Daniel (Bat for Lashes song)

"Daniel" is a song by English recording artist Bat for Lashes, from her second studio album, Two Suns.

Ira Wolf Tuton from Yeasayer provided the bass lines for the song and Khan did the rest of the instrumentation herself.

[4] The single's cover features Khan with an image of the character Daniel LaRusso, from the film The Karate Kid, painted on her back.

I love songs like Pat Benatar's 'Love Is a Battlefield,' like when you sing them, you want to be leaning out the window of a car with the stars shining.

Both synthy and mystical-sounding, and filled with poetic lyrics about "marble movie skies" and "the smell of cinders and rain," it could almost pass for a lost Stevie Nicks track from the early eighties.

"[6] NME said the song "relives ghostly memories of her first love and sounds like Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon" filtered through the weeping circuits of a broken-hearted android.

Khan gives a pleased expression while being caressed, possibly thinking it was Daniel, the man she is singing about in the song.

Download 7" Promo 12" British singer Will Young covered the song and released it on 26 April 2021 as the lead single from his eighth studio album Crying on the Bathroom Floor (2021).
