This was filmed live and in 1 take. Makes it more triumphant when he stands up once you know he was bed ridden for literally years with misdiagnosed Lyme disease. Doctors said the pain was all in his head. Diagnosed him with psychosis etc. Ren x Chinchilla - Chalk outlines (LIVE) is absolutely stunning and showcases his singing voice. Gets me every time. The tale of Jenny and screech FULL for masterful Shakespearean storytelling
Audio may have been one take, video is not though. Samuel Perry-Falvey who filmed it, clarifies that in the comment of Jonathan Hiller's (Filmmaker Reacts) reaction to Hi Ren.
@@tomlester8681 Not quite. It's impossible to get both the fixed and handheld shots done in a single take. Each of the two takes used for the finished video were, themselves, single, making the video a 2fer.
"my music's been connecting... it gives me a purpose to rest in." - Ren thats my favorite line.. it resonates with me personally very deep. ren is goated for this. #LoveOverEverything
I like how you acknowledge that shadow-Ren has a practical purpose. They are two sides of the same coin and their interaction is an eternal dance. I think this is a video about Ren integrating his shadow and at the end they dance together. The human condition.
As you go deeper into the Ren catalogue, I don’t think you get songs like The Hunger and Losing it without Shadow Ren. As much as you want to hate shadow Ren, there’s a kernel of truth in him AND he’s compelling…funny, energetic, confident, charming…things we all need to be sometimes.
Thank you for the reaction! And thanks for the shout out! ❤ Your reaction was everything I hoped for! ❤ Ren has been dealing with mental and physical health issues for years, which is why his music feels so raw and genuine. Thanks again and again!! (For future consideration, his songs "Sick Boi", "The Hunger", and "Genesis" have the bars. But some of my personal favorite songs showing his vocal capabilities are his cover of "I Shot The Sheriff", his songs feat. Chinchilla "Chalk Outlines" and "How To Be Me". All 3 have a live version! You cant really go wrong when choosing a song to react to when it comes to Ren.)
Great reaction - you got it! Thanks for helping to spread the word. This needs to be heard by so many more people. Ren has a huge back catalogue, some heavy, some just fun - all different but all really, really good. Welcome to the rabbit hole! :)
Almost all of his stuff is one shot start to finish, mistakes are left in. it gives it it's raw edge. I love it myself. This was the 4th take on the day. I think I read somewhere. He is the real deal. He does what he wants. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't but he is taking the ball a bit further up the field I think. Great reaction. you seem to be a thoughtful gadge. I'll give you a subscribe for a while see where we end up. I feel sure you will appreciate Ren if you choose to do a dive into his stuff.
In Hi Ren, audio may have been one take, video is not though. Samuel Perry-Falvey who filmed it, clarifies that in the comment of Jonathan Hiller's (Filmmaker Reacts) reaction to Hi Ren. Doesn't take anything away from it.
I tell you honestly I have listened to about three hundred reactions to this performance so far and yours has been for me the most perceptive right from the beginning when you said you felt you were there in the room with him, it was personal. You had my attention all the way through ( which is quite rare) I thought you would make a great teacher as you are a great listener. I haven't started on rent other songs yet, almost scared to! How can he get better than this, but I will and I hope you do to. Thankyou.
Nice reaction to this GENIUS of an authentic & true artist. Reacters are gaining lots of mileage out of Ren's content & it would be fantastic for him if you all start VERBALLY encouraging your followers to subscribe to his channel 🤔 It's disappointing to see Hi Ren, alone, has been viewed approximately 8m times but he hasn't even reached 1m subscribers yet. Come on! Let's help him! Cheers 👍🍻
"It's taking you on a ride lke a roller coaster". Like a "pendulum", perhaps? The start of the song, the pendulum was not swinging very hard. So, the discussion was light and easy. By the end, the darkness is wicked intense, but the light is so much brighter and calmer. A big swinging from dark to light... like a pendulum.
damn, this was a great reaction. your commentary was 👌🏼!! Seriously, are you possibly a therapist? English/literature teacher? You really put so much thought into your responses. Very impressed with this break down.
😇 Thanks Cheryl. I'm just a guy who studies a lot about the world. I enjoy diving deeper than most people. I appreciate the compliment 😌. Thank you so much for watching ❤️🔥
Javier Javier! Been forever since I've said hello ❤️ Hello here for you and #Ren always. Been a F'd up March for me mom passed on the 1st. Hope all is well with you on your end ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm also sorry for seeing this so late. I hope you're holding up OK. I'm doing my best to keep things going on my end. Good to see you. I hope life is getting a little bit easier for you everyday. My best wishes for you and your loved ones.
Another thing... he makes his own beats, mixes and films all his own stuff! Usually... you'll notice they're shot in One Shot!!! Like the Jenny and Screech trilogy and this... one shot, recorded live... No autotune or effects!
Your comment about them "being independent but unable to stand alone" was perfect. That was rens message exactly. That angel and demons and gods have the privilege of being one or the other. But human beings are a conglomeration of the two. So the idea isn't to become one or the other and go to war against the other the idea is to realize that you are both and that the pendulum will swing and sway and that is the dance called life and free will
Hiya Javier, yours has been probably the best reaction to this song I've watched, Ren has loads of other stuff to watch i highly recommend you give it a go I'm sure you will be pleasantly supprised.
OMG! Constantine with a young John Wick..lol, that is one of my favorite movies, good call!! I think I saw someone mention below, but just in case, this was done live in a one take shot. His catalogue is too varied and so good, and I'm sure you got a ton of suggestions already, that I'm not going suggest any song, I'm just gonna tell you the three categories. First off when you start checking them out you'll soon realize there's not much this kid can't do, guitar wise and singing, we're talking rap/hip-hop, soul, pop, blues, folk, rock, you name it, Ren does it and does it well. Ok Ren has been grinding since before he got sick, and had a deal with Sony, but they backed out when he got ill. So he's got a lot of stuff out of him as a solo artist, which is most often this type of introspective, meaningful and artful type songs, or either pure hip-hop. Then he's got a ton of stuff with, I believe one of his best friends, Sam Tompkins, who is an amazing vocalist, and you'll see a lot of videos of the two of them busking (Busker - U.K. slang for street musician playing for money) around the streets of Brighton England, they tend to cover blues, or R&B type songs, and have an original song out called "Blind Eye". Then there is his band, well not "his" band, but a band he's in called "The Big Push" There's popular songs of them on youtube busking too, and some other live performances. They do mostly covers from what I've seen, really good mashups of covers, and the other members are phenomenal musicians in their own right. So hopefully that will help you pick your flavor of Ren's music you want to check out, great reaction BTW, really like your synopsis and take on the song! Cheers! ✌️💚
🥰🥰🥰 Thanks Sunshyn ❤️🔥. I'll definitely be doing more. Your comment really got me excited to see what he can do. I hope he keeps seeing more success. It sucks he missed out on his deal, but it seems like he's making the best of it. I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction. Much love to you!!!!
I can't imagine listening to an interesting piece of music for the first time, and pausing every fifteen seconds to analyze it to death. Do people actually listen to music this way nowadays? I find it incomprehensible.
Bro... buckle up buddy!!! Rens catalog is insane!!! Feom hard Rap (Hunger!) To this... to storytelling (Jenny and screech trilogy [make sure it's the FULL version!]) To spoken word Rap Ocean, Humble, Crucify your Culture, to EMD Rap Losing it!!! Also... His Band The Big Push... I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop version... Unreal busking on the streets! Outta 10 songs, No two are alike!
Love the reaction but you really should do money game 1 2 and 3, also the three part song called a tale of jenny and screech and a tale of violet (there is a video on youtube that has all 3), and another one is murderer. Now there are many other ones but they are quite different like hours street performances and his duets. Honestly there is aa bunch good by him but some that I don't care much about either. Do your thing with all that said lol.
This was filmed live and in 1 take. Makes it more triumphant when he stands up once you know he was bed ridden for literally years with misdiagnosed Lyme disease. Doctors said the pain was all in his head. Diagnosed him with psychosis etc.
Ren x Chinchilla - Chalk outlines (LIVE) is absolutely stunning and showcases his singing voice. Gets me every time.

Yep. Currently in Canada getting treatment. Chalk outlines live is still my favorite as well, along with crutch.

@@hmo_mackey The video is one take, too. Just multiple cameras.
@@tomlester8681 Not quite. It's impossible to get both the fixed and handheld shots done in a single take. Each of the two takes used for the finished video were, themselves, single, making the video a 2fer.
This is a Masterpiece!! Emotional storytelling. You will pleasantly surprised Javier. This guy is different. Here for it!!🙌🙏
As I'm watching this, it says it was uploaded 20hrs ago, yet your comment, & your comment alone, is from 3 days ago. 🤔
Great reaction to this wonderful performance.
Thanks Max. I'm sure more will come. So make sure you hit the bell ❤️🔥

😄 Thanks Analisa. The rabbit hole is where I'm most comfortable. Much love to you ❤️
There is a rabbit hole here. Turn right at the next junction 😮
😆 Sure will. Lol
Seriously good reaction 👌
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 Thanks Trevor! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Easy 150 Hi Ren reactions later and all I can say is: Great job! I enjoyed that thoroughly!😅
💪🏾❤️🔥 Glad you enjoyed it Henry. Thank you so much for watching. More to come, so hit the bell if you haven't.
Ren❤❤❤❤

😇 Thank you Susan. That means a lot. I truly do try. I hope you enjoy your journey with Ren. 💗
Ren broke me on this song! I'm not depressed or suffer from mental illness but this some hurts!
💯💯💯 I feel you there!!! ❤️🔥

I got you Steve. My apologies 😇. Thanks for watching!!! Cheers 🍻
Keep going Steve - you're doing a good thing :)

Good observations! About the dark side could also be a warning. But it is such a profound message. Ren is so talented and I am so impressed.
Another thing... he makes his own beats, mixes and films all his own stuff! Usually... you'll notice they're shot in One Shot!!! Like the Jenny and Screech trilogy and this... one shot, recorded live... No autotune or effects!

Ocean, Hunger, Genesis, Power, and Losing it... in that order to see Rens work!
I saw that movie Constantine. Yes. I know what you mean in your comment about it. The one with Keanu Reeves! Great movie.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
"The coln with two different sides" - is the darkness getting one more word in. That's why his voice gets shaky there.
I felt every syllable!!!! ❤️🔥 thanks for watching Tom
I always thought chop suey would make a great Constantine video. "self righteous suicide" "angels deserve to die"
