As a writer Ren is the love child of Bob Dylan’s social commentary and Leonard Cohens emotional intelligence with Jimmy Hendrix soul and Jim Morrison’s mystical reach with Tom Waits flair for authentic and raw eclectic vocalizations, Laurie Anderson’s genius for metaphysical mental performance and that brilliance of body language developed by Antoin Artaud in his Theatre Of the absurd! Generational talent is an understatement! An artist full of greatness, walking the razors edge of genius and madness, who articulates the human condition and human suffering like the painters Van Gogh and Francis Bacon! As so many reactors have broke down and exclaimed the genre is REN! This is what they said about Picasso. This is what we say about REN! I’m so blessed his emergence has come while I’m alive. We all are. At just the very beginning of our awareness of him and we already have the gifts of Hi Ren, The Tales, The Demos, Money Game Trilogy, Chalk Outlines, How to be Me, and Now OMFG Fred Again Mashup-already no less than 10 paradigm shifting masterpieces. And let’s not forget the brilliant Flex of Sic Boi! Viva Ren!!! Lets F’ing Go Ren! Don’t put that guitar down the future of music history is waiting on your every song!
You put it perfectly! He's so special and I doubt we'll see it ever again (while we're alive at least!)
I read a comment from another Renegade. Ren saw Fred Again live on his trip to Las Vegas and apparently he was "broken" when the line I've Been Lost was repeated over & over. It obviously struck a chord with him. (You should check out Fred Again's Tiny Desk Concert - mind blowing)
I hadn't heard this yet, be heartbreakingly wild if it's true.
That part of Ren's version is also what gets to me. I almost break every time. As I'm singing along.
Thank you! Yes, this song clearly affected him deeply!
@@webcrawler2007he mentioned it in a post on his Facebook page.
Fred again is a uk producer who has had many nunber 1 hits with some of the uks most influential singers. During the covid lockdown, he started doing his own stuff using emotional charged vocals that he found Internet, using them to produce beautifully emotional tracks, along with some bangers 😂. Fred and Ren both have a bit of a soft spot for D&B (drum and base), a unique jonera of UK dance music as well. This, for me is the most talented singer in the uk, showing his appreciation for Fred Agains work. As you so rightly pointed out, the Tiny Desk concert is just mind blowing. Being a fan of both, I knew the second I saw the title that I was I for a treat. Big love to you all ❤
Fred Again is a British EDM artist that got huge in Britain during covid. Ren is a huge fan and saw him in concert when he was in LA. He said when he played the song Angie which is the I've been lost part of the mash up Ren started crying uncontrollably in the middle of the song because it connected with him so deeply. He has a great BTS of him writing the song and shooting the video on his patreon page. He purposely did not monetize the video so he could put it out as quickly as possible to as many people as he could. He has 3 more videos done that should start coming out soon that are all re makes or Mashups. Then a full album of these types of songs followed by an album of collaborations. He already finished a new song with Chinchilla that both teased on their igs. Great reaction as always.
Oh I can't wait! 😁 Especially for the new ones with chinchilla! Thanks for the info on Fred Again!
2:25 The reason you, "Hear another guitar being played" is because Ren is playing with 2 fingers at the same time on his right hand. His pointer finger and his thumb. His thumb is playing the solo chord on its own which gives it the deeper DONG (similar to maybe a chello). His pointer finger is playing the rest of the notes giving the high pitched DINGing sound you hear.
Epic! He's so so so talented!
He said that one sentence, repeated over and over described perfectly the last 10+ years of his life.
Exactly what I thought as well 😞
55 but "ive been lost" get me every time cheers
I have as well...😞
If you notice he doesn't use a pic, he plucks the strings with his fingers. He can play/pluck two separate strings at the same time. His hand holding the neck is also using his thumb to hold down the thick/bass string along with his other busy fingers. So he can play a melody with one finger and the bass with the other finger. The finger picking is a different style because you need more working parts of the brain to keep track of different strings doing different things. A few guitarist commented they could never get the hang of finger picking or using their thumb on the fretboards. Besides his hands are big with long fingers making it possible to reach some serious cords.
Made more amazing because he's self-taught.
It's amazing! I could never do it (if I learned the guitar) because I have tiny hands ✋️ 😅
So emotional!! everything he does is Gold 💛
This was filmed in his apartment in Canada where he is still going through treatment.
Yes, I could see the Calgary tower behind him 😀
It’s the way Ren plays guitar. And, living far from friends and home.
IKR!! he is in Calgary right now (which is the backdrop for the video!!) getting more treatment for his Lyme disease and it is only an 11hr drive from where I am I just wanna go & give him a Big Hug....cheers from Canada❤🩹
Still can't quite get my head around he is from NW. ❤
you can tell when Ren is feeling it, he looks away for a second or two as if to gather himself
Yes, that's what I thought as well... had to fight back those tears to get back in check. 😞
“Cos there ain’t no love in the jungle”………looks out at the jungle. Ahhh REN, you beauty! Totally relate as I must spend 80% of time on my own, (in the jungle, (albeit a beautiful one) never thought I’d be in this situation at my age! Thank goodness for music!
And yes, totally agree, would love to be at one of his live shows!
He reaches everyone!
It's my new favorite Ren song. I can't stop listening to it. It's so good.
His runs were so lovely!
Just goes to show how talented this beautiful man is, to take EDM tracks and turn them into such an amazing cover. Just wow !
I'm starting to run out of words to react... but more and more I feel flooded with feelings!.... I suppose it's the REN effect.
What an ARTIST... and yes, with capital letters.
Thanks for the reaction.
Haha! Yes, it's tough because he's just so dang special... how many other words are there to use?
i just came home from watching the bob marley movie! and i walk into this! what a awsome night!
The Bob Marley movie?! No way!!
Fred Again is a British EDM artist producer and this is a Mash up of 5 of his tracks. Great reaction as usual 👍👏🔥🔥🙏✌️
Thanks so much! 😁
Mrs Realistic, your words, are so real, Ren Performance & your Reaction.. truly move me..
😊 thank you! That's so kind!
Great reaction ren pulling on everyone's heartstrings again love and respect from the UK 👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍
Thank you so much 😁
Phenomenal stuff, Ren just keeps coming up with these amazing performances. And do check out Fred Again's Tiny Desk concert it's a real gem.
I love Fred Again. Ren made this his own and brought something so soulful to an EDM artist that is a class of his own. Two geniuses in one has me over the moon.🌙
The first two times Ren sings the line "I've been lost for a while," he turns his head in the direction of the neon SickBoi logo, the camera shifts focus from Ren to the neon SickBoi. It is subtle but once you see it you can't unsee it and it is powerful.
Yeh i felt that my heart is aching 💔.. It's a beautiful mash up he made this his own. Ren has been having some heavy treatment and did did have a time of low blood pressure think from meds having tests done I believe. But he's still trying as he just told us... And been making new stuff. We all wish him the best for his health first ❤️✌️ thank you for sharing 👌
It has got to be a hard roller-coaster 😪
Ren, raises us all.
I always feel his music in my gut!
At 57 years old I’m still really trying. 🙏🏻🐷❤️🔥
I think we all are ❤️
Tears at my heart so much because I know he is still hurting. His legs really bother him for one, as he said in an interview. God only knows where else it is firing off on him.
I can only pray that he is healed 🙏
Loved this song and your reaction. Goran Kendal Ren's BP band mate is dropping a new song tomorrow 6 pm UK time.
Wonderful reaction to a superb mash up & homage to Fred Again with that added Magical “Ren” dust taking it to next level heart wrenching 🙏💔
It is..."Ren dust" is perfect!!
Thanks for the reaction . You might want to check out some of the work of Fred again that inspired Ren's piece. Fred again.. - Studio Live (London, April 2021) and his Tiny desk concert I think will give you a flavour of what this other talented person is capable of. Enjoy.
I will check it out thanks! 😁👍
Love this rendition and knew you would as well. This man, his beautiful voice and emtional connection and his guitar ... cannot be beat.
We're lucky to be on earth at the same time as he is!
I think, about 2 weeks ago, Ren had a bout with very low blood pressure so he wasn’t feeling well. He thinks it was from the new meds, but he is ok now. He is still in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He pulls on my heart strings every time! A beautiful mashup of EDM songs.
I wonder what meds he's on? I'm glad he's feeling better!
I loved this one...listened to a little of Fred Again...random selections...would like to hear some of what Ren mashedup... Thanks!
Fred Again is a UK artist/DJ/Producer. This is a mash up of 5 of his EDM (!) tracks : Jungle ; Delilah (Pull Me Out of This) ; leavemealone ; Clara (The Night is Dark) ; Angie (I've Been Lost)
Thank you 😊
I wake up humming different segments of this amazing performance, so deep and touching! Lovely reaction as well.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
All him I think, Fred is a UK singer, again is not his last name but h is known by that. He has a channel, look him up.
👍🎯 I ❤ all of Ren's live sets! He's amazing!😅😊
Ren setting the mood again beautifully. Very emotional for a lot of people, myself included. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Thanks! Yes, it was beautiful 🙌
Regarding his health,his body is stuck in flight or fight mode due to damaged adrenals,brain, thyroid and lord knows what else. Did you notice that he grabbed his knee at the end if the song because it was shaking? I think probably a rush of adrenaline after the emotional singing. It was fine the rest of the song.
I saw the bts of this on his Patreon. He did all the directing on this himself and Josh Stiles did the filming.
And, ahem... he looks really healthy without a shirt on.😂❤
I did notice that! Someone else had mentioned that in his other performances he moves his legs a lot to try to relieve the pain. He had talked about that in an interview I watched as well. I had a bit of info about the damage that had been done to him from the Lyme and I can only imagine what an enormous undertaking it is to treat it! Oh, and that sort clip he posted of him in the mirror talking about his gains in the gym...I had to put my phone away. 🤣
@@MrsRealistic 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Once his treatment plan is completed, I'm sure he will perform. It remains to be seen if he will see as much change as he would like. But you can see the change in him between the Justin Hawkins interview and the Zach Sang interview.But he still has not been able to expand his food choices. He takes 100 pills a day. Has MCAS and POTS. Looking up MCAS is a little unnerving.
ive been waiting for your reaction, i know we both love ren 🥰 i have cried everytime i have listened, i am on Rens patreon and he has had some health issues since getting back to Canada with low blood pressure which kept him in bed for a week or so
I pray it's back to normal! Blood pressure issues can really affect you!
Thanks for another REN-centered reaction ❤
Thank you too! 😊
Great reaction as always to Ren. This song tugs at my heart and soul.
Me too. 😭
❤❤❤❤😢😢😢❤❤❤
Awesome reaction!
Thank you!! 😁
LESSS GOOO
good on ya for not losing it as I did lose it❤
I had to control myself a little bit 😬
It may be Fred Agains words, perhaps even the melody as well!
But Ren now owns that series of words in my book!!!
Its Crazy to me how he and Ronnie Radke can reimagine a song Soooooo flippin dramatically!!!
It's mind-bending and so beautiful!
❤💙👌
Thanks for this one.
Thanks for listening!
Aye, I love that minstrel sound.
Other stuff like nursery rhymes or at the beginning if the trilogy, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen... but never gets to Tidings of Comfort and Joy.
Its always good to see n hear Ren, enjoyed this but not over enamoured with the song/songs but his vocal and guitar make it all sound good, videography was mint as well, great reaction as usual❤👌
Thank you 😊
Ren IS Music
Yes he is!
loved this
Thank you! 😁 🙏
Never heard of Fred again... looked them up... not my thing!
But Ren... this Cat could actually sing the phone book and make it a Hit!!!
Ain't that the truth?! I looked it up as well... didn't really hook me. Different strokes and all that, right?
@MrsRealistic Right... Speed (drugs!), dancing like zombies, lasers, and all that hype was never my thing!
Gimme 6 strings and a Marshall Amp anyday!!!! Lol
Or... just an acoustic guitar, some classic songs, and a bonfire with friends on a cool evening... Perfection!!!!!!!
Thanks Mrs R - if you want to check out something for comparison, a small channel (Mellifluousa) did this: "Ren’s Fred Again Mashup but with Fred Again’s original songs". It's bonkers how different Ren's version is. I'll try adding the link in a reply to my comment. Bonkers, I tell ya. 😜😉
th-cam.com/video/v7PMSa3kFTk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XnTTNjGHZNG1M6MN
Haha! Thanks!
❤❤
He's thumbing the bass
Amazing ♥️♥️🔥🔥
I just adore him 😊
Yes its all Ren- he is strumming an open top string as a BASS line - almost like playing 2 songs at once :) Even tho the bass line is simply single notes interspersed, it must be HARD to do.
That's crazy
The 5 Fred Again songs Ren mashed up:
Jungle
Delilah
Leavemealone
Clara
Angie
And also, it does not get much more poignant than Ren looking out at Calgary while singing the Angie lyrics "I've been lost".
I noticed the Calgary tower right away! 😊
😊
My husband plays guitar and I asked him, "how come you can't finger pick like Ren?". 😆. He gives me a dirty look and comes back with " how come you can't cook worth a sh!t?" 😂. I can cook decent, I just don't like to. Since the kids moved out years ago, it is fend for yourself in the kitchen.
😅 Well he took that as an attack now didn't he? 🫣 My hubby loves my cooking, but I HATE to cook. I do it out of sheer necessity with 3 kids and a hubby in the house. 🤣
🪽🤍🪽
Wie immer
I have no idea what that means lol!
Has you or hubby ever heard Monsters by James Blunt ...9 outta 10 men tear jerker..hard to find a video with more raw emotion and in vid is his real dad..would like to see his and your reaction
My hubby actually did that one!
Why do i feel like we are gonna loose him one day?
I certainly hope not until he is old and has lived a full life!
I saw this posted today and thought you might appreciate it. Someone put together the parts of the original Fred Again songs that Ren is referencing here in order. It's well worth checking out if just to see how Ren made them his own! Brilliant!
Here's the link:
th-cam.com/video/v7PMSa3kFTk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6ojhd1bzClxxwSPP
I gotta, say, Ren's is an entirely different level. I can't say I like the original much. 😬
He could have been dead😢😢😢
We're blessed he's here with us! 🙌
It's not for me but u all have a great night
Thanks Luke! You too! 😊
😊
