This should have been on the Grammys 😊 They are so much better than 80 percent of the people nominated ❤

Chinchilla's first line is "sertraline, and a sip of serotonin" - I broke out in tears when I heard that. Very relatable.

I have an autoimmune disorder, chronic illness, and severe depression bc of it all. I have spent the last few years on my couch completely vacant. I used to do a lot. I have had my poetry and photography published in the past. I wanted to make short films but never did. I lost all desire in life. These videos, the messages, and your reactions have really been helping me. Thank you for doing these.

This is such a beautiful song. My son deals with depression and has repeatedly said that he feels “dead inside”. He is 14 and has been saying this since he was 10. Outside of going to school he, pretty much, lives in his room. I try to get him to come join the rest of the family, but he rarely does. It breaks my heart. I just want him to realize it’s ok to feel ok. It’s ok to be happy about something. I worry about him constantly. Thanks for doing this one Cliff. Ren is absolutely amazing. First time hearing Chinchilla. She has an amazing voice as well. ✌🏻

One-take, live vocals, let's get it! 🤘

I love how they sing TO each other instead of around each other.

Why the fuck do I tear up every time every song. This guy speaks to my soul. Sitting here on sertraline myself been left on them for like ten years man. I feel like rens music is the first I’ve felt anything properly in years. Incredible. I need to meet this man.

I'm really glad you reacted to this one and enjoyed it, most reactors seem to be skipping it for some reason. This is another one of Ren's songs that really resonates with me and I enjoy seeing other people enjoy that. Thanks for your reactions.

They broke me with this one. I've been 19 years going through much the same issues of autoimmune disorder, depression, injuries, and constant pain. It's all learning how to cope with every new pitfall.

Chalk Outlines has always been my favourite Ren song and the blend of their voices is hauntingly beautiful.

Real knows Real. Keep being you Cliff. Much love to anyone who reads this. "Dont cry, there's a pill for everything"

It's the eye contact in the chorus for me.

youre the only reactor, so far, that encourages us to like and sub to the artists we love. its small things like this that are important. love it

Heartwrenching beautiful

Can anyone else literally not stop thinking about this man's music. I can't get enough of it if I'm not listening to anything I can find he does on Spotify or KZfaq to watching others having such emotional reactions similar to what I have, man it's powerful stuff . Ren deserves a movement.. it's such a profound creative expression of ones self in such an articulate understanding relatable emotion of art. Rens range of topics an his ability make his music emote is unparalleled. chinchilla is dope to but I have a hankering that wildly talented an creative people tend to work with people they see are cut from atleast the same type of fabric lol love your reactions they're one thee most authentic out there. Seems the older I get that's all I want I crave authentic real people Which would explain why NF an Ren are my two favorite artists... I had a thought today about how cool it would be to have NFs Fear an Evil Rens characters do a Collab an intertwine those two characters in a dark dynamic 🤯🤯 something tells me it'd be brilliant lol have a blessed day sir. Sorry that's so long lol

I recently discovered this song and I had such an emotional response to it. It's unreal. Thank you Cliff.

Yup. No words. 🎯🎵🙏🔥💯

Love your channel so much. This song actually got me to taper off my clonazapam. (Like a long acting Valium) been on them for 15 years. This song hit HARD in all the best ways. Thanks for always shouting out to the people struggling with mental health. ❤

I’ll just say I have “profound cPTSD” (says my therapist), severe chronic pain, and I’m tired. So very tired of it all. Living, pushing through with “a great big smile”, suffering…it’s a lot. Every day I wake up, I’m gutted to still be here. I’m way past wanting to tap out. This song makes me weep; it makes me feel less alone. Anyway, I hope everyone here is doing ok and hanging in there.💜

This is the kind of love performance that should be at the Grammys nominated (& wins) for best song of the year. But it goes against their business model

Ooooohhhhh yyyyessss. Been waiting for this one. Much ❤️ thank you.

Something I didn't notice until just now... the lights flicker just before he enters that space. And then they flicker again before Chinchilla comes into frame and begins singing. It's like they're entering another dimension. Durint the first verse he says "I" and then switches to "We". The tiny details and nuance in his videos leave so much to discover even after multiple views!

Such a beautiful song. But it breaks my heart every time. ❤️‍🩹

"Sertraline and a sip of seratonin". Sertraline is Zoloft in the US.

I’ve heard this song so many times, and it still brings a tear to my eyes. I never went the medication route, but I buried my feelings with a great big smile and bottling up Emotions can be just as deadly as masking them with medication I had to come to realize I don’t have to be the strong person and it’s OK if I break down, I’ve been through a lot and it’s only made me stronger and who I am today and if I can use my pain to help others that is medication to me.

I love how he can go from rapping rapping, to this, to Hi Ren or amazing story telling like Jenny & Screech. All while be so relatable and real every time

This song makes me fucking cry

Chinchillas voice is so raw. So beautiful.

That they had the foresight to choose the location not just for it's visual ambience, but also because it's natural reverb falloff speed is perfect for the tempo. When she pauses at the end of the music for the gentle outro.. Spot on, wonderful link between audio and visual.

The respect you paid Chinchilla was dope!

Dude, I love your channel and the way you breakdown and react to videos and songs. I am a 50 year old who loves all music but especially rap. I have also been recently hit with lots of depression and anxiety and they have been putting me through all these different meds to try to find the one that works, meanwhile I feel like I am losing it sometimes. Watching your reactions helps me tons. It’s my therapy and I just want to say thank you! I’ve also got to say that Ren is a beast. I am so glad he has been found for the masses. This song is exactly what I’ve been icing the last few months. Please keep up the good work buddy.

Ren and Sam Tompkins "Blind Eyed", original song of there's, few different performances of it but them performing it in a parking garage while getting kicked out is hilarious, n they don't miss a beat!

I’m so glad you covered this one. It is quickly coming to be my go-to Ren song. It’s sad yet beautiful.

Love this song!!! ❤️

I feel like some of us will be telling our grandchildren about Ren and how special it was to discover him. I See Ren as a voice for generations to come!! Music and healing for the masses. ✌❤💪

So glad you’re staying on the Ren train!! I knew this one would hit you!

such relief in a sip of serotonin

I love Ren. It is a beautiful song. I cried the first time I heard this. Thanks for the reaction Cliff. Send lots of love. 🤍🤍🤍

This is amazing xx they both killed it xx ❤️🐢❤️ xx

It strikes me that the way Ren does his videos makes it clear there’s no auto tune at play. It’s pretty revolutionary to assert these days. It’s almost like queen who used to put”no synthesizers” on their album covers.

I love this song. I also love ‘how to be me’ which he also did with Chinchilla. The first medication she mentions is Sertraline-anti anxiety/depression medication. Great reaction. 🖤🤘

Love your reactions. Ren is an unbelievable talent.

Ren is a genius just amazing.

Love that song. It feels like one of the songs I used to hear when I was a kid that stay with me forever.

This is so fantastic! An even more stunning duet (IMO) is "Ren X Chinchilla - How To Be Me (live)"

I mean if the sound of the chair impressed you then yeah the song itself was bound to blow your mind 😂 It really is such a beautiful song and damn some of those lyrics… “I’m scared of being okay cause all things change” really hits differently.

Wow. He never fails to amaze me. A beautiful duet. Much respect for the one take artistry. I don't know who else does this.

Thanks Cliff! Chincilla has a beautiful voice and her songs are amazing too. Ren and Chincilla - 'How to be me" (live) is a must listen too. Have a great day everyone!❤🙏

This has a constant hold on me as a severe mental health warrior I feel this ❤️❤️🇮🇪

This song is so gut wrenchingly honest...your reaction so true..absolutely haunting. Beautiful.❤❤🔥🔥👍

Hi algorithm. Great reaction Cliff. Such a powerful song.

When you find the world constantly attacking you, it's because they see Him in you. You scare it, because it can't stop Him, and it can't stop you. ❤🔥🍻

Can't wait for you to react to what went wrong part 1 and 2 by Ren and Sam.

Wow this guy is really talented. He has great range of ability. This song is beautiful.

I literally just found this song after Hi Ren and I just told my wife lastnight that this is now my hands down favorite song out right now. We need more music like this today that actually has meaning and not just flipity floppity flupe lyrics.

Thank you for all that you do... Great content.

Here for you always ❤️ can't wait to watch #ren with you

This song is special. Really should have radio play. Absolutely captures the hope and despair of the mental cycle.

been waiting on this one Cliff, beautiful song, im here for all Ren reactions, much love brotha

Fender Stratocaster! The greatest of the greats use these guitars! Powerful song and message! Beautiful! The Beatles reference of "Let It Be" is brilliant!!!!

Thank you beautifuly said, thank you for your words ♥️♥️

I love Ren and Chinchilla❤❤.Cliff appreciate brother.

This is a deep song and bro has been making so many geared towards awareness for mental health.

How the hell are you keeping it together. I bawl like a baby each and every time i hear this

Woooooooow...I have no words !!!! EPIC EPIC EPIC SONG! ....So beautiful I don't have words !!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

He looks like Thomas Shelby from the Peaky Blinders haha Ren is Fly bro, pure heart & soul. You can't sleep on his music, its more than music, Its performance art.... something precious & special and its all live and personal, absolutely beautiful

New subscriber 🫶🏼 Love your reaction to this duet, the breakdown and your opinion was beyond what I have come across so far. Keep doing you mate, we’re here for it!

Thank you for Your truth. ✌️

all ren songs hit differently

Just stunning,I so hope he climbs to the top of the recognition list very soon. Nice work Cliff.

i feel like coming back watching your reactions is like a mini dopamine hit.

Ren x Chinchilla - How to be me another great song.

Reactions to these songs are spreading everywhere.haha :D I hope Rens' older songs like Crutch, Patience or Penitence will get some more spotlight soon

Got to say. I love how soon you understand it. Some reactors don't get it until the end

My goodness!! Your reaction to this video is so beautiful!!! Thank you!!! Just for that I'm su subscribing to your channel!! This was such an honest and heartfelt reaction!! I agree with you also!! This song should be on the radio!! I'm looking forward to Ren doing this at the Grammys!!!

I love doctors, they have beat stage 4 cancer for me. Afterwards, i was on Sertraline because i had ptsd. It makes ya feel numb emotionally though. I had to stop taking it so i could feel again

Faaaaaaark! This is incredible. Shivers down my spine. I love the reaction, too, bro. Only a fucking robot wouldn't tear up a bit at this song.

This was a wonderful reaction ❤

Right thats what I love about your channel you're Real brother.

Hey, man. YOU are awesome. I know there was some drama with your channel, and I’m so glad you are here

Great song great reaction cliff! Ren is amazing! Im hungry for more of his amazing work!

Thank you brother

How To Be Me by those two is another amazing duet.

Ren is a modern day troubadour he can do it all, rap rock soul he can deal with his issues and illness through his songs, this is real as it gets

Great reaction....most played song .but to hear it all broke down and appreciated is great 👍

Chills! This is not the first time I have listened to it either. It is so beautiful!

you do a great job at reacting take your time as long as you dont lose the feel of the song which you dont is all i care about when people stop alot

Love you dude. Thanks for this one.

A glimpse of the overwhelming, expansive beauty inside people that gets numbed out with meds 😢 so bittersweet, it's heartbreaking 💔

It's so beautiful.

Thanks for another reaction...again 🙏🏼

Great stuff! Appreciated man. Ren x Chinchilla - How To Be Me (live) is well worth your time too.

The freaking eye contact Chinchilla catches me every time.

I'm so sorry & angered on your behalf Cliff. I love listening to your thoughts, watching your breakdowns & reactions to music. Far too many reactors just sit there watching a song & barely say anything. I admire your willingness to say what you think & how you promote independent musicians. I don't know what it's like in the US but over here the pandemic really hit all smaller working musicians so hard. I've been a musician/artist most of my life & have done just about everything to stay afloat from busking, playing parties/weddings/funerals/churches to teaching, all so I can keep trying to write & create the music I actually want to. Lockdown very nearly pushed me under & I'm still really struggling to rebuild & regroup. It's so ironic to me that in an era where everyone's purported to be so enlightened & aware that quite the opposite's true. Sad that anyone who demonstrates awareness of, or a contradictory opinion to, the over-riding agenda of quiescence becomes a target. Good to have you back & I hope all this trouble you're having stops. I'm so glad you're promoting Ren too & that I've discovered his music. Musically & creatively he's outstanding, but I empathise so much with his story & the way he expresses his experiences & struggles through his music. I've battled an autoimmune disease since I was 18; it's a bitch! All power & great respect to him. I wish him every success in both his music & his health struggles. Much love Cliff xxxx

love your reaction. i watched tons of reaction videos to ren's music and you're definitely my top 3 favorite. your words and feelings are so genuine. and you spread positivity to the artists too. thank you for your videos

Almost cried, but didn't. Amazing performance & song!!!!

Feeling you on this reaction Bro. Respect my G.

Cliff, I absolutely love how real and raw you are on your channel! I was real upset and sending emails to the KZfaq contact us thing complaining that they were taking you and your channel down when you were helping so many people!!!! I actually received a response from them last week assuring me that your channel was still up and running lmfao. I usually don't speak about this in public forums because I don't like burdening other people with my issues. But this particular reaction you were talking about big pharma and the doctors and the switching of medications and I am a recovering opiate and heroin addict. I'll be six years clean this June 24th, in the last five and a half years I've been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, major depressive disorder, PTSD, several traumas that I've never dealt with, from childhood upwards, severe social anxiety & panic attacks and moderate agoraphobia. (Our house burned down 13 years ago and we lost all of our pets as well as all of our belongings!!! So I have a certain fear that if I leave my house something may happen. The doctors have had me on a roller coaster of medicines for years now. The worst one was a doctor that had me on 800 mg of Seroquel a day for 5 years 🤬🤬🤬 That caused serious weight gain and fcked my blood sugar up to where now I have to take meds for that too. I was put on heart meds and NEVER TOLD that I had had a heart attack one night when I'd od'd. I found out a year later as I was reading through the medical sheets they'd sent home with me after an overnight hospital stay 😳😳 I was just a useless junkie to them, would be 1 less addict out there they'd have to deal with 🤬🤬🤬🤬 Sorry, I didn't intend to write a book lol. But I HAD to tell you that to say this:. You saved me 2 different times!!! I haven't been able to find a trauma therapist or counselor because of where I live in Ohio.... I desperately need one!! Because I got rid of the drugs but all of the problems that were there.... Are still there!! And my demons bite hard especially in the middle of the night, when I'm up all night because I can't sleep. I now have seizures and can't drive and sometimes I just feel trapped,. There were 2 nights a year ago and a year and a half ago that I was truly close to breaking and losing the fight 😪😪 BOTH TIMES I got a bling notification on my phone about you dropping a new video!!! BOTH TIMES I went in to watch it and you were talking real shit about your struggle with addiction.... And your fight and offering that if anyone needed to talk to reach out to you. I was still carrying guilt and shame around and beating myself up daily so I was too afraid to reach out to you!!! But KNOWING you were out there and willing to help others.... Gave me a lifeline if I got to that place where it's dark in my head again. So I just wanted to let you know.... I'd either be in jail or dead WITHOUT YOU AND YOUR POSITIVITY!!! I OWE YOU my life!!! And also want you to know that if there is ever ANYTHING that I can do for you please do NOT HESITATE to ask!!! Even if you just need to talk to someone who's lived years in the dark with their demons!! I'm ALWAYS available!! Much love to you and your family!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Much love for this reaction man. I truly do want to say I appreciate your reactions and the effort and time you allow for them to exist for our entertainment. KZfaq is some bull's pizzle but I hope you don't let it keep you under that sea of doubt. You are amazing man never forget that no matter what happens to this channel or with this website or even with the world we won't forget you Cliff Beats the biggiest wave may crush us the hardest but it moves twice as fast you will emerge from the depths of demonitization I beleive in you.

Such a beautiful song. And a beautiful meaning that relates to many people.
