How to be me live featuring chinchilla, I always took it as his second homage to his friend Joe and I believe it was filmed on the bridge where Joe took his life which just adds another layer to the performance. Edit: I have been corrected, lots of stories in the Ren rabbit hole that get repeated a lot that aren't true.need more than a podcast on Ren need an entire documentary series
Fire 🔥 by ren
Or blinded eye...by ren and sam😊
Chinchilla's song Fingers, the live version for Hunger TV, is spectacular. Her voice is amazing. And her other duet with Ren, How To Be Me, is also exceptional.
I'm currently listening to Bongo Bong more than my other favorites.
One of the hardest lines... 'scared of being okay, cause all things change' hits deep and hard
Yeah. Such a simple line in a sense. No clever metaphors or big words. But it’s so damn real. Simple truths can hurt the most.
i had to pause it after that one the first time i heard it
Idk in the gallows balanced on my toes so I can breathe is such an amazing description of struggling with issues of all kinds
Yeah, that line crushed me and I missed a bunch after that. it took a few listens to get through that line. I've been the way I am for many decades, if I fix myself then who am I. Knox nailed it, again.
Understand the line about going to bed and waking. It's a really simple song with few lyrics but it's like a chihuahua acting like a Rottweiler and it works great. I love this track
Knox, if you love this track then you also need to check out another live, one take track with Ren and Chinchilla called ‘how to be me’.
You should also consider checking out a couple of her solo tracks, namely ‘Fingers’, the live version, and ‘Little Girl Gone’, her latest track.
This girl can sing sing, and she is criminally underrated.
She’s an absolute star!!
She also makes her own clothes,does the art work for her video's etc. her whole "Awakening" EP is amazing
I agree!!!!!
I 2nd that
Couldn’t agree more with your 3 tracks, and in that specific order. But definitely both ‘How to be me’, and ‘Fingers’ in their live versions. And oh my, her new song ‘Little Girl Gone’. She’s one hell of a talented powerhouse!
I get goosebumps every time I listen to this song
I loved your reaction to Ren & Chinchilla, they are awesome together, I have watched that video of them so many times, I am in awe of Ren, he is a genius. Ren and Chinchilla’s voices blend together so beautifully. Both are amazing vocalists. I may be in my 70’s but I still can see and hear the Artist and totally enjoy their poetry. This song has a powerful message Big Pharma is harming everyone with their chemicals.
My fav reactor reacting to my fav artist…..You and Ren are two peas in the pod. Much Love!
Mushy
Agreed...he and Cliff Beats my guys
My thoughts exactly x
Amazing how you give Ren the respect he deserves noticing all these little details he hides in his lyrics, these songs hit hard and he is a spectacular story teller.
I agree! Well said❤
Knox and Ren is a brilliant combination, both on same wavelength, the interview was mint.
Ren X Chinchilla How To Be Me (Live) next!!
I suffer from severe depression and loneliness for more than 3 decades, i know that emptiness inside.
So when i first heard Hi Ren months ago, it already was like a punch to the stomach. But chalk outlines really hits home.
I find myself in so many of the lines. Scared of feeling OK cause all things change. I can´t even remember the last time i felt ok.
Have taken Sertralin and many other antidepressants in the past, know what these do to the body and the mind, especially the side effects.
And their voices together always give me goosebumps, every single time. A very powerful, emotional, intense experience, this song.
Great reaction once again Knox, you find so many things in Ren`s lyrics that i tend to miss, cause my mother language isn´t english, i am German.
Ich möchte nur sagen, dass du geliebt wirst.
Entschuldigung, wenn mein Deutsch schlect ist.
You will be OK bud
Hope you're still going strong and doing well, similar history, but I'm from New Zealand, another Ren song gave me an interesting insight into depression, that our minds get stuck in a negative feedback loop, we just need to find a new habit/something to distract us to break the cycle. Hope you are well, Kia Kaha (stay strong)
"Wolverine with a voice of an angel". What a description! Check out her song "Fingers" - the live version!
I feel like I have watched so many of Knox's Ren reactions so I was amazed when I saw he hadn't covered this yet. I think because Knoxy goes soooo in depth it feels like I have watched more than I have.
Love ya brother, never stop doing what you are doing. Even on this song you bought new meaning.
Peace & love
I also was surprised this was one he hadn't gotten to yet!
But glad he did!
Bad ass song 🔥🔥🔥🔥
No autotune. No bullshit. Just raw emotion. Man, I have no other words.
Ren is my new favorite. It’s not my typical style of music but finally someone tells the story of us with chronic illnesses.
Big pharma and the medical community all fails us at least at one point. We either get misdiagnosed, dismissed or told it’s all in our head more than once in our cries for help.
The desperation we can feel for relief along with the mental health issues of grieving our former selves. People don’t understand the medical trauma so many of us go through. Often there’s a feeling of being trapped. Trapped in our own failing bodies and a dark cell of our mind with the pills we are told to wash down.
So well done.
Yep. Fellow chronic illness sufferer here, couldn't even get out of bed today the fatigue is crushing me
❤️
The line about being in gallows chokes me up every time. It’s so true for so many people
I see what you did there.
Thank you for reacting to my 2 favorite artists 🙏
Please, take a look at Chinchilla's solo material too. She is dope!!
I sugest: "Fingers (Live Hunger Tv)" , "Little Girl Gone " and "Elements (lyrics video)".
You won't regret it...😉
13:00 I think the lyric has more to do with being scarred to feel good because you know it won't last and it's just going to hurt more when that happens. It's easy to get used to depression if you been in it for awhile, but having a good day and then getting smacked with it again is a pain no one gets used to.
we all know about Ren, lets take a moment to applaud the beautiful voice of Chinchila
👀 Knox 👀- love how your eyes always look around when there’s sounds coming to your ears from different directions. Great job on the reaction AND the interview with Ren. 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼
Thank you for continuing to feature Ren on your channel. I love this song, the melody and the lyrics are hauntingly beautiful. The voices of Ren and Chinchilla are incredible together, and their performance chemistry is insane. It brings a tear to my eye every time I listen to this, or their duet on "How to Be Me".
Knowing how much you enjoy finding all the hidden gems in every performance, you are going to LOVE Chinchilla's live performance of Fingers. And her recent release Little Girl Gone doesn't just showcase her voice but also her talent as a producer. Tbh i feel envious of anyone experiencing her for the first time. She's an independent artist like Ren, and has such skill and control in her vocal performances that it's breathtaking. And not to mention her frikken *range* 😎
This song is so raw and definitely hits me in the feels 😕
The line you missed a couple of times was I’m scared of being OK… That hit me me right in the feels.
That’s something that I and others have felt. Who am I without this depression in my case, or without this pain, this anxiety etc. it becomes unthinkable, the idea of it no longer being there. I mean literally unthinkable, I couldn’t even imagine it.
It’s probably at least partly the unknown, and the unknown is scary.
Mental illness is not a good thing to be going through, but it’s familiar, a known quantity, and even seeking help is harder than you would think.
That you didn’t catch it probably just means you’re healthy.
He didn't miss it though, He even stopped and commented on that stanza
definitely check out more of chinchilla's music, she's so good and very unique: my personal favourite is "fingers", but all of her stuff is great, I really recommend it!
I love her omg this gunna pop off
Goated song...the 2 of them together is a cheat code
I'm glad you are reacting to these Ren x Chinchilla tracks. I don't know if you planned it this way, but It kinda works out that you waited until after your interview with Ren and learning more about his history. Their other track, How to be Me, is going to hit even harder. That one is emotional enough without knowing the backstory, but now that you know more about Joe Hughes and how much he meant to Ren it's going to mean a lot more.
This is one of my favorite songs by him
Love this one.. Chinchilla got lungs bruv... check out her latest "good girl gone" bangin' tune mate!
Loved the interview 😊 you are going to love Chinchilla ❤
Another great reaction Knox. You do realise that you've opened up another Ren wormhole here don't you?
There are so many other Ren related tracks with his band The Big Push, his collabs with Chinchilla, Eden Nash, Bibi, Molly McKinna, Sam Tompkins, Orlean, Liv Sangster etc.
Test the water with these. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Chinchilla its another amazing artist, a new world to dive in,wellcome knox!!!
Loving your reviews and the interview with Ren was great. He really respects your insights.👍🏼
Awesome, thank you! You know, I love Ren the rapper, I really do... but his duets with Chinchilla (wait till you hear "How to be me (Live)" OMG) and Eden Nash ("Humble" and "Ocean") are still my absolute faves.
Thisssss especially the eden nash songs. How to be me I prefer studio version
I think what you're hearing as post-production reverb is actually the combined reverb from both directions of hall. It's a truly magnificent natural reverb, which you hear across the vocals throughout.
So glad u found Chinchilla through Ren. Their other duet 'How to be me' is heartbreaking. Chinchilla's song 'Fingers live' is an amazing performance worthy of a reaction too . Thnx ❤🇬🇧
So glad you're finally reacting to this!
Chinchilla's live version of Fingers is soooo good, def check that out! Not just for her voice but also for her theatrics (if that's the right word).
I've heard this song soooo many times it's so interesting that you hear something different and point it out.
The "take it just in case" line; I've always taken "it" to mean the perfect day - a semblance of hope. But "it" as the pill works just as well, i bet Ren used "it" knowing it could be taken either way. Fascinating. Thank you.
Check out How to be me by the same awesome duet. Enjoyed the interview with Ren and keep doing your thing dude it's working well.
Yesssss - how to be me
and Ren and his Band The big Push!
Love your Reaction 🤝👏👍
Two Ren suggestions please 🙏🏽 1) Ren and Bibi Lea-Ding, his girlfriend at the time, singing Crutch (2016) - Ren's post on the video explains more - ua-cam.com/video/3gC2kq6E5Mo/v-deo.html - 2) Ren X Chinchilla singing How to be Me - heart-breaking yet tragically beautiful - ua-cam.com/video/SDR7sup3DsU/v-deo.html - Ren wrote this after his friend, Joe Hughes, committed suicide, at the age of just 19 (by jumping off the Menai bridge at around 3.00 a.m. on 28 December 2010 - his body has never been recovered). ☮️❤️Sea Point, Cape Town
Knox I don't think you've touched his band the Big Push yet. Gotta check out them doing "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop." There's some other versions but please do the one with this exact title. It's absolutely fantastic!🎉❤
Finally someone acknowledges that sound in the hallway at the beginning! Every time I've watched a reaction, I've hoped someone would mention it because it feels like such an important piece that brings you into the song. Awesome reaction as always!
By far, this has to be the most intelligent and sympathetic breakdown of Chalk Outlines to date and by a million miles. Knox and Ren are both a credit to their generation.
You need to do “How to be Me” by Ren and Chinchilla as well. The live performance is insane. So good.
I was squeaking even before I turned this on. I have been waiting for you to do this song and you did not disappoint. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ you’ve gotta do “How to Be Me.” The live version not the lyric video. There is so much rawness and power to their live videos. And Chinchilla’s “Little Girl Gone”. You will love it. There is another one you must must do. “Patience” by Ren. ua-cam.com/video/284ugnS_ruQ/v-deo.html
This is my favourite of REN’s songs. The line “take it just in case” hits me so hard. The performance and vocals in this live version bring me to tears. And your breakdown and reaction was excellent 👏👏
I love your recent timing, i open YT and POP! Knox uploaded 1min ago
I usually head to you for your Tom MacDonald reactions, so happy to see you react to Ren.. recently found him and totally blown away x
Chinchilla is absolutely amazing, her voice is incomparable, just like ren was a hidden gem I recently found, she is as well. Her catalog is my new playlist, Her new song Little Girl Gone is my favorite, definitely my summer song xo
Oooh, I've been so eager for you to get to some of Ren's collaborations!
I'm a little late in viewing this so I'm sure it' been said several times already, but the obvious next reaction should be Ren & Chinchilla's live version of "How to be me". Just as powerful as this one, just as beautifully harmonic. Ren calls Chinchilla his "musical sister", these 2 videos illustrate exactly why. They sinc so hauntingly well together, it's truly beautiful artistry.
This song hits so hard, can't just listen it's a must watch type of performance. The eye contact is everything for me amidst the lyrics and the echos, Chinchilla comes in like a ghost through the walls
ooooohhh - "like a ghost through the walls" - well said.
My first vid since subscribing! LOVE your brain 🧠 You breakdown the music by peeling back the layers until it becomes completely transparent.... like i can see each word, note, sound, etc ... separately in my mind... it's incredible. Thank you. ✌️🖤
AGREED!!! KNOX IS THE BEST REACTOR BY FAR!
@Knoxhill this was a masterpiece. Powerful is not a word to fully describe it. I heard this yesterday and after about a dozen playthroughs I am still amazed. The haughty melodies, raw emotion, and blend of their voices lend so much depth to this story. Both artists are so very talented. Troubadour is not a word I use to describe very many artist today, but these two are a perfect example. They make you thirst for the music, breathe the lyrics, and feel the emotion. Like a lovers caress the song flows over and through you leaving you sated and hungering for more.
Love the reaction brother.
I love Ren and Chinchilla individually. Both extremely talented artists on their own.
But when they collab...it's just pure magic!
🔥
💰
You should go down a little chinchilla rabbit hole, her vocal range is just insane.
Finally! I've been waiting for you to do this one! Lol ❤❤❤
Next you need to do "How to be me" Ren x Chinchilla live
Yeah man this song is just so beautiful. It is probably one of the more pop-friendly Ren tracks yet it doesn’t feel like a manufactured hit. It’s so raw and powerful. I hope everyone gets to hear this real soon
Knox you are the tops…
How is this song not dominating every streaming service. Its the perfect combination of deep masterfull songcraft, pristine production,and incredible vocals.
Never been this early dang
Me either!
I’m not used to hearing intelligent commentary, but your takes on different aspects of music actually get me going back to really hear the lyrics.
This was a great analysis of Chalk Outlines. I’m currently switching antidepressants and am really struggling mentally. I don’t feel like myself at all. ‘It’s a beautiful day, take it just in case. I’m scared of being ok coz all things change’ is so accurate. Love this reaction. Knox Hill, you are maddfishy certified!
Another great reaction to Ren.. and happy you finally got round to this one. The emotion in this song and the chemistry between them always blows me away.
Thank you Knox for all the love you show Ren and I loved the interview with him
Had a crazy idea the other day about how much love the reaction community gives Ren and how much he loves it himself.. be amazing if there was a way for Ren to do a song collaborating with all the reactors who are artists (rappers, singers, musicians) am sure it would be impossible to achieve but think it would be amazing
I can't believe this was the first time you heard of Chinchilla! Watch Little Girl Gone, her breaking away from her label statement. Also Fingers Live will show her vocal ability..
How to be Me is another colab with Chinchilla that shows the magic of their voices together.
As always, a great reaction! You and Ren really are like brothers!! 😁I think you would love How To Be Me (the live version) - also with Chinchilla.
Setraline is the Generic for Zoloft - I love how CLEAN and RAW this is... the whole performance except the guitar was captured with the one Lavalier mic you see on Ren's right collar... i think Thats why you hear the Gain lift when Chinchilla drops her first couple lines because she's a few feet away... my ears arent as crisp as they once were, but im not sure if all that meety warmth was added in post is that all concrete hallway in just That georgously reverberant??? - Love your Vid's man... Keep em commin!!!
I love the fact that you can hear her nails go through her hair on the mic
Ren is absolutely amazing. His voice made me tear up at thr beginning
Knox, man, I must say you are so on point with your analysis. English is my second language and I'm so grateful to you that you break down a bit - Ren's songs in particular. Ever since I heard Hi Ren I've been fascinated with this artist, but he is a wordsmith on a very advanced level, a little too advanced for me. So even if I've been vibing with him and feeling him on an intuitive level (since that what great artists do), a lot of the nuances in his lyrics elude me. Anyway, just wanted to thank you for your work.
Love your perspective on the lyrics, I always saw “such a perfect day take it just in case” as take the perfect day cuz you don’t know if you’ll be there for the next one
I reacted to this a while ago and absolutely loved it. The one thing that I thought would’ve been really cool stylistically was if at the end when the lights were flickering if Ren and chinchilla would vanish and instead there’d be chalk outlines or something.
Take it just in case because all things change. Being mentally ill, the high of hope can sometimes be deadly if and when you fall.
English is not my first language, and your lyrics break-downs help me to understand things I would have missed otherwise. Wish you all the best with the channel and your personal projects!
You need to react to Ren/ Chinchilla, HOW TO BE ME.. since your interview with REN
About his friend that commented suicide on the bridge. They Performed on that exact same bridge! So powerful! Beautiful song. Sad.
RIP Joe
Chinchilla is just as amazing as Ren! I so sooooo hope u dive into more Chinchilla also, she's 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Knoxx 🧢 the 💥 is the 👑 of Reactions.🎧🎼🎶And that is a Fact⚡️🎼🎵🎧
This song is so deep, Knox you broke it down so well! You are so talented and I love you and this channel so much.
REN is absolutely amazing ❤
Nox your a great man! thanks for sharing who you are, I get depressed and you give me hope in humanity ty mate! we all gotta keep going and your input helps! big man up!
I loved this reaction! Try How to be Me live for more of their magic x
These two together are a phenomenon. The chemistry, the harmonies and the emotion is mind-blowing 🤯 Love that you chose thisnone to react to. Great breakdown 🙌🏻
I'm surprised that you haven't done this one already. This song is incredible! I love it so much.
I love Ren and Chinchilla - and this is my favorite song. So powerful and raw and emotional. I've probably watched 50 reaction videos and you are the first person to comment on the gallows line. Thank you! I was making me crazy. It is such a powerful line and image. Your reactions are always so nuanced. Thank you.
You’re attention to detail is amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all.
I watched the entire reaction.Awesome. You may have missed that last line exactly. It changes from we “trace” ourselves , her last line is we “erase “ ourselves! Just that one word change is so important! I also think the Great Big Smile is music. I know from personal experience that I would “escape “ into my writing and music in times of heavy stress. I’m a 70 year old successful lifelong songwriter, and I can say with conviction that if this is where the future of music is going that I hope to live forever to see Ren and all of his awesome crew of artists achieve everything they deserve. A major artist told me in 1973, “Surround yourself with creative talented people and you will be the same!” Ren does exactly that. Every single artist he collabs with is awesome, and I love that all of them are mostly unknown . Not for long!!!Knock-em out Brother!! All the best from Tennessee, USA
Great reaction! Crying by the end yet again. So powerful. By the way I loved your Ren interview ✨❤️
Another great reaction/breakdown to what is a beautiful song. Please check out 'How to be me' with Chinchilla, that too is hauntingly beautiful. Thoroughly enjoyed your interview with Ren who is a remarkable young man. There are so many amazingly talented artists in the UK that the vast majority of people in the UK are unaware of (Ren having been one of them) so happy he has broke through. Thankfully, Ren knows a few of these artists and now, through him, so do we. Chinchilla, The Big Push, Eden Nash, Sam Tompkins, Bibi, etc.
This was the 2nd song I ever heard from Ren. At first I just thought it was OK, but as I started listening more and more to Ren, it truly has become one of my all time favorite songs. When I listen to it it is rare that I listen just once.
Such a beautiful yet haunting song
Ren said you're like a surgeon when it comes to dissecting his performances. He has mad respect for you.
I've been on different meds and different combinations of meds dealing with bi-polar and depression. The side effects are almost worse than the illness. I was misdiagnosed for over a decade and the meds they gave me brought on manic episodes which made me incredibly self-destructive. Every day I'm surprised I'm still here.
Dude, I found your channel through watching reactions to "Hi Ren". This is the third vid of yours (after "The Hunger" also) I've watched and I have to say, I'm absolutely blown away by your ability to analyse, as a musician, performer and artist before, and separate, to your specialist genre.
You also have an adorably quippy sense of humour. I'm so glad I got here.
You MUST watch Chinchilla's "Little Girl Gone"!
I can't wait to see the Knox x Chinchilla interview! She deserves a stage as well. Very talented and has lots to say in a beautiful and visceral way. Ren and Chinchilla are my 2 favorite artists of 2023!
I can’t believe you haven’t done this 😍👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧👍❤️
I've listened to this song probably 50 times. I've cried 50 times. I don't cry easily.
The reason i subscribed was because of your reaction to #HiRen. Your knowledge in general as well as your own exstensive music experience, as well as your brilliant personality - is why i keep coming back. The way you so clearly and expertly disseminate the lyrics or content... is sublime! Keep em coming, knox.
I have been telling you to listen to this song! Forever. And finally!!
Great reaction!! Ok- next..
Another duet- How to be me
Her- little girl gone, cold water
Ren interview was dope!! Been waiting for you to react to this one.
The most truthful song out there.if you know then you know the feeling of taking the pills and you may be physically alive but inside your dead
It’s so hard for me cuz this effects me on so many levels… I literally don’t trust anybody anymore… but it’s like they are in my brain, and that scares me even more😮 and then I cry😢
