That second "Oooh I can't breathe" rips my heart out every time... Also if you look close Ren is crying on the last part. He kept it together so well..
❤❤❤it took me months to notice him crying , I had been watching but never too closely until I finally was sitting and solely watching it not having it on in the background . I remeber stopping and rewatched it and instantly started crying and it was so heartbreaking like again after months of listening to it. Ugh. My heart. I'm glad you mentioned it
Ren, The Big Push and Chinchilla all broke away from their same management team at the same time. It was apparently a very ugly drawn out affair that lasted about a year or so. On her IG, Chinchilla sometimes discussed how depressing, painful and destructive it was. They have both touched on it some in interviews. Once they were free, they were feeling lost without a support system to navigate going forward with their careers. Going through all of that, they leaned on each other, cementing their relationship. (Ren is 34, Chinchilla is 27.)
For your live stream folks going on and on and on about Chinchillas nails...🙄. They are costume nails and are put on when she performs. Otherwise in everyday life they are off. That is sad when that was all some could talk about and didn't careless about the song...props to you people.😒
********* NEW SUB ********** While I absolutely LOVE their collaborations, Chinchilla is a musical powerhouse in her own right. Her costumes are wildly theatrical. She's diverse and honestly reflective. Not to mention the strength and range of her vocals, which are truly next level. Popular Chinchilla songs: "Fingers (live)" ... truly mind-blowing "Cold Water" ... vocally rich/beautiful "Little Girl Gone" ... bold/defiant NOTE: There are two versions of "Little Girl Gone" --- Requiem (slower/deliberate) and the Official Music Video (fast/sassy). Would really, REALLY love to see your reaction to one/all of these videos. 😊
The song is called "How to Be Me," as though Ren's gonna instruct you how to be him; how he ticks. But then you get the gut punch that it's not that at all; he's describing that he's lost himself. All I can say is that we're so lucky we didn't lose Ren. We could have lost him at any number of moments, but he did pull himself through, in the end. ... and Chalk Outlines is my fave, too.
Ren manages to put big complex thoughts into one line that resonates, he is also a master at pulling back, using a pause or silence to speak. It's brilliant.
So good to hear your reaction to this powerful song. They are a perfect match for each other. May i suggest that you react to Crutch by Ren. Its also a powerful video and it was done on zero budget. It sqeezes my heart each time I view it.
❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for reacting to this i am always so excited to aee your reaction to rens music, your perpesctive and thoughts and analysis is so special and layered , you pick up on nuances and the smallest details that have the biggest meanings that i dont pick up sometimes so it is a real treat that you do these, thank you so much
These two have such a great synergy together. Each one powerhouses on their own and just something magical when they come together. Wow just always wow with these two.
They have a bro and sister vibe in the quality of their voices that blend so well. They use to do some busking on the streets in Brighton. In fact they have a video up on Ren's older music.
Ren sings from his soul... and life experience. Which resinates with so many people. Both Rens and Chinchillas versions when Live, surpass all studio stuff.
I've heard this song over a hundred times, and it never fails to give me chills and make me tear up. This is the best duet of ALL TIME. Glad you finally got to it.
This song is written in the perspective of his late friend, Joe, who was lost to suicide when they were young. "For Joe" by Ren adds more to this story, as does his song "Suicide."
An artist is just that when he ( she) resonate perfectly whith her(him) self , but when the other self is involved things become interesting and the true artist within is revealed- " Not now Jeffrey , not now " best simple description...
Never a facile, throwaway analysis from you. You peel the onion with emotional care that brings in the listener. Thank you so much! If you haven't, check out Fingers by Chinchilla, the live video for Hunger TV, not the lyric video. You won't be sorry!
Hi just found you, first 1 was chalk outlines, first time i saw chinchilla was on the voice, she did her version of put a spell on you, (Re her nails theyre her armour when performing!!) then i found chalk outlines, i was hooked Ren and Sam Thompkins(if memory serves me right!) Busking in Brighton, thats summat to check out! Thats another rabbit hole with Ren!
So pleased you reacted as I thought you would! This is such a beautiful and powerful song. Thank you for helping to spread the word. X PS They collaborated again recently when Ren took a break from treatment in Canada and returned to uk for a while - but not yet released!
Their harmonies remind me of the French animation Les Triplettes de Belleville (from what I remember - it's been decades!). Very... moody... really takes you into an alternate world. So good!
There is a horror movie called "Book of Blood" I swear they must have watched before writing this song. One character can talk to the dead. Another has to escape a house where the owners remove all five senses of people, then put them in the walls and floors, keeping them alive with IV drips. The only thing you can hear is their breathing through the walls.
My favourite duo ever ( including Diana and Marvin ) ! Great reaction. My favourite track by these two is One Dance/Drunk in Love ,busking in the Streets on Brighton UK, is was Chinchilla's only busking experience and they did Sexual Healing ( Marvin ) another beauty.
Just went through all your a Ren reactions. Appreciate the actual reaction and breakdown. As a guitarist would be cool to look into Rens band, The Big Push, especially their busking performances.
A stunning performance of a highly emotional and meaningful song. Meanwhile the accompanying live chat is 100% focused on Chinchilla's nails. America staying on brand.
to those that were paying attention to chat, or were present at the stream, you should know that queerios was mistaken. this was not filmed on that bridge, they're on a rooftop. also, i really enjoyed shiv's idea that the baptism symbolized washing over him. i disagree with it, but i do appreciate the clever correlation. Rather, i think his line from another song gives us a clue. "fear of the unknown preserves a religion'.

This is just off the top of my head
You have to watch murderer, live, acoustic version, and Genesis regular version in the live acoustic version. I think that those are his two best songs he’s got a lot of them castles made of sand is a banger too. But murderer and Genisis Live for sure and The Fred Again mashup where he takes five EDM songs and makes them into one acoustic song?! Amazing! One last thing I know you’re a big fan of chalk outlines, as am I, but there’s an artist that does a cover of it, his name is Azuriha. He also has a song called four moods that is of the charts trust me. You’ll thank me later. Also if you like this take a trip down memory lane and watch old red well I mean young Ren and bibi which was his girlfriend at the time. Song is called crutch and it is right up your alley for your channel. Lot of people don’t know this song. It’s probably seven years old. The video is amazing and the lyrics are some of his most emotional. Her voice is amazing as well.
I love this, but Chalk Outlines remains the one I return to over and over. Their busking sessions are amazing as well. Check out their cover of Sexual Healing.
If you think this was emotional, you simply must react to "For Joe". Ren wrote it for his friend, Joe, who took his own life. The story is that Joe had called one of their friends in the middle of the night, stating that he was going to jump. That friend called Ren since he lived the closest to the bridge. Sadly, Ren arrived too late. The song is an emotional masterpiece as Ren fights to hold back breaking down as he sings about Joe. This is one of his most beautiful songs, as he makes you feel his pain deep within your soul. Make sure you have some Kleenex on hand, because this one will have you in tears.💙
La signification de ces paroles va probablement au delà du symbolisme; j'en tiens pour preuve le fait d'avoir ressenti, en passant en métro proche de la morgue à Paris, la présence d'un ami. J'ai la certitude que Ren a ressenti, ou perçu, son ami décédé. Ce n'est pas une expérience isolée.
time to introduce my man to Sam Tompkins and Ren, chat what you think time for Blind eyed ( must be mc sessions verison ) check it at your own risk , hugs all around
Would have loved this, but the chat is soooo distracting. Can't you crop it out? It's weird seeing people essentially going "meh" to a song that I love, and who can only talk about her nails (they are fake btw, and she only wears them when performing). Makes me want to fight them. LOL.
That second "Oooh I can't breathe" rips my heart out every time...
Also if you look close Ren is crying on the last part. He kept it together so well..
❤❤❤it took me months to notice him crying , I had been watching but never too closely until I finally was sitting and solely watching it not having it on in the background . I remeber stopping and rewatched it and instantly started crying and it was so heartbreaking like again after months of listening to it. Ugh. My heart. I'm glad you mentioned it
Me too, that crescendo hits me like no other 💔
So much real pain on his face when he belts it out, Chinchilla accents it, not overpowers it with her voice
Blood harmony
The last lines are in reference to Ren's friend Joe jumping off a bridge in the middle of the night. That is why he's emotional about it.

(Ren is 34, Chinchilla is 27.)
Ren and Chinchilla recently recorded two new songs together in the studio. I don't know about videos, but we should hear the songs soon.
Really looking forward to hearing them. Thanks for the heads up.
For your live stream folks going on and on and on about Chinchillas nails...🙄. They are costume nails and are put on when she performs. Otherwise in everyday life they are off. That is sad when that was all some could talk about and didn't careless about the song...props to you people.😒
She puts them on to get into character to help with her stage fright. It made so much sense when I found that out.
@@denalinde 💯
Don’t know if you‘ve seen the busking video Ren x Chinchilla One Dance/Drunk in love …
That one is amazing too!
It’s fantastic
Yes! This will show a whole other side to the two of them. Playful and just fantastic! Please make this your next Ren/Chinchilla collab reaction.
Yes and Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye! They did an amazing job on that too! I don't even like the original, but I love how they did it!
Ren and Chinchilla do MG's..(Sexual Healing) live on the street. It is wonderful, also in the same live setting they do (One dance/drunk in love).
👍👏👍🙋♀️

"Wow" is the most appropriate reaction to this song. It hits every time. ❤
Animal Flow will blow your mind as a director.
Ren manages to put big complex thoughts into one line that resonates, he is also a master at pulling back, using a pause or silence to speak. It's brilliant.
One dance/ drunk in love from Ren and chinchilla is good too!
Yes 👍👍🤝👏🙋♀️
Yes 💯
So good to hear your reaction to this powerful song. They are a perfect match for each other. May i suggest that you react to Crutch by Ren. Its also a powerful video and it was done on zero budget. It sqeezes my heart each time I view it.
Great reaction! Crutch is one of the most beautiful things I’ve experienced!❤✌️
“This dude has clawed his way inside my heart”. Dude, same
They have done 2 more collaborations that have not been released yet. .....soon
Any ren is a banger respect he's in our hearts your a Renegade like us good show bro
❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for reacting to this i am always so excited to aee your reaction to rens music, your perpesctive and thoughts and analysis is so special and layered , you pick up on nuances and the smallest details that have the biggest meanings that i dont pick up sometimes so it is a real treat that you do these, thank you so much
These two have such a great synergy together. Each one powerhouses on their own and just something magical when they come together. Wow just always wow with these two.
There is more of these two! One of my faves is their cover of Sexual Healing by Marvyn Gaye. Busking on the street…raw talents
They have a bro and sister vibe in the quality of their voices that blend so well. They use to do some busking on the streets in Brighton. In fact they have a video up on Ren's older music.
10:50 "As incredible as this is; to me, Chalk Outlines holds the crown..." Same here.
Chinchilla can tell stories too. Check out "Fingers" live on Hunger TV
i just love the way you use the english language. its is refreshing to listen to someone with a good grasp of vocabulary.
Ren sings from his soul... and life experience. Which resinates with so many people. Both Rens and Chinchillas versions when Live, surpass all studio stuff.
I've heard this song over a hundred times, and it never fails to give me chills and make me tear up. This is the best duet of ALL TIME. Glad you finally got to it.
Such a beautiful and emotional performance. Ren and Chinchilla together are absolutely amazing. Love this one 💜💜
Haven't watched this one in a while, and it made me cry all over again. Simply superb.
This song is written in the perspective of his late friend, Joe, who was lost to suicide when they were young. "For Joe" by Ren adds more to this story, as does his song "Suicide."
also this was filmed on the same bridge where Joe jumped....

I LOVE Fingers! She's amazing.
They are soooo good together ❤️. Can't wait for their next collab!
Hi just found you, first 1 was chalk outlines, first time i saw chinchilla was on the voice, she did her version of put a spell on you, (Re her nails theyre her armour when performing!!) then i found chalk outlines, i was hooked Ren and Sam Thompkins(if memory serves me right!) Busking in Brighton, thats summat to check out! Thats another rabbit hole with Ren!
I think it's time for some Chinchilla's solo performances... she's great, she's a queen. Fingers live for Hunger tv.
I see them as a pleading and beseeching for human connection and understanding . . . both here and in "Chalk Outlines."
So pleased you reacted as I thought you would! This is such a beautiful and powerful song. Thank you for helping to spread the word. X
PS They collaborated again recently when Ren took a break from treatment in Canada and returned to uk for a while - but not yet released!
Oh is there ever more around. Their busking sessions of “Sexual Healing” and “One Dance/Drunk Love” are fantastic! 🔥
These 2 would be a HIT around the campfire ❤️😂
Their harmonies remind me of the French animation Les Triplettes de Belleville (from what I remember - it's been decades!). Very... moody... really takes you into an alternate world. So good!
the eye contact they have is amazing. i hard to look right into someones eyes and hold the look
Classic tune
There is a horror movie called "Book of Blood" I swear they must have watched before writing this song. One character can talk to the dead.

They have some busking videos which are awesome.

Check out another Ren and Chinchilla busking. Her first time busking to Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing”
You have to watch murderer, live, acoustic version, and Genesis regular version in the live acoustic version.

This song is truly amazing. One dance/drunk in love is so good too. They busking on the streets.
Please do Fred by Again mashup
This is a mind meld between them. A command performance. Thank you Kelly , Yes..... Ren and Chinchilla do MG's..(Sexual Healing)
Nice reaction, sir!
Fantastic reaction 😊
I love this, but Chalk Outlines remains the one I return to over and over.
Their busking sessions are amazing as well. Check out their cover of Sexual Healing.
💜💜
❤❤❤
❤ Powerful reaction. You have to check out Chinchillas solo stuff too. I'd recommend starting with 'Fingers' Live. It's phenomenal 🔥
❤
If you think this was emotional, you simply must react to "For Joe". Ren wrote it for his friend, Joe, who took his own life. The story is that Joe had called one of their friends in the middle of the night, stating that he was going to jump. That friend called Ren since he lived the closest to the bridge.

Great reaction💕👍🦇

I wanna know what lou said to make you blush a little 😂😂❤
La signification de ces paroles va probablement au delà du symbolisme; j'en tiens pour preuve le fait d'avoir ressenti, en passant en métro proche de la morgue à Paris, la présence d'un ami. J'ai la certitude que Ren a ressenti, ou perçu, son ami décédé. Ce n'est pas une expérience isolée.
LOL, I also get the "older sister" vibe from her towards Ren, but the thing is... Ren is actually 10ish yrs older than Chinchilla :)
Try ruby j museum session or you missing out it's rens friend she's fire people check it out fire
Can you watch Ren sing Road to Zion and Hip Hop
The big Push. The one in the red suspenders???? TY 😊
I know youll Love it !!
👍👍✔✔ [ UK Yorkshire ]
time to introduce my man to Sam Tompkins and Ren, chat what you think time for Blind eyed ( must be mc sessions verison ) check it at your own risk , hugs all around
You should check out suic*de and for joe
REN raid incoming?
Your stream chat folks are terrible. But I'm glad you felt the weight of this.
Would have loved this, but the chat is soooo distracting. Can't you crop it out? It's weird seeing people essentially going "meh" to a song that I love, and who can only talk about her nails (they are fake btw, and she only wears them when performing). Makes me want to fight them. LOL.
Says he's really looking forward to it, then spends half the song reading the chat...
I wish you'd watch ren - Su!cide, though idk if it's possibly a bit dark for your channel
❤❤❤
