A tribute to Daniel Johnston, who passed away on the 10th of September at the age of 58, due to a heart attack.
Truly a prolific independent artist who inspires me in volumes I cannot describe with my measly vocabulary. Never has a celebrity's death effected me in this way before.
Dedicated to Daniel, his friends and family, and all of the people who are blessed by his heart. There's a heaven and a star for you.
lyrics
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 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 looking too
But how can it recognize you
If you don't 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

Clever deconstruction of a commonly hated bump in pop culture. Ross Bagdasarian is a masterful vocalist on the old chipmunks records and it's truly brought to light on this little plunderphonic piece. Langley
Emotional masterpiece and my favorite record of all time. Not a second wasted here, I can't suggest this one enough. Listen with headphones if you are able. Langley
