Daniel Johnston - Walking The Cow Lyrics

I'm not sure what it is, but there certainly is something i like in this song. It's so calming.

Miss you so much, Daniel. You sinsojte me every day.

Wall king the cow...meaning the cow won't be leaving anytime soon..but it'll be used for food n milk. Just like how we are used.

I think Avalanches was inspired by this song to create Because I'm

I never knew that this Daniel guy...was the guy behind what what I always thought was one of Kurt Cobain's best shirts. My respect for both guys just increased by +3 points. Pop culture be damned...now I'm gonna look into this guy's music more, he seems like he was a lovely fellow. RIP.

Its okay it's time ven tho i don't want you to go you have to Danile you hepled me with so much danile and you were there when i needed you and,so much happy memories we miss you danile it's time for you to rest in peace 😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭

True love will find you in the end
When am walking down i feel lonely don't be sad beacause your one step closer to the girl your going to meet
We drink moution due we drink moution due we got nothing better todo then drink moution due
Rip danile you'll be missed

I would like to use this song in a short tribute to Daniel Johnston video. He gave me one of these tapes in 83 in Austin on the Drag and I listened to it for 10 years until it broke. I now make short painting videos and painted one in tribute to Daniel and would like to use this song in the background.

I really dont know how I came here......

The snow plow show brought me here.

Trying to remember
But my feelings can't know for sure
Try to reach out
But it's gone

Lucky stars in your eyes
I am walking the cow

I really don't know how I came here
I really don't know why I'm staying here
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am walking the cow

Tried to point my finger
But the wind keeps blowin' me around
In circles, circles

Lucky stars in your eyes
I am walking the cow

I really don't know what I have to fear
I really don't know why I have to care
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am walking the cow

Lucky stars

HI, anyone else out and about walking their cow today?
Anyone?
🐮🚶

The only thing I dislike about Daniel is that I'll never be as talented as this wonderful human being who deserved more than he was given

hot garbage

H I, H OW A R E U

Someday we will all be gone. Something terrible waits for us all. Here is to remembering everyone 🥃

Rest in peace, Daniel. Now you don't have to walk the cow anymore

Brilliant

I can’t stop listening.
your truths are mine.
Ciao daniel vibrerai sempre nelle anime.
Che la terra ti sia lieve.

the father of lo-fi

Anybody know where I can find interviews or any data related to the meaning of Daniel Johnston's songs?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCbca_QFsHM (A video of him talkin about some events like getting arrested and i remember he mentions the meaning of Walking the cow)

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2hv6zm (The devil and daniel jhonston, a movie about him that helps you understand many things about his music)

If you listen with the right kind of ears you can still hear his heart beating through this song.

JEREMIAH THE INNOCENT fly high Daniel

Lengeds Never Die, Man

Early modest mouse was really inspired by this it's so clear

lol just because they both sound like lispy children doesn't mean modest mouse listened to daniel johnston xD

@Jayo Caine listen to blue cadet do you read. Its pretty obvious. And the acoustic stuff from modest mouse

He reminded me so much of myself. I don’t have mental illness but people always look at us artists different. Maybe at the end of the day we’re more normal than them. Idk. We’re misunderstood though, that’s for sure. RIP Daniel

anybody knows a synth that sounds like daniel's unsing?

did danimel see me walking with my WIFE and write the song about ME? lol

as beautiful as any

Try this cover: A Camp - Walking the Cow

me encanta el sonido!

Increíble

Beautiful!

R.I.P. Daniel Johnston. Thank you for your beautiful music👍

Hey guys, check out my cover of this song at my channel ^^- just finished it up recently. Let his music live on!

Esta hermosa canción me aleja de esos hijueputas que ponen Anuel y Bad bunny

Only Daniel Johnston fans get it. We lost a good one

This is it! This is what music is about! You really found something Daniel that people spend their whole lives trying to find...It's amazing and so emotionally valuable that I just want to thank you for being an amazing artist!!! We'll all make sure you're not forgotten!!!!

this is such a sublimely sweet song . it reminds me of happy blue birds singing the song of life. RIP DJ

Gracias por levantarme el ánimo, fuiste el mejor artista para mí. :)

rest in peace daniel

I'm not used to that drawing, or this song, making me feel sad.

Right there with you, bud. My yoke is heavy.

Thank you for the beautiful and true art you shared with the world <3 Your music warms my heart and many others' too, and that's really special. Rest in peace, the world will always miss you.

😞❤️

Here to pay my respects 🌹⚘⚘

u deserve rest. my favorite song is Hard Time , the live version.

I heard this for the first time on KBOO in the middle of the night 28 years ago
I'm so very envious

This reminds me of my best friend who had committed suicide due to aggressive schizophrenia some years back. The whole accepting of the inevitability of an individual’s situation theme really gets me, as it reminds of someone who was truly heartbroken.

I’m so sorry

ASMR Anonymous thank you much appreciated

Just found him the same time heaven did. A welcomed find indeed. RIP Mr. Johnston

rip damiel.... ripe....

Fuck. Sudden news. Rest in peace, man.

Daniel Johnson could craft a melody and write lyrics with the best of them...His songs are probably some of most honest , true to the heart, funny, sad songs that I have ever heard....He easily had more talent than 99.99% all of the other singer/songwriters out there...Perfect he was not, But the talent always found a way to come through....

I remember went I was 5 years old, I used to wake up so early, and go with my father to make the job with the cows. It was magic, like this song

This music sucks.

Rip to this man but lets be real here. This music is fucking trash.

True love did find you. We love you, Daniel.

I am walking the cow...Vision: daniel johnston and a cow trailing along with him on a leash into a beautiful sunset...fade to black

FUCKING R.I.P

I'm not overly emotional, but I just found out Daniel passed and I'm in tears. His wonderful and heartfelt music pulled me through depression...I will miss him dearly. R.I.P. brother and thank you.

I meet this artist the same day that he died, idk what feel ‽

This song makes me cry even more now. RIP

thanks daniel

Thanks for everything.

R.I.P. Daniel Johnston 🎶💔🎶... we were more alike than you'll ever know! 😢

Rest in peace Daniel.

So so sad.
Gutted when he had to cancel Green man festival couple of years back but totally sensitive to why he had to.
Rest in peace. Leave your demons here.

Hadn't listened to Daniel in the longest time, I came back after learning he died the day after me and my girlfriend of 2 years broke up. I still want to try to get her back. This song reappeared in my life when I needed it the most. Thank you Daniel Johnston, keep walking that cow and I'll try and walk mine.

become scarce do not contact her let it happen naturally in the meantime keep busy and improve yourself

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you and goodbye, Daniel Johnston.

This song is deeply associated with the darkest days of my life.
Hope you are in better place now. thank you for being there for us.

rest in peace 😥

Just found his music now. It's all pretty impressive, especially because he recorded everything by himself

everything is going to be again. four years later.

Daniel said he once looked at a package with an illustration of a girl struggling to walk a cow, and that inspired the feeling for this track. Rest in peace Daniel.

although i can never say i really like his music, its undeniable how influential Daniel has been to all the music I listen too. Rest in Piece my dude

rip friend

A massive influence on me and music in general! Rest in peace warrior!

he should have taken singing lessons.

Walking the cow in a peaceful place now. Love you always.

Repose en paix Daniel, ta musique m'accompagnera toujours

Call me ignorant but I prefer the firehose version

Im so selfish I can't accept the idea you're gone.
My old and good friend, hope you have a nice trip to the wild side, where your angels and demons could finally rest in their hometowns meanwhile your body is finally sleeping in peace, where the sound of the silence will become in your favorite song my poor and tired friend.
You deserve more that you had in this empty world. Just on time to go for it and claim your prize lovely and confused mate.
I'll be here singing one by one your songs and loving one by one your drawings.
Thank you for this amazing trip floating around your infinite talent, you made me happy and I hope you're with your true love at this sad end.
My love is with you and my eternal hug as well.

😭😭😭

I don’t know why but This song scares the shit out of me, it should be in a horror movie

R.I.P. my man.

Daniel, know your music helped shape my moods and emotions as a man. I love you brother. F

As fine a songwriter as there ever was. Thank you Daniel for you. RIP
