Cover art for Way to Blue lyrics by Nick Drake

I understand that the majority of people would say '' blue can't be related to sadness because he won't try to get it intentionally'',well, that's a reasonable thought, but there another way to see the messagge of this song: nick would get depressed about how stupid things are in this stupid and material world full of stupid and unsensitive people, and he could only find happiness by his own in nature. Hence,''If you know the way to blue?'' means, after enumerateing a few nature element like the sun, the trees, the softly breeze, he's saying ''how can you feel down among these beautiful things?'' It'slike a process he would do after feeling down, he would go to a park, sit under the trees, just like Baudelaire's Recollection, and feel well again
