You're starting to understand how we all see him. Don't miss out on his older stuff like "Heretic", "Children of the moon", "Ready for you" And so many more
Chinchilla is amazing in her own right! Love her music! Her nails are her armour, she only wears them when she performs and transforms from Daisy to Chinchilla as she suffers from really bad stage fright. I suggest 'How to be Me' live by them both again and if you want to check out Chinchilla on her own I suggest: Fingers live for Hunger TV, 1:5 Cut You Off Little Girl Gone (official video followed by the live which is a totally different vibe)
Their harmonies are even more impressive on their other duet "How to be me (live)". Ren refers to Chinchilla as a musical sibling and, like Ren, all she delivers is banger after banger after banger in a continuous row. Should you want to react for/to us any of her solo stuff, I would either go with "Fingers (live)" or "1:5 (live)". You're doing a.great job
The best musical “siblings”. Ren has called her his sister from another mister and a female version of himself due to their similar approach to music. For me I think it shows in the fact that they both have that something special that draws you in and demands attention. To see it fully for Chinchilla, check out her live version of Fingers. This song always reminds me that one of the (many) things that makes Ren so great is his ability to know exactly when to be complex, keep it simple, or even use silence to get his message across. He isn’t flexing his guitar skills in this, just playing exactly what is needed with that beautiful guitar tone. And my favourite line in this is so simple, totally devoid of all the clever metaphors that he is so good at using, but it hits soooo hard: “I’m scared of being okay cause all things change”. I think anyone who has been through any struggles can relate to that feeling of not trusting that anything good will last. You can’t just enjoy it because you’re busy worrying about how long it will last and the feeling that will come when it’s gone. And then good days just make the darkness feel so much worse because you remember the light that’s gone… Ren is so special. He keeps being so relatable that it reminds us that we’re not alone. And we will always make room for more RENegades down the Ren rabbit hole cause we all need his light in the darkness 🐰🕳️ If you want more emotional singing from Ren, please check out one of my personal favourites: Crutch feat. Bibi. It’s an older song from before he was finally correctly diagnosed with Lyme disease and was written after a breakdown following multiple emergency trips to the hospital. It is heart wrenching and beautiful. And very different from everything else in his catalogue.
The thing is: I've not really ran into a Ren song i didnt really like. Maybe some more than others but he never disappoints. Not since Freddie Mercury have I seen someone so willing and creativily crossed so many different genres. It's wonderful to watch him evolve.
Another one of their duets, How To Be Me (live), is one of the best vocal performances I've ever heard/seen. If you branch out into solo Chinchilla, Fingers (live for hungertv) is one of my personal favorites.
Thank you for your genuine reaction. "Chalk Outlines" touches me deeply no matter how many times I watch this video or hear this song. Ren has been able to express through his songs what I have been unsuccessfully trying to communicate to others regarding my mental, emotional, and physical struggles. The studio version is also incredible. However, in my personal opinion, it does not come close to the live version. This performance is so much more raw, emotional, and visceral, and Chinchilla's performance here elevates the song to a whole new plain. I wish the live version would be available on Spotify. Someone (Obj Owl @JoesTheBestInTheWorl) shared his interpretation, I think fittingly so, “The sound of the folding chair opening up fills the empty space with echoes emanating from the walls and then diminishes. Ren uses this to compose the song, with Chalk Outlines representing the empty space that he feels within. Chinchilla, who also emerges from the walls and echos Ren throughout and suitably for an echo, has the last word, leaving a dark empty space. It's dark on the gallows.” Given Ren's medical history, I interpret this song to address mental illness diagnoses, and prescription psychotropics, which leave you emotionally dead (hence, the chalk outlines around your dead self). Even on a relatively good day when you might not want to take your pills, you take them "just in case," and you never truly enjoy "being ok because all things change," i.e., your well-being is usually short-lived and followed by another bout with depression. In her opening line, Chinchilla even mentions the antidepressant (SSRI) "Sertraline" and references serotonin. I can attest to the reality of this; for over 15 years, I was prescribed a cocktail of max doses of psychotropics, including Sertraline, until I decided to carefully wean myself off all medications in 2014. The side effects of the drugs were too many and too severe; they left me an emotional zombie, while the benefits were negligible. I lost all capacity to feel love, compassion, or empathy while feelings of anger, and rage remained and were potentiated and frequently dominated my psyche. I am still struggling daily, but I rather feel pain than nothing at all. I would recommend you also check out Ren's other collaboration with Chinchilla, the "How to Be Me" live version, as well as their busking sessions in Brighton, performing “Sexual Healing” (Marvin Gaye cover) and “One Dance / Drunk in love” (Drake/Beyoncé cover). The latter two are of a much more joyful nature. As for "Chalk Outlines," it is one of my favorite songs right now; it is beautiful yet sad. Looking forward to more Ren reactions from you. God bless.
This one is indeed an awesome display of how well they compliment each other. But.... my man..... you are going to see yet another level of how well they work together, when you see "How To be Me (live)" - which frankly - tops this one, by quite a wide margin.
Ren has such a perfectionist spirit and is always intentional. The loud chair noise has meaning because Cherophobia is literally the fear of being happy. It's why he made the chair the focus. Love your reactions. ❤
That seems like a stretch. I mean he has a budget here of close to zero and he needs to sit down for the choreography of this piece. It was likely the chair they had available, but he does use it quite effectively to introduce the reverb in the room. But if you've heard him say somewhere he chose it because of cherophobia I'd be most interested. He's a smart guy.
@yonahgrossman7319 I haven't heard him say it. It just comes from a place of I thought about it because I have adhd and like Ren have battled illnesses and had to teach myself because drs fail sometimes. I think if it didn't have that meaning the sound wouldn't have been amplified.
@@sanoraray Ok. The only problem with your argument is that I would guess less than 1% of english speaking people know the word cherophobia, whose root has nothing to do with chairs, so it seems like a clue that only an infinitesimal number of his fans would get. And of course, he did need a place to sit down. Is there a meaning behind the wheelchair in HI REN, because I heard they found it abandoned on the location of THE HUNGER shoot, and took it? Kleptomania?? I admire your intellectual reach, but I think I'll go with the words of the immortal phobia specialist Sigmund Freud when he said, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." Peace.
@yonahgrossman7319 I do believe that the wheelchair is significant. You come around a corner and see a man standing up out a chair and you think nothing..you come around the corner and see a man looking like that standing from a wheelchair and your brain will pause to try to figure out what is happening if for no other reason other than it's unexpected. I also have adhd/Autism and my fixation is why humans do what they do so I tend to look at the world through the lense of "Why?" so I get it might just be me.
Love your reaction man as always 👍 Ren said that Chinchilla is his sibling in music. They understand each other and feel music in the same way. Thanks for this nice moment 😘
I need you to react to “The Hunger” so bad. You have seen his voice, enough to see he sets him apart from most singers. Singing Coach UA-cam Reactors all agree. But listen to this rap, go back and read the lyrics, becasue you won’t keep up with them, and see that he is as world renowned Rapper and producer as he is a singer. It’s just going to blow your mind. Even if you don’t like Rap. That, “Lose It.” Buckle up, the Ren Roller only get crazier. Ten times crazier.! I have loved your reactions. Watched them all and we promise if you keep doing it, we are here to support you and will be grateful!
Soooo much better than cake! 😁🦇😁 Yes, Chinchilla is an absolute FORCE of talent! She's as musically devastating as Ren. Can't wait to see more! 🤘🦇🤘🦇🤘🦇🤘
Chinchilla is amazing! I hope you dive into her music too someday (but don't burn yourself out). If you ever want to watch some of her live stuff (like a full festival as opposed to her live videos) she did a great set at Pinkpop 2024. I've been trying to get reactors to watch 'One Time' from that set because her vocals are off the charts.
They are so good together. One Dance/Drunk in love is fantastic too. It’s Chinchilla first time busking. Ren’s older music is also beautiful. Heretic, It’s Alright, Crutch, Patience , Children of the Moon and so many more. Great reaction . Ren busking with the band he’s in called TBP is a must see. All the members are so talented. Swan Song and Bongo Bong are some of my favorites.
Really enjoying your reactions!! LIVE versions of Ren songs are almost always better with 3 exceptions. Fans will really want you to react to the OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEOs for these (and then check out the LIVE versions.) -MONEY GAME 2 -DOMINOES -1990s
This is an amazing duet, and it gives me chills every time, but their HOW TO BE ME (live) duet is even more amazing and hauntingly beautiful. Hope you do that one soon!
When I saw how you reacted to "Hi Ren" I was hoping I would see you do this one. Welcome to this journey. Everything this man does is great. You will not regret listening to any of his music. I would highly recommend "The Hunger" next. It is a great introduction to his rap music.
Chalk Outlines is one of my favourites - the lyrics "It's such a perfect day -Take it just in case, take it just in case-I'm scared of being okay" is such a real thing. I've dealt with depression and anxiety for well over half my life and the days when I'm ok or _happy_ scare the crap out of me because I spend the day wondering when the other shoe is going to drop and it''s all going to come tumbling down. I'm good with hovering just below baseline because it's safe there... anyway enough of my wall of text - hope you're enjoying the rabbit hole :-)
Subbed for your rabbit hole journey! You won't be dissapointed! It will branch you out to Chinchilla, Vik (features on Down with the Beat), Sam, Romain and Gorran (his bandmates from the Big Push)! Ren's other song with Chinchilla How To Be Me is also * chefs kiss *
Yes, Live is always better when it comes to Ren and Chinchilla. How To Be Me Live is SO gut wrenchingly beautiful and heartbreaking. ( It is the second song in what ended up being a 4 song arch about his best friend Joe. - Freckled Angel, How To Be Me, Suic*de, and For Joe. Unlike The Tales they are separate and stand alone songs. If you want to hear Chinchilla solo do Fingers Live, 1:5 Live)
Those nails are "glue-on", part of her stage persona, to make herself feel more powerful I guess, bc she's kinda short and very young. But her music is great and her voice is amazing. Ren is like a magnet for talented people :)
Another amazing female vocalist from the last decade worth checking out is Cleo Sol, who is also part of the mysterious project group SAULT, both of whom are produced by her partner Inflow. Mark GV - Reference Point
I am not 100% certain on this, but I believe that he is miked and she is not. She is moving around the room to change the distance from herself to his mike to adjust the volume of her own vocals. I think they are real time sound mixing using space.
She uses her nails on stage only as part of her persona. Great reaction buddy. How to be Me next, Chalk Outlines is a great introduction watch it go to a whole other level in How to be Me.
Chinchilla is an amazing singer.REN has made music with a lot of talented artists eden, Nash ocean or humble then you got Ren and Sam Tompkins and then of course we can’t forget about the band that REN was in the big push.The latest song he released was Troubles.Peace out
REN always pure 🔥🔥 but PLEASE go try some of Chinchilla's earlier catalogue like ELEMENT'S or ONE TIME or FABULOUS or TERMS AND CONDITIONS or LOCKDOWN GET DOWN or TRIGGER 👍🎵🎶🍯🤌🙏💪🐝🍀
"It's my ADHD. It's like when I'm driving down the road, SQUIRRLE!" LMAO, that is so me!! I just found your reactions and have watched all of them so far, just have the I Shot the Sheriff video left to go. I'm loving the Sleep Token reactions too! They're one of my favorite bands. Anyway, I thought you would like to check out something different from Ren...his "Money Game" series. It's Money game 1, Money Game 2 and Money Game 3. They show some real next level genius from Ren. I'll link all 3 below in order for you. You don't have to but it would make one hell of a reaction if you did all 3 in one video for us! Thanks and you have a new sub from me! ua-cam.com/video/0ivQwwgW4OY/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/YonS9_QJbp8/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/nyWbun_PbTc/v-deo.html
I have a big suggestion if you want to go Ren adjacent and check out Sam Tompkins -Lose it all - Live . He’s blowing up in UK right now with his new album . Him and Ren are friends and busked together in Brighton so it’s cool story. That song is imo one of the greatest ever vocals performed. Great reactions !!
It's time to ask the question, what kind of music (apart from all music) do you actually like? Do you like rap? Ren's last album was almost all rap music and after this album, which came out in October 2023, he wants to record a melodic album next. And with other artists. What's so fascinating about Ren for me is that I haven't disliked a song yet. Plus, you never know what Ren will do with a song. One song for the new album will be "Back to 74 / Massage in a Bottle". But I recommend "Loosing it", where Ren raps over an old EDM hit and just flexes and has fun. "Illest of our time" is great with double meanings, rather three meanings or more. Or check out "Bittersweet Synphonie". The guitarist gave Ren his old guitar because he interpreted the song so beautifully. "90s" is a declaration of love to this decade, once with video, but the acoustic version by Ren in his younger years is also great. Or the "declaration of love" to the Beastyboys, with the song "What you want", for old school hip hop. A few songs are too close to me, like "Su1c1d3", but you can hardly go wrong with Ren. A hardcore rapper didn't like the fun songs from him so much, because Ren can be really prepubescent too ^^. Actually, do what you want, I'm curious what song you'll listen to next, but rap wasn't really around that often. It's really hard to recommend you a Ren song when not knowing your taste in music so well ^^. I'm definitely looking forward to the next reaction, I've done all your Ren reactions now :D
Ren has ADHD too. I think that's why so many of us with some neurodiversities resonate with his music. It's not just the lyrics, I think he makes music that feels good to wonky brains!
It's not that weird that you were distracted by her nails. I don't have ADHD, but the first time I watched How to Be Me, I was so worried she'd scratch his eyes that I couldn't focus on the song. But you get used to the nails after awhile because she's pretty effing amazing, especially with Ren
I love this one - Ren refers to Chinchilla as his "musical sister," and they're always amazing together.
You're starting to understand how we all see him.
Don't miss out on his older stuff like "Heretic", "Children of the moon", "Ready for you" And so many more
Chinchilla is amazing in her own right! Love her music! Her nails are her armour, she only wears them when she performs and transforms from Daisy to Chinchilla as she suffers from really bad stage fright.
I suggest 'How to be Me' live by them both again and if you want to check out Chinchilla on her own I suggest:
Fingers live for Hunger TV, 1:5
Cut You Off
Little Girl Gone (official video followed by the live which is a totally different vibe)
Their harmonies are even more impressive on their other duet "How to be me (live)". Ren refers to Chinchilla as a musical sibling and, like Ren, all she delivers is banger after banger after banger in a continuous row. Should you want to react for/to us any of her solo stuff, I would either go with "Fingers (live)" or "1:5 (live)". You're doing a.great job
The final bridge/chorus/harmony whatever that was, always brings me to tears. The pure desperation in Ren's face and voice is such a gut punch.
Wait until you hear "1:5" by Chinchilla (Live). It will blow you away!
The best musical “siblings”. Ren has called her his sister from another mister and a female version of himself due to their similar approach to music. For me I think it shows in the fact that they both have that something special that draws you in and demands attention. To see it fully for Chinchilla, check out her live version of Fingers.

The two of them are amazing every time they perform together!

Another great reaction🙂 The more Ren you watch, the more impressed you are. The scope of his talent and artistry is astounding ♥️🎶
Seeing them do this live at Secret Garden Party was 🤯🤯🤯
**ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED** congratulations! You have discovered new ren friend chinchilla! Beautiful voice, many amazing songs as well😊💜
Great video yet again! As others have said, try "How to be me Live" it's one of my absolute favorites. Really, all Ren songs are my favorite, lol. ❤
This one is indeed an awesome display of how well they compliment each other. But.... my man..... you are going to see yet another level of how well they work together, when you see "How To be Me (live)" - which frankly - tops this one, by quite a wide margin.
This was a GREAT reaction.
You are absolutely right.
They are the PERFECT compliment to each other.
Thank you and have an AMAZING day.
❤🤗❤

Chinchilla is amazing! I hope you dive into her music too someday (but don't burn yourself out).

I love your reactions - am absolutely re-living my first experiences of Ren and Chincilla through you, and am so grateful.
I'm grateful for you being here
Awesome! I'm glad you found Chinchilla. They do a busking version of sexual healing for something a bit more upbeat.
Ren has such a beautiful soul. He reads people and works with their experiences and strengths. Genius
You've got to check out Chinchilla solo. 1:5 (live) or Fingers (live) are a good introduction.
You ever had a song that comes along and gut punches you before you even have time to say anything? Yeah, this is one of those.
They are so good together. One Dance/Drunk in love is fantastic too. It’s Chinchilla first time busking. Ren’s older music is also beautiful. Heretic, It’s Alright, Crutch, Patience , Children of the Moon and so many more. Great reaction . Ren busking with the band he’s in called TBP is a must see. All the members are so talented.

First time round, couldn't take my eyes off her nails ❤
How to be me is another mind blowing piece by these two powerhouses ❤
Really enjoying your reactions!! LIVE versions of Ren songs are almost always better with 3 exceptions. Fans will really want you to react to the OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEOs for these (and then check out the LIVE versions.)
-MONEY GAME 2
-DOMINOES
-1990s
❤ren❤
This is an amazing duet, and it gives me chills every time, but their HOW TO BE ME (live) duet is even more amazing and hauntingly beautiful. Hope you do that one soon!
This about how you feel on anti depressants. The numbness of all emotions to stop the bad feelings.
An amazing work of art.
Clearly I relate ❤
Hauntingly beautiful. 💛💛💛
The live versions of their songs are definitely better IMO. Thanks for another great reaction 💜💜
❤
Always play How to be me live straight after this it's another example of the hauntingly beautiful blend of their voices.
Lovely reaction to a beautiful song! Ren is very open with his ADHD as well, you're in good company :)
When I saw how you reacted to "Hi Ren" I was hoping I would see you do this one. Welcome to this journey. Everything this man does is great. You will not regret listening to any of his music. I would highly recommend "The Hunger" next. It is a great introduction to his rap music.
Hauntingly beautiful!
I had the exact same reaction to her nails the first time I watched this video!
Chalk Outlines is one of my favourites - the lyrics "It's such a perfect day -Take it just in case, take it just in case-I'm scared of being okay" is such a real thing.

This was good. I subscribed. I love Ren and all of his extremely talented friends. ❤
Loved your reaction. Thank you ❤
Loving your reactions... ❤🇬🇧
I love how you feel this. I'm here for it. 💜
I love how deeply you feel Ren's songs. He and Chinchilla are mesmerizing together ❤️ Please follow up with them on How to be Me 🎉
Subbed for your rabbit hole journey! You won't be dissapointed! It will branch you out to Chinchilla, Vik (features on Down with the Beat), Sam, Romain and Gorran (his bandmates from the Big Push)! Ren's other song with Chinchilla How To Be Me is also * chefs kiss *
Great reaction to a great song which means a lot to many people, not least me. Thanks!

So glad to see you react to this song. It took me the same way.. And still does as with so many of their songs
❤❤❤
Sometimes I forget how it is to see this for the first time.
Good choice on the live version. Another good reaction.
Those nails are "glue-on", part of her stage persona, to make herself feel more powerful I guess, bc she's kinda short and very young. But her music is great and her voice is amazing. Ren is like a magnet for talented people :)
You’re so cool dude!😉💙✌️
New sub. Here for your Ren rabbit hole. 🥰
I was hoping you'd react to this one next. Great reaction.
♥️🔥
Patience my friend…. There’s always a reason in everything Ren does. It’s always worth the short wait he occasionally puts you through.
i love this song. how to be me and their busking to drake and beyonce/ this was a great choice.
💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥
#FreeSickaBoi
"How he uses a room". 100%
Beware of Chinchillas fingers, way more deadly than her nails.
I mean, if you have been spending time with Chinchilla, you might want to watch your own fingers.
Another amazing female vocalist from the last decade worth checking out is Cleo Sol, who is also part of the mysterious project group SAULT, both of whom are produced by her partner Inflow. Mark GV - Reference Point
I am not 100% certain on this, but I believe that he is miked and she is not. She is moving around the room to change the distance from herself to his mike to adjust the volume of her own vocals. I think they are real time sound mixing using space.
She uses her nails on stage only as part of her persona. Great reaction buddy. How to be Me next, Chalk Outlines is a great introduction watch it go to a whole other level in How to be Me.
Chinchilla is an amazing singer.REN has made music with a lot of talented artists eden, Nash ocean or humble then you got Ren and Sam Tompkins and then of course we can’t forget about the band that REN was in the big push.The latest song he released was Troubles.Peace out

"It's my ADHD. It's like when I'm driving down the road, SQUIRRLE!" LMAO, that is so me!!
I just found your reactions and have watched all of them so far, just have the I Shot the Sheriff video left to go. I'm loving the Sleep Token reactions too! They're one of my favorite bands. Anyway, I thought you would like to check out something different from Ren...his "Money Game" series. It's Money game 1, Money Game 2 and Money Game 3. They show some real next level genius from Ren. I'll link all 3 below in order for you. You don't have to but it would make one hell of a reaction if you did all 3 in one video for us! Thanks and you have a new sub from me!

I have a big suggestion if you want to go Ren adjacent and check out Sam Tompkins -Lose it all - Live . He’s blowing up in UK right now with his new album . Him and Ren are friends and busked together in Brighton so it’s cool story. That song is imo one of the greatest ever vocals performed. Great reactions !!
Live >>> lyric version 100%!
It's time to ask the question, what kind of music (apart from all music) do you actually like?
Do you like rap? Ren's last album was almost all rap music and after this album, which came out in October 2023, he wants to record a melodic album next. And with other artists. What's so fascinating about Ren for me is that I haven't disliked a song yet. Plus, you never know what Ren will do with a song. One song for the new album will be "Back to 74 / Massage in a Bottle".
But I recommend "Loosing it", where Ren raps over an old EDM hit and just flexes and has fun. "Illest of our time" is great with double meanings, rather three meanings or more.
Or check out "Bittersweet Synphonie". The guitarist gave Ren his old guitar because he interpreted the song so beautifully. "90s" is a declaration of love to this decade, once with video, but the acoustic version by Ren in his younger years is also great. Or the "declaration of love" to the Beastyboys, with the song "What you want", for old school hip hop.
A few songs are too close to me, like "Su1c1d3", but you can hardly go wrong with Ren. A hardcore rapper didn't like the fun songs from him so much, because Ren can be really prepubescent too ^^. Actually, do what you want, I'm curious what song you'll listen to next, but rap wasn't really around that often. It's really hard to recommend you a Ren song when not knowing your taste in music so well ^^.
I'm definitely looking forward to the next reaction, I've done all your Ren reactions now :D
Ren has ADHD too. I think that's why so many of us with some neurodiversities resonate with his music. It's not just the lyrics, I think he makes music that feels good to wonky brains!
Please do chinchilla’s new song 5 to 1 you will not regret it. Trust me the girl can belt.
It's not that weird that you were distracted by her nails. I don't have ADHD, but the first time I watched How to Be Me, I was so worried she'd scratch his eyes that I couldn't focus on the song. But you get used to the nails after awhile because she's pretty effing amazing, especially with Ren
just wait till you do how to be me live as well as for joe
Hello there welcome to artistry one takes and ***k auto tune and click tracks
Like you, and myself, Ren also has ADHD, if you did not know.
