I left you out in the English rain
To soak you through, and dilute the blame
Don’t ever wanna hear those words again
You got me high then you swooped so low
From a hummingbird to a silent crow
I was on your side but then i saw it change
I always used to love November
But now it always floods with rain
How can i forgive?
Those words will stain forever
I absolutely adore Nick Drake. I was given a gift over Easter of some rare recordings he did after Pink Moon and I’m so inspired. I feel like I have so much in common with him despite being born a long time after he passed away.
He’s the only artist I can’t listen to and not explain the construction of his song. As a musician and songwriter it’s easy to listen to a song and retrace the composers steps and piece together how and why they wrote it - both sonically and lyrically. Nick Drake is the only artist i physically cannot pick apart, the other thing I can do is listen to him and enjoy him without any understanding. It’s almost as his songs are spherical and I can’t pick a point where everything could unravel from.
His dislike of fame and attention is somewhat similar to my thoughts on everyone knowing who you are. I wish I could be successful but with no one prising into my personal life. I’m hardly anyone at all but a small minority of people seem to really care about small things such as ‘who my boyfriend is’ or ‘if i smoke’ or ‘how much money i have’ when it really shouldn’t be about that. Luckily for me, I dont get much of it at all. The majority of my fanbase is incredibly supportive and I have met some amazing people by doing music! But I can understand how it could break a person, like it did for Nick Drake…
I think everyone should go sit in the dark, with a cup of green tea and listen to this with your eyes closed…

I bought two tickets for Gabrielle Aplin on the 5th of March at King Tuts (Glasgow) does anyone want to buy one of the tickets from me? I’m looking to sell the ticket for £10. The reason I’m only selling one is because I really really want to go but none of my friends are interested, so help a girl out. Message me if you are interested or know someone who might be, reblog etc etc…
signed into tumbles to see THIS on my dash. My dear lord, the people leaving compliments on this have a weird taste in faces :P
