Hi Ren (cover, duh)

[@tzvibendaniel2045]

Dude! Is really a suicide to attempt that song live! Lol you did a fair job for an incredibly difficult song to play AND sing. Kudos!

[@MariaCalfaDePaul]

Really gutsy of you to tackle this song. And in front of a live audience. I enjoyed listening to it and I actually got to understand a few of the lyrics that I might have missed in the original. Let’s not forget how difficult this song is to learn on guitar and sing and play and MEMORIZE. That is an accomplishment in and of itself. Nice cover ! Congrats and good luck with your own career.

Hello, just Want to tell the full text, is now on the Original hi ren song.

[@carlahelin5203]

Some of the lyrics did stand out more for me as well. Way to go! Love people sharing Ren and what a super tricky song to do and LIVE!!! At first people where talking in the background and then by mid song you could have heard a pin drop.

[@olegizdna]

Ahm it's not so hard to memorize it after you hear it for hundreds and thousands of times 😂

[@consentofthegoverned5145]

Bringing Ren to the Hamms and PBR audience! Bold! Thank you- they need Ren as much as we all do.

[@HazySusan]

😂😂 You have no idea how accurately "The Hamms and PBR Audience" describes this bar and its wonderful regulars. Spot on!

[@jbiggy85]

My bro drinks Hamms I made him listen to this back in Sept!

[@jadecharper1]

The way the audience went from full ignoring to deafening silence, you nailed this shit

[@scottwatson9453]

That was really gutsy of you to do. Bravo!

[@HazySusan]

Thanks! Definitely had shaky knees before/during/after. Obviously nowhere near as moving as the original, but I feel reasonably happy about it :)

[@scottwatson9453]

@@HazySusan Yeah, the sound quality was a bit dodgy but had nothing to do with how you performed yourself. The people talking while you did the very important surprise element of the initial build up was lost on them I would suggest you get your hands on an electric nylon string guitar and Pluck the fuck out of the drop D. D string, and DEMAND!! those chatty people shut up and pay attention whether they want to or not!

[@scottwatson9453]

@@HazySusan And I hope Ren himself stumbles over this as he does enjoy watching people digging his stuff and he would be really proud of you for having the cahoonas to even bring that to a stage with an indifferent crowd to spring it on. It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll. Took 10 years for Ren to get real recognition. Now he's off and racing but still years of dedication and devotion to hone his craft. You have my respect and for those that are way past "about" to rock We salute you. 👍😊🎸

[@trentblack6381]

Here I am commenting on this cover 7 months later. This took a lot of courage to get up in front of those people and attempt this masterpiece. You did a superb job. Thank you, thank you for sharing your rendition.

[@beccibishop589]

Whhhooaaa. Was nervous initially, but you did an awesome job - a crazy hard, intricate piece with such nuance but you nailed it & added your own stamp to it. Excellent.

[@wordssoundsshapesshadows]

Man, not gonna lie, I expected a train wreck. That was really well done. Not sure if the mistakes were intentional but to keep composure like that was super impressive. Much love!!

[@HazySusan]

Thanks! They're honest mistakes. But we find it best not to dwell on them!

[@TheTreator8]

It was a train wreck.

[@anhai7867]

honestly, the mistakes add so much to this performance

[@TanyaTulip]

You capture the duality of the personalities amazingly.

[@buddykostelnik3124]

I'm a musician and Ren is very difficult. Not so much as music hard to play but timing between vocals and guitar. .

[@SykoNerd]

Wow that was really rad! I think Ren would dig it! This makes me want to see more of your work! Thank you for sharing this ✌️🖤

[@HazySusan]

Thank you! At the risk of blatant self-promotion.. quite pleased with this original: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4qoi4irnbCnotU

7:30 Everytime I hear a Hi Ren cover I say: “This is the hardest part and the best, I really hope they don’t do it wrong.” And I think you did it just perfectly, I got shivers. I’m not usual to comment down on covers and this one really desearves it.

[@Anatidaephobe]

Impressive cover, and huge stones for doing it live!

[@nenasadie]

This is awesome I think he would be so stoked to see this. Great job.

[@DavGarStanMoon]

Wow, brave man! Brilliant effort - well done...

[@strive4impact]

Tough song to cover. Even tougher in a live environment with whatever all was going on there. You nailed it. Really awesome. I'm working on my own rendition, infused with my internal dialogue, and I hope I can honor the song as you have done so well here.

[@strive4impact]

Love how the bar just shuts up when you get to the part exposes the darkness to light. Wow. What happens in that venue with this song is like catching lightning in a bottle. Beautiful.

[@simonrichards6739]

I really hope Ren has seen this as it’s a brilliant cover and he’ll love that people on the other side of the pond get to hear it.

[@PiotrAndrychiewicz]

Lol, to do this live you got some balls, Great job ;)

[@Walters1]

Well done mate! Not an easy song to atempt to sing, let alone performing it live like you did! Nicely done!! 👏💪

[@RainbowDancer.]

Dude this good for a first time cover !. Luv it .. Your good !!.. like to see more tunes from you! Luv peace & harmony….🧙‍♂️

[@lpmegs123]

so good!!!! i was hoping to see covers of this song. i loved your light/dark play of both sides of Ren. great job!

[@corteshuehuebr3055]

Great cover from a masterpiece song. Congrats ! cheers from Brazil.

[@SixStringNoiseBox-vv7lu]

Top effort dude. Like others have said, to try this live is taking it to another level. Well done bud. It's probably my favourite Ren song. He is a legend.

[@francesdoll4039]

I think you did a really nice job! Apparently only Ren can do those operatic sounds but i LOVE your dramatic interpretation. Huzzah

[@InterdimensionalWiz]

Really good rendition, we are so proud of Ren here in the UK.

[@MisterNatMan]

gave me as many chills as the original. like a new rollercoaster hearing it from a different voice and tempo, kudos for remembering all the lyrics and doing it live!!!

Great attempt man. I mean that sincerely. You just showed how difficult and intricate this song actually is and, by so doing, just how incredibly talented Ren is. Well done bro and thank you for spreading the RENaissance. Please keep practising this - you have a unique take on it that could really work, once you iron out all those very intricate and difficult pieces. As a fellow musician and fellow admirer of Ren, I wish you all the very best.

[@mdagis]

Great performance !!

[@rerenaissance7487]

I just applauded a video on KZbin. You've sanctified Hi Ren as a great song, not just a captured 10 minutes of artistic brilliance. It's an actual song, now, it's out there. People will play a guy called Ren who is at war with himself when they sing a song called Hi Ren. I might do a melodeon version for folk sessions, the F-bombs replaced with a Northern English "bloody". Anyway, a perfect cover. Not an impersonation, a delivery of the song, with just enough changes to show your own style. All the emotion, but enough distance to avoid it being cheesey (not trying to make it autobiographical, like the original is for Ren, not pretending to have gone through that). Outstanding.

[@HazySusan]

LOVE the idea of a melodeon cover/interpretation. Please do it and upload it so we can all see!

[@DudeSilad]

Fantastic job. You could hear a pin drop. Totally captivated the audience.
