"Day Is Done" - Nick Drake

When the day is done
Down to earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything that was lost and won
When the day is done.
When the day is done
Hope so much your race will be all run
Then you find you jumped the gun
Have to go back where you began
When the day is done.
When the night is cold
Some get by but some get old
Just to show life's not made of gold
When the night is cold.
When the bird has flown
Got no-one to call your own
Got no place to call your home
When the bird has flown.
When the game's been fought
You speed the ball across the court
Lost much sooner than you would have thought
Now the game's been fought.
When the party's through
Seems so very sad for you
Didn't do the things you meant to do
Now there's no time to start anew
Now the party's through.
When the day is done
Down to earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything that was lost and won
When the day is done.

Did you miss the string arraingments?

So atmospheric , amazing only with a guitar and his voisce...
-
I really love the way he doesn't refer to himself in this song... as in he doesn't say "I" or "Me", it really gives the impression of him being an isolated observer. Which in essence, he really seemed to be. Beautiful...
-

Genius.

The guitar is phenomenal. Drake's vocals are good, still not smokey enough.

Am I the only one or do others also start to weep when they hear this? It just rips me apart, so true and so tragic...but nonetheless beautiful sadness.

This is so sweetly played. Shivers down the spine!
