The Verve were huge in UK, Europe and elsewhere. More than a one hit wonder, I guess they didn’t make inroads in the States. Richard Ashcroft is a genius song writer 👌 Only a couple of years ago did he get back the rights to the song that put them on the map because of that sample that the stones ripped off themselves. And by the way Ren sums up the UK beautifully in this, he smashed it out the park.

Yep, i think this is one of his cleverest one takes, its full of perfect timing, My Favorite is when he says "in the city we glow" as he walks into the sunshine, that perfect shot would only be possible for a small time window each day, so dedicated to his craft...
@MissMeKate 27 күн бұрын
@@ian9033 I love that shot! It is all so well timed. Not sure if it counts as a oner though because of the cuts when he is stepping in and out of the pavement cracks. Was filmed when the light was different and they flip between the two. But that takes nothing at all away from how difficult the timing must have been for all the complicated continuous shots. Each moving part is a place it could have gone wrong! I love that videos like this one were part of the foundations for what he ultimately did with MG3. Practice, playing with ideas, learning by doing.

@leewoodard5871 26 күн бұрын
Urban Hymns one of the great 90s albums. Certainly not a one hit wonder. They got permission from Decca Records but Allan Klein the famously hard manager of the Stones, sued them. They had to hand over all royalties. Then in 2019, after Klein had been dead 10 yeyars, the Stones signed the rights back to The Verve. The Ren retake mimics the classic original video.

Guys, I can't believe you are just getting to this. And you know what? I totally love it. Gives me an excuse to revisit/relisten to a reaction. A few items to note. He stops and bows his head with the lyrics "His mother's in a black suit, crying at a funeral". If you look at the pavement where he stops the pavement looks like a grave. He twice uses "As above, so below" in the lyrics. The phrase is not random. It has it's own Wikipedia page which states among other things "Among historians of philosophy and science, the verse is often understood as a reference to the supposed effects of celestial mechanics upon terrestrial events. This would include the effects of the Sun upon the change of seasons, or those of the Moon upon the tides, but also more elaborate astrological effects." It's interesting to note that the first time he uses the phrase as he literally steps into the rising morning sunlight (celestial mechanics) and says "here in the city we glow" (terrestrial event).

The verve were huge during the late 90's. A Northern Soul was a brilliant album. Great songs included History, Sonnet, The Drugs Don't Work, Lucky man, velvet morning. Richard Ashcroft is a genius, his solo work is incredible too.

It's fun watching the videos and trying to see exactly where each one was filmed. From the Laines, to the sea front, to the waste ground by the Marina, to the shots in Churchill Square - It's such a visual city.

What I really love about this is that it's only a cover in the sense that it takes the background music and the trope of walking along the street in the video as the two standout elements of the original Verve track. Everything else is new. But even the walking along the street thing is different, because in the original, Richard Ashcroft bumps into people deliberately in a sort of slightly aggressive way, and the people he bumps into act as if they're genuinely pissed off. Whereas here, Ren has a much more uplifting stroll where he's observing and celebrating life while still recognising the challenges we face. It's as if Ren has completely reinvented the concept of the original music with a totally different vibe.

This looks a lot like a one take, but notice the light and shadows change, vehicles suddenly appear and disappear. I dont know if it was a couple of takes one morning or subsequent days trying to catch the same sunrise angles, but its definitely more than one take. And yes, we have KFC, McD, Burger King, Subway, Krispy Kreme, but also Tim Hortons from Canada and some other not US fast food places, we dont have much of our own fast food chains, Wimpeys was pushed by international chains and I dont even know what else there was, but on the other hand there are thousands of standalone takeaway shops or small local chains.
