The quality of our dreams is both a reflection of our thoughts and actions as well as a general foreshadowing of the fate of our souls in the next life...A nightly, temporary karma that beckons us to change - for the good - so as to avoid a more permanent karma... Beauty(🌷)+Complexity(🌎) =Intent(❤️) The Figure 8 Analogy: An analogy on life, death, the dream-state and the symbolism intertwined within the human experience. We human beings are not traveling in the abstract motion of a straight line towards death (for instance, the numerical straight line of say 1-89). Instead, we are moving in the motion of a figure 8. The Figure 8 is a natural repeating pattern that is divided into two halves and is thus the perfect symbol to represent the human life cycle and our two primary states of existence that we are continuously moving in and out of -the Awake State and the Dream-State. When we awake from sleep we come full circle to when we fall back asleep (represented by the bottom half of the figure 8 )and when we go into the dream state we come full circle to when we awake from the dream state (represented by the top half of the figure 8 ). Upon death; the figure 8 of life untwines, but it’s not the body untwining from the mind that this analogy represents. It's two states of mind untwining to form a larger state of mind. (8-0) Because the awake state is really a state -of mind, with our body's physical reality "consciously" intertwined; and the dream-state is also a state of mind, with our body's physical reality "subconsciously" intertwined. Therefore; upon death, these two states of mind untwine to form a “larger” state of mind. A state that has all the potentialities of the dream world (flying, telepathy, psychokinesis, etc) combined with all the actualities of the awake world(nature, form, bonds, etc). This I refer to as the transitional analogy. While conceiving The Figure 8 Analogy, I realized life and death must be perceived -from one point of view- as seperate entities(the transitional analogy(8-0), but must also be perceived -from another point of view- as inseparable entities(the symbolic analogy👇), both of which are ultimately linked by the dream-state. The symbolic analogy consists of the untwined figure 8 of life/the 'circle of death’, if you will, which -abstractly- overlapps the ‘circle of life’/the Earth, with the overlappment representing the dream-state, like the common area in a venn diagram, and implies that the dream state is just as much a part of life as is of death ~by which semi-explains precognitive dreams, prodromal dreams, "visitations" by deceased relatives, etc; for the dream-state has a foothold in the afterlife, and is based on the premise that “while our body sleeps, our dream state symbolically represents the state that awaits upon our body's ultimate rest.” In other words, while we are lying down and sleeping/dreaming, this natural process symbolizes where we go when we're ultimately lying down/dead -to a place "like" our dream-state...A state "of mind” with our body's physical form+bonds eternally engrained and intertwined. ✋🏿👁~8~👁🤚🏻

In 1986 I bought heaven in a wildflower and on the back of the album it mentioned how his parents wanted to keep his music alive, so motivated by his music and a deep appreciation for the music he left I wrote to the record company and received a letter from frank kornellison who said he would forward my letter on and Molly and I struck up a friendship, pen pals if you like, A woman of otherworldly qualities and consummate lady. Nick had his wish in me and so many others, his music is a balm to the soul.

I found out about Nick Drake when I read The Perks of Being a Wallflower in middle school in the 2010s. In the book the main character makes a mixtape and the book listed all of the songs on it. It was my introduction to a whole lot of great artists, my family mostly listens to country so this was also my proper introduction to The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and basically all of the music in that list. “Time of No Reply” was on the list and since that day when I got home from school and went and looked all of those songs up, it’s been one of my favorite songs. I’ve always found it so beautiful and comforting. When I found out more about his life, it broke my heart.

As and artist myself I’m positively convinced the gift brings with it a curse. While creative energy is a great high, I also understand an uncontrollable depression and nervousness, I believe Nick must have been experiencing something similar. I have respect to those who seek to unravel the unknown, to bring forth ideas by exploring the mind and imagination. They become our hero, traveling alone to dark places for us. Bringing back answers and solutions to our problems. Often a terribly frustrating role it is as an artist. Being misunderstood, unrecognized and unappreciated is certain, especially for the most brilliant. Going to far away places, searching for help, but losing themselves. Thank you Nick for your journey. It is the journey you lived... I can’t help but to wish it had ended some other way. RIP

@@SamuelLucas-bd8jm Hi Samuel, I think it's a matter of knowing you have a purpose that's way beyond the surface. Don't let the measures of our society define you (easier said than done). You are a light in this world... it's really why you are here. Darkness wants to overcome the light, but it's the other way around. Darkness is empty and dead, and light is the active life-force that shines into emptiness to create life. We are small pieces of that light. We can create life into the dark parts of our place and purpose. I'm not all to sure how all this work in my own life, so it's hard for me too. I do have moments of exuberance and renewed energy when I see I'm on track. But I can let "supposed failures" steal my joy. Most of my battle is my own inner darkness and that's my mistake. I focus on self and become more depressed. A wise person told me : "you can overcome depression by helping others in need. It's the best way to help yourself. Be the light in someones life, give them your energy. Your energy will not run out, but be replenish twice as much and even more". Was that you playing piano on your KZitem? As an example, you could play your piano for someone, live or a recording. Just one person that you can bring a smile to with your playing. Or what ever other light you can bring someone. Just say, "hey I want to play something for you". Or "I wrote this letter of appreciation for you" and give them a simple letter of gratitude listing specific things about them. Might be a family member or a random person... an elderly person or a little kid even. There's so many people that need this, but just start with one at a time. I believe your place in purpose has someone very close that would receive your light. It doesn't even have to be masterful music or art or whatever. Just something simple that you give to someone else from your heart. The smile will let you know you're on track. I guess that's my advice to you, IDK, just try it. Then let me know what happens. I would love to hear about it. Thanks for reaching out for support.

He sadly passed too young but will be forever eternal, as generation after generation discover his now timeless work.

Since then I have been obsessed with him throughout my life and play his music in happy, stressed and sad situations. I will never stop listening to his music. His voice and strumming just touches something in your mind that no other musician has ever done for me atleast. Now I'm 18 and about to leave home, I will carry his tunes with me forever.

Friend asked me what kind of music is it? ..You just have to let yourself be sucked in and once you did, you are hooked by magic of tunes and chords produced by his finger tips, soon you realize how it feels to be privileged by huge impact of this rare music delicacy. Those elongated (maybe arachnodactyly - spider fingers in every positive meaning ) - create world, too specific, like spider knit it's web. It changed the way i think of word - 'Melancholia'. There is so much beauty in there, that is beyond any words.

I discovered Nick’s music in 2000. The same time this documentary was made. I can’t remember if I saw this first or heard the music first, but for over 20 years it’s been a source of solace and inspiration. I think first heard of Nick Drake through the Graham Coxon song ‘I Wish’.

I've been much influenced and moved by Nick's musicality and lyricism since the 1970s. May his legacy stretch to eternity. It's strange how the English upper ctrust are so proud of the psychological abuse they inflict upon their children in the guise of an education.

What a great documentary! I thought his mum's song was beautiful! And her poem at 33 mins (read perfectly by his sister) is devastatingly insightful!

Interesting that one interviewee said that Nick Drake was suffering something existential. Creative people often draw on other art-forms or overseas travel to summon inspiration during periods of being artistically blocked or experiencing an existential crisis. Davey Graham went to Morocco in the early 1960s. Imagine if Nick Drake travelled to Mali in the early 1970s for inspiration and met up with Ali Farka Touré. Can someone write a time travel screenplay to make this happen?

I often wonder if he would have lived. Just what incredible music he could have created. I mean those three albums are favorites of mine.

I love that Nick generally doesn’t sing on the 1 of each bar. Such a simple thing sets him apart and takes the listener off musical autopilot.

Dwelling on the tragedy, I actually find that jarring. I forget. The main thing is that he captured things of beauty so truly. He saw more.

I recommend Gabrielle Drake’s book on her brother : « Remembered for a while ». Beautiful, even although at times difficult for to read because of the sorrow that permeates it. Still, a great read.
