RE: OPEN MIC WEEK 39 - My cover of Been Smoking Too Long by Nick Drake
Huge Nick Drake fan as well - and yes his songs are total bastards to play. A lot of them are in weird 5/4 time signatures too. Apparently he used to just stare at a wall and play endless loops stoned out of his head - you should check out his mother's music too! You can see the influence.
Yeah I heard her piano style influenced him greatly. I was working on River Man a while back, I might try and have another crack at it at some point.
