I just finished watching the Danielson Movie. I’d heard about them for a while without really ever investigating them. So I watched the dvd and came out of it feeling quite inspired and eager to listen to their albums. I’m also impressed at their genuine faith and how open they are in sharing that through their art and with the people they meet. These are my kind of people.
One important figure in the documentary is none other than Sufjan Stevens, a close friend of the Danielson Famile, who filled in on practically all the band roles at some point throughout their touring. The documentary highlights how he eventually became a musical star. I’ve been a fan from the moment I heard him pluck at the banjo, so being able to see him interact with the rest of the band was absolutely great.
And so with all this inspiration I did 3 things. I updated my Goals page with a short list of people I’d like to meet, I purchased the Danielson Ships album, and I bought Sufjan’s Seven Swans album. Hooray for new music!
Here’s one of Danielson’s latest music videos, Did I Step On Your Trumpet?
oh the goodness of it all…i love Danielson and his squeaky shreaky voice,
i need to watch the movie, i have it on my netflix queue…i may have to bump it up after reading this.
i really liked the documentary. and imagine the fun surprise, when i had no idea sufjan was gonna be in it! good stuff…
That music video was great! I can’t wait to check out the film.
I saw that movie a couple months ago. I really like it. Honestly, I felt a little bad for Daniel, lol. But hey, he’s got an awesome thing going for himself. Their faith really is an amazing thing.
