Nick Drake - They're Leaving Me Behind

[@plurbodude]

The true test of a GREAT song is how it holds up over time....This is a MASTERPIECE of a song Nick Drake is just incredible!! 0%bullshit right here Did this guy write a bad song ever?? No! He is a musical genius! My life is better for having discovered his songs

[@afraidsari]

This is a whole damn mood. A mood that has stuck with me since I first heard it. Life is hard

[@esmeclair7895]

I love the mood, bittersweet isn’t it

[@ZMWise]

Without a doubt, this is my favorite Nick Drake song. It is so raw...so meaningful...oh, my heart.

[@apes4days254]

He wrote this in Aix in France. One of his first original songs he composed

[@SheenaRea]

So beautiful. Probably my favorite Nick Drake song. Katherine Priddy does a lovely cover of this. 💔

[@nin920]

I love how you can hear that little misstep in the guitar near the end. Love the rawness and imperfection on this album. Nick Drake is definitely one of my favorite songwriters still.

This song hits hard for me at this time, I haven't been moved so hard by a song in a long time... RIP Nick Drake

[@KokkieSmilez]

this is heartbreakingly beautiful, it is liquid gold and yet so painful to listen to

[@esmeclair7895]

Bittersweet beautiful mess

[@lindadote]

Heartbreakingly sublime, there’s never been anyone quite like Nick. Huge thanks for sharing.

Tramp moves on to the end of the street I listen to the echo of his hobnail feet For some there's a future to find But I think they're leaving me behind The world hurries on at its breakneck pace People fly by in their lifelong race For them there's a future to find And I think they're leaving me behind The chances, they come but the chances have been lost Success can be gained, but at too great a cost For some there's a future to find But I think they're leaving me behind The wind sweeps up and goes back to its tree The rain flows by and moves on to the sea For them there's a future to find But I think they're leaving me behind

hi guys, i hope you are all doing okay. Eat something yummy and don't stay up too late tonight. I'm wishing you all physical and emotional rest and peace, no matter when you may be reading this

[@esmeclair7895]

You too lovely, thank you!

[@gwenhdalh]

Thank you, I guess that's what I needed to hear today

[@hexis23]

A sublime and poignant song about someone who has unfortunately lost all hope in this mad world.

[@geraldturner4770]

Seven thousand six hundred and forty four of us who have are being left behind. It is OK, we like it right here. Not alone, no.

[@zakkdavis1704]

Gerald Turner, this resonates with how I feel on a miraculous level. the sound, the feel, everything. Glad you enjoy what I consider some of the best music ever created.

[@bencardwell5545]

this song gives me chills. "Success can be gained, but at too great a cost."

[@ajahnpadawan8812]

Nick saw the truth.

[@runtothehills8992]

Pleased to see my favourite song survives in whatever the 21st century is.

[@sibengerard1856]

THESE DEMOS ARE AS POWERFUL AS SOME OF THE STUDIO RECORDINGS-SOME OVERPOWER THE SOME OF THE LATTER.

Love

[@jahlel.5291]

For those like me who sometimes feel that others are moving at a faster pace than they are.
