Original Song:
• Ren X Chinchilla - How...
![จบจนได้ ! | Black Myth: Wukong #007 [ตอนจบ?]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/DSqvWndF0sw/mqdefault.jpg)
Chinchillas vocal range is stunning. She is at her very best on - 'CHINCHILLA - FINGERS Live for HungerTV'. Such an amazing performance.
I agree. That performance is mesmerising.
Her performance of the live version blew me away. One of the best performances I’ve ever seen.🤯❤️
Another great reaction, Rosalie. 💚
Definitely do Fingers (live). It's an absolutely stunning performance, she puts her whole body and soul into the song.
The control she has over her voice is frankly ridiculous, possibly the best I've ever heard.
She can go from a delicate whisper to a fire-breathing dragon in a single breath, and the piano accompaniment is sublime.
I must have watched it 100 times at this stage between the original and reactions.
And I still get chills every single time, especially at one particular part. You'll know it when you hear it. 🤣
100% hard agree. I can't get why Fingers the Live version (Best imo) only has 95k views...should be at a million and I bet it will be soon :)
@@YoreHistory I have seen a lot of reactors doing this song lately so hopefully it keeps going up 👍
No one is making art like this. They are in a class of thier own.
That build up after they sing, "and it suff-o-cates me", is amazing and breathless. Just beautiful.
Another great reaction Rosalie. Another incredible song, the harmonies between Ren and Chinchilla are on another level and the desperation in Ren’s voice when he says “where is my God where are you?”
Great reaction to a haunting , sad and beautiful song. R.I.P Joe Hughes.
It is absolutely stunning and moving performance by Ren & Chinchilla, Spotify has credits as performed by both and written by Ren, it was written about his very close friend's choice and how it affected him forever since - heartbreaking, the performance so well done by both has a haunting feel to me but beautiful - thank you Rosalie!
Freckled Angels was about Joe. Only the very last line of this song is about Joe. Not that it makes it any easier.
I always wonder when I get to the end if it deliberately ends without the word "badly." The meter suggests that there needs to be 2 more syllables. Which seems fitting - he never got to say everything he needed to. This song hits hard. I can't imagine what it's like to lose a friend to suicide.
In fact if anyone reading this ever feels alone, reach out immediately. You aren't. You matter.
This comment actually made the hair on my neck stand up. ❤
@@thehangingparsiple5692 thanks! that empty 2 syllable part gives me goosebumps too!
I do believe that in music silence is one of the most important tools. A heartbeat of silence tells it all 🤍
No label either. I love the way they keep eye contact. I heard in an interview, that it wasn´t a thing they had talked about, it just came naturally. Of course I already subscribed to both, a month ago I searched on TH-cam and couldn´t find anything from Chinchilla solo. That really has changed. If you havn´t done it yet, please go for Fingers, Gone little girl, Elements, Demand respect… she is fire. I could wish for both for them that they would forget how to be them- just for a moment, and listen to their own music with totally new ears. Like ours. If they both only knew what they make us feel… hope I expressed my self so that you understand what I meant.. thanks Rosalie, its a pleasure to hear your reaction. Hugs from Denmark. Lene61/🇩🇰
Their dissonance makes you feel the chaos that is suppoed to be conveyed. I think this was written when Ren lost a friend. I am so glad I found these artists before they blew up. It will be wonderful to watch their music as it grows and flourishes. So much talent in these two!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I don’t even know what to say about Ren anymore!
Just create an award for him.
Call it the “Holy Sh#t” award.
I am fully in the rabbit hole & I’m chillin in it.
Amazing song! My personal connection to this song is because I have DID. In therapy I have been struggling to find out what I like and who I am because I feel like the childhood abuse that led to the dissociative disorder stole my ability to know how to be me. Super relatable song. Thanks for reacting to this song. It's beautiful and your reactions are my favorite. ❤
From the other side of those struggles: You are all of you. From when you can accept all of you, the dance gets easier. Just think of it as most people are a coin at best, we are dodeacahedrons. Still just one object but with significantly more sides to it. ❤
Breaks my heart every time. Want to hug them both. Extraordinary performance.
He’s praising God because after so long everything that hurt,that tormented him stopped.Alot of people who choose this path often are very calm and at peace when they have made the choice to stop the grey painful world. I know that feeling.I was there 23yrs ago but God wasn’t going to let me off like that.I know most will never understand how a person could get to that point.Thank God that you dont.
This will always be my faviorite song of theirs. The emotion they pack into this performance is so vivid and powerful, it just radiates out of the screen. You can feel it in every facial expression and movement. This is what every song writer should be trying to accomplish with music - words and melodies are just the vehicle. When done correctly, they serve to transfer the energy of these human experiences to others. That's trancendance.
I can't watch and listen to this performance without absolutely bawling my eyes out. ❤😭❤
I’ve found I can get through it if I’m not watching the video, but it still affects me, just without the obligatory tears. It’s so beautiful. 💜
@@denalinde I was even crying while Rosalie was talkin 😂 I have very personal reasons why the song touches me so but I can see how many many could be affected by it ❤️
@@louannlang7471 I too have personal reasons, but somehow it feels like a soothing psalm to me, even though it’s painful. So many of the issues in Ren ‘s life mirror mine, so I can only handle his more serious stuff in dribbles & drablets with scheduled tears & pain during & after, but something about this song in particular gives some calm with the storm. The beauty of Ren. He speaks to us all in ways we need to see/hear. 💜
same. But I can't resist to hear it over and over again. Each time I tell just take in the beauty of the music and than 😭 but pure beauty can also make me cry. It doesent#t need a heavy contant. Same with chalk outlines.
@@denalindethis! Yeah, I desperately wanted to binge when I discovered him, but approached each of his back-catalogue videos with reverence and self care, and allowance for recovery time afterwards. I thought of it as savouring, but it was also protective.
That rationing of maximum 2 per week allowed me both insight, recovery, healing old wounds, hope, respect and a new-found joy in life.
I felt seen, and the fact that two of the people most important to me that I first played Ren for have had the same awe and felt their world shaken. It removed all doubts that they got it, had an idea of the impacts long term chronic disease and disabilty and misdiagnosis can have.
This year the thing I'm most proud of is sharing Ren that first day of 2023. And that I've taken his music and rolled with it, towards navigating better medical treatment and not giving up at "there's nothing we can do" or "your genetic disorder is too rare, so no, we're not going to attempt something different, try this treatment option that has never helped you in the past and caused a lot of damage"
Yeah I need to advocate for myself better, but 20 years of misdiagnosis and anger has left me tired.
One of my big takeaways from Ren is his use of negative space. Its everything that is NOT there that makes the performance shine. Simplicity makes it so personal, it feels like your standing with them, listening along and feeling every note.
Yes ,he never treats his audience like idiots and always leaves you something to think about ,I think this will make his music timeless
One of the best descriptions of overwhelming grief I've ever heard. Always brings tears. Filmed on the bridge where his friend ended his life.
I've seen people say that it's not the actual bridge, and by someone who lives in the area.
They are on a roof top... can see glass door and windows behind Ren, plus brick wall behind Chinchilla... definitely not on a bridge.
Beautiful, delicate song - great reaction and thoughtful message at the end. 🙏🥹
After I had COVID I’d wake in the middle of the night she nights gasping for breath. Since Chinchilla I now warble ‘Oh I can’t breathe! ‘ I love Ten’s music so much.
I had the same experience with Long Covid. I learnt recently that LC is an autonomic nervous system "fight or flight" response which Ren has said his body is also in from the Lymes
I love seeing your total involvement in the music you listen to. You're always so engaged and natural, and that communicates so well through the screen. (Apologies for the gushing quality of this post) ❤
Such a powerful and beautiful song and message. Chinchilla Fingers Live is off any freaking scale!
Hauntingly beautiful!
This song hits so so SO brutally. An homage to a close friend of Ren's that suicided. I've buried too many friends. I can't not cry on this one
Wow, typos. Fixing.
I think the name of the song refers to the fact that some traumatic events can change who you are and your understanding of life and your part in it . The suicide of Rens friend was such an event . I believe that for most of the song he is speaking for his friend and he is in a unique position to do so after battling his own depression and psychosis . I dont think the almost mumbled words at the the end, that carry so much emotion could be made into a whole song, that directly spoke to Rens feelings of loss ,because the emotion would overpower him . His pain at his loss is still so great. Because CNN is trying to paint Ren as a kind of evil pied piper of suicidal teens . I believe reactors need to be very responsible in the way they discuss this song and suggest how people can get help and point out the life changing pain your friends and family can suffer after this kind of loss . I know it is hard to think of everything in a blind reaction but we need to protect Ren his work is a guift to the world . Another song of his ,about this same friend is " Freckled Angel " Thank you for this beautiful ,sensitive reaction .❤❤❤❤❤
I've been so anticipating your reaction to this track, so glad you did the live version too. I don't want this to sound like a slight on non musicians, or like some snobby "creator of art", I'm not, I just happen to have been in a cover band all through my youth, then was a studio sound engineer for many years as a side gig, I'm no artist, trust me.
With that said, I think for the casual listener, it's hard to quantify the level of song writing and performing these two beautiful souls achieved here, on that balcony on a cool breezy night in Brighton. It's a masterclass in how a song should convey emotion, if aliens ever showed up and asked us to explain why music is so much a part of our culture, this video should be given to them. Ok enough gushing, great reaction and synopsis as usual Rosalie!!! Big hugs!! ✌️💚
Such a great insightful reaction👍.
The blend of their voices is hauntingly beatiful in this special track.
Found your channel only like 5 mins ago from Australia , loving the channel so far with the in depth react to “HI REN” 👌 big fan of him and NF
welcome :) and thank you!!
I love your reactions. You've got a beautiful soul and it shows when you're experiencing music. You're so enthusiastic and you have a lot of fun exploring new music!
I think you'd really enjoy Ren - Freckled Angels Live at the Regal. Have some tissues ready.
No matter how many times i hear this. It always leaves me breathless. When you know what this song is about
It's heartbreaking.
So sad that his friend felt he had to end his life.
On the bridge where they sang this song. I belive his body was never found.😒
Rosalie if i wasn't already subscribed you would of had me at "two dolphins"😂i love the way your mind works🤔 i say "works"😂🐦.
Hi,love your Reactions and Ren, well has been on another level. Well you have a new Ren song to review. This one, Animal Flow is just superb, with a big shoutout to animal farm. Looking forward to your Animal Flow reaction.
Chinchilla duet with ren is one of the most spine tingling harmonic energy I've been privilaged to hear
Lovely breakdown of lyrics and message at the end - thank you
masterful analysis. love your insight as always
Hauntingly beautiful Gooseflesh EVERYTIME ❤️
🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥 #Chinchilla an #Ren are amazing together
Loved this reaction Rosalie - it’s such a beautiful song - so glad to hear you are going to react to Chinchilla solo too - she’s incredibly talented! ❤
Chinchilla is a beautiful mix of power and grace. Amazing
For me, this song separates those with a soul, and those who are still trying to find theirs.
Omg, I absolutely love your blouse/shirt, it's such a beautiful color! xo
thank you very much :)
This is such a fantastic performance by them both. I have also really been enjoying your reactions. I would highly recommend you react to another song by Ren featuring bibi called Crutch.
This song was written and dedicated to his friend Joe who, jumped off a bridge much like the one they recorded that on. They never found his body... it breaks me every time I hear the end of this song
Wow, I love your reactions, thank you so much for your appreciation and insight. 🙏
Ren crying at the end.. kills me
Ren wrote this after his friend, Joe Hughes, committed suicide, at the age of just 19 (by jumping off the Menai bridge at around 3.00 a.m. on 28 December 2010 - his body has never been recovered). 😪
Such a beautiful, visceral song.
stunning, I have been waiting to see if you reacted to this and not disappointed :)
Ren's ability and skill allow his fans to hear a brand new artist, every time they listen to their favorite one!
Absolutely one of my favorite videos of ren and chinchilla
They preformed this on the spot where is friend Joe "made a decision late in the night" every aspect of a Ren video has significance 😢♥️
This is a myth. They are on a building. You can sew it behind Ren. It was written for Joe and how his death made him feel, but not done on the bridge
@@angelaprzybylski1425 oh my bad. I thought I read Ren say that.
Hallelujah
I think that they work so well together because they both give so much of themselves.
That was beautiful.
These are two amazing and complex human beings gifted with many extraordinary talents. I know how they make me feel, but I also appreciate the way you think and dissect the reasons those emotions are evoked. I'm always happy to see you reacting to music that already impacts me. I'm intrigued to hear your musical, intellectual and emotional takeaways. Sometimes they are the same or similar to mine, but I always enjoy it when I walk away with new perspectives. You are a delightful reactor and lovely human! ❤
Love it❤
I love your reactions. That’s it.
Oh my God, where are you? Nothing is pulling me through. Amazing lyrics, I love this song.
i cant even clap in time but I still can recognize 2 of the best talents to come along in at least a decade
Their introduction: if sadness had a sound
Chinchilla is phenomenal at her artistry too
Had a friend that ended her life because she was dying from the medical treatment for cystic fibrosis. So the ending to this just killed me and I had to listen to the whole thing again. I love the imagery in the lyrics, almost Telltale Heart. I also love that he sings with Chinchilla, because it takes away from the loneliness of the song, that more than one person CAN sing this song all at once because the pain is not just one person's, even though the experience of that pain is. Dunno if that made any sense.
Im so sorry for your loss as well. This sums up so much that I didn't have words for about why I love this song. It's like her strength, her presence, her gaze carries him along, makes it possible for him to vocalize at all. And none of us are alone.
@@serendipitish ❤
These two bring great harmony
In a community post Ren called Chinchilla his musical sibling recently. Thank you for this beautiful reaction ❤
Those dolphins almost burst my eardrums wearing a headset...
Wanna know who he's talking about at the end... watch his "Freckled Angel's" (Song about his friend!) live track... and the birthday remembernce version!
I love these two live 🤯 no auto tune, minimal sound other than them 💕
Yay im glad this is being covered❤❤❤❤❤
Much love watching in the 🇺🇸 from Cambridge MA
New to the channel and love it. Found it while looking for more Ren content. I thought this song was him recalling fights his parents had before splitting up. He references his mom being alone and sad in another song on Sick Boi.
thank you for reacting to my favourite female artist ever ❤❤❤
This song is has been a constant in my head for a few months now.
so happy u did this vid! if you like this you will also love blinded eye mc sessions! they have alot of verison of this! the one with mc sessions is the one u want
Great reaction to a beautiful song. I would usually ask for more Ren but Chinchilla -Fingers (live version) is simply stunning. 🐇🕳️🖤
Is no one talking about the scary dolphins that Rosalie put in there to jump scare people with headphones on??!!! Holy cow that scared the crap out of me!!!! Aside from that, I always go and watch any video before watching any reaction to it. It allows me to get my own opinion of a song before seeing others. You can only react to a song once, but all these reaction videos allows you to watch the video for the first time again through someone else’s eyes. Rosalie, great reaction to a beautiful and powerful song!! ❤
hahah my bad. thank you for your comment :) I am glad you enjoyed it.
Nailed that reaction. First time watching you. Reaction - subscribed
Thank you :) welcome
Song is for Rens' friend who took his life, supposedly on the bridge where it was recorded.
I listened to this a hundred times and and I just heard this for the first time - their harmonies are so good but Chinchilla's voice is acting as a higher spririt. When Ren loses himself near the end - she takes over the melody and carries it until he comes back - shattered!
Thing I love most about reactors and this channel in particular is you're not afraid to go there... That place we all have that so many people are afraid to talk about in fear of rejection but, you go there and speak on it so well. Ren and chinchilla both have said they love your channel also for the same reasons. Keep on being you bc it works great for TH-cam. Have a great day ❤❤
thank you very much! :)
JUST WATCHING YOUR FACIAL REACTION IS THE GOLDEN!!!!
Great message of support for indies ❤❤
Great reaction Rosalie, I love the raw way that you react and just let the music and lyrics flow over and through you. I love this song by both Ren and Chinchilla. I will say the end absolutely kills me every time I listen to it, how life events, like losing someone you are close to to suicide or serious illness has this ripple effect of destruction and despair for those left behind to try and carry on somehow.
Hey Rosalie, ❤
du verstehst Deutsch wie ich weiß... 😉
Mein Sohn hat mir Eivor vor ein paar Jahren vorgestellt mit exakt diesem Video.
Ihre Musik hat mir über schwere Zeiten hinweg geholfen und letzten Oktober durfte ich sie in Nürnberg live erleben... was soll ich sagen -
tolles Konzert, tolle Frau 🥰. Dieses großartige Erlebnis und das Foto von uns beiden nach dem Konzert werde ich für immer in Ehren halten. 🎉
Übrigens - ich bin auch seit einem viertel Jahrhundert ein großer NIGHTWISH-Fan... 😊🤘 ❤
Ich schaue mir deine Reaktionen sehr gerne an, mach weiter so 👌😍
Liebe Grüße aus good old Germany 👋
Such a beautiful but very sad song
Another beautiful reaction , I love all your ren reactions ❤️ thank u for being u
First off... Thank you! You do beautiful reactions! I've actually watched this one a few times because I am his l huge fan of Ren and Chinchilla both.
I'm also a big fan of your channel and think you do a really good job, not only breaking down the music, but putting a positive message and positive vibe out into the world.
You are awesome!!! Keep it up!!!!
Thank you so much!!
I’ve said it before and even more so on this, you and Ren are peanut butter and jelly. Or lamb and tuna fish if that’s your thing. Deep song, deep reflections ❤
I love starting off by pointing out their independence and I wonder how much this enables them to create works that really resonate with people rather than a formula for a marketing department and music executives quantifying something so beautiful.
I am so glad that your continuing down this rabbit hole the music is so good and deep I have dove in and got deep into it so I am hoping you keep going on this journey too this song is haunting and very deep the songwriting is very much next level as always your ride or die forever Eyyyy Ooooo
Thank you so much for sharing this reaction with us. I appreciate it, and had a great time! Hope you have a great day!
Ren wrote the song and he broke down when he tried to do it. Brilliant and touching song. Some of the notes they hit remind me of the flower duet. The semicolon at the end is the sign for the anti suicide initiative by a woman whose father commited suicide. She also commited suicide after suffering many tragedies. It is hard not to cry listening to some of Ren's songs and sometimes you just give in to it and then enjoy the experience. Here is the clip: th-cam.com/video/HxawFv-zoEs/w-d-xo.html
I cried listening to this. So powerful
This song reminds me of an older era, Duke Ellington or Ella Fitzgerald. There’s a song called Azure Blue, that also chains minor notes together in a pleasing sound but one that has an “off” kind of tension despite the peaceful lyrics (drifting, dreaming, in an azure pool).
Ren and Chinchilla never miss 🥀
The song is about Ren's friend who jumped off the bridge they are standing on! He'd lost himself and couldn't find a way out.
They aren't on a bridge. You can even see the rooftop door behind ren
Enjoyed your reaction,
I wanted to comment on this separately because I feel it's so important to make people aware of. No doubt being an independent artist is the way to go, and a way to keep artistic integrity alive, unfortunately it does not free an artist completely of the greed machine that is "the industry". Not just the music biz, all of them. Every year, more and more companies merge or buy out smaller ones. The level this is happening on needs a new word for it, because a monopoly doesn't quite encompass it enough. These mega mergers are leading to one conglomerate controlling so much of one industry, it's literally impossible for a vendor, or artist in this case, to get a product, their music, to a customer without them, think TicketMaster's more evil older brother.
So here is a really good interview with a guy Cory Doctorow, who's been studying what he calls "chokepoint capitalism" for over a decade. I don't know the guy, not promoting him nor do I benefit in anyway by sharing this link, I'm sharing it for two reasons.......1. It's the best breakdown and explanations of the issue that I've seen so far. 2. Because he is being interviewed by Adam Conover on a YT platform, the interview leans heavily into how this issue affects and controls YT content creators and musical artists. Please don't let the title turn you off, it's not political really at all, it is over an hour, I am in no way requestion you to react to it, just wanted you to check it out and spread the word. Take Care! th-cam.com/video/vluAOGJPPoM/w-d-xo.html
Lovely reaction and what visual analogy re the harmonies- like 2 dolphins- I love that
Such a beautiful reaction! Thank you for this! 💙
I always enjoy your reactions, sweet girl.
Love your mind and how you explain your interpretations of MUSIC ❤
This song gives me GOOSEBUMPS all over!
These young independent artists, are a JOY to experience 😊
Love you & your reactions Rosalie ❤
