REACTING TO REN - THE TALE OF JENNY & SCREECH | VIOLET'S TALE (FULL TRILOGY)

[@peterveste6976]

thank you for reacting and supporting my favourite artist ever ❤❤❤

[@IFroggy112]

Wow, I've watched many, many, many reactions to Ren's songs and I've never seen anyone catch as many details in the Tales as you did. Loved it! I never noticed Violet's name on the bed and none of the reactors I've watched have either. I hope you will go further down the Ren rabbit hole - he has so much great music. If you do, I'm here for it for sure!

[@Sasha-LeeSampson]

Thank you for tuning in, I really appreciate it. I'll definitely continue with the Ren reactions! 😊

[@patrickquinlan3056]

Excellent reaction. I normally don't like pauses but yours were appropriate. These three songs are pure genius. Jenny was a street walker at 14 years old, a prostitute, and these songs were inspired by a news story Ren read about a 14 year old boy who stabbed a prostitute in London. He used his fertile imagination to fill in the details. All three were filmed and recorded live with no edits. Ren specializes in such mastery. You are very perceptive and noticed so many tiny details many others miss. You asked about Ren making movies. He is in the process of making a deal with Netflix where he intends to direct his own movies. Now, that is something for us all to look forward to. Thank you for reacting to Ren.

Yes , You Breaks are Short and Sweet and You always Rewind a few Seconds, thanks for that. Your going to love Ren's Catalog and He is a Busker so He's live on the Streets. He has a Band called Big Push and Trick the Fox when He was a Kid. You'll Love everybit of it and Become a RENegade like the rest of Us. Lovs and Peace .@@Sasha-LeeSampson

Love that you called Ren a "Bard". He literally calls this genre of storytelling music "Bardcore".

[@cherrybomb1386]

Everything about this man is just so exciting. Best and most inspirational music in several many decades. 👏 he deserves all the love and respect.

[@anniedh600]

You said you wish you could see him perform live. Well, you can sorta, the next best thing. He was in a band for 5 years called The Big Push. They disbanded last Fall because Ren was coming to Canada for extensive treatment and they all wanted to work on some projects during that time. There are many videos of them ‘busking’ (aka street performing ). They also made music videos and wrote some original content as well as doing a lot of covers. When you watch their videos, especially their busking videos, you will see a whole new series of talent levels. The entire band is immensely talented and play multiple instruments and they all sing. When you watch their busking videos and see the excitement of the crowd, it is easy to feel like you are there. Many people like to first send reactors to The Big Push: I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop. Next up: I would say do their busking one of Paint it Black (the Rolling Stones Cover). Watch Out (live busking). - it’s one of their originals Englishman in New York. - this is not busking What Kind of Woman is This live. - it’s not busking Dignity. - it’s an original with a neat behind the scenes video of them. Ren has older content from before he was with The Big Push. Some great stuff. Also cool to see and hear a younger Ren. He was also briefly with a small band called Trick the Fox. His collaborations are all top notch. Content with Sam Tompkins should be high on one’s list. It’s all good. A favorite of many is a video of Ren and Sam busking where they sang Earned It/Man’s World/Falling. FYI, Ren sort of discovered Sam and gave the kid his start. Now Sam has been signed to open for Justin Bieber. He did it once but now Justin wants him to do the whole tour I believe. Collaborations with Chinchilla are pretty hot too. Of course, it goes without saying, check out REN’s solo content. It is a great variety of content. Ren is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get. Cry, laugh out loud, jaw drop, or even ??? - you just never know and I’m down for all of it!

[@Erndog67]

Absolutely amazing reaction. You missed very little and I've not seen the name on the bed before and it feels like I've watched a thousand reactions to this song. Best part is it the end, watching the reactors face as they realize what's going on.

[@patcow9999]

Great reaction to an incredible trilogy of one-take songs. I love the way in Violet's Tale, he rewinds on the guitar tells us how she got to be hospitalised, then wings back on the guitar to the exact same "London City far from pretty 2005" point in time. The Ren rabbit hole is a real joy with superb detours into collabs (Chinchilla, Eden Nash, Sam Tomkins) and his former band: The Big Push. Enjoy exploring as much as I have!

You are very astute in your reaction, you are getting everything and understanding it all so clearly, I love that. Also Kudo's to the camera man on these videos. He's so great with the filming and the way that the two of them set things up. Funny I typed this and then I hear you saying the same !!! thumbs up to you lady, not many others mention the camera man, some do but not all.

Such a great reaction! Each of these 3 stories were a completely live 1 take. More Ren please!! Money Games 1 & 2 are unbelievable. Chalk Outlines is another great one to hear his range as a singer.

[@michaelgrabner8977]

You are a sharp minded Lady, very observating for the details and also always catching the mood the music provides..and especially for Ren´s tracks that is truely necessary....and because of that it is simply a joy to watch your music reactions

[@Sasha-LeeSampson]

Hi Michael! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your comment 🙂🙏🏻

[@jorel80]

That bit he plays at the beginning of Violet with the fast fretboard tapping sounds like pain. It's the guitar imitating the sharp sting followed by the ripples of pain through the body as violet is laying in a hospital bed. Then theres the singing right after which to me sounds like sadness, crying.

[@Sasha-LeeSampson]

You 100% right! 👌🏻

[@geofthompson3844]

Big props 👏. You got everything spot on. Even spotting the bed with her name on which almost everything else misses. Pause as much as you need, because you honestly do such a great job that it doesn't detract, it adds to the reaction. Excellent work 👏

14:20. The line "It's such a shame", mirrors the tone of statements from the UK authorities and media, in the aftermath of similar tragedies. In the US they would probably substitute "...thoughts and prayers", while at the same time refusing to acknowledge the real problems, or developing policies to prevent these things happening.

[@DavidDArcy1975]

when he starts tapping the fretboard at the beginning of Violet's Tale, it reminds me of Ennio Moreicone's spaghetti western soundtracks... particularly the Segio Leone movies 😎🤘☘ Respect & Peace ☘

[@AlSnoopsReid]

One of the very best reactions to "The Tales" I've heard. Excellent explanations of what Ren was portraying while he was playing each of the characters and the correct reading of the dramatic pause at the end is something not many others have managed to do. Well done young lady. New sub here.

Great reaction and so on point. Just subscribed. I watch all reactions to Ren's videos and this was right up there. Ren's catalogue is massive covering many genres including his duets (Especially with Chinchilla) and his previous band The Big Push. Welcome down the Ren rabbithole, once you've dined on Ren you have to eat the whole course.

Great reaction! You are quite astute at picking up on all the clues and deeper meaning behind each and every scene and lyric. I've often said with Ren's videos every blade of grass, every grain of sand was strategically placed there for a reason. True artistry in its purest form! Thanks for bringing us this video and looking forward to your next reaction! 😊

[@erichburger1935]

Yep, Ren is Amazing. Keep going. Your mind still has a ton of getting blown to go!!!

[@caladonn2659]

Ren is the Original "Bardcore Genre Bender" The Master Bard himself ( Shakespeare ) would have understood exactly where Ren was coming from. Ren isn't just a songwriter but rather a Performance Art Master who blends music and character acting from all the styles over the last 500 years and makes it modern and relatable to all generations even if normally you may not be a fan of whatever genre he is currently performing. The Ren Rabbit Hole is Deep and Powerful! Get Ready for the Ride of your Life!

[@kylebrooks338]

Ever since I saw his Hi Ren video I thought I’d be built a movie around his life I could see it as something like a bio pic but with some supernatural stuff as well. At the end of it he says how at 17 he told himself that he would conquer evil and paid for it for the next 10 years. We would need a very intense cast though

WOW!! great reaction, dear! i loved watching your face during this video. i'm gonna go watch your hi ren reaction. keep up the great work, dear. your commentary was thoughtful. when i think about these 2 kids, imho, jenny was a 14 yr old streetwalker (floor walker?) and screech was a 14 yr old with a lady friend. kids must grow up real quick on the mean streets of london. you have many delights ahead of you if you continue down the ren rabbit hole. much love, kathleen - bts renegade

[@stevehartley7504]

The deepest sleep. To escape..... life! The tale is based on a real incident in London Violets tale is an imagining of how/why it could have happened

[@xdaniedx]

There's a rumor of why Ren is currently in Los Angeles. Well he said it's for a little getaway and time off from treatment then he recorsed and released a acoustic version of his song Murderer and it's even better than the original. BUT Ren had mentioned a few months ago that him and Sam his cinematographer got so much positive feedback about the Tales and they should have a show on Netflix and he said that they had recorded a pilot episode and they were wanting to pitch the idea to Netflix with and if they picked it up they had another five episodes ready to be filmed with future episode concepts already being worked on. So there's a possibility that's why Ren was really in Los Angeles. Time will tell. But Ren said if the show ever worked out he would want to have other up and coming or established artists doing their own tales and doing it in one take also.

[@nonagrey3422]

I've never noticed that Bed 3 Violet before! Fantastic catch! And I guess we know who is in bed 1 and 2....

[@williamparrish9954]

in Screech tale when he make the phone call she busy because she with Patrick that why he never answer the door

[@FooDogDat]

'Sick Boi' is short almost a follow on to 'Hi Ren' shot in the same location, it gives some clues to Ren's illness, misdiagnosis of his Lyme disease, and the poor medical care that caused many of his problems. It segues into more social commentary that you can see in his releases of 'Money Game part I' and especially 'Money Game part II.' "Suic*de' and 'For Joe' deals with his long-time childhood friend, which also explains the title of his first album 'Freckled Angels.' Very nice catch on the bed end clipboard, nice reaction video, well done in how you set things up in your studio, position of the video, good quality audio and video and bits of post production work.

[@dmasters1970]

This story was loosely based on a newspaper article Ren had read about a 14 year old boy killing a prostitute. Also I noticed when you heard the seagulls it was filmed in Brighton which is a seaside town in the UK and not London as described in the tales.

[@matthewmotiuk2221]

It’s like watching a movie

[@robmarar]

Ren call this style Bardcore (like the bard Jaskier in The Witcher but in modern times) and here's the origin story of the trilogy 🤩😁🤯 This wasn't originally a trilogy story. Ren read in the paper one day a small article about a 14 yr old boy killing a young prostitute with a knife in an attempted robbery. Knife crime had been skyrocketing in London at this time. Later that same evening the boy had been shot and killed by the police who were searching the general area for a murder suspect. It disturbed him, so he set out to write a commentary not just on senseless violence, but on how desensitized we've become to it. The words he ends both Jenny and Screech's Tales with is "It's such a Shame" we say these words all to often and just move on, without a second thought. The the lead inspector at the scene said " So Young, It's such a shame". Violets Tale was written over 2 years later adding yet another layer of commentary by Ren. He wanted us to consider not only generational violence but to make us look at all angles of society that we turn a blind eye to. Both characters are born out of violence on that one cruel night of Violets murder and then both children killed with brutal violence on the same night 14yrs later. Also, his lyrics have even more meaning when you read in between the lines. For example he doesn't say what Jenny was doing or why she wanted to escape from this place & life, or why Screech thought she was older saying at Patrick's door "I left this lady lying on the floor" yet she was his age. Could it be the way she's dressed & probibly heavy makeup as well? Also why is a 14yr old girl out so late at night alone in a sketchy area wearing high heels & that "she's walked these floors a thousand times before" everything points to Jenny being an underage prostitute, showing us what Ren writes has reason & makes us think to fill in the gaps. There's no fat on the bone, every word is weighed & has meaning. Also, how can both these siblings be so cursed? Jenny has the same traits as her mother Violet, quiet, voiceless, and timid. Whereas 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 due to their genetic make-up OR Nurture, being brought up in the broken governmental system filled with, mistreated & in many cases, abused children in many foster care situations? He organically takes us on this journey, leaving us to think that we should be doing better job in this so called "advanced, wealthy, 1st world society. I' loving your Ren reactions, they can't come out fast enough. Cheers 🥂.

Love that you give credit to the4 cameraman, well deserved, his name is Sam, you can see him driving the car in the video Power.

[@kennethmichael5404]

SO much to take in with this brilliant Shakespearean tragedy. I get frustrated with some reactions when it's missed how he describes Jenny....why would a 14 year old be walking the same street a 1000 times, in high heel shoes? Almost no one seems to catch that. Did you? Also, for "Screech's Tale", it seems that almost no one catches that Screech's girlfriend and his friend Patrick, happen to be "busy", or not available, at the same time. Consider why. Maybe they were together? Patrick wasn't home...was he with Screech's girl at her place and that's why she was "busy"? It adds a whole other layer to the story. Also consider that Jenny and Screech were born side by side, and essentially died side by side, one street apart. Born on the same day (2005), died on the same day (2019). An entire family, mother and twins that never knew each other, wiped out by a cycle of violence. An abused mother, a 14 year old prostitute, and a 14 year old thug/murderer. There's sheer brilliance in the line "please let my baby stay alive"....at this point you don't yet know that it's twins, but "baby" followed by "stay" can also be read as "babies" because the S in "stay" isn't necessarily separate from "baby". Say it out loud- you'll understand what I mean. Such a clever way to hide the twist reveal while still giving it up at the same time...if you can catch it. Brilliant.Powerful stuff. In "Violet's Tale", the way he uses the acoustics of his environment to accentuate the song is absolute brilliance....and btw, Ren is self taught on the guitar. Just one of many instruments he plays including drums, bass, & piano.The man is truly special. A prodigy. From what I understand, he wrote the first 2 songs after reading an article about a very young man murdering a young woman in London, he didn't write "Violet's Tale" until a few years later and that one was of his own making. He said that there are 2 songs so far that he wrote, that he knew in his gut were special. "Hi Ren" (of course) and "Violet's Tale". (He was right on both counts imo.) He also said he feels like he has a 3rd one ("Money Game" 3) that fits that same feeling coming out with his new album. He has yet to release it or shoot the video. It's coming soon.
