Ren & Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines REACTION!!

[@chinchilla_music]

Thank you SO MUCH for your reaction and all the support 🥰 made me happy to watch!

[@jordanamandareact]

You are very welcome! 😊 we always like to give our most honest opinion on things without actually saying something is crap haha but this was amazing, loved the live aspect which made it that much more impressive, you don’t see a lot of live music videos. Can’t wait for your new music and the absolutely best luck for the future! Cheers!

[@LarsPallesen]

I LOVE your performance in this song, Chinchilla! It sent shivers down my spine. You have a BEAUTIFUL voice!

[@alissahogan980]

You are unbelievable in the best way, please don't stop what you are doing, I live for your voice!! ❤❤

[@4arrows4all]

Great reaction, you guys! I have to say that I get annoyed when reactors get so much negativity from viewers. Most people don’t even know how to react to Hi Ren the first time they see it because it’s so different. So what? You guys clearly love music and immersing yourself in the experience and it’s fun to share that experience with you specifically because it’s new and different. Who wants to watch the same reaction over and over? You should be able to say how you feel without all the finger-wagging. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@burton528hz]

Absolutely. No one is "ready" for Hi Ren the first time. ☺

[@jordanamandareact]

And that was our thought as well, why would you want to constantly see the same reaction over and over again. But that being said if you want to see the same thing over and over again they are out there. Thanks so much for the comment and kind words!

[@ChrisLawton66]

Agreed

[@chronicinokla]

​@@jordanamandareactren has been nominated for an award for the hi ren video

[@philk9227]

Nice reaction guys. The harmonies and the chemistry between Ren and Chinchilla really take this to the next level. Don't get put off diving down the Ren rabbit hole by the naysayers. Hi Ren was a masterpiece that threw a lot of us the first time we saw it. I went from a WTF moment when he switched initially from sublime guitar to the first vocals to tears rolling down my cheeks when he sang "I won't retire I'll stand in your fire inspire the meek to be strong" - He is an amazing artist with the ability to write such deep lyrics that it is nigh on impossible to pick up all the meaning and depth in one listen.

[@JensRandolff]

Ignore the haters. This is your channel and you run it the way you see fit. I watched your "Hi Ren" reaction and saw nothing wrong with it; it was honest and genuine. It is indeed sad that you feel that you have to justify and explain your reaction to complete strangers who are just consumers who create nothing. Ren certainly would not have shown you any disrespect. I just subscribed to your channel. God bless and have a blessed Easter. He is risen.

[@coreyms]

Nice job! Also, after what you said at the beginning, I also checked out your “Hi Ren” reaction. I didn’t really see anything in that video but praise, so I don’t know why you’d get any comments like the ones you mentioned. And even if it was all praise, it would still be okay if it wasn’t because we all have different tastes. I’ve been doing YT for a while and have dealt with some negative feedback. I enjoy constructive criticism and respond accordingly, but I also believe there are some out there simply trying to get a response from the creator. I’ve learned to ignore the latter. It just comes with the territory. I wouldn’t sweat it if I were you. Anyways, good work!

[@rog2224]

"I don’t know why you’d get any comments like the ones you mentioned" If YT allowed it, I'd respond with the Buzz Lightyear meme "Assholes. Assholes Everywhere" :)

[@peterveste6976]

am 63 years old and have followed Ren for a few years and he is my favourite artist ever..I would like to thank you guys love your reactions and your Chanel ❤

[@JensRandolff]

Here is a short excerp of my write-up of Ren, since you asked about his current medical situation. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, Ren began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. In 2010, he was signed by Sony Records and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue and subsequently dropped by Sony. Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led him to experience psychosis and develop PTSD. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure. Ren is currently in Calgary, Canada for more treatments, including surgeries, and will have to be there for at least six months (Summer of 2023) undergoing IV and other interventions five days a week. Ren recently underwent wisdom tooth removal and cavitation surgery. In addition, his Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder, which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, adrenals, as well as his bones/joints. Now, Ren is receiving additional treatments for this previously undiagnosed condition.

[@DusCostea-kt1dg]

Nice review 👍. Enjoy the REN rabbit hole and give Chinchilla' Elements, Fingers and Lockdown Get down !! Amazing 🎉

[@JosieC2011]

Had to watch your reaction to Hey Ren and I did not see any reason why you would receive negative feedback. Goes to show, you can't please everybody.... Let it go. Love Chalk Outlines! Thanks for the review!

[@ianhislop6782]

Great reaction. If you want to check out more of Chinchilla’s solo work I highly recommend Fingers. The live version is listed as ‘Vero presents: CHINCHILLA-FINGERS Live for HungerTV’. It’s hauntingly beautiful.

[@NightFogFilms]

Don't let bad comments get to you. You cannot satisfy 100% of the people 100% of the time.

[@sammyd8860]

Ren and Chinchilla have such a great chemistry together. For another great performance, please check out How To Be Me (Ren & Chinchilla Live version)

[@lexibrax]

That one really sent me!

[@erikhorton6433]

Glad you guys weren't discouraged from going down the Ren rabbit hole after your first experience...so much brilliance you still have to see...really can't go wrong...every song I've heard so far is 🔥 and each one is so unique from the rest somehow

[@williamsummerson1204]

Great reaction guys. One of the most beautiful and powerful songs ever. Ren is a special talent and Chinchilla's voice is so calming and gorgeous. 🙏❤

[@darthgambo1]

No need to apologize you two.. We live in a sensitive world.. Just be yourselves.. Great reaction!

[@pattheripper8485]

I love this song sooooo much! Don’t sweat the Hi Ren reaction! When I first heard it I thought he was in a way joking but as the performance went on I realized it was very deep. It is a masterpiece! And here I am now…a huge Ren fan & supporter watching reactions to his art! Cheers!

[@greenmonster4918]

Chinchilla has a live version of her song "fingers' that is blowing up right now, for good reason... her vocals on it are mind blowing!

[@sketchtherapy1218]

"Illest of our time" by Ren is about how he hasn't yet uncovered a standardized treatment and detection for lyme disease and he is far from rich so he has to be the illest of our time to find the answers that he never seems to find the video is a look into his brain an internal conflict like psyching himself up for that task.

[@ellesee7079]

I'm so sorry about the comments on Hi Ren. I can only think that they didn't watch till the end, as you quite clearly realised the message towards the end. I thought they were great reactions to both songs. Keep 'em coming! 😊

[@jamesbell8861]

I liked your last Ren Video ... You don't owe ANYBODY an explanation. I appreciated you guys just being you. You need to know that Trolls are gonna TROLL !!! Tune out the idiots and just be yourselves !!! I am not a Rap Fan ... at all really ... But I REALLY LIKE REN's style ... I don't know what rest of the Music Industry's Rap category is doing but ... If it has moved in the direction of REN's ~ 'LOSING IT' ... I might have to rethink my musical taste. 'CHALK OUTLINES' punched me straight in the FEELS. I love this guy.

[@mldkenny]

From Hi Ren to Chalk Outlines , great choice and what an amazing live performance , Chinchilla is really worth looking into as well, she has some great videos.

[@samgardiner771]

Hey Guys, I wouldn't beat yourselves up over your 1st time Hi Ren reaction....most other online reactions have probably been previewed prior to their posting, I could actually tell there was a profound effect to you both at the end of your post.....So... welcome to the Ren rabbit hole we all find ourselves in. I think you Guys are lovely. Love & respect from London 🇺🇸🇬🇧. ❤

[@elenaorujev3494]

Beautiful sing! Please keep exploring Ren’s amazingly varied catalog! Thank you.

[@robmonroe635]

Wow...saw your Hi Ren reaction when I was watching every single one that came out....and saw nothing to cause concern (not that my judgment of someone else's reaction to art means anything). I don't know if this is true for all artists but certain 'fans' take it a little too personal when there's perceived sleights. My first listen to Hi Ren I was confused, didn't like the singing at the beginning because I don't like operacic siinging but I do play guitar and was interested in staying because the intro was so good. It took me many more listens to catch everything but the message was there and it hit home...good job you two, keep doing what you're doing and don't worry about catering to those who might have a negative thing to say because you can't please everyone. If you like Ren and Chinchilla together this is a must watch, it was written in memory of one of Ren's friends who died by his own hand. How to Be Me (live) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXW1aKarpZh3qbc

[@allenbinns1240]

Enjoy the ren journey, he's an inspiration to many, bless you both

[@chorleycc]

Great reaction guys. Beautiful song. Also please don't let it get to you. Haters are going to hate. keep doing you. Cheers

[@johngalasso8074]

I wish people would also realize that these types of videos can hit someone differently depending on so many factors... different time of day, different expectation, different mood. Too bad people get upset if they don't get the precise response they want.

[@waynen6996]

Lovely Reaction thank you for your share 💙💎🕊️ Its your channel express yourselves however you feel 💙💎🕊️

[@sharis9095]

Never apologize for an honest reaction. I'd much rather someone disagree honestly than fake it for likes. I've found with Ren I've have to listen a few times to get all the lyrics. His accent (and often speed) when he's performing can make it difficult but generally I can get the most important parts. He also has an amazing video called Crutch (with Bibi) who was his girlfriend at the time. He wrote it about 6 years ago after several hospital visits and a breakdown (this was before the Lyme's Diagnosis and treatment. He said it was about his fear that his illness would make him unable to have a relationship last - that it would just be too much.

[@Scenicflya]

Grouse reaction, it's a #RenRabbithole journey now lol happily stumbled on your channel, will be back for more

[@kurtz260]

As i understand the health situation, he was misdiagnosed for close to ten years. He went through a bunch of different medicines, mostly being told it was a mental disorder (bipolar, psychosis) and suffered from issues related to sideaffects from these treatments until finally being diagnosed with lyme disease, unfortunately after so many years there has been a lot of organ damage and consequences that they are trying treat and hopefully even correct. Stem cell therapy has been tried and helped him get back on his feet, but has not been a cure all by any means

[@kellydelf]

i didnt feel you were insensitive. i subscribed because of your reaction. you got the message. we all react differently and it is personal in meaning to all of us. you talked of the poetry and the creativity you got the message . youve dug deeper. forget the trolls. you do you. im a sub . ❤

[@jordanamandareact]

Thank you for the awesome words! Cheers!

[@trevormcneil9858]

You would probably really like his song the Tale of Jenny and Screech. Just make sure you get the full version with all three parts.

[@1tommymulligan]

Chinchilla with Ren is sublime in How to be Me (Live) really stunning masterpiece of lyrics and harmonies, it's about suicide awareness and I believe it's videoed on the bridge where Ren's friend ended his life.

[@Sabrina-wz9ko]

They really are amazing together and individually. Suggest you check out Chinchilla's live performance of her song Fingers. Her vocals and presence are just phenomenal! As to those complaints... You can't please everyone and some can never be pleased by anyone. Just keep being yourselves 🤗

[@FaintlyTapping]

For a lighter side of Ren, watch him channel the spirit of Bob Marley during his band’s (The Big Push) medley cover of I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop. Then for the fun side watch them cover Bongo Bong. Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole.😊

[@davidricks7128]

Hi Ren is hard hitting and i have seen others watch it and not get it first time but after seeing it again they totally change and open up about what it is all about and on many occasions they open up about their own mental health issues me included so its all good from me good luck with your channel and all the best for the future

[@davidricks7128]

Here is some additional information on Ren's story, in case you didn't already know. Gathered from an old newspaper interview and Ren's livestreams and posts where he discussed his condition. Ren Eryn Gill is a British musician/independent artist; born in Wales in 1990 or ‘91 (depending on which source you cite), he grew up in Brighton. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, he began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. In 2010, he was signed by Sony Records and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue and subsequently dropped by Sony. Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which lead him to experience psychosis. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure. Ren is currently in Canada for more treatments, including surgeries, and will have to be there for at least six months (Summer of 2023). Ren's Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder, which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, adrenals, as well as his bones/joints. Ren stated: "It's a lot to wrap my head around having to be away from friends, family, and a successful career, and almost feels like a total juxtaposition to the fact that my music is blowing up right now and spreading to all corners of the world, but that's life, we take the good with the bad." Check out and subscribe to his channel, listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to this generation, and his work is needed in these troubling times. Here is the link to Ren’s GoFundMe page to raise money for his current treatment. www.gofundme.com/f/ren-get-better-from-lyme-disease-and-autoimmunity

[@jackbarnes8037]

If people leave bad comments!, That's more to do with them rather than you!.👍 He's a strong lad He wouldn't want that. All the best from 🇬🇧 guys!👍

[@WhisperWolfe]

Thank you for the vulnerability, especially at the beginning. One good thing about Ren is that he puts the lyrics in the top pinned comment of his video for people to read. For a really good fun set that will get you dancing, listen to the I Love Music trilogy. There isn't a video with them all together, but no playlist is complete without those three put in order as though they're one song.

[@scifimonkey3]

You could even hear chinchilla’s nails scrape across her hair.

[@cranken72]

Ren and his friends are changing the world!!!

[@kurtz260]

I didnt see the other video, but im sorry to hear that you received hate from people for your reaction. Too often as big fans of someone we become overprotective. Ren would be the last person to want that for anyone i believe. Its good to hear that you were able to listen to the song and change your mindset by the end of it, i think that was Ren's specific intention with the song. To help people to understand the struggles of people that are suffering and to then be more compassionate and give each other grace understanding that we have no clue what struggles another person may be dealing with. And understanding that, lets try to make strangers as well as friends days better and not worse with flippant and careless vitriol

[@tajolariffin6021]

Great reaction guys!!! Chinchilla has an amazing voice! you guys should check her out too, Fingers (Live version)...She definitely different from other artist you've ever heard, she's unique just like Ren.. ignore those negative people, you guys are cool!

[@Charyl.w.an.A]

Some of us REN fans forget that the video is VERY hard to fully understand if you don’t know the backstory. It’s such a different video and when it starts almost every single person has a hard time figuring out what the hell is going on. Sorry for the people who take it so personal. Hopefully the clarification you have given us/them will help to remember “we are all human being”.

[@dannymartin208]

Some suggestions Fingers (Live)-Chinchilla How to be me (Live)-Ren and chinchilla Children of the moon-Ren Tbh you can’t go wrong with Ren, he’s multitalented

[@pauldurrant8907]

Check out How to be me live from Ren and Chinchilla or one dance/ drunk in Love from them too both are so good

[@markbeckens]

I just went to your Hi Ren video because of your comments. Let me say that those standing on their soap boxes to preach at you about you laughing during the video when you didn't know it had a message, should grow up and relax! No way for you to know before you know!

[@suzannesantos86]

Ren posted on his community tab yesterday that Hi Ren has been nominated for 4 different categories in the 2023 Official Prague Video Awards!! Here’s the link www.youtube.com/@RenMakesMusic/community

[@davidricks7128]

This is pretty much my life in a song I have multiply mental and physical health issues so medication gets me through every day but im still here

[@tjhorne82]

Another great duet with them is gonna be "How To Be Me". Y'all won't be disappointed. Also, check out "Genesis (Live Acoustic)". Y'all's reaction to both "Hi Ren" and "Chalk Outlines". If y'all want a new band, I noticed that there is no Jinjer on your channel, yet. If you haven't check out the band Jinjer before, I highly recommend getting in their rabbit hole. Either start with "Pisces (live session)" or "Vortex".

[@kurtz260]

I would suggest to everyone his song about his best friend that unalived himself.....its called How To Be Me (live), he and chinchilla perform it live from the bridge that his friend leapt from. Its my favorite song and obviously very heartfelt from them both.

[@jbs454]

No one was lip syncing, this was one take with mixing after the fact, it took more than one take to do the entire thing perfectly but it was sung live. If you listen any interviews with him he explains the process

[@helenjarvis7755]

Ren is in Canada for 6 months treatments hopefully repairing damage including brain damage caused by untreated Lymes. The Doctors diagnosed various things wrongly including Bi polar which he was medicated heavily for. It took 7 to 8 years for proper diagnoses.

[@patisan]

This song is mainly about antidepressants and how they rob you of your spirit and personality and make you feel like you’re walking around a hollow shell of yourself, a zombie - hence the floating chalk outline like the outline drawn around a dead body. He touches on a similar theme with his song Diazepam which is one of my favourites of his

[@sicmuvva11]

You guys need to do Sick Boi it relates to this and Hi Ren’s experiences.Hi Ren is his psychosis and comming to terms with it Sick Boi is his frustration at the whole process and this track was about the psychiatric drugs. Fabulous reverb in that hallway.

[@Capthowdy098]

Radio drama, huh...I wonder if Ren has a dramatic trilogy, where there is a full version on KZbin🤔. Ok, I suck at Secrets. Check out Tale of Jenny and Screech. What I interpret this song is the effects and side effects of psychotropic medication. When Chinchilla comes in her first words are "Sertraline (Zoloft) and a sip of Serotonin." I was on that for quite a while, diagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder medically retired from the military, and it made me a zombie of course combined with pain meds as well, broken back, you become a floating chalk outline or just dead on your feet. It's such a beautiful day... take it just in case. Well it might not be a beautiful day 10 min from now even though nothing has changed outside of yourself. Powerful song great reaction.

[@sch7194]

Ren & Chinchilla 🔥🙏🔥

[@Monica-sw9ld]

If you want to see the happy side of Ren (and hear more vocals and electric guitar), please check out him with his band The Big Push doing I Shot The Sheriff. It's incredible!

[@Taratara-uc8pn]

Lovely reaction - try Chinchilla - Fingers the LIVE version will blow your socks off with her vocals - she has new music dropping on 21st April and the teaser has already gone viral so check that out too - Little Girl Gone

[@Daniel-n7b7d]

I'm slightly upset that the Reneverse had a go at you too, that is not how we behave and not how we should behave! Listen, this was your first ever Ren song and from watching a few of your reactions you guys seem happy and smiley and that's how you entered the "Hi Ren" song, once you understood what it was about that changed. That is the whole fucking purpose, a journey from a moment in time to another moment in time and that is what you did. I could not ask for anything more, you listened to Ren and immediately wanted more, that is what its all about!! ❤❤❤❤ Once again, Reneverse, we do not attack people, they entitled to their views and opinions and rather try and guide them so the will be able to strap in and be prepared for the next song once they leanr not to expect anything because it will be wrong, just enjoy it!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@jordanamandareact]

Thank you so much for the kind words! ❤️ Cheers

[@celinel9750]

I like your reaction, it's made with respect, that is all that matter at the end. For Ren, like for some other, the meaning get so deep that you can't always get it at the first time, Ren always give the lyric on the first comment of his video, you can look at it. On the same theme, Sick boi should be your next one, then dive in the Jenny and screech (full) you'll get how good of a story teller he is. Enjoye !

[@Mike_H76]

I liked this reaction, some fans are just... fanatical. But mainly, there are some things you can't understand (or just wouldn't catch) without actually experiencing it. Like the overarching concept of the chalk outline itself. Chinchilla mentions Sertraline (Zoloft), one major side effect of that SSRI and some others is a feeling of detatchment... I've had side effects from various meds, but I've never experienced this one. My mom though, after we lost my brother, was on Zoloft and she said that it hit a point where she walked out of her door in the pouring rain (in pajamas) just so she could feel SOMETHING. I can imagine that would leave a person feeling like a shell of their former self, where the depression just MIGHT be more desirable.

[@belindamelville2270]

When I watched hi Ren reaction I definitely thought it wasn't the genre for you two but nice rebound.

[@wynandmorgan9985]

Hey guys, don't let the haters get to you... You seem careful about what to say and how to share your actual emotions. Screw the haters and "smartie pants"! Damn, I get crap from people who comment on my comments, even when my comments are mostly positive and informative... Just be yourself and don't be open and to vulnerable to the haters!

[@sketchtherapy1218]

as long as one of you hasnt seen the material you can honestly say its a reaction video just tell us which one of you saw it.

[@kdavidreeves]

Nice reaction. Love to see you check out "How to be me" another duet with Chinchilla.

[@Nick_CF]

It took me half the song to get into Hi Ren before I started to dig it and when the message hit harder at the end it floored me. Most of my favorite art I hated or just didn't get at first...I always just put it to the side to revisit. Challenging stuff never hits you easy...sometimes it takes a long time for something to click. Love Ren's music but I definitely see a unhealthy level of attachment with his fan base....even he mentions it shortly in an interview. The internet is fucking weird.

[@declaneric]

I saw your "Hi Ren" reaction. I think the "Insensitive" and "mocking" comments came from your reaction to a number of his lyrics. I didn't think you were mocking him. I thought you weren't sure what to make of him, and that sometimes makes people chuckle a little - being surprised by someone is kind of rare nowadays, so when it happens, all kinds of reactions can happen. Sometimes all you can do is laugh at how absurdly good someone is, because you can't process someone being SO unique in what they do, they catch you off guard. Obviously, EVEN with some of the lyrics that can come off funny - because his dark persona IS mocking and insulting him - the song is clearly about a man struggling with himself and his own mental turmoil. I guess I can understand why people, who may identify with this turmoil, could be offended if it seems like someone appears comically amused by any part of this struggle. I didn't think you intended it that way. But people sensitive to Ren's situation would obviously be sensitive to any reaction that isn't empathetic or sympathetic all the way through. You guys are fine, no worries. The fact that he struck you the way he did is evident in the fact that you started looking for more of his stuff. You'll never satisfy everyone. But your reaction TO those comments, and your willingness to address them here, proves you never intended how it was perceived. As for this video, Ren's voice shines through, but Chinchilla's voice was heartbreaking, especially the soft and high notes. Awesome song.

[@laluba3603]

You need to react to the song "Sick Boi" for more information. I like your reactions. I find it very interesting to watch peoples different approach to do reactions.After all it is *your* reaction. And, by the way, I really like that people do it in different ways. Finding some one that are brave enough to do genuine "blind" reactions feels like a ride to candy-land. So I'm heading off to your reaction to Hi Ren now. 💐

[@ryanjackson645]

RESPECT FOR APPOLIGY TY TY TY

[@JulitaPio]

I watched yours "Hi Ren" reactions and I can't see nothing wrong or disrespectful. There so much going on, I remember exactly when I watched "Hi Ren" for a very first time, I didn’t know should I focuse on sound, background or lirycs (English is not my first language) or Ren himself, yes Amanda he is very cute 🙂 I watched many times after, then I read more about Ren and his health problems, hit even more. Finally, I hate to see you stressed because the way you reacted caused you to be attacked with unpleasant comments. Let's not forget that each of us is different, everyone reacts to music in a different way, some have forgotten that Ren spread kindness, so be kind for each other❤️ Keep doing what you doing guys, I am looking forward for more Ren reactions, big Ren fan here. My recommendation are for you Amanda "How to be" beacuse I noticed that keep focused on singing and for Jordan "The Big Push" Wade in the water, good sound there, big love for you guys❤️

[@Paul-Gleave]

There are many people who will come to see you react to something they like and then get upset with you when you don't have the "Correct" reaction, those people are idiots... You can't pay any attention to them because if you do then your reaction won't be your reaction anymore, it'll be theirs and it will feel obviously fake to both you and those in your audience who aren't idiots... Stay true to yourselves guys and your channel will be all the better and more genuine for it... All the best.

[@joshurwin5934]

Before you dive in to Ren's more rap side, I'd definitely suggest checking out the Jenny's tale trilogy (Jenny, Screech and Violets tales). They will show off his talent of story telling!

[@DavidPeriard]

the tale of jenny and screech, and violet (full) will break you

[@jmango2636]

That was live singing and guitar

[@Cdwny]

Full disclosure- I did not see any of your other reactions but I will say that it’s ridiculous that you got complaints- your reaction is YOUR reaction- if someone doesn’t agree (even if you completely miss the mark) that’s too bad- they should have their own channel and then the can agree with themselves all the time. Good job- keep at it!

[@davidfaulkner2289]

Oh and btw Jordan, if you’ve been checking out Rens live performances, you’ve got to treat Amanda to “I shot the sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop” Ren shows levels to his talent 🤯. Night

[@apexblyxx]

Back to watch this Video, just finished Hi Ren =)

[@Icurious14u]

Great reaction....Dont sweat the backlash from last one...Even I was kinda like "What the "F" is this?" in the beginning so some of us are a bit slow at "getting it."...When you listen to something a 100 times it can be totally different compared to your first take...Most songs I didnt like from the first listen or atleast wasnt as impressed as I was after many more listens.

[@garychap8384]

Check out _"Fingers"_ by Chinchilla (Make sure it's the the Live TV version) ... for some Chinchilla on her own being just 110% vocally incredible. Think Adele, think Kate-Bush craziness. Think... revenge! Or _"How to be me"_ by Ren and Chinchilla, for a really powerful duet and a sweet and fitting tribute to his friend that killed himself at only 19, on a bridge (recorded live, a on bridge, at night - it's a raw and deeply personal piece) ... it pairs well with Chalk Outlines. And, even though you don't like rap ... just trust me and try _"Losing it"_ (fun, epic) or _"What you want"_ (happy, playful retro) by Ren for two completely different views, and see him really have creative fun with genres. "Losing it" is particularly good ; ) Or, since Jordan likes stories, _"The tale of Jenny and Screech (Full Version)"_ is an epic, bard-like, trilogy of tragedy that will leave you absolutely stunned... it's left almost all reacters speechless. (his guitar playing and story-telling ability in this is truly incredible) For angry social commentary... try _"Sick Boi"_ or _"Money Game (both parts 1 and 2)"_ ... both of those are pretty amazing. the thing is... ... just when you think you know Ren, you realise that you *really* don't know Ren. He just doesn't fit in any box. He's just out there doing his own thing. ; )

[@dave.james007]

Ren was in a band called the big push check out I shot the sheriff road to Zion hip-hop the one with 6.7M views enjoy.

I am guessing that Ren would be disappointed to hear that some of his fans made ugly comments for an honest reaction. His messages are usually about lifting others. Also, Hi Ren is a such a journey that it can be difficult to digest until you get to the end. Trying to film yourself and come up with coherent words to something that packs such a punch would be difficult. Just an FYI on Lyme Disease: it’s an illness you get from a tick bite and when diagnosed early most people can be treated with antibiotics without further effects. The problem is that many people go undiagnosed and over time the damage done to the body can be terrible. Hopefully Ren’s current treatment plan will allow him to have a more normal life again. Enjoy your continued journey with Ren’s art. Most of his fans are supportive and the ones who are negative probably just need a hug. 🤗

Don't let the negativity bother you. You do you

Haters will hate... trolls will troll...and 40 yr old virgin boiz living in their parents basement will be... well you get it. 😁 Keep it up guys! 😁👍 Ren is truly a lyrical genius despite his problems 😊🙏❤️

in the beginning its not about the chords, It was about silence between them.

[@jessietucker9342]

Hey, no worries mates, Ren and his community are a taste that many were unprepared for, but, once they experience, will quickly fully appreciate!!!

Hi Ren is A Lot to take in. You guys did great . It's 9 mins so forget the negative comments.❤✌️check out Fingers by chinchilla live version . Demand respect is a great song as well but no video.

I don't get the negative comments. But as you say YT and internet can be harsh and very quick to sling utter bs at you. But what I saw was a very good reaction to "Hi Ren". It's a journey when you go into that piece of art blindly. Chinchilla and Ren together are so good. It's like they feed of eachother's musical energy ... so to speak. I think you are absolutely right Amanda. Because this sounds like it is about, back when he hadn't gotten his Lyme diagnosis yet, and he was bed bound 23 hours a day, and was on the wrong medication for a mental illness he did not have. And speaking from experience the wrong psychotropic drugs can really make you feel like a shell of yourself.

Love both of your reactions. One, is more technical, and second the sensitive side... both really balances everything out perfectly.
