Not the best quality (banding! fluorescent lighting! ugh!) and shaky at the beginning, but I needed to put this up as it's an utterly spellbinding cover of the song. She has played it every time I've seen her in Austin and I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to record this up close at an in-store performance.
Enjoy! Sorry again for the poor video quality, but the sound should be ok. I'm just glad to be able to come back to this again and again.
Daniel was a fantastic songwriter.
You don't need to apologize for the quality, because this was incredible. I actually just played this on KXLU, and like 50k people in LA heard it, because you captured it. Thank you for that.
Holy shit. Thanks so much!!
^my actual profile
I really love that so much
At least someone is doing the Lord’s work!
rip Daniel you kind soul
how can i like this more than once
never did i think i'd hear phoebe bridgers do a daniel johnston cover but man is this good
It stayed with me from when I saw her play this the first time at SXSW 2017 and again when she opened for Conor Oberst on his last tour. I was so fortunate to be able to finally capture this. Thanks for your thoughts!
I think Bridgers covering Johnston makes perfect sense. Musically and lyrically, she's his descendant. We agree about how good this is, though. 😊
"Trying to make sense out of scrambled eggs". Beautiful. He's using Beatles metaphor's for the word "Yesterday", or
saying "trying to make sense out of the past". Genius. This is the most beautiful version I've ever heard.
could you clarify what the metaphor is for me please? Beatles lover for life in need of your light and kindness ... thxsm
@@arthurderas Prior to the song "Yesterday" being finished, the lyric was "Scrambled Eggs". Mccartney/Lennon didnt have a lyric there yet, so they simply said "scrambled eggs"....Daniel knew this, I'm sure....
@@MaryLouLord1 Thank you, I wasn't seeing it as a metaphor for the past lol, but now I understand you.. thaenkz
@@arthurderas pretty sure that lady is wrong. he’s referring to his scrambled thoughts. the line just before mentions how he lost his mind in junior high. idk how she came to that conclusion, unless i’m misunderstanding what she’s saying lol the whole song is about his struggle with mental illness
connecting the dots
That made me tear up. Goodnight Daniel. Thank you Phoebe beautifully done.
I never knew who Phoebe was until i heard her do this cover. I always loved this song since i heard it over a decade ago. Daniel was so good at explaining the sadness and helplessness of depression. She does such a good job encapsulating that. You make me feel feelings Phoebe. I love this
Imo one of the top 10 songs ever written. Stunning performance
Goddamn this lady had a extremely beautiful soul,
one of her best covers.
Gosh. Danny thanks for planting the seeds that are these beautiful songs into the world
foms
Oh is that Phoebe Bridgers making more amazingly beautiful music again? Of course it is. Bloody hell, she's wonderful!
Nice cover of an under-appreciated gem.
When you really feel this song's lyrics, it hits hard.. really hard
Holy crap. Every time I hear someone do this to Daniels songs I need more
RIP Danny. This is one of the most beautiful, heartwrenching, honest song's ever written. And damn, Phoebe did a wonderful job here. Thanks for recording and posting. ("Not the best quality" in the description; funny, cause it's more fitting this way, Danny wouldn't mine, im sure.) :)
This is one of my favorite performances of all time. I come back to it time and again. Thank you for capturing it and posting it.
canadan0014, thank you, thank you, thank you. I think you're a whole lot of people's favorite person for posting this. You're certainly mine!
I've heard quite a bit of Daniel's work and love what I've heard so far. This song is new to me and has just had me in tears. A little to close to home for me. I'm off to listen to the original.
Thank you so much for recording and uploading this!! I’ve been thinking of her cover since the performance. I was beginning to think I would only be able to replay it in my mind, so I was so happy when I saw this vid pop up!
My feelings too! I was so fortunate to be there to get it.
A truly lovely and proper rendition. I can feel your love for his song....It's just wonderful
Heart wrenching. Love it so much
The universe made a Phoebe Bridgers. What more do you want?
I watch this at least once a month. Sometimes weekly.
Beautiful.
i was at this in-store as well, and i come back and watch this video all the time. thanks for capturing it!
Katie McNeil I’m so glad to hear that. Thank you for saying so!
Beautiful cover. I heard this when Danny and I were teenagers hanging out in his basement lair in WV. He was a wonderful friend to me. He used to say we have to escape the working class. He did and I'm still working.😊
omg I wish she would sing every Daniel Johnston song
This is absolutely gorgeous. I used to cover this song, and it's safe to say I have to stop covering it now. The superior version now exists, and there's no way I can match it.
inflago play on. Always play on.
Absolutely not!! Keep playing and spreading this song
rest in peace, sweet daniel
So calming
Amazing song, beautiful cover.
beautiful!!
God damn this song hurts so good
Thank you
Excellent!!👍
when i need to release and cry, i come here.
RIP Daniel, we love ya ❤
Gorgeous. ❤
I was there too!!! Randomly found this and was like why does that dress and set up look so familiar... lol nice. thanks for sharing
Ni apologies necessary. You’re doing the Lord’s work.
Wow!!
this is fucking incredible -- thank you!! rip
Brilliant
I fucking loved this
Vulnerable
I love that dress
❤️
offing myself to this cover no one has heard my cries for help since i was 11 years old
Try dropping your shutter speed to below 1/160 of a second. That's what I have to do with still photography... I assume video is about the same. LED lighting is similarly a pain in the arse.
E***** siempre que vea este video me acordaré de ti
what chords, and in what order? i'm a complete noob but ive almost got it.. help pls :)
this sounds so wistful
this song reminds me of Ketchum, ID and Chesapeake
So good! Does anyone know which model of Epiphone she is playing?
If anyone's interested I think it's an Epiphone Frontier FT-110! Possibly from the 60's or early 70's. Love the pick guard so much.
🥰
i am
Dude she is just
TRAGEDY
0:58 thought that was my cat
