Listen up and I'll tell a story About an artist growing old Some would try for fame and glory Others aren't so bold Everyone, and friends and family Saying, "Hey! Get a job!" "Why do you only do that only? Why are you so odd? We don't really like what you do. We don't think anyone ever will. It's a problem that you have, And this problem's made you ill." Listen up and I'll tell a story About an artist growing old Some would try for fame and glory Others aren't so bold The artist walks alone Someone says behind his back, "He's got his gall to call himself that! He doesn't even know where he's at!" The artist walks among the flowers Appreciating the sun He does this all his waking hours But is it really so wrong? They sit in front of their TV Saying, "Hey! This is fun!" And they laugh at the artist Saying, "He doesn't know how to have fun." The best things in life are truly free Singing birds and laughing bees "You've got me wrong", says he. "The sun don't shine in your TV" Listen up and I'll tell a story About an artist growing old Some would try for fame and glory Others aren't so bold Everyone, and friends and family Saying, "Hey!

Listen up and I'll tell a story About an artist growing old Some would try for fame and glory Others just like to watch the world. Daniel Johnston is a brilliant songwriter, singer and artist. He has been diagnosed with manic depression, some people call him crazy others call him genious. I discovered him some days ago(yes i'm ashamed) and i got super interested in his career and life. Watch the documentary "The Devil and Daniel Johnston" (2006), you won't regret it!:) Here it is the most beautiful and touching song he has(i guess!):) I just collected some pictures and put them all together with the song. Sometimes they match with it and sometimes they don't:P some are pretty bad but most of them are Daniel Johnston's pictures and drawings:) hope you like it!:D xx
