SORRY for the formatting issue of Ren's video in this one. I made the mistake of not doing a test run in OBS before going straight into the videos. Please forgive me, I'm new here and still learning. GO CHECK OUT REN! @RenMakesMusic
SORRY for the formatting issue of Ren's video in this one. I made the mistake of not doing a test run in OBS before going straight into the videos. Please forgive me, I'm new here and still learning.
No worries! FYI... he's dropping a new video Thursday... perhaps trying your first live premiere is possible!? He's dropped some short takes of some of the song... it's Far Different from this or HI Ren! Ren has More layers than an onion, more Bars than a Prison!!! He cannot be placed in any one Genre!!! Also... Highly Recommend doing several Ren videos this week! He promised a new video every week for a month if he gets to 1 million subscribers by the end of the month... see his community posts on here! Anyway... the more reactors doing so this week Will get him there! Also... keep an eye on the comments... he replies often to reactors!!!
No problem. Things like that are bound to happen. Thanks for letting us know. I thought you may have done that on purpose for copyright reasons or something. As far as pausing, everyone is going to have their own preference. You're not going to hit the sweet spot for most now matter how you do it. For that reason I'd say just pause when you have something to say and not worry about it.
Your reaction was fantastic! I've watched over 100 reactions to the Tales, and yours was one of my favorites! The video clipping didn't take anything away from seeing how you were impacted by the songs, so I'm very glad you chose to publish this version. Looking forward to the journey with you!
@@lynzistringer You mentioned at the beginning that this was the first time you heard Ren really sing, well love, you truly haven't scratched the surface yet😁. Before you jump into all the fabulous recommendations everyone will throw at you from his band The Big Push like “I Shot the Sherriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop,” Or.. “Bongo Bong.” & Stings "Englishman in New York" or even his Callabs with Chinchilla singing his masterpieces "Chalk Outlines"ect, etc. You really need to watch him singing"Man's World" by James brown while busking live on the streets of Brighton UK with his mate Sam. You really haven't lived until you've watched this video Ren & Sam Tompkins - Earned it /Mans World / Falling 🤯🤯🤯
Wonderful heart felt reaction to a masterpiece. Ren does indeed love Sting and the Police. With Rens band, The Big Push - English Man In New York live. Beautiful vocals. Ultra chill vibe. Set on a couch on a terrace one take. Also, The Big Push - Bongo Bong (Manu Chao cover) is sensational. Roof terrace bottle of wine and chill. Just a Ukulele, Acoustic and bass plus 3 voices in harmony. Beautiful. You will love them both...
I grew up with the type of violence in Violets Tale and every time I listen to it it takes me back 50yrs and I’m living it all again, I’m not sure if that’s a good thing but this is the 1st song that has bought the memories flooding back.
Ren is a master of his art, not many artists can can do what he has done with this all in 1 take and keep you engaged for over 13 minutes it’s a truly stunning piece of work, tragic yes, heartbreaking of course but omg so fking good, Universities should scrub round studying Shakespeare and the Greek Tragedies and study this instead.
You were right. He was inspired by Sting and does a few covers of Sting and Police, Sting's old band. A lot of reactors ask how is Ren good at everything? This one cuts deep. Thank you for a really enjoyable reaction. Sleep well tonight.
... somehow in the tradition of old Celtic bards (he is from Wales by the way) A short opera in 3 acts in the style "Threepenny Opera". Ren himself called this style "Bardcore"...
I've seen people in the comments of my last Ren reaction mention "bardcore", and I think it's such a clever and accurate title for what Ren does. I love it!
What is amazing is, Ren really is in a class of his own when it comes to the use of language and story telling. Genius level. Your reaction was great, thanks for the ride.
@@lynzistringer It's not always necessary, but I've found it's a good idea to keep some tissues around for watching Ren videos. I've cried more since finding Hi Ren than I did the previous decade. 😉
I’m sure within the 100+ comments to this video someone has already said it, but just so you know, Ren does not copyright claim any reaction videos; he actually really enjoys and applauds reactors. So you’re fully free to show 100% of his videos in your reactions
Ren directs all his videos too, as well as producing all the music! He is Very Good at selecting locations too! You'll also see the ladies he's done duos with are Perfect compliments to the sound he wants in the video!!!
@lynzistringer and yeah... in all my years I've Never seen an artist as skilled as he is! Frankly... I have yet to find a Bad track from him! Not even a So So one!!! Please... dive into his older stuff... as well as his band The Big Push! Recommend Englishman in New York, Bongo Bong, Praise You and I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop (that version is best!)
Ren is a Rennaisance actor and Storyteller and musician a bolt from the Blue a true legend in our lifetimes. We are all very lucky to have him speak to us and for Us
Hi from the UK 🇬🇧 😊. Pleased you enjoyed our great nation ❤. The cycle of poverty and violence is the take away for me. I can see you, as others, find it emotional as do I. I really find it fantastic that people are watching ren for 10 or 15 minutes no problem. In the age of throw away it's heart warming to me ❤
Tough gig, seeing this for the first time. I must have seen it dozens of times and it still hits hard. He is astonishingly engaging. And let me tell you.... he can really sing. Check out some of his work with “The Big Push.” It’s a little lighter than much of his solo work. Maybe “I Shot the Sherriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop,” Or.. “Bongo Bong.” A little light relief :)
Hey friends, for anyone who’s saying my reaction is fake/manufactured/I was aware of the story beforehand: I should have explained this earlier, but I’m a singer and musician, and what you’re seeing from the very beginning of this reaction is me reacting to his VOICE. I am very easily moved by a beautiful voice. I’m sorry if I seem too dramatic or over the top from the beginning, but that’s just how I experience music. If this were a fake reaction, I probably would have planned something to say instead of just awkwardly trying to form sentences. I was in shock from the entire performance, not just the reveals.
dont apologise for being you, this was a great reaction and you have a new subscriber here. And by the way thats a great t-shirt, i suppose you could say screech would have been a lost boy. looking forward to some more of your reactions
Sting is a comparison I've made as well. Especially when he goes in to the higher register and head voice. I think you would really love Humble feat. Eden Nash. Kind of a ska/pop/rap mashup. And not emotionally draining. 🤣 Also, as already mentioned, his band The Big Push did a cover of Sting's Englisman In New York that really shows Ren's vocal range. Really enjoyed this. Subscribed!!!
I'm glad I wasn't wrong with that Sting comment... I should trust my first instinct next time 🤣 I've heard so much about The Big Push! Maybe my next Ren related reaction will be one from them!
I just hit subscribe when you stopped at 'butter in her breath'. You're the first reactor I've seen (and I cannot stop watching them all when it comes to Ren) who has picked that up with the due insight, emotion and respect. It's such a powerful line and yet no one picks up on it. The trilogy is stacked full of incredible and emotional and painful moments but that one always gets missed or misheard. I've finally found a reactor who caught it. Big respect for that.
Everything Ren does is either fun, sad, outrageous, crazy, deep with meaning, or educational. Ren is an enigma, although not a true enigma according to a "dictionary", since he tells us more about himself and his life than a true enigmatic person would, he isn't mysterious he doesn't hide anything. But he surprises most of us with his diversity. His singing, musical talent with many instruments, acting, narrating and performing is just so captivating, it must be an innate talent! I have been to many concerts and live plays and can see that what he does and is capable of doing is amazing with his health issues, the wisdom of the ages, and only 33! I wish he was one of my grandsons. ☺ LOL Ren is brilliant! Never underestimate Ren. He is like a box of chocolate, maybe just not as tasty, due to some of his thoughts floating around in his head. He surprises most of us with the skills he has that can draw you in. And he does DRAW you in, makes you LOOK makes you THINK makes you want to KNOW more. Is Ren a chameleon? A good definition (I googled of course) "The chameleon effect is not a strategic facsimile of a person's gestures and facial expressions. It's more natural. It's a tendency we all may adopt to imitate someone else's voice and physical gestures so as to create a bond of intimacy and friendship. This can be done either consciously or subconsciously". Yes I personally think Ren is a natural chameleon, and he uses that "innate talent" and is very creative with it.
I truly believe that Rens' parents have a fair bit to do with his abilities. His mother is/was a vocal/singing coach and his father, although he separated from his wife during Rens teenage years(don't quote me on that though), played/plays with a trio who play 12th and 13th century medieval court music, which to my mind is very evident in much of his note and chord choice throughout his catalogue.
@@AlSnoopsReid I agree, his parents must have, in some ways, provided and encouraged his talent and career choice. His background, upbringing, in some part his illness, for sure all influenced his talent and abilities. Thank you for comment. ☺
@@adam.4487 And thank you for yours my friend. I feel that what Ren is looking for is validation, in part due to the break up of his parents. I don't believe for one second that ego has any part whatsoever to play in his life choices, he is an artist, front left and centre, but one of a very few these days, who manages to put important messages out there, without shouting from the rooftops, claiming to be some kind of moral, woke ideologist idiot. As a 70 yr old male, I genuinely feel that today's youth would do well to listen to his messages and learn from them. I'll stop now or I'll have to break this down into chapters. Have a great day.
Ren tells the stories and the filming of the stories are all done so well i found myself looking for the bodies laying on the ground. The saddest thing about this is the fact each of these things are happening in every country at this very moment and the cycle continues
I think people like watching reaction videos to Ren because we like to be reminded of the first time we heard a song. You can't watch that in the same way twice so seeing someone else's reaction is nearly as good. Seeing your lost boys Tee took me back to being a teenager when I randomly found the soundtrack on cassette tape. I loved it but weirdly have never seen the movie. I'm gonna find the soundtrack on spotify now though. Cheers.
What I find amazing is the first two tales were prompted by a newspaper article but Violets tale was written two years latter. You mentioned Sting listen to Ren and the band The Big Push's cover of An Englishman in New York.
You can pause as much as you want. Keep in mind all of us viewing your reaction video are here for your reaction we can always watch the artists original video. I think reaction channels are popular because we want to tie into what we all felt upon hear/viewing/experience an artist’s video. Thank you for your honest and true reaction. I look forward to your future reactions and analyses. I also Subscribed.
Welcome to Ren a master lyricist, multi instrument musician, rapper, singer and poet. My daughter went to school with Ren and for me it’s such a thrill to his craft being appreciated across the world. However you have only scratched the surface of a very deep well of diverse yet wonder pieces of his work. It’s worth looking into his history, he has had and continues to have a very difficult life which I would be happy to tell you about should you wish. It’s worth knowing because it puts everything into perspective. I loved your genuine heartfelt reaction to the trilogy and I look forward to many more. Take care from Wales 🏴 UK 🇬🇧 x
Ren is the Original "Bardcore Genre Bender" The Master Bard himself ( Shakespeare ) would have understood exactly where Ren was coming from. Ren isn't just a songwriter but rather a Performance Art Master who blends music and character acting from all the styles over the last 500 years and makes it modern and relatable to all generations even if normally you may not be a fan of whatever genre he is currently performing. The Ren Rabbit Hole is Deep and Powerful!
that lost boys shirt and those red glasses are a mood! interesting fact, this isn't ren's only trilogy! there's love music parts 1 2 and 3 and he just recorded money game part 3, so now he's got a trilogy of trilogies! there's the sad tales trilogy, the happy love music trilogy, and the angsty sociopolitical ruminations of the money game trilogy.
OMG Lynzi! I have watched this trilogy so so many times, just myself and as reactions and I have to say your reaction was amazing. Like a lot of people I watch reactions to try and capture, through the person reacting, the same sentiments as when I watched it for the first time. Watching you react was a joy. The twist at the end was amazing, I could see on your face you knew as soon as he said “two twins” what was happening. Please carry on reacting to Ren, his collaborations and The Big Push as much as you can. I have subbed and can’t wait for your next reaction. Well done 😊
A very bold and brave statement by Ren on this generational systemic violence and poverty and their effects. A very touching reaction your empathy shows the light inside🌿💔
Great reaction! Most will suggest next to do Chalk Outlines Live (which is amazing) but to get a bit of a palate cleanser before digging into his heavier songs so soon, I think Power or Losing It are just plain fun while still showcasing his immense talent. Subbed for more Ren!🔥🔥🔥
As I've read it both Jenny and Screech were real people. Ren read the newspaper one day in 2019 and buried on the 6th or 7th page was a short "write-up" [I guess you'd call it] on the tragic death of two teenagers; a girl, Jenny [a young prostitute], and her killer [proper name James somebody] known in the Neiborhood as Screech. [Both 14 or at least Screech was] [the article ended calling it such a shame] He thought that kind of news [of the decay in society that resolves in such ways] deserved more attention. So, he wrote the first two of the trilogy shortly after reading of them. These few years later he took on the task of writing a fictional story to further drive home the point that this continuing cycle of violence and decay in society should be paid attention to. So, the entire Violet story he designed to fit the personalities of those two and how they are made. Very impressive writing [and storytelling] and motivation resulted in Violet's Tale. Easily imagined they were brought up in separate foster homes. Jenny took on the quiet nature [still nature] of her mom [freezing in her tracks, unable to move when commanded to give up her goods] while Screech took on the character of his father. 14 years after two zero zero five they met each other probably for the first time and a newspaper article on the 6th or 7th page is what became of it. [as Ren has imagined it for us] His story telling has purpose. Real purpose. That is what has him stand alone [it seems] in today's society. [unique as an artist]
Great reaction, glad to see more and more people getting into REN’s music, also just checked out your music and I really love Salt, Wolves and Serves me right
In an interview I seen with him he said he would love to explore different aspects of his art and would not be opposed to signing a deal with net for a series or a show that he had creative control over you. Imagine a movie or a series set to rens music and acting.
honestly , Not to diminish the work in any way .. but as Ren himself said what got him thru his 10 years of illness was his music ... i am certain that thought he may not have been performing or even (i dont know for sure ) writing music , I am sure that his every available moment he could he was thinking about these songs that he is giving us .. when one person devotes 10 years of their life to something .. it tends to be of outstanding quality
Yes, how Ren uses natural acoustics is fabulous. As he moves from space to space he times himself to use the acoustics and lyrical content to the benefit of the song and video both. He times his arrival to the spiral staircase to sing specific lyrics up it. Absolutely brilliant. The artist's fine touches are what separate the talented from the truly gifted. So many juicy carrots of content dangling from the ceilings of the Ren rabbit hole. Just pick something and we're there. Blessings.
Great reaction! ❤ One suggestion is to not have the video screen cropped/small because to the viewer half the video was cut off and could not see the whole picture .
This series of performances will surely go down as one of his best. I never considered watching reation videos until I watched Ren's material, so much of his music is new, challenging, emotive, intense and leaves me wondering what other people have experienced. The tales trillogy left me shocked and in awe, also with so many questions, like where did he get such an idea (apparently it was partially in a response to a news article reporting a mugging/murder of a young woman in London in 2019) The way he described Jenny who took on the traits of her birth mother (who was also quiet and froze in response to extreme stress), she was walking home after finishing work (wanted to escape a hard life), in high heels, early hours ..... we later find out she was 14 yrs old .... was she a sex worker? (Lost 14yrs old working girl - a parralell can be drawn to Violet's, her mothers traumatic and exploited life). James/Screech, violent, emotionally unstable abusive .... seemed to take on his birth fathers traits .... I wondered why Patric wasnt home, and then Screech's girlfriend was busy ..... did this suspicious coincidence have an effect on his mood, and ultimately influence his extreme behaviour ... watch Ren's short background drama in his playlist - Screech's tale instagram story (must watch). Violet - sexually abused by her father as a child growing up in a disfuntional home (she was a quiet girl who also froze when faced with intense stress), left when she was 16, fell into similar relationship pattern, which ended up making her pregnant and ultimately dieing a violent domestic abuse victim, but miraculously giving birth to twins Jenny and Screech .... only for her tragic curse to follow them. The kids father Stevie abusive little vilent prick, emotionaly unballanced .... ended up killing Violet and probably was sent to prison and the twins without existing family would have been placed in care. This is a challenging his audience to feel and I think forces people look point blank at the social tragidy, the some of the results when people get caught in social breakdown and how welfare system can fail ..... exposing the vicious circle and tragic influence of domestic violence Rens talent in story telling, poetry is amazing and he truely produced a master piece of pure confronting art. I believe Sting has been an influence with Ren .... it seems even more evident when you realise Stings latter focus on baroque music and traditional instruments Metalhead shreading was an interesting comment because even though there were baroque feel to his guitar playing I also was reminded on ACDC rifts I look forward to more of your reactions
My first time here ma’am and subbed for more Ren and love the shirt as well, I’m so old actually seen it in theaters ma’am! Love the ink and jealous of the glasses, seriously! So Ren is my second favorite artist today, only behind NF! So you have an idea is his storytelling side, if you’d like more singing allow me to suggest Chalk Outlines or earned it/ it’s a mans world/ fallen by Ren and Sam Tompkins ma’am. Thank you and see you next video!
when Ren starts tapping the guitar and vocalising at the beginning of Violet's Tale... it totally reminds me of Ennio Morricone's theme music for Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns, particularly the Clint Eastwood trilogy 😎🤘 Respect & Peace ☘
Normally I dont tend to writte much comments, but it's well deserved. You made the most intrinsic analysis of this trilogy and had some good thoughts on judging Ren's caracter, only based on the way he have both written and delivered this songs - well done miss. Keep doing your thing and Im pretty sure the channel will increase (in the following front) 😉
Great reaction! I just love to se the moment when it hits you who Violet is in this story. Welcome to the long and winding rabithole that this is. Keep upp the good work!
In an interview I seen with him he said he would love to explore different aspects of his art and would not be opposed to signing a deal with net for a series or a show that he had creative control over you. Imagine a movie or a series set to rens music and acting?
Intellectual honest and from the heart: a reaction that gives the viewer a fine and heart warming look and your ability to summarise the trilogy. Love and respect 🫶 Richard from London 🇬🇧
This was a very enjoyable reaction and no worries about the video formatting; I came to see your reaction, not the original video, and you did not disappoint.
This was one of the best reactions to the Tales that I've seen. So few people call out Ren's amazing lyrics. The line about Jenny turning to butter slays me every single time.
I can't take credit for noticing it, I read it in a comment of another reaction video... But ren's outfits in each of the videos seem to reflect the title character of each song. In Jenny he was dressed somewhat conservatively, in Screech his outfit had a bit more of a street vibe, and Violet he's wearing the same thing she was wearing in the last moments of her life.
I think pausing to regain composure is a very personal choice, but I already had tears rolling. You might as well drop the tears with us, being professional and composed isn't why we watch reactions. I love when I see someone get real, we're on the same trip together.
Thank you for this encouragement, honestly. I have a really hard time showing vulnerability, especially on such a public platform. I really felt like I was going to cry, and didn’t want to bother anyone with it to be honest.
SO much to take in with this brilliant Shakespearean tragedy. I get frustrated with some reactions when it's missed how he describes Jenny....why would a 14 year old be walking the same street a 1000 times, in high heel shoes? Almost no one seems to catch that. Also, for "Screech's Tale", it seems that almost no one catches that Screech's girlfriend and his friend Patrick, happen to be "busy", or not available, at the same time. Consider why. Maybe they were together? Patrick wasn't home...was he with Screech's girl at her place and that's why she was "busy"? It adds a whole other layer to the story. Also consider that Jenny and Screech were born side by side, and essentially died side by side, one street apart. Born on the same day (2005), died on the same day (2019). An entire family, mother and twins that never knew each other, wiped out by a cycle of violence. An abused mother, a 14 year old prostitute, and a 14 year old thug/murderer. Powerful stuff. In "Violet's Tale", the way he uses the acoustics of his environment to accentuate the song is absolute brilliance....and btw, Ren is self taught on the guitar. Just one of many instruments he plays including drums, bass, & piano.The man is truly special. A prodigy. From what I understand, he wrote the first 2 songs after reading an article about a very young man murdering a young woman in London, he didn't write "Violet's Tale" until a few years later and that one was of his own making. He said that there are 2 songs so far that he wrote, that he knew in his gut were special. "Hi Ren" (of course) and "Violet's Tale". (He was right on both counts imo.) He also said he feels like he has a 3rd one ("Money Game" 3) that fits that same feeling coming out with his new album. He has yet to release it or shoot the video. It's coming soon.
First time seeing you react, but seeing your love and respect to Rens art plus that badass Lost Boys shirt, you gained another sub!! Bout to go through and see what else you have reacted to up to this point. Keep up the good work! A few of his sings have made me cry no lie lol..this one and Suicide, For Joe both break my heart everytime i listen
Great reaction, don't worry about the negative comments, some people don't seem to understand what a reaction video is. His songs with Chinchilla are also great " Chalk Outlines - Live " and " How To Be Me ". If you want a more fun side of Ren " What You Want " is a fun video - just subscribed.
Where are you talking about? The acoustics of him walking around the HOSPITAL? It’s when he gets to that elevated stairwell and does that higher note up into the sky and it echoes and resonates. I think that is a beautiful moment and could not have been timed more perfectly it is one of the biggest highlights of this video, regarding his voice
I don't know who has been critisizing your reaction to this, but I think it's one of the best I've seen, and I've seen them all! I subbed immediately, and will now go and watch your other reactions to Ren and Chinchilla. Please continue reacting to Ren, and his collaborations with Chinchilla/ Sam Tompkins and his bands Trick the Fox/ The Big Push...he has a huge back catalogue of work and a brand new 18 track album dropping at the end of summer!
Thank you so much 😭❤ I appreciate this comment so much. Also - disclaimer before you watch any of my older reactions, I made those with my brother and it’s a different format, so it’s disappointing to some others because we don’t talk at all during the actual reaction! Just wanted to give you a head’s up, I’d hate to waste your time!
@lynzistringer I've watched your reactions now. I was disappointed slightly with Hi Ren, but can see from the Tales reaction, that you are listening to advice from your viewers, and that's cool. Fans don't object to pausing during reactions, if the pause is for a genuine reason, and you proved that you do this during The Tales. Just keep going, you are doing great!
If you take notice of when he starts his falsetto notes after his guitar riff you’ll see that he is looking around the room like he doesn’t know where he is. His eyes are wide and vacant and confused. This is him portraying what violet must’ve been feeling waking up in hospital at least that’s how I imagine it. Everything Ren does is extremely well. Thought out. And I do not for a second think that this was accidental. another interesting thing I noticed was as he gets up off the hospital bed. He needs to take a second to literally compose himself and shake off the emotion that he has feeling. It’s so visually noticeable he literally shakes his head and shakes his shoulders to destress himself. It’s incredibly human and relatable. He is fast becoming my favourite artist of all time and 51 years of age. I have been a fan of many many artists in many many genres, I mean I like all kinds of music and as someone who suffers from severe mental illness I genuinely believe that music heels, far more than any medicine can without the side effects as well but the impact that his music leaves on your soul is like having angelic ruins and Scribd upon your ribs. It does not go away after you stop listening to the song. It stays with you forever. It changes who you are and how you see the world the story of Jenny and screech and violet whilst probably fictional does happen every single day somewhere in the world and I think that is the entire point of this trilogy
Great reaction, my lady. Don't be sorry for anything, rewinding just shows you're analysing what's going on and being speechless, emotional, needing a moment... come on, we've all seen this for the first time one day, so we know. I actually said the same exact NO at the same exact moment and waited for the inevitable to happen, not wanting to believe it, like a rabbit in a headlights, just like you.
Regardless of you knowing some of the back story, great reaction. I went through your catalogue and was pleasantly surprised, impressive talent. Hope to see more reactions. I’ll be listening as well, wife says you have a gorgeous voice. Keep it up
Loved your reaction. Don't break your head about which kind of reactions to do, pause or not, repeat, breakdown... Just be yourself, you're a pleasure to watch (sorry if that sounds creepy, it wasn't supposed to be 🤣). Enjoy it the way that suits you and that's all.
You are right, nobody expected it… not even Ren. Jenny’s Tale was inspired by a story of a 14 y.o. who killed a prostitute. Ren wrote Screech’s Tale a year later and Violet’s Tale two years after that. He is a wordsmith with his uses of alliteration, metaphors , and brilliant similes to really flush out his characters in such a way that you DO become fully invested in them in an almost impossibly short matter of minutes. Likewise with his facial expressions- especially his eyes which tell you EXACTLY what he is conveying without actually saying it. And yet again with his voice- as the narrator his speech patterns and cadences change between and within each Tale. And props to Sam ( Samuel Parry Falvey) for his equally brilliant use of cinematography and camerawork. Violet’s Tale just wrecks me- especially the part in the stairwell; as Ren says “ he’d paint her black and blue and dark” , sings “ She ne- ee-ee- ver stood a chance” while looking up the winding staircase, you can almost feel that chance float up and out into the dark night sky.
Your reaction was wonderful. I subscribed in the hope of seeing more. I can’t wait to see your reaction to Money Game Parts 1 and 2. And of course, The Big Push doing Englishman in New York.
FYI, the first two tales are based on stories Ren had read in the paper, and he spun the stories off of. A 14yo boy killed a prostitute, and a police officer shaken after killing a young boy. Violet's tale came years later, as a way to tie the two together and make a statement on domestic abuse and the foster care system. I would suggest something much lighter, in The Big Push, "An English Man in New York". So good.
great reaction!! ren is taking over my life for the last 6 months. i think the way you pause and rewind 10-15 seconds is perfect. check out (i shot the sheriff) live version too!! that way you can check out his band (the big push) they kill it! subbed
His guitar playing in the tail of Violet is unmatched by very few musicians and totally unique to him that riff that he does where is plucking the strings down at the bottom of the neck of the guitar is absolutely fucking mine blowing and the fact that he’s not using a pic but instead is fingerpicking is incredibly more difficult and only an advanced musician can do this. I’m still learning the guitar and I have attempted to pic and it is so much more difficult than it looks. Even the simplest cords are difficult and he makes it look effortless, if you think about his style of music it is very bard like almost like the Bard friend of Gerald in the Witcher and ironically I recently seen Red in a interview referred to his style of music as BARDCORE. Which I think is a totally appropriate name for what he does. It’s modern day Shakespeare at its finest. I can imagine him playing this hundreds of years ago in front of an ancient audience and just blowing their minds like he is blowing everyone’s mind now
Violet was abused by her father and the mom knew. She get pregnant from his father and at her 16y old she quit the house for a bad guy who beat her to death saying she's a liar because he knew the baby was not from him. There is a live with a crowd of the Story of Jenny & Screech in full 360, we can move the camera : Ren - The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full 360 Live Performance) : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S_hs8EkWeZg.html
The way you just said "no" when you realized that Violet and Screech were siblings, along with the look of shock on your face, were well worth the wait...
