Drake, Nick - The Thoughts Of Mary Jane Lyrics

Who can know
The thoughts of Mary Jane
Why she flies
Or goes out in the rain
Where she's been
And who she's seen
In her journey to the stars
Who can know
The reason for her smile
What are her dreams
When they've journeyed for a mile
The way she sings
And her brightly colured rings
Make her princess of the sky
Who can know
What happens in her mind
Did she come
From a strange world
And leave her mind behind
Her long lost sighs
And her brightly coloured eyes
Tell her story to the wind
Who can know
The thoughts of Mary Jane
Why she flies
Or goes out in the rain
Where she's been
And who she's seen
In her journey to the stars

It's such a tragedy that his music only truly appreciated after his death and that he was such a troubled person who could never really find a way to find satisfaction with his himself and his life.

that ending ❤️

To the best MaryJane to have ever graced this planet with her presence.

This song is beautiful❤️

Genius... of all genius, another outstanding genius, Nick Drake. When you listen to his music, you draw death. Listening to his music makes me feel the agony of life. How I feel so full of weight in the young friend's voice.


The indelible binge of madness yesterday dizzy hair, arms, legs, and branches And the cold sweat that comes down the back line. It matches Nick Drake's voice.

The dead are said to be silent, but not many of the thousands of people who have left the world at the age of their youth feel that much like it. Randy Rhoads, Tommy Boiln, Jim Morrison, Jimmi Hendrix...

Countless, the sense of death of the geniuses being drawn.
I can't believe the keyboard is so heavy today.


천재.. 수많은 천재중에 돋보이는 또 한명의 천재 닉 드레이크
(Nick Drake). 그의 음악을 듣고 있으면 죽음이 그려집니다. 그

의 음악을 듣고 있으면 삶의 고뇌가 느껴집니다. 그 어린 친구의
목소리에서 어찌 그리 生의 무게가 가득 느껴지는지...


어제도 말릴수 없는 광기의 폭음. 어지러운, 머리와
팔과 다리와 늘어지 모가지. 그리고 등어리 선을 타고 내리는 식은땀의 느낌. 닉 드레이크의 목소리와 어울리는 지금 입니다.


죽은자는 말이 없다고 하였지만, 청년의 나이로 이 세상을 등
진 수많은 사람들 중, 그와 유사한 느낌의 사람은 그리 많지 않습니다. 랜디로즈, 토미볼린, 짐모리슨, 지미헨드릭스...


무수히 그려지는 천재들의 죽음 느낌. 불편한 몸으로 한줄, 한줄, 힘겹게 두드리는 키보드위의 자판이 오늘따라 이리 무거울 줄이야........

A shooting star...

The haunting songs that seem to come from my OWN heart but were born years before my physical existence on this plane. Thank you for posting this.

Best marijuana song ever, outweeded every reggae song ever.

marvelous

Was this song about marijuana?

Marcus Fairweather No...😉✌️

I just cry everytime

Did she come from a strange world? Leave her mind behind

ostinato ed ingombrante pensiero
dedicato e posto da umili presenze silenziose
generato da sodalizi e visioni ambiziose
friabili sostegni che perdurano nel tempo

Love the way he hangs on the words, great singer and artist

Grande canzone di un grande artista . Poesia allo stato puro

Nick's music helped me back in the day. And it still does.

always cry when I hear this

My sweet beloved Nick!

I like to smoke mary jane and listen to nick drake

queeneggplant smoke a Nick to Mary

You def know where it's at😁

kind of like John Denver meets James Taylor

with a touch of joni mitchell

Kind of not like either of them, thankfully

Kind of like two million levels above both of them combined.

mucho love respect
Nick Drake hope you found youre way in the stars above
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

marijuana...

talented fella and a great voice

Is this a Baroque music?

Rachel Romo yes.

Ray Warleigh on flute.

Do you know what type of flute is this? And where can I find its cipher? Thank you.

Reminds me of the girl I loved who had no idea I was in love with her .

+Rupert Thompson awwww <3

same :(

Better to have unrequited love than no love at all

Oh I hear you. I had a girl called Janemary. Thats why I am here. So it goes...

fuck bro too close to me home

sounds like Hookah knows... the thoughts of Mary Jane 

One of Nick's most beautiful finger picking songs, also a nice song to smoke cannabis to!

Yes sir!

good flute

True-mendous!

Música boa de se ouvir a qualquer momento.

Thanks Nick. A hug from Italy. You won't be forgotten.

10 dislikes? fucking bastards..

who put the thumbs down has no emotions

hate is really just a search for love. Let's hope those who disliked this will find their love.

well said, my thoughts excatly

@Moses Lawson Fear is the opposite of Love

16👎😠

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard

Hey Roger, you're taking a lot of energy to troll each of Nick Drake's videos. Maybe you should quit wasting your life away.

Poesia.

What's there to know? Anyone who takes their own life is a self-absorbed coward.

You are so mistaken.

I am very happy to read about someone who has the right news about the happenings! It wasn't Nick's fault. He thought to take the "medicine" as he had always done without letal consequences. It is incredible that the police closed the case as a suicide!

grandiosa davvero! Un'Anima irripetibile!

Fantastica!

happy birthday nick, taken away too soon

The more i listen to Nick Drake the more I realise he was a genious!

A better place, I'd hope.

Nick, where are you?

Im as strait as a dye me, but god if i could love a man it would be this bloke, thank you Nick just love your music R.I.P X

One of the most beautiful songs I know. There is also a more simple version, only with guitar, which is even better.

He's a poet!!!

jammer dat hij er niet meer is, zeer gevoelig rein v.d.Eijk

@shaynescope It's from his "Time of No Reply' album...I can't seem to find a version of that on youtube, but I like that one better.

Smoking to this song, absolute beauty and freedom.

@panikman66 I believe he died from an overdose of depression medication. I don't know if it was intentional.

he died with a huge lack of love and care like many special and talent people did, was a beautiful angel deserv our respect forever, thank you nick.

true music
v

Tell me what you think of my cover version of Thoughts of Mary Jane. You can find in in my channel

@whitelily123 he's blowing in the wind with mary jane

Lol of course this song is abour weed he lived in the sixties and seventies how can you be so blind and deaf it doesn't make his music any less enjoyable and beautiful

where is the multiple thumbs up button? I freakin' love (t)his stuff!

@jzoom45 alright, thank you so much

@thesunstartstoset

i may let u know as soon as i find out. i just started reading a book on drake by trevor dann. but the morocco reference i think i read on wikipedia. or i may have heard it in a documentary about drake i saw on youtube.

@jzoom45 I read something similar, but are you sure it was morocco?

is he talking about marijuana here? comes from a far strange land....morrocco? i read his friends took him there because that's where the best, strongest cannabis came from at the time.

<3

:)))

Good stuff right here!

I remember when I heard this song (and the whole first album) for the first time...I cried like a baby because it was the most beautiful thing I've heard in so much time

its quite true that the great die young because this earth cant harbour such amazing different people

his voice sound a bit like colin hays... or the other way around, whatever

Tetsuya Nomura had a hard time escaping the influence of this song when he composed "Breezy" for the Final Fantasy 8 ST.

instead of the useless arguements about his alleged drug usage,lets celebrate nick drake timeless contribution to our lifes-the incredible music that we all can share and enjoy.

whats all the focus on him, or on you?
why not focus on the idea

@teawithbeardsley true

Mary Jane <3

@7rohu I agree

he actually was on anti depressants and suffered from a sleep disorder. in either case the coroner had said that he had "Acute amitriptyline poisoning — self-administered when suffering from a depressive illness" although no suicide not was ever found. maybe if he had access to some of todays medications he would been okay. a great musician was lost.

@MatteusNova I also have the same birthday. How magical.

Damn, what a waste when he passed... Same with Sandy Denny. Their words and songs sure makes you think and dream. Don't they? Nick and I share the same birthday too, not the same year, of course. Growing old, is no fun, I'll tell ya.

so beautiful; the flute and cello.

@panikman66 Nick Drake died of an overdose of prescription drugs

he died by accidend took a litlle be more depression pilules...in that days he was very weak ,and heart just stop beating till he was sleeping.

these comments are awesome.its cool to see people are still discovering his brilliant legacy of melancholy and hope.this should go with out saying, but if your into his work you should definitely give Elliott Smith a listen.RiP mrDrake "safe in your place deep in the earth,thats when theyll know what you were truly worth"

weird that Nick Drake died of an overdose of legal drugs that I too had been given in the seventies when in a mental hospital ( I took them because I didnt feel anything from them) I didnt want to have the heavy stuff they fed me I was only 15!
previous to that they tried to give me barbiturates then Valium, Librium sleeping pills the lot!! :-[
BUT it was Tripdizol that I took for a short period - I thought it was totally harmless!

steebzs- i did the same thing...one night my girlfriend came over and we listened to the "way to blue" album. everything seemed perfect, sooo perfect, i cradled her in my arms as she would fall in and out of sleep...after we broke up i tried to listen to nick drake again but found it too hard to relive the memory... but time passed and i got over it. nick drakes music is so relaxing, so calming so very..... hard to describe

@1958jimmymac So the heroin theory was BS?

@Uniden2907 Hu stuckin fupid are you?

love the last line pause transition to graceful outro

smoke buds

the greatest song ever written and sung

Se parece al tenista este gualtrapa.

Another lost hyperbole....

The meanderings of the mindless is always interesting to behold as the pain of mistaken slights takes hold, allowing them to spew their rage on a subject that , when its contents are considered, disallows them from having a coherent or rational opinion on something that hoovers their mind to a spotless condition, then allows the spewtonian bug free and wreckless reign. Your attempts to undermine my views would be hilarious if it were not for their accompanied psychosis.

It's settled then! Everyone should consult with davidoffon for advice on marijuana/anti-psychotics/cocaine/acid/electroconvulsive therapy/mental institutions because it's obvious that he's currently on all of them.

If I was to advise you it would only be to shut up, (g)love muppet, which now begs the question as to which digit controls your speech/touch? In your case there is a lot to be said for saying nothing or its nearest equivalent in the (g)luv(ov) muppetry. fingers tight!

If my stalker could talk for
My words be untrue
Then what would I think
Who would I sue as
The pollution to my problem
Is looking like you.

I will not take advice from someone who cannot even make a grammatically coherent sentence.

well, it's not well written. It's actually shit.

Every thing is can be a word, even if written absurd. Ask Patrick Kavanagh.

(Makisswe)

You can ease your demons in many ways
Writing is for me, it says
Everything my dizzy daze contradicted
In the learning faze
Fear of death and induced stupidity
helped me to survive though many friends
did not arrive at this conclusive paradigm
They amalgamated their self hate and
Were early fried and dined upon by
The march of dates that death likes to deviate

happy they probably are not but hey...we all gotta eazzz our "deamons"...

havent smoked in 4 years ....temted though:))))

I agree

Agree 100%. People seem to all too often ignore those crucial details and pay for it with an unpleasant experience
