I keep seeing videos of this musician and really like this clip of one of his songs❤️

https://youtube.com/shorts/QB-N76yd-00?si=jy2uzuWNmCxGCDFW (It's only 39 seconds long)

The lyrics for anyone that would rather read, but the sound is just so beautiful:

"Those billionaires, they're all the same.

They'll steal the clouds, and sell the rain.

The script is new, but the lies are old.

Make the poor, hate the poor, take the gold.

American nightmares, British dreams.

Either way the rich stay clean.

Where do you go, when you need to leave?

'cause you love the drums, but hate the beat."

    Thank you for sharing, it reminds me of this song Towa Bird - B.I.L.L.S. [Official Visualizer]

    I was reading about a British double-agent who defected to a socialist country

    He was an upper class gent by birth but had some liberal views… it's super interesting reading because he adored Britain and our traditions and "Britishness" but this kind of summed up how he explained how he was torn over leaving a country he adored but hated how it was run

    He ended up going to a country that was governed in a way that aligned with his views, but he ended up desperately missing "English" life, like English tea or watching cricket and I think sadly he became a recluse and died an alcoholic

    Especially this…
