Nick Drake - Place to Be | Reaction!

[@e.nowbodhi144]

the bigness of the voice and guitar, and the unparalleled intimacy of the recording, is all about the great John Wood

[@bmxmyth166]

John Wood actually mentioned somewhere (I can’t remember where exactly, but it was in an interview of his I had read) that he had nothing to do with the unique qualities often attributed to Nick Drake’s sound. Continuing his innovative production methods, he said that hundreds of up and coming musicians came to him, asking to make their overall sound sound as Nick’s did (Warm guitar tone, intimacy, open sound etc.). He mentioned that they would always leave disappointed, adding that Nick sounded the same live as he did on the recordings, and that his original sound was solely the result of how he played the guitar. I think his words really substantiate just how phenomenal Nick Drake was on the guitar.

Nick Drake has such a earthy voice , lovely just lovely cheers nicks

[@swordfish_9960]

Never disappointed by Nick 😂 (Drake/insignificant). the 3 albums are masterpieces. full of gems in it.

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

That beautiful, slightly mournful voice. That unique guitar style. The masterful song writing. Add them all together and you have Nick Drake. I think he was ahead of his time. I think if he had come along a few decades later, he could have been a huge star.

Great great track, brilliant lyrics, what more can you want.

There are theories his love songs are about french singer Françoise Hardy whom he visited in Paris and they had a friendship (as much as they could since she didn't speak english and he didn't speak french) and at the time she was one of the only ones encouraging him and speaking about his music whenever she could in interviews. She spoke very highly of him in her memoirs and said how sad she was when she heard through his parents that he had commited suicide. Musically they share the same quiet sensibility. Morrissey loves one of her english songs called "All over the world" that was a minor hit in the UK, a very sweet and melancholy 60's song, I think Nick loved it too. Maybe you should try it?

Hi Nick, love your channel. I've been following since the lockdown days. Keep it up! Also you're right, there are no bad Nick Drake songs.

[@daviddring2365]

[@InsignificantNick]

UNBELIEVABLE!

With today's technology they could have done wonders for the wonderful nick drake.theres an honesty to nick that resonates.

Can you do cocteau twins “how to bring a blush to the snow”? It’s such a beautiful song!!! Please?? Lol 😝

[@garethgriffiths1674]

Fascinating, as ever! As you imply, Nick, Nick Drake doesn't seem to sound like anyone else. For me, I had a "reverse" situation. As a student I was a huge admirer of John Martyn (a contemporary of Drake's and again, just a man with his acoustic guitar). It seemed that Martyn sounded like noone else. But then a friend recommended that I listen to Nick Drake! Wow! Similar but also unique! If you have the chance to listen to John Martyn, I would recommend starting with Solid Air, off the album of the same name.

[@Llydrwydd]

And I'm sure you're aware 'Solid Air' was dedicated to Nick as they were very good friends. Both were unique artistes. Never saw Nick unfortunately (there can't be many that did) but was lucky enough to see Martyn perform in the 80s.

[@sarahdlp524]

@@Llydrwydd the last thing Nick said to John Martyn was "You are devious, John"

[@Llydrwydd]

@@sarahdlp524 I never knew that. I trust it was said in a light hearted way.

[@sarahdlp524]

@@Llydrwydd sadly no, talented people tend to be complicated and JM was abusive. After saying "you are devious" he turned to JM wife Bev and said "don't you think he is devious?" of course she was too afraid to say anything. When JM heard Nick Drake had died, he laughed (which could have been a stress reaction).

Hey Nick, I’d love to see you react to Temptation by The Everly Brothers! It’s soooo gooood❤️

[@InsignificantNick]

Oooh, the Everly Brothers are a good recommendation!

[@caracolalface6310]

​@@InsignificantNickBeirut,the tallest man on earth,and andrew bird are some bands and musicians i think you would like, if you don't react to them just listen on your free time my good friend

You should take a look at tracks from five leafs left. By far my favourite album, and from a time he was more happier. Moon is a very dark album
