this is one of the best things i've ever heard in my entire life. it's exceptional. he's the real mr. wordplay. ;] i keep coming back to this again and again, just so i can listen to it and memorize it.

I myself have lingered on the fringes of The Distance, pondering my own existence. This was an exceptional piece.. he has a way with words indeed.

i absolutely love this poem. but if possible can someone explain to me what the distance is?

I love Danny's spoken words there like a love unknown or waking up from a night of a one night stand feeling used and yet loved at the same time

"Listen, I've got a great story. It's about a spirit tryin to find his way back to his bones. And I'm willing to trade it in just so long as you can give me directions on how to get back home."
