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
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 And free At peace In body and heart Finally A real Moveable feast For me to move For my release
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
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.
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
@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.
@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.
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.
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.
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

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!

First time hearing this, and I can't agree more!
@@ramonaschober600me too....
classic, classic voice. keeps me from missing the old folk legends from the 60s-70s.
Flynn needs to put out a stripped down live album. We'd all buy it! This song sounds wonderful...
The recent Roundhouse show was recorded and will be released as an album
Yeah, he's at his best with less clutter. Not that clutter is always bad.
Seven years later, and I am thinking the same thing, come on Johnny, a solo acoustic album please.
He already has. It’s Live in Washington
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💗
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.
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!!❤️🙏❤️
sings like an angel xo
brought here by the Detectorist theme and loving the music from this guy. wow
you should watch lovesick on netflix. he starts in it and it's a GREAT series.
So so so so so good
Me too man 👍
get the album been listening its amazing
I could stay listening to him all day.
He makes me feel the way he feels when he’s singing. ❤️
I just can't get enough of this dude. What a wicked talent , this guy!
i remember when this video had only 10 likes and 85 views
Johnny Flynn is up there with another of my musical heroes, one Roy Harper, both great songsmiths.
Lovely lovely lovely
Piękno, prostota, naturalność ❤
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
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!
Absolutely one of my favorite songs! Please keep making music!
wow they could all look alot happier to be there hahaha they all look bored! that was flipping amazinggg
Today the best lyricist died, this fella has skills. God bless Leonard.
Jim Laver jesus fuck I thought you were going to say Johnny died
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!
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
And free
At peace
In body and heart
Finally A real
Moveable feast
For me to move
For my release
Johnny ,dreamy deep blue eyes ,dreamy soft full lips,strong folksy voice,what,s not to love, marry me Johnny please
He's married sadly
He performs really well, I hope I get to see him some day.
This is beautiful! He can do no wrong.
What a talent...
i love this song so much (:

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

God created the heavens and the earth and said 'it is good'...God created Johnny Flynn and said...hot damn! this is amazing!! :)
Damn, this is beautiful.
This song is so beautiful.

Reading this I thought: He's coming to The Netherland?! :O
Then I saw your comment was three years old...
One day I'll see him live :)
KungFooZombie 30 oktober😊
bravooooo
This is just lovely
Just amazing
This is just awesome.
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
What a talent, beautiful boy. Look now, January 2021, how finally he is all 'in the news'. Stay true Johnny. X X
'THEY' Dont want young people to be inspired. THEY being the system. Have you listened to mainstream music lately. :)
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.
He does it fo us
And for himself
To try to keep it all somewhat
Real and true
I just don't understand how every single person there isn't completely transfixed.
so perfect
Super!!!
WONDERFUL!
Ohh my, mr. flynn, you're quite fantastic!
He is soooo great. #inlovewithJohnnyFlynn
I actually get goosebumps when I listen to this, in a good way :)
Aussi beau qu un poème de Rimbaud de la pure poésie
Tout á fait !
woah, that a lot of people ! :)
awesome song!
this is brilliant
very good
new album new album new album wooo!
So true good sir
Tune
Further from you now than the roots from the leaves.
Here is a reminder for today!
@Loumeister21 He did a tour of Ireland, and i seen him in Cavan and Belfast, one night after another, he was amazing.
very good :)
F**king awesome....beautiful sound, really soothing for a Christmas night.... perfect, thanks for the solution ;-)
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
Brill!
Hey Johnny where’d you get those shoes 👞? 2:16
They are Dr Martens crazy horse boots
The album version has a strange reggae like bass and drum line. This is so much better. I wish it were on Spotify.
Marbles I find him much better live and raw (that sounds like I want to eat him, I kinda do as well 😍😂)
I only discovered him last year when I saw him in the movie, "Song One", purchased the soundtrack and started researching his music.

almost forgot to listen to this today.... phew!
MUITO BOM MESMO

@MisterLoveFox Hmm you make a good point actually - hadn't considered that
💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖
@nwardezir777 and so is his guitar ! :P
@draconius25 Or they're all big names in the British folk scene so they unsurprisingly met through that.
Can someone please tell me where I can get those boots
@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.
Anybody know what he's done to the guitar with all of the tape, and the lead coming out of nowhere?
Sweet Hemingway quote
Marry me? :)
😄
@draconius25 specially marcus
@draconius25 Don't forget Charlie Fink
with the wuuurlds if you,n so so sqAURE.BUT THE wiiisrst bed, slowly sleeps towards the coadtal hants like us all ]
its a a-sheerab-so-aquatuc. so may as well go for it
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.
jaja I know!
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.
When there’s music and songwriting like this in our day and age.... WHO THE FUCK LISTENS TO DRAKE???
what boots is he wearing!??? i really want a pair!!!!!
i want to be just like him... and i am a woman hahah
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
Tabs anyone?
This man is not of this world
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. (:
That awkward moment when you're the only one to dislike a youtube video. #foreveralone
Ok who the hell disliked this. Seriously?
@TheGreatWolfFenrir hahah...did I make a coment on this one? :)
@hellofromjoebot because thats not how he rolls and more intimate venues are nicer anyway :)
He's also an actor...
