Not only is Ren a writer, musician, singer, rapper, producer, he's also a great actor.

Yes, wow. Welcome to the RENaissance. I can see this Bard called Ren as a minstrel performing for kings and queens of lore. Thanks ❤😊

You are a brave one. It took me MONTHS ( and literally ~100 views+ reactions) before I could process anything more. Even then I watched The Big Push busking sessions and Money Game 1&2 - and was just like WTF with the range of talent . I got cocky one night and watched Chalk Outlines and How To Be Me . I was wrecked. The came time for The Tales… SO much to unpack, almost too much. But after having watched so much of Ren and having seen - how much he’s been through, what a generous artist, friend, and band mate he is - I was really thrown when he was Screetch. Not at all for the profanity but for the anger and aggression that came out of him/ REN- as it was really counter to his true self. Even in some of his shorts or IG stories his anger at the situation and the time he missed “ living “ -that his health robbed him of, he’s fighting back tears. It’s further proof that not only does he possess a genius intellect and artistry, he is also very high on the EQ scale. We see this very much in Violet’s Tale. His facial expressions tell you what he’s telling you… without actually telling you.

He is the perfect example of a modern day bard 💜💜

He is just so unbelievably talented! Can’t wait for you to see every facet of Ren. It’s insane. 🖤

Ren said that some of Violet’s character came from a loved one who had faced domestic violence, but all 3 songs are fictional & were written & filmed a couple years apart. He started with Screech, based loosely on a newspaper article, then Jenny, then brilliantly pulled them together with Violet. 💜

So glad you listened to this. Ren has so much more for you to listen to. I hope your father is getting better.

Welcome to the Ren roller coaster! Ren’s genius is undeniable, and an interesting note about his guitar playing, is that he learned to play from watching KZfaq videos. He’s crazy impressive. There are some great interviews that he’s done with a few different reactors. Highly recommended. He’s an independent artist, is incredibly appreciative of the reaction community and his fans. We are all in for the ride! 🙂

Yes he lives in Brighton, a seaside town, but how absolutely perfect was the sound of the seagulls ? They came in at exactly the right moment and added the precisely perfect haunting sound effect that made this song even more sinister than it surely already was ! Serendipity at its gut-wrenching best !

Truly terrible tales told terrifically. Great reaction....you picked up on a lot of things many people missed. PS glad things are looking up for your father.

What amazes me is what happened in my brain when I first saw this ending, and what I see in you reactors. The concurrent thoughts and feelings responding ALL...AT...ONCE... to the tragedy of the story itself, the twist at the end (and our brain trying to fill the gaps of the story as quickly as possible), the awe and joy at the creator and his skill and imagination - no wonder our brains feel like exploding - literally can feel emergency multi-tasking but just turning into a neurological berserker moment lol

I Don’t think he is ever unintentional. Playful, yes. Unintentional, nope.

Ren is a masterful storyteller and performer. Really enjoyed your reaction to this masterpiece! Looking forward to the next one ❤

Highly recommend “Chalk Outlines” which is a collaboration with another fantastic, independent artist named Chinchilla. The song, and them together is amazing.

I am loving your rabbit hole and your sharing of yourself. Pulling for your dad. ❤

Liked and subbed. "Rabbit hole of Ren" You got Reh-holed. I enjoy watching it. ❤

Im enjoying your Ren reactions ...I can tell you are getting as hooked as the rest of us. Keep on going, this is fun 😀 Peace

I did enjoy the reaction, and here's to you gaining many subscribers so can afford a better camera to record with. I'm doing my part by subscribing. 👍

For future Ren videos copyright is not an issue, as he supports reactors.

Love your reactions!!! Feels like we are just hanging out with you.

Dude…totally gonna have to steal your “corn”fused. Lol

You should checkout his early stuff with his band Trick the Fox that goes back about 13 years. Also there are videos of hi busking in Bath UK. He also does collaborations with others which are amazing

I think these tales are inspired by real events in the news but embellished by Ren, it draws attention to some serious topics in a very artistic manner, especially that type of intergenerational perpetual cycle of abuse and violence.

Watching all your Ren reactions.. you’ve earned a new sub. ❤

Great reaction!!

{* YEAH... Probably should come with a 'Trigger' caution for: survivors of street crime, domestic violence and first responders! } This Masterpiece Trilogy is really aimed at the 'rest of us'- those who haven't lived through it. Ren is not only a mega-talented Creative Artist and Storyteller, he's also a powerful Social Commentator. He doesn't introduce these challenging themes for shock value, he's making a statement. His skill brings us right into the frame as if we are not the audience any more, but stand as 'witness'. He wants us to Care about these characters. He says; DON'T look away from this. Don't simply murmur cheap platitudes like " Oh what a shame..." and then click away to the next news item. We DO know, very well, the pathways that lead innocents like Jenny, Screech and Violet toward becoming victims and / or perpetrators. Why aren't we doing more to stop these crimes, these tragedies?!

Great reaction. I believe this is a fictional tale, but all too real. It happens every day somewhere in the world. Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole.

Here's the origin story of this trilogy 🤩😁🤯 This wasn't originally a trilogy story. Ren read a small article about a 14 yr old boy killing a young prostitute with a knife in an attempted robbery. Knife crime had been skyrocketing in London at this time. Later that same evening the boy had been shot and killed by the police responding to a possible suspect for a girl found murdered in Sussex Gardens in Paddington - one of the capital's most notorious red light districts. It disturbed him, so he set out to write a commentary not just on senseless violence, but on how desensitized we've become to it. The words he ends both Jenny and Screech's Tales with is "It's such a Shame" we say these words all to often and just move on without a second thought. The the lead inspector was quoted saying " So Young, It's such a shame". Violets Tale was written over 2 years later adding another layer of commentary by Ren. He wanted us to consider not only generational violence but to make us look at all angles of society that we turn a blind eye to. His lyrics have even more meaning when you read in between the lines. For example he doesn't say what Jenny was doing or why she wanted to escape from this place & life, or why Screech thought she was older saying at Patrick's door "I left this lady lying on the floor". Could that be because the way she's dressed & her heavy makeup? Also why was a 14yr old girl out so late in the dead of night walking alone in a sketchy area, wearing high heeled shoes, down a street that "she's walked a thousand times before"? Everything points to Jenny being an underage prostitute, showing us what Ren writes has reason & is made to make us think. There's no fat on the bone, every word is weighed & has meaning. Also, how can both these siblings be so cursed? Both are born out of violence on that cruel night of Violets beating and then both killed with brutal violence in the same night 14yrs later. Interesting how Jenny has the same traits as her mother Violet, quiet, voiceless, and timid. Whereas Screech mirrors his father Stevie in every way, Loud, obnoxious, and easily prone & provoked into violence. They didn't know one another and had never met their biological parents. What made these kids so much like their parents? Was it simply Nature, inherited traits due to their genetic make-up OR Nurture, being brought up in the broken governmental system filled with, mistreated & in many cases, abused children, shuffled from one foster home to another ? He organically takes us on this journey, leaving us to think shouldn't we be doing better in this so called "advanced, wealthy, 1st world society. I'm loving your reactions. Cheers 🥂

Oops.. I didn't mean to unlike - I just clicked the like button too many times lol. Loving your journey.

Great reaction....have liked and subbed. Please do Chalk Outlines Live, to see yet another side of Ren

I really enjoy watching your reactions...If you have the time please check out *Murderer* Official Video and then the acoustic version by Ren. Also, please watch *Sweet Little Lady* Official version and then Live version by The Big Push. My suggestion is to watch the Official versions first followed by the live versions I promise you wont be disappointed ❤

❤

Very Shakespearean : Everybody dies

The story is loosely based on a true story, with a bit of creative license (maybe more than a bit). 😉

Glad you enjoyed it, but yea some of his stuff can sneak up on your feelings.

I love watching new reactions to Ren, especially when they do the tale of Jenny and screech, I don't think I have come across anyone who hasn't asked who the Hell is Violet?? Or other words! 😂 makes me 🤣😂🤣😂 every time.. really enjoyed your reaction please could you add heretic to your Ren list please ❤

3:30 looked like closed captioning for the "mouth trumpet" that came immediately after. You should have stood up again as evidence of your telepathic abilites. You would have a cult by now. Way to piss it away. (jk - like the reaction so far...) Edit: You get it. You get it. You get it. You get it. You get it. You get it. I am SO in. You are awesome. This is awesome. Absolutely subbed and liked.

👌

Ren read a newspaper article about a 14 yr old killing a prostitute and suppossedly the quote "What a shame!". That's how the idea for the tales was started but all the other intricate background connections and details are Rens creations. I don't if anyone mentioned already the thing with Patrick and Screechs girlfriend or the thing the first and the last thing Jenny has in her life is a knife, or how they are side by side at birth and one street apart in death. I know the generational cycle is mentioned already, how Jenny is quiet like her mother and Screech angry and triggered like his father. And acctually already Violets parents before that, her quiet and he the bastard

It's not a true story but in a way it is. Generational trauma is real and devastating. Here we are told if a girl who was abused as a child and ended up in an abusive relationship because she had no sense of self, no boundaries, no solid foundations. She has 2 children who then end up in a broken care system, were probably both abused and taken advantage of in various ways, again, no sense of self, no foundation, lives of struggle and doing what they needed to survive. Our newspapers would vilify Screech. Some people would call him evil because it's so much easier to blame the child than the system. But he never stood a chance, none of them did. It was all inevitable in a world where looking too deeply at someone's situation uncovers shortcomings in a system that are too difficult to put right. Society is rigged.

Liked

I never get sick of hearing reactors say “Who the hell is Violet?” 😂

Yeah this is a deep dive here

Your messagge is noted. This was shared to Ren’s grp also. Ty.

Just sub for more Ren..great reaction

think netflix is ready for ren???? you're knocking these reactions out of the park, dude!!! is the world ready to be mind f'd by ren? HELL YEAH!!! love kathleen bts renegade

subscribed, i love the way you look at music. good luck with your dad, when you want something a bit away from ren, but just as emotional,- try kasey chambers rendition of eminems lose yourself

Great T shirt, check out Humble with Eden Nash and love music parts 1,2,3,4 🧠💥😎 Wow! cool you build guitar's form scratch.

in Screech tale when he make phone call she busy because she with Patrick that why he never answer the door

It's not factual. It's from Ren's imagination. There was a brief newspaper article that got him thinking but the rest is Ren. The article said little more than a 14 year old boy had killed a young woman in a knife attack but he even changed those bare-bones details, as the woman was quite a bit older than 14, there was no mention of her being a prostitute, like Jenny. They weren't siblings and the boy was arrested, not shot. That was actually the most jarring moment for British audiences, as the British police are unarmed, except for some specialist units but they don't tend to patrol the streets. So, apart from that tiny snippet of news, the rest is Ren. The date in Violet's Tale, 2005, is obviously also the birth date for Jenny and James/Screech. They died when they were 14, which means they died in 2019, when the first parts of the Tale were released. :)

Idk but he says 2005 could be real

Your shirt -oh you gotta look at ren’s friends Joe&Vik their forest wood video. Hilarious

❤😊

Please don't feel like you have to apologise for pausing it's your reaction 😊 and FYI Ren won't put a copy right claim against you 😊 if it happens just challenge it and Rens team will lift the copy right claim ❤

I think this story that Ren has given us has so many layers and depths...why was 14 yr old jenny out at night with high heels and rosey cheeks? She walked them a thousand times before... sounds like teenage prostitution to me. Maybe my brain is just tarnished and jaded. I'd be a far richer man if I had a dollar everything I've heard someone say " who the hell is Violet" I'd be a much wealthier man. Ren has a definite dark side. Thank you for the honest reaction.

There must be more than me giggling when Violet's tale started and the ever-more words out of the reactor's mouth. Who the hell is Violet? LOL Sorry, just made me laugh this time.

A story of generational trauma.

Well that was quick

I dont think we know if it is true. He is just bringing this DV stuff to light.

Good video 👍

A one-take jenny piece in#bardcore form.

Violet is next

Hi

Beautiful but WAY not pretty.

I typically recommend watching a couple times for each Ren vid. I’m on the higher scale (20ish) of each except Su!c!de… I lost a friend as well years back, don’t want to hear the song again.
