Kunagi mulle väga meeldis see lugu.
Siis vahepeal ei tahtnud ma seda lugu üldse kuulata.
Kuidagi häiris ja liiga nukker oli.

Nüüd kõlab jälle maguskurvalt. Ja ilus on olla.

Daniel Johnston on jälle Dublinisse tulemas. Eelmise aasta suvel olin just filmi “The Devil and Daniel Johnston”. ära vaadanud, kui Ark ühel päeval ütles mulle, et Daniel on Dublinisse tulemas. Kontsert oli vägev. Ma vist nutsin ja naersin pooleks. See lihtsalt oli nii siiras värk. Oli nii kuradi ilus, kurb, hea ja lõbus.
Sel aastal kordame seda. Ainult, et esinemispaik Whelans pole just kõige parem koht, ma arvan.

Mõned videod eelmise aasta kontserdist.

Daniel Johnston at Vicar Street, Dublin 2007

If I had my own way
You’d be here with me today
But I rarely have my own way
I guess that’s why you’re not here with me today

And the librarian said
‘You can’t buy no respect’
I said, ‘Hey, lady, what can you expect
When I’m lying on the floor?’

Well your’re a lovely lady but you don’t wanna be
No girl of mine
Well the only thing you ever done for me
Was help me waste my time

And I saw you at the funeral
You were standing there like a temple
I said ‘Hi! How are you? Hello!’
And I pulled up a casket and crawled in

Yes, I did

Climbed up a Mountain and I looked around
Some kind of circus with all them clowns
I said hey wait a minute can’t we slow down a bit
And I almost got hit by a truck

Well it just goes to show you that we’re all on our own
Scrounging for our own share of good luck
Stab your brother in the back
And pick up your pay check

Good-bye lonely heart drawings
You never did work anyhow
I’m looking for a nice girl
And I don’t want no cow

I’m heading out West
Gonna find me the best
Well, I played the game but I failed the test
If I can’t be a lover then I’ll be a pest

Yes, I will

Daniel Johnston, Vicar Street, Dublin 2007

True love will find you in the end
You’ll find out just who was your friend
Don’t be sad, I know you will,
But don’t give up until
True love finds you in the end.

This is a promise with a catch
Only if you’re looking will it find you
‘Cause true love is searching too
But how can it recognize you
Unless you step out into the light?
But don’t give up until
True love finds you in the end.

Mulle tegelikult meeldib see, kuidas iirlased värve kasutavad. Ikka erksad värvid ja paksu kihiga. Kas vana värvi võtavad maha? Muidugi mitte.
