[@mtrps_]

revisiting this after 10 years and im in love, again.

[@sophieanastasiacollins2022]

Hands down my absolute favorite performance of this beautiful song. I can't imagine an alternative version that could surpass it. Folk rock on, Johnny!

[@agata2604]

it's amazing how there is a real man with a voice like that writes songs like that... his whole image is like honey for my heart. makes me believe in the good, and makes the happy dreams realistic... Thank you.

[@ramonaschober600]

First time hearing this, and I can't agree more!

[@simonidastankovic2627]

​@@ramonaschober600me too....

[@18Tonks]

classic, classic voice. keeps me from missing the old folk legends from the 60s-70s.

[@jackchild3109]

Never gets old!...so beautiful so timeless!!!...special man....beautiful inside & out!...to me this is real music, love this lad with my heart & soul, Johnny u are a real talent & such a gem!!❤️🙏❤️

[@pemayb9134]

He looks so handsome here😍 still he is...wish i knew about him before, his voice is just so good, you don't want him to stop singing💗

[@honyjohan4998]

sings like an angel xo

[@dylancaldwell9822]

Flynn needs to put out a stripped down live album. We'd all buy it! This song sounds wonderful...

[@treatmegently3279]

The recent Roundhouse show was recorded and will be released as an album

[@inoshikachokonoyarobakayar2493]

Yeah, he's at his best with less clutter. Not that clutter is always bad.

[@themoons7291]

Seven years later, and I am thinking the same thing, come on Johnny, a solo acoustic album please.

[@lisawarrington9277]

He already has. It’s Live in Washington

[@thicketwings05]

and the worst and best of all we knew, stayed out to rust in the morning dew. i need to be serenaded by this guy.

[@inessamaria2428]

I could stay listening to him all day.

[@afran7855]

He makes me feel the way he feels when he’s singing. ❤️

[@audiguy203]

brought here by the Detectorist theme and loving the music from this guy. wow

[@camillemarie8147]

[@liammccarthy6592]

[@KieranDacey]

[@catnipkip]

[@themoons7291]

Johnny Flynn is up there with another of my musical heroes, one Roy Harper, both great songsmiths.

[@channaimbuldeniya6327]

Lovely lovely lovely

[@kellymcgeoghegan2917]

Absolutely one of my favorite songs! Please keep making music!

[@jimlaver5200]

Today the best lyricist died, this fella has skills. God bless Leonard.

[@AAAAAMMM]

Jim Laver jesus fuck I thought you were going to say Johnny died

[@makafeke]

I don't understand how not to love this so damn much. Gosh, I am so blessed to hear music such as this. THANK YOU JOHNNY!

[@crazycat56b]

wow they could all look alot happier to be there hahaha they all look bored! that was flipping amazinggg

[@bybliks]

Lyrics I met Jane in September's throw January's grass, we let each other go I met Helen on March's back She took my coat and she stole my hat I met you when the weather got fine You said 'I've got yours if you've got mine And the worst and best of all we knew Stayed out to rust in the morning dew Didn't take long to sing our love Was a harvest feast, was a hand to glove When winter came you couldn't stand to sit You just the same never burnt but lit With a world at war and my thoughts on you I didn't care to fall, there wasn't much to do And the worst and best of all we knew Stayed out to rust in the morning dew Churlish May when the year was fair Gone full circle when things went square Ate my meal an un-noble beast Left me to pay not a movable feast Look I got nothing, dunno where I am Got a fistful of questions, not an answer to hand And the worst and best of all we knew Stayed out to rust in the morning dew Morning dew With a blow me down the road, dead in the wood Further from you now, then the roots from the leaves Drunk on the wood, never seen any trees My ore's out the water and the lake that I'm sailing Is your dear father's daughter and it's cold and I'm ailing Are you drowning me slowly, was the school meant to teach Are you leaving so slowly, where's the shore, where's the beach? And the worst and best of all we knew Stayed out to rust in the morning dew

[@pickledOnionGal]

i love this song so much (:

[@pickledOnionGal]

still love him and this song :D

[@ddfan4life]

This is beautiful! He can do no wrong.

[@TraceNspace76]

He performs really well, I hope I get to see him some day.

[@xSpikesChannelx]

1 second of hearing this and fell In love with this song.

[@VasilisBotoulas]

Just goes to show that there is great talent out there shutting the mouths of all those who say otherwise. Great initiative guys, thank you!

[@kirstykustard]

I actually get goosebumps when I listen to this, in a good way :)

[@RebeccaPierce]

God created the heavens and the earth and said 'it is good'...God created Johnny Flynn and said...hot damn! this is amazing!! :)

[@magorzataklikowicz6183]

Piękno, prostota, naturalność ❤

[@brucedenithorne2405]

This song is so beautiful.

[@joe_diamond_walsh]

i'm curious as to why he''s still playing in reasonsabl small venues with audiences such as this, who, quite frankly, don't seem that bothered. Why is he not selling out arenas and playing in huge venues where the crowd know every word of every song? I just think he should be considerably more famous than he is, given his talent

[@alisoncotton9087]

What a talent, beautiful boy. Look now, January 2021, how finally he is all 'in the news'. Stay true Johnny. X X

[@skanskar]

'THEY' Dont want young people to be inspired. THEY being the system. Have you listened to mainstream music lately. :)

[@ToAllWhomItMayConcern]

He's playing a young Anthony Hopkins now, in a heroic biopic, of a legendary man. Among legendary men....and woman. This comment aged perfectly.

[@aftermath66699]

He does it fo us And for himself To try to keep it all somewhat Real and true

[@ddfan4life]

His talents contiunes to both shock and amaze me.

[@SashankShivakumar]

Damn, this is beautiful.

[@aftermath66699]

Gave most of my heart a away over the years In little Bits and parts Now an old man Who's lost in body and mind Trapped a by a selfish fire Burning everything up It's not because of being so physically weak Its not being a helping caring fool That keeps me blue That was a big part of my hearts greatest feats Nothing here lasts anymore and Nothings true So these days i smoke and smoke Between medications sleepy nods Always feeling sick If only i could help someone a stranger no matter who Just give a hand To lighten the load their carrying I'd scream and cry feeling so happy In body and heart Finally A real Moveable feast

[@bernadettejackson2665]

Johnny ,dreamy deep blue eyes ,dreamy soft full lips,strong folksy voice,what,s not to love, marry me Johnny please

[@ruthking5994]

He's married sadly

[@amygomez1358]

[@SimonPeggIsMyHero]

Further from you now than the roots from the leaves.

[@simonr.l9249]

bravooooo

[@jayloo]

I just don't understand how every single person there isn't completely transfixed.

[@LexHills1]

F**king awesome....beautiful sound, really soothing for a Christmas night.... perfect, thanks for the solution ;-)

[@alisoncotton9087]

Listening to this pure song this Christmas Eve 2021. Always just keep coming back around to Johnny Flynn. Simple and affecting. Joy to the world. X

[@zuludawn8474]

very good

[@mspeelmeagrape]

Marry me? :)

[@soohyunpark4609]

😄

[@moronextraordinnaire]

I only discovered him last year when I saw him in the movie, "Song One", purchased the soundtrack and started researching his music. I hope as he gets older and more seasoned he might write at least a few songs that transcend personal experience and speak more to universal themes...or maybe I'm just not intelligent enough to understand some of his lyrics. They have beautiful imagery either way.

[@auroracandy5466]

moronextraordinnaire I think "The Wrote And The Writ" is a good example of when he sings and writes from personal experience and a universal theme. I just thought I'd recommend it on the off chance you haven't heard that one :) x

[@MegaDjtv]

So true good sir

[@rhestephens]

very good :)

[@amygomez1358]

almost forgot to listen to this today.... phew!

[@Galdring]

The album version has a strange reggae like bass and drum line. This is so much better. I wish it were on Spotify.

[@BeeLZBeeb]

Marbles I find him much better live and raw (that sounds like I want to eat him, I kinda do as well 😍😂)

[@gardda3675]

Brill!

[@michellemartin9096]

Aussi beau qu un poème de Rimbaud de la pure poésie

[@simonidastankovic2627]

Tout á fait !

[@clachtoll88]

@reFused1985 So all people that like dubstep don't like folk? I must go away and rethink my whole opinion of music. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

[@mikeyfoxo]

@Loumeister21 He did a tour of Ireland, and i seen him in Cavan and Belfast, one night after another, he was amazing.

[@nattyb3]

@harrywhoyou Apologies, if I wasn't clear enough. What I mean is, how has he wired it up? I can't see the pickup, would he have taped a piezo to the inside or something? I've got something similar to his amped tone at the moment, using a contact mic on my acoustic, and using a low level of overdrive on my amp.

[@pedroromano73esporte]

MUITO BOM MESMO

[@pr0ct3r0]

Tune

[@nickfernandez7563]

Hey Johnny where’d you get those shoes 👞? 2:16

[@jamespatching2134]

They are Dr Martens crazy horse boots

[@joe_diamond_walsh]

@MisterLoveFox Hmm you make a good point actually - hadn't considered that

[@whales]

it's not enough that the kid was born good looking? he win's the voice lottery too? it's just not fair i tell you. he's probably really good at basketball too.

[@writeon1213]

jaja I know!

[@william4661]

You should realise that no one is good looking. Because even if you are considered 'attractive' according to beauty ideals, you've been used to it because you've been in your body all your lfie since birth. So it's not special to you yourself. And people reminding you look attractive according to beauty ideals, are just telling you they can't see you for the human you are. Kind-hearted "ugly" people, and kind-hearted "beautiful" people suffer the same way: No one sees them for who they truly are, and we all keep that bullshit going by projecting our own sadness onto someone else's ugliness or beauty. Either with insults or compliments.

[@settledowntherejessi]

im thirteen, and really sorry for what my generation has done to music. just have hope that there are some of us that listen to real music. (:

[@leonorsuarezognio9177]

💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖

[@nattyb3]

Anybody know what he's done to the guitar with all of the tape, and the lead coming out of nowhere?

[@boygaking]

Can someone please tell me where I can get those boots

[@nwardezir777]

This man is not of this world

[@Uaretheonlyexception]

That awkward moment when you're the only one to dislike a youtube video. #foreveralone

[@thistlemunch]

@draconius25 Or they're all big names in the British folk scene so they unsurprisingly met through that.

[@nickfernandez7563]

When there’s music and songwriting like this in our day and age.... WHO THE FUCK LISTENS TO DRAKE???

[@MegaDjtv]

Ok who the hell disliked this. Seriously?

[@aftermath66699]

Sweet Hemingway quote

[@RebeccaPierce]

@TheGreatWolfFenrir hahah...did I make a coment on this one? :)

[@alexBo17]

@nwardezir777 and so is his guitar ! :P

[@nixonpunk222]

I can listen to dubstep in short segments but theres nothing quite like folk and bluegrass

[@AlasILoveFolk]

[@sounsure9108]

Hannah Ely I hope you figured out that they are bludstones by now, I have had them for 17 years , a friends mom had them then now there as thick on the ground at high school and university as birks
