Beautifull!
If you read the lyrics, and compare it to his own personal story, it’s really fucking creepy. It’s almost like he predicted what would happen.
It’s not so much creepy, as it is haunting. He knew, I think Nick always knew. I think that was why he was so tortured, why he couldn’t perform in front of those…people. Poor baby tried to stop it, but he couldn’t. Thank God for Joe Boyd’s clause.
astonish masterpiece
Such a sad tale of this man.. What a loss..
what a wonderful songs did he made and how superb he could sing them. What a great loss
stalk should be stock…
Perhaps the last bastion of hope for some artists, recognition in the afterlife
I have been suicidle for a number of years. Through each one of those years, Nick Drake has been there with me. I can’t help but think Nick Drake is in someway responsible for my perverse need to die young.
shut up a your face
Das schönste und das traurigste Liebesliede ……. – ich liebe es seit ca. 1982……….
Ihr jungen Leute – hört es euch wirklich an (aber nicht, wenn du jetzt superglücklicht bist, das geht nicht………
True, but understandable.
It’s amazing how much of himself Nick was able to put into his music. Even before I started reading his biography (and even though he died 15 years before I was born) I felt like I knew him… This song especially sums up his troubled life and career. Such a beautiful yet haunting song… and I love the — I want to say oboe? — almost as much as the lyrics.
he left us his great music though. too bad he couldn’t find success with it in life.
