TEDxSydney - Daniel Johns & Josh Wakely - My Mind's Own Melody

[heatherdumas]

This is brilliant. When my life feels gray, I think of this project, and I feel color. I love Daniel. And this guy, Josh, is awesome for bringing it about.

[cordanscedo]

The world needs more Daniel Johns. Genius

[iulisca2000]

" Simply Fantastic "

@infidelity89 Nice...I know everyone's entitled to their opinion, but didn't anyone ever teach you growing up if you don't like something and don't have anything nice to say about it, don't say anything at all. If you had something negative to say you could've tried using your brain and attempted (if possible) to say it in a less abrassive manner. For the record, I think he IS doing what he knows...he only gets better with every project whether it be with or without Silverchair.

[VICTORIANUMBER]

@infidelity89 he change as a person , so he change his music too . sorry but thats his own mind melody now and i love it .

[yehmary]

@infidelity89 Embrace change man. Learn to appreciate Daniel's artistic music production.

[zombienationnews]

The transition from live to canned track lost me a bit... but holy shit this is going to be good!

[dwchaser]

Daniel Johns music has enhanced my life more than words can describe. Holding my breath for anything he makes to come out. Brilliance like this is unheard elsewhere.

[BLueEyeButterfly]

@dwchaser word.

[protozerox]

I can't stop watching this video...

[jumbz2]

wow good to see the silverchair stuff coming through... @chronicreptile and yes I hope they make a return in the near future!

[jamesarongray]

This is probably going to sound stupid but i think this would make a really good animation.

[protozerox]

@jamesarongray not stupid :)

[jamesarongray]

wtf that was amazing

[LantaGem]

What a FANTASTIC voice he has!!!

[TheBPDexperience]

This blew me away, goose bumps and all!

[chronicreptile]

the singing reminds me of mike patton, its really cool

[chronicreptile]

I really hope silverchair eventually pick it up from when they left off, Young Modern was a real progression, its the best thing they ever did (thieving birds)

[RazorEdgeBullie]

@chronicreptile fail. xD

[er1cmaurer]

Why?

[bethany2nirvana]

i wish i could download this already..

[neoncito]

SIMPLEMENTE PERFECTO

[blissmanu]

19:18

Across the Night.

This is amazing !



[Polde91]

@blissmanu :D

[Josimarstripes]

Daniel, I love you and your amazing talent!

[alexv1]

any news on a release date on this film?

[betsybk56]

Wow...awesome!

[heatherdumas]

I want to be in that village. I feel like everyone around me is trying to stifle my voice. I feel like I would fit in better there. Daniel Johns is brilliant and an innovator. "We're giving life to your heart." ... "We are completely ripped apart and remade." Love it. And Josh is great too. I look forward to hearing more about this project.

[SageDjavul]

I can't wait. Daniel sounds so beautiful, both vocally and his piano playing.

[akh2790]

wow!!! so incredible, can't stop watching it, daniel has such a beautiful voice and so much talent when it comes to song writing....genious!

[andyeffendy21]

too coldplay..



[mjthea]

@andyeffendy21 too hotplay ... d a n is  too hot !!!!

[Dansilverbabe]

Alright I'd like to know what complete imbecile disliked this..you stupid, boring, unimaginative douche!!!

I love you Daniel your music is always so beautiful. You can sing to me privately in my house anytime! ;)

[Muglez14]

Absolutely excellent.

[soniasonia]

Why do they say "Hey it's called (insert name) in the begging of their voice mail? 

[MrBonnie2659]

@soniasonia "hey, you've called josh" etc. except really quick eg "heyoo call'djosh" because the language is "strine" google it.

[soniasonia]

@MrBonnie2659 oh haha I was like whhaat?? such a strange intro to a voice mail. Thanks for clearing that up for me

[nikandelaine]

nobody else makes me as excited musically other than daniel and jeff buckley

what an amazing talent im lucky to have the fortune of hearing

[freakaholic88]

piece of across the night and those thieving birds........it's amazing Johny !!!!

[TheSara90]

only 6k views:o daniel one of the most underated artist ever

[VICTORIANUMBER]

@TheSara90 HE IS THE BEST , HE JUST BORN IN THE WRONG LAND . HE S NOT AN AMERICAN .

[TheSara90]

@VICTORIANUMBER the notes he sings @ 19:48 to 19:55 gives me shiver every time i listen to them! such an amazing vocalist/textwriter... just pure art

[laurence265]

18:40 that song has a piece from "across the night" in it

[laurence265]

I look forward to seeing this...film..album.. whatever comes out of all this lol.

[banzy3]

Caught the news about Silverchair calling it a day, and after following them for 18 years was quite disheartened until I arrived here... Daniel sounds more liberated, and the collobration is potent.

[Spedly]

@banzy3 16 years

[banzy3]

@Spedly - I thought better than to mention it in my previous post, but there's definitely some Jeff Buckley going on in some of Daniel's new work. I don't really want to compare the two, as Daniel's style is his own, but there's a few parallels, and that is a big positive for me.

[Spedly]

@banzy3 I agree, and that pleases me. Daniel and Jeff are both just so truely inspiring. Daniel is my idol and Jeff was purely amazing. Daniel is the reason Im a musician and I named my dog Grace, and have Jeff's signature tattooed

[Slash1374]

for me, daniel is not this "pop-happy music-guy" .. he makes great emotional music, which can really touch your heart

[markdonat]

this could be some of daniels finest work ever! im simply amazed...

[jestar85]

yuck. massively pretentious. im going to watch/listen something down to earth to cleanse myself

[NevermindKurt94]

The music is really beautiful.

The last three minutes are just breath-taking.

(I think the shirt, Josh Wakely is wearing, is inappropriate and kind of disrespectful. I mean, what is the statement of it? "Failed" or what?)

[HoodedSword]

So beautiful. Daniel, you amazing sexy genius man!

Can't wait to see the film!!

[protozerox]

as long as you and i, are together...what a great line :)

[ericamo]

"whatever works, works". well, THIS is definitely working!

[Slash1374]

daniel only with his piano... for its magical.

[TheHazylum]

awesome... silverchair is sleeping but Daniel's voice keeps traveling around ours souls'dreams...

Thanxxxxxx

[shinsplints101]

great stuff musically!! What a voice! But WHAT are they goin' on about? subject matter is pretty weak and cringe worthy, but if it gets those melodies then ok, continue.

[avedic]

oh wow....i haven't even hit play yet, but reading all these comments has me excited!

[rndivone]

Love the tune at 4:40. soooo catching and mesmerizing! wowzers

[Vlinderization]

this is ORGASMIG #love

[TylerTProductions]

When I heard that Silverchair broke up I was so sad but now I see that Dan is doing what he does best still even without Ben or Chris. Silverchair can wait a couple years again if it means I get to see Dan make something as beautiful as this. I'm glad Daniel is doing this; I think he may have needed another break from Silverchair. That being said, I do hope they come back together again and find that "spark" that they lost for now. Dan, I'm glad you are making beautiful music still!

[rndivone]

OMG beautiful work by these two! Daniel is magical....love you x

[kylcamp]

Nice stuff! Excited and happy to see what happens next. Good luck Dan & Josh!

[lappinsilver]

THAT! Is the Diorama Daniel Johns that I love.

I cannot wait for this.

[TylerTProductions]

@lappinsilver That is exactly what I thought! Diorama Daniel is my favorite Daniel and this is really a treat seeing what he is doing today.

[BLueEyeButterfly]

thumbs up if you replayed 19:43 atleast once

[Dansilverbabe]

@BLueEyeButterfly at least 100 and counting! :)

[OctoberFR]

@BLueEyeButterfly MUCH more than once. Makes me keep faith that something good can come out even if Silverchair's down.

[ThomasMawsonOfficial]

And lyrics from Those Thieving Birds.

[ThomasMawsonOfficial]

Ps. I love him including the slightly edited ending of Across the Night.

[ThomasMawsonOfficial]

This is pure magic. I always thought Daniel was big enough for films. If the work he did with Silverchair did anything, it showed genius, and it's almost like a format as big is ideal for Daniel to really show how much talent he is brimming. Silverchair will continue to be my favourite ever band, and I'm not just talking about Frogstomp. I love everything they've ever done. And I will continue to respect and love Daniel Johns, he's so inspiring. I can't wait till this is done.

[cassandrab00]

@23:09 what are those monitors? Great studio, looking forward to this collaboration.

[martineckaa17]

24:12 and 24:37....OMG!!!!!:-)))))

[VICTORIANUMBER]

[baggyag]

[TheCHADsession]

This film is going to be amazing!

I love Daniels work so much.

[VICTORIANUMBER]

[soutooi]

aaaaaaaaaaaa, i love daniel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[monstryk]

Love this.

[UniQueLyEviL]

Did he say "...I got a full moon beaming through my brain."

He can't even help himself from being poetic [If that is what he said]

LOL how can I love almost everything a person says or does. Ridiculous. ;_;

I would love to have a conversation with him.

[Donov4m]

Daniel, he is great.

[84Crystals]

Beautiful 

[natcait]

I'm wondering why Melody Gardot's face appears in the artwork. Does she have something to do with this project? It's hard to believe that her name could be the only reason for using her picture...

[BLueEyeButterfly]

god that man can sing.

[BLueEyeButterfly]

i'm was pretty speechless after watching this for the first time. it's even better than i thought it would be. now we get to wait forever for the film lol.

[UniQueLyEviL]

I've been listening to this multiple times a day since I first saw it. I really can't wait to see more of this project. It truly is incredible so far...

[TheWaterfall7]

Oh my goodness! This was what I just needed to hear right now and also I've been waiting to see him playing the piano again. Daniel on the piano is a dream come true, a perfect combination. So awesome, so inspirational ...a deep bow!

[natcait]

Daniel Johns is a genius. Full stop.

[lowtidetsunami]

since when does Daniel smoke???

[joeyslb]

@lowtidetsunami Years ago..

[brittyn]

@lowtidetsunami daniel has smoked for like 10 yrs :\

[lowtidetsunami]

@brittyn woah damn, where have i been, i remember he was really strict about smoking, this is news to me

[brittyn]

@lowtidetsunami i think he started when he met natalie 'cause she smokes and that's the first time i ever saw him smoke!

[lowtidetsunami]

@brittyn aha, thanks for clearing that up!

[tyurih]

AMAZING!



[GrungeMetalRocker]

I just hope he comes back ...

[VICTORIANUMBER]

WELL , GOD MADE SO MUCH BEAUTIFUL THINGS , DANIEL JOHNS IS ONE OF THEM .

[MrFucker96TV]

Silverchair will return but in the meantime Daniel Johns have to do this he's doing in the video

[MauveLeStat]

Clap god damn audience, CLAP LOUDER!!!! Is it just me or does it seem like they're not seeing the greatness?

[MauveLeStat]

love the artwork too, anyone know who did it?

[MauveLeStat]

That man never fails to amaze me, he can do no wrong in my eyes!

[UniQueLyEviL]

@MauveLeStat Same.

[ja0401]

Daniel said he needed a break from Chair. I can see it is working WONDERS for him. Keep going, Johnsie! I'm excited for this one! :)

[zydrater]

SO. AWESOME. This music is so Daniel. I can't wait to hear more.

[HausofViolet]

Done watching... yep, incredible. Cant wait to here the score in completion! Thanks for posting this :)

[HausofViolet]

Im only 6 minutes in so far but OMG that bit of song at 4:25 was absolutely beautiful! So moving. I'm so jazzed for this film now.. and I hope they release the score on CD. They better!

[feno5]

WOW!!

[silamf]

awesome!!

[cutsandrainbows]

Thanks for sharing awesome changed the color of my day from suckworthy to cool bananas cheersx

[jcb88ify]

What a beautiful piece of music by daniel. I'm amazed at how much he has grown, musically and spiritually. He really needs to be putting out more music. He doesn't need silverchair to do what he does best. Can't wait for this film/soundtrack. I just hope that they follow through with these plans and get it out to the public.

[Dansilverbabe]

Daniel has me mesmerized this is one of the best videos on YT. The storytelling and explanation of their collabo touched me so deeply. Dan's visually stimulated by films..a true artist at work.

[Dansilverbabe]

I'm so excited about this we are in for a real treat. I love when Daniel asks if it's a love story..so endearing. Anything Daniel works on becomes GOLD thanks for uploading this. :)

[VICTORIANUMBER]

the last song is very emotional ,  no more big lies , his voice !!!!

[UniQueLyEviL]

And Those Thieving Birds..

[brittyn]

beautiful. the last song is so haunting!

[KoolIsKeith]

I kinda wish Daniel got to say more, but I can never hate on hearing new Daniel tunes, even if some of them are just remixes of his older stuff.

[Spedly]

I love how Daniel included a part from Across The Night into one of the songs

[UniQueLyEviL]

OMG!! That little snippet with Across The Night... ;__;

<3

[UniQueLyEviL]

Wow!! <3 <3

[highlyevolv3d]

interesting the last song piece right at the end seems to be taken or at least inspired by "Those Thieving Birds Part 2" off Silverchair's Young Modern

[silchairsm]

I saw it live and it was just as amazing as it is now hearing it again! Thank you!

[DanielJohnsLover]

speechless..... :D

[machinacollecta]

Genius.

[emilyjanedriffill]

Daniel, you inspire me everyday.. I am so proud of you xo I cannot wait to see this film! Looks like it's going to be a true masterpiece!

[asylumcontrol]

Love it! Love it!!!
