Exactly how I feel about myself now as I will be turning 64 in 30 days as an INFP personality type. So many things I have dreamt of doing yet so few have I done while still holding onto a flame in my heart to find my one special love.
I enjoyed your performance recently in Salmon Arm at the Song Sparrow Hall. My son, almost 13 was being hard on himself so I played this song for him.... And he got the message and started to smile. Thanks for your amazing song writing and making a difference with your gift ❤
Danny Michel, Danny Angel, and Danny Devil walk into a forest. Danny Angel, peering over Danny Michel's shoulder whispers "Hey, you can write a cheerful tune, you know." Danny Devil, listening incredulously say "We write lots of happy tunes" Danny Angel smiles knowingly and says "Nevermind, man, we got this."
Danny I had the pleasure of seeing you and the wild man Steve Poltz testing this song out at the 2019 Calgary Folk Fest. As soon as I hear the chorus I picture him jumping frantically beside you swinging his head back and forth as he joined in on each refrain, "Don't be so hard on yourself!" It looked like you were having a good time. Whether you wanted to or not XD, "Don't be so hard on yourself!" I think I also once saw you singing some Reggea on a path leading up to "Wonder Mountain" at the presumptive Canada's Wonder Land. What a long time ago that was. I wonder how much we've changed? Anyways, It was nice to see you back-dropped again by some real mountains at the 2022 Canmore Folk Fest. Singing this song. And again with the Steve Poltz, "Don't be so hard on yourself!" And this video! I'm jealous. You've repeated your success. Taken a fairly static image and put your editing magic all over it. It's as captivating as the song's lyrics, "Don't be so hard on yourself!" You're song's are always so thoughtful and I find solstice in your lyrics. I wish you all possible success. No need to stand on guard you won't let your guard down writing honest lyrics like these. Now if I can only get this refrain out of my head, "Don't be so hard on yourself!"
Great song Danny!! ‘I had to laugh cause I wanted to cry’. Love it! That is my motto! Look at the video of that young Artful Dodger. Crazy how time flies.
Imagine all the narcissistic awful people who have hurt u justifying their wrong doings listening to this song💀 it’s okay to be hard on yourself when it leads to positive change.
Fantastic! Love all the old video clips from the vault! Big fan and looking forward to catching you in Burlington! Voted again now on CBC - what a great tune!
Love this infectious song with a great groove and some much needed lyrics! This was a great intro to your music, I shazamed you and adding you to my new playlist!
Love the song, and love the old concert footage! Seeing you and Rob back in the early days brings back memories... Even spotted Ryan 'Syd' Hovinga in the back there - fun times. The sentiment is so true - we're so hard on ourselves when we're young, when the reality is that it all seems to work out in the end.
Great song! Fun video. Love how you integrated the live audience into the chorus. I remember when Big Red was new and shiney - a lot of love put into that guitar!
I really like your message here, thanks for the encouragement! Looks like another complicated video shoot and edit, it turned out great. Such a fun watch.

Hear hear.
I always knew I'd be a back up singer for you!😁
Love it, Dan! Remember the parking enforcement officer who wouldn’t ticket the hearse because she was afraid of the bad vibes it might give her? 🤣
