The Big Push - Lonely Boy/Paint It Black 

Absolutely brilliant. I am a 73 year old recently retired rock guitar/singer. This has restored my faith in the true spirit of Rock & Roll

Boy am I gonna miss you guys. Thanks for making such incredible music for us throughout the years!

The most talented Street Band I've ever seen 👍 you guys are so damn good

I am Dutch, and when I was in the Dutch version of high school our English teacher believed in learning a language by surrounding yourself with it... A few ways he would implement this was by having us watch English spoken movies with the subtitles in English as well, and by having us listen to and translate English songs... So one day, we were in English class and listening to The Stones' "paint it black", now all the doors in our school were red, and a buddy of mine always had a couple of cans of spray paint in his backpack... Whilest the first notes of Paint it black were ringing from the speakers that day, from the corner of my eye I catch him going through his backpack.... You probably guessed it by now, right? Yeah, he pulled out a can of black spray paint, walked up to the that red classroom door, and painted it black.... when the teacher asked him (whilest trying to hide his smile) what he thought he was doing, he answered, in the most Dutch accented English I have ever heard spoken, "I see a red door, and I just painted it black"... At that the teacher burst out laughing and said "well, at the very least you understood the lyrics"... his only punishment was having to help the schools maintenance worker paint the door red again... But, Paint it black has been one of my most loved songs ever since, though I have never been able to listen to it without that memory flashing through my mind.

I’m 48, just discovered this band TODAY, got extremely excited to have finally found some new music that truly hits THAT spot, and find out they just broke up. Lol me.

The energy of this group is exactly what’s missing in today’s mainstream!! Why couldn’t I have been at this show !!

This street band is the epitome of rock and roll will never die❤

Could feel the energy through the screen with this one, gonna miss you guys 🖤

So good!!..I am 80 year and you all make me dance again..❤❤

Gorran has such a timeless voice . Love every single one of em so much talent ❤

I'm in my 70's and this has restored my faith in good music . Love you guys ❤

Every piece of music I hear from Ren is another example of his sheer talent. They are all relevant and relatable. It is so easy to hide who you really are from the public, but his honesty and openness about his struggle say a lot about his inner strength as an individual. Everything he produces is so polished and just GOOD, but it doesn't shy away from ugly things, from TRUTH. No one is like Ren. My faith in Humanity as a whole hasn't changed, but my faith in the individual, individuals like Ren, is renewed and reaffirmed. I've known people like this in my personal life, just overflowing with LIFE and the will to DO. It is a privilege I don't take lightly because I've also known the other side of that coin. Hate, violence, fear, illness, pain. I will bear those scars for the entirety of my life. The only thing that has eased the ache, the grief, the guilt and shame is music and art. To have those two things come together in a single person is cathartic on a level I didn't know was possible. So, once again, thank you Ren ❤️

I just keep coming back for more! I cant stop! True to the original sound and feel, yet so authentic in its own way.

The freaking goosebumps when Paint it black comes in!! That energy of everyone!! You guys are simply insanely awesome, I wish I ever got the chance to see you live. Love from Germany

Hi, I'm Bernuy, singer and guitarist of a band called Morgenrot. I met you recently and fell in love with your music, but it also broke my heart to find out that the band has disbanded. I hope you get together in the future to play and to release an LP, you would make a lot of people happy. A big hug. Thank you for transmitting such good vibrations and love for the most passionate art that exists.

Aw the lil speech at the end 😭 You guys really made something special and memorable with The Big Push. So much talent, passion and charisma…just bloody amazing. Not only were your performances electric, but each of you individually are just such beautiful people. All the best to ya ❤️ I have a feeling you’ll find your way back to each other to busk again in years to come.

You are not only the most incredible busking band, but one of the most incredible group. Your energy, interection, everything is perfect. Lately I have been addicted to RHCP, not only for their music, but for the friendship they show among them, and you transmit the same feeling. I think that many people will reach this video now because of Ren and his new moment. Hope everything will work fine for him and, who knows, one day you can all get reunited again.

THIS belongs on stage not the streets !! raw brilliance !

Ren blows my mind ❤️❤️❤️ he makes the feels happen. All his work touches me . Hi Ren, is on the daily Playlist for sure.

Some might say: if you're not dancing, then you are dead. But this makes even the corpses shake their asses. What a blast!

Please World, make them as big as they're talented! We all need more! Nobody can deny, THIS is real music.

Man you can feel the energy these guys bring coming through the screen absolutely incredible that crowd should be way more hyped then they look

I LOVE this!!!! For your last official live busking performance as The Big Push, you guys knocked this one out of the park! You all did a Brilliant job, even if the recording device got damaged. I hope to see you all reunite soon for many, many more live recordings and World Tours! You massively talented mates have such a wholly distinctive style and such fantastic chemistry! The Big Push is already legendary. Please give us hope that we will hear from you some day in the future. You are greatly loved 💜

Wow! What a show! What a sound on street! Lucky Brighton! Dear Guys! Please! Come to Wattenscheid as soon as possible!

I am going to miss this band, you were perfect together and I hope you are going to get together once again in the future. I love your solo pieces as well, so I’ll stay tuned for next masterpieces!

Best wishes for the future guys, as a classic rock lover of the 70's it's been a pleasure to watch your work over the past years, talented, charismatic and living the music, cheers.

It was a wonderful adventure. Without you, guys, I wouldn't be who I am. Thanks for all and good luck to all of you

I've loved you guys since the first song I listened an the end of 2019. You had been the sound of my quarantine the right music to pass those difficult days. You miss me already a lot, your passion, your music and your strength will be always in my heart. Love you Big Push🤟🏻

I wish I had a chance to see all of you live. You've all inspired me to take to the streets with my music, and it's been a life changing experience. Thank you for everything you all have done!

Utterly fabulous! Only recently discovered your stuff, have completely overdosed on it since and am now sooooooo disappointed to find I've missed the boat. You've recently stopped gigging together. Brighton will miss you, hell the WORLD will miss you. Best of luck, all of you, with whatever comes next, at least we've got the RU-vid stuff. So, so talented!

And this sir is rock and fuckin roll.

The chemistry with you guys is astonishing 🫠🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥

Just goes to show you don't need a recording studio!!! Those truly lucky people able to be there for that, hope they realise how lucky they are!!!

I like The Big Push, but mostly what you do, Ren. You are so multi talented, it's sick! I want to see you live! Wish you never stop doing music ❤ But I read somewhere that you wrote that you would love to do acting, and I know you would rock that, too! Just don't stop being you ❤// Sandra, Sweden

The day you'll meet again to play together, I'll cross the ocean to hear you. That's now one of my dream Thank you so much for everything, you're truly inspiring...

Reno’s so talented I know he’s had his mental issues I sincerely hope he gets over them and keeps shining and sharing his talent. Love your energy bro please don’t stop displaying your talent man we the world needs your music.

My heart is so f broken right now. I can't even begin to explain how much you guys mean for me, for my music and my life. I'm from Argentina and traveling to another country is Very expensive so I never had the chance to see you live (and it was one of my biggest dreams, trust me). I know that if you are going different ways is becayse you really thought about it and it is the best for All of you but I can't help being so sad. Anyway, thanks for all of these wonderfull years of music and love. I am gonna keep recomending your art to everyone I know and I'm going to support all of you in this new phase. Lots of Love an admiration forever

The minds of the herds can be changed.... And brought up to new heights. We bare ever evolving. Let this be a lesson to those that only see what they choose

what a trip you guys were... thanks a bunch!

Gorran’s vocal tones are PERFECT for Black Keys covers. Romain killed that guitar solo! I’m so in love with this mashup! 🔥🔥🔥

Damn, guys first day i heard you that was few years ago, god bless yt! Btw i idk how we feel energy throuh screen. But thank you boys! 🖤
