Daniel Johnston "Life in Vain"

[NelsonArthiby]

This sounds EXACTLY like Neil Young. (In a good way).

[newmusicbliss11]

[sirslice]

One of his best!!! I had this on my PVR.... until it packed it in. Thanks for posting.

[cuntmonkey007]

[sagonaw]

Frightning! Great choice of song from a great writer of songs... Tragic in how everything about the show was everything the song detested!?!> Not to turn on the poster, but whomever decided that this would be a good idea.... I don't know how the arengments were made.... Again... Frightning... Daniel:) Love him... One of my favorits.

[curtisrunstedler]

This song is truly beautiful. When you look into his eyes, you can see how much of a struggle it is for him but he perseveres, and the end results are magnificent.

[PizzaCave]

[jahtao]

[puck3]

God. That just made a grown man cry.

[Zydanaa]

I just learn that he compose the lyrics of this song. And the violinist is superb. I like how is child pitch voice goes with this songs perfectly, specially when he said goodbye.. it seems part of the song lyrics itself.

[LaVieLeHow]

@Zydanaa it is indeed part of the song lyrics

[hemofan78]

uffffff simplemente maravilloso, una joyita como todo lo que hace este señor.

[hobbyaire]

I play this at least once a week - hits me like back in my teens when my favorite hit song was playing on the radio.

[shit311]

[MrWhomper7]

this song moves me seems to be a theme for America in 2010

[andrewgoldringmusic]

[RoxyMonoxide999]

He looked terrified.

[Badpacifist2]

yeah the meds for the bi-polar have an effect but he has looked terrified for 30 plus years lols

[kraigus]

@Badpacifist2 he looked terrified day one first song first gig, and last song at his final gig he will. I suppose its something you'l never get used to.

[belovedmakesmusic]

[MrMaryJaneBaby]

Best version so far.......
