Cover art for Time of No Reply lyrics by Nick Drake

This song is what Nick Drake is all about. If I were going to introduce a friend to his music it most likely be with this song. It's like Elliott Smith and his song Independence Day. It's just him in his purest form and that's what this is. I prefer the original version but I like listening to the one on Made to Love Magic, too.

I think this song is about how he is detached and can't speak because he is so ill in the mind as bibis817 stated with the depression.

Drake is a legend. He inspires people every day.
