He's not layering guitars. He was just a really talented fingerpicker. This is a perfect album with so much humanity and wisdom. Please please react to Ys by Joanna Newsom if you want some more superb folk lyricism and dexterous fingerpicking (in this case plucking, as she's a harpist).
1) It's one guitar done live in the studio, no overdubs, recorded in 1971, 2) The album was completed over 2 days of recording, most of them in one take.
Extremely sad album considering how bad Nick Drake was mentally, he was very very ill when he made this album. I finished reading the new book about him just a week ago and I felt shocked after I finished it. He struggled immensely after 1970 until he died in 1974. I hope he is in better place now.
Such an amazing record. Would love to see a reaction to Elliott Smith's self-titled. It's one of his most stripped-back, bare albums. The guitar work and songwriting is near perfect imo. My personal favorite by him.
Also I’m gonna throw Marty Robbins-gunfighter ballads and trail songs in as an extra recommendation. I don’t even like country but it’s banger after banger
Never listened to Nick Drake before…I’ll have to check more of his discography out. Good stuff man. Some albums for your consideration: Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam Brand New - Science Fiction The Mars Volta - The Mars Volta 🍻
My favourite Nick Drake album is his second, Bryter Layter, not least because it's more varied instrumentally while keeping the quality of the songwriting as high as ever.
you should listen to Nick Drake’s mother, Molly Drake’s album “A Tide’s Magnificence.” it’s similarly gorgeous and poetic and provides so much context for how Nick came to develop his sound and poetry
It's not entirely clear if he took his own life or if it was an accidental overdose. Still incredibly sad that he died so young and didn't see how popular and influential his music would become one day. RIP Nick
please listen to arcade fire’s “funeral” one of the best records of the 2000s, they’re the predecessor of black country, new road and they have a pretty similar sound palette
My favorite description of Nick Drje from the Rolling Stone Album Guide. "You can increase the volume, but Nick Drake will never be loud." He had three albums. Hus debut, Five Leaves Left, and his final album Pink Moon both got 5 stars. The middke album got 4 stars. Nick had severe mental problems that increaeed over his career and he took himself out too soon.
Judee Sill’s Heart Food, released the following year, is another killer album of the 1970s singer-songwriter "genre" - less spare, more produced than Pink Moon, but just as much of a beautiful little gut-punch.
I like the outdoor reaction format (threat of rain notwithstanding). But those woods are a bit distracting. I keep expecting some sort of bigfoot crossover episode to happen.
This album shocked and disturbed his family when he released it, to the extent that they never were able to listen much to it. They thought it was a garish, grotesque display of his worsening mental illness, and saw in it harbingers of his impending death.
Love this album, you should do a Fugazi album at some point if you want some punk/post hardcore type shit, 13 songs or repeater is a good place to start.
kind of in the same folksy vein, I think youve gotta get to Bob Dylan at some point. Bringing It All Back home is probably my favorite, but I think highway 61, blonde on blonde and blood on the tracks are all fine places to start
Every so often I'll search for nick drake reactions and I so happen to come across yours today! I highly recommend you check out his 2nd album Bryter Layter, another amazing album of his. You just got yourself another sub 👍
To my knowledge, the only girl he had a "crush" on was French singer and Icon Françoise Hardy whose album La Question I HIGHLY recommend, you don't need to understand french to get it. It's a mix of french chanson and bossa nova, very pure and dark in the same way. To me they go together hand in hand.
Revisiting and thanking you again. Also your "studio" is fucking fire. Which Way I dropped in a mixtape for my GF in like 03... I'm 42. It didn't help lol. You should do the other 2 records (if you have time and outdoor space... and interest of course).
Great video as always! Love the whole outside vibe. I'm going to recommend something completely different than this album and it's Death Grips - "The Money Store."
I really hope I could see you react to teens of denial, I loved your reaction to twin fantasy. It would just be cool to see you go more into my favourite artist
heres an album for you, and its pretty different from anything ive watched you react to… Attention Shoppers by Neros Day at Disneyland. i dont wanna tell you what genre it is or anything but ill just say in advance: sorry for hurting your ears. 😭

Truly one of a kind

It remains consistent
I wish you were here to see it
@@NamelessFacelessWhoa i like it
The more i look at it… the more i like it… i do think its good!
My favorite album of all time hands down
Same bro
parasite is definitely my favorite on pink moon it’s so underrated and gets better each time i listen to it
same here! seeing the spotify streams has always really baffled me…
Parasite and harvest breed are my faves
Thing behind the sun and place to be tie at my favourite on this album. My favourite song of his is river man or day is done
One of the greatest acoustic albums of all time, black as tar.
Extremely sad album considering how bad Nick Drake was mentally, he was very very ill when he made this album. I finished reading the new book about him just a week ago and I felt shocked after I finished it. He struggled immensely after 1970 until he died in 1974. I hope he is in better place now.
what’s the name of the book? I would love to read it
Yes! Nick Drake is one of my favorite singer/songwriters. And a major influence on my own music. I love all 3 of his albums. His life was tragic.
Such an amazing record. Would love to see a reaction to Elliott Smith's self-titled. It's one of his most stripped-back, bare albums. The guitar work and songwriting is near perfect imo. My personal favorite by him.
I second this
They are oddly kin. Agreed would be a great reaction.
The music has affected the weather! 😱
This is def one of my favorite albums, good shit
Also I’m gonna throw Marty Robbins-gunfighter ballads and trail songs in as an extra recommendation. I don’t even like country but it’s banger after banger
@@maxwagner6342I second this☝️
@@maxwagner6342 I third this! 👆
real
This channel is gonna blow up im sure
Never listened to Nick Drake before…I’ll have to check more of his discography out. Good stuff man.
Some albums for your consideration:
Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
Brand New - Science Fiction
The Mars Volta - The Mars Volta
🍻
My favourite Nick Drake album is his second, Bryter Layter, not least because it's more varied instrumentally while keeping the quality of the songwriting as high as ever.
perfect late summer/autumn album. i almost prefer five leaves left though, both brilliant albums
you should listen to Nick Drake’s mother, Molly Drake’s album “A Tide’s Magnificence.” it’s similarly gorgeous and poetic and provides so much context for how Nick came to develop his sound and poetry
Sadly took his own life one day, he had depression and NOW through adverts on television 📺 has got exposure FINALLY
R.I.P. Nick Drake.
C
It's not entirely clear if he took his own life or if it was an accidental overdose. Still incredibly sad that he died so young and didn't see how popular and influential his music would become one day. RIP Nick
@@friendlystranger9662 True, good point.
please listen to arcade fire’s “funeral”
one of the best records of the 2000s, they’re the predecessor of black country, new road and they have a pretty similar sound palette
this dude's allergic to missing
Another classic one for you to react would be the cure´s disintegration, surprised you haven´t reviewed it yet tbh

Check out his first album Fives Leaves Left, beautiful orchestral work on classic tunes: River Man, Way To Blue.

Yes so true. The album also shocked a lot of his friends too.
the best album of all time, especially how he was doing mentally and emotionally at the time
Gotta listen to Bryter Layter or Five Leafs Left by him!
Love this album, you should do a Fugazi album at some point if you want some punk/post hardcore type shit, 13 songs or repeater is a good place to start.

day 6 of To see the next part of the dream by parannoul (also major w for reacting to this album, one of my all time faves)

Pink Moon refers to how the moon will look after nuclear armageddon.
coming back here for good vibes while i'm drunk
please listen to black country, new road’s “for the first time”
amazing art punk and post-rock album
Northern Sky is my favorite Nick Drake song 1st heard from a cover by Sufjan's buddy, Denison Witmer
Listen to Titanic Rising by weyes blood, i think you'll like it
You need to listen to Solid Air from John Martyn, who was a friend of Nick Drake. MASTERPIECE

"aesthetic" rain drops?
another banger video
Great video as always! Love the whole outside vibe.
I'm going to recommend something completely different than this album and it's Death Grips - "The Money Store."
My exact music taste lol
being outside is fitting for this lol i fw this
I recommend Blonde on Blonde by Bob Dylan
Thanks for doing this one!
I recomend - Midlake - The trials of van ocupanther
Synchronicity is strong today
shlagenhein by black midi. the debut album of black country new road, stumpwork by dry cleaning or black metal by dean blunt
I really hope I could see you react to teens of denial, I loved your reaction to twin fantasy. It would just be cool to see you go more into my favourite artist
Love this one, sad given context
Recommendation: 100 Acres of Sycamore, Dreamboat Annie, Living with Ghosts, Satellite Sky, Martinis and Bikinis
Five leaves left is also a great album. More produced
when a guy's wearing koss porta pros you better BELIEVE he knows his music
For as good as Pink Moon is, his debut "Five Leaves Left" is just as good, if not better.
Horn makes me so sad idk why
Similarly sad album, is “Bert Jansch” a self titled man and guitar record which is as miserable as it is brilliant
Nah, you fudged the opening chord which is the satisfying moment
Nick drake got that dog in em
listen to 'teens of denial' by car seat headrest, i listened to it yesterday and oh my GOD is it good
When did listening to music become a spectator sport?
That cold open though
I strongly recommend listening to Montell Fish’s album JAMIE
you should check out Black country new road's first album "For The First Time" its so gooooood😄
Very different vibe but I highly recommend “A Portable Memory Of” by Joan of Arc if you haven’t heard it yet. Legendary midwest emo record
the album is obviously great but it's a really difficult listen, maybe due to the context.
Yea no layering thats all him in a take singing and playing everything at the same time
Pink moon means death
heres an album for you, and its pretty different from anything ive watched you react to… Attention Shoppers by Neros Day at Disneyland. i dont wanna tell you what genre it is or anything but ill just say in advance: sorry for hurting your ears. 😭
Listen to the Nier Automata soundtrack 👾
If you want mire unstruments listen to the first two albums.
listen to race by alex g
R.I.P
Do "Dig Your Own Hole " From The Chemical Brothers

🙌
