  1. Much love to all of you!!! As always here's the lyrics for anyone who wants them!

    I’ve got dirt on my reeboks from staying out all night,
    I spent my last ten pounds on this pack of Marlborough Lights
    
I called up Stevie, I said “G ,you alright?”
    He said “It’s six in the morning brother! Get some shut eye!”

    I feel a sense of wellbeing this time in the morning

    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 love

    There’s poetry inside this city if you listen enough
    
Working class causalities out on the streets sleep rough
    While a mother with her baby takes her pram to the pub

    And while she’s knocking them down
    The cost of living goes up
    I can’t 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 above


    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 I’m never alone

    I’m stepping in and out of gaps of the pavement cracks

    and if I go to sleep now that’s an anti-climax

    People rise for work and the sun mirrors that
    A perfect juxtaposition for those out on the lash

    Bare with me, its beautiful
    
I think its irrefutable

    There’s beauty in a contradicting Britain…
indisputable
    Junkie in a cubicle, that old spoon is usable
    His mother’s 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 Davey’s 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 they’re Connor Mcgreggor

    And then he’s out…
    I think he too took it too far
    I think the boy saw red 
I think he hit him to hard
    Now he’s face down on the pavement with a face full of tar
    mad how small altercations can define who we are

    That’s my cue!
    Think its time to head home,
    Its bitter sweet how my high found its way to be low
    And I’ve said it once before, as above, so below
    Living on the streets of Britain you just go with the flow

    But I’m done…
    Im out for the night,
    As the sun paints the pavements I’ll turn out the light
    White noise on the radio to quiet my mind
    Always was an over-thinker, just the way I’m designed

    Britain, drink it down and moan about the weather
    When its all said and done we’ll be in it altogether
    Boys will be boys, will be like it forever
    It’s a bittersweet symphony

    We’re birds of a feather

  2. The number of haters in the comments section is on the increase. Love it. A sign that Ren is really blowing up, his reach is increasing and as he glows more, more of them will be arriving (from my years of experience reading Internet comments – yes I think I am a bit of a masochist).

  6. When I hear Ren I think for the first time in my 48 years.. “The kids’ll be alright.” You’re a special one Ren, your honesty, vulnerability, lyricism, musicianship it’s connecting us all.. I’m 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 🙏❤🙏☯️
