Daniel Johnston - Walking The Cow free for downloading

"walking the cow" it's a song about dealing with a situation that overwhelms you and yet, leaves you with no ways out, instead of crying over the spilled milk, you just walk the cow, or in other words, assume the inevitability of your situation

I hope true love found him in the end

"really don't know why I came here really don't know why I'm staying here oh oh uh oh oh I am walking the cow" that was litty and the lucky stars line. Great song writing

there is something really special about this. i hope he was happy in the end.

If you ever find yourself in Austin, go to the wall with this cover on in and eat at the Thai how are you restaurant

i wish more people would at least try to make an innitiative to create good home made music like this

A dream I had about a cow last night brought me here.

kids toy sounds followed by haunting chords from the nostalgic innocent sound of a chord organ - and then combined with tortured lyrics of responsability, confusion and fear from a childlike and nonintrusive, nonegoistic voice - all in that emotionally engaging lo-fi quality recording - its fucking sublime.

I'm not used to that drawing, or this song, making me feel sad.

Rip brother. This song saved my life and I will always appreciate that. Soar high

First heard this song when I was 12 years old, and immediately felt a connection to it. We were dirt poor growing up, but no matter how bad things got, I would listen to this song and feel sad but optimistic at the same time. I think it also spoke to me bc I was at that age where you still have your innocence, but know shits about to change forever in life bc you're starting to grow up. Now every now and then when times get tough, I listen to this song and think of that optimistic 12 year old kid, and can't help but ger a little choked up.

okay, people, im tired of hearing about how "teenage girls only know Daniel because of Kurt Cobain's shirt..." just shut it, listen to the music, and be glad it even exists

Your mind is finally at peace now Daniel, thank you for the music.

I come back every September, when the cold rainy nights begin in my country.

everything is going to be okay

we're all walking the cow
