Lyrics 
I thought that I got over you
After you got under me
I thought that I could learn from you
And I could and I could
You taught me I’m an entity
Panadol & Morrissey
Up at 12 not in bed until 3
But we don’t give a monkeys

Its not an 80’s vibe
Its not a cheap soap opera
Its how we live our lives
It is golden, it is ours

And we harvest the time
We cherish the day
Don’t mind we look ridiculous
Hope we don’t look sane
We give it all we’ve got
And put the kids to shame
We are all laughing ,we are all laughing 
As we harvest our days

And now you cannot stand the sight of me
Tobacco stains and tragedy
More in common with newsnight than glee
Though my eyes still shine
From some gritty punk turned into vintage and twee
From back combed hair to comfy settee
You’ve got a mortgage and 3 cats to feed
But your legs look amazing

No we’ve not gone soft
Just do our hating from comfortable chairs
The gloves are always off
We are special, we are proud

And we harvest the time
We cherish the day
Don’t mind we look ridiculous
Hope we don’t look sane
We’ve mischief in our bones
And longing in our hearts
We are all dancing,we are all dancing
As we harvest our days

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

We Luv The Sunshine

Truth

I came for the countryside and for the salty air
I came for the people found living here
I came for the feel and the open lands
I came to the sunset over Jaywick Sands

It’s a who ya doing and stay in touch
Good morning to a neighbour to thank you very much
So many decent people trying to make their way
From Chadwell St Mary to Layer De La Haye

And we just might have found a better life
Where the kids can grow up well
We walk around like were on holiday
I know that all is well
  
This is Essex
This is Essex
Yeah this is Essex
This is Essex
And this is home

I’m frilled by the night sky 
I see all the stars above
No place has everything 
But this place has everything I love
I love the way that strangers talk to you on the bus
From Brightlingsea to Mersea this is Colchester sending love

This ain’t fake no
This is real
So many special people with (Es)sex appeal
This ain’t no xenophobic overdrve
Or taking back the county to 1985

No this is Essex
This is Essex
Yeah this is Essex
This is Essex
And this is home
Yeah this is home
Every time I think about it 
This is home
I’m home

This is Essex

Lyrics
Far too busy at work, forgetting to smile, so people think you’re moody
Putting on a front, when all you want to do, is lay down and sleep
I don’t need to try so hard to please everybody
I should take some time for myself and bring the goodness back

I just want to get my sparkle back while it’s still intact
I just want to get my sparkle again while it’s still obtainable

Always running for trains and chasing my tail and people think I’m relaxed
Always good for a laugh or am I fooling myself, that I think I’m entertaining
Sometimes I am, sometimes I’m poor, sometimes I need to be shown the door
Sometimes I’m warm, sometimes I’m not, sometimes I’m just impatient 

I just want to get my sparkle back while it’s still intact
I just want to get my sparkle again while there’s still a grain of hope

Baton down the hatches love, I’m letting go the tears
Hold my hand here comes the brighter years 

I just want to get my sparkle back while it’s still intact
I just want to get my sparkle again while it’s still obtainable.

Get my sparkle back

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.

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
