Fragile Folk | Nick Drake's "Horn" on Solo Folk Accordion

Описание: A sparse folk button‑accordion rendering of Nick Drake’s “Horn,” turning his bare acoustic guitar sketch into a fragile, bellows‑and‑air meditation. “Horn” is the fifth track on Pink Moon, Drake’s third and final studio album, released by Island Records in February of 1972 and recorded in just two late‑night sessions at Sound Techniques in London.
​
I've heard someone refer to this as one of the earliest ambient tracks created. Over time, the album Pink Moon has become a cult classic, often praised as Drake’s purest statement of stripped‑back English folk melancholy. This solo accordion version leans into that stillness, phrasing “Horn” like a slow, private air you might overhear drifting through a half‑open door at midnight

This is my own improvised reduction/ arrangement performed by me (Chauncey Canfield). I do not own the rights to this composition.

If you appreciate intricate melodies, thoughtful compositions, and the unique sound of the folk button box, you're in the right place. Don't forget to like this video, subscribe for more acoustic covers, and let me know in the comments what other songs you'd love to hear on the accordion!
