Johnston, Daniel - I Live My Broken Dreams Lyrics
When I was out in San Marcos a year ago today
They probably would've put me in a home
But I threw all my belongings into a garbage bag
And out into the worldness I did roam
I see myself and I look really scattered
But I lived my broken dreams
The wildest summer that I ever knew
I had a flat tire down memory lane
But I came back after 5 months and a half
And now I'm just trying to explain
And now I'm here
And here I stand
I lived my broken dreams...

Johnston, Daniel I Live My Broken Dreams Comments
we love you Danny
Ternurita
wena, como olvidar cuando estuvo en Chile
in the song he sang here, he said "here i stand, with a sweet angel, holding my hand" , and in his song "Held the Hand" he says "I was on MTV, everybody was looking at me, Held the hand of the devil." And now I wonder if that "sweet angel" was Lucifer. Lucifer was a fallen angel, he does give fame, I believe what Daniel said was true in his documentary. He asked the devil for fame and the devil wanted Daniel to look crazy, even made him ill, so that people would believe it was all lies and never find out the truth for themselves. Many watching this will never know the truth
I think the angel was meant to be Laurie
Have you seen the movie? The devil and Daniel Johnston?
He's also famous for referencing his own songs in his other songs
@APOCALYPTO yeah, i know. He calls laurie an angel in "laurie". "Laurie, sweet, an angel dear"
ah I see, well to each their own I guess
Ummmmmm... fucking what????
I think I’ll make a cover of this song sitting in front of his Mural on Hi How Are you day.
Are you doing it?
deeps mered mess should I?
@Cole Johnstone yeah
deeps mered mess ok
deeps mered mess I just did & posted it
did he ever record this for an album? I feel like I've searched and never found it. Such a shame this is one of my favorite tunes he ever wrote.
Appreciate this upload. I had this clip forever on a VHS that I had recorded from Peter Zaremba’s Austin episode. It snapped and I haven’t seen it in 20 years. Thank you!
fukin genius
It's not about talent or tools, it's about story and authenticity
I will take him over Dylan
Reast in peace 🖤
R.I.P Daniel
I don't get all the hype is with his music it sounds pretty bad to me I mean his lyrics where good but thats about it.I think people like it because he's mentally and he stands out as a musician.
of course a big part of what makes him interesting is his life story. It's inspiring to see someone with so many hardships actually manage to make it (kinda) big, after making music for so long, with little to no recognition. But, he wouldn't have gotten big if he didn't make good music. Though he may not always be on beat, or key, he is an exceptional songwriter. His lyrics are fantastic, his hooks are catchy, and I'd go as far as saying he's the best at using minimalism the best. On his guitar songs, he often uses the same three or four chords, but the songs somehow don't sound too similar to eachother. His piano/organ songs are often a bit more complex, but they're not that advanced. It's the sort of thing where you know the song is fantastic if it sounds good in the recording quality, with the equipment, and in the unpolished nature it's presented in here.
He's the king of my castle
R.I.P Daniel
Rest in peace and power, Daniel Johnston.
It hurts so much knowing he's gone....:(
Daniel very rarely had happy moments. This is one of those rare moments. Thank god it was filmed.
Is this song on any of his albums?
What a title
He somehow reminds me of Dylan.
I really don’t understand his appeal, but he seems to have meant a lot to a lot of people. RIP
It's because listening to Daniel Johnston is like hearing your own broken childhood stand up and sing. It's beautifully heartbreaking.
My God we lost someone so special. RIP Daniel. Like Picasso, all the world will know your art and your name. Anyone who hasn't seen this, should...

no one actually likes this shit
Nah, we do
sounds like the violent femmes with no rhythm
So sad you are gone, Daniel, but thank you for blessing us with your genius, artistry, and authenticity.
He reminds me of the dude from the modern lovers
You lived your broken dreams, but true love found you in the end...
Rest in Peace Daniel
Rawness
I will miss you....
En paz descanse :(

IN A ALTERNATE REALITY DANIEL JOHNSTON REALLY MADE IT . IN OURS AT LEAST HES THE GREATEST UNDERGROUND SONGWRITER. THANKFULLY HE LEFT THE BEST LEGACY. THE MOST HONEST MUSIC EVER. THEY SHOULD RELEASE HIS MUSIC WITH PROCEEDS GOING TO *THE DANIEL JOHNSTON RESEARCH FOUNDATION FOR SCHIZOPHRENIA*
Rip daniel
This is dark.
I was only familiar with "True Love Will Find You In The End" through different artists covers before his passing. Then I found this and watched "The Devil and Daniel Johnson." F'king unbelievable life and talented songwriter. This song definitely hooked me though so I had to do my own cover: https://youtu.be/TX6Ng0tUjk8
Miss you bud
one of the best two minutes of songwriting you could ever hear... RIP
Raw talent
raw sewage
Just imagine yourself you know
A little lost, a little confident, a little anxious, thinking if it’s a good or bad idea, talking to yourself in a battle then going on stage to fight all those at the same time while retaining some chord structure and sing in front of people you don’t know and you barely know yourself but you know you love music and art
That was Daniel Johnston, such an inspirational human
We will miss you, Daniel
Rest in piece Danile Johnston. ( he passed away from a heart attack on Sep.11.2019)
Oh shit, liberty lunch. I got kicked out of there for stage diving 1994. RIP
Rest in peace, bro.
Absolute Legend.
I miss you, Daniel. I bawled when I found out. You dying young fucker.
i loved his honesty and thought he was a great songwriter but im not going to pretend he was a good performer lol
9/11 is Daniel Johnston day
Pure honesty captured on film.
justo cuando me recupero de la depresión conozco a esta joya escondida para mi
Discover him by accident today and now result that he died this week, rest in peace mate, I'll go deep in your story
Best song
RIP .
Forever missed

A true Inspiration, Thanks Daniel!
Pure courage. Compelled by his art.
RIP Daniel. You have been and will continue to be an inspiration.
Just was listening to this song before he died :( R.I.P
I think Daniel's brokenness just from him, it makes everything he did just different from anything else. It makes you feel. He certainly lived his broken dream. RIP.
Thank you ❤️
I miss you
*thank you very much for everything, Dan.*
It took trending on Twitter for me to ever hear about this guy. And yet, I've been listening to folks he influenced for years. It's a shame it took so long but I finally ARRIVED. Hello, to you Daniel. How are you?
He's dead!
@Heka Kain I think they know lol
Daniel Johnston, I send you all my adoration to you as your soul passes to the great beyond this realm- your songs have touch our souls and helped us through our own times with flat tires down memory lane. The world has lost a genius poet.
RIP DUDE 😢
RIP
We're all just getting through life the best we can.
RIP DJ. One of my favourite songs by him and it does not exist on any of his albums from my understanding.
RIP Daniel, good travel Man :(
Rest In Peace, Daniel.
Finally he can rest! Will miss you.
"The wildest summer that I ever knew
I had a flat tire down memory lane"
Thank you Daniel. RIP
Rest easy Daniel. Legends never truly die!
I am sorry that is awful
So fragile so brave. a diamond.
RIP Daniel. Your words and songs will live on forever.
i'm absolutely broken hearted. good bye friend. your music will always be in my heart.
some things last a long time...
Merci, Julien
Is it true that he killed himself with the pencil in the nostril trick?
