Pleasant and Delightful | The Longest Johns

Buy tickets to our upcoming live-streamed gig here! It's gonna be awesome! 20th June 8pm Eastern (US)

While we were out writing for our upcoming album, we found a lovely field and thought to ourselves; 'a lovely field demands a lovely song!' So we sang the most lovely song we knew. Pleasant and delightful is a Traditional song from the UK and great to sing with a large group.

The Longest Johns

[StartledOctopus]

Terry Pratchett introduced this song to me from a very moving part of I Shall Wear Midnight, and these fine chaps have provided a very moving version of it - one Nanny Ogg would be happy with

[NatalieHolmes]

well how lovely! delightful on the eyes and the ears, the yellow fields combined with robbie's jumper make me very happy

Me and the boys flexing our pollen immunity

This is now the soundtrack to my morning today 👌👌👌

Gosh this is so pretty, both musically and aesthetically. Also Robbie's outfit slaps. I want his sweater.

So this isn't really relevant but I wanna put it here to fuel the algorithm. Anyway recently I've taken up the task of befriending the crows in my backyard. They're quite lovely creatures yah know.

For the A. All i can hear is "Over the hills and far away" from sharp :) Nice song

This song really hit home with me. It's been 20 years since my father William was taken from my mother Nancy. Such a bittersweet coincidence.

TLJ: We made this absolutely beautiful, sad, sweet piece and filmed a gorgeous scene to put this amazing video together for you guys.
The comments: ROBBIE’S SWEATER

[beetlejuiceblues]

Robbie looks so sweet with that flower tucked behind his ear. Love the video and your voices, lads!

[honestbrit]

Longest Jonns have almost single handedly eternalised folk music

[kevinoneil]

These boys are simultaneously bringing back the sea shanty and the barbershop quartet. Well done.

[goose_]

Pleasantly, delightfully adequate! October 10th!

[Boohdot]

And the sharks they played melodeons, and the they played melodeons

[bluefletcherfish]

The Corridor shirt?!?
Now there's a collab I didn't know I needed until now!

[davidcook]

I've been listening to this song for two years now and my throat still keeps lumping up, stopping me from singing this the whole way through. Such sweet, sweet sorrow

[Krendrr]

This is one of my mom's favorite songs and this has become one of her favorite renditions. The harmonies are so rich for only four voices -- wonderful stuff

[stefanul]

This masterpiece asks for a community project. It's absolutely beautiful, warm, melancholic, sad, happy and cozy all at the same time.

[MischiefHowlVA]

Now I have a sudden need to go out and sing shanties in a flower field on a stormy day
