Yes Jenny was a working girl at 14. She wore blush on her cheeks and high heeled shoes. She walked that street a thousand times before. And death was her only escape from that abusive life she was living. It’s heart wrenching when you realize she was just a girl and her twin brother murders her in a botched robbery. Both her and her mother were silent/ still. And Screech was violent similar to his father and grandfather.

[@teckreactions]

I see it now!

[@gcarap]

Actually Screech's father and grandfather was the same person.

2005, the year Jenny and Screech were born. Jenny's tale came out in 2019, when the twins were 14.

[@teckreactions]

Makes sense

[@leet9181]

The only "hint" in retrospect is the "intuition of danger" Jenny had. Similar to how twins, even ones separated at birth claim to experience.

[@TheDoctorFlay]

This is probably the best example of "Bardcore" which is the term Ren uses for his stories. He is indeed writing modern folk tales, and his gift for presenting it as a wandering minstrel suit the genre very well.

[@teckreactions]

I freakin’ love it.

[@tenshimoon]

It's funny because there's already a genre called bardcore that's already been established before Ren started calling his folk tales that, but yeah I guess you could say his folksy songs are like modern-day bard music.

[@amyaeschbach3581]

Like the midevil roaming from town to town telling stories to entertain or to impart morals. Ren is well educated, intelligent, and so well versed in the English language, literature and a genius lyricist! He’s completely an independent artist who shot all of these early videos in various locations found, a basement, friends apartment etc with very little money. His friend Samuel is amazing videographer and most are live straight through. Theatrically talented and exceeds in many many genres! Beginning by busking on the streets or Brighten originally from Wales. Was sign to do an albulm with Sony early on but pulled out when struck with illness. The end of last year he released a rap album Sick Boi that went to number 1 on billboard and iTunes! I assume listeners have filled you in on his illness story after u viewed Hi Ren. If not It I will. It is essential to understanding Ren as a person and artist. You do an amazing job breaking down music! Only a few I’ve seen caught him rewinding the hands of time on his guitar! Please was Suicide and enjoy the incredible performance of Ren and The Big Push live busking of I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/hip Hop!

[@Bleeglesplotch]

Still chokes me up every time when I hear his voice break when he says "turning to the doctor Violet broke her silence and she cried". Super normal to end up teary eyed when you listen to this trilogy. Looking forward to more Ren reactions!

[@teckreactions]

Thank you! ❤

[@JimmyWallace284]

You’re really good at this - I really like your musical analysis. Ren is the most creative artist I’ve come across in a long time. He has some light hearted songs as well- be sure to check out the band he was in called The Big Push.

Ren is a great story teller and musician. He has gone through much. His “songs” capture us all and move our emotions and thoughts down the path. Your reaction was awesome. I like your analysis of the chords he employs.

[@teckreactions]

Thanks for listening

[@iamlpinthe312]

I’ve seen this well over 100 times and I cried with you. Ren wrote Screech’s Tale about a year after Jenny’s Tale and Violet’s Tale came out~3 years later. I think that it’s why Violet’s Tale is longer. Ren really is a master of his craft. He uses literary tools like metaphor, simile, alliteration and personification in such a way that, no matter who you are, your background etc, you can see and feel what is happening. Each Tale begins with an overture that sets the tone . He changes his cadence and tone with each character ( Jenny being the only one who we don’t hear anything from directly- other than Richard). His guitar is not simply “ a guitar “ . When REN is the narrator he also changes his tone of voice accordingly. In Violet’s Tale , when the camera pans up and Ren sings “ She never ( drawn out) had a chance “ you can see it , that chance, floating up and out into the darkness. And later the line “ London City, far from pretty…” is delivered for the last time, and you can hear contempt in RENs voice. This is a masterpiece and a master class in storytelling.

[@teckreactions]

I agree. Thanks for being here.

[@Jabadaw]

The only time either of the women (Jenny was like her mother), was when Violet was begging the doctors to save her babies. And Ren alludes to the final twist by his choice of words and delivery. He says "please let my babies stay alive", but the S's are very close together. It's there if you listen.

[@caseybrewer2058]

Same 😢

[@sebastianvignoloicdg4677]

One of the morals that are immersed in the story is that apparently Jenhy has inherited her mother's fear that makes her paralyze and be silent in the face of violence unable to react, and on the other hand, Screech has inherited her father's violence. Can wait for your reaction to Money Game Trilogy from Ren!!!! Greetings from Argentina.

[@teckreactions]

Oh wow. I didn’t see that at first.

[@MrEfreeman]

A sad tale of Generational Trauma. His delivery of the trilogy is excellent, you feel every anxious moment. Thank you for the reaction.

[@teckreactions]

My pleasure!

[@dropbarracuda]

New subscriber, awesome reaction brother, and welcome to the Renegades 👍🏻. This is a tough one for sure, but what Ren does here so masterfully is grab the viewer's full attention, and for the 1 minute following Stevie's knocking to the "fast forward", he ensures that we're all on the same page on the horror of what's being portrayed here. When he takes us through the twist at the end, there's cathartic revelation, horror, and sadness, but most importantly empathy washes in with the huge rush of emotions. With this last part especially Ren's music has helped to open the door on non-judgmental spaces for people around the world to connect through their shared experiences, and to share encouragement, support, and love with one another. I personally have never seen anything like it, particularly not in the YT comments section, but Ren's music and the Renegades are welcome surprises, and a gift we all share.

[@teckreactions]

[@teckreactions]

Oh wow. Thanks!

[@RonaldSimkin]

I've watched different reactions to this 100 times. It just occured to me that when Screech finds Patric isn't home, and he calls his girlfriend but she is "busy," not only is Patrick probably sleeping with Screech's girlfriend, but maybe Screech is just here realizing this and it is probably something that helped drive him to his ensueing suicidal rage with the cops.....

[@KylieIsOverIt]

This was confirmed in Ren - Screech's Tale - Instagram Stories. I am assuming that you haven't seen them. They are absolutely fantastic and a good use of ~12 minutes of your time. Leading up to the Screech's Tale release, these were filmed as "found footage" with Ren playing Screech as a kind of promotional item. He lost a lot of followers on Instagram because people didn't get that he was playing a character and thought this artist they were following was outing himself as a terrible human being. He uploaded them all as a collection on KZbin.

[@teckreactions]

Interesting.

Ren is such a stellar performer - setting the stage with his opening notes ... lyrics that crackle with energy... just chefs-kiss.

[@teckreactions]

True

[@sanfordgfogg]

I feel the significance of the opening guitar line in reference (c. 1760 version) of "God rest ye, merry Gentlemen" translates to "may God grant you peace and happiness" is a premonition of the tales you are about to witness. **spoiler below** Violet was likely forced into intercourse (mentions she's 16 when she moved out), birthing twins which grow up not knowing each other, and the violence involving young (14yo) James is the full circle of Violet's violent experiences. There is speculation that Jenny's familiarity with walking these streets in high heeled shoes (also 14) is suggestive of her life is one of prostitution, again the possibility of the full circle. To me, it calls to question where is the peace and happiness in this story? It's a tragedy that shouldn't be forgotten, and thus should be told. Stories of this kind are too prevalent, and yet, society in general is willing to be ignorant to it's existence.

[@teckreactions]

For real.

[@Shiroar]

Ren is a modern day bard painting such vivid imagery with his storytelling that it pulls you in and forces you to keep watching - even when it gets physically uncomfortable during Violet’s Tale. And Ren uses this ability to shed light on far too real issues in the world. He is special. Anyway great reaction. The one part you found confusing with Jenny escaping was a call back to the beginning of the tale where he says she wanted to escape her life of walking those same streets she’d walked a thousand times before. She did escape that life. Just not in the way she wanted to 😢 Otherwise you got it right. And even noticed him forwarding time with the guitar. Most seem to miss that even if they understand it when he is rewinding, so well done. Now you get to wait in eager anticipation with the rest of us, cause Ren has said that he and his cinematographer Sam have plans to film a pilot to pitch to Netflix when Ren has finished treatments in Canada and moves back to the UK. All we know is that it will be in the same raw style as this trilogy, but that is enough for me to say that if Netflix doesn’t give Ren his own show, they are fools. Also just a small side note… as an atheist I really appreciate that you’re not preaching or being critical about the cursing despite being a worshipper. It’s nice that we can all just appreciate Ren’s insane talent no matter who we are or what we believe. It’s also very fitting considering community is exactly what Ren stands for ❤️ There’s room for all RENegades in his rabbit hole 🐰🕳️

[@teckreactions]

“Modern day Bard” is the BEST description I’ve heard to describe Ren so far. Very fitting. And thanks for the kind words, friend.

Okay, last comment... Ren has a vast variety of songs in different genres, moods, and styles... one my favorites is him busking on the streets with the band he used to play in The Big Push... a ton of good songs but "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop" is freaking awesome and gets reacted to a lot.

So they were both 14....and Jenny "walked the streets" in high heel shoes looking to escape her lifestyle...both tragic victims of "the system" in a cycle of violence that goes back at least two generations...Violet 2005 and Jenny and Screech 2019 fourteen years later. I have listened to well over 100 reactions to this song and still love the guitar through the three segments...your reactions are in my top five. Thanks!

Oh wow. What a compliment. Thank you! So Jenny was a prostitute? Is that the inference?

[@johnpegues5701]

Yes that is an inference, she is 14 years old, out on the streets at night alone in high heel shoes, walking a street she has walked 1000 times before, in a lifestyle she wants to escape...none of that is inference...she was in "the system" and thus doesn't know her brother and he doesn't know her and that makes them both flawed and tragic characters...so I inferred the rest.@@teckreactions

They would’ve entered, foster care as the Moms dead and the dad would more than likely be in prison for her death, seems as if they got separated. or she got adopted and he didnt. And yes, he did drop a hint, and no other Reactor has caught it (I’ve been waiting) Since you came close and asked if he did I’ll tell you the hint he dropped “it was like there was something in the air, a divine intervention telling her to beware” there’s a theory that twins are connected. maybe that was what was the intuition that was bugging her, and making her so scared. today, you earned my subscription.

[@teckreactions]

Ahhhhhhhh

[@nodakfam9604]

You might be one of the first to really touch how he uses his instrument as an integral part of his story telling. He flows between narration, acting - sometimes within the same line with the instrument setting the mood all so fluently. All of this could be full on tv production - introduction, character development, scene setting and transition, etc all done in single takes that suck you in, I feel based on the rawness of it. Sam's skill at also using the camera to be intertwined with the story telling. Pure talent. Great reaction - having seen a ton of these you picked up this crazy story very well for a first time. It sounds like you're getting tons of requests, Ren's catalogue is so diverse you can't go wrong in any direction. The Money Game trilogy is another great story watch.

It is one of my favorites, he is much younger, but it's a bit different and so amazing. Ren is Welsh and has Lyme disease, he was misdiagnosed for years, and it caused a lot of trauma. He currently is doing treatment in Canada, or just recently as in 2023. He is Remarkable and gives me strength.

[@AndaraBledin]

Ren prepared for each of these takes by practicing the guitar pieces so much that it was muscle memory, so that he could put all his focus into his choreography and singing. There's a whole set of supplemental videos he released on Instagram that nearly got his account deleted that he collected as Screech's Tale Instagram Stories, released in conjunction of the release of Screech's Tale. It gives some background on who Screech, Patrick, and Babe all were. The line is "London City, far from pretty, 2-0-0-5." 2005 is the year that Violet died and the twins were born. The first two parts were released in 2019. So he foreshadowed the final revelation for those clever enough to catch it. Here's a fun fact: The bed in Violet's Tale was actually a child's size bed they picked up accidentally. So they put it up on blocks and made sure to not show the feet of it. To see more of his storytelling genius, you should absolutely check out Money Game pts 1, 2, and especially 3, which is a literal award-winning cinematic masterpiece. If you'd like something less weighty but absolutely incredible for a 1-shot video, then pull up Animal Flow.

Another hint that the ended up in foster care is their names. Jenny and James is basically the UK equivalent to Jane and John Doe in the US. Also, "Violet's Tale" could be seen as a play on "Violence Tale" emphasizing the underlying plot of violence often becoming a repeating cycle of generational trauma.

When I first heard Violet was pregnant on my first listening of this, i knew it was Jenny and Screech *maybe because of seeing so much darkness in my own life. Thank you so much!!

a tidbit that many reactors miss is in the chorus of Voilets tale he says London city, far from pretty, 2-0-0-5, meaning the year that he rewinds to that jenny and screech was born is 2005. remember they were 14 years old.. this was made in 2019.

Yes, the more you think about it, you'll think of the terrible details... Like why Jenny getting stabbed was actually an escape... like what was JENNY doing out in the middle of the night in high-heeled shoes, and having been there a thousand times before, AT 14. Where was Patrick, and why was his girlfriend BUSY? And the 2005, Ren released these around 2019, I think, and 2005 would have been 14 years before 2019...

[@Mhantrax]

I spoke to religion and spiritually in my comment on Hi Ren. On this one I just want to tell you I appreciate your knowledge of music, life and humanity.

[@teckreactions]

Thank you, friend!

[@scottrobertson2426]

Ren has a series of songs called "love music" (theres four parts) its the complete opposite of the things youve seen before: just him having fun, cracking jokes and making great music. The happiest kind though. Love music part 3 is such a vibe. Im finding that all.of your videos have been excellent and am loving your content. Your musical knowledge realy makes these reacts better. Love the work dude!

[@teckreactions]

Oh wow. Thank you so much! Looking forward to more!

[@bluechang08]

@@teckreactions As well as the Love Music parts 1-4, you should also take a listen to the Money Game series as they are just as good. I was hooked by Hi Ren and spiraled into about 2-3 hours of watching pretty mcuh everything Ren has put up on KZbin straight after, followed by constantly listening to a playlist of every song Rens's put out onto Spotify in the car. The fact he can go from such heavy storylines in the Jenny/Screech/Violets tale to more upbeat songs like Down on The Beat (feat Viktus) and genres in between makes it very easy to only ewant to listen to Ren and nothing else. My 9 year old son absolutely loves Animal Flow which is another favourite of mine.

Found you through your Hi Ren reaction and subscribed. I am a Christian and a Renegade. Ren's work can be jarring (especially Masochist just FYI), but it paints such a real picture of this fallen world and the suffering people go through in their darkest moments. It reminds me to show love, empathy, and compassion when sitting with the broken. I work as an advocate for women in domestic violence situations. He encapsulates so much nuanced truth of DV relationships in Violet's Tale. Thanks for your Ren reactions.

[@louise11854]

hello dear!! as i continue to chuckle, i must comment on your face going from 'oh no" at the nature of the tale and then going 'oh yes' at the music. ren often produces cognitive dissonance that is visible to the human eye!! astounding!! i believe it is one of ren's super powers. like when you were smiling when he said the devil comes to dance!! that's our man ren!!! i get entirely too much pleasure watching looks of WTF on reactors' faces!!! i would love to see you react to more ren, god shows up in much of ren's lyrics. kathleen bts renegade

[@teckreactions]

Thank you for those kind words. Ren definitely played with my emotions on this one.

[@stevemercer6976]

I like that in between the rewinding and forward-winding of time sequences we get a whole new song with its own melodies and rhythms. A song within a song. Then back to the original melody.

[@teckreactions]

For real!

[@Spooker580]

I heard details on this reaction I don't think I've heard before on this song. Your audio set up is killer. Nice job.

Thanks!

Even though I've watched dozens of reactions, yours may be the best. I was so excited for you to get to Violet because I knew you were going to love the beginning.

It's so good!

This one hits hard for sure. I put it up there with both "Dance With The Devil" and "You Never Know" by Immortal Technique. Those will eat your soul and your heart.

LOL Love the way he chooses his locations to accentuate his music🎶 Great reaction as always🔥If you need something lighter check our Power or Losing It good fun upbeat songs!

[@doubletake3359]

Ren is a modern day Bard/minstrel

[@teckreactions]

That's a fact.

[@gcarap]

Yes you got it. the twins had never met. And two zero zero five was the year he rewound to. Also, and I know this will sound like an oxymoron LOL, but when Ren fast-forwarded on the guitar, he went back to the start of Violet's Tale to the point from which he initially rewound with Violet fighting for her life in the hospital, so he was still in 2005 and not the present day (2019 at the time).

[@teckreactions]

Crazy.

[@RudivanZyl]

Ren's music has a way of playing with your emotions, songs like this and Hi Ren and plenty others will drive you to tears. And then he has songs where he raps on an EDM beat like Losing it and Down on the Beat that you will bop your head to. He is an amazing artist and you will love all his music.

[@teckreactions]

My emotions have been played.

[@AlecSwiftHikes]

This is based on a true story that Ren saw in the news.

[@teckreactions]

So sad

[@Phazetic99]

dude, we got to violet's tale and I had to pause to write this. I love the expressions on your face. I bet your friends say that you wear your heart on your sleeve because you show everything. Probably make a lousy poker player but please take my thumbs up =)

[@teckreactions]

I’ve lost many a poker match in college. You’d be right!

[@DogDocKat]

This was one of the best reactions to this incredible story that I have seen. Really appreciated your understanding and analysis of the chords and guitar techniques used in the story telling. Jenny was silent like her mom and froze when Screech attacked her. Screech had the temper of his father (whether that was Violet's father or Stevie is open for debate). A tragic tale of generational trauma told by a master storyteller. I would highly recommend checking out some of Ren's lighter work for awhile - the Love Music songs (at least 1-3, 4 gets a little... cheeky), Patience and It's Alright are quite light and enjoyable. The Money Game trilogy is fantastic but is a little more political. Looking forward to more reactions 💜💜

[@teckreactions]

Thank you! ❤

[@mikehoy1128]

Hi Matt, enjoyed your reaction to REN’s Tale of Jenny & Sreech very much and everything you comment on is very interesting, more so than any I’ve listened to. Looking forward to more of your reactions to REN.

Enjoying your reactions, hope you continue through Rens catalog. It’s massive. He has a lovely mix of lighthearted and thoughtful songs as well when you need a break from the heart wrenching ones. Check out some of the big push songs that have been recommended 😊

28:18 Ren has many facettes, some rough, some smooth edges. After losing my cousin, last year, to her depression, and the song "Suic!de" being released just days after her funeral, I had a very tough time. Ren lost his best mate Joe, who jumped off Menai Bridge, while Ren literally ran to the bridge to save him. Joe's body was never found... So "Suic!de", "Freckled Angels", "For Joe" and my "favourite", "How ro be me" all circle around that incident. Joe's exit pretty much kept Ren holding on to his own life, even through his toughest times. So these are all quite heavy songs. For lighthearted lyrics, best look at his cheeky rap stuff, like his Beastie Boys hommage "What you want". His own dark side is best explored with "Wicked Ways", "Seven Sins" and "Illest of our Time"

[@teckreactions]

I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin. Thanks for the suggestions!

[@tarar1998]

Another great reaction. This makes me tear up too. Please consider reviews of Twenty One Pilots. They are an amazing duo. Both self-taught. Their first self-titled album is very faith-based. He writes open-ended so everyone can relate in their own way. Ode to Sleep is a good documentary style mv. Stressed Out is their biggest hit of all time. Trees with speech live at Fox Theater will get you hooked immediately! Great reaction channel!!

Screech says to Jenny,' You don't know me.' he thinks he killed a lady... Jenny looking more than her 14 years.
