It is such a good song, I am sorry to say you went so wrong with the video. I understand what you were trying to do but oh goodness, i would rather listen to the music and not watch the video
How degrading it must be for a musician to hear people say 'your music is beautiful' and in the same breath 'you are beautiful'. Yes, he is beautiful. But he's not a pin-up matinee boy-toy. He's that breath of fresh air when you come out of the London underground into the open. Stay down there and breathe in the fake, rushing air when you step off the tube - Lady Gaga and co - it feels nice but it's not real. Appearances mean NOTHING.
@StrangerToEarth Yeahh, I can only imagine the humiliation he must endure each and everytime he's complimented on his looks. I seriously doubt he cares that much?
It doesn't matter who he is, or could have been in life. The nobody on the street, the rock star, the pregnant mom...etc. He will always and only love her. It makes my heart hurt.
Johnny Flynn confirmed for Get Loaded In The Park, Clapham Common, London, July 12th 2011. Get involved, google 'Get Loaded In The Park' for more info!
my name is beau clark and i've been playing guitar for 6 months. I recently played a show at a coffee house in little milwaukie oregon and posted the video from the show of my cover as a video response which you accepted. I would just like to say that Johnny Flynn is one of my biggest inspirations musically and I would someday love the chance to play with him. If he were to ever see my video I would be eternally grateful.
I love his music every time I feel pointlessly rebellious, annoyed or just like smashing something I listen to his songs and it's like calm... but not sad. Like sitting by the fire... you know?
Excellent song! He'll have a great set at Electric Picnic!
If you like Johnny Flynn you might also like my music. I'm an alt-country songwriter based in the UK. Check out the vids on my profile and let me know what you think!
this song has become somewhat of a timeless drinking song for me and my friends. Without fail if we have a guitar with us this song with be sung by us. It is such a perfect song. An instant classic with affecting lyrics and a great groove to it. I saw Johnny again last night at the Electric Ballroom in London and it was so moving to hear this tune. It has become to the soundtrack to so much of my recent life and to hear everyone singing along was spine tingling!!
I saw him this monday at the Mumford and Sons concert, and I immediately fell in love with his voice. He is very talented & I'm so going to buy his album! Oh & this vid is great:)
yer... your getting major respect for saying that. your like one of those people who like radiohead just because it was on twilight.. actually you probably are one of those people.
And hey, just cause I found it because of rob pattinson doesn't mean that don't I truly like the song.. I'm just greatful for finding it so stop being such immature, selfish suckers and let everybody enjoy music without mocking them.. !!!!!
@mysistersnameis I'm sorry, I think it just got to me. I go to these folk gigs in and around London all the time and it's full of obsessive Twilight fans desperate to catch a glimpse of Robert Pattinson instead of actually going to see what great music on offer!
I love him. Saw him play a couple of years ago and he left such a lasting impression on me. Has anyone else noticed that he always incorporates food? Listen to his lyrics/song titles - cold bread, leftovers, flushed red apple skin, bacon rind, bread of christ etc..
@prufrocksong I'm sure there are a few extremist christians who'd say that the bread of christ is a bit more than food... more of a ticket to everlasting life :) Nice observation though..
johnny flynn actually came before fionn regan. don't get me wrong fionn regan is greatbut people like diane cluck and jeffery lewis are his influences.
definitely one of the best songs ever... i´m so much in love with johnny.... ♥ =) he´s not only cute, he´s a genius and i like that he´s so different from anything else... just awesome ♥
oooooo ur in trouble now tht u read this keep reading and something good will happen to u and if u don't the dark world will do very bad things to u A boy named Thomas was walking then he heard a noise in the woods He thought it was just a rabbit so he kept on walking then he saw a flash then died Now that u read this repost this on 10 different Youtube videos in less than 24 hours or you will see a bloody dirty face in the window and he will kill you with a knife HURRY u dont have much time
anyone find him weirdly attractive in that wig and rockstar outfit?xD
