Place To Be - Nick Drake

[@JoshTurnerGuitar]

Outstandingly performed and recorded. Really, really impressive.

[@georgeboomsmamusic]

Nice one Josh! Really love your tune 'Rockaway', great writing.

[@bobjoyner7174]

Both George and Josh play and sing to a level that would compel Nick to bow his head in admiration! Always wishing you George and Josh God's Loving Peace! @@georgeboomsmamusic

"...now I'm weaker than the palest blue..." One of Nick's greatest lyrics and so tenderly sung on this great performance! My hat's off to you, sir 👍

[@georgeboomsmamusic]

Thanks very much Steve! 👍👍

[@ShinMadero]

I love that lyric because I read it and thought "huh I guess pale blue is a pretty weak color, never thought of it like that."

[@Mikeduffey_]

Dude, you gave this song a whole new meaning. Such power in this songs vulnerability and you delivered it.

[@georgeboomsmamusic]

Cheers Mike, appreciate that! 👍👍

[@jeena6740]

Wow.... this made me cry... this interpretation of nick's song really hit me. It made me think about in what kind of dark place he must have been at the time. So sad the world lost this musical wonder. Thankyou for this cover man.

[@georgeboomsmamusic]

Thanks Jeena for the kind words - really glad you liked it!

[@mkmarak]

wow this is the first cover of "place to be" that manages to sound beautiful even though it's played differently

[@georgeboomsmamusic]

Thanks! Go check out Nick's home demo recording of the tune - that's what I based it on.

[@mkmarak]

When I was young, younger than before I never saw the truth hanging from the door And now I'm older, see it face to face And now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place And I was green, greener than the hill Where flowers grow and the sun shone still Now I'm darker than the deepest sea Just hand me down, give me a place to be And I was strong, strong in the sun I thought I'd see when day was done Now I'm weaker than the palest blue Oh, so weak in this need for you

Bravo. You nailed the soul of this song. Your guitar and vocals are lovely but nobody can do this properly,.or even try, without knowing depth and pain. Your rendition of my all-time favorite song is simply beautiful. Thank you. 🙏

Really appreciate it Brett, all the best!

[@gerardmellon3214]

What have i just heard? I have loved Nick Drake's music since first hearing him way back early 1970. I still have and treasure those albums bought back then. Over the years I have heard many try to cover his work but none so full of emotion as this. Thank You so much George.

[@georgeboomsmamusic]

He has a beautiful collection of work that still holds it's own today - really glad you enjoyed the video Gerard - cheers!

Saw you play this at the Gathering in 2019, the highlight of the show. You did a quick strum before you began playing and I said to my friend, he's going to play the home demo version of Place To Be. Brought him to tears it did.

@@georgeboomsmamusic You're very welcome. Thank you for recording these for us to enjoy. I often times think about Nick and his life. He would be over 70 today if he was still alive and it's amazing how people keep his songs alive by re-recording them, it is a testament to how good a song writer he was. The songs are timeless, this recording could have been done in 1600s and it would still make sense then.
