    "There's nothing valuable about perfection in art." Thanks for saying that so eloquently. Subbed.

    Fred again is a British EDM artist. Fred was Ren’s favorite artist last year and actually just won a Grammy. Ren took 5 different Fred again songs and pieced them together seamlessly in this acoustic mashup. He poured so much emotion into the performance, especially at the end.
    His friend Josh Stiles filmed the video and did a great job! Ren was very involved in setting up the angles and the flow of the camera work. Ren has so much attention to detail. The setting was meaningful - this is Ren’s apartment in Calgary where he’s been getting treatment for over a year. So it makes the “I’ve been lost for so long, but I’m really trying” lines even more impactful as he glances out at the Calgary skyline so far from home.
    Yesterday Ren released a video on his Patreon showing how he did the mixing. He does all of his own post production work. The vocals were left relatively raw intentionally. As you pointed out, it adds so much to the performance.
    Ren will be releasing a lot of new music this year! I’m excited

      Something that stood out to me in that glance over his shoulder is how it echoed some of his performances with The Big Push on the roof of his apartment in Brighton. I don't know. It's hard to put into words, but it created even more distance for me, a greater sense of being lost.

    @krikat3485 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Ren said he changed up the beat intentionally in that one spot. He doesn’t seem to do anything by accident, and is extremely diligent in the sound mixing of his songs, which are usually done by him alone.

    @docdurdin 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +26

    When Ren is being emotive, he cuts right to the soul. Fred makes EDM dance music with emotive songs blended in. Ren took cuts from somgs that he liked and mashed them into this work.

    @agatopol 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

    I totally agree with you - the mere concept of "perfect" art is oxymoron for me. A machine can make a perfect object, but art is
    subjective, open for interpretation.
    An actor will never be able to be the same in a play or a musician to hit the same note twice and that's the beauty of it.
    Ren's live performances are my favorite!
    Great reaction, thank you!

    @Shiroar 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    The interesting thing is that Ren is absolutely a perfectionist and wants every detail exactly right. Just think about how many takes he will take to get a live one shot video right (I think his record was 183 for Money Game part 1 😅). However, Ren understands that perfection can mean raw and vulnerable because that is what makes it resonate so strongly with other people and makes it so valuable as art. Perfectly imperfect. Also just obvious from these live recordings that he refined his art on the street busking. Ren makes music for people. And who else can take EDM tracks and mash them up into such an emotional performance? Ren is special.

  • @yilomina2047
    @yilomina2047 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Good to see you reacting to more Ren, and this was a beautiful one to choose. I don't know how, but I seem to love it more each time I hear it!

  • @RobertAustin-l4p
    @RobertAustin-l4p 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Nice reaction, pretty accurate and yea I feel the same as previous comments Ren feeling a little melancholy on his recovery journey. Missing his mates and his Mom. I imagine so much support with his fans that he would never accept.He projects so much emotion makes everyone feel like so much more then just a fan !
    I hope he is just getting started because I see nothing but good in his heart ! Looking forward to Thursday he is releasing Message in a bottle " cover" .

  • @sunshynff
    @sunshynff 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Hey there, LOVED this reaction, even though our musical tastes don't always align, when they do, I really enjoy your reactions. Not to gush, but I think there's often more negativity in the comment sections than positive, so I like to balance it out when I can......
    There are very few reactors, I mean I can maybe count them on one hand, that I never fast forward through their commentary/pauses, and you are definitely one of them. Your ability to describe the intricacies of a performance, and point out the human nature, and subtle nuances that make an artist or their ability special or noteworthy are astounding, it's like having an itch you can't scratch, then hearing you're assessment is like being handed the worlds best back scratcher...lol, it's truly a gift that most don't possess. That's not even getting into the philosophical wisdom you impart at times that has less to do with music, simply just the human experience, so kudos my good man, please keep doing what you're doing, you have no idea how you positively affect some of us out here.
    Oh yeah, I'm pretty good at reading people (27yrs as a paramedic) and have seen enough of your reactions I'm pretty confident with two suggestions for Ren songs, whether you react to them or listen on your own, I think you will really enjoy them.....
    "Humble" - Ren featuring Eden Nash (female singer w/ amazing Island/calypso sounding voice), there's only one video, lyric video, the thumbnail has pink background.
    "Bongo Bong" (Manu Chao cover) - The Big Push (sans the drummer) This is the band Ren is in, live performance on a rooftop, great harmonizing, a verse in French, and a ukulele is involved, what's not to love!!? Only one video for it, thumbnail shows Ren holding a guitar.
    Ok, enough of my rambling, too much coffee too early, take care! ✌💚

    The song covers in this mash-up are from the Fred Again music catalog
    (( UK Artist/DJ/Musician/Producer ))
    Ren's mash up is comprised of the main hooks from these EDM tracks by Fred Again. This acoustic performance by Ren makes it an outstanding stand alone piece.🤯
    - Jungle🔥
    - Delilah (pull me out of this)🔥
    - leave me alone🔥
    - Clara (the night is dark)🔥
    - Angie (I’ve been lost)🔥
    The city skyline view is from Ren's flat in Calgary, where he's been receiving treatment for the damage that his Lyme disease caused.
    Here’s what Ren wrote about Fred Again:
    “We went and watched Fred in LA back in October, toward the part of his set he played Angie (I've been lost) and the simplicity but power of that one repeated line pretty much broke me and I remember breaking down in the middle of a crowd of people. Something so simple pretty summed up the last 10+ years of my life and explained everything in a sentence. Music is fucking magic for that.
    Big big love to @fredagainagainagain for making wicked music!”.

    "There is nothing valuable about perfection in art." It really makes me miss vinyl records -- the crackle and other noises are unique to vinyl -- you can't smooth it out in post, because "post" IS imperfect. Physical is different than digital, and live is different from auto-tuned. Great reaction. More Ren, please.

    Ren is perfectly Imperfect. Those impefections he leaves in the songs and perfomances add a layer to the song and without them we would connect less with a "perfect" song.

    @francesdoll4039 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Glad to see you back. Love your analysis. Just watched the BTS on this ! Great to see the process. Ren added no guitar or voice to whst he recorded. He did use several EQ programs and reverb programs to add depth or "sparkle" yo areas. I loved how he took off reverb on voice to create intimacy and then added it to create ambience.
    I believe this was experts from 5 Fred Again songs with Fred's lyrics. Ren said the "Ive been lost " lyrics made him cry during the concert he attended because it perfectly described the last 10+ years of his life. He sure did a great job turning edm into an emotional Rollercoaster. I love this song. Over and over again❤😂❤

  • @patrickm6539

    I have seen many (in the truest sense of the word) reactions to this song and yours stood out as one of the best, your professional experience gives your reaction a different quality... what you say about the inperfect quality of these performances is so true, first one of your reactions I have seen but subbed of this alone, keep it up man 👍

    My favorite moment in this video is at the very end when he has to put his hand on his knee to steady his body. It's like he has to physically stop the music from coming out! 🎶Idk why but it makes me super emotional. Ren IS music!❤
    Big up to Josh Stiles for the amazing camera work 🔥🔥

    I always love your commentary and your professional take on Ren's music. When an artists mind leaves the body while performing and then 100% of the song comes from that body, perfection is the antithesis to that. I rarely see that in artists.

  • @gcarap
    @gcarap 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Fred Again is an EDM artist that has deeper lyrics than 99% of that genre. The 5 songs Ren mashed up:
    Jungle
    Delilah
    Leavemealone
    Clara
    Angie

  • @MissMeKate
    @MissMeKate 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Ren has a new live cover (back in 74/Message in a Bottle) coming this Thursday.
    Romain and Gorran have both got new songs out too, and they released an unseen The Big Push song. So you have lots of stuff to catch up on it you're wanting to dip a toe back into the rabbit hole. 😊

    "Fred again" is a EDM artist and this song is a mashup of 6 different songs of Fred again.
    There exists a Tiny Desk concert of Fred again. I recommend having a listen. It is great and it puts into perspective how much Ren has adapted those songs to fit for a classic guitar. It is brilliant 😂
    Glad to have you back 😊

    Ren Fred again mashup lyrics and song titles
    [Jungle]
    Sailin' in the chopper road killin' like we vultures
    I became a queen when I rode with them brothers
    Turned to, turned to, turned to lion I eat nightmares for supper
    Brraap Brraap on command I'll sick em' on another
    'Cause there ain't no love in the jungle
    Ain't no, no, no, no
    Ain't no, no, ohh
    Ain't no love in the jungle
    Ain't no, no, no, no
    [Delilah (pull me out of this)]
    Pull me out of this
    [leavemealone]
    Everybody on a little mission mission
    Money makes a go go missin' missin'
    I get anyone in an instant instant
    Everybody everybody everybody leave me alone
    Her boobies gettin' lifted lifted
    She wanna get lit lit lit lit
    Fuckin' and battlin' and battlin' and battlin'
    Everybody everybody everybody everybody
    Everybody everybody everybody
    Leave me alone alone alone
    Leave me alone alone alone
    Leave me alone alone alone
    Leave me alone
    [Clara (the night is dark)]
    Courage my soul
    It won't be very long
    Though the night is dark
    It keeps me holding on
    God bless my soul
    It won't be very long
    And though the night is dark
    It keeps me holding on
    [Angie (i've been lost)]
    I've been lost, I've been lost
    I've been lost, I've been lost for awhile
    But I'm really tryin'
    I've been lost, I've been lost
    I've been lost, I've been lost for awhile
    But I'm really tryin'
    I've been lost, I've been lost
    I've been lost, I've been lost for awhile
    But I'm really tryin'
    I've been lost
    I've been lost
    I've been lost
    But I'm really tryin'

    This song is an amalgamation of around 4 or 5 different songs from one of Ren's favourite artists called Fred Again. He is an EDM DJ and when Ren went to one of his concerts recently, he suddenly just broke down in the middle of the dancefloor bc he just resonated with the lyrics so much. That was the 'I am Lost' song at the end. If you want to see how truly brilliant Ren is watch this link to the original songs. Someone actually took the time to put the sections Ren sings here in order and you can really see how he's done them.
    Here's the link:

    Perfectionism makes any art form sterile and meaningless. Striving for perfection is about fear and control, and is only shown as something positive when you are trying to sell something.

    I thought that I was “ safe” , aka not needing a box of Kleenex, with a mash up of EDM songs. But then I forgot that this is Ren. The tears began with “ I’m battling “ and then the end just destroyed me. He conveys the song with so much emotion and you can see it in his facial expressions as much as in his voice.

    Quick question - and I am genuinely interested. Given how easy it is find to instantly find out info on the Internet, why would you not check out who Fred Again is and what he sounds like/which songs are in REN’s mash up, before reacting to it. I find it puzzling.
    Apart from that I enjoyed your reaction.
