Pink Moon ❤

Thank you Pete. This is the only info I can find to pair this with an Android to use with apps. Garmin has no app or explanation on how to use on a phone.

Knew nothing about him , but of his sister Gabrielle drake

Listen to The Endless Coloured Ways, and especially 'Cello Song

So the first thing we hear is an American actor, then an awful cover version of one of Nick's best songs. Then another American. Typical BBC, completely disrespecting the British artist and British people.

The best songwriter and so English... nobody like him and never will be...he was too beautiful for this world.

Amazing footage Pete 👏

Welcome back!

Remember listening to this st the time, fair play to Brad, class act.

I nicked a rake once.

This was a great episode

Sounds like brad pitt hosting

I was hooked from the first few notes I ever heard. Nick Drake is amazing.

God bless his spirit. The music of Nick Drake will continue to live on and grow. R.I.P 🙏❤️.x

Great documentary but wow, Norah Jones really ruins those beautiful songs!

I first heard Nicks music on the Island samplers Nice enough to eat , then Bumpers , His music has been part of my life since 1969

I wrote a song called “Into the darkness” that was inspired by Nick Drake, he’s the reason I became a songwriter. I can’t even express my gratitude, I’m so incredibly grateful for everything. This is my song♥️ ruclips.net/video/ZkZ-MXCzrK0/видео.htmlsi=Pu0uwe4VKyNRSoCs

I've never lost the love for Nick's music..... I've never felt anything but pure joy and emotion from from this unique talent! Once you discover him.... he becomes a true friend ❤

Thanks for sharing this

Thanks for sharing this Pete B. I missed it when it was first broadcast in 2004. I was actually at the cinema as it was broadcast with a stunningly beautiful woman, now my wife, watching Brad Pitt as Achilles in 'Troy.' I made the right sacrifice at the time. It is good to have actually heard it after all these years.

first time i came across nick was in the mojo ma in 91

i remember this when it aired couldny fuckin wait aw day that day fur this

Someone gave me a CD covering this BRAD PITT' s show on NICK Drake. Great someone like Bratt gives Nick this attention. He is worth it.

Just wanted to say thank you for posting this and keeping it up after all this time! I’ve watched this at least 20 times! Truly one of my favorite videos on RUclips! Thanks again for this, and love you Nick! God bless you wherever you are!

Good music 🎵🎶

Nick Drake, Donovan, Shawn Phillips, Bert Jansch, Roy Harper, John Martyn are the soundtrack of my days

If you have heard the "Family Tree" album, where ND covers a few songs by Jackson C Frank, when he also was an unknown genius at the time (only made one album, produced by none other than Paul Simon)... Check his stuff out. "Milk and Honey", and "My name is Carnival" (the latter was featured in "Joker" the movie. Joker's stage name was "Carnival")

Always thought it was a tragic story that he never knew how popular and beloved his music became. Pink Moon is one of my favourite songs ever. Such a talented guitarist, so gifted

shame to all the people around him, nobody helped him.

Thanks Brad. That was enlightening.

Oh man. His lyrics sound like high school kid poetry and the rhyming is so simplistic. There is a cloyingly sappy element to all of it that seems so forced, but what I do find genuine and realistic-sounding is the account by the friend who said that this Nick Drake guy was so mad about not being famous and commercially successful. I think his music is more popular now than it was when he was alive solely because there used to be good music to compete with back then. Now, there really isn’t. Despite what I think of his lyrics and contrived vocal sound, I definitely like his music more than any mumble rap or crappy Gen Z pop.

Drake took lots of drugs, i wonder if this caused his eventual mental downfall?it cant be ruled out.

Must've been tricky... being Gay in the late-sixties / early seventies. A lot of self hate, at who he was...

Love Nick's tender, emotive lyrics and voice. I was once told I had "2 protective layers less than most people". I think the same could have been said about Nick.

Imagine someone you know tossing a copy of Five Leaves Left onto your bed, no great ceremony, just “here you go”.. and then you see them on the sleeve and listen to it.. if that doesn’t floor you nothing will..

ironically being unsucessful is what makes him unique and proof that he was miles ahead of his time

Who's the drunk chick at the beginning with her slurred, lethargic drawl? 🥶

Northern Sky....my fave

I've only just discovered Nick Drake. Through a favourite song of mine from the mid 80's, Dream Academy's Life in a Northern Town. His music is so beautiful, deep & meaningful. 2022, and he is still acquireing fans♥️.

It certainly seems like a management failure to me. He needed the right venues with the right audiences, and they would have grown and grown. But neither the labels nor his own manager, if he had one, got him into those places with those audiences. He needed audience quiet, like at classical concerts, or like a late night speciality side stage at a modern music festival, where people who know will flock to an intimate small stage concert. With enough practice performing in public, his confidence would have grown to handle the experience, to be more talkative to the fans and so on. The time between songs retuning his guitar could have been reduced with guitar techs doing the work for him and readying up a fresh guitar for the next song. But the 1970s was a poorer world, and a poorer Britain, in terms of those kind of resources for artists playing live. It seems to me that there was always sadness in his songs, and an awareness of death, even while singing about happier themes. Which isn't to say that he wanted to die, but that his whole outlook was clouded by the awareness of death, like for the Teacher of Wisdom in Ecclesiastes.

Can't believe it's taken this 71 yo music fanatic so long to discover & explore Nick Drake!!!~Thank-You I feel ya' man having dealt with being diagnosed at 19 as manic-depressive...ps also long-time secret/kinda'' singer songwriter...i feel a deep connection with you man RIP!!~!

Was going to watch this...then heard the narrator at the beginning...no thanks.

Superb pot puri of every relevance in ND life , it's doubtful we will get a better insight into this enigmatic genius with a troubled soul . Of course the cruelest twist is painful touring and promotion would be mitigated today with technology and fame and fortune would be laid at his feet. Reality was more brutal as he died without adulation or critical acclaim but left this world with a breathtaking legacy of timeless acoustic alchemy .

Francoise Hardy's autobiography has a few pages on Nick Drake, more than she wrote about Jagger and Dylan.

Gracias por este documental, acabo de descubrir Nick Drake y me encanta su musica, lo escuchas y no entiendes porque no ha sido una estrella

He looked as good as he played.

2 yrs later...come back for a second listening ;) thank you x

On listening to this again, I'm making plans to revisit Tanworth in Arden this week.

I'm playing a 13 song Nick Drake Tribute in Chicago at Montrose Saloon. August 27th, 2021. 7:30-9:00. RUclips. Kmr1121.

Nick's music has been special to me since around 1980. My son took his life ten years ago, aged twenty and we played Time Has Told Me at his funeral. It was the most emotional gift we could give him. Nick's music and lyrics touch so many in so many ways. Not many can do this
