His room is quiet now. The bed is neatly made. A picture of
a rough-and-tumble sea storm is framed over the bed. His
old school desk, complete with coffee stain and pen, is
pressed against a far wall. Volumes of Chaucer, Blake,
Flaubert and Shakespeare peer down from a corner bookshelf.
An old-fashioned radio sits ready and lonesome. His shirts
are carefully folded in his dresser; his black sportcoat
hangs loosely in his closet. Nick Drake isn't coming home
tonight.
His songs cast an eerie spell on first-time listeners. They
hold you in their grip, and rarely let go. It's not only
that Nick Drake has produced some of the finest melodies
and lyrics ever to grace the spiral grooves of a record, or
that he worked with some of the best musicians in the
business, or More...
Review about Nick Drake Our Wedding Song May 01, 2010 | Reviewer: Simone
------ About the song Northern sky performed by Nick Drake
This is the most beautiful song, its relaxing and graceful. We heard it on U-Tube attached to a wedding video and we fall in love with it. It will be our wedding song when we marry in Hershey, PA May 1, 2010

------ About the song Day is done performed by Nick Drake
Heard the song for the first time in British TV-series Heartbeat, when Phil Bellamy, one of the series long lasting characters (16 seasons + a few episodes of season 17), come to his end. That was a sad moment, but the song fitted into it and made instantly to look for it. Probably because of the way I first heard the song, it hits as a sad one, but also with its good lyrics and rhythm. Good "sad ballade" type of song.
Nick Drake - Three Hours | Reviewer: James
------ About the song Three hours performed by Nick Drake
Nick wrote the song about his friend Jeremy Mason when they went travelling in Aix (France) in the mid/late 60's.
After he wrote the song Nick played it for Jeremy who said "..it's great nick but whats it about.."
nicks apparent reply was "..If you don't know Im not going to tell you."
It is true that an artist lives for fame and if a man of the genius of Nick doesn't get it, it might really hurt.
But you and your music will remain in our hearts forever. People who really listen to their heart and soul will always strike chords with your music.

------ About the song Three hours performed by Nick Drake
I am so in love with Nick Drake. I've been listening to him really since Garden State came out--thank you Zach Braff--and I'm definitely in love with him. His music is absolutely incredible. I agree with Mr. O'Reilly in the last comment--everything on "Made to Love Magic" is incredible anyway, and of course the version of "Three Hours" is breathtaking. I miss Nick Drake as well.

------ About the song Cocaine blues performed by Nick Drake
thats the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
If you'd ever take the time to read his biography before you write such an childish comment , you'd know better. And comparing him to heath ledger?
I'll cry for Nick Drake and maybe Heath too , and you can speak for yourself.And if Nick is a symbol of spoiled youth, so what? It only shows that money can't buy happiness..

------ About the song Harvest breed performed by Nick Drake
This song- about new beginnings is touching in its simplicity. It doesn't need backing instruments-- although a bit short at only 1:35 it's beautiful for its sparseness.
Fruit Tree / Nick Drake | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Fruit tree performed by Nick Drake
This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written. The melody and lyrics coming together to create a melencholy and reflective piece of work that moves me to tears. Anyone not familiar with Nick Drakes work is missing out. A must.
Nick Drake is just purely awing.
The feeling in his songs just sweep me off my feet.
The sound is so reassuring yet saddening.
A true talent.

------ About artist/band Nick Drake
The world of art has many tragic stories of the incredibly talented being persecuted by inner torment. Such is the case with Nick Drake. Though we're blessed with the wondrous music he left us with, I can only imagine how his songs and his vision would have grown and evolved over the years.
I'm sorry I never met him.
I'm sorry I never got to hear him play.
I'm sorry I never will.

------ About artist/band Nick Drake
I just discovered Mr. Drake this morning. Listening to his music, his words, I feel what he felt. I have never come across a musician such as he. Pure emotion captured in guitar and vocalization. He is brilliant. I wish I could have known him.
Superb Song | Reviewer: Richard Dawson

Talent that is missed. | Reviewer: Richard O'Reilly
------ About the song Three hours performed by Nick Drake
There are some different versions of this work of art. It is only in the last year that i have listened to Nick Drake. I think you need to listen to the "Made To Love Magic" album with this song. When you hear the flute it will send you in to a trance. I think its hard ever to know the real meaning of a song, unless you ask the person who wrote but even then it will mean something else to you.
A fantastic tune by Nick Drake, gives you the perfect automn feeling, wich warms your soul and body completely.
As well as the melody, the lyrics of the song is rarely fine, as Nick Drake himself could have said;
"In the eye of the compopser, is wich to I might have died for."
posthumous fame is only that the true genius is way too ahead of their time. it is a lonely place when nobody else gets it.
