FIRST TIME HEARING CHALK OUTLINES by REN & Chinchilla | REACTION

[@jjkehrley]

Someone mentioned awhile back that the reason the Ren community is so into reaction videos is that it's the closest thing we can get to the feeling of watching each video for the first time. It's like a drug in a way, but one with really no negative and only positive effects! It's brought the Renegades together into a network of positivity!

[@TheRevWillNotBeTelevised]

Sorry to break your happy bubble but 'Renegades' are often quite exclusitory. In every way you can imagine. Ren is a fucking genius, his fans... not so much, and I include myself in that. Ren is doing his thing, and there is a certain level of manipulation is involved. He is not Jesus, nor is he fully aware of the strings he is pulling. He is also fucking amazing... Oldest profession in the world, or am i confused? 🤣

[@marissanorth85]

​@TheRevWillNotBeTelevised have you polled everyone? Or you just putting them into one category and claiming you're right?

[@staceychristopher8141]

Well said!!! 🎉

[@user-iq42]

This is so true. I love music. I love Ren. Something important happens when people listen to him and I'm grateful that they share it. ❤

[@cliftonwarren1]

High top, you’ve mentioned the Renegades a few times now like we’re a private group behind a door. Well, my friend, you have already stepped in with us and became part of the hive. Welcome to the club…keep your arms and legs inside the yellow lines and enjoy the ride!

[@Oitsugina93]

You are so right about Renagades not feeling alone, I think many of us are tortured in some way. For me also, Ren has restored my faith in humanity and music. ❤ ❤❤

[@christo4robn]

Ren has another powerful collaboration with Chinchilla; "HOW TO BE ME" - Enjoying your reactions! Enjoy the rabbit hole ride; it's a good one. It's stunning how this guy doesn't miss.

[@lulumeto]

I think I love How To Be Me even more than this one. It's so hard to pick a Ren favorite.

[@mcguigance]

I have a 24 year old son and this and Hi Ren has helped me to understand mental health especially in a young man ..im his Mum and I was brought up to get on with it but i didnt have social media and didn't have to deal with yhe lockdown which must have been crazy at that age ..Ren is just helping me get it a bit more than I know it would.

[@RobertOHanlon-i8v]

if you wish to understand Ren the person more, watch his Million subscriber video or some of the interviews he has done.

[@hilarycharman-2924]

Please react to his One Million Subscribers video. It's only 5 minutes.

[@bhallb23]

Idk what song was suggested but “How to be Me (live)” is also gut wrenching (but absolutely beautiful) I also highly recommend some of Chinchilla’s music too!

[@momstin58]

The Renegades are definitely there for each other, you no longer feel so alone. If you want to hear just what an amazing talent Chinchilla is, you have to watch Fingers Live. It’s truly an awe inspiring performance. 💜💜

[@khristianacampbell3356]

And Ren surrounds himself with the best of the best!

[@AdamBazille]

"The Hunger"! ❤

[@MissyGail4eva]

A tribute song, 'For Joe', probably.. the bit at the end is about and for him...

[@patriciaobrien6600]

Cherophobia is the fear of being happy. More common than we think probably. I'm glad it resonated with you. It's an amazing song. Thank u for your heartfelt reaction ❤

[@staceyk5682]

Loving your Ren journey so far! Chinchilla is an extraordinary performer, her and Ren are both very emotional singers and together they are just incredible. Definitely check out some of her work also

[@AdamBazille]

"REN is like watching a new person each time" YES! I COULDNT OF SAID IT ANY BETTER BROTHER! ❤

[@victormorgan7766]

Back To 74 Message In A Bottle retake 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!

[@justicedelayed]

Very much appreciate the willpower it takes to not just go on a Ren binge and consume all of his music in one long sitting. I, like so many here, enjoy watching genuine reactions because I can only experience each Ren song for the first time once. But I can experience it through the reactions of others as they really feel it for the first time. Looking forward to more!

[@Theogvineofthedead]

Yeah coping we all do it. Such a beautiful song, great reaction and commentary

[@erichburger1935]

Welcome to the rabbit hole Alice. Literally the Ren rabbit hole will reshape your perspective on music. And as a musician and producer who studies music branding and neuro-marketing... Ren is one if not the only true master of the art and science of human connection through music. But he has so many amazing songs. I mean all the way down to the bottom he has gold. I would say out of the 200+ videos he has posted only about 10 to 15 missed me. And somewhere between 20 and 50 blew my mind completely and reframed my outlook on music. This is an incredible journey with and incredible and diverse community surrounding it. Renegades love to see how others experience Rens music and message. So will future generations. This dude will be studied once people truly figure out what he's doing.

[@hilarycharman-2924]

I'm really enjoying your journey, thank you for all your Ren reactions.

[@Eleonoor]

You being so impressed with his range makes me feel you should probably do “the hunger” next and then, absolutely, “Mackay” after that.

[@AdamBazille]

"Losing it!" Rap rap REN! SO MUCH MORE THOUGH! YOURE IN FOR A HELL OF A RIDE! 😂❤

[@francesdoll4039]

This song is one of Ren's favorite songs. The one his people cant clear the copyright because Chinchilla helped write it and she now signed. I think you mught like Hold On. By Ren. It's from 2015 ehen he was quite sick ,confined to his house. But its great!

[@MegsD79]

Then after Hold On you should do the Spontaneous Stream Jam from Twitch. ❤❤❤

[@tjh5716]

I’m a renegade. Just love the art. No one else can do what he does. And yes it’s refreshing to hear substantive topics in lyrics and art. He makes me think and not many people do.

[@ready__to__fall]

Great reaction! ✨ Every song of Ren will be something new to you. I highly recommend to check out the band he’s been into - The Big Push „I shot the sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop“ (the vid from 2 years ago).

[@sigally]

You're right He is so versatile and does so much more than pain sad music. When you're ready to get out of the sad bag, there's so much more. Lots of sad song suggestions in the comments so I wanted to let you know about his other stuff. Murderer, Illest of our Time, Genesis, Nas Halftime Retake, Losing It just to name a few.😊

[@1tommymulligan]

Another stunning video they do together is How To Be Me (Live) also Check out The Hunger, The Tale of Jenny and Screech Trilogy, Genisis, Dominoes , I could go on forever and every song not what your expecting then there's his previous band The Big Push and their music.

[@mcguigance]

Back on 74 for a vibe and you are right you do it as you find the songs ❤😊

[@sunshynff]

I've seen ya react to 3 Ren songs now, and the first words that come to mind are........ One of us, one of us, one of us, one of us!! 😂😂 Great reaction brother, keep up the good work! ✌💚

[@Dragonheart24993]

Oh boy! You just scratch the surface of what is Ren. He has a song for every mood you're in. For me that is: If I'm feeling masochistic and the tissue's are on sale: Ren X Chinchilla - How To Be Me (Live) If I want a fun upbeat song: Ren - Losing it (FISHER Rap Version) If I want to vibe: Ren - Power (Official Music Video) If I don't want to feel alone with my sickness: Ren - Seven Sins (Official Lyric Video) If I'm nostalgic (yes, I'm that old): Ren - Back on 74 / Message In A Bottle retake And the list goes on and on and on and on and... if you catch my drift, 😁😉

[@Januaribarn]

True and some of them can initially seem to fit one mood only but after a few listens they can surprise you and shape shift depending on your own mood. To me for example Hi Ren used to be feel a little heavy to listen to as my emotional reaction could be quite aggressive from 20 years of suppressed emotions, but with every listen it’s helped me release to the point where it will still get me there and release more shit when I’m in a low mood but surprisingly it’s also become the complete opposite. When I’m happy it’s *that* song, the one that hypes you up, makes you dance in public (some serious head bops bordering headbanging, rap hands and bouncing from side to side bad-side-ren-style in my case) it makes me feel full of confidence and cool af even tho I probably look everything but cool and I couldn’t care less. It fills me with happiness and everything positive in the same way losing it does. I’ve never experienced music that can invoke intense emotions that are totally opposite each other before ren. Occurred to me while typing this out that Hi Ren really is a perfect representation of the pendulum or yin yang, perfectly balanced between the dark and the light.

[@OjayCore]

Thank you bro, your a cool reactor I’ve just binged all your Ren videos and absolutely enjoyed the Ride with you!

[@johnpegues5701]

Thanks!

[@rentrespect6561]

its the song we WISHED was performed at the Grammys and would win song of the year. .but they never would allow it. .indie artists is the way to go. . Ren uses Bandcamp for distribution. smart

[@butterflymama0838]

And THAT ladies & gentlemen is how we came to know about Chinchilla. Now, that is another great rabbit hole too. Nice reaction!

[@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.

[@barbarahatcher5942]

Thank you for saving your Ren experience for us to share with you!! It’s been so fun already and we are always waiting for the next installment. Awesome channel!

[@NanaM1984]

That line hit me the hardest too! I relate to pretty much the whole song. It took many listens before I wasn't super emotional afterwards. It's like someone reading your private thoughts. There are so many more to discover, all different moods. ❤

[@TealOmen]

If it's a tissue required song it may be "for Joe" , SUicide, how to be me (another song with Chinchilla ) or Mackay (which is an instrumental). Ren is a genre bending bard so just keep exploring. He collaborates with a variety of artists as well His band The Big Push shows another different style of Ren , back on 74 retake is excellent (Re-take for Ren is using the original source music and putting his own spin on it) , for his Rap skills try The Hunger and Losing it Retake.

[@patriciaobrien6600]

I needed a tissue for Crutch as well 😢

[@KittyInTheGarden]

I don't know what song that other person was referring to, but I would highly recommend How to be me, the live version. It's another collaboration with Chinchilla. Ren doesn't have any songs about parenting, per se, but I think Dominoes touches on issues that parents should be aware of.

[@Januaribarn]

Could’ve referred to the middle part in “For Joe” between suicide pt2 and freckled angels perhaps? In the dominoes-esque lyrics.. i mean tissues would def be required for that one

[@marianneszijj]

This song is pretty hard-hitting. It can make you really rethink how you are living your life and dealing with your problems. Nice reaction. You have Only seen the tippy top of the iceberg. 😉 💔❤️‍🩹❤️

[@heatherleonbruno6662]

Never have I ever felt a song so fully and deeply. Just incredible.

[@DonnaPoynton.]

IT is mesmerising and beautiful

[@salishseamermaid]

Love love love this song! And to think, you've only just scratched the surface. 😊 How about some live, busking-in-the-streets Ren? He was in a band called The Big Push, and they've got some great street performance videos. A good starting point is their cover mashup of I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip-hop. Or if you're in the mood for rap, Illest Of Our Time is a good intro to that side of Ren. And his Love Music series (parts 1-4) covers a lot of genres and it's just plain fun. 😊

[@mandynoske5809]

I haven't met a Ren song I haven't ❤ yet lol thanks for the reaction 😊

[@mama-llama4527]

❤

[@AdamBazille]

Best REN song (besides HI REN) ❤ Have fun on your REN journey brother! I'll be here for the whole ride!

[@jodiwest3534]

12 hours ago! I'm excited for you too. Just about to start watching. Subbed on you watching all three money games in one go which was an impressive feat honestly. That's a lot of truth to absorb in one go lol

[@jodiwest3534]

This is gonna be good though. It's one of my faves. Please do I don't know how to be me live version, his other chinchilla Collab asap. I would love to see you react to that. I play it multiple times a day atm

[@jamaykapranion1130]

It's one of my favorite Ren songs. Thanks for the reaction!

[@michaelphipps8647]

How to be Me (live) by Ren and Chinchilla is just as good!

[@lorihutcheon5363]

This one is Painfully Beautiful and incredibly relatable

[@helenjarvis7755]

Thanks for your thoughts 💖🎶

[@jenk4653]

This is another powerful song. They are beautiful together. I can relate to this song on a very deep personal level.

[@edelgardgoldmann4542]

Beautiful 🎉

[@user-iq42]

I suggest Genesis and The Hunger for hip hop. 'Losing it' is so much fun! If you haven't checked out Murderer, both acoustic live and the video are awesome. Ready for You and Ocean are spiritual for real. Thank you for doing this. ❤

[@iamsquatty]

**ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED** congratulations ! You have discovered new ren friend chinchilla! Welcome to another rabbit hole to fall down 😂💜💜🐇🕳

[@DogDocKat]

This is such an amazing song. One of my favourites. I'm scared of being okay because all things change... that line hits so hard! Loved this reaction. Check out How To Be Me as well by these two 💜💜

[@Aaronblkgt]

Crucify the culture or the 90s baby 😂that's a funny one

[@jodiwest3534]

Oh. The chair. The reverb. But the chair. Cherophobia. Is the fear of being happy. I TOTALLY get how you feel. And the longer the happy is? You know the worse the unhappy is going to be (this is not necessarily true but it can be and it always feels like that esp if you have been through trauma or abuse) scared of being ok because its such an alien state for some (me).

[@Dr.Brummel]

Thanks for the great reaction. ❤ There is another great colab: 'Ren ft. Bibi - Crutch'. A song for which there are far too few reactions. It's so heartbreaking, beautiful and deep. Absolutely underrated in my opinion. And it 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. If I understood correctly, it was the basis for his Lyme disease diagnosis.

[@mattcavanagh5701]

If you want a smile, check out the “love music” series by ren. For more chinchilla, fingers ( live for hunger tv) or little girl gone are my suggestions.

[@carolineyates4746]

I watched this last year after i had started coming off opioids, been on them for 30 years, took a few months but did it and Rens music helped and helps me a lot,. then i had a car accident in February and had to go back on them but only took them for a short while as didnt want to rely on them. the line 'take them just in case' is very true and I'm sure many of us have been there.

[@MegsD79]

💜💜💜 If you want to check out more Chinchilla I would suggest: "How To Be Me" Live Ren X Chinchilla "Sexual Healing" Ren X Chinchilla Busking Live "One Dance/Drunk In Love" (Drake/Beyonce Cover) Ren X Chinchilla Busking Live Then her solo stuff, everything is amazing but my favorites are: "Fingers" Live for HungerTV "Little Girl Gone" "Cut You Off" "MF Diamond" ❤❤❤❤ New sub from your reaction to Jenny and Screech❤❤❤❤

[@hilarycharman-2924]

I think you deserve a fun one now. Losing It, What You Want, Power are all great or you could check out his band The Big Push doing I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hiphop. Make sure its this mash up one though and not just I Shot The Sheriff.

[@erichburger1935]

As for recommendations I'm a big fan of Heretic, losing it, insomnia, Diazepam. But there are a ton more love music3 is a bomb, money game series bombs, crucify your culture, most of the sick Boi album. Just a word to the wise, when you see multiple versions of a Ren joint, ask the community which you should react to. Some performances are transporter beam next level. Those are what your looking for. Oh except for Murderer. Either one is worthy, so you can react to both. They are really like two different songs, but equally as good.

[@Peacetrain66]

That is the lyric that hit me the hardest too. I so relate. Always feeling like the rug will be pulled out from under you if things start going too well.

[@stevemisog]

I think you need to take a deep dive into the rabbit hole and check out the songs he wrote while his health was at it's worst. Songs like "Diazepam", "Ready For You", "Penitence" (with Molly McKinna), "Everybody Drops", "Crutch" (with his ex, Bibi), "Heretic" "Dear God", "Hold On", "Humble" (with Eden Nash). It's a sad truth that it's when he was feeling at death's door that he did arguably his best stuff. Masterpieces every one of them.

[@credibleink]

🔥 reaction. Keep it going and get that guitar!! 🎸😀 I’d like to see you smile and laugh next, so you should do Losing It or What You Want. 👍

[@lorihutcheon5363]

In your private time I highly recommend watching REN’s interview on the Zack Sang show!

[@mrmidlife2546]

If this is your first encounter with Chinchilla, get ready. Another reactor put it best when they said listening to her can give you the Chin-Chills. Welcome to the world with these 2 in it, I think you'll like it here. :)

[@chrisanderson879]

Fantastic reaction man I appreciate you for sharing your thoughts and experience bro stay up

[@rodb9275]

I subbed to your channel. I'm obsessed with reactions to Ren. Please do more. There's a ton .You haven't scratched the surface. You MUST check out his stuff with his band "The Big Push". You will definitely see another side of him. Then you have to do his RAP RAP stuff. I've never liked rap in the past, but I'm obsessed with his rap stuff. Losing It is actually my favorite of all his songs. And that's VERY rap rap. He is so amazingly talented. And then if you want to be a little different from most reactors, check out his EARLY stuff in his older band "Trick the Fox" Some great stuff there and it's fun to see him young. Please do NOT listen to more Ren on your own. Do it with us. We Renegades LOVE these raw reactions.

[@HightopReacts]

JUST DROPPED LOSING IT! BANGER

[@Lunabracco]

How to be me .... Is a must !! ❤

[@Libbydoh]

Chinchilla's solo stuff is primo and ren was in a busking band called the big push that rocked. Thanks!

[@winterlady]

Welcome to the renegades. ❤ We’re here for exactly that reason.

[@Relaxwithnomes]

Love your Ren reactions. 🇬🇧♥️🇬🇧

[@stacie9229]

Renegade here to support your channel. Great already. More Ren! Stacie from Boston

[@dave.james007]

Ren also has another KZbin channel called ren makes stuff highly recommend checking it out Harry Mack does a tribute to Ren and its amazing there is some other cool stuff there as well...can i suggest making a playlist then you won't get inundated with the same song requests if you want a fun Ren song..... love music 1,2,3,4 or power fantastic reaction btw ✌️

[@adam.4487]

Other's mentioned it, but I will also Ren "How To Be Me" live with Chinchilla. I think it might require tissues. :)♥ Oh and "Dominoes" I do think it's also a lyric video, that one rips my heart open it's so sad. Definitely need tissues for that one.

[@john_wise]

Ok, now it's time for some of Ren's more up-beat tracks, to counter all of these deep feelings: Down on the Beat - Featuring Viktus (who plays the pig character) What You Want (Beastie Boys homage) Losing It (FISHER Rap Version) Power Animal Flow Illest of Our Time Univited Wicked Ways Loco Seven Sins

[@LauKaMo]

As u mentioned his range... U should go for "The Hunger" by Ren or "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop" by The big Push (Rens band). Both will show u another example for his range. And both are as different as it could be. Also Back on 74 Retake by Ren will show u another Ren. In this one he combines "old" music with new style. But hey, take ur time. There is a lot to discover. :P

[@rveino2978]

🔥🤘🔥

[@cathrinewitty6749]

Absolutely loving your channel 🙌🏻. There are two more I recommend, “how to be me” & “suic!de” and then definitely some fun ren is needed I recommend… The big push - i shot the sheriff/road to Zion The hunger Animal flow (which is the craziest one take video) Back on 74’ - message in a bottle The big push - war pigs Illest of our time Nas retake - halftime Murderer And maybe the love music series Hope this helps.

[@tiamariamunro]

Did that loud chair snap at the beginning make you feel uneasy? Cherophobia being a fear of being ok, so also linked to feeling uneasy... 🤯 Even the layers have layers 😉 really enjoying your journey down the rabbit hole, here for the binge watch if u need to 😅

[@Kibashino2]

LESSS GOOO

[@VideosbyLisaLisa]

I know you don't want to watch any interviews (though watching &/or reacting to his 1 million subscriber video is recommended), so I'm going to suggest his 59-second short about his daily routine since it explains some stuff: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWfNfIiDidGZjZYsi=sxKxsAGNQZtf1nJE A completely different non-music video that gives you a peek into his brain is "Eden," which was played at the end of a crazy-cool riddle game/hunt thing that promoted MGpart3 before it launched. IDK if there's a video about that, but it was crazy having people all over the world working together trying to solve these riddles. And everyone was sharing clues via Google docs and other social media. It was collaborative and unique and really f'ckn hard. I was so glad when Ren posted Eden on its own, so you don’t *have* to know about the game. Not a song, not personal per se, but philosophy.

[@Bonjovicrzy]

@HightopReacts I am a new subscriber another Renegade here I watched all your Ren videos, but KZbin will only allow me to replay once per day for each channel, (not sure why) but I am loving all your reactions so far I do not think watching the Ren interviews will spoil the discovery of his art and music I think it will help you understand Him and his music and art better, and appreciate it better .... Ren keeps surprising us all each song is different, you will not be disappointed ,,, but I have one recommendation to mix his songs up He does have light and fun songs and the videos with his band The Big Push and His first band was Trick The Fox (baby Ren) those are light and fun and some of his solo stuff is light to … two interview videos I like is Justin Hawkins Rides Again"The Ren Interview" (Ren 1st interview, and he was excited someone wanted to interview him) Zach Sang "New Album Sick Boi, Chronic Illness, Hi Ren, Lyme Disease" he really opens up I like to how he explains his songs ...

[@iamlpinthe312]

Living with chronic pain or illness, the emotional and psychological toll it takes on a person is exhausting, and very isolating. “ Push it all down ( ignore or push through the pain- be it physical, emotional or mental- with a new habit ( a distraction of some sort or another).

[@captainlaserbeam6295]

For some reason, this makes me think of 90's grunge. I could imagine Chris Cornell or Eddie Vedder singing this (not saying the current vocals aren't amazing).

[@jamescroteau8499]

Love your hoodie

[@belindamelville2270]

❤❤❤❤

[@Lift_Eachother_Up]

❤❤❤❤ YOU MY FRIEND NEED SOME FUN REN... YOU ARE DOING A LOT OF HIS DEEPER STUFF. YOU SAID YOU ARE A MOVIE BUFF. CHECK OUT HIS LOSING IT FISHER RETAKE. Let's see how many movie references you can find. ❤❤ from a gal in ND

[@pakratunloading]

Do Crutch or Penitence, two of his earlier Masterpieces in my opinion.

[@Snookloop99]

If you want to know the truth about the music industry and how it has been controlled by dark forces for the past 70/80 year just read the works of MARK DEVLIN in his trilogy of books Musical Truths volume 1, 2, and 3. Ren is absolutely right about it all being cut throat and in my opinion is waking other musicians up and not to go down that route. It was a blessing in disguise he did not sign with SONY.🙏🙏🙏. Bless you REN you absolute MF Genius that you are.🌟🙏💖

[@Raygun249]

Please react to Ren and Chinchilla “How to be Me”.

[@momishka7]

And now you have to fall down the chinchilla hole yeah

[@Bre-dm8go]

U gotta do how to be me next it's even better than this one

[@anastaziehall-selwyn4936]

I know that you didn't do that there, but when you're listening in other Ren's reactions to song and speak, we don't understand you clearly, please stop the video and then speak 😅
