Took my daughter to city to see and donate to all our local buskers since she was 2 yrs old. She's in her 20's now and played drums since she was 10. She plays in a band just for fun and loves it. We also still go out to see our buskers every chance we get. She always gives me a peck on the cheek and thanks me for introducing her to music. For me as a parent music appreciation is important. It taps into your soul and can save your life. What can I say....."Music is life." ❤
So, grunge would be def a brave new challenge for our hero - beautiful and sad melodies, lots of disturbing guitars and even more harsh, real, life transforming stories to tell. I say - yes, please.
Nirvana means a lot to me Ren! They were my brothers favorite that passed away. You did beautiful. Kurt was one of a kind, and I think you did it justice. Thank you!
Indeed he was! One of a kind, but then so is this strange enigmatic Welsh Boy I keep hearing of... Ren, I think that's what they call him? From what I hear? A cover of another album? Would be a great idea, but an awful waste of talent. 😉 I'm so sorry to learn about your brother. I'm sure he would've been a huge fan of Rens and I bet he's really proud of you for your taste in great music, something the two of you can share forever ❤❤❤❤
@Tinkerbell9332 an absolute pleasure! It's straight from the heart 🫶🏻 ... I can't imagine losing a sibling. But to loss, I can relate. And how music keeps people alive in our hearts, long after they're gone.🫂🎸🎙❤️
GenX here. I’ve been following you for a couple of years now. You never cease to amaze. Your talent is obvious but, what makes you special is you just fucking belt from the heart and soul. Voice, instrument, lyrics, whatever. I’m 53 now. You are my favorite artist today. Just fucking keep on writing, singing, playing whatever you feel. Much love.
I'm 74 and feel the same, lived through many musical innovations and genres Ren is not only up there with the greats but actively surpasses many. Firmly in the top echelon historically
@@Threadbow , Ya, but it’s Ren. I’m 60, and I know about Ren. That voice would stop me in my tracks. Those people don’t look like busy NYC types. They look like casual shoppers who don’t want to drop a fiver.
😮 Comme j'aimerais tellement y être là-bas pour voir ce jeune homme surdoué polyvalent unique grand artiste complet pur chef d'œuvre je l'aime tellement merci REN 🙏
Ren covering Nirvana...one musical genius, with the potential to change the musical landscape forever, covering a band that did exactly that over 30 years ago.
Ren I love the way you cover Heart Shaped Box it is one of my favourite Nirvana tracks. Please Ren I would really love a fully produced cover of this. This lifted me so much today, you’ll never know how much. Thank you❤
Now and then, a cover beats the original: ~ Disturbed’s “The Sound of Silence” ~ Alien Ant Farm’s “Smoth Criminal” ~Ren’s “Heart Shaped Box” (with a bit of “Lithium” at the end).
Thank you for putting this one up. As someone that has been listening to them since they were a kid, I think that this is one of the top covers that I have heard. Keep being you!
I just got off a long shift at work, and this was the best thing to come home to, Ren and Nirvana are my two favourites, Kurt and Ren are my musical heroes!
C'mon@@SharonWoodford-cb5ddFirst off "Collaborating" with someone means to work together with each other to create something (i.e. music). Ren is doing a tribute to Nirvana, which is literally showing his respect to Kurt Cobain and Nirvana by doing this "tribute" song, which I'm sure Kurt Cobain would be proud to have someone like Ren showing him this respect for his music! And I guarantee that everyone who is a fan of Rens, and knows everything about his life's journey feels the exact same way!
Ooh love this!! There are so many great covers from this busking session! Please upload more! 😁 Message in a bottle House of the rising sun Breezeblocks
Wow this is amazing. It's one thing to hear someone do a great cover, but it's a whole new level when you're able to do a different rendition that has your own style in it and is as good as original. Amazing!
Ren, this is one of my fav busking videos from you..... kurt would be proud with the way you sand these songs. Would love to see even more nirvana covers from you! Or even incubus. 😊💜💜💜
How lucky everyone is just to casually see Ren like this!
Who is he?
Ren??! Look him up.
thats what i was thinking~ he bad ass
Who else wants an entire ‘Ren covers Nirvana’ album?
Yes, please!
This. And Sublime
I would do unspeakable things to make this happen 🤣
💯❤
I want a Ren acoustique cover
I LOVE that mother at the end teaching her kid how to donate to a busker!
That... was awesome.
And then Ren swearing at the kid XD

@@natahliak7691Love This ☺️
@@jimmygillard Where did he swear at the kid?
This is one of the most talented and under rated singers out right now
Ren somehow embodied being unique whilst keeping the integrity of Nirvana💜🖤💜🖤💜
It's just a cover man, don't overthink it.
@@daveroles3783 my comment is just my opinion don't overthink it 😁
This man transcends music. It’s like watching Rembrandt perfect painting.
You need to get a grip on yourself mate.
@stevewildish7063 haha
Honestly he's got Bradley nowell energy the lead singer of sublime
This guy! He gets a number 1 album and still goes out and busks in Brighton. Sticking to what made him who he is. What a legend!
This is an old clip . He’s not in Brighton now
So, grunge would be def a brave new challenge for our hero - beautiful and sad melodies, lots of disturbing guitars and even more harsh, real, life transforming stories to tell. I say - yes, please.
I'd like to see him cover some Alice in Chains, if anyone could pick up where Layne left off it's Ren. He's got the range and the pain.
Who better than Ren, to genuinely express Kurt's interest in music? Absolutely perfect!
Ren and Kurt would've been the collab of the century 🖤💔 My two top music idols.
You'll get what you ask for soon enough with AI< but it won't be what you want.
@@noahlewis4903 , AI makes sh!t music.
@@SuziQ. Lol... As with every ignorant comment on AI, the only response is, "for now".
Nah, I met Kurt, he was a prick, Ren is much more positive vibes.
@@jonathansteadman7935 even if we a prick doesn't mean they wouldn't make a great collab. Ren is a huge Kurt fan so, I'm sure he'd be up for it 😉

@AshleighJane-nd2qx It really does! I have a Playlist I made of music he loved and I used to have his mp3 player. I play it on his birthday
A grunge-girl waves to you Tink! Kurt, Lane, Jeff, Chris... Ren has to stay

Exactly the same thing here man. 52 and Ren is the best.
I'm 74 and feel the same, lived through many musical innovations and genres Ren is not only up there with the greats but actively surpasses many. Firmly in the top echelon historically
Im 34 and the things he does to me internally is unlike anything I've ever felt or experienced before
@@regreg5416age is irrelevant when you feel this…
We are privileged 😊
I’m not young either
When I first saw this video, I was still amazed that people walk away and only a few people appreciate that they are seeing a miracle
I defo would of been rocking it out 😅🎉❤
I would have to be late to wherever I was headed. No way I wouldn’t 🛑 ❤😊
Same, until the camera panned to a few Renegades.
Were the fast walkers extras, or something? No one dropped any cash. 😢
@@SuziQ.Busy city people have places to go things to do.
Not everyone has all day to just sit around 🙃
@@Threadbow ,
Ya, but it’s Ren. I’m 60, and I know about Ren. That voice would stop me in my tracks.
Those people don’t look like busy NYC types. They look like casual shoppers who don’t want to drop a fiver.
Just imagine taking a casual walk in Brighton and bumping into this LEGEND.
😮 Comme j'aimerais tellement y être là-bas pour voir ce jeune homme surdoué polyvalent unique grand artiste complet pur chef d'œuvre je l'aime tellement merci REN 🙏
Kurt changed music for me and Ren has done the same things. Ren made me so excited about music again. Kids don’t know what they are missing.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??? I LOVE THIS
HELL YEAH!!
Phenomenal!! Your such a blessing to listen to. I love your vibrate groovy spirit. I can't wait for the future of Ren. Change the world!!✨️🙏
The amount of balls you need to sing in the streets will never cease to amaze me.
Dude!... this is absolute gold dust. All the time I spent in Brighton every weekend I obviously missed the great stuff. Thanks, Ren...
Two of my favourite nirvana songs. Very smooth transition.
What a voice!!! What a cover! Love ya Ren!!
Ren covering Nirvana...one musical genius, with the potential to change the musical landscape forever, covering a band that did exactly that over 30 years ago.
Ren I love the way you cover Heart Shaped Box it is one of my favourite Nirvana tracks. Please Ren I would really love a fully produced cover of this. This lifted me so much today, you’ll never know how much. Thank you❤
You continue to blow my mind....thank you! 💙
One busker I would always stop and listen to 💜🔥
Brilliant vision of this Nirvana song! I love the busking videos to watch how the people come together to experience this magic!!
Incredible! It’s the way you make it look so easy! You’re the real deal, brother! 🙏🏻
This is what covers are for. Representing the universality of the human experience. Honestly, it's one of the things I love most about music
Awesome! I normally don't like covers that well. But you did great!! I love your music, voice, and messages you bring!
Now and then, a cover beats the original:
~ Disturbed’s “The Sound of Silence”
~ Alien Ant Farm’s “Smoth Criminal”
~Ren’s “Heart Shaped Box” (with a bit of “Lithium” at the end).
@@SuziQ. I love Disturbed's! But I don't think I heard the original artist first. Lol I'll have to check out the other one!
Ohhh when the cover sounds great.
I love this type of Ren🎉
Goosebumps! Sounding great Ren!
Love this cover ❤
I never tire of listening to you. Waiting every day for your newest surprise❤
That guitar sound is on point. Awesome covers!
I LOVE YOU COVERING KURT!! THIS MEANS THE WORLD!! FOREVER IN DEBT TO YOUR PRICELESS ADVICE !! BLOODY BRILLIANT ❤❤❤❤❤
My two favourite artists ❤ I saw Nirvana live 3 times and Ren just channeled all of Kurt’s emotion ❤
The range of music you play/cover is just awesome .. your taste in music is as awesome as your talent of re/creating it
Excellent version Ren. You look great too. ❤ much love to you and your friends too.
Delicous. Your taste in music is brilliant and your interpretations are great enough to make the icons proud.
Played exactly as they were meant to be heard, perfectly imperfect. Simply brilliant. Thank you.
One of my favourite songs ever written x you do it justice.
Gorgeously done!
Thank you for putting this one up. As someone that has been listening to them since they were a kid, I think that this is one of the top covers that I have heard. Keep being you!
I just got off a long shift at work, and this was the best thing to come home to, Ren and Nirvana are my two favourites, Kurt and Ren are my musical heroes!
Making my heart feel whole with your singing again, you never fail 🖤
Love when the cupboards get dug through :-) even better when it's one of my favourite Nirvana songs
Ren just never fails to amaze me with what he can do. All time favorite musician. Big love!
I love this so much!!
What a beautifull cover!! ❤❤❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
THIS IS EXCEPTIONAL, YOU MORE THAN EXCEED MY EXPECTATIONS !!! YOUR VOICE IS GOLD !!
Loving these throwbacks! Seen them before but nice to have them where I can easily find them! ❤

Bruh those 'hey, wait' I've got chillssssss
What a banging good cover of one of my favourite songs!
Love his voice
That's a whole vibe!❤❤
Power! Love this song cover.
Great. Could vie with their MTV Unplugged work..
Wow, Ren. I loved the teaser of this cover on your IG story, but this.. Breathtaking ❤
Love it !!! Your absolutely the best!!!
so good I keep coming back to this ❤❤❤
I’ll admit I’m very very very tired…but when the post popped up on renmakesstuff…heart shaped box cover…I honestly thought you were crafting 😳🤍
I did too! 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 I love this. Even more than the song.. thanks for sharing 💙
Come on guys and girls ×××× I think curt would be rolling in his grave!! NIRVANA COLLABORATING WTF

How do I get this directly into my veins, please? The feeling ,the grit, the rasp in his voice...yes please!! Can not wait for the new music!!! ❤✌
😊
This is it. This is what I've been waiting for🫂❤️
Loved this! 🖤✌🏻🫶🏻
Thank you ❤
Fantastic Ren. I love watching you busk.. you are awesome.
Nice Teen Spirit
I just love this one, makes me want a moody screamo song or two from you Ren or maybe a whole album ❤❤❤
My favourite song by Nirvana!! This is amazing, your voice is haunting in this Ren 🥰
wow you're full of surprises...❤ so much love this, as Nirvana. * good on you mum...teach your boy well.
OMG !!! One of best covers ever ❤
Wow this is amazing. It's one thing to hear someone do a great cover, but it's a whole new level when you're able to do a different rendition that has your own style in it and is as good as original. Amazing!
Damn he can cover just about anything and make it sound awesome
There's nothing you can't do ♥️💪, Ren, you are always incredible. Amazing cover ❤❤
Ren, this is one of my fav busking videos from you..... kurt would be proud with the way you sand these songs. Would love to see even more nirvana covers from you! Or even incubus. 😊💜💜💜
Who knew that I would love someone besides Kurt doing this song. I have yet to hear a single track/cover of yours that I don't think is fantastic.
Only by title I gave thumbs up! But when Ren starts playing and his raw vocals on it I gave 100% respect!! 🎸💯
My comment " I love Ren's rock voice" under this video is one of my most liked comments on TikTok....just saying, Ren. 😏
Awesome man love it #Vibez 🔥🎙🔥🎼💥 💎🎧👀💎
Awesome. Also, happy you gave your shirt the day off!
You keep pressing more of my personal nostalgia buttons all at once, like a kid in an elevator. 😂 And I love it! ❤
Love hearing these stripped down and with Ren's vocal styling. Great interpretation!
All these people walking past a true legend in the making
BEAUTIFUL.
