Every line in this blows a hole in me. One of my all time favs. A great version too!

Look at 53 seconds, he starts to get a smile. Maybe it reminds him of when he wrote this. No matter what, it's nice to see him smile.

@InNominus – it isn't about being good. it's about being honest in your art.

[Tim0freeman]

Dear Daniel, You were, are and will be one of the most fragil soul in this world.

You wrote so many beautifull songs that turned this world into a more pleasant place to be.

I would like to ask you something, last year a long friend of us died "Mark Linkous" he was like you in a different way, could you please write a song about that poor little thing that have left us to soon.

There's a heaven and there's a star for you.

@InNominus

Some see music as craft, as a finished product. A creative way to make sound interesting.

Some see music as way to express oneself. Not a sport practice.

It isn't black or white, and others fall in different areas of the spectrum. For example, Daniel Johnston, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Ian Curtis, are all probably far on the 'expressing side', while jam bands like Phish or Grateful Dead are more on the 'performing' side.

I want to hug him for each moment his music was there, helping me.

[codywyattbaldwin]

this is actually really sad to watch..but at the same time it's still happy since he is still living life

@InNominus,i dont see this a slap in the face to more acomplished musicians,what this shows is that you dont need to be a musical wizard to write amazing songs! And i would rather have the songs of daniel,rather than a bunch of musos who can play it all,but cant put a half decent tune together if it killed them.Performance wise how is it bad?
