Wonderful job ! First time I listen to a Nick Drake's cover played with a piano ! Beautiful ! And nice singing !

[@Sadlittleatticboy]

Thanks so much! I like to try and reinvent songs for the piano that weren't really written for it (plus then i can't be compared to the original too closely!!)

[@shaunhelman4043]

Outstanding mate. I love this song and although it is really quite ‘slow and sad’ to start with, your version adds something for sure. Thanks for doing some Nick Drake!

[@Sadlittleatticboy]

You are very welcome! So glad you liked it!

great taste. congrats!

[@Sadlittleatticboy]

Thankyou! Who can possibly not appreciate Nick Drake though!

[@grahamberrie2462]

I'm interested in what you call yourself. I'm guessing that previous experience has brought forth the sensitivity shown in this song. I suffered terribly as a kid and for decades the music of Nick Drake affected me in so many ways, this was amazing.

[@Sadlittleatticboy]

Hey, Thank you for the comment, I'm very happy you liked it. Honestly, the name came from the position I found myself in at the start of the pandemic. Like many, housebound, business shut down, lonely....I decided to concentrate on music for the first time in ages, in the attic. I found I spent so much time up there and after a while just started to record some ideas of covers of some of my favourite songs. I just came up with the name because that is exactly how i felt. It was like I had been shut in the attic by the virus/government against my will, like a naughty boy! But, I'm glad something came out of it at least. Nick Drake has always been such a cathartic sound for me, so calming. I'm glad it helped you through bad times, I can see how it would. 🙏

[@JGMusic]

Sounds beautiful man! I would really love to hear you make a cover of The Fray - How to Save a Life I just feel that the song would fit your voice good! :)

[@Sadlittleatticboy]

Oh, interesting. I will have a listen and see if I can make it work. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@domkelly1972]

i am learning the piano and this is the kind of sound i want to create. so smooth and rich but also full of character. did you just improvise or did you write it down. i have trying to watch which notes you hit for the rythm but its hard to see it.. brilliant cover and played so well. full of feeling. thanks...

[@Sadlittleatticboy]

Hey there. Thanks so much for the lovely comment. I can't really read or write music so it is all done by ear. It's fairly hard to explain how I do exactly what I do! I do have a tutorials channel (although I'm finding it hard to find time to make videos at the moment) and this might be one of the songs i cover soon. Give it a look if you want and see if it's at all helpful, and I'll do my best to try and include this song soon. Thanks again! 🙏 kzbin.info/door/TwMUR2H2Femr6b9QZSBFQg

@@Sadlittleatticboy thanks for the response... no problem , i dont read it either was just hoping for some kind of key tab. i understand that it cant really be explained that way .. i will do the best i can watching the video. i have some of it and just need to practice. but the subtlety of your play is extremely good. i hope you cover this song in a future video but i understand this is a very high level of skill to play. thanks again for sharing this cover. its the best i have seen.. its on my favourites and i just listen to it regrdless of practice. now that things are better in terms of travel... would you perform live? we have events here at a tennis club in southern spain and i am thinking maybe if you want to get out of the attic? my freind is a pro pianist and does fun events here . very informal. good fun. if you need a holiday let me know.
