Hi! I create original music using a violin bow and guitar and play on the streets busking. Help me spread the love through my GoFundMe link. - gofund.me/5c3e4d95
The Pilot Episode of the Improv Project, where things are, that weren't there before.
The Improv Project is me sitting down with a guitar, and creating music with no previous planning, to demonstrate the way music is born, when we allow the mind to flow. This is the first video of many in this playlist, so subscribe to catch the new uploads :) If I reach 1000 subscribers, I guess I could begin running some live sessions down the line. "improv concerts etc".

Thank you 🙏❤ theguywithabow ❤ for your 🐷 Ren - Insomnia reaction! #ren #demosvoltwo #insomnia Treat your insomnia: Decide when you want to sleep. Prepare for bed. Take out all distractions. Get comfy in your second-most comfortable sleeping position. If you find your thoughts are having a party, take the back seat and watch them. Find the nice, friendly and light thoughts, and invite them to stay. Tell the heavy and difficult thoughts, that you will give them your full attention once you are fully rested - because they deserve your best and full attention. Once you will be rested, you will be able to deal with all that and stay on top. That's why for now they have to let the light thoughts have the field. After a while, you will feel that you're falling asleep. Turn into your best sleeping position and get the rest you need. Should you awake in the night with the heavy thoughts knocking, repeat. It is no trick, you will manage when rested, so first you rest, you sleep. It takes a little practice, but the effects are visible in a week (with what I have experienced and seen with others).
👏👍🎵🍯🤌🔥🙏🐝🍀
Actually, now I see that you have a lot of your own music here in the channel. Don’t know how I’ve missed them.
Your music is so soothing. I wish you would put out more of your busking. I don’t understand how you can improvise, I know nothing about music theory and I can’t sing, play any instrument or read notes. I often hear music playing in my head but I would never know how to transform it into reality.
Thank you :) I think we're able to hear the wrong notes, so our brain helps us avoid them 😆
It would be interesting to hear your breakdown of Precious. It's an earlier song that Ren did with The Big Push, which was the band he was in just before he went to Canada for treatment. P.S. If I could suggest that you show the whole frame of Ren's videos. They are so well crafted, and just like the music, I don't think any part is unintentional. If you shrink the size of the video, and show yourself next to this, we can see both the whole frame, and your reaction simultaneously. It's just an idea, thanks.
New subscriber here! Beautiful breakdown of the music. From interviews, Ren said that Yamaha not only agreed for Ren & crew to use this beautiful piano, but Yamaha delivered the piano and tuned it for them as well. Ren also said that every time Ren & Charlie had a break or some free time during setup, they would play this beautiful instrument because they just loved how it sounded. I mean, what’s not to love?❤️
What an incredible reaction. If I was an artist, I’d be so happy to receive this level of attention and appreciation. Thank you ❤ I could easily see Ren creating film scores.
@theguywithabow I think I saw you busking in Liverpool last Saturday afternoon...My dad had sadly just passed away that same morning, I was feeling so hopeless and your beautiful music brought my soul back to my body .... thank you
I'm so sorry...I'm glad you were able to find some peace on such a sad day. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Dean! This is a remarkable unpacking of one of my favorite songs. I'm working on a Reaction Concert to Crutch and I'd love to incorporate your reaction. Do you mind if I do that? I'm trying to create the concerts in such a way that they promote the featured reaction channels, but I also respect y'all way too much to want to make you angry or feel used. Right now I'm: (1) putting your channel name on the video whenever you speak so people can find you, (2) creating a youtube playlist with all the reactions used in a concert, and (3) shouting out prominently used reactions in the description field. Please see my channel if you want to get a sense of what I'm doing (click my user name to access channel). Thank you for your consideration!
Hi. Thanks! I'm more than happy for you to send peeps my way 👍
@@theguywithabow Thank you!!
I enjoy listening to you talk
I just felt myself smiling throughout this one. Love it.
This is so beautiful. I feel myself floating away on a cloud of music.
Thank you so much. A real confidence boost. I appreciate it!
My first thought seeing "Ren the Manipulator" was "looks like clickbait". Someone who manipulates others is, in typical English usage, doing it for selfish reasons, and I mean "selfish" in a negative way. It sounds like a pejorative at first, so it's good that you insist you don't mean it that way. (While instinctively, I don't like feeling manipulated.) This was the first reaction of yours that I've seen. I appreciate you interpretations, even if some of mine are different.
Yep, I'm trying to walk a line playing the UA-cam game of ..your thumbnail has to attract views....so it was a bit of a test to see what would happen :)
Why wouldn't yamaha want to get free advertising seen by millions of music fans?
Another fantastic musical breakdown! Where are all the Renegades? Let’s get them over here!
Love your analysis. People tend to focus on REN’s vocals and lyrics, so this is refreshing.
This is amazing. Thank you for teaching me something ❤
This is amazing. Thank you for teaching me something ❤
You're a wealth of musical knowledge. Awesome reaction..
By the way, what you call 'not children's voices' is the Bulgarian national ensemble with the song bre petrunka. This Bulgarian choir really sound special! Just try it!
Yup!. I knew it was a choir....who sound a bit like eerie children's voices . Lol 👍 I'll check them out properly though..:)
Please do the acoustic version, as well. 🙏
Your comment at 10:30 struck me. I have always loved music but currently i’m almost exclusively listening to Ren because the music is so dynamic-everything else sounds a bit flat. I feel the same about his voice. Thanks for helping all of us appreciate his compositional skill as well.
Virgin Rock reactor-a classical pianist/harpist-mentioned the opening piano was Grieg. Her reaction is also very good. Love hearing reviews by professionals. ❤
Loved it. Thank you.
Great reaction, new subscriber here! Cheers from Munich, Germany
Really cool.
Love this song. It doesn’t get much attention, but it really gives a glimpse of his the evolution toward Genesis and Hi Ren. Love your detailed breakdown of each of his songs. 💔❤️🩹❤️
I really love your insight! I’ve learned something, thanks.
I was thinking about my comment wither yesterday or day before & figured I was taking your reaction wrong, very sorry about that and thanks for the email.
I believe he is showing the experience of medical and medication manipulation, have you ever worked with anyone who has been in a psychiatric ward and experienced being mismedicated? The effects he uses in this song give a good glimpse into that world. I appreciate you criticism, but believe his production was to convey a very frustrating personal experience…he did a great job on this song and it’s message. Does that mean that he is tricking us? interesting way to convey your breakdown message.
I wasn't criticising at all. Using music to influence how we feel is a good thing. Manipulation in this instance is not a negative thing. I do understand that the word does make people react in a certain way. I'm a huge Ren fan.
I’ve been enjoying catching a couple more of your videos today. Love your focus on the flow state in this gem. Your commentary is so unique compared to other reaction channels. And it is cool to watch how you sometimes seem to get into a flow state as you enjoy the songs! 😊 I listened to a song on your album and plan to check out the rest! Love it! 💔❤️🩹❤️
Agreed. His song-writing and production are amazing. I love your breakdown, especially your interpretative dance! 😊This whole album, Demos Volume 2, just blows me away! Ren had experienced years of excruciating pain and fatigue… with no answers. You can here his despair in his haunting vocals. Even when he finally got the diagnosis of Lyme, years later he is still battling the ravages of the disease. I wondered if you have heard his sing, “Pocket Full of Pain” - There is no video, but it is an incredible song, worthy of more attention. 💔❤️🩹❤️
Hola. New sub here. Thank you for showcasing Ren’s lesser known songs. This one is a favorite of mine. I enjoyed your knowledgeable commentary. You are on the right track I believe, about the humor. Ren seems very meticulous in producing his songs and doesn’t shy away from inserting his dark and wicked sense of humor in even his heaviest material. I love how you explained all the brilliant layers of this song. He sounds tortured at times and the music and his layered voice really convey what it must feel like on the drug. I’ll be sure to check out your other videos. 💔❤️🩹❤️
Watch him do Georgia On My Mind, amazing 😁
I've watched all his stuff but not sure if it's copyrighted on YT...so I'm being careful:)
I have seen a him playing in each of these original performances but to see them all compiled like this is magical and so impressive. Romain is such a unique and talented individual 😊
Its called Art not manipulation.
Great input! I knew I liked it, but you helped me understand why its good. 👍 Subscribed. Much love ❤️ Sue
Probably his best song........ it really is under rated.....it could be 40 years old or it could be 40 years in the future ?...the subject matter is just as incredible as the music that goes with it......everything matches, a real song for druggies everywhere
He's so talented. And i love his personality and dancing, etc. So fun!
Thank you so much for this.💕👍🦇
Given this song is a bit of a favourite, I had another listen to your reaction, just to catch things I might have missed. This is a great illustration of REN’s mixing abilities, and it shows in the way he treats each line, fading the music, or bringing it forward, providing lots of variety to sustain interest. He really impresses me with this one! Thanks for pointing out these things, as well, and for beginning with the cuts from his Zach Sang interview.
I love Romain, he is a gem. But what I love the most is when he and Ren feed off of each other. The pure joy in both their faces. That's a true bromance
Romain is a stellar guitarist. I love his solo work, especially “ Time after Time”. Beautiful! Thanks for highlighting him here.
Have you heard the song with him and ren called the French song - i dont speak french but i love the song
He's fun to watch and fun to listen to
His song Time After Time live at St Augustines is exceptional. I hope to see you discuss it sometime.
Yep! Just need to find out how copyright works with all the folk in Ren's circle...:)
Yes! I'm also a massive fan of our Frenchman from Brighton! Thanks for supporting him.
Yes, Ren is manipulating us, just like every other artist has throughout time. Most just stick to happy and sad, but Ren manipulates us through, as you say, a whole rollercoaster of emotions. Saddness, happiness, anger, anxiety, confusion, contempt... there are 27 of them, and Ren seems intent on making us regularly feel them all. Genius level artist and storyteller.
I think manipulation sounds a little harsh, at least to me. Manipulation is strictly negative-it means control, domination, exploitation, coercion, deception and trickery. Thank you Wikipedia!! He holds our complete attention, as he can do both-fascinate and mesmerize us. That is what makes him a lyrical genius.
Sorry, I'm Scottish, and sometimes I forget to spell out my sarcasm. ;-)
Not sure I agree that Ren is manipulating us "on purpose", he's instinctively creating great sounds that express his feelings to great effect. If you listen to his interviews where he talks about music creation, he places greater importance on expressing his emotions than on artistic perfection. I've no doubt he's manipulating production to express his feelings and he's been creating music since he was 10 years old so he knows his stuff. If he's a technical expert at reflecting his feelings it follows that we are going to be affected emotionally, subject to each listener's vulnerabilities; we'll all be affected in different ways according to our experiences.
Great job. Looking forward to more of your reactions.
Thanks!. Checkout the other 17 :)
