Hazey Jane I Lyrics

Lyric discussion by CourtingBlues 

Cover art for Hazey Jane I lyrics by Nick Drake

we all live two lifes, one in front of the world, other inside ourselves, music to me is the language that establishes this second kind of relationship and thanks to folks like Nick Drake, Mark Kozelek, Jeff Buckley, Chan Marshall, Benjaminn Gibbard etcetcetc I feel a lot sane than what I used to be. Hazey Jane i is the most sensible words I've ever read or listen to. Give a good time to Nick and you will know why I'm saying this. His work is beyond the music the lyrics, it goes somewhere deeper. Repeat: This song is more about judging yourself (the word is introspective) not like other music nu-metal posers cursing entire world etcetc.

well said, Courtingblues. Wow, you said that six years ago, yet your comment resonates so clearly right now. It's a timeless clarity, and a timeless fogginess that, I believe, underlies the essence of humanity, embraced in a song like "Hazey Jane." I can't tell you how often I listen to that song.... all of Drake's songs, and think about my own mindset. Buckley too. As for the other artists you've mentioned, I am not familiar, but am definitely going to do a little listen for them. Jackson Browne is another I feel this way...
