yesss!!
I am - and I cannot take my eyes nor ears off this performance.
yup, revisit every few months !!
You better believe it
Reminded me of Davey Graham when he performed ( in the street) ;Cry Me A River'. Good stuff
That ambulance at the beginning I thought was some type of violin haha
It’s the violin in the hood lol
Me encanta Johnny y me sorprendió y me puso muy feliz que haya tocado en un lugar como este y en mi país.
Que país??
@@danielmaydana8169 yo quiero saber también!
@@kaleerose8968Argentina, esto es fue en palermo
😊
This song really brings it near!!!! Feeling that early morning Farmers Market vibe big time! :)
To me, the greengrocer saying that at the end was better than a crowd of ten thousand clapping.

SENSACIONAL! !alguém do Brasil aí? ?
Eu
Johnny en Argentina, me muero

[Verse 1]
Rob lived in a box by the rails
Only thing he knew is you don't fail
When you live in a box by the rails
Don't comb your hair, don't comb your tail
[Chorus]
Sweep my mess away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me nothing I don't need at all
Nothing I don't need at all
[Verse 2]
He ate from the bins, in the park
Stayed out with the rats after dark
Never left a trail, never made his mark
When he ate with the rats after dark
[Chorus]
Sweep my mess away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me nothing I don't need at all
Nothing I don't need at all
[Verse 3]
Calling on his friends never made him sad
Didn't want the things he never had
It only made them feel so sad
For having the things he never had
[Chorus]
Sweep my mess away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me nothing I don't need at all
Nothing I don't need at all
[Verse 4]
If you stay in that box overnight
And don't get out when it gets light
There's not much lost of the secret life
That's never done wrong and it's never done right
Now some more flowers grow
The corn gets eaten by a few more crows
And an old man's box is full of bones
Won't see his footprints in the snow
[Chorus]
Sweep my mess away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me nothing I don't need at all
Nothing I don't need at all
Sweep my mess away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me nothing I don't need at all
Nothing I don't need at all

Why isn't this on their Main Channel? Are there other gems out there somewhere?
I've found their VIMEO channel. Thanks
💙
Pur bijou!
La Blogotheque and Johnny Flynn makes a perfection combination :)
si ya te amaba ahora te amo más JF
somewhere in south america - apologies
Anyone knows if the riff at the beginning of the video comes from another Johnny's song?
Alguien sabe porque tienen videos grabados en Argentina?
That's the corner of Hackney Road & Mare Street
No way
I can't see it 🤔
💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕🇵🇪
Come to India
How can I see JF live?
Sadly he doesn’t tour much...not since Sillion came out. 2018 maybe was last US tour?
Since he just released a new album, maybe a chance he'll do some gigs next year?
Espinaca a cuánto?
Ya que estas hermano, no me das 1kg de manzanas? xD
I miss my ex :(
Same 😢
You should come to Peru
Apparently not....
