Ren - The Tale of Jenny and Screech | First time hearing | Reaction

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

This song reminded me of my aunts life, where she was always doing drugs and always in a terrible relationship with someone who was laying their hands on her and beating her day in day out and so these songs hit me fairly hard, and it's not easy to get emotion like that out of me 😢. Thank you everyone for checking it out and let me know what I should be checking out next! Stay happy and safe!

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

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Oh damn! Didn't even think about that!!! Shit that's even darker!

[@thomasgoldschmidt298]

Ren read in a newspaper about a young prostitute (she walked the streets about a thousand times and wanted to escape, can you blame) killed by a boy. This was his inspiration for the first song, the other tales were written jears apart from each other. He transformed the story he read into these masterpieces.

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

That's crazy, and that's why he's such an amazing artist

[@brendabromley5528]

You are a true gentleman! Please keep up and continue down the Ren rabbit hole. He has much to teach us and he is a true poet of life in the 21st century💗

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

I definitely will and I really appreciate the kind words thank you 😊

[@simonbennett3171]

Loved your reaction. Like a lot of your comments I've seen loads of these. So far you are the only one I've seen that spotted the liquid nitrogen line! Brilliant, looking forward to your next reaction.

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Thank you much appreciated

Another RENegade subscribing to watch your journey down the Ren rabbit hole.

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Thank you very much I appreciate it 😊

I remember being so upset & angry listening to “Violet’s Tale”, Stevie beating Violet to death. I still tear up listening to the Tales. The performance by Ren here is Epic. My second favorite song(s) by Ren. Great reaction!!

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Yeah it's definitely a lot to take in all in 1 sitting, thank you I appreciate the kind words!

[@ianrose56]

This is the best reaction I've seen ever to the tales.!!! You was spot on with the medieval sounds,its more so prevalent in Violet's tales,those two riffs before the hammer on, tap on and, pull offs part. You got the storyline from the off,a lot of people don't pick it up so quickly, you missed the rewind the hands of time rewind that Ren did up the neck of the guitar, and the forward-wind at the end of the spoken word part once his outside the building. You'll catch that on your watch through. Again really great reaction this UK 🇬🇧 Renagade enjoyed watching it.👍👍

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! Means a lot, yeah I tend to miss something here and there but I always go back and listen to the songs over and over lol

[@MrConduct]

This one cuts deep. I'm so sorry to hear of your Aunties pain. Take care bud

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Thank you very much I appreciate that! Thanks for the support

[@dubbayabird6680]

Ive heard this song countless times and it never gets any easier. I hate to hear that about your aunt and hope shes doing better now. Great reaction. Subbed

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Yes she's much better now thank you, and I really appreciate that!

[@DogDocKat]

Very heavy songs but so masterfully told by Ren. Unfortunately, similar situations happen so frequently. Really great reaction. Looking forward to the next one ❤❤

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Thank you! And yes unfortunately probably happens a lot more then people know or would like to admit 😨

[@mama-llama4527]

Your humanity tears ❤. Thank you for sharing .

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Thank you for being here!

[@pointlesslab4179]

Saw the flinching when it got violent in Violet’s tale, I felt the same way when I first saw it. Hard to watch. The tale starts dark but you don’t realise how truly dark it is until the end. It is about inter-generational violence with the poisoned chalice being passed down from parents to children. Ren was inspired to write this after reading a newspaper article about a young prostitute who was killed. There is a more fun Ren if you want a break from the dark stuff!

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Oh wow, that's quite the thing to inspire a song damn brutal

[@Tansen_]

I'm so excited for your video to come out hun

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Thanks very much It means a lot!

[@ratkopopov3035]

Violet tale😢 like i was mute witness

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Yeah its so rough 😞

[@cathykasaback3728]

These are tough for sure. Great reaction!

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Thanks very much! They really really are

[@Vmcf1968]

it tears me up too.

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Yeah it's crazy good

[@HS-ol4zl]

Great reaction to a genius' masterpiece...!

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

I appreciate that!

[@janpulliambracey1732]

❤ men that aren't afraid to feel❤❤❤

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

It was a very moving and hard songs to hear

[@Danielle-ed9kt]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Tokin420]

Loved this. Check out Chalk Outlines the live version by Ren. Its amazing

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Will do for sure thank you

[@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. Ren is special.

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

I totally agree 100%

[@MsCheesemonster13]

It is upsetting, and you would have to have a heart of stone not to be affected in some way by these tales. My mum told us that crying for yourself is self-pity and unacceptable, but shedding a tear for the plight of others shows that you really care.

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Wow your mother is/was a wise woman, I'm gonna steal that line haha 😄, I appreciate that

[@LHartman-gj7dl]

That's a great reaction. Sending you best wishes from the uk. 🖤

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Thanks very much I really appreciate that

[@troy9er]

Subbing! Keep reaching to Ren theirs so much more!!!

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Definitely will! Stay tuned, I throw in the odd other artist here and there to mix it up too!

[@judyschoonmaker7758]

I really enjoy your thoughtful reactions. New sub here! Look forward to more! 😊

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Thank you I really appreciate that!

[@AlSnoopsReid]

It might interest you to know that Ren's father plays the lute and the lyre in a group which plays 12th and 13th century court music, so I think that is where he gets some of his chord and note choices from.

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Oh that's really interesting 🤔 kinda cool

[@stacie9229]

New subscriber. Loved how you got the feel of this mesmerizing masterpiece.

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Thanks very much! Yeah thos was really emotional 😢

[@randomhandle91]

Thank you for the awesome reaction ! On a side note, did you just compare a woman to a car ? 😅

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Haha I definitely did buy we won't talk about that 🤣🤣🤣

[@sharis9095]

It's the pause.. while your brain has to fill in the history of the kids... mother died, father (probably) in prison, probably put into foster system and split up... it all goes through your brain as you try and reconcile the story. It's fascinating to watch.

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Yeah it's crazy ren did a wonderful job

[@CreativePhotoWS]

still half way through so not commenting on the whole reaction but the "Clocked out like Big Ben" I always find ironic as the clock is not called Big Ben. Ben is the bell inside the tower :)

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Yeah I knew that from something haha, but never clued in for some reason haha

[@CreativePhotoWS]

@@RetiringvirusReacts hah if an Englishman like Ren doesn’t know it’s ok for others to miss it. Still going with the reaction. Excellent sensible analysis.

[@spinalobifida]

Patrick went to see the girl Screech called.

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Oh interesting 🤔

[@tiamariamunro]

If Jenny was, as most believe, a sex worker on her way home 'at the end of her shift' the clocked out line also carries another meaning... A very empathetic reaction, this does hit hard, sorry that the themes are something that has directly touched your family.

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

I appreciate that, and didn't really think about her being a lady of the night but that makes sense 🤔 hmmm

[@meghanhallen525]

I have to know if he is a fan of sublime

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Honestly not 100%sure, I'll have to check him/them out

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

Unless that's another song of rens

[@meghanhallen525]

@@RetiringvirusReacts please check sublime out the band is from the 90s and amazing any song you choose of them will make you feel 💯

[@RetiringvirusReacts]

I'll give them a go, I was born in the 90s so I might know a bit of their stuff and not remember
