Vocal Coach Analysis: REN & Chinchilla sings "Chalk outlines" - another brilliantly written song!

[@sinrenfield]

I really hope you do The Tales of Jenny and Screech (FULL) the full is important, as it's a story song in 3 parts. It's lengthy, but worth it. More live performance, and use of surrounding reverb. And lyrically and musically it's brilliant.

[@9madness9]

No prewatching this time, nothing wrong with bit emotion. How to be me live worth a listen to also

Over 1 million videos using her chorus on TikTok in 3 months for many empowerment videos. She and Ren are hitting success in their own ways together! :) love them both.

[@williamalexander7481]

[@nickmailer1598]

Not only does his raw pitchiness not matter to me, but I find it a positive breath of fresh air in these days of highly manicured autotuned banalities. A raw, live, one-take, one-mic record of vocal passion beats the crap out of the artifice that is our usual lot.

[@TheChristOfRockNRoll]

Singers like Ren gets away with being slightly and every now and then inaccurate pitch wise in fact this fact enhances his art rather than diminish it. That is because his soulful raw emotions overcompensates for pitch imperfections and comes across as expressive and at times elemental of conversationallike which is highly emotive. Auto-tune or even pitch corrections will erase this unique quality of artists like Ren. Not every singer can get away with this because they just don't have the depth of expression and intense feeling delivered by Ren type artists. While autotune will benefit the somewhat vocally weak singers on pitch matters it robs artists like Ren of character, expression and emotional connection. See how unfair the prevalent and standardised across the board use of this robotic device is upon artists if you are signed to a major record label.

[@michellelevert5128]

Watching it beforehand kind of takes the fun out of the experience for many of the people who love to watch reactions. We can’t ever see it for the first time again so we watch others do it so we can kind of feel that way again through others.

[@ArctophileGA]

Ren often picks spaces for the acoustics. If you do the Tales of Jenny and Screech (FULL), the third part has him moving through a building with deliberate pauses to provide natural acoustics from the spaces he's in. It's absolutely amazing and one of the most incredible bits of one-shot choreography I've ever seen or heard just for that.

Never ever listen to Ren without us before! we want experience your first real reaction love your analisys! I also highly recommend "how to be me" by this duo and "fingers" live by Chinchilla. I was blown away listening to this

[@bonnievonbraun6276]

I think that Ren's vocal style, that "push", that clarity , was something developed during the years he sang on the streets in Brighton. You are correct about Ren being self taught. There are several duets with Chinchilla, including some singing out on the streets. Chinchilla was a bit daunted at the idea, but Ren finally got her out there. Thanks for you sharing with us!

[@iamsquatty]

This is such a beautiful song, ren and chinchilla mesh so well together. I think youd also enjoy their live version of "how to be me", its got a lot of vocal acrobatics in it 💜💜

[@LoutTsu]

Highly recommend "How to Be Me" live by Ren and Chinchilla. Amazing song and performance! Subbed.

[@theeteecee]

Was just going to say this - please do "How to be Me"!!

[@ThatManWasRightThereISwear]

"I'm scared of being okay cuz all things change" might be the hardest hitting lyric I've ever heard in my life.

[@twistedpixel756]

My favorite part about this song, towards the end of the bridge, while she's sort of whisper wailing behind him, it's just something really magical that they captured with the two emotions here. you have Ren giving off this numb sadness, and then her in the background with so much more pain emoted, but at the same time repressed. Combined, it somehow reminds me of that fraction of a second just before you cry, that tight, almost warm feeling you get in your throat, and then all the music drops out and it feels just like the tears fall. I don't know, I wish there was a word for it, i'm not even sure that description is coherent enough to follow, but it just fascinates me that they were able to both somehow capture that, and then convey it back to us.

[@seth1455]

you just reminded me of something a meditation teacher taught me about living in union (yoga), "it's like that feeling just before you smile"

[@Phazetic99]

I always felt that this song is a duality of the inner thoughts of one person, the ying and yang of our personality. This is the significance of the power outage before he gets the chair and guitar. It happens again just before Chinchilla is revealed. Just like Hi Ren, it signifies the dual personality within ourselves, the feminine and the masculine this time.

[@lemurskin1234]

You need to react to Chinchilla's "Fingers Live for Hunger TV", jaw-dropping vocal control.

[@paddyhiggins]

STUNNING vocals on that one.

[@johnekare8376]

Great reaction! I really enjoy hearing your thoughts. I do feel, a little, that we lost out on hearing your initial reaction to it. I appreciate the honesty and I get if that sort of unknown can be daunting to broadcast, given the subject matters he touches on in his lyrics, but it's something very authentic about seeing someone experience it for the first time. I have thought about why that is, and I can only speak for myself here, but I think it is a little bit like experience it for the first time again. Anyway, if you do end up doing the Tale of Jenny and Screech trilogy I would ask you to at least consider doing it as a blind reaction - at least consider recording your initial reaction and then make up your mind if you feel comfortable putting it online. Anyway, enough of my ramblings! Thank you for revisiting Ren and be well!

[@JohanBesterYourVocalCoach]

Thanks for your lovely comment - really appreciated!

[@whimsysmith2835]

I agree. That said, there is something to be said with going back and doing a deep dive. I love watching people experience this for the first time, but I appreciate learning a little more about the music than I can grasp as a layman.

[@ricci8497]

The chalk outlines is not to do with physical death but the mental death from taking the pills to cut the voices out the anxiety out just to partially function and how you feel not yourself when on such pills.

[@limner123]

I believe it to be both, and other things too

[@LeeannG]

One Ren interested, two Ren SUBSCRIBE Also Chinny is off the wall amazing with her vocals, she really flexes on her solo stuff. Also, while Rens music often discusses mental health, it doesn’t always. Sometimes he’s a cheeky bugger and just likes wordplay, so don’t be surprised if you bump into some Ren music that throws you for a loop 🤣

[@robmarar]

You're correct, Ren is self taught in singing as well as in all of his instrumentation, guitar, bass, piano, drums and beatboxing. He also has heavy influences from Jazz, Reggae and Ska genre's. One my favorite songs by Ren is "Ready For You", where he blends Jazz, Spoken Word & Rapping, with some impressive scatting and runs throughout that track. Also his performance; with his band The Big Push, in the mashup of "I Shot The Sherriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop" is a must see where he blends a little blues, reggae, ska, scatting & rap seamlessly. Music just exudes from his pours🤯❤❤.

[@E.SC.E]

Hi. You must watch and analyze Ren the tale of Jenny and Screech. It is a story consisting of 3 songs where the first and third are probably 4 years apart. Each one is unique and amazing. You will surely be surprised at the end. :)

[@JohanBesterYourVocalCoach]

Wow... thanks so much 😊

[@limner123]

The favorite thing I’ve heard in a Ren listen is a classical musician pointed out that while some of his guitar work sounds like good classical guitar, the way he holds his hands indicates that he taught himself. It’s quite impressive. Now, having you point out that the way he uses his voice, while very good singing, indicates him teaching himself. I think it’s amazing how he becomes interested in a new facet of creation and just does it, and excels. He’s both driven and talented, which is why he’s brilliant.

[@VideosbyLisaLisa]

I like that you noticed the intentionality of the sound before he starts playing. The sound of the chair snapping open reminds me of the classic jail cell door closing sound, which sets a trapped kind of feeling for me. And then he starts, "I'm still here in this bed that I crawled in." Just sublime. Ren is very deliberate, and has remarked that he thinks of his videos as part of the song creation process. It's a crazy ride, but if you're familiar with Orwellian themes, you might be interested in his "Animal Flow." It's a great example of his creativity, his thoughts on society, and his willingness to just let it all hang out there without worrying about how contemporary music should be. I love it, but it took me several watches to better understand it. If you like storytelling, The Tales of Jenny and Screech trilogy should be next. He embraces each with an imperfect sound and hints of "improper" pronunciation. It's masterful how his performance draws you in. ("Money Game" is also great storytelling, though completely different.) I understand his mother is a singer, but I'm not sure what he was taught. I know he learned to play guitar watching videos of Hendrix and John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers). He first started selling music by producing beats and making CDs of them when he was young. He began attending a musical college, in Bath I think, but dropped out sĥortly when he became too ill to attend. He was bedridden for a long time, but read a lot and philosophized a lot, as well as wrote and practiced. He also plays bass, drums and piano, and creates his own beats.

[@cherylwilson8743]

" he just makes whatever sound he wants to make " um yeah, that pretty much sums Ren up and we're all here for it. There is just something very special about him.

[@matisan8407]

yes, you nailed it, "not pretentious" thats the best i've seen it put. The themes and stories he presents could so easily be sappy, banal or pretentious but they aren't. His art is making them relatable and human.

Chinchilla is an extraordinary artist who writes and produces her own work which is fast becoming recognised. Go to Fingers Live for Hunger TV to really hear her voice and what she is capable of.

[@caladonn2659]

Ren is not a Trained Musician but self taught off youtube videos which makes his accomplishments even more Fantastic! His sense of Rhythm and Tempo is so precise to the Emotion he is trying to evoke as to be actually Genius! I'm a 61 Year Old Fan of Great Storytellers from Classic rock's Jim Croche and Cat Stevens to the Metal Rock of Iron Maiden, and Ren is Clearly on par with any of them! His Vocal Clarity in every Genre he plays in is beyond the Norm and allows many fans to enjoy his songs even if they don't normally listen to that Genre!

[@ThatChris24]

The chalk outlines to me at least, refers to the Zombie state that most anti depressants put you in. They numb you to the point where the true you dies and you are left a floating shell of yourself

[@wopaah]

Anti-depressants, but also other pills for chronic mental and physical pains. When KariSma says that the melody is kind of usual, well-known, pop-like, then I feel like it's specifically made dull just like the emotional state of people on those pills. There are clearly deep emotions going on in the words (and the singers bring them out vocally towards the end), but the guitar always floats somewhere in the middle, 'afraid' or 'unable' to stray from the 'lifeless' centre.

[@seth1455]

couldn't have put it better myself, speaking from personal experience it's a very accurate description

[@spruce381]

Exactly / and then the fear to feel differently on a better day.

[@jonasmandersson]

For me it’s the line ”I’m scared of being okay, ’cause all things change” that gets me everytime. When life has served you with a lot of disappointment, you’re never far away from another.

[@Codex7777]

You need to listen to more Ren to truly appreciate his vocals. I can guarantee that he'll surprise you! He has a great voice. Capable of multiple voices, styles and tones. More powerful than you'd think and with oodles of control. He understands vocal light and shade very well and adds little subtleties and nuances. It may help to know that his vocal icons are Nina Simone and Jeff Buckley. I'd recommend "Man's World" to hear yet another side of Ren. It's part of a trio of songs, sung with Sam Tompkins, whilst busking in Brighton. It's a good place to start, for certain. His live acoustic version of murder is another. After a while you realise that a lot that you thought was relatively random, is very deliberate. He also loves to play around on the edges of imperfection, which is always something that I love in a musician. He'll sometimes do the same while playing an instrument. He loves his guitars but he can play ten instruments well. Half of them ridiculously well! He also lays down all his own music/beats and is a top-notch producer. He directs most of his own videos too. Most of them recorded live, in a single take. As with this song and Hi Ren. His lyricism is fantastic. He's a poet really. He also raps like a rap god, with incredible flow and constant changes of flow and cadence. He also has a wicked sense of humour, which pops up frequently. He's entirely self-taught Mostly in the gaps in the chronic pain caused by his array of serious medical conditions. The one exception is his voice. He was helped on some basic vocal techniques, by his mother who, funnily enough, is a vocal coah! :)

[@ThereWasATime]

For me, the pinnacle of Ren & Chinchilla will always be "How to be me (Live)". I'm still training to watch that without crying.

[@markafcb]

Great reaction, really enjoyed your analysis. I’d recommend Chinchilla “Fingers Live For Hunger TV”. I think you’ll be surprised by the vocal styles she showcases!

[@Skittenmeow]

Chalk outlines are actually drawn around the surviving victims of a violent crime, documenting where they were positioned, before being removed by paramedics to attempt lifesaving treatment. Corpses are able to be left at the scene long enough for crime-scene photographers to record where they lay and what happened, but the potential survivors only get a chalk outline. If they don't survive medical treatment the chalk outline may be their only testimony of what happened to them. It's an extremely common misconception about chalk outlines only being drawn around dead bodies, rather than surviving victims...which is a great metaphor for how society views chronic illness. You are already perceived as dead by outsiders, or act in a way as if you may as well be dead, withdrawn, even though you're still alive. Drawing an outline around yourself? 😢

[@TRPLD]

Great breakdown! Got a new subscriber! If you want to see them together again, you could do "How to be me", also the live version. Its marvelous... But please, please, please don't watch it before your reaction! That's half the fun of it, to get your first unfiltered impression. Nevertheless, very concise and interesting analysis!

[@janegill8990]

For me its the imperfections that make it perfect. CHINCILLA is amazing. As others have said, please do 'how to be me' the live version, but for her solo songs, Fingers live is stunning but many over look 'cold water' you'll find in Chinchilla topic and not on her channel.

[@leehallam9365]

I think you are right about the lack of formal training. Musically he has said he started with a guitar and making beats for raps, but he grew up in a small village and there was no one to rap or sing, so he had to do it himself. He did go to university to study music, but he was only there briefly, that was when his health issues got in the way. He learnt guitar from KZbin, not from tutorials, but by slowing down videos to see what great players were doing.

[@inuchan74]

Also, I find it to be more powerful than almost anything he’s done (except maybe his most recent live version of the song SU1C1DE on the piano.

For REN, this was truly his reality. Ren had misdiagnosed Lyme disease for 7 years by conventional doctors who deemed him mentally ill, but when patients are experiencing neurological symptoms, they very often become misdiagnosed. Lyme disease can present itself as many neurological conditions including Acute Transverse Myelitis[3], Ptosis[4], Seizures, and Chronic Fatigue[1] and these symptoms can be often misdiagnosed or deemed psychosomatic. Second is dealing with the symptoms of Lyme neuroborreliosis, these neurological symptoms often leave patients feeling drained and debilitated as they begin losing their quality of life. Over time, patients find themselves unable to do the things they love as they struggle to get ahead of their progressing symptoms.

As opposed to the usual systematic hyper-focused picking through every minutia of the technique.

They covered Englishman in New York.

Rens twitch bio thing simply says, “I make noises” lol you are correct

[@thomasgoldschmidt298]

I use to say Ren is perfectly imperfect in his singing. 😂 ...and he is a modern day Shakespeare as you will find out sooner or later.😊

This is a beautiful song ❤️ yes it’s live.

The Verve's guitarest gave Ren this guitar after his Retake of Bitter Sweet Phymphony, you should check it out a wonderful look at the UK.

I'm so glad the pitch is not perfect. We have an overabundance of pitch corrections and uato-tune as it is. It's so refreshing to hear real, raw voices and duets.

[@charleenk71]

As someone who can play guitar, but not sing... I hate it when people figure it out (I actually love it, but you know what I mean) I just dont get it when someone can hear a note and know instinctively what it is, every song I learn to play has to be read until I learn it. It's a fantastic talent you have to hear like that.

Rens Mother is a singing teacher , I believe he has got to a professional point of being able to sacrifice perfection for feeling in a very natural way ,the immediacy of the performance seems paramount to him. Chinchilla is at her best in her orignal song ,Fingers Live For HungerT.V.that performance is exceptional and shows her range and voice control, coupled with her theatrics it is hauntingly unforgettable .They have another duet How To Be Me which in my opinion , even a little better than this one , I think they were more used to singing with each other at that time . Nice reaction , thank you
