  • hermosa canción, gran video :)

  • Marmosets shouldn't be kept as pets.

  • Comment removed

  • which will you go for...suicide or life?

  • awesome song, weird video.

  • This song is so painful.. in the lyrics it's like he knows he is about to be passed over for another guy but can't even bear to be specific about that fact.. he just says 'which?' - i'm sure you could go overboard with analysis and say it's not a choice between him and another person, but why complicate matters?

  • What a cute monkey... awesome.

  • he could have cut a tree down added some fence wire and made it sound good....genius

  • Fuck you monkey !! I damn you to hell !!!

  • @Geo69xr You tell 'em bro

  • where even would you get a monkey

  • this is my favorite Nick Drake song, because it is sweet wishes for someone perhaps younger, with their whole life, and maybe someone not afflicted with what had burdened him ... but it was also someone he was in love with, maybe, and they seem to have left him alone.

  • This genius of a human beeing. Totally unique sound and lyrics

  • the monkey looks like devil

  • search nicolas and the iceni summers end. they write beautiful english folk music which has echoes of denny and drake.

  • used to love this guy, cant listen to him anymore, first time heard him i was 12, became obsessed, then grew out of him

  • Good monkey.

  • This is music you can listen to over and over and over and over again to - and you feel lucky every time.

  • What on earth is that creature in this video.Let me know

  • What the hell is that crawling on the guitar? A Lemur, a monkey or what?

  • The lyrics is fantastic on this

  • "everything's better with monkeys" trope definitely in play =P W00t!

  • is that a happy monkey ? i'm not sure

  • I thank you for this video. Great Job!

  • the only thing that annoys me about nick drake songs are that whenever i watch them on youtube there are always so many really gay comments trying to interpret his emotions.. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT.

  • jajajjaja lindo monito muy artistico!

  • this song was written by BT for their adverts. this drake guy does an ok cover though.

  • Comment removed

  • @TubaGirl01 Think he's on the wind up mate.

  • @gordonw01 What do you mean by that? (Forgive me, i've never heard that expression before).

  • @TubaGirl01 British people say it when someone is trying to jokingly deceive them "Do you think i'm wound up at the back ?" "Are you trying to wind me up ?"

  • @gordonw01 Ah, ok.

  • danamies you are right, i have two days knowing Mr Drake and is amazing.

  • 4 people disliked this song because they killed themselves when they heard it.

  • @BigNoseBlues hey he did it...so that means they actually liked it alot and did it as a tribute to him.

  • @BigNoseBlues as it says at the top - you vote for the vid - the song is perfect - people are disliking the actualy vid maybe - monkey as a pet not great angle etc which I agree with in most circs

  • I love monkeys. I like this post too (-;

  • Oh guitar monkey... How I adore you.

  • that monkey looks scared

  • hey what kind of monkey is that?

  • @kaleidoscopgrrl - I believe this is a mico estrela. It is native from Brazil

  • 4 saps with a musical taste bypass have disliked this - unbelievable! Probably coming down from lager abuse.

  • peace+love .,.,.,.,.,

  • hands down, this is my favorite youtube thingy.

  • i love nick drake. i do not love how all of his songs are in really weird tunings making them extremely inconvenient to play.

  • I wish I had a guitar monkey!

  • A song of unrequited love -a cliche- turned masterpiece. My favorite Nick Drake song.

  • nice dude. i really fucking dig this video

  • LOVE this song, Love the vid. Really, really brilliant. The monkey hanging out on the guitar is just ultra cool stuff.

    Must have monkey in a MM vid one of these days, Matheus!

  • wow that riff has some complex rhythmic shit goin on that shit is all syncopated ,

  • I love this video. cheers, joao

  • what is with this clip?? truly beautiful, tender masterpiece of a song, but what did you think this video would acheive?

  • @solidheir dude likes his monkey, even though it hell of busted all his strings. Some people interpret songs differently.....

  • wow what a haunting song, i first heard it when i played guitar on a cruise ship for my first time, and it brings back my emotions from that ship , wow

  • and now i want a little monkey.

  • read "darker then the deepest sea" for great insight into nick drakes life,he was a tortured soul that made such amazing music.

  • Are you saying that Nick Drake had a monkey on his guitar?

  • @clownmonkey

    Maybe that's how he played, the monkey did the frets and he worked the strings.

  • thats the cutest lil monkey ive ever seen:D

  • that is a very cute little monkey, I actually did a report on those in like second grade, I don't even remember what they're called :)

  • Nick was so discouraged about his music not being accepted by the masses. He knew in his heart how good it actually was. He would be delighted at how universally loved it is now. .......Too bad for us he died so young.

  • @guitarmainly Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

  • @RemyXander So not true. 

  • @guitarmainly How do we know that? A true artist is not doing it for the masses...

  • @KillinDaWelfareMCs

    This is a well known fact told to his producer, family and friends.

  • youtube seems so wrong for nick drake

    i mean, thanks loads for the post

    but im sure he'd hate the world we live in now-it's even worse than it was then.

  • @ohbiggles I get what you are saying, like maybe youtube cheapens it somehow....but if it weren't for youtube and my amazing daughter who investigated WHO that musician was in the AT&T commercial, I would still be ignorant of Nick Drake...and quite frankly, I am richer in my own soul for having expirienced this haunting and beautiful music. PEACE to us ALL!

  • nick drake nick drake his voice was pure hedidn need his body with his voice he can penetrate from the inner ear of the body .... i would love to see him smile for this unique and tender video of yours

  • My absolute favourite.

  • This makes me wanna cry! I love Nick Drake

  • that backwards reverse spin uf the neck at 2:35 is awesome. Spider Monkeys!!!

  • Monkey or guitar monkey or guitar? which will you go for? Nice vid.

  • :O You have a monkey that sits on n acoustic guitar while you listen to Nick Drake? I think I love you. Haha :)

  • Nick Drake's talent is truely brilliant and unique.....HE HAS inspired me to start writing my own music! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR PASSION WITH THE WORLD NICK DRAKE! When I have my own kids, i'll make sure they KNOW who you are....It's a shame you left this us so soon..... R.I.P.

  • @Daver869 i just started listening and he is brilliant, how did he die?

  • @thehockeybomb apparent suicide.....Nick was a very depressed man throughout his life, and it is noticable in his music..... :(

  • @Daver869 prescription drug overdose...

  • That little guy rules! This song is great but makes me sad but, the monkey makes me smile!

  • Such a lovely video. This is one of my favorite Nick Drake songs. Well this one and ALL the rest. :-) Beautiful job, well done.

  • The girl I adore told me to look this song up while I was at work. It damn near made me cry, seeing how spot on it was. Damn you Nick Drake for reading my mind! I can't listen to him all the time, but it certain moods it's devastating.

  • At first listenings to Nick's cds a friend gave me I thought, eh, too self-absorbed.... Then one night it (he) hit me....Now I'm addicted. This is another of his very fine songs which I love...Thanks for the post...

  • RIP Nick,

    Thanks for the fascinating music!

  • aw a little monkey :)

  • @dsignrdane HA, lol they fling poo you know D:

  • I have never heard a Nick Drake song I didn't like.

  • If you don't like Nick Drake then there is something fundamentally wrong with you. Emotionally. Inside. That's not opinion. That's just fact.

  • for the lulz eh? I think he's right

  • it was pompous indeed, but it's quite true.. im glad i didnt have to say it myself and become pompous...

  • you are...

  • damn right

  • AGREED.

  • Amen bro

  • @danamies

    as a musician, as a human being, I totally agree with you.

    From Italy, from the world

  • @pippofilippo1

    Beautiful song. Suicide is a bitch

  • @yosoynumerouno1

    Again, I agree with you too..

  • @danamies So true

  • @danamies

    i wish there where people back then that were telling him stuff like that, things could me much better for him...

  • @danamies spoken like a truly open minded person

  • Had to minimize the video - very distracting from the song imo.

    Cute mini-chupacabra tho.

  • He is my brother! NICK DRAKE, forever.

  • I love the little monkey; priceless!

  • a marmoset is like a squirrel-monkey.

  • Its fantastic. Thank you!

  • The monkey is utterly creepy. But the song is a strong contender for my all time favorite.

  • Hey hey we're the Monkey!

  • which will you choose now, if you wont choose mine... goddamn, thirty years on and it's still so damned beautiful. rest easy, man.

  • Not much happens... but that possum/monkey thing is cute as! Love the song

  • That little monkey (or whatever it is =P) is awesome, and it's a great song as well!
