Johnny Flynn - The Water (Live at The Lewes Stopover 2013) 

The harmonies & high, plaintive notes from the young woman absolutely made this beautiful song.

The lady singing was awesome and even tho cruelly ignored by the camera people she was not ignored by me

Why not one glimpse of the woman who contributes such beauty to this performance?!?!

I agree. Her harmonies are essential.

Johnny & Lillie Flynn are so talented ...

All that I have is a river The river is always my home Lord, take me away For I just cannot stay Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones The water sustains me without even trying The water can't drown me, I'm done With my dying Please help me build a small boat One that'll ride on the flow Where the river runs deep And the larger fish creep I'm glad of what keeps me afloat The water sustains me without even trying The water can't drown me, I'm done With my dying Now deeper the water I sail And faster the current I'm in But each night brings the stars And the song in my heart Is a tune for the journeyman's tale The water sustains me without even trying The water can't drown me, I'm done With my dying Now the land that I knew is a dream And the line in the distance grows faint So wide is my river The horizon a sliver The artist has run out of paint Where the blue of the sea meets the sky And the big yellow sun leads me home I'm everywhere now The way is a vow To the wind of each breath by and by The water sustains me without even trying The water can't drown me, I'm done With my dying

One of the best songs ever written...

Thanks GOD this style is still alive!

I'd much rather see Johnny than Marcus any day. And Lilly deserves mad respect. She gives up a lot of her time and effort to sing with her brother Johnny, and has a lovely voice.

I've come to watch this video once a day for something like a month. It's heartbreaking. I love so much this song, it takes away any fear of death.

What a brilliant voice and amazing actor Johnny is

Lillie Flynn is one of the best backup singers ever, both for JF and Noah & the Whales, and is also an accomplished stage musical actress. It was nice of MM to say in an interview at this concert that Johnny Flynn is is favorite songwriter of all time. Mine too~~~

As a family thy have no right to behold so much talent, its crazy!

This performance makes my soul happy happy happy

Every Mumford fan watching (who isn't already a JF fan) needs to download "A Larum", "Been Listening", "A Bag of Hammers" soundtrack, and Johnny Flynn's new album out next month. He's just too good to ignore any longer.

I just discovered this group and all I can say is WOW! I’m hooked.❤️

oh lillie. her voice is a dream.

The way this is filmed = summer in a video **So thankful for this while we can't all gather together right now**

I really hope that he sings this beautiful song when I see him live in November. The Water is the song that made me fall in love with him.

The weather is never this perfect at a UK festival!

Such a beautiful song .. I just missed seeing Lillie there, so out of the footage...although her voice soared with such exquisiteness..

Аудитория не маленькая! С любовью к тебе Джонни Флиин!🌹❤️🙏

Brings it all back; what a wonderful weekend

I love this song! But the video leaves me with a feeling of frustration for not being able to see the lead singer of this song (I mean she has the main melody after all!). I can't understand how the cameraman decided not to film her, not even for a moment!

God, his voice is so perfect 🖤

His music gives me a lot of peace

Really like Lillie's voice and the way it melds with Johnny's....

This is beautiful

This artist has NOT run out paint.

It's a shame we never see that Lillie girl who really does the song justice, which is hard enough considering I only knew the version with -my all-time favourite-Laura Marling!

FANTASTIC !

This is Balm for the Soul💜

I'm crying.. Amazing.. Bravo

great voices ❤️

Happy Day - Enjoy Life with Love 🎶⭐🎉❤️❤️❤️🎉⭐🎶

Glad at least British people appreciate singer-songwriters. You never even hear this kind of thing in the USA anymore it is all rap and pop music :(

I adore this song

This song is timeless, its emotional and beautiful, a song for my funeral, thank you forever Johnny..

why is everybody talking about laura marling? lillie's voice is wonderful. enjoy the flynns.

Beautiful!

ahh such a good song! the person who said whoever loves Mumford & suns will love this was right!

We are blessed to be alive when there's great music around like this. If you like johnny Flynn you should also check out Garry Bean.

Velho! !que Maravilha! ! AMO FOLK! !ALGUÉM DO BRASIL AÍ? ?

Great performance 👌👌

Que bonita voz ,es una canción preciosa.🙋😃

beautiful...

Seriously, they couldn't get a single good shot of the woman singing harmony?

It is beautiful but I don't feel the same high emotion without Laura Marling. She made this song come alive.

Beautiful 🥰

I like this song a lot. The lady singing has beautiful voice, I agree with all the comments about why we can't see her. But I am also am thinking why has Johnny not replied or liked any comments?

un amour de jeunesse

Did the fantastic woman vocalist have a filming anonymity clause in her contract?

I don't see her and she sings perfect!

Wish I was there.

This and Mumford and Sons made this festival!

You think Johhny can sing, wait 'til you see him in the Michael Pearce's new movie, "Beast"

💕💕💕💕💕

Should maybe even consider buying the albums, as well.

Quite nice very genuine

that's me and my friends at 1:17 with the sexy marcus banner!!

I'll just ask. Who was the guy in the glasses and hat who came onto the stage to such applause?

❤💕

Is the girl singing secretly signing on the dole and doesn’t want to loose her benefits by being recognised as a fantastic singer😍

VERY NİCE GREAT

Anyone catch Carey Mulligan at 0:11? :)

Hh the best

aww

Just did a cover of this song with my bestfriend x

Lovely song! But why does the girl get completely excluded from the shots? Found that quite sad, its a two person song

that one time i was in a video with marcus mumford and johnny flynn...

Really beautiful, but just one thing... Where is She ?..

He is the image of my son James!

Very nice, but who is the lady singing the song? Otherwise it's two blokes playing strings and back up harmonies. She has a beautiful voice.

:)song and/agus/et of Johnny. Who is the female singer on this, don't see any credits for?

👌👌👌👌

If this is the sort of thing you're into, you should also try "James Newton Chadwick, One"!

What kind of genre is this music? Could someone tell me the name of this song too. It's so beautiful. The singers too!

That is his little sister Lillie, 2:25

Thank so much for the great music. Can you send me an autograph photo Please?

Can anyone tell me whether the singer and keyboard player is Lillie Flynn, or if not who?

Just came across these people when I was looking at some Terrence Malick and Townes Van Zandt. Why is the female never shown? Her voice makes this song. It's a great song, but her contribution is totally overlooked. They show his new bandmate, and they show other band members, and they show the new bandmate singing his part, but they only show her back a few times, and that is just not right. It is such a lovely song, but I can't understand the videographers/filmmakers.

The version with Laura Marling is so much more stunning.

I so much love this song thank you but here really such a shame we don’t see the girl singing... big mistake of the film maker

I have Alt-J to thank for making me google who Johnny Flynn is

who's the lady singing backup?

lol wow

Is he playing a gretsch alligator resonator guitar?

Marcus' limp from his ankle:(

Who is the apparently well know person on comes on stage at the beginning?

¿Él interpretará a Roger Taylor en la película sobre Queen?

This song should have a small 🎸 part.

MUMFORD AND FLYNNS

Why’d Marcus come out with a “Godfather limp”

This Guy is going to play David Bowie.

For those who’d like to see & hear Lily Flynn as her brother plays & sings, you might enjoy this lower key version. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oI_veSCYgd4.html

not bad

Lead singer looks like wesley schultz,so imma pretend this is a lumineers/mumford collab

corker

Who's here after stardust?

Body and resonator look like an alligator but the headstock doesn't
