Guest jim Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 That's definitely his best song. String arrangement is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 That's definitely his best song. String arrangement is great. Definitely! I've also got an alternative version of the tune with no strings at all. It's so raw. Beautiful stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I think I like every Nick Drake song, but yeah River Man is the best. My plan was to waltz in here and post it to spread the awesome, but I see that was the first thing covered. If I could add 10 years to any past musician's life, I might to choose to give it to Drake... along with some antidepressants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest arbee Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 yes ! river man is great, love this tune... but I just always go back to that pink moon album. I just listened to it about 3 times today. nick drake's music is always near of me, I play that stuff a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S40DdlD9JxI Way to Blue is up there with Riverman for best Nick Drake song. This is a really naked piano version that I only just heard for the first time. It holds up rather well, powerful in its starkness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJW Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1YsFgDaEeo For me Five Leaves Left is his finest, however all his albums are beautiful. Even the stripped down home recordings of Family Tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squee Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Nick Drake > Bob Dylan but then I think Bob Dylan's a piss artist so I would say that Bob Dylan's songs are best when they're being covered by other artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuEifYmYH-I This is a short little tune from Nick Drakes mum Molly, who wasn't a recording artist but used to write songs as a hobby. I think its lovely and easy to see where Nick got his skills from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan was to waltz in here and post it to spread the awesome, but I see that was the first thing covered. If I could add 10 years to any past musician's life, I might to choose to give it to Drake... along with some antidepressants. Funny thought. I think I would love to give 10 years of (the needed) mental sanity to Syd Barrett. At the chime of the city clock from page one is my favourite tune! Yeah and I once read a biography on Drake and it said there that Drake got antidepressant and they didn't do any good... finally he overdosed on them, if voluntary or by mistake is not known.

I like em both for VERY different reasons. yes. both are great. i have been thinking recently though that Dylan's original recordings of his own songs leave something to be desired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest disparaissant Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 i got super, super lucky and picked up the fruit tree box set (LP, 1986 hannibal release with extra disc and fucking sealed!) for a measly 60 bucks at a half price books 5 or 6 years ago. but yeah i think if someone doesn't like nick drake they just... i dunno, don't understand feelings.
