Place To Be- Nick Drake (Josiah David Swim)

[@wh33lers]

Enjoyed the listen.

[@josiahdavidswim]

Thanks mate

[@TimMeyerMusic]

Beautiful reincarnation of this lovely poem set to music……so very nice to hear more of ND songs being played today. Timeless.

[@josiahdavidswim]

It’s absolutely a joy to play. This song in particular is one I always feel compelled to sing when I first pick up the guitar.

[@TimMeyerMusic]

The right hand rhythms are complex to me anyway……..I’m tempted to attempt Things Behind the Sun but you play it first.

[@paco1015]

What a beautiful rendition of Nick Drakes work. He was an artist gone too early, but this cover should compel others to seek out his work. Thanks for this gift.

[@josiahdavidswim]

Thanks Paco! I couldn’t agree more

[@imbrijago]

Beautiful interpretation; thanks for sharing!

[@josiahdavidswim]

Thanks for watching. I’m glad you appreciated it

[@mwj5368]

Wow I was hoping I'd find someone creating their own picking version. I like strumming but I lean toward liking picking the most and great voice too with a beautiful mellow tone. Thanks for sharing your world class talent!

[@josiahdavidswim]

Thanks! I was hoping I’d find someone creating their own too but ended up just having to take it on from scratch, haha! George Boomsma also has a great version you should check out. He plays it differently but it’s also finger style

[@chuckaddison]

This is freaking amazing!!!!!! Nice work!!!!

[@josiahdavidswim]

Thank you so much!!

[@alexanderfo3886]

A marvelous interpretation of Nick Drake's probably most beautiful song, and one of the most wonderful songs ever to be composed for voice and guitar.

[@josiahdavidswim]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@pricenorthcutt4848]

Beautiful fingerpicking, smooth voice, and an excellent interpretation.

[@josiahdavidswim]

[@josiahdavidswim]

Thanks mate 🙏🏼

[@ENGABU1]

Ah just magic. A fan for more than 40 years even visited his village and resting place in the past. Love from Ireland

[@josiahdavidswim]

Thanks Gerry! And Ireland is one of my favourite places in the world. I hope to make it back there soon

Thanks for listening!

[@Gauri-1278]

Great cover brother 👍

[@josiahdavidswim]

Thanks!

[@vickyveryno]

🥰

[@gillesserrigny6324]

Very sensitive version and tribute to Nick Drake, l like your beautiful and fragile voice. The guitar part is a little slowly than the original. Interesting utilisation of fingerstyle, Nick Drake was using strumming on Place to Be. It was not so common for him. You play on a Guild. I like this brand (Even, l feel that Nick Drake has never played on a Guild M20 on his albums). What model do you use ?

[@josiahdavidswim]

Thanks for listening! I’m playing a 1978 guild d-40

[@dba00]

There's the home recording version which is quite similar to this with finger style picking.

[@billhdowne2382]

Apart from all the weepy attempts to cover Nick, I think you youve done an amazing job. Persevere 👍

[@karengrosh3806]

Would you consider playing Cat Stevens?

[@josiahdavidswim]

Absolutely! Tea for the Tillerman is one of my favourite albums… if you’re subscribed to my channel keep an eye out and I’ll try to get a cover together in the next few weeks.

[@karengrosh3806]

@@josiahdavidswim my favorite Cat Stevens also. His voice can soft and measured, yet impassioned in the same song.Especially in Blackbird I seemed to notice the potential. Oh, covering Elliott

[@freeatlast1963]

Exquisite finger picking .....
