She is the most exciting solo singer/guitarist I've listened to since Joni Mitchell.

I think Nick would have been thrilled with this. I can only imagine their blended voices singing this. She has the voice of an angel.

I actually like how the street noise intrudes at the end--as if the impossible magical spell of this song must eventually be broken.

Absolutely beautiful rendition. If Nick Drake had only known how many people his music would touch and inspire he might've stuck around a while longer.
@mikkeljulius7313 Жыл бұрын
You're probably right Brad. Nick's songs have an afterlife that is like a happy ending to the tragedy of his life.
@relicofgold 4 ай бұрын
Maybe. I've read so many books of his life that I've come to the conclusion that he had pot-induced schizophrenia, as he displayed those symptoms. If that is true, even had his dream of becoming a known/loved folk artist come true, that would not have saved him.

Madison, you are absolutely stunning... this is by far the best rendition of a Nick Drake song I've ever heard. I'm speechless.

Jesus... I've said this before but I think you've just done what Jeff Buckley did to Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah'... 'River Man' is my number one song of all time and you have done it serious justice here. I love this version so much... Thank you for your passion.

i am a complete purist when it comes to Nick Drake, and I was skeptic as hell when I saw the intro with the fast strumming, but I loved this entire cover
@gillesserrigny6324 3 жыл бұрын
When I heard this Spanish guitar strumming, I think what a pity. Afterwards I love. What a strange idea to make a video for that Nick Drake song in this place. 🤔
@cliveedwards2958 2 жыл бұрын
I thought the same at the front of the song "how can you keep that flamenco style going right through the song..and then in comes the jazz style Nick Drake rhythm " and a beautiful voice"..love the location for the shoot aswell... very Nick Drake...love it!

First, very brave to take on Nick Drake’s work and then veer in a direction that makes it unique but still mystical. Lovely, haunting. Bravo.

Here it is 2023 just a few days after the GRAMMYs.. First heard and saw you sing this with Chris Thile.. You are always able to catch the essence or complete song with one instrument and solo voice.. I just love that.. (true talent and a LOT of practice)... Just thanks for these Maddi..🎶👍
