I had the opportunity to play in Daniel’s band “Danny and the Nightmares” and during those two years I got to know Daniel on a personal level. He was such an interesting, unique person, you never knew what he was gonna do, say or sing! I miss u

I Sure Do Miss You Daniel

I remember the same day Daniel died I had a gig, didn't often play his music but played 'True love will find you in the end' no one was listening or knew who he was but i'm still glad I did it

good lord the Phoebe Bridgers cover made me sad in two seconds flat

Lucius - "Walking The Cow": I am obsessed with it - so beautiful...

"I'm just saying how I feel. Maybe you could try to understand. I'm a man who needs you." - Peek A Boo 😭

i’ve never heard of daniel before, and i still have no idea who he was, but this somehow ended up in my recommended and i’m glad it did. he must’ve been a great man if he had an impact like this - very beautiful. may he rest in peace.

Phoebe really gave that song a special something

Daniels songs have a mixture of innocence and wisdom I’ve never heard before. As long as people sing and listen to his songs he’ll still be around.

Jeff Tweedy - "Cold Hard World" 0:36 Maya Hawke & Jesse Harris - "Devil Town" 3:33 Devendra Banhart - "Dream" 5:34 Lucius - "Walking The Cow" 6:51 Cut Worms - "To Go Home" 9:59 Claud - "Frankenstein Love" 15:16 The Lemon Twigs - "Scuttle Butt" 17:07 Waxahatchee - "I Had Lost My Mind" 19:51 Adam Green - "Casper The Friendly Ghost" 22:12 Fontaine’s DC - "I Live My Broken Dreams" 24:19 Zella Day - "Some Things Last A Long Time" 26:55 Kevin Morby - "Brainwash" 32:11 Phoebe Bridgers - "Peek-A-Boo" 36:21 Beck - "True Love Will Find You In The End" 41:42 Daniel Johnston - "When I Met You" 43:58 Jody Seabody & The Whirls - "Worried Shoes" 50:55

Daniel Johnston is more important to me then any other musician. I first listened him this year by complete fluke due to the fact built to spill started making an album of his songs. same month as UK went into lockdown. I lost my job, I lost my mind, I lost myself but I found Daniel Johnston at the time I needed him most. Daniel said that "There's a devil and he knows my name" The only thing he was to me was an angel. He saved me. Thank you, RIP Daniel.

Maya Hawke did a beautiful job covering "Devil Town". Tears falling, lump in my throat. You'll forever be missed, Daniel.

That cover of Peek-A-Boo is incredible.

I can’t believe I can see a Daniel Johnston writing process at the end of this! God bless you!

daniel johnston still lives within me but not in the same form he once was, even after death i feel like something has left my body and can no longer be filled idk why we miss u casper

They should press this onto vinyl. 'Honey I Sure Miss You - An Ode to Daniel Johnston.' Had me crying half way through walking the cow...

woww their walking the cow cover is so beautiful

This always makes me think of Daniel: "Sometimes it makes me sad though- Andy being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more gray and empty that they’re gone. I guess I just miss my friend." The place we live in now, is much more gray, but We had you Danny, We still do, but we used to, too. Love you Danny.

People use the word genius a lot but Daniel really was a genius. His music was simple yet complex. He was absolutely unbelievable and easily in the same league as John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Buddy Holly, Hank Williams. That’s his company.

I spent a good hour crying into my ice cream. What a lovely tribute.

I think Daniel lives forever in his music.

Wow, that Phoebe Bridgers' version of Peek A Boo really got me. And then to contrast that with True Love Will Find You In The End is genius programming.

From now on Im only watching concerts performed in living rooms, porches, and yards. Sound is better- more intimate - more interesting.

cut worms that freaking destroyed me. thanks for such a beautiful rendition.

Jason Molina and Daniel Johnston are singing a duet in heaven.

Phoebe covered Peek-a-Boo a couple years ago and I’ve been repeating it ever since. Thank god she decided to do it again here

That intro hits different now. Daniel we sure miss you

i miss Daniel Johnston so much. It was my dream to meet him. I have many notes from the age of 16 and 17 manifesting it over and over. I wore the ugliest sharpie shirt to school that said Daniel Johnston is Jesus or something like that LOL. I agonized over his lyrics and creativity and even made a journal for songs that weren't on rejected unknown and drew dead dogs eye all over it. As much as it sucks to never had that dream realized I know that in person maybe he wasnt the same as the superhero with grand illusions that helped me so much in my youth. So thankful for everything he ever brought into this world and hearing these covers so he can live on. HE WILL LIVE FOREVER.

RIP to the best singer songwriter of all time. We all miss you Daniel

I am definitely NOT crying to the Peek-a-Boo cover

Only discovered your music after you passed away. So glad I did and thanks to all the great musicians who did you proud.

Who's still listening in 2022??? No I mean seriously, why aren't there more current comments? This video is on my top 10 albums I've ever heard. So many people are missing out by never being exposed to this. I'm going to go thank the friend that told me about it and tell a few more people. You should too.

No matter how many times I come back to this the walking the cow cover hits me so hard. Indescribably bittersweet. Everyone did such a beautiful job. Rest in peace Daniel, forever loved and never forgotten.

I read an article in the Seattle times by a guy criticizing the resurgence of Daniels materiel as somehow making fun of mental illness. It was clearly written by someone who doesn't understand what it's like to experience "mental illness." I view Daniels art and musical achievements through the lens of understanding of what it must be like to be that empathetic and emotionally raw as I imagine Daniel was. What a brilliantly expressive soul and kudos to him for capturing his beautiful and sometimes brutal insights into what it's like to exist here in this world everyday.........Some things Last a Long Time......for a very good reason

The only thing that is actually pretty good in this hell of a year

I only saw Daniel once in the nineties with Half Japanese in the small town of Hann Muenden. Since then his music has accompanied me

It's cool to see Daniel's art on Adam Green's wall

where would Indie rock be without that voice? No Decemberists, Flaming Lips, Modest Mouse, how many others

Lennon song is my favorite Daniel Johnston song, so underrated. I miss him so much, I never even got a chance to meet him. but he’s impacted my life so greatly. It makes me so sad how to see how much of a tormented life he lived, we didn’t deserve him and his beautiful art.

I’m a seventeen year old troubled musician. I found Daniel when I was 13 and he has been the biggest influence in my music and art. It hurts every single day he’s gone. He did so much for me. Thank you so much Daniel. I wish I could say it to him. Thank you.

I miss you so much Dan...you helped me through so much...

I discovered Daniel trough the "Kids" movie in the 90`s. He always gave me chills when I heard his songs. Now he`s gone, and these artists still give me that feeling playing his songs. Thank you for honoring a great underated artist!

i miss him so much

RIP Daniel. You are the best.

I'm glad at least a few songs weren't turned into slow downers. Lucius absolutely nailed it. Miss Daniel and his humor. How he could take some serious words and match them with an energetic, catchy melody. He was a Burt Bacharach in the rough.

What a touching tribute.

What an honest and beautiful tribute! I burst out crying a few songs in. I can't believe that Daniel is gone. He possessed the most sensitive heart and such a talent for telling stories through song. Daniel is simply irreplaceable! And WOW...Maya Hawke!

Wow amazing seeing him write “when I met you” like that! It’s such an amazing poem/song. I wondered how he wrote it and then seeing it like that was so cool! How he made it up as he went. So inspirational

It's sad listening to these songs, and imagining the trajectory of Daniel's life, and how wild the ride was. His mania made him fearless at times, and it took him places, but the lows were dark. To keep going between those states has to be tormenting. One minute you feel like you can do anything, and the ideas just flow and the next, you're seeing demons. His life was fascinating, tragic, and an example of what can be achieved if we just lose the fear, and go for it.

Cut worms made me laugh and cry at the same time.. Good job my dude

Daniel pretty much made me write my first song, listening to his music made me get out of that writers block I had for years. Ever since I heard Daniel, I’ve been writing songs non stop & I still catch myself going back to listening to his songs to see how a song is written without fear or doubt. The key is: to have fun with it. That’s what Daniel taught me.

As sad as it is to have him gone, I;m kind of glad in a way. I mean, he was holding on and suffering for a long, long time. Like an old dog, it's not fair to keep something just because you love it. I feel like he's finally free, leaving a lifetime of inspirational music in his wake.

Daniel johnston, you are heavily missed. As a young 17 year old, i discovered your music when i was just 14. It made a huge impact on me. Not only your music inspires me but your story does as well. You suffered for the sake of art, you are a true artist. You are the reason i strive to stay alive when times are rough, I wish i couldve attended a gig before you passed. Rest it easy daniel.

i miss you dearly Daniel thank you for all you've given us

this was such a heartfelt tribute full of many talented artists. definitely a video we all needed right now.

I've just learned Daniel died. So sad, he was a brilliant song writer. RIP Daniel.

Such a beautiful project. Every song is a classic!

These are beautiful renditions that highlight the special talent for song writing Daniel had. It would be amazing if they could be put on an album with the proceeds going to his family...

I find it beautiful that these famous musicians are respectfully paying tribute to a man who had music emanating from his soul.

Love you and miss you everyday Daniel!

thank you dan johnston we miss ya

I'm doing fine Daniel I just wish you were here still.... I think about you daily. You are my biggest inspiration. You were such a go getter. You were a Super Star.

God I Miss You Daniel. You gave me confidence NO OTHER MUSICIAN could inspire within me.

bouncing back and forth between this and the original versions by DJ is a pretty wild emotional ride

Thank you Daniel. You will be missed.

The ending footage is so profoundly interesting. Thank you !!!

I never heard of Cut Worms before this but I certainly am going to hear more now.

If you can see this Cooper I miss you.

Love you Danny, wherever you are

Miss u. Thanks for sharing a whole bunch of you with all of us.

This made me cry

ahhh Zella Day is always wonderful

I think there's a special thing to be said about those of us that gather around this man's work.

All the artists did a wonderful job honoring Daniel! The footage of him at the end was really something; brought me to tears 💜

Why everything sounds extra sad, when you give Beck an acoustic guitar?

I like how at the end we're sitting in with Daniel and he's writing, working out how a song will go. He seemed like a workhorse when it came to his art.

zella days cover full on made me weep that was magical
