Johnny Flynn - The Wrote & The Writ

[FucklyDuckly]

the men wish they were him, and the women wish he was inside of them. It's a fact. Just look at them, they're all sold.

[jfighterpilot]

Flannel! But seriously, flannel. Flynn is king.

[thefizziestone]

Father my children.

[BoxRhymeswithRed]

what an enthusiastic crowd haha

[olivia1910]

I want to be the microphone... Yes because he is incredibly beautiful ^^, but also, I could hear his voice better <3 haha

[BoricuaDelight]

this to me, though I know for him it's about something else, but for me it's about someone who is all words and a heartbreaker and thus never good on their promises. love this song

[videmusart]

that is my future husband, i shall have you know.

[Marlens93]

Johnny bloody Flynn is right in front of you and you are fixing your hair?! Damn what's wrong with you people?!

[juliefactorial]

brilliant song. plus he's...really pretty :)

[baybeehanhan]

ooooft.

[LivesOnStars]

He's singing in front of the panties. LOL. But I still want to see him live once.

[jakobie242]

@iceonaboy It's actually resonator, completely different sound

[ohemmalee]

is his guitar strap made out of shoelaces?

he is absolutely marvellous :)

[illhelpMiffy]

I'm in love.

[AnnziiLovesMusic]

Oh for God's sake, they're seeing Johnny Flynn live and up-close - they could at least *smile*!

Oh no wait, they're pretentious 'indie kids' - they're not allowed to. Far too mainstream, is smiling. =/

That aside, this is brilliant, I am in love with Johnny and his wonderful music <3

[iceonaboy]

If you want that sound, why the fuck play an acoustic guitar? Love it though!

[jakobie242]

@iceonaboy It's actually resonator, completely different sound

[707claireR]

He is the most talented man alive. Swear down <3

[dupeblaaaa]

i wish i was that microphone

[SimpleAyu]

totally adore him

[neoalley]

I'd go to that store thousands times just to see him in person. 

[Mcmotherfuckingrory]

Looks like some people were so overcome by Johnny's ethereal voice that they mistook the 'dislike' button for 'like' :3

[marcreevesmusic]

awesome, saw him live not long ago and he was amazing! I make similar music myself, if anyone fancies checking out some new music :)

[vssquirrel]

what a beautiful, beautiful man he is

[jaybowcott]

this is sick, nice shitty tone on the guitar

[Linedenktnach]

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh, super guy

[Furtuzh]

raaaaaaaaawww, nice guy

[kiwigirl2008]

the crowd was super enthusiastic, eh?

[whathelephant1251]

@kiwigirl2008 they're too busy shopping for their super cool, super indie bullshit. at bullshit prices.

[Zeclan48]

My two favorite things: 1) Urban Outfitters

2) Johnny Flynn

:)

[ddfan4life]

I'm seeing him tonight in Baltimore. He's touring now!

[eeeeellaaaaa]

oh god, i love him.

[catcoy]

interviewed him earlier tonight, really nice guy, very soft spoken! pleasure to meet him!

[hermes2501]

Johnny Flynn does tour the states. He performes regularly at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. as well as other venues. (I agree he's got the pretty, he's also an actor). He has his own web site that will tell you about his tour schedule. -- good luck

[hugh9mac]

@hermes2501 whats he acted in?

[petercarbopivoter]

Could you post the words, please?

[urbanoutfitterscouk]

Hi

Sorry we don;t have permission to re-publish the lyrics, but I'm sure if you just search on Google you'll find them.

[Hoohaa61]

@urbanoutfitterscouk i don't think it is a problem to post lyrics...:) they are available all over on line...no one especially Johnny...and or Transgresive records would mind...:) share the love! :)

[squiggles12123]

he turned me gay ...

[wenigoosestep]

I know there is no point in saying this, again, but not only is his music fantastic, he is quite possibly the most adorable guy ever.

[bringyermaw]

he's the love of my life

[IndieRock0]

LONDON FOLK FOREVER XD

[madmadhatterful]

[KateRage00]

It is amazing, how cute he is and how good his singing is. He's just perfect.

[ILUVNY1994]

[crissa0512]

[TheyLostEyes]

Yeah, I HAVE to meet him!! He's fantastic :)

[gillybeeful]

id just love to meet him..

[dieLarkundMusik]

Just want to grab and kiss him. Even if I'd be there I wouldn't though because I'd want to keep listening to his music. That's how grand he is.

[bobjohnson513]

Okay, this is exceptionally random, but does anyone else notice in the "related videos" section, if you look at the screenshots, there are two videos of Johnny Flynn- The Wrote and the Writ. In both of them, he's wearing the same flannel shirt as he is in this one. Maybe this is his Wrote & the Writ shirt.

[dukeunicorn]

its a good thing :_

[rammybaws]

his cassocks not clean!

[TheThroney]

i dont fee like opening another window to look that word up, so, what's a cassock? lol

[shamusandstone]

A monk's robe.

[spunkpattz]

[mco130]

[LilDancingAngel1]

[lbpwoodard]

He's so deep, and adorable. :)

[rhabarbermann]

[kvoc]

[bexsullie]

[Timati21]

[Emazed21]

I wish Johnny and Larua would come do a show in America!

[lanquide]

[xflashahh]

[bigchief3009]

[Jackinfe]

=)

[Queues1]

Im soo going to see him at Glastonbury

[CharlotteM1c4on1l4]

Where is he performing? ... love this music

[garancevn]

OMG this video is the first one i saw with him! it's why i wanted to buy his album even if i live in Switzerland!!!o my god, he's so perfect!

[kyle321123321123321]

wow man. this is good!

[CaptainAcousticJack]

This is one of my most favourite songs ever :)

[nosuchhappyending]

adoration! i swear to god, this song has made me fall in love with him. it's ridiculous how good this song is!

LOVE the line "promises look good on paper, especially from you, from you" couldn't tell you why that is, but i just LOVE it!

[Feliiiiciiiiityyy]

lovely :)

[ohmydarlinclemintine]

is anybody else in love with him?

[garancevn]

no, you're not the only one...^^i am too!..

[gnrosie]

yep he is amazing and soo gorgous!!! My brother has met him,,, so unfair!

[ohmydarlinclemintine]

that is unfair ha ha..

yes he absolutely beautiful

sensitive, musically talented and dashing... what more could a girl ask for?

[cuteekk]

intelligence x] he's got that aswell ;P

[nexislex]

He was in an episode of Kingdom, just before he got famous. He was the son of the car salesman. Had a guitar, but didn't play it. Maybe it was edited out.

[dunnoTbh]

OMG, i saw him in Covent Garden a couple months ago. Wish i had seen him perform though. I didn't even know that he was!

[frangels8]

I was in London 2 months ago. Y am I so unlucky??? *cry*

[dunnoTbh]

Blimey. I feel your pain. Only i think mine's more intense because i live here and i still managed not to hear a thing about him performing in UO.

[CrackerOaks]

he looks like the lead singer of Juke Box the Ghost now that i think about it...

i loove johnny flynn ♥

[Birdmountain]

When I first heard this song, I thought it was an old man singing xD

[imsoflip14]

he is HOT! hearing his voice you wouldnt think he looked that way. hes really awesome.

[13mariette]

love this

[Ghost77Riders]

Good singing my boy! GR77 of Alberta Canada

[goggleitright]

I'm not sure but I saw an interview of Rob and he said he would give his friend's (Johnny) CD as a gift to someone.

So, he confirmed they're friends.

[FlamingMarshmallow1]

it's definitely rob pattinson. look at him playing Brown Trout Blues because you can see him better in that

[Dais74]

That definitely ain't Rob Pattinson.

Rob and Joe maybe don't even know each other..

And why the hell would Rob be standing in Covent Garden listening to Johnny?

[SmytheMum]

I just received my copy of "A Larum" the other day - finally. WOW!! What a talent! He not only sings, he writes ALL the songs AND he plays all sorts of instruments!! His sister Lillie has a really nice voice as well and is singing on several of his songs here. Talented family - they remind of the Rankin Family from eastern Canada in their sound and style. Certainly someone to keep an eye on. I'm going to keep a look out for the next time he comes to Hamilton, Ontario - Canada.

[xflashahh]

doesn't play all the instruments. he's sometimes known as johnny flynn and the sussex band. sussex wit are his backing band if you will, playing cello and bass and stuff, and i think lillie plays the violin. johnny plays the trumpet though

[vamosrafa07]

johnny plays the violin as well.

[xflashahh]

sorry, johnny flynn and the eussex wit. damn not being able to edit comments!

[bringyermaw]

i think i love him

[stararmor]

I'm kind of in love with him.

[twilightrobertfan]

i heard that robert pattinson, kristen stewart and nikki reed liked Laura Marling.

and robert is friends with johnny fylnn so i just had to see what they were like.

AMAZING.

[xxMajorKey]

THEY'RE FRIENDS?! They look like the friggin same person!!

I love both dudes by the way

[503510]

beatifull song!

i dont understand what is it about though...

i thought maybe its about someone who suicide?

[harrypotterxc]

I Wish I WAS that MICROPHONE. i am obsessed with johnny. god i love him and his music. he has such talent and such a way of performing

[SmytheMum]

Notice Rob Pattinson in light blue T-shirt in front to Johnny's right? Bet none of the girls there realized Rob was there watching his buddy. Johnny's music is great - I'll be picking up A Larum a.s.a.p. Maybe on his next album he could do a duet with Rob since Rob doesn't want to put out an album at this time just to cash in on Twilight fame - too bad. Would love to hear Johnny and Rob together.

[diddle56]

I'm afraid I really don't think thats Rob...it doesn't look anything like him! And I'm sure if he was, people would've realized :) I completely agree with the rest of what you said tho!

[SmytheMum]

There are other clips from the same performance of different songs that Johnny is singing. Rob's there too. If you watch closely the mannerisms & facial expressions are the same as I've seen in his interviews or other informal/relaxed clips. Plus he has the bedhead hair (before he got his new do).

[diddle56]

huh, I'll have to look at the other clips :)

[diddle56]

well I've just looked at the others and I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree, I really don't think its him. but whatev, its the music that matters!

[SmytheMum]

Too bad we couldn't ask Rob himself, huh. I do agree the music is great - I am awaiting delivery of Johnny's "A Larum" any day now. Have you listened to the clips of Rob singing?  He's great too, but somewhat less confident in himself I think.

[diddle56]

Yea I have, hes really great too! Verryy different style, and you're right, less confident of himself. But I guess thats because he doesn't want to seem the usual kind of 'im going to use my movie fame to launch music' thing. I do love them both very much :)

[RachelV124]

Are you saying that the guy in light blue is Robert pattinson?????

[SmytheMum]

Yup! I'm really good at catching people's mannerisms and am sure it's Rob, but "diddle56" disagrees. Check out some of the other clips for yourself and see what you think.

[thumbelinaaaaaaa]

Sorry, but it's really not him. You're paranoid.

[sterorse]

what guy in light blue? the only person i saw in light blue is definitely NOT rob!

[jodijsof]

uhh..im afraid it is :)

[Callaz3]

shame that he played in urban outfitters though..

[vamosrafa07]

I watch this everyday.

Too good.

[pingii508]

I just got A Larum. It is fantastic.

[Maka1993]

Ok then. If he can't come here, then I'm going to England. Anyone up for a trip? ;]

I love his music too much. I know. It's a disease I don't want to be cured of.

[maya6750]

me! oh my god me. i would do anything to go to a concert. i love him.

[andbahar]

oh my..

i am completely OBSESSED with johnny flynn

and he's the most gorgeous guy.. i love the line "Your blood's between the pages, and I can't stand to see you bleed." too...

i cant stop listening either..

but my favourite is his song, wayne rooney..

fucking MINDBLOWING...

[crazyjoker11291]

amazing. cant stop listening.

[jerosesavant]

i can't stop listening to this. hard to find his music here in faraway asia. he looks cute from this angle (side profile, i mean) :)

I love the line: "Your blood's between the pages, and I can't stand to see you bleed."

[missstepsel007]

*-*

[jfshgfiwskdvgie]

i saw him to days ago , in frankfurt ,

i think he is realy amazing !

[natstaylor6687]

He is just so amazing...what a talent this beautiful man has.

Great song Johnny!

[NATASHAredhead]

come to washington state!

i luv you

ur gr8

[uprich]

hes adorable.

[eponaswings]

His music is lovely, he's british, and he's freaking HOT. <33

[vamosrafa07]

Indeed!!

[giantlawnmower]

I was there!

Really good set... amazing how much noise can come from one man and his guitar.

[briannafreaco]

isn't he the same guy who acts in crusade in jeans, he's amazing i love the song

[PunkCabaretDoll]

yup, that's him in the movie.

[comfortablypink94]

Reminds me of a young Bob Dylan

[Sezzie86]

Aren't he & Laura dating? She's absolutely amazing as well!

[gazzaBOY92]

he cant be that poor hes touring the US now with laura marling..

[mntomlin]

Why won't he come to Minnesota? I'm begging JOHNNY COME TO MINNESOTA!!! I want to see him live SO bad!

[ohmydayzy]

It might have something to do with him being a poor musician who lives in England and can barely afford a tour of london

[skate3333]

he actually went to Minneapolis

[Alexryanthebestryan]

Seeing as I've met him on two occasions, when coming into the office. I wouldn't say he was poor as he was promoting a US tour and getting his Vias, silly ignorant fellow.

[jaz887]

haha he looks like he's about to burst out laughing!

[Jackinfe]

This Is My Favorite Song By Him.

<3

[midge3030150]

johnny flynn is awesome!!! seen him live and he is great :)

[MGDavies4375]

I've been looking at a load of his videos hoping one of 'em makes it easy to see what he's doing. I've got a couple of chords worked out for Leftovers, but if anybody knows what he's up to in this one, or any other one that'd be muchly appreciated. That's the problem with new artists ;) There's no horribly inaccurate tab on the internet.

[devaney12345]

one of the best artists i've heard in a very long time.

and te only artist i've ever seen play live 3 times in one day!

[amanualgearbox]

this song is amazing, i also rate the album very high so everyone who likes folk or blues, get it!

[Evannalove]

Love this song :)
