Umm go ahead and link me to the soundcloud of you singing beautifully while playing complicated fingerpicking patterns, not missing a single note, in 20 different tunings most of which you made up.

This is the truth, think of all the talentless kids who get by so easily because of mommy and daddy's help while all the poor musicians have to scrape along for years to even get noticed by anyone.

There are many Nick Drakes, most unheard because they have no glamorous back story.

Not saying that nick isn't talented. He definitely was
I was just saying that becoming an actress from a rich family isn't very hard

>>69801335
Nick was able to afford recording his albums.

>>69800975
>Can I touch it Nick?

>>69801332
which is why the amount of great music is exponentially growing now that anyone with a pirated DAW can make music right?

Gosh, it's so heartbreaking what Molly went through. She seemed like a really nice woman. I hope she was aware of Nick's increasing popularity by the time of her death.

Also, what book is this?

>I feel shitty for even being one of many millennials that recently discovered his music and becoming a part of a once nearly non-existent audience now composed of hipsters
Why the fuck does this matter?

>>69802437
Yeah I guess it's all about the get up and go to make things

>>69802592
Pretty sure that's self-deprecating humour.

Townes Van Zandt is a spiritual cousin to Drake. His music's darker in some places though and he didn't have lady problems like Nick did.

>>69802592
The fact that I didn't know of him sooner, it's plenty easy to comprehend.

>>69801886
fucking LOOOOVE THIS 10/10 thank you!

>>69802684
His audience being hipsters has no bearing on the matter though. Sounds like you're being needlessly self-conscious.

>>69802713
It's just a fucking joke dude, I'm cracking fun at myself. Lighten up. Bet you're a nice guy to have a drink with.

>>69802722
I bet she doesn't even fucking listen to any of that
How I would love to see her get interviewed by a talk show host and have them ask a surprise question about Nick Drake or the Stooges off her post and have her talk out her ass.

WTF, I love Miley now!

Iggy Pop is pretty mainstream, that's not really a surprise and Nick Drake has a massive cult following on the internet. I'm more surprised about her listening to Modern Lovers.

>>69802829
I heard he wouldnt take showers, clip his nails or change his clothes for weeks at a time when his depression got bad

>>69802855
I don't do that either and i'm not even depressed. Just lazy.

I think it's fair to say that Pink Moon is one of the most bittersweet and despairing albums every put on record.
