Your reaction to Ren on the melodica... right there with you. Plus playing it holding it in his hand... which is exponentially harder - because he's Ren so of course he can.
'Oh Ren you silly billy!' 🤣 Love this song so much. I agree that it's so underrated. Thanks for taking a stab at the lyrics. I've listened a million times and just get so distracted by the harmonies each time that I forget to listen to the lyrics.
Bro this is my favorite big push song. This is the greatest breakdown of this song I've seen. Not too many have reacted to it yet. I need to watch more of your reactions. Thank you brother
Offensively underrated is spot on. Glossed over by many but it is one of their finest songs imo and really showcases not just their talent but their willingness to experiment and confidence in their craft. This song is one that sets them apart from nearly every other band out there imo - it's breathtakingly beautiful.
Love this song and agree, it's so under-viewed! 7:08 I just need a lady on an organ in the background, she has to be over 75 y/o and know this song well. 7:49 Ren says, Zach, I got you... will a melodica do? lol Great reaction!
Love this mate! I'm so honoured the way you honed in on the lyrics, that really means a lot to me (: & your reaction to Ren on melodica was brilliant hahah - thank you for all your kind words and sweet feedback ❤
You're right, it's a melodica. I've only seen it played in some contemporary Russian music. This is one of my favorite The Big Push songs. I've always wished we could have the lyrics because there are parts of it I don't understand. I'd also like to know who primarily wrote it. My bet would be Goron, with Ren arranging the harmonies. I agree with you, it's offensively underrated.
@@Snarky_Tart I do think they are there and not a fan version.If you go to TBP and look at the vid... sort comments by "top.". It should be the 13th actual comment excluding replies. It starts out "hey guys...). Hope this helps.
Of course he f♡cking can... 😂 It's such a beautiful piece with incredible harmonies. They are all amazing. Plus, Gorrans vocals are so good on this. You can really hear him.
For Ren being Ren and playing new instruments, somewhere there's a collection of instagram shorts that's really eye opening, including Ren rapping over thumb piano!
😂😂REN is the 75 year old woman you asked for.. 😅He truly is a shape shifter 😉 love your reaction very in depth unlike most reactors to this song that I've seen so far ❤👍👌
Romain's baritone comes in strongly during the harmonies, really wonderful. Btw, you had me laughing out loud at your reaction to Ren playing the melodica, couldn't stop smiling, just like you did. I love watching you really enjoying the music.
What do you see with the eyes in your head? Pitiful struggle, or are you content? Fear and anger so garishly clothed, resignation and ignorance tied up in bows A king to a pauper, a sad wizened clown A joke an' a punchline, people all 'round Rose-tinted glasses and no-one is sane A big waltzing blindfold, we are what we play We are what we play, and nothing is sane What can he hear with his ears in his hands? Her silently weeping, his head in the sand Patiently lurking in water in wine, he'll drown by her tears, or choke on his time For what we've forsaken and taken too soon Before murdering old mother, we'd dance on the moon Deaf to the thunder that silently cracks, we're holding our breath until her collapse What do you feel with your heart in your chest? Some few thousand years, could soon come to rest Do you feel the butcher? The bullet that bores With corkscrewing chaos and mighty a roar What do you feel with your heart in your chest? Some few thousand years could soon come to rest On the shoulders of man and his bag full of bombs Bell tolling destruction our final swan song
Yeah. It’s a farewell to Mother Earth. I hope my descendants dance on another planet but not being from a billionaire’s family, I doubt it. Scary but beautiful folk song written by Gorran, I believe. Lady on an organ? Ren would be suitable - of fucking course he would 🤣😂 Great reaction. Thanks ❤
I feel you interpreted it exactly as I see it. It also feels a lot like a Peter Paul and Mary folk song. I really love it and the message is clear. Nice reaction!
Band in a box challenge was a thing years ago, Mitch and Scott from pentatonix on their channel Superfruit they played the melodic first time I had seen that instrument, fun to watch they had to make a song. Maybe Ren should have one. Fun. Since you are on a Pentatonix streak, Superfruit is a fun time.
My nephew is like Ren with instruments & my brother’s hobby is finding new instruments for him to learn. They’ve got quite the collection, especially of odd stringed instruments of various origins. I always think of him every time I see this video. 🙂💜
When I first heard this, it came to me as a cross between a medieval piece that Ed Sheeran would do in The Game of Thrones, and a something from Crosby, Stills and Nash mixed with an instrumental from The Godfather when Ren played the melodica. The thing is.. it works! Even if they were performing this in a church, I could just imagine them doing this in a castle. You just can't put these guys in a box. They do not discriminate! What bothered me though is in the description, it said Swan Song (Cover).. Can anyone tell me what artist they covered? Or is it a live cover of their original? Or is it a cover of some bard/minstrel in circa 1400's? I appreciate your reaction on this Zack. I don't care how many times you pause..
Superb reaction, the doomsday head in the sand messaging keenly spotted. Loved the "course he f*cking can!" observation when Ren plays that blowy keyboard thingy. As you say, offensively underrated song.
I really enjoyed watching you fall in love with this song. Sadly this type of music is like B&W TV. Beyond many people’s understanding and tolerance.💕👍🦇
Don’t know if I’ve mentioned, but I’m really glad you’re doing Rens discography. Pretty sure I’ve seen em all. Can we just sit back and marvel at the fact that we still have not heard a bad song from Ren or The Big Push. There’s maybe 1 or 2 that weren’t my taste, but still sonically good.
There is a live concert video from a big Ren fan shot on a phone that is quality, Ren tales from London or something along those lines, well worth a few watches 🙏🐊❤️🦉👍
Great song :) Thanks for doing this one- somehow I'd missed this one too. On ren playing that -whatever its called- it is basically a keyboard- and weve seen him play those before :) tho ofcourse you can do intonation with how hard you blow so there is some differences.
Truly amazing harmonies 💞 What genre cannot not sing And what musical instrument can Ren not tackle 🤣 Rubik's Cube music no matter how much you spin it comes out perfect 👌
Ren is amazing with instruments. I wonder if he could figure out and play one of the Mongolian instruments, like what The HU play? That would be a hoot!
Zack. This reminds me of the harmonies of the Smothers Brothers.( probanly before your time. Hey, I'm old😂) they had a TV show in 50s or 70s I grew up watching on tv. Sooooondamn good. Didn't Gorran write this one??
"Underrated" by whom? Everyone I know who has heard it loves it. Every reactor seems to love it. Ren himself loves it (he posted as much the other day). Who is underrating it exactly?
I've only heard a few reactors do this, yet "sick boy", losing it, and his popular ones have over a million views but this only has 22,000. That is the underrated part. I'm thinking if Ren isn't rapping or hip hopping a lot of the young reactors won't appreciate or like it. They mostly look to please their subs, that is just facts. So that likely keeps the numbers down. I know exactly what Zack means, you are off target with your comment.
@@kellyt5341 But that is not what underrated means. You mean it doesn't have as many views. Correct, it doesn't. That is not the same thing as being underrated.

Thanks once again for your continued support for Ren, Gorran, Romain and Glenn. .
'This song is offensively underrated.'
Truth. ❤
When I discovered this, it became one of my favourite Big Push Songs it's magical.
I believe this was their 1st video that the did together
True
Your reaction to Ren on the melodica... right there with you. Plus playing it holding it in his hand... which is exponentially harder - because he's Ren so of course he can.
“Of fucking course he can” 😂😂
Send him that obscure instrument, you know he will figure it out!!!
'Oh Ren you silly billy!' 🤣 Love this song so much. I agree that it's so underrated. Thanks for taking a stab at the lyrics. I've listened a million times and just get so distracted by the harmonies each time that I forget to listen to the lyrics.
I was crying once again and then you offered a little comic relief when you talked about finding a new instrument for Ren😂. Great reaction!
Of fucking course he can!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best line I’ve ever heard regarding Ren!!!
This gives me such Crosby, Stills and Nash vibes and I love it!
Bro this is my favorite big push song. This is the greatest breakdown of this song I've seen. Not too many have reacted to it yet. I need to watch more of your reactions. Thank you brother
Offensively overated is exactly what this is!

I was chuckling at that too.... I was just thinking, ah Zack, just you wait and see. No organ is needed!
Such a beautiful song ❤ you made me laugh with "of course he f***ing can" 😂 that's exactly what I thought
Agree that this one is criminally underrated. Such an amazing performance ❤️
Great song..and reaction
I think you've honed your humor down to a very sharp point!
Along with All My Heroes, this is one of my two favorite Big Push songs. ❤
Me too 🇬🇧
Lol 😂of course he can🥁
Love this mate! I'm so honoured the way you honed in on the lyrics, that really means a lot to me (:
& your reaction to Ren on melodica was brilliant hahah - thank you for all your kind words and sweet feedback ❤
😂😂 let’s find that instrument!
Hugely underrated and beautiful. I just love the harmonies. This is one I show my friends. Thanks Zack!
That is your 75 yr old lady playing the organ...REN. ❣️🥸🤟🏻
First time I really listened to the lyrics instead of just hearing the melody and harmonies-love it! Of course there’s a serious message as well!
One of my favorites. It's so good. Really shows off their range.
Oh and yes, this is super underrated. I love this one!
There is one other one that you haven’t seen. I believe that these boots are made for walking in a laundromat another under viewed video.
I believe i have done that.. I'll check.
Beautiful and great reaction!! Thank you!!! Xx

Been enjoying this one since discovering it in the spring this year
Its so special🎶
What do you see with the eyes in your head?

A king to a pauper, a sad wizened clown

Lady on an organ? Ren would be suitable - of fucking course he would 🤣😂 Great reaction. Thanks ❤
I request this somg comstantly. Amd praise you cover. So good.
Love this one. Beautiful ❤
Never can get bored with this song my fav 🇬🇧
First reactor that actually breaks down the meaning of this piece of art! I agree, this song is very underrated!
I feel you interpreted it exactly as I see it. It also feels a lot like a Peter Paul and Mary folk song. I really love it and the message is clear. Nice reaction!
❤❤❤
Very much agree. Romain's new song is coming out on Monday. It is called Les Vasseaux du Coeur, and he said he would help us with the French.
Absolutely right it’s underrated. Sad but true lyrics, and the HARMONIES! So beautiful ❤️😊❤️
So it's now cannon that Ren is a 75 year old church lady.
Loved this. BTW, send him an ocarina and see what he makes of that!
Band in a box challenge was a thing years ago, Mitch and Scott from pentatonix on their channel Superfruit they played the melodic first time I had seen that instrument, fun to watch they had to make a song. Maybe Ren should have one. Fun. Since you are on a Pentatonix streak, Superfruit is a fun time.
I saw a vid of Ren playing an Mbira (an African thumb Piano).
I would love to see that- where can I find that - a link?
It was over a year ago, so sorry, I don't remember where it resides.@@Silkytoaster
Another one I'm surprised you had not done it is great.....
“Of course he fuggin can” took me out 😂 I can’t believe I have watched all your REN reactions and missed one of my faves! 🔥🖤
My nephew is like Ren with instruments & my brother’s hobby is finding new instruments for him to learn. They’ve got quite the collection, especially of odd stringed instruments of various origins. I always think of him every time I see this video. 🙂💜
The HARMONIES!! The very sad but true lyrics. This song reminds me of the best of Fairport Convention. Love it and your reaction both. ❤️😊😊🙏
When I first heard this, it came to me as a cross between a medieval piece that Ed Sheeran would do in The Game of Thrones, and a something from Crosby, Stills and Nash mixed with an instrumental from The Godfather when Ren played the melodica. The thing is.. it works!

Is there any artist more diverse than Ren? Love, love, love this. ❤
So beautiful
Thank you for reacting to this, so many of us love this song and it doesn’t get anywhere near the love it deserves. You got it ❤
I just love this song, so beautiful the harmonies and so true!
It is indeed well underrated, glad you found it, love the dialog thank you, so perfect for me cooking Sunday lunch 🙏🦉❤️🐊👍
Thank you Zack for listening to my wish… Perfect Sunday morning song, live in Sweden with different time zone and just woke up… ❤️🫶🏼❤️
Thankyou for reacting to this one which has been my favourite of the Big push, but not reacted to until now....thankyou🥰
Superb reaction, the doomsday head in the sand messaging keenly spotted. Loved the "course he f*cking can!" observation when Ren plays that blowy keyboard thingy. As you say, offensively underrated song.
Adore this song. Also you made me belly laugh 😂
I really enjoyed watching you fall in love with this song. Sadly this type of music is like B&W TV. Beyond many people’s understanding and tolerance.💕👍🦇
This song is outrageously beautiful,so hard hitting and true thanks for reaction 😊
Don’t know if I’ve mentioned, but I’m really glad you’re doing Rens discography. Pretty sure I’ve seen em all. Can we just sit back and marvel at the fact that we still have not heard a bad song from Ren or The Big Push. There’s maybe 1 or 2 that weren’t my taste, but still sonically good.

Definatly underated
Great reaction .

That was 🔥🔥🔥
Love this
Zach, I think I recall you being in AZ. You need to invite Ren to the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix! Lots of obscure instruments there. 😂
Individuality. You're all alone.
Fantastic 🔥
Yes, you should definitely try to find an obscure instrument and send it to Ren! 😜
Ren is amazing with instruments. I wonder if he could figure out and play one of the Mongolian instruments, like what The HU play? That would be a hoot!
love it. You are too funny. People who are made for music like Ren is just needs a few minutes on you tube to find out how to play something,.
"I now need a 75 year old lady on an organ"....."Sorry,best I can do for you is a 30 year old on a melodica...."
Zack. This reminds me of the harmonies of the Smothers Brothers.( probanly before your time. Hey, I'm old😂) they had a TV show in 50s or 70s I grew up watching on tv. Sooooondamn good. Didn't Gorran write this one??
dont know if youve done this Ren+Bibi track ,,,,,, Ren - Ahiahiahohah (Bonus Track)
Keep pausing brother! People watch to hear what you've gotta say. (or at least, I do!)
Exactly - I have already listened to this a dozen times and now I am interested in what Zack thinks about it .
"Underrated" by whom? Everyone I know who has heard it loves it. Every reactor seems to love it. Ren himself loves it (he posted as much the other day). Who is underrating it exactly?
The number of viewers!... or lack thereof. That's all i meant.. Pretty simple.

I’m sure this reaction is going to be good but sorry pal life is just too short to bear with it. If I’ve got insomnia later, I might be tempted.
What do you see with the eyes in your head?
Pitiful struggle, or are you content?
Fear and anger so garishly clothed, resignation and ignorance tied up in bows
A king to a pauper, a sad wizened clown
A joke an' a punchline, people all 'round
Rose-tinted glasses and no-one is sane
A big waltzing blindfold, we are what we play
We are what we play, and nothing is sane
What can he hear with his ears in his hands?
Her silently weeping, his head in the sand
Patiently lurking in water in wine, he'll drown by her tears, or choke on his time
For what we've forsaken and taken too soon
Before murdering old mother, we'd dance on the moon
Deaf to the thunder that silently cracks, we're holding our breath until her collapse
What do you feel with your heart in your chest?
Some few thousand years, could soon come to rest
Do you feel the butcher? The bullet that bores
With corkscrewing chaos and mighty a roar
What do you feel with your heart in your chest?
Some few thousand years could soon come to rest
On the shoulders of man and his bag full of bombs
Bell tolling destruction our final swan song.
❤❤❤
