Quem ouve Nick Drake, sente-se quase obrigado a partilhar a sua música. Na verdade Nick Drake, com a sua curta carreira nunca foi um músico famoso. Conhecido por muito poucos, é de salientar o crescente interesse em Drake, desde há uns 15 anos para cá. Não admira!!
Deixo duas músicas.
Mas vale apenas ouvir todos os álbuns, são só três os que Nick Drake deixou numa carreira de apenas 5 anos. Espantoso o facto de Nick Drake ter intitulado o seu primeiro álbum "Five Leaves Left
Aqui a letra
Cello Song
Strange face
With your eyes
So pale and sincere
Underneath you know well
You have nothing to fear
For the dreams that came
To you when so young
Told of a life
Where spring is sprung
You would seem so frail
In the cold of the night
When the armies of emotion
Go out to fight
But while the earth
Sinks to it’s grave
You sail to the sky
On the crest of a wave
So forget this cruel world
Where I belong
I’ll just sit and wait
And sing my song
And if one day you should see me in the crowd
Lend a hand and lift me
To your place in the cloud
Northern sky
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.
I've been a long time that I'm waiting
Been a long that I'm blown
I've been a long time that I've wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind's eye.
Would you love me for my money
Would you love me for my head
Would you love me through the winter
Would you love me 'til I'm dead
Oh, if you would and you could
Come blow your horn on high.
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.
