(And that would be the piece that would tell us that we had entered into the last day.)
Jumpin' Jehovahs, the battlefield is clear!
Strange soldier that claimed he was a man at war.
He was of no army; he was fighting all alone;
And for no reason he was a man at war.
He was standing in his foxhole; he was always on the defensive;
When out of the smoke appeared an attractive figure.
A head popped out of that torso, and much to his surprise
He fell in love with its eyes.
She was fifteen, Vogue magazine,
What an odd place for her to be.
Standing on that battlefield by the man at war.
"Does she love me?", he screamed with bombs bursting in the air.
"Does she love me? Will she understand me?
I'm a man at war!"
He was ambushed and shot up his legs and arms and head.
Had to be amputated, he was rehabilitated;
He was a man at war.
And suddenly, and surprisingly,
Their roles had been reversed:
He was blessed and he was cursed;
He was a man at war.
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".
