Thank you so much for this reaction, so heart warming to watch. Sending you the biggest hugs 🫶 thank you for all the support 🥹

@musikbyjh Год назад

Chinchilla! You absolutely rock! And I can’t wait to react to your OWN songs! I’ve been hearing that I need to hear “Fingers” live. Is there a song YOU think I should do of yours first? Much love to you. Absolutely amazing talent! Ridiculous voice.

@sarrold71 Год назад

Absolutely sublime Chinchilla. Incredible ❤

@helsi85 Год назад

Out of interest Chinchilla, where was this filmed as I've seen a few claim it's on Menai bridge but it's obviously not, looks more like a rooftop balcony somewhere. Was it filmed the same day/evening as chalk outlines?

@badbadleroybrown Год назад

Chinchilla 😍🥰❤❤❤

@chrishesse3442 Год назад

Watching Ren reactions is addictive, because his music opens people up. And it's beautiful to share that with each other. Shared the goosebumps.

@skolex33 Год назад

Well said

@seanjenkins4311 Год назад

Agreed. I'm on night number 3 of ren reactions.

@JohnGatesIII Год назад

This video was filmed on the Bridge that Joe jumped from. It makes it even that much more powerful and emotional. The last lines kill me. This song ties directly in with "Freckled Angel".

@musikbyjh Год назад

Oh man!!! I didn’t k ow that. Geeze. I’m kind of glad I didn’t know that at the beginning….this would have been very tough to make it through.

@extrastrengthhamsalad3438 Год назад

I didn’t need to know this… I already cry enough when I listen to this song.

@bethosbornefischer3315 Год назад

His vocal control considering the location and history is unreal. You can tell he's working hard.

@helsi85 Год назад

I've seen a few people claim this. Doesn't look like menai bridge though. You couldnt film there as there's always cars crossing over it. I imagine it was probably filmed somewhere in Bristol

@kchodron406 Год назад

No that definitely isn't on the bridge (I live on Anglesey). It looks like the balcony of Dylan's Restaurant which overlooks the Menai Strait, not far from the bridge though.

@bethosbornefischer3315 Год назад

I think it's really important to know that Joe had tried to get help. In the week or so before he jumped, he had tried to admit himself to the hospital, but was refused because he was drunk. There were also multiple attempts by his friends and family to help. Ren's raising of mental health, and that if yourself and other reactors can save lives. Thank you for going a step beyond just a review.

@musikbyjh Год назад

Thank you for this background, and for the nice compliment, Beth. Anything I can do to help.

@Shawaeon Год назад

That is absolutely fucked up. Most suicides are committed when under the influence, usually alcohol. That is especially when you should take someone serious.

@BallisticAero Год назад

Their synergy is unreal, such versatile performers who are best experienced through both watching and listening

You know a song's great when it gives a death metal guitarist chills. 🤘 😎🤘

@bobbysneed9045 Год назад

Chinchilla and Ren together is magic. They pierce the veil. I found Chinchilla thanks to Ren and all her stuff is amazing. "Fingers (live)" is absolute fire. Thanks for this reaction btw!

@musikbyjh Год назад

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for the nice compliment!

@jonasmandersson Год назад

Love your reaction. This song speaks volumes to anyone who has been so deep down that su*cide actually feels like a logical solution. I cry every time when the Hallelujah part starts. Nothing is pulling me through is such a powerful and desperate line.

@MissMeKate Год назад

Thank you for including the helpline number. Yours is the first reaction I've seen to do that for this song and it is a lovely, caring touch.

@musikbyjh Год назад

Thank you. Anything I can do to help.

@JensRandolff Год назад

Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. As you stated, "How to Be Me," is about Ren's best friend, Joe Hughes, who committed suicide; Ren alluded to it in one of his other 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, "Freckled Angels" being one examples. It is dedicated to Joe Hughes, who committed suicide on the 27th of December, 2010. Someone else commented that the video was shot at the bridge that Ren's friend jumped from. His body was never recovered. Their live performance of "Chalk Outlines" is still my favorite song, partly because I can relate to it due to my own daily struggles. Although, losing your 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 also recommend 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. In case you didn't already know, Chinchilla (Daisy Bertenshaw) is 26 years old, from London, UK, and a rising star on the British music scene. She was a supporting act on Sting's 2019 European Arena tour and the opening act for the 2021 McFly tour. Chinchilla has also played some big European music festivals. Her songs "Cold Water" and "Shadows [Tails]" are beautiful, but her entire catalog is worth listening to. Here is the link to her YT channel: ru-vid.com/show-UCZc7gfR6BH-mGJh0_EgHAIQ I hope you will continue to dive into Ren's and Chinchilla's catalogs.

RIP Joe Hughes

@musikbyjh Год назад

Belated thank you for watching, and the wonderful info! I def will continue to learn and react to both. ✌🏽

@dawnpatterson8708 Год назад

This was a really good reaction, dude. Nice that you can take the time to appreciate the music aspects of it. But, then to be able to set that aside. To allow the lyrics and music as a whole to touch you. This was a stellar performance. It's not just the way their voices compliment each other. It's the CONNECTION they have with each other. Anyway, nice reaction. Look forward to seeing your next step in discovering the next side of Ren, you haven't seen yet.

@lost_in_a_crowd_of_3257 Год назад

Ren and Chinchilla are both so amazing together. They really know how to relay emotions.

@musikbyjh Год назад

I'm so sorry. 😞

@sukimarmelaide4030 Год назад

Kjc Ile I was so so stunned by your comment. My soul aches for you. I just buried my mother in February. Just like every choice she made in life, she very intentionally made this choice too. My brothers and I have made it this far, and I don't believe any of us thought we would. Our mama was very sick and she raised us on her own, in spite of her myriad mental health issues. Although it made for a very frightening, desperate childhood, often full of dread, none of us ever doubted we were loved. I cannot express to you how much I wish for your grief to not strangle your family. I cannot say more earnestly how much I hope that your burdens will be eased. I sincerely wish for you to find and realize true peace. My mother told us almost daily that every event that happened to us and would happen in our lives, whether it was joyous or full of despair, was just another in a long string of lessons we, ourselves, had planned out and chosen to learn •with those souls who could teach us these specific things the very best• before we were even born. We never never lose those who we love. We are tied to one another forever.

@docdurdin Год назад

Perfect.. Jeremy, no matter if you are mixing or creating a mix this is what is the meaning of all music is. It touches us.

@kathleenpingelton870 Год назад

I love Ren's music & his spirit. He deserves so many good things. His collaborations with other people are nothing short of incredible. Thank you for sharing the Suicide Hotline info. There are so many lonely people in this world to whom just a kind word can make all the difference ❤

Hey from Holland!!(new sub to you're channel) thanks for sharing your REACTION on ren and chinchilla..his and her songs hits hearts and souls......

@catcitycover Год назад

Thank you for showing the suicide help line. Many people need to know they aren’t alone. REN’s effect on many of his listeners is so profound and shows us we aren’t the only ones suffering. I have become addicted to his music in just a few weeks. You should also listen to his band “the big push”. Great straight on rock covers and a few of their own songs. Long way from busking on the streets of Brighton, England. This guy will be huge.

@musikbyjh Год назад

You are NOT alone. None of us are. Thanks for watching, and your suggestions. I'll add to my list!

@idigthat73 Год назад

God I love this. Firstly, rens performance is imo his finest, when he sings " where is my God where are you?" and the next two lines that follow, his voice just wow! And Chinchilla takes no prisoners when she delivers, just beautiful to watch, the both of them. P.S love the Puscifer top❤

@lakenkay1352 Год назад

I like the Puscifer hoodie. The last time i felt this way about a musician was hearing Maynard for the first time on JJJ radio back in the early 90s. If it wasnt for reaction videos i'd have never discovered Ren. I like how humble he has been and how thankful he has been towards reaction content creators for introducing people to his work and promoting his songs. It's and oddly symbiotic relationship.

@charleen2074 8 месяцев назад

@moonbubbles3046 Год назад

Me too. I cried the first several times I heard it. Even if I didn’t hear one lyric I would have still done so.

@Skittenmeow 11 месяцев назад

The symbolism of these lyrics, and the actual song being a duet. It immediately humanises the struggle, shows that someone else is experiencing the exact same, giving a female side, turning pain and fear into something beautiful. Find someone you can harmonise with, whether literally or figuratively. It helps.
