I think its because it hints of a slower simpler way of life thats not quite gone, its just buried in our subconscious waiting for something or someone to bring it to the surface.
Jonathan Walker couldn't agree more about it being the best show ever and the music throughout adds to its ambiance. I absolutely love detectorists and hate that I can ever again watch it for the first time.
'Detectorists' was the only thing worth watching on terrestrial tv last year - and this song made an already beautiful show absolutely sublime. Tracked the muscian down because of this tune and now a massive fan.
Vivien Collins I agree. Watched season 3 on a long haul flight and had to be mindful not to wake other passengers as a pissed myself laughing. Beautiful ending as well.
ottoswinebar I've also become a huge fan of Johnny Flynn's music (he wrote and sings the theme tune - unfortunately he's concentrating on the acting these days... a wasted talent).
In love with the show. Quirky, well written, great acting. Fell in love with the theme song. Such depth. And have since fallen in love with Johnny Flynn's music.
His voice is so moving and deeply traditionally English. Johnny is a very gifted man, I think. Thanks to Detectorists for bringing him to my attention.
I know its a great show, fantastic acting and seriously good writing, but why does this song touch me so deeply?
@Private it's not gone, you just need to look for it, the same way the location scouts did
@@formzino I think it's a gone time

Yes, the melody is redolent of a long ago forgotten folk tradition which is so fundamental in our musical subconscious, collective memory almost. ❤
Detectorists the best show ever, but it wouldn't be the same without this tune. Nice one.

Same here. Can’t get enough of him singing or acting.
I found Johnny Flynn through this show and am forever thankful. It is also my favourite TV show, totally and utterly brilliant.

Glad to see he learned to play standing up.
Beautiful. The sound of England soul.
Makes me proud to be a detectorist 😁
I am french and fell in love with this show

I wonder was this commissioned by Mackenzie Crook or did it already exist? It is a magnificent song and performance by Johnny Flynn. Superb. ❤❤❤

There seems to have been another closing verse sung at the close of their last episode of season 3.
Eagerly awaiting Season 3 to hit here in the US, due next week--can't wait!
