Nick Drake - Northern Sky | Reaction! (No One Makes Me Feel The Way He Does) 

Love Nick Drake. RIP. So tragic, he thought he was a failure. Your music will live on. God Bless.

One of Nick Drake’s best songs. Every song really makes me smile every time I listen to him. I’m so happy you love Nick Drake.

Nick drake is my comfort blanket ✌️❤️

That signature guitar intro heard in so many of his songs was achieved by using "dead" nickel strings. In other words, strings that had far outlived their normal wear and tear. They produce that melancholy sound, and he used them a lot. I love this man so much!

His songs are like paintings of pure emotions. The color palette of his songs ranges from the deepest black to the brightest white.

His songs are so personal and beautiful

I was in a girlfriends' flat in the early seventies and she had a compilation album playing. This song came on and I instantly became a Nick Drake fan.

This is such a great song. It’s a shame that he’s no longer with us.

It's such a wonderful thing when someone can brighten your Northern Sky. It's one of my favorite songs. All the best from the Netherlands!

My favorite by Nick Drake

Nick Drake was/is great. Love him.

Great track. The whole album is brilliant… and yes this album has way more instrumentation that his other two. Album featuring the legend John Cale too. Other great track to listen to is ‘At the chime of a city clock’…. Dark but light and uplifting at the same time. Has piano, strings saxophone. Amazing song.

such a beautiful song

Thanks for this!!

hes got some really great gems i know youd like

I love this song as I can see from your reaction, you do too. Lovely

So twinkly it’s twee. I discovered Nick Drake in the early 80s, via the Fruit Tree box reissue (Island was ahead of its time). Northern Sky simply blew me away. It still has the effect of hearing it for the first time. On the other hand, I’m a northern boy and come by my nostalgia honestly. The only benefit to dying so tragically young was leaving a perfect discography.

He was such an enigma and I thoroughly love all his albums. I’d love for you to listen to Time Has Told Me or anything from his first album which remains my favorite ☺️

This is my favourite Nick Drake song. Many, many people talk about Pink Moon as *the* Nick Drake album, but for me it has always been Bryter Layter. Don't get me wrong, I adore the other albums too, but I'm a sucker in particular for the arrangements on this album, the beautiful orchestration just elevates everything. John Cale is also an actual genius, so you have that element too.

How about a Nick Drake Thursday?

Absolutely love this song. Try Hazey Jane II next

Not 100% positive, but I think this was the first Nick song I heard and I'm glad it was. So beautiful. It made the choice to dive into his tragically limited discography an extremely easy one.

He had loads of famous session men ..... this tune has John Cale on piano. Elton John played on 5 leaves

Totally beautiful!

This is tremendous

It's magic crazy how the beginning of "Northern Sky," "Melissa" by the Allman Brothers (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-71xvwVQABvw.htmlsi=SIfyTNTnhgebTcFJ), "Make It With You" by Bread (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OudI2JPhEqQ.htmlsi=0Uw3hwWzKf2mQRg6), and "Watch Me" by Labi Siffre (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MQfJDQxcjmg.htmlsi=qvZPxjBeUJJbhtg1) all have similar beginnings.

Great to see you revisiting Nick Drake. Nice that you mention John and Beverley Martyn. Following his death, his good friend and fellow singer-songwriter John Martyn wrote the song "Solid Air" in his honor -- well worth a listen. Both Martyn (died 2009) and Drake are often seen as singers of despair.

Twinkling ✨ glad you enjoyed it man nick drake has some really nice songs I'd suggest from the morning love that one makes me sad but in a happy way hard to explain.

The YT channel 'Word In Your Ear', hosted by veteran music journalists Mark Ellen and David Hepworth, often feature Nick Drake and document the various misfortunes of his career.
