WHY SHOULD YOU DRESS TO IMPRESS? #2 Dance Away - Roxy Music (The Lyric Division - A Podcast)
NF has a lot of lore, with so many callbacks to previous songs and videos, but his stuff can be enjoyed even if you don't get that stuff. And for the record though he's Christian and tends to give God a shout-out in a lot of his songs, he doesn't consider himself a Christian artist. Intro then Mansion would be good next, then Intro 2, Therapy Session, I Just Wanna Know, Real..... So many! Btw, i know this isn't what you're going for, but a bonus of your videos for me is that your voice hits me like ASMR.
Hey Izzy! Lately you’ve been looking quite dapper! Noice mate! Clearly, Ren’s is beyond talented. Almost unfathomably so. As a talented musical artist yourself; do you find Ren inspiring? I mean do you make mental notes of techniques he uses, and ideas you could use in your own videos? Do you have friends that resent the hell out of him? When is more of your stuff coming out? Just curious. I hope this finds you well. 😉💙✌️
Made me think - even back when Baroque music was being made - the players would dress, the performance was a spectacle - perhaps northern soul and club music wasn’t about the artists visuals. Think you would love Indigo Girls, Closer to fine. Like this, but it doesn’t offer as much as the live murderer Imho. Keep reacting 👍👍🏽
Love your soft spoken voice to this artist called Ren.
I love how much you really think about the songs and stop and talk about it. That’s a true reaction. Welcome to the Swiftie world
Love love watching your mind work in “real time”. You are a deep thinker. You may have been a philosopher in a previous life. I think you should write your thoughts down for future generations to understand the current time we live in. I don’t think time is linear. We’re tricked by the short time we’re here and the fact that our bodies age. But our souls don’t age and they don’t die. A soul is energy and good souls come back where they are needed in the circle of time. Could be the future could be the past. Ren brings these thoughts to me. And it looks like he does the same to you. Love your soul.
Love melding with your mind. Deep thinker, deep thoughts. Funny how Ren evokes such things in us. I don’t think that’s normal. He’s a very unique artist. So happy to have him in my life. You are a tractor who I always look forward to in this Ren journey. You’re real. You tell it like it is from you specific perspective. Keep it up. I like your own stuff as well!
Reactor not tractor lol! Spell check is a curse and a blessing. Ren Genesis quote. I find myself quoting Ren lyrics all day long! What is wrong with me???
Another great reaction from one of my favorite reactors. Thanks Izzy
Glad you enjoyed this! Another fantastic and thoughtful reaction 💜💜
He’s a very clever lad, one of my favourites! Loved hearing your thoughts.
Thank you 🙏❤ Izzy ❤ for your 🐷 Ren - 🐟&🍟🌊🌈🚢 Genesis (Live Acoustic) reaction! #ren #genesisliveacoustic #genesis #live #acoustic #sickboialbum #brighton #england #savesickboi #freesickboi
There's so much more emotion in this live version. I feel the intensity. That was a lovely observation about the cinematography. You have a good eye.
I don't know if you've heard this: In an early interview with Ren, he says that he usually thinks about visuals while he's writing songs. So the visuals for his videos are integral, not something just added on. But, he also said, talking about the video for "Animal Flow," that many of the concepts for that 1 video were last minute additions.
Thx ❤
your sweater is a statement
As often noted, when Ren does a recorded version and then acoustic version of a song, they feel like two different songs. Thanks for your thoughts on this one!
Random info- Taylor’s apartment in NYC was previously owned by Peter Jackson. (At least part of it bc it’s said that she has bought additional units and merged them). 🤷♀️
Quick "Thanks!" Glad you found your way to this . . . ❤
This is so raw and emotional. In acoustics he digs much deeper into the visceral. At this point Connor was his right hand man and good friend. Since then he has become his manager. He's the first person Ren embraces when he learned of winning the #1 album for Sick Boi. A truly quality guy. I don’t know the guitarist, but Luke ,the videographer says he got goosebumps every time Ren sang the nah nah nee. This Monday the 26th of Aug. Ren is releasing a live version of Bittersweet Symphony done with a string Quartet. And on Wed Chris Webby is realeasing his song with Ren featuring. Heads up my friend!❤
Good eye on noticing the colors. I'm always so wrapped up in watching the emotional parts.
I love the pose that you're talking about. Ren does it in a lot of his videos. I feel like it's a moment of surrendering to the all. So fitting that you used the word "akashic." In Vedantic philosophy, it has a technical meaning of "an ethereal fluid that pervades the cosmos."
That reminds me of how I feel when he holds his fingers up a bit and seems to be channeling from somewhere else. I’m so looking forward to the next several months as he releases his new work.
One aspect I appreciate in his songs is his commitment to the performance. There’s no holding back. Full body, full voice, full vulnerability - and that adds that extra few percent to lift things out of standard fare. As always a thoughtful reaction. Have a good weekend mate.
He is so captivating to watch 🥹💜
Love this one it is raw and creative.
Terrific reaction and thoughtful commentary. I like that you said trying to hold on to a certain concept or form can kill creativity. You put into words that which escaped me. Thanks for your continued support of Ren!
❤
Izzy, you always give me reason to pause. That's a good thing. When you spoke about your music and letting it happen because it feels right made me think about when I give talks. Often, something will hit me that's off script. When I go with it, not always knowing why, it seems that someone will approach me after and say that that was the part that meant the most to them. Makes me believe there is an intelligence in that space between us.
Love your reaction! So much happening in this video! Thanks ❤🕊️
hey i love your reactions! hugs, you have seen push chinchilla and Sam, maybe its time for Eden Nash? i like Humble by them! Oceans is ok but Humble might be better for this channel, only love here man
Love Humble.
This version is fierce good! Just fyi if your not aware Ren has a new version of Bittersweet Symphony release on Monday 7pm Chris Webby Featuring Ren on Wednesday After that much new music every week up to Christmas
Freedom for the soul?
That’s Connor his manager
Thank you for reacting to Betty, I just love that song, please react to "Champagne Problems" from The Eras Tour 🇧🇷❤ p.s: sorry for my english very poor!!!
Am yow from North Brum?! Your accent takes me back to my childhood lol Great reaction, nice one bro
This makes me like James even less…..it’s a pretty crappy apology, he pretty much blames betty for liking dancing. It also makes me more sorry for August.
Taylor has said this is fictional characters but now, post TTPD- Hmm… 🤔 Cardigan - music video next.
Taylor has been friends with Paul McCartney for years. He has been at the Eras tour in Europe to watch the concert.
Agreed…all modern music can find a trace back to the Beatles. Their impact is crazy considering the short a,out of time they were together. Btw-Taylor and Paul are friends. She interviewed him for Rolling Stones in 2020 and he wrote the song Who Cares? about Taylor. He was just at her tour in the UK. Another fun fact, Taylor can play a 12-string. She learned after a guitar teacher told her when she was young that she couldn’t learn to play the 12-string after she had asked about it. Great reaction. I’m assuming cardigan is next. It’s my favorite of the trilogy. Peter from TTPD, released this year, would be a great listener after that as there are some parallels.
It crazy! I think George was 26 when they split up! Thanks, Amy! I'll look into that article and check out the song. I'm planning on Cardigan next, but I can't find the interview part, so I may do something else first. I'll get to Peter soon too.
@@IzzyIzenstain There's not an interview about cardigan on long ponds. It was a single from the album so there's a cool music video that Taylor directed for the song and a "making of". This song is crazy for me because I didn't freak out over it like everyone else did when it first came out. But every time I've listened to it over the last 5 years it slowly invaded my brain and has now become one of my favorites. The video has always been amazing to me. Very imaginative. Thanks for the response. 😃
❤
Taylor learned guitar on a 12 string
It being rambling is something I kind of understand; I actually think the original 5 minute version from the main album is "better" in terms of technicality and storytelling, while this version hits better as a cathartic vent to scream/sing along to. Unfortunately, this is basically the only version most fans will consider exists now, and the only one people will recommend 😅 I think her popularity stems from the elements of relatability to the female experience, particularly the white female American experience, like you mentioned, but also she has a lot of fans who are around her age that more or less grew up with her, and her story often intersects with theirs in a lot of ways in terms of life experiences (gaining independence, traumatic relationships, facing adversaries and/or bullying, crushes and the whole romantic spectrum, etc). I'm a nerd who loves to overanalyze lyrics and stories, so I very much enjoy her overall use of metaphor and general sense of creativity with song structure and genre, but I actually can't really relate to most of her songs either dsfsdfds
A good analysis! Thanks! I'll check out the original version.
You should do her performance of jaded from her backyard sessions!
I'll do that next. Thanks, Adrian!
Interesting you picked up on The Beatles. Taylor has been a guest over the years to Sir Paul McCartney's big house parties. Usually they occur around Grammy season. There are a few pictures of them chatting at different events. But I think they talk more when she's at his place since there aren't cameras around therefore being able to have a thorough one on one conversation with him. I'm sure they have talked about music and exchanged a few ideas here and there. Also, not too long ago, he attended her Eras Tour and was seen dancing with fans and singing along to her music. He looked like he was having a blast. And Taylor is friends with his daughter Stella. She has worn some of her merch over the years. Stella is even mentioned in Taylor's song "London Boy". Plus, Taylor listens to older music. Her parents always had music playing around the home from James Taylor (whom she's named after and got meet and sing with) to Def Leppard. She has mentioned her love for Joni Mitchell, Carole King and Stevie Nicks. So there is that musical influence from these big music icons.
Imagine the parties and conversations that we don’t know about! 😂
Thanks for filling me in, Yvette!
I like the trilogy.
Yes.. please respond to TTPD Anthology songs❤
I miss the harmonica in this version. I love the sound of it so much and I think it matches this song perfectly
Not surprising it’s Paul McCartney-esque as she and Paul are good friends, and she’s undoubtedly influenced by his music. He always sings her praises, commenting on her ability to write beautiful lyrics. They recorded a song together I believe, although I can’t remember the name off the top of my head. Taylor learned to play guitar on a twelve string!
I so want to hear your reaction of her eras tour performances of either who’s afraid of little old me, or the smallest man who ever lived. The smallest man who ever lived is about the lead singer of the 1975.
The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived intrigues me. I'll do it soon.
@@IzzyIzenstainAwesome!!!
Not wanting to be weird but I’ve got to say…you are beautiful and your voice is soothing lol
Thanks, Ashley!
I saw this and clicked so fast lol
