Soulful, poetic, beautifully vulnerable, timeless. He really poured his soul from somewhere deep inside to be able to make music that transcends time and makes it otherworldly and so beautiful. The Pink Moon album has to be up there as 1 of the greatest albums ever made. I feel so honored that i was allowed to 'find' the music of Nick Drake over 20 years ago. Like someone who mentioned in a comment about Nick Drake which i will never forget. They said "That God will always find a way for people to discover the music of Nick Drake". About 24 years ago, i walked into an independent record store when at that exact moment there was a song playing (which turned out to be Cello Song), i loved the song, it just hit me in my stride immediately. In my ignorance i thought it was a Donovan song i had'nt heard (I have a number of Donovan albums and i thought the voice sounded a bit like Donovan) I walked to the counter and asked the shop assistant which Donovan album was this from. The assistant smiled and explained to me that it was Nick Drake. I left the store having bought the Way To Blue compilation. I was blown away on first listen and played it endessly. After that i knew i had to get his albums and learn all about this incredible songwriting, guitar playing genius i had been 'gifted'. I bought Five Leaves Left, Bryter Layter and the incredible Pink Moon album, and also some compilations with demos and rare tracks. Just like that comment by someone about Nick Drake, i truly believe that God, or the creator, or whatever you want to call it, found a way for me to find the music of Nick Drake. I feel honored when i listen to my Nick Drake albums. His beautiful music tranceds all time and the sound from his guitar and voice has a soulful, poetic vulnerability to it, which can give you goosebumps or make you cry. God, Creator or fate will find a way for every passing generation to find the beautiful music of Nick Drake.🙏🎶💯
And I was green, greener than the hill Where flowers grow and the sun shone still Now I'm darker than the deepest sea Just hand me down, give me a place to be all time favourite nick drake lyrics
It's hard to believe he would be like 76 years old today if he was alive. I remember your comment clearly every time I go back in my mind about nick drake, the audio clearing up feels like he comes into our presence all of the sudden. We miss ya Nick, I wonder if he can see our comments from beyond. maybe he can and he sees how famous hes become. I hope so!
This is absolutely beautiful. I had a bit of a weepy moment last night thinking about how he died and how lonely he must have been. We all get sad but most of us reach through the clouds again. It's a pity he couldn't.
"Now I'm darker than the deepest sea/Hand me down, give me a place to be ..." In light of the fact that he would soon be dead it's hard not to see this as a cry for help - or perhaps that's just hindsight talking.
Combining the two existing recordings is pure genius. You can barely notice the slow down on the first half. Great job with the transition as well, love that's it's a light fade and not an abrupt pop in.
@@FallenEdits Damn I didn't even know there were three versions. Great job dude. I've been learning it by ear from this video for a few months now and Its been a huge help
This is wonderful. I conspire that the Nick Drake Estate has the official tape of the Brian Wells recordings. There is likely an entirely high quality version of this, unless Scott Appel stole them or something. This recording is of absolutely the same take - just different recording generations. The first part is probably third or fourth generation, and the sync is second generation. Audiotape is a beautifully unfortunate invention.
Iget the impression that there is yet a last NICK DRAKE album possible with all these beautiful outtakes. Does Gabrielle Drake know of these versions? What a great artist. Shame on NME, MM and all the others that they didn't notice at the time.. SINCERELY JOHAN
So true. It's only in retrospect that these so called knowledgeable music writers for the likes of NME, MM, Sounds wrote 5 star reviews for his albums. Well said Johan 👏
@@FallenEdits where did you get the latter half of the audio from? im genuinely curious. wonder if there's a high quality version of the first half somewhere.
@@danman8215 its been awhile so i cant exactly remember, i had downloaded pretty much every bootleg album out there and it was on one of them but im pretty sure its from a day gone by, the picture i used
Nick is a genius and I guess nobody cares here, but this is by no means what is usually meant by guitarists as fingerpicking - I think you could call it just "arpeggio" or at best "finger-style"
Is there on the internet the whole version with audio cleared up? It's a revelation, this is my favorite recording of Nick Drake. Or anywhere in a bootleg or album? Its strange how a small part is that clear.
There are only two known recordings. The muddy version was recorded at his home on his tape recorder as a demo, but isn't finished and the second (clearer) version was recorded in the studio. But, the better demo version is not complete, the recording starts halfway. Could've been a sound check. Both recordings are in different keys at different speeds, so the uploader did a really great job of making the two halves whole. This is the best version we'll probably ever have Edit: three versions, I keep forgetting about the third
@@mr.skeltal8687No there is only one original studio-like recording of this version of place to be. The muddy recording is just a second or third generation copy of that original. But they are all definitely the same take. The original is incomplete because probably part of that tape got erased. Of the first section only the mediocre copy remains.
@@futuropasado Partially disagree. The original home recording is not muddy. The muddy recording is a copy of the original home recording. The original home recording is partially erased after the copy was made.
hopefully in the future we can get some type of AI to listen to nick drakes full albums, and then use a "Deepfake" type of processing on this recording to clear up the intro to high fidelity, it should be possible in theory but right now I don't think anything like it exists.

all time favourite nick drake lyrics
At 1:43 is a very beautiful, haunting moment. The audio clearing up feels like nick is among us all of a sudden.We miss you man.
We miss you brotha, come back to us Nick. why'd you have to take them pills N booze man, come back to us brotha!
You didn't meet him. Shut the fuck up, zukas

This is mind-bendingly beautiful.
The guitar finger picking is insane. Just perfect and beautiful.
Amazingly clear and deliberate! Master finger picking!
I first heard this version 30 years ago and it is still the Place To Be gold standard....
Yep it's better than the album recorded ones. agreed. How long have you known about nick?
@@Runescape. maybe 35 or so years...he was very special....
Well said 👏 the songs from the Pink Moon album, whatever versions, are pure gold.
1 of the greatest albums ever made.💯

that fingerpicking part at 1:35 is absolutely nuts, i can’t even begin to wrap my head around it
I've been trying to work it out by ear for the last two months. The timing is mind bendingly difficult
Now I'm older gotta get up clean the place
Yesss I agree best nick drake tune and version
used this song for an english project on growing up. got an A+ lol. Love Nick
There's another version of the same recording on YT which is far, far rougher than this so it's quite the revelation. Thank you.
Totally! Finding this was such a come up....
You did a fantastic job, this is such a gift. Thank you.
The best song ever written
キラキラ麗しい!
Heart breaking beautiful sadness is Nick Drake.
Love this
Beyond all human understanding...that's why...in TIA I was called to create #nickdrakegreatspiritualmovement thank you Nick for Always 🙏💜🌌🌟🧿💙🤍😌

What's the version that starts at 1.43?
It's beautiful. It's fingerpicked but with a Better audio quality!
Thank you!

Can someone outline where the different fragments came from?
Sounds better quality than the other video with this song 👍
That was my goal :)

Silly question, but what on earth happens at 1:43? Assume it's not AI, so was it clever sound manipulation?
2:16
Do somebody knows which tunning is he using?

Kind of capo 5.
