Don't we worrying about comparisons. You're great cos you're real. We all react/notice/take different things from first viewings. If you were like the others you wouldn't be you and we wouldn't be here. :)

She is right, it was beautiful. Ren is talking about all the wrong medications the system has been forcing him to take and the nasty side effects of wrong diagnosis. At least that’s the way I interpret it. We can all see it differently and mould it in what fits in our world. Ren and Chinchilla live How to be Me, then Chinchilla on her own with Little Girl Gone then Little Girl Gone Requiem (live). Then finish it all off with a dose of Chinchilla Fingers, live :).

I appreciate the real, first-time reactions! Pause as much as you want or need to get the most out of the songs. Love watching your reactions. And this song is amazing ❤

You'll definitely have to do Chinchilla's "Fingers" (live) & her "Little Girl Gone" - also Ren & Chinchilla "How to be me"

rRen and Chinchilla - HOW TO BE ME LIVE!!! DO EEET!! This song is about Joe as well. I only tell you this here because the song does not. Prepare for chills though! Ren and Chinchilla call each other, "musical soulmates"... Their energy and passion to music together is near unmatched.

My man, you have a great channel. I'm a big fan already. And having her join you? GENIUS. You both feel so real. I definitely always enjoy your Ren reactions. Have you done any of his duets with Sam Tompkins? If not, you should.

Ren - Diazepam (Official Visualizer)

I love you're channel. There will always be people who criticize. Most comments I'm seeing are positive, and I think y'all make a great team, and have great chemistry together. Hey, at least the comments help your channel with the algorithm😊

The best and most real reaction to this I have ever seen and I have seen so many reactions to this I love your honesty and emotions this is what Ren does! People feel and see this in so many ways and for so many different reasons. Much love to you guys keep going down this rabbit hole and you will laugh, cry and be amazed in equal measure ❤

What I love about Ren's quill is how much is left open to interpretation. The lyrics have meaning based on your personal experience. For me, this song resonates to my mental health illnesses and the drugs that are supposed to help, but often leave you numb and a shell of yourself - a floating chalk outline. You're alive but dead inside. You hate your life, but you're used to it. So much anxiety about change. Can you handle it? What if you get better, but then get sick again? Could you start over? "I'm scared of being okay 'cause all things change." The opening lines hit hardest though, "I'm still here in this bed that I crawled in/I hope that I'm someone else in the morning." It takes all your effort to try to rest...you had to "crawl" just to get there..and all you can think is want a different life - a different body, a different mind - be someone, anyone, else when you wake up. Ugh. Gotta say that I hope you check out a happier, more inspiring Ren, too, especially Ren with Eden Nash, "Humble" and "Ocean." *invigorating* Love your openness and honesty. Great reaction by both of you. Very relatable. 💛

Love your honesty and your appreciation of these Ren songs. Respect from Glasgow Scotland 🙏

Keep doing it your way! Love it. Real shit, that’s what I’m here for!!! ☮️☮️☮️

Huge respect bro... this is what Ren does, he has been there, (still under treatment btw) and he shares his journey with us all. By doing this many have opened up and shared their pain and pain like never before. I have reached 3 score & 10 (70 yrs for you young uns) and recently was diagnosed with PTSD. Through his sharing Ren has helped me open up and share and it really helps. I am a great fan of Black Pegasus reactions, and BP has often said Ren has helped him change his life by opening up some of the things he kept buried. Its such a cool thing that Ren manages to do. Go check out Ren & Chinchilla - How to Be Me (Live), plus Chinchilla - Fingers (Live for Hunger TV) When you do Fingers I suggest keeping your fingers tucked away in your pockets.. Sub'd.

“Such relief in a sip of serotonin” might be one of the best lines ever sung.

I take it as more the prescriptions that doctors give you, antidepressants, anti-anxiety, etc, so many of them cause you to not feel right, feel numb or dead inside. That's why so many schizophrenics and people like that go off their meds, because they feel like they can't feel ANYTHING. But I can see it can apply to addiction as well.

This warms my heart. I love the authenticity you both provide on your channel. You have great insight that has come from life experience. And yes!! When you have the opportunity to check out Chinchilla! She is absolutely amazing as a singer song writer and fashion designer. I look forward to the journey 🙌🫶

The fact that your reactions are authentically the first time you have checked out the music, is one of the many good things about your channel. It is easy to see when reactors cheat because they give themselves away by knowing more than they should for a first time reaction, and it leaves a nasty taste in the mouth. I don’t mind if reactors have mistakenly watched something twice and own up to it, though; anyone can make a mistake. 😊 🇬🇧 You both are confident in being yourselves (like Ren), and that is extremely attractive. 👍

Chinchilla Fingers live for Hunger TV is a brilliant track. Keep doing what you do ✌️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Sertraline gave me a very rare type of cancer - Chinchilla's first words shot me straight in the heart

I don't mind the pause either. Part of the of watching reactions is because we all have had his songs hit us in one way or another and seeing another human being react emotionally to something you yourself identify with makes it a much more acceptable place to just be you. I love watching Rens music truly affect people that it what makes it so great kind of a therapy in its own along with people who become RENegades and the community you find. Love it. Love ya girl you are truly beautiful keep believing in yourself!

Another masterpiece composition from Ren! :)

No more bad habits you two! We need you in this community!!!

Subscribing I’m crying idk if it’s ur editing but I’m crying. Bravo Oscar winning production

" Beautifully " sung, a really powerful mind alerting performance. I love you guys together , a perfect team. Please do their song " How to Be Me " , also Chinchilla's " Fingers Live for Hunger TV " ( must be this version ) . Ren does a many other wonderful collaborations, with Bibi, Molly Mc Kinna, Eden Nash and Liv, all so very special for different reason. Then there is The Big Push the band Ren had to give up for his treatment in Canada. It is always so great to see genuine reactors do Ren, he so deserves all the respect he gets.

Dear beautiful humans, I appreciate honesty, pause as much as you will, I watch these chanels to see how other people experience music. Just be you, that's enough for me.. thank you for this reaction. Warm hug from a stranger from the Netherlands ❤

"Where the hell she come from?" lol that was me. One of my fave songs.

You be You! Powerful reaction. I learned something from the way you opened up today with that inside point of view! You two are a great team.

As a former addict, I feel these lyrics so hard! Especially the with a new habit and bury yourself with a great big smile parts. So good!

Fam….I discovered REN few months ago and his music has shown me it’s ok to not be ok…we all have issues and tryna keep our heads above water…both you react on the truest form and I feel it…bless up!

Pause all you want! That's why most of us are here. We want first-time reactions.

great reaction

Great reaction! I would hope you are able to overcome your demons guys! As a fellow addict in recovery know that you are loved and you're not alone.There is nothing easy about kickin' a habit, but life does get better. Peace

The beauty of Ren's songs is that he leaves room for interpretation from personal experience. Addiction and dependence on other meds even prescribed is hard. It hit me in a slightly different way, I'm actually on sertraline aka zoloft at the moment (chinchilla's line "sertraline and a sip of serotonin" is about zoloft which is an SSRI which helps ppl with their absorption of serotonin to battle depression) and I know the feeling loss that comes with these meds. Psyche meds tend to put a wall between you and the world and even your own feelings. This, to me, is the chalk outline. Basically, walking dead. Being on/off these meds for most of my adult life, that hit me with a big punch. (I'm also on a metric buttload of other meds). But your angle from an addiction standpoint is also very astute and valid. Different perspectives teach us different things and it's so awesome to see something from another perspective. Thank you so much. Also, the beauty of the song absolutely hammers home the tragedy of the subject. I think it makes it so much more emotionally impacting. Thank you for a great reaction Also, Ren's "how to be Me" live with Chinchilla is another necessity!

Thank you for this reaction, I have listened to this track so many times in the last week and enjoy others reaction videos but the truth you say about the simplest lines in the song opened my eyes!! Another amazing song from an amazing albeit previously damaged artist. Thank you and keep it up ❤❤

Loved your reaction to this - I could see it came from deep inside

This is a reaction channel. Reactors, react, and break stuff down. Great job you two are doing. Need to check out Chinchilla "fingers live"

I highly recommend ~ Humble. Ren. Ft. Eden Nash. Next.... it will make you feel sooooo much happier ☺️ 😊 🫶🇬🇧

Feels like the lovely dynamic between you guys is coming across SO much better over the last couple of weeks or so! And loved the REAL (as always) reaction! Man. I don't know if it's a ADHD thing, I only got diagnosed last year, but the 'people mistaking passionate enthusiasm for anger/whatever' thing has happened to me more than a few times, even in the 30+ years since I first learned to notice myself leaning that direction and use little 'brain tricks'/breathing to recalibrate down a notch or two, it STILL happens occasionally! So yeah, I see you on all that, and I kinda feel like Bri gets it too, -and that's a rare and precious gift right there, kinda like Bri in general! 😀❤

I love how Ren makes a lot of his songs in one take with all of the ambient sounds intact. What you see is what you get.

It got me that it got you! You'll want to check out Chinchilla - Fingers (live). It's ridiculous. You'll definitely add Chinchilla to your LieBerry when you hear it!!!

Another awesome Ren reaction. I love you guys. The raw realness you bring is refreshing. Please react to Ren x Chinchilla's How To Be Me next. It's another amazing yet heartbreaking song. Peace and love.

I LOVE you guys, this reaction is a perfect example of the power of music and Ren is a puppet master with feelings. You guys should check out a couple of music theory teachers reacting to HI Ren. They explain how his music physically affects your body with the tones and melodies that he uses. Even if it is on your own time and not for the channel it is so worth it to check out. Keep doing you and much love from TX❤

When did you change the name from RDiss? I've been following you forever on my personal account but I've been busy with my own new channel. You were an inspiration for me wanting to do this myself. Hope everything is good

Dude, this is the best reaction to Ren i have seen. The understanding and the insight from both of you is amazing. Your reaction is almost as moving as the song is. Love the dynamic between you both too.

Without a doubt the best reaction to this song. Almost felt more from the reaction than the song itself. Thanks for sharing!

Great reaction guys . Chinchilla fingers live for hunger tv. 😢 you guys felt this one✌️

It’s the meds he’s been given that REN is talking about. sertraline, an anti-depressant medication, boosts serotonin, so when you’re prescribed it you’re in a bubble of chemically induced haziness, you’re in a chalk outline, untouched by your depression and it’s causes. Even on good days you take it, ‘cos “you’re scared of being ok, cause all things change”, so you take it “just in case”. It can become a vicious circle and you never quite get back to reality, ‘cos it might hurt too much, especially when your depression is caused by misdiagnosis and the drugs you were given for the illness you DON’T have. Ren’s Brain has been damaged by the antipsychotic drugs he was given during the years the doctors failed him. That he is as brilliant and capable an artist as he is, is testimony to his strength of character, determination and perseverance. Thank god he finally got correctly diagnosed, but a lot of the damage, physical and psychological, is probably permanent. Lyme disease is NASTY!! and the misprescribed drugs he was given are nastier!

Great video thank you

By far the most beautiful song I have ever heard. Not one time can I make it completely through this song without tears. It is what it is and I'm okay with that. This man and his music has changed me. All for the better. Great reaction. Lots of feeling. Keep it up. Chinchilla is the female doppelganger of Ren. A few interviews out there with both, describe some of their kismet in meeting and passion for performing arts. They do some busking and more live duets. Do How to Be Me. Thank you!

This song really resonates with me, I’m an addict. 20 years 9 months clean from heroin and others so I feel ya there 🖤

She’s your good habit! Keep that one!

You guys keep doing you. You can tell you have a real loving relationship and it's a pleasure to watch. Stay strong for each other.

i agree...it was beautiful....when music can move you..

I respect that this moved you brotha 👊✌❤🤙

Don't you ever apologize again. You two are a JOY. You hear me!!? A JOY.

Hands down -the best and most heartfelt/understanding reaction to this video I’ve ever seen 👍

I love your self awareness - you two touch my heart. Watching your reaction was so worthwhile to me

It’s crazy cause only those who been through it actually understand how deep and real this is. I been here since the beginning but ain’t seen your videos in a hot minute but I’ve always loved your vibe and just know that it’s so worth it to come out on the other side of those bad habits. It’s hard af but worth every drop of blood and tears that’s shed

This song, their voices are indeed beautiful

First off, tell home girl I LOVE the hat, not only is that my actual first name, Halloween is my favorite holiday and Tim Burton is one of my all time fav writers!! Nothing against your hat my man, you wear it well, just a big Nightmare Before Christmas fan. As far as the song, now I believe music is interpretive, and I've literally heard Ren say he loves that different people can take different things, and messages from his music in order for it suite their needs or feelings, so far be it for me to tell you how this song should hit ya in the feels. Plus on top of that, I dealt with addiction myself, the year my pops died, in 2014, I also had a shoulder injury on the job, firefighting, which they gave me opioids for, mix that with with losing the greatest, kindest man you've ever known, and the fact he died of cancer and after he died, had buckets full of pain meds my mom wanted me to get rid of, and you got yourself a nice little pain pill habit. 2-1/2 years later I couldn't even get out of bed without taking a large handful of them, just to function for the day. Anyway, enough of that, checked myself into rehab late 2016, been opioid free since. I think this song could very well be about addiction, in fact I never thought of it that way, and that is a new perspective on this song for me. And it very well could be what Ren was talking about, but remember, Ren went undiagnosed with his Lyme disease for close to 7-8yrs I believe, and the docs were telling him it was all in his head. He said they put him on so many different pills during that time, experimenting to see what would work, some days he thought his head was gonna pop off and roll down the street. Sometimes some of them would help a little, but he hated the fact he had to take all these damn medications in his mid 20s, like he was a 70yr old guy. I also know I've struggled with that, having general anxiety and job related ptsd, I've found a few antidepressants that really help, put me in a better overall mood day to day, and mike life a little more bearable. But then after taking one that helps more that a year or two, I'm like, I'm not gonna live my life tied to some friggin' medication, and get off them for a while, till I start having issues again. I personally think that's what he means by "It's such a beautiful day, take it just in case". But then after you brought up addiction, I totally remembered times I was on opioids, and trying to cut down on them, or ween myself off them all together, without any help, and then a cool or fun event would come up that i was going to go to, and I'd be like, man, I can't be all dope sick and crabby, I'll just take some today and put that smile on, so I feel ok for the big day. So props man for giving me a different perspective of this song, great reaction as usual!!! ✌️💚

Whether you are getting it on the streets & telling yourself it's the answer or getting it from a pharmacy with a Dr convincing you of what you want to be true. This speaks... Love your reactions, both of you 😊

Great reaction as always ❤ Definitely looking forward to seeing you react to more Ren Cheers 👍🍻

Best reaction I've seen on this one. Cause you're right, doesn't feel so beautiful if you've been there yourself. Thanks for keeping it real.

You my man, made me understand this song differently after a dozen times. ✌️. Wow

Just want to say that as followers, we value every word Bri says .... she comes out with some gems

Ren and Chinchilla are singing about prescribed medication, Sertraline is a prescribed anti-depressant that stimulates serotonin levels. The chalk outlines are the feeling you get taking anti-depressants, you erase your personality, yourself, your being, and walk around numb as if it's not you... just a chalk outline of yourself... It could also apply to recreational drugs, but in this instance, he is referring to prescription medication, and the medical profession's preference to give out drugs to treat depression... similarly in Sick Boi

You guys have quickly become 2 of my favorite reactors,,, always real and honest.

Bro I have been rocking with you for a while. Absolutely no reason why you should have to explain yalls selves. Yalls channel, yalls rules. That's all carry on.

I REALLY appreciate both you reacting in a very real way. Thank you. I am subscribed #renegades

This is your first video I've watched, and I'm subbed. Thank you for being real

Thank you ❤❤ ROM & Bri for your 🐷 🎸🧑‍🎤🧑‍🎤💊 Ren X Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines (live) reaction! So much of Ren's work is literally littered with carefully placed easter eggs. No reactor ever was able to catch them all. Don't worry, be happy!

Love them together

The law library don't have that many books! Lol. I know!

Chalk outline means the real shape of who they are, also the main component in most medications as a binding ingredient. The song is about taking mood stabilisers to get by in life. You begin to wonder what is you and what is medication, you lose who you truly are trying to be what they want.

I love to see so many people can relate to this song is beautiful😢❤

I don't usually subscribe to reaction channels, because English is not my native language and I like to only watch reactions from artists I like. But you two are everything one wants to see in a reaction channel, you are authentic, you are real, you are transparent. From the lady's body language, I could tell that she is going through addiction problems. And the fact that in the end she was totally honest and open about it, that let me know that you are good people. So here goes my subscription to your channel since I don't subscribe to reaction channels.

If we managed to talk about all this shit to eachother, maybe we wouldn't fell so god damn alone all the time.

I love your guys reactions!!!!!!

I know what the law library is, lol...Great reaction!

The chair got you, Cherophobia is the fear of happiness, it's a clever thing to put in the video!

I keep watching this man. I really feel for you and your addiction. Much love.

First time watching one of your guys videos and I have to say y'all are definitely real. You got a subscribe out of me less than have way through through the song. Looking forward to going back and watching many more of your videos!

It's not really about drug addiction, it's about all medication he was prescribed for his illness that he was misdiagnosed for.

Chinchilla is a talented independent artist as well. Worth going down the Chinchilla/rabbit hole. Take a look at "Fingers" live (original video is cool but live showcases her vocals) and definitely check out video for "Little Girl Gone", she's badass in that one!

It's mad how I can relate to everything your saying in your reaction. I'm 42 and have battled addiction my whole adult life, trying to hide from life challenges and problems. Never been diagnosed with ADHD but like you I'm mad impulsive, make terrible choices to please others and then I'm left to pick myself back off the ground. Love your honesty bro, the world's a better place with people like us in it ❤️

I think you catch a lot more than most reactors!

Instant follow.. Thanks for your personal insight.. I'm just been clean for about 4 months.. But they speak thrut... Same like you. Thanks for making my day a bit better for now. Love from the Netherlands

Bri said a lot this time. Not with words, mind you, but just with her eyes. I wish you both the best.

Reaction was beautiful ❤ love this channel and both of you.

REN Saved me last year with this song and I needed you to start my day. Im 53 sober 20 years and have battled adhd-odd compounded by ocd. It makes me uncontrollably violent so I self medicated my whole life. I’m sober from all that and no medication at all finally. I no longer battle my ADHD-ODD or my OCD. I embrace them and have compassion for them. They no longer control me. They work for me now and can be valuable tools. Drugs and alcoholism empower them so I went to war with those addictions first and won some key battles and gained the respect for myself I needed. Then I empowered my afflictions(adhd-odd ocd) with positivity love and compassion. I use healing frequencies and Tibetan’s singing bowls right here on KZfaq. I attend soundbaths and meditate with OM. It calms the ADHD lulls my ODD to sleep and focuses my OCD.I’m a different person because of it. Try it!

RDISS I saw you were uneasy with this 1 I've cried thru this

I love the pauses and rewinds keep up the great work guys.

I adore your reactions , don't change ❤ this is definitely the best reaction I've seen to this , but then you really do understand , that you take it just incase. Which was got me with this song as it really hit home with me too . Big love beautiful people ❤

I love how you two play off each other. Good match! Just subscribed. 👍🏼

Great reactions guys there’s a lot of love in the room ❤ with you two reacting together

Nice Reaction love when Ren and Chinchilla get together pure artistry!

Honestly, have you seen people not necessarily in love but might be soul mates? Not saying they should be dating or whatever; just saying they get each other at a crazy level, and the parts are greater than the sum. So beautiful. Check How to Be Me. And she is so quiet on that first intro. You can hear the background hiss from being turned up so much and hear her earrings hit each other. Such a soft, beautiful voice. Got to say Bri, you beautiful girl. You getting it. Love your reaction.

Once again GREAT reaction!.....👍👍👍

Thanks for your honesty bro much love from uk ❤

You're reaction gave me chills. I'm sorry you understand this song as well as you do.. I hope you two can lean on each other to get out. I've been clean decades now.. it can get better. Much love to you two, your reaction may help change lives, just as Ren has. Keep up the great work ❤
