The Verve were huge in UK, Europe and elsewhere. More than a one hit wonder, I guess they didn’t make inroads in the States. Richard Ashcroft is a genius song writer 👌 Only a couple of years ago did he get back the rights to the song that put them on the map because of that sample that the stones ripped off themselves. And by the way Ren sums up the UK beautifully in this, he smashed it out the park.

And a literal five minute walk from where the outdoor busking sets were filmed. Brighton may be a city, but all those spots are all within a very short area. It's fun watching the videos and trying to see exactly where each one was filmed. From the Laines, to the sea front, to the waste ground by the Marina, to the shots in Churchill Square - It's such a visual city.

@russetmantle1 3 месяца назад

What I really love about this is that it's only a cover in the sense that it takes the background music and the trope of walking along the street in the video as the two standout elements of the original Verve track. Everything else is new. But even the walking along the street thing is different, because in the original, Richard Ashcroft bumps into people deliberately in a sort of slightly aggressive way, and the people he bumps into act as if they're genuinely pissed off. Whereas here, Ren has a much more uplifting stroll where he's observing and celebrating life while still recognising the challenges we face. It's as if Ren has completely reinvented the concept of the original music with a totally different vibe.

On the food places. The number one chain in the UK is Greggs, as far as number of locations (he passes one early in the vid). Then it's Subway and then McDonald's... We do have Popeyes too, TacoBell, Shake Shack etc but they're in much smaller numbers. You obviously won't know of Greggs but it's a bakery but they sell everything from sandwiches to pies and pastries, and sweet and savoury. So a steak bake is a puff pastry slice filled with steak and gravy... The most popular item is a sausage roll.

Excuse me ....but .....cubicle has in British English a totally different meaning = in England it´s a toilet box and not an office box...the whole line is therefore not a "9to5 job reference" - but - a reference about "a junky in a toilet box" using his spoon in order to heat up his heroin (or cocain or a mixture of both or what ever) for a shot

@MissMeKate 4 месяца назад

@@ian9033 I love that shot! It is all so well timed. Not sure if it counts as a oner though because of the cuts when he is stepping in and out of the pavement cracks. Was filmed when the light was different and they flip between the two. But that takes nothing at all away from how difficult the timing must have been for all the complicated continuous shots. Each moving part is a place it could have gone wrong! I love that videos like this one were part of the foundations for what he ultimately did with MG3. Practice, playing with ideas, learning by doing.

@tjmctube 4 месяца назад

Guys, I can't believe you are just getting to this. And you know what? I totally love it. Gives me an excuse to revisit/relisten to a reaction. A few items to note. He stops and bows his head with the lyrics "His mother's in a black suit, crying at a funeral". If you look at the pavement where he stops the pavement looks like a grave. He twice uses "As above, so below" in the lyrics. The phrase is not random. It has it's own Wikipedia page which states among other things "Among historians of philosophy and science, the verse is often understood as a reference to the supposed effects of celestial mechanics upon terrestrial events. This would include the effects of the Sun upon the change of seasons, or those of the Moon upon the tides, but also more elaborate astrological effects." It's interesting to note that the first time he uses the phrase as he literally steps into the rising morning sunlight (celestial mechanics) and says "here in the city we glow" (terrestrial event).

Urban Hymns one of the great 90s albums. Certainly not a one hit wonder. They got permission from Decca Records but Allan Klein the famously hard manager of the Stones, sued them. They had to hand over all royalties. Then in 2019, after Klein had been dead 10 yeyars, the Stones signed the rights back to The Verve. The Ren retake mimics the classic original video.
