Another great reaction boys. It's Martin Gill, Ren Gill's dad legit!! The UK bit is his location!!

Rens Dad Is Martin Gill, Martin Gill UK is his user name he comments on a lot of Reactors Channels and is obviously proud of his Son, thank you for another Great reaction and spreading Rens Music

That last line rips my heart out every time. I've lost too many friends and there's no justification for why I'm still here.

Martin Gill is Ren's dad, he comments on lot's 💙 There voices are beautiful, mesmerising & haunting 💕 the story behind this is sad, rip Joe 💙

Martin Gill is indeed Ren Gill's dad guys! He's a musician and short film maker. There's a short film on his channel where young Ren acted in it.

I love that Ren leaves his songs open to interpretation. Even one so personal. To me this song reminds me of how I felt before I left my abusive ex.

Ren is incredible and Chinchilla is spectacular. The two together have a chemistry when singing that makes magic. You two really should react to Chinchilla as a solo artist. "Fingers" Live version shows off her talent. I believe she is becoming an independent artist again.

Martin Gill is REN’s dad - you should watch the film EGG - which stars a young Ren in an acting role . It is a public service announcement which Martin Gill did for the ministry of justice in the uk . It’s about peer pressure and consequences. Greet reaction by the way . Greetings from Canadian

This song from Ren directly connects to Ren's song "Freckled Angel" and Ren's friend Joe Hughes. The last stanza talks directly to this: When he gave up the fight A quick decision late in the night That stayed with me for all of my life I miss you so

Chinchilla wears the nails as a part of her character of “chinchilla” she has said it puts her into the right mind frame.

This song is one of my favorites… so haunting, so beautiful.. and a peek into the world these youngsters must navigate these days. I’m so grateful to have found REN (and Chinchilla); I’m an ‘oldie’.. with 2 GenZ grandsons, and this rabbit hole has helped me better understand them, and their world. I listen to, and appreciate all types of music - but rap wasn’t on my radar at all until Hi REN .. which of course led me to all the rest of his amazing music!! Thank-you for your thoughtful review of this artful piece honoring REN’s friend.

Depression and anxiety for almost 50 years… REN’s words hit right in the heart ❤️ the way he can express his feelings… that’s why we all feel it so deeply. When you have felt this pain there is no way to describe it but somehow he does. He’s a true artist and I am so thankful for him and his work ❤ ; Their voices together are magical ❤❤

Chinchilla is dropping new music on the 21st. This song hits so close to home for me. Ever since my mom passed I've struggled to sleep because I hear her talking to me. She's not at peace and it's a huge struggle for me. Another great reaction. Love you guys but will say again Brian is my favorite, just raw emotion

What a star Chinchilla is!

What I absolutely love about these multiple reactions from numerous people is that you can tell who, like myself has/goes though these struggles and the lyrics just hitting them differently. What I hate is that these feelings and emotions span across the whole globe affecting a huge amount of the population. I’m literally thousands of miles away in a little Scottish city and I can feel the connection Brian has with these lyrics much like I do. Cedric does an amazing job reacting but Brian’s resonates with me so much more as I’m fighting these battles with myself and have done for years. You are not alone Brian, I see you. Keep on keeping on, you are enough. Much love 🌺

Apparently the lyrics are are from the viewpoint of his deceased friend ('I've been talking to the dead', 'there are bodies in the floors', 'walk right out of this tomb'), on how he imagines his friend is feeling after un-lifing himself - the lyrics make more sense that way. Then the last stanza is Ren's message to his friend. Whatever, it is a beautiful song that deserves much more airplay.

Rens Fathers name is Martin Gill, his name that he uses is Martin Gill UK he comments on a lot of his son’s videos

I am on a Ren reaction binge. I just want so say I am very proud of you guys for expressing your feelings about depression and PTSD. The narrative that you are weak as a person if you express these types of emotions needs to end. As a country we are failing not only our veterans, but the general population when it comes to these issues. Much Love to you and your families. Keep being good people. Others, like myself, need some positive influences to get through this life.

I was in the middle of a months-long depressive cycle and the last time it started the an intense spiral, the "bad Ren" verse from Hi Ren where he starts going off about being eternal started playing over the top and drowned it out and made me laugh. The spiral stopped cold and it pulled me out of the whole cycle. It hasn't cured me but it did save me.

This is such a beautifully bittersweet song. Gives me chills every time.

As usual, great reaction. As you already know, Ren's best friend, Joe Hughes, committed suicide; 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, "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. Chinchilla's songs "Cold Water" and "Shadows [Tails]" are beautiful, and her live performance of “Fingers” is amazing, but her entire catalog is worth listening to. Here is the link to her YT channel: ru-vid.com/show-UCZc7gfR6BH-mGJh0_EgHAIQ

Chinchilla has said that she is very shy and the fingernails are like her armor ❤ and she makes all of her own hats ❤ Great reaction ❤

Both of these artists have the ability to turn on the connection to your emotions. Chinchilla on her song Fingers sings notes that you can't help but feel. Maybe you could check out the live version of that. She has also got new music coming as a new independent artist. Can't wait.

Dear god, is a great song. Definitely worth a reaction

Martin Gill is Rens Dad ,Thank you

You two hit on something I find very unique to Ren without mentioning it. Ren loves making songs where people can listen to it and come out with two (or several) interpretations. Ren loves using religious imagery/themes but never makes it just that. It's always a fun time deep diving into his songs. Awesome reaction!

These two are an awesome collaboration, as well as amazing individual talents. When my partner passed away, my depression was deep. I found music/lyrics like this lifted me up. I wasn't alone. 26 years ago, people didn't know how to react to the loss of one half of a long standing male/male couple. I miss Bob every day, with good memories, and only occasional tears.

Those two have such an on screen chemistry. I have no idea what if any relationship they have off screen, but the way they look at each other, they make it look like whatever they have goes way deeper.

The emotional intensity of this performance is off the chart. Is there anyone who doesn't know someone who 😢

As someone who has struggled with depression and anxiety I totally relate to this song and to you Brian. Thank you for your authentic and touching reaction.

This was also filmed on the bridge, at the spot, that his friend jumped from. The last stanza if you look close Ren has tears.. this song really sticks with you, at least it did for me.

It's a fantastic song and as you both said, their voices compliment each others beautifully. I agree, it's fantastic that our music tastes evolve, I used to curse my dad's classical albums, but a few years ago, I saw Foo Fighters and Beethoven's 9th at the Royal Albert Hall in the space of a week! Ren is comfortable in so many lanes, from blues to rock, rap to reggae and everything in between.

"martingilluk" is Martin Gill UK actually. LOL

Man, I've heard this song a fair few times, but this review gave tears

Yes, their voices melt together. And that glorious sound melts me. I've never been so excited to see a musician/performer. This feels like a world event. As far as how you do your reactions: keep it up, your way is best.

Always play this after Chalk outlines, so hauntingly beautiful.

Ooh thank you so much guys for reacting to this, I enjoyed it ❤❤❤ Ren and Chinchilla are forces of nature ❤

They both have such beautiful voices and they really go well together so much 🖤

If Cedric feels Chinchillas nails are fierce and Brian is scared of them, I strongly recommend you check out her song "Fingers".

Martin Gill. The uk is UK (United Kingdom).

So moving, hits the heart hard. Great reaction.

Sending Ren so many 🙏🏻 🙏🏻for his recovery. Such a beautiful, relatable song. I feel ya Brian 🤗. That feeling of shortness of breath can be overwhelming. I try to take deep breaths to calm myself . It doesn’t always help (especially when I’m driving). The line that hits me the hardest is “I forgot how to be me”. I have given so much of myself to helping my children (14 & 10) deal/cope with their disorders (Aspergers & ADHD) that I have become semi-automatic with my own life. Trying to change behaviors/habits that are not good for me, but damn it’s hard to break out of a rut. Great reaction. ❤️ you guys. Please, take care. ✌🏻🙏🏻❤️😊

Watching this on my break! Great video

They are both incredible artists. Appreciate the video

Martin Gill is indeed Ren's dad and a proud one! He comments sometimes on reactions to his son's videos

Thanks guys for this wonderfully vulnerable reaction. Love you guys.

If you want to check out something from Chinchilla herself, the place to go would be her VERO live version of her song Fingers. It’s awesome! Will curl your eyebrows!

Really loving your reactions to Ren (GENIUS). Thank you ❤ Looking forward to seeing your next Ren reaction. Cheers 👍🍻

Chills! Love the live performances. Great Reaction! Please do more Ren!

Great reaction, great song. Loved it

Love your work...

Thank you two this was so good From the UK.

Thank you for sharing your story regarding the anxiety sadly you have. I too suffer from anxiety and depression and Ren truly knows how to describe what we go through. This is one of my favorite songs. Peace to you both.

Michael Gill actually plays classical guitar and more so thankfully rubbed of on Ren. Great reaction guys 👍👍👍

Thank you for reacting to this track. This song is beautiful and gives me goosebumps every time. Ren & Chinchilla sound so beautiful together. The lyrics in this song certainly resonate. Love hearing your thoughts 😀

It just shows that people who you think are ok are really struggling. Thank you for speaking about your struggle, so important for you, me and others to share but also ask for help when it's needed. Please reach out don't do it on your own. Love and best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧 😊

What the heck was i thinking watching this at work. Got my eyes watering up over here. Not sure if you guys have done anything from his recently split band The Big Push or not but their orignals are so good and the covers!! Don't get me started on the covers. Phenomenal!!!

Keep up your the good work guys...love all the love for Ren 🔥♥️🔥

Great reaction to a beautiful song

Lovely reaction guys

Get your handkerchief ready I’ve been crying for days lol and loving it

Not sure if this makes sense but i like how you can clearly hear both voices at the same time crystal clear. lots of things have to click for that to happen through the vocal ranges and for it to be the case from start to finish.

Thank you for a heartfelt reaktion ❤

All right! About to watch this now. I could have sworn you guys at already done this song. Hard to keep track I suppose I'm watching all over in everywhere. I know this is a great one I can't wait to see what y'all think. ❤

Great reaction guys love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍

Great reactionn guys!

The live you mentioned was on Twitch straight after the premiere of Illest of our Time,i was lucky enough to watch it live and it was really cool.He also gave a shout out to all reactors,he said he feels good that people can lift each other up as in some of his subs go to the reactors channels and some of theirs go to his.He also gave us info on the Illest of our Time and his plans for the futute.Oh and blows a balloon up with his teeth 😁 Def worth a watch in your free time,80 mins long so i'm guessing a little long for a reaction

I’m a relatively new subscriber, so I haven’t seen everything you’ve put out yet, but I subbed because of your authenticity. Reactions, at least the good ones, are a shared experience which is what makes them compelling (imo). They also give exposure to artists that aren’t considered ‘bankable’ to the mainstream, despite them having a ton of talent. I appreciate the different perspectives you guys have and how vulnerable your reactions are.

Thank you for reacting to this - so sad but so beautiful. Really pleased you get how special Ren is. But perhaps you now need to hear a fun Ren? I recommend his band The Big Push playing Bongo Bong :)

The build up of the "mmmmMMMMM" to the "oh, i cant breathe" was stated really well by another reactor as giving the feeling of sleep paralysis TRYING to scream. Great work C&B happy to drop a sub, this is my first video i have seen from you guys and look forward to more!

Great reaction guys! So real and honest! Liked and subbed 👏👌🤌🔥❤️

What always gets me is watching these two incredible performers and the love and respect they have for each other. Chinchilla needs to be seen and heard by more people.

Love your reactions. And I absolutely understand the continuing revelations that come to you with each listening. Not sure if y’all are interested in revisiting and discussing the song again - after time to listen and reflect more. 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼

Great stuff guys. Very helpful listening to your reactions. I hope your subs continue to rise!

Beautiful reaction guys. Subscribed

Enjoyed the reaction 😊

If you would like to see/hear Chinchilla at her absolute best, search the following---"VERO Presents: CHINCHILLA - FINGERS Live for HungerT" ----It's an amazing song and gives me chills every time I watch it, which is usually once a day.

I just discovered Chinchilla....I knew about Ren and heard his stuff so it gives me such a thrill to discover another artist through theses duets...She is such a beautiful singer.

Beautiful review. Would still love to see a review of Crutch ft Bibi. Thanks

its Martin Gill he just added UK on the end as he is from the UK.

Song is relatable for many people...Ren and Chinchilla are both incredible..great reaction guys

Wow. Just wow.

Never been here. Ren brought me here. But the cold hard honesty that you guys have shown, just wow. I'll continue to follow you. Your hearts are not alone.

Love you guys and love your reactions! would perfectly love to see "music reviews" of this one and others! The beauty about humans is what you are saying, we are different and we have different life experiences and consequently different perspectives and feelings about the same thing! So don't worry about people not liking something, just be you guys and enjoy it to the most and keep it you! love to all 🥰

😂😂😂Martin Gill...UK 😂😂😂 man I thought I was old❤❤❤😂 I'm 58 and I even knew that...martingilluk 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks guys. Wonderful follow-up to Chalk Outlines. I have another one to request, so incoming………..

First time seeing your channel but I feel like I known y’all forever, sub for sure

Beautiful song, heartfelt reaction. Really appreciate hearing how you relate to Ren's music and admire his artistry. This song packs quite a punch. Would love to see you branch out to another worthwhile rabbit hole - twenty one pilots. Their artistry is phenomenal as well, and they deal with substantial topics, especially mental health. Lots of meaningful layers and beautifully constructed music. I would suggest starting with the official vids for Car Radio, Migraine, and Holding On to You. They blend genres effortlessly, and the lyricism is next level. It's a very cathartic music journey. They don't disappoint.

It is 'Martin Gill UK' (You Kay) as in the United Kingdom

RIP Joe Hughes .......wonderful reaction like always gents.

I can't breathe. Where is my God. Where are you? Nothing is pulling me through. How can I be me?

I never had to deal with anxiety until I had a stroke in 2016 and now it's my way of life. I refuse to take meds and take things that are natural (like Ashwaghanda, 5htp, CBD, and even THC at one point). Keep your head up and stay strong, it's worth fighting for!

Great reaction guys. So many things in this song musically, performance wise and lyrically. There is a British Psychiatrist, an academic who teaches, who has been reacting to Ren. He started with a reaction to Hi Ren that he put up for his students and it was amazing. He recently did How to be Me and his breakdowns from a mental health point of view are insightful.

Ren was in a good band called The Big Push. It's worth checking out some of their music videos also, such as Dignity, Sweet Little Lady, Precious, Why My Woman etc.

Thank you guys ❤❤

Great reaction y’all . They are fantastic individually but together wow ! Unfortunately as I’m sure you know whatever way you react there is always somebody who will complain lol.

Wonder❤ful reaction. When Ren cries out to God...rips me.

The anxiety so strong that you have to manually breath otherwise it feels like your body is trying to forget to breath. It's scary to feel that. One thing I've learned through my own experiences of depression and anxiety is that especially if it feels like life around you is trying to smother you and stop you from progression, it was the strongest thing for me to think about when I felt the satisfaction of saying "no, life itself wants me gone but I will not go". Fighting and staying around is a victory in and of itself and in some ways it is a stronger victory than most people will sadly know. It's such a fine line and it often just comes down to what and when you choose to think about winning just that fight alone. So, to anyone who feels like life itself is trying to delete you from this world - know this, and take satisfaction in the FACT that you haven't lost yet. You've been getting the sh*t kicked out of you but you haven't lost. Stand your ground. Keep fighting. Keep winning in that way if nothing else

It's Martin Gill. UK is where he's from. He is Rens Dad. Also a musician.
