Dan Sultan says his new song ‘Do You See Me?’ was 20 years in the making.
“‘Do You See Me’ is a song that I began writing when I was 17 years old,” Dan says. “I had written the outro chords and lyrics and felt it was really beautiful at the time. For one reason or another it wasn’t until earlier this year that I actually built a song around it. The song is about recognition, acceptance and acknowledgment or lack thereof in some cases.
“Like the song itself I guess you never know when things may fall into place…. It’s about beautiful things and acts being their own reward and finding peace in the ‘doing’ regardless of the outcome. As it turns out it’s very fitting that ‘Do You See Me’ took 20 years to write.”
Watch Dan perform the song at Bakehouse Studios in Melbourne:
Dan is off to Paris for a performance at the Paralympics this week before starting his Australian tour in Muswellbrook on 14 September.
