With Human Good we find Johnno in a rich vein of form - rather than wallowing in the depressing Post Brexit, post Trump landscape Human Good strikes an optimistic tone as Johnno takes you on a journey of people rich stories from a wide array of characters – we hear of fraudsters, pimps, prostitutes, drinkers, users and abuser’s and simple everyday folk just trying to make sense of this world. 
Alongside love letters to England and Johnno’s home town of Colchester, Human Good is shot through with a sense of defiance and optimism that everything will work itself out and be alright in the end.

Melodic, passionate and full of sweet surprises - come and find out about Human Good.

that one song at the end of Mo ep 7

The first single from Good Habits' "Quarter-Life" Album.
Featuring the amazing Kate Griffin from Mishra on Banjo and vocals.

As the cool bass cello riff took center stage in this track, its dynamic vibe seamlessly paired with Kate's vocals. This combination captures the essence and meaning of the song. 'Sunday' is all about embracing moments of respite without guilt—an anthem against burnout. The synergy between the lively bass and Kate's stylings on both regular banjo and cello banjo adds a new color to Bonnie’s performance that itself musically represents taking time and standing up for yourself.

Sunday - Good Habits Ft. Kate Griffin

I'm trying to manifest, I'm hoping by making a song about the sun shining, that it will actually shine, cause it's about bloody time!

Lyrics 
Humour’s bouncing round our brains, please don’t stop
The internet has filled us up, like an outsized gut
Keep our ears close to the ground, for when good is around
Everybody can get down until the beat comes back around

Come over to my place
We’ll put some records on
We’ll just dance under the sun

We won’t give up
We won’t back down
We have faith in human good

Go outside and turn the laptop off a while
Be with older people now
Tell the haters where to stick their nasty minds
It don’t cost nothing to be kind

When you’re laying it down
You can lick the dirt or wear the crown
Take the bull by the horns and live your life

We might play up
But we’re not mashed up
We believe in human good 

We won’t give up
We won’t back down
We have faith in human good

We might play up
But we’re not mashed up
We believe in human good 

People break up
And people make up
There’s always hope with human good

Lyrics

My dearheart I’ve wronged you
Showed your face disdain and turned away
Forgive me, I’ve fallen back in love with thee
The fickle make mistakes
In a world so strange

The good takes on the badness
The joy takes on the pain
The light takes on the darkness
And sends it back again
Sends it back again

Gentle days 
To soothe a troubled soul
Essex skies, contagious
Calming nights
Upon a Roman town
Hallowed ground beneath us

Oh London you shaped me
You gave me the gift of youth then locked away
Echoes down the track to Rectory Road
Across the Downs for love and the eternal code
Of good and family

People doth protest too much
It makes our future itch
People love to bitch too much
We are human, we have frailties
We are striving to be free


Gentle days 
To soothe a troubled soul
Essex skies, contagious
Calming nights
Upon a Roman town
Solid ground beneath us

Can’t give you up, I’ve fallen in love 
I plan to stay
I can’t give you up, I’ve fallen in love
I plan to stay
Stay, for those gentle days
Oh those gentle days


(C) Johnno Casson 2017

Lyrics
I feel pain, I feel loss
They tell me progress comes at a cost
We wait for good, we wait for true
We wait for kindness oh to lead us through

And I’ll hurt for you, I’ll hurt for you
I’ll hurt for you, I hurt for you

Been quite a year, we’ve spilt some tears
We’ve had our backs against the wall but we’re still here
If not for hope than why do we live
But to taste a life and forgive 

And I’ll hurt for you, I’ll hurt for you
I’ll hurt for you, I’ll hurt for you

A troubled world, a daily tear
Of how a foolish man uses fear
But I’ve got faith, it’s understood
That I believe in you and human good

And I’ll hurt with you, I’ll hurt with you
I’ll hurt with you, I’ll hurt with you

Hurt For You

'With Leaving Birds'  will be available for pre order on itunes from the 20th of October from this link  https://itunes.apple.com/gb/artist/jeanes/id384485866
and available to buy on the 03/11/2017 from Itunes and usual streaming sites.

‘With Leaving Birds’ sees Dougie Harley sing a story of goodbye from the banks of a Scottish sea loch.
The song tells of a lover compelled to leave, regardless of how much they are begged to stay. Set in autumn as winter approaches and the birds are called to other shores.

The 17th century English minister & scientist Charles Morton wrote a about how birds migrate to the moon and back every year. Ancient sailors believed birds returned from space to land on their ships.
Medieval encyclopedia’s have texts about barnacle geese growing from trees over water. From Ophelia and Shakespeare to Homers iliad the literary world is awash with stories of migration and water & sea. These are the inspiration for ‘with leaving birds’.

lyrics
floating down the water
she fills my thoughts today
as I can still recall her in the water
d'you know how it feels
to wave someone goodbye
to watch them disappear
to cast your love aside
 
slow goodbye the words absurd
since when did good, cause so much hurt
and goodbye, give me the words
my loves away with leaving birds
with leav-ing birds, with leaving birds, with leaving birds, with leaving birds
 
longing falls around you, pushing down you
now I know I've lost you, what can I do?
d'you know how it feels
to wave someone goodbye
to watch them disappear
along the riverside
 
slow goodbye
the drifting words
why can't my love just carry hers?
willow leaves will stroke her hair
from thistle downs to ocean air
 
float goodbye, please give me words
my loves away with leaving birds
snow geese come, as my love goes,
in reeds she slows and river flows, and ri-ver flows, and river flows, and river flows, and river flows,
my love she goes.

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
