e depois há aqueles que só conhecemos postumamente, e sempre com um sentimento de enorme perda, por não termos estado mais atentos quando devíamos.
é o caso de nick drake, nos anos setenta completamente desconhecido mas hoje reconhecido como uma das maiores influências de sempre na música popular.
das várias canções dele que ouço continuamente há anos, absolutas e mais-que-perfeitas, escolhi esta. outras aparecerão.
Never sing for my supper
I never help my neighbor
Never do what is proper
For my share of labour
I'm a poor boy
And I'm a rover
Count your coins and
Throw them over my shoulder
I may grow older
Nobody knows
How cold it grows
And nobody sees
How shaky my knees
Nobody cares
How steep my stairs
And nobody smiles
If I cross their stiles
Oh poor boy
So sorry for himself
Oh poor boy
So worried for his health
You may say every day
Where will he stay tonight
Never know what I came for
Seems that I've forgotten
Never ask what I came for
Or how I was begotten
I'm a poor boy
And I'm a ranger
Things I say
May seem stranger
Than sunday
Changing to Monday
Nobody knows
How cold it flows
And nobody feels
The worn down heels
Nobody's eyes
Make the skies
Nobody spreads
Their aching heads
Oh poor boy
So worried for his life
Oh poor boy
So keen to take a wife
He's a mess but he'll say yes
If you just dress in white
Nobody knows
How cold it blows
And nobody sees
How shaky my knees
Nobody cares
How steep my stairs
And nobody smiles
If you cross their stiles
Oh poor boy
So sorry for himself
Oh poor boy
So worried for his health
You may say every day
Where will he stay tonight
Oh poor boy
So worried for his life
Oh poor boy
So keen to take a wife
Oh poor boy
So sorry for himself
Oh poor boy
So worried for his health
Oh poor boy
