you are not wrong bionic but how many of them passing by in their busy lives even know nirvana , to be fair i only found out about rem today about 5 hours ago , have listened to nothing else since , saw nirvana cover i click as i love nirvana and i see a lot of similarities both him and kurt are geniuses
More like Coldplay trying to cover Nirvana, only he has a better voice than Chris Martin sounds terrific on the screams. That said bro is super talented. Just wish he didn't do the Indie voice, and just full out embraced his own voice. Too many people conform to that.
Seamless transition into Lithium, it totally caught me off guard but in a good way! Thanks for all the music you’ve put out into the universe, it’s the most relatable that I’ve heard as of yet.
Took my daughter to city to see and donate to all our local buskers since she was 2 yrs old. She's in her 20's now and played drums since she was 10. She plays in a band just for fun and loves it. We also still go out to see our buskers every chance we get. She always gives me a peck on the cheek and thanks me for introducing her to music. For me as a parent music appreciation is important. It taps into your soul and can save your life. What can I say....."Music is life." ❤
im busking for a living at the moment and there is nothing more beautiful about it than kids starting to dance forcing their parents to stay there either annoyed or amazed 😂
Who better than Ren, to genuinely express Kurt's interest in music? Absolutely perfect!

I’m a huge Nirvana fan and don’t usually enjoy covers of their music because i feel like the emotion isn’t right in most of it, too glossy or cute or something… but fcking blown away by this. Fuck yeah, Ren! Thanks for sharing your art and your soul with the world.
Nirvana means a lot to me Ren! They were my brothers favorite that passed away. You did beautiful. Kurt was one of a kind, and I think you did it justice. Thank you!
Indeed he was! One of a kind, but then so is this strange enigmatic Welsh Boy I keep hearing of... Ren, I think that's what they call him? From what I hear? A cover of another album? Would be a great idea, but an awful waste of talent. 😉 I'm so sorry to learn about your brother. I'm sure he would've been a huge fan of Rens and I bet he's really proud of you for your taste in great music, something the two of you can share forever ❤❤❤❤
@Tinkerbell9332 an absolute pleasure! It's straight from the heart 🫶🏻 ... I can't imagine losing a sibling. But to loss, I can relate. And how music keeps people alive in our hearts, long after they're gone.🫂🎸🎙❤️
@@jackhughes7637 We all know. What is your point with that comment? Have you heard some of his original songs. That is why I made the comment about his talent. Prince also sung Radiohead's song in the Super Bowl half time and it was the best show ever done for a Super Bowl. 🤭
GenX here. I’ve been following you for a couple of years now. You never cease to amaze. Your talent is obvious but, what makes you special is you just fucking belt from the heart and soul. Voice, instrument, lyrics, whatever. I’m 53 now. You are my favorite artist today. Just fucking keep on writing, singing, playing whatever you feel. Much love.
I'm 74 and feel the same, lived through many musical innovations and genres Ren is not only up there with the greats but actively surpasses many. Firmly in the top echelon historically
I just got off a long shift at work, and this was the best thing to come home to, Ren and Nirvana are my two favourites, Kurt and Ren are my musical heroes!
Ren I love the way you cover Heart Shaped Box it is one of my favourite Nirvana tracks. Please Ren I would really love a fully produced cover of this. This lifted me so much today, you’ll never know how much. Thank you❤
So, grunge would be def a brave new challenge for our hero - beautiful and sad melodies, lots of disturbing guitars and even more harsh, real, life transforming stories to tell. I say - yes, please.
Imagaine just walking past...and not realizing you're ignoring the best ARTIST and musical genius of our time. I would literally scream like a fan girl if I was walking down the street and ran into Ren just singing.
Unglaublich...... Ich....... Und tausend andere Menschen..... Würden es als absolutes Geschenk ansehen,diese Situation erleben zu dürfen ❤ Hier laufen die Leute vorbei......! So unterschiedlich sind WIR.
Thank you for putting this one up. As someone that has been listening to them since they were a kid, I think that this is one of the top covers that I have heard. Keep being you!
Ok wow. Where is this? I must have been living under a rock. Never heard of Ren in Germany now I am finding myself falling in this rabbit hole and the sheer talent is overwhelming...
Wow this is amazing. It's one thing to hear someone do a great cover, but it's a whole new level when you're able to do a different rendition that has your own style in it and is as good as original. Amazing!
Ren, this is one of my fav busking videos from you..... kurt would be proud with the way you sand these songs. Would love to see even more nirvana covers from you! Or even incubus. 😊💜💜💜
Ren covering Nirvana...one musical genius, with the potential to change the musical landscape forever, covering a band that did exactly that over 30 years ago.
Now and then, a cover beats the original: ~ Disturbed’s “The Sound of Silence” ~ Alien Ant Farm’s “Smoth Criminal” ~Ren’s “Heart Shaped Box” (with a bit of “Lithium” at the end).
😮 Comme j'aimerais tellement y être là-bas pour voir ce jeune homme surdoué polyvalent unique grand artiste complet pur chef d'œuvre je l'aime tellement merci REN 🙏
Oh, my goodness - A true creator, and all of those whom care are Empathatic as only humane Kindness Can - Recovery is more than survival - Thank you REN & kin❤
Oh cool, Heartshaped Box has to be one of my favorite Nirvana songs, and Lithium has just been covered so many times, yet somehow Ren still does it justice. Never stop doing covers I could listen to them all days, it shows amazing range.
One of my fave songs when I was young, I was the right age when Grunge was a thing :) I love how Ren lifts other up despite his issues. You're a good soul Ren, never stop fighting.
I just love it when you can see so clearly that the artist loves and feel the music like you do, make sure you never drop it, like I did when life got in between me and the music, keep the fire burning 🔥🔥🔥
Ooh love this!! There are so many great covers from this busking session! Please upload more! 😁 Message in a bottle House of the rising sun Breezeblocks
You paint pictures with words. Your art is deep and true and beautiful. It's art that doesn't hang on my wall but it hangs on my heart and It goes wherever I go,
Truly one of the best interpretation of both Nirvana's sound and Kurt's emotional range. So great to see some one "get" it. What a treat for those passerbys!
Ren, my lord you are one talented young man. I hope you become completely cured of all your health issues, and have continued success in music. You are without a doubt my favorite new artist. You should promote your song GIRLS! more. I love that song : )
I am Gen X. I was there at the beginning of the rise of Nirvana and Grunge music. Their sound was so different and exciting. It was an exhilarating time for music. I feel so blessed that I am able to experience that sensation again with a new genre and a new icon. I can't wait to hear and see all the amazing things Ren will accomplish.
@@Threadbow , Ya, but it’s Ren. I’m 60, and I know about Ren. That voice would stop me in my tracks. Those people don’t look like busy NYC types. They look like casual shoppers who don’t want to drop a fiver.
I have no idea how people can just walk by. I'd be camping out until he left. So talented.
Ironically, he doesn't seem bothered if anyone is paying attention. He'd be there anyway. lol
people got places to be
I’d hear that distinctive Ren voice and I’d be running to the music.

Amen! I'd at least walk really slow.
Ren somehow embodied being unique whilst keeping the integrity of Nirvana💜🖤💜🖤💜
It's just a cover man, don't overthink it.

This guy! He gets a number 1 album and still goes out and busks in Brighton. Sticking to what made him who he is. What a legend!
This is an old clip . He’s not in Brighton now
If REN were busking doing Heart Shaped Box in Seattle the reaction would be totally insane
I LOVE that mother at the end teaching her kid how to donate to a busker!
That... was awesome.
And then Ren swearing at the kid XD

This dude gave me chills man. Made me miss kurt even more. Makes us Gen X's realize what we had back then, and how good kurt was and Nirvana.. god..
Wish I'd seen Nirvana when I had the chance. Kurt wrote pain like no one. I love that Ren transitions from HSB to Lithium at the end.
You should see his original songs
Who better than Ren, to genuinely express Kurt's interest in music? Absolutely perfect!

A grunge-girl waves to you Tink! Kurt, Lane, Jeff, Chris... Ren has to stay
This is one of the most talented and under rated singers out right now
Completely agree. It shows also how broken the music industry is, that a talent like this is not even if their radar.
Big time

Yes, please!
This. And Sublime
I would do unspeakable things to make this happen 🤣
💯❤
I want a Ren acoustique cover
So, grunge would be def a brave new challenge for our hero - beautiful and sad melodies, lots of disturbing guitars and even more harsh, real, life transforming stories to tell. I say - yes, please.
I'd like to see him cover some Alice in Chains, if anyone could pick up where Layne left off it's Ren. He's got the range and the pain.
I'd love to see some Chris Cornell covers too. He would be one of a very few who could fo this genre justice.
What a voice!!! What a cover! Love ya Ren!!
Ooh goose bumps when he said "HEY WAIT!!" 1:00
F*!! That part kills me every time... obsessed!
He sounded just like Kurt
Imagaine just walking past...and not realizing you're ignoring the best ARTIST and musical genius of our time. I would literally scream like a fan girl if I was walking down the street and ran into Ren just singing.
alot of people dont know him yet, hes great- best i dunno, ronnie radke, eminem, id tend to rank i bit higher

Dude!... this is absolute gold dust. All the time I spent in Brighton every weekend I obviously missed the great stuff. Thanks, Ren...

@@stevewildish7063calm down mate why you getting so pressed?
The range of music you play/cover is just awesome .. your taste in music is as awesome as your talent of re/creating it
Thank you for putting this one up. As someone that has been listening to them since they were a kid, I think that this is one of the top covers that I have heard. Keep being you!
Phenomenal!! Your such a blessing to listen to. I love your vibrate groovy spirit. I can't wait for the future of Ren. Change the world!!✨️🙏
How lucky everyone is just to casually see Ren like this!
Who is he?
Ren??! Look him up.
thats what i was thinking~ he bad ass
also how lucky my dudes boxers are sitting so tight 😂😂
Just found out about him today, listened to that 10 minute song he made. What a talented guy.
Ok wow. Where is this? I must have been living under a rock. Never heard of Ren in Germany now I am finding myself falling in this rabbit hole and the sheer talent is overwhelming...
You definitely need to UA-cam 'Hi Ren'. Pure genius.
Looks like Brighton but I lived there a long time ago and could be wrong
Wow this is amazing. It's one thing to hear someone do a great cover, but it's a whole new level when you're able to do a different rendition that has your own style in it and is as good as original. Amazing!
How do I get this directly into my veins, please? The feeling ,the grit, the rasp in his voice...yes please!! Can not wait for the new music!!! ❤✌
😊
Ren just never fails to amaze me with what he can do. All time favorite musician. Big love!
Ren, this is one of my fav busking videos from you..... kurt would be proud with the way you sand these songs. Would love to see even more nirvana covers from you! Or even incubus. 😊💜💜💜
Making my heart feel whole with your singing again, you never fail 🖤
THIS IS EXCEPTIONAL, YOU MORE THAN EXCEED MY EXPECTATIONS !!! YOUR VOICE IS GOLD !!
I've been a huge Nirvava fan for over 30 years (shit, it's been that long). Most people really fuck up Nirvana covers, but this is great.
Ren covering Nirvana...one musical genius, with the potential to change the musical landscape forever, covering a band that did exactly that over 30 years ago.
Ren… covering Nirvana… covering Velvet Underground ….“here she comes now now” I would LOVE to hear 😊
Only by title I gave thumbs up! But when Ren starts playing and his raw vocals on it I gave 100% respect!! 🎸💯
Awesome! I normally don't like covers that well. But you did great!! I love your music, voice, and messages you bring!
Now and then, a cover beats the original:
~ Disturbed’s “The Sound of Silence”
~ Alien Ant Farm’s “Smoth Criminal”
~Ren’s “Heart Shaped Box” (with a bit of “Lithium” at the end).
@@SuziQ. I love Disturbed's! But I don't think I heard the original artist first. Lol I'll have to check out the other one!
Delicous. Your taste in music is brilliant and your interpretations are great enough to make the icons proud.
I think this young man can make any song sound better. Thanks for sharing. 👍
My two favourite artists ❤ I saw Nirvana live 3 times and Ren just channeled all of Kurt’s emotion ❤
Two of my favourite nirvana songs. Very smooth transition.
Just imagine taking a casual walk in Brighton and bumping into this LEGEND.
😮 Comme j'aimerais tellement y être là-bas pour voir ce jeune homme surdoué polyvalent unique grand artiste complet pur chef d'œuvre je l'aime tellement merci REN 🙏
I LOVE YOU COVERING KURT!! THIS MEANS THE WORLD!! FOREVER IN DEBT TO YOUR PRICELESS ADVICE !! BLOODY BRILLIANT ❤❤❤❤❤
My favourite song by Nirvana!! This is amazing, your voice is haunting in this Ren 🥰

@@noahlewis4903 , AI makes sh!t music.
@@SuziQ. Lol... As with every ignorant comment on AI, the only response is, "for now".
Nah, I met Kurt, he was a prick, Ren is much more positive vibes.
@@jonathansteadman7935 even if we a prick doesn't mean they wouldn't make a great collab. Ren is a huge Kurt fan so, I'm sure he'd be up for it 😉
I’ve so missed music, for over 20 years it’s been a creative desert. I always believed the music would come back, beautiful.
Who knew that I would love someone besides Kurt doing this song. I have yet to hear a single track/cover of yours that I don't think is fantastic.
Oh, my goodness - A true creator, and all of those whom care are Empathatic as only humane Kindness Can - Recovery is more than survival - Thank you REN & kin❤
You keep pressing more of my personal nostalgia buttons all at once, like a kid in an elevator. 😂 And I love it! ❤

Love when the cupboards get dug through :-) even better when it's one of my favourite Nirvana songs
Brilliant!!! Performance and reaction ❤
This is what covers are for. Representing the universality of the human experience. Honestly, it's one of the things I love most about music
Goosebumps and I honestly can't stomach anyone covering Kurt usually. You are amazing m8 much ❤️. 👏 🤩
One of my favourite songs ever written x you do it justice.
I love your live street performances. Never stop with this .....please !!!!no matter how big you gonna be
That guitar sound is on point. Awesome covers!
Such a voice. Only uses it rarely too, so it's always a banger. Love this guy ❤
Ohhh when the cover sounds great.
I love this type of Ren🎉
Excellent version Ren. You look great too. ❤ much love to you and your friends too.
1st! Love ya Ren! Amazing soul and talent!

Goosebumps! Sounding great Ren!
Brilliant vision of this Nirvana song! I love the busking videos to watch how the people come together to experience this magic!!
These people had no idea he would have a number one album.
Hilarious to see them just walking by.............a least some appreciated a great talent!!
Played exactly as they were meant to be heard, perfectly imperfect. Simply brilliant. Thank you.
Incredible! It’s the way you make it look so easy! You’re the real deal, brother! 🙏🏻
