[@thewolfjohnson]

My dude, the lens through which you react and breakdown through is probably my favorite. You touch on visual production with an empathetic awareness to the source. Your clients are lucky to have you as a videographer.

[@malcombe7001]

Totally agree, but I do suffer from acute awareness syndrome. When I was diagnosed I said, 'what, like there a five other doors in the corridor out there'. This guy is brilliant, I liked the light on the faces, I'd never noticed that and I've seen it more times than him.

[@carladicarlo3255]

Right? Educational pov for us plus empathetic, chill and happy in his vids all the time. You’re not so shabby yourself though ❤️

[@joeesparks7]

@thewolfjohnson thank u brotha🙏🏽 I'm just using what my momma gave me😂 but now if I could add ur silky smooth buttery voice I'd be outa hear👌🏽💯 ps...loved ur perspective on "no tutorials" ❤❤❤

[@jasonstewart3996]

You're the real deal wolf. I was so impressed with Ren for what he did. You're lucky but you definitely deserves it

[@Maggsreacts82]

Yesss! This!!❤❤❤ hey there wolf. Been a minute. Y’all are such a fun group of reaction videos 100% ❤this song is one of my favorite songs

[@dawnpatterson8708]

Ren said that they filmed it with 2 phones. It was right after a messy breakup with his manager. He wanted to show he could just do it. That he didn't NEED anything else. Point proven. The song is a perfect example of how he uses upbeat music to talk about serious topics. Joe, you REALLY need to see Children Of The Moon. An early Ren and Sam video. You will LOVE it.

[@jabbazabba23]

You know how I know that you love what you do? You’re equally as excited about Sam as you are Ren.

[@kennethmichael5404]

That bass drops get me EVERY time. How could you NOT vibe to this song?! Positive message, smooth bars, great beat, catchy as Hell!

[@inatcacenco3006]

I am deeply moved by how much honor and respect you have for Sam. Love this video

[@DenTweed]

"Get so high to try to silence sounds of fighting through the walls I heard love dying" is such a hard bar (and very relatable for me ) Man with your bg and the love you got for Sam I REALLY wanna hear an intervew with you two, going into the nitty gritty of videomaking

[@Veeliscious]

Deffo hungry for a Sam interview!

[@stigish]

Sam mouthing the lyrics while driving is just such a treat 😄

[@tomothywalker]

You’re selling yourself short calling these “Reactions”… they’re true Analysis/Breakdown pieces from an artist’s perspective. Love it. Now, when are you getting our man Sam on for an interview!!?!

[@TheEverydayPoet]

POWER is the video I put on loop whenever I need a lift. Thanks for helping me appreciate it even more.

[@kathybrown6763]

I absolutely love how Sam knows every word. If i was driving i would have to had my mouth duct taped from my singing along.😂😂😂😊

[@Veeliscious]

Actually when he joined Ren's interview with Black Pegasus, Sam said if he's in front of the camera another time he's going to make sure he knows all the words lol

[@sammyd8860]

This was the first track that Ren released after splitting with his manager. He just wanted to do something fun, basic and get it out really fast, without lots of production. I think he said they recorded it on two mobile phones (I could be wrong)

[@Psyco913]

That makes a lot of sense because the inside the car footage is reversed (selfie cam) while the pov footage is not.

[@sharoncarlisle9453]

You're not wrong. I remember him saying that.

[@vorpled]

Oh! That's why Americans didn't react to this one like they did the car in Murderer! Didn't ever notice that.

[@DenTweed]

Yeah he said it was done on 2 Iphones

[@sammyd8860]

yeah the image was flipped @@vorpled

[@williamalexander7481]

I'm pretty sure I heard Ren say that he loved making this one because they just jumped in the car with the cameras and drove around to the song. I like this one. It's really fun.

[@cradlegrl]

One of my favorite Ren songs. Actually everyone of his songs are my favorite!😊

[@acegardner4425]

This is the one that Ren was saying in the Knox interview that he basically was so sick of the time and arduous tedious bs he had to go through just to get something out there for his fans, so he took two (or three?) smartphones and positioned them in the car and basically recorded, edited and released 1-2-3

[@CherylAwh]

I love this one. The groove is sick, but the message is everything. Don't let life get to you, focus on yourself and your own power. Focus on what you CAN control. I don't know about everyone else, but it's something I need a reminder of more often than I care to admit. (although I just did I guess lol)

[@timothycummings795]

Hi Joee thats Sam driving.

[@joeesparks7]

Thank u Tim🙏🏽

[@jeanwyenberg2774]

This song puts a smile on my face every time!!

[@garygreen1782]

Two ambitious young men with two mobile phones. It is what it is 🤷🏼‍♂️ love it!

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

This is probably my favourite Ren track. I always go back to this one. It's just a whole vibe. When you're having a shit day or just feeling a bit down, this song gets you back up... And gives you power 😉

[@tma4528]

All day IDGAF...we all want to be in the back seat for this ride! Edit: You 100% hit the reaction vibe back in the day... "You gotta hear this" was the preface for something new, cool, fresh and we're lucky to get that so consistently with Ren!

[@tanya_loves_u]

"Power" is one of those feel good songs that I can put on and just dance and chill -whether in the car or at home....but it's one of my jams. Thanks for covering it. And sorry I'm not big on commenting, cause I don't wanna bother...but gonna try to help the algorithm. You rock Joe E Sparks. Love your peaceful vibes.

[@kazpwright]

They are peaceful and they soothe my soul. He’s not an energy vampire and it makes alot of difference ❤

[@Ph4n_t0m]

Yuurrr! I'm so excited about you seeing this one. Not so much for the camera work (ofc coz you're you) but also or mainly personally because I call this one, paired with "Losing it" my 'breakfast of champions'... Power up and start my day right. On feeling sixteen yeah we're roughly the same age and I"m still wondering when the dumb teen is gonna finally be done with his ish... 😅

[@KatSnow11]

So glad you loved this! It’s such a great song in so many different ways. Ren keeps it real - so many of us can relate to being pricks at 16, even more can relate to parents splitting up. Shit happens and life usually doesn’t go as planned, and that’s just the way it is. Ren chose to focus on his own power, and if he can do it in spite of all he’s been through - then all of us can too. ❤

[@lesleyd2448]

Well said ✌️

[@barbarahatcher5942]

Always look forward to Ren and Joe E. Thanks for dropping this!

[@breebeee3]

Sam mouthing the lyrics/singing along as he's driving almost gives off the vibe that Ren isn't even in the car rapping but he's just listening and vibeing with the radio as he drives.

[@aimeekeel]

It’s just such a wholesome and down to earth video that everyone can relate to it.

[@Pablopax4]

Joe, "Children of the Moon", can I tempt you with a horror Reggae Ren & Sam video?

[@briannafey]

oooh, yes, that would be a good one from a film point of view!

[@stevenmcleod3251]

Would love to see you interview Sam that would be 🔥

[@denalinde]

Absolutely love this song. I’ve had it on repeat for weeks & try to catch any new reactions to it. Thanks as always for sharing your lens with us! 💜

[@kazpwright]

I do that with Ren too. Reactors are so different I enjoy it all over again and again and again 🥰

[@tribullfpv8485]

Hey Joe did you notice that all the car interior shots were reversed so that the steering wheel would seem to be on the right side for an American audience (the writing on Sam’s shirt is reversed)?

[@sarahmmedia]

Still one of my favourite Ren tracks to this day. I genuinely like the simple approach to this video, sometimes the over produced videos can get a bit stale - despite how cool they can be.

[@tyghe_bright]

Definitely one of my favorite Ren songs. Really easy to listen to and such a great groove and message.

[@iamsquatty]

Im not sure if youve watched the ren interview on with BP but sam makes an appearance at the end that i think youd appreciate 😂💜

[@rebeccaburnell9319]

Good catch with the angle of the brim of Sam's hat! I never had the impression that it was a single "run through" of the lip synch in the car anyway, but I love finding the various small details that show stuff like that and while I'd figured out the varying sunlight on their faces over different shots, I hadn't noticed the small discontinuities with Sam's hat. re: do we sometimes feel like we're those 16yr old pricks we once were? In my case, nope. I feel utterly severed from the kid I was in high school, for better or for worse (there are downsides to that).

[@pennytipp]

This is in my top 5 Ren! LOVE it! 🙌

[@corinnelabita]

This is one of my top 3 favorite Ren songs! I was so excited to see you release this one 😁💖

[@sherribrock2726]

I don’t comment often but I watch every time I’m notified that you are doing something. I’m loving your channel and energy!💜💜😁

[@bellagioB88]

Brings back Topaz memories!! Love it 📻🔊

[@JohnMayfield-NS]

This is one of my fan Ren songs because it's just fun. Sure there's some messages in there, but it's just something to bop to.

[@dottedlinewent]

This is my absolute FAVORITE Ren song of all time. It never ceases to immediately put me in a great mood. 🎉❤

[@FinnBunny67]

Oh yeah, great reaction, great video and great song that is in my "driving playlist" for good. Thanks Joe E

[@internettie1960]

One of my favorite reactors/reviewers (you) taking on one of my favorite songs by Ren & Sam.

[@MissMeKate]

I love watching these videos through your eyes, and amplified by your feelings. However many times I've seen a video, you show me new things and remind me of the joy of the very first time. The way music moves through you is just such a privilege to share a little piece of. I'll forever watch this one and imagine you dancing with them in the back seat. ❤

[@heartwork8318]

Just two dudes riding and bopping! 😂 love your style and passion Joe E! This one always makes feel good! ✌🏻🫶🏻

[@silor69]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@joeesparks7]

Thank u🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@GarnetJ]

Love this one!! Such a jam. And Ren + Samuel = Dynamic Duo ❤️ Enjoying your Ren journey!

[@belspeth]

Ah your joyful face and bouncing along feeling the vibe of the music is great to watch. It shocks me how many reactors just sit still to Ren's music. How can you not bounce along to this!

[@ellesee7079]

Once again, you slayed with the producer angle! I love this song, and watching two mates vibing in the car - it's just great. Thanks Joe E 🤗

[@SeanF374]

You are producing some great and unique content on this channel. Its something different. Thanks.

[@kathiloadholt]

This is one of my favorite songs of his.

[@JulieAiken]

I absolutely love the experience you bring to your reactions! Learning from you every time. Thanks!

[@Shiroar]

This song is such a vibe but still has a serious message. Ren doing Ren 😅 He has definitely found his power and we are lucky he shares what he does with it 😊

[@adwil7196]

Thanks again Joe. I like this vid because Sam and Ren just seem to be having fun making it. Also Sam can't help singing along at times.

[@ryanclarke4482]

Another great reaction 💙keep stepping forwards

[@xchakeix]

I 100% vibe with you feeling like it brings you back to being a teenager and talking about music with my friends. This is exactly how I feel about this reactor space. It was something I didn't know I was missing in my life. Awesome reaction as usual. Your fanboying of Sam is delightful.

[@kazpwright]

I didn’t know I was missing it in my life either until ‘Hi Ren’ appeared on my feed. I love this space!

[@aimeekeel]

One of my favorites, just such a feel good tune.

[@Seamus.MacLeod]

Yes, I deal with my teenage self on a daily basis. Can't ditch the dayjob! It's Ren's voice in the sample. Yeah, I love this one; it shows that no matter how low you get, you can focus on your power, whatever brings you happiness.

[@gabbymcclymont3563]

I love that Ren says he was a prick i was a PLB, pleb is a wonderfuly Brittish word.

[@natebristlin]

Joe E. You and BP are hands down my favorite. Just love your reactions.

[@ljwethington4162]

I can watch this one over and over!

[@darlinesly9364]

It is fun and an uplifting vibe. Shout out to Nat King Cole . I love my cup ain’t half full I’m filling the whole bucket. And the message to focus on your power. I love this! And I’m happy that you see the face behind the video magic finally! Thank you as always for your reaction! 🙏

[@DyvmSlorm]

Sometimes? Ask my wife. She'll tell you. At 55 I'm her youngest 16-year-old kid 95% of the time

[@Peacetrain66]

Such a feel-good, empowering song. Love it☀️

[@h0rr0rshow]

And now hes #1 in the UK!! 😀

[@bethosbornefischer3315]

Samuel and Ren together can do no wrong. Neither can Sam and Ren, but that is a different video. 😉

[@tracysmith2130]

Nothing like the slowwww flip off LOL. Great job Joe. Love your reactions ever since I saw you on BP

[@Veeliscious]

Power is my go-to song to give me Renergy to get on and focus on the shite I keep putting off - like housework lol - I always feel happy when I listen to this doing my chores and bopping to the positive beat. Interesting spot on noticing thd light change in the cut - never noticed that before despite watching it probably 50 times by now and had always assumed it was a 1 take with 2 cameras. I like this simplicity of this video. My favorite part is just the speeded up driving through the streets at the end

[@kazpwright]

‘Renergy’ That’s a new word for the next edition of the Oxford Dictionary!

[@WelshAmethystGirl087]

This is my fav banger from ren

[@Indianatanner]

the great ren, great song and flow from ren on this one, great reaction my dude

[@mrdarengilbert3907]

Joe E….. man…. The FORCE is definitely with you bro I’ve watched POWER …. maybe 30 or 40 times, and just watching this with you reacting today for the first time and straight away you point out shit I haven’t noticed before….. much respect. Take care Daz

[@gtrzero2157]

Dope as always. Ren is a breath of fresh air. Fun content.

[@CPegRun]

Joe E, you have the kindest of faces!!! You’re eyes say so much about your character to me!! You’re so clever in your work!! You amaze me and I’m very proud of you!! Keep it up my friend!!! You’ll always have my support!! This 60 yr old white lady just loves listening to what you have to say about these vids, from your POV!!! You’re brilliant!!!

[@danielchandler5757]

One of the first things I noticed about this video is that it's flipped/mirrored. The logos on their clothes are backwards and they're in the UK so the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

....he flipped the script....

[@nigeltuttiett5730]

No the steering wheel is on the correct side, it's just you all drive on the wrong side 😂👍

[@sampanther8854]

It's a good buzz ❤

[@davidjames3080]

Love your breakdowns Joe, you give something that no other reactor does or can do. And Joe E plus Ren/Sam is a no-brainer click and like, I don't even have to 'accidentally' brush the like button!

[@tanya_loves_u]

I love your reviews. Excited about this one. Love "Power."

[@sourgir-wh6xd]

😔💭 RIP Carrie Fischer 👑 Princess Leia 👑

[@dianeemanuel8541]

Loved this track - but seeing it from your pov added to the experience. Great job❤

[@Maggsreacts82]

Yoooo you are one of my favorite reaction channels! We see things so similarly! ❤😂I feel like we were somehow best friends in a parallel universe 😂

[@jennywight9119]

Fantastic reaction! This is definitely my favorite Ren song. Loved watching you bop along to it!!❤

[@Skittenmeow]

How do you pick a favourite?😅 for me my favourite Ren song changes minute to minute, mood to mood, day to day... just depends on what I need in the moment. But yes this song is so good and well up there.

[@bevc5349]

Briliantl reaction Joe E! ❤ I would love to see a co lab between you and Sam at some point! Preferably with Ren and Mr BP, that would be amazing 🤩

[@vanessaswift9132]

My favorite 💕

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

This is one of my fave Ren tunes! Love it, nice react 🖤😊

[@ms.lisamarie82]

Yay!! You got to see your boy Sam in this one! 🥰

[@rexrogers1859]

Thanks, Joee ✌️

[@sharonwilliams2764]

Love all your reactions to Ren and Chinchilla ❤. This is my favourite Ren tune...if i have a favourite...i probably say this about every Ren tune though... but this is such a positive message 💕. What a sweet man you are Joe...so glad I found you through BP 🙌

[@ZanOrion]

Power is a fav. ❤Ren! The Hunger is good too!

[@gwynethzen77]

Love Ren, love your channel, love this track, love your shirt!! ❤

[@staceyk5682]

Great reaction! I think Sam mentioned that he wished he would have taken more time to learn the words before filming! He probably would have lip synced the whole thing😅

[@terrieb13]

I love this song and video! Love your reactions! ☮️❤️😎

[@markstuartwakeley]

Respect J luv ya man stay safe

[@SIRAssassin888]

Always love your vibe fam, your reactions are educational but such a great time.. you make them personal keep it up.. would love to see a collaboration with you and sam on something.. would be fire

[@supertuscans9512]

Th boys were just talking about you in BP’s channel.

[@ianme9409]

such a summer time beat

[@EleanorThinks]

I really enjoy your perspective. After watching your reactions, I can't help looking through pictures and videos I've taken to see how they could be better. I think I have a whole new hobby. Thanks!!

[@brl0522]

The lighting is different bc he’s facing the sun a different way. He’s moving

[@jeffmartin_UK]

Great reaction Joe. But the one thing, which I posted a comment about on the original video about 9 days ago(I had a feeling no one reads my comments)😒, you didn't mention is that the video was flipped left to right. You can see the logo on Sam's top is back to front. It makes it look like they're in an American left-hand drive car.😁 Edit: I managed to get further through the comments and see some others have pointed out the same. I'm still happy though as I pointed this out on Rens original video earlier.😜

[@lesleyd2448]

Ayyyyeeeee my jam when I have a rough day 💜💜🔥🔥💃💃

[@anthonyhamilton8007]

Yes ren driving BRISTOL streets for the video,😃😎he trained music in bath spa university,Bath🇬🇧

[@jeffmartin_UK]

Oh. I automatically thought it was Brighton because of him living there.👍

[@anthonyhamilton8007]

He drove past my mates front door🤣

[@patcow9999]

Hey Joe, your videographer eye on this is as usual, a refreshing take. One observation I would add, you're right, it is not the usual one take, which I think works brilliantly in a Ren on the move video ala Genesis, Animal Flow, Money Game 1, Murderer etc. However, can you imagine how boring a single one take camera would be in a car? Plus, I think Driver Sam, who no doubt set up the car cameras, does his hand dancing, which can only be allowed when car is at a stop. It needs chopping to give the song extra life IMO.
