WE NEED THIS MESSAGE! First Time Reaction to Ren - "Money Game Part 3"

[@ianrose56]

Stacey, it's time to go the fun ren route.. Losing it, power, or the hunger. And don't forget the Big Push.!!!!!

[@AdamBazille]

100000000000%!😂

[@MrPeachUK]

The Power video is so simple and so fun.

[@ShnukmZ]

also his chinchilla and eden nash collabs are fire!

[@matthewperdun9312]

big push is something im aware of but i have not done a deep dive, i know " why my woman" can you tell me what else i should look for?

[@Rackelhane]

Ren is one of the good guys. ❤ And so are you. Thank you.❤

[@_b0h4z4rd7]

And so are you... and me... and... ;-)

[@JensRandolff]

Another enjoyable reaction. Apart from “Hi Ren,” and the “Trilogy,” “Money Game Part 3” is, in my opinion, Ren’s best work to date, and the bar he previously set was already incredibly high. It is an amazing and thought-provoking piece of performance art. Ren composed the music for the piano (except for the classical section at the beginning), as well as for the cello and violin parts. He also played the opening segment on the piano. The guy who came up from behind and replaced Ren is Charlie Woof-Byrne, an accomplished classically trained UK pianist who also occasionally plays jazz and pop. This wasn't a total one-take, but two separate one-takes. The video was a one-take up to the wheelchair getting turned around. They had to cut when the camera was pointed at the back of the wheelchair in order to prepare for the rain scene at the end. It could only be done once because Ren only had this one suit and his pants were about to get soaked. Moreover, the lavalier mic needed to be moved from his jacket lapel to his red tie and covered to keep it from getting wet. Some people assume that this was a studio recording, that Ren was lip-syncing, and that the lavalier mic was only used to catch the ambient sounds. Steve Dimakis (@stevedimakis7403) shared the following information gathered from one of Ren’s twitch stream, “There is no lip-syncing…Instead, there are a tonne of mics rigged up on the camera and around the studio…Ren then goes through and mixes the recording from across every mic that recorded the audio.” Robert Marar (@robmarar) explain in more detail, “In Knox's interview with Samuel the co-director and DP, it was confirmed that this is a live performance. Samuel….said that they needed to set up the pianist with inner ears so he could hear Ren throughout the performance…. the further away Ren got from the piano, the harder it was for the pianist to hear him for the cues in the songs to know when the cord shifts took place.” Andrew Lloyd Webber, after viewing Money Game 3, stated that Ren is one of the most unique songwriters and storytellers he has seen in recent times and that he hoped that Ren’s album “Sick Boi” would hit #1. That is quite a compliment coming from this musical genius and legend. At the beginning of Jimmy’s life, “one-year-old and his first words were ’mine, mine, gimme’; two years, old he was walking; three years old, walking quickly; four years old he was running around the pavement of his city. Then, “40 years old, and he cursed the words ‘mine, mine, gimme’; 41, he wasn’t walking; 42, not walking quickly; 43, never running around the pavement of his city.” ROM (@ROMsquad) during their reaction pointed out the irony that Jimmy was focused on chasing wealth and fame only to lose his ability to run as a result. Not sure if everyone noticed, but the violin and viola segment of the piece is playing Ren’s humming vocals from Money Game Part 1.

[@tomaszbielak]

Great info, thanks! In my opinion it is the best (so far) work of Ren and Samuel (audio + video). In my opinion, the best music/lyrics performance (so far) is "Seven Sins".

[@IsaacDDuke]

@JensRandolff please copy and paste this comment to other reactors. I’m an intermediate-level renegade and I only knew about 5% of what you shared. Andrew Lloyd Webber - what the heck!!! Thank you so much for the insights!

[@JensRandolff]

@@IsaacDDuke I appreciate your kind words. I used to post a lot of information about Ren's music, background, and other information to every reaction I came across. Unfortunately, about six months ago, YT began censoring some of my more in-depth comments. My account would get suspended for a couple of days, disabling my ability to leave comments, and frequently blocking or removing them all together. Since last week, it has gotten to the point that almost all of my Ren comments are removed as soon as I post them. Hence, I have given up trying. It is what it is; no rhyme or reason to YT's censorship.

[@rodgersmith6891]

Also, to cement you comment about Rem being the king of transitions, check out his latest track "Back on '74/Message in a bottle retake". He has an awesome singing voice

[@rodgersmith6891]

You probably need to start doing some fun Ren songs (I.e.) "Losing it," "what you want," "Down on the beat, " Humble," "Ocean" etc

[@BirgittHGer]

And… Loco😃

[@MrJonah53]

I shot the sheriff, is one of my favourites, from his busking days.

[@RyanESmail]

“Humble” yes yes yes 👍

[@solstra2]

Power, eh.

[@onwardinfortwurth]

I think losing it would be great the hunger or some big push stuff

[@sarahsloan4456]

The Money Game trilogy is such a terrific indictment of the failures of rampant capitalism and how it can so easily twist people's souls. Love that he's not afraid to take on such important but heavy topics like this and the generational cycle of abuse (Jenny, Screech & Violet). Hope you have an awesome weekend. 🫂

[@kevinpelletier9547]

I love your reactions. I would suggest Rens newest song "Back on '74/Message in a bottle retake" for a different fun side to Ren.

[@kevinmundis1281]

I’m very impressed with how much you pick up as you watch. Appreciate you reacting to Rens stuff.

[@im2yz4u17]

Well spoken, Stacey. Perspective in life is in many ways difficult for the vast majority of people. Ren has captured the hearts and minds of 1M+ fans. He has offerred us his perspective on life from the point of view of one who has gone through hell and come out the other side better. We live vicariously through Ren's life. We want to succeed despite all the barriars in front of us. Each day I watch many Ren videos and reactions and it consistantly inspires me. I hope some day that you can meet Ren; that would be so cool.

[@bchaps7377]

It made me think about what I tell my kids what is important in life. You realize how much you mold their little brains.

[@jessievoisin5462]

Now that you are well versed in bardcore Ren it's time to check out Ren as a singer and rapper. For singing give his duets with Chinchilla a try, Chalk Outline (live) or How to be me (live) or one of his two newest releases Fred Again mashup or Back on 74/Message in a bottle retake. For rap, try Power, Genesis, The Hunger or Losing it. Checking Ren out with his band The Big Push is also a must. Try the busking session of I shot the sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop (red suspenders). Enjoy the journey and thanks for your reaction!

[@rexrogers1859]

Thanks!! Love your reactions! I find it funny how some commenters can't help complaining about how you operate YOUR channel. 😂 I guess comedy comes in all forms. Keep doing you. It works 😊

[@rodgersmith6891]

Great reaction. If you react to money game part 2, the official lyric video is the whole song. The money bag over the head is a motif in Money Game part 1. Can't wait for you to his live collaborations with Chinchilla ("Chalk Outlines" and "How to be me")

[@amyaeschbach3581]

Yea. You loved Chalk Outlines. How to Be Me w Chilchilla is a whole other level. This leads to his very important song and video Suicide!!! Thank u so much for this enjoying your Ren reactions so much, and I’ve seen hundreds! New subscriber girl! Take care. ❤✌️

[@andreasschmidt666]

Facial expressions say more than words and it was great to see how you interpreted the song, thanks for that as always, a great reaction from you. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@blackpanther3912]

I love how you seem to catch all the major messages and you seem to come back and talk about the important parts of Ren's videos. I definitely look forward to more of this!

[@romanjohnston]

We make all this up.....every loast bit. We get so caught up in the rules we have invented....that we forget they are not real.....That they are OUR rules. We can change any time we wish. We only lack the will. I love artist like Ren. They make us wake up a little and remember our potential, not the example we see around us currently.

[@markbrooks8144]

My recommendation would be "The Big Push" (Ren's Band), singing "Bongo Bong." Light hearted Ren, for a change.

[@mldkenny]

An International Award-winning performance , and we can see why! There are so many many gems in the Ren catalogue and everyone of course have their favourites. You mentioned about living finding new artists so for that reason I would suggest " How to Be Me " Live and " Chalk Outlines LIVE " both with Chinchilla and then " Fingers Live for Hunger TV " by Chinchilla, it would be impossible not to be overwhelmed with the beauty and talent of these performances. Ren is/was in The Big Push and if you want a day full of smiles you must do " Bongo Bong " Loving your channel.

[@94tegsi]

One of REN’s songs that I find impactful that seems to have slipped through the crack of most react channels, likely because it is one of his earlier releases is Crutch, featuring Bibi. I feel like you would enjoy.

[@ezrasace]

Jimmy's first words were "mine, mine, gimme". A one year-old will mimic what they hear. How much did his parents say, "mine, mine, gimme" and planted that idea in his head from the beginning. Such a wonderful piece of art and Ren is amazing. This was a one take in two parts.

[@alexbaxter8291]

Philip Larkin wrote a poem called This Be The Verse in 1971, and the opening line is 'they f*ck you up, your mum and dad' and continues with the theme of how your parents can make you a functional human being or turn you into a basket case with all of their neuroses.

[@davidberesford7009]

Revolutionary. Extraordinary. - Next! That's Ren for you. Keep Reacting.

[@Prsboy78]

Again a masterclass in the 1 shot. Part 1 and 2 are also amazing part 3 show's a higher level of budget/thought/cinematography but each message is timeless a very well worth watching. Another thought provoking story told by a true story master.

[@sammyd8860]

It was nearly one take. There was a cut when the camera went behind the wheelchair. This allowed the smoke from the grenade to leave the building. It also allowed the string quartet to get in place for the next shot

[@TheRealityleak]

Also they only had one chance to do the rain machine so they did what they could up to then, and they changed the position of the lapel mic to be in the tie knot so he could take off the jacket more easily than he did with the poncho in MG1.

[@jason.r9273]

This is heavy and so is life. His last two releases are lighter and very good and still internet hot.

[@chrisbree3467]

You’re sitting here talking about it. That’s what REN wants. Thanks for reacting Stacey, have you seen Money Game 1 and 2?❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@mario19o85]

You know that you have to listen to parts 1 and 2 now, right? 😊

[@Steve_W27]

My OCD can’t cope with people who don’t watch parts of any things in order 🤯

[@sputukgmail]

At least MG1-3 didn’t have to be in order :)

[@Steve_W27]

@@sputukgmail no, but you appreciate it better and even have somewhat of a nostalgic feel, if you’ve seen the other two first, because of the references and the subtle melody

[@sputukgmail]

@@Steve_W27 true - the hostage hoods make more “sense” (?) - and the rain at the end, and finger in the trigger of a money game etc - but then, I’d also so it makes sense to have heard MG1 before Hi Ren so you get the She Sells Sea Shells taunt fully - but no one seems to bother too much about that :)

[@FooDogDat]

MG3 was only dropped at the end of Ren's elaborate online collaborative puzzle solving game which you can still check out. Each video had a solution that when solved opened a new video with a new puzzle until you got to the 'Prize' video, then the penultimate music video of 'Eden' then Money Game Part 3 dropped. 'Eden' itself is social commentary, another basis of social control discussed (I have comments on it but it would be spoilers here). The videos before it also had things to say or were Easter Eggs about things in other videos like The Tales (What did 'Stevie' do after his attack on 'Violet?'). Ren's 'Money Game ARG (Alternative Reality Game) contest. - - - - - Ren ~ Money Game ARG Playlist (Complete Series) Hexenkind1 27 videos 2,511 views Updated yesterday The whole money game ARG playlist with explanation videos from @RikaShae for the FULL money game EXPERIENCE (kzbin.info/aero/PLyK6PA3ZIW6ZTuGxd3FCTxAz1naJkQC6J)

[@mjvdg4194]

So Violet’s Tale was the first song I heard from Ren, and I didn’t even know it was a trilogy for months I think. They were released a long time apart. Like it entirely works and is emotionally impactful without the context, which I think sometimes is lacking in these multi-part songs. I loved the genre meshing in it! Yeah I didn’t understand the final line, thought it might’ve been himself or band mates or something. Something I learned more recently was that the first line of Violet hints it’s a prequel, but only for longer time fans: “London city, far from pretty, 2005.” Jenny’s Tale came out in 2019 and the Screech was 14, so going back to 2005 would be his birth!

[@mikeperrett1539]

It's all those things as well as a cautionary tale, a lesson and a prophecy

[@bobsmith613]

His collab with Chinchilla "chalk outlines" is one of my favorite. "Sick boi" is a close second. They both touch on how we struggle; how outsiders fail to help sometimes; and how we still keep moving forward.

[@KarbonSym]

I’m truly enjoying watching the emotions you go through watching REN’s videos.

[@michaelphipps8647]

MG3 should win every major music video award!!!

[@TheJeremyButler]

Really glad you liked this. Excited to see which songs you react to next.

[@Tearnofear]

already saw the inside of a Barrel from a loaded Gun, so the Gun-Part gives lots of chills xD This Video won Best Music Video, Best Director MV and a honorable mention for best Cinematography at International Music Video Awards

[@1982chiXu]

Ren is awesome, but you need to mix the heavy with the light to get both sides of him. He has a lot of fun songs, and recently he's released a couple of mashups that are just musically incredible. The Back on 74 mashup especially features some of the insane versatility of his singing, for example. Check them out :)

[@VictorPizzola]

Agreed. Fun time." Power". "Genesis" and ii you want hilarious his answer to Dotta [a battle rapper] who dissed Ren [ an innuendo ] challenge that Ren answered 'off the cuff' Warning Strong Language but as always a message. Ren is a gift to the world. Happy birthday Ren

[@FendertheBender]

He's got his own style, so many different things blended in to one. A one in a million if you ask me. Glad he's using his newfound fame to spread a good message.

[@russellsearch7925]

Another superb Ren reaction. I echo what others have said in that you must react to parts 1 & 2. The lyrics to both are outstanding but in particular part 2 will blow your mind.

[@DogDocKat]

This is a masterpiece. Another mostly one take video (one cut, when they went behind the wheelchair and only because of the water). This was an amazing performance and his storytelling is incredible. Ren is a true artist. Really enjoyed your reaction 💜💜

[@MuresanBol77]

Lyrical genius, story-telling extraordinaire, time and time again. Great review afterwards...very well done!

[@jeffwarden3013]

You are very endearing and I wish you well. The Renegades will always be there for some support, kindness and understanding. Big push "Swan Song" is worth a watch

[@peterveste6976]

thank you for continuing to react and support my favourite artist ever I have been a Ren fan for seven years please please more Ren ❤❤❤

[@kevinsteele8874]

Great reaction; Ren is a true Performance Artist.

[@Andy.Smurphy]

Hats off to you, you are one of the few reactors that got the message and picked up on the "this is not entertainment". As i have commented on other reactions, if you listen to this and change nothing in your life then this is only entertainment ...

[@gable354]

Just wait till you hear his busking with the big push, chinchilla and sam thompkins!

[@jasonklenetsky5687]

So many good tunes you have yet to discover from Ren. I’m looking forward to following you along on the journey.

[@iamsquatty]

The world could really use a few more rens in it. He has such a good message in his songs. 😊💜💜

[@sigally]

I really like how you do your reactions! I know there's a lot of suggestions but Ren just dropped a new song a week ago. He's singing and it's so vibey with a surprise. It's called Back on 74 /Message in a Bottle Retake. So different from what you've heard so far. Typically it's a good idea to react to Ren's newest tracks. The community gets very excited and usually wants to see reactions from them. The only part written by him is the middle section, the others are his interpretations of the 2 songs.

[@Space_Ranger]

Ren is amazing. I look forward to every new song he comes out with.

[@donsmith3573]

Ren just keeps on giving us alternative music entertainment, thanks for sharing

[@juliannemil6158]

You are simply vulnerable, adorable and lovable. Explorative and absorbent like a child. Like I do follow a long list of reactors some of them really have toolboxes filled up the lid. Majority of reactors though are gibberish and pretentious. Yours warm the heart.

[@lawrencesmith6536]

Thanks. One of the most insightfull reactions to Rens music/message that I have watched

[@Dr.Brummel]

A great song by Ren about social pressure is 'Dominoes (Official Lyric Video)'. Maybe after some lighter stuff of Ren.

[@peterveste6976]

Ren did a great cover of War pigs with his band Big Push am sure you would like it ,and I also want to thank you as a cancer survivor myself, you are a strong young woman and I wish you good health in the future, love your honest reactions sending big love from me and my cat Dior ❤❤❤

[@JonNo86]

We really need to get you listening to more of his up beat and happier songs lol. Check out his latest release Back on 74/Message in a Bottle Retake.

[@calebschnarr7449]

Ren is the real deal. Chalk Outlines and Humble are two of my favorites… but you really can’t go wrong. Check out his busking band “the big push”. Lots of original mashup covers that are amazing! You are stunning and the way your mind works is more beautiful. Keep it up! If you like hip hop check out Harry Mack (freestyle artist but coming out with some epic writtens recently).

[@kennethflegel5736]

Omg England puts out. I haven't seen anything this original since Pink Floyd.

[@TerranceReid-e8t]

Ren is not a musician he is not a rapper he is not a poet he is so much more than that he has and is something that’s been lost to this world for many Ren is a 👉Bard👈 a master of his craft.

[@scifimonkey3]

Loved the reaction but now give yourself an emotional break and watch ‘Losing it’ .

[@drewbombs7059]

You should do Ren loosing it, it's a happier version of Ren's music or his cover of bongo bong.

For a different side of Ren, check out his band The Big Push doing "I Shot The Sheriff / Road To Zion / Hip Hop" mashup.

[@spinalobifida]

The violinist accidentally got wet. They had to buy her a new bow. But big kuddos for her not reacting. They used corn syrup as rain to show up better on Ren. There's a video on how this was made.

[@zeiyuri]

Now when you've seen some of the more "serious" songs, i'd recommend watching some more relaxed songs of his, I'd say "Loosing it" is a personal favorite of mine, but there's so many options. If you want some more live type videos i do really recommend his live version of Murderer, however i do also recommend watching the normal version of that song first c:

[@darthgardner]

Ren does not put all his musical talent into one basket ! he puts it into many, each with its own style and that often can surprise. you may think that one video would be his style but then he bowls you over with complete opposites.

[@marcasoceallaigh5362]

Listen to his song Dominoes from the album Freckled Angels I think you will enjoy it.

[@sputukgmail]

It is a great track and sure it will be enjoyed, but it is another heavy one - and maybe time to experience some of the Lighter Side of Ren first?

[@scottlaurenson3390]

Like the way you look at it 1 and 2 next 😁 lyric video for 2 is the full piece the live is a shorter still 🔥 but best with the full lyric video ✌️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

[@reikibomb8036]

blows my mind to watch part 3 of anything first... they don't have to be watched in order, I just don't understand the reasoning because the assumption should be that if something is in parts, they go in order 🤯

[@ArchaosAngel]

The only other music video that hits me as hard as this, Jenny & Screech and Hi, Ren is Story by NF. I would 1000% recommend watching the music video of Story if you have not seen it before. It is so impactful.

Do Back on 74 / Message in a Bottle retake and Fred again Mashup for some singing Ren.

[@Gdpud]

Feelin you!! plz react to the Monet-Game parts 1 & 2... it will all make more sence then! :D But apart from the emotional rollercoaster of a ride so far - we need to hit your up with some 'Feel-good' vides from Ren & the band he is a part of "The Big Push" Check out "I shot the Sheriff" & maybe "Watch-out" (an Original) Also "Murderer" Acoustic version... to showcase Ren's talent further! :) 🙌🙌
