Lyrics:
Strange face, with your eyes
So pale and sincere
Underneath you know well
You have nothing to fear
For the dreams that came to you when so young
They told of a life
Where spring is sprung
So forget this cruel world
Where I belong
I'll just sit and wait
And sing my song
But while the earth sinks to its grave
You sail to the sky
On the crest of a wave
(Song published by Blue Raincoat Music)

As a Nick Drake fan of over 30 years standing, I have to say that this is everything a cover version should aim to be.... wonderful.

@chrisjones5341 Год назад

This is possibly the greatest cover version I've ever heard - it's deeply affecting, drawing out the beauty of the original song while highlighting what a brilliant band Fontaines D.C. are. Drake's words sung in Grian Chatten's uncharacteristically softened Skerries accent sound magical.

Fontaines covering Nick Drake has to be the best thing I’ve heard in ages. Fantastic cover!

Fontaines DC are the best band to come out of Ireland since U2. There strength is in their musical talent, simplicity, superb rhythm section, Conor C and Carlos and a super front man who captivates the audience. 5 poets makes a help in writing those superb lyrics. Can't wait for the new album!!

I got in a Taxi once. The driver didn't look like a talker. He said he liked the way people sang with accents. Asked if I'd heard of Fontaine DC. He looked at me in the rear view mirror with eyes as sexy as this song. I spent the next few weeks listening to F.DC.

So sadly poignant. Is it agreeable that Nick Drake would have survived his depression, he would have been the equal of likes of Gordon Lightfoot, Bob Dylan, John Prine and the many other singer songwriters who lived into old age? Please always lend and ear or shoulder to our sisters and brothers in troubled times. Thank you Fontaines DC for a well done rendering of a somber and heartfelt song.

Love to hear Fontaines stretch out & make Drakes song a banger, particularly love the sound of the Eastern sounding strings at about the 4 minute mark, wonderful

So many cover versions offer little more than a lazy retread of the original, but not this one. Fontaines D.C. have worked as hard with this wonderful song as they would have done with an original song of their own. This is the stuff of true greatness and I refer you to the words of Chris Jones just below.

I'm hearing Maureen Tucker on drums.

@guitarbyte

240 looks just like Syd Barrett.

@patnelson2585 Год назад

I don't always listen to Fontaines D.C. but when I do so do my neighbors.

@pauldechering7236 Год назад

When one of the loudest yet so lyrical talented bands cover one of the most quiet yet so lyrical talented artists the outcome just has to be mind blowing. Fontaines D.C. never disappoint, no matter what they release it's always insanely great.

I just discovered nick drakes second album yesterday.

@joanduthie1689 Год назад

It makes me so happy to see Nick Drake's music ve adopted and interpreted on such a large scale by so many talented artists.

@UncleAnaesthesia Год назад

I am so glad a new generation of people is going to discover Nick because of this new tribute/cover album.

@alician7880 Год назад

Wonderful cover. Nick drake never got the recognition he deserved. Glad a new generation is getting introduced to him

@b.wilder1663 Год назад

I love Nick Drake, I love Fontaines D.C. This is wonderful.

@andyshaw9497 Год назад

Absolutely superb version. When the drums and bass kick in again at

@MrZipdang Год назад

Wow! This is stunningly beautiful! You’d have to think that Nick would be happy with this version of his song.

@thecitizenjoan Год назад

This is really Gorgeous. I don't normally use gorgeous to describe music but the amount of layers in the song you hear with headphones is just really incredible.
