Ren ~ The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Better Resolution Re-Upload) - I Promise I Got the End 

I’m a singer/songwriter from LA turned licensed trauma therapist for women in Phx. When I found “Hi Ren” last year it truly changed me. It has now changed the lives of so many of my clients too who finally feel heard, seen and not alone. I also manage chronic illness and pain and I have never heard someone express the complexities of chronic illness/medical trauma like Ren. I lost my record contract in my 20’s because of the rollercoaster of chronic illness. I spent years dancing with the light and the dark and almost lost myself completely many times. Now at 45, I am truly living my purpose and I could never have imagined that this would be my beautiful life. I would never have found my purpose had I not survived the falls and started over time and time again. I say that I get to sing my heart song every day. Ren inspired me to let my trapped songbird out of her cage and I am now writing and singing music again for the first time in 20 years. I love watching people react to Hi Ren and am so glad you showed up on my feed. SUBED. It brings me so much joy watching you discover his art and connect with his genius. Edited to add: Ren has an 8 part series on his other channel all about his illnesses. Here’s a link to Chapter 1. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hQP7YoQdF3Y.htmlsi=SBwcU1ZtxjsKXGX8

Oh my goodness you precious young man💛 I can’t thank you enough for your empathetic reaction! I’m on the brink of 62 years young and discovered Ren 2 years ago. This beautiful soul seriously sustained me through one of the darkest periods of my life. I’ve been feeding off of multiple reactions daily since. I’m keeping it real when I say you bypassed them all❣️ Ren was highlighting social injustices in this piece and you quickly understood the victimization of all the characters without judgement! Grateful for the faith you restored in my spirit for the generations following me. Life after Ren is never the same and trust me, yours will be abundantly impacted in every good way possible with your thoughtful reactions! Ren brought me here but make no mistake YOU my new friend will keep me here! I can’t wait to watch and see what’s in store for you in this beautiful Reneverse💫 Congratulations🎉

Loved your reaction! I could tell at the end that it started clicking 😂 So, Jenny a silent 14 year old streetwalker (walked the street a thousand times in her high-heeled shoes) and Screech a violent troubled youth are twins. Violet was a victim of abuse from her father and then her partner Stevie. She birthed Jenny and James (Screech) and passed. James inherited the traits of his father Stevie, and Jenny inherited the traits from her mother, Violet. Jenny and James went into the system, grew up not knowing of each other, just for James to kill Jenny. James gets shot and passes. They die (almost) side by side, as they were birthed. The way Ren can make us see something so violent and brutal with only his words is unmatched by anyone else I've heard.

Samuel Perry-Falvey is the videographer for many many of Ren's cinematic videos. Also the driver in the video for Power, which should absolutely be on your playlist if it isn't yet, along with Genesis.

I’ve literally watched this trilogy TONS with different reactors, and I legit DID start crying watching it with you. 😭 Thankfully, you brought me back with a giggle when the realization hit you at the end. 🤭 lol. Ren’s storytelling is phenomenal in this … and let’s be honest, the rhyming, singing and the guitar playing … puh-leeeeez! 👏 I will NEVER get tired of watching it, but I think you may have been my fave so far! 😊🫶 Keep up the great work, sir! We might have come for Ren, but we are staying here because of YOU! ❤

Such a hard hitting trilogy highlighting generational abuse. Violet dies, you can assume Stevie went to prison and Jenny and Screech end up in the system, separated. Jenny like her mother is quiet. Screech like his father is violent. They were born aligned side by side. They died on the same night a street apart. It’s a hard watch as this stuff happens and Ren’s gift at writing allows you to see everything in your own mind. Great reaction. Never apologise for having a heart filled with empathy. 💜

It's so hard hitting isn't it? I've heard it referred to as 'Ren Night Shyamalan' due to the ending. No criticisms, you're doing brilliantly.

Re-posting this then: I haven't been commenting much, but your reaction is so thoughtful, man. I've literally watched dozens of reactions to this piece (ranging from really popular reactors to really small ones) and there's, I dunno, so much genuity and honesty to it, thank you for sharing that! That's what Ren's music does to us all, I guess. But then again, yours is the one that shows how empathetic and kind of a soul you are. Keep it up, bro! Cheers from Poland.

Comment for the algo! Will never get tired of watching reactions to this one. 🖤

Well done man. Really appreciate your empathy toward Screech and the police officer, many don’t get that on first watch. Enjoy your rewatch and digging into the layers that are revealed.

Love your reaction to Ren.. I'm 66 yrs and found Ren just recently. His music has changed my life. I've subscribed to your channel BTW. ❤

Speaking of you’re “losing it”… if u like rap you should listen to his song Losing It!!

I’m glad you whatched the video when Ren explains the Kujo situation, thanks for taking the time to see his caracter You should really whatch his video about succes when he got 1 million subs, it gives you a glimpse of who Ren is a person

How do we learn to have empathy and understanding for all humans? The storyteller tells a tale of woe with an impactful message to us all.

The sound and visual are both great in this one, good job, Tre! This trilogy is ROUGH and yet beautiful. Ren's talent is way out there - next solar system kind of out there!

“Elastic bands only stretch so far and then snap” Troubles ~ Ren

“….the shrill cry of justice cut him like the sharpest knife” An overlooked piece of poetic genius. The irony of “justice cutting him” having just sliced up Jenny…

The moment you realized. Jenny and Screech were the twins.

He definitely “cooks the noodles” Brilliant, beautiful reaction to this masterpiece. Subbed to share in your magical journey further into the Reniverse. Much love from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

I'm really enjoying your reactions! Please don't worry or apologize about getting choked up or shedding tears! Most of us are crying right along with you (I know I was anyway, lol). Oh, and we will absolutely watch long reactions 🤣 May I make a small suggestion? When you pause it, go back a couple of seconds before pushing play. I've seen too many reactors miss important lyrics by not going back a little bit! Again, only a suggestion... I know in our excitement that some of us can come off kinda bossy or demanding, lol. 💚💙💜

Another beautiful reaction. I love that you have so much sympathy for all the characters. Often when we read news stories about these types of incidents, we forget that every person involved is a human being...even if they've done something terrible. Some people have so little resources or power in life that it's a miracle if their lives don't turn out tragic You seem to be a bit unsure of yourself as a reactor. You're great. Just found out this morning that one of my sisters loves you, too❤❤❤

Nyc usa 74yr old woman appreciate all the the people of the world appreciate ren

You are a fantastic and insightful reactor. You are the first person, as far as I know, who has shown empathy for Screech. And you've made me think a lot about that. He must have grown up in a ghastly environment. I'm a 70 year old woman from South Africa and a complete and utter renegade. As an English teacher, I have noticed Ren has extensive vocabulary that he draws from. Thank you for your reaction.

Ya got to hit up Suicide and For Joe. Back story is Ren was literally minutes away before his best friend jumped. Talk about misty eyes.

If you want one where he cries, Suic!de, For Joe, or Depression

I was getting worried. I was right at the end of the video and got an error, then it said it had been deleted. Glad it isn't really gone. Great reaction and nice to see someone emotionally invested. Ren is such an amazing storyteller, and I wish I could see this trilogy for the first time again. Instead I have to watch others watch it for the first time.

"I read that Jenny's character was inspired by a sex worker in London, and the officer's line, 'such a shame,' was taken from a real news story. Screech’s character was a boy named James, while Violet’s story came later, reflecting the way they reenacted their parents' behaviour, what a crazy twist / ending and What’s incredible is that all of this was recorded live! Ren is truly a genius of our time. I love watching your reactions - they're so emotive and show such deep understanding of Ren's storytelling through music." And that’s why you are getting all the love and likes! ❤

One of my favorite parts of the Tales is at the beginning of Violet’s Tale. After his intro but before he gets into the song. He stands up, adjusts himself, you hear his breath and the slight ping of a guitar string. Any other song or video, this would either have been edited out or just completely insignificant. But, with Ren, he builds this anticipation and tension with silence that’s palpable. - Also, as an America, the “Two zero zero five” I thought was a postal code or something for London. It wasn’t until many listens I realized it was 2005 the year. And, 14 years later…2019…when the tales released. Great reaction, man. Loved it.

This is what Ren does. He just breeds love!!😂❤

I loved the Three Count there at the end while your mind was spinning trying to realize what Ren said about the twins. Well done. One thing that I've always noticed, is that both Jenny and Screeches Tales end with the line, "It's such a shame". One way to look at this is as the indifference of society to these sort of things. We've all hear or read a news story about someone being killed and we think, "oh, that's a shame", and life goes on, nothing changes.

Thank you for sharing another wonderful reaction with us! Samuel is Samuel Perry Falvey, a friend of Ren's and the videographer for several of Ren's videos. He's very talented and has started to get noticed, winning a few awards for some of Ren and Sam's videos. Also, yes - Ren is self-taught on every instrument he plays (and there are a few!) I saw an interview once with Ren where he said that he "sees the shape of the music" that he wants to create, and then he figures out how to make the instrument create the same "shape." I think Ren was just born with music flowing through him. Oh, and if you do want to hear Ren cry on a song, listen to Suic*de.

Loved the way i could literally see the wheels turning in your brain. Love that Ren makes people think. And its awesome to see another person in the Atlanta area enjoy some Ren. I was beginning to think that i was the only one lol. Great reaction 👏. Peace

Never apologise for showing emotions, remember "we are human beings". Awesome reaction again Trè.

Samuel is the videographer he works with a lot. Money game pt3 and Kujo Beat Down are his work too

Your empathetic response is the strongest one I have seen of screech…. Yes, people talked about how sad the situation is… and it is… but the way you slice through and share you connection and interpretation…. I love it…. Also, this is what blew me away.. it was like a 1 man play… deserving of the highest accolades. The new thing I was thinking thanks to your comment on the aged sound. I totally agree.. there’s a timelessness to it… which lead me to a bit deeper on why this feels so timeless.. I think it’s the marriage of the traveling minstrel with his songs of tales going city to city to make a living once upon a time…. So his walking around brings that impression… but also… the use of classical guitar mixed with modern day poetry/rap… so the combo makes this a timeless piece… everything about these tales i love… the continuous shot, live performance … just wow… I’m excited to watch you experience this… this was me like 6 months ago.

This is the first time EVER that I've commented on a RU-vid video but I felt compelled: You sir are an absolute gift to the reaction community 💗 Your positive energy, kindness and empathy radiates through the screen and I am SO pleased you found Ren and that we get to go on this reaction journey with you. Big love from Southwest England 🤗xxx P.S. This is the first time I think I've ever seen a reactor show true empathy towards Screech, realising his anger comes from a place of fear - he is also a victim in this tragic tale but his trauma led to him making BAD decisions.

we see ur aaaahhhhhaaaaa moment lol , much love ! don't be sorry for feeling the story and song... its a genuine reaction and Imo that's the best!!! not to mention its part of what makes Ren loved by many .. he's got that "special spark"... as one of my favorite comedians would say ... Robin Williams... "You're only given one little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it'"

I'm a 57 yr old gen x'er and definitely not a rap fan , but Ren is an amazing artist and I'm a fan of everything he does .

Thank you for the reaction. The look on your face as you started to put the Violet, Jenny & Screech puzzle together. It is truly an amazing storytelling from Ren this.❤

Two twins… born side by side on the same day. Raised separately, never knowing of each others existence. Died one street apart on the same day. The tragedy of generational trauma. A truly heartfelt and empathic reaction. I think we should 100% sympathize with Screech, as well. And Richard. Ren is incredibly rare and special. I hope he truly truly understands what a difference he makes. ☮️♥️

Ya, I feel like you were smart enough to get it, but you paused it right at the end and messed up the flow big time. The twins. Both 14. Jenny working the streets, high heels and rosey on her cheeks and Screech. Generational trauma. They were born and died side by side on the same days.

Money games 1,2,3. How to be me, Chalk Outlines, Hunger, Animal Kingdom. You can't go wrong reacting to any of Ren's music.

Great video, enjoying your ride with Ren so far. There’s SO MUCH - keep going!! ❤

Born and died on the same day, just like their mother and father and Patrick was at screeches girlfriends! Genius

I love watching reaction videos to Ren's songs. I've watched literally thousands of reactions from people new to Ren in the year since I was introduced to him, through a reaction video for "Hi Ren" in March of '23. I often dig into the reactor's library to see what else they've published and I'm amused by how often they deeply dive into the Ren Rabbit Hole and both they and their channel become, not just Renagades but, quite literally a Ren tribute site until they have devoured every bit of Ren they can find! That being said, out of all the reaction videos to his music I've watched, you are literally only the second person I've actually subscribed to. Your wit, drama, expressions, and insight are just fantastic and I'm pleased to have found your channel a few days ago!

Man! I was saying in my head please rewind and listen the whole way through! Would have loved to see your reaction when you realize that they are brother and sister! But still another great reaction! Keep it up! PS I want more. 😊

I came back to this video after watching your Sickboi reaction and getting a message saying the vid was deleted. My first comment on this video is gone, the like I left is also gone. RU-vid be acting up or something. Anyway, much love from 🇨🇦 Watching again for your numbers

I don’t think I’m gonna pause this one too much - immediately pauses LOL. that’s what we love, REN changing the reaction in real time.

I'm 69 and 18 months on the Ren journey. This young man is pure heart and soul. He is a genius putting out masterpieces.

Love the empathy - as said many times before, watching reactions is the closest we will get to our first experience again.

Truly enjoyed your reaction! Don't apologize or hold back! It's a beautiful thing to witness someone being enraptured, moved, and inspired.

This is one of the most beautifully heartfelt and empathic reactions. You really needn't apologise for tearing up, nor should you hold them back. I'm sure I speak for many Renegades when I say that a lot of us have. Myself included. Keep doing what you are doing, continue being true to yourself. Ren has somehow managed to take us all on it, in all it's intricately self-reflective ways. Most of us have done this within our daily lives and watched how it's beauty manifests itself within us and in our worlds. It's a pleasure watching you, an obviously kind hearted young man discovering it. Thank you so much for sharing these intimate moments. Peace, brother.😊

Thank you for your honest, empathic and emotionally beautiful reaction.

Awesome reactions to Ren, the master of art and talent. I'm 48yo and have never noticed another artist musician who is so true, relatable and just pure awesomeness. Keep up the great work 👍

Bro. First of all, great reaction. I watch Ren reactions videos every day since I don’t know when, but it’s been a while. A LOT of reactors get emotional watching his videos, specifically this one. It’s an emotional rollercoaster. I cry everyday watching reactors watching and listening to Ren for the first time. 🙂 He’s anAmazing artist.

Jenny and Screech were brother and sister but we're separated at birth when Violet died.

You can definitely see how many people over 50 listen to ren because they love to put their age in every single post lol

I came back to see the ending. I was watching when it just went blank and no video available. I figured you figured it out. ♥

Samuel Perry-Falvey is the videographer for many of Ren's videos

Welcome Renegade. All the love fam

Glad you realised it was in a weird resolution 😂 Ill watch this again later as the first was deleted.

THis is the one., Enjoy the Reniverse

Your reaction to this was absolutely beautiful ❤

That silent conversation you had at the end was so loud! Could see it clicking 😂😂

I initially followed to see your REN reactions! Glad to see all the love over the world as a RENagade. This one is intense! Great channel

'The statue she was turned to butter in a breath' - not 'her breath'. 'A breath' describes the time it took for Jenny to go from being frozen by fear, statue-like, to being limp, soft (like butter), dead.

Hey man, don't sweat the length of a genuine reaction vid. I watch these to connect with the world. I would have loved to listen to you talk it out while your thoughts were cooking! I had the biggest grin when you were putting the pieces together! ❤

What gets me in this one is Ren’s ability to make you feel empathy for EVERY character individually. Jenny (“intuition making her scared”), Screech (a 14yr old boy!), Officer (“shaken by the boy that he claimed”). It’s crazy. A short story-and a wash of perspectives and emotions. 🤯

You don’t need to hold back. We have all been through it.

And this is exactly what music is supposed to do. Hits the heart, gets the brain moving and brings emotion to the forefront. Awesome reactions

Naw man I appreciate the long videos and all your thoughts on the subject matter. Please don’t apologize for taking your time to process things and get your thoughts out, it’s what I love about watching a reaction video to Ren, or any artist I enjoy. Could see this hit hard. Hit me hard too, everyone I hear it, it hits a little deeper. Appreciate your genuineness and empathy towards the violent cycle people get caught up in or born into. Take care man ❤️

I am hooked on your reactions, man. That gasp at the end, when you “got it” and had to end, lost for words. I would definitely watch a 32+ minute video from you, any day. Your insight (and empathy) is lovely. Just what Ren is aiming for, I believe.

51 Year old Renegade here. So much hits home just as a human being. And born and raised NE of Atlanta. LIke Dalton in Roadhouse - we're nice until it's time to not be nice and then we bring it with our whole chest.

Always amazing to watch reactions to Rens genius; and his buddy Sam for his great camerawork. 😊 I am convinced the fast guitar run at the beginning of Screeches tale is to get our hearts pumping; like screech's heart is in his panic after he f'd up. So genius. 🔥 It's a powerful social commentary that needs to be addressed in so many areas. We are failing those victims of domestic violence, generational trauma, and the broken systems everywhere that fail the innocent children caught in the middle.

My absolute favourite flavour of RU-vid is Ren reactions. I love how I get that first hand experience of Ren through someone else’s eyes. Let me absorb your shock and realisation that Ren is a genius. ❤

Thank you for your thoughtful and empathetic reaction!

No need to apologize for feeling. I guarantee Ren has a few songs that will have you in shambles and it’s so good to let it flow. It’s healing. Another great reaction thanks for taking us with you on this journey. 🖤

Now you see why this is one of the most suggested reactions. When Ren tells a story that we already know the ending, we get to relive our first time hearing it by seeing how you react. All along the way we just keep saying to ourselves “just wait…” I just found Ren 6 days ago, but have seen Hi Ren at least 75 times. The best part of the journey is seeing other people’s first reaction. So grab your popcorn and pull up a chair. You will enjoy the show…

Your reaction is so heartfelt. I cried. The creativity is unmatched.

You’ve quickly become my favorite reactor. Thank you for your thoughtful insights.

Genuinely have not cried at this for a while. Thank you for making it new again. Hugs to you.

You never have to apologize for feeling and showing emotions. I loved your Ren reactions. I am looking forward to watching more of your reactions. You sound quality is great on my end. Thanks.

You have such a wonderful energy and your thoughtful reactions have been a delight. Your southern level of ‘bless your heart’ pettiness made me grin.😂

Dude, I'm a 60-year-old man and Ren is the best singer/Rapper/Artist/songwriter/musician most talented artist I have ever listened too. Love him.

I really enjoyed your reaction to Jenny and Screech. The "wait...what? Uhm, what? Noooo... What??" expression on your face at the end was so honest and real. Enjoy the rabbit hole, I subbed to go through it with you.

Hahaha loved the gear turning in the end. Everything Ren does is done by Ren and his friends. Samuel, or Sam, is a friend of his who does most of the video work, planning and everything else around the video that isn't the actual music. Ren also has a pretty clear vision of course of what it should be from watching a lot of movies being sick for so long.

Loved the reaction! Bit of background info that I think is quite interesting: Ren wrote jenny's tale after reading an article about a girl who had been stabbed in the street. The article ended with the words "it's such a shame". Ren thought this phrase to be a very cynical understatement of the tragedy that had happened. So his repeated use of the phrase in these songs is basically a criticism of the empathy lacking way the media often reports on cases like this. Also don't ever apologise to us for crying on your videos, if this song doesn't get you nothing will

The look on your face as you realized the plot twist at the end… The song is heart breaking.

I came here because of Ren, but stayed because of you. Really loved your reactions. Love and support from Finland!

Thank you for your reactions.. I've subbed to follow your journey as a fellow RENegade.. I have watched these Tales many times and it never fails to hit hard... Ren has got people talking about subjects that are far too often swept under the carpet... one of the reasons why we love him

This is such a hard hitting one ,and your reaction and emotions show that so clearly ❤ it is incredible and you just showed us that , love your reaction, you are such a great reactor 😊 For something lighter from Ren try back in 74 live ,he s so good ,and this show s his vocals off so well . Also Ren and Chinchilla, chalk outlines, it's beautiful ❤

I absolutely love and appreciate the level of empathy you exude. You have a beautiful soul♡

What a beautiful soul you are... You showed so much empathy throughout this reaction and I just had to comment to tell you that it's ok to cry.... In fact as a man it's important you know that your tears are just as valid as any woman's.... Anyone who says different is part of the problem. Renegades love Ren because he's able to create music and space for us to connect to difficult topics and emotions in ways that just speak to our souls.... He puts my emotions into words for me and that means I feel less alone in them The Renegades will continue to find you and support you... Don't ever apologise for being you and bring authentic in your feelings.... We're here for it. ❤

It's great to watch people reacting to Ren for the first time. I watched you do Hi Ren and loved it.. I love that Ren 's success has blessed so many reactors and continues to do so. I first heard Ren over a year ago by accident. I almost turned it off and I'm so thankful I didn't. When Ren says he feels like he was put on earth to defeat evil, I truly believe that as well. Great job on the reaction..

You are such an empathetic reactor! These songs hit mighty hard. Of course we’d watch a 32 min video!! Take care, and continue to enjoy your journey into the Reniverse! 🥰

New sub for your trip down the REN rabbit hole. iv been an avid fan of his for a couple of years and every song he delivers is a complete surprise,you can’t guess what’s coming because of his diversity. Love your energy keep on stepping,peace from across the pond

Loved your reaction at the end where it clicks. My jaw was also on the floor the first time. Well done! Keep up the good work!

Gosh you are a beautiful human ❤ I haven't even watched your reaction yet, just listening to you talking and I've been here for a few - thank you for being on the Ren train with us X

A truly beautiful reaction to a truly beautiful song. Thank you for sharing your perspective

So happy to see you on that Ren Journey , happy to discover you to . Your kindness is contagious. Love from France 🫰🏼
