Everyone killed it on this one! Was a pleasure to have the privilege to capture it!
Beautiful work as always ❤
Very well done, Sam! Loving it!
👏🏼👏🏼 you all killed it❤
Good cam work brother. Best at it I swears
You are a hero too. Like per usual. Love you Sam!
When I show people Ren, they always seem to want to compare him to the best in that particular genre, which is already a compliment… but it’s the versatility that’s amazing. Take those bests and throw them into different situations. Like imagine Kanye trying to do this. Or one of the best guitarists trying to do Genesis. Impossible.
Nicely put!
Ren's musical talent is beyond any "boxy" definition, it has too many facets.
Just enjoy the RENexperience !
Word!
So true. I fell in a brief trap of thinking of Ren as a rapper... it only lasted a couple of days and the whole time all I could hear in the back of my mind challenging "rapper" was that his rapping is an instrument. He's either singing when rapping, or he's using rap like a drummer (a drummer using jazz techniques, but doesn't play jazz)
Yes yesss. I’m fairly sure genres were only so tightly defined and enforced in the past because streamlining them made music business & promotion more convenient for the labels, radio stations, etc. But it’s entirely unsurprising that a natural musician/performer with varied interests and influences would visit all of them within his body of work. And the synergy between the influences takes him to a different (and arguably, new) level. See: bringing musicality into rapping, and dropping a casual little rap section into a crooning performance 🥬
He isn't Ren ..I am Ren. He is simply the other Ren not the original.
Ren i am a 70yr old female i was hooked from the moment i saw Hi Ren. You are the once in a generation artist. I lived through Beatle mania and never thought a performer would ever me feel the way l did back then but you have done it. I wish you the best of luck in everything you do.
And he looks like he's having fun doing it😊
@@Matt-ew8up love it when he looks Happy 😊
@jacqui114 I meant to say. I love the video and he looks happy making music.
@@Matt-ew8up 💯 that's what keeps some people going .
Class Ren Class 👏
Y’all ever go back through Ren’s stuff just to make sure you didn’t forget to hit “like” on everything?
I do now
Yesssss
That's me!! :)
And if you watch reaction videos to Ren, also hit the like button. People representing and building support without needing corporate interference. Just like the punk scene. Taking back control.
I go back through REN’s stuff because it’s better each time I listen . But I definitely feel you on the double check. I would not want to fail to hit the “ like”
This is what you get when you care more about making music than making it.
And because people can feel that passion, Ren is making it too. Congratulations, man. You deserve every bit of it.
EXACTLY❤
I'm pretty sure you are describing The Grateful Dead and this kid pales in comparison to everyone.
Facts
@@Maureen.EccentricEclectic what's wrong with you?
Exactly 💯!
Beautiful blend with Ren and the female vocalists. Wow, Message in a Bottle needs a full retake cover. ❤
I thought the same. The minute he started that, amazing.
Yes! His voice is perfect for that song ❤
Same same! Definitely recommend a retake as well. Teach todays younger generation about songs that has deeper meaning behind the lyrics. We do not need a whole song on 1 chorus over and over.. you can actually tell a story with more than say - 10 words. 😂
I agree 💯 absolutely breathtaking.
Yes, 1000x times yes. And if possible with all his pals from The Big Push!
I accidentally went down this rabbit hole 6 or 7 months ago watching Hi Ren. Im staying in this rabbit hole forever. Ren, you are a genres, a genius and people will be studying you 150 yrs ago from now, just like Shakespeare.
ditto. "Hi Ren" blew my mind. subsequent Ren rabbit holes continue to amaze and inspire.
🔥 this needs more views. No mainstream artist is doing what Ren is doing
Strongly agree
💯
Lol, since I basically have it on repeat and am listening to it constantly, I think I am single handedly raising the views. I wish it was on Amazon Music.
Right??? I watch the performances on repeat and get another arrow to the soul when I hear just the audio. It's been decades since a new artist has dug into me so deeply and in every way.
No mainstream artist could do what Ren does. Literally in a league all on his own
Everyone killed it on this, especially the ladies Sylvia & Scarlett. Lovely voices ladies.
Thank you for putting their names!
Isn’t that the Lady’s that did that song Karma for the series of True Blood 🩸 back in the day because they sure do remind me of them and REN is magnificent ❤
Thank you for the names. Truly some of the best I've heard, ever.
This is so special. I got married in '74. Just had my 50th anniversary. (I'm 74 now as well!). Love it so much. "Where did it all go?"
Love this ♡
All the best 🌘🦋🌼 greetings from Manchester England
Very cool! That's alot of 74s! Best wishes from the pacific northwest of the U.S. 🎉
In my oppinion 70s was best decade. Keep well.
My dad is 74. Hope you are in a good place my friend ❤
I’m starting to suspect that if someone were to record Ren asleep in bed and snoring that it would still be musically brilliant.
Perfect rhythmic snores 😂
Someone please do this
Your comment made me laugh out loud. 😂 Funny coz it’s probably true. 🫶🫶
Even funnier, because somehow we KNOW he snores. maybe I've come across him mentioning, but I doubt it.
I know he snores. Not always, but often.
I feel that in many ways The Ren Snore concept album would change music as we know it, opening whole new understanding of natural rhythm and sounds (at least to most English speakers)
Best way to keep ahead of AI music, is to embrace all our perfect human "imperfections" - the more I laugh at this idea the more it makes sense. Nothing more vulnerable and human than our snores😅😂❤ @@sheryljones589
Ok, I'll do it, lol
Bass player took us all on a trip. He fkin nailed it. The backing singers are to die for and they have voices of angels.
Cracking song, I love it 👍
everything you touch turns to gold, you look gorgeous Ren.
he does
I agree.
You magnificent bastard! You did it again :D
Couldn't have said it better. 've been following my guy from the start and I'm just so thrilled to see him get the love his incredible difference deserves.
well said
he did it again yeah
The three vocalists are stellar but the bassist; man, he has perfected the look, the rhythm and the vibe; nothing is more cool than this dude.
Very Dexy's geno look
Kai is a vibe, I tell you!! Love him!!
I have hemroids that are cooler than that 😂
Used to rap for Peter Kay😆😆th-cam.com/video/U0optP8HoWo/w-d-xo.html
Found the Bassists mother :D
(Wife speaking) I am a 38 year old woman, living in Idaho. I wasn't alive to see The Beatles take the world by storm but that's how I feel about Ren's music.. his stage performances when he makes a video.. And kudos to your camera man! He's amazing!
Couldn't agree more. As a 26 year old female born and raised in Spain, had a lot of good music influence from my parents thankfully but never got to have the pleasure to live in that era, but Ren makes up for it with such grace. 👌🏻
I feel it too.. 40, here and feel like I'm witnessing musical history. Something very special and HUGE is unfolding w/Ren... It's beyond exciting:)
I'm 3283 years old. We were talking about Ren while waiting for the red sea to part
Hah yep ppl like to out themselves
Great retro vibe this ~ can attest having graduated high school at 17 in 74
The joy Ren shows when he performs is palpable. It's so raw and pure it's intense. When Ren performs you could hear a pin drop. The versatility is astounding. The compliments could go on for hours seriously!!
I guess we will see if he feels the same way in a couple of years.
@@nopepunx1981 I personally feel music is in his blood and that will never leave him.
My thought precisely. He's escaped the violent demons infesting the last album, and it's heavenly.
@@elysabethpoodle6234 we can only hope. I'm a musician and I have played with a lot of people and I have heard some of them say it can be hard getting on stage night after night playing the same thing over and over. On the road away from your family. It's not as glorious as it looks. It's a really hard job. Mind you, our biggest crowd was only a couple hundred but that's a punk band for you.
@@nopepunx1981 Oh ok that makes sense what you're saying. I love listening to music but have no musical talent so that didn't dawn on me. I hope esp after what Ren has been through and the fact he has said music got him through his illness that this doesn't happen to him.
The most talented artist alive …….. period.
The police is alive and he’s copying them. They’re still alive
That's a lot to say about someone. Not true, but good none the less
@@nopepunx1981I listened to so many different artists. And I think that Ren may be the best currently. Not of all time, but right now, definitely.
Best arranger of pop music alive - Andrew Lloyd Webber vibes + George Gershwin virtuosity.
@@Thomas_Davies128 I really miss his older stuff. I feel like a lot of times when artists get famous they lose what made them so good. Not saying anything bad about him personally just his music seemed more raw when he was younger.
Beside that this is just so classy and absolute fire, the best bit is seeing the absolute joy on Ren’s face. The smile says it all 🫶
As a 59 year young dutch girl 😝, i fell into the Ren rabbit hole in oktober 2023. I can't let go. Every time Ren surprises me. And every Ren song i come across, is my new favorite.
Fighting against becomming an obsession....big hug and love to you Ren. You're awesome..❤❤
I reckon it’s a pretty healthy addiction
@@pointlesslab4179 yess it is....😁
The best obsession you could ever have.
Forget it. Don't fight it. Just let it happen.
@@Hexenkind1 i affraid i'm to far gone already indeed. 😁
Have "power" by Ren on my phone as my ringtone. And every time my phone rings, i don't want to pick up because i want to hear the song...🙈
Thank fuck for youtube for giving us the chance to stumble across ren. Blown everyone away yet again. Respect Ren. Thankyou again.
I stumbled across him through tiktok. It's a shame they're gonna take that away from us.
I wonder if us old people who experience the qualities of the '60s such as the Beatles recognized that Ren is super special. Friend, your music is outstanding. You are brilliant and give me so much pleasure.
Ren kills it in the cougar demo. I’m 65
I absolutely love how Ren makes each and every artist here have their shinning moment feel just as big and special a part of the songs as REN’s himself is. Like you can just see the joy and happiness on his face when the other artists take over to do a small bit in the song ….. I love that. Ren you are the sweetest and most special guy around !
This might not be popular but I don't get all the fuss with Ren, to me he is just the same as every other artist that sings, sings soul, sings reggae, raps, beatboxes, plays guitar, plays piano, tells amazing stories, performs live, acts, produces one shot videos, makes their own beats, makes me cry.
P.S. Love you, Ren.
Here's an idea. Let them be them and you keep on doing you. It's all good. Peace. 😘
I just love this comment :D
Just like any other artist who (...) yeah, the bottom line is he's the only one who ticks ALL the boxes here, seems to be gone over some heads 😂
@@F3zza i think you missed the joke there champ
hilarious... glad I kept reading :)
Prince and Bowie are watching from the spirit realm, furious that they didn't last long enough to collab with you.
Hi Ren, just want you to know, that Danish X-Factor used 2 of your songs as a background interlude, the moment when they presents/talks about an contender, songs used are "Hi Ren" and "Ready for You", thought that was kinda cool🤟
Well they owe money then
👀
he'll be registered with BMI or ASCAP publishing and he'll get notified his songs were used and will get paid ...
Very cool indeed!
Very cool 😁❤️
As a detroit boy born and bred if ren ever made a motown album i would leave this earth a happy man ren just has that soulfull motown voice
Ren!!! At 4:21 you CAPTURED pure sting essence!!! This was a thrill to listen to even before you paid tribute. Sending good vibes your way 🤙
64 yo Renegade here, I think this is my favorite but I say that every time he drops a new song. Magnificent job Ren. You are the artist I’ve been waiting 30 years for! ❤
Me too I'm 67. Love the man.
Me too. 67 👍🏴
@@susanwearn2617 me too ! Renegades 🇬🇧💜
The fact that Ren can boss every single genre he decides to choose is phenomenal. A real true talent. Nuff respect🤘
Straight facts👏👏👏
@@RaversDoItWithEeeeeeees💯
Modern day Carlos Santana 🥳
"That's a shout out with an awkward.... pause". Genius. Pure genius.
Ren Does it AGAIN......cant lose with this intelligent Savant.
I think he’s gathering quite a volume of 50-something fans. I’ve been obsessed since I saw his viral Bittersweet Symphony. Can’t quite believe how versatile and multi skilled he is. Phenomenal.
I'm 64 and listen to him every chance I get.
I'm 67 and I lovevthe man. He's such a great artist. All brits should be very proud of what he's doing for the British music scene. But there is only one ren.
just caught the Nas shout out ! "The world is yours . That's a Nas shout out with an awkward pause". I've never seen anyone else catch that.😁 Amazing track!
“That’s a Nas shout out with an awkward… pause!”
So freakin cool!
Big love, bro!
Bro I only just realised this, idk if it was a happy accident or if Ren teased the Nas retake coming up with this bar 😅👀
I can’t even. This is sublime. Your one take videos help us feel like we are there with you, feels like you’re all playing off the cuff. The joy in your face as you perform is magical and contagious ♥️ thank you !!
Absolutely love it. Brilliant Ren
In polish "message in a bottle" sounds like "nie stać cię na baton" which means "you can't afford a chocolate bar" so it's pretty funny for us
Have a nice day people ❤
Toblerone is expensive
😂😂😂
nice 😄
@@oistroplex yes IT IS 😂😂😂
I've never heard that before, but that's all I can hear now :) a bit like "kaszanka" in Champions League anthem
You are the first musician in my 60 years on this earth to make me laugh, scream, and succumb to the beautiful vagaries of life. Well done.
the different genres of music that this man can touch is WILD. ive heard his marley, his rap, his nursery rhymes, his sea schantys, his rock and roll, his RNB, his jazz...this man has studied everything
A fucking masterpiece
Is this anybody else's favorite thing by Ren? I love everything he does but damn this is sleek
There are no words except: "Wow", "Modern Beethoven" and, "An unrecognised genius and warrior within our midst". All Hail Ren! Blessings upon u and him. Until the end of time. Our souls lie enlightened beyond the rim (JMS Babylon 5) 💫
pure art
I'm in love, addicted, flabbergasted and speechless... ❤
you know, with your music you reverse natural processes, which means that when a person eats, for example, he or she eventually gets full, but with you it's exactly the opposite. The longer I listen to you, the more hungry I am for your music.
Ha literally!
Incredible ❤
Magic
I feel like I have just had my brain massaged, This is one of the best arrangements I've heard, the switches are seemless. Beautiful!!!
That's exactly how I'm feeling about this.....I just wouldn't have ever been able to put it into your very words!!!!😉
I thought the same!
So you like Sting? That's all this was for me except Ren is hotter than Sting. Boomer music
@nopepunx1981 yes I like sSting, but trust me, there is a lot more in this. The soulmate in the beginning, the rap in the Sting at the end. He is talented beyond anything that I have seen in my generation.
@@rickyfrost8352 he is very talented. I agree. I just like his own music. I get artists sample, but Ren sounds better doing his original stuff. In my personal opinion.
The Zelda line is so underrated! Anyone that remembers the original Lengend of Zelda knows Link used to jab his sword! (The motion) How does Ren know this! He's either just a genius or im convinced hes a alien 👽 😂
He played all the video games and probably mastered them as well. He puts those tidbit thoughts away for future music.
@@kellyt5341 Yep! ❤️
Holy shit, his voice sounds identical to Sting! That is just incredible! The backup singers were awesome as well! PROPS!
I love this too!
Wtf!!!!🤯🤯🤯❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏
Okay so I just heard "Animal Flow" being used in a Mitsubishi ad here in Australia......
I saw someone post that commercial in the fan club facebook page so cool!
Haha yes sir you did! 😅 It's awesome!
Seriously thats incredible!
@@becbrown212 Also i saw a new GAP advertisement with " back on 74" as the music in the background 😂 It wasn't Ren's take, but I wonder who the person was responsible for bringing that song back🤔🤣 Coincidence? I think not
th-cam.com/video/QPCPnQpGUOQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JOGO6Eq3HeuIILeJ
Seeing a genuine smile from Ren just hits when you think about just over a year ago, dropping Hi Ren and shipping over to Canada for treatment, now with a #1 album and over a million subs on youtube. Beautiful, man.
The way you combined these to repurpose the messages and tie them all together with the present is fucking mind-blowing. Thank you for being so damn good at communicating an emotional perspective through music, it’s the closest I think we can get to magic. It changes people.
Dude this is like buttery smooth. You are truly so unique keep on keeping on my guy
I can’t stop listening to this on repeat for over a month now
Absolutely Amazing!!!
I love everything about this performance. It was so perfect. The singers, the bass guitarist. Thanks to Ren for his genius, and the fabulous film makers. ❤❤❤
SO. Fucking. Dope.
Really sounds amazing, and the little bit of Police was just perfect.
Goosebumps! 😃
Genius
Absolutely just the best… I am an old boy now but when you stumble accidentally across talent like this it’s life affirming… love it…
Ren, you are just so damned talented. And your band is fantastic. You make an old man happy.
This lad is unreal could listen to him all day...
51 and I fell into the Ren Rabbit hole early last year. Another Masterpiece Ren...Great Fkn job man.
Thanks ren I am old enough to remember the 70s well. You always drag me back from the dark
Hope your well.❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏴
Yay!!! So glad to see Ren continuing in his creativity! So so talented. I hope Ren takes time to be proud of how far he’s come!
GO GO REN GO 🤌🏻
This gets better every time I hear it.
Can’t get enough of this. Even more appreciation of it after watching the BTS on REN’s Patreon. Mind blowing!! 🔥🔥🔥
Nailed it!! ❤
I suddenly started longing for a Rendition of the 400 year old song bij Dowland ‘Can she excuse my wrongs’ that Sting did on TH-cam with an amazing Lute player.
I imagine Ren having a really interesting, modern take on both the singing and guitar riffs and it would be bardcore compatible too!!!
It is my hope that respect for you continues to grow and grow because you so deserve the recognition. What an absolute star you are Ren. Exquisite, engaging, exciting, eloquent, enticing, excellent. ❤
This somehow brings me so much peace and joy. Encapsulates some kind of strange sense of nostalgia in me even though I'm born in 90s.
That was the 70s vibe.
he is a brilliant genius ❤
I'm 48, I've been just annoyed by most music since the 90s. Almost everything I here by you gives me chills. You are a true artist, I do appreciate what you have done for my care of the next generation of music. Even if they all suck I could happily just loose myself in your works. Truly, thank you
Ren and PostModernJukebox - MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Ren, you gotta do some music with PMJ, they can do any style, you can do any style, it would be insane.
I can only imagine how this would be with the full theater type set up that PMJ can do. Stuff of dreams
I've watched this about 40 times now and I just realized I didn't leave a comment. Yes this is so good it makes you forget about everything.
I know 😂 I might watch it for another 40 🔥
Retake on repeat ❤
Love this and can’t stop listening to it.
Did anyone else notice this could have been filmed on location in Twin Peaks at the Lodge? I keep thinking Laura Palmer and Mike are there just off camera . 😂
This is my favorite mash up so far. I can’t wait for the next one !
Fireeeeeeeee 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great mashup as always! musicality is on top!
I love that Ren is not pigeon holed into one box and isn't afraid to take big swings with his musical abilities. Keep em comin'.
This is AMAZING, love everything about it!
Love the fact that everyone in the comments are all just saying great things about the music and nobody has tried to just put the lyrics down there it’s all love around here
You can be first😄
REN REN REN REN REN REN REN WTH IS THIS REN? HOW COULD YOU BE SO GOOD REN? REN REN PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR YOUR MUSIC REN REN YOU'RE INCREDIBLE REN A TRUE GENUINELY GENIUS FELLA REN LOVE FROM INDIA 🇮🇳
Can we please get this on Spotify Ren!?!
This man really can do any genre
So damn good.
When i discovered ren early 2023 i was still living in France and had a hard time sharing my love for him, as french people don't speak English very well. But now i moved back to Holland i can finally spread his work amongst fellow dutch people and it brings me so much joy to see the look in there eyes as they listen to hi ren, and then see them slowly turn into renegades ❤❤❤❤
I’ve been following you since “hi ren.” Man you’re having me more and more convinced you sold your soul to the devil for that amazing talent. You’re becoming phenomenal. Can’t wait to see where you go from here.
So good. I‘m a 49 years Old German and i love all of the Ren Stuff
REN we NEED this on Spotify
How proud are u that king dotta reviews your stuff. That’s how u handle beef. Kill ‘em with kindness ❤️
Absolutely love this 👌🏼
Ren shares everything. Himself, the talent that works with him and the work he puts out. Even in the rap section he tags Jungle (massive), the group that did this originally. He's a man of the age and its a privilege to be a witness. Like many Renegades I'm in my 60's and have seen many musical talents, Ren is right up there with the very best of them.
love it
This music has saved my life and helped me to rediscover the person I thought I lost not just that but it's given me the desire to expand and discover more of just who I can still become....also it is great for profiling people who I meet that just may not be on my level. Real time saver and potential for preventative maintenance as boundaries have been a huge theme in my life. Keeps out the riff Raff if played constantly around those certain types that may just not have the greatest intentions as often as they seem to feel it's necessary to constantly repeat ..... Thanks ren for being u. So thankful to be alive at this time to exist and be alive at the same time as the greatest artist alive is such an absolute highlight of my entire existence. Whether or not he's A I. I still couldn't have survived the last year with out this sexy and all around brave strong and down to earth one of a kind soul. Glad he's willing to allow us to be so involved in his journey. \m/=^_^= \m/
💯
