Most of Johny Flynn's songs begin as poetry, so while that doesn't completely exempt them from the possibility of being just another aesthetic arrangement, i think make a good case for genuine artistry, but either way it sounds good and we are no position to judge their merit when it comes to their meaning or their personal significance and honestly when it comes to music, I think judging good music based on either of those of those qualities is both pretentious and stupid.
@xXxKKRINGLExXx Some of the phrases he uses don't actually relate to the topic of the song at all. Only he can know the meaning behind some of the things he says. Like his song 'Wayne Rooney'. It has absolutely nothing to do with Wayne Rooney but he wrote it on a picture of him in a newspaper so he named it after him. I suppose most artists would say that their lyrics are open to interpretation but he probably has his own meaning for most of his lyrics that we can't deduce.
@PsicLT Each part of it makes sense, but cohesively? You could make an argument for growing up, but that's about it. What's a Kentucky pill? A sour-faced Southerner? Why are you shooting all your old friends instead of just growing distant or quietly despising them? And "I've seen a fuller moon swinging wanton premonition"? You can glean a meaning from it, but that doesn't mean the phrase itself is meaningful. I've seen your fuller moon, mm yeah girl.
I liked this song a lot more when I didn't listen to the lyrics. Now it just sounds like another floopsy-woopsy jumble of words that sound good together but mean very little, plus some super dissonant violence. Dude's got an awesome voice though.
@thistlemunch Yeah, or they are just arrangements of words that sound cool together, and lyricists mask the meaninglessness by saying it's personal. Unknowables!
Amazing talent. Amazing voice. Amazing musicians. Amazing music.
This song is dope and was really dope in weeds
Awesome sound. LOVE IT!
