I see Ren writing screen plays, directing and acting for his future. He's also very charismatic. I am totally in awe. This was a very powerful video with a message we all should heed.
I think he could but he won't he will remain true to himself and his art, music is as close to god as he gets in his words and he will continue down that path i think
@@ZendoNinja94he said in several interviews his ultimate goal is to become a filmmaker, but music is what he knows. He said music videos like this are scratching his itch for now, but it won't satisfy him forever. He said he's pitching a pilot to Netflix within the next year or two to produce a Netflix series that's like a musical version of Black Mirror.
@@JonNo86 I think he'll go down the screenwriting/production road, but he'll still do impromptu street concerts and maybe pop out the odd track, maybe do production for new artists and music videos. (I actually dreamed this last night.)
interesting, for me.. he is saying what a minority is thinking & feeling (Or the majority, i am not sure..) A reflection, of our world. And his twist, is the way how he can present these feelings/thoughts/observations..
When Ren is interrupted playing the piano, I see that as him moving through life unawakened to the money game. He is interrupted, and it jolts him into awareness of his surroundings, leading to him looking in the mirror, and he removes the money bag. Very functional for the song so he can move through the room but also perfectly symbolic.
Thank you. That's so interesting to know. Grieg wrote incidental music for Peer Gynt and that's what struck me about the music of Money Game 3. It's not a song in the traditional sense. There's no overriding melody. It's more a series of connecting pieces that tie the story together. Loving it more and more 👏😁✨️
When a 66 yr. old Canadian who grew up listening to Jim Reeves loves Ren, then you know this man is special. He is so talented, so unique, absolutely love his art. Love and respect, kid, hog fam Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
Amusingly, Ren said on Twitch that he didn't really know how to fold the suit jacket properly because he's never really worn a suit. He's currently wealthier than he has ever been, but he's just given away thousands of pounds to people playing a game, to Joe's family, and to charity, gave all of his best friends and new reactor friends time to shine in the spotlight, and is uncomfortable with many of the 'trappings' of success at an individual level. Really interesting to see him trying to navigate this particular tool.
He actually used the hummed melody of the chorus twice, once humming it again in the beginning, and again played by the violin, but the underlying harmonies were completely changed. That’s genius musicality! Your reaction, as always, genius as well!
And in the countdown. Btw, it should have been kept, loved it. The first accords on the piano are from Grieg's piano concerto. Such a great composition from Ren.
I'm glad you mentioned the part about his dad's approval, I think most reactors missed it. To me its unclear whether Jimmy really cared about money at all. Other than his age 1 phrase (mine mine gimme) it seemed to me it was mostly about trying to get love and approval from his parent. He broke down immediately after he realized he can't get it anymore. He did continue to walk in the same direction for a while by intertia but it was very different from his focus before. This is what got me the most emotionally. It signifies that we, as humans, no matter how broken on the surface, underneath it all its still all about family, community and love. We just keep distorting it somehow. Maybe that's why Ren thinks the solution is in teaching - us learning, in school, what REALLY drives us, what we're about when you remove all the inventions we've made to distort it. Not really to mould our behavior with education - just to understand ourselves.
So very well said. I agree with you. I appreciate you noticing that and expanding on that concept. So true. Learning to understand ourselves. Healing and growth from the inside out, right? Thank you for contributing so eloquently to the conversation
Talking about his first words and not knowing if he really wanted money himself, I feel like first words are usually also influenced by parents therefore even that doesn't show his true desires
This is performance art at it’s finest. Ren is an artist the likes of which we’ve never seen before. More than a musician. More than a poet. His work too diverse to classify as any one genre or style. I have referred to him as a genius before and I stand by it. With every piece that he releases he proves it over and over again. Challenging us, not only musically, but emotionally, spiritually and intellectually. He shows us all how to be better human beings. Not only that but through all this he remains humble. Incredible! 👌🏻🐷💸
After a incredible week of games and prizes, Ren drops THE album and this absolute masterpeice. There is absolutely no-one like Ren and - believe me - I don't envy you having to break it down. Storytelling on a level that is cinematic. Well done Rosalie on this and all your other reactions. Long may you prosper. Can't wait for your reaction for Seven Sins.
Ren wrote /composed all of the music in this too, including the orchestral part. Another masterclass in musical artistry. Love watching you absorb/react to Ren's music, (Love the shirt too btw) and your reaction to "Hi Ren" is still my favorite of the dozens I've watched.
I don’t want to take away anything from his artistry and this MASTERPIECE, but the cords at the beginning are from Grieg‘s Piano Concerto in a- minor op 16…
Yes! And a version of melody from Violet's tale. I loved it. Another social commentary, not domestic abuse this time but greed and our unconscious drive for approval.
@@sandradee6029Yes, I also thought it nodded to the Jenny/Screech/Violet trilogy. I definitely thought of Violet's Tale when I heard that melody. And him saying it's such a shame at the end. Great video!
Ren did it again - this is his new MASTERPIECE...rain rain rain rain - his garden will grow hystericly historicly🌱 Perfect artpiece, choreografie, symbolism, timing - the technical skills of the team and Ren's high level theatrical performance, not mentioned his BEAUTIFUL music, singing voice and lyrics - next level...and a lot of to think about....👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🩵THANK YOU, Ren
I live my life contrary to that of my siblings. There is no need for them to understand. I do not explain. They accumulate debt and believe it equals wealth. I have 1 utility bill. No mortgage. No credit cards. I live on a tiny fixed income. I have no savings. Yet I have raised 3 children and sent them off into the world. They are who They have chosen to be. I feed and shelter teens when they land on my doorstep. I watch and I listen and offer advice without expectation any will learn from it. I keep in mind that there is always Enough money for today.
You focus on life and the living, not objects or money. No keeping score, just doing what is right in the moment. Living well is loving well. I think living simply brings that back into focus. I applaud you!
"This ain’t entertainment, this is real life The way we live is lunacy, community it declines Hyperpolarised - always fighting then we divide Truth is less important than the money that we designed?"
Ren can take an abandoned room and bring it to life. Songs like this need to be heard. This amazing video should win awards for its creativity and its truths.
How many of us will be impacted anaugh by this masterpiece to make change on our daily live? We all apllaude Ren but how much are we cuting off the money game? I do, and I will, buying from local production, quiting all the amazon and walmart of this world, not changing my phone befor it's realy need to be change, buying drift close and furniture as much as I can. Funny how all those little thing are good for the environement as well. More money in my pocket.. to be able to help other who are in need. At the end of my game I'll have nothing left but God know's I'll be happier. Peace to everyone 💐
In the last segment...The front left violinist didn't play because the rain accidentally landed on her and made her bow wet. Smart. The rain scene had to be done only once, they only had the room for one day and didn't have a second suit for Ren so couldn't do a second take as everything would be too wet. They had to buy the violinist a new bow afterwards.
REN’s message is that we need to shift our mindset. We need to break the cycle of being educated, getting good grades, getting a good job, raising our kids to do the same and repeating the cycle. Our obsession with wealth and the ‘power’ it brings is a fallacy. No matter how much we own, it’s never enough. We need to start to value friendship, community and love as true wealth. The only time we should be looking down on anyone is to help them up. We have enough to take care of each other. We need to value our mental health over our material wealth. Bring on the renvolution!
Hi Rosalie thank you for the great reaction! I've seen a lot of connections between the shadow work that I experienced and the way Ren speaks of The Human Condition. If you get a chance watch him and his band during quarantine it is a glimpse of him just hanging with his mates😊🌿💔
... Among many other thoughts, I'll keep especially in mind:"VIEWS ARE THE NEW CURRENCY"... Wow, so strong & powerful, both Ren's masterpiece and your reaction/analysis... So much here to observe, understand & then try to apply to our own lives... Thank you Rosalie.. Lots of love from Crete... 🤗💞💪
He may not have used the chorus from part 1 & 2, but it was there symbolically with the mirror in the beginning and the rain at the end - “Oh, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, a storm, it comes our way; And those who rise through distorted lies, poison in the veins. But we like to point the blame. Blame, blame, blame, it's easier to blame. But point the MIRROR at ourselves, we're all part of this old money game.”
Yes! And how the protagonist is named Jimmy. And Screech was James…. James followed an unfortunate path, and so did Jimmy, just on different sides of the tracks! Ren is so smart how he ties in so many of his philosophies.
I am so glad your doing this today I watched the premiere of it and this whole thing is just genius level he is so good with his concepts and he and Sam are like of the same mind when it comes to creating this masterpiece then there is the messages in it I am so blown away by this whole project and your breakdown is just the cherry on top of this day thanks for all your hard work. As always your ride or die forever Eyyyyy Ooooo
Great reaction Rosalie you broke it down perfectly scene by scene, fantastic.....Ren is so different to other muscians maybe that is due to him being himself and his life experience but also due to being an independant muscian and being able to express himself the way he wants to and not how a corporate media company would mold him to make quick bucks before dumping him and moving onto the next one?......
Dare to be yourself to be selfless and to help without asking for rewards but for the happyness you feel making someone else happy. Dare to be free and to change the way you bring yourself and your children up in a world full of chaos. Masterpiece by ren his music will be study material for generations to come.
I definitely got goosebumps when the strings first come in. Such a fantastic piece of work. He keeps raising the bar, and I can’t wait to see where he goes from here.
The Money Game live stream was also incredibly powerful and a great prelude to this song, and I wish the intro existed. I've seen it in a few of the reaction videos, and it was genius.
Such a beautiful analysation by you, Im blown away not only by Ren who's video and words I've seen a hundred times before but by your breakdown, not everyone gets it truly!! Thanks for your reaction x
He pushes boundaries - including his own, he obviously has huge personal drive and ability to push his own boundaries, his multi-instrument abilities is testament to that.
Your reactions to ren are incredible keep doing you , what ren is doing right now is something that ain’t been seen before and the way u break it down is amazing
Ren is unquestionably a genius. Everything he releases underscores that. I'm so happy to have found him, and through Ren these amazing reaction channels. Wonderful breakdown as always ❤
Kudos to Ren. He is saying that all of us are trapped in the Money Game without realizing that is a game that was made up by us, human beings. We can't escape because we don't realize that we made it up. And because we invented it, we are free to reinvent the world. To reject the Money Game since its ends are always sinister and horrific... and to invent a better world of cooperation and kindness and beauty. Dealer's choice.
ren's message is so counter-intuitive to how we're raised. "this world is cruel" is like an excuse to be cruel to others. "take all that you can" with a fake smile. the phrase 'fake it til you make it' always felt insane to me because it's like we're supposed to engage in cruelty just to fit in sometimes. love you're reaction rosalie.
I love that he made Jimmy an American, pointed out how important 45 was to him in the end, but didn't explicitly point out another instance of 45 that obviously fits into this story's narrative. Many an American businessman/politician fits the story, but when our 45 has always had a philosophy of "me, mine, gimme", to me it becomes an obvious allusion.
LMAO of course blame it all on 45 when 45 hasnt done anything that was mentioned in this story. However most other politicians have including 46 who has been in politics for 40 years. My God man open your damn eyes. This world is going to shit right now and he's not even in office.
@@BluRadoZ71Sure, 45 never believed that money was more important than morals... All politicians are corrupt, and I include those in office right now. Maybe drop the tribalism and open your eyes to how hard you're getting fucked.
The word gets banded about a lot these days and gets attributed to easily to undeserving people. But when it comes to Ren he truly is a once in a lifetime artist. It doesn't matter what genre he performs he always smashes it out of the park. His musicality and lyrical content is genius level imo. I'm 52 next month and over the years have gone down many a different musical rabbit hole but with Ren I haven't seen an artist like him come along in a long, long time. In fact I don't think I ever have. For the people who know their stuff, they know that he's one in a million. Nothing but respect for the guy
Ren is quickly becoming the GOAT. Not just for hip hop but in music, generally. This song, to me, was like the Dr Suess of musical truth. His next several will be more reggae (Chalk outlines) type music. Can't wait for that. Your reaction was perfectly done. I have watched several since Friday. Seems like almost everyone was speechless. With all that is going on in this world, as always, Ren was on point. Standing O for both him and you ❣️❣️
Nature or nurture, we are all born in to it and grow and develop in the money game. How we choose, or not as the case maybe, to play it maybe different but it’s hard to avoid it either way. We should all hold up that mirror from time to time and take a good look🫡!🇬🇧!
Hope: “I’m the voice you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope…”. This return line from “Hi, Ren” is important. In the beginning of the video, Ren (Jimmy) loosens the noose from the “money bag” around his head. Similar bags were used when people were hanged so that the audience/executioners did not have to see the physical, human reaction to their death. Facing the truth of death, struggle, and, ultimately, being guilty of whichever crime someone is guilty of, is important. Ren’s tale of Jimmy is one of revelation and of hope. It is one of self-realization and regret. But also, it is one of warning to the future; a chance at something better if people would just “heed this word to the wise”. Brilliant!
As an aside - nice touch with the Welsh flag on the video thumbnail. Diolch yn fawr! In an interview with BBC Wales a couple of days ago Ren talked about the Welsh tradition of music and storytelling he comes from. He truly is a bard in the fullest sense of the word.
Such a great reaction to the video. Raising the questions that how we play the money game. How we all need to teach future generations as to how to live. ‘Mould will grow on a surface and consume til it dies’ That’s how I see humans destroying our planet. We need a renvolution!
So who was to blame for Jimmy's devolution? "Can't buy me love..oh, " Theatrical, musical, lyrical genius..with a message. TY for your comprehensive analysis Rosalie... love your shirt!
None of us really have a choice but to partake in the money game. We cannot just find some little bit of land, build a shelter and grow our veg, rear some animals... Someone owns the land or there is a tax to be paid. At least in the UK that is true! Every ounce of land is owned! I would have loved to live a natural life. I am under no illusion as to how tough it would be but we do NOT get that option because of the money game...
It's not just Ren's creativity - it is his vision and courage in having the guts to deliver such powerful and contentious messages. The saddest thing is that his analysis is correct! We are parasites of our own planet, and of each other. Great reaction Rosalie, as ever.
Ok... Here's one. The mirror scene. Let's go back to Hi Ren "The voice that you hear when you loosen the noise on the rope" ? If that's it ... Mind blown. . Talk about "Full Circle"
Unfortunately, the game has been around for a long time... and will last for eons to come. Fortunately, there are those who put their finger on the wound. It is necessary not to desensitize and not lose the ability to feel the pain that this sh... game causes and, for that, thank you very much Ren. Good video! And good reaction from you... thanks! P.S. I'd like to come back here in about 2-3 eons to see if we're still wallowing in this shitty little game!...
Imagine having this artistic and visual masterpiece, and instead of taking it all in and focus on all these beautiful details, you stare down in your notebook and miss so much of the visual story.
The first vocal part comes from Violet's Tale to signal that this is a generational issue too, The drive to please his father produces a life with no meaning to himself, and he dies at age of the "midlife crisis" when so many people realize that "this isn't what I really wanted" "You can never get enough of what you don't really need"".
I really appreciate the offer, but I don't play any instruments and at 71 I'm not really interested in starting, Please give it to someone who can put it to good use, OK?
I would really recommend starting with Money game Pt 1, Pt2, before Pt3 Ren has made a masterpiece in the three, and show the progressively worsening around the world, and calling out not just individuals, but world leaders and news media. Have really enjoyed the journey that both You @Rosalie and Ren have taken me on since finding Hi Ren, and investigating Ren, you and others. It is such a amazing story and feeling.
