One of [[Daniel Larson|Daniel's]] most pursued life-long aspirations is to become a world-famous singer. With the help of his mentor, [[Bob Proctor]], and occasionally [[Management|others]], Daniel has been able to produce multiple songs, although most of his [[discography]] has not been officially released. As of 2024, Daniel has published three official songs: ''Roaring Thunder'' (2021)'', Something More'' (2022) and ''Merry Go Round'' (2023). | One of [[Daniel Larson|Daniel's]] most pursued life-long aspirations (and delusions) is to become a world-famous singer.

The release of his music doesn't come without controversy, as it is believed that Daniel (or rather, Bob) simply buy the rights to a pre-existing song, providing nothing original except for vocals. It is also speculated that Daniel has not truly written any of the lyrics to his songs, given his limited vocabulary, which is most likely true given that most of Daniel's non-studio recorded songs are made by [[Management|managers]] who tell him what to say over a beat. The truth behind these allegations cannot be confirmed at this time. | The release of his music doesn't come without controversy, as it is believed that Daniel (or rather, Bob) simply buy the rights to a pre-existing song, providing nothing original except for vocals.

Daniel's interest in music can be tracked back to his childhood, | Daniel's interest in music can be tracked back to his childhood. In his childhood, Daniel would be enrolled in several [[Musical Theater|musical theater productions]]. It in unclear who put him in these programs, but it is likely that his grandmother did, as she was the one who held custody over him during this time. In his CV, he mentions receiving voice lessons from someone named "Dulcimer," although it is unclear who that is.<ref>[[:File:DanielMusicalPaper.png]]</ref> | ||
It is also worth noting that his mother, [[Elisabeth Shimer]], had a keen interest in music. On her YouTube channel, she would share and post several covers of music. And just like her son, she shared delusions of having fans, although these delusions do not appear to be as severe as Daniel's. It is highly likely that this may have rubbed off on Daniel, as Elisabeth seemed to have an intense wants to be famous and have fans, going as far as attending photoshoots as if she was a real celebrity. | |||

Secondly, Daniel shows an inability to understand the mood or context of songs. A good songwriter uses lyrics that reflect the music and paint an emotional picture, which Daniel is incapable of. This is most notably shown in Daniel's song, ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSjmFJNj3DY Work],''<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSjmFJNj3DY</ref> where its themes are seemingly all over the place, switching from being a partial cover of ''Work'' by Rihanna, before abruptly switching to sexual innuendos and asking the listener to twerk. | Secondly, Daniel shows an inability to understand the mood or context of songs.

As talked about before, Daniel has a problem with repetition. In his song, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcA-kXaTt88 ''I Love Peanuts''], | As talked about before, Daniel has a problem with repetition. In his song, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcA-kXaTt88 ''I Love Peanuts''], the aforementioned phrase is repeated multiple times, lyrics barely ever changing. This is also shown in the song ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI8Z65vfuXI STD Soaps],'' wherein Daniel repeats the phrase ''"I got the STD soaps, that's why we're cleaning, that's why we're shovin', that's why we're coking up"''. Lastly, in the song ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaP9-M57yRs Birthday Boy],'' Daniel repeats the lyrics ''"I'm a birthday boy, I'm just working all day, and working all night"'', (which is quite ironic as Daniel has not worked a day in his life) along with the lyrics "It's the start of my birthday celebration". This would be fine if the instrumentals Daniels "sang" over weren't so repetitive, and if he actually changed up the lyrics once in a while. | ||
Even more, Daniel's attempts at figurative language fall flat. In ''[[Gang Life]],'' he boldly states "''The bitch fell in love with me, pull her like a lasso, I nut on her face, turn that shit into a Picasso"''. In ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UD9LpkxHbw Running From My Past],'' | Even more, Daniel's attempts at figurative language fall flat.

In ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UD9LpkxHbw Running From My Past],'' Daniel sings, ''"All the sins that move against me, move past, moving past"'' and ''"I carry it up, like a past that I just forgot, and I carry you, like a weight on my jeans"'' which really begs the question as to what any of this means. | ||
As for Daniel's other songs, they are mostly him covering already existing songs, although Daniel insists that these are serious compositions and never once implies that the lyrics are in no way written by him. Most notably, Daniel's cover of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fKcf0BpwNY Wild Hearts] by [https://www.youtube.com/@KeithUrbanVEVO Keith Urban] (which was subsequently leaked by [[Flexburger]]), and his cover of [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q8AL01H5sJk Sex with Me]<ref>https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q8AL01H5sJk</ref> by Rihanna, although the only notable change are the backing tracks/instrumentals. | As for Daniel's other songs, they are mostly him covering already existing songs, although Daniel insists that these are serious compositions and never once implies that the lyrics are in no way written by him.

Daniel's idea of making music is going to a recording studio in person and recording there, often deluded by ideas that he is a famous singer-songwriter, therefore he deserves to sing in a recording studio. This is odd, considering the huge losses in profit that come from it. More money (that [[Bob Proctor]] is spending, by the way) is spent booking and paying for these appointments than money earned from sales of Daniel's songs, which Daniel does not seem to understand at all, demanding this setup apart from others. Daniel is seemingly unaware of the incredible leaps and bounds that music recording has advanced and hasn't noticed that there are plenty of good multitrack sound editors available for free, and that going to a recording studio in person is not at all necessary. | Daniel's idea of making music is going to a recording studio in person and recording there, often deluded by ideas that he is a famous singer-songwriter, therefore he deserves to sing in a recording studio.

Even when Daniel does not record his music in a studio, the quality is abysmal as Daniel uses his phone (which are often cheap models for less than 200 dollars) to record himself singing, even though it's extremely easy to record and make music on your phone. | Even when Daniel does not record his music in a studio, the quality is abysmal as Daniel uses his phone (which are often cheap models for less than 200 dollars) to record himself singing, even though it's extremely easy to record and make music on your phone. | ||
There is always a huge quality loss when Daniel attempts to record on his phone, the audio being extremely hard to hear, most notably seen in ''Running from my Past,''<ref name=":0" /> where Daniel is barely audible. The sound mixing on these songs could also use some work, as at most times, the instrumentals and backing tracks are always louder than Daniel's own voice. | There is always a huge quality loss when Daniel attempts to record on his phone, the audio being extremely hard to hear, most notably seen in ''Running from my Past,''<ref name=":0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UD9LpkxHbw</ref> where Daniel is barely audible.
