Back on 74 / Message in a Bottle REN Reaction

[@nm44Sergie]

If you want to see Ren harmonise with men, then Swan Song and Bongo Bong by the Big Push are the ones to listen too.

[@chrisparti]

and 'English man in New York'

[@davebrown9707]

And praise you fatboy slim cover

[@AdamBazille]

And "War pigs" cover

[@toniyoung5131]

Also Praise You and Englishman In New York

[@AdamBazille]

"Is there anything this guy can't do".....NOPE! 😂😂❤

[@Dr.Brummel]

Somewhere I read a comment like this: "If he would just jump into the air and fly, everyone would say: Of course he can fly. And of course he can do it better than most birds." 🙂👍❤

One cannot be told how versatile Ren is. You just have to experience it for yourself.

[@SwiftReactions]

So true. I am learning but I'm still shocked how different each song or performance is.

[@TheSwede9]

The man is a chameleon when it comes to music. I've never in my life heard of anyone as versatile as he is in so many different genres. He just seems to love playing music and it shows! Great reaction.

[@adam.4487]

This is the video that I think have a lot of ladies swooning over Ren, ladies of all ages. LOL It's just THAT good! Ren transforms himself into new a person every time he picks up a guitar or sits at a piano. The music moves him, music is transformative. Thanks for reaction.

[@toniyoung5131]

Yep. This and Man's World

[@reactivereplays5666]

I've been on the "Ren rabbit hole" for a year now, while bingeing... The well of talent seems endless! Every song is a new exciting journey! I have not felt like this in a very long time!

[@seangrover6101]

Great reaction, this is one of my favorites. Message in a bottle is from The Police. Ren has said that Sting is a big influence on his singing and it shows. Another great Sting cover is The Big Push doing English man in New York. Keep up the good work

[@SwiftReactions]

Cheers Sean 🍻🙏👋

[@Mabus_Incarnate]

Ren just showing off his vocal range here, what a stunning talent this guy is.

[@patriciaobrien6600]

Yes, he is crazy talented! I loved your expression when he went into the lower register with Message in a Bottle ❤ gets me everytime! Fun, silly video is with TBP with😮 Sweet Little Lady 😅

[@francesdoll4039]

Sting is the singer and the Police is the band. Ren's voice naturally has many of tbe tones and range of Sting. He has done several Sting covers. One of his influences along with John Fruciante and Jeff Buckley . I agree that Englishman in New York and Swan Song(wtitten by Gorran Kendall) are both great harmonizing with the boys.

[@ianrose56]

It's another Ren banger.!!! Love it,great reaction. Message in a bottle was The Police. British Band,lead singer, was Sting.!! The Police are one of Rens big Influences.!! Check the Police out for a real idea..❤🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧❤️🎸🎸

[@donald1379]

On bass is Kai Lacey on backup vocals are Sylvia Mwenze and Scarlett Fae.Ren picked a talented group of artist to Jam with.❤❤❤❤.

[@philk9227]

Great reaction. If you want to hear something totally different from Ren with incredible harmonies then listen to the Big Push singing Swan Song. It is a hidden gem amid the more popular choices with the added bonus of Ren playing yet another instrument 🙂

[@kevinpelletier9547]

Very happy you reacted to this! I'm glad you enjoyed it. ;-) If you haven't checked out Bongo Bong with the Big Push that is a nice one too.

[@Lynxeye-Youtube]

It's a huge joy, isn't it?!... It's our ARTIST... Ren! So good! Thanks for the reaction.

[@Erndog67]

Ren with Sam Thompkins doing Blind Eyed, the MC version. Jaw dropping the way they play off each other.

[@peterveste6976]

Thank you for continuing to react and support my favourite artist ever love your reactions more Ren please ❤❤

[@mrsainsburys1]

Wow indeed lol, love this song and reaction, Bongo Bong is a great live harmony, thank you 🙏🐊❤️🦉👍

[@martinashfield8973]

As you would know by now the Message in a Bottle is the Police from the U/K. As soon as you said an Australian band I thought of Men at Work as the lead singer Colin Hay, sounds similar to this style and tone too.

[@jasonremy1627]

Everything Ren does is a surprise. All of it.

[@piwaka50]

Hey Cuzzie, a bit of backstory to this retake: Ren released a BTS (Behind The Scenes) video on his patreon channel recently. The BTS was put together by his friend Kai - the guy playing bass guitar here with Ren. The setting is a bar in Brighton, (Bar Valentino) and they only had a few hours to do the shoot, having to be out by 3:00 pm as the bar was opening at 5:00 pm. All in all this video went from a germ of an idea from Ren - to the finished product in just eleven days, and during the Xmas break. Kudos to Ren, Sam, and the small team. A standout scene in the BTS, is Ren sitting on a couch in his apartment, rehearsing his lyrics - with a drip attached to his arm. He is still receiving almost daily treatment to restore his damaged immune system, all while producing this quality music. The man is a legend. Nice reaction. Kia kaha from NZ

[@SwiftReactions]

Cheers for that cuz!

[@troytucker3467]

He is wonderful, and so are you mate! Much love.

Lol. Cheers Troy. Good to see you back 👋🙏🍻

[@dalemurray1318]

He could do an album of just that smooth jazz sound, I live it.

[@DG-dy4tv]

The Hunger is mind blowing and good times, not sad.

[@mldkenny]

I can't get enough of this track, just love it. Harmorising ............ try The Big Push doing " Praise You " and Swan Song" they will blow you mind!!! I really like the way you split the screen 1/3 and 2/3 really is the perfect balance to enjoy your reaction and their performance.

[@SwiftReactions]

Cheers. I appreciate your comment. 🍻🙏👋

[@sigally]

So glad you did this one My new favorite. 😊😊Two suggestions. On the light side is Uninvited. This is how Ren describes it in Rolling Stone UK. "This one is probably the most pop sounding track on the record. It’s a bit of a parody on cheesy love songs, packed full of euphemisms, and horrendously catchy." Another one of his newer ones is Fred Again Mashup. Ren's take on songs from UK artist Fred Again. If you prefer old school hip hop another new one is Nas Halftime Retake. All great!

[@SwiftReactions]

All great suggestions. Thanks 🍻🙏👋

[@BLIND82]

Ren is exceptional at everything! For pure poetry Ren I would highly recommend penitence with Molly Mckinna. It's beautifully hard hitting but immaculate aswell.

[@dukecunning7046]

AWESOME. Glad that you had a chance to check this one out. Thanks!

[@user-Terry314]

One of Ren's persona's is obviously a lounge lizard. Enjoying your reactions by the way. Cheers from Melbourne.

[@waynewerner9042]

Another beautiful reaction. Check out the original Back on 74 by Jungle for some great dancing and smooth vocals. Two weeks before this dropped, Ren dropped Fred Again Mashup. A showcase for his singing ability if there ever was one. I know you'll love it. He's a vocal shape shifter.

[@rveino2978]

🔥👍🤟

[@StefanVillkatt]

Love your reactions; keep em comin! Power is also a lighter song!

[@lesfarrar7817]

Truly loved this reaction to this piece. Very much love your work. Thankyou. ❤

OK.... Englishman in New York. The Big push. (Sting cover) Incl. Dog 😂❤ Even lighter than this... 😊 The harmonies are insane. Great reaction. 🎉🎉🎉

Ren is just awesome especially with this song. Plus he looks sexy and relaxed. Please do Fred Again mashup. It’s really good

[@audivawalsh2983]

I just realised he's wearing his suit from Money Game 3. I wonder if he was filming these in the same time period.

Awesome. Welcome to our little community of music lovers. I'm so glad you could join us 🍻👋🇦🇺

[@AlSnoopsReid]

Did I see someone absolutely "melt" when Ren appeared, lol. Bit of a crush perhaps?????? I can't blame you tbh.

[@SwiftReactions]

Guilty as charged. This is definitely the sexiest look and sound I have come across so far from REN and I'm here for it!!!

[@eryksun]

Check out The Big Push "Live from home (LiveNation broadcast)" on their channel @TheBigPushBand. It's a 25 minute performance from spring 2020, on a bed in Gorran's room in the flat that they shared in Brighton. They performed 3 originals -- "Radio" (lead vocal: Ren), "Slow Down" (lead vocal: Gorran), and "All My Heroes" (lead vocal: Ren). They also performed 2 covers -- "Bongo Bong" (lead vocals: Ren & Romain) and "Come Together" (lead vocals: Gorran & Ren). There's plenty of harmonising in their performance, especially in "Radio" and "Slow Down". They're relaxed on camera, going with the flow, friendly, and even funny. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXSuYmiLZ7aJgLs

[@schmeevo1]

For the lighter side of Ren check out Englishman in New York, Bongo Bong, and Praise You. Fun but no less epic performances

[@dave.james007]

Awesome reaction please check out Ren and Sam Tompkins Earned it man's world its incredible 👍👍✌️

[@williamparrish9954]

back on 74 is by Jungle message in a bottle is by the Police you should do Jungle back on 74 so u can see the difference between the two

[@SwiftReactions]

Great idea. Thanks William 🍻🙏👋

[@waynebingham4296]

check out penitence, one of his best ones, its one of those you dont know you needed in your life

[@yonahgrossman7319]

Another great reaction. "Is there anything this guy can't do?" Well, he can't rap while dribbling a basketball, and if he ever gets in a boxing ring, he's going to need that bottle of chloroform, but other than that, no, there's nothing he can't do... And you've still only seen a fraction of it.

[@SwiftReactions]

Oh ye of little faith. I think he could rap and dribble a basketball...

[@scottlaurenson3390]

Check out Ren and Sam Music Crowns Blind Eyed 🔥🔥🔥. ✌️♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

Coming soon. Not sure if I should do each part separately though. Any thoughts?

[@kevint89]

@@SwiftReactions You can do them separately, it's not a continuous story like The Tale of Jenny & Screech. There's 3 parts, you can do them in order.

[@xdaniedx]

You HAVE to check out any busking video with Ren and Sam Tompkins. They're amazing together! Check out them doing "Latch" or "Earned it, Man's World, Falling" and even their own original song "Blind Eyed" and there's two live versions that are both AMAZING. One is on a KZbin channel called "Music Crown" and the other is titles "Ren and Sam Tompkins Blind Eyed featuring the Angry Car Park Attendant" hahaha Awesome reaction and I definitely dropped a sub!

The original is by the police they are British
