- One of my favourites of Nick's, recorded on my trusty Tascam reel to reel. We all have songs whose lyrics seem to have been written just for us, this is one of mine. Thanks for listening!

Outstandingly performed and recorded. Really, really impressive.
Nice one Josh! Really love your tune 'Rockaway', great writing.
Both George and Josh play and sing to a level that would compel Nick to bow his head in admiration! Always wishing you George and Josh God's Loving Peace! @@georgeboomsmamusic
@@bobjoyner7174Couldn’t agree more!! These two gents are incredible and do Nick justice completely.
Cheers!@@marajade893
"...now I'm weaker than the palest blue..." One of Nick's greatest lyrics and so tenderly sung on this great performance! My hat's off to you, sir 👍
Thanks very much Steve! 👍👍
I love that lyric because I read it and thought "huh I guess pale blue is a pretty weak color, never thought of it like that."
Wow.... this made me cry... this interpretation of nick's song really hit me. It made me think about in what kind of dark place he must have been at the time. So sad the world lost this musical wonder. Thankyou for this cover man.
Thanks Jeena for the kind words - really glad you liked it!
wow this is the first cover of "place to be" that manages to sound beautiful even though it's played differently
Thanks! Go check out Nick's home demo recording of the tune - that's what I based it on.
@@georgeboomsmamusic oh okay will definitely do that. I had no clue there was a demo version
Someone give this guy a record deal! God damn! What a way to modernize this song and it make it your own. Very impressive.
Ha thanks very much! 🙌🙌
When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older, see it face to face
And now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place
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
And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you
Nice
Beautiful and wonderfully hypnotising to have the reels spinning as you perform
Very glad you enjoyed, cheers.
You are breaking my heart ...lovely stuff..
:) too kind
my ears are pleased. thank you!
Thank you! 🙌
I can listed to this 100 times... Think I will.
Ha brilliant, really glad you like it 👍👍
This should have millions of views, absolutely amazing cover and beautifully recorded ❤
Ah nice one Marty! Real glad you enjoyed it 👍
Bravo. You nailed the soul of this song. Your guitar and vocals are lovely but nobody can do this properly,.or even try, without knowing depth and pain. Your rendition of my all-time favorite song is simply beautiful. Thank you. 🙏
Really appreciate it Brett, all the best!
Very nice ... remarkable voice. Thank you, George!
Cheers! 🙌
I cried. Thank you.
Thank you Hugo!
Saw you play this at the Gathering in 2019, the highlight of the show. You did a quick strum before you began playing and I said to my friend, he's going to play the home demo version of Place To Be. Brought him to tears it did.
Had such a beaut day, hopefully get down for it again one year! Cheers Rich
Truly beautiful take on this song. I come back to this over the actual song more often than not.
Thanks very much! 🙌
I really felt it when you sang "In this need for you" :,)
Cheers Ratul ha! 🙌
@@georgeboomsmamusic More power to you! Please keep the flame alive, always, for us!
@@ratulupadhyay I'll do my best! 👍👍
You rock! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Ha cheers very much! 👍👍
You and Nick Drake are two extraterrestrials that came here to save humanity
We come in peace!

I'm completely hit by its beauty. Wonderful rendition.
Thank you Raphael!
This is so underrated. Your talent is beyond words. Great job!
Nice one Bees!
La più bella cover in assoluto di Place to be
Grazie mille!
Beautiful......
Thanks very much :)
This is really excellent. Great voice + great guitar, can't go wrong.
Nice one Jacob!
Love it ! Really a great cover, you nailed that Nick Drake vibe that is so hard to replicate.
Nice one!
Again im here, thank you for the music. It is possible to hear, "One of this things first" . "Know", "Hayze jane II"
Ta very much for coming back! Good requests I’ll have a play 👍
This is beautiful. I am a huge nick Drake fan and there aren't many people who I personally like to cover his songs. This is amazing though and you have such a beautiful voice. Peace and love to all.
Thanks for the kind words Lee, cheers!
Wow…just came across this and I’m taken back by how beautiful your voice and playing is. Amazing video sir one of my favourite songs of all time
Thanks so much Joe, cheers! 🙌
Very very good man !!!! Nick drake was a Van Gogh of music 😢
Thank you very much! Similarities for sure, a brilliant song writer
Brilliant and very moving, and if Josh Turner thinks so too you must be a rare talent
Cheers Neil!
Absolutely beautiful cover - Nick would be proud
Ahh thank you!
What a great cover, your voice is really good mate
Nice one Matt, appreciate that!
Such an amazing cover. You capture the way the original makes me feel very well. But you Version feels more intimate and delicate
Thanks so much Yannik! 🙌
Been a fan for over 45 years Corey. Fantastic renditions with your own voice adding. Have never really heard a cover (with vocals) that has any of the tunes their due. Because nobody sounds like Nick. Yet you have achieved this. Feel very proud my man!
Thanks very much Hugh, appreciate that! 👍👍
What have i just heard? I have loved Nick Drake's music since first hearing him way back early 1970. I still have and treasure those albums bought back then. Over the years I have heard many try to cover his work but none so full of emotion as this. Thank You so much George.
He has a beautiful collection of work that still holds it's own today - really glad you enjoyed the video Gerard - cheers!
Absolutely stunning. Thank you🦋😘xxx
Thank you Cathryn!
Best cover of this song I’ve heard so far 👍🏽
Nice one Daniel!
Wonderful!!!
Thank you!
A good recording. Good clarity and expression. well done.
Nice one James, cheers!
God, that was beautiful
Thank you!
Thanks George. Heartbreaking. You make the words and the poetry work together so well. Nick would be the same age as me now. Think what he could have done.
Thank you Peter, really kind words there!
Those good old tape recorders still do the job ! Reevox, Teac... 👍
That they do! 🙌
Oh George! That's sounds like vitamin C to me! Thanks so much
Ha great stuff Erian, nice one!
beautiful clarity in the accompaniment
Thank you!
Oh my days this is amazing.
Nice one Buddy! 👍👍
boomdaddy go off fr fr no cap str8 heat my g, shits nice

This is a masterpiece, George
Thanks very much!
finally someone not trying to sing it exactly like drake. thank you for this version.
Thanks very much!
I would rather say, finally someone who can sing and also has a beautiful voice. 😉
Wow. Amazing. Your voice, guitar playing and the sound is really good. I have been a Nick Drake fan since 1997. Until I heard your cover today I didn't believe anyone could match Nick's voice or do a great cover of his songs.
Nice one Joe! Appreciate that mate, cheers 👍👍
Yeah, good work here, thank you.
Nice one! 👍
Absolutely stunning rendition of Place to Be! Thank you for sharing George! 🥰🙏🏾🙌🏾

I liked this almost instantly. You play beautifully and I like your take on the picking pattern. Wish I could play it this good.

Wow what a voice! Also such beautiful picking! This is great in every aspect! I heard your fine rendition before but seems I didn't comment, which I can hardly believe as you are amazing! Thanks for sharing!

This is so beautiful George. I've been listening every day for weeks now🥲
Thanks so much Dfoosky! 👍👍
I listened to it 4 times in24 hours.
Ha brill! Thanks :D@@spendor9377
@@georgeboomsmamusic It’ll be in double digits in no time. Stuck it on my favourites. I’m sure Nick would like it if he were here today.👏✌️💯
@@georgeboomsmamusic Those lyrics are more relatable to this young generation than mine. I sent it to my 22 year old son and he said he feels sad at leaving the rosiness of childhood behind him.
Wow, chills.
Cheers again Andy! 👍👍
such a great tone from a relatively affordable guitar
It's a beauty!
terrific cover, well done. Nick's fingerpicked home recording however has an operatic level of grandeur in sound and feel, that is truly a level no one seems to have attained yet.
Cheers Matt! Yeah his demo version is brilliant 👍
Mesmerizing
Thanks Deanna!
Coming back to get more goose bumps, thank you for sharing such talent yet also sharing what goes beyond talent as you rise so "strong in the sun".
Thanks very much, glad repeat listens are just as good as the first!
Ufff. The best cover this song. Saludos desde Argentina!
