Preach - Lyrics
I don't care if it's too late for this
I'm used to that
I don't need an angel
I don't care ten years early
I'm tentative then gone
I am a shadow
I drink too much
I need to find signs
Time let's get around
I find it hard to breathe the truth
All the things I think, I breathe
You seep into my lungs
But I don’t wanna a broken heart
I admit I’m living just inside my home
But I don’t wanna live here no more
Now I dance to my own beat
I can only try
'Cause I fall at my own feet
I’m tripping every time
I could run down the high street
But that would be a lie
Now I preach to the lonely
I don’t care we fish for answers
Not too late for this
'Cause we were never strangers
I felt everything was effortless, unnatural
I'm more than just a creature
Now I dance to my own beat
I can only try
'Cause I fall at my own feet
I’m tripping every time
I could run down the high street
But that would be a lie
Now I preach to the lonely

It’s crazy how much his vocals evolved over the years. I loved silverchair.

[@apelidoindisponivel0]

Daniel said we will never see him again on stage. This performance is worth a lifetime. It gives me goosebumps every time.

[@rafaelzum]

This is one of those moments when time stops on Earth. One of the most incredible live performances I've ever seen.

[@CatrinaSteele]

Amazing performance

[@Kate9067]

No kidding. I gritted my teeth the whole time.

[@leaveittoweaver4525]

I literally watch this over & over. It makes me just heartsick how the industry took a CHILD & traumatized him so he wants nothing to do with it. I understand he had mental health issues but u cannot tell me a good amount of it is to blame for his anorexia & anxiety. He is fucking brilliant. It's sad we prob won't ever see Silverchair together to sing the songs we loved but I totally get it.

[@MrZZsharka]

@@leaveittoweaver4525nfortunately Australia had the biggest tall poppy syndrome on earth and going from living in regional Newcastle to all that attention would have been super weird, especially for an introvert who felt and thought differently to most Aussies his age. The other Australian bands were boring compared to silverchair, with average joe looking band members who also acted similar. So the paparazzi mostly focused on Daniel. They even followed him to school.

[@Geo_Babe]

Couldn’t agree more

[@Brodzzzzz]

Tell you what... After listening to that Podcast and then watching this performence... Goosebumps... So many god damn emotions pouring out of him.. Love you so much Dan.

[@Geo_Babe]

Same ! Just listened in 2023 and here I am ! ❤ we are all so lucky to have this man and his gift

[@jennifermitchem6125]

I am in love with this music. People need to give Silverchair its proper burial. He was a kid. He is a fine ass man with some serious talent. His music is smoking hot. He has skills. I can let the music play and chill. Never skip a track. Bravo Daniel.

[@Geo_Babe]

Un f-ing réal !!! We are all so lucky to have this man and his musical offerings! They are sacred for sure ❤

[@michelledrougas9625]

I am so annoyed with myself for not going to this performance! Incredible!!! I can't believe Daniel doesn't want to do live shows anymore! It's on my bucket list to watch you perform live at the Sydney Opera House, just you, a piano and your voice. That would be everything!!! Please fight the anxiety and perform again, you are amazing!!!!!

[@jeepathecreepa]

not that easy.....

[@bambiavila4088]

Preach is awesome! This live version is sooooo raw and shows your true talent as a lyricist and musician, as well as a singer. And I do not listen to pop, I listen to rock! I found TALK by accident and I love it. Yes, I miss Silver chair! But we still have you. Your words go straight to the heart. Thank-you!

[@qqq3542]

I dont care what people say, i love it!! keep going Dan!! lots of love and support from Argentina 😁👍

[@jeffro180563]

Brilliant, love the maturity, he has always been true to himself

[@UniQueLyEviL]

Jack Hunt This

[@jeffro180563]

Yes but that was a labour of love, for the other two Chris and Ben, a cash injection before itunes. This can only get better and I know for sure SC are not done yet, he needs to do this so he can come back stronger in the rock seen. The live SC concerts were the best

[@jennneil875]

He's Amazing. NUFF SAID

[@MrZZsharka]

Except when he hit the erase button on a new album for silverchair because he didn’t want to do angry anymore and then wrote and composed Young Modern instead. Bloody Anti Depressants will do it.

[@carlykingston9428]

@@MrZZsharka don't let the sun go down on your anger😁🤟👂🤘🔥🤔🤫

[@xxxxxsero]

That is exactly how I sing it while I'm driving- feeling the lyrics with all my soul and with the volume turned all the way up! Mr. Johns possesses a power that very few people have - reaching into the deepest corners of your mind and soul, brutally shaking your very existance and leaving an eternal impression on you! Pure awesomeness! 🤘🖤🤘

[@Eteremlo]

This is one of the worlds best performances EVER! Besides beeing the sexiest man on the planet by the way😍

[@AbbeyRoad74]

Incredible. He gives everything of himself ❤️

[@sunkissedboi]

Some times people can't except the different levels of creative greatness Don't let the generics of this world.. dimmish your spirit !!

[@PrestonHazard]

Yeah Im a Silverchair fan, that’s obviously how I discovered Daniel. But how could you not realize the artistry of his now work. This song is fantastic, all of his work is out of this world.

[@n.sayder]

touches my soul and my heart

[@inspiredbystarr]

DAN SAVED MY LIFE without Knowing it. He's literally my hero and the muse for my arts! I love him and i hope nothing but the best for this beautiful creature

[@justchilling_.]

Master Piece! Listened to Silver Chair in Highschool! And now a more mature adult still listening to this wonderful Artist!!!

[@franciscoenelespacio5272]

It took me a little longer this time to get the whole idea/concept of this new musical journey, but now I truly think it has something magical, something different, and I liked it a lot. Greetings from Chile, southamerica.

[@vorachitcherdpradith5524]

I think you found yourself already. I love the way you are man. Keep going!!!

[@AndreusFaria]

Passional and so emotive. I could feel the story he were telling in each sentence. Keep going, Dan.

[@laismky311]

I loved when he used to play his guitar like he was making love to it. I think he doesn't play anymore because he has tendonitis . He was a damn good guitarist. I saw this coming during Silverchair's last tour. He was sure into that hypnotic funk.

[@marianamarcedo9164]

Quanta perfeição meu Deus!? Do silver a carreira solo e do mesmo jeito me surpreende muito!!! Moh orgulho de poder ter tido uma banda como silver p embalar minha adolescência e agora minha fase adulta. 👊😍

[@_J.C._]

Outstanding performance! 😮 The amount of true emotions/feelings delivered is insane! He seems to be expelling a lot of things he accumulated over the years. Daniel is really excellent live, i always like the live versions of his songs even more. 👏🙌👏

[@BRUM5]

I’ve seen this amazing man live so many times and he just oozes pure talent ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@starboy2013]

He looks liberated....

[@petbandok]

+jack smith Truly....

[@jennneil875]

He is

[@_marlon]

This song is badass! He's such an amazing artist! Can't wait to check out the rest of this album! Diorama was the shit though! It should go down as one of the greatest albums ever composed.

[@JoshuaMachuca]

Shocking performance!!! I can not believe what I just saw...

[@dig-12]

Sensacional! Esse cara é um músico extremamente incrível

[@CrimsonBlkfthr]

i can't say enough about this album. i simply just love it. great work johns! keep it up and don't listen to the haters. you've transcended into another realm of your music to express yourself and your amazing talent. love it love it love it! if i were to be given the opportunity to work with a musician such as yourself i would consider myself blessed. PEACE!

[@zaagidwin757]

Me too. It's a little bit of sign language jazz hands 👍 no I joke but it's all good i love it 😄

[@thatonedude1003]

Still a wonderful entertainer. Daniel's performance reminds me of Prince back in the days. The venue, lights, and this song made for one cool vibe...

[@pfox5945]

Thanks Dan 🌟😊

[@applescratchcandy]

Still got it And then some! What an evolution! What an atmospheric performance and song! WOW!

[@sleepymommy01]

Happy Birthday Daniel! Great performance!!!

[@djcyberash4926]

Been following him since frogstomp and whatever he does I'm sure will superb

[@PrincessUniKoRn]

Damn boy! Love that voice and this moody track!

[@jhonr.s6752]

is amazing man! best peformance.

[@adzmorris]

Incredible. So so so good. Love that he has evolved and changed yet again. I wish more Aussie artists had the guts and ability to take their art on this journey of growth and almost educate and expose their fans to new sounds rather than just playing slightly different versions of the same thing. Thank you Daniel.

[@danieladiniz620]

Great performance, Daniel! I wish you the Best ❤ Não vejo a hora de ouvir teu novo álbum. 🇧🇷 Um abraço! A big kiss from Brazil in your heart! (I dont speak english very well)

[@avedic]

THIS is actually really quite cool. Helps me appreciate the vibe he's going for a bit better. Still not that crazy about the new material...but I DO like this song. And this performance. And the lyrics... *"I thought that everything was effortless and natural.....but I'm only just a creature."* I have no idea how close I am on that....but this song is so confessional. I feel like that one line is about how people percieve his songwriting abilities as supernatural....but he's merely an evolved ape like the rest of us. It's really quite beautiful...especially since I'm very well acquainted with Daniel after following him so closely these past 15 years since I first heard Neon Ballroom as a kid. The lyrics of this song kinda break my heart a bit...there's some brutally *honest* lyrics in this song.

[@lindsaypez1048]

avedic Agreed! I was just about to say, "This song breaks my heart a little bit" then I saw you wrote that. These lyrics are so honest and he feels them from the depths of his being. I appreciate that he shared his feelings with the world; it probably wasn't easy. I love everything that he does. I used to only be a rock fan but I think he's helped me step out to appreciate all kinds of music. I look forward to everything he comes out with. I hope as time goes on, he is more recognized for his artistry -- the feelings he evokes with his music are profound. Not a lot of people can do that. This song is beautiful and a perfect demonstration of what he can do.

[@ronesss33]

Lindsay Pez beautifully put 💘

[@michaelattard4757]

by far the best song on the album

[@notpaintedanymore1034]

Holy fucking shit, I didn't really like Aerial Love and was so disappointed but this is fucking incredible. It's probably one of my favourite songs Daniel has ever done.

[@coyotestarastrology]

Fucking love this brilliant man. One of the greatest artists to walk this earth.

[@amandasouza1588]

I love it!

That harp. Oh, yeah ;) The ending - just epic (with the harp, of course:). (And this fucking awesome emotional vocal, especially without the ear-thing-sound-monitor.... - though I would change the falsetto for this incredible full chest sound). Nice masterpiece. Chapeau bas.

[@liquid7315]

Wow. The live version sounds more... impactful.
