Hi, Alexander! ...Hi Sunny! Thanks for popping by.<br /><br />Hi, Alexander! I am delighted that you have become a devotee of all that is Nick Drake.

Hearing that song River Man for the first time, was quite an experience. Such depth in that music. It touches on so many levels. Melancholy, but accompanied by the secretly cherished peace that travels alongside human Melancholy, which makes it something we rather enjoy deep down. Since hearing it, I checked out a few of his other songs and find myself quite addicted to "Fruit Tree".<br /><br />Around one minute 55 into it, and until 2 minutes 55, it transforms into something almost Arabian in musical style, and it is incredibly striking. In ways, the song reminds me of Eleanor Rigby, because it is said that the Beatles used a Medieval musical formula (intentionally or unintentionally) in that song, which makes it stand out as so unique.<br /><br />Perhaps Nick was playing with us in a similar way, with Fruit Tree? One thing is for sure, when somebody puts such magic into a song like that, they are after my own heart. Great composition.Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397626491276187854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658606.post-90386697598206166162006-10-12T15:03:00.000+01:002006-10-12T15:03:00.000+01:00Check out for "Brittle DAYS: A Tribute to NICK DRA...Check out for "Brittle DAYS: A Tribute to NICK DRAKE" album -- it may already have been deleted though...
