Iām a 45 year old nurse from Vancouver with one leg. I spend my youth playing punk and ska in not-very-good bands. I thought I couldnāt really get excited about new music anymore, until I discovered this. I feel like I did when I was 14 and I first heard Nirvana. Itās that good. Itās amazing. Itās revolutionary. Itās so beautiful and inspiring.

Im from Germany, me and my girl traveled from dover, Canderburry, London, Stonehenge, Oxford, Sheffield, York, Edinburgh, Loch Ness, Glasgow, Chester, Birmingham back to Dover. It was a big road trip. In pubs we talked to very friendly people, we talked about Britain, we stay awake some nights, weve seen Britain at night, and by day, it was beautiful. This is the Britain you love, and we understand why, and we love it too.
Yesterday is history, and tomorrow is a mystery, but Britain will always be Britain ā¤

I'm Dutch but I studied in Britain for a few years and I love your country. I've seen (and been shocked by) all of the things described in this song, but this is the first time I have ever seen it through a lens of beauty. The first time I was ever in a pub in the UK I saw a pregnant girl (she couldn't have been 20 yet) drinking beer and smoking cigarettes, I looked down on her, could only see the future she was damning her child to. Never before have I thought to look at a scene like this with a sense of love and kindness. It took me a few listens to this song before I understood this. Thank you Ren for giving me a new way of looking at your beautiful messy country.

When I hear Ren I think for the first time in my 48 years.. āThe kidsāll be alright.ā Youāre a special one Ren, your honesty, vulnerability, lyricism, musicianship itās connecting us all.. Iām sure you know the value and meaning of your name from an ancient Chinese philosophical perspective. Ren, virtue, humaneness, people.. Absolutely blown away by you mate. Thank you šā¤šāÆļø

Mate this just popped up in reels so headed here to hear the full version. Iām a 56 year old and loved and danced to Bittersweet Symphony when it came out. Iāve got goosebumps listening to this and your lyrics are beautiful . I absolutely love this. You got skills and I wish you all the success.

Much love to all of you!!! As always here's the lyrics for anyone who wants them! Iāve got dirt on my reeboks from staying out all night, I spent my last ten pounds on this pack of Marlborough Lights āØI called up Stevie, I said āG ,you alright?ā He said āItās six in the morning brother! Get some shut eye!ā I feel a sense of wellbeing this time in the morningāØ Wear my heart out on my hoodie while the city is snoring Drunks falling off the sidewalks get issued a warning Distant sirens they crescendo like a symphony calling This it the Britain I know This is the Britain I loveāØ Thereās poetry inside this city if you listen enough āØWorking class causalities out on the streets sleep rough While a mother with her baby takes her pram to the pub And while sheās knocking them down The cost of living goes up I canāt relate to politicians with their head in the mud I resonate with messy Fridays with the boys smoking bud We do our bit to numb the struggle, as below, so aboveāØ As as above, so below, here in the city we glow I blow a smoke ring up to heaven and it makes a halo And then the clock strikes seven, guess its time to head home My companion is the city, so Iām never alone Iām stepping in and out of gaps of the pavement cracksāØ and if I go to sleep now thatās an anti-climaxāØ People rise for work and the sun mirrors that A perfect juxtaposition for those out on the lash Bare with me, its beautiful āØI think its irrefutableāØ Thereās beauty in a contradicting Britainā¦āØindisputable Junkie in a cubicle, that old spoon is usable His motherās in a black suit, crying at a funeral Nine to five crucible, this route is not commutable A kid falls off the tracks and then he serves a stretch in Juvenal Libbies at the Doleys but her dispositions humourful While Daveyās at the bookies and his mates call him delusional Britain , drink it down and moan about the weather When the sun starts shining feel the factor 10 tremor Boys will boys, will be in it together Until the fists start flying like theyāre Connor Mcgreggor And then heās outā¦ I think he too took it too far I think the boy saw red āØI think he hit him to hard Now heās face down on the pavement with a face full of tar mad how small altercations can define who we are Thatās my cue! Think its time to head home, Its bitter sweet how my high found its way to be low And Iāve said it once before, as above, so below Living on the streets of Britain you just go with the flow But Iām doneā¦ Im out for the night, As the sun paints the pavements Iāll turn out the light White noise on the radio to quiet my mind Always was an over-thinker, just the way Iām designed Britain, drink it down and moan about the weather When its all said and done weāll be in it altogether Boys will be boys, will be like it forever Itās a bittersweet symphonyāØ Weāre birds of a feather
