My favourite song by Daniel.
Agh
Def one of my favourites. So great. A friend of mine had the lyrics read out as a ‘reading’ at his wedding.
Ah fuck that’s really sad.
RIP Daniel. Not thinking of what is lost but what is left behind. A truly unique songwriter and artist:
Never understood how someone that had faced the challenges he did could write something as delicate and beautiful as this. RIP.
This is the song I keep coming back to tonight. x
Utterly gutted, big part of my late teens / early twenties and into more ‘alternative’ music in general. Astounding songwriting and one of those guys who could bottle a single thought or melody and make it seem unique and huge. And everything was just so him. Even named an art’s club in school after this tune:
so so sad
I’ve listened to the Sparklehorse + Flaming Lips cover so many times, but it was nice to listen to the original again.
never heard Life in Vain before watching that video earlier. the album version is great too. wow.
Another great American songwriter gone. These are dark days indeed.
Start each day with a clean slate You’ll feel better if you can shake off all that hate And don’t forget to forgive and forget Don’t let the sun go down on your grievances
This song has given me so much comfort through some of the shittiest times. RIP Daniel.
A nice story here from Leagues, who brought Daniel to Ireland in the late 2000s.
Fuck, this is so sad.
So much of his work was understatedly beautiful and simple. Genius of a songwriter.
Going to quietly reflect today and indulge myself in his catalogue.
Really sad about this. I never got to see him play but I found his story quite inspirational. true love will find you is beautiful.
Nice little story here from Tony Wright too (VerseChorusVerse, ex-ASIWYFA)
