Any Nick Drake fans out there (details inside)

Asked by rebbel (35547points) September 6th, 2010

Are there Jellies out here, who are a fan of the beautiful work of Nick Drake?
If so, do you want to tell me which album of his is the most dearest to your heart?
And/or which single song?
Can you tell me how you came to know him and his music, is there a nice story attached to it?

I was in Greece in 2000, for some months, to take some me-time because i was healing from depression, when an other Dutch guy, a singer/songwriter himself, presented me with Pink Moon.
Maybe due to my state of being, i don’t know, but i cried when i (over and over again) listened to the cd.
Truly the most beautiful music ever to have heard.
I told my girlfriend back home about my ‘discovery’.
Coincidentally the television aired a documentary about him one of those days, so she watched it, and she was overblown, just like me.
When i came back home she gifted me his three cd box, which i cherish till this day.
This, i am afraid, is going to be a short thread, or are there more then @whatthefluther, @oneotherjellie and me who love Drake?
