    My understanding is that she does not live in those fingernails. Just performs in them....sort of something that helps her with confidence on stage.

      Exactly. She said in an interview She said that her costumes were her armor.

      Just what I was going to comment. She said so in an interview or two.

    I don't think you've been made aware that you don't have to put pauses in Ren videos as Ren supports reactors and doesn't issue copyright claims. Pause if you like, just know it's not something you are required to do.

    Her nails and self-defence rings are her armour she wears when she is Chinchilla. She uses them to battle her nerves by embodying an alter ego. When she is Daisy, she does not wear them.
    Please react to Cut You Off, her new track, I think you both would love it!

    I've always heard this song as a slightly gothic, Edgar Allan Poe-ish poem describing how Ren felt during the time in his life when he was sick, hallucinating, and bedridden, had lost his record deal with Sony ("watched all my riches rust"), and lost Joe, all of which are things that happened in 2010. It was just life giving him rapid-fire kicks in the gut that year. I think it's a nightmarish depiction of Ren at rock bottom - calling out to a God who seems to have forsaken him - and so lost in pain and depression and mourning that he's finally lost his identity or, really, his ability to even feel like a person anymore.

    She only puts the nails on for performance. She is very shy and the nails and hats are like a power suit.

  • @WelshAmethystGirl087
    @WelshAmethystGirl087 Před 9 měsíci +3

    Ye chinchillas outfit and nails is her kind of armour and gives her the confidence to perform on stage as she's quite shy really, chinchilla is like an alter ego where she has no fear and can do anything

  • @piwaka50
    @piwaka50 Před 9 měsíci +7

    This is really another tribute to Ren's childhood friend Joe Hughes, and some could interpret it as being sung from Joe's perspective as he was struggling with his depression prior to his going to that bridge that night. Also I agree with your perspective on radio jocks and who they chose to play. You have to look closely at their programmer and what musical influences they do or don't have.

  • @jontask9997

    I love the way Chinchilla hits the exact note/tone at that silent bit of the song. She does the same in Chalk Outlines. Talent beyond compare. Thank you both and thanks for the great reaction video.

  • @Danandrea919

    I look SO forward to Ash's reactions to Ren... I'm sincerely addicted to Ren an Ren reactions! I simply can't get enough! You BOTH rock, but I'm female, so I may be a bit biased... But I kinda LOVE Ash!! 😊

    Crutch, Dominoes, Dear God, Depression, Insomnia, Freckled Angels, Penitence ,Do you believe ,Hold on
    Are all powerful songs by Ren that you have not reacted to yet.

  • @loganyarborough7783
    @loganyarborough7783 Před 9 měsíci +3

    This gives me chills everytime. I feel like the first verse is from Rens point of view, the second is Joe(Ren mentioned in an interview that they are not even sure he meant to jump and had possibly fallen) and of course the last is from Rens view again. We lost my nephew to a quick decision in the night 3 yrs ago and this song sums it up. I love how Rens music can relate to everyone and is moldable to almost any trauma. It's so personal yet descriptively vague enough to touch all hearts. Much love from TX❤

  • @mldkenny
    @mldkenny Před 9 měsíci +12

    I have seen this hundreds of times and still can't believe how stunning their vocals are together, just brilliant. Great reaction and so pleased you revised.

  • @reactivereplays5666
    @reactivereplays5666 Před 9 měsíci +8

    First 2:38 is about baking, reaction starts after.
    "I don't feel safe in my bed voices in my head talking to the dead. Fear and Sin follow me over the valleys and hills below; back home. It suffocates me...Wish I could get out of this tomb (Joe's own mind)" Ren wrote this from Joe's perspective in my opinion... You get to the end of the song and as Ren does so often he then breaks the 4th wall and speaks to Joe directly, "When he gave up the fight, the decision he made stayed with me for the rest of my life. I miss you so."
    It does fit Ren's story as well and Ren is a wordsmith so it is not 100% clear. I feel though it is from Joe's perspective of mind.
    Have Ashe react to Chinchilla "Fingers" (LIVE)!!!

    Hahaaa I haven’t gotten very far in and am already laughing. Your energy together is infectious… American here and your response to rude candidates explained away by being Americans 😂😂 sadly spot on. Which is why more of us are loving the ren community where we lift up. And now onto the real reason I am here… to see ash respond to this song (you too OB ;) )

  • @moustachiomousmousmoosedem6625
    @moustachiomousmousmoosedem6625 Před 9 měsíci +1

    As others have said, her nails are just part of the Chinchilla persona. Theres a video out there of her being interviewed behind a mixing desk where she is just Daisy. Jeans and a hoody if i remember right. Looks like a completely different person

  • @pabloesco2007
    @pabloesco2007 Před 9 měsíci +1

    For my understand, it's like "How to be me" when someone i love/like who's in my life passed away or die brutaly (like Sui**de). He finish with a personal part for his friend Joe.

    Ren x Chinchilla One Dance / Drunk in Love and Sexual Healing - both are Chinchilla's first ever time busking with Ren, and they are amazing! Also Chinchilla's new single, Cut You Off is absolute fire, a guaranteed love from the both of you.

    Those who mourn forget how to be themselves without the dearly departed once you've been a spouse, a father, a mother, a brother, sister... what are you without that spouse, that sibling that child? You forget how to be yourself. This is about those who are haunted and lost in the mourning of the dearly departed.

    Since you ask for suggestions, I'll bring up
    Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down - The Source (2017)
    again.
    No spoilers besides that it's a longer one and it has background infos in the form of text pop-ups from the composer/producer himself.
    And you might know a singer or two, depending how well versed you are in the Prog/Symphonic Metal scene.

  • @hazmania
    @hazmania Před 9 měsíci

    Chinchilla puts her nails on as “costume” when she performs, they’re her “mask”, she becomes Chinchilla the performer when she wears them. I don’t think anyone would relish wiping their a*se with nails like that, then again it’s a trivial thing to focus on when looking at such an amazing performance.

    The nails are not real, she only puts them on when performing. And yes, some parts of this song can be seen from Joe's perspective.

    If you’re independent, no one has a piece of you. And if they can’t exploit you, extract money from your music from your labor into their pockets, not only are they unwilling to play your music, they’ll go out of their way to suppress it. Thats why Ren isn’t getting any airplay

    I have tried with a few reactors, maybe Dave & Ash can help... Please react to Tom Waits' official music video "Hell Broke Luce". It's an awesome video. I love the guy, AND he's an absolute legend. He's been making music since the early 70's, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a few years ago by Neil Young, he's been in a ton of movies, and he's just an all around fascinating person... But he gets no love from reactors. It's a travesty.

    Enjoyed your reaction! Great observations at the end, but you two don’t seem to grasp one important thing… Ren is an independent artist. The radio stations are corporate-owned. Independent artists undermine the “industry”. Even if a DJ loves Ren’s music, he won’t (can’t) play it. It’s a shame. There needs to be a viable alternative…
