Fun fact: he wrote this song shortly after teaching himself how to play the piano. This is the level of genius at work here. AFAIK he’s a guitarist first, but decided he wanted to write a record on piano (Diorama), so he got a piano and taught himself how to play it.
Daniel Johns, the Australian Paul McCartney, from the band Silverchair, The Australian Beatles, what a brilliant way to be introduced to Silverchair and Daniel Johns.
as he got older he has showed off a lot more chops but he is very tasteful with it and he has an absurd falsetto. This era was when his voice took a huge jump forward. more people need to react to him especially later era Silverchair and his solo stuff. such a phenomenal talent.
I’ve been with Dan throughout pretty much all of his career. He is a musical genius, no one has touched my soul with music like he has. 💜💜💜 You NEED to hear Tuna In The Brine.
After my dad died in hospital I was driving back home and silverchairs song the greatest view came on the radio.... for those who don't know the lyrics , it says.....I'm watching you watch over me and I've got the greatest view.......such a sad night but that song and the timing put a big smile on my face 😊 Daniel Johns and silverchair have some great song....
Daniel is musical genius 🙌 The band members were only 15 when they recorded their first album Frogstomp...very grunge / rock sound. But over the years the band continued to grow & reach new heights...I believe all 4 Silverchair albums went straight to number 1...with each album different from the previous. Daniel's side projects were also Stella...love the one with Paul Mac. But like most geniuses Daniel struggles with his own demons. Fingers crossed that he continues to feed his talent & keep the worlds expectations at bay 🙏
Yep, only his first solo album "Talk" didn't reach #1 in the charts in 2015 but his last album "FutureNever" reached the 1st position in the ARIA charts last month
I’m so glad you’ve finally been introduced to the genius that is Daniel Johns. He also has a lot of hard rock songs and has an awesome rock voice and is a great guitar player. He apparently is his own harshest critic and makes a song, plays it to a select group who thinks it’s amazing, before destroying it because he thinks it wasn’t good enough. Check out his cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit. Also ‘Ana’s Song’ which is about his fight with anorexia that shows his guitar playing and belting hard rock voice. The best version is from BDO 2002. I think you’ll be in love with his voice.
Daniel is the lead signer of Silverchair who were HUGE in the 90s. They went world wide, preformed at MTV music awards and more. They were dubbed " baby Nirvana" as they were 16 years old when they got really big. They were very much grunge/ Seattle Sound but mellowed and become very artistic as they got older.
My favourite Silverchair song . Daniel Johns songwriting is so honest and from the heart , because he has been through so much , the pressure that comes with being a teenage star , anorexia , crippling arthritis and depression . Daniel Johns is underrated musical Genius . Nick there’s massive rabbit hole with Silverchair songs and Daniel’s other projects .
Hell yeah, do israels son, freak, spawn again, pure massacre, emotion sickness, one way mule, satin sheets, many many more to look into aswell. I'll look forward to it.
@@katherineschmidt2075 yeah but he was a 14 year old baby when he wrote those songs and he hadn’t found his voice yet. He’s improved light years ahead of those songs.
Dan’s new album “FutureNever” is out everywhere at midnight tonight! Aussie’s have already had the privilege of hearing it, but the whole album is sure to be reaction-worthy. Daniel Johns is a freaking genius, a fan since the 90s for sure. And the new version he released if “After All These Years” for anyone who placed a pre-order. His voice is my favorite, and he’s just so dang talented. Ahhhh, Dan, we love you!!
I’m so happy to see this and thankful to the person who requested it. People aren’t lying when they say he’s a genius. He truly is. He’s the type who “hears” the color purple or “sees” what apple tastes like. A rare breed who literally lives for music and isn’t afraid to experiment. You would never think this same guy wrote heavy ass grunge songs and sang the shit out them in the 90’s at just 14 years old. His story is amazing and his music is even better, especially his new album FutureNever
Love this off the Diorama album. "After All These Years" Breathe in the night that crushed a tired sunrise Born again, the day brings young naivety A laptop souvenir is worth the weight in silver and gold And son, you'll be home again and I'll be whole again Mend in my sleep, I'm boxing under water Waddle on the wake Waking on a summer day A summer day And after all these years forget about all the troubled times And after all these years forget about all the troubled times And every father's pain casts a shadow over a broken son You'll be whole again and I'll be whole again Munificent, artless and ascetic Playing like a scared enthusiastic pawn After all these years forget about all the troubled times And after all these years forget about all the troubled times The troubled times, all those years I was hurting to feel something more than life All those years After all these years forget about all the troubled times And after all these years forget about all the troubled times And after all these years forget about all the troubled times The troubled times, all those years I was hurting to feel something more than life
Great reaction, Daniel is a little bit of an introvert & gets anxiety-strange for an artist I know & he’s definitely a perfectionist..he was married to Natalie Imbruglia who I know you’ve reacted to.
U should look up his other songs you will be shocked at his full rock voice. He has the growl, grunt, grit , power, the beauty of a falsetto and rich tone. My idol and inspiration!
Glad someone else requested this because I was going to buy changed to a different song. You may have heard of Silverchair (?). DJ has a new solo album coming out soon. Very much looking forward to it
One of the absolute best artists Australia has ever produced. The Silverchair discography (his old band) is one of THE most diverse set of albums from a band you're ever likely to hear. Each one is totally different. Total genius. Troubled genius. But still a genius.
Some background Daniel was the lead singer of the rock band Silverchair formed when the lads were 12 first single Tomorrow was a no 1 hit when they were 15!!! 🤯Daniel was later struck down with rare form of arthritis Reactive Arthritis For which she underwent treatment in LA. The Silverchair song Walking in Straight Lines is about his struggle with this. Bothe of these songs would me a good starting point for your journey into the deep well that is Daniel Johns a brilliant rock vocalist frontman and composer and now collaborator and soloist 😎💕
What a weird way to be introduced to Daniel Johns. An alternative rock voice with a raspy voice full of strain and stress backed by metal riffs singing a beautiful ballad. Been a big fan of Daniel for 24yrs now. Interesting to see if you react to, ‘Tomorrow’ ‘Israel’s Son’ ‘The Door’ etc
@dontlookup001 wait where is the criticism? I just thought it was interesting this was the first song he experienced. I grew up in the 90s when Silverchair was all alt rock/metal and Daniel hadn't changed styles yet. Anyway this guy only does requests if you pay him. $10 US minimum.
I'm so glad you that you appreciate Daniel Johns. he's an amazing singer/songwriter from his days in Silverchair, his collaborations and his solo stuff. he's a true Australian talent. 👍🎶
Daniel John’s has a amazing voice. There has been many vocal coaches reacting to his voice. All saying how amazing his voice has changed over the years.
This whole album Diorama was a very introspective album for him. He was very sick first with anorexia a form of arthritis. The song from this album called The Greatest View is also beautiful. The whole album is great.
I ❤️ Silverchair since early 90ties. This is one of my fav songs in the world, very good harmony and here a lot of variations. I recommend "Those Thieving Birds", it is like a symphony.
Kim marry me. Cause I don't want to be lonly I just want to be alone ya let's us be married and have another baby cause I don't want to be lonly I just want to alone ya let's just get married SHOUTING baby baby baby's. I know this is not tuna in the brine lyrics.
As an Aussie I am a huge fan of Silverchair, unfortunately they have been broken up for a while but I look forward to see what Daniel does next. Yes they are a big deal. Daniel is something of a musical prodigy as they released their first music when the band members were only 14 and he released genius work by 19! I don't know if they are really your thing but it would be great to see you react to some more of their songs. If you think he has a beautiful voice wait until you hear him scream. 😅I shuddered a bit at the Keith Urban reference though I have to admit haha.
This was nearly 20 years ago when Daniel was 21 or 22. He'd been involved with versions of Silverchair since the age of 12 and became world-wide famous at 15. You can listen to his podcast about his life to find out what early fame etc. did to him. He's now 42 and supposedly has an album coming out on his 43rd birthday this month(April). He's taken his music in a lot of different directions, always interesting, but he seems to be a perfectionist and doesn't put out a lot by today's standards. He's also said he may never perform onstage/live again. Pity, but in his case, understandable. Might be interesting if someone asks Nick to review some of his later stuff post Silverchair.
He completely cooked his voice through over-singing and straining. The last few years of his live performances were painful to watch. I doubt he would ever be able to resume touring again, even if he wanted to. He did irreversible damage to his voice. Probably can still make recordings though by singing when it's feeling good.
@@littleflick Yeah, that's going back a bit. He really should have stopped singing Straight Lines though. That song caused him untold hassles with his voice. I think his main reason for retiring from live work was more to do with his anxiety levels though.
Daniel Johns is one of my favourite artists of all time. His solo song Preach is a great song as well if you want to hear him go all out range-wise. He's definitely worth seeing live as well. Love the Kobe poster too. RIP Mamba 💛💜
I was wondering when someone would put Daniel Johns in front of you… but as you hear more from him you’ll realise that there are many other sides to him and his artistic output👍🏻👍🏻
I'm an Australian and loving all the Australian music, but I would LOVE to see you react to Skid Row - I Remember You. I just wanna see your face when he hits the notes that he hits!
Oh he has ALOT more tools in his pocket. You should hear his grungy growl in "spawn again". You listen to that, and his personal masterpiece "emotion sickness" where he wrote all the lyrics and music for it.
Also think you should listen to some of his OG stuff to see how much he’s changed musically from a 15 year old nirvana esque grunge kid to this glorious music.
You are spot on when you say he has more up his sleeve. Put a guitar in his hand and see what happens. For a while SilverChair were nicknamed Nirvana in Pyjamas .. I remember Courtney Love commenting on Daniel's stage presence and the nod to Nirvana
Of course he's got a lot more vocal skills. I wish you reacted to his "After all these years" at Newcastle 2003 (Faraway Stables DVD), so you can see it. He's so gifted and vocally awesome!, he did so many times a C#6, INCREDIBLY INCREDIBLE!!! And then sustained notes for q very VERY long long time, then, he can perfect melismas as a he only can, plus, he sings clear, raspy, grunts, head voice, and reach whistle tones without whistling. Is there something he can't do with his voice? 😍🖤
this was his best solo performance so far... near 20yrs ago, maybe he has more left in him?... Daniels having a bit of a hard time dealing with reality these days... maybe he'll get to loving life again. i think he should get some friends together and backpack the world as a nobody, coz having an identity crisis can consume a person... here's the best live performance from him with Silverchair... th-cam.com/video/4hE3Cdbzsaw/w-d-xo.html
Daniel Johns of Silverchair doing a classic rock ballad definitely not a singer songwriter though he does both need to react to more Daniel Johns and Silverchair
Daniel Johns suffered both from Anorexia and Stage fright because of his eating disorder. He struggled his whole career overcoming these things and this was inspite of every single record he released both with his band silverchair and his solo career going straight to number 1 and every song released doing similar and getting more radio play than anyone else. He is probably in my opinion in the same brand of shy and troubled that Jeff Buckley also struggled with.
Daniel Johns is the kind of prolific frontman that any band would like to have it.
Fun fact: he wrote this song shortly after teaching himself how to play the piano. This is the level of genius at work here. AFAIK he’s a guitarist first, but decided he wanted to write a record on piano (Diorama), so he got a piano and taught himself how to play it.
We're very lucky to have lived at the time Dan gave us this music. The guy IS a musical genius.
Daniel Johns, the Australian Paul McCartney, from the band Silverchair, The Australian Beatles, what a brilliant way to be introduced to Silverchair and Daniel Johns.

You NEED to hear Tuna In The Brine.
If you enjoy vocal runs, I would recommend reacting to Daniel Johns performing this song live in Newcastle, it's better than the studio version!
Yesss the Newcastle one had me like whaaaaa
Agreed, but only frogs and freaks know these things
@@paulvalenzuela3625 true…we’re like a little cult 😆
Even better would be Asylum from that same show.
That entire show is pure magic.
i so love that too!

Silverchair are epic💕
This song is one of the most beautifully written songs Ever!😢💕
I grew up in Australia kinda close to Dan when he was in silverchair and the scope of this musical potential still moves me
Hey man this dude was also able to pull off some crazy ranges. Metal vocals. Grunge vocals. Punk. Opera style. He'll blow your mind the more you dig
Diorama is my favourite album of all time...Tuna in the Brine is pure magic
The downfall of silverchair.
The most talented genius of our modern times! I have seen him live so many times and he is fuxking brilliant!

My favorite musician of all time. Seriously, his musicianship and voice have become something I always compare others with, intentionally or not.
I’m so glad you love him. Hopefully us Aussies will request more Silverchair for you to enjoy!
Hell yeah, do israels son, freak, spawn again, pure massacre, emotion sickness, one way mule, satin sheets, many many more to look into aswell. I'll look forward to it.

Diorama is one of my all time fave albums. A beautiful voice and beautiful soul 💫💫
Such an Interesting composition, difficult chord changes bordering on dissonant but it all finally resolves at the end
He is a legend. I love daniel. He was a lot of fun back in the 90s. Had fun at after parties with him. His vocal range is insane
More Daniel Johns/Silverchair reactions please. He is one of the great ones!

"After All These Years"
Breathe in the night that crushed a tired sunrise
Born again, the day brings young naivety
A laptop souvenir is worth the weight in silver and gold
And son, you'll be home again and I'll be whole again
Mend in my sleep, I'm boxing under water
Waddle on the wake
Waking on a summer day
A summer day
And after all these years forget about all the troubled times
And after all these years forget about all the troubled times
And every father's pain casts a shadow over a broken son
You'll be whole again and I'll be whole again
Munificent, artless and ascetic
Playing like a scared enthusiastic pawn
After all these years forget about all the troubled times
And after all these years forget about all the troubled times
The troubled times, all those years I was hurting to feel something more than life
All those years
After all these years forget about all the troubled times
And after all these years forget about all the troubled times
And after all these years forget about all the troubled times
The troubled times, all those years I was hurting to feel something more than life
This is the best version of this song live 🥰 and he didn’t know how to play piano until he wrote this song.
Newcastle is the best for me.
Great reaction, Daniel is a little bit of an introvert & gets anxiety-strange for an artist I know & he’s definitely a perfectionist..he was married to Natalie Imbruglia who I know you’ve reacted to.
Oooh delving into Daniel Johns and Silverchair... nice 👌 Frogstomp was the very first CD I ever bought - showing my age 😛
U should look up his other songs you will be shocked at his full rock voice. He has the growl, grunt, grit , power, the beauty of a falsetto and rich tone. My idol and inspiration!
It gives me chills to see someone discover Daniel Johns for the first time. Do yourself a favor & listen to more you'll definitely enjoy it!
Glad someone else requested this because I was going to buy changed to a different song. You may have heard of Silverchair (?). DJ has a new solo album coming out soon. Very much looking forward to it
Daniel will forever and ever be my favorite artist!

i remember watching this when it went to air in 2003. The Panel was an awesome show and I've been a Silverchair fan since the 90's.
Loved this! The beautiful spectrum of Daniel Johns career always makes me smile, such an evolution over the years!
Ah this was my request! I’m out now so can’t listen but when I get home I’m looking forward to seeing your reaction.
Great request 👍

Daniel / Silver Chair is from my home town ...Newcastle NSW AUSTRALIA
One of the best songs ever! To somewhat know the torture he went through for his art is incredible.
One of our very best!
What a weird way to be introduced to Daniel Johns. An alternative rock voice with a raspy voice full of strain and stress backed by metal riffs singing a beautiful ballad. Been a big fan of Daniel for 24yrs now. Interesting to see if you react to, ‘Tomorrow’ ‘Israel’s Son’ ‘The Door’ etc
@dontlookup001 there was no criticism there tho
No, this is the best way to be introduced to them, eclectic and gracefully.
Those aren't really the best songs for showcasing Daniel's vocal talents though. They're good songs but not really "singer" songs.

Hi Nick, Daniel Johns has a serious good hard rock voice his equiped with too.
I listen to this all of the time, he’s amazing.
Great reaction vid, thank you. Daniel is a true musical talent in the purest form.

Great Aussie Talent, great reaction Nick👍
He has an amazing voice 🤍✨✨✨
Love Silverchair and Daniel Johns this was brilliant ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Now listen to him in Silverchair and The Dissociatives... the guy has a wild catalogue.
Ahhh Silverchair. Very worth giving a listen too. Their early stuff is very Nirvana like
Wish more people would react to Daniel johns
Yesss! So happy you’ve reacted to Daniel Johns.
Best band no one has heard of, every album so different and Daniel is only 21 or 22 around Diorama time. Silverchair is just amazing!!
From my Home town of Newcastle ,, all I can say is,,,, I fukn Love silverchair ,, from the start ,, and I'm 51,,,,and this is my favorite
DanielnJohns &.Silver Chair much love 💙💯💥💫
Daniel John’s has a amazing voice. There has been many vocal coaches reacting to his voice. All saying how amazing his voice has changed over the years.
He opened the MTV awards when he was 14 with Sliverchair. He was hard out rock. Listen to his voice before he lost it due to illness.
This whole album Diorama was a very introspective album for him. He was very sick first with anorexia a form of arthritis. The song from this album called The Greatest View is also beautiful. The whole album is great.
I ❤️ Silverchair since early 90ties. This is one of my fav songs in the world, very good harmony and here a lot of variations. I recommend "Those Thieving Birds", it is like a symphony.
Tuna in the Brine… he won songwriter of the year for it!

Daniel Johns is one of my favourite artists of all time. His solo song Preach is a great song as well if you want to hear him go all out range-wise. He's definitely worth seeing live as well.
Love the Kobe poster too. RIP Mamba 💛💜
I was wondering when someone would put Daniel Johns in front of you… but as you hear more from him you’ll realise that there are many other sides to him and his artistic output👍🏻👍🏻
Juxtapose this with Freak - silver chair his band... you'll see his range
❤ thank you i love silverchair, you would like this album
I'm an Australian and loving all the Australian music, but I would LOVE to see you react to Skid Row - I Remember You. I just wanna see your face when he hits the notes that he hits!
The album FROG STOMP rocks 🤙
My all time fave album of any artist worldwide. This is a banger album!
Oh he has ALOT more tools in his pocket. You should hear his grungy growl in "spawn again". You listen to that, and his personal masterpiece "emotion sickness" where he wrote all the lyrics and music for it.
You need to listen to the Diorama album start to finish. It’s the only album I don’t feel the need to skip a single song. It’s fucking brilliant.
Also think you should listen to some of his OG stuff to see how much he’s changed musically from a 15 year old nirvana esque grunge kid to this glorious music.
Can’t believe you hadn’t heard him before…Check out the band silverchair he was lead singer,song hot in the shade is a beauty
It's sad we will never see him play live ever again.
How have you not heard silverchair.
Daniel Johns = Silverchair
Tuna in the brine. Freak (a great rock song). Ana’s Song. Would be my favourites. But his voice is still one of the best in the game.
You are spot on when you say he has more up his sleeve. Put a guitar in his hand and see what happens. For a while SilverChair were nicknamed Nirvana in Pyjamas .. I remember Courtney Love commenting on Daniel's stage presence and the nod to Nirvana
Except they were fans of/sounded more like Pearl Jam in the early days
This song sounds like it’s got more keys than a night watchman’s belt
You need to react to Straight Lines. It’s my favourite song. So so good.
Of course he's got a lot more vocal skills. I wish you reacted to his "After all these years" at Newcastle 2003 (Faraway Stables DVD), so you can see it.
He's so gifted and vocally awesome!, he did so many times a C#6, INCREDIBLY INCREDIBLE!!!

Is there something he can't do with his voice? 😍🖤
Silverchair one of the best bands Australia has produced
have a listen to Daniel Johns covers 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' at Triple J's Beat The Drum
I can't wait for you to actually hear silverchair more specifically there early material. It just hits and hits hard
this was his best solo performance so far... near 20yrs ago, maybe he has more left in him?... Daniels having a bit of a hard time dealing with reality these days... maybe he'll get to loving life again. i think he should get some friends together and backpack the world as a nobody, coz having an identity crisis can consume a person... here's the best live performance from him with Silverchair... th-cam.com/video/4hE3Cdbzsaw/w-d-xo.html
Diorama=best Silverchair album ever!!!!
More Silverchair. Such an amazing band.
This perhaps who the Silverchair lead? This is him! 🤘🏻
Well you better do the master piece that is Tuna in the Brine next …
No one’s gonna talk about Tuna in the Brine?
He’s the lead singer of silverchair!!
I thought that you had already reacted to him?
Daniel Johns of Silverchair doing a classic rock ballad definitely not a singer songwriter though he does both need to react to more Daniel Johns and Silverchair
A musical savant.
Those thieving birds/ Strange behavior (live)
👍
Should check out Silverchairs year 2000 official music video
Daniel Johns suffered both from Anorexia and Stage fright because of his eating disorder.
He struggled his whole career overcoming these things and this was inspite of every single record he released both with his band silverchair and his solo career going straight to number 1 and every song released doing similar and getting more radio play than anyone else.
He is probably in my opinion in the same brand of shy and troubled that Jeff Buckley also struggled with.
Bring on Silverchair yewwwww
