I like the way he strains to make the music happen, as if he is battling his body for the right to let his soul speak. Its intoxicating.

this is especially moving when you find out he had schizophrenia

I like the way he's pretending to give a bj to the microphone.

i love his voice honestly. he’s amazing. i hate how people say he’s trying to make others feel sorry for him. i’m glad he speaks his mind.

@dustintravis8791 4 жыл бұрын

I've never felt that about Daniel, not for one second. I think he's always just had this feeling of needing to perform and never thought about it at all... like he felt he was put on this earth perform and it wasn't about trying to be the best and I've never felt he used his mental illness to his advantage...I've just never gotten that from him. It's hard to explain Daniel, but he certainly never came off as being pretentious, to me he has a very sweet and kind soul afflicted by mental illness.

as i review the posts, i see how people are so inately cruel. my own petty opinion is that daniel, regardless of his mental/emotional status, is a musical genius and has inspired countless others, including myself, to do something with themselves; artistically speaking.....

@RobGordon35 14 жыл бұрын

This man has a delicate and rare musical gift, his story is one of great struggle and hardship. This guy is a genius and a tortured one at that. He's only... what, maybe 49 and he looks about 60. I'm just glad we are lucky enough to hear his songs and see him perform when he is able. Legend.

Daniel Johnston was an artist in all aspects...He wasn't a musician per se, but he radiated alot of passion as an artist...his lyrics are very witty and deep...he is raw and everything he sings sounds genuine and from the heart...I can't say that about many of today's artist...

Trying to remember, But my feelings can't know for sure. Try to reach out But it's gone... Lucky stars in your eyes... I'm walking the cow... I really don't know how I came here... I really don't know why I'm stayin' here... Oh, Oh, Oh. I'm walking the cow... Tried to point my finger, But the wind keeps blowin' me around In circles...circles...

I love all Daniel's music but all the chord organ demos i.e. Yip Jump Music are my favs. The way he used it ,not only for chords but hitting the keys percussively, really make the songs something special.

I love this song man. Got respect for Daniel. It's a shame he had to be put on medication, a tragic story but a brilliant mind. It's funny (and sad) how we as people collectively can't take someone who's different from the rest of us. "Tried to point my finger But the wind was blowing me around In circles" Great stuff and i hope he finds/has found peace.

I watched the documentary "The Devil and Daniel Johnston" and apart from it being frightening and heartbreaking, in it there's certain things he said that epitomise what this record means to me. "I'm ok coz I know where ever i go I have music in my heart." His childlike purity stills me. Such a stunning song. Andrea x Andrea covers 'Some Things Last A Long Time' on her new album 'Lifelines' due out on 30 May 2011.

For those who would like to hear some excellent and colorful interpretations of Daniel Johnston's songs I heartily recommend Kathy McCarty's "Dead Dog's Eyeball." Her powerfully straight-arrow singing and imaginative band arrangements fully flesh-out Johnston's songs, not altering a note of the great melodies. For those haters, or those just "on the fence" about his shaky voice and extreme low-fi approach, trust me on this. It's hard to find these days, consult your local record shop.

@kilmcm45 7 жыл бұрын

Indeed, everything mainstream enough to hear on radio or TV these days, sounds like it was produced by the same guy...like color scaling in movies....I love Marvel but whoever Disney pays for color correction, makes everything look like wet cement...bright red and blue get muted to death...music all has to have a kicking beat...I love to dance but music needs to cover the spectrum of human emotion. A modern brakeup song is about feeling angry and empowered....but what about feeling sad that something you said or did, has alienated a person from your life that was special to you? Johnston's music communicates sadness, longing, unfulfilled passion....the messy, subtle, and conflicting places inside the human heart.
