Love your reactions mate. When you and Black P were watching Violets tale, the sheer joy / awe / amazement you showed was so heartwarming 👊
Couldnt agree more mate 👊
It's why I am here!
I’m very glad I found your channel. I like when reactors have a good foundation to give their prospective. Yours is very good. I love that your attention goes to Sam. It is well deserved and it’s usually all about Ren.
I'm glad u found my channel too😉👌🏽 I'm going to continue giving my videographer pov on these reactions
@@joeesparks7 videographer pov is what I like.😀
Except this isn’t Sam. Credit to Luke Flegg.
@@CreativePhotoWS yes, we all spoke on it. I found out thru my guy BP interview with Ren that animal flow was by someone else. Still giving massive kudos to Ren for wanting one takes as part of his thing so we all get to see awesome vids👊🏽💯
@@CreativePhotoWS yes props to Luke Flegg
Ren pulled this together at his friend’s apartment. The extras were friends willing to spend hours as they tried to get a good one-take shot. This one had so many moving parts and complications! But the flow is incredible. I also love the final backlit shot from the headlights!
I also love the thought Ren put behind the video concept. Definitely influenced by Orwell’s Animal Farm (with the writing on the walls in the first scene). But also influenced by Kubrick, Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Eyes Wide Shut, etc. And top it off with a little Willy Wonka 😼 It adds another layer to the song interpretation!
You should also watch the live acoustic version … very different feel.
I’m really enjoying your reactions! It’s a fun rabbit hole to explore 🕳️🐇 Lots of gems 💎
I love how Ren describe how he approached this video's concept during his interview with Knox, how he looks at each song with both a wider, macro overview, but then comes in to flesh out the detailed intricacies that make his work so distinctively 'Ren'. Also, just as he's able to make his guitar almost like an extension of his own self, he wields the same magic touch with 'Animal Flow', but instead largely driven by his beatboxing. Just an amazingly talented gift to us all. 😊
Great reaction to a great song bro. Ren said he bought like 200 animal masks from Amazon. Got a bunch of friends and friends of friends and shot this masterpiece. The attention to detail and the fact that they were able to even get one clean shot all the way thru is amazing. Plus thinking about Ren and some of the others that had to probably run from one spot while the camera wasn't on him briefly to get set up for the next shot. Id love to see the BTS for this one. After the ladies drag him off we see the kitties and the camera spins goes back out the same door and the sheep is waiting🤌🤌🤌perfection
LOL, I love that he posted that they definitely didn't do a one AM garden raid through town to make his friend's living room into a jungle with plants and packing tape😂
@@clarissathompson Perish the thought! "Who? Me, officer? Nope, your witness must be mistaken." 😇
@@GneasYTC 😂😂😂
Dude, 8.6. is Ren's new song drop time...
6.8 in the US
8.6 in the UK 😉
Just reacted to it!!!!
Oh yay! Thanks for doing this one Joe E, I love your perspective as someone who specializes in this type of creation! Definitely more Ren my friend! Have a great day!
so glad BP brought you in -i really get literal joy from watching you react to these videos. there's this great balance of hearing your perspective as a professional, and also just getting to watch you repeatedly put your hand over your heart because that expresses your feeling better than words. you are a great addition to the reaction world and the ren corner of it. and you seem like a pure, creative soul. looking forward to more from you. :)
Thank u Feathers...I'm glad u are enjoying the reactions. I'm even more happy when ppl notice my hand over my heart...to me it says more than I could in that moment, ya know! Ty again
Heck ya! 👍👌
@@joeesparks7 oh we notice & it's a great way of expressing your heartfelt reaction!
Ren is just something special, isn’t he? Love seeing your excitement as you’re journeying down the Ren rabbit hole. The videos for The Hunger and Genesis are one takes too. And other ones. Even when not one takes his videos are still something special. He pours creativity and passion into everything he does.
Bittersweet symphone is also a great onetake video
@@Stiijn1990 Not quite - there are a couple of cuts.
But they were working with very severe time constraints, they had to have the sun in more or less that position to make sense with the lyrics.
And - it being Britain - they couldn't rely on having *any* sun the next day! 🤣
So they didn't have time to do the usual 168 takes to get it 'perfect'. Mind you, I think it's perfect as it is.
@@GneasYTC ow sorry, i was very much under the assumption it was a one take, my bad 😅
@@Stiijn1990 Apologies, I did not mean to sound critical, you have no reason to be sorry.
It's just that I've been having so much fun on this Ren reactions roller coaster ride, learning new stuff every day.
I love to get different perspectives on the videos, and some of the reactors I'm following are videographers/directors/camera people and so on, and that's a whole new area of fascination for me these days.
If you had asked me a couple of months ago about a 'one-take video', I'd have responded "The what, now?" 🤣
So the thought about the time-constraints they had on Bittersweet Symphony literally just popped into my head when I read your comment.
My mind went something like "Nope, I saw a few cuts... wait, why *did* they have cuts? Ren is a madman for the one-take thing.. oh, the sun is just up, the song is all about him going home after a night on the lash.. that's it. They were stuck for time, they *couldn't* do their usual insane number of takes. Therefore they were forced to have a few cuts. Man, I'm a genius!".
Yeah, something like that... 🤣
I knew this reaction would be awesome, and you didn't disappoint. That beat is so compelling. My ears just love it. 🎉 ...I subbed after your first reaction with BP, but so glad to see you doing your own reactions as well as your personal artistic pursuits. ❤
Thank u Wendy...I've always wanted to but hadn't been inspired like this til Ren🤷🏾
I love it how Ren just shows up somewhere else magically like he the heck did he get over there in a one take?
I know, but I love it!!!!
Yes, please keep reacting to REN because your perspective is so valuable! We know his 1-takes are special but you can really speak to how challenging they are to produce and your appreciation is catching.
Awesome reaction bro , such passion for your craft !
Ren has unreal talent, and you give it the justice he deserves.
Looking forward to this one - what a treat - your reaction to AF and then an hour later Ren drops his latest track! Id better get the beers & 🍿 in lol
🍻
What did u think of Su!cide?
@@joeesparks7 I truly Love it - from the melody, the beat, the lyrics, the visuals, and that it's "back" to the unique Ren style I first discovered. (It's similar to Diazepam, another favourite). What I especially love is how it has opened up discussions and conversations that needs to be talked about more - it shouldn't be something that has to be hidden (Ren had to change the wording in the title several times in an attempt to get it through YT censorship for example) because the contemplation of it is everywhere - so many people are in that dark place- I've been there myself as well as my Dad took his life when I was 10. What's stopped me is knowing the long term pain that would cause to those left behind and the 2nd part of this track shows that so clearly. I feel sure by Ren writing this and the discussions that will be had, people opening up etc, it Will help save lives
I'd love to know the layout of that building, just to get an idea of how these participants moved about off camera to adjust their positions. The white dog on the stairs for example was in the first room. The black lagoon creature in the bath was one of the ones grabbing Ren later I think. So well done. There is so much going on behind the scenes that a lot of people probably don't even consider when watching this!
Ren and Sam are perfectionists. They really want their pieces of Art to be remembered in decades to come. If it takes them 100 times they are happy to do whatever is required...all in the name of ART!! I wish them well, and hope they get their Netflix special out.
They deserve to reap the rewards of all their hard work and commitment....for bringing some fresh new performances to a really predictable and boring market.
Please continue with the Ren reactions Joe E 👍. If you want something a little different, then I think you would love the unconventional filming of Losing it (Fisher retake). It looks like they may have filmed it on something like an Insta360 with a fish eye lens.
Also there is a live street performance version of the Jenny and screech trilogy with a huge organised audience. Again, this one is filmed in proper 360, but if you watch it on a 360 enabled device like a phone or iPad, you can spin your device round and view anywhere such as the crowd or Ren. It’s really cool.
AbsoF'nlutely keep on the Ren train. Great reaction, I expected you to delve much deeper into the insane amount of nuance in the shooting of this video. A much more analytical breakdown of not only the visual concept/content but also the techniques used to produce them would be awesome coming from someone steeped in the knowledge and craft. Ren also said that there are loads of Easter eggs, not so much hidden but rather subtly slipped in and to watch you find the ones we fans already have and likely more that we have missed would also help to knit us, your viewers and subscribers and you into the community you are developing.
Great video my brother and new Ren lover.
Big ups from Humboldt County.
Yeah, I'd love a really deep breakdown from that point of view. Videographer/cinematographer reactors are rare as hens' teeth, the more detail the better.
I love learning all this new stuff from people who know what they are talking about. It helps me appreciate what I'm watching even more.
For example, one reactor mentioned how good the 'focus puller' was on one of Ren's videos.
That led to a whole night's entertainment for me - reading up on what the heck a 'focus puller' was.
I had *no idea* how much went on quietly in the background of a shoot before that.
I always just assumed the camera operator fiddled with the focus as they went along. 🤷♂🤣
I knew you would like this one. The Actors are all friends and friends of friends. They were amazing they all worked through the night-188 takes until they got the one they wanted. Amazing! Great reaction. I agree you bring so much joy to your reactions.❤
This video was shot in one night. All those people were either friend or friends of friends. Low budget no paid actors. It's great
I got a chance to get the back story and man, when creativity calls, there's nothing that can stop him!
Oh heck yeah.
I am SO here for THIS one.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy
If Ren drops his new video at the same time. Sorry to say you will have to wait.
Totally get it, no worries lol...BTW, my reaction to his new one drops 2mrw
Ren-Right Here, Right Now Retake--1 take that doesn't disappoint 👍
Loving your reactions to Ren....would of been great for you too do the live acoustic version straight after this one❤
I was thinking the same thing!!
Me too!!
Agreed. And it's different enough to be worth a second reaction.
Really enjoyed your reaction and thoughts on the video!
Ren posted a description of making this video under his RUclips Community tab that you'd probably be interested in reading. It's about a month back, and has a thumbnail of one of the dogs playing cards.
Looking forward to your future reactions! I think Ren inspires all of us in a variety of ways. I'm a nurse and a novelist, and he makes me think in new ways about the experiences of my patients, and about the craft of writing.
That's so dope Salish...I love how art inspires🙏🏽❤️
"It's a long way down into the rabbit hole, Alice" -Ren; Hell yeah man, I will watch you go through the Ren Rabbit hole for sure, maybe even check out some of his fellow artist; Romain, Sam, and Chinchilla as well. I don't think you will be disappointed!
You may want to do a live one.
Claudinha...u might be onto something
Let’s go down the Ren rabbit hole
Let's gooo!!!
According to a comment from someone who is local, when Ren walks out at the end he's right across the way from where they filmed the busking video you saw of him and Sam. This isn't up in the hills on a set, it's all happening in the same little neighborhood. It's just Ren and his friends - no extras, no production crew. Ren just invited his friends and threw a party.
Yup I'm hearing that same very thing Justin...super cool ya know
This video was so well done and I heard Ren said it was just a bunch of his friends that helped him do it, no hired actors. It took them about 9 hours to set up and shoot the whole video. He and his friends doing the camera work are just so talented.
Followed you from BP 😊 Glad I did! I dare you NOT to go down that rabbit hole. I was a 72-year old rap despiser before discovering Ren. He is a genius. How lucky we are to be alive for this ❤
Still love that where the camera transitions between rooms they go for the constantly changing angle to highlight they arent using the door frames and wall edges as cut points
Please... look into his older work! He's a lyrical genious... you'll see that plainly and simply a Gifted artist!!!
I LOVE your pacing and insight. You’re the first to see comment on the head in the cage in the kitchen. It’s actually the Ren head from a picture cover of a recent released song
Love your reaction..you made me smile all the way through...How you get giddy 😅.. Absolutely LOVED your reaction to 'Jenny & Screech' with BP..So you have a new sub now! BTW Ren's 'Suicide' just knocked me sideways! Totally different.. again.😢
Thanks again Kat! I really appreciate those like yourself making genuine strides to building a relationship with me on this channel...it doesn't go unnoticed 👊🏽💯
Yes, more Ren please! Love your insights into the videos. It’s great to hear that perspective!
I’m here to stay; your surprised and blown-away cognition because of Ren…..we all had the same feelings from the first song we saw him performing,any of his creations are absolutely out of this planet ❤
Amen Tina...I sometimes have to remind myself when my jaw is on the ground...that yalls was too first time🤣🤣🤣 thanks again!!!
Heck yeah, more Ren. This is a generational artist/talent moment
I love watching specialists in different fields react to REN’s songs/ videos.
I just know that the songs and videos are the greatest that I have ever experienced but I don’t know exactly why until people like you explain the complexity of it all.
I have seen so many professionals talking about how Ren inspires and energies them. I think that is one of the best things to come out of these reactions. It’s exciting watching this all morph and grow in so many ways & in so many directions
Great to hear from someone who understands how difficult these amazing pieces of art are to create. Good job Joey!
Love this! I love this community! It's so fun learning about all of the different aspects of the artists involved in Ren's music. It's even more fun sharing it with cool nice people. Thanks for the live chat!
Your words at the end, I love so much. It’s inspiring. I have lost count of the number of people that have reacted to REN that have said those very words. It is so beautiful how his art inspires so many people. You can see the excitement in their faces. I love to watch your reactions as it is a different perspective for me. 😊
First thing that I must say is Thank you for your thorough reaction to Ren's talent and genius. I love to watch your facial expressions while watching the different scenes. I am passionate whenever it comes to explaining just how phenomenal Ren and Sam are when it comes to filming the videos. Like me, you can't help but move your body to the music. You are completely connected with the music, the little details that many people miss. You are a blessing to me. I feel like I understand the passion you bring to your videos. You have a fan for life, my friend. Love your work. You are an inspiration to me. I hope you realize the genius you possess when it comes to your video reactions.
Right here, right now is a fun easy one take.
Love to see people inspired. Let's see what you can do with it.
Ok, that filming location was an apartment above a restaurant called The ivy in brighton. Which is where they film most of the big push busking videos.. and where Ren and Sam often would sing together. The place used to be an old post office so I imagine it has lots of weird rooms.
He chose it was his friend had recently rented it from another friend and Ren thought the hallway had big Kubrick vibes, hence his attire..
Thanks for the insider scoop my g
You are in for a very special treat Sir. Ren is remarkable...
I know it’s only a small detail but the part at 7:26 when they’re coming down the stairs there’s a massive mirror hanging on the wall, and they’re still able to continue the one shot - without seeing the cameraman - but still seeing all the other extras and details in the background of the shot to give it a genuine Full feel…
Yeah man I’m loving your reactions. I like how you talk just as much / if not more about the videos which is your expertise - rather than breaking down lyrics and bars, which you do touch on. There’s MANY other reactors talking about songs, lyrics and meaning etc, but hardly anyone talking in detail about the visual accompaniment which can quite often (and especially with Ren) add much more to the experience.
I’d love you to watch and talk about Chalk outlines - Ren and Chinchilla - a very simple but beautiful song and video.
Peace out Bro and check you on the next one 🫡
Beginning always gave me a wooly wonka vibe
I didn't even think of that but u right!
Great reaction. Ren doesn't miss so this is going to be a fun ride.
I love getting a videographer's viewpoint of Ren and Sam's brilliant artistry! Props to you, Joe! Thanks for your insight! You caught so much of what they did...and more importantly WHY they did it! All the way to the headlamps black-lighting to end it. Bravo 👏 👏 👏
Your reactions are on point. Great job Black Pegasus be proud. 🎉👍👋✌️💯
Thank u Raymond. And I have to thank BP...he is the man!
This was filmed in his friend's apartment/block. He had about 80 friends involved, no professionals. It took 9 hours to shoot, from 7 pm to 4 am. The location is opposite where he has done a lot of live performances with The Big Push and Sam Tompkins. The backlighting came from the headlights one of his friend's cars. Up until now he has a self-imposed budget limit of £1K ($1.27K) per video
Fantastic reaction! Knew you would enjoy this one!
Thank you for watching Alexia
On the road to 2k subscribers twelve days ago and with Ren reactions it is at almost 6.5k now. I love how the Ren community helps support smaller channels that produce good videos.
Love your heartfelt reaction on the Black pegasus - Ren reaction
Yeah the level of creativity Ren has is out of this world. I am rooting for him so much, he deserves all the fame and 👏👏 out there. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much for reacting to his art.
Same here !!!
Ren does an acoustic version of this, just him, his guitar, riding on a bus. It's amazing. This one is very visual but that one is all Ren. They did this video in his friends apartment building. Ren said it took hours and hours.... you have to wonder what the neighbours thought...lol.
OMG I have watched this loads of times and never noticed the head I thought it was somebody watching the butcher!!
Yay, I am really glad you covered this video. Your reaction was exactly what I needed. 💜
You're the first reactor to spot the head in the cage. I only knew it was there because Ren talked about it on Twitch!!
I would love to see your reaction to Chalk Outlines. It's so beautiful. Make sure to find the live version!
It's on my list
Now you have to watch acoustic version filmed on the back of a bus!
It's on my list!!! This song in acoustic guitar would be so dope
And I’ll bet you thought we were hyping it up for no reason 😂😂😂
The thing is he is doing so much of this on a small budget and a few good friends. He normally is the one to overspend on the videos. Now this one is more than the others. But the parts are played by friends in those huge animal heads. But his so humble and honest. For the interviews so very real as a person.
It is really hard for me to believe that its been 2 or 3 months and has exploded!!! And I am hoping he stays true to himself. Great talent and grateful to be on the REN RABBIT HOLE. ❤
Great reaction mate :) Its nice to hear from someone who can appreciate the video side of the song too!
All the extras are his mates and mate of mates - they ended up filming for like 8hr or something- i remember him thanking them all for hanging in till late when they got the completed 1 take.
Loving your Ren journey! The Cats ultra talented!!! Multi instrumentalist and genre defying dude who still surprises me!! Wow
I super enjoy you Joe yes please keep going on REN ✨🎶it’s magic 💫 have a super good day until next time 😉✌🏽
You have to see "losing it"!
REN🐇⚫️
Loved seeing your technical perspective on this from the lighting, pacing and camera work! Gives a whole new appreciation for the video 🙌🙏 The amount of detail Ren put into this down to the classic “Dogs playing poker” matching the painting of Dogs playing poker is just incredible and I love that so much!
Love your reactions man. 🏴 your passion for it comes through in spades!!
Nice take on this. Ren has historically worked on a pretty tight budget, if I recall correctly Hi-Ren was shot for under a grand or around 1300 bucks and the audio version of Animal flow probably was the cost of 4 bus tickets😂
I suspect with the traction he’s getting now, his budgetary restraints will be lifted considerably.
The Journey Continues! - Metronome!
Metronome gang!!!! Ty for watching
This one was insane. It was filmed in the flat of a friend of Ren's right across from the location Ren and The Big Push busking at frequently. All the actors were friends and friend-adjacent.
One of the best, and probably unplanned?, parts is that the Creature from the Black Lagoon is in the tub. The creature's nickname is "The Gill Man". Ren's last name is Gill.
Another thing about Ren he is therapy for so many with his Hi Ren song and as you said he inspires you so in theory or practice he is also a teacher. All the best with your Ren journey and your channel
great reaction and the word you were looking for at the beginning is metronome. losing it is a great retake on a fisher beat. im sure you'll really enjoy it
I really enjoy your comments, especially those from the videographer point of view. It is unique, and you’re fulsome in your appreciation of Ren.
My favourite part is when the gorilla goes crazy. She killed it there. 🔥
Oh man, at the bottom of the stairs...HELL YEAH, his bats were hitting so hard and she was going....APE shit(😉😉) I loved that part too👊🏽💯
Major props! Camera rolling while timing cues while navigating stairs while keeping focus..... how does the camera person even do this????
Well living here in Japan and seeing the notify me saying 3am. I will have to wait till I wake up to watch it. 😂😂👊
Love it bro! At the end when you talk about people getting on someone talking shit-I hate to use the words “cult following” but only to use as emphasis, people who have their hardcore fans are the BEST(or worst if you are the offender). Ren has no shortage of dedicated fans who are helpful when you have a question, Johnny on the Spot if you want something to react to next, and will absolutely defend him with the ferocity of a mother bear protecting a cub. His talent is so rare with his legendary compassion for others and appreciation for his fans. A true treasure that is often unappreciated. Sam is possibly the only person who might be more under appreciated but we are changing that! Thanks PLEASE keep doing these reactions. Please. I won’t write a novella in the comments next time I just had to get that out.
No Chris if u want to write long comments...I won't say no! And ur right aboit fan bases...can go both ways!! Ty again
Definitely keep falling down that Ren rabbit hole. I love watching each individual’s takes on everything. With you coming from a videographer’s perspective you have a real unique insight to what’s going on.
Watching this waiting for Ren to drop his new music. 🌹🔥❤️
And losing it by Ren will blow your mind 🔥
Hey Joe E, thanks for great reaction to #ANIMALFLOW. Love seeing it through your eyes. Looking forward to the next one. #REN
I'm here from Ren/B.P.,second addition to my subs after Ian Taylor :) As you have seen Genesis there is an acoustic version where he does the beat himself,absolute fire
Great reaction lol, thank you 👍🙏🐊🦉
Loving your reaction from over the pond. Please keep going down the Ren and The Big push’s Rabbit hole. There’s no going back now😂
More Ren for sure !
Amen
Finally got round to come back for commenting after I was understandably sidetracked with Ren's latest release just dropped straight after...
I like how you said you're hoping to get to 2k subs and you're already over 3k just 12 hours later😃 Congrats!
Animal Flow is a visual feast and there's a Lot to take in, especially when hearing the music for the first time too (if you listen with headphones you hear even more as there's detail & layers in the beats he produces too). Yep, you got the Metronome movement of the cane at the beginning. Great you noticed the head in the birdcage - did you notice it actually swings in time to the beat? For most people that would just be a lucky coincidence but as you get to see more of Ren & Sam's videos you'll understand that was more likely also a deliberate intricate attention to detail. The dogs playing poker for example was a reconstruction of a famous painting - right down to the same shaped red lampshade as in the painting. Numerous film references in there eg The Shining, and the scene at end with the headlights and Ren walking with a slight limp was a nod to A Clockwork Orange but also Willy Wonka. I like how you noticed the light on Ren's shoulder highlighting him - something I wouldn't have noticed and didn't know there was a term for it - these are the extra details that you bring that other reactors can't as its not their specialty. The writing on the wall if you watch again is the 7 Commandments from George Orwell's Animal Farm where (if you don't know) the animals take over the farm but then end up behaving just like humans and the commandment "All Animals are Equal" gets changed to "but some are more equal than others". When Ren sings about the King's illegitimate crown, King Charles was officially crowned 2 days before Ren released the track...
Love how this has inspired you (Ren is the God for inspiring people in a myriad of ways!) to step out of your safety zone when making videos - what I'd really love to see is an interview / discussion with Samuel Perry-Falvey, Ren's videographer and maybe discussing in detail how he (& Ren) bring Ren's music to life. I know that every single thing we see in the videos is both meticulous and deliberate from timing to lighting to reverb, the locations they choose (on Ren's YT community tab he gave a brilliant account of how they got the location for Illest of Our Time (please react to that one! ) and all the difficulties they had to overcome including junkies trying to nick the equipment to sell on for drugs lol.
More Ren definitely!
My understanding is most of the people involved in the video were Ren’s mates.
Yup...Ren is mesmerizing at what his doing ! Great reaction ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hell yea brother Sparks! Keep going down the Ren rabbit hole. Love your perspective from a man behind the camera. Sam deserves a lot of love too
Loved your reaction! Very insightful and enthusiastic. The backstory is as much fun as the video. This is set in a friend’s apartment in Brighton. It was filmed over 9 hours one night from 7:00pm to 4:00am using a large number of friends helping and/or wearing masks for the shoot-not paid to my knowledge. Sounds like a fun project to help Ren with.
Thank u Doug...and I love what it took to get this video made!
Would it blow ur mind to know that the entire video is based on George Orwell's "Animal Farm?" Ren is such a breath of fresh air for music!
Check out Ren and Sam doing Bind Eyed - Angry Car Park Attendant version. It'll give you a sense of what a video recording is like for them, and how they just roll with the lemons and make lemonade. It's filmed by Sam.
Justin I'm definitely going to...that sounds super interesting for me!!!
You might consider combining it with the official music video for "Blind Eyed". The studio version (produced in Ren's bedroom) is a different beast from the several excellent live versions of the song on RUclips, and the video does a lot of interesting visual things, starting with a one-take section following Sam Tompkins before switching it up. I believe the official "Blind-Eyed" was filmed by Ren's other camera pal Luke Flegg, same one who did this awesome "Animal Flow" video.
@@serendipitish That's a great idea! Maybe start with the official video as it serves as a better introduction to the song, and then the guerilla garage version as a follow-up.
Just to be clear JoeE, there's two Sams here - SPV filmed both videos, and Sam Tompkins features with Ren in both. But you probably figured that out.
@@joeesparks7 Serendipitish has a great idea! Maybe start with the official video as it serves as a better introduction to the song, and then the guerilla garage version as a follow-up. The songs are about 4 minutes each, so combined they're a standard Ren epic!
Just to be clear Joe E, there's two Sams here - SPV filmed both videos, and Sam Tompkins features with Ren in both. But you probably figured that out.
What a great reactor you are! You notice so much.
I'm also glad that BP got you on to Ren and his genius.
You should really check out the live acoustic version of this. Rens breath control alone is outstanding, let alone his guitar skills.
Please give us your reaction to that. Sam's talent also fab! Thankyou. Love from the U.K ❤
He is amazing I listen to only Ren thank you great reaction ❤
I'm so glad you found Ren, this is a great reaction. I'm really looking forward to seeing you do more. Apparently it's his friend's flat, and all the animals are Ren's friends. They had to shoot it quite a few times.
The headlights at the end were improvised because they started shooting in the early evening, and got this take at 4AM. You gotta do whatcha gotta do. 🤣
Ren is insanely talented and knows how to capture people and make them feel involved and keep things on point and interesting! Just all around amazing!!! Love the reaction - you pointed out a lot of great things and love when people catch the smallest of details! He is truly inspiring! Much love xx
