SO TRAGIC!! First Time Reaction to Ren - "The Tale of Jenny & Screech"

[@sarahsloan4456]

I can make it through the first two - Violet breaks me... and my thought was much the same, no one who is vaguely human can be emotionally ready for especially Violet...

That point at 13:56 with "I'm sure her mother knew" Stacey gets the first inkling that she may not be ready

[@DenTweed]

I had a narrator voice in my head going "Little did she know, she definitly wasn't ready" lol

[@SaSo2k]

The trilogy is one of the reasons why the Renegades call his music "BardCore". He has simply created his own genre. But now you really deserve a break from serious Ren and should also take a look at the other side of him 😉

Please watch his Mashup cover of Bob Marley’s, “I Shot The Sheriff”, Damian Marley’s, “Road To Zion”, Dead Prez, “Hip Hop”. You get see Ren perform live. A happier time. A beautiful reaction btw.

[@seth1455]

good choice, good fun on the streets with great music

[@dropbarracuda]

First off, I want to thank you for posting your reaction to the Tales. ❤ Ren's music has opened up so many doors for open, non-judgmental discussion on VERY difficult topics. I've never seen anything like it, but the comments sections for reactions to Ren's music have become places where the Renegades have connected with and spread love, support, and strength to others through shared experience. I've seen well over 100 reactions to Hi Ren and The Tales over the past year, and I can say that your reactions are among my absolute favorite because you connect with both the music and your audience so naturally. Welcome to the Renegades, you are so very welcome here.

[@davidricks7128]

Ren tells the stories and the filming of the stories are all done so well i found myself looking for the bodies laying on the ground. The saddest thing about this is the fact each of these things are happening in every country at this very moment and the cycle continues

It hits us all this hard. I like watching reactions to the trilogy and Hi Ren because these videos pull the deepest parts of us to the surface. Seeing someone else cry about the thing that made you cry and crying again with them reminds us that we are the same. Like Ren said "We must not forget that we are human beings."

[@hellscornalien8286]

I love your honest emotional reactions to Ren. I had to sub to follow you on your journey down the Ren rabbit hole. You've had the tiniest of tastes of what he's capable of just watching the two songs. Ren has a number 1 album out in the UK. He's impossible to nail down to a single Genre. He's a master of hip-hop, rap, rock, punk, reggae, bardcore, ballads, and pop. His catalogue is pretty big and then he has amazing stuff with his former band (hopefully getting back together) The Big Push. He plays the electric and acoustic guitar (obviously), piano, drums, bass & the melodica. He produces his own beats, beat-boxes sings like an angel and writes as well as anyone I've ever listened to. You've heard a couple of heavy emotional pieces. For fun songs, you should try Love Music #1, #2, #3 & #4. It's for songs all about how much he loves music. Losing It is a fun one as well. For heartfelt ballads, try his 2 collaborations with Chinchilla, How To Be Me (live) and Chalk Outlines (live) For a rock song try Fire. For hip-hop try Wicked Ways, Seven Sins and Lost All Faith. For Rap try Illest Of Our Time, Animal Flow, and The Hunger. Oh and you can't miss the 2 songs Ren did with Eden Nash, Humble and Ocean. There's tons more songs I didn't even bother listing. I haven't heard a single song that wasn't good. I can't wait to see how shocked you are when you see other styles he does. I'm glad to have stumbled upon your channel. Peace and love.

[@motostacker3321]

Appreciate your reaction. I'm a huge Ren fan but would point out that massive hard work = Talent...Ren has worked soo hard and gotten past many obstacles to get where he is. Keep up on your great reactions and hope to see more Ren amongst them.

[@McLeod2022]

He is a massive talent with an amazing crew... he on his own is top shelf but his crew, the videographers the soundscapes... the man has a Team. He might be the General but they fight the fight right alongside. His success showed when he did money game III... the man is investing in himself and his people. Never seen such an artist in my last 20 years.

[@daz7171]

Ren is the most talented artist i have ever ever heard in my life.He is an absolute genius

[@sigally]

Through your honest emotions I get relive mine. It's amazing to me how Ren can take his intention with his music and how he let's us into the world he creating. We can feel what he wants us to feel. It's unusual for me to feel connected to an artist through music and not the music through art. That's what makes Ren, so extraordinarily gifted. He is a gift to the people. It's always hard to articulate that thing Ren has.

[@McLeod2022]

Your first sentence is truth. ☮☮ & 💜💜. Thank you for making me smile and being a light in a sometimes dark room. You.. ... are fantastic. Made my day better just by being ja.

[@joshdhankins]

I read through a few comments, and didn’t immediately see anyone explaining a little more about Ren. This guy. He’s changed how I see music and songwriting and performing and music videos forever. And getting to know a bit more about him makes you appreciate his work even more. The guy has lived and experienced some difficulties that you have to know about to really understand what he’s doing. When he says in Hi Ren that he “spent half his life ill”, he’s taking about a battle with Lyme disease and misdiagnosis and the toll it took and continues to take on him. Read up a bit about his story. You won’t be able to react to every song he’s ever written, but, map out the next half dozen or so that you want to do, react to them, and then just let yourself listen to EVERYTHING else. He’s just so good. Can’t state enough how much he’s influenced the way I experience music for the last couple years. Glad you found Ren! Keep the videos coming!

[@truckinleprechaunscottcask9747]

Ren's music is meant to make you have feelings. His catalog is immense, and can go from personal to political. Then there's his music with The Big Push to live busking on the streets of London with Sam. Keep going down his rabbit hole. Great reaction

[@davidktd]

I’ve walked almost all Paddington streets and I can imagine all of this. St Mary’s hospital in Paddington is a seriously old, imposing building and one that you can imaging Violet fading away. Paddington has some very dark, fearful areas despite its high tourist footfall

Ren is a GOD. I'm so in love with him. I have obviously never met him, but I feel like I would do about anything for him. I feel like he is so important. Your reaction was amazing. You are clearly an empath. I was crying with you, even though I've seen this SO many times. If you check out his other sides, he will blow you away even more. Definitely check him out with his band "The Big Push". And less reacted to, his even older band "Trick the Fox". And then his rap is so important. And his duets with Chinchilla and Sam Tompkins. Seriously, he is just the most amazing newer artist in so long. I totally worship him and am addicted to reactions to him. And OMG he is so EFFING hot

[@reactivereplays5666]

I could write a book on just about every Ren song... These are a few things I like to mention sometimes. Jenny's Tale you have to ask yourself what was a 14 year old girl wearing heels and "rosy cheeks" doing at night on a road "she walked a 1000 times before". At the start of Screech's Tale, Ren starts the song by saying, "A story it starts at the end". Patrick was "missing" and Screech's GF was "Busy" because they were together. Then at the end as Ren does so often he brings it full circle and says, "A story it ends at the start" . Violate Tale - I LOVE the guitar rifts throughout the ENTIRE song. Ren so often does, he plays the part of Violate here on the bed after the rifts... (Violate waking up looking around confused as to how she got here and where is here?) With haunting/eerie hymns he sets the stage. Many catch the rewind . MANY more miss the speeding back up to real time when Ren/Violate wakes up on the table (After the fight between her and Stevie as he starts walking away). Lastly, Violet moved out at 16 into a flat paid by a "welfare scheme". It is logical to think that violet was already pregnant by this time. A teenage runaway might have a chance at being a beneficiary of this but a pregnant teenage runaway certainly has the qualifications to be granted this benefit. This was before she met Stevie who most would assume was the father of Jenny and Screech. If what was speculated was true, Stevie did some maths and figured that the numbers didn't add up, the baby wasn't his. He beats up Violet and calls her a "slut" which was quite specific when compared to usual cuss words like "bitch" or "cunt". This would also answer as to why Stevie asked "Why're you lying to me, violet?" And would make the slightly off phrase "Do you think I wanna do this, Violet" fit more consistently into the story.

[@Wayazaexa42]

You never need to apologize for showing emotion. I think part of what makes us Renegades such fans is that he elicits these emotions in all of us, that's why I was drawn in at least. As a 37 years old metalhead that grew up in a very macho culture, getting into fight and stupid stuff; I cried like a baby first time I heard this, and it still makes me cry. Renegades are very empathic, and any comment section featuring a Ren video is a safe space. ❤

[@pjotrh]

[@DavidAntrobus]

I've noticed that your absolute favourite artists so far are all from the UK: Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and now Ren. I love how you connect so emotionally to music.

[@walkerig1]

IMHO the Tale of Jenny and Screech is a Three Act Shakespearian Tragedy, in the style of the wondering minstrel bard. Ren has self identified his music as bard core, so that is confirmed. This is an ancient style of music; that goes right back through the wondering minstrel bards of the middle ages. The works of Chaucer sung in the Wife of Bath's ale house. And back to the Dark Ages of Anglo Saxon epic poetry of Beowulf, on through the Greek Homeric tales of The Iliad and The Odyssey and the beginning of the Choir. This form of story telling probably goes all the way back to Ugg twanging his Bow to woo the Chiefs Daughter or complain about the Chief stealing the meat from his hunt, at the hut of the Widow Ale Wife, where he and others would congregate to let off steam and tell tales of epic hunts; to then draw on the local cave walls, like the graffiti in The Tales. The music acted in part as interlude/intro as well as melodic emphasis and sound effects for the story. Also I think you spotted Ren's use of locational reverb in the sound engineering. They also got lucky with the Seagulls in part of the song which then was deliberately left in and emphasized in the mix. All of that indicates the intellectual level of the performance production in this piece of art.

[@ronaldbender7226]

The amazing thing about these reaction videos (where Renegades will suggest someone watch something from him) is that on the surface it could be seen as a joke, or a morbid fascination with seeing someone being uncomfortable. But this isn't giggling because we know that the jump scare is coming. It is knowing that watching or listening to Ren WILL CHANGE your. Maybe only for a day or week or whatever, but it really does plant something into you soul and Renegades want to share that with as many people as possible. And Stacey, you were emotional because you have a good heart I think and that is how good people react to tough situations. Thank you for reacting!

Brilliant and heartfelt reaction, we've all been there with Ren!! What you said about whether it is the story or the performance that made you cry, that is often how I feel with Ren but I think it is the performance for me as even some of his songs which aren't sad get to me like that. He is just a unique talent and it hits me in a way nobody else's music has. Can't wait to follow as you go further down the Ren rabbit hole, there's so much more to see from him, you've already noticed his talent in different aspects but you still have loads more skills and talents to see. Would love to see you react to one of his interviews that give more insight into his journey and the type of person he is as well, the interview with Zach Sang is a good one. Also the video he made for hitting one million subs is another good one for you to check out.

Welcome to the heart of the Renegades. Where we bring lots of tissue cuz sometimes they make us laugh but many times we cry. His BardCore where he plays the characters but then swiches to the narrator like back in Shakespeare plays.

[@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. Anyway great reaction ❤ Now you get to wait in eager anticipation with the rest of us, cause Ren has said that he and his cinematographer Sam have plans to film a pilot to pitch to Netflix when Ren has finished treatments in Canada and moves back to the UK. All we know is that it will be in the same raw style as this trilogy, but that is enough for me to say that if Netflix doesn’t give Ren his own show, they are fools.

[@erikduggins228]

Jenny's part was based on a newspaper article titled It's a Shame. He found it odd that it wasn't one the front page. It was a proustite killed by a 14 yrs old boy. He wrote Screech's part a couple years later and then Violet's part later to tie it all together.

[@garethstanden3732]

Been into this fella for 12 months now. One of those artists you happily share with your friends.

Glad the guy is finding international audiences now.

[@Lord6]

Great reaction to this. As someone else said, you have a good heart. It's endlessly nice to see people react to this like a human. I'm sure it's been said, but just in case - jenny and screech were brother and sister. After the death of their mother, the father wasn't around; whether that was because he abandoned them or he was in jail, they would have ended up in foster care. They likely had no idea the other ever existed, because record keeping while itself is already poor; it was equally poor at communicating pretty much anything about someone's roots. Secondly, Screech's friend was with Screech's girlfriend. "For something far more sinister in mind, does await." The basics of the story is true, iirc - at least the story of the mother and how she died and what her condition was. Maybe not twins, but she was pregnant. Her name was changed for the song, but she was real. I believe Ren said he read and remembered the story from a newspaper (?) Or perhaps an article online. He has a really great interview with Black Pegasus, and I think he also has one with The Charismatic Voice.

Love your human reaction. Guess what? We have all been a wreck watching REN. The talent this boy has is unbelievable. He is a great rapper too. You need to go down the REN rabbit hole and we will be with you❤️👍👍

[@reddeadlive5631]

You have a great heart ❤️ the amount of feeling you feel during this reaction. You’re one of the good ones. Blessed soul

[@1sizefitzall-bf8yf]

Thank you so much for your reaction to the trilogy. Such an emotive and thought provoking piece of art. I'm so happy that you have started your journey with Ren. Expect tears and laughter along the ride, but more importantly, enjoy 😺. Thank you once again from this UK RENegade

[@hanikrummihundursvin]

lady, I just watched this reaction of yours having seen the trilogy many times, thinking I was emotionally ready for this. I bawled my eyes out yet again. I´m 47 year old male if that matters, yet this just cuts my cord´s so hard.

[@mastertoymaker5249]

A year into my Ren journey, and I still end up crying watching new reactions to this. If anyone at work asks.. I just got something in my eyes, okay? Before you get broken by Chalk Outlines.. maybe take a break and enjoy Love Song Part 4, or Genesis ❤

[@Eaglefreed1]

Love ❤️ the reaction. I love to see others first reactions to this song, it brings back the feelings of my first view. He is the definition of a true artist in every aspect

[@josephjsmith]

Thank you for your reaction to this. You looked like you tensed up a bit during Violet's tale where Ren talked about her father not leaving her room, and then you looked away for a moment at the part about her mother knowing what was happening, as if it was too much for you to think about for a moment. I don't know if this was a trauma response to something you've been through, or if you were simply empathizing with countless victims/survivors. My point is: One thing I've been learning through Ren's songs is that we need more humanity. It will be ugly, scary, and painful, but it will also be beautiful and exciting and is exactly what the world needs. Thank you for sharing your humanity and vulnerability, and for making the world a better place. Since you're on the Ren train, why don't you check out Power. It isn't as heavy as "Hi Ren" or "The Tale of Jenny and Screech", but like them it sends an important message. Much love.

Aww Stacey sweetheart it made me tear up seeing how hard this was for you. It is a hell of a Tragic tale. Hopefully this gets a smile? I subscribed halfway through because of your genuine reaction.

1:40 That keyboard is intense! Also, one of our kitties looks just like Meezu! 21:00 "I don't know if I was crying because of the story or how beautiful Ren is?" Yes. The answer is yes. 🧡💛🧡

[@peterdobos1606]

The 1st two were recorded together a few years before Violet's Tale. Initially based on a news report Ren had read about a couple of kids. I wonder if you'll make the connection right away at the end...? The big thing that sets Ren apart is the extent to which he acts: he doesn't just sing or speak his lyrics, he lives them. Dude would make a really good actor.

hi, i am a 51 year old Australian male and a huge lover of music, i am an intermediate guitar player dreaming of being 1/10th as good as ren one day, i thought HI REN was mind blowingly brilliant, see, i suffer from serious mental illness, Bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia, dissociative identity disorder, panic disorder, social phobias as a result of childhood sex abuse for years at the hands of my pedo father who also beat me regulalry and threatened to decapitate me if i ever told anyone of what he was doing, so as u can imagine Violets tale resonated withj me deeply and i criend my eyes out everytime iwatch it, its a bloody tough act, Ren is a master craftsman, a brilliant lyricist, producer, director, actor , artist, rapper and singer and instyrumentalist and so much more, he cant be quantified or put in a single genre, i usually always 100% only love female vocalists, Ren changed all that for me. I wanted to comment about your reaction video technique if i may? Firstly, i wanted to say thankyou firslty just for doing this honestly with an open heart and empathy, secondly these videos that people do about music are generally called REACTION videos, yet many content creators never shut up long enough to hear the words or inflections of the artists to give a proper reaction, ur silence was perfect, u were actually REACTING, not commentating, which IMHO was perfect for this kind of thing and im not sure if you have reacted to HI Ren but you seem very familiar with his work so i am going to assume you have and will look after this, The saddest part of all this Ren music is that it is relatable because it hapopens every minute somewhere in the world, the darkness is always present on our small blue marble rocketing through space, and will likely not end until humans are extinct. There are so many wonderful experiences of the human condition why are so many drawn towards the dark? The age old existential question i guess? Anyways, please keep reacting to videos in the same style you did this one, with few interuptions and just pure heartfelt honesty, be it joy, sorrow, confusion, or anger etc? Just be true to yourself, your audience, and most importantly the artist.. you have a new subber and liker and commenter in me, much love from the land down under xx 💖 Phoenix !!

[@thatwittyname2578]

You shouls see another side of Ren, "Illiest of our time" will show you just what a versatile genius he is. Another crazy versatile singer, Kim Dracula "make me famous"

[@marknippress7410]

Loved your reaction, I am sure I am not the only one who wanted to come give you a hug. Ren is a phenomenal talent and the most exciting musical artist I have heard in a long time. He can do anything, both serious and moving to just fun. The future for Ren is very exciting. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves.

[@mikep83]

Defo wouldn’t have sent you from HiRen to the tales that’s a real emotional journey but thank you for being so open and raw. Defo check out some other parts to him. 1 million subscriber video Anything with his band the big push Humble, Runaway, his new retake he dropped yesterday. There’s honestly so much just enjoy and we’ll be here.

[@jeffhall2411]

I can never decide if he should get a Grammy or an Oscar, or maybe both.

[@dropbarracuda]

You've only seen one side of Ren, and he has so much more to discover. After the Tales, it's a good idea to see some of his lighter side. I *highly* recommend checking out a video with his band The Big Push titled, "I Shot the Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip Hop" (Look for the thumbnail wit Ren in the *RED SUSPENDERS*), or something like a collab with Sam Thompkins titled "Earned It/Man's World/Falling". Both are Renegade favorites, and will really give you a different, lighter perspective of Ren. 😎

[@Thatguydan98]

I love you and love how emotional you are because I’m the exact same. Thank you for experiencing ren and showing your vulnerability. Great reaction

[@troydruckenmiller1751]

It is ok to feel all the feelings we feel about this. The grief,anger, rage against evil, the sadness created by the tragedy of death. For all of you that have experienced physical and emotional abuse. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO !Talk to some one. Seek help. Even having people praying for your safety can help. Everyone is special and is beautifullly and wonderfully made. God bless.

[@allanhindmarch7323]

This world absolutely NEEDS Ren!
