- This song was one of the most interesting Ren and Friends song I’ve broken down. The song form is fascinating, as well as the vocals!

If you like them goofing around you should watch the car park attendant version. It's different enough to do another reaction believe me and it really shows how Ren just keeps on going through difficulty after difficulty just like his life. 😊
Seconding. Aside from it's being a very different take on the song (particularly due to the circumstances), but it's just funny as hell and so very Ren and Sam.
YES!!!
I was going to say the same thing. I think that you might like the live version they performed together while busking. It's of my favorite versions. This song is my 2 year old grandson's song. He will walk around singing the "Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes" part that Sam does. Then he'll start baby talking Ren's part. This song grabbed Xavier's ear and attention. Music is such a great uniter of people. Any song that can captivate a 2 year old who is learning how to communicate with the world around him is a masterpiece.
This. I concur.
I concur.
You're a WONDERFUL addition to the Ren and Friends Reactor Family!
Much love ❤️ Sue
Thank you so much!
I concur.
Ren: crushes falsetto
Sam: hold my beer
The official genre label for that piece is progressive rappunkreggaejazz, otherwise known as prazz. There are only two artists who have dared to play and master it--and they happened to be featured in this video! 🤠
Hahaha!! Brilliant
Now to watch the original busking version sharing one mic, the angry parking attendant version and the music video. All are amazing in their own ways.
All versions have a different energy.
Ren has said in interviews that he has attention deficit disorder. He said that music has been the only thing that is able to keep his attention for any period of time. It shows in his musical composition.
❤❤❤
Edit: May I recommend you listen on your own to the actual music video of Blind Eyed. It’s completely different than the version you reacted to. It’s incredible how they took the song and broke it down to its bare bones in the MC sessions. There are a few other versions, a busking one and a very popular one with reactors is the one that features The Angry Park attendant. That may be one you may decide to do just to spoil us Renegades😂 sometime in the future. Thank you sir. Another great reaction.
Wow, I may need to do multiple reactions to this one!
@@TimWelchVocalStudioThe official version is good and feels a bit more like a song *but* anything in this version that isn't a word isn't them singing in that version... including most of Sam's riffing and runs. They actually do something different in every version they have uploaded, Ren rapping to more of a melody, Sam and Ren trading parts for the chorus, stuff like that. Ren said he just randomly played a completely different intro in the busking video... I didn't even notice. The angry car park attendant version is an acoustic guitar. Every single version has its own charm, this is just the clearest minimalist version.
I don't want to ruin it but in the Angry Car Park version Ren does something pretty impressive with the guitar, but you don't really see it fully until the end
@@TimWelchVocalStudio it's 100% worth it. 👍

It is the only song in its own genre.
"What was that song form?...... " It's the genre of music called "Ren and friends" Seems like there really isn't anything they can't do. You have to see the car park attendant version. Shows the talent of them both, not knocked out of their stride at all. Oh and thanks, another great reaction Tim. 👋👋
So glad you did this version
I think Ren made a decision early in his music making career that he wanted to go outside the box. The way he pays attention to not only the lyrics but the texture and mood of a piece keeps his audience engaged and guessing what’s next. It’s always a surprise and always awesome. I love that you will often get singing, rapping and spoken word all in the same piece. I sure hope Sam and Ren can collaborate again in the future. Thanks Tim for another great reaction and analysis.
I thought I read recently (Chinese Whispers) that they have already made a song but Sam is signed now and they won’t allow the release as it’s not the genre they are looking for him. That would be an absolute shame.
😢
I've been waiting for you to do this reaction, partially so I could say "I TOLD YA'!" but mostly just to see you dive into this one the way you did. Ren did this the same way as How to be Me, where they replace most of the instruments with their voices, and seriously, this sounds nothing like the studio version. I think Ren and Sam made it a hundred times better. Oh, and of course they have a version of this featuring the angry car park attendant, which is amazing in its own right. Lastly, if you find the busking version of this song, keep in mind that was the first time they had performed this song live, which makes how it came out just mind blowing. Keep it up! We're loving you and your reactions.
✨🙏🏼
So excited…My absolute favorite version💫
As always, great reaction! Hoping you will react to Ren's Spontaneous Stream Jam!💙💙💙
One of my favorites. His voice in a totally raw state. You really get too see his creativity and his vocals
Beyond Unique! What a brilliant pair. My favourite Ren track is the one he does with Molly McKinna " Penitence " . Another great reaction, thanks.
Commenting to feed the beast called algorithm 😊 much love ✌️
Commenting to feed the beast called algorithm, as well.😀😀
Same, lol 😀
Yep
This was the first Ren (& Sam) song that I heard. It was recommended by my daughter - it is my favourite version of the song. Looking forward to hearing the analysis.
This is a great version, and worth comparing to both the caepark and the MC Crowns version and the bussking version. Each one has a little something special!
💯Agreed it's fun to watch them all and see what each has to offer. These two are brilliant together 👍
According to the thumbnail, this is the MC Crowns live version.
Would happily watch you react to all of them, lol. There's also a video, and the song's quite different.
Personally, I think this version and the studio version are the best. They also have the most dramatically different sound. I think he’d be really interested in hearing the studio version which does sound slightly more like a standard song.
I’m glad you finally made it here. This is the song Ren tributes to giving himself a career and music someone with witness this and posted it on Facebook on a Mexican restaurant page and it went viral.
My favorite thing about Ren (and Friends) beyond what they bring to the table is the creativity they spark in so many others. I can’t tell you how many creative people on YT take what they’ve learned & immediately go home to expand their own poetry l/music/art. 😀💜🎶
Also, just for fun (maybe even on your own time) you might want to check out this same song where a buddy of Ren & Sam got a feature (Angry Car Park Attendant ). It’s epic! 🚗
So pleased you did this version thank you Tim! I hope you get a chance to do the angry car park version too! It’s worth it I promise. 😉🥰
You always do such a good breakdown, it’s really interesting.
Ren and Sam are quite a force together aren’t they?! 🥰
This was so much fun! I love the energy and all the knowledge you bring❤ Seeing you so excited is just the cherry on top🧁🍒😄
You may have already read about how Ren and Sam first met when Sam was 16 and Ren was 23. If you'd like to see their very first performance together, there is a video called “Reacting to My Old Singing Videos from 10 Years Ago” on Sam’s channel which was posted about 4 years ago. The last segment is about that special encounter.
For More vocal acrobatics check out Swan Song by The Big Push! Sam is not involved but you get some amazing vocals from all the guys in the band!
I keep requesting this one, I'm sure he'll love it. Not many reactors would appreciate it in the same way
Oh, this is such a great analysis/commentary on this song!
Genre-wise for me, it feels like this is some super important "character development" moment in a piece of musical theatre that we've lost the rest of the script & libretto for.
(except meta-wise, we know it's autobiographical lyrics from the mind of Ren with Sam working alongside him in its creation)
In other words: the genre is Ren, lol.
How they figured out how to piece it together it in a way that leaves it feeling cohesive-enough to pull the listener along for the ride, I have no idea. It should be a bloody random chaotic mismatched mess of a song, and yet it's utterly compelling.
And I totally agree - Ren can play his guitar like it's a part of his own human voice. It's like he wanted to sing something but forgot to open his mouth because the strings of his guitar were expressing his thoughts so beautifully he didn't realize he wasn't using his voice.
I think you would really enjoy Seven Sins because it's so unconventional. It's a lyric video but it comes in handy to follow Ren's lyrics. One of my all time Ren favourites and one of Ren's own faves too. There's also a BTS on how he made it in Rens @renmakesstuff channel.❤
I 100% AGREE‼️
Another amazing song of Sam’s is Time Will Fly. It shows his musical journey and meeting Ren.
This is one of my faaaaavorites. You should check out the produced version of this, even if only on your own time, and you'll see how all those ooooos and aaaahs are them just substituting the production. 😮 So awesome.
Honestly, Just check out ALL the versions.😂
You analyze music so differently than any of the other reactors I watch that are professional voice teachers and I love it!! I'm so glad I found your channel and love that you're a fellow renegade. Looking forward to more amazing analyses!!!
Thank you!
Ren has said that there are no rules in creating art........ Great video as always, Thanks Tim
I remember him saying on twitch, "If you don't know the rules, then they don't apply to you." haha.
Hey Tim, loving your stuff! It would be amazing if you could check out Blind eyed featuring angry carpark attendant. I absolutely love that version and also seems to perfectly imitate his life- where everything goes wrong but still produces a masterpiece ❤️
This is my favourite version, and I learnt a new word: flageolet! Thanks to the live chat I won't forget it, either. 😂
Great having you there!
Ren just speaks music - with and without actual words. Might not make a lot of sense as a vocal analyst, but he has a fully instrumental piano piece called Mackay and it’s stunning.
Also still eagerly waiting for you to get to Crutch feat. Bibi and Ren busking some Nirvana. Totally different sides of his vocal abilities that you haven’t really heard yet. Cause it’s Ren so of course there’s so much more to discover 😂
Love this performance, another great reaction and analysis!!
Definitely think you need to watch Sam's song "Hero" (his own song) live from Hammersmith...so much emotion and an amazing example of a singer rising to meet a huge challenge. It reminds me of Demi Lovato's Grammy performance of "Anyone" from a pure rawness perspective.
I’m not a musician and I’m not a singer, but I do love music, and man, I love your breakdowns Tim. REN has introduced me to some super people involved in music. Love from the UK
🫶🔥
This is my absolute favourite rendition of this song 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love how this song is all over the place! I'm so glad you did this one. I love "speaking guitar." Thanks for that! Ren and Sam are SO good together.
I agree! Love them together.
I've been waiting for this one. One of my favorites and I usually repeat it 2 or 3 times when it comes up on my playlist. Wonderful reaction, I enjoy your analysis and your energy immensely ❤🎶
💛🙏🏼
I agree that, just for fun, you should check out the Angry Car Park Attendant version. Great reaction and breakdown, Tim.
Yes it’s a must 👍🏽🐷✌🏼
I think if you watch closely, and after you hear the angry car park attendant version, Sam was doing that in my opinion.
I know that playing viola in orchestra and singing in church choir keeps me sane. Ren is an amazing musician. This is one of my favorite Ren performances. Thanks for reacting to it. Ren has videos where collaborates with Liv Sangster that i think you would enjoy.
Really enjoyed that reaction! Love to learn more each time! Thanks Tim 🔥🎶🎤🎸
I love your analysis. ❤ As a vocalist who loves the texture in Ren's vocals, I would love to hear you react to a song that he's singing on. Not Sam or Chinchilla analysis as you react to them separately. There are many to choose from. "Oh My Woman" is one. 💜 However, it's your channel, I respect whatever you do.
This is great guidance. I would love to do that! ✨🙏🏼 I could literally break down textures and tone quality all day long! That is actually what I do all day long lol
Diazepam is one of my fave Singing Ren songs.
Oh My Woman is 🔥🔥
@@TimWelchVocalStudioOh My woman is a song by The Big Push, the band Ren was in. :) fantastic tune
First and foremost Tim, what a lovely and kind intro❣️
Like I said earlier, this is one of my absolute favorites full of surprises! These two precious boys breathe fresh life into me!
I can’t thank you enough for my first smile of the day…this was both special and needed💝💫
So glad to see you finally get to this song. It's one of my favorites of the Ren and Friends category. I get goose bumps every time I watch this video.
Tim, gained a new appreciation for this song because of you. Thank you 💜😊💜
There are 4 versions of this song online worth watching. 1. Street Busking version2. Angry Parking Attendant version 3. cinematic video version and 4. the MC sesision version you just reacted to.
The 'Angry parking guy' version is crazy. They play and sing while walking after being kicked out of the car park. REN breaks a string and keeps playing with a big smile... it's a unique performance!
That electronic stuff sounded good!
Cheers thanks!
Not many react to this or it doesn’t come up much in comment sections, but it’s genuinely one of my favourites.
Thanks Tim. Great analysis and comments. Some of the Big Push offerings are a showcase for Ren & TBP vocals and harmonies. Ren does a fantastic vocal on TBP originals, 'Precious' & It's Alright. Bongo Bong & English Man in New York covers are amazing. Much love from Wales UK.❣
This was a lot of fun and super interesting as always!
✨🙏🏼
The busking version of this song kinda pushed them into the UA-cam zeitgeist. I saw Sam do an interview with Ren . In it they discuss the unexpected response, and how glad they were to have each other to share it with .❤ Tim thank you so much for this joyful review. I missed the premiere, but I was excited to watch this when I got home from work . BRILLIANT !
💛🙏🏼
Awesome reaction again man. The authenticity and enthusiasm you share for the art is very appreciated.
Ren and Sam are just so original. Love it .
🍻🙂🇨🇦🔥
🔥✨🙏🏼
This is one of my favourite songs he's done the speed of the rap the diversity of both their vocal range and styles. I came across it a while ago and I just think it showed how amazing these two are together and how fantastic a musician Ren is and what a great duo Sam and him make. It's no wonder they were busking legends.
This reaction is epic!!! I love learning more about music, and the way you approach it makes it easy to understand. Thank you Tim! I'm a goofball as well, btw... GOOFBALLS UNITE, LOL!
Yes! Thanks. 🙃🙏🏼
I’m mostly doing this comment for the algorithm…but…I really like your reaction. I found Ren in the beginning of last year. I’ve absolutely loves him since then.
I have this idea that there is such a thing as absolute quality. Not everything is subjektive.
And Ren is objective quality.
Thanks! 🙏🏼
Would have loved to watch this writing process, since the wrote it together. The buskinf version of this, filned by Samuel Perry-Falvey and a cell pgone video of Ren doung Teoyble So Hard pisted online in summer of 2018 is what propelled them forward. They had people flying in from all over the world ti hear them busk .❤
As soon as i saw you were reacting to this, i KNEW youd love it 😂 the arrangement of this song has rens signature ADHD flair on it 😘💜💜
Haha yes! ADHD flair! Love it.
It makes me so happy to hear reactions like this! Your deep appreciation of Ren and Sam is refreshing and your musical experience adds so much to the reaction! I love this collaboration and i thank you for your enthusiastic reactions ❤
You are fucking dialed Tim. Your energy, recognition of musical/vocal mastery and willingness to share your time and knowledge with strangers on the internet is beautiful. AND THAT CLIP OF YOU WAS SICK!!
We are lucky to have you.
Appreciate that. 👊🏼🔥
Tim tysm for reacting to this track. I have sent it to anyone who identifies and can give their expert opinion. I'm definitely a Ren lover, but I stumbled across this a while ago and am in absolute AWE of Sam's voice... seriously the voice of an angel. This is probably my favorite track. I could listen to it over and over. Thanks so much for your opinion... I friggin love Sam and Ren so much. Also thank you for encouraging us to put our pain into art... it's pretty scary but it needs to be done eventually or nothing will change. Thanks again xx
I love how you express whats best about music and what makes us renegades gravitate to ren and similar art. ❤❤❤
NICE CANS! ties your whole setup together! i knew you had some good ones, no one with a mic like that doesn't have some good cans laying around! ;-)
lol thanks! 😊
I love the story of how these guys met and look how far they've both come.
I am so excited!!!!!!! I missed the premier as I was up in the mountains and I am back to Cell signal and clicked as fast as I could!!!!❤❤❤
💛🙏🏼
Cannot wait to hear what you make of it 😉 you should also take a look at the version where they are in multi storey carpark so different to this
It’s fun
I'll check it out!
Ive been waiting for your reaction to Blind Eyed... what a great showcase of talent from Sam & Ren... Great stuff!
Easily my favorite reactor !! That “ wtf was that “ moment is everyone when they hear this. There is a video of them the first time they met I believe on Instagram
lol thanks so much. 🙏🏼✨
Wasn’t that freakin’ awesome?!?!?!? One of my favorites
Thanks for reacting to this. I loved seeing how much it excited your soul. ❤
THANK YOU! This is my favorite song of Rens and this is the best version. I’ve never heard anyone make such a deal of it as I felt it was. It’s so unlike anything else I’ve heard.
That put a smile on my face watching you going through the different parts of the song on your first listern, as I knew full well what was coming. I expect I looked the same my first listern. I'm enjoying learning the technical stuff behind it. Great and informative reaction, yet again!
Thanks cheers!
Yay you did my FAVORITE version 👏🏽 I love your reactions. They are absolutely too 3 for me! I’ve learned so much
I've watched this during the premier but I was busy then and couldn't concentrate on it as much as I'd like to. So now I'm watching this again. 😍
I love your versatility and professionalism in music as well as your enthusiasm and excitement with which you explore and breakdown music that's new to you. Thanks, Tim! It's a pure pleasure to watch your reactions. Also there's a lot of informative and educational stuff. Thanks for doing this. My life is quite much better with you in it. I appreciate you. 🧡
Appreciate this! Thanks so much for being here with me! 💛✨🙏🏼xoxoxoxo
Glad you finally got there, and thaks for conforming this is a unique style
This song! This song!!! Is everything. 😊 I’ve never in my life heard a more interesting structure of a song! The writing is stellar! The performance even more so ❤❤❤ thanks Tim for picking up all the great details of this song, I could listen to another thirty minutes of breaking down this masterpiece 🎉
This track doesn't get nearly enough attention from reactors. Thank you for covering it.
That’s crazy, it’s amazing!
My favourite version of Blind-eyed, simply them displaying their ridiculous talents, heart-breakingly beautiful aaargh ❤
The angry car park attendant version of this song is great! The fact that it sounds so good while walking around the parking garage is incredible! Such a fun video! Great reactions by the way! Much love!
Love it! This live version is my favorite, but the studio produced version with the music video is absolutely worth reacting to as well.
Really enjoying your reactions, love REN and Sam, both soooo talented!
This is a stunning performance. Just incredible. Awesome reaction too!!
Yay!!!! Hello dear Renegade family!!!!😀🫶🥰💖💜🎵🎶🔮🫂🫂🫂☮️☮️☮️🌈
Brilliant reaction & break down. All versions are amazing 👏👏👏❤️
I knew you’d love this one ✌️❤️
Since finding Ren about 2 years ago I have noticed that I almost exclusively listen to independent artists now...❤❤❤ Ren and friends all the way..❤❤
@Tim maybe you know the story but Ren found Sam busking when he was a lot younger and really took to him and wanted to help him with his sound setup since he is such a talent. There are fairly old videos of them busking together. I may be wrong but "They break and I'm driving my universe into a lake" makes me think of the friend Ren lost.
This track and this version of this track is perfection! I've been waiting for you to do this one :) Definitely have to watch the version ft angry car park attendant for a laugh.
Thank-you for sharing your expertise with the Renegades.. seeing your performance piece was amazing (so Fred again) - loved it! Will be waiting for the next one.
💛✨🙏🏼
My favorite version by far! Love your reactions!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Your reactions give me so much inspiration and joy! You really convey creativity and zest for life!🙌 As Ren and Sam also do. 💯🔥 Thank you!🙏❤️🔥❤️
Thank you so much!!
So many versions of this, and I love them all. 💞🐷
Much love to you Tim 🫶🏽
I’m loving your Ren’s journey
Right back atcha! 🫶✨🙏🏼
hereeeeeee we goooo!!! so excited to see your reaction on them both again!
"Latch" is another fun one they do together busking that's less covered.
" That" was Magic!!!!!😀🙏🥰🫶🎵🎶🔮💖🌹💜✨️
That was soo fun to watch you loving this. I love when you said "For GOD's SAKE!" :D This is a special song and so different.
Wonderful reaction. Another song that has open form that you might enjoy is Tadow by FKJ ft. Masego. Loop station, lots of riffing, super chill
Love those boys! Great reaction Tim. ❤
Hello Tim, I hope you are well. Looking forward to this.
The ohhh ohh ohh ohhhh i i's get stuck in ya brain and sneak out of your mouth at the most random times i've found haha. Such a great song. I love these 2 together. Thank you for the reaction.
