Ren saw Sam busking solo as a kid about 16 years old and took him under his wing. Although Ren has really started his meteoric rise to fame last year with "Hi Ren", it was Sam's shocking falsetto paired with Ren that earned them a viral video about 4 years ago. You may actually have seen it and just haven't made the connection yet. "Earned It/Man's World/Falling" is on Ren's channel with 11 million views and definitely worth a reaction. Sam's recent song/video "Time Will Fly" isn't specifically about Ren - it's Sam's story of his life - but Ren played a major role. It's not only a great song, but you get to see pictures of VERY young Sam and Ren.
I adore the story of Ren, the experienced busker, seeing this talented kid Sam on the street and asking “Would you like me to go out of my way to provide tech and backing so other people can appreciate how much you shine?” The beginning of a beautiful friendship
I see a couple versions of how they met. The story is even more heartwarming. Ren had quit busking early because he didn't feel well. On his way home he came across this 16 year-old with an amazing voice singing acapella. He told him he could get a far bigger audience with mic & amp & offered his. He also offered his guitar but Sam said he didn't have a clue how to play. So Ren sat on the sidewalk & accompanied him for an hour or so. Sam said they made many times the amount in tips than he ever had & Ren insisted that Sam keep it all. Don't miss the other talented guys from The Big Push. "Goodbye Good Days" & "75 Beats Per Minute" by Romain Axisa are both gorgeous. Listen to Gorran Kendall singing his own song "if" or "Two Pence Shy" but don't miss the fun of the "Icarus" video.
There’s actually a video on sams TH-cam channel of sam reacting to his old videos and one of them is the day he met Ren. They both look really young in it I Sam was either 15 or 16 and ten was 23
There's a video of their meeting! Sam was seen by Ren singing, busking, with no equipment! Ren stopped and said here... use mine... you'll fill the streets! Ren played... the people came... the rest is history! Watch the Angry Parking Lott Attendant version at least! Lol
The story of how Ren and Sam met is really cool Sam was singing on the street no mic or amp, Ren was on his way home with his music gear and offered Sam the use of his mic and amp and they have been friends ever since
I read something from Sam that said Ren also played back up for him that day. Sam ended up with $250 as opposed to his usual $40 (Ren didn't take a cut) Sam said it opened his eyes to what was possible. He was only 15.
Sam actually tells the story on a video on his page where he's looking back at videos of himself. He shows some of the actual footage of him and Ren busking the day they met.
On Sam Tompkins TH-cam channel he has a recent song and video called "Time Will Fly" and it has an old video of the first day Ren and Sam Tompkins ever met. Same was 16 and Ren was 23 years old and it's a clip of them Busking together. Sam was trying to make some money so he decided to try Busking and no one was really paying attention to him. Ren was finished up for the day and said he wasn't feeling too good and decided to go home whe n he passed Sam and heard his voice and how amazing he was but again because Sam had no PA system to sing through no one could hear him so Ren offered him to use his PA and guitar. Sam declined because he didn't know how to play guitar that well, he was just starting to learn. So Ren said he'll play guitar for him and they started busking and a crowd grew. When they finished Sam went to split up the money they made together and Ren told him to keep it, save it up and buy your own gear. They've been best friends ever since. Now Sam is sighed and had opened up for Justin Bieber, his songs have been sampled in Nicki Minaj songs and in September in going to see him in Brooklyn during his first ever North American tour. You DEFINITELY have to check out Sam's original music it so good. Again his song Time Will Fly has baby Ren and Sam in it. But his other songs like Lose it All and See Me are amazing. And to think he's a smoker or maybe he finally quit, but he can hit those high notes then come down low with a little vocal fry. But he always mentions Ren's name and what he's done for him in every interview he does. It's amazing the talent that Ren finds. There's Sam Tompkins, Chinchilla, Eden Nash... He doesn't hang out and sing with slackers I guess haha. I've seen people already mention the Angry Car Park Attendant version and what's hilarious about that is Ren sells The Angry Car Park Attendant toy in his merch store epically named "Ren Makes Merch" He also has a Jenny and Screech toy, a Sik Boi toy wearing the pig mask, and Sack Man from the "Money Game" video haha
What a true gentleman! He won't ever forget who helped him get to where he is today! Ren knows true talent when he sees (hears) it. He's a special one for sure! I wish success to Sam and just hope that being signed isn't a detrimental decision. I've heard to many stories about artists being f*cked over...Mariah Carey being one of them ironically!
That busking session went viral before everything took off - last time I looked it had about 11 million views. Truly amazing piece of art - live out in the streets. You definitely need to check that out as well as the walking on the moon/no diggity joint and their Stevie Wonder mash up too. 🔥🔥🔥✌️
This is the cleanest version I know of, but my favorite version of this song is where they get thrown out of the parking garage, but refuse to stop singing. You can do a lot of things in a studio to make better sound, but you can't fake sounding good as you walk out of a parking garage. It's even more amazing when you realize that Ren was playing for most of the song with broken strings. These guys deserve all the fame and fortune that hopefully is coming their way. Great reaction!
Sam is so amazing ! His live of ''Lose it all'' for example but you can go for any song from his repertoire . Ren is a powerful magnet for talented peeps ! as if they are growing each one from one another ...
Sam is on tour now! And he opened fir Justin Beiber. This is the first song that went viral for them. Such a validation for Ren as he was just rejoining the living. Sam and Ren do a busking session earned it, Man's World, Falling. Must hear.
Ren's coping with pain written in music. I thought you had seen some of the busking vids of Ren & Sam busking in the streets, amazing. Yes, Ren discovered Sam and he is moving forward in Europe. Cheers again, Mrs.
This is Top5 live music captures on the web imho. Two *very* talented friends obviously having fun with one of the songs they wrote together. Great song, great vibes... what's not to love? :) It's interesting to see what Ren did with the production & video for the studio version of this, & also amusing to watch the "angry car park attendant" live capture. I love that Ren immortalised said car park attendant in caricature as a toy available on his website!! LOL Was also nice to see Sam opening for Justin Bieber on some of his European dates. There's some backstage footage of Bieber singing one of Sam's songs... & Sam is loving it! :)
@@MrsRealistic If you check out his "Time Will Fly", & the "See Me" lyric vid (both excellent btw), I reckon he has enough substance to him, not to get caught in the dodgy industry shenanigans. Also, I guarantee Ren will take his call anytime he needs some blunt straight-thinking guidance. ;)
One day Ren was walking home after busking, and came across a young guy who was singing all alone on the street, with no guitar or PA. He thought he was really good, but he seemed very shy and uncertain. Ren offered to the kid to borrow his PA and his guitar, but he said he couldn't play guitar. So Ren offered to play guitar for him and to let him use his PA, so that people could hear him better. That kid was Sam. There's a short video of that day - they're both very young with their Justin Bieber haircuts. There's a comment from Sam on that video, where he says he would cry when he watched it back, as Ren went through year after year after year of declining health, with no end in sight. Like everyone Ren works with - both in front of as well as behind the camera - Sam is first and foremost Ren's friend. Everything you've seen from Ren is all just Ren and his friends. It's special. There's another version of this song "Featuring The Angry Car Park Attendant" that's a ton of fun, where they get chased off from their video shoot but continue playing, despite Ren even breaking a guitar string. It's a great show of their characters, and is a legendary clip. Several of Ren's videos have been filmed in that parking garage.
🥂 for the algorithm. As always, much ❤ from 🇨🇦. Remember the old expression: "Judge yourself by the company that you keep." Well, Ren surrounds himself with the best of the best. Both elevating himself while also elevating them in return. Skills enhancing skills. The more you dig into the Ren rabbit hole, the more you'll see this in action.
No bad versions of any Ren song just variations of perfection, I find the version of this I like the most is with the angry car park attendant. Acoustic guitar no amplification perfect resonance from the concrete, no stopping even when being chased away by the angry car park attendant and no faltering even after breaking strings on the guitar.
Sam is a fantastic artist in his own right. He's now played with Bieber and is signed to a major and just starting a new world tour. His music can also be dark, he has his own demons, but he has the voice of an angel. Please try more of his music:- Hero and See me are deep and sad. Whole is a fantasfic pop song. Time will fly includes great old footage of him and Ren on the streets busking. Lose it All is beautuful.
New entry in the 2023 Webster Dictionary: Definition of a true artist (with a capital A): Someone like Ren Gill. Don't you agree?! Fantastic reactions to Ren's work. Good job
Just came across your channel today! Wonderful ❤, found Sam and Ren, about 4 yrs ago, and listening to them everyday since! The 1st was their busking video , Man’s world/fallen ,, it’s amazing ! Also, REN’s band The big push all awesome, chalk outlines too!!
I have a Ren Playlist (chalk outlines is in it) as well as a few of The Big Push reactions as well! They're great! I've just discovered Sam and uploaded a new one today! Thanks for joining me! 😊🙏
Damn! This is is amazing. Masterful. There's been nothing like Ren and his friends that I know of. (Edit The only person I can think of that comes close is Prince)
This bloody song causes more differences of opinion than any other Ren song there's 5 versions to choose from and everyone has their own favourite Like the excellent reactor that you are, you chose the best one here 😁
I don't think I've listened to one song from Ren yet that I haven't enjoyed. Whether it's him going solo, as part of a duet, or with his band The Big Push. He's not only a very well-rounded musician; he's a student of music and all of its different genres. He's constantly referencing other musicians that you wouldn't even expect him to be aware of. He's definitely gifted. I've also said this before, but you've definitely become my favorite reactor. I laugh to myself when I say the world "reactor" because until very recently, I didn't even know that reacting to a song was a thing. I discovered music reactors with "Hi Ren." Individual songs have as many meanings as there are people who listen to them but I find that your explanation for a lyric or song almost always matches my interpretation, so how couldn't you be my favorite? I also love your sense of humor. You stop the video and come up with some great one-liners that crack me up. You also seem very comfortable in front of the camera, which is fantastic. I hope your husband is continuing to get better. Everyone take care out there. We're living in a crazy world, and I think it's just going to get worse from this point forward. Sorry to be a half glass empty kind of guy, but I'm just calling like I see it. I'd love nothing more than to be wrong. Thank you!
You're very kind! Thank you! I'm trying to be a glass half full kind of person, and hope that people wake up to the hypocrisy and gaslighting going on... but it's tough when you see it day in and day out! Thank you for thinking of my husband. He's getting better each day! 🙌🙏😁
Highly recommend the Sam Rabbit hole - start with Time will fly (it shows his history including showing young Ren), I also think you will love loose it all (Live session) or anything with Sam.and Ren busking
@@MrsRealistic yeah I highly suggest two songs of his. One is a tribute to ren and a video of the very first time ren met Sam. Which is an amazing story. I'm sure you have heard already. That song is called time will fly. The second song is called see me. The live version is amazing I love it. But I also love the produced version where he's standing in front of a three piece mirror with three of him in the reflections that sing back to him and he harmonizes with.
I also melt when I hear Sams vocals, such a talented guy. Funny how Ren met him busking in the streets aswell. I recall Sam even getting to perform at a Justin Bieber show, which is so deserved and I hope he continues to see success. I recommend "What went wrong" with Ren&Sam, both part 1 and 2 since they are both sort of short and perhaps doing both in one video would be easier. Otherwise for another amazing busking performance, please check out the Earned It/Man's World/Falling performance they did busking live, it's right next to Blind Eyed for me.
The footage of him singing with Justin Bieber was pretty epic. What a dream come true for him! 😁 I'm looking forward to hearing man's world! I just uploaded Time will Fly.
Oh there's footage? I never even looked it up for some reason, thanks for letting me know about that! Cool, I'm here for it all. Really enjoy your videos and wish you the best going forward @@MrsRealistic
I'm so glad more reactors are finally seeing and sharing this wonderful collaboration with Sam and Ren. One of my favorites. Great reaction, and thank you!
Where did he come from you ask? My guess is that like most people, his mother gave The Big Push ... see what I did there? 😊 Cool reaction as always, if you have not already done Ren and Sam's two songs titled "What Went Wrong" parts 1 and 2. Its more of their good stuff. Like they could even make bad content. Hope all is good n your world, Peace.
It's weird how certain high tones hit my brain the wrong way, while others don't. I always liked Ren's falsetto, but Sam's hit a nerve that made me wince, even though I recognize his extreme talent. However, after listening to Blind-Eyed and their version/mashup of Earned It/Man's World/Falling a few times, I'm finally getting to like it. The same with the Bee Gees during their disco years (late 1970's). I couldn't stand their sound back then, but now my weird brain has fully accepted their sound. Hm, I'm thinking about having my brain scientifically examined by a brainologist...
Suggestion for you to check out Aurora. Beautiful lyricism and voice! only know one track of hers so far though :) Also I really enjoy your reactions! You connect!☀ It's just that I make 'em myself so I got to react before I can watch you.. :)
Good word for this, "epic". Great reaction as usual Mrs R.....! Have you seen the version of this song they do, also live, where they get kicked out of a car park by some tit of a car park attendant? That would be a fab follow up x

There is this beautiful origin story how they both met, I don't know if you are familiar with it yet, here is the video and the story is in the description: th-cam.com/video/5CLas8s4u2k/w-d-xo.html
@@MrsRealistic Oh and this is sam himself reacting to this very video and telling everybody how the first meeting went back then: th-cam.com/video/4QPXy9IZCW8/w-d-xo.html
It’s hard to say which is the best rendition of this to react to - this is great and better in some ways, but then the busking version(s) and the angry car park attendant versions all have their own merit too.
Angry car park attendant version is... well I'll let you decide 🙃😂🐦.
I'm excited to watch it!
@@MrsRealisticit's so much fun. This version is great to listen to. That one is fun to watch!
I concur.
This is the best version musically, by far.
Angry carpark attendant is fun..

Ren always let's others shine when performing with him. Class act.
He really is. You can see it shine through in him. He's a rare one!
I see a couple versions of how they met. The story is even more heartwarming. Ren had quit busking early because he didn't feel well.

Sam said they made many times the amount in tips than he ever had & Ren insisted that Sam keep it all.
Don't miss the other talented guys from The Big Push. "Goodbye Good Days" & "75 Beats Per Minute" by Romain Axisa are both gorgeous. Listen to Gorran Kendall singing his own song "if" or "Two Pence Shy" but don't miss the fun of the "Icarus" video.
Great story! And thank you for the suggestions! I'll add them to the list!

Check out their busking duets, then you'll hear Sam's full range. Justin B invited Sam to open for him
I look forward to it, thanks! It's so wicked that people can get recognized through TH-cam like that! How cool for Sam!
This performance was from 2018. Ren was 28 and Sam 21.

One day Ren was walking home after busking, and came across a young guy who was singing all alone on the street, with no guitar or PA. He thought he was really good, but he seemed very shy and uncertain. Ren offered to the kid to borrow his PA and his guitar, but he said he couldn't play guitar. So Ren offered to play guitar for him and to let him use his PA, so that people could hear him better. That kid was Sam.
There's a short video of that day - they're both very young with their Justin Bieber haircuts. There's a comment from Sam on that video, where he says he would cry when he watched it back, as Ren went through year after year after year of declining health, with no end in sight. Like everyone Ren works with - both in front of as well as behind the camera - Sam is first and foremost Ren's friend. Everything you've seen from Ren is all just Ren and his friends. It's special.
There's another version of this song "Featuring The Angry Car Park Attendant" that's a ton of fun, where they get chased off from their video shoot but continue playing, despite Ren even breaking a guitar string. It's a great show of their characters, and is a legendary clip. Several of Ren's videos have been filmed in that parking garage.
Ren is so deeply caring. He sees the good in people which is hard for a lot to do. I can't wait to see that and the parking lot vid!!
I like the other versions, but this one is by far my favorite
Sometimes the raw, live stuff is the best!
Oh boy, now you get to explore Sam's music!

fucking awsome reaction! you saw what we saw and thats just lovely hugs all around
Thank you so much! 😁🙏
Every time I hear this it brings tears of joy, I just can’t get enough of them…
It's truly beautiful!
Sam has opened for Justin Bieber and Chinchilla for Sting. Ren can spot talent singers maybe because he's one too😁.
🤓🇸🇪
More Epic-ness!!!
How did I mis this😀
I don't think I've listened to one song from Ren yet that I haven't enjoyed. Whether it's him going solo, as part of a duet, or with his band The Big Push. He's not only a very well-rounded musician; he's a student of music and all of its different genres. He's constantly referencing other musicians that you wouldn't even expect him to be aware of. He's definitely gifted.
I've also said this before, but you've definitely become my favorite reactor. I laugh to myself when I say the world "reactor" because until very recently, I didn't even know that reacting to a song was a thing. I discovered music reactors with "Hi Ren." Individual songs have as many meanings as there are people who listen to them but I find that your explanation for a lyric or song almost always matches my interpretation, so how couldn't you be my favorite? I also love your sense of humor. You stop the video and come up with some great one-liners that crack me up. You also seem very comfortable in front of the camera, which is fantastic.
I hope your husband is continuing to get better. Everyone take care out there. We're living in a crazy world, and I think it's just going to get worse from this point forward. Sorry to be a half glass empty kind of guy, but I'm just calling like I see it. I'd love nothing more than to be wrong. Thank you!
You're very kind! Thank you! I'm trying to be a glass half full kind of person, and hope that people wake up to the hypocrisy and gaslighting going on... but it's tough when you see it day in and day out! Thank you for thinking of my husband. He's getting better each day! 🙌🙏😁
@@MrsRealistic That's wonderful news about your husband, and again, thank you.
Love my angry car park attendant song, thank you 👍❤️🦉🐊🙏,
I'm going to be doing that one soon! 😁👍
He also has the park attendant as merch 🤣
❤🔥
Highly recommend the Sam Rabbit hole - start with Time will fly (it shows his history including showing young Ren), I also think you will love loose it all (Live session) or anything with Sam.and Ren busking
Cool, thanks! I look forward to it!
They are best friends Sam is out touring the USNow!
Yes I heard! Pretty cool that he made it!
Love it! Thank you
So glad! Cheers!
Love the mc sesh but u also love the hilariousness of the car park vid.
I loved that one! It was fantastic!
Hes pretty famous. Went on tour with justin beebs
Seriously?! That's wicked!!
@@MrsRealistic yeah I highly suggest two songs of his. One is a tribute to ren and a video of the very first time ren met Sam. Which is an amazing story. I'm sure you have heard already.
That song is called time will fly.
The second song is called see me. The live version is amazing I love it. But I also love the produced version where he's standing in front of a three piece mirror with three of him in the reflections that sing back to him and he harmonizes with.
@@krotchlickmeugh627 thank you for the info! I'll add it to the list! 😁👍
They are so amazing musically, it's easy to miss how sad the lyrics are.
Very true...I got wrapped up in it and realized it's about fighting an internal battle!
I also melt when I hear Sams vocals, such a talented guy. Funny how Ren met him busking in the streets aswell. I recall Sam even getting to perform at a Justin Bieber show, which is so deserved and I hope he continues to see success. I recommend "What went wrong" with Ren&Sam, both part 1 and 2 since they are both sort of short and perhaps doing both in one video would be easier. Otherwise for another amazing busking performance, please check out the Earned It/Man's World/Falling performance they did busking live, it's right next to Blind Eyed for me.
The footage of him singing with Justin Bieber was pretty epic. What a dream come true for him! 😁 I'm looking forward to hearing man's world! I just uploaded Time will Fly.
Oh there's footage? I never even looked it up for some reason, thanks for letting me know about that! Cool, I'm here for it all. Really enjoy your videos and wish you the best going forward @@MrsRealistic
@@Spot-t Yes, in Time Will Fly it shows him singing with JB. Pretty cool!!
I really recommend the video as well. It hits different than the live performances.
Oh wow... there's so many that I didn't even know had official videos! Thanks!
I'm so glad more reactors are finally seeing and sharing this wonderful collaboration with Sam and Ren. One of my favorites. Great reaction, and thank you!
It's so wonderful to listen too... They're great together!!
OH, is this your first time hearing Sam? He is in quite a few of the busing vids with Ren - he is a fantastic singer :)
I'll certainly be listening to more now!! 🙌
There is a studio version w a full music video
Sweet! I'll have to check it out!!
omg finally
😆👍
This video was shot in ellerbe
Thank you for the info!
Where did he come from you ask?
My guess is that like most people, his mother gave The Big Push ... see what I did there? 😊
Cool reaction as always, if you have not already done Ren and Sam's two songs titled "What Went Wrong" parts 1 and 2. Its more of their good stuff. Like they could even make bad content. Hope all is good n your world, Peace.
😆 That was a GOOD one! 🤣 Thanks for the other suggestions! Noted! 👍
There is a video of them where Sam interviewed Ren, pretty cool. Als I think Sam just did a tour where he opened up for Justin Bieber, not sure,
That's amazing! So great to see talent like this spread world wide!
It's weird how certain high tones hit my brain the wrong way, while others don't. I always liked Ren's falsetto, but Sam's hit a nerve that made me wince, even though I recognize his extreme talent. However, after listening to Blind-Eyed and their version/mashup of Earned It/Man's World/Falling a few times, I'm finally getting to like it. The same with the Bee Gees during their disco years (late 1970's). I couldn't stand their sound back then, but now my weird brain has fully accepted their sound. Hm, I'm thinking about having my brain scientifically examined by a brainologist...
Brainologist, I love it 🤣
Sam has the video of there first meeting on his TH-cam channel
Is it that short 1 minute video? I got a link from a couple of people here.
Suggestion for you to check out Aurora. Beautiful lyricism and voice! only know one track of hers so far though :)
Also I really enjoy your reactions! You connect!☀
It's just that I make 'em myself so I got to react before I can watch you.. :)
Why thank you sir! It's much appreciated!
if chinchilla is ren sister then SSam is ren's little brother
Absolutely!! 🙌
sam has done shows with bieber....pretty famous
One of the videos I covered, "Time Will Fly" showed his footage with Justin Bieber... pretty cool!
@@MrsRealistic yes its been neat seeing the progress and growth since their busking days
@@tynicholas6844 It's really heart warming!
Good word for this, "epic". Great reaction as usual Mrs R.....! Have you seen the version of this song they do, also live, where they get kicked out of a car park by some tit of a car park attendant? That would be a fab follow up x
Oh, I HAVE to do that one! I'll check that one in the next couple of days! 😁

Ren Needs To Stop Shocking Me ! I ' m feeling

- (( joke --- I kid - I kid ))
A L L jokes aside . . .
. . . I N E V E R Thought
an artist // musician like R E N
was capable of existing . Yet . . . here he is .
In the flesh . Strange . Confusing . I ' m
feeling Baffled in the Most Delightfully //
- // Beautiful W A Y ! ! !

Same here! When I first heard him I was like, "What even IS THIS?!" I was delightfully shocked!
🤍💛🧡💗💚💙💜🤎🖤✌
There is this beautiful origin story how they both met, I don't know if you are familiar with it yet, here is the video and the story is in the description:
th-cam.com/video/5CLas8s4u2k/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!
thanks for the link, I hadn't seen that, and Sam's words are nice. Cheers
@@MrsRealistic Oh and this is sam himself reacting to this very video and telling everybody how the first meeting went back then:
th-cam.com/video/4QPXy9IZCW8/w-d-xo.html
Sam Tompkins just opened for Justin Bieber….
That's WICKED! 😁🙌
Hi there. Some are asking about you.
Hi back 👋 Who's asking about me?
We were wondering where you wwnt. Thats all
@@ckheffern Oh really? I've been uploading videos almost every day! I think TH-cam likes to hide my videos even from those who are subscribed. 😭
You think Sam’s falsetto is impressive here? Listen to Earned It/Man’s World/Falling to really blow your hair back
Well now it's ON!!! 😁👍🙌
@@MrsRealistic not to mention Ren is masterful on the guitar yet again and his rendition of Man’s World is a absolute must watch
@@matthayes2603 I absolutely love Man's world!
Here’s the video where the two first met and performed together.
th-cam.com/video/5CLas8s4u2k/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!! I'll have to check it out!!
Yeah , it's a cool version but the carpark version kills this imo
I did that one too... EPIC!!
Great reaction 👍. Please try Sam's CRITICAL or KING'S or MY BROTHER or LOSE IT ALL live 🍯🤌🎵🎶🔥🙏
Added! 😁👍
It’s hard to say which is the best rendition of this to react to - this is great and better in some ways, but then the busking version(s) and the angry car park attendant versions all have their own merit too.
I'm looking forward to seeing the angry car park attendant😁
