Daniel Johnston - Despair Came Knocking Lyrics
Despair came knocking at my door
And I let her in for a while
She sat on the couch and began smoking
She said nothing
I began to feel tired
And all of the sudden
The room seemed dingy and dirty
Despair came knocking
And I let her in for awhile

Masterpiece
This is my favorite song... sadly found him after his passing but you can feel the emotion through this convey of guitar and the way he explains things I suffer from mental illness myself .... rip my friend.

Rest in peace, Daniel. I hope despair won't come knocking on your door anymore.

I feel as if despair has come knocking at my door....and death has been in my mind lately.
Sometimes, the pain in my life and reality’s dream to crush us can be too overwhelming for me to live with.
So many mistakes, so many events, and so many regrets.
I’m so alone.
Yo can anyone make this into a piano form like how A$ap Rocky did.
Diy or die
looking through the comments crazy or a genius? …….. my opinion absolute Genuis clearly with severe elated depression! watch the devil and Daniel johsnton good watch!
This song makes me feel pleasantly strange.
Charles haycock brought me here
Zackary Edwards lets go tiny lil bowl crew
Is that a Chinese instrument?
its a guitar
God was Depressed, did you know that?
God has killed himself and left us behind
despair came knocking
at my door
and I let her in
for a while
she sat on the couch
and began smoking
she said nothing
suddenly i felt tired
i began to feel tired
and all of the sudden
the room seemed dingy and dirty
despair came knocking
and i let her in
for a while
Jesus Christ
I love that it goes to black after he says, "I began to feel tired"
Asap Rocky brought me here!!!
Cornelius Pildershmidt haha bro just came here from your comment :D but this song is truly amazing
What's the connection?
@ben kee Sorry it took long but its in A$AP Mob - Money Man / Put That On My Set.
@Wheel Code No worries dude I dig it, thanks!
i think i am going to kill myself
did it change?
it feels weird
look man i am so sorry you feel this way and i've been to the dark place that you find yourself in and no matter how hard it may seem you have to find the fight within you because only you know how much you have survived so please carry on
If daniel pulled through then you should too
This my jam fam
mothbits this is my favourite comment
Very rarely do we get to hear such a raw, unadulterated, true listening experience of what it is like to suffer from a certain mental illness. As a person who also suffers from severe clinical depression and mild anxiety, this is almost exactly what it feels like inside my head sometimes. Thank you, Danny- your music has helped me SO much since high school! :-)
scariest fucking song i've ever listened to. this is terrifying.
imagine daniels despair
I love you Daniel Johnston
Where can I find the A$AP remixed featured in the intro of "money man" by asap rocky music video
what do you mean? you want that person talking over him?
Dedicated to the memory of my dear friend & fellow Daniel fan, Andrew Justin Shepherd who committed suicide last June. RIP my friend. I love & miss you.
💚💚💚;;;
Now Daniel has passed away and you have Prince as your avi. Not many legends left now
This might be the darkest song I've ever heard.
Ebinim90 it’s a pretty sad song but I don’t think it’s the darkest.
Asap rocky- money man. Watch it
Despair O beautiful despair how are you? I'm fine now that you let me in for awhile. I missed you Daniel I am not myself without you. Well despair maybe I am also not myself without you. Without you despair I forget how to be true, I will be true to you and let you in again for awhile. Thank you for your despair Daniel it makes me.
Powerful track...
took me months to find this song again from a Reddit post, truly saddening song. Great Work
I consider this the perfect song.
Hello,i am a singer songwriter and i just posted my first video here on youtube and have had very little veiws. It is titled Tinged Euphoria. Please look it up.I would love it if more people could see it and tell me what they think. Thank you!
+Tiffany Huling only if you check out Debris of Titan ;D
Okay, yeah I'll check it out!
Huh. A Jandek takeoff. That's something you don't see every day.
bjwwilcera Jandek? How?
you mean it's a jandek ripoff?
One of DJ's most eerie songs, as far as I know.
Daniel johnston is my hero and number one influence if anyone wants to come to my channel and here inspired songs please do though ill never compare to this genius
Check my channel out Brandon, I started uploading some songs, let me know what you think.
@Phil Paul hey man i clicked your profile it lead me to google plus and i cant seem to find how to get to your videos. i'd love to hear em. can you link me to a song?
I want to listen to this on a loop.
I can't fap to this.
@Edward Krolop You're just not trying hard to enough. Finished twice before the vocals even came in.
+Edward Krolop HAVE A SAD CUM BB
Edward Krolop have you tried placing your fingers in your rectum? I find that helps. 😂
I'll give it a whirl XD
Edward Krolop this is the worst meme of all time
I played this over and over and over last night, remembering a friend on his death anniversary.. despair sure did come knocking last night
reading this gave me goose bumps
THE BEST.
Depression really is different from sadness -- I think Johnston captures the mood perfectly here. So eery, empty, even creepy; I can unfortunately relate to this.
retro sound
retro? dude its just old
You're crazy.
He wasnt depressed he was crazy
I hope you have changed your mind in these four years
Why not both?
@MrGrevy Why'd that get you so mad?
I always listen to daniel when im sad it makes me feel way worse
If you don't know what having depression feels like, this is it.
sounds like crucifucks..... really....
greatest man ever
@proficee : Jim Carrey is bipolar, did you know that?
I like his early organ music.
Cassette
utter genius
@proficee also Richard Dreyfuss, and probably many others :D
@TheEthanhausler Hey I forgot my account password so I cant reply on the old one but its from "Hi, How are you?"
is a good song
Thanks for the upload! YouTube is the best.
Definitely one of my favorites too. And "Dead Man's Twisted Heart."
he could do a song with cocorosie, that with be craaaaaaaaaazy
he sounds like a 12 year old boy lol
I love Daniel's music, because much like myself this is someone who lives in darkness in shadows in caves other dementions, and most especially in a Fantasy getting some reallll emotions and thoughts brutally performed for us all to hear and it is truely and insperation to all of us walking around wearing masks because we are to afraid to be ourselves and express our real feelings and emotions.
@ChrisPC123 i know many bi polars that lead awesome sucessful lives so if your stressing dont worry just be yourself and you can do what you want to. Stephen fry is bi polar and look where he has got to
love this song, thankz for postin
When I was diagnosed with bipolar a couple of weeks I was glad that he had it too. he makes me feel good about my self. Love this stuff
An unbelievably rare instance in which a depressive can express what it feels like to have depression. Heavy stuff.
Only Daniel Johnston, man.
no worries, glad you like it
Last summer, my neighbor showed me a CD of Daniel Johnston's early recordings, and I distinctly remember sitting in his apartment listening to this song. THank you so much posting this song. I love it.
