    Maybe I'm really late discovering the (old) songs of Daniel Johnston.

    I have seen him the first time as he performed with "the swell season" in Austin City Limits. Downloaded the DVD some time ago and now had the time to take a look.

    After that I tried to find out some background informations about Daniel. Read about his diseases.

    It's really too bad he is not able to give us more. I don't find the words to explain what I feel about that...

    Beautiful song. I know very little about him so will have to do some research.

    I love The Swell Season a lot, and Glen Hansard. I have the film Once to thank for having heard of them as I didn't have a clue they existed before I saw it.

    I love accoustic performances, a childrens choir and really touching songs as TATE also did.

    I was wondering why he "ran" from the stage. It looks like he flees before it's to late or so.

    Thanks, Robes.

    I just found out about that documentary. But I'm afraid I will not really understand it, there's no german version. And in english I believe it will be difficult for me. But I will give it a try.
