The Books ft Jose Gonzalez - Cello Song - (2 of 31)

[MaddeHello]

The Blind Side sent me here! :)

[aggejocke]

THE BLIND SIDE!!!!!1



[000mud000]

This guys voice cant match Nicks. Not as good as the original but its not bad. I was expecting it to suck.

[3DDavid06]

Glad to say I learned of this from RadioParadisedotcom and not the drudge of a movie "Blandside" oops I mean well... that's close enough;-) Always dangerous to do re-makes escpecially with something as timeless and perfect as Nick Drake but this? This works...

[armfarm]

such a great cover

[Sameez2]

This song was originally written and composed by Nick Drake.

[TheShhSecret]

This sends chills up my spine.

[manutdforu]

Hi Elvishswimmer, thnak you for your comment, you are so right, he must have been a tortured soul, but what an artist! I've been listening to his music and cannot believe how truly wonderful he was. Thank god , he has left behind such a wonderful legacy and hope he's at peace now.

[qstraBOT]

[Elvishswimmer]

@manutdforu

You will enjoy him. Such an amazing artist, and such a tortured soul.

[manutdforu]

Original and wonderful! Makes my skin prickle..... in a good way.Who wrote this? It's just soooo brilliant and evocative

[supperelias]

[takomaskate]

[supperelias]

@hungrycamels Added in Description!

[hungrycamels]

ahhhhh good song......*falls asleep*

[TheSnstrk]

i really fall in love with this song!!!

[BreyDful]

Wow, this song is so cool! I watched The Blind Side last night and this song caught my attention right away. Couldn't have picked a better opening song!

[JACKY3HORN]

Wow great .....

mfg J3H

[MissPorschi]

This song is really really good. I heard this song at the Film "Blind Side" and I liked it very much. When I listen to this song I always think about my live and all what ever happened. :-D :-) Thats great....

[kiptie]

nice! i thought it was impossible to make a good Nick Drake cover (because of his haunting voice and guitar playing). well, i guess i was wrong :-p

[garibah]

yeah, it was the only song that stood out from the Movie. The album Dark was the Night is amazing (CD 1 at least) and Nick Drake and Jose Gonzales doing an indirect collaboration is astounding!

[zedovichi]

Ok, the only way that could be topped is a version by the Knife...

amazing!

[jfleminator]

not even comparable to the original

[Blayzovich]

@jfleminator what is the original?

[jfleminator]

@Blayzovich Nick Drake

[mcottier]

@Blayzovich Nick Drake - Cello Song

[llamavszombie]

I think Jose and Drake are pretty similar anyways, i dont think anyone else could of covered this song except Jose Gonzalez

[ThePonchogringo]

I played Drakes version on guitar at my little boys funeral last year,also played was jose gonzalez heartbeats..cant believe he has helped cover it..very very special happening for me.

[SuperFlowerChick]

When i herd this song in the theatures when i saw the blind side during the movie i grabed my cell phone and looked up Thblind side soundtrack....

[purtexdecks3000]

They definately did drake's beautiful song justice :)

[bluemorningtide]

I personally have no desire to see The Blind Side...but if this song is in it, I will!

God, I love this song

[rc356606]

i like both!

[IveGotThis]

Ummm...who disliked this...

[Blayzovich]

@IveGotThis burn the witch (;

[1evangelika]

So forget this cruel world

Where I belong

Ill just sit and wait

And sing my song

And if one day

you should see me in the crowd

Lend a hand and lift me

To your place in the cloud

[Chloilas]

Sorry, on the whole, I prefer the vocals in the original song by Nick Drake (not to say the vocals aren't good in this too, but they're less consistently powerful) I like it when they're singing together, it's stronger. :-) The music in this is an interesting twist which works really well.

[13hehe]

nick drake <3 RIP

[0114cpb]

the album cover is true!!!

[jeeeb0]

wow, you've gotta love the blind side, jeeesus! and this song in it is absolutely magnificent.

[trisky1234]

nice cover!

[dazzlingbydesigncdd]

This is a beautiful cover of the Nick Drake's "Cello Song". Really does the original justice!

[zayed00001]

this song catches all of yours....

the words so true...

[openeyes012]

they stuck very close to nick drakes original version, it would have been nice to see a little more creative liberty

[dezzeatinpezz7]

jose gonzalez and the books <3

perrfect.

[0114cpb]

luv this song in the blind side!!!!!!!!!!!

[dazzlingbydesigncdd]

I like this version of this song better than the original by Nick.

[lizbizzie]

I wouldn't necessarily say it's a good thing to have gotten this song from The Blindside. This song was created by two amazing artists. If you got it from the Blindside your music knowledge is very low.

[dreamanimal]

@lizbizzie Don't judge and be thankful. It's all just a matter of opinion.

[proveyouwrong02]

@lizbizzie and you're a pretentious prick

[Ctwirler12]

@lizbizzie Think of it as a positive thing. Because it was featured in The Blindside, millions of people now know of this beautiful song!

[Mindinvasion]

As your music knowledge also seems to be, its written by nick drake.

[fraisebook]

@lizbizzie you're a fud

[urovii]

@lizbizzie if you think this song was created by your "two amazing artists" then your music knowledge is very low.

[lizbizzie]

@urovii Excuse me, but I think that's a matter of personal opinion. Don't you think? I mean I think my music knowledge is quite exceptional. Thanks for the comment but I didn't take it seriously, you don't know me and I don't know you but I'm sure you're a prick.

[urovii]

@lizbizzie You misunderstand. I was pointing out that this is a cover of a Nick Drake song, not an original by The Books and Jose Gonzalez. I simply found it amusing that you did not know that and yet you insult other's musical knowledge, however I did not mean to be to spiteful.

[nielsprobkid]

@lizbizzie you made me laugh so hard. people like you makes the internet so wonderful. i'm getting all warm inside, just thinking about it. mmm.

[lizbizzie]

Great album. This album includes such amazing bands from Arcade Fire to Grizzly Bear. If you like indie rock music this is the way to go for sure.

[smf830]

I thought I was going to be the only person that liked this song enough to find it after watching The Blind Side. It's weird because this is definitely not my type of music, but I love this song.

[ncmoonlight]

Saw Blind Side- loved the move and this wonderful song. I had to look it up.

[FrederikIL]

The Blind Side... What an epic and fantastic movie

[volleymonie]

patiko

[SinisterEpic]

I used my droid to recognize this song. This a very soothing song.

[Patteller]

Got it from the blind side!!

[HockeyBG]

...great song

[vidss]

love nick drake, love the books & love jose gonzalez. it gives me chills as does the original, it does it justice. well done

[brookenmc]

when i saw the blindside, the first thing i noticed was how cool this song was, so i tried to memorise some of the lyrics so i could google it :P

[RichardDenton13]

This cover is really nicely done. Nick Drake was and is a star.

[ilu2wootwoot]

heard this in the intro for the blind side. umm, amazing. really stands out, because it's so good.

[greujk1]

This song is amazing, it is so pretty. does anyone know any other good songs by them?

[WildMind21]

classy penguin and tokyo are two of my other favorites.

[robloxfan459]

oh god, this song is awsome, im so glad it was in blind side/ great tune.

[etaggie09]

freaking love this song. i was so excited to hear a nick drake song when i saw the blind side.

[XxXdeathXpenguinXxX]

[williammoseleyfan101]

I saw this in the Blind Side...great movie, but the song at the very begining got my attention.

This Song is soo calm and relaxing! When I heard it in the movies, I was got really into it and I didn't want it to end

[robe22gut]

[sohaib1688]

@williammoseleyfan101 : i felt exactly the same as u did!

[ILUVALLANIMALS101]

@williammoseleyfan101

Me too... I looked up The Blind Side Soundtrack and I couldn't find it anywhere... so I went to iTunes and found what it was called and looked it up ! I love the song because I agree ^^ it is relaxing and its got a nice rhythm to it !

[williammoseleyfan101]

@ILUVALLANIMALS101 - I know right !?

[CocaColaChik18]

@williammoseleyfan101

I also agree ! I couldnt choose between crying and laughing in that movie... this song seems to fit right in ! The lyrics are right on also !

[williammoseleyfan101]

I just realized that I said "I was got.." wow.. My bad. I meant, I got really into it

[peachfishh]

@ Helenkryan - I totally agree!

[Anchored4]

This song is so inspirational!!! I totally agree with Helenkryan!!

[Helenkryan]

Saw The Blind Side two nights ago - the movie was good, but this song had me frozen in my seat the moment it started - totally amazing.

[gandharwazalwar]

[aglassford123]

[sksk1543]

This song is the definition of perfection. No matter what mood I'm in, I can listen to this and a sense of calmness spreads over me. Amazing how certain music can do that.

[listenheredc]

[captainbadd]
