This the one with dutch in it? 😁

[@lynette.]

It was his best friend who commited suicide by jumping off the bridge,his body has never been found thats who he misses.

[@MissMeKate]

I love you guys reacting together. It's very funny having Jordan look so bored in the back. Like when your mum says you can only go to your friend's house if you take your little brother. 😂

[@patparker4280]

Funny😂

[@enigmaticbird]

😂😂😂 funniest comment.

[@Av3rageD4D]

That was a beautiful reaction Anthony & Caine! Don’t ever think it’s rude to speak in your native tongue, language is beautiful, I enjoy hearing your Dutch. Have a great day guys, and much love!

[@tundiel]

I definitely saw puppy dog eyes too 👀 😊 Ren's newest song is utterly devastating. He picks the perfect words to convey his emotions, and delivers them in such a way that you feel them too. He's just a master at this. ❤

[@MCP920]

The semicolon throughout is powerful too. Suicide awareness symbol. These two are synced in a powerful way.

[@ianhislop6782]

I love the whole concept of the semicolon. ‘A semicolon is used when the author could’ve chosen to end their sentence but chose not to.’

[@MCP920]

@@ianhislop6782 ♥️;

[@reactivereplays5666]

This entire song up to the last line was song from the point of view of one of Ren's best friends Joe; who committed suicid... Joe was calling everyone saying goodbye. Ren rushed out the door and got to where he jumped from mins late... "I don't feel safe in this bed, voices in my head" "over the hills and valleys below it follows me back home; and it suffocates me". Sin and Fear follow him everywhere he goes. "I wish I could get up and walk out of this tomb" (the tomb here is Joe's mind that he is trapped in with cycling thoughts). The live version to me... Is OUT OF THIS WORLD amazing.... Face to face singing/eye contact SOOO many raw emotions and thoughts of real life experiences while remaining in pitch, beat, note, and harmony. Masterful...

[@xchakeix]

You should show him Chinchilla doing her song Fingers live. Her voice is out of this world.

[@bellarebelrose5896]

My favorite part of this adventure is the shared camaraderie between all three of you. Anthony, always enjoy your insights. Caine, lovely that you opened up a bit and Jordan, kudos for nodding when your brother said he has you to count on. Although Jordan doesn't have a mic, we can see his silent appreciation with his head nods and his smiles. It's been a joy watchin' you all. Thank you for sharing!

[@lynette.]

He speaks of his friend in his latest track Suicide its so good.

[@itsayswithoutgoing9571]

How to Be Me feels like Walking on Sunshine compared to Su!c!de.

[@lynette.]

@@itsayswithoutgoing9571 Suicide tells both sides of the story the thoughts and the pain of those left behind it gives pause for thought and again voice to many.

[@donaldexley1852]

I love the cry that Chinchilla has in this song, her voice is enchanting and haunting at the same time. So much emotion. In the live version Ren is singing so soft and like they said totally in the zone. The Studio version they are more balanced, but still amazing. Its also awesome how this hits people different, also a great thing about Ren, here is a song with Raw emotion (insert your emotion here)

[@danalynn2404]

❤Love this song so much. It should be on the Radio. Her real name is Daisy. They are so good together. Hope they do an album together. Chinchilla's are not good pets. I Rescued a male who had personality, but they wont sit still, thier hard to catch and they eat any cable or cord they find. They also live for 26 years. Kids are threw college and your still cleaning cages. Ended up rescueing a female as well. When the kids were all moved out I sold her for the price of all her gear. Unfortunately the male got a hold of the vacuum cord while it was still plugged in and passed away period but he was 20 years old. And it shocked me he didn't do that to himself ahead of time he went through 3VCR's Chords and 1DVD player 12 game ChargersI can't count how many other things he ate up but somehow he never electriculated himself before. He also ate a 5" wide whole threw my drywall. All this from his cage. The female was like a paperweight. Probably over bread. Thier cute but thier bones are like toothpicks and thier not good for family pets. Coats either😳

[@lynette.]

This is hauntingly beatiful always play it after chalk outlines.

[@justmejoy124]

Ive been binge watching reactions to Rens Suicide. Ive never felt a song so deeply as its a subject embedded in my soul personally so ive been crying all morning thats how truly raw it was. That said im now trying to resist that long term sadness ive carried for decades now. Im listening as im typing and idk this one's deep as well but ill be good now hopefully. Enjoy watching my friend and glad to see your friends with you bro💪🧡🙏

[@justmejoy124]

The semi colon is a symbol of hope many have tattooed it

[@justmejoy124]

I find it so hard to understand why suicide can't be spoke about but here in the states these sexual issues can be in schools. To me the s word is a matter inside all of us

[@lenechristiansen2663]

Tränen sind keine Schande. Ganz viel Liebe aus Dänemark. Lene61/🇩🇰

[@survivalrush]

You should do 'Chalk outlines' with Caine too. Their harmony in that is also magnificent. Great reaction as usual guys 👍

[@sandiraymond1761]

"I didn’t have puppy eyes. I was just checking on you." 😂😂 Right. 😉

[@dawnpatterson8708]

A great thing about Ren. Since he has such a wide variety of music and subjects. There are people I come across that I feel need to hear a particular song.

[@spiritforever1]

if this one hurtyou, just check his new one, Suic*de ! Strong and devastating. Ren is a God of Art. So unique. So precious.

[@PeteFindsObscureStuff]

And also Freckled Angels studio or live version

[@peterveste6976]

thank you for reacting to this one love you guys ❤❤❤

[@danag6756]

That song is so hauntingly beautiful. Thank you for doing a reaction to it with your friend.

[@gracegrit3009]

And your newest music video is my favorite…being intense and showing emotion, as you brought up in this video, made the song/video fire!!! Keep being more vulnerable.

[@bazm2024]

I love this. Guys talking about emotions.... how many times have you guys talked about that

[@francesmarinapatarangawhik4702]

...sooo captivating, Ren and Chinchilla. They compliment one another its beautiful. Love both your reactions, comfortable and truthful. Puppy eyes..Miharo te reo😆👍☝️🖼☝️🎇😌

[@dennisvernonhaydock]

Hi Anthony. I love your channel! This is one of my favorite Ren songs, adnd the performance is stunning. I wanted to clear up some misinformation that well-meaning people pass on about the How To Be being shot on the bridge Joe Hughes jumped from. There are several moments in the video in which a light-colored brick wall is visible on the right, glass doors or windows on the left, and the railing is too light-duty to be that of a bridge. I'm not sure how this story began, but I've only heard it in the last few months since Ren has become more well-known. Joe jumped from the Menai Bridge, which connects mainland Wales to the island of Anglesey. I've been across the Menai Bridge two times and can tell you that it's a beautiful, substantial, stone and wrought iron Victorian structure, and I can't imagine that it's the location of this video. There are some great photos of the bridge online. I'm not sure, but the Menai bridge may have been the first modern-engineered suspension bridge in the world. I kow it's at least one of the earliest. I've never seen or heard the location of the How to Be Me video spoken about by anyone who would have been there, but an outing of 90+ miles from Brighton would likely be documented and result in more than a single video It could have possibly been shot in the same location Bongo Bong was shot-the roof outside the flat shared by Gorran, Romaine, and Ren-but I can't see the same view in any other Big Push video. I don't have expert knowlege, and I could be wrong, but it seems better (for me) to not repeat the story until it's confirmed. We all know how social media can perpetuate misinformation. Someone should ask Ren about the location the next time he does a chat.

[@ricksurratt9034]

It’s wonderful in this time. The people are starting to feel empathy again I think we went to period of darkness last two years I’m ready.

[@KarriSimone]

His new song "Suicide" will bing it full circle . Much ❤️

[@HyperBole89]

I just love the love you guys have each other ❤ it’s beautiful.

[@DanielAlmli]

Fking love that you did both versions of this song. Both are soooo amazing! It is sutch a hard hitting song, that can be interpitet in many different ways. -Master Piece- I've lisened to and loved Ren for many years. This song is the most amazing, in a libray of amazingness.

[@dukecunning7046]

20:00 I haven't read all of the comments that would explain what you are wondering about. Ren had one of his best friends jump off a bridge when they were teenagers and it made him really sad. The thing is that when Ren was suffering with his misdiagnosed illness and was suffering horrendously and having a severe breakdown, he wanted to S-word; but, chose not to because he did not want his friends and family to suffer like he did when his friend passed.

[@amandacollins2854]

Great reaction ,thank you ❤

[@jessicacastro7824]

Ren and Chinchilla are amazing together

[@Lynnie_14]

Your right Anthony - Express your emotion through your music - Dont be embarrassed to do so - It sounds great on "Self Reflection". infact, I'd like to see you get a bit more fierce with that low growl - You should own it with the depth in your voice. 😘❤❤

[@outlawking4106]

@anthonyray don’t know how I missed this reaction. Been on one of your lives when you had Caine on and he seems such good and genuine guy....hope whatever he was going through at the time you made this, that he’s in a better place in his own head and life 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@robingayle68]

Chinchilla has said that she is very shy and the fingernails are like her armor ❤

[@sandyyoung9582]

Shame you didn't watch the live version with them in, awesome to see their faces performing in that version

[@Lynnie_14]

Puppy eyes - Yeah, Anthony, I'm proud of him too. He's doing a good job and you're a good role model. ❤

[@TheMilkManD]

Love hearing you guys speak Dutch and you're great together. Really appreciate the genuine banter and emotion, it's very refreshing

[@thehangingparsiple5692]

Enjoyed this so much. Thank you 💕

[@xxnik76]

Great reaction guys...love from Australia xx

[@coleeg69]

And his new song suicide even address his best friend way more. More of his guilt and pain clearly.

[@ndboulton]

realest reaction to this song ❤

[@chrisandrzeartform]

It's called safety....u have a legit care for each other n vulnerability is natural ....that's why it hits y'all different.....not sound off ...but y'all have a soul connection

[@goobydoot]

I love your reactions with best friend

[@kimzwolinski9919]

I have watched this easily 50 times and I still get chills. I really appreciate your reaction ❤😊

[@kjcile8334]

This song has become so personal to me. I feel every word in it. He lost his best friend. He jumped off a bridge & they never found him. It's a hard one.

[@marcthemarco5317]

that guy in the back is high as fuckk hahahhahahahahaha

[@813hustletrees8]

I love you played both of them the first is so much better to me with headphones in the live one is good cause of emotion

[@wandablevins4274]

i love yall together....

[@ryanjackson645]

god bless you both ANT LONG ROAD TRAVELED BEEN A GRIP STAY BLESSED

[@theredbarron100]

Not sure if you’ve already reacted to “Little Girl Gone” or “Fingers” (live version) by Chinchilla, but if not, highly recommend

[@patparker4280]

Such a lovely reaction from two lovely guys

[@Tessimistic420]

🎶🎶❤️🎶🎶 joined at the soul with a pair of headphones 🎧❤️

[@Dad-JanieWorld]

Have you done Chinchillas live version of Fingers?? It’s a must. Also cold water!! She is so talented. Please let’s blow her up as much as Ren!! Can’t wait to find the live fingers version!!!

[@nurselorie2271]

Chalk outlines with Ren and chinchilla

[@patisan]

Love seeing you two together. Keep showing up, loved your reaction ❤

[@glennhansen6794]

Great reaction.

[@claudiarovers9787]

❤ great reaction! And the Dutch was more Vlaams broeders 😂❤. But yeah, this song is amazing. And I have no idea how to say "in kaanon" singing in English either. 🤔

[@dianejones8225]

You 2 are good together. More reactions with the both of you 😊

[@puppenbuhnebauchkribbeln1183]

Good reaction 👌🏼

[@mickjuul1977]

Thank you for sharing some of your story.. We are ready for more if you want to share it.. ;) Seems like you have some good friends.. Hold on to them.. ;) Great reaction..

[@dukecunning7046]

I enjoy watching you guys react to Ren. I'm hoping someone suggests Ren's new video "Eden". I am curious. My favorites of you guys so far was 1) Your MOST AWESOME reaction to War Pigs, 2) the I Shot the Sheriff, etc reaction, I liked the Chalk Outlines better than this one, though. (not sure if I saw you guys do that one. But, Liking everything you guys do. Thanks. Have a Nice Day.

[@UKmarlee]

Good show anthony! Renegade 🇬🇧 ❤❤❤❤❤

[@goobydoot]

Power is a happy song…and most of his busking vids…

[@enigmaticbird]

The harmony of these 2 beautiful souls is stunning! As for Chinchilla I could be wrong but you guys have the wrong “equipment” 😅

[@kwall0304]

First videos I've watch of yours mate, gonna consume some more. But don't apologize about the Dutch please! If you are worried about us ignorant English only speakers, sub titles would be a okay fix. switch to that to get your point across to each other makes me feel Ren really had you thinking a feeling what you said. (also love that ren is bring all these new reactors and artists to my attention. Loving the Ren-aissance!)

[@BallisticAero]

"she fine" "No, Ren's fine" Me: both of you are correct

[@SnakeScience]

Now as far as I understand, the live video was a performance where they/we lost rens friend, when he "Gave up the fight". Inform yourselves about the story. I think it is crucial to understand ren.

[@nurselorie2271]

Chalk outlines

[@SpencerLeeOfficial]

you need to show Caine Ren - Suicide

[@cindyd.01]

What is that bottle of orange stuff?! More Dutch. 😊

[@GreyfauxxGaming]

This prob been said a thousand times, but this def about his friend joe who committed suicide, I believe he missed a text or call from him, and when he woke up he found out he lept of a bridge and his body was swept out to sea. The semi-colon is reference to suicide. Now this only my own theory. But at the end of the song he says "I miss you so" but I have this theory that the original last line was "I miss you joe" the friend he lost.

[@belindamelville2270]

❤❤❤

[@ranahooke1907]

Please show him Chinchilla doing her song ‘Fingers’ live!!

[@pirada74]

❤❤❤❤

[@suedryden1182]

It's about his friend Joe that jumped off the bridge late one night. Ren ran to try and stop him but he missed him by only a few minutes. Joe's body was never found. Ren and chinchilla are actually singing this song on the same bridge. It was a live performance filmed in one take.

[@JoesNoseAppreciationSociety1]

They are on a balcony. It’s not the bridge. You can even see a building to the left. It’s possibly the same balcony as the Genesis live video. I’ve not compared the two though so don’t take my word for it.

[@suedryden1182]

Thank you. 👍 I thought they were on the bridge. ❤️

[@seagull01-cp8pb]

Lovely reaction with your bro. Not convinced about Justin Bieber though😜🦇

[@ElleScamp]

Ain’t no shame with puppy dog eyes Anthony (Justin Bieber on the other hand… j/k). Ren and Chinchilla are amazing together - definitely soul siblings. And this song _is_ incredibly moving. I hope you and your bud react to Ren’s Suic*de together. Also can’t wait for you to delve into solo Chinchilla ✌❤

[@shaerowe-bembridge7537]

Chinchilla is SO fine though. something about her energy and power is so attractive to me, as well as her looks, as a woman in a straight relationship hahaha

[@debrashrider4062]

I have been informed by teens in my area that the symbol of a semi-colon all alone represents suiciide. That S word YT frowns so fiercely on.

[@danalynn2404]

Ren lost his best friend from a choice he made on a Bridge😢

[@annfarmer9704]

I think the reason this hits your friend harder in your studio is because you must have the top of the line sound system. because ONLY YOUR channel utilizes BOTH speakers on my cell phone. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I HAD TWO SPEAKERS!!!! the last line is for Joe. his friend he lost to starts with s and ends with ide. does anyone else feel this is not only censorship, but just ridiculous? some things NEED to be discussed. what if more s. ides happen BECAUSE they weren't able to reach out or hear others that found a way to get through on the breathing side of their situation? I thought it sounded very hot hearing you speak in your native tongue....I don't get to hear different languages to often where I live. I was listening to one of your songs and you were going back and forth using both languages and I thought it sounded amazing. it has a musicality to it. some languages aren't....like Japanese. I love to hear it spoken.....put it in a song and WHOA! it's all wrong! I would LOVE to hear Ren rap in Welsh! wouldn't that sound outrageous? probably give his tongue a muscle cramp! all the best to you & yours! ♥️🎶🙏🎶♥️ Ann

[@claudiarovers9787]

I wonder if S isn't allowed. Can you say zelfmoord? Is only English demonized?

[@davidthompson1069]
