Johnston, Daniel - Hate Song Lyrics

And it won’t be nice...you’ll be all alone. Always had a soft spot for Daniel, and I love this song including little dialogue part of the end. RIP

You'll never be forgotten dude, thank you for everything you've done. The mood will hit you, and you'll be a baby again. <3

this guys a punk. but more importantly a traitor. somebody who lies and makes people sick.

Wdym???

bitch fuck you

Strange I would click on this as I wait by the phone!

am i the only person who actaully believes he has a great voice for music? i freaking love people who do music with voices like daniels , joe jack talcums , etc..

His voice used to be endearing but unfortunately it's withered as he grew older.

Ayethere M8 I believe that his voice didn’t actually sound like how it did in most of his songs, but was altered by the equipment he used. Either way, it was and still is very unusual and satisfying to hear.

What true talent

This is the last place I thought we would meet.

I understand

This is such a perfect song.

thats rough man. but i can relate

First Daniel Johnston song I heard and it's still my favorite.

Hey people i love daniel johnston i mean i love daniel johnston when i found his music it changed my life and i was already halfass kinda trying to record shit in my room but he gave me a kick start. if ya wanna come check my songs out. hey, daniel johnston trolled his way onto MTV why can't i do it on the youtube comments?

he changed my life too. The reason why I started making music

I have never heard anything like this.

what is to be made up for?

the outro gives me chills

That was amazing.

@itsmetyler maybe that chick from the glass eyes...

I'm no one, so at least you'll have me left. daniel is kinda easily hurt but his art more than makes up for it that's for sure...

jesus christ this is powerful

this song makes me want to slit my wrist in a warm bath tub but in a good way.

love.. uaaaaahhh- What´s wrong with me?!

i dont know why this is one of his less known songs. it's a masterpiece, i don't even identify with the song and i still think it's awesome

@MGFenton i respect your opinion and i can see what you're saying but i love the images he creates when i listen to him. i would definitely consider him a fantastic song writer and i personally don't see how anyone can see otherwise, but if you can't look past his unrefined vocals then i can see why you wouldn't be a fan

@MGFenton i respect your opinion and i can see what you're saying but i love the images he creates when i listen to him

@MaxJNorman umm yah it is.. so if i get on stage and cant play or sing but cry outta of tune with emotion im a musical genius.

@MGFenton music isn't about how well you play, it's about conveying emotion. he's very good at that no matter what anyone thinks of his playing ability

Naa I agree, I've seen the documentary and he can't play for shit, he's got heart but no talent. People see Kurt Cobain wear his t shirt and now he's a musical genius.

@Wolfboycase
Hey Case Epic right?

@RoughshodElm Exactly...I can't say he's best at anything. What category do you speak of?

@vlasvlasvlas He is good but not the best....

@TheEthanhausler Songs of Pain, i believe

it's so fucking beautiful it makes me wanna cry

Holy shit. I just discovered this guy because of Kurt's T-shirt.
This is fuckin holy shit i love this.

@TheEthanhausler Songs Of Pain

oh man. i remember i had these lyrics written on my notebook in high school. oh teenage angst.

@anjablonja i dont, but i would fight next to him in battle

is there another name for this song cause i cant find it on itunes

if youve ever been broke and you write songs,you know how difficult it is to get a decent recording.especially,when most people only consider the recordings with the most expensive price tags to be good.add not hearing what your recording as youre recording;doing it in one take and accepting it as is and being mentally ill....make these considerations and he is impressive.....he recorded 30 lps with no budget,while fighting the demons.

so he wrote all of his famous albums before he got a record label and became famous?

It's called grind and hustle

=( =(

I think this might be my favorite song by him.

End: It sounds like something he taped of t.v.

yeah i later figured it was something along those lines.

That's not Daniel at the end. It sounds more like one of his college buddies and a girl friend of his. Dan did a lot of acting with his friends on his old cassettes, of which you can listen to from his Cassette Tape Dialogues.

i don't understand what you mean about it being scattered. I'm sorry I'm not trying to put you down but how is it scattered? it's a song about being alone. I think it's rather to the point. I do think, however, some of his music does seem a bit incomplete but (not to sound snobbish) I'm kind of a singer/songwriter (Joel West on myspace.lol) myself and I can say from experience it's kind of good practice to just strum out every idea you have and sift through it all later for what you really like.

yeah, unfortunately it seems it takes watching the film for most people to get into him. which kind of sucks.. but the listener should be able to understand the intent of daniel, and patch the gaps together. personally, i enjoy the gaps and hisses, but i can also hear where he wanted it to go. listening to him is fun if you can hear the sections that simply aren't there.. but meant to be

Also never heard of such rumors... You might have imagined it

i dont know if that was an ill toned joke or sarcasm, or serious, but i have heard none such rumors

he is great but what about the rumors of pedophile behaivour...

wonderful text, its existential in a very simple way, very direct as johnston as his best.

Go for it

=) =)
