You think you know how good Chinchilla is, Then you watch "Fingers" live, & realize she's a level above your expectations
Absolute yes to this. I can’t wait for his reaction to that performance
100 friggin' percent!
100% this! Joe E please please listen, you are not ready for "Fingers live for hunger tv" - you will lose your ish!
Its diva level. A masterpiece.
Check it Joe - you’ll be pausing and rewinding for fun 😀
He's talking about his friend, Joe, who took his own life. It's gut wrenching and beautiful. I just love your reactions. You can rewind and pause all you want!!!
Joe Hughes, who jumped from the Menai Bridge in Wales in December 2010.
Ren was the first person on site, only 5 minutes to late. The last part of his latest released song, Suicide, is about his feelings about that day. The song Freckled Angels (and the album with the same name) is also dedicated to Joe.
@@ancltube they are performing on that bridge in this song
@@jimmyhughes5392 No they are not! (This myth really need to die.)
The Menai Bridge does not look like that and does not have that view. Google it..
This is most likely performed on a balcony/rooftop in Brighton.
@@ancltube I would like to know the answer to this myself. I 100% agree that if this is untrue it should not continue to be spread around. I did hear something like this but it could easily be untrue. Do you think the balcony you mentioned is looking in that direction?
@@ASilentPantherNo, I don't think they are even in the same part of the UK. The whole idea of them singing on "the bridge" is wrong. Please google for some pictures of the Menai Bridge and the area around it and see for yourself.
The song is fantastic as is, performed very emotionally by two great artists. There is no need to add anything else to it.
This whole song is beautiful and heart-breaking but Ren's "Where is my God, where are You?" line while looking up at the sky just breaks me every time. They're so good...ugh...
He sounds SO GOOD in that part too
I think that's the closest we'll ever get to hearest his true, natural voive. He's so talented to do all these amazing things with it, but this is just so raw, so emotional... It's actually my favorite of his voices.
Ooooooo!!! That parts gives me goosebumps and I cry every damn time!
Indeed. I hear the whole Hallelujah section as a disassembly of the Leonard Cohen song
The best musical “siblings”. Ren has described how it was like finding the female version of himself when it comes to the approach or relationship with music. And you can see it. They have complete trust in each other when performing and both pour so much into it.
Love them together, just something else ❤ I'm hoping they'll be doing something together again in the not too distant future 😊😊
Dude I love you. Keep being you! Keep running it back! This song made a videographer close his eyes! Lol! Also love learning about the technicalities behind the camera! Thank you for sharing your expertise! ❤
You are alowed to stop and run it back again and again. We love this song so much! And we love you Joe ❤
Helena, thank u I appreciate it🙏🏽
Their voices blend so well. It’s gorgeous ❤ Ren refers to Chinchilla as his “musical sibling.”
He also refers to her as “Daisy” and for some reason I love her even more knowing that’s her real name.
Joe, as a fellow empath, I have learned to stop hiding it from the world as I have become more comfortable keeping my boundaries solid so I don't lose myself in someone else's feels. It is a blessing more than a curse and you need not apologize for it.
Preach!
This hits me hard. Thank you. ❤
Same. I agree with you💕I also believe that’s what so different about Ren.. I can feel his energy and hers…
The chemistry between them is the stuff casting directors dream of, it’s that gold dust magic stuff ❤
at this point I truly believe Ren is the most talented well rounded musician I've ever heard
They have such a terrifyingly dark melodic harmony together that it just draws you into the abyss of their voices. It's absolutely beautiful.
This song hits me like a punch to the gut that knocks the wind out of me. My brother died just over 4 years ago. We were siblings and best friends who hung out everyday together. We’d play games together, share music, binge watch shows and laugh together the entire time. I’ve forgotten how to be me ever since he passed.
Amazing thing is, Ren is holding Chinchilla back, her range and singing talent is so huge, Fingers live before the pegasus gets there.
He hasn't seen it yet? Hmmm, I want to react to this one right now...but the way everyone speaks about it makes me worries once I have seen it, nothing else will match up🤷🏾
Also BP has no it seen this - you cud ask him to react to it on your channel!!!
Even a non-empath "feels" what they hear from many Ren songs. He broadcasts feels, as needed.
Another highly emotional one is “Crutch” that Ren did with Bibi, his girlfriend at the time. It’s absolutely stunning … both the song and the video. The way it is filmed is incredible. It’s one of his older ones, but one of my favorites. It was when he was really struggling with his health and didn’t know it was Lyme Disease.
But if you need a fun one … react to “Power” … it’s fire 🔥 It’s my go-to when I need to lift my spirits. And you get to see Sam vibing with Ren 😼
Yes POWER! that and Humble ft Eden Nash are a total vibe. Auntomatically puts me in such a great mood 👌
@@Jadedxx ahhh yes, Humble with Eden Nash is a total vibe! Love that one ❤️
My favorite antidote to "Crutch", "Depression" or "Suicide" is "Ready For You" -- picks me right back up.
Yeah, Its def in my top 3.. the video just as much as the song... But this is to be expected by now w ren..
I love how your emotion pours out of your whole body. I’ve watched this countless times and always cry, especially when those Hallelujahs start. You’re right, they have been blessed with a gift, and aren’t we lucky that they’re sharing it with us. ❤
They are on the same bridge that Ren's childhood friend, Joe Hughes, took his life. I always think about how much it must have taken for Ren to perform from the place holding such emotional torture. Beautiful song, and I always enjoy your take. You're going to get to that 10k in no time. Keep doing what you do.
No, they are not!! Please Google Menai bridge.
This one makes me cry everytime...the passion and the sorrow both bleed through so well that it can't help but touch the heart.
Another very enjoyable reaction. Regarding "How to Be Me," Ren's best friend, Joe Hughes, committed suicide on the 27th of December, 2010 by jumping off the Menai Bridge, a large suspension bridge connecting the mainland to the Isle of Anglesey where Ren and Joe lived. Ren alluded to it in one of his songs, stating that he lost his best friend before he was 25. The pain of this loss is evident in a few of his songs. "How to Be Me," "Freckled Angels" and his latest release, "Suic*de" are specifically dedicated to Joe. Some people have claimed that the video was shot at the bridge that Ren's friend jumped from, however, that is misinformation according to some Brighton residents.
Ren recently posted some background on his relationship with Joe and the tragic suicide. Ren explained that he got a call from his friend Ella around 3 am saying that Joe was the Menai Bridge, He’d been on the phone with her in tears saying goodbye. He told her to tell everyone he loved them. Ren went out on foot attempting to get to Joe while trying to reach him on the phone. Just minutes before Ren got to the bridge, his friend's cell phone went out of service. The Coast Guard started a search to no avail. Ren, friends, and volunteers unsuccessfully searched the shoreline for ten days; Joe’s body was never recovered.
Ren’s and Chinchilla’s live performance of "Chalk Outlines" is still my favorite song, partly because I can relate to it more given my daily struggles. Although, losing one’s best friend to suicide is also something I experienced when I was 19 y/o (almost 38 years ago). “How to Be Me” definitely runs a close second, though. I would recommend you check out their busking sessions in Brighton, performing “Sexual Healing” (Marvin Gaye cover) and “One Dance / Drunk In Love” (Drake/Beyoncé cover); those performances are of a much lighter mood and very enjoyable.
I hope you will continue to dive into Ren's and Chinchilla's catalogs.
This song is so piercingly beautiful and the melodies haunt me. The imagery of our selves/lives being a tomb, where bodies in the floor breathing keep us trapped in the past and our fears is so profound. A masterpiece.
The power of Ren. He made me a fan of Black Pegasus and now you. Love your genuine reaction.
Easily the best duet ive heard. There is singing together and then there is SINGING together.
Her songs element (dynamic) and fingers live (absolute top tier vocals) will do it for you too.
Their busking sessions are also obviously amazing.
This is a dedication to his best friend that took his life. Suicide is also a dedication along with the song Freckled Angels. I love this song and their ability to bring so much emotion into it. In the first verse you can see Ren looking up as he begins to sing. Showing you where his thoughts are with this song. Thank you for doing this great reaction.
We're lovin being part of the "pause gang" and "take it back gang" 😊 when you have these absolute beauties making your heart burst, it would be rude not to, surely? 😂 much love to you and of course to all here 😊❤
Ren has a way to pick the Perfect Female voice to work with his... per song... whatever!
Ren and Eden, Ren and Chinchilla, Ren and Bibi... each is more perfect than the other... in my opinion!
Rens like a beacon for seriously talented people. I don't know how he finds these guys and girls, but I'm so glad he does!
Yep!
Don't forget Molly on penitence!
@@cas9065 I think Penitence is my new favorite
And don't forget Liv Sanger, ahhh! Idk if that's right, it might be Sangster? Or Liz? Now I'm doubting myself..
She's awesome! They are awesome together!
They have some busking videos that you can tell are improv but are so freaking beautiful!
She has this gorgeous alto voice and they are just exquisite together-
Their perfect harmonies take all the nerve endings in your body and lights them on FIRE!!!! 🔥❤️
I’ve heard this a million times now and I still get the chills.
I'm an empath too and I just started my Ren journey this week. I feel like every new song I hear heals something inside of me, and seeing your reactions just confirms that it's doing that for a lot of people. I can't wait to continue watching you explore and grow!
Ooooh just this week. Wonderful! Have fun ❤
Me too ❤
Omg! One of my favorites! But then again... Ren and Chinchilla do not have any bad songs!!!❤❤
You have such a pure heart. It's not enough to get yr insights as a videographer....your true joy in the music is just magical to watch.
This song could apply to many different situations for all types of people in life, however for Ren it expresses the aftermath of losing his friend to suicide.
It also has a duality to it where it could represent the thoughts of both the person who is in the thick of contemplating ending it and the person who endures the aftermath and what it does to your soul. But the haunting way they sang it feels like a desperate wailing to me. Grief is something we all can understand. Another empath fist bump, 🤜🏻✨ great reaction!
If you want fun, consider Losing it by Ren or the official video of “Little Girl Gone” by Chinchilla!!
Couldn't have said it better myself!
So true! This song first moved me to tears listening to it in thought of my Mother. She has dementia, an awful way to go through the end of your life as your memories are taken from you little by little.
Great comment. Love that. You should start your own reaction channel. I’ve watched that video over a dozen times, but it’s never made more sense than it does now. Especially the “desperate wailing” comment. Thank you ✌🏻🏴
OMG the desperate wailing is spot on man👌🏽💯
If you listen to the studio version, some of the vocals in this live performance are to mimic the cellos. Much of the wailing is still in there, but more polished. I love both versions.
I didn't see it until it was pointed out, but Ren has tears on his face at the end..
Amazing performance. That second "oooh I can't breathe" really rips in to me.
Wonderful reaction, I really appreciate your passion for music. :)
Actually that is the bridge.
It isn't
No it is not.
Being an empath is not easy. At my age it's getting tiring and I've actually had to take a step back from music before because of the effect it has on the heart. Just make sure to lighten up the dark stuff in between. I absolutely love REN and Chinchilla together. It's like they are pulling the emotion from each other. Beautiful to watch and listen to. ✌❤😎
This was a wonderful reaction
I totally agree, run it back as many times as you like.
It's through appreciation.
Do not try ro hide your feelings. It won't work.
Besides, that is what Ren does. He make you think AND feel.
Btw, not only 5k.
I see you are at 6.4k.
Just mileposts along the path to greater things.
Have a stellar day.
The last line is about his friend Joe. It's the same friend he was refrencing in his song Suicide. I have enjoyed your "empathic" responses, it makes me smile. You move your body to the way the rest of us are feeling. I would suggest you check out Ren and Chinchilla busking together. It's a fun vidoe of them having fun playing together. Much love. Appreciate the good work.
Some of the busking sessions with REN and Chinchilla are fire. One Dance/Drunk in love, and Sexual Healing. Their chemistry is unreal!
Glad you got to this one. It holds a lot of weight for me. This video and song stopped me from committing suicide.
About 3 weeks ago I was really in a bad spot. I had finally gotten the diagnosis and conformation that I'd suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury and had permanent brain damage. I'm on disability from work and don't know if I'll ever be able to go back to my old job. I'm still in a lot of physical pain from the compression fracture in my back. I'd really been fighting insomnia and hadn't slept at all in almost 40 hours. I was in such a dark place in didn't think I'd ever be able to find the light again. I just didn't want to keep going. I thought about my "future" and what going through life with brain damage was going to look like. I was so tired and in so much pain I just wanted it all to stop. I keep justifying why it was ok to just give up. I finally made the decision to end it all and kill myself. I sat down and decided to listen to some music one last time. This video popped up and I started watching it and got completely lost in it. When Ren sang that last verse I remembered the story of Joe's Death and it hit me so hard. I started thinking about my parents, my sister, and my friends. I pictured their reactions when they got the news. I wept tears of sorrow, anger, and hopelessness that night. I realized I couldn't do that to them.
I'm still here, not by my choice or desire. I wish that accident had killed me instead of just handicapping me. I've shared this story on other reactions and some people were moved by it. I am trying to change my attitude about life. Its really hard to see anything positive coming to or from my life, but I'm told not to think about the "distant" future, but to focus on taking it one Day at a time.
I’m so sorry, man. Hang on. I hope things get better for you soon. Glad you’re still here.
I wish you well. I'm really glad you've found a little bit of light through Ren. Not just his music and talent, but as a person dealing with brain damage, ME/CFS, MCAS, Lyme disease, and other mental health issues, he's truly an inspiration. Since discovering Ren, I've actually quoted verses to my doctors to help explain or jump start conversations about what's going on with me and how I feel. I remind myself that chronic insomnia can really distort my perceptions and outlook, and keep in mind not to make any decisions when I haven't slept. Take time to adjust to your new reality, as possibilities don't emerge overnight or even months. It took Ren years to find healing options. I try to take hope from that. I hope you feel better. Your story isn't over.
@@VideosbyLisaLisa I appreciate you taking time to both read and respond to my comment. Right now I have very little choice but to wait and see. I've established in my own mind not to force my pain onto anyone else. It's my burden to carry. Responses like yours prove, by way of example, to me that not everyone has given up the hope for a "good" future. Thank you for the kind words and best of luck to you!
The part that impressed me is when she had to stop the “round” to sing Suff-o-cates me. Great reaction! Love watching you feel the music!!❤
This is favorite song of theirs. Both of theirs. I cry every time I hear it. ❤❤❤ I feel every single word.
Dude, no need to apologize for rewinding or pausing often.
I enjoy watching your reaction videos, your emotion, your respect and your adoration of all the talents happening on these vids.
I discovered you from Black Pegasus and yes, I enjoy those videos as well. But you’re on a different level, for me that is.
Too kind 🙏🏽
Yessssssss, this is my favorite duet of theirs!
Can't wait to see your reaction to Chinchilla "Fingers" live version. Has to be the live! It will blow your mind
Joe you are a precious soul to us thank you for experiencing this with us, i csnt help but crying like a fricken baby everytime with this song. Stay fantastic joe xoxo
Now you can get Black Pegasus to react to this cos he still hasn’t seen it!!!😁👍❤️
😳
@@laurabrevitz3944 that was 7 months ago - he’s seen it now! 😁👍
What a GIFT to feel things so strongly. Your connection with your emotions & the ability to express that sets you apart. Thank you for letter us watch with you ❤
This is hands down THE BEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL duet I've ever heard. Period. They're both amazing, and it's squared when they're together. I also still get chills and cry when I listen/watch this, and I've seen it over a hundred times. It's about his friend Joe, who removed himself from this world by jumping off a bridge. We're here with you.
Oh and if you click on the back arrow, it takes the video back 5 seconds! Always go back a bit when you pause you don't miss anything. Loving your reactions! I truly believe that REN is changing the world, and redefining masculinity through empathy and vulnerability. You're contributing to this change as well.
2:38 dont worry you’ll figure it all out. Its takes some time to get there and its easier for some than others but you’re on your way to being one of the greats. I can feel it. I mean you already are so descriptive in your analysis of the camera work and lighting and its very informative which tons of people love to see. You got this💪🏻
This was actually filmed on the Menai Bridge, which is the same one that his friend Joe jumped from. That adds a whole other layer to it. It’s not just the performance, but the location. You can almost feel the spirit of Joe pouring out of both of them. Such an amazing performance. Even after so many listens, it’s still just as beautiful.
This is not true. It was filmed on a rooftop balcony in Brighton. Please help us stop the spread of this myth.
Thank you for confirming that for me 🙂 wayyyyy to much misinformation out there
Ren had a good friend and he decided to jump off the bridge one night and Ren was called to try and stop him. He ran as fast as he could but he was too late. RIP Joe.
It's a joy to see you feeling it, don't ever change. Your insights into the videography are also much appreciated. Thank you
Chinchilla is amazing, Ren is so good at knowing what to do with his vocals to get the best out of the other person and the song xx
I love your energy, Joe! I'm an Empath also, so I especially appreciate your emotions and your music/production insights! 💙 You've got a fan for life!
Beautiful reaction, thank you! There is just something about Chinchilla that makes you always root for her, even if you don't know her, amirite? Her and Ren are two of the most authentic artists and pure souls I've ever come across. If you are interested, and you are, Chris Liepe recently did a fantastic long-form interview with Chinchilla. Here: czcams.com/video/_Jt9ohkYjFs/video.html
Joe E.! This song is about Joe, just like Suicide. And it was filmed on a bridge - for a reason. Love, mate
Ren is talking about his close friend that ended his life. His new song $uicide addresses it as well.
Ypu simply Must Do the following to get a taste of Ren with other Great Female duos!!!
Ren and Eden... Ocean and Humble
Ren and Bibi... Crutch!!!
The eye contact kills me!!!!!!!!
I'm sure I'm not the only person who appreciates your explanations of the technical elements of the filming - learn something new every time.
Ren wrote this song about his friend Joe that jumped off the bridge and they never found his body
Now that you know its about his boy Joe taking his life, you have to go back listen to it again, just by yourself. It'll hit different..❤
Little Girl Gone for a bit of sass from Chinchilla...then Fingers (Live) is a must
You are a very dear man with a colossal heart ☮
Chalk outlines is amazing. This one, is just next level.
Your reactions are so animated and genuine! I love it so much! You can tell how music truly moves you. Music is life!! CRUTCH IS A MUST WATCH THE MOST UNDERRATED SONG OF RENS. 🎵 ❤
I've been eyeing CRUTCH for a while now, I think I need to check it out!
You don’t “hide” your empathetic ability very well at all 😊. The music takes possession of your soul. Beautiful to watch 🙏❤️🙏
I don't even try to hide them anymore lol
I love watching your facial expressions as you take in everything. It's so open and honest and joyful. As others have said, PLEASE dive into Chinchilla, starting with her live version of Fingers. She's phenomenal and her connection with Ren is tangible. Her vocal control is astounding. I can't wait for her to have her moment. It's coming.
PLEASE don’t ever stop letting your heart feel 🫶🏻
Ren and Chinchilla have a gift and their present is their musical gift to us. ❤
Thanks, Joe for a wonderful emotional reaction. ❤
Keep being you.
Ur welcome 🙏🏽
Its so heartwarming to know real music is still being made.
Thanks for another great one Joe E! I love how you feel the music. It reminded me of the first time watching this, and how much it blew me away! Can’t wait to see what you got next my friend, much love and hope you have a great day!
Great reaction😊I think we are all witnessing something really mega this is what the music business needs.Someone who speaks the truth and the talent is phenomenal ❤️❤️
This reaction was everything i hoped it would be. I literally can't breathe listening to the last half of this song.
Great reaction .Yeah, I second the previous comment. Chinchilla's 'Fingers' Live for Hunger T.V is a must see. I also want to say both these artists make you feel.
He's talking about his friend, Joe.
He got a call late at night, and still does not know if Joe actually jumped or slipped because the weather was bad.
They both have a "dedicated to the moment rawness". It's like that moment is what they're living in, and living for.
I would love it if Ren released a duets album...... All performed live acoustic
Darling Joe, you are my new gem. Thank you xxx
You have to listen to Chinchillas “Fingers - live” her voice is phenomenal
Fingers- Chinchilla live next please
please take some time and get into chinchillas music catalog. you will not be disappointed
A bit lighter but some laughs and some feels. Bo Burnham the Kanye rant.
He writes, produces, stage runs, everything since he was 16 on CZcams.
He quit performing after this brilliant show because of panic attacks and decided to come back after he spent 5 years in therapy and getting healed.
He unfortunately got to this point in January 2020... So covid.
He stopped shaving and hair cuts, produced fully alone for a year culminating in the show INSIDE.
Thank you covid for this work of art and heart 😊
Shaving your smiles and feels, as well as your behind the scenes insight ❤😊
You would probably love “Crutch”, video is phenomenal and Ren never disappoints!
You have a great eye (given!).....and an attuned ear.......but your heart is for REAL. Bless you stranger from across the Pond. ♥️💯✨
How did this song not win a Grammy? Seriously it's phenomenally good. Loved your reaction, seeing you get emotionally invested in the song is the reason to watch
Chinchilla Fingers (live) needs to be on your list.
Amazing reaction. Please never apologize for letting your emotions to show ❤
Awe..I’m like you, psychic empath..we take everything to heart. Ren released “Freckled Angels” over 12 years ago dedicated to his best friend Joe who jumped off a bridge. He talks in depth about the event in an interview with KnoxHill.. (girl, breakup, bridge) then he just released “Suis*de two weeks ago. Again dedicated to Joe Hughes. Ren is carrying a tremendous amount of guilt for not getting to the bridge fast enough to save Joe.
Fingers live for hunger T.V.is so far the best proformance she has recorded ,her mastery over this song has to be seen to be believed .Chinchilla is a musical wonder of the world, in in girl form .
They make you feel like you're watching them fall in love for the first time
It's Joe bub. He's talking about Joe. I read an article that said he got there 5 minutes too late. How we know that, at this point it's not ours to judge. But it is apparently, how Ren experienced, continues to experience, the night.
You best get ready for Rens latest one , you will feel it through every pore😢. Great reaction, keep them coming ❤👍🏻
Definitely check out Chinchilla's solo work if you want to really see her go off. Fingers Live for HungerTV is amazing and Little Girl Gone is her most recent track she released after going fully independent.
Fingers live is amazing and I’m sure you will love it
Yes, this one hits me hard!
I love how much these songs affect you. Don't hide that. It's beautiful.
When ever he sings that final line, "I miss you so." I always sing it as "I miss you, Joe." I kinda can't help it knowing that line is there about his friend Joe.
I think one of the beautiful things about Ren is his ability to put his ego aside and to let the artists that he performs with shine. This is evident obviously with Chinchilla but also Sam and the other members of The Big Push. ❤
Ren’s childhood best friend Joe Hughes committed suicide, it’s what his Freckled Angels album was about, it’s who this songs grief is about and it’s who he’s talking about at the end of his latest song Suicide.
Crutch with Bibi it’s one of RENs oldest and sooooooo good ❣️❣️❣️❣️
The director in you will LOVE the video in crutch 🎉
This is amazing, they’re singing on the bridge where REN’s friend took his life… know that and listen again 🖤
Weird it said no view 3 day's ago? I clicked on this one so fast How can that be?
