Johnny Flynn - Wandering Aengus 

Spent the first 18 years living by the sea in the Devon countryside. Now I’m 19 and at uni in London. Completely relate to wanting the balance between a social city life and being back home with no one around.

Im not sure how well known this is, but the song of wandering aengus is a breathtakingly beautiful poem by W.B Yeats

me and the wife still listen to this, pembrokeshire is a beautful place

I love this because this girls' story is so relatable. She's longing for connection in her everyday life (thus the guy with the beard), but at the same time she only feels truly happy, herself, and unrestrained, when she's by herself, daydreaming in her own little world. Johnny keeps coming to sit with her there but she never acknowledges him - we don't get to know if she ever finds somebody who understands her enough to join her in her own little world...but we can keep hoping :)

Oh Wait a minute did I just find my favorite new singer totally randomly. Yup

i'm in love with this man and his mind

Beautiful Pembrokeshire 🥰

What are men to rocks and mountains!

Just discovering this talented man. What l have heard I am very impressed.

Oh. My. God. You're voice is beautiful. Many, many thanks

I accidentally started listening to it at x1.25 and now I can't stop listening it this way haha

Listening to this on repeat while I do my office job is deranging

This video 100% accurately describes how I feel cooped up in a big city right now.

It will be a very lucky person , who actually meets Johnny Flynn, genius singer songwriter, actor and a Saint.....

Johnny Flynn in his rightful position of guardian Angel 😇 woke up to find this alchemy on my notifications, have had it on repeat, with no intention of stopping any time soon. x 🌸

What a song

This is one of those tracks that will always give me goosebumps, regardless of how many times I play it. Beyond gorgeous!

Fantastic.

Johnny Flynn also enthralled with a great acting performance in "Beast" (2018?) a neat little psychological drama with Jessie Buckley. Well worth your while.

Johnny don't stop your songs they mean a lot to people 😊

This video is really good. Exactly how i feel. I love being married but i also want to go adventure by myself and don't know how to reconcile those things necessarily

I've been listening to your music since I was 10 and I'm now 23. Love it!!

unpretentious. pure gold

I was having a miserable day today, but this really cheered me up. Thank you so much for your music Johnny, never stop what you are doing. :)

I can relate to this because I would always rather be in Pembrokeshire too.

Johnny´s voice is simply amazing.

Just discovered this amazingly talented man recently. What a gifted actor, and musician! I love finding new "Talent Crushes"!

Oh how I love you Johnny

A brilliant piece of music and poetry: thank you, Sir, and greetings from Italy.

Years since I heard this and love it again

Just beautiful, such a mood. We feel it. Loving the orchestral accompaniment.

Could not love this video more.

Great as always Johnny!!!!!!

This song and scenes are so relatable. ♥️

Aw this is so relatable and makes me really appreciate the talents everyone has put in this song & video.

Wandering Aengus Johnny Flynn Walking in my mourning in the morning Let me tell you of the ashes in the great Sun is raised for dawning, let the dawn in Let me lift my heart and free my song from pain To the song, to the song of Wandering Aengus People talk of rain, now for the pain Now in the swing of all the people at the gate Call of men-folks down in the woods, Bow down to Cyprus In the hazel wood and wave For the song, for the song of Wandering Aengus To step amidst the ferns who gently learn To whisper solitude to sunlight through the breaks I have seen your name writ through the clothes Knit pulses swelling in the fire I made last night With the song, with the song of Wandering Aengus With the song, with the song of Wandering Aengus Walking in my mourning in the morning Let me tell you of the ashes of the great Sun is raised for dawning Let the dawn in, let me lift my heart and free my song from pain To the song, to the song of Wandering Aengus To the song, to the song of Wandering Aengus Songwriters: Johnny Flynn

Great song. I'm getting a 'Lake Isle of Innisfree' vibe from the video too.

Love the music, Love the video!

inside no 9 episode with Johnny and now I discover this, kuwl!

What a video !!!! So good

Обожаю Джонни Флина 😍

good to see that a huge part of his songs and videos reminds the purest things of life (like nature, kids...).

I purchase the new music right now! What a genius.

Wow! Wonderful song, wonderful voice 🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏👏👏

He is so beautiful!!!

Always love your music ❤️

Let me lift my heart Out of this darkness And begin to live again Mourning mourning Too much mourning Wasting my little life away But Sadness is a virtue in this day and age but Still Respite flows in A warm Cedar smelling rain Wondering Wondering to much wondering Wasting my little life away They say The quickness may not catch you if ya don't play their way Nope never again No more games It's the morning of new days Forever forgotten ways Running from the darkness I m running away Running running too much running I m wasting my little life away

Perfect song 💚🤘🏻

Amazing....thanks friends.... Music is Nature...Music is Human!

church rock at broad haven south at the end, if someone feels like retracing the steps!

Super talented!

Sounds so good. I love your music, Johnny. Hugs from Colombia.

this is my life right here.

Absolutely brilliant. That’s it.

The story of this video exactly sums up my life...lovely song and video Johnny🌄🌳🌲🌊

Johnny Flynn's music is so freaking good! (:

Love this song and the moment she throws her ph away that’s what we all need to do just be in nature and without the machine socially engineering us 💙

Sea Fever BY JOHN MASEFIELD I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking. I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

I fuckin love detectorists and the fact that it led me here

2 weeks til Brighton!

Люблю людей, которые любят творить и дарить людям!♥️🙏

I can't wait for this album!

I went out to the hazel wood, Because a fire was in my head.

Walking in my mourning in the morning Let me tell you of the ashes in the great Sun is raised for dawning, let the dawn in Let me lift my heart and free my song from pain To the song, to the song of Wandering Aengus People talk of rain, now for the pain Now in the swing of all the people at the gate Call of men-folks down in the woods, Bow down to Cyprus In the hazel wood and wave For the song, for the song of Wandering Aengus To step amidst the ferns who gently learn To whisper solitude to sunlight through the breaks I have seen your name writ through the clothes Knit pulses swelling in the fire I made last night With the song, with the song of Wandering Aengus With the song, with the song of Wandering Aengus Walking in my mourning in the morning Let me tell you of the ashes of the great Sun is raised for dawning Let the dawn in, let me lift my heart and free my song from pain To the song, to the song of Wandering Aengus To the song, to the song of Wandering Aengus

This video is literally how I feel working right now. All I want to do is travel.

YES

I wish I could see him live this month, but I'm away for 4 days when the shows are near me and the rest are too far away :( Very intriguing video, have to watch it again to get the message!

That swan got off lightly! Atleast until its signets are poisoned by the corroding rare earth contents of the phone.

I love it! that's from a genius! thank you johnny😘

Modern mega-cities are brutal. Nature is where we belong.

This is perfection

The Song of Wandering Aengus BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS I went out to the hazel wood, Because a fire was in my head, And cut and peeled a hazel wand, And hooked a berry to a thread; And when white moths were on the wing, And moth-like stars were flickering out, I dropped the berry in a stream And caught a little silver trout. When I had laid it on the floor I went to blow the fire a-flame, But something rustled on the floor, And someone called me by my name: It had become a glimmering girl With apple blossom in her hair Who called me by my name and ran And faded through the brightening air. Though I am old with wandering Through hollow lands and hilly lands, I will find out where she has gone, And kiss her lips and take her hands; And walk among long dappled grass, And pluck till time and times are done, The silver apples of the moon, The golden apples of the sun.

missing pembrokeshire now...

Why does this have "normal people" meets "trainspotting 2" vibes!??
