Daniel Johnston - Peek a Boo

[IDontEnjoyLife]

I was trying to think of a constructive comment to put but then I realised I'm wasting my time because all you have to do is listen.

[mushymaple]

I like to make things up, it's the healthiest thing that I do

[grahamlaur]

it's just pure, raw, naked emotion... so so beautiful. Why is it so hard for so many people to "get" it? It's not hard. Just listen and feel.

[KollaDudurin]

"no description available"

true that!

[katiemckay]

"You can listen to these songs,

Have a good time and walk away.

But for me it's not that easy.

I have to live these songs forever."

Sums up DJ's entire oeuvre in 4 lines.

[theboognish]

this is a slightly different remastered version from my Stress Tapes CD Boxset. The paino is more muffled in this one and his vocals are more compressed.

[Paracelsus23]

This isn't my fave DJ song but I think its his best.

[BluesYourAss]

....if this song would be more real then blood would run down your PC !

[MrsxCyanide]

Damn really? All because I don't like the same music you do? The human race is always amazing me... Hahahaha. Its nothing personal againt any of you. Its what you like, more power to you its just an opinion of mine. That's all. Relax yourselves.

[jlc122779]

@MrsxCyanide You never heard the expression if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all? I don’t think anyone's mad at you because you don’t like Daniel's music. I think you may have offended some folks by expressing these disparaging remarks. You don’t have to like it, but why take the time out of your day to commit such an act of vandalism (SUCKS… really)? The real question is why affront these people because they like something different that you. Just my opinion...

[monkeygonetoheavensi]

@MrsxCyanide keep your opinions to yourself you fucking cunt

[MrsxCyanide]

SUCKS

[dani9714]

@MrsxCyanide No, honey, YOU suck ;)

[89arnburg]

@MrsxCyanide i hope you take some cyanide

[tload1]

Just shut up and listen! Don't judge just listen to what he says and understand we all have a weakness and we all need help especially fom ourselves.

[Squibfire]

[hankvessel]

[MrsxCyanide]

[AUSROTTENY2K]

[capitala22]

was wondering who the old guy was in the picture then saw the documentary and realized it was him .

[ScumJunkie]

daniel kinda sings like the rolling stones when he was younger

[comeonboeltsy]

The single most emotional song I have ever heard...

We will never know, Daniel...

[forrestofwill]

@comeonboeltsy We will never fully know his brilliance but we can know his emotion, we all feel it but most can't seem to express it.

[ragsyrags4mr4]

just started listening to mr. johnston. i had my ipod on shuffle and this song came on while i was on the subway, coming home from work. it nearly brought me to tears

[tload1]

the truth from Daniel. The chorus describes so many of us.

[XxMaddieMassacrexX]

This song is so good, holy fuck.

[xeonsparks]

Genius.

Sadly most people don't or won't get it.

[sonsofscotlanduk]

@xeonsparks their loss

[kidpink]

[Jesusplant]

so sad though

[mtroar]

Best song ever.
