They only had a maximum of 2 hours to record it (in a pub in Brighton). The whole project, from initial idea, to "in the can" took just 10 days. Kai, on bass, is Ren's friend/assistant who usually does the BTS videos. Sylvia and Scarlett, the backing singers, did a great job (as did Kai). A completely different side to Ren - brilliant !
ruclips.net/video/gYScobd-04c/видео.html and that's the BTS short video.....only Ren could carry on with rehearsals etc whilst hooked up to an IV drip!! Dedication :)
There are 3 types of people. 1. Expecting a Christina Cover. 2. Expecting a Police Cover. 3. Knowing that Ren would bring something completely unique to the table and not disappoint.
The last 3 songs Ren has released : 1. A retake of him singing (with beautiful harmonies) and playing guitar. 2. A rap retake of an iconic rap song. 3. An instrumental piano piece which he composed himself. No other artist in the world could even begin to do that - let alone smash every one out of the park. Ren is unique.
One of the things you miss by doing his latest releases out of order is the search for the Easter eggs. For example, in his Fred Again Mash Up he covered the song Jungle. Then he released this retake of a song by Jungle and did a shout out to Nas in the song. Then he released his Nas retake....
This is no longer a rabbit hole, this is a happy gigantic "tower of song" (thank you leonard c.) and Ren ownes every floor. Ren is an entire genre that I'm never going to leave.
Can you imagine.... 10 days between the first Idea and filming this... How is it just possible... Unbeleivable... The harmonies are so tight ... Awesome !
@@ferntim The first part is, yes, and the end was written by the Police. But he has rearranged it all, playing the Message in a Bottle riff underneath Jungle's lyrics, and many other changes. He also had to write his rap section, arrange Kai's bass part, and Scarlet and Sylvia's parts. It's a retake not a cover so there was a lot still to do and somehow they pulled it off in 10 days. There's a great behind the scenes on Patreon.
the 2 girls complimented ren soooo wellll on this. great reaction as always guys, you both never stopped smiling through it haha. an epic retake and restyle in a way only ren can do!
This was another brilliant ReNtake. Just Ren doing Ren things. Crazy runs and harmonies, filthy bars to remind us that he is also still a cheeky boi, and that voice that’s perfect for Sting/The Police songs. Ren has music in his soul and pours so much soul into everything he does. We’re just lucky to witness it 🐰🕳️
Don't usually comment but just wanted to say thank you for reacting to this. I have checked in every day since Ren released this. You guys rock. Also wearing the same style tank so that was crazy. Any thank you again!
I don't know how many times it took but it can't have been many, as they only had a couple of hours. The whole thing, the idea, the concept, writing, arranging, getting kai and 2 local backing singers, arranging a venue, (his local pub) , a couple of quick rehearsals, setting up the audio, the performance itself and his production, happened during a weeks break, back in the UK, fitted in around othe pre-arranged plans, then on a plane and back to Calgary to continue his treatment. Amazing! :)
Sorry to say no, but no 😊 This was recorded in Brighton, back when Money Game 3 was done (same outfit, btw). Halftime was recorded in Calgary, later I think.
New to your channel but don't think we haven't caught up to the lie. Kyle has the beat, the moves, the vibe while Eric "the hip hop head" is more stoic, chill like a metal head. You guys switched titles just to keep us on guard!!😁
Love this comment. 😂 However, if you haven't already, check out their reaction to Falling in Reverse's Watch the World Burn to see Eric lose his absolute shit over the increasingly intense rapping.
People suggesting a lot of things, but I believe I haven't seen anyone suggesting Aesop Rock. Anything by him is great: Dorks, Rings, Mindful Solutionism, Supercell, Dark Zero Thirty. I think this is something Eric would enjoy especially, seeing as he's a Hip Hop head. Aesop Rock is the best complex lyricist in Hip Hop ever. I swear to you, you would not be disappointed.
I was just made aware of the existence of Ren and Sam Tompkins Earned It/Mans World/Falling and I would *love* to see your reactions to that. I think you'll know when you hit the part that almost knocked me off my couch. Also yay for Guitar Hero reference! I played the first few iterations, and when they have the classic rock station on at my job I'm like the guy in that South Park episode who played "acoustic Guitar Hero". 😂
I think this is my favorite retake that he has done so far. I don’t know though. It’s hard to pick just one favorite of his. They are all so good and unique. 💜
Great reaction guys!! Eric, looking good man! I was thinking, it might be time to induct Ren into the club you guys started that only has one member if I'm not mistaken. Might be time to make T-shirts that say...."We get it Ren, you can music"
The 3 first cassette tapes that I owned were Run DMC's Raising Hell, Sting's Dream of the Blue Turtles, and Metallica's and Justice for All. I was a huge fan of hip hop specifically, going all the way back to Roxanne and UTFO. Early Ren's career was busking, emulating all of these artists... well. Also, he seems to give a nod to past influence, which I appreciate. There is no artist that reminds me of Prince's mad genius creativity, that is best harnessed in collaboration, more than when I watch Ren. When I watch this video, I am brought back to mid to late 80's Prince music. Of course, the topics are updated to meet modern issues.
I just got back to my computer after a big lunch and low and behold, FINALLY you guys got to this one. I tried being patient, but it's not my best feature. I'm old, life is short. haha I will accept your excuse um, apology for not getting to this quicker. Bless your hearts ♥

#3 is me!🤗
Was expecting jungle
Always number 3 lol
Facts
The last 3 songs Ren has released :
1. A retake of him singing (with beautiful harmonies) and playing guitar.
2. A rap retake of an iconic rap song.
3. An instrumental piano piece which he composed himself.
No other artist in the world could even begin to do that - let alone smash every one out of the park.
Ren is unique.
...since Prince passed away.
@@VampaganYup…
The double tank top is something I wasn't prepared for today
Me either but I’m here for it. 👀🤪🤣
😂
The “AC Is Broken” look 😂
Hahaha
@@shirleygarcia8092 Glad someone else said it -- I was having trouble listening to what they were saying at first. 😂
One of the things you miss by doing his latest releases out of order is the search for the Easter eggs. For example, in his Fred Again Mash Up he covered the song Jungle. Then he released this retake of a song by Jungle and did a shout out to Nas in the song. Then he released his Nas retake....
I was wondering if someone would point that out - such a fun detail!
Nas retake was “Rest in Peace Mack” and then came Mackay wearing a Sublime sweatshirt!
Wait for it…
Plus in the Nas retake he said "rest in peace Mac" then released Mackay.
@@MissMeKateholy cripes. That's brilliant!
@@dojohnso He's always one step ahead of us!
You guys definetly should check out some of Rens older stuff like Humble and Ocean where he plays with Eden Nash
absolutely. also "penitence! with Molly McKinna (probably butchered the crap outta that!) Ren always chooses real talent!
Definitely! Humble and Ocean are brilliant and man can she sing!
Ocean is fire!
My personal favourites are Heretic and Diazepam
This is no longer a rabbit hole, this is a happy gigantic "tower of song" (thank you leonard c.) and Ren ownes every floor. Ren is an entire genre that I'm never going to leave.
When it comes to music. Ren is all you need!!
So true!
Ren is my Roman Empire
Can you imagine.... 10 days between the first Idea and filming this... How is it just possible... Unbeleivable... The harmonies are so tight ... Awesome !
Ren never misses, everything he touches turns to gold, what a performance yet again
I Am NEVER Not Happy Listening to Ren!! Wowww! 💜😎
According to the bts on Patreon, this came together from idea to writing to conposing to filming in 10 days.
This song is written and composed by the band Jungle!
@@ferntim The first part is, yes, and the end was written by the Police. But he has rearranged it all, playing the Message in a Bottle riff underneath Jungle's lyrics, and many other changes.

Oh, they only had like a hour or 2 because pub had to open and he needed to open for evening.
It's a huge joy, isn't it?!...
It's our ARTIST... Ren!
So good!
Thanks for the reaction.
Thank you, thank you for reacting to this. I enjoyed watching you. Peace.
Watching Kyle make the same faces I did when I saw it the first time was just awesome! I love you guys. Please keep doing what you do.❤️🖤
❤ #ren
Somebody call The Police as it should be illegal to be that good & hawt!!! 🥵🚨🔥🖤
ok...that's funny 😂
@@Dalmen 🤭🚨🤭
@Lou-xq9br 🤣🤣🤣😜 Now that was funny... and yes - I agree with you one-hundred percent!!! 💙💙💙🤭😘

YES YES and YES! 😎🔥🔥🔥💯🫡✌️🫶🫂☕️
The Crazy thing is he's still young and he's gonna get better.....BTILLIANT TALENT
Standing ovation!! This one's a keeper.
I love everything Ren does!!! He is so good!!!
Don't usually comment but just wanted to say thank you for reacting to this. I have checked in every day since Ren released this. You guys rock. Also wearing the same style tank so that was crazy. Any thank you again!
I was waiting for you to react to this. Great reaction, as always. Much love from France ❤
Yes! I love you guys and I was so looking forward to this reaction! You two are amazing.
Thanks for the reaction guys -that smile at the end says it all...he knew they krushed that!! TC homies:)
Yeah you made my whole Friday better!🎉😊
In the behind the scenes he showed this went from a random thought in his head to filming in the span of 10 days. Crazy.
Thank you for another badass reaction!!! Ren NEVER disappoints! 🖤
I hope that everyone has seen and heard Back On 74 by Jungle. The song is wonderful and all of their videos are captivating! The dancers are so good!
Just amazing raw talent. Never ceases to impress me!
Love your reactions, guys! Isn't this the best thing ever?? And yeah, Kai (the bass player) is too cool.
I NEED MORE OF WHATEVER THIS IS!!! OMG!!! GOOOOLDEN!
This track makes me happy, soooo smooth
great reaction, worth the wait

Such an awesome performance, The BTS for this track is fascinating, such starts everyone of them including the film guys! Love your reactions .
Love this so much! Each time I listen to it, the more I love it! ❤. Thanks for another fun reaction! ☮️❤️😎
Finally!!!! So good, I knew you would love it!
I knew you guys would love this! I can't believe I've only just watched your reaction today! lol! Good times, guys, great reaction!
Ren is the most diverse musician out there these days, i believe..just never know what you're going to get
Thank you both, hope you can get some more of his older music too, many hidden gems!! Much love and have a great day!
Sorry to say no, but no 😊
This was recorded in Brighton, back when Money Game 3 was done (same outfit, btw).

@@KIBICKE94 thank you for the correction, I must have either misheard, or mis-remembered 😅. Have a great day!!
Edited it out to not confuse others!
Soooo Smooove!!
We are witnessing the most talented artist of all time

Wow this is incredible Ren is so talented
This was so smooth and well done. They all killed it! Ren is amazing and Kai killed it on the bass 💜💜
I think this is my favorite retake that he has done so far. I don’t know though. It’s hard to pick just one favorite of his. They are all so good and unique. 💜
Finally😂 I've been waiting for you guys to do this!😊 It's so good to see him happy.
Great reaction guys!! Eric, looking good man! I was thinking, it might be time to induct Ren into the club you guys started that only has one member if I'm not mistaken. Might be time to make T-shirts that say...."We get it Ren, you can music"
Another great reaction. Great enthusiasm💕👍🦇
Kyle on here slowly shaking his tatas 😂. Ren can really make you move and groove
Was patiently waiting for this reaction. Well done, guys. And Eric, sir, you are looking 🔥🔥🔥 I must say…
You guys are so awesome. Get a vibe check when I listen to you ❤🎉
I nearly lost it when Judge Judy said Sack Tap on TV.
Lovely reaction. Ren knows how to share the stage.
🔥🔥🔥🔥thanks guys appreciate you.
Well, THAT was different and awesome!!
🔥 🔥 🔥
the harmonies! so smooth 🔥
❤ love you guys, this was an amazing reaction as always❤
Much love from Sudbury Ontario Canada
Howdy neighbour. I’m in Elliot Lake.

A Soul Smoothie indeed!
You guys have to react to when Ren was with The Big Push and they covered Sting's "Englishman in New York." Phenomenal cover! Great reaction, fellas!
I also wonder how many takes, I’m guessing 5, awesome reaction, loved it thank you 🙏🦉❤️🐊👍
That high pitch at 3:32 on your video reminded of Prince!!!!
Yay! Was waiting for this one. So good. ❤❤❤
You are by far my favorite reactors. Absolutely the best ❤.
Pure beauty ❤
Ren the Rubik's Cube of music 🤣 So versatile, ya never know what's dropping next and amazing every time 🎶🎶🎶
More soul than platforms lol.
Enjoyed your reaction
Great reaction lads
I just got back to my computer after a big lunch and low and behold, FINALLY you guys got to this one. I tried being patient, but it's not my best feature. I'm old, life is short. haha I will accept your excuse um, apology for not getting to this quicker. Bless your hearts ♥
Yay!!! Finally! Thank you .
I would SO love to see a duet with Ren & Sting ♥
He took it down ❤
Great reaction and Kyle if you don't mind me saying, you're looking extra handsome today❤

Remember Ren working on new album. Out in a couple of months he said!!
How you not have a pun, Kyle?! I need my daily dose of dad jokes! LOL
