Nick Drake's classic original song is the song I imagine when spring arrives. I spend days lying down in the forest or meadows listening to his classic. Beck's wonderful cover is the exact opposite of that: I'd listen to this song as the sun sets in the Autumn, watching trees lose their leaves.

Very interesting perspective. I feel your sentiments completely. I don't think this is the best cover of the song, but I appreciate that Beck is a Nick Drake fan enough to record this. I think his cover of "Parasite" is stronger. Now THAT is a song with no season except the dregs of winter.

I believe that the title should make clear that this is a Nick Drake song being covered by Beck. Beck also does an excellent cover of Parasite by Nick Drake. The more I learn about Nick Drake and hear his genius artistry the further down his fabulous rabbit hole I go! Kudos to Beck for this fabulous cover! Thank you for the upload, much appreciated!

As I said in response to another commenter, I don't think this is the best cover of the song, but I appreciate that Beck is a Nick Drake fan enough to record this. I think his cover of "Parasite" is stronger. It's extremely difficult to cover a Nick Drake song that comes anywhere close to the depth, emotional power and authenticity of the original.

BECK and so many others resolve the chorus UP, the last pink moon. Nick takes his lower, which I think leaves a little bit of the tension in the song which just makes you want to hear more. I wonder if they do it because it is acoustically an easier note/interval to articulate or if the original musical phrase is somewhat discomforting.

I know he covered the whole album. I just fucking said he did. He did it as a tribute, God forbid, and put his own spin on those songs and didn't charge ANYONE to listen to it. So what's the problem with that? If you want to talk about songwriting, Beck has, literally, hundreds of RELEASED originals to his name covering just about every genre you could possibly think of, and does all of them pretty damn well. Educate yourself, Mr.Dave.

Hmmm...I don't know what to think about it. I have a lot of respect for Nick Drake. It's too bad that he couldn't get past the fact that people are always judging, and in turn alienating each other. I also am a huge Beck fan as well. If you haven't heard anything off of Sea Changes, I'd recommend it. This song is done in a very characteristically "Beck" way. I do happen to like the Nick Drake version better, but I'm down to hear anyone's interpretation of any artist I love. Open arms!

It is a different version, but what do you expect, Beck to just completely copy another artist? I don't think so. He made it his own while keeping it's integrity, and I think Nick Drake would enjoy it. Beck Hansen is a genius who does justice to every genre.

Let's get a few things straight. Nick Drake was truly great. Beck is also a musical genius. THE POINT OF A COVER IS NOT TO "OUTDO" THE ORIGINAL, but rather, to pay tribute or show respect for a piece of work the covering artist likes (or wants to make money on, which is not the case for this cover). Anyone who knows anything about beck knows that he is very diverse and has no problem writing original material. He did not "butcher" Drake's song. It's a different interpretation, like it or not.

Nick Drake is deserves a lot of respect for his influence on music, Beck deserves a kick in the balls. Decent cover but still
