My dad played Nick Drake constantly when I was a child. He is absolutely unequivocally the soundtrack of my childhood. These songs amplify my already crippling feelings of desperate nostalgia. I wish I could go back to those years, in my childhood home, and relive it all.
How old are you? My daughter is 12, and from 4-9 she had to have Pink Moon on to sleep. At about 9 she started going to sleep playing a video titled Essential Nick Drake every night. She gets on my damn nerves (haha) but damn that kid has great taste in music. I bought her the record recently for her birthday (Pink Moon).
@@TehOneTrewIdjut you've got a cool kid with an old soul I think! I am 30 now, so I started listening to Nick Drake in the early nineties. I just got engaged a couple of days ago and I think I am going to have my father-daughter dance with my dad to a Nick Drake song at my wedding :)
Lyrics: Why leave me hanging on a star When you deem me so high When you deem me so high When you deem me so high And why leave me sailing in a sea When you hear me so clear When you hear me so clear When you hear me so clear And why leave me hanging on a star When you deem me so high When you deem me so high When you deem me so high
Nick spent countless hours in seclusion perfecting his guitar parts ,lyrics and vocals for his compositions.That is what is required to build anything of meaning artistically. He gave everything of himself in this song and it shows. He left us many amazing songs in his short life. Long live Nick Drake!
+R'onnberry Chadnickle I love both, but I also think they are both pretty different in a lot of ways that I can see how a huge Nick Drake fan could possibly not like Elliott Smith. I have to also say The Smashing Pumpkins "Adore" album comes close to hitting me on the same emotional level as Nick Drake and Elliott Smith. That album especially towards the end is some of the most beautiful emotional music I have ever heard.
+SoySauce HairDye billy corgi is an asshole, fuck him. For me I'd say sparklehorse or songs: Ohia come close. I think it's the desperation of not wanting to be alive
R'onnberry Chadnickle the smashing pumpkins album that emotionally gets to me is Adore. I lost both of my parents to cancer and that album really helped me, because Corgan wrote it right after his mom died. The notable songs on that album that easily make me cry are "Once Upon a Time," "Shame," "Behold! The Nightmare," "For Martha," and "Blank Page." It is the most underrated pumpkins album, but also an album I can only listen to when I am in a certain mood.
The first time I heard his music i was around his age when he died and I was captured by something I resonated with very deeply, a melancholy yes but a sweetness or a poetry that transcended the mundane. That strange aching in one's soul you could never define that made the pain of searching that much more unrequited. Or like there was magic in the moonlight you could never grasp hold of. Feels like everything is just out of reach but you still try for not trying is not an option, Then to learn he died so shy and self doubting and yet at this level of brilliance of expressing the intangible. It is painful to know that he died not knowing how beautiful he expresses his feelings and music and how many it still touches. I have shared his music with a few special people I know will get it, and they too are moved by it. Maybe my interpretation is bull shit to some and it's just my takeaway, but I'll never forget what It meant for me and my own art.
@@sallyduros Thank you Sally. I suppose all we really want in this life is to be heard. even for a moment,, To be recognized for being here.. even if its so fleeting. And maybe to convey a feeling or idea or experience we have had to someone else... I read once about Vincent van Gogh. after listening to Don McLean song starry night. (another favorite and very melancholia) I just happen to be siting in a park reading a book i happened to find in an old book store right across from the park about Vincent van Gogh that in order to describe the scene he was witnessing in a park at dusk with the lights glowing on the street ,, he decided he should just draw the scene in a letter...his brother was so taken with the drawing he told him he should paint. I was drawn to his story myself sitting and reading about it in that NYC park one night watching the lights flicker on as it got later and too my eyes adjusting in a hazy way. And there i found myself experiencing this serendipitous beautiful moment with no one to share it with when an old friend called and i tried to tell them about it and they just prattled on about some drama in their life. And with all that ..I'm just saying thank you for noticing as well. I also noticed the old radio on one of your posted uploads of 4 years ago in a book store,, I happen to have that exact same radio. and a cat!
@@sallyduros By the way i did console my friend that night instead.. so i don't sound to self centered..LOL. Oh and i only noticed the book store thing you had up until after i wrote my response to you ...fascinating how there are all these parallels if you notice them. makes me think its just that certain types resonate similarly with certain things... cheers!
chuck it is not bullshit. you express what many feel but don't take the time to say. Every word you wrote was the truth. Drake was The Van Gogh of acoustic music. He left so much beauty but Was so troubled by the world that held him captive.
@@chuckthebull I started to write something in hopes that words could capture what it is that music and all art does but then the Web burped and my attempt was lost to the webs. Thanks for your writing. It is good for the heart to take it in.
I have never heard any guitar player using odd chords like Nick does, that's why i like his music because he he always does something different in every song.
So this is how it ends huh? I was like 16 or something when my best friend and guitarist of our little band came up with this song. He played along with the tape he brought, god, it was so magical and mesmerizing, with some beer and weed of course. Years passed, my best friend died by a fucking car accident, left me alone in this huge fuxking creepy place called earth. i never listened that song again till this day, which i decided to go find him in the afterlife. Words can't just describe my feelings now, all i wanna say is SORRY lol. Sorry mother earth, i failed u. Wish u the best all who listens to him, hope noone leaves u hanging on a star :)
This was one of his last recordings, listen to the lyrics ... he is saying "you say I'm Great, yet nothing is happening" depression came and he took his life!. Even though he wrote Fruit Tree some years priviouse .... sadly he did not realize that it was his epitaph.
i think it’s just his dead nickel wound strings. his lowest note is a Bb which is a jump from the normal E it was probably strung for, so the harmonics combined with his picking style creates a unique sound
It seems incredulous to say, but the man never wrote a bad song. I’m mean, think of it. Every last one, from the first album to the last, every song, every arrangement, every vocal, and every string plucked, strummed, picked, brushed, and slightly bent is of the highest order. It’s gobsmacking that he lived, recorded, and we have no known film of him playing or even confirmed film of him just walking toward a camera. Key word is toward the camera. We may have him on camera walking away, appropriately.
It's funny as I hear Nick's masterpieces and people say I sound like him and had never heard of him until a few years ago when I finally looked him up. I glue on plastic fingernails so my classical guitar sounds sharper, the opposite of Nick's strings as I try for a crisp steel string sound but stick with the easier play of nylon strings.. Nick though... wow!
I have been listening and playing for 25 years to guitar players. I always find something unique in the great songwriters' styles. I must learn more N. Drake.
"...sul piatto dello stereo girava un disco dei Concerti brandeburghesi di Bach e sul comodino una copia de Il Mito di Sisifo di Albert Camus...." 40 anni fa, nella casa di Tanworth-in-Arden ...why leave me hanging on a star? When you deem me so high When you deem me so high When you deem me, so high Why leave me sailing in a sea? When you hear me so clear When you hear me so clear When you hear me, so clear Why leave me hanging on a star? When you deem me so high When you deem me so high When you deem me, so high...
Every so often we find an artist who expresses their soul (not plastic imitation soul). NIck Drake was that special. Others...Van Morrison, Peter Gabriel and the incomparable Scott Walker.
Like Syd Barrett's solo recordings, Nick Drake's last songs are set in decline and made out of desperation - not easy listening, but a masterclass for artists who have chosen music as their medium.
What he is accomplishing here with his guitar parts to obtain that "Home Made" sound is just ineffable. And he is making sure you are focusing on it by giving protracted intermissions between each statement which he [barely] sings. I always imagine the end of Summer Solstice with this song. It is so peaceful yet sung by a man at war with himself inside. Just so perfect. This man gave his life for our entertainment & mood.
these unreleased recordings sound so much better than on the albums, just like time has told me it's like the rare demo's of Dylan's blood on the tracks, they're filled with such a crazy amount of passion and simplicity compared to the 'cleaner' 'polished' sound on the album (if you're a fan of this you should check that out btw!)
@whatsetyouapart His stuff draws you in; it seems to fit the mood. Play this music, wherever you are, and it will work to draw out the best - and the most beautifully painful - of wherever you are and whatever you are doing. I don't tear up often when listening to music. I am happy, really, to say that with Nick this is a rather common occurrence. The pain you hear in his records, you've felt many, many times. It just never had a soundtrack before.
The true poet and artist are never in their life but only in their death. Why? Because the masses can’t understand understand them until next generations which are far removed feel them.
If you like this version (and you should), it's reason enough if you haven't done it to pick up the "Made to Love Magic" collection. The version there is my favorite Nick Drake song.
This song is God...when I first listened to it in the church in Tanworth for the gathering I started crying...and I do everytime I listen to it....it was so unfair....he deserved the best...thank you Nick for always 🙏 💞🌟🧚♀️
Esperando Uma Estrela Por que me deixar esperando uma estrela Quando você me julgou tanto? Quando você me julgou tanto? Quando você me julgou tanto?

Frustrating. I can only find this version on UA-cam. The other version on his box sets are over produced. This version is bare bones raw, and hits the gut with such a fulfilling glimmer of sadness.
If you can find the 1987 Time of No Reply collection on Hannibal, I think this is the version of Hanging on a Star it features. I far prefer this version to the version on the 2004 collection Made to Love Magic, which has a completely different guitar take by Nick.
There was a box set, first released about forty years ago, which had his three studio LPs and a fourth one called Time Of No Reply which was made up of a few early recordings from 1967/68, alternate versions and his last recordings from 1974 which included this track.
@Nic01224 Well, yeah, beauty and innocence is all around. And, reading the very post that seems to set you off so much, I think goouttothemeadow gets that. To feel the way that a lot of us feel about Nick Drake's music and its interaction with the story of his life kind of means that we get it too. You might want to ask yourself if you do. P.S. His death may have been an acident; the jury will always be out on that. There's no indication that he 'gave up' on anything.

@@williskorb9766 thank you
you had an A M A Z I N G father my dear.
how can a single man just with his guitar his voice can produce such beauty .. this is totally gorgeous.
That is why we love him so much.
Nick was too beautiful for this world
@@lanabanana68 yes
How could he have taken his own life.
what happened to music?
This song could loop forever and I wouldn't mind
One of the best and most heart breaking songs I've heard.
i second that
rubbish
Cause the world is ignorant, Nick. But you knew that. Fortunately, you have us, and we have you.
Exactly
One of the best comments I have seen about Nick. You get it!
@@PeterKasen Thank you. :) You too my friend. Cheers!
His voice and the simplicity of the song and the complexity of the guitar take me captive. He goes straight to the heart and soul.
Lyrics:
Why leave me hanging on a star
When you deem me so high
When you deem me so high
When you deem me so high
And why leave me sailing in a sea
When you hear me so clear
When you hear me so clear
When you hear me so clear
And why leave me hanging on a star
When you deem me so high
When you deem me so high
When you deem me so high
Listening through headphones, walking on a cold rainy day.
Nick spent countless hours in seclusion perfecting his guitar parts ,lyrics and vocals for his compositions.That is what is required to build anything of meaning artistically. He gave everything of himself in this song and it shows. He left us many amazing songs in his short life. Long live Nick Drake!
nick's mom once said "he plays his prettiest melodies in the early morning". i think this is his prettiest recorded melody
PROBABLY WHEN HE WAS MOST LUCID AND AT CREATIVE PEAK AFTER SLEEP
listen to blossom and bird flew by. saturday sun is also up there
@@markbutler7931More like when he stayed up all night on moroccan hashish 😅
Just unbelievable, there aren't many artists who would even come close to Nick.
Elliott Smith
+R'onnberry Chadnickle eh no sorry
+R'onnberry Chadnickle I love both, but I also think they are both pretty different in a lot of ways that I can see how a huge Nick Drake fan could possibly not like Elliott Smith.

The very very first time I heard Nick Drake I knew he was extremely gifted and I would be listening to him for years to come.
Nick instantly hooked me too. Listened to his studio albums all one after the other that day. No other music makes me feel this way.
Good Lord... He was truly magnificent.
The first time I heard his music i was around his age when he died and I was captured by something I resonated with very deeply, a melancholy yes but a sweetness or a poetry that transcended the mundane.

One of the most serene acoustic songs every composed. Comes very close to Indian Classical.
a shell, a wreck. hardly coherent
@@borkair6581 care to elaborate?
@@borkair6581 and that's exactly why.
@@borkair6581 sad, when someone doesn’t perceive sublimity

way to read it.
Rest In peace Brother.....I listened to your music and loved you when you were still on this earth.
I have never heard any guitar player using odd chords like Nick does, that's why i like his music because he he always does something different in every song.
I can never get enough of hearing this song.
So perfect !!
9 months. i was alive for 9 months before he passed. i miss him so much.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} I was 12.
Almost 7 months. Not fair!

won't forget the feeling when I first heard his songs....I have four of his albums...Nick Drake's music is magic...
This is just utterly brilliant.
Thank you Nick so much for your wonderful life inspiring music. RIP 4ever Nick Drake, the prince of acoustic guitar!!
Beautiful, heart breaking.
This was one of his last recordings, listen to the lyrics ... he is saying "you say I'm Great, yet nothing is happening" depression came and he took his life!. Even though he wrote Fruit Tree some years priviouse .... sadly he did not realize that it was his epitaph.
His music haunts me
The apsolute best, one and only version of this song for me. It's perfect
The guitar is monumental on this version, I far prefer this to the version on the "Made to Love Magic" collection.
This guitar sounds so unique and dead, sounds like it’s wound with piano strings. Perfection
Is someone playing piano with him? I’m really wondering now
i think it’s just his dead nickel wound strings. his lowest note is a Bb which is a jump from the normal E it was probably strung for, so the harmonics combined with his picking style creates a unique sound
there is something about his whining voice and beautiful guitar that sticks to your soul
feel like end of something. late summer. night. red and blue flash light in the dark. police arrive. somethings gone for good. miss you nick.
Nick you wanted to reach people with your music and oh how you have - more than you know......
this is art.
My favorite ND song.
It seems incredulous to say, but the man never wrote a bad song.
I’m mean, think of it. Every last one, from the first album to the last, every song, every arrangement, every vocal, and every string plucked, strummed, picked, brushed, and slightly bent is of the highest order.
It’s gobsmacking that he lived, recorded, and we have no known film of him playing or even confirmed film of him just walking toward a camera. Key word is toward the camera. We may have him on camera walking away, appropriately.
I love him so much and I never knew him. His voice transcends time.
Drake's songs are astonishing.
Not a good point since he didn't have a long career. But nonetheless you're right.
his guitar sound is enormous
The tuning helps.
I heard nick Drake because a friend (Khat) played it...I will be listening long past death..his or mine....thanks nick..x
I wonder how it feels to be one of the eight people in the world who dislike this song.
Vapidity
Redeemed by the 8 people who like this comment
I don't wanna know.
It's funny as I hear Nick's masterpieces and people say I sound like him and had never heard of him until a few years ago when I finally looked him up.

Thank you for posting.
crushing
J'ADOOOOORE depuis toujours
Thank you for your words.....I feel the same....
wow, this is really different than the "made to love magic" version. can't tell which I like better...
I have been listening and playing for 25 years to guitar players. I always find something unique in the great songwriters' styles. I must learn more N. Drake.
Wish I could find the version on Spotify or Apple Music. I have the cd but I don't have a cd play in any of my cars anymore 🫤

Same as his usual CGCFCE except down a step
Every so often we find an artist who expresses their soul (not plastic imitation soul). NIck Drake was that special. Others...Van Morrison, Peter Gabriel and the incomparable Scott Walker.
Townes Van Zandt also.
Beautiful boy. Beautiful music.
I hear this and tell myself in the context of it being the last thing he recorded, “he was ready to go”
He was certainly very close to the end of his life at this point. Heartbreaking.
It was meant for his 4th album
Like Syd Barrett's solo recordings, Nick Drake's last songs are set in decline and made out of desperation - not easy listening, but a masterclass for artists who have chosen music as their medium.
Oh how I love thee, Nick Drake.
What he is accomplishing here with his guitar parts to obtain that "Home Made" sound is just ineffable. And he is making sure you are focusing on it by giving protracted intermissions between each statement which he [barely] sings. I always imagine the end of Summer Solstice with this song. It is so peaceful yet sung by a man at war with himself inside. Just so perfect. This man gave his life for our entertainment & mood.
Astonishing.
This is so heavy.
tabs anyone ...???
this is possibly the best recorded material of nick drake
lol that's like saying "this nugget of gold may be better than all other gold nuggets"
these unreleased recordings sound so much better than on the albums, just like time has told me
it's like the rare demo's of Dylan's blood on the tracks, they're filled with such a crazy amount of passion and simplicity compared to the 'cleaner' 'polished' sound on the album (if you're a fan of this you should check that out btw!)

There are some minor mistakes in some notes and some capo positions, but you should be able to figure where they are
very poor. he was average to start with

ミュージシャンのクライブ・グレッグスンがニックのアルバムのサウンドを何回聴いても理解できなくて、直接エンジニアのジョン・ウッドにその秘密を尋ねたって逸話がありますね。
しかしジョンの答えは「いや、普通にマイクを立てて録音しただけだよ」だったそうで、確かに改めて聴いてみると不思議にリッチなサウンドですね。

i wouldn’t say the other version is overproduced, just different
Nick Drake is the Robert Johnson of the white blues pickers. almost as legendary too.
Can someone please clarify - I'm not aware of an album called "TIme Of No Reply", so where does this song come from?
There was a box set, first released about forty years ago, which had his three studio LPs and a fourth one called Time Of No Reply which was made up of a few early recordings from 1967/68, alternate versions and his last recordings from 1974 which included this track.
There's someone to whom I would like to ask the same things.
Anyone know where to get the tablature for this version of this song
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
is it a crime to dislike a song at least there honest its better than the people who pretend to like it to make them seem cool
wow
Your heart
vid not available you greedy feckers, all nick wanted was for eveyone to hear his music and yeah i keep pushing
is this one or two guitars
