FYI, Ren call these retakes. It's when he takes a song and uses the beat/melody/arrangement and he creates a rap to go over it. He's done one with a Fat Boy Slim track "Right Here Right Now" and DJ Fishers EDM dance track "Losing It". He does them for fun and doesn't release them for any profit. Fun fact the Lead guitarist for The Verve was so impressed with what Ren did he bought and shipped Ren a new electric guitar. Ren opened it up on his twitch stream for his fans to see. He was so excited.
Did you hear the News: 5/5/2023 (Hip-Hop/Rap charts): Ren's new drop ANIMAL FLOW hit #1 UK itunes chart, #8 Australian itunes chart, #18 US itune charts. 💣 🔥💣
2 points of interest on this video- when he says "as above so below in this city we glow" they timed it so the sun cast a shadow exactly in the middle of the street and when he says "in this city we glow" he steps into the light... And when he's sayin about the mother standing at a grave he's standing above a grave shaped manhole cover. I asked the question on his video about the sun and he replied and confirmed it and then told me about the grave. Man's a G
Nice Social commentary think lads. This is Britain, My Britain. The Britain I love, Not perfect I understand that. But we do do a lot of stuff right and that is the bit we should be very proud of.
I love this song so much its an absolute masterpiece, I also love the fact he's from my little island. Must say we provide amazing talent if nothing else
My 1st time listening to Ren (got enough rabbit holes open) and F**K, I am a rocker by music taste, but this guy is a landscape artist...though with words. In these few minutes he captured England's inner city life better than an hour long documentary could.
I love this! The Verve's bassist gifted him his bass after hearing this! So next you need to do the big push, I shot the sheriff mash up followed by the war pigs mash up. They gigged it in that order as you will see. Look for the videos with ren wearing the red braces (suspenders). There are alternative ones but they are not quite as good a quality!
@@ajorngjdonaydbr I'm a 58 year old grandmother. I think I'm grown up. I don't know where you get your perception that "Britain" gives any one impression of what and who we are. Who is Britain according to you? It's 3 different countries with a really diverse community and a mixture of cities, market towns, villages, and beautiful, stunning countryside. I think you might need to consider more diverse sources of information before you tell everybody else what to think.
@@LeeannG ok cool, but the original is a stunning all time classic. This version is a joke in comparison. However i get it, it's not meant to be a remake, just using their instrumental
@@arsenalmanic RETAKE not REMAKE and I might be a bit biased because I find the original a bit whiny. But I wouldn’t called it, or this, an abomination. People have different musical tastes to be fair, and you’re of course welcome to not like it. But to call it “an abomination” seems like an overreaction. It’s a love letter to where he’s from and it makes me feel uplifted and happy ❤️
The Bass player of The Verve heard this song he liked it that much, and sent REN on of his Bass guitars.
Britain is not Dreary, and he was not saying that .

Some cracking artists come out of 'dreary old Britain' eh !
Definitely. Look at the names amd bands and past and present. I find Britain do music the best
I love this song so much its an absolute masterpiece, I also love the fact he's from my little island. Must say we provide amazing talent if nothing else
This is no cover , he does his own lyrics just like losing it ,just ren playing homage

Dreary old Britain knocking it out of the park with the music nowdays huh
Exactly what I was going to say. Shhh, I think it's a little bit of jealousy.😊
Hey boys, great to see you reacting to Ren !
Great reaction!! ❤❤🔥🔥
Poetry in motion
You should google map Brighton, it's a beautiful place. The Pier and Dome are Fab The buildings are quaint and inviting.
Hiya folks, it's not a cover it's a retake ✌🐦.
The best retake from him is Fisher-Losing it. Pure genius, Artist.

... lovin' the Megamind reference there at the end. 😸
I don’t normally like this sort of music but as I’m English and know the streets I kinda like it,not bad at all 🍺🇬🇧
I love this! The Verve's bassist gifted him his bass after hearing this!

MD represents! Loved the reaction!
you aren't the first reactors who hesitated because oh no not bittersweet symphony but were WOW by the end.
I feel like the Ren community is one of the best. Loving his discord
Dreary old Britain? Pffft!🏴
Have heard there version of (Englishman in New York ) with the Big push
ren crucify your culture please react to this one off his !!!!!
just down the road from me in brighton,south coast uk
Yep " That was Great " !....Cheers lads.....lol
Kids a talent
Ren😊😊😊😊
oi mate britain is never dreary weather may be shit at times but hey were used to it make the best of it take the piss and have fun
Bra ve to cover that song but interesting to create a rap with that somber back story a bit blown away by that thank you guys
Retake does not equal cover. Sane with Loosing It Fischer Retake
I had no idea Jamie T had cloned himself in younger form!
Please check out love is noise by the verve. It’s the best verve song
The Big Push does covers...this is a retake
Do the live version of Chalk Outlines!
Turn the crappy autogenerated captions off. They're just a distraction
Big push - war pigs is great
Jaime T vibes
It's a Retake, not a cover
why live anywhere else
Chav-rap.
REN IS AI ACTOR

I usually like you guys but "dreary old Britain" is insentitive and ill informed.
Grow up, it's the perception that britian gives the world.

First time hearing this guy...hope it's the last.
this is an abomination of Bittersweet Symphony.
The verve likes it, one of the members of the band sent Ren a guitar because he liked it so much 😝
hi there its just a different take on it and not meant to be a remake of the song...

@@arsenalmanic if the Verve bassist likes it and actually gifted him a bass guitar, it's hardly an abomination bud.
