Like almost all the music of Daniel Johnston (whose first album in six years, Is And Always Was, came out last week), it's so much more massive than the sum of its parts—just this man and his springy guitar and wavery, unsteady voice. But the words are so reassuring, so deeply comforting, promising us something that we all really want to be true, that it's really hard not to love it.

Pitchfork Fest '08 Day Three: Lights & Music
