You cover the song very beautifully, in your own way- I like it more than many other versions I've heard. As someone commented previously, you mostly sing what would be harmony to the melody in the key in which you play it. In other words, you're singing the melody in a different key than you're playing it, and I too am curious whether you do it on purpose or by happy accident. Cheers.
this is one of the coolest covers I've ever seen, you oddly sing a completely different melody but it fits so nicely, and the weirdest part is that if joni mitchell had written this song I can guarantee she would have sung exactly what you sing. So strange...was that on purpose? Do you realize what a beautiful mistake you've made?
Absolutely stunning-beautiful,raw talent ....i havn't played guitar for long but this song was the reason i started-infact Nick drake was the reason! (oneday ill post my own version) good stuff lisa! x
This is the tuning most people use when covering this song - in fact its the only tunning. But, what might be sounding different is the fact I'm using a capo on the 3rd fret (due to female vocal range) Nick did not.
Wow! You do Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake covers. I'm really touched by the way you channel their spirit in song. Well, keep doing what you do. You're beautiful, really really beautiful :-)
I really like the variations, and have always believed in the idea that songs should never be played the same way twice. You are not Nick Drake, so you don't have to sing like him. : ) I think you did a lovely job.
most excellent, your vocal seems to be hitting notes that you would hit if it were a duet in harmony, it sounds awesome and very original - the fingerpicking was great too, I know how tough this one is!! bravo
Beautiful cover, one that truly does Nick Drake justice

Your rendition sounds great, I like the fact that you didn't mimic Drake's vocals, you made it your own. And the alternate chords sound good as well.

That's interesting - that's a different melody from the original. It'a almost like a harmony part.

The same tunning as Nick Drake used, BEBEBe
Lisa4Guitar 4 years ago
That would explain why it sounded a little different in my ears. Drake actually used CGCFCF tuning for most of the the songs on Pink Moon

Bum notes? when I had a go at that it sounded like a harpsicord falling down an escalator (that was going up at the time).
Brilliant stuff.
