Johnny Flynn - The Wrote and the Writ

This kid is some kind of wonderful.  His music and his recordings are always beautiful in their stripped down and honest presentation.  I think music nowadays has become over produced and too polished.  Which is fine, I suppose, for some genres but I love hearing music as it is supposed to be played, with emotion, feelings.  I want to hear a difference when the chorus is played the second time.  I hate it when I can tell something is looped too obviously.  Give me your raw talent! Give me your mistakes! Let me hear your voice for pete’s sake! I want to hear it!

If you’re born with a love of the wrote and the writ

People of letters your warning stands clear

Pay heed to your heart and not to your wit

Don’t say in a letter what you can’t in my ear
