Parasite - Nick Drake (Cover)

[@4mayZing]

I've been watching this video for like 10 years and it still amazes me to this day

[@lolalopez5391]

The best cover that i've ever watched of Nick Drake

[@charleshern6958]

He kinda looks like him too

[@jodymcdougle8810]

What song???

[@paulryan2128]

​@@jodymcdougle8810 I think he means this song... no?! Parasite.

[@mussie302]

Back here 10 years on, Tobias, and still magic! 😊

[@TheMoon12390]

King of nick drake covers.

[@fogobrando]

I've reach a point where I simply hit "like" before even watching your videos. And I know I'm not going to regret doing that. Your perfomance covering Nick Drake is astonishing. Congratulations from Brazil!

[@blaumausfrau]

yeah I second that. You feel the Drake Feel. Many have tried and come up short but you "GET IT"...

[@gauravjoshi7011]

You have the voice and the vibe close to Nick.

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

@hurlockbros Thank you for stopping by! I'm glad you liked it. I appreciate the kind words! It's played in CGCFCE

[@mongoose707tt]

I've always thought of Nick Drake's music to be sacred ground, a line that really shouldn't be crossed. The way you have approached Nick's music is absolutely flawless, sheer perfection. You have treated it with the utmost respect. I think what Julie said was really cool and I have to agree, "You need to see yourself through our eyes". I guess it's possible to not know how good you really are, like being in the eye of the hurricane. Take care Tobias.... Thanks!!!

[@ripdopadipidydo36]

You look and have the same demeanor as one of my really good friends that passed away. I always return to your videos because you remind me of him. Keep up the good work.

[@dominicgunshenan9091]

Yes, definately channelling Nick Drake...WOW

[@OrbvsTomarvm]

Didn't mind at all, infact your voice MORE than makes up for 'any' imperfections. I've found your vocals to be the closest yet to Nicks, especially in that 'ethereal' Nick Drake sense. It really is beautiful. I would love to hear a studio version of it with an absolutely perfect, very expensive reverb on the vocals and guitar. It would be heaven.

[@johnhornung8902]

Wow cant believe this video has been out for 9 years and im just seeing it now but this is amazing

[@michaeldera4298]

If there was a heaven meaning nick was watching down on you respecting his formidable talent using your formidable talent .

[@skerrkro2952]

You are skilled. This was very enjoyable

[@georgeorr1042]

Your Nick Drake covers are excellent. Guitar is damn good. Now, if your ever write something like this, then we will have to call you genius :) Great job

[@stellarsuun]

Wow you're voice is so calm and beautiful, you take so much the essence of Nick Drake. Thanks so much

[@melaniewillard4795]

You should sing more. You are adorable. We used to go see an acoustic guitarist locally, but they moved and I believe he quit music. A shame. They played Southern American blues mostly. I enjoy watching the hands of classical guitar. Smiles, from Alabama USA.

[@bobdylanlovr69]

Learning this right now it’s a toughy. Great rendition. I think it’s the only cover on KZbin to have the bass line correct and it’s one of the oldest covers up here

[@BluetonicUK28]

Was not expecting this to be so good. Awesome

[@frankball8378]

Wonderful, that's very great man! congrats 👍👍👍

[@dakotapetrie1517]

Your rock man, what a well done cover, the tone and recording sound great

[@nicoleipad7016]

Amazing

[@mediocrefunkybeat]

I have been trying to play this fluently for years, on and off. To see it performed with such mastery with the fantastic vocals is a great pleasure. Your ability and talent should be cherished - you are something very special.

[@BruceColon-BSides]

Excellent. The spirit is there.

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

Thank you for the kind comments! I'm really glad you like my renditions.

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

@mongoose707tt Thank you for your kind words :) I really appreciate that you shared your thoughts and I'm glad you liked my renditions. It means a lot reading such compliments! Keeps me going, knowing that some enjoy my way of keeping Nicks music alive and paying tribute to his work.

[@lynrajahmusician]

Sounds beautiful.

[@jinglemeow]

OM MY LORD, HE IS THE ONLY PERSON TO SING LIKE HIM

[@ColeSpivey]

Vocally you are right on.

[@hoezai1]

this is unbelievable

[@natew.8459]

Well done.

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

Thank you for the feedback and the kind words. I'm really glad you like the sound. It's really just an old Zoom H2 that I run through Garageband on an equally old Macbook. I'm surprised that I still get decent results with it. All the editing/processing is software based. I make a few mixing adjustments, but nothing complex. Again, I appreciate the input. I can't always assess the final sound quality well.

[@francescopaolocoletti]

I love this Song. And you make It wonderful! Great! You are like Drake ❤

[@TheAlfsterino]

Wow, amazingly accurate vocals...Nick's lyrics always sound better with 'his voice' as it was like another layer to the whole song and your vocals are in no way an 'impression' but an accurate representation of the song. Beautiful...

[@gabyvansant4533]

How Sweet. You hope I don't mind?! You're too kind!

[@TheMoon12390]

It's so good i commented twice.

[@buniluvr]

Hi Tobias, Absolutely brilliant performance. Genuine and soulful. You need to see yourself through our eyes :) cheers, julie

[@simongifford1863]

Hi tobias That's ok I understand. I really enjoyed listening to your covers.

[@eeclarkutube]

Sounds great

[@elrod1240]

My Friend You -R-GIFTED,Glad to See you tap into ththe SPIRIT OF NICK DRAKE It would meen so much if you Do Things Behind The Sun, You are the closes to nick i have heard god bless you for taping into that beautiful Soul, stay kooool and keep playing.

[@wilmeramadoraguilar47]

Is this the closest we'll ever get to a live Nick performance?

[@eismann881]

pretty sure :)

[@FabienMoineExuvie]

Props from France! Very good play... :) A little bit to speed for me but this is excellent!

[@hump3]

Good job, finally someone on youtube with the correct finger picking pattern. Too many half-arsed efforts out there that don't do this rich melody justice!

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

@TubaGirl01 Thank you! :) That is nice to read. I'm glad you think so. I really appreciate your comments.

[@micaelajackson5989]

I found you and that makes me happy. Thank you.

Loooooove this brother. 🤜

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

@Briancfb I'm glad you liked it :) Thank you for leaving a comment. Much appreciated

[@musiquesansfin]

I really admire everything about these videos. Your musicianship, your natural talent, your obvious love of Nick Drake. Plus, your fingernails are absolutely fantastic. The feeling of the phrase "feeling dooowwwn like him" makes my knees weak every time. Thanks for recording these!

[@mussie302]

I don't think I've seen your version of this song before now, but it is superb. You captured the sound and the feel so well.

[@pierreisthebest]

Great job! All of Nick Drake's songs are incredibly beautiful...

[@brainsea_]

[@chillshark8241]

His nails are guitar picks

[@nickparsons337]

Yep. That's a little thing better known as: "dedication."

[@armin_tab]

If you could please make a cover of Things Behind the Sun, I would really appreciate it.

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

[@ColeSpivey]

Die your hair black and you could play Nick Drake in a film one day. Very similar voice quality. Great work.

[@havalinachiel7694]

becoming a master , I see ( show them how to live as well :P )

[@jacobdoak5322]

This is beautiful.

[@unnamedpeople7255]

jonas kahnwald traveling through times to cover this song, just amazing

[@singerfromhell666]

Thanks! its my fav Nick Drake song! now i can see how its payed.

[@eusouumburritovoador]

i think i'm in love.

[@TubaGirl01]

I've been waiting for you to cover this! Fantastic. I listened to Bookends Theme as well, you really caught the mood of the song.

[@titgriffin1512]

I wanted to ask what that red and black picture was to the right. It looks dope af

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

It's a traditional weaving / tapestry from Mexico. But not sure about the meaning of the pattern etc. myself. Sadly, I think it got lost when I moved one time.

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

@elluised Thank you for stopping by :) I'm really glad you liked my attempt

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

@llawfhionn Thank you for listening! I'm glad you think so. Too kind.

[@wildwitchwoman46]

AS usual mind blowing - really beautiful - Thank u so much

[@LovelyCuddly]

As usual, nice guitar playing! It's absolutely beautiful!

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

Thank you for stopping by! That is really kind of you to say. I'm glad you like my rendition of the song.

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

@rlouie Thanks! I appreciate that you stopped by :)

[@dozens-of-cousins]

this is perfect

[@themachinist1000]

Fantastic work on this tune!

[@elluised]

thats really nice. I have been watching your channel and I felt your parasite cover missing

[@e1337air]

very well done!

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

@fransgreg Thank you :) I'm glad you think so. Too kind.

[@mattdorst2572]

Very well done sir.

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

Matt Dorst I'm glad you like it. Thank you.

[@hashtagsareuseless]

Cool shit, dudeski!

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

I'm glad you enjoy my rendition. I played it in CGCFCE

[@heartsandhuntingcaps]

this is fantastic, thank you for uploading!

[@aprave]

Oh man, I just started learning the guitar. And I'm so overwhelmed by this. Mind if I ask how long it took you to get this far?

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

At that point, i was playing for about 2 years. It was overwhelming for me, too. I took it step by step and worked through it with a lot of listening or visually through other videos. I can only recommend gradually learning with songs you enjoy and connect with, from strumming and rhythm to finger coordination and picking. There are tabs for Nick's songs on nickdraketabs.co.uk and by now there should be quite a few tutorials here on KZbin if you want to attempt it right away.

[@justafrend9016]

Tobias Wilden : Ty! Just amazing! You played my favorite song of his so wonderful! Im waiting for someone to do a gritty house remix of this before the things behind the sun, who won the earth show up in the pink moon to take their ignorant right without saying thanks to the parasite. Much love!

[@taylorpelletier89]

Tobias Wilden wait... You'd only been playing guitar for 2 years and could do this? I've been playing 13 years and wouldn't even be close. And I'd consider myself decent ha Bravo, man!

[@nicholas72611]

Lol I've been playing 7 years and you're so much better than me fml

[@lordjagged8625]

I suppose it's a matter of perseverance at first and dedication..Like anything you will get better with time. Parasite is not difficult to play in comparison with Nick's other material....stick at it! Whether you can sing as well as Tobias is another thing altogether....

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

I can't really say exactly, I'm sorry. It's been a while since I played it, too. I hope you don't mind. Thank you for listening though!

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

@LovelyCuddly Thank you :) That is kind of you to say. I really appreciate it.

[@hoezai1]

welcome back nick drake

[@tobiaswildenmusic]

@dykooks Thanks! I'm glad you liked it :)
