I love how emotionally intelligent you are and that you just GET IT with Ren and his music, Chinchilla is the same. Music is supposed to make you FEEL and these artists are the epitomy of it...
I think yet another one of Ren’s abilities is highlighting whatever musicians he works with. He seems as clever and thoughtful about that as he is with all the other things, and it’s just such a bonus for everyone!
@RichardReyes-mj9oo it was this performance he seemed to form around her not the song. I've seen the live and he approached it differently in this one. 😊
Watched them do this live on Saturday at SGP, the crowd almost drowned them out in the end, we all sang every word at the top of our voices. It was fantastic! 🖤
Sertraline is the generic name for Zoloft. I was on it for 4 years, maxed it out and it quit working, now I'm on Celexa. I was still on Z when this came out. For the first time EVER, in my LIFE, I didn't _loathe_ taking my meds. This song made me feel human again. I love them SO MUCH.
That's very powerful there. The message underneath is no one should denigrate or lambast oneself for having to take meds to be ok, yes it would be better not to, but know you're not alone in that path to balance.
I love both of them so much! You need to check out their busking session together. There are videos of them covering Sexual Healing, and a mashup of One Dance/Drunk In Love.
My favourite thing about Ren is every time he performs with anyone his goal is to let them shine. The rising tide describes him best, this was my introduction to Chinchilla originally and she's soon to be unstoppable too.
Chinchilla's voice is honestly incredible so powerful but so soothing at the same time, and ren well just being ren that man just constantly impresses me
Chinchilla has such a powerful voice and REN leaves her the floor for those belted out vocals, he surrounds himself with amazing artists and allows them to shine! He truly is a great artist who gives us all of himself. Your reactions are fantastic Jay, I love seeing how animated and excited you get. Give us more!
The best musical “siblings”. Ren has called her his sister from another mister and a female version of himself due to their similar approach to music. For me I think it shows in the fact that they both have that something special that draws you in and demands attention. To see it fully for Chinchilla, check out her live version of Fingers. This song always reminds me that one of the (many) things that makes Ren so great is his ability to know exactly when to be complex, keep it simple, or even use silence to get his message across. He isn’t flexing his guitar skills in this, just playing exactly what is needed with that beautiful guitar tone. And my favourite line in this is so simple, totally devoid of all the clever metaphors that he is so good at using, but it hits soooo hard: “I’m scared of being okay cause all things change”. I think anyone who has been through any struggles can relate to that feeling of not trusting that anything good will last. You can’t just enjoy it because you’re busy worrying about how long it will last and the feeling that will come when it’s gone. And then good days just make the darkness feel so much worse because you remember the light that’s gone… Ren is so special. He keeps being so relatable that it reminds us that we’re not alone. And we will always make room for more RENegades down the Ren rabbit hole cause we all need his light in the darkness 🐰🕳️ If you want more emotional singing from Ren, please check out one of my personal favourites: Crutch feat. Bibi. It’s an older song from before he was finally correctly diagnosed with Lyme disease and was written after a breakdown following multiple emergency trips to the hospital. It is heart wrenching and beautiful. And very different from everything else in his catalogue.
Your face says it all! Excellent reaction. I am amazed at how many people are afraid of things being ok. I hope we all learn to be more forgiving of ourselves and have faith that we are capable of dealing with whatever comes our way. ❤❤❤
If you like these two together you've GOT to hear How To Be Me - Live. It's haunting and visceral, full of poignant truths. Great reaction, I enjoyed watching you take it all in 🔥🔥
Thank you for sharing the way you personally connected with this! Seeing someone else be affected is part what makes the reaction for me, for such an emotive song 💕 (plus your always-appreciative/good vibes lol!)
I get what ya mean. Singing wise she won (not a competition lol) but the lyrics scream ren-the theatrics and the tone and the live seems like both their ideas based on what they do independently
'I'm scared of being OK cos all things change'..... It's deeply relatable. It's OK to share yourself, and it's OK that you don't. But with Ren, it always makes me reflect just who I am and why. Having plenty of self doubt all my life and little self esteem, this song makes perfect sense. Thanks for the video ❤
Just discovered you while im going deep down the Ren rabbit hole..... and you are now my favorite Ren Reaction! I've watched many channels, but i LOVE how you just express your shit and are so raw with your reactions! thanks for making this..... ive binge watched them all now! Keep it up!
Jay I am so very happy you got to this one 🥰 this is one of my fave songs, you know I relate to it. I knew you would as well. I love Ren and Chinchilla so much. They call each other their sibling. Both are so talented. I'll put another of their collabs in the discord for you. It's basically about Joe (the friend who included himself) Much love Jay 😘✌🏻💚💪🏻
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Ren is a. rising tide that lifts all ships. that is what truly sets him apart to me... I would say they are more like peanut butter and honey! the line that kills me is ...on the gallows, balanced on my toes so I can breathe... all the best to you & yours! 🌸❤️🎶🙏🎶❤️🌸
Chinchilla has a new song Bounce Back and they have a couple of duets on Ren’s new album coming up. I believe they are on the album. Maybe separately ❤😊
Big hugs from Nova Scotia, Canada 🇨🇦. This is exactly relatable. Few get out of childhood without trauma. We all need to allow space to realize it's good to talk about it. We're all fighting to be healthier, but this process is a life skill. Listened to your reaction several times. Awesome 👌 ❤
My dude, you are my favourite reactor. You have this natural understanding of what is being said. The emotions, the lyrics, how they interact. You imply, and let people get there. I've binged your Ren library on more than one occasion. Please keep doing it.
I'm sorry... NOT! I love seeing you have all the feelings while tears are streaming down my own face. Respect for someone who hears and feels so deeply.
NF talks about how you can used to pain and life being chaos, so when you get to a good place, it feels wrong because you’re so used to bad, you can’t appreciate the good.
I think Ren is the only Artist I've ever come across that uses Silence in so many songs and yet has you totally engaged. He's Jusssssssst Genius 🎶🎵🍯🤌🔥🙏💪🐝🍀
A blessing with another drop from the pause factory. Yeah, sucks when you can’t enjoy the good while waiting for another shoe to drop. Thanks for sharing ✌️
Dear Jay, I think I know what you mean about Chinchilla, if she and Ren were dancing, she would be the lead This is exactly how I think Ren prefers it, specifically collaborating with her, they have both described the other as their other half musically Watching how they interact is such perfection with their voices, their communication while they sing is epic
Well he is certainly doing a lot less acting with his hands and body while sitting in a chair and playing the guitar because his body and hands are busy. More times than not his hands are wrapped around a guitar. So he only has his facial expressions to convey his feelings and his voice of course. 😊
You melted my heart at the very end of their song.. Chinchillas last lines... your face completely showing you can relate to the words. Genuine! Good things happen for good people. 💯
"You can feel the levels of emotions" 100%. Doing it live adds a whole other level of texture to the song. So many bands over produce their songs and modify it till it is so perfect any emotion that could be in it is removed. Being live adds so much to it
I keep myself away from people. I don't want to catch another case and since my aneurysms I have been told I'm angrier and I smoke weed to medicate but I don't know myself anymore and I have been through quite a bit to where my trust in people is almost gone. I'm glad I met you. You help me more than you know and I just want you to know that 🎉❤
As someone who let anger consume them and then self medicated themselves to the point of numbness, I can relate with you. I almost lost my wife and kids because of it. I had a literal "come to Jesus" moment and cried out to Him to make a change in my heart, mind, and spirit. All I know is that He answered, and while it's not been easy, I've managed to change my whole outlook. One major breakthrough for me was realizing that changing the input changes the output. Meaning that I stopped taking in negativity (media, negative people, etc) and it had a profound effect on how I felt and how I interacted with those around me. I'm not gonna pretend to know your struggles, but I do want to tell you that I'm praying for you, and there is a God who listens when you seek Him in earnest.
@@maynarddrivesfast804 oh trust me God and I are tight. I found Him years ago and He helped me get sober and I lead with love now. I used to be very hateful. I'm glad you didn't lose your family. I will never have a husband because I don't think it's in my cards. But I pray everyday for everyone. This world is done for and I just want people to know His love ❤️
So many other reactors do this one early in their exploration of both these artists. I love that you came at it with a more seasoned approach. I was so lucky to see this live last weekend at SGP 🤩🤩🤩These two are just magic together. They also played one of their new ones and it is smouldering, smoky 🔥🔥🔥Love ya!❤🔥
That’s the beauty of music, when it’s relatable. Can u imagine the hundreds of people who’ve heard or just came across this song and said the same thing? Those 2 artist knew what they were doing when they performed this song live like this. Ren is a mastermind and Chinchilla is the sauce. Just perfection 🎉
Absolutely great reaction! You got every lyric, which by the way 95% of reactors do not get. Love your Ren reactions. You probably get shit from your homies for loving Ren, but “F” them for not getting the brilliance of these two individual artists!
Chinchilla's voice really puts out the vulnerability and uncertainty of fragile mental health, and their eye contact screams the desperation to connect and feel supported.
Wait until you hear How to be Me (Live) by Ren and Chinchilla! 🔥 🔥 🔥
🔥🔥🔥. ☮️❤️😎
make sure to react to the live version
Indeed. How to be me live will blow your mind. Another one-take like this one but on a balcony.
Yeah, I’m on this train. Incredible arrangement. So meaningful and helpful just to have it out there.
So meaningful! Thanks.
I love how emotionally intelligent you are and that you just GET IT with Ren and his music, Chinchilla is the same. Music is supposed to make you FEEL and these artists are the epitomy of it...
This song immediately went into my top 5 songs of all time in my 45yrs on this planet
He may claim all 5 positions
I love you brother from a 65 year old white guy. God Bless you, you doing great.
Love you back man
I understand what you mean. He formed it more around her then if it was just him. Another amazing reaction. ❤
I think yet another one of Ren’s abilities is highlighting whatever musicians he works with. He seems as clever and thoughtful about that as he is with all the other things, and it’s just such a bonus for everyone!
He has a video of him singing it 2 years before this. She is awesome though!!!
@RichardReyes-mj9oo it was this performance he seemed to form around her not the song. I've seen the live and he approached it differently in this one. 😊
Watched them do this live on Saturday at SGP, the crowd almost drowned them out in the end, we all sang every word at the top of our voices. It was fantastic! 🖤
What part of the country was it in? Looked amazing.
@@spruce381 Cambridgeshire, UK. It was amazing!
I've watched bits of SGP, I think I would have been broken. The vibe is palpable on youtube watching 12'000 miles away.
❤
SO JEALOUS 🥰🥰🥰
Wait til ya hear Eden Nash... Ocean and Humble are Must dos Bro!!!!
Another Outstanding Duo!!!
i'm in love with Ahiahiahoha (or something like this^^) right now. Guess its with Eden aswell
“Sad spider crawling down the web…l’m crumbling..” 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great description 🤛😎👍
Perfect.
Thanks Jay! How to be Me (Live) by Ren and Chinchilla is another great track by this amazing duo. ☮💪🏼
I feel that song in my bones.
That’s a real showcase
The chair snapping at the beginning, being scared of being ok is called cherophobia
no way... really? That's mad bro! But given Ren, utterly believable!
Wow... no Doubt Ren knows that! First time hearing that... yep... why else put the chair so in our face like that!!!
No. It’s an aversion to being happy. Someone who’s afraid to be happy-hence the line ‘I’m scared of being ok cause all things change.’
Good call ~ and here I thought the chair snap was just to emphasize the reverb of the space
thanks for the info but now I have to read dull papers,
I hear you brother, Ren is the man of manliness in 2024 in music. WOW HE IS NOW! check out more There's lots of stuff by Ren to dive into....
Scared of being OK because all things change is a brutally honest lyric
Sertraline is the generic name for Zoloft. I was on it for 4 years, maxed it out and it quit working, now I'm on Celexa. I was still on Z when this came out. For the first time EVER, in my LIFE, I didn't _loathe_ taking my meds. This song made me feel human again. I love them SO MUCH.
That's very powerful there. The message underneath is no one should denigrate or lambast oneself for having to take meds to be ok, yes it would be better not to, but know you're not alone in that path to balance.
@@GreatDaneRock Beautifully said! And thank you for the reminder! We're all in this together
I can VERY much relate to Ren's story & your's brother!!! MANY traumas,still heal8ng.😌🙏🫶💖🥰☮️🫂🎵🎶💜🔮
The chemistry is mental isn’t it! Love your reaction ❤
❤Ren❤ I’m not crying, you’re crying. Ren shares the stage very well.
I just love your reactions. You manage to articulate exactly what I'm feeling. 🔥 ✌️
I love both of them so much!

it is a transmitter to send the signal to a receiver possibly hooked to a amp or mixing device
If you like these two together you've GOT to hear How To Be Me - Live. It's haunting and visceral, full of poignant truths.
Great reaction, I enjoyed watching you take it all in 🔥🔥
Hauntingly beautiful!Ren said he and Chinchilla are vocal brother and sister!
On a side note, you are by far my most favorite reactor. One of the few that truly dig into the human side. Love your content bro!
Really excellent reaction, thanks!
Have you done the "How To Be Me" LIVE version yet?? Also with Chinchilla. Beautiful tribute to his friend Joe.
She animated. She gorgeous as hell too. Both are gorgeous tho, great voices, great faces, seem to be good humans. all i can ask for.
Thank you for sharing the way you personally connected with this! Seeing someone else be affected is part what makes the reaction for me, for such an emotive song 💕 (plus your always-appreciative/good vibes lol!)
You are the best! I know Ren would be your friend. LOVE YOUR REACTION!!
I get what ya mean. Singing wise she won (not a competition lol) but the lyrics scream ren-the theatrics and the tone and the live seems like both their ideas based on what they do independently
Their eye contact is Unreal!!! Wish i had soneone look at me like that! Lol
If I'm honest, with the nails and intensity it would be pretty unnerving to say the least...
You can sense the connection, he never flinches once when those nails are in his face❤😊 I'd be bobbin & weavin😂
Such a goosebump song. Love watching you watch chinchilla ❤❤😂
I don’t know if you ever did it and I missed it, but you should check out Ren and Chinchilla How to be Me. It’s perfection
Excellent reaction, as always! Thanks for that. ❤️ On to How To Be Me. You will love it! ☮️❤️😎

The whole track is just a masterpiece. Great reaction you really took time to get in the right headspace for it. Big love from UK 🤘
Up there with the best ever duets IMO . Brilliant reaction, everything they do together is amazing and so are the Eden Nash duets.
Jay I am so very happy you got to this one 🥰 this is one of my fave songs, you know I relate to it. I knew you would as well.
I love Ren and Chinchilla so much. They call each other their sibling. Both are so talented.
I'll put another of their collabs in the discord for you. It's basically about Joe (the friend who included himself)
Much love Jay 😘✌🏻💚💪🏻
I meant friend who unalived them self 😔
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ren is a. rising tide that lifts all ships. that is what truly sets him apart to me...
I would say they are more like peanut butter and honey!
the line that kills me is
...on the gallows, balanced on my toes so I can breathe...
all the best to you & yours!

Support comment❤ p.s. do the song how to be me. Ren and Chinchilla at its best 😮
Always love your reactions. Been waiting on this and it was worth the wait.

He matched his pitch to hers but it’s still two separate voices
HOW have you not seen this key piece of ChinnyRen lore? Lol, that's cool beans, we get to serendipitously enjoy it now. 😊

So glad u did this one beautiful❤
OMG Ren 🎉 is a living legend! And Chinchilla this is AWESOME 😎❤
A blessing with another drop from the pause factory. Yeah, sucks when you can’t enjoy the good while waiting for another shoe to drop.
Thanks for sharing ✌️
Love you bro! Real reaction.
you'll be pleased to hear that they have recorded more music together that is yet to be released
Everybody feels that, and everybody has their own chalk outline.
They nailed it.
As always an awesome reaction. Thank you for being real man. ❤

Same line gets me every time “ i’m scared of being OK because all things change“ ❤❤❤ love you Jay
Powerful fr!!
I get so excited when you do a reaction! How To Be Live is amazing as well as Sexual Healing and One Dance/Drunk in Love 🔥🔥🔥
I've heard this song like a million times, but my "eyes water" every single time.
One of my top 5 react channels.
It's beautiful and it's painful...every single time I listen to it. Gracias 💚✌
"I'm scared of being ok, cos all things change" is the bit that breaks me too. ❤
Chinchilla started her love of music in theater. And it shows. Broadway baby
Another great reaction.
PB & J 100% - How to be me is 110% for me - great reaction ❤
That’s the beauty of music, when it’s relatable. Can u imagine the hundreds of people who’ve heard or just came across this song and said the same thing?

A beautiful reaction. Hugs to you.👍💕🦇
Ye, think hes very good at selecting who sings on his songs. And writes with them in mind. Chinchilla is obviously perfect for it
I fully believe that you guys will hang out.
That "thing" on the guitar is a cordless connection to his amp/recording rig. All of this was recorded live off the floor in a single take.
