Check out these finds! An eclectic collection of singer-songwriters that I've found around soundcloud. Thanks to all artists on this list for writing and recording these songs of real substance...

Singer-Songwriters Worth A Listen

Melodic and powerful orchestral music, starting with a flute theme and ending with an epic symphony orchestra playing in the style of a modern Hollywood blockbuster, which inspires a sense of faith and confidence in the listener.
Its emotional and heroic cinematic mood is the perfect choice for movie trailers, TV and film underscore, documentary, sports, racing, adventure, commercials, advertising and background music for motivational and inspirational projects.

Hackney born and Colchester based he returns with a cheeky new single Here Come The Freaks. 

Written, recorded and self-produced by Johnno in the middle of recording a new Snippet album, this song just didn't seem comfortable being sat between two tracks on an album, so it busted out in its own right. 

Here Come The Freaks is in celebration of the picked upon, the bullied and the under-appreciated members of society.

Former caretaker, London Underground railman and 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 juggled being in a band with holding down a normal job (playing a packed Astoria at night and washing out s**t stained lifts in the morning).

Johnno played for Adrian Sherwood’s (On-U-Sound) 5-a-side football team (silky smooth striker), gloriously beating The Sun’s newspaper’s team at a championship for charity at Arsenal’s old Highbury 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 by making excellent songs that may come from the borders and margins, but kiss you in the sweet spot as good as more mainstream songs do. 

Oh and Johnno has recorded and toured extensively with all sorts of bands including as lead singer with Deep Joy who were born out of the early 90’s London acid house/club scene - via Shoom nightclub and being named as Danny
Rampling’s favourite band, working with David Harrow and Andrew Weatherall who produced and remixed their debut single on Brainiak Records - onto the early years of trip-hop on James Lavelle’s Mo ‘Wax label and being championed by Gilles Peterson on Kiss FM. 

They dented the charts in New York, Tokyo and London and also worked
with the aforementioned legendary On-U-Sound label founder and producer Adrian Sherwood on their Ray Hayden produced material.

For the last 12 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 has been named by Tom Robinson as the most played BBC Introducing artist ever on his BBC 6 Music show. 

He also the founder/producer of the Warm and Toasty Club, an innovative  and award winning club that uses delightful live events to make older folk feel cherished and less lonely. Of late the club has kept people connected throughout lockdown with 70 online chat shows with fun features and live singing guests (called Online Memory Afternoons), a monthly Warm and Toasty Newsletter and a daily telephone befriending service to help keep loneliness and isolation at bay and keep people connected.

Here Come The Freaks

Anywhere out of the  World  - Dead can dance - cover

Dan Blackard says.  I was thinking of what to write for this track while sitting in the parking lot at 4:30 in the morning. When for no particular reason visions of my youth and things I vaguely remember started to just flash into my mind. I almost just let the thoughts go. But, some of the memories seemed vivid. The commercials, tv shows and many of the things that, for only the briefest of times, meant a great deal to me.  And then I realized that my head was actually telling me that this was the song. Or, it's more than possible that I was half asleep😆.

Lyrics;
There's the doggy in the window
There's a red balloon
And hey diddle diddle
The cow that jumped over the moon

There's the marbles and jacks
Cartoon mouse and cat
And toys from the days
From when Santa got fat

And I can still find
In the back of my mind
All of the things
This kid left behind

Some crayons and books
Not to read, just for looks
And the big cookie jar
from where all the cookies were took

An old piggy bank
Plastic soldiers and tank
A box of Mr. Bubbles
In the tub where my submarine sank

And I can still find
In the back of my mind
All of the things
This kid left behind

Gumby and Pokey
Ranger hat from Smokey
The old hot wheels cars
A book of Sneetches with stars on thars
Big Tonka truck
The old rubber duck
Let go of my eggos
watch out for the legos.

And I can still find
In the back of my mind
All of those things
This kid left behind

What This Kid Left Behind

The Next World

Abstract

A recurrence of the Carrington solar storm event would have a significant effect not just on technological infrastructure. However, the complexity of the solar storm's repercussions on the food shortage crisis is critical since the world is now confronting food scarcity. Our anticipation of Solar storms is based on the crucial factors determining that extreme Solar storm occurrence. IMF-Bz, with its southerly orientation and negative polarity, is one of the defining variables for the event of intense Solar storms. The most important part of our approach to interpreting the Quran is establishing a tie between pertinent literature and the Quran. Thus, we follow Plato's instruction in the cave allegory; the Sun should enlighten us upon departing the cave. In verse (18:17) of the Cave chapter, the term [ṭalaʿat] that follows the word Sun signifies the Sun's position at the zenith. The second word [tazāwaru] designated the negative and southward direction of the IMF. Therefore, our anticipation that an intense CME would impact earth at the Sun at Zenith on 23 September 2022, about 5:07 UTC. In addition, hitting the earth's upper atmosphere is likely by a Solar flare that will coincide with the Sunset from the word [taqradum] that signified the Sun emission of the Kα Iron line within our approach. So, it is likely Solar flare coincides or precedes CME in striking the earth's upper atmosphere.

(We'll see.)

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

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

We Luv The Sunshine

English Fables Vol.1 is the follow up to 2022’s Chippa.
Available now on Bandcamp https://snippetcuts.bandcamp.com/album/english-fables-vol-1

Recorded at home DIY style with a beaten up old tube mic, a nylon stringed guitar, an assortment of guitar pedals and a set of good intentions. This album is chock full of personality, characters and brimming with life.

On English Fables Vol.1 you’ll find an authentic voice delivering stories of the England he knows, of people and of life – all wrapped in musical grit, bounding knee beats, bouncing guitar refrains and beautiful strings, with some wonderfully oddball songs with hooks to die for (Michael, I Knocked You Off The Ladder, Billy With The Wonky Toe).

And in the tradition of the classic English songbook there are wonderful little original gems to be found like Funny Habits, Tip Of My Tongue, Resting Face and Stop And Enjoy it.
There’s even a guest spot for the velvety tones of Marina Florance.

Behind Johnno’s 'survive life by laughing at life' persona there is a real deeper craftmanship in action here, through his enchanting multi instrumentation and clever lyrical interplay.

There’s also a fearlessness from Johnno in covering his battles with chronic health conditions (The Little Things), toxic masculinity faced growing up on a council estate (Patriarchy Vs A Mothers Love), male violence (Punch), the pollution of our waterways (Pipe Dreams), and mental health challenges (Sometimes Life Is Really).

Track 2 Come On Down was apparently born out of listening sessions with Sleaford Mods, Donald Byrd's New Perspective and Dexy's Midnight Runners, with a splash of 7” inch Northern Soul thrown in for good measure, yet it comes out sounding totally upbeat Snippet, totally Johnno in a top mood.

English Fables – Vol.1 is an album of empathy, compassion and warmth - this is beautiful English outsider art from a thriving DIY cottage industry of really interesting recording artists like Johnno Snippet making special musical moments and new memories to bring joy to people.

Back story - Johnno recorded and toured with bands such as Deep Joy who were born out of the early 90’s London acid house/club scene - working with Andrew Weatherall, David Harrow and onto the early years of trip-hop on James Lavelle’s Mo ‘Wax label and being championed by Gilles Peterson. They dented the charts in New York, Tokyo and London and also worked with legendary On-U-Sound label founder and producer Adrian Sherwood.

Lyrics

Be it day or be it night, always chipper, always bright
As you wait, you wait for a man to come
You show ‘em in, show ‘em out
Meet the kids then chuck him out
As you wait, you wait for the right man to come
I’m free for a date, oh free for a life
Come elevate all these matters of stress and strife
It’s in front of you nose but you just can’t see
When every road you’re travelling leads you right to me

I’m a bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man 
But I do the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can

Made mistakes, paid my dues
the kindest souls can get the blues come on, give this bloke a chance
Patient man, callous hands but a heart that understands
Come on, I won’t be playing you
I can hail at the moon, I can scream at the light
Even tough men want someone to hold at night
I’ve got so much to give and I’m good for my years
Ain’t it just about time that someone dried your tears

I’m a bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man 
But I do the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can

Only hope these words of mine are getting to you
Only hope these words of mine are getting through
We’ll be fine, we’ll be cool, we’ll be right, we’ll be true
Girl it’s time we got together now
Girl it’s time we got together now

I’m a bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man 
But I do the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can

Future Melancholy Pop Music

Bad Man

And nothing can we call our own but death
And that small model of the barren earth
Which serves as paste and cover to our bones.
For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings;
How some have been deposed; some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed;
Some poison'd by their wives: some sleeping kill'd;
All murder'd: for within the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits,
Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp,
Allowing him a breath, a little scene,

The golden and the green

The Golden And The Green

Lyrics:-

We set out our stall
But our conversations mental
I’m not unhinged
More totally unique
I might be keen
But I'm not guided by my winkle
Its not obscene if this is all to do with love	

Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
But think about me

Our open arms have gone flying in the wind
I’m not religious but God deliver me a drink
I’ve always charmed the birds out of the trees
So why can’t I just once not practise what I preach

Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
But focus on me

I’ve always been the biggest pain in the arse
I’ll change for you ,ain’t you the lucky one

Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
But think about me

Lyrics by Johnno Casson © 2012

Lets talk about us

OFF or On Fucking Fire...

I saw John Oliver's Last Week Tonight with  Bill Nye's impassioned plea for the environment.  The mention of 4-8 degrees is scary and in the days and weeks following.. I found it difficult to shake the words.  

It's a game changer for humanity..as an artist all I can offer is my music. To provide the canvas on which their words may be painted in a new and different way.  I found some of Bill's friends to help him drive the point home.  I hope you enjoy it!

Vocals:
Sir David Frederick Attenborough
Neil deGrasse Tyson
William Sanford Nye

Peace and love my brothers and sisters!

On Fucking Fire

O.F.F.

My entry for Amanda Palmers songwriting competition. 

Lyrics:
You failed us
you robbed us
you trapped us
you left us in darkness

you have become unto us
a deciever
you put darkness upon us
for years and years 
and hours and hours

what kind of power is this?
what kind of failure is this? 
what kind of bargain is this? 
what kind of devil keeps us in darkness? 
(x2)

we did this
we placed out hopes in a flawed, flawed system
we broke this
we had the power, 
but left only with failure
(x2)

What kind of power is this? 
what kind of failure is this? 
what kind of bargain is this? 
What kind of devil keeps us in darkness?

Power Failure

From our second album, Interesting Times.

The American Circus

Silicon-breasted, botoxed cougars
The bronzed, cock-sure men who schmooze them
The bum who bleeds a dime from both
And the junkie who mugs them all for coke

And the banker revving up his Jag
To mock the newly-bankrupt hag
Who corrals in bags her thirteen cats—
Another meme for the Internets!

And don’t forget their forgotten youths
The hipsters who make cool uncouth
Starving artists with change for drugs
All activists so woke and smug

The viral trolls so woke and smug
All activists so woke and smug
The cyber stars with trending plugs
The cyber stars so rich and smug

Woo-hoo!

Here at the American Circus
Admission’s always free
Thanks in part to taxpayer funds
And grants from the Treasury
We’ll keep open borders all year long—
We’ll never discriminate—
Until the time the freaks grow old
Or grow up and move away!

Pedophiles and cultish preachers
Fight to death rabid feministas
While cowed and bent and dressed in rags
The Shame Parade gets scorned and wagged (/scragged; /gagged)

And politicians with practiced smiles
Sway gawking crowds with open guile
As snowflakes whine (/fall) and huff and puff—
Freedom is never free enough!


In the main tent, center ring
Lady Liberty prepares to sing
A remix of the Stars and Stripes
With lyrics of pop-studded tripe!

Yahoo!

Here at the American Circus
Deviants are the norm
We pass no judgments on their talents—
It’s their politics we deplore!
So if you’re in or out of town
Just shake your fist and come right down
To the place where everything happening is—
Bring your enemies!
Bring your friends!
Bring the (/your) kids!

And don’t forget your stones and bricks (/sticks)!
And don’t forget your selfie-sticks!
And don’t forget your politics!

Lyrics

And the light goes dim and the good flows out
And it keeps me wondering, wondering what life’s about
I hit some lows and feel the spin
And it keeps me wondering, wondering how I can win

And when the darkness comes, I haven’t got a clue
I haven’t got protection, falling like a fool
My mind goes spinning round and I feel so bruised
It’ll strip my confidence, dignity, happiness before its through
And I feel the shame of it and I feel the strife
Oh God can you send me a plan for this life

So I reach for light to find my cure
Too tired of stumbling, stumbling, stumbling through the door

All I wanted, all I needed, all I got was nothing
All we hoped for, all we prayed for and all we got was nothing

I’ve had enough of my fickle foe
Too long been following, following everywhere I go
So I try to be kind and try to do good
No one warned me what I’d find in adulthood

So I reach for hope because it feels like home
Too long been stumbling, stumbling, stumbling on my own
So I turn to you to let me in, I’d rather just be poor and free than in a spin

And the good will out and a change will come and stop me worrying, worrying, worrying everyone
And I turn to you, my heart is flickering 
I’m wondering, wondering is this the end

(c)Johnno Casson - 2020

Century

LYRIC:
I see crazy when there ain’t no crazy
Sun’s out but in my head its always rainy
Forty-nine reasons to stay in bed
Who said OCD is dead?

And I been praying that the meds don't change me
One time, two times, four times daily
I haven’t been around for ya lately
I don't blame you if ya blame me
 
Oh it’s hard to explain how I’m feeling
Until you’ve walked a couple miles in my shoes
Oh a smile it can be so deceiving
I’m hurting but I wear it well, so I just gotta tell myself

It’s Gonna Be Alright, Alright
When I’m black and I’m blue and I’m losing my mind
Waiting for the sunlight, sunlight
To tell me that I’m Gonna Be Alright
 
Don't wanna make plans on the weekend
In case I fall head first in the deep end
Trust me, you don't want me around
Scream and shout, cause a scene, tell me how ya like me now?
I live and breathe what if’s and maybe’s, hate me’s, and come and rearrange me’s
I’m hard to love but I fall easy
 
Oh it’s hard to explain how I’m feeling
Until you’ve walked a couple miles in my shoes
Oh a smile it can be so deceiving
I’m hurting but I wear it well, so I just gotta tell myself

It’s Gonna Be Alright, alright
When I’m black and I’m blue and I’m losing my mind
Waiting for the sunlight, sunlight
To tell me that I’m Gonna Be Alright

When I think I can’t make it through
I tell myself I’m Gonna Be, Alright, alright

When I’m black and I’m blue and I’m losing my mind,
Waiting for the sunlight, sunlight
To tell me that I’m Gonna Be Alright

It’s Gonna Be Alright, Alright
When I’m black and I’m blue and I’m losing my mind
Waiting for the sunlight, sunlight
To tell me that I’m Gonna Be Alright

Gonna Be Alright

Hi All,

hope you like it. :)

Lyrics - 

Rain – wash over me
Rain – wash over the one I love

Ease the pain - inside
as the sounds of all – that I pass
filter through dulled senses
filters through my thoughts…

I feel your heart it pulls me closer
I feel your heart it pulls me closer to you
Oh closer
I know the same rain that falls down on me
Is the same rain that falls down on you
Can you feel me?
I can’t stop walking

I feel the water move

I can’t stop walking
I must find you
I can’t stop walking
I must find you
No downpour can stop me now
No downpour can stop me now

I remember how your eyes looked
Like pools of pain
As I watched the tears
Rolling down your face
Won’t you believe me?
You misunderstood
My words
I meant them all for good

I meant them all for good
I meant them – for good – for good

Though it is warm outside - I feel the chill on my skin
The wind it blows in my mind
Why did I speak those words?
Oh, please hear me
I didn’t want your hurt
I didn’t mean to cause - the pain
Please let me explain my words
The words

I pull my hood down over my face
Close my eyes as the downpour fades
Into a drizzle, soaking everything
Slowly soaking into me
What I said so wrong
Why you fled so long

Oh believe me
And let this rain wash though
And cleanse the pain
Know my heart is true
Feel me
Look into my eyes and remember who I am
Remember
I’m the one you love
The one you love

I can’t stop walking
I must find you
I can’t stop walking
I must find you
No downpour can stop me now
No downpour can stop me now

I can’t stop walking
Wandering in the rain
I must find you
I can’t stop walking
I must find you

This song was inspired (or should that be triggered?) by half a dozen hunters in pink baseball caps I saw the other day.  Though I don’t think it is really about ‘meat eating’ or ‘gun control’, I suspect it is about something else. 


There’s a gun totin’ meathead at my door
Gun totin’ meathead at my door
Gun totin’ misanthrope
Not holding out a lot of hope
Wonder what he is looking for?

Should I open up, talk politely, build rapport?
With this gun totin’ meathead at my door
Trouble is with misanthropes
It takes a lot to float their boats
I think I might just head for the back door

Just about to hit the sack
When this knuckle head turns up
Pop the trunk on that dam Pontiac
Slips his A.K. out the bag
Puts a clip in, yeah, like that
What fuckin’ baseball cap?

There’s a gun totin’ meathead at my door
Gun totin’ meathead at my door
Gun totin’ misanthrope
Not holding out a lot of hope
I think I may have told you that before

There’s a gun totin’ meathead at my door
Gun totin’ meathead at my door
Gun totin’ misanthrope
Not holding out a lot of hope
Wonder what he is looking for?

Gun totin’, gun totin’
Gun totin’ misanthrope knocking at my door

Shsh..

I said, gun totin’, gun totin’
There’s a gun totin’ misanthrope knocking at my door

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
