Elton John - When The Day is Done (Nick Drake Cover)

[astroboirap]

elton u complete and utter twat, u ruined it. go and suck some HIV balls u cunt

[SuperTomo1965]

WTF !! This version is a travesty of collosal magnitude, A jazzed up version of a wonderful song. It's like Kenny Ball doing a version of "Imagine", should never of happened. Be ashamed Elton, be very ashamed.

No use raging, of course it isn't quite as delicate as Drake but at least he recognises his talent.

[nadagraff]

que horrible

[Rock74]

Don't like this as much as Nick Drake's but it's all subjective.

[TOREMJ]

This version is The Shit and goes only to demonstrate how much smaller Elton is than Nick, and how much smaller than the Vegas grandiosity.

- Not bad here. Over the top on "Time Has Told Me". Good on "Way to Blue". Interesting, and thanks for posting. It's neat to hear this artist at a time when he was searching for his sound and style. Too bad Nick couldn't stay.

Love this version. Just cause it's more uptempo doesnt make it a 'glad song'

[MrCaioliz]

well he is great but he screwed up this song,this ain't a glad song!

@MrCaioliz As far as I know Nick Drake produced this recording, before he did a version of this song himself. Please blame only Mr. Drake himself then, if you don't like it. He worked with a young and unknown session musician named Reg Dwight back then, who only hoped to once make a living with his own music.

@strangefruit42 Sorry and thanks for the information. I didn't know this.

[strangefruit42]

@MrCaioliz Sorry as well. I tend to be a little forward, as so many people have this it's-Elton-John-so-it-must-be-­big-headed-mainstream-crap attitude. Happy when I can share some of my little knowledge then. :)
