (he’s jumped into that list) not one song that I hit next on, not one song I don’t like.

Nope Rick Got REN Rolled .! And didn't have a record label publicists radio manager premonition team

If you look at the bed that Ren is laying in at the beginning of Violet's Tale you'll notice you can see the legs of the bed floating in the air. They're not touching the ground because Ren accidentally ordered a child's bed that's low to the ground and since they didn't have time to exchange it through Amazon they had to prop the bed up on crates haha
