Worth Listening To: Daniel Johnston - Held The Hand


Alright, frankly, this shit will make your heart stop.

A song from Daniel Johnston, the tortured Bipolar/Schizophrenic songwriter who rose to cult status in his early 20's, following his personal circulation of several cassette tapes in Austin, TX.

After taking LSD at a Butthole Surfers show, he became obsessed with The Devil, and the supernatural world.

He is the subject of the fantastic Documentary 'The Devil and Daniel Johnston', which I highly recommend you check out.



To quote a youtube comment (perhaps the only sane one on the entire site), "I think there's something in my eye".
