This is so awesome! You’re the best!!! Enjoyed myself so much watching this and actually learning stuff I didn’t even know I was doing! Super interesting. Thank you for the support 💓💓😁
This tugs at my heart so much. Ren sounds like he's crying throughout the song and barely holding it together, and Chinchilla sounds like she's feeling that pain. Such a beautiful song.
It’s almost like Chinchilla is Ren’s shadow & puppet master at the same time. She echoes but also pulls him around in the emotional echo chamber. Whether they think of these things or not is almost irrelevant as it’s so organic. These two together are like an irresistible punch in the gut.
These two are like an irresistible punch to the gut! Omg. That was brilliant and you are a brilliant oerson, it was obvious. But you are right! It hurts so bad it feels good!
He felt the love... The angels have him.. they have us... They Kno who we are... They Kno our need they're lead by the music playing carried on the voices of those who still feel him..... 🫂🗣️👣
After watching him work out this song on IG and seeing him cry through most of the versions, I can almost guarantee that hearing it come together with Chinchilla helped with the fry effect. I would never be able to sing this live. My throat closes just singing along with them. This song is the best description of how it feels to lose someone to suicide. My nephew gave up the fight 3 yrs ago and you do forget how to be you, because there is a gapping hole and no way to fill it.
As a friend, grandchild and son to people who have ended their lives I sincerely feel with you in your loss. I as well have lost many tears to this song.
So many young men seem to have given up the fight in recent years in my extended friends group. One that springs to mind is a local musician Jimmy Riddle. So sad. A sculpture has been erected recently.
I know Ren has mentioned that your work has been helpful to him. So, I thank you for helping to expand his vocal horizons as he has impacted me like no other artist in my 56 years.
I've come to think of a nice analogy recently. Ren is one of those artistic masterpieces which underwent total restoration. The layers of veneer and the hardened shell of years of varnish is stripped back. Colour and craft *exactly* how the painter envisioned them, but devastatingly vulnerable. Even his most sincere and dynamic raps have this raw, exposed quality which I've not heard often in my life.
Phillip's wife Susan here. This song helped me a lot last year when I first heard it. I had been feeling lost in myself and the song helped me reconnect with my inner strength and reminded me who I was again.
Chris, thank you for your passion and clarity on this fabulous live version of How to Be Me. This song is so incredibly powerful. I can’t wait for more of the US population to discover Ren and Chinchilla. The live music and Ren’s one takes hopefully will inspire more appreciation for authentic musicians. The folks in the trenches who resist the mind numbing “commercial music offerings.” Commercial music here in the States lacks any emotion and authenticity, IMHO. I will NEVER pay for streaming services. I prefer to purchase and make playlists of artists work that I admire. I don’t need an algorithm to push me towards any other content. Emmylou Harris commented on the loss of intimacy and connection in music in her intro to her song “Riding Alone” on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s Album, Will the Circle Be Unbroken. She said, (paraphrasing from memory here), “We've lost the living room. The living room has gone out of the music, but today I feel like we got it back." That album was filled with jam sessions and live takes and not hyper produced. She saw the writing on the wall.
Ive probably heard this track like 30 times, both the main version, and from reactors. Yet you brought tears to my eyes the water my first hearing did. Thank you. I love all your reactions and I hope that chinchilla interview happens soon!
It was so lovely to hear your appreciation of both Ren and Chinchilla and this beautiful song. It's completely mad that he isn't better known. Thank you for helping to spread the word.
Chris, this was a truly WONDERFUL reaction. One that I have learned, watching and experiencing Ren's music in ANY form. EVERYTHING, and I truly mean everything is done by design. He puts so much CARE and EMOTIONS into every single track. Without it, it would be a GOOD song. With it, it's a masterpiece that people FEEL. One that they are VESTED in. A journey, we so EAGERLY go on WITH him. Chinchilla, has an AMAZING voice and THE perfect compliment to him. But, it's their connection that makes their duets something entirely MORE special. His last phrase, was delivered with the PERFECT amount of emotion AND timing. So much so, we end the song EXACTLY where HE wants us to be. Extraordinarily done. More than that, but I can't think of a BIGGER word. Please, oh please continue down this path. He has a MASSIVE amount of music out there. Thank you for this. Your reactions are done with the UTMOST care and RESPECT. I applaud you, for that and much more.
Ren I wish you well in Canada my friend. Only discovered your music this morning but my god it's hot me to the core. I lost my fiancée aged 44 last year and am in so much pain. I heard you play bass guitar too, so when you're back I will gift you her two bass guitars. Stay strong my friend....you've got this. Love from Southampton, UK 🤟🤟
@Ade Jupe Sorry for your loss buddy, 44 is way too young, life can be so cruel for some people. Lovely gesture, hope Ren will help YOU stay strong as from all the comments, he seems to be helping so many people.
I never liked the idea of picking favorite songs and favorite performances, especially when an artist has such a diverse catalogue of high-quality work like Ren does. And yet, for several weeks now, "How To Be Me (Live)" has 100% been my favorite song and performance. No, not just by Ren and Chinchilla ... by anybody, anywhere. And Chris, what you did at 12:40 might now be my favorite reactor moment, too ... thanks for your brilliance and your passion!
This is at the top of my list of Ren songs. I have been listening to Chinchillas original music as well. The amount of talent between the two of them is incredible ❤
They are changing the face of music as we know it- defying genre, creating their own, without the music industry. I support them any way I can. Ren has a Patreon and he posts a lot, chats, shares behind the scenes. It's a great investment 😊
I've never had musicians consistently give me a physical involuntary reaction as consistently as Ren and Chinchilla. They are just incredible and we are all so very lucky that these two found each other in the billions of people roaming this earth.
Your Analysis of this performance is exelent! Your way of braking it down is really insightful, and not many of the reactors are able to put words on it like you do. As an singer/musician/sound engineer for 40+ years, there is only one thing i like to add (exsept the obvious that Ren And Chinchilla are brilliant together..) is the very clever use of the rewerb..and where not to use it...but you probably got it the second time you litend to it!
Chris, I knew this one would excite you. Have been loving all your Ren reactions. I’m sure chinchillas live version of Fingers will get you equally animated
I feel like it's so common in duets that either the singers seem to mostly compete or one ends up the backup singer or they just sing different sections, it's rare that you get true harmony and give and take but I think this song could be used as the gold standard for how to do this in such a natural way.
Every time I watch this video, when she does the "mmmm" and cries out, chills run up and down my spin. It expresses her emotions in this song....she's got a beautiful voice ❤
Chinchilla has also an impressive background in music, if you look her up you will understand. Lots of work she has put and definitely is paying off in her talent, she is one amazing singer ❤️
This is more of a therapy session than a song. I mean, if you write a song where you try to get into the headspace of your friend on their last fatal night and then choose to perform it on the (i think it is a bridge) where they actually took their own life, then you are doing it for the ritual of it. You do it for closure. And it shows in the emotions.
Every song that I hear of Ren's is my favourite, but this track ... this track holds a special place in my heart and I've never been able to articulate why until now. You hit the nail on the head; this is a hymn, a hymn to love and loss and grief, but a hymn nonetheless. Thank you for your wonderful reaction ❤
Thank you!!! Great reaction and jam! I'm sure lot of others have already told you details of this song so I won't repeat. I just think your raw response to the performers, their words and the song's emotion were beautiful and so very real. The story itself is profound, but what you surmised is profound as well. Thank you so much. I can't wait to hear your next reaction to Ren and to Chinchilla, too! You're in for a delightful ride.
The last line where Ren sings about his friend Joe Hughes, wow, really shows how much he misses Joe, even after many years, heartbreaking. Beautiful song from two special artists, great breakdown Chris ❤
You are the first I’ve done this for, but I LoVe how you react to these 2 and I LoVe your voice as well, I definitely need to check out more, but I appreciate these reactions more than you know, thank you!
What a freaking brilliant REN like reaction. Yes I compared you to ren! I compare maybe two people to our REN, but you two are a perfect match! Keep rocking it! No doubt you are doubting what you were meant to be doing! Congratulations and thank you kind sir!
I love your reactions more than some others. You fully understand the creativity behind Ren. So many just here a song with deep lyrics, but it's so much more than that! He has a creative way at telling these stories & makes incredible decisions musicly as well. Someone like you, who understands composition & how incredible his music is, is such a treat. Keep up the good work, thank you for the wonderful reaction!
this song is my current obsession, i will def look further into Chinchilla! love that you can hear and point out all the cool things about this song, which makes me love it even more and more deeply
Can’t stop watching these. Ren and Chinchilla are both incredible in their own rights but together they have incredible chemistry and just bring it to another emotional level. Chris is so amazing - love his unfiltered emotional reaction and connection to the music coupled with raw technical talent and ability to describe what is happening technically.
I always LOVE watching your reaction video's Chris. Your enthusiasm is so addictive and your break down of what is actually going on vocally is incredibly educational. Such passion for your craft is impossible to fake. You are so attentive to every single nuance. The most wonderful thing about you, though, as a vocal coach is ; even though you explain techniques, your focus seems to be more about expression of the self through the medium of singing, rather than simply striving for a technically wonderful vocal. The emotion HAS to be as important as anything when we are critiquing that which is basically a form of communication. This is the reason why I, personally, have always gravitated to the singer who can convince me he / she means every word, as opposed to someone who merely has a beautiful voice. When we are graced with the two elements in total unity, our very souls are touched so deeply. 🙏 Thank you Chris x
Yes! I have been eagerly awaiting your reaction to this and you did not disappoint. Anyone who hears this can appreciate the beauty of this song. Your musical knowledge and passion allow for a deeper appreciation and I really enjoy seeing that. You at 6:05 is exactly what I'm talkin about. I knew you were going to geek out. Love it. ❤
Everytime I listen to this song, it brings tears into my eyes and chills all over my body. Their performance, their autenticity, the rawness plus the story behind it... It´s amazingly beautiful!
I love her “jah” note on Halelujah; it feels like a flat when I’m expecting a nice harmony on the note. But then the third time she sings it, she adds an extra note that goes up before settling on the “jah,” and it’s like it explains it: oh, that’s why you were going there and avoiding resolution…you were just delaying it. :) Thanks for this detailed vocal review of my favorite Ren song. I heard it the first time and was like “this is superlative, isn’t it? What am I missing here?”
So amazing seeing your connection to the music! I came here via the Charasmatic Voice. You respond like her, with kinestetic reactions to performances! Loving it! And yeah, they are that good! 💜💜💜
GREAT reaction! The best I’ve seen (by far) to this song. You reacted almost exactly the same way as I did at the “mmmm…….” parts; you felt it as much as I did. Such a beautiful song; I’m so happy you’ve reacted to this. Also happy that you enjoyed it as much as you clearly did. I think it’s my favourite Ren song. Chinchilla is stunning, too! I could listen to her sing forever and not get tired.
Thanks so much Chris for reacting to this song! You were obviously touched by the passion in the song! It’s my favorite REN song and he and Chinchilla are so amazing together!
I love watching how you physically move in your reaction videos because it exactly visualises how I feel music but I could never get anyone to understand or agree with me xx
I absolutely love your channel. I truly have the upmost respect and faith in you as a human being for this reason. Your channel and brand had been based primarily on vocals through song yet you continue to use your platform to celibrate Ren's rap and allow it to shine just as bright as a power ballad and always make it a point to showcase his incredible talent. The world needs more positivity and people like you. He has become important to all of us and seeing large platforms giving his art the love it deserves is beautiful. ❤
His talents are just a joy to watch, and Chinchilla works perfectly with him!! We’re lucky they found each other! Excellent analysis from you and I enjoyed seeing your excitement so many times throughout this one!
I love your reaction to this video, especially at @13:33. I did the same thing because Ren and Chinchilla's voices are sooooo good together. Keep it up man!
I would call this "singing through the mask"... so much love the song, and love the reaction aswell. thank you. Greetz from Germany! It is my fav Ren Song, btw
That was amazing. Great vocal analysis ❤❤ What I like is that, this performance was very well engineered yet exuding emotions at the same time. Ren is a smart dude
I love your Mad Scientist energy. I can only imagine that would be what I would be like, if I tried to teach anything. Maybe with more jumping out of my chair and laughing maniacally. You get so excited and can't contain it, and I feel that.
This is so awesome! You’re the best!!! Enjoyed myself so much watching this and actually learning stuff I didn’t even know I was doing! Super interesting. Thank you for the support 💓💓😁
Love you Chinchilla! Hope to see you live, you’re just AMAZING ❤❤❤
Greetings Chinch. You deserve the recognition for your amazingly emotional voice. Carry on feeling and expressing the music your way. Take care x
So glad you enjoyed!! Would you be interested in maybe doing an interview on the channel?
@@chrisliepe let’s doooo it man!
@@chinchilla_music Yaaayy :) Can you email me at info@mymusicalvoice.com and we can set up a time to chat and scheme?
Made even more profound by the fact that they are recording this on the same bridge that his best friend (Who this song is about). took his own life.
Ren seems to be what music needs right now with all the processed music that is being created.Its like back to talent and authenticness
Hopefully more artists are inspired by Ren and go back to making music like this.
Authenticity.
Yessssss... Authentic, human, unprocessed, real, empathic...vulnerable , not machined....et al... agree!
@@dennisrowan1704 it is processed but I take your point.
Hallelujah and Amen!
Ren and Chinchilla duetting is like watching a couple make the sweetest and most gentle love possible
THIS SONG SHOULD WIN A GRAMMY!
Agreed!
Yessssssssssssssss....Ren should get every single GRAMMY there is... phenomenal is an under discription.
Hi Ren is even better!
@@officialWWM Of course but not the type of song that could be played on a stage at the Grammys or win a Grammy as it is a performance piece.
Concur!
He has tear streaks at the end, if you look closely. The guy's just a ball of genuine-ness and genius.
Absolutely!! Ball of genius-ness?! Fact!!
This tugs at my heart so much. Ren sounds like he's crying throughout the song and barely holding it together, and Chinchilla sounds like she's feeling that pain. Such a beautiful song.
Her performance perfectly captures the pain of watching someone you love hurting and the helplessness that entails.
That's exactly how I felt it❤
Better than any live performance you'll see at any music awards.
It’s almost like Chinchilla is Ren’s shadow & puppet master at the same time. She echoes but also pulls him around in the emotional echo chamber. Whether they think of these things or not is almost irrelevant as it’s so organic. These two together are like an irresistible punch in the gut.
These two are like an irresistible punch to the gut! Omg. That was brilliant and you are a brilliant oerson, it was obvious. But you are right! It hurts so bad it feels good!
I always play this after Chalk outlines. This was written for a friend that committed suicide,jumped off a bridge and his body has never been found.
RIP Joe Hughes.
This was performed on that bridge too 😢
He felt the love... The angels have him.. they have us... They Kno who we are... They Kno our need they're lead by the music playing carried on the voices of those who still feel him..... 🫂🗣️👣
Freckled angles was written for him as well I believe
@@inuchan74 I love Freckled Angels ❤

💜
So many young men seem to have given up the fight in recent years in my extended friends group. One that springs to mind is a local musician Jimmy Riddle. So sad. A sculpture has been erected recently.
Oh man,your comment alone got me tearing up. ((Hugs))
I’m so sorry for your loss. Sharing your story will help others. Stay brave. Prayers to anyone else struggling. God bless
I know Ren has mentioned that your work has been helpful to him. So, I thank you for helping to expand his vocal horizons as he has impacted me like no other artist in my 56 years.
The chemistry and mutual respect they have for each other as an artist comes through in everything they do. It’s just incredible.
His crying at the end... breaks my heart
I've come to think of a nice analogy recently. Ren is one of those artistic masterpieces which underwent total restoration. The layers of veneer and the hardened shell of years of varnish is stripped back. Colour and craft *exactly* how the painter envisioned them, but devastatingly vulnerable. Even his most sincere and dynamic raps have this raw, exposed quality which I've not heard often in my life.
Ren is the colors and lines of a painting, Chinchilla is the light source within
Phillip's wife Susan here. This song helped me a lot last year when I first heard it. I had been feeling lost in myself and the song helped me reconnect with my inner strength and reminded me who I was again.

The Chinchilla interview happened! th-cam.com/video/_Jt9ohkYjFs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0cmfHCTRdojFpaM5
It was so lovely to hear your appreciation of both Ren and Chinchilla and this beautiful song. It's completely mad that he isn't better known. Thank you for helping to spread the word.
Chris, this was a truly WONDERFUL reaction.
One that I have learned, watching and experiencing Ren's music in ANY form.
EVERYTHING, and I truly mean everything is done by design.
He puts so much CARE and EMOTIONS into every single track.
Without it, it would be a GOOD song.
With it, it's a masterpiece that people FEEL.
One that they are VESTED in.
A journey, we so EAGERLY go on WITH him.
Chinchilla, has an AMAZING voice and THE perfect compliment to him.
But, it's their connection that makes their duets something entirely MORE special.
His last phrase, was delivered with the PERFECT amount of emotion AND timing.
So much so, we end the song EXACTLY where HE wants us to be.
Extraordinarily done.
More than that, but I can't think of a BIGGER word.
Please, oh please continue down this path.
He has a MASSIVE amount of music out there.
Thank you for this.
Your reactions are done with the UTMOST care and RESPECT.
I applaud you, for that and much more.
Ren I wish you well in Canada my friend. Only discovered your music this morning but my god it's hot me to the core.
I lost my fiancée aged 44 last year and am in so much pain. I heard you play bass guitar too, so when you're back I will gift you her two bass guitars.
Stay strong my friend....you've got this.
Love from Southampton, UK 🤟🤟
Very sorry for your loss!
@Ade Jupe Sorry for your loss buddy, 44 is way too young, life can be so cruel for some people. Lovely gesture, hope Ren will help YOU stay strong as from all the comments, he seems to be helping so many people.

@@chrisliepe RenChillLiepe is a golden vocal triumvirate for the ages. Cheers!
Thank you Chinchilla you 2 are So incredibly wonderful together.
Every time I hear this song, I think of how vulnerable his voice sounds. I love this song. Ren is incredible.
I could literally listen to both of them sing together for the rest of my life
This song is so beautiful. You should check out some of chinchillas solo songs. She has a live version of her song fingers that's amazing!
Oh, I've been diving in!!!
@Chris Liepe I love your reactions, can't wait to see more ❤️
I can't breathe when I listen to this song. Between the lyrics and the haunting vocals. It literally takes my breath away.
Very like Damien Rice and Lisa hannigan.... they compliment each other and also haunting.
This is at the top of my list of Ren songs. I have been listening to Chinchillas original music as well. The amount of talent between the two of them is incredible ❤
They are changing the face of music as we know it- defying genre, creating their own, without the music industry. I support them any way I can. Ren has a Patreon and he posts a lot, chats, shares behind the scenes. It's a great investment 😊

That Moment when I thought he was going to excuse himself to clean up... 6:09
Chris, I knew this one would excite you. Have been loving all your Ren reactions. I’m sure chinchillas live version of Fingers will get you equally animated
Yes! 💯
+1 for Fingers live!
6:10 It was at this point that Chris had an Eargasm on Camera! 😂❤️
6:23 ohhh.... And another 😂😂😂❤️💀🫠
😂👍💯❤️
🤣👌
You should definitely watch them busking together. The chemistry is so pure.
I feel like it's so common in duets that either the singers seem to mostly compete or one ends up the backup singer or they just sing different sections, it's rare that you get true harmony and give and take but I think this song could be used as the gold standard for how to do this in such a natural way.
At 11:00, they make a canon, for those who want to know, this is the name of the technique.
damn my guy! you got a set of pipes on you too!
Great reaction to a fantastic song/performance - I really hope that Ren and Chinchilla see this. I am sure they will appreciate your comments
Ah, thank you for doing this one. Chinchilla is one of the most amazing singers I've heard. Her live version of "Fingers" is astonishing.
I agree 10000% , a must see.
Loved this reaction to one of my very fave Ren songs
Ren and Chinchilla both could give so many artists a run for their money.
Every time I watch this video, when she does the "mmmm" and cries out, chills run up and down my spin. It expresses her emotions in this song....she's got a beautiful voice ❤
Chinchilla has also an impressive background in music, if you look her up you will understand. Lots of work she has put and definitely is paying off in her talent, she is one amazing singer ❤️
Both of them are clearly amazing as Solo Artists, but what they create together is beyond Magic !
Got goosebumps the first time I heard this at that first rise from Chinchilla...from your reaction at that point, I'm not alone :)
The reason he wrote this is why it resonates so much too..... true channeled energy.
Have you checked out 'Crutch' ft Bibi yet?
Ren and chinchilla are immense together. Thankyou for such a brilliant breakdown. This version is definitely my favourite
What a reaction! Talk about breaking it down. Ren and Chinchilla are brilliant on their own, but together they are a gift from the gods.
This is more of a therapy session than a song. I mean, if you write a song where you try to get into the headspace of your friend on their last fatal night and then choose to perform it on the (i think it is a bridge) where they actually took their own life, then you are doing it for the ritual of it. You do it for closure. And it shows in the emotions.
Beautifully put.
this hasn't been filmed on menai bridge. you couldnt record a song there as there's always cars going over it
I think he had an ear-gasm at 6:10 😂 And we all had, absolutely beautiful.
I love Ren. I love Chinchilla. Together, I am blown away every single time. Love your reaction as always, thank you!
Every song that I hear of Ren's is my favourite, but this track ... this track holds a special place in my heart and I've never been able to articulate why until now. You hit the nail on the head; this is a hymn, a hymn to love and loss and grief, but a hymn nonetheless.
Thank you for your wonderful reaction ❤
Thank you!!! Great reaction and jam! I'm sure lot of others have already told you details of this song so I won't repeat. I just think your raw response to the performers, their words and the song's emotion were beautiful and so very real. The story itself is profound, but what you surmised is profound as well. Thank you so much. I can't wait to hear your next reaction to Ren and to Chinchilla, too! You're in for a delightful ride.
When these two sing, I forget about everything else. I’ve never been so captivated in my life. It’s an amazing feeling. ❤
That was a great reaction, thank you!
The last line where Ren sings about his friend Joe Hughes, wow, really shows how much he misses Joe, even after many years, heartbreaking. Beautiful song from two special artists, great breakdown Chris ❤
You are the first I’ve done this for, but I LoVe how you react to these 2 and I LoVe your voice as well, I definitely need to check out more, but I appreciate these reactions more than you know, thank you!
What a freaking brilliant REN like reaction. Yes I compared you to ren! I compare maybe two people to our REN, but you two are a perfect match! Keep rocking it! No doubt you are doubting what you were meant to be doing! Congratulations and thank you kind sir!
A great and insightful reaction to a beautiful song.
I love your reactions more than some others. You fully understand the creativity behind Ren. So many just here a song with deep lyrics, but it's so much more than that!
He has a creative way at telling these stories & makes incredible decisions musicly as well. Someone like you, who understands composition & how incredible his music is, is such a treat.
Keep up the good work, thank you for the wonderful reaction!
this song is my current obsession, i will def look further into Chinchilla! love that you can hear and point out all the cool things about this song, which makes me love it even more and more deeply
Can’t stop watching these. Ren and Chinchilla are both incredible in their own rights but together they have incredible chemistry and just bring it to another emotional level.
Chris is so amazing - love his unfiltered emotional reaction and connection to the music coupled with raw technical talent and ability to describe what is happening technically.
I always LOVE watching your reaction video's Chris. Your enthusiasm is so addictive and your break down of what is actually going on vocally is incredibly educational. Such passion for your craft is impossible to fake. You are so attentive to every single nuance. The most wonderful thing about you, though, as a vocal coach is ; even though you explain techniques, your focus seems to be more about expression of the self through the medium of singing, rather than simply striving for a technically wonderful vocal.

How incredible is this song!!! I really appreciate your analysis - thank you!
Simply the best vocal analysis on the net!!!! Thanks so muchhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! keep doing what you do. Stunning analysis and music.
I would SO love to see you react to Chinchilla’s VERO live performance of her song Fingers. It’s absolutely fantastic.
С каждым новым видео я влюбляюсь в Рена ещё больше🥹🥹🥹

Your musical knowledge and passion allow for a deeper appreciation and I really enjoy seeing that. You at 6:05 is exactly what I'm talkin about. I knew you were going to geek out. Love it. ❤
That sequence needs to be clipped for a short. 😉
I am SO much #2 in this 7:00. I have a baritone voice but can hit weirdly high notes, but I can't do them without making those transition "sounds."
This meeting was meant to be. Chinchilla is coming.
Everytime I listen to this song, it brings tears into my eyes and chills all over my body. Their performance, their autenticity, the rawness plus the story behind it... It´s amazingly beautiful!
Your reaction sure optimizes the value of the performance in perfect blend. Now we have three artists collaborating.
I love her “jah” note on Halelujah; it feels like a flat when I’m expecting a nice harmony on the note. But then the third time she sings it, she adds an extra note that goes up before settling on the “jah,” and it’s like it explains it: oh, that’s why you were going there and avoiding resolution…you were just delaying it. :) Thanks for this detailed vocal review of my favorite Ren song. I heard it the first time and was like “this is superlative, isn’t it? What am I missing here?”
So amazing seeing your connection to the music! I came here via the Charasmatic Voice. You respond like her, with kinestetic reactions to performances! Loving it!
And yeah, they are that good! 💜💜💜
Welcome to the channel! So glad you're enjoying the videos! Elizabeth is great to work with :)
@@chrisliepe yeah I can see it in your interactions. Keep doing what you are doing and I will keep soaking up the knowledge and entertainment 💜
I live for the sound you make at 13:35. I've watched this at least 10 times. As a singer, Ren X Chinchilla X Chris Liepe makes for great viewing!
So brilliant to hear your total admiration of this utter masterpiece, not only in songwriting but their performances too. It is completely sublime.
Yay! More Ren! Thanks Chris, love your reactions, and your insight into music. Hope you do more, and take care.
Great in depth reaction cheers , Ren ,Chinchilla & his friends are all
talented and are a beacon of light in these dark days post Covid......
You can feel his emotion in his voice due to this being about his close friend that took his own life😢 even sad...still amazingly beautiful
GREAT reaction! The best I’ve seen (by far) to this song. You reacted almost exactly the same way as I did at the “mmmm…….” parts; you felt it as much as I did. Such a beautiful song; I’m so happy you’ve reacted to this. Also happy that you enjoyed it as much as you clearly did. I think it’s my favourite Ren song. Chinchilla is stunning, too! I could listen to her sing forever and not get tired.
Just awesome everything he does, from who he works with, to what he creates
Ren bare his soul with his music which is part of makes so beautiful and emotionally raw
Thanks so much Chris for reacting to this song! You were obviously touched by the passion in the song! It’s my favorite REN song and he and Chinchilla are so amazing together!
Yeah. We're never the same again after we've heard it. Just out of this world.
I love watching how you physically move in your reaction videos because it exactly visualises how I feel music but I could never get anyone to understand or agree with me xx
Your awesome girl!!!! Keep on keeping on!
I absolutely love your channel. I truly have the upmost respect and faith in you as a human being for this reason. Your channel and brand had been based primarily on vocals through song yet you continue to use your platform to celibrate Ren's rap and allow it to shine just as bright as a power ballad and always make it a point to showcase his incredible talent. The world needs more positivity and people like you. He has become important to all of us and seeing large platforms giving his art the love it deserves is beautiful. ❤
Her voice is angelic....
His talents are just a joy to watch, and Chinchilla works perfectly with him!! We’re lucky they found each other! Excellent analysis from you and I enjoyed seeing your excitement so many times throughout this one!
I love your reaction to this video, especially at @13:33. I did the same thing because Ren and Chinchilla's voices are sooooo good together. Keep it up man!
I would call this "singing through the mask"... so much love the song, and love the reaction aswell. thank you. Greetz from Germany!
It is my fav Ren Song, btw
Lovely reaction and as always very well explained to the layman like me! Watch out for Chinchilla's new music which is coming soon.
This is my favourite song as well. Love both of them!
That was amazing. Great vocal analysis ❤❤
What I like is that, this performance was very well engineered yet exuding emotions at the same time. Ren is a smart dude
That bit here they mmmmmmm into the oh, I can't breath, sounds like crying to me.
It totally does!
LoOL... that Eargasm you had was epic... Stay awesome Chris. Brilliant reaction yet again.
RIP Joe Hughes
Still getting goosebumps and tears in my eyes after all these times watching and listening
Ren is currently unmatchable! Really art!
I love your Mad Scientist energy. I can only imagine that would be what I would be like, if I tried to teach anything. Maybe with more jumping out of my chair and laughing maniacally. You get so excited and can't contain it, and I feel that.
