Ren - Hi Ren (Official Music Video) - UK Reaction

[@Deeb390]

18 months ago I sat there in tears, staring at the screen, feeling like I’d been punched in the gut and stabbed in the heart after watching this masterclass of storytelling. My first glimpse of Ren and his artistic genius. I’m 60+ and have never been so interested and invested in an artist and his story. He has done something great and he will be remembered not just for the music but for his message of hope, kindness, acceptance and humility.

[@JohnnyReactions]

Music is more powerful than people give credit for! Thank you for sharing 🙏

[@Oitsugina93]

One of the best quotes I have heard after 1000's of reactions to Hi Ren, "Move aside the Mona Lisa, put the masterpiece Hi Ren there! ❤❤❤

[@JohnnyReactions]

So good!

[@926johnh]

Great reaction-- consider this: it's not 2 versions of REN here. It's actually 4. There's RENs anxious side, his meek side, battling. Then there is HOPE, and finally- there is the true REN, the one that has learned to live with BOTH the anxious and meek as we all do, together as one human being. That's why the lights flash at the end as he's coping with both the good and the bad as one

[@Nanersbananers]

REN’s lyrics have helped me more than any medical professional. He is a true poet and truth teller.

[@Punatik]

If you want to hear Ren’s response to people saying he can’t write pop, radio worthy, stuff you need ‘Uninvited’. Very cheeky and actually probably his dirtiest but because it’s pop sounding it’s what they played on the radio when Sick Boi hit #1. 😂

[@rileyzoinks803]

can confirm that last bit did help so many people including me. I have it written down in the notes on my phone and will often read when im close to giving up

[@Hana-fe5ws]

me too! :)

[@payntpot7623]

I have a list of Ren quotes, from various songs, in my phone.

[@eddieovation]

Good job...humanity leaks from you..I'm in

[@ambercimburek6872]

Ren is awesome. He is doing self counseling by singing like this. He is one of my favorite artists

[@marydelaney9113]

Half the ocean is made up of tears shed by people watching Hi Ren. 😊. It is indeed a masterpiece. Nice reaction. 😊

[@payntpot7623]

OMG, I was just about to send you to go and watch Complete's song Jordan. Snap!!

[@JohnnyReactions]

Another masterpiece! Ive had the pleasure of meeting complete, such a good guy

[@lulumeto]

New sub here. It's interesting to see a reactor to Hi Ren that has actually reacted to Ren before. Best I can tell, you haven't done the Tales of Jenny and Screech full version with Violet's Tale. Im here for it!

[@helenjarvis7755]

Probably should read comment section in Hi Ren and Sick Boi for peoples stories of how his music and lyrics have helped them, very inspiring ❤ Great reaction

[@JohnnyReactions]

I have, i read after ive made videos! So many personal and powerful stories

[@Pixplayz]

He DID find the wheelchair 😅 it was dumped in the place where they filmed the video for the hunger, nice insightful reaction, you aren't the first to nearly shed a tear

[@JohnnyReactions]

🙏🙏🙏

[@mcguigance]

Brilliant reaction.. just found you..pretty sure you are Dave Ghans love child 😂I'm sure you've heard this before

[@Sheilla357]

Not Good vs Evil, it's the light vs. the dark which is inside each of us. Beautiful Chaos at the end. Tears are allowed. I've seen more grown ass men cry over Ren's art. Way back in Love Music, Pt. 1, Ren began manifesting greatness (2015/16ish). Love Music has 4 parts and all of them are fun and lyrically dense and great beats. It's much lighter fare with deep messages, well except for 4, it's simply fun and naughty..... I was introduced to Hi Ren by an heavy metal reactor who went in blind and not knowing anything of Ren. You could see during the reaction a transformation in his person as it spoke deeply to him Thereafter he began his hero's journey and is now living his best life in Hawaii with a wife and beautiful new baby. He had been pretty gnarled before and now he's a Zen master. The power of music, the power of Ren. Transforming lives for the better.

[@simplysimon9868]

That's Viktus in the Pig mask 😁 also raps and a nice fella. 9 minutes of masterpiece that's hit so many globally. Watched hundreds of reactions now and still good to see everyone's take and starting the Ren rabbit hole 😁👊 Just subbed from the UK man.

[@LeeAnneCooper-z4k]

Johnny,, you are the absolute best reactor on KZbin, I think 💯 I love complete and Ren and your words are spot on. Amazing work Johnny ❤

[@JohnnyReactions]

Wow, thank you!

[@LeeAnneCooper-z4k]

@JohnnyReactions No, thank you 🙏❤️

[@LeeAnneCooper-z4k]

@JohnnyReactions just been and, revisited your Kerser reactions. You are the best reactor to date 💯 I'll be looking for more. Just have a few cabins to get ready for bookings. If you're ever over this way, I'll put you and family up. My cabins are in the Victorian Grampians ❤️ to you

[@instigatorartworks]

I just saw your Hi Ren reaction, and put this journal entry of Ren's as my comment to that reaction. This is Ren's Journal. ~~~~~~jAN 01, 202~~rEN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Up until I was 9 years old, I would intermittently hear a voice in my head that was not my own. The voice was distinctly different to mine, and always negative. It would self criticize or urge me to do things I knew to be morally wrong. The most peculiar thing about the voice was that it took no effort on my behalf to produce. My own thoughts always felt like there was a process that required effort to bring them to the forefront of my mind, this voice appeared as though it was spoken by another. The sentences felt predetermined like they had already been constructed. I remember very vividly at 9 years old, becoming very frustrated with the voice. I stood in my back yard, internally screaming at the voice to be silent again and again, and it did. In a flash there was silence, to the point where my head felt like an empty room. I wasn't used to the quiet and that voice never returned. It almost felt lonely in my head. When I got older I had intermittent bouts with auditory hallucinations where I would hear perfect symphonies, usually at night when drifting off to sleep. They were so clear that they sounded like they were emanating from a radio in the corner of my room. I knew they weren't there, but for some reason they never came with the feeling of fear. I also recall sitting on a bus at the age of 15, and hearing the sound of a crowded room, with about 100 voices chattering away, I was the only person apart from the driver on the bus. These experiences were always very brief, and few and far between. My last hallucination was during an intense bout of psychosis in 2015, and was my first visual hallucination. I was walking down a pavement after jumping out my mums car in a crossroads in a moment of frustration and distress with my condition. I was trying to run from myself. What appeared to be a homeless man with a dark complexion approached me, and asked me what was wrong. I explained that I had been sick most my life, and I wasn't sure I had the strength to continue. He looked at me, and smiled and told me 'everything is going to be okay in the end Ren.' I had not told him my name. There was something so overpoweringly sincere about this very simple message, which brought with it an overwhelming feeling of inner peace, and in a flash, he vanished. My rational brain always linked these experiences to what the doctors have told me, that there are parts of my brain compromised by the autoimmunity in my body. That the myelin sheaths surrounding the complex electrical system that conduct my thoughts were damaged and compromised, causing these lucid experiences that I knew did not exist inside the physical world. The part of me that edges away from logical and rational thought always attributed these thoughts to some kind of otherworldly intervention, that made my thoughts the battleground of some spiritual tug of war. For a long time I never really acknowledged this part of myself, for with it brought the danger and stigma of sounding like a crazy person. I decided with my latest release, to the best of my ability, to capture and express this chess match of thought. Hi Ren comes out in just over 24 hours. I can't wait for you all to hear it.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~MY WORDS."I just saw your Hi Ren reaction, and put this journal entry of Ren's as my comment to that reaction."...ALL REN....FROM THIS POINT ON...jAN 01, 2024~~rEN~~~~~~~As an artist who also struggles w/my health I think that Ren's

[@ambercimburek6872]

Im studying to get my masters in counseling. I have also had mental health issues before. Sometimes medications help but you can simply just rely on medications but also make healthy changes in your life.

[@marydelaney9113]

A lot of people are anti drug, but it depends on your issue I think. I have an anxiety/panic disorder and I couldn't cope without my medication. Unfortunately Ren and a lot of people have had awful experiences with psych drugs.

[@Irmelinis]

Wow, awesome reaction! You've got a sub from me :D I love sharing the experience of Ren's music with others and engaging reactors like you are the best! 🤩

[@JohnnyReactions]

Heard this last February - didn’t totally get it first listen. There were about 5k likes then - discovered reaction vids then, mostly yank. Love seeing more and more get him here now. ❤️👍🏽👍☘️

[@heartensoul5582]

I see the last part was more of a celebration, a freedom, a release

[@stevecody9878]

Great reaction 👍 Cheers pal 🍻😀

[@silversong4VR]

Confirmed, one take. :)

[@analisasmith7927]

One audio take - the video is put together from the 4 takes they had time for before they were kicked out by the landlord.

[@DeJay7]

"What's your expertise?" "I'm British" ahh kinda reaction

[@JohnnyReactions]

hahaha

[@DeJay7]

@@JohnnyReactions Just finished the video (yes, 9 hours later, I was doing other stuff I guess) Really good reaction, honestly, better than I expected and, I don't know how to put it, you put something to the table in your own way, I've watched like 13 reactions of this song and yours was still interesting and new.

Hey Johnny, love your work! Can i ask a special favour that you create a Ren folder so i can find your ren reactions easier? Im worried i may have missed some x

[@JohnnyReactions]

i shall definitely do this, ive been away but ill get it done over the weekend!

[@nancydenis8059]

Your reaction is beautifully insightful and genuine, I am astounded you haven't more Ren followers on this one! This 'RENegade' has 20:45 subbed. 😁💙

[@JohnnyReactions]

Thank you so much!!

[@NightFogFilms]

14:15 I was like "Don't do it. Don't do it." Then you did it. You paused it. Damn. LOL

[@JohnnyReactions]

Hahha sorry

[@lunadyana3330]

I believe the term is sublimation

[@Codex7777]

If you want to say something, it's best to pause it, always with a rewind, rather than talking over it. That way you won't miss anything. Believe me, when it's Ren, you don't want to miss anything. :)

[@pollyg562]

you sound british but you must have OG came from east europe as you look like half the men in my family

[@dave.james007]

If you do the tales of Jenny and screech make sure you do the full version 13:30 minutes of 🧠💥 awesome reaction 👍👍 also check out Ren's other KZbin channel called ren makes stuff Harry Mack does a tribute to Ren and it's fantastic ✌️

[@JohnnyReactions]

Really,.il have to watch that!

[@dave.james007]

@@JohnnyReactions on the video section it's 6th up from the bottom enjoy

[@Codex7777]

It's not about split personalities...

[@ericstorr9880]

Nice reaction. Are you from Bradford by any chance?

[@JohnnyReactions]

I was actually born in Bradford, i live in Halifax

[@ericstorr9880]

@@JohnnyReactions I'd recognise that accent anywhere. Grew up in Allerton 👍

[@workingit3055]

You paused it before the other side even spoke talking about split personality saying you only watched that much but that's Bullshit. How can you call split personality before the other side completed a word? Call this an ANALYSIS because it's not a reaction.

[@JohnnyReactions]

Its not bullshit, its how its been edited.
