This is the measure of a great cover: To not only give the original the dignity it deserves, but to also provide an alternate dimension to the original. This is wonderfully mercurial, fluid, spectral. Nick would be proud.
when i'm in the mood to hear hazey jane 1, this video is useful because i've listened to the demo and studio version many times. also, i wasn't implying that evankrg was out of tune, only reminding anyone tabbing/reading/earing/transcribing this that when you tune that low you must retune after capo.
Gav, you should come out to Arizona and we'll renew Roma Condor to its full capacity. This is my fav cover on your page by the way...I remember the good old days when we first discover Nick Drake.
Watched this back when you posted it, and it was my favorite. sometimes I prefer it to the regular version. You've just gotta tune it after the capo! ;]
holy sweet god ......... your guitar playing is out of control .... are you channeling our brother, nick drake?! haha love it, homes
i miss this man like no other ....... my favorite is probably place to be .... and oddly enough this song haha
come check out my vids and comment if ya like them ... my profile says i live in manhattan but i actually live near harrisburg pa haha maybe we'll play a show someday
if you put the water effect on so we can pretend its actually nick...it almost works, i love it!!
great to hear how nick would have wanted it, but im still glad the record company latched on to the second album and made it what it is, with the exception of poor boy, their additions make for some great results. maybe if nick had stuck around we would have the recordings how he intended by now.
Wow that's so cool how did you get it to look like a watercolour painting? Very fine work! This one really suits your voice! Gentle is always best for a ND cover!!!~Amy
I like you very much. The first time I heard you singing "Do you curse where you come from?" I thought "Oh God, that's Nick himself.". ("oh God, my chance has come at last"...) Thank you so much. Silvia
Grade A, kid. You have monstrous talent. I can't play or sing this well, and I've been at it for more than 20 yrs. You make it seem so effortless. I'm the farthest thing from religious, but you are absolutely blessed. Keep the tunes coming. I'll be listening. There's obviously only one Nick Drake, but it's fantastic to see kids appreciating and playing his music. It's some of the best to ever grace the spiral grooves of a record.
There's no reason why you should not make a date and head for the NICK DRAKE folk fesival end of july next year in England T.I.A ... Keep up the guitar and voice
I'd love to. I visited England a few years ago and fell in love with the country. What better way to visit again than pay tribute to the tall troubadour?
Do u compose your own stuff too? You have good influences. Keep singing and playing - it's v mellow in a world of competitive harshness.Stay young and never become a commuting go getter.Peace
Yeah, jrowe2k, the awful sound of the 1970s flute completely dates some of the songs, as well as the treacly violin. The voice and the guitar, that's all that's needed. This version by evanrkg is darn nice.
the filming is just stunning and fit perfectly with the music , i love the dot and blinding: it feels like being in a dream or in front of a moving painting
nothing to say about the music , ten people did it for me
love your work dude, I am just starting to learn some nick drake songs, the guy was was a gift to us all and is no doubt up in heaven with buckley making sweeet music.. great job man!!
Man, it does my heart good to hear Nick Drake's music kept alive and done justice. I hope you're bringing this to the pubs. If I owned a bar I would hire you. And if I was drunk I'd throw 5 bucks in your tip jar at the end of this number.
Good job but I think you're doing it one step higher than the original. I think it would sound better a little lower. Just curious, did you get that tab from a book or the internet? If so, where?? Great guitar work. I've never met anyone who knows how to play Nick Drake.
Do you hope to find new ways of doing better than your worst?
by FAR one of my most faveorite songs. thank you, thank you, THANK YOU you playing/posting it! very artsy with the flickering light and effects, too. nice job and beautiful playing as usual. :)
