Crafting songs on a three E-string guitar to match his voice, Daniel played as many shows as he possibly could in his then home of Tacoma. In the summer of 2009 his path crossed once again with producer Buddy Ross (the hip hop pseudonym for Josiah Sherman). Having met years prior while working on other records, Daniel knew that fate had connected them again. The two worked through dozens of songs and by summer's end Buddy Ross had joined Motopony, recruiting Brantley Cady (guitar), Mike Notter (guitar) and Forrest Mauvais (percussionist) to round out the live band.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

God damn girl, your wounds are beautiful
God damn girl, your wounds are beautiful
God damn girl, your wounds are beautiful
God damn girl, your wounds are beautiful
And if god damns
Then god damn
God damn girl, your wounds are beautiful
God damn girl, your wounds are beautiful

You show me why love is critical
You show me why love is critical
And if god . . .
Then god . . .
And if god plans
Then god planned me
God damn girl, your wounds are beautiful
God damn girl, my love is pitiful
You show me why love is critical
You show me why love is pitiful
And if god damn
Then god damn
And if god damns
God damn me
God damn girl, your wounds are beautiful
Why do I feel so unusual?
Monsters are so impersonal
God damn girl, your wounds are beautiful
And if God's hands
Are man's hands

Then God damn
Then God damn me

Overall Meaning

The song "God Damn Girl" by Motopony is a haunting yet beautiful exploration of the concept of love in the face of suffering. The repeated refrain of "God damn girl, your wounds are beautiful" can be interpreted both as a lament and a celebration of the scars that make us who we are. The singer is in awe of the pain that his lover has endured and how it has shaped her into the person she is today.

The song seems to be a meditation on the idea that love is only truly meaningful when it is tested by adversity. The lines "You show me why love is critical/You show me why love is pitiful" suggest that it is only when we confront our own weaknesses and imperfections that love begins to reveal its true power. The repeated use of the phrase "god damn" throughout the song can be seen as both an expression of anger and a plea for divine intervention, a recognition that sometimes our own limitations make it difficult to love as fully as we would like.

Overall, "God Damn Girl" is a powerful and moving song that invites the listener to reflect on the complexities of love and the beauty that can be found in the midst of pain and suffering.
