Old Metalheads first time react to Ren X Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines (live)

[@davetaylor786]

Ren and chinchilla singing How to be me is absolutely haunting

[@ramonacooper2283]

Yessss! “How to be Me” is a must. I second this 👆🏽 above

[@Stiffspeed]

Fully agree. I think it evens peaks this one for me and that's saying something!

[@edildawen]

Yeah ! But live version.

[@davetaylor786]

@@edildawen of course 😀

[@jodiwest3534]

I really want to see Turk to react to that too. The live one. It's one of the most emotional tracks for me

[@kalijhawk70]

Yep, How to be me (live) is tremendous, Chinchilla Fingers LIVE is truly incredible. 😊

[@oldmanmetaldude]

They are on my list

[@mariajoseurizar5093]

Ren +Chinchilla make magic ✨ Turk please, please do: How to be me- Ren and Chinchilla LIVE

[@emmakate3788]

Hauntingly Beautiful 🔥

And also - an older one, busking. One dance / Drunk in love kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnnZc6uea8iLpJosi=a-sKBi-uiAiDofj- "Babe, I like your style" ❤

[@iamsquatty]

**ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED** congratulations! You have discovered new ren friend chinchilla! Shes got an amazing voice, and a few other collabs with ren. Her solo atuff is fantastic as well, welcome to another rabbit hole to fall down 😂💜💜🐇🕳

[@DakotaDogProductionsAk83]

Lolol “achievement unlocked”!!🎉

[@bethcote9978]

When chinchilla stands up and belts "oh my my" I get goose bumps. Every. Single. Time.

[@denalinde]

Ren said they had minimal rehearsing for this and only a couple takes. 💜 ETA: For some fun you should watch the videos on both their channels of a busking session they did together of some cover mashups. Somehow Ren talked her into it and she said she was terrified because she had never busked before. She’s opened for Sting but singing in the street was scary. She said she loved it & it was so empowering to overcome the fear. She suffers from stage fright anyway, and so she uses putting on her long nails as a ritual as Daisy the person getting into Chinchilla the character. 💜

[@jameslitzinger6932]

Blown away, eh? I've lost track of the times I've said to myself "this" is "my new favorite Ren song."

[@scottterres4119]

Welcome to the force of nature that is Chinchilla. It is crazy to me that people with this much talent are just walking the Earth.

[@rebeccaburnell9319]

And that among 8 billion humans on the planet, they manage to find each other to make art like this! (thank you thank you thank you thank you internet) Ren & Chinchilla had it easy I guess since they were both in England & signed to the same management when he reached out or something so I guess it's not quite the same as if they'd found each other with one of them living in Uruguay or something, but still...

[@annasaunders2167]

Ren calls "Chin" his sister from another Mister. Says she approaches songwriting, and performance the same way he does. Enjoyed your reaction !

[@lauramorris7843]

Most of Ren's stuff punches you in the face. We always go back for more.

[@tracydrury1766]

This is absolutely my fave Ren Collab...they are made to sing together.

[@andyholloway11]

I have no clue how this song isn't everywhere. It's better than anything else I have heard in a long time.

[@kellyt5341]

💯....

[@mikeb7379]

Had to chuckle to myself when you paused to say how beautiful the song was, literally just before Chinchilla was about to sing!

[@robingayle68]

I agree with all those who say Ren and Chinchilla How to be me live and Chinchilla's fingers live for hunger TV ❤

[@oldmanmetaldude]

They are on my list

[@marianneszijj]

Glad to see you react to this song. Ren calls Chinchilla his “musical sibling.” Yes, they did co-write this song and for me it was a powerful catalyst to re-examine some of the ways I was dealing with my troubles! 😵‍💫🤯😅 I’ve been off depression meds for a year and credit this song in a major way. I’m using more healthy ways to dance through this storm called life. ❤ I agree with the other commenters to keep heading down the Ren/Chinchilla route. How to be Me (LIVE version) is a massive favorite! I think you would love Chinchilla’s live solo of “Fingers” as well. She is badass! 💔❤️‍🩹❤️

[@oldmanmetaldude]

They are on my list

[@DeanD1]

You mentioned Chinchilla's vocal control - her song Fingers live for hunger TV is a must

[@oldmanmetaldude]

It's on my list

[@hazmania]

Ahh, Chinchilla! A whole new rabbit hole for you to fall down! She’s AMAZING! As talented as REN, her MV’s are works of art. She makes a lot of her costumes too. Chinchilla is the Queen! Love from Annie, in Cornwall,UK🙂🌸

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

Turk, please check into Chinchilla in the live bar scene video of Little Girl Gone. You won't be disappointed. Take it from her channel @Chinchilla_music 😊

[@michaelphipps8647]

Wait until you see Chinchilla sing Fingers (Live)!!! Absolute 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@oldmanmetaldude]

It's on my list

[@iamlpinthe312]

They call each other musical siblings, and rightly so when they have such beautiful blood harmony. To experience the dynamic and range of Chinchilla ( Daisy Bertenshaw) vocals do Fingers Live.

[@anitamccall4051]

Yes! Fingers live is amazing

[@oldmanmetaldude]

[@stephenpartridge6021]

Another great underrated artist who sings with ren is 🎉 sam Tompkins 🎉 they got great songs check them out 🎉

[@oldmanmetaldude]

Sam is on my list

[@0verloADHD]

You definitely need to go down the Chinchilla route. You will love her! Thank you for a great reaction ❤

[@nurselorie2271]

There are strings in the recorded version .. I love it

[@ready__to__fall]

These two together are pure gold.

[@momstin58]

Gorgeous and stunning are the perfect words for this performance. They are soooo good together. It’s definitely fate that Ren has found all of the people on his team and the artists that he collabs with. Check out Chinchilla’s performance of Fingers live. It’s breathtaking! 💜

[@kobusjordaan5038]

Some songs/bands/musicians have this ability to just leave you in awe. It might not be the most technical (Not to say Ren isnt) but everything/everyone is working together to make the song shine and make it special. Growing up Dire Straits and Pink Floyd were those bands for me.

[@irenestubbings7856]

Hey Old Metal Head - enjoying watching you watching my favourite artist/s!

[@bafumat]

In a world of fake everything. Fake sounds, fake video, fake feelings caused by chemicals. This is real. Real voices, real guitar, real content. I have been so happy to hear something like this is still possible.

[@Clarkchapin]

How To Be Me live acoustic with Ren and Chinchilla is one of my very favorites of Ren’s music.

[@Clarkchapin]

Hey! Also try Ren and Eden Nash on OCEAN.

[@oldmanmetaldude]

It's on my list

[@eveline5858]

I still get chills after hundreds of listenings!!🔥 Superb reaction, thank you Turk 💥

[@kylefrandsen2665]

"How To Be Me (live)" is another Ren/Chinchilla collaboration that'll rip your heart apart. He recently recorded two more studio tracks with her, so look forward to that in the near future. In the meantime, have some fun with a video of some of his busking with "Ren & Sam Tompkins - Earned It/Man's World/Falling" or one of his guerilla video shoots gone wrong, "Ren & Sam Tompkins - Blind Eyed Ft. Angry Car Park Attendant", which was shot by the same videographer you like, Samuel Perry-Falvey.

[@TheShiste]

Knew you'd like this one. So much talent, hes like a modern day minstral almost.

[@Libbydoh]

Both are so talented! I am in the rabbit hole, dragged by the mad hatter. Seriously, both artists are fantastic - there's an explosion of good music i haven't seen in decades, if ever.

[@amandacollins2854]

The beauty of a Ren and Chinchilla collaboration transcends any sadness . Hope for the future ,2 more songs have been recorded reciently by them .

[@tarshnottrash1483]

Me at 9.03 just wait you haven’t heard anything yet….. you heard it! If there are any two that should sing together it’s Ren & Chinchilla…. Goose bumps & tears & I’ve heard this so many times. Cue the requests to check out Chinchilla now as well…

[@oldmanmetaldude]

I'm looking forward to hearing more of her

[@shaishannahbennett8055]

Hi, what a lovely reaction to a gorgeous song, it is one of my faves. I was beautifully moved to tears when I first heard it (having empathy and experience of the songs content) it really shifted something in me, on a healing level, as you said, it has a hope filled feeling, as it's from a point of awareness of self and the processes we experience from the depths of despair to the highs and joys and I love the powerful authenticity in it's simplicity. I can see your light shining brighter and brighter the more videos you do and that is a wonderful thing..Keep shining, reacting, feeling it all...Much love from the UK 🥰

[@lanmandragoran8337]

Yeah, this is my favorite Ren song as well. Everything else is fantastic, and I love the reactions to those more for the most part, but you hit it perfectly. This isn't something spectacular, its just perfection in simplicity.

[@gwynethzen77]

This is amazing amazing amazing and still remains my fav Ren song!!! And chinchilla is worth checking out!! Think you’d enjoy her! Little girl gone! ❤

[@docdurdin]

Ren has a unique ability to attract the most talented people around him.

[@joelmastrobattisto422]

I cannot count how many times that I’ve ordered the words, that might be my new favorite Ren song. He has such a phenomenal catalog and his connection with chinchilla is undeniable. Definitely, you should react to Ren and chinchilla how to be me.

[@oldmanmetaldude]

Its on my list

[@davetaylor786]

You’ve started so you may as well finish 😅 love your reactions mate

[@Theogvineofthedead]

Talk about speechless I'm here for it 👏 😂

[@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 🐰🕳️ Also Ren is a magnet for other talented artists and from one metalhead to another, you should check out one of my personal favourites: Crutch feat. Bibi. It’s an older song from before Ren 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 stunning. He’s got other great collaborations too though. Penitence feat. Molly McKinna, Humble feat. Eden Nash, Blind Eyed with Sam Tompkins (and in one version also feat. Angry car park attendant 😂). Ren has mentioned wanting to make an album at some point with only collaborations. Probably after the next one he is working hard to finish atm though Sick Boi just came out in October 😅 Whatever he puts out, it will be great though 🐰🕳️

[@annfarmer9704]

ahaha! you have a touch of PTSD!🤣 "alright, you guys set me up for another...." you thought you were in for a game of emotional twister! the big push sweet little lady live version precious watch out Ren I can't help falling in love with you Elvis cover this particular Elvis song is not an easy one when it comes to other artists doing a cover. when a song is that iconic, loved by so many, many who make the attemptdont realize they need to dive in 1000%. Rens RENdition is one you should not miss. but this one has a side experience to it......READ THE COMMENTS..... OMG! the comments on that song evoke as much emotion as Ren himself. there are. many in those comments will make your heart grow so big! out of EVEY ONE OF Rens songs, this is MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE COMMENT SECTION. unconditional love lives there. 🌸💞🌸

[@DakotaDogProductionsAk83]

You got the “Chinchills”…😂😊

[@AprilJMoon]

You will say that many more times, "This is my new favourite Ren song". Welcome to the real meaning of what it is to be in this wonderful rabbit hole

[@Onewayoflife75]

I am so excited for you to discover Chinchilla. Everybody in Ren’s orbit is pretty amazing. Check it ALL out!

[@NanaM1984]

I can't remember how many times i used that phrase ' this is my new favorite '😂❤

[@michaelwaynemartin3291]

Yup. And "Wasn't expecting that".

[@lightsourcejourneys]

The term chalk outlines in this song is referring to walking through life too messed up on prescribed psychotropic drugs that you don’t even feel like a human but just a chalk outline moving through the world.

[@barrymichael-james6289]

The punches in the face is what we come for, its a testiment to this man ability

[@bodilfrausing7966]

Thanks for your reaction👍 - and yes, this IS beautiful! Another - more cheerful - collab is "Humbel" by Ren ft.Eden Nash. 😊

[@stranger2Utube]

"of course they didn't sing together..." 5 seconds later "🤷‍♂" 😁 Welcome to Queen Chinchilla rabbit hole 😁

[@oldmanmetaldude]

[@oldmanmetaldude]

It's on my list

[@Vmcf1968]

i love the juxtaposition of deep lyrics with beautiful music. makes it not sting as much as the words imply

[@cherylmack1260]

It was fun watching your expressions change up at the same time as mine did. I can't tell you how often I said Whoa and wow.

[@BenBallard13]

I'll agree with you Turk, that's a WOW track for sure and it's also probably one of my favourite "Ren x" tracks too. Chinchilla has an awesome voice and so closely matches Ren in tone and pitch, they harmonise fantastically well together. You can tell the maturity and respect that Ren has for her in her own right as an artist - his ego let her finish out the track, instead of demanding he be the last thing heard. You missed the suggestion in the outfits though? They're both dressed in white, suggesting they're their own chalk outline. They're also working in collaboration with each other, suggesting they're also each other's chalk outline, or, as a lot of anti-depressant and pharma are, they're a secondary med. Usually one that mitigates or alleviates the effects of the primary prescription. Loved this reaction, so pleased you covered it! Big 🇬🇧 love to you bud! 🇬🇧🤜🏻🙏🏻🤛🏻🇦🇺

[@jeanwyenberg2774]

Yup...one of my all time favorites. Feel free to fall into the Chinchilla rabbit hole!

Massively enjoyed. Felt like the first time listening again, thank you so much for the reaction. If you can tolerate screaming vocals, i'd suggest you check out Architects - impermanence live from Abbey Road. Smashed me to pieces, really (especially if you read the lyrics beforehand). I was like 'okay, heavy may be over after this one, there's just no point 😂'. But anyway thank you for your time and reaction, spent beautiful 20 minutes enjoying one of my Ren's faves.

Certainly not a bad comparison. Thanks for your comment 🤟

[@hemotoxine5658]

@@oldmanmetaldude, talking about Gilmour and as you're an old metal dude (genX ftw ;-) ), may I suggest you to give a look to a rising metal band, Kassoghta, they did a stunning cover of Welcome to the machine there ---> kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4Kkoqehi85pga8 or their own work ---> before i vanish kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6HHiHl3nKp1m9U , they toured with Jinjer, Avatar and Decapitated, but maybe you can give them a bit of light on youtube.😇🤘
