Nick Cave and Daniel Johnston

[Farmer Williams]

Listening to Despair Came Knocking from Hi How Are You, I noticed that the very first verses, "Despair came knocking at my door, I let it him for a while" is very close to Nick Cave´s 1993 song Let Love In, in which he says "Despair and deception: love´s ugly little twins. They came knocking on my door, I let them in". Despite I´m a huge Cave fan, I´ve never heard him saying anything about Daniel music, has anyone?

Nope...can't say that I have.

Listen to the opening few seconds of Paul McCartney's latest CD, Driving Rain, and tell me you don't think it sounds like "Despair...".

And don't worry, I won't try to tie this all in with Wings' "Let Em In"...!
