CHALK OUTLINES | REN X CHINCHILLA | IYPODCAST FIRST TIME BLIND REACTION

[@Stewart-m7i]

About taking meds & feeling dead on the inside. Best duo ever? Ren has a new release coming out this Thursday 19.00 GMT UK time.

[@erinhafer228]

When she sings don’t cry cause there’s a pill for everything, it’s just such a beautiful line, it takes all my self control not to burst into tears. I’m so glad she being heard thanks to REN.

[@ct5625]

Ren is far more of a genius than people realize at the surface level. He usually starts his performances with a shock, to make you uneasy. In this one it's the chair snap, in Hi Ren it's the operatic vocals and the uneasy guitar, in Screech's Tale it's the mouth trombone (excuse the term lol), in Jenny's Tale it's the rapid guitar at the start, in Violet's tale it's the guitar playing and the ghostly vocal sounds... he knows what he's doing. It's intended to put you on edge and make you unsure of what's coming, which grabs your attention and makes you want to stick around to either resolve that unease or find out what's going on. The guy is an artistic master in almost every respect.

The loud chair is an Easter egg cherophobia (prounounced chair ) is the fear of being happy 🇬🇧😊

[@martyntravis7953]

The chalk outline reference is when they draw a chalk outline around a dead body so he is saying they are a walking dead body with on all the drugs they are given

[@Ph8rus]

And the outline is all that's left when the body is gone.

[@longkesh1971]

@@Ph8rus He also says "walk around like a floating chalk outline", which is possibly the shape you took when you were alive but now you're walking around mindless like a zombie. In Psychology, if you are "in the gallows, on your toes, so you can breathe" then putting you on pills so you don't unalive yourself and can still go to work so you're not homeless but as the shell of your former self, then that is a very common occurrence and a common treatment plan.

[@kevinwarren3724]

Also pills are made of chalk. Many facits..

[@stevieb1972]

The chair crack is a reference of Cheraphobia - The fear of happiness or an aversion to happiness. You know with Ren, that everything is there for a reason!

[@SteveG-k8q]

Lol never knew that but it makes total sense in rens world 😂

[@majbrat]

This fact will blow their minds lol

[@sunshynff]

Can't remember the reaction channel, I think it's an Aussie or Kiwi guy, who's a music producer/artist, he gave the best explanation of Ren X Chinchilla duets... (paraphrasing)... "Normally when 2 or more people sing together, each individual singer makes certain concessions or adjustments, albeit slight at times, in order to stay in harmony with the other singer(s), to produce a pleasant duet or group overall sound. With Ren and Chinchilla it's as they're both singing solo, holding nothing back, making no concessions, while their voices weave in and out of each other and then back together like the Blue Angels fighter jets do when performing at an air show, and they do it with such ease and grace, I've never seen anything like it". Yup, pretty much summed it for me!! Great reaction ladies!! ✌💚

[@dimwitdave9344]

I can't believe I haven't seen that reaction as I watch as many Ren reactions as possible but it really is a perfect way to describe their duets.

[@spruce381]

Old metal dude?

[@sunshynff]

​@@spruce381 No, I think I know who you're talking about, I wouldn't say this guy is old, at least not relative to my age, if you're a young lad he might be...lol. I'd say mid 30s, early 40s at the most. Red-ish brown beard, a tad heavy set, he stops a lot during songs, but they're usually not too long, and he gives good insight when he stops, then goes into more detail afterward, very knowledgeable about all things music. I'll see if I can find his channel, I should be subbed to it, and post it here if I do.

[@sunshynff]

@@dimwitdave9344 Found it.

[@sunshynff]

@@spruce381.... Found his channel!!! I forgot, his logo and channel name do look very metal, but I don't think he's a metal dude, the channel is Prymal Chaos, just in case links aren't allowed in these comments, but here's the direct link to the reaction, he mentions what I was referring to I think on his 2nd pause, around the 6min mark. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zom7lX2BeZKgmposi=8O0sfrWztfaUukAG

[@spruce381]

This song references 60s drug songs - perfect day and white rabbit, but with modern legal drugs, and less hope. That’s just a tiny part of my take on a beautiful complex song. Don’t know your names ladies - I dig the reaction from Joni Mitchell in the middle - you’re all good ❤️👍🏽👍☘️

[@NichtBenni]

Hey! I'd love to see your reaction to the following Ren songs, in this specific order: Freckled Angels (live) Su*c*de For Joe Also the Tales of Jenny and Screetch (one long video) are amazing :) Really interested what you think about these works of art :)

[@Tokin420]

I was on setraline before which is zoloft. It made me not feel sad anymore but also didn't feel happy angry anything really. I felt like I was dead inside. Like I was floating in a chalk outline

[@AngB517]

I had to take wellbutrin when I was pregnant with my 2nd son, ohmy god it was horrible. High risk pregnancy, taken off the med that did help and given wellbutrin....it was bad enough that my dr came next to my head after my urgent c/s to ask if I wanted my other meds back. Add hormones to depression and a medication that did nothing but make me cry all day, every day but safer for the baby..rough 32 weeks.

[@Tokin420]

@AngB517 sorry to hear that. I was an addict for 24 yrs til I od'd which left me disabled. I was put on zoloft among some other antidepressants which made me numb to everything. It was to the point that I considered relapsing just to feel something. I had to get off them. Today I manage my depression by smoking weed amd keeping myself busy. My Idle mind can go dark real quick. So keeping my days busy helps

[@Rembrant65]

Left arrow key will rewind the video 5 seconds. Perfect amount of time to pick up the groove.

[@johnfreeburn5459]

The Big Push (REN in red suspenders) I shot the sheriff mash up, war pigs mash up… REN and Sam Tompkins Blind eye and Earn it/ mansworld/ I’m Falling! Amazing! REN was mis-diagnosed and finally after some years he has Lyme Disease! Recently, he was back in Vancouver for additional treatment! He’s a very brave and a genius musician who has experienced extremely dark years! I pray God heals and will hold his heart!🙏♥️🔥

[@AngB517]

Meds that make you feel dead (chalk outline) especially if they are too strong or feel like a zombie in a way. I have Bipolar and the trial and error of getting the meds combo right was rough, because before I was diagnosed with it, I maxed every anti-depressant out.... because AD's make it easier to spin up into a mania so you stop taking them and you crash, that's where the lovely mood stabilizers come in (depakote, lithium etc) Some people say if the wrong or too much of an ADHD med is given it makes them zombie-ish too But since Ren does not have all he was diagnosed with at first, it allowed time for the Lyme Disease to do the damage to his brain, then dealing with a Mast Cell disorder, I know the name of it from a fellow mom who's daughter has it, but it's been a bit since I've heard it all said outloud.

[@ct5625]

Chalk Outlines is a great metaphor for both traditional crime scenes and the fact that most medications are 99% chalk. When you swallow a pill it's mostly just chalk, with the medication being an additive. Chalk is inert, it's nothing, it just dissolves in the body. So Chalk Outlines means both a crime scene from a 1950s movie and the fact that you're swallowing pills that are mostly chalk, and then walking around like you can't feel anything - which is what a lot of antidepressants do.

[@simply_psi]

You folks really need to dive into The Big Push for more Ren goodness, I would suggest Bongo Bong a Manu Chao cover as a good Big Push starter song, it always goes down well.with Ren's female ordinances

[@JJ-jx7my]

That opening “awuuugh” from y’all on the first line says it all. BrittReacts calls that immediate admission to the PD Club. [Panty Drop] 😅.Across all ages we women react to Ren - some with empathy, others with motherly protection, and more than a few with yearning.

[@RossanneD]

If you really want to hear him sing watch "Back on 74". WOW!!

[@eddiebirdie1545]

The main constituent part of most pills is chalk making 'chalk outlines' a double, (i just thought I'd drop that in) 🤔😂✌❤🐦.

[@kevinmclaughlin8975]

FYI, the line is "It's a beautiful shame", not "It's a beautiful shape". Which really changes the song. And I love the finality of hearing the light switch echo as the lights go off.

[@pitapita3559]

Yes! I am glad I am not the only person that knows this. Very glad. Stupid closed captions...

[@In_42_Space]

Great reaction. Love hearing your thought process on how this masterpiece is making you think and feel. Keep up the great work.

[@MaxwellMoore-d1u]

Ladies have you Reacted Ren & Liv Sangster. Yet . Live Studio sessions. " Im in Love " it's the 1st of Nine they Recorded together. Its the Best jamming ive ever seen. Chinchilla is absolutely Fantastic I love her voice and Work .but Ren & Liv Sangster together on Guitar and Singing is something very Special to me .

[@DirkCarla]

Beautiful! You really should react on Loïc Nottet, million eyes... you will be amazed I promise. ❤😊

[@yitzchakscott-thoennes]

this one has a lot more ambiguity in meaning. you can take a lot things from it, some contradictory. true of ren's Diazepam too

[@rudyb.]

I really enjoy your Ren reactions. It’s insane on the amount of pills Ren takes on a daily basis. He is not afraid to show us the treatment he endured. Currently, Ren is back in Canada for more intense treatments for his chronic illnesses.

There are periods in Music history in Britain that you get Liverpool. Manchester Birmingham .Sheffield .This period is Brightons for new Artists. The difference this Time there mainly independent Artists. They have been allowed to Break on to a World stage because of YOU TUBE .and People like you 3 .The 3 Musketeers. 3 Amigos. 3 Babes .? ..keep Reacting and showing music from all over the World.

[@spruce381]

Glad you put in Sheffield - 5th most musically influential city, and punches above - Tony Christie, ABC, Def Leppard, Arctic Monkeys, Richard Hawley are a few - btw, I’m a Dubliner, with no skin in the game. Northerners sing about emotion - southerners tell stories about others - mostly

[@Rosschip]

To me it refers to the fact that pills, particularly sertraline or others used to treat depression, anxiety or mental ilnness, take away all feelings, good or bad, so you're just an empty shell or outline of yourself, hence chalk outline. The push it down with a new habit is doing something to distract yourself from the emptiness and hiding behind a false smile, just for a while, but knowing it is really just a front.

[@spruce381]

That’s defo it - and the fear of not taking it.

[@lynette.]

The prescription drugs that make you feel like the walking dead.

[@Hanswurst-vb4cc]
