Nick Drake

[Taverner]

Tell me his music doesn't haunt you hours after you listen to it.....

[DrWeird]

1. Shit, the VW commercial is haunting.

Fucking commercial savages.

But yes, Drake's music is extraordinary.

[Taverner]

2. A better popular application of his work was "Fly"

In Royal Tennenbaums. Wes Anderson knows how to use music, and that tune was perfectly placed in that flick.

3. He had many demons....

...but his 4 short albums are absolutely beautiful.

[Westegg]

4. I love, LOVE the guy's work---I think I've got all of it now...

...and I'm only sorry I wasn't around when he needed fans and record sales. I'm not saying that's why he died so young---clearly, he had some major mental-health issues. But still...It hurts to come across an artist like Drake, so long after he died...

5. decades

decades after you listen to it

6. I'm awfully fond of it too.

It is quite amazing, just shame there are only four albums.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

7. Gonna see the Riverman

gonna tell him all I can


Man Five Leaves Left is perhaps one of the finest albums I own.

:thumbsup:

8. Sorry, can't oblige

I have the same problem.

9. Time Has Told Me

What an incredible song from someone that is sorely missed. I heard it on a 1 year 9/11 anniversary program in NYC and it was one of the most poignant uses of a song I've seen.


Time has told me
You're a rare rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind

And time has told me
Not to ask for more
Someday our ocean
will find its shore

So I'll leave the ways that are making me be
What I really don't want to be
Leave the ways that are making me love
What I really don't want to love

Time has told me
You came with the dawn
A soul with no footprint
A rose with no thorn

Your tears they tell me
There's really no way
Of ending your troubles
With things you can say

And time will tell you
To stay by my side
To keep on trying
'Till there's no more to hide

So leave the ways that are making you be
What you really don't want to be
Leave the ways that are making you love
What you really don't want to love

Time has told me
You're a rare rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind

And time has told me
Not to ask for more
For some day our ocean
Will find its shore

[Screaming Lord Byron]

10. Is there anyone who heard him and didn't like him?

It's impossible, I tell you. Impossible.

11. I've got the 4-disc box set

But I try not to play it too much. I don't want to get tired of his music.
