Nick Drake

Nicholas Rodney "Nick" Drake (19 June 1948 – 25 November 1974) was an English singer-songwriter and musician, known for his gentle guitar-based songs. He failed to find a wide audience during his lifetime but his work has gradually achieved wider notice and recognition. Drake signed to Island Records when he was 20 years old and a student at the University of Cambridge, and released his debut album, Five Leaves Left, in 1969. By 1972, he had recorded two more albums—Bryter Layter and Pink Moon. Neither sold more than 5,000 copies on initial release. Drake's reluctance to perform live, or be interviewed, contributed to his lack of commercial success. more »

Why leave me hanging on a star?
When you deem me so high
When you deem me so high
When you deem me, so high

Why leave me sailing in a sea?
When you hear me so clear
When you hear me so clear
When you hear me, so clear

Why leave me hanging on a star?
When you deem me so high
When you deem me so high
When you deem me, so high
