One of my favorite soothing go to songs. Never get tired of this

Awesome song. Time signature sticks in your brain. The lyrics made me find out about Nick Drake. Now I have to learn more about him. How did I never remember hearing of his music/words.
I checked many versions of this song, and this is my favorite. But hearing Nick Drake sing this . . . -
Incredible version!!!
-
Nick Drake?
-
Kurt’s version of this song should be on the soundtrack of Drake’s BioPic!

Play this at my funeral.

Heard this on KKJZ (Cal State Long Beach) and was blown away. Magnificent!

Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
'Bout things today
And fallen leaves
Said she hadn't heard the news
Hadn't had the time to choose
A way to lose
But she believesGonna see the river man
Gonna tell him all I can
About the plan
For lilac time
If he tells me all he knows
'Bout the way his river flows
And all night shows
In summertimeBetty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
Or, maybe stay
She wasn't sure
For when she thought of summer rain
Calling for her mind again
She lost the pain
And stayed for moreGonna see the river man
Gonna tell him all I can
About the ban
On feeling free
If he tells me all he knows
'Bout the way his river flows
I don't suppose
It's meant for meOh, how they come and go
Oh… how they come, go-
Thanks. Top lyric.

From who is this beautiful voice?? Love this song..

amazing interpretation and arrangements, almost best that original tune
-
Why can't we just have an instrumental version of river man rather than people doing their own covers
-
The 5/4 timing is perfect for this magical tune. I play it in my repertoire, love this song.

i hear court and spark hints in this arrangement

Kurt Elling, the best vocalist of all. "INSUPERABILE"

haunting, could listen to this progression all night

No, it's Kurt Elling singing

Is it Lee singing on this one?

I heard this arrangement on WICN 90.5 and I was transfixed….perfect, beautiful.
-
I'm buyin this

Lee and Kurt made an awesome song even more musical
-
this is good. I think Drake's body of work is a very "sensitive" one, and this one song is even more sensitive. it could easily have been ruined, but no. because this is good.
-
Really nice cut. Kurt and Lee made a solid collaboration. Thanks so much for posting!

Met Nick a couple of times back in the day. Formidable…
