Ren - Fred Again Mashup - Beautiful and Raw!

It's amazing how Ren can always play something completely different, and yet still have it completely be Ren. Just beautiful.

4:55, that's Calgary Tower. The video was shot in Ren's flat in Calgary, CA.

[@francesdoll4039]

His friend Josh Stiles did the filming here. They must have cleaned Ren's flat😂😂😂😂

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Haha, yeah, it did seem too clean! Well done Josh with the camera, for sure.

[@REN4eva]

Yes, well, Only for the necessary camera angles it seems, judging on the BTS. The rest was as messy as usual 😆🥰

[@jasonremy1627]

6:24. Ren's internal metronome is amazing. Count it off. The rest after the ritardando on "everbody" is a perfect 2 count. He comes in on the 3 with "leave" exactly in time. It's one of the things I'm obsessed with on this song.

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Yes, absolutely. Just another thing on the list. The very long list.

[@kellyt5341]

This is Ren's apartment in Calgary, Canada. Fred again is a DJ/EDM looping mixer. Ren stripped it down and turned it into his acoustic version. I believe Fred again did use a vocalist on some of his tracks and grabs and mixes samples. Ren obviously resonated with the words in Fred again mixes and used them.

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Thanks - I'll need to check out the original. I've never not liked an original that Ren remixed, even though I hadn't heard of a few of them.

[@joanne4692]

Fred uses his friends' voices, then samples them on to his track, his ponoptical , emotive videos capture feelings and emotions, usually hidden.

[@jasonremy1627]

This is my favorite thing he's ever done. I can't get over how good this is.

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Yeah, I keep listening to it and every time it just feels like my first listen.

[@MrBluegrouse]

I think I’ve listened to this over 20 times now and I love it even more each time I hear it. That’s a rare thing for me.

[@LisaMagdalenaBardell]

Me too!!! 🔥

[@debthecpn]

4 days I’ve not listened to anything else. Mildly obsessed atmosphere. 😂

[@jasonremy1627]

@@debthecpn same.

[@zachsmith1741]

Thanks for the reaction! Great input and appreciation for Ren's music!

[@heikebroy8692]

This is so beautiful and i can't wait for the new album to come❤.

[@jasonremy1627]

Josh Stiles is the videographer on this one. I think he's shot a lot of the busking videos from Ren and The Big Push.

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Ah, that's pretty cool. I never knew who shot those.

[@alloralou4722]

I love how the camera pulls back when he’s singing leave me alone so cool! It’s dynamic and beautiful.

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

I hadn't actually noticed that. So many nuggets!

[@colonelcraner9499]

Pure talent!

[@sorenm.lairdsorries7547]

Thank you 🙏❤ Dad, Daughters (sometimes), and Drinks 💙 for your 🐷 Ren - Fred Again Mashup reaction! #ren #fredagain #fredagainagain #fredagainmashup #mashup #calgary

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Thanks! I've listened to it about 100 times since then, and don't think I've made it through once yet without it getting me in the feels.

[@Thomas.Saunders]

First of your Ren reactions I've seen. Thanks for this.

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

I wish I could do more.

[@Kibashino2]

LESSS GOOO

[@joanne4692]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤it's so majestic ❤❤❤❤

[@deanc486]

Can I suggest you check out Fred agains video Angie. It gives an insight to one of the parts in the mash up. Also Fred again did a Tiny desk show which I think highlights his talents and what Ren appriciates about him. Maybe take a look?

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Yeah, that sounds really cool :-) Angie: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4HPg2udrrunjdU Tiny desk: kzbin.info/www/bejne/apq0noOslMmHf5I Hopefully these are the right links; I'll give them a go!

[@deanc486]

Yes they appear to be the correct links. Tiny desk in particular I think shows his creativity. Enjoy

[@AlSnoopsReid]

@@DadDaughtersandDrinks Please let us know what you think of those Fred again numbers.

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

I've watched and reacted to both Angie and Tiny Desk Concert. I really enjoyed both, but I had to take the Tiny Desk one down, thanks to some KZbin nonsense.

Is that a viking horn you drinking out of?

Indeed it is!
