At The Chime Of A City Clock Lyrics
Another great song by Nick, I've always assumed it was written after he started university as a look at the way city life seems to him as a boy from the country.
To Cherub Rock: I'm almost envious, if you've only heard Bryter Layter then you still have alot of great material to experience, probably best to get Five Leaves Left next, Riverman alone makes it well worth getting.
And Man in a Shed. Very underrated.
And Man in a Shed. Very underrated.
Anonymity. I think he craved it but was simultaneously frightened by it. As Martel said, he was a country boy, and the anonymity offered by the boondocks is completely different than that provided by the city. The country can offer shelter from the world, but in the city, it's like the world just doesn't notice you there. It's effectively the same thing, but in the city, the comfort's cold.
This song is my calming medicine...I tend to lose my temper sometimes, and amazing how it always works. Thanks, Nick.
My favourite Nick Drake song. I love the Put up your roadblock part.
My favourite Nick Drake song so far (but I've only heard Bryter Layter). Where are the comments? This song is a classic! I love how smooth and easy and atmospheric it sounds.
It is a beautiful song, the lack of comments is pretty ... I dunno the word, saddening maybe. I wish more people would listen to Nick, I love his songs, this one I just heard for the first time today, it's amazingly calming.
Alright, I'll try Five Leaves Left next. I've heard there is plenty of debate about which one is the best (i.e. they're all very good). I've found them cheap too so all the more motivation..
To be completely honest, I don't think I can choose one as my favorite. All albums are truly amazing, even though there were only 3. They are all different in their own way, but magical and inspiring as well. This song is a perfect example of how Nick Drake could write a beautiful song with a beautiful orchestration to back him up.
Green paper. Is that a reference to money or his liking of marijuana?
I love this song, the melody is beautiful
