while it may not differ from the original that much, his covers of Nick Drake sound so natural that if I didn't know any better I would think they were his own songs. Nick Drake is amazing. Beck is amazing. Plain and simple. And for those who complain about Beck's version not sounding different enough, would you originally want him to do it much different?
A good cover. Ya gotta respect anyone who honors an original with a cover unless its completely destroyed, which it is not here. I love Drake's stuff. What a freakin loss he was. If he could have only held on just a little longer until his work got the respect it always deserved. Very Van Gogh like in that respect. Check out the cover of this song by plectrum34 on this site. Mindblowing.
Very interesting version. The chords behind the part "take a look you may see me..." weren't what I was hoping for, but everything came together nicely.
I like it, its different enough to not feel like its impersonating Nick. I hope people continue to cover him, it makes me seriously emotional to hear his music physically living on.
So much warmth in this labour of love
oh my god. beck did a cover of parasite? this changes my life. :)
One of Nick’s most disturbing songs. Beck does it justice.
i love his voice its so... cool.

This song would've worked quite well in Sea Change
luis salazar It's a cover of Nick Drake, but I agree.
High praise indeed, showing how Sea Change is on the level of Nick Drake. It's that good.
The double-tracking still hits me in the internals
this is such a beautiful and moving cover
It's kinda cool listening to Beck singing without that whole gruely sound in his voice.
Awesome cover.
really beautiful..........!
Great album ! I sure hope BecK continues churning out great music well into the future , I'm like a kid in a candystore getting lost ...
12 years later he still hasn't disappointed me

Great analogy, I love it :)
Great cover.

Really nice version !
Not bad. It just doesn't convey the feeling of the original...or for that matter, the cover done by plectrum34...which is outstanding.
Steve Miller vibes
