On Andrew Denton’s Enough Rope in 2004, Daniel spoke of the overwhelming feeling of fame: That fame they had, at what, 15 years old? I can’t imagine. I believe Miss You Love was written about the pressures of stardom Daniel (and probably Chris Joannou and Ben Gillies) felt at such a young age. But I couldn’t stop doing it and I felt like a slave to it.” Neon Ballroom in that time where I hated music, really everything about it, I hated it. ![]() There’s a sense of love and despair because of the adoration from others.ĭaniel said that at the time of writing Neon Ballroom, he was in a dark place and he hated music. Miss You Love was of course my favourite song, The lyrics are beautifully sad. I loved the darkness, and could relate to some of the isolation Daniel Johns wrote and sang about. You may recall in this blog entry that Neon Ballroom was one of the albums that influenced me during 1999. He said ‘aren’t you going to ask how Chris is too?’ – I was very embarrassed. I once met Ben Gillies when he played in Tambalane. I really admire how he has overcome his adversities. I think Daniel Johns is so creative and articulate, and damn good looking to boot. I am not keen on Young Modern nor Frogstomp apart from Tomorrow. I think Daniel Johns looked his best in this period (despite his unfortunate illnesses of anorexia and arthritis) and their music was the most imaginative and beautiful.I love the metaphors in the lyrics, the theatrics of the music particularly with the Neon Ballroom and Diorama albums. It starts at Freakshow and stops at Diorama. ![]() My love for their music is very specific. I pretty much like their old stuff better than their new stuff. I also love with equal parts: Ana’s Song, Emotion Sickness, Without You, Across The Night, Cemetery and The Greatest View. Miss You Love is maybe my top favourite Silverchair song, and up there with favourite songs of all time. The other day when I was searching for a video of Silverchair’s Freak song on YouTube, I came across their song Miss You Love. ![]()
