Perhaps Nick' soul has reincarnated in you. Beautiful guitar playing. Everytime I listen to it I wait for the violins to appear, but they never do. Congratulations.
Mind blowing Tobias heard so many covers of this song best so far you are Chanling nicks voice you should tour and play his material drake fans like me would love it!
@KingofRoath I think you're right, it's CFCFCF. I don't usually mind those details, I'm sorry. For me it's still BEBEBE tuned a half/full step down/up. I tune it by ear individually for my taste at the time, so it often varies. I rather just tell the best known tuning then. I'm still glad you enjoyed my try of course. Thank you for listening and leaving a comment!
Utterly beautiful! I was looking for some original Nick Drake recordings and thought 'oh no, not some cover version!' when I found myself on your page, but I was spellbound from the moment you began to play and my jaw dropped when you began to sing! So moving!
Love it! I think this is how we'd all like to remember ND. Organtic - no frills. Just him and a guitar. Thank you for posting - it's exquisite. cheers, julie
I almost skipped this in the Nick Drake mix because it's a cover, but I didn't, and it's quite nicely done. It's rare to hear a voice that actually suits Nick Drake material.
I've had such a great time listening to your Nick Drake covers... I had always wanted to hear them with just guitar, and I did get a little emotional finally hearing your versions! You sound so similar to him that it's almost like Nick is back for just a few minutes.
As you can probably tell by my profile picture, I am a great admirer of Nick Drake. It's almost strange watching you play, seeing as there's no recorded footage of Drake himself playing the guitar, but your rendition of what has to be one of my favourite songs of all time is the closest I'm going to come to watching him performing. Not many covers of his songs are worth listening to, in my opinion, but this is a major exception to that rule. Really good
@joeburton77 Thank you Joe! I'm glad you liked it :) They're just great. For the audio processing I simply use a Macbook with Garageband. I'll try! take care
you channeled Nick , like he was living thru you , Im very impressed , from a old recording engineer / musician who has a band in Roswell New Mexico , keep up the good licks , ...
Wow, tis most excellent! I was actually making some pasta while listing to a mix and only discovered that it was a cover bc I went to turn it up towards the end--otherwise I would have totally thought it was Mr. Drake...thanks! very much for your genuine appreciation of his music :)
This is exactly how it should be played - stripped back. You focus on the lyrics so much better this way. I'm checking out your website- some great music there.
Flawless. My favourite Nicke Drake song. I should really stop being lazy and learn this, and also try learning to pick this good. Although I don't have any nails like you do lol
