“Walking the Cow” made me pull off the road and cry halfway through the first time I heard it.

[@remy3854]

I personally think his first album Songs of Pain is the best

[@ForeverSpinning]

Such an amazing album! I pretty much love all of his records, so it was tough picking just a few for this video

[@tommerstr]

Songs of pain < songs of pain 2

[@dionelreyes529]

Great video

[@FirstnameLastname-mb2ek]

Premarital sex is very underrated, might just be my fav DJ songs

[@vVincent.]

if someone who doesnt know dj would read this they would be so confused

[@KutWrite]

Hi. Where did you get the photo of Daniel hugging his guitar?

[@ForeverSpinning]

honestly, i don’t remember. it’s been a couple of years haha

You're a million times better than needle drop, but then again I've literally never liked that guy

[@ForeverSpinning]

thanks!

[@Johnny-mp2ew]

I sobbed hysterically for a good half an hour first time I heard story of an artist

[@ForeverSpinning]

honestly, same here lol. that song destroyed me and still does

[@tf2colossal]

The whole song is heart wrenching but the "the best things in life are truly free, singing birds and laughing bees, 'you got me wrong' says he, 'the sun don't shine in your tv'" absolutely DESTROYS me every time I hear it

[@carolynfreiwald708]

Story of an artist is wonderful. Just discovered him.

[@proctologicalprincess]

I wouldn't recommend "Hi How Are You" as a first listen for Daniel's music as it's really inaccessible. I'd recommend the album "Fun" as a good first listen to get into his music

[@clamshell6863]

He is the father of independent music. He is very unique.

[@XCraftllc]

I think he only had like one album that was with a label and it failed. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually wanted it to.

[@garinacampos225]

Such good quality on your videos, keep doing this, you have a lot of potential, good luck!

[@ForeverSpinning]

Thanks! Really appreciate the support :)

[@MeanManu]

You did a good job and you’re not annoying like Fantano. There’s still hope for the young generation !

[@ForeverSpinning]

Thanks!

[@DevonPhoenix]

Not really. I got harrassed for drinking mountain dew is how i ended up here

[@best4businesswrestling]

Keep going man I love your energy! Great video :)

[@MrKidBusy]

5th album of 1983?

[@patrickryan8639]

poor you is first

[@peepnox7747]

Nice video 👍

[@LemonWedgeinc]

Sure, hi how are you is a great album by all means, but the album only works as a whole, if you take a song out you’re basically ripping a chapter out of the album, and this album seems like something you’ve gotta make your way to, I’d suggest songs of pain as a first when it comes to Johnston’s albums, not only is it his first album, but it also sets the stories for the rest of his songs that Daniel grieves about for the rest of his life, also he’s got so many great and underrated songs, I feel like songs like True love will find you in the end and The story of an artist cast the rest of his great songs in their shadows, but overall Daniel Johnston is an amazing artist in every sense of the word!

[@ForeverSpinning]

I completely agree that Hi, How Are You is an album you need to listen to from front to back. I was just highlighting some of the album’s best moments. Songs of Pain is a great choice to start off with as well. I was thinking of picking that instead of Yip/Jump Music. And to your point of there being better songs than True Love and Story of An Artist, I do agree. But I find those songs some of the easiest ones to start with. His discography is so expansive and wonderful, it’s tough to just pick a handful of albums and tracks lol. Thanks for the reply! Appreciate the thought :)

[@ST-xg3gy]

I'm also interested in Dungen.

Great video m8! Thankyou, I heard about this great artist when I listen to Teen Suicide's song It's a Big Joyous Celebration. This video helps me a lot to get into.

[@mateomarquez1790]

Great work!

[@wheninroamful]

Great vid presence and vid, but it’s my first of yours cuz I’m a huge DJ fan. I got two concerns…. 1. You say “Hi, How Are You?” Is his Fifth release of 1983, not true; if it is, prey tell the other Four. 2. Just wanna say that a chord organ ALSO plays individual notes as well as the ‘push-button’ chords. Thanks for spreading the message of Daniel’s amazing melodic, soulful work.

[@Homelessman45678]
