Guys if you're seeing this do me a HUGE favour and like and comment on this video!! KZbin has flagged it as 'inappropriate for advertising' and has basically killed the video! Let's keep it floating and keep spreading the message of Ren!

[@cas9065]

Contest. Ren said that he waves copyright on all the videos, and if you run into issues, just contest and he'll release it.

[@andrewsears16]

@@cas9065 I think it's a case of KZbin trying demonetize anything that isn't suitable at my great grandma's dinner table so as to fill their own coffers. Remember that copyright claim protocol isn't the only loophole able to be abused for monetary gain.

[@natwebster1000]

Love this comment! 🖤

[@NeilBlanco]

Violet's tale happened in 2005 (two zero zero five). Jenny and Screech happened in 2019 14 years later when the songs were released. Jenny inherited her mother's silence and Screech inherited his father's violence which is why she was still and silent when Screech killed her. Also an interesting part is when Screech knocks on the door and Patrick isn't home then he calls his girlfriend who said she was busy, they were actually together behind his back. This is brilliant storytelling. It's a story of how history repeats in the lives of people. Ren truly is brilliant. He describes his genre as "Bardcore" which is perfect as he's a modern day minstrel or bard. Great breakdown as usual...

There was an indicator in Jenny’s tale when she felt that something was wrong that night. They say twins have a connection like that, so she felt Screech coming. 🤯

[@frankcanonico1036]

Took me a second to realize the clue at the end of Screech's Tale... "Our story it ends right at the start..." (paraphrasing) with Jenny and Screech laying next to each other just like when they were born.

Jenny and James are apparently typical twin names. Also consider her freezing statue like, and her silence their sets Screech off, just as Violet's silence was his father's trigger. There are tons of little connectors. Jenny's Tale and Screech's both finish with 'It's such a shame', and Screech's Tale is bookended with .The Story is starts right at the end and ends with 'The story it ends right at the start.

[@joewolf5067]

Nah u got a fair point hes really incredible haha otherwise that gown he was wearing in violets tale would be for real

[@AW-pr7qj]

Jenny was like a statue like her mother Violet while Screech took the personality of the father.

[@bitzibaerlie]

The similarities between the twins are not that obvious. There are some parallels in their stories that make it apparent when you listen to it again. Like them lying close to each other at the end of Screech's and Violet's tale respectively, as well as the "such a shame" line. But I like how Jenny and Screech resemble their parents. Jenny freezing up in front of Screech and Screech getting more violent because of that. Also how Screech talks to the woman on the phone. And the knocking from Screech and from Stevie respectively. The devil theme throughout the trilogy. There is so much to discover, even after dozens of listens. Everything is interwoven so well. I could fanboy the whole evening about Ren's songs.

[@GrahamDixonUK]

It's taken many re-watches and listens to realise that Ren told us early on in Violet's tale that she was pregnant. "Violet was a quiet girl, and Violet, she fell fast". Fell fast, means she quickly fell pregnant (I'm not sure if this is just a British phrasing which is why I explained it). I also now think the tales begin and end at Christmastide. The guitar intro for Jenny's tale is reminiscent of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" which is played around with up to and including his trumpeting. Graffiti Christmas tree as he first sings "Jenny walked alone she was dragging her feet". And at the end of Violet's Tale as "a lady down in Paddington just lost the fight to stay alive" we stop at a shop which has "Seasonal Greetings" in the window. Because of the gap in recording these epic tales and Ren's attention to detail, I think it was planned, not coincidence.

[@vortexsf]

Also the line is the year when this happend "London City, far from pretty Two, zero, zero, five" REN is the morern day bard.

[@Proud.American58]

Thanks for completing the trilogy. It’s weird as I am an almost 65 year old man who grew up on rock/metal music so my taste leans more towards Ren/The Big Push doing covers of Sabbath’s War Pigs and Paranoid. Most of the elements in Hi Ren and this trilogy tale are things I’m not into (classical guitar, rap, talking, sounds) and yet, he weaves it all together to make it so compelling, captivating and mesmerizing. So much so, that it stays in your head. I would so much rather see him do one of his songs live on the Grammys than most of the performances that night

[@karenlelonek1832]

👍🏻I’m pushing 70 & enjoy all musical genres worldwide. Ren’s gifts are many. Few young reactors have the education or exposure to the arts to appreciate/grasp Ren’s genius. Ren IS well educated & knows precisely what he’s doing! Glad to be alive during this profusion of musical innovation & talent. (Dimash, AJ, D. Ankudenova, J. Antoine, etc. The instrumentalists as well!). 12/‘23

[@robertturner6530]

Rens the hunger

[@Corvid76]

Yes those are seagulls. Ren lives in Brighton UK, which is a tourist town which is why so many buskers have success there. Most of his videos are filmed around the town, a block or two from the beachfront. His band did a great one-take live cover of a Manu Chao song on the rooftop of their apartment and another song in a public laundromat. The "hospital" location at the beginning of Violet's tale was actually a friend's kitchen that they dressed. All locations you can find on Google maps if you look around a bit. I don't think he gets permission for any of it, he's so used to busking, he just does it and hopes no one interrupts them before they get it done. The Ren rabbit hole runs deep and most people think it only goes back 5 or 6 years but you can find stuff as far back as when he was trying to make his boy band successful as a teenager.

I love watching your reactions because you’re clearly genuinely moved and impressed by Ren’s work and he’s clearly genuinely impressed with your ability to pick up on things most miss. It’s almost like a bromance and I just love it… two very talented artists showing their admiration and respect for each other. Imagine if the two of you joined forces and worked on something together!!!! ❤️

[@Smirstyn]

At the beginning it talks about jenny being adopted, then talks about screech being in the system and aging out. Baby girls adopt easier than boys, boys left in fostercare is a common trope. With Violet shes out alone at 16 does not have anyone but the abusive partner/father of the twins. He goes to jail for murder, and the twins go into protective services... Then quiet jenny (like mom) and aggressive screech (like dad) meet by chance and die together in the same cycle of violence.... ❤❤❤I Love to hate this song every time i hear it. Experience working with teens in care as well as homeless so this hits

[@tsumichama]

I can really only pinpoint one parallel between Jenny and Screech, and it's how he described her as 'dragging her feet' and Screech is 'quick on his feet'. Two others are maybe them dying on the same night (someone mentioned that they died lying side by side one street apart, like they were born also lying side by side. Covered in their mother's blood, then their own, should I add. Blows my mind) And possibly their names. Jenny and James. Sounds like twin names to me. Like I imagine that maybe Violet had time to give her twins names. Which kind of makes it even more tragic. But the real parallels I think are between Jenny and Violet, and Screech and Stevie (mostly the latter two) Jenny and Violet are quite powerless during their murder. Jenny is frozen like a statue, Violet is silent all throughout. They're both paralyzed by fear. Both Screech and Stevie are associated with the devil. Stevie is literally equated as the Devil on the night he murders Violet. 'The devil comes to dance'. And Screech, the son of that devil, was 'possessed, with the devil in his chest' when he stabbed Jenny. Like it was in his veins. Also, they were both under the influence. Screech had been smoking ganja, and Stevie had been smoking and drinking. And because of that, how neither really intended to kill, and it's those substances and their violent impulses that (inevitably) led to those murders. And it's very realistic, and it could be used to get them sympathy. Except that no, the setting up makes it very clear, in Stevie's case, that he's really just a fckin p r i c k Absolute masterpiece

[@stuartmurray9885]

"2 0 0 5" was the date the Violet died and the twins were born, and Screech was 14 years old bringing it the date he wrote the first track 2019

[@bestbuddz4349]

He looks a bit like Cillian Murphy (Scarecrow in Batman Begins/ Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders) but your comment about his facial expressions and eccentricity also made me see a bit of Will Poulter from We’re the Millers and soon to be Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

I love how he can make anywhere his stage. The opening of Violets tale looking all hospital like but in reality it’s like a bicycle shed attached to a friends apartment complex.

[@ladysarafireheart5400]

Also love that with that final gut punch of finding out Jenny and Screech were 14yr old twins during their tales so it makes you mentally evaluated the whole thing. Like why was a 14yr old girl out in the middle of the night walking the streets in high heeled shoes? We know why Screech was out there but then realizing they didn’t know each other so they were separated at birth and the system failed them because obviously their foster homes were shit otherwise she wouldn’t be a street walker and he wouldn’t be a street thug. Then the fact that Jenny like her mother stayed silent which set screech off just like it did with Violets boyfriend but her silence benefited her father. And for that matter was Stevie their father or was her father their father and she couldn’t get it taken care of.

[@mkelly7143]

Great breakdown Knox! Always loved the way you view music! Ren is absurd, he’s like a Shakespearean Bard come back from the renascence. What’s even crazier about this story is it’s a commentary on life and the cycle of destruction that negative action brings. These children were in part a product of their parents before them. They grew up either adopted or in foster care and that clearly messed Screech up. Violet’s abusive childhood, led her to an abusive relationship, that ended up destroying her and her family. In addition the children bear resemblance to their parents. Jenny was much like her mother, quiet and reserved. When faced with Screech, much like Violet she froze and that ended up killing her just like it did her mom. Whereas for James (Screech), he inherited his dad’s lack of self control and violent tendencies which led Stevie (their dad) to prison for murdering Violet in a fit of a rage, and him to kill his sister. It’s a modern day tragedy.

[@JonnyHendrix]

If you want to add an extra layer of tragedy, consider this: why was Jenny, at 14 years old, walking the streets at night, alone, in high heel shoes - streets she'd walked a thousand times before, from which she wanted to escape...?? Jenny, with no family and no support structure, was a teenage prostitute...

When he looked up in to the stair well and the camera man pans up, he also used the stairwell for reverb. I thought initially that it was mixed in. The man’s a genius

when ren starts the guitar tapping and vocalising at the beginning of Violet's Tale, it totally reminds me of Ennio Morricone's spaghetti western soundtracks for Sergio Leone's movies - particularly the Clint Eastwood trilogy 😎🤘 Respect & Peace ☘

Ren is such a phenomenal artist honestly. Been listening to him for quite some time and its great to see his music get more and more attention

[@nikita8370]

'Like a midevil bard for modern times,' that's exactly what I've been thinking. Ren is bring the past into the present, and so it is with this story, history repeats itself. Also noticed how the schemes and cadence of Screech sreaming at the officer and Stevie when Violet is staying silent are similar to the dark side of Ren in Hi Ren. Love your depth of knowledge, Knox, picking up on all of the historical and literary references. That's why you're such a treat to watch. And love Ren's prophetic bard-like skills. Such important messages! 🤍

I’ll just comment to hopefully keep this review alive. You Tube obviously doesn’t understand ART will push this down but allow some crazy middle E be head ing DAF. Great reaction entire tale all tied together. I love watching the reactors but I love Knox the most. Absolutely the Best. And of course huge shout out to the BARD himself. The RENaissance Man! Lord REN #Renegades

This was, as usual, a very enjoyable reaction and an excellent analysis. This trilogy is another example of Ren's genius and a master's class in storytelling. It has been likened to a Shakespearean tragedy. I would also recommend you check out Ren's collaborations with Chinchilla, "Chalk Outlines," "How to Be Me," and their busking sessions in Brighton. As for "Chalk Outlines," it is one of my favorite songs right now; it is beautiful, yet sad, and really showcases Ren's beautiful singing voice. Looking forward to more Ren reactions from you. God bless.

Great reaction. You clearly recognise Ren's creativity, talent and brilliance. I have been watching Ren busking live for seven years and it’s wonderful to see everyone else finally coming onboard. If you haven’t already, please watch Chalk Outlines (live). It’s hauntingly beautiful.

Loved this reaction man! Keep up!!!

[@campscramps]

Great reaction!! Keep it up! Love the Ren deep dives ❤

[@cynthiawallace4995]

I have listened to a lot of different people reacting to this set of songs and I happen to like yours the best! I think Jenny, when she turned the corner and saw Screech, was so taken aback and froze because she recognized his face as like hers that's why she was "frozen i her tracks.
