Honestly, as a huge Nick Drake fan, I love listening to this. Partly because of the mystery and huge lack of just normal spoken word interviews, or recorded footage, or anything like that of him. It makes his existence almost ghostly, especially compared to so many other musicians of whom we have a ton of footage and videos etc etc to look back on. I also love the fact that he was quite clearly totally off his face in this recording 😄 and philosophizing and drunkenly rambling like we all do, but in his very well spoken posh way. Love it 👌

In the new biography by Richard Morton Jack, Drake's sister is quoted as saying this is Nick parodying late-night BBC radio, and the affectations of speaking in tenses like "as one does" -- she says she can hear his mischievous tone in it.

this is strange because i only just started listening to nick, and yesterday instead of going to sleep i was up all night listening to his music/watching documentaries. i was laying in bed but i got up at 5 to look out the window at the trees and i was thinking to myself how they looked so vibrant compared to the pitch black night. I took photos of the sunrise and listened to the birds in the trees. I love staying awake all night because when the morning comes, you're the only person who's awake in the house and it's very peaceful (i live with my family). When nick spoke about staying awake in the night it kind of scared me because it's like he's perfectly saying what i'm struggling to explain.

He went to bed when the tree was still green. (It's quite prophetic and poetic in a way isn't it? Even though I know is the typical drunk chat. He says everything should be black before someone goes to bed, and then the sound of that "when you leave me" song. No one should die that young.)

I know it sounds like Elvis Presley, but I don't think it is, Greg. Elvis never used that type of orchestration in his songs. I think the singer is actually Ral Donner who was an Elvis impersonator (a good one) who had hits in England. One poster identified the song as "Don't Leave Me Now," which was a Ral Donner song. Check it yourself, the song is on KZitem.

Emm...good evening... Or should I say good morning? The time is twenty-five to five And I've been sitting here for some time now, Actually I After a party which I quite enjoyed, but you know it One has one reservations when one has quite enjoyed oneself, But one has to make reservations because, uh, The people were particularly interesting. In fact, there weren't as many people there as I expected there to be, It was, I thought...you know, The Maynard-Mitchells have a big big do In fact there weren't nearly as many as one might have thought, Which was, which was a pity. In fact, I think I must have drunk rather a lot (Or although it seemed so at the time I felt myself quite sober) But when I leapt into the car to drive home After my merry abandon I found the task extremely difficult! And it was extremely fortunate That, um, there was nothing else on the road because, looking back at it, I seem to remember I had a mental brainstorm (Well, I didn't realise at the time) And I think I drove the whole way home on the righthand side of the road! Which is something of course which comes from driving in France too much, Which is what I've been doing recently, As you probably know, driving in France, you know. And in moments of stress such as was this journey home, One forgets so easily- the lies, the truth and the pain. And so I'm wavering from the point What I was trying to say...is uhm, When I sat here I had an extremely pleasant time on the piano, actually I was playing the piano and sort of singing, And I rather fear I might have kept people awake upstairs One hopes not, but it was pleasant, and it's extremely pleasant sitting here now, Because I think there is something extraordinarily nice About seeing the dawn up before one goes to bed, Because there's something uncanny about it When it suddenly becomes light, because one connects darkness with going to bed, Surely... um, and when one is still up when it becomes light, And it's a new day, and you still haven't gone to bed to sleep (Because the night equals sleep, so easily) And when one is still up when the new day begins It is something of an intriguing experience, I always find. I can look out of the window now, and that tree over there is green, Whereas before one goes to bed, Just when one goes to bed, that tree should be black, surely! Everything should be black before one goes to bed, But that is surely the essence of the Romantic! Anyway, I think I'm straying from the point. I should probably stop talking now Because, um, if I don't I shall start sort of relating on life histories and things, Which will be frightfully tedious. So it's here that I'll sort of say goodnight, you know... Goodnight! (laughs)
