Nick Drake Documentary - A Skin Too Few - Part 3

[chrisnluv]

Just Great ! So many artist are like him now, and people want to listen. But then they didn't.

[muzakaly]

Let me sum this up: Nick Drake died of marijuana. They've done studies that have clearly shown that marijuana shuts down sections of the brain that enable people to connect with others. Some people are more sensitive to it - Nick was one of those people. Amazing that no one really points this out. They just didn't know. There's nothing a psychiatrist was going to do. He needed time away from the herb. That's the only thing that would have fixed him.

[bimhead01]

wheither this was a hack or a mistake , someones using my profile info .

and also making derogatory comments thru my profile. if i find out that your the culpprate i want you to know that ill insure your reporting and blocking , comments not even close to my range of grammar , if your going to comment ppls profiles and leave nasty posts make sure your not illiterate 1st.

[akovia]

Nick Drake... A great musician.. Simple as that. RIP.

[bimhead01]

greatly  shit

[akovia]

@bimhead01

Fuck you!

[SALTYWOOFHOUND]

@bimhead01 think you need to strap on your BMW and ride out of town...

[bimhead01]

greatly disturbed genious

[bimhead01]

greatly disturbed vgenious

[bimhead01]

it's verry sad deeply disturbed genious

[ProducShuns]

Man I really wish Nick were here today to see how much people appreciate his music now....

[Blake788]

search nicolas and the iceni narrow road to the deep north. they write beautiful songs which have echoes of drake.

[rocktenniscat]

How sad this is...but how glad I am to have "found" Nick Drake just two years ago.

[777i2i]

where is this documentary from? bbc4?

[catoohey]

Or at least mix the strings in the background - they are far too loud....they drown out the guitar and vocal. I wonder if anyone has thought to remaster this?

[raidereddie]

A shooting star, for an instant bright in the sky, quickly trailing off to....nothing.....

[wisesatyr72]

its another lesson us humans have to deal with..to not recognized true aritistry of a genius of songwriter/musician until the person is gone

[Zeokoz]

Back in the 60s and 70s would someone with the popularity of Nick Drake get noticed in the US at all? Even though he stayed in England. What I am trying to ask is if people would get noticed over the pond if they were up and coming musicians? Or was touring/moving to the US, or any other country for that matter, the only way to really get noticed?

[sistersteel]

this hazy, lazy Jane finds his music very moving and hauntingly sweet.

[sneezepal]

I assume Nick Drake is laughing his ass off in the Afterlife at all of the interest in him now. Godspeed, Nick. Thanks for the wonderful music.

[jgalloghly]

I don't think Nick's head wasn't in the right frame of mind to leave England to go anywhere. England inspired him. And I don't the US would have appreciated him more at all. He was attracted to his beautiful depression I believe. Just like Stephen Fry said recently. Also a lyric from the Cage album, 'Hells Winter'.

[celiabonheur]

J'aime bcp son travail. Ces que l'ai connu, aussi l'aime. je suis sûr. Il avait la musique en sa l'âme.

[deepenhancer]

Nick should had leave England for US...he didn't deserved this end

[jazz4]

Typically American.

[meshumekha]

Nick Drake should have never left England. That was what inspired him so much. Pink Moon, Northern Sky, River Man. You are clearly not listening closely enough.

[deepenhancer]

Because english audience didn't appreciate him. British folk and rock scene at that time was occuped bt Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and so on... He was a genius and people mocked of him. He was depressed and for me depressed people should leave their depressed habits and find a new life. In the case of Nick after the third album he should have leave UK and fly to US. Nick's music is a little folk music so US audience would appreciate him. John Boyd was also american so he could help Nick in US.

[deepenhancer]

Maybe he could be successful in US who knows? He was a very shy and privat person.

[meshumekha]

No matter when he came to his end, he was too far ahead of his time to be appreciated on either side of the pond. He was too innovative for anyone at the time, he was too good for any of us. Who knows, perhaps he knew that suicide would make people appreciate his music.

[deepenhancer]

He seems to be a romantic character. A kind of keatsian beautiful and tragic character.

[meshumekha]

From what I've read and heard about him, this certainly seems to be true. I just disagree that the US would appreciate him anymore than England. I think he would have been better off if he were to isolate himself and just write as much as he could. It would have been a bit better for him than going somewhere else where he could be ignored.

[gadget133]

I think it's all pretty much irrelevant. His life was his life. He will most certainly be remembered for the genius he gifted the world no matter where he decided to shop that genius. But I do agree with you, I certainly do not believe he was "mocked" by the British people. He just was not known to anyone outside of the music industry.

[PeanutGalaxy]

Whats the last song at 8:36 called?

[joeburton77]

'know'

[AndyB1286]

Not that this is majorly important, but it might be of interest to anyone who's seen this clip and is a fan of Nick's music - the lines at 7:46 appear to be the lyrics to "Time of No Reply" (which ironically is one of Nick's happier-sounding songs).

We love you Nick :-)

[omadaw]

At 7.40 is umbelieavable that he could come up with such a thought.... How can one write verses and music so so profound and believe in failure???? He was a geniun... RIP

[83lite]

I loathe people who talk through performances by really awesome artist. Why can't people just hush and listen when someone is talking or playing a beautiful song for them? Geez!

[lynus111]

Some where, but the whole tragic genius is so worn out, especially when it allows idiots like Pete Dochery to transcend to hero status

[andreasegde]

Beautiful photographs.

[joeburton77]

except his depression was at its worst when he was 26! he obviously didn't grow out of it - you don't grow out of depression!!!!

[lynus111]

Well lots of people do grow out of it, many do with a change in circumstances and support (for example) I had it until it was 28, and worked through it. The funny thing was he was depressed because he was not getting the fame he wanted...so it was all for personal selfish gain anyway, he wasnt depressed for world famine or peace, he was depressed because he couldnt grow up and accept reality that the world wasnt all about him and his needs..his family even say this in this documentry.

[StrongHeartLives]

What the fu*k? If his pain was about anything it wasn't about wanting fame and personal gain. It is not and never will be selfish to be depressed. It is a result of looking deeply at life. if you look good and hard at the cracks and crevices - you might not come out of it, but if you do you'll have an insight that is a blessing for all to hear. I couldn't venture to guess what perpetual thing was eating at him, but he wasn't a child wanting fame and fortune.

[lynus111]

Have you seen Joe Boyds comments and interviews about them trying to get him to promote himself, and him complaining that he wasnt selling, do you know what final song "hanging on a star " was about. It wasnt the only reason of course, but its a fact he was depressed (in part) because he wasnt being recognised, John Martyn also commented on this as did others who knew him at the time. Sorry if this pops the romanticzed bubble. Anyone making a record wants some kind of fame and recognition.

[StrongHeartLives]

Being disillusioned about a career in music, or money or fame may be a tiny part of it, but that doesn't cause such a serious depression. The song hanging on a star is about unfulfilled promises or dreams, but that seems to me like he's only reflecting on it. If it is really about whats troubling him, the meaning will go much deeper than not selling enough records. It's just realistic to know that very serious depression revolves around issues of love, trust, and a search for meaning.

[lynus111]

I didnt say it was the main reason, I think Nick simply suffered from alienation that is quite common of shy people of his age trying to find thier way in the world, making the leap from childhood dreams to the realities of adulthood. I didnt say Fame was his only reason at all, but I said it played a part, Joe Boyd, John Martyn and His school friend in another documentry all touched upon it. Personally I think if Nick had of survived a few more years he'd findpeace, but thats another story.

[hazelpoet]

i've grown out of depression joe. people do come out of it. and to do so one must grow, which is a result of the acsension from the depths.

[hikupoopoo]

no in fact your brain becomes addicted to the chemicals that make you sad emotinal states are addictive

[StrongHeartLives]

Some do, some don't. If you off yourself you don't have a chance to grow out of it obviously, but sometimes something clicks something someone says opens you up or you make a conscious decision to do something different. Interaction with people + laughter can be a sign of things turning around - and sometimes the person afflicted could try something tremendously difficult like trying to make a stranger smile at the store. The small bits of effort go a long way.

[louisorleans]

jake1995k  What a twat you are. Obviously.

[reneecalling]

..yeah he got though to me too. Nick Drake seemingly was a tragic figure who wasn't able to cope with those types of situations with audiences; because most bands even today get started by touring even today. That's how you get the feedback. I can empathize with the depression and insomnia he suffered during his life.  I just wished he had the right people in place to guide him along the way. He had so much potential and his death need not be.

[NickthunderFlip]

he got through to me

[grandcranium]

Bryter Layter is singly responsible for my dislike of the saxophone.

[mrskujellifeddy]

you should probably listen to "A Love Supreme," might change your mind. It's a case of everything in its right place. I agree; sax has no place in Nick's music

[nandho5]

Why gays always think people who doesn't marry are all gays? Seems that gays can't think about life without sexual implications...Poor people...

[SmileyWhiplash]

I love Pink Moon to death, and his other albums as well, but I have to agree with the others down there. Lose the sax. I much prefer the un-orchestrated and un-edited sound of Pink Moon to say, Made to Love Magic. But that's just me. I love listening to just Nick Drake and his guitar.

[wcduke]

Yes, I am gay and proud. However, I do not generalize about any group of people, including my own. It's unfortunate that you make such generalizations, for it is only showing your ignorance and fear. I was speculating, and I do not necessarily believe that Nick was gay, although it is a possibility. Peace to you, and I hope you find compassion in your life.

[bluesborn]

I think some of the comments here are a bit insensitive to the sad situation this brilliant artist found himself in.Manic Depression is a terrible affliction that requires serious treatment and I believe Nick fit the bill.Jimi Hendrix also suffered from depression.

[jake1995k]

He wasn't a manic depressive. He had Major Depressive Disorder.

That said, he was one of Beelzebub's servants. He obviously was trying to get people to commit suicide with his music.

[theashtabulaspirits]

Lose the sax solo!!

[Cunctando]

Yeah, it's a bit soft jazz; nothing like as moody and edgy as his guitar playing. He was great, wonderful reserved energy.

[nastymofoeyou]

totally agree. The sax sux's

[corysmolly]

why do people focus on the negative.. all that matters to us now is how moving his music is...

[ViGat0r]

indeed, i guess that in the end he really got through to people as he wanted :)

[fuzzy8mike]

If that were true then perhaps we wouldn't be at this place in cyberspace now .The music is what it is, the origins of it perhaps irrelevent to some listeners, that being a trait of it's evoking nature.

[stereosavalas]

We all love Nicks music and he was incredibly talented. But he was also a spoilt little middle class brat. A few years working in the freezing cold on a building site carrying bricks up ladders would have sorted him out. Musicians almost always struggle and we always, at some point, get spoken over and ignored.. it's hard, but if you don't like it, get a f...in job! Sorry, but sometimes the whole Nick Drake story gets frustrating.. he was a grumpy little tof who wrote beautiful music.

[joeburton77]

another person with absolutely no understanding of depression!!

[samizdat45]

@joeburton77 michel foucault once said that suicide, in the classical sense, was an english fallacy. "the english kill themselves even when theyre happy"... may not be entirely wrong...existential crisis couldnt have helped...i know my suicide attempt was brought about by that...

[cateatdog99]

I agree stereosavalas. I love Nick Drake's music as much as the next person. But the image people like to potray as a tourtered artist is over the top and can be misleading. A lot of artists like to romance their feelings of being that of a melancoly nature. Most musicians, would be grateful that they had the backing of so many people striving them on to give them a chance

[stereosavalas]

Wow! Thought I was gona get roasted for that comment! Man, I've worked my whole life as a musician and have struggled and still struggle. I've done all kinds of hard labour to survive, I certainly couldn't run back to mummy cus Island Records sent me on a tour i didnt like! haha. He was an oncredible musician and it's a shame he's still not here.

[MrPelicanPants]

Just checked out your music on My Space out of curiosity. Now I understand why you made this comment. You cannot relate to a genius at all.

[stereosavalas]

Hahahaha nasty!!

I'm not claming to be a genius pelican pants, nor does genius have to mean socially inept. I wouldn't even class Nick Drake as genius.. he was a great folk singer songwriter.. but hardly genius. Don't get ur pelican pants in a twist! :)

[MrPelicanPants]

Hehe sorry I just couldn't resist. All I meant by it was that by the sound of your music, I don't think you put the time and effort and passion into it that Nick did. He didn't work a day job much, so that meant all the more time he focused on his music. People are not born masters, and he definitely was a master of his craft. It's okay if you disagree. It's just that your suggested way to "fix" him is far easier said than done.

And don't worry, I didn't lose any sleep over it by any means. ;)

[stereosavalas]

The music you heard is music I wrote for a film. I'm actually a full time musician who has put my heart and soul into acheiving my goal. At times I have had to work day jobs in shitty conditions to be able to pay the rent, but luckily not now. I certainly never ran back to my mums when the going got tuff... I dug in and now live a good life, releasing records, touring eruope and recording for TV and film. I may not be a genius, but time, passion and effort I cartainly have put in.

[stereosavalas]

P.S. I agree Nick Drake was a master of his craft, but that does not make him a genius. Anyway, no matter.. in the end we are both fans of his music... so lets shake hands and appreciate that we have that in common. :)

[MrPelicanPants]

Yeah, I suppose genius was a bit much, but master he was, and ahead of his time I firmly believe. And I feel now like I've insulted a brother, a fellow musician and music lover, and I judged too hastily and harshly based on a few songs. For that I sincerely apologize. :)

[bluesenseirecords]

hahaha no worries pelicanpants.. no offence taken. I checke your finger picking stuff, sounding good man.. cheers :)

[baillou2]

Words like Genius miss the point. Nick was someone with something to say and the ability to say it.

On a personal note, his music means more to me than any other musicians by far. It always has. This is what people are trying to say, I think.

In any case I don't think you can quantify Genius; certainly not when it comes to Nick Drake.

[chrisadamsuk]

I guess when a top producer you have worked with says about you.

" i think he was probably the only genius i have ever worked with"

bingo

[teamhowdy]

the only person i see on the same level as him is elliott smith

[tacitadean]

yes, I'm sure years spent carrying thousands of tons of bricks on freezing cold construction sites would have done wonders for Nick - and surely would have improved his song writing and playing ability too. You're a fucking tard.

[slothedog]

I was saying that some hard labour may have helped him appreciate what he had, it tends to do have that effect on you. Do a years building, then cancel a tour promoting your new record with Island cus people are talking while you play.... I never said it would help his songs or playing.. It may help you too and your stinking attitude.

[yousmackface]

Woody Guthrie was a transient laborer for a time and saw the extreme poverty in the united states among hard working people.

there's no shame in that.

[LimpLoser]

Suicide . he is probably a complete skeleton by now.

[thingy86]

it hasn't been proven that it was suicide.

[LimpLoser]

thingy86. true.

[WhereAreYouArienette]

That comment was terrible, but what's even more terrible is the fact that it made me laugh out loud. I love Nick Drake, I just have a cynical sense of humor.

[eaglenow5]

everybody is speculating but we will never know what he was feeling...

[loic1457]

the stories about drugs and homosexuality are totally absurd! listen to his family ! he felt something like a spleen, nothing could make him really satisfied that's all

[soflaw]

We live in society where disturbed people are always looking for a way to engender sympathy and legitimacy for serious problems. If that means speculating about some tragic figure without any facts, so be it. Victimizing Nick Drake on a theory that he was a latent homosexual is both sickly opportunitsitc and reckless license to interfere with the privacy of the man and his family. Such homosexual speculation is sick and sad.

[iainlbc]

this is a VERY well written comment...

[tedbovis]

wcduke shouldn't be called an idiot.

His post was perfectly ok.

[stuartjamesgemmell]

I think he was just really shy...

If he had of done interviews and promos he would of been massive.

[jahzeal]

I just found out about NICK , I LOVE his music. I think he wanted to bring out a passion and people and use his music to do so; depressed that he couldnt bring about that urge of fevor and passion and felt like he felled like his mother said. Not every can bear not being accepted for what they loved and wished to be accepted for.

[minutegongcoughs]

How an artist of Nick Drake's talent was missed first time round is one of absolute shame. As someone said, to miss an album or a song can be forgiven in circumstances, but not a whole lifes work of this quality.

[hollandinabox]

wcduke is an idiot..

[wcduke]

Nah, you're just showing your ignorance now. My first comment was statistically true. For you to assert that I'm an idiot for quoting statistics which can be verified only shows that you're an idiot.

[Punorss]

Nick would compartmentalize his life.

Thats also true for people who have autism especially Asperger's syndrome.

But I dont want to go down that road.

Did any of Nicks friends think he was gay?

[wcduke]

I don't think so, and if they did, would they say so in front of a camera which was filming a documentary about his life? Also, people's sensitivity to the gay culture was nothing compared to today, so many people were ignorant about what to look for or suspect.

[WhereAreYouArienette]

Well suicide should be more prevalent among stupid people.

A) him being gay has absolutely nothing to do with the loss the world suffered in his absence

B) his suicide has nothing to do with the greatness of his music.

and C) he was an honest, open minded, free spirit. I'm sure he wouldn't have had a problem coming out if he was gay.

and D) His music contains no homosexual references. You have no reason to speculate such a thing. You are just being a douche.

[supermaaannnn1]

hehe i love how you done this proppa good speech then added the word "douche" at the end.

[Punorss]

It could have been the drugs. Dope can fry your brain big style if you smoke it like it is going out of fashion like they did in the 60's

[wcduke]

Yup, it could have been the drugs, you are absolutely correct. OR, it could have been the fact that he was feeling isolation and depression due to him POSSIBLY being gay. If you watch both documentaries here on YT, there is one person who talked about how Nick would compartmentalize his life. This is also very common very closeted-gay youth. I'm not saying he absolutely was gay, but it's possible, and if anyone reading this has a problem with that, ask yourself why. It's your problem, not mine.

[captainstreachmark]

amazing person,amazing music. anti depresents take your emotions away, just flat line you. He couldnt get back to himself. so sad

[miracleman27]

Has anyone been able to find this documentary to buy? I tried borders and barnes and noble, best buy and all nothing

[joeburton77]

i think it comes with the family tree boxset

[joeburton77]

sorry, it is actually the 'fruit tree boxset' - it is on amazon online store

[miracleman27]

Thanks I'll look for it

[vaineminaru]

is that drake on alto?

[savagenoble7]

i know he could play but i think he just let other musicians play piano and sax and he just focused on guitar

[ASamGreenExperience]

whats the song at 8.39?

[clucaspik]

That's the song KNOW from Pink Moon.

[skdlsaa]

it's 'know' from the album Pink Moon.

[ambrookers]

I've just come to know of this man today and I'm deeply touched by his music and the impression of him as a person. It's scary how many similarities we share. :( I cried throughout this documentary and while reading about his life. It's amazing when you think no one in the world suffers quite the way you do, and yet, you find someone who does (did). Thank you Nick for your music. You may be gone, but you shall never be forgotten.

[Tubenjunge]

my intentions actually was to write sth...but you already said exactly what i wanted to say.

[Melopeed]

You should meet and have a coffee, that's what Drake would've wanted.

[penta15786]

What matters most is how much you produce in the time you have on the earth. Nick did a lot more in his 26 years than most. Although I feel sad at times, I feel delighted too that he left us a lot of his music.

[C0YS18]

hahaha true, but not enough....3 albums, 2 amazing, one slightly rushed but with some jems.....and half a dozen unrealised......not enough for me

[lsdmadman]

in a world without lunkheads as the norm he woulda been a bard and poet known and respected

[DORKSTICKS]

"One happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is worth all the suffering and effort which life implies."

May you live every day of your life.

[OokamiGen]

The sister said: "nick became more silent as he saw more." What did she mean by that?

[bdriz16]

As someone with depression myself, that part made me cry...hard. As Nick saw more (meaning that he felt he was getting nowhere in life and people didn't appreciate his music as much which was his only goal to attain to achieve happiness) he became literally and metaphorically silent in life. I could go on, but there is a character count.  I'll tell you more about what I think if you want me to.

[adamzennerman]

i have depression as well and i took that part as-some of us see things others can't because perhaps there is a depth, a channel that goes deeper into things. i wake up with demons everyday and i am learning to make friends with them..i hope you can too..

[bdriz16]

I'm trying, but I have way too many demons to conquer. I can't make friends with them. I wake up every morning not being able to handle even getting out of bed because I feel completely dead inside. I attempted suicide a year ago but it failed. I don't see the point in life anymore. Depression deprives me of things that I used to enjoy.

I'm in danger...I hope something good happens soon.

[nabooster]

I hope some good things happen for you too! You sound like someone that deserves it :-)

[adamzennerman]

that is intense....i dont know what to say to that. i want to say your depression is a symptom of the state of mind, it is not who you are. does that make any sense. i realize no one can really help you but you. what makes you feel great in life? is there anything you love to do or create?

[beshameless]

i don't know your exact situation, but i can give you my input, myself having been suicidal just two and a half months ago.

i was very sick, physically/emotionally - and in that state of mind that day, no one could help me free of how i felt - except me - i had no choice but to think of something i still AUTHENTICALLY wanted to achieve in life that i hadn't -so i thought of it, and it pulled me right out of it. you can't trick you're mind in desperate moments -ask yourself what you want,truly.

[beshameless]

CONT: i know you'll be fine - just remember -EVERYTHING is temporary - 'everything is just for now' - the good and the bad.

if you want to chat just message me. if you don't, then i hope you find your purpose for living - just one is all you need.

[deapestsea]

HI OokamiGen: I think whast Gagrielle meant was that people who with depression use to see things in a different way, people with depression are often more realistic than the "well-adjusted". I think she meant he saw too much and too long into himself.

Dear bdriz16 there are many reasons to decide staying in this world, I am sure you will find yours...just keep fighting don´t give up

[7SteVo24]

You'd be amazed at what regular exercise can do

[juiceTAP]

I'm glad you've discovered him....pass it on

[beshameless]

i'm new to him - is he dead? when, how?

[Fenceposthead]

look for him at "wikipedia".tells the story.

[FunkyWorm3288]

Yep very much dead - 1974, Drug Overdose

[beshameless]

thanks - i looked it up - sad story - he died at my age - weird

[JimBobway25]

dont get any ideas...

[beshameless]

lol - no, thanks for that. i like to think i've got a couple of things i wanna do first!

[beshameless]

by the way - are you really 106? just interested

[JimBobway25]

ever seen anyone over 70 that could comment on youtube?

[beshameless]

hey man, always expect the unexpected

[beshameless]

hey man, always expect the unexpected

[Stillillgal]

i dont know why but i actully started to cry when "day is done" started to play

[blaydrunner]

A tragic genius who's songs and ideas were way ahead of their time. Don't worry Nick...you did finally reach us.

Rest in Peace.

[spirtw72]

It's interesting that Joe Boyd was connected to two tragic and greatly gifted musical souls, Nick and Syd. He's seen a lot.

[BaudeLaire78]

Nick Drake = Genius

[nickstep]

so sad

[rabbitfood000555666]

"Day Is Done" was a king among masterpieces..

[HotRats86]

I agree, His persona and music have a very strong spiritual sense and quality...Its eerie, its as if he knew what was going to happen to him, consciously or subconsciously....How he used to sit at home and just stare at the wall, and the lyrics to from the morning ' and now we rise/ we are everywhere/ Now we rise from the ground '. He was tapped into something unexplainable.

[yakacm]

It @ times like this that words don't seem to be enough. Everything about Nick Drake is strange and other worldly, it make you belive in a spirtual side to human existance more than any religion could, the fact the no one bought his records @ the time, and people would be quite @ his shows, is just part of the story. He seem to show a climpse of another world as though he was sent us for a feeting moment he didn't seem to leave any mark apart fom his recorded music.

[AKAZOLA]

what happened to the last piece of the second part - where his sister was reading the leter from cambridge - Am i missing a piece?

[ubmx]

there are 2 users who have this online...all the ones for this user are around 9min

[davenewsome100]

Day is Done is such a beautiful song. It fits really well here with the images of Nick's home.  Just down the road from me. A pilgrimage is due.

[futuristfood]

that sounds delightful.

tommy oxoo

[devilsclickingcanes]

Chrissakes, Nick Drake made good music. Very good stuff. Thank you for this documentary.

[HorhaeLePoi]

As Timeless as it was in the 1970's

[DesolationRow0]

probably the most underated artist of our time... so good..

[hrtsdsd4]

Q magazine have just agreed with you! They have run a feature on the top 30 most underrated artists and Nick has topped the poll.

[Pibbs1]

Thanks for posting this. Hopefully, the powers that be, will come to their finanacial differencies, and allow this to be finally released in 2007,after 7 long years.

Nick, you left us all way too soon... : (

[krusher1977]

Finally the 3rd part

[wigginsdesign]

Nicks music effected instantly in the early 70's. And to this day I can cry listening to his music. I think I felt a deep sad sense nostalgia & melancholy as much then as I do now when I hear him. It's timeless. Happy people finally learned of him

[Brandigz]

Very well put. It's as if his music has slowly eroded cultural barriers to ears, an unnecessary levee. I listen and I hear the reverberations of the essence of this music, which is ultimately authentic individual descriptions of his mind's eye. And how clearly he saw...
