Road Lyrics

Cover art for Road lyrics by Nick Drake

It's hard to write simple songs and make them sound good. Nick does it so well.

The more a song uses universal symbols (sun, moon, road, stars), the more it can be interpreted...

One possibility that hasn't been mentioned yet: insomnia. I think I remember reading that Nick was an insomniac...

Also, I love "I can take the road that'll see me through." It's ultimately a song about being true to yourself.
