"have the courage to play it as if you wrote it" I totally agree. And I too love how they make the songs they cover their own. But even more cool is that if you watch them sing any particular song in different performances, you'll see there are differences each time. So whether you're watching them busk, or watching them sing in their apartment or on a roof, etc. each performance is unique. I just love that.
Thanks for doing this song. They are just magical together and play with such joy. One where they each sing a part that is fun is "What Kind Of Woman Is This (live)"
Ren nearly always uses multiple cameras, even in his live 1 takes. He did the same with the Big Push's live, non-busking, videos. As well as doing all the production, of course. He was their, not so, secret weapon! :)
I don't think they can do a cover exactly following the original ;) I recognize this in myself, following a set formula never works for me, to follow a recipe, a pattern or whatever.. I start off fine, but soon my neurodivergent brain branches out automatically and comes up with its own ingredients and modifications even though I don't want it to! Yay for The Big Push - their charisma as a band is unmatched :)
Bongo bong I shot the sheriff/road to Zion/hip hop/ Dignity Praise you But dang it I love so many Next week that may change lol I’m really digging the Nina Simone gig too uggh
Here is one of my playlists Romaine axsisa- ua-cam.com/play/PLJDpFiX2FEnwcVR0Bfgvhg24K3aZF07Rk.html&si=kFFOunHjQ1-DFLfP Big push -some ren ua-cam.com/play/PLJDpFiX2FEnwcVR0Bfgvhg24K3aZF07Rk.html&si=kFFOunHjQ1-DFLfP I so enjoy my little playlists I even have one that I play when I’m fishing lol
One of the better reactions for this song; well done. I like your channel because you listen and comment with a very introspective mind. That, coupled with your musical background, captures many interesting points. Thanks!
The smile on your thumbnail says it all!! 💕 This is one of my favorites. I realize I say that a lot, but this one gives me a boost. They do a great job putting their own personal flair whenever they do covers or mashups. And you can just feel their joy in performing together. Hopefully Ren’s health will allow him to do live performances again. I bet his misses it terribly! This was filmed by Samuel Perry-Falvey and yes, it was a one take. What they often do when they have different camera angles is shoot it live, but then utilize some B roll shots to add some visual interest. I believe this was another one just filmed in their apartment building. The funny joke about this video/cover is it’s an Englishman, Welshman, and Frenchman. If Glen was there, then add an Irishman to the list 😼 It was fun seeing Ren and friends enjoy NYC recently as a late birthday celebration / work trip.
Glad to hear this and others give you a boost, Elizabeth! I'm sure he'll be performing live again at some point! Will probably be something interesting too! Thanks for the other info!
All one take. Love these guys!!! They are all so very talented individually and they do make magic together. Love how the dog really put a smile on your face 😊
I love when ren does his, what i call, "I dont know what to do with my hands" 😂 where he just holds them up or like shakes them while holding them up. He gets so into it 😊💜💜
I don’t think this is a one shot, for the same reasons that you thought. But the hatmonies are exquisite. Glad those skinny pants wrnt out of fashion! Must have been early days of the band,you think? Ren is so thin and his face puffy from nedications, probably. I don’t know why i akways notice these things. But in comparison, he looks so much more mature and healthy these days. He is dropping a new song May 9th, called Troubles. Background track is Troubles so hard ,original sample from Vera Hall .Ren is telling his story in song for the first time. This feels like an earthquake coming.
I kinda like 'em! But to quote Oscar Wilde; “A fashion is merely a form of ugliness so unbearable that we are compelled to alter it every six months.” Will be interesting to hear the new tune. He's had a lot of autobiographical songs already though, right?
Have you checked out their rendition of 'Praise You'? It's funny you mention harmonies and even the Beatles as there are certain aspects of it where Ren reminds me of a young McCartney and man, their harmonies in it are just something else!
The Big Push always seemed to be able to pull a song back to essentials, and then rebuild it with their own "Pushiness". Thanks Izzy! I don't think you've done the FatBoy Slim cover of "Praise You". Or maybe you could try an original, "It's Alright" (The Big Push video, not the other (one? two?) by Ren with the same title.
Thank you Sir, another awesome reaction, I’ve heard the original 100’s of times but when Ren sings it the words are more prominent, thank you again 🙏🐊❤️🦉👍
Izzy, I love their version of Sting’s song. I have it on my playlist and must listen to it at least twice a week, you did a nice reaction. The doggie is a nice touch. The also chose clothing very Brit like to this American!
So I went and listened to stings version live and studio and it was good but this… This was sassy poppy and makes me want to do a little jig lol Plus the guitars 🎸 from all of them are impeccable!! REN shines in this for sure but they complement him soo beautifully Just love this lol I keep coming back to it because I think it’s so cool watching you enjoy it I love seeing music that makes me happy make others happy too Is that weird? lol
These three were doing vocal harmonies equal to the best pop boy bands, equal to Crosby, Stills and Nash and Sweet Honey In The Rock. All three of them multi-instrumentalist, all of them writers, engaging street performers, we wish they had a Dylanesque never ending tour. Glen could expand his kit, he's a damn good drummer, btw, quick and light but he can hit hard when he needs to.They could open for Dylan and Stevie Wonder or pick your favorite rock legend still touring, The Stones, god bless them. Dave Brock would try to recruit them to Hawkwind. The kind of future talented hard working young rockers can realistically look forward to.
Thanks for his one. I've seen it dozens of times and still you pointed out a thing to two I hadn't noticed. I holding back making recommendations but you still haven't reacted to a couple of my The Big Push favorites, so I'm looking forward to that.
@@IzzyIzenstain - if you're referring to this one: ua-cam.com/video/8Rpbg9FG1-o/v-deo.htmlsi=1CsXK8NJJJkIQxVp - Yeah, its certainly one of my favorites.
I’m not sure but if it is multiple takes whoever did the editing did a fantastic job of it because if there are cuts they’re indiscernible to the casual viewer.

It's great stuff isn't it. Real in the moment magic.
Check out bongo bong next to get a great mix of their vocals
Hopefully will get to that soon. There's a few on the list first.
This one lifts me up every time I watch. There's a joy in their music when they're performing as a group.
Thanks for doing this song. They are just magical together and play with such joy. One where they each sing a part that is fun is "What Kind Of Woman Is This (live)"
Thanks for watching! I'm planning on doing that one soon. Maybe about 2 weeks away.

I was just thinking filming multiple cameras in such a narrow space would be a logistic nightmare. Although not impossible.
Always love your smile when you watch Big push. They have that effect on me as well. Great insights on their style.
Thanks Beverly!
Love this one. TBP are awesome. Loved your smile watching this 😅
Thanks Sandra!

They probably did 3 or 4 recorded takes and stitched the video together. The audio I believe is one take.
Yes, this is the way Hi Ren was done also.
@@LoutTsu And in only 30 minutes according to Ren because they were getting kicked out by the landlord.
Ohhh I’m soo happy you did this!!
One of my top 5 big push songs!:))
Loveeee this
Love EVERYTHING ABOUT IT ❤
What are the other 4?
Bongo bong
I shot the sheriff/road to Zion/hip hop/
Dignity
Praise you
But dang it I love so many
Next week that may change lol
I’m really digging the Nina Simone gig too uggh

Love this fun song, showing another range of the group 🇬🇧 in 🗽🎶👏💞
Pure joy watching them play together. Their chemistry is incredible. Loved this 💜💜
Thanks Kat!
All one take. Love these guys!!! They are all so very talented individually and they do make magic together. Love how the dog really put a smile on your face 😊
Thanks Carla! Glad you loved it!
I love when ren does his, what i call, "I dont know what to do with my hands" 😂 where he just holds them up or like shakes them while holding them up. He gets so into it 😊💜💜
Haha! Yeah, it's almost got some preacher vibes or something. It's a spiritual experience for him I guess. I can relate!

Great job again Izzy. I really enjoy your reaction videos..... Thanks
Thanks Barzo! Glad to have you here!
Cheers for this one izzy... always puts a smile on my face. The whole video and song is a vibe
Thanks Lou!
Have you checked out their rendition of 'Praise You'? It's funny you mention harmonies and even the Beatles as there are certain aspects of it where Ren reminds me of a young McCartney and man, their harmonies in it are just something else!
Love this one 🎶"Praise you " 😊
Haven't checked it out yet, but looking forward to it!
True! ❤❤

Haven't done it yet. But I do wanna get to it soon, although it's probably a few weeks away. Wanna check out It's Alright too. Thanks Bonnie!
Have you done Bongo Bong, really good too!!
Not yet, but hopefully will get to it before too long.
I love this cover, and your thoughtful reactions are always enjoyable.
Thanks! Glad to hear it!
Thank you Sir, another awesome reaction, I’ve heard the original 100’s of times but when Ren sings it the words are more prominent, thank you again 🙏🐊❤️🦉👍
Thank you!
Izzy, I love their version of Sting’s song. I have it on my playlist and must listen to it at least twice a week, you did a nice reaction. The doggie is a nice touch. The also chose clothing very Brit like to this American!
Yeah, Rens trousers feel like some late 70s British punk for sure! Thanks, Margaret!
❤❤❤
I rely like Ren guitar playing here, this jazzy flavor to it, along with a dash of reggae as so often.
Yeah, really nice isn't it!
Love your reactions & thoughts - this one is such a gem from The Big Push Legends ❤
Thanks Jo! Nice to have you here!
🔥🔥🔥
❤
So I went and listened to stings version live and studio and it was good but this…
This was sassy poppy and makes me want to do a little jig lol
Plus the guitars 🎸 from all of them are impeccable!!
REN shines in this for sure but they complement him soo beautifully
Just love this lol
I keep coming back to it because I think it’s so cool watching you enjoy it
I love seeing music that makes me happy make others happy too
Is that weird? lol
It’s natural I think. Probably why the reaction market has became such a big thing.
It’s kinda like watching something cool with a friend lol
I think you would like their What Kind of Woman cover. I mean, you'll probably like everything they have videos for, because they are awesome.
Gonna get to that one soon. It's my next Big Push one on my list.
Right just about to watch this. I love this and can't wait for your reaction. Ps. Ren. Heretic please🎉
I'll get to it soon :)

It would be cool! I would be very surprised if it's the last we see of them.
Nice reaction!
Thanks Lou!
Thanks for his one. I've seen it dozens of times and still you pointed out a thing to two I hadn't noticed. I holding back making recommendations but you still haven't reacted to a couple of my The Big Push favorites, so I'm looking forward to that.
Thanks Thomas! What Kind of Woman, is the next Big Push one on my list. Maybe it's one of your favs. But if not feel free to make a recommendation.
@@IzzyIzenstain - if you're referring to this one: ua-cam.com/video/8Rpbg9FG1-o/v-deo.htmlsi=1CsXK8NJJJkIQxVp - Yeah, its certainly one of my favorites.
Can’t wait to see you do what kind of woman is this
The big push
It's the next Big Push one on my list. Should be about 2 weeks away.
Yay!!
Great reaction. Don’t think it was a one take though but just my opinion.💕👍🦇
Thanks! Yeah, I'm unsure. Someone said it may have been one musical take, with video b-roll. Could be a possibility.
Gut gemacht
Kleiner Tipp ole 60 brother joe
Danke!
There were definitely different takes. At one point Ren's guitar isn't even plugged in.
That's a good spot!
@@IzzyIzenstain I guess that's what happens when you watch it 30 times or so
@@ChrisLawton66 Haha!
Not sure why but your speaking voice and accent reminds of younger Paul McCartney.
I didn't notice any breaks. The dog suggests continuity I think. More Big Push please.
I’m not sure but if it is multiple takes whoever did the editing did a fantastic job of it because if there are cuts they’re indiscernible to the casual viewer.
I've got videos ready for next week, but I'll get back to some Big Push after those.
@@IzzyIzenstain I shall prepare my ears.
