« What an incredible voice – the video title STILL didn’t prepare me for what I was in store for, and on top of that, he seems to be a genuine great guy too. It’s a great start to 2011 to hear that he already has a job now, good stuff humanity! » – DXLR8R
« I’m a producer in Hollywood and I will give him a gig. Someone put me in contact with him. I am producing an animation series and I have a good spot for him. » – recshopdan
Une voix dans la rue…
From Hypebot: “In the beginning, Daniel [Mustard] was a homeless alcoholic street musician. He came into the Opie & Anthony studios for their annual Homeless Shopping Spree. In passing, he said that he was a musician. The studio staff, being curious and having no idea what to expect, found him a guitar. Reportedly, he performed an original song that stunned the entire staff. Then they asked him to play a cover.”
Then, the video went viral, Daniel entered a rehabilitation program and was offered a record deal by Story Records. His first CD is going to be released very soon. Nice Christmas story.
Voici une belle histoire de Noël qui en plus d’être magique est vraie. Daniel « Mustard » était un musicien de rue alcoolique. Un jour, il est entré dans les studios Opie & Anthony pour récupérer des bons d’achat. Au passage, il a dit être musicien. Du coup, quelques petits curieux du studio lui ont trouvé une guitare pour qu’il puisse jouer un morceau. Au passage, ils l’ont filmé et ils ont mis la vidéo sur YouTube. La vidéo est devenue virale en une nuit. Un an plus tard, Daniel Mustard est hébergé temporairement via un programme de réhabiliation, une maison de disque lui a fait signer un contrat, et son disque devrait bientôt sortir.

Lyrics of / paroles de Under Pressure, by Queen & David Bowie
Mm ba ba de
Um bum ba de
Um bu bu bum da de
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure – that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da – that’s o.k.
It’s the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming ‘Let me out’
Pray tomorrow – gets me higher
Pressure on people – people on streets
Day day de mm hm
Da da da ba ba
O.k.
Chippin’ around – kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
Um bo bo
Be lap
People on streets – ee da de da de
People on streets – ee da de da de da de da
It’s the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming ‘Let me out’
Pray tomorrow – gets me higher high high
Pressure on people – people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don’t work
Keep coming up with love
but it’s so slashed and torn
Why – why – why ?
Love love love love love
Insanity laughs under pressure we’re cracking
Can’t we give ourselves one more chance
Why can’t we give love that one more chance
Why can’t we give love give love give love give love
give love give love give love give love give love
‘Cause love’s such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure
