And from the inter-verse emerges the mermaid that draws in us hapless sailors with her sweet sweet Siren serenade! In case you haven't heard, you fackin NAILED IT on this!!! 💘
Just to add ; that I am blown away by your talent Chinchilla. Not only are you a technically brilliant vocalist, you have the innate ability to connect so strongly to the emotion of the subject matter, and project that emotion directly into the soul of the listener. I have been a singer songwriter ( I use the word " singer " with a huge degree of artistic licence lol ) since I was a rebellious teenager ( I am 62 years old now ) I have also been involved in promoting music most of my life. I mention this as I have been around musicians and singers for more than 45 years and you move me so very much with your ability to convey the true meaning of a song, with so much beautiful sensitivity and power. Your duets with Ren are " other worldly " THE greatest duet team I have ever witnessed. Thank you and much love to you. 🙏
Just wanted to let you know that your reaction videos to REN are the best and most insishtful, heart felt. Anytime I share a ren video I follow with your reactions, so thank you
Here's another ballad with Chinchilla - HOW TO BE ME (LIVE) - th-cam.com/video/SDR7sup3DsU/w-d-xo.html This is about his friend that committed suicide and performed at the spot of his death.
His song with Chinchilla "How To Be Me" is the one about Ren's friend who committed suicide when they were 19. They sang and filmed the video on the bridge that he jumped off of. Unfortunately his body has never been found. That song is really heavy and it hits me hard because of how many of my friends and family I have lost to suicide. As always great reaction bro!
I think Ren is so mindful of every detail that he might have purposefully sounded "nervous" when he was alone and then more solid when he had someone else to go through it with him???
I thought that initially about Ren's vibrato, as well, but now that I've heard most of his music I've realized that he just has a unique vibrato. It's almost a rapid glottal stop. (Also, their other live duet, How To Be Me, is the one about the friend Ren lost.)
I wonder the age of the people who don't like the perfect imperfection of his voice. Modern music is so manufactered that it is no longer real. Ren is real in ever sense of the word
"How to be Me" is the song about Joe's suicide. This song is about his experience with being medicated/misdiagnosed during his journey with Lyme Disease (as well as his pre-existing Depression?). Specifically this mentions Sertraline, which is the generic for Zoloft, a SSRI antidepressant.
Agreed on the imperfections. That's why I love the live performances. I grow tired of everyone sounding perfect, whatever that is, through filters and such.
Haven't seen a lot of guitarists talking about imperfection in Hi Ren either. I would dream of playing like that in a live take. Seen several from guitar teachers and pros they seem very impressed.
I dont think anything is accidental in his songs and everything is done deliberatly. He breaks the mold and doesnt adhere to the rules of music. I dont think the song would have the impact it does if he sang perfect at the start. Watch his busking videos....he isnt shy and the boy can sing...really sing.
I agree. Ren calls himself an overthinker in his song Bitter Sweet Symphony so I also believe every note or move is deliberate. I think he is an uninhibited performer. There is no doubt his acting ability equals his musical ability.
His songs I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/HipHop, and Bongo Bong, with his band The Big Push are both a great showcase of his singing, without the heavy vibes. And the live How To Be Me with Chinchilla is exactly what you'd expect - incredible.
Can’t wait for the trilogy! There’s a video called ‘The Tale of Jenny & Screech (full)’ which contains all 3 songs in the correct order. 1. Jenny’s Tale 2. Screech’s Tale 3. Violet’s Tale. So many people watch Violet’s tale first.. which kinda messes the story up a bit. But it’s one that might really get you in the feels. It’s intense. But absolute brilliant!
I think he did that weird little vibrato thing that made u think he was nervous on purpose and it sounded good in a bizarre way to me...they recorded this live but they could still have done many takes and he's sung that song a lot live so I don't know why he would be nervous.. also he's acting in those first few lines if you look closely at his facial expressions and eyes. it has something to do with the long entrance, finding the chair, guitar etc. i'm not exactly sure what he's trying to get acrossed but he's definitely trying.
Having watched many , many MANY Ren videos, I'm pretty certain that the imperfections in playing, movements and singing are deliberate to generate the required emotional responses. His acting skills are very much on point, if you look, his nervousness coincides with his words about hoping he is different after taking a new pill, and how he implies that hes not fully convinced. excellent Reaction sir. There seems to be a new development of late following the Hi Ren video, more and more people are using it as a base for their interpretations, Mr Blackburger is my current favourite - Ren loves it. its well worth a look.
Small point, but significant. He was a busker in Brighton. England is somewhat more than London. Could you imagine someone listening to Dolly Parton and saying she was a New Yorker. ……
Great reaction! I lost my nephew 3 yrs ago, and this song is the perfect depiction of how it feels. You do forget how to be you, and these 2 together just pull the emotion out of you. It's like they are looking at each other in desperation. Like they are both begging the other to just hold on. It is so very intense! Like I said great reaction and much love from Texas❤
I think the cracking and imperfections are there by design Or by choice. I mean either he can put them in or leave them out at will- some singers use cracks and breaks for emotion and can perfectly control them. Or, its a part of his natural voice that he is totally fine with- and thinks benefits his songs so makes no effort to hide it. Remember he does these all live in one take so there is no post processing (beyond capturing several audio sources so the guitar can not have reverb etc) - and normally when we do we hear singers that are NOT post processed ? (i dont mean full on autotune necissarily- just touched up). I feel sorry for people who think those little imperfections somehow make it worse. p.s The guitar playing in HI Ren is 100% meant to be like that- he's a great guitarist if youve seen other stuff- he isnt just gonna make mistakes- the strange notes and disonances in Hi ren are PART of the performance and storytelling.
One of the most, if not, the most intelligent reaction videos, appreciate your wholistic view (musically, lyrics, environment, emotional, etc.). Hope to see more of your reaction videos!
love your reactions! keep it up. would love to see you go down the rabbit hole with REN content, his whole catalog is amazing, he is just so versatile. His more rap content, Busking videos and some of his older songs (lHold On by Ren) are simply amazing and are definitely worth a listen.
This was such a good one panda! I can’t wait for you to dive deeper into this rabbit hole, everything he puts out is exceptional. Much love, I liked this one a lot. Hope you’re doing well!
I must admit as a full-blown RENegade I love it when reactors start with an analysis of the reverb and the voice and then just get taken up with the story and the pure passion that makes Ren the artist that he is
I am so look pleased to hear from you again. I loved your reaction, of this. I am glad as well that you have got around to hearing Chinchilla as well. The talent between these two people is just unbelievable, how did 2 such great artists get together, I really don't know the story about they got together. Whether they knew each other from school, did they meet busking in Brighton where he ended up. I don't know would love to find out. I love your reactions, and just cannot wait to hear you react to the trilogy .
I absolutely love the imperfections of rens voice it's raw it's real and that's exactly why he's blowing up now because so many of us are in a weird transition that we are looking for something real that makes us feel grounded
Oh goodness, I’ve watched tons of reaction videos to Hi Ren, and I don’t think I’ve yet seen one that mentioned any imperfection in his singing voice. I love it too. I think It belongs. Thank you for noticing that out loud.
i persoanlly think it's very hard for him to sing this without breaking down. it's a super super sensitive topic he sings about, and if you been through it u know how just thinking about it is hard. This song crushes me every time i listen to it.
Hi, I'm no musician, but I believe those tiny imperfections you were talking about, are actually intentional and help tell the story..you should also check his 'I shot the sherif' sang with his band the big push for a better image on his vocals
This song is about getting used to the feeling that you have or lack there of when you take the pills that they gave you so you don’t feel how you would feel without the pills. The song about losing his friend is also a chinchilla it’s called how to be me
I have an easier time than most people of presenting a very nice and happy face to the outside world. To your point of it being worth doing that because you never know just how much that might help the people you interact with. There's not many people I can't get to smile with me for atleast a second or two and that also helps me forget why I'm watching this reaction nearing 5am to release some bottled up feelings. Ignore me, just being melodramatic and drunk once again. Well done reaction, love seeing people who get it and I like your glasses, they suit you!
In this, he could be terrified. I believe this is one of the First videos that he performed with Chinchilla. Or any other artist that all. On the level; they make incredible music.
Lovely reaction video. I really enjoyed your comments. I don't think Ren was / is particularly nervous though. I would suggest he deliberately evokes a sense of vulnerability, paralleling the sensitivity of the subject matter. The conviction grows as the song progresses and the comfort of someone else sharing the same experience symbolises the strength of realising we are never alone in our struggles ). I believe the opening section of the song is exactly as intended ( Ren is always very meticulous with his choices ) to provoke a feeling of trepidation in the listener ( his beautifully tender treatment of Elvis Presley's " Can't Help Falling In Love " is a great example of this kind of deliberately vulnerable approach and execution, as it really accentuates the mood, in my opinion ) Ren is the ultimate " Method Actor " - he takes himself to the emotional places he has experienced to get the very best out of his performances ) .... but I like that you picked up on it. I hope you continue to embrace, and enjoy, the music of this incredibly talented artist. I agree with you ; Ren's fan base will continue to grow as he is 100% genuine in his sensitivity towards all human beings .... and especially those who struggle with psychological trauma. Blessings brother ( I have liked and subscribed ) 🙏
Exactly, Ren knows good and well what he's doing with his own music. Both Hi Ren and Jenny and Screech show his range of performing character while singing.
@@jice7074 exactly he puts his feeling out in the song's and that's what he wants us to see. I'm totally obsessed with his music. His the one an only who does it right.
TH-cam won't let me edit my prior post, but with regard to showing emotion, I describe a lot of Ren's songs as "cathartically gutting". What I mean by that is that yes, they will get inside you and make you ugly cry, but that experience will heal something--at least a little. Related to that is the fact that Ren is about connection--connecting with his fans, connecting his fans with each other, connecting to reactors...on and on. The ability for us to hold space for each other as we go through whatever deep reactions we have as well as being vulnerable to those reactions in ourselves is a huge lesson and a gift that I have never had from any artist before Ren, and I suspect it is unique to him.
Chinchilla is amazing 👏 i can't understand how she isnt known, seen, heard worldwide. Her voice is beautiful and her style is kickass! And of course Ren... man of a million talents
the imperfection is these songs, is what triggers the emotional response. the rawness is intentional. even in this song chinchilla follows ren as an echo and is off pitch slightly to bring more to the song and then Ren stumbles on the second part to allow her to take the lead.
This song is about his struggles. How to be me is the song he wrote for his friend that took his own life. Either way I love your reactions bro! Liked and subbed 👌🤌👏🔥❤️
I good companion to this song that isn't as sad is "Diazepam" (spelling?). It's about the drug that made REN feel like a chalk outline. Also, the "bury myself with a great big smile" has a sad double meaning. At face value, it's about pushing the feeling down and presenting a happier personna to those in your life. But it also means that ignoring what is happening to yourself and not letting others know about it is literally killing yourself (burying yourself).
I have greatly enjoyed your reactions on the Ren roller coaster. I do agree that you will need to watch the trilogy. However, if you’re looking to bring it back up before hand, I suggest watching his song power or losing it before hand.
hilarious to me that we've gotten to the point that the uniqueness of a live performance in singing, intonation, playing, etc. is distasteful to people today...I'm sorry, I'm sure Ren really struggled to decide whether to rip it live, or to post-produce, run real-time auto-tune, and click tracks. Ridiculous.
I believe that post-production/autotune/click tracks all have their uses. Polyphia, T-pain, and the endless amount of acapella groups on youtube come to mind. However, I still believe there is no replacement for raw undoctored emotion conveyed through a pure live recording.
@@parkinglotpanda I mostly meant to illustrate the absurd divide between generations regarding implementation of musical tools. For instance, Sebastian Bach gave Falling in Reverse/Ronnie Radke crap for needing tracks at shows (absurd), but conversely, people are upset when a raw live show isn't click-tracked or massively post-produced. Its a wild time to be a music fan.
Hi there, as you liked this I really do think you will not want to miss out on this song by her. Search "CHINCHILLA - FINGERS Live for HungerTV". I guarantee you will not regret it for one second. (you can thank me in the video if you like, LOL)
Although tough to watch for people who have had trauma or mental illness, it is in the expressing of the feelings we hold onto that we are healed. I hope you can go off camera and just let it rip.
💓💓 thank you for this reaction and the support!
And from the inter-verse emerges the mermaid that draws in us hapless sailors with her sweet sweet Siren serenade! In case you haven't heard, you fackin NAILED IT on this!!! 💘
You together with Ren... phenomenal... please do more with Ren, Chinchilla. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Whatever issues you have/had, just know - you were amazing here. You are amazing.
Hi Chinchilla - you - and at last we are a part of something really special! Keep on!
Just to add ; that I am blown away by your talent Chinchilla. Not only are you a technically brilliant vocalist, you have the innate ability to connect so strongly to the emotion of the subject matter, and project that emotion directly into the soul of the listener.

No nerves dude, all calculated, he's a storyteller.
PS - here is the video link to the Tales all in one video: th-cam.com/video/TYAnqQ--KX0/w-d-xo.html
Every crack, wavering or quivering note is pure emotion, and what makes Ren amazing to listen to. He is addictive.
Just wanted to let you know that your reaction videos to REN are the best and most insishtful, heart felt. Anytime I share a ren video I follow with your reactions, so thank you
Here's another ballad with Chinchilla - HOW TO BE ME (LIVE) - th-cam.com/video/SDR7sup3DsU/w-d-xo.html

It feels like emotion to me, very deliberate as you say.
100%
EXACTLY Laura 🙏 You totally " get it " 🙏
Agreed, seeing as Ren is the composer, writer, singer, performer, and director of his music and videos I can only assume every detail is intentional.
definately. considering the context of the song I don't think "confidence" is what he wants to project here.
Loved your professional reaction. No digs, no jabs, no snark. Very much appreciated. Made a new subscriber of me. Thank you
I thought that initially about Ren's vibrato, as well, but now that I've heard most of his music I've realized that he just has a unique vibrato. It's almost a rapid glottal stop.

The little imperfections are (perfectly) imperfect !
"How to be Me" is the song about Joe's suicide. This song is about his experience with being medicated/misdiagnosed during his journey with Lyme Disease (as well as his pre-existing Depression?).
Specifically this mentions Sertraline, which is the generic for Zoloft, a SSRI antidepressant.
His ears are SO RED ... clearly some emotions are showing up in his performance . Chinchilla ...c'mon girl ❤❤
Agreed on the imperfections. That's why I love the live performances. I grow tired of everyone sounding perfect, whatever that is, through filters and such.
Haven't seen a lot of guitarists talking about imperfection in Hi Ren either. I would dream of playing like that in a live take. Seen several from guitar teachers and pros they seem very impressed.
Just to be clear, especially in the world that we live in now, there is no such thing as perfection.
I dont think anything is accidental in his songs and everything is done deliberatly. He breaks the mold and doesnt adhere to the rules of music. I dont think the song would have the impact it does if he sang perfect at the start. Watch his busking videos....he isnt shy and the boy can sing...really sing.
I totally agree! If it's in the song, Ren meant for it to be. He is so much more switched on than most of us can grasp...
I agree. Ren calls himself an overthinker in his song Bitter Sweet Symphony so I also believe every note or move is deliberate. I think he is an uninhibited performer. There is no doubt his acting ability equals his musical ability.
His songs I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/HipHop, and Bongo Bong, with his band The Big Push are both a great showcase of his singing, without the heavy vibes. And the live How To Be Me with Chinchilla is exactly what you'd expect - incredible.
Can’t wait for the trilogy! There’s a video called ‘The Tale of Jenny & Screech (full)’ which contains all 3 songs in the correct order.
1. Jenny’s Tale
2. Screech’s Tale
3. Violet’s Tale.
So many people watch Violet’s tale first.. which kinda messes the story up a bit.
But it’s one that might really get you in the feels. It’s intense. But absolute brilliant!
This is correct. The Full version is the complete trilogy.

Chills after chills. Absolutely amazing! Their voices were meant to be together. Ren can't fail!
This isn't the song about his friend that died, that one is actually 'How To Be Me (live)'. This one is about his illnesses and big pharma.
Small point, but significant.
He was a busker in Brighton.
England is somewhat more than London.
Could you imagine someone listening to Dolly Parton and saying she was a New Yorker. ……
Fair enough. Someone in the comments said specifically London, but it's my fault for not researching further. Apologies
Very good reaction brother! This song and How to be me by Ren X Chinchilla are so good.
Also ren how to be me is heavy, and hits me personally like a mac truck
Great reaction! I lost my nephew 3 yrs ago, and this song is the perfect depiction of how it feels. You do forget how to be you, and these 2 together just pull the emotion out of you.

I’m here a year later - 10/25/2024!!!! Loved your reaction! Great song & great reaction!! 🎶🧡
One of the most, if not, the most intelligent reaction videos, appreciate your wholistic view (musically, lyrics, environment, emotional, etc.). Hope to see more of your reaction videos!
I love when reactors catch his Reggae background, he reminds me so much of Sublime and i really like it.
Bawln I deeply feel it inside !! I pray the industry doesn't destroy their raw talent...
Everything Ren does is calculated…..the imperfections are what makes it great…..
I don't think it's nervous it's emotion. He seems to sing from the soul
A genuine and heartfelt reaction to a genuine and heartfelt performance 🙏
Beautiful, raw ad well done for both!!
love your reactions! keep it up. would love to see you go down the rabbit hole with REN content, his whole catalog is amazing, he is just so versatile. His more rap content, Busking videos and some of his older songs (lHold On by Ren) are simply amazing and are definitely worth a listen.

doing better now brother! hope you are as well! and Thanks again for the support as always!
Love your reactions and hope to see more. Can’t wait to see you get to Ren’s newest stuff.
❤Enjoying with you as you went down the Ren journey. You’re a solid insightful reactor❣️
I must admit as a full-blown RENegade I love it when reactors start with an analysis of the reverb and the voice and then just get taken up with the story and the pure passion that makes Ren the artist that he is
Ren is an excellent actor and he sings with the words with amazing feeling as if the pain is real and for him I'm sure it is.
Bro you should do moneygame pt 1 and 2 in one video
Agreed
I am so look pleased to hear from you again. I loved your reaction,
of this. I am glad as well that you have got around to hearing Chinchilla as well.
The talent between these two people is just unbelievable, how did 2 such great artists get together, I really don't know the story about they got together. Whether they knew each other from school, did they meet busking in Brighton where he ended up. I don't know would love to find out.

Unglaubliches Gefühl wunderschöner Song ❤
I absolutely love the imperfections of rens voice it's raw it's real and that's exactly why he's blowing up now because so many of us are in a weird transition that we are looking for something real that makes us feel grounded

i persoanlly think it's very hard for him to sing this without breaking down.
it's a super super sensitive topic he sings about, and if you been through it u know how just thinking about it is hard.
This song crushes me every time i listen to it.
No nervousness, he has a veritable cornucopia of styles of vibrato, and that’s one of them. It’s a crying style vibrato, and it’s on purpose.
Hi, I'm no musician, but I believe those tiny imperfections you were talking about, are actually intentional and help tell the story..you should also check his 'I shot the sherif' sang with his band the big push for a better image on his vocals
The imperfections are perfect in my view and for my taste❤❤❤❤
And this boy can sing!!!
❤❤❤❤❤
Check Rens band the big push and wade in the water if you want to hear him sing!

Ok, now maybe it's time to lighten up, so I recommend Ren - 1990, it's super funny :)
If you want to hear more of him singing, check him out with his band The Big Push!

Chinchilla is amazing 👏 i can't understand how she isnt known, seen, heard worldwide. Her voice is beautiful and her style is kickass!
And of course Ren... man of a million talents
Great ❤reaction this is such an important message
This is one of my favourite songs. Chinchilla and Ren r jst beautiful 2gether ❤
the imperfection is these songs, is what triggers the emotional response. the rawness is intentional. even in this song chinchilla follows ren as an echo and is off pitch slightly to bring more to the song and then Ren stumbles on the second part to allow her to take the lead.
Not nervous, it's emotion. Nothing is done by accident with Ren
This song is about his struggles. How to be me is the song he wrote for his friend that took his own life. Either way I love your reactions bro! Liked and subbed 👌🤌👏🔥❤️
"And then.. yeah.. wow" pretty much sums up all of Rens music
chinchilla has a song Fingers live for hunger tv is a must watch to see her true voice !
Ren is therapy for so many
Using addictions to mask our pain until we fade entirely
You really know an artist is good when someone talks about them like they’re already dead po po po
Love your reactions! If you like this style you should check out Seahaven. They are a small band out of Torrance Ca.
Here's the link to the trilogy - th-cam.com/video/TYAnqQ--KX0/w-d-xo.html - ☮❤Sea Point, Cape Town
Ren is a once in a generation talent a genius 😎👍
Your beard is amazing, friend. You look like a badass viking xx
Well done
Thank you!
If this got to ya, I'd give 'How to be me' with Chinchilla a miss. Great reaction. New Sub
Hold on by ren is a must great artist 🎨
Thank you Panda.
I good companion to this song that isn't as sad is "Diazepam" (spelling?). It's about the drug that made REN feel like a chalk outline.
Also, the "bury myself with a great big smile" has a sad double meaning. At face value, it's about pushing the feeling down and presenting a happier personna to those in your life. But it also means that ignoring what is happening to yourself and not letting others know about it is literally killing yourself (burying yourself).
Beautiful Song. They do a duet "sexual healing" thats also incredible.
I think the nervousness is emotion
I agree Ren is definitely going to be a legendary artist❤
check out the other one he does with her - its a drake cover, like a live street one - love it so much
I prefer the imperfections too. Makes me know he isn’t made of plastic
It's live and not meant to be perfect, therein lies the beauty...
Not nervous, very sad. I think what you're reading as nerves is emotion.😁
I have greatly enjoyed your reactions on the Ren roller coaster. I do agree that you will need to watch the trilogy. However, if you’re looking to bring it back up before hand, I suggest watching his song power or losing it before hand.
Yeah that's not nerves, just his style of vibrato for certain songs, kind of reminiscent of Jeff Buckley.
Demand respect by chinchilla has crazy vocals. Older song but man so good.
Amazing 😢❤
hilarious to me that we've gotten to the point that the uniqueness of a live performance in singing, intonation, playing, etc. is distasteful to people today...I'm sorry, I'm sure Ren really struggled to decide whether to rip it live, or to post-produce, run real-time auto-tune, and click tracks. Ridiculous.
I believe that post-production/autotune/click tracks all have their uses. Polyphia, T-pain, and the endless amount of acapella groups on youtube come to mind. However, I still believe there is no replacement for raw undoctored emotion conveyed through a pure live recording.
@@parkinglotpanda I mostly meant to illustrate the absurd divide between generations regarding implementation of musical tools. For instance, Sebastian Bach gave Falling in Reverse/Ronnie Radke crap for needing tracks at shows (absurd), but conversely, people are upset when a raw live show isn't click-tracked or massively post-produced. Its a wild time to be a music fan.
by the way, both of whom (ren and Ronnie) are amazing musical creators.
Came for the Ren. Stayed for the Panda.
Hi there, as you liked this I really do think you will not want to miss out on this song by her. Search "CHINCHILLA - FINGERS Live for HungerTV". I guarantee you will not regret it for one second. (you can thank me in the video if you like, LOL)
Although tough to watch for people who have had trauma or mental illness, it is in the expressing of the feelings we hold onto that we are healed. I hope you can go off camera and just let it rip.
Hi, did you end up watching the Trilogy? It's not in your Ren playlist. I'm enjoying your reactions, would love to watch the Trilogy as well.
Parking lot panda lol fine I’ll sub.
