For now, I'll give every song of his that I hear a 10, because, well, it's Nick Drake, and it's all I can do to honor him. {#Sunny}
 

We miss you so much, Cynaera...

love this song...

Love how the piano just tries to find a way to squeeze into this song. Successfully, I might add. So many of his songs have that accompanist. did he/she play on other artist's songs or so solo work? Heading to wiki now..

Good point.  "Weird" folks often produce the best art.

Fantastic - with (Velvet Underground's) John Cale on keyboards & a few other instruments to boot.  A classic.

Great lyrics and balancing of melody and counter melody, Nick is pure genius and a must have to any serious collection.
