‘Detectorists’ is an original piece written by Flynn for Mackenzie Crook’s Detectorists, a lighthearted comedy series airing for 3 seasons between late 2014 and late 2017
The track features as the opening song to each episode, usually after an opening scene
Will you search through the loamy earth for me
Climb through the briar and bramble
I'll be your treasure
I felt the touch of the kings and the breath of the wind
I knew the call of all the song birds
They sang all the wrong words
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
(Mmmmmm)
Will you swim through the briny sea for me
Roll along the ocean's floor
I'll be your treasure
I'm with the ghosts of the men who can never sing again
There's a place follow me
Where a love lost at sea
Is waiting for you
Is waiting for you
Detectorists was written by Johnny Flynn.
