Distinguishing characteristics of the band include frontman Daniel Smith's squeaky falsetto and sometimes nasally vocals. The band also incorporates visuals into some of its performance such as matching costumes and encouraging audience participation of clap-alongs, hand gestures and dance moves. Some appearances have seen Daniel playing a guitar while inside a costume of a ten foot tree bearing nine fruits of the Holy Spirit.[1]
Members of Danielson Famile portray a proud DIY attitude within many aspects of their work. All of Danielson's album artwork is done by Daniel himself, with the exception of the construction paper inserts of the two Tri-Danielson albums which were done by Chris. The animation in their music videos for the songs Headz in the Cloudz and Rubbernecker feature stop motion animation done by Chris. The band members' uniforms begin as Daniel's vision and then are designed by Megan. Although all the girls participate in the sewing, the driving force behind the construction is Marian, their mother.
People's Partay
Danielson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No charge at the door for
Folks with costumes + slo-ro balloons.
Party pizzas bonfires all around the pool.
It is a surprise to see you.
Silly string + streamers.
A nature walk for seniors,
Let us move this shindig to the street.
To compete and steal their peeps.
Please join us.
The ordinance we'll violate,
This block party will be great.
I am an event planner by trade,
Come join us + dance all day.
Now let's form a parade
And march to town.
Let's all conversate, recreate, celebrate.
Party the world + welcome you home.
We got games to break the ice.
Party supplies it's paradise.
Get down at the buffet, don't delay.
It's an informal pajama potluck day.
Hey, what can I say...you're welcome.
This bash is so elephantine,
Let's move it to the field by the rail line.
Then people from all around these lands
Can come and have a sweet + sour grand ol' time.
This pre-party's just getting started.
This place is nuts + outta control.
Joy is jumping through the goal.
Come get wine + milk and bring a bowl.
Saved the best for last 'cause it's our goal
To spoil you with sweetness.
