I thought I would share some of my favourite music by Nick Drake with you; an English singer songwriter and musician who sadly died aged 26 in 1974.  I find his songs have a unique and timeless quality that transcends mere words and music. I hope you enjoy his piece of music as much as I do.

  2. I have listened to Nick Drake since a friend introduced his music to me when we were 18, (a long time ago!).

    Words cannot describe how his music makes me feel. It is somehow relaxing while energising at the same time. As you say to describe his songs as 'music' somehow just isn't enough.

    1. I think others who know his songs will also resonate with your sentiments and will think and feel the same.

      My thoughts transcend to a faraway place when I'm listening. I just love his music.
