Johnston, Daniel - Life In Vain Lyrics
Don't wanna be free of hope
And I'm at the end of my rope
It's so tough just to be alive
When I feel like the living dead
I'm living my life in vain
And where am I going to?
I gotta really try
Try so hard to get by
And where am I going to?
I don't know where is up or down
And there ain't any love left around
Everybody wearin' a frown
Waiting for Santa to come to town
You're giving it up so plain
You're living your lives in vain
And where are you going to?
You gotta really try
Try so hard to get by
And where are you going to?
Flip on your TV
And try to make sense out of that
If we were all in the movies
Maybe we wouldn't be so bored
We're giving it up so plain
We're living our lives in vain
And where are we going to?
We gotta really try
Try so hard to get by
And where are we going to?
Goodbye...
Goodbye...

Johnston, Daniel Life In Vain Comments
Achingly Beautiful.
He was so nervous :(
Who cried honestly ? Cause i did🙏
100 percent honest. I just cried while watching this for some crazy reason.
Beautiful.
i cant get this song out of my head, specially the chorus..
Is that Andrew Bird?
this made me cry
I'm just happy for him. Daniel we miss ya.
Amazing!
A tortured genius.
Rest in peace.
Me da tanta emoción cuando todos cantan juntos y.y💕
Me da tanta emoción cuando todos cantan juntos y.y💕
You gotta really try, try so hard not to cry
Daniel managed to transform everyone he was around, for a while anyway. It's incredible to see how nice everyone is when he's there. A special guy
miss him being alive so much, the world needs more honest people. rest easy, DJ
Love this song... reminds me of many things. RIP the truest artist
We didn't deserved daniel
At all 😢🙏
Bye Danny! We'll miss you!!
Only he knows where we're going to. Like so many others, I've only just discovered Daniel after his death, thank you for the music man, you'll be sorely missed x
Goodbye ! 💔😘
This got me thinking about Sam Baker, whose own music is so informed by the Peruvian train bombing he barely survived in the 80s. I don't think anyone patronizes Sam Baker for returning to that experience in his music, and it also seems like Sam has a pretty good idea how much his music means to people. I'm not sure Daniel Johnston ever fully grasped how much he meant to so many folks, due to the terrible stigma associated with mental illness. Which totally sucks.
RIP
I Love You Dan
Rest peacefully Daniel 💔
Como que se me hizo un nudo en la garganta...
Goodbye Daniel...
Missing Daniel.
The first time I ever got chills from listening to music was when I listened to this song today.
Rest in peace, Daniel.
r i p thank u for the songs
Los maltratos a los niños dejan daños irreversibles, cada vago, loco, asocial, poco funcional que conocemos, morirá sufriendo a causa de su poca o nula adaptación.
Farewell, Daniel.
I think I've watched this vid at least 7 times today. It's dusty in here.
Good-bye, old friend. (I just found out that 4 days ago he left this earth.) You helped me through some tough times, because you could so clearly express the pain and frustration of living.
Obviamente era la última vez que venía a la tierra, gracias por todo Daniel.
Ugh Hansard is such a wankbaton
Thank you, Daniel. Rest in peace.
His music has so much truth in it, it hurts. Great artist.....
RIP Daniel. Your lyrics rang true for so "many" people. On the surface, that would seem sad but... there is solace when knowing you're not alone when traveling on a muddy road "many" call life.
Rest in peace daniel. An artist. I have never not been moved by his songs and his art.
ITS GLEN NOT GEN ....
Holy fuck this was powerful and beautiful, with a tear in my eye I say thank you Daniel and Glenn two amazing humans
Never heard of Daniel Johnson before. Came here to see. What a fucking tune.
I've literally been brought to tears.
Love and light
R.I.P.
I’m not crying, just a great music in my eye
Tear jerker
Rest In Peace, Sir. ❤️
Goodbye and thank you Daniel! You were too pure for this cruel world! We'll miss you!
Rest in peace, you live on!
Rip D.J Legend, thanks you for all <3
Alright, this one made me fucking cry. Later Daniel. Peace.
R.I.P. 😢

Lindo Daniel✨🖤 QPD
Daniel Johnston por siempre en nuestros corazones
He looks so nervous, shaking while he sings.
If he truly knew how gifted, magnificent deeply inspirational he was, well ...
Is the side effects of his medicine
Thank you, Daniel, just one question: Where am I going to?
Goodbye Dan...❤️
RIP Daniel
Goodbye Daniel.
Goodbye Daniel, thank you
Such sad and totally unexpected news. I had to wipe my eyes whilst watching this video. Free at last, Daniel, you’re free at last.
Daniel certainly did not live his life in vain. Rest in power, gentle one.
This is beautiful
I can't stop watching this
adiós artista...
He said “Goodbye”, left the stage and now we have to sing his songs by our own.
That's how he ends the song in his original recording. I think that was the plan all along.
@Randall Hill 💕💕💕😢🖐️💕
Nope, we can actually listen to the recordings he left. You don't actually have to memorize the songs.
RIP sweet angel... :’(
Rest in Peace you beautiful soul...thank you for doing what you did for us while you were here.
🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Doesn’t get more beautiful than this. Balling. Dont care. RIP
Same. 😕
RIP Dan. This is a rough one.
Rest in peace!
We'll miss you, Daniel!
Rest in peace Daniel ! 💕
i just cant believe it
Desde México te vamos a recordar. Gracias por dejarnos tu mayor regalo tu música y tus letras!
Right now, my heart aches. My eyes cry. Your music had a deep impact on my life, Daniel. I would even go so far as to say that your talent saved my life at one point. Your sounds, words and drawings always brought me joy. And tears. Your art made me feel alive. And for that very reason, from the bottom of my heavy heart, I want to thank you. Rest in peace, dear artist. I will truly miss you.
He's not gone forever 💗
buen viaje amigo , gracias por todo .............😞
RIP-QEPD Big Dani!
Daniel Johnston RIP...
Goodbye, thank you, goodnight! RIP Daniel
Came here to cry
I'm going to see Glen Hansard on Friday in Austin. Hope he plays some Daniel Johnston.
Did he? Don't leave us hanging!
Even before the death of Johnston, Hansard played Devil Town on tour!
Did he play any more songs in Austin?
RIP Daniel... Thanks for the music
Rest in peace, Daniel Johnston. Your life was not in vain.
Incredible.
