  • @emculbertson

    Because the other 2 billion youtube users are lame and have no taste.

  • he played it yesterday night in Rome during his last date of the tour, but the version was quite different. Touching and sublime, anyway.

  • SUCH a beautiful song...loved the video too with all of the shore/sunset scenes...my nephew posted it on FB...awesome...I keep going back and watching and then I shared it...thank you!

  • Check out the response video, there's my cover of this song :)

  • had this on reply whole day!CLASSIC!

  • This dude is fucking amazing!

  • oh my - scary. this really is the reincarnation of nick..... beautiful

  • bom

  • Is he Nick Drake reincarnated? They sound so much alike. Both beautiful musicians.

  • It's really awesome ... Such a great song !!! Love it !!!

  • saw him live last night very unique i loved it.

  • @Music100Quality Wow...Lucky you! where was this? would love to catch a gig in Manchester but would travel to go see him. Only just discovered him so tiz all new with this guy.

  • How does this only have a 98.8% like percentage?!?! This is an outrage!!!

  • my brother showed me this song and I just love it.

  • Touched my soul. First in my life, I could feel my soul. Such a beautiful song. Thank you.

  • I wish I was Nick Drake by Alexi Murdoch.

  • I love u

  • Just love this song - a true voice in a much too manufactured world. Check out 'Martin Carter - Stay' too. I have heard this guys stuff and his first video is online now!

  • are those 7 strings? no wonder i couldnt play that one part -.-

  • @Wolta Nah mate, tiz a 6-stringer...you're gonna have to find a new excuse for not being able to play it now!;)

  • i LOVE this song!:)

  • Again I say...true voices, songwriters with integrity and talent deserve more hits than any pr driven dribble.

  • very nice indeed

  • i just melt away and reach a serene place with the breeze slowly blowing through my hair. great song

  • ..beautiful *****

  • I want to bottle this song, and ingest it atleast once a day.

  • what a lovely song..

  • john krasinski sent me here

  • i heard alexi for the first time last week watching house and thought it was nick drake singing. they are so amazing how much emotion they can fit in each of their songs. RIP nick and i hope alexi keeps making this music

  • Toubled souls produce the best music/art and ultimately life for themselves and everyone around them!

  • certain videos shouldnt even have dislike buttons

  • another underrated awesome artist that dosent fit into the nowadays crappy pop culture. D:

  • THE O.C! <3

  • Incredible resemblance with the great Nick Drake..It seems Nick is still with us. Great..Thanks Luk for letting me know this genius

  • Nick Drake's been one of my favorite songwriters/vocalists for several decades now.

    I heard this song on an old episode of WITHOUT A TRACE and got goosebumps...I knew it wasn't Nick--

    but I wondered who it was.

    I think Nick Drake would love this song.

    I thank you for your honesty and for putting it all on tthe line, as it were.

    Your guitar playing is reminiscent of Nick's...beautiful.

    I wish you a LONG prosperous life!

    :)

    Be Happy.

    Bhakti

  • I literally want to reproduce with him over and over again..

  • @mychumsaretoocool I think he's into females.

  • I'm weeping

    

  • I AM MELTING.

  • this is a great song i would very much like to learn is. Is there a place whear i can get the music

  • @shitbisscut08 if you want guitar go to ultimate-guitar

  • this is a great song i would very much like to learn is. Is there a place whear i can get the music

  • wonderful sound

  • i think its safe to say alexi mirrors nick drake in many ways. however, had nick lived and percerviered through his troubled life, i really think he would have been one of the most succesful musicians in history given the rate at which he produced pure genius. i am part of the nick drake cult....and the alexi murdoch cult. i love them both. they are different, but share some similarities.

  • I really love this guy and his songs.

  • Good god this shit jus made my hair stand on end and my back feel numb!!!!!!!!

  • This guys stuff is way too much like Nick Drake, who was original, but opinions vary

  • @socrates1818 yes they do; this is so much better than Nick Drake could ever have been

  • @HOVMM Nick Drake would have gone so much farther, I wouldn't have been suprised if he surpased Bob dylan, and I don't think reaching that state is possible anymore.

  • @SupremoHumberto I hope you're not referring to Bob's vocal qualities...

  • @HOVMM I hope you are not trying to say Bob Dylan isn't one of the greatest artist ever just like Hendrix but in a different way...

  • @babou0123 no Bob isn't, even my neighbour's dog barks and sings better

  • @HOVMM Hahaha, good stuff, man.

  • @HOVMM SMH...wow.

  • @HOVMM ... then try to sing one of his song better than him ... and if you can't sing ... call the best singer that you know , to sing one of bob dylan's tune ... it would not sound good ... believe me

  • @gonefishingtv just a quick browse thru you tube, took me less than a minute: search there for: Forever Young Audra Mae ( Bob Dylan cover )

  • @socrates1818 dont think he surpasses nick drake by any stretch...lyrically this guy is close but loses points surpassing drake on the cliche-0-meter. He gains points for having more potential seeing as he is alive... and loses originality points for creating work that simply mimics voice instrumentals and tempo of another artist... He surpasses drake if he develops his own sound and it's still good imo

  • If you like Alexi, then maybe you will like my music

  • Sure brings Nick Drake to mind at a first listen.

  • My billionth time listening to this wonderful work of art.

  • What a song is to you, will never be what a song is to someone else. And the great songwriters are kind enough to invite you into their art. Be grateful for the gift of song and for the gifted for sharing.

  • Wowwww! :) <3

  • what a voice!!!!!!! mmmm!!!!!

  • Beautiful, beautiful man. This song makes me sigh everytime, im completly in love with everything about it... As the days keep turning into night, all of my days.

  • Man, he's got an amazing live voice.

  • Play this music when I die

  • the song is exactly about me...and always makes me cry...absolutely beautiful....

  • Nick drake was way ahead of his time though

  • @seth2186 Alexi even more

  • @HOVMM I like Alexi but I don't know if I can go that far. What makes you say that?

  • @davidus3 coz' i can go that far

  • @seth2186 Just cause you're first doesn't mean you're the best... usually quite the opposite. Nick's great... but so is Alexi.

  • @seth2186 He certainly was.

  • @seth2186 Complete legend

  • amaaassingg <3 <3

  • Love it! This the song that got me hooked on Alexi. Heard it on an episode of Stargate Universe of all things. Then after getting to know him, the rest of his music, I recognized another of his songs on an earlier show of Stargate Universe, (Breathe), as well as House (Through the Dark).

    He playing in NYC on Feb 17th! Buy tix from Lincoln Center for better prices. :) Cya there!!

  • Aptly titled.

  • I love this man's voice and music, and I love his lyrics! Why have I only found you now?!?!? :)

  • Why oh WHY do people try to compare musicians? Each musician has their own style and feeling. The comments on here remind me of people when I was young comparing Jimi Hendrix and other guitar players like Jeff Beck, Pete Townsend and Jimmy Page. All of which had thier own style. Just enjoy the music

  • @Daniel1989a How funny.. You did exactly what you critiqued the other for, you compared your experience in the 70's to today. You are a man in his 50's giving advice to those who life is new...be gentle. From an old hippie too:)

  • i was having a really bad night and then i stumbled upon this....

  • There are some music artists I'd just love to meet. Alexi Murdoch is definitely one of them. I've been listening to this for 2 straight days now. :) It's just so beautiful!

  • alexi and nick drake are both talented musicians and it should be left at that, i love them both!

  • Great song!

  • heard this song on Stargate Universe...  spent 3 days trying to find out who sang it... love this song..... awesome message in it....

  • everytime I hear his music it makes me feel happy, peaceful and optimistic because I love life and life loves me, I love god and god loves me, we love life and life loves us, we love god and god loves us. Thank you Alexi

  • Alexi as the son of Nick Drake....not as original or clever, however.

  • @stonethemason you're right, Alexi would be more clever and original

  • @HOVMM I like Alexi, but Nick Drake was far more talented.

  • @JeremiahClayton which is Your opinion; the majority of opinions would find Alexi to be the most talented

  • @HOVMM Perhaps the majority of opinions of those under the age of 25 or those who have never picked up a guitar would opt for Alexi, but the rest of us know better.

  • @JeremiahClayton Nick Drake himself was only 26 when he died

  • @HOVMM Yes. He also died over 25 years ago. I like Alexi. Nick Drake however was on another level in regards to musicianship. The fact you called Alexi more original than Nick Drake is indefensible in my opinion.

  • @JeremiahClayton the conclusion you make in opinions seem to be the one from a nearly 25 year old who neeeds to learn so much more about music, which proves my right in opinion after all

  • @HOVMM You argue a majority of people would think Alexi is more talented and original than Nick Drake. Obviously "talent" is a subjective term. However, on the originality front, given the fact one of these guys was recording music when the other was in utero/in diapers, I'd think Alexi has no claim. When the guy was alive, Drake was anything but popular enough to warrant emulation. Since his death, his status has grown and inspired many musicians. Alexi Murdoch is one such musician.

  • @JeremiahClayton Alexi doesn't claim anything; his status is growing as we speak despite the fact he doesn't have to be dead to grow his status and inspire others.

  • @HOVMM I never said Alexi himself claimed anything mate. No need to be so defensive. Enjoy the music.

  • @HOVMM and @JeremiahClayton Just enjoy the music you guys :)

  • @ALLTHATSDOPE we dó, can't you see?

  • @JeremiahClayton which is Your opinion, only the majority of opinions would think otherwise

  • @stonethemason I like to judge music more by how it moves me not by whether a finger-picking line or harmony or anything else resembles something else I've heard. I could care less if it's clever as long as it moves me. Does his music move you is what I'm really trying to ask; so, does it? Thanks for your thoughts.

  • @routleyd3930 i completely agree some of the best things are the simple ones.

  • Hmmmm...son of Nick Drake. Not as clever or original, however.

  • his music doesnt make me happy or sad it just makes me think and chill and i just feel like everything is alright for that moment ya know?

  • @drumerman507 totalmente cierto, mucha paz y serenidad. Saludos desde Venezuela

  • Alexi, you are a master at making a cold heart go up in flames.

  • My first dance with my bride will be to this song.....I promise.

  • @Freeourmind You are so romantic... lucky bride.

    

  • Alexi is so amazing. His music with this album makes me relax into the evening. Beautiful.

  • I have been in love with this song for so long. It is one of the few that sounds just as stunning the hundredth time.

  • This song = my life.

  • Good grief he is fantastic.

  • this is a kind of music that I was after recently, thx:)

  • He always reminds me of Nick Drake

  • the first time i heard this song i thought it was Nick Drake

  • I first heard this song in the movie Away We Go. It was a good movie and this is a good song.

  • omg !!! The song of movie trailer " Away We Go " O.o

    Awesome... wonderfull... :))

    Thank's for the post !!

  • @TheFatguyinaspeedo Not all of Nick's songs are depressing, what about "Northern Sky"?

  • wonderful song !

  • I have not seen an artist so beautiful, so sincere, so pure. i canno imagine a life without the solace of his soothing voice, his thoughtful lyrics and the magic of his guitar.

  • Thank you Away We Go!

  • Just posted a remix of this song to my page. Please check it out and let me know what you thin!. I appreciate it.

    I hope I did the song justice. I really do love this song and Alexi is a great artist. Thanks

  • Astounding. And this is a live recording.

  • More artist should publish this type of music.

  • Love him

  • pure heart

  • ALEXI ROCKS :)

  • this is off stargate universe

    very nice song

  • just awesome

  • What effects is the other guitarist using?

  • @MrWaddlesgee3 a very nice effect

  • @HOVMM cleaver one eh?

  • @ArlequinFantasma13 yes very...

  • @MrWaddlesgee3 the effect that use is Guitar pad

  • @MrWaddlesgee3 Someone may have already told you but to me it sounds like a Volume Swell effect, It some what makes the guitar sound like a violin.

  • @MrWaddlesgee3 volume pedal to delay, and maybe a little bit of modulation. (flang or chorus)

  • @joelslijkerman Thanks so much dude! You helped me out so much!

  • @MrWaddlesgee3 sounds like a fast paced chorus at around 3.40

  • So relaxing and peaceful. His music reminds me of Nick Drake. But Nick Drake's music is good for healing and Alexi Murdoch's music is good for being inspired

  • nick drake is awesome,i had never heard Alexi until the most recent Stargate Universe episode. Great song. SGU ALL THE WAY!

  • this was on the last SGU i think the producers like alexi this is the second episode his songs have been played on

  • @iamcondescending what was the other song that was used?

  • @AndrewCproductions dont forget to breeth

  • Ooh. Just heard this song on Stargate Universe, and I'm seriously enjoying it. Seems like a fun exercise in figuring the guitar part out too.

  • Just used in Stargate Atlantis episode "Hope".

  • @daveporphans there is not such episode...

  • @klacek39 you sir are misinformed.

  • @klacek39 oh bullocks i see what your saying. my bad bra,i saw stargate so i assumed he was talking about sgu not sgatlantis.sorry chap.

  • I love Nick Drake but the difference between Nick and Alexi is Nick's music makes me feel like ending my life, Alexi's music makes me feel like kicking back with a cold beer and chilling in my back yard. (no offense Nick)

  • @TheFatguyinaspeedo your response would even let Drake smile is his nick of time

  • @HOVMM What

    does this mean?

  • @TheFatguyinaspeedo Nick had plenty of songs that weren't sad or even remotely about suicide. Expand you Nick collection.

  • @TheFatguyinaspeedo you ´re right on that fact, I agree.

  • @TheFatguyinaspeedo

    EXACTLY....<3

  • @TheFatguyinaspeedo i actually disagree. Nick Drake's music makes me feel oddly uplifted.

  • @TheFatguyinaspeedo

    feel like ending your life?? really?? they're both very relaxing.

  • @TheFatguyinaspeedo That's an offense against Alexi really ...:)

  • @TheFatguyinaspeedo I can see where you're coming from. Probably not the nicest thing to say though, considering Nick Drake did kill himself.

  • Excellent music....Well Done...

  • Great musician!

  • "Even breathing feels alright..." Yes it does. Spectacular.
