been smoking too long

[MidnightPicnicTv]

The moral of the story is, weed or hash or whatever your using to get your kicks will eventualy get the better of you . i know this from my own personal situation . smoking is not bad if you do it socialy but when you start depending on it thats when it becomes a problem . Nick drake had his own personal battle with it and this was his way of telling everyone smoking isnt all its cracked up to be theres negatives aswell as positives

[nestemata]

thumbs up if you too have been smoking for too long ...

[TheExtrem31]

i feel very familiar with this song, every time i listen to it i feel a warmness in my chest that makes me tremble for a sec

[Omiss20]

Im 20 and fell the same..

[Loverdizzle]

ahhhhh, it's almost too much. I first listened to this song at 13 y/o...

Now i'm 25 living in a hard part of town and I can't live without Nick Drakes sentiment.

[gugl21000]

2 people haven't been smoking long enough..

[Pibbs1]

R.I.P. Nick : (

[SuzySuziko]

Thanks for this! Yes it took some searching to find it on youtube. I never heard him sound like this before. Maybe this is his more natural voice. :)

[noobie64]

The last lyric is

"everything going wrong with me must be I been smokin too long"

[nochenontubo]

Finally, the right version.

This song made search for the "repeat 1" function on YouTube.

[Katharsis540]

[paulgad]

[TheZephyrLynx]

[gammaGTgammajereste]

[Stirrethcharybdis]

yay, a negative portrayal of the effects of marijuana/opium

dont go around smoking less you wanna get burned

referencing burnouts?

[gammaGTgammajereste]

magique !!!

[djvysy]

best qual on the nternerd

[minkaworks]

was this his song or a cover?

[RossM3838]

@minkaworks This was written by Robin Fredrick, a prolific song writer and music producer. Nick and Robin were friendly and Nick has deftly changed some her original lyrics to reflect his own personality.

[MadProgresser]

not meaning to bitch but at the end the lyrics are "everything going wrong with me" for the second to last linbe and im pretty sure he says " i have opium ion my chillum" not chimnet bhut big thanks for the vid LOVE this song, and keep em posted :D

[majapa]

@MadProgresser Hahaha, you're just projecting. He definitely says chimney. Chimney = colloquial phrase for "head" - so he's got opium in his head.

[MadProgresser]

@majapa thanks for the info but saying'hahaha' just makes you look like a cock-muncher, all u had to say to was that wrong mate. but no as with all people on here you seem to have to take the small bit of knowledge that you have and try to express it in a way that makes you sound clever but thanks for letting me know even if you didnt do it very nicely

[Svensjair]

@MadProgresser man , its chimney. he says chimney. stop attacking people for correcting you. just deal with it.

[SitarSavior]

Placebo's Version: Yuck. But Nick Drake is amazing.

[ItaWeed]

AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH

[randikajamai]

turn out the lights, light up a stick, turn on this song and ride it

[bradars14]

you complete the song with that short paragraph

[153403hampton]

awesome song thank he died so early hardly anyone has heard his music

[MetallicAddict15]

Perhaps that's the way it should be, it helps to preserve the intimacy of his legacy. Only those who go looking for it, find it and their experience with and love for the music is much more heartfelt and intense than it would be if Nick Drake were on the radio 24/7. This isn't music for the masses anyway.

[nicholaspilot]

i so agree with you, buddy

[Stirrethcharybdis]

@MetallicAddict15

well said brother, well said

[stakesource]

@MetallicAddict15

This song just made my heart sink into my stomach.

I feel him....

And I agree with you.

[jessedkellett]

If there was ever a perfect song, it is this and you have captured it beautifully. Thank you.

[davidoffon]

I think this was the first song of his I didn't hear first time.

[sneudel]

Verry nice! i heard this song first from hederos and hellberg
