Sh*t. This Nearly Made Me Cry.

Justin, ive just spoke to my distributor and he's whitelisted ur channel so any songs of mine you upload from now will be copyright infringement free so u dont have to go through all the polava of choppin em up! and if any still somehow pop up feel free to press 'disupte claim' and itll all be approved and get rid of the copyright claim for you. I gift you the gift of youtube monetisation my friend! Thankyou for the reaction and the kind words! Love ya man

Ren's YOUTUBE CHANNEL copyright struck the video, not a label. Not all strikes are from record labels. I would've included the entire video otherwise. For everyone telling me I didn't get a strike, I did when I uploaded a version with an uncut video, the audio was picked up by his channel. It's an automated thing, it's not Ren personally doing it. And before you comment it's a trilogy, someone has commented this already - but I was moved by this as a stand alone piece regardless.

Just watched this on Rens channel and I’m speechless. Is it music? Theatre? Poetry??? All I know for sure is that it’s pure art and it’s absolutely fucking amazing

besides the tragic story, i'm getting major bard vibes with some of his songs. Telling tales with his voice and a lute in a medieval tavern.

At present Ren is going through some incredibly harsh treatment. Follow some of the links and you will find a post from Ren explaining everything. There is a trade off and I just NEED to thank, first of all, you Justin for turning me on to this artist and, of course, Ren, your work is soul-shaking. All the desperate things inside of me stand at attention when confronted with your truth. There's just so much I could say but this isn't the platform for that. The two of you(Justin, Ren) appeared right at a time when I am so unsure about a lot of things. Thank you for being a sort of comfort when I need it most.

You don't need to change your reaction style I watch you for your style. You are the reason I found Ren the greatest find in a long time. Plus I love your singing.

There has to be something noteworthy about the fact that Ren is the only artist I’ve seen multiple reviewers make disclaimers about how their audience gets mad about the reviewer pausing the video. People want to experience the journey Ren is taking us on together, music hasn’t done that to the greater audience since reaction videos became a thing… Ren is bringing art back baby!

Justin you are hillarious. And Ren could be one of the greatest artists ever. What a talent.

Thanks for introducing me to Ren, Justin! Incredible. I want to hip you and all to a recent singer songwriter that tragically lost his mental health battle in 2019. Zack Rosen was his name. He was my bassist, but for a while I was unaware that he wrote songs. I'll never forget hearing the demos he shared with me for the first time, realizing he was an actual genius. Zack asked me to produce his debut album, which we were in the middle of making when he took his own life after a years-long battle with schizophrenia. It unfortunately had to be finished posthumously and comes out next month, 3/24/23, on Sean Lennon's label Chimera Music.

He's a bard in my opinion. He's a genius.

The medieval mad monk minstrel persona was not something I was expecting but I enjoyed his guitar and performance.

I love his bard style. This whole story broke my heart when I first heard it all the way through.. Jenny, Screech, and Violet.

Wow, that was really different.....like a minstrel.....definitely going to listen to more of his stuff.

Looking forward to seeing your interview with Ren 👍

People who complain about pausing the song to talk, here's an idea: pause Justin, go listen/watch without interruption, then come back for the reaction

As a long time follower of Ren, I'm so excited that you've reviewed him twice and that he's getting so much attention! It's so exciting! The empathy he shows in this song is amazing. It's so realistic.

Ren is such an amazing story teller. These songs are incredible. The whole sequence of Jenny, Screech and Violet is amazing. Thanks for bringing Ren to us.

This is easily the most emotionally powerful writing and performing I've ever seen.

So pleased you picked up on Ren what a wonderful soul singing lad playing his life out in full view. Thank you Ren.

Jenny's tail and Screeches tail are the stories that come before this, brilliant.
