Skeptical as I ever tend to be I clicked this video expecting to find yet another not quite good enough cover... only to find an excellent cover. I adore Nick's music and you did it justice. Well done. Thank you.
I don't mind, everyone can have a try, the more the merrier. I almost like every cover of nick Drake. He would be totally amazed by any interpretation.
I have been a fan of Nick’s music since 50 years. So hard to cover his songs, heard many. You sound truthful to his spirit. Thank you for bringing him back.
Same fragile haunting voice the man himself had........ beautiful cover of an amazing song......... nearly 50 years since your death, and we still love your work
My favorite of all of Drake's tunes. This video is how I discovered your channel - the algorithm gave it to me in exchange for my data. Yeah, the strings feel like they belong, here. Wonderful rendition!
Bravo! You can close your eyes and feel like Nick is in the room playing for you...from fingerpicking execution to voice inflection...I hope I get an opportunity to see you play!
This is killer. One of those songs that is so tough to pull off in cover form. The only way it can work is if it's so great that it seizes your attention. Which this does.
Everyone is telling you what a great job you and Mr Smith have done. But I also admire how you have taken the time and trouble to respond to each comment. I think Nick Drake would have respected that too
Beautiful. See, the composition - the colour of the chords in themselves would be complete as instrumental, but of course the words the poem are the crux of it all. And I think you understood it.
Bravo!! Loved the updating of the strings sound adding a sort of modern surreality without losing the original's perfect heartbeat at all. If a cover can also be it's own unique work of art, this is it. Much respect. Great job!
He was a phenomenal guitar player, but his lyrics and vocal abilities were very subpar. Which is a big reason i think he never broke through. The infantile predictable lyrics and mediocre singing just dont mix well over such complicated lovely guitar work. He really shouldve teamed up with a vocalist/lyricsist
Depuis que j'ai retrouvé cette musique qui traverse le temps en gardant toutre sa magie , j'en collectionne toutes les versions : celle ci en est une des meilleures , bravo !!!
Amazing singing, playing, recording and super unique string arrangement too!!! Love how you were not scared to change the string arrangement, while keeping very respectful to the original.
@@georgeboomsmamusic I was thinking of figuring out how to play it and saw your video and clicked on it. Saw immediately how to do it....thank you. The tricky part for me is the 5/4 rhythm pattern. I'm not used to that.
Lovely version of a beautiful song - love the odd timings and pleasing lilt to the pick, and the phrasing is crazy and beautifully atmospheric - fantastic work, great to hear :)
@@georgeboomsmamusic hey! If we could chat via Facebook facebook.com/zanderalex6080 Here’s my MixCloud show www.mixcloud.com/ZTG22/across-the-centuries-with-zdg-show-1/
I wish Nick could see how much we appreciate him..
A beautiful legacy for sure
He’ll never know he’s my favorite artist and saved my life
he was reclusive and shy so the extra attention may have been bad for him
Almost makes me cry that he never knew his eventual impact.
@@Celtokee Totally, we have to keep spreading the good word!

Thanks very much Edwin, really glad you enjoyed the video - cheers!
I don't mind, everyone can have a try, the more the merrier. I almost like every cover of nick Drake. He would be totally amazed by any interpretation.
Riverman, Three Hours, and Black Eyed Dog are my favorites of Drake's catalog.WAY ahead of his time.
Great tunes, and so true. Cheers!
@@georgeboomsmamusic Beautiful cover by the way. You have the chops in both your guitar and vocal abilities 👍🏆More! Do Toe the Line 🙏
@@linjicakonikon7666 thank you! Ah nice, will give it a listen 👍👍
My all time favorite song - you did Nick proud.
Nice one!
Gone down the nick drake rabbit hole again. Not a bad place to be. Amazing rendition
Ha not a bad place at all... Cheers Jane!
I have been a fan of Nick’s music since 50 years. So hard to cover his songs, heard many. You sound truthful to his spirit. Thank you for bringing him back.
Thanks very much Coco! 👍
Absolutely gorgeous . You did Nick Drake proud.
Thanks Barbara! 👍👍

Cheers Daniel! Really appreciate the support (and the data exchange...!) All the best.
A beautiful cover made that much better by that delicious saturation from the Tascam 🥰
Appreciate it Brett! Ha yeah, it's a beauty alright 👍
Bravo! You can close your eyes and feel like Nick is in the room playing for you...from fingerpicking execution to voice inflection...I hope I get an opportunity to see you play!
Thanks very much Paul! 🙌
Perfection. Shoulder to shoulder with the original.
Cheers!
God this song is so beautiful, played beautifully.
It's a beauty right, cheers Jaden!
Why is it some of my favorite artist never get any airplay on the radio.Great cover by the way.
Appreciate it!
this is just wow, on EVERY level.
Cheers Roberto! 🙌
I think this is Nick's best song, especially the studio version on Five Leave's Left. It sounds like the spirit of Autumn.
Defo one of my favourites!
Outstanding. Haunting, sweet voice. What a blessing to witness your art
Thanks very much! 👍👍
I love this song so much. there is so much power in the string arrangement as well. it's reminiscent of Jonny greenwoods work
@@junezee thank you! 🙌🏼
Return to your amazing cover every so then, great job. Lately I've been loving his song "One of these things first".
Thank you! Ah yes, that's another one of my favourites of Nicks
This is killer.
One of those songs that is so tough to pull off in cover form.
The only way it can work is if it's so great that it seizes your attention. Which this does.
Nice one! Great comment that.
That was so well done. Your voice is even similar to Drake's. You have a soft, sweet tone.
Thanks very much Papasitoman! 🔥
Riverman is my favorite Nick Drake tune. So beautiful haunting. Always moves me every time. Really like your interpretation.
It's a brilliant tune for sure, thanks!
What a brilliant cover, keeping the spirit of Nick Drake alive,you did this song justice,well done you.
Thanks Iain! 👍👍
I cry each time i hear Nick Drake sing that song. There were tears in my eyes listening to you... absolutely exquisite! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Really glad you liked it, thank you!
❤@@georgeboomsmamusic
This performance is heavenly. Beautifully done mate, you're a true artist.
Thanks a bunch mate!
Rarely comment on videos ever, but I keep coming back to this.
Kinda blown away by it. Well done, mate.
Thanks very much Nutbrown, appreciate that 👍
Oh the string section! Very, very well done and well recorded. Also singing and playing in 5/4 it's not that easy, I know a little about ;)
Cheers! Ha was a bit tricky to get the hand of it that's for sure... Nice one!
Mesmerizing
It's just my opinion, but i strongly think that you, Josh Turner and Chris Brain are the greatest entrepreneurs of Nick Drake's songs ever!
Appreciate it! Those two are decent players that's for sure.
Well done feller, superb rendition 👍👏
Nice one Derek!
Everyone is telling you what a great job you and Mr Smith have done. But I also admire how you have taken the time and trouble to respond to each comment. I think Nick Drake would have respected that too
Of course! I appreciate everyone's comments, so would be rude not too. Cheers!
You have a gorgeous talent George.
Appreciate that, all the best!
What a beguiling arrangement, true to Nick Drake and, one feels, true to you as well. Bravo!
Nice one Mark, appreciate that!
Beautiful cover , just like the original starts a little ember that ignites the soul ❤️
Thanks very much! 🙌
Beautiful. See, the composition - the colour of the chords in themselves would be complete as instrumental, but of course the words the poem are the crux of it all. And I think you understood it.
Thank you Gretha! Very kind words 👍
wow. I've been practising this song for a few days now but it's so hard to sing and play the rythm at the same time!!
Keep at it, it'll click!
Absolutely gorgeous, brother. Thank you for keeping the spirit of Nick Drake alive
Thanks very much 🙌
Wow really BEAUTIFUL
RIVER MAN AND MOON RIVER
ARE GREAT WORLD CLASSICS
Cheers, I agree!
Stunningly beautiful rendition. Sensitive work.
Thanks very much Nico! 👍
Bravo!! Loved the updating of the strings sound adding a sort of modern surreality without losing the original's perfect heartbeat at all. If a cover can also be it's own unique work of art, this is it. Much respect. Great job!
Really appreciate that! Glad it came across that way, Harry did a fab job with the strings. 🙌
So underrated. This is beautifully executed well done 👏👏👏

I just love your subtle voice vibrato at 00:34. Mesmerizing!
Thanks again! 🙌👍
Le vibrato m'a gênée dans un premier temps, mais en fait il renforce le côté folk de la chanson et je l'ai très vite apprécié
Your voice sounds amazing. Perfect playing as well.
Cheers Dan, all the best!
