Ren wrote the Tale of Jenny and Screech together, but released them as separate videos. Jenny’s Tale was released first and he built up hype for Screech’s Tale by pretending his phone was stolen by a masked figure (Screech) during an Instagram video, and then he began releasing Instagram stories in the character of Screech - behaving in an antisocial way with a personality that was quick to turn violent. As he committed to the character he lost a lot of Instagram followers who didn’t understand it was an act, and Instagram repeatedly threatened to shut down his account. Following the success, he wrote and released Violet’s Tale. You can tell Jenny was originally a bit older, but making them twins was a dramatic and sensational way of reflecting the cyclical nature of abuse, with Jenny freezing like her mother would and Screech quick to be violent like his father. Not a true story, but more a representation of what happens in society with a cycle of abusive relationships. Fucking phenomenal. Great reaction, you picked up on so much stuff and had a clear appreciation for his musicianship! 🔥

[@AnitaMc2]

I came here to say this exact thing!

[@zombie-xj7gc]

He got the idea when he read an article in the paper. A 14 year old boy was arrested for killing a prostitute. He then wrote the story around that.

[@AnitaMc2]

@RobynJustice kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHqmp413iJZ5iJIsi=uFwf6vZDIBROjIRT

[@SimonDiamondGamer]

Yeah I cloked that when someone said Jenny was born in 2005 so she would be 18 this year and in the workforce but hermurder by her own brother happened when she was 14 in 2018

[@vixylhunter7867]

I think the heels imply the older age and would have been hard to rewrite

[@butterflymama0838]

Keep in mind that Jenny & Screech are only 14 when this story started. Then Violet had them in 2005 and 14 years later the twins are repeating who their parents are and they weren't even raised by their parents. Screech is violent like his father and Jenny is quiet and timid like Violet. Such a great story teller. I loved this reaction guys!

[@ax3fect3]

YES! I don't think enough people are catching that.

[@greenmonster4918]

And Jenny was walking the streets at night in high heels & a painted face, looking for a way out, like she had 1000x's before 😢

[@DaveWoodard]

And Violet's mother stayed quiet while her father abused their daughter (possibly because she had already been victimized by the father). So there are at least three generations repeating the cycle.

[@_iievolve9804]

What I also really like, is Ren does SO many tie ins everywhere, but he straight up foreshadows this in the lyrics by stating, "History repeats itself" during Violates tale, prior to the big reveal at the end.

[@butterflymama0838]

@KiyoshiKane that's what I was pointing out in my comment. That is very clever! 👏👏👏

[@Glynn1087]

"SO JENNY'S DEAD?!" "Yeah..." " WHAT THE HELL!!!!" 😂😂

[@TheJester0]

Made my day!

[@angelamiller2577]

I like the sad way he asked it, too.

[@doomcrowx11]

Ren calls this style of music "Bardcore"

[@timothydombrowski748]

He's not the only one. That's been around for a while

[@Ontaros1]

I've been legit BINGING reactions to this for 3 days now, absolute hours of this and after rewatching yours here I've finally realized something about Violets tale. He hits the hall for the reverb when he starts talking about Violet, so she gets the reverb. He hits the stairwell when he talks a little about Stevie and he gets no reverb, then again a line about Violet with the most beautiful reverb "She never stood a chance". His voice was emphasized when talking about her because she was quiet. Because she never had a voice of her own the narrator so to speak lent her his. Once again, fucking chills.

[@CyndeLooWho]

Thank you for this. Never noticed.

[@davidricks7128]

Just a sidenote with Rens music you don't need to cover or adjust the video he allows reactors to share his music copyright free

[@Rykerroad]

The day that KZbin stops blocking us (even with artists that give FULL PERMISSION) we won't alter the image. Until then, this is how it gets to be.

[@jedmundsIV]

So, I can’t remember the exact incident, but apparently Ren saw a story on the news about a young boy that stabbed a woman and was trying to wrap his head around what could lead a kid to do something so horrible. That’s where Jenny’s tale originally came from. He wrote Screech’s Tale and Violet’s Tale years later, and those were his own original additions to the story. (Not 100% on this as I’m just remembering a comment on another video explaining it). Seriously though, loved the reaction! Really glad you took time to do such a long video. The Tale of Jenny and Screech is an absolute masterpiece of performance art. Tragic and depressing, but it just draws you in completely. Thanks for such a wonderful and detailed reaction!

[@DenTweed]

Jenny & Screech were released after each other, it's only Violet's Tale which was released much later

[@jedmundsIV]

@@DenTweed Thanks for the clarification!

[@nubbypk]

Ive read elsewhere that the victim was a 14 year old prostitute. Not sure if thats true, but it fits with Ren's narrative (14 yo, high heel shoes, walked the street a 1000 times before)

[@greenmonster4918]

​@@nubbypk pretty sure that wasn't the original story, but that is how the internet has run with it after figured out Ren painted Jenny that way

[@atwellorama]

Yeah, Screech's tale stemmed from another story he'd read about a cop that had to kill a 14yo boy, and the remorse he felt afterward.

[@frostritegaming]

Daaaaamn I've been waiting for this one! I don't know why, but I always get Tarantino vibes from this. What a pure talent, both musically and filming it all!

[@ashscott6068]

It follows a similar story structure to Kill Bill or Reservoir dogs. Plus, it's split into chapters that are introduced by a subtitle and a piece of music

[@stranger2Utube]

This was just featured by Ren! ❤🎉

[@crminalminds12]

modern artists don't do enough classical guitar its so beautiful, i would say Ren is a performance artist he doesn't just play music he pulls you into his world.

[@Jabadaw]

Note, the men speak a lot, but Jenny never does, and Violet only speaks to ask the doctors to save her babies.

[@GametoClaimOutdoors]

For violets tale they took 20 takes and ended up with 6 or 7 full live takes to choose from. This one they chose was take #2. Ren did all the sound mixing on these videos as well. He said the sound mixing took a long time to get right on violets tail since each room and hallway had different acoustics.

[@cbboseven]

I think you’re the first reactors to catch his fast forward to present time on the guitar and I thank you for that.

[@ceekayy79]

"I don't weigh more standing" 😂😂😂 so glad you are finally doing the tales. 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@Danielle_Torres]

Was just about to comment about that! I spit my coffee ☕️ GOOD ONE!!😂🖤💜!!🤘🏻💯

[@mitchchartrand]

I see an email from the marketing department's lawyers saying please don't jump on chair.

[@jenjensage7242]

I am sooo glad you decided to react to this. Ren is such a phenomenal storyteller. He completely captivates you and takes you on a ride. I agree, when listening, it doesn’t seem like a 12 min song. It flows so smoothly from one chapter to the next. Outstanding; and I’ve seen this a bunch of times…. It never gets old. Always just as good as the first time I heard it. Super enjoyed your reaction. Take care ✌🏻🙏🏻😊

[@mercurial_cyclist]

Kyle's face when Ren is playing the intro to Violet's Tale reminds me of Jack Black at the window of the kids music lesson in School of Rock 😂

[@sicpuppy9500]

Ren said on a Twitch chat that this was a story he created and is working on more tales as we speak. He also said that he plans on moving into films

[@marloeslaughter8688]

What a freakin song! I love a good story within the music, and Ren nails it, EVERY TIME!!

[@spookyTVify]

I feel like I'm the only one that picked up that his boy Patrick was sleeping with his girl, that's why she was busy during the phone call.

[@timn6864]

Awesome! That guitar tapping is an art in itself. I think Sam Westfalen covering tool was my first exposure to it and whenever i see it, it goes on repeat

[@Lyra-Carl]

I watched this yesterday but by itself, I loved it and i saw you guys off of tiktok. I was reading your guys' names when I noticed how Kyle was wearing a 'The Breakfast Club' shirt. I am as well is wearing one and it made me haply, but I adore Ren and so glad I found to guys!

[@TheDougMan]

Wonderful heart felt reaction guys! I really like the melody in Violet’s tale especially.

[@thebrokejoke1379]

Congrats on that sponsorship!!! You guys are killing it!

[@alexiaspaedt-mcintosh5311]

Been waiting for this one for sure! I absolutely love people seeing this for the first time. Ren is so talented and pulls you in like crazy with these tales. He has a new tale coming but it doesn't connect to these three. Ren did a whole Instagram stint as screech and you find out Patrick is with Screech's girl which is why they were both busy. Just a little bit of info to give even more depth. Great reaction guys! Thanks for doing this one!

[@fourcornersofbrighton]

I was just coming to mention this. The instagram doesn't have any music but in it, Ren made it look like his camera was stolen during a shoot. Then over the next week 'Screech' was posting short videos of his antics. It's an interesting look into more of the back story. There is a video of the all the IG stories here on youtube.

[@StellaDallas88]

Ive watched all of your ren reacts, and many of them multiple times. I love watching yall. I appreciate your comments and your large water cups.

[@GracefulTalksCP]

Holy crap...I have heard this at least 10 times in the past month and never heard (or it didnt register) the "14 years old" line...this changes the entire story. 😮

[@KennyMcA90]

Awesome reaction guys. Been looking forward to this one for ages! In terms of the truth to the story, if I remember correctly, there was an incident in England where a boy stabbed and killed a sex worker in the streets and as the story unfolds you found out both of them were unfortunately 14. Ren released both Jenny and Screechs tale right after and then invented Violets tale to tie everything together. Man's an absolute genius. There's so many lines than have so many different meanings. Multiple listens are definitely needed to fully grasp everything!

[@ghoul_gang8991]

I’ve been waiting for this one! This was a great reaction guys. Really glad you finally made it to this one. The ultimate tale of generational trauma, really.

[@dorkette_chicky]

Awesome reaction! Sooo glad you tackled this one. Peace friends.

[@sicpuppy9500]

Awesome reaction👍 It was great watching you guys react to this. It never gets old. Welcome to The RENegades 💪

[@simonsaunders8945]

Been waiting on this one from you guys, great reaction, Ren is going places, thanks for giving him the exposure he deserves, much love from UK brothas. Gotta do Animal Flow next by Ren, his newest track, and he said his next track he releases is gonna have more singing in it, which shows his musical diversity

[@c.sharifranklin2900]

This is a very emotional song, and Ren done an excellent job. It cuts deep! I’m happy you done this reaction. Your reactions were genuine! It brought me to tears. Great reaction Eric and Kyle! ❤

[@Rob-bt3ev]

Loved your reaction and appreciation of this one - glad you did the full trilogy in one sitting to get the full experience

[@lanasimpson8138]

Love everything. about you both; knowledge & sense of humour. Glad I found you!

[@smithyt2886]

Oh I've been waiting for this, awesome reaction. I haven't seen anyone else pick up that the graffiti on the wall behind Ren when Screech gets shot is a firing range dummy too! Talk about detail!

[@jadynnorris635]

I am insanely glad you've guys have finally had the time to react to this...Ren is amazing and your reactions are also amazing:)

[@williambell6611]

I had never heard the term Bardcore before Ren. But it’s a perfect description and I want more!

[@GITMachine]

This song is such a journey. He truly is a modern day bard, and we are that much luckier to experience his genius. Great reaction vid guys. Subbed.

[@tristianmason3095]

I thought the exact same thing. Modern day bard for the win.

[@mldkenny]

Great reaction and so pleased you did it , a true classic.

[@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

[@lynetteharding4943]

This guy can really paint a story with his words and images epic.

[@brianabercrombie1305]

Think Kyle is the first reactor I’ve seen realise that not only does he rewind time with the guitar but also brings it back to present day with the opposite end of the scale with the guitar

[@haeleysundin386]

This is a true story. I’ve lived it. This is an accurate representation of a bad night for someone who faces DV. I want to point out something important- their reaction is atypical from the norm. We didn’t hear, “well why did she stay?” Perhaps it was the introduction of how abuse is normalized for a lifetime. I grew up only knowing and seeing violent men, screaming, degrading men. I thought that was just how men treated women. Don’t call me stupid. Those were my friend’s fathers too. So many children grow up and assume violence will naturally last a lifetime when that’s all you’ve ever gotten. Why don’t we leave? Because it’s a terrifying ending. We try. Many times. Violet moved out when she was 16. Problem is, you learn pretty damn quick that an unsuccessful escape is more painful than staying. As a DV survivor, I’ve known violet. And for those of us who’ve escaped- I’m proud of you leaving when you could.

[@sassyslsgrl]

Have been DYING for this reaction....Great content as always ❤

[@spinalobifida]

Ren posted a short about you two reacting to this. Eric, I need a cup that big.

[@martinpascual3558]

Love that you did this one. Fantastic reaction as usual. Moreover I am so thrilled that you guys hit 100k and got some sponsorships. Have loved you guys for a long time and feel so proud of what you’ve accomplished

[@kuro.uchiha]

YEEESS!!!! I've been waiting for this one!

[@jamiedenson8350]

I am so happy that you guys can appreciate the pure genius of this young man! I anticipate watching your reactions to Blind Eyed with Sam Thompkins, Animal Flow, Diazapan, and Illest of Our Time!! I am just mesmerized by his masterful guitar work, his genius artistry, his genuine delivery, and the depth and dimensions of his lyrics! He is a true Artist, a true musician, and a truly creative inspiration!❤

[@rawrroar2670]

Its a true story and the news headline was "its such a shame"

[@lanaeshonestopinion]

From what I heard, Jenny's Tale was Inspired by a newspaper article Ren read about a young girl being murdered and the newspapers said it was, "Such a shame". He thought that story deserved so much more than that sentence that's why you hear that phrase a lot in the songs.

[@ajcurran100]

Absolutely brilliant

[@thetalantonx]

17:41 - And this is his mate's apartment's basement... the bike shed that they set up like the hospital room... by removing the bike rack, bikes and all, in the middle of the night. This is the same building as Animal Flow.

[@daniellebrooks1611]

Glad you guys finally did this one. I love checking in to see what kind of glass you’re drinking out of too!

[@norahdenovan8658]

Your guys reaction is just amazing, real& humble, just like REN is. I love REN so much, it’s as simple as that ❤🙏

[@billi-shakespeare]

How have I not come across you guys before? Ren makes Music just put a short of this reaction out and it’s one of the best of “The Tales” I’ve seen……embarrassingly late to the party 😩

[@Rackelhane]

Ren...The Shakespeare of today. He`s amazing! Thank you guys.

[@wolwzz8591]

Yo guys im lucky to be so early. Love yall videos and much love from Denmark

[@sunshynff]

Great reaction guys, and Kyle, thank you!! You are the first reactor to comment on the tapping, I'm a gen x kid and was in a band and worshipped Eddie Van Halen, the tapping is fairly easy on the lower frets, and an electric guitar, but only to a certain point, the level that Ren (or Eddie) takes it too is beyond anything most guitarist could pull off. Also, did you guys get the twist?? You do realize they weren't just twins, they are the Jenny and Screech from the first two stories, Violet was their mother, they were separated at birth, and Screech unknowingly killed his twin sister 14yrs later.

[@shelleybond7202]

Great reaction guys .❤

[@aknomis]

🎉🎉waaaaaau i thing everybody have waiting for this amazing Story. Only that you know Screeches Girlfriend was busy whit Patrick 😊 much love from Europe-Austria

[@mama_nez]

OHHH SHIT!! HERE WE GOOO!! •Buckle up folks, we're in for a bumpy ride folks!

[@Tessimistic420]

Yes definitely here for y'all and #Ren ❤️

[@sithlordatkielski3808]

I’m glad I stumbled across you guys. A lot of the songs y’all are using I wouldn’t have given them a chance otherwise. Like this one.

[@reedgalloway6489]

Glad you got to react to it! Ren’s storytelling and one take videos are second to none. The fact that he raps and plays rock, pop, and reggae makes him truly one of a kind. Eric when are you getting your Ren tattoo?

[@TD-mm7nj]

totally agree its not about the techniques he's using its how creatively he's using them and how good it sounds

[@hkrobertson]

A lot of Ren's videos are one shot. I freaking love it.

[@TheShermanm4]

Been waiting for you guys to watch this one. It's a masterpiece start to finish. His talent is off the scale. Love your ren reactions dudes. Subscribed. Have a good one. Also ye have to do "Losing It" by Ren. Flows up there with The Hinger.

[@rykerroadMOM3123]

Omg, I Love your reactions to Ren! He's like a Beautiful train wreck, and I Can't look away! And the way he used those natural acoustics from room to room . . . Incredible! 💜😎💜

[@jennrose7897]

Great reaction to the Ren Shakespearian story telling, and breaking the 4th wall (and beyond, to which I believe his in) because, in my opinion there is no genre this masterful man will fit. Ren a genius that stands out along.

[@chezzacollinson6938]

Ren is just phenomenal!!!!!

[@jamesdoherty6558]

great upload, review

[@christyheffernan1248]

Ive been waiting for this too!

[@sheenadees2701]

A boy named screech quick on his feet.When you run across the gym floor in sneakers.You remember this week or screech or the screech of a car when it speeds off is what I think that that bar is about.

[@mickmcgregor66]

This is musical theater. Amazing

[@helenjarvis7755]

Thx for such a great and interesting reaction. Horrific but incredible performance and writing. Your engagement to such a sociatal tragedy made it fresh as a first reaction for me.

[@kylefrandsen2665]

I think you guys would love what I call his tribute to old school hip-hop, "What You Want".

[@savanbanan51]

17:14 using the acoustics of a spiral staircase while talking about the cycle of abuse is crazy, to like the music and the visual representation i don't know how they do it

[@sarvil6253]

I been waiting for this reaction. Great reaction ♥

[@emsyhartshorne8357]

Ren (and this song in particular) gives me like... bard vibes. Telling the folk tales of the streets

[@dubbayabird6680]

Been waiting for y'all to do this, yay!

[@SK-wz6he]

I wonder if Ren will be spoken of in the same breath as Shakespeare?! 21st Century’s tragedy story telling at its finest. Amazing.

[@Josherson]

I love Erics Big drink cups lol

[@tiamack8562]

The knocking at the door part brought me immediately to la dispute king park 😮

[@dalecomber7225]

I’m pretty sure he dropped a location somewhere in London a few hours b4 for everyone to be there as he did it live. There was thousands of people how turned up. I was his 811th subscriber I’ve followed him for years some I caught him busking, he’s even better in person, his voice carry’s big time. He’s absolutely awesome in everyway, I don’t want him categorise his music I love the randomness. Balls too the uk charts, this lads a full artist.

[@TheMCmace]

Seeing you guys reminds me why i always wanted a brother😄

[@jimb8333]

Great reaction guys, this song is amazing. You should check out Humble, Ren with Eden Nash, it shows even more of Ren's talent.

[@infin8reactions]

You guys should sign for QVC 😂😂😂😂

[@Jinxy44]

Really great reaction. Thanks 🎉

[@Raveyl]

Ren brought me here. Love the channel!

[@Balazs-Kodmen]

I told ya guys its worth it. He wrote the first 2 part about a short news. 2 years later he wrote the third part out oof his head. Epic

[@GummyBearWA]

Ren is the M. Night Shyamalan of music storytelling. He's a true Bard.

[@traviescratchcards5875]

Loved this reaction! Can tell you guys were full engrossed in the movie! 😂❤

[@CindyBaucom-sb1hd]

Omg you guys are amazing. #RENegades!

[@nickgreig997]

One of my favourite reactions to the Trilogy. Thank you.

[@jrbush1]

You don’t disappoint. Great reaction. I understand the original idea came from a news story, but this story is all Ren. The three videos did come out at different times.

[@kerridollinger3013]

Just turned it on, haven’t even seen the reaction yet I have been so excited to see u do this

[@oskarhave3220]

This is so unique!

[@carahoglund5266]

Ren's modern Murder Ballad trilogy :) Warms my folk music heart. Definitely an amazing storyteller and musician.

[@erinwestcott618]

I love this trilogy so much but if yall still love Chalk Outlines y'all need to do How To Be Me with Chinchilla!! It is AMAZING!

[@sabrinaskovholt7427]

13:10 I absolutely LOVE your reaction here Kyle!!! This is the best reaction video ever!❤
