Lyrics
Hey little Danny don’t you cry
I am you from much later in your life
I know your hair is wild, I know you have no style
You’re still a virgin and you will be for a while
Danny don’t you know that you are hot as fuck on the inside
Everybody knows the best bananas will be ripe with time
Danny don’t you know that you kick so much ass on the inside
Danny don’t you know
Hey little Danny, don’t be blue
You had a growth spurt and you’re suddenly 6’2”
The girls are steering clear
You walk like a newborn deer
You sent birthday invites, and now all your friend is here
Danny don’t you know that you are cool as fuck on the inside
You’re just going through an awkward phase from 12 to 29
Danny don’t you know that everyone feels weird on the inside
Danny don’t you know
Close your eyes and you will see
A window into your destiny
Now you’re on tour, and they want more!
You step on stage and they come alive
No one cares that you’re 35
You’re a rock star on a centaur!
You’re still a nerdy kid inside
But now you’ve finally found your tribe
Hear the crowd roar
Give ‘em what they came for!
ALL RIGHT LET ME HEAR YOU!!!!!
D-A-N-N-Y HE’S A SUPER AWESOME GUY
D-A-N-N-Y HE IS NOT AFRAID TO CRY
D-A-N-N-Y HE CRIES ALMOST ALL THE TIME
D-A-N-N-Y HE CRIES AND CRIES AND CRIES AND CRIES
Danny don’t you know that we’re all rad as fuck on the inside
Now it’s time to rock the show, come on you are a star tonight
Danny don’t you know that you’re a spandex butterfly for life
Danny don’t you know
I like how this implies that ninja Brian had always been an adult
Ninja Brian has always been!
Ninja Brian does not age and never did. He came out of the womb C-section and slashed his own umbilical cord, choked the doctor and nurses with it and gave everyone the finger.
He's a ninja so he actually came out of the womb without the anyone noticing, not the doctors and not even his own mother ninja.
He is a atherosclerotic being who shall not be questioned about his lack of aging
Basically
Danny: "hey markiplier"
Markiplier: "yeah?"
Danny: "You wanna be a centaur?"
Markiplier: "sure"
ME: "What are 'Words you never thought would be said in that particular order', Alex?"
TREBECK: "Correct for a thousand!"
^_^
Danny: hey Nate
Nate: yeah?
Danny: Wanna call Finn Wolfhard a bitch?
Nate: Hell yeah
Markiplier: I only have one condition, i dont wanna wear pants
Danny: thats cool, centaurs dont wear pants anyway
Mark: also topless.
Danny: i... okay?
Brendon Hawkins despite this being a joke i image that's exactly how it happened
It's his chance of being taller than everyone else.
He cried during the live show I saw of this. He wiped his eyes and was grinning ear to ear. A man living his dream. Makes me tear up too. Keep kicking ass Mr. Avidan.
Do you know if there's a recording of it somewhere on YT? That would be so heartwarming to see.
@@jayargee492 Agreed would pay real money to see that. Couldn't find it, but found this small Danny speech during a live show and it's also extremely heartwarming and Danny is also clearly about to cry during the crowd chant th-cam.com/video/mRp6ZCsTrc8/w-d-xo.html

abnormaler stuff
Not all heroes wear capes..... But this one does
Madz and a Star of David
And the other wears a ninja mask.
And plays video games. All the video games.
This one wears FUCKING WINGS
And 10 layers of black makeup
Mark and Arin’s little cameos never fail to make me laugh 😂
I know arin looked so happy to be there 🤣🤣 where as Mark was just rocking it 🤣🤣
I just realized Nathan Wants to Battle is getting flipped off at 4:24
lazercorn formerly of smosh is there too!
I like the fact, that mark just brought amy along for the ride
This thread is in some desperate need of proper recognition of the lovely Cinnamon roll that is Mica Burton.
The “now its time to rock the show, come on you are a star tonight” still gives me goosebumps every time
He layered his own voice at least 4 times to achieve that
Danny is a madman
I know, it always gives me damn chills. Epic.
Years of listening to this song and it still does. I just love that part.
Yess same omg!!!
Same. That part still comes up in my mind pretty frequently. Powerful.
they really hired natewantstobattle to NOT sing
What a power play
You could say "tasty power move"
@@brandon0sh damn it it's been two years since this came out and you still beat me to it
Honestly no idea who that is.
If you've heard his version of Linkin Park, you'd understand why...
They really got mark to be in not even one second if the video
Finn Wolfhard playing Young Danny was absolutely genius
It really fits
they’re friends :)
Also based on that childhood pic at the end there really is a super strong resemblance. It must have been really cathartic for Danny shooting this song, and that really comes across in its authenticity. Such a wonderful song.
And if we need an old Danny, we can just get Satchel from Steel Panther!

"Youre just going through an awkward phase from 12 to 29"
As someone who is between the ages of 12-29, this really speaks to me.
I just turned 31. Sometimes, it's just something you learn to work with.
Can you explain a bit about the awkward phase and what changed after you are 30?
@@typacsk All I've learned is that most of us are one tiny disaster away from turning into monsters or falling apart, and that for most there's no hope of being awesome except on the inside, alone.
Well you become a wizard at 30 if you're still a virgin so awkward doesnt really fit all that well.
Same
Positive affirmational sounds for young men are so fucking important.

Where did he get a centaur?!?
This is what I thought
A very powerful line:
You step on stage and they come alive. No one cares that you're 35.
Your dreams are not limited to a specific age.
Kitty Voss Another powerful line:
*Where’d he get a centaur?*
Can’t back this up with an episode but I vaguely remember dan saying on game grumps that in his early music life, he felt like everybody had accomplished great things by his age so he felt that he needed to catch up. But it’s so awesome that he’s saying to his past self that he didn’t need to rush anything because it was all going to work out in the end.
randomnesswithryan Yes! Exactly :)
This is an old comment so don't expect anyone to see this but plenty of musicians have made it later in Life. The National for example
@@JetJockey87 absolutely! I just believe that a lot of people tend to think things like “I can’t be an amazing (blank) like that, that person has been doing it since they were little. How can I ever be that good?”. But it really is never too late to pursue your dreams and passions!
Knowing that the legendary Dan Avidan took until 29 to get out of his awkward phase definitely helps me feel more hopeful about the fact that I’m 19 and still feel like a lost, alienated guy. Like I’m gonna be 20 soon and I still feel like I’m not going anywhere. Thank you Danny Sexbang.
Same
Don't worry too much about it dude, I'm 28 and still trying to get it all together :) You've got loads of time
I’m 26 and am still awkward so you have loads of time 🤣
Dude, I'm 26, aspiring to be a musician, and only just starting to learn to read music. We all go at our own pace. You have the time that you are given. Use it how YOU see fit. No day but today, buddy.
From a 25 year old-you never really change, you just slowly, little by little, get better at being you. If you look back on stuff you did two years ago and cringe, congrats! That means you've grown a little, and that's honestly all that matters.
He should look so stupid in the outfit but God, it works for him.
It's based on Owen Hart, the pro wrestler.
Owen's entire career was shit that SHOULD have been dumb, but he made it work like a goddamn champ

"You're going through an awkward phase from 12 to 29"
As someone that just hit 30 and is just now coming out of their shell, that really hits a chord.
ClimateCTRL As a 28 year old in the same position I felt that line...
33 and still awkward AF.
Do you boo boo! You got this 👏🏻💪🏻
I'm still working on it well after 30
For reallllllll
They had to show a picture of Brian at age 11 rather than 13 cus he already had a PHD by then.
u wot m8 i think it is because he is most self conscious in that picture
r/woooosh
That’s really funny 😂
I think its because he was a ninja by age 13 so they couldn't find him
pretty hard dick amirite
I like to imagine that Ninja Brian has always looked like an adult his whole life.
Just like “ Ma’am congratulations it’s a fully grown ninja.”

And i like to think that he's been watchin out for dorky danny from the shadows, merkin the punks that ragged on him. haha
Mother births him and the doctor says "congrats you got a man, who's a ninja for some reason how did he get clothes?"
How is a song simultaneously hilarious and also so emotionally moving at the same time? When you successfully produce a song that is both funny and unironically fantastic at the same time, you've gota 10/10 masterpiece. Love this song.
Also this song kept me alive in 2020
around these parts we call it a 10/10 masterstroke
straight from the credits:
"Arin Hanson: Danny's One Friend"
That's a beautiful line...
;-; what about brian
He's not a "friend" so much as "He will probably kill Danny last when he's out of other people to kill"....which I guess is as close to a friend as you get with a psychopath ninja.
AHH MY HEART ;W; ♥♥♥
@@elijahgrimm8052 That's so sweet
@Purple Booty - Also, he didn't meet Ninja Brian until he was an adult. So even though Ninja Brian was always watching over him in spirit, Danny didn't know!
Still makes me smile to think Finn, a game grumps fan, is playing Danny, who is a huge Finn fan. ♥️😭
And while neither of them are very likely to know anything about you I promise you both absolutely love you.
^ this comment is heartwarming (both)

my name is also danny and ive struggled nearly my entire life with suicidal and depressive thoughts, so when they released this song, it meant a lot to me; still does even now three years later.
we share the same name. :) I too have depression and am bipolar. I didn't even know this song existed until recently but to have him singing about "me" and how I felt all through school and even in my 20s and 30s was very powerful. And to be reminded I'm "cool as fuck" is very sweet, I love it.
im proud of you for making it so far stay strong man
my name isn’t danny, but you’re not alone struggling with suicidal thoughts and depression! i’m so glad to see you make it man, and seeing others fight this curse means that it’s doable, and we can beat this shit. much love man, life gets better
I hope you are doing well 🖤
Hey fellow Danny, I feel the same, I hope that a year later you're kicking ass and feeling better. Stay awesome Dannys!
Getting Finn to play young Danny is the best casting choice that has ever been made.
Nicolae Holley
Nah.
Wolfhard as young Snape/Kylo Ren would be even better.
He actually looked just like the pic of young Danny to me
Finn?
Nah fam, Kevin as male classmate XD
Nicolae Holley very true
Jesus. How can a band that literally has SEX in the title make one of the best songs about self acceptance I’ve ever heard? Jesus I hopped on the train too late. These songs all slap
If you listen to the earlier songs, the name makes more sense
Do yourself a favor and go to a concert once they go back on tour. Most incredible experiences of my life
I mean, the mere fact that they're bold enough to have the word "sex" openly in their name pretty much makes them quite qualified to talk about it.
You're never late to the train if you're still able to board her love. *No one cares if you're 35.*
Besides, if you listen carefully, you can't spell self-acceptance without sex.
Old Danny: 'I am you, from much later in your life.'
Young Danny: 'I have several questions.'

The line about the birthday invitations actually had me break down crying when I first heard it. When I turned 13, I told my mom I outgrew birthday parties. In reality, I was just terrified that no one from school would come if I invited them. Everyone has that wish at least once in their life, to go back in time and change something they were unhappy about. But to go back to give that sad little girl a hug, and tell her that everything will be ok, that it's ok to let it out and cry. Sometimes I wish it was possible, but the best we can do now is help others that are facing the same struggles and know that seeking out help when you need it isn't a sign of weakness, but strength.
Be the person you needed when you were young.
I know it's been a year since you made this comment, but I felt that. I wish I could sit down with my teenage self and tell him everything he needed to hear. Let him know it's okay to not really fit in, it's okay to ask for help with anything, even the seemingly small things. Tell him to not be afraid of failure or rejection. That everything will be okay in time.
I kept a lot to myself as a teen when I really should have let it out.
It’s been a year since you commented this but oh well, this honestly makes me feel really comforted. I’m 14 and feel alone a lot and it’s honestly really nice to know the way I’m feeling isn’t just me.
I'm actually blown away by how much 13 y/o Danny really looks like Finn Wolfhard.
Dark Tenka ikr?? It's like he's acting as him or something
oh wow it's almost like it actually is him.
if your comment was sarcasm I swear to god
oh wait I misunderstood the comment completely. fuck I'm stupid
i think they're talking about the actual pic of danny at the end, y'all
yeah, just got that
Finn Wolfard and 13 year old danny look almost identical, good casting
Who are you? What do you want? Not to mention great genetics and timing

honestly its so funny to me that during making this finn wolfhard has to look at danny straight faced as he danced in front of him lip syncing with blue spandex

im kinda imagining how the convo went to get finn on board

I’ve shown this to my 14 yr old son and he cried and hugged me and said “thank you mommy.” NSP will always have a special place in my heart. They already did, but they helped my son get that I understood him. I was an unpopular nerd girl in school. They connected us in a way only music can. Forever Grateful. And, my first name is Dana. Not hard to switch from Danny lol.
Weirdos gotta stick together.
This song is hardcore real. This isn't NSP's normal sound, but I think it's something Danny HAD to write. If you follow Danny on Grumps, or even have listened to any of the plentiful "best of" compilations, you know that Danny had a tough time getting into the music business, but he tried his best always until it finally worked out for him. This is more real than it is funny or satirical. There are humorous elements, but this is Danny looking back at his past and being thankful he made it. I'm sure there were tough patches out there for him, like there are for all of us. Dan Avidan is the prime example of someone who never gave up on his dreams and carved a path doing what he fucking loved, even in the worst of times. This song is actually fucking inspiring to the point where I'm tearing up thinking back to it. We've all been in young Danny's shoes, and some of us are still fighting the fight to make it to where we can be a rockstar. Fighting through the worst shit life has to throw at us. But Danny's living proof that if we work hard and never stop doing what we love, we'll get there. This song actually touched me, not in the normal NSP NSFW way, but in a way that hits me right in the emotions. It also shows Danny is fucking balling at writing more serious songs. I don't want NSP to go anywhere, but this song is proof that if NSP ever branched into more serious material, they would have talent to do so.
Your comment is right on the money. This has the feel of something that may have just started as a therapeutic letter to one's younger self, turned into a song, turned into probably NSP's best song to date. It's funny, though, that this will be on the same album as Cool Patrol and many other silly songs.
It’s also amazing how this song was released on his fifth Danniversary with as a Grump. He made it.
One of the best comments I saw on a NSP video was "Dan has finally become the 80's rockstar that he always wanted to be"
When is this going to be on hard back book
I'm a straight man, but still i love danny, as much as a straight man can love another man he has never actually met in person and doesn't plan to ever meet in person. He a cool dude and story is so relate-able. He's a important figure in many peoples lives at this point.
The harmonies on "Come on, you are a star tonight" never fails to just give me goosebumps all over. Danny Avidan you brilliant man.
You put it into words
It makes my hair stand on end and I love it so much so powerful
I agree, awesome song. And over 10 million views in just 2 years. 😮
For me it's "Here the crowd roar, give em what they came for" but honestly it's whole song
My favorite is the very end with the echo of Danny don’t you know. And as it’s slowly fading away, it just hits in the feels
45 year old therapist here. I'm a powerlifter, I do MMA cage fighting with weapons as a hobby and teach martial arts, I have 3 goruck toughs under my belt, I volunteer as a SAR responder for the local sherrif's department, and I earned a bachelor's and Master's Degree in Psychology while working as a single dad and struggling with ADHD. I'm a certified badass.
I showed this to a client of mine who needed to see it, and it really helped her. After she left, I went back into my office and broke down and cried because of how hard it hit for me.
I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until I was in my 20's. I was always the weird kid who was constantly underachieving. I didn't truly start to come into my own until 29.
It made me hard as fuck on the inside. Such a great song. I wish I could play it for my 12 year old self.
If you're here, and you're struggling, from one badass to another, I hope you take the song to heart. Find your tribe. Ask for help if you need to. Trust that someday, you'll step into your own power, whatever that means for you. If it's MMA, or being a spandex butterfly, just understand that OWNING who you are is the most badass thing you can ever do.
My step-daughter is going through a hard time right now (socially/mentally/physically/puberty is a bitch). As someone who also struggled from "12-29" I have been feeling inclined to share this song with her as it's something that I wish I had growing up. You have reaffirmed my instinct to share this with her. Also, I will be stealing your phrasing of "OWNING who you are is the most badass thing you can ever do. Thank you.
Damn. I'm going on 30. Healthcare professional (ER tech for 6 years and MA internal med for 3 now), little over halfway to my black belt in judo, diagnosed with ADHD at 25. It's really encouraging to see someone so similar who's doing well. Because a lot of the time I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere. I'm really glad I saw this comment.

Fressh - but it's also really kind of sad, when you think about it. (this video is Danny reflecting on his younger days; which means no one came to his Bday parties).
I want to hug him - just for that.

Foreallll 😂💯
"And now* all your friend is here" you fkn idiot
xlennox beats hey don’t be rude, everyone commits mistakes
I love reading through these comments and seeing how many people share a verse that hit them hard, really resonates with them - but that it's not the same verse for everyone. There are so many amazing and powerful lines in one silly-on-the-surface song. That's what makes this such a sincerely great song.
The line that gets me is 1:57 "Danny don't you know that everyone feels weird on the inside" - the way he says it... I really needed to hear that.
But there are a dozen other lines in this one song that other people feel the same way about:
- 1:35 "Send Birthday invites and now all your friend is here"
- 1:50 "You're just going through an awkward phase from 12 to 29"
- 2:37 "No one cares that your 35"
- 2:48 "You're still a nerdy kid inside, but now you finally found your tribe"
- 3:55 "Now it's time to rock the show, come on, you are a star tonight"
I mean come on, I can't think of many songs that speak to the listener in so many lines. I could quote more, but then I'd just be posting essentially all the lyrics... Danny says it best "... don't you know that you kick so much ass on the inside?" What an awesome anthem for what almost everyone has felt in their life at some point.
Thanks for this song NSP, clearly, we all needed to hear this.
I had no idea he was older than me.
I've been getting depressed at being 40. I figured that life didn't really hold much new for me anymore and was really getting in a dark place. Seeing Danny here, though, just living the way he wants to and being happy and well-loved makes me feel so much better.
Finn was dead on when it came to looking like young Danny

Well, season 3 of Stranger Things is sure going in a weird direction...

Salt king $20,000 or else
Salt king fuck you, it’s only been a day
Lololol
Salt king dammit but he was all of his friend who was there
3:56 I think is still one of the most powerful and emotional lyrics I’ve heard. It’s not outwardly emotional but you can feel every bit of emotion emitting from Danny as he belts it out.
They should make Brian don't you know. It should be an instrumental of Ninja Brian staring at a slightly smaller NB for 4 solid minutes. With maybe some random murders in the background or something
NSP get on it! This man just fed you gold!
ok but instead of “Danny don’t you know” it’s “Brian are you aware”
yooooo
Roses and Sunflowers YOOOOOO
This wouldn’t make sense because Brian came out of the womb all-knowing...
I love that they got Finn Wolfhard to play the young Danny, but then thought "Yeah Nate will pass as a high school student too"
They all could including a 35 year old man. *year young
OMG YESSSS although I love the fact that they made Nate the bully, like he is one of the nicest, funniest people I've ever seen, and yet they made him a BULLY. Think about it.
@@marvinmageVA Well, considering what kind of Characters he has voiced and played.. makes sense, he just has the voice for it :D
I mean.. he kinda does xD without beard he looks young, maybe not that young xD but young enough to redo some clases
And Kevin!
"Mark don't ask, but we need you standing topless in front of a green screen in a superhero pose."
Well he did do tasteful nudes.........was this connected?
Something tells me this was the exact way it went down knowing them
shawnzilla3 knowing them, they very enthusiastically told him he was going to be a shirtless centaur, and he very enthusiastically agreed
Yep just like Inurian59 said im 100% sure it went down like that
Mark wouldn’t need an explanation xD
Thank you NSP
and thank you Danny Sexbang for this incredible power ballad. And congratulations on your amazing success.
Finn dressed as Danny is something that i never thought i needed but i definitely did
Fucking honestly
id honestly pay thousands of dollars for my own danny sexbang costume
this is true
Now I'm just waiting for "Brian Don't You Know" where Ninja Brian meets his past self and they keep flipping each other off and trying to kill more people than the other.
Robberino *Insert silent anger*
Maybe that's what "Ninja Brian Goes To Soccer Practice" from the new album will be about.
Robberino and there's no lyrics or sounds except people dying and stabbing sound effects.
Ninja Brian flipping off ninja Brian... does that mean adult ninja Brian taught kid ninja Brian the finger? If so who taught adult ninja Brian?
Clearly this would create a paradox. I'm sure Brian Wecht would have figured this out and not allowed ninja Brian to visit himself in the past.
Ninja Brian...
Ninja Brain*
Wait Brian is sitting in Dan’s class when he’s younger, is Brian like an immortal caretaker of Dan? This lore is great
NSP lore videos need to be a thing now
Brian is a wrathful, omnipotent, Lovecraftian, immortal entity that Danny Sexbang somehow finagled into being bound by contract to become his sleepless guardian across time and space.
Come on, you think if that was the real Ninja Brian you'd be able to see him?
It's probably because he time traveled back with Danny. That's my guess.
If it was the rest of the class would be dead except Danny.
This is my first time listening to an NSP song, and I always avoided them because I thought all of their songs were just humorous pisstakes. But this one got on an emotional level. I was not at all expecting that! Excellent!
i know this is 11 months old but if you’re looking for more serious music from dan, check out his new band shadow academy, or his old one skyhill (he was also a part of a band called northern hues but that was early in his career so the sound isn’t quite as refined as his other stuff- still good though)
NSP typically is goofy with sprinkles of serious like this one. Skyhill and Shadow Academy are basically the serious refined, so damned good
I can just imagine Finn showing this to the directors of It chapter two to prove dan could totally be the older version of him
Aww
I was just thinking that, Dan totally should have played older Finn xD
Hell yes
if only!!!!
the scenes alternate between Bill Hader and Danny Sexbang playing adult Richie and no one questions it
"You're just going through an awkward phase from 12 to 29...!"
Turning 29 this year. Here's hoping that signals the end of this godforsaken phase then.
It's also okay if it takes a while longer to hit your stride! [... "no one cares if you're 35...."]
(coming from someone well past 29 who is still defining what matters in life)
I am 30 & still in an awkward phase.
Same. So much same.
SAME
I love how Ninja Bryan was in 1994 Danny’s class, implying that:
A: Ninja Brian is Danny’s guardian angel
B: Ninja Brian is immortal
C: Ninja Brian can travel through time
D: Ninja Brian is a God
E: All of the above

As much as I enjoyed early NSP, this one feels like it's approaching something greater. It's a song with a purpose, not a punchline.

fuk that
Even has punchlines too
Michael 마익흘 Aronson That is such a good way to put it
It had a meaningful message while still having some great lines (ex. You sent your birthday invites and now all your friend is here)

I remember listening to this song in middle school back when it came out. I found NSP through Game Grumps, and I've been hooked ever since. I'm graduating high school this year. There are still times that I feel like an outcast and a fuck-up, but knowing one of the people who made me laugh when I was going through the worst time in my life felt the same and still found his place in the world gives me hope. In a world that may never understand who I am, it gives me hope that I can find a place for me. This song means so much to me. Thank you, Dan and Brian.
This is possibly the best original song they've made. Their comedy songs are great but this is actually a great song and I'd love to hear more.
TheRedneckRoman16 exactly. I love all their work, but to have a song I can relate to on a deep level is wonderful!
Yeah, it is still sort of comedic with the whole “hot as fuck on the inside” stuff but it actually is a meaningful song. (Not to say that their songs aren’t meaningful am i right)
I do love how they stick to their roots though and keep a bit of comedy in. It wouldn’t be NSP without it no matter how serious the message is.
''and now all your friend is here''
best line ever
Did i mention this lowkey made me cry when i first heard it
Same
It makes me regular key cry just about every time I hear it.
youre gay
@@RummyStarlight I also cry everytime I hear this on pandora at work
@@crimsoncamellia7079 HAH. Nice.
How are more people not talking about the INCREDIBLE vocal harmonies in this song? The whole song has great harmonies but especially at 3:57. That one gives me goosebumps.
"Sent birthday invites, and now all your friend is here" ahahaha

Ehhh...

Daryn Ashcroft "large, extra large? Thanks"

I'd give you a thumbs up, but it's currently at 69 and no way am I ruining that shit.
I wish it was on spoofy rn
Captain Fabulous Dark colors please.
Possibly the most amazing part is when Danny tells himself to shake it off after everybody says he cries and cries.
A nuance about how he still has his troubles and issues as an adult, but has grown mature enough to know how to handle things.
That's the goal. He really gets it
i hadn't even thought of that..
love it though
It’s very human. Most of these songs want to come across the idea of the person changing to be perfect. Dan decided to show that even in the awesome future you won’t be perfect, just better. I like that.
It is my headcanon that Brian's bowl cut slowly overtook him and became his ninja suit.
omg yes
most likely what happened
This man is clairvoyant.
Ninja Brian is an umbra witch (like bayonetta) confirmed.
are you implying he's bayonetta
I’m turning 29 in a few days, and I’m listening to this song on repeat. I’m looking forward to the end of my awkward phase. Dan and Brian are so inspiring to me. They’re proof that you don’t have to have life figured out at 20 and that your dreams don’t have an expiration date.
The awkward phase from 12 to 29 really hit home...
Chris Beck same
I'm 32 and still waiting for my awkward phase to end
It really is true. My life didn't start taking off until 31. So much of your 20s is still figuring stuff out.
25 now. Life has sucked since 17. Wonder when this gets better! You say 29. Let's see... fingers crossd 😣😣😣
Same.
"You're still a nerdy kid inside, but now you've finally found your tribe"
Literally the best line of the song, made me tear up because isn't that what we all just want

You will. :) Found mine at 23
OH IT’S TRIBE?? I thought it was jive
@@JasonSmith-lb1nx I thought it was stride
Nah I think "you're just going through an awkward phase from 12 to 29" is a better line.
So in Stranger Things the kid didn't get teleported to the up side down, but to a kick ass NSP Concert

Finn must be exploding at this point.
Like, he was watching Game Grumps in 2012, and his career began about a year later. Danny was already on Game Grumps by the time Finn got into Stranger Things. By extension, he's a fan of GG long before he ever became a celebrity. So this is the modern equivalent with dancing with your own idol.
He has a band for a while now :^) calpernica I believe
Finn must be pleading his directors to cast Danny as the older Richie for IT
Gimmerstrike it's Calpurnia
YES CALPURNIA THO I SWEAR THEY WILL HIT IT BIG ONE DAY!
Oh, wow. Looking at Baby Brian, you just KNEW that kid would grow up to be a brilliant scientist, a brilliant comedian, or a serial killer.

The story of how a dorky kid who everyone shat on became a badass comedy-musician/comedian who can wear bright blue spandex in 2019 without making it look tacky while also being part of a hit TH-cam series with a guy who yells a lot but still has a big, squishy heart under all of that sass.
Rock on Danny Sexbang Avidan. Rock on *wipes tear*
When you put it that way, that sounds like the best life you can have

This is mean. I got made fun of like this all the time when I made cartoons and it fucking sucked. It didn’t give me a thick skin or make me a better artist or make me think more about what I was doing, it just hurt.
Danny sextant FOREVER!
As a 25 year old college senior who dropped out and went back and is struggling hard… I feel the awkward stage of 12-29 line a lot. Burst into tears in a Taco Bell drive through tonight listening to that. But that made me realize it’s all ok.
I honestly want to know how successful they'd be in the 80's
Very
They'd probably get the shit censored out of them.
Nilson Rodriguez literally

They are legendary, they would be mythical
"An awkward phase between 12 and 29"
GaaD this is the line where my heart swelled and my eyes welled up
GaaD - at least he got out of the awkward stage (lucky bastard!)
GaaD 😂 I know!
I really feel this as my social life really kicked off after I turned 30 last year, thanks to finally figuring out myself and figuring out the kinds of people I want in my life. Finally found my tribe~
So painfully accurate only I'm 24 so I still got 5 years left lol.
There are more recognizable cameos in this than in TH-cam Rewind

"All your friend is here!" Amazing line!

Do you know now, Danny?
I love it when Danny does more genuine music like this. I mean, I love the dick jokes, too, but the man's got a heart and his voice really carries this sort of thing so well. These are such a treat, yet so rare.
If you love the serious stuff, I recommend looking up Skyhill (the band he was in just before NSP). Or if you want more recent, he did vocals on the song "Magnum Bullets," which is fucking incredible.
AmedeusMkII oh my god I laughed and felt at the same time. I gotta that's what the laughing crying emoji is really all about.
yesss
This is exactly how I feel. Danny is a great singer, and I love NSP, but the not-comedy music is amazing.
I love this song so much and I’ve listened to it so many times because of Dan’s wonderful voice, but I feel like more serious music shouldn’t be on NSP. I just don’t want the thing that happened for FilthyFrank to happen for NSP. But one thing I do not like is how Sean Barret is making everything nicer and stuff, I feel like NSP is known for having everything look really bad, girls in bikinis(you’ll know what I’m talking about if you listen to the older NSP songs), and penis jokes. Which I feel like Sean Barret is taking away
This song prevented suicide.
This song becomes even more powerful when you think about Danny talking about his history of depression and OCD and overcoming it, so just thinking about him going to his past self and telling himself to keep his head up is so inspiring and beautiful.
Alexia Barrow it really is. This is such a beautiful song
I still think back to that fucking Wind Waker episode (19 now that I think about it) when he talked about throwing his prozac bottle into a lake in France. *shivers*
It feels a lot like that. I think it's cottoning on with people so much because ALL of us would like to be able to tell our younger selves that it's all going to be okay, even if we're not "there" just yet.
Honestly, I wish I was strong enough to just bounce back from tons of shit like Dan. He talks about all these things he went through, but here he is still bouncing around all happy and shit. Maybe that's an act, but I really hope he is just that happy.
you will be
So Danny got visited by Danny and went on to become Danny who then traveled back in time to inspire Danny.
