I can't believe I have discovered Nick's Drake music in 2024 to become one of my favorite musicians...His music is outstanding, deep and so beautiful. Sadly today I learned he commited suicide!!! I can't believe it! This story gives me a strong message BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

Tragic that he died so young but at least he's remembered by millions. How many of us can say the same?

Thankyou for this. A wonderful musician 🌟

he was simply ahead of his time ⌛🕊

I’ve always felt Modest Mouse were “The Smiths” of the 90s. Morrissey and Isaac Brock are very similar songwriters in my opinion

We were aiming for the moon we were shooting for the stars, but the kids were just shooting at the buses and the cars.

"May You Live Until You Die" such beautiful line.

Thanks

this is a shockingly great quality video about my favorite band of all time. subscribed

Ben, listeners, throughout it all there's the sea. Let there be peace🍀

where did you find the nick drake video footage of him as a child

I love Isaac Brock, I wanna have his babies 😍

His new music is terrible, wish he kept true to his sound somewhat at least

I may get recognised when I’m gone,I was bullied constantly as a kid,the same family still do it now,ive penned songs while locked in my room since a kid,went through depression much of my life with what I’ve been put through,songwriting is my only way to block everything out.

Solid air 1973 by John martyn

Elena is that one unique person that makes sed song sounds so beautiful

I hear no melancholy in Drake at all. Just a long sadness that nobody is fecking listening.

Nothing tragic about Drake. He was obviously a genius, everything he did dripped with it, ‘Pink Moon’ I think he wanted it to be about 10 mins long but you aren’t allowed to make 10 mins of music, you have to make 40 mins. Nick got it down to 30. ‘Bryter Layter’ was his one go at positivity, and everyone hated it. No wonder he said ‘oh fuck this it’s a waste of time’.

Anyone knows what preamp he used?

No one listens to more Lord Huron than me. I got my yt year in review for music and I rank in to top 0.1% of listeners.

@9:35 'The life of Nick Drake reminds us that, even when our own lives seem meaningless, we CAN still have an unimaginable impact on the lives of others, through our words, deeds & love. And maybe, this is enough.'❤

Comforting words, at the end of the video, the true value of our lives

So if we are to give props, lets give props to Nick!

Years ago now, but I had a panic attack listening to Small Things. Never had one before, never had one since. I was majorly depressed. I love the song, but it sent me spiralling that day. I think that speaks to the real soul in his music.

November 25 2024 is Nicks 50th anniversary. Rest in Peace.

Rest in Peace on your 50th anniversary! November 25th 1974/2024.

If it wasn’t for Nick Drake, I wouldn’t have discovered CGCFCE. Such a beautiful tuning.

Beautifully spoken and thought provoking ❤

How can someone so inconsistent mess up so consistently?

Could you imagine a world where Nick Drake finally found love....and lived to make albums about love...

Its all about wanting to die and the earth embracing our demise.

He is genius❤

I absolutely love him but I can see why the industry didn't take to him. His tracks were just not that exciting, when you compare it to other people. He was a genius, he had an understanding of the guitar that no one ever reached, but his manager dumped him and he was without any mentor or direction. I love Nick, but let's not pretend that he was a perfect fit for the 1970 music scene.

“Your other life” is nearly a masterpiece

Anyone have insight to the album cover of IS IT Such a strange cover and I feel like there's a deeper meaning that I haven't quite gotten to yet....thx

what a amazing video! thank you ❤️❤️🥰

I'll leave a kinder, less sarcastic comment now. Why couldn't this be an hour long? I would gladly listen to an hour of you deep-diving into the lyrics of Modest Mouse, because they are genuinely fascinating and could easily hold up an hour-long video essay. You clearly understand what Isaac Brock and his crew are trying to convey. There is so much to be said of their art and I'd love to listen to someone go through it with a fine tooth comb.

WWDBTSES: Am I a joke to you? Im always glad to see MM get praise in any form. That being said... you SKIPPED my favorite album! How dare you!?!

How about uhhhhhh play some of his music so we know what he did as a musician. Or talk about the lyrics he wrote or his unique sound if he had one. Jeez I feel like a fith grade teachor

I'll have to listen to this album with this in mind; I must admit, it's my least favorite of their albums. I don't hate it, but for me they just didn't change it up enough. Like I loved the departure that was "Vide Noir," but... Well, speaking of which, I feel like a lot of people conflate absurdism with atheism, which, it's not that they don't go together but that it's far from a requirement. There's a whole lore to Lord Huron involving reincarnation and shit, and like... Even with that, ESPECIALLY with that, maybe... Because we're talking about eternal existence. Far from being an extrapolation, isn't eternity baked right into The Myth of Sisyphus? There's also Nietzsche's eternal return... All this shit has mystic subtext. Partly because like Nietzsche was drawing from Schopenhauer, who was drawing from Hindu thought, and partly because... Well, they were also in conversation with like Plato, who I'm convinced was drawing from a mystic tradition that goes back to prehistory. Anyway, good to know that Lord Huron actually did put a lot of thought into this album, because I really do like them a lot. Lord Huron was my favorite band until I discovered my-favorite-band-of-all-time-who-changed-my-life The Oh Hellos. Started out as... Well, they never called themselves a Christian band because they didn't want to be exclusive, and I definitely do relate to their earlier stuff on the level of broad spirituality. But their Anemoi Cycle (EPs Notos, Eurus, Boreas, and Zephyrus) is some next level shit. It's like a personal journey of deconstruction of fundamentalism and nationalism and all that that entails, and has some intense thematic progression and recontextualization, imagery from both Greek and Biblical mythology, motifs (both lyrical and melodical) (some of the latter are thematic leitmotifs), word-play... And it's all SO deeply felt and relevant! I am OBSESSED! I've spent a WHOLE bunch of time analyzing their music, flew from Georgia to Rhode Island earlier this year just to see them at the Newport Folk Festival... To be fair, I probably wouldn't have done that if they were still touring regularly (this was the first time they'd performed in 6 years). On the other hand, I don't think I would've done that for anyone else. Maybe Darlingside. But that's another story!

I dont like a single song after Every kingdom, and now i know why. Hes still still one of my favourite guitarists and singers, just when he wasnt sad and low.

Wonderful depiction of bens career so far. Brilliant video

Life changing. I have found myself while listening to Lord Huron. Thank you so much

I had never heard of him or his music til I saw the movie Serendipity and The Lakehouse. Loved it right away and did some research on him. Was so saddened by his story. I don't know what made him so unhappy. Could've been a chemical imbalance. I think he would've been 77 this year. My heart goes out to his family. I have a musician child that I worry about. Very shy, quiet, sensitive, loner, not social, can get depressed. All I can do is be there, pray and hope for the best.

You missed his greatest collaborations, look for his Paul Hartnoll video on you tube, his first directing job for the band money and his short film with Feist. He is also a long time friend of the music producer Flood.

When he did this on jools Holland later show that’s when he hit me with it playing the resonator guitar and doing it live like that it made me a fan instantly he’s very good.

wait are you vox stoica???????????

I don't think it's correct to say that "childhood trauma" is one of the themes of "Five Leaves Left". I think his sister might disagree. It is a theory - touched on in Trevor Dann's book - which seems to have no solid basis in fact. Unless you can quote me lyrics to the contrary.

❤❤❤❤this guys music …hits deep

Thank you for this ❤️
