He’s the artist of the century imo- and I’m calling it now with 76 years to go lol. Once in a lifetime poet and musician. The energy and soul packed into every thoughtful sound he makes, while squeezing the juice out of every note he sings. I’m a guitar player/songwriter/singer to answer your question
If anybody is curious about the "Fred Again..." songs he "mashed up" there they are as follows: + Jungle + Delilah (pull me out of this) + leavemealone + Clara (the night is dark) + Angie (i’ve been lost)
Being familiar with Fred Again's amazing high vibe EDM tracks, I was not expecting an emotional accoustic cover but my bad as one should always expect the unexpected with Ren and he really pulls out the feels just busking for us all in his living room. I love it
I have been playing music for many many moons. The sheer talent this guy has with his singing, song construction, guitar playing, and raw vulnerable emoting is for real, so incomprehensible. He has all the talents in one package. That's called life advantage.
I've been playing guitar for about 30 years and this guy is just beyond talented he's so underrated when it comes to his guitar playing more people should be talking about that he's very amazing his music hits me too hard
I play guitar a little bit, not near as much as when I was younger and in a band, I will tell you this, and I don't want this to sound like I'm talking down to anyone that doesn't play guitar, but my fellow strummers out there can back me up......I think it's hard for those that don't play, to wrap their heads around just how expert level/top tier Ren's finger picking and strumming are on this song, then add the fact he's singing while playing. Ren is an alien, I'm tellin' ya.
@@NilZed1 ...Yeah me to!! I just dropped a comment in Michael Palmisano's most recent video, he usually only takes requests from Patron members, or students taking his online class, but he has a soft spot for Ren, and hopefully others will request it too.
As someone who can’t sing or play any musical instrument, this is why I really appreciate reactors with a musical background. Especially when they can explain what Ren is doing in a way that I can understand. It makes Ren’s performances even more enjoyable - if that is possible.
I can only think of one artist that can mashup 5 EDM songs into a brilliantly unique acoustic performance. That one person is Ren. He has said “Fred Again” is one of his favorite artists, and you can feel that Ren really connected with that music on a deep spiritual level. He paid one of the biggest compliments to “Fred again” by paying homage in such a beautiful way and bringing that music to an audience that had t heard it. I know I had to look up “Frec Again” to see what it was after hearing this one and everyone on here should go check it out and show love to him as well. His music is deeply beautiful as well.
This is so beautiful. I can't stop listening to this song. I've done nothing for hours but listen to it and watch reactions. I think it's my new favorite Ren song.
Same here!!!! I know I'll always love pretty much whatever Ren puts out, and I have songs that I like and songs that I LOVE, but nothing is bad. What I never thought I'd see, is Ren improving and maturing as a musician, I mean that in the best way, he was that good, I just figured he'd finely tune his craft, but this is clearly next level IMO, especially if you know Fred-again's music, and how much care and detail he puts into his beats, I hope he hears this mash-up, he'll truly be honored.
Every time a new Ren track drops it instantly becomes my new favourite. It’s incredible. He just keeps getting better and I think he’s just warming up. I’ve seen some of the biggest acts in the world play but none of them (and I mean none of them!) come close to Ren’s talent! In the last 13 months he has become easily my favourite artist of all time! I mean, I’m 57 for goodness sake! I haven’t been this obsessed by an artist since I saw a young AC⚡️DC play in Edinburgh when I was just 17 (oh my God! Has it really been 40 years already?). His talent seems to know no bounds! ✊🏼🐷❤️🔥
So, i like ren. But i LOVE Fred Again. Like, i listened to nothing but him for over a month. His boiler room set is my workout playlist. I'm autistic, and i am very bad at processing emotions. And the main way im able to just dwell in emotion and process what I'm feeling is music. And sometimes I listen to specific songs if i want to feel a particular emotion. Fred Again made me feel in ways i didn't even think were possible. And Ren just fucking broke me, man.
Excellent, heartfelt reaction to one of the greatest mashups I've ever heard. The last lines are heartrending. I've wept at a few of Ren's songs, but this one "kills" me at the end every time. He took Fred Again's songs and made them his own, living and breathing every word. (I'm a guitarist/singer who was in several bands over the decades. I can vouch for Ren's skill as a guitarist. 🎸 Not just technical skill, but having the ability to play with heart and soul.)
There's 3 parts to this mash up where I get goosebumps every single time I listen to it. His voice is incredible, his music talent is never ending and let's face it he is so bloody hot as well. The gift that keeps on giving 😍
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.
I used to play guitar, but starting losing confidence and motivation. Hugely thanks to Ren, I've been picking it up again after well over a decade. This guy shines so brightly, and and I'm grateful I get to witness it with all of you!
I learned to play on a nylon classical guitar, so it's been really cool whenever Ren performs on it. It has such a different sound, and different feel to it.
nearly 38 years of being a guitarist, one of the reasons i love and admire Ren, because it takes dedication and love to be good at what you do and Ren is the greatest talent i've heard since 91
Old head here. I've been following EDM music for a minute, and I've been to a thousand "parties" (we were too cool to call them "raves") From the beginning, I immediately latched on to the sadness of the tracks. My happiness at the time came from the uplifting atmosphere and my friends who I've cared about. While alone, this music tends to put me in a sad state. I have a feeling that Ren and people like him might understand this dissonance that EDM music elicits.
Nice reaction, Good to see others feel the emotion in his vocal delivery. Its like the tone hits the emotional interpretation of sadness, pain, desperation, confusion, understanding and happiness. Even tho not to many songs of Rens has dealt with a whole lot of happiness !! lol If you haven't yet check out Murderer ( Live Acoustical )
I try to play a little but ren is off the hook skill wise (all though he's obviously self taught). His biggest skill to me is his ability to take his audience on a Rollercoaster ride from grooving to dark to truth.
I like your take on this and you very well could be right. 💜 I play the piano, flute, piccolo, tin whistle, and a couple other odd flutes. Still learning the Xaphoon (pocket sax) and planning to pick-up a violin, venova (another mini sax like thing), and trumpet sometime in the near future. Thankfully I can rent most of them first from a local music store.
everyone will have different takes from it. he puts it out there and everyone will have different parts of his music that will resonate with them. its that what makes Ren quite unique.
I get ya I think most of us are just wombling around looking for our real purpose and enjoyment in life.. Some days it hits you hard some days you keep plodding through like a robot.. Great reaction you looking fantastic btw.💪 Ren mashed up 5 songs I believe and just made it his own just beautiful with lots of soul❤ take care all x
Lyrics & song covers of: Fred Again (( UK Artist/DJ/Musician/Producer )) Ren's mash up of the main hooks from these EDM tracks by Fred Again, making Ren's acoustic performance a stand alone piece. It's Genius!!🤯 - Jungle 🔥 - Delilah (pull me out of this)🔥 - leave me alone 🔥 - Clara (the night is dark)🔥 - Angie (i’ve been lost)🔥
Who's Fred? Ren is pure talent. He mentioned the day they finished this song that he was working on a second. Let's see what he produces in the next few weeks.
Fred-again aka Frederick John Philip Gibson is singer songwriter producer from London, he's more known for his DJ stuff, very unique beats, and he's got some big name features, but he's a multi instrumentalist too, and very good. He's written for Demi Lovato, he wrote and produced a bunch of songs on one of Ed Sheeran's albums, and he just won a Grammy for a song he did with Scrillex for best dance/electronic song.
Whatever your heart feels girl. However you want to interpret the song. Remember, Ren is there for his health. Sounds, to me, like he wants to go home….back to UK.
Awesome Reaction Video Ash Happy Thursday hope You're doing well My friend hope all is well My friend You're the best and I love you so so much 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
IKR, You think he's heard this yet?? I think Ren did a great job paying attention to the little details, I think Freed again will be honored at what a good job Ren did.
@@user-ik2bb2vz5x ....Honestly, I had never heard of him, but I have OCD when it comes to music, before Ren even dropped this track, just when I saw it was coming up, a couple days beforehand, I was like, who is this Fred guy, and did a deep dive on him. Yeah I saw he won a Grammy, for a song with Scrillex right? I checked out his boiler room show, techno isn't really my thing, but I really REALLY liked the beats and sounds he was putting down. What really impressed me was his Tiny Desk performance. I read that over covid he recorded a bunch of friends, fellow artists, strangers, saying just a couple words, or singing a line to a song, and even natural city sounds, and incorporated them into his music. I imagine a little bit of that is what I saw in the Tiny Desk performance. I TOTALLY get why Ren digs him, Fred again definitely has a new fan in me!!
