I've been trying to listen to Nick Drake for the last few months. I see his name come up a lot among people who are into music that I like. Something clicked this weekend. I get it now. Nick Drake rules. Any of you terds in here into Nick Drake? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't mind that one song from the VW commercial.. 'pink moon' or something. haven't tried any of his other stuff tho, is it mostly similar? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, Five Leaves Left is awesome. If you like Pink Moon, you'll like the rest of his stuff. Fave Drake song- Saturday Sun. Mmm, relaaaaaaxxxxxinnnggggggg... zzzz...zzzz |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Should I start with Five Leaves Left? Buying the Pink Moon album just seems... gauche, somehow. Like I'm going to listen to it in my Cabriolet. I'm liking more non-electronic music these days--Pavement, Pixies, Miles Davis, John Lee Hooker, Joni Mitchell, some black metal.... just got Ungentle Exhumation by Cryptopsy, finally released on CD at long last!!! |
||||||||

I'm checking him out now for the first time via Five Leaves Left, sounds good. A little more folky than I'm used to but I can dig it. |

Fruit tree - what a song |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Nick Drake songs are so unique. It is a shame he killed himself. His music is so beautiful. Every music collection should contain at least one Nick Drake CD. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lovely lovely music something about it seems so genuine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fruit tree is just so good.. i have "way to blue: an introduction to nick drake", it's compilation, and i like every song on there.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, Which Will, From the Morning, Fly...My favorites...From the Morning is stormy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
something about them finding a hidden/secret nick drake album recently it's out in the u.k.? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought they found a new track and stuck it in with a load of ureleased tracks on a side note nick drake is my guitar jeebus |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get this... Brad Pitt is going to be prresenting a documentarry about him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That was broadcast a couple of weeks ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahh.. was it any good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It was OK, just the usual stuff -- interviews with Joe Boyd, Gabrielle Drake etc. I don't think there was anything new in there, other than Tow The Line, which is a pretty unremarkable track really (at least on first listen). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he did not kill himself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that's what his mother keeps telling herself too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nick Drake did kill himself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Uganda rebels killed Nick Drake. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love Nick Drake!! how can you be so sure Anus_Presley? i mean we know "what" killed him, but wether or not he wanted it that way we will never know...and we can speculate for ever...i must admit i go for the suicide version though... his Biography is very nice to read, though a bit sad... HAHAHA your avatar tricked me there Peter File! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it seems prretty desperrate to suggest otherrwise. clutching at strraws. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i see what you mean and i agree...... but it wasnt a massive overdose or anything wich is why some people "especialy family" veer off a bit.... i dunno :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how did he die? my dad's always been a nick drake fan, and just lately there's been loads (i exaggerate!) of media coverage. Is it just because of that 'new' nick drake release? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
beautiful music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
touch me, for i bask in nick drake's reflected glory. 1. he went to the same college I did (Fitzwilliam, Camb), and lived in the same pokey, 1970s, chicken coop room i did in my first year. he hated it at fitzwilliam, it depressed the hell out of him... so of course he wrote loads of great stuff there. 2. a mate of mine (from above college) is his cousin. so there you go. |

I have naked pictures of Gabrielle Drake, his sister. Nick is awesome. Didn't a documentary about his life just come out? He's a bit of an enigma to me, I'd like to see this. Saturday Dayyyy sun... came without warning... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wanna mail me them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pink moon and time of no reply are so nice. the rest of his stuff i just don't like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'one of these things first' is so beautiful, it almost makes me want to cry...good god |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Nick Drake, sounds like the name of yer average boyband member. Surprise me, what kind of music should I think of? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
think of your favourite song and multiply it with 1.000.000 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Okay so that'll be "hit me baby one more time..." times 1.000.000 then. Wicked! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly...could start burning after a while.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he sounds like someone farting in a washing machine. oh wait -- that's autechre. nick drake sounds like music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea i got way to blue best of compilation, like a real wannabe and im consuming it excessively druggy druggy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dl Pink Moon and Bryter Later after seing a television program about him some months ago. I think both are wonderful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'Northern Sky' is a peach of a love song. It has an integrity many songs fail to achieve. Well worth a listen if you are new to his stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nick Drake is ACE.... absolutely ALL of his work is brilliant.... There isn't one bad track of his.... The "pink moon" album is fabulous... I have it on vinyl... and i listen too it at least twice every week... hehe.. Brilliant stuff... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll second that, Chihiro. If anyone here wants to check him out, get Way to Blue. If you like that then you may as well get the box set because you won't regret it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what other artists would you compare to drake? are there other good ones im missing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bump my initial comment still stands |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
same here..i love his music! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've read some facts and stories about drake..but you get some clues from the music itself..i like the story behind 'pink moon' - he just brought the recording to the label and just left it at the doorman's desk..i was hoping to read some interviews, but apperantly he only gave one short interview, and even that one doesn't say much.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah of course he is one of the gratest and all of hes three albums is grate he take me back in time bless |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
picked up five leaves left and bryter layter this weekend not as good as pink moon, but still nice. i think i had to give them a couple listens |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it depends on which album you've heard first which will be your favourite, as you may associate those songs from when you first heard his music. just like most artists really. i adore five leaves left. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that may be the case but the more i listen to five leaves left the more i think it may become my favorite. it's a nice mixture of upbeat things and the slight depressing/negative vibe on pink moon |
