Nick Drake - Blossom

"Blossom", by Nick Drake. From the album "Family Tree".
I do not own any rights.

A Nick Drake demo is infinitely more precious than the soulless, slick Top 40 garbage polluting the cultural landscape. My life has had its fair share of days when I've felt totally disconnected from other people, days when I felt no one understood me or even cared. Nick Drake's music gives me strength because I can connect to it. It gives me comfort and can shine through the storm clouds in my soul. Nick's songs will always "blossom" in my heart. Rest in peace Nick, your music and life was not in vain. We love you!!

Don't care what everybody says. Nick is still nick. He sounds beautiful in this recording. Seemed to really be having a good day. I can never really know, but he sounds very happy and it makes me profoundly sad and joyful.

Who is everybody?

[@joalco3]

everybody seems to agree!

[@lancasterdodd9152]

One of the greatest songs ever created.

[@coddmodd]

Agreed

[@jhenyalovering]

Yes, thank you! He moves my soul like no other......

[@hardfolk]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

Nick Drake est plus que le reflet d'une époque. C'est un astéroïde fantôme qui revient jeter son dévolu sur l'art sonore. Une onde décadente chargée de paradoxes d'où s'échappent l'obscurantisme et l'irrationnel, facteurs hypnotiques défiant les âmes vulnérables en quête d'absolu..

j'adoooooore !!!! magnifique chanson...si simple et si jolie

[@BilisNegra]

From a person prey to depression, deathly so in fact. All the more impressive.

[@retrovideos1445]

Yes it has been pitch shifted, I have the original demos that used to be freely distributed on the internet in the late 1990s. They have also cut off the intro of him fiddling about with the guitar.

[@heathinvaderstudios]

Do you still have the original demos? If so, could you send me a download ink (if you can that is)?

[@iChronical]

Yeah I'd love to hear those too :)

[@ArthurProust]

Me too ... NICK DRAKE

[@Amrhakim09]

Would love to hear them

[@s3q6v96n]

hey, you still have those demos?

[@rknrlgrl6146]

This song heals my weary soul :)

[@pazeaton345]

Siempre estás en mi cabeza como una canción que no recuerdo pero me sé inimaginablemente

[@debsthewebs8146]

Love this!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@mariovarraut6061]

"Family Tree" est un album constitué de démos de titres inédits.

[@camperosaurus]

thanks for the upload!

[@stevenwalden5652]

Great song, interesting to hear it sung by Nicole Reynolds. Much underrated like Mayfair, Joey, Clothes of Sand and They're leaving me behind. Actually all top draw Nick Drake songs

[@TheGman858]

Could have been a masterpiece with strings and rythm section accompaniment not that it's lacking in anyway but I imagine nick thinking about such things when working on these rough drafts

[@isabellabullard89]

I'll just think of you and the blossom.

[@piper888]

I picture in my imagination, a video to this. Sorta like Disney's Fantasia. A Spring fairy flies around and beckons the bees to pollinate. Then dances with butterflies. And buds open up into flowers as she touches them🦋🐝 🏵️🌸🌺🌷🥀🌹💐🌸🏵️🌻🍀🌿🌱🌸🌹🌸🌸🏵️🏵️🌸🌻❗💛

@@rknrlgrl6146 thanks......,,😉

[@Daness74]

Thx Arnon Dude!!! ;-)

[@Simone-bc2fo]

Perfect breakup song

[@LadyRoss20th]

In family tree his voice sounds a little like Elvis Presley

[@thereal_dude]

I uploaded a version with the correct speed. Check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqu2cpmYjb2nhpY

[@whoatherejohnny]

The playback speed sounds too slow on this...the tone of his voice isn't quite right. A 5% increase in speed makes a huge difference.

[@lastschicker]

I did it in audacity

[@outrajana]

[@smartti1970]

the tape is to slow

[@crone9827]

The pitch shifting on his voice makes this record nearly unlistenable for me. It barely sounds like him.

[@thewindshecriesmary]

lbn667 love the belladonna picture, but this I'm sure is not the fault of the uploader.

[@thereal_dude]

seven years late but here's a more correct sounding upload kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqu2cpmYjb2nhpY

[@musicisbrilliant]

His voice is AWFUL here, what the hell??

[@bhr788]

Pitch shifted poorly by some producer trying to "fix" the home recording, unfortunately.

[@piper888]

Just a demo relax.

[@tonyajohnson7948]

I love it🌻
