I'd been playing the bass wrongly for ages. I hadn't been alternating between the 6th and 5th. When I sussed this out it sounded so much better. Nothing new from you on the cards?
beautiful. This has always been among my favourite Nick Drake songs, probably because it is a bit of a downer and I tend to fall for that sort of stuff.
this is pretty cool. love your voice man

I agree Jon it is one of his best songs, downer or not! You did an awesome job of it my frend! I love the Scottish accent on "town"...charming
did you get my message regarding recording BTW?

good job, i actually think it sounds good in the lower pitch, although it changes the feel.
Isn't it strange how notes have their own personalities?

really like this one John...especially the base pattern, and the way you sing it! Great job!

I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out. I got a proper mike and external soundcard a while ago and it has helped get the sound better.
All the best.

Looking forward to more of your uploads.

Thanks equality53000.
You're right. I can't think of many songs which are quite so bleak. But good nonetheless. Not many people write with such honesty.
I'll have something else on soon. Maybe I'll raise the tempo a wee bit though !
