[@DevonTuck]

One fitting term for Ren's music is "Bardcore", which is really quite perfect. His local fans refer to him as "The Bard of Brighton"

[@jaimiew294]

He has said that he does one take recordings, so it's live guitar, live singing and all 1 shot. He's incredible.

[@jimmyhughes5392]

in violets tale, he is playing more than just the guitar, he his playing with the building's resonances, he's a genius.

[@thatcanadianwhitetrashguy]

I can't believe You Played the Wrong One It's called The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full) It Flows together as a Story

[@nondetection8882]

A detail about the behaviour of Jenny and Screech: Jenny being silent and still when faced with danger just like her mother and Screech being prone to violence just like his father.

[@jonneateh5815]

And violet the colour of bruise's

[@IratePuffin]

Someone else mentioned this too… Idk if it was done intentionally by Ren or not but neat detail if it was… Screech can’t get help from the two people most important to him, his buddy Patrick and his gf because they’re hooking up behind his back. That’s why both were busy. 😯

[@supertuscans9512]

I only twigged this metaphorical symbolism this afternoon but when violet is in hospital, she’s 9 months gone, but instead of her water’s breaking she broke her silence. Unbelievably powerful symbolism.

[@CedricandBrian]

I have to agree with you on that Erik!! Thank you for watching our channel. - C -

[@Behem0thZz]

it is!

[@NoNudes]

The most briliant thing Ren did here is capturing how abusers hold YOU accountable for what's going on in their own heads. That's why you with time will go silent, cuz you learn to know that no matter what you say or do, you will be punished for whatever thought or feeling your abuser has. You don't matter anymore and that's how you get stuck.

[@CedricandBrian]

That was profound, and well said my friend. We all need to be careful of toxic and/or narcissistic people, and make the choice not to associate with them. Thank you for watching our channel. - C -

[@somerawlime]

this trilogy, story-wise, really feels like a shakespearean tragedy. it's fuckin incredible

[@CedricandBrian]

It truly does have a Shakespearean vibe to it, doesn’t it? Thank you for taking the time to comment, and thanks for watching our channel. - C -

[@ronnieharford3326]

[@villanelle8888]

Ren is a medieval bard for modern times. Wonderful.

[@mattgreen7692]

Ren is our generation's "The Bard," and yes, I'm equating Ren with Shakespeare.

[@mlemons1970]

Ren was a busker, and was actually discovered and signed by Sony. That is why he is so comfortable performing live. Shortly after being signed, he was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia, and was immediatly dropped by Sony. It was a few years before he was actually properly diagnosed with Lyme's disease, but only after the psychotropic drugs had nearly driven him insane.

[@Spotastic9]

Wow... my wife was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder when she is actually autistic and she is still going through the problems from the drugs she was forced to take (while in mental institutions). I've been watching the various reactions to Hi Ren and that's been the only one I've seen of his before this one now and I didn't know all of the bits of his background. That is so fucked up and even closer to home.

[@omnomshibob]

Close. The later stages of Lymes disease, if left untreated, can cause auditory and visual hallucinations. Of course the side effects of unneeded medications certainly played a large part in the suffering as well.

[@NZWozza]

@@Spotastic9 His latest song 'sick boi' goes deeper into this also.

[@iamlovingawareness2284]

I have the same story. Misdiagnosed; treated with medication that gave me psychosis then rediagnosed based on the side effects and even more heavily medicated. This is all preteen age. To be honest he dodged a bullet with Sony. Sony is one of the most corrupt labels. Devilish almost.

[@rimothytimothy1398]

He's also currently in hospital in western Canada to potentially correct as much damage that they can and I hope beyond hope they can, because an artist like Ren does not come along often, and I selfishly don't want to deny me or the world his depth of talent.

[@coolsk8ter888]

If you didn't notice, when Ren walked out of the hospital, he did the "fast forward" sound on the guitar, to take you back to where he "rewound" the story. Such an amazing concept and execution! 🤘

[@neiladdison4457]

I love the way he does that.

[@z3r0w1ng]

My bad, you freaking nailed it. Ren is a musical genius.

[@daverich3352]

I didn't pick up on that, there's so many details you can miss, he's on another level altogether.

[@ronniejones4423]

I've watched a ton of these reacts and this is the first time anyone's mentioned the guitar return to 2005. Ren is brilliant.

[@williamalexander7481]

You don't need to hide your emotion. It's okay to cry and be moved.

[@Magicalmetric]

Jenny's tale was written after Ren read about a 14 year old boy going down for murder and thinking how crazy that was. The other two tales came were written later and purely Ren's brain child. Both Jenny and Screech's tales were written before Ren had the idea for the plot of Violet's

[@sideshow6732]

There is an English tradition of old known as "the wandering minstrel" someone who would come to town and play and walk and sing about the news and scandals and current affairs of the day in a romantic or satirical way. This appears to be a modern twist on that.

[@chrisgreenwell3404]

Ren allows people to play the entire video through and actually encourages it :)

[@kiaraninkampoop8968]

(Sorry to be that guy) but in defense of the reactors (I read this as a on another reaction video comment) apparently it may be the case that KZbin makes these reactor dudes they have to pause the video intermittently due to copyright or some shiz ✌️

[@kiaraninkampoop8968]

Oh sorry bruv just watched the video and the reactors actually state clearly that they’re doing this for Ren’s sake.. very respectful @CedricandBrian and thank you to commenter for highlighting that’s Ren is ok for ppl to let his videos run 😅

[@jessjess161]

It makes it worse when you realise they're twins, not just brother and sister (as if that isn't bad enough). But it's so true when you say abused as a kid and finds it in adulthood in the form of romantic partners. Unfortunately it happens too often. It's almost like when you're broken as a child it puts a neon sign above your head a you grow up inviting those types of people in

[@RandomShinyThoughts]

Because abused people typically don't know what healthy relationships are supposed to be like as they've never experienced or had them modelled for them in their childhoods and the bar for what is "better" than what they've been through is so low that behaviour most people wouldn't stand for get's a pass because "Well it's not as bad as [childhood trauma]" There's also a thing with abusive relationships where they cycle between the massive lows of the abuse and massive highs of being lovebombed to "apologise" for the abusive behaviour and being promised it won't happen again. When a person becomes used to the cycle they tend to become uncomfortable or bored in healthy relationships because they're not used to the consistency of being treated well and they're not getting the huge dumps of adrenaline/dopamine that go with those extream peaks of emotion.

[@LadyThunderbird63]

Jennys feeling that something was not right , could of been that twin connection without her knowing she had a twin it would of just been a gut feeling something was wrong, and im hoping screeches girlfriend was with patrick.

[@tinadavis5626]

I figured it out when he said Violet was pregnant and that they were twins. What just snapped to me was their names; Jenny & James. This song is so haunting, disturbing and absolutely brilliant. This kid deserves all the fame that comes from this. It’s nice to have a Bard in our times.

[@dfktestbot]

James?

RIGHT?? I cannot multitask to save my life. I can’t even sing along to a song and tap my foot to the beat at the same time - if I try to do both then both end up a mess. 😅

[@martinbluethner39]

Did you guys notice? At the very end of Screech's tale Ren intonates half a bar of Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to heaven' - a perfect ending for the tragedy of the poor twins. Ren's a f...ing genius !!!

[@olliemartin6775]

I thought I caught that but assumed it was just accidentally copying. Didn't peace that together somehow

[@TerryDuo]

I've watched this trilogy many times and picked up different nuances each time. How he uses the acoustics of the rooms to his advantage is impressive. Uses the spiral staircase for the echo effect for example. Then after Violet is beaten, he fast-forwards back to 2005. Crazy.

[@villanelle8888]

fast-forwards back to... lol

[@xx1CRU]

It is crazy how you pick up on soooo many subtle but intentional details that Ren used throughout the trilogy each time you hear it. It feels like everytime I listen to it I'm like "Wait! Ren did this or that.."😅 Good point. Ren is a fk'n GENIUS!! ✌️❤️!!

[@Departmentofnaturalresources]

I think at the end of violets tale he goes back through Jenny and screech’s streets and the twins lives relatively ended side by side also being just one street over

[@JohnDoe-ds6pr]

Ren says the trillogy is his proudest work....and then he wrote Hi Ren....

[@leejones1319]

How he uses the space to reflect the audio he wants. Just unreal.

[@Biscuit-Nomster]

When he walks into that staircase in Violet's tale, it always gives me the shivers.

[@garywillow6578]

It is the breaks of silence like when he comes of the phone screaming (pause) resumes a beautiful riff. Creative.

[@Penddraig7]

This is my favourite by Ren, the cycle of a abuse is one of the biggest issues facing society and it becomes like a ripple effect to the point where the ripples bounce of the constraints and end up crashing into each other and causing even more chaos. One persons actions can have a knock on effect that spans generations and decades and can cause knock on trauma to those they never knew and the victims of that trauma can go down a dark path and create their own ripples. The cycle repeats, it’s no good just placing a bandaid on that one ripple, because the ripple has already created ripples of its own, you have to prevent those ripples from even happening but as long as we as a society only deal with the issues in society by placing a bandaid on everything, nothing will ever change. Prevention is better than the cure.

[@GarnetJ]

Yeah the first time I heard it, I thought it was 40 as well … at least until he kept referring to him as a boy. I definitely missed the significance of the “two zero zero five” initially. What is even more tragic is we don’t realize Jenny is only 14 until after we know that they were twins 😿 So such a young girl walking the streets of London a thousand times in high heeled shoes 😕 it’s no wonder she wanted to escape

[@RebornLeveller]

This guy has so much talent it's unreal. I can rap while strumming some basic simple chords (like Eminem's "Stan" for example) but what Ren's doing is on another level - many levels above in every way. I've never seen anyone play guitar that well while rapping and singing - and walking and acting - and switching up the flow and style so often - and doing it all in one take. Sheesh! He must be from another planet. He would probably make a great movie actor and screenplay writer too. As an aside, the cinematography deserves some praise too. These videos contain some of the most precise and perfected hand-held camera work I've seen in a music video - and better even than many cinematic movies.

Many Details: - "Jenny walked these streets 1000 times before" and "still as a statue in high heal shoes" - She is a hooker at 14 and she's been working the streets for a long time. - She was dragging her feet, she wanted to escape - Jenny is unhappy with her life, wanting to do something different - she escaped but not the way she was thinking - Jenny and James a naming pair that hints at their connection, both 14 years old - Screech's nickname hinting that he is wild and prone to brashness, that he acts like that alot, to gain the nickname. - Screech gained his father & grandfathers nature, prone to drugs, alcohol and violence - Jenny froze still as a lady shaped steatite - Jenny gained the quiet and nervous nature of her mother, making her lock up in bad situations - Slice the rosie off your cheeks - probably a reach but rose to a violet Screech tale - His mate Patrick and his Gf are both busy, therefore busy together banging in the flat above him or GF house. - James and Jenny, lay dead one street apart - bringing the image of two babies born together, 2 incubators side by side. Violet's Tale - Violets name an homage to her beatings - Violet was abused by her father, mother was drinker and ignored it. Slight hint that her mother was quiet too. - She has twins Boy and Girl, fraternal twins meaning one egg was fertilized by Violets dad, the other by her BF Stevie - This shows that she was still getting abused by her dad and by her bf having sex pretty soon after getting together.

This is simply brilliant on another level. I think you nailed it. It's musical theater. Love the raw reaction to it, and I bet Ren probably does too based off some of his comments on other reactors videos.

I am following up on my comment to your review on Ren. As I stated I was taken when I first watched the hi Ren video. Not only is he an amazingly talented musician and story teller, the public awareness that he has brought to these type of illnesses that use to be sweeper under the rug. People were ashamed if they had a family member with this type of illness. When I listened to this trilogy (which I heard it first on your show) I realized this was not a one hit wonder. For him to be able to do this over and over at such a level of excellence. Wow what can I say to do this comment/review justice. All I can say is Thank You for turning me on to this amazing story brought to us by this amazing artist/musician who just so happens to have struggled with mental illness or a great actor who played that part. Which ever the case my be Thank You Ren for these amazing songs/stories. You have made me stop in my tracks and take notice! Thanks Cedric and Brian for these reviews which I agree with so many of your sentiments. I am enjoying watching your show as I am a new follower. I look forward to watching more. This trilogy is going to be hard to beat.

Chalk Outlines is a really great one also.

I also noticed how the lights don't just flicker at the "evil" side but at any bad thoughts. When the "good" side says "I call the shots" that's a pretty abusive though and the lights flicker and at the "I am you, you are me" the "you are me" switches to the "good side" camera angle and the lights still flicker. He isn't just chastising the "evil" thoughts, but any "bad" thought, even when the "good" side has it.
