I am so far down this rabbit hole. I was watching one of Sam's videos where he "reacts" to his own performances from the past. He said he started busking at 16 with no mike or anything. One day an older guy came up and told him he had an amazing voice but he needed to draw attention with a mike and even someone playing guitar. He offered to lend the equipment and play guitar for a day and told Sam he could keep any of the money they made. He went from making something like 40 pounds to 200 pounds that day. And the guy kept his word and let Sam keep it all. That older guy was Ren and they became friends. I mean, c'mon. Can either one of them get any more likeable??

You need to watch the ‘car park attendant’ version of this just for your own viewing pleasure. It all goes wrong but they still pull it off. Total class!
It would have been amazing to be there! Those people are so lucky. In Estonia you would not see artists busking on the street like that. Thay are amazing. Great reaction as ever. Have a great day!
I might be weird for this, but I actually prefer this chill acoustic version they did in a car park feat angry car park attendant 😂 There’s something so damn impressive with how they keep it going while stuff goes wrong. Just two guys chilling singing a song together and it still sounds absolutely beautiful. They have such great chemistry.
if you go to the car park attendant video and read the comments EVERYONE in the comment section says that the car park attendant version is their favorite version and I absolutely agree with them.
As mentioned below there is a version of this song live where they get kicked out of a parking garage and continue playing, even breaking a guitar string...never losing rhythm "Ren & Sam - Blind Eyed Ft. Angry Car Park Attendant"
God I love this song! There are so many different versions of it out there from the highly produced music video to the MC Sessions take in a small room. Personally, that one is my favorite, but they all give me the shivers. Thanks for highlighting this one, Cliff!
Ren is a member of “the big push” which is an alternative band. Lots of great covers and live music. Give that page a look my guy. You won’t be disappointed.
Jennys Tale was the first of Ren's songs I heard (well before the Screech and Violet parts), but this was actually the one that completely hooked me and put Ren and Sam up in my list of favourite artists ever.
I love this version of Blind Eyed, thanks for reacting on it. Sam Tomkins is awesome, whatta voice. His inspiration is Justin Bieber and Justin Bieber contacted him, and Sam got to perform with Justin at one of Justin's concerts in front of thousands. It was awesome. You'll find it on youtube somewhere.
Sam Tompkins has an incredible catalogue of music, you should check him bro, start with you broke my heart so gently , or my brother. Or just any Sam Tompkins song tbh 😂
Had to poke my head into comments on this one. Ren strikes a certain chord with dealing with issues. I have a few of those, and find comfort in artists that know, and put it into their music. Makes it real and relatable. I've been fortunate enough to "mod" for a few of my favorite artists, and help in some way. Loved your reaction video, and subscribed immediately. Keep it up, Bro. And if you ever get big enough to need a RUclips moderator, I'm available
Great reaction to another piece of raw real music. Another amazing song by Ren is one he made about 7 years ago, it features a collaboration with a female singer called Bibi and is called 'Crutch'. It features a much younger Ren dealing with his shit full on. Check it out it's brilliant (like pretty well everything he's done)
Another amazing reaction. I would really love if you would do one of his older songs called 'Crutch - featuring Bibi'. I don't think you would regret it. It could be a movie soundtrack.
Even if just for yourself please watch the acoustic version called angry carpark attendant. Same song but even better sound and truly shows their talent walking and singing and playing while guitar strings break and an angry carpark attendant tries to kick them out 😂 it's my favourite!
Sam shared this video in 2018 and told the story when he met Ren for the first time: ruclips.net/video/5CLas8s4u2k/видео.html "5 years ago when i was 16 years old, i used to go busking in Brighton to make myself a little bit of pocket money so i could do 16 year old shit. i couldn’t play the guitar and didn’t have an amp, but i’d put my hat down and just hope people would stop and give my voice a listen. one day, a young guy was walking past and must’ve heard something he liked cos he was watching me whilst i sung my heart out so intently. after i finished my song, he came over to me and said that he’d finished busking for the day, he had a guitar and an amp, and said if i wanted i could use them. i politely declined and said i couldn’t play the guitar, i wouldn’t have a clue where to start. he said that he would play for me and whatever money i made, i could keep all for myself. we played for an hour or so and it was amazing. people were actually stopping, and I can honestly say it was the first time i felt comfortable with singing to people. this was the very moment and the very first song me and that boy played together. that boy was Ren and I’m honestly welling up typing this, but he’s my best friend and my brother. i’ve seen ren go through some of the toughest stuff I’ve ever seen anyone have to go through and he’s inspired me the whole way. i cry almost every time I watch this video. it’s such a special moment to have had captured and glad i can now share it with all of you ❤"
Please check out Bongo Bong and Englishman in New York, both amazing covers ! He sings them live with two of the members of the band he was in 'The Big Push' Btw, Sam supported Justin Bieber on one of his European tour concerts.
Man this is the first song I heard by ren and Sam, absolutely LOVE this song, they're both amazing artists and both FINALLY being recognised for there talented music ❤❤❤
It's such a nice beat 💓 There's a really cute version of this live that is a compilation of clips and many of them show what an amazing dynamic Ren and his band had, these two in particular. Then there's ANOTHER version where they perform it in a parking garage (INSANE REVERB), even through getting thrown out of the garage and one of Rens strings snapping. Because Ren just won't stop and thank goodness 🤘🤘🤘
Ren - uninvited, patience, living room poetry , 1990s, bullet , dear god, four elements, French song, girls, it's alright, (not the big push one) all my life, fly me to the moon rockstar, run away, Satellite Girl, street lights, Wildfire. The Big Push- sweet little lady, dignity
Please check out his band The Big Push covering I shot the sheriff, Road to Zion & Hip Hop. The one with Ren in the red suspenders!!!! And also them covering Wade in the water, Nina Simone, Trouble so hard!!!!! You will love them both!!!! Also need to check out Romaine Axisa, He is something special too!!!
Of course he is going to be amazing how mom is a vocal coach he been to uni for music drama trust me Ii listen to them none stop every free moments they on my radar
How ye doing mate, big fan of yourself and passionate reactions to various music and talent. I share your thoughts so many non talents making millions whole the real talent are busking for their dinner... I watch all your Harry Mack content snd surprised to see Sam and Ren I listened to them two everyday for a long time a while back. Unfortunately they aren't together anymore, however Ren has a new band called THE BIG PUSH I suggest you check out some of their creative stuff. They do an awesome cover of Praise You by Fat Boy Slim Also if you are wanna mix up the genres some more also check out Cam Cole he does some of his own awesome styles of Blues/Rock. He his all his drums and snares at his feet while he jams with his crazy mad max esk customised guitar 😂 Would love to see some reaction to Cam Cole mate. New Age Blues is my favourite song from him. He has his own wagon he lives in and just tours the country, pulls out his little hike and music rig and plays packs away cycles home to his nearby vintage wagon lol
Must have missed this reaction from ya, but just sayin' Sam's in North America doing a tour. I'll be going up to Toronto to see him next Tuesday (Oct 3, 2023.) 'Cmon, it's not that far! Maybe tickets are still available for you. :) ...yeah, it about a seven hour drive for me, but gotta do it.
Am quickly learning that everything Ren does is insanely special. Find a new favourite as each day passes. Would love you to react to an older song of his called Crutch - serious chills.
I love this video but I honestly think the recorded version of this song is the best, it’s just so clean and the beat and production are just 🔥 plus the video is dope! Definitely worth going back and watching, even if it’s off camera.
Sounds crazy, but they have better versions of this live out there, but if i saw these guys playing on the street .. probably canceling my plans for that day

Thanks for sharing. Just watched the video. Really moving to get to know the history.
Who's Mike
You need to watch the ‘car park attendant’ version of this just for your own viewing pleasure. It all goes wrong but they still pull it off. Total class!
Blind Eye ft. angry car park attendant is my favorite too... they destroy that guitar! 🤣❤🔥🎸
LOVE Ren and Sam ! ' Earned it' 'Man's World ' will blow you away 🔥🇬🇧 Thanks for your reactions.
I second this xx He doesn't know, He doesn't know 🤣🤣 xx
Yes!!!! Soooo good 😍
It would have been amazing to be there! Those people are so lucky. In Estonia you would not see artists busking on the street like that. Thay are amazing. Great reaction as ever. Have a great day!
Cliff you should do his I shot the Sheriff/road to Zion medley the one with 5 million+ views, it’s incredible!!
Seconded. My favourite Big Push video.

Yessss I love that one so much. I've watched every version of this song and that ones my favorite by far!
Totally agree!
Sam and Ren compliment each other so much xx ❤️🐢❤️ xx
It’s like magic!
@@supertuscans9512 yes it's amazing to watch them performing together xx
Have you seen her performance in the cover of Marvin Gaye’s ‘Sexual Healing”?
I’m not sure I like the cover but she is unbelievably good.
@@supertuscans9512 whos performance xx
😂, both are great but she really shines in that one.
As mentioned below there is a version of this song live where they get kicked out of a parking garage and continue playing, even breaking a guitar string...never losing rhythm "Ren & Sam - Blind Eyed Ft. Angry Car Park Attendant"
you have to react to ren and sam live falling/man's world/earned it. PLEAS U WILL LOVE IT
I concur!!! It would be bad ass to see this performance!!
Something about the rawness and imperfections makes this almost perfect!!
I wished I was there too. They reached every generations, young and old, on the street. Thanks for this. Have a great day everyone.
God I love this song! There are so many different versions of it out there from the highly produced music video to the MC Sessions take in a small room. Personally, that one is my favorite, but they all give me the shivers. Thanks for highlighting this one, Cliff!

oh man same
Ive been on Ren's Spotify, and I'm locked in. "What you want" is so good!
I do believe I sent you the link 4 yrs ago fam... cheers for the video mate 😎 👌
If you want the best live performance ever then either watch the trilogy but the 360 live version or the one where Man’s world is in the title
I love this version of Blind Eyed, thanks for reacting on it.
Sam Tomkins is awesome, whatta voice. His inspiration is Justin Bieber and Justin Bieber contacted him, and Sam got to perform with Justin at one of Justin's concerts in front of thousands. It was awesome. You'll find it on youtube somewhere.
Fuck yeah
So bloody good!!! ❣️ A fav on my Spotify playlist!
Summed it up perfectly dude! Make sure you check out the angry car park attendant version, the rawness is very special on that one!❤
Sam Tompkins has an incredible catalogue of music, you should check him bro, start with you broke my heart so gently , or my brother. Or just any Sam Tompkins song tbh 😂
Sam can really fucking sing, that is for sure!
Absolutely amazing. This is art at its purest form. Mad respect
First time posting but I love what you do man please keep it going you deserve more and you keep me above water when I’m feeling like I’m drowning
Yes yes yes
Much respect my brother keep it honest and real like you always try to do
Love these guys together!
There are several versions of this song around RUclips the official video version is quite different my favourite version is blind eyed MC sessions
That's a rare duo! Skills on skills

So versatile! ✨👍🏼✨
Check Big Push that Ren’s bend. They are insane!!🔥
Fun one is 'Ocean (Bonus Track)' by Ren and Eden Nash from Demos Vol. 2
He is a 🐐
I 2nd that ❤❤
Great reaction to another piece of raw real music. Another amazing song by Ren is one he made about 7 years ago, it features a collaboration with a female singer called Bibi and is called 'Crutch'.

❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Fire 🔥 Cliff your a legend Mate 🙏👏👏🇺🇸🇬🇧
This song gave me hope recovering after an induced coma, must've listened a few hundred times, just so good.
And he sings like that with the smoke still in his lungs, thats so fucking insane
Fun fact sam Tompkins is the voice from the famous tik tok song 'talking to the moon'
Telling you , check out the parking garage version too
Fab reaction as always Cliff! Such a great track and performance!
Another amazing reaction. I would really love if you would do one of his older songs called 'Crutch - featuring Bibi'. I don't think you would regret it. It could be a movie soundtrack.
We love you Cliff. You are so honest and real. Breath of fresh air. GO BEARS!!!

Gotta check out ocean and Humble featuring Eden Nash. They are both awesome

Their energy is beautiful. Made me smile immediately.
🖤🖤🖤
you should listen to 'I Miss Sarah' by Sam Tompkins, the meaning of the song really comes together at the end
Haven't seen this one before, so cool for you to find these gems!
Looking great, Cliff😍 Another awesome reaction, looking forward to seeing you in the next one😎❤
Love you cliff
I like at @2:15 the bus wants to turn down the street 🤣
Sam goes higher than this too! And to think he’s smoking too 😂🖤
Ren and chinchilla once dance is good too!
Love Music pts 1,2 & 3 or How To Be Me with Chinchilla (live) next please.
Sam just casually smoking and then hitting those notes like its nothing. He's basically just giving other singers a chance at that point.
😂😂😂
❤
