Johnny Flynn - Einstein's Idea

[@aumnom629]

I just watched him in the movie Emma, and something about his presence captivated me. It led me to his music and I can’t believe I never knew about this heavenly piece. Thank you Johnny.

[@zeeah4088]

Exactly how i got here!

[@rolanddeschain6089]

Likewise. I was totally baffled that some songs are already 5 or 10 years old and I had never heard of the man before. Why is this not an absolute shooting star and wins at all award shows? Some songs deserve ten times as many views.

[@juevebesgob8047]

Happened the same to me after seeing the English series "Lovesick" a couple of years ago.

[@myboyz9391]

He is wonderful

[@grazieperdone4959]

The same here 😃

[@johncarsone1579]

Johnny Flynn is a recent discovery of mine. Emma was my first experience. Since he is handsome,tall & British I did some research & discovered his music which I love. I think he would be a sensitive loving friend.

[@bluesideup7024]

I sing this to my two daughters and it’s the only thing that makes them sleep in my arms. Nothing can replace the power this song has to connect me with my babies. I sing it badly, but it soothes them like nothing else.

[@yoyo-naratu1515]

How beautiful, I'm sure they just love your singing x

[@user-mn1vz5ew7o]

@bluesideup. Brilliant mate, absolutely brilliant and your daughters will cherish your incredible love and devotion to them. Tremendous memories for you all.

[@scanzaroli]

Amazing! There such an earnest quality about him, acting and singing. I could watch and listen to him for hours.

[@Treebard]

Here in November 2024. This beautiful video is what's getting me thru Trump's reelection.

[@costanzatranchina6395]

A poet, an artist so handsome, humble, gentle with a pure hearth. I can feel it. Love him so deeply.

[@Charlie-ye2er]

a pure hearth... bloody good fireplace on the boy isnt it

[@pemayb9134]

Johnny seems like a very humble, caring and sensitive person...i hope to see and hear more from him😍

[@emmajb5915]

Johnny Flynn's music makes me feel young at heart...amazing talent. Netflix Lovesick brought me here.

[@jozefk7609]

What makes me smile is the fact, that this is Johnny Flynn singing for he's son and looking so so father-ish all of sudden. Such a different apparance from just a few years earlier.

[@Nina5144]

I’ve jut watched Johnny in Detectorists performing the theme tune on stage at the local pub folk night. Beautiful voice.

[@dymndiz69]

Long time fan of Johnny's. He's absolutely phenomenal live, both solo and with a full band. Humble, gracious and sweet as well.

[@simonidastankovic2627]

What lyrics, what a music, what a voice...and what a pure and gentle soul....of a true genuine country bard....Muses are with him

[@paulmccormack2532]

I am so glad I watched detectorists , I have found a true talented singer and song writer , I could listen to him all day .

[@CurlyWeiner]

+Paul Mccormack And that theme song is so good!

[@faybaker2477]

Come let's be gentle, be soft in my arms There's moonstorms been brewing and grain in the barns Your mother is sleeping, I'll play my guitar The twilight is keeping us close to the stars Here's where the stories live, here with the peace Oh the kindly ol' night wrapped warm in her fleece Oh dream up a hot day, oh dream and be full Of Orion, his bow, the plough and the bull Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Go trust in their strength for these are your friends And pledge in them now for their love knows no end The bull looks a meanie but he's on your side And he pulls the plough which comes and divides Put space in the heavens, Einstein's idea And he's your friend too, so nothing to fear Orion'll help there, his darts find the dark And all you need do is watch for his mark Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling The suns and the moons and the galaxies far Were cast from his bow before they were stars Oh and the gap in-between them is nothing to us Our eyes cut the distance as loving eyes must From me unto you son from dust unto dust Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling

I absolutely am in love with this song

[@mjm4ut]

Wow...that's raw and wonderful....hard to find good music on the radio nowadays...thanks Amazon for posting this guy in your $5 albums!!

[@nancynashmusic8196]

Johnny Flynn is still a very young man and will ultimately be well known and already is.. noone needs to be a superstar. If his muse is his mentor then he will always just be this... no fame necessary. The very best of muse'gicians have small followings. Their music is for them first.. this prolific writer and pleasing singer has decades of the road before him. Ups and downs and so it goes.

[@pmancer]

Did you copy paste this from somewhere? If not, well done.

[@vivienmakovik4119]

What a beautiful thing to write. He sings like he’s singing for himself and I can only just enjoy his amazing talent. Found him via The Detectorists so will look out for him.

[@wmperry2790]

Glad you said it- there are some odd hierarchical ideas of what success is out there in the hive mind. the idea that all musicians are more or less following in the wake of say, T. Swift or K. West and travelling in the same direction... uurrgghh how awful would that be?

[@smellylorenny]

your comment is so profound and a message rarely spoken. You're very correct. I hope people can agree with this! I do.

[@jbri1]

he's been on TV too. He's not exactly unknown.

[@katiecresswell230]

Just heard this guy for the first time in song one. I would happily listen to him all the time, and easy on the eye too

[@delorisa9209]

Its amazing when a song can bring peace and Happiness. This song does this for me, there is something sensational when it is just a person and their guitar, no technology or electronics. That is when the true artist shines.

[@boricuadelight]

his music and his voice just mesmerizes me. I hope I get to see him one day live in concert.

[@kirstenliggat898]

You definitely should! I saw him live a few months ago; absolutely one of the best gigs I have ever seen, so uplifting that I was buzzing for days afterwards, such an incredible band. (Also one of the most attractive men I've ever seen, may have contributed to the overall effect somewhat)

[@ruaidhrimarsh7354]

I saw him at GreenMan Festival UK last year, he was great. He's headlining the folkie section at BoomTown this year.

[@ruaidhrimarsh7354]

Kirsten Liggat Agreed, His sister wasn't so bad herself ;) Amazing singer as well

Check our other piecea...and masterpieces...such as "Country mike", "Detectorists", "Water" ...and many more....

[@Metal-Possum]

Folk music ain't dead, there's such a variety out there. I thought it was a time to be alive when I saw a Moon Pie in the Kwik-E-Mart, but then I discovered contemporary folk music.

[@Nesrine490]

This song is like a balm for the heart.

[@BeCoutoA]

this song breaks my heart into a million pieces. like i try to play the first chords on guitar and start crying, so i stop and go into a nightmare and i feel guilty because ... my god the melody's just pure and funcking beautiful. if YOU (and i mean YOU), for some reason, are listening to this song, just remember the nights looking the night sky while talking about the universe. slaap lekker, my darling

[@rossikins1]

One of his most beautiful songs without doubt.

I already loved the song, but watching this version just now gave me the intense feeling I've only had one other time watching a music video ~ the first time I saw Jeff Buckley's solo guitar close up version of Hallelujah. Just mesmerizing.

He's Apalachian Jack. He's the village Blacksmith in 1800 in a Barn in Dorset. He's entertaining the crew of a tall ship discovering far away lands and he's the boy in the trenches with the voice every soldier loves.

I've just had a similar journey to Aum Nom . . . I've just finished watching the 4th 'Emma' film (had it on the shelf for 6 months - do we really need another Emma Film . . .). I actually listened to the songs at the end, paid attention; I've never heard of Johnny Flynn, well I have now, just fantastic, Thank you, just beautiful Johnny

Ironic that he's singing about Einstein three and a half years before portraying him in "Genius." Johnny's performance in "Genius" is absolutely brilliant.

It took me a long time to realise the writer of the Detectorists theme tune and other great songs is also a brilliant actor.

Una vez, mientras tomaba un cafe, cerca de alguna avenida, miraba agonizar el sol. Me pregunté varias veces donde estabas. Se me presentó varias ideas en la cabeza que respetaban leyes de la fisica. Inmolé ese momento con un argumento vacio para pasar la pagina.

i am a fan of his movies, and series, especially The Outfit and Ridley. I suspect that if he plays his cards right, and gets the right backing, he may go far in film maybe even an academy award... not that that's everything, but a fresh presence sure would be nice next to all this so called star power being promoted. also, he has been working closely in live theater and film with Mark Rylance a unique actor who was well known only in english theater circles and surprisingly won an academy award a few years ago. Rylance is also a unique presence and was the main actor in my favorite film, Angels and Insects, relatively an unknown, and they both have similar earnest deliberate qualities.
