Amazing isn’t it. Ren rabbit hole coming up. He’s a genius. I’m a 51 year old man who still is brought to tears after listening to this song 100 times .

Well come to the amazing world of ren you are in for one Eck of a crazy ride ren is Welsh the Renegade's will be on the way and will point you in the right direction many thanks love and respect from the UK 😀😀👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍

Subbed for more Ren. I’m over a year in and still watch every Hi Ren reaction that comes across my feed. I haven’t gotten bored with seeing peoples responses to all the nuances in this performance and the force that is Ren. You’ll always find something different with Rens extensive discography. None of it is bad. But buckle up. Ren is lyrically gifted. Layers upon layers upon layers. Enjoy the ride.

G'day Mate, fellow Aussie here, welcome to the world of the most talented/tortured artist of our time, and all round good bloke. I don't have a favourite Ren song, he rarely misses, but I love his DJ Fisher (Aussie DJ) Losing It Rap/Remix. Be prepared to be amazed on your Ren journey 👍🍻

Welcome to the EXTRAORDINARY world of Ren! I found Ren over a year ago like many. I could literally write an essay but I'll keep it short. Ren is beyond incredible and masterful. My favourite person in the world who I don't know personally. It's hard to explain the profound effect Ren will have the deeper you dive into his endless talented back catalogue. Truly a living legend. Enjoy and brace yourself for your soul to be penetrated in the best possible way.

The list of what he doesn't do is shorter. Dude is amazing!!!!

Ren is a gift to Humanity from the Universe, subbed for more Ren. Enjoy the ride

This was more than music. It was performance art as well.

Ren is a truly incredible artist. This was filmed live, one-shot, on multiple cameras. The only cut is when they switch to the handheld camera. He is self-taught on the guitar and multiple instruments. Probably the most creative artist I have encountered and just a genuinely nice person. Subbed for more Ren reactions 💜💜

He is Welsh btw 😊

Depth is the key word. This song rocked a lot of people's worlds.. Ren spent many years ,severely ill and misdiagnosed with bipolar,depression snd ME. He was given drugs that made him worse developed several additional illnesses due to being untreated for the Lyme disease that took 7 years to be discovered. He has been in constant pain and autoimmunity for 13 years now. He will soon be 34. He has been in Canada getting intensive treatment for more than a year now. Music is his lifeline always and he has a huge backlog of songs of survival. He has now chosen to be the voice for those made invisible by chronic mental and physical illness. Sick Boi, Crutch (2015) live with Bibi was in the height of his illness. It's a beautiful gem, done with no budget.

Buckle up lil lady... you've just stepped into the Deepest Rabbit Hole on the interwebs!!! Lol Ren has more layers than an onion, more Bars than a Prison!!! Outta 10 random Ren tracks... maybe 2 will be similar! From Rock, to Rap, to Pop, to Reggae, to Jazz and Blues, to Bardcore, .... you'll Never know what to expect from the next Ren track! Enjoy the ride... it's a Seriously Fun one!!!!

Welcome to the world of Ren. A rollercoaster ride through emotions, wisdom and musical genres. Ren is a Welsh multi-instrumentalist and producer He sings, raps and writes his songs, lyrics and video scripts himself. He was under contract with Sony, but had to terminate it due to his health problems. Now he is independent. In October 2023, his album "Sick Boi" was number one in the British album charts.

Ren does nearly everything.

its difficult to comprehend in the beginning but Ren is quite simply a generational talent, writes all of his own lyrics and beats, directs 1 take videos, sings, raps, plays instruments, i mean just WOW (P.S also check out his band The Big Push)

for me what separates ren from every other musician genius are the comments that people leave on reactors comment sections. a very good percentage of them detail how ren has changed, helped, saved, enriched, their lives. For me i found ren by accident a year ago while looking for new reactions to my then favorite pentatonix ( I still love them) but while ptx many times make my eyes teary, ren many times makes me weep tears enough to wash the dust off my soul

Welcome to Ren,enjoy the ride,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Prepare yourself to be totally blown away !! Hes a Masterpiece !!!!!

The best song in a generation. F. all the haters.

Wonder what else he does?..... lol your in for a roller coaster ride, buckle up 😂

Congratulations on finding Ren and his legion of fans. You'll notice even after a year, the fans still love to watch reactions of new listeners and Renegades are very welcoming and inclusive. As for Ren, I don't know if you've dove into the history behind him, but I highly recommend it. It helps give you a sense of who he is, why his music is important, and the battles he has fought just to get this far. His catalog is VERY deep and nuanced, with practically any genre you can think of being touched on. Classic Rock, EDM Rave/Techno, straight Rap, jazz, heartbreaking duets, cheeky fun songs, and of course, his own Bardcore storytelling. Make sure to also look at The Big Push, his former band before he had to leave for extensive medical treatment. They have several cover songs, original songs, and live busking performances. He has also done duets with several performers, both in busking and standard music video style. You will laugh uncontrollably, cry heavily, and think deeply. He is a one of a kind talent.

Ren is from Wales. And welcome to the world on Ren.

Life after "Ren" will not be the same. Welcome to the rabbit hole... ❤🎉

Welcome to the ren rabbit hole. He’ll blow your mind, his talent is off the scale. You I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed……👍🏼🇬🇧

Ren is a massive spokesperson for mental health, and he's very raw in everything he does. I highly recommend his 1 million subscriber speech to learn what he stands for. He's epic, and a refreshing soul in today's society.

There is NOTHING he can not do! Ren is a style bender! I have LOVED music my entire life (35 years all genres; I have moved a lot and found great music in all genres). Ren does it ALL no 2 songs are alike!

I think I just fell in love with your reaction. Thank you mate I look forward to are future. Lol! Sorry just kidding.

Ren, on this track, is playing a Cordoba flamenco guitar hence the Spanish sound. He is a very accomplished self taught guitarist, he also plays bass, piano, and others, I suspect he's one of those people who could get a tune out of any instrument. He's Welsh btw not English. You will have a wonderful journey finding out what else he has done. I'm sure other commenters will point you in the right direction, enjoy!

Sometimes it's an internal battle with oneself to push through the day. It's universal. Ren has a way of encapsulating the universal and human experience with authenticity, vulnerability, and compassion. You have an extraordinary journey ahead of you, with Ren. We'll come along, if you don't mind. It's *almost* as good the two- or three-hundredth time! ;) As for what next, I always recommend something on the other side of the pendulum. In this case, something fun, lightweight, carefree: Love Music Loco or Losing It. Welcome!

Welcome to the RENegades 😁 I've got a playlist of Hi Ren reactions & we recently celebrated the 1000th video. Your reaction is currently #1100 🥳 but there may be more that came before.

Ren rabbit hole Sick boi Chalk outlines The tales of jenny and screech (13min version) Fred again mashup Thats a good place to start without even touching on his rap music, busking or band music

Hiya Swift 🐦 (a fellow avion i see) oh dear you have no idea what you have just opened up and you are going to love every minute, enjoy the ride and all the best from Eddie Birdie ✌ ❤ 🐦.

welcome to Ren"s world,get ready to be a renegade,this is only the tip of the iceberg,enjoy,renegades will show up in masses,loved it, try the tale of jenny and screech in order all in one shot,this is gonna top request by all his fans (renegades)

Welcome to the REN-gades as others have said it is a joy to see others discover Ren and start down this very deep, winding, and emotional rabbit hole that is his Music catalogue. You completely got it Ren and his 'shadow self' in a battle for control. He has written some very moving and thought provoking music without question. Ren is Welsh as others have said, he spent a number of years quite ill bedridden at times with Lyme Disease as a result of a tick bite as is referenced here and another of his songs Sick Boi. Ren was also deeply affected by losing a friend to self harm that he speaks about in a very raw and real way in his music in songs like Suic*de, How To Be Me as well depression from those two things happening in his life with Chalk Outlines. Both of those performed as duets with the brilliant Chinchilla. He is still in recovery to this day. Then there is The Tale of Jenny and Screech(and Violet) a trilogy of songs packaged together that I have seen many reactors shedding tears galore over that one. Might need a box of tissues and a good cuppa for that one. Ren does have a playful, fun if not down right cheeky side though that you will discover. Enjoy the fall down the rabbit hole.

Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. I loved your reaction. You said; "I wonder what else he does?", which made me laugh!. Ren does so many things that you are going to be FLOODED with suggests. I have subscribed as a Renegade who is looking forward to your journey.

piece of ART

All i can say welcome to Ren , jump down the Ren rabbit hole , you will not regret it , a Rollercoaster ride of emotions ,

Hi it's almost a year since I first saw Hi Ren.. before that i had lost interest in mainstream music,but upon finding Ren he and the people he has surrounded himself with my love of music is so invigorated. Now forever watching him his friends 🎉

New sub here from Arizona, I'm here for any and all Ren reactions. As a 53 year old music lover my whole life, Ren has reconfigured my mind for the better and REN-EWED my heart & soul by making me really hear music for the 1st time in my life! Great reaction! 😊 what an amazing journey awaits you!

Another one bites the dust! Stand by for a mad ride. Hold on tight. Ren'll look after you.

Fellow Aussie here 😊 I really enjoyed your authentic reaction! Prepare to be inundated with Renegades 🤣 Also prepare to have your mind blown. It doesn't matter what style of music you're into... I promise you, Ren will do it and he'll do it as well as the greats in every genre ☺️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💕

Ren is a multi talented Artist who has been through a lot and writes from a very deep place touching many of us this is a tiny part of his story enjoy your journey in the world of Ren... New subscriber from Scotland looking forward more Ren Reactions ✌️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

Enjoy your Renaissance!

Welcome to Ren ❤ It's quite the fantastic adventure. subbed to ride along with you.

I appreciate how we can see on your face your "reaction" to the video. Not all reactors do and I can never understand how they aren't physically moved by Ren.

I enjoyed watching you discover the wonder of Ren. New subscriber. You, yourself have a beautiful voice...looking forward to following your reaction journey

Enjoyed watching your reaction to Hi Ren. As stated above, welcome to the Reniverse. He is very talented and has a vast array of musical tools with his voice, instruments, lyrics, and genres. Sickboi is short, but very impressive. Chalk Outlines w/Chinchilla, highlights his singing talent and the depth of meaning in his lyrics. The Hunger and Animal Flow showcase his rap skills and lyrical talent even more. What You Want and Losing It really high this lighter, more playful side. And, I’m confident you’ll enjoy his busking videos, with his former band, The Big Push. Warm wishes and I hope you enjoy your journey down the Ren rabbit hole!

Hi 👋 from England 👋 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 . Gobsmacked? 😮I was. Hope you get the Renegades here 🙏 they are great 👍 . Great honest reaction ❤

Love your reaction to "Hi Ren". I look forward to following you down the Ren rabbit hole. Thank you!❤

Fantastic reaction. He has an awesome singing voice. Those that highlight this the most are: "Back on '74/Message in a bottle retake" ( his latest track), "Chalk Outlines" (live /w Chinchilla) and "How to be me (live)" [duet /w Chinchilla]

Oooh in really hoping you'll go down the Ren rabbit hole with us. New subscriber ❤

Hi welcome to the Ren universe Have subbed to share your journey

Welcome to the world of genius. Ren is fantastic 😅

If you give in to your feelings you are at the start of a massive rabbit hole of years of top quality music. He recently beat Rick Astley to the UK no.1 album. There probably isn't a style of music that Ren can't do and every time you see him switch he does it so well. He plays guitar really well, he plays piano & keyboards. He does serious dark raps and light hearted funny raps. He does ballads and as well as his originals does covers which always have his own twist. As if that was not enough he does his own mixing, producing & beats. And if even that is not enough he was also in a band called The Big Push. There were two other singer guitarists with him who are also highly talented and now releasing their own stuff. That band had original songs and did loads of mashup covers. Their favorite thing was to go busking in Brighton (street performances). All of this is on RU-vid - enjoy your journey. 😄

Ren suffered from misdiagnosed Lyme disease and mental illness and his recovery is as amazing as his music, "Sick Boi" is also one you must listen to..

"Sick Boi" or Chalk Outlines" next! Have fun! REN is the best artist I've discovered in 30 years! Since The Cranberries for me! ❤

M'Lady - first time visitor. Love your smile and your style. I'm an old Yank (a spritely 63, hehe) who only just discovered Ren late last year and have since been a dedicated RENegade. I'll sub, of course. Hehe two things: First, by choosing to react to this amazing young man, you've just unleashed your sub and view counts. Your channel is about to blow up with fans of his - among which you will undoubtedly soon be counted. We love Ren and regard him - as well as other RENegades - as family. Secondly - as you'll quickly realize - you've only seen about 1% of this dude's skills. Hehe just you wait - I can't wait to watch this journey unfold for you. Hugs from the US ❤

Ren is great! Thank you for the reaction, looking forward to more 😃❤️❤️❤️

Ren is awesome on so many levels. Sick Boi is another song that helps tell his life story

Ty for the great reaction I am an old metal head and I have not heard a song by Ren that I did not think was absolutely phenomenal, but Hi Ren is the one that gets me every time I listen to it, which is a lot since this started with me I have watched more reactions to this song than I could even think to count, I can never have that shock again from the first time I heard it but I can vicariously through reactions I hope you continue reacting to the genius of Ren.

Welcome to Ren's World!!! So very talented!

Great reaction! Ren is definitely a unique talent. Hopefully, you will listen to more.

anything from his live/busking playlists is a good place to see him with other artists, and The Big Push(an extremely talented band he was/is? in) -so much awesome music. The renegades will fill you in...he's got quite a story. TC:)

🤩👍Awesome Genuine Reaction to an Amazing Talent. Ren is a Musical Visionary, Much Respect! More Power as You bring in the Other Utube Big Guns like Ren. Cheers 🤩💖.

Ren has a way with words. Brilliant guitar work too.

I watched Hi Ren just after he released it. I was at a real low point and this really helped to pull me out of it. I have watched it and reactions to it hundreds of times since and lots of his other stuff too. Ren gives me hope.

You will never see anyone like Ren. Enjoy your journey.

You just hit the jackpot doing ren , the best thing in the music industry ..

Terrific reaction!! You wonder what else he does?? One word. EVERYTHING.

There is no seance me going on about Ren reading all comments already written, being the artist he is, His lyrical videos are more then insightful. Try his 1 million utube subscriber thank you speech. explains his mission if you will.. I enjoy every new reaction, and most everyone says the same thing " what did I just watch ? " He's new , but not ! he is unique and different and 100% loved !

Hi Swift - I, too, used to judge people based on their accent, clothing etc. Realise now that to express your feelings you first a) need to have them b) need a vocabulary, as you said, to identify them by and c) need recipients of your story. Ren has all of them now.

This song literally saved my life. I am eternally grateful to Ren . Great reaction!

Ren is who we been missing and didnt even know it. Hes the best pure all around musican out now and nobody is touching him. He can make you laugh, cry he prvokes every emotion. His pure talent is something to marvel at. Story telling ability i could go on and on. Hes just a genusis

Ren fan here, subbed to see more. You will not be disappointed!

Subed for much more Ren! Such a deep catalog and no two songs are alike.

now you have to do Chinchillas fingers live before any of her duets with Ren.

I hope you dig in and enjoy the wonderful multi layered spectrum of music by Ren! Enjoyed your reaction.

new subscriber, thank you for your reaction to Ren.

Ren can do any Genera of music

Ren puts the "Ren" in Renaissance man. I really believe that this kid is going to... Is changing this word. A bard possessed by a modern zeitgeist

Ren is a whole new kind of artist--and human. ❤

I've watched SO many Hi Ren reactions and will continue to do so but I loved watching your empathy as you discovered this man. This song has had me in tears so many times. Welcome to the Renegades!

Welcome to the wonderful (if not disturbing at times) World of Ren. I hope you enjoy delving into the genius he is, on so many levels, creatively, musically, subject matter and a total lyrical gymnast. He is also one of the most intelligent, well spoken and lovely guys imaginable, even though he has suffered horribly with traumatic physical and mental illness. Starting Recommendations for you to react to: Ren - Sick Boi (Official Music Video) Ren - Animal Flow (Official Music Video) And everything he's ever made. Strap yourself in for a wild and emotional ride ❤

Go back to Ren's channel and check out the video from a nr of years ago when he still was misdiagnosed and extremely ill. He didn't know if he would survive and spent 23 h/day in his room, and his body only accepted certain kinds of meat. Those minutes in that clip is all you need to see to understand what he's been through. It's heartbreaking. And then you will enjoy/appreciate the musical journey even more,

That is a Human singing! with conviction.

The tale of Jenny and screech full is the one you should do next it really shows off Rens storytelling skills, although all Rens songs are great and so different from each other You never know what style you’re gonna get.❤️🐷

Just wait till you hear "Chalk Outlines" & "How to be me" by Ren x Chinchilla, both of the LIVE versions.

He a Welsh lad

Welcome to the rabbit hole. Nice reaction

For some reason, I am always drawn to “… and you know how I know I will prosper? ‘Cause I stand here beside you today.”I feel like anyone else would say “… stand here before you…”, like a musician in front of an audience. But he’s not putting on airs, he’s just a flawed human talking to some other flawed humans… he’s beside us, on the same side, knowing what we know. Changing that one word changes the meaning so much.

Congratulations, you have found the trapdoor into an amazing parallel universe. Please jump in with both feet, get a big box of tissues, expect tears of sadness and joy. This is not just music it is an experience that will move you deeply. If you are of a particularly sensitive nature I would recommend alternating between his more serious/darker work and his lighter side (busking/street performances with his band 'The big push'). I really look forward to joining you on the journey! Cheers from the UK.

🕳🐇 Chur from NZ.

Great reaction thanks for this. Happy to see this video is still being discovered. As you might see from the comments, if you continue exploring Rens art, you will be in for one hell of a ride, but also included into and supported by the community of unity known as us RENegades. Long live the RENegades!

He’s recently done a cover/mashup of Back On 74 and Message In A Bottle which is incredible and great vibes of you want a happy bop.

Welcome to the Renhole!x

For REN, this was truly his reality. Ren had misdiagnosed Lyme disease for 7 years by conventional doctors who deemed him mentally ill, but when patients are experiencing neurological symptoms, they very often become misdiagnosed. Lyme disease can present itself as many neurological conditions including Acute Transverse Myelitis[3], Ptosis[4], Seizures, and Chronic Fatigue[1] and these symptoms can be often misdiagnosed or deemed psychosomatic. Second is dealing with the symptoms of Lyme neuroborreliosis, these neurological symptoms often leave patients feeling drained and debilitated as they begin losing their quality of life. Over time, patients find themselves unable to do the things they love as they struggle to get ahead of their progressing symptoms.

"So cower the man ive become, as I sing from the top of my lungs , that I won't retire I'll stand in your fire inspire the meak to be strong." Literally inspiring words !!!

Just wait for the ride to start!! Hang on tight, it quite a ride! Ren is multi talented! Wait till you see him playing the piano! Almost equal to his guitar skills! Not really he is an excellent guitarist! But his overall skills are amazing! I have been subbed over a year! Have seen hundreds of reactions! Great reaction!!! This video has over 26 million views! So he has toughed lots of people world wide!!!
