You're not kidding Jon. I'm having that same experience (two years later). Just looking for a cover of "Fruit tree" to learn one second, suddenly I'm sitting agog watching Tobias channelling Nick from beyond the grave. Astonishing.
I know that you created these YEARS ago but I just discovered Nick's music and I've been OBSESSED as I study his work, learn to play his songs and sing with him! I am a professional singer and guitar player with 11 albums to my credit and 40 years of experience ( I am LORI BRAVO of the LEGENDARY NUCLEAR DEATH ) but I can ALWAYS find knowledge in the music of others and I tend to go deep...your covers are beautiful...and I realize that you had only been playing a short while...it is lovely to see and listen to your music, as of late, and hear how much you have grown as an artist! MUCH LOVE AND MAD RESPECT FROM NOLA BABY! ^..^⚜🎺🎷🥁🪗🎹🎻🪕🪘🎭🥃🍺🐊
Tobias!!! OMG. That was so incredibly beautiful. Your finger style playing is sublime. If they make a movie about ND, I really hope you get it. I am 55 years old and have been playing since I was 33. I'll never have that proficiency. I love that alternative tuning with the Celtic feel. Transports you on a different plane. I cannot say this more clearly or succinctly, but, Bravo, Friend!! Well done. Cheers from Canada,EH!
This is a super difficult song to cover, playing guitar and singing at the same time is just another level. That’s why you don’t see cover of this song everywhere on UA-cam. Truly a masterpiece cover!!!
nick drake would have been confused that somehow this guy is playing his song, which nobody cared about in his day, on this TV/typewriter machine that also has videos and recordings without any film or tape rolling
whenever i here this song, i feel nothing but emotion, at every level... happiness, loneliness, love, fulfillment, desire. but most of all, i feel sad, because when i hear it i think of Nick, and how he must of also felt all of those emotions, but a much higher more intense, and unbearable level. i love this song, and the the mind that wrote it, utter genius
It's great to see how the music of Nick Drake lives on, through kindred spirits and souls, moreover gifted with similar prowess. Every acoustic guitar player who has tried rendering this masterpiece will acknowledge that this is of the finest performance. Thank you.
This brought tears to me eyes - to see someone so young and skilled give new life to Nick’s music. He was truly an extraordinary artist and listening to not just this but all of your work - so are you, young man.
I can't believe you manage to do all these Nick Drake songs so perfectly. I mean the voice, the guitar playing, the general feel of the songs. You just nail them perfectly. I would be very curious to see what you are able to come up with yourself, because you seem like a very talented guy.
That was perfect!! Your voice even sounds much like Nicks. I've always wanted to watch how the guitar was played on this song especially. You're flawless here and truly enjoyed your honoring Nick with your own talent---thanks Tobias!
This effort evokes a depth of beauty only nature and the life force itself can come close to replicating.........breathtaking and yet, breath giving. Thank you.
People who dont play never understand the dedication it takes to learn every part of a song and then to perfect it like this and play it while singing so perfectly. Absolute class
Man, the accuracy of your playing leaves me dumbfounded. It's amazing. The amount I would have to practice to play this song with this level of detail. I can only immagine the commitment. Wow. You rock, like, actually
beautiful picking hand - Sounds amazing,as always. I think that picking pattern is one of the most complicated by Nick but also it sounds so medieval and airy.Long live Nick!
Defo best covers of nick drake songs I have heard anywhere delivered by this gent , spooky nick drake fingers and even dimple on chin lol! Love the vocal tone and guitar playing . Truly nailed it well done
I've been playing 49 years and this leaves me breathless. I'm actually going to try it onstage tomorrow. However, it won't hold a candle to this. You, sir are a master.
I use medium (0.12 up) DR Rare Phosphor Bronze. They didn't damage my nails so far. I also use medium Martin 80/20 Bronze strings from time to time and they work great as well. I hope you can find the best strings/brand for your playing. Thanks for listening!
I listen all your work, this is just the most beautiful and touching thing i've heard since a long time... I almost cry, your voice is so pure, it punch me right and deeply into my heart. You're a very special artist to me, sincere and passionate, lots of thanks for all these feelings... ( Excuse me for my terrible english...i'm french. ;) )
herr sekundenfaenger you raise the bar every time. I am a long time player of Nick's songs and worked most out myself not trusting other sources. I have witnessed all your superb covers on here, and you have taught an old ND veteran like me much. Your Cello Song, well i fall to my knees in reverence...like you have a direct line to the afterlife.faultless... Your gift should be appreciated far beyond these tubes. Your nails are impressive. I guess you too must also refuse to do the washing up...
I've always felt sad that there is no footage of Nick Drake performing. Watching you recreate his guitar work so flawlessly has absolutely made my day. Great work!!
This is really beautiful - I have watched it several times, but only just spotted that 2 people hqve given it the thumbs down! Who could do such a thing?!
Well after listening to several of your covers of Nick Drake i have come to the conclusion you are the reincarnation of him yourself. You sound like him, look like him. WOW dude like you are more than just spot on. It is insane i can't describe it. But just WOW!
Still, 10 years after posting, imho the most accurate and wonderful cover of this magnificent song to be found on UA-cam. Thank you, Mr Wilden!
Wow, you really sound like him. That's actually freaking me out.
I agree..that fragility..A voice coach would tell him to practise harder..lol..and miss how good he is...just as he is.
You're not kidding Jon. I'm having that same experience (two years later). Just looking for a cover of "Fruit tree" to learn one second, suddenly I'm sitting agog watching Tobias channelling Nick from beyond the grave. Astonishing.
Aston I don’t know why It touches me so deeply i feel uncomfortable.
I'm sad that Tobias stopped making music/videos that included his singing.
This fingering is insane...singing at the same time...and beautifully sensible...really impressive and beautiful.
This is one of the best covers I've heard ever. Brought Drake's music to life. I'm sure he is looking down at this video and smiling .
I know that you created these YEARS ago but I just discovered Nick's music and I've been OBSESSED as I study his work, learn to play his songs and sing with him! I am a professional singer and guitar player with 11 albums to my credit and 40 years of experience ( I am LORI BRAVO of the LEGENDARY NUCLEAR DEATH ) but I can ALWAYS find knowledge in the music of others and I tend to go deep...your covers are beautiful...and I realize that you had only been playing a short while...it is lovely to see and listen to your music, as of late, and hear how much you have grown as an artist!

Simply superb. Your Nick Drake posts are a gift. Your playing makes me feel sick it's so good.
omgosh! i just discovered you and your Nick Drake covers. amazing!
herr sekundenfaenger you raise the bar every time. I am a long time player of Nick's songs and worked most out myself not trusting other sources. I have witnessed all your superb covers on here, and you have taught an old ND veteran like me much. Your Cello Song, well i fall to my knees in reverence...like you have a direct line to the afterlife.faultless... Your gift should be appreciated far beyond these tubes. Your nails are impressive. I guess you too must also refuse to do the washing up...
I've always felt sad that there is no footage of Nick Drake performing. Watching you recreate his guitar work so flawlessly has absolutely made my day. Great work!!
The blessed gift taht your musical passion is.
Beautifully done. One of my favorite songs ever and you genuinely did it justice
great skill, your right hand is how i imagine nicks worked
Tobias, always loved your rendition of this beautiful song. Always come back to it.
Thanks, Paul. I'm glad you still like it. Much appreciated.
By far your best cover of Nick, well done and perfect picking
I'm saying like Eduardo here. Perfect! Really warms my heart that the youth are listening to Nick Drake. I think he would have been proud.
Came to this by chance. I really like your interpretation of this beautiful song.
The second of your videos that I’ve seen.
Love how well you know these songs. Your guitar playing too. Well played mate. 👍🎶
This is really beautiful - I have watched it several times, but only just spotted that 2 people hqve given it the thumbs down! Who could do such a thing?!
Wow!!!! Excellent rendition, spot on!!! For those like myself that understand what it is to play this song and sing over it, very impressive!
Incredible!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm absolutely speechless, so faithful to the original and beautifully played. Keep up the good work!!!
you are the best man, greetings from Córdoba Capital Argentina.
Very clear playing and a soothing voice .You encourage me to play more nick drake songs !
I have watched this a number of times--AMAZED by how spot on you are. Absolutely nailed it (I love Nick Drake).
@dirkitjes
Schön dass es dir gefällt! Danke für den Kommentar. Freut mich.
@reliablebow
Thanks. Glad you think so. I appreciate it!
HI there, what kind of mic is that if you dont mind me asking. Amazing work x
it's like listening to a ghost.... incredible!!
This has to be one of the best covers I've ever heard.
Well after listening to several of your covers of Nick Drake i have come to the conclusion you are the reincarnation of him yourself. You sound like him, look like him. WOW dude like you are more than just spot on. It is insane i can't describe it. But just WOW!
