From the album

Two By Nick

Having read one bio on him - I had to dig out the albums again -

Nick Drake - River Man

Nick Drake - Chime Of The City Clock

Drake signed to Island Records when he was 20, while a student at the University of Cambridge. He released his debut album, Five Leaves Left, in 1969, followed by the jazzier, more upbeat Bryter Layter (1971) and the sparse Pink Moon (1972). The albums sold, in total, fewer than 4,000 copies in his lifetime. Drake's reluctance to perform live or give interviews contributed to his lack of success.

Drake suffered from depression, a condition evident in his lyrics. After recording Pink Moon, he withdrew from performance and retreated to his parents' home in rural Warwickshire. In 1974, aged 26, Drake died from an overdose of approximately 30 amitriptyline pills, a prescribed antidepressant. His cause of death was determined as suicide.

Reggae Splash

In the seventies, I was deep into reggae and rasta roots.

Black Uhuru - The Youth Of Eglington

Black Uhuru is a Jamaican reggae group formed in 1972, initially as Uhuru (Swahili for 'freedom'). The group has undergone several line-up changes over the years, with Derrick "Duckie" Simpson as the mainstay. They had their most successful period in the 1980s, with their album Anthem winning the first-ever Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 1985.

The Congos - Fisherman

Siegfried Idyll

You can separate the music from the man - as this is the most exquisite tone poem to a loved one - Cosima Wagner.

Time for more easy in the ears music -

Nilsson - Me And My Gal

Nilsson - It Had To Be You

Nilsson - Me And My Arrow

Dark

It is just a quarter after eight and is already dark,
The nights are drawing in.
A contrast that is deep and strangely stark
and so into shells, we retreat and draw within.
Autumn is near its moonstruck mark
And a new season does begin.

Dido's Lament

Two versions, one on original instruments of the time -

Henry Purcell - Dido's Lament

Christine Rice, mezzo-soprano, and the Academy of Ancient Music perform Dido's Lament (When I am laid in Earth) with its preceding recitative (Thy hand, Belinda...) from Purcell's Dido & Aeneas. Full track music video, including the recitative.

Gives me goosebumps every time.
