Just a Boy ~ Dan Olson

[iamintheburg]

Dan, I wasn't at the Homo Convention this year - had that " MOLE " removed in a 2.5-day outpatient procedure, but I have heard of the legendary daswassup69...He's a real ...er, really, he's an absolute......he's the epitome of the attendee at the h.c.  He has a real schwarm for the Jonas Bros. and Zac Efron - or so I've been told. Hey, how was the spread this year at the Conven' ??? Did they serve those awesome sandwiches this year, with the portobellos and mango chutney ? YOWWWZZAAAA

[kaldrenon]

I've been trying to work out how to play this for a little while now, I'd LOVE to have my praise band do the song this Christmas, but I'm a bassist and it's hard to see your fingers. Anything I could do to give you incentive to post chords?

[strawberryme08]

amazing work! LOVE IT

[daswassup69]

i think i saw you at the homo convention

[banion5]

I thought that was you!  I couldn't tell who you were with, your top or your bottom, so I just stayed near the food. Sorry, I didn't mean to be anti-social. We'll get together at the next one, yeah?

[amjPeace]

(((HUGS))) and peace, you nice person, you!

[Careiz14]

Tis was just an amazing song! You are amazing! KEEP GOING! Love it love it love it....and your so very nice!

[Careiz14]

BEAUTIFUL! i love this. really should be a reall christmas song that EVERYONE knows! I wish everyone did know it...hmmm

[pinkberrybear]

This is the first comment I've ever left on Youtube in my years here. But this song truly touched me, and there needs to be more talent, no, more sincere compassion like yours.

Please make more videos.

By the way, Kiss the Girl was priceless :)

[gracemelodyroman]

tienes una voz muy bonita

[Fragilitee]

i love it!!! may i borrow this?

[banion5]

You absolutely may ;)

[Fragilitee]

thank you thank you thank you!!! i absolutely love your voice!!!!!! :))))

[iaminthburg]

One of my favorite themes, no joke: the Nativity as a life, on the side of the road, in the shed behind the warm and safe shelter of that inn....you and Dorothy Parker, dude......I'm seriously and sincerely and joyfully touched. This is a heart-sweller. Thank you, G.

[banion5]

The fruits of my womb are the entrails of your cornucopia. Eat voraciously and often. Happy Thanksgiving, dear burg!

[iaminthburg]

I'm...touched, Dan. I think I'm touched at your tender response. But maybe that lump in my throat is a little bit of ' sick ' at th' image of your fruity womb and a horn full of entrails. Hey to Amber and Deena...and I just found Miss Dork who is real swell herself.

[Uhhuh08]

I love it!

[tovahtovahtovah]

gorjus song.

NZ is better, always will be!

AUE!

haha

[banion5]

I love Oz! As soon as the window opens for a transfer, I'm in! And, thanks for watching!

[florachu2121]

omg cant believe this! ur awesome and nice composition!

[fused1rain]

I like the sound of your guitar. What kind is it? and good job.

[banion5]

It's an Alvarez Jumbo body. They're relatively inexpensive compared to other bigger names, the sound is full and wonderful, and the only thing I can say negatively is that the action is a little tough, but you can always get lighter strings. The electronics are unmatched, too. Thanks for watching ;)

[freedie8610]

very very well done :)

[freedie8610]

very very nice :)

[joshuadawson88]

You are wonderfully talented mon ami. From watching your previous videos I saw that you had a amazing voice but to think that you could also play the guitar while you sing, (A talent I fail to possess due to my clumsiness.) just wow. I've almost finished watching all of your videos and I hope to see more.

[sveon]

Hi man! I was a bit sceptic about the guitar-playing in the beginning, but it gets alot better as the song goes on. Love your voice and the lyrics inspires me alot! Loved it man, keep up this great gift you got!

[dolssen]

[xLadyStardust]

[schaeff13]

[tubachick]

This song is so beautiful. Don't you ever stop being so fabulous, you're inspirational. I've been in a weird mood lately and your videos definitely got me out of the strange funk I was in. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with the world.

[banion5]

Absolutely my pleasure ;) Thank you for watching, and I'm glad my work has been filling a space in a weird mood time.

[bophie1]

I was browsing your music, and stuff and came across this. I LOVE this so much. I got so teary eyed.

[banion5]

I'm so glad you like it. This one is a bit personal, and it's got relatively long history. If you do myspace, check my profile page for how to navigate to another recording of it on my music page.

[much2scandalous]

a friend of mine told me about you and the singing and preforming you do so i thought i'd check it out... much to my surprise i've been fixated on your stuff ever since, you have a raw and precious talent and i appriciate every video you post because i feel like i am getting the opportunity to see greatness! absolutely wonderful nothing else i can really say that brings your videos enough justice

[banion5]

You're wonderful, and I can only hope to live up to the accolades you've just lavished on me. Thanks for watching, Samara!

[monicarnsg]

I heard this in your myspace page first. It almost made me cry!

[EmmieB91]

this song is so beautiful. it made me get all teary-eyed! you have a very nice voice as well. keep it going! :)

[banion5]

Thank you so much!  I'll do my best always ;)

[EnigmatiqueBelle]

Well, you were correct. That was beautiful. I hope that Christmas and New Years were wonderful for you.

And my marriage proposal still stands. lol ;)

[banion5]

Wonderful! (on several counts ;) And, the season came and went with lovely style. I hope all is well in your world, too!

[RemyCanCook]

[banion5]

Thank you so much! I'm on my way to tell her now ;) I appreciate your support and subscription!

[dessaulands]

I KNOW you will be waiting up for Santa Clause.

Another great video. Please let us know when your first CD comes out. It was a pleasant blessing to hear your voice again.

[banion5]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, stopped by, and pimped it on your realitytv page! I saw it! WOOHOO and Merry Christmas!

[AlyseAPS]

Not sure how to say it, I just really loved this song. Great job.

[banion5]

Well said.  I'm ecstatic that you did. Merry Christmas!

[terryhurst]

Little known fact; I met Danielson in 2003. ...Did I inspire this song? I don't know, maybe... or it could have been Jesus. Who knows?

[banion5]

Yeah...it was Jesus...but, you're right...who knows?

It's great to hear from you, Terry! I'm hoping all is well in the world! Whatcha up to?

[KMausi90]

hey, eventhough i'm not religious, and i dont really believe in jesus, this song really touched me. you sing so beautifully. merry christmas!

[banion5]

Merry Christmas indeed! I'm glad you like it, and I'm especially pleased that you stopped by to give it a listen despite any potential misgivings. Merry Christmas!

[fiver00]

I'm personally pretty conflicted in my views regarding religion but that doesn't change my appreciation for such a beautiful and impressive song. Thanks for sharing your gifts, Dan.

Happy Holidays

[banion5]

I'm not here to convince you otherwise. I'm not in on religion either, but I think Jesus was who he said he is. I'm just glad you gave the song a listen. My appreciation goes to you, and Merry Christmas!

[jmccart6]

What a great song. Made me smile. Merry Christmas!

[banion5]

Merry Christmas to you, too! Thank you!

[winklie]

Thank you for making this video. It honestly made my day. Here I was, thinking the whole world has gone commercial, and suddenly there's a little bit of hope that somewhere in the world, people remember that Christmas is about Jesus, and only Jesus, and that He is more than enough reason to celebrate!

Kelly ~/`~

[banion5]

Yeah...I don't really get off the commercial side of things. It bothers me...even moreso that I'm 13,000 miles from home during the one season that I don't like to be. Jesus, family and love, and my Christmas would be set. Thank you for your wonderful comment!  Merry Christmas!

[turtlelovesangel]

Oh.. wow! Amazing melody and lyrics. Write more songs, please. This one was absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for putting it up :D

[banion5]

Absolutely my pleasure! I'm glad you enjoy it! And, I'll get right on that ;)

[meggabriel20]

I love this song and I love Jesus too! You did an amazing job! I added it to my myspace profile it's just the song i've been looking for :) Thanks and Merry Christmas!!!

[banion5]

Yes!  Thank you! Merry Christmas to you!

[Exsiss]

Great song Dan! You didn't disappoint!

[banion5]

Excellent! Thank you very much!

Merry Christmas!

[MormonPenguin]

You have an amazing voice and this song is absolutely wonderful =)

[banion5]

I'm glad you stopped by for just that reason! Merry Christmas!

[livetheatre]

thank you for this gift...it is a beautiful song.

Merry Christmas Banion5!

[banion5]

Thank you for dropping by! Merry Christmas to you, too, and I hope all is well in your world. Peaces

[livetheatre]

All is well...even though my wife and I struggle to pay bills and Christmas will not be about presents this year for us...but we are truly blessed abundantly. Being 35 and a father (one girl with another on the way)changes your priorities immensely.

[banion5]

I hear that. If anything useful comes out of a waning economy at this time of year, I hope that it would be that people focus on important things...like family. Commercialism all but ruins my perspective. Congratulations on an expanding family, and blessings for the change in priorities ;)

[woodlandcreature22]

whatever happened to OUR song??!??!?!!!?!? you have less than 80 days to finish it...ps, this one is, as usual, amazing.

[banion5]

I'm a toolbag. I haven't forgotten. I've been delaying myself unnecessarily. It's on my short list of things to do. Never fear! I love you!

[livemusiclove]

Wow, that is such an amazing song...everytime I hear you sing it brightens up my day, and this is such a beautiful song! You should most definatly write some more.

Have a Very Merry Christmas!!

Amy :)

[banion5]

Thank you so much! I'm planning to write more, but it's going to come with my film projects. I want to write for a purpose.

[bigwig2katie]

you honestly never fail to impress me

[KristiAnnelie]

oh my god you are SO GOOD!!! =) I love it!!!

[musicalmacken89]

so yeah... you... are the man...

That... is an extremely awesome song both lyrically and musically. It's interesting to see you throw something like this up there, and inspiring at the same time. Not sure how religious you are, I'm assuming you are since you wrote it, but wow, it was great. Can't wait to buy all these songs on your hip record ;]

Happy holidays Dan

[banion5]

Thank you so much!

I don't qualify as religious because I don't care about manmade attempts to anthropomorphize God, but I do love Jesus, which I take as God's way of doing that Himself.

And, thanks always for stopping by!

Merry Christmas!

[demonicsatirist]

I almost added this song to my MySpace earlier today. And then I realized that I hate profile songs...

But ALMOST! It's purrdy. And you're gifted.

[JerkyPuck]

I totally did! LOL! I embedded the video onto my page so everyone I know can love Dan forever and ever.

[banion5]

Well, in a moment of weakness, if you go the extra mile, let me know. I'm checking yourspace out right now ;)

[demonicsatirist]

Alright alright. I was weak. I couldn't resist. Damn you and your melodious pipes!

[banion5]

WOOHOO! We landed on the moon!

[JerkyPuck]

Dan, this is really an accomplishment! I am not just blowing smoke. This song is VERY well put together. I absolutely am astonished by it moreso than I have ever been by anything you have posted. I wish I could put into words how impressed I am by you. Incredible.

[banion5]

I'm definitely glad you like it. I don't take much credit for it. It fell out onto the paper in about a half an hour. I'm not that good. I'm just glad you think this is.

[MissBroadwayDork]

Don't hate my but I can't understand the lyrics for some reason. The melody is very pretty though!

[banion5]

It's because I sang them in a germanic hill language. It's not just you. They are now in the video description! Thank for asking!

[harmonyaddict]

Wow, I love it! You are so talented! Can you post the lyrics? I would love to read them. :)

[banion5]

They're in the video description as of right now! Thank you for stopping by!

[ANTHONYRAPPISAGOD]

good job, once again!

are you sure you're not sick of me yet? :)

[banion5]

Positive ;)

[AmberNicolePatrick]

that's my baby right there. i know it's about Jesus but this song reminds me of falling in love with you. ;)

[banion5]

It can be both ... ;*

[MissBroadwayDork]

That made me tear up...is that sad. I feel your your guys grandma or something.

[banion5]

You don't have to be Grandma! You can be our friend, Alex, who's in touch with her emotional core. That's just as good without the geriatrics.

[DShines22]

You've got a new mic.

I've got jealous.

spiffy.

[banion5]

It's not as new as you'd think...I just haven't let him play on the videos until now ;) And, if you know where to return that jealous, you can ;)
