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.

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.

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.

It was nice hearing this during the credits for Joker 2. Hopefully, it will appear in a good movie at some point 😊.

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.

RIP Daniel Johnston. I hope he found love, I hope we all do.

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♥️

I married my true love on my 60th birthday, she said I wouldn't forget our anniversary. Never too old to find it, thanks Daniel.

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.

Never has a songwriter done so much with so little as he does in this song.

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