Nick Drake

Nicholas Rodney "Nick" Drake (19 June 1948 – 25 November 1974) was an English singer-songwriter and musician, known for his gentle guitar-based songs. He failed to find a wide audience during his lifetime but his work has gradually achieved wider notice and recognition. Drake signed to Island Records when he was 20 years old and a student at the University of Cambridge, and released his debut album, Five Leaves Left, in 1969. By 1972, he had recorded two more albums—Bryter Layter and Pink Moon. Neither sold more than 5,000 copies on initial release. Drake's reluctance to perform live, or be interviewed, contributed to his lack of commercial success. more »

It's summertime
And the living is easy
Fish are jumping
And the cotton is high
Your daddy is rich
And your mommy's good looking
So hush pretty baby, don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're gonna wake up singing
You're gonna spread your wings
Take to the sky
But till that morning
There's just not a thing that can harm you
With daddy and mommy standing by
