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

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.

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 like his story of going in front of record executives and them telling him it was a mistake, did he listen? NO!

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.

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.

Its so unbelievably beautiful and full of compassion everything we need in life wrapped up in 2 minutes

I always think that this song is about self love The hardest kind of love.

This is true poetry, not flashy, fake, its just straight from the heart

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.

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 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.

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 KZread 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.

similar thing happened to us but he was a family. I still feel denial to this day.

Happy Valentine's everyone!

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

i dont wanna die alone anymore

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.

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.

Im so grateful i got to see him play live in Hamilton Ontario Canada before he passed. A true musician and very unique. May you rest in peace

“True love is like when you have some good times and when you remember them they’re even better” -Daniel Johnston

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've listened to this song so many times in my life, but this time was the first time ever a song has ever made me cry, and i wasn't even thinking about the lyrics.

And here i am again...and this song still moves me to my core. RIP brother

Daniel was beautiful in an unfathomably ugly world.

It makes me cry every time. Something truly beautiful about this song.

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

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

a good friend, also a singer who passed away last wednesday used to play this song at every end of his shows... i hope true love found him in the end.

i saw the moldy peaches in london last night and while we were waiting for them to come out, they played this over the speakers. this song has been in my life for years and i treasure it like a friend. i was in a lot of pain and feeling kinda overwhelmed by the amount of people flooding in, but the second this played i felt all the uncertainty and anxiety in my body dissipate. i just can’t explain how it makes me feel - it’s like a hug.

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

Although living life gets stuck in my head the the most this song reasonates the most to me.

This song reminds me of 60's Bob Dylan love it

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.

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

I played this song yesterday in our church worship service. It was part of a tribute to people who had passed away during the year.

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 KZread, 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!

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

wow, you really do wanna cry, this is the most pure thing

I was so sad that they removed this from spotify, so happy its still here on youtube.

Why am i crying in the club right now... RIPOWER

This is the first time I've ever heard this song, Im crying

Best love song of all time. Like, it’s not even very close

What makes this sad and makes me cry, is knowing that true love doesnt exist. And if it does, so very few find it.

I used to sing this song to myself when quarantine first started. I felt so lonely. This song reminds me of the bitter-sweet sadness of 2020.

What an wonderful artist and human being. RIP, Daniel. I will being listening to your voice for the rest of my life.

I had never heard of this guy or this song or anything. It was just a KZread suggestion. This made me cry.
