on ne sera pas tous millionnaires mais chacun espère au fond de lui qu’il le sera et fais tout pour essayer de le devenir et nous baissions les bras et perdons espoir que quand on est près de la mort. pourquoi ne pas aborder l’amour aussi de cette façon
I have never cried at a piece of media until i heard this song. I've seen so many movies and felt bad for characters, but never actually broke a tear. But learning about how awful johnston's early life was and then hearing this is totally different. It's so clumsy and awkward, but its such genuine optimism from someone who was dealt such an awful hand in life. I can hear him wanting to convey this message by any means he can, even if he's not equipped with all the conventional knowledge of writing music. He just wants to share his hope that bad. And the fact its so flawed makes it feel so much more human. Its so beautiful and heart breaking at the same time. May Daniel rest well, cause i consider him a legend.
I feel you, you've expressed all of that really well, putting into words exactly how I feel about him too...the most broken bruised hearts often are the most beautiful
There’s something very endearing about the lack of perfectionism he has in his music, he just plays his songs because he absolutely loves doing it. He doesn’t care if it sounds kinda sloppy, or if his instruments aren’t tuned right. It’s like he becomes completely apart of whatever he’s playing, and all of his imperfections let his soul and emotions shine straight through the music, like sunlight shining through a dirty, broken window, but the window’s physical state represents decades of experience and circumstance, making it a beautiful symbol as well. Rest In Peace, Daniel, you were a very special person.
This kind of music(Sincere and Honest) is ALL gone i think. Honesty doesn't make Money-Directed culture. And we really need a culture of Sincerity and Honesty right now,, More than EVER. That's why "they" will NEVER produce such stuff. Cheers from Sweden
He absolutely nailed the lyrics on this one. Such a simple song but he worded a message so perfect that anyone struggling to find love can listen to this song and find hope. Cause this is exactly how it’s done.
today I heard my son playing this on his computer, I asked who it was, he explained about Daniel, and how he suffered...gone too soon, I cried for him, as he spoke for all who have suffered...REST In Peace dear one.
I was watching a interview with Daniel, and I literally thought that him and Sosa are such similar artists sonically. Awesome to see someone who understood this. This literally all happened in about 10 minutes. Someone make sosa sample some Dan
it will and i think that's what makes us cry, that despite everything that hurts you can suddenly realize you don't have to suffer and that it will get better and you feel releived and silly for all that useless pain and grateful for daniel for reminding you of such simple things!
I know I'm not exactly qualified to say so, but I think you're wrong. I believe that love is inescapable really, it's part of being human. It doesn't have to be romantic or platonic or even familial. It is universal.
The first time I played a song in front of others was during my sophomore year of high school in a German class talent show. I sang this song with a shitty ukulele. It was a fairly awkward stage of my life and I was really nervous going into it. To my surprise everyone seemed to like it and I left feeling I had done the song justice. From then on I've been much more comfortable playing for others, even though it's rare for me to do so. Rest in peace Daniel, and thank you for what you have given
True love will find you in the end You'll find out just who's your friend Don't be sad I know you will But don't give up until True love will find you in the end This is a promise with a catch Only if you're looking can it find you Because true love is searching too But how can it recognise you unless you step out into the light the light Don't be sad I know you will But don't give up until True love will find you in the end♥️
Best show I've seen in NYC, maybe 2007. At a point in the show, Daniel Johnston sat down on the stage and got quiet. He stopped stopped singing. We all had heard about this kind of thing in his performances when he stopped, the show was cut short, and it was over. Everyone looked around at each other, wondering what they were supposed to do now. A few people sat down, and then little by little, we all did. We were on the same level as him. Waiting. After 5-10 mins or so, he started singing again. It was the most connected experience I've had at a concert. I will remember it forever. It's hard to put into words but it was so humble and sweet.
I wrote a portion of my university dissertation about Daniel and his influence on the Austin indie music scene when he first moved there and started performing. There was a beautiful section in a book I read, "Hi, How Are You?", which talks about how at the time, a lot of indie music was very ironic, very sardonic, and very subtextual. But when Daniel first stepped up in an Austin club and played his honest, sincere songs, the crowd was absolutely captivated. He was the first one to sing honestly and genuinely, with no facade of coolness or fake intellectualism. He was just a pure, beautiful soul, singing his heart out. RIP Daniel, and thank you.
PURE the very word I was thinking... and REAL. I listen to this tune every so often to set myself straight. It's true- you know- true love will find you in the end! ♡
True love will find you in the end You'll find out just who was your friend Don't be sad, I know you will, But dont give up until True love will find you in the end This is a promise with a catch Only if you're looking can it find you 'Cause true love is searching too But how can it recognize you Unless you step out into the light? Don't be sad i know you will But don't give up until True love will find you in the end.
I always thought this song was about romantic love. But now that I came to hear it right after Daniel's death, I think maybe he refers to the true love we all find when we finish our journey on this planet. The light...
For god so loved the world, he let 10000 children starve to death today.. fuck Christ's love. Christianity was taken from an older religion and has changed so much over the years... Delusional....
I heard this song after a long time of depression and general health issues. Before hearing this I felt empty, unable to express my feelings even to my loved ones. One afternoon I put this song on and I broke down in tears. It was so melancholic, yet beautiful and it felt that all my human emotions that werent present during my depression entered my soul again. Thank you Daniel for bringing me back from a dark place for a momemt❤
"This is a promise with a catch // only if you're looking can it find you // cause true love is looking too // but how can it recognize you // unless you step out into the light the light" Holy cow.
This is my favorite song in the world. I didn't live a good live, obviously nothing compared to his live, most of my suffering is due to my own bad decisions. But this 2 minute long song makes me wanna live until true love does find me, i don't know if ever will and, if it does, i don't know if will be enough, but for 2 minutes none of us was alone. We all felt the honesty in those words. I remember the day i found this song, i had never cried because of music before, but, once i saw the title and his face, i just started crying and i knew that it would be with me throughout all the bad times. This is my very first youtube comment, nothing ever felt worth sharing and inglish is not even my first language, so i apolage for all the grammatical mistakes. If you read this until the end i hope true love does find you.
True love WILL find you in the end. Married and went through a nasty divorce. Thought I was finished with love and even spent 17 years single not wanting to experience that pain again. Then I found TRUE LOVE in the form of the sweetest woman I've ever met...from the other side of the world in Korea. Wasn't looking, and neither was she, but LOVE found us. As Daniel say's..."don't give up".
Congac Bodean Yeah but Daniel Johnston never married, never had a real girlfriend, likely never even had sex before, and lives with his parents at 54 because he can't really live on his own due to his crippling mental illnes (he's diagnosed as both bipolar and schizophrenic). It makes the song that much more sad to me, wondering if Daniel still holds out a hope of finding true love, even with his situation, at his age.
+Relatively Santos : Hee hee...nice play on words. But, yes I did. It's been four years now and I can say without a shadow of a doubt I have never been happier. On another topic...maybe you can help me with this. Why am I getting a lot of random action on my comment. None of it seems related to my posting...except yours. Sounds foolish, but I am at a loss since youtube changed the reply system. Thanks in advance for your feedback. Tom.
"How can it recognize you...unless you step out into the light, the light?" (I love the way he says "the light" twice) This song makes me hopeful since he was... Thank you Daniel Johnston • R.I.P. 🖤
This sounds like it was played in his living room in front of a some close friends after dinner and drinks, just because. Simple. Unpolished. Brief. Immediate. Relatable. Heartfelt. Beautiful. And because of that, it's now one of my favourite pieces of music of all time.
It's fundamentally tragic that so many artists try to record this song as though they could improve upon it. The truth is, it cannot be improved. It is perfect as is, imperfections and all. It will never be surpassed by any cover act, at any time. Let it be what it is.
People do covers because they can relate to a song. They feel they can “make it their own”. Like Johnny cash covering Hurt. He’s not trying to steal Trent Rez it’s thunder, more often. It’s a compliment
You have a strange axe to grind with covers. They just want to promote songs and ideas that resonate with and spread awareness of those songs. The only one making this a pissing contest is you.
I agree with both. Cover songs are a loving tribute and artists can cover whatever they want. At the same time, I don't like any of the covers of this song
I dedicate this song to all the single homies out there who don't have anyone for Valentine's Day... that day will come when you find that special someone until then remember to love yourself ❤️ 2022
i visited daniel johnston at his home. there were paper airplanes in the basement. each one had a name. an accordion hung from the rafters. secret poems were scrawled upon mcdonalds merchandise. his chilled eyes were scanning glaciers. a pre-recorded message welcomed me... RIP to a beautiful soul.
the girl that regret leaving came back into my life recently, idk how to explain it. we usually play games together because that’s literally the only enjoyable thing to do besides talking. she had to leave because she had to eat dinner and this song turned on as soon as she left. i had already became interested in her again and this just put the cherry on the cake for me. thank you daniel johnston, im pissed i didnt find your art before your passing. may your soul rest.
“daniel is definitely going to heaven he’s already been through hell” - daniels sisters friend who works in a mental hospital when seeing his art. :(( r.i.p. daniel
I don't know this man or his music but I'm sitting here crying my eyes out. trying to stifle sobs to keep my kids from hearing. I'm sad to know he has passed away. I wish him the best in the afterlife.
I used to listen this song when i broked up a seven years relationship and was totally lost. In a way that comforted me. It was as if Daniel were saying "be patient." A few years later true love found me. Don't give up! :)
I recently ended an eight year relationship, not an easy choice, not sure if it was the right choice, this song is breaking me in half but it feels good.
I remember when I was much younger, there was a documentary playing on the tv about Daniel Johnston. As I watched, I thought to myself, "his music sounds really boring, how can anyone like it?" but continued watching. At the end of the documentary after I watched his story and his struggles, they played his song "Some Things Last A Long Time" and it just struck me in a weird emotional way. Many years later, that song suddenly just slipped into my head and made me go back and look through Daniel Johnston's work (and love it). Strange. Some things really do last a long time.
life is weird, it's nice that music has this ability of distracting us and/or bringing us to a more beautiful place and that people are able to share this feeling
this song is i think one of the greatest folk songs of all time, the amount of emotions this man can make you feel with just a fragile voice and a guitar is honestly astouding, i actually cried a lot listening to this it's a song that needs to remain in everyone memory and shouldn't be forgotten RIP Daniel Johnston
I've been in a 4 year relationship that I thought was true love, but I must have been at my worst, and she couldn't accept me. It truly broke me on the inside, and I quickly decided to move across the United States to get as far away from it as I could. I even eventually joined the navy. So my true love, if you're out there, I'm sorry it's taking me too long, I'm still working on myself.
I dont think a single song has ever made me actually cry. I never cry, I've watched movies and listened to many sad and beautiful songs, watched beautiful videos on CZcams that also jerked a tear from me. But this made me cry instantly, its so genuine and beautiful. True love, that search that we search so frantically for in life. That which if most people stopped to look around would realize they have through friends and family. Some of the comments talk about this song from the perspective that Daniel was singing about romantic love and only that. Even if it was, it only makes the song more tragic in such a genuine way: he couldn't see the love of his own parents who he seemed to disdain in earlier years. Such a simple, beautiful song holy shit Edited because I realized I forgot to include words which would make this paragraph make sense
DesolationAngel oddly I have never heard of him before two days ago. I listened to most of his interview stuff. For who is was growing up in Austin Texas. He is extremely lucky. and blessed with community and talent. His death will be celibrated for a while. god bless his fans. I know they love him deeply. later JJ 🐸
jawtek82 you don't get it and never will. Maybe this guy lost someone important or a true love. So my advice to you is. Keep listening to your crap music And leave.
Your advice is about as good as this song. How many have not lost someone important? But we don't all cry at childish, un-musical, drivel like this song - and certainly not "most times [we] hear" it.
jawtek82 Un musical drivel is your main choice of music! if you cannot appreciate the chord progression and timing, and tuning of this song. And everybody deals with it. You just chose to type up a dumb comment. Just go back to your top 100 billboard songs and keep thinking your a good person.
I think it’s because in many ways he was a child. His mental illness never really allowed him to grow into his own adult. He never had a relationship beyond platonic friendship
indierokkers Your comment reminds me of a man trying to troll. With a name like indierokkers I would think you would be able to appreciate Daniel. Guess you just don't get it. Go listen to some more mainstream drivel and leave us here on the obscure side of youtube where we came to get away from people like you.
daniel is probably one of the most honest people, his music is unadulterated, raw and self-expressionistic. despite his rough life and problems he manages to make songs like this and its amazing. Just pure optimism and hope from someone with such a sad story
This is the first time I've ever heard Daniel Johnston and I couldn't help but shed some tears listening to this. I know a little bit about his background and his struggles with mental illness and such, and I found out he passed away through these comments, which made me kinda sad. But I wanted to share my thoughts on this song. Listening to this reminded me of a heavy shroom trip I took where I experienced ego death, I had died in my trip and it was one of the scariest, yet beautiful experiences I have ever felt. I was very scared because the dying felt so real to me, but the beauty I experienced after I died was soooo overwhelmingly beautiful, I felt such good feelings and could see beautiful colors and visuals, it felt better than any love or beautiful emotion I could ever feel, and I can't help but feel like this song speaks to me in that sense. Maybe it's not love through other people that we find in the end, but rather true love we experience from something more, from the entities/energies in the universe that we cant see but can feel. Maybe when we die we get enveloped in a type of love that we dont understand as we are living, but when we die it all makes sense. I cant help but feel like it's the ultimate peace, and this song speaks to me and makes me feel like Daniel Johnston understood this, and maybe that's what he was speaking on, "true love will find you in the end" It may not be true and my comment may just be more ramblings of a madman, but I find this soooo beautiful, and I really do hope we all find true love in the end. Peace and love be with you all if you made it this far.
Hey DJ fans. Dan had an accident that hurt his foot at his home. It was nasty looking and healing is complicated due to diabetes. He was admitted again to a hospital for IV, antibiotic treatment and has been released after about 5 days. If you like him send a little prayer.
I m sure I will never find true love,i stopped searching.i have never met you Daniel Johnston but I miss you so much.i have severe OCD it's hell on earth
I love my autistic mate with learning disabilities. I love her company, she is the best and I am always there for her. She has faced all of the loneliness and bullying and abuse of all kinds. She never had a friend. Now she’s got me. I’m an activist psychotherapist and I’ve got her back from now on whenever she wants my help. I don’t give up and I don’t walk away. But when I’m on my own I’m heartbroken and I listen to this and I cry.
Daniel johnson was a person who had such a hard life the battles he had to go through everyday in terms of his mental health must of been so painful and tormenting so the way he still managed to find an escape for it with his music even if it was for a short while and its just him recording it on a cassete player at home it was his way off showing who he was as a person in terms of the songs the titles of the songs, the artwork it was just so raw and real and im glad the world got to hear it in some capacity
im a big music collector but had not heard of Daniel until I read about his passing 20 minutes ago, so I searched him on CZcams, this is the first song of his I listened to, its recorded very amateurishly, the balance is all out of whack, it has an almost childlike innocence about its simplicity but it brought tears to my eyes, absolutely brilliant!
Once in a while, a pure and divine message is broadcast into this universe from that somewhere else, which pierces through your soul and touches that buried and undisturbed part of you; the part that is the connecting link to everything else. This is one of those messages. In no tangible way is this song special. But there is an ineffable quality there that makes it unbearably powerful. Few ever find a route into themselves that goes deep enough to pull something like this out, and fewer still have the courage and ability to convey it. Thank you, Daniel. Rest easy...
Words cannot describe how sad I am right now... Daniel's songs, and this one in particular, helped me through a dark period in my life that I don't even know how I managed to come out alive of. RIP Legend!
I only wish this song was longer. I can't explain why but i love this so much. It's sweet and sad and hopeful (something about that line "don't be sad, I know you will" that just cuts me right to the core). I'm so glad I found this song and at the same time I really want to cry I think.
rest in piece, daniel johnston.
your songs helped me a lot when I was going through high school... may your beautiful music live on forever.
legends never die, mate
Worst. 9/11. Ever.

Yes. The point isn't to play perfectly like a metronomic computer.
You put it so beautifully and perfectly. All the reasons Daniel Johnston is so inspirational.
you mean "becomes a part of whatever he's doing". If you say "apart", it means outside of it

The reason why this song is so heartbreakingly sad is because deep down everyone knows true love sometimes never finds you.
I feel, the reason the song is sad is because people even need to be reminded that there will always be people who love you
it will and i think that's what makes us cry, that despite everything that hurts you can suddenly realize you don't have to suffer and that it will get better and you feel releived and silly for all that useless pain and grateful for daniel for reminding you of such simple things!
And sometimes it finds a really damaged person who doesn’t know how to accept it.
This song changed my life when it came to love.
I know I'm not exactly qualified to say so, but I think you're wrong. I believe that love is inescapable really, it's part of being human. It doesn't have to be romantic or platonic or even familial. It is universal.

ilo oli don't be sad, i know you will, don't give up until, true love will find you in the end.
+ilo oli Listen to "Crazy Love" . I cry everytime I listen to It .
daniel johnston
I feel you
"This is a promise with a catch // only if you're looking can it find you // cause true love is looking too // but how can it recognize you // unless you step out into the light the light"
Holy cow.
don't mind me im just walking the cow over here ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This actually makes me cry, it’s such a beautiful song
Its so unbelievably beautiful and full of compassion everything we need in life wrapped up in 2 minutes
"Don't be sad, I know you will." Really hits for some reason.
I always think that this song is about self love
The hardest kind of love.
Never has a songwriter done so much with so little as he does in this song.
CZcams decided to put a video of Daniel Johnston's life in my recommended and I'm really glad for it
Emerson Escobar Orbe because he died
Me too
Y fue en español estoy seguro xd

This is my favorite song in the world. I didn't live a good live, obviously nothing compared to his live, most of my suffering is due to my own bad decisions. But this 2 minute long song makes me wanna live until true love does find me, i don't know if ever will and, if it does, i don't know if will be enough, but for 2 minutes none of us was alone. We all felt the honesty in those words. I remember the day i found this song, i had never cried because of music before, but, once i saw the title and his face, i just started crying and i knew that it would be with me throughout all the bad times. This is my very first youtube comment, nothing ever felt worth sharing and inglish is not even my first language, so i apolage for all the grammatical mistakes. If you read this until the end i hope true love does find you.
This song always gives me hope, no matter what.
+Sòphìe Me too.
+Sòphìe good to hear youre feeling better ://
Hi Sophie!
hah, I bet you get a lot of replys
Yo why have i seen you literally everywhere lmao
True love WILL find you in the end. Married and went through a nasty divorce. Thought I was finished with love and even spent 17 years single not wanting to experience that pain again. Then I found TRUE LOVE in the form of the sweetest woman I've ever met...from the other side of the world in Korea. Wasn't looking, and neither was she, but LOVE found us. As Daniel say's..."don't give up".
Congac Bodean Yeah but Daniel Johnston never married, never had a real girlfriend, likely never even had sex before, and lives with his parents at 54 because he can't really live on his own due to his crippling mental illnes (he's diagnosed as both bipolar and schizophrenic). It makes the song that much more sad to me, wondering if Daniel still holds out a hope of finding true love, even with his situation, at his age.
Ethan Beller Are you saying DJ isn't the biggest thing in the world still? What's up with that?
She's Korean? so you found your Seoul mate.
+Relatively Santos : Hee hee...nice play on words. But, yes I did. It's been four years now and I can say without a shadow of a doubt I have never been happier. On another topic...maybe you can help me with this. Why am I getting a lot of random action on my comment. None of it seems related to my posting...except yours. Sounds foolish, but I am at a loss since youtube changed the reply system. Thanks in advance for your feedback. Tom.
grats, just grats :)
This song is so raw it legit made me cry the first time I heard it
first time right now, balling hard, reading the comments. life comes full circle and i know he said dont be sad, couldnt help it lol
Daniel was beautiful in an unfathomably ugly world.
I dated a guy and he was everything i ever wanted
Jaynell Yazzie can I ask what happened? I’m so sorry
Im so sorry darling, i know now how it feel. I hope u the best of the lifes. True love will find you in the end.
I'm genuinely sorry
i wish this story was true
similar thing happened to us but he was a family. I still feel denial to this day.
"How can it recognize you...unless you step out into the light, the light?"
(I love the way he says "the light" twice)
This song makes me hopeful since he was...
Thank you Daniel Johnston • R.I.P. 🖤
This sounds like it was played in his living room in front of a some close friends after dinner and drinks, just because. Simple. Unpolished. Brief. Immediate. Relatable. Heartfelt. Beautiful. And because of that, it's now one of my favourite pieces of music of all time.
who else is here after Spotify took half of his songs down?
Why did they do that
Yeah what the fuck i need this song :(
For real wtf 😭
@@heidiabell4667 well, you dont need spotify...so win win.
@@markrennie86 i do need it though lol
It's fundamentally tragic that so many artists try to record this song as though they could improve upon it. The truth is, it cannot be improved. It is perfect as is, imperfections and all. It will never be surpassed by any cover act, at any time.
Let it be what it is.
People do covers because they can relate to a song. They feel they can “make it their own”. Like Johnny cash covering Hurt. He’s not trying to steal Trent Rez it’s thunder, more often. It’s a compliment
You have a strange axe to grind with covers. They just want to promote songs and ideas that resonate with and spread awareness of those songs. The only one making this a pissing contest is you.
good point, super pussy finger
I agree with both. Cover songs are a loving tribute and artists can cover whatever they want. At the same time, I don't like any of the covers of this song
When I see a cover I usually go look at the original at least once
I dedicate this song to all the single homies out there who don't have anyone for Valentine's Day... that day will come when you find that special someone until then remember to love yourself ❤️ 2022
Some of us don't want relationships and also love ourselves.
i visited daniel johnston at his home. there were paper airplanes in the basement. each one had a name. an accordion hung from the rafters. secret poems were scrawled upon mcdonalds merchandise. his chilled eyes were scanning glaciers. a pre-recorded message welcomed me...
RIP to a beautiful soul.
That's really nice.
the girl that regret leaving came back into my life recently, idk how to explain it. we usually play games together because that’s literally the only enjoyable thing to do besides talking. she had to leave because she had to eat dinner and this song turned on as soon as she left. i had already became interested in her again and this just put the cherry on the cake for me. thank you daniel johnston, im pissed i didnt find your art before your passing. may your soul rest.
“daniel is definitely going to heaven he’s already been through hell” - daniels sisters friend who works in a mental hospital when seeing his art. :(( r.i.p. daniel
i dont wanna die alone anymore
There must be a lot of lonely people out there. Don't give up or jump off a bridge your true love is waiting.
Hope so
+Gareth Brown that escalated quickly.
+hottaful
don't you mean descended?
This song makes me incredibly sad, yet it has saved me before.
This hit me hard
I don't know this man or his music but I'm sitting here crying my eyes out. trying to stifle sobs to keep my kids from hearing. I'm sad to know he has passed away. I wish him the best in the afterlife.
So happy I got to meet him a few years before he died in London. I've got an original picture as well, he drew me a picture. An extraordinary man
I used to listen this song when i broked up a seven years relationship and was totally lost. In a way that comforted me. It was as if Daniel were saying "be patient." A few years later true love found me. Don't give up! :)
💕 Love is like a carousel 🎠
I recently ended an eight year relationship, not an easy choice, not sure if it was the right choice, this song is breaking me in half but it feels good.
I remember when I was much younger, there was a documentary playing on the tv about Daniel Johnston. As I watched, I thought to myself, "his music sounds really boring, how can anyone like it?" but continued watching. At the end of the documentary after I watched his story and his struggles, they played his song "Some Things Last A Long Time" and it just struck me in a weird emotional way. Many years later, that song suddenly just slipped into my head and made me go back and look through Daniel Johnston's work (and love it). Strange. Some things really do last a long time.
2008?
That was "The Devil and Daniel Johnston." Great film.
life is weird, it's nice that music has this ability of distracting us and/or bringing us to a more beautiful place and that people are able to share this feeling
+Providence Beacon Great, Just great!
+Providence Beacon I agree
Its also pretentious, like you.
The Music of the Spheres, as Pythagoras once said.
@@zm9428 haters will hate. You suck.
this song is i think one of the greatest folk songs of all time, the amount of emotions this man can make you feel with just a fragile voice and a guitar is honestly astouding, i actually cried a lot listening to this
it's a song that needs to remain in everyone memory and shouldn't be forgotten
RIP Daniel Johnston
I've been in a 4 year relationship that I thought was true love, but I must have been at my worst, and she couldn't accept me. It truly broke me on the inside, and I quickly decided to move across the United States to get as far away from it as I could. I even eventually joined the navy. So my true love, if you're out there, I'm sorry it's taking me too long, I'm still working on myself.
This reminds me of when I would stay up until 3am and listen to this song.
I'm doing exactly that right now
it's 2:52 guess where I am? :)
you are a penis head
+Joey Tapia You listen to Giles Corey.You have to be a little bit ,,weird" :D
+Joey Tapia 3.40am, just listened to Message to Bears' Departures and just had to come back before hitting off to dreamland
I want this playing at my funeral. I love this so much.
I dont think a single song has ever made me actually cry. I never cry, I've watched movies and listened to many sad and beautiful songs, watched beautiful videos on CZcams that also jerked a tear from me. But this made me cry instantly, its so genuine and beautiful. True love, that search that we search so frantically for in life. That which if most people stopped to look around would realize they have through friends and family. Some of the comments talk about this song from the perspective that Daniel was singing about romantic love and only that. Even if it was, it only makes the song more tragic in such a genuine way: he couldn't see the love of his own parents who he seemed to disdain in earlier years. Such a simple, beautiful song holy shit
Edited because I realized I forgot to include words which would make this paragraph make sense
Just read the sad news and instantly came to this song as it's my favourite. Rest in peace, Daniel. 😥
DesolationAngel oddly I have never heard of him before two days ago. I listened to most of his interview stuff. For who is was growing up in Austin Texas. He is extremely lucky. and blessed with community and talent. His death will be celibrated for a while. god bless his fans. I know they love him deeply. later JJ 🐸
Try and watch 'The Devil and Daniel Johnston' if you can. It's a very good movie on his life.
C'est bien la première fois que je remercie la Sncf...
I cry most times I hear this
Seek professional help. Lots of it.
jawtek82 you don't get it and never will. Maybe this guy lost someone important or a true love. So my advice to you is. Keep listening to your crap music And leave.
Your advice is about as good as this song. How many have not lost someone important? But we don't all cry at childish, un-musical, drivel like this song - and certainly not "most times [we] hear" it.
jawtek82 Un musical drivel is your main choice of music! if you cannot appreciate the chord progression and timing, and tuning of this song. And everybody deals with it. You just chose to type up a dumb comment. Just go back to your top 100 billboard songs and keep thinking your a good person.
Think of a good comeback now, don't disappoint yourself.
“True love is like when you have some good times and when you remember them they’re even better” -Daniel Johnston
When you find an artist and then discover they just died, that's always a true bummer. What an authentic song. It brought tears to my eyes.
Happy Valentine's everyone!
My only regret is that I am only able to give this song a single thumbs-up.
people work so hard trying to write music like a child, and he definitely does it. its so genuine.
I think it’s because in many ways he was a child. His mental illness never really allowed him to grow into his own adult. He never had a relationship beyond platonic friendship
Daniel Johnston: don't be said I know you will
Me: ok
Tomorrow: Daniel Johnston passed away
finding this 13 years later, Rest in peace mate
This song reminds me of 60's Bob Dylan love it
Kelly Robinson this song reminds me of a man trying to drown a cat
indierokkers Your comment reminds me of a man trying to troll.
With a name like indierokkers I would think you would be able to appreciate Daniel. Guess you just don't get it. Go listen to some more mainstream drivel and leave us here on the obscure side of youtube where we came to get away from people like you.
indierokkers Oh shut up, kid you're not a true indie rocker.
you're a true piece of shit
Literally crying at my desk listening to this right now
This is the most beautiful song ever written
holy fuck he was right
what do u mean?
odiumimbues
I guess true love found Captain Beefheart in the end.
Rest in peace, Daniel. I doubt you'll read this wherever you are. But you left us with a ton of wonderful songs. I only wish I'd discovered you sooner
daniel is probably one of the most honest people, his music is unadulterated, raw and self-expressionistic. despite his rough life and problems he manages to make songs like this and its amazing. Just pure optimism and hope from someone with such a sad story
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
This is the first time I've ever heard Daniel Johnston and I couldn't help but shed some tears listening to this. I know a little bit about his background and his struggles with mental illness and such, and I found out he passed away through these comments, which made me kinda sad. But I wanted to share my thoughts on this song. Listening to this reminded me of a heavy shroom trip I took where I experienced ego death, I had died in my trip and it was one of the scariest, yet beautiful experiences I have ever felt. I was very scared because the dying felt so real to me, but the beauty I experienced after I died was soooo overwhelmingly beautiful, I felt such good feelings and could see beautiful colors and visuals, it felt better than any love or beautiful emotion I could ever feel, and I can't help but feel like this song speaks to me in that sense. Maybe it's not love through other people that we find in the end, but rather true love we experience from something more, from the entities/energies in the universe that we cant see but can feel. Maybe when we die we get enveloped in a type of love that we dont understand as we are living, but when we die it all makes sense. I cant help but feel like it's the ultimate peace, and this song speaks to me and makes me feel like Daniel Johnston understood this, and maybe that's what he was speaking on, "true love will find you in the end"
It may not be true and my comment may just be more ramblings of a madman, but I find this soooo beautiful, and I really do hope we all find true love in the end. Peace and love be with you all if you made it this far.
Hey DJ fans. Dan had an accident that hurt his foot at his home. It was nasty looking and healing is complicated due to diabetes. He was admitted again to a hospital for IV, antibiotic treatment and has been released after about 5 days. If you like him send a little prayer.
Cant believe it’s been a year. RIP Daniel Johnston.
Happy Valentines Day. Hang in there singles ❤
I've always seen this song as not just true love, but as happiness and meaning. You've gotta put in the work but you will find it.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I just had the most intense cry I've had in months because of this song. It's so beautiful
Snot began to flow from my nose and I pooped a little bit I feel the exact same way.
Those who come from the video of the SNCF are the best.
This is a punch in the guts every time
I m sure I will never find true love,i stopped searching.i have never met you Daniel Johnston but I miss you so much.i have severe OCD it's hell on earth
wow, you really do wanna cry, this is the most pure thing
It makes me cry every time. Something truly beautiful about this song.
I love my autistic mate with learning disabilities. I love her company, she is the best and I am always there for her. She has faced all of the loneliness and bullying and abuse of all kinds. She never had a friend. Now she’s got me. I’m an activist psychotherapist and I’ve got her back from now on whenever she wants my help. I don’t give up and I don’t walk away.
But when I’m on my own I’m heartbroken and I listen to this and I cry.
book 'True life in God', V. Ryden - for loneliness
Daniel johnson was a person who had such a hard life the battles he had to go through everyday in terms of his mental health must of been so painful and tormenting so the way he still managed to find an escape for it with his music even if it was for a short while and its just him recording it on a cassete player at home it was his way off showing who he was as a person in terms of the songs the titles of the songs, the artwork it was just so raw and real and im glad the world got to hear it in some capacity
Don't mind me just gonna listen to this 5 times in a row
Vans took me here... Thanks vans!
I wake up and see that all my daniel johnston songs besides walking the cow are no longer on spotify
Ik I'm so pissed why did they remove them
im a big music collector but had not heard of Daniel until I read about his passing 20 minutes ago, so I searched him on CZcams, this is the first song of his I listened to, its recorded very amateurishly, the balance is all out of whack, it has an almost childlike innocence about its simplicity but it brought tears to my eyes, absolutely brilliant!
That's why we love it. Check out more!
How it was recorded does not matter, that it was, does.
Once in a while, a pure and divine message is broadcast into this universe from that somewhere else, which pierces through your soul and touches that buried and undisturbed part of you; the part that is the connecting link to everything else. This is one of those messages. In no tangible way is this song special. But there is an ineffable quality there that makes it unbearably powerful. Few ever find a route into themselves that goes deep enough to pull something like this out, and fewer still have the courage and ability to convey it. Thank you, Daniel. Rest easy...
you're right. i feel like if you were to reach out to feel the creases of beauty, you would find this song
Words cannot describe how sad I am right now... Daniel's songs, and this one in particular, helped me through a dark period in my life that I don't even know how I managed to come out alive of. RIP Legend!
Songs aren't only missing from Spotify but also from CZcams Music.... Hmmmm
The song doesn't promise that you will recognize true love when it finds you. It just promises that it will find you if you put yourself out there.
I only wish this song was longer. I can't explain why but i love this so much. It's sweet and sad and hopeful (something about that line "don't be sad, I know you will" that just cuts me right to the core). I'm so glad I found this song and at the same time I really want to cry I think.
And here i am again...and this song still moves me to my core. RIP brother
My friends know when I pass I want them to party and listen to my favorite jams. This is one of them
