ah, i regularly enjoy some nick drake. all his albums are first class, but particularly pink moon. "place to be" is no doubt one of the finest songs i've ever heard.

I love his music, and lyrics.
Place to be really speaks to me too.

Quote:

When I was younger, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now Im older see it face to face
And now Im older gotta get up clean the place.

And I was green, greener than the hill
Where the flowers grew and the sun shone still
Now Im darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be.

And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought Id see when day is done
Now Im weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you.

How about Leonard Cohen? His early stuff is similar.

Yet another Nick Drake fan here.

My favourite song of his is "Black-Eyed Dog". Haunting lyrics and a perfectly sparse guitar.

The Nick Drake Files is a great Drake resource, if you want to know more about the man.

We love Nick Drake. Les isn't a Cohen fan, but one of my favourite tracks is 'The Future' (from Natural Born Killers).

'Take the only tree that's left, and stuff it up the hole in your culture' Splendid lyric, makes me smile every time!
