The 'overlapping voices' are called 'canon perpetuus'. That's when voicibg sing the same melody, but starting at different times. Perfectly done by The Big Push.
An epitaph to mankind. 🪦 SWAN SONG “What do you see with the eyes in your head? Pitiful struggle, or are you content? Fear and anger so garishly clothed, resignation and ignorance tied up in bows A king to a pauper, a sad wizened clown A joke an' a punchline, people all 'round Rose-tinted glasses and no-one is sane A big waltzing blindfold, we are what we play We are what we play, and nothing is sane What can he hear with his ears in his hands? Her silently weeping, his head in the sand Patiently lurking in water in wine, he'll drown by her tears, or choke on his time For what we've forsaken and taken too soon Before murdering old mother, we'd dance on the moon Deaf to the thunder that silently cracks, we're holding our breath until her collapse What do you feel with your heart in your chest? Some few thousand years, could soon come to rest Do you feel the butcher? The bullet that bores With corkscrewing chaos and mighty a roar What do you feel with your heart in your chest? Some few thousand years could soon come to rest On the shoulders of man and his bag full of bombs Bell tolling destruction our final swan song.”
@@Silkytoaster You are very welcome. I don’t know who wrote this, I’m afraid. I would like to know that, and also which church this was performed in; so if anyone knows … 😊
I love this song too. They are a choir of 3. That's called a Melodica. I reallt love What Kinf of Woman is This. It's a cover done also by Henrix,Hendrix, WTers and Buddy Rich.
Ren seems to be a magnet for amazingly talented people and he said in his defining success video that a "rising tide lifts all ships" and he hopes for same success for everyone. He's a lovely humble lad and I hope he doesn't change
A beautiful folk song written by Gorran, I believe. Love this song and hope my descendants dance on another planet but not being from billionaire’s family, I doubt it. Scary. Great reaction. Thanks ❤
You haven't shown up in my thread for a while so I came looking. I love this. I think you will love Ren's 2 latest mashups/retakes. Fred Again Mashup is a gorgeous take on 5 EDM tracks. Then Back On '74/Message In A Bottle is a sign of how mature Ren is becoming. Please react to them SOON
My favorite of theirs is Wade in the Water/Trouble so Hard/Nina Simone. It’s spectacular and it’s also live. If you love the overlapping voices, you’ll really like their cover of Boots are made for walking/satisfaction/everybody. :)

This song sounds so timeless.... could be from medieval times.....1800s....1970s.... or current times. Its incredible 😊💜💜
Three voices, an acoustic guitar, and a melodica. And so much beauty.
An epitaph to mankind. 🪦
SWAN SONG
“What do you see with the eyes in your head?
Pitiful struggle, or are you content?
Fear and anger so garishly clothed, resignation and ignorance tied up in bows
A king to a pauper, a sad wizened clown
A joke an' a punchline, people all 'round
Rose-tinted glasses and no-one is sane
A big waltzing blindfold, we are what we play
We are what we play, and nothing is sane
What can he hear with his ears in his hands?
Her silently weeping, his head in the sand
Patiently lurking in water in wine, he'll drown by her tears, or choke on his time
For what we've forsaken and taken too soon
Before murdering old mother, we'd dance on the moon
Deaf to the thunder that silently cracks, we're holding our breath until her collapse
What do you feel with your heart in your chest?
Some few thousand years, could soon come to rest
Do you feel the butcher? The bullet that bores
With corkscrewing chaos and mighty a roar
What do you feel with your heart in your chest?
Some few thousand years could soon come to rest
On the shoulders of man and his bag full of bombs
Bell tolling destruction our final swan song.”
Thanks..
Who wrote this song ? - thanks for the lyrics too😊
@@Silkytoaster I believe it was Gorran, he is in the middle playing guitar. I assume the whole group contributed to the lyrics though.
@@Silkytoaster You are very welcome.
I don’t know who wrote this, I’m afraid. I would like to know that, and also which church this was performed in; so if anyone knows … 😊
@@MsCheesemonster13 the church is St. Bartholomews church in Brighton
Yes, and Gorran as lead is the perfect voice for this.
Most versatile band I have ever seen. Love them. The lyrics are very sad and powerful.
This was their first "live" recording, so raw and perfect. My fav is "sweet little lady" the acoustic version.
Top reaction 👍👍 yeah what a song looking forward to the next yep more big push.... what kind of woman is this ✌️
They are singing their Eulogy to Humanity on Earth.
Perfectly harmonized, perfectly performed, perfectly layered, perfectly and uniquely covered! Perfectly reacted to by you and your trained ear❤🎉
I think you would like their mashup of "These Boots Are Made For Walking/Satisfaction/Everybody". Each one of them sings a solo part.
I love this song too. They are a choir of 3.
That's called a Melodica.
I reallt love What Kinf of Woman is This. It's a cover done also by Henrix,Hendrix, WTers and Buddy Rich.
Omg! I love this song. One of my favorites!!❤
I love everyone's faces when they first see Ren with the melodica. 😂
I know right ?😊
Ren was playing a melodica
Beautiful
The handy thing with having Ren in a group that loves to harmonise, is that he can sing high, or low and everything in between. :)
Yeah,he has a really wide vocal range. Ofcourse,like all of us,he is stronger in some areas of his range,but still pretty impressive
Such a beautiful song! Their voices blend so nicely! The instrument Ren was playing is a melodica. Great reaction ❤❤
Beautiful Reaction to a beautiful song ❤️👌
Love your reaction.The Big Push are one of those bands that are exploding with talent
Find the concert in Sept 22 at the Brighton Dome. Their last one. So many tracks. Watch Out, Precious. Etc.
If you want another cool original song from The Big Push, go with "It's Alright". Not exactly like this, but it's very cool.
Bongo Bong is a good one
❤so beautiful, and to think that these are the same guys who performed Paint it Black and War Pigs.😉❤️
Ren seems to be a magnet for amazingly talented people and he said in his defining success video that a "rising tide lifts all ships" and he hopes for same success for everyone. He's a lovely humble lad and I hope he doesn't change
This to me is one of the best pieces of work that these three have put out. I knew you would be blown away. Nice reaction. Thanks. Kia kaha from NZ
Wow...love these guys amazing vocals and of course Ren doing his thing on the Melodica.just amazing..thanks appreciate you.❤
Dignity and Precious r my fave big push songs
Praise you as well
These boys r all so talented! Great reaction my friend xx
A beautiful folk song written by Gorran, I believe. Love this song and hope my descendants dance on another planet but not being from billionaire’s family, I doubt it. Scary. Great reaction. Thanks ❤
Have you done sweet little lady there's official vid and live version both brilliant 👍❤️✌️
Just beautiful!
So beautiful ❤
Great Reaction. So good you reacted to this.

Check out their cover of Fatboy Slim’s Praise You

You probably won't see this... But I know you'll love The Big Push's "Bongo Bong".
Listen to their song All My Heroes, the studio version is best 😁
❤🎶
That HARMONY! 😏❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥💯 Watch Out (video) is CUTE as can be! ESPECIALLY if you have kids!😏✌️
The live performance (red braces/suspenders) is a million times better than the video! :)
"Not a deep song"??? What were you listening to because it can't have been Swan Song?
It’s a weird track - like an old welsh ballad.
