@@wigglezreact pt 1 is definitely worth looking at ! it's a performance piece with a brilliant video, not just a song and has a great message. Do both please 🙏
Full trilogy is a rollercoaster. Maybe take a pause before you climb aboard. And if it’s Ren’s pipes you’d like to hear, then Chalk Outlines Ren X Chinchilla. Be the only reactor not to mention her nails…😂 just her voice and their harmonies are worth the visit. X
Oh and I prefer a 2nd reaction than a 1st on... At least you're better informed regarding Rens history etc... I've probably watched thousands of RENactions and you're doing a superb job...
Great reaction. “Hi Ren" is the song that put Ren on everyone's radar since December; it went viral and has garnered more than 6 million views since its debut, but he has been creating great music for more than ten years. Ren’s music videos are generally recorded live, often in a single take, although not necessarily the first take, and from various camera angles. His release, "Sick Boi," is almost another chapter to "Hi Ren." Many of Ren’s songs resonate with people because he addresses struggles that many others face every day. Ren plays multiple instruments (acoustic, electric, and bass guitar, piano, drums), has impressive vocals, is an excellent storyteller, and is quite the philosopher and poet. He is considered by many a modern bard; he calls his music “bardcore.” Ren’s earliest recordings on RU-vid are from his time in a band called “Trick The Fox,” consisting of Ren and his buddies Charlie and Tommy. Unfortunately, the band performed only briefly due to Ren’s onset of health issues. They are very talented. A fun clip to watch is “The Mash Up.” Ren’s trilogy "The Tale of Jenny/Screech/Violet" has been likened to a Shakespearean tragedy and is a prime example of his genius; it is a master’s class in storytelling and also showcases his guitar skills. The three acts are haunting, and the conclusion will catch you off guard. The trilogy needs to be watched in the order given, as this is the flow of the storyline and is best watched as a whole rather than piecemeal. Ren’s collaborations with Chinchilla (“Chalk Outlines,” “How to Be Me,” “Sexual Healing,” “One Dance/Drunk in Love”) are beautiful and showcase his singing voice. His live music videos are especially impressive. Ren's personal reflections are threaded through many of his songs; "Insomnia," "Depression," “Diazepam," “Penitence,” “Dear God,” “Heretic,” “Dominos,” his "Freckled Angels" album, just to name a few, all deserve a listen. His song "Money Game" (Part I & II) is another recommendation, although it is less of a personal song than it is an indictment of greed and the resulting injustices in this world. Ren’s Hip Hop/Rap style songs are all worth checking out if you enjoy this genre; they are pretty amazing. Check out “The Hunger,” “Genesis,” “What You Want,” “Losing it (FISHER rap retake),” “Right here, right now (Fatboy Slim one shot retake),” "Life is Funny," “Love Music (Parts 1, 2, and 3),” “Crucify Your Culture,” “Power,” and his latest release, “Bittersweet symphony (The Verve retake).” As I recently discovered, Ren also recorded a cover of “Can't Help Falling In Love (Elvis Cover),” that is simply beautiful. Then there are his performances with Sam Tompkins (“Blind Eyed,” “Earned it /Mans World / Falling,” “Walking on the moon/No Diggity”), Eden Nash (“Humble,” “Ocean”), Bibi (“Crutch,” “Ahiahiaoha”), Molly McKinna (“Penitence”), his former bandmate, Romain Axisa (“French Song”), which are all great. "The Big Push" busking sessions, concerts, and live recordings all are awesome and well worth checking out. Their covers of "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop," "Wade in the Water/Nina Simone/Trouble so Hard," "An Englishman in New York," “Bongo Bong,” “War Pigs,” the songs "Oh My Woman," “Swan Song,” “Sweet Little Lady," "It's Alright," "Watch Out," “Dignity,” and so many others are equally impressive. In anticipation of his stay in Canada for more treatments, Ren prepared some music ahead of time to be released over the next six months that he expects to be gone. He released “Sick Boi” and “Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve retake),” which is another masterful work. Ren has hinted that he might release his newest song on March 29, which is his birthday.
In The Hunger Ren talks about the pendulum swaying In Money Game part 2 he uses She Sells sea shells In whst you want he mentions Hi Ren (and that was prior to releasing Hi Ren) Many of his songs are linked... Its like little Easter eggs just to see if people are listening...
Look forward to seeing more of your Ren reactions... Reacters are gaining a lot of mileage out of Ren's content. It would be nice if you all encourage your followers to subscribe to his channel 🤔
Check out what LD50 on the back of his chair means See the two shadows. One for ‘bad’ Ren, one for good Ren The tapping on the guitar only on bad Ren Little lamp for good Ren Big lamp for bad Ren All in one take
If you are not going to do the trilogy in one go I wouldn’t bother doing it as it wouldn’t make sense and if you split them into 3 vids. A subscriber lets say logs in for the first time for a couple days. The third of the trilogy is the first in their suggestion list they click on it which then ruins the rest or at least makes them less impactful. Knowing what happens at the end of a film would deter me from ever watching it as what’s the point I already know what’s gonna happen lol
The discordant notes are meant to make you uncomfortable... Thats the point of the devils chord... Its rumoured to have been banned in Church music... Ren has used it purposefully as Evil should not be pleasant to listen too...
I take it you've not listened to Chalk outlines and How to be me or him singing with his band (The big Push) oh you've got one hell of a journey ahead of you.. Should you choose to take it... 🤷♀️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uSeCuR51rek.html
