Nick Drake Lives! .. we all keep him alive when we let other people here his GREAT music, his spirit in another dimension appreciates what we think of him, so lets keep him breathing!
@prime106 ...Its the best thing that will ever happen to your ears and heart I bought his 3 albums in the 70's and they are worn out...so I bought them on CD."Bryter Layter" was his best which this song comes from..Joe Boyd an American producer who brought his music to the Island label vowed that this and his other 2 Albums "Five Leaves Left" his first Album and his final Album "Pink Moon" would never be deleted.There are other Albums but these are his best..........
Does anyone know the cover that Nick Drake did, that was called "I will give you my world."? The song was this title or was very similar. Thanks for any info
surprised by the upbeat, major tonality in this track. just made the transition from countless listens of pink moon, and this song is just so out of left field. definitely out of his normal style, but i like it.
poetry is a rebel call. For the way things were, natural order and law. spontaneous. and yeah the family no people. the second world war was fought against industrialism, for natural law. and so they learn about evolution and freud, and they the mind is in chains, it is subservient over its emotional response, save it up for the weekend and let your hair down. i see slaves, with no homes, they work for the system then act spontaneously on the storke of 8,. good evening, one must be careful

@GrungeHippie95 haha chill out buddy, i didnt insult gays, and i dont care if hes gay, or if yr gay...im not here to pick at someones sexuality..dont come at me like im against homosexuality
@tobysfig "In love with music"...sorry i just threw up in my mouth a little. Some people take Nick drake too seriously, he was a good songwriter, thats all
@trzcinarowice For those of you who've never heard of Peter Skellern, and you can count yourselves amongst the fortunate, he was an amaible chap from the north of England who could knock out a tune on the piano. He had a couple of completely undeserved chart hits in the early 1970's and as I recall, wrote and sang a TV theme. As for being a singer, he could not carry a tune in a very large bucket, and for anyone to compare Nick Drake's voice to his is the ultimate in insults.
but the point might be, if your not looking when your in the forest in the evening, you might get bitten by a weasel. maybe nick was saying take care and stay alert just in case it happens. then again if your not looking how do you know it was a weasel? and if it was a weasel could you actually blame him or her for having a little nibble?

Ignore the inaccuracies here. Nick Drake died in 1974 at the age of 26 from complications arising from an infected weasel bite inflicted upon him as he walked through the Forest of Arden one evening near his home in Tanworth whilst seeking inspiration for a problematic song lyric that he was composing. .
@koukides666...I'm sorry to say my friend...it's not true. Please excuse my Monty Python English sense of humour, I was just trying to lighten things up. I like to think Nick would have laughed or at least smiled.
@deadmonkey1987 He died in 1974 at 26. He died from an overdose of prescribed amitriptyline, possibly due to a combination of other pills and alcohol as well. His death is largely regarded as suicide, though there is speculation it may have been accidental.
@JoeDeceiver Nick wasn't a typical alcohol drinker. Try to find a website by an australian researcher, Michael Organ, he seems to have a careful analysis of what may have happened to cause Nick Drake's death. I don't think he was a "junk" but someone in painful mental illness.
This is a fantastic Nick Drake song; probably my favorite. I'm just getting into Bryter Layter and respect/appreciate Drake's work immensely. This song in particular is contemplative yet upbeat, which is tough to pull off.
I can't stop listening to it; it seems the more I do, the more I like the song.
just lovely. the perfect blend of nicks melancholic lyrics and voice coupled with wonderful upbeat backing.something very english about it like cricket on a summers day.
Weasels do not bite people in the forest in the evening....this is gratuitous slander and overtly weaselist. Neither do they go pop. Another slanted media fabrication. They are, however, very bad news to a rabbit....
@pykkervots I must confess . . . your post is easily one of the top three I've ever read on youtube . . . and I can not think of the other two offhand . . . excellent!
nice drake with musicals arrangements, this song is the best in this nick drake version... but i prefer only drake with guitar in the last album, ok, stop suicide, if youare depressed listen this song and this drake album better than the first an third.
Drake is magic, original playing acustic guitar, silence talk in songs, something like this impoisible, nevermore .
No its not a copy of Belle & Sebastian....Steve Maddock and him just have the same beautiful voice. But indeed it is very similar. I love both of them....and yeah it is terrible...why did he had to die so early!!!!!?????
Trouble now is the comment by "chenepan" that started this is now hidden. He alleged that Nick, who passed away not long after Stewart and them were born, had copied Belle & Sebastian.
The line about B&S from Sweden I got from comments at another video. I 'm not from Sweden.
Sweet, hilarious memories! Misheard lyric moment from years ago...."What will happen in the morning when the whirlie-gig gets so crowded....!! Mental pictures of washing lines full of people...
One of my favorite songs from Bryter Layter, certainly Nick's most upbeat album. It's a great melody, Nick is in fine voice, crisp lead guitar by Richard Thompson, and wonderful production by Joe Boyd. As Nick notes "If songs were lines in a conversation, the situation would be fine."
you dont need to convince me.
I think He's one of the big musicians!
I m happy he's amongst us
I love Nick
