Johnossi is a rock duo from Saltsjöbaden, Stockholm County, Sweden, consisting of songwriter, singer, guitarist John Engelbert and drummer, percussionist, singer Oskar "Ossi" Bonde. Their music is characterized by a full guitar sound supported by Engelbert's unorthodox guitar rig and myriad effects pedals, and Bonde's straightforward beats; studio releases often feature colorful percussion accents on instruments such as tambourine, woodblock, guiro, and chimes. A variety of musical styles appear in their work, from hard rock, to blues riffs, post-punk, and even gloom-pop, though lyrical themes are almost uniformly personal and slightly angsty. They supported Green Day in Sweden on 5/6/2010 at Ullevi.
Engelbert and Bonde first met when they were 12 and 15 years old, respectively, and started playing together as a duo in 2004. They recorded their first album after only five months as a band, and with only three live shows to their credit. Their self-titled first album was released in January 2005 by a small Swedish indie label; it was rereleased in September 2006 by V2 Music with an additional three tracks.
Johnossi is the first album by the Swedish rock duo Johnossi, released on September 25, 2006.
Struggeling through the winter time
black birds in my mind
you don't have to your a star
in the city i live in
and the sun seem so very fragile
all the drinks that you have when you're young
you say that thing would just get better once you're
out of the dark, still struggeling through the winter
time, black bird in my mind.
dying in a social flu
cus' you might never do what to do
living in a social chain
see your confidence flushed
your confidence flushed down the drain.
so you should fill all you need through the summer time
stressed out in my mind
though i don't know the country house
(here i can't hear what the fuck he is saying)
all the drinks that you have when you're young
you say that thing would just get better once you're
out of the dark, but you're struggeling through the
winter time, black bird in my mind.
dying in a social flu
cus' you might never do what to do
living in a social chain
see your confidence flushed down the drain.
you might never know,
you might never know what to do
dying in a social flu
cus' you might never do what to do
living in a social chain
see your confidence flushed down the drain
(here i can't hear what the fuck he is saying)
cus you know in your heart you don't really care
dying in a social flu
cus' you might never know,
you might never know what to do
the things I couldn't hear are up to you to fix. jag
