The Songs Of Nick Drake - Way To Blue
13. Day Is Done
Scott Matthews

[@RossDear-zm4nj]

Timeless , beautiful music . Good version .

[@raincats2011]

Happy birthday to Nick .....I think Scott is a 99% match...he could do all the songs sound very much like a Nick drake imaginary concert, there is an intensity and an uplifting feel that scott is able to replicate as well as giving it´s own style and melody to the song......Brilliant!!

[@orvpibbs2905]

Love Scott's version of this Nick classic

[@aslakiversen1912]

Känsligt, närvarande. Underbart framfört!

[@ghassan054]

[@drissgreen1280]

Awesome!!!

[@shaunwest7535]

[@govindarajrajkumar5701]

Great version

[@mateogavela6143]

This song is toó great

[@yakacm]

Ho do you cover a Nick Drake song? They were just too perfect to start with, but if you want to hear them live I guess someone has to cover them. Nick fragile home counties singing voice is so much a part of the songs, especially when you think of how little time he had left after he recorded the songs, makes them so much more mystical and soulful.

[@forrestl5597]

he sounds WAAAAAY too happy

[@PaulWilday1]

magnificent

[@TheLooville]

Beautiful version

[@fiffipapiljotten]

Underbart! Heeeelt underbart!

[@jl.8408]

ja! Kanon.

[@hexis23]

To all the clever critics in the comment section: we are all eagerly awaiting for your brilliant covers!

[@LaughingStock_]

Why? Being a critic doesn't necessitate being accomplished at that area of creativity in which one is critiquing.

[@Cardnim]

sounds a bit like Chris Cornell (RIP)

[@lordjagged8625]

Yeah? I wish he sounded like Chris NOW..fkn silent..he twatted this song.

[@timar_inc]

Nick Drake and Cornell ❤

[@louisfrancis11]

@@lordjagged8625you have a bad ear. 7 years on, do you wish to repent?

[@LorisEmanuelCianni]

why he changes the notes?

[@prime-mate]

Serious Jeff Buckley vibes..

[@wraithoftheirish]

look up Josh Taylor. He figured out how Nicholas got the sound from his gituar. And he sings and plays beautifully. he is on you tube.He amazes me!

[@owdpotter7597]

I think you may mean Josh Turner

[@nuclear944]

Newspaper blown across the court? Are you sure?

[@LoftConsultingllc]

no thats actually correct i had to double check i was thinking the exact sam thing

[@gillesserrigny6324]

Nick Drake never played on a Guild M20 🤣🤣. But, Scott Matthews plays a Guild D25 🤔 ?

[@Gino_Core]

why go up in that high voice like that fucking hell

[@eliodamatta326]

The Nick Drake's vocal is unmatched. honestly didn't liked....

[@LaughingStock_]

That was the equivalent of rocking out. I'm all for twists in covers - in fact, that is pretty much obligatory, otherwise, why bother. But the artist here just didn't get it.

[@patricelongchamps9880]

An ok prestation, but the intonations on lyrics are at the wrong spots. To much stretch and crescendo on words 1.09---- (Drake never did ). He is simply missing the Drake natural intuition. At the end, the rending is a kind of "none-emotional song" and a bit to much "structural". Sorry for the fans

[@louisfrancis11]

Better than the original

[@4921java]

As a singer/songwriter who does very few covers, I always try to honor the original work by not fucking with it. This here is like an artist painting a necklace on the Mona Lisa and saying "look what I did" and pointing at the whole thing. I have never heard any thing else by this artist. But, I can tell you that his ego is too big and his talent, too little. His voice is for shit. He had the perfect set up to do something great. This guy's vocal talent and musicality is marginal. If he were any good, he would have put an melodic twist on it. Personally, I could, but I wouldn't because this song is not about me doing my thing. It is about honoring Nick Drake. Dude's a hack. I can only hope he is a good songwriter, though. My name is Michael McVady, by the way. Look me up here and critique me all you want, thanks.

[@bengandy8880]

Maybe you should listen to Scott Mathews then. He, most probably unlike you is an internationally recognised and respected artist.

[@4921java]

The fact that he is an internationally respected artist, as you say, makes it worse. Too many people, like you, that would applaud that garbage.

[@4921java]

Ben, you and I both know that doing our own thing with "yesterday" would fail. Any deviation is subtraction. Same with this song. Get real.

[@4921java]

The song "Yesterday" I mean.

[@joaojuca]

Calm down, man! haha. You're like personally insulted, don't do this. It's a guy singing a song he likes or was invited to. You don't need to freak out about it.

[@adamm.1604]

Honestly, he took WAY too much Liberty with the melody & phrasing of Day is Done. I personally think he made the melody of the song much more boring and much less emotive by trying to force parts where he could go up/loud and try to show off a bit or whatever. Kinda lame; the original melody is TOO beautiful and perfect, it shouldn't be altered at all really; maybe the occasional note at most. If the performance title is The music of Nick Drake, I would've thought that the lead singer would take less liberties with the music.

[@ValladaoMateus]

Nice one, Todd.

[@chrisnemat]

dzasdvas basadgas I honestly agree with you

[@shinyrust4809]

​@@chrisnemat Deep breath and reply... He sang an almost perfect version of the scentiment of the song.

[@louisfrancis11]

This is the comment of someone unfamiliar with the concept of emotive art.

[@swrose66marchangel]

Nick Drake wannabe...right down to the hair.
