Sublime. But always with an undercurrent of sadness.

We miss you so much, Cynaera...

love this song...

Why is Nick so evocative?

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.

Just love it. This song is similar to the sound track music to "Silent Running" that was done by Peter Schickele (PDQ Bach fame) and Joan Baez. It could seemlessly blend in with it...

I think "Way to Blue" was sort of a best-of CD - it had this song.  Turned me on to Nick maybe 12 years ago.

Nice segue out of Aimee Mann's You Could Make A Killing.   Nick's not really my style but this is a nice enough tune.

I am surprised to see all the great comments. When he went for those high notes I physically cringed and clicked over to see who that was with the awful voice.

To each his own I guess.


Nick had something of a tumultuous life, and spent much of the time during his recordings on anti-depressant medications. His voice isn't the important thing, though, his guitar work and composition is what you should be paying attention to. This is why he is so well thought of.
