Holy shit, the last thing I expected to see when I woke up was a reaction video from Justin Hawkins from the darkness reacting to my video, maybe im still sleeping or have woken up in an alternate universe but if not, thank you for reacting and for the kind words my friend, you're a legend

Today, I'm speechless for once. Please watch Ren's song "Hi Ren" in full here, I couldn't play longer passages due to getting copyright claimed: https://youtu.be/s_nc1IVoMxc

FYI, Ren will NOT copyright strike anyone reviewing his music. He loves reactions and it shares his music so please do full reactions to him. Your reaction is great and we'd all benefit from more of it. Thank you.

We all need to protect Ren. He is a lyrical genius. I am super proud of him flying the flag for us all here in North Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

When I first heard this I cried 😢 you see I've battled with voices in my head for at least 50 years and to see this young man bringing it to light is just amazing 👏

So fucking happy Ren is finally getting his flowers. Been listening to him for years and he’s one of the most creative, talented, and most importantly, strong willed artists I’ve ever seen. If I could wish success and happiness for one artist, it’s our Ren.

Reading through the comments about Rens' tune on many other streams, I noticed that there are a lot of comments from people like me...middle aged blokes. It's no small achievement for a young, contemporary, indy rap artist to bring so many middle aged cynical blokes to tears and hit us in the feels.

9 months ago, this video introduced me to Ren and today I am celebrating his album Sick Boi hitting #1 in the UK charts while waiting for my vinyl copies of the album to arrive. I wonder what the next 9 month will bring. Thank you for getting me started on the wonderful musical and emotional journey that is Ren!

For anyone who was not around the first time the Beatles or Bowie hit the scene - this is what it felt like. Ren, like the other genius before him ( and I do not use that word lightly ) will, I pray, always stay grounded and not allow anyone to squander or take advantage of his huge gift. His health must come first and his growing fans hopfully will honor and realize this so that he can share himself with us at his own pace. Like Vincent Van Gogh, Oscar Wilde, Egon Shiele, Amy Winehouse, the list goes on and on .... the audience - which is US, must learn to take care of our artists. They are a gift to humanity, our humanity. May Ren live an long, full, productive and prosperous life, sharing his talent when it suits him and in the way in which it suits him. His coming on the world stage after Covid is part of our global healing - letting us all know how tender life can be.

It's wonderful when someone with as much talent as our kind host is gobsmacked speechless by another artist. That's when you know it's real. Thanks much, Justin.

Those of us who have been privileged to watch Ren over the years in Brighton already know he is brilliant but it’s so lovely to watch everyone else coming on board.

Haven't been blown away by an artist in years. But I don't think I've actually ever been grabbed so quickly by anyone before. All of his stories, songs, one take videos are just amazing. I was sad to read about his current struggles, while looking to see if he is touring. Hope he gets well speedily as he will be in demand. Excited to see him explode into everyone's life. Something special here and I think he will be legend from now far into the future. Love seeing us older lot being excited too. It's so rare. He is not like anyone else. Truly unique.

This was exactly the reaction I had when I first heard it. Absolute awe. It’s just inspiring, disturbing and truly enlightening. I love how unapologetically raw it is, but yet so well thought out and performed with so much style and believability. A monumentally important piece of work.

The thing with Ren is that because he doesn't write for commercial success but does it purely from the heart on topics and themes that are deeply personal or reflect subjects that are already difficult to confront like in Jenny's Tale, it becomes impossible to categorise and critique. Contemporary, poetic and hard hitting. I'm so glad he's finally getting the recognition he so deserves.

A massive thanks again Justin for widening our musical minds and introducing Ren. I am a musician and I watched this and was so moved and stunned, I then watched every other video he has on YT, OMG you challenge him to top this, but this is his standard, this is normal for him, watch the rest they're completely amazing. This is not normally my kind of thing, but you can't turn them off they are so captivating.

At first I was like “WTF, man I dunno…." Then I got about a minute in and fell in love with this song. New music doesn’t often give me chills (I’m old) but by the end , this did it.

I have never been so moved by a performance. That whole video is amazing. And that he does it live is just insane. Such an intense and inspiring thing to watch.

That's an old head on young shoulders! Such a talent. Glad he's being heard. Thank you Justin!

Ive watched several reaction videos as well as the original video so many times.... but I never fail to get a shiver go down my spine and tears in my eyes when Ren goes into full singing voice in the final part of the song. This song has no boundaries, it cannot be shoehorned into a genre... it is poetry, music and theater all in one tortured and beautiful package.
