Remembering Nick Drake

Posted by Campbell at Tuesday, October 02, 2007

Tonight's Lecture Series with Gabrielle Drake, Joe Boyd and Jolie Holland was a treat beyond words. It was kind of like listening to Nick Drake's music - there's really no way to explain it; it just hits you, in a way that no other music does. There has never been an artist like Nick Drake and there likely never will be.

Getting a minor glimpse into Nick's life truly touched me. I walked out and all worries, etc. were temporarily swept away. It all came into perspective. Unreal. Like Nick's music, there's really no reason to summarize what was discussed, mostly because it's all just very abstract and far from concrete. It's all some sort of mystery. As Gabrielle Drake said, "that's just the way it should be".

Noise Pop: Thank you once again.
