You think you know how good Chinchilla is, Then you watch "Fingers" live, & realize she's a level above your expectations

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!!!

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...

You are alowed to stop and run it back again and again. We love this song so much! And we love you Joe ❤

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.

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.

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.

Their voices blend so well. It’s gorgeous ❤ Ren refers to Chinchilla as his “musical sibling.”

at this point I truly believe Ren is the most talented well rounded musician I've ever heard

The chemistry between them is the stuff casting directors dream of, it’s that gold dust magic stuff ❤

They have such a terrifyingly dark melodic harmony together that it just draws you into the abyss of their voices. It's absolutely beautiful.

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 😼

Amazing thing is, Ren is holding Chinchilla back, her range and singing talent is so huge, Fingers live before the pegasus gets there.

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.

Even a non-empath "feels" what they hear from many Ren songs. He broadcasts feels, as needed.

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.

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. ❤

The power of Ren. He made me a fan of Black Pegasus and now you. Love your genuine 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 😊❤

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!!

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.

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.

I’ve heard this a million times now and I still get the chills.

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.

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!

Omg! One of my favorites! But then again... Ren and Chinchilla do not have any bad songs!!!❤❤

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. ✌❤😎

Some of the busking sessions with REN and Chinchilla are fire. One Dance/Drunk in love, and Sexual Healing. Their chemistry is unreal!

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. :)

Their perfect harmonies take all the nerve endings in your body and lights them on FIRE!!!! 🔥❤️

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Yessssssss, this is my favorite duet of theirs!

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.

Can't wait to see your reaction to Chinchilla "Fingers" live version. Has to be the live! It will blow your mind

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.

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.

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve watched this video. Chinchilla is giving emotion but so is Ren, you can feel the raw emotion & chemistry just pull you in close as a listener. It is SO intimate!! I had heard that this song was a tribute to Ren’s friend who he lost to suicide. As a person with chronic illness though I can also relate to forgetting or losing yourself in your chronic illness bc you don’t get to be who you felt you were meant to be- you’re literally housebound, bed bound- you can’t get up & walk out of the tomb. As a visual artist I can make art from my bed or couch. I think the beauty of a song like this is that almost anyone can relate to it regardless of what the intention of the songwriter was. We’ve all forgotten how to be ourselves at one point or another. But man!! I love watching your reactions bc I can see the emotion hit your eyes- and they soften & it’s beautiful to watch. ❤

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 ❤

The eye contact kills me!!!!!!!!

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💪🏻

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..❤

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

Joe E.! This song is about Joe, just like Suicide. And it was filmed on a bridge - for a reason. Love, mate

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.

It's a joy to see you feeling it, don't ever change. Your insights into the videography are also much appreciated. Thank you

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.

PLEASE don’t ever stop letting your heart feel 🫶🏻

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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbCkbNKZ0L_Odqc.html

Its so heartwarming to know real music is still being made.

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!

They both have a "dedicated to the moment rawness". It's like that moment is what they're living in, and living for.

You are a very dear man with a colossal heart ☮

Chalk outlines is amazing. This one, is just next level.

This reaction was everything i hoped it would be. I literally can't breathe listening to the last half of this song.

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. ❤

They make you feel like you're watching them fall in love for the first time

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

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.

This is amazing, they’re singing on the bridge where REN’s friend took his life… know that and listen again 🖤

You don’t “hide” your empathetic ability very well at all 😊. The music takes possession of your soul. Beautiful to watch 🙏❤️🙏

Ren wrote this song about his friend Joe that jumped off the bridge and they never found his body

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.

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.

Now you can get Black Pegasus to react to this cos he still hasn’t seen it!!!😁👍❤️

Yes, this one hits me hard!

A truly great reactor who’s mannerisms, charisma and analysis captivate is a pretty rare thing, but one who also FEELS the content they’re viewing is absolute gold dust. Joe E gang.

Darling Joe, you are my new gem. Thank you xxx

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.

This one hits me because at 45 I feel like I'm now just coming back to me. I've had years of being lost. I feel like I've been asleep for the last 10 years and art and music is finally helping me remember who I am.

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 .

You have to listen to Chinchillas “Fingers - live” her voice is phenomenal

I love how much these songs affect you. Don't hide that. It's beautiful.

I was crying right with you when u said “Oh u gon hit ‘em with the round robin” and I busted out laughing. A good belly laugh too. Thank you for that, love your personality & insight!❤

much love to you Joe - am so happy to be in your gang! ☺️🎶🫶 from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ✌️

Amazing reaction. Please never apologize for letting your emotions to show ❤

He's talking about Joe, his best mate who jumped from a bridge when Ren and Joe were 19 years old. I loved your reaction. Ren's music is so special because he's unafraid to face the worst of his life and created beauty from the muck and mire and loss of this world. Your honest emotion echoes in my heart 💜

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.

You would probably love “Crutch”, video is phenomenal and Ren never disappoints!

I would love it if Ren released a duets album...... All performed live acoustic

2E’s, no Y - hey Joe, good to see you reacting to this song, it’s probably my favourite of their studio collabs (the busking performance of One Dance/Drunk in Love is my absolute favourite of the two of them together). In this song, and especially the ending, Ren is talking about his friend Joe who took his own life by jumping from a famous bridge where they lived in Wales. Joe’s body was never found and the whole thing has affected Ren deeply ever since. This is the same friend that Freckled Angles and Suic*de are about. It’s a very sad story and Joe sounds like an amazing guy. His passing though has gifted us all with some truly beautiful music from Ren’s heart. Great video, great reaction - you certainly have a unique perspective that you bring to the scene. Keep up the great work, much love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

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!

Ren is talking about his close friend that ended his life. His new song $uicide addresses it as well.

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.

I'm only halfway through this video and you've already earned yourself another subscriber. A lot of people think that a "reaction video" means just commenting... people watch reaction videos not for commentary and breakdown they want to see your authentic emotional reaction to something that they consider special. And you my guy understand that which puts you so far ahead also I love the fact that you were talking about hitting 5000 Subs and by the time I watch this video and found you you have 10 times that🎉

Another "reaction" full of emotion. I can still listen to Opera and feel it. These two damn near kill me sometimes.

That rising feeling in your chest like its your heart expanding up to a lump in your throat is such a sweet ache. Hairs on your arm floating above your skin as your mind takes flight. Its a rollercoaster of emotion ❤

RIP Joe Hughes. I love watching you feel every note. 🖤🖤🖤

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 ❤️❤️

Also I can't wait to watch Tom Macdonald with you too. Tom's girl Nova film's his tracks❤️

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.

This is one of the maybe ten reactions out of literally thousands I keep coming back to. Thank you for letting us in. 🖤
