I'm not going to search for old Nick Drake posts as Nick is always new and a surprise every time I go back to his music--but then I never left.....as close to Arthur Lee/Love as we can get in the absolute fresh-as-the-day-it-was-recorded timelessness.

So now is the TIME for...
NICK DRAKE



From The Morning

Cello Song...so damn beautiful
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Leaves_Left



Things Behind The Sun....love the guitar break, well the whole guitar picking throughout!...so perfect
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV4D_q9QiuQ&feature=related



Something behind Nick's music says to me no matter how dark life is(or even no matter how dark his song is)... the music will lift you...




FLY!...the beauty of this breaks my heart!

...for a daily dose...why does Nick fill me with joy? Maybe because he battles severe depression to write some of the most inspired and brilliant songs of all time.

That is victory....true success is achieved through a series of failures...never give up.

Well heres a "cover" of From the Morning
in standard tuning:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIUOUD9mf_0

I was always more impressed with the contents of Pink Moon than the gatefold cover actually. Not really representative of the album (stark, personal, spot on guitar picking!)

The cover to Bryter Layter isn't so hot either - the shot of Nick isn't shot so clear, and you can make out his Guild better! (the guitar on the cover was never actually played by Nick, curiously, at least according to the recent book on Nick - Pink Moon - by fanzine writer Jason Creed

I'd like to find the original pressing of that album I read about in Record Collector, with Nick smiling and rather garish (in orange color!) though that seems as hard to find as the Interplay record

the Interplay seems to pop up every now and again on eBay for a few grand, although its available for download online
