As a guitarist for 25 years now, I can honestly say that the timing on the guitar here is genius. To think that he was barely of drinking age when he did it is amazing. I know his story is a sad one - but he achieved a certain immortality. Not sure if thats any consolation to Nick.
His mother Molly's recordings show her great gift on piano. She also had incredible timing and lyrics that can stand alone as poetry. Really Nick's songs seem much like a modern continuation of her music.
He did what he had to do and that was great. Now, to move on early in life is not tragic per se. It only appears so to the untrained and unexperienced materialistic eye. Life is eternal, because the soul is eternal. Sometimes one has only a short episode to go through in one "lifetime."
The overall sound of this recording is how a record should sound. Artists and studios pour so much money, time, technology into creating studio recordings, but it's a rare record that captures anything better than the vibe of a simple live take by a talented musician. It doesn't have to be "perfect" to be _perfect_ .
Nick was very actively involved in the studio arrangements. I know there is this cult of "just Nick and his guitar," but that's not what Nick's vision was. Nick brought in school chum Robert Kirby to compose the string arrangements for Five Leaves Left and Bryter Layter and had to lobby hard because the record company had doubts about student at Uni taking on the task.
@@familycorvette Just Nick and his guitar was very much the vision for Pink Moon. Personally I think it’s the best of the three albums, as you can really hear how talented any singer songwriter is when that’s their only accompaniment. I love listening to others the same way, like Joni Mitchell, John Martyn, James Taylor etc.
Just Nick, his guitar and the family reel to reel recorder. There is a magic to his supposed simplicity...but it reality his uncanny perfect playing , vocal timing and hauntingly thought invoking lyrics and melodic songwriting are about as close to perfection as one human can come.
This might be the best acoustic song ever recorded. This version with just the guitar. Nick had such a far-away quality that nobody else has ever achieved. This influenced me and is still one of the prettiest things I've ever heard.
I love Nick Drake like a long lost brother what an amazing talent what a guitarist and a voice like an angle God bless you brother I’ll see you in heaven one day when I’ll see you sing and play to God and the Angels love you brother
Same here. He's at his best when it's just him and his guitar. I hate that he was convinced to let them do more with production in the studio to try and get him noticed. Thank God he insisted on doing Pink Moon his way before passing. And thank God these demos were later released by his family.
As a nineteen year old, I find it incredibly sad that a young man with so much talent, eloquence and intelligence as Nick could feel that he had helped nobody with his music. I have listened to Bryter Layter almost non stop these past two weeks, his lyrics and guitar grow more and more impressive with time, and brings me so much joy. I played Man in a Shed from his first album on my show on the student radio station at my university, in the hope that if he, somehow, knows that people are still playing his music, that he realises just how much he is appreciated and how much his music does help people, and perhaps that some more people my age could realise what an incredibly talented man we lost far too soon. I just wish I could tell him how much I appreciate his music.
Kit thank you for spreading his music through performing it. fans like us can honor his music, message, and memory and help him gain the recognition he deserves.
Kit , I think in his song "I was born to love magic" you can have an insight by his own point of view on life. As for any Artist it isn't easy to manage Talent And Life.
Kit that is so wonderful to hear. When I was the same age nearly 40 yr ago I tried to do the same. I even spent a summer holiday trying to type up all the lyrics from Bryer Lyter. Keep it up.
The songwriting if off the charts. The vocal is stunning. The guitar is beyond great. To think Drake did all of these at the same time is hard to comprehend.
Wow, just heard this version for the first time! Like he's sitting next to me playing, what a beautiful vision. Nick, I've been in love with you and your music since the 70s but have become even more so in this past year after reading Darker Than the Deepest Sea, and now the "big, yellow bible". I listen constantly now. You are so loved and admired; I hope your spirit knows somehow.
Like Michael Chapman, Nick had a unique talent. I bought their albums as they were released. Nick's songs help me feel that the world isn't that bad after all.
Lots of very well-articulated and eloquent comments on here in recent times, all of which I echo. I first heard the original on the Island sampler album 'Bumpers' back in 1970, and have only heard this version so much more recently - mesmerisingly brilliant!
Do you curse where you come from? Do you swear in the night? Will it mean much to you If I treat you right? Do you like what you’re doing? Would you do it some more? Or will you stop once and wonder What you’re doing it for? Hey slow, Jane, make sense Slow, slow, Jane, cross the fence Do you feel like a remnant Of something that’s past?

I like to see everyone’s comments. It’s nice to know that I’m not alone as to being effected by Nick Drakes music. It’s really quite extraordinary. His ability to touch your soul.
I suppose it's subjective, but I also agree that this is the better version by far. This is stark and beautiful in its simplicity, by contrast the elaborate orchestration of the final version seems out of place.
his songs stands alone!!! they're not "saved" by arrangements (as some critics says in the past). Bryter Layter will be always a masterpiece, orchestra or not
The strings definitely add something special to this song. I really like this raw version. But I also like the studio version. It is possible for alternate versions of the same song to both be good
And You Nick Drake By: P. S. Proctor All these concepts and lines and rhymes All my feelings and misconceptions and times I have wondered how and why I have survived To these estranged and dark places in hell And you Nick Drake perished so young and long ago In such pain in the Sunday rain which I too know so well.

I'm eternally grateful that this version exists. It's a shame that Nick was so pressured to allow the studio to add all of unnecessary production. I can't believe someone in charge of producing that album heard nick play Hazey Jane and decided it needed changing. The song was perfect the way Nick intended.

Thankfully, by Pink Moon, Nick had put his foot down regarding his insistence on keeping the sound close to the style he envisioned when writing it. He was do right.

And that is a travesty. Cause few musicians in the folk music scene could ever come close to Nick. That says a lot considering folk music is played by the best of the best in terms of musical talent. All of this makes me realize how grateful I am that Papa Drake: 1) had all that recording equipment in their home which gave Nick the oppertunity to record himself a lot 2) made a copy of some of Nick's recordings to give to some fans 3) later had those demos professionally re-worked and cleaned up for a compilation album.
Such a well written comment, its so frustrating listening to stuff like river man because the rhythm is so intoxicating but the orchestra just snaps me out of it.
I think you might be completely wrong and projecting from behind those 20:20 hindsight rose glasses. Thought he wanted more studio dollars, loved working with more backing musicians, really hoped BL might be a breakthrough album.

As a guitarist for 25 years now, I can honestly say that the timing on the guitar here is genius. To think that he was barely of drinking age when he did it is amazing. I know his story is a sad one - but he achieved a certain immortality. Not sure if thats any consolation to Nick.
He was a gift.
His mother Molly's recordings show her great gift on piano. She also had incredible timing and lyrics that can stand alone as poetry. Really Nick's songs seem much like a modern continuation of her music.
IT'S ABSOLUTELY STUNNING...I'M NOT A GUITARIST BUT WHEN i HEARD NICK FOR THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN TOTALLY ENRAPTURED BY HIS MAGIC...HE IS MUSIC***
He knew his music was timeless & immortal, listen to his song Fruit Tree.
He did what he had to do and that was great. Now, to move on early in life is not tragic per se. It only appears so to the untrained and unexperienced materialistic eye. Life is eternal, because the soul is eternal. Sometimes one has only a short episode to go through in one "lifetime."
No matter how many times I listen to this song, no matter how many times I play it, it never loses its charm.
I feel exactly the same
The overall sound of this recording is how a record should sound. Artists and studios pour so much money, time, technology into creating studio recordings, but it's a rare record that captures anything better than the vibe of a simple live take by a talented musician.

stupid take
A fucking Men x
god the main melody is so goddam funky but the tone of the whole song is so melancholy and oh man how I love it. Nick Drake is HIGHLY underrated.
Only by those who don't appreciate music or watch TV reality music shows ..... otherwise he's seen as a Genius by most....
Just Nick, his guitar and the family reel to reel recorder. There is a magic to his supposed simplicity...but it reality his uncanny perfect playing , vocal timing and hauntingly thought invoking lyrics and melodic songwriting are about as close to perfection as one human can come.

Thank you so much nick. It's like being hugged by an old friend.
Couldn't have said it better. That's exactly how I felt when I first listened to Pink Moon.
I love Nick Drake like a long lost brother what an amazing talent what a guitarist and a voice like an angle God bless you brother I’ll see you in heaven one day when I’ll see you sing and play to God and the Angels love you brother
hes a legend , we visit his grave several times a year and we are in contact with his Bryter Layter estate
Nick is such a romantic hero...What an amazing talent. He was truly a gift.
First song I ever heard by Nick in 1970, died too young almost unheard by the public. Great that he is now appreciated by a large following
Hearing the guitar so clearly is amazing. His picking style is so unique. Goosebumps!
Who needs production? This is amazing as it stands. Thanks for posting this. Sorry if I'm late to the party.
This is by far my favorite version. So simple. So beautiful.
Same here. He's at his best when it's just him and his guitar. I hate that he was convinced to let them do more with production in the studio to try and get him noticed. Thank God he insisted on doing Pink Moon his way before passing. And thank God these demos were later released by his family.

He's dead, he knows nothing now.
@@garrywindshield1 Cool opinion, but nobody knows what happens when we die. Stay classy tho 😘
The songwriting if off the charts. The vocal is stunning. The guitar is beyond great. To think Drake did all of these at the same time is hard to comprehend.
I first heard Nick twenty years ago and felt a loss already that I had already missed so much.
Tears in my eyes....
You don't 'replace' a phenomenon like Nick Drake - you just hang on to what's left, and experience it...
Whats left? He recorded like 5 albums worth of material before the age of 26. Pretty good actually
@@subsamadhi More like 3 albums. But it’s quality that matters, not quantity
The sad reality of it all
7 years on,...( I Do not you tube ) but your still very ( on - trend ) man
Could listen to this a million times and never get tired of it. It's so good.
I can't get the melody out of my mind,,, it literary became the soundtrack of my life... What a beautiful and inspiring piece....
Same
Ditto ❤
Its like a rose unfolding on crisp cool mountain stream
This song astounds me every time I hear it.
Wow, just heard this version for the first time! Like he's sitting next to me playing, what a beautiful vision.

Love how he sings 'do you feel like a remnant?' 1:46
Just learned of Nick and his music ...can't stop...🎧 🌸
Like Michael Chapman, Nick had a unique talent. I bought their albums as they were released. Nick's songs help me feel that the world isn't that bad after all.
The life was a shambling slide into brokenness. The art is proud and perfect, and grows stronger every day.
This is magic and it gives me Goosebumps.

Do you curse where you come from?
Do you swear in the night?
Will it mean much to you
If I treat you right?
Do you like what you’re doing?
Would you do it some more?
Or will you stop once and wonder
What you’re doing it for?
Hey slow, Jane, make sense
Slow, slow, Jane, cross the fence
Do you feel like a remnant
Of something that’s past?
Do you find things are moving
Just a little too fast?
Do you hope to find new ways
Of quenching your thirst?
Do you hope to find new ways of doing
Better than your worst?
Hey slow, Jane, let me prove
Slow, slow, Jane, we’re on the move
Do it for you
Sure that you would do the same for me one day
So try to be true
Even if it’s only in your hazey way
Can you tell if you’re moving
With no mirror to see?
If you’re just riding a new man
Looks a little like me?
Is it all so confusing?
Is it hard to believe?
When the winter is coming can you
Sign up and leave
Hey slow, Jane, clear your eye
Slow, slow, Jane, fly on by
These are the official lyrics of his studio album, not of this version
This song is deeply interwoven into the frail tapestry of my mind.
It is far stronger than my Citlopram.
the melody matchs the lyrics and the lyric his feelings: that´s genius in Nick Drake.
one of the best things I have ever heard. Simply Nick Drake, can't get any better!

never knew this version existed, stunned!
This is the best version by far.
God I love his playing so much.
....Has anyone seen where my jaw dropped?
I’d love to hear the first two records fan-made using merely these acoustic demos for each song. If only all of them existed
work of art
Speechless!
Simply beautiful.
I like to see everyone’s comments. It’s nice to know that I’m not alone as to being effected by Nick Drakes music. It’s really quite extraordinary. His ability to touch your soul.

Wish I could find this recording on a compilation somewhere. So perfect. Thanks for uploading!!

And You Nick Drake
By: P. S. Proctor
All these concepts and lines and rhymes
All my feelings and misconceptions and times
I have wondered how and why I have survived
To these estranged and dark places in hell
And you Nick Drake perished so young and long ago
In such pain in the Sunday rain which I too know so well.
The lines at the end of the second and third verses being swapped here is much more quietly devastating than the proper recorded version.
A timeless song
Visions come to prepared spirits...don't you also feel that sentiment when you listen? I'm sure he did.
lazy Saturday morning just listening to one of the best😊
Light a candle Tomorrow 19 th june ...say a prayer foR LOVE LIGHT AND FREEDOM TRUTH AND BEAUTY ...for his birthday...for his Amazing precious Gift of Love...Magic***
That's magic.
Beautiful...
Beautiful
Bliss, utterly tracendental
I can't believe that people don't listen to this....such a shame-for those people.
Amazing, amazing, amazing. There used to be an electric version on here somewhere but i think it got taken down a few years ago. Now that was spine tingling......
How do you play a guitar like that ? Pure talent I guess !
Listen to his recording with 1.1 speed. You can do it in the speed option with the button on top. I think that was the original speed, but I could be wrong.
* speechless *
goose bumps...
Bryter layter would be so nice whithout those metals and percusions, just like the first album, our less like pink moon
Lets sing a song for Nicky Drake. He's back again in our minds
He never left
Fantastic uniqe from a gitarist point of view, N Drake is fantastic

Listening to this demo I like it a lot but This is one of the few songs of his where I think the orchestration on the album really helps bring the song to fullness - on the others it kind of messes them up - I like this demo but it sort of lacks the colour of the album version .

The man pushes the other man in a wheelchair
Down a dreary Salford road, avoiding kerbs, talking
Always talking, talking of nothing, talking of everything,
What it takes and never gives back. The load.
With wheels of fire and halos running all amuck
These two desperados meander along past
The pound shops and the bookies and the booze 24/7ers
They know all these places very well. Too well.
Dave pushes Jim through the kebab litter
Outside Hope’s old A & E, past the smokers,
Through the entrance, towards the woman,
They’ve come to see. Their mother.
