"Polished Rawness" that could be used to describe a lot of Ren's work. Nice reaction!

Fantastic reaction. It's easy to get caught up in Chinchilla's impressive vocals and miss all the intricacies of the interplay between them both. It's less a push & pull dynamic and more of a dance, each stepping up into the space the other's making for them, then pulling back to pass that space back. Combined with the brittleness, it's like watching them dance on a tightrope. Absolutely fascinating to watch, and I enjoyed your attention to the small adjustments they keep making, as well as your sensitive accompaniment.

Hope Ren sees this.

This song is about Rens friend who took his own life like Ren siad I miss you so😢

This is my favorite song by Ren. I can't believe I've never checked out Chinchilla until seeing her collabs with Ren. I knew she was an up-and-coming UK singer, and she'd toured with Sting, but I didn't know how remarkable she was. I think this live performance and the lyrics of her song "Fingers" are stunning. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbFlabaosqzelJc.html

Mental illness and drug addiction go hand in hand. My husband and I lost a daughter to both at age 38. Her heart no longer would allow it. That was 8 years ago, last week. I am 65 years old but feel so much heart and emotion to REN'S music. He is a musical GINIUS, no doubt. I listen to him all day and try to get others I care about to listen. I think he can help a lot with his spoken word style and his songs. He is a master of the human condition, but unable to reach enough people just yet. His time in now. And I love that people do listen. He needs to listen to his small still voice and we will hear from him, God willing, for yea4s to come. REN...do the least amount of drug possible. The right Dr will fix you. We all have our demons. Don't believe what the lies say. You know what to do. I watch you do it flawlessly. Your music is perfect just as it is. Don't let the money and voices change you. You are one of the greats ! Hang on to that.

I don't imagine Ren will be touring until he finishes his treatments in Canada for his illness. At least 6 months or longer. He is releasing a new song, Illest of Our Time on Friday the 29th ( his birthday)

When asked about her nails in an interview, she said they make her feel powerful....Then, she should absolutely have them.

Thank you for this reaction video....Absolutely fantastic job done. What a great song! This song and Chalk Outlines have brought a tear to my eye. Such passion in the performance.... Loved it. I would really love to see you work your magic on Sam Ryder's song - Tiny Riot - (live acoustic) on youtube. Thanks.

My brother, Ren's music is best listened to on headphones. You will hear SO much more, especially in the produced songs like Animal Flow or Illest of Our Time. It's well worth it, mate!

Both absolutely amazing in thier own right, yet together magic happens

Amazing !!!!! Another great Reaction Vid. Love what you did with the Piano at end and yesssssss cover would be awesome .. do it. What a great song it is How To Be Me is my fav. ❤❤❤🎉🎉 #roadtoa1000subs

Another amazing reaction. Another beautiful song is Crutch featuring Bibi. He plays the piano in that one. It's beautiful and raw yet again.

Ren is a genius, and Chinchilla is an amazing talent!

Their voices are perfect together. I’ve never been down there but from up here in Glasgow Brighton does look practically tropical. And clean streets and lanes if the background ms if his videos are to be believed.

I've been absolutely captivated by Ren's music. And this video is special because you were so captivated and inspired by the performance that you did an instant piano arrangement, and sang along to Chincilla's part. You've got another new subscriber. Thanks so much, Marc.

Nice piano accompaniment fella. The studio version begins with Ren playing cello, (superbly re-enacted by Ren and Chinchilla vocally in this live version). Ren is undergoing treatment for Lyme disease in Canada for probably another 4 -5 months so is unlikely to be announcing any live dates soon. He is, however, releasing a brand new track on 29th March on his birthday.

I thought it was maybe just me, so I’m really glad you pointed out that this song has an usual structure. Intriguing reaction!

your piano accompaniment was absolutely beautiful!

Love the piano with this!

Another Great React Video Mr. Keep up this great content. Chinchilla is Ma Girl 😍😍😍😍 and loving Ren.

Absolutely fantastic reaction. One of the best I’ve seen.

Why not call it what it is... Pure Genius... :)

Not often someone adds to a Ren rendition, thankfully you done him justice.

Chinchilla has a track called "Fingers" I think you should listen to - if you haven't already. To me I hear bits of Lena Lovich, Kate Bush, Skin from Skunk Anansie and, oddly, Annie Lennox when she duetted with David Bowie on "Under Pressure". Such amazing control.

Your piano addition to the song is absolutely beautiful, wow. Really great breakdown of the song and technique discussion too, but that piano jam along really blew me away ❤

❤❤❤❤❤

Great reaction! Love your musical insight and that was really impressive banging out an accompaniment by ear!!!😊

I believe this is filmed on the bridge in Brighton where his friend committed suicide. The friend he mentions at the end of the song. I can't believe you only have 700 subs. Your content is excellent, and I'm sure the sub count will start to explode.

Great breakdown of a fantastic song - which gets me every time. Thanks for this, great video.

So beautiful and so powerful

Your love for music really shines through in your reactions. I was drawn here by your ren and Chinchilla reactions. I'll be back to see what else you do in the future, both artists are amazing. They both shine bright in a world of dull music that all sounds the same

Brilliant reaction to an amazing tune

Love the piano! So respectfully done, and beautiful. Now I want a version with piano.😍

Ahh Marc, that was a beautiful rendition at the end. Fantastic. Thank for blessing us with it Subscribed

Love your unique breakdown of this song. Subbed 🎉

Your reaction and insight to this beautiful song was great to learn from. Peace.

I loved the piano. It is amazing to me how many of us just have to play his music. I had to learn these on guitar as soon as I heard them. Great reaction, loved the breakdowns. It is amazing how many great people I have found following this Ren train around KZfaq.

Another Ren'strike > inspiring another fellow musician to create > so cool .

The piano blended well - good work fella. I agree, the composition of this song is breath-takingly good.

Wow!!! Just wow!!! When you really got into it on the keys I immediately started tearing up. Man this guys music is just so touching. I know he wrote this about his best friend that committed suicide and I’ve had a few do that. It just absolutely guts me.

If you’re interested in a phenomenal solo performance by Chinchilla, check out her VERO Presents live performance of her song Fingers. It’s absolute fire.

Loved your reaction to this and yer no bad yersel'!

Hey Marc - great to find you. I am in Paisley doing production etc. Ren is just an incredible find!!!

Hat off man for your brilliant reaction !

your piano accompaniment was excellent

I don't know how many reactions I've watched to 'How to be me' at this stage, but I can tell you this one was unique. You're the first reactor I've seen who actually *added* something to the song. I absolutely loved you jamming along on the piano for a second run-through. And your musical insight was very enlightening - I knew the harmonies were amazing, but it's nice to have someone explain how and why they are amazing. Subbed and looking forward to seeing just how far down the Ren rabbit hole you fall!

Long live the RENegades!

22:00 Ok. Yup. Subscribe. This will be worth it. Was that really on your second listen? Beautiful. You totally nailed the timing.

I love all your reactions, keep it up and i cant wait to see you grow my man!

Thank you sir.

Beautiful singing!

Please do Chinchilla . fingers live. The vocals are amazing

Great reaction and loved the piano playing and singing at the end, you're talented! First time seeing you and you have a new subscriber.

For a great Chinchilla song try 'Fingers'. Great reaction by the way

I'm new here. Been on the Ren Train since April. Great reaction. See you on the next one!

Thank you Marc-Andrew

He still has, at this point around 3 months of treatment to try to counteract the organs damage from the lyme disease. Then he will need some recovery time from the treatment i imagine. So i would surmise July at the earliest

Oh, did any one mention Ren's mate Sam Tompkins. Do a reaction to Ren & Sam, & Sam... A musician's incite is really interesting...

loved it, very entertaining

❤

You should do a complease cover. Nice

They do a Marvin Gay song, on Chinchilla's channel that blows you away... check that out...

As I'm sure you've been told already, he's unlikely to be touring for a while as he's in hospital in Canada getting mad treatment for his (originally mis-diagnosed) Lyme Disease. There were rumours of him playing Glastonbury, but that seems very unlikely. If his treatment is successful, then who knows what will happen. If he tries busking in Brighton again, there will be utter chaos.

Great reaction, thank you!

So was not a huge fan of the way you were pausing during the initial reaction. I know the "reactor pauses too much" is a meme. But I felt you really killed most of the momentum that makes certain sections of the song powerful. I would suggest rewinding and letting the full section play after chopping it up with your insights. You did save it for me though with the piano addition at the end. Well done. :)

this is filmed on the bridge in Brighton where Ren's friend committed suicide.

thank you for the reaction Would love to see your reaction to ren and sam tompkins earned it/ mans world/ falling kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mp6edd2jzcqcgqM.html Their voices are amazing, it's live busking greetings from Belgium

Except… they’re not “acting”
