[@garysherwin3316]

Quickly becoming my favourite ren reactors 🇬🇧😊

[@AudioLunch]

Thanks Man!! Cheers!

[@carlahelin5203]

Was just going to say the same.

[@daphneparkin6869]

Agree. Great reaction 😊

[@iamsquatty]

Saaaaame

[@MC_kalCM]

TRUTH!!!

[@analisasmith7927]

How To Be Me is another duet of theirs - you’ll be blown away again!! Loved your reaction ❤️

[@tomaszbielak]

"Ren X Chinchilla - How To Be Me (Live)" should be guys' next reaction -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXW1aKarpZh3qbc

[@EriBerry1981]

Agree

[@stevendoyle4522]

I say just jump straight to the live version also, some people prefer the recorded version but I think the rawness and emotion is just so much more amplified in the live

Achievement Unlocked: Chinchilla Another rabbit hole

[@summittaedae2323]

Chinchilla x was also in the voice uk. She’s a beast! People like her and ren are born to collaborate.

[@harbard_berserkr2952]

When I first heard "I'm scared of being okay cuz all things change," I realized where my mind is at so much of the time. I never had words to put to my mindset until they sang them.

[@wojtek1274]

Me, too! Always on guard, waiting for when your brain or your body inevitably fails you is so exhausting.

[@shirleypelot]

15 years of different medications. 15 years, so many hospitalizations for both mental and physical. 15 years of NOTHING working. Finally, FINALLY, got diagnosed "functional neurological disorder". My brain is basically f*cked at a cellular level. Medications do not work, will not work, can not work. I am the physical manifestation of "can not handle" stress from a lifetime of "bad shit happened". I've heard this song numerous times, so many times, and I still get goosebumps because I felt this way too much. I want to be okay, but it's starting to sink in I won't be and nothing will fix it. So, new habits to drown shit out because I won't be able to do what has helped before, even if the new habits are just for a little bit.

[@craigbullard8163]

Don’t want to freak you out more than you already are but FND is basically we don’t know WTF is going on. Get tested for Lyme disease with Armin or IGenix

[@shirleypelot]

@craigbullard8163 been tested for Lyme, lead poisoning, Ms, Parkinson, lupus, and a bunch of other things. I found some scientific articles about FND. I don't just have FND, it's "complex FND with multiple subtypes" bc of the range and severity of my symptoms, what they mimic and having *every* single test come back "normal". This is what my specialist neurologist has told me. I can no longer drive, my vision looks like I'm looking out of a fishbowl, I'm either hot or freezing, seizures, muscle spasms, cognitive issues, speech issues, chest pain, partial paralysis, weakness to the point of falling... it goes on and on. Not all at once, but every day is like Russian roulette. It's extremely difficult to deal with, but I'm learning to recognize the beginning of symptoms before they totally lay me out. It's frustrating bc of how bad my symptoms are. I literally just want to learn how to function. There is a clinic near me that is just for FND. But it's still hard to get answers of how to deal since meds can't treat them.

[@Postflight_Icarus]

If you want to double down on this excellence, Ren X Chinchilla How to Be Me (Live).

[@tomaszbielak]

"How to Be Me (Live)" is A-MA-ZING!

[@jeffwilson3205]

Thank you for not immediately talking about Chinchilla’s nails. I have watched hundreds of reactions to this song and can immediately tell if you get it or not based on the initial reaction to Chinchilla. This is a perfect duet.

[@karenbliss8719]

I went 10 years and I don’t know how many docs for severe headaches. I was diagnosed with everything but nothing helped. My doc finally threw his hands up and said I don’t know what’s wrong with you but we’ll get an MRI. The neurologist who did it said well, you have low-lying cerebellar tonsils but that can’t be causing your headaches. I went home crying which induced a headache (any physical exertion did) and sat at my computer and typed in those words he said. It popped up on the screen “Chari Malformation”. Never heard of it but had all the symptoms. I was so happy! Then I had to find a doc who specialized in it. I found one 7 hours away who agreed to see me and I brought my MRIs to him. He said I had it and needed surgery immediately or I would become paralyzed. I had brain surgery and my first vertebrae removed. It was crazy that I had to do my own research after 10 years of “doctors” and all kinds of meds. My first doctor even had the nerve to say “it’s all in your head” which was true…my cerebellar tonsils had herniated and were stuffed down my spinal cord so yeah, it was in my head! 🙄

[@leonbond9275]

I've fallen down the rabbit hole you your Ren reactions which are so visceral and demonstrative....... 😂 This was brilliant, all the more so for you guys being rendered effectively speechless at the end!

[@cranken72]

Ren is my therapist and all these reaction videos are my therapy sessions! Thank you!

[@davidalvarezgarcia3784]

amenn

[@kellyt5341]

These gentlemen got the Chin-chills from this beautiful masterpiece. Chinchilla hits some kind of frequency with her vocals that make me break out in chills every time. I know when it is coming exactly yet my body responds like a sub zero wind blew on me.

[@Jadedxx]

💯 same... No matter how many times I hear her sing these slower emotional songs I get chills...

[@momishka7]

The hardest line in the song is “I’m scared of being okay cause all things change” cry every time! With love 💕

[@louise11854]

hello dears!! imho, this setting is about 2 patients in a residential phych place, which i affectionately call 'happy land', who meet in secret for solace when they can escape the staff. just an idea. i been in happy land and knowing what i do of ren''s back story, it was obvious to me, but that don't mean i'm right. and fyi: chinchilla can almost literally knock your socks off, so go for it, dudes! kathleen bts renegade

[@tomaszbielak]

agreeeed :)

[@J3nJ3nl0llip0p]

I felt that, too! Like, that ONE person who really gets you, sneak down to the basement to talk, cry and chain smoke... Hoping you don't get caught and thorazined... Kinda hoping you do, cuz it's been a WEEK... Those grippy socks not keeping the cold off your toes...

[@helenajrgensen3157]

This song and "How to be me" makes me dream of more from those two. Thanks for another great reaction from you 2 🙏 Love Rensday ❤

[@tomaszbielak]

❤

[@celinel9750]

I can't wait to hear what they cooked for us ..... 🙂

[@clarissathompson]

@@celinel9750yes!!! They have dangled that carrot and now we have to wait, but I can't either! I'm looking forward to their most recent project

[@Shiroar]

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 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.

[@draigaur9543]

has to better live version,

[@sabasands]

I agree Crutch is devastating and heartbreaking and beautiful and oh soooooo relatable ❤

[@Dave1507]

Oh yeah, crutch, I almost forgot this gem, but I remember the first time listening, bibi's first words just hit so hard, because I was reminded of all the times when I could have profited from hearing those three words, and they are so simple.

[@richardhuff1256]

As audio engineers 7 sins and loco are a absolute must. For a ton of fun love music 1-4. Wanna feel, check out For Joe

[@staceyk5682]

Ren & chinchilla together are fire🔥 she’s fantastic, check out her singles too. Little Girl Gone and Cut You Off. loved seeing your reaction to this!!

[@tomaszbielak]

"Little Girl Gone" is amazing! Hope you've got low-bass-headphones listening it 😀

[@michaelthony9525]

I absolutely loved her audition for the voice. She made "i put a spell on you" her own in a way that just blows my mind

[@TracieAngeletti-nc2zs]

Also her Fingers Live for Hunger TV is spectacular. She’s just incredibly talented. ❤

[@momstin58]

These two are magic together. Enjoying your reactions 🙂

[@TheRoSho]

Rensday is the best day cuz i get to experience y’all discover. Such joy.

[@Lunabracco]

I love the passion you show for Ren ... Full stop! I absolutely love your Ren reactions.. this one brought tears to my eyes watching you react .. makes me proud to be British 🇬🇧 having such an amazing Artist in Ren spinning round the world with his undeniable Talent ( also not forgetting his great friends and amazing team ! )

[@JulitaPio]

Ren and Chinchilla are powerful individually, but together they give a bald man goosies on the top oh his head😂❤

[@lka9900]

Chronic illness is a fucking beast. The entire process is traumatizing from the medical gaslighting to the tests to the cost to meds to the side effects (hello cancer screenings) to the mental strain to the constant state of stress to the point your body shuts down just to stay alive and looking down the tunnel knowing you’ve still got another 50years of this ahead unless it kills me first. It’s brutal.

[@tomaszbielak]

Great reaction, as always, guys :) Chinchilling with you :) Chalk outlines... drawing them, tracing ourselves in them... erasing them sometimes (for a moment, when we wash it down... there's a pill for everything... such a perfect day!) I know I changed it a bit, but... you know :D OK, check Official Lyrics Video, please: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aofRkIFrfq17pcU Quite different, you'll be amused in a different way :D Oh my, my!

[@Edw1nik]

The part when he says after "take this one wash it down and you'll be fine" he goes "then walk around in floating chalk outlines" meaning $uic!de

[@leslieballard9709]

I completely understand your frustration with drs. I had cancer in 2010. And then two years ago got long term Covid. So the combination of what chemo did to me and long term Covid = I’m all fuc ed up. And for two years they don’t know what to do with me. So I’m almost bed bound at 42 with 5 kids. This is why rens music touches me so deeply. I have to take the damn meds to stay alive. But there are days that I’m so mad about it. Just Fing cure me!! Sorry, off the soap box

[@sherribrock2726]

You need to look at a short video of REN’s called something like A Day In The Life Of REN. It really shows you all the medication he was having to take.

[@jasonremy1627]

They are so good together.

[@tomaszbielak]

harmonies are insane :)

[@leslieballard9709]

This is quickly becoming my favorite reaction channel. or at least one of them. Haha!! So thanks you for that. You should check out chinchilla on her own. She’s amazing.

[@clarebarrett9323]

Glad your down the rabbit hole. The fan group flagged you up. Well deserved praise! Subbed

[@hazelstockley684]

This is so painfully accurate. Love these two powerhouses together 😊

[@lauraheim8381]

“Scared of being alone cus I’e been CHANGED “Great reaction. I completely relate to this song

[@maxmacpherson1957]

Chinchilla was co-writer of this masterpiece!

[@bockelmannmichael6959]

Beautiful song. No words for it. Tears only. But there is a lot of hope in it.

[@Dogoodthings314]

"I'm scared of being ok, because all things change." - Insanely powerful and haunting truth. Change, death and taxes = trifecta of the human experience.

[@optimistinmyprime]

omg I love you guys. the joy, the tears (we've all been there), the fist pumps, melting in your seats, grabbing the other guy's shoulder... that's why renegades just can't stop watching. thank you ❤ (one more addition to your mini-rant, I believe most doctors started with good intentions, but there's no excuse for big pharma executives... ultimate a**holes. they don't see people, they see $$.)

[@bbbbavkf]

Seeing grown men getting all touchy and goosebumpy is wonderful, music is magic, Ren rules.

[@andyholloway11]

I have had this song on heavy rotation for about a year now and I have no idea how it isn't everywhere. It's so relatable.

[@ChrisB-k7b]

great fucking channel, i subbed.

[@JamesSmith7893]

You guys should check out love music 1,2,3 and 4

[@tomaszbielak]

Definitely!

[@pepinosylvie8887]

Great reaction guys 👍 You have to hear an other Ren's duet now, with Eden Nash ... Ocean and Humble, different vibes, but really awesome. The hooks are fire and the lyrics are always so deep. Chinchilla is amazing but Eden Nash has also a wonderful voice. Please check them out 🤞 Thanks 😘

[@mrdarengilbert3907]

Chinchilla doesn’t have an equal she is underrated and off the charts talented So much respect for this powerful woman ….. and yeah REN is ok too 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Ren is my guy I’ve spent over 12months now just obsessing over him….. and his amazing friends….. such an amazing song/vid

Holy crap, such a transparent, honest and amazing reaction. Subscribed. Keep it up!

[@brendabromley5528]

Thanks as always for making me smile can't wait for your next reaction....such an amazing song 🖤🖤 Ren so knows what locations will accentuate his voice he is so smart!! He calls Chinchilla his vocal sibling! Dr tried to prescribe me a drug the possible side effects totaled 141 I said NOPE thanks!! OH I came up with another name for your 2nd day reactions per week.... How about Ren-Thirstdays for Thurs??!!😄

[@ElleScamp]

Ren and Chin call each other musical siblings (not just vocal); she co-wrote their duets - is a badass composer and producer in her own right 😊

[@Darf652]

Only found your channel yesterday but you've quickly become my favourite Ren reactors. Ren treats Chinchilla like his little sister, you should check out their busking sessions, her voice is incredible! If you haven't you need to check out How To Be Me, Animal Flow and Money Game pt 1,2 & 3. Oh and The Tales of Jenny, Screech and Violet. I'll prob find half of these on your channel now i've posted this HAHAHA

[@pakratunloading]

Do “Crutch”, a very under rated song and video done 8 years ago I believe. It’s one of my all time favorites!

[@GM-in2io]

Now you have to do their live version of How to be Me!!

[@ChrisB-k7b]

HIm and his teams ability to find areas with reverb is insane. nobody ever mentions that. kudos

[@DVDFHardTarget]

REN brought me here. Liverpool UK in the house.

[@dottiemurray6013]

This chemistry between the 2 of them is magical 💞 Better than any other chemical that can make us feel numb 😉

[@AndrewJonesMcGuire]

Subscribing! You guys - are going to be blown away / weeping - when you see them do "How To Be Me" LIVE.

[@darkhoursofday6250]

Great song. Best line is "Such a perfect day, take it just in case." That one spoke to me.

[@Courtneyp85]

Speaks to my soul. I've wrestled for years with the fact that I need medication.

[@bonnieg4768]

Thanks guys! Really enjoying your reactions!!

❤❤ Talk away brothers that's why we are here😊

[@suzieque9934]

You really should watch ren with the big push band

[@ClaudiaSanchez-jm1if]

I read someone's comment about this video and the chair's significance. Cherophobia is the fear of being okay. Props to whoever made the comment that educated me.

[@RAMBUK1989]

i love this channel you are the best at reacting to Ren with Black Pegasus!

[@cerijones2584]

Ren x Chinchilla - how to be me live is a MUST! Love your reactions 😊

[@NoraMorgan]

Yeah. Lately I’ve been equating doctors with weather forecasters.

[@andybricks576]

Check out "The Great Push" -Ren's band. "I shot the Sheriff......"

[@dannygoodrich8065]

Great reaction. I know you have done Murderer, but you should check out the acoustic version. Its mindblowing.

[@scottmoore3534]

I love the one where ren introduced chinchilla to busking with the one dance it's great that they can stop everyone in their tracks when they sing together

[@iamsquatty]

**ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED** congratulations! You have discovered new ren friend chinchilla! Shes amazing! 😊1💜💜

[@justinbrown6989]

Done sucked me back into Ren again

[@knyoung2]

Can never get thru this one or Su!clde with our crying. The emotions just pop.

[@larryc3860]

Ren continues his personal story of dealing with medical/psychiatric malpractice that left him (and countless others) in a state of permanent recovery and relapse ........."Don't cry 'cause there's a pill for everything"..........

[@GarthHoy]

You should check out him busking with his band the Big Push I shot the sheriff, war pigs, some Rolling Stones covers, guy is playing electric guitar, the live stuff is superb

[@michaelthony9525]

You guys should check out some of Chinchillas solo stuff. I can hear Rens influence on her. Check out "cut you off" and her audition for the voice where she made "i put a spell on you" her own in a way never heard before.

[@Dr.Brummel]

I'm already watching you for a while. Always great reactions. You understand the meaning of deep songs. And have fun with others. I laughed my arse off when you went on a ride after watching 'Power'. Love it. I wanna recommend another great duet: 'Ren ft. Bibi - Crutch'. A heartbreaking, beautiful and deep song. Absolutely underrated in my opinion. Has a great no-budget video as well. "Crutch" dates back to a time when Ren thought he wouldn't live much longer. Bibi was his girlfriend at that time and started a GoFundMe to raise donations for his treatment/diagnosis.

[@beverlywest7627]

I remember the first time I saw this, same goosebumps. They have another LIVE duo, so good, IMO even better, I forgot how to be me, LIVE.

[@rosariovazquezcuellar6532]

Great reaction! I loved it. Greetings from México.

[@greenmonster4918]

Last Thursday Ren released "Fred Again Mashup". He combined 5(?) EDM songs into an AMAZING acoustic guitar experience. It's a must see!

[@jadOreMEii]

This song is so meaningful, intense, and just so damn good. Ren is my favorite artist I discovered last year and he’s so talented, quite endlessly talented and her voice on this song is the icing on the cake. What I love about Ren is that he’s like no one else. He’s relatable, not afraid to talk about the heavy, and one of the most magical storytellers. If you haven’t heard violet’s tale, Jenny, screech, money game pt 1,2 or 3, Genesis, he’s pure gold.

[@GeminiPurPower]

Chinchilla, “little girl gone”..influence of hers Beyoncé..another completely awesome song and not given enough play is “cold water” from the 2020 emaAwards and her latest release “cut you off”.. love her style!

[@nelb55]

Someone just shared your reaction on REN’s Rabbit Hole Fans page.. had to come over and subscribe x you just gave the quote of the year.. “Ren can give a bald man goosy’s on the top of his head” Wow.. sums him up perfectly I think xx thank you xx 😊

[@InTherapyMusic]

Fingers by chinchilla, all their duets. So good

[@abbymathews5088]

You guys and your “chinchillas all over” are killing me. You two are absolutely hilarious, and your friendship is so obviously true. Great reaction!😉❤️✌️

[@EarthyBlendPOV]

Enjoyed the heck out of this one, I’m in the biz as well, so yeah…really impressive.

I have been watching reactions to Ren and Chinchilla for months...how have I just found you guys?! Much love, you are awesome!

[@lucygonzalez-zo5nz]

Amazing reaction. Sorry to hear about what went through when you were younger. My husband and I were also prescribed medication with horrible side effects. So you are correct in that many of us can relate. Ren posted a video when he reached his one million subscribers and asked that the medical industry needs to do better. If you’d like to react to that video it’d be great to see ya’s reaction. It’s been really great watching ya’s journey. Thank you so much.

[@denisebulgariu964]

I like you both !👍

Her voice is amazing

[@SammiJK]

Loved your reaction - awesome! Co-written as well as performed by Ren X Chinchilla they have another I don't know if you've seen yet as only just came across you (new sub) called How to Be Me they did another live for it.....Chinchilla is referred to by Ren as his Musical Sibling and honestly a creative and vocal beast solo as well - not getting the flowers yet she deserves and needs much more - finding these two Artists in the last year has been the absolute best!! and Sam Tompkins....The Big Push such talented artists all associated and found through association with coming across Ren! such an exciting time for music with these...! have fun dive in you'll never regret any of them thats a PROMISE

[@lulumeto]

Hey guys, thank you for doing this one. Great reaction 👏👏 Gotta tell ya that while Chalk Outlines is one of my favorite, I think How to Be me tops it slightly in my book. It's another great with Chinchilla ❤❤
