From the Morning - Nick Drake (Cover) 

You are a living tribute to the beloved Nick Drake. Such talent as you have is rare. Thank you and take care.

This is the closet thing I think we'll ever see to watching Nick Drake perform live. Thank you for making such a great cover. Beautiful Work.

You've really breathed new life into these songs. So long as we have the ears to listen, true music can never truly die. Thank you for helping keep Nick Drake alive on the internet.

This is the song that breaks my heart the most. At first you think it's just a passable 2 & a half minute repeated phrase without all the arrangements of his other works. But the more I listened to it, the more special it became. It has very non-direct chords for that peaceful sound, & he plays them all rather low at the risk of sounding muddy. But I think he did that to keep it smooth & serene. Gone are the ricochet plucks he often flicked to the back of the room to keep his songs dynamic, & instead he is saying one long lasting goodbye. And now we rise, & we are everywhere. I'm so glad this is one of the songs Tobias here decided to give to the world. It's perfect.

I just listened to the original on Spotify and then searched for covers on here. I don't think I'll bother searching anymore. Great work.

if i had to choose somebody who in my opinion has done one of the best nick drake covers in regards to both vocals and guitar. it would definitely be you.

@boondoggle6 I'm glad you enjoyed my renditions! Thank you for listening and commenting :) Much appreciated

i regard anyone who can sing and play this simultaneously to be a genius

It’s really so sad how Nick Drake is criminally underrated! His sound was so unique! Pink Moon is in my Top 3 albums of all time!

First finger style song I ever learned. Still one of my favourites.

Every now and than I come back to your Nike Drake covers and it makes me feel good. Works better than pills

nick is still alive! this was beautiful

@unclealbert72 Thank you :) i'm really glad you enjoyed it! Much appreciated, as always. Thanks for stopping by. best regards

@KyleRay92 Thank you for leaving a comment :) Much appreciated. Glad you liked it! I think i covered a fair amount of his songs so far ;) There are many videos left in my archive to hear. Some of the recordings are audio only, so you may not recognize them in the list at first. But I'm not done yet of course :) There are many more to come. Such compliments keep me going. Means a lot. Thanks. all the best

Thanks for listening. The guitar is tuned to BEBEBE. With the capo it would be CFCFCF. kind regards

@Auto2112Rush Thank you for listening and sharing your thoughts :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@goobersmusic I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate the kind words

Your renditions of Nick Drake's songs are a joy to listen to and most especially "From the Morning". Your guitar playing is always mesmerizing and your voice is your own, which is also a great part of your videos. Sad it took me this long to look on You Tube for Nick Drake's songs.

@PetrichorDay I'm really glad you liked my try! It's a Zoom H2 Recorder. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment :)

@LibertySole Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate your comment. It's a rather unknown european brand I think; a GEWA Tennessee N 8 OM.

I just went through all of your nick drake covers and I feel I like I owe you a big thank you brother. Truly magnificent

Thank you for giving my soul peace with your renditions

@ImaginedWriter I'm glad you think so :) I really appreciate it. Thanks for leaving a comment.

Thank you. I really appreciate the positive comments. Too kind. I'm not sure if I get to it soon, but I'll keep it in mind. I guess some time when I'm in the right mood and my voice plays along. It's still a hard song to sing.

I come back to your rendition now and again... quite nice indeed.

@mvo5720 Thank you for your recent comments :) Too kind. I'm glad you liked it!

Bro really captured nicks vibes

Beautiful cover and I wish you the best in your music career. I know Nick is out there somewhere hearing this..and is happy you are singing it. Thank you

That is beautiful beyond words...You show a deep respect for Nick's memory and extraordinary talent in the way you sing and play...You make it your own..yet there is great similarity in the quality of your vocals and guitar..I believe you are the real thing...don't ever stop showing Nick to the world...I would love to hear a rendition of Nick's ' Things Behind The Sun'...

@KiwiTheFlowerchild Thanks :) I'm glad you liked it!

I just discover your channel with Nick Drake's songs. You did it great ! Thanks

Just beautiful; this is the closest we will ever get to seeing Nick Drake himself playing; I’ve listened to his music for over thirty years and I’m a harsh critic - you’re renditions are simply awesome 👍

your Nick Drake covers have brought much pleasure to my life, thank you for a great experience.

simple and beatiful. one of the best nick's song, for me.

you nailed the right hand pattern still trying to figure out how to do it

Your great you have it down as close as anyone could ever capture the Nick sound!!!! If they ever make a movie you have my vote!!

Such an amazing Cover, your voice just like Nick Drake, beautiful and meaningful! X

That was great. 12 years late to this video, but better late than never.

@smartti1970 I played it in BEBEBE. It's been mentioned quite a lot on various sources, though I can't say whether it's the original tuning or not. It simply works best for me.

Closest and best cover I've heard for this song good job man and rest in peace Mr.Drake.

I adore Nick Drake, and you are so great at playing his songs. Keep it up :)

Finally I found my favorite guitarist on youtube!

this is how good i think you are, i discovered your channel 4 years ago, and well its 2015 and im still here listening to you, i love your Nick Drake covers, they are amazing!

Awesome job, dude. That right hand work is killer.

This is amazing dude; I love your voice and playing. You have a pretty guitar too!

Tobias....you give me many thrills!!!....nobody nobody play these songs as you!!!

My father died on March 8th. He enjoyed your nick drake covers so much.

This is a beautiful cover - such a pleasure to see it in great video and sound quality! May I ask what kind of mic that is?

Dude, this is just so remarkable.

@NarrowMinded00 Thank you! I'm glad you think so :) Much appreciated.

Awesome Nick drake covers son.

you are incredible. I could listen to you play for hours. I really need to learn the chords to this song. Ugh! You are so good...

wow my favorite of his songs performed to perfection! well done

Simply beautiful

This is my favourite song and i just found this as a related featured video. Was well worth the trip my man. And i hate covers of this song usually but you were exceptional brother. x

I love your Nick Drake covers Tobias!! :D

Beautiful rendition.

What an amazing performance. Not sure if you still get these comments but such an accomplishment. Great job

This song always made me laugh. Makes me want to say to Nick, “WHAT?? Speak up, man!” Actually I suppose you could say that same thing about most of Nick’s stuff. But all joking aside, you’re awesome. Such an amazing tribute to Nick. What’s especially great about your performance on this song is the fact that the guitar and vocals are on different rhythms and you can just tell how difficult this song would be to pull off. Great job!

i wonder if this song could be played in CGCFCE tuning. you wouldn't even need a capo. maybe ill try to figure out the tab

this is amazing - terrific job.

what's the tuning?

My goodness. Thank you so much.

Very nicely played . How long are those nails ?

That guitar tone could not be anymore spot on to Nick Drake.

GREAT cover... you captured the spirit dead on.

My all time favourite Night Drake song: love it

Love all of your covers Tobias! Could you tell me what guitar you're holding?

the guitar playing is phenomenal! you have a great voice as well

im a huge fan of Nick, and u made it awsome, nothing, just that. Thanks for singing nick's songs

You're damn talented. Good job dude!

@wildwitchwoman46 Thank you :) I'm glad you liked my try. I'll try to get my hands to his album! Didn't hear it yet. Much appreciated all the best

Really loved your cover of this great tune of Nick's. You definitely have a future as a musicien, keep it up, Tobias !

Absolutely wonderful

Feel like I'm listening to Nick bravo!

Sweet. And sublime performance. Thanks for posting.

this is legendary song, gooose skin

wow that was brilliant ! Have you visited Nick Drake's home etc ...i think you should be included in any documentaries they make of Nick..you truly embody his spirit..you make me well imagine how Nick must have played his guitar and sang..such a pity there are no recordings of him..bravo and i wish you success in all your endeavours as well as love peace happiness good fortune..God bless.

what the tunning and are you using the original one ?

When do you start a tour with those covers. Seriously.

What guitar is that

Great sound 👏🏻

This is fantastic and really inspiring. Do you have any practice tips or books that got you started on playing like this?

I covered it in standard tuning (with open chords), it sounds suprisingly good. This video inspired me, thanks

For the Nick Drake biopic that we all want to see, you're given.

Holy shit that was perfect, great job man!

Well done. Thanks for posting.

your guitars tone exactly sounds same with original song . great job my man :)

great cover, you've got Nick down, well done

You do such wonderful versions of Nicks songs was wondering if you will ever do one of "Fly"

Incredible.

Oh my gosh Tobias - you had me at the first note! Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for sharing - all stars to YOU ****************** cheers, julie

With the capo it's BEBEBE??? or the guitar i'ts in that tunning?? great video man i'm gonna try learn it, please help!

Absolutely beautiful man! I don't where you are based but if you live in England or are ever stopping by you should come to the annual nick drake gathering on the 21st/22nd July in Tanorth-in-Arden, you would really do him justice.

Excellent.

You remind me Nick so much! Thank you for sharing this! I was sad until listen to you! I would love to hear a cover for "Magic" and "Place to be" too!

Wow. Auch hier hast du mal wieder ganze Arbeit geleistet, dein Cover ist wahnsinnig toll geworden, wirklich. Ich bin immer noch ganz erstaunt darüber, wie gut du Gitarre spielst, obwohl du das ja noch gar nicht so...oo lange machst. Das ist wirklich beachtlich, du hast ein riesiges Talent. Und dass ich deine Stimmer liebe, brauche ich dir ja auch nicht mehr sagen. ;) Ach, du bist einfach toll. :) Schön, etwas von dir hören zu dürfen. Liebe Grüße, Jolyne♥

Did you glue your little finger to the pickguard?

congrats, man. it's such a beautiful version... I'd like to have the track to listen to it once in a while. maybe you should record it. that could be a good idea. anyway, congrats, it was a delight to listen to it.

I like this. There seem to be only a few chords (C F etc
