Ren is just unbelievably talented. Every genre just comes with ease to him

These 3 lads are fantastic. I think a lot of people are starting to hear about the lead singer here, who is of course fantastic and I am a huge fan, but in this band there THREE fantastic musicians (in this vid at least, apologies to any band member not in the video - drummer???) and they all deserve recognition. A great version of an already great song. Well done lads :)

Ren’s talent knows no bounds. Love how the dog is loving it too.

In the midst of the craze over Ren, deservedly, what gets lost is how great the whole band is

Im a scottish man in wales

A generational talent. The harmonies are unbelievable.

Love the fusion I can hear jazz, reggae, rock, Sting, the Hollies, Elvis, and amazing harmonies all blended into one amazing performance 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 very talented guys🙌🏼

Full lyrics! I don't take coffee, I take tea, my dear I like my toast done on one side And you can hear it in my accent when I talk I'm an Englishman in New York See me walking down Fifth Avenue A walking cane here by my side I take it with me everywhere that I walk I'm an Englishman in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York If "manners maketh man" as some might say He's the hero of the day It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say Takes more than combat gear to make a man Takes more than a license for a gun Befriend your enemies, confront them when you can A gentleman must walk but never run Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Be yourself no matter what they say Be yourself no matter what they say Be yourself no matter what they say Be yourself no matter what they say Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York

1:50 his voice control is fockin crazy

Man...That guitar is just so smooth. Everything together is just amazing. Keep up the amazing work guys!

Incredible blend of talent, all 3...Impressive!

Has there ever been an international call for a reunion of a band that was never on a label? These guys have loads of the rare, and much sought after commodity, called chemistry.

That groove, those harmonies, those voices... Great stuff

my headphones only working on the left side but i try to live the right life!!!!!

Just pure fcuking genius ...its an understatement that Ren is a musical savant & the guys just compliment him further all accomplished bringing a musical feast to the banquet ...class

Born in 71. GenX and proud. Love love love the Police and Sting...Great tribute to Sting and Quentin Crisp. Love y'all from Htine Texas!

I’m not even low or sad right now; quite happy and content, in fact, but I just found myself exploding with tears listening to this song, the realization that Ren (and friends) know no bounds. I feel like with Ren especially, that I’m watching history being made, as if this is the origin of an artist of such caliber that he will join the ranks of the likes of The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Moby, Tupac, Cat Stevens, The Cure, etc. - I get that same euphoric feeling discovering music you can just feel changing you from the inside, out. He is the inspiration and thought change our society desperately needs. Edit: typonese

How many times a week do Ren goes to the barber? Skin fade always fresh

You are absolutely brilliant! I have been binge-watching your videos since I discovered you 2 days ago and have yet to find anything I am not emotionally and mentally compelled by! Your capacity for telling a story in such a lyrically epic way backed up by timing signatures and that pure level of vocal release that you have is a blessing and a privilege to hear. So let me be cheesy and say "It is music to my ears!"

his voice has many voices!!! totally wish I had come across this years ago!

Who knew that Tom Shelby can sing and play guitar

Whenever I’m down I come to this cover and it’s reminds me there are always good things in this world, thankyou guys, lots of love to you all ❤️

I love the slight changes in the lyrics: „Befriend your enemies, confront them if you can, a gentleman must walk but never run“ has a much nicer and stronger message than „Confront your enemies, avoid them if you can“

Sting must be feckin proud of this.. lush REN and Co, top musicianship, vibes , tight and full of joy ❤❤❤

I don't take coffee, I take tea, my dear I like my toast done on one side And you can hear it in my accent when I talk I'm an Englishman in New York See me walking down Fifth Avenue A walking cane here at my side I take it everywhere I walk I'm an Englishman in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York If "manners maketh man" as someone said He's the hero of the day It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety You could end up as the only one Gentleness,…

Honestly : this touches the soul and gives its a WHOLE LOT OF sizzle

What incredible talent - just fantastic! Also kudos to whoever films these and captures the sound, because it is so good - it's 'invisible' - and so it's like having a front row seat to these brilliant musicians performing❤.

Rens voice just makes you gasp everytime he effortlessly belts out!! Talent beyond belief 👌

Awwwa, what incredible adorable puppy. Love the way how Ren changes his vocal tune on the way he wants the story delivered. How the background vocals by Romiana and Gorran uplift the music.

This is so lovely! And I'd never have found it if Ren hadn't posted "Hi, Ren". If it's possible in the future, you guys should do more together. You're all very talented and we need good music from real musicians, such as you all.

I love it when artists do a cover and make it into something new.

I love this song. The guys killed it again.

You are one òf the wisest human beings I've ever experienced. I'm a sixty seven year old psychotherapist and I've heard and seen a great deal. You are a truly wonderful person and I'm truly privileged to have followed your career almost from the earliest days. No matter what the future brings, ren, just be true to yourself and you'll never go wrong.

Todavía sigue sonando en mis listas de reproducción después de más de 2 años! Unos genios 💥💣

I love this so much. I personally love Sting and you boys did an absolutely beautiful job in keeping his essence in this cover. Three voices makes this sound so lovely. By the way, the first time I heard Ren's voice I always thought that he sounded a little bit like Sting and thought that it would be so awesome for you guys to do more Sting covers (or The Police songs). xx

Talent is undisputed, vibe is cool as hell, music is beyond… however I cant be the only one losing their shit anytime the puppy was on the screen!!! So adorable

That dog just be chillin

Honestly, I love the way you guys experiment while playing music. Something different from the covers we are used to listen around the web. Great job, your "signature" is always clear and strong.

Ren is something else. A musical talent so powerful that he makes everyone around him amazing

Was introduced to the fantastic talents of Ren and the big push at the end of last year by my big brother and I'm well and truly hooked. I'm a massive music fan and a loyal stan of Eminem who I've followed for 22 years and i haven't been moved by any new music since then until i found these guys....so thanks to Ren and the big push...you're amazing 💕🎶🎤🎧🎵✌💕

These three humans are experiencing the joy of making beauty!!! Thanks for sharing the beauty!!!❤

This is a performance. Wonderful interpretation of a demanding song respect

Ren, you have changed my life forever I love it. The way I see myself & the way I see the world is different & in the most beautiful way! Im eternally grateful! & I love The Big Push another great discovery! Thank you!

Me encantan!! Saber que hacen buena música es gratificante, alegría para nuestros oídos! En algún momento iré a verles en algún concierto vuestro o donde estéis. Llegareis muy lejos!!

why isn't Ren Tompkins in the cast of peaky blinders

The Big Push will be the Next Big Thing. You're so talented (and so beautiful as well). Can't wait to see you on stage. :)

"Be yourself no matter what they say" ..what an amazing song

Been a big fan of Eminem for years and i don't like a lot of the music nowadays but Ren has really brought a hell of a lot of positivity and to the RU-vid community and i can see reading peoples comments how he has effected people in a good way. PS the friend you lost would be very proud of you!

I have no idea why youtube recommended this video, but I'm happy it did

best vibes, voices, music! BEST EVER "English man in New York" COVER

These young gents... so much talent. I'm blessed to witness them all.

Incredible ! Song choice, emotion, Harmony, guitars, sound quality, recording...film setting, editing, wardrobe, lights. All just wow !

I swear me and my girl have listened to this cover so much! Simply amazing! Bongo Bong cover is another ALL TIME FAVORITE. Instead of watching Netflix it's @The Big Push

Ren, you have a wonderful singing voice. I love it. ♥

Impossible to put this artist in a box. He covers an amazing spectrum. Love that!

Ren is the most persevering hero ever

great vocals. great fresh arrangement. awesome cool.

This Guy is pure Genius. Solo and with his band Big Push. Probably the best artist iv heard in a decade. I’m a regular to Brighton hope I catch some of your music live this summer. Peace.

Found this 3 years ago, still bloody brilliant lads! Turned a classic into a masterpiece.

i’m in love with you guys, good touch with the fact that the voices match with their positions

Best modern band .. unique artistry .. not just for the sake of being unique but for the sake of connecting with ones own spirit .. and it shows 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

This is such a simple cover by a very popular song... but really touching, love your voices, splendid work!

Every song is a surprise - each cover covers the original! Thank you for the Music!

love your band's style! looking forward to a lot more music from you guys!

Verdadero tributo a Sting (original)... Le hacen justicia a una canción tan emblematica... Con todo y el sentimiento de nostalgia de esas épocas 👌👌👍

I love both versions equally. I like the video because I like seeing them playing around with all their friends. I love the live because I just freaking love live music ❤

Two months ago I kissed the person who is now my partner listening to this exact song on a bench in the park ❤ we even made a carillon with a piece of this song! We are together right now listening to this song again soooo thank you ❤

I actually freaking love this cover so much, I cant get it out of my head. My whole shift at work today it was just playing over and over in my head

okay this is one of the best bands i've ever seen in a long timeeee mannnnnn wow, so good to stumble upon these guys~~~ this is my new favorite thing !!

I truly hope to see these guys touring the US soon. I'm hooked... It's been a week and I can't stop listening to them. 💕

Absolutely perfectly beautiful!! I'm sure Sting is very proud of this version!! My god!! Really!! This is so good!!!

For me you have more talent than any football player in the premier league. I know, you cannot compare, but I guess what I am saying is, that you should be drowning in money for your music. I celebrate you guys. You are epic. And I hope you continue to have a great time together. You are perfect together. Friends for ever!!

love everything about this artist. the instrumentals, the lyricism, their outfits, even the setting was creative + well planned. per usual.

It's been a long time since I found such talent and groove

Oh man this is better than the original

Guys you are the best Brighton musicians! Seeing you playing on streets makes my day brighter!

Very interesting interpretation of this masterpiece. There is everything in your version- rock, jazz, blues, a little bit of reggae and curious barbershop. Keep it up!!!

Another awesome Big Push cover that simply adds more flavour to the original.

An incredible interpretation of a great song, superb harmonies too guys.

This hits different now that I am truly obsessed.

It's always grateful see people offering a little part of his soul for everyone that wanna see. Cheers guys, amazing job.

I absolutely love this song What a refreshing version, interesting, invigorating You guys are so talented wow

Cały zespół brawo chłopaki. Uwielbiam Was. Jesteście rewelacyjny. Pozdrowienia i trzymajcie się ciepło

Parabéns , vocês são excelentes músicos 🇧🇷♥️♥️♥️😘

Absolutly amazing! ❤ such a fantastic cover ❤ Ren has such unbelievable talent on his own, but with the band they all complement eachothers talents amazingly ❤

I’m taking my time I am slowly getting through everything you done and I have to watch it three or four times. you are the master of the dark but you definitely hit the light for me 🙏🏾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

3 years of this and I'm not tired of listen this every single week, love you Guy's

The solo on the telecaster had so much to this song, well done

Wow! Really sweet sound, great vocals thanks guys

I could listen to you guys all day.

Beautiful harmonies!! All 3 great!

I especially love the Sting and Shaggy version too. You guys have become my favorite like over night.

Heard a salsa version of this last night at el patio in miami, FL. Big👍🏽👍🏽

You guys took one of my favorite songs of all times and made it better.

I keep coming back to this…brings me happiness. 🌞🌞🌻🌼

I need this in Spotify NOW PLEAAASE

You guys are insane, this version is stunning! Sting would be proud of you :p

So much energy and flair. These boys do everything right. Thanks for the video.
