Yes, I ballsed up and uploaded this by mistake for a grand total of 3 minutes when it was meant to be scheduled for next week Yes, I am an idiot Confirmed
I saw it oops sorry but not sorry it was Amazing,We love you REN ❤❤❤❤ It is my sisters funeral on the 29 so I would miss the premiere so I’m so glad I got to see it Thanks REN ❤
When I show people Ren, they always seem to want to compare him to the best in that particular genre, which is already a compliment… but it’s the versatility that’s amazing. Take those bests and throw them into different situations. Like imagine Kanye trying to do this. Or one of the best guitarists trying to do Genesis. Impossible.
So true. I fell in a brief trap of thinking of Ren as a rapper... it only lasted a couple of days and the whole time all I could hear in the back of my mind challenging "rapper" was that his rapping is an instrument. He's either singing when rapping, or he's using rap like a drummer (a drummer using jazz techniques, but doesn't play jazz)
Yes yesss. I’m fairly sure genres were only so tightly defined and enforced in the past because streamlining them made music business & promotion more convenient for the labels, radio stations, etc. But it’s entirely unsurprising that a natural musician/performer with varied interests and influences would visit all of them within his body of work. And the synergy between the influences takes him to a different (and arguably, new) level. See: bringing musicality into rapping, and dropping a casual little rap section into a crooning performance 🥬
And if you watch reaction videos to Ren, also hit the like button. People representing and building support without needing corporate interference. Just like the punk scene. Taking back control.
I go back through REN’s stuff because it’s better each time I listen . But I definitely feel you on the double check. I would not want to fail to hit the “ like”
This is what you get when you care more about making music than making it. And because people can feel that passion, Ren is making it too. Congratulations, man. You deserve every bit of it.
Music Industry: Your have to pick a lane with your art. Ren: (swerving all over the road) "Dude, I'm so drunk on music right now - where the fuck do you want to go this time lads!!!."
Ren i am a 70yr old female i was hooked from the moment i saw Hi Ren. You are the once in a generation artist. I lived through Beatle mania and never thought a performer would ever me feel the way l did back then but you have done it. I wish you the best of luck in everything you do.
As I get older, my brain keeps trying to tell me I've seen all there is to see... People like Ren breathe new life into the mundane. There are so precious few at his level, if any. Just amazing.
Same same! Definitely recommend a retake as well. Teach todays younger generation about songs that has deeper meaning behind the lyrics. We do not need a whole song on 1 chorus over and over.. you can actually tell a story with more than say - 10 words. 😂
I accidentally went down this rabbit hole 6 or 7 months ago watching Hi Ren. Im staying in this rabbit hole forever. Ren, you are a genres, a genius and people will be studying you 150 yrs ago from now, just like Shakespeare.
Joy around 2:16 with the instrumental. Sheeeeesh. What can’t you do, #REN ? I was a Sophomore/Junior in high school back in 1974. We listened to every genre of music back then. I felt reggae, Dean Martin crooning, early hip hop, SOUL/ R&B/Soul Train, the Police, and the Police singing a lullabye. Your music is a gift and it’s everything, @REN. Thank you. 🎼🎶🎹🎶🎸🎵🎤Another masterpiece. ❤🥰❤
Lol, since I basically have it on repeat and am listening to it constantly, I think I am single handedly raising the views. I wish it was on Amazon Music.
Right??? I watch the performances on repeat and get another arrow to the soul when I hear just the audio. It's been decades since a new artist has dug into me so deeply and in every way.
Isn’t that the Lady’s that did that song Karma for the series of True Blood 🩸 back in the day because they sure do remind me of them and REN is magnificent ❤
Amazing. The Message in a Bottle bit at the end along with An Englishman in New York makes me wonder when we're going to get to hear Sting covering one of Ren's songs. 😏
Rens comment section in a nutshell: "Ren, I hate fangirling, but as a 9,000 year old demi god your music is what keeps me young, it makes me relive my golden days, seriously, I mean it, everytime I feel like I'm getting old, and want to relive my good old 2,000s, I listen to your music, it always puts a smile on my face, I lost hope in all forms of music and artists long ago but when King Henry VIII introduced me to your music I was relieved to see that there's at least one artist left who makes actual good music. Thank you, Ren." I've stated quite a few times this comment was not meant to offend anyone, I just saw a pattern in comment sections (no offense to anyone who leaves these comments, they are nice) so I decided to make a joke around it, sorry.
I continue to be amazed. I am not aware of anyone close to having the gifts this talented bastard has! It is not just the acting, music, lyrics and voice. He is connected to an awareness and understanding of the universal accountability to human dignity we all have, through the balancing of our humanity which expresses the virtues that leads to natural wisdom, grace and joy. He also understands that lack of balance leads to the expression of vice that leads to ignorance, chaos, and suffering!
3 of his best friends committed suicide while Ren clawed his way back to life after laying in a bed for 1 year staring at the wall. Gene therapy and iron will brought him back to the land of the living. He is out of this world musician i have not encountered before. Such a privilege to click on a button and hear music like this. The demons this man fought, my mind can't comprehend. But as he said recently, i still have brain damage so i need to take it easy one day at the time.
As a 59 year young dutch girl 😝, i fell into the Ren rabbit hole in oktober 2023. I can't let go. Every time Ren surprises me. And every Ren song i come across, is my new favorite. Fighting against becomming an obsession....big hug and love to you Ren. You're awesome..❤❤
@@Hexenkind1 i affraid i'm to far gone already indeed. 😁 Have "power" by Ren on my phone as my ringtone. And every time my phone rings, i don't want to pick up because i want to hear the song...🙈
I wonder if us old people who experience the qualities of the '60s such as the Beatles recognized that Ren is super special. Friend, your music is outstanding. You are brilliant and give me so much pleasure.
Couldn't have said it better. 've been following my guy from the start and I'm just so thrilled to see him get the love his incredible difference deserves.
The joy Ren shows when he performs is palpable. It's so raw and pure it's intense. When Ren performs you could hear a pin drop. The versatility is astounding. The compliments could go on for hours seriously!!
@@elysabethpoodle6234 we can only hope. I'm a musician and I have played with a lot of people and I have heard some of them say it can be hard getting on stage night after night playing the same thing over and over. On the road away from your family. It's not as glorious as it looks. It's a really hard job. Mind you, our biggest crowd was only a couple hundred but that's a punk band for you.
@@nopepunx1981 Oh ok that makes sense what you're saying. I love listening to music but have no musical talent so that didn't dawn on me. I hope esp after what Ren has been through and the fact he has said music got him through his illness that this doesn't happen to him.
Jimmy had a really weird time line. He sold nuclear secrets way before he moved imports and exports out of Cuba, which just seemed like a little bit of a downgrade. Then decided to be a drug dealer for some bizarre reason. He just kept going backwards so it makes sense that he just gravitated to singer / songwriter after the gun misfired in the rain. Let's hope he has gotten therapy for the life long issues he had with his father.
I'm 48, I've been just annoyed by most music since the 90s. Almost everything I here by you gives me chills. You are a true artist, I do appreciate what you have done for my care of the next generation of music. Even if they all suck I could happily just loose myself in your works. Truly, thank you
Even funnier, because somehow we KNOW he snores. maybe I've come across him mentioning, but I doubt it. I know he snores. Not always, but often. I feel that in many ways The Ren Snore concept album would change music as we know it, opening whole new understanding of natural rhythm and sounds (at least to most English speakers) Best way to keep ahead of AI music, is to embrace all our perfect human "imperfections" - the more I laugh at this idea the more it makes sense. Nothing more vulnerable and human than our snores😅😂❤ @@sheryljones589
64 yo Renegade here, I think this is my favorite but I say that every time he drops a new song. Magnificent job Ren. You are the artist I’ve been waiting 30 years for! ❤
I hope you never lose your Brighton roots... I used to spend every weekend down there when I lived Hastings a few years back. You are an amazing artist and person. Much love!
I absolutely love how Ren makes each and every artist here have their shinning moment feel just as big and special a part of the songs as REN’s himself is. Like you can just see the joy and happiness on his face when the other artists take over to do a small bit in the song ….. I love that. Ren you are the sweetest and most special guy around !
I am yet another grownup (65 years) being happy, being able to be excited over music again. Ren is a true genius. He is only about 30. He has been seriously ill for more than half of that time. But still he is as good or even better and talented as many of the seasoned musicians. His lyrics are outer- and/or otherworldly and his videos are truely mesmerrising. All in all Ren is just pure magic, true Art on a totaly new level. I am for the first time since a very long time truely exited. Thank you REN, I whish you all the best in your life and with your music. I know you had a fallback with your health, so take care and get well soon
Man, I just can’t ever get tired of this….. its so good I can’t even talk about it…just the timing of everyone is ridiculous….. everything is absolutely on a another level… thank you Ren and all of you for this. God Bless.🌻🫶🏽❤️
Just wanna say I have followed you for a while now and I have to say no matter what type of genre you sing you absolutely kill it (for me anyways) but the thing that tops it off for me is you always have your own twist in the song your singing and I love it keep it up pal and stay strong 💪
This is such perfection my soul is feverish. My lord. The vibe makes me want a retake of Nina Simone’s “Feelin’ Good”and The Police’s “King of Pain.” I can hear it in my dreams…. As cool as Bar Valentino already was, now it’s iconic. Brilliant, sir. Kudos to the whole quartet.
First time hearing this guy... and wow! Just going through his back catalogue now. Lyrically, musically so talented. So good to find this amongst So much throwaway music nowadays x❤
This was the perfect introduction! So excited for your Ren journey, I see it's been around a month, now.. Man, what a ride you're on!! Sit back, seat belt on and enjoy! :)
(Wife speaking) I am a 38 year old woman, living in Idaho. I wasn't alive to see The Beatles take the world by storm but that's how I feel about Ren's music.. his stage performances when he makes a video.. And kudos to your camera man! He's amazing!
Couldn't agree more. As a 26 year old female born and raised in Spain, had a lot of good music influence from my parents thankfully but never got to have the pleasure to live in that era, but Ren makes up for it with such grace. 👌🏻
Just discovering Ren's music. So, so impressed, and absolutely love this. Great song, wonderful guitar and vocals, and such a lovely warm vibe in this video. Nice ❤
I am here because of Mary Spender - How lucky am I! Great music - Great Talent..it oozes out of everywhere on this video. Big Thanks ...from Australia.
Wow !!! Freakin brilliant Ren - you are soul . The feel of a small club , the wild breadth and range of your vocals and the Telecaster !!!!🎸💥🎸👏👏👏you are a sonic genius! The segues, the rap , the precision, the gorgeous backing vocals and musical support - smashing !!! Just sensational - stay true to YOUR soul and the needs of your dreams 👏👏👏👏👏🙏🎼🎼👍 thanks for sharing/posting
Hi Ren, I have only recently discovered your music and feel compelled to engage with you directly. I started to fall ill in my early forties and have now lived with a form of Dystonia for nearly twenty years, with confirmation only really coming recently via the discovery of a defective gene in my gene sequence. I wonder how much more we would know, how many more we could have helped, how much further to the stars we might be had those committed to research had the money those committed to creating wealth alone have. Music has also been my salvation through these past twenty years, playing my first festival at 50 being my greatest achievement, but it gets harder and harder to keep going. I understand you are unwell again at this moment in time. I am so sorry to hear this. I wish you well and sincerely hope that you will be up there aged 50, lifting people up and giving them hope, as you have me.
REN is truly a gift , you never know what you are going to get ! His music ability is impeccable, can’t wait to unwrap the next gift 🎁 love from Burlington Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
I love everything about this performance. It was so perfect. The singers, the bass guitarist. Thanks to Ren for his genius, and the fabulous film makers. ❤❤❤
I listen to a lot of soul and r&b mostly.from to 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s but this was amazing. Those girls , damn! And ren that singing voice ! Love it !
oh Ren... a beautiful soul you are x❤x. Britawards ceremony ?? havent been connected...were you at least invited...no recognition,,, wtF... unbelievable...Why not...jungle performance was that coincidence...this rendition no disrepect to Jungle is just amazing all the superlatives...def. unique...always deep, on point and from the heart. all the love Ren...people are missing something if they don't click ...akin to a rubix cube; in my head atm...any way bugger to the organisers...chop suey ; )
@@Thomas_Davies128 I really miss his older stuff. I feel like a lot of times when artists get famous they lose what made them so good. Not saying anything bad about him personally just his music seemed more raw when he was younger.
The greatest artists are those that can display versatility. From ‘Blind Eyed’ (my intro to you and Sam), to your rap, to reggae, to street, to studio, to mash-ups, to The Big Push. Damn dude, you are beyond talented and this video is versatility at its finest.
just caught the Nas shout out ! "The world is yours . That's a Nas shout out with an awkward pause". I've never seen anyone else catch that.😁 Amazing track!
Love this and can’t stop listening to it. Did anyone else notice this could have been filmed on location in Twin Peaks at the Lodge? I keep thinking Laura Palmer and Mike are there just off camera . 😂 This is my favorite mash up so far. I can’t wait for the next one !
Love how you lift up talent. These ladies and the bass player were great, and your vocals constantly get better (unbelievably). But the mixed voice w/ distortion that thins out into a straight head voice… I’ve never heard you do it so effectively. Also, it sounded to healthy. Great vibe, vocals, music, and location. Please consider collaborating w/ these musicians again :)
I think he’s gathering quite a volume of 50-something fans. I’ve been obsessed since I saw his viral Bittersweet Symphony. Can’t quite believe how versatile and multi skilled he is. Phenomenal.
I'm 67 and I lovevthe man. He's such a great artist. All brits should be very proud of what he's doing for the British music scene. But there is only one ren.
My 13 year old non verbal autistic daughter loves this. I look at her through the rear view mirror when we're driving. She tries to sing it. Definitely the cutest thing ever. I'm praying all the therapy and songs like this keep her trying. Keep kicking ass REN. You're doing a world of good.
Is there anything Ren cannot do? I sometimes sit and listen to his creations and wonder how many beings are manifest in this one human form??? Thank you for choosing to come back to this world to remind us what beauty really truly is. Everything of the creative force of the universe. 🙏
Just learned of REN from watching Jungle's BACK ON 74 video which I learned about from watching the GAP commercial so BIG THANK YOU to GAP then JUNGLE and now REN!!!!!
@nopepunx1981 yes I like sSting, but trust me, there is a lot more in this. The soulmate in the beginning, the rap in the Sting at the end. He is talented beyond anything that I have seen in my generation.
@@rickyfrost8352 he is very talented. I agree. I just like his own music. I get artists sample, but Ren sounds better doing his original stuff. In my personal opinion.
Since I was shown your music, I cannot stop listening. Your music is absolutely 💯 different and also very creative. From the Beats to the lyrics, I feel your creation 👍🏻🇵🇱 thanks for sharing all of your masterpieces with us! Stay Blessed!
This music has saved my life and helped me to rediscover the person I thought I lost not just that but it's given me the desire to expand and discover more of just who I can still become....also it is great for profiling people who I meet that just may not be on my level. Real time saver and potential for preventative maintenance as boundaries have been a huge theme in my life. Keeps out the riff Raff if played constantly around those certain types that may just not have the greatest intentions as often as they seem to feel it's necessary to constantly repeat ..... Thanks ren for being u. So thankful to be alive at this time to exist and be alive at the same time as the greatest artist alive is such an absolute highlight of my entire existence. Whether or not he's A I. I still couldn't have survived the last year with out this sexy and all around brave strong and down to earth one of a kind soul. Glad he's willing to allow us to be so involved in his journey. \m/=^_^= \m/
It is my hope that respect for you continues to grow and grow because you so deserve the recognition. What an absolute star you are Ren. Exquisite, engaging, exciting, eloquent, enticing, excellent. ❤
The independent music scene is absolutely killing it! People like Ren has made me excited about new music for the first time since the 90's. How dose he make you feel like its live... like you are with him every time! I only wish i could like the video every time I watch it.
the different genres of music that this man can touch is WILD. ive heard his marley, his rap, his nursery rhymes, his sea schantys, his rock and roll, his RNB, his jazz...this man has studied everything
The way you combined these to repurpose the messages and tie them all together with the present is fucking mind-blowing. Thank you for being so damn good at communicating an emotional perspective through music, it’s the closest I think we can get to magic. It changes people.

Kai is a vibe, I tell you!! Love him!!
I have hemroids that are cooler than that 😂
Used to rap for Peter Kay😆😆ruclips.net/video/U0optP8HoWo/видео.html
Found the Bassists mother :D
At this point Ren doesn’t just make music, Ren IS music.
Also…that shirt and tie 🥵 God Damn 🔥❤️
I second that 😍
Amen sis!!❤
🔥🔥🔥
😂❤
It was distracting lol
Money game part 3.1 - Jimmy realised he shouldn’t sell arms and drugs so he became a successfull singer
Jimmy had a really weird time line. He sold nuclear secrets way before he moved imports and exports out of Cuba, which just seemed like a little bit of a downgrade. Then decided to be a drug dealer for some bizarre reason. He just kept going backwards so it makes sense that he just gravitated to singer / songwriter after the gun misfired in the rain. Let's hope he has gotten therapy for the life long issues he had with his father.
😂Man I can't wait to watch this again!!
What a character arc and origin story lol 😂
Pretty sure the drugs were there all along and he just got into selling em after failing at other things.
Be more like jimmy
I'm 48, I've been just annoyed by most music since the 90s. Almost everything I here by you gives me chills. You are a true artist, I do appreciate what you have done for my care of the next generation of music. Even if they all suck I could happily just loose myself in your works. Truly, thank you
Absolutely love it. Brilliant Ren
I’m starting to suspect that if someone were to record Ren asleep in bed and snoring that it would still be musically brilliant.
Perfect rhythmic snores 😂
Someone please do this
Your comment made me laugh out loud. 😂 Funny coz it’s probably true. 🫶🫶
Even funnier, because somehow we KNOW he snores. maybe I've come across him mentioning, but I doubt it.
I know he snores. Not always, but often.
I feel that in many ways The Ren Snore concept album would change music as we know it, opening whole new understanding of natural rhythm and sounds (at least to most English speakers)
Best way to keep ahead of AI music, is to embrace all our perfect human "imperfections" - the more I laugh at this idea the more it makes sense. Nothing more vulnerable and human than our snores😅😂❤ @@sheryljones589
Ok, I'll do it, lol
64 yo Renegade here, I think this is my favorite but I say that every time he drops a new song. Magnificent job Ren. You are the artist I’ve been waiting 30 years for! ❤
Me too I'm 67. Love the man.
Me too. 67 👍🏴
@@susanwearn2617 me too ! Renegades 🇬🇧💜
I hope you never lose your Brighton roots... I used to spend every weekend down there when I lived Hastings a few years back. You are an amazing artist and person. Much love!
I absolutely love how Ren makes each and every artist here have their shinning moment feel just as big and special a part of the songs as REN’s himself is. Like you can just see the joy and happiness on his face when the other artists take over to do a small bit in the song ….. I love that. Ren you are the sweetest and most special guy around !
I am yet another grownup (65 years) being happy, being able to be excited over music again. Ren is a true genius. He is only about 30. He has been seriously ill for more than half of that time. But still he is as good or even better and talented as many of the seasoned musicians. His lyrics are outer- and/or otherworldly and his videos are truely mesmerrising. All in all Ren is just pure magic, true Art on a totaly new level. I am for the first time since a very long time truely exited.
Thank you REN, I whish you all the best in your life and with your music.
I know you had a fallback with your health, so take care and get well soon
Absolutely just the best… I am an old boy now but when you stumble accidentally across talent like this it’s life affirming… love it…
Shoutout to Kujo on bass! Multi talented, nice to see.
Funny! 😂 For those who don´t know: Kai, the bassist and Ren´s good friend, plays Kujo in Kujo Beat Down. Poor guy...🙂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LMAO! (...so confused for a fraction of a second)
LMAO
62 here. In an age where cynicism is by far the most rational response, Ren you give me hope...
Man, I just can’t ever get tired of this….. its so good I can’t even talk about it…just the timing of everyone is ridiculous….. everything is absolutely on a another level… thank you Ren and all of you for this. God Bless.🌻🫶🏽❤️
Just wanna say I have followed you for a while now and I have to say no matter what type of genre you sing you absolutely kill it (for me anyways) but the thing that tops it off for me is you always have your own twist in the song your singing and I love it keep it up pal and stay strong 💪
This is such perfection my soul is feverish. My lord. The vibe makes me want a retake of Nina Simone’s “Feelin’ Good”and The Police’s “King of Pain.” I can hear it in my dreams….
As cool as Bar Valentino already was, now it’s iconic. Brilliant, sir. Kudos to the whole quartet.
You’re an absolute genius and hands down one of the best musicians out right now.
Naughty that 👌You smooth bastard. Keep it going lad
I'm 3283 years old. We were talking about Ren while waiting for the red sea to part
Hah yep ppl like to out themselves
Great retro vibe this ~ can attest having graduated high school at 17 in 74
I’ve noticed that too!
I was about to say, "I'm 65, and Ren is the greatest artist I've seen in decades, blah blah blah..." but you've got me beat by 3215 years. 😧
First time hearing this guy... and wow! Just going through his back catalogue now. Lyrically, musically so talented. So good to find this amongst So much throwaway music nowadays x❤
This was the perfect introduction! So excited for your Ren journey, I see it's been around a month, now.. Man, what a ride you're on!! Sit back, seat belt on and enjoy! :)
(Wife speaking) I am a 38 year old woman, living in Idaho. I wasn't alive to see The Beatles take the world by storm but that's how I feel about Ren's music.. his stage performances when he makes a video.. And kudos to your camera man! He's amazing!
Couldn't agree more. As a 26 year old female born and raised in Spain, had a lot of good music influence from my parents thankfully but never got to have the pleasure to live in that era, but Ren makes up for it with such grace. 👌🏻
I feel it too.. 40, here and feel like I'm witnessing musical history. Something very special and HUGE is unfolding w/Ren... It's beyond exciting:)
Just discovering Ren's music. So, so impressed, and absolutely love this. Great song, wonderful guitar and vocals, and such a lovely warm vibe in this video. Nice ❤
I am here because of Mary Spender - How lucky am I! Great music - Great Talent..it oozes out of everywhere on this video. Big Thanks ...from Australia.
Wow !!! Freakin brilliant Ren - you are soul . The feel of a small club , the wild breadth and range of your vocals and the Telecaster !!!!🎸💥🎸👏👏👏you are a sonic genius! The segues, the rap , the precision, the gorgeous backing vocals and musical support - smashing !!! Just sensational - stay true to YOUR soul and the needs of your dreams 👏👏👏👏👏🙏🎼🎼👍 thanks for sharing/posting
Hi Ren, I have only recently discovered your music and feel compelled to engage with you directly.
I started to fall ill in my early forties and have now lived with a form of Dystonia for nearly twenty years, with confirmation only really coming recently via the discovery of a defective gene in my gene sequence.
I wonder how much more we would know, how many more we could have helped, how much further to the stars we might be had those committed to research had the money those committed to creating wealth alone have.
Music has also been my salvation through these past twenty years, playing my first festival at 50 being my greatest achievement, but it gets harder and harder to keep going.
I understand you are unwell again at this moment in time. I am so sorry to hear this. I wish you well and sincerely hope that you will be up there aged 50, lifting people up and giving them hope, as you have me.
REN is truly a gift , you never know what you are going to get ! His music ability is impeccable, can’t wait to unwrap the next gift 🎁 love from Burlington Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Beautifully done y’all.
Cerebral and sexy vibes.
Thanks for sharing your gifts.
Peace love and blessings 💫
Just discovered this guy. Same feeling I got when I first saw Purple Rain back in the day!
I'm 64 years young and this piece of music took me back and made feel like I was a teenager again, TY Ren.x
I love everything about this performance. It was so perfect. The singers, the bass guitarist. Thanks to Ren for his genius, and the fabulous film makers. ❤❤❤
I listen to a lot of soul and r&b mostly.from to 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s but this was amazing. Those girls , damn! And ren that singing voice ! Love it !
oh Ren... a beautiful soul you are x❤x. Britawards ceremony ?? havent been connected...were you at least invited...no recognition,,, wtF... unbelievable...Why not...jungle performance was that coincidence...this rendition no disrepect to Jungle is just amazing all the superlatives...def. unique...always deep, on point and from the heart. all the love Ren...people are missing something if they don't click ...akin to a rubix cube; in my head atm...any way bugger to the organisers...chop suey ; )
Why has it taken me until now to find this utterly outstanding artist?
People find REN, when most needed! Check out his band, The Big Push, I shot the sheriff, road to Zion, rap. They’re on the streets in Brighton UK.
The most talented artist alive …….. period.
The police is alive and he’s copying them. They’re still alive
That's a lot to say about someone. Not true, but good none the less
@@nopepunx1981I listened to so many different artists. And I think that Ren may be the best currently. Not of all time, but right now, definitely.
Best arranger of pop music alive - Andrew Lloyd Webber vibes + George Gershwin virtuosity.
@@Thomas_Davies128 I really miss his older stuff. I feel like a lot of times when artists get famous they lose what made them so good. Not saying anything bad about him personally just his music seemed more raw when he was younger.
The greatest artists are those that can display versatility. From ‘Blind Eyed’ (my intro to you and Sam), to your rap, to reggae, to street, to studio, to mash-ups, to The Big Push. Damn dude, you are beyond talented and this video is versatility at its finest.
Soooo nice! Musicianship giving a nod back to the earlier musicians, love your music and your grit Ren!
Amazing …… big up from
Western Australia ….. when you finally do your global tour please come to the west !!!
So good. I‘m a 49 years Old German and i love all of the Ren Stuff
just caught the Nas shout out ! "The world is yours . That's a Nas shout out with an awkward pause". I've never seen anyone else catch that.😁 Amazing track!
Love this and can’t stop listening to it.
Did anyone else notice this could have been filmed on location in Twin Peaks at the Lodge? I keep thinking Laura Palmer and Mike are there just off camera . 😂
This is my favorite mash up so far. I can’t wait for the next one !
Just come across this n its an ABSOLUTE banger.
So chilled n relaxed smashing bangers out WOW, GET A CHART HIT OUT
Love how you lift up talent. These ladies and the bass player were great, and your vocals constantly get better (unbelievably). But the mixed voice w/ distortion that thins out into a straight head voice… I’ve never heard you do it so effectively. Also, it sounded to healthy. Great vibe, vocals, music, and location. Please consider collaborating w/ these musicians again :)
Thanks ren I am old enough to remember the 70s well. You always drag me back from the dark
Hope your well.❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏴
Dude this is like buttery smooth. You are truly so unique keep on keeping on my guy
the message in the bottle is one of the best covers i ever heard! i need the whole version!
My heart can't cope with this. Big fkin massive love and goosebumps and pure true love.
I think he’s gathering quite a volume of 50-something fans. I’ve been obsessed since I saw his viral Bittersweet Symphony. Can’t quite believe how versatile and multi skilled he is. Phenomenal.
I'm 64 and listen to him every chance I get.
I'm 67 and I lovevthe man. He's such a great artist. All brits should be very proud of what he's doing for the British music scene. But there is only one ren.
My 13 year old non verbal autistic daughter loves this. I look at her through the rear view mirror when we're driving. She tries to sing it. Definitely the cutest thing ever. I'm praying all the therapy and songs like this keep her trying. Keep kicking ass REN. You're doing a world of good.
This is beautiful! Makes my heart happy :) I'll be praying, too...
🥰
Is there anything Ren cannot do? I sometimes sit and listen to his creations and wonder how many beings are manifest in this one human form??? Thank you for choosing to come back to this world to remind us what beauty really truly is. Everything of the creative force of the universe. 🙏
Ren Does it AGAIN......cant lose with this intelligent Savant.
Just learned of REN from watching Jungle's BACK ON 74 video which I learned about from watching the GAP commercial so BIG THANK YOU to GAP then JUNGLE and now REN!!!!!
Listened to every song of his on Spotify over the weekend. Now Im watching these fantastic music videos and I am OBSESSED ❤❤
Everything about this is so polished and perfect. Gawwwd I love this performance. ❤❤❤
Can’t get enough of this. Even more appreciation of it after watching the BTS on REN’s Patreon. Mind blowing!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank fuck for youtube for giving us the chance to stumble across ren. Blown everyone away yet again. Respect Ren. Thankyou again.
I stumbled across him through tiktok. It's a shame they're gonna take that away from us.
I feel like I have just had my brain massaged, This is one of the best arrangements I've heard, the switches are seemless. Beautiful!!!
That's exactly how I'm feeling about this.....I just wouldn't have ever been able to put it into your very words!!!!😉
I thought the same!
So you like Sting? That's all this was for me except Ren is hotter than Sting. Boomer music
@nopepunx1981 yes I like sSting, but trust me, there is a lot more in this. The soulmate in the beginning, the rap in the Sting at the end. He is talented beyond anything that I have seen in my generation.
@@rickyfrost8352 he is very talented. I agree. I just like his own music. I get artists sample, but Ren sounds better doing his original stuff. In my personal opinion.
Since I was shown your music, I cannot stop listening. Your music is absolutely 💯 different and also very creative. From the Beats to the lyrics, I feel your creation 👍🏻🇵🇱 thanks for sharing all of your masterpieces with us! Stay Blessed!
This music has saved my life and helped me to rediscover the person I thought I lost not just that but it's given me the desire to expand and discover more of just who I can still become....also it is great for profiling people who I meet that just may not be on my level. Real time saver and potential for preventative maintenance as boundaries have been a huge theme in my life. Keeps out the riff Raff if played constantly around those certain types that may just not have the greatest intentions as often as they seem to feel it's necessary to constantly repeat ..... Thanks ren for being u. So thankful to be alive at this time to exist and be alive at the same time as the greatest artist alive is such an absolute highlight of my entire existence. Whether or not he's A I. I still couldn't have survived the last year with out this sexy and all around brave strong and down to earth one of a kind soul. Glad he's willing to allow us to be so involved in his journey. \m/=^_^= \m/
💯
Can we please get this on Spotify Ren!?!
Yes i agree with you i need this on spotify!!!!!!!!
It is my hope that respect for you continues to grow and grow because you so deserve the recognition. What an absolute star you are Ren. Exquisite, engaging, exciting, eloquent, enticing, excellent. ❤
This guy is immensely talented. Keep it going brother. You are on your way!
Always surprising, always amazing. Keep rocking it REN!😊
When I thought Ren couldn't get any better, he wears a white shirt, slightly undone, singing his latest genre,'Husky soul'. 🤣❤
Listening to this on constant repeat because it deserves the views. You are insanely talented with everything you do.
Been doing the same thing... 1 million views finally!! :):)
I'm in love, addicted, flabbergasted and speechless... ❤
The independent music scene is absolutely killing it! People like Ren has made me excited about new music for the first time since the 90's. How dose he make you feel like its live... like you are with him every time! I only wish i could like the video every time I watch it.
A longer version of message In a bottle please you where killing it
the different genres of music that this man can touch is WILD. ive heard his marley, his rap, his nursery rhymes, his sea schantys, his rock and roll, his RNB, his jazz...this man has studied everything
What a vocal range! And what beautiful backup singers, angelic voices all around ❤ beautiful harmony... and the bassist crushed it 🎵👌
The way you combined these to repurpose the messages and tie them all together with the present is fucking mind-blowing. Thank you for being so damn good at communicating an emotional perspective through music, it’s the closest I think we can get to magic. It changes people.
