Topic Nominated Nick Drake
I know he's been mentioned before, but he needs his own thread. If I were a musician and not just some sorry writer I'd want to be Nick Drake.

Once, when I was staying in Mexico I was playing his stuff on a laptop while writing and a musician friend in whose house I was staying, and who was part of a very famous band over there, stopped what he was doing in the background and demanded to know who he was. I never realised, he said, the English had souls ...

Re: Nick Drake
I remember hearing "Pink Moon" while very stoned and getting the sense of something ominous. I'm not one bit surprised or ambivalent that Nick Drake killed himself on purpose. He couldn't even look anyone in the eye.

Re: Nick Drake
I was working in Our Price in the mid 90s when I first heard Nick Drake, my manager put one of his albums on to listen to while we were putting the stock out. I seem to remember only hearing one or two songs and bought all his albums straight away:

Re: Nick Drake
This song...

Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.

Re: Nick Drake
Drake influenced many musicians, one of them just happens to be one of my favorite bands - Boris... So, try this :


Cover is, obviously, homage to Bryter Layter...
I knew that someday I was gonna die / And I knew before I died Two things would happen to me / That number one I would regret my entire life / And number two I would want to live my life over again.
Hubert Selby Jr.

Re: Nick Drake
I've just got the cheap(er) version of this book.
https://www.rememberedforawhile.com/
Haven't had time to dig into it yet but it looks magnificent, with loads of family photos, diaries, photos etc.
It also makes me think that there would be a market for a lavishly illustrated book about his gorgeous sister Gabrielle, star of UFO.
