I can't tell you how happy it makes em to see others see and respect greatness! There is NOTHING he cannot do... This is one of if not the deepest wells of music you will ever find!
That was a great reaction. Ren just finished a year and a half if treatment. He still has autoimmunity issues but he is well enough to go home to UK for 3 months. He will be performing at Secret Garden Party in July. He will eventually move to somewhere in the US. He is almost ready to release another album. Don't know if touring is in his plans yet. Health may inhibit.
❤ It's always so fun to see people appreciate our Ren! And the sweet guy in the purple...the smile he gave when the cat walked in 😂❤...same guy " I'm showing everyone I know!!!" Gotta show these guys everything Ren can do!!!!
I am not an artist , but a 47 yr old house wife/ mother of 4. I too can relate to this art. The eternal dialogue is legit ! We're all trying to do the best we can, yet the voice tells us we're nothing ,and we're not doing well enough. Or are best efforts are shit. That I'm a failure. This song gave me major goosebumps at times and brought me to tears! He also inspires us to push through and gives hope. Astrounding. I've watched it a dozen times so far. Ren IS A genius! 🤩
i could see your expression change throughout the performance, I can't call it a song it seems so much more, great to see it connect with you and the guys.
@jloud619 it was a pleasure to watch your reaction to this. I think a lot of people have this experience when hearing Ren and this for the first time. A lot of other artists who have watched him have felt inspired by him and feel the desire to push their own boundaries in their music. Ren can literally do any genre musicwise. You should check out some more of his catalog and even peep some of his vids on youtube with his band that does busking (street performances) on the streets in Brighton UK and its crazy to see just how big of a crowd they draw. Or even some of his singheavy videos of him and Sam Thompson or him and Chinchilla.
Oh yeah they are DEFINETLY coming back! Thank you so much for watching and letting us know you liked it! 😁 We couldn't do it without your support! Any songs you think we should specifically show them! 👀
@@StreetChamps "Power" is a good one for both subject matter and rap skills and "I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip Hop" shows his musical side really well.
This was one of the most enjoyable reactions to Ren I've seen in quite a while. THANK you! Loved your guests and their insights. Please, do bring them back for more Ren!
Greetings from a Renegade in New Mexico! 🤠 I was born in Germany and grew up in the US, spreading the "Ren word" to all my friends and family. And yes, the StreetChemps are 🔥🌋and in the neighboring state as well.
Great reaction. I loved watching the guy in purple. Sorry, horrible with names but his facial expressions were genuine and said everything we all felt the first time we saw this. Bring them back please if possible. ❤
Loved this. Especially that they will spread the song out to others. Let’s support independent artists so they don’t have to sign to be heard and to support themselves.
Ren shines a light on topics that are uncomfortable and not spoken about often. This opens conversations that help healing. "We are only as sick as our secrets" a phrase I heard back in the 1980's.
U r very good bru. Be carrefull cause ren is like a drug. Try money game 1,2,3. And troubles . I love your réaction. See you soon on ren again bru.Peace on u from France.
I’m not an artist 🥲 but this said things I could never express. I felt, probably like loads, that it spoke to me & was me. It gave me hope after the chaos your mind does to you. Amazing really X
@@StreetChamps Wow i don’t think you can go wrong with Ren lol. If y’all want another hard hitter, the full version of The Tale of Jenny & Screech would be good, but so would Sick Boi, Humble, Troubles, or Money Games (i recommend watching all three of those, doing the lyric video for the second one). For fun, What You Want, Power, Losing It, or the red suspenders version of I Shot the Sheriff/Zion/Hip Hop with his old band The Big Push. For grief, For Joe or How to Be Me, Mackey (instrumental). Sick bars: Hunger, Illest of Our Time, Loco, Wicked Ways…oh. I’ll stop now. LOL No! Wait! Soul: Back on 74/Message in a Bottle. Character: Thank you to 1M Subscribers and his King Dotta diss (Dotta is now a Renegade and does reactions!). :D Have fun!!! I’ll keep my eyes open for y’all!
My favorite past time has become watching people experience Ren for the first time. You guys are awesome. You're also about to go down a rabbit hole that will change your life. No exaggeration. Enjoy! 😊
for any newcomer to REN this is where you should start, you will discover how absurdly talented he is, he writes, produces, 1 take videos, sings, raps, plays instruments, just extraordinary.
Listening to three young guys like you, discussing Hi Ren like this... Brings me hope. Welcome to the Ren Rabbit Hole. It's deep. It's dark. It's a hell of a ride. And it's so worth it.
Please show the tales of Jenny and Screetch full and Money Game 3 to these guys . I have truly enjoyed your conversation and breakdown of this song . I believe they would get into them.
The one thing that always gets me listening to this song, is that the final chord never resolves... just like lifes struggles and the battle with mental illness, it never ends.
You guys are awesome! Super reaction and discussion. Ren is so special. Like we are all so lucky to be alive to be a part of the Ren musical road. Not one bad song. Absolute genius. Ear candy. Like I wonder what the heck I listened to before Ren. 😂
I echo any other comments on Ren not touring, but he does have a festival coming up. He has mentioned he may never be able to tour, his health dictates what he can do. Great reaction. Loved the thoughtful comments and the distinct appreciation as the song developed. You lads may wish to check out an Aussie artist known as Complete. Look at his video/song Jordan which he released about 5-6 years ago. I often wondered if Ren saw it before creating Hi Ren? The concept is similar, but different. 2 introspective artists!! I know Ren sat on Hi Ren in a different form for a couple of years.
The negative voice is the ultimate downplay in your mind. No matter what, you're never good enough. "Hey, my music is working, I'm taking off with a small following, this is good." "Yeah, but you're not SUCCESSFUL. Can you live off your music? How many thousands, MILLIONS, of fans do you have?" "But I don't need that. This is a passion and I get the satisfaction from those I reach." "Right, keep that pretentious BS going. Art over money, all about the expression, acting like you don't want fame. So fake, people can see right through it." "I don't need this or you." "You can't live without me! I'm the reason you haven't thrown away your life on a silly dream, so be grateful for the grounding I provide."
Someone heard him busking for m9ney to get $ for self treatment variations because of undiagnosed tick bite symptoms. That got him signed with Sony. But that didn't work out because of untreated tick bite symptoms. As far as I know he's still on his own. But IDK any place he could sign and do what he does best. Besides, all $ to Ren, Samuel, his busking friends, and his production people.
The production bro's! Did you miss lights flickering, harsh playing and harsh voice on his dark side vs. Calm lights, calm voice and calm playing? How about the two shadows? Ren is a musical genius.
Looking at 106 seconds in and that screenshot before Ren is pulled out and the predictions.... This might just be the difference between being brought up in Europe vers the US or something similar but that is a "reckoning" setup in theatre. Someone is going to get dragged around the wall on the right and "disappear". I know it doesn't happen but such is the setting :)
great reaction! and great interaction, as well. the three of you work well together. so i've subbed, and i look forward to watching y'all go into deep dives into the music of the very interesting ren. if you're looking for rap by ren, i highly recommend "the hunger" and "losing it." "back on 74" is a tasty slow burn riffing on the music of the '70s. "uninvited" is one of his lyrics videos and some very sly lyrics they are, too. his busking stuff is all good, but i have a soft spot for bob marley, sooo ... anyway, hope i see you (and hear you) in the coming months.
Purple shirt on the left had the best and most genuine reactions (facets expressions) of the three of them. It’s obvious to me he either 1: enjoy the most or 2: was the only one here who actually watched this for the first time. In my unsolicited opinion. Regardless, Best wishes to all involved!
This song is written in a way to fit multiple people and their mental health issues…even problems with addiction! So don’t try to correct how people interpret this song! 🙄
Quick note Chris Webby and Ren have done a collab but it hasn't been released yet. Do you think you could seperate the Webby videos from your lives. I don't have hours to give to reactions. Graveyard shift is a hard life plus trying to keep up with family. I would seriously appreciate it.
Your reaction was great to watch. Thank you for this! It would be great if you did other reaction of his work, but if not, I'm happy to have discovered you.
Hahaha 😂 I was like, dude did the white guy on the left just use the n word but nah he's obviously light skinned hahahaha the lighting is super bright, but his hair had me getting. Either way I obv dgaf about language it was just an immediate head turn. Hahaha but yeah new sub I'm up on it. I can't wait till the next ren reaction from you dudes ✌️♥️
I enjoy so much seeing these first time reactions to Hi Ron, or any of Ren's work. I can never re-live my first time hearing Hi Ren, but living it vicariously through others is almost as good :)
You have no idea what schizophrenia is. You probably are referring Dissociative Personality Disorder, a condition where you have two or more separate personalities that control your behavior at different times. But this is not what is being referred to in the video either.
Keep going guys... you will be very suprised at all the things he does so well. Sings, raps, plays guitar and piano and is a master storyteller. This was all shot live in one take. Most of his videos are that way. Next do the tales of Jenny screetch and violet. Make sure it's all three together
new subscriber here. Ren is truly Bardcore. Try to find a song of his that does not speak to us of the human condition. Much thanks from an old musician from Seattle.
This song, and I mean all of it requires talent and courage and I know the words at the end are courageous and the whole internal conflict made external are also great, talented and courageous, but it's the wonderful "hooting" singing at the start but most especially at the end that make this a a piece of genious.
Another one from Ren you should check out its called Eden for the lack of better words it's powerful AF and made me really rethink how i see the world.
Fine reaction. Glad you liked it. I suggest “The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)” as the next Ren for you all to watch. There are so many others, but I’ll leave it at that. Enjoy.
You know, that's not actually schizophrenia....we have two sides; this is an inner battle we all fight.....to some extent. I can deeply relate this to my own depression. Because of Ren, I now attend therapy. Doing MUCH better.
Mood is different from subconscious thought. When we are down we really go there mentally as well. Being toxic can be a disease, and you'd be surprised what the right positive mental reinforcement to yourself will do for your life.
