    They both deserve awards for song, production, and performance. Chinchilla posted a short yesterday, seemingly surprised that the whole audience knew every word. They are just beginning to realize their impact globally. It is wonderful to witness true talent rising. I have seen it with new artists before, but these two are a special breed.

    Ren is all about pulling people up and not putting people down... that's something I admire so much. And his talent is so unique that he can afford to put the spotlight on others without diminishing his own bright aura! Love this guy... I can only imagine the fun and friendship of the Brighton crew, rehearsing and creating together and developing all their fantastic abilities, from singing, to instrumental, to film-making, to styling and every other creative skill! They blow me away, they really do. x

    Chinchilla is going independent because of the type of arrangements that pushed her into a contract that was not pretty. She's grateful for all the popularity that Ren is getting because it is giving her a blow up on her channel also.

    Even the music that's "not my gig" on a normal basis ... I'm not a rap kind of girl ... but I still love Ren's stuff. I got up this morning humming "The Hunger." I am 61 and my husband is 72 and he HATES rap, unsurprisingly. Well, we got our headphone connections mixed up the other day while we were in different parts of the house and suddenly he hijacked my sound. I was listening to The Hunger and my husband texted me and said, "Are you listening to that shit?!" And I said, "Yep, I am. I sure am. It's Ren." 😂
    And Chinchilla's my girl! ❤
    So what if there are a few things you don't resonate with? As Ren said in a short, if everyone loves what you're doing, you're probably too vanilla.
    There are zero of my other favorite artists whose albums I will listen to from beginning to end without skipping a song here and there. But some of the ones I skip are someone else's favorites. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Just go in knowing that even if you don't like a specific song, there are 100 others you love. 😉

    Whether or not intentional, this song has a hauntingly beautiful duality. It could be the perspective of leading up to the act Ren talks about in the last couple lines, or the last couple lines could recontextualize the song as to be about the perspective of grief in the aftermath. Ren's friend Joe lost that fight. His songs "Freckled Angles" and the back half of his song "Suicide" are about Joe as well.

    The bit at the start is exactly how I feel with Ren, every time he has a new song out I get nervous in case I don't like it and then it is relief when I hear it, the standard is set so high that it seems impossible to always deliver, but I've never heard any song from him that I didn't like, can't say that about many artists or bands, I can't even think of anyone else where I have liked EVERY song from them.

  • @Aurora-cv5to

    Loved your reaction. There is something about the soaring harmonies here... it electrifies me. Art matters. Few people competing in the various art fields are artists, they are gifted contractors. As you said, they manufacture moments. It's rare for great actors to also be great musicians, and Ren and Chinchilla could both rise to the top in either field. Ren, on the other hand, is also an impressive poet, and a great story-teller, and for me, that combination is unprecedented.

  • @MissMeKate

    This one is haunting and beautiful. It is a travesty that it hasn't been recognised with multiple awards.
    Ren's new song (begins with an S, you'll know the one) is about the same friend. The description of that song (or pinned comment) tells Joe's story. Ren's song Freckled Angels was written just after Joe died. I believe he sang it at Joe's memorial. There wasn't a traditional funeral as they never found Joe's body.
    If you want another of Ren's "rising tide" artists, Sam Tompkins' new song Time Will Fly features old clips of him busking with Ren.
    Sam tells the story of them meeting as Ren being on his way home and spotting a 15/16 yr old Sam singing with no mic etc. Ren stopped and offered him his equipment, and sat on the floor and played for him, to show Sam how many more people would stop if he did it all properly. Ren said Sam could keep all their takings.
    Now Sam has been on stage with Justin Bieber and is blowing up too. ❤

    I love this because your reaction to this song is so musically technical but also you are so so emotionally authentic. In the last couple months I have gone thru all of Rens catalog (along with a million other folks I would say) and it’s scary bro, if you do a ren song every week till Christmas you won’t be disappointed, from his last release - Suicide (made me cry) to way back.

    Absolutely agree with you about ‘the vibe’. Their singing is fantastic but also the visual fantastically compliments that. For instance, in the section where they take the hum and build it up to an explosion, if you watch their faces, it accents the explosion. Not only that, their faces prepare you to anticipate it which makes you feel it as even more explosive.

    Thank you!!! This has been one of my favorite tracks since I discovered Ren this past January, and I could never put my finger on what makes them singing together so good in this song, even in Chalk Outlines. I used to do a little studio engineering many moons ago, and even though it's live, I know a touch of reverb is used or a bit of this and that are tweaked for the final release, but I knew it wasn't anything like that.
    You nailed it with your explanation of "harmonizing" with other singers, compared to singing on your own, kind of like riding a motorcycle by yourself as opposed to with a passenger where you both have to lean into turns at the same time, etc.... It was almost like they each recorded them doing the song on their own and someone combined them in post, except they didn't, they did it real time. So simple yet brilliant, Cheers mate!! Great reaction too, just subbed!!

    Just wait till you get into Ren's band "The Big Push" and their live outdoor busking videos. They're absolutely amazing musicians and their covers are insane.
    BUT if you do react to them make sure you get the videos from "The Big Push" UA-cam Page because they have the better live busking videos than the ones in Ren's page. So you DEFINITELY should react to their mash up cover of Bob Marley's "I Shot The Sheriff/Road to Zion /Hip Hop" and you'll know that it is the right video because Ren is wearing a wife beater and red suspenders. They also do amazing cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" that's from the same live outdoor busking show (little secret, it also is a mash up in a way and people who aren't fans of Black Sabbath and ozzy don't pick up on the changes they do during the song)
    And another absolutely bananas cover from that same show is their cover of The Rolling Stones "Paint It Black" with Ren playing bass (I'm a bass player I'm a thrash, hardcore, metal band and I'm so damn jealous of his level of skill haha) So Ren plays bass on that song and Gorran their bass playing is on guitar and singing.
    But if you really want to see Wren make all of us bass players look stupid go watch their live busking cover of "Wade in the Water/ Nina Simone Trouble so High" it's from a different day than the last 3 I did you about but man Ren plays the bass on that song like a damn lead guitar. Solos left and right.
    But what really trips me out about all of their live outdoor busting videos is that they're playing through little Roland Cube speaker and besides their guitar and bass pedals that's it and they sound absolutely ridiculous it's so good.

    Another great reaction. I know you worry you will find something you won’t like but honestly every song in his catalogue is great. From his album freckled angels to performances live with the big push or Sam.
    Keep the journey up it’s absolutely worth it.

    You should really try Praise You, Ren and his 2 band members cover of the Fat Boy Slim song.. their band is called The Big Push.. you can’t go wrong with any of their covers or original music.. they do a mean cover of Englishman in New York.. and many others… for an original you can try It’s Alright.. you might also enjoy Ren and Sam Tompkins busking of Earned it/ Mans world / Falling.. and then you have another rabbit hole in Sam 😋😁 (you will understand when you hear him sing)

    This entire song except the last line was written from the perspective of one of his best friends Joe who committed suicid...
    "Talking to the dead; voices in my head. Fear and Sin follow me over the hill and valleys below; back home, and it suffocates me... I wish I could move get up and walk out of this tomb (the tomb here is Joe's mind)."

    I have been avoiding listening to this song for exactly the same apprehension you voiced in your intro - this was definitely the right reaction for my intro! This was captivating - and the way they were so in sync is masterful. I’m just in awe of how their brains and their talents work.

  • @badm0t0rf1nger

    The fact that Ren made it thru the calamitous health issues & misdiagnoses bullsh!t he did.... well, I reckon those years seared into his psyche what's *really* important in life, stripping away any temptations of doing anything that's not 100% genuine while he's creating. Tough path to gaining creative superpowers, but good God does he have them!
    I obviously hope, on a basic human compassion level, that Daisy hasn't had to go thru years of horrific pain to get to where she is.... but she drips integrity doing her thing too. It's a different thing- she chooses the nails, & creates outfits for performances & videos etc, crafting a personality which she slips into for her music. Ren *lives it* 24/7 - you can easily picture him in any situation just grab a guitar & something comes pouring out of him. Whereas the lovely, quiet, unassuming, Daisy decides when & where Chinchilla materialises to do her thing. When Daisy lets Chinchilla out to play tho, she & Ren 100% *get it* & work super well together. :)
    p.s. I'm totally with you, in that I also tend to soak up the *feeling* in a piece of music initially, only going back thru subsequent listens to pay attention to lyrics *if* the feel of the thing warrants investing time into getting to know it fully. Hey, I'm a massive Soundgarden fan, so even if the lyrical content is not top-tier poetry with devastatingly insightful commentary etc, I'll happily overlook that if the *feel* of the music hits right! ;)

    There is a recording of Ren singing this alone in his bedroom, in which he breaks down before singing the final verse. He explains about Joe during that recording.
    Joe permeates through everything Ren writes, even in light hearted moments Joe is present through references such as to the Swanton Bomb: a moment from their childhood.
    For me this songs is the duet of our time.

    "Every god damn time!" - loved it 😄. I can say the same about your reaction. What a great one. You said so many great things in that I won't even start listing them. Again a perfect mix of brainy and emotional. It was great hearing your anxious introduction knowing the song, because we knew from the start that you will love it. I feel "earnest" is the prefect word.
    Now, to the story. This is a song about Joe Hughes, Ren's closest and dearest friend from childhood onwards, who "lost the fight". It is actually the second song about him after "Freckled Angels", the title track of Ren's first album (which was dedicated to Joe).
    The third one, "Su!cide" just dropped two weeks ago and it, in a way, tells the story in more detail... and hits really hard. The title itself should be a commercial suicide on YT, as it got all possible warnings and limitations... but Ren stands in defiance at > 1 million views after 2 weeks.
    You really should read Ren's community post from 3 weeks ago here on YT (the exact date is not provided by YT, but you will easily find it by a photo of young Ren with Joe. It tells the whole story.

    Having watched most of Ren's music on UA-cam, I'd like to put your fears to rest. Some if his music is brilliant, some is just catchy and fun. But, none will disappoint. He seems to be just as advertised.

    The algorithm just brought you into my feed and I loved your reaction! Just got a sub from me ❤
    Their chemistry is off the charts. I’m looking forward you checking out The Big Push.
    I’m the same as your friend, I know so many lyrics off by heart and when I got into rap a couple of years ago I learnt them too! Got practicing and I can do some pretty fast flows now, love it 😂
    P.S. Spoiler alert: Ren is human, but he’s a super special human and an incredible musician. You have so much left to enjoy and appreciate. Enjoy the ride ❤

  • @robertobata4338
    @robertobata4338 5 місяців тому +1

    I loved your reaction. And your earnestness/authenticity.
    This is my take, and only my take, on his lyrics. I believe Ren is channeling the fear and isolation his friend may have been feeling right up to his suicide.
    fear baptized me / sad eyes blind me
    over and over we go /over the hills and the valleys below
    oh and it [hopelessness] follows me, follows me home / and it suffocates me [drowning]
    oh I can't breathe [gasping] / i said oh i can't breathe
    all I know is I forgot how to be me
    breathe so loudly / sins surround me
    I really like the structure of the song. The music and the performance of the music are in brilliant service of the lyrics.
    Ren's voice is his friend Joe.
    Chinchiila's voice is so affirming that she might be giving Ren / Joe permission to let go.
    How's that for ambiguity.

    Regarding your initial thoughts, I think the "buck stopped" with Animal Flow. Probably the most mixed reviews I've seen of a Ren song.
    If you go back through his older stuff, I don't think there is going to be a drop. Crutch is amazing and I keep hearing Freckled Angels album is incredible and that was years ago. So....idk. Maybe in a couple decades? Lol
    Also love the reaction brother!

    • @ancltube
      @ancltube 11 місяців тому +2

      Unfortunately the myth about the location is not true. It is most likely shot on a balcony/rooftop in Brighton.
      Totally agree on the rest of you comment though. The story about how Ren's friend Joe Hughes jumped from the Menai Bridge in December 2010, and how Ren was the first on site but a little bit to late is painfully sad.
