이 세상을 살고 음악을 듣다 보면 어느 순간, 어떤 노래가 내 마음 속에 잔잔히 스며 들어오는 드물고도 귀한 순간이 있다. 내게는 닉 드레이크가, 그리고 이 리버맨이 바로 그런 노래이다. 당신도 나와 같이 강가에서 배를 타고 마음의 밤길, 정신의 방황, 마음의 쉼을 즐기시기를 ...



Nick Drake- Riverman           


* riverman

betty came by on her way
said she had a word to say
about things today
and fallen leaves.

said she hadn't heard the news
hadn't had the time to choose
a way to lose
but she believes.

going to see the river man
going to tell him all i can
about the plan
for lilac time.

if he tells me all he knows
about the way his river flows
and all night shows
in summertime.
betty said she prayed today
for the sky to blow away
or maybe stay
she wasn't sure.

for when she thought of summer rain
calling for her mind again
she lost the pain
and stayed for more.

going to see the river man
going to tell him all i can
about the ban
on feeling free.

if he tells me all he knows
about the way his river flows
i don't suppose
it's meant for me.

oh, how they come and go
oh, how they come and go

Nick Drake - The Thoughts of Mary Jane      


Just recently found Nick Drake's music of all places here on You Tube! I heard this tune on someone's video and asked them who it was and that was it. I then looked into his music and was happy to purchase his first release from 1969 "Five Leaves Left". Here is a little about Nick and the songs lyrics.

Nicholas Rodney "Nick" Drake (19 June 1948 25 November 1974) was an English singer-songwriter and musician best known for his haunting, acoustic, autumnal songs. His primary instrument was the guitar, although he was also proficient at piano, clarinet, and saxophone.

Drake signed to Island Records when he was 20 years old and released his debut album, Five Leaves Left, in 1969. By 1972, he had recorded two more albums — Bryter Layter and Pink Moon. None of the albums sold more than 5,000 copies on their initial release. His reluctance to perform live or be interviewed further contributed to his lack of commercial success.

He suffered from depression and insomnia throughout his life, and these topics were often reflected in his lyrics. Upon completion of his third album, 1972's Pink Moon, he withdrew from both live performance and recording, retreating to his parents' home in rural Warwickshire. On 25 November 1974, Drake died from an overdose of amitriptyline, a prescribed antidepressant; he was 26 years old.


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 reasons for her smile
What are her dreams
When they've journeyed for a mile
The way she sings
And her brightly coloured rings
Make her the 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.
