Description:
Listen up and I'll tell a storyAbout an artist growing oldSome would try for fame and gloryOthers aren't so boldEveryone, and friends and familySaying, "Hey! Get a job!""Why do you only do that only?Why are you so odd?We don't really like what you do.We don't think anyone ever will.It's a problem that you have,And this problem's made you ill."Listen up and I'll tell a storyAbout an artist growing oldSome would try for fame and gloryOthers aren't so boldThe artist walks aloneSomeone says behind his back,"He's got his gall to call himself that!He doesn't even know where he's at!"The artist walks among the flowersAppreciating the sunHe does this all his waking hoursBut is it really so wrong?They sit in front of their TVSaying, "Hey! This is fun!"And they laugh at the artistSaying, "He doesn't know how to have fun."The best things in life are truly freeSinging birds and laughing bees"You've got me wrong", says he."The sun don't shine in your TV"Listen up and I'll tell a storyAbout an artist growing oldSome would try for fame and gloryOthers aren't so boldEveryone, and friends and familySaying, "Hey! Get a job!""Why do you only do that only?Why are you so odd?We don't really like what you do.We don't think anyone ever will.It's a problem that you have,And this problem's made you ill."Listen up and I'll tell a storyAbout an artist growing oldSome would try for fame and gloryOthers just like to watch the world.Daniel Johnston is a brilliant songwriter, singer and artist. He has been diagnosed with manic depression, some people call him crazy others call him genious. I discovered him some days ago(yes i'm ashamed) and i got super interested in his career and life. Watch the documentary "The Devil and Daniel Johnston" (2006), you won't regret it!:)Here it is the most beautiful and touching song he has(i guess!):)I just collected some pictures and put them all together with the song. Sometimes they match with it and sometimes they don't:P some are pretty bad but most of them are Daniel Johnston's pictures and drawings:) hope you like it!:D xx

Apr 11, 2012 - And you have the greatest nickname on youtube. Double Win. Triple Win if you count the comment itself.
cameronjmihock Says:
Apr 11, 2012 - that is because while you were busy being brainwashed and falling in line and trying to get fucked by chicks who would never dream of touching you Daniel Johnston was at home creating art, going insane and keeping it real as fuck.

Apr 11, 2012 - this song is so wonderful. my favorite of his that i know. i admittedly have not heard it all. this song makes me cry.
AvantGrapes Says:
Apr 13, 2012 - There's a good side to it...I have my share of mental issues and I don't think that I would have music sounding the way it does if I was "normal." My mental illness completely drove me to view life in a different and more real manner. It's tough, but there is great wisdom to be obtained through pain. I hope you can see it. :D

May 1, 2012 - Beautiful mind, beautiful voice. Truly an understated genius. Makes you wonder how many more artists are out there that we don't hear about because they're type-cast as "Crazy" by todays shit excuse for music.

May 8, 2012 - so glad this is here for me to visit from time to time
James Dew Says:
May 23, 2012 - There are literally hundreds of thousands of great musicians out here. No only are they type-cast as crazy but often their production value is low and most people cannot recognize a diamond in the rough.
