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!
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.
@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!
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 , ...
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'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
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 :)
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
@TubaGirl01 This is so nice to read. I'm glad they do and that you enjoyed it! Thank You for listening and the always positive comments. You're too kind! Well, nevertheless, maybe we'll get to hear your versions in a little while :) I hope you enjoy the process.
@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
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.
@1978BenF Thanks! I'm glad you think so :) By the way, i really enjoyed your approach on Nicks Introduction piece! Great to see and hear it not only in detail, but flawlessly performed with a great acoustic sound to it. It just fits.
I'm not sure if I'm able to get to that. I recorded a few takes of it but ended up never publishing those. It's one of the songs I could never sing well. But I appreciate the interest! I'll let you know if I ever attempt it again.
Any chance of a private link? I promise to be considerate, & take into account your reservations :) Absolutely fell in love with your Riverman Rendition.
I'm really glad you enjoy River Man, but in contrary to that I couldn't do Hazey Jane II justice in the least or even finish the instrumental part the way I wanted to. I'll see if I can find the old recording, but I doubt I enjoy it enough nowadays to share it. I hope you don't mind.
This is truely amazing. I cannot recall anyone getting this close to the nick drake sound/feeling. I tip my hat, my german neighbour.
Does Nick Drake know he has a very talented son out there? Very well done!
Awesome mate.
zoned out and forgot i was listening to a cover
Excellent
bravo lad. spot on
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.
I'm glad you think so. Thank you for listening! Much appreciated.
People get his songs so wrong, but this is so right that I am amazed. Well done, young man, and thank you.
absolutely beautiful man
Bravo, Sir.
As ever, i'm open to the mystery that will always be Nicks tunings, opinions much aprreciated folks for his tuning on the Chimes
Fantastic .
Just awesome 👏🏼
A reference rendition. My compliments.
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!
Uncanny, close your eyes and its Nick, open them and it still is , fantastic.
Αδερφέ μας έστειλες αδιάβαστους... Τι 'ταν αυτό το πράμα... Μπράβο!!!
Rarely like covers of Nick Drake. Really enjoyed the delicateness of this. Thank you
I'm bawling...This is so precious. Thank you!
great cover mate, you got nicks soulfulness down to a tea
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.
Thank you for your Nick Drake covers that couldn't be more beautiful
Best cover of this I have ever heard. Well done.

@busywave
I'm glad you think so! As always, much appreciated :) Thank you for stopping by and listening.
You really are impressive ! No one can cover Nick Drake as well as you.
As much as I love the original version with the extra instrumentation, this one lets me appreciate more the intrincate guitar parts. Great rendition
Awesome.... You caught the true soul.... great interpretation

Thank you for listening! Too kind. I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
great cover - bravo !
I seriously need to see you play a Nick Drake gig. You have the voice and most definatly the guitar skills ;-)
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.

pretty pretentious

A great cover tobias.. you nailed it!!
If nick was still alive,he would loved this!
He was made to love magic....Nick Drake....
@moontrees68
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate that you stopped by. I'm glad you liked my rendition of Nicks song.
@neilgman
Thanks! I appreciate that you stopped by to listen.
You're the best at playing Nick Drake! Great job man ;)
beautiful, would love to do harmony vocals to this
Excellent!
Ich fange an mich zu wiederholen, aber das ist einfach so so fantastisch gut. Danke.
Very good job !
Good continuation !

Perfect tribute.
I'm in love with your performances! The way you embody Nick's sensitive personality is outstanding! ♥
I'm glad you enjoyed them, Rafaella. Thank you for the kind words!
I'd love to see you perform "Hazey Jane II". It's one of my favorites!
I'm not sure if I'm able to get to that. I recorded a few takes of it but ended up never publishing those. It's one of the songs I could never sing well. But I appreciate the interest! I'll let you know if I ever attempt it again.
