Please beware of them that stare
They'll only smile to see you while
Your time away
And once you've seen what they have been
To win the earth just won't seem worth
Your night or your day
Who'll hear what I say.
Look around you find the ground
Is not so far from where you are
Don´t too wise
For down below they never grow
They're always tired and charms are hired
From out of their eyes
Never surprise.
Take your time and you'll be fine
And say a prayer for people there
Who live on the floor
And if you see what's meant to be
Don't name the day or try to say
It happened before.
Don't be shy you learn to fly
And see the sun when day is done
If only you see
Just what you are beneath a star
That came to stay one rainy day
In autumn for free
Yes, be what you'll be.
Please beware of them that stare
They'll only smile to see you while
Your time away
And once you've seen what they have been
To win the earth just won't seem worth
Your night or your day
Who'll hear what I say.
Open up the broken cup
Let goodly sin and sunshine in
Yes that's today.
And open wide the hymns you hide
You find reknown while people frown
At things that you say
But say what you'll say
About the farmers and the fun
And the things behind the sun
And the people round your head
Who say everything's been said
And the movement in your brain
Sends you out into the rain. - เพลง

I don't know why but this has always been my favourite Nick Drake song even though other songs of his are more highly thought of. As soon as I hear the intro my heart misses a beat!
something special died with this man.
@@Olympuzion What do you mean?
Jesus
Something special dies with every man. Some leave that something special for the rest of us. What will you leave?
I just don't understand how someone could not like this. Even if it's not their taste of music, how can they not realise that this is a masterpiece?!
Taste and mortgages.
More importantly, how could Nick feel like such a failure to commit suicide?
Pie, Nick Drakes voice will always remind me of our days. Miss you, miss our days🌾
I was lucky enough to see him perform this live, which is such a good memory, as you can imagine. kings of convenience have some of the feel and tranquility of nick drake , at their best I think
puddypuss you saw nick drake perform live!? people would pay to hear that story.
It's a shame that the world only turned on to him after he was dead. Amazing musician, and a wonderful lyricist. People like Nick Drake give me hope for humanity.
David Parsons unfortunately, from what I've read, he had terrible stage fright and that affected his exposure through public performance and appearances, etc. Not many knew of him, and I think that had to do with his lack of commercial success; cause it surely wasn't because of his superb musicianship, voice and songwriting.
"The goal of every artist should be to reach as broad a possible audience, while still staying authentic." -Nick Drake
Nick Drake for me is the more melancholic Beatles.
Video taken from: Greenwich Village Sunday (1960 Documentary On The Counterculture / Beat Culture In 1960's New York)
he was a Messenger. chilling lyrics. beautiful melody. excuse me while I cry awhile
One of my all time favorite songs
He plays the guitar in a very unique way... amazing how he can play and sing so beautifully at once.
man this song is depressing. listened to this song at least 5 times today. extremely good song anyway.
His guitar playing is so good, his singing has that sleepy hazy tone to it that goes well with the quick plucking and the lyrics have this frightening fatalism to them that makes you smile even though things seem so depressing and bleak in Nick's view
I think Nick Drake is the greatest singer-songwriter who've ever lived on this earth. His stark observations of life seem so true. His view is one-pointed, pessimistic, yet he's the most honest and pure one-pointed musician I've ever heard. If you want to listen to happy truths, then Drake's not the one to listen to.
However I find his melancholic music very soothing somehow.
Nick Drake is underrated.
Karlis Gailitis he's not underrated. he chose not to promote his music when ever was he was alive. then he got recognized after folk music is not a dominant genre of music. it was his fault
His lyrics mean so much much nowadays and to think he died when he died long before alot of people even heard of him is something special..he was a gift from whatever God you believe in and such a special soul.
This guy is one of the kings of all time
Timeless
Che genio depresso il buon Nick. Lo immagino suonare per gli angeli. R.I.P.
To me, Nick Drake is the epitome of 'a musical being'. Music gurgles out of of him, his voice, his guitar, his shapes and rhythms, as out of a natural spring. He is a wonder. He inspires faith in SIMPLE things.
I only recently discovered Nick Drake. I was sorry to hear he died 35 years ago.
This is on one acoustic
Simply Genius
Amazing song, way ahead of its time.
when i get up and its cloudy or raining,i get out nick drake.its fitting for me.the words,the voice,the guitar,all seem to meld itself into a symphony of melodic despair.this man was genius and has developed a following that grows many times over 36 years after his death.drake is in a class by himself.beatles will always rule,but drake is in a universe all his own.
Great song, never gets old
Too right mate, he has more than earned his place among the greatest British song writers. It's such a shame that he is still relatively unknown.
this is my favourite Nick Drake song, along with One of These Things First. It's so beautiful
Usually I don't like the comments dealing with the 'dislikes' (such as '6 people are spoilt by Lady Gaga' etc.) to videos of vintage music tracks. But this time I just have to ask: what's the point in watching a video like this, listening to such a profound, touching music, and then thoughtlessly clicking the 'dislike' button? Why are there people who do that kind of things?
It remains a mistery to me.
I wish i could describe what this song and Drake particularly make me feel
If you ask me which is the best youtube video, I would not say this, because when I watch, I feel myself in another dimension...
Brilliant. Nick Drake makes me weepy
nick drake and john martyn, the greatest of all time. They make Bob dylan look like a second class busker.
nobody can touch drake musicaly or lyricaly, no one b4 no one since.. truley amasing. hairs standing on end an shit.. thank god i found nick or did he find me?
Such a shame he didn't live to see his own success.
dont know how he did it but he captured autumns vibe in music form
Probably like a lot of others, I only got to his music thru the VW commercial about 6 or 7 years ago. Immediately, I got more of it- and I even bought it, with money, at a local music shop. This guy died when I was 7- never knew his music then, but am so glad I do now.
Absolutely fabulous song... Love Nick Drake
Fu&@in 2020 with global pandemic, murder hornets, cops killing, riots and businesses being destroyed - Nick keeps me somewhat sane.
Amazing...
Just thanks...
God this song is moving...
Ill trade places with nick drake. rip
I came here from Brad Mehldau's version, and for the first time since long I discovered a musician able to move me.
RIP Nick!!!Nice Video!Thanks!
Same here. I am not ashamed of it, in a way, doing so lets my real self drip through my rough crust.
Breathtaking
This is beautiful..
too good for words..
This is a beautiful song with lyrics to match and the video is just SO right . . . :)
i want to give him a hug when i hear this. alas, too late.
Just try to love everyone. It's impossible if that's the reality you believe in.
i never thought i'd see bocci ball juxtaposed with nick drake
Crazy good, and a bit frightening.
A lot frightening but not so much as Black Eyed Dog or Tow The Line.
Beautiful work here.
there are many things behind the sun, including Nick
Nick Drake a toujours eu la possibilité de prendre du recul mais aussi le risque qui allait avec, cela fait tellement longtemps que le risque n'est plus présent ! Nick avait le désespoir tranquille et a créé la musique de "son double" au bord du gouffre
It would have never crossed my mind but now that you mention it, that would sound pretty great
@smithsfan92 yeah nick was a special one
Agreed
so ahead of his time..
discovering nick is like looking for a pearl in the ocean and then find it
How can 14 people dislike this????
Just amazing!! Good documents to share, thanks...good songs! and originals videos...I would like to know about the right meaning of that images, so mysterious...
@hippiegirl1968 thanks for your comment. yes, it was very good, and not wallowing in nostalgia as one time is as valid as another to me in retrospect. I was lucky when I first heard him at an all night concert with the nice and yes in july 1969 I understood and really liked him immediatley, as if he d always been around. its good that due to better media availability many people are discovering him. wish Id recorded him. he gave off such a tranquil aura. this song and river man stood out to me.
As imagens para a canção mostram algo bem curioso: o estranhamento do mundo que Drake sentia, e que várias de suas letras expressam. A vivência do cotidiano, normal, corriqueira, que as pessoas do vídeo vivem, e de que ele estava afastado, como um outsider, forasteiro.
God like!
@ProducShuns His playing is amazing, especially considering the fact that he never overdubbed anything. Everything on this album is done in one take. A few guitar parts are overlaid, if course, but he never used dubbing to correct mistakes. Amazing.
Will Braden , not overlaid his tuning lets the song sound like 2 guitars.
I have been practicing him for years & then picked up his book.
Only 5 songs standard tuning brother.
He truly was genius. Hard enough to write one song yet almost 30 most alternate tuning.
Yeah as Karl alludes to, I believe nothing on the album Pink Moon is overdubbed except for the piano on the title song, Nick's playing is so unique and rhythmic that it gives the illusion of multiple guitars
Homeboy went in with a purpose and laid down an album with just voice and guitar, no overdubs (besides the piano on pink moon)
I particularly like 1.54 and 3.20 to 3.26. the art exhibition reminds me of the kensington end of hyde park where they have similar shows
What was extraordinary wss the size of his hands. The fretboard was his playground.

hello again. its interesting to see the interpretations that have arrived to the lines of the song, and there are probably many more good ones out there. Ive thought of similar, but more direct expressions of his sentiment. George Harrison on" love you to " on revolver talks of people standing round ..wholl fill you in with all the sin they see, and Arthur Lee on " you set the scene " from forever changes mentions the people wearing frowns... wholl screw you up but would rather screw you down...
@tighttritenight Maybe so but I believe this to be his undisputed masterpiece.
@blabalkan He certainly was! One of only two real genius (Jimi the other) in popular music, as far as I'm concerned.
All the best from the little island on the the other side of Europe, mate! :-)
this is so beautiful, fuck
i promised myself i couldn't cry. . .i can't help it.
Get professional help if a youtube vid makes you cry
@@subsamadhi4124, mean troll.
•○●☆That's today☆•○●
@Depechexb cheers i watched a programme about his life and cos there wasnt much footage they had fans cover his songs
It's too bad he never knew how much his music would mean to people.
That's a pretty thought.
it's sad there is actually 13 people on this planet who are tone deaf, and have no musical taste whatsoever (13 dislikes O_O)
Bieber fans
accurate = Pink Moon
@OhGodItHurts Hah! this man has true talent. He is an acoustic virtuoso, with his virtuoso right hand finger-picking style.
His beautifully well crafted lyrics are something the likes that you nor any of your favorite artists could ever compare to.
Of course, if you're hating something like this then you probably only listen to Rap and Dubstep.
@smithsfan92 hes on a list of most influentail artist
@blabalkan Wow! Y'know Blabs, I'd never considered that but you're completely right!
They really don't, do they? So true. You're spot on, they really are extremely passionless people with an almost complete lack of character. I am very grateful to you for helping me along to this realisation!
Only messing of course, mate. You really ARE right. TH-cam is so ridiculous at times, 95% have no respect for another's opinion, lacking the empathy to realise they speak to a human person, not a PC.
@asteriskcolon "whether you believe or if you doubt, whether you understand or if you don't, there is a universal justice and the eyes of truth are always watching you" - Curly M.C.
i did not cry at all, what you talking about.
@smithsfan92 I agree with him being better than everyone BUT the Beatles are the best of the best.
Best singer/songwriters are Drake and Dylan. (imo of course)
and Cohen
@TheDayfornight I think you can find a live performance of "Day is Done", which is one of my favourites. I did once.
@blabalkan
Why would they? They're already listening to perfection :)
Let's fight.
I think "they only smile to see you while" refers to being used, or played by someone. But tthats just what i think of when i hear that line, and i also think that theme follows suit throughout the song in some cases.

Προστέθηκε στα βίντεο που σας αρέσουνε.
@smithsfan92 defiantly should be reconised more but people always use the excuse with this kinda music that it makes me sad NO it is beautiful not sad
Where was that video shot and what year is it approx ? . . . Thanks , would love to know !
@TheDayfornight I was just wondering the same thing.
Stop playing horrible political ads before my Nick Drake videos! :(
@jessemaurais I'm not so sure. He knew well that artists like him were only appreciated when they were dead. Evidenced by his song Fruit Tree.
I'd like to think he knew.
They'll only smile to see you while
Your time away......
We all may look up to see the person fall from the sky to their death. We watch to the very end. When the moment has passed, we look down and carry on our lives; like cattle momentarily disturbed from eating grass. Something happened, but we won't absorb the gravitas as it stops us from remaining in our safe place.
not to try and offend any fans here, but after listening to the mars volta cover of this and this one. i prefer the former. but a great song none the less.
