Johnston, Daniel - Lonely Song Lyrics
Well, you heard about the time
I climbed the Empire State Building
And you heard about the time
I was in the insane asylum
What I had to do
And what I went through
Just to bring you a lonely song
Well, I try to do what's right
Every day and every night
And when I think I've won the fight
The monster comes back again
And I bet you never knew
And what I had to do
Just to bring you a lonely song
If you listen very hard
You can hear the desperation of a sad and broken heart
My heart
Well, you heard about the time
But not all of it is true
And you've read the magazines
I've been wounded by folklore
But I bet you never knew
What I went through
And what I had to do
Just to bring you a lonely song
Well, I'll tell you right now
Just to set the record straight
I never meant no harm
Or to generate so much hate
But I bet you never knew
What I went through
And what I had to do
Just to bring you a lonely song

Johnston, Daniel Lonely Song Comments
Rip. Love this guy.
dat is mooi )))
People dont understand how much of an inspiration this man was
And still is :)
One time 'i kept playing daniel johnston songs in my car with a friend of mine. Eventually he asked if we could listen to something else and said "the thing is, daniel johnston is crazy, and i dont feel that way, im not crazy, so therefor i cant relate or understand it" and i evaluated our friendship at that point because he was such a typical "bro" of a friend who says bro a lot and tries to act as much like a frat boy as he can. God I can't stand people like that. Douche.
fuck that guy, man.
haha good point.
Neil young can play the guitar :D
Awesome SONG! aaaaaa lonnneeleeee song!
an insane and manicaly depressed Neil Young
This is the theme song for a very weird french movie called "Louis and Michel".
It sets the tone for the whole movie, so I had to track it down.
brilliant movie
And I had to look up "Louis and Michael" I figure it must be good since they used this song to set the thone in their movie.
I've never loved a musician and their music, or a story teller and their stories, as much as I love Daniel Johnston and his beautiful songs. Keep punching Joe, Daniel!
Oh my god this is great. The lyrics in the song could just apply to so many singers, or even celebrities and actors/actresses.
