I love nick I just wish everyone would stop putting depression on his music all the time, it's a man finding all the beauty he can in a world where he felt so lost, he wanted his music to uplift and connect with people,
When I hear melodies like this from Nick, even if it isn't the first time, they're still almost unbelievable to me. I've never felt so much emotion from a single guitar.
I remember the first time I heard Sketch 1 (An outtake of this, I was very happy to find out there was a full version), and I heard the little sliding melody at 0:03 seconds, I just got so overwhelmed with emotion, I got so choked up and pretty much started crying. I felt like I had heard that melody somewhere before, and it had just been subconsciously sitting in the back of my mind waiting to be realized. Never had I heard so much bliss and emotion coming from a guitar, let alone an acoustic. He was an incredibly special person, to say the least.
Absolutely man . I always listen to John martyn and nick drake when I go on country walks with my dad in Surrey. We drive down from London and blast those tunes to get ourselves In the rambling mood. Some of my favourite memories are walking around the devils punch bowl with family friends and then going to country pubs after to celebrate my birthday with them. This music transports me no matter where I am.
@@ethandavis8090Feel ya dude! They both soothe my soul. To me, playing and perfecting (at least trying to) especially nicks songs is kinda like meditation Wish you all the best though i doubt anybodys gonna read this :)
Nick's home recordings sounds perfect! Although not top quality, it's perfect just like that, they seem to come from a veery distant time and space, where special beings lived.
I think he "gigged" twice, if thats what you want to call it, which is incredible for a person who released three LPs very nervous about performing in front of people he truly was a man out of time who was just passing through .
@@dermot51 I think the main reason he stopped playing live was because the audience in the venues wasn't paying attention to his playing but was more interested in drinking and chatting with eachother. Therefore on his last concert he just walked off mid set
This song is awe inspiring. One of the most brilliant things I have ever heard. I feel this life and creative energy; roaring on like the gurgle of a stream, rushing forth like a torrent of wind through tall tree tops. Nick's genius shines brightly here and brings a sense of wonder.
musicisbrilliant ........hello again. Yes, Nick is one of the musicians I sorely miss but (especially for such a young man) what a beautiful legacy he left behind. I hope life is treating you well, take care...
@@lindadote Thank you so much Linda! Awesome to hear from you. Im doing pretty well. Still struggling to find stability in life in general, but thats a tricky one for most people I think. I hope you are well too. You are wonderful to me. All my best wishes. :) Your previous messages still mean so much, Ill never forget it.
sweet sweet tune, reminds me of a blend of studies.. some Carcassi, some Brower, some Villa-lobos, maybe some Segovia, in this. sweet runs of arpeggio patterns. ahh.
Translated from google translator. If it has been translated correctly, then this is the poem in the setno about Nikc Drake. Because if not those who do not know, he died early in his youth, partly because of his addictions as an underrated artist. I also change the Polish version below. This quiet music I'm stuck somewhere in history he is breathing today and he feels free again This music, this music carries in trees the cloud disappears, disappears time is blurred you will remember sometime Nick Drake who he was you will remember then just roadside dust Ta cicha muzyka utknąłem gdzieś w historii dziś oddycha i znów czuje się wolnym Ta muzyka, ta muzyka niesie się w drzewach obłok znika, znika czas się zaciera wspomnisz kiedyś Nick Drake kim był zapamietasz wtedy tylko przydrożny pył
@@sutcliffe62 Hiya! Like everything he played from the time he started releasing albums, it's one of his own compositions (up till about 18 he mainly learned and played covers of many of the 60's folk legends). It's on a bootleg, "A Day Gone By", which I've never seen, but if you are starting/wanting to learn it - like me - the tabs are on the Nick Drake tabs site of Chris Healey. I've just noticed a guy playing it here "Far Leys Nick Drake"; don't know how good it is, but it might be useful, as it's a lot of work to learn!
There's a short version of this on the Family Tree release (Sketch 1), but I think this longer version is one of the bootlegs that surfaced from Nick's unreleased recordings
Nestor Espitia It's an instrumental demo Nick was working on around (I think) 1972. A small snippet of it was released on the "Family Tree" compilation album as "Sketch I", but the full song can be heard on the unofficial "A Day Gone By" album.
Hello there, past me! In case someone hasn't read other comments, it's from the unofficial release "A day gone by". Just came back to appreciate this beautiful song once more...
He's alive. Living in the USA. Talking to Harvey Goldsmith about a concert at the Albert Hall in the spring of 2019. Don't hold your breath as he is still very shy. Heartbreaking for his fans if said concert doesn't happen..

Well his music sure connected with me!
Pretty gay comment ngl
IF his soul and fingers weren't magic than there is no magic
Sonya, despicable comment
@@blatantenigma3374no he's right. The original commenter is far more silly.
One of the greatest fingerstyle guitarists to ever live. Period.
the best
Yes, without a doubt technique wise for sure, but I don’t think anybody had the feel Nick had

Beautifully said. It's like his music was an expression of some timeless part of nature.
Nick can make a guitar sound like an orchestra.
"The guitar is an orchestra in miniature." -- Beethoven
Mainly because of the alternate tunings
the riff making it sound like a trembled drowned out voice is the absolute best it cant be beat
listening to this makes me want to go out into the english countryside and aimlessly walk around. absolutely beautiful
Rarely has a song about the house you lived and died in sounded so perfect
:'(

2:17 - the fragility of that chord was what I was looking for, for a looooooong time and it was like a musical epiphany when I heard it
TRUE
It really is delicate and beautiful chord, isn't it?
Never heard anything so beautiful.
Meh it's ok I guess
Damn, yeah that is beautiful. I’m gonna do my best to figure what it is lol
I thought I knew music until I came across Nick Drake, especially this piece of art.
+Alex Navarro Music has gone so far since this era. I fucking hate being alive today.
That makes two of us.
Seek and you will find. The same spirit is still alive today.
How does he get that sound out of a guitar. It's absolutely phenomenal.
Nick's home recordings sounds perfect! Although not top quality, it's perfect just like that, they seem to come from a veery distant time and space, where special beings lived.
Timeless, brilliant, humble. Artists like Nick Drake will be rare to find these days. RIP Nick, thank you for leaving behind these great melodies.
I'm so grateful for Nick's music however brief a repertoire it may be. Honestly, my eyes water when hearing this song.
William Menchaca he put out a lot of music for someone who only lived to be 26.
I think he "gigged" twice, if thats what you want to call it, which is incredible for a person who released three LPs very nervous about performing in front of people he truly was a man out of time who was just passing through .

this song literally paints pictures, its beautiful.
One of my favorites from Nick, so beautiful, relaxing and moody! Always full of emotion
just love everything nick drake does , he's brilliant !
Nick drake is beyond great .their will never be another such as him x
Tyler Moore - :):)
Tyler Moore , Your a wise person .
@@SuperAnimelover100 his comment disappeared?
@@user-ym2en4fm8h
Heck , i don't even remember him . I guess it was over 3 years ago . Who knows what happened ? :)

Makes me feel at home and lost at the same time
yea, I know what you mean
Never heard this before! Lovely to envision him playing it. I love you, Nick Drake!!!
I love Nick Drake’s music..This is a beautiful piece.
Far Leys is the name of the house he lived in with his parents and sister.
2:41 onwards gets me evry time.
I love this part also.
Such a beautiful and fragile peace. Amazing.
The man was a genius Maxwell and 'Far Leys' (the name of the family home incidentally) is such a beautiful song cheers!
I'm in love with him
In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, instant depression after listening to it, every-time.
You just desribed my brain
I agree this is a beautifully written song. However, for new I five it more tranquil and peaceful. I find it to be calming.
i come back to this song often, the part at 2:41. Never ceases to make me feel overcome with emotion
It's like each note is from the point of view of a different living thing in the forest, and taken together they make a lovely, mysterious symphony
This makes my sullen soul cry.
Cringe
@@sonyabladesbooty3890 indeed
34k views and zero dislikes tis the power of the man himself Nick Drake
This song brought me the memory of my family in my childhood. It made me sad just for keep that memory only on my mind but also happy for had lived it
Astonishing.
Sadly, his life ended like this beautiful song.
musicisbrilliant ........hello again. Yes, Nick is one of the musicians I sorely miss but (especially for such a young man) what a beautiful legacy he left behind. I hope life is treating you well, take care...

Yeah, the ending is a bit throwaway. I made up a nice harmonious ending with 5 descending chords 🙂
I found this hidden piece today. So glad for a fresh Life!
Thank you so much for putting this up! I have been searching for this song forever! What an amazing piece of music!
Wonderful so gossamer thin like a delicate web of notes hanging in the warm rustic air of a summer
simply beautiful
sweet sweet tune, reminds me of a blend of studies.. some Carcassi, some Brower, some Villa-lobos, maybe some Segovia, in this. sweet runs of arpeggio patterns. ahh.
interesting you brought Segovia into the equation......nice
It s like the sweetest waves of the sea
So good!!

This quiet music
I'm stuck somewhere in history
he is breathing today
and he feels free again
This music, this music
carries in trees
the cloud disappears, disappears
time is blurred
you will remember sometime
Nick Drake who he was
you will remember then
just roadside dust
Ta cicha muzyka
utknąłem gdzieś w historii
dziś oddycha
i znów czuje się wolnym
Ta muzyka, ta muzyka
niesie się w drzewach
obłok znika, znika
czas się zaciera
wspomnisz kiedyś
Nick Drake kim był
zapamietasz wtedy
tylko przydrożny pył
who wrote this? can you give more info please, because i can't find anything on the internet. thanks x

@@PeterOzanne i think they were asking who wrote the poem. I'm curious also.
How intriguing
would still love to know more about this poem
Love
The only other one that played like this, at least a little, was Leo Kottke. Wish I could have been his friend
This reminds me a lot of Bibio.
You mean bibio reminds you alot of him. I knoow I live bibio too. I plan to master my play after them
I do that most days :P
Does anybody know if this song appeared on any album or compilation?

Strange...what WERE people in the 70s listening to (instead of this)? ...
Disco or something 😬😂
