Cold days long gone
Summers here, game on
Party with friends, good feelings never end
Some day’s life just feels so incredible
Sweet days we wish would never end

We luv the sunshine
All day
We raise our glasses 
Held high
We live to party
All night
We live for love
All day

Long day in bad job
They pay me but hate boss
Just when my wits end
Here comes the weekend
Some people love to bathe in misery
We choose to lose ourselves in good

We luv the sunshine
All day
We raise our glasses 
Held high
We live to party
All night
We live for love
All day

We luv the sunshine
All day
We raise our glasses 
Held high
We live to party
All night
We live for love
All day

We luv the sunshine
All day
We raise our glasses 
Held high
We live to party
All night
We live for love
All day


This is music to lift your spirits & put a spring in your step. 

Snippet is the work of one man – Johnno Casson. Johnno cut his musical teeth as lead singer of trip hop pioneers Deep Joy, working with the likes of Andrew Weatherall (Primal Scream), James Lavelle (Mo’ Wax/UNKLE) and Adrian Sherwood (On-U-Sound) and touring extensively – including dates with The Farm. Staggeringly prolific, Johnno releases music under a variety of different names, including his own & Old Tramp in addition to Snippet.

London reared & Colchester based Snippet has been forging a wonderfully vibrant path for the past Six years & has released Two Albums & Four EP’s between 2008-2013 which have attracted a world wide following to this very unique brand of wonky pop music from the leftfield; Bouncy with a dash of folk & a splash of funk.

“Snippet: A National Indie Treasure” 
Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music

“Dry of humour and lo-fi of sound, the skewed pop of Colchester’s Snippet is reminiscent of early Beck.” 
Q Magazine

“Sound of the summer...Pop Genius-9.5/10” Louder Than War

“Touched a nerve, we love it.” 
Rob da Bank BBC Radio 1

"Snippet is without doubt a musical shape shifter of some talent" Fresh On The Net/Andy Von Pip

“Wow, sounds really great Johnno” Ron Sexsmith

This is about nostalgia, which simply isn't what its used to be. If you cant be bothered reading Retromania just give this a listen (or read Retromania with this on repeat, its an excellent book).

Lyrics:
She's over you
Boy you know it's true
But you can't stay here
You had it coming for years

Pull yourself together
And draw the line
Pull yourself together
Can't stand to see you crying

It's your life, your call
Stand up or enjoy your fall

It's over now
You've been taking your time
But you can't stay here
Boy dry up your tears

No point in looking back
Over your shoulder
Leave your worries behind 
For a while
You'll forget everything
As you get older

The back story

For the last 16 years Johnno has been releasing independent music under his own name, as Snippet, Old Tramp and Walken400, creating a unique catalogue of recordings and performances, and having been named by Tom Robinson as the most played BBC Introducing artist ever on his BBC 6 Music show, Johnno has continued to release vibrant music with plenty of bounce to the ounce.

Former caretaker, London Underground railman and local council relationship manager Johnno Casson aka Snippet started out writing songs at 15 in his bedroom on a Hackney council estate with a tennis racket for a guitar and a soap-on-a-rope microphone.

Johnno played for Adrian Sherwood’s (On-USound) 5-a-side football team (silky smooth striker), gloriously beating The Sun newspaper’s team at a championship for charity at Arsenal’s stadium, and for the last 12 years he has been perfecting his coleslaw making skills, whilst getting M.E and becoming a well respected figurehead on the British D.I.Y./Wonky Pop scene.

Johnno also runs the award winning community group The Warm and Toasty Club, running special live events for the last 9 years www.facebook.com/thewarmandtoastyclub
