Kentucky Pill, Johnny Flynn



This song is just so catchy and enjoyable, the closest Flynn comes to pop. I've always found his voice deeply soulful which lends itself well to when he's dealing with deeper subject matter, but this is one of his simplest tunes. Kentucky Pill is Flynn expressing how he loved his childhood games, and he uses it to express not just his nostalgia, but also those fleeting loves - not only when you were younger - but how romances come and go through your life. It's deeply romantic, moving and purely joyous. It's when listening to Flynn that you marvel at how his close contemporaries Mumford and Sons have had such success whilst he's glaring in the shadows, I don't mind though, Flynn is still a cherished artist for many.
