Nick Drake - Must Of Been Smoking Too Long

[FolkaMealaMole]

Hash and opium

[alexjamess]

the beautiful rendition to weed by nick drake

[TheGODOFDEBAUCHERY]

why did u spped it up --doesn't even sound like nick drake

[Kodiac5283]

Openly display your hatred of sopa or this may disappear for ever

[imthefly]

The beginning reminds me of Anji by Davy Graham.

[fredepadde]

@imthefly I was just about to write that :D

[lynus111]

Bert Jansch is a better guitar player....just saying

[melitosse]

@lynus111 Maybe, but it's all about the feeling. I bet he's not able to write such gems as River Man or The Things Behind The Sun. Drake is an Artist.

[lynus111]

@melitosse Bert has written enough Gems of his own, and in some songs I think Nick has stolen his style.

[murrmac]

Nic Drake isn't responsible for the grammatical error in the video title, at no point in the song does he sing "must OF been smoking too long".

However, we are all free to make up our own spelling and grammar these days, right ?.

[StringRamblerBale]

@murrmac must bee Iv smoking too long he sings ... as I hear it ;)

[l2enegadesofFunk]

@StringRamblerBale "Must be I've been smoking too long", actually. =/

[Tornfreedom]

@wisesatyr: No, this is the English Nick Drake. No-one else comes Near.

Musicians are all Different. That's what makes it Interesting.

[wisesatyr72]

this is the English Robert Johnson Ive heard..

[macfunkey]

@Raurex Ryan Spendlove maybe - see his (very different) cover and the more drake-like title track to his first album 'Fable'

[UrbanLegendBand]

@nursekarenwalker and since the grammer nazi had it wrong, the use of multiple exclaimation and question marks is seen as extremely sloppy :) stfu and listen to the song :) im sure mr drake wouldnt have given a fuck how it was spelt, as long as people connected with his music (Y)

[nursekarenwalker]

WHY IS IT PEOPLE CAN'T SPEAK CORRECTLY??? IT IS INCORRECT TO SAY "MUST OF" THE CORRECT WORDS ARE "MUST HAVE!!" SO ANNOYING!!!!!

[orpheusinundergrowth]

@nursekarenwalker must off had some negative experiences with the weaver of words?



[romka4567]

It sucks he died cus of Medicine which is suppose to help you :/. Wish he was still alive today i just found out about him middle of 2010 through a friend. Amazing music and it sucks music died now its all remixes. >_<

[TheAmer117]

Not his best song. He is a great musician, but this is not one of his best :(

[ginnyxwotsit]

@TheAmer117 That's because it isn't Nick's song. It was written by Robin Frederick. However I have to disagree with you, I think it's amazing. The non-sped up version is even better, his voice sounds so deep and jazzy. Gorgeous.

[UREoneIRS]

spoken like a true boggie smoker

[Misscoxackie]

he's saying "MUST BE I'VE BEEN SMOKING TOO LONG"

...hope that settles it...:)

[jacobbielarski]

I don't quite understand why the title hasn't been changed yet. It's been pretty well established that there is a grammatical error... right?

[StringRamblerBale]

description refreshed

[atwatwaw]

@jacobbielarski

since when does good music follow good grammar?

i cite bob dylan, thom yorke, woody guthrie, jeff mangum...

personally, i correct grammar daily, but it just doesn't matter in music, man.

you can't let it peeve you; you'll be thinking a lot of geniuses are dumbasses.

[mink61]

@jacobbielarski Pedant.

[minorthreat3]

check out dax riggs cover of this song

[bobbyhasbun]

@StringRamblerBale "must of" makes NO sense. you meant must've, which is an abbreviation for must HAVE.

[sysphus13]

@finowa It's a typo on the discogs website..the title is: Been Smoking too Long. And if you want to add a couple words, you might as well correct the typo and make it Must Have or Must've. We aren't being wise guys..that website has a typo, that's all.

[420man696969]

Awesome song bro:)

[lovemylittlelie]

it still sounds good if its sped up. just have an open mind about it and not be all pissy.

anyways nice job dude.

[StringRamblerBale]

@lovemylittlelie thx m8 ...

[watlen2]

@lovemylittlelie This faster version is 'Must have been smoking too long' from 'the complete home recordings' whereas the slower version, that i am also more familiar with is 'Been smoking too long' from 'time of no reply'

[jokeyboy]

Why are you arguing about the title!?!? Sad little wanks!

Enjoy the song and shut up.

[StringRamblerBale]

@jokeyboy totally agree

[callunaling]

@jokeyboy your comment makes me laugh out loud even if it is offensive - well funny - however I do have empathy and agreement with people who bemoan the denigration of the English language all the same

[leslieoscar]

Josh bourke 89 has probably the best reason for why this doesn't sound like Nick Drake:

The recording is "sped up".

[TheLilkatie]

yeah mate,i been smokin too long huh.

[tilantote]

This is Fabulous when Youre High!

[StringRamblerBale]

if ur havin issues with title of the song check out description link ;)

[minohawc]

is it just me or do you have this playing at 45rpms?

[Noumenon4Idolatry]

thnks

[leslieoscar]

I honestly don't think that this is Nick Drake singing. Someone's mistaken some other singer for Nick.

[mato7742]

@leslieoscar Why would you say that? It's sounds just like him..

[0J1MY]

@leslieoscar

It is nick i have the original recording on a cassette it sounds the same its just that he recorded it on a reel to reel recorder so its just a bit fuzzy

[icec0rpse]

Fuck, yes!

Devils in my shoes...

[thomasbrennan3]

"opium in my chimney," "hash dreams"

listen to the lyrics

[villafane12]

smoking what?????

[Raurex]

There is no musician alive today who can match Nick Drake's brilliance.

[jsgehrke]

@Raurex I got one thing to say to you: James Taylor.

[theclockmace]

@Raurex you'd be surprised

[Slaave]

@Raurex Dax Riggs.

[plaspp]

Amazing.

[Stirrethcharybdis]

I can relate to this one, it reminds me of the old blues recordings you here from much longer ago than this

[mark1800]

title correction - Must HAVE Been Smoking Too Long

"Of" makes no sense

[sanclementekid]

Sweet dreams are made of these,

Who am I to disagree....

"We're all beggars and pirates, Robert Plant

[mikrenz]

well... the song is either listed as 'been smoking too long' or 'must have been smoking too long' of means sth. else. and 'da' means nothing, unless you're a rapper. :) cheers

[mikrenz]

fix the title, mate!

[spazzjunk]

also the english is bad. *must HAVE

[fedilla]

uh yes i agree, this is not a normal version of the song

[jessedkellett]

Something is not right. It should be longer. It is Drake, but not the same version I am familiar with. I am trying to get the original home version, that is SLOWER than this. Any one with any help or advise on how to get the original slower version, let me know.

[LordSanta78]

hmm... this is to fast; crappy recording you've got there (I'm listening to the original home-recording right now; much slower pace)

why'd you change it?

[StringRamblerBale]

u sure? this ones from home records of nick

[mato7742]

@StringRamblerBale It's actually "Been Smoking Too Long"

[cezarlamaro]

This is another version, and its great. No one changed anything. All originals are fake. Poor specialist...

[jimmyfrancicone]

GOD

[matrags]

This doesn't sound like Drake.

[sydbarrett2009]

nick drake is my new favorite!!!!

great music..love it

[jrbaylor]

yeah, its the same song, man. just played at a lil faster speed.

[joshbourke89]

fecking thing is sped up!
