    Ren said on his Twitch stream back in December that one of his dreams is to have his own Netflix series of stories. I wish some producer would back idea. Ren loves to bring his songs and stories 'full circle'. There are many songs, including these three where he will say a word or phrase at both the beginning and end of a song or melody. He does it in all three of these and even brings the whole story full circle with the relationships.

      Have you ever seen the live stream with ren and the younger girl freestyling just them two on guitar and singing and beat boxing and etc.. I can't remember her name but its so raw and honestly pure and its gotta be my most favorite live performance possibly ever.... its just so on the fly, un planned and the way they just flow with it is unreal man... I just can't remember her name.. she is much younger but watching them just freestyle these jams on the fly was absolutely incredible... prob some of the harder to find stuff thats been posted but soooooo worth hunting it down.. the young girl isn't exactly hendrix but she is doing her own thing her own way and that girl is promised to sooner or later to break thru like the big push has. She is just so unique and her time is coming to chang the game again... they have this awesome small network of friends and every one of them are so beyond amazing... If you know her name you should mention her, if not keep digging cut you really should see them jam.. it's insane,

    The first time I saw the trilogy, it was driving me nuts because it reminded me of a specific style of music and I couldn't put my finger on it for the longest time. Then I was listening to the guitar at the beginning of Screech's tale and realized it reminds me of a Mexican corrido from an old
    Western. From the epic sad and violent story, the lone guitar and even his walking through the entirety of the songs. I wonder if Ren likes corridos or if that's just a coincidence. Either way, it's absolutely enthralling.

    I loved what you said about how Ren and his one takes just makes you think "practice, practice, practice". You hit the nail on the head. When you see a dude like Ren doing what he does and compare it to autotune artists or someone who only has great studio music, you realize there are so many levels to this game. He's so inspiring.
    It's like that meme. "How did you get so good at drawing?!"... "practice"... "how could I ever get that good?!"... "practice"... "it must be a gift from god!"... "it's just practice".

    In lesser hands this attempt would be a mess, but his acting, narration, singing, storytelling and videography is such that it hangs together quite beautifully.
    The scene from where he stands from the bed to where Violet is beaten (and you hear seagulls in the background) is, possibly my favourite piece of anything, anywhere. It's magnificent.
    I'd love to see this on the stage as part of a series of songs as plays. So original and refreshing.

    This has resonance on so many levels. I am gobsmacked by his music, voice, writing, acting, instrumentality, acting-all of it true. But for me as wonderful as all those things are, it's the HONESTY and WISDOM that he brings to it that so far outshines all of the other talents, but also out paces other artists. Anyone who has studied psychology and especially the trauma of incest and violence, is the realization often that it also is often a generational thing, often passed down through families, sometimes for centuries. All of his trauma has met the perfect storm with his creativity, and he's fearless enough to speak it, sing it and embody it. That is more than something.

      Man when I found this channel I wasn't exactly out to learn and have been in pro audio well over 20 yrs now.. but the past 8 months I've done a ton of his courses and he gave me a chance as an adult to reproach everything in a new found frame of mind that has been the best thing to happen to me in all those yrs...
      Mr Chris the virus took everything. Then I began to learn I now have a bad heart. Thinking I had to now let go, I've been able to relearn to sing with my heart condition. I don't have anything left to even wake up for. No work, no income, literally alone with now not knowing if ill be here from one day to the next and under the circumstances of not even able to afford further treatment and I just wanna say thanks for all you invest into this. The past 8 months its genuinely all I've had to keep fighting for.. I know I rarely comment but if I could hug you and just say thank you and you never know how what you do will effect someone else or to what depths.. ill wake up if I'm lucky tomorrow and with not a damn thing else left to do so for, I'll spend my day in my studio with all the amazing things you've provided and in the end I'll atleast have spent my last days doing what I loved most in life.. for that no hug or thank you can ever do justice but I hope you read this... life is short and I've been so fortunate to have had everything I've lost and am no selfish man... if my last days here are never more than me spending them doing what I loved most in life.... I have you literally to thank for that.. with the compression on the heart from singing, I had accepted i had to let it all go.. but I used your courses and content and you for whatever its possibly worth, gave me the most incredible chance to not have to let go.... not yet anyway...

    Thankyou, fantastic reaction, I love how to get Ren. And yes the vocal at the start of violets tale is so hauntingly beautiful, another reason to watch his face is because it's also telling the story, during the vocals looking around ,scared and questioning, not knowing where she is and how she got there, then when he sits up, narrating about the rhythmic beats and blood stained sheets looking at the bed at though he sees it there. He is a genius, totally in every aspect! 💗 He uses every part of his body, his voice, his guitar and his surrounding to pull everyone into the story.

    It is a really heavy song with an ending that brings to light the meaning of the song and makes you re-think the lyrics throughout.

    One of the crazier parts about Violet's tale is that he had to move through the various spaces in time with the song to achieve the acoustics he wanted for each part. Tossing that in during a live recording along with all the other things he's doing with his voice, his guitar playing, and his acting ability is insane.

    The face observation reminds me of Joe Cocker. He didn't do his wild facial stuff on purpose or as an act, he did it because that's what the song wanted. He wasn't acting, he was led by the music, became the music. Like that, Ren's performances seem so effortless because they feel instinctual and raw. I know, as a sometimes director and often observer of directors, that that "natural" "pure" effect is created on purpose, but the genius is the audience doesn't see the plan. We see the fantastic execution and it seems like magic. Ren's a wizard as much as a musician. Great reaction, Chris. Thanks.

    For something a bit lighter then have a look at the live recording of "The Big Push - Bongo Bong (Manu Chao cover)". I tend to listen to this after the deeper, heavier stuff as his smile at the start when counting lifts me back up... and they are all clearly enjoying themselves.

    Wow. I’ve never learned as much about singing as I did during your analysis. No other reactor pointed out the techniques Ren uses as clearly as you did.
    I’m 55, and can play the guitar, but could never sing. I definitely subscribed, and will likely try your course. Maybe I have hope. 😊

    In three quarters of a century, you'd think I might have progressed past Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and a Tonette. Actually, I probably regressed. But you've opened a door to some kind of treasure room of vocal appreciation, at least... partly through your expertise and partly through your enthusiasm. Thanks, Chris.

    You have to check out Ren performing in his band The Big Push - there's a great cover of I shot the Sheriff/road to Zion/ hip hop that shows a whole other side of Ren's vocals

    I found a 10 min video that was full of clips acting as screech; how he treated his gf, how he was a jerk to Patrick, there were hints of abuse at home, & screech planning a home invasion to get the $$ to run away. It essentially gives the entire backstory of the character leading up to his meeting w Jenny. The fact that a video like that exists shows how much thought & care Ren puts into the characters. I see Screech’s tale in a diff light now. Ren truly transcends the medium of music in his storytelling- pieces like these are works of art ❤

    Have been waiting for this one. Thought you might appreciate this song, have not seen any other reactor do it. Gives me almost Elvis vibes but with a bit of a modern spin. Simply beautiful while highlighting Ren's voice. The Big Push "Oh My Woman". ua-cam.com/video/bVvA7VOU0MI/v-deo.html

    Your "Snow" section starting at 13:56 really reminded me of Fiddler on the Roof's 'If I Were a Rich Man', the way the singer really plays around like you describe (sorry, I'm neither a singer nor musician, so I can't verbally describe what you were doing).

    It was cool to see on the flip of a switch ren got you hooked and your analysis brain turned off and you just sat there enthralled for the rest of it - right when he knocks on the door in violets tale. Something about that tale is so captivating that we just can't help but get sucked in

    Please listen to Ren's "Bongo Bong" and "English Man In New York", both cover songs, with this band mates The Big Push. His singing voice is mesmerizing and just divine to my ears for those two songs. Of course he was a little younger in those videos. But so much fun and upbeat. You will have a great time analysis those I'm sure. I think he is a baritone but with an amazing range.

    • @TheDougMan
      @TheDougMan Рік тому +1

      I so agree with you about those two songs. It’s also nice to see Ren happy. I’d also suggest the non-big push version of It’s Alright videoed in Brighton.
