Same as his usual CGCFCE except down a step

His music haunts me

I love him so much and I never knew him. His voice transcends time.

Drake's songs are astonishing.

Not a good point since he didn't have a long career. But nonetheless you're right.

The guitar is monumental on this version, I far prefer this to the version on the "Made to Love Magic" collection.

If you can find the 1987 Time of No Reply collection on Hannibal, I think this is the version of Hanging on a Star it features. I far prefer this version to the version on the 2004 collection Made to Love Magic, which has a completely different guitar take by Nick.

i wouldn’t say the other version is overproduced, just different

Is someone playing piano with him? I’m really wondering now

i think it’s just his dead nickel wound strings. his lowest note is a Bb which is a jump from the normal E it was probably strung for, so the harmonics combined with his picking style creates a unique sound

He was certainly very close to the end of his life at this point. Heartbreaking.

It was meant for his 4th album

Nick instantly hooked me too. Listened to his studio albums all one after the other that day. No other music makes me feel this way.

Townes Van Zandt also.

He had what we now call psychiatric polypharmacy. The interaction of the drugs given him ruined him.

You are absolutely right on.

@@sallyduros Thank you Sally. I suppose all we really want in this life is to be heard. even for a moment,, To be recognized for being here.. even if its so fleeting. And maybe to convey a feeling or idea or experience we have had to someone else... I read once about Vincent van Gogh. after listening to Don McLean song starry night. (another favorite and very melancholia) I just happen to be siting in a park reading a book i happened to find in an old book store right across from the park about Vincent van Gogh that in order to describe the scene he was witnessing in a park at dusk with the lights glowing on the street ,, he decided he should just draw the scene in a letter...his brother was so taken with the drawing he told him he should paint. I was drawn to his story myself sitting and reading about it in that NYC park one night watching the lights flicker on as it got later and too my eyes adjusting in a hazy way. And there i found myself experiencing this serendipitous beautiful moment with no one to share it with when an old friend called and i tried to tell them about it and they just prattled on about some drama in their life. And with all that ..I'm just saying thank you for noticing as well. I also noticed the old radio on one of your posted uploads of 4 years ago in a book store,, I happen to have that exact same radio. and a cat!

@@sallyduros By the way i did console my friend that night instead.. so i don't sound to self centered..LOL. Oh and i only noticed the book store thing you had up until after i wrote my response to you ...fascinating how there are all these parallels if you notice them. makes me think its just that certain types resonate similarly with certain things... cheers!

chuck it is not bullshit. you express what many feel but don't take the time to say. Every word you wrote was the truth. Drake was The Van Gogh of acoustic music. He left so much beauty but Was so troubled by the world that held him captive.

@@chuckthebull I started to write something in hopes that words could capture what it is that music and all art does but then the Web burped and my attempt was lost to the webs. Thanks for your writing. It is good for the heart to take it in.

PROBABLY WHEN HE WAS MOST LUCID AND AT CREATIVE PEAK AFTER SLEEP

listen to blossom and bird flew by. saturday sun is also up there

​@@markbutler7931More like when he stayed up all night on moroccan hashish 😅

There was a box set, first released about forty years ago, which had his three studio LPs and a fourth one called Time Of No Reply which was made up of a few early recordings from 1967/68, alternate versions and his last recordings from 1974 which included this track.
