Drake’s music has drawn many musicians in over the decades, R.E.M have cited him as an influence and the band The Curetook their name from the lyrics in this song – ‘A troubled cure for a troubled mind.’ This classic folk offering from ‘Five Leaves Left’ sets the tone for an understated, yet enrapturing album that interweaves mournful vocals with e...
Another track from Drake’s debut album, ‘River Man’is a folk-jazz fusion of string instruments and musically one of his best pieces of work. ‘Five Leaves Left’ was an album featuring a lot of accompanying musicians – Danny Thompson of folk group Pentangle played double bass on this particular song, with the string arrangement being provided by Harr...
This is the darkest of Drake’s work; recorded just four months before his death and released posthumously, his guitar rings out with typical clarity, but extra ferocity is added to his strumming that hints at his pain. Accompanied by melancholic vocals, the line ‘I’m growing old and I want to go home’ can only hint at the darkness in his mood. It’s...
Nick Drake’s impeccable guitar skills are showcased in this track from his debut album, every note rings out with the cleanest purity as he forebodingly sings ‘safe in your place deep in the earth, that’s when they’ll know what you were truly worth.’ Close companion of Drake, Robert Kirby, provided the string arrangement for this understated yet po...
This song from his 1972 album ‘Pink Moon’ highlights the influence of Romantic poetry on Nick Drake during his time at Cambridge University. ‘I was green, greener than the hill where the flowers grew and the sun shone still, now I’m darker than the deepest sea’ is a line exemplifying Drake’s ability to reduce his crushing troubles down to pastoral,...
‘Do you feel like a remnant of something that’s past?’ muses Drake in this characteristically introspective track from his ‘Bryter Later’ album. String arranger Robert Kirby, described him as the ‘perfect Elizabethan’ and this song encapsulates Drake’s disjointed position in the world he lived in.
Another track from his debut album that featured musical guests, ‘‘Cello Song’ features Claire Lowther on the titular instrument. Bongo drums accompany the strings, and although lullaby-like in sound, this track is another lyrically evocative one, with the heart-rending line ‘If one day you should see me in the crowd, lend a hand and lift me to you...
There is a subtle choice that can be made when listening to Nick Drake’s music; you can either allow yourself to drift away with the mystical essence of his tunes, or you can become steeply aware of the depth of his lyrics. “Things Behind The Sun,” from his final album Pink Moonperfectly showcases Drake’s ironically beautiful take on depression – f...
The final track on Drake’s Pink Moonis an antidote to the desperate starkness of the rest of the album; hope emanates in this track as he sings ‘A day dawned, and it was beautiful.’ This happy sounding song is such a pleasing end to an album so short (it is 28 minutes long in total) that you may feel impelled to listen to the whole thing once more.
The no.1 spot on the top 10 Nick Drake songs list has to go to this track which so perfectly combines Drake’s simple poetry with his lilting, soothing melodies. Richard Thompson takes the lead on guitar for this track released on the Bryter Lateralbum, creating a more upbeat sound than that on “Hazey Jane I”, but once again Drake’s lyrics do not fa...
