What’s 9 more minutes? We have watched hundreds of reactions to Hi Ren!

LOL. So true.

It's my hobby.

In February of 2023, B.R. (before my introduction to Ren) I was subscribed to five or six music reactors. After March 2023, A.R. (after my introduction to Ren) I subscribed to 600 music reactors....

[@Gargagepad]

Omg you are so lucky. You get to hear all Rens tracks for the first time . Enjoy 👍

[@reachmeorteachme]

I know right. The channel has been awesome in that respect. I used to watch all these reactions thinking exactly that "ah I wish I could experience that song for the first time again" and now I literally am. 😆

[@rogerstarkey5390]

@@reachmeorteachme Welcome to "BARDCORE" (as named by Ren) There are some "Difficult" songs to listen to, but there are also those that will have you shouting at the screen or laughing out loud. Just remember, It's a pendulum! Tip. If you see a "Part 3" there's always a 1 and 2! in 1 case, 2 versions of part 2... lyric first, "live" second 😉 (You'd be amazed how many get the order wrong and miss the context)

MURDERER!!

[@robmarar]

@@reachmeorteachme Cheers from Canada mate, I''m subbed and excited to see you've discovered Ren. You'll have many, many requests for some of Ren's greatest art pieces like The Tale of Jenny and Screech, Sick Boi, or his powerful Money Game series 1, 2 and 3, but I'd like to suggest that you do his latest release next🙏🙏it's called "Troubles" released on May 9th. The reason for my suggestion is because Ren really wanted this song to get as much exposure for M.E Awareness month. He created it as a message of HOPE for chronic victims and over all messaging to the general public to help in funding and studies. Briefly: Ren had Lyme Disease but was misdiagnosed for 7 years of his life from age 19 - 26, all the while the disease was crippling him. Ren at one point was bed ridden 23hrs a day with chronic pain, fatigue & psychoses until he was finally diagnosed properly & treated for his actual illness with a stem cell transplant. His song "Troubles" is the true story of his struggle for answers and at one point believing he would not survive past the age of 30. Ren created this song in a somewhat classic 90's story telling Rap format, gorgeous & vivid poetic imagery with a🔥🔥🔥beat that he created from a sample he purchased by Vera Hall, Trouble So Hard 1930. Now "Troubles" will give you a real feel for this artist but please don't sit back and think you've figured him out. Ren is a Singer/Songwriter/Rapper/Storyteller/Multi-instrumentalist guitar, bass, piano, drums/Studio Producer/Actor/Director and ((all self taught for the most part)). He's been called a generational talent and as most people who have watched his work will probibly tell you Ren never misses. Ren's work is always amazing or thought provoking, fun, etc, but never anything bad or forgetful. This man has a mind blowing catalog of work that touches on almost every genre of music and he moves in out of them as well as blending and fusing genre's at will, in unexpected ways. Many will say when you play a new Ren release it's exciting because you never know what you'll get from Ren. 👍✌.

Jenny and Screech trilogy (with Violet's tale) - 3 songs each done in one take, like this one. Next level story telling - aptly called Bardcore. You will enjoy everything by REN. I think we have a new RENegade! Welcome!

Bardcore! That's brilliant. I was trying to think of a way to describe his music. And honestly, that's possibly the best word mash I've ever seen.

[@steveknutson5617]

after a year of obsessed with the whole wonderful Ren adventure, I think the most impressive and unbelievably rare thing are the comments on reactors comment section of the thousands and thousands of people telling how ren has SAVED their lives, HELPED their lives,, and CHANGED their lives. It is so amazing to read them all. What other artist in any era can match that? Ren in my opinion deserves either a nobel prize for literature or better yet the peace prize. after all they gave one to bob dylan.

[@jasonoverman9679]

Ren has a very long list of stuff to check out and every single one of them will have you saying "I wasn't expecting that" He does every genres of music there is and does them well. He'll also introduce you to some other artist's that are worth checking out with his colabs

[@cathrinewitty6749]

This really is the tip of the iceberg as far as Ren's talent you have one hell of a ride in front of you if you want to see more of him. Ren is self taught as far as the instruments he plays, he is so talented it's as if music flows through and out of his body. He was signed to Sony as a teenager but unfortunately got very sick before they could complete his first album so they parted ways. He has Lyme disease and went undiagnosed for a very long time which in turn caused irreparable damage his body and brain. He is currently in Canada receiving treatment in the hope to improve his quality of life. He has an incredible back catalogue of music and you never know what you're going to get with him. A lot of his videos are filmed live and in one take, they've even won two awards. He also played in a busking band called The Big Push and they have some incredible covers that will make your head spin. Ren really can do it all he's a once in a lifetime artist who deserves all the recognition and success. KZbin reactors have played a big part in getting him the exposure he has today, he got a number 1 album in the uk last year which is incredible for an independent artist. Songs I recommend covering next are. Sick boi Seven sins The tale of Jenny and screech Chalk outlines Suic!de How to be me The money game trilogy And I highly recommend watching his 1 million subscribers video. Welcome to the world of Ren I'm sure all the renegades will be along to support you very soon.

[@Lynxeye-Youtube]

I've been hooked on this phenomenal Artist's work for over a year now, and I can't stop being amazed at how surprised so many people are when they discover him! I relive my moment of surprise and... best of all (and a sign of how phenomenal his work is) I feel surprised again... and again and again! Thank you Ren. Thanks for the reaction.

[@clarabenn879]

great reaction - you said enough, but not too much. watched all the way through. Subscribed. Glad you didn't have the subtitles on. Never helps with Ren, as he's very clear. I do recommend Sick Boi, which delves into the traumas of 8 years of being misdiagnosed with psychogenic illness, which actually turned out to be Lyme disease, or The Tale of Jenny and Screech (official music video), which is an absolute musical/story-telling tour de force.

[@helenc1693]

Ren is a beautiful soul He has helped me immensely I adore him

[@jamesp7709]

What I like about Ren is that there is not one "right path" to follow down the rabbit hole. Anything you grab will be great, and still vastly different from what you just listened to last from him, or what you will move on to next. A true artist. A generational talent. Subbing for more Ren, so I can get my fix experiencing him for the first time again through you.

[@RayasRealm]

Loved your reaction. Welcome to the odyssey that is Ren! I’ve never experienced an artist like him. With so much mundane, lacklustre music out there, Ren is truly a breath of fresh air ♥️

[@user-tz3dh6bu1p]

I am still watching your reaction, He is a lyrical genius and has a tragic story. I post this small explanation should give you a little incite. A lot of his music deals with his past illness. He is very very intelligent and pretty much a regular bloke in his vernacular.. LOL Ren has been through some nasty shit, I copied this and post it on new reactors messages. He was bitten by a tick when he was 16 or 17 He got really sick from it and went to doctors and they could not figure what was wrong with him. When he had joint pain, muscle spasms, skin rashes, boils, internal organs started shutting down, And Doctors had no idea what was going on. He was loosing weight and had constant fatigue could not even stand to shower.. Doctors started sending him to psychological evaluations, They told him his mind was making him sick ! And started treating him for that with some heavy pharmaceuticals. And all that shit really fucked with his mind, He started believing he was crazy. And this went on for 8 fucking years !! 8 YEARS !! He pursued his own symptoms and lead to a Doctor that gave test for Lyme disease. Where he lived it was very rear to ever contract Lyme disease so he was never tested. When he went in described his symptoms the Doctor knew what he had. Ran the DNA test and found it in his system. However it has been in there for 8 years and has done a lot of damage to his body. He can only eat like 6 things his bones still hurt and the autoimmunity may never be healed. He had to go into surgery to remove tissue to generate stem cells grown outside his body then under go treatment taking the stem cells to help with the autoimmunity and help heal his deterioration of muscle, and a very aggressive antibiotics regiment to cure the Lyme disease chromosome. That was in LA then he went to Calgary and under going treatment on the damage the Lyme left.. He is still there until June. Welcome to Ren he is a talent I have never seen. And I have seen a LOT !! He has 209 songs on u tube no joke I pretty much like them all new and old !! His older lyrical videos are great try, everybody drops, He

[@reachmeorteachme]

Oh... my... God! I'm pretty hooked already, but now I really can't wait to dive into his music. Thank you so much for his story.

[@ChrisLawton66]

I've heard a lot of music in my 57 years. I had the same favourite act for over 45 of those years, until Justin Hawkins' reaction brought Ren to my attention. He is, hands down, the best I've ever heard. And the artists he associates with are all top notch. I don't think you'll find any Ren fan that didn't stay to the end with you. Insofar as what song from Ren that you should listen to next, well, Im sure you've had a bunch of suggestions already, so I second all of them. Liked and subscribed for your Ren journey.

[@MikeyPea72]

I totally agree And I've lived clocked up 73 years. But for me Ren is more than music, he is a portal to a better world.

[@GoodGirlGone]

Thank for your reaction!!! A good next step would be the trilogy “The tale of Jenny & Screech (full)” … has to be the 13 min video (has all 3 songs) as they are basically one song.. and you will be burned at the stake if you try to split it up 😋😁.. with Hi Ren you would then have covered the big Bardcore songs and then you can tumble, stumble and fall into his rap or singer songwriter music… after the tales you can basically choose any song and you won’t be wrong.. but the Renegades will direct you… enjoy.. you are in for one hell of a ride… welcome 😁

Oh and he is currently doing a series on his life.. one chapter each day until the 9th May when his latest song “Trouble” will be released.. he dropped the 2nd chapter today (you can find the 1st 2 chapters on his “Renmakestuff” KZbin channel… as you are brand new he tells the in depth story of his life from when he started getting sick.. it will give you all the background you will need to understand his songs… you can either react to them each day, or watch on your own.. they are well written and well told (of course.. it is Ren after all) … this could be helpful also as currently there are so many different stories about him going around, that this will be the one truth (you will start to see inconsistencies in the comments and wildly differing stories… ) so it will also help you navigate the comment section 😋😁

I found Ren just over a year ago. I was a patient of ACT Mental Health at the time here in Canberra. During a phone consultation with my psychiatrist (a professor at ANU) and his ANU med student observer, I eagerly recommend they watch HI Ren. During the session, the doctor offered me a list of approx. 15 alternative medications to replace the one I had stopped taking as it didn't work (I declined all of them). We made a next appointment date and finished the session...... The psychiatrist was suddenly unavailable for my next appointment. I was told he was on leave of unspecified length, and after 7 months of waiting, was told I could no longer be a government client of ACT Mental Health (after 15 years), and would have to go private if I wanted to see a psychiatrist! lol I think REN hit a nerve with the fragile ego of the mental health nazis here in the small town sewer of unflushable turds here in Canberra!!!! Give me a dose of Ren's music any day!! :-)

Ren and chinchillas chalk outlines is hauntingly beautiful. He surrounds himself with wonderful talent .. I've never seen another artist like him.....

Thank you see you at the next one Peace

[@dsanj4745]

Good reaction! You caught the different voices and playing styles between Condescending Ren and Hopeful Ren. There is also the occurence of flickering lights when Condescending Ren speaks. The darkness battling for dominion over the light, but ultimately there is no dominion from either. Light and dark... the two sides of the one coin.

[@Lilymonster-in5mp]

Watch Ren again? YES, PLEASE! I really resonated with your comments - thank you for a fantastic reaction I would recommend The Tales of Jenny and Screech trilogy (the 13 minute version with all 3 songs is the best in my opinion) - this shows off his insane storytelling skills. Sick Boi, Chalk Outlines, How to Be Me, For Joe, Sui*ide are heavy but magnificent. If you want your brain melted, Seven Sins, The Hunger, Losing It (Fisher Rap Version), Animal Flow To fill your soul back up - Fred Again Mashup, Back on 74/Message in a bottle Retake, Makay. You truly can't go wrong with any of his music. Much Respect! Stayed til the end & definitely subbed ❤

[@ricardogarcia9243]

Now you're prepared to the trilogy "Jenny and Screech's tale". Ren came to change the way to make music.

[@darlinesly9364]

Once you discover the genius and talent of Ren you are willing to stop and watch endless reactions to the same song. It doesn’t get old seeing people react to Ren for the first time. Regardless what song you select, once we see it’s Ren , we will pause to watch and listen. After you’ve delved into his music a little more you should watch what he’s recently been posting . One chapter at a time he is telling us his true story of his illness and all the suffering and difficulties it caused him to struggle through. Unbelievable his will to survive, so fortunate for Ren and all of us that he refused to succumb, refused to give up, throw in the towel. We would have missed out on so much that he had to say, so much he had to offer us. Even though his struggle has not ended, he has found ways to cope and continue with his purpose in life. I’m grateful for that and thank you for reacting. His music is not meant to be just background noise, the message is lost unless you watch and listen to every word.

[@BLIND82]

If you look again when you was trying to figure out parts of the puzzle at the start, notice his shadow on the floor. 1 light and 1 dark, Ren says in another song dear God he thinks it's more complex then good vs evil there's both light and dark inside people. You will soon realise Ren is like no one you have ever had the blessing to encounter. Every genre, and every emotion Ren masters! And that's not including his intonation, tonality, lyrics, inflections and his delivery. Get comfortable and be prepared for a magical, harrowing and beautiful journey.

My adult son has the same anxiety issues I have and I have to get both of them to hear this to understand that they are not alone in this struggle.

Great reaction! Ren is a musical Swiss Army knife so what you watch next depends on what you want. Beautiful duets - Chalk Outlines (live) and How to Be Me (both with Chinchilla); a gobsmacking trilogy with insightful social commentary - the Tale of Jenny and Screech; something fun? His band The Big Push and their covers of Bongo Bong, Englishman in New York and Praise You. Rap - The Hunger, Illest of Out Time, Genesis; Ren the crooner and lost son of Sting? Back on 74/Message in a Bottle Retake. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg…

[@richardhayes9360]

It's not often mentioned, but if you notice at the end of the actual song (guitar playing, singing dancing bit) his last chord on the guitar does not resolve . . . he leaves it hanging, almost "unfinished" which ties in with the whole eternal dance theme. It's never finished, the dance is forever.

[@adam.4487]

A lot of us continue with that eternal battle. Not always easy to relax. I'm 75 years old and the battles do not get easier over time. I'm living in Florida U.S.A. I love hearing from the Aussies. Thank you for the reaction.

Ren is amazing. I would recommend Sick boi & his duet Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla. The tales of Jenny & Screech are amazing too. He is the voice of a generation.

[@margaretpickholtz8772]

Although nearly every piece of Ren’swork is strong {sick boi gives you a picture of his miserable experience with the medical industry when he became ill}. His talent is amazing, he works hard and it is starting to pay off. Cheers to him. Thanks for the reaction.

[@PSKROCKS]

All Ren's huge catalogue is top tier stuff, he really doesn't miss musically. However from a 'mind blowing' and conceptual music/video perspective, aside from 'Hi Ren', would be Tales of Jenny and Screech (full 13min version) and the Money Game trilogy - both are incredibly profound, and 'jaw dropping'-ly creative.

[@albamartinez4987]

Stayed till the end, loved your reaction ♥️ I've found that goosebumps happen when you realise you're in the presence of greatness. Ren's intelligence and talent is found in everything he does and I'm excited for you to discover him more, you won't be disappointed. Sick Boi is a good one to do next, but you might want some background on Ren. Ren is an independent Welsh singer based in Brighton, England. When he was a teenager he was bitten by a tick unbeknownst to him. Oblivious, he started developing unusual symptoms while studying music at Bath University but after several visits to the drs, they decided it was all in his head and dismissed everything as psychological. As a result Ren was put on several psychiatric medications that only made the problems worse (as they were not treating his infection) and Ren suffered with episodes of psychosis, severe pain and fatigue among other horrible symptoms. This went on for 8 excruciating years while he tried several things he'd find on the Internet in he hope that one day he'd be cured of whatever he had (he didn't know still). Hi Ren was written at a time when Ren thought he didn't have much longer on this Earth and he wanted to leave something behind that would help others that were also struggling, a legacy as such. Thankfully, he came across a Dr in Belgium that diagnosed him with Lyme's and he started treatment straight away and felt some improvement. Unfortunately, because the disease was allowed to run rampant for so long, Ren's body suffered with autoimmune reactions as well as brain and nerve damage. However, he is currently in Calgary, Canada where he has been receiving treatment since the release of Hi Ren to help him with these problems. In the meantime however, Ren has managed to release an album (Sick Boi) which made it to the UK's #1 (beating Rick Astley!) the week it was released! An incredible achievement considering everything and the fact he's independent and has no radio play at all here. If you're interested in knowing more about him, in his own (wonderfully eloquent) words, he is currently releasing a daily 'reading' every day live at 6.15pm (UK) time @renmakesstuff where he is telling is how his disease and life started and progressed to raise awareness for M.E. and other chronic conditions. They end on May 9th with the release of a new song. Looking forward to your next reaction, subbed for more ❤

Ren is changing lives his lyrics reflect his thoughts and feelings without being guarded enjoy your journey in the world of Ren he does it all ✌️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

Well done sir. For more poignant performances checkout The Tale of Jenny and Screech and Money game 1,2,3. The songs with his mates in the Big Push are mucho fun. Back on 74 and What you want are two of my current favorites.

[@pattiburris6936]

Just wait..... There are endless layers. He's a bloody genius. Quite the painter ❤

[@bronagh1579]

The tale of "jenny and screech " its 3 parts play in order jennys tale, screechs tale and violets tale...brilliant and sick boy...and everything his done basically also his former band The Big Push listen to I shot the sheriff/road to zion...again brilliant.

[@JS-TexanJeff]

Check out Ren's "Jenny and Screech" next...the full 3 part trilogy. Even more emotional, and brilliant audio/video/cinematography.....also one-takes.

[@jjkehrley]

Welcome to the rabbit hole of a lifetime!

[@craiggrant8600]

Rens songs have helped 1000s of people! That's why he does it!

[@AudioVile]

This was an outstanding first-time reaction to Ren. I've heard this now easily 100 times over the past year. I (like other Renegades) enjoy watching reactors experience him for the first time... especially with this masterpiece. You picked on the meaning, the depth, the nuance and the intensity far better than most on the first listen. As many will tell you, ANYTHING by Ren will be excellent. In MY opinion, even after hearing it so many times, this is (my opinion) his most profound work. His portrayal of the human struggle is amazing. Your reaction was ALSO amazing. Great job! Keep it going!

[@nicolefagala3270]

Oh, hell! U get to have the vest ride EVER!! Every song is unique and a masterpiece! ❤

[@JerryPaulTreeCreations]

LOL.... better build a boat... a flood is coming! The only thing better than discovering a Ren video, is watching others discovering them. 😁 That's just my own opinion, but I'm sure there are many that would agree. 🙂 Great reaction! Cheers!

[@reachmeorteachme]

That's what I'm like with Pink Floyd. Seeing people hear them for the first time is awesome. Makes me wish I could experience them for the first time all over again. But now I get to do that with a bunch of amazing artists, like the one and only Ren.

[@JerryPaulTreeCreations]

@@reachmeorteachme Absolutely!! Pink Floyd will always be one of my all time favorites. For me, a lot of it is in the story telling. 'Floyd, Jethro Tull, Styx, Hendrix, James Taylor, Elton John, John Denver, etc, etc., etc... All phenomenal story tellers. One that always pops in my mind, when I try to compare Ren to other artists though, would have to be Prince. ... He was another "one and only...". Once you get deeper into Ren's library of works, you'll get what I'm saying. 😁 Buckle up, and enjoy the ride/show! Cheers!

[@paulblake3954]

Amen

[@janeanderson6704]

I stayed to the end. Hi from another Aussie, get into Ren, he is amazing and his fans are dedicated. There is so much to discover, you will love all his Works. Keep going, the fans will support you❤

[@legobil_]

When I watch this song and reactions to it, his big smile always strikes me during certain points in the song. He really enjoys these pieces, despite the harsh subject.

[@belindamelville2270]

Ren❤❤❤❤

[@AdamBazille]

Subbed for more REN! "Chalk Outlines" next! #RENegades

[@CindyBaucom-sb1hd]

RENs One Million Subscribers Thank You Video is a great insight to REN as the empathic wonderful amazing person he is.

[@warmfuzzyfeeling]

Thanks for this reaction, I love it when people show us their goosebumps :) The line you paused on "it was never a battle for me to win, it was an eternal dance"... I can see how hard it hit you and it's the line that hits me the most too. I can't put it into words better than Ren did.

[@pirada74]

Yes, of course I stayed till the end. Great reaction! To me Sick boi is part 2 to this, but you really can't go wrong with any Ren. There is a few that should be watch in order like the tales, others are numbered in parts and the only none official trilogy is Freckled Angels- Suicide-For Joe. Any others just react as they call your attention. Just be warned, Ren's catalogue is deep in both content and quantity, but all of it amazing. He does also have lots of fun songs. Enjoy the ride ❤❤❤

[@oceanlover650]

I love that you wanted to go through it again and just listen. I was here til the end and would do it again for any of Ren's songs. You are in for an enlightening and entertaining journey.

[@LadyGX]

Ha! Is there more Ren? Oh, is there. He’s only the best thing to happen to music in decades.

[@norahdenovan8658]

Welcome down the rabbit hole if this genius young man.

[@becbrown212]

The song illustrates his 'eternal dance' so well. Its a good reminder to be gentle on ourselves and accept fragility and flaws.

[@becbrown212]

BTW Ren is his own genre, no exaggeration. Every track is unique.

[@ClearTheRubble7]

I first saw Ren (Hi Ren) on The Charismatic Voice reaction channel early last year. The caption on the thumbnail said, "Ren 'Hi Ren' has me in tears." I had no idea who Ren was, but I wasn't in the mood to watch something sad at the time. Still, I clicked on the link anyway, having no idea what kind of journey I was about to embark upon or how much it would change my outlook on life and creativity. Very few artists have had such a profound and therapeutic effect on me. Judging from your great reaction to this performance, I think you'll enjoy the ride too. Subbed!

[@CreativePhotoWS]

Word of caution. Ren has lots of light stuff, but some that hit pretty hard. Be good to yourself and choose carefully on days that are a bit tougher. Secondly, there are VERY specific versions of the songs that his base want you to react to so to save you the endless ’wrong version’ comments on your feed ask people to leave a link to the version they want and your life will be a tad easier. Great reaction mate. Stayed to the end. Subbed for more.

[@reachmeorteachme]

All wise words. Thank you so much for your support

[@cathrinewitty6749]

I and all the Ren fans would say that you weren’t ready to hear this a year ago, your time to hear it and its message is now 😊

[@stevekeale4395]

Great reaction, looking forward to your Ren Journey.
