It’s fascinating to hear about their creative process. Deep, thoughtful, and relatable. I’d pay good money to hear Johnny Flynn tell us about all his songs!

My favourite artist. Such a great songwriter. Robert Mcfarlanes Desert Island Discs is worth listening to also

What is the music term Robert McFarlane used to describe Johnny Flynn’s higher notes in the song? I’ve never heard of it. Anyone know?

[@inflightsolo]

I think he's saying it's like the Communards (the pop duo) - one of them often sang in a falsetto, which JF uses in the song.

[@robinfisher4458]

@@inflightsolo Thank you, that was puzzling!

[@skywalktriceiam]

@@robinfisher4458 they're from a few years back😉 I got it, though🙊🤣 I'm gonna have a listen for nostalgic purposes. tbh, I found the reference a bit puzzling, too

Здорово!❤️ Любящее дело приносит плоды многим!

[@lafamillecarrington]

Sounds Alt J-esque to me - hence great!

[@joesmith8462]

worst song on the album. Makes sense that it was written by someone who doesn't write songs.
