Daniel Johns - Preach Lyrics

Best song along with 16!

Absolutely love this song !!!! Great for contemporary dance choreography!! The melody lends itself to rhythmic storytelling!! Love I!!! ❤️❤️

Love to your soul dear Daniel. Stay strong.

This man was my idol in my teens, I had the long hair, the eyebrow ring, man I even had the red Gibson SG. I hated when silverchair changed, but this Sir Daniel is amazing! So much soul! Beautiful!

i was a HUUUGE silverchair fan.. was in their fan club the Llama Appreciation Society n everything lol... had basically a shrine to daniel on my wall when i was a teenager! in my opinion, looks wise i still prefer old daniel, but as far as his solo stuff, hes got pipes! and great range! love him to death still! 💖

jilly bean god I miss the 90’s!

We'll make it up to you in the year 2020 maybe, new song eh?

This man is a diamond, he is a gem... Dreamin of smoking cigarette with him, sure hi is one of a person you can tottally be comfortable with and tottally crazy, I just feel his vibes

this is called music masterpiece!

Too much soy Daniel - sort your life out Tofu boy.

He's not a vegan/vegetarian anymore.

Daniel, you're so talent. Keep up the good work. Never stop making this art.

That's amazing.

yes you are talented as hell nobody doubts that but please get back to the guitar it misses you along with the fans!

Of course I miss Silverchair, but I’m happy for ya for being brave enough to do your own thing. Lyrics in this are sad as fuck :(

All the AERIAL LOVE EP is magic ! I 'll never tire of it

NNNnnnnnnnnOooooooOoOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for those who hate : where is logic ? if hes genius in rock and in whatever he makes now still hes music genius ! why adding genius features to his young years suddenly make him traitor of rock or anything , when one feel music its like love - you loved , you love new , you will love another new - could you say earlier there was no love ? or that you suck in love? for me personally and i dare to say its absolute truth : its like you have what you like form his youth and now you have what you dont like and possibly will like in future and ITS always more and its always better ! not only form the artist pint of view but even mathematically and logically its better ! :D <3

Woke up with this playing in my head this morning ... now sitting at the train station enjoying

Sweeeeeeet!

BEAUTIFUL 🖤🗡

You are not just the youngest Grunge icon in the mid-90's...you prove yourself as a Versatile Music Artist.

Te amooooo muitoooo <3

We're about the same age, Daniel, I've been listening to you since the Silverchair days when we were both angsty teens. (I called my firstborn Daniel, actually) I absolutely love the different directions you've taken in your solo career, dancing to your own beat as you say. Frogstomp was the first CD I ever owned. You were a musical genius then, and you're a musical genius now.

great artist and singer

I think people forget that music is meant to be explored, why stick to one genre when you can grow up and express yourself in many different styles? Respect that, if you want grunge and alternative rock then go listen to Silverchair. And if you were really a fan of his work and respected him then you'd let him do what he wants. No ones making you click on the videos. It's a good song and I love both Silverchair and Daniel Johns solo work.

Honesty and art are wrapped up in the hearts of children. I think, sadly, Daniel Johns has lost what he had in his youth. This all just sounds like pretence. Needs to be raw, that was his great talent.

Daniel what happend to you, what is this shit>>????? Daniel wake up, you are a fucking rock star, cut off your horrible mustache let your long hair again and comeback with silverchair , wake up daniel, wake up

He can't grow his hair long the same I believe since he had receding hair, then he got hairplugs to regrow hair, so I'm not sure he can grow his hair out the way it was. Thought you'd like to know that. He had a mustache during Young Modern--that was Silverchair.

You're all full of shit. If you didn't know this was Daniel Johns you wouldn't even listen to it.

True. But this IS Daniel Johns.

I freakin love this song!

he is experimenting with new sounds... Cause he can. Deal with it

Wow so happy I found this song. Love it!

What a change ! Not my kind of music but it's good that Daniel is following his heart! My GF would probably like it though !

one of my favorite artists has turned into a Justin Timberlake version. I miss the old Daniel.

I'm still loving preach & goin on 16.

I heard this on the radio and it sounded good so I'm here lol

Daniel Johns continues to be a great musical talent. As a huge silverchair fan however it just pains me that he is now moving in this style because I don't like the genres and I don't think it'll grow on me.

repeat... repeat.. repeat..
thank you Daniel xx

This is the music Maximus needed when he was fighting his evil lord in Gladiator . I think he would have lived .

Craig Patterson 😂😂😂

has he always had a lisp?

Daphne Matsyk yes

not bad....justin timberlack....

If Daniel wants to make songs like that, he could at least make a song with Daft Punk... Im just saying

parabéns!!! música muito loka

i love your heart your soul your depth

Best song on the album. A lot of soul and sincerity.

Daniel Johns. Cool MF who has evolved musically over the past 20yrs. Feeling it.

You're a incredible musician. Love you Daniel. You're very good man!

Must I make a lyrics video of this song? Like when agree

Am I the only one who thinks that this song would fit good in 50 shades of grey?

the album got a very sexy melody
singer's voice more mature
I prefer this - Aerial Love
"At the end of the day
It's alright
Gonna pull it together
Change my ways, take a piece of the future
Waited so long
For the end of the da"

oh no please don't drag daniel johns in a shitty piece like 50 shades.

hi everyone

siapapun orangnya kalau tersesat pasti akan mencari jalan pulang. semoga beruntung daniel \m/

I'm right behind you Daniel. Good Luck. Chris Mathers. 2016.

What's the f.... difference between this and: Disclosure - Omen ft. Sam Smith ?
Repeatable music for masses.

Changes are necessary... but he destroys his uniqueness and replacing it, sadly... with something like this.

alot of haters, guy has alot of talent anything he does he pisses greatness. i think he does music that expresses himself and challenges himself, i will always remember one of my fav albums diorama.

I'm Neon Ballrom fan. But before this, I like good music and Daniel does it some times.

I admit, I've been ignoring your new music because I was the biggest Silverchair fan and was scared of being disappointed...you sir, have proven to me that it doesn't matter what genre or style you play. You're truly a musical genius. I'm jamming to this shit. Errday!

exact same scenerio here!
still love him tho! 💙

I felt like that too! Really impressed! <3

This sounds cool and all...reminds me of the Weeknd's older stuff though. Kinda passé now ..

A bunch of negative Nancies on here. Oh wah he's not rewriting/performing the same songs again and again, and oh wah he's doing what an artist does and trying new things. If you dont like it just leave it be for fans and go listen to your old SC cds, they're still there.

Everyone in the comments acting like they possess the musical talent to actually judge Daniel Johns lol

For real though. We he leaves he will have left this world better than he found it. What did you fucks do today? Get offended? *double bird fingers*

Right. Well, we are the audience.

musically yes, he's no genius. He's no wizard with instruments. Songwriting,well he's no wordsmith with lyrics either but his structure is very impressive. The audience ultimately will judge and no one is above criticism.

Suck a dick all you all. Daniel johns is an Aussie musical genius . He’s one of the best in the world at what he does.
Know his background and know he’s talent and what he’s capable of. He is one of the best all time Aussie musicians

@drdoobie420, you're awesome lol ♥

I like this one. More than the singles, I think.

Thank you for such a pleasure.

Im totally diggin' this new material of yours, Dan. Hmm that must mean im also growing with ur music :)

I'm addicted to it. This from a Silverchair fan from 1995. ADDICTED to these sounds he's making. Now I DANNNNCE to my own BEEEEAT!!!! I'm only just a creature.

Keep up the beautiful work man...I love how you always go in different directions...don't listen to the negative shit. Learn to listen to the people that actually care and want to help you and block out the people who are just jealous and are trying to destroy you for their own benefit

I wish more people knew about this. I'm 33 now, was a huge silverchair fan in middle school, highschool and all the sudden I started wondering if Daniel was even alive anymore. I was struggling with eating disorders at the same time he wrote ana's song. I am in heaven listening to this new stuff. Love, love, love it. I think he's a genius, and he's overlooked to often. I'm into my third hour of my Daniel Johns binge on YouTube.

shhh...I'm trying to listen to this song you guys, stop being so loud.

Know what he's singing about here, people? I'm not looking for an answer, but interpretations or observations are welcome.

simply beautiful....

Yeah Man !!!

Love it ... thanks Daniel :)

all music is subjective! one really needs to try and put aside what Johns sounded like back in the "silverchair" days. Personally I was neither a fan nor was I opposed to the music. I took each track on their merit and liked what i liked. While this sounds nothing like those days, i'm not attempting to make a comparison... On first listen I absolutely love this track. He sounds brilliant.

Listens to this song on repeat and wonders how far Daniel Johns will go.. I love his work... don't listen to the nay sayers

Dear Daniel,

I will always respect you as the great artist you are and still are. I love your new album because I feel as though it comes 100% from your heart and soul and I love that most about you. I have been a fan since Frogstomp and I have grown into an adult with you and understand your meaning to every song and every lyric. As I have grown older with you, I have appreciated your music more and appreciate the balls you have to be who you are and put yourself out there the way you do.
I have been able to relate to your music in many ways and that is what has kept me a life long fan. I can relate to the eating disorder and being uncomfortable in your own skin and the teen angst and the many other emotions your music brings.
 Every album I am amazed at how much you have changed and developed into so much more then the super attractive young heartthrob you are. I am sick of hearing people say "it sounds nothing like Silverchair!" I am pretty sure your goal was to not sound like them and that is why you went solo! Doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. People need to move on. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the music you made with Silverchair but I also love your solo just as much because it is still you, and I can feel the passion behind it all and I find it incredible and relate able.
I find you amazing and I love every song on the new album and if people could feel the music rather then just hear it, then I think your album would get much more recognition. I just wanted you to know that there is a fan who loves you and your solo work and understands the beautiful mind you have and I hope you continue to make music forever. I will always listen.

Love,
Your Biggest Fan

Seriously his musical progression is awesome...I grew up on silverchair, and he is making music which is current and relevant...I guess..Drake , Neo and Weeknd, aren't making hits, which are relevant? Daniel has progressed into a true musician...and that's Art...

M.C.D Demeyezz 💜💜💜

I think what Daniel is doing is fantastic...keep up the awesome work my man...and I have something in mind, to collaborate with you on, with Aussie Rnb singer (Soul) who's doing great in Asia and USA @ www.reverbnation.com/cynthiasu... Great work Daniel

Brilliant shit here bra.... fucking love it.

Fuck the haters Dan, this is sick.

Dont give a fuck what the old school fans say.  IF you're a true music lover...A TRUE LOVER, you would respect what he has done.  And personally from a old '70-80 rock fan and 90's hair band fan, respect to the Frog days. But this shit is EPIC!!!  Bring it Dan, lovin it.  But wouldn't mind ANY type of rockness you have left  :P

Well I am pleasantly surprised. This song, from the melody, to the lyrics, to his captivating voice, I am mesmerized. I cannot stop listening to this song! I hope he publishes the lyrics soon. I love, love, love this!!! <3

One of the best voices in the business. I'm looking forward to the 'progression of this'

Anyone know of songs that are similar to this ?

@Noodliest Jaryd James "Do You Remember" came to mind immediately.

@Death of a Carer
 Hahaha. I actually have that song, I listen to it along side Preach sometimes.

Damn. Thank you though ! :)

@Noodliest with further in-depth evaluation (I listened to it while drinking beer), it screams Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel...Genisis.

+Death of a Carer I had the exact same thought. I said to someone "Collins and Gabriel had a baby and its Danial Johns apparently" lmao. its good though.

There is a song called “ Greed” that also sounds like this. Look up Josh Killacky vidéo doing contemporary dance to the song Greed , sounds almost like Daniel’s

This is so incredibly gay

Just wanted to say again that this song is fucking AMAZING. Totally fucking rocking out to it. Thanks, Daniel!

I LOVE this!!!!!!!

OMFG,I can't stop listening!!! :)

Wow. Some people are salty af that Daniel isn't making their favourite generic nu-rock albums anymore.

If you're a real fan of the artist, you'll love anything they do. Grunge was hot back then, what did you guys expect him to do, try to bring back grunge? He's talented, let him do what he wants.

we love your new sound.

Love this so much.

I can't get enough of the chorus!

waste of time..this lacks direction..oh well

Like you have the faintest idea about direction

I'm in a dreamy heaven.....what a trip. Read some of the comments here. Viva le difference I guess. All I can say is, listening to your latest through my Dr Dre's and I'm loving the journey. Thanks Daniel. Good to hear you again :)

Beautiful.

Been listening since the early Silver Chair days. Awesome work as per usual. Love ya stuff Dan, love this song. Keep em coming :-D

Can anybody tell me what the hell he is singing after the line "I don't need an angel"?

THE WATERR OUT OF THE TAP IS VERRYYY

http://escutaessablog.wordpress.com/2015/05/22/daniel-johns-talk-2015/

Was never a huge Silverchair fan.....always thought Daniel Johns was a bit of a musical genius though and he is showing it here....great listening...

I just can't stop listening to this. Daniel your time away writing has been a gift in the end of a long wait of your return.
