Daniel Johnston Dances

[benwaggett]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DJ

[TheSickamoreCULT]

I love this guy. This isn't sad at all,he's just fuckin around. I mean shit guys,you feel tk bad for him. He talks wierd and has bi polar disorder. If he talked normal in sure nine if you would feel nearly as bad.

[littleweloosmom]

Now I have to get my dvd out to see what he was listening to. I forget, which means it's been too long since I watched this doc.

[zimonslot]

yet... sad?

[zimonslot]

so, so beautiful...

[k1ngofmiaea]

this song just makes me want to cry

[strungoutbeaner]

He shadowboxes! =D

[Neoherrera]

He sings my life........

[bmc825321]

much love

[whiskeyspray]

Someones not taking their meds.

[triqqey]

Do the Truffle Shuffle!!!!!!

^ see what I did there? I used more than one exclamation point, that means it's super serious.

[TRUEiMPROrecords]

Daniel Johnston looks like the happiest guy on Earth. After me :D

[TheBendkillers]

Me pareció realmente brutal este documental y sobre todo conocer la figura de Johnston...me dieron una pena terrible sus familiares,sobretodo sus padres (como han sacrificado la mayor parte de su vida por intentar que se cumplieran los deseos de su hijo pasandolo realmente mal) cuando todo hubiese sido mejor si lo hubiesen dejado abandonado a su suerte..Held the hand para mi,es uno de los mejores temas que he oido en mi vida,simple,directo..al corazón

[macareno80]

No se cómo explicarlo. Esta danza es la síntesis de su vida y obra, cargada de vitalidad, tristeza, emoción, sinceridad y surrealismo.

Me encanta el talento de Daniel

[4jonah]

The best part is his shaking at the end. its so full of angst and despair. Its the PERFECT closing. This is my fav music documentary. Fearless Freaks (Flaming Lips) and Wise Old Little Boy (The Microphones) is awesome too

[kakonis]

Daniel Johnston is the greatest gangster rapper of all time.

[665nxtdoortothedevil]

**chills**

[UsefulChamber]

this is my favorite movie scene of all time

[665nxtdoortothedevil]

That is my favourite comment of all time.

[11ames11]

check out my cover of daniels johnstons classic sorry entertainer just click on my name tell me what you think its my first cover

[MarcoSempai]

Held the hand of Simpsons!!! jeremias the inocent!!! help me!!!!

[Alfrunk]

"I think I'm dumb". Do you really think that's a good song?? Drool to both chords - think of the "symbolism"!

[thesimp008]

que flashero.

[psicosismortal]

can i go a little more earlier

[LobsterChopz]

Daniel Johnston is such a great musician

[bruno1980415]

whats the name of this song?

[pjbrubak]

It's called "Held the Hand". One of my favorites of his, and actually one of his most polished.

[ChristianMierda]

polish my dick, fucker. Johnston sings my life!

[pjbrubak]

good thing you found him then

[wizmith1]

he really lets u into his life, it's pretty sad...

[dlwhinery]

The fact you put Stayley and Cobain in the same list as John Lennon is really pathetic. First of all, There was no SAVING John Lennon unless you could've talked some sense into the man who brutally shot him down. It's not like he killed himself like the other two. Second off, Kurt Cobain is a terrible musician. His music was bland and simplistic and he only got recognition for being eccentric. He was a second rate musician in life and a second rate musician in death.

[phatjesus008]

you sir , are an idiot.

[tomgibo]

Lennon was a emotive tosser who helped transform left wing politics, from an active and working system, into a series of meaningless and substenceless statements. He was a self-serving egoist and did a lot of damage.

[motorwawt]

amen to that.

[ssproutz]

DLwhinery- Music is art and millions of music lovers loved his works. If it sounds bland to you so be it but that sure doesn't mean that millions of listeners are hearing something great. When nevermind was released it blew the doors off most other stuff. And you were about 5years old.

[1TheBeatles1]

daniel johnston is the last REAL musical genius there is. hes undoubtedly one of the gods. we wont know it until hes gone though. then well all say "fuck why didnt we save him". just like cobain and staylee and lennon etc...

[dooshette]

wow, he was really shakin his man-titties near the end.

kind of aroused me a bit.

[randy0987]

mmmmmm, i know what ya mean ;)

[welwise]

fantastic

[45init]

I cried during this scene. Still don't know why. I hate being emotionally manipulated by movies and music.

[jenevertranen]

i never never heard about daniel johnston until today. how can you not believe this is one of the greatest artists that ever lived?

[SitYourAssDown]

Best part of the movie, this video is amazing, not to mention he is so into it, cant express enough, beautiful

[randy0987]

Is he really into it, or just putting on a good show?

His Dad said "Were all just pawns in the theater of Daniels mind."

[derden2007]

amazing

[wxyzeta]

got trapped by the music and strangeness in the video, never heard of him =O i liked it

[jasonstroth]

whats the name of this song??????????/

[opiate115]

Read the description ma'man.

[jasonstroth]

what is the name of this song when hes dancing???

[kingcade]

What song(s) follow this in the credits of the documentary? I really liked one song following this scene and would like to know the name.

[neilmooter]

It's called 'some things last a long time'.

[evercleareverclear]

what was he actually listening to at the time of this recording?

[COFLASNAK]

waaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuu es un maestro

[suicidepages]

He was such a beautiful and talented young man. with an angelic voice.

This guy really fell hard, now he can hardly mumble through his songs, his voice is totally unintelligible. He has no teeth, immensely overweight and cant keep from shaking.

My god what a tragedy.

[tigerkrig]

What the fuck are you talking about? He's still recording songs and still performs his songs.

You're a lier!

[mymoderatesuspect]

not a tragedy. His shakiness developed throughout his life. my best friend has the same disorder, and he it's becoming more and more present of his inability to control his shaky hands unless he is drawing. Daniel is doing what he loves, he still loves it. He enjoys his life and experiances difficulties like we do, but in different ways.

[shikaka72]

Thats bullshit. He's still great. i saw him only a couple of years back.

[stevebob84]

I think this was a really cool way to end the movie. I don't know about everyone else, but his dance makes me happy and is inspiring.

It gives me some kind of feeling that everything is going to be good in the end

[ScoooobzTuuuube]

most definatly... i think the song helps too. its the devil and daniel johnston in 1:36

[chrish12345]

it could be like that but the way they do it points up the negative aspects in my opinion

[chrish12345]

yeah plus the fact he plays different music to wot hes dancin to makes it look even more odd

[MrsHinde]

es realmente impresionante!!!!. Cualquiera puede pensar que es un freek, un colgao. Pero conocí su musica, sin saber de su vida, hace unos tres años, y me 'atrapó'. me he identificado mucho con sus letras, y me ha acompañado durante horas. Saber de su vida me ha hecho entender el por qué.

[Zefilor]

supongo que tambien vio la pelicula en hbo hace unos dias, a mi me encanto

[slipknot19cris]

muy bueno!

la kgo!

su musik, su historia su personalidad!

sus letras !

todo grande!

[PANZYUTUBEIS]

ive seen this movie and tried to find HELD THE HAND it is IMPOSSIBLE to find also i remembered this song playing at the end credits so what are you talkin about

[poolisclosedaids]

it's easy to find, try Soulseek

[jlp58mjp]

its on i tunes.... but this comment is a year old.

[ceciliavilecorruptdj]

he looks like a lot of my neighbors here in the tenderloin please believe me im not making fun of anyone the last i heard of him (by)(before youtube) was speeding notorcycle

[jolivia]

Daniel Johnston to star in "Saturday Night Fever Pt.2"

[fernandobocadillos]

what's he listening to actually as he dances??? i wanna the dvd, but here in argentina I'l never get it.... :(. HELP.

[ohnookgo]

I forget the song but it was by the Beatles

[41music]

I just re-watched the DVD, and all the special features... and I don't know what song he was actually dancing too... though I did not watch the movie with the Director commentary on, maybe that's where it's at. Too bad it wasn't Devil Town... the dance fits very well to Devil Town!

[fernandobocadillos]

cpould anybody tell me whats he listening to in this final scene? i am from buenos aires, argentina, and since i'l never see the dvd cause i cannot get it down here (wink wink) I'l fkng never know!

I love you so much daniel, thank you for being YOU

Fer.

[gmonk28]

what a remarkable man

only been listenin to him for about a fortnight but i feel like i was missing something before i had done

[ninguemvj]

This movie is amazing. Daniel is amazing. I´m glad there´s still peope like this...living life.

[ninguemvj]

I meant PEOPLE. Sorry.

[RudolfSchmidt]

the reason why I like daniel so much, is that when Im loving him, Im trying to love him so much that it brings some sort of balance to everyone that didnt see how great he was.

[MadisonLee555]

everything dan does i just find myself mesmerized

[MadisonLee555]

I own this movie, love this last scene

[discogutsting]

whats the name of the song he's dancing to? ive been looking for it for ages and ages over

[Sessel69]

Its called Held the Hand

[QuimbyMouse]

He's not having a "breakdown", the last 6 seconds are in fast motion. He's just goofing around.

[sfkforever]

genius

[ladi314159265]

he ryan Dan is the man!!!!!

[filmfan78]

Yeah!!!LONG LIVE DANIEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[taryninfinity]

what happened to home recordings?!!! theyve lost so much of their charm w some of these new artists. some of daniels stuff had the worst quality but the songs were still amazing. i heard a guy recently on myspace who records all his stuff at home and doesnt like anyone else to be involved at all i guess. very danielish. i liked it a lot, good sound. i think u can find his stuff at myspace backslash benklamm if anyones curious. long live daniel!!

[AUSROTTENY2K]

@taryninfinity who was that musician you were talking of?

[jealousagain38]

Yeah, near the end there, it actually looks like he was having a breakdown. Though he was probably dancing.

[nusakara]

last 6 sec are so intense musicwise and Danielwise-

[snoopreg]

I don't think he's dancing... I think he was having another manic episode.

[Treguard]

Anyone notice how the chord sequence is almost the same as 'A Day in the Life' by the Beatles? Might just be coincidence but I know Daniel's a massive Beatles fan.

[IARE1031]

It probably is less of a coincidence than you think. I mean, he said before that he used the Beatles song book like a bible. And he also said that he used some chord progressions from their stuff and modified it for his songs. Although, I don't know about each and every one.

[jealousagain38]

The melodies are very dissimilar though :/

[jamstrat]

I noticed that aswell.

[nusakara]

weird footage.i like,i missed out on The Devil and..

gonna check it soon

[djm6402]

GO DANNY GO

HAHA NICE DANCE

[slubberdagollian]

Wow, I need to see this movie.

[UncarvedBlock]

This was the most beautiful part of the movie in my opinion.

[cheese102]

ROCK ON DUDES!

[chrish12345]

the whole film was great

[screwdriverland]

most amazing thing i have ever seen

[paunchi]

Damn, he's the fucking man.  Like his really old music better, but what a cool little studio he's got set up there.

[silenttodd]

much respect to daniel.. artistic beyond some peoples understanding.

[imahottentot]

WOW I really wanted to beat his ass when I saw his documentary but after seeing this I want to kick his whole familie's ass. Asshole no talent shit on the fur. This circus geek, acid damaged, pinhead really touches cloth. People that like this are lemmings.

[Alfrunk]

If you have a soul, you would feel sought out by his music. You obviously feel like he is unjustly taking attention away from your music heroes... So who do you like? What are you basing your opinion on? Talent = Commercial success, huh?

Well, Ashlee Simpson and the Hip Hop crowd would agree...

[russs84]

quite clearly you know nothing about Daniel Johnston at all, you have no idea what a beautifully written song is, or the genius behind its insanity. Its fine though, Im sure your quite content with listening to britney spears and madonna. Please fuck off. Kindest regards.

[jamstrat]

hahahaha lemmings hahaha and let me guess you probably listen to fall out boy and the killers talk about being a lemming

[rayofminneapolis]

Man, I don't wanna watch the last sceene man> go on forever = post the whole movie with a directors account

[WolfEyesRuins]

buy the fucking film

[Alfrunk]

What song was he listening to?

[pathoplastic]

"held the hand" off the "1990" album (great, btw)

[qolorblind]

I think Alfrunk meant what song was he listening to when he was dancing.

[pathoplastic]

ah yes(sorry)...they want me to get the dvd...

[qolorblind]

My brother has it.

I'll ask him.

[Treguard]

He was listening to a Bealtes bootleg.

[h2007]

if you love him so much why dont you go give him a hand job for christs sakes and stop treating him like a patient.

Take one for the team BE A DJ GROUPIE!

[Alfrunk]

Shut up you disgusting pop culture classless piece of garbage.

[ipoonu]

ok. maybe i will

[deSadesKitten]

Oh christ... I love him!

[DjDirtyBoob]

I love Daniel Johnston...AUSTIN LOVES YOU DANIEL!!

[bobrage]

nevermind, it's "held the hand"

[bobrage]

what song is that..?

[RoastMcGhost]

this is the best DVD ever made

[gwarfanj]

I agree!

[Safranski]

thanks for posting!

[julucha]

impagable!
