Ren - Violet's Tale (Rock Artist Reaction)

[@roems6396]

Their mother died, and their father went to prison for murder, so they were separated and became wards of the state. Jenny inherited her mother’s tendency to stay still and silent when she was frightened, and that killed her, just like it killed her mother. Screech inherited his father’s anger and violence upon being ignored. They “aligned side by side” in birth and in death.

Ren is Amazing. Bless the MF UK

[@grabble7605]

That's a load of pretentious gatekeeping bullshit but sure. It's not like you could appreciate Ren without being an elitist twat about it or anything.

[@LetsGoEers3]

@kellymccann9540you are underestimating what Ren is gonna pull off. I believe he will have some radio hits someday! Somehow. I know what you mean, but Ren is blowing up more very day!

[@LetsGoEers3]

Fire!!! 🔥

[@DragoMcDragonFace]

When he enters the hallway you can hear his voice echoing off the walls, his live one shot takes are something special to see.

[@carrytheflag3498]

Great call. I'm surprised that isn't acknowledged more. The acoustic change in the hall is amazing. Cheers PJP!

[@valkyrie1066]

So good, the hallways, the staircase.....I am amazed at how he uses the locational sound properties to add to the story. The echos, the sirens in the distance....not a SECOND wasted. Even moments of silence are like used like punctuation marks.

[@tweetay03]

It's the simple truth.. A abused and killed mom ends it with her last breath to save her child. The twins got separated by birth and both ended up in the statistics of a child without a good support system ending dead on the streets. I was almost that mom! I got lucky and my daughter too. We both survived and escaped... But not without scars or trauma

[@MrAssassin010]

If you take the Tale of Jenny as happening at the time of release, 2019, and Violet, 2005... That means Jenny and James were 14 when they died. Also what color is in the middle of black and blue? It's Violet.

[@KutsugeMindUrmoks]

In Jenny's tale it also says that Screech was 14 years old

[@asiandraven5240]

damn i'm 14 and this is deep!

[@Malfehzan]

Born of Violet, or born of violence?

[@DukeOfTwist]

Jenny was Violated as a child & suffered a Violent death. Violence travelled through three generations.

[@FabrizzioLaroca]

So... Jenny and Screech lied side by side, two times... One in life and one in death.

[@Maxvicious2]

Dude that's a awesome observation wow , holy shit that really is a trip !! thank you

[@rosie_tee]

He did this live production. A select group of fans were met at the station by lads in balaclavas. We were taken through Brighton lanes to the set where these were filmed. We past jenny laying still on the concrete cordoned off with police ushering us on. We were met by Ren who stunningly performed all 3 tales live best shit EVER!

[@analisasmith7927]

Lucky you!!

[@cesarcarvalhod1100]

That’s Epic…

[@mldkenny]

What an amazing experience!

[@cassiex2559]

As someone who grew up abused and around domestic violence and then experienced dv personally, even when pregnant.. this triggered my PTSD in a huge massive way but I had to power through and listen because regardless of Violet is a real woman or not, her story is so real for so many woman! Some of us become survivors but some, like Violet, die victims, if not by the man’s own hands then by the mental scars that will never leave us.. this song is so much more than music and I pray it helps at least one woman leave and at least one man to reconsider his behaviour 🙏🏻❤

[@urielsvk]

i fucking love watching the internet discovering this guy :D

[@Maxvicious2]

I like the reactions more than the original. spent hours upon hours w/ Hi ren reactions

[@BairyHall]

The subtle "Rewinding of time" where he slowly goes down the guitar at the beginning, and again at 11:20 going up to unrewind and tell the end of the tale is absolutely genius, i love it.

[@supertuscans9512]

Me too! Some of his stuff I get instantly but some of it it takes a while for the penny to drop. This one I got instantly.

[@aaronfoulk9849]

Seeing your heartfelt and genuine reactions to #REN over the past days, just goes to show what an absolute accomplished Storyteller and Talent REN is. Glad we all come together in witnessing a true genius unraveling for all of us to see. Liked your authenticity and subscribed. Thank you for sharing RENs music.

[@Medicinemen100]

Exactly why i have subscribed to your channel!!

[@andreacollins3204]

Just saw ren say he’s in Canada now doing an intensive medical thing for 6 months and he has pre recorded lots of stuff so here’s to a new life ren ❤️❤️

[@fourcornersofbrighton]

He mentioned somewhere (I forget where) that he spent a few weeks just banging his fingers on the wood of the guitar & strengthening his muscles, to be able to pull these off acoustically. If you have the time, there's a live version of this done as a single concert. He adds a few lines in between the songs to tie it all together.

He does cover some pretty difficult subjects and I have to be in the right head space to listen because I’m not mentally stable but he gives me goosebumps every time. I love your reactions. I’m glad you reacted to Hi Ren so I found you 😅

[@JensRandolff]

Having essentially been a total recluse for the past 13 years, these reaction videos are the closest thing to sharing my passion for good music with others, and your reaction did not disappoint. And I agree, Ren is a genius. Ren will be releasing his newest song, “Sick Boi,” on January 19. He is currently in Canada for more treatments but said that he prepared a lot of music ahead of time to be released over the next 12 months that he expects to be gone.

[@abnormaltexan]

Welcome to the Ren obsession. I Found his music last summer. It immediately gets under your skin, down the rabbit hole you go... where it stops nobody knows...enjoy the ride, just when you think you know what to expect 😏 yeah no. Unpredictable, beautiful, Raw, honest, powerful next level artist. No one else can hit the same. There's great music, then there is Ren & we simply don't have a word for his mad talent.

[@vanessashaffer7788]

💯 agree.. even Eminem said he's "afraid of this musician" bc he's THAT good.. he knows he has something (like Eminem does/did).. I love this dude so much.. I'm definitely "down the rabbit hole," and this reaction video brought it to me, so ty.. dark, deep shit.. wow..

You did an excellent reaction. REN’s talent seems to have no boundaries. He can bring us uplifting music, break our hearts, leave us mindblown, or just give us a lighthearted vibe. It’s all done equally well and he gives each performance 100% each and every time.

Violet. My Gods the guitar.....the third part of the trilogy. 65 year old RENegade! Such a sad, but poetic tragedy. Just him and his guitar and a very attentive cameraman. No, I didn't miss the camera work either!!!!! I'm absolutely devoted. HIS VOICE. The acting out of the stories, the Shakespearian level of word smithing....not a bit of fluff in any performance of his. Every. Single. Note. Jenny/Screech/Violet, 13 minutes, three full life stories.

[@spudamus]

I found Ren a few years ago and he is a lyrical master

[@elizabethpearson5504]

I know you’ll probably not read this, but as a woman who suffered abuse, I appreciate how horrified you are. ❤

[@seanachim-DataScience]

I'm so glad that you watched it in the right order. Your reaction was what I wanted to watch because it is exactly how I felt. I truly think that the perfect artists to collaborate would be Lin-Manuel Miranda and REN. I think that Ren is a Shakespearean/Beethoven Artist that is ramping up to writing full length relevant Operetic Musicals that can be put in the same calibre as Hamilton. No take a few days break from REN then react to Money Game part1 THEN Part 2 - in that order please

[@mhairibarrie4866]

I always feel like i have sat through a therapy session... he takes you into places in your mind like no other, he unbelievably accurate. I hope he makes it massive!

[@greggary7217]

I’ve watched the trilogy a few times now. It’s brilliant in so many ways. We all have seen how many influences are in Ren’s work. To me he’s revived the image and sound of the medieval wandering minstrel, the original musical story tellers. As for the story itself, the only way I can describe it is - “Shakespearean”. I’m not putting him on a pedestal with The Bard (I’d never so burden anyone) but the drama, human failings and most of all the ironic human tragedy, all the essential ingredients. I’m sure it’s intentional of course. Ren is a master. And this is one of his best pieces.

[@probablyenzoh]

This trilogy was one of the most intense things I had to listen to in a long time. Ren really has a talent. Also thanks a lot for your great reactions to this entire trilogy and taking us with you on the wild journey that is this god damn story.

[@bjtmagician_]

This felt like i was watching for the first time all over again. Each comment you made along the line, i was like "you're not ready.... just you wait"

[@valkyrie1066]

WHY would he BOTHER with the radio? His audience would miss 85% of his performance, that's why! You have to experience it...see, feel, get covered in the filth and washed clean. HUGELY RELATABLE. I'm sure you're supposed to sit there stunned for an hour considering your life choices.

This guy is the poster boy for what a musician is. Great singer, great story telling, amazing guitar etiquette, perfect timing. He's a prodigy in the making

Thankyouuuu, for all your Ren reactions, i just get on this natural high watching reactions by people that get struck by Ren and his music, in a simular way as it did to myself. Make sure you listen to some busking on the streets of Brighton with his band The big push. And I think their rooftop cover Bongo by Manu Chao will make you happy too. Appreciate you bro.

[@elefantetandempsichicodagu3026]

[@CreaChose]

Hi there! I loved your reaction to 'Hi Ren', I subscribed right after it and I'm so glad I now get to see you react to this amazing trilogy. ♥ It is beautiful to see you getting so touched and moved by these tales that, even though I don't think they're based on real events (I sure hope not, but even if they're not, the fact that they're sadly so 'down to earth' as we all know these things happens makes them somehow real for us while listening to it, I think...), really got me feeling for the characters they depicted and their tragic ending. Ren has such talent at storytelling, writing and... at everything related to music, really. I'm really happy for you that you got the chance to stumble upon this amazing artist, and I'm looking forward to see you react to more of his art if you find yourself going deliberately down the rabbit whole as so many of us did!

[@BooksRebound]

Totally different vibes musically, but Ren reminds me a lot of Joanna Newsom. Theyre both doing like 17th century bard shit, creating these insanely vivid ballads. Especially the beginning of this song. Parts of his guitar playing before he starts singing sound a lot like the music a french troubadour would play, or something. Ren is def one of the best and most creative artists Ive come across.

[@christygill1632]

I had the same reaction as you did, throughout the song and then at the end when he absolutely blew my mind! They came in to the world on the same night, side by side, and went out on the same night, one street apart from each other. Each representing their father/mother dynamic. This was absolutely insane and pure artistic genius! Loved seeing your reaction to it and the appreciation you have for all of the elements at work in this masterpiece.

[@lesterparker1594]

I’ve been watching reactions to this trilogy for weeks. Yours is probably the best. You caught everything, and I could feel your emotion. Great video

[@liammcm826]

“I dont know id the story is real” it happens every day on this earth

[@supertuscans9512]

The more you listen to REN’s lyrics, the more audio symbolism you suddenly get (or maybe it’s just me being slow). I only just twigged the symbolism in “ she finally broke her silence” but at the same time she’s in hospital, she’s 9 months gone, which is when a woman’s Water’s break just prior to giving birth. So she broke her silence rather than her waters breaking. It really is off the charts clever.
