What a wonderful and sensitive soul you were dear Nick. ❤
Nick Drake was a great guitarist. Such a unique and original sound. He deserves to be on great guitarist lists, even if he isn't as well known as the legends.
Pink moon 💗🌝 R.I.P Nick Drake 😭🙏🏻🙏🏻
I Love this song. So good. And what you said about you ,I like most of your song
You are welcome.
a lethal fingerpicking display by a clock of a player
this song has been in like 43 movies, yet when it was out about 43 people bought the record
if only Nick could know what has happened, and that he is considered one of the all time greats ever to do it
you might review Parasite from this album next
Parasite is perhaps the saddest song on the album to me. Nick’s view of himself as a parasite, taking, and giving nothing. When really his music has given so much to so many. But that’s how he saw it.
@@sopyleecrypt6899 the whole record almost plays like Nick asking questions about why his music is not making it
Daniel's allusion to this in this video is extra prescient, is the song not a romantic plea but a plea for recognition, a way of asking "Whose music are you preferring to mine and why?"
lol. I’m doing Uber and wanted to hear ND and here you are. Love this album.
I also think this album is warm and encouraging behind the melancholy tone. The guitar playing is playful yet nervous almost fidgety while still in perfect time. I think he did use altered tunings and very old dead strings for that flatter darker tone. When I first heard Nick Drake it was the guitar that grabbed me, so precise and understated. Great reaction. Your interpretations of Nicks songs are more insightful and probably closer to What Nick intended than anyone else’s I’ve read.
I love this album too. Been listening to it for about 25 years. I’ve found it’s one you can come back to again and again throughout your life. I saw a cool video once in which a guitarist explained that Drake’s unique sound was partly created by him using very old strings; it’s not possible to replicate with newer strings.
It doesn't get more real, and yet so beautiful as Nick Drake!
It's no secret that Nick Drake was a sensitive and gentle soul and his songs do have that melancholic air but I find his work so soothing. You are getting nearer to my favourite on this album - "Things Behind The Sun" - love the guitar in this beautiful song.
I think I'm really developing a deep appreciation for his music because of your channel.
This is one of my favorite Nick Drake songs! I think of it as being about the choices we make in life and what is behind those choices- it's beautiful!
That was nice, glad you did one of his upbeat tunes. Cheered up a night shift here in the UK thankyou 👍
Cello Song by Nick Drake is my favourite.
Although this album is considered to be his classic, most of my favourite songs contain orchestration. That's why he has to do "Five Leaves Left" and "Bryter Layter" sometime down the road!
Cello Song and From The Morning are my faves. :)
It's the "final album", but the final sessions for a potential 4th album were released in 1974 as "Time of no Reply", with an amazing song titled "Black Eyed Dog", well worth checking out, not filler.
Thank you Daniel for making space to Nick Drake on your channel and in your heart ❤️
Wonderful little number, new to me. And everyone should check out Daniel's new music video. So good.
Such a melancholy song with gorgeous picking. Absolutely love it, nice review.
Thanks Daniel
This album is so good.
Nick Drake is so ‘hanging out in the shade on campus with your friends’ after class. I did.
I cannot listen to Nick’s records without feelings of sadness. His records came out when this sort of music was falling out of fashion, and he got little notice or sales success despite the objectively beautiful and soulful music he made. His short life is one of the saddest stories in pop music from the last century, but he left us some wonderful recordings to remember him by.
To me, it’s even sadder than that. I’m not sure it’s even objectively true that this kind of music was out of favour - if by that you mean singer/songwriter music, because artists like Neil Young and James Tay;or were about to dominate the 70s with their acoustic-based music, and even Nick’s friend John Martin went on to a successful career. I think the real reason was Drake’s inability to perform live. I have a friend who saw Drake at a university gig in England, and he said nobody noticed he was onstage, they talked all the way through his set. He was just to delicate a talent for the music industry.
@@ronbock8291 I think it’s a mistake to liken Nick’s music to Neil Young’s or James Taylor’s. Though I would not call Nick a folk singer, his style was from the folk tradition, whereas those two wonderful artists were much closer to modern pop/rock music. That’s what I meant about a style going out of fashion. Folk was popular in the ‘60s but not so much in the 70s. Joni Mitchell, an artist who was similar to Nick at one point, changed and "modernized" her style after starting out as a folkie. Nick did not. I do not criticize him for this. His style was beautiful just as it was, but perhaps not what the public wanted at the time.
As to his not performing live holding him back, you might have a point, but one of the most successful recording acts of the ‘70s, Steely Dan, was notorious for hardly ever performing live. It did not keep them from selling a ton of albums.
That is quite a sad story about Nick’s being ignored on stage because he was so quiet, and I think it points up what happened to him: he was just too quiet to be heard in the loud, glittering world of’70s popular music.
@@danl.909 I believe that Nick wasn’t a bombastic performer. He wouldn’t talk between songs, interact with the audience. The audience didn’t have the patience to wait for him to tune/retune his guitar for the different songs. Such a shame, people weren’t ready for him and he was too delicate to wait for them to catch up!
Nick Drake takes you to sad but always beautiful places. Love his music!
Btw the next track on the album, Horn, is more of an instrumental interlude. It might be worth skipping it or combining it with the following track, Things Behind the Sun (one of my favourites on this album).
Combine for sure. Skip over, i don't think so!
One of my favorite Nick Drake songs. Also Things Behind the Sun is stellar. Glad you found Nick Drake.
Hey Daniel, I recommend, if you gonna continue with this album, that you listen th next two songs together, since the next one is short although... I'm not gonna spoil!. Have a great one!
One of my 2 favourite songs from the album, the other being place to be. His work is astounding.
Sad and beautiful
And yes, ND used alternate tunings, and usually not conventional ones like Vestapol (open D-ish) or DADGAD or anything like that. There's a good website that goes through what people have figured out as the tunings for his songs.
This album is very stripped down and reflective of his depression. Then, at the end of all the darkness and melancholy, comes “From The Morning”. His parents put a line from this song on his epitaph: Now we rise and we are everywhere.
I heard him in the early 70s and it is true that he did not cut through. It is hard to say why but he fits our time perfectly.
The album as a whole is short, and famously so. He told the producer that he simply had no more to say.
The song, to me, has always felt not just about unrequited love, but the unrequited love of someone who doesn't even take you seriously as a possibility, or maybe doesn't even know you exist. Someone you wish you could be with, but never ever had a chance of being with. Impossibly far away.
Love this beautiful song! First time hearing it. Such a great vibe. Thanks Daniel!
This is such a great record filled with great guitar work as well you should react to Things Behind the Sun great song. What happened to more Radiohead I have been waiting Thom Yorke is a fan of Nick Drake and they have a few Drake like songs.
It makes me sad that he had so much talent…could write such meaningful lyrics and play so well……had great support in the studio and so many people pulling for him, and yet…..he absolutely could not connect live with an audience…..no talk, no eye contact. Too shy…..all,that talent but not the personality to make it shine. Ending in suicide. Tragic, truly.
I saw you reacted to CCR songs, but you haven’t done my favorite CCR song yet, Looking Out my Back Door. You should have fun dissecting the lyrics on that one.
Nobody reacted to milk and honey which I'm not surprised bc nick is such a niche thing to react but I would love u if u do
He is referring to his music in this and not a partner. The choice is his music or someone else’s.
There were many solo artists at the time like John Martyn for example and having learnt John Martyn’s guitar and Nicks - John was definitely influenced by his guitar and tunings.
This comment doesn't belong here. But Midnight Moses is the best Fab. Alex Harvey song BTW. Heavy and catchy. You'll love the funny video! I love you bud. You're like a favorite nephew. Foreigner, Styx, journey. REO. All in my DNA.
*I'm caregiver to my sick father. Gets lonely and negative. You are comforting... and ya make me smile. Try Metallica (kill em all) you will love it.
Introspection perhaps more than melancholy? Lovely, anyway.
I know your style is to pick at songs one by one. But as good as the songs on this album are, the effect of it all is far more powerful when you listen to the album as a whole.
This is actually not at all ideal for me, I have done far more album in full in one video, or going album side by album side. However, lately I've been finding that my intervals of time for recording these have decreased a lot (I also listen to full albums on my own time pretty much daily). Anyways, that's generally why I've been doing a more track by track approach here lately...
I do intend to listen to the whole thing from front to back when I finish making videos about it:)
