Really a great reaction. You really know music at a deep level. I watched the interview last week with Chincilla and reaction vocal coach etc. Chris Liepe. He also identified & discussed advanced music observations of her & Ren's work. Blew me away that what you identified also discussed--i.e. her "choices' of a certain note which wouldn't have been planned in advanced & just happen in live performance. (why he prefers Live even though he appreciates studio too. That due to her & Ren's training & diligent practically their craft frequently that it becomes part of muscle memory & how in live they will just go for different note---but they have practiced that one frequently for years repeatedly so it becomes part of kinetic memory that gets used years later. He said I bet you practiced in front of mirror didn't you...for different sounds? He observed what you talked about---the sound of note from Ren with normal mouth vs. when he sang it with wide mouth. You are Master Musician McFly! Look forward to your next reaction. Beautiful sharing.
Thanks very much. Chris Liepe is a cool dude.
All of those nuances are fun to point out for a video, but they don't go over so well when you're just hanging out with friends stopping the video or song to point out every detail 😅
@@mcflyjphis best friend jumped off that bridge they are singing on
@@krotchlickmeugh627 this is a different bridge from what I saw. But I'm sure they are on a bridge to commemorate that
@mcflyjp pretty positive this is the one down the street from his apartment. Atleast that's what I read.
@@mcflyjp you're most likely right tho
It takes a strong person to admit their struggles. Especially for men to admit their struggles. Thank you for speaking as much of your truth as you feel comfortable with.
If I can help just one person then I am happy.
These two are in fact a lethal combo to your emotions.
Chinchilla has new music soon too she's been talking about.
Check out her fingers live performance. This is hers and Rens year.
Facts!!
Fingers live will be my first Chinchilla solo reaction.
@@mcflyjp you are in for another treat. Do the live version for Hunger TV
They are so emotive, love this duo 👌🏼 the connection between them is so special ❤️🔥❤️🔥
@McFly JP prepare yourself! It's kinda amazing!!!
I have never, in my 60+ years, heard a duo with such chemistry. I truly believe they've known each other in past lives.
It's almost impossible their chemistry.
Ren is cathartic. He has helped me open the emotions that I had locked away, pushed down, and ignored. I'm learning it's okay to feel. I don't have to always be strong and push on. I can take time to purge my sadness and grieve. It has been a healing experience like therapy never did for me.
His music, or the analysis of the lyrics and music, has done the same for me. I'm glad you could get some uplifting from his art.
Same here. I've actively used his and chinchillas music to step out on my old emotional suppression and actively engage in building myself up.
I agree. If I take any message from this song it's that it's ok to let yourself grieve; to feel, really feel, deep down. Empathy is a source of power, not weakness, and understanding that fact is healing.
FYI: Ren and Chinchilla define themselves as musical siblings.
That makes 100% sense
I love this!♥
I've been chasing the Ren rabbit hole, so to speak, for the past few weeks. Utmost respect, as I am Wales, Irish and Scottish. Hate that I JUST recently found out about him, but so thankful. Bitter sweet. I appreciate your acknowledgement of him (and her). I am a musician as well, I think and feel things that others don't, so you get it! Thank you for your raw exposure. I cry at most of his songs. They make me laugh and cry. 😮😅. I get him to an extent. My middle son committed suicide 2 weeks before Christmas last year... Was on ketamine. Burned down our house and then shot himself....Less than at year after my now ex husband left us after 20yrs for a new family. Child was a straight A student, just got lost. But God.... Wow man. I feel ya. I'm a praise and worship leader... All 3 of my kids and my husband (at the time) with me. HUGE adjustment. There were weeks I'd just sit at the keys and mic, start the song , lost it and just bawled the whole service. Totally get it. We can't truly help someone if we haven't gone thru it. God DOES give us more than what we can handle so we HAVE to depend on Him... If not, WE play god and don't need Him. EVERYTHING for our good and HIS glory.... Even when it doesn't make sense at times. I'm glad I stumbled across your video reaction. Can't hardly see what I'm writing, but I'm praying for you my brother. Again... Bitter sweet
I appreciate the kind words. That's a very tragic story about your son and I'm so sorry for your loss. Being a child of parents who went through a divorce it's a tough tough thing for a child to go through too (the situation you described sounds a little more tragic). I couldn't imagine any of my kids going through that and making that decision. I feel so much for you!
Never apologize for showing emotion. Ren pulls it out of you whether you want it out or not, then you add Chinchillas haunting vocals. No chance! I wish I could give you a hug so bad!🥺 when you did chalk outlines your knowledge about music combined with your life experiences immediately made me want you to do this song. After losing my nephew (aged 20) 3 yrs ago to a quick decision in the night this song is what I could never put into words when asked how I was doing. Much love from TX❤
That's very sad and I'm sorry for your loss. That must be hard to deal with, still.
Chinchillas vocals are astounding and I'm excited to check out Fingers.
Thank you💕 and you will LOVE Fingers! She might be my favorite female artist right now!
Forged in pain, tempered in rain, this is the human existance.
Poetic.
Great reaction. It has to be Fingers live next. Chinchilla’s performance is breathtaking.
It will be coming soon.
Holy crap, that performance was mind blowing and so impressive. The way she moved, and how she emoted during the performance, left me speechless. It’s a song I’ve been listening to heavily for the last few days (when I first saw it).
She’s crazy talented.
I agree. Prepare to be amazed! Fingers (live) is another level of emotion and artistry. Cheers.
Watch the *live* version of Fingers. :) (VERO Presents: CHINCHILLA - FINGERS Live for HungerTV) The "CHINCHILLA - Fingers (Official Music Video)" version is great, too, but the live one is next level. You could always react to both in one super-sized video if you like. 😅
Was coming to comments to say the same thing.
I know when you were getting into doing the music reactions that you mentioned wanting to focus on the technical details (keep doing that please) but I really connect with your reactions to the emotional impact some of these songs are having on you. I'm very empathetic to the point that I tend to block my emotions and push people away to avoid negative feelings because they hurt too badly. Music and songs like this help me to allow myself to let go for a moment and feel my emotions that I keep bottled up.
I think the reason we're seeing a rising popularity to reaction content is that a lot of people don't have the ability to share their feelings and emotions with others in their daily lives. Channels like yours allow people who feel isolated to share an experience with someone even if it is only a one way conversation. It allows people to see that they aren't alone in feeling the way they feel.
I used to scoff at reaction videos until I found myself lacking genuine human connection. It may be para-social in nature but it scratches that very human itch, that feeling of sharing something with someone that you found profound or moving and seeing their genuine reaction for the first time.
This is all a long winded way of saying thanks for being here and doing what you do. Thanks for helping me feel like a human being.
I appreciate that. I've always known music to have that ability. To see it in action is humbling. I'm just here trying to be me (I haven't forgotten yet).
Samesies! I’m really bad at expressing my emotions except through anger, and that’s just the bottle thing. Well put; I didn’t understand why I enjoyed reaction videos. Thanks for the perspective. And the raw react McFly
Exactly this.
Well you just subconsciously (out loud) recommended your next Chinchilla track 'Fingers' live ...lol.......Cheers for reaction & comments...
Wait I did? How?
@@mcflyjp Stephen is 100% correct, Chinchilla Fingers (Live Hunger TV) is a masterpiece
No one is making art like this right now. Its unique.
100% no one is doing this.
All the hugs man. I still get chills and tear up every time I hear this song. I appreciate you allowing yourself to feel the feels. Long live the RENaissance!!!
This rabbit hole is vast and I want to go deeper.
This song is so hauntingly beautiful. You feel the incredible sadness in their voices and in the lyrics! You feel the loss of Ren's friend and just want to hold both of them close and say I'm so sorry! Big hugs to you as well 😢😊😢😊
Thank you!
Very emotional piece but that's what makes it beautiful.
Please don’t ever stop being vulnerable and showing emotion. It’s so refreshing to see men let themselves show emotion. Great review!
Thank you! It wasn't planned I promise! Ren and chinchilla together can do that to me.
Dissonant chords for the intention of building anxiety and anticipation for the inevitable climax . Reminds me of Tori’s Amos in a way . Tension. It’s haunting . It’s deliberate, and it works so amazingly well. This song is incredible.
Great reaction .
Oh hey if you want and haven’t already reacted to , check out Chinchilla Fingers live . Wooooooooow!!! Mind blown vocals. Wait a second, just checked and see you have . I’ll be checking that reaction out next .
Edit lol, I’m writing as I’m listening to you so I keep adding here . I too am affected by the emotional intensity of the voices and words . It’s impressive . I become overwhelmed and beyond choked up . It’s an amazing ability they have to evoke that strong of a reaction from the listener . So powerful. I bask in it . He’s connected with so many of us who can relate and are in need of understanding and compassion.
Cheers
🇨🇦🍻
I agree wholeheartedly that they have a way of evoking emotion that should be considered art in itself.
Also I did react to that. If you'd like to check it out it's here: czcams.com/video/5X22985ZAw0/video.html
I appreciate your raw and honest reaction. Thank you for doing this.
I can't be anything but. Thank you for the kind words.
@@mcflyjp Ren just posted a video about how CNN just threw him under the bus on a news story about Tik Tok.
What a beautiful, honest, BRAVE reaction! To me, this is REN’s message. Allowing us to be vulnerable and share our emotions with each other. Normalizing this sharing of ourselves so the next generation feel safe doing this. Well done ❤
At first I was mad at myself for letting myself get emotional. But then I realized the healing properties of it all.
A tremendous reaction, very raw and very real! Thank you for being strong enough to show and share your emotion with us. Thank you
Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate that.
Chinchilla kills it. She's a badass performer and an incredible vocalist. Well worth checking out.
This song kicks the piss out of me also. There's another thing that gets me about it is the end where the way the lyric is written, there are a few ways to read it, the "where oh my God where are you?" Specifically. In the context of the song it could be an absolutely shattered soul screaming out for God and demanding to know where he is, or it could also be a moment of freaking out and asking where his friend is with a 'my God' in there for emphasis.
It amazes me how this stuff is at a level where you can even dig into subtext. By the hallelujah part, I'm a teary snotty wreck.
This shit is hard. Thanks for being strong enough to be vulnerable. We all felt it too i think.
Just sending some good vibes and compassion your way. Thanks for hanging in there. Glad to have you with us. Existential despair is brutal.
Don't feel bad for having the feels. You're human. With AI on the rise, you never know who may be a cylon!
Real talk: if you or anyone who reads this ever feels alone and thinks they don't matter, hit me up immediately. I don't care what time it is. 🫂
This. This right here is what people need to do. Be empathetic and sympathetic.
It was a long time ago but sometimes bringing it up does hurt. I still have some stuff now but it's different stuff.
I just hate crying when I'm trying to create an intelligent explanation for something.
@@mcflyjp No worries, man. You were still successful in making that intelligent explanation. Having stuff come up is something that makes us feel uncomfortable for a variety of reasons, and I get it, but the fact that we can feel is a reminder that we're still in the game. It's cool to be human. One more blaze of glory while it's still 4/20. 👽✌
Haha. You got it! But yeah man. People need to not worry about feeling things and let it ride.
I do not know of any modern artists that allow themselves to be so naked. I think that hits harder than the lyrics and the genius of the songwriting.
In the schema of Truth - Beauty - Goodness my personal leaning is to Truth. Beautiful things are beautiful because they are True. Good things are good because they are True. This performance is beautiful and good because Ren reaches in and exposes the Truth of his experience.
Millions of people have seen it and have been moved by the beautiful courage he uses to expose the thoughts and fears that most people spend tons of attention and energy hiding away in order to look good for everyone else. The joke of that is that everyone else is doing the same hiding/looking good.
Here is Ren giving up the looking good and ending up creating a beautiful, good, and true performance that touches and moves people. It doesn't 'look good' because it doesn't have anything to do with that language and instead goes straight to beautiful (because it is True).
I have watched hours and hours of reactions looking for people that allow themselves to be touched, moved, and inspired. Allowing yourself to be authentic, to be moved, to cry, is just as beautiful.
This moved me because it was as if it was speaking directly to me.
"Nothing is pulling me through" is a heavy line for me, too, even though I don't have a background with religion to cause the extra impact coming straight after asking where god has gone.
You did an incredible job discussing the performance. I 100% agree with how important it is that Ren puts all this emotion into his song lyrics and performances, and has a voice that can deliver it all extraordinarily well (which he's then pushed, searching for additional ways of delivering expression)
There's also a point in the first verse where Ren looks skywards - on the lyric "talking" - it could be (and probably is) to god (or the dead), but it's also usefully right where he needs to hit that high note without a power onset, so it's cool to watch on both those levels of performance - a great demonstration of literally visualizing the note you need to hit before you sing it.
I full on can't imagine that there's a vocalist that's a better match for Ren to sing with than Chinchilla, even though he's amazing with Sam Tompkins and he's amazing with his bandmates in The Big Push and he's amazing with Eden Nash and I'm sure he's amazing with plenty of others. How he and Chinchilla use their voices together is unmatched anywhere in any modern music I've listened to in my 49 years on this planet.
You ABSOLUTELY have to do "Fingers" *now* (or *very* *very* *VERY* *soon*) and it ABSOLUTELY has to be the Live version.
You will be extremely angry with yourself later if you don't.
The official music video is great too, but it's the live version you need to see.
I also love love love Elements, and the Awakening EP, but *you* need to watch "Fingers" live.
Thanks for going ahead and not editing your reaction to hell to avoid showing how heavily the song hit. I think it will be meaningful to lots of people. It must be uncomfortable, but maybe it's part of a process for you (though of course it's always heavy to revisit difficult memories, much less "not exactly purposefully" and "to an audience"). Be well. ❤
K, I see you've already responded to about 100 other people who're telling you to watch Fingers live too, glad to see you're headed there now/soon, can't wait for the video!
I am definitely going to be getting to it soon.
Thank you for the kind words I agree that their voices together are unmatched. And the emotion and meaning of that song for Ren was apparent.
Ren calls Daisy (Chinchilla) his sister from another mister. He says they are so similar in the way they approach writing and performing, like she is his female counter part. They are both amazing. Hope they will always be able to find opportunities to sing together.
They are perfect together. And their chemistry is amazing.
Those few lines near the end of the song, 'Where is my god, where are you?' and 'Nothing is pulling me through'...those are some of my FAVOURITE vocals from Ren ever, the way he goes down when many would go UP. His voice there is deep and rich and I could listen to it all day long. It makes it so much more emotional. Need more lower register Ren in my life!
This song is just great alk around because it's so different. I love it too.
That part gets me every single time. The pain and desperation in his voice and in his eyes. It’s just so raw and real.
Yes I LOVE how Ren uses his face to sing. When he looks up to the sky searching for God I just lost it. 😭
That's definitely what put me over the edge. I lost it there as well.
I've never seen two people perform who actually look like they are having an intimate moment - a complete understanding of each others pain. It's really amazing to see. As for Chinchilla's voice - I'm always finding myself thinking, man, she could blow Adele out of the water. Singers like Adele or Celine Dion, you know they have such powerful voices and they sing so beautifully. But they are just singing something the way it was written. Chinchilla has that power but also is pouring out raw emotion that you just don't hear very often. Both of them get completely lost in their singing and like you've pointed out, it might not technically be flawless, but it effects the listener in a different way. I can't remember what you called it, but that anguish is what puts them on a totally different level for me.
I think the problem with Adele is just that; she's following what the companies want. I guarantee she could show just as much emotion as Chinchy and she'd gain so many more fans. But the Industry doesn't want that vulnerability.
You know what man, you sound so much like me. I've just watched this reaction, your Crutch reaction, and the thankyou video to Ren, and talking about what you've been through. Just know, I'm SO proud of you, I'm sure your wife and kids are more than happy to have you around. As a husband, as a father. I'm not going to bore you with my own life too much I promise, but I've recently left a relationship, and after being abused for 3 years, I'm glad to be away. But like this song says, I literally forgot how to be me. I've been diagnosed with depression severe anxiety, and PTSD, recently, and the man I was with wouldn't let me be alone, dress how I wanted, do with my money what I wanted. Ive recently been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. This song hits me on another level. Also ren likes people to portray his songs in a way that resonates with them personally, and I love that. I would really recommend "humble" by Ren and Eden Nash. Also "Its alright" and "Hold on". Also its okay to cry and be vulnerable, loving the content. You've got a little online family here 💜
The a.oint of people that my content has resonated with is very humbling and just proof that there actually are empathetic and sympathetic people out there.
I'm sorry you went through that. Another way we are similar is I had my pre assessment appointment to get back into therapy after a year and instead of just anxiety they have now diagnosed me with anxiety/depression. So I am hoping to navigate that as best as I can. We are all always continuously figuring out this game called life.
Just exceptionally powerful. The two of them are so very talented. I think Ren is a generational talent. We are witnessing greatness. A really good reaction video, with some insightful tidbits that others have missed. I love your analysis of modern music, where everybody has the same template, to the point where so many things just sound alike. Ren defies that trend. This is real music and artistry.
Best artist I've seen in my lifetime for sure. Hands down.
I appreciate the kind words. Both of them have a way to invoke emotion that I haven't seen from anyone else.
I lost my friend this way 43 years ago. It still hurts.
Chinchilla's voice and harmonies actually cry.
This song definitely gave me a good cry, for good reason. Their emotions are contagious.
23:00 Hey man, I’ve probably watched hundreds of REN reactions, (because obviously I love REN) I’ve seen all yours, your intellect helps me understand a lot of things I miss in his music… but today was different… you broke me man, I haven’t cried so much for a while, I really felt for you, I wanted to reach out and hug you man, and not in a creepy way, I’m an old guy from Australia who works with chainsaws every day, I just felt your honesty and your vulnerability.
Take care man
Daz
Nothing wrong with a bro hug and I appreciate the love.
Great thing about Ren's music and music in general is that it helps many of us not feel alone in whatever we are going through.
what a great reaction. this is what we ren obssessed humans are hoping for with each reactor
Thanks. I try to bring a unique interpretation of everything I react to.
for me, this song isn't about generally losing someone to death, but the experience of being so shocked & traumatized that we just don't know how to be the person we were before it happened. We're someone so different afterwards that "I forgot how to be me." I had to rebuild a new me. And again.
I lost my faith, too, & that hurts, on top of whatever causes it. I'm sorry you had that experience.
It's for the best to be honest. Some people use religion to get through hard times, others use it for deniability and an excuse to not take responsibility. It can cloud judgement. I feel better off this way.
@@mcflyjp Absolutely agree. However, I miss knowing that I'll see my beloved dead again after life, I miss feeling faith to my core that there's more than this life. This life is more painful if it's all there is.
I think Ren is one of those "gifted" individuals who are able to obtain access to our internalised emotions. I'm a 65 yo man who is nearly brought to tears at all Ren personal performances.
There's an intangible about Ren.
I think his music is so powerful we want to analyze what it's about. And in that analyzing we find how good it is. I think if we actually go back to some of the music we grew up with and reanalyze we'll find we missed a lot.
Chinchilla's Fingers (live) the BEST voice I have ever heard!
It's coming up soon! I'm excited to get into that one!
This is so good. Every time I get chills.
Every. Single. Time.
Surely you mean chinchills right? :P
I was so moved when I listened to this I was in tears. Still moves me to tears. And at the same point you did too. It's so powerful and full of emotion. Just beautiful.
That line is too powerful and the vocal choices are just too good.
Ren pulls it out of ya. That's for certain. We are all just walking each other home.
I like that!
it's not the voice, it's the pain you responded to...
just as the rest of us
Can it be both? Both is good.
@@mcflyjp ofc. but the voice is a tool, while emotion is the power behind it. they just sing the emotion into us. so bloody effortlessly...
I would have to agree with you. It's one thing to sound good singing but I think what differentiates a fantastic singer from a good singer is emotion.
I absolutely love this one! You can see how emotional Ren is with this song. Great reaction again! Also the rawness you got at the end really touched me and I really relate as well!
Thank you for being so vulnerable with us. It’s an honor. 💜
Technically it wasn't by choice haha. But I feel it's important when the music moves you to explain why. Thank you for enjoying.
Your raw emotion is so strong and wonderful. Thank you.
I appreciate that! I have revisited this video many times and it still hits. Me the same.
I love how REN’s music is helping people to open up. Great reaction. Thank You.👍🦇
His music is how he opens up. It's only fair!
Your openness is a testament to what I feel Ren brings out of us all. I have felt it too. I've been inspired to create more than I have ever. I wont go into my background but much of Ren's music is relevant to me on a very deep level.
When we find something that really resonates with us it provides motivation somehow.
As someone who's always been well in touch with his inner self, I've always had my own mental health issues though they've never been incredibly hard. I have and had friends who also struggle with their own mind and I always thought I could relate so well to them through shared experience, even though their stories always seemed heavier than mine. Discovering Ren has been eye-opening to me. His lyricism is so evocative and so full of truth that I now recognize I've never been near the same level of experience as those friends, or as Ren, or you. This song especially hit me square in the chest with it. Such raw pain and vulnerability on display that I now know I've never truly felt.
I've since introduced some of those friends and we've had some deep conversations about how they are and how I perceived their struggles. It brought a lot of emotions up to the surface, some frustrations have finally been vented after years, and just a much, much deeper appreciation for our friendship.
Why do I comment this here instead of on the original video? Because I never would have given Ren's videos the time of day if I hadn't seen you and other reaction channels flock to them en masse. Made me realize there had to be something profound there, and there was.
I sincerely hope you can find a healthy way to let your inner turmoil of your past out. Whether it's through sharing it here on the channel, or more privately with loved ones and/or professionals. You deserve to heal, because you bring positivity. Even the glimpses into it you share already mean the world to so many. It makes them feel seen, heard, felt, validated. To know they're not alone. To know there's hope, and light.
Much love ❤
The emotion was from reliving what happened in my head and hearing exactly how I felt come out in the song. I'm in a decent place now. Ren has gone through much more than a lot of us.
Thank you for sharing you thoughts and feelings it is so brave of you to share, I had similar experiences with my mental health all my life.
Mental health plagues everyone. It is just how we are able to deal with it.
Thank you so much for this honest and heartfelt reaction and for sharing a part of yourself with us. It's amazing how Ren's music makes people open up and be raw and honest. It is so important to get those thoughts and emotions out in the open. It's okay to be vulnerable and to show that you hurt. A lot of us go through so much ish during our lives, but we don't know how to deal with it. It's as if Ren's music brings us hurt people together so we can uplift and comfort each other. We gravitate towards one another because we recognize the pain, and most of us want to try to make others feel better and thereby helping ourselves as well.
I preach empathy and sympathy is something that is less prevalent and we need to get back to being more open to other people's issues.
Thank you for being vulnerable for us in your reaction. It means a lot.
The song resonates with me so much I couldn't help it.
WOW! This song definitely touched my heart and hit me really hard. I can relate to it so much, this is exactly how I feel.. I have lost myself at many points in life and I'm at one of them right today. I don't know how to be me, I have forgot how to be me and I think that a lot of this comes from the "way" that I handle (or not handle for infact) my feelings and thoughts. Instead of dealing with them I just shut them of, bury them and ignore them, put on a big smile and pretend that everything is fine. Rens music somehow seems to help me feel and deal with all this emotion and it feels like I just begin the journey of my healing and dealing. But enough about me...
I really love that your reactions seems to always be so real, raw and human. I truly appriciate that. I think it's so brave of you to open up like this and share your feelings, emotions and issues with us. It's so important that we speak of this and raises the subject to make people see It's okey to feel and have emotions, and that they are not alone with it. Thank you!
I feel all good music evokes some type of repressed emotion. But one of the things I love about Ren's music is how specific but still pretty general it is, if that makes sense.
Thank you for the kind words.
This was a fantastic reaction. Ren is amazing; for more emotional gut punches, try 'Freckled Angles' and 'Dominoes', both by Ren solo. You should also check out the band he used to be in, the Big Push. Their cover medley of "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop" is amazing, as well as their "Wade in the Water/Nina Simone" cover. The you have Ren and Sam Tompkins together, "Walking on the Moon/No Diggity" and "Blind Eyed".
I just found your channel today and am loving it. Great job. :)
I want to go through the entire Freckled Angels album to be honest. And I am going to get into the Busking Big Push stuff real soon. Starting with that I shot The Sheriff medley.
So Artistic!
It’s so hard to watch without expressing some kind of emotion.
Great Job!❤
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it.
This so beautiful , two amazing people. FINGERS LIVE by Chinchilla is just stunning.
It will be soon!
Bro, what is going on with you, and me, is the fact that we are getting some amazing emotional art from these two. I know for me, I cut myself off from highs and lows.. but these two drag it out of me with ease. And I love the. For it.
Definitely finding out about myself with these songs.
A very touching reaction to a beautifully sung heartaching song. When Ren sings "Where is my God, where are you?" you see he is reliving that feeling and pain in that moment and he means it - it breaks me every time
That's what got me. That moment right there.
Thank you so much for your reaction. It was so heartfelt vulnerable and real. It showed its ok to be open. Even when it's painful.
You ate right Ren and Chinchilla are an amazing, amazing duo.
They are an unmatched musical duo. I don't know if I've seen in my lifetime a duo that can get me so emotionally invested in a song.
Interesting to note the name of your channel because Chinchilla was opening act on a McFly tour!
I heard that and its pretty cool to be honest.
I appreciate you letting us into your experience as you share yourself along with this song. Ren has people talking about important stuff in their lives. It is good to let that happen and stop trying to look cool.
Well I definitely didn't look cool in this video. I honestly would rather be true and real than fake for the sake of looking 'cool'
Its definitely the emotions u hear in her voice.. its so captivating and gives me chills but in a good way and then with the words, just come together so powerful. I love this song. Thank you for ur reactions. Aw I want to give u a hug. U really looked like u could use a good one at the moment..
I appreciate that! Just a dude out here trying to talk about music and they got me all in my feels. (That's a good thing).
Such a strong song knowing the background. It just hits so hard
100% emotion fueled songs always seem to hit different.
Fingers live is the obvious choice for next chinchilla reaction, a super great performance of a great song. Thanks for this video.
100% will be coming soon.
The imperfections make this Perfect!!!!
Imperfections are what make everything great and unique.
Do not lament the loss of faith. Embrace the feeling of exposure to free thinking. The world is a much more interesting place when you don’t think all questions have answers readily available. Seek your own answers and build on what we know of the natural world. There’s so much more out there for those who seek rather than rest in what they think to be true.
I feel blessed for realizing that there isn't some other worldly entity that can save you. You have to help yourself.
Great reaction bro! And thank you for being real and sharing your emotion with us! Can't wait for you to do crutch! 👏👌🤌🔥❤️
That one is on the list for sure. And thanks for the kind words as always man!
@McFly JP my pleasure bro 😉👍
Thanks for opening up and sharing your story! You can help people by sharing it all!!
Thanks I appreciate that.
Ive watched reactions to this many times,but watching your reaction touched me i cried with you ,thankyou for your honesty.
That's so nice, thank you!
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. This song gets me every single time 😢
Big hug bro
Thanks Ron!
Ren said Chinchilla is his "musical sibling."
I heard that and it makes so much sens e
I get it and relate on a very deep level with you. I cried when you shared some personal info. You are starting to heal. I support and sennd light and love.❤
Thank you so much! That's so sweet!
Great reaction. I love seeing raw emotion. I find it hard to let out my feelings so it helps me to get in touch with my own emotions to see it.
This channel has helped me do the same. I appreciate the kind words.
Her voice it's just another level. Not much more to tell about Ren, pure genious, but just wanted to keep remarking the beauty and talent in her vocals and overall performance. It's amazing.
100%! I do a deep dive into her vocals on my Fingers reaction. She's a powerhouse. Best singer out there right now.
Such a great reaction!
Thank you so much
We are here for you, you are wonderful
Appreciate you, brother. Good reaction to these two unbelievable talents.
They are my favorite duo right now.
What I love about Ren's music, is seeing reactors realize that modern music is often so over-engineered, which makes it perfect, but sterile. Watching a raw, unpolished performance like Hi-Ren, or this one, is so much more affecting and visceral, as opposed to a sanitized, 'radio-friendly' product.
Think about who that music is catered to and it makes sense but I'd also appalling considering stuff like WAP is catered to kids and Young Teens.
That's a whole other argument though.
@@mcflyjp Maybe, but I would think that music that glorifies violence and misogyny is far more damaging to people than one that seems to be celebrating women's appreciation of their sexuality...though I'm sure that pricks the egos of men who feel threatened by powerful women. The pious pearl-clutching that went on when WAP was released, especially from such heroic male icons as Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson and Matt Gaetz, was beyond parody.
True. And that stuff has been rampant since forever. But Gangster rap in the early 90s ar what my generation and boomers lived through. Maybe that explains a lot.
I agree with you on the women's sexuality part but I also think it should stay preaching WOMENS sexuality. Not little girls.
There has to be a lot of trust between them. It feels like a pas de deux and their voices feel like smoke swirling around one another. I went and bought both of their back catalogues, including the Big Push. Chinchilla is phenomenal; there are a few busking sessions with both of them.
There is so much to go through with both of them. But I am ready for both of their journeys.
You are a real one!!!! Never feel ashamed about that! Much love
🎉
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Loved watching this reaction. This song hurts my stomach with tension and emotion evoked while watching.
That's how music should be though!
Beautiful but tragic😢😢❤
So immensely beautiful.
Chinchilla…. Fingers(live)…a must
Tha will be coming soon.
Ren calls her his sister from another mister she sees him as a big brother they both had the same management company till both went independent at the same time over a year ago. Anything she does is fantastic she supported Sting on his last tour. And her new release went straight to no 1 on American iTunes. Also don't worry about showing emotion I have seen plenty of reactors cry when listening to ren it's just something he can do . He taps into your emotions but it's all part of the healing prosses .look forward to your reactions to chinchila her real name is Daisy by the way xx
Her personality is so cool. Saw her interview with Chris Liepe!
@@mcflyjp Ren is doing a podcast with Justin Hawkins out around the 1st of May I can't wait xx
I've been waiting for it!
Great, heartfelt reaction bro I don't know if you've done REN, Dear God but worth a listen,. Subscribed ❤ from the UK
Check out my Ren playlist. Majority of my content is Ren.
I think Chinchilla is like a sister he calls her his musical sibling.
I mean they go together like bread a butter. But if bread and butter sounded like 2 musical angels.
@@mcflyjp 100%
Enjoying your intelligent, thoughtful and emotional reactions. Subbed, and take care! Chinchilla fingers live as everyone else says!
That one will be up shortly
I love how these feelings are normal to our circumstances. We go through so much & we just stuff them down because we feel shame that we could even have those thoughts. Since I'm not a man I can only imagine how it is for a man but I know how a man wouldn't want to show weakness. It's refreshing how people realize how much we need each other. Specially during those hard times
I grew up in a broken home but my Dad was pretty good about keeping me straight about it being ok to show emotions. Society didn't do us men any favors at all.
Mediant chord changes for dramatic feeling.
100% a great tactic.
"peotic yet succint"
Yup. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Ren is a savant of the highest order when it comes to lyrics. Everything he writes is like a super-extended haiku, where every word needs to be "le mot juste", and in his rap/ hip-hop stuff every syllable has to be exactly right. It's bonkers.
That takes immense care and genius to do what he does;
New sub here, because of Ren, of course, but because of you, too. I didnt subscribed to so many, cause I'm not into that at all. Actually I made my You tube account only to be able to like Ren's song. I'm learning... As long as people are honest, I follow that. Good job, btw!
Thank you very much that means a lot!
A great reaction/break down of the song. Your thoughts and words express and let myself understand so much more of music its blowing my mind thank you so much. Until next time keep dancing in the sunshine cuz you are the blessing of my sunset peace
Thank you very much. Sometimes I am right on and locked in with my analysis. Other times not so much!
👏well done
Thanks. This was a good one.
Thank you for such an open and honest reaction. New sub here. Keep going fella you got this.
Thank you so much that means a lot!
I wrote this on another reaction:
This isn't just a song, it's a hymn. A hymn to grief and loss and pain, but a hymn nonetheless.
Whatever it is, it's a gut punch and the good kind.....I think.
Just wait until you hear her belt in her live performance of Fingers. Holy crap.
I'm sorry you went through such rough times.
❤️💯❤️
Thank you for that. And yes that one has been chosen in the comments. It will be soon
@@mcflyjp little girl gone #chinchilla just dropped today and it is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I will be reacting to that eventually.
A true reaction, thank you.
Came here for the great music left with tears. I wasn't ready even though I should've been.
Pure raw emotions
This song just spoke to me.
If you are not touched by this, you're not human
Or you have severely repressed emotions.
Check out "Ocean" or "Humble" for Ren upbeat or "Losing It" for kicks.
All of these I've been impatiently waiting to hear lol.
Subscribed after listening to this whole reaction. Cheers from Tasmania.
I appreciate that very much! More to come!
Heartfealt reaction Mcfly, the two songs with these two, tap into your soul... they get me everytime... i think Ren's Dear God might resonate... and chinchill's new live verson of Fingers is class 😉👍
That one will be reacted to soon. Thank you for the kind words;
Great reaction, I feel it too. Check out CHINCHILLA Fingers live for Hunger TV it’ll blow you away.
It will be coming soon!
