these Nick Drake covers are simply beauty personified. what's the chance of you ever coming to Tanworth-in-arden for the Nick Drake gathering?it deserves you. x
The best Nick Drake cover I've ever heard! Thanks for uploading this! I was looking for this song and I couldn't find a vid on RUclips that worked on my phone, unless it was a cover, and then I found yours! it was almost as listening to Drake himself!
Just beautiful...my favourite song of all time. I've been a fan since I was 14...and I'm 50 now. For all of us who play guitar...can I just say...what skill you have...vocally this is as close to Nick as it gets.
I recently discovered Nick Drake which was one of the most beautiful musical discoveries of the last years for me. You perfectly capture the essence of this song, wonderful rendition my friend.
Thank you. I appreciate that you stopped by to listen! I record the sound directly to Garageband on a Macbook, just adjusting the volume, highs/lows and treble. I gathered a few acoustic presets for me over the years though, all with experimenting with those built in options. I use Sony Vegas for the final video/audio processing and cutting.
@JakeKirkpatrick I'm glad you like it :-) thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's a Zoom H2 Recorder. I'll try to send you the links of some of the recordings when I manage to upload them. Really, thanks for listening and stopping by. I appreciate it! You're too kind.
Wonderful music and thank to you. Nick Drake is a unique and inimitable musician, and covers of his music are "a rare rare find". These yours are worthy of something more. The best and the most respectful covers of the essence of his great music I've ever heard . This song for me might be one of Drake's best songs and possibly it could be one of the hardest to play. I wonder which one was the most difficult for you to learn and play. Thank you again for the time and the costantly effort you have had to this. It really seems as if he had lent his hand and lifted you to his place in the cloud... Have a nice time.
You should contact the Nick Drake estate and see if you can do a Broadway show or tour of Nick Drake’s work. His material is unique and special and the world needs to enjoy it; your work brings him alive. His work needs to live and your performances give it life.
@hmpfdroop Thank you for stopping by! It's hard to lock the low E in this tuning, especially with a capo on. The strings were quite old too. I'm glad you still enjoyed it!
Most excellent Nick Drake (and other) covers! Great guitar work and voice. Your originals are beautifully creative as well. Glad I found you! New subscriber. :)
You're quite welcome! I'm currently making a Nick Drake song/video, and I wanted to see what other Nick Drake covers were out there on RUclips. I like your covers best :)
Don't know if I've already commented on this vid bust just want to say bravo again. This is excellent. I'm learning this song at the minute. It's nice to play. Haven't quite got the intricate picking skills though of yourself, or the long nails :-D. Keep uploading man you're great!
Totally agree with iconoclast i watched the same and this has blown my socks off. If you had the courage and will to do this I would seriously consider going out and doing this stuff life for "a heck of a lot" of money!
I'm glad you like my rendition. Thank you for listening! I appreciate it.
First heard Nick back in 1993. Its so incredible to finally see someone nail the songs. Beautifully done

An incredible rendition of a hauntingly beautiful song. You did great.
Great. You are the best interpreter of Nick Drake I've ever seen Mr. Wilden. I never tire of hearing it!
insane...
very smooth n natural feeling...doesn't sound forced
Beautiful cover on one of the lyrically, most touching songs, ever!
This is on another level.
Thank you for listening! I appreciate the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed my try.

Wow! Captures Drake's frail, poetic musicality and I didn't even miss Robert Kirby's superb orchestration...Congratulations.

Tus versiones son magníficas Tobias!!. Gran tributo le haces a Nick...Bravo.

I'm officially loving what you're doing with Drake music, I can image him actually playing and singing this.
One of my favorite Nick Drake's music! And Tobias Walden as always, does a great job at playing it!

My favorite Nick's song. Great cover!

The voice, the tones, the playing. Superb!

I have followed Nick Drake since ‘72 and you are the closest to the feel and warmth of his unique sound.

Brilliant! Sadly, there is no video of Nick playing live. Your videos are the next best thing. Thanks for sharing!!
