- I don't know if I've heard a more beautiful song by Nick Drake than this. He talks about magic in the lyrics, and that's exactly what this song exudes. Pure magic. With the lush instrumentation and Drake's words barely escaping his mouth, it's a heavenly listen.
Thanks for watching!

One of Nick Drake’s best songs. Every song really makes me smile every time I listen to him. I’m so happy you love Nick Drake.
This is such a great song. It’s a shame that he’s no longer with us.
That signature guitar intro heard in so many of his songs was achieved by using "dead" nickel strings. In other words, strings that had far outlived their normal wear and tear. They produce that melancholy sound, and he used them a lot. I love this man so much!
Love Nick Drake. RIP. So tragic, he thought he was a failure. Your music will live on. God Bless.
It's such a wonderful thing when someone can brighten your Northern Sky. It's one of my favorite songs.
All the best from the Netherlands!
His songs are so personal and beautiful
I was in a girlfriends' flat in the early seventies and she had a compilation album playing. This song came on and I instantly became a Nick Drake fan.
It's hard not to after you hear this
Nick drake is my comfort blanket ✌️❤️
I love this song as I can see from your reaction, you do too. Lovely
Nick Drake was/is great. Love him.
His songs are like paintings of pure emotions. The color palette of his songs ranges from the deepest black to the brightest white.
Great track. The whole album is brilliant… and yes this album has way more instrumentation that his other two. Album featuring the legend John Cale too. Other great track to listen to is ‘At the chime of a city clock’…. Dark but light and uplifting at the same time. Has piano, strings saxophone. Amazing song.
My favorite by Nick Drake
such a beautiful song
He was such an enigma and I thoroughly love all his albums. I’d love for you to listen to Time Has Told Me or anything from his first album which remains my favorite ☺️
How about a Nick Drake Thursday?
So twinkly it’s twee. I discovered Nick Drake in the early 80s, via the Fruit Tree box reissue (Island was ahead of its time). Northern Sky simply blew me away. It still has the effect of hearing it for the first time. On the other hand, I’m a northern boy and come by my nostalgia honestly. The only benefit to dying so tragically young was leaving a perfect discography.
hes got some really great gems i know youd like
Thanks for this!!
Absolutely love this song. Try Hazey Jane II next
KING SIZE!
This is my favourite Nick Drake song. Many, many people talk about Pink Moon as *the* Nick Drake album, but for me it has always been Bryter Layter.
Don't get me wrong, I adore the other albums too, but I'm a sucker in particular for the arrangements on this album, the beautiful orchestration just elevates everything. John Cale is also an actual genius, so you have that element too.
Not 100% positive, but I think this was the first Nick song I heard and I'm glad it was. So beautiful. It made the choice to dive into his tragically limited discography an extremely easy one.
He had loads of famous session men ..... this tune has John Cale on piano. Elton John played on 5 leaves
Totally beautiful!
This is tremendous
Great to see you revisiting Nick Drake. Nice that you mention John and Beverley Martyn. Following his death, his good friend and fellow singer-songwriter John Martyn wrote the song "Solid Air" in his honor -- well worth a listen. Both Martyn (died 2009) and Drake are often seen as singers of despair.
Solid Air was indeed both written for and inspired by Nick Drake by his good friend John Martyn but I think it was released before his passing.
@@lukebarton5075 Thanks for the correction! Indeed, the album came out in Feb 1973 and Nick Drake died in Nov 1974.
Twinkling ✨ glad you enjoyed it man nick drake has some really nice songs I'd suggest from the morning love that one makes me sad but in a happy way hard to explain.
It's magic crazy how the beginning of "Northern Sky," "Melissa" by the Allman Brothers (th-cam.com/video/71xvwVQABvw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=SIfyTNTnhgebTcFJ), "Make It With You" by Bread (th-cam.com/video/OudI2JPhEqQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0Uw3hwWzKf2mQRg6), and "Watch Me" by Labi Siffre (th-cam.com/video/MQfJDQxcjmg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qvZPxjBeUJJbhtg1) all have similar beginnings.
The YT channel 'Word In Your Ear', hosted by veteran music journalists Mark Ellen and David Hepworth, often feature Nick Drake and document the various misfortunes of his career.
