Ren, you deserve to be on tour in arenas and stadiums man, you're incredible, i am proud to have been able to play with you

[@phillipoconnor4041]

Sam you're up there with him pal,followed you both for years.Only a matter of time,the word is spreading mate.Much loved by many…..

[@orangetangforlife]

wow

[@ChrisLawton66]

What a great friend.

[@spiritofhonuguidanceforlife]

2023 and Sam, The Big Push and Ren are doing amazing 💗

[@wadecohagan2388]

@@spiritofhonuguidanceforlife ? i think they are not together.

[@walkalittle]

It's 2023 and I would watch Ren singing the weekly shopping list. A small select few become generational talents and Ren you are one of those!

[@brunomad12]

This guy has been an artist for so many years. He deserves so much recognition. Big up, Ren!

[@yado7550]

1 minute in: "this is alright" 2 minutes in: *goosebumps*

[@sanjayh8645]

Sam - hats off to you for being behind the camera all these years! Most unappreciated role but for those that know, we know ehat excellent work you fo. Big Up!

[@yvonneschlame8657]

I can't think of any other musician who so easily incorporates the tradition of Theatre and Minstrel into one of the most modern forms of musical expression. He's from Shakespeare to Rap, wrapped in great acting and performing skills. The ultimate performer, as he mirrors humanity in all its shades ❤

[@primitivedogs4638]

Benedict Cumberbatch did both the creature and Frankenstein in same theather in London, but varied by day. I guess Ren can do the same plus gitarr and extra! So very talented

[@JElam-zy4ow]

Ren's acting skills are incredibly underrated. He is the quintessential "triple threat:" musician, actor, and storyteller.

[@PainReigns125]

His innate ability to make a song his own is insane. I'm here for it.

[@Silkytoaster]

Should be required viewing for all Renagades - this was epic

[@JayCoww]

It was all fun and laughter until the sunshine was gone. That was such a great shift of tone towards the end of the song. The audience went dead silent.

[@JElam-zy4ow]

Pin … Drop Ren's ability to connect with an audience and command their undivided attention is really something to behold

[@shannondarling5311]

Everyday a new gem. Oh ren, oh ren where have I been?!! I'm jealous of all the people you've crossed paths with. Not because of your fame or musicianship, but your soul. Hope treatment is going well and you're happy because you are a bright light in a dim world

[@cozyslor]

Wow, it's always been performance art. It's everything in one. Singing, musicianship, poetry, theater, authenticity, sincerity. It's just extra special. I dare anyone to try to look away for just one moment. Can't do it.

[@primitivedogs4638]

Please slow down... Its just a cover. (haha!)

[@yesindigo]

I think you missed the Point.

[@yesindigo]

100 per cent. There's nothing like him anywhere musically right now.

[@kjsdottor]

So awesome to see this bit of history. Past Ren, Today's Ren, and Future Ren ... All a fine vintage.

[@sarasweightlossjourney1432]

This guy is one of the greatest artist of our time ❤

[@jillianjones257]

I look back at this and think man how could he get anymore talented...flash forward 7 years...awe he totally does . Keep fighting toward your dreams ren

[@Lift_Eachother_Up]

Its 2023!!! YOU AND REN MADE IT AND WILL ONLY GO FURTHER! DO I SEE A FUTURE REUNION COLAB???

[@startingfingerstyle]

A chance find. been following ren's stuff (Big Push/solo/collaborations) for a couple of years. never seen this before. What a talent!

[@fredculley5049]

What the hell, mate? You make me think, then you make me laugh, then to think again. You’re a big reason I keep on going. 😮

[@mike2190]

Ren is like our Bob Dylan of the 21st century.

[@stephentrevis2514]

Why aren’t I even surprised that yet another of Rens songs are unique and hit like a hammer. Thanks for the upload 👍🏻👍🏻

[@billragle7655]

All the Guys are Great..But for whatever reason...Ren is such a Strong Person and Man..he had to Grow up earlier than most young men..I'm very Proud of him..

[@sebleveille]

It's hard to believe you had found and used this bard style of music for over 9 years. It's honestly one of the most refreshing things to hear. Honestly, I would travel to see a concert for a show like this. @renmakesmusic Continue your craft. You have amazing talent.

[@jessicamckenzie2816]

You’re gorgeous Ren ❤

[@kimbennett3014]

Now this is a damn KZbin find right here. Yesssss.... 🙌

[@user-rd3mh4hp2d]

Nails it every time. I wake up singing Ren songs. I love music. Now, because of Ren, I love it a bit more. Thank you Ren,my brother from another planet. Sincerely or without wax, love your art.

[@liamstewart2094]

Ren have no words, in my prayers each day 🙏

[@copperhead2694]

A seasoned soul from such a young age, here to teach us , guide us in a musical way..

[@iwatchuonutube6638]

Thank you KZbin for sending me here. The rabbit hole is deep

[@independentinstallations8419]

I feel selfish for knowing how hard Ren has struggled and not wishing he could have had a normal life. Im sorry Ren for all you've been through but I can promise you the impact you will make in these times we all our in will provide all the strength you need friend. Stay focused on what's ahead and thank you for fighting and inspiring the weak to be strong.

[@belgand5555]

Thanks for that Sam! ❤️🎶❤️

[@sicpuppy9500]

Ren, you were born for this and we ask Sam to capture it.

[@asthouart]

When is a cover not a cover? Extraordinary!

[@BirgittHGer]

Hi Sam, with Ren's success all others are raised too! I'm happy for you, for Ren of course and everyone else around him.🤩 Good luck and have a nice day, Greetings from Germany 👍👏🤝👍🌞🌞🌞🌞

[@tomjokumsen9758]

Ren U just make me light up and Happy everytime i hear U preform.. U R Just great.. Thank U Soo Much..😍🤩❤

[@anticafo]

Made my day finding this!!!

[@ptourang2]

Ahh you are the bard, the story teller, the magician with words and music . Love you Ren!

[@dennisrowan1704]

Ok, now I'm on the trail of the Unicorn Voice camp....is it still around? what a great performance REn!!

[@ChristineP-qp6vn]

My favourite remix of the song used to be by DMX. But with the monologue in the middle of this, I did one over my new favourite remix of ain’t no sunshine.

[@lauraheim8381]

Wow and damn!! This is a hidden gem! Needs to be more available to watch👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Laura frm Baltimore Md. USA Maybe it’s just me who hasn’t seen this before…?

[@MissyGail4eva]

hell, it hasn't been a full day since you posted and I just now found this. I guess the YT algorithm has developed a little crush on all things Ren.. lol

[@galevalenti7759]

So good that I don't even know what to say

[@JoeElliotSA]

Never seen this one before. Feckin good. 😁

[@johnchadwick9267]

So musical, intelligent- and the ironic cross-referencing is an artistic achievement in itself. More! How can we best support you?

[@NoraMorgan]

Watching this makes me realize what’s missing from most people who perform. They don’t have this kind of passion. Or maybe they do but they don’t share it with their audience like Ren does.

[@LadyGX]

Thanks, Sam. This is a gem.❤

[@tandyhard8286]

WHAT??? I say this with all honesty, I saw "Ain't no sunshine Ren Gill cover" and I yelled... cuz I really dislike the original song! But! But! I LOVE REN! What is this??? Im probably the only person I know who really dislikes the original (I know, I know, it's a classic, but I still don't like it and never have) and I clicked on this with a cringe on my face and was BLOWN OUT OF MY OFFICE CHAIR. What the WOW? I. am. speechless. Ren really can do everything. Fucker even turned my hate for this damn song and made it my new fuckn favorite. Wow. Out of this world, talent. Im so... wow. 🥰🙏❤

[@LosingThePlot]

Wow. Absolutely fantastic. Found Rens music from listening to the big push. Such talent .. speaking from the heart and soul. Keep talking ... Keep singing . Keep talking to eachother brothers!

[@kirstyburden79]

Most awesome work. Wanna jam with him

[@jeanfrancorojasmora7887]

Ren is an inspiration, I mean it.

[@SamuelPerryFalvey]

your telling me! aha

[@bevjohnson8874]

Wow just found this ohhh my ren love your many voices the one thing I love about you so many styles it’s a lovely surprise not knowing which one we getting brill love you lots Thankyou for your voice your lyrics your talent you sure help me

[@jonathankall3062]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Ren thank You for sharing the gifts God’s giving you with the world, and for all your years and years of discipline, practice, drive, self determination and hard, hard work, which is evident in your ART!!❤❤

[@Microdave75]

It winds me up when people say its a gift from God, no pal it's lots of hard work, dedication and shit loads of practice, no one is gifted talent you have to work hard for it

[@AhsokaJackson]

@@Microdave75 Hmm, I'll try to be succinct here, which is not one of my strong points. 🤣 As a creative myself, let me just say that writer's block is VERY good at reminding you that there's something larger than yourself at work and that you can't necessarily just produce content-at least not _good_ content-any and every time you wish. From my perspective, every benefit and advantage we get is ultimately via God's active OR permissive will, so it all goes back to Him. We didn't give ourselves the breath of life and bodies and much of the things in the universe that we use to function. And the idea of a gift doesn't inherently negate hard work. I could give someone a truckload of top-tier filmmaking equipment, but they still have to both learn (or already have learned) how to use it and put in the actual work to do so. Their work doesn't negate the impact of my gift, but neither does my gift invalidate the effort that it took. Parents are another good analogy. For kids who are successful in various pursuits like sports and music, they have to invest enormous amounts of time and effort themselves of course, but there's also a whole other aspect, which is that the parents also tend to have to invest a great deal of money, energy, travel time, and other things to enable that pursuit. Their contribution doesn't invalidate the child's work, yet it's also true the child wouldn't have been able to do it without getting that kind of help from somebody (and sometimes it'll be other folks helping instead). Like hey, a nine-year-old isn't driving himself or herself to tap-dancing class or a sports-medicine specialist, ha. I will say, I'm pretty sure I DO get where you're coming from. I see people thinking of abilities like writing as something you either have or you don't, and worse, that it's like some simple thing of just maybe going off somewhere in isolation and the words magically come out. It's bloody freaking aggravating, both because *HOLY HADES,* writing can be so hard and it's maddening that folks would think it's just so simple or easy, AND because I often see folks saying, "Oh, I could never do that," when I strongly believe that most people actually could write decently well if they put in the time and probably had some guidance to help them learn the craft. And I do believe that some folks have stronger aptitudes for stuff than other. Heck, that's a basic reality of life in general. But I also think a lot of folks are underestimating their potential and could become pretty darned good at many things if they had the time, passion, and resources to pursue those things.

[@Snarky_Tart]

@@AhsokaJackson When I see/hear comments like the one you responded to, I think: "Huh. So every kid in the neighborhood can grow up to be as great as NBA basketball Hall of Famer Julius Erving if they dedicate themselves to playing basketball, and practice for hours every day for years?" Of course, Erving wouldn't have grown up to be the legendary Dr. J either without the years of blood, sweat, and tears of his own labor. But we have to overlook Erving's height, proprioceptive abilities, fast-twitch muscle capacities, intelligence, and a host of other inborn, innate capabilities, which we might call talent, and we might call God-given, if we contend that hard work alone can create genius in any field.

[@ricksurratt9034]

Truly a great artist

King Ren.... 👑

[@River0akes]

Oh man, stumbling across this just made my whole day- thank you!

[@shontose]

Straight facts! This needs to be talked about more. Absolutely masterful. That toxic masculinity trap!

[@alouise01]

Aw, you are so talented Ren Gil!!!

[@haritchie3460]

When so many thank you are said. it should have meaning.. Seeing this was saved and sharing. Thinking of others. Its action has thank you with a meaning

WOOOOW!!!

[@mysticeyes10000]

I ❤him! So much talent!

[@wellnessbeatsreacts]

Ren I know this is a serious song, but you're also hilarious! 😂 thus is a really great message, my husband had that toxic masculinity going on. He needed therapy and wouldn't go, now he has conversations about mental health with men that he talks to and has them go to the therapy dude a podcast to speak more easily on the topic. Thank you for this! 🖤
