Can't Rest

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.

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!

‘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
