Aylesbury, England) is an English singer, songwriter and musician.
Courtney spent a large part of his childhood in Seattle,USA, before returning to home country UK as a 15-year-old. This change of scenery comes across as clearly in his eclectic mix of US blues-rock, hip-hop and grunge with British indie melodic sensibilities, as it does in his hybrid US-British twang.

This change of scenery comes across as clearly in his eclectic mix of US blues-rock, hip-hop and grunge with British indie melodic sensibilities, as it does in his hybrid US-British twang.
Playing in various projects and bands growing up whilst developing his sound, Barns incarnation as a solo artist has been an unexpectedly fast paced one. At the end of 2015, his first track ‘Glitter & Gold’, with its rocking gospel-blues and Barns’ honey & sand delivery, soared to #1 on the UK Spotify Viral Chart, #2 on the iTunes Alternative Chart, was added to the BBC Introducing Playlist, clocked hundred of thousands of plays on YouTube, and was featured on the ITV Winter 2015 drama reel, all in the span of two months.
‘Goodbye John Smith’, a poignant piano ballad that channels ageless song-and-voice men such as Johnny Cash and Tom Waits, hit the radars of tastemakers online and further spread the word about Barns, earning him a spot as one of Channel 4’s Future Sounds artists that year.
Barns Courtney released his debut EP, ‘Hands’, a four-track collection, in 2016 on Virgin EMI.

Glitter & Gold
Barns Courtney Lyrics
I am flesh and I am bone
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter and gold
I've got fire in my soul
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter
Like glitter and gold
Like glitter
Do you walk in the valley of kings?
Do you walk in the shadow of men
Who sold their lives to a dream?
Do you ponder the manner of things
In the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark
I am flesh and I am bone
Arise, ting ting, like glitter and gold
I've got fire in my soul
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter
Like glitter and gold
Like glitter
Do you walk in the meadow of spring?
Do you talk to the animals?
Do you hold their lives from a string?
Do you ponder the manner of things
In the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark
I am flesh and I am bone
Arise, ting ting, like glitter and gold
I've got fire in my soul
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter
I am flesh and I am bone
Arise, ting ting, like glitter and gold
I've got fire in my soul
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter
'Cause everybody's in the backroom's
Spinning up
Don't know what you're asking for
And everybody's in the front room's
Tripping out
You left your bottle at the door
'Cause everybody's in the backroom's
Spinning up
Don't know what you're asking for
And everybody's in the front room's
Tripping out
You left your bong at the door
I am flesh and I am bone
Arise, ting ting, like glitter and gold
I've got fire in my soul
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter
Like glitter and gold
Like glitter
Like glitter and gold
Like glitter

I am flesh and I am bone
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter and gold
I've got fire in my soul
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter
Like glitter and gold
Like glitter
Do you walk in the valley of kings?
Do you walk in the shadow of men?
who sold their lives to a dream?
Do you ponder the manner of things,
in the dark
the dark, the dark, the dark
I am flesh and I am bone
Arise, ting ting, like glitter and gold.
I've got fire in my soul
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter
Like glitter and gold

Do you walk in the meadow of spring?
Do you talk to the animals?
Do you hold their lives from a string?
Do you ponder the manner of things
in the dark
the dark, the dark, the dark
I am flesh and I am bone.
Arise, ting ting, like glitter and gold.
I've got fire in my soul
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter
I am flesh and I am bone.
Arise, ting ting, like glitter and gold.
I've got fire in my soul
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter
'Cause everybody in the backroom's spinning up
Don't know what you're asking for
And everybody's in the front room's tripping out
You left your bottle at the door.
'Cause everybody in the backroom's spinning up
Don't know what you're asking for
And everybody in the front room's tripping out
You left your bottle at the door
I am flesh and I am bone.
Arise, ting ting, like glitter and gold.
I've got fire in my soul
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter

Soy carne y hueso
Levántate, ting ting, como el brillo y el oro
Tengo fuego en mi alma
Levántate, ting ting, como el brillo
Como el brillo y el oro
Como el brillo
¿Caminas por el valle de los reyes?
¿Caminas a la sombra del hombre?
¿Quién vendió sus vidas a un sueño?
¿Piensas en la manera de las cosas?
En la oscuridad
La oscuridad, oscuridad, oscuridad
Soy carne y hueso
Levántate, ting ting, como el brillo y el oro
Tengo fuego en mi alma
Levanta, ting ting, como el brillo
Como el brillo y el oro
Como el brillo
¿Caminas por la pradera de la primavera?
¿Hablas a los animales?
¿Mantienes sus vidas por una cuerda?
¿Piensas en la manera de las cosas?
En la oscuridad
La oscuridad, oscuridad, oscuridad
Soy carne y hueso
Levántate, ting ting, como el brillo y el oro
Tengo fuego en mi alma
Levanta, ting ting, como el brillo
Soy carne y hueso
Levántate, ting ting, como el brillo y el oro
Tengo fuego en mi alma
Levanta, ting ting, como el brillo
Porque todo el mundo está en la trastienda
Dando vueltas
No recuerdo que estas pidiendo
Y todo el mundo está en la habitación de en frente
Tropezando
Dejaste tu botella en la puerta
Porque todo el mundo está en la trastienda
Dando vueltas
No recuerdo que estas pidiendo
Y todo el mundo está en la habitación de en frente
Tropezando
Dejaste tu botella en la puerta
Soy carne y hueso
Levántate
Tengo fuego en mi alma
Levanta, ting ting, como el brillo
Como el brillo y el oro
Como el brillo
Como el brillo y el oro
Como el brillo
