"You're rare, rare find. A troubled cure. For a troubled mind." Oh do I have someone in mind when I hear those lyrics and this song. It's interesting, the people that come into your life; interesting is just one of the many great ways to describe this person. You also can't be sure just how long they'll be in your life either. Whatever they are doing now, I hope life is treating them with all the love, kindness and happiness it has to offer, and that that their dreams, their goals are being met. This song puts me at ease whenever I think of them, and all of Nick Drake's wonderful music. I couldn't be more grateful for discovering them both.
He was too good to be on a stage at any given time, people probably wouldn't even know how to appreciate it in the way they should. I'm glad he kept off the stage and embraced his own mysticism and poetry in his own way, on his own.
If anyone wants to hear more of Nick's speaking voice which sounds eerily like Prince Charles he recorded himself talking after getting home drunk from a party late one night, just search "Nick Drake morning monologue" and it will be on TH-cam. That's the only time I've really heard him speak more than a few words in the studio like here.
Sapere che sempre più persone si avvicinano alla musica di questo genio, da me seguito fin dagli albori, è una grande soddisfazione, vuol dire che non si ascolta solo spazzatura! Avanti così
Unfortunately you have mistaken being perceptive with being wise. Wisdom would have saved Nick. Wisdom is the application of self-knowledge and worldly knowledge in day to day living. He either would have been able to handle performing to allow him to achieve the recognition he deserved or he would have just said 'bollocks to it' and wrote songs living a quiet life. It's very rare that anyone of Nick's age as he was at that time has the sense of perspective required to be wise.
@@robmaddison8645 You say that, as if every IS-BE should strive to seek the same things you do. Some of us don't care or have other plans in mind. Circumstances do at times, have a way of forcing us to make certain decisions. Which are just as valid, there's no absolute answer as to how one should live their life. The soul is the one that ascribes meaning after all.

@Otis Dorr8 despite your response, wisdom is undoubtedly achieved through experience. That was my point. An intuition that the sum total of people do things wrong is not wisdom. Wisdom is the effort to improve oneself, or those around you, in the working against folly and fallacy.
the lesson learned we are..... that takes us......heard we are.... that no one sees... is us that speak and want to be heard... does any one hear.....what we speak....do you hear.... what is said.....that we say..... are we not like us at the beginning of us that sang and spoke what no one listened to... that some learned to love.... the song we sang... that all learned to love...... yes time repeats...... us.......time plays us to be what we are no longer.......... listen..
He says 'Sorry, got the tempo wrong'. I was thinking that he was then going to play the slow version on the record, then proceeds to play it at exactly the same tempo. I could never figure that one out.
Nick was the troubled cure for many of the troubled minds in this world.
'Oh sorry, got the tempo wrong', What a legend Nick Drake is.
did he? it sounds quite the same to me.
his craft was amazing.

i also always thought that the musician is more belong to recording room than being on stage. Rip uncle nick.
if you can hear me nick... thank you ♡
Every single one of his songs are a treasure... wow
The only time I have any patience with poetry is when it's presented so perfectly as this...
I love Nick's voice and it makes you feel like he's just now recording this song. His music makes my heart come alive. Peace
I've just discovered Nick Drake and his music is so beautiful ♥️
The voice and hypnotic rhythms so captivating....you can't help but be swept along.
Another beautiful song from a beautiful artist.
In time, he was not recognized - and not by me either.
Time has told us he was a rare, rare find.
So intimate, and personal real and true... in other words beauty!

He was a gift .
I'm so glad Nick sang in his thick English accent.

So smooth, I like how gentle his voice is, such a shame that he isn't around to lighten up the radio
This is such a delightful GEM!!!
thank you Nick. You were our bright compass !!
Those first few words somehow tell me all I need to know about Nick .
What a delight these raw demos are. ♥
❤ You Nick Drake
So good to hear these studio(?) tapes, really liking this version...less orchestrally melodic and fits the song perfectly. Thanks!
I wish the first two albums were just Nick and his acoustic. Especially Five Leaves Left.....
love you nick
Thanks for posting this. Beautiful.
that age , that talent. I would say even jim morrison pick something from his look
he was wise for his age
Recorded the Five Leaves Left album at 20 which is hard to believe.

the reels had started to oxidize when this was digitized.
I love Richard Thompson but this is THE version.
❤
Magnificant !!!!
Awesome!
classic.

can you hear a difference in the tempo?
Cai slightly faster the second time. Really good of Nick to notice the slight difference in tempo and adjust
Where is this recording from please?
Side by side with dylan, such potencial...
