They both have such beautiful voices. Chinchilla's song Fingers (the live for Hunger TV version) is one of the most creative vocal performances I've heard in a long time.
The way Ren can always say something that resonates with everyone in the world on one level or another is not to be underappreciated. The new habit to mask the depression, anxiety, or whatever negative thoughts/feelings someone may have that makes day to day life difficult is so broad but true. It could be drugs, it could be alcohol, it could be books, it could be gaming, it could be a revolving door of relationships. Everyone has something they depend on when needed to get through the tough times. Such a real song, an incredibly real artist, and Chinchilla is perfect for the duet.
It's very exhilirating to watch you enjoy the music, wanting to smile so huge, but feeling the pain of the music at the same time. The conflict was interesting to witness. Thanks for sharing!
Right near the end for me the last build without the guitare is so emotion and powerful. I've never had a song do that maybe its due to the live not over produced sound that he gets from the one take concept.
I love his one shot one take approach to a lot of his videos. He can visualize how sound will be picked up on the single lapel microphone that is used to pick up both of them. You can tell it's just the one mic because you can hear them bring up the gain and noise floor when she's the only voice from further away.
I loved the emotion you showed during this most beautiful performance as it deserved every drop. I have said this before but I struggled to find a duet as good, maybe Billy Preston and Syreeta " With You I am Born Again " 1979 , some 44 years ago. I just find their chemistry extraordinary , Ren does call Chinchilla his younger sibling!! How to be Me is another stunning track they do together and the vocals in Chinchilla's Fingers Live on Hunger TV will blow your mind.
I'm always on the hunt for a good male/female duet and this is definitely up there a the top. For chemistry I also loved the band called 'The Civil Wars' - they actually had a little too much chemistry and broke up as they were both married to other people. I also enjoyed the lives studio version of Gotye and Kimbra singing Somebody that I used to know. And of course you have Tina Turner and Brian Adams, two great raspy voices together. Now going to check out With you I am born again.
Yes, the lyrics but it’s also the raw emotions on Ren’s face, both of their voices together and separate, and of course both their performances. Of course, Ren but finding Chinchilla was amazing. If think this was emotional check out “how to be me” live from both of them.
i'm a low level sound snob, i hope your not listening to this wonderful song on laptop speakers. if you did, that makes me cry :( Nice reaction, first time viewer.. Ren is amazing!
I've been on both sides of the track; believer, non believer... Addict, recovering (every day) addict... Sometimes, people just take you to church. This is life's gospel. Ren & Chinchilla made a song to reach people who needed it most. That's what makes them great. Loved the video and I love seeing so many different people reacting to his music. Be well, good people.
Don't be ashamed of being teary I was crying full on at the middle... I think this really speaks to everyone. We all have our demons, big or small and we all DO try to push them down with our everyday activities and hobbies, hide them from our aquaitances, it's all normal until it becomes just too much.
This performance is amazing. My only complaint is we didn’t get more! I recently came across him for the first time a few weeks ago with Hi Ren then after that got pulled into the Renbit Hole
Hi Rachel!! One of your videos ended up in my feed , so I watched it .. I watch a lot of reactors , but I really liked your reaction and how down to earth you are , and so bubbly !! I like that , it makes me smile .. just subbed in .. thank you for being so genuine and honest .. looking forward to your next video , and I’m gonna binge your library now lol..
Fighting depression and not giving in is difficult. You take the pills they give you to numb yourself but you're not really there anymore, and you're afraid of the days where you feel good because you know it wont last.
You should check out the recorded version if you haven’t already. This is raw but the harmonies in the recorded version is so good. Still doesn’t beat the emotion you’ll feel watching the video though.
So just Incase the messages of this song has been missed Ren has struggled throughout his life with illnesses including mental illnesses and autoimmunity disorders. He is talking about taking medications for depression and mental illnesses cause every doctor gives you medicine and says of this will cure it and it 99 percent of the time does not even anything you don’t feel like yourself you feel like you actually died and are this other person hence the words Chaulk Outlines.
Chinchilla (Daisy Matilda Bertenshaw) is 26 years old, from London, UK, and a rising star on the British music scene. She was a supporting act on Sting's 2019 European Arena tour and the opening act for the 2021 McFly tour. Chinchilla has also played some big European music festivals. Her songs "Cold Water" and "Shadows [Tails]" are beautiful, and her live performance of “Fingers” is amazing, but her entire catalog is worth listening to, including her brand-new release, “Little Girl Gone.” Here is the link to her YT channel: th-cam.com/channels/Zc7gfR6BH-mGJh0_EgHAIQ.html
in the gallows, i'm balanced on my toes (like a noose about to hang himself)... this is about suicide and getting through those depression thoughts..almost deadman walking ...this particular line says it all.
Welcome to the Ren book club! If you get a chance, here are some more chapters for your experience: Su*c1de, Ren X Chinchilla (two tracks, How to be me and Chalk Outlines); Money Game (Parts 1 & 2 in particular); Murderer; the new Nas "Halftime" respect track.
Ren was misdiagnosed a decade ago by doctors. He actually had Lime Disease but they thought his mind was playing tricks and gave him strong drugs psychotropics and told him he was crazy. The Lyme disease ran amuck for 7-8 years. He is currently in Canada receiving treatment to undo all the damage done. his life was dramatically shortened by the misdiagnosis but he is doing his best to stay in shape and recover all the stolen years past & future. Basically it's like having a broken leg and the Dr telling you it's all in your head and prescribing a bunch of super strong psychotropics for 7-8 years. I saw an interview the NHS would make fun of him for asking for more tests on his blood. They are the pig in his videos.
I don't know how to say this without coming off wrong/.. I'm renegade and I'm not a Joiner musician chronic illness.... Also a woman. I haven't seen you before I wish there was just like a Icon to subscribe when I wanted to? Not sure whether they don't have that really but anyway, I'm not sure how many reaction videos you've done on this particular artist you on so many artistic things from jump on this video I have to say.... Kudos
This hits harder when you find out that Ren lived in the bed 23 hours a day, while over medicated on anti-psychotic prescriptions, misdiagnosed for years.
I want more from these two together! Their voices just compliment each other so perfectly. MAD PROPS to Sam as well!! Sam is Ren's videographer. Being that Ren Gill is an independent artist and has no big record label supporting him (SUCK IT SONY! for dropping him as an artist when he got sick!) they have to find locations for filming that have good reverb and they can do one take recordings in at little or no cost to the filming budget. Sam is also in Ren's band 'The Big Push' and they've been friends for years and met when they were both Buskers in Brighton Beach. GREAT REACTION!! +1 sub and looking forward to being with you on this musical adventure. 🎶🔥💖😎
Not that I know the lyrics this song hits harder. Talking about being tired of pills so you try something different, until you get addicted so you try something else until you get addicted to that also then you end up in a chalk outline. That's my take atleast
If you look down in the comments Ren responded to me arguing with guy about whether or not they used pitch correct. I said they didn't, and Ren confirmed there is zero pitch correction which is pretty awesome!
its making you have tears due to it been actual real music these days nothing is real and its all fake for money ren is all about REAl MUSIC and this is as real as it gets
If you loved this you absolutely have to do them both doing 'How to be me' live.
Plus Chinchilla doing Fingers live
Defenitly!🔥

I totally agree with How to be Me, and Chinchilla's Fingers. Please make sure they are both the live versions though.
Chinchilla is talented AF. Live version of Fingers is pure expression of anger, and it is one of the best live performances I've ever watched.
They both have such beautiful voices.
Chinchilla's song Fingers (the live for Hunger TV version) is one of the most creative vocal performances I've heard in a long time.
Ren is therapy for so many from one song he helps so many people open up in ways therapists struggle to do in person.
Ren out here making everyone cry. His ability to make the viewer vulnerable is astonishing
😥 Sometimes with just a single line ...
It doesn't get much better than this kids. Sheer beautiful.
How to be me hits just as hard, if not harder.
Chinchilla is a whole other rabbit hole. Fingers live will blow your mind.
The way Ren can always say something that resonates with everyone in the world on one level or another is not to be underappreciated. The new habit to mask the depression, anxiety, or whatever negative thoughts/feelings someone may have that makes day to day life difficult is so broad but true.

Everyone has something they depend on when needed to get through the tough times. Such a real song, an incredibly real artist, and Chinchilla is perfect for the duet.
Ren just hits different… and he’s so versatile. Check out the band he was in, the big push. Anything he puts his heart into is gold. He’s a gift.
Chinchilla is a fabulous singer and performer. I think you would appreciate her singing 'Fingers' live. It's amazing ❤🇬🇧 Thnx
Lost count of how many time I've listened to this and it still chokes me 😊
It's very exhilirating to watch you enjoy the music, wanting to smile so huge, but feeling the pain of the music at the same time. The conflict was interesting to witness. Thanks for sharing!
goosebumps everytime i hear this song
Ren’s use of space and keeping in the ambient sounds is incredible. And the harmony between him and Chinchilla is beautiful.
Truly great song I LOVE the camera work on this video its perfect
Awesome reaction to an awesome performance. Ren is a modern day bard
This is my favourite song, find it difficult to listen but the sound quality is soooo good
I love your reviews you show the emotion that’s hitting you, simply amazing❤
The first time i saw this one i teared up. Not because of the Lyrics but because of the sheer beauty of it :)
I still tear up often and that's after dozens of listens over a few months. It's a pretty song for sure.
Right near the end for me the last build without the guitare is so emotion and powerful. I've never had a song do that maybe its due to the live not over produced sound that he gets from the one take concept.

You can tell it's just the one mic because you can hear them bring up the gain and noise floor when she's the only voice from further away.
It’s the best music, art, that hardly anyone knows. ❤ great reaction.
this version always gets me teary too. Chinchilla is amazing with the live and raw feel
I loved the emotion you showed during this most beautiful performance as it deserved every drop. I have said this before but I struggled to find a duet as good, maybe Billy Preston and Syreeta " With You I am Born Again " 1979 , some 44 years ago.

Now going to check out With you I am born again.
Chinchilla Fingers live for HungerTV is breathtaking.
One of the finest tunes ever written or performed, the mental health message is raw, honest and tragically needed.
Yes, the lyrics but it’s also the raw emotions on Ren’s face, both of their voices together and separate, and of course both their performances.
Of course, Ren but finding Chinchilla was amazing. If think this was emotional check out “how to be me” live from both of them.
love his audio setup with these live performances, excellent audio quality.
Maybe it's as close to heaven a human can be , Trough their voices on this Mortal Plain.
So obvious the music, voices and lyrics get to you. Beautiful to watch. Thank you.
thank you for reacting and supporting my two favourite artist ❤❤❤
i'm a low level sound snob, i hope your not listening to this wonderful song on laptop speakers. if you did, that makes me cry :( Nice reaction, first time viewer.. Ren is amazing!

Great heartfelt reaction Rachel!
Loved your reaction
This performance is amazing. My only complaint is we didn’t get more! I recently came across him for the first time a few weeks ago with Hi Ren then after that got pulled into the Renbit Hole
Best Ren song. Only cuz its more relatable for me. And he has a lot that are relatable.
Nice that u commented on the resonance if the hallway....Ren uses the same idea the JSV trilogy
Greg Reaction - nice personality! Please do more songs by Ren! Everything he does is fire and meaningful and beautiful❤
Wow! That was SO SO intense BEAUTIFUL!
Ren sings as well as raps and has a great soulful voice... try The Big Push and their version of "I shot the Sheriff" by Bob Marley ❤
So nicely down my lady.
I jump on board and I subscribe to this shared journey you offer us.
Love the weird energy you have at the beginning lol
Hi Rachel!! One of your videos ended up in my feed , so I watched it .. I watch a lot of reactors , but I really liked your reaction and how down to earth you are , and so bubbly !! I like that , it makes me smile .. just subbed in .. thank you for being so genuine and honest .. looking forward to your next video , and I’m gonna binge your library now lol..
It's about over prescription, misdiagnosis, addiction and how the cure for addiction is often another prescription.
thx for that reaction! ❤
I like how you went from "great big smile" to quivering chin in about 1.5 seconds 😄
She is a weapon of mass destruction ❤
The green light indicates power to the guitar and that it is being played wireless
Fighting depression and not giving in is difficult. You take the pills they give you to numb yourself but you're not really there anymore, and you're afraid of the days where you feel good because you know it wont last.
Exactly, I hope you're not speaking from experience but I suspect you are👍
i love how his voice flipped cause of emotion the first time she went hign on thr last part. thats pure emotion
Beautiful music and art
you got to do something about the illuminating light rings which keep bouncing of your eye glasses...
teary for some reason? teary for every reason possible!
Great reaction to a great song!
You should check out the recorded version if you haven’t already. This is raw but the harmonies in the recorded version is so good. Still doesn’t beat the emotion you’ll feel watching the video though.

More Ren reactions!!!!
You stopped it right before the duet saying it was gorgeous and I thought to myself "Just you wait!"
Enjoy its a great song
How have you not done How to be Me by the same people? Same duet, even more emotional power.
Wow ! I loved this reaction. Your face doesn't lie - you felt that. You must try How To Be Me (live version)
Please... Tell me you're gonna do their How To Be Me!?!?!?
Another Awesome duo worth doing!!!!
Live version please!
New sub ❤ love this song
Who's cutting onions...WTF. Stop it

Thank you❤
Their eye contact destroys me!!!!
I would recommend another collaboration - Ren with Eden Nash "Humble"
in the gallows, i'm balanced on my toes (like a noose about to hang himself)... this is about suicide and getting through those depression thoughts..almost deadman walking ...this particular line says it all.

It is like you always want Ren's songs never to end.
this must be next plizzz ren and chinchilla "how to be me"
Have a listen to Chinchillas song Trigger😁
Rachel i love you watching your videos! Even when your fidget...
Jesus I’m done these two are life itself at the moment for most people.
Ty for real react
Chinchilla is a superb solo artist. You should try her live song 'Fingers'
WOW!!!!!
I don't know how to say this without coming off wrong/.. I'm renegade and I'm not a Joiner musician chronic illness.... Also a woman.

There are no mistakes with Ren...only happy or macabre accidents. :)
hell ya
I think "How to be Me" by Ren & Chinchilla should be the next one you should see!
Thanks.
This hits harder when you find out that Ren lived in the bed 23 hours a day, while over medicated on anti-psychotic prescriptions, misdiagnosed for years.
1:58 Phrasing 😊
Thank you
Beautiful song! You should check out "Tiny angel" by 360 it's a roller-coaster of emotions
Little by little i push it down with a new habit... addiction is a bitch
❤
I want more from these two together! Their voices just compliment each other so perfectly. MAD PROPS to Sam as well!! Sam is Ren's videographer.

GREAT REACTION!! +1 sub and looking forward to being with you on this musical adventure. 🎶🔥💖😎
🔥
I got the nerd hots right now.
I think the diffence you feel is due to the lack of heavy processing on the vocals. Just a thought
👌
❤❤❤
Not that I know the lyrics this song hits harder. Talking about being tired of pills so you try something different, until you get addicted so you try something else until you get addicted to that also then you end up in a chalk outline. That's my take atleast

Jelly roll is a must!!
its making you have tears due to it been actual real music these days nothing is real and its all fake for money ren is all about REAl MUSIC and this is as real as it gets
I used to fidget a lot, it’s your brain telling you to create something.
