Much love, G! It's been an absolute pleasure getting to know your body of work. Really glad your fans came through with the recommendations. Thanks for all you do, and I can't wait to check out more. I hope 2024 is a year of continued success for you! 🙌🏽

It's a great reaction ❤

[@KarriSimone]

​@@pauzeandrewindGod I love the actual connection between Ren and his supporters/fans. It really feels as if he is my mate from across the pond. I trust people who really like Rens music😅

[@JoeYo77]

So he read a clipping in the local paper about a night walker getting killed and finished with its such a shame. I think he found that disrespectful and he turned it into an amazing song I guess giving Jenny the proper respect. She deserved it music so everyone’s interpretation, but she said something on those lines.

[@Bearlissimo]

In the lead up to this, Ren released a "Screech Instagram Stories" in which Ren returns to London from a gig, has his phone stolen by a hooded youth, then the remainder of the day was "Screech" using Ren's phone... It's a ton of additional context in the lead up to "The Tales".

[@pauzeandrewind]

Oh wow! Layers!

​@@pauzeandrewindAs RENegades, should one expect nothing less as we tumble down the rabbit hole? 🌈ᥫ᭡

[@RoarinRoots]

Ren is a artistic connoisseur. He has some amazing new creative ways to promote stuff. That in self could also be considered an art. There was one for this track so realistic that Ren actually wound up getting cancelled and lost loads of subscribers over. Then they found out it was a promo for the upcoming release.

[@Bearlissimo]

@@RoarinRoots that's exactly what I'm talking about, only without spoilers.

[@Dsdnv]

Generational trauma. Jenny was indeed 14 years old just like Screech but her life probably wasn't very glamorous either. What kind of 14 year old has walked streets thousand times wearing high heels..? I think it's pretty insane how Violets tale starts with depictions of child abuse but still manages to get darker and darker as it progresses. First you hear in very graphic detail what Stevie does to her, then as you're already devastated, you hear about the pregnancy. And then the ending hits you like a ton of bricks and as you process what you heard and start tying all the details together, the first two parts become so much worse.

[@pauzeandrewind]

Yeah, I was wondering about the high heels part myself. Wow, just crazy to think about.

[@DusCostea-kt1dg]

Both his friend and girlfriend weren't available to help Screech because they were together 😜

[@MissyGail4eva]

​@@DusCostea-kt1dgPatrick was indeed a very naughty boy, lol. 🌈ᥫ᭡

[@robmarar]

@@pauzeandrewind Here's a little info on London city. The Sussex Gardens area in Paddington - is considered one of the capital's most notorious red light districts. Late at night this area would be a playground for street walkers & muggers, plus when Ren wrote this, knife crimes were & are on the rise. ✌

[@dapablo2]

as an aside maybe Patrick being away was why his girl was busy?

[@Scoggie]

Who's violet has become a staple of every reaction video of this series. I love it

[@cardbuddy4988]

Ren should sell Who’s Violet? t-shirts.

[@cardbuddy4988]

Jenny did not do alright though. She was a hooker. High heeled shoes, walking the streets a thousand times, Screech threatening to slice the “rosy” off her cheeks was likely the bright blush she had to wear to look older than 14.

[@jasonremy1627]

That reaction to the end of Violet's Tale. We've all been there. It's unreal how good a story teller he is.

[@Shiroar]

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. And Ren uses this ability to shed light on far too real issues.

I personally think Ren deliberately incorporates outside noises as part of his scene setting.

[@alexred9111]

Rabbit hole for me with your reactions.

[@whisperingfist]

I've seen a lot of reactions to this song, and I'm really pleased that you identified Screech as a victim of tragedy too, as this is often missed, with him being painted solely as the villain. He's a 14 year old kid who's clearly had a shoddy upbringing, and you can see how devastated he is by it when he tries to speak to his friend Patrick and then his girlfriend won't see him, just when he needs some support and reassurance. Don't get me wrong, what he's done is fucked up, and there's no walking away from that, but essentially he's a scared kid who acts a lot tougher than he actually is. I really like that you got that, when so many others appear to miss it.

Havik, you came up on my feed 2 days ago -really happy for it....guess the algorithm led me here. I've seen countless reactors watching this trilogy about Jenny, Screech & Violet. I so appreciate your thoughts both regarding Rens storytelling but also your view on the actual video and how it's made. Yes, such a mess...these 3 people they didn't had a chans, did they?. There's many of us that survived a life of domestic violence and abuse: the more we talk about it less shame will surround the topic. I hope you're up for more Ren! There's an amazing catalog of his music to choose from. Saludos desde Valencia ✌

[@pauzeandrewind]

Thank you so much, I appreciate you! And no, they really had so little chance based on those circumstances. Very sad to think about.

[@somogyieva]

Your channel was recommended by Disco Doc who is the best Ren reactor and reviews other reactors. I really liked your reaction, you appreciated both artistic and technical aspects. This story is common, it happens everywhere every day. Domestic violence generates the most murders in the world, and there are unfortunately countries where it is legal for idiotic religious reasons. I subscribed.

[@pauzeandrewind]

Thanks, I appreciate it. And yeah, it's a far too common scenario. The story hits close to home because my mom was a victim of this as well. It really is a shame. Thanks for the comment!

[@somogyieva]

@@pauzeandrewind I am very sorry for what happened to your mother, unfortunately, everyone has something like this that happened to her or someone around her. We should talk more about this.

[@brettharper4763]

Ren has said that Screech and Jenny’s tale was inspired by real life events. He wrote Violet’s tale years later to give some sort of closure to their story. He’s a fantastic writer and storyteller but he also pays attention to every detail in his music videos. As for next thing to watch, Murderer or Loosing It are my favorite newer songs that he’s done but he also just dropped a video called Eden that I think you’d enjoy. Also, HMack dropped a new Beardyman colab video that is fire.

[@pauzeandrewind]

I'll be checking those out, thank you!

[@MissyGail4eva]

​@@pauzeandrewind Yes, it was initially loosely inspired by a news article Ren read in passing, in which a woman had been killed in a robbery gone wrong, and then later the suspect was killed whilst attempting to be apprehended. What stuck with Ren was the young age of both the victim and the suspect, their proximity at death to one another, and the senseless nature of the whole debacle. This was then echoed by the final quote in the article attributed to the policeman who had pulled the trigger, "It's such a shame". That's why the line "It's such a shame" is carried through so many of Ren's songs with storylines, not only 'The Tales', but also 'The Money Game' trilogy, coming into a collective full circle in the last lines of TMG3, "Here's the words of his father, it's such a damn shame. Then he presses on the trigger of a money game." (oh, btw.. this was my first reaction to you and I'm delighted by your enthusiasm and your nuanced perspective..for myself, authenticity is the key to these reactions, and you, my dear sir, are so genuine you're minted.

Imagine how hard this hit for true Ren maniacs. He released the tale of Jenny and screech in 2019 where he describes screech as a 14-year-old boy. Then a few years later drops violets tale taking us back to 2005 and at the very end links these songs from a few years earlier. Minds had to have exploded. Not to mention the way, both kids inherited the traits of their parents, Jenny, quiet and screech unhinged.

I’d love to catch your reaction to Losing It - Fisher Rap Retake by Ren. He raps over Fisher’s popular EDM track, but it’s Ren just splashing his skills and interwoven music and pop references throughout. Key though is the insane number of rap callouts and references throughout. Pauze & Rewind could really sleuth those out and I think you’d get off on how obscure and layered in they can be.

[@linmonash1244]

Both kids wind up in State 'Care' { which we all know is vastly underfunded, under-supervised and Broken }. They fall out of this system and both wind up on the streets. Jenny; winds up an underage prostitute, and Screech; toughing it out with his knife hanging with the gang, and age 14 they meet... Is this a real story? No, but it could easily be, all too easily. Maybe has. How would we, or even they, know! When, as you say, there are so many real tragedies just like this happening out there every damn day. Ren is not just a mega-talented artist, he's a modern bard, a 'town crier' and above all; a powerful Social Commentator. He shines his spotlight on the hard truths. He said he read about a young street kid who killed a young prostitute and then was killed himself. How he was saddened and disgusted to see how quickly that story just disapeared. Swollowed up in the relentless never-ending stream of the 24 hour news cycle. How habituated we are becoming to violence. How people - news readers etc. - murmur such meaningless platitudes as " Isn't that a shame...' and then it's gone, and on to the next 20 second news bite, as if those lives don't matter. Ren says; They DO matter! Every life matters. Pay attention. We KNOW the pathways ( he lays these out clearly ) that lead innocents like Jenny and Violet, and yes, poor boy 14 y/o Screech too into becoming victims and /or perpetrators. He leaves the big question hanging - echoing loudly in the sudden void at the end. " Why aren't we doing more to prevent these tragedies!?! "

[@mistyramsey1840]

He gives a whole Quinton movie right here with a flash back AND a twist ending 💥 What I've always wondered was, if Violet was being molested, were the twins the result of that or were they Stevies? "Violet, she fell fast"... he never says how long her and Stevie were together before that night in the hospital so there's a possibility of the story taking an even darker turn. It's the most masterful piece of music I've ever heard ❤️‍🔥 I love seeing reactors like you, who can appreciate all the beautiful details from the use of the environmental acoustics to just the sheer dopeness of those guitar solos.
