  Ren has performed at two festivals this summer (and 'All Points East' this coming weekend) he ended both sets with 'Chalk Outlines' and his face as thousands of people sang his words back at him was beautiful ❤ Thanks for this one x

  There's another Ren and Chinchilla song to check out (How To Be Me), and so many great stand alone Ren tracks to react to. There's also his band (The Big Push), and his recent collaboration work with Chris Webby (Inpatient). It's definitely worth checking out Chinchilla's solo work too

  The loud chair is an Easter egg , cherophobia ( pronounced chair ) is the fear of being happy

  The feeling i get from them everytime I watch this is desperation. And when thry look at eachother it feels like that desperate feeling you get in times like this just for one other person who can relate to you and be there with you. I cry every single time they start belting out those notes. The first time i heard the line &quot;I&apos;m scared of being okay cuz all things change&quot; was the first time i heard the feeling I feel put to words. The other line I&apos;ve never been able to put to words before was &quot;it&apos;s a perfect day take it just in case&quot;. <br><br>Ive taken myself to a couple mental health facilities over the past 2 years and his songs are the only relief I can find to help me hold on long enough to be able to find the time to get to one.

  This past Sunday I was in London to see Ren in a festival -- a highlight of my 65 years! And Chalk Outlines has been his climax song in the tour -- and in this final tour concert Chinchilla came out for the second verse of Chalk Outlines and... OK, I have to admit it... Like so many many in the audience I was a puddle of joyful tears. They are amazing together -- the love between them glows. (And no, I don&apos;t mean romantic love, just the beautiful closeness and respect and joy they clearly have performing together.) Great reaction - thanks!

  Your comments really helped me to better understand the song.<br>As a non-native English speaker, I always struggle with song lyrics. Thanks for the help.

  Beautiful reaction. I was a long term heroin and crack addict, when I came off the depression was debilitating. I was prescribed Sertraline (as Chin mentions) and while it killed the dark it also killed the light. Everyone commented on how I&apos;d stopped being funny (I have a very dark, sarcastic British sense of humour) and stopped laughing. It&apos;s a sh1tty way to live!

  I appreciate your reaction to this hauntingly beautiful song.<br>This song is not just about drug addicts but the struggle that people who need mental health meds (even those people who need pain or other types of medication for physical conditions) go through in order to function mentally and physically. The meds may make them more mentally (or physically) stable, but the side effects erase their essence.

  Thank you for your reaction ❤❤ Ren considers Chinchilla as his musical sibling and together they make emotional magic. 😊

  I think everything about this song is done with excellence. The echo, harmonies, emotion, vocal, control, lyrics, lighting. It’s incredible how impactful a song can be in a hallway with a chair. Their Chemistry is absolutely magical. Thank you so much for your comments and interpretation of the lyrics.

  Chinchilla, fingers LIVE!!!! HAS TO BE LIVE lol<br>It&apos;s my favourite all time live vocal performance. She&apos;s absolutely at her finest live in my opinion. Sounds great in a studio, but she has amazing range and emotional impact in voice and performance when she&apos;s live. Please please watch it soon<br>Good to see you back
