Nick Drake Documentary - A Skin Too Few - Part 3

Beautiful photographs.

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

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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

jake1995k What a twat you are. Obviously.

..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.
