  • Stop complaining about him getting recognition! It's obvious that he wrote songs for himself (not the industry) and they aren't to be easily felt or understood by everyone. We are just lucky that someone recorded it...

  • This song is one for the days it seems like you feel everything...

    For the days when watching traffic wrenches my heartstrings

    and the sky and clouds are suddenly inconceivable

    and my legs and feet move on their own accord

    and I wonder about every thing that I think I know

    and I try to forget about everything I can't quite remember

    and tell myself to close my eyes and think about a sound

    and that's when I realize that some people were meant to teach us

    how to both Live and Rest In Peace.

    Love.

  • i hear you nick

  • @californiaclaybo I also prefer this version better than TMV's. I feel this version is perfect. But bro, you're really coming across as a total ass. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. Not trying to make anyone mad. Just let the guy have his opinion. You don't have to come here and insult peoples tastes. It's very rude. I wish you the best, have a nice day and keep on enjoying great music.

  • So I love Nick's music. Sometimes I wish I could go back into the past, find him, and chat over a cup of tea about some of the things he writes..

    I really like "Things Behind the Sun".

  • Even though I didn't discover his music directly through commercials or movies, I realize that it's compiled here on YouTube at least in part because someone recognized his greatness and considered it worthy of use. I can waste energy sneering at that or be grateful that this has made it easier for us to discover his body of work. I choose the latter. Given that the man himself craved recognition but could not bring himself to do what was necessary to achieve fame, I'm happy for him.

  • @rvilcheszamora Oh yes indeed. Thank you for responding.

  • @mauriciobeltre Chile has one too. His name is Victor Jara.:)

  • Beautiful song, incredible lyrics.

  • RIP ubermensch
