Nick Drake - Now we rise and we are everywhere
/ nick-drake-now-we-rise...
Nick is my all time favorite artist. His body of work is a requiem to the introvert. In his own time his career suffered by his unease with performing. He just couldn’t get a foothold. What he couldn’t do in live performance is unrestricted however for the listener of his recorded tracks.
Thus with the ushering in of technology which led to mass availability of music over the internet Nick has found an ever refreshing base of fans. He didn’t know it then but he was singing to the future.
❤
R.I.P NICK
Hope you're now flying free of sadness and pain
that's so sweet. thanks for writing this.
RIP Nick we all still miss you thank you so much for your wonderful music.
Lucky enough to have seen him play at Sheffield City Hall supporting the Fairports. Shame he never got the recognition he deserved whilst he was alive
How was the show?
fantastic you got to see him. Wow.
Now that is fucking special

its been four years , we need more info MAN!
I love Nick Drake. I found him on a tv commercial and finally found him. His music will endure
Only recently I discovered that he was my cousin(twice removed).I wish we had known each other when I lived in Britain.
His music is so evocative.
One of my favourite singer/songwriters to ever live. Rest in Peace.
I was watching a video about a Guild guitar I was interested in. The guy starts talking about Nick Drake. I thought who is that. Looked up his music and heard 3 hours for the first time. Music the pulls hard on the soul... OMG!!! Hooked ever since.
PULLS HARD ON THE SOUL is putting it VERY MILDLY ....God bless you for the comment .....
Very
God wanted his own troubadour. That’s why Nick is no more. Each of his words touch the soul like fingers touch the strings. Resonating in eternity. I love his music. Very few people can reach his highs and depths. He was one of a kind, that’s for sure.
Joe Boyd is some kind of genius running a major production company plus he is a very good writer. I have his book "White Bicycles" It must be hard to be a gatekeeper, like editors, screenplay analysts... I think it's a real genius who can listen to music and know its potential and all the different hats they must wear to make it all happen. It was great Nick had met him as we might not have been able to experience his music today. Thanks smoking5744 for a very nice video!
We also owe Pink Floyd in no small part to Joe.
I grew up in the Philly area in the early 70s. It had at that time a huge influence on Rock music Bowie, Springsteen etc, it also had a vibrant folk scene, but I never heard Nick Drake. It wasn't until the late 80's that I heard this guy's wonderful music. Great songwriter and excellent guitarist. Like Sandy Denny taken too young. Thank you sir for some BEAUTIFUL songs! This music was too good for the likes of Philly.
How about 66 years old and just now discovered Nick Drake? And just now realized how many of my other favorite artists trying to find his style
@@MarioRossi-lh7rr Hi Mario! Me too! I"m 68 and after playing in public first time at coffeehouse open mics when I was 64 people started telling me I sounded like Nick Drake. I had never heard of him. A year passed and suddenly one day while at home his name came to my memory and found him on TH-cam. I then became a fan and discovered Sandy Denny, John Martyn... There's no way I'm as good as Nick was. Maybe it's because of some of the chords I play and lean toward the melancholy sounding songs people have told me that quite a few times. I feel like you though, and wonder how much time had passed and never heard of him. I think a lot of people in the US mainly heard US and Canadian musicians. I never could afford a stereo and albums but listened a lot on radio. When my sister moved home again in '72 she had a very nice album collection and I heard a lot through her, but not Nick or really the European artists.
listening to his guitar is mesmerizing trying to follow and blending his low vocals. i listen to Ray Lamontagne and he sounds like Nick reincarnated to me
ah but you had Curtis Mayfield don't forget that
Thank you you tube,took me so long😢
When I'm in an passive and introspective mood I listen to my three Nick Drake albums. Nick was a child out of time . His music is deserving of a much wider audience.
Im like Nick Drake music, it's very wonderfool liric.
Hello from Vladivostok! I'm sorry, my inglish very bad!
Not as bad as my Russian! 🙂
God Bless you, my music friend. 🤠
@bartonknight2677 hey yall❤
his 3 albums are always with me wherever I am, both on CD and vinyl
A rare (troubled) soul that used his pain asa insperation..to touch Hearts..!
Could not have put it better : you write like he did : GOD BLESS the both of you !!!
incredible artist ... takes your soul and plays with the voice and the worlds that makes you imagine ... TOP
Thank you for profoundly beautiful music . R I P
he was the sound of spiritual youth
I don't get why Nick wouldn't travel with multiple guitars, each in a specific tuning he used. It would have saved so much uncomfort on stage.
That Australian guy looks like Nick Drake
Very english. Kate Bush is another one. I'd like to hear Richard Thompson do Black eyed dog. That would special.
One of my favorites ever since I discovered him 30-ish years ago. Too bad you never knew what a mark you made
He was as shy as I was through my 20s.
Nick was the first artist I ever heard express misgivings with our Societal & Economic arrangements which worked against humanity. So the verisimilitude of his words are rather stark & shocking but not immediately until the 3 albums build a much bigger picture of his antipathy for all but Nature, & his ability to see through the superficiality.
The isolation came from not relating to people who would never cease fawning about pointless culture. Sport, Politics, Business, Fashion, etc. would bore him. Yet he could never have a sagacious an objective conversation about profound matters which were beginning to envelope the world. He attributed much of his lack of success to this cultural aberration.
This isolation in turn threatened his stability and lead to destitution. Poverty is structural violence & causes behavioral violence. But in the end, he was only violent to himself.
It's kind of sad that people have merely offered love to a memory instead of heeding his words and changing in the way that would benefit us all.
How pretentious,I bet you went to art school.
@@mjh5437 I was abused from birth, social services got involved, I was then fostered several times, & adopted by rageaholics until it sadly became physical & they divorced. I went to a school where you weren't allowed to drink water during class & I live a very solitary life due to trauma.
Art school? I don't even know what that is. Apologies if my persona offends you. It was not my intention. I just have an alternative perspective after attending several lectures of the late Jacque Fresco (1916-2017) - who changed my entire view of reality.
So I suppose I am pretentious. Yes!
You communicative command of our language really ... augment our understanding of Nick. Thank you so much
@@bartonknight2677 Thank you. Your words are a welcomed change from the malice I usually get!
@@calderarecords Of course. You radiate intelligence, patience and compassion. I'm very empathic ... so I'm very in touch, ha, with limited touch. I am a singer songwriter... so your perspective on Nick helps me to better understand, myself. I really wish you light and love and goodness. Thank you for messaging me back. Made me happy. Brighter Lyter. 🤠
Just read the new biography. Check it out. Then listen to his music again. You will learn gratitude.
They have to make a musical with his music.
terrible idea, the concert Joe was talking about is beautiful, but not a musical!!
Admittedly I hate musicals, but the cheesiness and false emotion from hired hands would be completely at odds with the soul and feel of the music of Nick Drake.
We were so lucky we had Joe Boyd, and Witchseason to recognise the talent. Thinking back, there was just SO much good music back then, but the successful artists were the ones that went out on the road, interviewed etc. So here we are. Just the records and snippets and memories. With nearly 50 years since he died, it all builds a huge rather moody mystique. But a huge talent, nonetheless.
Watching other people playing his music is so odd, as there is so much intensity and po-faced earnestness it makes me cringe. I think the recognition, Nick would've loved, but also, "oh goodness, have a spliff and enjoy it...".
Smoking cannabis contributed to his depression and suicide so I doubt it.
There must be some super 8 or similar film of Nick.
We all miss you, Nick!
nope nothing
Her tall figure can be seen few seconds heading for a concert. But he is from behind.
Yes there’s a brief clip of him walking away from the camera through a crowd. It’s rather eerie to watch honestly. At 6”3 he was a lanky head and shoulders above the crowd. You never see his face.. just his head bowed as he presses forward, forever shrouded in mystery from his adoring fans.
I believe it's a myth that it's Nick, and more wishful thinking by his many admireres, including myself .
Sort of like John Kennedy O'Toole's plight.
Searching for the sugar man
Wish he have had the same "luck" to be recognized while still here, like Rodriguez man...
Does Boyd love Nick Drake's work, or is he just being nice? Hard to know what he really thinks
As Joe Boyd was instrumental in keeping Nick's albums continuously in print, I'd say the former
Good to see Luluc in the video.
Nick Drake was way ahead...!
Here's Luluc and Lisa Hannigan having a moment with one of Nicks songs..

All the covers I heard in this concert were absolutely revolting...hipsters trying way too hard. Only Josh Turner does Nick any justice
As with Sandy Denny, covers of Nick Drake songs always seem a bit pointless.
I particularly like what JOSH TURNER did with RALPH STANLEY !!!!
@@freakybeaky1 Yes, that is a fair point. I can see the appeal of live renditions of their songs, but not so much with recorded versions.
Agree about Josh Turner
whose the duo in the doco?
I’d give anything to have them release the first 2 albums with only vocals and guitar.
The “production” wasn’t Nick at all…just what someone else wanted there. It’s a shame.
If you read Richard Morton Jack's 'The Life' you'll know it was a collaborative effort. Nick wouldn't have allowed anything that he didn't like.
@@Polygor2 Thanks! I'll definitely look into that. I would still love the first 2 albums with only guitar and vocals though.
@@michaelyolch79 I'd like the same with Cat Stevens first two albums
Maybe,he hated the pretentious posers around him.
It's,hard NOT TO !!!!

Drake was totally successful, but not in the crude, crass, commercial way Boyd worships.
Nick drake was definitely not successful whatsoever in his time sadly.
@@Ziad3195 Yeah, right, the music, which is the whole point of music, was totally successful. The business of music and the market, is something else entirely.
as usual...Joe Boyd adds nothing to this. Same repetitive nonsense like he does with Syd..
Boyd has taken to speaking with a British accent. A few more years, Sir Lawrence Olivier, and the transformation will be complete.
@@edmundmcgrath213 Clearly you're not overly familiar with British accents.
I'm grateful that he signed them. He had a remarkable appreciation for English artistry.
