You’re so very welcome!! You two have amazing musical chemistry and it is beyond inspiring to watch and listen to the work you do together! I just finished a video on “How To Be Me” and it should be up next week :) …Another fantastic performance!
Chinchilla x Ren sexual healing Live Was perfection of blending voices... She’s amazing and people need to get on board... exceptional talent she is!!! Her videos🤯
This might be a weird comment, but it was so classy of you to take that moment to let analysis take the backseat for a moment to the emotion of that segment of their duet, I loved that you realized that it wasn't necessarily the moment for analytical mind, but to just get lost in it for a moment. This song is such a gift, and this analysis is so great! 💜
If you want to see Rens capabilities in character switching live, then 'the tale of Jenny and Screech (full)' is a masterclass. It is a longer video but a wonderful storytelling experience
This is to say thanks for this reaction and for you to check out Ren Chinchilla “how to be me” you will go crazy, cant wait to see your analysis (edited to confirm the live version is the one) thank you to those who called that out.
@@chrisliepe you are very welcome. Someone once described the definition of art to me as : the ability to make an inanimate object cause an emotional reaction. For that reason I believe what Ren does is Art. Have a great day and know your efforts are appreciated.
Ren and his Big Push fellows are raising the bar for all musicians. If I ever go to a show. I'm not wearing makeup and bringing tissues..lol all of his stuff makes me feel good. Most of all Ren helps me feel like life can be fun again.
I like how Chris takes singing that would just sound like singing to the average person, but he takes it apart and breaks it down into bite-sized information for all of us. He really shows us how good Ren is, and how good he is at vocal analysis. Can we just take a moment to appreciate Chris?
Your enthusiasm watching this video was palpable! Each moment of the performance that you were excited to point out, I was nearly leaping out of my seat to receive from you. The shared appreciation for uniquely beautiful art is something we all need so much more of! Thanks for the great insights!
Around 17:20 love how it looks and feels like a dream...floaty fuzzy and then ALL A SUDDEN clear...like you woke up and realized REALITY and got grounded again to what is TRUE....SO VIVID!!!!
I found Ren a month ago, in finding Ren I found your channel which I'm loving. Now I'm finding you and Ren communicating......I love it. I want so badly for Ren to come out of this treatment feeling great. I'm not even joking I'll fly 3000 miles to see him perform live either by himself of his band. He is an incredible artist that has pulled me back into the deep love of music that I thought was lost somewhere at the end of the 90s. I'm playing guitar, writing and singing again. He is a true inspiration. This song like so many of his song resonates with me on a deep, deep level. Thanks for your amazing content. Was just watch your breakdown on Kurt Cobains voice and I love how much nuances you go into.
You get it! First time watching you and I love your interpretation of this video with such genuine feeling. And how could you not. I get the chills or end up crying every time I watch it. REN and Chinchilla definitely get lost in there music.❤❤❤
Wow!!! Chris!!!! I You are influencing so many singers with your amazingness wealth of applicable knowledge in an easy to understand and inspirational way like no other.
When those two get face to face, eye to eye, and start feeding off each other's energy and feeding it back to each other... they are an INCREDIBLE duet pairing. It feels like...I dunno... if Janis and Eddie Vedder performed together
Thank you so much for this breakdown. My friend and I have been working on singing this one and those close harmonies are REALLY challenging. I'm not even trying to perfectly replicate what Chinchilla is doing, but even getting in the same ballpark is not easy. So much respect for the technical aspects of what on surface seems like quite a simple tune.
And he could do it "perfectly" in a studio setup with all sorts of post-production. But it just wouldn't be the same. Great part of what is connecting in his songs are these so called "imperfections" that carry an almost cry-ish tone, which makes a lot of sense with the lyrics
Agree. I prefer vocals with a little rawness. Nowadays I feel like most artists just auto-tune the crap out of everything and all of the soul and humanity is drained from it..
You have no idea how happy this makes me, two of my favourite and inspiring educators and performers meeting virtually. This is my favourite of Rena songs and this version alway makes me cry, with the emotion, performance and writing from both Ren and chinchilla. Ren has an amazing voice but you can tell he has come from a character inspired learning method rather than the “normal” way. I so hope you get a chance to work with Ren in the future.
I can so relate, having anxiety. Waking up and feeling good but too scared to fully embrace it because I know it can be ripped away at any time in a split second, sometimes, most times,having no idea what triggered it. So many good days waisted by the dread that is always hiding just beneath the surface of knowing it might not last for even a full day.
Ren is an GOAT and this song by both Ren and Chinchilla is one of the best songs I have ever heard and is in my mind, a it stands in terms of favorites of all time it is left only competing with other Ren Tunes which I literally cant pick a favorite from. He is just so inanely talented its unreal!
One of the biggest struggles in life is being alone and waking up okay just to feel literally guilty for having a good day. Like you don't deserve it. Some crushing stuff, but Ren's music is pretty life saving tbh
I am so with you. There are those who think they know. Then there are people like us, Ren And Chinchilla, that really Know. Hope you can keep yourself safe. Cheers from Australia.
I think I have watched most of the reaction videos to this performance and this is easily the best for two reasons. Like many commentators you love the video and feel the emotional response, but when you stopped to say that you had to play a bit again without you speaking over it, you really won me over. Secondly, your analysis of the vocals was actually really useful, a lot of the 'vocal coach reacts' videos give a sketchy analysis without actually explaining the techniques and suggesting how to use them, but your descriptions were really clear, accessible and made a lot of sense. Thanks.
I lost my son to a supposed mental illness...he was 39...the angst and pleading and finally that great big smile....gives me goosebumps....it is perfection.
The way their voices compliment the other in a perfect connection of dependency in the other. One would say it's the perfect duo, a masterclass per say! I love these guys together and I have found a new favorite in REN. My wife who usually hates this kind of music found a love for it too. My favorite REN song is "Violets Tale". That given he's already covered the others would make for a great next video.
Just found out who Ren is and have been binge watching reaction videos. This was the most enjoyable and knowledgeable explanation. Wow! I didn't realize all that was going on in their voices. Can't stop singing this now. Thank you! 🤗😃
Chris, your enthusiasm is infectious, every time I listen to and watch this music video I am awestruck by the passion in Ren X Chinchilla's performance. It moves me! They deliver everything I could hope to experience.
This video is sSOOO freaking powerful. The scene makes me picture 2 in-patient individuals supporting each other as they are suffering to their demons. Holding each other up and building off of each other. I love the storytelling through body language and the lyrics.
I’m late to the Ren reaction videos! We just did our first today for a holistic healthcare channel. It’s so cool to see so many different perspectives of his message.
By far, the best and most informative Ren reaction I've seen. When you said they were commiserating together it was powerful. We are so used to duets that are 'love' based but this was deeper, it was human connection together in challenge.
Such a fascinating breakdown for me as someone who is not musical at all, but appreciates and recognises great music even though I don't know how or why it has captivated me or given me the frisson- the way you sing and demonstrate the difference between how a flat note would convey and hold such less emotion than the way Ren tails off into a "head note" for example, gives me that "Ahh, I see, to something that was previously unexplainable to me. I also found your obvious eargasm at 14:04 highly entertaining lol
This song is probably my favorite song ever. You are right they got lost but stayed in snyc with each other. Absolutely beautiful! When I sing my favorite thing to do is let go and let the music take over. I love to see when others do it too!
Also Buckley-ish: the vulnerability and pain that makes it sound like he’s literally dying in front of you and he’s hoping you’ll take this message to his family. The strength and control in his voice makes some really tender, low-power fade outs that maintain vibrato all the way through and peter out roughly but beautifully.
The amount of soul he brings to this song is just out of this world. Every time i hear this this song i just burst into tears during the acapella segment. He really just has the most uncanny ability to pierce right into my soul. The interaction here between Chinchilla and Ren makes it hit home so much harder because the connection they share of complete understanding of what they are singing and i can only assume that both of them have gone through very hard things in life to be able to embody the emotions to this degree. You know how we talk about being on the same wavelength when talking about finding partners? That wavelength is very real when it comes to understanding pain and suffering as well. I might be biased because this song hits really close to home as someone who struggles daily for my entire life with mental health issues. So the context of this song cuts deep into my soul and it is a perfect depiction of how it feels. I think REN is the most poetic storyteller of our generation hands down, and Chinchilla is no slouch in this piece either, she really nails it.
I honestly didn't think there were any other reaction TH-cam Channels i liked as much as Charismatic Voice. I found you because of the video you did with Elizabeth and Will. Loving your channel.
They have extraordinary control of their voices, it's pure beauty. This is art at a level that I've never heard from anyone else - Ren has the most amazing voice, and together they're just stunning. I am sure you're singling out all the things I adore about their music, but it all goes over my head, though I love your enthusiasm. I feel the vibe, no understanding of the terms or how they're doing it. I feel like Ren's music goes straight to my soul and speaks about things I've never exposed and have no idea how to vocalize. As you say, it's a dance. Thanks - I enjoy your enthusiasm hearing the music, your vibe when listening is a joy :-)
Great reaction! Thank you so much for continuing on Ren! Looking forward to more! Another band that would be great for vocal analyzing is Nightwish. Their lead vocalist, Floor Jansen, is a classically trained soprano and has a little training in opera. They have a lot of symphony in their music as well. The lyrics are deeply poetic and range thru many topics. I've never seen someone be able to relay the emotion and feels of a song so well, even through a screen, and still have it hit you after years. Her breathing and technique is amazing. She can do many styles from opera all the way to death growls. I think you'd really have a lot of great things to show through reacting to them. I would start with the Nightwish song Ghost Love Score Live from Wacken 2013. Just a suggestion! Thanks so much for your detailed breakdowns on the vocal aspects. I found you on Hi Ren, and have subbed for the ride. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and thoughts with us all! Blessings to you & yours from Alabama!
He can do anything. He has a band The Big Push I shot the Sherrif\Road to Zion\Hip Hop is his Reggae side. The very next song from the same live set is a Warpigs cover where he turns into a Rock God. I have never heard an artist be this outstanding at so many completely different styles.
Thank you Chris. Normally I hate it when people interrupt Ren but you did so always with relevant information and great respect for Ren's performance. I will look forward to seeing your response to more Ren magic.
Man, your reactions are quite remarkable. I really enjoy your insight and expertise in vocals. I am not a singer, but truly appreciate your view. And REN, holy crap. He’s amazing. Love your passion.
This is by far the best analysis of this masterpiece. I forgot how amazing your insight is. This incredible piece of music, that is reality for some of us, is the first time in a very long time I have listened to over and over. You were able to put words to what I was hearing that I didn't understand. That amazing upper register harmony and the subtleties and nuances along the way. I believe this is a perfect moment of music. Thank you. Love and respect from Australia.
I discovered Jen yesterday been watching videos about him all day (Sunday) He is a well-rounded guy.with heaps of talent. going to be on my playlist now need to get his CDs .
It’s like she’s reaching for him, feelings as pointed as those fingernails, he’s shaking his head, understands but troubled, empathetic, she backs away
I’m a boomer who sang folk, rock and jazz before switching to classical and singing opera, then teaching at two major music conservatories in NY and Boston. You, my friend, are a master at getting to the core of what these artists are doing as they play their vocal instruments. Thank you! I subbed and will be back!
Remember how The Mamas & the papas had one voice four people.. four ppl one sound one voice one tone ..! You can feel what they have over come to be their music... Simply beautiful!! Ren an Chinchilla stunningly beautiful sound . I Kno this sickness I am this sickness.. still feeling music... This young voices... !
You are the best coach for learning how to sing. You have a great voice yourself, and the guy's voice you comment on is absolutely gorgeous to listen to.
Phenomenal song Phenomenal artists Phenomenal time in my life to listen to this music MONSTER. Song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Ren and Chinchilla is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Reaction is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 .... thanks man...I appreciate you 🎉🎉🎉
Chris, I watched your introduction to Ren and appreciated your analysis and commentary on his videos... the insight is amazing and look forward to following you
I could try, and I could try really hard, but I don't think I could enjoy a reaction video more than this. I absolutely adore this song and your reaction to it is fantastic. Love the way you pull the technicalities out and break them down. Really hope both Ren and Chinchilla get the recognition they deserve for this performance. Breathtaking! Great stuff Chris - thank you!
Hi Chris ...I've just spent my whole Saturday evening watching your Ren reactions. I really like you. You have an amazing voice and love your technical expertise reaction to Rens voice. You totally get him. I only discovered Ren a couple of months ago, so I'm catching up on everything, i love him ❤😅This song is so amazingly good. Chinchilla is fantastic and they harmonise brilliantly, they're good friends. As i keep saying, he's a virtuoso of the music world. Another collaboration i think you'd love is Ren and Liv Sangster, singing I'm in love. It's a jamming session. Its fantastic 👏 👌 thank you. Vicky.
You're so right! I see so many recommendations for singers who are technically perfect, in certain ways, and I'm usually left flat, exactly because there's no soul, there's no rawness, no edge, no real emotion. So many just mimic emotion and it just doesn't work, for me anyway. It's usually those slight imperfections that create perfection. Add in a little rawness and real character and I'm there. :)
It is amazing to me that you are coming from a place of the science of singing and I am coming to this as someone who has never had a voice (by popular request) and yet we can both agree on the beauty of this wonderful performance. Great art speaks to us all.
I must have watched this video and like 20 other channels reacting to it, and EVERY time when R&C trail off at the top crescendo of “selves”, that lingering echo washes over me and gives my whole body goosebumps. So so good. 🥹🥹🥹
This one just rips your heart out. They so perfectly embody the suffering and disparity. The echo in that hallway is so organic. I love that he’s such a masterful poet. To say so much with such “simplistic” lyrics that can be interpreted a number of ways depending on where you are at in your own human journey.
Thank you. Your observations really add to the beauty of the song. Ren and Chinchilla are both, individually and as a duo, such gifted artists, they really compliment each other. But to understand the power in their voices was very informative. I listen to them with a new appreciation.
I absolutely loved your reaction ❤️ you actually know what you're doing and speaking of I just discovered you! I'm a opera singer not professionally semi only. I signed up for your free class!
Loving your reactions and the vocal instruction you bring to the table in your analysis. I have watched a few different reactions to Ren and find it funny I have yet to see anyone note the heavy reggae influence on Ren's singing style. I caught this in Hi Ren, and then after listening to his band The Big Push, I realized his voice embodies the reggae singing style. He does a lot of reggae covers where you really hear it, and then you see how intentionally he uses the style in his original songs to fully drive the feeling of hope and passion when delivering his lyrics. My other favorite Ren songs I recommend you check out that leave my jaw dropped open every time I listen: Genesis (Live acoustic version), Money Game, and The Hunger. I haven't seen reaction videos of most of these and would love to hear your perspective and appreciation of his process. Keep it up!
Hiya, just discovered your goodself. I'm all in on Ren and love your analytical breakdowns of his music. Enhances my enjoyment of his catalogue. Cheers Chris 🕊️
Hi Chris, Really enjoyed your video (first time I've seen your channel), it was way longer then what I would normally watch but you brought so much extra to it with your experience and skill I didn't realise the end came so quickly! I am also extremely jealous of your singing voice.. Incredible! Have a Great day!
Just wanted to say thank you for this reaction and support, made me so happy to watch and I found it so interesting. All the love !!! 🫶🫶🫶💓💓🥰
You’re so very welcome!! You two have amazing musical chemistry and it is beyond inspiring to watch and listen to the work you do together! I just finished a video on “How To Be Me” and it should be up next week :) …Another fantastic performance!
Your voice is incredible ❤
Listening to this made me cry and I want to thank you for that. Feeling such genuine beauty made me happy being alive. Thank you so much :)
Chinchilla I just wanted to say, you are a bad ass
Congrats Chinchilla for your touching, moving, beautiful act of generosity.
Chinchilla has 4.9K subscribers right now. Come on people! This woman is a phenomenal talent. We can do better than that!

Made me cry, too.

Sadly, Ren appears to be having a real rough go in the last 3 days or so, new update from him right around the time you posted this comment.
@@lanmandragoran8337 😢 I wish I could do something.
Hey Lan, it's devastating to hear that he set back. Where are you getting your news about him from?
@@antonymification212 if you go to Rens TH-cam channel and go on to the "community" tab.
inspirational for so many of us and motivational for sure, I agree
After watching Chalk Outlines a dozen times, I still get goosebumps and a lump in my throat. Thank you Chris so much for this video!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ren also with Chinchilla please listen to How To Be Me live. You'll go crazy going through that one. :)
You get it! First time watching you and I love your interpretation of this video with such genuine feeling. And how could you not. I get the chills or end up crying every time I watch it. REN and Chinchilla definitely get lost in there music.❤❤❤

Great reaction Chris! do more Ren please. He is so unique! I loved watching your analysis
This song is so amazing, it took me listening several times before I could pay notice to the lyrics. Ren is wonderful and Chinchilla is AMAZING ❤
I love to refer to Rens voice as, perfectly imperfect. So much passion and story telling, it's so beautiful and perfect for his messages. I love him.
❤️👍
And he could do it "perfectly" in a studio setup with all sorts of post-production.

I would start with the Nightwish song Ghost Love Score Live from Wacken 2013. Just a suggestion! Thanks so much for your detailed breakdowns on the vocal aspects. I found you on Hi Ren, and have subbed for the ride. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and thoughts with us all! Blessings to you & yours from Alabama!
Thank you for the suggestion!!! I'll be checking them out as well!!!
@@Microplancakes most welcome! They are my favorite, and absolutely amazing! Hope you find that you like them too! Blessings to you & yours, friend!!!
He can do anything. He has a band The Big Push I shot the Sherrif\Road to Zion\Hip Hop is his Reggae side. The very next song from the same live set is a Warpigs cover where he turns into a Rock God. I have never heard an artist be this outstanding at so many completely different styles.
Thank you Chris. Normally I hate it when people interrupt Ren but you did so always with relevant information and great respect for Ren's performance. I will look forward to seeing your response to more Ren magic.
Your genuine reaction of awe and amazement during that harmonizing duet was priceless!
Really enjoyed this reaction. Your energy was brilliant. This song is actually making want to sing again. :)
I love Chris' reactions here. Shows how deeply affecting this piece is.
Man, your reactions are quite remarkable. I really enjoy your insight and expertise in vocals. I am not a singer, but truly appreciate your view. And REN, holy crap. He’s amazing. Love your passion.
Damn that was a badass and insightful reaction. Subbed.
This is by far the best analysis of this masterpiece. I forgot how amazing your insight is. This incredible piece of music, that is reality for some of us, is the first time in a very long time I have listened to over and over. You were able to put words to what I was hearing that I didn't understand. That amazing upper register harmony and the subtleties and nuances along the way. I believe this is a perfect moment of music. Thank you.
Love and respect from Australia.
mate, tbf, you have a fucking great voice as well. really love hearing these analysis by people who know what they are talking about.
Such a delicious delve into this beautiful performance. I'm vibing off your enthusiasm and never wanted this reaction to end. Thank you
Delicious delve - it was indeed. Perfect description
Ren said that he's watched you for singing advice before??? Good enough for me, subscribed, lol.
Great reaction. I love every minute. It’s obvious you love music and talent.
I discovered Jen yesterday been watching videos about him all day (Sunday) He is a well-rounded guy.with heaps of talent. going to be on my playlist now need to get his CDs .
It’s like she’s reaching for him, feelings as pointed as those fingernails, he’s shaking his head, understands but troubled, empathetic, she backs away
My new favorite hobby is showing all my acquaintances Hi Ren and then Jenny's Tale and seeing their reactions. Another great video Chris!
Great reaction.
I really love how you are not only analyzing this in a technical manner, but really are emotionally into it. Great to watch!
I’ve never seen a video from you but your pure excitement and explanation of why this is so amazing was WONDERFUL. Subscribed.
I’m a boomer who sang folk, rock and jazz before switching to classical and singing opera, then teaching at two major music conservatories in NY and Boston. You, my friend, are a master at getting to the core of what these artists are doing as they play their vocal instruments. Thank you! I subbed and will be back!
Remember how The Mamas & the papas had one voice four people.. four ppl one sound one voice one tone ..! You can feel what they have over come to be their music... Simply beautiful!! Ren an Chinchilla stunningly beautiful sound . I Kno this sickness I am this sickness.. still feeling music... This young voices... !
You are the best coach for learning how to sing. You have a great voice yourself, and the guy's voice you comment on is absolutely gorgeous to listen to.
Brother, you observations & analysis of how incredible Ren is, is brilliant. Loved it.
Probably the best reaction I have ever watched. I just learned so much. Thank you Chris.
Phenomenal song
Phenomenal artists
Phenomenal time in my life to listen to this music MONSTER.
Song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ren and Chinchilla is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Reaction is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
.... thanks man...I appreciate you 🎉🎉🎉
Chris, I watched your introduction to Ren and appreciated your analysis and commentary on his videos... the insight is amazing and look forward to following you
I could try, and I could try really hard, but I don't think I could enjoy a reaction video more than this. I absolutely adore this song and your reaction to it is fantastic. Love the way you pull the technicalities out and break them down. Really hope both Ren and Chinchilla get the recognition they deserve for this performance. Breathtaking!
Great stuff Chris - thank you!
Hi Chris ...I've just spent my whole Saturday evening watching your Ren reactions. I really like you. You have an amazing voice and love your technical expertise reaction to Rens voice. You totally get him. I only discovered Ren a couple of months ago, so I'm catching up on everything, i love him ❤😅This song is so amazingly good. Chinchilla is fantastic and they harmonise brilliantly, they're good friends. As i keep saying, he's a virtuoso of the music world. Another collaboration i think you'd love is Ren and Liv Sangster, singing I'm in love. It's a jamming session. Its fantastic 👏 👌 thank you. Vicky.
As always. Awesome and educational reaction! Thank you so much!
I love seeing how genuinely excited you get about how talented he is. We love to see it!
You're so right! I see so many recommendations for singers who are technically perfect, in certain ways, and I'm usually left flat, exactly because there's no soul, there's no rawness, no edge, no real emotion. So many just mimic emotion and it just doesn't work, for me anyway. It's usually those slight imperfections that create perfection. Add in a little rawness and real character and I'm there. :)
It is amazing to me that you are coming from a place of the science of singing and I am coming to this as someone who has never had a voice (by popular request) and yet we can both agree on the beauty of this wonderful performance. Great art speaks to us all.
I must have watched this video and like 20 other channels reacting to it, and EVERY time when R&C trail off at the top crescendo of “selves”, that lingering echo washes over me and gives my whole body goosebumps. So so good. 🥹🥹🥹
I found your channel today on my journey into scream rap, Ren is my new favorite artist so you got a sub for that :P
This one just rips your heart out. They so perfectly embody the suffering and disparity. The echo in that hallway is so organic. I love that he’s such a masterful poet. To say so much with such “simplistic” lyrics that can be interpreted a number of ways depending on where you are at in your own human journey.
It's cool to know that the imperfections Make the performance better. Love it
This is so far the best reaction video of this song! I'm subscribed!🫶🏼
I've gone down the rabbit hole with the reactions, this was one of the best ones yet. Thank you !
I've watched so many response videos for Ren. Yours was the best. Thankyou for bringing your technical expertise.
Thank you. Your observations really add to the beauty of the song. Ren and Chinchilla are both, individually and as a duo, such gifted artists, they really compliment each other. But to understand the power in their voices was very informative. I listen to them with a new appreciation.
REN fan here! Glad I found my way to your reactions. Liked and sub!
Well happy One year anniversary on this one ❤ I'm rewatching
Heartachingly beautiful. Thank you Chris for the video. And thanks and everlasting Love for Ren and Chinchilla. Just stunning. 💚
Just a magical and emotional performance! Loved it! Loved your reaction breakdown of the technical skill one needs to pull that off!
I agree! And thank you for watching and enjoying with me!
Chris love you brother one of my favorite reactors❤ Ren and Chinchilla are on another level for real...thank you i appreciate you.
I absolutely loved your reaction ❤️ you actually know what you're doing and speaking of I just discovered you! I'm a opera singer not professionally semi only. I signed up for your free class!
Loving your reactions and the vocal instruction you bring to the table in your analysis. I have watched a few different reactions to Ren and find it funny I have yet to see anyone note the heavy reggae influence on Ren's singing style. I caught this in Hi Ren, and then after listening to his band The Big Push, I realized his voice embodies the reggae singing style. He does a lot of reggae covers where you really hear it, and then you see how intentionally he uses the style in his original songs to fully drive the feeling of hope and passion when delivering his lyrics.
My other favorite Ren songs I recommend you check out that leave my jaw dropped open every time I listen: Genesis (Live acoustic version), Money Game, and The Hunger. I haven't seen reaction videos of most of these and would love to hear your perspective and appreciation of his process.
Keep it up!
❤❤I love how animated and excited you get watching this little masterpiece.❤❤
Ren is just phenomenal ,and with chinchilla.... No words 💕
Hiya, just discovered your goodself. I'm all in on Ren and love your analytical breakdowns of his music. Enhances my enjoyment of his catalogue. Cheers Chris 🕊️
Hi Chris,
Really enjoyed your video (first time I've seen your channel), it was way longer then what I would normally watch but you brought so much extra to it with your experience and skill I didn't realise the end came so quickly! I am also extremely jealous of your singing voice.. Incredible!
Have a Great day!
