| Nick Drake – From The Morning Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
There is much duality represented. Rising from the ground (day dawning) and endless colored ways seems to be a flower blooming or a good memory.The air at night is beautiful brings to mind photosynthesis (funny I know) as the night air would be clean. Blooms are what we are; like a flower. At night she falls and flies all around is a flower closing up at night or perhaps the pollen flying around. I also get the impression of romance in this song to perhaps the playfulness of sexuality. There is a vibe here of being so liberated in spirit that a rebirth or transformation has occurred. Out of body. He is involved but enjoys observing her spirit uplifted. He is like a painter that paints himself as a small character in the scenes. So much humility. |

| Nick Drake – Time of No Reply Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| To me this song defines stillness. Drake relates himself to a tree as it stands in longing. The tree is still with nothing (including) the wind to stir it. Drake is a seeker in this song but has received no message from nature as all is passing and still. He is immobile as a tree but poetically dreaming and hoping as a tree is grounded, wise, aging and looking to the sky for its replenishment. A very simple depiction of the very human emotion of uncertainty. Poets such as Drake are so fragil as they are truly connected to the art all around them. "there is no hello and no good bye" defines the tree without spring or fall rather in between the perpetual seasons. "for me there is no way" defines Drake stands and waits for a direction and perhaps his next purpose. He gave us his journols in his songs. Beautiful. | |
