Yes! This song and the obscurity of the lyrics, yet the certainty in the way he delivers them just gives me Bowie vibes. To add to that, his onstage personas though not as distinct as one Ziggy Stardust they are still present.
Daniel, do you remember? You were in such a state The boys that wait Outside your house I've got your number And I’m not afraid to use it They’ll probably give it up to anyone they see, including me They’ll probably make up your mind as if you want them to Oh you Those boys tell you what to do all the time On and later on you said I could be just what I want And they said stop lying You were born to be an astronaut And you’ll do that or die tryin’ What a way to live and die And you wonder why Boys will cry Boys will be boys Don't you listen? Do as their mothers tell them If you know what’s good for you Behave yourself this time, for me If you know what’s good for you Don’t lay around complaining all day Oh my The boys that wait along the line, and they’re not crying On and later on they will tell you what went wrong And they’ll say stop lying And you were born to be an astronaut And you’ll do that or die trying There’d be nothing wrong with it Huh-Huh Oh you waste your time! Come waste mine! Oh my The boys that wait along the line, and they’re not crying On and later on you will tell them what went wrong And they’ll say you’re lying Well you were born an astronaut And you’ll do that or die trying There’d be nothing wrong with it
my guess is he's an alter ego- type character within declan himself. i assume daniel also comes up during the rest of the album lmao so we'll wait to see whether he's chaotic good or neutral evil yk
Declan said in an interview he was writing a song for zeros (I think it was be an astronaut) and he just needed a name for a character that was going to be in the songs and he just thought of Daniel randomly.
if you rearaange all the letters in declan's name it will make danCel and then if you replace the C with I, well that makes Daniel. and so maybe it's directed at himself, but also at everyone. this is what i initially thought
I remember when the first videos of him performing this live were posted years ago and I told myself I was going to wait until the official release to listen to it and I think it paid off
Today , I'm really sick, i've gotten cold. I sleep for hours but then I saw a notification of this...Now I'm feeling more alive :] Thank you Mckenna ,words can't describe how wonderful your music is
i was literally just listening to the live version of this, it's incredible, i am at loss for words the vocals, the bass, the drums, just everything- how can something be so perfect the studio version is so much more beautiful than i could have ever imagined. edit: also, apparently Daniel is just a name Declan though of while writing this(he said it in a Radio X interview) so the real question is *WHO IS EMILY?*
@@user-qj2wy for me, vocals are better, I love how the piano sounds, like more "natural" They gave it that touch to the song that sounds like an "old song" I don't how to explain it, but the live version makes me feel like that I'm listening a Beatles song or something

I remember long before “ What Do You Think About The Car?” Came out. I’m still here and nothing has changed other than the fact that he’s much more powerful with his voice and the confidence he holds. All the love. This man is a legend. People are missing out on his music, istg
Bowie ( first of all), Beatles, Elton John, Queen, Marc Bolan, Seventies... Yes, old fascinating atmospheres. Vibes that move me. But Declan is young, brand new. Here is, above all, his own peculiar talent!
This song has always been the one that hits home the hardest. I had always hoped for a studio version, and the way this maintained the same live performance feel and PASSION absolutely did not disappoint
Me going to see my father at the hospital listening to this song, Doctor saying we lost him! My mother screaming! I've never felt so heart broken!🤦♂️💔 RIP my beloved father!
Guys listen to declan's singles in this order. 1. Be an Astronaut 2. The Key to Life on Earth 3. Beautiful Faces 4. Daniel, Your Still a Child I always listened to them in order of release date, but this is the order they are in the album and it sounds so much better.
Conozco a Declan desde 2017 y en 2018 no pide ir al concierto en CDMX así lo ví en TH-cam y cuando escuché que cantó esta canción la ame, cuando anuncio el álbum estaba esperando los singles, y cuando salieron me decepcione un poco y más cuando retrasó el álbum, hoy por fin la escuché oficialmente y estoy muy emocionado porque ya sabía que sería mi canción favorita de este año antes de "escucharla".
These are the correct lyrics:) Daniel, do you remember? You were in such a state The boys that wait outside your house Have got your number And are not afraid to use it They'll probably give it out To anyone they see, including me They'll probably make up your mind As if you want them to Oh, you (Oh you) Those boys tell you what to do All the time On, then later on You said I could be just what I wanted They said you're lying (You're lying) For you were born to be an astronaut And you'll do that or die trying What a way to live and die And you wonder why boys will cry Boys will be boys, they should listen Do as their mothers tell them If you know what's good for you Behave yourself this time for me If you know what's good for you Don't lay around complaining all day Oh my, the boys that wait are on the line And they're not crying On and later on, you will tell them what went wrong And they'll say you're lying (You're lying) For you were born to be an astronaut And you'll do that or die trying There'd be nothing wrong with it, oh Oh, you waste your time C-C-Come waste mine! Oh my, the boys that wait are on the line And they're not crying On and later on, you will tell them what went wrong And they'll say you're lying But you were born an astronaut To do it or die trying There'd be nothing wrong with it, ah!
all his music is golden.
Facts
Absolutely
Certainly
emilyyyy, yea
(im so sorry its been stuck in my head since zeros came out) 😭😭
@@carol.mp4 SAME AHHHAHA
🅱️EAN ASTRONAUT
hahah yeees
He really had the opportunity to name it that and keep on with the Bean branding but he just let it slide smh at Dec
I don’t think about Elton or Paul, I think about David. And I'm happy.
* but Declan is Declan: always new and original
no
👌👌👌
this song is the love child of David Bowie and Elton John.
I couldn't agree more
it’s fucking perfect
Lol I thought the same
RIGHT?!?!?!
Lmao I thought so too
dec doesn’t have one bad song, change my mind.
i see harold as your pfp 😼 but dec truly doesn’t
trick question, you can’t
Amaka 08 correct ;)
"Daniel, You're Still A Child"... Haha
The only one i can't like is beatiful faces
BRUH HE LITERALLY IS GIVING US MASTERPIECE AFTER MASTERPIECE
This isn't a new song
@@bavieolie3331 yess ik it's the studio version
And he is still so underrated
This feels like it's so Bowie inspired. What. A. Tune.
This song has a different style.I get a vintage vibe.
I think it has something of Bowie's songs
it feels like a Queen song!
Feels like late beatles era to early bowie and elton john kind of vibe tbh
I stg its impossible for Declan to release a bad song like its just bop after bop
Right Declan and Mitski never miss a goddamn beat
@@filo4854 and cavetown
I feel like my parents probably felt when they found David Bowie
Holy shit that's exactly what I was tinking about I swear
AWWWW WAIT AW-
Yes! This song and the obscurity of the lyrics, yet the certainty in the way he delivers them just gives me Bowie vibes. To add to that, his onstage personas though not as distinct as one Ziggy Stardust they are still present.
Wow
OMG YESSS
This is amazing, it feels Bowie inspired without trying to be Bowie. honestly a credit to Declan how amazing this song is
That's exactly what I thought. It's amazing
PreciSELY! lol he takes influence from other past great artists, but he still remains original to himself :) its a wonderful balance innit?
Zara Malik I replied my reply before reading yours and... I think I actually just parroted you lmaO
sorry, which Bowie?
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SONG FOR SO LONG FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY
OMG SAME
YESSS I HEARD IT IN CONCERT IM SO GLAD ITS FINALLY OUTTT
Daniel, do you remember?
You were in such a state
The boys that wait
Outside your house
I've got your number
And I’m not afraid to use it
They’ll probably give it up to anyone they see, including me
They’ll probably make up your mind as if you want them to
Oh you
Those boys tell you what to do all the time
On and later on you said I could be just what I want
And they said stop lying
You were born to be an astronaut
And you’ll do that or die tryin’
What a way to live and die
And you wonder why
Boys will cry
Boys will be boys
Don't you listen?
Do as their mothers tell them
If you know what’s good for you
Behave yourself this time, for me
If you know what’s good for you
Don’t lay around complaining all day
Oh my
The boys that wait along the line, and they’re not crying
On and later on they will tell you what went wrong
And they’ll say stop lying
And you were born to be an astronaut
And you’ll do that or die trying
There’d be nothing wrong with it
Huh-Huh
Oh you waste your time!
Come waste mine!
Oh my
The boys that wait along the line, and they’re not crying
On and later on you will tell them what went wrong
And they’ll say you’re lying
Well you were born an astronaut
And you’ll do that or die trying
There’d be nothing wrong with it
bless your soul dude
god bless u
damn thanks a bunch i was looking for this !
not all heroes wear capes
U deserve a BOW DOWN
Until I see a video of this mysterious “Daniel”, I’m just gonna pretend he’s singing about me sksks 😂😂
HAHAHAHA
Sameee aha
Same 😂

DUDE I'VE BEEN WAITING 2 YEARS FOR THIS PIECEOF ART
Ola jafet
Cuando sacas el video de. IN THE MIDLLE
FRIJOLES
Declan es gei vdd
daniel’s back? who is he?
Himself
my guess is he's an alter ego- type character within declan himself.
i assume daniel also comes up during the rest of the album lmao so we'll wait to see whether he's chaotic good or neutral evil yk
He explained Daniel in a recent interview on Radio X

i was literally just listening to the live version of this,
it's incredible, i am at loss for words
the vocals, the bass, the drums, just everything- how can something be so perfect
the studio version is so much more beautiful than i could have ever imagined.
edit: also, apparently Daniel is just a name Declan though of while writing this(he said it in a Radio X interview) so the real question is
*WHO IS EMILY?*
I'm a little disappointed, for me the live version sounds better

I can’t believe i live in the same era as Declan, it’s so incredible glam rock may be not dead
dec really doesn’t get enough recognition, HE’S LITERALLY THE BEST ARTIST OUT THERE!!!
@@katelynbuckley7071 I think that'll happen without your help tbh
Not the best he is one of the best example cavetown is also really good and so is half alive
Rikki Beard cavetown is okay but got boring and half alive are shit
RIGHT
This song is the ultimate "I really hate that you left my life but I will still push on and be great without" vibe!!!!!!!!!
I've recently become a fan of Declan and his music. I am sooo excited for the album, all songs have been really amazing so far😊💜
Urgh me too and I’m obsessed, didn’t actually realise how many songs if his I already loved until I put a name to the voice ya know
@@Kay-iz1wk yeah i know😁
I’m so happy you like his music many people are starting to listen to his music and I’m so happy for him he deserves all the attention!!!

Declan is perfect, omg, this song is gold
Havent heard it yet but i know its gonna be awesome
This seems like a song you’ve already heard, but u know that u didn’t
It’s just perfect
I HAVE already heard it, a live version of it aired about 2 years ago, haha
FancyRat HOLY SHI-
i knew every lyric lmao
Tonia Milan yeah I’ve been listening to a live version of this for a good while lmaO so for some of us... we actually really do already know it XD
Pained Painter I know lol
I’ve been listening it to
But the first time I listened it felt like this
I remember long before “ What Do You Think About The Car?” Came out. I’m still here and nothing has changed other than the fact that he’s much more powerful with his voice and the confidence he holds.
All the love. This man is a legend. People are missing out on his music, istg
who dares to give a dislike to this MASTERPIECE?
This man has no bad songs
Declan makes songs that sound so familiar, yet you’ve never heard them before
Wait, it's all beans and astronauts?
*Always has been.*
Unus annus is everywhere! LOVE IT!
always has *bean?*
@@kathrynbragg9714 always has bean
astronaut
declan mckenna is one of the most talented artists i’ve heard before and he never fails to make a bad song. i love him :)
The fact that this was WORTH THE WAIT, and the fact Declan doesn’t have a bad song.
THANK YOU FOR THIS DECLAN YOUR MUSIC IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN 2020
Okay i know this is REALLY random but you should listen to "greer". I promise u won't regret it 🙂
Elizabeth Ahaha wow you literally just handed me a gem thank you very much you've got great taste 😭😭😳
this artist is pure fireeee
actually never have been more in love with an artist. never not liked a song, always and forever be my favorite
Can you even understand how many years i've waited for this song????
Probably is just me but I'm picking up Paul McCartney/ the Beatles vibes especially with Declans voice.
I heard his Bowie showing. This almost sounds like Superman or Life On Mars. Beatles is a good comparison too
as soon as i heard the piano/keyboard at 0:27 that's what i thought too :O
@@rivaldealer__ yeah people also saying Bowie and a little bit of Elton john with the piano noises ....
Declan reminds me of Paul Mccartney so much 🥺🥺🥺
He likes/listens those two (and more) so I mean,, it’d be natural for him to take after em a bit :)
Declan McKenna never disappoints 🥰❤️❤️
FINALLY. THIS SONG HAS BEEN KNOWN TO ME BUT WITH NO STUDIO VERSION ANYWHERE. OH YM GOD.
OOOOOHHH THE VOCALS
OH MY GOSHHHHH I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SONG FOR SO LONGGGG
Bowie ( first of all), Beatles, Elton John, Queen, Marc Bolan, Seventies... Yes, old fascinating atmospheres. Vibes that move me. But Declan is young, brand new. Here is, above all, his own peculiar talent!
This song has always been the one that hits home the hardest. I had always hoped for a studio version, and the way this maintained the same live performance feel and PASSION absolutely did not disappoint
all of your sounds make me feel alive
When Declan releases a new song and you drop everything you do to listen to it
I listen to this religiously
THIS IS GOING TO BE SO AMAZING IN CONCERT I CANT WAIT FOR THE TOUR
The production on this track is outstanding
I loved the live version and I still do. But I love this one too. Omg, both versions of the same song are incredible! I love this ❤️✨
In every song of Declan’s I feel personally called out and understood.
Is beautiful and perfect, absolutely everything
the old music vibes this has are so good omg
What a tune Declan, absolute banger :) Gutted I could get tickets for the Glasgow shows
Heard it live March 2018 and I can’t believe it’s FINALLY out!!
haven’t listened to it yet but still, ✨perfection✨
this is just my favorite
I’m not daniel but I remember listening to this song when it was unreleased
this man truly does not have 1 bad song. can not wait for this album
it is impossible for one of his songs not to slap i stg
this just makes me feel so good
Ahhhhh i cant wait for the 21st !!!
Its gonna be great
@@MightBeMilla brb gunna cry

GUYS ITS SO GOOD
I fell in love, I love your job Declan. You are amazing!!!
Please go back to Mexico.
2:13 i was expecting for more "AAaaaAaaAA" 😔👍🏻
me too!!! like in the live version but i still love this
why is every song perfect, like literal perfection
This is giving me vibes
That line " You were born to be an astronaut, and you'll do that or die trying " always inspires me
I thought I’ll tell my kids about the Beatles first but I’ve change my mind to declan
He is literally a musical genius
Guys listen to declan's singles in this order.
1. Be an Astronaut
2. The Key to Life on Earth
3. Beautiful Faces
4. Daniel, Your Still a Child
I always listened to them in order of release date, but this is the order they are in the album and it sounds so much better.

This song is great Dec and although I’m upset that the album has been pushed to sep 4 release date, I know it will be worth it and I can’t wait
Already my favorite song from Declan!!
Só posso dizer que mais uma vez,Declan fazendo as melhores músicas que já ouvi
i remember him singing this song in 2018 in one of my concerts I’m so glad he finally released it !!
YOU WENT TO HIS CONCERT? LUCKY BASTARD
Omg I’ve been waiting months for this and it’s finally here! Aaahhhhh
This man never makes a bad song he is saving 2020!
can't wait for this albumm i just now every song will be amazing
I'm crying, I love this song, it's what excited me most about zeros. ✨
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
declan is just brilliant, bop after bop after bop absolute king
idk why my fav part is "they say stop lying" ahh
I am so glad there is a studio version of this song you have no idea how long I’ve waited.
Ok, Daniel
Now you're getting on my nerves
music from another planet.
YES YES YES
You are DEFINITELY my favourite solo artist, also, come to Mexico again please
the 11 dislikes are from people who died trying to be astronauts
that song has some serious queen vibes
These are the correct lyrics:)
Daniel, do you remember?
You were in such a state
The boys that wait outside your house
Have got your number
And are not afraid to use it
They'll probably give it out
To anyone they see, including me
They'll probably make up your mind
As if you want them to
Oh, you (Oh you)
Those boys tell you what to do
All the time
On, then later on
You said I could be just what I wanted
They said you're lying (You're lying)
For you were born to be an astronaut
And you'll do that or die trying
What a way to live and die
And you wonder why boys will cry
Boys will be boys, they should listen
Do as their mothers tell them
If you know what's good for you
Behave yourself this time for me
If you know what's good for you
Don't lay around complaining all day
Oh my, the boys that wait are on the line
And they're not crying
On and later on, you will tell them what went wrong
And they'll say you're lying (You're lying)
For you were born to be an astronaut
And you'll do that or die trying
There'd be nothing wrong with it, oh
Oh, you waste your time
C-C-Come waste mine!
Oh my, the boys that wait are on the line
And they're not crying
On and later on, you will tell them what went wrong
And they'll say you're lying
But you were born an astronaut
To do it or die trying
There'd be nothing wrong with it, ah!
I definitely born to appreciate ever song of declan
i have chills :) i luv that i can hear who you're influenced by in every song you put out
I've been waiting for this song ever since his last tour when he sang it live 🥺🥺💖💖
I LOVE THIS WITH ALL MY HEARTTTYT
Just gets better and better every release, absolute best artist out there right now
