Outnumbered

I know you struggle with math
and I'll add
you have the mind to subtract
a fraction

you blocked a volcano's hole
how'd you expect that to go?

I know you struggle with thought
frayed and fraught
you have a mind to be bought
so distraught
push me past lines in the sand 
and god am

you own a lackluster soul
one I wouldn't like to know

I knocked but no one was home
only one oar was in that boat

rather pass joint to your hand
understand?

and this is no game
divine just feels divine inside your brain
and there is no shame

get off on my pain
and I will overload my pain to feign
and math is so great

It’s a time of the sighs and the lies on the radio
Dumbing down
It’s a sign of the times and the crimes of the bully boys
Lost in all that noise, with their dangerous toys
Shifting sands, shifting sands, camouflage guilty hands
Do the straw man, law man, flag man, bogey man
Fooling fools
Salesmen, pale men, stale mediocrities
Riding the wave of faith, nothing’s safe

Strive all your life, take the long road to understand
Knowledge base
You can search and research, learn the lessons from the history
They believe the mouth instead
The mouth in the empty head

The new album Walken400 album - Kindness, Jazz and a Bit of Tidying Up is available now https://snippetcuts.bandcamp.com/album/kindness-jazz-and-a-bit-of-tidying-up

Walken400 is a side project of the independent British DIY recording artist Johnno Casson (aka Snippet) and it has been an absolute joy to engage with so many new friends here on Soundcloud, thank you for your support.

Kindness, Jazz and a bit of Tidying Up is an album of tall tales and itchy beats, all wrapped in a cheeky, freaky & quite unique-y ball of love.

Walken400 sprung from an active imagination, from listening to tons of glorious jazz, early Bow Wow Wow, Talking Heads, French Pop Music and awkward synthy sounds from around the world, from too much cheap red wine, from taking a vow to always choose kindness wherever possible and from watching Christopher Walken do his wonderfully unique thing in film.

Sounds like a big chunky man (as I am) falling over in a synth superstore, trying to be inconspicuous whilst the drummer keeps time and the singer writes about it.

Johnno was recently described by the wonderfully supportive Tom Robinson as a pioneer of Wonky Pop and was an interview guest on Tom's show on BBC 6 Music back in the heady days of March 2020 (BC).

Johnno has also been described as a pioneer of the Trip-Hop scene of the early 1990's with his band Deep Joy and their association with labels like Mo' Wax and in working with James Lavelle, and legends of their own scenes - (the late great) Andrew Weatherall and Adrian Sherwood.

More recently Johnno has been working with Luke Barwell aka Bitmap and Tim Jones from Brynovsky, whilst running a special social club called The Warm and Toasty Club. This is Johnno's 10th album.

Here's some more back story flavour from Johnno if you want to know more.

The idea of trying to write new songs whilst the world was gripped by Covid-19 was initially very far from my mind and for a good chunk of lockdown it stayed that way.
But music has always been there for me during times of good or times of bad in my life and it was inevitable that I would turn to making music music and writing songs as a way of making sense of things. So I sparked up the synth and tbh it was initially a barren time for me creatively, nothing was happening songwriting wise for weeks.

The blight of mental health issues were gripping me strong and shooting holes in my confidence and telling me that maybe I couldn't do it anymore, i was washed up and I couldn't produce anything of any worth.
So I just wanted to see if anything happened when I got on the computer every day, could I still write and create songs during these crazy times?

Would it still be a relaxing and joyous thing to do around all the worry and concern of just getting through this pandemic and the fight for social justice?Well a little while after that new songs starting to bubble to the surface and what you hear on this page are the results of my endeavours, hope you enjoy
