Broken Soldier [Radio Edit]

With the constant barrage of noise from 'man made' things, fighting for our attention every waking second, many of us forget the soft call of natures voice.
'Jeanes' songs tell stories of sleeping fields, breathing trees & drunken bees.

Inspired by an article by Ian Macdonald about Nick Drake which said 'sensitive young people often have a horror of being understood for fear of losing their uniqueness, and in the process finding that they are not as unique as they like to think. The vocal was recorded in Catherine Hershey's Parisian home, with wonderful notes of morning bird song coming through the open windows.

Simple Jayne is the first track from the Sleeping Leaves EP.

I once met a girl,
she chose slowly
…what she told me 

we talked for a while,
…she said something
but then nothing,
..lips moved no words came

hides in her thoughts,
what she feels,
can’t be said,
they’re just her thoughts,
shes frightened others feel the same,
then she wont be unique again,
… just simple jayne.

with lapwing she plays
and humms slowly
….for him only … 

whatever she plays
the bird smothers, with feathers
no words can away

hides in wood groves,
with eyes never painted,
fringe grown past nose.
afraid if others hear her words,
her deepest thoughts wont be just hers
shes hiding words

I once met a girl she chose slowly what she told me.

Lyrics: I used to look into the sky, on the horizon there would be a little black cloud way up high with a whole lot of rain for me it followed me like a shadow would, never gave me a moments peace rained on me whenever it could, when I expected it the least Chorus but when it rains I'll watch the flowers grow and in the dark I'll find a face in the moon and when I live I'll live each day like my last and it won't be a moment too soon and when I love it will be with my heart and soul and I will never be afraid to fall and that little black cloud won't hold me back because tomorrow doesn't come for us... Verse 2 So I took a sideways look at myself, it was then that I could see that my misfortune had become a self fulfilling prophecy so i'm gonna search for the good in everything and when that black cloud is overhead,  I'll walk towards the sun instead Chorus and now I know the meaning of a life lived to the full because a life lived in shadows is not living much at all and i'm gonna search for the good in everything and when that black cloud's overhead,  I'll walk towards the sun instead Chorus but when it rains I'll watch the flowers grow and in the dark I'll find a face in the moon and when I live I'll live each day like my last and it won't be a moment too soon and when I love it will be with my heart and soul and I will never be afraid to fall and that little black cloud won't hold me back because tomorrow doesn't come for us all.

Had What You Had

Llun o'r peiriannau o broses lle mae pethau anamlwg yn esblygu. Er eu bod yn wagleoedd. 

Snapshot of the machinery of irreversible process where imperceptible things evolve. Even if they are spaces.

Yn Dod Allan - EMERGENT

She sits there slowly working away,
Her eyebrows curved like the half moon of a parade.
Lift it up, you can bring me down no more,
I have been a part of your demise before.
She's my gold my frankincense and mur.
Frankly I am happiest when I am with her.
Silicone Jews worded eloquently, I provide my pitch to you.

'it sounds like someone is panting in my ear'

An uplifting track about someone special.

Johnno Casson’s album 'Window Shopping' (produced by Wim Oudijk) was recently released on Folkwit Records.

Full Biography:-

London born/Colchester based Singer/Songwriter also performing as 'Snippet' https://soundcloud.com/snippet and Old Tramp https://soundcloud.com/oldtramp

Johnno was born in a wonderfully multi cultural Hackney,London and grew up to the sounds of British Pop music,lovers rock,ska & funk echoing around his head.
In recent years he has taken the time honoured route of moving from the East End to Essex and is now firmly based in Colchester. 

In a wonderfully chequered career Johnno has wore many hats,bought many T Shirts,had all sorts of jobs from the shop floor to the corporate boardroom and throughout has continue to make vibrant British Pop music.

Formerly the lead singer in Deep Joy (who worked with Andrew Weatherall,James Lavelle ,Adrian Sherwood and toured with The Farm )
Colchester artist Johnno may be also known to you as Snippet , the funky folky wonky pop multi instrumentalist, who has delivered an extremely well received range of vibrant releases in the last few years in the shape of 4 e.p's and the debut album ‘Slowly slowly catchee monkey’. In the process Snippet became the most played artist in the history of BBC Introducing and was described by Q Magazine as “reminiscent of early Beck”.

Whilst preparing for a run of Snippet live shows, Johnno found time to write an album's worth of new songs with a new acoustically minded sound and decided to release this under his real name of Johnno Casson.

Many people have said Johnno has an innate ability to deliver quirky, intelligent and infectious songs. On Johnno's forthcoming album 'Window Shopping' he takes a sidestep from the bouncy left-field electro pop music of Snippet into a collection of beautiful, personal, melancholic, honest & acoustic flavoured songs which capture the most interesting nuances he finds in people, in his own experiences and life in all its seeming simplicity. 

This is music with a bitter-sweet bite that lingers like that a big kid spoiling for a fight at the end of the school day without seeing that you have a light saber behind your back,this is a light that just refuses to go out, refuses to lose its shine or turn its back on you.  A sense of longing never felt this good.
