Makes me wonder what universe I've been in all those days.
Thank's Nick for leaving such a legasy.
Wherever you are.

I was thirteen in 1969 - I knew that stuff was taking place, but at the time, I was too self-involved to concern myself with it. If it didn't touch me directly, it didn't mean anything to me. I've changed a lot since then, thank goodness. And Nick Drake is still one of my favorite artists, RIP...


We miss you so much Cynaera...

love this song...

strong piece, its tone makes me think of Richie Havens, a smart moving beat

This is probably my fave ND song. That makes it one of my fave songs.

Before I looked this song in particular reminded me of the 70's folk band Tir Na Nog, this is very close and very good!!! {#Bananapiano}

One of the few songs that compel me to stop, pause and so nothing but be enveloped by it. To me it touches something deeply human and very ancient.

This one is soooo good. Think I may have to give it a 10. It's a 9.5, methinks.

ETA: Bumped it up to 10 today.


Me too—took me 18 months longer for some inexplicable reason

At least 3 of the most beautiful minutes of your life you will spend listening to this song. I, too, so wish he were still around.

Nick reminds us why we need to be true to ourselves. Our contemporaries may not appreciate us, but time will. Spans all issues too. And Zach Braff and RP bring him to us. It does take a village...

I can hear some clipping while this track is playing... His voice is distorted, Bill check your levels or get a better version of this song!

Wow, first time for me. I really like it - very mellow in a good way (I don't usually care for mellow). {#Cheers}

Love this so much, but i just hear the effects of a sharp compressor or someone overeager on a fader "Bill?"

I had NO idea this song dated from 1969. Ashamed to say that it really caught my ear for the first time when I saw the movie "The Blind Side", which uses this song in its opener.
