GOING DOWN THIS RABBIT HOLE! REN X CHINCHILLA- CHALK OUTLINES (LIVE)

[@jamesw6899]

A perfect day is a “beautiful shame” because you can’t enjoy it… waiting for something bad to happen. I don’t know how you could sum it up any better than “a beautiful shame”

[@llchristensen77]

The line that hits SO HARD for me in this is, "I'm scared of being okay cuz all things change." Like I felt that in my being. Scared of good times because you know bad times are coming too. Oof. Reminds me of the pendulum of dark and light he talks about in Hi Ren.

[@juliediamond3003]

Big time

[@Budini67]

Same here...

[@diveplane05]

These lyrics. I suppose it's a Beatles reference to, "Let It Be" If, indeed it is a Beatles reference..... Flippen brilliant! It would be fitting since they're both from Britain. But so it goes, let it be In the gallows, I balanced on my toes So I can breathe

[@marpsy2024]

Same same same

[@MrSoulPatrol]

Me too. One of the best lines ever. I´ll have on my t-shirt.

[@dennishollibaugh8247]

If Ren should teach us all one thing, it should be this: if you always give your best even at your worst, you bring out the best in those around you. I love what this man is doing to help people, even when he needs help himself. Ren may feel his life was cursed, but he was truly blessed; and I am blessed by his testimony. ❤🔥🍻

[@MikeB12800]

Beautiful comment!

"Smile through the pain" is not just a saying, it's many a people's truth.

[@TheChristafershawn]

Great reaction, many of us felt love for Ren.... instantly after hearing his sincerity. There's a reason why he's suddenly blowing up in these strange times we are living. His reach is vast and needed. Peace.

[@juliasharon5337]

i felt that too- also suffer from same illness he has for many decades- so i get it- great energy- beautiful soul and so talented- its time for those hidden to be seen...

[@TheChristafershawn]

@@juliasharon5337 For sure, take care.

[@annefirethorn3847]

So many of us needed this... that is certain

[@lillyvanpug]

They harmonize so beautifully. It's gut-wrenching how much pain they can make you feel 😭

[@pamelacummins8885]

I struggle every day. I love d. This video. Thank you so much ❤️😘💕📸📷

[@martingilluk1]

Thank you from Ren's family for your sweet blessings xxx

[@Cynthiabecker24]

Thankyou Martin, you must be so proud to watch your son impacting our lives. We all feel like he is a part of our families, and as so, we want to see him healed, healthy and free from his pain. I love the childhood you were able to offer Ren, with music, emotional maturity and exposure to other cultures. Loving him and your family from mine, in Melbourne Australia🙏🌏💙.

[@martingilluk1]

@@Cynthiabecker24 thanks Cynthia. Ren went to playgroup in North Fitzroy when his mum and I were working at LaTrobe uni!

[@Cynthiabecker24]

@@martingilluk1 lol... that's ironic. My family grew up in Fitzroy, my Dad played AFL(footy) for Fitzroy(the lions). Cheers for your response and involvement with us who adore Ren and his music. Take care.💙

[@danig2029]

This is one of my favorite songs by Ren. He and Chinchilla....beautiful! The space they are in is meant to add to the acoustics. Brilliant!

[@nessid1986]

9:08 no you are not weird for that ! because i also instantly fell in love with ren his lyric his voice his person his art..chinchilla killed it with this one too ! Prayers go out !

[@bojnebojnebojne]

The rawness of it all just hits me right in the soul.

[@CleoCat75]

fantastic, thanks for going down the rabbit hole!! Chalk Outlines is great, definitely mainstream potential even though that's not Ren's thing it would certainly help his exposure. Thanks for shouting out the gofundme also!

[@TheGingering]

I love that you guys have jumped in this rabbit hole. I also loved you both instantly.

[@studioborgatta3504]

Give love to chinchilla's platforms as well, she is unbelievable, my god

[@Bent_not_Broke]

You're not crazy for falling in love. It's authenticity! You can see it in all their physical expressions, the lyrics, the flow, EVERYTHING!! I fell too, and I also fell for you a few reactions ago. We are in sync with our emotional reactions to Ren's music... I can see, hear, and feel your authenticity. Like a beautiful gem or a beacon in the night, glowing and shining in what can feel like such a different, disconnected world! Love you guys 💕

[@sec1720]

We are all falling in love with his music

[@Frogger]

My favourite song from Ren's library! Brings me close to tears every time

[@kimzwolinski9919]

This is one of my favorites and I feel the same way Jai . I watched a ton of reactions to Hi Ren. I felt nervous for him every time and then when the song ended and the person loved the song I felt proud as if I had something to do with it 😂 ❤

[@meganthemom]

SAME! Lol

[@jackieturner6773]

Me too lol😂

[@Thekillerhillz]

right he makes you feel so connected to him

[@angelaprzybylski1425]

Omg I hadn't yet gotten to this song. He's such an amazing and relatable artist. And wow the 2 of them singing together was beautiful

[@Jadedxx]

Wait til you hear How To Be Me with the 2 of them. Chills the whole time 🔥

[@dennisvernonhaydock]

If you've fallen in love with them here, check out "Ren X Chinchilla - How To Be Me (live)" I've never heard any other duet like it.

[@julesbc9031]

Definitely ❤

[@cosmicdebris5260]

I've been blessed to have been a listener and watcher of Ren for several years he's an incredible person have been praying for him daily. Much peace and love to you🌿💔

[@aaronandfelicia]

I literally cannot get enough of this. Most genuine music in 30+ years #prayersforREN

[@henry1294]

Listen to NF ~Hope....Epic Masterpiece !!! Enjoy !!!

[@spacemanmichael38]

You can always tell when it comes from the heart and soul.

[@STILL-KICKIN]

They are two angels in the basement of a hospital near the morgue, sending us a clarion message at the top of their lungs. Let that sink in…

[@allrise3056]

Ren has made good use of his short time on Earth already. Think of the hours spent honing those skills. Forget video game “achievements”, this is a worthy one. Time Management.

[@andynewberry6535]

Wonderful reaction. You guys are a great duo and one of best channels. GOD bless.

[@godlikemonolith]

I lived in Brighton England in his hometown for 16 years and used to hear him busk on the weekend all the time. He was incredible then and now.

[@ShayKane64]

Lovely of you both to give Ren’s GoFundMe a shout out and asking for prayers…. You both are good people ❤️

[@dangermaus9253]

You make a great point about relating to music, finding meaning within it and connecting to it. Ren's music is so human, so inherently relatable and insightful.

[@jw1289]

Utterly beautiful yet sad song. Another great reaction.

[@cas9065]

Chinchilla has some great songs of her own on youtube as well. But their live version if How to be me is my favourite. Of these.

[@StephiesCorner]

Ren and Sam are masters at live videos utilizing natural acoustics. The mortar hallways like this and also the stairwell in Violet's Tale. Chef's kiss 💋

[@saz4860]

This is a beautiful song. I love their song 'how to be me' that's 🔥🔥

[@christilehman-starr4428]

All good things and live long and prosper to Ren 🖖🏻🙏🌺

[@jameskelly3764]

Thank you for asking for prayers for ren . Humanity is still beautiful

[@joe8597]

Respect for talking about his illness and his go fund me and with sincerity too, you are good people, you have a new subscriber from the uk, much love

[@davidhorner5917]

Great hearing honest heartfelt comments from 2 real humans

[@madcat528]

I always get chills from this song. I send all my love to this amazing man!

[@Hoosieryakcats]

When you get that chill up your spine and goosebumps up your arms , that's when you know the music is real and real good .

[@Amy_just_loves_music]

I so loved this reaction! Ren is my new favorite artist. Notice I said artist. I found his go fund me back when he first put it out....donated what I could. I love he's independent, doing what he can on his own. I know Sony dropped him when they realized how long his recovery would be. Stupid on their part, but yay for his fans. Being misdiagnosed for years, I feel for Ren. Like you, Jai, I'm in love ❤️

[@davidkeller6718]

Love is honest. What they are singing about is at all levels. Even free from drugs can we be who we really are. In this world? Beautiful.

[@cas9065]

You two are truly wonderful. Did you ever do videos showing us why Tupac and Prince are so special? Would live to see both through your eyes.

[@collinking4310]

Great reaction guy's this is my favorite track by Ren and the duet is amazing 👏

[@CAbrell69]

All his work is live one takes! No auto tunes. Hes the real deal Fam! Hes so extremely talented! And the two of you are beautiful souls. I just love yall

[@ArchArrow1]

I totally agree with your view on music. And Jai you're not weird for feeling that love, I feel that way too. ❤

[@kevinbowler1103]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this . . . thank you for taking the time to dive into ren.

[@MommaOsoIrish67]

The music that touches, is music that is personal experience...

[@crazywickedcustoms7272]

Yes, I will pray for him thank you for letting us know, god bless you and your family too

[@liamwild666]

Keep up the good work. Love from the UK and all our thoughts for Ren, touching our hearts, providing inspiration and insight.

[@kimberlymiller3262]

I love : How Ren uses architectural acoustics, whether inside or out on the streets, for their inherent musical resonance, and also how he graciously defers to those he pairs up with for a song -- even when busking, he allows his bandmates or fellow vocalists to shine -- he blends himself in and lets their contributions radiate until it is his time to roar. Above all his talent and skill, he seems to be a good soul and an admirable champion in the face of so many painful foes. Thank you for calling out for his emotional support, his financial support, and for divine intervention on his behalf. #HOG#

[@lynnborsa7201]

Girl, you have one of the purest hearts.

[@thepickingpauper9652]

Lyricists are modern day poets! I absolutely love a good line in a song... Ren is unbelievable at delivering just that! So impressed by this young man! Thanks for helping spread his art!

[@carlbaker7242]

Wow, does this man have any idea how the reflections of his songs and music has such good vibes. He is so easy to love and listen to. 🙏 Prayers to him and his love one's .Also I love where he's prefromaning.

[@loadedorygun]

The kids are all right, man. I’m glad I’m not the only one moved by their mutual power off each other.

[@jonreed6448]

You need to check out these two doing 'How to be Me', just exquisite and beautiful harmonies and song, another hard message song with meaningful content, we so need more music like this.

[@jice7074]

I'm going through his music and I'm in love with this one and Chinchilla is amazing, I'll be checking out "How to be me" next.

[@jamescurrie7678]

Half and Jai, it’s like you re-found yourselves with Ren. But because you are reacting to real music and for that as you have had for many years you have my love and respect

[@donbeck5109]

You can see the chemistry, and you can hear and feel it. It’s gorgeous

[@louiseobrien8866]

You 2 are lovely, I hear wisdom and experience in your reaction to this.... and you are right, Ren and Chinchilla are amazing together as performers ❤️ I hope one day to see them perform live, just imagine x

[@moniavedder1933]

Thanks for this reaction!!!! You are amazing

[@jakubtlamsa3891]

Everybody should be fortunate and find Ren's music, he is just nothing less than spectectular

[@dianesorensen2549]

He’s always live.❤

[@alicekean3904]

You missed the first part of the line about being balanced on toes.. "In the gallows, I'm balanced on my toes so I can breathe" Hits harder when you hear that bit. Love your reactions, very raw and real. New sub ❤️

[@Sog8045]

If you 2 haven't watch the interview Ren does about Hi Ren, he discusses his sickness and inspiration.

[@MikeLyons2011]

🙏🙏🙏for Ren. ❤️ them both too, this was beautiful dark and deep. There's monsters in that ocean.

[@jackabalas]

Another great reaction to a great artist. Honest appreciation for the artist as an artist but first and foremost as a person. Even as an atheist I see the love in asking people to pray for Ren. Good luck and may your god walk with you.

[@blobweird123]

I've watched a bunch of Ren reactions recently and out of all the content creators, I've only subscribed to two of them. You're one of them. I can see the authenticity in your faces that you actually get it. It actually hits you. Much respect!

[@antonymification212]

You two are such beautiful people. Thank you for being so open.

[@cheyneogorman2386]

I agree about #NF and #Ren having similarities. It comes down to the respect I have for both of them regarding their realness towards life and how they express it in music.

[@henry1294]

Have you heard NF ~Hope ?????.....sure you did !!

[@samcouch3622]

Singing from the soul.... This guy is deep....

[@JackiesKk]

Sending Ren and his family prayers.

[@susiejo143]

I love Ren too and this piece here is so hauntingly beautiful

[@henry1294]

Oh yes!!! Hauntingly beautiful it is !!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@philipduttonlescorlett]

Great reaction from two beautiful, REAL people! Loved this guys x

[@zachhenderson7982]

This is such a great song. Thanks for promoting his go fund me too.

[@martinmillett4800]

What I take from this song is the struggle with antidepressants and anti psycotics. As a person who has lived with a partner for 25 years who struggles with depression daily. Taking these pills basically erases her personality and makes her numb, essentially a "chalk outline" of her actual self. Years of her sitting in my lap and crying because she is so tired of feeling this way makes this song so impactful for me.

[@declaneric]

Ren's voice is so emotional, I love that his music is so versatile, very few people can couple a great rap cadence with an equally impressive singing voice. But holy cow, Chinchilla's voice.... her soft notes and high notes at the end are probably the most heartbreaking sounds I've ever heard in a song, it literally sounds like she's crying out desperately, a cathartic release. I think the only other time I've been so emotionally drawn into someone's voice is James Blunt's in Monster. This was awesome.

[@lisamayreed6399]

Hugs...ren....ty for your reaction guys❤👍🔥

[@renter6971]

Ren transcends genres and culture like no other artist I've ever seen. everyone can relate regardless of music tastes. He's amazing and I hope he keeps pushing boundaries and inspires others to do the same

[@juliequinn3006]

Speedy recovery Ren 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💛⭐ 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊️

[@gametime2473]

They record this live while recording the video. That is a talent level I can't even fathom.

[@cozycottage1970]

Love this and love the two of you and both of your perspectives so much. Thank you both for all of your content. Blessings and peace to you. ❤

[@silverriley5701]

Wow I waited to hear the song with you so it is my first as well and I totally agree it's love!!! They made me feel like I was the one in the room pushing it down with another habit! And half swear him and nf together would be epic!!

[@elenaorujev3494]

Amazing song! Ren writes such incredibly honest, genuine, vulnerable poetry! It goes right to your heart! Please keep reacting to Ren’s large catalog of music - every song has a real message, no matter the genre!

[@michaelphipps8647]

🙏 for my boy Ren, Get well soon my Brother ❤❤❤

Hey you two, you probably won't see this comment, but Im a guy in my 50's in Canada and I love your video's. Something in the vibe between you two reminds me of me and my wife when we're listening to music together. I like your breakdown of the content, but honestly, mostly I just really like you. Thank you for putting yourselves out there like this, you have a lot to offer!

[@murtaghj]

An absolute collaboration of perfection. Why is it not on the main stream music avenues?

Because he won’t sell his soul to the devil
