Drake, Nick - 'Cello Song Lyrics
Strange face, with your eyes
So pale and sincere.
Underneath you know well
You have nothing to fear.
For the dreams that came to you when so young
Where spring is sprung.
You would seem so frail
In the cold of the night
When the armies of emotion
Go out to fight.
But while the earth sinks to its grave
You sail to the sky
On the crest of a wave.
Where I belong
I'll just sit and wait
And sing my song.
And if one day you should see me in the crowd
Lend a hand and lift me
To your place in the cloud.

Drake, Nick 'Cello Song Comments
Thank you Nick Drake to continually soothe me through my life with your music. I hope it soothes you also in your next passage of life. X
Angélique.
Mesmerisingly brilliant
you're the Numero Uno!
Thank you Mr Jagr Blood: a magnific discovery. Pure & delicate.
Great Nick.
Simply sent to us to make such beautiful music... And In a cloud he is gone x
Nice artist.
Suggest we hunt down the 3 that don't like it....
man it's 5 now, I think we should start before some other dares.
I'll bring the torches.
7 now. It gets person from here. :3
Great analysis of this song halfway down the page on this essay by Robin Frederick, who wrote "Been Smokin' Too Long," a song Nick covered. I've never understood why no one seems capable of replicating the feeling or sound of Nick's music, but Robin Frederick's descriptions of what made his music so innovative and different go a long way toward explaining this. The two other articles of her's mentioned at the top of the article are also extremely insightful and essential reads for any Drake fan. http://robinfrederick.com/nick-drake-place-to-be/nick-drake-time-of-reply/
Probably because so few have experienced life as Nick did. I'm not sure I would want to. His songs seem to reflect some of his inner self...
deep magick...thanky
'Nick’s Gift'
Some of us recognize the Gift
In others mostly
We spend our time in worry
Of what we usually can’t define
But there are those who seem not to care
Their Gift prevents them from worry
Or so it may seem to us
Why is it that some live life as a river?
Flowing downstream in the moons great plan.
Freedom is the name of the Gift
Grinding out as a cello speaks
But we only hear it, only a little
To be but a poor boy
And live the Gift
That’s the magic.

Beautiful. Thank you 😊
Cuantas personas no conoceré
I was going to post you shit because at first I thought you were Daniel O'Donnell. It's so good you're not Daniel O'Donnell, nobody deserves to be him. I bet your grannys still wanked over him though.
Amazingly beautiful!
such a beautiful song ..my heart is overcome with such emotions as the tears roll down my cheeks ...
Agreed and shared
What a vivid explanation. I feel similarly
Magnificent......With an EPIC finale......
Este tipo era mágico. Lo amo y lo respeto muchísimo.
No beauty this tragic has ever before been laid down in front of me.
A masterpiece.
With this song I remember the Flying Nimbus of Dragon Ball Z
well atleast there's younger fans of nick drake
So amazing, Nick has made some of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard in my life, incredible guy.
Self indulgence my a@@."A singular talent who passed almost unnoticed during his brief lifetime, Nick Drake produced several albums of chilling, somber beauty. With hindsight, these have come to be recognized as peak achievements of both the British folk-rock scene and the entire rock singer/songwriter genre." -- AllMusic.com
Nik Burton I don't see self-indulgence as a bad thing in art. I've actually noticed that some of my favorite art is self-indulgent. How else can someone authentically express themselves if they don't indulge their senses, thinking, and feeling?
Legendary self indulgence!
jealousy haint never purty
Self-indulgence isn't necessarily a bad thing. I adore self-indulgent artists that put all of themselves into their creations.
Self indulgent never sounded so good & he's shared nicely - nothing nice to say scroll on >>>> bro >>>>
Er, wtf?
Thanks Nick. You won't be forgotten.
