Daniel Johnston - Devil Town

[TheLadyRedx]

Does anyone know which version of this song is on the Film4 vampire movies advert at the moment?

I'm pretty sure it's not this singer.

[TheRiotCrew]

@TheLadyRedx

It's David Clements version, it's on his blog. :)

[Rooshic]

@TheLadyRedx na its defo that same singer ..

[schlegelt]

I was living in a devil town Didn't know it was a devil town Oh lord, it really brings me down About the devil town And all my friends were vampires Didn't know they were vampires Turns out I was a vampire myself In the devil town I was living in a devil town Didn't know it was a devil town Oh lord, it really brings me down About the devil town

[SuperJIMI1976]

pure tallent



[Meowabunga]

Yep Yep

[TheMuShRoOmMaN999]

bro?

[TheMuShRoOmMaN999]

yo bro man bro

[giavannag83]

I need this on my itunes! HELP D;

[snoristerlison]

When I heard the bright eyes version of this it built a burning hatred within me that is still with me. Fuck Connor Oberst and everything he has ever done.

[rhetoricjams]

@snoristerlison u mad, bro? I love the original much more obviously...but why bother bringing his name over to a D Johnston vid?

[snoristerlison]

@rhetoricjams Yes I am mad that people would even mention the bright eyes version of this song and that it even exist

[TheMuShRoOmMaN999]

@rhetoricjams u gay bro?

[Biverix]

@snoristerlison That was pretty rude and uncalled for.

[netforce0]

@snoristerlison your hatred is a product of modern technology. back in the day people had to cover songs in order for you to even hear it. Do to capitalism and corporations owning the music business the only way you heard this song to begin with was through Oberst.....so why don't you chill the fuck out and just be happy you finally heard the real version and let some stuff fucking slide. If this is that big a tragedy in your life, i am jealous. There is a lot more fucked up shit than that....

[snoristerlison]

@netforce0 Really because I was pretty sure I heard it on more songs of pain cassette back in 98.

[netforce0]

@snoristerlison Thanks for missing my point! Bitch

[snoristerlison]

@netforce0 I never used any derogatory words I don't see why you have to? I didn't miss your point I just think your wrong.

[netforce0]

@snoristerlison awww soo adorable.

[Plexuz0]

@netforce0 in his defence it's not a good cover.

[netforce0]

@Plexuz0 ur a bitch

[ArdillaGilmour]

4 vampires don't like this.

[ShadowsHaveShadows1]

god damn, this version is straight disturbing. i love it.

[BrucasIsBettaThanYou]

@HymieSompsins Yeah, I just looked up the Bright Eyes version. It's meh.

[FoMyMusic]

i accidentally disliked this):

[gkjmb]

Who's the one idiot who gave it a thumbs down.



[harrysmyhomeboy]

It's like Gummo

[RugbyDemon6789]

the first note he sings in this song is so damn high lonesome

[BrucasIsBettaThanYou]

I heard the Bright eyes cover first on FNL,and everywhere I read, a lot of people said that one was better, so i didn't bother searching up the original. But damn. This is incredible. I still love the Bright Eyes cover, but this is...haunting.

[FromThatShow]

I've just been listening to this on repeat all morning

[sleepily]

this should have been in 'twilight'

[toliveortodie13]

I've heard so many different versions of this song, but none have had the true emotion that this one has. Johnston's self-obsessed demonism and troubled mind really show here. I hope he found salvation.

[heymrzanzeeba]

ha ha this guys got the exact same name as me, only difference is that i can't sing!

[260SEANFU260]

@heymrzanzeeba I thought you said that was a difference.... expression doesn't equal talent.

[inswoon]

@260SEANFU260 Art is expression and art can subjectively be considered as talent

[NegusOnTheWorld]

wow... thats beautiful

[kaailey]

This song belongs in the movie Gummo.

[Ramulac019]

@kaailey ah! Gummo...and you're right

[jcgamer107]

lol I hate when you find out all your friends are vampires

[netforce0]

@jcgamer107 only thing worse is finding out you are a vampire too

[thedangling]

i wish there was a video for spirit world rising.

[desireexmassacre]

wow. this is beautiful. i went to see Aiden last night, William sang a few lines from this

[citizenlappin]

What a poignant message about being unloved and unwanted. People can be very selfish and the most important message of this song is finding the selfishness within yourself.

[Plexuz0]

@genericusername337 yeah i don't think this song is suppost to be happy, bright eyes really changed the theme

[bluesgopher]

awesome !
