Congratulations to Ren for getting that number 1 spot with his album Sick Boi! I'm so happy for him, he deserves it 🥰
There is something about listening to live music performed purely for the love of it. The joy in their craft just oozes out of every note. 🥰
Gorran is awesome on bass. Viz Englishman in New York by The Big Push
@@TrianglesAndCircles ......FACTS!!
Ren is NR1 in UK charts!!!!Thank you this reaction
I play this everyday for my 1.5 Yr old granddaughter it's our special time together 😊🤗 ❤
Love that, I listen to this one often. It just makes me happy haha
I love Romain rapping in French in this one. Also, it's not everyone who can pull of a smokin' ukelele solo. Thanks Joe E
It's a Mandolin
@@rimskykorsakov2892 It's neither. It is a sopranino ukulele
Goran on bass. Not sure of the spelling. Love how everyone starts the song but him. Then he slowly takes a last sip of wine and then smoothly drops the bass line. Goran's voice is amazing when they do rolling stones type stuff (paint it black).
It’s so amazing to me that The Big Push didn’t get truly ‘discovered’
They might have done & probably would have done if not for Ren's health issues. I'd guess the same reason Ren couldn't commit to a record label as a solo artist, would be the same reason The Big Push couldn't. Likely got approached & had to decline.
@@AD270479 ...The reason they split in 2022, is because Ren obviously had his solo stuff and continued treatments in Canada to take care of, then Romain and Gorran both had, and I'm quoting Ren from their final show..."Had amazing opportunities individually offered to them, that would would spread the three out to 3 different corners of the planet". But he assured the crowd there was nothing but love between them and they looked forward to the day they were located closer together, and could start playing or making music again.
Also The Big Push had a lot of buzz in the music biz, and all 8 of their singles they released, except for the first one, was done so with a label. Same with Ren's new album Sick Boi. People need to realize that there are all kinds of different labels, and unless you're singed with Sony, Warner or Universal (the big 3), you are NOT a "signed or industry" artist, you're still officially categorized as an independent or "indie" artist. The Big Push signed with XVII Records.

Up next from the Big Push: "Watch Out", the official video. It's the most adorable thing ever.
Joe E. Did you see Ren got the #1 album in the UK this week? He Rick Rolled Rick Astley for the top spot 😁. Love your channel and reactions, truly man ❤
Rick got RENrolled!😊❤
Can't wait to see you react to THIS.
His name is Goran Kendall.
You really need to see The Big Push Icarus.
Goran sings lead in it.
It's an original and an official music video.
Won't spoil it with details.
But, want to.
Oh and you have to also see the Behind the Push making of Icarus. It's a kind of mocumentary of Behind the Music. They are hilarious in it.
@@CherylAwh DEFINITELY
Gorran Kendall is the bassist (and sometimes guitarist) in The Big Push. Also big ups to Ren for his UK #1 record!
This is an adapted Big Push version not a close copy of the original
Goran is great doing the lead in rolling stones covers like paint it black
Congratulations to Ren number 1 uk album charts
You were 100% right when you said they were "synched" - this performance is such a good demonstration of their talent. To be able to create this "groove" you need real trust, respect and understanding between the musicians. It just seems so natural that the music flows out of them effortlessly. So fucking good ! (Who knew that a ukulele solo could sound so good ? BTW this was recorded on the same rooftop as the beginning of Murderer)
Joe so glad you got to this man! It's a deep rabbit hole!
Wait...have you not done Wade in the Water? Gorran ( golden haired guy) sings beautifully in the second part of that
One of my favorites! Gorran's vocals are so good! He kills it on Paint It Black and Lonely Boy also!
One of my favourites!
Goran Kendall bass
This is one my absolute fave's by The Big Push
That intro was me forgetting to respond to texts because I was busy when the text came in and then I forgot and then I was like oh.....no 😂😂😂😂😂😂🧡🧡🧡🧡
I love this song and listen to it often. I love them just chillin’ and vibing. It is a vibe! I love Romain’s voice and French rapping in this . He is a talented artist as well! All of the Big Push is wildly talented. Take a dive into their music. Thanks for watching this one
That is the rooftop of their flat! It is the same rooftop where Ren did Murderer! Love when Romain sings in French! The bass player is Gorran Kendall and he has a great voice too! As always loved the reaction! ❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Ren got his #1 album!!! So deserved!!!
I love the happy vibe on this one!
This reminds me of being a teenager, hanging out on the beach with friends, playing and singing whatever songs we knew most of the chords and words to. ❤
Love this song ❤
I have to imagine how incredible it was to be around them during this time. Just some Great musicians, always pushing to become better and better. They all drove each other to improve. With the exception of the drummer (and I ONLY say this because I've never seen him play anything but drums), they ALL played all the instruments (rhythm, lead, bass, and even drums). One of Ren's greatest traits is to push those around him to the front. He WANTS you to see what he sees, how special his friends truly are. He doesn't feel the need to hog the spotlight....his personality shines through no matter what he's doing.
This one is such a bop! 😂💜
Wonderful song! ❤️
This is one of my absolute favs. It’s so much fun!! I like this better than the original too. The harmonies in their voices and their instruments?!? Forget it. Nothing short of perfection ♥️
Regarding the drummer (Glenn Chambers): This video was released in April 2020 shortly after the UK lockdown began (not sure when it was filmed though) and I believe Glenn returned to Ireland during that time. Ren and Romaine were roommates and Gorran may have stayed with them for a while.
Such a great cover!♥️🎶♥️
Oh yes and it’s Glenn Chambers who usually plays drums.. 😊
I never looked at the table before! That’s why I need your reactions!
These three lived together, and there’s a number of songs and videos without him.
This one's for your algorithm...I'll come back in a bit 😊.
Love your enthusiasm and appreciation for this amazing group of fellows! And YAAASSSS!!
Rick was RENrolled right off the top spot on the UK Charts! REN is NÚMERO UNO BABEEEEEEY!
🐷☝️🎉❤️🔥
Favorite original Big Push song videos that a videographer might appreciate (and I don’t think you have seen yet):
Dignity
Why My Woman
Watch Out
Icarus
Precious
This is one of my favorite Big Push sessions, like you said about having desserts and some wine and grabbing guitars. It really feels that way. Such a beautiful jam session and I love their version of this. Romains rap gets me every time and I don't even speak French and have no clue if he actually insulted me personally in his lyrics, but it just sounds so so good. Just a vibe.
Glad you found this - one of my favourites. Try Precious (not a cover) - animated version x
I know you would get all the feels from The Big Push - Wade in the Water / Nina Simone / Trouble So Hard. Ren takes you to church on that one, and Gorran sings beautifully on that also.
Great song and great cover. I Love Ren and his art. Fantastic news that his album reached number one in the UK. Kind of hoping he will do a little lighter work for the next few releases.....yeh I know ... sending the message and highlighting certain ailments in both society and the human condition has brought him to the fore but....... I do love it when he does these kind of songs as well.
Thanks for the reaction man always watching your feeds.
Much love for this reaction as it has been my summer vibe since Manu Chao dropped the original. This year, I almost only listened to the big push's rendition 😊
Cheers from Germany 🤘
Oh wow, that seems like a huge endorsement indeed, from someone who loves the original so much!
@@rebeccaburnell9319 it sure is! From time to time, one has to embrace a modern and more passionate approach than sticking to tradition 😉
I agree. I can be picky about covers, but I really enjoy this one 😎👍
@@lajoyous1568 same here! Though, I am getting a bit softer now with age.
After a glass of wine and a "ganja" , you are ready to rock and roll 😂
This song brings all the smiles!!! And that uke solo is amazing! ❤️🎶
Yurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! This is one of my favorites!
The vibe on this one is pure joy; I play it all the time!
The Bassist is Goran. He’s a good song writer in his own right and is quite ‘folk’ orientated.
I love this so much. Really hope they get back together at some point
Always love it when peop!e find this one - a real gem
Thank you No Y,
Every time I tune in you, never disappoint
Gorran Kendall is on bass - his playing is so good
Man you couldn't be more happy to stop the video. Looking for a reason 😊
This was during the lockdown. As 3 of them were flatmates, they probably lived on that rooftop... And that is the roof they filmed Murderer! on :D
And PLEASE consider doing a reaction to their Live Nation stream from Gorran's bedroom LOL
Perhaps do it on live, it's 25ish min they did 5 songs, 3 originals and 2 covers, but the most precious thing is just how much fun they had... Golden days of golden boys
Check out their cover of Wade in the water/trouble so hard/feeling good. Goran (bassist here) sings the last song. But the whole thing is wonderful.
Absolutely love this tune! Thank you for loving it too! So Stoked for Ren getting No.1album in the UK!Thank you for supporting him with your channel ❤
Wade In the water/ Trouble So Hard is great! Sweet Little Lady! There's an acoustic version and a video version. Both are great! Watch Out is an original. Video is cute, but i prefer their busking version. You could do both versions, like a 2 for 1 video to contrast and compare!
love this one of theirs, another great reaction vid Joe!
I've only just realised this is the same roof top as Murderer. Love this song, and enjoyed your reaction as always.
Gorran posted on Instagram that he has a song coming soon. He's out doing good deeds in Greece, but says somethings coming.
The Big Push are so diverse in their repertoire of music! From originals to cover songs, they are so entertaining and give 💯 % 🎉
Sure as the Sun has light These friends show us what's what.
The vibe on this always gives me a happy feeling. It does seem so free anf full of enjoyment.
This is my nr 1 song on my play list for the gym. A guy asked me in the grocery store one day - I always see you walking in to the gym with a smile, headphones on, wiggling your hips - What are you listening to? 🙈🤣💙
Hip hip hooray!
Hip hip hooray!
Hip hip hooray!.....
Number 1 in UK, I'm so happy for him man!...
All of us, fans and reactors, should feel congratulated!
Thanks for another reaction.
Nooooooo don't burn yourself with your coffee!!!!!!!!
Bongo Bong... unique footage of Ren letting his signature hairstyle lapse during lockdown (... I don't think it's from before he adopted it?)
Love this one, the energy is so FIRE!
I don't know if your reaction was recorded today or not, but even if it's from à day or two together, this is some beautiful energy for the Reniverse celebration of the Sick Boi album charting at #1 ❤
Not sure if you'd to go down this separate rabbit hole, buuuut this is a cover of Manu Chao's song of the same. Legendary singer - sang in French, Spanish, English, Portuguese and i think some Catalan too? An incredible artist in his own right. Also sang and played for a band called Mano Negra (Black Hand), which was ITSELF a famous international band. Makes total sense that Ren covered him, Manu Chao is in some ways the proto-Ren.
Songs you could check out if you felt like it (please excuse lack of proper accent notation):
- Me llaman calle
- Me Gustas Tu
- Politik Kills
- The Bleedin Clown
- Clandestino
Me Gustas Tu is probably the most radio friendly aside from Bongo Bong, to me :)
1. When us Americans see a ukulele we often think country folk, maybe a band camp kid at a renaissance fair, when we see a European person with one, we think, well they're too sophisticated for that to be a ukulele, surely it's something with a fancy 15th century European name ....nope, your gut instinct was correct, it was a ukulele indeed.
2. Full cover song - Manu Chao is a French-Spanish singer, he and his band were big in the 90's, they've released songs in French, Spanish, English, Italian, Arabic, Catalan, Galician, Portuguese and Greek and they are usually associated with Reggae, Calypso, Alternative-Island type Indie music.
3. Your perception again, very good, although I thought you might recognize the location. I'm not sure who's actually on the lease, but when the pandemic started, Ren, Romain and bassist Gorran, all moved into the apartment that accesses that roof, so they could work on music and not test constantly, not sure why the drummer, I think his name is Glenn, chose not to join them. Not sure if this was shot during the pandemic, but it is the same rooftop they used at the beginning of the "Murderer" video when Ren is hitting the heavy bag.
4. Great reaction as usual!!!! ✌️💚
It's a Mandolin not a Ukulele
@@rimskykorsakov2892 .......Nope, sorry, Ukulele. Mandolin has 8 strings, a Ukulele has 4.
www.allaboutukulele.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Difference-Between-Mandolin-and-Ukulele.png
Just do any of their vids you’ve not screened. So glad you hit this one! A fave!
You are so funny Joe E! My coffee is fresh out of the pot! Sip!
Bassist is Gorran. So smooth... Mmmm.
The French lyrics are:
"Je ne t'aime plus, mon amour" I don't love you anymore, my love.
"Parfois j'aimerai mourir, tellement j'ai voulu croire" Sometimes I wish to die, so strongly I wanted to believe.
"Parfois j'aimerai mourir, pour ne plus rien avoir" Sometimes I wish to die, to not have anything left.
"Parfois j'aimerai mourir, pour ne plus te voir, car... [je ne t'aime plus...]" Sometimes I wish to die, to not see you anymore, because...
"Parfois j'aimerai mourir, pour ne plus rien savoir" Sometimes..., to not know anything anymore.
"Parfois j'aimerai mourir, pour ne plus te revoir" Sometimes..., to not see you again
"Je ne t'aime plus... tous les jours" I don't love you anymore... every day.
aaanyway, that was a clunky translation on my part. See you in the live! I _will_ make one, I must!
You want to hear Gorran sing? Watch “Paint It Black”❤He is a rocker!
His cover of Bowie’s ‘Heroes’ is pretty damn good too.
Ren s new album has just entered the UK album chart at number 1.....boom.
Yes at last my favourite, I love this. I did see someone say that was a Pineapple Ukelele but I dont have a clue!! Oh and the base player is Gorran.
Thanks for reacting to this. One of my all time favorites!!
I member the first time I saw chillin vibes.😮
You should give Manu Chao a listen, he's the buskers busker. The original Bongo Bong or maybe Clandestino Live.
One of best covers ever. Manu Chao are class. This was the first thing I heard by these lads that elevated them above just class buskers.
sweet little lady live version 👍
I love this one. Romain and are so good together!
Do them all!!!
You can tell that they just love music! So much talent
I cannot tell you how much i LOVE this song! Thanks for this great reaction!
So glad you did this one, it's my favorite Big Push song. It's such a "feel good" song! The song itself is so upbeat and fun, the synergy between them is a joy to witness and the setting, like just jamming with friends 🤩 Love love love!!!
Good job.REN’s # one in the UK and # three in the world.Peace
Great reaction Joe! Did you notice its the same roof as first scene of Murderer was shot on?
This is a great one to start on, of my favorites from the Big Push live. Can't wait till you see Sweet little lady (live) completely different vibes then the studio, as usual, I love the live vibes

Please react to The Big Push - Praise You ( Fatboy Slim Cover ) if you want to hear more harmonies and Romain & Gorran singing. Love love love this so much! Thank you 🧡
The song is called Bongo Bong, not Bongo Bongo. The clue is in the words used for the title.

Idk how I missed this song but holy shit that’s amazing. I heard a club remix of that years ago when I was born in New York sounds completely different but amazing!!! Every damn one those boys are amazing but Ren and Romaine were literally put on this earth to create music!
I love this one 😊
