Daniel Johnston (born Daniel Dale Johnston in Sacramento, CA, on 22 January 1961; died in Waller, TX, on 10 September 2019) was an American singer-songwriter and visual artist regarded as a significant figure in outsider, lo-fi, and alternative music scenes. Most of his work consisted of cassettes recorded alone in his home, and his music was frequently cited for its "pure" and "childlike" qualities. His music has been acclaimed by many artists including David Bowie, Sonic Youth, and Simpsons creator Matt Groening.

DCG There was a day when I was so lonely DCG Time passed me by I was more dead than alive DCG Every minute was like an hour DCG Every day was an eternity DCG I looked for hope but all around me DCG People didn't seem to care
EG Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul EG That rock 'n' roll
DCG If I ever thought that I could be happy DCG Dreams like that always faded away DCG And all the girls already had boyfriends DCG I was alone as lonely could be DCG I laid asleep and turned on the radio DCG The music to me was like a dream
EG Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul EG That rock 'n' roll
DCG You walk around but you gotta have a reason DCG Something worth getting up in the morning for DCG My heart looked to art and I found the Beatles DCG Oh God I was and am a true disciple DCG Look for the fun you'll start a happy cycle DCG The music will make you come alive
EG Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul EG That rock 'n' roll
