You have no idea how much I wanted to reach out to you, give you a big hug and reassure you everything will be alright. My daughter went to school with Ren and we’ve always known about his struggles over the years. I hope these powerful messages he is sending out to the world make people realise they are not alone. Help is always there if you need it, don’t apologise for your emotional response. Seriously it’s perfectly normal and it shows us you are real and open in willing to show us your vulnerability. Take care Ashley, my thoughts, prayers and good wishes are with you from over the pond Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 UK 🇬🇧 x

[@SlashleyReacts]

thank you SOOOO much for reaching out with such a sweet and sincere message! i hope that you are doing really well, and the same to your loved ones! that really is something special that yous personally know Ren, he is very talented in more ways than one!! wishing you all the best!! **hugs**

[@Aggro-bbx]

Could you tell ren that he is impacting youth all the way to grandparents, people with all sorts of struggles, people that hide there pain, the only thing that sucks is that these people have to go through hell with a smile plastered on their face.

[@robertpetre9378]

Rens ability to connect to so many people on such a deep emotional level is what makes him great. He may not have lots of awards or Grammys, but he is a true artist in the truest sense of the word.

[@SlashleyReacts]

Honestly... he really is magnificent.. and I hope he continues to realize that, every single day

[@robertpetre9378]

@@SlashleyReacts I hope once he gets cured of Lyme disease he’ll come back to the UK and start performing again

[@greenmonster4918]

Yeah mate, I can't stop watching reaction vids because it gets me in the feels just seeing how many people are SO MOVED by his music... All ages, races, backgrounds. It is so rare to be touched by music at all 'lately'... Seriously, how many songs before Ren gave you goosebumps?

[@jessietucker9342]

He is up for some upcoming awards, so stay tuned......

[@iasa4335]

At this point, why would you want to be recognized by those slimeballs? If real humans appreciate you, that's the real award.

[@rodgersmith6891]

Their duet on Ren's "How to be me" is even more spectacular 😍

[@christianking8962]

Love love love How To Be Me!!!! I'm already a huge fan of Ren... But looking forward to Chinchilla blowing up also!!!!

[@greenmonster4918]

Chinchilla is brilliant in her own right. She does "how to be me" with Ren... Watch the studio recording first to appreciate how good it is, then watch the live version and wonder in awe how they made it better. Also, her own song "fingers" (live) is blowing up right now... You gotta watch it to see why!

[@SlashleyReacts]

Imma have to check it out !!

[@tattoodude8946]

@@SlashleyReacts Make sure to watch the live version of Fingers - so much better than the studio version. Chinchilla is an entertainer and performance artist as much as a amazing vocalist.

[@Jbomb-ep4jr]

There’s literally hundreds of reaction channels on KZbin. Hundreds of creators who are genuine, raw, and able to connect with their subscribers in ways only music makes possible. Yet you stand out. You connect on a different level. It’s special Ash, it’s a gift, and you have it. Ty for this, and for all of your reactions.

[@SlashleyReacts]

this really hit me in the heart, thank you so much!! i appreciate you!

[@JimGraham-jj8fv]

Someone’s got it hard

[@greglecig5549]

I think the biggest thing that I’ve noticed with Ren’s music and people reacting to it is that it has seemed to open up people’s emotions for everyone to see. It’s actually affecting people at their core. It’s making everyone vulnerable and it’s been beautiful to watch in what has become a cold world. Your reactions have been heartfelt and beautiful. Thank you for showing that side of yourself and hopefully it’s all helping you too 🖤🖤🖤

[@SlashleyReacts]

Absolutely and it's moments like in this video.. I didn't realize I needed to let out emotions until I did. Thank you for taking the time to respond!

[@itspickleric138]

Best way to describe Ren I've ever seen

[@peterscott3276]

What a great insight. I feel the same but never really expressed it to anyone, even myself. You're so right though. He makes people vulnerable and people need it so badly

[@lisarussell2914]

I love how Ren and Chinchilla look the other straight in the eyes when they sing together live

[@Courtneyp85]

He calls her his musical sibling, and I love that so much

[@wainsws57]

And Boom there it is the human connection. We have all felt moved and cried with REN’s music. We are all connecting with him, each other, and also through these reactions I know I’m not alone, as Ren says in Hi Ren…we must remember we are human❤

[@SlashleyReacts]

We really are!!! Thank you!

[@ali50n]

What a beautiful and heart-felt reaction. Never apologise for genuine emotion. You had your entire audience crying with you.. and wanting to give you a hug. . that's the magic of Ren..

[@SlashleyReacts]

❤❤❤❤ thank you

[@ChristopherRobertHills]

Ren is a beautiful soul as are you, he has made music not only interesting again but also relevant with emotions we all deal with, some on a larger scale but nonetheless he has brought the human experience to the forefront, music should evoke emotion and can help heal us i really think we all need that, especially these days . You are NOT ALONE!!, i myself suffer from depression and anxiety, there is no shame in it, we are born as we are and are all beautiful , hold your head high, you got this Ash! 💕

[@SlashleyReacts]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Annnd... WE continue to have this, and always will!! WE ARE STRONG ASS MOTHERFUCKERS! I APPRECIATE YOU!!!

[@ChristopherRobertHills]

@@SlashleyReacts Appreciate you too 🤘

[@azmod3ous192]

Ever since I found Ren since the premiere of Hi Ren I've made great strides in my mental health. The man gave me a way to look differently upon myself and my past struggles. It's because of him I truly understand what it the phrase "It's ok to not be ok." means. The man truly saved my life. I'm glad he's able to help people this way because pills and therapy were not it for me.

[@SlashleyReacts]

Absolutely And ultimately YOU need to find what works best for YOU

[@JaM-R2TR4]

What's really crazy is deeper you go into Ren's playlist, you find such incredible songs its just unbelievable.. (just wait for Crutch)

i believe it!!

[@bazm2024]

I've come to understand that sometimes you need to cry, but that you can cry for yourself, or you can cry with empathy. Ren just drags the pain out of you and lays it bare. Hes broken me so many times but each time i come out a better person.

[@keithcameron6646]

Nothing wrong in showing emotion and you're very eloquent. I've listened to this song countless times and I get chills every single time. I enjoyed you're reaction and I empathize as I have to medicate every day for depression and we're all tough mother f@ckers who have to battle every day.

[@SlashleyReacts]

YES WE ARE!!! i hope you are doing really well tho! thank you for the kind words!

[@diamondflaw]

I watch so many REN reactions because the human connection of crying honestly and vulnerably with someone else is something that I really need right now. Thank you.

[@BawkBawk42]

41 yr old blue collar worker. Much of Rens work is cathartic and every time I watch Im bound to tear up. Some of the most unexpected (to me) reactors have become my favorite Ren reactors because we can all see that his music truly speaks to you as it does us. After all, none of us want to be alone with these kinds of emotions. I suggest Crutch by Ren ft Bibi. but be prepared, it seems to be a very tough time in Ren's life, capturing the desperation in his spiral down his misdiagnosed path.

[@collinking4310]

The release of emotions that Ren forces out of us is unreal. ✌❤💪

[@fiendishtooth]

A good cry is needed now and then. Chinchilla is a powerhouse of a performer just waiting to explode. I've listened to her performing 'fingers' live for hunger tv so many times this past week. Ren and his friends are all super talented. Keep the good around you.

[@SlashleyReacts]

Thank you! ND it really is

[@chininhk]

67 years old male from Australia here. I tear up when listening to Ren too so don't worry, we are all human beings. Loved your comment that music can be a type of hug. Hugs to all those who have found emotion in whatever music youfindcomfortin. .

[@Hexenkind1]

This reaction made me want to hug you. And I can tell that those songs are helping you open up a little bit more and more. They are really cathartic and help us all cope with our own struggles. Ren did it for me many times now and was able to channel my bottled up feelings from the inside once again, let them all out. It was wonderful to be able to do that again and no pill and no therapist could have done that better. It is about facing your own struggles and not constantly just running away from them, because they always will get to you eventually. So facing them head on, go through it and get healthier in the process is so vital for our own evolution as a person. Long story short: Once again I am grateful that you let us be a part of your emotional world, it is not taken for granted, it never should be.

[@greenmonster4918]

Can I take this a step further? His music & the reaction channels that are really promoting him have really opened up communities of people who are so willing to share their own stories & who are all trying to lift each other up... It's a beautiful thing! ❤

[@SlashleyReacts]

Awee thank you very much!! I really appreciate❤

[@Sabrina-wz9ko]

@@greenmonster4918 Agree 100%. I think some of the communities were already formed probably thanks to the pandemic, but a lot more have popped up recently that are just about being there for each other, sharing the good and the bad, and many of them are because Ren encourages that openness. It's absolutely breathtaking to see so much of the better side of humanity again! 💜

[@mattmorrisson9607]

Ash, I know the EXACT feeling you're sharing about not knowing how to express yourself, along with how Ren is breaking you open and feel feelings. I'm so happy for you.

[@TheQueBonic]

Ren has helped all of "the broken" to come together. And I believe all of us, no matter how "well we have it together" are somewhat broken on the inside. Great reaction, glad you could share your feelings and thoughts with us. Keep up the good fight.

[@SlashleyReacts]

Well said!

[@aixmhros]

living with depression is a blessing in disguise never second guessing, intuition getting wise..

[@davidricks7128]

Ren is therapy for so many from one song he helps so many people open up in ways therapists struggle to do in person. This song is beautiful and they sing so well together Chinchilla sounds like Pink in certain parts great tune

[@lotusnyt]

In the 2000s there was a group therapy practice where you would lay on the ground and have another patient draw your outline on white paper. Then you would fill in that outline with your thoughts and dreams. 😢

[@EchelonDnB]

i LOVE how Ren has brought so many people from ALL walks of life, together - something we can all enjoy and feel positive and even cathartic about (if youre me lol) and especially at the moment when the world just seems to rubbish. Ren = saviour of the world? OK, that's maybe a bit too much but I think he's something that we've all needed and been waiting for - someone who is polarising all the good people in the world. Also - you have NOTHING to apologise for. We love you for being you so keep on keeping on and keep being you. I've just found your channel and I'm a happier person for having done so. Last but not least - how good a singer is Chinchilla?!?!? If this song gets signed and released it will be number 1 for years! :D Lots of love. Ste x

Do you know what attracts people more than anything else? Authenticity. So cry if you need to cry. Be you, unapologetically. And I’ve seen this performance probably 100 times now…still tear up, at a minimum. Thank you for being brave enough to be you. The world would be a different place if more would take that leap.

[@TheJaxxT]

It’s so beautiful to see someone so raw on KZbin. Many hide their emotions cos they don’t want to be judged, but seeing you really feel the music and allowing it to come out in your tears is a beautiful thing to see. I’m not saying I enjoy seeing people cry, that’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying it’s nice to see someone real. I have struggled with depression and anxiety for many years now and it is the worst thing to try and cope with. But knowing I’m not alone by watching your reactions is comforting x

[@SlashleyReacts]

aweee, **hugs to you** if that's ok, of course!! that's the beautiful thing about the internet... we can connect with so many "strangers" that understand one another more than actual IRL people that we have known for years!! i hope you are doing really well! and continue on being the BADASS that you are

I've watched the Chalk Outlines video like a dozen times, and this live version still gives me chills

[@burton528hz]

"I didn't realize I needed to cry." Wow, I hope you realize that is incredible insight about yourself. We tend to stuff our emotions away into a hidden place so no one can see them. Well we are here on this planet to have a human experience and FEEL everything as part of soul growth and releasing past traumas. When we stumble across A Ren song with raw human emotion we get triggered and stuff bubbles up. This is a great thing and so beneficial for our work and connection with our true self. ❤

You are the absolute best as you tend to listen to the whole song without interruption

[@chrisvaughn4399]

...'Scared of being ok, 'cause all things change.." Those are words of wisdom from a mind that has emerged from a very, very dark and hopeless abyss. After nearly 50 laps around the sun, such an amazingly profound lyric is so unbelievely cathartic. The message contained here fits seamlessly with 'Hi Ren' In the gallows standing on my toes so I can breathe / the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope. A master class in classy reference to bridge gaps between tracks and allude to his own work in a way that paints such a raw and real picture of the path he has traveled and the obstacles he has navigated in life to get to this point. That pendulum is real. Keep fighting the fight and making positive changes until the light shines for you.

[@Rawberrito]

*collapses in a puddle of tears* 😭 I think this Ren song is my new favorite of his....I made it all the way through without crying (mostly) but your talk afterwards..... *saddest sigh* ....thank you Ash. *warmest squishiest hugs*

[@bigreddraggin4443]

Thank you for keeping it real, sometimes even badass demon slayers need to cry, never feel bad for being able to show emotion that is a strength in itself and it is something the world needs so much more of. Sometimes its just the best thing to feel heard, to know that someone out there just gets you, and I think that is the ultimate power of music especially with artists like Ren and Chinchilla who seem to effortlessly pour themselves into their work. Great reacton to a great song, keep doing what you do, you make a lot of people happy, never forget it

[@jameshall9587]

I subbed to your twitch the other day and told you that your Ren reactions drove me there. Isn't it amazing that we have this little community here of so many different people from so many different walks of life and so many different viewpoints but we can all come together and relate to something this beautiful. Thank you for being okay showing your vulnerability. It allows others to feel the same emotions, and sometimes isn't that what we're after? A way to let these feelings out? I can never thank Ren enough for the sountrack he's given the world. I get so fucking proud of the guy. And you know what, you're creating too. So I'm also so fucking proud of you. I heard a wise man once use the expression, "kicking down doors and punching demons in the throat". And isn't that the same sentiment in Hi Ren when he stands up and says COWER at the man I've become! As I sing from the top of my lungs! That I won't retire I'll stand in your fire inspire the meek to be strong! Ugh it gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Thank you for these videos. I love watching people take the emotional ride with honesty. Hugs, friend.

[@gaweaver81]

I joined after seeing your first reaction. Your personality sold me in the first few minutes. I enjoy they way you talk to us, open up and share. It will take you far. I expect your numbers to jump quick. Your awesome. And as you say, Your loved and I am proud of you!!

sometimes we all need to cry... when I hear ren and/or chinchilla; I happy /sad cry - it's humbling. Big hugs

[@JaredG108]

Amazing reaction Ash just like you said music is way to express ourselves and its like a virtual hug. When Ren says "little by little bit by bit I push it back down with a new habit..." it always reminds me that I used to push everything I had going in life and in my head by creating a new habit or addiction i uses to smoke a lot of cigarettes and vapes. Then I moved on to alcohol and that's when everything got worse because it's a bad habit a bad addiction. I actually found out from my grandparents that addictions run in my family. Even when I stop all of it and I fight it off. I somehow end up drinking or smoking again. I keep pushing it down with a new habit.

[@evolutionviii12]

You should check out some of his other collabs! Ocean ft. Eden Nash and Humble ft. Eden Nash are 2 of my top 5s in Ren's catalogue! You will love them!

[@Pills4t2]

you can see your facial expression melt with the chorus introduction ,beautiful, thankyou for loving this music with us.

[@Asgardsteve1]

Words are just one way to express yourself there are many others. Your facial expressions when I have seen you watch Ren's videos clearly express your feelings etc without the need for words. Remember those that care about you as a person will be able to fully understand you and believe in you however you find the way to express your feelings.

[@SparkyReynolds]

by watching you let out some bottled up emotions also lets us get out some bottled up emotions as well....I struggle with being emotionally detached since childhood... but in exchange I'm very empathetic with others... and it seems to be the only way I can release what I don't even realize i need to let out.... so thank you as well!!🥰

[@SlashleyReacts]

I"m glad that you were able to release some emotions as well.. Yea.. something I am realizing about myself more and more.. is how much I have bottled up... and it is so nice to be able to just...let go sometimes..

If you haven't checked but How to be Me with Ren X Chinchilla. That saved my life this past week, no bullshit. He's super special.

[@andrewwright943]

Im not ok.... I havent been for a long time. I struggle on a daily basis with my inadedquasies, my doubts, my 'black dog days'..... And much as i knew i wasnt alone, that others struggled it didnt hit home until the last month or so since i discovered Rens art. Yes, theres been artists write songs about their inner struggles, but none with the power that Ren does. "Chalk outlines" is one amazing piece of art. From the very moment he starts singing, i well up Because i know that feeling of waking up, hoping against hope that i am a differant person, that for one day i can be someone other than the car wreck i am daily. Ive taken a wde selection of meds to keep me afloat, and other 'drugs' that arent prescribed to put that smile on my face. And when Chinchilla starts to sing, the floodgates open. Its such a beautiful somg about the saddest of subjects, but everytime i hear it, which has become a daily thing, after the tears have finished and ive caught my breath i feel a little better prepared to face the world.

I really want to know what makeup products you use because you consistently still look fabulous even crying! I would look like a racoon as soon as a single tear fell! It takes practice to stop apologizing for existing, I still do it and I'm in my 30's, but GO YOU for catching yourself. I find it refreshing when I see I'm not the only one who gets emotional over Ren's music, I keep tissues by me every time I am going to listen to a new Ren song. It's kind of one of his superpowers and I'm finding Chinchilla has the same effect on me. Stay strong and keep kicking ass girl! You are becoming a gothic ray of sunshine in my life and I need that right now, so thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I have anxiety, bipolar, autism, and a crap load of autoimmune/other diseases that also affect my brain. You look beautiful, a woman showing her emotions is powerful.

Just discovered Ren, so I'm deep diving on his reaction videos. I respect your human response to this song. I'm bipolar and I feel like Ren gets people like us. I'm a 40 year old dude and I was gushing just like you by the end of this song.

thank you for just listening to the song then giving your thoughts, makes a refreshing change

My cousin sent me this song, and I was bawling halfway through, sobbing by the end. Beautiful

[@sampanther8854]

I feel you ❤ Ren speaks for many especially those that don't have the words.

Never apologize for being who you are and what you’re going through or have dealt with. Ren is such a powerful artist, he has the courage to express himself despite everything he’s gone through. This song got to me too. As a Psych RN the message hits home for me on the flip side because I try to help people like Ren. It’s not easy when you’re fighting against a system that’s designed to make money instead of help people. We are all human beings just trying to get through the day. Ren is doing a great job of helping bring people together. We all doubt ourselves and have that voice inside our heads like he expressed in “Hi Ren” and it’s hard to get through this life just ignoring it. Be strong and remember that we all struggle and suffer but we can all get through this together.

This song is on the same level as Hi Ren. As an empathetic person that struggles(suffers) with depression, I feel his personal take on mental health, and sometimes we all need to cry. Never be ashamed of the tears you shed. We all must try to keep the darkness away as long as possible. ✌💚🇨🇦⛰

Huge hugs from here in the UK. Ren touches so many of us, especially those of us living with mental health issues. It's ok to cry. I do it a lot. I do it every time I hear one of Ren's songs. It shows we are in touch with our emotions. It shows we do care, especially about what matters. It's ok to take that medication to help us. If you cut your finger, you put a plaster on it. So think of those tablets as a bandaid for the mind. You are strong. You are a good person. This is sent with love and hugs 🥰x

[@duchesserickson4069]

You are a beautiful strong woman and there is nothing wrong with expressing emotions. Ren is amazing at connecting people with their inner emotions and troubles, this is why so many of us love him, he is real and bares his soul to the world in such a heartfelt and genuine manner.

Take heart from the fact that there is so much beauty in the world to be uncovered in art , in literature, in music, in travel as well as in friends and family. We cannot all have an abundance in every category but we can all access some of it to help us through the tough days. And believe me whatever it looks like on instagram EVERYBODY has those tough days! REN brings some of that beauty to us and yeah some music can be a virtual hug when there is no one around to provide a physical one. Seek out the beauty in all things and there will be more good times than bad on the rollercoaster of life.

[@walkerig1]

Truth and honesty is what we all need and look for in all art and reaction to it.

[@faceneast]

You are expressing yourself beautifully - Love You 😘

[@SlashleyReacts]

thank you!!

[@Sabrina-wz9ko]

Aww hon. I think most of us understand. We put up dams and defenses so we can go about living our daily lives, and sometimes it's really hard to to open a flood gate knowing it might be hard to close it again. Ren is especially good at opening those flood gates thanks to his willingness to bare it all. 🫂💜 As a few others have suggested, their collab How to be me (live) is another beautiful yet sad song, and I do highly recommend it. But maybe first check out Chinchilla's solo track Elements (lyric video) on her channel for a fun "boss bitch" kind of vibe.

HUGZ Ashley, lots of HUGZ!!~ You can say sorry when you make a mistake in a choice you could have made differently. However, you shouldn't feel the need to say sorry for the imperfections of which you have little or no control over. Never apologize for being who you really are!

[@WickedB_13]

I'm so glad I found you through Chinchilla. She's amazing and so are you! Thank you for being so real!

[@ImSpencerBrownBackup]

I had a single tear when I heard this for the first time.. powerful song!

[@avalonprojectwildfire]

He makes me cry too! But that's just how amazing the message is! Cross genre boundaries cos a deep soul is a deep soul!

[@franklella8307]

Ash, your honesty and your genuineness is the reason I subscribed. you definitely have the perfect attitude for reacting to music. ty for that. also never apologize for crying, it shows how deeply you feel things and that alone is so incredibly relatable.

[@rexrogers1859]

You have a good heart. Thank you for what you do. I'm a 58 year old man and emotion and tears mean we're alive. Hugs

[@SHARKY80800]

speaking about it helps let it out girl music, lyrics help don't be afraid to show emotions. am a guy from Scotland who was always told you don't cry. as I've aged i find some singers some songs smash you in the feels and i don't hold back as i find a sense of relief showing emotions. your a stronger person for it cos if you keep your emotions in they will eat at you. stay strong just be you and at some point it'll all come together and be so worth it. respect keep on keeping on❤

[@Codex7777]

It's actually a good thing that it gets to you. :) Besides, having that effect on us all, is almost part of Ren's job description and you wouldn't want him to lose his job. ;) :)

[@silviavousden3316]

Having been on drugs to cope with depression, I know where you are coming from. You are resilient. You are powerful in your vulnerability, so don't ever apologise for crying. No one should ever tell you how you are supposed to feel.

[@shazza175]

I needed this too. So glad I saved your Ren reactions up for this rainy day. Love you. 48 year old goth on a bad day. X

[@mindiparduhn5662]

They both hit you in the heart, for sure ❤

[@grizzlyadams8523]

this gentleman to me is everything, noone has ever made me feel this way out loud, thank you ren, really thank you x
