As much as that movie (Once) made me vomit into my mouth, I have to admit this is a great cover. It's pretty hard to fuck up a D. Johnston song, though.
they did a amazing job! Ive never been that impressed by covers of his songs because the artists tend to lose the emotion that daniel puts in his songs. They kept it! awsome job
@mjb13ell no those mental problems and imperfect voice is what makes him and his music so good its music in its truest form all of that other crap is sugar coated and watered down. daniel has a potent form of music some people just cant take how strong it is its only for people with a mature taste in music.
I did not know. I love Daniel Johnston because his stuff can be like brilliant and like on the edge of sketchy crazy like lyrics n stuff. Your clear on why someone wouldnt like his music and thats what makes it good.
What a fucking Wanker. Go back to the college coffee house and impress the psuedo-intellectuals while trying to get in some broads pants after the gig.

This dude is a pretentious wanker. Hes an impostor and a fake. His name should never be mentioned in the same breath as Daniel Johnstons. The emotional hijacking that he sells will be the end of honest music. PLEASE DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS PERSON OR SETTLE FOR THE MUZAK HE "PLAYS". IT IS NOT GENUINE! IT IS COMPLETELY COUNTERFEIT! IT IS A ROT THAT MUST BE HEALED. PLEASE LOOK BEYOND THE SHELL!
When Daniel came first came on the scene a lot of people compared his lyrics to The Beetles. If you seen the new documentary. Daniel got a lot of in influence from The Beetles. He also toured with Nirvana.
wow i just about crapped my pants. glen hansard and marketa irglova singing a daniel johnston song. pretty much the only people who could do it justice.
I liked his raw vocals, he can still project emotion though. Daniel Johnston is just a hard taste for some people, but his writing is so pure ! I just really enjoy his raw stuff. It just makes him seem so much more hungry than rest of the artists. I think he's one of the rare few that just did it to make music and not money. well at least in his priorities.
@starkandarcadia who the hell said that? There is one thing that you need to have or be able to do for loving Daniel Johnston´s music: You need to be able to feel it.
@starkandarcadia I understand why a lot of people don't get his music. He's not the best singer or guitar player in the world. But what makes Daniel's music so special is it's honesty. It's creative expression in the purest of forms.
Too earnest and ginger.
