Music Engineer/Producer FIRST time REACTION to Ren - The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full)

[@davidbanks736]

I showed my 70 Yr old dad this for the first time on fathers day. He loved it,but one thing he noticed at the start of violets tale, that I don't think no one has noticed, was his knees were up on the bed like someone who is having a baby. He just came out with it before any lyrics were sung. Such a cool moment. My Dad went down the rabbit hole. He just kept saying show me another Ren song. So proud.😊

[@annebiebrich9155]

The one thing no one has noticed (other than me) is the sign or chart on the foot board of the hospital bed says "Bed #3 Violet"

[@seth1455]

[@redessa01]

Since the Dr called in the surgeon and with how fast Violet seemed to fade, I assumed the twins were born by C-section. The thought of poor, beaten Violet having to go through labor with her all her injuries feels like more than anyone should have to bear.

[@serendipitish]

I suspect that's what happens when you say, "it doesn't matter, just order the least expensive white bed they have..." 😂

[@portiadavenport9866]

My belief is that the introduction with Ren looking around etc is Violet after death wondering where she was

[@robmarar]

Here's the origin story of the trilogy 🤩😁🤯 This wasn't originally a trilogy story. Ren read a small article in the paper about a 14 yr old boy killing a young prostitute with a knife in an attempted robbery. Knife crimes had been skyrocketing lately. Later that same evening that boy had been shot and killed by the police . It disturbed him, so he set out to write a commentary not just on senseless violence, but on how desensitized we've all become to it. The words he ends both Jenny and Screech's Tales with "It's such a Shame" we say these words all to often and just move on with our business without a second thought. The article quoted the lead inspector at the scene saying " So Young, It's such a shame". Violets Tale was written over 2 years later adding yet another layer of commentary by Ren. Not only generational violence but making us think (how can both these siblings be so cursed). Born out of violence on that cruel night and then both killed with brutal violence in the same night 14 yrs later. Here's a couple of things that made me go Hmm...🤔🤔 Jenny has the same traits as her mother Violet, quiet, voiceless, and timid. Where as Screech mirrors his father Stevie in every way, Loud, obnoxious, and easily prone & provoked into violence. They didn't know one another and had never met their biological parents. What made these kids so much like their parents? Was it simply Nature, inherited traits from their genetic makeup OR WAS IT Nurture, being brought up in the broken government social system filled with broken, mistreated & forgotten children? Love your channel & Woo hoo to Andy Rue Cheers 🥂

My two cents: recent studies have uncovered the phenomenon of “generational trauma” that can be handed down to our offspring even in the womb, when a trauma response causes certain genes to be “flipped on” indefinitely. It’s both horrifying and fascinating.

[@supertuscans9512]

I think that is a nothing more than a creation out of your own mind. As Iundrestand he read a story in the paper about a 14 year old schoolboy being stabbed to death. The rest of this is probably bullshit and you could Hans Kristian Andersen a run for their money. You’re probably one of those tossers promoting the story that ‘How to be me’ was filmed at the suicide spot. Sorry pal but you’re a sick little puppy but not in a good way!

[@jkinney0420]

So to your point on how they ended up so much like their parents. I was adopted as a baby in 1976 and I never knew my biological family growing up. Fast forward to 4 years ago and I ended up finding my biological family not far from where I grew up. Both parents passed but I found my 3 brothers, 2 sisters and 1 first cousin, my oldest biological daughter was 17 at the time and my biological sister, whom again we had never met before, are almost identical to one another. From looks to voices to mannerisms. They literally could be mother and daughter. So while I do believe a lot of it is the environment you are raised in, I also know without a doubt a lot of it is also passed along through our biology. Respect and love always!

In regard to Andiroo’s statement retraction on being classically trained; Ren stated in an interview that he can’t “break the rules” of music if he doesn’t know them.

[@greenogre22]

but then the internet says he‘s studied music performance at Bath Spa University. so he‘s indeed educated in this direction what explains his diverse musical abilities a bit more. so when he says he can‘t break the rules of music if he doesn‘t know them i guess he possibly means he’s been lazy in learning back then. but for sure he‘s gained the right tools for development.

The thing that I keep thinking about is this. Martin Scorsese spent $25 million to make Goodfellas and people lose their minds over the one shot of Henry and Karen walking through the restaurant. It was 3 minutes long. Ren & Sam made Violet's tale for less than $500 and it's a one shot that includes many of the same elements (going in and out of rooms, up stairs, etc.) and it's almost 6 minutes long.

BP, You need to let Andi know that Ren taught himself to play guitar, he tried to take lessons before but couldn't wrap his head around sheet music or remember anything that someone tried to teach him, he had to figure it out himself. He also has stated that he tunes his guitar for ease of use with a song through trial and error on what notes he wants to hit and the easiest way to play them. He talked about all this in the Justin Hawkins interview.

[@itsandiroo]

Noted!!!

[@claycarpenter8625]

People get the rewind of the guitar because he says it but did you notice he played those same chords in reverse order to come back to where he started the lyrics from at the beginning so he rewound then fast forwarded. Simple, yet so clever

@patriciaasher4614 yeah some reactors thought it might be an address but I think you gotta see when Jenny's tale was written in 2019 and she was 14 when she "escaped" so.... the hive picks up more than I do but I'm not obsessed to that degree lol. Let them figure it out and blab it all around 🤣🤣🤣

[@DanKaschel]

The chord progression forward and reversed is how musicals (a la Broadway) communicate changing time period; the technique is borrowed from there.

[@gypsysouldier]

Everyone is talking about one take this and one take that but can we talk about how the hell he did Hi Ren and The Tales while simultaneously dealing with noise complaints, angry landlords subsequent visits after said noise complaints, and people screaming at him out the window to "shut the f**k up" while trying to film the Tales! It's pretty mind-blowing if you really think about it. Idk. I wonder if it has a major effect on the overall performance? I mean, during Illest Of Our Time, they were dealing with some of the people living in that wharehouse taking bats and stuff. What if when he gets the budget to do whatever the hell he wants, his videos lose their edge? 🤔 Haha, yeah, right, I don't ever see Ren losing his edge! It's just crazy to see what he can accomplish when it seems like the world is trying to stop him!

So here for this 🤩

[@nightshade7240]

With a background in classical literature, this feels very much like Chaucer would have been had he lived now. Classics were often a social commentary put in an educational format that was easily digestible. One of my favourite authors said that the two greatest ways to educate people is through comedy or through music. I would also add that the medium of tragedy is an effective literary device as well for educating people. Ren brings them all together in this song but his comedy is satirical in this song.

[@testpattern23]

[@chrisparti]

Another thing I noted was that Ren says 'Jenny felt strange as if there was something in the air' just before me bumped into her twin, Screech. There is a lot of stories of telepathy between twins, if they hadn't experienced that 'twin' feeling before so it would have been confusing not knowing what it was, which may have added to Jenny's freezing and Screech freaking out and killing her.

[@biffa1234100]

[@kevinsykes2549]

Except violet's tale came out a couple years later. Jenny and screech's tale was written about something that really happened. I think Ren just decided to put a different twist on it two years later. Unless he already had it written and just didn't release it till two years later.

[@chrisparti]

@kevinsykes2549 thsts a good pount, I have wondered about that too. Did Ren have the trilogy planned, or was Violets tale a clever addition.. If it's the latter, it blows my theory out of the water 😆

[@scottrogers1493]

You all commented on the descending, sung chromatic scale at the beginning of Violet's tale. The descending chromatic scale is a trope signifying death, forecasting Violet's fate before a word is spoken. The fact that Ren gets that--knowingly or just intuitively-- without classical training is astounding.

[@Aurora-cv5to]

I think "reinventing music" is more possible when you look at his guitar training: he wasn't. According to an earlier interview, he had 2 guitar lessons: neither made any sense to him (he blamed his ADHD). When there was something he wanted to learn, he canvassed youtube videos until he found one he could learn from, and used that. His earliest training seems to have consisted of getting videos of Jimi Hendrix, slowing them way way down, and learning to follow what he did. No classical training. He commented on chromatic scales, and said he'd figured them out early because he liked them, and eventually learned that there was a name for it. He follows his ears. My guess is that this is why he's so successful at mashing up different styles and genres, they aren't put in separate boxes to begin with, but are "music". The man has EARS.

Just to clarify the Hi Ren one take discussion…the audio is all done in one take live (which was take 3 out of the 4 that recorded)…most of the video is from that third take they did, but for certain parts of the video, they used shots from the other takes (i.e. the close ups where he’s standing up).

[@distractjen]

@Andrewyourpicture Ren has mentioned that he was not classically trained and that he can’t break the rules as he doesn’t know them. Which reminds me of a part of a one of my favorite books: We spent countless hours discussing the craft of it. How songs fit together. How chorus and verse play against each other, about tone and mode and meter. These were things I’d learned at an early age and thought about often. And though Denna was new to this study, in some ways that worked to her advantage. I’d learned about music since before I could talk. I knew ten thousand rules of melody and verse better than I knew the backs of my own hands. Denna didn’t. In some ways this hampered her, but in other ways it made her music strange and marvelous. . . . I’m doing a poor job of explaining this. Think of music as being a great snarl of a city like Tarbean. In the years I spent living there, I came to know its streets. Not just the main streets. Not just the alleys. I knew shortcuts and rooftops and parts of the sewers. Because of this, I could move through the city like a rabbit in a bramble. I was quick and cunning and clever. Denna, on the other hand, had never been trained. She knew nothing of shortcuts. You’d think she’d be forced to wander the city, lost and helpless, trapped in a twisting maze of mortared stone. But instead, she simply walked through the walls. She didn’t know any better. Nobody had ever told her she couldn’t. Because of this, she moved through the city like some faerie creature. She walked roads no one else could see, and it made her music wild and strange and free.

[@Beckaj5446]

I absolutely love this, it’s a perfect description. What book is it? Thank you so much for sharing.

[@distractjen]

@@Beckaj5446 it’s from the second book of the Kingkiller Chronicle, called Wise Man’s Fear, by Patrick Rothfuss. The first book is The Name of the Wind. We’ve been waiting on book three for quite some time, but I’m hopeful. The series has been beautifully written so far. And it’s peculiar how many parts of the stories line up with things about Ren.

[@horsehollerer]

Ren said a few days ago (on a Twitch livestream, I think?) that the total cost of making the Violet's Tale video was $500 (five HUNDRED, not thousand). 🤣🤣🤣 The hospital was obviously not a hospital, and the bed was a child's bed with no legs so they had to get creative with the camera angle LOL

[@mikepiccione886]

[@bazamere]

Yeah and there is even a line that says "shed walked it a thousand times before". So it does allude to her having a less than ideal life. This series of songs does highlight the idea of generational trauma

[@jimkhana007]

To be fair though he didn’t associate them as brother and sister at the time of writing the initial tales so Jenny could have been any age - though no doubt young. It wasn’t until a few years later that he actually associated them together and tied the stories in through Violets tale to reveal they where twins - so in a later aspect yes he was insinuating Jenny was a Prostitute at 14

[@biffa1234100]

And Paddington (along with kings cross) is streetwalkers central!

[@NixyRose72]

Something that is theorized is that violet is pregnant from her own father. That's why she's able to get a welfare flat at 16. Also explains why Stevie keeps accusing her of being a liar. She was pregnant when they met. Generational trauma x a billion.

[@oriongriffiths3030]

Yes and one of the other commentators mentioned that it’s based of a true story off a 14 yr old killing a prostitute. I never quite understood why a 14 yr old would be in high heels walking the streets at night she walked so many times before. Crazy how I missed that, I thought I knew the story inside out.

[@ignoblesavage5559]

Andiroo--i hear you on the "pub music" call...first thing i thought was the minstrel from The Witcher, no? i still love that guy's tune, and Ren may be channeling that just a bit. the thing Ren does better than anyone i can think of is his variations on vocal inflection, pacing, and the force he uses in plucking and/or strumming on his guitar to share the immediacy and intensity of the moment in the more urgent parts of a given song. for instance, when it's revealed the Violet is preggers and breaks her silence...it's an urgency she uses to beg the doctor to save her baby. babies (but she didn't know it was two of them). musical theater directors would LOVE to have Ren as both writer AND performer because of all that. boy's got so many skills, and not just decent at a lot of things, but OUTSTANDING at all he does. you can tell, even, that if he narrowed his focus for awhile and worked just on guitar, he absolutely could become an absolute shredder.

[@francesmarinapatarangawhik4702]

Hi Andiroo, Black Pegasus great to see you guys doing another Ren reaction together. This story always gets me, Ren can story tell and write. I'm starting to notice with these reactions there has been more technical obs, its great. Awesome...👍☝️🖼☝️🎇😌

[@SirTheory]

So Andy's disbelief that Hi Ren is a one-take is interesting to me because I recently watched a reaction from a musician (not going to list their channel because I don't want people swarming the video to argue) who said that Hi Ren was absolutely recorded in a studio, just from the way it sounds. And if you pay attention to the difference in sound quality from the end of the song to the start of the monologue, there's definitely a difference in mic ambiance (I'm probably using the wrong words-I'm not a sound guy lol). That doesn't mean he's correct, or that Hi Ren isn't a live one take, but it did serve as a good reminder to me that there's things that the Ren fandom-and by extension, a lot of reactors-take as fact and spread around and fervently believe in ("Ren was signed to Sony Records and got dropped when he got sick" is a good example), but is, at best, a distortion of the truth (Ren was signed to a label owned by Sony, and their parting was mutual; you can see how the truth spins into the more dramatic "good guy/bad guy" version that gets spread around, but it paints a very inaccurate picture of what happened). I've got enough faith in Ren that if I heard him say Hi Ren was a live recording, one take video, that would absolutely settle the question for me (I don't think I've heard him comment at all on Hi Ren, but I've been lagging on all the interviews because they're so danged long lol). And his track record with obviously live one takes (Jenny/Screech, Money Game) makes me fairly happy to consider Hi Ren one as well unless proven otherwise. But it does give me pause when reactors with studio experience find that assertion to be dubious. Ultimately, it shouldn't really matter, right? Being a live one take or a recorded song with a matching video is a matter of technical execution, not artistic end result. The fandom flashes the "live one take" as a badge of honor, as if THAT is what will prove to people that it's an amazing song. No, it's an amazing song because it's an amazing song, not because there's something inherently "extra" about being a live one shot. I'd be really curious as to Andy's take on Ren's live collaborations with Chinchilla, Chalk Outlines and How To Be Me. Partly because they're great songs, and partly because I'd be curious about his opinion on the recording of those.

[@brianarsuaga5008]

Never noticed he plays so much with tempo in Screech's tale before this. The signature is 3/4 for part of the intro, and then 4/4. But the tempo slides around kinda crazily- usually every time he changes voice, though the "bard" voice takes some of the load by stretching his slides. That's clever, because a lot of it is constantly very slightly increasing the tempo measure to measure, and the bard bleeds off some of that tension.

To clear things up with the "one take" on Hi Ren: They did multiple One-Take-Shots (4 or 5 I think it was) and they had 1 cut in the version they used and this is right before the camera gets close to Ren near the end. It wasn't technically possible to pick the camera from the tripod when switching to the more shaky hand filmed stuff. So there it was cutted. Samuel explained that way better than me under one reaction video somewhere on youtube. Still impressive though.

I totally heard the bardcore during parts of this. I only know it because of seeing/hearing the medieval bard named Jaskier on Netflix’s The Witcher.

[@WelshAmethystGirl087]

Yo its not even a Monday but I love it and I'm here for it

[@AgnesPerditaX]

I can't stop thinking about Jenny being only 14 yo and walking streets at night in high-heeled shoes. Such twisted fates for all three of them, really. This is the purest balladry and Ren is, among all the other things, a true bard. And one hell of a storyteller, indeed. Gee...

[@deborahlester4018]

Ren definitely uses his environment for sound effects.

[@SkittleBombs]

OMG I LOVE BARD CORE ! Please do a reaction to get it on the map!

[@stevensmeeth117]

Back in 1976 the Aussie band done a song called jailbreak this song also had sound effects of guitars into guns!! You should have a look.

Welcome back Andiroo! Great reaction once again guys 😎 Yes Money Games pt1 next, I think you will be suitably impressed 💜👍🏼

[@schuhschrank947]

To answer the oe-take-question of Hi Ren: Here is a comment of SamuelPerryFalvey (friend of Ren and cinematographer for the Hi Ren video, 03.02.2023, channel of Jonathan Hiller): "it's done as a live session so sound recorded live and from three cameras but look at the close up for the end as would of been in the wide shot therwise that we cut to. it's a separate take all still live but so it's from two takes. Also the fact there are cuts makes it not a one take at all."

[@jacks9624]

Yey, AndiRoo! Money game, by all means, please!

[@TheColdrush22]

I LOVE THIS!! I also believe that “Hi, Ren” was mostly one take, but there were cuts. His hand positions between when he said “newsflash” and started playing…it’s obvious. That was a cut. Also: the “chromatic” run was not actually even completely chromatic. And it is one of my favorite runs I’ve ever heard in my life. And I’m old. And stupid. And I’m needs a lover. I love this guest. And I love this channel. You guys make me love music so much more. I appreciate you so much. And I am so with your guest that this is probably not him classically trained. This is a dude like Edward Van Halen, who he obviously took creative lessons from for the violet’s tale video.

[@CPegRun]

Andiroo!!! Wooo hoooo!!!

[@sharis9095]

I looked and couldn't see you doing a reaction to Ren's video Crutch (with Bibi). Apologize if I missed it but it's my favourite so I always check to see if anyone does that one. It was written from before his diagnosis and it's haunting and beautiful. Hopefully you've seen it, it's worth the time.

For ‘Bard” think Alan o’dale in the Disney cartoon Robin Hood. A (medieval)singing minstrel telling news through song as he travels from village to village.

[@ADHDville]

Does anyone talk about the coin he drops into the guitar for the bullet hit sound? Genius!

[@barruktp]

I've never heard a commenter realize this, but it's obvious that Jenny is an underage prostitute (e.g. "streetwalker"). That adds a new layer of tragedy to the story. "She had been wanting to escape..."

[@sabfit4life277]

Andys break down is awesome 👌

[@simonhancock4949]

Great comments about the musicality from Andyroo. Bring him back for Money Game and then Losing It to lighten the mood 😎
