MR NICK DRAKE...

I WAS LISTENING TO NICK DRAKE WHILE UPLOADING THE LAST POST,
AND COULDN'T HELP BUT THINK HOW AMAZING HE WAS....
HE ONLY HAD TWO ALBUMS AND NONE OF THEM SOLD MORE THEN 5,000 COPIES IN THEIR INITIAL RELEASE...
HE SUFFERED FROM DEPRESSION AND INSOMNIA THOUGH-OUT HIS LIFE...
AND ON THE 25TH OF NOVEMBER 1974, HE DIED OF AN OVERDOSE, FROM A PRESCRIBED ANTI DEPRESSANT. HE WAS 26 YEARS OLD...
ID LOVE IT IF HE WERE STILL AROUND TO MAKE MORE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!

'SO FORGET THIS CRUEL WORLD
WHERE I BELONG
I'LL JUST SIT AND WAIT
AND SING MY SONG
AND IF ONE DAY YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN THE CROWD
LEND A HAND AND LIFT ME
TO YOUR PLACE IN THE CLOUD.'
-CELLO SONG
