Do justice to Townes songs and Nick's... Good taste and talent. Well done and keep on keepin on- and if you have free time there are a few originals on my page posted...
Really passionate soulful rendition Joe! You are an amazing talented man, loved the feel from the film too, really nice pairing!! I also really enjoyed your musings, Nicks lyrics have so much wisdom, I gain a new perspective every time I listen to one of Nicks songs, hear something new every time...It all just adds to the entire Nick experience, a true blessing..I too have burgs out yonder, tho' I am from the far north in Alaska..Peace and Love to you always XXX Alaskan Allie
I thought his persepctives were interesting...I like when people post their interpretations of music...especially Nick Drake who I believe to be a genious...amazing profound music...which may in fact have a myriad of interpretations..which I believe was his very intent..."fruit tree" was one such song..the metaphors he used were pretty amazing for such a young person..

ha ive always thought fruit tree had quite poo lyrics.. "fame it but a fruit tree which cannot flourish till its roots are in the ground" lame, thats the exception though
@djboony You obviously misunderstood the lyrics. It said "Fame is but a fruit tree, so very unsound, it can never flourish, till its stalk is in the ground". That's to say, fame only flourishes once the person who is to be famed dies or some such.
well done mate...you really captured the feel...

Oh, Joe, you have done it again. Another amazing cover.
I'm not sure if you do requests, but it would be amazing if you did a cover of "Things behind the sun" by Nick Drake. but anyways, keep it up! :]
