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!
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
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 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.
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?
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 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.
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.❤❤❤
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!!!!
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 :-)
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..
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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! 🤗😃
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. 🥹🥹🥹
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.
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.
I honestly didn't think there were any other reaction RUclips Channels i liked as much as Charismatic Voice. I found you because of the video you did with Elizabeth and Will. Loving your channel.
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.
Love this reaction! I see this as an addiction video where you handle what life throws at you by doing new habits, which erases you eventually. I see my siblings in every freaking line.
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.
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
This song just embodies 2 lost, abandoned ghost ships traveling rough seas in the darkness of night. They somehow find each other and travel into the horizon together.. still lost, but no longer alone. And, even in the unknown that awaits, there is peaceful security in unity. The chemistry here is so far off the charts.
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.
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 .
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'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. :)
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
You had me at "this interaction is above analyzing"!!! Totally agree... it feels wrong to even try... it's just too pure and perfect. It's like catching an intimate moment with two people on the street,.. you know you should look away but cannot help but absorb the bliss. You cannot ever truly capture the power of those moments in words to retell it... you just have to put it in a pocket in your soul and know you've been gifted a golden moment. Ren and Chinchilla are a thousand golden moments that are being gifted to us and healing people in ways we didn't even see coming and yet needed so much. Ugh, my heart is so broken and yet so full! ❤
This video isn’t about your incredible skills, but shit, you are incredible which makes it so possible for your descriptions make complete sense to those like me that are musically UNgifted. Thank you for your take. I loved this song before I met you. But this reaction was stunning and I love this song even more. Keep them coming brother
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!
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!
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.
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
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.
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.

But make sure you watch the live version :)
@@analisasmith7927 great call out ! I missed that
Wow thank you!! You'll enjoy my upcoming video on the trilogy as well :) !! I'll def add this one to the list!
@@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.
@@Youlookeddidntyou I like that visual very much. Made my day actually :)
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?
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.
He is going to blow up, this is a real artist & deep soul. This song actually made me cry... Also, he looks like Thomas Shelby :)
Made me cry, too.
He's blown up, number 1 in the UK, and around the world. Well deserved
@@sprucemaroosethat makes me so pumped. So happy for him, coming through everything he has been through! Let’s go!!😊
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.
I am so sorry for your loss 😢❤
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.❤❤❤
Ren also with Chinchilla please listen to How To Be Me live. You'll go crazy going through that one. :)
So funny to watch you freak out about how great they sound 😂
Looks like you had multiple eargasms, and I can totally relate 😄
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!
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 X Chinchilla "How to be Me" is ANOTHER beautiful duet!!!! Great reaction!
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
Agreed
being alone is the best. if you have to wake up and need someone you're crazy!
Agreed as well
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.
couldn't agree more!
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
And, of course, I post that comment _immediately _ before you go down that same train of thought 😅

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 RUclips channel and go on to the "community" tab.
inspirational for so many of us and motivational for sure, I agree
Really enjoyed this reaction. Your energy was brilliant. This song is actually making want to sing again. :)
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.

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.
❤️👍

Great reaction Chris! do more Ren please. He is so unique! I loved watching your analysis
Love your review brother you really know so much yet explain it so well even I can understand ty

This gives me hope that great music is still being made.
This song just embodies 2 lost, abandoned ghost ships traveling rough seas in the darkness of night.
They somehow find each other and travel into the horizon together.. still lost, but no longer alone. And, even in the unknown that awaits, there is peaceful security in unity.
The chemistry here is so far off the charts.
Never seen two people feel their lyrics more. Absolutely amazing.
Great reaction.
Brother, you observations & analysis of how incredible Ren is, is brilliant. Loved it.
Your genuine reaction of awe and amazement during that harmonizing duet was priceless!
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.
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 .
I can see how you appreciate, it's brutal in passion & appreciating your channel 👍💪🙈👌❤
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... !
This is a dope reaction. totally dig it bruv!
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. :)
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 🎉🎉🎉
Damn that was a badass and insightful reaction. Subbed.
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
Chris love you brother one of my favorite reactors❤ Ren and Chinchilla are on another level for real...thank you i appreciate you.
Im only 10 mins in and have definetly noticed a diference in my own attempts to sing. Wow thanks. And thanks Ren for existing
You had me at "this interaction is above analyzing"!!! Totally agree... it feels wrong to even try... it's just too pure and perfect. It's like catching an intimate moment with two people on the street,.. you know you should look away but cannot help but absorb the bliss. You cannot ever truly capture the power of those moments in words to retell it... you just have to put it in a pocket in your soul and know you've been gifted a golden moment. Ren and Chinchilla are a thousand golden moments that are being gifted to us and healing people in ways we didn't even see coming and yet needed so much. Ugh, my heart is so broken and yet so full! ❤
REN fan here! Glad I found my way to your reactions. Liked and sub!
This video isn’t about your incredible skills, but shit, you are incredible which makes it so possible for your descriptions make complete sense to those like me that are musically UNgifted. Thank you for your take. I loved this song before I met you. But this reaction was stunning and I love this song even more. Keep them coming brother
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!
Great reaction. I love every minute. It’s obvious you love music and talent.
I love your insight . Thank you for showing me the details in how great this song is .
Ohh my gawd!! Love your reaction,,I'm sooo into your channel Thankkkk you!!
That first verse by Chinchilla is so raw and beautiful, urgh it just hits you so hard.
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!
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!!!
The voice beginning remember me very much Matthew Santos. Underrated singer and guitar player. Thank you for All your work. ❤
I really love how you are not only analyzing this in a technical manner, but really are emotionally into it. Great to watch!
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
I've watched so many response videos for Ren. Yours was the best. Thankyou for bringing your technical expertise.
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.
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
My new favorite hobby is showing all my acquaintances Hi Ren and then Jenny's Tale and seeing their reactions. Another great video Chris!
