![I'M SHOCKED!! Ren X Chinchilla - How To Be Me [ REACTION ] Haunted house on fire!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/kGgFCCvcBiM/mqdefault.jpg)
Ren is 33, nearly 34.
The first artist who's made me sad I'm so much older than they are, because I might not live long enough to experience all of their music. (But hey, there's another incentive to live a long and healthy life!)
You can do it! I'm aiming high! 280 years old! Wanna aim at something ridiculous!
Yes. Being 74,I feel the same. But I'm aiming high.
Otherwise might have to hang around as a ghost!
@@francesdoll4039 I DEFINITELY plan to do that! 😂
Something to live for ❤
Hey Izzy, this is the first song you’ve reacted to in which Ren references Joe. You’ll soon learn about Joe. Now, go off and have an inspired day. 😘❤️✌️
Thanks Abby!
Ren has lived a difficult, painful life but somehow (it boggles my mind) instead of turning to bitterness and despair he was able to bring out these small blinding gems of honesty and sorrow and hope that speak deeply to so many souls. I can honestly say that my life is better after finding his work and I don't think there's higher praise for an artist. Glad you're now here with us for the journey. 🌻❤️
Thanks! I saw something the other day, it was something like; you can wish for an easy life or a strong character, you can't have both. True, I think.
I just want to say I love your demeanor and voice. Very calming. ❤
Thanks Kelly! I appreciate you saying so!
🥺 really moving reactions to their duets, and yes, both co-written by Chinchilla. They’ll be dropping another one soon, and Chinchilla said just a few days ago, “I love the [new] song we wrote… My fav of all the songs we’ve done together 🥺😱”
Really loving your reactions Izzy, appreciate you so much 🫶
Thanks! Appreciate you, Elle!
Ren is now 33. A beautiful heart breaking song, sang beautifully.
Thanks for the info. I agree!
Yes, I prefer it too. And I always tell people Ren is like a modern day Bowie 👍. Loving your reactions x
Yes sir
Yes! Thank you!
I loved your reaction and How to Be Me edges Chalked Outline just a bit for me. I can't wait to see what Ren X Chinchilla have been cooking lately.
Thanks! Yeah, I'm looking forward to that too!
Seven Sins, the opening track from the Sick Boi album, for Ren doing studio magic under powerful bars as the kids say.
Thanks! It's on the list!
REN is just pure energy - just able to be everywhere in the music spectrum.
Can’t wait for the Jenny, Screech & Violet Tale. Also Bongo Bong cover is a fun one from the Big Push
Swan Song 🥰🙏🏼
I concur
The Tales will be up on Sunday or Monday, depending what time I can find. Wanna make sure I'm in the right place with no distractions to react to that one for sure! Thanks for being here!
I'm now a year in to my 'addiction' :) and still glad to have found a new channel i enjoy so i can have another journey.A newer vid that has become one of my favs is Ren-Spontaneous Strean Jam.Just him and a guitar impromptu on one of his Twitch streams,so good,would love to see your take on it.If you fancy seeing how incredible Chincilla is also i would suggest 'Fingers-Live for Hunger TV' I get chills every time i listen,which is a lot :) There is 2 vids of them busking together if you just want something to make you smile,kindred spirits and they are both contagious :D
Yes please ❤❤
Thanks! They're on the list!
Yep! When Hi Ren dropped over a year ago now, it dragged me down into the Rabbit Hole, and here I've stayed. I'm living here forever ❤
Thanks again for shining a light on Ren and Chinchillas art.... Ren is 33. Check out Ren and Sam Tompkins busking - Earned It, Mans World, Falling.... I think you will like ! Thanks
Thanks for being here!
Izzy, you lit up some during that one- love to see your sparkle! Ren just does whatever the hell he feels like and he takes his fans on that journey. There are countless comments on YT, FB, IG along the lines of "Now I like rap? What's happened to me?" and "I haven't made art, music etc in X years, but Ren has inspired me!" and "I haven't been excited by an artist since way back when, but Ren has captivated me!" So much fun!
Thanks Lou! It is fun!
That simple little song is my favorite from Ren. ❤
A song as soulful as this deserves your soulful reaction! Yeah, I've been through many dark nights of the soul myself. Ren and Chinchilla help remind me that often the darkness can be molded into something as beautiful and haunting as this song.
Thanks!
I am literally obsessed with chinchilla!!
Oh I love both of them but she is such an empowering woman!!❤
REN turns 34 on 29/3/24. You are gonna love the diversity of REN! There’s literally a style for every mood 😂🖤
Awesome!
The "How To Be Me" video was released when Ren was 31 years old.
This is one of my favs. I think we all resonate with this song since we have all forgotten how to be ourselves at one point or another 🤗💜💜
Yeah, I kind of think it's an essential part of the journey.
❤ #ren #chinchilla
Beautifully haunting ❤
I agree!
Ren and Chinchilla, always a winning combination! Another example of how Ren inspires us to face our own demons. ( Ren recently teased us with a few seconds of Chinchilla recording for a new release.) Thanks Izzy!
Thanks Bonnie!
Such a classic performance, incredible.
Ren will be 34 in March. Subbed, nice reaction. Thanks.
Thanks Kelly!
Ren is a talent for sure all can enjoy I believe he really emotes well through his music and people FEEL it... and that's rare. He really hits on point. I also think He a muso's musician, Those of us that do can see the extra mile Ren seems to go. The raw performances are so special even if they are imperfect.
I agree! Who wants perfect, Real wins every time!
hello dear!! this is getting to be a nice habit for me, waking up and enjoying your enjoyment of the genius of ren!! i appreciate your reactions, dude!!!!!!!!!!! he inspires me also. kathleen bts renegade
Hi Kathleen! Glad to hear you're enjoying it!
Missing the mark is the correct translation
Its a great explanation for when we forget who we are too
💕
Hi Izzy - I was watching a (long 😊) video today celebrating 1000 reactions to Hi Ren. Around the 40 min mark, the channel highlighted snippets from 10 different reactions and there was a brief snip of you. That’s how I found your channel. Very much enjoying your Ren journey. New sub.
Thanks for being here! I saw that video. Cool that they included me!
Bowie is an apt comparison in terms of range, growth over time, pure talent, unflinching humanity, versaltility, collabs and emotional intelligence. Except, of course, Bowie had a label and received tremendous airplay. Ren is still, despite the tremendous back catalog, virtually unknown with no commercial play or industry recognition.
I get that. But I'm sure he'll get the recognition he deserves at some point. "It's all part of His plan".
This is such an incredibly beautiful and powerful song. Love this one! Another great reaction Izzy ❤❤
Thanks Kat!
Enjoyed your reaction, man. The first time I heard this I was just blown away. I remember being spellbound and at the end having a deep sense of sorrow that I would never again be able to hear for the first time. The only other song that's come close to giving me that feeling was Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah. Subbed to join you on your Ren journey...
Thanks! It does have Buckley vibes. His vocal has got a bit of that style.
Welcome aboard the Renegade Express 🚂🚂🚂. Gotta check out Ren x Chinchilla busking videos. Plus him and Sam Tompkins 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks! All that's on the list.
#RenMakesMusic #Ren #CHINCHILLA 🔥🔥!! 🌎🧡
Loving your reactions to Ren and The Big Push 💗 I'm sure you are being swayed by many to react to the tale of Jenny and Screech. All I can say is I will get the popcorn ready to watch you react to that one. Cheers
Thanks tracy! It's coming very soon!
@@IzzyIzenstain Ren is be built different. So talented, so unique. The dexterity in his story telling for this song is like no other. He's like a modern day minstrel.
I knew this one would hit home for you it does for a lot of people! Loving your truthful reactions! 🫶
Thanks Geri! Appreciate you being here for them!
Its a song that definitely stirs some emotion. Beautiful but melancholy lyrics.
Cant believe you havent checked it out yet, but my personal favourite Ren/Big Push performance is their medley of Wade In The Water/Nina Simone/Trouble So Hard.
Its a blusey version and its almost perfect.
Nice guitars by the way 👍
Thanks! Gonna be checking that out soon. It's been recommended a lot!
Great reaction Izzy. Thx💕👍🦇
Thank you!
Yep i am in the worst place i've come across yet in my life & there have been LOTS of worse places in my life so yea i am just so freakin thankful & grateful that **Ren** just sorta appeared out of nowhere for me this past year when i NEED it the most very strange but then i am used to strange have had a truly bizarre life so far & seems tis NOT letting up one bit so yea ALL his Art is truly helping me get thru jeezus man pretty sure he is bout to rule the Artistic world in any form he chooses & i can not wait to be a part of this new era of history that will endure until the end of time like other past fantastical Genius Artists **Beautiful** & i totally agree with ya bout what ya said bout David Bowie & Best of Luck to **YOU** YAY for **Creativity**
Thanks! Glad he's helping ya! Exciting times isn't it.
Thank you 🙏❤ Izzy Izenstain ❤ for your 🎸🧑🎤🧑🎤🌉 Ren X Chinchilla - How To Be Me (live) reaction! #ren #howtobeme #chinchilla
Other songs come to mind ... of Ren's where he hits you emotionally with a powerful unexpected ending and then silence ...
and in your head you hear the melody echoes and lyrics from earlier in the song ...
It's a powerful device to use. Looking forward to hearing more of that kind of stuff!
❤❤❤
This was lovely, we could see your emotions in your eyes as you listened, and of course the reference to Bowie would thrill Ren. Bless him, he is a gift!! Enjoying your content, thank you!
Thanks Barbara!
Pretty extraordinary
It is!
Thank you! I really enjoyed your reaction!
Thanks!
Loving watching your journey.
💖💖💖💖💖 This one always brings me tears.
Thank you!
Outstanding stuff!
❤
Enjoy your journey with Ren and all the other artists he works with and look forward to watching your reactions. I like your gentle understanding and empathy, and have just subscribed☮
Thanks Libby! Appreciate the support!
❤❤❤✌
Yup could see you riding the waves of that one. Terrific stripper back performance. I know you knew of Ren from Bittersweet. If you haven’t already go back and watch that again (not react just enjoy and watch) with new eyes for the layers the guy has. Look at the amount of detail and timing he puts in. See if you can spot the grave.
I'm gonna do that! I remember next to nothing about it to be honest. But I'm looking forward to seeing it again and I'll look out for it. Nice one mate!
Csnt think of any other artists that can make me feel the way they can ❤
Ren is one of the most talented musicians I have ever seen, but his penmanship is exquisite above all. That is what attracted Sony to him when he first signed, sadly he got so sick he couldn't get out of bed. They terminated the contract on the agreement. In the end, it is their loss.
True Doc. Great he's back at it!
🔥
Ren lost most of his 20s and started performing again at 27 afterc2 stem cell transplants. But those years,he still wrote music and built all this beautiful depth of feeling and empathy. His friend Joe Hughes died from S when Ren was 20, when Ren was just getting sick
Thanks for the info. That Stem Cell stuff is interesting.
@@IzzyIzenstain apparently some people got worse. Don't know if they fully realize why. It took 2 for Ren to really start improving. First he had to clear steroids from his body and stabilize a diet that he didn't react to
He felt he had nothing to lose. He is 6'1" and I think he was down to 112 lbs. He was dying.
@@francesdoll4039 Wow that is very low!
@@IzzyIzenstain when he released Hi Ren, he also posted a vlog he did in 2014 ,when he thought he was going to die. Still didn't have a correct diagnosis. Its on his page.

I've always thought of Bowie and Ren in the same ways. Ren is 33 years old currently.
It's an exciting time and he's an exciting artist. Thanks.
Great reaction man👍🏻
Thanks Mick!
Well done
Yes, simple and powerful and raw. And, thank god, no pitch correction. Ren uses sometimes all kind of effects on his voice in the studio but there is an artistic thought behind it, a purpose. And he knows when it makes no sense to use it. And here it would take so much from the emotion. That's something artists and producers don't seem to get nowadays and use "heavy" pitch correction on everything, always. And "live" performance is also heavily produced and pitch corrected before released on RUclips or elsewhere. Even when it's so obviously goes against the song.
Yeah, I hate that heavy pitch correction too. It kills stuff.
This is my favorite of the 2 Chinchilla colabs he has put out. (So far)
Ren & Chinchilla had the same management years ago, and both had really terrible experiences with them. They're close friends & work well together. Chinchilla is very famous for Little Girl Gone. Even I have heard that song & I don't like almost any current music, lol. That's why Ren is getting so many older fans, like me, a GenX girl. We grew up with the golden era of 60s/70s/80s/part of 90s music, thought it was normal to have such iconic music but found out nope, it was just a special time. Ren has brought us back to life w/such incredible music & performances. ☺
Thanks for the info and the comment, Jennifer! I'll check out Little Girl Gone. I wonder if I'll recognise it? It was a special time for sure! He's hoping for more of that in the future.
I can’t agree more. I thought I was done with modern music, but then, along came Ren. He has also introduced me to a plethora of other current artists that are also amazing!
@@jujugar9442 Yes, exactly!
Ren lost one of his best friends Joe Hughes when he was about 20. He’s 33 now. That night has haunted him since he didn’t make it to the bridge in time to stop him. Freckled Angels, Su*c!de, and For Joe follow his stages of grief and his own personal struggles with the desire to end it when he battled illness for so many years. This song is so powerful on so many levels. And the connection with Chichilla is incredible.
Correct - Ren isn’t constrained by genre. I like the Bowie comparison. After a heavy song like this, I like to recommend lighter more uplifting songs. I think you would really like “Power,” or The Big Push “Bongo Bong” or “Englishman in New York.”
Thanks Elizabeth! Added to the list!
Sins = ones shortcomings - that which makes us human.
I could be wrong..
You could be right.
Ren composed this. Love how the outro is context for the main song. Dark, haunting but beautiful
Thanks for the info. It is those things!
Yes, there's a verse in Romans (chapter 3 v 23): 'for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God'. I find it interesting how Ren calls himself an agnostic, but seemingly wrestles and engages with the Bible and prayer in a way many Christians don't. He has a really interesting song called Lost all Faith which you might find interesting.
Thanks for sharing that, Kitty! It is interesting! I think there is great value in some of these ancient stories. I love watching and reading things about them and the potential meanings. Definitely gonna check that song out! Thanks!
Actually Ren is turning 34 in March.
Sin means debt, at least in a Christian concept. The idea is that our life here and next is a gift, and if we do things that go against this gift of love, then we acrew a debt through it. I like that.
It's an interesting concept. Thanks for sharing it. It's food for thought for sure.
I’ll say it again I love your insights and thoughtfulness! This video was filmed on the same bridge his best friend jumped from. This song gets me every time! Have a wonderful and inspiring weekend! I look forward to seeing more of you!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Thanks! And thanks for being here!
I like your definition of sin far better. I won’t be condemned for quite so much.
Haha 😁
You have got to listen to crutch ❤
It's on the list.
You’re so very handsome ❤
This was filmed on the bridge his best friend Joe committed S from.
No, it wasn't. Wish this rumour would stop. Joe jumped of the menai bridge, please look at a picture if it. This was filmed on a rooftop, most probably in Brighton ❤✌️
Yeah, does look like a roof top to me. Funny how these rumours get started. But they're an inevitable part it seems. Paul Is Dead? Right? Haha.
Sorry I was given the incorrect information. This was actually filmed on a balcony. I was in no way trying to propagate a rumor.
@@KitstormUno no worries Kim! Happens to us all, that kind of thing. Don't worry about it 🙂
This and Chalk Outlines are essentially Ren compositions but they made some changes together, to fit a duet. This one's about Ren's reaction to his best friend's suicide...
Miss the mark is what sin means in Hebrew. I'm surprised you knew that.
I didn't realise it was from Hebrew. Thanks for filling me in!
ah...so we didn't get it right...We missed the mark of what we understood to be correct. (hence) we are ALL sinners. THE REASON I just don't fkn get the whole "god will strike you down" if you "sin". I've seen rapists and baby killers and fkn liars and murderous dictators continue to live on this earth....WHILE INNOCENTS DIE AT THEIR HANDS. No wonder people are cynical. I'm trying man...I TRULY AM TRYING TO make sense of it all.
Yeah we are. I think we're here to try and make sense of it all and of ourselves, although I'm not sure that is a journey with any final resolution. God loves a tryer, apparently. Keep at it Lou and take care!
