Well, you heard about the time
I climbed the Empire State Building
And you heard about the time
I was in the insane asylum
But I bet you never knew
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
What I went through
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
Daniel Dale Johnston (22 gennaio 1965 – 2 settembre 2019) è stato un cantautore e pittore statunitense, considerato una figura iconica del folk rock alternativo. Nato a Sacramento, in California, Johnston ha trascorso gran parte della sua vita a Houston, in Texas. La sua musica, caratterizzata da melodie semplici ma memorabili e testi introspettivi che esplorano temi di amore, perdita, isolamento e fede, ha conquistato un seguito di appassionati nel corso degli anni. Johnston ha combattuto per tutta la vita contro disturbi mentali, che hanno influenzato profondamente la sua musica e la sua vita personale. Nonostante le difficoltà, è riuscito a produrre una vasta quantità di materiale musicale, registrando centinaia di canzoni in cassette audio e pubblicando diversi album indipendenti. La sua musica ha ispirato generazioni di artisti e continua ad essere apprezzata per la sua autenticità e sincerità. Alcuni dei suoi brani più famosi includono "True Love Will Find You In The End", "Some Things Happen" e "Help Me." Il suo lavoro è stato oggetto di numerosi documentari, tra cui il pluripremiato "The Devil and Daniel Johnston".
