    It may be petty, or overly critical of me, but I always appreciate when someone mentions Chinchilla's voice instead of her nails when they first hear her. Great reaction, man.

    • @JensRandolff
      @JensRandolff Před rokem +22

      I agree, and I was pleasantly surprised and happy that he didn't say anything. With every reaction to "Chalk Outlines" I watch I immediately start to cringe when the camera pans over to Chinchilla because 99.9% of the time someone makes a comment about her nails without ever acknowledging the raw beauty and talent of her vocals.

    • @iamlpinthe312
      @iamlpinthe312 Před rokem +14

      LIKEWISE. Especially since her voice is really something! And together they have that “ Blood Harmony “- which explains why they refer to each other as like brother and sister.

    To me, the meaning behind chalk outlines is the fact that they feel lifeless on the medications they have to take to get through a normal day. Such an incredibly written song. The live version will always be my favorite ❤️. Thanks for the amazing reaction!

    • @rolmops883
      @rolmops883 Před 11 měsíci +4

      It works both ways: when things get better, you have to leave a chalk outline of yourself behind (being afraid of change, even if it's for the better, which is referenced in the song, too). There's also the "little by little, bit by bit", where you feel like you're nothing more but a husk (an outline of a person), so brittle and washed out, that you may as well be an outline. Little by little, though, you start filling the outline out with colour. Chalk outlines are the past and the future, and what you leave behind of the present

    • @FooDogDat
      @FooDogDat Před 9 měsíci +1

      Yes, he makes reference to it in 'Sick Boi' when she pushes the pills on him and mentions 'you'll feel worse when the side effects will show,' and he mentions 'derealization,' the meds make things unreal, he talks about it in 'Diazepam' which was one of the medications he was given by doctors who misdiagnosed him, and he got a bit addicted, and like he says here 'I hope I'm someone else in the morning.'
      He ended up between the pills and the Lyme infection with hallucinations and thinking if this was his life and he wouldn't live much longer whether it was worth it, you see that in 'Suic*de.'

      Yup, engineers have to align every line into perfect time and also a pinch of autotune if considered off!!!
      These so called flaws in pitch and time actually make a fuller sound and more emphasis with timing.
      Studios can't help themselves.

    Chinchilla is an absolute force of nature. If Ren is all of our brother, Chinchilla is all of our sister. She has some absolutely fantastic solo work you should check out too! She just released a new single as a newly minted independent artist after leaving her label. She writes and produces all her stuff as well. That new single, Little Girl Gone, is an absolute anthem and is going viral now. But also, there is a live performance on CZcams of her song Fingers for HungerTV that is arguably the most incredible live performance I’ve ever seen. Her vocals and emotionality will blow you away!

    • @StephenJacob
      @StephenJacob Před rokem +2

      I came here to say this. "Little Girl Gone" is one heck of a song. She released a lyric video first. The full on music video drops tomorrow.
      Chinchilla's "Fingers" (live version for Hunger TV, as Anna says--the music video is really good, but the live version is superlative) is /magnificent/. So very worth it.
      Ren and Chinchilla singing "How to Be Me", a song by Ren, is hauntingly beautiful (have the tissues ready for this one).
      You should definitely listen to all three of the above. :)

  • @joshuawiedenbeck6944
    @joshuawiedenbeck6944 Před rokem +52

    Even in his slower, more meaningful songs REN manages to sneak in some word play. The line "bury myself with a great big smile" is a double. It means smiling to hide what is actually going in your life, but it also means that the choice of not reaching out for help is literally killing you. You are burying yourself by hiding what is happening.

  • @Av3rageD4D
    @Av3rageD4D Před rokem +135

  • @MissMeKate
    @MissMeKate Před rokem +42

    Hearing the isolated vocals makes me realise they could have done the whole thing without the guitar and it would still have felt musical. Hope someone gave you a hug after this reaction though! Ren cuts deeep.
    They're both such incredible live performers. They have another song together that is equally powerful, How to be Me, which Ren wrote about his best friend whose darkness swallowed him. It's recorded live again. Chinchilla's song Fingers (live for hungerTV version) really showcases what she can do with her voice.

  • @Charyl.w.an.A
    @Charyl.w.an.A Před rokem +71

    Oh man I love your reactions SOOO Much! So… My interpretation of chalk outline is not just about feeling numb but feeling like you’re barely hanging on. That’s why the line, In the gallows, I balanced on my toes, so I can breathe hits so hard because its an easy visual to barely hanging on.

      Great way to describe it. I also feel like it's like there's nothing between the lines, it's negative space. From experience A lot of depression meds will make you feel like you're just a shell and faking a smile. Take one for a while and feel better for a while then up the dose or switch meds. Eventually you don't know who you are anymore, you feel empty. Erase ourselves in these chalk outlines

    When I first heard Hi Ren I never ever dreamt it would lead into the best musical adventure of the past 50 years , Ren is the most interesting and cleverest not to mention nicest performer I have ever seen and including The Big Push I think I have binged the whole lot and enjoyed every one, but this one is SO VERY SPECIAL it truly hits my soul and heart hard and like you the tears always flow. I have to save Chinchilla's Fingers Live is also the most impressive performance for ,many many yrears! Great reaction and thank you for your honesty.

    You'll probably have a harder time with their duet on How To Be Me (live), just fair warning, because of the subject matter and how it shows on their faces.

    Really love the direction your reactions have been taking recently and how raw some of the Ren ones have been...appreciate the vulnerability...Ren is pretty good at pulling that out of people. Also, really love how youve been pulling the isolated tracks out...makes for a very unique analysis amongst the sea of other reactors.

  • @donnakurtz9293
    @donnakurtz9293 Před rokem +21

    Ren and Chinchilla with this song tear me apart. I have watched so many reactions moving to see people discover this song. But I have to tell you that I think your reaction here is my favorite. It matches emotionally to the song. I'm not sure how to say it but your ability to connect and such a real and honest way was this moving as the song itself. You think you reminded me of how many man I've been around that don't have the ability to connect that way with their own emotions much less anyone elses. It can be difficult to be so empathetic at times... That's how I am.... But I would much rather be that way and not. Be you and thank you for sharing your insight. Hearing this the vocal stripped out like that this very interesting. By now you've probably heard it a hundred times but I believe you're on the right track with the chalk outlines meaning. Like a crime scene where they draw a chalk outline around the dead body. When they take the body away the outline is there still for the investigation. The song to me then says they are just an outline of themselves and dead on the inside. Drawing our own chalk antlions. Phew. Powerful stuff. Like I heard someone else say here.... I hope you got to have a big hug from someone after that. That's the process. Thank you for letting us inside as well. No one IRL where I am seems to get it. ❤

    • @dicodec
      @dicodec  Před rokem +9

    • @donnakurtz9293
      @donnakurtz9293 Před rokem +3

      @@dicodec Everyone is so different. Reactors AND their audiences. Nothing will be perfect for all. But I would rather see a reactor err on the side of actually "feeling" the music and experienceing it than just a stoic listen and analysis thing (which there are many). Also, just a lot of folks who want to do this (they think) and don't connect at all. Anyway.... your way of stopping to kind of compose a sec and then at the same time plugging in a clip from after the song where you talk about how that part made you feel and other info of that music/lyric/video segment had been .. then going on with the original seemed a very good way to show the emotional impact yet keep on the path at the same time. Not sure that makes sense but I can tell you I will be back for more AND I have not yet but will check out your original music as well. Know that in the half year I have been watching reactors that will be a first. I haven't intentionally avoided it .. I have just not been sufficiently compelled to until now. Good work sir.

Watching you react to this made me feel all the emotions that I felt the very first time I heard this song. It effected me deeply. I suffer from bipolar and Borderline Personality Disorder and Anxiety. I couldn't take the meds anymore because I felt dead inside.

  • @dowtish1
    @dowtish1 Před rokem +20

    The general idea I believe behind the chalk outline reference: Anti-depressants typically make you feel numb. You don't feel as bad as you did, but you definitely dont feel happier...just numb. The lack of emotion makes you almost feel dead in a way. That is what I take from it.
    Also, just want to say, I really appreciate the way you feel the music. Very real & very honest. Your vulnerability is beautiful.

    I can't stop watching the look on your face when Chinchilla hits that first high powerful "oh my my" at the end -- I'm certain I had that precise facial expression the first time I heard it, immediate tears. I have a feeling a lot of reactors, especially men, edit out any deep emotional reactions, and the fact that you leave them in says so much about you and I'm sure makes many more people besides me connect with the reaction on a much deeper level. You've probably ruined me for other reactions to this song, lol, but I'm grateful for it.

    It's like their voices were made to sing together, and they both sing with their entire beings. Pure magic.
    I really hope you react to Chinchilla's live performance of Fingers. It's astounding.

    Love your isolation of their voices and als your humanity. Yes, How to be Me is even more chilling.
    For another look at CHINCHILLA see her live version of Fingers. You'll be blown away at her vocal control and emotion.

    If you FELT this song wait until you get to the live version of How To Be Me. Chills everytime I hear it. 🔥 Humble ft Eden is such a fun uplifting song. Gotta check out Fingers (love) by Chinchilla also 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    Aww man, feel like giving you a big ol’ hug. All of us are here are like “uhhhh, wait until he gets to How to Be Me…” Feel like I must warn you that How to Be Me (LIVE) is about a friend who went missing in 2010, unclear if it’s filmed on the same bridge. And like people are saying, you must check out Chinny’s Fingers (live) - but maybe before that, her Little Girl Gone dropped last week and it is an ANTHEM!! There’s a lyric video out now, but Sunday she’s releasing a video which, from teasers, is gonna be 🔥. With the lyric video though, you may be able to focus on the sound better - her production skills are amazing - and she’s doing all this now as an independent artist! Love your videos ❤

    Thank you for the open and honest reaction, very moving. Regarding the meaning of "chalk outlines", I didn't really know either; like you, chalk outlines to me are where the dead bodies were. There's a reaction to this song by a neurologist "Neurogal MD" where I think she probably nailed it. She described it as the feeling that side-effects of psychiatric medication create, where "they feel like outlines of human beings" ... "these medications they're on induce this sort of numbness where they feel like they're an empty shell". The white outfits they're wearing (intentionally or not) really resonate with that idea they they're just shells....

    I’ve watched at least a hundred reactions to Ren so far. Rating from the least technical to the most. Yours is the closest to my own reaction - somewhere in the middle. The power, the passion, the sound, the acoustics, the lyrics, the chemistry, the moment…. your reaction is all the stuff I want to say to others when I share it. ❤❤❤❤❤

    Dude. Watching you get emotional listening to this tells me so much about you. It was very emotional watching you listen to this very amazing song. I JUST recently discovered Ren and I can’t get enough. His songs are so beautiful, his voice spot on. And well, I already love Chinchilla, so what a pair. This is the best reaction I’ve seen to a song from anyone in a long time. 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

    His emotion his pain and his willingness to bare his soul saved me. Ren is a once in a lifetime artist. Age, musical taste is non-existent when 8ts Ren. He touches us all no matter what he does. A bard, a poet? Just a musical genius

    We write on the spine of books to reference the information in the books to include dates. I work in the Registrar's office of a university. Now, everything is entered online, not on physical paper.
    That said, Ren and Chinchilla are absolutely brilliant together and I hope they do more colabs in the future. I can't get enough of Ren and his healing music and his entire being, his humanity.

    I’m so happy not to be alone when I hear these songs by Ren and of course Chinchilla.
    Love to you my friend. These lyrics and music and the powerful intertwining of voices is tearing at my very being when I hear them.
    I don’t know why, but will figure out on this journey.

    @BirthingPower Před rokem

    I’ve been taking “chalk outline” to mean “walking dead”
    I also love that line “Walking on my toes so I can breathe”
    Someone mentioned it might be standing with a new surround your neck trying to loosen it up, but I think it’s more like the water (obstacles ? Hardships?) is rising up and he’s drowning, so he standing on the Tip toes

  • @kevinmcnab5670
    @kevinmcnab5670 Před rokem

    I loved this reaction!
    I've seen so many different people react to this. Many/most of them get emotional as it is an emotional song, but you're the first ive saw get emotional about JUST the music with the lyrics not resonating so much, or not being the main focus, i should say. I really like that.
    It's like listening to a beautiful song in a different language. If its done correctly, you dont need the words to get the soul of the song, they just help. 'Now we are free' from Gladiator does the same thing to me.
    Very cool, dude.

    Thank you for this. I mean, I could see your face change a minute in and I knew it was coming. The Brits have an expression "gutted" that we don't often use here in the US. And freaking Ren can do it to us at will. Found your channel via this reaction. New subscriber now. Thanks again.
