This song is so painful.. in the lyrics it's like he knows he is about to be passed over for another guy but can't even bear to be specific about that fact.. he just says 'which?' - i'm sure you could go overboard with analysis and say it's not a choice between him and another person, but why complicate matters?
this is my favorite Nick Drake song, because it is sweet wishes for someone perhaps younger, with their whole life, and maybe someone not afflicted with what had burdened him ... but it was also someone he was in love with, maybe, and they seem to have left him alone.
the only thing that annoys me about nick drake songs are that whenever i watch them on youtube there are always so many really gay comments trying to interpret his emotions.. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT.
@TubaGirl01 British people say it when someone is trying to jokingly deceive them "Do you think i'm wound up at the back ?" "Are you trying to wind me up ?"
@BigNoseBlues as it says at the top - you vote for the vid - the song is perfect - people are disliking the actualy vid maybe - monkey as a pet not great angle etc which I agree with in most circs
wow what a haunting song, i first heard it when i played guitar on a cruise ship for my first time, and it brings back my emotions from that ship , wow
Nick was so discouraged about his music not being accepted by the masses. He knew in his heart how good it actually was. He would be delighted at how universally loved it is now. .......Too bad for us he died so young.
@guitarmainly Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
@ohbiggles I get what you are saying, like maybe youtube cheapens it somehow....but if it weren't for youtube and my amazing daughter who investigated WHO that musician was in the AT&T commercial, I would still be ignorant of Nick Drake...and quite frankly, I am richer in my own soul for having expirienced this haunting and beautiful music. PEACE to us ALL!
nick drake nick drake his voice was pure hedidn need his body with his voice he can penetrate from the inner ear of the body .... i would love to see him smile for this unique and tender video of yours
Nick Drake's talent is truely brilliant and unique.....HE HAS inspired me to start writing my own music! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR PASSION WITH THE WORLD NICK DRAKE! When I have my own kids, i'll make sure they KNOW who you are....It's a shame you left this us so soon..... R.I.P.
I love this song!! Went looking for it after i heard it on the BT advert, now one of my favorite songs. Thing is, could anybody tell me what animal that monkey-type thing is?
Super tune! I was introduced to Nick about 4-5 years ago and wonder how I ever overlooked such a phenominal artist(RIP) I am forever indebted to the person who led me there!!!
The girl I adore told me to look this song up while I was at work. It damn near made me cry, seeing how spot on it was. Damn you Nick Drake for reading my mind! I can't listen to him all the time, but it certain moods it's devastating.
At first listenings to Nick's cds a friend gave me I thought, eh, too self-absorbed.... Then one night it (he) hit me....Now I'm addicted. This is another of his very fine songs which I love...Thanks for the post...
just made my day!
