    You do need to watch the live version. It's a magnificent performance and you will get a better idea of the strength and power of Chinchilla. She's blowing up right now with her song Little Girl Gone and I'm so proud of that woman that you would think I'd birthed her.

    This song directly connects to Ren's song, "Freckled Angel". It's a song Ren wrote after his best friend, Joe Hughes, committed suicide. The last stanza of "How to be Me" directly ties to this time in Ren's life: 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

    This is such a great song. Very somber, but beautiful. I think this is a good version, but man, you really get the emotion of this song through seeing Ren and Chinchilla perform it live. They do most of the cello parts together with their voices. Its a beautiful thing to watch and listen to. They are amazing together!

    This one and 'Chalk Outlines' are both really fantastic amazing songs. I'd love to see you react to Ren's live take of Genesis too. Man, whenever Ren starts doing shows again, there will be huge crowds and sell outs wherever he goes. So real, raw, and just incredible talents!

    You should really watch the live version. It's so incredible! The song was written in memory of his late friend. The last line in particular has a tear rolling down his face. I don't know if it's true but, I've read somewhere that they performed it on the same bridge that his friend "gave up the fight". Very moving.

    Omg thank you so much for doing this one 🥹 yeah this one hits especially deep. As others have said, you must also watch the live version (possibly filmed on the bridge where the friend he's singing about went missing). Somehow the harmonizing is even more pronounced, and of course, hits in a different way.

    This song is one of those very rare instances where I cannot choose between the studio version and the live, both are absolutely incredible for their own reasons. I love the use of the violin in this recorded version and of course their harmonies, but the live version has so much power and emotion. They're both incredible artists and both versions of this song deserve a reaction in my opinion.

    I soooo appreciate your compassion and acknowledging those who don't get to skate through life. Nobody escapes the bumps and bruises along the way, but for some, it becomes an unacceptable way of life that you must accept because the only way out is final, or so it seems. I refuse to let the bad guys win. That's what keeps me here...... "Too tired to live, but too stubbornn to die." ❤

    *PRO TIP!!!!!* ALWAYS LOOK TO SEE IF REN HAS A *LIVE* VERSION OF ANY SONG OF HIS YOU'RE GOING TO REACT TO! I'm always so disappointed when I see reactors react to the studio version of his songs because the live videos are always sooo much better. Ren has a live video die almost *EVERY* one of his songs. And those are the ones to react to. NOW GO BACK AND DO A REACTION VIDEO FOR THE LIVE VERSION OF THIS SONG HAHAHA! I'm totally kidding you don't have to re-react to this video. But in the future always go for the live videos!

    As i write this there are already 94 comments so I guess I am going to be the 95th person to suggest watching the live version. Even if you don't make a reaction video just watch it for your personal enjoyment and enrichment of your psyche, it's that good. Don't get me wrong, the lyrics video is excellent and well worth watching, and it may even be a better route to watch the lyrics video first and the live version second?

    I know others have said it but you really need to watch live versions or official videos for REN because there is nothing extraneous with what he does. His art is a full performance not just lyrics and music and the videos always add an extra element. I am someone who has lost people to suicide and this song crushes me, but it also helps release some of those emotions that would otherwise fester inside. REN is a key that unlocks those dark places for a lot of us and while it hurts to feel what's inside it also lightens the room and burden a little after.
