#NickDrake #RiverMan
She is the most exciting solo singer/guitarist I've listened to since Joni Mitchell.
I think Nick would have been thrilled with this. I can only imagine their blended voices singing this. She has the voice of an angel.
If only he had known how many lives he touched
It could be easily done with today's technology and you're right it would sound absolutely fantastic
@@markhughes9092 That would be wonderful! DO IT! 😁
This is the sound and expression of an old soul making music. Been around many times.
Madison, you are absolutely stunning... this is by far the best rendition of a Nick Drake song I've ever heard. I'm speechless.
The way the wind, flowers and machines join in is pure magic.
Can she cover anything and make it less than absolutely incredible and worthy of the original? This is outstanding.
I actually like how the street noise intrudes at the end--as if the impossible magical spell of this song must eventually be broken.
Absolutely beautiful rendition. If Nick Drake had only known how many people his music would touch and inspire he might've stuck around a while longer.
You're probably right Brad. Nick's songs have an afterlife that is like a happy ending to the tragedy of his life.
Maybe. I've read so many books of his life that I've come to the conclusion that he had pot-induced schizophrenia, as he displayed those symptoms. If that is true, even had his dream of becoming a known/loved folk artist come true, that would not have saved him.
Nick is smiling.
This is astounding.
I almost forget to breathe...so enchanting, haunting is this recording.
Jesus... I've said this before but I think you've just done what Jeff Buckley did to Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah'... 'River Man' is my number one song of all time and you have done it serious justice here. I love this version so much... Thank you for your passion.
One of the most ethereal songs ever written, by one of the most ethereal voices ever. And you somehow made it your own on this cover. Gorgeous and powerful.
Astounding - the voice, the playing, tone, feel, atmosphere, you're just way out there in a magical world beyond.
Holy... holy shit. This might be the best cover of ANYTHING I have EVER heard. I’m astounded.
This = all-time, top 5 TH-cam comments, Emily
Here it is 2023 just a few days after the GRAMMYs.. First heard and saw you sing this with Chris Thile.. You are always able to catch the essence or complete song with one instrument and solo voice.. I just love that.. (true talent and a LOT of practice)... Just thanks for these Maddi..🎶👍
This is my favorite Nick Drake song. It's so haunting.
This woman's talent knows no bounds! Wow!
Best. Nick Drake cover ive ever seen. Perfect playing. Even without the strings. Love the bus ambience aswel. Modern twist.
I'm stunned at how good this is. I normally dread people covering Nick Drake but this is magic.
I've listened to this about 6 times today. Blown. Away.
I'm 5 years late to this - fantastic WOW. 🔥🔥🔥
For once YT decides to show me something I like. This is special, thank you
That song is haunting enough on the original version. She just........man, I am blown away to be honest. Just fantastic. Madison has it all.
Beautiful cover, I think you really did it justice
First, very brave to take on Nick Drake’s work and then veer in a direction that makes it unique but still mystical. Lovely, haunting. Bravo.
She's crazy brave, and we're lucky for it. Have you heard her do California? I covered my eyes at first, but she owned it.
I'm a huge Nick Drake fan, and wow she really brings a beautiful feeling to River Man, without pushing too far. Madison keeps a soft rawness to it. Love the sound of the buses in the background.
It's so full of life! You are a great singer because you choose your own way! Love!
You keep on surprising me. Astonishing. I am pleased that I got the privilege to see you live, there you blew me and my brother away. I wish you all the best!
I see an old guy, about 73 years old, stooped, walking up to you with his hand outstretched, smiling broadly, tears in his eyes.
Songs by Madison are brilliant and moving. This one made me cry. Thanks you.
If I was passing by this house, in this magical moment I would jump the fence 😅❤️🥰 without a doubt! 🤸♀️🙃😅
please release these on spotify... every single one of them is a-mazing! incredible
Peace. Voice and chords. Gives me shivers of peace.
Beautiful recording too.
Just discovered Nick Drake and now you too. Beautiful. Thank you 🙏
Me too, a couple weeks ago. This is my favorite of his. What's yours?
This is absolutely bananas. I had no idea how you were going to approach this song and you just absolutely killed it!!! Would love to see a go at another Nick Drake song.
Had me in a trance.
Amazing stuff! Been a massive Nick Drake fan since mid 90s. This is top 3 covers I've heard from his catalogues
Such a haunting song and a haunting rendition. Beautiful. Thank you.
It's very hard to play it and sing it at the same time. I salute you for that.
this is among the best things ive ever seen on you tube.
Nick's songs are so great sung by female voices. Outstanding version!
i am a complete purist when it comes to Nick Drake, and I was skeptic as hell when I saw the intro with the fast strumming, but I loved this entire cover
When I heard this Spanish guitar strumming, I think what a pity. Afterwards I love.
What a strange idea to make a video for that Nick Drake song in this place. 🤔
I thought the same at the front of the song "how can you keep that flamenco style going right through the song..and then in comes the jazz style Nick Drake rhythm " and a beautiful voice"..love the location for the shoot aswell... very Nick Drake...love it!
Just incredible.. ❤️
Madison you got this. Good to know God still makes great new musical artists
Each song you cover takes me on a magical journey and I get lost in the music. WOW! JUST WOW!
Your voice is beyond beautiful excellent singing just top notch .. cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪 Brian
Wow, Madison, you just elevated a work of genius.
What a vocal range , amazing ! 3:45 There is a softly changing vocal tone for such a sensitive Nick Drake's song. I loved this COVER almost more than original. (Almost ! ).
Amazing, captured the soul of the song while adding your own element.
this is absolutely crazy and beautiful!!!!❤
Dear Madison. To pick Nick Drake to cover and make it your own is both ballsy and a testament to the singer and musician you are. You succeeded.
Beautiful voice. And a brilliant interpretation of my favorite Drake song....
and equally as haunting. Thank you. I really need to learn this one.
Just absolutely breathtaking.
Wow, what a wonderful interpretation. Great stuff.
This is unbelievable, thanks for sharing.
I have listened to this cover countless times and think it may surpass the original, truly amazing
I love the song, no matter who sings or plays it, and I love her version!
Nick would be proud!
Love it! Especially when you're singing the string parts. It's really beautiful!
I love how unique each cover is. Such a fun surprise each week.
Mesmerizing! I'm speechless. 😍
Protect this human at all costs.
she's incredibly talented
Wow. Like Nick Drake reincarnated. Very much her own, yet also very true to the original, in a manner that's more than a bit haunting. Just... wow. -Tom
TLMuse She is so focused on the music
Wow.
The perfect cover; impressed, and touched.
Her voice and the overall vibe reeks of Joni on this one. Spellbinding.
And somehow some Thom Yorke creeps through in the background in some of her songs here. Like the vocalised string part, here.
As everyone else has commented here, a powerful and truly magical performance, and one which I think Nick Drake himself, may have found mesmeric.
Hauntingly beautiful
Beautiful!!!One of my favorite song ever.. Beautiful rendition
Wow!!! Beautiful
Congratulations Madison, you have an incredible voice and to be able to manage that rhythm and sing at the same time is so very difficult, few could pull it off but you did, kudos 🙏
Absolutely astounding
gorgeous~ keep up the great work with that golden mic and crystal voice
What a beautiful song and what a beautiful rendition.
stunning!
Good Lord this is just awesome.

Beautiful Voice /Tone
Captivating! I can just feel that river flowing :-o.
Pure beauty. Thanks for the music.
So beautiful, so rare...thank you for not letting down the riverman!
Thank you! I love how you matched the dull old strings.
A true mic combined with a true voice. WoW!
wow!
This is an amazing cover! Truly spectacular!
I love love love this
Its respectful and original, beautiful!
magical!
I was quietly hoping for a Nick Drake cover! Excellent!
Madison, thank you for appreciating this haunting song & artist. Lovely work / interpretation.
That was amazing!! I like the added vocal note near the end- very well done and nice touch.
Your voice is unreal 👍
Fantastic cover to a fantastic song
Gorgeousl. When she sings the string part I suddenly pick up a Radiohead vibe. (As in, Radiohead surely got touched by Nick Drake.).
I've just found one more jem. Madison you are a gift from heaven
Chills - so glad I listened!
