Both George and Josh play and sing to a level that would compel Nick to bow his head in admiration! Always wishing you George and Josh God's Loving Peace! @@georgeboomsmamusic
Wow.... this made me cry... this interpretation of nick's song really hit me. It made me think about in what kind of dark place he must have been at the time. So sad the world lost this musical wonder. Thankyou for this cover man.
What have i just heard? I have loved Nick Drake's music since first hearing him way back early 1970. I still have and treasure those albums bought back then. Over the years I have heard many try to cover his work but none so full of emotion as this. Thank You so much George.
Bravo. You nailed the soul of this song. Your guitar and vocals are lovely but nobody can do this properly,.or even try, without knowing depth and pain. Your rendition of my all-time favorite song is simply beautiful. Thank you. 🙏
When I was young, younger than before I never saw the truth hanging from the door And now I'm older, see it face to face And now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place And I was green, greener than the hill Where flowers grow and the sun shone still Now I'm darker than the deepest sea Just hand me down, give me a place to be And I was strong, strong in the sun I thought I'd see when day was done Now I'm weaker than the palest blue Oh, so weak in this need for you
Saw you play this at the Gathering in 2019, the highlight of the show. You did a quick strum before you began playing and I said to my friend, he's going to play the home demo version of Place To Be. Brought him to tears it did.
This is beautiful. I am a huge nick Drake fan and there aren't many people who I personally like to cover his songs. This is amazing though and you have such a beautiful voice. Peace and love to all.
I've been listening to this every morning when I wake up before work, just sitting there with my coffee and cigarette, such a comfort to hear such beauty, you did a real good job mate
Been a fan for over 45 years Corey. Fantastic renditions with your own voice adding. Have never really heard a cover (with vocals) that has any of the tunes their due. Because nobody sounds like Nick. Yet you have achieved this. Feel very proud my man!
terrific cover, well done. Nick's fingerpicked home recording however has an operatic level of grandeur in sound and feel, that is truly a level no one seems to have attained yet.
I think this is actually better than Nick Drakes version, especially how the arrangement was changed slightly, amazingly blessed to be able to hear these songs. Truly one of a kind recordings thanks so much for sharing them George.
@@georgeboomsmamusic You're very welcome. Thank you for recording these for us to enjoy. I often times think about Nick and his life. He would be over 70 today if he was still alive and it's amazing how people keep his songs alive by re-recording them, it is a testament to how good a song writer he was. The songs are timeless, this recording could have been done in 1600s and it would still make sense then.
Thanks George. Heartbreaking. You make the words and the poetry work together so well. Nick would be the same age as me now. Think what he could have done.
Not only is your performance absolutely mesmerizing - your gorgeous production captures that spirit of aliveness between you and Nick Drake. My hat is off to you 😇
@@georgefuller8434 Ha we'll see we'll see - I need to get some more videos up I reckon... I've got a new originals EP coming out 6th December though so keep an eye out for that!
Wow. Amazing. Your voice, guitar playing and the sound is really good. I have been a Nick Drake fan since 1997. Until I heard your cover today I didn't believe anyone could match Nick's voice or do a great cover of his songs.
@@georgeboomsmamusic Those lyrics are more relatable to this young generation than mine. I sent it to my 22 year old son and he said he feels sad at leaving the rosiness of childhood behind him.
Wow what a voice! Also such beautiful picking! This is great in every aspect! I heard your fine rendition before but seems I didn't comment, which I can hardly believe as you are amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Wow. Nick drake is so well known for his fingerpicking that I forgot that this one is strummed. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I like your version better! And the dissonant addition at the end is so great and Nick drake esque. Great sound quality too! Thanks for doing this!
Outstandingly performed and recorded. Really, really impressive.
Nice one Josh! Really love your tune 'Rockaway', great writing.
Both George and Josh play and sing to a level that would compel Nick to bow his head in admiration! Always wishing you George and Josh God's Loving Peace! @@georgeboomsmamusic
@@bobjoyner7174Couldn’t agree more!! These two gents are incredible and do Nick justice completely.
Cheers!@@marajade893
"...now I'm weaker than the palest blue..." One of Nick's greatest lyrics and so tenderly sung on this great performance! My hat's off to you, sir 👍
Thanks very much Steve! 👍👍
I love that lyric because I read it and thought "huh I guess pale blue is a pretty weak color, never thought of it like that."
Dude, you gave this song a whole new meaning. Such power in this songs vulnerability and you delivered it.
Cheers Mike, appreciate that! 👍👍
❤😊
😀🙌
That is outrageously good. My favourite Nick Drake song. ❤❤❤
@@timball8429 thank you Tim! 👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks Jeena for the kind words - really glad you liked it!
wow this is the first cover of "place to be" that manages to sound beautiful even though it's played differently
Thanks! Go check out Nick's home demo recording of the tune - that's what I based it on.
@@georgeboomsmamusic oh okay will definitely do that. I had no clue there was a demo version
I can listed to this 100 times... Think I will.
Ha brilliant, really glad you like it 👍👍
the performance and the recording is outstanding!
Nice one! Appreciate the comment, cheers
Someone give this guy a record deal! God damn! What a way to modernize this song and it make it your own. Very impressive.
Ha thanks very much! 🙌🙌
Truly beautiful take on this song. I come back to this over the actual song more often than not.
Thanks very much! 🙌

He has a beautiful collection of work that still holds it's own today - really glad you enjoyed the video Gerard - cheers!
Beautiful and wonderfully hypnotising to have the reels spinning as you perform
Very glad you enjoyed, cheers.

When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older, see it face to face
And now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place
And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grow and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be
And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you
Nice
You are breaking my heart ...lovely stuff..
:) too kind
I'm wordless... Just beautiful!
Thank you! 🙌
This should have millions of views, absolutely amazing cover and beautifully recorded ❤
Ah nice one Marty! Real glad you enjoyed it 👍

Had such a beaut day, hopefully get down for it again one year! Cheers Rich
I really felt it when you sang "In this need for you" :,)
Cheers Ratul ha! 🙌
@@georgeboomsmamusic More power to you! Please keep the flame alive, always, for us!
@@ratulupadhyay I'll do my best! 👍👍
Oh George! That's sounds like vitamin C to me! Thanks so much
Ha great stuff Erian, nice one!
Superb 🥹 this is, by far, the best cover I have heard. Your voice captures the vulnerability Drake conveyed and it’s ridiculously beautiful

Appreciate that! Cheers 👍
Love it ! Really a great cover, you nailed that Nick Drake vibe that is so hard to replicate.
Nice one!
Coming back to get more goose bumps, thank you for sharing such talent yet also sharing what goes beyond talent as you rise so "strong in the sun".
