We have a responsibility to keep his music alive, and not only his, but also musicians like Jackson C. Frank, who influenced Nick Drake himself. We are fortunate to live in an era where music is easier to discover; there is so much gold to listen to and keep alive.
I saw a french guy do the whole of five leaves left in a pub in Camden a few years back. There was about five of us avidly listening to the music, while a crowded bar talked loudly over him. Eventually they even started playing music out of the speakers before he'd finished. He eventually stopped half way through a song, sadly sighed and said "well at least you're getting the authentic Nick Drake experience.
It was poetic and tragic and in a way perfect, truly the closest anyone could come now to seeing the great man for real
Anyone who loves Nick Drake should check out John Martyn, a friend and fellow folk fingerstyle singer song-writer, who used alternate tunings to create soundscapes similar to Drake. John Martyn wrote his most famous song Solid Air for Drake, as a song of love and empathy, trying to reach Drake through depression, which one can only imagine weighed upon him heavily like solid air.
Its almost impossible to stay around vacuous people and maintain a social facade once you've had a mental 👉breakthrough👈 it is a life worse than death🤍

He was of very posh background and became a big Zeppelin fan too.
Pink Moon is my favourite album as it is devastating and beautiful.

Nick Drake was such a quiet and non-confrontational soul… really makes you wonder why Kendrick Lamar would beef with him on "Not Like Us"
