Nick Drake - Milk & Honey

[@jortreitsma2982]

Fantastic cover of Jackson C Frank... A man who deserves a lot more credit and fame for his work. An absolute genius. Any Nick Drake fan should check out his work.

[@Harry-qm1hf]

Thankyou very much for this information. You never know until someone tells you.

[@adonaiyah2196]

Apparently frank was so traumatised and mentally exhausted by all of life's trauma someone is quoted as saying 'he belonged in a psychiatrists chair'

[@chuck7916]

Brothers from a different mother!

[@Luis674t]

Fantastic cover of Sandy Denny then. The more impressive version

[@Yawnyaman]

@@Luis674tDid you know that Jackson C and Sandy Denny were for a while an item?

[@futuropasado]

Nick is one of my favorite artists. I discovered that Jackson C Frank was one of his biggest influences, and in this song is very clear, the melancholic tone, the drag, the pace, mystery... What a forgotten genius Jackson was, every folk lover should check him out.

[@adonaiyah2196]

The main riff and the first few words have circled around my gead despite me having only listened to it a couple times in 2017

[@wygakyl]

I love his galloping rythmic picking, with that haunting bent note, and removed vocal.....other worldly....

[@maddayoutmusic5124]

❤

[@theOUCHcollective]

No matter how bad I feel, no matter how dark it gets... I just love Nick's stuff. He brings me great joy.

[@debracarriere9051]

Jackson C. Frank's original work.

[@MsBee777]

there is no such thing as time and space when I listen to this....the quality of the recording adds an interesting ambiance to this lovely song....

[@wygakyl]

+Be Love It seems as if it's recorded from a reel to reel tape, with a track bleeding through from the other side, or a previous recording...it sure is far-out!

[@DillonColtMusic]

Agreed. The ambiance is kinda haunting.

[@adonaiyah2196]

@@DillonColtMusic his zinc strings are very dead apparently

[@DiodeMcRoy]

The bends and hammer on sounds awesome. Is this the tape distorting it or his guitar ? Never heard something like this before

[@marbleblue5127]

There is a clear and clean recording of this, but this one with ghostly music bleeding through from the other side of the magnetic tape was the first recording I heard and still captures something timeless to me.

I too have to say that Jackson C. Frank, hit me so much harder when I first heard, not in anyway saying I prefer any version, but it is Jackson's song.

[@xtwi1ightx12]

His voice is so soothing that it puts me to sleep. But, like, in a good way.

[@matthalbmaier6113]

"Gold and silver is the autumn Soft and tender are her skies Yes and no are the answers Written in my true love's eyes Autumn's leaving and winter's coming I think that I'll be moving along I've got to leave her and find another I've got to sing my heart's true song Round and round the burning circle All the seasons: one, two, and three Autumn leaves and then there winter Spring is born and wanders free Gold and silver burns my autumns All too soon they'd fade and die And then I'd know, there'd be no others Milk and honey were their lies" - Music and Lyrics by Jackson C Frank -

He always brings light into my darkest days

[@oriontsehai3570]

The first time I heard this song was when I was trying to study for an exam the next day. When I listened to the soft guitar along with that enchanting voice I immediately drop my books and just start to listen. I repeated it for like five times. It is such an interesting and amazing song which moves my soul. I appreciate Nick Drake, but I have been reading from the web that the original song was Jackson Frank's.

[@ThePacnot1]

One of the very few artists that could pull off a Jackson C Frank cover and do a fantastic job

[@astridvvv9662]

Omg I never knew Nick covered this. He got me into Jackson C Frank from another cover and I loved him immediately. This song especially. And now I found this cover.

[@PolarChimes]

Nick and Molly's songs as well as their takes on other's songs strike me as being so intuitive, free from contrivance. I think this is part of why I love their music so much. It rings forth like something largely unmediated by musical convention, from the heart of people who can't help but sing. They do it because they love it and it's what they do naturally.

[@FleshLessOne]

Jackson & Nick are two of my All time faves. Without them I don't know where I'd be in this place called Life. Thank you both for sharing w/ us your music.

[@SnickersInTheBarn]

This probably sounds corny, but I'm posting it anyway. When I was little and my parents would come back home from their trips to Ethiopia they'd bring back these Milk and Honey cookies. They were absolutely delicious. So, I'd go out into my (massive) backyard when my dad hadn't mowed the lawn for a while and sit there with my cookies and watch the clouds while eating. That's what the song reminds me of. :)

[@michaelistoma8356]

Man, that's not corny at all. The world holds on stories and feelings like this.

[@mixerD1-]

You are correct

[@maddayoutmusic5124]

[@glynna0071]

Ahh, Nick...you left us far too early....your gorgeous voice and face and incredibly beautiful, haunting music just takes me away.....peace to you forever....thank you for being your gorgeous self.....

[@MsBee777]

I love the ambiance of this song....

[@janparadowski4894]

Remember guys, if you feel bad about anything do not forget that we live in a timeline where Nick Drak covered Jackson C. Frank. May their beautiful souls rest in well deserved peace.

[@MetaphorestMusic]

Stunning...Great to see Jackson's music remembered.

[@pashedmotatos]

This sounds kind of haunting. These melodies give me an eerie otherworldly feel. I don't know if any one else listening feels what I feel. It may be hard to explain, but this song makes life dream-like, or makes life seem unreal. It takes me back to the first memories of when I was a kid. It kind of makes you disillusioned with modern society and want to question life. It has a very deep and existential atmosphere.

What a treasure. I love Nick and I love this song. I first heard it done by Sandy Denny, whose version is remarkable also.🎶🎶💜☮🌞🌈

[@debracarriere9051]

Sandy dated the author of this work, Jackson C. Frank, so check that out! He's remarkable.

[@davelister]

Love ya Nick, let's be friends. The mystery over your death ... did you mean it? Doesn't matter any more - your music is still with us. Thank you for what you did for us while you were with us.

Agree and Nick Drake's cover has a different beauty from the original song which is also great.

[@Ronald9922]

The original was actually written by Jackson C. Frank, and can be found on the only album he ever released called The Blues run the Game. It's a really powerful version, but this more mellow drake version suits the song nice to....

[@Valness11]

i think this is most likely his best....goosebumps...

@beccaleccahimecca I don't think a cover can ever be as good as the original. Jackson C. Frank's is the best, because he wrote it. However, I do love Nick Drake's cover and feel he did justice to this classic song.

[@baygujreyiz]

[@Aleesh123]

[@lyndraski4152]

I don't know where to do it, so I'll just say it here. I'd like to give a shout-out to the person or persons who edited the "Blue" video. Really well done, fit the song perfectly and was very touching. Very moving.

[@kilmoturtles1]

I would like to say that this song was created by Jackson C. Frank. A lot of the stories that are attributed to Nick Drake are really Jackson C frank stories. He was the man that was way too shy to play in front of anybody, so he would ask that people not look at him. Also, I personally do not believe Drake tried to commit suicide, he was trying to take enough anit-depression medication to fell "better".. his intent was not to kill himself

[@joshmichaels1435]

I've heard plenty of interviews with Nick's family saying that he was much too shy to play in front of others.

[@lanabanana68]

that's right,he WAS.Also,he definitely DID suicide,you don't take that much medication accidentally.

[@lanabanana68]

wrong on both counts; Nick was a person who would turn his back on his audience whilst tuning his guitar strings and not speak with them.My personal belief is that he suffered from,among other things,Asperger's syndrome (he had all the hallmarks)....and he did intend to take his own life;his sister Gabriel disputed it for years but finally came around to the view that he did take his own life out of weary frustration of living feeling the way he did (which was no doubt exhausting)...nobody takes that amount of pills "by mistake"

[@kilmoturtles1]

kate davenporty Well, the second part of my response is definitely debatable, but the first part on who originally created this song is definitely not.

[@strongstrummin4078]

+Timo Canto ok cool

[@captaingoatbeard7]

@thrillseeker70 I'm not sure, but it may be on the Family Tree collection. There are a lot of demo's and home recordings on it.

[@minty2733]

Nick Drake is better than Drake

[@alanwhiteee9576]

Niamh agreed

[@jmmacb03]

Didn't realize that this is a cover of Jackson C. Frank's "Milk and Honey" (though it is mentioned above.)

[@snufkin789]

nick admired jackson c. frank and got many inspirations from his work; they may have had similarities too in their way of seeing the world and their feelings
