This song has ALWAYS resonated with me, from day one. It’s just taken on another level of emotion for me as I’ve sat & REALLY watched this video properly… The soft toy Johnny is playing with with the baby is exactly the same orangutan toy that we bought my grandfather donkeys years ago & was named “Pops”. Pops now lives with my parents & watches over my dad who is bed ridden with frontal temporal dementia. I’m crying tears of both sadness & joy as I write this 🥹
This raw, resonant music has the quality of a ancient purifying ritual, to reignite the spirit of life inside a devastated heart. I have lived with depression for over 35 years, and while getting myself together I lost my Mum to secondary cancer just over a year ago. She died on the birthday of my late eldest brother who died suddenly after an incurable brain illness in 2018 aged 59. I lost our dear Dad 9 1/2 years ago. My remaining half brother moved 5 hours away to build his dream, but is also isolated and heartbroken. After staring down the loneliness of Covid lockdowns with no close friends within the restricted 5km radius, and having to find a new job, all while living with complicated grief and coming to terms with the fact that at 46 I was completely alone, left holding the remains of my family of origin who have all now gone, and having no children or partner of my own to share anything with. Once again I'm feeling completely bewildered by life, and push through heartache every day. This gorgeous song tells me that it is possible, somehow, to courageously raise the spirit of life after loss.. that it's an act of defiance to claim the right to survive and to dream about a future in this world, despite the pain that went before, and continues now, and to find and amplify the beauty we find in it if we have the heart to still recognise it. Like in this song, may many kindred spirits past shine the light.
dear Ann, I am also fighting depression. I get it, death, illness, isolation - but there also sounds like a glimmee of hope in your note, sending you warmth & love from an old hippie in the US. I have to admit, thinking of the sweet, talented Johnny Flynn easily raises this 'ole woman from the dead. Hugs🤗🥰
@@dreed1058 thank you Donna. How beautiful to share connection through music. Something in this song gives strength.. I hope things get better for you too 🥰🌹
It is a wonderful testament to this lovely song that the lyrics and melody touched you. I hope you genuinely feel much better and that God touches and heals your broken spirit...sending love...
Oh, my heavens. The LYRICS and the music. I love this song. It speaks to me of a simpler, earthier way to think of loved ones who are gone, even if in traumatic ways. Thank you, Johnny Flynn.
Thank you for being a source of light. Your songs have helped me dig deeper through my son‘s cancer treatment, a d today my father took his last breath after listening to your song raising the dead
Very rarely do I hear a voice that is as beautiful as Johnny Flynn’s! I would love to sing with you; if only I was much younger and had bumped into you back in the day when my life was still all in front of me...
I just saw you in Emma and it was such a wonderful, well acted movie. I'm glad I found this song, too, because your voice was lovely in the movie and I'm happy I can listen to more of it!
After watching Genius I wanted to know a little bit about the actors, and that's how I came here. I was absolutely startled to find that Johnny makes such beautiful songs. I will definitely be listening to this song a lot.
I've been listening to your music since the first time I heard The Water. Your voice is just so nice, it's indescribable. I sang and learned and played that song over and over for weeks. To let you know, you've done it again. Keep it up!
@@riversouder3375 Ahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha no. That movie was bad news before it was even released, sadly. A Bowie film with absolute NONE of Bowie's music in it due to permission issues? That's a recipe for failure.
My old man passed away 8 years ago, i am 16 and turning 17. This is the new part of everything, now its been more than a half of my life without him, i hope you still look at me, i wish everyday that we could have had more time.
Nice vid😀👍unpretentious, and interesting.Cycles of life. Great lyrics.Thank God for Johnny Flynn's frequency and the magical combination that is the Sussex Wit.🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠.
Не давно познакомилась с Замечательным актером и певцом Джонни. Чему весьма рада его творчеству. Пожелаю Джонни дальнейших творческих успехов. Семье дружеских и крепких взаимоотношений!❤️👍🙏🙏🙏
Я вчера увидела фильм "Зверь", в котором он сыграл главную роль. Оказывается, этот харизматичный человек еще и отличный музыкант. Приятно удивлена) Большое спасибо за прекрасное творчество!
I saw Emma but it didn't bring me here. After then, during the quarantine, I fell into Netflix but I don't really like Netflix. I started to watch the British Tv series and I realized that Mr Knightley was on the Lovesick. After this, I discovered he is a singer as well, but I had still no idea how great he is. Your songs and their video clips are the cure. I loved it because it reminds me of the things that I really believe from the heart. Thank you for the music. Greetings from Turkey.
Tam olarak aynı şeyleri yaşamış olmamızdan dolayı şaşkınım. Benim gibi, siz de belki aynı duyguları yaşayan birini görünce mutlu olursunuz diye yazıyorum. Best wishes.
so looking forward to the Leeds gig. Been waiting for three years, only got to see him at Green Man Fest for three minutes then had to go back to work :D
Loved Johnny as Dobyn in Vanity Fair and again in Emma, really liked Queen Bee song... had no idea Johnny Flynn was Dobyn... !!! Until my wife pointed it out..love your work Johnny!
Came here for the beautiful heart-wrenching music but laughed out loud at this vid. I've done the 'watch a few yt vids how difficult can it be' thing 😂 Thought she was just gonna leave the shell on the beach and let the tide take it back to where it came from. Nice

I was completely in the dark about this gent until I started watching The Detectorists. His music will be in my car later today. Earworm music but brilliant earworm music. Cheers Johnny!
Lovely song💕 I heard the soundtrack a couple weeks ago on your channel, and I was delighted when I saw that the music video came out today. Your music is absolutely amazing:)
Saw this video and thought this guy looked familiar so I looked him up. He IS the guy from Brotherhood! And he was born in Johannesburg like me!!! Local South African reperesenting, I like it
One of your biggest themes seems to be the prevalence of eternity in the everyday consciousness of the average British Native Son. As an American with a lifelong preoccupation with the fact of mortality, I find a strong degree of comfort in that aspect of the English consciousness that approaches the idea as something simultaneously banal and existentially urgent. Your consciousness entails a centuries old relation to the proximity of fate to privilege, and so much of your cultural identity is tied to the fact of your history of war. I'm not quite sure exactly how to end this thought, but at least there's this: When you have cities built on sediment so gravid that you are all more than ok with halting major construction projects for as long as it takes to extract the relevant historical artifacts, then I think the idea of mortality is capable of being made light of while simultaneously respecting its gravity. Blackadder, for one very small example. British humor, after all, is the golden example for the rest of the world of the duality between comedy and drama. It's like you folks have realised something about the general absurdity of existence that eludes most of the rest of us.
this is a beautiful, perceptive post, Nick. I am also a son of England, and I feel just what you articulate: absurdity alongside sincere seriousness. I rarely heard it put so well as you did here, though

Lovely song and a great video. I was disappointed to see you'd only be touring US for an NYC show--- but you'd be even more so missed at home (evident from the video). All is well. Can't wait to hear the rest of this album.
@@mairikate_ He was playing the role of the young Albert Einstein for the National Geographic TV series when this video was made. He dyed his hair for that part.
He's got such an old sounding voice, not many people nowadays have that troubadour village sound where their songs just hit you in the soul.
I always return to Johnny music for autumn. His music is so autumn, I do not know why, autumn and beautiful and I love it.
How about that..
Same with Laura marling. Laura marling lead me here.🍃🍂🍁
i agree. good point.
Hey, it's just about autumn now, two years later. Time to return!
I also suggest a Fine Frenzy for fall!
Johnny Flynn with a baby is the purest thing I have ever seen
it is his baby, isn’t it?

you must be a strong person to fight against all u are telling, your words like the lyrics in the song hits our souls
why is he underrated? he deserves to be known internationally.
cause he’s not mainstream
if that consoles you, i'm watching this from Hungary.
@@nemerovel Yeah Bangladesh
He is very popular in Belgrad, Serbia
Oh, my heavens. The LYRICS and the music. I love this song. It speaks to me of a simpler, earthier way to think of loved ones who are gone, even if in traumatic ways. Thank you, Johnny Flynn.
So nice to see the family man"Johnny," sing this very haunting tune.
johnny is just so so gorgeous, his voice and face and existence altogether make me feel things I never knew I could feel
Another fine song from Johnny Flynn.
I didn't know comfort music was a thing till I heard this guy's music. ♥️
Johnny Flynn, Johnny Flynn why have I loved everything you’ve written. And sung. You can do no wrong.
For those who are yet to know: Johnny gives an OUTSTANDING performance playing the young Nicholas Winton in the film, One Life...
What a legend of a man, Johnny flynn, so much quality stuff he has made
Thank you for being a source of light. Your songs have helped me dig deeper through my son‘s cancer treatment, a d today my father took his last breath after listening to your song raising the dead
That made me cry. Especially the bits with the baby! So cute!
I've just been cutting onions, that's all.
It's just been raining on my face

With laura Marling
I don't know why I am addicted to you since I watched Emma. 😅😍
I think I know why 😄
Me too, after that movie I watched love sick (Netflix) and a movie with Anne Hathaway call Song One, I'm obsess.
His talent was obvious even in the small singing bit
Join the club
Me too!
this song deserves billions of views
your the best Johnny
hes such an underated actor but i hope he gets the recognition for his work just like the character hes playing did
Well he's playing David bowie so he's definitely going to get his recognition
new age delinquent Only if he does a good job, but no doubt he will

Just discovered this guy, please reply with your favorite Johnny song. He hits that sweet spot.
I adore this song and particularly the arrangement - it speaks to the heart.
I've been watching this video so often...because of Linnnie Flynn (why is nobody mentioning her?) AND for the fantastic music. From Berlin
Such a beautiful song and a beautiful video!
Honestly a little embarrassed to say it made me tear up a little.
Love you and Lilly in this video, great job.
haven't heard this guy in a while, glad he's back in my playlist
This man is something else.
His daughter is such a cutie! And so is he, of course. Amazing new song, could you please come to Amsterdam Johnny?!
that baby is part of the reason I watch this video so much
Watched him act onstage in the "Hangmen" play and he was fantastic as Mooney! Loved his character and the show!
really a beautiful song..
Its nice to see all positive comments not angry hateful ones! :)
The man is a genius. I looked up live shows. Missed one by 5 days. I was so gutted
Sounds so good!!! I love your music, Johnny. Hugs from Colombia.
He plays Einstein! and also sing? BRAVO. 👏
He also plays the main character in the series Lovesick, you should totally watch it!
His brother is Bronn from GoT too. He can also sing and act.
Salomea Curie he's been acting for years, but he's been singing longer.
I hope I am getting the signed LP and see you in NYC! Can't wait to hear you live again 4th time.
Mr. Knightley seems to be as much as an accomplished man in real life. 😍
I listen to this song several times a week at the moment, sometimes every day. I hadn't seen the video, it's beautiful.
glad i found such an inspiring soul at the age of 52. its never to late to experience life.
Que emoción ver a JF con su bebé... 💕💖💕💖💕💖
waited waited and waited...best thing this year. love ur voice so so much

OVERVIEW
LYRICS
Your old man's in the kitchen
He's a smile short of laughing
And the radio's beaming
From the stars that are coughing up
The change in his pockets
And the shrug of his shoulders
And the blood from his fingers
And the love that I hold for him
Oh oh, raising the dead,
raising the dead Raising the dead
Oh oh, raising the dead,
raising the dead Raising the dead
And those old songs are twitching
With the knees that are pitching
And the fair world's grinning
And the old got it spinning
To the place where he lived
And the room that he died in
There's a new song playing on the radio that night
Oh oh, raising the dead,
raising the dead Raising the dead
Oh oh, raising the dead,
raising the dead Raising the dead
He operates on a low frequency
To take down the pillars of our society
Walking out of sadness, walking out of grief
He's walking out of badness and walking like a thief
Oh oh, raising the dead,
raising the dead Raising the dead
Oh oh, raising the dead,
raising the dead Raising the dead
I collaborate with spirit
I helped it find its way back to me
Where I've been with myself on my way
On my way to the old man in the kitchen on my way
To the fiery broken-hearted people who all who say
Oh oh, raising the dead,
raising the dead Raising the dead
Oh oh, raising the dead,
raising the dead Raising the dead
Oh oh, raising the dead,
raising the dead Raising the dead
Oh oh, raising the dead,
raising the dead Raising the dead
