[@KevL_262]

This performance opens up the genius of Ren even more if you know the original songs! How he puts 5 EDM tracks in an acoustic mashup with so fluent crossovers between the songs is so outstanding! ❤❤

[@Dicodec]

Ahhh that is so cool almost felt like one song

[@Dicodec]

I’ve seen him do this with the big push

[@karakreer6344]

​@@Dicodec the Fred Again songs that Ren samples in this mashup are - Jungle - Delilah (pull me out of this) - Leave me alone - Clara (the night is dark) - Angie (I've been lost) Also, check out the Tiny Desk that Fred Again did 🔥❣️👏

[@UlfBengtsson]

I just want to second that. Freda again’s Tiny Desk Concerts is… simply amazing. How an EDM Dj can transform his own work like that is mind-blowing.

[@annasylvester4516]

Fred Again did a wonderful NPR Tiny Desk Concert available on YT.

[@jeffbowden8367]

Dude, firstly, the last part of this song hits everyone hard and secondly (trust me on this, I’m 67) saying “boobies” out loud will always be funny 😂

[@TheBorderRyker]

🤣🤣🤣

[@woodywoodman2319]

BOOBIES!!!! LMBO... Trudat! 😊

[@viracocha03]

Both are statements of fact. Great comment dude. 🤣

[@DogDocKat]

This is such an incredible performance. The end part hits like a brick! I felt it too. Great reaction and breakdown ❤❤

[@Dicodec]

I totally agree!

[@adriancorkerball4464]

Lol their is vocal experts, guitar experts and filmographers all reacting to Ren, all have some insight on how good the work is, Ren is truly something else.

[@jeffwilson3205]

He’s an empathy conduit. You immediately know that he knows pain and loss. So wild to watch everyone bop to this until the last section. 😢

[@polyesterspecter]

I swear, Ren has made my cry more than anyone. One second we're good, 30 seconds later, tears. He's magical. Always love your reactions!

[@drealyn1486]

great reaction. you don't expect a mash up of edm songs to hit you, but the way Ren weaves them together and makes it his own is amazing, not to mention that it's a whole friggin journey.

[@iamlpinthe312]

After reading comments in several reactions I feel less alone in that I cried about half way through and was utterly wrecked by the end. Ren has a way of connecting with his listeners on such an emotional level.

[@donald1379]

In tears by the end...Ren is incredible❤thanks.

[@TeslasTeaParty]

The resonance Rens voice whether he is rapping or singing is all over ther place but somehow he manages to hold the notes and deliver beautiful vocal control. I've never come across another artist that has managed a deliver a vocal in that manner... I still can't get my head round it! Without a doubt the most talented,creative and not to mention the most likeable artist to come out of the UK in the last 30 years... we are truly blessed!

[@larrymenconi5287]

If you go watch the Fred again songs he pulled from , this video and arrangement becomes even more genius

[@Dicodec]

Is this anyones first time hearing REN? Here is my entire playlist of Ren reactions kzbin.info/aero/PL1flmTbuu_RE2YGS5riHVbIpGi-bb42D_

[@frankensteinfpv]

Never heard it before, But the amount of reactors and comments today on this track saying Ren could sing the phonebook or shopping list is crazy! But also very true. And we would all be just as captivated... Another great reaction brother...

[@sistermoon1970]

Only Ren can have us, laughing, vibing, hyped and then getting hit in the feels all in one song. The production in this I feel has gone up another level. He seems to be mastering all of his skills

[@TheManatarium]

Ren always gets us all man

[@Peacetrain66]

Last part hit me hard. You can see that he feels it to his core 😢glad you saw that! Thank you❤

[@seagull01-cp8pb]

The ending is beautifully sad. Every time I see his shaky hand grab his knee, that’s when I tear up. 👍💕

[@brigittemainella6412]

What an incredibly moving and powerful song! Ren is a special artist who creates beautiful music! Shout out to Fred Again who is extremely talented also! Thanks for your reaction ❤

[@viracocha03]

It gets better every time you hear it. Ren is a true gem.

[@wombles67]

One thing I like about your reaction videos is you appreciate both the musicianship and the emotions in Rens songs, I usually hate reactions where people try to play along as they don't really pay attention to the feelings in the music, just the technical side of it, but you are able to do both 👍

[@Dragonartykay]

The Artist is called Fred again. What Ren means by Big up Fred is give or show Fred again Love. Great to see you back on a Ren reaction. Thank you.

[@Thomas.Saunders]

Thanks Alan, appreciate your insight into the production. And yeah, I was afraid the last of this would hit you hard, it's very powerful. See you again soon.

[@arielbussart1305]

Those "cracking" moments bring so much emotional power! It changes my soul!

[@MrBluegrouse]

The ending definitely packs a punch. Always enjoy your reactions.

[@robmarar]

These song covers in this mash-up are from some of Fred Again music catalog (( UK Artist/DJ/Musician/Producer )) Ren's mash up is comprised of the main hooks from these EDM tracks by Fred Again, an acoustic performance by Ren makes this an outstanding stand alone piece. It's Genius!!🤯 - Jungle🔥 - Delilah (pull me out of this)🔥 - leave me alone🔥 - Clara (the night is dark)🔥 - Angie (i’ve been lost)🔥

[@fourcornersofbrighton]

So happy to see you coming back around to Ren. I always love your reactions! In regards to how he is able to create the cracks in his voice, Ren mentioned in an interview one time that he learned a lot of those techniques through Chris Liepe's channel. I love the control he has over the rasp in his voice. It adds emotion but still sounds amazing!

[@francesdoll4039]

He does sing this countless times befors recording day. He says he doesn't want to have to even think about wether he is going to remember lyrics.

[@louannlang7471]

Just heard of Fred Again today ( lol no pun intended) and HAD to look him up. Big player on the U.K. scene as he is credited with producing "Ed Sheeran's 2019 No. 6 Collaborations Project" and several others BTW. I then watched Fred's Tiny Desk Concert on NPR radio ( its only like 1/2 an hr but WOW )and OMFG...So yeah...I'm replying before I watch your reaction. I've seen several already today and excited to hear your take on it.😎

[@Dicodec]

Well thanks for dropping a comment in advance

[@bobbycollins6783]

Yea the Tiny desk performance is amazing. When he sings it so emotional. I hope he gets to hear Ren's mashup.

[@d2ndborn]

The last part from I've been lost to the end has gotten everyone, including me for the lst 30 times I have seen the video. Great Break Down

[@barbarahatcher5942]

I promise it gets even better with every listen. Thanks for supporting Ren on your channel. Your analysis is always appreciated.

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

Yes, the "I've been lost" line has an impact like Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". The last reverb note is left ringing in the night.

[@sallymclachlan3005]

I appreciate your Ren reactions so much, you both seem people who are so knowledgeable and talented but struggle with finding whatever it is to make you feel complete.

[@coleeg69]

Everybody is boping their heads untill that last part.. That's what Ren can do. Making a EDM joint into an acoustic version with a mash up. Wow, who does that!!?? Ren is the goat for making us feel hurt during that last part.

[@MsCheesemonster13]

“Big up” is slang for “promote” or “celebrate”. The artist that Ren is bigging up is “Fred Again”. Your reaction to this is easily the best out of all of those that I’ve watched so far (I’ve watched far too many). Thank you for that. 💛

[@bobbycollins6783]

Look at the Fred again Tiny desk performance. You can see why Ren chose to do a mash up of his music. Very deep emotional and beautiful. And it's just him doing everything live. It's so good.

[@theresab.1857]

Fred Again does electronic dance music as far as I know. Would be interesting to see how he changed it up and stuff.

[@Dicodec]

Hey Theresa appreciate the comment I will check it out is it multiple songs?

[@theresab.1857]

@@Dicodec jep. I think 3 or 4..I can find out which ones if you want

[@theresab.1857]

@@Dicodec nvm, everyone else in the comments already listed them, lol

[@bobbycollins6783]

Check out Fred again's Tiny desk performance. You'll see why Ren chose to do this. It's a beautiful performance. Just him doing everything live. It's so good.

[@martinschulz-bruckner4155]

YES! You caught the tone of "very" that to me is the breaking point. From there on it's all melancholic emotions ❤

[@shannonlasell]

if you listen to him and how he arranges these songs especially live acoustic. he knows how to get close and personal, very intimate with the listener, almost talking and with what im talking about, is the subject matter, he hits the heart gets quiet and pesronal and then go extreme singing and pushing hard. it invokes emotions in us.

[@lleldridge1]

Wow, so great to see you back with Ren... thought we'd lost you. 😉😜 Always enjoy your breakdowns and guitar demos/improv. He's cueing up a lot of new music this year.

[@marianneszijj3362]

Always love your reactions and musical commentary. Ren really knows how to evoke strong emotions but why does he always wanna rip the tears out of our faces?! 😅 💔❤️‍🩹❤️

[@JoH4LH44]

Love your analysis of how he changes his touch on the strings. Nice. Enjoyed your reaction. Thanks 🎉

[@user-nf3xu9pw5e]

Спасибо, Алан! Люблю тебя слушать!

[@donnakurtz9293]

One of Fred again videos that goes along with one of the songs in this mashup has text at the beginning telling about how he has fallen in love and the person was really sick well he was doing all the shows. That little rendition for me is nothing compared to how he expresses it but it's worth finding showing him split between the two worlds and being on the phone all the time. Party and music then sitting on a bench out of the way trying to hear on the phone.

[@8lack8erry1]

This gets me every time too at the end 🥹the whole song is just beautiful. Love this thank you

[@adrienne1958l]

That last part got us all . ❤

[@cherylwilson8743]

That last part kicks my ass. Thank you for reacting, love your take on Ren.

[@stephenbarr773]

Your reactions always have so much meaning for me, thank you.

[@alanmai5656]

he just gets us! its like hes one of us! hugs

[@mrdarengilbert3907]

Alan, sorry I haven’t been around for a bit…. you smashed this reaction, I started crying when I saw you relate… then you composed yourself…. Well done. I hope you are well man. I appreciate your vulnerable moments…. Not saying I want you to keep exposing yourself to moments like these as I know they are exhausting and personal…. But thank you for sharing the moments you do. I appreciate you I wish you well Take care Daz Berrima, NSW, Australia

[@thegingermenace8593]

I love Ren! He's my hallpass! 😂🩷🌷💜🪻💛🏵 This man is so talented! He's got a handsome face. I believe one of his parents is latino(a). That's why the strong influence! He JUST got me into hip hop.

[@Sabrina-wz9ko]

Appreciate the reaction and insight. Been listening to this mashup almost constantly since it dropped. When I'm not it's playing in a loop in my head anyway, but it doesn't sound quite as good yet. 😂 I'm so glad you played that clip of your song Phoenix at the beginning.. Loving it and La Casa Negra.. checking out the rest! I think you should definitely put out some videos of just you playing. Seriously! From what I've heard so far you're fantastic and I'd watch for sure. 💜

[@donnakurtz9293]

Talking about rhe colors and general vibe of this song and the next where he does Back on 79/Message in a Bottle (Retake)....also cool set / colors vibe.... Both are set up in similar fashion to the original. Part of his homage to the music he likes. Fred Again has one of these songs in a dark room with view of nighttime city too.

[@goatqi]

I'm just here to acknowledge that the beard is coming back 🤣 I'll watch later!

[@Dicodec]

Lol

[@CupcakeStrudel]

Big hugs to you Alan. The last part got me too. Appreciate you ❤️

[@NoraMorgan]

Loved your reaction so much!!!

[@mothermaclean]

That end hits me everytime

[@Causali1y]

The name of the artist is Fred Again. Big Up just means "Props to you" or "Respect".

[@brendabromley5528]

Another Great reaction thanks!🖤

[@jenniferpeavey3138]

We don't know Ren. Ren doesn't know us. But somehow, we all understand each other ❤

[@MissMeKate]

He completely sideswiped me at the end. Love sharing new Ren with you, I always hear something new. Sending you a hug, and hoping life is kind to you this week. ❤

[@user-ey9bt1bn6n]

Renagade here great reaction thank you

[@joannewilson2395]

You should look at Fred Again's tiny desk concert. It's amazing.

[@bobbycollins6783]

Totally agree one of the best T D performances I've ever seen. Love to see Ren do a Tiny desk. He would kill it.

[@TatjanaTomljenovic]

Just another thruly and emotional but proff. reaction from you bay the way phone book was sang Jeff B . if I m not mistaken,.one of my favorite ever. No tears came to me,only my throat tightened at the end .

[@robertandre778]

such a good voice 👍👍

[@carlahelin5203]

Ren really hits the heart. 💔

[@AnaSmyth]

Always enjoy you break down! This one hit home.

[@aprilsjoy107]

Every performance feels free, uncontrived and that’s how he reduces me to tears.❤

[@pistolpete501]

Really emotional. Great reaction. 👍

[@alanmai5656]

that end gotme hard too brother! hugs1

[@callmeeley]

So beautiful, i totally agree it got me to, great reaction ❤

[@nem447]

Oooh, almost at 100K

[@joyplant6275]

Ren got you again Alan 😮

[@jacks9624]

Loved your reaction, new it would hit. Do check out Fredagain, 'angie' is the last of the 5 which Ren used here

[@tessahermelin2117]

Great reaction. Thanks!

[@ready__to__fall]

The last part hits hard. 🖤

[@SandraP3796]

Great reaction and breakdown. Ren and this song makes my heart ache

[@Goodtide]

Fred again, Delilah. Actaual live 29. It's one of my personal favorites. Enjoy any of Fred again, again and again ✌️

[@joanne4692]

National treasure❤❤❤

[@connorh7912]

Ren is insanely good

[@melissagregor3403]

Great reaction. Need to do back on 74/message in a bottle retake from Ren. ❤ His patreon bts breaks down his mixing on this song

[@donnakurtz9293]

Hey dude go ahead just finally came up with you. Been awhile since I've been on your channel and always miss your insightful look at the music. I was here a lot at one point and it was all when I discovered Falling in Reverse as well as Ren. I have always appreciated your openness you're willingness to express your emotions and be real. Very uncommon it seems that much needed. I've always cared about myself that I cry for commercials I cry good things I cry any kind of emotional type thing and even though sometimes I'd like to be able to stem the flow I have also decided that I would much rather be that way in the opposite. Take care of yourself. Look forward to seeing you more.

[@schulme123]

Great reaction, Alan!

[@donnakurtz9293]

PS. I did watch this before trying to track down the original by Fred Again. I had never heard of him. So now what little I've dug into it I'm pretty impressed. It seems to be the case with Ren I end up discovering unknown jewels because he either samples / covers something or sings with them. I'm not sure if I just run across it all on its own I would have necessarily paid enough attention to recognize what was all happening.

[@donnakurtz9293]

Anyway I know you posted this a few weeks ago and I'm sorry to put so many posts that I've been excited about it. Hope you're good.

[@user-ci1oc1cd9v]

Thanks ❤

[@sigally]

Alan, what a great reaction! I love when musicians react to Ren, especially ones who sing.

[@Earthling-12358]

Thank you, great reaction as usual. I am understanding the technicalities better, listening to your breakdowns. 💕

[@anthonychapman9756]

It's so powerful, and even more so because its unexpectedly emotional, Bless you brother, great reaction!

[@Meow-Meow501]

This broke my heart.

[@tonyhunt4250]

He is just sooooooooo good

[@cas9065]

would love for you to do some Fred again.

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

I have been watching reactions to this all night and crying everytime at that end part! 😢 Great reaction 🖤

[@pinolskun8764]

Im watching all of these reactions passively while working and just wanted to day yours is one of the most enjoyable ones between them all :) cheers

[@MalcolmMXTaylor]

last part got me too. great reaction dude!!

[@shannonlasell]

great reaction

[@mldkenny]

This track is great bloody awesome! I really enjoy your reactions as you add so much interesting info!

[@shannonriley8837]

Great reaction! I was checking out your ren playlist you linked and it looks like ive seen them all.. but i was looking for Loco from the sick boi album and didnt see it. I would love to see your reaction to that bc of how he puts the song together!

[@belgand5555]

Thanks… ❤

[@margaretpickholtz8772]
