Geese cover Nick Drake for SoS and The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline

"The most important thing in mental health is really talking about it. It's really hard, you know, cuz those conversations are, are almost never fun. Forming a unit and a little family, you know, especially when it feels like a lot of things are moving around and there's a lot of changing scenery and a lot of new things and new people. It's something that you kind of honestly need." - Geese

Today we’re releasing our next video in partnership with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and our “Song That Found Me At The Right Time” series. This one features the rising New York City based indie rock band, Geese performing the song “Place to Be” by the great ‪@NickDrakeOfficial‬ The quintet formed in high school assuming that the band would break up upon graduation. But all changed when they released a few self produced singles and they saddled up with their manager Willy and started to receive label interest. Soon the band would be opening for Jack White and selling out the Bowery. Their influences range from indie rock bands like Deerhunter to post punk artists like, Joy Division to classic rock acts like Van Morrison.

“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”

goddamn they've got good taste, they picked the perfect Nick Drake song to cover -- that one has always stood out to me as my favorite off that album.

[@sp1ralg1rl]

love geese, they make great music and they are so well spoken!!

[@dumbldawg744]

i agree

[@chriswing1217]

Except for the excessive use of the word "like".....definitely an indication of their youth.

[@chriswing1217]

But a great band nonetheless, I've become obsessed with their music after discovering them only days ago.

[@OMGusGonzalez]

That's a great cover. They really got Drake's guitar sound down, which is hard to do. Such a beautiful and moving song by an artist still woefully unappreciated and makes sense to pick one of his songs for suicide awareness.

How is Nick Drake unappreciated?

[@churchvan]

​@@jeff7764 how is he not? The average person has no idea he even existed

[@churchvan]

Man, this band rules

[@elusory3735]

0:36 i think this might be the song Jesse. They released that one not too long ago. Cool to hear it pop up here.

[@skirval_]

Jesse had been floating around in live shows for a fair few years and for sure this has gotta be Jesse

[@melomane]
