I am in Stockholm as a 'nurse' who keeps a friend from insanity due to workaholism. She's 10 years older than I and yesterday she introduced me to Nick Drake. Haven't heard of him before. Now I'm obsessed.
Well, as it's told Nick drake handed the masters into record company without then even knowing he was working on a new album. Which means he mixed it himself. The title track pink moon is out of time, meaning Nick drake purposely recorded it one way then sped it up with editing after, making everything a little sharp. Why he did this I am unsure, for someone that was described as being a human metronome. The tracks on pink moon being a little more bassy on pink moon? Perhaps. But depending if you slowed the track or sped it up, it would result in less bass or more. The photos and recordings seem like a cover up, to me. Because after studying Nick drake I have pegged him for what I coin a schizoid autistic split. He experienced the world vastly differently from wvwrton around him
@@l3radick Well, that's an absurd load of nonsense. This song is from his first album not his last, and no he didn't mix any of them himself. Pink Moon is not "out of time" whatever that means, your 'explanation' made no sense. The photos and recordings are not a cover up, whatever that means as you haven't even tried to elaborate on that bizarre claim. After studying your comment I have pegged you for what I coin a schizoid fantasist split. You experience the world in your own unique way, then project your imagined ideas onto tragic artists, then announce your findings as facts in pretentious psychobabble.
When I look at images and listen to Nick Drake, I literally feel something in my heart, and it sometimes overwhelms me to the point that I have to stop. 🙏💚
A soul so young yet so haunted, fluent in emotion and articulate in transmission. Tears still fall around the world each day for you Nick; for your pain in life and for our loss since.
Beauty is a double edged sword. That which makes you beautiful will rely on traits not commonly possessed. It stands you out from the crowd and leaves you alone in your mind. Nick’s beauty lifted him up high. So high that he drowned in the clouds.
This is a beautiful version. Nick Drakes was way ahead of his time and audience. There is a certain sophistication and expression of the soul, very rarely expressed through the song form, that he managed to do through his talent. One can hear his soul, yearning and searching for a better day. No longer trapped by the physical flesh. I feel sure his beautiful soul is flying beyond the clouds. Rest in peace and God bless you Nick. drake.🙏❤️🎼.x
Love the songs of Nick Drake . And wished he woukd have stayed a little bit longer ... and that he had had someone to hold him here. Down on earth. WITH ALL HIS TALENT AND DREAMS. 🌱🌷🌳
I’ve read all of the comments. Those of us who love Nick really are like a club. I discovered him at the age of 50, right about the time I realized I couldn’t do criminal defense work anymore. It’s a dark place to return to, but I still love Nick.
When the day is done Down to earth then sinks the sun Along with everything that was lost and won When the day is done When the day is done Hope so much your race would be all run Then you find you jumped the gun Have to go back where you begun When the day is done When the night is cold Some get by some grow old Just to show life's not made of gold When the night is cold When the night is cold Weren’t you ever told It’s the time when fear is bought and sold When the night is cold When the game's been fought Newspaper blown across the court You lost much quicker than you ever would have thought Now the game's been fought When the party's through Seems so sad for you Didn't do the things you meant to do Now there's no time to start anew Now the party's through When they’ve sung this song Maybe you won’t feel quite so strong Your hopes won’t last quite so long When they’ve sung this song When they’ve sung this song Won’t be so sure what’s right what’s wrong Not so sure where you belong When they’ve sung this song When the day is done Down to earth then sinks the sun Along with things that were lost and won When the day is done When the day is done You hope so much your race would be all run Then you find you jumped the gun Have to go back where you begun When the day is done
Very good ! But according to Peter Rice he did not really sing "party's" through but when your part is through... Meaning we all play our "part" like in a play. (At least that is what he told me and he was working with Nick in the beginning).
My oh my! Why has Nick come to me at 57 years of age. His music has taken hold of me. I feel I have been missing out all these years. I am hearing his music for the very first time and I love it.
Would that I could discover his music over again! Enjoy it! I’m 22 years old, and it was my father who introduced me to his music when I was 16 or so. My dad has listened to him since about the early 1990s, I would guess.
Despite the path his life took, and though he never realized it, he had found his purpose in life and that was to bring people together in peace, love and harmony. God bless you sweet Nick.🌹
Im 50 years old. I was more into haevier stuff like eletric blues, rock , jazz. I found him in the right time, I think. His music just talk to me and sometime lead me to tears. Just deep as emotional, now I cant leave without his 3 master peaces.
His fingerstyle in the folk genre was miles ahead of everyone else in his time .. wat a beautiful gentle voice which is down to his upper class English upbringing .. 🎸🎸🇮🇪🇮🇪
lyrics: (sorry for any mistakes, this is just what i hear) when the day is done, down to earth then sinks the sun, along with everything that was lost and won, when the day is done. when the day is done, hope so much you race would be all run, then you find you jumped the gun. have to go back where you begun, when the day is done. when the night is cold, some get by some grow old, just to show life's not made if gold, when the night is cold. when the night is cold, weren't you ever told? it's the time when fear is bought and sold, when the night is cold. when the game's been fought, newspaper blown across the court, you lost much quicker than you ever would've thought, now the game's been fought. when the party's through, seems so sad for you, didn't do the things you meant to, now there's no time to start a new, now the party's through. when they have sung the song, maybe you would feel quite so strong, your hopes won't last quite so long, when they have sung the song. when they have sung this song, won't be so sure, what's right, what's wrong. not so sure where you belong, when they have sung this song. when the day is done, down to earth and sinks the sun, along with things that were lost and won, when the day is done. when the day is done, you hope so much your race will be all run, then you find you jumped the gun, have to go back where you begun, when the day is done.
Thank you, i know the lyrics from the studio version but had a hard time to understand all of the parts that are "new". Im happy that someone wrote the lyrics down in the comment section
I'm in love with this man who lived and died before my time. Beautiful, beautiful, such a tease to have had him in such a short time on this earth. So tragic makes me sad.
Like he's blowing out the lights one by one with each verse he sings. And we're left in darkness. Like he was. Beautiful, haunting, chilling. Lke he was..
If you look for a few more 💎 my favorite songs : Jackson C.Frank - Milk and Honey John Abercrombie - Timeless Pat Metheny- Midwestern Night Dream Mahavishnu Orchestra - You Know, You Know Alice Coltrane - Turiya & Ramakrishna Lhasa De Sela - De Cara a la Pared Yussef Lateef - Like It Is
There's a track called 'Solid Air' by Nicks friend John Martyn who was worried about his depression. It's well worth checking out. The double bass player is Danny Thompson the same player on Five Leaves Left.
I liked the album version but I love that. Astonishing. I haven't had a song give the shivers like that for ages. (Death Letter Blues was the the last one)
Did he use synthesizers? Did he shave his genitals? Did he sang about artificial intelligence taking over the world? to be a genius is not the definition of being ahead of time.
being a genius is not the definition of being ahead of time. thanks to the likes of you, who don't understand what ahead of time means, it means nothing but singularity in 2024.
2:54 I know that was probably a mistake in the recording but I think it adds something to it, almost as if we're listening to Nick from the other side, but the signal is breaking up.
He had some nice lyrics like all in the world is not Gold. Good insights that Artists give you. I appreciate this kind of Artistry. To be able to see things in the way an Artists does. Bowie use to say that Artists provide information to people and I agree. It’s communication and making you see things you might not consider otherwise. Just like an Author makes you see the world from their perspective or from the character’s point of view in their stories and novels. It’s like putting on someone else’s skin and seeing through their eyes. After your done, you’ve learned something you didn’t know and have grown or expanded your knowledge a bit more. A good song can do this and a good film as well. You can end up transfixed into an alternate reality and you forget yourself and it’s like an out of body experience practically. Total immersion in another world and you navigate it along with the people in the story or journey. This is what is great about Art 🖼 when I relate and identify with it! But I really appreciate the survivors like Sugarman even more! I was really moved by that documentary and how poignant it is because he’s been rediscovered and praised now at the end of his life! I’m so glad that happened just like the Chet Baker documentary Let’s Get Lost! One of the best documentaries about an Artist and musician I’ve ever seen! I highly recommend Searching for Sugarman and Bakers film to everyone. 👏🏻😊
I always like to wonder what more beauty all these tragic artists (Jeff Buckley, Kurt Cobain and Elliott Smith to name a few) could have graced the world with if given the time. To harness time and shape it to some sweet arrangement with this kind of quality is quite rare. Love you Nick.
Well, in the documentary A Skin Too Few, (I believe) his sister recalled that Nick, in his far gone mental illness, stated "I don't have anymore songs." It's so heart wrenching, but his reality was what it was. The fact that he did exist and graced this world with such immeasurable beauty through song is more than enough to appreciate. He "did his time" so to speak, and I believe that can be said with all those who have gone too soon. ❤
@@tayloratkinsmusic yeah, that just seems so fucking sad. To be that diminished by suffering for a long time that nothing fits. I've heard it happen to people like David Foster Wallace who also committed suicide when he felt like his writing simply didn't read like how he envisioned it should, but depression is relentless in its power to fuck up any real connection to imagination, growth in oneself and so on.
I think it's from a tape/cassette of "home recordings" from the Music room at Far Leys that was distributed after Nicks death. I've seen someone claiming one such tape was actually given to a fan by someone in Nicks family, but I can't verify this. There are also some demos/home recordings on the "Family Tree" official release (including "Day is done"), but I think that is a somewhat shorter version. This version is hauntingly beautiful with the chord variations/finger picking improvisations, and can be found on several b*****legs released over the years. In my opinion, the "home recordings" surpass the original versions found on Nicks records, and I especially recommend the breathtaking instrumental "Far Leys" ( sometimes called "Sketch 1") which is perhaps the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard, but was never released on any record. Nick was truly one of a kind ...
I so wish the whole album could be made available like this, without the overblown string orchestra arrangements that nearly ruin it for me. What were they thinking, covering up Drake's delicate vocals and excellent guitar playing with all that Muzak-y rubish?
They are recorded in the same room, so it's not possible to just get the guitar on its own, although some people have done some pretty good jobs with clever editing.
Hi I think Saturday sun from memory I imagine it was nick playing the piano and singing . Drums and a double bass . Not sure I will have to dig it out and give another listen . I would put it on repeat I loved singing along to it .
Pour ce qui est des photos que l'on voit dans cette vidéo, elles illustrent, à mon avis le meilleur livre sur Nick Drake, "Nick Drake. Remembered For A While". Certaines recadrées et retravaillées bien sûr.

Join the club... Same thing happened to me.
Thank you

He left us 50 years ago & it's just lovely to read so many comments keeping his magic alive & may it continue.
A Beautiful Young Genius Who Left All Too Soon.
58 and finding Nick for the second time in my life … first time when I was 14 - somehow his lyrics seem “more” nowadays 😊
I watched Mackenzy Cook talking about him 2 days ago I googled him oh my I'm 59 an old punk but this guys music touches something in people
This is a beautiful version. Slower...and the way he hangs on to the ending of the words....ohhhhh so beautiful.
i thought this! (it's also a lower key :D) but yes, the ending of the words are very beautiful here :')
and a few extra verses ! it's like double the song

Yes, that is just how I feel too. Want to listen - yet such an overwhelming experience. Beauty and sorrow all mingled together
relax, there is no magic talisman. it's not magic it's just music.
A soul so young yet so haunted, fluent in emotion and articulate in transmission. Tears still fall around the world each day for you Nick; for your pain in life and for our loss since.
To paraphrase Don McLean, “ this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you”. RIP, Nick.
He was such a gifted guitarist and songwriter. A real shame his life was cut short.
Beauty is a double edged sword. That which makes you beautiful will rely on traits not commonly possessed. It stands you out from the crowd and leaves you alone in your mind. Nick’s beauty lifted him up high. So high that he drowned in the clouds.

Hi Stoker, what you wrote about Nick is very beautiful and profound 🕊
Timeless. ❤❤❤ A true poet, a incredible musician. Thanks a lot ,Nick. R.I.P.

When the day is done
Down to earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything that was lost and won
When the day is done
When the day is done
Hope so much your race would be all run
Then you find you jumped the gun
Have to go back where you begun
When the day is done
When the night is cold
Some get by some grow old
Just to show life's not made of gold
When the night is cold
When the night is cold
Weren’t you ever told
It’s the time when fear is bought and sold
When the night is cold
When the game's been fought
Newspaper blown across the court
You lost much quicker than you ever would have thought
Now the game's been fought
When the party's through
Seems so sad for you
Didn't do the things you meant to do
Now there's no time to start anew
Now the party's through
When they’ve sung this song
Maybe you won’t feel quite so strong
Your hopes won’t last quite so long
When they’ve sung this song
When they’ve sung this song
Won’t be so sure what’s right what’s wrong
Not so sure where you belong
When they’ve sung this song
When the day is done
Down to earth then sinks the sun
Along with things that were lost and won
When the day is done
When the day is done
You hope so much your race would be all run
Then you find you jumped the gun
Have to go back where you begun
When the day is done
I’m always so very grateful to those of you who take the time to provide us with the lyrics … thank you ❤

Beautiful melancholy.
Hope Nick is now where the melody flies free of sadness.
R.I.P
Very good ! But according to Peter Rice he did not really sing "party's" through but when your part is through... Meaning we all play our "part" like in a play.
(At least that is what he told me and he was working with Nick in the beginning).
This man deserves so much respect for what he's done.
May he rest in peace!
This man HAS immeasurable respect.
I think he does - he died 39 years ago...
My oh my! Why has Nick come to me at 57 years of age. His music has taken hold of me. I feel I have been missing out all these years. I am hearing his music for the very first time and I love it.
It was meant for you at that age. I heard of him through my first guitar teacher when I was like 11 years old I think.
54 for me. And I also discovered Jackson C Frank (whom Nick covered quite a bit) and Townes Van Zandt late... better late than never :)
Oh my, I discovered Nick Drake 15mins ago and enjoying him immensely, also 57 hahaha. Love discovering new artists.
Same! 57 and found Nick. Beautiful
Would that I could discover his music over again! Enjoy it! I’m 22 years old, and it was my father who introduced me to his music when I was 16 or so. My dad has listened to him since about the early 1990s, I would guess.
I can still tear up while listening to Nick Drake. This was no exception. 🖤
Remembering Nick today 11~25~21 He shone so very brightly for such a short time. He was just too sensitive for this world ♥️💫🥀
Amen my friend . Feeling the same way here in Maine
He makes the simplicity sound like heaven. He doesn't belong to this cruel planet, he belongs somewhere much better than here...
Hi, Nick is dead.
We know that unfortunately.
He was a beautiful soul.
Ghostly, ethereal and otherworldly, ill never be embarassed about love again , absolutely brilliant!
Love these raw recordings
Despite the path his life took, and though he never realized it, he had found his purpose in life and that was to bring people together in peace, love and harmony.
God bless you sweet Nick.🌹
Very haunting! He was a poet as well as a musician. His voice is soft and velvety. This clip is very sincere and moving. RIP beautiful legend!

Seems to be his thing... dead strings. I often wonder if that's how he liked it or was he to lazy to change them?
@@rhugh02 it's a more muted sound with less brightness. Darker if you will, yet softer.. better for the melancholy sound.. he knew what he was doing
I prefer dead strings. I'm also too lazy to change them. I change mine maybe once every year, year and a half
I never heard it said that way . I concure my virtual friend . I from U.K. where your wisdom hails.

I'm in love with this man who lived and died before my time. Beautiful, beautiful, such a tease to have had him in such a short time on this earth. So tragic makes me sad.
His trills are just perfection.
Sad World this which through Carelessness and Selfishness create many a Persons to feel isolated and forgotten.
Tweak, smooth, play, play the song until the perfection.
Like he's blowing out the lights one by one with each verse he sings. And we're left in darkness. Like he was. Beautiful, haunting, chilling. Lke he was..
Wow - I didn't know this existed... phenomenal 🔥

I so wish the whole album could be made available like this, without the overblown string orchestra arrangements that nearly ruin it for me. What were they thinking, covering up Drake's delicate vocals and excellent guitar playing with all that Muzak-y rubish?
i love the orchestration
@@asimo3030 I agree to a point: it's beautiful but... so is this laid-back version.
They are recorded in the same room, so it's not possible to just get the guitar on its own, although some people have done some pretty good jobs with clever editing.
Hi I think Saturday sun from memory I imagine it was nick playing the piano and singing . Drums and a double bass . Not sure I will have to dig it out and give another listen . I would put it on repeat I loved singing along to it .
There is a guy on you tube that purely plays nicks songs . I don't recall his name . Definitely worth a look he is very good.
Where does this movie and this recording come from? I miss history and credits.
Pour ce qui est des photos que l'on voit dans cette vidéo, elles illustrent, à mon avis le meilleur livre sur Nick Drake, "Nick Drake. Remembered For A While". Certaines recadrées et retravaillées bien sûr.
respect to downloader
